American shipyards set a new ship construction record in April, com­ pleting and delivering thirty-six mer­ chant vessels. The record exceeds the one-a-day schedule which was set up for April and brought the record for the first four months of 1942 to 104 merchant ships placed in war vice 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. Belle Knife Hospital A Nine Day Trip To Plywood For New San Franóso And Construction Is Return Mach Effjoyecf Visualized By Assn (Continued from Page 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.
