The National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported that lumber production for the week ended September 19 totaled 256,45O,W feet, shipments aggregated 27O,797,U0 feet, and orders booked were 305,965,000 feet.
Production for the week stood at tzI per cent of the average of the corresponding week 1935-39, and shipments 131 per cent.
Seattle, Washington, September 12, 1942.---The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in August (4 weeks) was 174,173,000 board feet, or 89.8 per cent of estimated capacity. Orders averaged 197,583,000 board feet; shipments, 183,349,000. Weekly averages for July were: Production, I&,822,W board feet (83.7 per cent of the 1926-l9D average) ; orders, 22?,979,W; shipments, 193,875,000.
Eight months of. 1942, cumulative production, 5,894,573,000 board feet; 8 months t941, 5,870,221,0A0; 8 months 7940, 4,926,767 W.
Orders for 8 months ol 1942 break down as follows: rail, 5,163,028,000 board feet; domestic cargo, 682,510,000; export, 1O5,817,000 ; local, 888,928,000.
The industry's unfilled order file stood at I,144,922,W board feet at the end of August; g'ross stocks, at 571,970,m.
In August the West Coast lumber industry kept up its struggle to sustain war production. Many mills ran overtime. Log shortages, however, reduced operations of a third of the region's mills to below normal. The net box score for the month was recovery of production from July's
decline nearly to the June level. War lumber requirements remain unchanged, except in stronger pressures on the industry from the increasing substitution of wood for steel. This centers in heavy construction demand for lumber in sizes and lengths which can be produced only in the Douglas fir region. A distinctive August feature was upswing in demand for timbers going into especially urgent military and naval projects. Consolidation of the business of war lumber procurement in the Corps of Engineers has had a practical and decisive'effect on war lumber buying and is greatly appreciated by the industry.
The Western Pine erro"i"tion for the week ended September 12, 81 mills reporting, gave orders as 69,424,ffi f.eet, shipments 7l,843,W feet, and production 74,503,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 383,333,000 feet.
The Southern Pine Association for the week ended September 19, 103 mills reporting, gave orders as 31,829,000 feet, shipments 30,675,000 feet, and production 25,331,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 159,060,000 feet.
The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended September 12 reported orders as 115,000,000 feet, shipments L04,482,W feet, and production 107,000,000 feet. For the week ended September 19 orders were reported as 165,988,000 feet, shipments 134,908,000 feet, and production 126,717,O@ feet.

"When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken." (Deuteronomy, Chap. 2+, V. 5.) {<*{<
They tell me the above quotation from the Bible has been offered at various times in the past year as a basis for asking deferment from the draft. Some of the offers have probably been made humorously. It is one of the old Mosaic Laws, that is, one of the innumerable laws and iules laid down by Moses when he was leading the Israelites toward the promised land. In the same group Moses also prescribed the laws covering human slavery, polygamy, and other matters of that sort. They don't go nowadays, either.
rt is true, of course, .;. i";-erable religious zealots have claimed immunity from military service because of their religious beliefs; and most of these have pointed to the Commandment "Thou Shalt Not KilI" as a basis for their claim that they should not be made to fight. They would offer the plea that in this Commandment Almighty God forbade army service. **t
It should be remembered that when Jesus Christ was asked the direct question what commandments a man should keep, and He enumerated them for His questioner, He did not say "Thou Shalt Not Kill." He said, "Thou Shalt Do No Murder." And what a difference that is ! Murder is one thing. Killing righteously in defense of God and country and civilization is something else again. For tbe exponents of murder are at large in the world today; and unless righteous men meet and kill them, this vaunted civilization of ours will surely disappear as have many previous civilizations. ***
And so millions of our young men are going forth uncomplainingly from their peaceful homes and pursuits, clad in warlike apparel and armed with warlike weapons, steadfastly disposed to use those weapons upon Jhose who have destroyed the peace of the world. These young men are th€ defenders of humanity, the angels of liberty, the nemesis of the monsters of tyranny. They fight to keep
our country on the map of the world, its starry emblem in the heavens, the hope of liberty alive in the world of . men. They "shall do no murder," but they shall teach ,a fearful lesson to those who have set out to enslave the world. Their patriotism is.as shoreless as the air. ***
When men stand and die to defend their homes from the invader, regardless of who or what or where they are, their action awakens chords of fierce sympathy in the hearts of all men. Strange, isn't it? There is something definitely sublime, inspirational, about the fight the Russians are making against the hordes of the Nazi. Men who but eighteen months ago feared the effect of Communism on the world as much as they did the threat of Hitlerism, have now become enthusiastic partisans of the embattled followers of Stalin. And much of the sentiment the world now feels for the Russians is simply because they are defending their homes. The love of home is deep and ineradicable in the human heart, and he who defends his home against outrhge is engaged in a sacred calling.
Wonderful thoughts n1.,"**Jnrrently been inspired by defenders of their homes. I remember an utterance of Judge Norman G. Kittrell on that subject that has a thrill in each word. He said: "Whenever and wherever any people rise and bare their bosoms to the invader of their native land and the despoiler of their homes, their action by its inherent moral power, is lifted into a realm where no human statute has application, and no human tribunal has jurisdiction."
And Major John W. l"Jr.r*"*oressed the same idea in this magnificent fashion: "None but great causes can ever produce great events. A transient gust of passion may turn a crowd into a mob; a temporary impulse may swell a mob into an insurrection; but when a whole people stand to their guns behind their hearthstones and as one man resist aggression; when they shake a continent with their heroic endeavors and fill the world with the glory of their achievements, history can make for them no higher vindication than to point to their deeds, and say-'BEHOLD!"'***
I claim that the above two quotations betong in every
patriotic scrapbook. And, speaking of inspirational words, do you recall the following excerpt from the inaugural address of President John Quincy Adams, words filled with that humility that ever marks the great man? He said: "Knowing that 'except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain,' with fervent supplications for His favor, to His overruling providence I commit, with humble but fearless confidence, my own fate and the future destinies of my country."
Lord Nelson, most ,"-""" l"*rr"n admiral and sea hero, used to say when discussing warfare, that whenever a question arose with him as to whether to fight or not fight, he always fought. Waiting for the other lellow to make the decision of when and where to start the fight was not ttle way the great admiral liked his warfare. And another great English fighter, John Hampden, felt that same way about it. I've quoted him often before, but that sort of man will stand a lot of acquaintance. He is the fellow who said that in warfare, when you draw the sword, throw away the scabbard, because the essence of warfare is violence, and half-hearted warfare is suicide.

