Think of the sawmill man with the many operations he must perfiorm.

Only part crews and many of them not willing to work.

He is trying harder than you think.

"Let's say a prayer, For the boys over thsls-"

"on fame's .,.rri.r ."r"inrr* grounds Their silent tombs are spread, And glory guards with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead."

"Lord, God of nJar.u.'rrith us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget."

"To you *i*, r"iii'j nJ"a. we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Field." * *

"To them we owe the liberty we enjoy. To them we owe the preservation of our institutions-and shall we not hold them in grateful remembrance? In God's name, then, let us respect and love the dead who died for us." (General John A. Logan.)

General Logan tit e-isJ ,iu,'""tnr, day carries with it the idea of our loss and the dear cost of liberty. It brings fresh to mind the deeds of our country's martyrs. It keeps alive and warm the great principles for which our sires poured out their blood."

r cannot ."r, I .,Ju lo.'r", That he is dead; he is just away. With a cheery smile and a waving hand, He has wandered into the Promised Land.

This is an hour "o nil.airiJrr .lt"-r,,,, that the language we speak seems totally inadequate to properly express those thoughts that becloud the spirit of every thinking man and woman. In the past two weeks, thousands of our boys, our blood-brothers, have been sacrificed on the altar of war in the battle for freedom and justice. Words cannot express our gratitude, our admiration, our love, and our immeasurable regret that such things must be. We can but bow our heads and hearts in boundless appreciation of what they have done-of what their comrades are doing.

Yes, we can follow ,fr. **a"- of the popular song, and "say a prayer for the boys over there," Over there where the grandsons of the men who fought under Grant and Sherman fight shoulder to shoulder with the grandsons of the men in grey who fought as devotedly under Lee and Jackson. The descendants of those who battled under the

Stars and Stripes at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, join forces with the descendants of those who nobly defended the "Lost Cause," in order that Hitler, and Hirohito and all their hordes of hatred and bloodshed may be banished from the earth. Surely there is no North or South, no East or West in this country any more. There is just one America, "the land of the free and the home of the brave"; and the brave shall keep it free.

They are seeing to it, tiorl rly. rrorn all forty-eight of our states, that the glorious traditions of this country that were established by Washington and his lion-hearted men at Valley Forge, shall be made even more glorious in this present conflict. This is a land that came into being because men and women wanted freedom, and were willing to make any sacrifice to secure it. And don't forget ! There is only ONE freedo,m ! That word is all-embracing and cannot be divided. THAT is the freedom for which our boys fight-and die-as these words are written.

on July 4, 1918, Wooa.l- i"ti."" described what America was fighting for in a very few splendidly-chosen words, when he said: "There can be no compromise, no half-way decision is conceivable. What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed, and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind." And here, twenty-six years later, our boys are again fighting and dying for those very things that Wilson named.

During World W", Ol. 1n.* r"rrro.r, revival preacher, Billy Sunday, used to say in his war sermons: "God has different ways of doing things. A left hook to the jaw is sometimes far better than a prayer." We're using both in France today.

**ti:

Isn't it wonderful how, while we at home choke with emotion as we think of what our boys over there are going through, those stout-hearted youngsters can joke even while "death rides whistling on every wind" ? Reports of the invasion on D-Day as they came from many front-line reporters said that the good old transportation gag-"Is this trip necessary?"-was shouted back and forth between our boys amid chuckles and belly-laughs, even as the bullets few everywhere. Aren't they wonderful?

Madam Chiang Kai-shek has said: "When victory is won we should see to it that the evil which has brought about the world catastrophe is attacked at its source-in the schools. If the minds of millions of children had not been poisoned in the schools of Germany, ftaly, and Japan, their young men would not have allowed themselves to be led

And when the war clouds clear away you will find us f eaturing this slogan in our advertising as prominently as ever before.

(Continrreci from Page 8) like beasts to the slaughter for a cause contrary to all ideas of humanity and justice."

