The Heavy Mortar Company of the 162 Inf., (National Guard» will entrain for summer camp June 10th. Capt. Merlin Bullard announced yesterday. The Heavy Mortar Co. is now the only nation al Kuard unit up to full strength. Full strength of this unit consists of 121 enlisted men and six of ficers. The summer training pe riod this year will be held at Fort Lewis and will run the full two weeks from June 11th to the 25th. Officers and men of the local unit are badly in need of the training provided during this pe riod and officers have expressed a hope that the trainees will have full cooperation from their em ployers in arranging for the time off necessary for the training pe riod. Training in the National Guani is recognized as being on par with regular service with the army; guard officers and men however have the advantage of getting the training without hav ing to go to the cx|M'nse or trouble of spending a year in regular army service. It was also announced that the Heavy Mortar Company here had received five more mortars, giv ing the unit full equipment. Sev eral members of the local com pany expect to leave the locality | after the close of school, thus ' creating a few vacancies. Any one ■ interested in enlisting should con tact officers of the Heavy Mortar Company or report to the armory on the night the unit trains. IT’S GETTING THERE THAT «HUNTS Loggers over the Northwest have gotten a great deal of pub licity the past few months on fall ing the greatest number of logs. G. A. King employed by the Beach Logging Co. as a faller, is con- sidcred among the top men of this section when it comes to falling logs although he has not worked at this job many months, or rath er he has not been continuously- employed in the logging business. He says the best he has done so far is to aid in falling 101 logs in four hours. With modern equip ment it’s a matter of minutes to fall the biggest tree. A good logger can fall a four foot tree in forty- minutes using a power saw. ac cording to King. It's not so much the matter of how fast you can saw a log. but how fast you can get around and get set according to Mr. King.
