Ben Allen Retires from Duol Jobs in Redwood

The retirement of Ben S. Allen (left), veteran newspaper man, was announced January V by J. Harold Robinson, president of the Redwood Region Conservation Council, and Philip T. Farnsworth, executive vice-president of the California Redwood Association. Allen has been serving in the dual capacity of secretary of the RRCC and chief of the Conservation division of CRA for the past seven Years. He will now act as consultant to both organizations.

Allen's great contribution was in helping to found the Redwood Region Conservation Council to encourage public understanding of forest maintenance and wise use. Its work is carried on at the community level by "Redwood Circles" which have been defined as "a bridge between the industry and the public, located in the communities where timber operations are a vital part of the economy."

"Allen's contribution to the conservation program of the region has been considerable and will be carried on into the future generation through the influence of conservation programs established in all levels of the Redwood Region schools," said Mr. Robinson.

"This degree to which people of the Redwood Region have accepted the responsibility for the protection of productivity is unmatched in any other industrial community, and Ben Allen deserves great credit for awakening this interest," says Mr. Farnsworth.

Ben S. Allen was born in Grass Valley, California, in 1882 but moved to the Redwood Region with his family in 1885. During his attendance at Stanford University, where he graduated in 1907, he was editor of the Stanford Daily and campus correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Examiner. He is a member of the committee for the 50th Reunion of his class this spring. After a stint as a reporter in San Francisco, he was assigned to London by the Associated Press where he was their first "outside" reporter for I-ondon and England and served in that capacity throughout the Balkan Wars and the early part of World War I (1914-17). In 1914, he was one of seven men who met in Herbert Hoover's London office to found the Commission for Relief in Belgium.

Following World War I, Mr. Allen was publisher of the Sacramento Union (1919-23) and the California Farmer (1923-36). During the latter period, he had an office in San Francisco to handle the public relations and tarift problems for a group of farm cooperative marketing organizations. During 1936 and again in 1938, he accompanied ex-President Hoover on a number of speaking tours. During World War II, Mr. Allen served with Army Postal Censorship and the Office of War Information in San Francisco, after which he re-opened his public relations offices in San Francisco.

Mr. Allen lives with his wife at Point Lakeview, Lower Lake, California. He has four sons and 13 grandchildren.
