Conference
LOSANGELES---Firmer
methods to eliminate the
sale of land or subdivision
lots by fraudulent and misleading advertising both in
and out of the state was the
subject of a statewide conference of the California
Real Estate Association held
Sept. 27 at the Los Angeles
Ambassador Hotel, ‘it was
announced by Charles H.
Brown of Pasadena, president
of the 38,000-member association of Realtors and real
estate salesmen representing
171 real estate boards in the
state,
"Realtors have been alarmed at the number of out-ofstate land promoters who are
attempting tosell lots of
questionable value located
in remote areas to California
investors through misleading
advertising, " Brown stated,
To investigate thoroughly
before purchasing real estate
has always been CREA's advice to the public, Brown

WHITE#CLOUD ---The men
of the U.S. Forestry "helitack” crews are the glamour
boys of fire fighting, the men
who go in by helicopter for
the initial attack on fires.
Such a man isJerry Wasley
of Grass Valley, a sophomore
forestry major at Sierra College and a man who hopes
to make the U.S, Forestry
service his career, The son
of Mr. and Mrs, George
Wasley of Grass Valley, Jerry
has served six seasons with
the forestry men, the last two
at White Cloud station in
Tahoe forest, where he currently is a “helitack" foreman,
Three years with the helicopters fighting fire has convinced Wasley that they are
inva luable in preventative
fire fighting, known as presuppression. The largest fire
on the west side of Tahoe has’
been 12 acres this season,
with Wasley definitely crediting the control difference
to ‘copters. The "helitack"
crews have made 35 attacks
on small fires--mostly lightFROM

ning strikes--this season,
with many fires within 15
minutes by air of White
Cloud.
Two-man crews are cartied from White Cloud by
Pilot Bob Hine of Sunnyvale
in the Bell G3-B ‘copter to
as Close to fires as possible.
With Wasley are one of a
crew of three, either Russ
Murray of Daly City of Terry
Marlo or Cart Bader of Grass
Valley, Both of the initial
attack crew are equi pped
with smoke chaser kits which
include tools, water, food,
safety equipment and chain
. Saw equipment, all of which
weighs about 150 pounds,
, Usually the ‘copter lands
as near the fire as possible,
but if schrub brush is too
thick, the fire fighters may
have to jump from a hovering helicopter to the ground
from a height of nomore
than 10 feet, Each crew man
is dressed in jump suit, heavy
boots and helmets.
According to Wasley, the
only injuries received by
fire fighters using the technique developed by Camp
Pendleton Marines eight
years ago has been a pair of
broken thumbs,
“Helicopters are safer than
planes or cars," he insists,
Fellow crewmen report little
fear of thecrafts, despite the
“open” feeling one gets sitting in the plastic "bubble"
cockpit. The most exciting
feeling in a ‘copter, Wasley
explains, is that of free fall
when the copter drops into
canyons or from heights in

‘Helitack’ Crews Bring
Glamour To Forest Fires
order to build up air speed.
The Forestry service leases
‘copters and pilots. Those at
White Cloud are from Rick
Helicopters of San Francisco,
Because of the speed required in getting to small
fires, most helitack crewmen
are young, like Wasley ‘<
Murray, Marlo and Bader.
Marlo, like Wasley, will be
a forestry student under exranger Ed Bailey at Sierra
College this year. Murray
will study at the University
of Oregon. Incidentally, ten
of Bailey's forestry students
were with state or federal
forestry agencies this summer in Nevada, El Dorado or
Placer counties,
Helitack crews and copters
also are well known in the
state fortheir rescue work in
bringing out injured hunters
and woodsmen.
NEVADA CITY ---Scientists
from the U.S. Forest Service
Experiment Station in Berkeley are teaming up with
fire control specialists of the
Tahoe National Forest totake
the pulse of a series of test
fires on the Truckee Ranger
District.
Equipped with a wide array
of newly designed electronic
equipment, they hope to
measure for the first time just
what conditions prevail when
a forest fire burns during
dangerous fire weather,
"Because of the importance
of this research to forest protection in California, the
test fires are being conducted
although a ban on burning
permits will continue in effect on the Tahoe Forest, "
Supervisor Henry Branagh,
announced, "All test fires
will be within the area previously burned over by the
Donner Ridge fire of 1960,"
Clive M. Countryman,
senior scientist in charge of
fire behavior studies at the
Experiment Station, isin
charge of the experimental
work, Scientists fromthe Engineering Department of the
University of California at
Los Angeles are working with
Forest Service scientists in
measuring results of the test
fires,
Countryman was recently
named as the head of the new
forest fire laboratory now under construction at Riverside,
He explained that the test
fires on the Truckee District
are part of the laboratory's
plans to conduct field studies
in several California forest
areas, Their aim is to bring
a greater degree of precision
to predictions of fire behavior, “Most such information",
SACRAMENTO: 4777 AUBURN BtVD
he said, “is how based on
limited knowledge of actual
conditions, or on studies dur
ing “safe” burning conditions,
In the Tahoe tests forests
scientists will measure the
rate of fire buildup in rela.tion to wind, temperature,
humidity and fuel characteristics, They will also gather
data on in-drafts of air around
the fire. perimeter and the
output of noxious gasses from
the fire,
"The development of compact space-age instruments
has made it possible to
measure such factors with
much greater precision than
has been possible in the past",
Countryman said. “Data
gathered in test fires such as
these will eventually give
fire specialists more accurate means of predicting fire
weather danger, rate of
spread, and other conditions
affecting the effectiveness
and safety of firefighters”.
If the right weather conditions prevail, the first fire
in the experimental series
will be staged next week.
T his is to be a small-scale
fire in which instrumentation
and study methods will be
thoroughly checked out,
Subsequent fires in the study
program willbe of gradually
increasing size,
All possible means are being taken to insure that the
test fires will not escape.
There will be a helicopter
in the air and air tankers will
be loaded and ready to take
off at a moment's notice,
The 32-man Hobart Mills
Suppression crew and three
ground tankers will be on
standby in the area,
