Dead line Sunday Classified It Noon Saturdays, I Lumber Industry Shows How A major change in lumber use practices, a change which has come about in the last five years, is permitting greater utilization of the raw product which comes out of the forests in the form of logs, is increasing sawmill operators profits and is aiding i i i . i i j . i greauy in Keeping Dunamg costs aown. ? "THE change, according to Arthur Priaulx, public re- lations director of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, who visited Medford this week, was the result of concerted and well planned efforts of the lumber industry. Always, as Priaulx explained, it had been the practice to closely grade output and to destroy or at least market at greatly reduced prices the less desir able lumber. e e e a TT HAD, of course, been realized that much of this lower class output could be utilized in some phases of building without sacrificing structural strength, lasting qualities or beauty. With the plentiful supply of timber, keen com petition and comparatively low prices for even the finest cn-ades. however, there seemed no way to in duce builders to accept and use the lower classifica tions. THE war and its afternath of heavy building and the inevitable accompaniment of diminishment in easily accessible stands of timber gave opportunity lor inauKUiauun 01 an auveiu&mu campaign, ex plaining the availability of the so-called economy grades and how they could be used. The results were almost miraculous, according to Priaulx who said west coast mills now have an al most unlimited market for lumber which in former years was in such light demand that it represented more of a liability than an asset. "THE lumbermen's experience in developing a mar- ket for their lower grade product may hold some hope for other industries where the margin between profit and loss depends to too great an extent on tne amount of cullage. If, for instance, our pear producers were able to realize some profit from the tons of fruit which now go to the cull pile, it would give the business a far rosier tinge. E.C.F. Eugene Talks Museum Eugene, where plans for a museum have long lain dormant, is now getting steamed up for action on the matter. George Hitchcock, who heads the Old Oregon Trail Pageant board, has suggested that the project be tied in with the pageant, making this not only "pageant year," but "pioneer museum year." The pageant is staged every jthree years. DACK in 1936, the old postoffice building at Eugene was acquired from the government for museum a-. Ti .1 n, i il a I purposes, snortiy aiterwara tne government oegan renting portions of the building for various federal ae-encies which lacked housintr. It is now proposed that the building be sold back to the government and that proceeds from the sale be used in helping to secure another building for a museum. 1MUCH material is still available in Lane county for museum display, purposes but it is feared that many items may be lost to the museum unless early provision is made for their proper display.

UANTAOtnow what I think we if HOW ABOUT A COW-BRUTE THAT WOULD CUT OUT 90 PER CENT STEAK? Such a critter would supply a long-felt want here in America, where EVERYBODY wants steak. WHY docs everybody want steak? Here's one reason: Steak costs more. If it costs more, it must be belter- We Americans crave the best. Then there's the situation that arises when you take company out to the restaurant. You want 'em to know the best is none too good when you're paying the bill. So you talk up the biggest steak on the menu. (Your guests, figuring If you're that big a sap they might as well take you. go along with the idea and order steak.) H ERE'S another merit of steak: You pick it out at the butch- hi p all nhanc, put it in the freezing compartment and come dinner time you slap it in a skillet and in three minutes it's all ready to go. Just like that! We modern Americans AIM TO SPEND AS LITTLE TIME AS POSSIBLE SLAVING IN THE KITCHEN. WE GOT the Idea a while back that the white meat of the turkey is IT. What happened? Why, we bred turkeys shaped like a pigeon-breasted dowager showing off a diamond stomach er. Mostly WHITE MEAT- That was the idea. The old-type hog ran heavily to tummy. The tummy of surh a pig practically dragged the ground, and our cruder ancestors I referred scornfully to the meal I made from it as "sowbelly," and I yelled to "eat high on the hog." I The outcome of It all was I new type of shoat that ran ! heavily to ham and treak-of-lean-streak-of fat bacon. Ain't science wonderful? By VIRGINIA MaePHERSON United Pre!

Even after they check the facts they get it hay wire." names around who'll sit still for names around who's sit still for practically any interviewer on practically any subject. His home's always open to photog raphers. He figures he probably couldn't have one that big if it weren't for reporters and cameramen- But he does wish they'd print the truth. "Take that run-in I had with the cop at MGM, he said. "I'd forgotten my pass and the guy was shoving me around. When he found out I was Glenn Ford he was all apologies. He said he thought I was an extra. Error Printed "That made me mad. Why should he be nice to Ford and act like a nazi to the little guys? I told him he'd bet ter be just as nice to extras and carpenters, etc." Two days later the missus greeted him at dinner with: "What've you been doing to the studio gateman?" "A columnist had printed I blew my top because the gate man didn't recognize me," Ford moaned. "What's a guy gonna do? If I even have a business date with a lady the stories start that I'm playing around. Ye gods!" Ulcer Story Out Take the day he gulped a glass of milk during an interview Wham out comes the story: "Glenn Ford has ulcers." "I got letters from all over the world from people who were honestly worried about my health." Glenn said. ' And that dame didn't even ask me why I was drinking milk. Made the whole thing up.
