A Need For Trained Men 



{4~"T^HE lumber industry needs men trained in the prob- 



1 lems of forestry. It can use young men who are 



specifically trained to handle the many problems that 



face the men in the lumber business. For every young man 



who is so trained there will be an opening. Lumbermen 



realize that men who are technically trained are an asset to 



their business." 



The above statement was made to the members of the 

 Forestry Club of the university on Nov. 13, by A. A. D. Rahn 

 of Minneapolis. Mr. Rahn, schooled in the university of prac- 

 tical experience, brought a message of encouragement to the 

 students studying forestry. He said that those who were 

 trained need not depend on the government, federal or state, 

 to give them positions when they were through. 



A Messaqe of Encouragement. 



"A big field is opening for you young men," he said. "The 

 lumber industry needs you. If you are willing to start at 

 the bottom and work up you will reach the top quicker than 

 will the men who have not had the opportunity for training 

 that you have had. 



"Those of us who are engaged in the lumber industry real- 

 ize what foresters can bring to us. We need them. Scientific 

 lumbering is bound up closely with forestry. If you can serve 

 as scientific lumbermen you need not worry about getting 

 positions when you are through. 



"Private industry will offer even a bigger field than will 

 government work as the time goes on. Don't let anyone tell 

 you that there is no field for men trained in forestry. The 

 government field may be limited, perhaps is, but the wider 

 field offered by private industry can take all now being trained 

 and hundreds more."
