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."

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

Now the Diane is emntv. and
we climb to get over the hills.
I congratulate Currier on the
success of the mission.
