Rules of the Forest

The corn is ripe in the valley

And so is the golden grain, The sky is a deep, unclouded blue And there's never a hint of rain. The grasses are russet and yellow, The forests are tinder dry, So remember the rules of the woodlands W'henever you're driving by.

Vacation time is upon us, You're hearing the call of the wild, So you make your camp in the forest, By nature allured and beguiled; Well, be as wild as you want toThrow your hat in the air and shout, But before you leave your sylvan retreat, Be sure that your camp fire's out.

The forester scans the sky line, For a tell tale spiral of smoke, He knou's that unguarded camp fires May the furies of flame provoke; A night or a day of horror And that which was verdant and fair, Will be seen as a blackened ruin, Blasted. lifeless and bare.

Let not your sins of omission Speed the demons of fire on their way, Let not your heedless actions The kingdom of nature betray. The rules of the forest are simple, Be sure that you do. not forget; Bank your fires, break your match, crush the sparks From the stub of your cigarette.

-A. Merriam Conner.

CPA Places Limitations on Manufacturerrj Inventories of Appliance3 and Building Materials

Washington, D. C., July 17.-The Civilian Production Administration took steps yesterday to speed the movement of scarce household appliances and building materials to consumers.

It issued orders prohibiting manufacturers from carrying inventories of their products exceeding a month's output. Compliance not later than Aug. 15 is required.

Twenty-six kinds of products are affected.

Crorby H. Shevlin

Mr. Shevlin has a fine background of experience in the lum- ber business, having been with Shevlin, Carpenter & Clarke of Minneapolis, and associated companies for 27 years. He became plant sales manager at the Shevlin mill at Bend, Oregon in 1926, and in 1931 went to Minneapolis to be vice-president of the Shevlin Pine Sales Co. He returned to Bend in 1943 as assistant manager. He was a partner for one year in Shevlin-Cords Lumber Co., San Francisco.

Sqn Frcrncisco Lurrrbermen's Club

Dave Davis, the club's president, presided at the July 16 luncheon meeting of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club in the Concert Rogm of the Palace Hotel.

Vice President Hugh Handley spoke briefly on the club's part in handling negotiations with the City in connection with proposed changes in the San Francisco building code.

Jack Shaw, of the sportcaster division of the Tidewater Associated Oil Co., told members some of the things that contribute to the successful broadcasting of a football or basketball game. Good advice to the announcer, he said, is to "be yourself," and to "put the listener in the stadium."

The speaker was introduced by Dick Mussallem, Dicknson's Lumber Co., San Francisco.

Bcck From Wcrshingilon

Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redrv'ood Association, San Francisco, returned July 16 from spending three months in Washington, D. C., on business of the association.

"What we are after is to see that scarce materials go to the manufacturer whose finished products go immediately to the consumer, rather than to those who plan to withhold manufactured products awaiting possible price increases," John D. Small, head of CPA, declared. I

Henceforth, a producers' inventory rvill be limited to a month's production of the following items:

Wood and metal furniture, domestic laundry equipment, domestic mechanical refrigerators, miscellaneous electrical appliances, photographic equipment, electric ranges, domestic sewing machines, domestic vacuum cleaners, metal beds, innerspring mattresses, felt mattresses, box springs, coil, flat and fabric springs, dual sleeping equipment, building board, asphalt and tarred roofing products, galvanized ware, gypsum board, gypsum lath, metal windows, cast iron soil pipe, and insect screen cloth.

In determining the size of inventory of finished products permitted at any time under this rule, the manufacturer may use either the amount he produced in the preceding 30 days or his average montfly output in the preceding three months. For building board, made from wood pulp, vegetable fibres, pressed paper stock, or multiple plies of fibred stock, the limitation applies to the producer's total inventory rather than to individual items.

