Northwest Sends To Korea
All Lumber For US Forces
Current shipments of lumber to
Korea for use hy United States
armed forces are being supplied
entirely by Pacific Northwest pro
ducers, according to a letter re
ceived from the Department of the
Armv by Jtep. Charles O. Porter
(D-Ore).
The letter from the office of the
secretary of the Army, which was
in answer to a request by Porter
for information on such purchases,
noted that "lumber purchase as
signments are made on the basis
of ultimate delivery point mid, due
to Far East requirements, have re
sulted in tho Portland purchasing
office placing HO per cent of the
total quantity principally with pro
ducers in the Pacific Northwest."
The letter goes on to say that
"current Korean shipments are be
ing supplied 100 per cent by Pa
cilic Northwest producers."
Porter had written to l.t. Col.
Donald T. Kellett. chief of legisla
tive liaison at the Army Depart
ment, asking him specifically where
the bulk of the 500 million board
feet of lumber a year that the De
partment of Defense uses is pur
chased. He further asked where the
Army Has purchasing the 10 to 15
million board feet per month for
shipment to Korea which Col. Kel
lett had earlier mentioned to Port-
Porter had originally proposed to
the Department of the Army, in
view of the present low price of
lumber on the market, that the
Department of Defense set up a
stuekpile program for lumber and
lumber products. He noted that the
stockpile could provide, not only for
defense needs in this country, but
could help to meet commitments
overseas.
In his reply, Colonel Kellett not
ed that "the Department of De
fense has stockpiled lumber during
periods of emergency. However,
experience proved that such a pro
gram was not practical or economi
cal for peacetime use because of
storage costs, increased handling
and shipping cosls, and losses due
to deterioration while in storage."
Kellett said the present policy of
"maintaining a 00-day stock of lum
ber at each using installation has
been found to be the most economi
cal method of meeting military re
quirements." In response to a further request
from Porter, tho letter from the
Department of tho Army said that
"it is questionable whether defense
purchases in themselves would al
leviate the depressed economic sit
uation appreciably since our re
quirements are minor when com
pared to total overall lumber pro
duction. "

Conservation Reserve
Program Is Available
It's not too early for farmers to
begin planning for their participa
tion in the conservation reserve of
the Soil Bank, according to J. F.
Bonebrake, chairman of Douglas
County Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee.
Conservation reserve contracts
to be come effective in 1958 are
expected to be available to farm
ers during the early fall.
The conservation reserve offers
farmers an opportunity to make a
change in their farming operations
and divert a part ot all of their
cropland to adapted soil, water,
forest or wildlife conservation use.
Farmers who take part in the
program sign contracts in which
they agree to take a designated
acreage out of crop production and
devote that land to conservation
uses. Since the land put in the re
serve is taken out of production
for a period of years and is not
harvested or grazed, most farm
ers want plenty of time to make
their, plans.
In return for putting land in the
conservation reserve, a farmer re
ceives two kinds of payments. One
is to pay the major part of the
cost of establishing locally ap
proved conservation measures on
the reserve land. The other pay
ment is an annual payment for
each year of the contract.

SPOKANE, Wash Vfi Richard
.McCollim has lost his sight and
Darrell Brown can't use his legs,
but hand in hand they do pretty
well together.
The sightless McCollira operates
a radio and television repair shop.
Brown, who gets around in a
; wheel chair, paints signs next
J door. .
A reporter who checked up to
jday on word of their cooperative
i setup found McCollim, 26, finger
ling the parts of a broken car
radio. Brown, 44, was out painting
signs.
Blend Talents," Handicaps
They blend talents with handi
caps as normal routine.
"I provide the beef and brawn
in the sign painting," McCollim
said. "I can't see and he's not
strong. He tells me where to
move the signs and I do it. I also
do the carpentry work and round
up a little business."
For his part, the crippled Brown
drives the sightless McCollim
around town to do on-the-spot re
pair work, wheels off on an oc
casional neighborhood errand and
keeps track of his misplaced tools.
They figure they come out about
even.
Brown was stricken with polio
at the age of 40. He has an ice
cream shop on Spokane's North
Side but sign painting is his long
suit. When McCollim moved in
next door, the boys got together.
McCollim started going blind in
the fifth grade. A severe case of
arthritis was responsible. Now he
is totally blind in one eve, can
distinguish only light from dark
in the other.
Unwilling To Retire
Unwilling to retire from a norm
al life, he took up radio and tele
vision, learned to play the saxo
phone and accordian.
After the grades, he attended
a vocational school and was able
to absorb enough of the teacher's
notes and textbook material to get
hy before darkness finaly closed
in. Now he has transcribed techni
cal data from the books to Braille
dots on plastic cards,
j McCollim lives with his parents
I six blocks down the street from
! his shop. Six days a .week he
i shuffles along the sidewalks to
and from work without benefit of
cane or guide dog.
"They're too much trouble," he
said. "I know where' all the ob
stacles are. There are bicycles
around the barber shop and I know
about where to expect the tricy
cles. Four families along the way
have 'em.,
My biggest trouwe is tne lawn
sprinklers that reach to the side
walk. I often come home soak
ing wet. Walk right into the water.
McCollim has become as skilled
walking home in the dark as he
is repairing his sets. Once at a
clinic sponsored by a manufactur
er he won a speed contest from
sighted rivals assembling a T-V.
His biggest on-the-job problem
is checking picture tubes in home
calls. He has to bring along his
mother, his girl friend or Brown
to check the visual quality.
Reporter Watches
The reporter watched him use
a soldering iron on a high fidelity
set he was overhauling. The work
manship was precise and neat, the
soldered joints Solid.
"I got a lot of burned fingers
at first but I mastered it," he
said. "Now I dampen the metal,
lay the solder in place and put
the soldering gun underneath.
When 1 hear the sizzle, I know
I've got it."
Under terms of the cooperative
setup, McCollim hustles business
for Brown who wants to quit the
!ice cream shop to paint full time
: McCollim helps install the signs,
calls clients and has picked up
jobs for Brown from realtors
; and cafes.
Mrs. Brown, a mother of two
children, said she is constantly
amazed at how their talents mesh.
1 "It's a wonderful partnership."
