forest commissioner, is sending out a
letter in his official capacity as presi-
dent of the Maine Forestry Associa-
ton to representative members in va
rious parts of the State asking for an
effort to increase the membership for
the first anniversary. Mr.. Ring wants
the Maine Forestry association to equal
in numbers the organizations in other

small area of forest, has very strong

of the association"
The officers of the association are
now considering plans for a general
meeting Of the members. Just when
and what form this Set-together will
take has not been decided but it is
purposed to have q program that will
attract statewide attention.
