Millions of Wooden Troughs Offered For Sale by Government Probably the greatest wooden trough sale ever heard of in the history of mankind is being conducted at the present time by the U. S. Government. Just a small matter of two million four hundred thousand wooden troughs, 29 inches long, are piled up on the Southern Pacific Railroad siding at Benicia, California. They are made from Ponderosa and Sugar Pine, and it took 4,774,6W feet of lumber to construct them. They are offered for sale to the highest bidders by the United States Treasury, Procurement Division, Office of Surplus Property, 30 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco. California. A circular has been issued by this department offering these wooden troughs for sale, describing them, and stating the terms under which they will be sold. What the troughs were made for in the first place, is not stated. Whether or not they were ever used, is likewise not stated. All this huge amount of lumber was shipped to a manufacturing plant in New York, where these 2,4@,000 troughs were manufactured. and now this lumber in its manufactured form is back in California where it came {rom, and being offered for sale in the shape of troughs. Figuring 25,000 feet to a car, this huge amount of lumber required 190 cars to take it East, and more than that number to bring it back West in the shape of troughs. This appears to be one of the biggest, most unusual, and most interesting transactions that the Surplus Property units of our Government have had to handle : at least from a lumber standpoint.

Buy Plant at Tacoma Tacoma Lumber Fabricating Company is the name chosen by the group that recently purchased the Henry Mill & Lumber Company pl'ant in Old Tacoma, Wash. One of the city's principal sawmills for many years, it was
burned in June, t942, and was immediately converted to a prefabricating, remilling and framing plant, its production mainly went into construction for the war effort. fn November, 1944, the company went into receivership, and under the direction of a receiver, continued to operate the plant. The Tacoma Lumber Fabricating Company under the over-all management of G. E. Karlen, S. L. Pearne and V. C. Monahan, all well known in the wood products industry in Tacoma, took the plant over from the receiver on March 1. It is equipped to handle large scale prefabricating structures, and has both rail and water shipping facilities. One of the first major contracts the new firm will undertake will be the preframing of portable warehouses for a government agency. Charles B. Hurley, Jr., formerly rvith the Pacific National Lumber Company, will be plant manager, and J. B. Coons, who was with Henry Mill & Timber Company, rvill be plant superintendent.
New Power-Fed Rip Saw Speed, accuracy and safety are stressed in the nerv Belsalv Power-Feed Rip Saw that is distributed by the Equip-
ment Service Engineering Company of Kansas City, Mo. Lumbermen are particularly interested in the Belsaw Rip Saw because of the saving of time and labor made possible. The Belsarv can rip up to 80 feet per minute. In fact, one man can do as much work in an hour on this machine as can be done in a whole day on a manually operated machine.
The Belsaw eliminates the back breaking work of pushing the board through the saw. The operator just feeds reaches for the piece of lumber in and forgets it another piece to follow right behind the one already going through.
Thc positive guide insures accuracy, even on crooked
boards. It keeps the blade cutting the same distance from the edge of the board as when it originally started through.

Hold \(/ar Confer ence Meeting The Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association held a one-day War Conference Meeting at the St. Francis Hotel, San Francisco, on February 13. Meeting with the dealers to discuss the various problems rvhich have been coming up from time to time on the Pacific Coast were: Lieut. T .R. Sheldon, Material Division, Office of Procurement and Material, Navy Department, Washington, D. C., representing Commander Kellogg; Malcolm J. McDonald, Lumber Distribution Section, OPA, Washington, D. C.; Daniel R. Forbes, attorney, National Wholesale Distributing Yards Association, Washington, D. C.; and Virgil J. Leach, chairman of the Industry Advisory Committee, Detroit, Mich. I-ieut. Sheldon discussed Directive 6 to Order L-335, particularly on the subject o{ "Starting Yard Inventories." The dealers requested him to carry back to Commander Kellogg the urgent need of a regional Navy liaison officer, betr,'r'een the WPB and the wholesale distributing yards, to be appointed for the Los Angeles area, who would also serve San Diego, one for Portland for the Northern division, but none for the San Francisco area as Lieut. Scott is nb'rv serving there. After Lieut. Sheldon's talk, the following resolution was unanimously passed : "Resolved, that in order to implement and secure results desired by Direction 6 to Order L-335, all restricted species of hardwood lumber be sold only upon authorization from the War Production Board, indicated by special order or authorization number." Malcolm J. McDonald discussed hardwood ceiling prices regarding MPR-97 and RMPR-467. The new officers elected were: B. E. Bryan, president; Dallas Donnan, vice president, and James Davis, secretarytreasurer; directors-Norman Sawers, Leonard Hall, Bruce Mclean, Ted Higgins, Clarence Bohnhoff, Robert J.

