Christmas Trees Available -All You Do Is Ask Millions of Christmas trees on public lands are available for the asking.

This week the asking was made a little easier. Formerly, anyone who wanted to cut a young fir, spruce or pine from the 28 million acres of public woodland administered by the U. S. bureau of land management was required to fill in as many as 20 blanks on an official form, send it to a BLM office, then sit back and wait. The bureau has now distributed to regional offices a simplified form, requiring merely the applicant's name, address, number of trees wanted (limit: 'three) and their approximate location.

Application can even be made by telephone. Further departure from officious red tape: a Santa Claus silhouette on the application blank.
