Other Industries

OthNA AAAActAlGo
Getting away from the purely ag-
ricultural angle, it was brought
out that the forests here provide
possibilities for additional indus
tries, especially of a smaller ma
ture Mr.. Ahlskog called attention
to the growing use Of lodgepole pine
for posts and poles These when
properly treated are far superior
to cedar, he stated A treated lodge
pole post or pole will last about rs
years, while those of cedar have
life Of only from eight to 10 years.
There is rapidly growing de-
mand for these products, Mr.. Ahls-
kog stated. He told Of having visited
plant at Thompson Falls that had
recently been established there by
man from the East. The plant
peels and treats lodgepoles and the
proprietor said he had a greater
demand than he could supply. Other
small industries that might be es-
tablished here and taking their raw
materials from the forests would
be spool manufacturing plants,
toys, barrels, ETC., said Ahlskog. A
toy manufacturing plant is in OPP
Grafton at Newport Wash, and is
doing a big business. stated Mr..
Ahlskog.
Planning Needed
Hugh Slauson urged the need
for concerted planning and actions
to further develop our farms and
to bring in new industries so as to
provide more jobs for our return
ing soldiers and thereby keep them
from moving away to where they
think opportunities may be greater.
At the conclusion of the discus
sion it was conceded that the time
is ripe for the formation Of gen.
eral, COMMUNICATIVE committee to
explore all these possibilities and
assist in their wider development.
1t was suggested this might be ac-
complished by committee COM
posed Of members from the Libby
Chamber of Commerce, the local
Grange organizations, the Lions
club, the labor unions and other
civic organizations. 1t was the
thought that there is a real i'm
mediate need for such activities.
