to the gravc. Truly, at Brann wrotc, THEY atc thc great herocs, the great martyrr, of war; of the world.
The above ir by Wnr. :";0., Brann, famour \llfaco, Texar, writer of long ago. The other day when I watched the face of a mother, telling her only boy goodby as he went away to war, I thought of that wonderful remark. War any greetcr appreciation of mothers ever written or
In the February 10 issue j'Theof "Collier's" magazine, will be found an article titlcd Red Czar Mover to Conquer Ur." The writer is Governor Thomag E. Dcwey, of New York State. If you would read the most terrific, the rnost compreheneive description of our statur quo (which the colored brothcr said meant "de helluva mess in which we
t*
uttered? rl*
So I went and looked in that writing of Brann'g from which this top line was taken, and it belonga in every scrapbook; espccially right today when the "mothers of mcn" arc again-so vcry soon after the last bitter conflict --+eeing their boys marched away to fight for the right.
+*
' Brann wrote: "HEROES? Why unurn the ashes of the half-forgotten dead, and pore o'er the musty pages of the past for names to glorify? If you would find heroes grander, martyrs more noble, and saints of more sanctity than Rubens ever painted or immortal Homer sang; who, without Achilles armor have elain an hundred Hectors; without Samsonian locks have torn the lion; without the sword of Michael have thrown the gage to the embattled hosts of hell not in the musty tomes of history, - seek but in the hearts of the self-sacrificing MOTHERS of this great world. God could not be everywhere+o He made MOTHERS." *ri
Brann had it right. Certainly the heroes of this and every other war in history, are the mothers whose boys go out to face the great sacrifice. About the time Hitler was ready to launch his horrible war machine against Europe, he was haranguing in his mad-voiced and hysterical style a great gathering of Germans in a public place in Berlin, and he shouted, "I will win this war against my enemies !" And from somewhere in the midst of that mob a mother
sslsarngd-"WlTH WHOSE SONS?"
No, it isn't those fighting bolrs with their fighting hearts and their laughing lips, facing the grisly thing called war, who are the first-line heroes of war; it is the women; the mothers and wives who suffer most, from beginning to end. There is in the hearts of noble youths a certain element that carries them to the "jaws of death" without too much despair. But in the hearts of the mothers who sit and wait, there is ogly ashes. When a soldier dies, he dies but once, so far as he is concerned. Many thousands of grand American boys have taken that glory route in the past few months in Korea. But in the hearts of the mothers of those boys, the sadness and despair lingers on, even

the gift of thought, and the gift of traneplanting his thoughts into compact and undergtandable words and phrases. He weare no gloves in dcscribing our world position today. He rolls up the political history of the past five years into a compact story that is terrific in its impact on your Eensee as you read. He describes Russia, its history of the past 35 year6, its present situation and its present ambitions as nobody else has even attemptbd to do. You may disagree with some of his opinions, but you will honor his powerful thinking, and his patriotic conclusions
**
He particularly discusses the Asiatic situation today, the horrible blunders in China that have turned 450,000,000 people over to the Communists, and ended with our small army in Korea having to face, fight, and die at the hands of huge Chinese armies. He blames Korea, with all its fatalities, on our blundering statesmanship. And he describes in detail the situation in which we find ourselves in trying hurriedly to arm against Communist aggression, the vital materials of which we are short, the entire physical facts as he arrays them. He favors tremendous preparations for defense, sending soldiers abroad where they are needed, and making a total effort to save ourselves, and save civilization as we know it. I believe every reader of that article will be greatly benefited. There is a very interestinl .rld urr.,".r"t nurn representing Lebanon in the United Nations, whose name is Charles Habib Malik. He is a Christian, and has been a very successful teacher of philosophy in the Far East. fn the current issue of "The Christian Century," there is an article from the pen of this man from Lebanon, that makes great reading. The subject is Russia. In one paragraph of that article, he furnishes mental fodder for those who seek such material on that formidable subject. That paragraph

