THE XAVIERYou don't need a bulging pocket-
book to build the Xavier, It Ires been planned
especially for those whose budgets are limited
but whose good taste is not, The small cottage
tlmt packs a heap of livability into four rooms
is contrary to popular opinion, just about the
toughest architectural assignment. There must
not be a foot of waste space. Any professional
b{fllder can slap up a bngalow of four rooms.
Bht will his arrangement of those four rooms
conform to FHAS requirements? Will ttey be
large enough? Will they have the required ,closet
space and,window area? The design of the
Xavier meets all these standards of FHA--
and also those of the National Adequate Wiring
Bureau. It came from the drawing board Of
Randolph Evans, A.'I.A., an outstanding dellger
of small houses, He has the knack of making
small houses look different. He gives them an
individuality and distinction usually found oly
in larger houses.
The attraCtiVe exterior of the Xavier is achiev-
ed by simple, straight-forward lines, by a single
roof break and by the use of vertical sidin on
the front combined with singles Or horizontal
siding con the other three wails.
For the sake of economy, the house is almost
th perfect square. For the same reason the
cellar is eliminated in favor of a ground level
utility room. With a floor area of only 640 square
feet and a cubage' of about 83000 cu. ft. the

Twenty-five million acres of
timber were harvested in Michigan
over a period approximating a cen-
tury. The state's first sawmill
was built at Flint in 1830, Hun-
dreds of small mills rose in the
tmrdwoods of Southern Michigan
in the following decade.
The white pine harvest tid not
.tart in force until lfi50, By theft
time many settlers were staking
out homes on the treeless prai-
ries--and making fences of thorn
edges for lack of posts and rais.
Old Fort Dearborn: by 1850, lind
become Chicago the City. T, he
riches of the black soil of Iowa,
less sensational but more endur-
ing than the gold of the Sierras,
were well known in tle days of
'49.
The prairies wanted towns and
homes, fences and barns. The
pines of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota were the main source
of material.
BEFORE THE Civil ,War the
Saginaw valley was flourishing as
the ll,mber capitol of the Mid-
West.- By i880 the region was
the world's greatest lumber cen-
ter, with red or Norway pine be-
ing sawed wiYh the "cork pine "L-
the white.

The Shelton Air Service, Inc., is approved
by the State Board of Education and the
Veterans Administrate]on for flight train-
ing under the G. I. Bill.
In 1888 the rich pine valley of
the Saginaw produced more than
a billion feet of sawed lumber.
That decade saw the entire state
produce an average of three and
ne-hglf billion feet of pine lum-
ber per year. At Cheboygan a
sawdust mountain, sixty feet
high and covering ten acres, still
survived in the early 1930's when
I lived in Michigan.
By 1890 the .pioneer image of
"the inexhaustible forest" ws
fading before the inexorable fact
of millions of acres of fire-black-
ened stump lands. The end was in
sight. There was ..still, however
700 logging camps, employing
25,000 men. In 1910 there were
ten camps, with crews totaling
500 men. A great epic of Ameri-
can pioneer industry Was done.
IT HAS BECOME the fashion to
portray the lumberman of that
era as a plunderer and destroyer
of the forests. I violently dis-
tgree. I lived in Michigan for two
years, digging at old timber his-
tory, mid what I dug up showed
the .lumberman of the bonanza
days in the Lake Stats simply as
a man of his time, no better and
no worse, on the average than
other men.
There was no public policy of
conservation. The taX laws forced
the lumberman to abaldon his
logged lands, just as stupid laws
in oregon and Washington re-
tarded industrial forestry until
ao30.
New timbe crops grew every-
whLre after logginlg. They were
burned, mostly by settlers in land
clearing. Popular prejudice and
ignorance were far more to blame
for the ruin of the pine lands bY
fire than the 's0-called ruthlessness
of the s0-called timber baron.
Erasmus Hanson actually had to
wage a fight ip,the Michigan leg-
islature to GIVE :16,000 acres of
forest land on a lake shore to the
state f0r a ml,l.itary reserve.

The flavor of the butt ends of
the asparagus stalks iS not sufficient°
IY good to warrant canning them.
The more tender portions, however,
when eboked in the boiling Waer
left over hm th canning process
are satisfactoYy for immediate
serving or for soup. O;ermature
stalks are also good for soup.

Scout emblem appears in Shelton.

The enthnsiasm with whieh the

cil budget, but will also provide

dividual troops.
THIS YEAR these programs are [
being worked out on a new bndget
system, whereby a certain per-.
centage of all the profits will be
given to each troop according to
size and needs.

Cotmcil treasury is set aside for
the maintenance of scouti]g in
Shelton. It is used in the upkeep
of the Little House in Knceinnd
Park; helps in the maintennnee of
the summer day ramp; and is
used in part for the training of our
volunteer leaders.
