TREES FOR FRANCE DIE 

 T^HE Department of Forestry of Pennsyl- 

 vania has been notified that the 1,000,- 

 000 white pine trees shipped to France to 

 reforest the devastated regions of that coun- 

 try died before they could be unloaded from 

 the vessel and had to be dumped into a 

 French harbor. Word has come from the 

 United States Department of State, which 

 co-operated in the project with the Depart- 

 ment of Forestry, that shipping conges- 

 tion in the harbor prevented the cargo 

 being removed from the ship before the 

 trees' roots died because of lack of 

 moisture. 



The Department of Forestry sent the 

 seedlings as a gift to the French govern- 

 ment. They were grown in the Mont Alto 

 and Caledonia forest tree nurseries. 



COMMUNITY CAMPS ON THE 

 NATIONAL FORESTS 



]VTANY western communities are recog- 

 nizing the recreational resources of 

 near-by National Forests as one of their 

 greatest assets and privileges, according to 

 Colonel Greeley, Chief of the Forest Serv- 

 ice, and are establishing community camps 

 under more or less formal organization. 

 These camps take every form from the 

 municipal vacation camps erected on the 

 Angeles National Forest under permit from 

 the Forest Service and maintained and 

 managed by the city of Los Angeles, to the 

 improvement of some favorite picnic ground 

 in the National Forests by local citizens in 

 co-operation with local forest officers. The 

 picnic camps are improved by the construc- 

 tion of fire places, rustic tables and seats, 

 and are made available to the public with- 

 out any charge. The vacation camps under 

 municipal direction charge merely the ex- 



pense of feeding and caring for the suc- 

 cessive groups of city people who enjoy 

 their privileges. 



The growth of the recreational resources 

 of the National Forests is so rapid that 

 specially-trained men are needed to direct 

 and plan for the most effective develop- 

 ment of this service, Colonel Greeley states. 

 Any expenditure along these lines will be 

 good business for the Government, since 

 the increased receipts will return to the 

 Treasury much more than the total amount 

 expended. 



The protection of wild life and the recog- 

 nition of the National Forests as natural 

 breeding grounds of fish and game is close- 

 ly related to the development of the recre- 

 ational resources. To make more effective 

 the work of game protection, in co-opera- 

 tion with the State and local authorities, 

 and to secure better development of the 

 fish and game resources of the National 

 Forests, Colonel Greeley believes that Con- 

 gress should make provision for the es- 

 tablishment of game sanctuaries, within 

 which wild life may find security. These 

 sanctuaries, he says, should be relatively 

 limited in area but should be established in 

 considerable number. 



MID-WEST WOOD TURNERS 

 ORGANIZE 



"PHE Charter Convention of the Mid- 

 West Association of Wood Turners 

 was held at Congress Hotel, Chicago, Feb- 

 ruary 15. This association is a newly or- 

 ganized branch of the National Association 

 of Wood Turners. 



The convention completed the formation 

 of the Mid-West Association, adopted con- 

 stitution and by-laws, and elected officers 

 for the ensuing year. 



Sixteen 42-Inch inserted Tooth Cut-off Saws operating on one slasher rig is probably the record number of this type of saw doing 

 business in the world. These saws are operating daily in the mill of the Crown-Williamette Pulp & Paper Company, of Oregon City, 

 Oregon. They are 42 inches in diameter and six gauge, and were selected from regular Simonds stock. 



As there was no mill at that time that had a complete slasher rig made up of inserted tooth cut-off saws, these 16 were selected for a 

 trial by the Crown-Williamette Company. They at once justified their selection and gave excellent results. 



Through the courtesy of the Crown-Williamette Company, we are privileged to reproduce the illustration showing these 16 Simonds 

 Saws in operation.
