AMERICAN FORESTRY 



FORESTERS MEET MONTHLY 



HP HE Foresters located in and about New York City 

 * are meeting regularly on the first Thursday of each 

 month at i P. M., at the Yale Club for luncheon. This 

 offers a fine opportunity to talk things over and some 

 very interesting discussions have already developed 

 through the meeting of Messrs. J. E. Rothery, Barrington 

 Moore, Ernest A. Sterling, Hugh P. Baker, Nelson C. 

 Brown, and R. S. Kellogg. All Foresters who happened 

 to be in New York the first Thursday of each month 

 are cordially invited to join the company. It is only 

 necessary to notify or telephone Nelson Brown, at 506 

 Hudson Terminal, 30 Church Street, New York (Cort- 

 landt 1556).

ART AND SERVICE 



In Phoenix, Arizona, the owners of an automobile service station 

 at one of the down-town corners built their mission-style struc- 

 ture around a great palm tree, rather than cut it down to make room 

 for their place of business. They have aptly given the name, Palm 

 Service Station, to their establishment. 



CENTRAL PARK UTILIZES DEAD TREES 



PARK COMMISSINER FRANCIS D. GALLATIN DEMONSTRAT- 

 ING THE SMALL SAWMILL RECENTLY INSTALLED IN CEN- 

 TRAL PARK 



TPHE Department of Parks of the City of New York 

 - is doing a splendid thing in the utilization of the 

 dead trees in Central Park. "We have installed a por- 

 table drag saw," writes J. S. Kaplan, Forester of the 

 Department, "which first bucks the tree up into logs, 

 then a wood mill which saws the log into stove wood 

 length, and a splitting machine which splits these bolts 

 into stove wood size. In addition to this, the saw mill 

 shown in the photograph for making rough lumber 

 out of red oak, ash and other trees from which we 

 can get at least a twelve-foot length. The stove wood 

 is distributed to the poor during the winter at distribu- 

 tion stations established throughout the city. During 

 last winter, at times, we were able to help out the De- 

 partment of Education, who used it almost exclusively 

 for fuel in various school buildings."
