 +=====Editorial - The Planting Of Trees.===== 
 +  
 +In his letter to the "Herald" on August 25th., Alan Wyborn sets out clearly some of the elements of tree propogation of which many walkers seem quite ignorant. He points out that "In many areas... tree planting is unnecessary as natural regeneration is able to provide more trees, always allowing that heavy losses do not occur by storm, fire, pests, or bad management." The shibboleth which so readily comes to the tongues of many walkers - the planting of two trees for every one cut down - is not only futile, but diverts attention from the main problem. Even in those areas where is no forest growth and therefore no natural regeneration the planting of trees, though a big task, is relatively minor in the process of sylviculture. Unless the ground has been prepared and protection afforded from animals, and unless the trees are cared for and protected from fire they have little chance of growing. Even if the impossible precept of planting (and growing) two trees for every one cut down were carried out, future generations would become very hungry as the steadily increasing trees encroached on agricultural land.

 Another point brought forward by Alan Wyborn is that "As regards the conservation of rare species of indigenous trees, like the cedar, it would seem that their only haven is in national parks and primitive reserves". Tree owners, like most other people, prefer money to scenery, and will sell their trees for cash. Protests against removal of timber from private land are not likely to achieve anything. The ideal to strive for is reservation in primitive reserves and subsequent protection from fire. Another point brought forward by Alan Wyborn is that "As regards the conservation of rare species of indigenous trees, like the cedar, it would seem that their only haven is in national parks and primitive reserves".

-T OUR AUGUST MEETING. + 
-The President was in the Chair and there were about 50 meMbers present. Two new members, Bill Gillam and Bill Hancock, were welcomed.. +---- 
-After some discussion it was decided to bold next year's Photographic Exhibition on a Friday night at some other location to be arranged (preferably a well-lit gallery) and that the Club Room be closed on that night. The motion was opposed by Mr. Hardie who said that the Photographic Section was having things too much its own way and was already costing the Club 26 a year. Mr. Cotter, replyin- to these observations, said that no doubt Mr. Hardio's exhibits would be seen to best advantage in the dim light of Ingereoll Hall. + 
-When the Narrow Necks discussion was reaChed it was resolved that Mr. Hardie Should contact Mr. Compagnoni directly. +=====At Our August Meeting.===== 
-It was resolved that letters of thanks be sent to Paddy Pallin , obtained wire for the fencing at Era a and to Mr. Doug. Davidson, who provided transport for tools, trees and equipment. + 
-It was decided that Phil Hall's private subecription list for the "Save the Children" Fund be kept open till the 21st Birthday Party in the hope, it seems, that the stingy would give out on thatnight. +The President was in the Chair and there were about 50 members present. 
-There wore no nominations for the offlees of Vice-President, Federation Dtlegato, or substituta Federation Delegate, which therefore remain vacant. + 
-The meeting; which waP,ene of the dullest on record, closed at 9.5 p.m. +Two new members, Bill Gillam and Bill Hancock, were welcomed. 
-SOCIAL NOTES FOR SEPTEMBER 1948. + 
-Those people who saw some of Marcel Siedleris work on a recent programme, will be pleased to know that we will again have the opportunity to see more of. his films on 11th September. Snow revellers will be looking forward to his film on Kosciusko, which is excellent. +After some discussion it was decided to hold next year's Photographic Exhibition on a Friday night at some other location to be arranged (preferably a well-lit gallery) and that the Club Room be closed on that night.

 but the tourist car was past. Fortunately PTIF have bright, keen oyes as a rule, and my sheet of newspaper impaled at the 'roadside fetched them up short. We were eight, including three PWF (Misses Hardy, the original of the species, Mowbray and Barden). I was dismayed that Dot Butler hadn't been able to make it - the weak women would be able to remain unashamedly weak. For the rest - Eric Rowon, Ira Butler, Gil Webb and guest Bob Dearden. but the tourist car was past.

 - As a party we were incredibly good at getting established (i found later not so hot at getting moving). I led a bucket brigade to the spring before light faded, tents blossomed around the caravan, and in wonderful timo tea was ready. One minor racket noted - our food list said peas - the pot produced cauliflower. But with roas at 1/9d. per lb. I fool some slight remorse at even mentioning this. - As a party we were incredibly good at getting established (i found later not so hot at getting moving).
