Much of the wood going into processing plants produciag synthetic rubber is flame-proofedinipregnated with Minalith* fue retardant. II exposed to flame, structural members retain their high sbength without sudden collapse, contributing to greater salety.

Arnerican L'rnbss & Treating Company employs the same scien"fic methods in producingr rhis flame-proofed wood as with Wolmanized Lumber*-wood nade highly resistant to decay and termite aftack.

The directions cover specified species and provide that, sawmills over certain sizes (measured by production) must give military orders pre,cedence over all other orders, except those rated AAA, up to specified percentages of their anticipated monthly shipments.

Provisions of the five directions are identical except that the sizes of the sawmills that must give precedence to military orders and the percentage of shipments for preferred mititary ordprs vary. '

Species covered by the directions follow:

Direction 1: Douglas fir, white fir, noble fir, Sitka spruce (except aircraft grade) and west coast hemlock, when these species are produced in the States of Oregon and Washington west of the crest of the Cascade Mountain range. This area is generally known commercially as the West Coast lumber region.

Direction 2: Ponderosa pine, sugar pine, lodgepole pine, Idaho white pine, white fir, Douglas fir, western white spruce, Engelmann spruce and larch when produced in the area generally known commercially as the western pine area-that is, in the States of Arizona, Neriv Mexico, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota and Wyoming and those portions of Washington and Oregon east of the crest of the Cascade Mountains. The directions do not include any Douglas fir, Idaho white pine or w,hite fir produced in Oregon and Washing- ;; . ton west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains. '

Direction 3: Redwood produced in California. ,.1'1

Direction 4: Southern yellow pine. (Prodtrced in the',{1 eleven Southern States.)

Direction 5 : Red or yellow cypress. (Chieflv produced:3 ' i in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Louisiana.)

Provisions of Direction 1 follow:

Military orders take frecedence over other orders in saw-l; mills producing 25;000 or more board feet of lumber per:av1i, erage day of continuous operation, or sawmills that.gro:ii duced an average of 25,000 or"more board feet per day dur-# ing the days they were in operation in the six-month periodi; June 3, 1943, to December 3,1943.

To the extent that military orders are received, up to;, 35 per cent of such sawmills' expected monthly shipmeot-i:) must be on such orders. These orders take precedence ovef:i all other orders, except those rated AAA, ,i,

A direction on hardwoods somewhat similar to these five-'' and a direction on softwoods will be issued shortly, WPB:]
