Washington, September 1l-War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson tonight ordered a 48-hour work week established in all lumber camps and sawmills in the Pacific Northwest. Ofificials said the workers affected would be paid time and one-half for the additional eight hours as required by the wage-hour law.
The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association reported that lumber production for the week ended August 8, 1942, was .5 per cent greater than the previous week, shipments were .1 per cent less, and new business 6 per cent greater.
During the week 448 mills produced 267,454,ffi feet of hardwoods and softwoods combined, shipped ?31,362,n0 feet, and booked orders of 288,582,000 feet.
The Western Pine Association for the week ended Augast D, 90 mills reporting, gave orders as 85,384,000 feet, shipments 87,237,W feet, and production 93,495,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 423,862,W0 feet.
The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended August 22 reported, orders as 141,611,000 feet, shipments 132,3O/W feet, and production 127,879,W feet. For the week ended August 29 orders were reported as 154,834,000 feet, shipments 135,000,0@ feet and production 128.326.N0 feet.
The other day we had a letter from Gus Russell, of San Francisco, saying: "If you want to do your readers a real service, tell us in the next issue just when the war will end."
Well, we don't know, but we met a man the other day who does. We said to him-"Looks like a long war, doesn't it ?" He said-"Not to me, it doesn't." 'We said-"What do you mean?" He said-"The war will be over in a month." We said-"Are vou kidding?" He said-"Hell, no!" So we said-"Then how do you figure it ?" He said-"Well, that no-good brother of my wife's got drafted into the army just. yesterday, and that So-and-So has never held a job yet for more than four weeks."

Yes, "the horse doth with the horseman run away," and then comes inflation. \Me're hearing and reading even more about inflation right this rninute as this piece is being typed, than we are about ttre war. fn order to get the cards right side up on the table, let me say that I do not understand this inflation business. Or perhaps it would be more truthful to state that I do not understand the things I'm hearing and reading about inflation.
tl.**
I'm in identically the same situation as the Chinaman in the oldest story on earth. The professor in science explained at great length and in all scientific detail just what made an electric street car run. When he finished,.he asked the Chinaman: "Now is there anything you still don't understand?" And the Chinaman, of course, replied: ,,I understand everything except what makes the street car rrm."
**{r
But there is one phase of the situation that faces us now that I do understand, just as everyone who can add two and two and get four understands it. 'We are told that we are faced with a grave disaster called inflation because we have been unable to hold down the cost of living necessities, and they keep right on rising, in spite of months of ,,freeze,' orders, and "ceilings." That one thing that I know is that we've been trying to hold prices down, without trying to hold down the chief price ingredient-labor. I know that when you lay down a dollar to buy goods-no matter what goods-anywhere from fifty to ninety-five cents of that dollar you pay is for labor. And will you tell a country boy who is trying to understand how in the name of all that's good and holy you can spike down the price of those goods without first spiking down that chief ingredient?
*{<*
Trying to keep down the price of a commodity without keeping down the majority element entering into that price, is like sitting on the lid of a powder keg, allowing someone to throw matches into the powder, and then trying to keep the thing from exploding by bearing down hard on the lid. We are warned that the explosion is imminent if we
don't take immediate steps to avert it. Parity prices on farm products might help a lot; durned ifI understand that either. But the labor item in our entire cost of tiving is so many times bigger than the farm commodity element, that there just isn't any comparison. And until we stop the balloon ascension of labor costs, everything's going on up. How can it stop?
Nelson Phillips once said: "A great character, like thc oak thrives only in the open air of freedom. The free winds and the unhindered sunshine are the elements among which it grows and towers in stately strength. It is the wige ordering of God, that character and character alone, shall be seed and root of all true greatness and all true achievement." **!f
Speaking of our soldier dead, Beauford Jester said: "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends." These words are found in Holy Writ, and are the words of the Savior of mankind.. But a more generous love and a more far-reaching sacrifice can be made by man than the giving of his life for his friends. This more generous, more inclusive, more far-reaching sacrifice is when one gives one's life for his country, and his country's cause. A heroic life does not die. Its influence and reach are beyond Death and the grave. Such a life partakes of the Infinite. Like unto the soul of man, it has the essence of immortality. It is not bounded by the finality of death, or terminated by the grave. Its ideals, aspirations, and love of country, produce vision, purpose, and patriotism in the lives of their countrymen for whom the life was given in sacrifice. The heroic life inspires and ennobles those who are its survivors and heirs.
Some great man, f have never been certain who, long since wrote these inspired words, which are particularly pertinent and filled with meaning to those young men who are baring their breasts to the hazards of war: "Never strike a sail to fear. Come into port greatly, or sail with God the seas." Isn't that a grand sentiment, heroically expressed? ***
General W'. T. Sherman, he who "marched to the sea" in that tragic war between the states, was the possessor of a kindly humor, and a sparkling wit. He had been, you know, a college president before the war started. On var-

