Pedersen family
gathers at Jensens
Leon
The Niels Pederson descend
dants met for a third family
reunion at the Orla Jensen home
at Charlo, Father’s Day week
end, 1962. The past reunions had
been held in 1957 and 1959. Mr
and Mrs Niels Pederson brought
their family to the United States
from Denmark in 1911. Both
parents have passed on but nine
of the 13 sons and daughters
still live and were all at the
reunion. A family history and
scrap book is being prepared.
The family met at the Orla
Jensen ranch prepared for a
week end of camping, eating,
visiting and just plain fun. A
community kitchen was set up
and an average of 65 persons
were served at each meal.
Strandvoid Knudsen of St. Igna
tius furnished all the beef and
everyone feasted “royally.”
It seemed that your commun
ity got behind this reunion and
to all that helped in any way, we
extend our sincere appriciation.
We agree with the Jensens, Ped
ersens and Knudsens of this
community that very wonderful
people live here, the visitors
said.
Those present were the Chris
Pedersen family of Ronan; Mr
and Mrs Marvin Hyatt of Mis-

at the Orla Jensen home.
JOB OF MAKING
YOUR NEWSPAPER
NEW YORK —Canada's newsprint producers who provide more
than 70 percent of the American supply, have just finished a
key phase of the job of making paper for next year’s newspapers.
This is the annual Spring drive, in which millions of pulpwood
logs cut in the backwoods last
Fall and Winter are floated
downriver to the mills. Most of
the paper made from these logs
will reach U.S. newspapers
during 1963.
Details of the drive are ex
plained by the Newsprint In
formation Committee, composed
of a representative group of
the Canadian mills.
Tossing one log in the river
to float downstream is simple
and costs nothing. Tossing in
some 40 million logs is both
complicated and costly.
From the air, a lake or river
full of logs looks like a tub of
bath water into which have
been dumped twelve boxes of
cornflakes. The latter eventu
ality would present certain
problems for the plumbing and
these problems have their
counterparts in the complex
river drive.
Annual Push
Records for one such river
operation show that the annual
push requires the services of
300 men to move a million cords
189 miles. It takes 150 days and
almost a million dollars.
As the thaw builds up the
head of water in the lakes and
rivers, the logs are enclosed

Camp Fire News
Tawanka Camp Fire
Tawanka Camp Fire group
of the eighth grade recently
planted gladioluses, petunias
and asters along the rear park
ing area wall at the local post
office. Dirt for the project was
donated by Charles Whalen,
father of one of the members.
With the help of the post office
staff, the group’s leader and
Lois Mahe, the flower bed is
kept watered.
in booms which are towed into
position behind the dams. For
this job and kindred work, the
inventory includes 20 power
boats, 10 outboard motors, two
derricks mounted on scows, ten
other scows, and four house
boats.
Holding Ponds
Men are posted at the dams
day and night to open the sluice
gates for passage of the logs
when wind and water conditions
are right. Detailed arrange
ments are worked out with the
power authorities so that there
will be adequate water flow
for both the log drive and gen
eration of electricity.
On the trip downstream,
eight power dams have to be
passed by the logs. Intermedi
ate holding ponds are set up
where logs are again assembled
behind dams at various stages
of the trip so that they can be
sent, onward with sufficient
momentum of wind and water
behind them.
One company finds that In
dian employees are especially
good at understanding the ways
of weather and river and turn
ing them to best advantage for
the drive. ®
