Winnetka 843-44 WINNETKA SS VALUE OF TREES TO MAN TOLD ROTARIANS Earl Weinstock Delivers Message on Forest Conservation Before Winnetka Club (Editor's note: Earl Weinstock, vice- president and general manager of the Winnetka Coal and Lumber company, recently gave the following address on trees at a Forestry meeting of the Winnetka Rotary club In addition to being a practical business man who has dealt in lumber for many years, Mr. Weinstock is a true lover of trees. His address is especially significant at this time when both Canadian and United States forestry authorities are engaged in an intensive campaign of forest con- servation and reforestation. In the beginning the tree was the symbol of life and the revelation of human destiny. We picture the Gar- den of Eden as embowered in trees. Trees provided the ark that saved the chosen remnant of the human race from the Deluge. In the depths of the forest prehis- toric man found a refuge from his enemies. Wood gave him his weapons, also his tools. Wood inspired him to build out of branches and leaves the first human edifice. With the passing of time the sublime structure of the towering trees exerted so great an influence upon the human race that there came into being a crude but genuine architecture. The first columns and pillars were the trunks of trees, and the various orders of architecture were developed from humble shelters of logs and timbers. Even in the early days of the Kings of Israel, architecture, with the forest as its ally, had advanced a long way. When Solomon built the great temple he turned lumberman on a mighty scale and sent 80,000 woodsmen to the mountains to cut and hew fir trees. And he called on King Hiram of Tyre for Cedars of Lebanon. Man's Kinship With Wood Because it is a product of life, man has always felt for wood a close kin-~ ship. It has been a true friend to him, and all down the years has retained his affection and his confidence. Natural- ly when man began to venture beyond the immediate environs of his own settlement, it was in conveyances made of wood; such conveyances as the primitive raft, the canoe dug out of a log, the crude sled, the bullock cart. For four thousand years all the maritime commerce of the world was transported by ships built of wood. In brief, wood carried the adventurous spirit of man out over the glove and pioneered the paths of progress leading toward modern civilization. Actually, it founded this civilization, particularly here in America. You can scarcely turn a page in the early chapters of Ameri- can History without seeing a picture of wood in some form. Trees serve so many useful purposes that it would be quite impossible to mention them all, but if you will try to imagine for a moment living in a world without trees and without any of the products that come directly or indirectly from trees. you will at once begin to realize their true importance in relation to mankind. 1. Trees absorb poisonous gases, and exhale health-giving oxygen, thus pre- serving our health. 2. They shade us from the hot sun and cool the air by evaporating mois- ture from their leaves, and they shelter us from the cold, blustering winds of winter. 3. Thev eive us many medicines to cure our ills and nurse us back to streneth. 4. Thev furnish protection and nest- (Continued on Page 57)
