huge host of friends who gathered to wish Mr. LeMaster "many more," besides which "Le" was showered with gifts, flowers, cards, telegrams and phone calls from all parts of the U. S. of A. Nearly every I{ooHoo club in the countrY wished the order's past Snark of the IJniverse, and now longtime Seer of the House of Ancients, their very best as he hit his octogenarian year. Nan and Bill Russell telephoned him from Houston, and many of the Sacramento guests phone-visited with the popular Texans as their long-distance toll hit a gusher.

The Los Angeles guests included Mr. and Mrs. RoY Stanton, Sr., the Dee EssleYs, and Mr. and Mrs. HarveY Koll, who joined others from all over the state. The next daY, JulY 11, was also the birthdaY of Dee Essley, so it was a dual celebration. Although the l1th is the actual natal day, Le and Gertrude LeMaster held their oPen house on the more convenient Sunday before.

One of Mr. LeMaster's nicest birthday "presents" was her entire Sunday column in The Sacramento Union written -bY his daughter, Mae Belle Pendergast, women's editor of the newspaper. It was a glowing but well-deserved tribute from daughter to father.

Mr. LeMaster, it should be noted, took the time out to celebrate from his normal busY duties publishing his lumber tradepaper and his tremendous, active support of National Forest Products Week, and Forest Products Day of California, Inc., at the State E air, September 9. They can say it well of Mr. LeMaster: "If you want which Le, Roy Stanton and Dee enioy something done, ask a busy Person." The veteran publisher's 80th year will just roll right off his shoulders like all the other vears.
