I a... .- MAKING HAVOC AMONG THE JAPANESE in Burma from February through May of this year, have been columns of British, Indian and Burmese troops led by a British brigadier. They blew _up more than 100 miles of Jap railroads and bridges. killing numerous Jap soldiers. But perhaps more important was their work in budding better roads into Burmt ] the country, Share Cookers “Share your pressure cooker” is a campaign gaining great m0- mentum in Washington state these days, according to reports receiv— ed by the Agricultural Extension :Service of the State College of Washington. In virtually every community neighbors are either making plans or are right now joining with someone with a pressure cooker to get their canning done. It is not necessary to loan your pres- sure cooker outright. Rather the idea of several housewives get— ting together with someone with a pressure cooker and doing the processing at “canning Bees" is working out most satisfactorily. Because of unfavorable grow- ing conditions in some parts of preserving just as much of the home food supply as possible is more important than ever. This means using all existing pressure cookers to ca- pacity, exchanging surplus pro— duct among families, canning to— gether in neighborhood groups, and spreading out the canning season to get greater variety of . products.

Rayonier Report ‘ (Continued from page one) materials. The turnover of labor, both in the woods and in the mills, resulted in operating inef- ficiencies with accompanying cost increases. The rates paid labor were increased. There has been no increase in the prices received by the company for its products since June, 1940. Development of the shipbuild- ing industry and growth of other .war plants resulted in a severe shortage of manpower necessary to produce logs and operate the mills in the localities where Ray- onier’s plants are situated. Be- § cause of these shortages the War friend; science has lost a searcher ‘ for and discoverer of the truth; humanitarian forces have lost a firm supporter and a hard worker; and the community has lost one who was greatly interested in and has substantially contributed to its upbuilding and progress. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to the family of the said D. B. Production Board ordered some of the company’s plants to be oper- ated at a reduced rate of produc- tion and the Tacoma plant shut down. After careful investigation, the directors of the company de- cided to abandon the Tacoma plant and certain 'facilities that had been installed at Shelton in order to process the unbleached pulp manufactured at Tacoma. The amount written off plant and equipment amounted to $988,274. Reduce Bank Loans Bank loans due August 1, 1944 were prepaid in the amount of $500,000. This reduced the amount, outstanding to $3,000,000 which is payable in four semiannual in- stallments of $500,000 each, com- lmencing February 1, 1945, and l i one installment of $1,000,000 pay- able February 1, 1947.

Mills, president, states, “It ap-" ipears reasonable to assume that after the war there will be a very great expansion in world usage of rayon yarn, staple fiber, cello- phane, plastics and numerous other commodities where dissolv- ing pulps may be economically applied, and your company, thru its development of special types of pulps for, these purposes, stands in a position to benefit materially ,from this anticipated growth.” and in making friends among the native people. These will. be useful when it becomes possible to launch the offensive that. will drive out the Japanese. This new picture of supplies carried by mules tor the Allied troops in Burma shows the difficult jungle conditions in which these daring fighters operated.
