THURSDAY, NOV. 25, IMi HUMRUR TiURTEKN SUBSCRIPTION RATES 52.50 PER YEAR Ranger’s Rumblings By: Helton Carmichael As far back as 1910, when the end of our virgin forests was already in sight east of the Mississippi, the Forest Froducts Laboratory was set up by the Forest Service as a research institution on the University of Wisconsin cam pus under cooperative agree ment. Now, half a century later, only the far West yields lar ge amounts of timber from virgin forests. On most sec ond growth forest land, both public and private, the har vesting of a forest crop each year must be less than the current annual growth. This is the situation on the Pis gah National Forest. To cut t r o much on these second growth forests would deplete »the forest capital and pre vent the build-up of a sur plus to meet increased needs of the future. For a long period the old growth forests of the con t'nent were cut over, burned, or simply ‘ culled over”—a process that left only the poorer qua'ltv trees and those of inferior soecies. The resulting second growth con tained much material for which there was no market. If timber is to plav its vital role in the multiple use management of the Na tional Forests, research will have to find a wav tn wtJMze all of the annual yield from these second growth stands. Desnite the inroads being made by substitutes, an ex panding pooulation will con tinue to create heavy de mands for forest products and these can be expected to increase. A problem that long plag ued the National Forests of the East was to find a mar ket for low-grade hardwoods. The development of s®mi rhemlcal pulping by the For est Products Laboratory od ened the way to utilbatlon of second-growth hardwoods i... Scenes from the Harvest Festival at the Burnsville for Dulp. The semi-chemical process yields about 50 per cent more pulp, with less costly manufacturing plants than some of the older pro cesses. This outlet for hardwood puiowood, in the form of thinnings, has mad® the ooening un of thousands cf "ones of dense second grow+h which in turn has benefited the wlMl'fe habi tat,. provided local pn’p'ov- in the woods, and sti mulated the growth of bet ter quality trees left for future sawlogs. In the long look ahead there are still four basic pro blems in forest research tljat must be solved If our ex panding population fill its timber needs. We must find ways to grow more softwood lumber for construction purposes. Hardwoods are harder to cut and niil, harder to season, and harder to keep from splitting and warping. We must find uses for the low-quality trees, the little used species, the thinnings of young forests, both to meet our wood requirements and to help timber growers finance the great task of restoring the quality of their forests. We must do a more effi cient job of putting to use what we harvest—the limbs a-'-d t-ps and damaged trees row left behind in logging, the sawdust and shavings and other mill residue. ~ Finally, through research, we must find wavs of mak ing wood products of all more serviceable, more res'stant to decay a w d In sects, and more durable In use Unless these four problems are solved, we w’ll not be ab’e to pass along to our children and our erandchi’d ren forests and forest pro ducts on a scale eaual to that we ourselves now enjoy.

LEE WILLFUL CONVERTERS Austin, without authority, knowingly went upon the land of Blake and cut down a large oak tree worth S4O. From the oak tree Austin carved miniature statues of Marilyn Monroe, a famous actress. Austin is a noted sculptor and anything he produces brings a fabulous price. It took him two years to carve, sand, and lacquer the numerous statues of Marilyn Monroe he now has on hand. They have a mar ket value of $50,000. Blake has justt learned the nqme and whereabouts of the man that cut down his S4O oak tree. What are his legal rights? Blake may recover from Austin either the miniature statues of Marilyn Monroe or a Judgment for $50,000. The true owner of proper ty may recover It wherever found, even though greatly increased In value. The only exception Is where an Inno cent or unintentional con verter changes the property into a different spee’es or kind of property; 1 \ which case, the original owner can- 1 n°t recover the pmoerty in Its altered condition, but must content himself with a neat and colorful. These cars just off the pavement on the state highway Just beyond Bowditch have their rusty bottoms exposedt to the pub lic. Their bodies are drab, too, and lack appeal. ville School Harvest Festival here Friday night. rorovprv the value of the property in Its original shaoe. Austin knew he had no au thority to cut down the par ticular tree A willful trespasser or con scious converter cannot ac quire title under the doc trine of accession, no matter how greatly he may change the species or increase the value of the materials. The owner of the original mater ials may recover the new product, even though there has resulted a new form or species of property. The consideration extend ed to an Innocent converter has no aopllcation where the trespasser knowingly, Intentionally and willfully deprives another of the pos session of his property. If the willful trespasser were liable only for the value of property at the time It was taken, there wou’d be noth ing other than the provis ions of our criminal law to deter a person from force fully taking from an owner unwilling to sell. Rise in Auto Thefts NEW YORK-Auto thefts in , the United States have nearly tripled since 1918, according to the Insurance Information In stitute. There were 163,400 cars stolen in 1948 and 466,805 in 1964. Authorities stress that the best way to safeguard your car against thieves is to lock it and lake the kev with vou. My Home State By: Dana Proffitt North Carolina, a land of beauty and love, From her tall looming mountains , To her white sandy shore Colorful mountains ablaze with bright flowers To see all this beauty It would take one hours. Hours to see the rich forest supported lands Hours to walk along the white Jeweled sands. Sand hills rise from the plains to the sky While lofty Mt. Mitchell rises 6,684 feet high. There is much animal life to be found, From the Blue Ridge Moun ta'ns to Albemarle Sound. Racoons, oopossums. rab bits and deer. Shrimp and bluefish caught from the pier. Farmers raise cows, poultry and crops, While along the sandhills a white crane hops. No’-th Carolina is a state of pride; A state of beauty which is hard to hide. I’m p-oud to call the “Old North State” my home I’d rather live here than anywhere T could roam I’ve been to the east and I’ve been to the west. But North Carolina Is the state I love best. Pride and devotion Is what I feel You see, I’m glad to be a “Tar Heel ”. Boone To Get Youth. Corps Project Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz has announ ced the approval of a Neigh borhood Youth Corps Pro ject for Boone, N. C. This project Is sponsored by the WAMY.

Eppley, Telephone 264-8410, will serve as local coordina tor for the project. The Neighborhood Youth Corps Is a major part of the war against poverty, and provides young men and women from 16 through 21 years of age with part-time or nearly full-time employ ment opportunities which will enable them to return to or remain In school, or obtain the work experience necessary in today’s world of work. vh# C OME ini
