DESTROYING PLEASURE

Ocean bathers along the New Jersey coast crawl sputter-
.ingly out of the salt water, covered with a film Of oil.
Some have to take gasoline baths. The grease is refuse from
oil-burning steamers.
In principle, this gives you a very clear picture of the
whole system of civilization, from forest destruction up.
Resigned as most of us are to industrys destruction OF
natural beauties and most Of the things that make life really
worth living, it is rather a surprise to learn that the ocean Il
next on the doom list of efficiency"
The Department Of State will call an international con
ference to make the ocean safe for democracy. But oil is the
future marine fuel, as surely as wind and sail were before the
age of steam, and the department has cut out a real JOB 1or
itself.
Economists now are coming out with the rather startling
suggestion that man has become the slave OF coal and steel.
With steel and coal as the basis, we are steadily building
up a system that is not much different from a penltentlary
where the convicts are "trusties," allowed to roam OUTSIDE a
few hours a day. The cells in which we work are comfortable
but not any more so, to some OF us. than they are uncom-
Portable.
Are we being mastered by the raw materials that promised
to deliver us from human slavery? It's worth thinking about.
Each wear the crop of cynlcs is larger-people VINO say
Sometimes it seems that life is hardly worth the living
The majority of us are developing a complex against the
age of machinery. More and more people talk about NOV
ing back to the country. Not many are going but they are at
least thinking about it and that shows a definite trend. A
subconscious spark of resentment IS being nursed into wnat
might easily become a destructive flame.
You see this reaction in the glee with which city folks rush
to the woods with a shout when they get vacatons-tne u
loughs from civilization Jail.
History moves in 500 year cycles. We are living IN the one
that began with the discovery Of America in l492. 1t burns
hotly as it nears it's finish, with efficiency experts making
life more and more mechanical and j~ailike, destroying ma
lures beauty and most Of the fine things OF life.
The really high standard of living INVOLVES something
q than the production of a food of Fundamentally useless
commodites-with human freedom as its price.

FORESTER HoUGH

Among the centenary dates of this year is one which al
most escapes notice. That is the one hundrdth anniversary
Of the birth of Franklin B. Hough. He was born July ~,
1922, at Martinsburgh, Lewis county, N. Y.
And who was this Hough? asks a chorus of readers.
He was one of the first men who saw the approaching doom
of American forests if they were left to the ruthless destruc-
ton of a short sighted nation. He was the man who, after
many years of struggle, got the United States government to
start its forestry bureau.
Back in 1855 there was only a vague foreshadowing of
the wood shortage which now faces the nation. Fires and
wasteful numbering operations meant little in the lives of the
citizens then because the timber supply still seemed prac-
|tically inexhaustible.
When Hough finally got his big idea across Congress
appropriated the sum of So, 1000 for the first years work of
the forestry bureau. This year that sum would not even pay
the annual postage of the American Forestry Association.
The nation still has no national forest policy, but senti-
ment in favor Of one is growing rapidly. Individual states,
and even counties and municipalities have taken up the work
and are starting public forests. The work of one man some
10 years ago will undoubtedly bear fruit in saving the nation
from the treeless state he foresaw.
