IMPROVED UTILIZATION By CHARLES V. STANTON Weyerhaeuser Timber Company announces a new type of hydraulic barker which removes the bark from logs before they are run through the saws at its Longview, Washington, mill. Because the log has been entirely cleaned of all bark when it reaches the saws, a considerable saving results. The sawyer, it is stated, can judge his cutting procedure more efficiently, saving wood which otherwise would be wasted; slabs and edgings can be sent to the sulphate pulp mill in stead of being burned, debris accumulation in the mill is reduced, mill operation is speeded up and conveyor jams are minimized, wear and tear on band saws are reduced due to removal of gravel and dirt imbedded in bark, and bark is removed cheaply enough to permit diversion into various products. Weyerhaeuser has spent a large sum of money to develop this new operation. Much engineering and experimentation have been required. But, with installation completed, Weyer haeuser will utilize more of each log and send less waste material to burners, and at the same time reduce operating costs. Weyerhaeuser is able to finance a research and engineer ing staff only because it has a big operation. No small op erator could afford experimentation of this type. Conse quently small mills go on wasting a high percentage of the resource. If smaller operators, either individually or cooperatively, were to be placed on a sustained-yield cooperative contract basis, as has been proposed, they, too, having an assured supply of raw material for perpetual operation, would be in a position to do at least limited research and engineer ing, and would have incentive to install waste utilization processes. But they have no incentive to improve practices while continuing to operate without security as to future supply of logs. Opponents of the proposed cooperative contract program of sustained-yield forest management protest invasion of the rights of free enterprise, equal opportunity and open competition. They claim the plan promotes monopoly by a favored few. Few sawmills, aside from the very large concerns able to ' purchase timber outright in large enough supply to assure continued future operation, could continue if they were shut off from buying publicly-owned timber. This public timber is the property of every man, woman and child, and should, if properly managed, be a national asset for generations still unborn. The public, therefore, has a right to demand that the resource be utilized as fully as invention and economics will permit. If fuller utilization would follow cooperative contract management, as it obviously would, the public should demand a management policy protecting its own interests. Heretofore bark removal has been practiced chiefly on logs going into plywood manufacture. Logs sent through a sawmill were not de-barked. Plywood plants largely use a mechanical barker which rotates a toothed wheel against the log, tearing away the bark. The mechanical barker does a rough job and leaves the surface uneven. Considerable waste comes from the lathe until the first layer has been trimmed away. The Weyerhaeuser process uses two streams of water under 1300 pounds of pressure. Oscillating jets drive a small stream of water against the log with such force that the bark is cut away as if by a sharp knife. The log is rotated and advanced by means of trunion wheels and chain con veyors. Its movements must be kept carefully controlled be cause the streams of water are so powerful they will cut into good fibre if the log is left too long in one position. Bark removed from the log is carried away by conveyors, while the water is returned to the pumps to be used over and over again. The hydraulic method of bark removal is not new, but the procedure has been greatly improved in the installation completed by Weyerhaeuser and it is the first application, so far as is known, in preparing logs for sawmills. It is an other forward step in the trend toward more complete utili zation of the log and recovery of more of the values from the timber resource. The general public has a big stake in the utilization pro gram and should give it every encouragement Here in Doug las County w have mora than 70 billion board feet of standing timber. Tresent utilization is about one-third of the resource. If utilization could be advanced to as much as 60 per cent, we would have at least three times as many jobs, because the