I drink to your health, when I'm with you; I drink to your health, when I'm alone; I drink to your health so doggoned much I've d--n near ruined y "_*". My vote for the best wise crack of the month goes to the colurnnist George Dixon. Discussing the new twelve o'clock curfew rule, he said he didn't see why anyone should care-any man ihat couldn't get drunk by twelve o'clock, just wasn't trying. *'F*
Not long ago f reported in this column that on the Mexican side of the border you can buy American cigarettes of the popular brands as long as your money holds out. Several of my readers were inclined to doubt the condition to be general. The Dallas (Texas) News recently sent a reporter down there to see. In several articles on what he saw in Mexico, he reported that you can buy all of the popular brand American cigarettes you can raise the money to pay for, no limit, no restrictions. And furthermore, most of those he saw were marked "military." ,k**
Newspaper correspondents reporting the big Inter-American conference in Mexico City, wrote with surprise that most anything of American origin that is scarce on this side of the border can be had in unlimited quantity on that side, if you have the money. * I never tire of reading the famous saying of early pioneer Americans who trekked West in the early eighties, which said: "The cowards never started: the weak never arrived."
***
fn case you have garnered the notion that the only real number-one name-caller in official Washington today is Harold ("The ax man") Ickes, you can change that by reading what Senatol McKellar, Democrat of Tennessee, said on the floor of the Senate about someone: "I would say he is a cross between a jumping boxtail Jerboa and a drunken alley cat with a large admixture of a mangy fleabitten dog thrown in. If he should die and app€ar at the gates of llades, I am quite sure that the Devil would not admit him if he knew about his foul, filthy, lousy, lying and corrupt record;" etc. You know, I get the idea that the Senator doesn't admire the fellow. whoever he was. Sam Houston had girlr.l ,J"rr"* an adversary to bits with words, but he"used them sparingly and skillfully,
making dynamite out of them. When he described one of
his enemies as having "all the characteristics of a cur dog, except fidelity," he uttered one of his masterpieces. He said of another: "fle reminds me of a viper-without the fangs." Our crude Washington name-callers of today should throw away their own books, and read Sam Houston and learn how to do it briefly and potently. *{<*
You know, if Roosevelt has as much trouble trying to fill those sixty million jobs as he has been having with the first two-Wallace and Williams-it's going to be slow, men, it's going to be slow. The Congress voted 399 to 2 that his appointment of Wallace to handle the RFC funds, was a bad one. And as this is written Williams. whose sole recomrnrendation for any job is that he has friends in the White llouse, is having tough sledding, too.
*** In 1943 Hitler said in one of his public addresses: "I believe we will win this war, but if we lose I will not sneak away as the Kaiser did. I have a golden bullet re-
served for the emergency." Well, Adolf, this looks like a good time. And in case you've mislaid the gold bullet, there are plenty of folks who will gladly furnish you just an old fashioned lead job that will sure do the work fine. Or, what's the matter with a rope, old boy !
.rrnt years ago, Hitler which reminds *e th; "1.J. made this statement: "We shall banish want, we shall banish fear. The essence of national socialism is human welfare. National socialism is the revolution of the common man. Rooted in a fuller life for every German from childhood to old age, national socialism means a new day of abundance at home and a better world abroad." Those words, simply dropping the "national socialism" name, have a very familiar ring, haven't they? And recent, too. Listened to Admiral **., thJ other day. He described the Japs as "beasts." I read a letter from the son of a friend who has been right through the Philippines campaign. There was horror of the Japs in every line he wrote. He said that to call the Japs beasts is an insult to all the lower animals, because no beasts have fallen so low. And this boy remarked that, after what he had seen and was seeing every day, he could arrive at but one conclusion; that there should be no more Japs after this war ends. I believe that most of our men who have seen the Japs at close range over there, ask themselves the same question: Are these creatures really human beings? *t<*

