all over the world have been heartened by the spectacular success oI the Sth War Loan. They've watched with grim satislaction as the U.S. Home Front lined up solidly behind the ever-widening, ever-advancing Fighting Fronts.

But what you've done is, alter all, exactly what our fighting men erqpected you would do-what any patriotic American would have done. With our men in the armed forces going through blood and fire {rom the beaches of France to the wooded strongholds of the Marianas, it's been our job on the home-front to.bock 'em up-lo make them the

best trained, best equipped, best cared for fighters in the world.

This we must continue to do-Ior war is a continuing job. Equipment is needed-endlessly. Money raised in continuing War Bond sales is needed to supply this equipment.

War Bond selling is your job. And, like the Iighting men's job il ends only with Victory. So revitalize your everyday efforts. Set your goal at a new alltime high. Hold to it-consistently.

Plywood is in the post-war plans of your customers. Make sure it is in yo*r plans for post-war profits.

Mrs. America is looking forward to that warm, livable wood room she's always wanted.

Formedy the tich beauty of wood-paneled rooms was denied her because of the high cost of materials and labor in solid wood construction.

'Weldwood in genuine Walnut, Mahogany, Veldtex,* Knotty Pine, Oak, Gum and other fine hardwoods brings her dream within reach for the first time.

And for those rooms to be covered with paper or paint, inexpensive lTeldwood Utility Panels with their extra-heavy hardwood faces provide an ideal undersurface free from checking or grain raise.

Mr. America is sold on appearance, too.

But the structural advantages of plywood interest him even mote.

He likes the fact that, when he builds, construction time will be shortenedas much as four to six weeks.

He's sold on the fact that, with dri-wall construction instead of plaster, he eliminates the hazards of warping and swelling in sash and wood work.

Wlll Discuss Reconversion Problems

Redwood Seasoning Committee Findings and Postwar Plans

Problems of reconversion, including the distribution of surplus building materials, and postwar industry plans will occupy the directors and delegates of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association when they meet October 25 to 28 at the Mayflower Hotel, Akron, Ohio. The directors and delegates will represent the 22,0N lumber dealers of the United States.

"As lumber dealers constitute the main channel of dist:ibution for materials going into all types of light loadbearing construction-homes, farms, commercial and serv' ice establishments, and industry-supply-this meeting can have far reaching effect on our National economy," stated H. R. Northup, Secretary, National Retail Lumber Dealers .r\ssociation, Washington, D. C.

"IJpon this construction industry lies the burden of taking the first steps toward converting our economy from a war to peace-time basis," Secretary Northup explained. "Lumber dealers as the center of the home building distribution system must be ready to finance and man their business, and to handle the huge quantities of materials that will go into home building the post-war public will demand.

"How fast the slack in employment will be taken up will depend in large measure on how fast private building can get under way as the war ends. The type of homes that rvill be built will depend on the kind of materials that reach lumber dealers' stocks during the first few months after the cessation of hostilities,"

Retcril Group Hecrr Discussions on Order t-335

Two meetings were held recently in Oakland, sponsored by Wood Products Co., Oakland service organization which serves a group of San Francisco Bay district retail lumber yards, for the purpose of hearing discussions on Order L-335.

The first meeting was held at the offices of Wood Pro-' ducts Co. The speaker was Don Campbell, Chief of Marketing Control, Lum,ber and Lumber Products Division War Production Board, Washington, D. C. The second was held August 10 at Hotel Leamington, Oakland. The principal speaker was Stewart C. Gris'ivold, WPB Regional Lumber Adviser. San Francisco.

Research sponsored by the California Redwood lumber industry for means of controlling seasoning defects has borne fruit in form of uniform schedules for receiving casehardening stresses in kiln-dried Redwood lumber.

The investigation was inaugurated early this year through the setting up of a research group, the Redwood Seasoning Committee, composed of kiln operators at member lumber mills. This step, in line with the industry's perennial improvement program, is a looking forward to the servicing of postwar customers with even higher quality and dispatch.

A progress report just made by the committee indicates that in the reconditioning of one-inch kiln dried Redwood lumber, a temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit, rvith relatively high humidities, will entirely relieve casehardening stresses within 24 hours.

