You've perhcps wondered why you weren't able to obtain certcrin shipments oI Pclco Redwood or why, qt times, it took so long.

I can remember back to the days when most of our jokes were about traveling salesmen' Then the Ford car took the lead. Then the sayings of Confucius stepped in. Now most stories are about our service men and women. None of them, so far, half as good as a hundred stories of the first World War.

of course, the stories :;a *oor"".r"r"aic confusion in Washington far outnumber the war stories; but there's nothing funny about them. Not to taxpayers. We have finally achieved unity in this country on one subject at least. One hundred and thirty million people agree that things on the home front are in a frightful and unbelievable mess. Our industrial plants producing war goods are performing miracles. Our soldiers and sailors are making valorous history. But Oh, that home front !

When Brigadier General Nathan Bedford Forrest died the other day in a flaming American Army plane over Kiel, there passed the last of a mighty name. His greatgrandfather was the Civil War general of whom General Sherman said it would be worth ten thousand men to "get'" him. General Nathan Bedford Forrest the first was one of the fightingest and most formidable men that Father Time has produced. From the cradle to the grave he was a fighter of the most flaming sort. With his hands, a knife, a pistol, a gun, or at the head of a column of troops, he was an army of fighters rolled into the form of one man. He has often been called "the personification of battle incarnate." Haven't read yet whether the 38.year-old great-grandson was like him; but if he was, our enemies have been spared much trouble.

The trouble with Travis is that he used to be a school teacher, and while he understood FIGURES he did not understand NUMBERS."

The wise campaign against loose talk about war matters, ship and troop movements, etc., continues. Shakespeare had something to say on that subject when he had one of his characters say to his wife: "Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know." And some later wise man said: "Three can keep a secret, if two of them never hear it."

Price Ceiling for Southern Hardwood Rough Construction Boards

Dollars-and-cents maximum prices for Southern hardwood rough construction boards were announced by the Office of Price Administration.

Base prices have been established as applying to rough boards principally because more rough material, or not completely machined material, is now moving to market, and the addition of machining differentials provides a simple method of pricing boards sold in various types of machining.

The revisions are provided in Amendment No. 5 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 97 (Southern Hardwood Lumber), and become effective July 2, 1943.

Lumber Distributors Asked to Cooperate Labor-Management Advisory Committee for in Making Survey of Lumber Stocks West Coast Lumber Industry Announced

\\rashington, June l9-Representative lumber distributors are being asked by the War Production Board to cooperate in making a detailed survey of lumber stocks, WPB's lumber and lumber products division announced today. The survey, which has the support of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, is being undertaken as a basis for stimulating production of certain classes of lumber with critically low stocks and for better utilization of less limited items.

Existing information on stocks covers only quantities, division officials stated, and a more cietailed breakdor,vn by the quantity and location of species, sizes and grades is essential in order to determine vvhere emphasis must be placed in attempts to replenish stocks. War uses, it was pointed out, demand special classes of lumber.

Distributors, representing an approximate 10 per cent sampling of tl-re industry, are being asked to report on their stocks and it will be possible to compute the stock situation for the country on the basis of this information. The data will be compiled, evaluated and interpretated by the U. S. Forest Service in cooperation rvith WpB's lumber and lumber products division. Over-all data rvill be reported to the industry through press channels and industry advisorv committees.

Formation of a War Production Board labor-management advisory committee for the West Coast lumber industry was announced today by J. Philip Boyd, director of the Lumber and Lumber Products Division. "The committee," said Mr. Boyd, "will be an operating unit which will meet regularly and is expected to take positive and prompt action. It will function under the general direction of and in cooperation with F. H. Brundage, WPB's Western Log and Lumber Administrator (Portland, Oregon).

Members of the committee are: Chairman and Government representative, Lewis H. Mills, recently appointed consultant and adviser to the director of the Lumber Division on western labor-management problems; labor representatives, Bert Sleeman of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Jointers (A.F. of L.) and Worth Lowery of the International Woodworkers of America (C.I.O.); management representatives, Judd Greeman of the OregonAmerican Lumber Company, and George T.

