It would have been hard to find a comparable home in a sawmill town of the last generation. In those days, tar paper shacks housed workers who knew their jobs would disappear as soon as the adjacent timber was cur.

Today, the idea of a permanenr foresr, of "timber cropping," is replacing the "cut out and get out" operation. This house at Oakridge is visible proof of a new era in the lumber industry.

At Oakridge, Pope & Talbot hope to establish a Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit together with the Forest Service. This Unit would underwrite the community development rcalized thus far. It would rnean an everlasting foresq a permanent mill, a permanent community . . . and a permanent source of quality lumber for our customefs.
