ance of flowers climbing over the gar

growing luxuriantly about the mur
muring spring which was covered with
moss. A sly crescent moon peeked
from behind a tall flr to add romance
and to see all that happened.

ers from the sophomore clnss clad in

ment that he did not represent such in
stitutions as the asylums and prisons.
He told about the boys who work in
the New York exchange and are almost
all of high school age. He also spoke
of the references usually given by ap

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.
Dean Peavy, and other prominent
forestry men in Oregon and the
Northwest are giving the boys and
girls and the state club department
valuable assistance with the new
project

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.