The report also stated that an investigation was under way into the use of chemical solutions to facilitate the seasoning of thick stock. Several actual tests have already been made.

Another important phase in seasoning Redwood lumber, now under consideration by the committee, is the proper segregation of stock at the green chain, according to its green moisture content. It is pointed out that such a procedure has a favorable effect on the time in the kiln.

Fir-Tex oI Southern Cclilornic Announces Personnel Chcrnges

Announ,cement is made by Fir-Tex of Southern California that Charles C. Conkey, who has for some years covered the Pasadena to San Bernardino, Imperial Valley, and San Diego County territory, has been brought inside as assistant to Stanley C. Moore, general manager. He has also ,been appointed secretary of Coraltex, fnc., manufactdrers of Coralite and Coralite Handityle, which concern is a subsidiary of Dant & Russell, Inc. Charlie's many friends throughout Southern California will be glad to hear of his well-deserved promotion.

Roy Holker, who was many years with Ker'ckhoff Mill & Lumber Co., and later with C. Ganahl Lumber Co., Los Angeles, is now with Fir'Tex of Southern California as auditor. and is assistant secretary of Coraltex, fnc.

HARDWOODS FOR HOMES

When hardwoods are again available for civilian trade, Iarge guantities will be uied for interior finish in mo' derately priced homes.

How do we know this? WeIl, the trend was that way before the war, and. it will continue when we are free to build homes again.

..MOST VITAI"

With lumber ncuned cs "the most vitcrl wqr commodity," it hcrs not been possible to tcrke ccrre of the needs ol our retcil decler customers. But we cssure them we hqve done crnd will do our best in ihis most dilficult situation.

(To a young aviator)

O, Thou who did'st create this lad, And sent him forth from Thee to roam The spaces of the earth and sky, Receive hi.m, now that he turns home. He lived consorting with the stars, And died the death that young gods die, Who break their proud, resplendent wings, Combating evil in the sky. Receive Thy son, and give him place Among the chosen ones whose wings Protect Thy throne; that he may feel Entrusted still with glorious things !

-Adelaide Love

A Britisher was asked al a]r"iu" the difference between the bearing and attitude of the American "GI Joe," and the British "Tomriie." He said: "The British 'Tom,mie'walks into a place as though he owned it; the American 'GI' walks into a place as though he didn't give a damn who owned it." ***

And they say in London that a lady shopper said to a sales lady in one of the big stores: "Do you still stock blacko,ut materials, or is the craze over?" She thought it was just a gag.

Another is about the laly ;o;n., in the food store who said to the grocer: "Are these high-priced eggs fresh?" He said: "Fresh, madam? They're positively insulting."

Lots of screwball thingl n*r"*uorr. in World War one, too. They were not as uncountable as they have been in this war, but they are worth recalling. For instance, sugar was rationed, and the ration was very, very small. But you could buy all the candy you wanted and could pay for, and the supply seemed unlimited. Throughout the war cattle hides went down until they broke the hide people generally; but shoes, made from these same hides, went UP in price continually. You couldn't build a ho,me the last few months of the war; it was forbidden. But you could buy a million dollars worth of pleasure automobiles -if you had the million. Those are just a few samples. ***

One difference will probably be in the termination of war restrictions. At the end of World War One all restrictions were dropped like hot coals the minute the emergency ended. It would take an optimist, indeed, to suppose that anything of the sort will take place when this war ends. It will take quite a battle to wring a world of authority from hands that will cling to it with bulldog tenacity. We know enough already to be certain of that.

However, I believe building restrictions and regulations concerning the use of lumber will be among those that will be released or at least reduced very quickly after Germany falls. There are many reasons why this should be so. After World War One they were reduced within a few days after the armistice, and removed just a few days later. *:&*

You hear lots orf guessing about how soon our boys will be home after Germany takes the count. ft's purely guesswork because the great war in the Pacific will still be going on. After World War One the United States army of occupation of the Rhineland consisted in the beginning of. 220,O00 men of our A.E.F. This arrny was relieved after seven months by l9,0OO Regular A*y men, who stayed in Germany until January, 1923, Our Army of Occupation this time will necessarily be much larger. How long it will stay and how large it will be will depend on the peace arrangements. And they are strictly in the embryo stage up to this moment.

