And the humblest and most amusing answer about the American army was given by an old colored man in a Southern city where the streets are filled with soldiers most of the time. In front of the hotel this old darkey tipped his hat to a uniformed man, and said, "Mawnin' Sarjent.', The officer glared, and said: "I'm not a Sergeant; I'm a Major." The old darkey said: "Scuse me, Majah. An I sho hopes you gits t'be a Sarjent some time." **{<

The old fellows who seriously wonder whether the Am-. erican soldiers in our new army are as good as those that fought under Pershing, would do well to remember that war is like love. One old fellow said: "I don't believe the young men make love now like they did in the old days.', And a youngster answered: "Yes they do, Mister. The only difference is, there's a new qang doing it."

Bidding his son goodbye, he said: ',Son, go out there and fight for your country. And when you meet any of them damn Germans or Japs, shoot'em down jest like you would a bunch of revenuers.', ***

They do not propose to allow a man to deliver a speech prepared by others. They want him to get up and speak his thoughts, without mechanics or affectation. And do you know that while Churchill is undoubtedly the greatest orator in all British history, there are several others over there right now who can push him hard for ability of expression, word pictures, phrase making, and all around eloquence that bubbles from the heart and mind to the lips?
I've read several recent samples of current British oratory that were simply thrilling. When a man rises to his feet with a message in his mind, inspiration in his heart, and thrill in his soul, the words that he utters then are oratory' spontaneous and unmechanical.
Walter G. Scrim, Los Angeles importer of hardwoods and lumber, has organized a company in Mexico called the Mexican Hardwood Company S.A. The mill will be in production in about three weeks and will have a capacity of. 25,ffi0 board feet per day. It will produce hardwood timbers suitable for use in the war industries, including Letcha Maria, Sacasara, Prima Vera and Mojo Guanacastle. He is also importing Tabasco Mahogany and other Mexican woods.
Mr. Scrim, who has been importing Philippine Mahogany for many years and is United States representative for the Findlay Millar Timber Co., states that he has not heard anything from their mill in the Philippine fslands since the Japs took Cebu, and has no idea what the situation is over there.

The following questions and answers were issued by the Office of Defense Transportat(on on the new ODT truck regulations:
1.Q. When do the new regulations become effective?
A. General Order ODT No. 3, Revised, becomes effective August 1. General Order ODT No. 17 becomes effective August 1, except for one main provision which takes effect September 1.
2. Q. What trucks operations are affected by new or revised orders ?
A. Operations of all trucks are affected to some extent, except tank trucks, trucks controlled or operated by persons whose principal occupation is farming, trucks controlled, owned or operated by the armed forces, and trucks operated within the boundaries of any industrial or manufacturing plant.
3. Q. How have the various truck operations been reclassified by new or revised orders?
A. Originally there were four truck conservation orders. Order 3 covered over-the-road operations of common 'carriers. Order 4 covered over-the-road operations of contract carriers. Order 5 covered over-the-road operations of private carriers. Order 6 covered local delivery operation of common, contract and private carriers. IJnder the new set-up, operations of private and contract carriers, both local and over-the-road will be under General Order ODT No. 17. Over-the-road operations of common carriers will be under General Order ODT No. 3, Revised, and local delivery operations of common carriers will be under Order 6. which is to be revised.
4. Q. How are the various types of carriers defined in the orders ?
A. Carriers which hold themselves out to the general public to transport property for hire are defined as "common carriers". All others, including contract and private carriers, are define_d as "motor carriers". Thus common carriers come under Orders 3 and 6. all others under Order 17.
5. Q. Which of the original orders will Order 17 supplant?
A. Order 17 takes the place of Orders 4 and 5 and all provisions of Order 6 as they apply to contract and private carriers.
6. Q. Do the new or revised orders make any change in mileage reduction requirements for trucks?
A. Under the original orders, which remain in effect until supplanted by new and revised orders, only carriers engaged in local delivery service are required to reduce mileage. The mileage reduction required is 25 per cent, as compared with the corresponding month of. 1941, after elimination of certain non-essential services. IJnder Order 17, the 25 per cent mileage reduction requirement has been extended to all operations of contract and private carriers, over-the-road as well as local. There is no mileage restriction on over-the-road operations of common carriers.
