In 1925, altet 47 yecrs oI service ihis old mill wqs dismcntled and ccrelul inapeciion ol the sille proved them to be in guch wonderfully sound condition that they were uEed in constructingt qdditionql lumber plctlorms, Some recordl-even lor Redwood.)

Eighty years ago this week, during the administration of Abraham Lincoln, two California pioneers, William Carson and John Dolbeer formed a partnership that has since grown into one of the best known lumber operations on the Pacific Coast, Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, manufacturers of Redwood.

In 1857 William Carson, a native of New Brunswick, who had arrived in Humboldt County in 1851 and started working in the Redwoods that year, operated a sawmill with'a partner named Philip Hinkley. He later met John Dolbeer, who had come from New Hamphire, and in 1863 these two men built the foundation on which the present Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company is constructed.

Around these two rugged pioneers centers much of the history of Humboldt County, particularly of the lumber industry, a great deal of which has died out with the old timers and been forgotten. However, there's one thing on which the histories and old timers agree, and that is the fact that William Carson shipped the first cargo of Redwood lumber out of Humboldt Bav.

The modern electric mill now operated by this company is in great contrast to the small circular saw operation that began sawing in 1863. The two main rigs and the seven-foot resaw give this mill an average daily production of 140,000 feet, which includes a large percentage of Clear and other uPper grade material, due to the high. class timber owned by the company. An electric power plant furnishes the energy for the sawmill, numerous remanufacturing machines and the battery of six dry kilns.

In addition to the long sorting table the mill has twc> outlets, one for ties, the other for large timbers. This method of handling the mill's production of ties and timbers adds greatly to the efficiency with which the general output of the mill is taken care of from the table and distributed to the various grade piles in the green and dry yards. The kiln-dried stock is unloaded from kiln trucks under cover and transferred to the large dry sheds adjoining the planing mill. Worked dry orders for rail shipment are assembled in separate sheds also adjoining the planing mill and are then loaded into cars without being exposed to the weather.

A broad gauge railroad, The Bucksport & Elk River Railroad, taps the large tracks of virgin timber owned by this pioneer of the Redwood industry and it is a wonderful sight to see the trains arrive at the log pond, loaded with logs, many of which have been "halved or quartered" in the woods because of their immense size. Timber owned by this company assures the continuation for many years of its present daily production.

Visitors to this plant are immediately impressed with the conscientious care exercised by the employees both in mairufacturing the product and in its preparation for shipment. This fact can readily be appreciated when it is considered that of the present active mill plant employees many have loyally served this company for more than 25 years. That record of itself is evidence of the cooperation that exists between employer and employee in this organization-cooperation of a kind that has helped to make possible the building up of this business and the maintenance of the uniformly high grades that have been identified with this operation since its inception.

The present head of the company, Henry M. Hink, who has been associated with Dolbeer & Carson Lumber

Company since 1910, succeeded the late J. M. Carson as president.

The general sales office is in the Merchants Exchange Building, San Francisco. Harry G. Hood, assistant in the sales department, has been with the company since 1925, as has R. E. Seward, the sales representative in the Los Angeles territory. The San Diego Lumber Company is the representative in that market.

V. M. Kemble, San Francisco, is secretary of the company.

E. J. (Joe) Stewart is general superintendent at Eureka with 44 years of service to his credit.

Alden Ball, assistant superintendent at Eureka, looks after shipments. E. J. (Abe) Abrahamson is planing mill superintendent. Sam Davis has charge of dry kiln operations.

Watt Hibler is general superintendent of logging and railroad operati,ons.

B. M. Bullock is Eureka office manager and vice-president of the company.

Ellsworth La Boyteaux, grandson of the late J. M. Carson, and formerly connected with the company at Eureka, is at present serving in the armed forces.

"'We do not need more material development; we need more spiritual development. We do not need more government; we need more culture. We do not need more of the things that are seen; we need more of the things that are unseen. There is in the people themselves the power to put forth great men. There is in the soul of the nation a reserve for responding to the call of high ideals, to nobility of action, which has never been put forth."

-Calvin Coolidge.

