This ing movement causes a set of hard rings to rat- tle per noisily and woe betide the animal or son that disregards the sound. The rattle snake h s deadly fangs,whose attack is fatal if the venom is not removed from the wound quickly. Whisky is the worst possible medi- cine to give a person suffering from snake bite because it stimulates the heart and causes the heart to force the blood more rapidly through he body. Originally rattlesnnkes were found gen- erally over North America,especially in stony and barren places. There are two spoci es in South America.They are thick heavy reptiles. They usually are not more than five feet long. The rings at he end of the tail are formed by the slipping off of the snake's skin. As the snake gets older the skin rolls.

So far we have stud- ied about Seeds,and trees,weeds,graSses,flowerS, leaves. The family of plants known as grasses may be divided into two groups:Useful and harmful. There are about 4700 different kinds of grasses. About lOOO are found in the United States. Sommonly known ones are whent,rye,bnrley,corn,millet,rice,sorghu,, and kefir. The staff of life-bread-comes from the grass family. Sometimes it is mnde from wheat,millet,rice,or rye. Corn is an American Crop Richard Filloff.7A. NATURE STUDY I think' the boys in Mr. Sellers room have a very interesting nature stud clasi Every Tuesday morning we have a meeting. We have talked about trees,plants,seeds, and other things that have to do with na- ture. We have books made to keep our draw ings and writing in. We made them ourself ves. Right now we have a large flower pot with three different kinds of beans grow- ing. We also have some corn growing and some orange seeds planted. The corn and b beans are growing fast. The bean Plants have beans on and the orange seeds have not come up yet. It is all very interesti T James M rsha1l,7A.

Early man used hard bits of flint to fashion his stone clubs and arrow heads v Later men made their houses and furn- iture of wood. They developed the sIw,chisel, h2m er,file,nnd plane to shape wood. when man began to work with metal these tools were not hard enough nor powerful enough. Machines of hardened steel or alloys, driven by power,were needed to cut and shape the metal. Such machines were called machine tools.

This is done by men whose duty it is to survey the for- est from the standpoint of economy in sawing and delivery of logs to the mar- ket. One site is chosen for the camp. A force of men is hired to build roads from the railroad or highway to the camp site. There must be trucks,power-hoists, tractors,teams,wagons,saws,blacksmith and garage equipment,tools,stoves,and cooking utensils and food supplies for the men and operations. All these are needed at the camp which must be built as soon as equipment can be hauled in. There is built an office,bunk-houses, our elctric refrigerators,radios,vncuum cleanraneSS h8l1S,b1aCkSmith Sh0P5, garageS,and ers,telephones,sutomobiles,airplanes,and tractors. There are two main types of machine toolsgthose used for general work and those for one particular job. Richard Filloff,7A. fasaxf' ' Assisi QQ3 SHOP CLASS. Every dey from lo:5O to 11:50 the boys of the seventh and eighth grades have shop. we make many projects such as end tables. cut outs,book shelves,chinese checker boards filing cabinetS,tops,wooden bal1s,wooden bowls,and many other things. We have some bqys who made model airplanes and racers. We get e lot of pleasure running the power tools and learn to do n good job of work if we are willing to be careful and mnke use of our instructions. I believe that we are making a great advance in our shop class. Our shop teacher is Mr.S ellers.

The road into camp is built for hauling large heavy loads, Smaller roads are built from the main road into the cutting areas.On these roads the logg are pulled to the main roads. At certain locations along the main road there are cleared ares called skidwnys. Logs are he here piled up to await the trucks and sleds to take them to the mills. All logs on the skidways are scaled or measured for the number of feet that can be cut from each. The men who do this are called scalers. From this point the logs are sent to the mills. The oldest method of transporting logs is by float- ing them. This is done in the spring when the ice thaws and the freshets fill the rivers. This phase of lumbering has provided experiences that have made backgrounds for interesting stories,of lumbermen of the by-gone days. The lumberjacks wear spiked shoes and carry a peavey which is n long pole with a straight and cur- ved hook,one at each end. When logs jam in the river they are dynamited to break the jam. This movement is called the spring dnmve.When logs get to the mill fcOntinued next pngel
