Oct. 25.-One of the great tasks Of re-
construction in Great Britain will be
forestry, according to American for
esters who have been at work in lum-
Der camps in England and Scotland
for the last year. The American lum-
Der jacks are now being assisted by
attachments OF young women, who
use heavy two-handed saws and who
clear away all the brushwood.
The demonstration program in the
British isles, American experts say,
should be mapped out with particular
regard to making Great Britain self
supporting in regard to timber for
alrcraft requirements, and large areas
should be planted with trees suitable
for airplanes.
