PERSONNEL MEETING BRINGS US TOGETHER
4
Y�
...from the Director's Desk
We hope that all of you enjoyed and benefited from the
personnel meeting on May 12 at the Lakeview Methodist en-
campment. We never seem to have enough time at these meet-
ings to get all the things done that need to be done.
It is at meetings of this sort that all of us should
be impressed by the fact that the Texas Forest Service is
not just a bunch of fine people working for a state agency.
But, rather, that each of us is an important part of a well -
oiled machine designed to provide an important service to
the people and to the resources of Texas.
As individuals, we can only make an effective contri-
bution by calling on the knowledge and assistance of all the
other people in the organization. Our personnel meetings
show us how many people are standing behind us to help.
After we learn that these people are there to help us, then
we will soon learn to call on them for their help.
The Meeting
According to many, this year's
personnel meeting was the best ever. And
the relaxed, serene atmosphere among the
pines at Lakeview Methodist Assembly near
Palestine contributed greatly to its
success. Many new employees realized for
the first time, the scope of Texas Forest
Service activities and the many people
who are involved in performing them.
A number of speakers took part in the
May 12 program. Director Kramer was mod-
erator. He also outlined the Service's
immediate goals and introduced the 51
new employees who had joined the Service
since the 1969 meeting. R. J. Rodgers
D -3 crewleader at Weches, gave the invo-
cation. Dr. L. S. Pope associate dean
of the College of Agriculture at Texas
A&M University, gave the principal address
on "Selling Your Service." John Hill
insurance and safety director, brought
employees up to date on the various
insurance plans available to them. And
former director A. D. Folweiler took the
opportunity to renew acquaintances with
everyone.
There were other activities on the
lighter side. Approximately 180 people
guessed at the number of loblolly seeds
in a jar. A cardboard cylinder was hidden
within the seeds to deceive contestants.
Charles W. Moore, aide to specialist with
the Forest Genetics Lab, won a transistor
radio for his winning guess of 40,968 --
only 114 more than the actual number of
seeds.
The "Accident of the Year Award"
was presented for the first time to
Maribeth Rogers, Forest Products technical
assistant, for her spectacular encounter
with a filing cabinet. (cont. page 3)

Meeting Cont.
And once again, the TFS Players
graced the meeting with a dramatic pre-
sentation which left the audience speech-
less. The group chose to perform a play
entitled "An Old East Texas Legend,"
written especially for the occasion by
Bruce Miles Poet Laureate of the Texas
Forest Service. It documented the careers
of Department Heads Don Young and Joe
Burnside According to the legend, the
more fishing tales one tells, the shorter
one becomes, which accounts for Don Young's
height. The play also spoofed Joe Burnside's
A.M. 15. It grew larger as Don Young grew
smaller.
Players included Bruce Miles
assistant to director; Leo Rawls D -5
forestry aide; Pat Ebarb D -5 district
forester; Wayne Moore D -1 fire supervisor;
Charlie Kelley D -5 fire supervisor; Jimmy
Hull D -5 assistant district forester;
Terry Sloan D -5 assistant forester; and
Billy Eaves D -4 educational officer.
Technical assistants were Travis Flournoy
and Ed Lamb of the Fire Control Commun-
ications Section.
The meeting provided a once -a -year
opportunity to mix and mingle, to welcome
back retirees and to recognize those who
had contributed something extra to the
Service. The following employees were
honored:

Sun; John Hale D -2 assistant forester,
for the kind and patient manner in which
he assisted a Longview landowner with
timber management problems; Charlie Kelley
D -5 fire supervisor, and David Horn D -5
forestry aide, whose immediate and efficient
response to a fire drew praise from a
grateful landowner.
• $50 CASH AWARDS. Ed Makarski
D -2 radio technician; Chester Watts and
Hubert Harrell D -2 mechanics; for their
initiative and creativity in rigging a
money- saving device that warns crews to
disconnect radio cables before unloading
tractors.
A GOOD LAUGH, to a man, is like oil to
a good machine.
PATIENCE isn't learned voluntarily; life
knocks it into us.
ONE FINE DAY and we forgot an entire
winter.

Clifford P. Isaacs prize cocker
spaniel was named a Champion by the Amer-
ican Kennel Club after five consecutive
wins at all -breed dog shows in Missouri,
Kansas, Indiana and Michigan. The Isaacs
also raise quality German Shepherds.
Clifford was a little disappointed
when he and his dad, visiting from San
Antonio, were blanked on a fishing trip
to Sam Rayburn. But when they returned
to the house, it only took his Dad 15
minutes to land a 6 pound bass from a stock
pond nearby.
Speaking of dogs, Staff Forester
George Olson of College Station is shar-
ing his household with a Lhasa Apso, the
oldest living breed known. Until recently,

these dogs were only owned by aristocratic
families in India. George has been trying
hard to live up to such high standards.
The dog, which came from his s-on in
New York, was toilet trained on the
New York Times, and had a hard time
adjusting to the Bryan Daily Eagle. George
calls it "Hippy" because the dog's long
hair makes it difficult to tell whether
it's a male or female.
Hats off to Ed Barron D -6 assistant
district forester, who received his master
of forestry degree from SFA on May 15.
Elmer Braddock D -1 crewleader at Mims
Chapel, recently hosted the men of District

