He has been owner of the Lamb Scaling Bureau, Salem, for about 20 years. He has worked in the woods most of his life. He learned to fly at Albany, Oregon, when he was 46, "just a few years ago." j Son-ln-Law Helps Assisting him now is his son-in-law, Leonard Cain, 25, who also is a seaplane pilot with about 175 hours. Lamb often sets down beside a raft entow, ties up his- "water wings" and measures the footage as the raft, plane and scaler flows gently down the stream. He carries his scale stick, a measuring staff with knife-like spikes on the end, in a pair of clamps alongside the plane's pon toons. When Lamb is not scaling logs, he likes to fly to some remote lake and fish from the plane. Even Mrs. Lamb is getting the flying habit, he said.