We hear much about the age of soldiers. A well known authority tells some remarkable things about the ages of the men who fought in our Civil War. They are worth repeating. He says that in the Union arnny, which throughout the war totaled 2,778,304 men, over 2,000,000 were under 22 years of age; 1,500,000 were 18 and under; 800,000 were 17 and under; and 100,000 were 15 and under. That was the Union army. There are no authentic records, so I am informed by a competent authority, on the ages of the men who fought in the Confederate armies, but historians agree that they took them young and old both in their total of less than 900.000 men. A historian who saw the Confederates at Charleston reported that: "Them that wasn't bald was beardless." They were both very young, and very old.

A modification of Maximum Price Regulation No. 26 (Douglas Fir and Other West Coast Lumber) as regards the method for establishing maximum prices for those lumber items not specifically priced by the Regulation, was announced September 15 by the OPA.
The September 15 adjustrnent, which is contained in Amendment No. 6, provides that the seller base his maximum price for an unlisted item on the basis of two common and frequently sold types of lumber which are specifically priced. September 19 has been set as the effective date of the amendment.
The amendment specifies that maximum prices determined by the seller must be submitted to the Washington, D. C., Office of the OPA within ten days and, if the OPA does not disapprove the adjustment of the price or request further information regarding its determination within 30 days, the seller is to consider it approved.
Washington, Sept. l8.-Authority to allocate Douglas fir logs and to direct or prohibit production of lumber items from such logs was established by the War Production Board today in general preference order M-?34.
Douglas fir logs are one of the most important species of lumber required by the war program. They are used in aircraft material, pontoon lumber, ship decking, planking and plywood.
Authority to allocate them for milling into the most necessary items is necessary because the supply of the required quality at any one time is often not sufficient to meet all requirements.
Under the terms of the order, the director general for operations may allocate specific quantities of logs or parts of logs to specific persons. The director general may also determine the specific manner and quantities in which delivery shall be made, and direct or prohibit particular uses of Douglas fir logs or parts sawed from such logs.
Further announcements relating to the allocations will be made by the office of the WPB western log and lumber administrator at Portland, Oregon.
San Francisco, Sept. 23.-To insure as far as possible adequate supplies of mahogany for use in war contracts, the Office of Price Administration today exempted mahogany lumber, flitches and veneer, manufactured in the United States from imported mahogany, from the provisioris of the General Maximum Price Regulation, the regional office reported.
The exemption, which applies only to sales after October L, t942, to the United States, its agencies or "lend-lease" governments or to persons who will use such commodities to fulfill a contract or subcontract with any such government or agency, was contained in amendment No. 10 to revised supplementary regulation No. 4 to the General Maximum Price Regulation, effective September 22, 1942. Revised supplementary regulation No. 4 previously provided exemption for mahogany logs, lumber, veneer and flitches from the general regulation but it did not exempt these products manufactured in the United States. Since a large volume of imported mahogany normally is manufactured into lumber and veneer in this country, it is believed advisable to extend exemption to these products, OPA officials stated. This action it was explained, will aid the efforts of the Board of Economic Warfare in securing maximum imports of mahogany within the provisions of War Production Board order No. 63.
Seattle, September 23.-The War Labor Board (WLB) today set up a five-man commission here to stabilize labor conditions in the lumber industry of the five Western states. Thomas Fair Neblett of the Federal Conciliation Service is executive secretary. The only other named so far is William Lubersky, assistant to Wayne Morris of the War Labor Board.
The states are California, Oregon, Washington, fdaho and Montana.
The Office of Price Administration advises that, due to a typographical error in Maximum Price Regulation No. 215, the following change should be made: "Handling charges of 6O cents per hundred pieces for lath" should read "60 cents per thousand pieces for lath."
The Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California will hold its annual convention at the Palace llotel, San Francisco, on Friday, October 16, 1942.