Shortly after the war ended he was toast- * * * master at a great dinner given to honor General U. S. Grant, In his new and splendid book entitled "The Army of and in opening the program General Sherman brought Tennessee," Horn tells much about the deeds of Forrest, down the house by suggesting that during the program, who has been described by another historian as "the perthe speakers make it their business to talk no longer than sonification of battle incarnate." But he disdains to admit they could hold their audiences, and the audiences indulge that his hero ever used that sort of language or grammar. in no lengthy or undeserved applause. That should have He reminds his readers that Forrest, while he was not a been a program worth hearing, for besides General Sher- college man by any means' was a very successful apd well' man, there appeaied as speakers Mark Twain, the na- to-do business man in Memphis when the war started, and tion's greatest humorist, and Col. Ingersoll, her greatest ' that he spoke a very good brand of everyday English, "even orator.
*rf{€
But General Sherman sometimes found himself the butt of another man's wit. It is said that he always took a "kidding" well. Once, a few years after the war, the star of a stage play in New Orleans learned that General Sherman was in the audience. So when he stepped out to make a curtain call, he pointed out the distinguished visitor. He said: "We are proud to have General Sherman here tonight. Mighty proud. General Sherman is a fine man. A mighty fine man. A little careless with fire, perhaps, but a fine man." And the audience roared. and Sherman roared with them.

Which stories bring to mind the one that Carthell Robbins, lumberman, orator, and humorist from the free State of Arkansas loves to tell. He says there is a man who lives so far down in the old, deep South, that he never has been able to figure what great General is buried in Grant's Tomb.

If you were asked what words with regard to the strategy of warfare have been oftenest quoted and most frequently reprinted in the last couple of years, you would, if you were one of those who fairly ate up all these warlike words and opinions, be forced to reply that the alleged philosophy of General Nathan Bedford Forrest "led all the rest," many times over. Every war expert and near expert tells us over and over again that to "git thar fustest with the mostest men," is the shortest cut to victory, and they credit--or charge-General Forrest with having uttered those words during the Civil War. In fact I've heard them quoted ever since I can remember. And what do you think? Along comes my old friend Stanley F. Ilorn, a
as you and I." Horn says that what Forrest actually said was-"I take a short cut, and try to get there first with the most men." Means the same thing, but takes a lot of' color out of the philosophy, doesn't it?