U. S. Army Trains

[0GGII|G and SAIITMILIII|G UI|ITS at Gamp Glaiborne, La.

The lumberman, already a key man in civilian industry in peace and war time, has come into his own in the Army. Timbermen, loggers, sawmill operators and ex-foresters and the like, have found their place in Ergineer Forestry courpanies, activated at the Engineer Unit Training Center, at Camp Claiborne, La.

These forestry units, the present war's version of legiments similarly employed in the first World War, prepare at Camp Claiborne to send their enlisted personnel and officers into the theater of operations. Their duties there are virtually the same as those found in any sawmill operation in civilian life-to provide small and mediun-r-size coustrttction lumber and timbers.

The program embraces both logging and sarvmill worl<, and training follows the operations later to be employed in the field, utilizing the same machinery. NIore specifically, forestry companies trained at the EUTC will enter war zones to cut the ties for Allied railroads, herv timbers for bridge construction, provide planking for the bridges, roads and docks, boards for housing. In short, the E,ngineer Forestry companies are ready likewise to man their ou,tr rifles if trouble from the enemy comes their way.

The nuclei of the Forestrv comDanies are skilled and

experienced lumbermen, hand-picked from the rosters of Engineer troops. Around these key men the companies are built, with men from other walks of life filling in the ranks. Thus an ex-logger from the pine forests of Colorado's Western slope may be giving the benefit of his years in the woods to an ex-salesman, while both are in training in a Forestry company. Needing skilled men necessary to fill the ranks of a specialized organization, the Engineers are developing their own.

The training the companies receive is divided into three classes, to conform to the make-up of a Forestry unit. The men of one platoon, representing roughly a third of the company, are trained as loggers. Their work is comparable to any srnall logging operation, utilizing tractor oPerations, loading rigs with cranes, loading by cross-haul (or parbuckle, as the West Coast terms it), gin-pole, and, of course, the hand lift. The loggers learn to mark their own timber for cutting.

Another third of the company-a platoon-lsa1n5 5t!vmill and yard operations, and develops specialists for one or the other of these two divisions. The sawmill section has its head sawyers, block setters, doggers, edgermen, filers, and the like; and the yard section sorts, stacks, arrd

f, powerlul cnd efficient portable sqwmill.

has charge of the finished products of the mill. A third platoon deals with supply and administration work for the company.

The first five weeks of the training program are devoted to the basic subjects that every soldier masters. Men of the forestry company learn military discipline, marching, camping, rifle markmanship, rigging, demolitions. Thus prepared, they can enter the woods of a hostile territory and take care of themselves in just about any emergency that comes along-a handy attribute in this day of fastmoving warfare, when an attack may come any place, at any time.

So the foresters can stack rifles and work with one eye peeled for the enemy, just as did their forefathers in the early days of America.

Then at the end of basic training, the specialized work begins. For a time, the companies are under close supervision of the staff of the EUTC, who see to it that the salesman from Milwaukee works beside the logger when first he picks up an axe. At the end of that time, the responsibility is shifted gradually onto the companies themselves, and the units move from the sawmill and logging site at the edge of the Engineer Unit Training Center to another in nearby Woodworth, La., formerly occupied by a CCC camp. Five weeks at the latter site, where they set up their own mill and act much as they will in the field, and their 13 weeks of basic training are over. Next comes their disposition where they are needed.

The equipment rrsed in training at the EUTC is just about what the Foresters will find in the field. The Corinth Heavy Duty Portable, Model 1-C, serves the sawmill platoon, R-4 Caterpillar tractors pull the logs. It

goes without saying tl,at the axe and the cross-cut saw are ever-present.

The number of F'orestry companies thus trained at the EUTC should not be announced, of course, nor the disposition of "graduates" in the war zones. The nrain burden of the program has been borne at the Engineer Center, although other foresters have been trained elsewhere.

As to the success of moulding experienced timber men and soldiers frorn other walks of life into a smooth-working unit-the men of the Center's plans and training staff are enthusiastic. The graduate forester, the ex-logger, the bookkeeper, the clerk, all have their place, and find it.

