acres to trees will have to be

next decade," according to
County Forest Ranger Lewis
SUUings. "Since it takes 20 to 30
years of growing before a pine
forest can be harvested, it
doesn't take much reasoning to
figure that North Carolina will
have to plant 130,000 acres of
trees every year between now
and 1983."
This is the goal set for North
Carolina at the recent National
Tree Planting Conference in
New Orleans. The ever in

wood in the United States and
the nation's growing population
indicate that SO million acres of
trees will have to be planted
during the next ten years. The
southeastern states alone- plan
to set out trees on more than 14
million acres during this time
period.
County Ranger Lewis
Stallings stated that the N.C.
Forest Service is helping to fill
this need by assisting land'
owners reforest their
woodlands and restock the
woodlands which are not
growing the number of trees
they could. "There are 8.5
million acres of forest in North
Carolina which are growing
only about 40 per cent of the
trees they could produce."

applications for forest tree
seedlings and is available to
help landowners obtain
seedlings from the N.C. Forest
Service. "We can help the
landowner manage his forest,
prepare his land for tree
planting, plant the trees, and
even find a buyer for the wood
when he is ready to harvest it.
All he has to do is come by my
office at Winfall Tower of give
me a call at 297-2557.

COf C Signs Resolution in Support
Of Medical School At ECU
The Perquimans County
Chamber of Commerce added
its voice to a resolution in
support of expansion of the
medical school at East Carolina
University. It had been drawn
up by Plymouth Mayor Bill
Flowers and will eventually be
presented to Gov. Bob Scott.
Other clubs and organizations
have also been asked to support
the resolution.
The support came at the
December meeting. Also at that
time, officers for 1973 were
elected. They will be sworn in
during the Dec. 7 banquet.
Tickets for that affair are now
on sale from board members
and at the Chamber office.
Before the banquet comes the
Christmas parade. And we want
to ask that all parents made
sure their children are not
armed with such things as pea
shooters. In a news story
elsewhere in this paper, you'll
see the reasons why.
Also look for later news
stories concerning the
presentation of some of the
most famous feature films ever
produced. These major
productions will be presented
