Do You Know of a Man
Who Looks Like Washington?
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Feb. 16 (U.R) Look up and down Main street,
folks. You may find Just the man Paul Green is looking for to
play the role of George Washington.
Green, a Pulitzer prize-winning playwright, is completing a
new symphonic drama, featuring the father of our country. The
drama will have Its world pre-
miere here in connection with
the National Capital Sesquicen-
tennial.
The playwright says all the
bars are down on the' search.
He'll take for the part a profes
sional, an amateur, a hayshaker,
a butcher, or a guy who runs a
cement mixer.
"I'm not going to leave any
talent unturned," Green said.
"I'm even going to look at all the
drama schools in the country."
The qualifications are not simple.
"The man to play George
Washington must be a rugged
heavy, almost craggy person,"
said Green. "He must at times
be a jovial character. At other
times he must be deadly serious.
He should have big hands, a big
featured face, with wide spaced
level, penetrating eyes."
The author didn't mention it,
but it probably would help the
man after the job if he knows
how to belt a cherry tree with
a hatchet and is willing to swear
on a stack of good books that
he never told a lie.
"His lips should be slightly
heavy," Green said, "not beauti
ful. Not ugly. He must have
a voice of authority, for Wash
ing always spoke with such a
voice."
The man who will play George
Washington must be a little over
50 years of age. He ought to
have gray hair, although a wig
could fix that up and probably
jvill anyhow; he must be slightly
grizzled and should be taller
than the average.
Green and Edward Boykin, the
director of the Sesquicentennial,
were talking it over and had to
admit they couldn't quite find
the exact words to describe the
man they are looking for.
The history books say that
Washington was "at all times'
vivid, vital personality. A pro
fessional could put on that act;
an amateur would have to have
it in the first place.
And the man who portrays his
personality and character must
possess the innate quality of a
"noble gentleman. '
Above all, the fellow they're
seeking must live and work in
America.
"Surely," Green said, "there
are scores of Americans who
know a 'George Washington.'
Maybe he lives on the farm
behind your back 40 acres.
He might ride to work with
you on the street car. Take
another look at your grocery
clerk."
Anyway, if you know a
"George Washington," drop Paul
Green a line in care of the Na
tional Capital Sesquicentennial
in Washington, D.C., and send
along a photograph of your candidate.

Greatest Year
For Telephones
The year 1949 was "our year
of greatest service to the pub
lic," Mark R. Sullivan, presi
dent of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company stated
in the company's annual report
received here Wednesday by E.
A. Berglund, local telephone
manager.
"The $154,100,000 put into
construction in 1949," Sullivan
continued, "brought our post
war total to more than half a
billion dollars probably a
larger investment and a greater
addition to the assets of the Pa
cific west than that of any other
company.
"In the great war-and-post-war
migration of people to the
far west, the population of the
area we serve has grown by
some five million," Sullivan
stated. "That's a good part of
all the population gained by the
entire nation. Since 1940 the
population increase for the
states Pacific Telephone serves
has been over 53 per cent and
increase for the balance of the
nation has been less than 10
per cent. Many of the problems
we've faced have their roots in
this growth, and in the growing
prosperity of the coast which
has resulted In a sharply in
creased demand for service."

Winter Takes-Heavy Toll in
Oregon Douglas Fir Regions
Portland, Feb. 16 Old Man Winter took a heavy toll of
lumber production in the Douglas fir . region as output from
west coast sawmills in January dropped off more than 50 mil
lion feet a week below December figures, according to H. V.
Simpson, executive vice president of West Coast Lumbermen's
association.
Deep snows, frozen log ponds
and low temperatures closed
hundreds of the region's lumber
manufacturing plants, Simpson
said, and many have not operat
ed since the Christmas holidays.
Logging camps are virtually all
battened down tight, except for
a few along the Oregon and
Washington coast.
Freezing weather cut sharply
into shipments, Simpson point
ed out, and only 577,772,000
board feet were loaded out dur
ing January, some 32 million
below December. Gross stocks
at mills dropped in the face of
short production to 594,720,000
board feet, lowest in 16 months
while unfilled order files jump
ed to 804,320,000 board feet as
orders continued briskly.
The weekly average of West
Coast lumber production in Jan
uary was 133.342,000 b.f. or
81.8 of the 1945-1949 average.
Orders averaged 213,633,000
b.f.; shipments 148,095,000 b.f.;
weekly averages for December
were: production 184,427,000
(113.1 of the 1945-1949 aver
age); orders 174,994,000 b.f.;
shipments 187,113,000 b.f.
Four weeks of 1950 cumula
tive production 577,772,000 b.f.;
four weeks of 1949, 609,837,000
b.f.; four weeks of 1948, 870,
463,000. Orders for four weeks of 1950
breakdown as follows: rail 657,
204,000 b.f.;, truck 20,365,000
b.f.; domestic cargo 207,351,000
b.f.; export 6,500,000 b.f. Local
34,250,000 b.f.
The industry's unfilled order
file stood at 804,320,000 b.f. at
the end of January. Gross stocks
at 594,730,000.
Better Markets
Seen for State
Oregon's fruit and nut crops
are expected to find somewhat
better market conditions in 1950
than existed in 1949, according
to the latest agricultural situa
tion outlook circular issued by
the Oregon State college exten
sion service. The circular
ready for distribution by county
extension agents
What happens to national in
come will have much effect on
prices, but prospects beyond
1950 are more favorable for
fruits than for nut crops be
cause nut production will in
crease faster, according to L. R
Breithaupt and M. D. Thomas
extension economists.
Large crops in Oregon and
the nation sent prices tumbling
in 1949 but production in 1950
is likely to be smaller. Carry
over of canned and frozen fruits
at the start of the processing
season is also expected to be less
than last spring. Retail prices
of canned fruits have been low
compared to other foods.
Fruit production in this coun
try has almost doubled in the
last JO years but the bearing
acreage declined a little. The
sharp decline in apple and prune
acreage is now being reflected
in smaller crops. Further in
creases in national production
of pears, peaches, cherries, or
anges, and all kinds of tree nuts
are expected. Strawberry, mar
ket prospects are considered fav
orable but production may soon
be back to the prewar level.
Except for gooseberries, produc
lion of other small fruits is up
to or above the prewar average.
Altogether, the outlook re
port contains three charts, sev
eral tables, and sections dis
cussing the immediate and long-
term prospects fruit and nut
crops which have been worth
around $30,000,000 to Oregon
growers in each of the last two
years.
