Stopped A o lYOXW0n Ecneen d&n work is drawn out within a frame that is termed "Multiple IJse." Its divisions are commercial timber, grazing, water, wildlife, and such recreation as mountain mule riding.

The recreation and wilderness areas of the national forests are on a sharply rising curve of economic value. The new prosperity, with a growing population having more money to spend on outdoor recreation, is the source of a swelling tide of summer travel to the Pacific Northwest.

The forest indistries, especially in their smaller units, will be looking more and more to the commercial timber stands of the national forests in the future for log supply. Such supply \,vas the stated main purpose for establishing the national forests in the first place.

Development and promotion of the non-commercial, high-country f.orest areas for recreation and tourism has become a vital concern of loggers and lumbermen. Cooperation of all hands concerned in popular use of the purely recreational areas of the national forests should serve to redu,ce the popular pressure for recreational use of tree farms and other privately owned lands. Hiker's Trail and Truck Road .

Nowadays the streams around old Shasta are kept well stocked and the saddle trails range even to the snow peak. Where I packed and logged there are great, thriving tree farms, one of them a Hearst enterprise. The need there, as all along the crest and skyline trails, is cooperative work for the future of high-country use of commercial timber in the public forests and for the ,forest areas that are right and good {or recreational use onlv.

"Whql ls ll to Be lrish?"

Last year the newspaper columnist, Hal Boyle, wrote about what happens to an Irishman on St. Patrick's Day. Overnight, he said, an Irishman grows a foot taller and stalks the earth like a giant. All traffic lights turn green for him, and if tlrey don't he sees red.

Then Hal goes on with his question repeated over and over: "'Whatis it to be frish?" And, of course, he answers his own question:

What is it to be Irish?

It is to have an angel in your mouth, turning your prose into poetry. It is to have the gift of tongues, to know the language of all living things. Does an Irishman pause and turn an ear to a treE? It is because on this day he wants to hear what one sleepy bud says to anotfier as it opens its pale green hands to the warm sun of spring.

What is it to be Irish?

Oh, on this day it is music. Not just the cornet in the parading high school band, but the deep, deep music of living, the low sad rhythms of eternity. The Irishman hears the high song of the turning spheres, the dim lullaby of the worm in its cocoon. All the world is in tun'e, and he is in step with the tune, the tune that only he can hear'

What is it to be lrish?

It is to live the whole history of his race between a dawn and a dawn, the long wrongs' the bird-swift joys, the endless hurt of his ancestors since the morning of time in a forgotten forest, the knock-at-his-heart that is part of his religion.

What is it to be Irish?

It isn't only the realization that he is descended from Kings. It is the realization that he is a King himself, an empire on two feet, striding in power, a strolling continent of awe.

What is it to be Irish?

Why, on St. Patrick's Day to be Irish is to know more glory, adventure, magic, victory, exultation, gratitude, and gl"dtt"t" than any other man can experience in a lifetime'

What is it to be Irish?

It is to walk in complete mystic understanding with Go'd for 24 wonderful hours.-(From "The Vagabond'")

He Deserved Worse

"You say you served in the army?" said the restaurant manager as he sampled the new cook's first soup.

"Yes, sir. Cook for two years and wounded twice."

"You're lucky, man. It's a wonder they didn't kill you."

Whor? All rhe Signs?

The bus driver called out to the passenger:

"Cut out the smoking, mister. Can't you read the signs?"

The smoker asked:

"Do I have to obey all the signs?"

T[e driver said:

"That's what we put them up for."

The smoker grinned:

"Even the one about wearing Snuggy Corsets?"

Creeds

Friend, you are grieved that I should go, Unhoused, unsheltered, gaunt and free, My cloak for shelter-for my tent The roadside tree.

And I-I know not how you bear A roof betwixt you and the blue, Brother, the creed would stife me That shelters you.

Yet that same light that floods at dawn Your cloistered room, your cryptic stair, Wakes me, too, sleePing bY the hedge, To morning pt"Y"" charrotte wilson.

Among Her Souvenirs

She had just thrown him over, and he was in the act of giving back the symbols of their blasted rom€nce' pictures, letters, etc.

"f suppose," he said, "you'll want this lock of hair back' as a souvenir?"

"A souvenir of what?" she loftily demanded.

He snapped:

"Of the time you used to be a brunette."

A customer ""-" ,ll"t:1":"?3"t"t:v store in Kentuckv, an'd wanted t9 know if they had any real cheap tobacco, the regular brands being too high priced. The grocer said he did have some he would sell cheap, because it had gotten wet and was very mustS and wasn't much good for human use'

Said the customer: "That'Il do fine' I'll take two pounds' It will be just right for my son John to learn on"'

Thal's Whot F'looked Like

A small farm boy, waiting for his mother in a beauty parlor while she was under the hair dryer, finally walked over to her and asked:

"Ma, how much longer are they going to keep you under that brooder?"

Invenfory Guide From DFPA

You can't do business from an empty wag.on.

With that in mind, west coast fir plywood manufacturers are offering lumber dealers a new inventory guide to grades lumber dealers should stock to achieve rnaximum fir plyr,vood sales. The guide is one of the first of the nerv Golden Jubilee merchandising aids developed by the manufaoturers who are celebrating fir plywood's 50th anniversary with a $2,500,000 promotion program that is expected to spark record volume plywood sales this year.

Basic stock varieties in the guide are itemized for lumber dealers according to their annual gross sales. Minimum stock recommendations are based in part on information from a careful sales and merchandising survey which reached 2Q/o of all retail lumber dealers in the United States. Recommendations in the guide are also based in part on experience gleaned from a test operation in six yards across the country.

The guide provides dealers with a standard from rvhich to measure the number of grades and thicknesses within both Exterior and Interior type fir plywood that should be carried to meet customer demand. It makes no attempt to suggest actual volume in each grade. fnventories are split into three categories for dealers doing annual gross business in these rang.es:9100,000 to 9150,000;9150,000 to $500,000, and $500,000 and over.

Sample copies of the inventory guide may be obtained free from Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma, Washington.