resin-impregnated libre laces. The composite panel is weatherprool and boilprool. The libre surlacing is hard and smooth. The brown color is pleasing,
and there is no appearance ol wood grain. The high strength-weight ratio oI SUPER-Harborite is an important value, as is its workability. Panels may be worked with hand or power tools and may be lastened with nails, screws, bolts or glue. For decorative or other linishes the surlace has an allinity Ior a wide variety ol paints, varnishes, lacquers, and other coat- I ings. For practical design purposes the same strength values may be used as lor Douglas fir
plywood ol like thickness and construction. Construction details as used with plywood are likewise practical in the use oI SUPER-Harborite. In the manulacture oI SUPER-Harboriie, normal plywood manulacturing pressures are used lor bonding; hence there is no appreciable compression oI the component veneers, thus avoiding the hazard oI a tendency oI thickness regain lrom wealhering or moisture conditions.

Up to the first of this year the American Red Cross had collected and sent overseas more than TEN MILLION pints of blood for our'wounded and sick soldiers. No one can .possibly .estimate-or .over-eStimate-how .many thousands of lives have been saved by that blood; how many brave and well-loved young men will come back to thelr homes and their loved ones because of that single one of the numerous vital activities of the Red Cross at war. **:k
Answering a question: It was shortly after the death of George Washington that General Henry Lee, familiarly and affectionately known to the army of Washington as "Lighthorse Ffarry," made an address to the Congress, and it was then that he uttered the immortal description of Washington-"pi;51 in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." "Lighthorse Harry" Lee was the father of Robert t. t"*..
* * f am opposed to compulsory'military training for American youth. The reason is, I have read history, and my reading tells me that since history began, people who
make a habit of carrying guns get intot the habit of frequently using them. It is just old human nature over again. Nations with compulsory military training, are forever warring. They always will. A man who has lots of guns and ammunition is more likely to go hunting, than 'the one who has not. A man who habitually packs a pistol is more likely to get into trouble'than one who does not, and when he gets into trouble it is more serious. Preparedness is one thing. National pistol toting is something else agiain.

John L. Lewis is on the loose again as this is written. ft's a habit with John. Flowever, regardless of what stand
he takes, you can be sure of one thing; nobody is going to send soldiers in to carry John out, like they did the slender old gentleman who heads Montgomery Ward. That you can be mighty sure of. I heard Lieutenant Governor John Lee Smith of Texas, making a speech. He said he did not know whether the Government is right or wrong in its case against Montgomery Ward, because he hadn't examined the evidence; but he said he would like to know why our Attorney General is such a growling lion when little old man Avery defies him, and such a mewing kitten
when it's John L. Lewis that does it? Not a bad question. Flowever, it's one all men*kno**,n" answer to.
Where does the order of the Purple Heart come from? is an everyday question, since we see that badge of honor worn on so many fine young breasts today. On August 7, 1782, General George Washington issued a general order, which read: "The General, ever desirous to cherish a virtuous ambition in his soldiers, as well as to foster and encourage every species of military merit, directs that whenever any singularly meritorious action is performed the author of it shall be permitted to wear on his facings, over
the left breast, the.figure of a heart in purple cloth, or silk, edged with narrow lace or binding . . " The records show that only a few purple hearts were issired during the Revolutionary War, and the distinction was dropped after that war ended. It was revived in L932 to designate a wounded combatant, by order of President Herbert Hoover, on February 22nd of that y""hington's birthday.

Two young men move forward under battle fire. Each has a mother at home. Each mother prays-{'Oh Lord, spare my boy !" One of them falls. The other survives. Did one mother, think you, pray better than the other? Prayer in war furnishes boundless food for thought. Abe Lincoln thought on the subject, and said these wise words concerning American boys killing one another in our Civil War: "Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same (Continued on Page 14)

The bartender said: "Certainly! It's Camacho!" "Right!" said the drunk, happily. "And now tell me, does anyone here know the name of the wife of the President of Mexico?" This apparently stopped them. Several shook their heads. Others just looked blank. Nobody replied. "Do you?" asked the drunk of the bartender.

