An nverage or.S" men are employ ed, working twenty-four hours a day in three eight-hour Hhifts. and the work includes th operation of the lumber yard, saw mills and the handl ing oi all new and old lumber for shipping. While every day the Highland rark plant usea more than 200.00U feet of new lumber in making shipments, tho salvngo department dally reclaims nearly 3na,(m feet of old lumber und converts it Inlo boxes, crates, cleats. braces and other pieces.

Standardization of shipping pack ages has done much to bring greater .efficiency in the lumber conservation program.

At present the salvage department is turning out an average of Ifi.oon boxes and crates a day, und H is not uncommon for a box or crate to have three or four kinds of wood in iU make-up; "'ltecent introduction of bur lap bugs M'or making certain ship ments cut the box requirements' down about 5,000 u day.
