Deceitfully expensive looking . . . only $17.95 Second Floor of Fashions Intensive Advertising Gives West Coast Lumber Top Spot In Country's Retail Marts Oregon's famed West coast lumber has now been given charm and distinction. In three short years of intensive national advertising, in competi tion with the nation's best known products. West Coast lumber has become the most sought after of all lumber species. It is being demanded, in ever Increasing quantities, by milady, who has a pretty big say about how the country's new homes are built. More and more, architects and designers specify West Cosst woods for new schools, churches, commercial and industrial build ings. Much of this increased demand for West coast woods, much of the wider scceptance and greater ap preciation of Douglas fir and other species from this region, stems from the three-year, nation-wide1 advertising and promotion cam paign of the West Coast Lumber men's Association. Results of this program to personalize one-time drab wood have been surprisingly successful. , Lumbermen from this region, members of the West Coast Lum bermen's association, are being given a larger share in planning and executing the industry's 1950 nation-wide promotion and adver tising. Douglas C aunty Men Named Six Douglas county lumbermen have been named to important key committees of the association by President D. W. Gossard. Named from Douglas county are: Henry N. Jscobion, Youngs Bsy Lumber Co., Roseburg; D. B. Kee ner, Sutherlin Timber Products Co., Sutherlin; C. B. Tobin, Yoncslla Lumber Co., Yoncslla: M. L. Hall mark, Douglas County Lumber company, Roseburg; C. C. Studley, Robert Dollar company, Glendale, and Jim Whipple, E. G. Whipple Co., Drain. , These men will serve on the strong traffic, trade promotion and car supply committees. Gossard ssid that Douglas fir and other West Coast lumber spe cies have won the widest accept ance they have had in more than a quarter of a century. Each year since 1946, with the stsrt of nation al advertising of West coast woods in 20 lesding national magaiines and periodicals, lumber sales from this region have increased, with 1941 the biggest year since the roaring '20s. Local lumbermen will be asked to help shape plans for selling West cosst lumber to the American con sumer in even larger quantities. Gossard paid high tribute to the association's national advertising and selling program, pointing out that though lumber consumption dropped off nationally in 1949, the Douglas fir region reported gains in sales and shipments. "Douglas county's prosperity," Gosssrd said, "depends on whether local mills can maintain full pro duction and full employment. We have had ample demonstration, during the last three years, of sales possibilities when we get out and really promote West coaat lum per. "Every sawmill and every em ployee in western Oregon profits from the association's merchands inr program." Gossard stated. "It is to the interest of all local mill- men to join with their time and money to make certain this re markably successful national lum ber promotion program does not lag tor want ol full industry sup port." The association chieftain, him self one of the outstanding lumber ssles msnagers in the West coast region, said the entire promotion campaign costs the average saw mill less than the wsges of a clean up man around the mill. Gossard said any mill operator In this region not participating in the national promotion effort, who desired to help, should contact As sociation headquartera in Portland. In addition to national advertis ing. Gossard said the association hss supplied more than 1,100,000 pieces of literature on lumber use on request to every state in tne Union during 1949. A new color and sound motion picture. "Lum ber for Homes," is now ready for showing and should prove a power ful tool to help retailers sell more West coast lumber, he said. ultra-violet. Not much to cheer about in all this, admittedly. But Rankin nev ertheless may have something. Off hand it sounds better than exposing onesell to a radio-active rasn by strutting around Des Moines or Denver in brosd daylight. Establishment Of Second Capital Would Present Tough Obstacles By BRUCE BIOSSAT There's lots of talk these dsys about having a second capital for the government to skip off to in case we ge into an H-bomb war. Rep. John Rankin, the Mississippi fireball, suggests we go under ground at Mammoth Cave.Ky. That presents some challenging angles. Right off, a big problem would be to find some echo-proof chambers for Congress, for not even the lawmakera could endure a constant play-back of their own sonorous phrases. It's bad enough that they bump into them now in the Congressional Record. They shouldn't have too much trouble running interference among the stalactites, stalagmites and oth er rocky obstacles dotting their underground path. Years of