arranged by. Peggy lVIattola. President Sallye made the evening roll right along.

Feather Falls, Calif.-The 600 residents of this Butte County mountain logging town were ordered to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice, Sept. 3, after lightning set off a blaze that destroyed 7 million board feet of stacked logs. The timber loss, amounting to $200,000, represented half the stockpile set aside to keep the Georgia-Pacific Corp. pine mills at Feather River going through the winter.

The battle to save the other half of the stockpile was won but it was clear there would be unexpected unemployment for perhaps eight months before Feather Falls gets back to normal.

The fierce blaze was set off jg-st before midnight, Sept. 2, by the lightning strike. Two huge lumber decks, each 1,000 feet long and 50 feet high, went into spectacular flames. No one could remain near the unbelievablv hot. burning decks so firemen did their best and then trained hoses on houses in the town and on three fuel tanks barely 200 yards from the conflagration. CHP Capt. Ralph Walker said the battle to save the town would have been lost had the flames reached one of the tanks.

Joe Lebo, G-P logging' manag'er, told the townspeople, "We will make every attempt to stockpile more lumber before winter snows fall," but he acknowledged there would have to be some curtailment of operations.

L. A. Hoo-Hoo-Ettes Enioy Evening

Congratulations were being extended President Sallye Bissell and her Program committee last month for an unusually fine meeting of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. 1 the evening of September 12 in the Chapman Park hotel, an excellent location, with superb service and food,

For entertainment, Lorraine Theetge showed beautiful pictures of Hawaii and Mexico City, with her narration as excellent as her films. Phyllis Hawkins, the club's contestant for "Queen of the Forest" at the recent Forest Products Day at the California State Fair (CLM,10/l/60), described the contest and the lovelv winner. Shari Britt. Anne Murray made the trip to Sacramento with Phyllis and reported that the lumber hosts and hostesses really rolled out a red carDet for them all.

Miss Hawkins, who is also the club's Employment chairman, reports that there are more jobs than applicants presently available, and the club would like to be able to supply help to all the lumbermen requesting its services.

The club was pleased to see Jane Adams and Mildred Evans in attendance again, and a welcome letter was read from Past-President Mabel Stasser, now visiting in Denver before her November return to L.A. Corrine Adams showed some of the lovely Christmas cards that will be available from Irene Ridgeway this season.

The capable 1959-60 president, Margaret Gladish, was presented a gift from the members, a beautiful necklace, bracelet and ear-bobs, which excited so much admiration it was wondered if she got home with it.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 has again asked the No. 1 Hoo-Hoo-Ettes to join them in an outstanding Christmas party for the deserving youths at the Leroy Boys' Home, and the Iumberwomen have accepted graciously. The party will be December 16 at the Nikabob.

Bessie Stewart, who is now editing the breezy "Cat Tales" bulletin monthly, urged all the members not to miss the gala Luau planned for October 10 at the Downey home of President Bissell. The girls of San Fernando Valley Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 6 were also invited to ioin with Club No. 1 in this event.
