There the white mountain ash (eucalyptus regnans) grows to the tallness of our Douglas firs. The hoop pine is a powerful tree of Queensland. Sassafras, myrtle and blackwood. as well as eucalyptus, produce timber wages and dividends in Tasmania. But for forty years and more the Aussies have been heavy importers of Douglas fir for use in their best construction. They call it “Oregon” -—-—just that, even when it is fir from British Columbia. In their war year ending June 30, 1941. our “fair dink- um” comrades of battle still man- aged to raft some 80 million super feet of “Oregon” across the Pacific. Australian lumber trade has meant a lot to our tidewater mills, particu- larly on Grays Harbor and Coos Bay, in times past. Only the Army and Navy know what is going over these days for war construction. We can just be sure that heavy Australian shipments from our forests in other years are serving right now in many types of military buildings down under. What timber-faller wouldn’t like to know that some prime fir tree brought dOWn by his labor is now floor, walls and roof used by Gen- eral MacArthur or by MacArthur's men somewhere in Australia? What sawyer wouldn‘t feel mighty pride in a certainty that structural timbers from his headrig are now hangar roof trusses for MacArthur‘s rip- roaring planes? Hundreds of millions of feet from our. woods and mills are in such service down there. Somebody felled the trees. Somebody sawed ’em up. Here’s an old sergeant’s salute to those Somebodies.

That same demand rules with our Army and Navy engineers wherever war bases are being built. The story of our forests going down to the sea in ships on war missions can’t be told now. But we can be sure it’s the biggest story in the history of lumbering. A base force without buildings is like an individual soldier without a uniform. The start of those build- ings must be at a tree—most likely 3 Douglas fir tree ten thousand miles ' away, with two rugged timber-fall- ers swinging axes and pulling a saw ——“giving 'er snoose" to ax the Axis, I to beat ’em with timber.

When an average of a dozen or so women try to use one sewing machine, they are stuck, and therewith is the point to this story. Since February of this year a group of women have been meet- ing faithfully each Wednesday afternoon in the Lutheran Church Parish room to sew garments for Red Cross distribution. Cute trousers for little boys, dresses for little daughters, bath- robes, pajamas, in fact, a varied assortment of apparel has 'been received, and left the sewing room a finished product. But there is only one sewing machine, and if another could be obtained on loan or by donation, the‘important work being accom- plished- by these women could be l greatly speeded up.
