There ought to be way for repre-
sentatives of every community to
meet at a common center, discuss COM
mon interests, unite in a common pur-
pose and encourage and instruct our
Senator and Delegates as to our most
needed legislation. If our commun-
tiles unite socially and be the means
to stimulate public sentiment they can
create their own policy and program
of conservation and reclamation. This
is by far the most important work
that lies ahead. And it not only ap-
plies to US, but to the whole world
where the forces of destruction have
been unleashed too long. The whole
world needs to be reclaimed. Certainly
Garrett county should commence lay
ing foundations for the future.
This might sound a very severe and
impracticable kind of legislation, but
for one who has seen our noble forests
die, believe we should enforce with
law and heavy penalties for infringe
ment, making it unlawful to cut a
tree of any kind for the next twenty
five years. That through the COM
munities measures should be taken to
acquire the major portion Of our for
ests under dominant control of the
county thru community representa-
ton; and thirdly, during the next
twenty-five years of grace for our for
ests, reclaim those destroyed by clear
ance and replanting,
This is a stupendous task. But this
is the task of modern Garrett county
pioneers. Only the Good Neighbor
policy applied in local terms can bring
such a dream into realization. Let US
quit thinking in world-terms. The
world wants US to be interested in
big and universal things, We need to
be interested. But let US couple our
farsightedness with nearsightedness
and take care of our own environ
ment.
