VETERANS MAKE POPPIES
TO HONOR WAR DEAD

Thousands of disabled veterans in
hospitals throughout the country are
being given employment by the
American Legion Auxiliary, making
memorial peoples which will be worn
in honor of the war dead on Poppy
day next May, Miss Valma Shay
Poppy chairman of the local Auxil-
larry unit, has announced.
More than 25,000,000 of the little
red flowers of remembrance are ex-
pected to be made by the disabled
men and women during the winter
and spring months, Miss Shay said.
They will be distributed by volunteer
workers from the Auxiliary, who, in
exchange for the peoples, will re-
ceive contributions for the welfare
of disabled veterans and dependent
families of the dead and disabled.
In addition to the hospitalized vet
a being given employment, many
others are employed in convalescent
workshops maintained by the Auxil-
larry in a number of states. The
work is given to those most needy
and those who will benefit most
from the activity. The peoples which
will be distributed by Laurel unit
of the Auxiliary are being made at
Fort Harrison under the direction
of the Montana department of the
Auxiliary.
The peoples, replicas of the wild
peoples which grow on the battle
fields and war cemeteries in Europe,
are made of crepe paper, with stems
of paper-wrapped wire, explained
Miss Shay. This type of flower
is used to provide interesting en-
ployment for as many disabled vet
Grams as possible. Shaped carefully
by hand, each poppy is different,
each reflecting the skill of its max
err.
The poppy work is valuable to
the veterans, not only for the money
earned, but also as o~ccupational
therapy. 1t provides occupation for
mind and hands during the long hos
pital hours and is considered a val
liable aid to recovery.

and planer shavings.
Commenting on installation of IA
%cilities to save numbering by-pro-
ducts for low-cost fuel, general
manager, John N. Root said, "Those
who have coal or oil furnaces might
we'll look into the feasibility of in
stalling a sawdust burner"
Root said the plant payroll will
range between so and 70 men, with
salaries and wages approaching
100000 annually.
A labor-saving feature of the new
sawmill is a 500-foot reversible con-
veyor which carries green lumber
to the drying yard after it has
been graded according to Western
Pine association standards.
After thorough drying, the con-
veyor then returns the sawed lum-
Der to the planning mill where high
speed knives surface ITS feet of
boards per minute.
The plaier can handle top grade
boards up to 6 inches thick and ii
inches wide, surfaced on four sides.
Finished products include V-rustic
(knotty pine), center match floor
ing, shiplap and drop siding.
In the sawmill proper, powered
by electric motors, are a log hoist,
drag saw, tanners, log-turning de-
vices on the carriage, main saw, top
saw, edger, slasher, trimmer, plain,
spiral and jump rolls.
A 220-foot conveyor handles the
sawdust, while another carries slab
wood 200 feet to a storage hopper.
Another innovation for small saw
is the slasher, a powered shaft
with IS saws spaced 16 inches
apart. Endless chains bring slabs
to the muptiple saw to be converted
to stovewood.
The wood, dropping to the convey
DR., is carried to a accompaniment
which holds six cords. Gates
the hopper's bottom permit quick
.,ruckloadings.

Montana's most modern sawmill
is a long step from the classic mold
of Paul Bunyan, legendary charac-
ter of lumberjacks. It's electrically
powered throughout.
The mill, six miles north of twin
Bridges, has a capacity of %approxi-
mately 10000 board feet of lumber
per eight-hour shift, roughly four
six-room homes. The Sage Lumber
company announced today the plant
represents an investment of $780,

Hell's Canyon for three months as
woods crews build a backlog of tim
Der for the mill. Already approxi-
mately 100000 feet of Douglas Fir
has been banked on landings in the
canyon 10 miles west of Sage, site
of the mill. The company estimates
the fir and spruce stand in the
canyon available for cutting ap-
proximates 1920 million feet.
A $4,000 ACCESS road constructed
by the forest service to stimulate
lumber production opened the TIM
Der for logging.
Near Drummond lumber jacks
have been telling Ponderosa (yel-
low pine for two months. The
Sage company expects to log some
80 million feet of pine to be ship
ped to the mill via Northern Pacific
railway.
Matching the pork packers "every-
thing but the squeal," the Sage mill
expects to utilize everything from
the saw logs but the whine of the
saw and planer-lumber for con-
struction, sawdust and slab-wood for
fuel, planer shavings for Cattle
bedding and chicken scratch pens.
With an eye on conservation,
spiraling prices and uncertain sup
plies of coal and fuel oil, the Sage
company installed sawdust and slab
wood conveyors and hoppers. A

The Passion story is the true
source of Christian service and of
missionary zeal. Since st. Paul, the
"chief of Sinners" had been saved
by the love of Christ, this love was
the driving force in his life. To
this very day the secret of a Chris
tian's strength, the source of his
power, the driving forge behind his
consecrated life-all are found in
the love of Christ to him. Let the
love of Christ constrain also you!

