FOREST SERVICE HAVING TROUBLE
 WITH SKI CABIN
Persons Leaving Place Dir. fy, Chopping Up Build
 ing for Firewood

Because of the lack of wood at the Upper Ski Shelter on the Doug las Island Ski Bowl, A. w. Black erby, Admiralty Division Supervisor Of the U. s. Forest Service, ex- pressed alarm today over the be- havior of some persons who have taken advantage of the free fac- ilities there recently
 He said that all of the wood carried up there last summer has been used, but that there is other wood which has been cut for use there which was not carried up.
 Blackerby reported that some visitors have torn down and used part of the shelter and part of the woodshed in an apparent lack of consideration for the comfort of others and without realizing the trouble it took to erect these fac ilities. He also saidthat nearby trees, which had appearance value, have also been cut down for fuel purposes.
 The Forest Service official out lined two suggestions for conduct of persons using the upper cabin. These suggestions conform with the old unwritten law of the out doors. They are:
 Parties going to the upper cabin, should leave early enough to carry a sufficient supply of wood be- fore dark for their own use.
 Each party should leave and dry nough wood for the next party to -al a iire.n
 n ~nuch, president of the Ju-
 ~ -k. Club, is arranging to dig
 .O wood which has already been ut and mark its location with a Jag. he will also leave direc-
 ms at the cabin for finding the wood which is kept only a few hun dred yards away.
 Blackerby also requested that the abin he left clean for the next eison. This includes the dish -s," he said. Last week, it took over two hours to get the dishes &ashed that had been left dirty oy the previous party. Remember all sportsmen leave a clean camp.
 ne pleaded that persons, using the cabin, follow these suggest sons to enable all persons to en- Joy the facilities provided and, at the same time, safeguard Forest Service property

ssFormer enlisted men," he said

This is truly a remarkable OPP

tinued. ''There is probably no field
today that holds more promise than

Mrs. Temple pointed out that this
increasing activity is significant
from two angles. First, it indicates
increased Withdrawals from the labor
force by 6~5-year-olds," she stated,
''but far more important, it indicates
that more and more local people are
waking up to their rights, responsible
lities and obligations under the pro-
gram. While many have not yet ex-
ercised their right to file claim, the
marked interest displayed in Green
wood and surrounding territory is
an excellent index of public inter-
est"
During the month of November,
claims for benefits filed at the local
office averaged in excess of Is a
week, besides hundreds of inquiries
from employers and the general pub
lie. "This awakening interest on the
part of employers is an excellent
sign since they too have a stake in
Social Security" she said. frequent
ly, our payments relieve an employer
of an obligation which he is UMPIRE
pared to assume in the cause of an
old and valued employee who has
been forced to retire because of age
or infirmity."
Mrs. Temple urged all individuals
who have worked or are working
under the Social Security Act to con-
tact her office promptly upon at
tanning age IS. Filing an application
insures the individual for any period
of unemployment, after age IS. Per-
manent retirement is not demanded
but no benefits are paid while in
covered employment.
Survivors of workers who have
died should also inquire Immediately

program. The local office is located
