OTTAWA FOREST UNIT CELEBRATES 5TH YEAR CLARE HENDEE OUTLINES WORK ACCOMPLISHED Federal Government Owns 244 Acres In Gogebic, Iron, And Ontonagon Counties Four years ago, January 21, 1935, the Gogebic unit of the Ottawa National Forest was established, and in observance of the anniversary a re view of Forest Service activities in the area has been compiled under the direction of Clare Hendee of Ironwood, Forest Supervisor.

Following is a summary of the highlights of the review: The number of man caused forest fires in the area has been reduced 60 per cent. Five hundred ninety one thousand, two hundred and forty-four acres of the Ottawa National Forest are in government ownership and 79,820 acres have been approved for purchase. 300 million board feet of saw timber and 150,000 cords of other pro; ducts are government owned. The Forest Service has built 420 miles of truck trails and 43 miles of fire breaks. Three airplane landing fields have been constructed by the Forest Service.

Trees have been planted on 38,000 acres of 198,000 acres in the forest area that appear will need to be planted. Timber stand improvement work has been done on 38,000 acres. Several recreation areas have been developed throughout the forest, including a large' organization camp that will be ready for this coming season. Several million fish have been planted and miles of streams improved. The original purchase unit of the Ottawa forest was established in 1929 and was added to from time to time.

On January 1, 1935, the Gogebic unit of 1,023.000 acres was added, br'nging the total gross area of the Ottawa National Forest to 1,744,000 acres. The administration of this national forest is dedicated to the establishment and maintenance of permanent in of major importance. Not all fires the are preventable. 2.4 fires per 100,000 forest resources, placing each acre of publicly owned land to its highest practical use at the lowest reasonable cost. To aid this objective, very diversilied work is carried on.

In order that people living within and adjacent to the Ottawa forest may know the facts, the following as of January 1, 1939 are given: First in priority of all national forest work is prevention and suppresxion of fires, tree and plant diseases, and insect infestation. For the period of 1932 to 1934, inclusive, there was an average of 11.9 forest fires per year on each 100,000 acres of the Ottawa fire protection area; 10.8 of these were man-caused. Through fire prevention during 1935 to 1937, inclusive, there were 5.3 fires per year for each 100,000 acres of protection area; 3.6 of these were man caused. The continued prevention of fires by all persons using the forest area is acres have occurred each year as a result of lightning. Land acquisition, second in priority of work in the Lake State Region of the U.

S. Forest Service, like all work, is dependent upon available appropriations. To date, 591,244 acres of the Ottawa forest are in government ownership and 79,820 acres have been approved for purchase by the National Forest Reseryation Commission and will pass into government ownership within the near future, Of the remaining acreage, 430,000 have been proposed for sale. The areas proposed for sale have all been appraised, and can be purchased as fast as appropriations for lend purchases are made available. Approximately 250,000 acres of this have been in the original Gogebic unit, and this acreage was sufficient to make it possible to have the entire area proclaimed the Ottawa national forest in January, 1937.

The forest now owns 300 million board feet of saw timber and 150,000 cords of pulp or other forest products. The above mentioned areas proposed for sale comprise thousands of acres of timberlands, or lands having desirable forest growth. Representative R. E.

It Paya: FANS PAY TRIBUTE TO COACH FRITZ CRISLER LEGION BANQUET DRAWS SIX HUNDRED LAST NITE Michigan's Famous Coach es Athletics As Builder Of Character A crowd of over six nundred range and outside residents attended the Fifth Annual Football banquet hold at tho Ironwood Memorial Building last night at which Coach Fritz O. Crisler of tho University of Michigan was the principal speaker. Coach Crisler praised the work of All-American Ralph Heikkinen, and gave much of the credit for his football prowess to Coach Robert Reihsen of the Bessemer High School under whom Heikkinen received the fundamentals of the game. He also stressed the fact that because Reihson received his training at Minnesota while he (Crisler) was coach here, the task of coaching Heikkinen and grooming him for his position was lessened to a considerable degree. Coach Crisler made it quite plain that the training received by the young man on the gridiron and during practice made a better man of the athlete who was able to meet difficulties with a greater determination and a will not to be defeated, than if such games were not a part of this country's educational plan.

He traced the rise and fall of Sparta, Greece, and Rome, who trained their youth to develop into a strong race by having athletic Olypians, Marathons, ums for games on a large scale, and when these countries allowed their games to decline, their power also declined. Bringing out by these descriptions the fact that the youth of the nation, if it is trained physically as well as mentally, tend to raise the nation above the other countries because of its better-developed man power. The University of Michigan mentor did not emphasize the fact of winning as the goal of each, contest, although that was uppermost in the minds of both player and coach, rather he said, ho determination to win is a decided asset in the battle of life when lems are encountered every day that must be met squarely and the individual must give everything he has surmount many unforscen obstacles. The reason he gave for Heikkinen's success was the fact that Michigan's great guard made regolve before every play to do his very best no matter how hard the going was. and never failed to carry out the resolve.

Sportsmanship in its true light was evidenced on the floor by Coach Chester Wiley of the Red Devils when lots were to be drawn to see whether Bessemer or Ironwood would have the trophy given by the Gogebic Range Michigan Alumni as both teams were tied for first place. in the Michigan- Wisconsin Football leugue. The team successful in drawing the lot was to have the trophy until yacation and then the other team' was to have it untli the next winner was to be decided. As Ironwood had the trophy last year, Coach Wiley on behall of the Ironwood squad declined to draw lots and presented the trophy to the Bessemer squad until the next winner would recelve the trophy, The school winning the trophy three years would receive the trophy as 3 permanent award. Motion pictures of the entire games between Michigan-Ohio State and Michigan-Minnesota were shown following the regular program.
