"CANDID FORESTRY," an educational cartoon on interesting and little-known facts about West Coast forests, appears for the first time today in The California Lumber Mer'chant. This unusual feature is drawn by Art Bimrose, rvell-known Portland newspaper artist, and will become a regular monthly feature of this newspaper.

Foresters, educators and writers have pooled their knowledge of the forests into this distinctive feature which is ably drarvn by Art Bimrose. We believe it 'ivill answer many of the questions about our great Douglas fir forest' lands and in a style which will appeal to all of our readers from the youngest to the oldest.

There are I75 Tree Farms in the Western Pine region covering 2,694,447 acres.

San Franci566-"gs-Oervirens," the story of the ,,everliving tree," is the title of the new documentary 16 millimeter motioq picture whi,ch has been released by the California Redwood Association

In 30 minutes, running time of the film, "sempervirens" not only shows how modern forestry works with nature toward perpetuating redwood supplies but also explains milling and grading procedures in terms of intended uses of the rnaterial.

A production in kodachrome complete with sound, the movie sholvs how redwood has become one of the most widely used of the world's woods even though it grows in the most restricted area of any lumber-producing species.

Because of its unique combination of properties, redvi,ood has been found better, for more jobs, than any other wood in the world. lfowever, because of all the lumber produced only one board in 50 can be redwood, it should be used with care to do the jobs it alone can do best.

"Sempervirens" tells the story of,finding the best market for the various grades of redwood and illustrates the uses of redwood in industry, in agriculture, and in the home. The use of redwood for tanks, for cooling towers, for decks of aircraft carriers, for barns and silos, for the exterior and the interior of homes, and for countless other diversified purposes is illustrated in detail.

An important part of the movie was filmed along the narrow strip of land on the 500 miles of Northern California coast where Sequoia sempervirens grows. The story o.f second growth and the practice of selective logging, whereby a selected number of trees are left standing as seed trees in each area to rebuild the forest, is explained and illustrated.

Sempervirbns also tells of the segregation of park and commercial areas and of the importance of conserving the redwoods as a raw material.

The film was produced by Gene K. Walker productions of San Francisco and was supdrvised by philip T. Farnsworth of the California Redwood Association.
