In 23 counties in the Northern Coastal Plains of North Carolina, forests occupy two-thirds of the land. Since 1937, the acreage of forest land has increased 9 per cent, according to a recent forest survey made by the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station of the U. S. Forest Service and the Divi sion of Forestry of the N. C. De partment of Conservation and De velopment. Despite the over-all increase in forest land, the survey found that pine stands have been cut heavily and actually show a decrease in area. Conversion of pine types to hardwoods has shown up as a per sistent trend in the Coastal Plain area of North Carolina and in other areas of the Southeast as well. K usually occurs when the more valuable pine species are cut out of mixed stands, leaving hard woods to occupy the available growing space. To make matters worse, the residual hardwood stands often contain a high pro portion of poor-qaulity material. Young pine trees are on the in crease—for instance 150 million more pine saplings in the 23 north eastern counties than 17 years ago. Young hardwoods have increased even more. The extensive areas of young trees are a very valuable reservoir of future materials, pro vided fires can be kept out. Loblolly pine is by far the most important timber tree in the Northern Coastal Plain. Its volume is in excess of 7 billion board-feet, and it comprises 45 percent of the area’s sawtimber volume. Pond pine sawtimber sizes are on the upswing—probably because this species grows in wet or swampy places and is thus more difficult to 4og. The recently-issued Forest Sur vey Release No. 45, “Forest Statistics for the North Coastal Plain of North Carolina,” contain ing charts, maps, and figures on forest trends in this area can be obtained free of charge by writing to Forest Survey, Box 2570, Ashe ville, N.

Miss Connie Payne of Norfolk THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C. Filter clouds into your snapshots for attractive scenic shots this summer. The Mystery of the Clouds that Disappeared A bright blue sky, tastefully decorated with fluffy white clouds, are the snapshooter’s delight. There’s no better background for pictures of any kind whether your subject is a beautiful land scape or a pretty girl. You wait most impatiently for such pictures to come back from the photofinisher. But when you see them, the first glance tells you that the scene isn’t quite as you remember it. The clouds are gone! Vanished . . . disappeared, not a trace of one in sight There is an explanation—and a solution to this mystery. We see the clouds because they stand out against the blueness of the sky. But black-and-white film doesn’t “see” colors as such. It records colors according to their different brightnesses in a corre sponding range of grey tones. Thus, in your snapshot, the blue is here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gaskill Payne. Sammy Meekins, USN, Oceana Air Station, visited his father, Spurgeon Meekins.

But it is an easy matter to trap those elusive clouds—just slip a filter over the lens of your camera to cut out some of the light from the sky so that it will be recorded in darker tones. There are many types of filters, most of them for special purposes. Talk to your photo dealer about the one that is best for you. And, if you are a box camera user, don’t be scared by any talk of filter factors and adjusting the camera’s settings to make up for the light you cut out Today’s black-and white films have so much exposure latitude that you’ll get good pic tures anyway. Filters are very inexpensive— and they’ll save you from ponder ing the mystery of the clouds that disappeared. —John Van Guilder DUCK PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Getsinger and daughter Nancy of Gibbstown, N.
