Wood Helps Allies
Lumber from the Pacific North­
west helped the allies triumph ov­
er the Axis in North Africa, ac­
cording to a communication re­
ceived last week by the OWI from
Major General Lucius D. Clay, as­
sistant chief of staff for mater­
ials, army service forces. This
word was relayed to Vernonia
Thursday by the West Coast Lum­
bermen s association in Seattle.
“Our victory over the once
proud Afrika Korps was made
sure by the overwhelming weapons
of war that flowed to our armed
forces in perfect condition and
ready for use,” said Major Gener­
al Clay. He continued: "The ma­
terial came in boxes and crates
many of. them made of stout Pa­
cific Northwest lumber. This stur­
dy packing prevented damage and
it prevented spoilage; it insured
us that we had what we needed
when we needed it. Everything
from huge howitzers to foodstuffs,
from walkie-talkie radios to thous­
ands upon thousands of shells
came packed in wood.

gun stocks, was made of wood,

I f you are an experienced hand in logging camp
or mill, there is no better way you can help in­
vade Europe than to work at your trade NOW!
Because when the Big Offensive begins, our
troops will need thousands of crash landing
barges, PT boats and sub chasers of WOOD.
They’ll need thousands of gliders and transport
planes of WOOD. They’ll need shell cases —
and miles of ponton bridges of WOOD. WOOD
is a military material of the most vital kind. We
must get it to ’em.
In action our troops are learning the tricks of
the trade that make an army click. The same is
true in lumbering. Experience is our greatest
teacher. That is why your experience is so im­
portant NOW. That is why the War Manpower
Commission has asked all the loggers in ship­
yards to go back to the woods. If you are not
now working at this trade —get back into it!
Urge your friends to do the same. So when the
day of invasion comes you can proudly My, “I
did my full part.”