Splendid words. The taciturn Coolidge had a thinking capacity-well illustrated by the above quotationthat will give him high rank when the permanent history of these times is written. He had little music; but splendid thoughts.

I often wonder as I read a dozen scattered newspapers a day, lots of good magazines, and listen to my radio, why in these times that "try men's souls" we hear so little real eloquence either in the spoken or written word on the subject of pure patriotism, love of country. Has that ever impressed you? ***

There is no lack of speakers and writers. fn fact, there is a profusion of both. They speak well. They write well. But they are practically mute-or so it impresses meon a subject on which during every previous American emergency there was terrific emphasis. f speak of real old-fashioned eloquence on the subject of American sentimentalism, love of home, love of country.

**'k

Our thoughtful and patriotic citizens today speak and write voluminously. But their attack is largely concrete, rather than emotional. They speak of production figures and accomplishments; of conditions at home and abroad; of the horrors that would follow defeat; of the great need

of funds to finance the war effort and our allies; of home and foreign economics; of politics; they plead with us to support our brave boys in uniform. They do all these things and more. But practically all of their pleadings and arguments are calm, logical, mechanical if you will. There are few heart throbs discernible.

'F**

You would think that in such times as these there would arise among our people another Daniel Webster (or a dozen such, so great is the need). For fifty years that great orator made it his sacred business in every public utterance never to resume his seat until he had fired at least a few verbal rockets into the skies on the subject of patriotism, of love of country, of home, of Old Glory. No logical pleadings ever. His were the emotional outpourings of a patriotic heart and soul concerning the land and people he loved, the country and fag he adored; its greatness; the grandeur of its mission; its promise of hope to the people of all the world. To spread such gospel was not just the pastime of his idle moments; it was the serious business of his life. From his eighteenth to his seventieth year he made innumerable public addresses; and from no one of them did he ever omit a bit of tremendous flagwaving.

He quoted no statisticl, *r**U to no vital facts or figures on these occasions. Statistics are matters of the mind. True patriotic eloquence is of the heart. It has no more to do with figures, with concrete facts, or with dire forebodings, than the throbbing song of the mockingbird, singing to its mate at dawn of a spring day. To Webster the love of country was something that filled his heart to overflowing, and he launched a priceless and unfaltering tribute to "the land of the free" with no more staging, preparation, manuscript or mechanics than does the softthroated mockingbird. Could any man have a finer mis-

(Continued from Page 8) sion than to preach with inspired words that sacred textlove of country-love of flag-love of homeland?

We have had many *rJ"a |"a}totic orators in American history, but Webster furnishes a splendid example for them all. He had the looks, the thoughts, the words, the fire, the voice, the presence, the personality to impress the minds of men. He had a crag-like head and brow. He was large and powerful. Even before he opened his lips to speak, he made a tremendous impression on his audiences. Like Lincoln he had a face that was furrowed as only sorrow, and care, and deep thought can furrow the face of a man. He liad all the outward appearance, the impressiveness of a man with a message. And a message this man HAD.

**rs

In all things Webster was not titanic. In many ways he was distinctly human. He had his very human sides. But when he spoke on his favorite subject-America-the love he felt for her, his reverence for her greatness, his belief in her mission, the grandeur of her present, the splendor of her future, her priceless and inextinguishable torch of freedom, her heritage of hope to all the peoples of a troubled world-he became godlike in his emotional enthusiasm. To fire the hearts of his fellow Americans with patriotism; to instill them with greater love for their native land-this was the chief living motive of Daniel Webster, as he eloquently orated his way through a long life.

t3**

Next to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death," 'Webster's Salute to the Flag is the most marvelous patriotic utterance in American history. He was the flag"$rsvsr of all fag-wavers. But while the average orator of the fagwaving type depends on the emotions developed by that well-loved banner itself to arouse the enthusiam of his hearers; Webster's inspired words and phases and the enthrallment of his delivery, accomplished his purpose to the n'th degree. When he raised his face and voice to

Old Glory it had the same effect on his audience that the singing of the Marseillaise-that patriotic song of songsused to have on the patriotic people of France. And folks, if you want to make a pink-eyed rabbit walk up and spit smack in the eye of a snarling Bengal tiger-sing him the Marseillaise. If he doesn't strike, he's no true rabbit.

