OUT OF- THE WOODS
We Have 'Axis to Grind . . "
That's the sign a friends of
mine saw on the filing shed of a
logging camp high up in the Cas
cades. It was a small truck out
fit, new-built, from bunkhouse to
brow log. The area to be logged
was country that stood on end,
and it used to be classified as "in
accessible." The men of this small outfit
knew, perhaps better than most
loggers, why they were opening
up this timber. The stand was
dense, with mixed fir and hem
lock, the trees mainly old and
ripe, the boles clean and straight,
often up to a hundred and more
feet Here was a lot of aircraft
lumber, ship decking, and prob
ably quite a few long, large clear
keel timbers for the new fleet of
submarine-sinkers. This was war
logging nothing else.
The saw flier was a veteran
of the weeds fend also or World
war L He had three sons in the
navy, and each was now in soma
base overseas. A timber filler
my friend talked to was also a
service dad, with one boy in the
army and one in the merchant
marine. There were others of
the erew who had a flesh-and -.blood
tie p with the war.
"We Have 'Axis' to Grind," was
real stuff to them.
Around a year from now well
have from six to seven million
men under arms, the war man
power commission calculates.
There are two million in uniform
right now, and more than four
million will be in service by the
end of the year. By 1944, says this
commission, there must be a force
of 20 million in direct war pro
duction, and another 12 million
must be in the fields for the 1943
harvest Shipbuilding and ord
nance employees will be tripled,
aircraft boosted four times, and
government employment in navy
yards, army arsenals and air de
pots raised five fold. So the war
manpower commission sees the
prospect
All that means more and more
and more basic industrial mate
rials steel, aluminum, copper
and WOOD. In practically all such
expansion, lumber has to be the
first material on the Job. One
prime example is new shipways
timber-framed. Then the first
Job on the new way it : starts
with lumber, scaffoldings.. And so
on, anywhere you look:
That's why Mr. Nelson has
pat lumber up in the very top
rank of war Indus tries. And
why each man in the small lor-xing-
outfit cited knows he Is a
real soldier of vital war production.
By this time next year every
man of us will find himself in
the place his ability can fill best
and it . will be for the duration.
It's all on a voluntary basis now,
The war production board Is put
ting on a big drive to keep it that
way. Before long you will see its
posters on lumber as a vital war
industry up around the sawmills
and in the woods.
But the timber f aller I was tell
ing about won't need posters to
inform him that his work on tim
ber to build the submarine sink
ers at record speed is No. l.war
work. He has a personal interest
in protecting that boy who is a
seaman on a tanker.
The veteran saw filer doesn't
need to be urged to keep up the
work tools of the woods just as
his boys In a navy anti-aircraft
gun crew keep np their fighting
tools. He is one mas who will
not forget Pearl Harbor while
he lives the weeks of suspense
then the wonderful news that
the kids had come through.
