California Second
In Nation With
Pine, Redwood, Fir
SAN FRANCISCO ,,, California, the nation’s second
most important forestry products State, is honoring the
industry this week, saluting
the industry for the second
consecutive year,
The week has been aside
by Act of Congress and Presidential Proclamation to pay
tribute tothe products of the
forests, which play so important a role in the lives of
Americans,
Lumber production in
California dates back to
1843, In the ensuing years
the industry has become an
increasingly important. segment of the State's economy,
representing about $12
million annually, more than
a million employes and a
payroll in excess of $7
million.
Largest of the three segments of the State's lumber-~ing industry is pine, followed
closely by redwood where
production has been fairly
stable for a number of years
since World War II, and the
Douglas fir industry, which
now accounts for a substantial part of California 's
lumber output.
. The State possesses a
large timber supply, including specialty woods and
hasan estimated 360 billion
board feet of standing saw
timber -about 33 per cent
Douglas fir, 28 per cent
pine; 24 per cent white fir,
which has becomean
increasingly valued product
and ten per cent redwood,
Fallout Shelter ,
Aid Not Available
SACRAMENTO, , The California Disaster Office today
announced that no federal
or state matching funds are
available for the construction
of fallout shelters.
Many inquiries have been
received at civil defense
offices concerning matching
funds, particularly regarding
planned community shelters,
The confusion has arisen
in part because the federal
government has a matching
funds program for prototyle
shelters developed to familiarize citizens with various
design possibilities, However, funds appropriated in
fiscal years 1960 and 1961
for the prototype shelter
program have been entirely
committed,
No funds for private
shelter construction have
been appropriated in the
current budget.
