May the ideals fostered around this campfire play a worthy part in the conservation of the beauty and usefulness of our forests.
Gift of the Union Lumber Company.
The logs were donated by the Union Lumber Company at Fort Bragg, California, and were hewed out, to form seats, by the club members. It is rather fitting that forestry students should be able to gather for their meetings ina forest atm,osphere, especially so since the redwood and eucalyptus are representatives of the world's largest trees' llonest, there isn't a finer, betier manufactured or more dependable Red Gedar Shingle made on earth than that of the Saginaw Timber Go., Aberdeen, Wash., whose product we sell in Galifornia. lf we knew a better shingle we would try and sell lT.
