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. ■ Í 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.” MARR & STAFFORD MEAT CO.

Oregon by John Knowlton 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 Junior Men’s Club play con­ tinues every Wednesday at 6 p.m. The recently elected offi­ cers are Dick Brunsman, pres­ ident; Bruce King, vice-presi­ dent; Robbie Hanson, secre­ tary-treasurer; and Randy Ro­ berts. handicap chairman.
