Of the 20 people who were
signed up for the medical self help
course which concluded last week,
only nine attended all sessions
and passed the final examination
necessary to receive their certifi­
cates. They were Mr. and Mrs.
George Laws, Mrs. Albert Scha-
lock, Mrs. Henry Anderegg, Mrs.
Kenneth Tupper, Mrs. Evelyn
Heath, Mrs. Tom Bates, Mrs. Ray
Robertson and Mrs. Charles Ming-
er.
The others attended some or
all of the sessions at which such
subjects as artificial respiration,
care of persons in accidents, burns,
etc.; general hygeine, radioactivi­
ty. shelters, fall-out, and emer­
gency delivery of babies wer?
presented. Classes were taught
by Sheriff Spencer Younce and
deputies Fred Roediger and Dar­
win Shaw and the one on child
birth was given by Dr. J. W. Buell.
Persons who attended most of
the sessions can still get certifi­
cates by taking the exam of 60
questions on the course.
Those who took the course state
that much useful knowlege was
gained that could be vital in case
of emergency.

Over 6V2 Million Tree Seedlings to
Be A vailable from State Forestry
Over six and one-half million
tree seedlings will be available to
Oregon forest and farm wood­
land owners throughout the state
during the 1962-63 planting sea­
son from the State Foresty De­
partment’s two forest nurseries,
according to Assistant State For­
ester C. D. Maus. “Order blanks
will be mailed upon request start­
ing the last week in October, but
processing of trees will not begin
until weather conditions bring
plant dormancy sometime in No­
vember,” he stated.
Production this year includes 25
different tree species, which will
provide growing stock adapted to
nearly all climatic conditions in
the state. They will meet most
planting requirements such as
windbreaks and shelterbelts, or
growing the various forest pro­
ducts such as Christmas trees and
merchantable timber crops on
both the woodland and regular
forest areas, Maus indicated.
Trees include both the eastern
and western Oregon varieties of
Douglas fir as well as the noble,
white, grand and Shasta firs. Port
Orford and incense cedars, Sierra
redwood, Chinese arborvitac, Nor­
way spruce and Rocky Mt. juni­
per. The pines are represented by
ponderosa, sugar, Scotch, Austrian,
knobcone, shore, and lodgepole.
Hardwoods include Black Locust,
caragana, green ash, Russian olive,
cascara and honey locust (thorn­
less).
This is the first year that sugar
pine has been available and only
the second year for Austrian pine,
Rocky Mt. juniper and honey lo­
cust, so their supply is somewhat
limited. Chinese elm will not be
available for the first time in ma­
ny years due to a seed crop failure
from Canada to Texas. Monterey
pine is likewise unavailable be­
cause of lack of seed supply.
Individuals wanting to receive
trees order blanks can be placed
on the mailing list by writing the
State Forester, P.O Box 2289, Sa­
lem, Oregon or they can be obtain­
ed starting the last week in Oeto
her from the department's field
offices, or those of the Extension
Service, Soil Conscrvat.on Service
and U S. Forest Service Although
tree seedlings ar? in good supply,
the demand has increased so rapid­
ly with the Tree Farm movement
in Oregon that it recommended or­
ders b? placed immediately upon
receipt ef the order blank.
Processing will start sometime
in November governed by prevail­
ing weather conditions Applicants
are reminded that planting should
never be done until the ground to
be planted has had sufficient rain
to soak it to a depth of at least 12

inches. Trees received prior to this
condition should be “heeled in”
as illustrated in the attached
“planting tips.” Applications re­
ceived during the planting season
will require about 10 days to pro­

Without justice no nation can

At the meeting of the Vernonia
Lions club Monday evening, re­
ports were heard concerning storm
damage to the high school grand­
stand which had been a Lion club
project last year. Fortunately, the
damage is covered by insurance
and restoration will be made.
Members of the Lions club went
on record commending employees
of the city, and of the West Ore­
gon Electric and West Coast Tele­
phone company for their work in
restoring water, lights and phone
service for the area.
Final plans were made for the
annual hotcake feed which will
take place Saturday at the City
cafe, starting at 6:00 a.m. and last­
ing until 6:00 p.m. Funds derived
will be used to purchase hospital
beds which will be made avail-
ble on loan to local people when
need for them arises.
Ralph Bergerson, representing
the Vernonia Chamber of Com­
merce, talked about Christmas de­
corations. The Lions club, has for
a number of years, sponsored the
decorating of the down-town area,
including a tree. The chamber will
donate some money for additional
decorations this year and the
Lions club will arrange for having
some new decorations made. Dr.
John Buell was named as chair­
man of the committee on decora­
tions and he will be assisted by
John Jensen, club president; Joey
Acaiturri, Neil Zimmerman, Char­
ley Hickman and Ralph Berger­
son.
Bruce Roberts became a mem­
ber of the club Monday evening.
A sign for the Lions club which
will be displayed in the fire hall
on the day of each club meeting
has been made for the club by
Mrs. Rosalind Veazie, sixth grade
teacher at the Washington school.
It says: “Vernonia Lions Club
Meets Here Tonight” and it will
appear on November 5.

Running Ruts
Ruin Roads
PLEASE OBSERVE RO AD CLOSURE SIGNS
Forest land which grows limber crops can also serve the community in providing recrea­
tional opportunities such as hunting and fishing. We try to observe this principle in our
forest management.
Some of our roads, however, have to be “ put to bed” for the winter when w et fall
weather arrives, because vehicle tracks in the softened roadbeds develop into running
ruts that can become deep gullies by spring. This is w hy w e close some of these roads
after grading them smooth in the fall and building waterbars across them to carry runoff
w ater out of the road.
Tons of irreplaceable soil can be lost in a few short months when any vehicle uses
one of these closed roads. A ruined road hurts the whole community. W e need the soil
to keep on growing trees. We need the road for fire protection and forest management.