number of man hours per thousand feet of raw material is much higher in the utilization field than in manufacture of rough lumber. i By Viahnett S. Martin p-fZJ Good morning, ladles and gen tlemen. Here we are, back at the Bitwum', quaint old barn in which they are so unselfishly letting their guests play around. Geraldine, tired of tossing chim ney rocks at Reginald and never hitting him, had picked another stunt off the blackboard. With this one went a dainty little paint brush, not over four Inches wide, o she wouldn't break her wrist before quitting time, and a pall of paint. Up the long stairs she floated, all atlngle with expectancy, and there on the mezzanine where the haymow used to be, we find her swiping the paint on to the rails all around the balcony overlook ing the huge buggy section of the barn (I mean the beautiful living-room-to-be.) when she spies Reg inald below gallanty helping Ermlntrude yank oft old wall paper. What, "No wallpaper In a bamr Um-m, let's see. Oh yes, somebody else had taken a flier at the old barn but had wearied and gone to Alaska where he hoped there would be no old barns to re model. Do you have to be so persnickety? Whose barn Is this, anyway? Yes, yes, of course, It's the Bltwuns', Just what I was going to say. Now wjiere was we? Oh, yes, Geraldine goes down the stairs, first dropping the paintbrush on the top step, and starts using her scarlet birdsclaws on the wall paper downstairs . . . Henrietta, who has been in the loft all this time, rummaging in the hope of finding treasures left by former occupants, has found guess what? Yes, some old horseblankets, genuinely moth eaten. Excitedly she hauls th?n; onto the balcony and drapes them on the rail (s s h, it will Just help them stay In place) and calls: "Yoo-hoo, down there. Aren't these too divine?" Feeling she must study the effect from below she starts down the stairs, poises gracefully with one foot on the paint brush, and descends Inform ally, making a .three-point land ing. ' thrilling the rest of the houscparty. Henrietta has been entrusted with the 'decor,' tome- thing that turns an old barn Into a period house oh, let's put that period where It belongs. She decides that rare old wallpaper never should have come off, so everybody starts pasting It back on . . . but, ladles and gentlemen. the studio clock warns us that we must leave the Bltwuns and find another topic for tomorrow's Mending Basket, and stay out of KRNR. In the Day's Hews (Continued From Page One) we dreamed up notions to account for It. In the neighborhood In which this writer grew up an Intriguing theory prevailed. It was firmly believed, at least by all small boys, that these Insects burrowed downward Into the ground for I eight and a half years and then, at some signal which they all un derstood, they turned around and burrowed upward for another eight and a half years. We used to hold heated argu ments over how they could know, away down there In the bowels of the earth, when the eight and a half years had elapsed and It was time to turn around and start up again. And how could they time their burrowing so that at the end of 17 years they would emerge at Just the right time? Bluebirds Advance At Ceremony To Camp Fire Girls Forty six Bluebirds participat ed in the fly-up ceremony at the Methodist Church Thursday aft ernoon when they were advanced to members of the Camp Fire Girls of Roseburg. Many parents and friends were In attendance at this impressive ceremony, the first of Its kind to be held locally. The girls, led by their leaders, marched Into the church base ment double file, and each placed a flower in an arrangement on the floor which formed the Camp Fire Insignia, the crossed logs and flame, when completed. Mrs. Sidney Domenico gave each girl a certificate, and after the presentation eight Camp Fire Girls entered, singing "Wo-helo," and Instructed the new girls In singing the cheer. In the hand- sign. Camp Fire laws and re quirements for first rank. A welcoming Camp Fire talk was given by Mrs. Domenico, executive director lor the Camp Fire organization in Douglas county.

Fine Art of Quitting One of Man's Hardest Things in Life to Master By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK-(.n-One of the hardest things In life for any man to master Is the fine art of quitting. This 24 karat truth Is pointed up anew by the decision of Joseph Louis, the eminent pugilist, to resume his former calling.

