Orville Arnold Collects Greeting Cards as Hobby

The Bakersfield Californian carried an interesting storr- in its issue of l{arch 28 about Orville Arnold and his hobbycollecting greeting cards. \Ir. Arnold has been u'ith the King\Iarshall Lumber Co., Inc., of Bakersfield, since 1945 rvhen he was released from active duty r.r'ith the Air Corps.

\Ir. Arnold began his hobby seriousl.v during the years he \\'as overseas in 192425. \Iany of his friends sent him cards u'hich he saved and he decided it would be a good \tr'a)' to remember places he had visited and seen.

He has a collection of over 10,000 cards. The.v include cards commemorating Fourth of July, United States presidents fronr George \\-ashington to }Iarry Truman, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, weddings, the years, days of the week, the Gibson girl, Nlemorial Day, flags of all the states in the Urrited States, r,r'artime cards, and many others.

His collection has cards shon'ing George V, and the late Queen N{ary, when the King was Prince of Wales, as well as card photographs of King Edward VII and King George VI. One card he prizes greatly shows the participants in the I-ocrano Pact in 1925 and carries the actual signatures of Austin Chamberlin, Nlussolini, Briand, Benesch and others-I\Ir. Arnold found the card in an ash can at Frankfort, Germany.

I\{r. Arnold found it rather tedious to be showing visitors his cards in the albums so he conceived the idea of rvallpapering his den u'ith them. Spread out on the walls of the den are over 1700 cards, some that date back to the l88os and up to the present time. They are set into the rvall on 22x4&inch cardboards. Photographer's art corners are used for each card. He alternates the square with nine-inch panels r*'hich makes an interesting pattern. A cellophane covering protects the cards from fading and discoloration.

\(/eyerha euser Purchases Airplane

For Intensive Aerial Survey \(/ork

Weyerhaeuser Timber Company announced the purchase of a single-engine airplane for use in surveying wind and insect damage to the firm's forest properties in Oregon.

"Our primary purpose in buying this Cessna 170-8 is to have available, on short notice, an aircraft capable of the intensive aerial survey work necessary on those Oregon tree farms which have been subject to severe insect infestations in the past few years," said E. F. Ifeacox, managing forester.

The aircraft, which carries four persons, will be outfitted with additional instruments and special equipment to adapt it to forest survey operations.

Weyerhaeuser's forestry department has leased aircraft from time to time during the past two years to do survey work on the Douglas fir bark beetle epidemic in southwestern Oregon and Western pine beetle infestations in the Klamath Falls area. The number of trees killed by these insects, coupled with extensive blow-down damage from the high winds of the past three winters, has assumecl serious proportions.

Forest entomologists know that wind-toppled timber provides the bark beetles with favorable breeding areas and leads to insect epidemics. For this reason both beetle surveys and windfall Surveys are necessary to keep abreast of the beetle developments.

Jack Crane, in charge of sales for Hobbs Wall Lumbcr Co., San Francisco, re'cently spent a week in Southern California, where he ciilled on the trade with Don Bufkin and Jim Richardson, sales representatives in that territory.

Forest fires originating on railroad rights-of-rray is the specific problem that is now under pin-point attack b1' all major railroads in California under a training progranl sponsored by, and in cooperation rvith, the U. S. Forest Service.

A series of training meetings recently held in Klamath Falls, Dunsmuir, and Quincy, California, betrveen railroad ofticers and Forest Service officers is the direct result of earlier meetings rvhere cooperative attack rvas pledged by all top railroad executives. Follorv-up instructions l.ill be carried down to Section Foremen and crerv levels in an effort to eliminate existing right-of-rvay hazards. Recognition of hazards, and improved methods of fire proofing, based on the experience of fire history, are important points stressed in this training program.

The railroads participating in this cooperative fire prevention effort are: \\'estern Pacific, represented bl- J. C. Munson, vice president and general manager, and Frank Woolford, chief engineer; Great Northern, by T. A. Jerrou'. vice president and general manager, and E. F. Or-iatt, division superintendent; N[cCloud River Railroad, bv Flal'ke Willis, president; and Southern Pacific, by E. D. I\Iood-v, assistant general manager and R. \\r.

Forest Service are l-orking closely rvith railroad fielcl personnel to carry out fire prevention objectives set forth by top-level officials of both organizations. Intensified cooperati'r'e efforts are expected to materially reduce forest fires from railroad causes this coming fire season.