In placing this restriction on inventories of finished goods, CPA also placed new restrictions on receipts of raw materials. Contractors and processors are forbidden to accumulate for 30 days' operation: Building board, metal plastering base, cast iron soil pipe, insect screen cloth, and all metallic zinc, including zinc diecast alloy. Inventories of butyl acetate and butyl alcohol (normal) may not exceed a 45-day supply.

Army and Navy to Release 1210001000 Poundc of Nails

Approximately 12,000,000 pounds of nails will be made available by the army and navy for the veterans emergency housing program within 30 days, the National Housing,Agency notified W. Conrad McKelvey, its Los Angeles representative on July 1'6.

Both Secretary of War Patterson and Acting Secretary of the Navy Sullivan have agreed to release 6,000,000 pounds from their active reserve stocks, in addition to an equal amount from army and'navy surplus stocks, it was announced jointly by Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt and War Assets Administrator Lt. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory.

Since about 400 pounds of nails are required for a sixroom house, Mr. McKelvey said, the army and navy supplies are the equivalent of the requirement for about 30,000 houses.

More than half of the critically needed nails to be released are immediately available at navy, marine corps, and naval shipyards throughout the country. The balance is located at army supply depots.

Mr. McKelvey said the nails will go partly into the completion of temporary housing for veterans at colleges and in congested areas, and partly to HH priority holders through regional offices of the War Assets Administration.

NHA Earmcrks $8.5 Mittion for Timber Rocd Corrstruction

Washington, J:uly 17.-The National Housing Agency announced yesterday that an additional $8.5 million has been allotted to the Secretary of Agriculture for the construction of roads to remote Government timber lands.

These new roads should add from 90 to 100 million board feet of lumber to the 1946 production and from 500 to 600 million board feet in 1947, NHA said.

The new allocation brings to $10.5 million the amount set aside for construction of access roads to standing timber in national forests. To date, the former $2 million allocated for road building is being used in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho and Montana. The $8.5 million will be u5ed in this same area as well as timber lands in the Southeast, the Lake states and New England.

When father got a haircut, (I recall it with a thrifl) The barber also shaved him, And a quarter paid the bill; And as the barber labored, (The memory haunts me Yet) My father scanned the damsels In the old Police Gazette. Now haircuts cost a dollar, A shave four bits, and yet, The barber shops no longer serveThe old Police Gazette.

-Fred Myers.

Every .time I pay a dollar for a haircut (without even the Police Gazette thrown in), I just look the other way when the barber in handing me the bill, holds out his hand turned palm up. I may be a little tight, but I can't help figuring that when I pay a dollar for a haircut I have paid and tipped both.

I heard a friend say that paying a dollar for a haircu,t and then tipping the barber is like buying a black market car at a thousand over the ceiling price, and then tipping the salesman.

Interesting how often some phrase uttered long ago by that maker of wise phrases, Thomas Jefferson, fits the situ' ation of today. Surely he must have been the seventh son of a seventh son, the way he could look ahead at the America he did so much to create. *

Every time I see a bread-line of late (and I see them every day), I recall the following Jeffersonianism: "Were we directed from.Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread." We HAVE been so directed, and we DO want bread.* * *

And so with practically everything else. Washington directed us how we should produce and how we should distribute, and what we should charge. And now look ! As God is my judge, I believe we would be a thousand times better off if every single governmental bureau were to terrninate as of this minute-without notice. And so we would a thousand thousand times. The three departments of government provided in the Constitution are all we need for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ***

It is said that the only war in history between the white race and any other race that the white race lost, was the Jap-Russian war in 1905.

Heard an argument the other day about American casualties in World War I. My understanding is that the U. S. Army lost 318,135 men, and the total Navy and Marine casualties were 18,332.

"In vain we call old notio fudge, And bend our to our dealing; The ten will not budge, And stealing will {< inue stealing."

I thought of the above the other day while reading some of the front page stuff about the investigation of crooked war profits. When they bust that sack wide open you will see rising toward the skies, a cloud of filth that will make the atom-bomb cloud over Bikini look like a miniature by comparison. And, Oh, what a stench there will be, my countr5rmen !
