The old story of a lot of extra work and persistence recently paid off for Miss Ada Lou Wheeler, secretary to both Ben Allen and Dave Way in the Conservation Division at the California Redwood Association in San Francisco' She had noticed that the California Redwood Association and Redwood Region Conservation Council had extensive education programs in schools throughout the Redwood Region, but had never sponsored such programs for the San Francisco schools. She then began to wonder if a similar program rvould be acceptable in San Francisco' Fortunaiely, Miss Wheeler has a wide acquaintance of friends who teach in San Francisco, and after talking with them about an educational program similar to that which the CRA and RRCC sponsored in the redwood region, became firmly convinced that such a program would be in order. The next step was to drum up invitations from some of her teacher friends and write to the principal of each San Francisco grammar and junior high school' The response was immediate and enthusiastic. Miss Wheeler then armed herself with five films: "Trees To Lumber," "Trees To Paper," "Trees For Tomorrow," "Sempirvirens" and "Forests For The Future," the latter being a favorite of the five films, and began showing the films at the various schools u'hich requested the program. Following presentation of the film, she gives a talk on Redwood, conservation and fire prevention, and also illustrates her talk with illustrated material and wood samPles.

Miss \\rheeler's "one womah" educational program has been adopted wholeheartedly by both the RRCC and CRA, and there have been so many invitations coming in from the San Francisco schools that it looks as if Ben and Dave might lose a good secretary and the CRA gain one fine addition to their public relations department.
