Forest Service Braces
For Hot, Dry Summer
Adding to the problem are the
trees killed by the Douglas-fir
tussock moth in northeastern
Oregon and southeastern Wash
ington The ground under these
trees is Uttered with tinder dry
needles that ignite easily, where
fire would spread rapidly.
To prepare for what may well
be a busy fire season, privately-
owned aerial tanker planes have
ben put under contract earlier
than usual. The aerial tanker
fleet throughout the region has
been increased both in number
of planes and gallonage capa
bility. Some of the smaller
planes are being replaced with
larger ones capable of carrying
larger loads of fire retardant.
An objective is to increase the
number of helicopters under
contract to about 35, including
some medium^sized turbine mo
dels. These larger airships are
capable of carrying fire sup
pression crews more rapidly,
saving precious minutes from
the time a fire is reported until
the initial attack on it. T ra
ditionally, most organized sup
pression crews have depended
on ground transportation, often
taking several hours to reach a
fire.
Along with the greater mobil
ity afforded by helicopters, two
12-man crews will try out a new
procedure this year on an ex
perimental basis. Called “heli
copter rappelling,” the men will
descend to the ground on nylon
lines as the helicopter hovers
overhead. Officials cautiously
hope that use of aerial trans
portation and this new method
will prove to bring a greater
speed and flexibility to the use of
fire fighters.
Campers and other recrea
tionists are
vised that some
areas may be closed to public
entry because of the drought
conditions and dry fuels present
in the forests.
Because of the severity of the
fire seasons in 1967 and 1970,
guarded roadblocks were put up
leading into the wooded areas
Planes were used to spot hikers
and backcountry campers who
were advised by leaflets to leave
the area. Even campgrounds
were closed in north-central
Washington.
This year, areas of particular
hazard will be controlled by local
Forest Supervisors. The restric
tions may be on open fires only,
but they may also be for closure
to public entry.
Campfire permits will not be
required, but recreationists are
advised that it would be well to
find out if there are any restric
tions in the areas they are plan
ning to visit.

Although rains have fallen re
cently on the west side of the
Cascade mountains, the U.S.
Forest Service
warns
that
drought conditions still exist in
central and eastern Washington
and Oregon. Unless the weather
pattern that started last winter
changes, this could become one
of the worst fire seasons for
many years, according to the
Forest Service.
Several things make this one
of the worst early fire seasons in
history. Winter kill of brush,
trees killed by the Douglas-fir
tussock moth, the severity of the
drought, a lack of snowpack, the
early snowpack runoff, and the
hot dry weather expected ahead
all contribute to the seriousness.
People using the forest should
be aware that this is not a
normal year, and man-caused
fires have already reached near
ly 1 3 of the total for an average
year, with the heavy recreation
months still to come.
The weather leading up to the
serious fire hazard started last
December when record-break
ing low temperatures plagued
Oregon and Washington. Below
freezing temperatures were re
corded for 10 to 14 consecutive
days in the Northwest, killing
thousands of acres of trees and
brush.
During late winter and early
spring, precipitation was very
low, with snowpack at only 40
percent to 70 percent of normal.
The trend of little or no rain
continued into April and May,
with recorded precipitation in
the eastern regions at only 10 to
30 percent of normal.
As defined by the “Palm er”
scale used by the National Wea
ther Service, central Washington
and Oregon areas are now in an
extreme drought. This condition
is normal for summer, but lack
of precipitation has brought the
condition on at least a month
early.
Because of the drought, the
brush killed by the sub-zero
temperatures of last December
is very dry. Among these is the
prolific CeñiióíiiüS, with bfúwTi
leaves that are dry, but have not
fallen off.
“The best years of a man’s life
are when the kids are old enough
to help shovel snow but too young
to drive the car.”

Paced by the big hitting Borst
brothers, the Vernonia Men’s
Club overpowered the men from
Gearhart Sunday and walked off
with a 30 to 15 victory in the first
home-and-home match with that
group
leading the charge for the
locals was the brother combi
nation of Jack and Larry Borst.
Jack put together a first round 38
and a second round 39 to take low
gross honors with a 77, closely
followed by Larry with a 78.
As if winning low gross wasn’t
enough. Jack also took KP
honors for number 14. Not to be
outdone, brother Larry drilled in
the longest putt on number five
and took that prize.
To complete the sweep Jack
and Larry finished one and two
in the low net category. How
ever, they unselfishly let the
next two in line, Dick Aldrich
and Willard Rohrbach, take
home the prizes for that cate
gory. Slamming Sam Beardsley
won the prize for the longest
drive on number seven.
Low gross winners for Gear
hart were Larry Johnson with an
82 and Loyd Johnson with an 84.
Bob Billings and Bill Elder
finished first and second in the
low net department.Larry John
son took KP honors on the fourth
hole, Dick Gustafson slammed
out the long drive on number
eight and Cliff Johnson plunked
in the long putt on number seven.
The final match between the
two clubs is scheduled for Sep
tember 23 in Gearhart.
At the June 26 Men’s Night,
Les Forcier, a newcomer to the
game of golf, had the winning
hand in poker golf. Jack Wend-
ling won the prize for making the
long putt on the difficult third
green and Gary Dinger’s lofty
nine iron shot won him KP
honors on number four.
The first half in the Rainier
Clatskanie Twi-Light
League
concluded last month. The Bird
Brains easily outclassed the field
to coast in as the American
League champions by a whop
ping 36 stroke margin.
In the National League the
Equalizers barely hung on to
outlast the Lucky Laggers by a
slim two strokes. The Long Shots
shot the best round of the week, a
135, to finish with a rush only
three strokes back