We all rcalize now-with horror-that Marx and Engels werc prophets. For, as this Eartern writer sayr, thc thingr thcy stated in their opening Manifcsto a hundred years ago, are completely true now. Certainly the spccter of Communism hangs over Europe, and all the rest of the world, today. It seemed only boastful bragging at the time the statement was published.
mctlurc!, in the namc of dcfenrc and as part of a'netional rurvival' budgct, comc! er tomewhat of a shock. It recalls joltingly Rcpublican Houre Lcedcr Martin's rccent cherge that thc Truman adminirtration ir taking advantagc of thc nationd crirlr to advancc rocialirtic plane in the United Stater. In order to kccp the stupendou! prcparedneu program on a pay-as-you-go baeir, Mr. Truman propolc! new levier that would take between 30 and 50 per ccnt of the earninga of American workerr. He har called upon the people to prepare for great sacrifices and an indefinite period of austcrity. He har said that we mutt be 'taxed until it hurts'-although Mr. Truman himsclf will feel littlc pain, with hie $100,000 salary plue a $50,000 tax'free expenrc allowance and $,$0,000 more for travcling €xpcnse and entertainment. Yet. in the face of all this, Mr. Truman askcd Congresg for'Fair Dcal' measurcs which would cost the taxpayere billions of dollars.+uch as thc discredited Brannan Farm Price Plan, socialized medicine, and other big-spending approachcs to the more abundant life."
A few daye ago Charles l. l"r*, National Commander of The Vetcrane of Foreign Wars, made a speech to a ri* distinguished gathering of civic leadere, military leadcrs, and veterans, in Los Angeles. He brought his listeners to Yes, aB the Houeton editor states, in spite of all we hear their feet when he demanded that we do to the 55,000 about our present vital emergency situation, many things Communists in this country today what we did to the local
Japs at the beginning of World War Two; lock them up. He stated that according to FBI records there are that many Commies running loose in this country now, and hc denied thcir right to run free in this nation in times like these. Also, he thought that the Fellow Travelers who give aid and comfort to the Commies should be locked uP also'

"Let us not forget for one moment," said Ralls, "that we are in a shooting war with Russia and that World War Three started with the firing of the first shot in Korea after Russia sent North Koreans into South Korea and then sent the Chinese Communists to fight the U.N. forces in Korea." Another remark he made was that "we should forget who is going to be a Presidential or Congressional candidate in 1952 and mobilize to protect the democracy that allows uS to hold free elections." He thought that politics are governing our handling of the present emergenc''
go on as usual. Politics go on as usual; strikes that put our defense effort in jeopardy go on as usual; non-military expenses keep increasing; the federal payroll bulges faster than ever; Fair Deal give-away plans are shoved to the foreground; Communiste continue their digging from within to destroy our libcrties; Senator Byrd's efforts to cut federal spending go on as usual, and as usual, are ignored by the spenders. Does anybody want to cut expenses in any way, or is anyone doing anything toward that end? It seems not. Things are just going on as usual, in spite of ' the fact that according to our best thinkers we are in a hell of a jam. fre used to be an unusual people, but no more; we just go on as usual.

No business, large or small, can long exist without customers. No matter how intangible this factor may be, it is the most essential asset that any company may possess. Of what value would be the largest and finest equipped mill and production facilities, with-
out lumber dealers and users to take its products and output ? Therefore, it is our customers' needs that determine what we produce from the logs we
cut. It is on this basis that we establish and project our production schedules. If, at times, we are unable to meet specific requiremenis as they arise, it is because we are geared to supply the constant and steady demand for certain items, which must meet highest standards of uniform quality, from logs to finished lumber. As customer requirements indicate a change, we adjust our production pattern to keep constantly in line with the trend of our customers' needs.

floors and still not wear
it out ?
Out in Portland, Oregon, West Coast lumbermen are searching for the answer. They may have a long tinre to wait. I{omes built 100 years ago still have the original I)ouglas fir floor. So a search was made for the public building with a fir floor which had stood the most wear and abuse. In their search lumbermen arrived at the world'g biggest log cabin-Portland's last remaining building from the 1905 Lewis and Clark,Centenial Exposition-early in January, 1951 just as Caretaker C. W. Oliphant was welcoming the 7,000,000th visitor to this fabled old structure. Whhen Eloise Price, Portland lumber lass, walked the length of this 206 foot long log structure in January she followed in the footsteps of seven million other people who have walked over this very same vertical grain Douglas fir floor in the last 46 years. The vast log-walled structure was the wonder of Portland's 1905 world's fair. The fir flooring covers the entire area 206 feet wide by 102 feet wide. Six-foot giant Douglas fir logs reached up 72 feet in the air to support the roof structure,
More than 2,4(fi,m people walked through this wonder exhibit building of forest products in the year of the fair in 1905. In the 45 years since that date the City of Portland has maintained tl.re vast building as a public museum. In every year since the fair at least 100,000 people have visited the Log Cabin, more than any other scenic spot in Oregon.
West Coast lumbermen believe the mighty log cabin, almost as sound as the day it was built, is proof of the durability of wood. The Douglas fir floor, which has felt the footsteps of 7,000,000 people, great and small, and shows little if anj' wear, has won the nomination as grand champion of its class.