Marvelous stories about our American soldiers and their daring and gallantry' are coming back fast now from the various arenas of battle. If you want to thrill to your toes, and want every hair on your head to tingle like a jew'sharp, just read the stories of real life and adventure that are being printed every issue by Time Magazine, and others, about our own boys. Why, all my life I've reveled in the adventures of Dumas' great Three Musketeers, and thought them incomparable. And now, in my old age, I find a lot of everyday American boys who can spot D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis the fifteen ball, and beat them every game, for sheer daring and breath-taking, highhearted courage. Yes sir, the heroes of fiction are just everyday amateu,rs compared with a lot of these boys. That story in the September Readers Digest about the boys in the torpedo boats who brought General MacArthur out of Bataan, puts to shame any adventure stories of the past, either of fact or fiction. And did you read in Time about that Texas boy who w4s fighting in the Solomons, and every time he got shot shouted-"Goddammit they got me." But he kept on fighting, and they kept on shooting him in different places, and each time he let out that same curse' until finally he had so much lead in him he had to quit and get his wounds bound up. They hit him four times in tough spots before he quit fightt*tg;
Let us paraphrase the words of Shakespeare, and say: "IJpon what food hath they fed these American soldiers, that they have grown so great?"
San Francisco, September 2.-Drastic cuts will be made by the War Production Board in the amount of eivilian construction to be allowed without specific authorization under the provisions of a revision of conservation order L-41, effective September 7, the regional WPB revealed today. The L-41 order placed all civilian construction under rigid control.
Types of construction have been reclassified, making necessary distinctions within residential and non-residential categories and reducing in most instances the amount of construction for which no authorization is necessary,.
At the same time prospective builders are cautioned against making commitments for materials until permission to build actually has been granted. The fact that a builder has all necessary materials on hand and needs no priorities assistance will not, in itself, g.overn whether he should be permitted to use them in construction.
The new classes of construction established by the revision of. L-41, with their former and present cost limits, follow
tains, bars, and tailor, barber and cobbler shops. Large quantities of materials have been going into their construction under the provisions of the original order allowing up to $5,000 to be spent during any continuous twelvemonth period.
Multiple residential construction includes buildings designed to provide living space for more than five families or divided into more than five suites. Industrial construction includes buildings designed for use in the manufacture, processing or assembling of goods or materials.
In any instance where estimated costs are under the established limits, the owner, before he may begin construction, must be able to acquire enough material to complete the project without priorities assistance. Furthermore the project must not require the use of any material, on the site or off the site, to supply electricity, gas, water, steam, telephone or sevyage disposal service.
It was explained in the revised order that repair work, on which there is no limit, does not include reconstruction or restoration of construction damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, act of God or the public enemy.
Included among the types of commercial construction reduced from $5,000 to $200 are buildings designed for use as clubs, lodges, associations, fraternity or sorority houses, auditoriums or assembly halls.
Also included are buildings designed for occupancy by not more than five establishments selling or dispensing goods, merchandise, food or drink, or providing services. In the latter group are small stores, restaurants, soda foun-
There is no change in the original provision that residential construction damaged by fire, etc. After December 31, l94l may be restored without authorization. Agricultural construction damaged in that manner after September 7 may also be restored in cases where the Department of Agriculture determines that immediate reconstruction is essential to the agricultural program. It is provided however, that a regular application form PD-200 must be filed within two weeks of such determination.
Industrial and other restricted construction similarly damaged may be restored where immediate reconstruction is necessary for the prosecution of the war or protection of public health or safety. fn such an instance a telegraphic report must be made to the War Production Board within five days setting forth certain data and form PD-200 must be filed within the next two weeks.

San Francisco, Sept. 4Establishment of maximum prices for sales of softwood lumber from distribution yards, including such important industrial lumbers as Southern pine, Western pine, Douglas fir and hemlock, was announced today by Price Administrator Leon Henderson, the regional OPA reported.
The new regulation-titled maximum price regulation No. 215, distribution yard sales of softwood-is the first lumber schedule which deals with shipments of lumber from distribution yards, all previous specific regulations having applied only to sales where shipment originates at mills.
The species of softwood covered by the measure include all woods for which maximum mill prices have been established in previous specific regulations, or over 90 per cent of all softwood normally handled by distribution yards. The regulation, which removes these softwoods 'sold by yards from the provisions of the General Maximum Price Regulation, is effective September lO, 1942.
"IJse of the March, 1942, base for yard sales of softwood lumber has caused complaints of inequities in some instances and, in others, has provided sellers with unwarranted profit margins," the administrator explained. "The need for general relief in some areas, and downward revision in prices in other areas, has become apparent."
Specific dollars and cents prices are established by the regulation, the individual seller determining his maximum price according to the sum of several charges and additions. The ceiling price is the sum of :
tice of determining selling prices. Its effect on the prices yards have been charging under the general regulation will vary, depending upon how closely the individual distributor's prices are adjusted to the mill ceiling price for lumber.
Application of the formula will give relief to distributors whose March selling prices do not reflect certain increases in costs. A yard, for example, whose prices under the general regulation were based on water transportation rated for incoming material, rather than the more expensive rail transportation now being used, will realize a more normal margin under the formula.
The F.O.B. mill maximum price of the formula is based on the regulation which governs the lumber being purchased -maximum price regulation No. 19, Southern pine; maximum price regulation No. 26, Douglas fir and other West Coast lumber; revised price schedule No. 94, Western pine lumber; and maximum price regulation No. 104, red cedar shingles.

