Thursday, Thanks giving Day is the time we should take stock of ourselves and our accomplishments and offer thanks to God for the many blessings we have re ceived during the past year. While in a timber country like ours, we sometimes do not think of giving thanks for a bountiful harvest, yet the harvesting of trees, too, can be classed as a crop, so let us be thankful for a good season, when fires did not take too great a toll of our resources. Many will be thank ful that they have family members close to home and that they can be together on this day. For others it will be a sober day, especially those who have members of their fam ilies in the Armed Forces, especially those who are in Vietnam. We have come a long ways since the days the Pilgrim Fathers gave thanks for their first harvest. Now we are contemplating sending a man or men to the moon. We’ve spent billions on this venture, and our scientists are to be complimented on their accom plishments, yet, with all our wealth and know-how, we still can’t find a cure for the com mon cold. Nevertheless we join countless others who will cease their regular labors for the day, and give thanks to God for our many blessings.

Hazards of Thinning Is Safety Topic The Hazards of thinning, selective logging and salvage logging was the topic at the meeting of the North Santi am Safety Council meeting Monday night. Troy Moore of Publishers Paper Co., Tilla mook was speaker. Moore said the purpose of thinning is the removal of the “D” trees, down, dead, diseas ed, or dangerous trees. The plan of removing these trees is to give roôm for the live and healthy trees to make pro per growth. He said some of the haz ards of this type of operation is caused by snags, hang ups, and the fact that these trees have no heavy top to carry them down. He also said that in these areas, picknickers, fern pickers, and others who are not aware of the dangers of a logging operation, can cause of lot of trouble. He advise^ that cold decks of small logs should not be piled too high, as they have a tendency to roll. Another trouble is vine ma ple, which piles up around the area, when logging is in pro gress. Some time was spent discus sing new equipment for this type of work. Moore also cau tioned that good yarding roads should be provided as a way to cut down accidents. Prior to Moore’s talk Tony Shillingburg of TOC was in troduced by Chairman Harry Way. He spoke on horse play around logging shows. He said these people are a real haz ard and “if you have any clowns on your crew, you’d better send them to a circus, before they get someone kil led.” There will be no meeting in December and the January 25 meteing will be family night.
