Tacoma, Washington, Ianuary 27, 1945-A detailed program for postwar cooperation of Pacific Northwest lumber manufacturers and the 22,,W retail lumber dealers of the nation was offered here today by Leonard I-ampert of Minneapolis, 1944 president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, to members of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in their annual meeting for election of trustees and officers.
Other scheduled speakers of the morning and luncheon program were Governor Mon C. Wallgren, WPB Lumber Director Phil Boyd, President Dean Johnson, SecretaryManager Col. W. B. Greeley, and Washington, D. C., Manager H. V. Simpson of WCLA and Carl Rishell of the Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D. C.
The program was focused on responsibilities of the lumber industry for supplying war needs and in preparing to meet postwar wants of veterans for jobs, homes and farm buildings. The lumbermen heard WCLA President Dean Johnson point out that "our industry, through ne,cessary government controls of the distribution of our production, has probably been more completely divorced from its normal retail and industrial markets than has any other major industry." Competing materials, he said, have not been so divorced. He warned that "in due course, possibly not far distant, the problems of postwar conversion will suddenly descend upon us and be our No. 1 problem."
The postwar program of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, according to Mr. Lampert, was the result of numerous national conferences. Under the heading of "Joint Postwar Planning for Lumber" the program
presented five major suggestions to lumber manufacturers: "1. Tell 'Good Lumber' story to consumers through advertising. 2. Establish a research program for scientific and improved wood construction. 3. Get back to manufacturing good lumber to yard specifications, through the proper channels of distribution. 4. Develop local building code service for dealers. 5. Cover annual retail lumber conventions with men competent to tell what is new in lumber."
The NRLDA postwar program, as outlined .by Mr. Lampert, also urges "dealer helps" from lumber manufacturers in the form of movie shorts on lumber, more and better consumer literature standardized in size for effective filing, educational programs for lumber yard personnel, and a cooperative consumer research program for dealers and manufacturers.
A major project now being sponsored by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association described by NIr. Lampert as nationwide expansion of the Home Planners' Institute program lanched in Portland 18 months ago by the West 'Coast Lumbermen's and Western Retail Lumbermen's Associations, for consumer education and promotion of War Bond sales. Others, he said, were a new advertising and publicity service for lumber dealers, a revival of "Home Magazine," which had a prewar circulation of over a half-million, and technical projects for improvement of the retail lumber business.
Mr. Lampert was introduced by W. C. Bell, managing director of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, who sounded the theme of unity within the building industry as a localized pattern for world unity and peace. Both speakers appeared at the Portland and Eugene, Oregon, meetings which supplemented the Tacoma meeting, to reduce travel and to save hotels from overload.
Dean Johnson, Portland, Ore., was reelected president. C. H. Kreienbaum, Shelton, Wash., was named vice president for Washington; G. T. Gerlinger, Portland, Ore., vice president for Oregon; Jud Greenman, Vernonia, Ore., treasurer, and Col. W. B. Greeley, Seattle, Wash., secretarymanager.

