 Cut your Christmas trees proper ly for conservation is wise,' says the American Tree Association. This when done properly means a thinning which the forest needs. Properly gathered for the market these trees do not represent a drain upon our forest sources"
 The Nature Association agrees with Prof. Woodbridge Metcalf of the School of Forestry of the unl- yersity of California, who says:
 Because of the wastage and an exaggerated notion of the Influence of Christmas tree cutting on the fu- ture supplies of timber for the na- tion some we'll intentioned but mis- guided individuals have. in recent wears urged that the cutting Of Christmas trees be prohibited by .1w or at least drowned upon by forward looking citizens.
 The success of the movement TOT forest protection depends largely on the development of very Wlde- spread appreciation of the forest in the minds of the American people There is probably no better way oi insulting a love for trees in the hearts of the rising generation than the use of the little evergreen as the central figure of the Christmas Festival"
