Don't let them ## our timber lands! .rry I I
I f propored plans are enacted to take thousands of acres of commercial timber lands for a National Park, the whole economy of the Redwood lumber region could collapse millions of dollars would be lost from the tax roll
. . . thousands of workers would be unemployed and many fine old companies would be forced out of business.
!7e therefore join with the entire indusrry in protesting this unjust and unnecessary proposal by a Department of the U.S. Government.
NEED IS FOR DEVETOPMENT OF PRESENT PARKS Therearenowmorethan100'000acresof*"o*o;sofwhich nearly two-thirds are in our immediate Redwood area. The need is not for more Redwood groves in the State Parks, but rather for development within
those Parks, since they are seriously lacking in camping and recreational
facilities. (See story on page 13 in this issue of The California Lztruber Merchant.)
We urge our friends in the lumber business to contact their congressmen immediately !