The Forestry Training program under the Plans and Training Section of the EUTC is headed by Captain Warren G. Tilton, of Seattle, Wash., the former logging engineer for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. C^ptain Tilton is assisted by a staff of pratical ofificers who have obtained their experience in the woods from Maine to California and from the bayous of Louisiana to the lake country of Minnesota. Assisting this stafT is a group of non-commissioned officers; these men when called upon can do any or all the work connected with the sawmill operation-they show the novice by first actually doing the job for him and later when the novice becomes just a bit cocky about his job the non-commissioned officer can step in and do his job just a little better. The untiring work of the non-commissioned officers, such as John W. Richards, Bayfield, Colo.; Thomas If. Nugen, Norton, Mo.; Charles Lee, Jr., Ashdown, Ark., and Victor McNally, Grand ['orks, N. D., has contributed greatly to the success of the sawmill Engineers.

Within the camp units are other prominent leaders such as William M. Bailey, a former forester for the Southern Kraft Corporation, and Gene Roberts, formerly director nf

A smart merchant who had tried in vain to collect a bill from a customer who owed everyone in town, finally wrote him a note that brought in the cash. It said: "If you don't pay what you owe me in three days I'll tell all your other creditors you DID pay me."

ETERNITY

The trouble with Hell is that when you get there you have to stay so long. Bob Ingersoll used to tell about a preacher who explained to his congregation how long it would be. "Dearly beloved," the preacher would say, "suppose you are standing down by the seashore. As far as you can look in every direction, everything is sand. Sand, just sand, and still more sand. Well now, suppose a little bird flies down and picks up a single tiny grain of sand and flies away. Now, in a million years another little bird flies down and picks up a grain of sand and carries it away. And in another million years still another little bird fies down and picks up a tiny grain of sand, and flies away. And in another million years another little bird fies down and picks up a grain of sand, and fies away. Well, brothers and sisters, by the time the little birds carrying away a grain of sand every million years have carried away all the sand on the seashore in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, well, dearly beloved, by that time it wouldn't even be sun-up in hell yet."

SLOW BURNING?

A storekeeper took out a whale of an insurance policy to protect his store against fire, and the day it became effective the place burned to the ground, a complete loss. The fire insurance company made all sorts of investigations, but found nothing \ rrong they could tie to, but the chagrined president could not help writing the following letter to the store owner:

"Dear Sir: You took out a fire insurance policy with us at 11 A.M. and your store did not catch fire until 4:30 p.M. of the same day. WILL VOU KINDLY EXPLAIN THE DELAY?''

The visitor in the defense plant was talking to a worker. He pointed to a young worker nearby, who had short hair, a cap, slacks, a cigarette. "It's hard to tell if that is a boy or girl," said the visitor. "It's a girl, and she's my daughter," said the one he was talking to. The visitor said: ,,My dear sir, forgive me. I did not know you were her father." And the other said: "f'm not her father-f,m her mother."

Plywood Production

Estimates of a 1O per cent increase in the production of softwood plywood in June as compared with May, were made at the recent mee.ting of the Softwood-Plywood Industry Advisory Committee, held in Washington with War Production Board and other Government ofificials. Better r,r'eather conditions and a larger supply of logs were giver.r as reasons for improved production. Prospects for a continued rise in production during July are held to be good, provided the log supply is adequate.

The committee discussed in detail the allocation control established by Limitation Order L-150 as amended June 9. fndustry members stated that the order will aid production and result in a better distribution of softwood plywood for essential needs.

Increased demand for boxing and crating due chiefly to expanding military requirements were reviewed at tl-re meeting and the possibility of developing new grades of softwood plywood for these uses was considered. Grades now produced are used to some extent for boxing and crating it was pointed out. If suitable special grades can be found, there will be a better chance of meeting the steadily rising dem,and.

Officials of the Chemicals Division informed the committee that the supply of casein glue available for plywood production is decreasing due to military requirements for dry milk, and that their is also a possibility of a shortage of soyabean glue.

