Will Go To Rainier I Northwest_,. Fir
For Winter Caml)ing Area Production
The Tumwater Area Council of I'll1
the Boy Scouts Amorica 00iil ver 1946
have a winter camp and sci party Lumber production in the Dons-
for Senior Scouts this week-end. Here's a little more about agination. It was evoked by the las fir region of Western' Oregon
The group of boys from this George Grabby, also called the hero, the boss of it all. and Washington is estimated at
area, who must be 15 and hold
a Senior Scout certificate, will be
led by Melvin Lightele, ski expert
and winter camp leader from the
council.
The group will leave December
27 for Mount Rainier and will stay
there until December 30, accord-
ing to Max Jensen, assistant Scout
executive in the area.
lIE SAID that the cost of the
trip will be $2 for transportation
and the Senior Scouts will be re-
quired to bring their own food.
He suggested that units from each
troup combine to buy enough food
for their unit and be prepared to
take care of their own cooking.
Since the group will be limited,
Jensen uggested that eligible
boys interested write to the Area
Council headquarters for registra¢
tion at once. He referred them to
a bulletin which has been sent
out.
Our fondest wish is
that the laurels of hap-
piness and peace . , ,
wreath your home this
Christmas!

High Red, a famous walking boss
of the Wdstern construction camps
of 40 years ago.
In the last column I noted that
a large crew of able specialists
followed him around the country,
always "workin' for the High Red"
and only incidentally for the out-
fits that provided the payrolls.
My first night in the High Rod's
camp is never to be. forgotten.
The talk I heard carried back as
far as the building of the Union
Pacific, even to the days of the
Waddell overland freight, with its
outfit of sixty thousand mules 4nd
oven, an army of bullwhackers and
jerkline skinners, and the wagon
master as king of the trail
I LOOKED on Paddy the Devil,
Grabby's machine skinner, a
fighter who .had been locked in
the back room of a Shoshone, Ida-
ho, saloon with seven men the pre-
vmus summer, for a finish fight.
He had come out the victor in an
hour and fifteen minutes.
I heard the voice of Wingy
Magavern, Grabby's hard- rock
boss, who had blasted tunnels and
cuts on every big railroad job
from the Northern Pacific on.
A little old man whose left arm
had been blown off, hb was yet
respected and feared for her repu-
tation of packing primed dynamite
sticks in a coat pocket when on
the road or in town. A mean man
to monkey with.
TIIERE WERE manys other
with storied names. All were
proud men of work, a picked tribe
of labor.
A knoll rose in the trampled
camp yard. There the High Red
always squared away when he
sounded the call to work. In a
clear, cold autumn dawn I stood
back and watched him. Around
the camp the sagebrush desert
was an unbroken gray sweep to all
horizons. The. camp was a speck
of human life in that Vastness, yet
it was somehow grand to me in
the solitude.
The High Red shouted, "All out,
you savages!" in a voice with the
ring of a hammered anvil.
tIIS RUGGED men marched to
the call. The hard-rock dynos
headed out for the powder cache
and ta the blacksmith shop for
hammers and steel. From'the cor-
rals trace, chains jingled and
chesty oaths roared amid the
clamping beat of shod hoofs on
the hard earth.
It was the color and music of
a mighty life. I had experienced
the like in other camps, but never
with such magic of awakenedim,
[ERRLY CHRISTMAS!
To All Our Friends
It's our pleasure to wish yot
one and all much happiness,
May all your fondest hopes and
dreams come true in the year
to come , . . ma, your Christ-
mas be the best ever. Our very
best wishes--our most sincere
thanks to you for yotr appre-
ciated patronage,

Govey Building
He gave me a job. It was the
same old job that had so sickened
me with work for the past year
in other camps--a boy's job of
greasing dump wagons and pack-
ing drinking water.
IN GRABBY'S camp it was a
particularly hard job, for the
crew was unusually large, and
wagon-greasing was work that
water boys were seldom ordered
to do. In most other outfits the
skinners greased their wagons on
their own time.
But that was not for the High
Rod's men. I packed water, and
jacked up wheels between trips,
without a slack minute from
morning till night. I kept hard at
it, the more so when I learned
that the job had killed off, as the
saying goes, a dozen of more kids
in the past few months.
I worked for the favor of the
High Red. And I" got it. When
winter came and some of the
stakey skinners quit the camp,
Grabby tried me on a three-up
wagon team. I satisfied him. And
I followed him for the next three
years, on jobs that ranged from
Montana to California.
Much of the heroic glamor of
the High Red vanished for me in
that time, but he remained hi
my eyes a great man of his kind,
a boss with the bark on. My debt
to him was great. Under his hard
hand I grew into a man.

