WHAT ARE YOU GRIPING FOR?

Our forefathers did without sugar until the 13th century; without coal fires until the 14th century; without buttered bread until the 15th century; without potatoes until the 16th century; without coffee, tea or soap until the 17th century; without puddings until the 18th century; without gas, matches, or electricity until the 19th century; without canned goods until the 20th century; and we've only had motor cars a few short years. Now what was it you were complalning about?

It makes mistakes-and then starts all over.

Sabotage

The word sabotage is from the French. The French word for shoe is sabot. In l9t2 there was a great railway strike in France, and the strikers cut the shoes holding the railroad lines. So they called cutting the railway shoes "sabotage." And so it is todan

NE\I/ WOODE,N LIGHTNING BOMBER

Much publicity has been given the new Mosquito bomber, which is built entirely of plywood, and uses speed instead of armour for protection. It is a British ship, built chiefly in Canada, and operates on an entirely different theory from the heavy bombers that do most of Britain's work. It has a speed of over 400 miles an hour, so that no enemy fighter plane can catch it. It dodges like lightning upon an ob, jective, drops its small load of bombs, and is away like a mosquito-hawk. It is the hardest-to-hit fighting plane in the world, and is doing wonderfully effective work out of England. The wood is sp,ruce.

NLMA "Draft Information" Manuil Redwood Logging Conference

Every lumberman will want a copy of "Draft Information", a lZ-page manual which has just been published to give operators in the industry up-to-the-minute information on Selective Service and manpower problems.

Prepared by the Law Information Service of NLMA, the new bulletin contains the latest lists of essential activities and occupations in all branches of the lumber and timber products industries. It explains Selective Service regulations governing occupational deferments and tells how to apply for deferments. It also tells what kind of information should be given a draft board in applying for a deferment, how to rnake appeals, and many other important things that a lumberman needs to know and understand about the draft.

Through pointing out what Selective Service headquarters has ruled as to the essentiality of the lumber industry and the eligibility of its workers for deferment, the bulletin also serves as a practical means of helping to acquaint draft board members with the status of the industry. Reports indicate that lumbermen often have difficulty in making local boards appreciate the critical need for lumber as a war material, and that some boards are unaware of the instructions from Headquarters regarding deferments for lumber and logging workers. fn such cases employers not only will want this bulletin for their own information, but may find it helpful to send copies to the members of the draft boards with which they are dealing. Copies can be obtained from any of the industry associations or war committees.

Construction

The types of construction for which applications are processed in regional offices are enlarged by the WPB in an amendment delegating authority to regional directors to permit constru,ction under Order L-41 and to issue preference rating orders provided the estimated cost is less than $10,000. Among the types of construction now processed in the field are those which increase by less than 20 per cent the capacity of productive facilities and ofi-farm storage facilities for agricultural products, including drainage and irrigation facilities serving more than one farm creamery, warehouse and grain elevator (Field Administration Order 78-20, as amended), issued June 9.

San Francisco, California, June 8, 1943.-The seventh annual Redwood logging conference, recently held at Eureka, Calif., was notable for interest shown by the loggers, as evidenced by their spirited participation in the roundtable discussions particularly on the subject of planning. Among the other topics reviewed were: Log storage, peeling developments, double drums, and fire protection.

In the interest of forest conservation, development of logging practices which result in more productive cut-over lands, and improved utilization, these conferences have for their objective a gradual raising of the general level of competency of logging departments and the education of younger loggers. They are sponsored by the California Redwood Association.

Ori the subject of planning, Logging Superintendent Gordon Manary of The Pacific Lumber Company, stated that he is a firm believer in planning the immediate operation five years ahead, and having the road construction two years ahead. The need for accurate cruising, necessity of maps, anticipation of seasonal difficulties, and the place of contract logging, were among the elements of planning discussed. Opinion generally favored Diesel power. From comments, it was evident that planning assumes greater importance as readily accessible timber is depleted and that consideration must be given to methods designed to lengthen the life of existing old-growth stands.

A field trip was made to logging camps of Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, Salmon Creek Redwood Company, and the C. F. Jackman trucking operations, to observe logging, loading, dry storage of logs, centralized peeling, and truck and tractor repairing.

Direction 16 To Cmp Regulation 1

Orders for replacement of ,controlled materials rejected by a consumer because of nonconformity with specifications take precedence over all other orders, WPB rules.
