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.

Loss of a, leg 48 year ago haa been
no handicap to Arthur O. Tllney,
Crawford s Wile 'a "bicycling ahoo repair
man." Today the 60year-oid veteran
looka back upon an estimated 78,000
mllea of peddling ovor tho highways
and alderoada of America.
The cyclist, a familiar Sunday af
ternoon figure on the roads sur
rounding Omwfordavllle, auffered am
putation of his left leg at tho hip
when he waa 13. A year later In 1880,
be recalls, he rodo hie first bicycle
high-wheeled trick machine. t
In hla 76,000 mllea of cycling tho
"veteran of the highways" haa worn
out four bikes and la now riding his
fifth. He waa run down twice by au
tomobiles -but never Injured serious-
The longest Journey he ever made
via the bicycle was an 829 -mile trip
to Atlantic City, Tlluey says. He was
on the road eight weeks and two days.
From Atlantic nity the one-legged
cyclist peddled bis way to Niagara
Fails, crossed Into Canada and re-1
turned home by way of Detroit and
South Bend, Ind.
The veteran cycling enthusiast re
calls many trips made as a & mem
ber of the Crawford svllle Cycling
club, one of the city's most popular
onga nidations In the early DO.
Tllney took; up cycling on the ad
vice of hla father, a pioneer Craw
fordsrllle physician. Today at 60 he
enjoys good health and anticipates
many more miles of traveling.

MOSCOW (UP) Traa unlona of
the Soviet Union, exercising social,
political and cultural functions In
asmuch as the state is the sole em-
ployer In the U. S. S. B., are urged
by the central committee of trade
unions to facilitate easing of home
work. lor workers' wives, organize de
livery of foodstuffs, check up on the
life and education of children and
the general culture of the family.
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.
"Troud 's" editorial said:
"The party (communist party)
committee and the factory committee
of the Trekhgornaya textile factory
together with Troud' will organize
a conference for discussion of a num
ber of questions of life.
Survey Being Mde
"The conference has as Its aim to
reveal the most Important needs and
demands of a worker's family. Pre
paring for the conference the party
and trade union members, wives of
engineers and technicians are al
ready checking up the work of dining j
rooms, children's institutions, etc.
"Special attention will be paid to
women Stakhanovltes, how they co
ordinate motherhood with factory
work, tho life of tho housewife, the
life of divorced women and the Jives
of their children. ...... . ...
The conference will pay special
attention to the question of culture
what part Is played In the work
er's family by books, newspapers, cin
ema, theater, sports, food, new cloth
ing, new and 'former holidays; how
the remnants of the past, I.e. alcohol.
toys to buy them, how to cook food
snd prepare menus.
Cook Book for Rich
In answer, R. BikXe, chief cook of
factory-kitchen No. X of the Trekhor
naya factory wrote;
"There were several cookery books
before the revolution.. 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."
Another complained in a letter to
"Troud" that her family had a large
Income, but that two years ago her ;
household utensils had been destroyed
by fire and that since she could not
organize her housework because al
though she had money, to pay for
tnem, cooKing utensils could not be

LAID OFF FROM WORK
BY CONSTIPATION
"For four scars I suffered from
constipation. I had gotten so weak
I had to lay off from work. My
doctor told me to use Kellogg's
All-Bran. Since then, mv crrncprv
list has never been complete with
out it." Mr. A. W. Murphy, 1010

This delicious cereal will give
you the same, sure relief. Labora
tory tests prove it's safe. Within
tho body, its "bulk" absorbs mois
ture, forms -a soft mass, gently
cleanses the intestines. All-Bran
also furnishes vitamin B which
tones the intestines, and iron for
the blood.
