FORESTRY PROGRAM

erations to grow a tree to saw log
proportions.
Mr.. Ahlskog then introduced For
est Supervisor w. G. Guernsey, one
of the two principal speakers of the
evening, who told the group that 56
million feet of saw logs can be har-
vested annually in the Libby Troy
circles under the Sustained Yield
program. The plan would allocate
10 million feet to Troy, 40 million
feet to Libby and five or six million
feet to other mills. The plan IS TO
provide a long time program for
the most complete use of wood pro-
ducts; to protect streams and lakes
by proper cutting; to insure better
fire protection, and to provide re-
creational possibilities including
hunting and fishing in addition to
scenic trips, etc.
The Supervisor stated that larch
and Douglas fir compose A per cent
of the areas production. White Pine,
one of the most valuable trees IN
the Kootenai, has a 100 year rota-
ton period as compared with a lSO
year period for larch and fir. The
forest has a large volume of over
age timber; and il will take about
so years to get the younger timber
ready for logging
The various holdings of timber
land were discussed, with charts
showing the national forests holding
a great preponderance of the tim
Der. The Neils Company also has
holdings with smaller
amounts being held by the state,
The Northern Pacific and the
A. c. M. Much of the latter holdings
have been acquired by the j. Neils
Company, which has also received
logging privileges on much Of the
Northern Pacific lands. Under the
Yield program the state
and N. P. holdings would give about
a three million feet annual harvest
Dean Kenneth P. Davis of the
UniverSity's School of Forestry,
was introduced and dis
cussed the u. S. Chamber of Com
merce's policy relative to federal
owned forests. Dean Davis men
toned what has already been under
in The Western News,
the possibility of the government
cling large sections of the ma
tional forest lands to private inter
ests. a plan which is looked upon
with disfavor by conservationists
and others interested in the protec-
ton Of public lands from exploita-
ton.
He also stated that lack of funds,
lack of authority, and inadequate
have prohibited the State
Forester from going to the desired
length in timber management. Davis

The Libby Garden Club held a
picnic Tuesday at Kootenai Falls.
A large group was present to enjoy
all the good food and the beautiful
day at the newly cleaned-up picnic
grounds.
Plans for the coming flower show
were completed and the Home Beau
tification Contest which is closed
this week. was discussed.
Flower paintings have been made
by committees at several places
along the highway at the entrances
to the city. These will be cared for
at intervals by these committees so
that it is hoped Libby and its Gar

TO continue bringing classes here for
such work in the future.
One of the members of the class
expressed the appreciation Of the
group to the ]. Neils Lumber Co.,
which fed the class without charge;
and to the Forest Service of the
Kootenai Forest which allowed them
free use of its camp at Warland.
Before the evening program,
members of the Libby group en-
loved being shown over the Neils
Warland camp, which is an out
standing example of modern log
ging camp at its best. The company
has just completed three portable
dwellings under the supervision Of
Norris Adams, and moved them to
Warland. These buildings, which are
transported either by rail or the
company diesel, are two room
structures with shower bath, toilets
and clothes closet. They have sinks,
built-in cupboards and are finished
in attractively vanished knotty pine
and have three-inches of Zonolite
insulation in the ceilings. The cabins
are for the use of men with fam
lilies, and more of the structures are
being completed for use at the
camp.

 JUST WHEN the holiday merriment sings along hap oily toward grandiose climax the stasticans inevi taby put their black gloom caps and voice warning This time it is the dignfed and austere statistical dvi sion of the Metropolitan Insurance Comuany.
 Ware Christmas tree fires! it says, with shudders Somehow accidents seem to increase in. all holiday periods At Chrstmastime majoritny of the mishaps result from Christmas tree conflagratons. At this point of course, the stasticans unavodaby get in strong free plug (no pun) for the electrical industry Electric lighting for Christmas trees has been ndubtably the safest for brighening the yue trees that they have to recommend it. And the electric wiring and bulbs (an- other good boost for the industry) should be of ap proved design. Old-fashioned or tallow candles should never be lighted tree Further, other dec- orations should be of non-inflammable material and movable combustibe goods should be taken away from the tree before the lights are turned on.

a quarter million Italian Commun- ists-and another million fellow travelers-can cause far more trouble when they are ready.
 They can strangle from half .o two-thirds of the factories, and they are we'll armed for civil War. Large-scale unemployment, black marketing and crushing poverty under imitation are counted on by the Reds to swell their ranks. If they do not win the March general elections, they probably will resort to violence.
 The Trieste situation is even more explosive. One spree by the trigger happy Yugoslav troops might precipitate a clash at any time. The excellent American British token force could not hold out long if Tito decided to move.
 Under the circumstances, 1t IS essential that we give Italy eco- homie aid, that we keep an ade- quate Mediterranean fleet nearby, and that in case of need our evac- uating army be prepared to return on invitation of the representative government.

 And apparently he thinks that despite his failure to overthrow the French and Italian governments they will go toerating his Fifth Columniss until he f nally succeeds.
 Crazy such idea sounds, if Stalin holds it the Denocracies themselves are largely to blame.

 Therein is the grave risk of Not that Stalin will precpitate deliberately-he is not ready yet The danger is that he will over-reach himself Aggres usually do.

EUROPEAN SKETCH

A midWeStern acquaintance of mine recently gave to a group of businessmen what he called a re- port of "a roller skate trip over a very large subject" Sterling Mon ton, Chicago banker and industri- alist, was reporting on a seven weeks trip to Europe. His re- marks seemed to me worthy of larger audience. A shrewd observ- CT and careful scholar, MT. Mor ton made his first of many trips to Europe as far back as 1896!
 This recent trip, according to MT. Morton, was no V. I. P. excur- sion. (The Very Important People sometimes arrive at conclusions that have been planned by their hosts in advance). Actually, Mr. Morton rented a small French car and drove it 2,5O0 miles, talking to everybody along the way. Because he speaks French fluently, our midwesterner was taken for Frenchman when outside France, for ane Englishman when in France-but harly for an Ameri- can at any time.
 Out Of Balance
 We saw lot of poor people, lots of shabby people, but we saw no one who really looked starved" he said. But crops were poor-I have never seen Europe look so dry and sere. It will be a hard winter no matter what may be done to help out" We should ad- minister our relief directly, he be- lieves so that it is known who gives it. "The Russians got much more publicity and good will from a couple of cargoes of wheat they sent to France than we have had for the billions we have spent"
 In France, MT. Morton reported the cost of living up ten times over 1887, with wages having in creased six times. "How an eleva- tor operator, for instance, can live on 5000 francs a month is a mys- tery. Or how laborer can be con- tent on the official ration of two fifths of a pound of bread a day. Things are very much out of bal ance." However, MT. Morton sees France on the road to recovery, in physical way.
 Peacetime Damage
 BUT: France is cursed with government employees. There al- ways were droves of them-now there are hordes! One former Ma qui suggested the way to improve conditions was to machine gun half the "fonctionaires'! Even Sen