Lumber Committee Hearings Scheduled

The Sub-Committee on Lumber Matters of the Select Committee on Small Business of the House of Representatives has scheduled two hearings on the Lumber Problem for the month of July, as follows:

July 12--Seattle, Washington, Federal Court House Bldg., 10 A.M.

July 29-Memphis, Tennessee, Federal Court House Bldg., 10 A.M.

It is anticipated that each hearing may take more than one day if sufficient interest is exhibited on the part of the industry. Therefore, if necessary, the Committee proposes to schedule another hearing in Seattle on July 13 and in Memphis on July 30 to supplement the above dates.

Representative H. M. Jackson, chairman of the SuhCommittee on Lumber Matters, states, "This Committee is deeply concerned u'ith present evidences of lack of lumber production in this nation in an amount sufficient to meet the essential needs of the armed services and other buyers. It is also concerned with the fact that this condition is accompanied by a total shutdown of approximately 27 percent of the total sawmills in the country right at a time when log and lumber production is so vitally needed."

Dealers Collect Lists of Postwar Building Prospects

More than 3,000 retail lumber.dealers are now gathering lists of families that want to build homes immediately after the war. They are using a simple method developed by Henry W. Collins, vice-president in charge of merchandising of The Celotex Corporation of Chicago, which puts them directly in touch with prospects who are saving money so that they can build at the earliest opportunity.

The method is built around an attractive and durable container for keeping war bonds. This container is being furnished by Celotex to its dealers for distribution to prospects. Some 200,000 containers, imprinted with dealers' names, have been already supplied to 3,000 dealers, and another 100,000 containers are now being printed.

Celotex is pushing the distribution of these containers in its national advertising in major magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Better Homes and Gardens, American Home, House Beautiful, Ilouse and Garden and Parents'. Readers are urged to go to their local dealers for the containers. Names of 75,000 persons who have requested the containers direct from the 'company are also being turned over to dealers.

"We believe that anyone taking.the time to go to a dealer's office to ask for one of these containers is genuinely interested in building a home," says Mr. Collins. "When the prospect calls, the dealer also has an opportunity to talk to him for a few minutes, find out what his plans are and jot down his name and address on a card for filing.

"A file of. 25, 50 or 500 such names, depending on the size of the dealer's community, provides the best kind of a prospect list. The day that the ban on home building is lifted, the dealer can reach down in the drawer where the cards are filed, pull them out and get to work.

"Many dealers are not waiting for the end of the war to follow up these prospects. They are keeping in touch with them, from time to time, by sending them interesting

pieces of home building literature. For this purpose many dealers are beginning to use our new portfolio of postwar homes, plans for which have been drawn for us by nationally known architects.' These portfolios contain illustrations of several houses as well as descriptions written by the architects who designed them.

"When the war ends, dealers with well-filled postwar prospect files will not have to wait for buyers to come to them or depend on hurried last-minute selling plans. And their ability to get under way in a hurry will be very important immediately after the war, not only for them, but for the entire building industry and our whole national economy.

"It will be important for the dealer because, no matter holv much demand there may be for homes after the war, teh cream of the business will go to those who go pfter it the fastest and most aggressively.

"Quick action is equally important to the building industry in general. The forecasts that say there will be a need for building 1,500,000 homes annually after the war should not lead us to believe that any such number will be built unless sound merchandising methods are used to turn this need into active demand. All of us need many things that we never buy because there are other things we want so much more. It is up to the building industry to make those who need horrles also want them enough to put up the necessary money.

"The success of the industry in promoting a large volume of private home construction immediately after the u'ar will have an important bearing on our entire national economy. The building industry is being counted on to play a major part in solving one of our biggest postwar problems-unemployment. Jobs will have to be provided for millions of returning soldiers and former war industry workers, and our industry is expected to be in a preferred position to carry a large part of the load. Its return to a peacetime basis, unlike that of most other major industries, will not be delayed by the need for re-establishing production lines. It should be able to swing into action on short notice.

