Becoming Air Minded
News stories in this issue of the Gazette Times
leads one to believe that we are becoming air
minded, and well we may. There is every reason
for this nation and the world to look to aviation
not only as a means of prosecuting war but as a
common means of transportation in the future
transportation of passengers, freight, express and
mail.
With the return of thousands of highly trained
airmen to civilian life aviation is scheduled to ex
perience a growth paralleling that of the automo
bile industry after the first world war. A town or
district without a training school in aviation will
be considered back-woodsy or at least not up to
date. The airplane is here to stay and will become
more and more a part of our everyday life.

Lumber for Home Building
Persons contemplating home building will find
a word of cheer in a report released by the Na
tional Lumber Manufacturer association, Wash
ington D. C. Early relief for the home building
market, long starved of lumber by military neces
sity, is seen by Henry Bahr, director, economic
and statistical services of the national associa
tion. More than 80 per cent of current lumber
production, he report, is now moving freely into
civilian channels.
Mr. Bahr sums up the favorable and unfavor
able points in the lumber situation in the follow
ing paragraphs.
Since the current rate of lumber production,
while substantially lower than peak war-time
levels, is about 20 percent above the pre-war rate,
the present rate of civilian supply is at least as
great as in the pre-war period.
"Of course, the pipeline must be pumped full
again. Stocks at retail yards are at an all time low
as a result of diversion to military uses, and a
substantial part of production during the next 60
or 90 days will be needed to restore minimum
working inventories. It is not probable that stocks
will reach pre-war levels in the near future, but
lumber is now moving to consumers in substantial
volume and should be adequate to meet immedi
ate construction requirements.
"Available manpower is inadequate and gov
ernmental restrictions are retarding production in
some areas. OPA, for example, refuses to make
price adjustments as long as 75 percent of an in
dustry is breaking even or making a profit. In
lumber, many of the marginal operators, repre
senting the other 25 per cent have been closing
and more may be expected to close.
"While the labor supply situation is improv
ing slightly, the gradual return to a 40-hour week,
at the insistance of the unions in the west, prob
ably will prevent any increase in production. In
the final analysis, ceiling price limitations and
curtailment of hours will probably mean further
declines but it is anticipated that total production
will remain above the pre-war date during the
coming twelve-month."
