Western Lumber Advance Approved Dedication of Statue

Producers of larch-fir, Inland red cedar and incense cedar lumber in California, Nevada, Arizona and nine other Western states have been authorized bv the Office of Price Administration to adt $3 per 1000 board feet to basis maximum prices on 12 specific grades of this material.

At the same time, producers of Western Pine lumber were assured of the continuation of the $3 already granted on the same 12 grades of ponderosa, Idaho, sugar, and lodgepole pine, white fir and spruce. This addition is designed to compensate producers for higher production costs resulting from wage increases approved by the War Labor Board.

The WPB recently directed the principal producers of larch-fir to ship their product to the agricultural areas where the lumber shortage is acute. In recognition for the need fo peak productionu the OPA has allowed the $3 addition to be made at this time so that no production will be lost because of the wage increase.

To make sure that WPB's order might be revoked, and cause the lumber mills to face price cuts, led to the OPA ruling that the $3 incrase should be allowed to stand despite any actions of any outside agency.

This magnificent seven-foot wood carved figure of the Christ is the work of the internationally known sculptor, Nishan Toor. It was commissioned as a m'emorial to Frederick William Kellogg, publisher, and presented to Christ Church, Unity, by his widow, Florence Scripps Kellogg.

The wood used in the figure is California sugar pine; that of the base, California walnut. The original suggestion for the composition was found in the tiny statue carved by Alois Lang, portrayer of the Christus in the Passion Play of Oberammergau, and obtained from him in 1943 by Dr. Wilson, founder of Christ Church, Unity.
