Cooperate With Rubber Conservation Program

(Continued from Page 4) board feet at the end of December; gross stocks, at 971,' 118,000.

Up to December 7 the West Coast lumber industry was experiencing shrinking volume of orders. War changed this trend. with immediate rush demand from the Government for large amounts of lumber for the national offensive. This accounts for the approximately 14O million feet increase in unfilled orders at the end of December, in comparison with the November-end file. Government purchases are yet being made, on delivery that will extend through the first quarter of. 1942.

Accom,panying this increase in Government business was sympathetic action by retail lumber dealers, in December purchases of a considerable volume of lumber.

December production was 13 per cent less than November's. A greater drop had been expected, as West Coast mills customarily close for major repairs near the year' end. The need of the Government for rush lumber ship' ments kept the saws running in all operations but those in which repairs were absolutely necessary.

The \Mestern Pine Association for the week ended January 17,97 mills reporting, gave orders as 92,351,000 feet, shipments 67,575,000 feet, and production 43,161,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 356,583,000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended January 17, lt0 mills reporting, gave orders as 40,573,000 feet, shipments 31,670,000 feet, and production 28,622,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 125,915,000 feet.

Quartermaster ltems Moved to War Cllnic

Samples of Army supply items needed now or soon to be required by the Quartermaster Corps, will be movcd in and set up for display at the "war clinic" by mid-week, Colonel F. J. Riley, Quartermaster Supply Officer of the San Francisco General Depot, Fort Nlason, announced. The Quartermaster Corps booth, 48 by8 feet, is the largest of 60 major exhibits which operators of manufacuring facilities are invited to study at the clinic opening under War Production Board (formerly called OPM) management Monday, February 2, in Drary Lane at the Whitcomb Hotel, entrance on Eighth Street near Market Street, San Francisco.

Leather, textile, sheet metal and wood items are predominant among the Army supplies which the Quartermaster Corps will show industrial men interested in manufacturing to fill military requirements. But these articles being prepared to show when the "war clinic" opens next week may be changed whenever requirements vary.

A Quartermaster Corps officer will be on duty six days each week at the clinic in the Whitcomb Hotel to confer with any manufacturer interested in making any items shown or any other of the approximately 30,000 Army supply items for which the Quartermaster Corps is responsible.

In addition to the clinic booth, the large sample room from the Quartermaster Section at Fort Mason has been moved to the new administration building of the San Francisco General Depot located at the approach of the Bay Bridge in Oakland. The sample room was moved the past week end and is now being set up in a spacious room on the ground floor in the east wing of the new oflrce building in Oakland, after having for the past severai vears been located at Fort Mason in San Francisco.
