All commentators, journalistic and political, seem to agree that the General who is attracting the most attention, and getting the most criticism, in Washington right now, is General Confusion.

*,f*

As I look back over my recollections of World War One, it seems to me that the greatest difference between then and now is that most of the present confusion was lacking. Other oldsters seem to agree with that conclusion. George Creel, who was Chairman of the Committee on Public Information in the first war, in an article in the current issue of "Nation's Business," says that Woodrow Wilson's delegation of authority was complete and explicit; that conficts, duplications, and confusions were thoughtfully guarded against by giving each job ONE boss whose work was clearly outlined and understood, giving him full authority, and then holding him responsible for getting the job done.

Even Winchell suggested the other day that there is so much confusion in Washington now that even the Nazi spies can't find out anything. **{<

Senator Harry S. Truman, one of the most respected members of the Senate, writing in "American Magazine" says that "a large proportion of Washington makes its living by unraveling one another's red tape." He blamed "bureaucratic waste" and "overlapping jurisdiction" for much of the chaos. Another Senator recently reported to the Senate that there are now about 35,000 people on the government payrolls in Washington, writing publicity stuff. You can remember when all the propaganda writers employed by the Government could have ridden in one automobile.

Elmer Davis, the highly esteemed journalist and war correspondent, who for several months past has been fighting the very difficult assignment of Director of War Information has, according to official announcement, already .eliminated for the duration 239 federal publications, and ordered reduction in size oi. 284 more. And Mr. Davis says this is only the beginning. James W. Byrnes, the new Director of Economic Stabilization, used to say when he was a member of the Senate that the nearest thing to immortality in lhis world is a Government bureau lhe need

for them may disappear, they may have nothing left to do, but they go on forever. It is largely to preserve the immortality of these bureaus that thousands of men are writing.

ttr|.*

So, knowing his opinions regarding bureaus and their inclination to increase and multiply, many believe that Jimmy Byrnes may in his.huge new job, do a lot to eliminate the Washington state of confusion. His appointment to the inflation-fighting job, met with approval from one end of the country to the other.

t,t*

A young American aviator has made himself famous by the terse, direct and laconic report he made to his commanding officer: "Sighted sub; sank same." Elmer Davis might sign that young m:rn up as an aide to help him cut down the Niagara of unnecessary words coming out of Washington. Or he might get Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia. That black-skinned gentleman is likewise master of the short order. Wasting words is not in his make-up. Ever hear of the selective service law he sent out to all the men in his Kingdom, when the Italians invaded Ethiopia in 1937?

d<**

Here it is. If it isn't a classic, you're wasting your time looking for something that is. A well known officer says that often, after he has wearied his brain trying to dig the meaning from some verbose and redundant order or regulation, he turns for relief to Haile Selassie's draft act, which read:

"Every man able to carry a spear will come to Addis Ababa to fight.

"The blind, the lame, and those too young to carry a spear, need not come.

"Married men bring their wives to cook for them.

"Men without wives bring any available woman.

"Anyone found at home will be hung."

(Signed) Haile Selassie. t**

The lumber dealer slept and dreamed, And when he woke from slumber, He prayed "Lord,let me sleep againI dreamed I had some lumber."

!fi:t*

Some hustler once said that "conditions never get so bad that a go-getter can't make things go." And a lot of retail lumber dealers who are struggling manfully and intelligently to stay in business, will be inclined to answer -"Qs where?" For things are getting tough, folks, they're sure getting tough. At a time when most students of the building situation thought the peak of government building would be past, and at least a partial return toward civilian building started, word comes from many reputable sources that the government need of lumber will continue for at least six more months. Doesn't, seem possible, but is probably true.

+**

I used to think that there never was and never could be a demand for lumber that the mills of this country could not swamp. But when you look at things in normal times and measure them with normal rules and measuring sticks, you overlook a lot of things that come up in time of stress and emergency. I still think the mills could more than take care of any possible lumber demand if they could get all the men and tires and logs and equipment they could use; together with a guarantee of good logging weather in those regions where bad weather kills logging. But, of course, things aren't that way.

