Seattle, Washington, May L4, 1943-The weekly average of West Coast lumber,production in April (4 weeks) was 164,497,000 board feet, or 108.3 per cent of 7939-1942 averag'e, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 177,757,000 board feet ; shirpments, 167,110,000. Weekly averages for March were: Productign, I49,449W board feet (98.4 per cent of the 1939-1942 average) ; orders, 143,467,M ; shipments, 151,362,ffi
The industry's unfil.led order file stood at 1,048,321,000 board feet at the end of April; gross stocks, at 503,782,W.
Continued gain in production remained the feature of the West Coast lumber picture in April, with the weekly average 108.5 per cent of the 1939-1942 average, against 98.4 per cent in March and 83.3 in February. Gain is due to the fact that the manpower situation has somewlal im,proved, with practically all logging operations running 48 hours per week, while all mills that can get logs are on a 48-hour basis.
The industry has made this record in the face of necessity to produce specific and changing kinds of lumber to meet emergency war requirements. The need for a tremendous volume of boards for boxes and crates brought an order from the Western Log and Lumber Administrator of the War Production Board for West Coast mills to treble production of these particular items. The response
has been complete-so much so trhat 26 million feet of board orders have been transferred from the South to the West Coast.
April brought signs that war'plant construction is over the peak. This signifies that more lumber may gradually be made available for commercial trade, particularly to meet farm and railroad requirements.
The Western Pine Association for the week ended May 15, 101 mills reporting, gave orders as 79,090,000 feet, shipments 75,742,m feet, and production 82,568,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 436,232,ffi feet.
The Southern Pine Association for the week ended May 15, 144 mills reporting, gave orders as 19,192,000 feet, shipments 23,832,0m feet, and production 20,883,0O feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 126,719,W feet.
The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended May 8 reported orders as 124,502,W feet, shipments 120,363,000 feet, and production 117,612,O$ f.eet.
For the week ended May 15, orders were reported .as 137,386,000 feet, shipments 117,591,000 feet, and production 121,156,000 feet.
California producers of Douglas fir lumler today were authorized by the Office of Price Administration to price their lumber on the same basis as mills producing the same species in Oregon and Washington west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains.
This action also formalizes the industry's practice of a single level of prices for all Douglas fir lumber delivered in California, which means that California mills may sell their lumber for the same price obtained for lumber delivered from Oregon and Washington.
The moves were contained in amendment No. 15 to maximum price regulation No. 26 (Douglas fir) which was expanded in scope to include California, since the mills in that state grade and sell most of their Douglas fir, hemlock and true fir in competition with northern mills.
At the same time, OPA excluded from regulation No. 26 cross ties and switch ties, which are being trairsferred to maximum price regulation No. 284 (Western primary forest products) for coverage.
Conditions under which log and "bolt" buying plants may obtain suspension of ceiling prices for more than 45 days while they prepare area-pricing petitions are announced by OPA (MPR 348, Amendment 3), efiective May 19.
White fir lumber produced west of the crest of the Cascade Mountain range was exempted by the War Production Board today from restrictions imposed by limitation order L-D0, which became effective last Thursday. The volume of production of this excepted lumber is very small and is generally mixed with hemlock lumber, produced in the same mills, and sold as hemlock. Most of the white fir is produced east of the range.
The mills which produce this white fir are governed by limitation order L-218 on their Douglas fir production and by order M-208 on their hemlock and white fir output. These two orders are considered sufficient controls for the very small amount of white fir produced.