Speaking of peace terms, according to my country-boy way of thinking, the fundamentals should be easy to arrive at. The details, I admit, will take some figuring. Germany must be made to replace everything she has destroyedeverywhere. She must rebuild everything she has torn down-everywhere. She must indemnify every person to whom her war machine has brought a loss:+verywhere. She must replant every field she has laid waste---everywhere. And she must pay in some fashion for every human life she has taken, for every cripple she has caused, for every physical act of vandalism and destruction+verywhere'

* ,k ,r

It is unfortunately beyond the scope of human possibility for her to atone for all the agony, the despair, the horror she has brought to the world. There is no method or means for accomplishing that end. But slo,w and painful though it will be, the entire German nation ,must be put'to work to undo so far as within her lies, the havoc she has wrought, the destruction she has created. Can you think, dear reader, of any reason why this should not be? The Christian philosophy of turning the other cheek won't work in the case of Germany. The chances are she would fasten her fangs in the cheek. The good old "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" should be the measuring stick of peace with the Boche. With deliberate ferocity she has ground her iron heel in the face of the world. Let her repay, replace, until the debt has been atoned for as far as is humanly possible. That would take time, you say? Well, what's wrong with that? Those war-mad people will be far better off rebuild-

ing factories and homes for the next 50 years, than building machinery for a new war. Anyone who doesn't believe that Germany should pay the debt for this war's devastation has no business at the Peace table.

And Japan? Every returned soldier, sailor, and marine I talk to who is back from the Pacific, adds convincingly .to the feeling of revulsion and horror that the very word "Jap" brings to my sorrl. My plan with them won't be carried out, I know. But it would be simple justice, just the same. Put every damned Jap on earth into a big, tight building and turn on the gas. When a dog goes mad we grab a gun and destroy hirn, even though we love him. Why temporize with these evil little demons who have sought to spread their particular type of hydrophobia among all the decent people of the world? I know they're not civilized, and I'm nota.t all certain they are human.

I sometimes doubt that we in this country fully appreciate the Coast Guard. I have met well-meaning folks who have an idea they are just a gang of shore patro,llers. Did you know that in World War One the Coast Guard had a larger percentage of men killed than any other branch of the armed services? Those are the facts as I read them. And they're doing a mighty ,*oO *t" this war, too.

The proof of the heroism of American fighters rises higher as the battles mo,unt. Their fearlessness in the face of death sinks like incense from the altar of God into the grateful soul of every patriotic American. On the beaches and fields of Normandy, it Italy, in Southern France, in a hundred places in the wide Pacific, they have thrown themselves heroically into the face of the impossible, and they have accqmplished the unbelievable. They stand to their guns like Roman sentinels while the earth rocks beneath their feet, and the very heavens rain fire. In awful reverence, in wordless admiration, in sorrow unspeakable we read the casualty lists. With no vain sigh for what

might have been, they have fought and died-for us. Their deeds will bloom through the ages. Let us not forget. :t*tf

Let us who stay behind in some small measure repay the debt we owe them by seeing to it that those things they fought and died for be not lost here at home. When Ben Franklin was leaving the Constitutional Convention in L787, a lady stopped him and asked: "Well, Doctor Franklin, what have we, a Republic or a Monarchy?" And the wise old man replied: "A Republic-if you can keep it." ***

One grand way we can keep faith with our fighting men is to stop this tide of slimy Communism that has not only lifted its ugly head in this land of ours, but has become an open and arrogant force in-our public life. Any man who doubts that there is a job of that kind to be done here, must be in the ostrich class-his head buried deep in the sand. tr<*'F

One of the recent stories of the war that perfectly illustrates how our men fight, is about a battalion of Americans who were by-passed and surrounded in Brittany by a German counterattack, and fo,ught for three days in that position. Food and ammunition were dropped to them from the air. But their case seemed hopeless, and a German officer under a flag of truce, gave Captain R. A. Kerley, a Texan, until 8:00 that night to surrender. Kerley said to the German: "Go to hell. I'll surrender when all our ammunition is gone and all our bayonets are sticking in German bellies." And they were finally relieved. A superior of;Ecer said to Capt. Kerley: "You had a hell of a nerve to tell the Gennan that." And Kerley answered: "He had a hell of a nerve to make me that proposition."

