Retires To frovel

Tom Burge, who has been identified in the lumber business in Los Angeles since 1920, retired last month to "travel and take it easy," he says.

It was just 42 years ago that Tom came to California and started his lumber career with E. J. Stanton & Son, fnc., wholesale lumber concern, as a yard employee. During the years he worked in every department in the production-division and became one of the top hardwood lumber graders.

Tom was raised on a ranch near Fort Lupton, Colorado, where _he recently visited his brother following his retirement. He intends, to fish, travel and loaf in the California sunshine, according to the statement given the CLM staff representatlve.

"We are sorry to lose Tom," said Roy Stanton, Sr., presi- dent of the lumber distributing firm, "but we are very happy that he will be able to take it easy in the coming years and enjoy life." Mr. Stanton presented an engraved gold watch to Tom in recognition of his services.

The 434th Terrible Twenty tournament was held July 20 at Wilshire Country Club, with Cliff Simpson as host. The course was beautiful, but, reports secretary H. M. Alling, almost none of the members could handle it.

Morgan Mullins did the best job with 84-10-74 in the low bracket, and Clarence Bohnhoff with 89-17-72 in the high bracket.

Two old members came out for the day, Ham Hamilton and Dewey Reeder, and received a rvarm welcome.
