tendent Oliver. Roy Upton, Orville

the Clyde Robinson building on Mill
street, having taken a 80 year lease
Mr.. Barlow stated that present
plans call for a carload to be
shipped this week, two carloads
next week, with a peak production
being maintained at four carload of
boxes per week.
The first shipment will be entire
ly of panel boxes, the production
facture of wire bound boxes and
crates.
Present plans call for the con-
struction of a new planning mill,
Immediately adjacent to the Robin
son building, or the main plant. 1t
will be so by SO feet. A boiler house
will also be constructed and the en-
tire plant will eventually be heated
by steam heat.
The temporary basis will continue
until January l, 1947, when the
plant swings into their permanent
production plans.
Mr.. Barlow, the new general man
ager, comes to Caldwell from Cleve-
land and Ravenna. He and his wife
and three-year-old daughter, Di-
anne, are living in the former J. E.
Smith property on Main street. He
is thoroughly familiar with his many
new duties and directly represents
the Cozier Wood Container Company
in Cleveland Kenneth Cozier is
president of the company and Henry
Trees, secretary
Guy Lombardo, also of Cleveland,
will serve as chief mechanic for the
plant and has already arrived in
Caldwell.
The Caldwell plant was first To-
Gated here in June, 1945, when the
set-up called for production of am
munition boxes. Several thousand
were shipped until November, 1945
when the government cancelled
their contract and the plant closed
down.
In preparation for the shift to
manufacture of panel and wire
bound boxes, many changes have
been noted at the plant. The en-
tire building has been renovated
and REINFORCED and covered COM
pletely with a protective outside
covering of false brick.
Only one section of the large plant
is now being used, but when the
switch from temporary to perman-
ent basis is made, the entire build
ing will be occupied.
At the present time and eventual
ly, the Caldwell Cozier Wood Con-
tainer Company means much to this
community and Noble county. 1t
will be one of the largest industries
in the county and afford many the
means of finding employment at
home.
The Journal joins with many 9TH
ers in welcoming the re-opening of
the Caldwell plant.

Swing Into Action

Lifting of controls by President
Harry S. Truman should bring a

grades of beef, at the butcher stores
in Caldwell within ten DAYS.
This will also hold true with the
local restaurants, who have never

opened Tuesday morning, after be-
ing closed for the past Is days,
when the owner exceeded his
slaughtering quota.
The Cecil shop on North street has
been open only few hours at a
time the past four weeks but he
expects to have all the meat he can
handle in ten days or two weeks.
This also holds true with the meat
departments in the various grocery
stores in Caldwell.
The powers that be in Washing
ton state it will take about ten days
to get an animal from the farm to
the butchers block. With thousands
Of small and large slaughtering
plants ready to buy animals, the
meat output could be stepped up
quickly.
The immediate increase in the
meat supply will be limited largely
to fresh and frozen beef. Little pork
is expected to be available before
late in November because it will
take some weeks longer to get pres
ent hogs to slaughter weights.
This does not necessarily apply
locally as John Hayes does all his
own slaughtering and can bypass
much of this red tape.
Cured meats, such as hams and
bacon, will not be on the market
for many weeks, even locally.

The new OPA grocery ceiling
price list issued last week will be
amended this week due to in
creases granted at higher levels as
recommended by the Department
of Agriculture. For example, there
has been q per cent increase for
cocoa and chocolate prices. These
increases are due primarily to in
creases granted importers of raw
products and in compliance with
the provisions of the Price Control
Act of 1916, OPA said.
The amendments will carry in
creases averaging 212 cents a
pound in retail ceiling prices of
oleomargarine, cooking oils and
salad oils, mayonnaise, salad dress
ing and shortening. These increases
are being made, OPA said, to re-
fleet higher ceilings in crude cot
tonseed, soybean, peanut and corn
oils, as recommended by the De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t is est
mated the increases will add ap-
proXimately $60,000,000 to the ma
tional food bill.