Obituaries

Edwin Lawson Bruce, Chairman of the Board of E. L. Bruce Company of N{emphis, Tenn., died on August 17 at his home in Los Angeles, Calif., after a brief illness. He was 89.

Mr. Bruce was one of the pioneer lumbermen. As a child he was taken by his parents from his birthPlace, Niles, Mich., to Lawrence, Kansas, in the year 1857. There his father, Charles Bruce, operated a sawmill and retail yard, and later took his son into business with him.

In 1884, after the death of his father, Mr. Bruce moved to Kansas City and built and operated a barbed wire plant until he was bought out by large interests. He then opened up a retail yard but his business was wiped out by the flood of 1903, and again in 1905. He re-established himself, however, as a lumber retailer, expanding gradually to three yards in Kansas City and 12 line yards in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Mr. Bruce's first hardwood flooring plant in Kansas City was destrgyed by fire in 1909. He then abandoned retailing and built a flooring plant at Little Rock, Ark. This was the beginning of the E. L. Bruce Company, presently the world's largest manu{acturer of hardwood flooring, with sawmills and plants at Memphis and Nashville, Tenn'; Little Rock, Ark.; Bruce and Laurel, Miss.; Cairo, Ill'; and Reed City, Mich.

The company's total employment is about 3,500, and annual shipments are between 15 and 20 million dollars in value.

Mr. Bruce is survived by his wife, Mrs. Eva Glenn Bruce, Los Angeles, and three sons, C. Arthur Bruce, Robert G. Bruce, and Edwin L. Bruce, Jr', who are officers of the E. L. Bruce Company at Memphis, Tenn.

Booklet Shows "How cnd Where to Use More Windows"

An attractive new booklet has just been published by Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork and Silentite Windows. This is called "How and Where to use More Windows."

There has been some confusion in the minds of Mr. and Mrs. America as how to go about using more windows when building or remodeling, so Curtis decided to publish an informative booklet, featuring every practical use of moderrt windows in the home. Remodeling is also given consideration, and there is a page on pointers for home-owners-to-be, under the subject of "What to look for when choosing windows."

This booklet will be used by Curtis as part of their regular follow-up to prospective builders who answer advertising on the Silentite window line-also with those prospective builders whose names are sent to Curtis by the dealer. Those interested in securing a copy may get one free by writing to Curtis Companies Service Bureau, Clinton, Iorva.

Faded He Scys

They had been four-bitsing and dollaring along in the colored crap game.for some time, and "Tinhorn" Jones was oll loser, and not at all happy about it. Anxious for a chance to get even, he counted out ten one-dollar bills, laid them carefully on the floor in front of him, picked up the dice and started to warm them, while making his plea for action.

"Step up heah, Niggirhs, and get you' money down. You'se got me losah in dishere game, and I aims t'git even wid one pass. So who fades me fo' dis ten dollahs I gots layin' heah? I wants to know, men, is I faded, or isn't I faded?"

A tall stranger had approached while this was going on, and he both looked and listened. Then, as none of the regulars in the game showed any disposition to fade the dice shooter for the ten dollars, the newcorner reached down in his pocket and pulled out a ro'll of bills of large denominations big enough to choke a derby hat plumb full, and shoving it before the nose of the man with the dice, he remarks, coldly:

"Is you faded, you wants to know? Boy look! See dis roll? Yo,u is mo' dan faded, Boy-ygg IS BLEACHED !"

Thrilt

A young man once found a two dollar bill in the road. From that time on he never lifted his eyes from the ground while walking. fn the course of 40 years he accumulated 29,516 buttons,54,172 pins, 7 cents in pennies, a bent back, and a miserly disposition.

He lost the glories of the sunlight, the smiles of his friends, the songs of birds, the beauties of nature, and the opportunity to serve his fellow man and spread happiness.

Young Mother

By Elaine Bassett

I like to think of Mother

As an Alpine mountain guide, A leader who is looking up Around whose waist is tied A rope to help her children

Up a rocky mountain side.

The rope is made of twisted cords, Of dreams and prayers and tears, ft stronger grows from day to day, And will outlast the years.

Tooting Your Horn

Tiorio said: "A ,man has the right to toot his own horn to his heart's content, So long as he stays in his own home, keeps the windo,qrs closed, and does not make himself obnoxious to his neighbors.

