It Gantt Wait

lltITHOUT any trouble at all, we could flnd a U U condition each nrontll that warranted people writing their Congressnren. But. lbr a nunrber of reasons, we don't. We prel'er to rnake that request only when it is truly vital. Well. now is tlre tinre.

Both as an industry and as individual citizens, we nrust do all we can to stop tlre rnindless land grab to enlarge the Redwood National Park. Additionally, preservatiorrists are pushing to lock up enonnous anlounts of acreage rs wildelness areas. Initial reconrrtendations by tlre t'eds call tilr tlve areas in Oregon. Montana and Utah. Total acreage: ll1,000. Arizona Cortgressrrtart MorLis K. Udall proposes to de signate an incrediblc lzl(r rrrillron acres as wildenress in Alaska. lt would elinrinlte a large part ol'Alaska's conrnrercial lirrestland lnd leave thousarrds .joblcss. The arca is greatel irr size thln the states of Calitirrniu and Wrshington conrbine d !

In last nlontll's issue we had an lutlrulitrtrve rundown (l\la.v, lt. l7 ) on tlrc proposcd cnllrgcrttcnt of Redrvood Nutionul Plrk.

As tirr thc proposcd wilderncss incleases. conrnon sense tells us that locking up nrillion ol'acres arvay frorrt all but backpackc'r's would bc a ridiculous and costly blundeL of nronunrcntal proportions.