Following the adjournment of this meeting there will be a general get-together of all those present, and at 8 P. M. reservations have been made at the Bal Tavern Cafe for a special entertainment and dinner.
A large attendance is anticipated.
The- Association officers are: Ray Clotfelter, W. R. Spalding Lumber Co., Visalia, president; F. Dean Prescott, Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, vice-president; I. E. Horton, South City Lumber & Suppll Co., South San Francisco, treasurer; and Bernard B. Barber, Fresno, secretary.
Announcement has been made by G. E. Morris, superintendent of building, that the new Los Angeles building code, which has been in preparation for more than two years and which was recently approved by the City Council, is expected to become effective January l, 1943.
San Francisco, September 15Operators of industrial plants, office buildings, apartment houses, hotels and other substantial buildings were granted permission today by the War Production Board to apply for blanket authorization to cover miscellaneous construction work over a period not to exceed six months, the regional office was advised.
This makes it possible for both the operators and WPB to avoid handling numerous applications for construction jobs rvhich are necessary in larger buildings, but which, under the former plan, had to receive individual authorization when the cost for all such work reached the limits set in the stop-construction order L-41.
Under the new plan all routine indit'idual construction jobs, except those estimated to cost more than $5,000, may be included in applications for blanket authorization. In cases where authorization is granted, the applicant must file within two weeks after the expiration of each period of tlre term of the authorization a report covering the work done, its cost and the materials consumed. Form PD-200 should be used for all such applications and reports'
In making the report on the rvork done, the applicant must mark it "report on blanket construction" and include with it a letter indicating the serial number and date on which the application was approved.
The application covering miscellaneous jobs should, if possible, set forth the proposed construction work within the stated period of time in terms of jobs, dollars and quantities of material. A separate application must be submitted for each separate building or project.
Where it is impossible for the applicant to forecast the proposed jobs accurately, an application of a more general nature will be considered. However, the total cost of the proposed construction and a preliminary materials list must be included.
This plan is for blanket construction authorization only and does not alter the usrual procedure for obtaining priorities assistance. However, when such assistance is required, this must be indicated on the blanket application.
Where priorities assistance for items of a single type only is required, applications on form PD-14 will be accepted. If several different items are required, the applicant must apply on forrn PD-200.
A revised project application form PD-200, which is to be used for obtaining priority assistarrce and authority to begin construction for most construction items and equipment, is now available for use, the WPB announced September 14.
This form must now be used as an application for:
Authority to begin construction pursuant to the provisions of the Stop-Construction Order L-41.
Priority assistance for any project involving new construction, reconstruction, remodeling, or conversion.
Priority assistance for equipment when construction is involved. PD-1A applications formerly submitted for such equipment will no longer be accepted. When no construction is involved, however, PD-lA's will continue to be accepted for equipment.
This revised PD-200 form does not replace PD-1O5, used for privately financed war housing', or PD-4M, used for remodeling houses in critical defense areas. Neither does it replace form PD-3A, used for projects owned by the armed services and identified as "command" construction.
PD-200 applications are available at all WPB field offices, the County War Boards of the Department of Agriculture, field offices of the Federal Housing Authority, field offices of the Army, Navy, and Maritime Commission, and many financial institutions.
Instructions as to filing the executed PD-200 forms may be obtained at all field offices of WPB.