"That the industry has the spirit and the will to make the most of its obligations and opportunities, is certainly evidenced by the fact that 3,000 dealers are looking ahead and planning for the future at a time when they also are beset by the many difficulties of operating under adverse wartime conditions." '

Timber Army in Training

(Continued from Page 15)

the Forest Resource Survey for the Appalachian Forest Experiment Station, United States Forest Service, Asheville, N. C.

The chief of the U. S. Forest Service, Lyle F. Watts, expressed "high approval" of the Forestry courpanies recently, in a business call with Brigadier General Johu W. N. Schulz, commanding general of the Engineer Unit Training Center. His stop at the EUTC was part of a routine inspection trip to study Army use of national forests, and to fulfill a desire to see the Engineer forestry units in action. These, said Mr. Watts, should answer a vital need overseas for rough timber and lumber for military construction. The companies utilize the Evangeline unit of Kisatchie National forest, under special use permit, for their training at Camp Claiborne.

As for the members of the Forestry companies themselves, many of them prefer to be called "sawmillers," not foresters, for they are not prepared for the reseeding or replanting rvork now associated with forestry. They are trained to get out the luml:er or timbers for construction in the war zones. The militarv railroads of tomorrow may run on their ties, c,r cross some foreign stream on timbers they have hewn. Some growth of timber near a fighting front may become a vast stockpile of lumber under their skilled hands.

They are proud of their nelv battle cry: "Timber, timber !"

Amendment.No. 6 to MPR No. 223-Northem Hardwood Lumber

Specific dollars-and-cents maximum prices for additional grades and items of Northern Hardwood Lumber were announced by the Office of Price Administration.

Tl-re new specific ceilings are established for white oak and red oak structural stock or sound square edge material, and white oak and red oak freight car stock, common dimension, mine car lumber. They are maximum prices previously approved by OPA for use by a number of individual mills. Mills in the past had been required to apply to OPA for approval of prices for these items.

Establishment of the specific ceilings eliminates the necessity for mills filing the proposed prices with OPA in the future, and, at the same time, creates uniform prices for all sellers.

The new prices are provided in Amendment No. 6 to Maximum Price Regulation No.223 (Northern Hardwood Lumber), and become effective July 3, 1943.

Amendment No. 1 to MPR No. 293---

Plywood Glider Towed Stock Millwork Across Adantic

Increases in the prices of lvooden doors and sash manufactured from lumber released under War Production Board Limitation Order L-DU were authorized by the Office of Price Administration.

The increases take the form of shortened discounts. For' stock millwork made principally of Western pine, the disiount may be shortened Ll points on all doors, open sash, screens, and frames, and, fu point on glazed sash.

Shortening of these discounts, OPA said, is the equivalent of permitting manufacturers to pass on to buyers the $3 per 1,000 board feet increase in maximum prices of Western Pine Lumber resulting from the War Labor Board approval of wage increases in the Western Pine cases.

Under the standard industry conversion ration of lumber to millwork, an increase of $2 per 1,000 board feet in the price of shop lumber is the equivalent of one point discount in selling prices, except in the case of glazed sash, where it represents I point.

The shortening of the discount by ll points on doors, open sash, screens and frames, therefore, is the equivalent of a $3 per 1,000 board feet increase in shop lumber costs, and shortening of fo point in the discount on glazed sash is also the equivalent of a $3 lumber cost rise.

By industry practice, stock millwork is customarily sold on a discount basis, and that is why the increase is granted in points, rather than in dollars-and-cents or a percentage rise. A door that has been selling at a maximum price of

MPR No. 94 Amended---Western Pine Lumber

Buyers of premium priced Western Pine lurnber rvho were heretofore required to certify that they would absorlr the increased mill price today were relieved of that obligation by the Office of Price Administration.

Prior to today's action, a $3.00 "premium" over the regulation ceiling prices was provided for producers in five Western states, to apply on twelve specified grades and sizes of Western Pine lumber which by order of the War Production Board were to be channeled almost exclusively to government agencies, contractors and sub-contractors and manufacturers of Western wooden agricultural containers. Purchasers not within the classes named under this prior provision were permitted to buy such grades and sizes under special WPB release, and at the "premium" price, provided they certified that the increased price would be absorbed by them and not passed along.