for lumber ane all-important today, and we are cooperating wholeheartedly with this program. We likewise share our dealers' problemE and are preparing fon greater seryice in the peacetime of tomorrow.
For the past 17 months the same identi,cal wall of silence that descended upon the conquered countries of Europe when the Nazis took over, has covered like a black fog the Islands and other conquered territories of the Western Pacific that fell into the ruthless hands of the Japs. No news comes through. Concerning what has happened to the great timbered sections of the Philippines and those other huge island possessions that the Japs now hold is only conjecture. American owners, and others interested in those forests and their products, know nothing. The Japs came in. Then came silence.
In discussing the fabulous wealth acquired by the Japs in those Western Pacific territories, the press generally entirely overlooks one of their most valuable grabs, namely, the forests. Practically all of the timber wealth of that huge island world, is hardwood; and practically all of the hardwoods are of the more valuable sort, cabinet woods, and others of high quality and exceptional usefulness.
In the Philippine Islands alone there is estimated to stand abut 464 billion feet of commercial timber, all hardwoods, mostly cabinet woods. When the Japs struck, there were more than one hundred sawmills, some of them equipped in the most modern fashion for making quality lumber. operating in the Philippines. Many of them were owned in the United States and England. Citizens of these two countries owned large timber possessions in the Philippines. Bataan Peninsula, which became immortal when the heroic American and Philippine armies made their last stand there, has probably produced more high grade cabinet wood than any other territory of equal size in the entire world.
For in the Philippines as nowhere else on earth, fine hardwoods and cabinet woods grow in solid stands like Long Leaf Pine forests in the South, tall, straight, cylindrical-trunked trees with no branches for twenty, thirty, or forty feet from the ground. Here, and nowhere else on earth, cabinet woods of tall, straight-grained trees, knew nature's mass production. And these mighty forests, where hardwood timbers forty and fifty feet in length can be cut for special uses are all in the hands of the Japs. That they are using them in their program of empire building, who can doubt. Just what they are doing, no one has the faintest information. Most of the timber that grows in the Philippines is what is called "Philippine Mahogany," although there are more than a hundred other commercial species of hardwoods produced in those Islands, many of them immeasurably higher in quality than the regular "Philippine."
But the Philippines are not the only great areas of the Western Pacific that grow hardwoods in great forests. The
best authority we know estimates that in Burma, Thailand, and Indo China there stands 500 billion feet of commercial timber. fn Borneo there is 400 billion feet. New Guinea and tributary islands hold about 300 billion feet. These estimates are the best available at the moment. As far as the United States is concerned the Japs grabbed the world's supply of Teak-that great boat-building wood-lvhen they took over the Philippines, Burma, and Borneo. Most of our Teak came from Rangoon and Bangkok. It was used mainly for the superstructure of ships such as decking, deck-houses, rails, etc. Some Teak used to come from India, but not now. While the United States got the bulk of shipments of Philippine hardwoods before the war, the other islands such as the Netherlands East Indies, Borneo, and many other wooded islands, shipped their wood products to England and other E"uropean countries. We got little of it. Borneo is bigger than the Philippines, and nearly as heavily timbered. One authority fixes the reserved forests of Borneo at approximately twenty million acres. Not many accurate figures are available. Away back in the year 1915 Northern Borneo alone shipped twenty million feet of hardwood lumber and timbers, mostly to Hongkong and the British. That will furnish some idea of the value of the timbered possessions of that one Island.
Several months ago the Japanese radio announced the confiscation of all forests in the Netherlands East Indies, and said that the Jap government was strongly promoting the production of Teak in those islands. There are n.o natural forests of any size in Java. There they grorv Teak like they do rubber trees.
All we can do is guess what is happening to the 1700 billion feet of valuable hardwood timber in the island possessions of the Japs today. But their value will compare favorably with any other source of wealth taken over by the invaders. Well qualified authorities estimate the value of the timber in the Philippines alone at four billion dollars. If the other timber possessions secured are worth anything like as much, then it might be shown that the Japs secured more actual rvealth in timber than they did in rubber, or in any other properties attained by their invasions.
And the civilized world lost its greatest reservoir of cabinet woods, for it is unlikely that all the rest of the world grows as much valuable hardwood timber as can be found in the Philippines, New Guinea, Borneo, Burma, Thailand, and Indo China combined.
Which is another splendid physical, economic, and financial reason for destroying the aggression of the Japs,
Washington, May l2.-Internal adjustments of ceiling prices for stock screen goods were announced today by the Office of Price Administration in an action which cushioned the pressure of advancing raw materials and labor costs so that consumers' price's generally will remain unchanged from their present March, 1942, levels.
A squeeze on the production level since July, 1942, was relaxed by the new regulation which permits an increase in price to the manufacturer of.7.5 per cent on southern pine and hardwood screen products and holds Ponderosa pine screen goods at the existing level. The increase is absorbed mainly by retailers whose margins are reduced about 7.5 per cent and jobbers whose margins are reduced about 4 per cent.
To the consumer the action means an advance of about 4 per cent of General Maximum Price Regulation prices for southern pine and hardwood screen products and a reduction of 3.3 per cent in the March, 1942, retail prices for Ponderosa pine. Since Ponderosa pine products comprise 55 per cent of the screen goods sold annually, the reduction in the items accounting for the larger part of the volume balances the increase so that the general level of consumer prices remains about the same.
The action-Maximum Price Regulation 381 (Stock Screen Goods), effective May 17,1943, covers screen doors, combination screen and storm doors, extension window screens, and knocked-down window screen frames in pat_ ters, specifications and sizes which are all listed in the regulation. Sales by manufacturers, jobbers, wholesalers, retailers, and mail order houses are afiected.
However, combination storm and screen doors included in direct mill sales of 15,00O pounds or more of stock mill_ work which moves by rail to one or more places or of 12,000 pounds or more of stock millwork which moves by truck to a single destination are not covered by today,s action and remain under Maximum price Regulation No. 293 (Stock Millwork).
At a conference of the Lumber and Lumber products Division, War Production Board, and attended by tech_ nicians of the Forest Products Laboratory.and other gov_ ernment agencies, it was decided that phenolic resin glues should be the approved bonding materials for the laminat_ ing of solid wood parts for marine use.
It was agreed that only phenolic resin glues would pro_ vide a strong enough waterproof bond durable in salt wa_ ter, and that urea glue should not be used because of its lack of efficien,cy under marine conditions.
Accordingly, WPB has set up a pilot plant under the supervision of the Forest Products Laboratory of Madison, Wisconsin, to determine technical manufacturing proce_ dures and to recommend suita,ble specifications io avoid poor workmanship and unsatisfactory material entering this important program.

Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, From glen to glen and down the mountain side, The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's f'il be here, in strnshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny Boy, I love you, love you so. >k**
"Danny Boy," of which the above is the first of the only two stanzas, has become one of the most beloved of all war songs. The words were writtenby Fred E. Weatherly, who achieved the creation of an immortal sob song out of what was one of England's happiest folk songs. "Londonderry Air" is the name of the tune of "Danny Boy," and has been sung for generations in Britain as a kindlS happy song. Mr. Weatherly wrote the words of "Danny Boy" to that air, creating two of the most pathetic stanzas in English literature. The second and last vers€ goes:
But when ye come and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
During the first World War the great foreign songstress, Madame Schumann-Heink, began singing "Danny Boy" as a war song, and the beautiful music and heart-broken words caught public fancy like a prairie fire. It became her favorite song, and in history will be forever coupled with her name. She is gone now. But "Danny Boy" will live as long as the human heart responds to beautiful words of love and devotion.
If the philosophy in the following little poem is true, then the millions of Victory Gardens growing throughout this land will bring to us something even better than the green and growing things. It was Dorothy Frances Gurney who wrote:
"The kiss of the siln for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth, One is nearer God's heart in a garden, Than anywhere else on earth."
England has come to look upon her late great poet, Rudyard Kipling, not only as a most gifted and inspired poet, but even as a prophet. In "The Lady of the Lake," Sir Walter Scott makes his mountain soothsayer explain his gift of prophecy in this way: "Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore, and coming events cast their shadows before." Don't know to what source Kipling would ascribe his successful prophecies were he alive today, but that he had some most definite premonitions, cannot be denied. For instance, in his poem "The Islanders," we find him warning complacent people about the necessity for arming the British fsles for defense from without, in this way:
{< rl. ,1.
, "But ye say 'It will mar our comfort.' Ye say'It will minish our trade.' Do ye wait for the spattered shrapnel
Ere ye learn how a gun is laid?
For the low, red glare to the Southward, When the raided coast towns burn?
Light ye shall have on that lessonBut little time to learn." **,i
General John J. Pershing was for many years credited to a large degree with the authorship of those now famous words of the first World War-"Lafayette, we are here !" But Pershing, always honorable as becomes a great soldier, at all times denied that he was the man. And finally when the General published his memoirs in 1931, he paid tribute therein to the real author of the phrase, Col. C. E. Stanton. Up to that time Col. Stanton had said little on the subject, but when Pershing thus pointed him out, he admitted the authorship, and told of the occasion. He said that the address containing the phrase was made at Pic Pus Cemetery, Paris, France, July 4, 1917, and was the culmination of the peroration in the speech. Col. Stanton preserved the original manuscript. While it was undoubtedly his most famous remark and will go down into American history with many others of the better lorown patriotic slogans, it was
not exactly what might be called a ..fash in the pan.,' For they do say that Col. Stanton was a most gifted speaker with a well known aptitude for strihing and unusual phraseology, and that for many years he was a great favorite on Army programs, social and otherwise, and was not only a fine orator but a remarkably fine story teller. **!t
As this is written the nation is nearly as deeply disturbed over labor matters as it is thrilled over the grand feats of arms of our soldiers. Law makers, seeking authority for legislating against strikes during this emergency, might find them in many of the words of a certain Carpenter of Nazareth who worked at His trade and took pride in His workmanship, and who said to His fellow workers: (Luke, Chapter 3, Verse 14) ; "And Jesus said to them, .do violence to no man-and be content with your wages."' ,f**
Speaking of the labor situation (and who, kind friends, does NOT speak of the labor situation in these days of strikes and strike threats?) did you ever stop to think what would happen if the FARMERS of the nation went out on strike? As Mr. Shakespeare wrote: ..awake your senses that you may the better judge," and give that possibility a little thought. The farmer (whom all thinking men are worrying about since food has become so scarce and so vital) works anywhere from Z0 to g0 hours a week Suppose he gets tired of hearing all this strike threat tal! short day and week talk, over-time demands, etc., and rising up on his hind legs decides and announces that he is golng to play the one-sided game in which he finds himself, no longer ! Suppose he says he'll work like other war workers, no longer, no harder, for no less pay, for no less overtime, and with no fewer privileges, such as union rules, etc. ! Suppose he says that from now forward he's going to act as though he had equal rights with other workers, the same privileges as other men, and unless he gets them, the old plow is going to rust in the furrow, the old reaper in the shed! What then? ***
You know what then! We'd all starve! That's all. We rivould not only go on short rations quick, but so would millions of other people all over the world who are now eating our good grub via the Lend-Lease route. Our war effort would bog down like a General Grant tank in a river of quicksand ! Our whole national set-up would explode
with a sharp report, and come down in a fine drizzl* pronto ! Tdk about a threatened strike that would really scare people ! A farmer's strike would make all othei strikes combined look like a Sunday School picnic t Of course the farmer isn't going to strike ! He's too good a citizen to even threaten it. He's going to keep right on getting the short end of the stick atall times and he's going to keep on working twice as long as the other fellow, for half the pay. He knows he could upset the old apple cart right in the middle of the stream if he wanted to be as means as some folks, but he isn't built that way. Seems to me there's a touch of the Good Samaritan in the farmer. He knows he is getting a bum deal, but works all the harder because the nation is in trouble and has to have help. I admire this farmer tremendously. IIe's a helpful, loyal citizen. And if someone asks you who is the most important guy on the home front-the one who is doing a lot more than anyone else to help win this -a1'-/ou needn,t hesitate for a moment for your reply; it's the fellow who works long hours for short pay so that others can work short hours for long pay-and keeps right on working. He may gripe a little-who wouldn't-but he never stops plowing, God Bless him !
Which reminds me of the farmer who wrote in to his weekly paper. He said he was happy to report that the cost of living was definitely dropping in the county seat stores; cucumbers that had been 29 cents each, were on sale for 25 cents each. He continued: ..As many of them nasty things as I've throwed at woodpeckers all my life, f never expected to live to see them piled on a counter on pink paper and marked two bits each.,' **r*
And then there was the farmer who took an extra swallow of hard cider and was heard to remark to one of his friends that whoever married his daughter Jane would certainly get a prize. The next day eleven soldiers showed up from the near-by army camp to find out what the prize vyas.

George R. StratemeYer, vicd-president of the California Panel & Veneer Company, Los Angeles, retired from active business on May 31. He was the company's oldest employe, and went to work for them in 1918 as a salesman, sPecializing in hardrvood plywoods and veneers, calling on the commercial and retail lumber trade.
George had the friendship and esteem of all he had business dealings with, and they learned to appraise him as a splendid gentleman. He was the kind of a man the lumbermen liked to do business with. He did a fine job for his company and did his work in a most skillful and intelligent fashion. The dealers will miss his friendly calls'
As a conclusion to a very successful business career, the officials and employes gave him a party and big send-off at the company's offices, and he was the recipient of some beautiful gifts. His home is in Montebello but he plans to spend much of the time at his ranch in Riverside.
R. Mulholland, who has been with the company since 1923, and president of the Baker Steel & Tube Co., will succeed him as vice-president of the California Panel & Veneer Company.

Machinery for the planing mill has been purchased and is norv being installed.
Published minimun trucking rates for the State of.Washington have been established as the charges to be used in calculating delivered prices for West Coast logs to destinations other than in towable waters, the Office of Price Administration announced.
Previously, sellers used their actual transportation truck costs in calculating these delivered prices. This had the disadvantage of uncertainty and lack of uniformity, and caused some undesirable diversion of logs.
The new rates are provided in Amendment No. 4 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 161 (West Coast Logs), and become effective May 24, 1943.
The amendment also makes the following two additions to the regulation:
1. It establishes fixed additions which may be made to prices of logs of long lengths.
2. It fixes a price on a new grade of "ponton logs," when allocated by the War Production Board.
The new schedule of transportation charges will be applicable to shipments of logs for Oregon as well as Washington, sin,ce no corresponding set of rates is available for Oregon.
"The Washington rates represent a very convenient standard for arriving at a fixed basis from which to compute trucking costs, and have been adopted as a standard solely for that reason," OPA said.
The new rates are as follows:
1. By rail. The common carrier rail rates.
2. By Truck: A base rate of $1.06 per 1,000 feet of logs, boardfeet measure, to whi'ch shall be added the follorving rates per 1,000 feet per mile (including any fraction of a mile) :
Class "A" Roads, 8f cents; Class "A-1" Roads 9f cents; Class "B" Roads, 13 cents; Class "C" Roads, 16 cents; Class "D" Roads. 27 cemts.