Washington, Sept. 3.-In an effort to combat the shortage of labor in West Coast logging, Price Administrator Leon Henderson tonight ordered revisions in price regula: tions, including the establishment of an "overtime addition" system.
Mr. Henderson said the "overtime" system would permit overtime operations and stimulate maximum utilization of available manpower,
The "overtime addition" system permits graduated increases in the prices for logs, in accordance with the extent of the individual company's overtime operations. fn addition, Mr. Henderson ordered an upward adjustment in the ceiling price of hemlock, white fir and noble fir logs.
The order also included the establishment of maximum prices for the new aircraft grade of hemlock and noble fir logs. The order becomes effective September 9.
"The seriousness of this shortage," said Mr. Henderson, "is seen in the fact that the War Production Board estimates lumber production during the current year will fall short of probable demand by six billion feet."
Mr. Henderson said studies in the northwest area had demonstrated that the most important impediment to an increase in lumber production, or even the maintenance of normal production, was the shortage of labor.
"The present amendment establishing a system of overtime additions for overtime operations is designed to make it possible for logging companies to pay overtime labor at the rate of time and a half, and also by encouraging them to extend their operations to the very maximum which is physically possible," Mr. Henderson commented.
The order provides the following specific additions to ceiling prices for overtime production:
For forty-nine to fifty-three hours of operation, $1 additional per thousand feet log scale; fifty-four to fifty-nine hours, $1.50 per thousand; sixty hours or more, $2 per thousand.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Workers in the nonferrous metal and lumber industries in 12 West Coast states today were forbidden to switch to other jobs without first obtaining specific permission from the U. S. Employment Service.
Acting to check man power losses which he said already had reduced production of copper, other nonferrous metals and lumber, Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Man Power Commission designated the 12-state area as a "critical labor area."
Describing it as an employment stabilization plan, Mr. McNutt's order said it was designed to halt wasteful pirating and migration of workers engaged in the production of essential nonferrous metals and lumber.
The order directed all departments and agencies of the Federal Government to "take all steps which may be necessary or appropriate" to insure observance of the regulations.
The "critical labor area," the first to be established in the country, is composed of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, and Texas.

Washington, Sept. 8.-The Office of Defense Transportation announced tonight it will assume sweeping control over millions of the nation's commercial vehicles November 15, including rationing of gasoline, tires, tubes and accessories to such vehicles.
Described by ODT as "a drastic move to obtain further conservation of such equipment for war purposes," the order will supplement conservation regulations already in effect.
Approximately 5,000,000 trucks, 150,000 busses, upwards of 50,000 taxicabs and similar vehicles will be required to carry a certificate of war necessity in order to obtain fuel, tires, tubes and accessories.
The certificate will govern the maximum mileage that may be operated or the minimum loads that may be carried or both.
The order applies to all types of trucks and all other vehicles built primarily for the purpose of transporting property, except motorcycles, and all vehicles used in the transportation of passengers or which are available for public rental including ambulances and hearses, but not including private passenger cars.
Joseph B. Eastman, ODT director, said the certificates will be used with the objective of assuring that:
1.-Operations be confined to those necessary to the war effort or to the essential domestic economy.
2.-Operations be so conducted as to attain maximum use of the equipment.
3.-The operators conserve and use providently rubb'er and other critical materials.
Local law enforcement officers will be expected to report to ODT any instance of a vehicle being operated without a valid certificate in violation of the order.
Applications for certificates must be made to ODT field offices. Approximately 50 of these offices now are in operation and the number will be increased possibly to 150.
Under an arrangement between ODT and the Office of Price Administration, coupons authorizing the purchase of

