Restricted 10
Emergency
Only.

HELENA, Aug. 15.-Home own
ers needing lumber for repair work
will not be given preference rat
ings to assist them in obtaining lum-
Der except in extreme emergency
cases. Oscar A. Baarson, Helena
WPB District Manager, said today.
Mr. Baarson pointed out that the
thousands of home owners who are
flooding the WPB and Federal
Housing Administration field offices
with applications to receive assist
ance through preference ratings
cannot expect such assistance in get
ting lumber except for extreme
emergency repair purposes. Lumber
for making non-emergency repairs
is bought on uncertified and un-
rated orders from lumber dealers
who have been allotted small guam
titles of lumber for the third quar-
ter of 1914 to take care of the es-
sential requirements of small con-
sumers The public is reminded that
priority assistance can be given to
obtain lumber for essential housing
repairs only in cases of justified
emergency.
In general, damage caused TO
dwellings by fire, flood, tornado,
earthquake, storm or similar catas-
trophe is considered justification
for emergency ratings when the
damage is of such nature as to make
the dwelling unfit for continued
occupancy. Examples of such dam
ages are. leaks in the roof, weak
ening of the framework, separa-
ton of lateral supports from the
main supports of the structure, brok.-
en- joists or risers. Deterioration Of
lumber because of wear and tear
will not be considered an emergen-
cy need for lumber if the parts to
be replaced will function without
repair for at least another three
months, said Mr.. Baarson.
Applications for emergency rat
ings to obtain lumber for emergency
repairs should be made to the near
est Federal Housing Administra-
ton field office. The application
must show that the extent of the
damage is such that the dwelling
is unfit for use unless repaired.
HomeoWners are urged by WPB and
the FILA to refrain from attempt
ing to obtain ratings for any but
the most essential emergency lum-
Der needs Direct and indirect mil
itary requirements for lumber are
SO high, and total essential lumber
demand SO far in excess Of supply,
that all unnecessary use of essential
lumber demand SO far in excess of
supply, that all unnecessary use of
lumber must be curtailed, said Mr..
Baarson.

Throws Light
On Plea 10
Mail Early

Save strong string and box ma
terial and start to plan shopping.
Postmaster General Frank {. Walk
er advises Americans in announc-
ing the rules for mailing of Christ
mas gifts for Army and Navy per-
connel overseas.
This year the Christmas mailing
period for both Army and Navy
overseas forces is the same-Sep-
TENDER IS to October is. After Oc-
tober Is no gift parcel may be
mailed to a soldier without the pre-
sentation of written request from
him.
The great demands upon shipping
and the need for giving preference
to arms, munitions, medicine and
food is the prime reason for the
early mailing date. Moreover, gift
parcels must travel great distances
to reach Army and Navy personnel
who are located lat remote points,
and frequently the transfer of large
numbers of new stations necessl-
tates forwarding of the packages
and additional time is required.
Will Cooperate
1.-THE response that our people
made last year during the overseas
mailing period demonstrated that
they will cooperate in any measure
designed for the welfare of our
armed forces personnel Mr. Walk
err. said. ut is not easy to concen-
trate on Christmas gifts in the midst
of warm weather here at home but
our people recognized the need, and
because they want the men and
women who are absent from their
homes to know that they are not
forgotten at Christmas they took
pains to assure prompt delivery Of
Christmas gifts.
II know that our people will OBJ
serve the overseas mailing schedule

you expect to get supplemental gas
for driving to work. You'll only be
given 80 days to join car pool, or
