Alumni Bulletin Was Issued ALUMNI BULLETIN INTERMOUNTAIN DISTRICT In his last official message written in the Service Bale tin, Col. Greeley says he will always use *wen in speaking of the porest Service. You who have also left the Service still have a sense of proprietorship in the organization, either through contacts with the Forest Service personnel or on account of your familiarity with and approval of the organizationh attempts to contribute to the coGuni- ties 1 welfare, The Service, on thetother hand, will always feel that each ex-officer is still a part of it. In fact, history has shorn that men leaving the organization have been and still are a mighty potent force back of the whole conservation movement. pinchot, Graves and now Greeley, while out of the Service technically, are staunch sup- porters of what it stands for and are still imbued with its idealism. You, too, while technically in other Vocations, still possess those same ideals which induced you to enter the Service. The messages in the following pages represent our wishes to keep in touch with you; to stimulate your desire and. we believe, 1 your right, to say nwes when speaking of the Forest Service. R*H*R* ACCOUNTS During the past year the task of figuring the interest up to June 30, 1927 03 all retirement deductions for all employees was imposed on the fiscal organization. It is planned to k~ ep this mork up to date in the future. Jhst how it will be handled has not yet been been definitely decided. yl i bother job which has been planned for the last four or five . i' years was canpleted Curing July, 1927. This vas the much-talked-of and long-waited FA Section of the D-4 Randbook. This makes it easy for the Fiscal Bgent, sir,zz nm when there is anything wrong with an ex- pense account or an7 o31:r voucher, all that is necessary is to send along a little f or:^, check what is wrong and refer them to page so- and-so of the Haildbook. The District Fiscal Agont and two of his assistants are still continuing to make auCiLs and inspections of supervisors~officbs. Thirteen offices h~vebeen visited duri~gthe present fiscal yoar. The tendency is more and more toward hel2ful instructions and keeping the field clerks and administrative men posted as to what they can and c&mot do f iscallq. As repoi ted last year the number of suspensions being made by the C~mptrollerGeneral in the accounts of the District Fiscal Agent hdve been greatly reduced. Very little troub1.e is being experienced at the present time with the General Accounting office. This is certainly gratifying to everybody concerned. Donfit misunderstand the above remarks about the comptroller General, since it seems that as time goes on more and more decisions are being regularly ground out by that officer and his assistants* Everybody is becoming accustomed to this, however, and it does not ' bother them as it did several years ago. FOREST MANAGEMEW The timber business in District 4 is due for a decided increase during the next few years. ma are now advertising the Horse Creek tie chance on the Wyoming Forest and the gnithts Fork tie chance on the Wasatch. The first is for 250,000 ties a year for five years and the second is for 150,000 ties a year for 10 years, mere is every reason to believe that both chances will sell and the cutting operations will start by midsummer. The Boise-Payette Lumber Company has applied for a block of some 25,000,000 feet, mostly yellow pine, on the Eioise Forest and this is being appraised for advertisement. Other than these three sales our business is just about as usual,. Interest in the studies phase of Forest Management is definitely on the up grade. We now have some thing over 75 pe manent thinning and flgrowth after cutting" plots, as well as a good number of plots to study the effect of grazing on reproduction. The work is being done very largely by the rangers. We are making progress in our timber survey work. me payette Lakes Working Circle on the Idaho Forest and the South Fork of payette circle on the Boise and payette ~orestswere completed last year. Work on the Island Park circle on the Targhee, south Fork of Boise on the Boise and Sawtooth, 2nd Go~ncilcircle on the Yeiser will b- cofitin&d this year. A lot of area ic, being covered bj. the regulsr force on the forests. The V7ei.ser Forest has completely recruised Mann Creek, the Cache has covered a lot of area, the Lemhi has cruised Vet Creek, Methodist Creek and Morse Creek and so on dom the line. Looks like all of the jobs which csed to be done by the Forest Assistant are being absorbed by the ranger force. One- of oar major p~cblcnsnow is insect control. Perhaps we used to have just a hqd b~gr~ndition but didnft see it or maybe we thought control impossikls , XOW we are going right after evety in-. festation as soon as if: 13 discovered, Te have control projects going on the Cache, Ashley an6 Targhee this spring. There are about 4,000 trees to cut and bcrn on he Targhee job alone. There is a big in- festation in lodgeple 'pire on the Challio, Salmon, payette and f daho back country thaC is beyond the possi5ility of control, We can only hope that natural causes vil.1 reduce t3c bugs before the bigger , part of our lodgepole pine on these forests is k~iled. Five of our Assistant Supervisors are nom in Dis trict 1 on an insect control detail on the Beaverhead Fo!?est. That District has about 500 men working trying to cut off tke southward spread of a big infestation in lodgepole pine. The day is about here when we will consider a small insect infestation about like we consider a small fire. The personnel in Forest Management continues to change. Lyle Watts, who has been the second man in for two years, quit on I~~JT31 and his place was taken by Supervisor Sanford of the Caribou. .Watts is trying his hand at teaching forestry at the Utah Agricultural College at Logan, Utah, We get a new crop of Junior Porbsters ,every year and ahove them into ranger districts as fast as they are ready and can be spared. Six Junior Foresters took over ranger die tricts this spring. You will recall the old type ranger meeting where we all met in some town and talked about the Manual, We still have ranger meetings but we hold them in the woods, Ve talk some but the big features are marking timber, scaling logs, s ilvicultural treatment of the stands, etc. in Forest Management meetings and similar field work in other meetings. Ve have covered the entire district with this type of meeting and this year the rangers on six forests will attend their second field ranger meeting in Forest Management. The plan is to get around the circle once in four years. The yesterdays are gone and with them xany of the problems of the times, Experiences and cancrete examples have impressed the J'une 11 applicant with. the fact that in many cases his dreams of ~uccessfulfanning within the forests were nightmares.

