1 Blanchard Lumber Co. Refinish Offices in Knotty Pine
To the Blanchard Lumber Company, North Hollywood, goes the credit of being one of the first concerns in Southern California to refinish their offices in Knotty Pine finish. In October, l9D, R. W. Blanchard engaged George W. Williamson, prominent North Hollywood contractoi, to install this popular finish, and since that time the office has become one of the show places in that vicinity. lxl2 and 1x3 Shevlin Knotty Finish was used, the lxl2's being grooved on both edges and the lx3 being tongued on both edges. The pattern of this panelling and the tapered blocks at the top of the moulded strips, were designed by Mr. Williamson. A mellow brown stain was applied, giving the interior an air of charm and distinction. Hot summer rvinds and weather changes have failed to mar the beauty of these walls.

Planted io jack pinie, this area is now producing a forest crop, the firsi arti'ficiai forest in the histbry oftlie Forest Service to do so. For hundreds of years foresters have sold timber from the mangrown forests of Europe, while the United States has been harvesting the forests grown by nature.
Three counties in Northern California, Humboldt, Sis- kiyou and Trinity, by action of their boards of supervisors, recently endorsed the fire protection work of the U. S. Forest Service and the State Division of Forestry. and have called on their citizens to render every assistince in pre- venting forest fires.
__The friendly relationship of the Forest Service to the National Park Service is d-emonstrated by the recent dedication by the Secretary of Agriculture oi the Mather Memorial Parkway commemoratlng the life and work of the late Stephen T. Mather, formei director of the National Park Service, Department of the fnterior. This memorial parkway, located in the Rainier National Forest. Washinq- parkway, !1 National Forest, Washing- ton, comprises 24,300 acres of forest land extendine one-hatif 2{300 extending one-hi mile on either side of the Natchez pass High#ay for a distance of 50 miles. The outstanding sceniclnd inspira- tional function of this memorial area w'ill be safeguardeh by the Forest Service.
Taking a dose of its own medicine and thereby strensthening'its no-advertising-signs policy, the U. S.
