roleindeter- minlng foresters salaries We have tended to shy away from this as a matter which should be the concern of other organizations he said The Association has made survey of the salaries paid pro professional � fessional foresters and Mr Le Lejeune � jeune suggested recommenda recommendations � tions might be made to em employers � ployers on salary scales com commensurate � mensurate with the degree of responsibility and competence required of their foresters Mr Lejeune also revealed that there are many non-member foresters who are practis- ing forestry contrary to the terms of a
