Continued Heavy Demands for War Mean no Increased Lumber Rations For Civilians During Current Year A poll of informed sources reveals little optimism that larger ra tions of lumber for civilians can be expected in the near future. Opinion is unanimous that the lumber Industry met all its mili tary obligations on the nail during 1944, despite a production decline of possiblly 10 or 12 per cent from the previous year. The civilian took the rap to make up that de ficit. All are confident that mill tary requirements will be met during 1945, unless depletion of manpower and progressive de terioration of equipment results in more serious loss of production than now appears likely. No decrease in the volume re quisitioned by the government is anticipated while the war contin ues in both theatres, and the var ious items will be ordered in ap proximately the same propor tions as during the last half of '44. The emphasis during 1944 was on boards, due to the shift from construction to packaging. More boards are being produced than ever before In the history of the Industry and still more are being demanded. War Needs Not Lessened In total, apnroximately 70 to 80 tier cent of all lumber production during 1944 went directly or in directly Into the war, and that proportion is seen continuing through '45 unless there is a sharp letup In the actual fight ing. The biggest single, item in the estimated figures of lumber consumption in 1944 is packaging (boxing, crating, and dunnage) approximately 45 per cent. Civil ian construction (which may or may not be an indirect war use) accounts for about 30 per cent; military uses and factory prod ucts (probably mostly military) make up the 25 per cent balance. The military services have stockpiles of lumber at various points, but no excess. Both army and navy have been working to reduce surpluses and it is con sidered unlikely that any of these stocks are large enough to cause termination of government orders. No relaxation of lumber con trol regulations is anticipated, if the war continues through 1945. although they might be eased gradually if the European phase should end during the year. The market situation which brought about War Production Board Order L.335 in August con tinues, and it is generally felt that L-335 is being intelligently administered and Is accomplish ing its purpose. The individuals polled could suggest no altera tions or adjustments In the cur rent regulations that might result in greater sunplics reaching the domestic market. Europe to Get Little No large shipments of lumber to Europe for rehabilitation fol lowing the defeat of Germany are expected. This Is largely a problem of shipping space which will be urgently needed in the Pa cific. Also. Europe will be able to re-establish Its old lumber sources Sweden, Finland, and Russia quickly, and Britain will draw on Canada. No reconversion difficulties are anticipated at war's end, and it Is expected that the industry will be prepared for the boom home building market with adequate supplies of dry lumber of good quality before the builders are ready to absorb It. It i pointed out that an estimated five-billion-dollar home' repair Job is ready to fill the time lapse between the end of the war and the return to tha market, of .other Jiqme build ing essentials such as plumbing. Dairy farmers alone 'can use' a large volume of lumber imme diately that it is available to them. The only doubt about the lum- The Willows Dine and Dance Chicken and Steak Dinners Dance Until 2:30 a. m. Friday Featuring Bob Doty at the piano. Saturday Orchestra Music.
