"This makes a total of $6.450 the chapter has received from the National Foundation this year. A check for $2,950 was sent us in July," W. C. Green, chapter chairman, told The News. "This money is an advance supplied by chapters operating in the black.

This Michigan book takes a Wakefield, school teacher a-logging, not. in the 90's as the title might seem to imply, but in rather recent times.

The book should appeal both to the old-time logger and to the modern reader with a longing for the nostalgic. Appealing to the more adventurous-minded.
