CITY COMMISSION Lansing, July G Two months hence when the "ole" swimming hole and carefree vacation days perform a fadeaway and the mereiless and ex acting .school bell ushers in a .season of parted hair and clean hands, every school child in Michigan should have been examined and declared to be physically fit. "Correct all defects in children and one of the greatest problems of the state health department will be elim inated," says Dr. K. M. Olin, state health commissioner. "Now is the time to do it. Parents who allow the vacation to pass without attending to the defects that can be corrected, and then take the children out of classes during tlu school year are making a serious mistake." "Children become discouraged when they are unable to keep up in their school work, and when they see their classmates forin ahead they assume the 'I don't care' attitude. Adenoids and enlarged ami diseased tonsils may be poisoning their sys tems and later in life may cause rheu matism, indigestion and appendicitis. Poisons from diseased tonsils and bad teeth are extremely dannvrous." According to figures compiled by the health department, nearly half of the school children of the state are suffering from defects which are mak ing them more susceptible to infec tious diseases besides handicapping them in laying a foundation for an education or rendering them liable to the secondary defects of later life. Many parents have these defects rem edied during vacation time. Many more do not. A general warning to all parents is: "Take your child to a doctor now and save school time." Forest Service Studies Needs Washington, D. C, June 2'.) Michi gan, which as late as 1X10 led the United States in the amount of lum ber cut, today produces only one-half of the timber it uses, according to an investigation on the economic effects of forest devastation there made by the Forest Service, United States De partment of Agriculture. Each year, the study discloses. Michigan cuts about T.'o million board feet of sawed lumber and uses twice that amount. This lumber deficit is met at present by imports from dis tant States; freight bills already burdensome increase as the timber frontier recedes before the lumber man's ax. The State's lumber short age, according to the Forest Service is the direct result of deforestation by lire and ax, without any attempt at replacing the original forests. At the height of its great lumber boom, from ISM) to lS'.H), Michigan tut from her forests each year ap proximately Pa billion feet of lum her, of which four-fifths was export td to other States or countries. Nine ty ler cent of the cut was virgin white pine, one of the finest timber trees in America. -Michigan today is Dinrticnllv neirliirible as a source of this valuable species and now' actual ly cuts less than half as much as Massac husetts. The great bulk of hnmeirrown timber is low-grade ma terial, such as fuel, distillation wood m.sts. ooles. and nu nwood. Michigan now has to depend on imports for i large part of its high-grade material such as construction lumber and fur niture and vehicle stock. Forty years ago Michigan was cut ting annually three times the amount of lumber it now uses each year. It still has, according to forestry ex perts, enough lorest land to grow yearly more than twice its present annual consumption, but this tan be done only by planting denuded land and protecting existing timberlands from fire and overcutting. This problem is not merely of State wide but of Nation-wide importance the Forest Service points out, because under nrotter forest protection and management Michigan can produce not onlv all the timber it needs, but lartre ouantities for export to the treeless states. The net effect of for est devastation in Michigan, accord ing to this study, was practically to destroy the softwood industry, con vert Michigan into a lumber-ir.iport ing State, and render unproductiv vast areas of land suitable only for growing timber.
