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."
