...championship made the old loggers look like sissies; and 28-year-old Jimmy Herron, boom man for a Longview (Wash.) lumber mill, who was crowned "King of the White Water" at the last championship meet in 1938. Champion Herron, who once doubled for Cinemactor El Brendel in the log-driving scenes in God's Country and the Woman, had a tough time defending his crown.

Mr. McGee was a very complicated and very hard thug, whose cigars were of the definite variety. Both were Mr. Brendel. Both became involved with Miss Dorsay, calling her "Mees Yulee", or "that skoit" antiphonally.
