Again I've had to put up an out size mailbox. And I've just spent three hours for lunch, gadding through government bulletins, political leaflets, a lot of indus try facts and figures and an as sortment of mail advertising. Here are some items that gave me to cogitate. One, a statement that the earnings of the nation wire construction industry swell ed up from $20,000,000,000 in 1947 to $30,000,000,000 in 1951, with $32,000,000,000 estimated for 1952. The market is running with population gains that may amount to a rise from 151,000,- 000 persons in the U.S.A. of 1950 to 180,000,000 in 1960. If I've mentioned this before, it is worth repeating. What it can mean to us here is in sight when I step out from boom-pond shack to the creaking old booms and crumbling cat walk and look up and down the bay shore. There's new growth of trees, tall and little, as far as 1 can see. The smokes of three sawmills, two of them very small, one mighty large, drift above the green. A good hundred tree land owners are in the area and several hundred "timber-wage-earners. Mills and Men ... One of the government bulle P&i P t - to add telephones -Sf: l4' ob i ' today -S . telephone fcfP ' V - . i I v $7fl investment for each new telephone mmlMi,m adlel 6 year Pr8War Per'0d Inflation has more than doubled the cost of building the facilities we must have to put a new telephone to work: What inflation's done to your telephone Our dollars buy less and less of the things we need to bring you good service 1 . One of the brightest spots in your budget today is the tele phone. ..for the prices we charge have gone up much less than those of most other things you buy. In fact, taking 1940 as the starting point, Pacific Telephone prices are 61 per cent behind the average price increases of other things. On the other hand, we're up against a serious problem in furnishing good telephone service to you. For our dollars buy less equip ment and supplies, fewer employee working hours smaller amounts of all the things we need to build and operate a tele phone system than at any time since the first telephone was installed in the West 75 years ago. 1 7VS Our operating expenses $96 I - 7 ; ' Qf and taxes have per I I 1 j "yCV 53 per telephone in 1940' - I 2. For easy figuring, we've worked out our expenses on the basis of one telephone. And, as you can see, running our sys tem costs much more today than it used to. The two big reasons are inflation and higher taxes. Consider their effect: On the average, wage rates of telephone people today are more than double what they were in 1940; while operating taxes on the average telephone have also soared more than 100 since 1940 to their present all-time high.' m Pacific Telephone fe rests tins outlines the national forest industry network in figures of 60,000 sawmills, 650 veneer and plywood plants, 325 shingle mills, 6,000 wholesale dealers in forest products, 26,000 retail lumber establishments, 1,800 millwork and planing mills, 40, 000 building contractors. . Construction is the major mar ket for forest products, as it is for steel, cement and clay pro ducts. Construction enterprises range from under-river tunnels to skyscrapers and even these require much wood but simple houses, stores, barns, schools and related structures form its chief division, measured in dollar re turns. , The home and farm builders rely on lumber and plywood for basic building materials and on wood shingles and shakes for popular types of roofs and side wall coverings. There is no lack of lumber supply in sight in Southern, Northeastern und Lake States sources. Trees are growing there, as in the North west. The market remains high ly competitive. Pulp Billions ... The wealth earned annually from sales of pulp, paper, board and kindred products is not up to the $30,000,000,000 in con struction industry earnings but it compares well with the share Tutiday, Auguit S. 1952 . of construction money that comes back to the woods. National woodpulp production grew from 7,000,000 tons in 1939 to 14,800,000 tons in 1950. Dur ing the same period the annual dollar volume of woodpulp pro ducts swung up from $1,800,000, 000 to $6,800,000,000. The United States imported more than 5,000,000 tons of the 30,000,000 tons of paper consum ed by the country in 1950. The imports were principally from Canada. The U.S.A. will be an importer of paper for years to come, say the experts, not for lack of woodpulp timber supply but because the building of pro duction units has not kept up with the rate of tree growth na tionally. It is the young crops that count in the pulp and paper field.' Utilizing young .pine growth, Louisiana stands second to Washington among woodpulp producing states. Maine, where timber harvesting began in 1634, is third. v - You can still start a sawmill on a shoestring but it takes ten millions to start a pulp mill. That kind of investment calls for faith in our, kind of govern ment. DRYER PLAYS TUNE Mansfield, O. (U.R) En gineer W. A. Wasemann of the Westinghouse Corp., appliance plant here has developed a new device for an automatic clothes dryer. When a' load of laundry is finished, the dryer plays the tune, "How Dry I Am." Our 5.3 In this dollar the added period , I J. . , li 3. Adding a new telephone since the war costs about twice as much as before the war. Yet the profit per telephone in 1951 was up only slightly over 1940 about a dollar a year. As aTesuhVthe profit on our investment in facilities for each new telephone has been more than cut in half. If s dropped from 5.3 cents on the dollar in 1940 to-23 cents in 1951. Surely, providing good telephone service under such condi tions is a job full of challenge. And it's one we're determined to meet... for perhaps never before has good arid growing service been so important to all the nation. Your telephone ; is one of today's best bargains Perhaps the best way to illustrate how low tele- phone rates are today is to compare our prices with those of other things you use every day food, for instance. If the price of batter, for example, had gone ,up no more, since 1940, than average telephone rates in Pacific Telephone's territory, you'd be able to buy butter today for about 48 cents a pound. .'
