New Type 4-H Clubs Give Youth Forestry Training Oregon 4-H club boys and gi-ls have a "head start" on Uncle Sam's reforestation army in becoming ac quainted with and helping to solve the state's forestry problems. Forestry, which began its 4-K club career in a small way some five years ago, Is entering its second year as a standard club project in Oregon on a par with the various branches of agriculture and home economics. The work consists es sentially of reforestation, tree Iden tification, use of simple forestry In struments, forest trips, wild life study, wood utilization, and th? planning and making of an exhibit Club boys and girls too have taken up the new project with gre t enthusiasm, planting thousands of trees obtained from the state for estry nursery at Corvallis, clearing land, building trails, camp grounds and cabins, and becoming proficient in tree identification. In Tillamook county the county court last year turned an 80-acre tract over to the 4-H foresters for a laboratory, and this year these youngsters are ob serving the results of their previous efforts, while preparing for another season's activities. In Lane county the 135 clubbers who completed the forestry project last year prepared two public for est camp sites In the national for ests as a part of their work. In many other sections of the state, too, forestry is one of the most pop ular projects. "Bringing the practical lessons of forestry to the 4-H club boys and girls is one of the most helpful movements along forestry lines la recent years," says George W. Pea vy, dean of the school of forestry at Oregon State college.

Avl- Large Heads FEB HEAD - EXTRA SPECIALS FOR FRI., SAT., MON., MAY 19, 20, 22, Inclusive May 9, 1933 A great thing has occurred amongst us. We have made a completa turn-around, and at last America's face is toward 'the future. Three years 1929 to 1932 we Americans looked backward. All our old financial and political machinery was geared to pull us out of the depression by the same door through which we entered. We thought it simply a case of going back the way we came. It failed. We now realize that the way out is forward through it. Thanks for that belongs to President Roosevelt. Inauguration Day he turned the Ship of State around. Having observed the failure of sincere efforts to haul us back the way we came, he designed a new method new political and financial machinery to pull us out the way we are going forward. He is clearing international obstacles out of the way; he does not stand in awe of tariffs. The people' begin to feel that he does not take advice from the "inter ests" ; that he has courage and loyalty to work for one supreme interest only the welfare of the American people. That is a big achievement for two months in office. And now we all look to what is coming; we grow less and less concerned with what is behind. We are looking for a hand-hold on the haul rope. Every man wants to do what he can, and all he can. The best thing I can do for the Country is to create industry by building good motor cars. If I knew anything better to do, I would do it. Industry must be my contribution. Motor cars must face ahead to the future, like everything else. They are so much a part of the Nation's daily life that if they, lag behind they hold the Country back.