Who can doubt that *i,nill ,1. l.r-"t nation today there prevails such gloom, such despondency, such mental and physical misery as no nation in history has ever known before. For in that land every house is already a house of mourning; every mind is depressed by the constant thinning of the military ranks, even at this time when the mighty fist of the Allies is knocking loudly at their very door. And in addition to all that, the hatred and condemnation of the entire civilized world must, we know, have a terribly sodden effect on the general morale. Everyone knows that the hardest man to lick is the man who smiles while he fights; and who, in Germany, can smile while he fights, or waits for news of the fighting?

Hitler: He stands at uay,-to, "irr"a by righteous ire, Stout hearts are pledged to bring about his fall. The clouds grow red; the skies are raining fire. And then a hand moves, writing on the wall The age-old solemn warning HE ignored: "Who takes the sword shall perish with the sword !"

-A. N. Weeber

rn world war one, .;J cl.-"r, soldier carried suspended around his neck a disk, aluminum for the officers, celluloid for the men. On one side of the disk was a picture of the Kaiser's idea of God-a fierce-looking, bewhiskered war god, and on the other side these words of the Kaiser: "Destroy all, and return to God and me, and be immune."

Said Goering: "Fuehrer, :^J, fo o.r, to fisht?" "Yes, my friend, you orter: Shine your medals up nice and bright, But don't go near the slaughter."

Out at Longview, **nt*b", the employes of the Long-Bell Lumber Company have adopted a slogan which they send to every one of their men in the armed services, that reads: "Hit 'em, damn 'em, with everything you've got; good hunting and good luck; we'll keep the home front slugging with you." They follow the philosophy that says:

He also fights who helps a fighter fight; He doth his best for Freedom, God, and Right; Not all may face the shot and shell; A patriot he who doth his task full well Behind the lines; whose deeds, and words, and life Show love of country, service, sacrifice.

A few days from ,,o* .,J,, ;. ;. Fourth of July, the day laden with this nation's best traditions. Want to meet a prophet? Meet Jo,hn Adams, second President of the United States. Ilere's why I say he was. After the Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson and put through the Congress by himself and others, John Adams wrote: "The Fourth of July, 1776, will be a memorable epoch in the history of America. I am inclined to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as THE great anniversary festival. It ought to be cormmemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of the continent to the other. from this time forward forever." What say? Wasn't John a true prophet ?

How Those Soldiers Looked

One of the best stories of the war goes back to the dark days when the British, driven back all the way across North Africa, faced the Germans at El Alamein. Frantically Montgomery gathered togethbr every semblance of force and fighting men he could muster to meet the tragic situation. One hastily constructed regiment was the most conglomerate in British history. ft was made up of men of every class, race, color, size, and uniform that Northeastern

extencling these certificates as explained in paragraph (o) (1) below.

All Other Consumers

(m) Who "all other consumers" are. "All other consumers" arc indusiriai plants and busiuess enterprises and other persons rvhcr need lumber for a purpose for which no rating has been assigncd. The term also includes industrial plants and business enterlrriscs that have an AA-5 X{RO preference rating (except Class I consumers ).

(n) "All other consumers" may place uncertified and unrated orders. "A1l other consumers" may place uncertiired and urrrated orders with lumber distributors and may acceprt clcliveries of lunrbcr' to the extent that distributors are permitted by directions to this order to supply lurnber for their needs. An uncertified and ltttratcd order is one whicli'bcars neilher a certificate nor a rating. Distributors

(o) How distributors get their lumber. -l'he follorving lrrovisions will govern thc nanner in which lurnber clistributors will get their lumber.

(1) Extension of customers' certified orders. Evcry clistributor may extend certified orders which hc has accepted and rcceive an amount of lumbcr from a .sawrnill or from anothcr distributor which is not more than the total acculnulated certified orrlers accepted (eitlier on past or future orders Ior tlcliverl-). There is no tinre limit rvithin which orders must be extendetl. A distributor rnay not extend the same certificcl order more than once. Certified orclcrs accepted by a distributor nust be kept in the distributor's liles, and the accumulated certilicates may be extended by using thc clistributor's certification provided for in paragraph (q) (3) of this order. 'Ihese provisions apply to both the certificates sholvn in paragraphs (c1; (1) an<t (<r) (2) below and to any certificate the War Food Administration says a farmer rnust use to get lurnltcr under this ordcr.

