Still looking for their niche. The new Regular Army can help both.
Perhaps you want to go to college but can’t afford it. If you
enlist in the Army, you’ll get your chance. Honorably discharged
after a three-year enlistment, you are eligible for 48 months of edu
cation at any college, trade, or business school for which you can
qualify. The Government will pay your tuition, laboratory fees,
etc., up to $500 per ordinary school year, plus $65 a month living
allowance—$90 a month if you have dependents.
If you haven’t found your spot, an Army enlistment offers you
training in any of 200 trades and skills. You leave the service eligible
for further training at the best civilian schools.
You can assure yourself of the benefits of the G1 Bill of
Rights if you enter the Army on or before October 5, 1946.
See your nearest Army Recruiting Station for details.

RIVERVIEW — Mr. and Mrs.
Bert Bassett received word this
week that their trio of young
folks, Mr. and Mrs. Billie Bassett
and Beverly Turner had reached
the end of the trail at Fairbanks,
Alaska, where Billia and Beverly
will attend the University of Alas
ka.
The housing problem had
them doubting, but the president
of the college was able to secure
a neat cabin for them on the
campus. Much of their journey
was over unpaved roads, but com
pared with other travelers' diffi
culty the Bassett party felt them
selves fortunate with only minor
tire troubles and a broken spring.
Six hours were required to cover
one 35 mile detour. Mrs. Turner
attended the university last year
and wrote back, “I feel so good
to be here and it seems so right to
have come.”
Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Hillyer were
busy entertainers this week. The
first of the week they had Mr.
and Mrs. George Carstanoff of
San Diego; on Wednesday Mr.
Hillyer’s nephew, John Shull and
his friend, Bill Mast, both of

RIVERVIEW—A long vacation
trip was ended Sunday’at 6 a.m.
when Mr. and Mrs. Otto Carlson
arrived at their Riverview home.
They left Sweden September X on
the Drottningholm and enjoyed on
uneventful voyage until one day
out of New York when they ran
into the edge of a hurricane
which tossed them about for sev
eral hours although their ship was
off its course in an effort to avoid
it. A Norwegian tanker was tom
in two by the storm. The Drott-
ningham dropped anchor in New
York harbor Monday night, Sep
tember 16 but the Carlsons were
unable to get their car out of stor
age until Tuesday noon. The rest
of the week was spent driving
toward Oregon most of the way
on Highway 30 and Otto and
Lura can tell one how far it is
from coast to coast. They report
a very enjoyable time with rela
tives in Sweden.
Our neighbors come and go:
Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Biggs are now
nicely located in their new home
on Shady Lane in Vernonia and
their friends wish them much hap
piness there; and in exchange we
welcomed Murvel Frank and his
Oklahoma bride who are getting
domiciled in the home Mr. Frank
purchased a few months ago of
Mrs. Ida Condit on First street.

NEW, HIGHER PAY FOR ARMY MEN
Second growth Douglas fir, a
highly important item in the tim
ber crop of the Pacific North
west, is the subject of a study
just being started by the U.S.
forest service, according to Dr. J.
A. Hall, director of the Pacific
Northwest forest and range ex
periment station, Portland, Ore
gon. Arthur Koehler chief, divi
sion of silvicultural relations, and
Benson H. Paul, silviculturist,
from the Madison, Wisconsin, for
est products laboratory, arrived
in Portland last Friday to super
vise the selection of locations and
trees for the project.
“The plan contemplates a com
prehensive study of the proper
ties of second growth Douglas
fir,” said Dr. Hall. “The relation
of quality of wood to growth
conditions will be analyzed. Re
lations between quality of wood
and various growing conditions
together with means of improving
growing conditions, are to be con
sidered. The results of this study
undoubtedly will contribute great
ly to our knowledge of proper
management of these stands.”
Trees to be cut from typical
sites will be selected by Koehler
and Paul, in cooperation with
members of the local experiment
station staff. Logs from these
trees will be shipped to the Mad
ison laboratory for analysis and
testing.
The tests and studies
will be in the fields of silvicultural
relations, timber mechanics, wood
preservation, timber physics, in
dustrial investigations, materiel
containers, pathology, pulp and
paper, and derived products.
Machining characteristics, glu
ing properties, pulping tests, ve
neer cutting and preservative
treatment, are some of the studies
of most interest to the aP-
cific Northwest timber industry.
A number of other technical
studies will be made with a view
to getting better knowledge of
the growth, management, and
cropping of this important future
timber source, according to Dr.
Hall.
