lfPB Estimater Lumber Needs Exceed Production

Lumber production during the first six months of 1943 totaled I6,023,743,W board feet, according to estimates released by WPB's Lumber and Lumber Products Division. This figure represents half the 1943 domestic production goal of 32 billion board feet set by the Division last January, but it does not assure that revised 1943 requirements will be met, Division officials stated. The year's lumber consumption for military and essential civilian needs is now estimated at about 36 billion board feet. Moreover, a normal seasonal decrease in production is to be expected in the fourth quarter of the year.

June' production was 3,015,030,000 board feet, a 1.9 per cent increase from that of May, approximating the normal seasonal rise for the country as a whole.

Breakdown of June production by regions, as estimated from field surveys and samplings made by the U. S. Forest Service in cooperation with WPB, follows:

East: Northeastern, L94,7n,W0 board feet; Appalachian, 170,595,000 board feet; North Central, 50,576,000 board feet; South Central, 76,3O7,W board feet; Lake States, 85,8(n,000 board feet; South, 997,723W board feet; Prairie, 5,710,000 board feet.

West: North Pacific, 1,018,865,000 board feet; South Pacific, 250,352,000 board feet; Northern Rocky Mountain, 111,048,000 board feet; Southern Rocky Mountain, 53,325,000 board feet.

Terrible Twenty Golf Tournament

The 208th Terrible Twenty golf tournament was held at Oakmont Golf Club, Thursday, September 16. Frank Berger did a fine job as host to seventeen members and nine guests. No luncheon, "as this is war," was the edict, but a real chicken dinner was served after the game and there was plenty of entertainment during the evening.

Joining the T.T.T. in March, 1942, George Lockwood, J. Niederer Co., won his first prize, his net 73 took in the unbreakable poker chips and case. Frank Berger, Standard Lime Products Co., and Bob Falconer, General Tile Co., seem to have a way all their own in shooting the elusive pill over the barrancas and amongst the trees. Their net 75's tied for second prize-a sweater. This tie will be played off at next month's tournament. The three scarce and prized golf balls were awarded to Harold Jackson, Jackson Bros. & Le Sage; Bob Falconer and Vic Jones.

The third round of match play follows: First Flight: Bob Osgood defeated Roy Stanton by default; Ed Bauer defeated C. C. Bohnhoff, I up. Second Flight: Hervey Bowles defeated Vic Jones, 4 and 2; Gene DeArmond won, drawing a bye.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Pending action on a petition for a ceiling price increase, the Office of Price Administration (OPA) today authorized producers of red cedar shingles to make sales and deliveries on an adjustable pricing basis.

When the WiId Geese Fly

Every year when the grass grows gray, And the sun hangs low on a soggy day, When the late rose lifts a faltering head, To the summer days that are almost dead; Every year when a mellow note, Floats down from some squadron-leader's throat, Faint and clear through the gun-room runs, A rustle of boots and a whisper of guns. A whisper of guns. A memory lifts

And out of a rain-torn curtain drifts

A rushing sound from ordered wings

As a phantom legion wheels and swings. Wheels and swings on an airy track, Now faint, now clear, now beating back. Feathered troopa from a fog-drenched land, Ruled by the beck of a Master's hand.

Ah, gallant geese of the misty dawn, What age-old instinct leads you on?

What voice from some soft summer sea Calls out, and winging wild and free Your mighty pinions beat the air, To bear you, all unguided there? No man may know; but a spirit sings

And a heart beats high to the rush of wings.

Diplomcrcy

The Bcnker Reporter: "And how did you start your financial career?"

Financier: "I had nothing to do so I rented an empty store and put up a sign 'Bank.' A man dropped in and made a deposit of $25O. The next day another man came in and deposited $300. The third day I had developed so much confidence in my own enterprise that I put in $50 of my own. And that's the way the thing started."

Ttre Trcrinmcn's Prcryer

An old railroad man was converted at a religious revival, and when they asked him to lead the congregation in prayer. he diil this way:

"O Lord, now that f have flagged Thee, tift my feet off the rough deck of life and plant them firmly on the deck of the train of Salvation. Let me use the safety lampi known as prudence, make all couplings on the train with the strong link of Thy Love, and, Heavenly Father, keep all the switches closed that lead off the sidings, especially those with a blind end. O Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have every semiphore blocked along the line; show the white Iight of hope, ttrat I may make the run of Life without stopping; and, Lord, give us the Ten Commandments as a schedule. And when my train shall have pulled into the great, dark station of Death, may Thou say with a smile: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant! Come up and sign the payroll, and receive your check for eternal happiness !"