7. Q. How is local delivery service distinguished from overthe-road service?
A. Local delivery service includes any operation within a municipality or urban community and within 25 air miles of its boundaries. It also includes any operation within or between contiguous municipalities or urban communities or any operation of not more than 25 miles in length. All other bperations are considered as over-the-road service.
8. Q. When does a delivery originating outside the boundaries of a municipality or urban community become an over-the-road operation?
A. When the truck has travelled more than 25 miles in making the delivery. Ary truck operation of not more than 25 miles in length is a local delivery operation, under the orders.
9. Q. Are there any circumstances in which an operation of more than 25 miles in length would be a local delivery operation, under the orders?
A. Yes; a delivery originating at the center of a large municipality and terminating 25 air miles from its boundaries would involve considerably more mileage but would still be a local deliverv. under the orders. The same would be true of a delivery originating in one municipality and terminating in a contiguous municipality, although the operation might cover more than 25 miles.
10. Q. If a carrier was not operating during the corresponding month of last year what does he use as a basis for mileage reduction ?
A. The mileage travelled during May 1942 must be used in such cases.
11.Q. What about a carrier who was not in operation during May 1942?
A. Such carrier is prohibited from instituting or continuing a truck operation until the mileage which such carrier may operate has been determined and approved by the ODT.
12. Q. May a carrier maintaining operating bases in several cities base his mileage reduction on his entire operation ?
A. No. The mileage of each operating unit must be reduced 25 per cent.
13. Q. Does the 25 per cent reduction apply to the total mileage of the operating unit?
A. Not necessarily. Contract and private carriers are required to eliminate all special deliveries, except to hospitals, all call backs and more than one delivery a day to the same point, except under certain circumstances. After the mileage operated irr such services has been deducted from the total mileage of an operating unit, the remaining mileage must be reduced 25 per cent.
14. Q. What is an operating unit, under Order 17?
base constitutes an operating unit.
May such an operating base include two or more terminals or loading platforms?
Yes, if they are in the same city.
A. A fleet of trucks operating from the same general 1s.Q. A. 16.Q.
In the event a carrier has added to the mileage of an operating unit during the preceding 12 months through the purchase of a new operation, how does he go about determining how much mileage to eliminate ?
A.
The purchaser must first determine the number of miles- driven to the acquired operation during the month of 1941 which is to be used as a basis for comparison. Then he must add this mileage to the mileage of his original operation in such unit for that month. The mileage of the operating unit for the corresponding month of L942 must be reduced by an amount equal to 25 per cent of this total.
17. Q. What about a carrier who has reduced the mileage
of an operating unit by disposing of an operation within the unit during the preceding 12 months ?
A. The mileage of the operation disposed of is deducted from the total mileage of the operating unit. The remaining mileage must be reduced by 25 per cent.
18. Q. What trucks are not covered by mileage restrictions?
A. As pointed out above, Order No. 3, governing overthe-road operations of common carriers, contains no mileage reduction provision. Tank trucks, farmeroperated trucks, military trucks, and trucks operated lvithin industrial plants, also are not afiected, since they are exempt from Order 17.
19. Q. Are any other trucks specifically exempt from the , mileage restriction ?
A. Yes. Trucks occupied by mounted machinery, trucks engaged exclusively in the transportation of explosives, trucks hauling repair or maintenance men and their supplies and equipment, sanitation trucks, trucks used in the maintenance or repair of public utilities, trucks operated under the direction of the armed forces, trucks operated in emergencies for the protection of life and health, and trucks handling telegraph, radio and cable communications, and the United States mails.
20.Q. Are such trucks exempt from any other restrictions?
A. Yes. They are also exempt from the capacity-load provisions and from ristriction on the number of deliveries, including special deliveries. Trucks occupied by mounted machinery (special equipment) also are exempt from the maximum load provision.
zl,Q.What is the capacity-load provision and to what trucks does it apply?