A serious handicap in the paper-making industry and in the procurement of the necessary pulp from which moit types of paper is made was removed by the ruling of the War Manpower Commission placing the cutting of pulp wood, and the manufacture of pulp as well as certain kinds of paper, in the categories of essential activities, Arthur G. Wakeman, director of the WPB Pulp and papei Division, stated today at Washington.
The paper shortage which has confronted the country for some time resulted from shortages in certain types o{ essential pulp used in the manufacture of paper, and in turn that shortage lvas due to the fact that not enough suitable wood was being cut, Wakeman explained.
Carrying the protrlem one step further, the failure in thc woods was directly due to lack of manpower and the fact that while lumbering and woodcutting in general were con_ sidered as essential occupations by the WMC, many wood cutters 'll'ere drafted or transferred to other activities.
With the publication of the Activities Occupational Bul_ letin, No. 27, which lists the production of pulp, paperboard and certain converted products as essential activities and many workers in this industry as in essential occupation, the pulp and paper division believes many of its -anpo*e, problems will be materially reduced.
In line with its policy of decentralization, the WpB has raised the dollar limit of pD-lA applications processed in the field from 9100 to 9500, efiective May g.
Beginning May 8, all PD-IA applications involving not more than $500 worth of material on which priority assist_ ance is requested have been processed in either the District or Regional Offices according to the direction of the respect_ ive Regional Directors, except where specifically otherwise directed by the Director of the Distribution Bureau.
In all other caSes, PD-IA applications have been for_ warded by each field office to Washington, D. C., for rout_ ing in accordance with the regular procedure for process_ ing such forms in Washington.
The new order means that norv more than eighty per cent of all PD-1A applications will be handled entirely by the field offices.

"Existing homes" market continugs to hold an important position in Southern California under current war conditions as indicated in the volume of FHA-insured refinancing business since January, 1943, when nearly 1400 applications for insurance of home loans, involving eiisting properties, were received by the Los Angeles FHA office report of Wilson G. Bingham, S. C. District Director, FHA, disclosed.
It is particularly significant that the total dollar amount of such refinanced mortgages exceeds seven million dollars for this period as compared with approximately 1500 applications representing seven million dollars plus, for the comparable period of. 1942.
"Existing homes must necessarily be depended upon during the war to supply the housing and shelter demands of the home seeker in Southern California localities, except in those defense areas where in-migration of war workers requires a program of construction of new residences," Mr. Bingham said.
Wooden sailing vessels run the submarine blockade with little difficulty. tlndersea raiders depend on listening devices to hear approaching ships, or magnetic devices to detect metal hulls. Wooden sailing ships, with neither motors nor metal hulls, pass by unnoticed.
A total of 1,016 publicly and privately-financed new war housing units to cost approximately one million dollars have been authorized for construction in four California communities, it was announced.
Eugene Weston, Jr., NHA regional representative, said the new housing program calls for the construction oi 160 publicly-financed family units in Fairfield, 140 publiclyfinanced family units in Vacaville and 576 dormitory units in that area. The total expenditures for this construction will be approximately $775,000.
Fifty public family units, 50 dormitory units and 10 privately financed family units have been authorized for King City at an approximate cost of $160,000. ' Also approved are 30 publicly financed family units for construction in Keddie. Calif.
Alley Bros. have been engaged for some time in getting out and producing Douglas Fir aircraft lumber. The work is done partly at their Medford, Ore., sarn'mill, where they cut the aircraft cants from the logs, and partly at their special aircraft sawmill at Santa Monica.
E,d Fountain Lumber Co., Los Angeles, are sales agents for this lumber.
All species of softwood lumber in addition to white pine produced in New England states, Pennsylvania and New York are brought under dollars and cents ceilings. Specific maximums also are established for same species of softwood produced in Canada east of the B5th meridian and sold to consumers in U. S. (Revised Maximum Price Regulation ?re).
W. F. Fahs, manager of California Panel & Veneer Co., Los Angeles, was appointed a member of the Plywood Distributors lndustry Advisory Committee. He attended the committee's first meeting in Washington, D. C., on April 16, making the trip by air both ways.
Mr. and Mrs. William E. Cooper were at home at 1370 Old Mill Road, San Marino, on Sunday afternoon, May 16, in honor of Mr. Cooper's fiftieth business anfliversary. More than 300 called during the afternoon, and assisting receive u'ere his two daughters and son, Mrs. Robert Garrison, Mrs. George Bradford, and Charles M. Cooper.
Mr. Cooper began his business career at Merrimac, Wis., in 1893, where he was adm'itted to partnership in his father's lumber business, and the following year he purchased his father's interest. He has several retail vards in Wisconsin, and also has other business interests.
He came to California in 1912, and in 1920 organized the W. E. Cooper Lumber Company at 2035 East 15th Street, Los Angeles, specializing in hardwoods. The retail and wholesale departments were segregated in 1933, the retail yard being moved to 4650 West Pico Boulevard and placed in charge of his son, Charles M. Cooper. The offices of the wholesale department were moved to the Richfield Building in downtown Los Angeles in 1941.
G. C. Snyman, formerly Regional Manager for the Carrier Corporation, International Division, and more recently an executive with Bell Aircraft Corporation, has been appointed manager of the Overseas Division of The Celotex Corporation, Chicago, it has been announced by Henry W. Collins, Vice President.
In announcing the appointment, Mr. Collins said: "Celotex anticipates a tremendous expansion in overseas trade after the war. The post-war housing requirements of Europe, the Orient, Mexico and South America will tax the American building industry's capacity to produce the materials for rehabilitation and neu' construction. The demand should be. particularly heavy for Celotex materials which facilitate quick, inexpensive construction and also for its products which are adaptable to the repair, remodeling and improvement of damaged structures."

James lives on a mountain Where tall trees fret the stars, And daylight dies in splendor Behind the sunset bars; His little cabin nestles Neath sheltering fir and pine, And round its rustic doorway The sweet wild roses twine.
Ivan has a mansion In the city far away, The human tides surge by it With sounds of toil and play; Upon the stony pavement The sultry sunbeams fall, And gild with garish beauty Each tovver and spire and wall.
Out in the sun kissed desert Don Manuel loves to dwell. And of its weird enchantments Ife never fails to tell; The shifting sand that shimmers, Lorv, barren hills that burn, The dim mirage that beckons, For these his true heart yearns.
And so on hill and desert, And through the city street, A gentle spirit leads us With whispers low and sweet; And though our feet may wander From east to golden west, It's home our hearts are seeking And our own home is best.