A new and up-to-date edition of "Open House"-a 32-page idea book which, last year, enjoyed a distribution of more than 120,000 copies-has just been published by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork.
Re-designed, and containing a wealth of new pictures and new suggestions, this new edition provides maximum selling aid for Ponderosa Pine Woodwork dealers in today's three big markets-war building and housing-farm home modernization-and, civilian remodeling and repair. It makes a powerful bid, on behalf of dealers, for business today and tomorrow, presents scores of ideas adaptable to farm home modernization, contains a multitude of suggestions for civilian modernization, suggestions well within the 9200.00 limit set by the War Production Board.
The primary purpose of the book is to show how, through the use of doors, windows and woodwork of Ponderosa Pine, does help to increase convenience and brighten living for today and tomorrow. A section of the book, for example, is devoted to the problem of providing extra space for living, either in order to house growing families or war workers, through adding extra rooms in attic or basement. Considerable attention is paid to providing adequate storage space through the use of practical closets.
Other ideas contained in the book concern planning for "double duty" rooms-utilizing garage space for other purposes, saving fuel through the use of storm sash and storm doors, judging woodwork quality and caring for woodwork.
Lumber dealers may obtain one free sample copy of the new "Open House" by writing to Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, 111 West Washington St., Chicago, Illinois. Quantity copies are obtainable at the nominal price of 10 cents each.

When you're lost in the wild, and you're scared as a child, And death looks you bang in the eye, And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle, To cock your revolver-and die. But the code of a man, says "Fight all you can," And self-destruction is barred, In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow, It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.
"You're sick of the game?" Well, now that's a shame. You're yowrg, and you're brave, and you're bright. "You've had a raw deal?" I lrrow, but don't squeal, Buck up, do your damndest, and fight. It's the plugging away that will win you the day, So, don't be a piker, old pard, Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to quit; ft's keeping your chin up that's hard.
It's easy to cry that you're beaten-and die; ft's easy to crawfish, and crawl; But to fight and to fight, when hope's out of sight, Well, that's the best game of them all. And though you come out of each gruelling bout, All broken, and beaten, and scarred, Just have one more try-it's easy to dieIt's, the keeping-on-living that's hard.

ENTHUSIASM
Enthusiasm is the money, and power,
thusiast convinceS and dominates, where the wealth accumulated by a small army of workers would scarcely raise a tremor of interest.
Enthusiasm tramples over prejudice and opposition, spurns inaction, storms the citadel of its object, and like an avalanche overwhelms and engulfs all obstacles. It is nothing more or less than faith in action.-Henry Chester.

Wood has been called upon to play innumerable new roles in the war efiort not only because it is well suited for the jobs but to relieve the pressure on critical materials. Typical example is the nonclimbable wood fence designed by the product development laboratory of General Timber Service, Inc., for Weyerhaeuser Sales Company for the protection of ordnance plants, air fields, shipyards and industrial properties. It is made of durable Douglas Fir in three heights-4, 7 and 8 footand is shipped knocked down in carload quantities only with all parts or members accurately machined for easy assembly. In each lO-foot section there are 21 pointed pickets 2"x2"x6 held between two 2"x4" rails at top and bottom. Rails are notched to one-half the thickness of the pickets so that the two faces of the rails meet. End of rails are supported in notches which are cut into a pair of mortised strips, or cleats, that are fastened to the wide sides of the posts. This method of fabrication leaves the post intact and promotes economical, rapid erection. The 20" pickets on the guard rail are pointed at both ends and are set at a 45o angle.

