Letters From Omr Reader*:

True leadership
TO THE EDITOR:
I believe leadership is one who represents a higher
degree of participation in our society, or it may be
denned in terms of the objective.
Again, leadership is known by personality, but not by
those who dominates.
It is the duty of the leader to encourage progress
toward the goal and to change attitudes and conduct
which will lead to the attainment of the goal.
Leadership is as important for the followers as well
as for the leaders.
Therefore, each member of the group needs insight
to resist the influence of false leadership.
Finally, leadership is process of helping others to
discover for themselves in achieving of aims which
will lead to the attainment and qualitative of growth as
group members. Again, preparedness is the key to
leadership.

URGES ROTARIANS
TO MAKE MOVE FOR
WIDER CAUSEWAY: A
move to make it possible
for tourists to stop on the
causeway and admire the
river without obstructing
traffic was advocated at
the Tuesday night
meeting of the Rotary
Club by Silas Whedbee,
vice president of the civic
body and chairman of the
program committee. It
was Whedbee' s idea as
presented to the
Rotarians to bring about
cooperation between the
county and town toward
getting the help of the
State Highway Commis
sion in widening the
causeway so that cars
could drive off the road
way proper to park and
look at the river, Hert
ford's principle attrac
tion. Whedbee's sugges
tion was received with
Kanger outlines program
to boost forest development
"Each year millions of
trees are harvested in
North Carolina from land
owned by small private
forest landowners. All too
often, these landowners
give little or no considera
tion to establishing
another forest on the cut
over land," according to
County Forest Ranger
John Hurdle. "This land
owner may need money
from the sale of timber to
buy new farm equipment,
pay off some bills, or put
children through school,
so they sell the timber and
let the land come back in
whatever nature allows."
"This is a big problem
in North Carolina," Hur
dle continued, "since in
this State, most of the 20
million acres of commer
cial forest land is owned
by 245,000 private in
dividuals." According to
figures compiled by the
Division of Forest
Resources, N.C. Depart
ment of Natural
Resources and Communi
ty Development, 130,000
acres of forest ate
harvested each year and
not reforested.
"Most of the timber
used by the wood-using in
dustries in North Carolina
comes from these small
woodland owners, most of
whom own less than 100
acres. This is the primary
source of raw materials
for the third largest in
dustry in the State, and if
we are going to have the
raw materials we need for
building our homes in the
future, we need to reforest
this land as soon after
harvesting as possible,"
Hurdle said.
This was the underlying
reason the 1977 General
Assembly passed the
North Carolina Forest
| Development Program
L Act. The program will
help landowners establish
a maximum of 100 acres
of new forest each year by
paying for up to 60% of the
cost. The basic re
quirements are that the
land be capable to grow
ing commercial timber
and that the landowner
have a forest manage
, ment plan which has
been approved by a
representative of the
Department of Natural
Resources and Communi
I ty Development.

tion of present and future
courses of action that will
be followed to assure
maximum forest produc
tivity and environmental
protection," Hurdle said.
"The landowner may
make the forest manage
ment plan himself;
however, most land
owners prefer to have this
done by a forester. This
service is provided by the
Division of Forest
Resources and by con
sulting foresters. Many
industry foresters also
provide this service, " he
said.
Any work needed to
establish a new forest is
eligible for cost-sharing
payment. This includes
tree planting, plus the
cost of the seedlings, and
work needed to prepare
the land for planting.
It also includes prac
tices for releasing seedl
ings, and sprouts of
valuable species from
competing vegetation.
These practices apply to
the management of hard
woods as well as pines.
Funds of the Forest
Development Program
come from an assessment
on the primary forest pro
duces (saw logs,
pulpwood, poles, posts,
ect.) which is paid by the
processors, and from the
General Funds of North
Carolina.
The Forest
Developemnt Program
became effective on July
1, 1978. "I have already
received a number of in
quiries from landowners
who want to establish new
forests," Hurdle said,
"but there are many,
many more acres of com
mercial forest land in this
county which need atten
tion. If you are among
those landowners whose
woodland needs help,
please call me or drop me
a line."
