He Was Blase

The two men came walking down the street, and it was evident to even the most casual observer that they were very, very drunk They were wobbly on their pins, and weaving as they walked. They studied the house numbers as they went along, and fuially found the one they were seeking. They walked in the front gate and up to the house. At the foot of the steps one of them stopped, and stood there, swaying in drunken fashion. The other one went on up the steps to the door, and there he stopped. Several minutes passed. Finally the one at the bottom of the steps said to the one at the door:

"Did you ring the bell?"

This amendment transfers the pricing of this species of logs from Maximum Price Regulation 3€, and places them with other West Coast Logs under Revised Maxirnum Price Regulation 161 (West C,oast Logs).

For white pine logs produced in the Puget Sound, Willa' pa Bay-Grays Harbor, and Columbia River districts, the new ceilings are $34 per 1,000 feet, log scale, for No. I logs; $25 for No. 2 logs, and $19 for No. 3 and camp run logs.

For white pine logs produced in the Southern Oregorr' Tillamook District, the new maximums are $2 per 1,000 feet below those for the other three districts, the customary industry differential.

The new ceilings were established by OPA after a study of petitions by log buyers. The grades used in the establishment of ceilings have been in general use in the area.
