Hoo Hoo in Arizona

By N. FI. Huey, Phoenix, State Counselor

The work-together spirit that exists among the Lumbermen of Arizona todav better reflects the constructive work of Hoo-Hoo during the last year than would any rec. ord of membership growth, even though this record is not unrmpfessrve.

Even with the handicap of having few populous centers, and long distances to travel, we have found it sufficiently worth while to get together under the auspices of Hoo-Hoo to become better acquainted, to exchange ideas and to work shoulder-to-shoulder in the common cause of our industry.

We do not presume to compare our membership in point of numbers with that of more populous siates, yet we 'concede nothing to any other state in point of enthusiasm and constructiveness of effort.

We have five live Vicegerent Snarks-one moie than we had a year ago. And no state may boast five officers more keenly interested in the progress of the Order and the Lumber Industry than Albert Stacy, Bassett Lumber Co., Douglas; Francis Pool, Phoenix; W. A.. Lamprey, Tucson; W. Perry Underdown, Prescott Lumber Co., Prescott, and L. H. DeMund, DeMund Lumber Co., Yuma.

While many other states outnumber us in Hoo-Hoo clubs, we maintain that our one club-the Gold Spot HooHoo Club, with headquarters at Phoenix-is not inferior to any other chapter in the Order in point of constructive thought and intensive effort.

The officers and directors of the Gold Spot Club are inspired by an.intense, eager desire to serve their Indtrstry. And when men of the caliber of President Joe Tardy, Vice-

B. SCOTT RETURNS FROM FIbLD TRIP

Bernard Scott, acting.secretary-manager of the California \thr_te & Sugar Pine Association, rettirned June 17 from the first part of the annual field trip in the course of which he visited member mills in the Feather. Susanville and Westwood districts.

Mr. Scott expects to start out July 1 to cover the balance of the territory in Northern California, and ,ivill also visit member mills in the Klamath Falls and Medford districts.

President Gus Engstrom, and Secretary R. V. Baker put their loyal interest into anything, results are bound to follorv.

An evidence of how importantly Hoo-Hoo fits into the organized Lumber Industry in Arizona is given in the fact thit the live-wire secretary of the Hoo-Hoo Club, R. V, Baker, also is secretary of the Lumbermen's Club of Arizona. He has found, as have all of us actively engaged in this work, that the association and Hoo-Hoo are both benefited when they work in the same harness.

We have initiated 19 new kittens and reinstated one lapsed member since September, the beginning of the HooHoo year. Before the end of the year we expect to add a number of others. And every one of them will be a loyal Hoo-Hoo-thoroughly "sold" on the merits of the Orderbefore he leaves the Concatenation.

Hoo-Hoo is a serious business with us-not just a means of recreation. We regard the Order as the logical means of bringing out the best thought and consolidating the best effort of the Lumber Industry.

Our conception of IIoo.IIoo, or perhaps I should s.ay my conception of Hoo-Hoo, is that it offers the one logical basis bn which Lumbermen can get together to solve the problems of the Industry. Getting together . ' learning to' know one another better . putting Friendship and Confidence where lack of contact ind skepticism existed before . . . providing the opportunity for lumber men to talk among themielves-ttrese are the things that Hoo-Hoo makeJ possible and from which splendid benefits can be developed for the whole Industry.