Sanderson in a Christmas greeting
to The Journal asked that his
greetings for the season be ex-
tended to all of his old friends of
this area.
The former Shelton boy, whose
mother and other relatives still
live here, gained fame as a marine
corps aviator in the fighting
around Guadalcanal dUring the
critical days of the Pacific war.
He was a Shelton visitor a few
months ago and reports that he is
now Deputy Commander to Ma-
jor General Woods of the First

JOHNNY'S PLACJ t)LD
TO ItOODSPORT COUPLE
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Wolcott pur-
chased Johnny Boyce's eating es-
tablishment at Hoodsport this past
week. They plan to do some re-
modeling and will open for busi-
ness soon. The Wolcotts are ex-
perienced in the restaurant busi-
ness and at one time worked at
the Olympic Inn on Hood Canal.
Johnny's place is comparatively
new, built by h|mself during the
early part of 1946 and opened dur-
ing the spring. He plans to leave
soon for Three I-Iills, near Calgary,
Canada, to attend the Prairie Bible
In'stitute.
q
about 7,500,000,000 board feet, an
increase of about 200,000,000 over
that for 1946.
This is the ghest production of
any peace-time year since .1930.
A rough cestmate places about
62 per cent of the production in
Oregon, about 38 per cent in
Washington.
These figures do not include
fir production in Josephine and
Jackson counties of Southern
Oregon, an area which produced
about 500,000,000 board feet of
fir each year.
NUMBER of sawmills in the re-
gion has increased from 383 in
1932 to 616 in 1939 to 1445 in
1946. Although figures are not
available for 1947, it is probable
that the total exceeds that for
1946 by more than 100.
Of interest is the increase in
dollar value of Oregon and Wash-
ington's Douglas fir lumber pro-
• dtmtion. This amounted in 1926
to $215,300,000; in 1933 to $61,-
1900,000; in 1943 to $310,600,000;
[in 1947 to an estimated $500,000,-
t 000.
The industry is prepared to cope
with a substantially expanded
building program in 1948. Barring
unforseen circumstances, 1948
production will top that of 1947.
• THERE WILL be sufficient
lumber for the housing needs of
the country as well as for its in-
dustrial requirements. Effective
distribution hinges directly upon
the cooperation of the railroads.
An adequate supply of freight
cars must be made available in
the Douglas fir area during per-
iods of peak production, or lum-
ber users will suffer as the result
of competitive bidding.
A point as important as the
supply is the fact that the Paci-
fic Northwest is not being strip-
ped of timber to meet the hous-
ing emergency. Lumbermen of
the region are planning" ahead for
a full 100-year cycle of production.
In the Douglas fir region there
are now more than 2,500,000 acres
of tree farms--a guarantee of
lumber for the future--and this
acreage is constantly being in-
creased.

International Flavor
Apparent in Recipes
At Christmas Dinners
Recipes with an international
, flavor arc featured by many
American cooks this Christmas.
Here are, a few suggestions from
the County Extension office.
One such recipe coming from
north European countries makes
"Holiday Stollen' It is a rich
sweet bread, fruity with raisins,
citron, cherries and nuts, shaped
like an oversize Parkerh0use roll.
Some'Vienese cook from long
ago must ha''e thought up this
one "Santa Tempters" or Vienesc
Taints. ' The pzstry that makes
these little jam-filled tarts is nib, de,
with cottage cheese.
From Norway comes "Christias
Carolers" or Norwegian cookies.
A rich cookie dough' decorated
with bits of chocolate, chopped
nuts, cinnamon sugar or colored
candies.
America's eontributiqn to these
international holiday treats, is
Mistletoe :Magic or Cranberry-
Orange pudding. This up-side-
down pudding with its tangy
sauce of cranberries, diced or-
anges and orange rind has a bit of
mistletoe magic baked right into
it. The pudding is.an-easy-to-mix
sweet "drop biscuit batter, espec-
ially good served warm with hot
Cranbez'z'y-Orange sauce.

The Christmas party held at the
Grange hall was well attended by
young and younger. The Cook or-
chestra played for those w.ho
wanted to dance. A1 Butlez" called
the square dances. Santa did not
appear in person so candy had to
be given out by helpers. Potluck
lunch was served by the ladies.
There will be no meeting of
Shelton Grange 403 the first
Thursday of the year 1948, as it
falls on New Year's. The 6th of
January the drill team will come
from Little Rock, Wash., weather
permitting, to initiate those from
all Granges in Mason county tak-
ing the first and second degrees.

