When a man .suddenly become.'

for a shiny new car—and some
times figures on trading in the
“old” wife. That's the premise
of Hal Wallis’ sophisticated com

cpens Sunday at the Co-Ed thea
tre. This Paramount release has
a star-studded cast headed by
Janet Leieh, Van Johnson, Shel

Walston and Jeremy Slate.
“Wives and Lovers” is the hil
arious story of today's young
moderns, and their problems
with money, not too little, but
too m"^h! Johnson is seen as a
struggling writer, while his wife

portrays a wise-cracking divor

typewriter.
Ray Walston, remembered on
stage and screen for "Sooth Pa

Yankees”, stars as Miss Winters’
boy friend. Jeremy Slate, pre
viously seen with Elvis Presley
in “G I. Blues” and “Girls! Girls!

that old axiom about children.
Hollywood insiders say this is one
child who will definitely be
heard.
Of unusual behind-the-scenes
interest is the director, John
Rich, making his movie debut.
Rich won the assignment thanks
to his bright and breezy direc
tion (for two years) of the poDu
lar Dick Van Dvke Show. That
he did a good job on “Wives and
Lovers” has already been proved.
Producer Hal Wallas has signed
him for a second film.

The tree has symbolized a way
of life and work since civiliza
tion. At the same time the tech
niques and principles that now
dominate its commercial use are
as modern as tomorrow morn
ing.
Wood just isn’t wood any
more. We know and use it in
myriad forms, some unrecogniz
able, made possible by research
and the miracles of chemistry.
Waste is virtually non-existent.
Just about every last ounce and
inch of every tree cut serves a
worthwhile purpose of somt sort.
Suppose we follow a log
through a modern mill and see
what can become of it. As the
log is brought to the mill it is
,'irst debarked, or in other words,
the bark is removed. The bark
is loaded into a truck and is
sold to a plant that makes fer
tilizer of mulch. The log is sawn
into lumber with the barked
slabs and edgings (which are re
moved from the boards when
they are squared up) being sold
to a chipper mill where they are
made into chips from which pa
per is made. The sawdust is sold
to a plant where it is mixed with
a glue, and under high tempera
ture and pressure, the sawdust
is transformed into particle
board. Of course the lumber is
used in the construction of
homes, furniture, and other
things we associate lumber with.
So — one can say that in this
type of operation there is very
little, if any, waste; and this
is one of the reasons why the
timber product people have suc
cessfully met the competition
from all the other products that
can be used in a comparable
fashion.
This of course would be mean
ingless unless the nation was as
sured of a huge and dependable
supply of timber and its products
in the long term future. We do
have the assurance. The day
when the trees were cut and har
vested with very little thought to
the future is gone. Now the for
ests are cultivated carefully and
wisely. The foresters on the
