He reports in the first of August New Pennies Cause Change Troubles There has been considerable com plaint about the close similarity in appearance between the new zinc coated penny and the regular dime. The two look much alike and it has resulted in errors unintentional and sometimes intentional in the mak ing of change and in payment of goods and services, according to B. C. Pinckney, manager of the Hepp ner branch of the First National Bank of Portland. Pinckney further stated that vig orous complaint has been made and a request was made to the United States mint for consideration of means to overcome the confusion with the public. In response to this request, Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the mint, responded with a com plete explanation on the use of the new metal in minting the pennies, the letter reads in part: "Zinc-coated steel was adopted for this coin because it was the only metal the WPB could allot for that ' purpose; it had already withdrawn copper by reason of war needs. Even plastics were denied. "The practicability of perforating the coin to eliminate confusion with other coins has been fully considered but rejected primarily because the resultant reduction in the weight would' render it unfit for use in merchandising machines. Also, because a hole in the head of Lincoln would scarcely be accept able to the public. . The develop ment of a new design would have caused un justifiable delay in getting coinage under way, the demand for one-cent pieces having been heavy and urgent A change in shape would present difficulty in stacking. Darkening the coin prior to its is suance would entail more difficul ties than can be explained in a letter. "You will be gratified to know that the change in the composition of this minor coin meant an annual saving of enough copper to meet the combined needs of 2 cruisers, 2 destroyers, 1245 flying fortresses, 120 field guns and 120 howitzers or enought for one and one quarter million shells for our big field guns."

Forest trees which give us our lumber, our pulpwood, plywood, and countless other daily necessities, produce most useful wood in their early and middle life. Good forestry and good management calls for harvest ing mature trees before decay sets in and makes them less valuable to the nation, creating a breeding place for destructive insects and disease. Good forest management creates a cycle of continuous tree crops. That is the basis on which this company operates with an eye on today ... an eye on tomorrow. Ki mzua Pi ne Mills Co.
