OREGON May 88. 194S PLY L TO WOOD IN 00 K FORWARD PEAGET II TACOMA, May 26 (fP) In the midst of whirlwind production to help supply the nation's mili tary needs, northwest plywood manufacturers looked to the fit ture yesterday and were advised to gear their planning to peace time markets. "First, plywood must be pro duced to help win the war," W. K. Difford, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood associa' tion told representatives of the industry in annual convention here. "But also you should pre pare to reenter the regular con. sumer market after the war." Difford's review of the indus try and report came after ply wood men again named N. O, Cruver of Tacoma, president of their trade association.. He is vice president of the Wheeler Os good Sales corporation. Trustees of the all-industry board are T. B. Malarkey and Clay Brown of Portland, J. R. Robinson of Everett and E. W, Daniels of Hoquiam. Daniels al io is chairman of the industry management committee. URGES POPPY SALE Men who served in the first World War were urged to be first to put on a poppy on Poppy Day, Saturday, in a message is sued today by Fred LaForge, commander of Klamath post No. 8 of the American Legion. Recalling the service and sac rifice of the men who fought for America twenty-five years ago, Commander LaForge said: ' "Poppies, made by disabled war veterans, will be offered on the streets all day Saturday by the women of the American Legloii auxiliary. I feel certain that they will be accepted eager ly and worn proudly by all cit izens. I urge that among the first to put them on be the mem bers of the American Legion for we, before all others, should un derstand the significance of the little red flower and should lead the way in paying tribute to the nation's fallen defenders." Janice Barnstable Handles Properties At CPS in Tacoma Janice' Barnstable, freshman at the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma, was recently chosen to be in charge of properties for the CPS chapter of Kappa Phi, the national Methodist women's honorary. Miss Barnstable is the daugh ter of Mattie H. Barnstable, of 123 High street Wendell Currier Gets in Lefi'Handed Slap at Japs By Flying Supplies in India Br THOBURN WIANT Associated Prwi Staff Correspondent WITH AMERICAN AIRMEN OVER NORTHEASTERN IN DIA, May 26 (P) There are thousands of queerly - shaped white clouds all around us, and our pilot, Flying Officer Wen dell Currier, 21. of Klamath Falls, Ore., dodges them as skill fully as Joe Louis docs a po tential haymaker. They aren't particularly dan. gerous, but visibility inside them is zero. We must see where we're going, because we're on an important mission. Our target isn't at all like those I've seen while flying in bombers over the western desert, Burma and Thailand, We aren't going to bomb docks, or arsenals, or refineries, or mo tor transports, or troop concen trations or any other such tar gets that . bombardiers dream about. CorotructWe Mission This is a constructive mission not destructive! Our target is a remote Ameri can outpost, deep in jungle-mat ted hills where white men are as rare as cobras in Kalamazoo, The Yanks on duty there are many days march over back' breaking hills from anywhere. They must be supplied by air and that s our job for today, Our plane is full of bundles. Parachutes are attached to some of them. They contain rice, dal (split peas), vegetables, con densed milk, sugar, salt, beans, tumeric (spices), chillis (red pep pers), tea, cigarettes, mustard oil and corned beef. On subse quent trips, our plane also will drop mail, reading material, clothing, medical, supplies and ammunition. We are nearing what appears to be a solid wall of clouds, but Currier and his co-pilot, Second Lieut Ted Carmack,. 26, . of Brewton, Ala., find a hole and zig-zag into the clear. We can see the hills plainly now. Their primitive beauty is breath-taking. They give me that back-to-nature feeling. - Just About There! I glance 6ver at the other ob server on this trip Capt. Luther Davis, 26. of New York City, who wrote for magazines such as Colliers, New Yorker, Vogue and Liberty before becoming an air corps intelligence officer. His nose is pressed flat against a window. He's staring intent ly at the hills. He'll probably write play about this some day. "We're Just about there," says Private John Budrich, 24, of Brooklyn, N. Y. ' "How tan you tell?" I ask. All the hills seem the same to me. "I've done this so often I just know," he replies. See Target Now I see our target, a little clearing atop one of the lower hills. These fellows will have to be hot shots to hit that Our nlane noses down until we're below the higher peaks and close to the trees. We cir cle the clearing . once, then Budrich and his buddies Pri vates Edward Potter, 21,, of St Louis, and JoseDh W. Auhin 91 of Sacramento JumD to their positions. . , .... Green Light Thev draff the first hnnrila tn the open door of the plane. Carmack- flips- on a green light signaling them to shove it out. I keep my eyes Blued on the bundle.- The parachute opens. Ine bundle floats down eentlv right onto the clearing! Wp make annther run nl another hit! These' guys are good. . A different fprhnimm is i,wl to drop the bundles without par achutes. - This crew is good at that. too. . Not all the hunriio land squarely onto the clear ing, but most do. Now the Diane is emntv. and we climb to get over the hills. I congratulate Currier on the success of the mission. 'Aw." he savs. "w Hn every day. It isn't the kind of iignung i thought I'd be doing, but every bundle that lands on the target is at least a left-hanri. ed slap at the Jap." THE SIREN'S CALL KANSAS CITY. JP) Fred H Olander knows the hard life of a livestock commission man. I used to SDend hours run. ning down herds over the south west. Sometimes I had to ride horseback and often the herd would scatter when I got near. Inspecting herds was a long, tire some job." But that was before he was. appointed a member of the board of police commissioners. Now I just drive near the fence, begin running the siren and then increase it to a loud wail. The cattle evidently think it s some kind of a glamor moo, and they all gather at the fence." Engineer Officer Talks to Applicants Captain William A. Dodd, representing the commanding of ficer of a spoctal ongluecr con struction group on the east coast, will arrive In Portland, Ore., on Monday, June 7, 1943, to Inter view applicants for enlistment or voluntary Induction Into tho army corps of engineers.
