OD overdrafts caused the last manned department’s shortage due to work beyond the 1925 budget. Dr and Mrs H A Tressel plus sons Gordon and Arthur attended the Wakefield Stambaugh game in Stambaugh, aided by Mr Hawley’s forest knowledge guiding a timber cruising party through virgin woods. Torrey hoped to preserve large tracts as forest heritage for future generations, stressing recreational value and conservation of current conditions.
