However, care- less smokers and incendiarists cause half our forest fires, more than five times as many as result from lightning. These changes were made by T A X I 'the Office of Price Administra- Jtion with approval of the War Food Administration.

Big Forest Value Gains Predicted The chief of the U. S. forest service believes the postwar Northwest will garner vastly ex- panded lumber profits without cutting a single additional stick of timber. “Expansion of the lumber in- dustry will not necessitate cut- ting larger numbers of trees,” Lyle F. Vlgatts, Washington, DC, ‘told interviewers. “It will be achieved by increasing the value of the product.“ He cited alcohol—from-wood waste and the new process of converting soft wood into hard- wood as examples of the predicted increase in timber values.

Ration value of creamery butter is unchanged at 16 points. Point values announced today continue through Saturday, Sep- tember 2nd. New Chart The new point charts contain no new changes for processed foods, but include changes an- nounced, July 30 when points were restored to corn, and grape jam, tomato preserves and tomato marmalades were reduced to zero. Another red stamp—D5—worth 10 points became valid August 13, good indefinitely. Points for better grades of beef steaks and beef roasts and for better grades of lamb steaks and lamb roasts—that is, “commer- cial,” “good” and “choice” grades —continue at their present level because many areas are in short supply. Cuts of beef and lamb now at zero remain unchanged. New point values for pork loin cuts will range from four per pound for end cuts to eight for center cuts with the whole loin at five points. Hams, including smoked, will be five points per pound with the shank end at two points and slices at nine points per pound. Ready-to-eat hams are two points per pound higher in value. Dependency Claim Officer in‘Olympia Lieutenant Elvin H. Hewins of the San Francisco offide of the Field Investigation Branch of the War Department Office of De- pendency Benefits will be in Olympia August 19 throuh Aug-l ust 22 to investigate dependency claims in connection with family allowances. This announcement was made by Brig. Gen. H. N. Gilbert, USA, Director of the ODB. The ODB is that activity of the Office of the Fiscal Director, Headquarters, Army S e r v i c e Forces, in Newark, New Jersey, which administers family allow- ances and Class E allotments-of- diers and dependents. Lt. Hewins will establish tem- porary headquarters in Olympia at 110 N. Capitol Way. Those who have received ap- pointment requests from the re- gional FIB office are cautioned to be prompt in keeping their appointments and to bring with them all evidence listed in the re- quest, including their application number and the soldier‘s Army serial number. Failure to keep' such an appointment may result in the discontinuance of the fam- ily allowance, it was stated. Dependents whose claims are not under investigation, and who , have not received appointment re- quests, may call at the above ad—, dress on official business relating to their family allowances. Those‘ who expect to confer , with the ODB officer are advised to bring with them their proof of earnings, if any, and all other available financial data bearing on their income or living expense. Danger of Forest Fires is Great Faced with the driest summer in 54 years, state foresters are concerned over the immediate danger that exists in all forest areas. Figures compiled in the office of T. S. Goodyear show that to the first day of August 854 forest fires have been re- corded. This is 200 more fires than were recorded at the same date last year. “Many of these fires are the result of carelessness on the part of berry pickers,” according to T. S. Goodyear, state forester. “‘Such fires not only destroy a most critical war mate 'al but also require many valuab e man- hours to control. The nation can ill afford to lose timber or waste manpower. Berry picker fires must either be immediately elim- in'iited or berry picking in the for- s s of Washington will be pro- hibited for the balance of the fire season.

I There was no snow in this vicinity last winter and there was a shortage in.the mountains, while the spring {rains were below normal; tinder-like. all of which is a reminder that this section is unusually dry and the countryside and woods . There is also another reminder in the low streams and ithe drying wells, that the water level in this section is getting lower each year; due in part to the cutting of the timber coverage and faster run-off, which may or may not be recovered by the regrowth of young timber in the water sheds. But while there have been no serious timber fires in ‘this section so far this dry season there is danger ahead until the fall rains come, probably not until October, and trekkers in the woods and those who drive along the high- ways are self-appointed guardians of our future timber heritage.