A. Beginning August 1, trucks operated in over-theroad service, whether by common, contract or private carrier, must be loaded to capacity on a "considerable portion" of the outgoing or incoming trip.
22. Q, Are the carriers under any further loading requirements i
A. Yes, all over-the-road carriers, under Orders 3 and 17, are required to use "due diligence" to maintain full loads on their trucks at all times while en route.
23. Q. Are there any specific requirements, other than the exercise of due diligence?
A. Common carriers must register with Joint Information Oflices, as established in accordance with General Order ODT No. 13, in an effort to obtain full loads. If a common carrier cannot obtain a full load for a scheduled trip he must register his truck or trucks and offer to rent or lease such equipment to other carriers able to obtain property for shipment. Private and contract carriers must register their trucks for rent or lease before such trucks may depart empty from any point.
24. Q. In the event no Joint Information Office has been established in the vicinity where a carrier is seeking a load for a truck, what must he do ?
A. He is required to make appropriate inquiries of other carriers on his own initiative.

Two gentlemen from New York's East Side who were feeling rather prosperous, decided that they would celebrate by going to one of the high class restaurants and having a swell dinner. So they did. Everything was fine, and they smacked their lips over each course of food from soup to nuts. But when the waiter brought the check, he also set down before each of the Hebrews a finger bowl. They looked long and hard at these curious objects, then at one, another, and finally at the waiter. One of them, unable to

"Finger bowls," said the waiter. And as they looked still more confused, he added, "to wash your fingers in."
The second guest looked at his friend who had asked the question.

Under the provisions of Amendment 12 to the General Maximum Price Regulation, retail line yards which had a fixed practice during March, 1942, of. selling at uniform or substantially uniform prices at all their branches, or at a group of establishments located in a particular area, may use uniform maximum prices under the General Maximum Price Regulation in all such above mentioned branches.
fn order to do so, they may make written application to the Office of Price Administration, Retail Trade and Services Division, \Mashington, D. C., for authorization to use such uniform prices. The application should state (a) name and address of principal office; (b) number of separate retail establishments and address of each such establishment; (c) kind of merchandise carried; (d) whether commodities - are purchased centrally and distributed by the seller to such retail establishments or are purchased separately by each branch; (e) a description of the fixed practice of the seller, indicating the length of time during which such practice of selling at uniform or substantially uniform prices has been in effect, and whether uniform selling prices are determined in a central office; (f) names and addresses of the seller's most closely competitive sellers of the same class on a national or regional basis; and (g) any other facts which the seller wishes to submit in support of the application.
The amendment is now in effect.
The lumber industry is singled out by Price Administrator Leon Henderson as paramount to the war effort, in connection with the rationing of tires for delivery trucks. Recognition of the industry's importance came in the announcement that drastic new cuts in the list of trucks eligible'for tires are being studied as a measure to keep the most vital vehicles rolling.
In reviewing the problem of keeping essential trucks on the job-trucks that haul building materials for the new Army camps-particular mention was made by the Price Administrator of the importance of "the vital softwood lumber industry", which has been called upon by the government to double its production to meet the needs of the war machine. He reports that cases are being reported to his office of the laying down of large fleets of trucks because of lack of tires, and that this is delaying the construction schedule.
The Price Administrator concludes his reference to the importance of the industry as follows: "The functions of trucks of this kind are vital to our war effort. Any substantial tie-up of the services they perform could defeat us more quickly than an invading army. The less essential trucks must stand aside so that we can go full speed ahead with the job of winning the war."
A fire at the Cal-West Lumber Company yard, El Monte, on August 4 destroyed lumber stocks, the loss being estimater at $25,000.

O. V. Wilson, president of the Central Lumber Company, Stockton, has announced that his firm has contracted for the production of. 200 prefabricated houses, totaling $728,000, for the Benicia Defense Housing Project. Contractors for the project, which is under the Federal Public Housing Authority, is a newly formed partnership to be known as Claude T. Lindsay and Martel Wilson. Mr. Lindsay is head of a large San Francisco Bay District contracting firm, and Mr. Wilson is vice-president of the Central Lumber Company. Negotiations are under way by the company for the prefabrication of a similar project in Napa, and a third project in the Richmond area.
