story about the mosquitoes around Port Arthur, Texas, where tlre swamps produce extra large ones. A fellow in Port Arthur'u/as awakened one night by the sound of voices, and looking up he saw two big mosquitoes sitting on the foot of his bed, looking at him. One of them said:

"Shall we eat him here, or carry him down to the swamp and eat him?"

The other answered:

"Shucks, let's eat him here. If we carry him down to tte swamp some of those BIG mosquitoes are liable to take him away from us."

Foregt Fire Coordinator Appointed

Washington, July 23-David P. Godwin, assistant chief of the fire control division, U. S. Forest Service, has been appointed national coordinator of the forest fire fighters service, recently established by OCD, James M. Landis, director, announced today.

The forest fire fighters service, Director Landis said, will be one of the basic units of civilian defense and will serve as a part of the national facility security program. The service will be comparable in organizational set-up to the civil air patrol. It will cooperate with the Department of fnterior, Department of Agriculture, state forestry ofiicials and private forest protective organizations, mobilizing the manpower necessary to safeguard timber resources in wartime.

State and local coordinators will be appointed and local working units will be organized in squads of eight to ten forest fire fighters. The emblem of the service will be a pine tree, in red, on the white triangle and blue circle used in all civilian defense insignia.

The volunteer fire fighting units will be trained by fire protection specialists of the various agencies under whom they will operate wherever increased manpower is necessary as a result of the added hazards to timbered areas in wartime.

Mr. Godwin becomes national coordinator after long experience in the field of fire control. He entered the Forest Service in 1908, serving as forest ranger and later, forest supervisor. From 1917 to 1919 he served in France as a Captain with the 10th Regiment of Engineers (Forestry), and the 1st Regiment of Combat Enginpers. He is a graduate of the Army General Staff College and Army school of the line. He returned to the Forestry Service after his army career and several years in private business.

O Arriving constantly at the Douglas Fir Plywood Association's research laboratory are panel sections representative of every member mill's daily production. The complete panels have aheady passed the routine yet critical o<ami':tion of the Asso' ciation'J mill inspectors. But to determine if they rtetture ,.P lally to the high indusuy standards established in cooperation with the National Bureau of Standards, our laboratory stafi cuts the sections into small specimens, carefully numbers them and subjects them to many series of tests. For instance, exteriortype Douglas Fir Ply'wood must withstand soaking, boiling and baking, among other things, without delaminatiog.

These tests assure today's putchasers that the Douglas Fir Ply' wood they buy fot war pnrp.ses will give the performance they exlrct.
