(UPI) — There are 35 known deaths from the violent Mount St. Helens’ eruption and with hopes fading for 42 ‘others still listed as missing, ‘authorities - have halted further aerial searches. “To be realistic, there are no. more bodies being found,” said Lewis County Sheriff Bill Wiester at a news conference at search headquarters in Toledo, Wash., Thursday. ; ' “What we're worried about is having one of the choppers crash and kill four ‘or five people. It’s just not worth that risk. If there was any sign of life still up there, then they would land on the edge of the crater if they had’ to In 12 days of the ‘ helicopters’ crossing and recrossing of 600 square miles in 550 missions, crews rescued 197 people including one who later died of burns, recovered 21 bodies and pinpointed at least another dozen death sites where victims were presumed buried under volcanic ash * and mud. . In addition to the 22 vic- tims whose bodies have been’ recovered, at least 13 of the 55 still missing were con- firmed to have been in the blast area when the mountain erupted with the . force of anatomic bomb May 18. . Coroners were preparing to “issue ‘presumptive certificates of death” for. those who were missing and known ‘to have been in the area, Dr, D.F. Winebrenner, Cowlitz County coroner, said: “It will depend upon getting information that will put them on the mountain. Then we can go from there. We can issue a presumptive certificate of death.” Sheriff Les Nélson of - Cowlitz County said the missing list probably never will- be wiped clean, Any other bodies that are found will be “purely by accident,” he said. . But, he added, the search was only being suspended, not permanently abandoned. “Any new reports that come in will send us back in the An SR-71 “Blackbird” spy plane was sent Thursday to take high resolution pictures. 4 Overwaitea Stores in B.C. -‘have’a contest going for this Sunday that inyolves every Overwaitea outlet in the province, all the towns they are in and as many people in these towns as the Over- \waltea people can rustle up to walk, jog and run, . The idea behind the Particimotion contest is for each outlet to get as many people as they can organize -to either walk one mile, jog three miles or run six miles on Sunday in the home town. Dave Miller, assistant manager at Terrace’s Gverwaitea outlet, said that Terrace has a good chance of winning the prize that Overwaitea Stores have put: up: a new. 12-seat GM sportvan that can be used by, the winning community for ‘any purpose it sees fit. “Fort St. John and Cranbrook are really the places to beat in our category," Miller ‘said, “There are three categories, and three vans to be give away.” « " Miller said that large :. towns, mid-size towns and small towns all have a van to compete for, . “Terrace would never beat a place like Prince George,” he said, “hecause it's just so much bigger that we'd never win: But likewise, -we wouldn't compete . against Nakusp either, for the same reason on their part,” In Terrace, the Over- waitea store will be offering draw prizes as well, with frisbees, Adidas tote bags and one hundred fifty dollars worth of food vouchers, Miiler said that Terrace willbe competing for the van against 11 other towns, in- cluding Kitimat, Quesnel,’ Prince Rupert, 100 Mite House and other similar-size towns. , The idea is to get people -outdoing something for their bodies, somewhat along the ‘lines of the Terrace-Vernon Fitness Challenge, won by Terrace fast month. Gerry Dodd is district manager Gerry Dodd is the néw district manager of the Kalum forest district. - The ministry of forestry is. currently. undergoing a drastic reorganization to decentralize the ‘authority of managing the forests, range land and Crown resources. in B.C. The thrust of the change is to put decision ’ making into the hands of the particular forest region, said a spokesman for the department of - forestry. ; Dodd sees his job as mainly administrative. He'll be involved in planning and financing. Mel Brinnin and Herb Quast are the two operations superin- tendents under him. Quast is’an ex-ranger of Terrace. oe In the past there were about 100 different forest ranger districts and six forest districts. The districts are now. called - forest regions and ‘there are approximately 50. districts to a region, said a forestry spokesman. Dodd. will be reporting to the regional manager in Prince Rupert, J.A. Bickert. The new-office for the about halfway com pleted, said Dodd. He expects it to be completed by the beginning of September. The new system offers more specialists, sald Dodd. Decision making will be done in the field . and based’ on the present circumstances, rather than on board ‘based decisions that were not Kalum forest district is. always applicable to the area, * Dodd said the Stewart, Kitimat and Terrace ranger offices are still in operation to handle the daily business of the ministry. ; \ The local timber supply problem is being analyzed now, said Dodd, and will be one of the first problems he will look at. ‘He said the amount of timber cut may have to be reduced in the future - to minimize the fall down in timber. The fall down effect. basically means running out of wood, and there is no timber until new trees grow. The analysis’. is necessary for the district to understand where they are in terms of fall down, he. said, [t. may., be ‘complete in a year’s’ time, he estimated. The region is also working on an intensive silviculture program and juvenile spacing, he said. Silvieulture is the whole science of growing trees so they're ready to log and juvenile spacing is like gardening. The idea is to reduce the number of stem counts so the size of the trees that . are left can be regulated. ' PREVENT WILD FIRES! ———o The Overwaitea staff and ather people will be stationed at the halfway points along the routes to validate the entry form stubs that each person will carry with him after the start of the event. ‘These stubs haye the numbers for the draw which . - takes place after the walk, jog and run have been eompleted. . . ’ Entry forms can be picked up at the Overwaitea outlet in the Skeena Mall today and tomorrow, and at the star- ting line in the Skeena Mall on Sunday just before the start, which takes place at 1 p.m, Miller said that they would like to have the par- — ticipants organized and ready to go by 12:30, however. The routes will be ex- plained {to participants before they start. Miller said that anyone who goes the distance is ‘eligible for a prize, and is counted in the results for the van. . “A father can carry a child on his back, or a mother can push a baby in A carriage and they will count for two instead of justone, as long as ‘they go the whole way,” Miller said. .
