The Frosen Logger . . What the charm Is I'll be barked if I know. The song tells of the love of a "six-foot-seven" waitress for a logger who stirred his coffee with his thumb, and "He never shaved the whiskers From off his horny hide, But he'd pound 'em in with a hammer, Then bile 'em off inside." The ballad goes on to tell that this rugged logger was finally -caught in a blue snow. At a hun dred degrees below zero he but toned up his vest, at a thousand he froze so hard they made axes out of him. Twenty years ago I wrote that piece in an idle moment and tried to forget it, but it has haunted me ever since. Now a song pub lisher is printing it to sell and Burl Ives has it in his songbag. This all leaves me in the po sition of presenting the logger as a rough and tough customer all the way through, while in reality he is today a man of dis tinction, a wearer of fine duds and handsome manners, a patron of the arts and likely as not a Women Abuse Watches Says One Who Knows Elgin, 111. (U.R) A woman abuses a watch more than a man does, a watchmaking expert says, William H. Samelius. Elgin Watchmakers college director, said the first thing he looks for when a woman complain? about her watch is face powder. It clogs the movement. Also, perfume dries up the delicate lubricating oil. He said another common fault of a woman is her habit of leav ing her watch unwound until she dresses for an evening out. Like humans, a watch needs constant exercise to keep in shape. j- .T"".-... GENUINE OFFICIAL SECRET msm bbk J SENT I (A WHEN YOU BUY SIX 12-OZ.

KYJC DIAL 1230" Search For Beauty Foils Americans, Artist Declares Chicago (U.R) A Viennese born artists says Americans are, "hungry for beauty" but they are thwarted when they seek beauty in their workday lives. They are spending more and more time at home in an effort to escape, said James Seeman, a mural painter with an ur?e to "create a whole new atmos phere'' in the average home. "What does the average per son see in the course of a day? Ugly buildings, railroad and streetcar tracks, smoky skies things that assault the senses," Seeman said. The average person seeks ref uge in his home except when he can get away for a vacation. But for years, the atmosphere around most homes has been drab and uninteresting, Seeman said. Atmosphere Stressed Now Americans can get away from their uninteresting every day surroundings in their own homes. "Think of eating breakfast in the atmosphere of San Francis co's Fishermen's Wharf, or over looking the southern coastline of France,'1 he suggested. Seeman has painted those scenes on wallpaper from photo graphs and actual trips he made to those places. He also has painted on "paper murals" the New Orleans French quarter, a Persian scene, the streets of old New York "for an escape from the modern" and an authentic Chinese landscape. Another French design called "four seasons" has great variety, he said. The onlooker can alter his surroundings to his mood merelv by turning his chair. Room Personality "People who have tried it say it works wonders," Seeman said. "They say it is so refreshing, ex hilarating to walk into a room that has personality and not just tour drab walls." It is inexpensive, too. he said. because while the wallpaper it relf costs a little more, it re quires no pictures and only the simplest 'urniture nnd rues. Seem?n said he would like to go to Hawaii for his next de signs. He said he Is convinced that Dlain-colored walls are fast be coming outmoded. 'P a n walls, as someone once noted, are the refuire of the ar tistically destitute." he said.

So I tell about the logger in this place atoning for "The Frozen Logger." Loggers In The Laboratory The other day 1 was at Oregon State college, helping the forest ers there celebrate the 40lh an niversary of the forestry school. As usual, my chief part in the proceedings turned out to be a rendering of "The Frozen Log ger" and ballads more ancient in my sawtooth tenor. But I also enjoyed a tour of the Oregon Forest Products laboratory, which was authorized by the leg islature in 1941, and became a highlv organized and equipped institution in 1947 under OSC forestry school's Dean Paul M. Dunn. In large measure, this labora tory is of, by and for the loggers. The West Coast Lumbermen's association took the lead in driv ing for this program for many years, as with other programs of forest research both inside and outside the industry. The asso ciation is represented on the lab oratory's advisory committee. An amazing amount of prac tical research work has been done in the short time of the lab oratory's life. Facing the urgent need to seek ways and means to make marketable products of material that was being left in the woods, and facing the fact of a great volume of over-age timber in Oregon forests the staff pitched in for shirt-sleeve research on these and related problems. Today there is a permanent re search staff of 24. Dean Dunn's technical director is Dr. Phimis ter B. Proctor. William J. Baker is chief of the technical admin istrative division and Dr. E. F. Kurth heads up chemical utiliza tion. The others are highly quali fied technical specialists who de serve all kinds of praise and fiowers. Hut dlnrv U nnt the demand of these men. What they want is stronger interest in their woric from the people of the woods anri willc ThllV tt'9n( it kllOWO throughout the industry that the uregon forest rroaucis laooia tory can help on utilization prob- la: ic nt inHiuirinal nnpratinns. They invite visitors, be they wage-earning wooas men or bankers who are responsible for lumber loans. A Sight For Sore Eyas Would you call it magic worth seeing to witness the transforma tion of douglas fir bark into wax bees might envy? Fibreboard from sawdust Is more common place, and work on this at the OSC laboratory has led to pay roll Increase already in Oregon. The laboratory also made a mar ketable pole out of the lodgepole pine. Kiln-drying experiments are of first importance. I brought home the prettiest piece of oak I ever did see. Tan oak It is. Down on the Oregon coast the tan oak tree grows big logs. The bark is prime for tanning uses. It has been com mon to see stripped logs left to rot because the wood kinks hor ribly in common drying. At Cor vallis they are finding ways to bring the beauty of tan oak into fine uses. But go see for yourself. Or write to Dean Paul M. Dunn for Circular 3. Learn about a re search center of which all the northwest should be proud. And now I can render "The Frozen Logger" with a clearer conscience.
