The Bil of Rights-Our Printed Flag About this time each year special emphasis is placed upon the Bill of, Rights, the first ten amendments to our Constitution, and a week is designated as Bill of Rights Week. This is in keeping with our custom of designating practically every week to some worthy cause. However, the Bill of Rights is'much too important to be filed away and hauled out only once a year for observation and study. -The Bill of Rights is America’s most priceless posses— s’ion'1 It‘ should hang on the wall in every school, church hall, public meeting place, and in every home in America. We salute the flag but no one can understand its mean- ing Without understanding the Bill of Rights. It is THE PRINTED FLAG. The Constitution and it are founded on the religious conviction that every human life is sacred. They assure freedom, and release the creative powers of men. As shield and armor, they protect life, liberty and prop- erty-,- for you and your children.

Christmas Tree . . . Thanksgiving over and Christ- mas rushing up with its tinseled trees sparkling in the windows. Christmas trees! Another bounty of the forest. How much joy has been given mankind by just this one small item from the woods? Wherever there are children there is the urge for a tree in the living room at Yuletide. The Christmas tree is one of the first v of countless years before .maIL holiday symbols to register on a? child’s mind, and it stays withl that child always. That's why even today, in the midst of a, terrible war, we still have the, Christmas tree, and always will, we hope. 3 But will there always be ever-l greens for Christmas trees? I We wanted to find out about' this, so took a bus ride down to Shelton, the mecca of Christmas trees. More trees are shipped from that vicinity than any other county on the coast, they say. Just think, more than a million every year! ; Well sir, war or no war, Shelton ‘ is shipping this year as many as ever before, and the reason is that people want them, in fact, insist‘von having them at Christ-i mas time. “The Christmas Tree Crop . . . Truckloads of Douglas fir trees neatly tied in bundles were com- ,ing in from the forests and be- ing stowed in box cars for ship- ment to California. Out in the woods the cutters were busy, and at the landings people were trim- ming stems to uniform lengths and bundling the trees according to size. A million trees, from just a few sections of land! That's a lot, you say. But look at the land. Fir trees everywhere. They have been cutting Christmas trees on this land every year for 20 years, and still there is a. heavy crop. Even where the cutters were this year you realize they can out again next year and after. Obviously: this land is good for reproducing firs and will never fail, barring fires. , The 'truth is that most of the Christmas tree operators in thel Shelton area are cutting in such a way that they will have a crop i every year. They are in' business to stay. They prune and cultivate during the summer, encouraging, bushy symmetrical limb growth! They out just so many each year from an acre—mo more than they know the land will produce on a continuous basis. Some of them even grow a. new tree out of the stump of the old. They do this by leaving one strong limb on‘ the first whorl below the cut. This limb soon straightens up and I becomes a tree. No, there's no danger of everl running out of Christmas trees,; or other trees, providing we are careful of fire. And that is a good thing to think about, for the' wealth of the forest provides so many people with a living. So many that it might well be said that every tree is in a sense a. Christmas tree. 1 Trees Serve Man . . . A man named Grif Alexanderi once put it this way: . “All trees are Christmas tres.:' “Where there are no trees great nations die and wandering tribes cross the waste lands from one, oasis to another, for the tree is life and the joy of living. “Every tree bears gifts. The! fruit trees come with their lar-i gesse, and their bounty they plen~ tifully bestow upon us, We par-l take of nuts and apples and or-‘ one \‘Dl ?.=...666I Cold Preparations as directed ' Fiery lichingSkin?

They gave him, food, they gave him shelter, they gave him wherewithal to clothe his body. “For the trees had the wisdom walked erect and began to ask himself questions. And they stor- ed the fue1.for the fires without which man could not hope to forge the tools that enabled him to work wonders with wood, boats and wagons and houses and furn- iture. “For all the trees are Christ- mas trees, all the year around, all the world over, for Peace dwells among them and good will is ever manifest.” Troopl—Z Scouts Enjoy Outing Sixteen members of S c o u t Troop 12 and their scoutmaster,_ C.
