TIMBER RESOURCES

In the most complete survey of
u. S. timber resources ever made,
the Forest Service declares that our
requirements by the year 1000 viii
be SO high that timber growth win
need to be as much as 12O per cent
greater than it is now.
The report says that present rates
of progress in forest improvement 'sare
equal to providing a balance between
cut and growth at the year 1000" The
need for gearing forestry activities to
increases in population and to the level
of economic activity assumed for the
rest of this century are highlighted in
the report.
Other highlights of the survey state
there are 489 million acres in the u. S.
capable of growing commercial timber,
some lis million acres-a fourth of all
commercial forest land - is poorly
stocked, and a fourth of the timber
cut is not now utilized.

Wool production next year is not
expected to be any larger than this
year-despite the incentive pay
ment offered by the government.
Agriculture Department officials
believe stock sheep on farms and
ranches will change little by the
first of next year.
Meanwhile, grower prices for shorn
wool continue downward, reflect1ng the
general decline on world markets
which is resulting from large supplies.
At present. grower prices are running
at about 10 cents per pound less than
a year ago.

SUPPORT INVESTMENT

Agriculture Department officials
make no bones about their belief
that the governments investment
in supported commodities will go
to $11 billion or more within the
next seven months. At present, the
investment amounts to ST. billion.
Except for wheat and rice, most
major crops have larger production
this year than last-cotton, oats, grain
sorghums, soybeans, peanuts and po-
tatoes. Because of lower market prices
for these commodities, officials antici-
pate considerably more of them going
into the loan shelter.
Total crop production now definitely
is the second largest on record-de-
spite government controls which this
year have been about as stringent as
the law allows. AS matter of fact, if
you include livestock production, which
is at record levels, 1855 is the biggest
total farm production year in history.

Canadians fear that we will dump a

to start building now and apply
all such expenditures toward MAX
ing that valuable and much more
conveniently located property into
a permanent community head
quarters, which all of us could be
proud to own and enjoy?
Everybody appreciates every
effort that steps will be taken on
this project.
If the building project will
come to reality, perhaps the final
responsibility rests upon the
whole membership to see to it
that the project is carried
through. This can be accom-
plished only by effective plan
ming.
Let's keep in mind that more
years of delayed action and in
difference to the Clubhouse prof.
ect would be disastrous The smell
of community's folding money,
hard-earned and accumulated
for the past 81 years-often has
an Intoxicating effect upon local
officialdom.
Anyway these are some of the
many questions which are certain
to arise as discussion of this SUBJ
ject proceeds.
We Look Forward
This is only the beginning. The
present look definitely is forward.
Now we are concentrating on all
improvements that We'll greatly
add to the welfare and enjoyment
of all members of the Filipino
the spirit of teamwork and en-
thusiastic support of everyone
concerned to produce construct
i've results. We believe the finan-
cial hackers will show their re-
newed faith on Queen Contests
and any sound Embarrassing cam
paign by the Filipino Commu-
nifty.
We most assuredly need a suit
able clubhouse in our rapidly
growing community. The erection
of the clubhouse will not only in
vite public attention but also in
sure enjoyment and prestige for
the entire membership. 1t will
serve a practical purpose because
it will give us adequate quarters
in which to carry on our year
round community activities.
Let us take another long look
at the building project and we
sincerely hope you can all get be-
hind it and help push it to get
started rather than oppose it.
Let us pledge ourselves anew
that we SHALL make every hui
man effort to achieve these ends.

