Both Tony Ross and Bob Ken
eston have now agreed to a box
ing match here Thursday night,
the glove battle to come as the
main event of the regular week's
armory mat card.
Ross, when contacted with the
idea, was willing to box any dis
tance up to 10 rounds but Kenes
ton held out for a short, sweet
scrap and four rounds was the
length settled upon, four regular
three minute rounds.
The two battlers will use
eight-ounce gloves, as provided
by state law, and the fight will
be controlled along strict boxing
regulations. If the bout doesn't
come to a definite finish, a KO
or TKO, the decision will be left
up to the referee and two ring
side judges, picked just before
the fight goes on.
Both Ross and Keneston have
had some ring experience along
with their mat careers. Tony
Ross lost a decision in Portland
recently, to Joe Lynam, who is
an adept a boxer as he is a
wrestler.
Keneston's boxing was done
mostly in the marine corps but
he has. done some prefessional
ring work.
In addition to this match, a
six-round main event rassling
match and a four-round opener
are to be scheduled later. Reserve
seat ducats for the combined
card are now on sale at Castle
berry's and the Klamath Billiards.

, ' ? Something to Remember
The flip of a copper penny in 1845 gave
Portland, Oregon, its name. A settler
from Boston, Massachusetts, and one
from Portland, Maine, tossed for the
light to perpetuate his home city's
name. Today the Portland of the West
is larger than its eastern namesake!
Something Eli to Remember
The smooth, satisfying mellowness of
Corby's! Only 1 1 years after the Port,
land coin tossing, Corby's started its
glorious tradition in Canada as a
grand whiskey name! Today, Corby's,
a light, sociable blend, carries on this
quality tradition. Ask for it next time!

Why Don't We Have Lumber
FOR HO AIE BUILDING?
There are. plenty of trees, plenty of
lumber mills, but very little lumber for
Home Building. WHY?
Here are the simple facts behind the lumber
shortage these facts are stopping Home Building:
1. Over 50 of our lumber was once cut by small
mills. Thousands of these mills were put out of
business during the war by OPA ceiling prices.
OPA still clings to wartime policies and these
mills are still out of business.
2. OPA's blind "hold the line" policies, plus lack
of enforcement, have led to the development of
a huge Black Market in lumber. "Black Market"
lumber is lumber that costs the people more
money than they would pay if lumber were flow
ing to them through the normal channels of dis
tribution the retail lumber dealer.
3. Wartime ceiling prices made it profitable for
the lumber manufacturer to cut sizes of lumber
suitable for war uses, but not suitable for home
construction. As OPA continues this unrealistic
policy, manufacturers continue to cut lumber
sizes which are unsuitable for home construc
tion. In some cases premium prices granted by
OPA encouraged production of lumber not usable
for Home Building. Proper peacetime adjust
ments have not yet been made to encourage pro
duction of home construction lumber such as
flooring, ceiling, siding, millwork, plywood all
essential items in home constriction. This situ
ation affects all lumber production.
4. The manufacturers of lumber have been provide
with a hidden premium on export lumber. Th
OPA has made it more profitable to prodixiH
lumber for export to foreign countries than ti
produce lumber for home construction.
. These are merely examples from the lumber fit1!;
which indicate the type of OPA action that is bloci
ing the production of home building materials n
many fields.
The foct remains that homes cannot be built b
any industry or Government agency without fw
terials.
Homes cannot be built without lumber whethf
that home be wood frame, brick, concrete, or stom
The lumber and building material dealers,
the contractors of the nation can build all the home
needed if they have the materials. But the flc
of materials must be unblocked. Only increase
production of building materials can solve the K-
called housing problem and the unrealistic prici
policy of OPA is the biggest present block to lr
creased production!
Any government program that doei
not FIRST remove the obstacle Mock
ing production of materials will simplf
add additional difficulties to the prob
lem facing the building industry.
