ment of forest and range policy in the United States from earliest colonial times to the present. The developments relating to a particular subject are discussed together within the different periods. Special attention is paid to the forces that have been instrumental in controlling the evolution of policy, and to the legislation which has been the means of expressing policy. A good deal of emphasis is placed on Federal policies, partly because major developments in policy have usqally centered around Federal activities.

All the material is strictly up to date and covers fully the recent striking advances in private forestry. Three valuable appendixes are included-

A. The firsi provides a brief survey of Federal policies dealing with wildlife, soil, water, and mineral resources, often closely related to forest and range policy.

B. The second is invaluable for reference purposes: it brings together for the first time in compact, usable form a complete list of major events in the development of Federal policy relating to the conservation of all natural resources, with exact citations for all legislation and Supreme Court decisions.

C. The third gives a selected. bibliography. FOREST AND RANGE POLICY, as a reference for students of forestry, range management, and other fields of natural-resource manag'ement, will prove of inestimable v4lue. It will also be helpful to professional men and executives in business and government, and to the general reader with an interest in the subiect.

Russions See WGLA Film

A motion picture on use of west coast lumber in home construction was one of six selected by the State Department for showing to Russian audiences in connection with the recent tour of Russia by U. S. builders. This beautiful full-color and sound movie, "Lumber for Homes," was filmed in the northwest by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association under direction of its advertising and promotion manager, Robert E. Mahaffay.

Because the filmed sequences convey their message so clearly, it was decided by the State Department that it would not be necessary to provide a sound track in the Russian language. "Lumber for Homes" is one of several films by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in the past three or four years which have had widespread showing on television and in theatres.
