The Oregon State Board of
Health has been faced with a
great shortage of public health
nurses. They are meeting this
problom by appealing to former
public health nurses to resume
their duties. New units are be
ing formed In counties not for
merly organized, where canton
ments and war industries have
within recent months been es
tablished. This requires an ad
ditional numbor of personnel In
cluding public health nurses,
and as a result a redistribution
of active, public health nurses
is underway. Adding to the
shortago is the fact that many
nurses have gone Into the armed
forces.
Recently the nurse In Lake
vlow was transferred to Benton
county where a new unit has
been established, and as a result
has left a vacancy in Lake coun
ty. The division of nursing Is
meeting the shortage in various
counties by asking full-time
heulth units In adjacent coun
ties to assist In nursing service.
The Klamath county health unit
has been requested to supply a
nurse on a part-time basis to
Lake county, and has also re
quested that this resulting va
cancy in our unit be filled by
asking former public health
nurses to return to work dur
ing the emergency.
Mrs. Naomi Miller has con
sented to meet this emergency
by taking over a district during
the absence of Miss Stout, who
has been appointed to Lake coun
ty on a part-time basis. Mrs.
Miller is a former public health
nurse of Klamath county and
worked for a period of five years
with the Klamath Falls city
scnoots. She assumed her new
duties January 27, and will
cover the Kono and Weyer
haeuser districts. ,

ESTEEM LUIKK MPtlflIM
ON January 25th we announced that on Feb
ruary 15th we would start our 1943 lumber
production program. This is a WAR PRODUC
TION PROGRAM.
1
Our job in the war effort is to produce lumber
essential to supply food and munitions to
the men in our armed forces. When we say
"our," we mean each and everyone of us, from
the man on the pond who starts the logs to the
sqws to the men who close the doors on the rail
way cars when the lumber and shook has been
loaded for shipment; from the men and women
in our executive and clerical forces to the man
in the executive office upon whose shoulders
rests the managing responsibility. Each indi
vidual is essential, and our collective effort
should be to achieve the maximum over-all year
ly production during the coming 1943 season.
We are proud of the war production record
made at our plant for 1942. We take this
opportunity to compliment the employees who
made this record possible. Despite the most ad
verse logging conditions in years, due to heavy
weather, and the shortage of manpower, we pro
duced in 1942 sufficient lumber to exceed by ten
per cent the annual rated capacity of our plant.
1AE are starting the 1943 operating season
under the handicap of a serious log short
age and in the face of continued bad weather
coupled with impossible ground conditions.
Heretofore we have gone into the year's produc
tion with a reserve of from fifteen to eighteen
million feet of logs. This'year we are from sev
en to ten million feet short of our usual supply.
As a result, the opening date has been delayed
fifteen days later than usual, in order to avoid
later wasteful interruption.
Because of these handicaps we were unable,
prior to January 18th, to make an announce?
ment that would promise either steady employ
ment for you during the spring season, or insure
maximum lumber production for 1943.
IN this WAR PRODUCTION program
it is of
utmost importance to you, and to us, that all
personal ambitions and desires, any of us may
have, be laid aside in favor of honest endeavor,
in order to obtain the maximum over-all produc
tion of critical materials, to the end that not one
of our boys in the armed forces shall suffer for
lack of production on our part. To produce such
volume in 1943 will require intelligent and loyal
cooperation between employees and manage
ment. All efforts should be coordinated, that
maximum efficiency may be attained. Let us be
SINGLE-MINDED, UNDIVIDED and CONSE
CRATED to this PURPOSE.
AS a result of the recently held National Labor
Relations Board election, Local Union No.
6-12 International Woodworkers of America,
C.I.O. was certified as the collective bargaining
agency for all our production and maintenance
employees.
W believe in the principle of collective bar
gaining, and recognize that a well-organized
Union under fair and intelligent leadership,
interested in the success of the industrial en
terprise in which its members are employed, can
render a most worthy service toward all-out war
production in these critical times. We believe
that collective bargaining in good faith, with
honest purpose on both sides, is a primary requi
site to secure lasting benefits between labor and
management.
As this requisite is fundamental for both labor
and management, then, in order to coordi
nate our efforts toward maximum production, it
is important that both sides choose able repre
sentativesmen of unquestioned integrity, men
whose purposes are of good intent, who have
proven their judgment to be sound, and who are
capable of dealing satisfactorily in conference
with problems confronting operations. The man
agement is mindful of its responsibilty to war
production, and to the problems of labor. We
are confident that a very great majority of our
employees are equally mindful of their responsi
bilities. AT the same time there has been a very small
minority, a very few of our employees, who
have continuously criticized management's pur
poses and efforts, and who recently have at
tempted to throw the Company in a bad light
with government agencies and others. In ordi
nary times we would not offer this criticism, be
cause we realize from experience that there are
always a few individuals, usually uninformed, who
are ever criticizing, but since, AT THIS TIME,
THIS OPERATION IS AN IMPORTANT COG
in the war effort of this Nation, we must not fail
to call to your attention that such individuals,
whether malicious or innocent, can create ill
feeling, and spread unfounded rumors which can
only result in harm to our collective war produc
tion effort, and, in effect, give direct aid to the
enemies of this Nation and threaten the safety
' of us all.
We see no good purpose in such acts which
attempt to influence opinion away from har
monious relations, causing loss of faith' and
good will and destroying productive effort. To
take our place alongside of other American in
dustries on the production front of 1943, it is
necessary that Men and Management embrace
a single motive FAIR DEALING and we must
oppose anyone whose influence will deter or in
terfere with any plan of Men and Management
working together in this war production program.
WORKING TOGETHER, we have the initiative,
resourcefulness, and organizing ability to pro
duce the lumber that is necessary to help win
the war..
In order to centralize this strength, we trust the
employees will place in Union Office, and on
the Committee with whom management will
deal, men who are qualified to meet the chal
: lenge of the War Demands leaders whose char
acter and patriotism is unquestioned and who
will strive to work harmoniously with manage
ment for the duration.
W1
rE realize full well that those few who have
been criticizing may seize upon this sug
gestion as a new target, inferring that manage
ment is seeking to dictate the control of the
Union. We shall be fearless of such criticism.
The emergency of war alone challenges every
organization, whether employees or employer, to
provide strong, capable leadership. The great
majority of the employees in our operation rec
ognize such quality of leadership is necessary to
assist management in building a working , or
ganization capable of meeting any war-time
emergency, as well as gaining strength for their
own Union.
We should like to join, Employees and Employer,
in this pledge: "We, as Americans, shall work
together, tolerating neither obstacles nor indi
viduals who would sabotage or deter our produc
tive efforts, until final Victory is won, and the
safety of our Nation and its people is again se
cured.", KESTERSON LUMBER CORPORATION
