  • THE weight on this point till a longer period of time has elapsed. Although this control is not automatic, nevertheless it eliminates pure guesswork and insures the proper humidity at all times. Loading on Wet Days The men who attended a recent Blackey key- men's meeting were cautioned to be very careful when loading kiln dried lumber and flooring on wet and rainy days, and whenever possible, to take the necessary steps to load in the dry. All inspectors were asked in shipping flooring to see that everything is right in every respect, as there is possibly a little stock not up to par in every shed. BARK Thinking Through Making his first radio appearance since the days seven years ago when he and his brother first "fooled" with radio broadcasting, Lewis M. Crosley, vice president and general manager of the Crosley Radio corporation, took the place of his brother Powel, who is president and lauded him as having been in large measure responsible for their business success. "There is a quality in my brother Powel's character that people generally don't know about, because they haven't grown up with him as I have," he said. "From the time he was a boy, he always thought just a little longer on a problem than the other fellow. I noticed this, because I wTas so often the other fellow." Didn't Need a Boss A famous English engineer tells a little story with a big moral to it. He says: "On a certain job which I engineered, I was making a tour of inspection to determine the progress of construction. I noticed one worker driving rivets with amazing speed but none the less with care. "As I watched him I realized that he was doing as much work as any two other riveters within my vision. I approached him and in a casual manner asked: "Who's the boss around here who makes you work so fast?" and the reply he gave me is one that I am never going to forget. 'There's the boss over there, but he ain't my boss," was the reply. 'He bosses the men who do their work carelessly. Any fellow who needs a boss around here don't get far in this concern.' " Can You Answer These? In what way are saw logs like men? (P. 4). What is the meaning of Red Jacket 4 Cs? (P. 18). What difference in strength is there between sapwood and heartwood? (P- 8). Give the history in connection with the old causeway timbers recently unearthed in Boston. (P. 5). In what field meet did Red Jacket men recently compete and what did they win? (P. 19). Why has an axe a wooden handle? (P. 6). What is humanity's highest ideal? (P. 3). Nine Years Ago Piney: Mr. Robert Lee (Bob) Dillon has had some business cards printed. In case you haven't received yours, the following is the form: Mr. Robert Lee Dillon, Bean Boss, Raleigh Lumber Co." Paw Paw: We are glad to have our Hawkeye friend, T. R. Crowe, back with us again. Mr. Crowe was formerly supply man at this operation. Hurley: Captain Thornsberry has been ill for a few days, but is now back again. Mr. Price, of Devon, took his place as conductor of the B. S. 8 C. during the time he was sick. . . Harold Roberts Stevenson, baby son of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Stevenson, has cut his first tooth. . . Galla Clevenger, tallyman at Blackey, worked a few days here while C. M. Hipps was sick. Some of girls here say they do not see why all the single men go to Blackey. Another Angle A note of appreciation has been received from Carl A. Rishell, general kiln superintendent, pertaining to the article by Maxwell MacMaster, Jr., Beaver kiln operator, on waste reduction, which appeared in our June issue. He concludes: "If our operators only knew how much good they can get out of writing articles for your magazine, or any other, there would be a lot more of it done. Speaking from experience, I believe one can get more new ideas and be drawn deeper into a subject than in any other way that I know of. Why don't you write an article about that?" The best article that we can write is to reproduce what Mr. Rishell says. Ten Guards at Nantahala Mill There's plenty of lattice work and chicken coop effect around the Nantahala sawmill and especially under the mill. Much of it was placed there within the last ninety days. This crating forms the guards for machinery, belts, housing and gears (both bevel and cog) and was constructed in compliance with a new North Carolina law effective July first. The gratifying point is that almost all this work was done long before it was compulsory under the law that it be done. Moreover, it was all done very effectively, the management at Nantahala seemingly leaving nothing unguarded which might cause an accident and which could be guarded.