Republicans wanted to make politi- cal issue of the naming of a Cath olic, he said, it would only harm them.
 The President, however, had told his leaders that he would leave the Convention completely open when it came to selecting a Vice Presi- dent, and he kept his word.
 It was Senate Secretary Leslie Biffle who overrode the Presidents wishes and privately lobbied among delegates to nominate the vener- able Senator from Kentucky Tn doing so, Biffle knew that, re- gardless of age or geography, what the Truman ticket needed most was the pacifying influence of a man who has helped heal wounds in the Senate and can now help to heal them in the sore and smarting Democratic party.

After V-J Day. the Maritime Commission gave consideration to returning the operation to private hands. The pre-war Alaska fleet of 42 vessels had shrunk to only seven due to loses and requiston for title and maritime losses
 Replacement of vessels by building new tonnage was out of the question because of high construction costs This would have sent shipping rates up several hundred per cent. Wages in the maritime trade had increased 150 per cent between 1889 and 1947 and other costs of handling freight had skyrocketed. Pill ferage and cargo losses were shocking.
 It was apparent that the operators could not return to private operations without large rate in creases which would be extremely damaging Alaska.
 study made by the carriers and several com- mittees of the House of Representatives determined that rates would have be increased by 88 per cent under private operation if the companies were to provide adequate service and maintain solvency
 In order avoid inflicting such disastrous bur- den upon the people of Alaska the Congress enacted Public Law 2 under which the Interim Plan agreement was drawn up between the steamship companies and the Maritime Commission.
 Under this plan the Commission chartered gov ernment-owned ships to the operators for dollar a year thereby absorbing 43 per cent of the needed rate increase In addition the Commission paid the insurance on the ships operated absorbing another l3 per cent of the needed 88 per cent increase.
 This left 32 per cent to be made up through rate increases which were put into effect.
 sUnder the agreement profits of the operators were limited to 10 per cent before taxes on operating capital and if any additional profits remained, these were to be applied insurance and charter hire If there remained any additional earnings, the govern ment would receive 75 per cent and the companies 25 per cent.
 The Maritime Commission considered this aid not a company subsidy, but subsidy for Alaskans However the Maritime Commission now does not see fit to continue the plan.
 So it looks as if rates will have to be increased 56 per cent if We receive adequate shipping service

Word to the Wise
Cincinnati Enquirer

Paul " McNutt, speaKlng before New York audience recently, had pertinent things to say about the Far East-a subject which the 1ndianan has become something of expert in recent years. He stated that the United States may be overlooking some most important opportunities in China while we are rebuilding the economic strength of the Japs our erstwhile enemies
 He reported that sound progress was being made in the rehabilitation of the Japanese economy; that virtually nothing being done to retsore-lf that
 is the right wordthe social and industrial systems Of our friends in China. The dangers in such program are too obvious to require comment
 Certainly the Chinese do offer magnificent field for future American business. As MT McNutt said they have hundreds of of raw materials which we need-and will continue to need-so badly. At the time almost completely devoid of industry they constitute limtess potential market With raw materials they can pay for finished goods-and can keep our factory wheels turning.
 At the moment, of course, que in large measure
 political pressures the United States feels obligated direct it's first attentions to Europe. But Europe
 rehabilitated she will be- must not forget the Far East We should, quickly We can divert some of assistance that way Unless we do we find that Russia entering by the back door has more than compensated for the disappointments we feel certain she will meet in her quest for additional expansion in Europe.

