OUT
More Fir for MacArthur...
Australia is a timber country, out-
side its desert areas. 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. With a-—-—“More
fir for MacArthur!”
Down Argentine Way . . .
The Douglas fir lumber haul to
Australia is not so long as that to
the Argentine. Back in the days of
plenty and peace it was my luck to
get a ride with three million feet of

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.

sea in a bowl was nothing as
compared to the problem faced
Cross Sewing room.
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.
Women who have given of their
time at the sewing room this year
are: Miss Arline Chiavo, Mrs.
Gladys Eddy, Mrs-Olive C. Steen,
Mrs. Sophia Goodwin, Mrs. Ella
