TODAY, Columbia Lum- ber Company is devoting its efforts toward fulfilling the needs of war, but always thinking of our part in the post-war Alaskan world. IN this war-torn world, foday looms large. There is little opportunity to think of fomorrow and the pursuits of peace. The men and women of the Forest Products Industries—like others pro- ducing vital war material—are busy with the present, devoting their ut- most to winning*the war—completely + . . speedily. Here's what that means: Producing billions of feet of lumber for building cantonments, war plants, war-workers’ homes . . . plywood for “P. T.” Boats and airplanes; wood pulp for explo- sives, cartons and paper and scores of other things needed on the battlefronts of the world. And, at the same time, providing enough timber. to take the load off metals needed for guns and the engines of war. That is our big job and we’re doing it.

Well, sir, I soon found out I could af- making better money these days, and " there’s a darn sight fewer things for me and the missus to spend that money on. And the other night, fingering over missus: “For once,” I said, “we got some- promising to pay us back $4.00 for every $3.00 we put in these Bonds. And, just between you and me and the lamp post, there’s no surer promise in the world.” “My,” said the missus, “why don’t we try to buy more of those Bonds out of your pay? I could do some paring down. Let’s see if we can’t make it 15% instead We did it, by golly! AND SO CAN a guy who g. I owed on Bonds. I'm even, Bonds I said to the body owing us money. Uncle Sam!
