the one-a-day schedule which was set
up for April and brought the record

Preparations Far
^isoster Relief
With the promise of more equip
ment, as made this week by Dean
James Landis, head of the office of
civilian defense in a Seattle visit,
Coos county civilian defense officials
advised the public today that, **We*ll
stay here and take it” if enemy bombs
are dropped on coast communities.
While steps have been taken to
evacuate non-essential workers in
certain instances, the OCD believes
any Japanese plane raids will be
token attacks, designed to avenge
American bombing of Nipponese
cities. If and when enemy planes are
sighted over Coos county, air raid
wardens will notify all residents in
each block to black-out, fire watch
ers, fire reserves and other auxiliary
agencies will turn out to quell flames
started by incendiary bomba, and
rescue workers
with ambulances,
trained nurses ahd first- aid assist
ants, will take care of all casualties.
Each home-owner, however, is fire
wardFh on his own house, and should
hbtain hose,shovels, sand and hoe
for protection purposes.
. Dean Landis said gas masks, pump
ers and fireboats will be rushed to
fore the tinder-dry season arrives.
WPB Director Donald M. Nelson has
emphasized the importance of civ
ilians staying' close to their jobs in
mills, factories and on the farms,
even though bombings become fre
quent. More damage can be done
by disrupting production of essential
war goods than by bombs themselves,
he pointed out.
Each Coos county community has
an autonomous organization that will
go into action when any disaster oc
curs. The Coquille Unit has been
staging practice drills for inspection
purposes the past few weeks and
all-out drills for feeding, clothing,
transportation, housing and rescue
units will be held later. If one town
has a disaster and another is spared,
workers from Che exempt commun
ity will assist those in the stricken
one.

here in Coquille, and the beach south
of the Cliff House was crowded with
pleasure-seekers, many of them tak
ing a dip in the ocean.
The most poignant moment of our
trip to San Francisco was at noon
Thursday when Miss Carol boarded
¿he United Air Lines plane and took
iff for Los Angeles, where she visited
with a former Coquille girl, Mrs.
Tom McEniry who was Harriet Webb,
mill 3:30 Sunday morning.
Due to army requirements the win
dows of all passenger planes are cov-
red before the plane lands and are
not unveiled until it is again in the
air. The reason, as told us, was that
no fifth columnist nor foreign agent
might spot activities which U. S.
enemies might appreciate knowing,
nor could signals be flashed to br
from some person in the plane or at
the barrier.

Heading north Friday morning the
Coquille party, still of three, for
Maury Williams returned with us,
headed eastward to the Pacific high-
way anti came nome vim um ?
mento valley. It was a most de
lightful ride up the valley, not too
hot, but warm enough to make riding
with the car windows open enjoyable.
North of Redding we saw, but did
not cross, what is said to be the high
est railroad bridge in the world. It
is a joint,railroad and highway struc
ture, the 8. P. having had to rebuild
many miles of track in northern Cali
fornia because of the reservoir Ttrbr
back of the Shasta dam. . _
We stopped that night at Shasta
City, formerly Sissons, and the view
of Shasta mountain next morning,
overed with snow, the sun shining
on it, and a few light clouds veiling a
small portion, was a beautiful and in
spiring sight. We were almost at the
’oot of the mountain, and could en
oy its beauty for miles as we traveled
northward.
At Medford we had a little view oT
the new army cantonment. Travel
through it is now forbidden, but from
the road skirting it on the west side
the buildings seemed to stretch end
lessly, being lost in the distance
against the foothills.
Former Coquille residents, Mr. and
Mrs. H. N. Butler and their daughter
Gertrude, now Mrs. Angus Bolmer,
were seen in Medford. They are en
joying good health, especially Mrs.
Butler, who has not been her former
self for the past Jew yekra. „
The new highway to eliminate so
many of the curves on Sexton moun
tain, north of Gran^ Pass, is still
far from being completed, but should
be done some time next year.
Our car reached Coquille at 5:45
Saturday evening, all of us glad to
reach home.
The month of May is probably the
beat time of the year to makjf such a
trip for the beauties of nature stand
out more distinctly when the entire
earth is fresh from its winter drench
ing, and the sun is not too hot There
was over a week, from Friday noon
until Friday afternoon of the next
week, when the Coquillians saw no
rain, and nature wan at her best.

'Get ready now to go to market
“«“in” “ *»n “ the war is won.
That is the way W. E. Difford, man
aging director of Douglas Fir Ply
wood Association, presented the post
war pattern for plywood to the 150
leaders of that industry when they
met for tfreir. annual business session
here.
He forecast a sweeping upturn in
new construction, especially in homes
and on the farm, with the return of
peace but warned the operators of
thp 31 Pacific Northwest plywood
mills there will be new competitors
In the building field and renewed and
expanded merchandising programs
for all other materials.
"Today the plywood industry is
paying the penalty of leadership,”
wai the manager’s summation point
ing out that the panel»
ington re--
cently have become established as
the material that does more different
building jobs than any other.
' To assure plywood—it’s a house
hold word today—a continued lead
ing role in the post-war economy.
Difford stressed a multi-point pro
gram to be maintained vigorously
during the war period when of ne
cessity all efforts of the industry
must be geared to national needs.
Research of every type will be con
tinued by tile industry-wide pro
motional organization in Tacoma. The
studies will include net only labora
tory experiments to find new uses
and new treatments for plywood, but
also field testing and developments.
Important also is the market research
being carried forward constantly to
ascertain what markets are now
available and what ones can be ex
panded in the future.
must constantly strive for a better
product, and must reduce production
costs through introduction of new
techniques, new machines
"He previously recounted the activ
ities of the industry association dur
ing the past year which saw the pro
duction of plywood climb until it
now la at the rate of two billion
square feet a year. About 90 per cent
of thia output goes directly into Army
and Navy buildings jobs or houses for
war industry workers.
Clay Brown, from the Portland of
fice, represented Smith Wood-Prod
ucts, Inc., at the sessions and he was
named one of the organization’s trus
tees.
