Plywood Fish [qdder

The world's first artificial spawning grourrd for silver salmon has also proved to be an unofficial testing ground for fir plywood. That is the evidence from the University of \\rashington, where a unique study of fish habits is being conducted. The experiment began in 1950 when salmon hatched at the school's fisheries department were released in artificial ponds there. These fish returned to spawn in 1951, the first time in history that such salmon had returned to man-made pools. scientists report.

The ponds at the University of Washington are linked to outside waters by a 42-foot fish ladder made of exterior type fir'plywood. A1though this plywood "river" has been subjected to constant immersion, the individual panels show no signs of deterioration, another dramatic demonstration of the permanence of the glue-line in exterior fir plywood.

SaddleItch...

Through two summers I was paid real money for riding the prettiest little single-footing mule on the Mt. Shasta trails, with two or three pack animals stringing along. Her name was Maud, like that of a funny-paper mule in the years before World War I. Once I'd learned how to load up meat and groceries for a crew of engineers that was surveying in the high country, and secure them with squaw and diamond hitches, the job was pure pleasure.

The thin! that has given me the saddle itch again, with memories of Maud and pack mules revived, is a map of the Cascade Crest Trail from Canadl.,to,the Columbia.

South of the big river the Oregon Skylirie Trail winds along the tall ridges and around the peaks of the California division of the Pacific Crest Trail System. High ridin' country, the world's best, wilderness wonderland, haven of peace.

And for two summers-l9lo and 1911-I got paid for it ! Knew my luck, too.
