"We've prepared ourselves, our people, and our balance sheet for these hard times which have been battering the forest products industry for nearly two years already. Given the administration's strong leadership in attempting to match federal spending with revenues, we believe the sacrifices forced on our industry by the government's continued strict monetary policy will produce the results necessary to get America growing again."

Merlo said few other companies in America are as well situated to benefit from improved housing starts as the government hits the economy's accelerator sometime in 1982.

Put Blame on Computer

Deadbeats have added a new alibi to the litany of "the check is in the mail." Now the computer is getting the blame.

Among the excuses documented by debt-collection agencies are:

Volcanic ash from Mount St. Helens clogged our computeroperated check-writing machine.

Our computer is "off line." We're working on it.

The computer lost the accounts payable fileand we didn't knowwhat we owe.

These excuses can be good for up to a week or more, depending upon the speed of the computer repair.

Other more novel alibis includethe man who wrote no checks for six months because he could not find a bookkeeper he could trust with this checkbook. Another delinquent account went so far as to publish an obituary notice in the local paper and send clippings to his creditors.
