Luhrs Building-Phoenix, Arizonq Lcrry Grilfith-Phone 3-Il2l n'ill fix the cost posterity n'ill pa1'for its investurent in iorest recreation areas, except for current maintenance. That n.ill be b1. 1u, the cheapest for them. Ancl it u-ill be as it should be. If enough foresight is developed in ottr generation to leave for future generations reallv adecluate iorest recreatiotr areas at a price that, n'hen thev are tlsing them' n'ill be very cheap in the dollars of that da1-' thel- should be hupp)' to pay off the bonds and bless our memorv for har-ing giver them rhe opPortunitl'.

Summarizing:

1. Take a good long hard look at the existing en.rotional r-ested interest in perpetual "sate trees from the rapacious lur.nbermen" programs to see if they make sense in the u'orld rve live in today. If it is decided that thel' Co, then the rest .'rf these recommendations can be ignored and efforts can lte made to make present programs rvork.

2.lf it is decided thev do not anv longer make selrse. then lr soltttio,r can be sought that rvill rvork. There is nou' no easy solution. -\ program must be built that the lleollle u'zint enough to pav for, because there is no longer evell a prayer of doing more than acquiring a feu' nlore suilerlatil'e groves from gifts. It rvill inlolve : (a) thinning otlt parts of present holdings to make them more useful and to give nature a chance to grorv even finer specimen trees faster to replace those tl-rat l'ill lte iner-itabl1' lost, and (b) placing major enrphasis on accessiltility' and suitabilitv for m:tss pubiic recreation areas in future acquisitior.rs-

3. Decide rr hat is u'anted and n'hat is not n-atrted for park addiiions. Give the lumber industrv a chance to cooPerate in setting aside the somes'here lletu'een 5 per cent and 10 per cent of acreage of existing virgin and high grade )'onng star.rds that represents the maximum possible park acquisition program, and. stop pointing the finger of scorn at the lumberman for running his business of grorving, har\-esting. and gir-ing utilitv I'alue to the trees on the other 90 to 95 per cent of timberland-a business s'hich is just as legitimate and honorable as that in u'hich an1' of its detractors are engaged.

4. Recognize that redistribution oi acctttnulated l-ealth and embracing egalitarianism as our econ()llric antl social pattern for the future means that adequate forest recreation areas for 20 to 30 million egalitarians cannot and t'ill not be provicied as gifts {rom this generation. Then lav the cards on the table and give the egalitarians all .)pp()rtullit-r to pa1' for l'hat they u'ant. Ii the job is honestlv done-if thev are permittec[ to participate in preparing the prograrn and it does contain rvhat tl-rey s'ant-ii it is then properh' merchandized as a package, I believe thev n'ill buv it and be glad thei' did.

The earliest knttu-n treatment of u'oocl is described in the Bib1e. Genesis (r to lJ, u-l.rerein (iocl chargecl Noah trl lluild an ark and "pitch it u'ithin ancl n'ithout u'ith pitch."
