Timber Cutting Seasons According To Campbell
Campbell explains winter is best for timber cutting as wood will season slower yet crack less in heat, insects are less active, and decay risk is reduced. He advises converting logs to lumber before storage and keeping cut timber off the ground to prevent damage. If stored improperly, weather arrives with higher decay risk.

A survey by the Association of Ca sualty quotes a safety official who rejects the idea that modern cars and highways ensure safety at high speeds. He favors statutory speed limits, urges speed control advertising to curb rapid driving, and notes doubts about the public's ability to judge safe speeds. He suggests 80 mph on best highways, 50 at night, and 60 to 65 on other roads, but personally finds 60 fast regardless. He questions whether any speed is truly safe and criticizes reliance on mere driver judgment.
