JdSTEVEnS
The Golden Year ...
This is the year in which the
men and women of the -U. S.
Forest Service look back a full
half-centurjr to the day when
President Theodore Rooseveit,
with Secretary of Agriculture
Tama Jim Wilson and Chief For
ester Giff ord Pinchot, opened the
present national forest system
for business.
The nation's forests were to
be managed from 1905 onward
as a public business of conserv
ing timber, grass and water, on
a pattern of "wise use" for the
greatest good of the greatest
number.,
"Wise use" is yet the watch
word of the green country -conservators.
But in the modern
national forest, with its wilder
ness wildlife areas and. reserva
tions for recreation, , "popular
use" is added to the old rule.
And popular use of our outdoor
resources is too often unwise use,
as national and state park sup
erintendents and tree farm man
agers have also discovered.
More on the Move ... '
Even as educators are burn
ing the midnight oil over prob
lems of providing more class
rooms for the record-breaking
baby crops of recent years, so
the forest administrators are con
cerned with a prospective terri
fic annual increase in the size
of the forest-using public through
the next 20 or 25. years.
The legislators,, toq, in Olym
pia and Salem and Washington,
D.C., are working day ancTnight
on the" hard facts of population
growth and its rising traffic
streams. Their basic view is
that of the everyday driver or
trucker who is trapped in traffic
congestion on city streets or on
the highways between cities and
towns."
So great tollway systems are
on the legislative programs.
There will be multi-billions of
Federal dollars provided to aid
the states in making more traf
fic room for automobiles, busses,
trucks and trailers.
The steady rise in the pros
perity of the average American
family is another source of the
problem. Now the new family
car can be driven farther than
ever before and longer vacations
may be enjoyed. So the sum
mer traffic stream between Ash
land, Ore., and Bellingham,
Wash., is multiplying on two
factors population growth and
more vacation travel by the aver
age family. .
The Blue Ridge Trail ... ;
The owners of large tree farms
that are on the tourist track have
already , begun to employ spe
cialists in outdoor recreation,
particularly in relation to hunt
ers and fishermen. The resident
population of the region is also
growing and,, again, the new na
tional prosperity yields the aver
age . : in onnwest ? lamily moreJ
money for recreation.-' ' '
So the ' popular use of private
tree farm lands and public na
tional forest lands grows on and
on. - There is: certainly a limit
to what any owner of commercial
forest land can do in cooperation
with this , massively expanding
public in the woods. .
One way out might be through
promotion of "tollways.to tim
berline," rough but usable routes
to the purely recreational areas,
the non-commeriial Alpine tim
ber of the national forests of the
Oregon - Washington Cascades.
With them, the long-projected
trail below the snow peaks and
above timberline, along the blue
ridge of the- range, should be
completed, developed . and . ex
ploited. - - - ' - -
In . other words, let's all go Jo
work on the problem ' by. doing
our utmost to route forest recrea
tion to -the places where '.it be
longs ' in non-commercial rec
reational forest areas.
