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.

Leaders 1 Markets for new homes, amount- ling to an estimated 350,000 dwelling units and $1,500,000.000 M11, billion) in the three Pacific 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 the first two years of peace. Such figures are of course not offered as precise predictions, but a means to visualize the pentup de- mand for new family dwellings. Certainly this will be a gigantic economic force when times arei We lumbermen peaceful again. must prepare for it." V The Home Planners Institute 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 . . . These columns have told how the 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 for the populationp So a former ex- Shelton Boy’s Brother Killed Robert D.

The Nazi- ~—-—._, ._ __——_ Thursday, January 27, 1 3’ rsdgy, J: 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. - w r . .
