OFFICER URGES
CITY FOREST
Ellery A. Foster, Director of
Forestry, Proposes Forest
Planting by Cities.

The development of community
forests should play an important part
In a long time comprehensive forestry
program in Minnesota, says Ellery A.
Foster, director of the division of for
eStry.
Interest in community forests was
stimulated recently when r. A. Silcox,
chief of the U. S. forestry service, in a
radio talk, pointed out the many adj
vantages to a community through this
activity. AS a result of the talk, the
division of forestry has answered num-
erous requests for information.
There are two methods whereby Min
nesota communities may establish
forests. The law provides that NUM-
cipality or town may acquire land either
through purchase or donation and that
tax reverted lands may be developed
into county forests in cooperation with
the state.
The department of conservation feels
that the establishment of community
forests Is very desirable and will offer
every assistance, so far as it's resources
permit.
1t IS pointed out that community
forests are an old institution in
European countries and in many cases
the income from these forests pay a
large part of public services; such as,
schools, libraries, fire and police pro-
lection.
Such program could very well be
carried out in Minnesota communities
says Mr.. Foster. 1t would not only pro-
vide advantages in the future, but would
provide profitable work now and would
be of great educational value to a COM
munity.
A program of community forests and
woodlotS may be developed in either
natural forest areas or in communities
situated in the prairie sections of the
state
Full realization of the benefits of a
comprehensive program in Minnesota
will require the passage of the land
exchange amendment, this year number
one on the ballot, as well as the passage
of laws authorizing the forestry di-
vision to establish nurseries for the
propagation of hardwood trees.
Organizations or individuals interested
in the development of community
forests may write the division of forest
ry at ST. Paul and get full particulars
on suggested program for their sec
ton of the state

The Rev. Browne addressed the

and His Attitude" towards the Christian
faith in Germany. The address was in
structive and the Rev. Browne brought
out much to be commented on. He
deeply deplored the persecution to
which religion is subject at the hands
of the dictator across the Atlantic. The
religious attitude of Hitler was roundly
scored by the Rev. Browne in his talk
The "prevaricators club" got in its

DO Not Touch Lost FalUns'
Game Wardens Ask You.

The game wardens have issued an
appeal to everyone to leave fawns or
baby deer alone when found in the
woods. Do not touch them and above
all do not take them home.
They are not lost and have no fear
that the mother deer will be unable to
find them. The mother knows just
where to find her baby when she wants
it's.
The fawn is cute and easily tanned
and makes fine pet. However, they
grow up and return to the woods, only
to become easy prey for the hunter
on account of their tameness and their
trusting nature.

Review of the car accidents
in Minnesota in January and
February shows that 76 per-
sons were killed on the high
ways according to the state
highway division safety de-
partment, an increase of II
over the same months last
year. The review also shows
that 5 per cent of the drivers
involved in accidents were
women; 6 per cent of drivers
were under 20 years of age ;
80 per cent lived within 25
miles of the place of accident
40 per cent had over II years
of driving experience and 10
per cent had been drinking.
1t was also found that in
half the accidents one car was
on the wrong side of the road
and 55 per cent involved some
traffic violation. Defective
lights were four times as re-
sponsible for accidents as de-
fective brakes and the most
dangerous day of the week for
driving was Saturday. Most
accidents, the review states,
took place on straight-away,
level roads.
