in the ministry following his gradu
ation from high school.
He enlisted under a new pro

and one half years in the ready
reserve. Under this program, re
servists may delay the six months
until graduation from high school,

he plans to take his active duty
training.
He said he did not know whether
he will transfer from the military
police reserve to the corps of
chaplains after he graduates from
college or not. adding that it de
pended on circumstances at that
time.
The program under which he en
listed is open to young men from

DUNSMUIR The local March
of Dimes drive this year is spon
sored by the Lions Club. Presi
dent Jim Lockhart named Dan
Padilla chairman at its regular
meeting Tuesday night, January
10.
Padilla, local manager of the
Diamond Match Company, an
nounced the various activities
scheduled for the drive.
Sheriff A. B. Cottar arrived in
town Saturday with his Model T
Ford and a buggy pulled by two
donkeys. Rides sold for 10 cents
each, the proceeds going to. the
March of Dimes.
The Southern Pacific Company
announced that the fish pond on
the station grounds had been
cleaned, and S5 in coins recovered
has been turned over to the fund.
Collection poster tubs have been
distributed around the city by Lee

vantage in areas accounting for
two-thirds of the nation's softwood
lumber consumption, but that by
1952 Oils had changed so that
Douglas fir producers had the ad
vantage in areas accounting for
three-fourths of all rail lumber
terminations. .
"Between 1942 and 1954." he con
tinued, "the percentage of all
Douglas fir domestic shipments
terminating outside the three West
Coast states increased from 66 to
79 per cent: Southern pine extra
regional marketing Increased only
a little more than 5 per cent."
The freight rates set-up is such
that the advantage to Northwest
producers increases with the dis
tance, he siML
"Douglas fir has a greater ad
vantage in distant cities such as
Boston and New York than in near
er cities such as Des Moines, St.
Louis and Indianapolis," he said.
He described the industrialized
area lying north of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi as the user
of about one-third of the lumber
the country produces.
About 40 per cent of the coun
try's soft lumber comes from the
Douglas fir region of western Ore
gon and Washington and about
one-third from -the Southern pine
region comprising 10 Southern
states, plus eastern Oklahoma and
Texas, he said.
He concluded:
"Trends during recent years
have been in the direction of im
proving this (the Northwest's!
favorable position, and there lis
nothing in the Immediately fore
seeable future that would indjeate
any siguincant reversal.
