E Youngman Recalls a Lifetime of Curtis Farm Ties
In a reflective piece, E Youngman recounts how events from 1921 to the 1930s linked his career to the Curtis farm in Durham County. From cutting logs at five cents apiece to selling sawlogs by sealed tender, his long association with the Curtis property and the Ganaraska Authority shapes a life of chance-driven work and forestry milestones. A separate notice describes a stand improvement program near Galway Township producing 170,000 cubic feet of pine and 10,000 of poplar logs offered by sealed tender with bids due January 4.
