Flag Raising
Prints Arrive
The Marine Corps recruiting ser
geant, Master Sergeant Charles
A. West, has received some prints
of the famous flag raising by the
Marine Corps on Mount Suribachl
during the Iwo Jima amphibious
operation of World War II.
The Marine Corps national mem
orial statue of the Hag raising is
being erected on a seven and one
half acre tract of ground bordering
the Arlington National Cemetery
overlooking Washington, D.C. The
statue, weighing over one hundred
tons, is the largest bronze casting
ever attempted. It is 78 feet high
including the base of Swedish
black granite.
The Marines in the statue are
23 feet high and one of the flag
raisers is carrying a rifle 16 feet
long. Atop the 20 foot flag pole
will be flying the American Flag.
The monument will cost approxi
mately $750,000 which Is being
raised solely through the contribu
tions of Marines, former Marines
and their friends. There will be no
cost to the government for the
monument. The monument is sla
ted for unveiling on November 10,
the 179th Anniversary of the Ma
rine Corps, as a permanent mem
orial to Marines.
Anyone desiring one of these
9 x 12 painted pictures may have
one by stopping at the Marine
Corps Recruiting Office located at
the Klamath County Court House.

"Competition is the lift of trade"
Engineering helps make
better products at less cost
Throughout the free world, competition among industries results in
more and better products at lower prices. Engineering plays an important
part in making this possible by improving manufacturing efficiency, reducing
waste and assuring uniform quality. Competition for customers is increasing
in all businesses as our economy becomes more stable. In the building field,
for example, many new materials now compete with lumber and plywood.
If we are to hold our share of the market, we must continue to develop new
and better products and improve manufacturing methods to meet this com
petition. In addition, we must maintain our high standards of quality and
service to our customers.
Our industry's ability lo compete successfully in the building market is
important to you because more than half of tin's region's economy is based
upon forest products. Success in marketing our products means continuous
operation of our plants assuring steady payrolls, prosperous communities
and a stable tax base to help support schools and government.
Farmers build with wood for durability and economy
Lumber offers many natural advantages for all types of farm buildings. It is strong, yet light
in weight. IU excellent insulating qualities provide warmth without added coat. Wood is versatile
. . . easily adapted to modern farm architectural designs which feature attractive, functional
buildings with largo post-free areas. Equally important, wood structures are economical in
both first cost and maintenance. Almost everyone knows how to build and repair with lumber.
Regardless of wood's many natural advantages, our industry must continue to tell the merits
of wood. Remember, wood must compete with them all... concrete, steel, brick, aluminum, glass,
plastics and compositions.
