 medicals schools.

 ture and techniques despite his heavy

 of education and has been active in 

 establishing a modern health program 

 in Roseville, with emphasis on pre- 

 ventative medicine and immunization. 



He is president of the county chapter 

 of the National Foundation for Infan- 

 tile Paralysis and is a member of the 

 county tuberculosis district board. 



He is also know to Farm Bureau

 DEMONSTRATION 



With the trees felled and bucked, 

 the skidding and yarding equipment 

 took over, and the large tractors, sul- 

 kies, log carts and hydraulic lift bars 

 were put to work. 



Wood chopping and sawing contests, 

 traditional logging show stunts, were 

 held during the noon hour. 



The afternoon was devoted to log- 

 loading demonstrations and sawmill 

 operations. One of the new machines 

 shown was a self-loading attachment 

 for log trucks. 



Final sawmill operations were per- 

 formed by two portable mills. Both 

 were diesel-powered. 



Men in charge of the show estimated 

 that more than half a million dollars 

 worth of logging machinery and equip- 

 ment was demonstrated during the day. 



Registration cards showed visitors 

 from 12 states, including Illinois.
