FOUR MEPFOTTO MAIL TRTBTTNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRTP'AY, NOVEMBER 13, 1936. ARTISTIC MARKERS FOR FOREST AREAS ARE MADE BY CCC Many Carved Signs Turned Out in Shop . Set Up South Umpqua Falls Art Taught to Enrollees The following article Is reprinted from the News, monthly publication of the Medford CCO dletrlot! nouTH UMPQUA As you travel ' through the Umpirua national foreet, sou no doubt on many occasions, xiotlced artistic wooden signs marking roads, trails, camp sites and spots 01 scenic beauty. Perhaps you have wondered where and how these tlgns came Into existence. It la only part of the work done by the sign Hop of Company 3004. The sign shop at South Umpqua Jills came to life February J. !3 when It received Its first atoelt of material. Robert Carlaon, foreman of recreation for the national forest, arent five dayi In the camp giving Instruction In the operation of the rcutera and various tools used in the ' construction of the signs.' At' the end of that period the ehop waa (riven over to the care of Enroiiee Everett . Harris and his select crew of ' five men. The most outstanding algns con. - atructed to date are the large shield. bsped U. B. D. A; sign marking the ' entrance Into the Umpqua national forest. Cedar Is Used The material used In the construe tlnn of these signs la the very best Quality Port Orford cedar, selected lor its weather resisting qualities, It Is cut In bolt four feet Jong and ' apllt Into ahakaa varying In tildtnesa from two to five tnchee and In widths of si to 19 Inches. It Is then Hcxea nd allowed to aeason. In the construction of tho large TJ. 8. D. A. signs marking the en trance of the Umpqua national forest large shakes are selected and sent to the mill. They are planed to three - by eight Inchea and are tongued and grooved. When returned to the shop boards are selected and glued with eaalne water-proof glue to make a ign board of the desired size. The next step In the construction of the sign la finishing the surfaces of the board. Thla la generally ao ompllahed by the use of chisels and planes. Design and letters are then traced on the board by use of carrion paper. After the sign baa been designed it la then carved. A man, with a wood carving knife, carefully carves around every letter, figure or design. He does this to aid the man operating the router to produce cloan-cut char acters. Router Explained The router Is an eleotrtcslly driven tool. It consists of a amall electric motor set vertically In in adjustable frame. A bit la attached direct to the motor ahaft by a chuck. By the use of the adjustable frame the rout er oan be adjusted to out at different depths. There are two different methods of preparing the designs on the signs. The first method la routing the de sign In the sign board, and the sec ond Is routing out that Is, leaving the characters on the sign to stand out in relief. The large D. A. signs are generally of the second type, routed out In relief, To do this the men operating the router works carefully around the designs lesvlng clean cut charac ters. When this la accomplished he hurriedly routs out the remainder of the board allowing the charactv-a to land out In bold relief. The burning of the sign with blow torch gives artistic light and oark ahadlng. A coating of creosote paint preserves the sign. In addition to the above, the paint hop, operated In conjunction with the sign shop, turns out hundreds of black and white markera. These markers are painted with weather resisting aluminum paint. The let ters aro placed on the boards by the use of rubber atamps. A cost of black paint la then applied, by Band, to each letter. fltnee the ahop began operstlon m February. IS men have received train ing In the shop. They bsre produced 9B7 signs. Of these sevrn are of the large U. S. D. A. algns; 40 are larger border signs designed on both sides marking entrance Into Umpqua na tional forest. The remainder of the signs are small algna marking trails and camp-sltcs. In sddltlon to the above a number of clever and artlstlo signs have been made for the camp and individuals rlter work hours.

The newspaper "Troud," organ of the central committee, rebuked trade union members for considering such matters "trifles," pointing out that they increase the productivity of la bor and thus become problems of state Importance.

Unfortunately they could not be used by the work ers, for they were Intended for the rich. However, the need for such a book is tremendous and our scien tific workers should think, seriously over this question. In the meantime we suggest the publlctlon In the cal endars of 1037 a menu for each day." A housewife, wrote, "I have been married six months and my husband laughs at my cooking, but It ts Im possible to buy a cookbook."
