SEATTIE POST.II{TEtIIGE}ICER EOITORIAT

The tollowing editorial eppsarod 0n the editorial page of The Seattle PostIntelligencer, Tuesdat, oclober 18: fhese products srldnd far beyond lumber and plywo0d, 0r even the yari0us types 0f prossed Doard. W.shington State has long since nosed out ilaine as the No. 1 woodpulp producing commonrealth in the nation, and its annual tonnage 0f pape. and paper products is now sizable. ington, long-time public relations consultant for the Crown-Zellerbach Corporation; the Master of Ceremonies, William H. Larson, chairman of the Chamber's F'orestry Committee; Tom W, Dolan, chairman, Forest Products Week in Seattle; Dr. IIenry Schmitz, honorary member of the Seattle Club, and Walter B. Nettleton No. 8728, age 82, one of the two oldest living members of the Seattle club, who represented the old-timers. The oldest member, Richard Dwight Merrill, age 91, No. 1115, was unable to attend because of his confinement in the hospital from recent eye surgery,

Was.it last weet or this which the President ofiicially designated as National Forest Products tUeek?

Well, tie actual date is hardly important to a region surh as the Puget Sound country 0r a slate called Wasiington. The very first weel of the tounding ot Seattle was lForest ProductE We0f"-because a cabin was built. and a contract made with a ship captain to load timber bound lor San Francisc6.

More than a decade before that, 0r. John Mcloughlin 0f Hudson's Bay Company had a nice little mill going at fort Van:ouyer, and his triend Dr, ilarcua Whitman war logging plne 0n tho westsrn slopes of the Blue lrlountains.

But that is no reason t0 male light of the Presidenfs proclamation or of th3 llational Lrmter Manutacturers Asaociation which recommended it. ilors than any other strte in tlre Union, this one has reason to be gratef[l lor this nation. wide attention to the Droducts ol w00d cellulose.

In briet, foreEt products now head the state's industrial Darade in numtet of employes and in value of production. And the biggest oyerall research Drogram ot the region is not in aircrafl or atomic energy or electronics, lt is the la[0ra. tories 0f the torest products industries.

Eest 0t all, the basic raw material-wood cellulose-is now taised as a cro!. in perpetuity. The first tree tarm in tte United States was ertrblished more thiti twenty years,ago in Wes-tern Washington. Enlightened folestrt management and adyanses in torest genetics now make possible the use of twenty-ftye 01 thirty year growths for an ever expanding list ot Drodl|cts t]om the tree.

S-o a salute t0 th_e forest producls industries, 0r rather t0 the poople engaged ln them. They are loggers and road builders. They are nill nen'anri scienitidts. They are eyen prelty secrelaries and typists in some headquartels high above a city street.

And it has beer a quaner century now since we met one who was not a con. seruationist in tfie full sense 0f the word.
