Misht Be at That

The teacher in the colored school had explained clearly and painstakingly the fact that heat causes expansion, and cold causes contraction. Finally, when she had made it as clear as possible, she asked:

"Now can any of you scholars give me an example of heat expanding and cold contracting?"

Larger \(/est Coast Lumber Export to Far East and South America Possible

Washington, January 12, l94A-A report of the United States Tariff Commission under the title-"The European War and U. S. Impolfs"-dssla1es American exports of fir and hemlock, which declined 250 million board feet in 1938 from the 1937 figure, may be increased, if Canadian exports are restricted as a result of the European War. This increase, it says, can be expected particularly by the fir and hemlock manufacturers from the Far East and South America.

Commenting on imported spruce, the report declares that: "'A sharp restriction of imports (which is unlikely since the bulk comes from Canada) would result in only a temporary dislocation of our lumber trade, inasmuch as many species, particularly in construction grades, are interchangeable and a shortage in spruce could quickly be corrected by the substitution of Douglas fir, Southern pine and hemlock. Domestic sawmills for the most part are operating at no more than 60 per cent of capacity and production of softwoods can be expanded rather easily.

"Production of fir and hemlock," states the report, "which now supplies over 95 per cent of the domestic consumption, could be expanded rapidly to supply all of the domestic requirements, if imports from Canada were restricted.

"Any reduction in United States imports of white pine can be readily taken care of by increased sawing of other softwoods which are interchangeable in use with white pine. In the case of thick lumber for pattern purposes, much Idaho white pine and California sugar pine and redwood is available and the supply of such lumber can easily be i.ncreased."

The report states that the quantities of Canadian hardwoods imported can be replaced by domestic wood of the same or other species and that, in the case of red cedar shingles, less than 50 per cent of the capacity of the mills in Washington and Orego.n is being utilized and if "imports were shut off completely, the capacity of the domestic shingle mills would be sufficient to meet the volume demanded in any recent year." Statistical information on imports, exports and production is also contained in the report.