*)F*

The hardwood sawmills of the South, and of the country generally, are now as completely swamped by Government orders as are the Pine, Fir, and other softwood mills. While there is no "freeze" on hardwood lumber, in its great need the Government turned to hardwoods when the softwood mills found themselves unable to furnish dl the stock when it was wanted, and began substituting hardwoods for use in the general building program.

'f{<*

Today in the South the Government is buying construction boards in any species of hardwood, and many mills are cutting their smaller logs up into construction boards en-

tirely. With their larger logs they aim to make the lower grades fit Government construction needs. Also dimension. The Government now uses both Oak and Gum for dimension in place of softwoods. Same way with Southern Cypress. They grab it as fast as it falls from the saw. And there are many special Government needs outside of building construction, now being suppied by the hardwoOd mills, where only softwoods formerly were used.

*:f*

A few months back it would have been possible for th€ lumber dealer to pick up a whole lot of hardwood lumber that he could use as a substitute for softwood in\local building operations. But the Government moved into the hardwood field verf, very fast, and today ttrere is little difference between the situation of the Southern Pine mills and the Southern hardwood mills in the matter of lumber supply. They practically have none on hand, and they ship what they make just as fast as possible.

,tri*

It does stand to reason that sooner or later the Government will finish the construction of the huge udits for the shelter of men and property that are now being built in such number throughout the land, and after that, while there will still be a terrific Government need for lumber, it wil be for a different class and character of lumber, leaving the common building material stock, which is now in such unprecedented demand, somewhat out of the high tide. No doubt that time will come. No one knows just when. Army training camps are something like colleges. They don't build new college buildings every year to handle the new crop of scholars. And it will be the same' way with soldiers. ft is reasonable to suptrDse that the camps, barracks, fields, and training quarters that will suffice for the training of four million men, would likewise train twenty million if necessary. The new men come, get their training, and go, and the next group comes. ***

Continually someone asks: "\i[fhat on earth are we going to do with all the second-hand lumber in all these camps and barracks and storehouses, etc., when the $rar ends?" Hells Bellz, friends ! Let's not tackle that problem yet. 'We've got problems enough right now to keep us all busyand worried. *'t*

Saw a cartoon the other day, that I liked. It showed a colored soldier who had removed the bayonet from his rife, and substituted an open ruzor. He wanted a weapon he was familiar with. -Remember the story of the World War colored soldier who fought a German hand to hand? The Germans missed with his bayonet and the darkey swung his razor. "Never touched me," the German said. "No?" said the dusky one. "Just wait till you shake you' haid.'

Changes in Conseryation Order M-208

San Francisco, October S.-Several changes were made today by the War Production Board in conservation order M-208, which rigidly controls the distribution and use of all types and grades of softwood lumber the Regional WPB revealed.

In the original order, preference ratings applying to lists, A, B, and C were assigned "unless a higher rating is applied or extended thereto under a preference rating order or certificate." Today's amendment (No. 2) provides that no preference rating is assigned by M-208 to any delivery of softwood lumber if the user is entitled to apply or extend a preference rating assigned on any other preference rating order or certificate.

The amendment also makes minor adjustments of classifications. The revised classes follow:

Class l-Orders for the most urgent needs, bearing preference ratings of AA-1 or AA-2.

Class 2-Orders bearing preference ratings of AA-2X, AA-3, AA-4, or lower, but higher than A-1-A, including uses listed in list A attached to the order.

Class 3-Orders bearing preference rating A-1-A through A-1-K, including uses listed in list B attached to the order.

Class 4-Orders bearing preference ratings lower than A1-K, including those uses listed in list C attached to the order.

AAA Orders, of course, are to be accepted and filled ahead of all other orders and without regard to restrictions placed on certain grades.

The amendment adds certain grades of softwood lumber to the restricted categories. The revised list follows:

Southern Pine, Douglas Fir or Western Larch sold as meeting specifications of 1,800 or 2,000 fiber stress per square inch, or 1300 or 1450 pounds compression stress, except on class 1 orders;

Southern Pine, Douglas Fir, Cypress or Western Larch sold as meeting specifications of 1,400 or 1,600 pounds fiber stress per square inch, or 11@ or 1200 pounds compression stress, except on Class 1 or Class 2 orders,

Douglas Fir, West Coast Hemlock, Noble Fir or Sitka Spruce, of Grades No. 1, No. 2 or any higher common grade, except on Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 orders,

Southern Pine of Grades No. 1, No. 2 or any higher common grade, or of No. 1 Box or No. 2 Box (not including D or better flooring, ceiling, drop siding or partition) except on Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 orders,

Idaho White Pine, Northern White Pine, Eastern White Pine, Norway Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Jack Pine Cypress, White Fir, Eastern Hemlock, Engelmann Spruce or Western White Spruce, of grades No. 2 or No. 3 common, except on Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 orders,

Eastern Spruce or grades selected merchantable and grade No. 1 (merchantable), except on Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 orders.