Charity, says the dd ";gJ uJgir,, at home. And so, by that same token, does Liberty. Those of us who are firmly resolved that Liberty "shall not perish from the earth," but are thinking in global terms, worrld do well to predicate that world-wide decision on an intelligent and sleepless effort to see that Liberty is thoroughly protected and preserved here at home. **
Historv teaches the severe lesson that the cause that survives a conflict is not always the most just, but very often is the one most ably'defended and stoutly maintained. "Put your trust in God," said Cromwell, "but keep your powder dry." That's preparedness. And Confucius warned that martyrdom did not prove the truth of your beliefs at allsimply proved the courage of the martyr.
t<*t<
Jean Jacques Rousseau warned all mankind that Liberty is well worth fighting for, but that ornce secured and then lost, is gone forever. When Franklin was asked what kind of a Government had been created at Philadelphia, he replied, "A Republicjf we can keep it." And the late Joe Bailey eloquently proclaimed: "If this nation ever dies, it' will die from within, and not from without; and if it ever does, there will be no resurrection morn; there will be no guardian angel to roll away the rock from our sepulchre door; there will be no Easter Morn for this Republic." *{<*
Heard a grand man the other day eloquen(ly and solemnly tell a group of thinking men that the future safety of this country is threatened with disaster, even while our boys over there are dying abroad to protect it; that unless every man who serises the great danger we face from the political and ideological trends now so evident throughout this land, gets out and does something about it, the things we are fighting for stand a big chance of being lost. The swing to the left so evident here at home is a threat that those at home must recognize and attend to, lest those who
are fighting abroad. lose their birthright while they are making their sacrifices. * * *
Here is a beautiful little verse, written by M. C. Bartlett, that approaches the subject of mother influence most delicately and impressively: Would you know the baby's skies?
Baby's skies are mother's eyes.
Mother's eyes and smile together, Make the baby's pleasant weather.
Mother, keep your eyes from tears, Keep your heart from foolish fears, Keep your lips from dull complaining, Lest the baby think it's raining.
Beautiful, indeed. o"u-or-anJ way, dear reader, do you know where that very useful and meaningful word "beautiful" came from? It will surprise you. It came into being and was used for the first time in Tyndale's Translation of the Bible, which was first published in 1535. Before that, there was no such word, believe it or not. At least, so I read. Wonder how they ever talked without it before that time?
I'm going to take a little extra space here and tell you about the biggest belly laugh I've had lately. A warm friend of mine who has been called East to a position of huge importance, was replying to a lot of toasts at a testimonial dinner given him. His name is John Suman. This is what he said that tickled me so: "All my friends are demanding to know why I am leaving here, and going East to live. In reply to all of them, I simply quote the 42nd Chapter, First Verse of Deuteronomy. f mentioned this to my preacher, and he said there weren't 42 Chapters in Deuteronomy. I said that shows how ignorant you are. You're quoting from the King James Bible, but I'm quoting from the original Hebrew and ignoring King James. Before the King James gang got hold of the Bible and threw out a lot of the best stuff in it, there was a 42nd Chapter of Deuteronomy. And it is from the original Hebrew I am quoting ! The First Verse of the 42nd Chapter of Deuteronomy says this: 'IF YOU GOTTA GO, YOU GOTTA GO.' And that's all there is to it."
Which brings up another thought, this reference to the Bible does. The Ten Commandments. Moses was but a few moments in the burning bush, and he brought forth the Ten Commandments, on which civilization has been

But Moses had learned most of the laws contained in the Ten Co.mmandments when yet a boy, from the Code of Hammurabi, which had been in existence and kriown to all scholars for hundreds of years before Moses was born. There werc 42 commandments in Hammurabi's Code. Like Moses, old Ham had announced, centuries before as did Moses centuries later, that HIS Code was handed him ready made by the Lord. I'm not questioning anyone's veracity, you understand. Just quoting from the record.

