FRIEND OF CONSERVATION
.Anyone who speaks out in support of conservation of re
sources has a ready audience — and with good reason. Con
servation has become a foremost issue of our time But I
curiously, the arguments of many of those who profess to j
be the strongest conservationists hold a contradiction that j
reveals an amazing lack of understanding of our modern eco- ]
nomic system. They simultaneously plead the cause of con-;
servation and damn the profit motive. And yet, it is the pro- ’
fit motive of modern industry that is the greatest enemy of ]
waste.
Waste and profits are incompatible in our competitive
systems and nowhere is this better illustrated than in the
forest products industry. In a late issue of “The Exchange”
magazine, Christopher Elias described the metamorphosis of
the “lumber companies” of yesteryear. From one product,
the industry has diversified into the production of thousands
of products from the forests.
As a result, the timber companies look upon the tree with
new regard. In the words of Mr. Elias, “Modern manage
ments see it not so much as a commodity that needs market
ing, but as a raw material that is precious, needs renewal
and which should be utilized to the fullest. Instead of a hit
and-run operation as in years past, when companies sawed
out the most valuable part of a tree and then went on to
other acreages, forest products companies farm their lands.
They assure future raw material supplies by planting trees
that mature 15 to 80 years hence.”
.The modern timber company abhors waste, if for no other
reason that it undermines profits Thus, the most aggres
sive conservationists are the largest timber firms who seek
to preserve the forests both for recreation and for utilization
on a perpetual product yielding basis. The profit motive
has become an ally rather than an enemy of conservation.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY. GEORGIA
I National Bible Week 1967
I
. j This year the week of October 15 through October 22 will
bring the observance of National Bible Week. The theme of
the occasion will be “The Bible: Good News for Modern
Man.” Vice-Admiral William F. Raborn, Jr., national chair-
• man of an interfaith program for encouraging use of the Bi
ble has said that this theme, . seems to be particularly sig
nificant because of the difficult and deeply troublesome re
, sponsibilities which our country is facing in its staunch sup
■ i port of man’s basic freedoms. Certainly the teachings of the
‘ Bible are doubly applicable and bring inspiration, strength
1 1 and understanding to the peoples of the world and their lead
' ers representing the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths,
,] who, with others, are opposing the resurgence of the forces
i of evil.”
The sanctity of man and the value of a single human life
are basic tenets of Christianity as are compassion, under
standing and generosity directed toward those less fortunate
or suffering affliction. The Lord demonstrated the meaning
■ of these values and the strength of faith during, the years
lof his ministry. The story lies within the pages of the Bible
; available to each of us as an unfailing source of inspiration.
■ guidance and strength. Let each of us make this observance ]
; of Bible Week a time for realization that this Book still I
। carries within its pages the only light that can show man the I
! way to live in peace with his neighbors. It is the light that ■
i none of us can do without.
