In this last month I've heard
more talk about DIETS than I've
ever heard in the last twenty
years. Perhaps it is just a fad and
will not amount to too much,
rbut then again it is a GOOD fad
and should be kept alive.
I know several people who are
quite happy over their weight
loss and keep urging their friends
to ,try .their method. By the time

is a meeting for'the mothers —

organizing a power supply or

Calling it a `Booster' Club will
be confusing since we already
have a well known `Booster
Club' — but the name will come
later: These gals — if they are

together and we sure need them.
They are young and . good

Here is. a complete and
authentic story of trees. The
author, . Stanley M. Jepsen,
shows us the kingdom of trees
through the eyes of the
naturalist, conservationist and
forester. He covers the life cycle
of trees from beginning to end,
discussing such topics as how a
forest is bora, how trees
reproduce and how lumber is
made.
Jepsen ' studied forestry for
over fifteen years and has taught
forestry and life science in the
public schools. He currently
holds the position of Chief of
Conservation Education in the
United States.
He introduces trees as old
friends in the hope that the-
more
he-more we know about them the
more we will enjoy and respect
them. There are over 125 living
pictures to enable you to watch
such things as seed. being
Planted by squirrels and sown by
the wind. You will meet' forest
creatures that protect trees for
their . own survival, and still
others that destroy trees so they
themselves may live. You will
learn how extensively man
depends on trees and how these
trees 'protect the very soil upon
which he lives. You will read
about trees 4;600 years old,
continuing to live on the outside
long after they died on the
inside.
The combination of this
unusual presentation and
authoritative information make
the book enjoyable as well as
educational. '