A. S. Nicholson, well known Canadian timber authority, in a recent address to a Canadian lumber association estimated that the production of lumber in the Dominion this year will be slightly more than four and one-half billion feet. He made the following estimates by district: British Columbia Coast area, 1,600,000,000 feet; Southern British Columbia, 150,000,000 feet; Northern British Columbia, 200,000,000 feet; Nova Scotia, 400,000,000 feet; New Brunswick, 350,000,000 feet; Quebec, 900,000,000 feet; Ontario, 550,000,000 feet; the Prairie provinces, 350,000,000 feet; total 4,500,000,000 feet. Labor shortage is the big problem there as everywhere else.
The Government of Canada recently issued an order permitting the employment of Japanese loggers in the lumber woods. Reports from British Columbia state that some of these Japs have returned to work. They can be employed only on crown lands in non-defense areas in the interior. The plan was to release loggers from these areas so they could go to the Coast to work, in the areas where Japs are barred, and where such restrictions have made the labor situation extremely acute.
This is in British Columbia, Canada. One of the vagaries of the war is the report from Vancouver, that a shortage of heavy leather for making the very heavy protective gloves without which many of the men who work in the logging woods of that area could not possibly give service, threatens a cut-down of log production. For in those woods they log with heavy steel rigging, and heavy wire rope, and chains, and hooks, and various other materials and equipment that can only be handled by well protected hands. We find the B. C. Loggers Association recently petitioning the Canadian Government to release restrictions on horsehide. and cowhide to enable the glove makers to get the sort of materidl they must have to keep the loggers-in action. ft seems that such material was heavily restricted last October.
The beautiful city of Victoria, British Columbia, has been celebrating its hundredth anniversary this year. It is also the hundredth anniversary of the opening of one of the world's greatest timber stands, that of Vancouver Island. James Douglas, factor of the Hudson Bay Company, picked the site and began cutting into those forests for room for town, fort, and farms, in 1843. The first sawmill
was built in 1846. It cut 2,000 feet daily-less than one Fir log. The first steam mill was built in 1852. It is estimated that 7L per cent of all the remaining timber in British Columbia is on Vancouver Island. The first trees were cut from thiS stand by Capt. Cook, famous navigator and explorer, in 1778, for masts and spars for his ships.
A commentator in South Africa states that a little Douglas Fir from Canada, a little Short Leaf Yellow Pine from the Gulf is all the outside luhrber supply that part of the world is getting. Most of the current stocks of lumber in Johannesburg, for instance, is locally grown lumber, mostly pines. Up to January first, 1943, lumber locally produced could be sold and used without restriction of any kind, but effective that date 80 per cent of all lumber stocks were frozen, regardless of origin, and merchants were only allowed to sell 2O per cent without a permit from the Government. It is estimated that South African Government forests will produce 23,000,000 cubic feet of lumber this year, about doubling last year's output. Before the war lumber imports into South Africa averaged 27W,000 cubic feet (324,000,000 board feet) per year. Imports this year will be close to the vanishing point. Private building other than on farms, has practically stopped in South Africa.
All lumber purchases for Australia from the North American Continent are made through the Commonwealth of Australia War Supplies Procurement at Washington, D. C., headed by L, R. McGregor, Australian Trade Commissioner to the United States. In Australia, as in the United States and Great Britain, crating materials are the predominating lumber items used, fully one-third of all the lumber consumed in Australia now being for crating and boxing and shipping. Reports state that small quantities of Fir have been reaching both Australia and New Zealand from British Columbia, mostly in the shape of square timbers for re-sawing. The fact that they have increased the number of lumber dry kilns operating in Australia to 700 shows the effort that is being made down under for the production of local lumber to replace the large amounts formerly imported. The Australian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is doing much work investigating the properties of all the native grown woods for war purposes. They particularly search for wood for airplane construc'tion. Many domestic iirdustries formerly using imported woods only, have now developed excellent sources of supply right at home. For instance, they are making their own match wood. Australia has worked in concert with New Zealand in helping each other with their wood needs.
fn January, 1942,the Government of New Zealand,declared logging and lumbering to be an essential industry, thereby giving the lumber industry of that Commonwealth some needed protection against losing their crews to the armed forces. In 1942, the lumber production of New Zealand was 310, 000,000 board feet, a small falling ofi from the previous year due to man shortage. During the year 1941, New Zealand imported 18,000,000 feet of -hardwood lumber from Australia. By Government order all the Insignia Pine (Pinus radiata) consumed in New Zealand is used exclusively for the manufacture of wooden containers, and the wooden container business was declared an essential industry.
Reports from British West Indies show that the only lumber or wood supplies imported so far this year has been some British Columbia Red Cedar Shingles and some box shook. This was railed to Gulf ports, and re-shipped. Reports from Jamaica state that because of the lack of import lumber, domestic hardwoods have come into great demand, and their production has been considerably increased.
According to the Timber Trades Journal, published in London, shortage of manpower and the taking of key men from the lumber industry is one of the main handicaps of lumber productinon in England and Scotland. Many American lumbermen will probably be surprised to know that those Islands have a lumber industry, bu! according to British publications they have a very large and growing one, and hugely important to the war effort. With their normal supply of lumber of many kinds from the United States, Canada, Africa, and the Western Pacific territories shut ofr, Britain has had to turn her eyes homeward, and take up accelerated,production of lumber and wood items from her own forests. What those forests amount to, we do not know. What the species are, is rather vague. But that there are forests, both privately and Governmentally owned, which are supplying the war effort with large quantities of lumber and wood items, is a known fact. As a matter of fact, England cut away a great deal of her home forests during World 'War One, and as a result of the lessons then learned, she planted very extensive Government forests in the years immediately following that war, and so has been growing her present war needs for twenty years past.
British Columbia, Canada, is shipping lumber continually to Great Britain. How much is a military secret. But the journals state that it is mostly shipped by rail to Eastern Canadian ports, and then across the Atlantic, although some is loaded on ships in British Columbia waters.
"'W'ood," published in London, quotes Gerald Lenanton, Director of Home Grown Timber Production, as stating that in 1942, seventy-five per cent of the wood consumed in Great Britain was home g'rown, and that he plans to increase it to ninety per cent. This contrasts with prewar

