According to a report by C. W. Fairbank, deputy state forester, California State Division of Forestry, 39,837 acres in the north Coast counties burned during 1959, requiring 250,000 man-hours of labor for suppression. He complimented the RRCC and timber operators for their coopera- tion and prevention efforts, stressing that extreme fire weather had great bearing on the increase in acreage burned over the past three year's averages.

George Ramstad, fire control officer, Six Rivers National Forest, U. S. Forest Service, indicated an increase irr fires on national forest lands in Humboldt, Del Norte, and Meuclocino counties. Incendiary fires were a major cause for the increase, he noted, adding that the disastrous Mine fire near Orleans in Humboldt county accounted for much of the total acreage burned.

Douglas F. Roy and Craig' C. Chandler, both of the Pacific Southwest Forest ancl Range Experiment Station, Berkeley, outlined a proposed study of logging slash, to be cor.rductecl by the station and of which they will be project leaders. Roy pointecl out that slash, as a disadvantage, increases fire hazard, interferes with multiple use of land after logging ancl rnakes replanting difficult. On the other hand, slash protects the land fror.n erosion, lowers soil temperatures and helps protect tree seedlings front sun and damage by animal grazing. The proposed research is aimecl at finding what treatment of slash u'ill proclucc thc most favorable balance between advantages and disa<lvarrtages and still be economical for the loggirrg operator.

I think some other things wel1t on but tl-ris reporter became slightly ( ?) over-stimulated in the rareified Nlenlo Park altitude as a result of l.ris extremely poor golf game ar-rcl trying to collect and count the money in his condition. So possibly some other business went over his head. There \\'as son.rething about Tom Jacobsen-a hole-in-one or sor.nething-but I was out of the room at the time. You can call Paul.
