The program provided an academic course for college credit, a work experience in conservation, and an experi ence in college living. Stu dents stayed in the dormitor ies and studied with the regular Berea College faculty. And it was fun. There were field trips to the Cincinnati Zoo, the Cave Run State Fish Hatchery, and the Kentucky Wildlife Center in Frankfort, where quail, wild turkeys, and pheasants are Karen Husking HI * Carolyn McKinney t , r Miller And Garnett United In Marriage The marriage of Miss Ina Gail Miller to James Garnett Jr. took place at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 19, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Ernest Miller.

Word got around, of course, that “some fella’s building a log cabin out Hartland way” and inevitably there were onlookers. So much so, that before the cabin was finished, Jesse had orders for six more. Since these early days of the inception of Real Log Homes, changes and pro gressive attitudes have been the key to growth and success. Modern production methods are continually in stituted at the mill to keep production in line with the demand. But when all is said and done, what remains is a log cabin that an average man, handy with hio hands and forest management research area, a wildlife sanctuary, virgin timber, and the site for a power-generating, daita and lake. There was hard work; Students combed the Berei campus, learning to identify every tree and shrub. In their classes, they studied every thing from edible wild plants to noxious weeds to soils. Students at Berea pay no tuition but all work at least ten hours a week. The wildlife biology group was no excep tion. They did conservation work in the Berea College forest. They bridged a ravine, and built steps up to the bridge. They completely relo cated 1,000 feet of trail on the steepest part of East Pinna cle. .The old trail had become badly eroded. • Two other intensive pro, grams for high school seniors were held this summer on the Berea College campus, in industrial technology and astronomy. ter and tjie desire to be of service to one’s fellow men are also considered of basic importance in the selection of the recipients.

That first model that Jesse built in Hartland Four Cor ners was swamped by more than a thousand visitors during two days of open house in June of 1964. And the log homes literally sell them selves, especially to enthu siastic nature-lovers. Several models are open for inspection in Green Mountain Estates.