days when ninety per cent of Britain's sawn lumber came from abroad.
"No subject at the annual meeting of the English Timber Merchant's Association in London," says the Timber Trades Journal, "produced such evidence of strong feeling as that relating to the withdrawal of key labor from the industry. Major Newsum told of a communication from his local Man Power Board intimating that six of his timber fallers were to be withdrawn in the next few days, and the fate of five others hangs in the balance. Axe men are the very root of the home timber production job, and the question was asked 'f{ow can the Ministry of Supply and the Director of Home Timber Production hope to get the production they want and need this year if another Ministry through the Man Power Boards is drawing away key men from the industry?"' Sounds like an American situation, doesn't it?
All British authorities agree that there is going to be a terrific need for housing when the .ivar ends, both in England and Scotland. Postwar housing plans are getting much attention from the British papers and magazines. Prefabrication of wooden houses instead of the proverbial brick and stone houses and apartments are being freely discussed. The authorities in Scotland report that no more important task will fall to them after the war, than providing adequate housing facilities for their people. Looks like the rebuilding of housing in a war-torn world is going to be one of, the greatest of the postwar problems.
In the U. S. we have our armies of WAACS, WAVES, and others of the female persuasion. They have all that sort of thing in England, too, but they have another army America has heard nothing about as yet-the "Lumberjills." These are the female "Lumberjacks." They exist and operate in both England and Scotland. In the childhood rhyme Jack and Jill went up the hill after water. In real life in Britain these days, the Jills go up the hills by themselves, to get logs and lumber needed for the war effort.
They are a branch of the Women's Land Army, and are called the Women's Land Army Timber Corps. Their work and enlistment is strictly voluntary. They can quit any time they want to. They are given thirty days training at a former country mansion house at Angus, Scotland. During this training they are urged to quit right then if they feel the jobs do not fit them. Very few of them quit. Recruiting for this Corps started in April, 1942. It was a success from the start. Today there are "many thousands" of them.
They are all girls of strong physique, aged 17 to 40. Their work is establishing camps, installing portable sawmills, cutting the timber, making it ,into lumber, shipping it, then thoroughly cleaning up the area, and moving the camp and mill and equipment to some more timber that has been selected for them. They use the hand ax, the felling ?.x, the crosscut saw; thev learn to handle tractors, buggies, and trucks which carry the logs and lumber, and all the jobs in the small sawmills. In fact, they do all the work of logging the land and cutting and shipping the lumber. Most of the camps are in isolated territory. Entertainment is furnished since there is seldom any to be had locally, no stores to visit, no places to spend money. They have radios, record-playing machines, books, g'ames, etc. Most of the wood cut is softwood. and most of the timber is small, so there are no jobs that strong women cannot handle.
The National Housing Agency has approved a program calling for the construction in Northern California of an additional 483 housing units, publicly and privately financed, for war workers.

A certain flying instructor at an army camp recently made a parachute landing that got him a lot of good natured kidding.
He was up in a training ship with one of his students, who was well advanced in flying. The instructor, having plenty of faith in the student, told him some things to do, and then fell asleep in the rear cockpit. The student did as he was told, then seeing his teacher fast asleep, returned to the landing field and put the plane down easily and softly. Since the teacher still slept the student grinned to himself and left.
Some time later the instructor woke suddenly, and the first thing that struck his mind was that there was no student in the front seat. The silence told him the motor was not running. In his sleepy state he instantly figured that the motor had stalled and the student had bailed out. Instantly he rolled over the side of the plane, pulling thi rip cord as he did. He landed on the concrete runway and broke his collar bone. And was he embarrassed?

The young reporter had been lectured about padding his stories, getting in too many uninteresting details. So when a fatal accident took place in the highest building in town, he reported it this way:
"Bill Walker, the janitor, looked up the elevator shaft in the Jones Building this morning to see if the elevator was running. It was. Aged 52 Funeral Tuesday morning, 11 :30."
This happened before the war. Business was bad with the clothing jobber. He had 49 overcoats he couldn't sell, and the winter was passing rapidly. He told a friend about it, and the friend gave him this advice. "Pick out seven country stores, and ship them seven overcoats each, but invoice each of them for only six, making the bill take care of the seven. They will think you've made a mistake in their favor, and will promptly remit for the six." It looked like an idea, so the jobber did it. To his great disgust all seven of the country merchants returned the six coats mentioned in the bill, and kept the extra one. Honesty, you see, is the best policy. But for who?
A draftee from New York's East Side filled in his draft papers showing himself to be Abe Cohen, C.P.A.
The camp they sent him to was sadly in need of bookkeepers, so he was quickly assigned to that department, where he proceeded to make a mess of things. When the officers finally discovered that he couldn't add two and two and get four if they spotted him the "fou," one of them called him on the carpet. 'llhe soldier protested that he knew nothing whatever about bookkeeping or accounting.
"Then for heaven's sake," said the officer, "why did you call yourself a C.P.A. in your original papers?"
"That's my business," replied Cohen. "Cleaning, Press. ing, and Alterations,"

Maximum prices for rough green No. 1 aircraft poplar lumber were "rolled back" to 90 per cent of their former prices by the Office of Price Administration in order to create a "spread" between prices of the rough lumber and aircraft wood ready for use by the fabricator.
The "Spread," which provides a margin of profit for the re-manufacturer of rough green lumber for the processing and refining he performs, is established in Amendment No. 5 to Maximum Price Regulation No. l0g (Aircraft Lumber), and becomes effective May 27,1943.
Under the regulation as originally written, prices for aircraft lumber were set up to apply to any seller, no matter whether the seller was an originating mill or an intermediate re-manufacturing plant.
It has since developed, however, that a large number of originating mills do not have the equipment necessary to prepare poplar lumber to the degree of refinement that it would be immediately ready for use by the fabricator of airplane parts without further basic preparation.
To give a margin of profit to intermediate operators who purchase rough green poplar aircraft grades from the mills and perform a refining or re-manufacturing process on such lumber, maximum prices for rough green aircraft lumber are now established at 90 per cent of their former levels.

Direction No. 1 to CMP Regulation No. 3 has been revised to indicate that its intention is to place rated orders of dealers, distributors, and jobbers on a par with orders in the same rating band bearing allotment numbers or svmbols, the War Production Board announ,ced today. The Direction does not have the effect of granting rated orders of dealers, distributors, and jobbers preference over other orders in the same rating band not bearing allotment numbers or symbols.
This means that a dealer's order rated AA-1 would have preference equal to a manufacturer's order rated AA-1 bearing an allotment number. However, the dealer's order rated AA-1 would not displace a manufacturer's order rated AA-1 in a production schedule.
The Direction has also been revised to apply the equality of dealers', distributors', and jobbers' rated orders to all such orders. Previouslv it applied only to those placed prior to April 7, L943, calling for delivery not later than June 30, 1943.