Sad to relate, websterls Jr"Ju ,t"" died with him, his only remaining son, Fletcher 'Webster, died at the first battle of Bull Run. The great orator was 75 years old when he died; but they could have truthfully inscribed on his tomb the statement that he made more Americans spring to their feet with the fire of patriotism in face and heart and cheer their throats out for Old Glory, than any other man or group of men in American history. Could any man ask for a better epitaph than that?

Patriotic oratory, of the type made famous not only by Webster and Lincoln and Henry and Clay but by scores of other great speakers through our history, is something difficult to define. It is something you reach up into the clouds to get. If a man has it, he has it. No man can learn it, because in it there are no mechanics, no instruction books. When oratory comes, it is in the very air we breathe. In American history, oratory has always comes in waves. There is a high tide of national oratory, followed by very low tides. Right at this time, with the fate of the nation at stake, there were never so few eloquent voices abroad in the land instilling patriotic fire, and there was never before in all history, srich an opportunity, or such a need. Yes, we need a lot of stem-winding patriotic eloquence in this country. In a nation of 135,(X)0,000 people which has in the past always produced a wealth of eloquent speakers, there must be many potential Daniel Websters. Maybe we'd better issue a call for volunteers.

The word keeps going the rounds, also, that for some strange reason this terrible war has as yet produced no

outstanding song to sweep the country, and inspire the armed forces. Someone has said that this is not a singing war. But inspired tunes like "Over There," "A Long Way To Tipperary," "Oh How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning," and several other greats of the last World War would be as definitely and practically helpful as some 'Websters, or Patrick Henrys. It has been truly said that the effect of music on war morale cannot well be overestimated. The power of song is admittedly tremendous. For arousing patriotic fervor, martial music has no substitute. fn the movie, "Casablanca" (don't miss it, friend) there is a thrilling demonstration, both to the screen story and to the.audience. In a night spot'in the North African city of Casablanca, a city of refugees, a group of German officers strike up a martial German air, and sing it lustily. Instantly across the room a French patriot rises to his feet and starts singing the "Marseillaise," that great French song of the human heart. The effect on that room full of merry-makers is like dropping a burning fuse into a powder barrel. Men and women alike spring to their feet and join the song. Close-up shots of the faces of the singers show people who are seeing a vision-a vision of that beloved France that they hope to see again. They drown out the German song. The scene thrills the movie audience. If there was a recruiting officer in the theatre, most of the grey-beards would instantly enlist. You sit before that screen picture and swallow hard, because

there's a choking in your throat. Swallow it, friend. That's your Adam's Apple. But you'll remember that scene and that song long after you leave the theatre.

How a nation that maitrJ* ai ,n" "Marseillaise,, could ever be defeated, is hard to understand. When a crowd rises and sings from their hearts that most thrilling of all martial airs, the weakest arm turns hard as oak; the softest heart becomes a fountain-head of courage; the lowliest citizen longs for some target like the ,,Fuehrer's face" to cast a lance at. Ah, that Marseillaise ! Whenever you go looking for a tune that works miracles with human beings, and does it instantaneously-you need go no farther. The order has been filled. Surely the French nation, with a song of their own that transforms the human soul in the passing of a moment, can never be destroyed; must rise again. Even though it had nothing to recommend it but that song, that nation should nevertheless live forever.

Yes, definitely, we rr"*,"!rJa i.ua or songs and speeches that will cause the breath to start, t}re eye to glisten, the voice to cheer, the heart to throb anew. We are strong, brave, tough, dogged fighters; no doubt of it; but we have need of more things that appeal to our emotions; the kind that thrills the human heart "when trumpets blow for war."

Thought It Was Guadalcanal

An old friend of mine who is a Captain in the army and getting a great thrill out of it, told me the following story, swears it is true. His outfit is stationed on Matagorda Island, in the Gulf off the Texas coast. One day an enlisted man in his compa.ny failed to return from his Sunday leave. F'ive days later he telephoned in from Chicago, and wanted to get back to camp. Arrangements were made, and 36 hours later the soldier reported to the Captain.

