Dear \{ax:

In rearling lhe "Merchant" issue of Novcmber 15, I was ren.rincled that I should have tolcl you about our East Oakland l{otary Club meeting of October 13 of this year. I guess I failed to tell you last year also, of the fact that our guest speaker was DeWitt "Swede" Nelson, Director of Dcpartment of Natural Rcsources, State of California. Swede macle an excellent talk on the occasion of First Annual Ii'orest Proclucts Week, and I plan to present an annual pro- giam in order to keep forest products before our Rotary Club.

Our speaker on October 13 of this year was Dr. John Zivnuska, Professor of Forestry and acting director of the School of Forestry, Llniversity of California. He spoke on "Money Grows on I rees: Califoruia's Forest Proclucts Industry." He told me that he had worked on the famed Forest Products study done by the Stanford Research Institute for Weyerhaeuser a few years ago, ancl that he harl been on special assignments as a visiting lecturer in Norway and had rlone a study for the United Nations in Thailand. Professor Zivnuska brought out a number of the facts ancl figures so well described by I,Ir. Antoville at his I..A. Rotary address.

I didn't ballyhoo this year's meeting quite so much as 1960, at which time I plastereil our meeling room with poslers, elc., and also had Rrubaker of CRA as nry seconcl guest. This year I had Vic Roth and Tony Tay- lor ancl Pete Hohn of Errreka Mill at the head table. Next vear. I will remember to ask you ro be on hand; I must confess I failed badly in not inviting the Official l)ress of the lumber inclustry-his nibs, Max Cook ! Sorry!-Ed La Franchi, Oakland, California.