Production of metal doors, metal door frames and metal shutters for military or civilian use was prohibited by the WPB September 16 in Limitation Order L-142.
The new order halts all production except for fire doors meeting certain maximum specifications and for airplane hangar doors.
Manufacturers are permitted to fill orders received prior to the issuance of the L-142 order, provided that the door, frame or shutter is intended for a rated building or project already under contract, and provided that the door, frame or shutter can be completed in 45 days.
Manufacture of doors, frames or shutters on an A-10 or higher rating for repair and maintenance purposes is also permitted by the order.
Metal shutters covered by the order refer to means of closure in the side, floor, ceiling or partition of a building, shaft or tower. but not to windows or rvindow shutters, which are covered bv Order L-77.
Installation of utility facilities using critical materials in defense-rated projects to assume completion of high-rated housing will be expedited under terms of an amendment to P-46, announced by WPB. Order P-46 covers maintenance, repair and supplies of utilities. The amendment provides that suppliers of utility services to projects rated A-5 or better, which require iron, steel or copper for their construction, will be granted the highest rating assigned to other equipment for the project which also uses iron, steel, or copper.

Stories of the arrny are now flying around in considerable number, many of the recent ones illustrating how easy it is to qualify for the armed services now that the bars have been dropped considerably. Here are some of the "shortiestt:
A young fellow, notoriously near-sighted, showed up in uniform. Unbelieving, one of his friends said: "Do you mean to tell me they passed you?" "Surer" said the new soldier. "But didn't they examine your eyes?" "Nope. Just counted 'em," said the soldier.
Another boy passed his physical examination, with the exception of the eye tests, and the doctor told him he would have to go out to March Field for his eye examination. "Are
they very severe in their examination?" asked the rookie. "Well," said the doctor, "if you can see the field, you're in."
Another rookie showed up in uniform. One of the boys said: "Was the physical examination tough?" "Nope," said the other. "They just asked me two questions: can you see, and can you walk? And when I sald yes, they said'You're in the army now."'
And a friend just returned from Washington tells this one, which he says is wowing them at the national capitol: A Western Union delivery boy went into the army buildings to deliver a wire. Nothing was heard from him for two weeks, and then he came out a Brigadier General.
Don S. Montgomery, Milwaukee, Wis., was re-elected Snark of the lJniverse at the fifty-first annual convention of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo held in Milwaukee on September 9-11, 1942.

Reports from the officers, Board of Councillors, and chairmen of various committees were received.
A concatenation, under the direction of the Milwaukee degree team, was held and 42 kittens were initiated. There was a buffet supper and floor show 'Wednesday evening, and a dinner dance and entertainment Thursday evening. Luncheon and golf on Friday afternoon concluded the meeting.
Washington, September 19-Construction of 105,987 new houses in the United States was started during the first eight months of 1942 by private builders operating under the FHA war housing program, Federal Housing Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson announced today.
Recent trade paper advertising on Curtis Woodwork has featured the new Curtis Victory Locker, introduced by Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Silentite windows and Curtis Woodwork.
The new Curtis product is suitable for all locker needs. and might be readily termed an "all-purpose" locker. It is as suitable for schools, gymnasiums and factories as it is for use in war buildings and other types of government construction.
Unique construction features make the new Curtis locker an outstanding value for today's market. It makes. use of no critical materials for it is entirely of wood. It is painted olive green. The locker is shipped KD with all parts pre-fit and may be quickly assembled with minimum labor. It's light, durable and strong.
In commenting upon this new Victory locker, H. H. Hobart, vice president and sales manager of Curtis Companies Incorporated, stated:
"We believe in this Curtis Victory Locker we have a pioduct that will fill many important needs. We have made different types of lockers for the government and now we have standardized, this unit in design and construction and can make it to sell at a price that will compare favorably with any locker on the market. It may be sold by Curtis dealers in big quantities, we feel."
Mr. Hobart pointed out the fact that Curtis had continued their advertising right through t942-not only in trade papers, but in consumer magazines as well.
"We have felt," he continued, "that it was necessary this year to back up our dealers and aid them in getting whatever business was available. We made only minor adjustments in our 1942 advertising schedule as planned before Pearl Harbor. We are now advertising to the prospects of the post-war period so they will remember Curtis Woodwork and the'Curtis dealer when they can build and remodel again."
A folder illustrating and describing the new Curtis Victory Locker will be sent upon request.
San Francisco, September 16-A $1,000,000 United States maritime commission training school will be built at the former site of the Neptune Beach recreational center in Alameda, it was announced today.
Priorities Regulation No. 1, as completely amended, was issued August 27 by the Director General for Operatioirs of the War Production Board. This regulation governs the operations of the priority system.
One of the most important changes is that which provides that no person who receives any rated order shall be required by reason of such order to terminate or interrupt a production schedule immediately in any case where such termination or interruption would result in a substantial loss of production; provided, however, that in any such case termination or interruption of the schedule required by the receipt of such rated order shall not be postponed more than forty days after such receipt.
The sequence of Preference Ratings also has been changed. Preference ratings in order of precedence are AAA (AA-1, AA-2, both ratings are equivalent to AA-1), AA-Zx, AA-3, AA-4, etc.; A-l-a, A-l-k, etc.; A-2, A-3, etc.; B-1, B-2, etc. All preferen,le ratings of AA heretofore assigned, and in effect, are amended to AA-2, unless and until the deliveries bearing such ratings are otherwise specifically rerated.
This is just an informal summary of the important changes made, the complete Regulation, as amended, being rather lengthy.
Conditions under which retailers will be permitted to bring their maximum prices under OPA regulations into line with minimum prices generally in effect during March, 1942, under state fair trade laws were formally established in Amendment No. 27 to the GMPR. The amendment incorporates a previous ruling of the general counsel issued last July 11. It provides that QPA will raise the maximum retail price of any commodity established under the general regulation to the minimum price in effect during March, 1942, under a State fair trade contract if the retailer can show: (1) that his maximum price is below the fair trade minimum price; (2) that the commodity was sold generally at retail during March, 1942, at the minimum price in the locality where his establishment is operated; and (3) that he has leen permanently enjoined by a court from selling the commodity at less than the minimum price.

