Being Done in the Quetico

structed for getting out the logs to
be torn out or blown out as soon as
they have served their purpose. This
is to prevent killing of shoreline tim
Der by long maintained artificial
water levels.
6. Logging camps TO be RACED or
burned on completion of logging oper-
ationS.
While many viii regret that any
timber had to be cut in the glorious
Quetico and had hoped that it might
not be disturbed at all by logging, the
recent agreement on management
policies is a noteworthy achievement
in good land management which will
preserve nearly intact the best features
of the Quetico which have made such
strong appeal to those who desire to
get away from the usual mechanical
developed vacation environment, paddle
their own canoe, and put up their own
little tent in natural wilderness en-
vironment. We are deeply grateful for
the friendly cooperation of our good
neighbors in Ontario which made the
determination of such policy of
management possible. With strict adj
hererce to the regulations determined
upon, the effect of logging back Of
the shoreline protected area should
not even be visible throughout much
Of the canoe route mileage.
Again the Izaak Walton League of
America and the Quetico- Superior
Council have successfully averted an
other and most serious threat to one
of the finest areas of the boundary
waters canoe country.

SELECTEES CAN
TRANSFER AUTOS.

Selective service inductees who
own 1912 model cars will be permitted
to transfer the title of such vehicles,
Col. j. E. Nelson, State Director of
Selective Service, says. Such a trans
fer of title is permitted in an amended
regulation issued by the Office of Price
Administration.
Regulations issued January 80 by the
OPM prohibit, except under certain
conditions, any 1912 cars. However. it
was stated, this ruling was found to
be the cause of undue hardship on
regiStrantS who were indicted into
military service and who wanted to
transfer the title to their cars.
AS result, the OPA issued regula-
tons permitting any person who is
serving" or called for active duty
with, or who has received an order
for induction or has volunteered and
taken an Oath of Service for" any
branch of the Armed Forces, to trans
fer title to his car.
Procedure as outlined by the OPA
requires the registrant to apply to the
properd radoning board for certi-
ficate permitting the transfer of an
automobile.

From the January edition of "Out-
door America" we take the following
relating to the logging now being
done in the Crooked Lake area. The
magazine said:
Following the conference OF the
Executive Secretary Of the LEAK Wal
ton League of America with Deputy
Minister of Lands and Forests at Tor
onto on November Is, as covered in
the December issue of outdoor America,
a committee consisting of Jay II.
Price. Regional Forester, Milwaukee,
wisconsin; and William zimmerman,
Assistant Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, washington, D. c., both men,
bers of the Presidents Quetico-Super-
ior Committee; Sig Olson, member OF
the Quetico- Superior Council, and
Kenneth A. Reid, Executive Secretary
of the Izaak Walton League OF Amer
cia, met again on January with the
Minister of Lands and Forests and
other Ontario officials, to map out and
agree upon a management program for
Quetico Provincial Park. With N. o.
Hipel, Minister Of Lands and Forests;
Frank R. MacDougal, Deputy Minister;
E. j. Savitz, Provincial Forester; w.
D. Cram, Regional Forester; and Pro-
fessor ]. D. Detwiler, University of
Western Ontario, representing the
Canadians, it was indeed an interna-
tional good will conference
After discussing the problems pre-
sented by the logging operations Of
the Matthew Lumber Company in the
Quetico Provincial Park, which started
last fall, the conference agreed on
management policies essentially the
same as those determined by the Ship
stead-Nolan area in the Superior
National Forest on this side of the
boundary. The high points of the
management policy agreed upon which
will be good news to tousands OF
Americans who love the Quetico, are
as follows:
/. Shoreline protection for the in
ternational boundary waters 800 feet
2. Shoreline protection for inland
lakes and waterways varying from SOC
to $50 feet, but in all but few small
lakes from 200 to 300 feet.
g. No cutting within 200 feet OF
the portages.
4. Selective logging back of these
protective strips with minimum size

OLD TAX RECEIPTS.

Mora-Guy Cole has series of tax
receipts on the old homestead in Iowa
which he exhibited a few days ago.
Guy takes an unusual interest in old
things and has quite a collection in
his home. Interesting is the fact the
tax on the 320-acre farm for 1856 was
$5.17. Two years later it increased to
$1216. During the years 1866 and
g. special relief tax was included.
BY 1880 the taxes on the farm had
increased to $63.66. The taxes for the
year 1941 was $4,000.

MILK SAVES CAR ON FIRE.

Glenwood- Kvitek, a dairy
man, saved a car with quick thinking.
There was a collision. Mr.. Kvitek saw
it an after he had helped one man
who was injured had him started for
the hospital he noticed one of the
cars started burning. Having nothing
better available to extinguish the fire
with, Mr.. Kvitek went to his milk
wagon and poured quart Of milk on
the fire to put it out. A short time
later the fire started again and it
took another quart of milk to ex-
tinguish it. All that Mr.. Kvitek is
looking for now is someone to pay him
for the milk.

IS THIS WEEK FOR VICTORY
NO TIRES ACROSS BORDER.

The Office of Price Administration
makes it clear that American citizens
get around the tire rationing plan by
going to Canada or Mexica to bring
new tires or tubes into this country
either for their own cars or for resale.
Some American automobile owners
have thought of crossing into our
neighborS' countries, getting new tires
mounted on their cars and returning
to the United States. Both Canada and
Mexico have put strict restrictions on
tire exports.
The only way an automobile owner
can get tire or tube across the border
is to get authority from his local "a
tioning board for a purchase certifi-
ate to cover whatever he proposes to
bring into this country. If granted By
the board, the certificate has to be
forwarded to the Office of Price Ad-
minlstrator along with a request for
permission to buy the new tires and
tubes specified.
Tire dealers who get authority TO
buy in Canada or Mexico must agree
to abide by OPA rationing regulations
before the purchases can be made.
SOLDIERS FEET GROW.
When Johnny comes marching home,
his feet will be bigger than when he

on the men who are defending this
country. One army cook likes his own
products so well he already has gained
so pounds.

AUTO GRAVES.

Those automobile junk yards from
which have come many a disable gen.
eartor, set of springs, wheels and many
other gadgets are going to be cleaned
out pretty soon. Uncle Sam wants the
scrap iron and steel that's in them
for production of war materials. He
hopes to pick up all the iron and steel
in some 100000 old cars that have
been relegated to the junk yards, and
looks confidently 20 the salvaging of
some 100000 tons of scrap. That
scrap win be mighty welcome since
from ton of it and twice as much iron
ore can be made three tons of steel
Because of the pressing need for this
scrap, the government has enlisted the
aid of the steel industry so that every
available piece can be picked up and
used. Fair prices win be paid, but
your Uncle Sam is going to find out
why if the prices are rejected by the
graveyard operators. The whole job
is to be completed in 80 days.
