For Syrian adults, as well as children, this day Is a dramatic reminder of the need to conserve and rebuild the countrys forest reserves which have been depleted by the military requirements of two world wars and haphazard cutting of trees. In past centuries, Syrias mountains were covered with the rich forests. But this precious source of natural wealth dwindled during critical periods of the countrys history. During the First World War no charcoal was available to fuel the trains carrying Turkish troops who occupied the country, so large quantities of timber were used as substitute fuel. The rich forest lands were also diminished hy the standard down trees to create pasture land or to turn Sractlce of cutting areas Into agricultural fields. Eventually much of this land became barren and valuable topsoil was swept away. Since achieving Independence, the Syrian Government has attempted to compensate for the losses of past years. Authorities are enforcing a strict policy of guarding the country's one million acres of forest reserves. In Western Syria, the forests are still threatened by tobacco planters who cut the green tree branches for their own use. The Government is withholding licenses for excessive wood cutting and Increasing, the number of forest And in the section, the guards and guard-postGovernment is limiting forest clearings and trying to find other Sasture lands for the cattle and goats of- the bedouins who inhabit s. The superior man is he who develops in harmonious proportions, his moral, Intellectual, and physical nature. Douglas Jerfold , t mid-easte- rn educaAll these measures are accompanied by a nation-wid- e tional campaign which encourages individual citizens to plant trees in all sections of the country. This campaign, culminating in Arbor Day, is designed to Insure a great forest legacy of beauty and wealth for the future generations of Syria.