Cheesey Bugs
Make it Tough on
Cheesemakers
A study of tiny organisms,
known as bacteriophages, that
eat or destroy the bacteria needed
for eheesemaking, is being con-
ducted by the dairy department at
Washington State College.
These organisms, which are
commonly known as "bacteria
eaters", are costing the cheese-
making industry considerable
money every year, says Dr. tLA.
Bendixen, the acting head of the
state college dairy department.
They attack the useful bacteria
that are the "cheesemakers' best
little friends and helpers," said
Bendixen. The flavor 'and digest-
ibility of cheese depends largely
on the bacteria put into it by the
cheesemaker.
By the use of special filtering
devices, research workers have
learned to separate the bacteria
eaters from the bacteria. The bac-
teria are large enough to be re-
tained on these filters while the
h wqtria eateT ,re e,o .srJl., that
tley/will pass through. Thus the
btb.l:rta" eaters ay be studied
• hi'art from the bacteria.
During the past several months
at the State College of Washing-
ton, several strains of bacterio-
phage for starter bacteria have
been studied by investigators in
the department of dairy husband-
ry. One of these strains was ob-
tained from New Zealand where
the activities of bacteriophages
has been found bothersome in
many cheese factories.
From studies of these bacterio-
phage strains and from observa-
tions of starter trouble in cheese
factories of the Pacific North-
west, Dr. endixcn and other
State College scientists are con-
vinced that this is a problem
which merits considerable atten-
tion, care, and study in this state
and wherever cheese is made.
It is hoped that the develop-
ment of the electron microscope
wiich is much more powerful
than the ordinary microscope--
may be helpful in studying these
enemies of our useful bacteria.

Painting Basement
In painting basement or cellar
walls, dark colors should be avoid-
ed. Light reflecting paints, such as
white, cream or buff are particular-
ly desirable, and make cellar rooms
lighter, more cheerful and livable.
Win, H. Albaeh if:
Once we have our stamps all
cleaned up we are ready for the
next big step in organizing, our
collection. This step consists of
sorting our stamps preparatory to
mounting them. Foi" this you will
need plen:ty of time, patience,
and space.
Don't do your sorting on the i
kitchen table unless you are cer-
tain that you can get out of the
cook's way without undoing all
,your labor!
Don't sort your stajnps where
the draft from an open or, clos-
ing door will raise a miniature
philatelic snow flqrry! Watch
that sneeze! And, of course, he
sure that the surface on which
you are doing your sorting is clean
and dry!
IN SORTING stamps we have
found that the most practical
method is to dump our stamps in
a pile on the sorting surface, thus
avoiding the awkward contortions
frequently involved in picking
them out of a box or envelope
singly.
Now sort your stamps into sep-
arate piles according to country.
The majority of stamps are eas-
ily identified, having the Eng-
lish name of the country in their
design. This is true of ahnost all
stamps of the western hemisphere,
Great Britain and possessions, and
of many countries of Europe and
Asia.
In many other instances the
name of the country on the stamp
is so similar to the English name
that the country is readily identi-
fied as, for example, Italia,
Espana, etc. Make a separate
pile of all stamps that you can-
not definitely identify.
WHEN YOU have completed
sorting your stamps into piles,
place the stamps of each country
into a separate containeran en-
velope, stock card, box, or what-
have-you--writing the name of
the country on any opaque con-
tainer used.
For this purpose glassine en-
velopes are unexcelled since the
stamps are always visible, mak-
ing written identification of the
envelope unnecessary. If you are
a systematic type of person you
will arrange your envelopes al-
phabetically, placing the envelope
of unidentified stamps last. And
so you are ready for mounting
your stamps.
Albums are not arranged in
perfect alphabetical order and
few of them have an index. Un-
less you are thoroughly familiar
with your album, it will be much
simpler to follow the order of your
album rather than your envelopes
in mounting your stamps. In all
probability rids means ttmt you
will begin by mounting your U.
S. stamps.
THIS CALLS for more sorting.
Dig out your envelope of U. S.
stamps hnd, if you have a great
number of these, sort them first
acording to typ.e: ordinary postage
issue, eommemoratives, airmails,
special delivery, postage dues, etc.
Put your different types in separ-
ate ervelopes until you are ready
for them.
Now take, for cxampl our
ordinary postage issheg affd%ort
these according to general design.
Next sort the pile of one general
design acording to denomination.
YOUR SORTING according to
denomination reveals that you
have a number of copies of the
,same stamp. Select the best one
of these, judging on the lightness
of cancellation, centering of the
design, condition of the perfora-
tions, etc.
Mount the best amp in the
proper place in the album and
put the duplicates in a box or en-
velope kept for that purpose.
Many collectors keep their dupli-
cates sorted according to country,
others prefer to mount them ac-
cording to country on blank pages.
Suit yourself.
Merry Christmas! Your con
umnist hopes Santa had better
luck getting new albums for you
than we did,
