INS AND OUTS

Francis tV. Woods of Engineering has returned from San Frnncisco tdier~ he spent lsst week in the 3egionnl office of' Region 5 in connection with telephone comr~unicationplans. Mr. moods states that since 1933, aegion 5 has mde intensive ccifiimr~icntionplins.' These plails consist of detailed specifications for each Forest, the result boing that their cornrmnication on Forests where these $ails have been coqleted is up to a high standard. He was impressed with the method of construction which is such that iminten- ance costs over the next .decade will be very low. ;egis-* 5 has been looking forwar& to the tixe when they will have less rmney than tiley nor have and have endeavored to bring. the telephones to this high standard in order to eliminate imintenance costs as far ;LS possible and still have gosd corm~~i- cation during the next ten or more years.

Kenneth Peccse of the Intermountain Forest hnge Xxperiaent Station, who spent last week at the Boise Basin 3rnnch Srcperinent St2tion nex Idaho City, has the following story to tell:

The vreather observer, Reuben Caqbell, living on Bannock Craek, g i~iles out of 1da'do City, mzde n. ,ski t.rip to Idaho City lomtmeek. Abmt five head of decr had been wintering along the trail. As he rounded a curve he suddenly car.le upon me of the decr standiilg so deep in the snow that be could ngt !:love fast enough to g;i:et out of the way. The ski runner, ,tdcon unawara and not knouing his flChristie" turns, plunged into the dser at a. speed of 40 miles per hour. Tor n few inoments all wcs confusion. The tw3 were so e~tangledthat it was difficult to get loose. Ma one as injured. Mr. Caqbell thought the deer looked so:nswht disgusterl, but not very frightened. No doubt both received an unexpected thrill.

Ur. Pearse cad otllqrs made careful observati3ns d.urir.g the balance of the week to locate tho deer, but they ware never secn LL~TL~~and imst have left the c~wt~y,apparently in saprch of safer regions or ,:here travelers in the snovr country have learn6d. tneir "Telarr,zrks".

"Since the sunrner of 1933 a t-otal of 3,125 gm2a crossii:gs have beon constructed or are scheduled for imedj-ate coiistruction with Federal funds ~di~~inistereclby the Bureau of Public 26ids. In addition standard protection signals have been or will be installed ,zt 1,872 crossings.

"This c~i~~bioinedeliiiliilation md protection pr3gram totals 4,997 rail- road crossings and d~esnot inclucle an nd2ition31 nunber from xhich travel has been renoved by relocating highways. Construction costs, in large measure, have been paid ivith Federal fw43.ids, but the States an! milroads have provided the rishts-of-way and paid other incidental costs. ( over) , ttE3ureau traffic experts say these iii~pproverL~ent~afford daily protection from the hazards of crossings t'o several ni.llions of people." --U.S.D.A.Clip Sheet - 2-28-37..

RESPONSIBILITIES OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES

"The 'government clerk1 of n century ago is as extinct as tho dodo.. True, he has a few lineal descendants in certain agencies, but even they ' bear little resemblance to their progenitor. Upon the pblic employee of today responsibilities rest which were utterly undreamed of n century ago -- even a generation ago. Governrnent tod.3~runs the whole gamut of human enterprise.

"These responsibilities range all the way frm organized fire fight- ing to the analysis of the vitamin content of foods; fro21 the impounding of ~;iotoryehicles to the loaning of Federal funcls to home owners. They in- clude, ~1~1011~;many other vital duties, the protection of our vast national forest preserves; the collacticln and dissei~inationof n wide variety of infornation of great value to eCucntors; the care of liw~i;.eds of thousands of veterans; the protection 3f huwi lives md property at sea; and the inspection of foodstuffs for the protection of millions of consumers. These are but a few of the functions of the present-day pxblic employee, but even this hasty sumraary serves to indicate the extrene catholicity of his responsibilities ." --Luther C. Steward

LOSES CALVES

Francis Si~rpsonof Turnervilla, Wyoiiling, had kept 11 choice calves of about 10 nonths of age in a warn bnrn since fall. On an extremely csld day recently he turned them out to water. Upon their return they stood by the barn chilled, with the result that the entire 11 head Ciec?. Some calves which had remained contiiiumsly outside and had not been given so much care and feed are wintering through in good shape. Mr. Simpson has resolved that it does not pay to give so much care to young stock. --Wyoming Wizard , 2-23-37.