The demountable dwellings will be manufactured in the company's Stockton plant and u'ill be turned out at the rate
of 12 per day. The houses will be trucked to the Bay District where they will be erected and made ready for use.
Central Lumber Company is considered a pioneer in prefabricated homes and has constructed some 400 houses to date. Last summer the firm was instrumental in negotiating a contract with the Federal Works Agency Lor 992 houses in Vallejo. The contractors on the Vallejo project 'u/ere Barrett & Hilp of San Francisco. The Central Lumber Company produced 200 units of the Vallejo project in its Stockton plant, at the rate of 8 houses a day, and assisted in setting up an Oakland plant which prefabricated the remainder of these houses.
The new contracts are based on cost plus a fixed fee, in accordance with the government's latest method of letting
O. V. WilsorL Preaidant Mcrtel D. Wilson, Vice-PregidEnt contracts and the Treasury Department's proposal for limiting profits of war contracts to a maximum of 6 per cent.
They will employ 150 carpenters, apprentices and laborers in connection with this Benicia project. Martel Wilson will be in charge of the production of the prefabrication of the houses for the Benicia job and also the two other contemplated projects. Chester Gianelli will be general superintendent of the Central Lumber Company's prefabricated department, assisted by Merle Eisenhart, Arthur J. Smith, and Harold Akerman. Paul Wilson, secretary of the company, will handle the procurement of all materials.
This progressive lumber concern has ah interesting history. It is an outgrowth of the old C. L. Hatch Lumber Company which began business in Stockton in 1914 as a second-hand lumber yard. It was incorporated in 1918 and purchased in 1919 by S. H. Rothermel, who became president, and O. V. Wilson, who became secretary-treasurer, and with them were associated J. W. Jacobson and Albert Snyder as silent stockholders. It was operated under the supervision of Messrs. Rothermel and Wilson until 1928 when they purchased the stock owned by Messrs. Jacobson and Snyder, and the business thrived under their leadership. In 1935, Mr. Rothermel wished to retire and his entire stock was purchased by O. V. Wilson and his three sons, Martel, Vincent and Paul, all of whom became active officials of the corporation. Under the management of this quartet, "'Wilson,'Wilson, Wilson and Wilson," the business has been expanded and enlarged.

(Here is one of the most exquisite poems of the first World War. It was written by a war mother, Mrs. John B. Evans, of Selma, Alabama. There is a thrill in every line.)
Do you wonder, dear, what they say to me, These knitting needles, two?
As the dull-grey wool, and khaki's gold, In turn pass o'er and through?
They say to me-yet none may hear'Tis so far in the dim, deep past, While heart and mind keep time, and croon, To the lad whom my soul holds fast.
"God gave unto you"-they whisper low, "Threads of beauty not wrought of hand;" Didst thou weave them well? Will thy stitch hold true?
Somewhere in that No-Man's Land?
They were thine alone e'en before earth's light Or the eyes of man might lrrow; Oh, tell us now, did'st thou render well?
Ah! The proving alone must show.
'bid'st thou weave them true?" they still sing on, ' "The pattern of Christ was thine;" Will thy stitch hold fast-each day must prove, Oh, Mothers, your boy-and mine ! The needles fall from my trembling hands, My soul to its God stands bare !
While the blind tears from my eyes fall fastThen I see-Oh, my boy, so fairt
"V/hjr, Mother dear," I hear him say, With the same sweet boyish kiss; tt'Twas for God and for thee, we came away,"
Greater love hath no man than this.
Fear not! Though he walk through death's shadows deep, A voice fills my soul with song"If thy stitches fail, and thy threads grow weak, His Savior will make them strong.'
Oh, Mother-heart of the world today, Torn, bleeding, crushed, afraid, For the child of thy soul in yon far-off war-
Trust thy God! Be not dismayed!
Two pierced hands-with Infinite Love Will Strengthen thy threads so frail, Thy boy to his God and you holds true; Dear Mothers, he will not fail !
