.LASKA TIMBER CUTTING BE DIFFERENT
t The virgin forests in the United States have been and s
r are rapidly being depleted by the growing demand for!
lumber and wood. The necessity for reforestation and j
the scientific production of trees is being impressed uponj
the American people more and more each year, else our j
country faces the permanent loss of a great source of nat-1
ural wealth.
Alaskans can almost rejoice at the experience that
the States have undergone with reference to their tim-:
her resources as they can be assured that the timber sup- j
ply in Alaska will be appreciated to such an extent that,
it will be an unlimited future supply. With the depletion j
of the forests in the States and the increasing necessity
for a timber supply, Alaska will probably soon be called
on for her timber supply, and it is here that experience
gained by the States will come in. Scientific cutting and
reforestation measures will be inaugurated in Alaska to
take care of the annual depletion and not the depletion of
generations and thus maintain the forests of Alaska to
supply timber to the United States and the world.
During 1930, 138,970 acres were reforested in the
States through the cooperation of the Federal and State
governments and thousands of agencies and individuals.
There are still millions of acres of idle land in the United
States, which would and should be growing trees had
proper reforestation measures been in effect years ago
and it will he some time before a timber harvest can be
reaped from these.
Yet, because of the long time element involved be
tween the initiation and the gathering of the product, re
forestation will probably remain largely a matter of gov
ernment activity and cannot hope to reforest enough land
to take care of the country's timber needs.
Thus, Alaska will be called upon for her timber re
sources and although it may be some time before that
time comes, it should be important enough that a nation
can recognize a future timber source.
RECREATION FOR WOMEN
How the 4,500 professional and business women mem
bers of the American Women’s Association of New York
City employ their leisure hours is interestingly told by
Mrs. Alice Robinson in a recent issue of The Medical Wo
man’s Journal. These women live in their 27-story club
house at 533 West 57th Street, Which is one of the best
equipped establishments of its kind in the world.
“The typical A. W. A. member,” writes Mrs. Robin
son, “swims, hikes, plays, tennis, ping pong, golf, deck
tennis, bridge, or takes some special form of gymnastic
exercise. Sometimes she prefers to spin verse with the
poetry group, or to make pottery, paint or sculp in the
studio.”
Others act in the A. W. A. plays, make costumes,
for productions, or learn to direct or write plays. Sing
ers may join the choral group or glee club. A library with
4,000 books is available to members, and open-air galler
ies, roof gardens and patio serve fresh air enthusiasts. An
emergency hospital and nursing service is maintained in
the clubhouse, and there are also gymnasiums, an immense
swimming pool, and many other features for the recrea
tion of members.
Perhaps no institution in the country so strikingly
illustrates the enterprising spirit of the present-day wo
man as does this great A. W. A. clubhouse.
Miss A. J. Cannon, astronomer, who has been con
nected with Harvard observatory for the last 30 years,
has won world-renown as one of the first women to achieve
success in this field.

THOUGHT BEEH CHECKED
NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (7P)—'The fi
nancial markets were willing to
side with the optimists. Shares
gained modestly, but had a dis
tinctly firm undertone and the
same was true of bonds.
Sterling went to 382% and closed
at 383.
The franc, already below the
gold point, dipped further thus
strengthening the belief in bank
ing circles that, barring unfore
! seen occurrences, the major move
' ment of metal away from New
York is virtually at an end.
