Since 1851 approximately two mil

still remains about three million acres
of federal, state and private inter

to halt the infestation and the $40
million annual loss of this most valu-
able natural resource.

This program of technical assistance
to primarily small timber owners is
generally of two types: /. assisting
owners in learning methods of i'm
proving their timber stands including
Christmas tree cropping, teaching
owners facts about scaling so that
they may secure a fairer price for
their timber from loggers, ETC.; 2.
the ACP program whereby small own
ers can, by observing approved con-
servation practices, be paid by the
federal government for pruning, thin
ming, etc.
With each passing year, these pro-
grams which have been inaugurated
since 1855 are attracting more in

mental assistance to farmers is be-
coming an important phase of the
department work and has increased
the "paper work. load to the point
where the department is hard-pressed
to handle it.
Tommy Vars, CFM man out of the
Kalispell office, wakes enthusiastic
over how small timber owners are
increasingly seeking his advice and
assistance. For private owners this
cooperative advisory service is a
ready source of information ON var
ious phases of silviculture; on how to
increase returns from their timber
sales; ON ways and means of improv-

Three Divisions

Headquarters of the Office Oh
State Forester is in MSU's Jumbo
Hall i'm Missoula. In addition there
are three administrative units.
One at Kalispeu under District
State Forester Herman Schultz super
vises the multi-fold duties of the de-
partment in Flathead and Lincoln
counties.
Another division headquarters is
at Missoula under Forester Sherman
(Jake) Finch. and includes midwest
ern Montana counties, Missoula, Lake,
Sanders, Lewis & Clark, Ravalli, etc.
The third division is at Bozeman,
under Forester Earl Samuelson. This
latter division has as its responsibility
the management of state forest stands
in southwestern Montana as well as
all state-owned forests east of the
Continental Divide to the Canadian,
Dakota and Wyoming boundaries.
The great distances involved, par
ticularly in the Bozeman district,
makes adequate supervision difficult.
Increasing responsibilities devolv-
ing to the department, such as be-
ing the state agency responsible
for forest fire prevention and con-
troll work, foreshadows the absolute
necessity for increased operational
funds if these added responsibilities
are to be carried out. The fire pre-
vention and control program alone
dictates the need for funds to main
tain on a year-round basis at least
one man at several centrally-located
spots in the eastern two thirds of the
state.
At the present time, the State For
estry department has only two ranger
stations-the one at Olney and the
other ait Swan Lake. Considerable
effort. including much unpaid-for
time by personnel, has gone into
renovating and building these two
stations into more adequate centers
from which to carry on the numerous
duties of the department. At both
of these, additional buildings are
badly needed to house key personnel,
some of whom have to drive as much
as % miles one-way daily in order
to get to their work.
There is need for funds TO open
additional ranger stations that per-
sonnet may be close at hand for any
and for regular work that
should be done to carry out a COM
prehensive program of development
and protection, that the states schools
may receive the greatest possible fl
nancial returns from this $50 million
CONSTANT with sound, long
range planned management.

Miscellany


Timber sales, fire prevention and
control work, budworm spraying and
assisting farmers, while major func-
tions of the department, are not all
of it's responsibilities The depart
ment also handles the leasing of
grazing on timber lands-a Little side
line which produces approximately
$11, 900 year for the school Income
& Interest Fund.
In addition, they handle the leasing
of state timber tracts for summer
homes and permanent residences, and
at present have approximately 500
of these leases in effect which bring
into the l & / fund SIS to $50 a
year per site. The demand for cabin
sites ON lakes and streams has been
burgeoning of recent years to such
an extent that the department can
not keep up with the demand, since
site preparation is done during the
off season. Preparing cabin sites is
another off-season activity the de-
partment has instituted in order to
keep work crews busy the year around
and not be faced with having to train
numerous requirements each spring.
The department looks forward to
eventually being able to develop up
wards of 1000 more cabin sites to
provide recreational spots for Mon
tana people.
In developing new cabin sites the
spectre of lack of lake frontage and
access for the general public at Flat
head Lake is constantly before the

De Goulle Says France,
u. S. Stand Together

SAN FRANCISCO. April %
(AP).-France and the United
States stand together in want
ing all peoples to determine
their own destiny. Gen.
Charles de Gaulle declared last
night.
This goal of the common
ideals of the two nations
amounts to political realism in
the modern world, the visiting
President of France said in his
address to a glittering banquet
audience of 1000 in Civic Audi
torium.
The dinner capped a day
started with a parade and well
come called the greatest San
Francisco ever has given for
eign chief of state.
Gen. de Gaulle winds up his
first journey to California
today with tour of a major
electronics laboratory, the new
Palo Alto Hospital and Stanford
Medical Center in Palo Alto. He
planned to leave by jet trans
port for New Orleans this
afternoon.
Gen. de Gaulle stood for two
hours yesterday in the parade's
slow progress through crowds
that surged closely around his
open car in the Montgomery
street financial district.
Police Chief Tom Cahill es-
timated the sidewalk throngs
along the route at 250,000. He
said it was the greatest crowd
he had seen in San Francisco
in his 30-year career.
Gen. de Gaulle steadily lifted
his arm shoulder high in salute
to the throng'S shouts of "Vive
De Gaulle."
The emotional peak of the
day came at a reception by
San Francisco's French colony
at the Palace of the Legion of
Honor. After shaking hundreds
of hands, Gen. de Gaulle strode
to a microphone and said:
This is the first time I have
come to San Francisco and
perhaps the last"
The Crowd shouted in pro-
test, non, nom"
With ringing pride in his
voice, Gen. de Gaulle went on:
The impression you make
here renders a service to
France.

The Montgomery County
Council has called for a meet
ing with nearby Maryland
planners and State road off,
cials "as soon as possible" to
discuss proposals to carry Route
240 into the Ditrict.
William r. Hickey, the men,
Der who suggested the meeting,
said the council is looking for
a complete clarification Of the
advantages" of the Wisconsin
avenue and Silver Spring routes,
There's been lots of talk but
a dearth of real knowledge.
Mr.. Hickey said yesterday.
He pointed out that the
county council thus far has
never taken an official stand on
the corridor proposals. Almost
everyone else within earshot
has.
Mr.. Hickey said some per-
sons may have thought NJ. L.
Reese, the former county man
ager, was speaking for the
council when he once opposed
the Wisconsin avenue route be-
fore the Maryland = National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Reese's Own Views
The opinions were Mr.. Reese's
and not the councils official
position, Mr.. Hickey said. He
noted that recent talk of q
possible Silver Spring route
prompted him to suggest the
fact t-finding session with the
planning commission and road
officials.
Two recent developments
have brought the road contro-
versy, quiet for O while after
long q bitter debate, back to
the boiling point.
The f1rst was when Bertram
D. Tallamy, administrator of
the Bureau of Public Roads,
told District officials that a
connection to the Districts In
ner Loop from Pook's Hill
would have to be built along
Wisconsin avenue to qualify for
Federal aid funds.
The second was when the
MNCPPC directed its staff two
weeks ago to start study Of a
possible Silver Spring link be-
tween Route 240 (also called
Interstate Route 70-S) and the
District.
The planners were told to
prepare information for a pub
lie hearing on the routes in the
fall.

that it can take a stand on the
road controversy.
Presumably the councils
position would be presented at
any public hearings that might
be held on the road proposals.
The council asked Mason A.
Butcher, acting county man
ager, to set up the meeting. He
was told to invite John B.
Funk. chairman Of the State
Roads Commission, and Lans-
dale @. Clagett. a commission
member. as well as the plan
ners.
Mr.. Butcher said he will not
know when the parley will be
held until he has a chance to
talk to Mr.. Funk and the
others.
Mr.. Funk, long a central
figure in the Route 240 battle,
said recently he would press
for reversal Of the Federal de-
cision that Route 240 would
have to follow the Wisconsin
avenue corridor. He said he
favors a route east Of Rock

The councils Qualification
session also is expected to add
new fire to the disagreement
between two MNCPPC men,
bers. Donald Gingery and ].
Newton Brewer, jr., over the
Route 24O connection.
Mr.. Brewer favors the Silver
Spring route and was the one
who urged the nearby Mary
land planners to start a de-
tailed study of this connec-
ton.
Mr.. Gingery is known as a
vigorous backer of the Wis
