Funds From County Used to Purchase Chairs at McCaw Mrs. R. I. Thompson The orchids this week should go to the women in Walla Walla who did some shopping with our check for $150. When you read this report I hope you will agree with me- They bought 7 new occasional chairs, most attractive and easy, a foot stool and end table that went with one of the chairs. They found 16 used chairs in very good condition, bought some leather and paid for new cushions for two Morris chairs. They felt eo pleased to find the Morris chairs as they are a favorite with the boys. So with our $150 they bought 23 chairs, an end table and a foot stool and we know that many boys will be more com fortable The foot stools sent from this county received a wonderful wel come as they were so sturdy and well built, so much better than those you can buy at this time. These went into wards to be used by boys from Alaska and they will mean so much comfort to a boy on crutches. The hand fans, which were over looked last week were given by Mrs. L. D. Neill and were much appreciated. They were taken to the movies in the recreational hall and used here and there all over the hosiptal. Credit for this idea should go to Mrs. Owen Leathers of Hardman. She suggested some time ago sne could start some plants from some choice geranium; The idea met with the approval of Mrs- Burns, field director of McCaw hospital and if anyone has nice plants which could be slipped and grown into good winter blooming plants, we would they were sent to McCaw. This does not mean to wait until late fall and call some one to get your plants but if you are interested you will start to pot them now so they will bloom during the winter months. At this time the committee is look ing for a very small, light pioio which we wish to purchase for Mc Caw. A small one to be taken from ward to ward so the patients in bed can enjoy the pleasure such a gift would bring. All those able to walk or be wheeled can go to the recreation building and enjoy pro grams and shows that are put on there at regular intervals. If any one has such a piano please con tact either Mrs. Fred Mankin of lone or the chairman, Mrs. Ralph Thompson. In closing this week I v;l:h to make it plain that if anyone was overlooked in our county-wide so liciting for funds it was not inten tional. If you feel you want to help with this work and have not done so, they are still collecting funds for us at the bank or you can leave your money with Miss .- Florence Bergstrom at the county agent's of fice as she is secretary-treasurer of the Morrow county committee.

Long past is the period when forests were cut to provide fields for agriculture. This is no longer necessary and the land now classified as forestland can be kept intact for the purpose of growing more trees. We are in an era of managed forestry, an the forest industries, looking ahead, plan for the continuous production of tree crops. We have learned that trees are a crop and, as such, can keep on producing use ful harvests for the future.
