A New Wood Preservative

The world owes much to pioneers who blazed the way against many obstacles in teaching wood preservation and conservation, and to the Forestry schools that have been established and to there students who carried on and are still carrying on. Not so many years ago the general opinion held that “there was plenty of wood standing for all time.” Today, conservation of wood is a reality and the world is conserving wood. While much has been done and much is yet being done we find the two old enemies of wood, Fire and Decay, taking an enormous annual toll

One Third of a Nation

Setting by Howard Bay ; a Living Newspaper theatrical production that was produced by the Federal Theatre Project in 1938. It focused on the problem of housing in the United States and the growth of slums in New York. There are quite a few theatrical techniques that are noteworthy in this production. The first one is the concept of the 'little man', an ordinary person with little or no power over his surroundings. He is only a mute spectator and goes where the tide takes him. The little man is conventionally an impoverished person with little access to resources, always suppressed by 'Big Men', usually capitalists or landlords. The play depicts him as travelling through one hundred years, witnessing corruption and ill administration throughout his journeys. As the story moves on, he emerges as the protagonist. He plays a vital role in fulfilling the Living Newspaper's function as a social commentary