John A. .Burnett, son of Mrs. Jack Bur- nett, 605 Pine St., Shelton, was graduated this week from the AAF Training Command’s Flex- ,ible Gunnery School at Bucking- ‘ham Field near Fort'Myers, Fla. Now qualified as an aerial gun- ner, he will soon become a mem- ber of the Army Air Forces’ bomber crews. He will receive his crew training at an operational then go overseas. Hundreds of “Stars and Stripes" written by a war correspondent aboard the 'ship P. C. Glenn is on. The cor- l l l respondent, Bill Brinkley, wrote in part that PCs (patrol craft) and SCs (sub chasers) patrol ahead of the cargo ships toward the enemy lines so that E—boats have to go through them to reach their objective. At the time he wrote not one had broken through a PC patrol in the Mediterranean Area, where he was writing from. Painted on the bridge of the PC is the silhouette of the E-boat she shot up on Blue patrol (not its real name) last time up. In training field in the United States the story Glenn had said Blue patrol was E-boat alley and if. gunners are graduated each week [they were put on it again they pay on behalf of 20,000,000 sol- from the huge gunnery school [would be almost sure to get near Fort‘Myers where the shoot— ing ranges from skeet with a shotgun to firing from a power operated turret in the huge bomb- ers over the Gulf of Mexico. something. When Glenn sent the clipping he added a note saying they had been on Blue patrol again and added two more E— boats to their credit since the A clerk, he entered the Army .time they story was written. 18 months ago and has also com- pleted the armament school at Lowry Field, Colo. ‘ l CPL. ELMER R. ARNDT COMPLETES SECOND YEAR. 15th AAF in Italy—Cpl. Elmer R. Arndt, 120 E. Cedar St., com- pleted two years of overseas duty with his Flying Fortress unit on August 6th, thus becoming one -of the real veterans of the war in the European and Mediterran- ean theatres. His Fortress group was activ- ated at .Geiger Field, Wash, shortly after Pearl Harbor, rush- ed through training and sent ov- erseas to England on August 6. There, they participated in the first all-American air attacks against Germany and. German held territory. With the African invasion, the group moved south to play a key part in that campaign. Despite lthe most trying of living condi- tions and almost constant enemy ’attacks the men of the unit did outstanding work. Moving to an Italian base early in December of 1943, the unit took part in the first coordinated raids against central Germany from Italy and Englantt Men of the group have twice received distinguished unit cita- tions, presented during a recent ceremony by Maj. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, commanding general of the 15th Army Air Force. One ‘of these was given.for a brilliant and daring attack which destroy- ed an enemy ammunition convoy during the closing stages of the Tunisian campaign; the other for the- first coordinated attack of the Eighth and 15th Air Forces against Regensburg, Germany. With better than 300 missions to its credit, the group is prob- ably best known for leading the first raid on Rome and the sink- ing of the Italian heavy cruiser Trieste. PINCKNEYS RECEIVE LETTER ABOUT SON Mr. and Mrs. John Pinckney this week received a letter from Ens. M. A. Johnson, Acting Boat Captain aboard the ship on which their son Bob is serving. The let- ter follows: “Having your son aboard my boat has been a distinct pleasure to the officers as well as the en- listed men of the crew. They are lall mighty fine, energetic and co- loperative group of fellows, who ‘work in the closest of harmony withus and each other. “As far as your son is concern- ed, let me congratulate you in having a most energetic son whose initiative knows no bounds. He is, without a doubt, the best hand we have and the quality of his work is of a superior rating. “I rather thought you would enjoy hearing from his Skipper as to his welfare. He seems to be in excellent health and I do know he is happy to be back on a boat again, particularly with this group. We all like your son im- mensely and I assure you that I shall do everythihg in my power to k_eep him happy, help him in his advancement and take the best care of him possible. I might add, that when he is eligible for his next rate, he will be on the recommended list and the first. name on the list from this P.T. Most sincerely yours, Ens. Marty Johnson. “P.S.——I am almost certain that you shall have your son with you for Chritsmas—I sincerely hope I am right.” GLENN A. CONNER, RSMZ/c SENDS NEWS CLIPPING Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Conner have just received a. clipping from led and adopted at other game _ tor fur-bearing animals I ' county. “The PC has made three Medi- terranean invasions; has surviv- ed hard and doubtful moments— in one air raid she got 87 shrap- nel holes, lost one man, killed, others wounded. Her locker of TNT depth charges caught fire‘ and for a while there was the‘ hottest sort of hell to pay.” .4__________. Temporary Relief In . Heavy Tire Crisis "I‘HORIZED LICENSE DEALERS). An emergency allocation of 392 more heavy duty bus and truck tires brought some relief to the transportation crisis in Western Washington today. . “This relief is only temporary. The situation still is critical. We, don‘t begin to have enough tires to go ’round and they can be dol- ed out only for the most impera— tive war-effort transportation,” Arthur J.
