LOS.CAL LUAABER COA'TPANY

Mr. Harvey E. West, Sr., of the Placerville (Calif.) Lumber Co. is a lumberman like many another who does his good works in quiet, without the bright glare of publicity. But one of his many benefactions came to light recently when he was recog'nized by Bishop Joseph T. McGucken of the Sacramento diocese for his contribution to the erection of the Saint Theresa's Catholic church in Al Tahoe at Lake Tahoe. At Lumberman West's modest request, the plaque awarded him by the Bishop was just preiented to him informally by the Rev. John Grace, pastor of the new church, who reported that Mr. West had contributed lumber to the establishment of the church and made later contributions when the new church was built.

The plaque is inscribed:

"The Bishop ol Sacrannento, d,esiring witk the pastor ond, parishioners ol Parish ol Saint Theresa, Al Tahoe, California, to give recognition due to Harztey E.