Washington, September 2INorthern hardwood and softwood lumber producers were ordered by the Office of Price Administration today to roll back their prices to approximately the levels of October, 1941.
The regulations, effective September 23, bring under specific price control one of the few remaining branches of the lumber industry not now under special price orders.
A Committee on Concentration of Production has been appointed within the War Production Board, with Joseph I.. Wiener, Deputy Director of the Office of Civilian Supply, as Chairman. The committee will have general charge of the concentration program, determining, on information supplied by the Director General for Operations, which industries are to be concentrated and the arrangements to be made.
"This is my home," she whispered, "These forests of cedar and pine, The breath of the Western laurel And the beauty of flower and vine. To the river that sings in the twilight, And the snow-clad peaks above, With the myriad voices of even I offer my song of love."
"This is mY home," she whispered, "These forests are dear to meEach carpeted trail I follow, The voice of each wildwood tree; They are shrines of a past enchanted Where camp fires gleamed of old And hearts were gay and ardent When the river sang of gold."
"This is my home," she whispered, "These forests of cedar and pine And the rugged, painted canyon, That once was a roaring mine. But sometimes as I wander Through forests and vale and glade. My spirit is sadly troubled And my heart is sore afraid."

Washington, Sept. S-Loans of more than $6,000,000,000 by private lending institutions for the construction, purchase or repair of home properties have been insured under the various FHA programs since the start of operations in June, 1934, Federal Housing Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson announced today.
Through regular monthly payments against principal and through prepayments, approximately one-third of the total amount of FHA-insured loans reported to date has been paid of by the families and property owners participating in the program, Mr. Ferguson said.
The private residential lending stimulated by the FHA program has involved almost 5,000,000 individual properties, the commissioner pointed out. These include approximately 980,000 one-to-four-family homes financed by mortgages exceeding $4,200,000,000 in original amount which were insured under Titles II or VI of the National Housing Act, and approximately 4,000,000 repair or modernization loans totaling more than $1,600,000,000 which were insured under Title I. In addition, mortgages, of approximately $145,000,000 on large-scale rental housing projects have been insured under Section 207.
"During peacetime, the FIIA loan insurance program was largely responsible for the re-opening of the private mortgage lending market and for the revival of the home construction industry," Mr. Ferguson declared. "To the consumer, the FHA plan offered the soundest home financing terms in history as well as a convenient method for repayment of home indebtedness out of current monthly earnings.
"IJnder wartime conditions, the FHA program has played an equally vital role by providing the principal financing vehicle for the construction of war housing by private enterprise."
Since July 1, 1940, when the housing problem first became acute in the war industry centers, approximately 440,000 home mortgages totaling more than $1,900,000,000 have been insured by the FHA. By far the greatest proportion of these properties were located in the shortage areas.
Because of acute shortages of war materials, new construction financed under the FHA program is now restricted to the most urgently needed housing for war workers in the designated critical areas and is insured under Title VI, which was added to the National Housing Act by Congress for the specific purpose of facilitating privately financed war housing. The facilities of Title II remain available for the insurance of mortgages on existing houses.
Under Title I, more than 1,400,000 loans totaling approximately $565,000,000 have been insured since July 1, 1940. Title I loans are now limited to projects providing additional living accommodations for war workers through the conversion or rehabilitation of existing structures or to essential repairs and maintenance.
Under current conditions FItrA borrowers are being encouraged to apply inereased wartime earnings to the reduction of their mortgage debt at a faster rate than that'called for by their mortgage contracts.

