The difference between the coffee- breakers in both areas would leap out at you and scream. We tried it this week. We usually have our coffee or our fast lunch right in downtown Terrace because that is where our place of work is also located. The pecple we see regularly are business- men, bankers, stenographers, clerks, salesmen and professional people, They all play an important part in the daily progress of our community. But we have to go to the west end of town to find the grassrcots pecple, In the west end, one is certain to have his coffee break amidst a group comprised of loggers, truckers, loggers, linemen, loggers, mechanics and more loggers. It’s the loggers who make the lasting impression. Not because they are all decked out in calk boots, plaid shirts and hard hats. But because they have a determined lack in their eye. They must know that a whole com- rnunity depends on them to produce, and they accept this responsibility readily without so much as a shrug of the shoulder. You don't find all of the loggers in the west end coffee shop——just some of them, Whenever they have an oppor- tunity to stop for a breather and happen to be in the vicinity. Most of them have their coffee breaks in the woods out of a steaming thermos jug. Some are so busy with the jab at hand they don't take time out for a coffee break at all. Nevertheless, the Terrace loggers are all cut from the same die, They believe in doing a day's work and they expect - nothing more for it than a day’s pay. We could go into detail and tell you about the dangers involved in the log- ging business, We could tell you about | the miseries. We could tell you about the millions of problems — some small but most of them large. We could tell you about the almost obsolete “shoestring” Ieggers and the heartbreak woodsmen who sink their yery last penny into a piece of equip- ment only to watch the same piece of equipment sink into some wet, mucky We coufd tell you about the income tax deductions, the stumpage rates, and the cold, wet feet We could tell you how much it costs to own and operate a logging truck, ar how often a power saw has to be re- placed, But these are matters that Ter- race loggers don’t often discuss. instead they just keep right on plug- ging. They work with a determination that is second to none. They put up with the discomferts of adverse weather conditions and they still have a ready smile for passers-by, a hearty greeting for an old acquaintance, a steadiness of step that is found in no other line of work, This week we just wanted to remind you about Terrace’s foggers. We took a coffee break in the west end of town and we're glad we did. As long as we live in @ timber town we should all add tne more name to our fist of thanks, We should all thank God for the loggers—without them the rest of the list would quickly diminish!
