Grow New Forests In the past, lumbermen have been criticised for the depletion ami waste of the country’s for ests, and it may be that much timber has been cut without proper regard for futur® needs. At present, however, the lum bermen appear to be keenly alive to the necessity for conservation of timber and reforestation of cut-over areas. In fact, such *a movement among the lumbermen has been under way in several states for quite a while. At a convention In Chicago, the National Lumber Manufac turers Association commended the interest in reforestation be ing taken by the government and by the forestry departments of many states. A resolution adopt ed by the convention said: “We urge continuance of this interest and cooperation, both public and private, to bring a- bout sound conditions for per petuating our forest industry.” Better means of fire protec tion in e^flsting forests were also recommended, as well as favor able tax measures to encourage private forest-growing enterpris es. It is fortunate that this matter is engaging the attention of the country at large to a greater ex tent than ever before. No natural resource is more essential to our national welfare than our for ests. A. L.

L. Griffing, manager of the J. C. Penney Company store in North Wilkesboro. Mr. J. C. Penney many years ago established his first store in a small mining town in Wyoming.
