Big Four Lumber
Company Operating
Two Shifts Daily
By MILLIE WILSON
The Big 4 Lumber company
started a second shift at the mill
in Monument last week. The first
shift starts at 5 o'clock a. m. and
quits at 1:30 p. m. The second
crew starts at 1:30 and quits at
10 p. m. The management expects
the two crews to put out at least
100,000 foot per day. They have
an adequate hauling crew to
keep the lumber rolling towards
Heppner. Zimmerman with his
trucks has been hired to haul.
That makes four trucks on the
first shift and three on the sec
ond. Mr. and Mrs. Mick Cimmiyotti
had the misfortune to lose their
home and all its contents by fire
Monday night. There was such
a strong breeze that their bunk
house was ignited by sparks and
also burned. The fire started in
the light plant house. The gas
oline exploded just after they
discovered the fire. They were
able to ring the fire signal on
the phone line. Several neighbors
heard it and went at once but it
was too far gone to do anything
but try to save the other build
ings. Thursday the women of the
community led by the ladies of
the auxiliary gave Mrs. Cimmi
yotti a miscellaneous household
shower in the grange hall in
Monument. There were 29 ladies
present and Mrs. Cimmiyotti was
the recipient of many nice and
useful gifts, which will help in
getting started in a new home.
The plans are now that they will
build a temporary building to
house them until the harvest
work is over.
George Gray took his daughter
Georgie May to the hospital in

recovery.

1. Keeping night patrol throughout the West, hun
dreds of telephone people are on duty to help meet
emergencies and make sure your telephone will be
ready to work for you when you want it. Many main
tenance jobs are done at night while most telephone
users are asleep. Lines are checked with electronic
testers. Sensitive switching equipment is vacuum
cleaned to help stop trouble before it starts.
3. Day or night, workday or holiday, your telephone
remains one of your most valuable and useful servants.
In spite of postwar inflation, telephone rates have
gone up far less than our costs of providing service.
On the average, rates have gone up less than half as
much as the cost of living generally. A few pennies
still buy a call . . . whether it be important or routine.
Your telephone still gives you a big value for your
budget dollar.

2. In the quiet hours of the night, operators handle
relatively few calls ... but often they are unusually
important. Repairmen are on call for service on im
portant lines . . . doctors, hospitals and the like. Ga
ragemen check and equip trucks for the next day's
installation rounds. Building service workers make
offices spic and span. All have an important part in
keeping your service reliable.