S. Lamar Forrest Talks to Lumber Groups S. Lamar Forrest, Lubbock, Texas, president of the
National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, was guest speaker at a series of meetings held throughout California last month. These meetings, sponsored by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern, California, and the Southern California Retail Lumber Association, were for the specific purpose of introducing him to the re-
tail lumber dealers. S. Lcmcrr Forrest
The meeting agenda was as follows: Tuesday, February 20, dinner meeting at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco; Wednesday, February 21, luncheon meeting at Santa Lucia Inn, Salinas, and dinner meeting at the Hotel Californian, Fresno; Friday, February 23, luncheon meeting at the Clark Hotel, Stockton, and dinner meeting at Hotel Sacramento, Sacramento; February 27, luncheon meeting, Mayfair Hotel, Los Angeles. All meetings were very well attended and proved to be highly successful, as Mr. Forrest is not only a very capable speaker, but he brougl-rt a message of special significance to the retail dealer and to the lumber industry as a whole. He outlined the current activities of the National Association and its plans for future action. He emphasized the very important position the retail lumber dealer will hold in our postwar economic structure. The main postwar objective will be to have jobs for everyone and the one rvay to assume that objective, Mr. Forrest pointed out, r,vas tcr get people to buy things. The building industry can furnish jobs for millions, provided the consuming public will build homes and commercial structures and undertake repairs. He told the retail dealers their job was to sell the idea of home construction and repair, in order to insure this employment. Mr. Forrest asked each group to realize, as individuals, tirey were stockholders in this great nation of ours; t<,r take

As we draw nearer Berlin, Hitler's lair is more frequently mentioned as people guess where he may hide when the showdown comes. Our knowledge of that place is mythical. We know from reports of tourists and journalists before the war started, something about the Berchtesgaden of that time. About the hide-away home of Hitler, we know nothing. What has been done to it and with it since the war began, is only conjecture. When Hitler bought the place with the money he got selling "Mein Kampf," it was just a country residence. Berchtesgaden is the name of the town above which Hitler's home is located; not the home itself. It is located in the Southwestern corner of the Bavarian Tyrol, and is a market town on a mountain side above the valley of the River Ache (to pronounce this name, just gargle). The town is strung along a steep mountain road, nearly 3,000 feet altitude.. The Hitler place is on the mountain side above the town. Before the war many tourists went to Berchtesgaden. It is reached by a short line railroad branching off the main road running from Munich to Salzburg. Come to think of it, that might be a nice place to take a trip to this coming*summer-if things go right.
And then there was the sign in the delicatessen store that read: "If you can't smell it-we haven't got it." individual interest in all governmental matters, since any undertaking, including a democratic system of government, would exceed only as far as each individual participated. F. Dean Prescott, the Valley Lumber Company, Fresno, officiated as toastmaster for the first three meetings, with Ray Clotfelter, president of the Nortl.rern California Association, presiding. C. H. Garner, San Joaquin Lumber Company, was toastmaster at Stockton, and Charles Shepard, Friend and Terry Lumber Company, at the Sacramento meeting. Orrie W. Hamilton, secretary of the Southern California Association, presided at the Los Angeles meeting, and Paul Hallingby, Hammond Lumber Company, introduced Mr. Forrest.

Simple Suggestions for More Attractive lTall Design Treatments with l)ouglas Fir Plgwood No,tofaSeies
Detailed below is one of the many wall design treatments possible with Douglas fir plywood-a horizontal placement using a three-panel arrangement.
In applying plywood, start at the openings with vertical
c
E
joints and divide the plain wall spaces in an orderly pattern. Place vertical joints at top of door and at top and bottom of
window openings. Where width of wall is l0 feet or less, panels may be run horizontally in two or three pieces with openings cut out. lf width of door or window is over four feet, do not hesitate to place panels horizontally. Combinations of vertical and horizontal arrangements may be used in the same room with pleasing effect. Additional design suggestions
will be shown in subsequent advertisements. CAN PLYWOOD BE SPECIFIED NOW FOR POSTWAR USES?
The increased capacity of the industry will
make MORE Douglas fir plywood available for
civilian coisumption THAN EVER BEFORE, as soon as the needs of the armed services lessen 01 war restrictions are lifted. There will be no
teconversion delays; the same types and grades
of Douglas fir plywood that are now being made will flow immediately into peace-time building and construction.

