DAT OIL FORESTS E ORIGIN NTED Committee Reviews History, Extent and Significance of Vast Forests WASHINGTON. (Special) Thirty some years ago a president was threatened with impeachment for the creation of national for ests in the west. , Today the national forest has become an accepted institution of theAmerican people and its pop ularity Is shown by the powerful public protests made at various attempts to infringe upon these public psoperties. So the American Forest Week committee here says in a state ment regarding the supoprt given the federal forest policy made in connection with the observance of American Forest Week, April 23 to'30. It was in Cleveland's second term, the committee relates, that he was threatened with impeach ment for creating additional for est reserves "without an act of congress. Patrolled and protected by uni formed rangers, the western na tional forests of today with their network of trails, Toads and tele phone lines, and fire lookouts, were originally "wild lands of the. public domain, where mountain eer and plainsmen had free run of the timber and grazing, and de vastating fires burned unchecked. A brief history of the develop ment of the national forests which take up 153,000.000 acres of land in the west, including Alaska, is recalled by the American Forest Week committee.

Far into the distance the , blossoming orchards may be seen. There are pure white blossoms, delicate pink tint ed blossoms, while intermingled among these orchards thedark. green firs lend a splendid setting for the picture.

Then far in the ' distance the Cascade range of mountains may be seen, serving as a dim back ground for the entire picture. Ma jestic snow clad' mountain peaks add grace and beauty to the scene as the sun's rays bring out each high and low place. They seem to serve as the white pillars for the blue vaulted heavens.
