This total acreage of government-owned coast redwood forest is larger than the combined area of the five boroughs of New York City. Arranged in a strip, governmentowned coast redwood forests would make a solid strip a mile wide stretching more than 355 miles, almost the distance from New York to Pittsburgh or from Los Angeles to Phoenix.

Approximately 643,000 acres of privately owned forest land in the Redwood Region are enrolled in the forest industry's Tree Farm program, dedicated to growing timber crops on a perpetual basis.

Blqck Stomp for Plywood

Black grade-trademarks now identify construction grades of plywood manufactured under new quality control rules that went into efiect January I by the American Plywood Association.

Red and green inks are used now for the marks that designate plywood types and grades and indicate conformance to specific Commercial Standards. These inks will continue to be used for appearanc€ or sanded grades of plywood.

The announcement was made by John M. Hess, director of the association's DFPA which performs quality control services for producers of about 85 percent of the softwood plywood manufac' tured in th,e United States.

Construction grades include a new structural panel; sheathing manufactured with both waterproof and water-resistant adhesives; an improved-surface sheathing panel marketed as C-D plugged; a special underlayment grade, and, 2.4.1, a l/s-inch thick plywood developed for applications as combination subfloor and underlayment.

Introduction of the black stamps also will eliminate a source ol past con{usion among sheathing grades, Hess said.

A Black Angus bull, resident of the Klamath River Basin, climbed aboard a log at the height of the recent flood, rode it out to sea and bravely surfed his way forty miles north to Crescent City harbor, where he was found alive but exhausted (and presumedly sidesaddle) on his log.

Unfortunately his condition required he be put away. As one of our friends (female) said, "He should have lived to spend his life servicins a million cows,"