The original order provided for only a 60-day inventory and required use by the consumer within 60 days, or l2O days in the case of green lumber. The Amendment removes this restrictien from producers, such as sawmills and concentration yards and box factories. A producer is defined as "any plant which processes, by sawing, edging, planing or other comparable method, 25 per cent or more of the total volume of logs and lumber purchased or received by it." A box factory is defined as "any person who manufactures from softwood lumber purchased by him, boxes, box shooks, or cut-to-order size rating."

Fir Door O PA Ruling

San Francisco, Oct. 6.Higher transportation costs caused by increased freight rates on Douglas Fir doors may be included in the manufacturer's selling price, the Office of Price Administration said today through the Regional Office.

This provision, inserted in the maximum price regulation for Douglas Fir door (revised price schedule No. 44), brings the regulation into conformity with prices regulations for other lumber products by allowing the seller to use the same method of computing transportation costs that he used in the 30 day period ending December 10, 1942. The change is contained in Amendment No. 1, effective October 6.

Absolutely None

The baby specialist was discussing the interesting topic of mother and babe from the scientific standpoint and he made the statement that nothing in life is more definite and certain than pre-natal influences flowing from mother to child. For instance, he said, if a mother becomes absorbed by some obsession during the months immediately preceding the birth of her child that obsession or line of thought, or whatever it might be, is certain to be refected in the child; will mark the child in some fashion His friend disagreed. He said:

t'Now, Doc, you're wrong about that, and I'm a living

proof that you are. Few women ever had a worse obsession than my mother did during the months preceding my birth. She became mad on the subject of phonograph playing. She played the phonograph all her waking hours. She would put on a record and let it run down, then start it over again and do the same, until she wore it out. Then she would change records, and do the same. They coutd do nothing with her. She just played the phonograph all the time. Now, according to your theory, that obsession of her's should have marked me. But it didn't. Not in the least. As a matter of fact it had absolutely no effectno effect-no effect-no gfrssf-."

Authorizcs Additions to Log Ceiling Prices

Washington, Oct. S-About fifty Pacific coast logging companies were authorized by the Office of Price Administration today to add overtime premiums to their ceiling prices because of extensive overtime payments to their workers.

Provision for the overtime price bonuses was recently made to combat the shortage of labor in the West Coast forests.

The amount of bonus is scaled to the degree of overtime operation. Each firm may continue to add the authorized surcharge to its ceiling price for its entire production so long as it continues to operate on an overtime basis. The effective date is tomorrow.

Forty-one logging companies operating on a forty-eight hour week were authorized to add $1 a thousand feet for all logs produced.

One company, the West Fork Logging Company of Tacoma, was certified as being on a sixty hour week and was authorized to add to its ceiling $2 a thousand feet.

U, S. Truck Conservation Program Restrictionc Lifted on Employment of

The Office of Defense Transportation has a plan to help truck owners to conserve their equipment. It is known as the U. S. Truck Conservation Corps and every operator of one or more trucks is asked.- in fact, urgedto join at once.

Membership in the Truck Conservation Corps is free and involves simply goihg to an official stationservice station, repair shop or truck agency displaying the TCC' emblemand signing the ODT pledge to maintain your vehicles scientifically for the duration of the war. You'll then be given a red-white-and-blue decalcomania to paste on the right-hand cab door, and a booklet outlining the government's war-time program for truck upkeep. It contains full information on how to stretch mileage by scientific preventive maintenance.

You'll be expected, as a patriotic duty, to apply these principles, developed through the experience of the country's largest truck operators in keeping their overhead costs down to the minimum, in operating your own vehicles. Common sense, however, dictates that you'll want to do this for your own protection, if hauling in your own trucks means anything to you.

