"Inside U.S.A.,' John Gmther giw's space to the lllnlher indus- try. My name "q)pears in his list of sources. This is a little c,m- barrassinf tn me. Actually I've been able to I'ind nothing ,,xcept the first parag'ral)i of the see- tion. "Wm'ds on Wood.' wiieh justifies the eredit. And it was my wife who l)roVided Mr. Gun- thor with this lead: "hre sat on a terrace n Seattle, and looked across the dancing blue saucer of Lake Washington; on the fa)' slore were banks o trees, and I l)eg:lu to learll a new vocabtdary. Halfway down the slope tim tree li]e stops, and patches in the forest are bare, like bald spots, but with a few trees left standing--'seed blocks,' as ttmy are called . . ." I Thereupon Mr. Gunther pro- eeed,; to get himself lost in busln slide-reek and down-tintbe for about 1500 "Words on Wood." This is too bad. :Fie is such a genial soul. He writes handsome- ly. Mainly Mr'. Gmther g o e S astray 0:3 his words and facts b5  what he has been led to believe they imply. Writing about the Douglas fir region', fro' example, he extols "selective logging," wl:en forestry states it won't work in 90 per cent of the Douglas fir forests--it is .t pine proposition, whi?e fir demands clear cutting witt seed blocks. He splits botan- ical hairs to deny that "timber is a crop" insisting that "the only authentie erop from a tree is the cone" -which is an absurd as it is to say that only the blossom mad seed of alfalla are a crop. No stalks ! Gqnther In Wonderland Little John has let one bureau- erat after another take him by his moist, grubby hand and lead him through a woodsy wonder- land, feeding him fairy stories all the while. There's the one about the vol- ume of sawtimber being reduced "ahnost 40 per cent" since 1908. John purses his mouth, and goes "Oo-oo!" over that one without a suspicion of its nonsense. As even the whistlepunks know, the forest statistics of today are yet conjectm'al---in 1.908 they were fantasy unalloyed, as the great gaps between various estimates of the period demonstrate. And there's the goblin that screams about virgin forests hav- ing been cut 'Tram an anginal acreage of 820,000,000 to about 100,000,000." Why the nightmare ? Of course that 100,000,000 acres will go.right on being reduced, to make wood products and also to provide more productive land "What's growing?" That is the question, not. "What's virgin?" Another nonsense horror of Gnnther's woodsy wonderland is this "From 1941 to 19,t5 the eoun- try as a whole ctff. about 16 bil- lion cubic feet of timber per year, whereas new growth only amount- .,ed to 11 billion cubic feet. Anti "the United States is still consum- ing, i.e.. destroying, half again as much as it grows." Bah! Ac- tually, in terms Of U.S. Forest Service latest figures, drain was 13.7 billion cubic feet in 194,t while growth was 13.4 billion cubic Lake Cushman The big event of the week at Cushman was the celebration of Del Laramie's fiftieth birthday. The Laramie house, was full of company all week. Their grand- daughters came to spend a fort- night, little Misses Agnes and Sandra Brydon of Tacoma. Mr. and Mrs. & E. McDonald and fam- ily from Paste spent two days visiting. Doctor and Mrs. Nor- man Dora and Miss Ann Brydon of Ellensburg spertt the entire week and a big celebration was held Sunday when a beautiful five layer birthday cak was cut. In- cluded ]n the Sunday celebration were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cole and on, Lotlnie, Of Shelton. Later in the evening the paty enjoyed an oyster fry on the new barbecue stove which Del recently bullt. Three day visitors of Mrs. Otto Radtke this week end were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lamaster of Se- attle who caught several large bass from Standstil lake. :Mrs. Dave Collips entertained hr niother, Mrs. Ida Hardisty o'f Tacoma, over Sunday. Guests of Les Sandvig and fam ily the past week Were Miss Vera Watson, sister of Mrs. Sandvig, Lynn Jansen of Fife and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Gnnn from Shelton. Mrs. Verne Hill was vistting in Tacoma, Shelton and Olympia five days last week, returning home Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mortensen and Mrs. Sarah Scheuermann of Seattle spent Sunday with the Ed- ward Radtkes. Don Brown and Les Sandvtg are not the only ones at Cushma;n who are building boats. Verne Hill and Bob McLachlan have started a fourteen-foot inboard motor boat which promises to be something worthwhile. On Monday, Mr. and Mrs. O. K. Linscott traveled to Milton to at- tend a birthday tancheon given by Mrs. M. F. McDonald for her mother, Mrs. A. !. Etherington who is Mrs. Linsco'tt's sister. While returning home from. a trip to Seattle on Friday on the Kalakata, Mrs. Edward Radtke met friends from DeKalb, Illinois, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Beckman and son. The Beckmans, who are owners of a .grocery store in De- Kalb, are on a vacation tou of the Pacific Northwest and were spending Friday seeing the Bem- erton Navy Yards. Residents of the Lake Cushman area wish to thank Roy Pierce and Duke Arnold, logging truck drivers for file Diekman Mills Logging operations, for their ,sl0w, careful driving down Cushman road.. Thanks to tli¢ir good driv: ing, Cushman road is safe for tourists and local people.