Bcrd Odors

William Pitt, British Prime Minister in 1800, said: "There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair."

In 1848 Lord Shaftesbury said: "Nothing can save the British Empire from shipwreck."

In 1849, the renowned Disraeli said: "In industry, commerce, and agriculture, there is no hope."

The great Duke of Wellington on the eve of his death in 1851 whispered: "I thank God I am spared the consummation of the ruin that is gathering around us."

Conlerence

A conference is a group of men who individually can do nothing, but collectively can meet and decide that nothing can be done.

Mcde in Germcny

Satan decided to have a house cleaning. He scoured and scrubbed and papered and painted and soon had his interior looking fresh and new. Then he went and looked at the outside and decided to renew that also. When the painters and carpenters had about finished up, his Brimstone majesty noticed that the old sign over the door was badly worn and weather-beaten. It read: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." He sent for the sign-painter and had him paint a new sign, up-to-date, which read: "Made in Germany."

The ]udgrment of Solomon

The famous decision of Solomon with regard to the ownership of a certain young child, was never any better than the one a red-nosed gent rendered recently on one of our crowded trains.

ft was a chilly day. Two women in one section got to quarreling about whether the window should be open or shut. One wanted it open; said if it were not opened soon she would certainly suffocate. The other declared that she couldn't stand the damp air, and if the window were opened she would certainly catch the flu and die. So they called the cotrored porter. One of them demanded that he open the window. The other just as insistently demanded that it stay shut. The worried porter didn't know what to do.

A short distance down the aisle sat a red-nosed old gent who looked as though he had been places and seen things. He noticed the dilemma of the porter, and proceeded to advise him. He asked the porter why he did not do as he was told. The porter said he couldn't, since one wanted the window shut, and the other wanted it open. The rednosld gent said:

"Do what both of them tell you to, porter, and you'll be all right. First, open the window. That will kill one of them, according to her own statement. Then close it. That will kill the other. Then, maybe, we can continue this ride in peace."

A. Constans

Wlro't Wlt" \(/.

The sub j ect of this sketch, W. A. (Bill) Constans, is one of the best knorvn executives in the lumber industry. He is vice president.and general manager of Anglo California Lumber Company, Los Angeles. He has had an active, colorful and interesting career and is looking forward to many more years in his favorite and only business-the lumber business.

IIe was born in Blue Earth, Minnesota, a town founded by his grandfather, H. P. Constans, (who was not a lumberman but had to engage in logging to clear the townsite). His father, G. F. Conbtans, was a retail lumberman for 5O years, as manag'er of F. Weyerhaeuser Company's retail yards.

Young Bill worked in retail yards in school vacatiotrs, was graduated from Carleton College, Northfield, Minn', and immediately entered the retail lumber business' He spent a year at this work and was then for a time lumber inspector for the Government at Funston and Fort Riley, Kansas.

He enlisted with the U. S. Army Engineers in November, lglT,andthe ship he sailed on, the Tuscania, was torpedoed by a German submarine. He was picked up by a lifeboat, taken aboard a British warship and landed at Londonderry, Northern Ireland. After seeing considerable service he was mustered out in June, 1919.

He came West to Coeur d'Alene, fdaho, and went to work with the Edward Rutledge Timber Company, a Weyerhaeuser mill, in 1919. He loaded cars, graded, was timekeeper, and later started the retail department. Equipped with this varied experience he went on the road selling for

Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, with his headquarters at Alexandria, Minn., and was so successful that in l9Z2 he was promoted to the job of assistant sales manager. He was made sales manager in 1923 and held this position until l9D when he moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon, as sales manager of the big sawmill of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. He remained in this important position until he resigned in August, 1943, to come to California as vice president and general manager of Anglo California Lumber Company. At Klamath Falls he was also managing director of Kalpine Plywood Company.

Mr. Constans gave a great deal of his spare time during the years he spent at Klamath Falls to work for the welfare of boys. He was president of the Boy Scouts, Modoc Council, and was given the Silver Beaver Award for his fine work for this organization. He was president of the Klamath Falls Lions Club, president of the Shrine Club and the Royal Order of Jesters (a Shrine activity). I{e was also president of the GolI Club and Quarter back Club, and is now president of the Tuscania Survivors' Club.