Since the trucks you now operate are the only ones you're likely to have until the war's over-and probably, for some little time thereafter-the wisdom of tightening up on your maintenance program so as to "Keep 'Em Rolling" is obvious.

Note: The U. S. Truck Conservation Corps program has no relationship to the national registration of trucks which becomes effective November 15. A certificate of war necessity will then become as essential to operating a commercial vehicle as a state license plate. Joining the Truck Conservation Corps, on the other hand, is purely a voluntary move on the part of the owner and is intended to make available to him the experience and technical methods used by large fleet owners to keep their equiiment running at top efficiency.

Minors at Sawmills

"Dormant Scrap Drive" Launched

San Francisco, Oct. l-West Coast industry was called upon by the Conservation Division of WPB to enlist in the nation-wide "Dormant Scrap Drive" which was launched today and which will continue for 90 days.

Seventy thousand of the nation's industrial executives including 6,000 in the West, are to be visited by the district and field chiefs of the Industrial Salvage Section at least three times in this three-months period to assure their 1@ per cent cooperation in the vital "Dormant Scrap" collection program.

Scouring every corner of their plants for dormant scrap, these of Western industrial "salvage scout" recruits will make spot surveys for the disposal of such materials to the slogan:

"ff it hasn't been used for the last three months, and no one can prove'it can be used in the next three-find a use for it or scrap it."

And "IT" means the thousands of tons of dormant or obsolete equipment, tools, machines, materials and accumulated metal that are urgently needed to keep lJncle Sam's war machine rolling toward greater output of ships, tanks and guns.

While the field force of the Industrial Salvage Section has been doubled, with twelve 'Western representatives, plus four district chiefs, the "Dormant Scrap Drive,' has also enlisted several hundred volunteer salesmen and sales executives from a nation-wide roll-call of 2500 men certified as temporary field representatives for this special campaign

This combined field staff will ask Western industry executives to make an inventory of all dormant scrap materials to make a complete disposal of all these materials through regularly organized scrap dealer channels as rapidly as possible.

These salesmen have been drawn from the sales staffs of all the major steel companies, the American Steel Ware-

house Association and the Associated Equipment Distributors.

Operation of this program has been organized by the Industrial Salvage Section, under Hamilton W. Wright through the regional chiefs of the WPB, and the American Industries Salvage Committee, which is headed by Robert W. Wolcott.

Executives of these organizations, heading up the salvage program in conjunction with this special dormant scrap drive, are-George Ross, secretary of the Salvage Committee of the American fron and Steel Institute, Walter S. Doxey, president, American Steel Warehouse Association, C. F. Winchester, executive secretary, Associated Equipment Distributors, and H. R. Doughty, director of Field Operations on Salvage for the National Federation of Sales Executives.

The nation's urgent war need for continuous production for open-hearth and electric furnaces and other users of scrap during the winter months of. 1943 is dependent on the collection of seven million additional tons of iron and steel scrap prepared for delivery to the mills for use during the winter months.

Accordingly, top executives of all industrial plants are being urged to:

1. fnstruct the salvage executive of their plant, together with other necessary executive officials, to inqpect aliareas of their plant to determine what salvable items falling in the above dormant scrap classification can be scrapped.

2. Mark clearly each such item for quick identification and make a list in duplicate, for their own use, in order that plant management may authorize the disposition of each itdm. Indicate approximate weight opposite every piece of dormant scrap.

3. Arrange immediately to dispose of all dormant scrap. The government's grave responsibility to supply American armed forces with ships, guns, airplanes and tankq, necessitates the adoption of this scrap program for the duration.

Estimated Consumption of Western Pine Lumber for Fourth Qu.tter of 1g4Z

Portland, Oregon, Sept. ZLAn estimate of the probable consumption of lumber frorp the Western Pine region for the fourth quarter oI L942 is given in a statement issued by the 'Western Pine Association here today. The statement is as follows:

The importance of lumber to the War effort is steadily receiving more recognition by various government agencies. Within the past six weeks the War Production Board has issued softwood lumber Conservation Order M-208 to replace L-121, the War l\fanpower Commission has announced its Employment Stabilization Plan, the Selective Service has recommended a much more comprehensive list of critical occupations in the lumber industry for consideration by local and state draft boards, and the Army and Navy Munitions Board has concentrated purchasing for numerous War agencies under the direction of a special Lumber Committee. Although these various moves by the Government have not all been immediately helpful to the industry's efforts, they do show that the critical importance of lumber is clearly recognized and that attenipts are being made to remove some of the obstacles to still greater production.