"All right, soldier," said the Captain. *Go ahead and tell me all about it."

"Well, Captain" said the returned prodigal soldier, "On Saturday night I got lickered up pretty high. I got

a bottle of whisky and got on a bus. For five days I just kept riding busses and drinking whiskey, until finally I ended up in Chicago with no money and no whiskey, so I phoned you for help."

"Wait a minute, soldier," said the Captain. "That might happen all right if it were not for the Military Police all along the line. Didn't any of them pick you up?"

"Sure," said the soldier. "Several times the M. P.'s stopped me, and asked 'Where you from, soldier?' And I told them Matagorda Island! And they would just slap me on the back and say-'great work, soldier; hope you hold them damn Japs'-and they let me go on every time."

RemarkS (Wise and Otherwise)

RegardingHoarding-..

The men who fix rationing rules and prices to try and prevent inflation, and then see the price of unrationed and unpriced food go sailing into the sky, must feel like the committee that used to go uP from the audience to see that Harry Houdini was securely tied and locked in the iron-bound trunk. !F {.

And what are we going to do to stop the singing of that good old colored gospel hymn that says: All God's chillun got shoes?

How do you suppose the farmer feels who now gets fertilizer to raise more crops from the same fellow that used to send him checks for not planting them?

!t {3

During the first World War, President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points had the whole world talking. Shucks ! We get SIXTEEN points a week, just for meat and sich like'

Anyway, it looks like the world is in one heck of a fix when Little Johnnie Jones has to have a ration card to get ammunition for his pea-shooter.

If a man tells you he is suffering from food-poisoning today, you naturally respond-"Why, you rich so-and-so !" IJnless, of course, he meant poisoned by too little food. **

Anway, no fair minded man can say this nation isn't making prog'ress. Three years ago it was proclaimed that our population was one-third ill fed' Now it's three-thirds. **

Statisticians say that fifty thousand small food merchants are going out of business before the food shortage ends. Sort of out-pointing them, don't you see? rl. *

And some wag has remarked that before the rationing thing is over millions of us will be more willowy than billowy. Not bad. * {.

A gambler is a man who spends his entire 48 points the first week of the month, and then sits back and waits for something to happen. Still and all, as they say, a lot of women rushed out and bought prunes at twenty precious'points a pound-and something happened. And did it make them mad ? Maybe the gambler is right'

A spendthrift is. a man who spends his whole 48 points for two cans of pineapple. Either that or the pineapples have got him. * *

And someone writes in that whenever you hear some guy griping about some vagary of the rationing program, and loudly declaring: "They can't do this to me"-you can be certain of two things: they've already done it to him, and there isn't a cussed thing on earth he can do about it.

And then there was the Scotchman who said he didn't really mind because gas rationing had forced him to lay up his car and ride to town on a bus; it gives him a chance to read the morning paper in peace; that is, if the guy he sits with will just hold it still. ,l*

..THE KID IN UPPER FOUR" BECOMES A NATIONAL PERSONALITY

It is not often that a commercial advertisement possesses so much "stuff" that it becomes nationally publicized, but that is what has happended to an advertisement published by the New Haven Railroad months ago, entitled-"The Kid in Upper 4." It caught the public fancy in a- hurry. There was so much indescribable appeal in both the picture and the wording of the advertisment, that newspapers and magazines began copying it-with permission, of course. Recently the New York Herald Tribune added mightily to its fame by reproducing the ad in a full page, calling it the greatest morale builder that the war has produced. Said that newspaper: "More than any other advertisement published in this war-perhaps even in this generation-this one has been read and reread and believed and answered by an understanctng public."

The ad shows a young soldier boy in the upper berth of a troop train. Lying wide awake, eyes staring upward into nowhere, he is rushing into the unknown, and the copy reads:

"Tonight, he knows, he is leaving behind a lot of little things-and big ones.

