OREGON. For city slickers who think they' ve seen everything: a logger jubilee on the banks of the Flushing River. Husky lumberjacks like "Big Bad John" Miller saw and chop through giant timber in jig time, logrollers joust each other into the amber waters, and a death-defying tree-topper climbs a Douglas fir to do the Charleston 110 ft. up-without...

...wisps of smoke coming from a heated glass shed; the prisoners primp for a ghastly fitness inspection in which signs of illness, or too many grey hairs, can spell the difference between life and death; or they stand in a snowy field singing and shivering around a great barren tree while the commandant wishes all a merry Christmas...
