the county.
w. +. Bumgarnef, who owns
it together with his son, per-
forms miracles there daily: he
turns ordinary little pine poles
into lasting fence posts. said
to be as good as the best fat
pine.
His equipment is simple: a
26-foot vat, a boiler, q supply
Of creosote. and years of ex-
perience with a large Mobile
c~reosotjng concern
He buys posts. treats them,
and sells them Or you furn-
ish the posts, and he'll treat
them for you. He prefers the
latter method, which should
suit most citizens in Jackson
County where there are enough
suitable trees to fence the State
of Mississippi without depict
ing the supply.
The big problem, unless your
back is strong and you have
time on your hands, is that the
posts must be peeled before
they can be properly treated.
1t is also best If they are al
lowed to dry for a couple of
months, after being peeled.
But a big advantage Is that
posts measuring only three in
ches al the butt have proved
large enough for ordinary
fences, according to Mr.. Bum
garner.
Sucn a post takes only d cou-
pie If hours to treat, while
larger posts and timbers may
take up to twelve hours, he
explained.
Creosote is composed large
~ of pine tar, and is in real
ity mans way of duplicating
natures method of preserva-
ton. The solution is boiled in
TO, timber, saturating it with
the exception of the heart,
which will not take and does
not need the solution.
In the case of the Hurley
plant, the boiler-plate vat is
about four-by-four feet with
coils of pipe in the bottom.
Mr.. Bumgarner built it hon.
self. The boiler is fired with
coal or wood and the steam
filled pipes bring the solution
TO a Loiling point.
The timber is then lowered
into the vat by means OF
block and tackle and left int
the solution until il is cooked.

al An n8 ArF -

You see a lot of fences that
have fallen down out in the
country these DAYS, and the rea-
son might well be that light
wood or fat pine posts are
about as hard TO find as tie
traditional hens teeth or frog
hair. Time and the destruc-
tive forest fires have made de-
cent fence posts a rare thing,
indeed.
Ten or fifteen years ago, a
man could probably find enough
posts for his fences on his own
land. II he couldn't, he could
sort If borrow them from the
public lands or those OF an alb
sent landowner without fear of
prosecution OF any particular
complaints from the original
owner. Everyone knew them
would rot or burn-up, anyway.
And the source of supply is
gone. Pine trees don't get
big enough 10 produce much
hearts these davs before they
are off to the sawmills or pa
permits and most of them are
the wrong kind, anyway.
so lightWood for kindling
and posts is another natural
resource of South Mississippi
that has largely been lost be-
fore our advancing civilization.
Natural and bottled gas have
largely replaced the pine knot
fires in the fireplaces and heat
ers and now an out-of state
man has apparently brought us
an answer to- the fence post
problem.
Everyone knows that a pine
sapling fence post will last just
about as long as it takes to tell
it. hardwood or sap cypress
lasts little longer, The cost of
steel posts is often prohibitive.
But the same lowiy pine sap
ling, when properly treated.
will last for forty years, we
are told. They have been us
ing them for a long time in
other sections where they
were not blessed with a large
stockpile of lightwood.
The Hurley Creosoting Com
pany, located just north of the
Hurley Post Office on the Moss
Point-Lucedale highway, is not
a very impressive looking con
Germ. Yet we believe it may
hold the answer to the fence
post problem and may develop
into quite a little industry in

Hold That Loan!

From the Veterans Adj
ministration I S week
comes a reminder to all
veterans that they have ten
years after the official end
of the war during which to
apply for a CT loan for
homes.
And last week a vice-pres-
iddlt of the Mortgage
Bankers Association declar-
ed that veterans too often
are paying a price and as
suming a debt which may,
in a short time exceed
the price at which he may
purchase a similar house."
We think both points well
taken, and we pass them
along to our veteran read
ers and their families be-
cause we know of the UNI
derstandable Impotence OF
many former servicemen
ito settle down in their
own homes.
There is no finer move
that a young man can make
than purchasing a home,
providing that the price is
right and he can keep up
the payments. The last two
points are more important
than some Of our veteran
friends seem to realize, since
the government only agrees
to help you buy your home
by guaranteeing half of the
purchase price. They do not
agree to purchase it for you
outright, by any means,
but only to sign your note"
in the usual sense.
What happens if you can't
keep up the payments? You
lose your place, just the
same as you would if you
had it mortgaged to a bank
or any other lending agency.
And your loan guarantee is
gone, for the government
cant keep backing you on
purchase after purchase.
The housing situation
here is not at all desperate
compared to many other
sections of the country. And
we would sincerely advise
serious onsideration of all
factors before exc. Is give
up their low-rent govern
ment housing to step into
the inflated buying or build
ing fields.

Hugh Wilson's
Former Home
Is Leased
By Katharine M. Brooks

BY Katharine M. Brooks /
The Canadian Ambassador and
Mrs. Hume Wrong have found a
house. 1t will not be permanent
home for the Ambassador from the
Dominion as they have leased it only
for a year. But it is a lovely house
situated among the treres of Mass
achusetts Avenue Park and is the
home of former United States AM
bassador and Mrs. Hugh r. Wilson
at 2839 Woodland drive. The house
Is well adapted for such entertaining
as the Ambassador and Mrs. Wrong
Will want to do and perhaps, II the
Wilson's decide to sell their WASH
ington home, the Canadian govern
ment may purchase the property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson bought a
place at Manchester, VT, and have
gone there to make their permanent
home. Mr.. Wilson has retired from
the foreign service and since his
recent illness has taken no part In
~AAN oOSAoA WAAi&A az IlIC SdplDdl.
The Ambassador and Mrs. Wrong
had no place to stay when they ar
rived In Washington a month or
more ago as the Embassy on Massa-
chusetts avenue has been taken over
almost completely by offices for the
chancery and forsthe missions. The
recently appointed Canadian Min
lister and Mrs. Thomas A. Stone in
vited them to be their guests until
they could find something. This
they did, occuying the house on
Glenbrook road while the Stones
were out of town. Since their return
the Ambassador and Mrs. Wrong
have been at Wardman Park Hotel.
They probably will stay there until
the middle of December.
The house on Woodland drive is |
undergoing some needed repairs
before the winter sets in and bit
of redecorating is being done here
and there. These are expected to be
completed by the middle of Decem-
ber and after that there will be nu-
merous parties, for the new Am
bassador and Mrs. Wrong are very
popular hosts in Washington.
Coming back after several years
absence they find many friends still
on duty at this Capital, but more
than that they have wide circle of |
friends and admirers In resident
groups.
The Ambassador has served here
several times and was one of the
early members of the staff when the
Legation was established in 1926. It
was the late Mr., Merchant Mahoney,
then Canadian Secretary to the Brit
ish Embassy, who was appointed First
Secretary of the Legation and, being
on the scene of action, became the
first member of that staff. Mr..
Wrong came at that time as First
Secretary and at the same time the
present Minister Counselor, Mr..
Stone, came as Second Secretary. 1t
is interesting that these men have
followed along in the same posts
through the years.
The late Mr.. Mahoney remained
In Washington. serving in several ca
pacities at the Legation and EN-
bassy until in 1945 as Counselor of
the Embassy he was transferred to
Ireland as High Commissioner. He
died at his post in that country
earlier this year. Mrs. Mahoney
and their daughter, Miss Anne Ma
honey, returned to Canada and are
living in an apartment in Ottawa.
They all were very popular here and
through the war Miss Mahoney did
important work for the Red Cross.
