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.

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.

"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.