carrying the war to the aggressor nations, the Ross Carrier Company of Benton l{arbor, Michigan, recently received the coveted "E" award for production of war materials. The award. which also was made to Ross Carrier's affiliate, the Michigan Power Shovel Company, was conducted at the company's plant in Benton Harbor before Army, Navy, Coast Guard and WAC representatives and employees of the plant. The "E" award was presented by Col. McDonald D. Weinert, commanding officer, of the Army Engineers, Milwaukee district. Speaking in behalf of the Chicago Quartermaster depot was Col. John N. Gage, procuremerrt director. Responding to the presentation speeches, H. B. Ross, president of the Ross Carrier Company and Michigarr Power Shovel Company, spoke briefly, but received an ovation from the employees who thronged the building. A buffet supper at the Hotel Vincent followed the presentation program.
My arboreal forebears Fled to caverns in the hills, Hoping there to solve the problems Of their prehistoric ills; Cleverly they fashioned weapons Hatchets, sturdy clubs'and spears, And when they had learned to use them Bid farewell to all their fears.
My arboreal progenitors Came out swinging one wild day, And before their savage onslaught All the monsters fled away. Then the victors laughed and shouted, And forsaking every den, Made new homes up in the tree tops For the world was safe for men.

Salvation is a NOW condition of spiritual wellbeing, of balanced mentality, of potential self-dominion." Actually, it doesn't matter by what method you get it. It is important that your mind and body have harmonious relations. Salvation isn't a matter of soul alone. It may also be a matter of your stomach.
Motherly Advice Little Claude's mother had reluctantly allowed her-precious child to attend public school.

That will frighten Claude."

Vaughan Announces Factri-Fit Door Units Geo. C. Vaughan & Sons of Houston and Nederland, Texas, sash and door jobbers and distributors of vital war materials, recently made an announcement to the trade about their Factri-Fit door units. Since 1938, the company has been doing experimental and research work on pre-fit doors and windows, believing the idea was entirely sound. They made it an actuality in the early days of cantonment construction in this war, and as war housing progressed they perfected the pre-fit FactriFit product which they incorporated in more than 4,000 housing units with complete success. With WPB approval, they have added a modern factory to its plant in Houston, equipped with the latest and best precision woodwork machinery, especially built and arranged to make this product. The Fir Door Institute permits Vaughan to use their name, "Factri-Fit," in connection with these door units. For the present, be'cause of conditions prevailing in the industry, they ,canhot supply their customers with the door units due to the shortage of proper materials. As soon as conditions change, Vaughan will place its factory and distribution facilities at the service of the trade. In the mean.time, essential rated war projects may secure from them the door units of the . new factory, but only for such purposes.
E. A. "Doc" Woods, vice president, is in charge of the
.company's Houston and Nederland operations.

Redwood Waste Used in Making Roofiins Felt Dating back to the last war, the research engineers of The Paraffine Companies, Inc., working in conjunction with the staff cjf The Paciflc Lumber Company, launched their investigation into the possibility of utilizing Redwood in fibre form as a supplement to rags, which had formerly been used exclusively in the making of roofing
the ribs of the disks to effect a complete separation of the individual fibres. These fine fibres float free in a watery mass, settling to the bottom of the disintegrator. As this pulpy mass continuously moves out of the chamber, steam is separated from the fibre and exhausted. The fluffy felt-like fibre is then carried forward to beater chests in the felt mill where it is blended in measured proportions with the already fiberized rag stock. Of particular interest is the fact that no chemicals, just power and steam, are employed in the process of defiberizing natural Redwood chips.
Bcrck From Ecrstern Trip Jack Shacher, Bell Lumber Company, Bell, has returned from the East 'ivhere he visited Washington, D. C. and Boston. Mass.

felt. Thns, with the passage of years, the progressive development of a mechanical means for separating Redwood fibres at a high temperature and in the medium of steam was put into commercial application and Pabco craftsmen started operation under this advanced process. The resultant felt-like fibres of Redwood produced by this method met the exacting recluirement of uniformity desirable in the making of felts and similar products. In the production of Redrvood fibre at the large Emeryville plant of The Paraffine Companies, Inc., select Redwood in the {orm of chips drops from huge storage bins into a disintegrator, similar to an old-fashioned grist mill. But instead of employing slowly revolving horizontal stones, it is equipped irrith vertical, high-speed, special alloy disks which operate in a chamber charged with steam under pressure. In passing between the steel alloy disks, one of which remains stationary while the other rotates, the steam heated chips are rubbed together and against

