the curriculum continues into
Its second year.
Forestry is third in the
economy of North Carolina,
and interest in forestry, wild
life and recreation has spur
fcd a growing need for train
ed forest technicians in the
state and the nation. To
help meet this growing need,
Martin Technical Institute
began a two-year forest man
agement curriculum in 1968.
This beginning was a good
one, with chiefly the enthu
siasm of the staff, faculty,
students, industrial cooperat
ors and the N. C. Forest Ser
vice responsible for a suc
cessful take-off. The pro
gram has grown with the ad
dition of needed equipment
and personnel, and plans for
a greatly expanded third
year are underway. Martin

The proper use of a compass is a necessary skill for all
woodsmen.

of a new building in early
1970, and local forestry
groups, forest industries and
private landowners are co
operating in every way to
make forest land and equip

tional use to the school
“What are forest techni
cians, and what do they do?”
are questions frequently ask
ed by interested persons.
Forest technicians are assist
ants to the professional for
esters who are graduates of
four-year universities. The
professional forester is train
ed as a forest scientist, but
he is no more effective in his
work than the staff he has to
carry out his policies. The
progress of forestry in the
past decade has resulted in
an acute need for trained as
sistants to work with the
professional forester and Mar
tin Tech is one of three in
stitutions in the state quali
fied to train technicians to
fill this need.
Graduates of a forest tech-

nician program are qualified
to cruise timber, select and
mark trees for harvest, sur
vey land, scale logs and
trees, supervise forest har
vest operations, locate and
maintain forest roads, pro
tect forests against fires, in
sects and disease, operate
forest equipment, plan recre
ational facilities, and other
related technical activities.
Any high school graduate
may enter the forest technt
, cian program at Martin Tech
nical Institute. Due to state
and federal aid, tuition is
modest, approximately one
fifth of the actual cost. Ad
ditional expense for books
and supplies is held to a mini
mum, and all necessary tech
nical equipment is provided
by the school. Scholarships
from various sources are
available to qualified stu
dents.
As concern grows in the
United States for the pre
servation and wise use of
our forests, rivers, wildlife
and recreational areas, inter
est in forestry schools con
tinues to grow. Trained per
sons must be available to
manage our lands, in the
wisest manner, or future
generations will have none of
our natural forest resources
to use and enjoy. A great
responsibility rests on the
shoulders of men who are
willing to take up the chal
lenge of managing our for
ests for the good of all Am
ericans.

Communities Must Compile Current Infomation
"Communities must have
current information compiled
and readily available if they
are to work effectively with
industrial prospects," Ken
neth W. Lane, assistant man
ager of community develop -
ment for the Virginia Eh c
tric and Power Company,
said recently at the presen
tation of the Perquima s
County Economic Study.
The study was presented to
Mrs. Jean Harrison, chairman
of the local study committee,
at a dinner meeting in Per
quimans County High School,
Hertford.
Lane said, “Current infor
mation is even more import
ant today with thousands of
industrial development or
ganizations looking for in
dustrial prospects throughout
the nation. It is not good
enough anymore just to have
information compiled; it must
be in a presentable and usable
form.”
The economic study is de
signed as a reference for in
dustrial development organi
zations to assist industry in
new plant locations and ex
pansions of existing plants.
Lane said other possible uses
of the study are:
1. To assist a community
in evaluating its shortcom
ings and assets.
2. To serve as a basis for
long-range plans for the area.
3. To assist in preparing
individual community devel
opment plans.
4. Most important —to be
used as a fact book on fa
cilities and community work
with industrial prospects.
He said eight potential in
dustrial sites in Perquimans
County have been selected as
being representative of the

area. Factors considered in
site selection include the ap
pearance of the site, availab
ility of the property which
uould have approximately 10
jeres or more of fairly level
and cleared land, the accessi
bility of major routes of
transportation and the avail
ability of utilities.
The eight sites range in
size from nine to 350 acres;
and, in most cases, the size of
the particular site could be
either increased or decreased
to meet specific requirements.
Two of the sites are adjacent
to railway facilities and all
are served by good highways.
Each site is illustrated by a
sketch and a brief description
of the property. A map of
the area pinpointing the loca
tion of individual sites select
ed is shown on a page oppo
site each site sketch, Lane
said.
The study was made at the
request of the Perquimans
County Board of Commission
ers and Perquimans County
Industrial Development Com
mission with the cooperation
of citizens of the county.
Copies of the study will be
made available upon request
to those interested in the eco
nomic development of the
area.
The study is divided into
six major classifications: phy
sical assets, manpower, mar
ket resources, government,
community facilities and in
dustrial sites.
The study is based on in
formation supplied through a
local economic study com
mittee headed by Mrs. Harri
son of Hertford and the
Perquimans County Indus
trial Development Commis
sion. Other study committee
members include: R. C. El

director of the Development
Commission.

and the work of all of their
local representatives who
