Vagabond Editorials

(Continued from Page 7) of building. It will probably be the same after this war. Our citizenship will be well heeled with Government Bonds, there will be a great demand for new homes, and the bond money will drift in great volume into buil'ding, I believe.

Let us join together in prayer that the lumber dqaler in wholesale quantity will not be driven out of existence, but that enough of the spirit of give and take will be used in formulating building regulations so that he may continue to furnish a service vital to our citizenship and to the winning of the war, and thus leave the working structure of a precious post-war industry intact.

Amendment 5 to Order M-208

Sales and deliveries of Douglas fir lumber, after October D, by producers who come within the provisions of Limitation Order L-218, are removed from the restrictions of M-208, which regulates the softwood lumber industry. This is made clear by Amendment No. 5 to M-Zffi, issued today, October 77.

The definition of "softwood lumber" as the term is applied to species and grades markgtable under M-208, is amended by a qualifying clause that reads: "Provided that 'softwood lumber'shall not include Douglas fir lumber sold, shipped or delivered by producers in accordance with the provisions of Limitation Order L-2I8" (Paragraph a-1).

By deletion of the species name, Douglas fir, in subparagraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) of paragraph (f) (l), M-208 is amended to exclude lumber of that variety from the restrictions and control imposed on softwood producers and users generally by that order.

Sales, shipments and deliveries of Douglas fir lumber by producers within. the scope of. L-218 may be made October D only to the Central Procuring Agency for the armed services and their agents, or through the Lumber Products Branch at the direction of the Director General for Operations.

Lumbermen's Thanksgiving

Oh lumbermen, my lumbermen, When on Thanksgiving Day You're giving very heartfelt thanks, I wonder what you'll say.

Oh well, the sky is blue above, The grass is green below, And if they're not just at this time, They'll very soon be so.

You'll say, they're building ships of wood Both for the sky and sea, And that the forest products now Are serving destiny. And you'll be glad to have a part In keeping war at bay, And think full many a grateful thought On this Thanksgiving Day.

Oh lumbermen, my lumbermen, The sledding may be rough, But you will prove to Nazidom Americans are tough.

So now on this Thanksgiving Day You'll don your fighting togs And thank whatever gods there be There's no taboo on logs.

And I am sure that you will see Through all the clouds that lower, The brighter days that are to come When righteousness shall flower. When all the tumult and the strife Of war at length shall cease, And once again we all shall walk In harmony and peace.

So lumbermen, my lumbermen In your own gallant way, I know you'll see that old bright side, On this Thanksgiving Day.

Pulpwood Control Further Increaged bv \(/PB

San Francisco, Oct. 27.A move toward exercising further control of pulpwood in the states of Washington and Oregon was announced by the Director General for Operations, with the issuance of schedule No. 2 to General Preference Order M-25I, the regional WPB reported.

Schedule No. 2 extends the area of pulpwood control to an area set apart'and described in this schedule, and referred to as the Columbia-Willamette area. It provides that the Director General for Operations may from time to time allocate specific quantities of pulpwood logs to and from specific persons in the Columbia-Willamette area.

Fourteen mills are located in the Columbia-Willamette area. Until the mills receive further directions from the Director General for Operations, they may continue to consume or dispose of pulpwood as though schedule No. 2 had not been issued.

Action is necessary because a certain amount of logs now consumed in pulpwood will probably have to be diverted to lumber in the Columbia-Willamette area, due to a shortage of lumber logs.

Study \Tooden Container Problem

San Francisco, Oct. D.The containers branch of the War Production Boafd today at Washington urged manufacturers of wooden packing boxes-and packers who use them-to investigate thoroughly the possibility of substitute materials available for containers in planning their future operations.

The branch revealed that a study of the whole wooden container problem now is under way in view of the increasingly serious steel and lumber situation which has been reflected in curtailed supplies of wire, nails and lumber available for wooden boxes.

It is very likely that some action will be necessary to reduce the use of lumber for wooden packing boxes for which substitutes are available in order to assure an ample supply for military and lend-lease shipments and also to maintain lumber requirements for other essential purposes.

Glossary of Housing Terms

The National Bureau of Standards, Department of Commerce, announces the publication in its Building Materials and Structures series, of a Glossary of Housing Terms in which is presented a large number of expressions found in housing literature.

The publication was prepared by a committee composed of members of various Federal housing agencies, the purpose being to bring together, for the convenient use of all interested persons, definitions that are generally accepted and currently used.

This is a revision and expansion of a publication issued in1937. Additions are most extensive in the fields of landsgape and construction work, where considerable confusion exists regarding many definitions.

It is hoped to subject the document to further improvement from time to time with a view to making it a permanent source of usefulness.

Copies of the glossary, which bears the designation BMS91, are obtainable from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. The price is 15 cents.
