  • «»- THE Ritter Picnic All operations within reasonable distance were represented at the Ritter picnic September 23 at the Pisgah Church near Tazewell, Va. Seventy- five alone attended from McClure. The event was saddened by the death of Mr. W. J. Osborne's mother. At least one hundred were detained from coming and attended the funeral services. Mr. Osborne is reported to have advised that the picnic plans be carried out rather than that the event be canceled on so short a notice. Koofs for Dimension Neat little portable roofs now cover our dimension at Nantahala. The chief advantage over the old method is in the protection afforded the lumber while it is being formed into a pile large enough to' roof. Two by fours are used as uprights to hold a gabled roof and the whole looks somewhat like an open shed. In it piles of dimension can be started and the stacker can add to it from time to time. From start to' finish the pile is protected with a roof which need not be removed every time more dimension is added and besides, the stacker has plenty of room in which to work in all kinds of weather. Shim boards which formerly were waste material are used for the roofs, and present a much neater appearance than the old type flat roof. Water runs off this gabled cover more easily. Additional dimension roofs have been constructed at Nantahala within the past month and keymen there are quite pleased with them. BARK Care Needled to Prevent Fires Two letters calling attention to the dangers of forest fires at this time of the year have been received in the Columbus office. One is from H. W. Shawhan, our forestry engineer with headquarters at Beckley, W. Va., the other from J. W. K. Holliday, district ranger in charge of the West Virginia state forces for forest fire protection in that section lying south of the Kanawha River. "Fewer and Smaller Fires" is the slogan of this district, says Mr. Holliday, and it might well apply to all sections in which fires are likely to break out. Mr. Holliday asks that the superintendent be asked to caution their men against any carelessness which may destroy property. Special care is needed in forests now that they are mantled with dry leaves. Mr. Shawhan calls attention to' the letter by Mr. Holliday and asks the cooperation of the Hardwood Bark in this worth-while work. The Hardwood Bark in turn sends a plea to every member of the Ritter family to use care. Front Cover Illustration The mill and part of the yard at our new operation, New River, Tenn., are shown in the front cover illustration this month. This picture was taken from the Southern Railway bridge, which is 160 feet high. Only a small part of the yard is shown. The road in the rear of the sawmill is the Cincinnati-Chattanooga airline highway. It will be noted that the sorting at the mill is done from both sides of the chains. These pictures show the new type roofs with two by four supports for dimension in use at Nantahala. The old type roof is shown in the picture on the right (at the left) and beside it is a new roof.