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, w€ cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
During the course of a physical examination of a new army recruit, the doctor said to him:
"Young man, have you any scars on you?"
The soldier-to-be said:
"No, sir, but if you'Il excuse me a minute I'll get you a cigarette out of my coat pocket.',
And then, of coursg there was the flapper who said that her ambition was to move to Hollywood, and live in a house with seven gables.
"My son," asked the proud father, ,,why do you always stay at the foot of the class?,'
"But, Daddy," replied the boy, .tt really nakes no difrerence. Teacher gives us the same lesson at both ends.',

Col. W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, is opposed to Governor Pinchot's proposal for immediate legislation to place all forests and forest cuttings under control of the Federal Government. In a letter dated July 23, 1942, Col. Greeley states:
"Governor Pinchot has asked the people of this country to urge immediate legislation which would place the Federal Government in control of all forests and forest cutting. He asks this on the strength of 'vast forest destruction' brought on by the needs of war. He asks it at the very time when Suez is threatened, the Russian front is wavering under fresh attack, the sinking of American ships is increasing and the whole issue of the war is at stake.
"No country should hesitate to draw upon its capital resources in time of war. We are drawing heavily upon our forests; but the fear of their widespread destruction is groundless. As a matter of fact, our total cut of lumber last year was under 35 billion feet-less than we took from the forests every year during the decade ending in 1929 when home and farm building was active. We will cut no more this year-a scant 2 per cent of the 1,700 billion feet of standing timber. Surely this modest use, no more than the cut in many peacetime years, is no occasion for driving through Congress a drastic extension of Federal power, over private business and property, under plea of national emergency.
"Whether timber growing in the United States should be placed under Federal control or left to private enterprise and such regulation as the several states deem necessary is a proper subject for Congressional study. The private owners and growers of timber are not afraid to try the case o{ forestry by decree vs. forestry by free enterprise before the court of public opinion. But this should not be done when Congress and the people are so concerned with the bitter problems of a war which is going none too well, that the court of public opinion may become a drumhead courtmartial.
"The winning of the war does not depend on this legislation. To attempt it may indeed impede the war effort through disunity-at a time when all our energies should
be concentrated upon the real emerg'ency. Unless we win the war, the discussion is academic. It can well await the sober consideration of the American people when peace has been re-established.
"The forest supply of the United States is not as serious as Governor Pinchot fears. There is plenty of room for improvement; some forest destruction still goes on. But timber growing-private as well as public-is gaining steadily. In the Pacific Northwest, 7rl million acres of junior forests, mostly in private ownership, are growing up to 1,000 board feet of new timber on every acre, every year. More millions of recently-cut acres are stocking up with young trees. Most of the logging follows a code of forest practice which insures reforestation if fire is kept out; and the acreage of regrowing land is gaining on the annual cuttings. A cooperative forest nursery, maintained by the industry, will soon distribute five million young trees for planting every year. And some two million acres of commercial tree farms are leading in improved fire prevention and timber culture.
"Lumbermen are growing trees in many States. Southern pineries are now cutting their second or third crops. There are industrial tree farms in Michigan, in ldaho, in New England. A large part of the industry accepts timber growing as part of its job.
"We owe much to Governor Pinchot for his leadership in forest conservation. Many of his ideas are now accepted and practiced by lumbermen. We cordially invite the Governor to come to the Northwest and see for himself what is doing in timber cropping and permanent forest industries.
"Lumbermen welcome public inquiry, when it can be thorough and judicial. But they object to an efiort to stampede the country into drastic legislation, under fear of an emergency which does not exist."
Myron L. Hoag, chief accountant for White Brothers, wholesale hardwood importers and dealers, San Francisco, volirnteered and was recently accepted in the U. S. Air Corps ryith the rank of Lieutenant. He is now at an officers'school at Miami Beach, Florida.
William G. Bingham, district director, Federal Housing Administration, Los Angeles, under date of laly 3O' 1942, sent the following Circular Letter No. 140 to all approved lending institutions:
"'We are advised today by the National Housing Agency that effective immediately, the only area in the Los Angeles Defense Area where applications for preference ratings for critical materials for war housing, PD-105, will be approved is in that portion of the coastal cities, southeast cities and harbor area, lying south of the line of Manchester and Firestone Boulevards.