(2) War Production Board may authorize distributors to place certified but unrated orders. Any lumber clistributor n'ho lvas cngaged in tl.re business of selling lumber at wholesale or retail prior to N{a1- 1, 1941 and who hacl a lumber inventory at tliat date, ma1apply to the War Production Board on liorm WI'B-3813 for authorit-r. to place certified but uulated or<lers with salr.mills or otlter clistributors. Lumber tlistributors authorizecl on Form WI'}II-3813 to rcccive lumber under this paragraph rIla\i use the cettificatior-r provided for in paragraph (q) (4) of this order.

(3) Directions may also permit distributors to receive lumber. Lumber distributors rnay be authorized b1' directions issuecl utrder tlris order to receivc additional quantitics of lurnber. Lumber u'hich a distributor receivcs under a direction to this order u'ill bc subject to the provisions of tl"ris order atitl such conditions:ts ntal'be iniposed by the directions.

(p) Deliveries that distributors may make. IJnless a direction or directive issued under this order says a distributor nray cleliver lumber to a custorner or to another <listributor itr sornc other wa1', cleliveries rray be rnadc only on thc follou'ing t1'pcs of or<lcrs:

(1) Deliveries on certified and rated orders. Distrilrutors n'ray deliver lumbcr on the basis of a custorner's or another distlibutor's rated order which bears eitl.rer onc of the certilications provided for in lraragraphs (q) (1) and (<r) (3) of this ordcr or a certification in thc form prescribed by the War Food Athninistration.

(2) Deliveries on certified but unrated orders. Distributors ma1' delivcr lurnbcr on the basis of cither a custonrcr's or clistributor's unrated ortler if it bears one of the certilications providecl for in paragraphs (ci Q) and (q) (,1) of this order-

(3) Distributors who are also consumers. If a clistributor rvants to use lumber from his own <listributor stocli. he tnar- do so onlv

by follovuing the same procedure he would follow in delivering lurnber to another consumer. If, as a consumer, he has the right to place a certifie d ordcr with someone e lse, he may treat the transfer from his clistributor stock as a delivery on a certilied order, but he must keep a record of it in his files and endorse the appropriatc certificate on the record.

Certification of Orders

(q) General provisions. Unless a directive or a direction issued by the War I'roduction Board under this order says that it may be done in some other way, an order for lumber may only be certified by endorsing or attaching one of the following forms of certificates on thc purchase order, sales ticket, or other order calling for the delivery of lumber. Certificates must be signed manually or as explained in Priorities Regulation No. 7. Howcver, the standard form oi certificate described in that regulation may not be used in place of the certificates required by this order. Orders placed verbally must be confirmed in'rrnediately and the confirmation must bear the appropriate certification. Orders placed by telegraph must bear the appropriate certification in full or be confirmed by letter 'bearing the certification in full. Lumber suppliers who receive certifications rnust keep them ir.r their files for inspection by government officials.

An1' consumer who may place a certified (rated or unrated) order for lumber required for construction or lor maintenance and repair and who wishes to have the construction work done and the material furnishecl by another person may authorize such other person to sign the certification as his duly authorized official.

(1) Certificate that must be used by Class I and Class II consumers on rated orders. Class I and Class II consumers must enclorse the following ccrtificate on all their rated orders calling for the deliverl' or transfer of lumber:

l-he undersignecl consumer certifies to the supplier and to the War Production Boarcl that this lumber, together with all other lumber for which he has recluested delivery, <loes not exceed the amount he has been authorized by the War Productibn Boarcl to receive under Order L-335, with the provisions of which he is familiar, and that the use of any rating shovvn on this order is authorized.

