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.

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

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.

"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.
"Some day, I suppose, if 1 ever