Preliminary estimates of third quarter performance indicate that the Western Pine industry shipped more lumber than in the record breaking third quarter of L94L, in spite of the fact that the industry was shipping from stocks which averaged 250 million feet under those of a year ago. Shipments of 4821 million feet during the first nine months of the year were 4.2 per cent above those in the same period of. 1941.

While making this all time high record for third quarter shipments the industry was sawing enough more so that 26 million feet of lumber was added to stocks which will be shipped during the fall and winter. This is about a normal seasonal increase, though stocks on hand still are very low for this time of year and for the tremendous rate of current shipments.

That the industry was able to produce this much lumber

in spite of labor shortage which rapidly grows more acute, difficulties in securing tires and equipment, and a multiplicity of Government regulations is a striking testimonial to the resourcefulness and determination of the operators. This record was achieved partly by paying large sums for overtime work, even though a ceiling limits lumber prices to those of nearly a year ago. A recent survey shows that on September 1st logging crews in the Western Pine industry were averaging 49 hours and mill crews 47 hours per week, a record of which the industry is justly proud.

Based on general predictions and all other available information concerning the use of these products, it is expected that, during the fourth quarter of. l94Z the shipments (consumption) of W'estern Pine lumber will be about 1455 million feet. This would mean a volume of shipment for the year about 2.4 per cent above the previous record set in 1941. Shipments will continue to be limited only by the ability of the mills to make deliveries. The industry undoubtedly will utilize all available men and equipment to produce the greatest possibe volume of the lumber needed to help win the war.

OPENS YARD AT FONTANA

Recent Governmental Actions Designed to Encourage Fuel--Saving Measures

Widespread participation in the national fuel conservation program by property owners in all sections of the country has been greatly facilitated by recent governmental actions designed to encourage fuel-saving measures, Federal Housing Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson declared today.

Through these actions, #artime restrictions have been lifted, use of the necessary materials has been permitted, and favorable financing terms made available so that properties now heated by scarce fuels may be converted to coal-burning equipment, and excessive fuel consumption reduced by use of proper insulation, Mr. Fergusou said.

The Commissioner urged property owners to make use of these opportunities in order to help save fuel and to safeguard healthful conditions during the coming winter months. If the property owner lacks cash to pay for furnace conversion or insulation in one lump sum, loans for such purposes may be secured from the private lending institutions .operating under the FHA's Title I program, he pointed out.

By a recent order, installation of insulation materials, air cell pipe covering, weather-stripping, and storm windows and doors in order to conserve fuel has been exempted from the War Production Board's Conservation Order L-41. Previously, insulation projects costing more than $200 in the case of one-to-five family houses or more than $1,000 in the case of larger residential structures required specific WPB authorization.

The exemption applies to insulation projects started before January l, 1943, and prohibits the use of rubber, cork, or metal other than for fastenings.

The order also exempted from L-41 all construction started prior to January 1 which is necessary for the conversion or substitution of heating equipment to permit use of fuel other than oil, electricity or gas. Previdusly, this exemption had applied only to the Eastern States and to Oregon and Washington.

Under WPB regulations, the sale or delivery of equipment to be used for converting equipment burning oil or gas to coal-burning equipment is exempt from the restrictions of Plumbing and Heating Order L-79.

From a financing standpoint, loans to finance furnace conversion or insulation projects are exempt from the Federal Reserve Board's consumer credit regulations. As a result, loans for such purposes under the FHA's Title I program may run for as long as three years in amounts up to $2,500, the maximum terms permitted by the Nationa Housing Act for loans of this type. Title I loans are repaid in equal monthly installments.

F'IRST SAWMILLS '

The first sawmills in New York were established in 1623. One of these started at Fort Orange, which later became Albany. In 1701 there were 4O sawmills in operation in the Colony. One of these had twelve saws, considered a wonderful advance for those times when four saws in one mill was generally considered the maximum possible.