TFS Float Places third
At Kirbyville Jubilee
Kirbyville held its 75th Anniversary
Celebration May 31 -June 6, and District 5
personnel played a large role in its
success. Pat Ebarb and Ronald Graves
were on the steering committee. Terry
Sloan and James Whaley were in charge of
the forest skills contests. Jim Powell
was in charge of decorating the TFS
float that won third prize in a field of
50. A bewhiskered Ebarb (see picture at
right) proved his pan - handling ability in
collecting large sums of money to finance
the activities.
The prize- winning float depicted a
burned -out scene, typical of the early
part of this century. Fire Supervisor
Charlie Kelley portrayed a fire patrol-
man viewing arsonists through field glasses
as he talked on an old TFS telephone
system. Dorman Walters and Robert Horn,
sons of Forestry ides D. A. Wa ers and
Athen Horn played the arsonists. 7he
float was wired with music and covered
with signs saying "Burn Baby Burn, - that's
the way it used to be." Smokey rode in
the Fire Control unit that pulled the
float. It was covered with love flowers
and signs saying "Green Is Beautiful."
Other activities during the week
included a horse show, baseball game for
dignitaries, cake baking contest, ice
cream supper, three dances, exhibit hall,
town marker dedication, forest ski-Lis con-
test, barbershop singing, as well as class
and family reunions. The final day drew
a crowd in excess of 5,000.
The special effort put forth by District
5 brought warm praise from the Kirbyville
Chamber of Commerce. Donald Stroup, pres-
ident of the group, addressed a letter to
Director Kramer "thanking Mr. Pat Ebarb
in particular, as we feel that he is. due
recognition not only from our community,
but also from the Texas Forest Service."
In case you are wondering about the
$50 prize, it will be offered up to
Dionysus in special rites conducted by
all D -5 per so nn el and their wives.

On may 4, Forestry Aide Allan Wilson
and Educational Officer Jerry Grimes of
District 4 cooked catfish for 90 young
men in the Woodville FFA Chapter.
Millie Burnside underwent vocal
cord surgery in Longview during April.
We wish her a speedy recovery.
A new forestry museum has been
established in Lufkin by the Texas For-
estry Association, the Lufkin Kiwanis
Club and other local industries. On
display at the TFA office on Atkinson
Drive are a 1907 steam railroad engine,
a tender car and track- mounted steam
"donkey" log loader. Other forestry
industry artifacts will be added in the
future.
Dennis Michel D -4 assistant forester,
is assistant leader of Woodville Boy Scout
Troop 54.
WE EXTEND OUR SYMPATHY TO:
Clarence Blackmon D -1 crewman,
whose mother died May 1.
James K. Griffin Pest Control staff
forester, whose mother recently died in
Pennsylvania after a long illness.
District 1 has been busy helping the
Extension Service stage a forestry clinic
in Linden May 28.
Pete Coltharpe, D -1 forestry aide, has a
new helper who follows him everywhere- -
even up the tower - -but he won't come down:
When rumors reached the Forest Pro-
ducts Lab that the fish pond at the Cud -
lipp Center might be eliminated, the
girls immediately formed a "Save the Fish
and Fix the Fountain Committee." It was
successful in saving the fountain. But
now it has made further demands that the
water be kept well oxygenated and clear.
The committee has promised to inform us
of all future negotiations.
District 6 reports that the Sweet -
leaf Nature 'Trail is drawing approximately
1000 visitors each month. During May,
the following groups toured the Jones
Forest area.: Porter -New Caney School,
Tomball 3rd grade, Conroe Classic School,
Trinity Zion Lutheran School, Runyan
Special Education Class and scout groups
from Alvin, Sharpstown, Houston and
Magnolia.
The Quitman Nature Trail was a big
success this year. D -1 Educational
Officer German Adrian and Assistant District
Forester Jimmy Hull worked hard on the
project, which was sponsored jointly by
the Quitman Public Schools, Wood County
Electric Cooperative, Inc., and the TFS.
Stacey Smith son of D -3 Educational
Officer Larry Smith is recovering from
an emergency hernia operation May 9.
He loves to show off his "train track"- -
the sutures across his tummy.
Larry Shaw son of D -3 Forestry
Aide Elzy Shaw is also recovering from
a long stint in Houston Methodist Hos-
pital. We wish both of them the best
of luck.
Next time you want to hear a good
lie, ask Pete Cooper D -4 crewleader,
to tell you about the time a man set his
pond on fire to get rid of the cattails.
The fire raced across the pond and on to
the bank. Pete and several others helped
put the fire out by dousing it with buck-
ets of water. Pete didn't turn in a fire
report. "I knew nobody would believe it,"
he says.
District 3 enjoyed visiting with
retired employees Knox Ivie and James
Kimbro at the recent personnel meeting.

