This program, it was said. embodies expenditure of $2,000,000 annually on protection from forest fires, and includes logging practices that provide seed sources for new growth, the growing of 5,000,000 seedlings each year in the Forest Industries Tree Nursery at Nisqually, Washington, and the organization of tree farms, which now encompasses 1,800,000 acres in the Douglas fir region.

From Lumber Yard To Department Store

Knoxville, Tenn.-The metamorphosis of the Schubert Lumber Co. here is one of the oddities. of wartimes.

War brought restrictions on use of lumber for civilian building.

The company has a modern building across from the Standard Knitting Mill, which has nearly 3,000 worrten employes.

It decided to become a hardware store. Hardware expanded into home furnishings.

Home furnishings expanded to include women's wear.

"Looks like we'll end up as a department store," smiled H. A. Schubert, president.
