NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER CUT
REACHES ALL-TINE HIGH

Missoula Montana, Nov 9:-The
rate Of timber cut from the nation
al forests of the northern Rocky
Mountain region has reached an al
time high. Regional Forester +. u.
Hanson announced today. The cut
for the quarter July l to October
Of this year was 1875 million board
feet which is so percent greater
than for the same period in l945.
Sales doomed even more with 4
total of l8l million board feet sofa
in 1923 transactions.
Maximum efforts Of the Forest
Service have been directed toward
meeting the unprecedented demand
for national forest timber but the
output needs to be still further IN
creased if the growing demand IS to
be met Hanson explained. A sub
stantial increase is possible, he SAD,
by an aggressive expansion Of log
ging road construction into other
wise inaccessible back-cOuntry areas
and by providing enough fOresters
to handle the sales At present both
funds and personnel provided for
in this years budget are not SUI
ficient to handle the timber sale,
appraisals and sales administration
work required to keep pace with
the demand.
The road program has been ac-
celebrated by an allotment to the
region of nearly S3,000 900 from
the national housing administration
since most of the production from
the national forests is for saw
timber to be used in the housing
program. This added to the $1,000
900 regularly appropriated for for
est road construction, makes ap
proximately $5,000,000 available
The money is being used to con-
struct IS forest timber access roads.
Construction was started in July and
the last of the 80 projects will be
completed by next spring. With the
help of these roads it is hoped that
production for the fiscal year end
ing June June 30, 1947, can approach
400 million board feet, or five times
the annual average for the decade
preceding the war.
Hanson emphasized that further
increases can pc made without over
cutting the sustained yield limits
adding, In only a few spots are
we cutting all that the local nation
al forest resource will stand with
out depicting the growing stock
Elsewhere increased cutting i'm
proves the forest. The cutting is in
ripe or overmature timber which
should be harvested if it is to be
saved from decay or insect death
and converted to the urgent tim
Der needs of the Nation. Road de-
velopment must be supplemented

At Library Park
Weekend highIight

In the hands of the present youth
of the nation rests the answer to
whether or not America shall be
ruled by an organized minority,
Congressman Joseph E. Talbot de-
clared yesterday at father and son
communion breakfast at st. Francis
Xavier's church hall. The gathering
was held in observance of Scout
Sunday.
"The Communism of Russia is an
outstanding example of control by
minority" he said, Don't let
anyone fool you into thinking that
it is a government of and by the
people. The Communists In Russia
make up a very minute portion of
the Russian population. Yet they
control the lives of millions by alb
Solute dictation. Let us not allow
this to happen in America because
OF our own disinterest in our own
affairs or our disinclination to &C
cept our individual obligations in
the business of government"
I'm this very group of young
men," said the congressman, ".there
are those whose natural leadership
and ability should be channeled
into public service. America will
cry for the type of leadership you
will be qualified to offer, a leader
ship soundly imbued with the God
given fundamentals which you are
taught by the church"

peace within and without the ma
ton is that of sacrifice. So often
people connect sacrifice with war
and with war only. The great ma
jority of our fellow critizens take
1t for granted that in time of war
the government has a right, even
a duty, to call among all its citizens
for almost unlimited sacrifice. 1t
is expected that during a war we
shall have to give up some OF our
pleasures, few of our profits, many
of our personal privileges. Many
people make great sacrifices during
a war emergency and do it with
great good grace. But how swift
the reaction when peace comes!
Almost Immediately great hue and
cry goes up for concessions of all
sorts. The last thing that most peo-
pie think of in time of peace is sac
rif1ce. They pay little or no atten-
ton to drift toward war. They
let matters take their course but in
due course they help to pay the
piper.

Force No Solution
To Walker
Reconciliation Urged by Second Church
Pastor; Sacrifices in Postwar World
Advocated
Advocated

Foolish indeed is the man who
believes that force will solve our
problems, for force at best Is mega
tive" said Rev. DR.. John c. Walker,
Second Congregational Church pas
tor, yesterday morning In his SER
mon, your Problems and Mine"
DR.. Walker said in part:
1.-THE evidence accumulateS that
force never finally settled anything
even when 1t was on the right side.
OF course 1t seems to settle things
but that is only part Of the story.
Did the Civil War preserve the
Union? Yes and mol According to
the history books, yes, but in so far
as bitterness seethed beneath the
surface, so long as Northern troops
and carpetbaggers overran the
South, mol Only in the measure in
which the SouthernerS became rec
onciled to their fate, only in the
measure In which bitterness has
disappeared and reconciliation
taken place, has the United States
become united and free.
It Is the task Of the Christian to
lead men toward reconciliation, re-
Cancellation with God, reconciliation
with each other. The Indian Chris
uans have set US a noble example
In these days. For a generation
past there have been widening CULTS
in India. The Indians and the
British have been drifting farther
and farther apart, likewise the Hin
dus and the MoslemS. We cannot
say that there IS peace in India but
We can say that the Christians have
always thrown their influence on
the side Of peace. Well knowing
the tragedy Of conflict the Christian
community in India has urged mod
Grafton and concession Of all sides.
The Christian community has made
appeal after appeal for conferences
and concession. They realize that
the failure to use non-Nolent and
peaceful methods leads to anger
and hatred that cannot be diSsipat-
ed for generations. How much
there Is to learn from the history
Of the relations of England and Ire
land II men but had the grace to
read the story and ponder over it.

Air Humidifier Aids
Health and Hygiene;
Solvent Routs SIudge
By HiIson Munsey

When the heating plant is work.
ing, the air in the room becomes
dry unless some means Of maintain
ing the moisture in the atmosphere
is used. Dry air has a number of
disadvantages. 1t will carry dust to
every part of the house, and par
ticularly to the ceiling above the
radiator. This means constant
cleaning, and eventually redecorat-
ing.
Dry air also reacts on the furniture
and woodwork, cracking it or causing
it to warp or shrink. Humidified air
at 68 degrees Fahrenheit Is more
comfortable than dry air at Z degrees
higher. That represents a con-
siderable difference in the fuel bill
each season.
To overcome the drying out Of the
air, humidifiers placed on the radia-
tors can be used. There are several
on the market, but one, built of
noncorrosive metal, consists Of an
oblong case, containing two mois-
ture troughs. A wick is placed over
the troughs, and, as the heat from
the radiator gradually evaporates
the water 1t saturates the wick,
from which it is evenly dispersed
into the room. A metal cover with
lowers completes the humidifier.
The action is automatic and re-
quires no motors or other expensive
apparatus to distribute the moisture
into the air. This shumidif1er Is easy
to install.
It is held firmly in place by two
straps which pass through the spaces
between the radiator sections and
then are bent over the sides Of the
case to make it secure. These air
moisteners can be used on any type
of radiator and in some cases even
the strapping can be dispensed with.
The water troughs can be refilled
easily.
Oil Tank Solvent.
When sludge accumulates In the
oil tank, it soon finds its way into
pipelines, filters, strainers and burn
ers. That cuts down the efficiency of
the heating system. A solvent can
be bought that eliminates this
sludge. 1t is a nonexplosive and