A Cure for Mosquitoes
Do mosquitoes bug you? Thiamine
hydrochloride (Vitamin Bl) might be the
answer. But check with your physician
before you use it.
The body only absorbs as much of
this substance as it can use, and the
surplus passes harmlessly out through
the sweat glands onto the skin. For
some reason, mosquitoes are repelled by
it.
The dose, taken in tablet form, is
cheap, and it isn't smelly or messy. It
will work on anyone who perspires normally.
One doctor prescribed 20 mg. for a large
adult, 15 mg. for an average -size adult,
5 mg. for an eight - year -old and 22 mg.
for an 18- month -old. (Source: Agline)

Retired
Truman Alford, D -1 fire supervisor,
retired March 31. He and his wife plan
to travel throughout Mexico in their
Volkswagen bus.
Truman joined the Service in 1960
after 26 years with the U.S. Army. His
last assignment was with the Pentagon in
Washington, D.C. He was born in Many,
La., April 20, 1911. Many of the sub-
sequent events in his life are disclosed
in the following "biography," prepared
by D -1 personnel for a party given in
his honor.
Once upon a time, many years ago, a
struggling young farm lad decided to
better equip himself for life's toils
and troubles. So he enrolled at LSU
(which was his first big mistake).
He decided to study electrical en-
gineering because people in that neck
of the woods didn't know what electricity
was. No one knew what to teach, so he
had plenty of time to spend with a.
classmate called Hubert Horatio Humphrey,
H.H.H. for short. After four or six years
of this type of indoctrination, he was
thoroughly trained in how not to work
for a living - - -so upon graduation he
joined the Army:;
It was during those years in the Army
that he discovered the stock market.
He was a natural for this type thing.
Long ago, on the bayou banks of home, he
had learned all about shooting craps,
which was similar. He quickly realized
that stocks and bonds did not require
as much work as cultivating, harvesting
or feeding. He got in on a pre- develop-
ment deal and bought a bundle of shares
in a newly- formed company he had heard
of. It was called AT &T (whatever that
means).
The young Lieutenant was soon sur-
prised to discover that the Army was
using the newfangled telephone. Soon,
base after base was trying to get new
and better communications. Generals
were competing with generals for tele-
phones. The young Captain watched with
glee and soon became the middle -aged
Colonel. The future looked all roses- -
but not for long. He kept hearing dis-
quieting rumors about his old classmate,
H.H.H., who was really coming up in the
world.
The Colonel started getting nervous
in the service. H.H.H. was an old friend,
a trusted buddy, a classmate. The Colonel
knew him well. And with H.H.H. in position
to gain control of the country, the Army
was not a safe place to be. The Colonel
began looking for a new berth. He needed
to get way back in the hills while H.H.H.
was threatening- -back to the "grass roots,"
so to speak.
Luck was with him. He soon heard of
a pigeon called Folweiler, and an organ-
ization called the Texas Forest Service.
Although he couldn't expect to find
"grass roots" in the forest, the Colonel
reasoned that after he worked a few years
as fire supervisor, there might be less
forests and more grass:::
The Colonel set to work and soon
proved to all skeptics (including
Folweiler) that a good electrical engi-
neer could strike sparks from most any
object, and at any time! He adapted
quickly to his new line of work and
learned to jump with startling agility
from crisis to crisis and from peak to
peak, as prescribed by the A.M. 15. He
soon became so agile that many observers
swore they couldn't tell his mountains
from his molehills::: (cont. page 11)
10
Retired coot.
There is one rumor, however, that
has never really been proved. We ought
to set the record straight right now.
No one can prove that the Colonel bought
controlling interest in IBM, just to use
a computer for figuring odds on foot-
ball pools!
Time passed rather quietly for the
Colonel, and one day he heard the news- -
H.H.H. had been defeated and was out of
work. After that, the Colonel's interest
in his job was never the same. With
H.H.H. no longer a threat, there was
really no need to stay hidden in the
sticks. Besides that, there was a challenge
there for the Colonel. If a classroom
buddy could quit work and still do good,
why couldn't he ? ??
The more he thought about it, the
more intrigued he became. So one day,
he got up the nerve and went to work.
He waited patiently for several hours
until the Boss finally showed up, and
then he quit. Cold With only one
year's advance notice. Ruthless
And there he is today - -at the prime
of his life (he took good care of himself),
footloose and fancy free and in perfect
health. He's drawing retirement from two
jobs, and if that ain't inspiration for
you youngsters, it should be::
Why, just think - -- -there just ain't
no telling where he might have gone if he
had ever worked :::::

Hal Harris photographer at College
Station, says the fatality rate among
smokers and non - smokers is the same. It's
just that the timing is different.
Forestry aides in District 6 learned
how to plant trees the hard way. They
planted 15,000 in an old, muddy rice field
and 80,000 in a hard gravel pit. On the
only ideal site, the weather was unbear-
ably cold.
New techniques are being used by two

which increases total production by 10%.
The Conroe Creosoting Company has

product an appealing, grass -green color,
