The timber cut or destroyed by fire in 1943 was 50 per cent more than the total growth. Statistics plainly indicate that forest conservation is an important national problem. Experts estimate |that when the Pilgrims landed on Cape Cod the country had 822 million acres of virgin timber, about 43 per cent of the land area. The figure is approxi- — ' mately 630 million acres today, of which about 462 | million acres are commercial forest land. However, some 77 million acres are practically nonproductive because of fire or destructive cutting in recent years. About 100 million acres ‘are labeled “cut-over” land and are producing only a fraction of their possible livery of their papers.

The 196 million acres in public ownership can be increased for public benefit. There are com- paratively few community forests in the nation, yet since the first one was started in Newington, N. H., lin 1017, they have proved financial assets. The present situaiion is a serious one. Basic Federal and State legislation, plus the realization that in normal times lumber is a crop to be planted and harvested, will help to restore the nation’s forest resources. More rigid conservation in the States, however, could mean the development of part of Alaska's vast PRESS ed to it or not other- | local news published aska Newspapers, 1411 | B 5 uses.

Perhaps the United States can take a little second- hand pride in the Cuban election, because the Cubans were going along with our example. Anyway, it takes a strong de-| moeracy, a tolerant democracy, to withstand the brickbats, the name- calling, the savagery of what has been the most difficult campaign since the 1864 campaign between Lincoln and McClellan. And now that it’s over and we have demonstrated that we can do| it, let’s all get on with the war. PETTICOAT POLITICS | Women ' sometimes have a dot to| do with backstage politics. Witness Mnps. Will Clayton, wife of the suave, handsome Surplus War Property Administrator who, be-| cause of his anti-Roosevelt business | associates in Texas, has been ac-| cused of being against FDR. The other day, however, Wil Clayton made a speech before the ‘Women's Democratic Club on the subject, “Why I Am for the Re- election of Franklin Roosevelt.” Be- hind that speech was a lot of| feminine wire-pulling — chiefly by gracious Mrs. Clayton. Mrs. Clayton is a lady of both | force and charm. Frequently she! differs with her husband. When | he contributed $7,000 to the Liberty League against Roosevelt in 1936, she contributed $7,000 to help Roosevelt. i In this year’s campaign, Mrs. Clayton wanted it definitely under- stood that her husband was for Roosevelt. She, went, therefore, to Mrs. Will H. ‘Davis, wife of the! chairman of the War Lahor Board | and herself chairman of the pro- gram' committee of the Women's| Democratic Club, suggesting that Clayton speak before the club. Mrs. Davis gladly agreed. Then Mrs. Clayton, to make doubly sure that her husband’s position was understood, arranged personally for a radio hook-up. Will Clayton was | against the President in 1936, but| there is no question about where he has stood in 1944.

In the Territorial election, First Division, the arrival of the vote of the big Indian precincts was cutting down edrly leads and Walker, Demacrat, of Ketchikan, was only in a slight lead over Hunt, Republican, also of Ketchikan, for Senator. N. O. Hardy and J. J. Connors, both Democrats of Juneeu, were certain of election to the House. John Rustgard, Republican, was increasing his Territorial lead over Henry Roden, Democrat, for Attorney General. In Berlin, newspapers were discussing the momentous question whether modern bobbed hair women should tip their hats to each other. Delegates were leaving Juneau and Douglas to attend the annual ANB convention at Hoonah. A little prize fighter arrived in the city weighing eight pounds and three quarters. The parents of the boy baby were Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair Brown. The dad was a well known ring artist of Gastineau Channel. The Douglas Fire Department decided to take a lead in Channel sports and was to place one and possibly two basketball teams in the field to meet all comers.

Can you give some expressions that may be used when bei:; introduced, in“place of the ordinary “How do you do”? A. “This is a great pleasure.” “I have been wanting to meet you for some time.” “I have heard so much about you.” Any of these may be used if they can be said sincerely, but the most simple and non-com- mittal of all is, “How do you do?” Q. Is a signature necessary if a person sends flowers to a friend | who is ill, and encloses his card with a message on it? A. No; his name on the card takes the place of a signature. Q. If a man stops on the street to talk with a woman for a few minutes, should he remove his hat? A. He should lift his hat, but it is not at all necessary for him to stand with his hat in his hand.