'Rithratic Bugs' During the First World War one of the problems of our soldiers in France was fighting off the "cooties," as they called them in those days. One'day a dusky son of Alabama sat in a trench, his shirt and undershirt in his hand, while he searched the garments for his tiny tormentors. An officer passing by noticed his efforts and asked him vi'hat he was searching his clothes for.

The NLMA executive committee concurred with the advisors' rec_ ommendations concerning proposed changes in the forest prod_ ucts industries government organization and made specific rec_ omrnendations of lumber industry personnel to fill <lefense
agency top posts.
During their deliberations the lumberrnen reviewecl recom_ mendations concerning lumber procurement systems now in use by the Munitions Board and the Army Engineers Corps. The group formulated definite recommendations for changes in the current procurement systern and agreed to submit their recomended proposals to the concerned government officials. In addition to the foregoing, the executive committee heard reports of lumber industry recommendations on defense prob_ lems with particular reference to procurement procedures, lumber specifications, regulatory measures, manpower controls, priorities, stockpiling, credit restrictions and construction limitations.

Dcfengc Houring Nccdr Crn Bcrt Bc Mct By Relcring Crcdit Rcgnrlrtion X in Critical Arcu, Sryr Northup
l!', i ii,
Washington, D. C., lan.24t-Defense housing needs can best be met at this time by relaxing Credit Regulation X in critical areas, without waiting for Congress to act on the proposed $3 billion housing bill (S.349) on which hearings now are being held, H. R. Northup, executive vice president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated. "The objectives can be accomplished largely, if not wholly,
by administrative changes relaxing Regulation X wherc necessary in selected areas," Mr. Northup said. "Foltowing this procedure would enable Congress to withhold further action until more is known about the locations where defense housing will be needed and how many units will be required. That there is no immediate need for this legisla-
tion was indicated by Housing Administrator Foley, who described it bs a standby measure in his staternent before the Senate Banking Committee. "Defense housing can be started much quicker by administrative changes in the credit regulation, because the regulation is well understood in the building industry, whereas considerabte time would be required to interpret the new legislation and get it under way. "Approval of a $3 billion measure at this time, in view of the absence of information about the actual need, would encourage over-building and unnecessary building and thus would add to the inflationary pressure. When government agencies receive
largc blank-check authorizations ihere always is the tendency to spend as much as possibte, and a good deal of defense housing might be built that was not actually needed, thus taking scarce materials and labor away from housing urgently needed elsewherc.
"The bitl would in no way add to the supply of materials
available for housing or for other purposes and thus would in no way increase the amount of defense housing that could be
built.
"In view of the critical state of the federal budget and the urgent need for elimination of unnecessary government expenditures and for preventing further inflation, it is distinctly unsound to authorize this large program before the need can be evaluated. "Instead of encouraging construction of a great quantity of new defense housing, the aim should be to award defense contracts wherever possible at points where factories and housing already exist. This policy would save valuable tirne as well as money and materials."