Recently WPR has released ihcreasing quantities of this lumber to "non-government" buyers. Production is at a level to permit such releases, which are said by WPB to be necessary to maintain the wartime civilian economy. Lumber channeled into these uses will be available principally for farmers, manufacturers of essential millwork, and through retail yards to small domestic consumers.

The former requirement that non-government purchasers absorb the permium effectively bars this channeling of lumber earmarked for essential civilian use. Therefore, OPA said, the requirement is removed in order that the lumber may reach sdch users, and in such amounts, as WPB may determine. This step is necessary to "aid in the effective prosecution of the war" OPA said, adding that it "will not increase the cost of living."

The new authorization for other buyers to pay the premium price is contained in Amendment 4 to Maximum Price Regulation 94 (Western Pine and Associated Species of Lumber) and becomes effective June 24, 1943.

The actual increase in cost to the average individual farmer will be only $1.50 per year according to OPA's study. Against this slight increase the farmer would be faced with a lack of lumber for such items as hog pens,

brooder houses and farm construction, resulting in very serious losses in crops and live stock.

Similarly, the increased cost of fitting oud a house with storm windows and storm doors might be two or three dollars; but the failure to get the storm windows and doors would cost more than that in fuel for a single month, OPA pointed out.

It will now be possible for yards to pass on the $3 addition as such sales as are governed by Regulation 215, (Distribution Yard Sales of Softwood Lumber). Moreover, appropriate price adjustments in stock millwork (MPR 293) and Stock Screen Goods (MPR 381) will be made, officials said.

The $3 increase originally was granted for producers May 31 of this year to compensate them for increased costs resulting from the wage increases for logging workers granted in April with the approval of the War Labor Board.

The $3 increase is applicable to maximum prices , f. o. b. mill, in all sales of the following six listed species in twelve named grades and sizes of'Western pine produced by mills under Order L-290:

Ponderosa pine, Idaho white pine, sugar pine, or lodgepole pine lumber produced in California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon or Washington, and white fir,'Western white spruce or Engelmann spruce lumber produced in California, fdaho, Montana, and in parts of Oregon and Washington East of the crest of the Cascade Mountains.

The twelve specific grades are: No. 1, No.2, No.3, No. 4, and No. 5 common; all grades of inch shop, grades of No. 2 and, No. 3 shop 5/4 inch and thicker; No. 1 and No. 2 box, No. 1 and No. 2 dimension.

For small mills not producing lumber under Order L-29O, maximum prices f. o. b, mill, may be increased $3 on all Western Pine lumber produced, regardless of species, grade or size.

Revised MPR No. 215

Establishment of specific maximum prices for softwood lumber sold by distribution yards-both wholesale and retail-in 16 New England, Middle Atlantic area and Middle Western States, part of Virginia, and the District of Columbia, was announced by the Office of Price Adtninistration.

The new maximum prices are created through issuance of a schedule oI specific mark-ups which may be added by yards to mill dollars-and-cents prices provided in the various OPA lumber regulations. Mill prices, plus freight, plus these specific mark-ups, give distribution yards the maximum prices at which they may sell softwood lumber.

The mark-ups, called "interim mark-ups," are preseuted to the trade in Revised Price Regulation No. 215, which becomes effective June D, 1943.

The new uniform pricing procedure is for use only by distribution yards in 16 States, part of Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The States are listed in the Regulation. However, similar schedules of uniform mark-ups for use in calculating maximum prices, each tailored to meet regional needs, will be provided for yards throughout otlrer regions of the nation in the fttture, OPA said.

Specifically, Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 does the following:

1. I,t establishes "interim mark-ups" for all yard stock sales of softwoods in two specific geographical regions designated as the North Central and North Atlantic areas.

2. It establishes a uniform mark-up of $5 per 1,000 board feet and 10 per cent on all sales by wholesale yards and '.CPA" yards throughout the nation.

