California university or college in September 1959. Applicants must be residents of Del Norte, Humboldt, I\{endocino, Trinity, Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo, San Francisco, Monterey or Santa Cruz counties in the redwood region, and have maintained iu earlier college semesters at least a "8" average. In addition, each must have shown promise of effective professional and community leadership through extra-curricular activities.

Each of the RRCC's nine Circles has endorsed financing the project. Members will voluntarily contribute small amounts to lhe'scholarship fund annually and, it is hoped, interested persons outside the RRCC will add financial support to it. According. to Tilley, "This system makes it a very personal thing; some of us will see young people from our own communities going forward in the field of forestry because of our efforts. It ihould give all of us a great deal of satisfaction."

It is the hope of RRCC that when the program has been underway for a brief period, the number of scholarships made available annually can be increased. That will depend, to a great degree, upon how well the program is financially supported over a long period.

Applications are available from the schools of forestry at the University of California in Berkeley and Humboldt State College in Arcata, or from the Scholarship Committee of RRCC, 223 Rosenberg Building, Santa Rosa.
