Expert Craftsmanship—Fast Service Too
I’m thanking God for giving me eyes to see such a
beautiful sight and a brain to realize its worth.
Do you know what is in our forest? I have worked
in it, “loved it and lived it’’ for over sixty years and be
lieve me I know what is up there in those hills.
Our forest is a living home for our Deer, Elk, Bear,
Wild Cats, Cougers, Beaver, Otter, Moutain Boomers,
Skunks, Mink, Weasel, Rabbits, Pheasants, Birds, Bees,
Pine Squirrels, Chipmunks and in the spring it is one of
Gods loveliest flower gardens. When Autumn turns the
dogwood and vine maple leaves to gold, yellow and red
and silver it is one of the most beautiful sights ever.
The forest builds our homes, that forest is our
water shed for our drinking water, for the water that
runs the turbines that generate and furnishes lights and
power for the whole northwest, and the water to irri
gate the farms that raises the food that we eat and be
lieve me we need that forest to live.

Ronald Cannon
Graduates From
Navy Training Base
SAN DIEGO, CALIF.,—
Seaman Recruit Ronald D.
Cannon, USN, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charlie W. Cannon of
Route 1 Lyons, Ore., has been
graduated from nine weeks
of Navy basic training at the
Naval Training Center here.
In the first weeks of his
naval service he studied mil
itary subjects and lived and
worked under conditions
similar to those he will en
counter on his first ship or
at his first shore station.
In making the transition
from civilian life to Naval
service, he received instruc
tion under veteran Navy
petty officers. He studied sea
manship, as well as survival
technigues, military drill and
other subjects.
Woman Holds Down
Whistle Punk Job
DETROIT— During World
War II, it was not uncom
mon to see or hear of the
fairer sex holding down
jobs heretofore considered as
a man’s job. During that per
iod several women were
hired in the upper North
Santiam Canyon to do just
that. A woman was hired
by DuBois Logging Co., as a
“whistle punk’’ the phrase
meaning signals, and two la
dies held a post at Marion
Lake in 1943.
A woman manned a look
out station, Stahlman Point
in 1951. A spokesman at the
ranger station said Monday
various lookout stations on
the Detroit District were
manned by the fairer sex up
to about 1954.
Green Veneer, Inc., Idanha
now has two ladies in their
employ on the green chain.
They are Charlotte Yale of
Blue River, who rides a mo
torcycle to and from work,
and Ada Tompkins, whose
application was just recently
accepted.
Miss Yale has had seven
years of experience as a mill
wright, and has been employ
ed at the plant here for
about two weeks.
For those of you who do
not know what a green chain
is: it is removing lumber off
the chain after being cut by
a saw, and sorting veneer
after it leaves the lathe.
Several other applications
by the fair sex have been re
ceived at the plant and are
being taken under consider
ation.
A rumor circulating in the
area that women can be
hired for less than men is
not so, said the plant office.

Sustained periods of high