"Effective today, our office will discontinue the, processing of PD-105 applications in the now ineligible areas and such applications may be considered as dead. Any PD-105 applications submitted to our office in the future in ineligible areas will be rejected.
"PD-105 applications in process in our office in the areas remaining eligible will continue to be processed but will not be forwarded to the National Housing Agency until that Agency provides us with a schedule of permissible brackets and sub-area quotas in which preference ratings may be issued. PD-105 applications submitted to us in the eligible areas will be accepted and similarly processed.
"Applicants who have submitted or do submit applications in the eligible areas must be cautioned that there remains a question concerning their ultimate approval pending the schedule of permissible brackets and sub-area quotas to be set by the National Housing Agency.
"One requirement for the processing of applications for Mortgage fnsurance for new construcion or Property Eligibility Statements under Title I, Class 3 is that a P-55 has been issued. Effective August 3 all such applications pending in our office on which a P-55 has not been issued and in which the subject cases are in the now ineligible areas will be rejected. All such applications in ineligible areas submitted to this office in the future shall be rejected in Preliminary Examination unless evidence that the P-55 has been issued accompanies the applications. Also Circular Letter No. 134 remains in effect.
"A P-55 already issued remains in efrect in accordance with its terms even if the subject property is located in a now ineligible area.
"The eligibility of any particular property for preference rating, even though located in an eligible area, remains subject to its qualifying under the commuting distance formula with relation to a recognized war activity located in an eligible area."

Charles H. Griffen, retired lumberman and a resident of Southern California for more than fifty-one years, passed away at his home in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 30. He was born in Albany, New York, and was eighty-five years of age.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Maria B. Griffen; a daughter, Mrs. James Jarrott, and a son, Dr. Bedford Griffen. He was the father of the late Charles H. Griffef,, Jr., who was prominent in California lumber circles for many years, and grandfather of Charles H. Griffen, III, formerly sales manager for the Monterey Redwood Company, at Santa Cruz, Calit., and now in the U. S. Army Transport Service.
Funeral services were held in the chapel of Edwards Brothers Colonial Mortuary, Los Angeles, Saturday afternoon, August 1. Artesia Lodge No. 379 F. & A.M. ofiiciated at the graveside in Inglewood Parktemetery.
The pallbearers were C. W. Pinkerton, Arthur E. Twohy, J. E. Pinkerton, Don Sutherin, Henry Roschmann, and Percy Bruner.
W. F. Montgomery, a former business associate of Mr. Griffen, wrote the following tribute:
"The recent death of Charles H. Griffen at the ripe old age of 85 years, my old friend of nearly fifty years and former business associate, marks the passing of nearly the last of the Southern California lumbermen of the 90's, and one who continued active in the industry until recent years.
"I first met Mr. Grifren, or "Griff," as he was Tamiliarly known, in the year of 1894 when he was connected with a Portland, Oregon, company that operated yards in Redondo and Los Angeles. He located in Los Angeles in 1893 after having had lumber experience in the South. Mr. Grif-
fen was with this company for a number of years during which time he conducted a lumber yard under the name of Denison & Grifien, located at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Grand Avenue, Los Angeles. Later on, he' moved to Denver, Colorado, and was connected with the Chicago Lumber Company until 1900 when he returned to Los Angeles.
"The writer and Mr. Mullin had just fornred a partnership and were starting in business. We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Griffen as bookkeeper, and when the business was incorporated he became secretary of the company, which position he held until its liquidation in 1918 when it was sold to the Patten-Davis Lumber Company (now Patten-Blinn Lumber Company).
Although Mr. Griffen had arrived at the age of 60 years he decided to continue in business, and located at Artesia where he operated a lumber business of his own with marked success for a number of years until he disposed of the yard to the Barr Lumber Company interests, and finally retired when well over 70 years.
"Whatever measure of success attended the operation of the Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Co. was due in a larg.e measure to the intelligent cooperation and marked ability of Mr. Griffen as a lumberman. He was an optimist and his slogan "there is always a rvay out" covered every adverse situation.