Thinking men all agree that since the beginning of religious thought in this world, men have always created their own particular gods in their own likenesses. Savage men had savage gods, etc. The great thinker,. Spinoza, commenting on that fact, remarked that if a triangle were to describe God, it would describe Him as triangular, if a circle tried it He would be described as circular. etc. Get the idea? ***
A remark I often hear-you probably do also-is, "wonder what Will Rogers would say if he were here today to witness our domestic confusion?" I don't know what he WOULD say, but I know one thing he DID say that would seem to cover a very controversial subject now before the Congress. He said: "If a man hasn't made a success of his own business we don't want him practicing on ours." That seems to cover the Henry Wallace case pretty thoroughly. Henry practiced on a much smaller part of our business a few years back, and food and clothing have been scarce and high ever since.
One of the most momentous events in the history of the human race took place with the exact suddenness of an explosion on January tenth, 1901, when the Spindle Top oil well came in at Beaumont, Texas. There are plenty of people who do not realize that the oil industry came to life on that day at that time, and that the world we see around us is the direct result o{ that event. Before that the only petroleum known came in dribbles from the Drake well in Pennsylvania. It was called rock oil, and was used for oil lamps, and to some extent in medicine. With Spindle Top, (the first gusher came in at the rate of 70,000 barrels a day), a new world was born. Look about you and see the results. Everything that operates from petroleum products, started at Spindle Top. Every g€s or oil motor, every Jeep, every tank, every ship, every train, every plane-yes, every 'bomb that bursts-started at Spindle Top. What an event !
And I want you to know that a lumberman of that day had muclr to do with the discovery. The man whose vision finally resulted in Spindle Top was Patillo Higgins who
had been trying for fifteen years before that to get the money and land to drill for oil. People thought him a crackpot, and refused him aid. Then George W. Carroll, a Beaumont lumber manufacturer, put up the money to start the venture. The rest is history. Mr. Carroll has been dead for many years. But.his folO"*live after'him.
The times are so filled with events of overwhelming importance that some that would otherwise shake the world awaken less than the enthusiasm they deserve. But when history is written by men looking backwards, perspectives now distorted will be adjusted. With the Russians driving to the heart of Germany at the same time, the return of MacArthur to Luzon had to.share public interest with gigantic news. Yet what a spectacular, romantic, amazing thing that was ! The man who fled frorn Manila for his life and took refuge in Australia, told the world that he "would be back." And when he returned, a page was written in American histqry that will never be overshadowed by any other military event. He had accomplished military feats that make Hannibal's campaign over the Alps against Rome, look like child's play by comparison; he had achieved successes that the world will talk about in hushed admiration from. this time on.
A few days before he marched with his men into reconquered Manila, he was 65 years old. He did not celebrhte the event, but in the days to come the world will do so for him. His return to the Philippines as a conquering hero was one of the most inspiring events ever painted by the Great Artist upon the canvas of human events. Watch the hero-worshipping American people place a halo of everlasting glory around the head of Douglas MacArthur. He richly deserves it. While I yield to no man in my enthusiastic admiration for our other magnificent American officers who lead our forces around the world-I think it is the greatest group of fighting leaders the world has produced-in my judgment the name of Douglas MacArthur, like that of Abou Ben Adhem, leads all the rest. I consider him far and away the greatest living American, judged from every possible standpoint, measured in every conceivable way. The man who said he would go back to the Philippines, and kept his word in spite of insurmountable difficulties, is already immortal.

If you have not received a calendar, you can get one by writing to the Moore Dry Kiln Company, North Portland, Ore.

JAMES FORRESTAL Secretary of tbe NauySection 3A5.nI Order L-335 is hereby amended in the following respect:
Amend paragraph (t) to read as follows:
(t) Uncertified orders. A sawmill cannot deliver lumber to either a consumer or distributor or withdraw lumber for his own use from his sawmill stock on uncertifi.ed orders unless permitted by a direction or by a letter from the War Production Board. Requests for authority for a sawmill to deliver lumber on uncertified orders shall be made by mailing a letter to the field office of the War Production Board for the district in which the sawmill is located except that sawmills located in the States of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and South Dakota must mail their requests to the Western Administrator, Order L-335, \Mar Production Board, 1405 S. W. Alder, Portland 5, Oregon. The letter requesting authority to deliver any part of a sawmill's production on uncertified orders must refer to Order L-335 paragraph (t) and explain fully (1) the average monthly production of the sawmill in board feet and the percentage or amount of lumber in the species, grades, and sizes that the sawmill wishes to deliver on uncertified orders ; (2) what effort has been made to get certified orders for this lumber; (3) the effect on,the sawmill if the request is denied; and (4) any other information which would justify the request. If the lumber is of a type controlled by either Direction 2a or Direction 6 (which require 2 certificates on orders) then the sawmill must also state whether it is requesting permission to deliver without getting one or both of the certificates and if only one specify which. Authority for a sawmill to deliver lumber on an uncertified order will only be given in cases (1) where a distributor will take the lumber on an uncertified order and hold it for redelivery on certified orders; or (2) where the sawmill can make a positive showing that, even with the help of the War Production Board, it cannot get certified orders as required by Order L-335, Direction 2a, ot Direction 6 to Order L-335. Sawmills that make a positive showing that they cannot get certified orders as required by an applicable direction but fail to show that they are unable to get orders bearing one of the certificates described in paragraph (q) of Order L-335 may be released only from the restrictions of the applicable direction.
Announcement has been made-by W. H. Lowe, president of The Paraffine Companies, Inc., of the appointment of James E. Holbrook as general sales manager, succeeding Richard Hilliard, resigned.