Recently he was honored by being elected Commander of Lumbermen's Post No. 403 of the American Legion, Los Angeles.

Mr. Constans was married in 1919 to Miss Margaret Freer. They have three children. The eldest, Margaret, is Mrs. R. W. T oft, whose husband, a navigator in the U. S. Army Air Force completed his missions over Germany and is now an instructor in navigation at Charleston, S. C. One son, W. F. Constans, is in the U. S. Navy, somewhere in the South Pacific, and the younger son, Dale, is a student at Pasadena Junior College.

U. S. Construction in July

Total new construction put in place in the United States during July amounted to $320,m0,000, a decline of 53 per cent from July,1943, according to figures released by WPB, August 14.

Of this amount, $193,m0,000 fell in the category of publicly financed construction and $127,000,000 for private account, WPB said.

Henry S. Graves Awarded Forestry Medal

Washington, D. C., August 2.-Henry S. Graves, New Ilaven, Conn., dean emeritus of the School of Forestry, Yale University, was awarded the Sir William Schlich forestry medal for distinguished service to American forestry at a meeting of the lVashington Section, Society of American Foresters, held in the Cosmos Club, Washington, D. C., on the evening of August 1.

This medal was named in honor of the late Sir William Schlich (1840-1925), who established the forest service in India and was professor of forestry at Oxford University. In order to perpetuate his memory a fund was subscribed by his friends and admirers in the British Empire and the United States.

The medal has been awarded only twice before in the United States. It was bestowed in 1935 on President Roosevelt, an honorary member of the Society of American Foresters, for his leadership in the forest conservation movement. It was not awarded again until 1940 when it was presented to Gifford Pinchot, first president and Fellow of the Society, and first chief of the U. S. Forest Service, at the Society's 40th anniversary meeting held in Washington.

Until his retirement in 1939, Dean Graves had been head of the Yale School of Forestry since 192O. He was chiei of the U. S. Forest Service from 1910 to 1920. In 1918 he was commanding officer (colonel) of the Allied forest engineer regiments in France and Belgium. At present he is chairman of the subcommittee on forestry and forest products of the United Nations Interim Comtnission on Food and Agriculture.

Smcll Mill Operctors Should Consult WPB Lumber Adviser

Operators of small sawmills who are not receivir.rg sufficient orders to ,consume their entire output of lumber' should consult the nearest lumber adviser of the War Production Board, J. Philip Boyd, Director of WPB's Lumber and Lumber Products Division, said recently in a letter to all small mill owners.

The lumber control order, L-335, does not change the small mills' methods of selling to any great extent, he pointed out, nor the types of customers served.

The demand for lumber needed for war and essential civilian uses exceeds supply, and it is imperative that every mill, large and small, should maintain capacity production, Mr. Boyd said.

Mills cutting less than 5,000 board feet per day are g'erierally considered small. They number about 22,0N and produce about 1B per cent of all commercial lumber in the United States.

Timber Connectored Structures cnd Unseasoned Lumber

In a letter to all its members, C. J. Hogue, in charge of the Techni'cal Service for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, has brought to the attention of the timber fabricators certain difficulties that have been engendered by the necessary haste of war time construction and the use of unseasoned lumber. Says Mr. Hogue:

"We have been concerned over unsatisfactory results in some timber connectored structures built of unseasoned lum,ber during the war emergency and not given proper maintenance during the process of seasoning in place'

"Instances have come to attention where nuts on bolts have not been properly tightened, and shrinking and twisting of wood members have been sufficient to let one edge of a connector come entirely out of a groove, resulting in the failure of a joint."

To assist those in the field who are working with timber connectored structures. the WCLA has made available a pamphlet entitled "Ten Essential Standards for Fabricated Timber Structures." It is free on request to Association offices at 3& Stuart Building, in Seattle, Washington.

The Marine Corps Lumber Yard at San Francisco

By Sergeant Oscar Otis, United States Marine Corps Reserve

Marine assault troops have landed on a Jap held island in the South Pacific. -A small beachhead has been carved out, and soon after the start of the push inland, vital supplies start pouring ashore.

