For this meeting, however, the important guests werc 52 children from the San Francisco Boys Club, ages 2l to 10. The youngsters thoroughly enjoyed their outing with apparent enthusiasm. They were served a fine man-sized luncheon, applauded the rope and whip tricks of Buck and Chickee, cowboy stars, and really went all out for "Rusty," the trick dog, and "Peanuts," a 38-inch-high palamino pony. The main event was, of course, the arrival

Bob Bonner, president of the San Francisco Club, and ,Hac Collins, praised the work of Club members in staging the event and would like to especially thank all of the committeemen for their hard work, and the firms whose liberal donations made this worthy cause possible.

Arizono Clossifies Logging As Seqsonol Occupotion

Phoenix, Arizona, Dec. 30, 1953-Northern Arizona logging operations were,classified as a seasonal industry today by the state IJnemployment Security Commission. Commissioners J. A. Beaman and John M. Sakrison, of Tucson, made the decision, with the third commissioner, John H. Curnutte, absent.

The decision was made in the face of strong protest from AFL officials, who say the matter may be taken to the courts. Classification of the logging operations as seasonal means that between 300 and 400 employes will not be able to draw unemployment compensation during the off-season.

Commissioner Beaman said the action was taken because unemployment compensation claims are already being made since the off-season has already begun. It is from December 28 to March 20.

Sawmill operations are not included in the reclassification, remaining seasonal.