"Then can you tell me where I can find Roughhouse Joe?"
"I'm Roughhouse Joe."
"Well, they told me Hardtack Pete lived within gunshot of you."

I arn drifting in my dream boat down the stream of long ago, Underneath the silver willow's peaceful shade, And my heart with expectation and amazement is aglow, As' I move toward Killnemara-and a maid.
Oh, her smile is like the sunshine on the ripples of the bay, .And' her eyes are pools of starlight in the night, And there's something in the sight of her that steals my heart away, And that fills my weary bosom with delight.
She'll be waiting near the shallows where the water lilies grow. With the fragrance of the springtime in her hair, And her simple smock of linen will be whiter than the snow.
And her song will sweeten all the evening air.
I am drifting in my dreamboat, but the night is almost gone, And the stars are disappearing in the blue,
And my heart must soon awaken to the starkness of the dawn,
And the phantom dreams that never quite come true.

The above was the oft-expressed r,r'ish heard here and there and everywhere among ths throng gathered at the main office plaza to r.','itness the presentation of the "E" to Union Lumber Company.
"C. R." of course refers to the late Charles R. Johnson, father of Otis R. Johnson, present president, who founded IJnion Lumber Company over 60 years ago when Fort Bragg, now a thriving community of 5,000, was nothing but a wilderness.
Endeared to the entire community through his long association with the company, "C. R." was present, however, in spirit in the shape of the Charles R. Johnson Memorial, huge Redwood 1og which formed the backdrop for the setting in which the "E" ceremony took place. Cut from a giant Redwood 2I f.eet in diameter, the log was dedicated a year ago at a ceremony reminiscent of the current occasion.
Having channeled production of Union Lumber Company's Noyo Redwood into the service of the nation during two previous wars, "C. R." would undoubtedly have taken greater pride than anyone present in witnessing the recognition of the company he founded for its outstanding contribution to the objectives of the nation in the present struggle.
In a colorful setting spiced by the salty tang of an oceanborne squall which failed to dampen the spirits of the 3,000 enthusiastic onlookers, Vice Admiral John W. Greenslade, Resources Coordinator, Western Sea Frontier, presented the Army-Navy "E" Award to Union Lumber Company
February 4 for "outstanding achievement in war production of Redwood."
Promptly at 3 p.m. the Mare Island Navy Band opened the colorful ceremony with the "Star Spangled Banner" and the Raising of the Colors. Chairman of the Day James L. Snell, superintendent of Fort Bragg schools, then introduced Admiral Greenslade.
In making the presentation Admiral Greenslade paid tribute to the resilience of American industry, comparing its spirit to that of the military forces which, like a game prize-fighter, climbed back off the floor after the stunning blows of Pearl Harbor and Bataan and reversed the situation. Calling attention to the fact that stiff resistance is yet to be encountered in the Pacific, he addressed the workers as follows :
"Thus you see it is as important as ever to maintain or increase our productive efficiency if we are to bring Japan to her knees by 1946. That is why it gives me special pleasure to award you today the Army-Navy'E', the highest award of its kind given in this country. Judging by your record, it is well merited indeed.
"As you know, the Redwood timber which you process and convert into lumber here, has done yeoman duty for our fighting fleet. This critical material is used as the core of the laminated decking for aircraft carriers, and at advanced bases is urgently needed because of its ability to resist rot and decay.

