company, familiarly known as
the Boy Scout mill and located
just north of Pelican City, the
mill is operating on a single shift
basis at the present time cutting
some 75,000 feet per day. This

crew went to work in the woods

crew will get on the Job in a
week or 10 days, the time mu

mill men as the opening of
spring logging operations.

woods during that time. Log
ging is expected to be resumed
as soon as possible. Loveness

logging.

New Plywood
Developed
ABERDEEN, Wash.; March, 21
JP) A. R. Wuest, president of
the West Coast Plywood com
pany, today "unveiled" a new,
improved-surface p 1 y w o o d,
known as "welchboard," for A.
R. Welch, vice president of the
firm who invented and improved
the product.
The new panel production is
on a limited scale but will reach
v o lu m e production in six
months. Plywood manufacturers
will be licensed to make the new
product through the Plywood
Research foundation of Tacoma,
non-profit organization set up by
the industry two years ago tu
eliminate waste d develop
new products.
The new process utilizes waste
plywood aggregates, in the form
of wood flour, bonded with
resins to a plywood base. The
same hot-plate presses used in
making plywood are used to
bond the new surface material
to plywood panels. The surface
was described as relatively hard
and smoother than any present
plywood surfaces and has the
natural color of the pulverized
wood fibers used light tan in
the case of Douglas fir.

out Britain today and "worsen
ing conditions" were reported in
the nation's two most critical
flood areas the fenland region
in the east and the northern min

flood disaster in living memory.
British soldiers and volunteers
stacked more sandbags on a 12
mile long, seven-foot high dyke
holding back the swollen Wissey

tire communities and 110 square
miles of rich farm land already
were under water.
Trucks piled high with sand
were dashing to the danger
spots along roads dotted with
fleeing flood refugees. RAF
planes ranged over the region
reporting the spread of ever
widening waters.
