National Forest Recreation Im portant Says Forester The recreational use of the national forests has large economic as well as social potentialities, ac cording to a statement just issued by chief forester F. A. Silcox, Washington, D. C. He says tthat scores of communities within or adjoining the national forests, pre viously dependent upon mining or logging or other commercial acti vities which have dwindled or dis appeared, find in service to the national forest visitors satisfac tory new forms of commercial and industrial activity. Tlie- forester further points out that “where a summer home is erected under permit on national forest land at an average rental ol *15.00 per year, the counties' share in that rental is $3.75, plus the taxes on the improvements, and there are 12,218 such permits now in effect. AA'here a national forest area is occupied by a hotel, resort, or out door camp, at an average rental of perhaps $50.00 a year, the counties’ share in the rental is $12.50 plus taxes on the improvements. Tnere are 1.270 such permits now out standing.” “The forest sen ire feels very strongly”, says Silcox, “that in re lation to the national forests the principle of multiple use. controll ed and coordinated bv a single ad ministrative agency having full re sponsibility for all scli-.’i ie.i within a given unit of administration, is much the superior method, intensi fied recreational development al ways bears an intimate relation ship to the utilization of timber, forage, water, or mineral resources or fire prevention or improvement construction; and all these activi ties in turn vitally influence the practicability of maximum recrea tional use. If all the elements of the problem can be adjusted and co ordinated by a single responsible agency of government, the net re sult usual y w ill be far more satis factory." Silcox says that the forest service is fully appreciative of the grow ing importance of the recreational use of Ihe national forests and now recognizes it as a major service in many regions.