Plasmq

Plasma, which has saved the lives of countless men already in this war and will continue to do so as the fighting tempo increases, is one of the great finds of recent scientific effort. Like the Sulpha drugs, it is keeping men alive who must otherwise have died.

What is plasma? Webster's ne.;" dictionary says: "Plasma is the fluid part of blood, lymph, or milk, as opposed to the corpuscles, the fat globules, etc., suspended in it. Blood consists of a fluid, or plasma in which colorless or colored cells called corpuscles are suspended."

The "Champion Log" tells about plasma in these words: "The blood which circulates through the arteries, veins, and capillaries of the human body carry nourishment and oxygen to all the tissues of the body. The red and white corpuscles float in plasma, which is why plasma is so'important in the treatment of soldiers whose bodies have been lacerated with bullets, bombs, shells, and grenade fragments. Although the blood loss may be slight, we are informed, the terrific shock may so lower normal resistance that the plasma seeps through the walls of the blood vessels. As a result the blood pressure goes down and down and the red corpuscles fail to supply sufhcient oxygen to the tissues, and carry less and less waste matter away' Consequently, within a short time, unless plasma is added, the tissues of the body suffocate and the person dies.

"Physicians tell us that the transfusion of blood is much more effective, but it is impracticable for use on the battlefield. Today plasma in powder form is taken by the Army Medical Corps right into the front lines, mixed with distilled water and injected into wounded soldiers on the battlefield. The efficacy of plasma depends upon speed-injecting it into the patient as soon as possible after the injury occurs."

Love of Country

By Elihu Root

True love of country is not mere blind partisanship. It is regard for the people of one's country, and all of them. It is a feeling of fellowship and brotherhood for all of them. It is a desire for the prosperity and happiness of all of them. It is kindly and considerate judgment toward all of them. The first duty of popular self-government is individual selfcontrol. The essential condition of true progress is that it shall be based upon grounds of reason, and not of prejudice. Lincoln's noble sentiment of charity for all and malice toward none, was not a specific for the Civil War' but is a living principle of action.

Satislcction

The greatest satisfaction you will find in this tremendously interesing life is when your conscience congratulates yL'tr for having made some miserable man happy

Mcrry crnd Her Little Bond

Mary bought a little bond, And slipped it in her sock, "'Tis safer there by far," quoth she, "Than under key and lock."

When Mary bought that little bond, And stowed it in her stocking, The interest that investment drew Was something really sho'cking.

Mary bought a little bond, And hid it in her lisle; She bought a second, third and fourth, And now she's got a pisle !

If Mary keeps on buying bonds, And stowing them in lisle, To cover her deforrrrities

Long skirts will be in style.

The Food Shortcge

No more can we smile at the comedy star, Who looks so indignant and flustered, When he's slammed in the eye with a cranberry pie, Or cuffed on the conk with a custard.

The stage-waiter, peeved, at receiving a tip, Of less than ten cents on the dollar, Dare not pour a stoup of hot nourishing soup Down the guest's number seventeen collar.

No longer the boor who chucks under the chin, The poor but exemplary slavey, Gets nicked on the bean with a steaming tureen Of perfectly edible gravy.

In household disputes, when the pretty young wife Thinks husband is getting too perky, She cannot get back with a smashing attack On the gentleman's face with a turkey.

The brickbat and casting once more must be used, To lend mirth and lightness to action, Old stuff, it is true, which, compared with beef stew Will furnish but little attraction.

We'll need all our chow for the boys at the front, There's never a question about it; But we'll have to admit that no comedy hit Can ever be written without it.

Wcshingrton's Letter to His Wife

"I shall rely confidently on that Providence which has heretofore preserved and been bountiful to me, not doubting but that I shall return safe to you in the fall. I shall feel no pain from the toil or danger of the campaign; my unhappiness will flow frorn the uneasiness I know you will feel from being left alone. f therefore beg that you will summon your whole fortitude, and pass your time as agreeably as possible."

