PROB LEWIS OF LOG INDUSTRY TO BE HEARD WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (IP) Senator Wallgren (D-Wash.) said today he hoped hearings to be started tomorrow by a senate's national defense investigating committee would help solve some of the problems of the Pa cific northwest lumber Industry. The senator said logging oper ations in the Pacific northwest were faced with an acute man power shortage and much of the timber was used In national de fense production. He said the tax program acted to slow down pro duction of timber above the nor mal output and suggested an In, crease in price to balance the ad ditional income taxes levied un der the next tax law. Released for Cutting "Our section of the country produces fir, hemlock, cedar and spruce that goes into our war production," Wallgren said. "We would like to increase produc tion but are faced with a man power shortage and the new tax program tends to slow down any Increase. If the producers were allowed enough increase in price for production over normal to balance the additional income tax they will have to pay I feel certain lt would be an Incentive for greater output." The senator said much of the timber in Washington was owned by the federal government and some of it could be released for cutting. He said putting idle lum ber mills closed during recent years back into production "la not a simple matter. Wallgren returned from the west coast to be present when the committee opens Its hearings tomorrow.

Tt Isn't just the holiday rush! It Isn't mor customers, big orders and lota of thoml . No I Your grocer's problem today are far more serious than that.. Already, he's beginning to face shortages of certain foods. Not that there won't be plenty to eat! But we're certainly not going to find the same lavish assortments and the big displays we've been used to. We won't be able to pick and choose with the same pre-war freedom. We're not going to like that' None of as. -We may even be annoyed and impatient. So, when your grocer says, "Sorry, Vm aC out," or, "I hope to have what you want next week it ought to be in" how should you take it? , .: In the name of fair play don't blame your grocer. Instead, remember IT IS NOT YOUR GROCER'S FAULT. It is not the packer's fault Nor the grower's. It isn't tnybody's fault. If s Just Plain War That's what the trouble is! Last summer, for instance, Del Monte put up more fruits and vegetables than ever before.' We filled every can and every glass jar we could handle and till keep Del Monte Quality right up where it always has been. 5 'This called for teamwork all along the Tina, We needed all the help we could get- So even our salesmen pitched in. Stenographers traded typewriters for canning tables. Week end - meant work but work meant more food. . Even at that it wasn't enough. America has more hungry' mouths to feed . man. ever. Millions morel. Our. .fighting men tt homo and , all over the world, Out allies I Our home folks with bigger pay checks and bigger wartime appetites! Who Takes It On Th Chin? Who's caught in the middle? Why, your j grocer. .' He wants to give you the foods you want That's what he's in business for. But he has less to sell. Deliveries to him are often slow and uncertain because the men and machines of war must move even ahead of food. That's why youTl sometimes find empty spaces on his shelves. He's hard-pressed for help, too. And he feels the pinch on tires and gas far mora than most of us do. Of course he can't come through with the service he used to give yon. It isn't humanly possible! What Can W AM Do About ItT Your grocer can't work out these problems all by himself. It's a job we'va all got to tackle together. On our part, we are dividing no, among our ' distributors, what Del Monte Foods there are fairly and squarely. But we, as producers, are doing much more than that Right now, in the big national mag azines, we are introducing a brand-new wartime shopping program based on the broad plan of HELP FOR THB CONSUMER HELP FOR THE GROCER HELP FOR THB WHOLE COUNTRY through the intelligent cooperation of all.

Then buy as many as possible of the foods you need for a week in one grocery order. Not just the canned goods you neeo! but your other staples, too. Also, shop early in the week tf yen can and when the store isn't crowded. . . Make one trip do the work of several Every trip you don't make saves time. It saves steps, work, tires and gasoline.