Distribution yards may continue until July 1 to sell soft. wood lumber at prices reflecting transportation rates in effect before May 15, 1943, although the 6 per cent general increase in freight rates granted the railroads last year has been rescinded as of the latter date. However, after July 1, the savings resulting from the deduction will be passed on to consumers, the Office of Price Administration announced.
"Naturally, present stocks in distribution yards were purchased under higher freight rates than those which will be in effect after May 15," OPA said. "However, the permitted selling prices for these stocks, according to Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 (Distribution Yard Sales of Softwood Lumber), must be computed on the basis of rates prevailing at the time of sale. It follows, that in disposing of their present stocks, distribution yards would not be compensated for the inbound transportation costs actually borne in acquiring such stocks. The net effect is a devaluation of such stocks to the extent of the reduction in freight rates. This results in undue hardship. and some form of relief is necessary.
"An amendment to Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 has been drawn, therefore, to extend relief to the distribution yards by permitting the use of present rates (those in effect prior to May 15, 1943), in calculating inbound trans. portation for a period of approximately 45 days after the effective date of the freight rate reduction. This should permit the distribution yard substantially to dispose ol stocks on hand on the basis of the freight rate actually paid by them for such stocks."
The enabling amendment is Amendment No. 6 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 215, and became effective May 15, 1943.
After July 1, the actual carload rate in effect at the time of sale by the distribution yard shall be used in calculating inbound transportation.

Henry M. Luellwitz, president of the Anglo California Lumber Co. at Los Angeles, passed away suddenly at his home in Beverly Hills early Thursday morning, May fr, following a heart attack. He was forty years of age and was born in Spokane, Wash.
He was connected with the lumber business for many years, and was associated with his father, Gus Luellwitz, well known Los Angeles lumberman and president of the Globe Lumber Co.. until about 1931.

The world's most valuable wood-fine pieces worth more than their weight in gold-is Thuya, the wood with which King Solomon lined his temple. It is a dappled red brown in color, as fragrant as spice, and grows only on the Atlas Mountains in Algeria. Cabinet-makers use it for the finest inlays and marguetries.
The whitest cabinet-maker'S wood is holly. Most people see it only as the black keys on pianos, or violin pegs and tailpieces, dyed to simulate ebony. In its natural white it is used for inlays and marguetry.
As a further contribution of the forest products industries to the war metal-saving program, frozen eggs are now being packed in cellophane, with an outside covering of cardboard. Trees are the chief source of cellulose, from which cellophane is made, and cardboard is made of woodPulp.
The average American uses during his lifetime the wood in 400 trees. The American forest products industribs are planting new trees at a greater rate than that.
Nearly three-fourths of America's timber stand is wood.

All lengths of yellow poplar, water tupelo and sweet gum logs are placed by OPA under the dollars-and-cents ceiling established for prime grade hardwood logs in an action which substantially reduces the prices currently being charted for short logs less than eight feet in length and logs with lengths over 16 feet in length. At the same time, OPA encourages continued production of small diameter sizes of prime grade hardwotd logs by raising exisiing ceilings on the smaller sizes at the request of WPB and the War Department. The advance ranges from $5 in some diameter sizes to $20 in others. The ceiling on the largest sizes of logs, those 28 inches or more in diameter, is reduced $10 per 1,000 feet log scale (MPR 313, Amendment 4), effective Mav 19.