tapla Certification of 82,501 acrce of Long-Bell lands to the growing of trees under the tree farm program of the Conservation Committee of Pacific Northwest Forest Industries was announced early in December. The Long-Bell lands are located in the Ryderwood and Grand Ronde holdir4s'of the company. The two farrns will be known as the l.ong-Bell Tree Farms and appropriate signs will be erected in the near future designating the areas. In the Ryderwood area 65,702 acres have been designated as the tree farm area and 16,89 acres of the Grand Ronde tract in Oregon. "\A'e are nrore than happy to welcome the pioneer Lorrg-Bell
Long-Bell Dedicateg
82,501 Acreg
To Trce Farming Projcct Lumber Conrpany into the growing ranks of tree farm supporters," said Ii. P. Stamm, chairman of the aonservation grouP.
Under the 'I'ree Farrrr program, Long-Ilell diverts the lands in the designated areas to the continuous growth of trees that will in later years furnish the raw material for forest products. This program has been carried on for a number of years by the company, but the certification of the lands has just been oompleted.
Long-Bell was the pioneer tree farmer of the lumber indus-
try. As early as 1923, Long-Bell recognized "Timber Is A Crop," and prornoted the use of the slogan in advertising and in an early riotion picture. Nurseries were established in Louisiana, California and Washington to grow seedlings for the transplanting to cut over and burned areas. Many plots of ground,were set aside for experimental use in the growing of trees. Since that time lurnber associations and states have established them in other sections of the country. Years of experience have also taught foresters that mother nature does the best job of tree planting. Seeds carried from growing stands by the winds cover many acres with seeds that take root and start to grow. The seed that is tucked into the
duff by mother nature this winter will start growing next spring and will attain a height of approximately two inches in its first vear.
Gron'th after the first year is more rapid and under normal conditions a seedling will grow 12 inches a year for the first 6ve years and then growth will increase to 18 to 24 inches a year. Tree crcps are like any other crops with the season and soil content being large factors in the growth rate. The lands certified for [,ong-Bel[ Tree Farms are some of the most adaptable to growing trees on the Pacific coast. Growing proof of l-ong-Bell's long-time belief in the growing of the second crop is evidenced at the Ryderwood tree farm. There in the mid-twenties a nursery was established and maintained to grow seedlings for planting, but a fire, a few years after it was established, wiped it out and the nursery was not restored. From the nursery came thousands of seedlings that were planted in the Ryderwood area and are now growing in rows over the hills at a height of 30 to 35 feet. Forest fires have also taken toll of manv acres of hand planted trees, but where the areas have escaped fire, the trees continue to grow. An interesting bit of experimentation took place in the twenties between Long-Bell foresters and the United States Forest Service. The problem of planting was new and many various aspects of tree planting were being considered. Long-Bell foresters and Forest Service men were trying to find a way to plant seeds and simulate the job of mother nature, so they turned to kites-use of airplane was not thought of at the time. At Pearson field in Vancouver, Washington, the men placed a quantity of seeds in a box kite. As the kite went into the air, seeds were released at various elevations to drop on sheets of canvas located at varying distances on the field. The result of the experiment showed the winds carrying large quantities of seeds over areas that were a revelation to the foresters. The idea was not put into practical use. The railroad grades of the Ryderwood operation have been converted to fire roads to give fast transportation for fire prevention and suppression to the tree farm. The tree farm will be cared for much as a farmer cares for a crop of wheat with the harvest taking years instead of months. Tree growth is continually taking place on the tree farms. Nature has planted the areas and the hills are covered with new growth that will provide material for wood products 60 to 70 years in the future. Poles and posts will come from the tree farrns in 35 to 40 years as the trees are thinned to make room for other trees to reach saw log status. Several sections of the two areas are growing a second crop nolr' between 50 and 60 years old.

George Wcshingrton Scid: "Nothing is morc eccential than that pcrmanent' inveteratc antipaahier againrt particular nations and parrionate ettachmcnts for cithers, should be excluded, and that, in place of them, just and amicablc feelingr toward all rhould Le cultivated. The nation which indulgcs toward anothcr a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness, is in somc degrec a rlave. It is a slave to its own animosities or to ite affectiong, either of which is sufficient to lead it aetray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against anothir disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay troia of slight cauEes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractible whcn accidental or trifling occasions of dis' pute occur. Hence frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, bloody conteets."
Memories What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain Under my head til morning; but the rain Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh, Upon my glass ,and listen for rePlY; And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain For unremembered lads that not again Will turn to me at midnight with a cry. ' Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree, Nor knows what birds have vanished, one by one, Yet knows its boughs more silent than before; I cannot say what loves have come and gone; I only know that summer sang in me A little while, that sings in me no more. St. Vincent MillaY.