AS WE SEE IT
ByI. A. ArzadOn

1n1S is IOI sure: Ii Is d
fine thing to keep any record
straight.
There will always be lively
and vital community issues.
Which is as it should be.
In assuming leadership it is
what a person stands for and how
effectively he serves the public
which counts most--not how he
stands with pride-as pride is to
character as the attic is to the
house-the highest part is gen
orally the most empty.
Observation On Our Leaders
We have observed, there are
certain obvious facts about our
elected leaders of the Filipino
Community of Seattle and few
will deny that they have done so
little to achieve community OBJ
jectives.
Here they are:
1. The standard of management
and services of the Filipino Com
munity of Seattle have not i'm
proved during the past 20 years
as compared with other smaller
Filipino communities in the Pa
cific Northwest.
2. There is no sign of construc-
tive action or renewed interest on
the clubhouse project, or greater
participation by all members on
committee meetings.
8. Most of the leaders are gen.
orally capable and respected. Per-
haps, somewhere on the line they
lack the spirit of cooperation,
Self-sacrifice and teamwork. They
seem to neglect their duties and
responsibilities. Younger and alert
citizens are continually watching
these leaders in action.
4. We have observed, wi h
amusement, that the clubhouse di-
rectors have nothing to report
no plans of any sort for the erec-
ton of the long overdue and most
talked about Community Club
house.
We have observed that those
conscientious individuals with the
vision and the ability to do big
things always meet with opposi-
ton from those unwilling or I'M
able to see the benefits of the
project.
For many years now, we have
been waiting and wondering. And
now we think it is time that 9TH
ers begin to wonder about this,
too.
Better Start Now
We learn from an authoritative
source that the Filipino Commu-
nifty of Seattle owns a property
lot and have enough money to
start the construction of the
Clubhouse.
Wouldn't it be much wiser and
better to take up the initiative

correct name and address of loved
one to be notified. The official
Civil Defense Identification tag
will enable officials to speed iden~
tification and family reunion.
There are, of course, many peace
time uses for this tag-when fire
breaks out, a tornado strikes, or
when an accident occurs, to name
a few. AS one Civil Defense of
ficial puts it, This is one way
parents can be sure that their chill
dren won't be completely lost"
In one recent instance, a three
year old fodder was separated
from his mother in a department
store, he, became frightened and
fearful until store executive
noticed the tag, broadcast the in
formation over the public address
system and located the mother who
was also panicky.
AS one official pointed out, chat
is only simple everyday situation,
but would be far more important
in case of a real disaster when
every child in America is liable to
be separated from his family at
one time or another and we should
all prepare for such an emery
ency."
Early interest in the "Identifica-
ton Tag indicates that it will be
popular throughout the country.
The Pet Milk Company, which is
making this offer on an Eat cost"
basis, expects to help the Federal
Civil Defense Administration dis
tribute many millions of these tags.
Cost of the tags is only 25c-half
of the normal price. Full informa-
ton and order blanks on how you
may obtain an official Civil De
Tense Identification tag is available
at your grocery store. You simply
fill in the required information and
mail with 25c to the Pet Milk Com
pany. 1t is not necessary to buy
anything.
This Identification tag program,
of course, is fully endorsed by the
Federal Civil Defense Administra-
ton. In fact, Mr.. Val Peterson,
director of the Federal Civil De-
Tense Administration, has gone on
record as welcoming the coopera-
ton and support of the Pet Milk
COMPANY.

Report Success
Of Polio Vaccine

To an anxious world this week
came long awaited news on the
polio vaccine developed by DR..
Jonas E. Salk with support of
March of Dimes funds. The report,
coming on the tenth anniversary
of the death of Franklin D. Roose-
welt, founder of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis, is a
timely reminder of his leadership
in the fight against polio.
DR.. Thomas Francis, director of
the Polio Vaccine Evaluation Cen
ter, University of Michigan, re-
leased his report on the evaluation
of the vaccine April 18th. The re-
port involved the study of 144,-
100000 facts about the 100000
school children who participated in
the 1854 field study.
Foundation officials stated that
there are no records which reveal
the race of the children who par
ticipated in the 1854 field study of
the polio vaccine. 1t is estimated,
however, that more than 10000
Negro school children were partic-
ipants in the study.
Long years of scientific research
preceded the field trials of the polio
vaccine. Much painfully slow work
was done by many skilled scient-
lists before the polio vaccine was
developed by DR.. Salk.
