August lumber production in the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Wash- ington hit a post war peak, while orders continued a firm upward trend, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the W e s t Coast Lumbermen's association, announced today. Calling attention to the rail- road car shortage in the Pacific Northwestl  Simpson declared the entire month's production could have been shipped had sufficient transportation been available. The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in Aug- ust was 145,573,000 board feet as i against an average of 102,746,000 board feet in July, Simpson said. Orders jumped to an average of 139,924,000 feet, an increase of 3,- 247,000 over those for July. Aug- ust shipments rose to 137,055,000 from 101,040,000 in July.. Sharp increases over the previous month, Simpson pointed out, were due to sawmill shutdowns during the Fourth of July period. "The encouraging production to- tal," explained the lumber execu- tive, "was' due primarily to a heavy demand for lumber from the Pacific Northwest coupled with favorable weather condi- tions." umulattve production for the firht 35 weeks of 1947 was 4,615,- 065,000 b.f.; 35 weeks, 1946, 4,168,- 167,000 b.f.; 35 weeks, 1945, 4,632,- 760,000 b.f. Orders for 35 weeks of 1947 break down as follows: Rail 3,- 132,850,000 b.f.; domestic cargo, 569,740,000; export, 644,966,000; local, 447,255,000.

Whenever Fleet Admiral Ches- ter W. Nimitz, U.S.N. Chief of Naval Operations in the United States Navy, visits his home state of Texas he changes the buttons in his uniform and wears those of the Texas Navy, a small but po- tent "fleet" of vessels which pro- tected the coastline of that state from 1839 to 1845, when it was incorporated into the United States Navy. Fleet Admiral Nim- its was commissioned an Admir- al in the Texas Navy on October 12, 1925. Last year he learned that the Scovile Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Conn., had found the dies from which they had made the buttons for the uniforms of persons in the Texas Navy and he immediately asked them to make him a set.
