WITHSTANDS TEST OF TIME Simple hand tools and rough pins boards make this Colonial Hutch easy to build at home. Versatile and attractive, it has been a popular addition to any home from colonial times through the present. , Colonial Day Wood Items Still Are Popular Today The Colonial Hutch illustrated provides ample proof the do-it-yourself movement was as popu lar during colonial times as it is today. With simple hand tools and rough pine boards, settlers created and built furniture to serve many different needs. A visit to Williamsburg, Va., pro vides ample proof of the endur ing appeal, versatility and at tractiveness of these pieces. Since they are as popular now as in Colonial times, the design t and usefulness has withstood the test of time. Measuring 34" x 60", the top permits using as a table in the kitchen or family room, living or playroom. The large space be neath the, seat provides ideal storage for fireplace logs, while doubling as a fireside bench. When installed in an entrance hall or porch, the cabinet pro vides a perfect catch-all for overshoes, sporting equipment, games and toys. No matter where it's used, it serves long and well. The pattern offered below tells exactly how to build the table in step-by-step procedure every one can understand. All materi als required are stock size avail able in lumberyards every where.

Sustained Yield Plan Guards Area Forests By NORMAN COULD Forest products produced in the Klamath Basin are many and varied, but alt of these products come from the natural resource timber. In the termi nology of the forester or the lumberman, standing trees or timber are e a U e d stumpage. Trees or stumpage, as well as lumber, are measured in units of thousands of board feet. A typical ponderosa pine tree 36" in diameter and about !20 feet tail wmild contain approximate ly 2.dbo hoard feet of lumber when sawed at the mill. An av erage trucktoad of logs travel ing the highways in the Basin might contain 8,000 board feet of logs. The major species of trees used by Klamath Basin mills are Ponderosa pine, Douglas f i r, and Sharta red fir. The Winema National Forest and some oilier large timber land owners manage their tim ber under a sustained yield program. Simply put, tins means that the forest manager selects an amount of ripe tim ber for cutting each year, equal to the amount of timber which grows on his land each year. The determination of how much timber may be cut from an area in one year is an inter esting process First, a timber inventory is made. By a samp ling process, the forester deter mines how many thousands of board feet he has on his land and the age and condition of this limber. The sampling procedure also tells the forester what growth he may expect in his stand of timber. The forester must consider the economics of removing and sawmilling vari ous types and grades of logs into lumber. Logs too small in size, or with an abundance of rot. are presently not economic to haul to the sawmill and cut into boards. As operating costs drop, or when wood technology improves, more of present day uneconomic logs may be hauled and sawed in the mpls. After the forester analyzes all of the data taken from an inventory, he arrives at' an allowable an nual cut measured in board feet. The national forest lands in the Klamath Basin, made up of the Winema and a part of the Fremont National Forest and called the Klamath Basin Work- ! tag Circle, presently have an al lowable annual cut of 183,000, 000 board feet, A re-inventory ot these lands was recently com pleted and calculations are being made at this time in order to develop a new allowable cut When this determination of al lowable cut is made, it will re main in effect for the next ten years and, at the end of this pe riod, a new inventory and a new calculation will be made. The forester's job of marking individual trees for cutting in or der to'market the allowable cut has an objective of improving the growth of the stand of timber. A healthy young stand of pole-steed trees may grow as much as 300 board feet per acre per year, in contrast, an over ripe, diseased stand of trees may have no n?t growth because var ious tree diseases and insects kill enough timber to exceed the jjrou-ih eacts vear. .3 Nation Continues To Boast Healthy Tree Crop! NEW VORK (UPi)-tt may come as a surprise to seme city dwellers, who can't see hi leaves for the buildings, but this nation continues to grow a healthy cropy of trees. And. at the same time, ae cording to an overseas source, the supply of timber in Europe is shrinking and thereby creat ing ait export market for the United States, a market in which some firms now are ac tively engaged. The American Forest Product Industries, Inc., a trade group, recently reported m the results of a nationwide public opinion survey made for the industry by Opinion Hesesrch Corp. It show ed that 56 per cent of the per sons sampled did not realiie that the forests ot the nation are growing wood faster than it is being used or tost to blight, insects or fire. The report on the survey said the forest products industry has a "major challenge" to convincing people that the na tion's forest resources are not being depleted; that managed t 5 v Of i fl if .rMVSSWHP I J. jttlfc'' '"! 01 .rsscAS .,.'7't;.-.... wjf,..m an, age taswaw m1 HANDSOME RANDOM DESIGN Is achieved on this fd cedar shingle roof by varying the exposure of individyal shingles.