  • VL6979 Annual Report 2-9-6.Indd
    VERMONT LOTTERY COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2005 RESPONSIBLE GAMING ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2005 Profits benefit the Vermont Education Fund. 1 www.vtlottery.com It is our pleasure to present the annual report on the accomplishments of the Vermont Lottery Commission (Lottery) for fiscal year (FY) 2005. With a slight increase in sales (another record sales year), and a reduction in operating expenses, the Lottery was able to increase the FY 2005 contribution to the state’s Education Fund by 4%, for a total of $20.4 million. When the General Assembly established the Lottery in 1977, after a statewide referendum, the Lottery’s stated purpose in the enabling legislation was to “produce the maximum amount of net revenue conso- nant with the dignity of the state and the general welfare of the people.” Thus the balance between providing funds for the state’s Education Fund and a strong “Play Responsibly” message to the public. Over the last 27 years, the Vermont Lottery has produced over $1.2 billion in overall sales. From those sales, approximately $744 million has been returned to players in the form of prizes, over $67 million has been paid to local lottery agents in the form of commissions, and over $340 million went to the state’s General or Education Funds. In FY 2005, the Lottery moved from its South Barre location (since 1985), and into a new leased space on the Barre-Montpelier Road. This refurbished space in the “old Harry’s” building allowed for the combining of existing warehouse spaces and the storage of more Instant tickets on-site.

  • "On an Equal Footing with Men?" Women and Work at the BBC, 1923
    “ON AN EQUAL FOOTING WITH MEN?” WOMEN AND WORK AT THE BBC, 1923-1939 Catherine Murphy Goldsmiths College University of London PhD 2011 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Catherine Murphy, hereby declare that all the material contained in this thesis is my own work. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of women’s employment in the BBC during the 1920s and 1930s and poses the questions – what was the BBC like as a place for women to work, and how equal were they? While there has been wide research into a variety of aspects of the BBC during the inter-war years, to date there has been only cursory consideration of the role of women in the Company/Corporation. The BBC is a particularly significant organisation to study because women worked at all levels, apart from the very top; as charwomen and kitchen hands; as secretaries and clerical staff; as drama producers, advertising representatives and Children’s Hour Organisers. Prior to the Second World War, three women, Hilda Matheson, Mary Somerville and Isa Benzie, attained Director status. The BBC viewed itself as a progressive employer, one that supported equal promotion prospects and equal pay. However, understated sexual discrimination was commonplace and in 1932, a Marriage Bar was introduced. The practice of marriage bars was widespread in the inter-war years yet the BBC was never fully committed to its bar and ‘exceptional’ married women and women judged to be useful to the Corporation continued to be employed and retained. This study considers the many different experiences of women and work at the BBC: married and single, waged and the salaried, young and old; graduate and non-graduate.

My colleague Tom and I were returning from visiting some clients. It was obvious to us that their staff desperately needed a clear guide to the company’s approach to written communication. The trouble was, we knew the clients would never produce one. It was simply too big a task for them, just as it was for all the other clients we’d floated the idea with. We decided we’d better produce our own universal guide. And so The Write Stuff was born. Back then, we never dreamt just how popular it would become. It’s now in its fifth reprint and over 50,000 copies are in use around the globe.