(Continued from Page 20)
"You men and women of the Union Lumber Company, despite drastic shortages of experienced manpower, have exceeded scheduled production with adjustments unique to the lumber industry. Typical of your ingenuity was your utilization of an idle Diesel Yarder to haul loaded logging trucks out of a canyon with a cable up a twenty-five per cent grade, thus conserving manpower which would otherwise have been required to build a long road for loaded trucks.
"This anticipation of the great supply of Redwood lumber which the war effort would need and, more important, the fulfillment of those needs, is a feat which has made you worthy of the high honor that is yours today.
'fYour notable performances indicate that you are emulating the prodigious feats of the mythical hero of lumbermen-that collectively, you have become the embodiment of Paul Bunyan.
"Each and every one of you has earned the right to feel an honest thrill of pride in your own individual contribution to our coming Victory ! On behalf of the Navy I congratulate you."
Otis R. Johnson, president of Union'Lumber, in accepting the "E" Pennant for the company, analyzed the various factors that had contributed to the outstanding production record that had merited the "E", stressing particularly the fine spirit of cooperation that exists between employees and management. He read the following personal.message from Admiral Chester W. Nimitz: "Every step in our advance across the Pacific has called for huge quantities of lumber and timber for the use of the fleet and for the construction of vital bases and installations. The response with which you have met our needs has been excellent and our forces in the Pacific are counting on your continued support."
Presentation of the "8" pins to employees was made by Colonel K. M. Moore, District Engineer, San Francisco Engineering District. Highlighting the program were the brief but pungent remarks by Tom Johnson, head sawyer and oldest employee in point of service, who in accepting the pins for the employees said: "I guess it is true I am the oldest employee of the Union Lumber Company in service. I went to work for this company in 1896 and found it a pretty damn good place to work and I stayed here and am
here yet. That's pretty near fifty years ago. I am proud of the honor of representing the emplovees of the Union Lumber Company and receiving these 'E' pins. I know the boys have all been very faithful with the lJnion Lumber Company, have worked hard and stuck to the wheel and did a good job. They will all appreciate the pins and be proud of the award."
The American Legion Color Guard consisted of veteran employees of lJnion Lumber Company who were likewise veterans of World War I. The program closed rvith the singing of "America" by the audience, after which refreshments were served to all those attending.
Among the members of the Armed Forces attending, in addition to those on the program, were Brigadier General Ralph E. Haines, Captain W. F. Hine, SC-USN, Lt. Commander Henry N. Anderson, USNR, Commander Or,ven Atkinson, USNR, Major Raleigh Chinn, Lt. Frederick H. Smith, USNR, Captain Carvel D. Brown, Lt. Colonel Harold E. George, CE, Major C. E. Magnuson, USMC, and wiblor Charles R. Johnson, grandson of the founder, Lt. .eharles L. Morey, USNR and Captain Glenn A. Burke, the last three being empioyees on leave. Charles Purcell attended as personal representative of Governor Earl Warren.

President Lawrence Ottinger, president of the United States Plywood Corporation, in his annual review and forecast of the situation said:
"The requirements of the Armed Forces for Douglas Fir plywood continue unabated and this particular kind of plywood is on allocation by the War Production Board and can only be obtained if released by them. Manpower shortage, both in the woods and in the plants, has resulted in curtailed production with no relief in sight.
"So many new uses have been found for this product that even if the mills were able to produce at capacity, they would not be able to fill requirements. The demand for the hardwood and technical plywoods, especially those bonded with synthetic resin and those faced with resin impregnated paper and metals, is large, especially in the heavier thicknesses.

"There has been a sharp curtailment in production of aircraft plywood due to the partial completion of government projects requiring that material.
"The postwar demand for plywood will in all probability continue to exceed production for many years to come since it will be required for housing projects all over the world,. for the rehabilitation of stores and other buildings, as well as for wide industrial use in its normal fields."
