The Christmas tree as- sociation and woodland and tree farm owners were behind the legislation. The individual must have a I bill of sale while transporting the 1 trees which must show the name and address of the original own- I er, the number of trees by species ■ and the description of the land ■ from which the trees were re moved, the forester pointed out With the increasing demands for Christmas trees in the holi day trade and the high prices paid for both stumpage and the tree on the lot, together with the tree farm movement where trees are grown for wood production, it is becoming increasingly dif ficult to secure stumpage. There have been numerous oc casions of trespass even to the extent of cutting trees during the daytime, yarding them to in conspicuous places and remov ing them at night. In addition, individuals have frequently been checked during the daytime with out evidence of tree ownership. The forester added that as a matter of precaution the owner of the trees should also have evi dence of his title while trans porting the product, since he may be stopped by officials at any time. This is especially true when trees are assigned to the Califor nia market. Border checks may require evidence of ownership. Phipps added that under the Oregon law the fainter may haul Christmas trees grown on the farm or trees produced by a neighbor living within a five-mile radius under the farmer licensed cars or trucks. These plates arc- acceptable in both Washington and California, he added. How ever, if the trees are to be taken to California for sale- by the far mer he must secure a California license and permit from the Cali fornia Board of Equalization, al Sacramento, Phipps said. I | C-Z Sales High During October Crown Zellerbach’s sales for October established an all-time high. President A. B. Layton re ported recently in an address to the San Francisco security anal ysts. He said that because of the pulp and paper industry strike in British Columbia, previous es timate of this year’s earnings, ap proximately $40 million, or $2 80 a share, probably will not be realized. However, even if the strike wer? to last through the end of the year, 1957 earnings will be the third best in their history. He characterized the pulp and paper industry as a "healthy growing youngster with a bright future” and a few growing pains. A recent report of the U. S. Department of Commerce fore casts that in 1965 the estimated U.S. demand for paper and board will total 43,800.000 tons, an in crease of 40 per cent over 1956 production. If this eventuates, it means that just eight yeais from now, the industry will have to produce 12 million more tons than was produced in 1956. At present construction costs of ap proximately $100,000 per daily ton of capacity, this would re quire an outlay of som? $4 b.l- lion to supply the expected de mand for products of the indus try. Last y ar, Crown Zellerbach spent $70 million for capital ad ditions. This year, exclusive of sale-leaseback transactions, the corporation will spend between $50 and $55 million, mostly to complete projects that were start ed in 1956. ----------------------- Tax Guide Ready To Aid Farmers A new edition of the Farmers’ Tax Guide will lie available cost- | free within a few days from county agents of the d partment of agriculture and district offices of the Internal Revenue service, which annually publishes th? booklet, it was announced today by District Director Ralph C.

SS Freeze Wise For Disabled Although many disabled pet* pie in this area have already ap plied to have their social security records frozen, many more may lose valuable social security pro tection if they do not apply be fore July 1958. This warning came from Wes . Sherman, field repr sentative of social security in Portland. He explained that an application fil ed before July 1958 by a disabled worker could be eff ective as of the time his dujabiltlv actually started if certain work require ments were met at that time. After June 30. 1958, a disabled person cannot freeze his social security record for a period be ginning earlier than one year be fore the date he applies for the freeze. This means that many workers who have been disabled for a long time will not be able to get their record frozen if they do not apply before June 30, 1958. Any person in the area who is severely disabled and who work ed regularly in work covered by social security before becoming disabled should immediately con tact the social security district office. —Office Supplies at the Eagle— I NSURED ? i That's a good question— and | one that we c answer.
