MAN and WOOD. . .From his very beginning wood has been man's best and oldest friend. It was of wood thathe made his first fires, fashioned his first weapons, erected his first shelter.It was a red-letter day in man's conquest of the sea when a floating log bore him acrossa stream. With awakening understanding he wrought from the log a canoe. And thus, in histiny wooden craft he searched for and found new hunting grounds and new peoples. He cameto understand the pulse of the ocean and the way of the wind. His canoes grew to caravels, toclippers, to ships of the line. In them he ventured beyond the horizon's rim, and the seawaysand the havens of the world came to know the form ot timbered hulls and the spreadof wooden spars. Wood alone made it possible for man to explore and conquer, to mergeand mingle, to trade treasure and exchange ideas, with lands and peoples across the sea.With the help of modern research, the range of uses of wood is being constantly extended.New values in engineered timber construction; new beauties in the application of wood arecontinually being discovered.Small wonder, then, that wood has proved man's best and oldest friend.WALLIS BROS.

C. Chaney,A.F.C., M.P.Our Navy is growing, and growingquickly. We have entered aperiod which is seeing a rapidand significant growth in theR.A.N. In this financial yearalone, expenditure on the Navywill be £95,5 million — an increaseof £27.5 million comparedwith last year.The twenty-three vessels currentlyon order for the R.A.N,include destroyers, frigates, submarines,support ships and patrolvessels. The Fleet Air Arm is ob-;aining new anti-submarine aircraft.The expanding Navy demandsmore manpower, and the numberof officers and sailors is expectedto rise by 1,400 to almost 15,000by the middle of next year.This growth will help the Navymore effectively to fulfil its roleof safeguarding the sea communicationsof an island continent.Australia's increasing internationalcommitments are reflectedin the growth of the Navy'sactivities. In the past year, ourships steamed almost 750,000miles on operational tasks, andvisited 115 ports at home andabroad. At one stage, there wereeleven Australian warships servingin South East Asian waters.Our ships have helped taketroops to Vietnam and Malaysia,and the RAN. has been assistingwith anti-infiltration patrols inMalaysian waters since mid-1964.The next twelve months willbe something of a milestone inthe development of the R.A.N.Australia's first CHARLES F.ADAMS Class destroyer, H.M.A.S.PERTH, will arrive from theUnited States, while the secondof the guided missile ships,H.M.A.S. HOBART, will commissionin Boston. The first of thefour OBERON Class submarinesfor Australia's new SubmarineSquadron will commission inBritain during 1965.Australians will soon have anopportunity to see some of thenew equipment for themselves.H.M.A.S. PERTH will visit allmainland capitals when shearrives next year.This year we are holdingnation-wide "Navy Day" observancesfor the first time. TheNaval Board was very happy tosupport the proposal of theNaval Association for nationalcelebrations, and we welcome thebacking of other organisations,such as the Navy League.The date selected for the observance— the 5th of October — isthe anniversary of the arrival ofthe RJV.N.'S first Fleet in 1913.The past fifty-two years have seenradical changes in ships andweapons, but there has been nodiminishing in the importance ofthe sea to a nation with twelvethousand miles of coastline.Our rapid Naval developmenttoday recognises the Navy's continuedresponsibility in the defenceof Australia.Parliament House,CANBERRA.7