- Among these "must" items, surprisingly enough -to the uninitiatid, is lumber. Old fashioned trvo by fours have a priority rating right along side of guns, ammunition and iood. 'In fact, a quantity-of lumber now usually precetles the bulk of the ammunifion and other stores "beached" to back up the assault.

The-lumber which goes ashore to fight has been found vital for the clockwork success of a South Seas invasion force. In early Pacific landings, it was discovered that supplies stacked on coral beaches had a tendency to sink as much as two or three feet into the sand and coral, ruining a considerable portion of the supplies.

The processing of Marine Corps lumber, from purchase to use, is a streairlined operation that is efficiency exemplified. Captain Harold Morgan, USMCR, is th-e 9ffrce1jn charge of Pto.ute-ent, witL offices in Portland, Ore. FIis purchases, made through the Army Engineers, are sent to the Islais Creek Yard bv ship and rail'

The Islais yard handles everything from t/*'l *]" to 8" x 8". Not only that, it does so with a dispatch that makes for an annuil turnover of more than 10 times the stock' In a civilian yard, a turnover of more than six times a year is considered sensational business.

Unloaded at Islais Creek, the lumber is then diverted into a myriad of channels. While overseas shipments- receive preference, about 2O per cent is used on the West Coast by Marine installations.

One remarkable fact of the overseas operation is the abili-

The new landing technique sees a platform built of planks, the r'veight-of supplies is distributed-evenly over ihir floor, and 1-00 per ceni utilization of beached stores is available. This lumber is not wasted. When the need for a temDorary "dock" has abated, the boards are used in construction oi barracks and huts.

Soon after the beachhead has been established, sanitary offrcers demand that cook houses and latrines be enclosed, and other lumber is landed along with the heavy stores for construction PurPoses.

Every stick o{ lumber used in the South Pacific by the Marine Corps has been classified and processed at the Marine Corps lumber yard, Islais Creek, San Francisco' a i aivision of the Depot of Supplies under command of Brigadier General Arnold W. Jacobsen, Depot Quartermaster. The lumber, from the time it is purchased from Washingi ton, Oregon, and California mills, to the time it is shipped out for warfare, is under the control of Major Clarence E. Magnuson, USIICR (Ret), Depot Engineer Officer.

ty of the yard to ship an exact footage of lumber, cut to lneasure, to set up a -complete camp for any Marine unit, be it a platoon or a Corps. The requirements of certain timber rires ate figured to a 3000 men unit. For this basic unit, exactly 204,O50 board feet are required. This unit can be varied, in proportion, to suit the needs of any grogP.

Major Magnusbn coordinates these lumber units with shipments of nails, screws, spikes, and other necessary gear for complete construction. When the lumber is landed on the specified island, only a carpenter and a hammer are required to set up the buildings in jig time. The camp is, in efiect, prefabricated.

These camps, incidentally, are complete. There is lumber for barracks, mess halls, latrines, hospitals, command Dosts, supply depots, recreation halls, etc.

' Lumbei^ ii nof only a necessity at the Marine fronts bui in getting supplies there, especially when it comes to heavy equipment and rolling stock. Such equipment as trucks,

jeeps, etc., must be secured safely aboard ship, requiring bracing and often platforms.

The vast number of crates and boxes needed for shipping all kinds of material overseas is provided by a Marine Box factory and woodworking shop located gn the outskirts of San Francisco at Bayshore. -Lumber lor this purpose is routed by the Islais Creek yard direct to the factory.

One item that is constructed in entiretv at the yard is the pallat or frame for the speedy loading incl unloading of material from shore to ship or ship to shore. The Is-lais Creek yard has contracted this phase of construction to a civilian concern, r,l'hich employs steadilv 15 carpenters and mill hands. The assemblyjhowever, is'made in one corner of the Islais Creek project, and is under Marine inspection at all times.

Another finished product of the Islais Creek yard is the pontoon bridge. An enormous stack of parts for pontoons occupies one part of the yard. These are all prefabricated at the mills, come to Islais Creek for classification and further shipment overseas.

Douglas Fir from the forests of Oregon and Washington p_rovides the majority of the lumber passing through Iilais Creek.

Some of the wood received and processed is the famed Calilornia Redwood. There is a spiinkling of other woo<l.s handled, and a small amount of plywood.

