Up in Canada thousands of ex— perienced loggers are in the Army. It was announced they would be furloughed for work in the woods, upon individual application. Only a dozen applied. Men stick to that uniform, once in it. The Case of Ben Gerske .2; There’s a name familiar to many of the woods and mills, in both pine and fir. Ben Gerske is stationed on some island in the South Seas war zone as a man of the fighting “Sea- bees”—the Navy’s construction bat- talions. He writes graphically of his experiences in a letter to the news- paper of his old union. It- is an ex- pression of highest fighting morale, though a simple account of the lit- tle things of every day—the weather, the scenery, washing clothes, ex- periences with “mosquitoes and les- ser beasts,” and such-like. You have to go between the lines to get a grip on the dangers and hardships. There are thousands more of Ben Gerske’s breed in our fighting forces all over the world, our men of the woods, loggers in uniform. Some will never see the green peaks and built up in the civilian war worker. i One thing on this is sure—we need I more letters, more bommunication, I between men in uniform like Ben Gerske and the war workers in the I woods. His letter concludes: 1 l “By the way, I see a lot of famil- iar trademarks on the lumber we use. The other day we had a whole batch of Shevlin pine. Believe it or not, it almost made me homesick.

An expired stamp may be “dead” to the housewife but it is very much alive in trade chan- nels and ‘is potential for black market transactions. Foods bought at wholesale with these stamps can be sold without points and probably at illegally high prices. It is reported that some gro- cers haveboxes with signs read- ing, “Leave your unused stamps here so they may be turned in to OPA.” This is illegal. ., JEFFERS REPORTS “It cannot be denied that this Mr. and Mrs. Carl Fredrickson and family and Mrs. Myrtle Web- ber of Summit Lake, were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Ellis.

The non-essential driv- er cannot expect new tires for a long time, at least until rubber is no longer a critical problem, and every owner of a car must realize that. conservation of tires must be strictly maintained. Driv- ing speeds must be held down, non-essential driving reduced, and carelessness eliminated. “Rules and regulations are of little effect, if cooperation of the American people is not secured. To them, I appeal—«it is their problem and theirs to help solve. Only by present—day cooperation will they provide themselves with speedier relief from the remain- ing burdens of rationing. “The rubber problem has not yet been completed solved. Ev— ery American must realize that except for essential necessities, rubber cannot become a gener- ally availablé commodity for a long time, and that extensive, conservation of tires and of other rubber products must still be con- tinued. The next four to six months will be the critical per-I iod. “It is not necessary to repeatI the importance of maintaining a| proper transportation system! within this country; Due to in- creased burden uoon all transpor- I tation facilities, the wear of busl and truck tires has been greater than anticipated, and allocations for this purpose haVe necessar- ily been increased. I .-.AMMWM___.—— “There has been much confu- sion as to policies in connection with passenger care tires. The most important and largest inven- tory of rubber in existence is in the tires of passenger cars. A re- cappable carcass is a net saving, because a new tire need not be issued. Freeing recaps from ra- tioning is a positive conservation measure which extends the life of the tires now on passenger cars. .New tires will be issued only to essential drivers.” WOMEN’S SAFETY SHOES AVAILABLE Amendment 19 to Ration Or- lder 17, effective June 3, provides that special stamps for the pur- chase of women’s safety shoes with' plastic or fibre toe box may be obtained in plants authorized% to handle safety shoe applications age of saw logs now! or by application in person or by mail to the local board, If the worker needs the protection of these shoes on her job, she may obtain a special stamp even though she has spent her own stamp 17, and there are unspent stamps held by members of her family. CEILING PRICES CHANGE New ceilings have been estab- lished, effective June 7 (Amend- ment 2 to revised price schedule 66). Farm tractors will be re- capped with grade F Camelback. entirely reclaimed, rubber, instead of grade C, which results in re- duced ceilings. Truck and bus tires will be recapped in grade A, in- i * creasing the ceilings. As grade A Wears longer than grade C, it is expected this change will result in greater rubber conservation.
