Stenogrqphers Sprecd

I have learned with regret

That a trirn silhouette

Requires meticulous care. I have to be wary, My worlCs sedentary, And closely allied with a chair.

When I take dictation For later translation, I am quite at ease, I admit; So I have to beware

Of a gross derriere

Since most of the time I must sit.

My weakened elastics, Plus lack of gymnastics, Portend of this spectre I dread. I plan to keep slim, So I'll have to be grim, To combat stenographer's spread.

Wilderness

"Wilderness," wrote the naturalist, John Muir, "is a necessity. Mountain peaks and reservations are useful, not only as fountains for timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life."

"Anyr complaints?"

"Yes, sir, this tea tastes like chloride of lime.', The officer stopped, sniffed the contents of the mug, tasted it delicately.

"Wrong, soldier," he said, "that isn't the chloride of lime taste. That's carbolic acid.,,

Foreigm Trcde Week

The eighteenth annual observance of National Foreign Trade Week in Southern California will be held in Los Angeles, May 2l-27, 1944.

Nine important meetings already are programmed, and more are being lined up, General Chairman W, F. Bettis announces. Stressing the theme, "postwar trade mqans postwar jobs," meetings will pay tributd to the pre-war increase in exporting and importing registered at Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, and will forecast a greatly enlarged foreign trade for the postwar era.

and Retail Lumber Stocks

Washington, April 19-A selected group of wholesale and retail lumber yards is being asked by the War Production Board to cooperate in making a survey of lumber stocks, the Lumber and Lumber Products Division of WPB announced today. A similar survey was made in July, 1943, and provided a very accurate pieture of the lumber supply in distribution yards and the rate of stock depletion.

fn order to plan production and distribution of lumber, WPB now needs new information on inventories as of December 31, 1943, and March 31, 1944. On the basis of the data received from the sampling of wholesale and retail yards, it will be possible to arrive at national and regional totals as well as trends in stock changes, division officials said. The results will show the quantity of lumber passing through wholesale and retail channels and should be helpful in providing the quantities required quarterly for those purchasers who obtain lumber through these yards.

fnformation obtained from the survey will complete the picture of lumber supply. Division officials pointed out that data on production and mill stocks are obtained currently through surveys carried on by the U. S. Forest Service in cooperation with WPB; the amount of lumber imported is accurately known from import licenses; and information on stocks and requirem-ents of large industrial consumers is being obtained from the reports filed under Order L-335.

Wholesale and retail yards are asked to report on Form 2644, which calls for information on hardwood and soft. wood lumber inventories as of December 31, 1943, and, March 31, l9M, by species, grades and sizes. Also asked for on the form is the amount of lumber received by the yard or by customers to fill orders placed by the yards during the six months ending January l, 1944, and the three months ending April 1, 19,$4.

Individual reports will be used only for statistical purposes, WPB said, and over-all data on condition of stocks will be released to the press and public. About 8,000 yards are being asked to participate in the survey. WpR pointed out thbt the more returns received, the more accurate the results will be. A sampling of approximately N per cent coverage of all wholesale and retail yards is desired.

Having temporarily lost our Philippine mill, we are now producing lumber in Humboldt County, California.

We can ship Rough Green Fir, Redwood Lrumber and Shingles, Redwood Split Products, by truck, rail or water.