There are six Marines on the yard staff, with more than 45 regular civilian employes. The Marines, all chosen for a "lumber background" in civilian life, act in a supervisorial capaclty.

Major Magnuson was a sawmill operator before the war, in the state of Oregon. Captain Morgan, the purchasing .agent in the field, is a former Portland wholesale lumber-man. Technical Sergeant Gunter, of Hoaquim, Wash., in charge of the yard, r,vas employed by several lumber firms in his home city before re-enlisting at the outbreak of the war. ITe served a cruise in the Corps in the early 2O's.

The Islais Creek yard, with " deep water terminal for lumber and other boats at its north boundary, covers approx_i_mately six acres. It has ample storage ipace for 2d,000,000 board feet.

Equipment is modern and sufficient. A huge warehouse is available to store lumber of a type requiring shelter from the elements. There are five huge Ross Lumber Carriers.

Among the new equipment recently installed is a $5000 resaw. Rail facilities at the yard include a siding for 15 cars.

\Afhjle only 20 per cent of the lumber passing through the yard is destined for West Coast Marine shore estiblishments, the uses for wood are many and necessary. Lumber for boxes, packaging, and crates is in demand it all West C_oast bases, be it a barracks at a Naval Post, or the huge Marine bases at San Diego and Camp Pendleton.

That lumber plays such a vital part in the Marine Corps may come as a surprise even to old line Marines. The scooe of the operations of Major Magnuson would amaze . civilians, who tend to think of Marines solely as fighting men on some far away.beachhead, little stopping to realize the exte_nt of the pl-anning and obtaining of Jupplies necessary to keep them fighting, and to back the atttak.

The Islais Creek lumber yard was born of wartime necessity._ It__was originally a civilian yard, but was acquired by the Marine Corps and expanded into a model that is the envy of civilian businesses. The movement of lumber through the yard is so planned that not a foot of motion is wasted, nor a second lost through disorderly arrangement.

Lumber has taken its place in the Marine Coips as a potgqt fighting force, and in the words of Brigadiir General Jacobsen, it is one of the "five critical anii-vital materials" necessa,ry to conduct a successful amphibious opera- tion and further consolidation and securing of large irea; in Pacific theater.

Digest o[ New War Agency Regulations

Lumber lor Home Repcir Work

The WPB announced that home owners needing lurnber for repair work will be given preference ratings to assist them in obt4ining lumber only in extreme emergency cases. Dire,ct and indirect military requirements for lumber are so high, and essential demand so far in excess of supply, that all unnecessary use of lumber must be curtailed, WPB said.

Softwood

Lumber

Softwood distribution yards are authorized by OPA to sell lum,ber that is not in yard stock at the time of sale if the purchaser's order certified by the WPB, is turned over to the yard's supplier. Amendment 7 to 2nd RMPR 215, effective August 18.

Hcrrdwood

WPB allows large consumers of lumber to receive part of their fourth quarter allotments of hardwood during the third quarter, since revised production data indicate third quarter production will be approximately 8.5/o higher than original estimates.

Wooden Boxes

OPA amends the provision in the industrial wooden box regulation dealing with the method that manufacturers may use in computing maximum prices so as to make it clear that this method is based upon the cost of production of industrial wooden boxes only. (Amendment 5 to Revised MPR 195), effective August 21.

Housing Proiects

The WPB clarifies rules governing construction of housing projects authorized before the effective date (March 1, 1944), of Limited Preference Order P-55-C in interpretation I to P-55-C.

Oak

White quartered oak, commonly used in the manufacture of office chairs, comes under the restriction of Direction 9 (prohibiting the receipt of "No. 1 common white oak or better for most civilian products") to Lumber Order L-335, the WPB advises.

Insect Screening Released

A total of 669,947 square feet of insect screening, which is under the control of Metal Reserve Co., a su,bsidiary of the RFC, has been released for civilian use, the WPB announced. This action also releases undetermined quantities of copper screening which have been frozen in the hands of miscellaneous holders. Manufa.cturers are still forbidden to ptoduce insect screening under Order M-9-c.

Industry Advisory Committee

Formation of a yellow cypress industry advisory com. mittee, composed of representatives of lumber mills in Louisilna, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, is announced by the OPA.
