W. Robb, chairman of the Oregon committee of Amer ican Forest Products Indus tries, Inc. The nation's progress in forestry in recent years has been phenomenal, the indus try spokesman said. , Latest government timber appraisals show that for the first time this century, the country is growing timber faster than it is being re moved for harvest and lost through the inroads of fire, insects and disease. Robb went on to praise Oregon State college's school of forestry for its leadership in the forestry education field. Fires Take Big Bite in Resource Dallas - Every forest fire takes a bite out of Oregon's biggest resource. Sam Robb of Willamette Valley Lumber company, Dal las, chairman of the Oregon committee of American For est Products Industries, said that forest fires which sap the state's economic wealth ultimately hit every Oregon ian in the pocketbook. Oregon forest industries employ some 87,000 full-time workers and produce goods worth $1 billion annually, he said. They depend on the Beaver state's green and growing forest . empire for raw materials.

Forest Products Industry Is Important to Area's Economy The state's big forest prod ucts industry will continue to be a keystone in Oregon's economy for a long time to come, and an increasingly im portant one to the economy of southern Oregon in particular. This prediction was made by Glenn Duysen, president of Southern Oregon Conserva tion and Tree Farm associa tion, in a recent report to the organization which also stress ed the importance of local ob servance of National rorest Products Week. Pointing up the timber in dustry's basic role in the state's economy, Duysen said that forest products plants now account for 56 per cent of the manufacturing jobs in the state. This is roughly 6 out of every 10 Industrial jobs in the state. In addition, he noted, some 2,500 persons are employed In the state in allied indus tries engaged in supplying for est firms with machinery, equipment and supplies. He said forest products industry payrolls represent 58 per cent of the state's total manufac turing payroll, and 23 per cent of its total payroll, from all sources except agriculture. Will Hold Position He predicted that the for est industry would hold or even increase its relative po sition In the state's growing economy. Higher-value prod ucts, new uses and processes and fuller utilization of the wood in every tree are creat ing more economic stimula tion and more payroll dollars MainsDiina of Jackson County's Economy LUMBER :BrWri mJT -wu n w mm . . 11 A i ' B . - ' mmnrn imi i -'r: . i 9 .jmmw-A w " m mm mm at - - i-mm a bet . i-:S-, mm, lisi .nj - mmm - . .mm -..t-im:-. t mm mi ,j bbbbbbbb m,-mm 4m bi . a .'W mm ' I mmm I 'I W m I mW a V fc Ih.
