Don't Get Ripped Off Without Fighting lt

n NE thing seems apparent as we all tread

\J gingerly into the unknowns of 1974, this is going to be another year in which politics has a direct effect on the lives of us all. Outside of Rip Van Winkle, we can't imagine anyone who won't be aware of the gas and/or electrical shortages, to name just two results of politics in action.

Do we shrug our shoulders, resign ourselves to whatever happens? Curse the closest politician and accept our role as ripee? You can (and millions do) but we don't recommend the procedure.

Inaction, to us, is an advanced form of stupidity and the probable cause of more than one of the troubles to which this great country of ours is heir. You need not race out and file for the next Congressional contest in your district, but at least do something,

If your livelihood has any connection with timber, lumber or wood products in any of their processed forms, we can't think of anything better than to join the Forest Products Political Committee's 99 Club.

Founded as an offshoot of the National Forest Products Assn., FPPC is a voluntary, unincor- porated, nonirrofit, non-partisan organization. Its sole purpose is to raise funds and make contributions to the campaigns of Senators and Congressmen; no presidential, state or local politics. Acting in conformity with the new Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, its goal is to srlpport the election of national legislators who understand the forest industry and its unique problems.

The 99 Club gets its name from the fact that each person must contribute at least $99 on a personal basis, no company donations. Sustaining members can give up to $500.

The club can boast a good deal of success in its short life and its record inthe 1972 elections is admirable. The FPPC supported 86 candidates that year and 74 won election or reelection" an 867o win ratio.

Describing itself as the "political arm of the forest products industryoo' its supporters include virtually all the top people in the industry. If you consider yourself at the end of a long day as being more extinguished than distinguished, don't !e put off from contributing. Just remember the 99 Club's slogan: "It Needs You. And You Need It."
