Russiqn Forestry Woes

Serious shortcomings continrretl to plague Soviet forestrt' operations this year. according to a surley underiaken by Radio Liberty, a private agency which broadcasts to behind the Iron Curtain. These are some of the prohlems said to be besetting Sor itt [or,.slry ofEt ials.

"A gap exists betrveen tht: r'olume of tirnher crrt and replenishing of the forcsts. l,ittle c:onsideration is given to draining wet forest art'as. Lumber enterpriscs allow serious infractions o{ the rules of lorest management in the forest o{ the llussian Repub lics. The level of mcchanization in the timber industry remains exlremelv low. l'orestry machines and equipment are produced hy industry in insulficient qrrantitv and are of low qualitv. Forest fires also do great economic damage. The economic councils do not build errough fire-preventiorr roads and do not take adequate measures for ertirrgui,.hing forest fires."

HANKSGIVING DAY is turkey day. Some bird, that tur' key! Iflhether you consider him historically or as the centerpiece foi a big hom. ditttter, he plays a splendid part in our national life. Weli said the poet when he wrote: o'To feed the hungry pilgrims, he suffered and he bled and yielded up his plumage to make a feather bed." His praise should be sung by our bravest and best. He needs the sort of eulogy that my friend John Bonner once gave the Texas chicken' John was inviting a convention oJ Hoo-Hoo to hold their next meeting in Texas and he said: "I invite you in the name oI those yaller-legged Texas chickens, who raise their raucus voices in the wee small hours of the morn' ing, testifying to their willingness to fulfill the destiny provided foi them by their maker, and lay down their simple lives that you may feast."

The football season is with us. Football is a blessing for this weary world. It is a grand sport for those who watch, and for those who play. Football teaches young men the value of things that will lu.t ih"- all through their lives. They learn the fine returns that come for an investment in clean living; they learn the value of cooperation; they learn the great worth of enthusiasm; they learn that men in teams who won't be beaten are hard to beat. They likewise learn that it takes strong men to 'be good losers; that hard beatings temper the quality of men and football teams. The lesson the young man learns in football he carries with him all his life.

And now let us talk about my favorite poet. His name was RudyardKipling.

Think of this man, Kipling. No divine right made him a king, but he was more than any king has ever been; he was genius unquestionable; a flaming mentality that wrote its mark so high and so definitely on the scroll of time, that it will never be erased. God touched him with that brush of genius. Kipling became immortal long before his death. God not only gave him immortality, but bequeathed to him the right to delegate immortallty. Will the characters he built, the songs he sang, thc stirring philos-

BY JACK DIONNE

ophies he penned, the mighty patriotism he painted ever die, think you ?

As long as Britain lives-yes and perhaps long afterw-ardas long a-s the English tongue is spoken; the words of Kipling will remain deeply imprinted in the minds and upon the liier-1tu1e of rnankind. A thousand years hence, when the passing of Kipling's own soul has been long forgotten, men will sit with lumps in their throats as they listen 1o that mighty song of the passing of the soul of Danny Deever. * * * t

Will Mulvaney ever die? He who had been a corporalo but r'vas "rejuced"? Wili the Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady and their proclaittt"d under-skin sisterhood, ever cease to be? Will the time !u", "o*" when the devotion of that Lazarooehian leother Gunga Din will cease to be solace to the souls of men? Will Britain ever cease to spring to attention at 'oOh, God of Hosts be with us yet, lest we foiget, lest we forget?" Will the Eton school boys rallying cry, o'Play up, play up, and play the game," ever be forgotten? Will the Road to Mandalay ever be less a thorough{are of romance and of sentiment than it*is ,*"t?* *

We ought to have a "Read Kipling" year, the world over. We should read again, and learn again, and live again in the companionship of - his immortal characters and words. One of the sweetest things he ever wrote was the introduction to "The Seven Seas," in which he apologizes for stealing stories. "When 'Omer tuned his bloomin' lyre," he said, "'e'd 'eard men sing by land and sea, and what 'e thought 'e might require, 'e went an' took, the same as me. They knowed 'e stole. 'e knew they knowed. They didn't cry or make a fuss. Just winked at 'Omer up the road. An' 'e winked back, the same as us'"

So kings will come and kings will go, but there will be no more Rudyard Kiplings to brighten and enthuse and entertain and inspire faltering men. Let us be grateful, therefore, that his thoughts and his words and the men and women who flame across his pages, are left behind as OUR heritage, immortalized by his genius, utterly indestructible.
