Chief Topic

Men love trees. but they are
absurdly careless with fire. the
greatest destroyer of trees.
Roderic Olzendam OF Tacoma told
the Washington Forestry Confer
ence in Seattle Friday.
The speaker, director Of public
relations for the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Co, stressed more than
anything else the need OF forest
fire prevention In his report as

mittee on education and public
relations
The objective of all foresters
and OF all persons and groups in
terested in the forests of our
state" Olzendam said. rs to keep
Washington green by promoting
the raising Of trees continuously.
that the American people shall
have uninterrupted supplies of an
ever-increasing number of forest
products; that the men who con-
vert those trees into forest
products shall have continuous
and profitable employment; that
investors shall be able to put their
savings into the forest products
industry with some degree of GER
tainty that they will receive con-
tinuous and fair returns; that the
forest products industry shall al
ways be in a position where IT can
afford TO pay steadily it's fair
share OF the taxes necessary to
carry on the processes of demo-
cratic government. that there
shall be enough forested areas
wherein people may fish. and hunt,
and camp. and relax for the re-
vitalizing of their bodies and their
souls"
Other Tacomans on Olzendam's
committee were Norman C. Jacob
son. forester for the st. Paul Il
Tacoma Lumber Co. and w. II.
