Under sponsorship of the Wash-
Ington State Forestry Conference,
a More Trees for Washington pro-
gram is being launched this month,
to continue indefinitely.
Th primary objective of the
project, according to Knut Lun-
num, Extension Forester, who is
also director of the cooperative
program, is to increase woodland
production, resulting in greater
profits to woods owners and an in-
creased flow of raw materials for
forest industries.
"Timber is one of our top agri-
cultural products today," said Lun-
num. "Over 700 wood-using plants
directly employ more than 70,000
of our citizens. 0he-third of our
people directly or indirectly get
their living from the forest
"But important as our forest pro-
duction is now, it is well within the
realm of possibility to double it."
More Trees for Washington ia
distributing thousands of booklets
"Cash Crops from Washington
Woodlands" throughout the state.
Additional copies may he obtained
from county agents, soil conserva-
tion district supervisors, local for-
esters and others. Filmstrips and
motion picture shorts are also
carrying the message that forest
management pays dividends. Co-
operating in this project is the
American Forest Products Indus-
tries of Washington, D. C., a
national association of leading
lumber, pulp and paper and ply-
wood manufacturers.

BELFAIR PEOPLE
FAVOR PROPOSED
BRANCH LIBRARY
The Thurston-Mason County Li-
b,'ary with headquarters in Olym-
pia reports a very good response
from residents of the Belfair area
concerning the proposed branch
library The consensus of opinion
seems lo be thai:, the library would
be nlore convenient to use if it
wcre located in lhe shOl)ping dis-
trier.
Before the library can take def-
inite action in establishing this
b|'anci] in Belfair, the community
as a whole will need to come to
some decision as to location anti
make arrangements for providing
heat, light and shelving. The
scbool board, Miss Dorothy New-
kirk, Emmett Ori and any others
who have offered housing should
he contacted to see what part of
these responsibilities they can as-
sume, Lillian Collins, regional li-
brarian, said.
The names of the women who
gave expressed an interest in tak-
ing care of this library are being
held for considc|'ation after more
(lefinile plans for establishing the
br,neh library arc made.
