Speaking of the type of natives
of the Solomons he referred to
them as below American size, due
to limited diet, black and bushy
haired, and not attractive in ap-
pearance or close contact; in fact
the women were not the Samoan
type seen on the screen and our
women at home need have no fear
of losing their men. The natives
are peaceful and only want to be
left alone, but they are friendly
and helpful and proving good al- '
lies in the arduous fighting. As
for our boys, they have seen all
of the Solomons they wish and
only desire to end the war quickly
and come home to God's country
to stay, but they are “sore” on
strikes.

Coast states alone, will be greater
in the two years following the
war than in any other period of
American history, according to in-
dustry leaders who are on the
program of the Annual Meeting
of the West Coast Lumbermen’s
Association at the Multnomah Ho—
tel, Portland, Friday, January 28. ‘
The theme of the meeting, an—
nounced as, “While we are finish—
ing the war, how can we best
plan to fit lumber into post-war
reconstruction and employment“
will be discussed by Orville R.
Miller, Association president,
Charles L. Wheeler, president of
International Rotary, and Char-
les Snellstrom, chairman of the
WCLA Trade Extension Commit-
tee.
“The association has made a
composite of authoritative na-
tional surveys on the postwar mar- i
ket for homes, and has broken it]
down by regions and states,” Mr.
Snellstrom said in Portland today.
“This yields a home building fig-
i ire for Oregon and Washington of
95,000 units and $430,000,000

figures are of course not offered
as precise predictions, but a

mand for new family dwellings.

program, first tried in Portland,
is being carried by the West Coast
Lumbermen’s Association to the
normal consuming regions for
West Coast lumber, the trade ex-
tension head said. The program
willbe ,fully explained during-the
morning session of the annual
meeting. It provides a pattern for
the getting together of local build-
‘ing interests in any community,
lto arrange a course of 24 lec-
tures, each on a special phase of
the home. Registrants for the
course are sought through an ad—
vertising campaign. Promotion of
war bonds is basic. Preparation
for the return of service men to
local employment and business is
'a'vital part of the program.
“Every new home .will mean a
new market for practically every
kind ,of local business in any 10-
;cality,“ Snellstrom pointed out.
-“So we ,lumbermen think of our
,program as postwar planning at
the grassroots—of the people, by
the people, for the people.”
The United States is finding
that the establishment of perm-
anent forest enterprises where
forest land are intermingled,
should go hand in hand with a
permanent agricultural develop—
‘ment.
Trees and Booze . . .
One of the oldest themes for Paul
Bunyan stories is on springs,
streams and lakes of alcoholic con-
tent. One tale I dug up in Michi-
gan, from an ancient “Canayen”
jack by the name of John Rabiot,
was of a large forest of pines which
in' i
l
l drillin’ for oil.”
I ‘ I’ve been wondering about that
I bit of Bunyan history recently, after
, hearing of the new plant at Thor-
old, Ontario, for making ethyl al-
ran alcoholic sap in their growing
season. The troubles Paul Bunyan
had in logging that timber with his
gang of lusty and thirsty jacks had
been the subject of countless shanty
camp tales. The climax’was when
Babe the Blue Ox ate acres of the
alcoholic pines, and then knocked
out every man and beast for miles
around with the strength of his
breath. Only Paul Bunyan was im—
mune. Paul tore into the boozy
p in e s, uprooted every 0 n e, and
wrung them all into t 0 t a 11y dry
crumbs and shreds of wood.
“That was how the pulp industry
was started in Quebec,” stated John
Rabiot. “Ever since loggers have
been lookin’ for lake made by Paul
Bunyan when he wrung alcohol sap
out of boozy pines. I t’ink he cover
de lake wit’ a~mountain. Mebbe it
be foun’ some tam w’hen dey are
cohol (the kindryou drink, if you
drink) out of excess sulphite liquor
from pulp mills. Maybe that’s the
truth, and maybe not. Might be the
real military secret is that the Can-
adian government has at last found
and tapped the buried lake of sap
that Paul Bunyan wrung out of the
forest of alcoholic pines.
Use for Excess Wood . . .

pressures of war in European forest
countries have forced new forest
woodpile is more vital to Hitler and
his hordes than metals and farm
crops. There is not an excess, but
a shortage, of wood in German for-
ests. Sweden has not only kept but
increased her strength by feeding
on the forest—wood proteins are
made into digestible c a t t l e food,
yielding a plenty of dairy products

cess of wood in Swedish forests is
now utilized.
Now our American granaries are
emptying. War production authori-
ties have turned to the West Coast
forests for sources of alcohol from
which, first of all, synthetic rubber
may be made, and then many more
vital materials of war. Production
plants are in the making. Their raw
material will be what is now mis-
called “waste” in forest and mill. A
truer term is “excess wood"——wood
of kinds and qualities for which
there have been no markets, even
in war.
“Excess” ty p e s of timber, nor-
mally left in the woods for lack of
markets, and excess liquor from
sulphite pulp mills, may now be
utilized through the urgent needs of
war. A new forest industry is born.
We can develop it into a giant of
the years of peace. It is up to us,
the people of the woods.
The Land Is Bright . . .
You have onlyto look through
the advertising pages of the na-
tional magazines to foresee how
many products of the rubber and
plastic industries will have mass
markets after the war. Most of them
may be made from the excess ma— 7
terial of the industrial forest for
which there has been no market
before. Utilization will require new
plants, and these in turn will re—
quire new capital'investment. Real-
ization of the new promise that is
bright over the forest land of the
Wést Coast thus depends upon the
traditional process of free private
enterprise. .
A forest industry company has in—
vested its own money in the new
Ontario war plant for making alco-
hol out of excess sulphite liquor.
The new plants projected for the
West Coast will also be financed by
private capital. Only the promise of
continuing markets after the war
justifies such investments, from’ a
strict view of business.
Here’s looking forward to the day
when every timber town of Oregon
and Washington will “smell like a
distillery.” All, of course, for the
ultimate ‘use of making rubber and
the like, and never for sinful hu-
man indulgence. -
