Tires can be sabo­

Brakes that grab and

brakes are not only
wasteful but dangerous.

YEAR! The attack is under way —
on all fronts! Our own troops and allies
will need 34 billion bcStrd feet of lumber
this year. Over 16 billion board feet —
nearly half of the total — will go into
wood boxes and crates and paper cartons
to move ammunition, guns, food, and
other supplies up to the battle fronts.
There is no need to tell you that the
men and women of the Western forests
are going to supply the lion’s share of
wood for war again in 1944. This is the
Northwest’s mightiest “MUST!” We
have the timber, the equipment, and the
timbermen of experience. It is up to all
of us to “pass the ammunition”!
