REEVES BYRD is
MADE LIEUTENANT

Key Westers generally will re-
call W. D. Byrd, who was at the
head of the Reedy Forwarding
Company in Key West for many
years, and who was active in the
local Rotary Club and American
Legion Post.
While he and Mrs. Byrd resided
here, son was born to them. He
was named Reeves, and yesterday
friends of the Byrds in Key West
received information that Reeves
passed his examinations success
fully in the Army Air Corps and
has been made a second lieuten-
ant. He is stationed at Abilene,
Texas.
The Byrds are now making their
home in Detroit. Two years ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Byrd visited Key
West, and Mr.. Byrd said it was
like coming back home. He spoke
of the days when he was in bust
ness here, of his activity among
Key West Rotarians and Legion
naires and of the many games Of
golf he played on the course on
Stock Island.
The Byrds have another son,
W. D., Jr., who is in the govern
ment service in Washington.

LOLLIPOPS FOR THE ARMY

were the faces of boys having a
swell time.
There was a chap in the front
row who was leaning forward in
his seat, his eyes one great DANG
ing grin, every word from the
stage and every note of music or
song seeming to hit him like
personal message. This boy-he'd
come back from somewhere in the
South Pacific-clapped hands with
the music, threw back his head
to howl over jokes, was COM
pletely oblivious to everything but
that show on the stage. Many
other boys clapped hands, many
others leaned forward with the
same expectant look. They were
all like kids who'd just beeh given
a lifetime supply of lollipops.
Kay had a bigger house for his
afternoon show, and an even big
ger one for the evening, down at
the town movie house where SOL
diers from miles around could
crowd in. They seemed to have
swell time, too, almost as good
time as that other audience in the
mOrning-the one that doesn't get
around much, the one I'll never
EOrget.

WASHINGTON, Feb 26-Wal-

grand old men of the House Of
Representatives, is going home to
Oregon.
But the 81-year-old Democratic
congressman, knocked out of his
ten-year fight in the House against
what he calls "the big timber in
tcrests" by defeat at the polls in
November, sang his swan song
with a declaration and ques
ton.
The declaration: That big tim

a laSt-ditch battle against govern
ment measures essential to pro-
duction of the full amount of wood
and forest products needed for all

lection of postwar employment
and economic stability.
The question: What has hap
pened to the recommendation to
establish the Federal Forest Pro
ducts Service? This plan to set up
$100,000,000 revolving fund

Agriculture Wickard. According to
Representative Pierce, it went to
the Presidents desk for molding
into an executive order nearly
two months ago and that is the
last that has been heard of it.
why the delay since last
June?" says Mr.. Pierce. "A few
DAYS ago the Truman committee
openly blamed that on the WPB

Also estimates before the commit

shortage in l943. Yet the industry
is fighting tooth and nail against
this plan to augment their pro-
duction with small mills"
AS a matter of fact, the lumber
situation seems to be another one
of the wartime confusions. The at
tack on Alexander has come from
other quarters, with demands