Ladies in the Forests

The girls are in the forests And they're busy as the bees. Not one of them is lolling Leisurely beneath the trees, No, they're taking up ungirly jobs So the lumberjacks can go To the points where they are needed And make sawdust bf the foe.

Gals might cruise a stand of timber, Burn the slash or blaze a tree, But they can't make good as fallers, Leastwise, so it seems to me. Sure, they ask a lot of questions, That's their way of acting bright, Just today one up and twittered, "Do the ground mules kick and bite?"

One thought she could break a log jam, But she couldn't tell just how, One opined she'd paint the bunk house, Or stir up some extra chow; And another pretty maiden, In a gently naive way, Said she'd always thought a straw boss Was a rabot stuffed with hav.

Yes, the girls are in the forests, But that shouldn't make us blue, I think we'll soon be boasting Of the jobs they'll learn to do; While from many a logging center, Fearless and hard muscled chaps Will surge out across the ocean And make sawdust of the Japs.

Itemi of Interest

Under the methods of tree-farming reconmended by the American forest products industries, the country's farm wood lots would bring to farm families an additional income of approximately a half billion dollars a year, the equivalent of a new major crop.

Of the claimed "largest" trees in America, growth cham.pions of 23 species are in Maryland: Black cherry, black gum, red gum, hackberry, holly, horse chestnut, Kentucky coffee, black locust, cucumber magnolia, silver maple, black chestnut, Osage orange, American persimmon, serviceberry, tulip, loblolly, pine, white pine, shortleaf pine, and four kinds of oak---overcup, red, swamp white, and white.

Log driving on the upper Hudson River started in 183O.

Ordinary walnut shells ground fine as flour compose approximately 30 per cent of the plastic tools used by the Vega Aircraft Corporation in making airplanes.

Wood is being quickly seasoned for the Army and Navy at Southern and 'Western lumber mills by the use of a syrithetic ammonia-salt.

Fire protection and. selective harvesting as a means of maintaining forever the country's forests and woodlands on a perpetual basis are the principal requirements for a tract to be designated by the forest products industries as a "Tree Farm."

"Evergreen" trees are largely used in returning wornout and eroded farmland to the forest under the forest industries' national tree-farm program because this species of tree will grow on impoverished land and needs only onefourth as much moisture as hardwoods.

Sun-dried peach pits, used as war-time fuel on the West Coast, are reported to give as much heat in domestic furnaces and grates as hard coal.

Redwood blinds have proved popular in duck marshes o{ gun clubs because they are little afrected by moisture even under intermittent wetting and drying.

F H A Esgential Repair Loans Not Reduced Amounts Up to $2,500 Available

Confusion exists among some property olvners and builders as to available loans for essential repairs and maintenance to existing properties, it was stated by Wilson G. Bingham, Southern California District director, Federal Housing Administration.

Loans up to $2,500, for terms up to three years continue available under FHA insurance, Mr. Bingham said.

"The $200 limitation, which has been confusing, is not a Federal Housing Administration regulation, but rather the War Production Board, Conservation Order, L-141, amended as of Sept. 2, 1942, relative to all construction in general but not including essential repair and maintenance of existing property.

"Loans for essential repairs continue available in any amounts and can be insured by FHA up to $2,500.

"Time for repayment of borrowed funds for such purposes has likewise become somewbat confused because of Federal Reserve Board Regulation "W" which has created the impression that the l2-month limitation applies to all loans of less than $1,500. Again, this is not a FHA regulation and does not apply to loans for purposes of creating additional quarters for war workers in designated defense areas, or for loans to be used in repairs essential to continued habitation.

"fn such cases the lending institution, or the registrant builder or contractor identifies this character of repairs as being necessary by endorsing a form, and holding this form with his loan file for purposes of record, and in that event, the loan may be insured for any period up to three years if for the purpose of making repairs.

"Generally speaking, it may be said that this type of loan would apply to such repairs as roofing, termite extermination, some classes of exterior painting, sub-floor bracing to older structures, and the like.

"A recent publication from Washington FHA office has stated that 'it is the obligation of the owner to keep his home in repair; it is a part of his contribution to the war program.'

