FORESTRY WEEK TO
OFFICIALLY OPEN
SPECIAL PROGRAMS THROUGH.
OUT COMING WEEK BY VAR.
IOUS ORGANIZATIONS
In accordance with proclamations
issued by President Coolidge and
Governor Parks, American Forest
Week will officially open tomorrow.
Locally the week will start off by
the churches devoting a portion of
their services to forestry subjects.
This will be followed during the
week by special programs at the
various schools, boy scout organiza
tions, etc.
A local business man has stated
that what is needed is a forestry J
week 52 weeks every year. “The j
importance of our forest^ resources j
justifies that statement,” Supervisor i
McDonald says.
The Alaska Railroad alone uses
something over 200,000 railroad ties
every year, the bulk of which are cut
from aeras near the right of way.
This means the circulation in this
district of $200,000 which would be
spent in Oregon and. Washington if
local timber were destroyed.
While this is a late spring, forestry
officials declare that it is none too
early to begin thinking of fire pre
vention. Whole-hearted co-operation
of the public is the importane fac
tor in keeping fires down to a min
nimum. Every effort will be made
by the forest service to brin.^ about
the maximum co-operation which
means so much in keeping the .for
ests free from fire, so that the tim
ber crop can be harvested and the
Territory reap the general economic
benefits which naturally follow the
utilization of one of her important !
natural resources.

RISKSUFE IN TEST:
INVENTOR CERTAIN THEORY OF
WINDMILL PLANE IS CORRECT
ONE
SOUTHAMPTON. April 23. (#>) —
Frank B. Courtney, an experimental
air pilot, deliberately risked his life
to prove the principle of his windmill
plane was right.
The experiment ended in a crash in
which Courtney was slightly hurt. One
wing of the plane had come off while
60 feet in the air and another came
off when within 15 feet of the ground
letting the machine fall like a stone.
“I am still convinced,” Courtney
said, “that the principle of the auto
giro is right. I shall go on with the
experiments, though in a different
way. I knew that the breakage was
inevitable and I had put in a report
previously to that effect. But as no
one would believe me the only way
to test my theories was to break the
machine in the air.”