1. Q. Does this order cover cypress?
A. Yes, this order covers all softwood lumber of all species, grades and sizes, except shingles and lath, plywood, veneer or used lumber. Cypress is a softwood.
2. Q. Should fabricators of lumber who are operating under PRP use the ratings, if any, assigned to deliveries of lumber in their PRP certificates?
A. Yes, they may also, however, apply ratings assigned in M-208 for their lumber requirements for uses covered by the lists attached to and made a part of the order.
3. Q. Does M-208 and the ratings assigned in it apply to hardwood lumber?
A. No.
4. Q. How will a person who desires to place an order for 'softwood lumber, apply or extend a preference rating to his order?
A. The purchaser may have a rating which he can use. This rating may have been assigned on a PRP certificate, a preference rating order or a PD-la or PD3a certificate, either to the purchaser himself, or extended to him by the person to whom it was assigned by WPB or other Governmental authority. He may use this rating by endorsing upon his purchase order the highest rating included within the class which embraies this ra[ing. For instance, if the rating which he has is A-l-j, he endorses A-l-a on his purchase order. This will simplify matters for distributors and producers of softwood lumber. If he does not have a rating which he may apply or extend, or if his rating is lower than the one which is assigned in M-208 fbr the particular use to which he intends to put the lumber, he may use rating assigned in M-208. He will apply this by placing a ceitificate on his purchase order in accordance with the provisions of Priorities Regulation No. 3.
5. Q. How should a distributor operale under this order?
A. tf a distributor receives an A-1-j rating, for instance, he should treat it as if it bore a rating of A-l-a because it falls within Class 3. If the distributor does not have sufficient lumber on hand to fill the clrder without reducing his inventory below a 60 day supply, he may extend the rating to a producer of softwood lumber; but he may extend only for an amount which will enable him, with lumber in inventory, to fill the order and still have a 60 day supply. He will
extend by endorsing on his purchase order a certification in accordance with the provisions of Priorities Regulation No. 3. He will not state, however, that the order bears a rating of A-l-j ; he will state instead that the order bears the rating of A-l-a. This method of handling ratings will simplily matters for the producer of softwood lumber.
6. Q. Must rated orders be accepted and filled?
A. Yes, this is governed by Priorities Regulation No. 1. This regulation, and Priorities Regulation No. 3 are basic rules of the priorities system. They should be carefully read and digested.
7.Q,May lumber for uses not specified in one of the lists, be assigned a preference rating?
A. Ratings for such uses may be assigned in proper cases on Forms PD-la and PD-3a, and by certain preference rating orders, to perqons not under PRP, and on the proper PRP forrtr to persons operating under PRP.
8. Q. Are wood products covered by this order?
A. Wood products such as flooring, cross arms, railroad ties, etc. are covered by the order, if they are a product of sawing and if they are softwood. Telephone poles and piling are not covered by the order.
9. Q. Are products fabricated of softwood, covered by the provisions of M-208?
A. No.
10. Q. How about lumber for export?
A. This order does not differentiate lumber for domestic use and lumber for export. Therefore, lumber for export is to be treated the same as though it was for domestic use.
11.Q. Is a person who finances the cut of a sawmill prohibited, under Paragraph (e), from accumulating more than a 60 day supply at the mill?
A. No, paragraph (e) restricts the delivery of softwood lumber: For the purposes of this order, a person does not accept delivery of such lumber merely by financing its production or taking title to it at the saw mill. To "accept delivery" means to take possession of the lumber when it is removed from the mill for sale or use.
12.Q.Is application or extension of preference ratings done by classes or by preference ratings?
A. Preference ratings are applied or extended by means of a certification endorsed on purchase orders pursuant to the provisions of Priorities Regulation No.