There is a Deity. I have felt His presence. I have heard His voice. I have been cradled in His friendly robe. All that is, or was, or can be, is but the visible garment of God. I ask no written covenant with Him,'for He is my Father. I will trust Him without requiring priests or prophets to indorse His note. As I write, my little son awakes alarmed by some noise, and comes groping thru the darkness to my door. He sees the light shining thru the transom, returns to his trundle-bed and lies down to peaceful dreams. ffe knows that beyond that gleam his father keeps watch and ward; and he asks no more. Thru a thousand celestial transoms streams the light of God. Why should I fear the sleep of death, the unknown terrors of that starless night, the waves of the river Styx? Why should I seek assurance from the lips of men that the Wisdom, Love, and Power of my heavenly Father will not fail?

One midnight deep in starlight still I dreamed that I received this bill: fn Account With Life:

Five thousand sunsets wrapped in gold; One million snowflakes, served ice cold; Five quiet friends; One baby's love;
One white-mad sea, with clouds above; One hundred music-haunted dreams
Of moon-drenched roads, and hurrying streamsOf prophesying winds and treesOf silent stars and drowsing bees; One June night in a fragrant wood; One heart that loved, and understood. I wondered, when I waked at day, Howhow in God's nameI could pay?

"What Can I Do ?" just issued by the U. S. Office of Civilian Defense as a citizen's handbook for war, states that "Conservation is a war weapon in the hands of every man, woman, and child," and presents two basic rules for use of the weapon-r'Get along with less, and take good care of the things you have," with special emphasis on the family home itself. Northern and Southern California Homes Foundations urge every home-owner to secure a copy of this handbook through local civilian defense authorities. It is simply and brightly written and is entertainingly illustrated by Gluyas Williams.
The Foundations quote from "'What Can I Do ?" as follows:
"War production goes faster when home life runs smoothly, and so it is a good idea to keep our homes and personal possessions in good order and repair. Do it nowdon't wait until your things are past repairing. The more shipshape and tidy we keep our homes and personal possessions the less we will feel the need to buy new things
"This new simple life means fewer household gadgets, because the skills and materials that made them are needed for war. Such things as refrigerators, cooking ranges, heaters, electric irons, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, toasters, sewing machines, radios, flashlights, carpentry and garden tools are precious. You won't be getting any new ones until after the war. Usually the household repair jobs are done by Dad or by the local carpenter, plumber and electrician. Now, all of us should be brushing up on the hundred and one home skills. If you have a little spare time see about classes in repair at the local school or elsewhere. Ask your local Defense Council about this."
Washington, September ,22- The Senate Labor Committee approved today legislation authorizing an additional $600,000,000 expenditure for war housing.
The measure, introduced by Chairman Thomas, Utah, would double the funds already authorized by Congress for defense housing, increasing the total amount for this purpose from $600,000,000 to $1,200,000,000.
San Francisco, September 17-The national forests of northern and central California, within districts where the deer season started September 16, will be open to hunting, according to S. B. Show, Regional Forester, U. S. Forest Service. These Federal Forests, with the following general exceptions, are outside the boundaries of areas recently closed by the State to deer hunting at the request of Army authorities: Trinity Forest: Southeast portion in Shasta and Tehama Counties; Sierra Forest: Scattered areas west of Ponderosa Way along the west boundary of the forest; Sequoia Forest: South end, in the Greenhorn and Piute Mountains region.
The Forest Service also announces that there will be a few limited areas of specially high fire hazard in the northern and central national forests that will be closed to public use in order to protect the timber and water resources. All such areas will be clearly marked, and full information thereon may be secured from local Forest Service officers. On some of the forests hunters will be checked-in and given detailed information regarding special smoking and night campfire regulations.
All national forests in southern California are already cloSed to public use; and will remain closed until the end of the fire season.
"We want the sportsmen to enjoy camping, fishing and hunting in the national forests," said Mr. Show. "These forests provide good hunting grounds and have always been noted as a place for public recreation. But the extent to which the Federal forests will remain open to public use must be consistent with the hazards of the fire season and all rneasures vital to the war effort and national security.
"This season, far more than ever before, the whole-hearted cooperation in fire prevention of all sportsmen and forest visitors is essential. Already this year' California has had well over 4,000 forest, range and grain fires, which have burned in excess of 400,000 acres. Even more startling is the fact that the number of fires caused by man's carelessness has materially increased.
"The war has also brought new dangers to our forests and their resources. Lieut. General John L. DeWitt has forcefully pointed out that forest fires destroy needed war materials, limit visibility for defense air and sea patrol, disrupt communication and transportation systems, endanger defense plants and military establishments, and reduce water supply needed for hydroelectric production. Ih short, Forest Fires Delay Victory."
The Forest Service cautions sportsmen to watch for and respect "No Trespassing," "Closed Area," and "No Smoking" signs, and for their own safety to obey imrnediately the orders of sentries, peace officers and guards.
Edmund S. McBride of the Davis Lumber Company, Davis, Calif., was elected Jabberwock on the Supreme Nine of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo at the fifty-first annual convention of the Order, held at the Hotel Schroeder, Milwaukee, Wis., on September 9 to 11.