ALASKA SHIPPING PROBLEM

Although the Congress has authorized extension of the Alaska Shipping program which expired June 30 the Maritime Commission so far has decllned to renew the agreement declaring that thc Maritime Commissn has mandate from Congress to reestab- fish Alaska shipping commercial basis.
 It seems that the language of the law. passed in the closing hours the 80th Congress permissve but not mandatory"
 Just what this latest Maritime Commission decision will mean Alaska shipping rates remains to be seen It probably will that if Alaska is to receive ade- quate service in the future rates will have to be increased considerably For only last month the Mari time Commission declared that rates existing under the subsidized program were not unlawful or unjust
 The Maritime Commissions reluctance to continue tho agreement could well be attributed to severe criticism of the Commission by Alaska officials durlng the past year for the Maritime Commissions role in bringing about that interim agreement which expired June 30
 Governor Gruenng, Delegate Bartlett and lesser Territorial officials subjected the Maritime Con- mission to litter tongue-lashings from time to time But ncne of these officials have been able to offer better plan
 Prior to the outbreak of the in l94l, Alaska was served with 26 vessels owned by private shipping companies and 16 owned by the Alaska salmon industry.
 In April 1922 hte War Shipping Administration reouistioned these ships and operations were con- tinued for the government account under general agency agreement.
 The Alaskan operations for government account resulted overall loss in 1945 of S250Oo0o and in l946 the loss estimated at $4,0Oo,000.
 These losses caused by greatly increased costs of operation food, repairs and greater trn-around time

The fiery temper has been damp ened, and Barkley is more philos- ophical, more understanding, more of a friend of man. But the famed Barkley sense of humor is just the same-only the Senator doesn't use it so pointedly on his col leagues as he once did when the late Huey Long was bragging to the Senate about his own educa- tion.
 Did the Senator ever study mu- sic?' interrupted Barkley.
 "A little," replied Huey modest ly.

BARKLEY's SORROW

AS the years have passed. Alben Barkley has seen his share of sorrow and disappointment. For long time his invalid wife lay all most at the point of death. Day and night nurses were necessary. Unlike some Senators, Barkley has no lucrative law firm or indepen- dent income to augment his Sen- ate salary; and for a long time he economized forewent an auto mobile. and filled lecture engage ments to pay the doctors bills.
 Barkley also watched a long pro- cession of his friends leave the Senate for rewards in other fields. Jimmie Byrnes, Harold Burton, Lewis Schwellenbach, Homer Bone were elevated to the judiciary. Harry Truman was piced for Vice President. But patiently Barkley continued in the thankless job of leading the Democratic side of the Senate in exfausting rough-and- tumble of pushing his party's legis- lation through Congress.
 On one occasion, Barkley even urged the appointment of Jimmie Byrnes to a Supreme Court va cancy which he, Barkley, had sec- retly hoped to get. for himself. But when he heard that Byrnes was interested, he went to the White House and asked Roosevelt to give the post to Jimmie.

THUMBS DOWN ON ALIEN

Only a few White House insiders plus Barkley himself know that President Truman was not too anxious to have the Senator from Kentucky as his Vice Presidential running-mate There was nothing personal about Truman's opposition. Though the two men are not close, and though Barkley last March complained that the President had not seen fit to consult either him or Sam Rayburn for three months, the President has a high regard for Barkley.
 However, he told close advisers that the juxtaposition of their two neighboring states-Missouri and Kentucky-added nothing geogra- phically to the ticket, whereas the Republican candidates coming from New York and California - had a wide geographical appeal.
 Also Truman thought Barkley's -70-weuld make it difficult for him to stage vigorous cam paign.
 Finally, the Presidents personal candidate, next to Justice William O. Douglas, was trust-buster Sena- tor Joe O'Mahoney of Wyoming. O'Maho1iey's opponents, chiefly Irish Catholic Democratic leaders, urged that O'Mahoney not be on the same ticket because of the re- ligious angle.
 To this Truman replied that he gsasnt worried about the outcome of any campaign if the Republi- cans were foolish enough to inject the issue of intolerance. If the

Then there was also the memor- able occasion m 1944 when the Kentucky mountaineer that turks in Alben Barkleys soul flared to the surface in a vitrolic denuncia- tion of Franklin Roosevelt for his veto of the tax bill.
 That speech, that flare-up of tenn per-probably affected the history of the USA more than any Senate speech in half decade. For had Barkley mot lashed out at Roose- welt, FDR undoubtedly would have picked him for Vice President at the Chicago convention three nonths later. In that case Alben Barkley, not Harry Truman, would be President of the United States today.
