First Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit Approved I CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING .and cannot be detected by any of the senses. The Shelton, Washington, co operative sustained yield unit has been formally established, and a cooperative sustained yield agreement with the Simp son Logging company of Shel ton, Wash., has been executed by Lyle Watts, chief, U. S. forest service, according to word just received in Portland, Oregon, by H. J. Andrews, regional forester. Andrews states that the Shel ton unit is the first in the coun try to be established under the Act of March 29, 1911, which au thorizes the forest service to en ter into cooperative arrange ments with private timber own ers for the joint sustained yield management of public and pri vate forest resources. Object of the program, according to An drews, is to stabilize dependent forest communities. He said that the establishment of the Shelton unit would assure the lumber industry of the towns of Shelton and McCleary a supply of tim ber in sufficient quantity to maintain current production and pay rolls indefinitely. The agreement with the Simp son logging company runs for 100 years, according to the for est service. It covers 158 thou sand acres of company lands, with approximately 1 billion feet of private old growth timber. National forest resources includ ed total 111 thousand acres of land and 4 12 billion feet of timber. Anticipated- sustained yield allowable annual cut will be in the neighborhood or UU million board feet, it is said. The program just approved was the subject of a public hear ing held at Shelton on Septem ber 18. ! SOUNDED BY SECRETARY Carbon monoxide poisoning has been warned against by Sec retary of State Robert S. Farrell, Jr. Noting the cold weather, he said, "The average car has been in service much longer than anyone ever expected, and it may easily have developed leaks since last winter." Farrell said he has observed over a period of years that the traffic death rate swings up diiing the winter months due to poor visibility and slippery streets. This year he fears in addition an increased number of carbon monoxide cases. Asked how to guard against carbon monoxide, Farrell cited three main dangers: (1) warm ing up cars in closed garages; (2) leaking exhaust systems and floor boards; and (3) faulty manifold-type car heaters. Twenty-two hundred Ameri can lives were claimed by poi son gases last year. Of these, approximately one-fourth were were taken by carbon monoxide. Contrary to frequent opinion, this gas is completely odorless r Here to attend the AAA meet ing at the court house Tuesday were A. C. Houghton and W. S.