The gigantic sequoias and redwoods of California are botanical relics of the pre-glacial ages of huge reptiles, gigantic ferns, other strange natural forms. The sequoias may once have covered a large part of America but the coming of glacial ice wiped them out except small groups on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Redwoods are now harvested for their bark in addition to their lumber. The bark fiber is used for insulation, artificial wool fabrics. and mattresses.
A new, low cost siding material with a colorful and weatherproof mineral granule surface that eliminates painting has just been put on the market by The Celotex Corporation, of Chicago, according to an announcement by Marvin Greenwood, general sales manager.
The new product, called Celotex Mineral Surfaced Backer Board, can be used over any kind of sheathing. For temporary construction, it may be applied directly to framing, provided the studs are on lGinch centers.
The product consists of two sheets of heavy roofing felt, saturated with an asphaltic compound and bound together with a high melting-point asphalt adhesive. The outer surface of the sheets then receives an extra coating of asphalt, into which are embedded mineral granules.
The granule surface is currently available in two colors, buff and brown. On projects requiring large quantities, the board can be manufactured in other colors, including those on the list of standaril camouflage roofing bolors.
Celotex Mineral Surfaced Backer Board is economical in cost and can be applied rapidly because the units are large irt size and light in weight. It is suitable for siding army barracks and other military buildings, factory structures, low cost housing and temporary structures of many klnds.
The new product is 3/16' thick and is available in two widths: 3 ft. and 4 ft. Five lengths are available in each width : 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 f eet.

Silenced for the duration is much of the story of the S. S. I{erman F. Whiton as today, like other ships of the merchant marine, she is in war service for the war Shipping Administration. Not until after the victory is won will the public know where she sailed or what arms or food made up her cargoes to the widespread battle fronts.
And in pre-war days she was pretty much an ordinary rtssel. Of 8,800 tons launched in 1919 as a prodding workship, her holds carried a rather ugly cargosulphur from
the first, ever made from plywood rather than from canvas, the conventional material. Plywood for such applications aboard ship was a new thing for the seafaring men aboard the Whiton when first installed. Maybe in recent years the owners of other ships have heard of this use for plywood and the advantages of the panels for covers. Maybe other vessels now are fitted out with the wood rather than canvas coverings.
In any event, during the six years the plywood covers

Texas through Panama Canal to the pulp mills of the West Coast. Sometimes lumber for Atlantic ports was piled beneath or atop decks on the return voyage. She was owned by Union Sulphur Co.; her home port, New York City.
But even while the freighter trudges along in convoys there is at least one thing about her that warrants attention-and can be discussed. So far as is known, the plywood lifeboat covers which were lashed in place more than six years ago are still covering and protecting those lifeboats.
Those covers may have been the first, certainly among
have kept sea water and rain water out of the lifeboats of the Whiton, they have-proved their worth to the officeis of the vessel; Captain W. F. Whelan and First Mate Evans attest to this fact. And when two lifeboats were washed overboard and destroyed in a storm a year ago, the replacements purchased at the next port rvere promptly covered with plywood.

