Improved utilization of tropical forests subject of meeting at Madison laboratory
Dr. K.F.S. King, Assistant Director-General of the Forestry Department, FAO, will keynote the International Conference, "improved Utilization of Tropical Forests," which will be held in Madison, Wisconsin (U.S.A.), 21-26 May 1978.
Dr. King's address on the implications of research and the use of tropical forests on the world community will lead off the eight sessions now planned. The sessions include an opening general to the tropical forest resource and closing summation of technical papers; two sessions on silviculture, harvesting, and the environment; two sessions on tropical wood products research; and two sessions on industrial practice and investment considerations.
The two sessions on research will encompass a wide variety of fibre products and deal with the experiences of the United Kingdom's Tropical Products Institute, France's Centre technique forestier tropical, the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, the University of the Philippines and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory work as part of the U.S. Agency for International Development Study.
The last two technical sessions will cover industrial practice in all three major tropical areas-Africa, South America and southeast Asia. Detailed investment considerations including a preliminary industrial survey for market pulp mills and an analysis of problems in process chemical production in developing countries will be presented.
All topics will get both a broad, global overview, as in some of the papers by FAO representatives, and a more detailed treatment in the technical papers presented by industrial and laboratory representatives.
A tour of the Forest Products Laboratory has been scheduled for a special session before presentation of the research papers.
Although almost all topics for the conference are now set, organizers will consider papers to be given by title and included in the officially published Conference Papers. These papers can also be discussed in the informal evening sessions.
A brochure, containing the agenda and registration information, is available upon request. Registration fee, which will be $95 per registrant, will provide a copy of the Conference Papers, four luncheons, conference dinner, and reception.
Further information on the conference can be obtained from: Tropical Hardwoods Programme Manager, USDA, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, P.O. Box 5130, Madison, Wisconsin 53705, U.S.A.; phone: (608) 257-2211.

8th World Forestry Congress, Djakarta, Indonesia, 16-28 October 1978
Theme and scope of congress
The theme of the 8th World Forestry Congress is Forests for People and it will be developed in five major discussion areas: Forestry for Rural Communities (FRC), Forestry for Food (FFF), Forestry for Employment Promotion (FEP), Forestry for Industrial Development (FID), and Forestry for Quality of Life (FQL). A total of topics for the five areas have been singled out provisionally, as shown in Appendix 1, which was published in Unasylva No. 115.
Papers (there will be four different categories of papers)
POSITION PAPERS
A position paper is intended to provide an authoritative statement of world-wide significance, on the whole of one of the 30 selected topics on the Congress agenda, including relevant material from the other categories of papers. Position papers will serve as a basis for discussion at the Congress. After the Congress, they will be revised by the author - if need be - in the light of the discussion that will have been held during the Congress, for inclusion in the official proceedings of the Congress.
A position paper should have between 5 000 and 10 000 words, including the author's summary of not more than 500 words in the same language as the paper. It should be submitted in one of the three official languages of the Congress, i.e., in English, French or Spanish. A brief table of contents should be prepared. The table of contents and the summary should be on separate pages and should precede the main paper. Each position paper will be translated in full into the two other official languages of the Congress.
Invitations for the submission of position papers will be issued by the Chairman of the Organizing Committee.
SPECIAL PAPERS
Special papers are intended to provide an authoritative detailed account of part of one of the 30 selected topics on the Congress agenda. Special papers, therefore, will be more restricted in coverage than will position papers, but their treatment of the subject is expected to be deeper.
A special paper should have between 2 500 and 5 000 words, including the author's summary of not more than 300 words in the same language as the paper. It should be submitted in one of the three official languages of the Congress, i.e., in English, French or Spanish. A brief table of contents should be prepared. The table of contents and the summary should be on separate pages and should precede the main paper. Special papers will be printed in full in the original language only, but the summaries will be printed in the three official languages of the Congress.
Invitations for the submission of special papers will be issued by the Associate Secretary-General of the Congress, on behalf of the Organizing Committee.
VOLUNTARY PAPERS
Voluntary papers need not deal with part of one of the 30 selected topics on the Congress agenda, but must only be related directly, or even indirectly, to one of the 30 selected topics.
Voluntary papers should be in one of the three official languages of the Congress, i.e., in English, French, or Spanish. They should be less than 2 500 words in length, including the author's summary of about 200 words in the same language as the paper. A brief table of contents should be prepared. The table of contents and the summary should be on separate pages and should precede the main paper. Voluntary papers will be printed in full in the original language only, but the summaries will be printed in the three official languages of the Congress.
INVITED IUFRO PAPERS
Contrary to the other three categories of papers mentioned above, each of which is intended to deal with no more than one topic on the Congress agenda, or with only one part of it, invited IUFRO papers will single out and elaborate upon the research aspects which are proper to the group of topics in each major discussion area.
Invitations for the submission of IUFRO papers will be issued by the Associate Secretary-General of the Congress, on behalf of the Organizing Committee and at the suggestion of the IUFRO Divisional Coordinator concerned.
An invited IUFRO paper should have about 5 000 words and a summary of 300 500 words in the same language as the paper. It should be submitted in one of the three official languages of the Congress, i.e., in English, French, or Spanish. A brief table of contents should be prepared. The table of contents and the summary should be on separate pages and should precede the main paper. Invited IUFRO papers will be printed in full in the original language only, but the summaries will be printed in the three official languages of the Congress.
Format for papers
TYPING
Papers will be reproduced directly from the original manuscript by an offset process and, therefore, must be presented in standardized format. The manuscript should be typed on heavy
bond paper of approximately this size with a margin of 2 cm all round. The text should be single spaced with double spacing between the paragraphs. Only one side of the paper should be used. Paragraphs and page numbers should follow the format of this paper. Headings should follow this format:
Summary (or) Contents (or) Introduction
Second order headings
Third order headings
Fourth order headings
It should be noted that all cover pages will be prepared by the Organizing Committee.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Papers may be accompanied by essential illustrative and tabular material for purposes of clarification. The Organizing Committee reserves right to reduce or eliminate such material in the interest of brevity or to make possible reproduction of the paper. Line drawings or graphs should be prepared in black India ink on good-quality paper. They should be inserted at the appropriate place in the text, at the size desired for reproduction.