"The taste of hamburgers and pop the feel of driving a roadster over a 'six lane highway. .a dog named Shucks, or Spot, or Barnacle Bill.

"The pretty girl who writes so often that grayhaired tnan, so proud and awkward at the station. . the mother who knits the socks he'll wear soon.

"Tonight he's thinking them over.

"There's a lump in his throat. And mayb+a tear fills his eye. ft doesn't matter, kid. Nobody will see. It's too dark.

"A couple of thousand miles away, where he's going, they don't know him very well.

"But people all over the world are waiting, praying for him to come.

"And he WILL come, the kid in Upper 4.

"lVith new hope, peace and freedom, for a tired, bleeding world.

"Next time you are on the train, remember the kid in Upper 4.

"If you have to stand enroute, it is so he may have a seat.

"If there is no berth for you, it is so that he may sleep.

"ff you have to wait for a seat in the diner-it is so h+and thousands like him may have a meal they won't forget in the days to come.

"For to treat him as our most honored guest is the least we can do to pay a mighty debt of gratitude."

And that, folks, is the New Haven Railroad ad about "The Kid in Upper 4"; one of the grandest and most inspiring ads ever printed.

It was produced by the Wendell P. Colton Advertising Agency, and the copy was written by a man named Nelson C. Metcalf, a professional ad writer. More power to him!

RATHER BE TIMID

It was in a small town in Georgia that a lion broke loose from a circus that was showing in town, and the circus menagerie men organized a posse of men and dogs to help them track the animal down and recapture him. They got one big, husky colored boy who knew the country well, and it was largely with his help that they finally cornered the beast in a thicket, which they then surrounded, and got ready to go in and rope hin:-

Before they started this last act of the chase, the head lion man pulled a bottle of whiskey from his pocket, took a long pull at it, and offered it to this colored helper. "Take a drink" he urged him. "Nossuh, Boss," said the darkey, "I don' \,viant none o' dat stuff in me right now." "But, it will pep you up before we start in after that lion," said the circus man. "Dass whuts I'm afraid of," said the colored one. "I don'wanna git TOO BRAVE.'

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

On the rifle range the new recruits were trying hard, but getting nowhere. They were terrible marksmen, being entirely inexperienced with the rifle. At 500 feet, no hits; at 300, no hits; at 100, no hits. Suddenly a gleam came into the sergeant's eye. He shouted:

"Attention men ! Fix bayonets ! Char-r-ge !"

PERMANANT

Eugene Field, in his ne$'spaper days, was always in debt. One day a friend named Smith blew into town and told Field he was going to stay right there until he collected the money Field owed him. That day in Field's newspaper column appeared this notice: 'John Smith, of Quincy, is in town. He came to look after one of his PERMANENT investments."

Prelerence Procedures for \Var Housing Outlined

San Francisco, March 3l-Procedures for the assignment of preference ratings and the allotment of materials for privately-financed war housing construction under the Controlled Materials Plan have been established by the War Production Board and the National Housing Agency, it was announced today.

Under the Controlled Materials Plan, authorization to obtain controlled materials will be handled by the various claimant agencies to whose jurisdiction the projects have been assigned. Under this plan, therefore, the National Housing Agency, as claimant for the war housing program, will assign preference ratings and allot controlled materials in connection with the processing of applications for privately-financed housing construction.

Paving the way for establishment of these procedures is a new order, P-55-8, which was announced today by WPB. This order is similar to preference rating order P-55 as amended, the preference rating order issued for residential construction, except that certain changes have been made in order to adapt the administration of the war housing program to the Controlled Materials Plan.

Under procedures which have been established by WpB and NHA, consumers of materials must file a pD-105 form, the application form used for residential construction, and a PD-105a form, which contains a materials list. Consumers are then granted a P-55-B order, which

New Ship Named for Humboldt Pioneer

The 10,500-ton Liberty freighter, S. S. William Carson, the 165th ship launched from the yards of the California Shipbuilding Corp. slid down the ways April 7, with Mrs. Court Eliason of Oakland, wife of the regional advisor of the U. S. Maritime Commission acting as sponsor.

