Yes Sir! Even the'Skid Row' Storted in Old Logglng Comps

OLD DAYS

One of the America's top forest experts says that synthetic materials are a menaee to the lumber industry "only if we fall asleep."

W. F. McCulloch, dean of the School o{ Forestry, Oregon State College, Corvallis, in the feature banquet address at a recent meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in Hotel Multnomah, Portland, said that technical development is the answer to the industry's sales problems.

"Once." he said. "all we did was to cut board. .Now we are expanding the number of our end products enormously. Wood is really a new chemical substance. We cah compete successfully, on an economic basis, with any of the synthetics."

Dean McCulloch has been active in the field for 37 years. He has worked as a fireman in an Erie Railroad machine shop steel mill, manager of a wholesale hardware store, assistant superintendent of a logging camp, and assistant forester of the State of Oregon.

He has compiled a dictionary of 4,0fi) terms used in the old logging fields. The volume is in the hand of several historical societies which are looking for funds to publish it.

Among the terms in the dictioriary are many which have come out of the logging camps and into general use in other fields:

Logrolling-originally, loggers used to stack their .logs on a rollway, on the bank, before pushing them into the stream. Different camps would join forces to get the logs moving, thus giving birth to the present political meaning of the phrase.

Greasing the skids-logs used to be moved along a road made of skids. These would be greased to make the logs move more easily.

Skid Road-named for the road along which the logs were skidded. The skid road used to be the heart of the logging camp. One of the famous skid roads was Yesler Way, once the heart of Seattle. The term "Skid Row" was the result of poor hearing on the part of a group of Chicago journalists passing through this territory, Dean McCulloch said.

Easy as falling off a log-self-explanatory.

Dean McCulloch. heads what many consider to be the best forestry school in the nation. The school, which has graduated a total oI I,4ffi students, celebrated its 50th anniversary a few months ago. Among its more famous alumni have been B. L. Orell, vice-president of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, St. Paul, Minn., and former state forester of Washington, and George Spaur, former state forester of Oregon, now heading a forestry program in Pakistan for the International Co-operation Administration. Other graduates are holding down responsible positions in such countries as Afghanistan, Saudi Arabi and the Canal Zone.

Dean McCulloch said that the future is bright for the
