While studying the forests of tha United States, boys and girls of

Miss Murphy's room at Warner, the fifth grade, became very. inter ested in lumber. They read about the forests and the eaw mills and what happened to the trees before they turned into lumber. After wards they decided to make a small lumber camp, picturing what they had learned. So, for several weeks past they have been Spending their woodworking lessons with Miss Buhl, making the things which would tell their lumber story. . First, we Fee a forest near Bangor, Maine, in the winter time. Snow is everywhere. In the forest 13 the "bunk" house for the lumbermen, and a stable for the horses. There the trees are felled and the large logs chained to sleds, drawn by horses and carried down to the Penobscot river. From there they are floated down to the saw mill, where they are sawed up into lumber. The buildings, sleds, horses, and men are very well made, and the river and forest look quite like a real river and forest. "It is a very interesting piece of wor. This lumber camp and sawmill. in miniature, will be exhibited next Friday, April 1. to all the children and teachers of Warner, and to all the teachers in the fifth and the sixth grades. Each Child Makes Something Each child Iil the fifth grade worked on some special thing for this lumber stcry. Robert Baker, George Green and Preston LaFuze made the "bunk house." Hubert King and Charles Ferguson made the stable. Both buildings are painted red. From a window in this stable a horse looks out. Two horses are hitched to the Bled, too, which draws the logs. Angela Crabb, Ethel Pyle, and Gladys Brown made . the horses, white and black ones. The red sled, with the logs chained to it, was made by Leroy Merven and Fred Winchester. Hardy looking men dressed in blue, gray and black (painted) suits work in the camp and in the saw mill. These men were made. by Minnie Harkleroad, Dorothy Fratellio and Margaret Godsey. A splendid saw mill in red and yellow has been made by Frank Lting, Wade Williamson and John Wade. These boys also cemented the river bed and banks down which the logs are floated. A derrick, to lift the logs from the river to the saw mill was made out of an erector builder's set by Frank Lang. It pays to advertise a good thing, thought Robert Barker, so when the fifth grade was making posters advertising different things, he made one in orange and brown with a Dicture of a big log on it, "See Our Project." Robert wanted everyone to see their work with the lumber camp. ST. ANDREWS FIRST MAKES MARCH POSTERS The first grade of St. Andrews' have made some March posters.