On April l8th, 1943, the George E. Breece Lumber Company blew the final whistle for its big plant at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the dismantling oi the extensive buildings is already under way. These consist of the former big mill, planer and millwork plant, kilns, sheds, etc. The mill site has been sold to the Santa Fe Land & Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railway.
The liquidation of the once great lumber business of the George E. Breece Lumber Company has been under way for several years, and was accelerated when George E. Breece died in January of last year. Mr. Breece had been a lumber manufacturer in West Virginia, where he was born and raised. He moved to Louisiana and engaged in the sawmilling business there, and then went to New Mexico where he created a very extensive lumber business. He built a big mill at Albuquerque, and bought some tremendous tracts of timber land in that vicinity. He built a large and very modern sawmill at Alamagordo. Before his death he leased the Alamagordo plant to M. R. Prestridge, who organized the M. R. Prestridge Lumber Company to operate it. With this mill went large Indian Service timber cutting contracts. With this lease went an option to sell, and Mr. Prestridge exercised his option and bought the mill and timber contracts. The plant is equipped with a band headrig, resaw, and edger, and is electrically driven.
For some time the sawmill at Albuquerque has been closed down but the Breece company has been operating a string of small sawmills in a great stand of timber in the Zuni Mountains near Grants, and bringing the green, rough output of these mills to Albuquerque for dressing, drying, and marketing. Also they have taken in like fashion the output of the Indian Service sawmill at Fort Defiance, Arizonia. The Breece company had made all their plans on closing the Albuquerque plant to install a planing mill of about 75,00O feet daily capacity at Grants, to handle the
products of those small mills, but on account of the labor situation they have decided to postpone any such action until more favorable conditions exist, and in the meantime they will ship the product of the small mills rough, mostly to factories.
The Breece timber holdings are still large, consisting of 250,000 acres of timbered land, mostly virgin, with more than fifty million feet of standing timber; also they have considerable timber stumpage under cutting contract. They used to have a logging road from this timber to Grants; but took it up two years ago when the Government called for unused steel. C. O. Breece, brother of the late George E. Breece, is president of the company, and Tom M. Stribling is vice-president and general manager. Mr. Stribling has a son in the armed forces, and at present stationed at Camp Swift, Texas. The late George E. Breece had three sons, all of whom preceded him in death.
Announcement is also made of the sale by Mrs. George E. Breece of "La Tapia del Camino Real," which is one of the famous show places of the Rio Grande Valley. This consists of a handsome twelve-room house, sixteen-acre apple orchard, and spacious landscaped grounds including a beautiful rock garden of great size. The late Col. Breece designed this as a summer home, but made it his full time residence. Mrs. Breece has moved to Albuquerque to reside.
The big mill at Alamagordo is in full time operation by the M. R. Prestridge Lumber Company, and practically the entire output of Ponderosa Pine is marketed in New Mexico and West Texas.
Specific ceilings for various grades of beech lumber are announced by OPA in an action making several other important changes in the northern hardwood lumber regulation (MPR 223, Amendment 5), effective May 4.
The total lumber requirements for construction and all other uses will total approximately 31,500,00O,000 (thirtyone billion five hundred million) board feet in 1943, it was announced today by the War Production Board.
The lumber consumption estimate, which includes the lumber which may be required by this country for use outside of the United States, was prepared by the War Production Board and the U. S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. It includes lumber to be used in boxing, crating, factory, and construction, as well as for military uses.
The present forcast provides for prospective construction under severe limitations and does not provide for any unusual catastrophe or for replenishing depleted stocks. Since lumber stocks are at the lowest point in several years, it is not at all certain that production will be high enough to enable consumers of lumber for war purposes to get what they need during the year. While active steps are being taken to increase production, so that the major war consumers can be assured of their requirements, consumption of lumber must be limited to actual production.
Lumber requirements for new construction in the United States in 1943 will total approximately 11,000,000,000 (eleven billion) board feet.
DOGWOOD
Entire production of dogr,r,ood is restricted by WpB to manufacture of shuttles and other textile machinery parts because of scarcity of the material.
The Public Relations Department of American Forest Products Industries, Inc. has just added two new types of pictorial information to its bibliography of educational materials dealing with the forests and the forest harvest.
The first is a forest products chart, Products of American Forests, which breaks into classified form several hundred forest harvest derivatives. It will take its place in the AFPI educational kit during March. Printed in three colors and produced by the off-set frrocess, the 25x30 inches wall chart segregates forest products into four main classifications: Products derived from sawlogs, wood chemistry, veneer processes, and miscellaneous, the latter including naval stores. The second is a new 2Ex34 inch S-color tree-growing map of American forest resources, Where We Grow Our Trees.
Although primarily intended for classroom distribution, samples of both the map and the chart will be mailed to forest industry operators. Additional copies for local distribution and plant use may be obtained free of charge. These two posters are the latest additions to a growing series of visual material for use on classroom and industry bulletin boards. They have been preceded in the series by eight school-and-industry posters (in color) which were printed in _two sets of four posters each. In each set one poster was devoted to wood in war and three to good forest management as practiced by the forest industries.
Portland, Oregon-An estimate of the probable consumption of lumber from the 'Western Pine region for the second quarter of L943 is given in a statement issued by the Western Pine Association here. The statement in full is as follows:
The Western Pine Region is emerging from one of the severest winters on record, one which for many operations made logging considerably more difficult than it normally is during the winter months. Nevertheless, the manufacturers of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine managed to ship within ten per cent of the record volume achieved in the first quarter of. 1942, If this same relationship can be maintained for the balance of the year by this and other branches of the lumber industry, the lumber needs for war and essential civilian uses, as estimated by the War Production Board, will be fully met.
Preliminary estimates indicate that first quarter 1943 production was about 827 million feet. Though less than in the record breaking years of 1941 and 1942, this volume is much larger than the industry produced in the first quarter of 1940 or any prior year. It was possible only because employees were willing to stand the extra discomfort and operators the great added expense of logging in snow so heavy that, had it not been for the war, output of logs and lumber would have been much more drastically curtailed.
In spite of the unusual operating difficulties the shipments of 1168 million feet during the quarter exceeded by 55 million feet the estimate made late in December, at which time the severe winter was not anticipated. These shipments were made partly by reducing mill stocks faster than was thought possible. Regional stocks today are only 851 million feet. a reduction oi. 4ffi million feet from the moderate volume of stocks which the industry was carrying a year ago.
Based upon general predictions and all other available information regarding the industry's ability to make and ship lumber, it is expected that during the second quarter of 1943 the shipments (consumption) of Western Prne lumber will be about 1615 million feet. This volume will be 109 million feet or 6 per cent less than during the second quarter of. L942. The estimate contemplates no stock in-
crease during the quarter, though normally the industry by May is producing faster than it is shipping.
Shipments during the coming quarter, as for the last year and a half, will be limited only by the industry's ability to make shipments. Performance during the past months amply attests the resolute purpose and enthusiasm of operators and their remaining employees. Practically all the brakes on production, except weather, are now either Government imposed or Government controlled. The OPA now is finally, after more than three months,.partially lifting an arbitrary ceiling price differential which undoubtedly delayed shipments of green or partially seasoned lumber during the first quarter. Similar delays in relating prices to Government directed increases in costs, or in making necessary food available to isolated logging camps, could seriously impede the industry's efforts.
New Orleans, La., May ZS.-Good buildings are an important factor in a program to increase our food supply. Good farm buildings encourage higher production, and thus increase profits and contribute more to the food for victory campaign. A good brooder house, sun porch, or range shelter will pay dividends to the poultry raiser. A properly designed farrowing house or self-feeder will aid in the developing of strong healthy hogs. Cattle and sheep return more to the farmer when they have the benefit of good equipment for feeding and effective shelter.
These and many other farm structures are illustrated in a book just published by the Southern Pine Association under the title: "Southern Pine Smaller Farm Structures." Altogether there are 48 structures, each accompanied by detailed plans for building them and a complete list of material. Mpry lumber dealers have secured copies of this publication for review by anyone interested in building these structures, and a complimentary copy may be obtained from the Southern Pine Association, Canal Building, New Orleans, La.
For the first time in a good many years, A. C. Pascoe, Pacific Coast representative of Wood-Mosaic Co., Louisville, Ky., didn't see the Kentucky Derby. He was on a business trip to the East and South around that time but just missed the big event.

Mahogany plywood, one of the critical lumber materials used in the production of warplanes and warships, was removed from price control by the Office of Price Administration.
Mahogany plywood is produced from mahogany veneer and is allocated entirely to producers of war materials for the government. Today's action will relieve plywood manufacturers from rising raw materials costs and assure continued production of their important product.
Mahogany veneer, along with imported mahogany logs, flitches, and lumber, was removed previously from price control and the subsequent increase in prices for veneer squeezed the plywood producers who were held to March, 1942,levels by ceilings established under the General Maximum Price Regulation.
This action was contained in Amendment No. 2 to Revised Supplementary Regulation No. 1 to the General Maximum Price Regulation, effective May 19, 1943.
WPB relaxes restrictions on manufacture of metal doors, door frames and shutters, permitting the manufacture of these items, among other things, to fill orders bearing preference rating of AA.5 or better, provided 85 per cent of the material required was put into process prior to September 26, 1942, or was in possession of the manufacturer on that date, and is heavier than 24 gauge (limitation order L-142, as amended May 13), issued May 13.