3. The classes set up in the order are simply for the purposes of grouping preference ratings so as to reduce to four the number of preference ratings which a producer of softwood lumber will have to handle.
13. Q. Must a person replace in inventory only items similar to those he used or sold?
A. No, he may replace an equivalent footage, but it need not necessarily consist of the same items.
14. Q. What is meant by the term "6O day supply?"
,4'.60 days supply is the amount that, according to a person's best judgment aided by past experience he will use (if he is a consumer) or sell (if he is a distributor) within the ensuing sixty-day period.
15. Q. What is rneant by the re.aiittg frovisi6ns contained in Paragraph (d),?
A. This paragraph means two things. First, that no order placed after September 1 may have a different preference rating applied or extended to it than the rating upon the order when placed. Second, purchase orders placed prior to Sept'ember 1, may be rerated according to the provisions of Prioiities Regulation No. 12 prior to September 17.
16. Q. Should a producer or distribulor of softwood lumber classify his present order file according to the business of his customer as set out in Lists A, B and C or should he send back his orders and ask his customers to indicate the priority rating or class?
A. Neither. A particular ordei is entitled to priority only if a preference rating is applied or extended to the order in accordance with the provisions of Regu- lation No. 3. This is true equally-of ratings assigned on a PRP certificate, or on a preference rating certificate or order, and of ratings assigned on M-208. A producer may not assume from the business of his customer that the lumber ordered bears a particular rating, or any rating at all.
17.Q.A producer or distributor has an order in his order file which is not specifically rated but is for a project carrying an A-1-a rating. If the project raling is raised after September 1, but befoie Septembei-17, can the new rating be applied or extended to the lumber order?
A. The new rating can be applied or extended lumber order only if it is applied or extended September 17.

18. Q. Replacement to a 60 day inventory of stocks to fill rated orders is permitted under M-208. How does a retailer or wholesaler indicate that his order is for . llplacement of stock sold under priority?
A. The retailer or wholesaler indicat6s thaf his order is for replacement of stock sold under priority by extending the preference rating on whith he -supplied the softwood lumber, or by applying the appliiable preference rating assigned for thi pulpose in-M-208. The provisions of Priorities Regulation No.3 governing_ application and extension of preference iatings, and replacement of inventory should be carefully noted.

