For a recent revision of the War Production Board order limiting the salg of fir plywood says: "Ratings (to purchase panels) rvill be granted to individuals where the plywood is to be used as a bed support when specified by a physician's prescription."

Why such an order ?

For years doctors have advised patients to place a of plyr,r'ood between springs and mattress to prevent strain due to sagging, ill-fitting be{s. But as plywood norv is a vital war material, it has not been available for ordinary civilian uses.

Stuart has been connected with the wholesale lumber business for many years and is widely known to the Southern California lumber trade. He will retain his connections with Sierra Lumber Products of Pasadena.
