**:k

From the dawn of civilization, wood has played a prominent part in the affairs of man. And today, with a great national defense program in the making, wood is again demonstrating its wide usefulness.

{.*!k

It would require a greater volume than this one to list the uses that the Government is applying to the various products of wood at this time. Because wood is so workable, so applicable, so handy for serving man and his possessions.

**t<

At scores upon scores of defense camps, cantonments, and other Governmental spots too numerous to mention, wood has been used quickly, practicalln and successfully to get the work of defense started. Never before in this world's history has so much wood been ordered, delivered, and put to use in so small a space of time.

**rt

And other great quantities of wood have been used and are being used today to create the housing facilities needed for the mighty armies of men working for Uncle Sam, and training for Uncle Sam. ft proves to be a inost practical material. They can get it quickly, and can put it to use with great speed. So, almost over night, great cantonments capable of housing thousands of men, spring into existence.

Wood-in the shape of lumber-has demonstrated its elasticity in the matter of production, likewise. When the figures showing the production of lumber for the past six months-as compared with production for any previous like period in many years-have been compiled, it will be shown that the production of lumber was speeded up at a rate and in a volume few great commodities could even dream of. Overtime and extra shifts did the work. ***

In numerous instances mills that had contemplated and prepared for a rebuilding or modernizing job, set all such thoughts aside when the defense orders began coming in, and went to cutting lumber at the highest possible rate of speed. Result, there is plenty of employment to be had in almost every sawmilling district in the entire country, so far as we know.

{.**

And how they delivered it! By truck and train and car it went hurtling cross country as fast as the saws could turn it out. Armies of men stood and waited for its coming, and when it arrived, seized saw and hammer and went to work to fashion those defense units needed at that particular spot. The greatest difierence between the lumber business today and during the first World War was the speed of delivery. Twent5r-four years ago delivery of lumber was comparatively slow. ft was entirely by rail, and rail had not the speed then that it has now. This time the railroads have given rapid and dependable service in getting the lumber to the defense jobs; and the trucks have covered the highways.

{.**

It has all been a new g:rme to the lumber folks, also They had no prwious rules to go by in setting forth to supply the government and its contractors with their lumber needs. They had to learn as they went along.

Plenty of mistakes were made' some of them expensive ones, but that is always true in anything big and new and spectacular. The result was that the government on the whole, got splendid service in its lumber deliveries, and the buildings of wood grew like mushrooms at scores of chosen spots. ***

One thing noticeable, to the writer at least, is that all the army camps and cantonments he has seen so far, are painted. Most of them are attractively painted. In the first World War he saw many army camps, but remembets them as mostly entirely unpainted wood. A nice job of paint sure makes a big camp look more interesting and inviting. Don't know that they are all painted this time, but certainly plenty of them are, and it is a wise job. ***

Now that war is so much in the public mind, I call to mind a short but remarkable speech that was made by Sam Houston to his men, just before marching into the battle of San Jacinto, where Texas independehce was reon. It is worth putting in every scrapbook. General Houston said:

"This morning we are in preparation to meet Santa Anna. It is the only chance of saving Texas. From time to time I have looked for reinforcements in vain. We will only have about seven hundred men to march with, besides the camp guard. We go to conquer. It is wisdom growing out of necessity to meet the enemy now; every consideration enforces it. No previous occasion would justify it. The troops are in fine spirits, and now is the time for action. We shall use our best efforts to fight the enemy to such advantage as will insure victory, though t'he odds are greatly against us. I leave the result in the hands of a wise God, and rely upon His Providence. My country will do justice to those who serve her. The rights for which we fight will be secured, and Texas free."

New General Sales Manager Has

Mason E. Kline, who was recently appointed general sales manager of the Union Lumber Company, San Francisco, is well equipped for his new position by his varied experience.

A member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, he graduated in mechanical engineering from the lJniversity of Kentucky, took post-graduate work at the University of Illinois, and has long been recognized as one of the outstanding technical authorities of the lumber industrv with wide experience in Southern Pine, Eastern Hardwoods, Douglas Fir, Redwood and treated lumber.

McCormick Lumber Company at St. Helens, Oregon and at the San Francisco and New york offices. During this period of specializing in all branches of wood preservation he served in every section of the United States and part of Canada.

Mr. Kline has been with the Union Lumber Company f.or 14 years, and in his position of sales engineer did important work for the industry in the development and introduction of the structural grades of Redwood.

He was put in charge of the company,s Southern California operations and sales in Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado in March, 1934, and remained in Los Angeles for five years before returning to the San Francisco office.

He has done a great deal of traveling all over the country in the course of his work. Most of this has been by plane, the aggregate distance in the air being well over 1,000,000 miles. Incidentally he was presented some time ago by the United Air Lines with a handsome plaque, emblem of membership in their 100,000 Mile Club.
