So Perhaps we should find out:
“What is Hoo-Hoo?” :..-

Here is the. account of. itg his.
tory as I have been told it.

The International. Concatenated
Order of Hoo-Hoo was organized
in’ Gurdon; Arkansas, on January
21, 1892, when Bolling Arthur

Johnson, a member of the editorial

staff of “American :-Lumberman,”
found himself stranded - in that
town with several others allied to
the forrest . products -industry:’:
Johnson saw. the need for an
organization of high ideals which
would promote the nation-wide
practice of a code. of ethics, The
organization he envisioned would
have the objective of encouraging
friendly relations, confidence and
co-operation among lumbermen,
fostering all activities which would
benefit the industry and humanity,
He also set down: the policy that
the fun’ of fellowship should be
one of the benefits of membership,
‘He first discussed his ideas for
a fraternity with a George Smith,
also stranded in Gurdon. Then and
there, with‘ four other men, they

; founded Hoo-Hoo and Johnson was

. Now entering its 5th year, “Hoo-.
Hoo: has had 75,00 ‘members -
since 1892," and. its’ Canada-US.
limits ‘have. been expanded ‘recent. -
ly ‘by new. clubs in Australia and ©
New -Zealand. The Prince George |
Hoo-Hoo Club ds. the only northern
one of ‘the four: now. in’: British
Columbia. The others are in Vic-
toria, Vancouver’. ‘and Kamloops, .
but: Hoo-Hao. officials confidently
expect the rapid. development of

'the forest industry in the north to

bring more clubs into the order.

The word ‘Hoo-Hoo” was coined
a month before the fraternal group
was founded. It was.a merry refer.
ence to the tuft of hair discovered
on the otherwise bald pate of
Charles H. McCarer at a south-
western lumber. ‘convention in
Kansas. city. McCarer had appear-
ed in a smoking jacket, decorated
front and back with several score
association badges. It was prompt-
ly call a Hoo-Hoo jacket .. - just
for fun. Lat : ;

Before’ the: evening was over,
there were Hoo-Hoo highballs,
Hoo-Hoo winning poker hands, and
so on, and it was the name select-
ed by Johnson. when the lumber
fraternal.- group Wag founded a

‘|month later,

’ The mythical nine lives of the

‘{sacred’: Egyptian Black Cat, with

its tail curved, as ‘the figure’ 9,
was selected as the order's
emblem. and is still used today.
A -Hoo-Hoo meeting ‘is officially —
styled a “eonCATentation,” which
is“.defined as “a series .or order
of things depending on each other,
as: if linked i in a chain.”
The... elub's. officers ‘ received
titles of. Snark, Scrivenoter, Bo-
jum,: Jabberwock, Custocatian, Ar-
.canoper, and: Gurdon which. were
drawn.largely from Lewis Carroll’s
“The “Hunting of the Snark.” To-
day,’ ‘the order. is spreading its
activities out from the “fur-and-
frolic” base. to more serious pur-
-poses,- with emphasis resting with’.
he research. ‘of forest . products °
nd: ‘their’ USER, : conservation, for-
‘astry,. ‘trade! promotion,’ ‘and mains
tenance of ethics in the industry.

‘Educational: ‘scholarships _ and _wel-

fare’ endeavours’ also are sponsor-

National. ‘Forest ‘Products “Week

the ‘role of the forest industry in

that’s what's in-a name.