The keel for the S. S. William Carson was laid down on March 12 of this year. It was on the ways only 26 days.

William Carson was- born in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, on July 15, 1825. He gained his early experience in lumbering by assisting his father, who was engaged in getting out ship timber for exportation to Liverpool. He left for San Francisco in 1848. After working in the gold fields he wintered in Humboldt County, where he and his logging companions located a logging camp near Eureka.

In 1857 he started operating a sawmill with a partner named Philip Hinkley. The partnership with John Dolbeer was formed in 1863, founding the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company. IIe was considered the dean of Redwood manufacturers. He was also one of the founders of the Humboldt County Bank, the Bank of Eureka and the Savings Bank of Humboldt County. He was one of the incorporators of the Elk River and Eureka Railroad Company, the Bucksport & Elk River Railroad, and the Humboldt Northern Railroad.

He was one of the founders of the North Mountain Power Company. Outside of Humboldt County, the Milford Land and Lumber Company, the San Diego Lumber Company, and the West Coast Lumber Company owed their development to his influence. He was active in the Humboldt Lumber Manufacturers' Association of Eureka.

Amendm ent 4 to MPR-215 ---Dimension Lumber

Douglcrs Fir Henrlock Cedar

Washington, D. C., March 25.-The definition of dimension lumber in the price regulation on distribution yard sales of softwood lumber was revised today by the Office of Price Administration to include stock up to 24 feet in length and to conform to descriptions of dimension lumber in other lumber regulations.

Under the change, accomplished by Amendment No. 4 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 (Distribution Yard Sales of Softwood Lumber),, dimension lumber now covers all items two inches in thickness in the width of 12 inches or less and up to 24 f.eet in length. Previously only twoinch stock items up to Z2 feet in length were classed as dimension by the regulation.

The effect of the redefinition is to make an item of twoinch stock 24 f.eet in length a piece of dimension rather than a timber size which results in effec,t in a reduction of price. Non-standard or timber sizes produced from ripping and resawing from the original size can be sold at the mill price of the original size plus the remanufacturing charges specified in the regulation. Ilowever, if board or dimension sizes are produced from the original size, the remanufacturing charges cannot be added, and only the ceiling established for the dimension size can be charged.

The amendment, effective March 31, also clarified the percentage mark-up provisions applying to "CPA Contract Yards" which are yards operating under special arrarlge-

ments to maintain stock-piles of lumber for distribution in accordance with directions from agencies of the War Department.

In sales of softwood lumber from a CPA yard to another distribution yard, the percentage mark-up is limited to five percent, which is the same mark-up provided for sales be,tween distribution yards. A lack of the express linritation caused some confusion in the industry

In issuing the amendment, OPA published the text of Regulation 215 complete with all changes made by todayos and earlier amendments.

Complete Ne*" Dty Kiln Installation

The Diamond Match Company have recently completed the installation of modern Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns of the latest design for their commercial lumber department at Albeni Falls, Idaho, and have made other extensive changes in their plant including the revamping of their yard layout and the installation of a lift truck system for handling unit packages of lumber. The roads in the yard have been paved to facilitate the movement of their lift trucks and carriers.

The Diamond Match Company produces Idaho white pine, Ponderosa pine, Fir and Larch, Engelmann Spruce, White Fir and Hemlock, also Inland Empire Red Cedar. During normal times their output was shipped all over the United States. Their principal outlets were through retail yards from the Dakotas to the Atlantic Seaboard, but at present they are devoting their energy to helping win the war and 90 to 95 per cent of their output is going directly to defense needs, crating, construction of cantonments and camps, etc. They have also shipped a considerable quantity of lumber for construction purposes to Pearl Harbor, Panama, and other Government projects throughout the world.

The new dry kiln installation at Albeni Falls consists of four automatically sprinklered 1\{oore Cross-Circulation Kilns. These are single ended charge type kilns served by one electric transfer car. These new kilns employ large diameter fans rotated on a longitudinal shaft overhead

above the solid piles of lumber. These fans are driven by a single motor located in the control room outside the kiln controller, which not only controls the temperature and humidity on the kilns, but also automatically regulates the ventilating system. The operation of the kilns is under the supervision of Palmer Haugen.