$Tir$$ffi U. S. Army Wcco-Designed CG-4A Troop Glider
frliding to IUar in "lUhi$por $hips" Bv R.T. Titus, Director Trade Extension \flest Coast Lumbermen's Association Huge troop and cargo gliders that are playing such a thrilling role in World War II again demonstrate the versatility of wood, nature's only renewable natural resource. Time and again during this war wood has proven its rvorth in countless ways as a war material of paramount importance and of far-reaching possibilities in the postr''i'ar period. Today over a rnillion board feet a month of straight-grained Sitka spruce and Noble fir from the Pacific North'rvest's forest region are goir.rg into the fabrication of these gliders or "Whisper Ships," the nen'est member of the aircraft family. Both hardn'oods ancl softrvoods are performing yeoman service in so manv tough jobs in tl-ris war it is difficult to single out any one or tu'o species for special consideration or commendation. In the first World War, Sitka spruce fron.r the coastal fog belt of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon came into international fame in the construction of small all-rvood planes. With the advent of this rvar, not only 'rn'as Sitka spruce again clrafted for warplane service but also Douglas fir, Noble fir and West Coast hemlock, all forest giants from the West Coast woocls. The inherent qualities of Douglas fir and Sitka sprucelightness and strenglh-1vs1s utilized by the British, rvho speedily fashioned them into the all-wood Mosquito bomber to meet the challenge of Hitler's air might in the early days of this r.var. They soon discovered that rvood had certain definite advantages over metal in design and in resistance to enemy attack. The wood bomber hacl finer lines, smoother surfaces and greater buoyancy, and, what's more, this type oi laminated plane is as strong structurally as a metal plane. Repairs are even easier to make on the wood bomber. E,nemy shell fire rvill make smaller shell holes in the wood planes than in the metal ones and no mushrooming results either. They were simple to produce, and their speed and performance in combat is just one record of achievement after another. Is it anv wonder
then that the British stepped up their production of Mosquitos ?
What the British learned about Douglas fir ancl Sitka spruce in their famous bombers had a tremendous influence in bringing about the exclusive use of these West Coast 'ivoods and also Noble fir in the production of the large troop and cargo gliders by American manufacturers. The transformation which has taken place in the glider field, is little short of phenomenal, for it rvas only a decade agcr that dareclevil lads were experimenting with single-seated contraptions. Coming off the production lines of r.var plants today are. giant motorless gliders capable of carrying cargo and 16 paratroopers rvith a combined capacity of 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. These big American cargo gliders cross the English Channel loaded with jeeps, trucks, bulldozers, ammunition and even troops headed for the front lines in a manner strongly suggesting "aerial freight trains." Ho'iv these "'tvhisper ships" came into being is one of the most fascinating stories to come out of the present world-wide conflict. Only a month before the Isle of Crete was invaded with German gliders in May, 1941, an event that frightened the lvorld at large, the U. S. Army Air Forces asked American manufacturers to design and develop two large glider models. From that recent beginning has come thousands of gliders that are daily proving their value and practicability, not only as cargo ca.rriers but in troop movements to establish beachheads and to drop behind enemy lines to cut them off. Pioneering in the design and production of gliders for the Army Air Forces was the Waco Aircraft Company of Troy, Ohio. The first two types to come off their production lines u'ere the Waco CG-34, a 9-place troop-carrying glider rvith a 73-foot u'ing spread, and the Waco CG-4A, a l5-place troop and cargo carrier with a wing spread of (Continued on Page 30)

The world thrilled in July, 1943, when a member of the British Royal Air Force piloted the first glider across the Atlantic Ocean from America to England, 3500 miles away, in only twenty-eight hours.

Noble Fir Aircraft Lumber Washintgon, D. C., Feb. 26-To meet increased requirements for aircraft grade lumber, control over the production of Noble fir lumber of aircraft grades has been reestab' lished by the War Production Board, that agency announced today. Sitka spruce, the preferred species for aircraft use, is con-
trolled by Order M-186. The orders covering Noble fir (the most desirable alternate for Sitka spruce) and western hemlock (next in order of desirability) were revoked in May 1944 when the supply of Sitka spruce aircraft lumber was adequate to meet requirements. Renewed control over Noble fir is established by Order M-386, issued February 24, 1945, and effective March 1.