Ccnnibcrlistic The cannibal king called in his chef, and demanded know what was being prepared for his lunch. "Two old maids," replied the chef. "IJgh!" said the king, disgustedly. "Leftovers again!"
OPPortunitY A curve in the road, and a hillside' Clear cut against the skY, A tall tree tossed by the autumn wind, And a white cloud riding high; Ten men went along that road, And all but one passed bY, He saw the hill, the tree, the cloud, With artist's mind and eYe, And he put them down on a canvas, For the other nine to buY.
A Becrl Mcn A real man ie onc who is clean inside and out i who
neither looks up to thc rich, nor down to the poor; who can
lore without rqucaling or win without bragging; who is too brave to lie, too gcnerous to cheat; who taker hia share of the world and letg other folkr have theire.
Lcrge Bills "\l[/e are living in a time," said Philosophical Phil, "when a two hundred dollar biU is nothing unugual; a two hundred dollar grocery bill, that is."
Socicrl Climbers Ign't a social climber I funny insect? Think of a grown man who pulls wires, gets appointed to committees, ioins a fashionable church, and does other things in hope of attracting the attention of those more socially prominent than he. I am not arguing that a man should not "leave his low-vaulted past" and aspire to move with finer and better men and women' but I do argue that the friendship of those finer men and women should come to him as a by-product. Those gifis should come by indirection' The man who does good work for the sake of publicity is a fake and a charlatan. The service rendered should be the goal, not the publicity that is won by that service. A man should rise in society as cream rises in milk, not as a monkey climbs a stick.-Thomas Dreier.
A Misunderstanding The traveling salesman found himself far out in the coun-
try. It was bed time and he was very tired, so when he
came to a farm house he stopped and asked the farmer if he
could furnish him a place to sleep. The farmer said he had no spare rooms, but if the stranger wanted to go up and sleep with the redheaded school teacher, he could do so. The salesman said, "Sir, I would have you know that I am a gentleman." "That will be okay," said the farmer. "So is the redheaded school teacher."
Old Songs Oh, sing to me the good old songs, I still so love to hear, Though they are now so seldom sung, To memory they are dear. They seem to tell of joYs long Past, Of friends we'll see no more' Oh, sing to me those good old songs, The grand old songs of Yore. King.

Analyrir o[ Strtur of Rctril Lunbcr Dcdcrc undcr Frir Labor'Strndardr (Wage-Hour) Act u Amsndcd in t949 A detailecl analysis of the status of retail lumber dealers under the Fair Labor Standards (Wage-Hour) ^{ct as amended in 1949 has been prepared by the attorneys and staft of the
National Retail Lurnber l)ealers Association. With regard to the retail exemption, the 36page boolclet expresses the opinion that: "As a general rule turtlber dealers who were exempt under the former law ancl adurinistrative rulings will continue to be exempt under the new anrendments' "Dealers who dicl ttot formerly qualify'for exemption ma)' or may not be exerllPt, depending on the type of sales which previously prevented their exemption. "Most dealers, therefore, rvill wish to revierv their status at the present time, b<lth because the amendments clear up some pr"u1ou, uncertainties ancl because there are certain definite

"If there is some doubt as to your status, we believe you
will find it worthwhile to study the more detailed discussion which follows.
"Particular attention has been devoted to the exemption
problems confronting the so-called borderline dealers, i'e', those who are somewhat uncertain as to their status' The discussion of these problems, including the two appendices, should
be of assistance to dealers and their attorneys in determining their future course of action." The booklet then proceeds to reprint the statutory provisions of the amended act. It also contains a check list to aid dealers in classiiying their sales and presents definitions of important
ter., found in the act, such as "Annual dollar volume of sales," "Within the state," "Retail sales," and "Wholesale sales."
It then discusses the efiect of processing or fabrication on
the retail exemption and answers a number of miscellaneous questions and problems which arise under the act'

Curbs on Aluminum and Rubber \\'ashington, F-eb. 3-The government today llanned use of aluminttur after April 1 in more than 200 civilian products.
At the same titrre, it prohibited, effective March l, use
()f rratural rubber for "nonessential" civilian items like shoe soles, and bath mats' Thc rubber order also covered tire inner tubes of 8fu-inch
cr()ss-section or smaller. Most automobile inner tttbes are in this size range. These rubber items will not, however, disappear frorn the civilian market because in most instances synthetic rubber
can substitute for natural in their manufacture.
The National Production Authority said the tu'o orders are essential to insure enough supplies of aluminum and rulllrer to tneet increased defense needs. The aluminum order also directed that prodttcers and iabricators of the metal must divert a bigger share of their {acilities to handling defense orders. An-rong aluminum items banned on ancl after -\pril I are ash trays, cocktail shakers, bicycles, cigaret lighters, hair curlers, jewelry, residential rooming, Venetian blinds, storm n'indou's and toys.

