R.R.C.C. Utilization Committee

Meets in Eureka

The first meeting of the new Utilization Committee of the Redrvood Region Conservation Council rvas held at the Eureka Inn. Eureka, March 20, according to T. T. Stoleson, Fairhaven. committee chairman. The group met for the purpose of discussing region-wide rvood utilization problems, and u-a1's and means of educating the public about new uses for rvood.

"Many new rvood products are nolrr being made in the redwood region out of formerly unused $'ood," Stoleson said. "Nelr. species are being used, and our major species, such as fir and redrvood, are being used for many nelv things," he added. More than ten chipping plants are now operating in the region making wood chips for fibreboard and pulp and paper plants out of available leftover rvood, he said.

RRCC President R. W. Matthews of Eureka reminded the group that improved wood utilization was basically an economic problem. He said that improved markets for rvood by-products were making it possible to use more leftovers that might otherwise go up in smoke.

The committee plans to prepare a number of displays of region wood products for showing to schools, bervice clubs, and county fairs, Stoleson repo;ted. Some of the displays will be distributed to Redwood Circles for showing in their communities. Circles are located at \Villits, Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Cloverdale, Fortuna-Scotia, Arcata, and trvo in Eureka.
