For Many
Accidents

More accidents occur in the home
than anywhere else.
Home accidents in l943 claimed
$4,000 American lives.
Disabling injuries reached 4,850,-

These figures are included in a
warning note from the Office Of
War Information which is heading
up the activities of 10 other gov
eminent agencies and the Ameri-
can Red Cross to stop accidents on
the home front Last year 81 400
Americans were killed on the home
front, 10 million more were injured.
Directing attention to the twelve
month drive Of the Department Of
Labor's National committee for the

industries, Ben Rezoff, Denver ST.

Timber Cut
Is Heavy

MISSOULA, Oct. 23.-Nearly so
million board feet of timber were
cut by commercial operators from
the national forests of the Northern
Region during the months of July,
August, and September, according
to a report just made by regional
forester Evan w. Kelley. Additional
sales amounting to So million board
feet were made during the same re-
Rod.
Largest single producer was the
Occur d'Alene national forest, with
slightly over 81 million board /. ct
cut. Nearest competitor was the
Kootenai forest of northwestern
Montana which furnished 1856
900 board feet. Other forests appear
ing in the higher brackets are: Ia
nisku, Idaho, ll,34l 900 board feet,
Colville, Wash, $4,000 board feet
Flathead, Mont, 6,698,OOO board
feet; Bitterroot, Mont, 3,570,00C
board feet.
The cut. which is far greater
than normal demands in this region
for any 3-month period in peace
time, reflects the Importance of tim
Der in the prosecution of the war,
says Major Kelley. Wartime de-
mands have made it necessary to
cut on some forests at a rate faster
than the timber is growing, and af-
ter the war considerable readjust-
ment will be necessary to reduce
this cut and harvest our timber OH a
sustained yield basis. This will be
done at the earliest possible time
consistent with the economic nee Is
of the country"

And here's a list Of things
they do NOT want:
ALARM CLOCK-They wake
up with a bugle call.
FLASHLIGHTS - Good ones
are issued To each woman.
IRONS-All Of them have
irons: besides they don't ship
very well.
SCRAP BOOkS-AlI have 10

they change stations and there

and diaries falling into the
enemy hands. Best idea Is to
keep a scrap book at home for
her To enjoy later.

GIRDLES - Issue 10 each
woman.
Bobby pins, hairnets, waving