experi ence in fending off job-seeking constituents would come in handy here. The standard gripe about climate won't exactly fit at Mammoth, though some undoubtedly would find the place a trifle cool and moist. We could expect a big boom in sales of footwarmers, de-humidifiers, heavy woolen goods. And despite all cries for econ omy, some new agencies would be bound to spring up. Certainly a federal bat control authority would be one. Today anti-stream pollution control gets attention. At ' Mam moth, anti-stream control would be more to the point. Many members of capital offi cialdom probably would feel safer if their cave-dwelling were an around-the-clock affair. But others would surely prefer to climb out of the hole at sundown and scatter to snug Kentucky hide-outs. Vice President Barkley, who hails from Paducah, could easily slip home weekends. Ground Hog Day likely would be matched by Congressman's Day. If a lawmaker climbed out of the cave and saw his shadow, it would mean another year of an unbalanc ed budget. Vacations would pose a difficulty. For short trips, near-by Fort Knox might have some appeal. The place could be expanded to include a few choice suites. Snuggling up to all that gold would be comforting to men who had just voted another ten billion. About the only passable substi tute for Florida or California would be the giant Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Plenty of space there, but you have to bring your own U. S. Census Doubling By Y.ar 2000 Is Predicted SAN FRANCISCO. UP The U. S. population may double in the next 50 years. Dr. Joseph S. Davis, director of Mantora university's Institute of food research, said the year 2,000 may find 200 to 300 million persons in this country. The Bureau of Cen sus estimates the present popula tion at 149,000,000. More babies, increased life ex pectancy and immigration are the three frctors on which Dr. Davis based his prediction in a pamphlet "The Population Upsurge in the United States."

Phillips NEW YORK, -41ft K demoral ising coal shortage sulked the nation last week. It imposed hard ships on millions of individmls and crippled business and indus try. At the end of the week no re liable evidence waa at hand to in dicate how long the struggle be tween the United Mine workers and the coal operators would con tinue. A federal court pondered the union's guilt in ignoring a back-to-work order and set Monday as the earliest date any development could be expected. The White House continued a hands-off po licy. The coal operators rested on a point of law and John L. Lewis, chief actor in the drama, mourned the loss of a brother in Spring field, IU. But it was clear that unless coal moved in the near future there would be an immeasurable increase in industrial paralysis, ec onomic stagnstion and human hardship. Hardly any aegment of business escaped the consequences of t h e great coal strike. Retail trade waa hurt by exten sive brownouts and curtailed hours of shopping in numerous cities as officials sought frantically to chan nel what little coal there waa on hand to the place where it would do the most good for the most people. The populous and heavy coal consuming state of New York waa among the places where drastic rationing waa in effect The conservation measures 1 n- New Books This Week ...

Railroads were bit a second body blow by the coal strike. Al ready they had been forced te cut paasenger train ached ulee br 25 percent This week they faced growing trouoiea in seeping those now in operation on time due to the poor quality of coal firemen had to work with. Railroads have the authority to confiscate any coal moving o n lines or within their reach else where, but they have been reluc tant to adopt such stringent mea sures because of the hardship it might entail on the ultimate con signee. A car of coal shunted to a siding in an outlying district and billed to a leading coal merchant cnuld really be destined for a near by town's only hospital or high school. UnemDlovment loomed to t h a highest level since pre-war days aa a direct result of the vsrious strikes in force this week and the joblessness caused indirectly by strikes, wnue no actual count was possible, the total of those out of work probably exceeded five mil lion or nearly 10 percent of the total working force. The LJDor department reported about t per cent ef the eiriUae labor force waa unemployed I a January, a aiiable jump ever the v percent out of work m the first month of 1949. The booming, steel Industry ap parently lost its daring gamble that the strike would be settled before coal stocks reached the critical stage, v Unless the coal situation changes quickly, this will be the last week of high activitiy In the steel mills for some time. The authoritative weekly "iron age" said coal stocks were so low that some mills would cut blast furnace operations by 75 percent.
