Powerful Figures ...
It is another big political year.
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.

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.

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

tune, "How Dry I Am."

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. .'
