Harold Woods wu a lumber yard operator in Oregon when the call came last year to join the defense program. Since then, as a member of the staff of Lieut. Col. Elmer G. Thomas, constructing quartermaster for Ogden and vicinity, he has helped direct some of the most important of Utah's huge defense projects. When Capt. Woods received his call to active army duty In July, 1940, he was operating two lumber yards, one as owner and the other as manager. He immediately sold his own lumber business, and resigned as manager of the other, which was owned by his father. Utah's big army defense pro gram was just starting to take form when he arrived here. His first assignment was at Ogden air depot where he was placed In charge of construction of the electrical distribution system for this large air corps supply and repair center. To Salt Lake City About September 1, 1940, he was given charge of the con struction of the air corps' new $1,500,000 airdrome and mobili zation centei at Salt Lake City airport. Ho directed construc tion of some 51 frame buildings at the airdrome. With the mobilization center virtually completed and about 1,000 men quartered there, Capt. Woods was transferred to the 37 millimeter shell loading plant, several main units of which are now completed and in operation at Ogden ordnance depot. There he was assigned to the installa tion of utilities for about 100 buildings now finished. At present ha is assigned to the installation of utilities for 63 additional buildings under con struction at the shell loading plant These include under ground electrical ducts, steam lines, sewer lines, water lines and other utilities.

Native of Medford The 37-millimeter shell plant, now starting to produce ammuni tion, is slated to become a major army source of anti-aircraft and anti-tank shells. When In full operation, it is expected to em ploy 3,000 to 4,000 persons. Capt. Woods is a native of Medford, Ore. He attended Medford grammar and high schools and was graduated from Oregon State college at Corval lis with a degree in electrical engineering in 1925. His college courses Included four years of reserve officer training. Upon graduation, he received a commission in the quartermaster reserve.

Editorials in 1919 Journal Voice Hope for World Peace The editorial page of the Oregon Journal of June 29, 1919, is the prized possession of Mrs. Pearl L. Henderson, Eagle Point. The page contains three edi- MISSING BOYS FOUND Seattle, Sept. 30. (AP) The King county sheriff's office re ported this morning that Leo Deters, 17, and Kelly B. Peavey, 16, Seattle high school boys who have been missing since Sunday night in the Cascade foothills near North Bend, have been found and are "well." torials on the World war, the peace treaty of which had just been signed. The editorials, Mrs. Henderson believes, make inter esting reading today because of the new world war raging in all parts of the globe. Referring to the signing of the peace treaty, one of the editorials concluded: "The treaty Is a new charter of self government, human lib erty and international justice and the soul of the great docu ment is the league covenant. It spreads the ideals of America over the world. It makes the Monroe doctrine universal in its application. "What a glorious thing It would be if those of the armies of democracy who sleep where they fell could only know the splendid heritage which they helped lay at the feet of man kind." Another editorial heralded the return to this country of Presi dent Woodrow Wilson after six months of struggle abroad to incorporate his ideals in the Versailles treaty. Tledges alone have never made the fruits of victory se cure," the editorial said. "In our present state of civilization, covenants do not securely bind. So long as treaties cannot alone guarantee that victors are the victors, wars will be in vain and war follow war at Intervals. "The whole history of man has been the fighting over and over again the same war for pretty much the same cause that the original war was fought. It has been so because the war itself has always been consid ered the main thing, and the peace a very minor thing." After telling of President Wil son's struggle to write a new kind of peace treaty and estab lish a league of nations, the editorial concluded: "Civilization is under a new charter. The great governments of the world are working under a new plan. The noblest tribunal of all time has ordained a new order. The cause for which mil linns died in battle is saved and secured to Christendom." The third editorial, titled "The Sentence," told of the peace terms accepted by Germany. After summarizing the principal terms and referring to the repa rations yet to be figured, the editorial asked: "Yet, considering the blood and tears shed, weighing the hideous cost and meaning of the war, who will say that In any single item the judgment of the cr.urt of civilization exceeds justice, or that in any single detail it goes beyond restitution. reparation and guarantees?" Cedarwall lo Handle Yule Box Sales Here For American Frail Anticipating Its largest volume of gift package business this year, American Fruit Growers. Inc., has transferred John Ceder wall to its Oregon division and named him sales manager In charge of the entire Christmas box deal, Gordon R. Green, di vision manager here announced today. Mr. Cederwall has formerly been employed by the company at Seattle and Wenatchee, Wash. Mr. Green said that Mr. Ceder wall has had a great deal of sales and merchandising experi ence. Mrs. Cederwall has taken up residence with her husband here. Robert W. Crutchfield, form erly in charge of the gift pack age business, has been trans ferred to the advertising depart ment in Chicago. With Mrs. Crutchfield and their baby, he left for Chicago last week. "Our gift package deal has grown to such huge proportions that It now requires the atten tion of a large and special sales staff," Mr. Green stated. "Even at this early date, so far from the holidays, we are receiving numerous orders and inquiries about our various gift packages. It is surprising the number of people who make a practice of arranging for their holiday gifts so early in the season as this." Berlin. Sept. 30. (P) The privileges of Jews were further restricted today by a decree of the transport ministry, which the Berlin newspaper Boersen Zeitung predicted would be fol lowed by more stringent meas ures possibly including crea tion of a ghetto. The new decree forbids Jews to enter public conveyances of any sort until all other passen gers have been accommodated. or to sit down if insufficient seats for non-Jews are available. Only recently all Jews were ordered to wear a large yellow star of David on their clothing as a badge of identification, and the Boersen Zeitung said this measure had reopened the eyes of Germans to "the Jewish question," which it asserted "must be solved without senti mentality." Lack Humility "For a large section of our people," the paper said, "it was a disagreeable surprise to see how many of these unwanted contemporaries still live among us, namely In certain quarters of large cities; how many good houses are occupied by them at a time of home shortage; with what a free and easy way they go about the streets as though they were alone there. Berlin police, meanwhile. opened a city-wide drive against profiteering restaurant owners, closing several establishments permanently on charges of boosting food, beer and liquor prices. Fines ranging from 2,000 to 18,000 marks (nominally $800 to $7,000) were Imposed upon offenders. John Sota (above), who said he was 16. told Sheriff Robert E. Goad at Pendleton.

New York, Sept. 30.- The Wall Street Journal said today: "The costliest furs and finest diamonds, vintage cham pagne and silk cravats expen sive goods are booming across retail counters at a rate that hasn't been seen since 1929." "There's some buying," the paper said, "because of specific higher taxes ahead. There's some buying in spite of higher taxes ahead. There's some buy ing that denotes high living and feverish spending a traditional portent of inflation. "One thing is certain: Those who have the money for fancy goods are not letting the outlook cramp their style. "While money is not being spent in quite as big chunks as in 1929, in the aggregate the totals are large.
