Out of the Woods By JIM STEVENS Mr. Wilson’s Wood . . . The traditional call, “Tim-buh-r-r!" is heard again in the Pentagon, it echoes through the Office of Defense Mobilization, and Boss Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson relays it on to the woods. There are the big planes. Boeing —a name in the airways like that of Bunyan on the timber trails. Mighty angels of death for any foe, anywhere. Metal flying machines, but they want wood as never before. On an average day as much as 800,000 board feet of Douglas fir— [enough to build 80 five-room homes— is in the storage yards of the Boeing | Airplane company, Seattle. It is used to make crates and boxes for the shipping of plane parts to world- | wide bases. No substitute for the wood railroad tie has been found, and by the same token there's nothing to take the place of wood for a rugged crating job. Some plane crates are big enough for house keep ing in Dogpatch. Boeing's Mr. Chips. . . Boeing, like other giants of Ameri can war plane production, imports | immense amounts of rare foreign woods for special purposes. “Around 20 years ago, when the company began to make all-metal I planes, I figured the best thing I could do was to join the Navy and | learn to be a metal-smith,” says Bert Pearce, Boing’s lumber control super visor. “But wood was still wanted. I Today Boeing’s Seattle division alone is using more timber than we did when planes were made entirely of wood and fabric. So I’m still Boe- ing's Mr. Chips!” A trip around the yard with Bert HAVE A BETTER KITCHEN You may never have considered yourself a "capitalist." but if you're the average American homemaker you are a member of that group whom someone has called "kitchen capitalists It's certainly true that the housewives of our land possess more of the labor saving tools than those in any other part of the world.

Whether for a stroll or a weekend in the woods, leave your house in order—that is to say. keep doors and windows secure and check the valuables on your return. Robbery, and break ing and entry, are April crimes Burglaries and robberies top ma jor crime lists. Law enforcement figures show a continuation of the trend toward an ever-increasing amount of robbery that’s been evi dent since the end of World War II HIGHWAY CRIMINALS: The crime is negligent manslaughter. The criminal could be anybody with recklessness in his blood and recklessness in his heart. The call of Spring sends him out on the broad highways and country roads—he's wild behind the wheel and he takes too many chances There’s no innocent or guilty— only victims!

Each has its own special qualities and particular values for use. Sitka spruce, of course, is .valued as highly as it was in World War I as airplane lumber of uniform strength with lightness and worka bility. Balsa is the wood that amazes. A lumber-handler can waltz with a 4 by 10” balsa plank ten feet long held high in each hand. It is stronger than cork and just as good as a vibration dampener. Boeing's Mr. Chips scouts for air plane spruce not only on our West Coast but on the Queen Charlottes and in Southeastern Alaska, It goes mostly into mockup work and into fittings which metal has never been able to replace. Special Uses. . . West Coast hemlock, ranked as an airplane wood in World War II, has a corner in the Boeing yards. Alder, larch, white pine, the Port Orford and the Alaskan cedars, walnut, oak, popular, birch, are there, and even magnolia is there, in thick timbers, in thin veneers. There is much eastern maple. There is a plank of Honduras mahogany that cost $107 wholesale. It goes into the making of patterns and models which have hard use. Lignum vitae from South America is called for when there is need for a bearing to do a job under water and be lubricated by water. Phillippine mahogany and Western construction of the Boeing cold-test laboratory. Bert Pearce is a teak man. “A wonderful wood,” he declares. “As hard and strong as any wood has to be, and with a natural oil that pre serves it.” Teak is logged in Burma and Siam by elephants and it is worth just about its weight in gold when it gets to Seattle. It crowns Boeing's won derful woodpile. But the bulk of it, and Mr. Wilson’s main concern, remains our own Douglas fir. — Woodrvui Phone 5-4534 141 N.
