1 LARGE NUMBER OF
 PEOPLE SETTLING
 CALIFORNIA FORESTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A larg CT number of people than ever before visited the national Forests of Cali fornia this summer according 10 Lu- ther Whiteman of the Forest Service.
 It is estimated that at least mil. lion travellers, campers and sports men visited the National Forests in California for recreation purposes this season--the greatest number yist- ing the Forests of this state in tho his tory of the Forest Service. The au- tomobile traffic was particularly heavy.
 The increased popularity of the Ma tional Forests for recreation purposes was credited in part by MT. White man to the advertising of the wonders aud beauties of California's noun rains by the Forest Service, and to the distribution Of thousands of maps, posters and hand-books informing the public just where to go and what to see. The construction and improve ment of roads and trails and the ex- cellence of fishing and hunting con- ditions in most of the Forests, due largely to the protection given the game by the Forest rangers, is also responsible for large number of vis- itorS, it was said.
 The opportunities to acquire without red tape and at low cost long term leases of land in the Forests upon which summer homes and permanent camps may be constructed also have served to bring many people into the mountains who would not otherwise come.
 In the Angeles National Forest alone more than 700 permits have been issued for summer home and permanent camp purposes. Lots that have been surveyed by the Forest Service on the shoes of Huntington Lake, Lake Tahoe, and along the Featherh River Canyon are also in great demand The renting of larger tracts by churches, clubs, schools and municipalities for Recreation uses is also becoming popular in California. The playground commissions of three cities have this project under consid- eration
