New Attachment System For Abbestos Cement Siding

(From Arizona Sun.)

HAPPY JACK-This forest timber sale camp 42 miles south of Flagstaff was recently the scene of the annual training school at which Coconino National Forest seasonal employees were taught forest fire-fighting techniques.

Right across the road north is "Saginaw Camp," rvhich is headquarters for the logging operations for the two big Flagstaff sawmills, Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., and Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company.

More than 60 men, including representatives of Sitgreaves, Tonto and Kaibab forest in addition to Coconino, gatl-rered here for registration preparatory to the training program which concluded with the actual setting of "forest fires" and demonstrations of bringing them under cnntrol.

The "llres" r,vere watched closely and forest service officials say that there was no danger of them "getting away."

With 60 men on hand, all highly conscious of fire-fighting techniques, there was little possibility that if a fire should really get started, it would have a chance to become a big one.

The annual training school was omitted last year because the fire season started so early that the fire-fighters received their training fighting real fires.

United States Gypsum has just announced a new "tool" to promote sales of gypsum sheathing and asbestos cement siding. Called the Shadow-Lock Attachment Systenr, it permits the application of asbestos cement siding directly over gypsum sheathing. Detailed information may be obtained from local representatives of the company, or by writing United States Gypsum, Department 122, 300 West Adams Street, Chicago 6, Ill.