3. It establishes in the two areas an additional set of "working charges" to be used with the interim area markups.

The States making up the tu'o regions in which "interim ceilings" are established are:

North Central Region: Western Pennsylvania from the Western boundaries of Juniata, Perry, Cumberland, Adams, Tioga, Lycoming, Union and Snyder counties; West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, the lower peninsula of Michigan and Illinois.

North Atlantic Region: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, the counties of Pennsylvania not included in the North Central Region, Fairfax and Arlington counties and the city of Alexandria in Virginia.

The new interim mark-up prices will result in l,igher. prices for some yards, and lower prices for others. But, OPA said, the over-all effect of the new prices will be to "relieve a squeeze" on some yards caused by advances in mill prices, and, at the same time, "roll back" exorbitant prices certain yards have been charging, continuing, however, the average level of prices for softwood lumber established by the General Maximum Price Regulation, which formerly governed the bulk of softwood distribution yard sales.

The "interim mark-ups," which yards may add to mill prices established by OPA in regulations covering the individual species of lumber, in 'effect provide "dollar-andcents" prices for the yards in the areas covered, OPA said.

The "interim mark-ups" will remain in efiect until "permanent dollars-and-cents prices, based on a thorough nation-wide study of the costs and mark-up practices of the industry, can be issued," OPA added.

mum Price Regulation No. 215 in two specified geographical areas, cover all grades and sizes of softwood lumber which are now under dollars-and-cents ceilings at the mill level, and all sales out of yard stock which were not already covered in Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 prior to the revision. (Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 previously covered only sales out of yard stock of softwood lumber in quantities of 5,000 board feet or over to six classes of buyers who normally purchased in large quantities')

The new interim ceilings are: the f.o.b. mill maximum price of a species, grade and size, plus carlot freight from a sp€cified basing point to the yard, plus a $5 per 1,000 board feet handling charge, plus a "specified percentage mark-up."

The "specified percentage mark-ups" which may be used with the other components in computing interim ceiling prices in the North Central and North Atlantic Regions are as follows:

For "commons" in quantities of 1,000 board feet and over, 30 per cent.

For "uppers" in quantities of 1,000 board feet and over, 4O per cent.

For all grades in quantities under 1,000 board feet, 50 per cent.

In addition, an extra 10 per cent mark-up is permitted on sales involving $7.50 or less.

Eventually similar "interim ceilings," tailored to meet local conditions, will be provided for yards in other geographical areas.

Uniform Mark-Up for Wholesale and'CPA" Yards

In another addition to the provisions governing yard sales of softwood lumber by retail yards, Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 establishes a uniform maximum mark-up of $5 per 1,000 board feet and 1O per cent on all sales by wholesale yards and "CPA" yards located anyrvhere in the United States.

OPA said this new uniform maximum mark-up for wholesale and "CPA" yards would reduce their maximum

prices on small sales, but will increase to 10 per cent from 5 per cent their mark-up on sales to other yards. Sales to other yards are usually large lot sales, and constitute the major part of the wholesale yards' business.

(Note: A "CPA" yard is a yard engaged in stock-piling lumber for distribution to consumers under directives from the War Department.)

Additional Working Charges

The following changes are made in working charges applicable to sales by yards in the North Central and North Atlantic regions

1. A new set of higher "working" charges is established for sales carrying mark-ups of higher than $5 per 1,000 board feet plus 10 per cent.

Studies disclosed that the cost of milling and performing other work is considerably higher in small sales than in the large-volume wholesale type of sale, and the revised regulation makes adjustments accordingly, OPA said.

2. A schedule of specific "set-up" charges is provided for small quantity orders.

Previously on quantities under 2,000 board feet a charge for working lumber could be made as if. 2,m feet had been processed, OPA pointed out. This, however, proved excessive in certain cases, such as special workings, where the rvorking charge was high.

Compensation for individual workings on small cluantity orders has now been calculated, and specific charges applicable on specific quantity orders ar6 set forth in the regulation.

She thinks of these things, too, when she buys NTar Bonds on pay day. They not only are helping speed up Victory now, but also will help finance their home building rfter Victory has been won.
