Definite Purpose of Health
Association Explained
BIBLE MILLENNIUM . Part 2
Remarks Monday evening following the meeting
of the Columbia county public health association
brought out the fact that many people present were
not informed as to the association’s work and pur
pose. Probably the most commonly mistaken idea is
that the association is not a part of the Red Cross.
That error was corrected for those present by an ex
planation by Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, who told of the
organization and its accomplishment.
Tuberculosis was at one time the most destructive
disease of human life but due to money derived from
Christmas Seal sales and the uses to which that
money has been put, tuberculosis has now dropped
to seventh place, six other diseases being more de
structive.
Many people have purchased Christmas Seals in
past years but have not known the definite purpose
to which those seals are devoted. Learning that pur
pose and the advancement made makes the purchase
of seals a welcome duty.

Save Your Waste Paper
Although no move has been taken here for the col
lection of waste paper which is vitally needed for
production of packing cases, home owners are urged
to save newspapers and magazines for a collection
which will be made by J. R. Lee.
Waste paper is now considered one of the vital
needs for the manufacture of items such as packing
cases and wrapping paper which can be used for the
transport of war supplies. No collection has been
made here for some time and most homes probably
have a considerable supply of paper on hand that
could be tied and made ready for the collection.
Mr. Lee will collect the paper on his weekly house-
to-house tour for the collection of garbage. Those
having paper can help the war effort a lot by placing
it where he can get it at those times.

SCHOOLS OF CITY
SHOW BIG GAINS
HILLSBORO — The
union
high and grade schools show a
substancial increase in enrollment
with the opening of the new
term, according to school offi-
cials.
Union high school has 700 stu-
dents enrolled as against 670 fofr
the same period in 1943. Hills-
boror’s three grade schools had a
total of 761 students enrolled in
contrast with 732 a year ago.
CANDIDATE
NUMBER NIL
FOREST GROVE — Voters
will have to follow the example
of the republican and democratic
conventions this year and draft
candidates.
With September 18 at 5 p.m.
as the final date for filling of
petitions for candidates for mayor
for a term of two years and
three members of the council for
four years, there has been no
action taken to date. The city
hall reports that there has not-
been a single request for a
petition as yet.
SOLDIERS SEND
FOR BALLOTS
TILLAMOOK — Inquiry at
the county cleyk’s office reveals
the fact that to date, 232 absent
voters, most of them soldiers,
have written in for absent voters
ballots. Envelopes are ready to
send them to the soldiers in time
for their return to the United
States. Every day, 25 or 30 re
quests come to the clerk's office
through the postoffice, so the
number is expected to reach 300
or more in Tillamook county.
LARGE WASTE PAPER
TONNAGE RETRIEVED
HILLSBORO — Approximate
ly 25 tons of waste paper was
brought in Saturday of last week
as Hillsboro's part to help re-
lieve the nation’s No. 1 salvage
problem, according to County
Chairman W. G. Ide of Hillsboro.
A special drive is planned for
local business houses this week
when each one will be contacted
in an effort to clean up every
possible source of waste paper
including old newspapers, mag
azines, books and cartons.

Farmer and housewives are
beneficiaries of early reconver
sion efforts. The WPB announc
es that farm machinery with a
total value of $73,595,553 was
produced during July. WPB also
lifted restrictions which have been
standardizing types of domestic
cooking appliances and heating
stoves. . ,
In a case involving a pay raise
of three cents an hour for 650
employes of the Acme Rubber
Co., Trenton, N.J., the majority
of the WLB ruled that considera
tion of the employer’s financial
position “would make a nullity
of the Congressional wage pol
icy.” Industry members of WLB
dissented. . .
Apparently intent upon ridding
business and industry of govern
ment controls as quickly as pos
sible after peace comes, the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee has decided tentatively to
limit to one year the reconversion
machinery now being set up by
Congress. . .
Sentiment in favor of dispos
ing of surplus war property thru
commercial channels instead of
directly to consumers is growing
stronger in Congress. The House
has tentatively assented an a-
mendment to the disposal bill to
make it mandatory to dispose of
such governement property thru
commercial channels.

KID SALVAGE

Jeep Sawmill . . .
After forty years of seeing
near-miracles wrought by loggers
and sawmill men in improvising
various items of power production
in woods and mills. I ought to
be past amazement by same. But
here I am, bugeyed again at the
ingenuity of the timber mechanic,
after a visit to a two-man saw
mill that can -jjut 4000 board
feet in eight hours. Generally
Fritz Pearson and Paul Barlow,
the owners and operators, get
along on 3,000 feet per day, for
they are men who expect some
thing from life besides backaches
and spondulicks.
As a key to what I mean, the
power plant of the Pearson Mill
Company is a Cadillac motor,
while the log carriage is con
trolled through a Model T Ford
transmission. You know the
sleepy crawl of the usual little
mill carriage. This one, you’d
think it had a shotgun feed. Yet
the cutting is precise lumber
manufacture. The big motor has
an overflow of power. Another
gas engine snakes the little logs
up from the pond, and yet anoth
er operates a small cutoff saw.
There is the cutest conveyer
you ever did see, which elevates
the sawdust to a bin set for fil
ling fuel trucks. And yet more
contrivances and gadgets. Pretty
soon partners Pearson ad Barlow
will have a crane for loading
their lumber truck, and an edger.
More fun! A jeep sawmill, and
in its way as 'wonderful as the
Army’s jeep.
“Haywire Hill” . . .
The loggin«” show was a quar-
ter-mile up the canyon, centering
on a mountain-side
of prime
second growth. The rings on the
biggest sticks decked at the land
ing showed an age of 68 years.
Most of the round stuff was
younger and smaller, with size
and duality demonstrating that
marketable timber can now be
grown within 50 to 60 years.
The humidity was pretty low,
so the outfit wasn’t logging the
day I was up. I hope to see it
working some time. The spar
tree, one of the 68-year-olds in
the stand, was at least 125 feet
tall. The donkey at its base was
powered by a Studebaker truck
motor (no advertising intended).
The setting looked fit for clean
ing up the whole mountain which
was called—I wonder why—“Hay
wire Hill.”
There you have the Douglas
fir lumber operation of the
future. There are ten thousand
like it in the Southern pine states.
A Program Needed . . .
The portable and other small
sawmills of today are but little
improved over those I chored
around as a boy in the maples
and oaks of southern Iowa. I’ve
seen hundreds, but never one
with the efficiency of the home
designed and home made rig of
the Pearson Mill Company—one
in which gadgets reduce strong-
arm labor to a trifle. Surely the
industrial brains that produced
the military jeep can produce
a standear jeep sawmill as effi
cient as Fritz Pearson’s.
Logging rigs for use in second
growth might be produced, too,
it seems to me, at a cost that
would make them available to
the mass market of gypo log
gers.
Most of all. surveys and studies
are needed in the Douglas fir
region on all angles of the util
ization of second growth in ac-"
cordance with forestry princi
ples; on the planning of such
operations; on their relation to
the concent-ation yard and re
manufacturing plant of the times
to come.
The war lumber market has
revived the small sawmill. It has
al=o caused over-cutting in our
second growth of sawtimber sizes.
There are problems in the field
that really need looking after
righ now, aside from the plan
ning for the day when supplies
for the forest industries will be
mainly
in the
second-growth
forests.

It was even so in the days

The big folks brought up the
