Christmas Trees

Xlost people u,ho want Christrnas trees will be able to to get them, from all present indications, the War Production Board states. They may, horvever, be more dependent on local supplies thar.r in former \iears, l'ith less choice in rnaking their selection. Christmas trees are not subject to an1' WPB procluction or distrillution controls, but shortgages of manpo\\rer ancl transportation facilities will undoubtedll. iimit the supplv. From 10,000,0O0 to 12,000,000 trees are norm:rlly cut ancl distributed annually. Estimates of the nurnbcr that rvill be han'ested commercially for this Christm:rs season varl-. ()ne nation-n'ide distributor reports that the output will be about the same as last 1'ear; other sorlrces expect large decreases in production. More trees n'ill probably be harvested and sold locally to avoid lonq haulasc.
