MY FAVORITE STORIES

By Jae Dionne

Age not guaranteed-Some I have told for 2o ]ears,-Some les{r Mv Goodness!

I said that the story of the three little boys and the little girl in school, that I told in the December 15th, 1932 issue, was the smartest story I had heard in a long time.

VVell, here's the biggest laugh I've had in a long time:

These two birds were "gassing" one another. One of them said:

"When my father was just a year and a half old he had a terrible case of diptheria."

"How terrible!" exclaimed the other. .Did he recover?"

"I really couldn't say," replied the first; .,f was away at school at the time."

California'g Oldest National Forest Manila Paper lssues Philippine Celebrates 40th Anniversary Hardwood Supplement

California's first national forest was created by President Benjamin Harrison on December 20, 1892-forty years ago. His proclamation set aside 555,520 acres in Los Angeles County to be known as the San Gabriel Timberland Reserve under authority granted by the Act of March 3, 1891. This area was regarded as valuable for watershed protection by the U. S. Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior and by the first California State Forestry Commission appointed by Governor George Stoneman in 1885.

From 1892 until 1897 it remained "reserved" from all forms of use except recreation. It was then placed under the administration of the General Land Office of the Department of the Interior, a forest supervisor placed in charge with headquarters in Los Angeles, and a force of short-term rangers appointed for fire protection. In 1908 it was consolidated rvith the old San Bernardino National Forest under the name of the Angeles. In 1925 these two areas were again separated and administered as distinct units.

Today the Angeles National Forest rvith its area of 643,836 acres is more intensively used lor recreation than any other national forest in the United States, and two million persons obtain 8O per cent of their water supply from the streams rising from its watersheds. Within its boundaries over one million persons .annually find recreation in the 153 camp grounds improved by the Forest Service in cooperation with the Automobile Club of Southern California and Los Angeles County, and in the county parks at Big Pines and Crystal Lake.
