SOCIETY AFFAIRS 



By a majority vote the executive council of the Society has fa- 

 vorably acted upon the three propositions submitted to it by the Wash- 

 ington Section regarding the place of the forest profession in national 

 defense : 



(1) That the council formally indorse for the Society of American 

 Foresters the action proposed by the Washington Section, subject to 

 the understanding that the action involved on the part of individual 

 members shall be entirely voluntary and that the work may be corre- 

 lated as it is found desirable with other like activities. 



(2) That the executive council appoint the identical committee 

 selected by the Washington Section to act for the entire Society in this 

 matter. 



(3) That the executive council allot to this committee from general 

 Society funds the sum of $25 to defray expenses incident to the work. 



A meeting of the California Section of the Society of American 

 Foresters was held Friday, February 9, at which Mr. Stewart Edward 

 White was present. The program of the evening was "Fire Protection 

 and Insect Control."
