U.S. Wood Output Exceeds Third Of World's Production United States lumber production is holding steady at around 37 billion board feet annually, more than a third of the world's out put.. This fact is contained in the 1956 edition of "Facts About the Na tion's Lumber Industry," just re leased by American Forest Pro ducts Industries, Inc., the national Tree Farm sponsor. Nearly all of this lumber?about 90 per rent of it?is harvested from privately owned commercial forest land, the book states. About 70 per cent of each tree harvested is utilized today, as compared to only 30 per cent in the early days of the industry Slabs, sawdust and other leftovers formerly unused by sawmills are now sold to pulp and paper mills More and more lumber com panies. according to the fact book, are adopting forest management practices on their own lands?and are giving forestry aid to neighbor ing small landowners?to assure enough timber to meet the coun try's future needs. They employ more than 1,000 professional for esters. Together with other wood-using , industries. U. S. lumber companies sponsor and operate the American Tree Farm System of timberland management on some 40 trillion acres of private forest land. The program is now active in 44 states. Products shipped by the lumber Industry are valued at more than $9 billion annually In latest esti mates of the U. S. Department of Commerce. The Industry gives full time employment to over 790.000 persons. Church Dates Newest Trend For Moderns AP Newsfeatures The new theme is church dating. Boys and girls arc making dates to attend church just as they do parties. As one mother put it, "I was against the all-night prom parties. But look what came out of it? I relented at the last moment be cause finally the community spon sored the party at a local restau rant. and all the young people were properly chaperoned. The idea was for the hoys to stay at the" if iris* Whtfse affSF*TRe KSarty" The young people got home at 5 o'clock, went to sleep and then got up and wont off to church." It has continued. Church pews; are filled with young couples, and i even the church functions-?socials.! auctions and suppers are attracting them. The routine is that boy meets girl for church, then returns to; girl's house for late breakfast or j early Sunday dinner. "Very much like when I was a girl," one gran ny said "In those days church was a standard date on Sunday, only usually the rest of your family j tagged along to make sure you'd j get there safely." One popular girl, with several beaus. says she alternates her church dates. "Sometimes." she says, "I go to ] my date's church and then go hack ' to his house for dinner." Along wilt) new ideas in dat ing. there is a trend to spurn spend-money dating, one girl says. She thinks girls have a better sense of values nowadays, and do , not insist that their dates spend money just to prove they like them. Very few young people, she says, go out to dance and dinner spots as their older brothers and sisters did. They'd rather save money for some special project. A favorite date Ls the old-fash ioned one -the boy comes to the house to play piano, watch tele vision or play games like Scrabble or Yahtie. the new rags' Ice-cream and cookies or a sandwich may be eaten. One girl says her beau helps her with the cooking every Sunday night and they have a wonderful time. Surprises are planned for the rest of the family who stay out ! of the way of the amateur chefs. Young people go to bed earlier now on Saturday nights and get up earlier on Sundays. Sometimes they go to church early and go off on a picnic. What's behind the early to bed. early to rise program, church, cook ing and consideration for the date's pocketbook? "Why, an engagement ring." says one girl, looking surprised. "If you save his money he'll be able to afford one. If he notes that you can cook as well as his mother, sew. and do not have an antipathy to dish water and dust clpths and loathe spending money, he won't have too many questions to ask himself when ho gets ready to propose." There is no doubt that the trend to early marriage is slowing down the pace of young people. Adventists Have Program Article In Sept. Coronet "The publishers of Coronet have done us a real service," said J. O. Wilson, pastor of the Adventist churches in the Waynesville-Ha/.el wood-Svlva district, "in Celling ' America and the world about the work of our 'Gospel Physicians' (September Coronet, page 134c To keep those physicians at their posts around the world is a major part of the purpose of our annual 'In gathering' campaign," he said. The campaign is gaing well this year. Wilson reports. The "Minute Man" suggestion is catching the imagination of a good many, he . said \ "Mi?Ute~Man" is one who gives the amount required to jup port the whole world-wide program for one minute, which is $23.11 this year, Mr. Wilson explained. An editor in a near-by city, hav ing himself become a "Minute Man," said some very impressive things recently in his editorial column about the work of Ad ventists. Wilson told us, and pro duced a clipping containing this statement: "I became a minuteman for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. . . 1 stood by the beds of ten thou sand sick people in all parts of the world. 1 gave them comfort. I supplied the medicine, and the skilled surgeons, and the equip ment, and the food, for hospitals in rich America and in the jungles of Rrazil and Ethiopia, and in nearly every land under the sen. 1 preached the gospel in churches and in straw-covered huts. I helped to build schools in all lands for j the enlightenment of thousands and thousands of children. 1 am not a member of this church, but 1 know their work, and I was glad for the privilege of carrying that work if only for a short min ute of time."

( Sumrrierfield disclosed today that theft of mail from home boxes ' by drug addicts has become a ma- I jor problem for postal inspectors ; fighting an unprecedented high in postal crimes. , The disclosure. Mr. Summerfield ; said, is contained in a report from Chief Postal Inspector David II. Stephens for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1956. The report revealed postal in spectors caused an unprecedented total of 6,852 arrests for postal crimes during the fiscal year. (A i total of 98.8 per cent of those brought to trial for their crimes were convicted.) The 6.852 figure compares with 6.631 arresis in the previous 1955 ! fiscal year, itself a record year. Of the total arrests in fiscal 1956, thefts from home mail boxes accounted for 3,113. or 48 per cent of the total. The fact that drug addicts crazed for narcotics and needing money to get drugs accounted for many of these thefts is illustrated by reports from New York City in spectors showing that well over 35 per cent of those arrested for home mail box depredations were ad dicts. The. national increase in drug addiction has been paralleled by 1 increases in home mail thefts in other areas of the nation also, he noted. In some other important cate gories of postal crime for fiscal 1956, Mr, Summerfield reported 1 that postal inspectors caused 470 arrests for burglary. 274 for mail fraud. 19 for holdups. 284 for forg I ery of money orders and postal sav ings certificates, 224 for sending obscene matter through the mails. 49 for theft of government funds and property. 17 for sending scurri lous or defamatory mail, 8 for sending posions and 6 for sending explosives. Commenting on the 3,113 arrests for depredations of home mail boves, Mr. Summerfield pointed out the growth of this crime has created hardship and even serious 1 deprivation in many instances for i persons dependent on receiving government or private checks ! through the mails, such as those who are retired or disabled. Often it may take them several months to have a check replaced. Postal patrons can help the en forcement work of postal inspec tors by keeping mail boxes locked and reporting stolen checks promptly to their postmasters. And merchants and others in the habit pf cashing checks can assist by making certain who their endorsers are. [s Honored At Farewell Party The Rev. A. L. Gardin, pastor of the Hazel wood Church of God, and his wife and daughter. Geretha. were honored at a farewell party given by the membership of the church Monday night in the par sonage. The Gardins left Tuesday ?or Statesville where Mr. Gardin will assume new duties as pastor oi church. Mrs. Sam Grooms and Mrs. Bill Maney were in charge of the re freshments and Mrs. Clyde Riggins was in charge of games for small children. Arrangements of fall flowers were used in decorating. Around seventy-five guests were present. New Hazard LONDON, Ont. 1AP1 ? Some! mailmen are bothered by dogs.