"Lending institutions generally and the FHA local ofrce are prepared for more active inquiries regarding this type of loan for home maintenance because of the recent war restrictions of new residential building, which restrictions obviously will force into more intensive use existing, wellmaintained homes.

'All FHA-insured loans are repayable in equal monthly installments throughout the loan period," Mr. Bingham concluded.

NEW TECO MOVIE DEPICTS PREFABRICATION OF HOUSES

Five prints of a highly interesting, S0Gfoot, lGmm motion picture film illustrating the quantity manufacture and erection of prefabricated wood dwelling houses now are available for loan to construction engineers and forest industry groups on request to Timber Engineering Co., Washington, D. C. Dr. J. E. Myer, Teco research engineer, "shot" the picture at the Green Lumber Co. plant, Laurel, Miss.

Old Age Complains

They call me old. They will not let me fight. They say they only want the young men now. Why? Just because my hair's a trifle white, And growing thinJike just above my brow?

They say I cannot fy, nor use a gun, Nor stand the marches or the heavy strife; They will not let me kill a single Hun t

They have condemned me to civilian life. I cannot go to war. But,list the pipes

Sounding a tocsin for "old men" like me !

They call us to defend the Stars and Stripes, To do our little bit for Victory !

With Red Cross, Bonds, and saving all I can, At least I'll stand behind some fine YOUNG man !

The volume of all building and engineering construction -exclusive of shipbuilding-scheduled for the war program in 1943 will drop by more than a third, it was estimated October 2 by WPB.

At the present rate such war construction alone will reach a total of more than $11,000,000,m0 at the end of 1942, topping the previous all-time rpcord for all types of construction established in I9/7 with a figure slightly less than $11,000,000,000

An estimate of next year's construction total was made in a telegram sent by Stacy May, Director of the Statistics Division, WPB, to the annual meeting in Colorado Springs, Colo., of the American Institute of Steel Construction.

LUMBER TRUCK OPERATORS MUST HAVE ..CERTIFICATE OF Tdl/AR NECESSITY" BY NOV. 15

A1l operators of logging and lumber industry trucks, truck-tractors, and "similar vehicles" must apply to the nearest ODT Field Office for a Certificate of War Necessity, which will be required for all vehicles after November 15. Gasoline and tires will be sold only to vehicles having a certificate. Application blanks are being sent to all owners of registered vehicles. Operators having unregistered vehicles should secure application blanks from.the nearest field office of ODT's Division of Motor Transport.

IMPORTATION OF MAHOGANY LIMITED UNDER NEvtI PLAN

A war-emergency plan under which mahogany importers can operate during the 1942-43 cutting seasons was announced jointly September D by the Board of Economic 'Warfare, the Defense Supplies Corporation, qnd WPB. It provides that mahogany logs and mahogany lumber can be imported after October 1 only under contract authorization from the Defense Supplies Corporation.

REDWOOD

A 35-year old Berkeley home, built entirely of Redwood, was sold recently. So impressed with finding the structure as "sound and sturdy as the day it was built," the new owner will use Redwood construction throughout two houses to be erected when priorities are lifted.

Application Blanlcs to Provide Inventory of Tires on Commercial Autos

Applications for Certificates of War Necessity under General Order ODT No. 21, effective November 15, will provide the ODT with a complete inventory of all tires now on the wheels of the country's more than 5,000,000 non-military commercial vehicles or held for the use of such vehicles.

In applying for a Certificate of War Necessity, every operator must report the number and condition of all tires in his possession by sizes or size groups including both new and used tires.

In addition, the operator must list the mileage of tires, by sizes, which were removed from service in 1941, exclusive of retreaded or recapped tires, thus giving the ODT a definite gage on normal consumption of new tires by commercial vehicles.

Any operator of a truck, bus, taxicab, jitney, ambulance, hearse or vehicle available for public rental who resides in any such county and who has not received his application blank when this announcement appears, should apply immediately to the nearest field office of the ODT's division of motor transport, stating the number of selfpowered vehicles he operates so that the proper application blank can be forwarded to him.

Proposition No. 1

C. W. Pinkerton, Lumbermen's Governmental Service Bureau, Whittier, has sent out a bulletin on Proposition No. 1, prohibiting hot cargo and secondary boycott, which will be on the California ballot at the coming election, November 3. He cites several arguments in favor of the referendum measure.

