Rcdwood Atca Forcrt Indurtricc Form Council to Gct Clorr Public Coopcration

Ukiah, Calif., M'dy 24. Delegates representative of the forest industries of thc redrvood region tlret here today to form a council to eflect closcr cooperation with the public in the communitics u'hcrc they operate and own timller.

'l'he mceting was called by the California Redwood Association, but representation is not restricted to its rnembers, as it is planned to have the new body represent all factors in the industry concerned with the growth and processing of forests products in the redwood region, extending from the southern boundarv of Monterey County to the Oregon border.

The membership of the new organization is as follows: Derby Bendorf, 'l'he Pacific l-umber Company, Scotia; E.. E. Carriger, Santa Cruz Lumber Company, Santa Cruzi Russell lills, Willits Rcdwood Prodttcts Company, Willits; Jack Fairhurst, Fairhurst Lumber Company, Eureka; A. O. Lefors, I.Iammoncl Lumber Company, Samoa; !i. J. I-essard, Crag Lumber Company, Smith River; Robert Mathervs, Ilrizard-Mathews Machinery Company, Eureka; Fenwick C. Riley, Simpson Logging Cornpany, Klamath; Ray Shannon, IJnion l-umber Company, Fort Bragg; E. T. F. Wohlenberg, Masonite Corp., Ukiah.

At today's organization meeting, D. T. F. Wohlenberg u'as elected chairman and Ben S. Allen, California Redrri'ood Association, secretary of the Council.

In discussir-rg the policies and program of the Council, Chairman Wohlenberg said : "\Ve believe that tl-re responsibility for the use and perpetuation of our forest resources must remain {undamentally under the control of the privately owned timber and lumber industry. That is in our interest, bnt we are sure that it is equally in the public interest. Our chief job, then, is to team up our mutual interests. It is not feasible at the moment to adopt a complete rvorking program, but we do know that people are the instruments of good public relations, and rve want to work with them.

"Therefore rve will start immediately to encourage a movement already under way in two counties of the redwood region to set up Redwood Cir'cles. The purpose of these Circles is as important as it is simple: helping in the important task of assuring their communities of a stable and perpetual industry based on the cultivation and use o{ our forest lands. Membership is made easy. A circle member qualifies by believing in our free economy and believing that the private tim,ber and mill owner should exercise the primary rcsponsibility for both the use and preservation of our forest resources. There will be no attempt to tell these Circles what to do, but we wish to tell them what we are doing in our mutual interests' If the Circles on occasion want to tell us rvhat to do, I expect we will pay a lot of attention, sincc they will lre as interested in the success and well-being of our industry as we are.

"The Council is convinced that performance must precede publicity. That is rvhy we are not prepared to announce a formal program now. But work is to be started right now on a project of the most practical nature: support for the Tree Farm program under the auspices of the California l{edwood Association. The redwood region is coming a bit late into the Tree Farm movement, but we have every reason to expect that it rvill be a great success since the Redwood region is one of the best timber growing regions in the world.

"But, if Tree Farming is to lte a stlccess, fire must be kept out of the woods. That is why it will be another important job for the Cottncil to cooperate in controlling this terrible menace. We expect tt,r of{er our services to the California F'ire Prevention Committee which was formed under the auspices of the State Division of Forestry for this purpose.

"The public is just as interested as we are in making our theme, 'logs for today and trees for tomorrow' an assurance of the perpetuation of our forests for both use and beauty. That is why we want and confidently expect public suoport. It will be a grass roots-or perhaps better still, a tree roots-campaign, affecting both the communities where rve operate and the industry itself.

How Lumber Looks

(Continued frorn Page 2)

As we go to press there is no change in the strike situation at the seven operations of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. in Oregon and Washington. The CIO workers went out on May 15. The Weyerhaeuser strike means a loss of approximately 17,500,000 feet of lumber weekly or nearly l2/o on the Northwest's total production.

There is also a strike on at the Coos Bay I-umber Co. plant at Coos Bay, Ore.
