hi
607 lEnyal ^Americans
This message is addressed to the one hundred
and fifty-three employees of this company now
serving in the military establishment and to the
four hundred and fifty-four equally loyal people
working in our logging camp, sawmill and offices.
All of you are doing a magnificent job. The- man
with the gun, who is slugging it out with the Jap
or the Hun, is being backed up in this organization
by men—and women—-whose efforts are often no
less heroic and self-sacrificing than are those of the
soldier or the sailor.
Those efforts, both on the ship’s deck and on
the log deck, are beginning to get results. In the
two years since Pearl Harbor you fellows who went
to war from the O-A have helped harry the Heinie
from Suez to Salerno and have jazzed the Jap
from Guadalcanal to the Gilberts.
You men and women who stayed at home havf
also served. In those two years you have wrangled
more than 110 thousand logs, scaling nearly 193
million feet, off the hills and out of the canyons of
Tiliamook and Clatsop Counties. And at the mill
you have cut these and other logs into nearly 222
million feet of lumber requiring nearly 7,500 cars
for its movement.
Most of this lumber has gone to war in one way
or another. Some of it undoubtedly is in ponton
bridges being used to span streams on the roads to
Rome; some is keeping soldiers warm in the Aleu­
tians and some enclosed shells fired at Tarawa.
To all of you, whether at Vesuvius or Velle La-
vella or Vernonia, peace is nearer today than it was
on the dark Thursday two years ago today when
none of us knew whether or not our country might
be ravaged by the barbarians of Hitler and Hiro­
hito. •
Your efforts have contributed toward bringing
peace nearer. Those efforts must not be relaxed,
because peace while nearer, is still far distant.
Hordes of Nazis and Nips must yet be made to hol­
ler “Uncle”, and millions of feet of war-use logs
and lumber must yet roll before your Christmases
can be truly Merry and your New Years honestly
Happy. But you are on your way and so we say to
all of you: soldier, sailor, logger and lumberjack:
