Unalakleet PTA Sets Up William BeItz Memorial Grant-in-Aid at U of A

The Unalakleet Parent Teach CTS Assn. has established Will liam E. Beltz Memorial Grant-in- Aid at the University of Alaska.
 The late Sen. Beltz, who was first speaker of the Alaska State Senate, served two terms as presi- dent of the Unalakleet Parent Teacher Assn. Tn making the pre- sentation, Mrs. John Valentine, president, said, i've wish to per- petuate his interest in education in this way. The grant is to be used to help needy, worthy Una lakleet student or students
 In accepting the $1O0 check, Dean Betty Lyster Watson, scholarship program coordinator, stated that the gift is a signifi- cant one and a fine tribute to the memory of Senator Beltz. The fund, which is to be given annual ly, is to be administered by the University of Alaska Scholarship Committee.

The Tax Bite .

DRESIDENT Edward F. Gallagher of the Goodwill Il Publishing Co, of Gastonia, NC pays off his 29 hourly rate employees in cash and in full every other Friday. For two hours they have the privilege of gloating over all this money. Then the paymaster comes along and collects the tax bite-state and fed- eral income tax withholding and Social Security.
 This procedure costs more, says Mr. Gallagher, than removing these items in advance of payment, but he says it gets results It not only ipresses the workers with how much government $ costing them, but it also makes them realize how much the firm is actually paying them. As for the help, they admit
 it's good idea but they also confess that it's tough to give up the money after eyv had it in their pockets for couple of hours.
 Whatever plan is adopted we hope to hear that and more employers are seeing to it that their toilers impressed every payday with the ousize cost of government If enough business heads will make the effort the crisis of anguish will reach sufi cient volume to be heard in Washington and the fed eral establishment may be persuaded to make some of those sacrifices the President has urged the rest of us

M&M Urge Step Up In
Revenue-P Producing
Forest Investment
By BRIT ENGLUND

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senators
Mansfield and Metcalf are among 2,
Senators urging President Kennedy
to step up revenue-producing invest.
ment in our national forests.
While they understand the many
fiscal pressures to which you are
subjected" they reminded the Presi-
dent, in preparing the federal budget
for the year beginning next July 1
the investment in our forests "pays
handsome dividends and is "essen-
tial to our economic strength"
"We firmly believe that what we
do in the field of resource develop
ment will determine whether we
achieve the goals that we as a nation
have set for ourselves under your
leadership" they wrote. "Action to
fully develop the national forests on
schedule would make a significant
contribution toward meeting these
goals"
The Schedule to which they re-
ferred was the 12-year development
program, developed by the Forest
Service in 1859.
each year, there has fallen upon
Congress the responsibility to provide
additional funds beyond the budget
request" the Senators wrote Presi-
dent Kennedy. Congress ''not only put
the program into operation a year
ahead of the original plan, but in
each succeeding year has added funds
to the budget request"
Referring to the 1876 million acres
of national forests as ga vast reser-
vofr of natural resources they
pointed out that the present level
of investment in these lands is barely
ST. per acre, fraction of what the
average homeowner spends on his
garden plot" Federal appropriations,
they said, are "offset by direct cash
income and by enhancement of the
yalue of this property" which they
estimated as having a liquidation
yalue of more than 81 billion.
Replying for Mr.. Kennedy, Special
Assistant Lawrence F. O'Brien told
he Senators the President will have
heir strong views in mind in the
of the budget request
or fiscal year 1863"

PRESENT RESEARCH CEARED
TO LARGE TIMBER

But, all of the technology of our
forest products industries is geared
to big timber logging methods,
transportation and milling. And for
the plant in Phillipsburg they turned
to Sweden, had Swedish experts come
over and sent one of our men to-
Sweden to study their methods and
mills, and purchased much of the
equipment there. We simply didn't
have the know-how here, nor was our
manufacturing industry prepared to
furnish suitable equipment.
Our foresters do not know how to
manage lodgepole stands. For fifty
years they have concentrated on
white pine, yellow pine and other
species and they can log one of these
stands with the assurance that they
will maintain good forest conditions.
They don't know how to do the same
with lodgepole pine.

the Regents to free the basketball

In order to accomplish this new

a $500 extra building fee will be

Superintendent of Public Instruc-

new building fee.
Miss Miller has long been foe of
student financing of buildings which
are used for instruction purposes.
This is constitutional duty of the

Forest Research Lab Will Open--

| have worked Tor years to get the
necessary research started. Montana
| is not the center of the commercial
lodgepole. Wyoming is. Efforts for
the center have been thwarted by a
push to have the lab in Wyoming.
Montanans have argued successfully
that Bozeman is the best equipped
engineering school near the indus
trial future center of gravity of the
lodgepole utilization program. Mon
tana already has close to five million
invested in lodgepole. This can grow
to $50 million dollars or more since
it has the water to support the fiber
mills to use the lodgepole of the state
plus quite a bit of the wood from
WATERPROOF Wyoming.
1t had been a choice between Boze-
man, Wyoming or Fort Collins.
1t has been predicted that in the
future the movement of timber from
the mountain watersheds will be by
pipe lines bringing the harvest of
water and wood chips to the com
munities below. There will be fewer
but good multiple use access roads.
There had been some discussion of
the possibility that this laboratory
might be duplication of the facili-
ties at the forestry school at Mis-
soula. The Forest Service has stated
that the lab is not to be school. Such
laboratories require the services of
a school of engineering. A famous
example is the internationally known
Forest Products Laboratory in Madi-
son, Wisconsin, which is affiliated
with the University of Wisconsin.
That university has never had for
estry school.
A multi-million dollar industry is
in the offing as a result of locating
the lab in Bozeman.
30 NEW JOBS FOR BOHEMIAN

building will begin soon and when
t is completed our representatives in
Washington will testify next year
before the committee hearings that
hey believe the operationaI funds
will be of great benefit to the state

ernor, he said, eff we do tangle with
the Reds, it will not be with blood and

CINDERELLA TREE CAN MEAN
MUCH TO STATES ECONOMY

Lodgepole pine could, in the flu
ture, mean good deal to Montana
economy. The great lodgepole forests
of Montana, tributary portions Of
Wyoming and northern Idaho have
long been neglected by the lumber
industry and by foresters alike due
to the competition with the larger
species of timber. However, in both
acreage and potential production
these forests far exceed the Scotch
Pine forests of northern England and
Scotland which are vital to the econ
omy of that region; or the combined
Schartz Valid, Hoch Valid and Idear
Valid of West Germany. They COM
pare favorably with the forests Of
Scandinavia. The size and quality of
timber logged in European forests
is not larger and probably somewhat
smaller than that of lodgepole.
Two things have. taken place in
our West.
First, we have overcut the larger
white and yellow pine and the Doug
las fir and other species, the compe-
tition of which made lodgepole rela-
lively valueless, just at the time when
national demand for timber is the
largest.
Second, developments in the use
of tree cellulose as fiber in paper,
fiber boards and similar products has
brought into use timber which could
not be used as saw logs. In addition,
new edge glueing and Illuminating
makes this timber potentially valuable
for wider boards and beams. Lodge
pole can be used as core stock for
plywood. Consequently, the lumber
and other Embarrassing industries are
looking at lodgepole as witness the
new two million dollar plant at Phil
ipsburg.
