Mrs. E. G. Griggs II of Orting, Wash., chairman of the Women's Affairs Committee of American Forest Products Industries, Inc., has been awarded The Garden Club of America's l\Iargaret Douglas Medal for notable service to the cause of conservation education.

"ller most remarkable teaching project, the 160-acre model tree farm which sl.re and her husband operate in Orting, \Masl-r., is know as 'Tomol1a,' a Chinook Indian name meaning'Tomorrow,' symbolic of the future benefits of conservation," said the citation.

"There each year 2,000-odd students and their teachers see how stands of trees should be thinned: how soil erosion. disease and fire can be avoided; and learn of the interrelationship of all forms of life.

"Mrs. Griggs' influence is felt not or.rly in her native \,\rashington but throughout the entire Northrvest."

Soles Down, Profits Sreody For Diqmond Notionol Corporofion

First quarter earnings of Diamond National Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries remained stable despite a sales drop of seven per cent. Per-share earnings weie reported at 62c for the first quarter (12 weeks to March 26) of 1961 as compared to 63c for the same period in 1960. William H. Walters, president, announced- the results at the company's annual meeting held in April.

Diamond National's sales for the firsr ouarter were $51,692,000, compared with $55,482,000 for the 1960 period. Earnings after taxes on income amounted to $2,952,000, compared with $2,982,000 for the 1960 quarter. All figures include the results of Diamond's Englith subsidiary,- The Ilartmann Fibre Company, Ltd.

Mr. Walters attributed the lorver sales to continued softness in markets for Diamond National Droducts and to the general decline in the economy as a w6ole. Both these conditions became apparent in the second half of 1960 and continued through the first quarter of 1961. Diamond's favorable earnings in the first quarter of 1961 were due primarily to the e-fficiency and cost-control programs introduced during 1960; the results of these progiams will continue to be reflected in company operatibns- this year.

fn commenting on the outlook lor 1961, Mr. Walters said, "f am optimistic about Diamond's performance for the remainder of the_year. The company ihould benefit from any improvements in the general economy and our sound competitive position should enable us to continue as one of the leaders of our industry."

Diamond National procluces paperboarcl, folcling cartons, labels. advertising materials, molded-pulp packaging, lumber. matches and woodenware. The company als6 olerates 79 retail building-supply stores on both coasts.

By Hook Or By Crook

Western Pine region. about 30 percent of all

Ever use the term "by hook or by crook?" If you have, you have been using an old forestry expression.'The National Lumber Manufacturers Association gives this explanation for the origin of the expression. In feudal times all forests belonged to the lord of the manor. The peasants were not permitted to cut trees, but had permiision to secure for heating and cooking what undeibrush, limbs, twigs, etc., they could reach "by hook or by crook" ; i. e., what they could cut down with a pruning hook or pull down with a shepherd's crook. This servedlhe useful purpose of keeping tree stands clear of underbrush and of superfluous and dead limbs.
