I TIMBERLINE 8—The Mill Ciity tiiterprise, Thursday, July 21, I960 By John E. Kenneth Joint use of forest land must be more than just tolerated, it must be developed and expand ed as a desirable goal in order to make limited land go farther in meeting human needs. This was the gist of an ad dress before the recent Olympic Logging Congress in Victoria. B. C. by H. R. Glascock Jr., | >f Portland, forest counsel for Western Forestry and Conser vation association. Glascock said loggers recog nize that most forest land is adapted to joint use, that the simultaneous use of land for I water and wildlife along with ■ timber production is indeed well nigh unprevent able. Roads de veloped by logging, he added, I become key access roads for I recreationists. HEINS DUTCH MAID Honey Margarine 5 lb. Pail .. 4 lbs.

I Such a development would pro- I vid a broad new industrial base for Oregon. "We’re only about 10 years away from it.” says Dr. Ed ward G. Locke, director of the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wise. "And in anotb- ' er 50 years lignin (the 'glue* I which nature uses to hold the I fibers of the trees together) along may be a major source ¡of industrial chemicals." Tile world's chemical Indus try is anchored largely to coal , and petroleum deposits, which I are limited and non-renewable. j But tree farming would assure j constant replenishments for a | new chemical industry based ion the resources of the forest.

Author Stewart Holbrook records in his book, "Holy Old Mackin aw?" that Benson kept his woods running when others closed for the usual long Fourth of July shutdown by bringing a barrel of free whiskey into camp. That way they’d lose only a day or two instead of a couple of weeks.
