Once in Michigan, on a shanty camp site so old that I had to shovel among grass, bush and popple to find even charred remnants of log walls and pole roofs, I uncovered a well top—~a platform of hewn planks, caved in and buried at the center. The rough surface was crisscrossed with ax marks. They told the story of a “choreboy” of fifty years or more ago, coming out each morning long before “daylight in the swamp," to chop‘away the ice from around the pump, and to thaw and prime it for the day’s needs of the camp. A lad with a lantern and an ax, long, long ago. Imagining him brought the whole scene back from its old life in the great pineries. It was all pretty mournful. The pines were gone, with choreboy, the lum- berjacks, and the work of all. Fire had been their ruin, fire alone. Dur- ing fifty years the land there had been burned twenty-two times. Not until 1920 had the Federal Govern- ment or the State of Michigan really done anything of account to stop the fires. But what I started out to tell was that “choreboy” was the Michigan term for “bullcook.” The Original Bullcook . . . That noted graybeard among tim- ber historians, Stewart Holbrook, tells us that in the old days in Maine “the bullcook" was the man who forked hay and scooped bran and corn meal into the mangers of the logging oxen—“bulls” to the lumber— jacks—and who mixed their bran and corn meal. The term survived on the West Coast, and “choreboy” be- came an all but forgotten name in the woods. The trade of the bullcook rose in importance in the Douglas fir when s p r i n g beds, mattresses, pillows, sheets and showers .became standard logging camp equipment. Long be- fore that time he had escaped the o t' 0" o SOCIAL to Navy Mothers Request Names of Sailors, etc. All members of the Navy Mo- thers Club are requested to leave or send the name and addresses of their sons to the Journal of— fice.

But there were more fires to light in the morning, what with the one big bunkhouse having given away to smaller ones set on drag-sleds, or to the bunk cars of railroad camps. The good bullcook took pride in his fire-lighting. Prone to use coal oil, despite fire rules, he would move fast from shack to shack, and at the end view with pride identical curls of smoke rising from the rows of stovepipes. Then came his great mo- ment. With a monster silver-plated watch in his left hand and an iron baton in his right, the bullcook would square off at the triangle of drill-steel hanging in front of the cookhouse, and on the dot of ap- pointed time, he would smite the gong a first resounding blow. Then music—to the bullcook, at least. And pride indeed, for, high and low. all in camp had to roll out or roll up at the ringing thunder from his hand. The rest of the day-— sweeping, chopping, and pig-feeding, made up his work. The Specialist . . . Today in the big camps bullcook- ing has become so scientific that the National Youth Administration, I‘ve heard, was preparing to give courses in it when the war intervened. With the modern camp‘s electrical and plumbing systems, oil-burners, laun- dry, sanitary regulations, systems of bedding supply, and the like, bull- cooking is truly a powerful profes- sion. The something of a landscape gardener. And in family camps he must be a child psychologist. good bullcook is even Let Hollywood movie directors and Eastern magazine editors take due note. the bullcook never is, and never has been, a cook. More often than not they apply the term to the king of the cookhouse. Phooey on such ignorance. Bordeaux P.-T.A.

There l , , . i SIMPSON have been many public-prejudices concerning ferest opera- tions. Few citizens are familiar with the fact that many forest industries have entered an era of planned manage- ment—few think of forest operations as continuing enter- prises—few view timber as a crop and few understand that a forest harvest may be taken without destruction of the woods. BUT—it is true that many forest industries have entered on an era of planned management. Right here in Mason and Grays Harbor counties the Simpson Logging Company has operated continuously for 47 years, always with the future of this area in mind. To us TIMBER IS A CROP. ‘Through scientific cutting, maintenance of seed sources and planting of nursery-grown stock, young and vigorous forest growth replaces mature, slow-growing trees which need to be harvested. The Simpson Logging Company and the forest indus- tries generally have entered a period of planned operation of the woods, our only renewable natural resource. EVA. v . 1KM_ ~5- ._._ ___.
