Saving Is Cited

The National Capital Parks Serv.
Ices come-and-cut-your-ow fire.
wood experiment in Rock Greek
Park yesterday proved a decided
success.
From early morning until late
afternoon, when tree surgeons ir
charge of operations began to dis
courage further logging operations
Washingtonians were chopping fire.
wood.
About 120 persons registered with
George Outlaw of Vienna, Va, and
p. p. McGill of Arlington, Va, tree
surgeons from the National Parks
Service assigned to supervise the
operations. The tree-cutters ar.
rived in 30 cars, some making two
or three trips to haul their logs
away. Mr.. Outlaw estimated they
hauled away between Is and q
cords of wood.
Mr.. Outlaw and Mr.. McGill
placed their truck at Pierce Mill
Beach drive and Tilden street in
Rock Creek Park, at 8 am. anG
soon were surrounded by about sc
persons seeking to register and bor-
row tools. Ten bull saws, Is axes
6 wedges, 6 hammers and 8 cross
cut saws were distributed. After the
registration, all moved to a nearby
wooded section.
Irving c. Root. superintendent o1
the District parks for the Nationa
Capital Parks Service, arrived al
midmorning to check on the opera
tions.
Mr.. Root soon was estimating the
amount which would be saved te
the Government If the plan is ex.
tended to other parks, as he indi.
Gated it would be.
In the woods where there is quite
lot of down timber, it costs about
$50 an acre to clear it," he said. III
we had our own labor, we woulo
have to have supervisory forces just
the same, and we would have to put
a gang of men in here at about S.
day, and at IS a day they don't
do lot of work"
He said that of the 5000 acres ir
the District park system. some 81
per cent is wooded and require.
cleaning out at this time. Most Of
1t. he said, is in Rock Creek anG
Dupont parks. 1T looks as though
we would carry this woodchoppine
right through the park SYSTEM" he
said.
The offer Of free wood and un-
limited exercise brought out Wash.
ingtonians from all walks of life.
Among the woodmen were
Stephen Wargo, an employe of the
Post Once Department; r. G
Young, who works in the General
Accounting Office; DR.. Walter Free.
man, George Washington neurol-
ogy professor; Warren Nye, a Navy
Yard worker, and A. w. Guyer, q
retired police lieutenant.
1t. Guyer, who served 80 years ir
the District Police Department
lives at 1924 Piney Branch road NV
He was interested in one wood only
black walnut.
Before many hours had passed. 1t
Guyer's car was loaded with section!
Of black walnut. Its one Of tht
best, If not the best American wooc
we have" 1t. Guyer said, explaining
that he did not intend to use hi.
haul for firewood. I'm going tt
make things with it on my lathe,
he said.
DR.. Freeman was accompanied by
his five sons, Walter, Franklin, Paul
