servation follows:
, CONSERVATION OF ,
OUR FOREST
The tree; did you ever stop to
think what it means to you, your
family, and your friends. Ever
since the beginning of time, man
has depended upon trees. The early
pioneers depended largely upon
trees for their living. Their Tiomes
were made of the wood from the
forest, and the deer and other
game, for which they depended
upon for food was also found In' the
forest. New uses for wood were
found; today plastic, rayon, ply
wood, our homes and many other
useful things are made from wool.
Man soon realized that the forest
land of our country, was fast dis
appearing. Less wildlife was seen
by one on a drive through the
country,. There became less and
less forest land. Man realized he
must do something to conserve the
trees or soon there would be none
left.
We will raise trees Just as we
raise wheat and other crops,", he
said. This way we will have forests
for many, many years to come.
This was the beginning of tree
farming. Trees on these farms will
take from seventy-five to one hun
dred years to ripen. Nobody wants
to wait that long, of course, but
by careful forest management you
can have a ccpp coming on all the
time. Baby trees, young trees, teen
age trees, and mature trees may
all grow together In one 1st.
Today many organizations such
s the Scouts, U.S. Forest Service,
and the National Park Service,
help to conserve our forest. The
Scouts are very helpful in fighting
forest fires and planting trees. The
U.S. Forest Service la connected
with the conservation of the natural

out the parks.
irees have enemies Just as other
living things have. We must protect
them. Fire is the greatest enemy
of our forest. We have fire lookouts
but It is not enough. Civilians
should always be on the lookout for
forest fires. Insects are the1 next
greatest enemy to the forest. The
forest service has done much to
stop this great enemy. The diseased
trees have been cut and other trees
sprayed with an insecticide, ' and
now this great enemy is almost
under control.
Trees are truly one of our great-
cow uuiurai resources, mis is-why,
you and I. as citizens of the United
States. Should loin thA mnnu uhn

Security Risks
Believed Few
WASHINGTON Ifi Congress
has been told that about 15 of
some 11.000 Bureau of Reclama
tion employes are possible secur
ity risks.
In testimony given early last
month and made publlo Wednes
day, Reclamation Commissioner
W. A. Dexheimer told a House
appropriations subcommittee that
these 15 are stationed outside of
Washington.
Dexheimer said no employes had
been discharged but that two re
signed when they learned the bu
reau was prepared to prefer
charges. He mentioned no names.
Dexheimer said that investiga
tions since he took over the bureau
a year or so ago have disclosed
only two persons believed to be
security risks.
"There are others under Investi
gation: I do not know what the
determination will be on those. But
everybody is being given very
critical review.'' he said.
The bureau is to the process of
getting security risks off the pay
roll. Dexheimer said.
