No books are better read nor more widely distributed

*,' thttt the 3?-page, pocket-size manuals on Forest Laws and li! Practices inihe Dbugtas fir region, just released separately *, for Oreson and Waihineton.-Eighi times since 1941, the t , Industrfil Forestry Assdciation has compiled the .revised forest laws for each state into compact manuals which fit a logger's pocket. The new- Oregon -code changes ar.e in .one manual and newest Washington forest laws are found.tn another.

Every logger in western Washington and western Oregon gets a inanl-at free of charge containing the condensed forEst.code for his state. Issuance of the booklets is timed to coincide, says IFA president Nils Hult, with the first real li fire weather of the season.

The purpose of the manuals, Hult points out, is not only i to brief fir region loggers on their individual s.tlte's forestry

Resisting Eorthquoke loods

A summarv report covering a test program to demonstrate the- adequacy of vermiculite concrete as a horizontal diaphragm-is now available from Vermiculite Institute,208 South LaSalle St., Chicago 4. Test results show that Vermiculite concrete roof decks have a hieh safety factor in resisting earthouake loads. ThJ tests. were directed by S. B' Barnds, consulting structural engineer of Cdifornia.

This report,is of special interest in areas subje.ct to seismic diiturbances, since it has become increasingly imoortant in such areas to determine the ability of roof deik materials to resist lateral forces and to function as a horizontal diaPhragm' laws, but to strengthen these laws by recommendations for tree farming.

New thiJ ear in the manuals is a section recommending oractices for'stabilizing forest soils. A six-point program for loil stabilizing includis: 1) road location and. design to *i"i*i". soil irovem ent, 2) 'permanent roads to- be properly drained, 3), avoid stream beds for logging Joa{s, 4) lnstalt waterbars'on steep skidroads and spur roads afte-r logging' 5) chunk debris orit of streams afterlogging, and 6) sidecast fiom road building should be kept qut gf- streams'

In a foreword ib each manual, President Hult says that state laws are minimum practices, and recommends the ttinn.i ti"e farm standardi for all operations. Highlighted thioughout the booklets is the ry99sag.e of fire prevention, uigi"p loggers to help Keep Wasliington and Oregon Green.
