Wagoner to end TFA career

„ ^ 42-year career in
forestry wh$n he retires as
executive vice president of
tile Texas,Forestry Associa-
tion at the end of the year.
Wagoner joined the TFA
staff in IMS, when the posi-
tion of executive secretary
became open. For six mon-
bu nnuvnm
retiring from TFA
ween Lufkin and College Sta-
tion, where he worked as
head of the education section
of the Texas Forest Service.
A 1941 graduate of the
forestry school of the
University of Georgia,
Wagoner worked for the
Ohio Division of Forestry
and the Kentucky Division of
Forestry until 1948.
He was a supply officer
with the Army Air Corps in
the Pacific Theater during
World War II.
In 1948 Wagoner enrolled
in the master’s program at
Duke University in North
Carolina.
He came to Texas to ac-
cept the position in the
education section of the TFS
after completing his
master’s degree work in
1949.
When Wagoner became
executive secretary the TFA
had a membership of about
600 and an annual operating
budget of $15,000.

Today, the association has
2,500 paid members and a
budget of $186,000.
Among ' the ac-
complishments of the TFA
since Wagoner took office
are the building of an
association headquarters in
Lufkin and the opening of the
Texas Forestry Museum in
1976.
The passage of a state
stock law and the Forest
Pest Control Act, which
allows the Texas Forest Ser-
vice to go onto to private
land to control pine beetle
outbreaks, are among the
legislative victories of the
association.
Long an advocate of
reforestation and "whole
tree” ultilization, Wagoner
has seen the attitude of the
timber industry in the South
catch up with him.
When he first came to
Texas the practice of the
timber industry was to cut
the trees and move the mill
with little thought being
given to future timber sup-
plies.
Most of the waste of these
“peckerwood” mills was
burned at the mill site in
teepee burners.
Today, the timber-using
industries are actively
engaged in tree farming and
the Tree Farmer program
has encouraged thousands of
small landholders to raise
timber as a crop.
And the waste is no longer
waste.
Sawdust, chips and shav-
ings are used in the produc-
tion of paper and particle
board Instead of being burn-
ed.
With the launching of the
Tree Reforestation Program
(TRe) in 1980, private funds
became a vails Me to assist
small landowners in
reforestation and tree stand
improvement projects.
The program was design-
ed to help replace funds be-
ing cut from the federal
Forestry Incentives Pro-
gram.
Since its incepetion, TRe
has helped regenerate over
22,000 acres of East Texas
timberlands, Wagoner said.
And Wagoner has practic-
ed what he preached about
forest farming.
In 1966 he used borrowed
money to acquire a 250-acre
tree farm and has already
received more than the pur-
chase price of the land from
timber sales.
The TFA board of direc-
tors will meet prior to the
association’s annual
meeting in October in Beau-
mont and may announce a
replacement for Wagoner
during the meeting.

"Thanks for
helping me
Dear Aim Landers: I was
one of those women who
binged and purged. I did it
six or seven times a day for
nearly seven years. It began
with a diet in high school that
somehow tamed into anorex-
ia nervosa. My parents sent
me to a doctor (male) who
dMat have the slightest Idea
of how to help me.
In college I went to
another doctor (also mle)
who was supposed to be a
specialist In treating
bulimia. After 13 weeks he
had me convinced that
breaking ttte habit was easy
If I ’’set my mind to it” I
knew he wasn’t helping me
and was sure I would die of a
chemical imbalance before I
was 19 - If I didn’t commit
suicide first
A few days after finishing
my finals I saw the letter In
your column signed “Heal-
ing Slowly” and decided to
give It one last try. I went to
a woman physician this
time. She helped me unders-
tand the reason for my
strange behavior. Once 1
understood, I was able to
free myself of the vicious
habit.
It has been
since I walked Into that
physician’s office, and I win
never go back to my old
ways again. Thanks, Ann,
for printing letters that real-
ly help people. Yousavedmy
We.- Ithaca Mirade
Dear Ithaca: I appreciate
your generosity but nobody
saves anybody. Everyone
must save himself. The let-
ter I ran gave you the im-
petus to give it another try
and your wonderful doctor
showed you the way out of
the maze. But the real work
was done by you. Con-
gratulations.
Dear Ann Landers: I’m a
18-year-old girl who wants
you to know how much I ap-
preciate you being there for
people like me to unload on.
The only ether person I can
discuss this with Is my
boyfriend, and he Is sick of
the subject.
It’s my father. We live in a
northern suburb of Chicago
where there are lots of out-
door barbecues - mostly
Almost every night Dad
drinks too much, gets load
and obnoxious and embar-
rasses the whole family. *
His language Is terrible
and he acts so crude it Is
revolting. It’s all I can do to
keep from screaming.
Sometimes I feel like I am
the adult and he is the
teenager.
When I ask him to please
quiet down, he shoves me or
lands a fist on my back - a
lot harder than he thinks -
and keeps mumbling, “I am
in perfect control of myself.
You are a snotty kid who
likes to make trouble.” My
mother is as humiliated as I
am but she never says
anything.
I knew there Is no solution
to this problem but I want to
say thanks for letting me
dump on you.-Gritting My
Teeth in Winnetka.
Dear Grit: You can do
more than grit your teeth.
You (and your mother) can
look up Al-Anon in the phone
book and start to attend their
meetings. Or you can attend !
Al-Ateen meetings. This !
organization la NOT for I
alcoholic teenagers. It is for <
teenagers with alcoholic |
parents.
You cannot change your
father’s behavior, but you
can change your reaction to
it Instead of being angry,
humiliated and enraged, Al-
Anon will help you to become \
self-assured, understanding
and serene. Please go. It’s ■
free and wonderfully helpful ;
to be able to talk to people ;
your age who share the same <
problem. _
