Germany were broken off last fall

Swedens Industrial output. The

Reducing Waste

By utilizing forest growth unsuitable for lumber
well considerable amount of wood materials which had
hitherto gone to development of the pulp and pa
per industry in the Puget Sound in the last two
decades has added greatly to the wealth of the region
Now after many months of research Dr.. Bror L. Gron
da professor of forestry at the University of Washing
ton together with Henry w. Berger chemist who work
ed under his direction has developed for further
utilization of waste this time sulfte liquor which left
after pulp processing This has not only been waste but
its disposal has been troublesome problem because when
it is dumped into Sound waters it results in pollution de-
structve to fish and other marine life.
Of the process Mr.. Berger says
Every ton of pulp will produce about Is pounds of buyl
alcohol about half that amount of aceone, and gallon
and half of ethyl alcohol In addition there is fuel
precipate which will furnish about rs per cent of the
heat required to produce the pulp Nothing whatever will
be left except pure water.
Scandnavians who have done much of the work and
contributed greatly to the business end of developing
the great forest industries of the Northwest will be glad
to learn that another step has been made in the elmina
ton of wasefuness which for long attended lumber
ing; and they will feel special of pride that
of their race has had important part in making the
step possible.

it's a boom period; if it's not

Of steady leadership for our girls
Of more professional guidance.
In this postwar period ahead Of
us, children need leadership which
shows them their potential value
and Importance in a democracy. fun
that is not too costly-a leisure time
activity cut down TO kid size which
prepares them to be intelligent

Specifically, Wyandotte is des-
perately in need of Girl Scout Lead

this call.
