AMERICAN FORESTRY 



To Our Members, Greeting! 



LOOKING back over the past year the members of the American Forestry 

 Association have much to be thankful for. Looking forward to the 

 New Year they have much to hope for. 



For their loyal support, which has never been firmer than in the days 

 when it was of most service to their country, we desire most cordially to thank 

 them. We are confident that this support will be continued in the future and 

 that it will grow stronger with the passing of the years. 



In various ways, as it was able, the Association has contributed to the 

 cause of Democracy and of Freedom. Its assistance in the fight for Right 

 and Justice has been possible only because of the consciousness that all 

 its members, every last one of them, were with the Association in this 

 patriotic work. 



What the American Foresters have done in this country and in France 

 in getting out the timber for airplanes, wooden vessels and other war needs, 

 is the subject of just pride to the entire nation. For the encouragement 

 given these strong and noble men and for the deserved comforts provided for 

 them through the Welfare Fund, we thank our members most heartily. 



These efforts have helped to bring to the World once more a Merry 

 Christmas and a Happy New Year. For this great Gift we are most 

 sincerely thankful.
