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.

Bill:No thanks, If you haven't n dime your advice couldn't be worth much. stables,and sometihes there are other buildings. 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

Ethel Richardson,7A. sw+wmeses++++feeeesee+++maHwem4 ARITHMETIC Arithmetic is m very best subject. I cannot always get the problems but someone will always come to my recuse with help if it is necessary. There is only one thing that I don't like about arithmetic and that is when I get started and get interest- ed in the problems a nd we have to quit and go to something else. When I graduate I want to take mathematics in m first year high school. If it is as much fu as now it will be my very best subject.

Each of the following years there was a little done as boys camefalong who wished to work on it. Now it ishabout ready to be finished up. The real thing about this desk is that it was all put together by hand. As needed the power saw and jig saw were used. The legs were turned on the lathe. The real beauty of the desk is in the hand shaped inlay which goes to make the top design. It was all done by hand except Where the little only thing to do is try again. Of course it is more fun pulling it out so it doesn not matter how many mistakes I make. But I em sure that I will learn someday.