As in previous wars and emergencies, wood is again proving a real patriot in World War II. In scores of uses wood is releasing other critical materials for the weapons of war at home and abroad. Today lumber is helping the American farmer solve his paramount problem of providing for greatly increased stofage facilities to meet the bumper grain crops this year.
A very practical and economical type of wood grain bin put on the market recently is a square bin developed by the Economy Grain Bin Company. B. H. Critchfield, presi.dent of the firm, stated that the simplicity of this grain bin design, its limited use of nails and the ease of its fabrication and erection are the principal factors that appeal to the farmers, where they are being put into service as rapidly as they can be erected' Thousands of these new type of bins are now being erected in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, the Dakotas, Montana, Oregon and Washington.
The Commodity Credit Corporation has awarded its largest single contract to the Oregon Grain Bin Company of Klamath Falls, Oregon, for, 6000 Economy bins of 3000 bushel capacity. The bins are being prefabricated by a group of Western Pine lumber manufacturers in the Klamath Basin of Oregon. They are shipped in knocked down form by rail to the grain-producing states of the nation. This one contract will require about 30,000,000 board feet of Ponderosa Pine and associated woods. According to G. C. Lorenz, of the Crater Lake Box and Lumber Company, which is furnishing a major portion of the material, other firms in the area who are participating, are Big Lakes Box Company, Crane Mills, Ellingson Lumber Company, Ivory Pine Company, Palmerton Lumber Company, Pelican Bay Lumber Company, Shaw Lumber Company, 'Western Pine Mills and Wheeler Pine Company.
Each bin is 16 feet squpre and 17 feet high and is set on a foundation of concrete blocks. The sidewalls, roof sheathing and other parts of the bins are constructed of Ponderosa Pine, while other native woods are used for the cross ties, floor joists and flooring. Red cedar shingles are used on the roof. The bin walls are made of Z'inch tongue and grooved material lock-jointed and cross-tied to give maximum strength and rigidity to the storage bins' It has been determined that this unique method of assembly saves 100 pounds of nails per bin as compared with ordinary nailed construction. Only 30 pounds of nails are required per bin. This is especially important when nails are such a critical item'
All the lumber items going into the construction of these bins are cut to length or notched and worked to pattern, as the case may be, at the fabricating plant. When this material, including the shingles, door hardware and nails, arrives at destination four men can erect completely as many as four grain bins a day. With such speed of erection and other advantages it is no wonder that this new type of wood bin is attracting wide attention among graiir growers everywhere.
John C. McCabe, well known San Francisco wholesale lumberman, has two sons in the Army, John C. McCabe, Jr. and William B. McCabe. John is at Camp Roberts, Calif., where he has been since September 1941' He is a corporal on the headquarters staff. William is also a corporal in a medical detachment in connection with aviation at Keesley Field, Biloxi, Miss. He has been there since last February.
Frank J. Connolly, vice-president and general manager' Western Hardwood'Lumber Co., Los Angeles, left September 4 on a business trip to Washington, D.C. He expects to attend the annual convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association at Chicago, September 24 and 25.
In line with previously announced plans for centralizing the purchase of materials for war projects, the Material and Equipment Section, Operations Branch, Construction Division, Office of Engineers, has been officially designated as the Central Procuring Agency to purchase lumber for war needs.
The auction system iS to be continued and will include in its scope all lumber requirements for the following agencies: War Department-Signal Corps, Quartermaster Corps, Corps of Engineers, Ordnance Department, Army Air Force, Transportation Service; Panama Canal Commission; Navy Department-Bureau of Ordnance, Bureau of Aeronautics, Bureau of Yards and Docks, Bureau of Ships, Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, Office of Procurement and material, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, U. S. Marine Corps, U. S. Coast Guard; U. S. Maritime Commission; War Shipping Administration.
In addition to the foregoing agencies, it is expected that Lend-Lease, Defense Plant Corporation, and Treasury procurements will avail themselves of the services of the Corps of Engineers in the procurement of lumber.
None of these using-agencies may purchase lumber in any amount without authority from the Central Procuring Agency. It is expected that such authority will be granted for the purchase of initial requirements of projects in an amount not to exceed 1,000,000 feet. The expediting of lumber will be coordinated by the Corps of Engineers.
This action consolidating the purchase of lumber in the Corps of Engineers has been the result largely of recommendations and requests by the lumber industry. Lumber continues to be a critical material, however, and every manufacturer is urged to cooperate with the Central Procuring Agency in making available to the war needs every foot of lumber produced.
It is believed that if this system fails to secure needed supplies of lumber, the industry will be faced with the strictest sort of allocation program. The Corps of Engineers requests continued and increased efforts on the part of the industry in this program.
The California Redwood Association in its News Bulletin No. 15 to the trade suggests that if dealers have any questions now, or any problems later, as to how M-208 applies to Redwood, either selling, shipping or purchasing, they will be happy to have them write to the Association's offices, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco.
A new tuition-free timber engineering course, under the supervision of R. R. Martel of the California Institute of Technology, will start at the John Adams Junior High School, 151 West 30th Street, Los Angeles, on Thursday, September 17,1942. Charles Mackintosh will be the lecturer.

San Francisco, September 3.-Two new data sheets, one on pergolas and the other about trellises, have just been published by the California Redwood Association to supplement recent circulars on fence construction. They were designed to aid dealers develop additional new yard and garden business.
The pergola, designed to add beauty and utility to the home garden, is described as inexpensive. It is constructed of standard lengths of Redwood to be had at most yards. To prevent waste of material, the pergola is laid out on a two-foot module plan. Drawings show construction details, and material lists are included.
Sketches of eighteen styles of trellises,. constructed of Redwood lattice, battens or lath, are presented on the trellis data sheet.
These data sheets may be obtained free of charge by writing to the California Redwood Association, 405 l\fontgomery Street, San Francisco, California.