Cooling sheds to the left of the kilns are all covered so that lumber is protected from the elements. At this plant stacking is done by means of a stacking lift employing sticker guides which insure very accurate stacking. Unit packages are brought up the stacker by means of a carrier.

A visitor at Albeni Falls notices that the operation is nicely finished. The Diamond Match Company is very proud of their equipment and takes more than ordinary pains to see that it is painted and maintained in first class condition. Their standards of housekeeping are especially high, and they are very particular about the maintenance of their rvhole plant.

P. H. Jackson is sales manag'er, and is also in charge of the Albeni Falls operation. The installation of the new dry kilns and the revamping of the yard has been under the supervision of David R. Gray, mechanical engineer of the company. Mr. Gray spends a good part of his time at the California operations, where extensive changes have been made under his direction during the past year. John R. Gray is vice-president and manager of the Western lumber and timber operations.

tVill Discuss Methods Providing Relief For Retail Lumber Yards

Methods of providing immediate relief for retail lumber yards and retailers of lumber products from squeezes caused by increased lumber prices will be discussed in New York, April 15, at a meeting with members of the industry, the Office of Price Administration announced today.

About 2,000 retailers are expected to attend the meeting which will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel beginning q! 10 a.m.; Peter A. Stone, price executive of the Lumber Branch, will preside. Also representing OpA will be Henry J. Eckstein acting head of the distribution section, and Arthur Larson, chief counsel for the branch.

OPA announced that temporary ceilings for retail lumber and retail lumber products would be discussed. The temporary ceilings may be placed on all products not presently covered by the Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 (Distribution Yard Sales of Softwood Lumber) which placed a ceiling.on some retail lumber items for specifiecl classes of purchasers while other items and purchasers were left under the control of the General Maximum Price Regulation.

Retailers of products subject to the General Maximum Price Regulation have been squeezed in many instances by authorized advances since March, 1942, in the price of lumber at the mill and wholesble levels. The temporary regulation is planned to provide relief until a permanent

regulation is drafted on the basis of cost studies now being conducted by OPA on a nationwide basis.

The interim regulation will apply to dealers in Maryland, Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and all of the New England states. Similar meetings will be held in other regions at dates to be announced later by OPA for discussion of temporary ceilings for their sales.

Sales at retail covered by Regulation No. 215 will remain subject to that regulation, and only those sales not covered by the regulation will be aftected by the proposed action.

All trade associations and trade papers have been notified of the meeting and have been requestd by OPA to inform their members and all known dealers who are not members of their groups to attend the meeting.

The trade associations who were asked to coorperate with OPA are: Greater New York Lumber Dealers' Association; Metropo[tan Lumber Dealers' Associates, Inc., New York; Middle Atlantic Lumbermen's Association, Philadelphia; New Jersey Lumbermen's Association, New Newark, N. J.; New York Lumber Trade Association, Inc., of New York, and the Northeastern Retail Lumbermen's Association, Rochester, N. Y.

The next scheduled meeting will be held at Detroit on April 21 at a time and place to be announced later.

Western Pine in Nevada, Arizona Golden Petersen Concatenation Brought Under Price Ceiling

San Francisco, March 29.-Western pine and associated species of lumber produced in Nevada and Arizona, as well as that produced in Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Utah and New Mexico, were brought under dollar-andcents ceilings today by the Office of price Administration.

The action was brought about by extending the geographical scope of maximum price regulation no. 94 and was one of the major changes accomplished by amendment no. 1 to that regulation effective April 5.

Until now the mills in the seven states were covered bv the general maximum price regulation, and the effect of the action today is to place them under the same regulation covering western pine producers of California, Washing_ ton, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho.

The amendment also made clear that all species com_ mercially sold as western, Ponderosa, or Mexican pine are covered by the regulation, including Lodgepole pine, Mexican White Pine, Chihuahua pine, and Arizona pine. All pine produced in Mexico and sold in this countrv is under the regulation.