'Just Ona Mora' But now Joe has changed his mind again as have many cham pions who wanted to quit at the top and he's going to try one more fight next June, when he'll be 35. "Just one more, Joe." It's hard to resist that plea. Sometimes the plea comes from within a champion's own heart. More often It comes from hl re tainers and the men around him who want to keep him in action to finish feathering their own nests. It's true of politicians, business men and warriors as well aa ath letes. There's alwavs a group that wants them to atav In there pitching after their own minds tell them It time to step down. "Just once more," they're told. "We need you. We can't win this time without you. Just once more." It la hard to resist such flat tering pressure, the "You'rethe only one w hooando-lt" flattery. And so the aching muscle or the weary mind goes nack "Just onee more" Into the fray. And too often what happens 1 hat hap pened to Jim Jeffries when he emerged from retirement for a flabby rendezvous with Jack Johnson at Reno In 1910, to Jack Pempscy when he took on Gene Tunney a econd time, and to Napoleon when he met a fellow called "The Iron Duke" at a wide place in the road called Waterloo. But quitting at the right time at the peak is even more diffi cult for the common man than it is for the champion In any field. Churchill Ideal 'Quitter' To the ordinary man an en forced retirement Isn't just a blow to his ego It's usually a catastrophe caused by Illness or accident. And planned retirement Is to him a goal near the end of his llte's run a short dreamy Interlude before death grabs him. It's hard to quit. Perhaps the most graclotrs "quitter" of our day is Winston Churchill. Ho quits every time the voters toss him out. and goes off and writes some best selling memoirs and paints some pictures. Then, refreshed in spirits. Churchill rides back again Into high public office on the chang ing title, smiling and eloquent as ever and holding no resentment against the voter. He's ' made more comebacks than Yo-Yo.

Their appearance waa supposed to herald the coming of another war, and when their wierd, shrill buzzing began to fill the air people grew solemn and afraid and talked In hushed whispers of the war that was on the way. Why did we all know that war wa coming when the 17-year lo cust arrived? There wa EVIDENCE. The evidence wa clear and plain. If you caught one of these Insects and examined It, you would find in each of its wing the letter W. There It was, as plain as the nose on your faoe. It was formed by the veinglng of the wing. You could see It with your own eye and you couldn't be mistaken. With a portent like that, how could you doubt that war was coming? S A matter of fact, war WAS coming. At the time when this now aging scribe wa a cal low youngster, we had to wait a long time for lt to arrive. But It DID arrive. When lt came, people shook their heads and muttered: "It had to be. We told you so. We knew lt was coming when we saw the war locusts.") a a WHAT these things prove. If they prove anything, Is that theie are CYCLES. The oekeye salmon run on a cycle. When the fourth year come around, the cockeye de part from where It I and head back for the place where lt wa spawned. If there IS such a thing as the seven-year Itch (or ever was) you Just start scratching when the seventh year arrives. You keep scratching until the cycle passes. Out here in the West, the tree tings tell us that the weather tend to run In cycles. Over the h indrd of year that can be tiaced In the rings of a big tree when Its butt Is cross-cut by a saw, it appear that the cycles fall into something like a 15- year pattern. That Is to say there will be 15 year of dry weather, followed by something like 15 year of wet weather, a a a '11IHAT of it?" you may ask. if Well, maybe it s like this: j If the sockeye salmon run Government For Palestine Set Up By Arab League AMMAN, Trans-Jordan, Sept. 20 UP Over the strong protests of Trans-Jordan and Iraq, the Arab League announced forma tion today of an Arab government for Palestine. Ahmed Pasha, military gover nor of the Arab-held section of Jerusalem, was appointed prime minister of the new government, an official announcement here said, despite a declaration from King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan that such a government would amount to partitioning Palestine. The Arabs have fought against partition ever since the begin ning, he said. King Abdullah re fused to permit formation of the government "within the security zone of the Trans-Jordan that such a government would amount to partitioning Palestine. He added: "Creation of such a government Is an arbitrary act without the consent of the Palestinian people, a thing I will not agree to and will oppose." Abdullah's declaration thu brought to a head long-simmering differences over the forma tion of an Arab government for Palestine. Abdullah has been pic tured as seeing In such a govern ment an effort by the Mufti of Jerusalem to carve out a base of power for himself in Palestine. In Cairo Saturdav.
