> Never a Dull Moment y RONA MORRIS WORKMAN I have always known that if you want to be where things hap­ pen you should go to a logging camp. Always something new, and only a foolish man would gamble on what is going to hap­ pen next. It may be tragic, but more often is merely exciting or amusing, and each day carries its full quota of interest. The Big Boss, during his forty years of logging, has learned to cope with most of these daily incidents, but occasionally even runs into some­ thing a bit out of the ordinary pattern. Usually, he being the “strong, silent” type of man, I am the last one to hear of what has hap­ pened, but this time I got in on the first act in person, even if I didn’t realize it at the time. I was just setting the coffee pot on the table and the Big Boss was lacing his caulked boots when two men co-.ie to the door last Monday morning. The B.B. an­ swered the knock and as he open­ ed the door one of the two men standing there almost fell into the room. I thought nothing about it since on Monday morn­ ings most of the men, for some obscure reason, seem to be a bit unsteady on their feet, or with black eyes, groggy lookB and tempers like a sea-sick wild cat. After he had regained his balance he announced, “I’ve come to take that loading job.” The Boss looked at him rather sceptically. ’"Are you a loader?” he asked. “Sure I am. That’s what I came up here for.” The Boss grunted, and I know his grunts, and said, “All right. I’ll see you after breakfast.” As he sat down at the table he re­ marked, “If that man’s a loader, then I am a bloomin’ sailor,” and proceeded to attack his grape­ fruit. Two days later I got the rest of the story. The man was wait­ ing when the Boss went out. The Boss said, “I can’t use a loader right now, but you can go set chockers until there is an open­ ing.” The fellow spluttered a bit, but agreed and the Boss continued. “Go get your clothes changed and take that “crummy” there to the Mill Creek side.” At this the new chocker-setter fluffed up like a mad hen. “What’s the matter with my clothes ? I sup- posse you don’t like the way I part my hair either?” The Boss looked at him, I know that look, too, and, I also know that in the old days such an answer would have started a man right back down the way he came in, but times have changed.
