Sfqn Murphy Elecred President in CFPA's Second Half-centuty Stort

Newspaper headlines 50 years ago proclaimed that the leaders of California's forest industries "had organized to work out reforestation problems on the privately owned forests of the state." The organization adopted the name California Forest Protective Assn.

Now this association, at its 1960 annual meeting in San Francisco, has elected Stanwood A. Murphy, vice-president and general manager of The Pacific Lumber Co., Scotia, Calif., to be its president heading the 51st year of the association's leadership in forestry in California.

Under industry leaders of 50 years ago, the CFPA sponsored and supported legislation creating the State Division of Forestry. Through a half-century of activities in the interest of good forestry in California, sound and workable laws affecting the ownership and harvesting of timber have been enacted through the efforts of the association.

In 1944, a Forest Practice Act was drafted by the CFPA. The State Board of Forestry and the Legislative Interim committee approved the act as drawn by CFPA and, with the addition of minor corrective amendments, recommended its adoption by the 1945 State Legislature. The Forest Practice Act became Chapter 85, Statutes of 1945.

' Serving as officers with Murphy are Warren A. Carleton, first vice-president ; Russell Johnson, second vice-president, and Paul E. Shively, third vice-president. W. R. Schofield of Berkeley was re-elected secretary-treasurer for his 16th consecutive term. John Callaghan of Sacramento was reappointed assistant secretary.