than canvas. First Mate Evans pointed out recently, when the Whiton was being converted for war duty, that the ship's carpenter can fashion a plywood cover at his leisure while the boat is underway (the Whiton has several panels of each of several thicknesses of Douglas fir plywood in her storeroom always). With the modern merchant marine not schooled in the use of sailcloth, the job of making a new canvas cover often must await the next port and become a rush job for a sailmaker while the ship unloads or loads.
The test aboard the Whiton sailing in the South Atlantic
Installation of lifeboat covers may have served as the opening wedge for taking aboard plywood as part of the stores of the Whiton, and now the ship's carpenter has many uses for the panels. Shower rooms are lined with the Exterior (waterproof) panels. The big panels, painted white, are easy to keep clean. Then there is a large cabinet or storage box for signal flags on the bridge where the flags u'ill be convenient to the signal halyards. Even signal boards, some of them as big as four by six feet and f inch thick, are of plywood.
Washington, Sept. 22.1he War Production Board today again called the attention of businessmen to the fact that whenever they wish to obtain information from WPB they should go to their regional or field offices before coming to Washington.

Something ncw cbocrrd ahip. \lllhen instclled on lhe S. S. Wbiton six yeqrs ago (this photo talen then), these plywood lileboat covers probcbly were
near the equator and northward to the Puget Sound ports in the Pacific proves again that Exterior type fir plywood will withstand all vicissitudes of weather. Inspection of the covers showed neither the sun nor wind-driven saltwater had affected the appearance or the durability of the covers. The Exterior type fir plywood, used for marine and outdoor applications, is bonded with synthetic resins completely waterproof, and the panels will withstand the same abuse as the wood from which they are made. These panels need only the same paint protection accorded any wood surface; aboard the Whiton the plywood covers were painted whenever the cabin and other super-structure of the freighter was given a new coat.
It is believed Captain Whelan was the originator of plywood lifeboat coyers when he ordered them built for his vessel. They are made in sections for ease of installation. These sections are lashed down with only eight ropes, four on each side, and can quickly be torn off in emergency. The panels are .ft-inch thick.
"We have 12 regional and t27 field offices scattered throughout the country," the announcement said. "They were established in order to save businessmen the trouble of coming to Washington, and also to prevent an overload of work in Washington.
"'When a businessman comes to Washington instead of going to his regional or field office he not only undergoes considerable expense and inconvenience himself, but also increases the burden on the men in Washington. Furthermore, the businessman can usually get quicker action in the field."
Announcement is made by the Rockport Redwood Co., San Francisco, that it is the desire of the directors to construct another mill as soon as possible to replace their sawmill at Rockport, Calif., which was destroyed by fire on September 8. The new mill will be of a type that can be put into early production. It is also announced that the company will have call by November 15 on a certain amount of production from another new Redwood mill.
The fire also destroyed the power plant, but the rest of the plant and the lumber stocks were not damaged. Shipments of lumber stocks on hand which can be applied on pending orders have been resumed.

Six thousand tons of steel will be saved by using wood in the construction of five new Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company war production plants, according to a statement attributed to G. H. A. Parkman, construction director, by International News Service.
"Enough steel for 300 medium tanks would be required for the framework of plants we now are building in Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, and Western Pennsylvania," Mr. Parkman declared. "We are doing the job with some 3,600,000 feet of wood. By joining the wood beams with steel joint connectors, the joints have about three times as much holding power as did the connections 20 years ago."
Ih addition to the framework, wood is being used instead of metal in window sash, drainage gutters, and similar applications. At one of the Westinghouse plants in West Virginia, a 100,00Ggallon water tank for fire protection is constructed of wood.
Mercury Aircraft Corporation recently announced acquisition of a plant in the Los Angeles area with 30,000 square feet of floor space for the manufacture of a tandem canopy-type trainer plane.
The fully equipped plant will specialize in plastic-plywood .construction which its engineers assert produces stronger, faster-type models.
The company plans to be in operation by October 1 on its initial trainer with tentative plans calling for five planes daily coming off the line.
In order to assure an adequate supply of cement in socalled "deficiency areas," as well as to provide a definite method of allocating recent increases in the cost of transporting cement, the OPA has issued MPR No. 224 (Cement), specifically setting a price regulation for sales of this product by manufacturers. Sales by dealers remain, with few exceptions, under the GMPR. A feature of the regulation is the establishment of specific "dollars and cents" maximum prices, on an f.o.b. mill basis, for cement shipped out of the territory not normally served by'the producer.
Wood produced on American farm woodlots adds approximately 24O million dollars a year to the income of American farmers.