Mr. Pinkerton says: "This law was enacted by the California State Legislature at its session in 1941, and was vetoed by the Governor. It was submitted to full and open hearings and debate before it was passed over the Governor's veto by a vote of 33 to 5 in the Senate, and 54 to 26 in the Assembly. A 'yes' vote on this referendum proposal will be a vote to support your regularly elected Legislative representatives."

\(/PB Drives to Get 30,000 Typewriters For Army and Navy

San Francisco, Sept. 27.The West Coast drive for 30,000 typewriters to be channeled into Army and Navy operations gathered momentum today, as scores of firms piedged incieasing numbers of their machines for the qrgent need of the armed forces, according to Regional WPB officials.

Emphasizing the fact that machines sold to the armed services at this time will be credited to possible future requisition orders, the War Production Board declared that this u'as an opportunity for business firms to dispose of semi-idle equipment at l94t trade-in allowance prices.

"The Pacific Coast has been charged by the Army, Navy and War Production with a quota of 30,000 machines-enough to make a stack nearly five miles highand this challenge must be met as soon as possible, the Regional WPB announced.

"Typewriters are a tool of warfare, as they are vital to the fighting forces and the supply troops on the home and battle fronts. All machines are being earmarked for actual Army and Navy usage, which is extremely economical in its typewriting operations. Under actual comparisons, the armed services use one machine to every 125 men while in civilian business the average is approximately one to five employees," the WPB declared.

By checking machine usage, doubling up in office equipment and streamlining office typing facilities, many firms 'are selling more than one-fourth of their available typewriters to Uncle Sam.

Machine owners of machines of 1935 or later makes (no portables wanted) are asked to notify their registered dealers, manufacturers' representative or the War Production Board regional, state or district offices. Rall

Successful Hunting Trip

The accompanying photograph shows Hawk Huey, Phoenix, Arizona, lumberman and game hunter enthusiast, and the two buck antelopes he got on a recent hunting trip.

He says: "Ration or not we have a little wild stuff. Knocked off the one on my right, weight 87 lbs., September 20, on Mogollon Rim in Coconino County, Arizona."

Hawk is a very versatile gentleman these days, and in addition to his lumber and hunting activities, finds time to do some writing. In the September 10 edition of the daily newspaper, Phoenix Gazette, he was the guest editorial writer for that day, his subject being "Popular Government." Outstanding men and women of Arizona write the "Guest Editorial" for the Phoenix Gazette each day, the subject on which each writes is his own selection.

Appointed Permanent Representative of \f CLA in !(/ashinston

Seattle, Washington, September 28, l942-Announcement of the appointment of Harold V. Simpson as permanent representative of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in Washington, D. C., was made by the Association today. Mr. Simpson is a native and product of Oregon, while a large share of his lumber industry experience was acquired as secretary and assistant general manager of the Seaboard Lumber Company of Seattle. Born at Ashland, Oregon, he completed his education at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, graduating in 1923. If e saw front-line, service with the Artillery in World War I.

"Mr. Simpson is well equipped by his practical experience in lumber-which includes two years of sawmilling, one year in the New York market, a long term in export lumber, and a period of trade promotion in the United Kingdom-to take charge of the Association's Washington office. Wartime relations of our industry with the Federal agencies are of exceptional importance. An adequate supply of lumber is one of the first essentials for successful prosecution of the war, and it is the purpose of the industry to give the Government all-out cooperation in lumber supply.

"While the Association has had good representation in Washington since early in 194O, it has not been on a permanent basis. The work was headed for a year by H. W. Murphy, now operating director of the Bureau of Grades, and is at present under R. T. Titus, WCLA director of Trade Extension. It has become evident that the work of the Association in Washington must be continued after the war. Construction programs already loom large in post-war planning. This means more work for West Coast lumber.

"Another post-war probability is wide expansion of the reciprocal trade policy of Secretary Hull, in which West Coast luinber also has a vital interest. The industry looks forward to recovery of its world markets. The immense storehouse of mature Douglas fir timber will serve as a source for reconstruction of a war-torn world as well as it is serving the nation's war effort now."