"Old Grifr," as many of the young employes called him, was a "father confessor" to them and set a good example for them to follow, and many showed their appreciation by serving at the last ceremony, after twenty-five years' separation. Hail and farewell to a faithful friend, a good citizen and a loving husband and father, who is held in affectionate memorY."

this requirement until November 1. They will also be exempt from the 25 per cent mileage reduction and the limitation on number of deliveries for the same period.
A.Q. Are these trucks exempted by the order?
A. This exemption is contained in General Permit ODT 17-r.
D.Q. Are additional exemptions planned?
A. A number of additional general permits covering special operations will be issued.
30. Q. May contract and private carriers take additional steps to fulfill the objectives of Order 17, other _than registering their trucks for rent or lease with Joint Information Offices or making inquiries of other carriers ?
A. Such carriers mav take ioint action under certain conditions. Wher6 such joint action involves local delivery service, the carriers must comply with the joint statement issued by the Office of Defense Transportation and the Department of Justice under ' date of March 12. 1942. The order further reads : "In accordance with such statement, proposed plans for pooling or cooperating deliveries, for curtailing services, or entering into other arrangements involving joint action may, if desired, be submitted to this Office for approval. In order that this Office may be informed concerning plans which have been or are hereafter placed in operation without such prior submission for consideration and approval, a copy of each plan shall be filed with this Office."
With respect to joint action by contract and private carriers involving over-the-road service, the order reads:
"'Whenever joint action between two or more motor carriers is contemplated with respect to overthe-road service in order to accomplish any of the purposes of this subpart, such carriers may formulate and submit to this Office for consideration a plan or plans designed to accomplish such purposes. No action shall be taken in furtherance of such plan or plans except in compliance with a specific order or orders issued by this Office."
31. Q. What requirements are common to all trucks affected by the orders?
A. All carriers are required to eliminate wasteful operations and to curtail schedules sufficiently to comply with the orders; they are required to limit speeds to 40 miles an hour, to conserve and properly maintain tires and equipment, and to rent or lease their trucks wherever practicable or necessary to carry out the objectives of the orders.
32. Q. Is the burden placed entirely on the carriers for complying with restrictions on number of deliveries?
A. No. Order 17 requires that "no person shall cause to be made by motor truck and no motor carrier when operating a motor truck shall make" any delivery not in accordance with the terms of the orders. Order 6 includes a similar provision. This makes the person who demands or requests an unauthorized delivery equally responsible with the carrier, should such a delivery be made.
33.Q. Is the load-carrying ability of the tires the only weight limitation which the carrier must observe?
A. The orders provide that no carrier shall be required to load a truck to the point where the gross,weight will exceed the current gross weight limitations of anyState in.which the truck is operated. Neither is a carrier required to violate maximum load limits of any bridge or other structure, as set by State or local highway authorities.
34.Q. Has the ODT set any standards for maximum loads?
A. With the exception of tank trucks, farmer-operated trucks, military trucks and trucks operated within industrial plants, no truck may be loaded to a point where the gross weight will exceed the load-carrying ability of the tires by more than 20 per cent.
35.Q. What are the conditions under which carriers affected by Order 17 may make more than one delivery ?
A. No truck may make more than one delivery from the same point of origin to the same point of destination except under the following circumstances:
1.If the property to be delivered is more than a truck can carry at one time, the truck may make as many deliveries as necessary to complete the operation.
2. A carrier operating different types of speciallyequipped trucks, such as ice and coal trucks, may make a second delivery to the same point on the same day, if the commodity to be delivered on the second trip requires the use of a different type of specially-equipped truck than was used in making the first delivery.
3. A truck which has delivered a load to any point may call later in the same day for the purpose of picking up empty containers, if this does not add to the mileage of the truck. Such a call is defined by the order as a "delivery".
4. An extra delivery may be made on a Friday before a National holiday falling on a Saturday, or on a Saturday before a National holiday falling on a Monday, provided the carrier makes no deliveries on those holidavs.