Mrhogany Atrociction, Inc. Holdr Annud Mccting The Mahogahy Association, Inc. held its annual meeting and annual direcbors' meeting at the Blackstone Hotel' Chicago, on January 25. The following officers were re-elected: Ichabod T. Williams, Ichabod T. Williams & Son, New York, president; Harry A. Freiberg, Jr., Freiberg Mahogany
Co., New Orleans, vice president; Robert P. Thompson' Thompson Mahogany Co., Philadelphia, treasurer; George N'
[-amb, Chicago, secretary-manager. The Trade Promotion Committee reported a substantial increase in the use of the official Mahogany Association labels and tags by manufacturers of furniture, television and other products. The distribution of the color sound film Mahogany . . . Wooa of the ages, showed a satisfactory gain' The 30 minute version brought out in 1950 especially for telecasting added greatly to its use in this field. The directors approved a new edition (8th) of The Mahogany Book and a reprinting of the booklet Facts That Sell Mahogany.
Department of Commerce import figures for the first ten months of 1950 indicate that the year's imports will rank between 1947 and 1948 as the three highest importing years in the last half century. Part of this demand was due to a deficit in the 1949 imports caused by unfavorable weather conditions
in the tropics, but principally due to greatly increased demand
for mahogany for television cabinets.
As with many other industries, there were so rnany "ifs" in the immediate as well as in the more distant future that no prediction could be made as to demand or probable imports in 1951. The greatest unknown factor appears to be the extent and the rapidity of the development of war-ttse demands for mahogany.

Construction Activity in January Washington, D. C., Feb. 3-Construction activity in January was one-fifth higher than a year ago, the Building Materiais Division, U. S. Department of Commerce and the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported jointly. The total value of new construction put in place amounted to nearly $2.1 billion, after a seasonal decline of 7 per cent from the De_
cember 1950 total. A speeding-up of industrial plant expansion, particularly by the Federal Government, was beginning to be evident. Military
and naval construction, though still at a relatively low level in January, was up to three times the year-ago rate. Com_ mercial building was 54 per cent above January 1950. Privately-financed construction put in place during January was valued at more than $1,500 million, 7 per cent less than in December 1950 and 2l per cent above a year ago. New home_ building which continued at record levels for this season of the year, accounted for more than one-half of total private outlays for new construction. Public expenditures for new construction during January amounted to about $500 million, 8 per cent less than in De_ cember 1950. They were 22 per cent above the level of Janu_ ary last year, primarily as a result of larger outlays for scirools,
highways, and military facilities.

production Men Revicw Plyrood Quality lmprovementr Sorne 150 plywood production men have just concluded a series of four round-table forurns arranged in conjunction with
the manufacturers' continuing Program to bring the buyer of fir plywood a product of consistently high performance ihe quality clinics, devoted to reports and discussions ainred at making still further improvements in today's production techniques, were organized by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, the trade anel promotional group for the 61-factory fir plywoocl industry of the Pacific Northwest. ThL meetings, similar to others that have been held periodically in the past, are one phase of the industry's overall program to market plywood of a high standard with a waterproof bond in the exterior type and a highly durable, moisture-resistant boncl in interior type plywood' Mill speakers outlined new quality control rnethods their mills are using to assure the buyer that the product measures up to the rigid standards for durability and strength prescribed
by the industry. The association side of the quality mainten"rr.. program, which includes industry-wide testing and research to supplement the efiorts of individual mills, was discussecl by several members of the association's technical department. They described new testing procedures and reviewed the accomplishments of the last few years in the industry's continuing efiorts to increase the strength, durability and all-around usefulness of plywood - America's busiest building material.
search ancl testing is aimed at the uttirnate user of this allpurpose'building material. "lt is for your protection and for the customer's protection," he said. "We must all bear in mind that it is the customer who pays the bills. If he isn't satisfied, he won't buy plywood' Thur, continuing quality maintenance program is one of the
"
rnost vital factors in the marketing picture."
Allied Producte 'fhe place of plastic overlaid panels and other specialty
products in the industry was briefly reviewed by John Ritchie' iirector of the association's allied products division. Ritchie said it is now apparent that the fir ptywood industry is definitely committed to the expancling production of speciplties which are important in waste utilization and which meet the requirements ]or premium quality panels or panels for special applications.
The clinics were held at Tacoma, Wash'; Eugene, Ore'; Portland, Ore.; and Eureka, Cal. Other members of the association's technical department who supplemented Perkins' remarks included Robert Ripley, chief of the quality mainte'nance
section and Art Larsen, chief supervisor'

The Rig Valley Federal Sustained Yield Unit' on Modoc National Forest, was one of two such units established in the U.