Lumber Allocations for Third Quarter oF 1944

Washington, June l3-Because the supply of lumber is insufficient to fill all war and civilian demands, the Requirements Committee of the War Production Board has allotted maximum quantities of lumber to clain.rant agencies and WPB industry divisions for the third quarter, 1944, u'ithin which purchase may be authorized, S. W. Anderson, chairman of the committee, announced today. This is the first time that such action has bccn taken on lumber by the Requirements Corumittee.

A total of 9,152,000,000 board feet, an amount equal to the estimated supply for the quartcr, has been allotted for the third quarter, 194.1. This amount is based on the l-umber and Lumber Products Division's study of lumber requirements and suppl1' and is, in effect, a ceiling on third quarter 1944 use.

Lumber requirements totaled 10,570,000,000 board feet. It has been necessary to reduce these requirements to bring them within the iimits of potentially available supply, and to establish an allocation flexible enough to provide for unexpected urgent militarv demands, J. Philip Boyd, director of the Lumber Division, said.

Under the prograrn, major indtrstrial consumers (users of more than 50,000 boarrl fect per quarter) rvill be permitted to receive a total of 5.219.982.000 board feet. This amount is allotted to WPB industry divisions and certain claimants for re-allottment t() their constituent industries.

The Army, Nar'1', Aircraft Ilesources Control OfEce, Maritime Comnrission, Foreign llconomic Administration and Canadian Dir.ision coliectively have been allotted 1,568,241 ,0m board fcet for rlirect military ancl export requirements.

A total of 317,568.000 boarcl feet is allotted to the National I{ousing Agency {or appror,ed n'ar housing projects.

The War Food Administration is allottecl 1.065,600,C[0 bciard feet for construction, maintenance and repair of structures on the farm exclttsir-e of du'ellings. An :rd<litional allorvance of 72,000,UJO board feet is establislied irr a separate reserve for the repair ancl t'naintenance of farnr dnellings. Similarly,156,695,000 board feet are rcservccl for other civilian construction, maintenance anrl repltir.

A total of 692,507,W board ieet is reserved for militarysp,rnsored industrial facilities, the development of petroleum re:;ources and mines, Red Cross disaster use, the maintenance of Government facilities, highways and other essential transportation facilities, utilities, essential non-military inrlustrial consumers.

A fortl'r,coming amended version of Order L-335 will esr.ablisl-r procedures for carrying out the program, WPB sa: d.

'It is recognized," Mr. Anderson said, "that the proposed amendn.rent to L-335 as a single instrument will not akrne be effective in carrying out the purposes of this progrrlm and that it rvill be necessary to supplement that order with various directions and directives. The Lumber l)ivisic'n r.r'ill be authorized to issue directives to sawmills to set asjde a specified portion of their production for direct military orders for the United States Government, including command construction, and to take such other a,ction, by directions to Order L-335 or specific directives to producers or distributors, as may be necessary to provide for the channeling of lumber to rvar and essential civilian use in a,ccordance 'rvith the approved program."

Fir Plywood Association Hofds Annual Meeting

Out of the recent annual meeting of fir plywood manufacturers at Tacoma, Wash." came stark evidence that 'the industry is girding itself for peace-time markets even though war needs continue to consume their entire output.

Here are four.signifi'cant developments disclosed during the brief May 23 business session of Douglas Fir Plywood Association, the industry-wide trade association:

1. Plywood manufacturers have acquired sizable stands of timber as sources of raw is Thoncrg B. Mqlqrkey oI Porh materials.

2. They have established a research foundation to develop new wood products separate and apart from lumber, plywood and pulp. (The existing plywood association resear,ch laboratory continues to operate on an enlarged scale.)

3. Plywood adventising has been expanded in trade journals as promotion of the industry is intended to tell specifiers now that the material again will serve private builders once military demands lessen.

4. For the first time, the industry promotional organi-. zation now is supported by every manufacturer in the 30plant fir plywood industry. Thus the plywood makers present a "solid front" for the marketing of their product.

Plywood Research Foundation is the name of the new experimental institute financed by the industry to bring greater utilization of Northwest timber through development of additional products.
