Cory of the U 8. Forest Service. The project forester explained that military and essential civilian require ments for lumber alone now stand at about 86,000.000,000 board feet for this year, or three and one-half blllhm fret more than the production quota an nounced eaiiler.thia year. To maet this Increased quota producers will have to take fall advantage of every favorable break in their production proUems. In addition to lumber, be eald that vast quantltlea of palpwood are need ed, as well as increased supplies of veneer, chemical woods, charcoal, rail road tlM, poles and piling. Altogether, more than 1200 items for direct mili tary and war-related use require wood. The Timber Production War Proj ect in this section is working in close cooperation with 8. L. Harlow, State WPB lumber advisor, on a five-told program designed to bring about a maximum timber output. Among the objectives of the TPWP program are (1) the location of stumpage for mills heeding'It; (2) help In locating mar kets for timber where It will do its best war job; (8) help to operators in obtaining or holding trained workers; (4) assistance in obtaining essential equipment,' and (6) aid in the solution of problems of labor, marketing, trans portation, and financing.

Don Hufton. famous pass receiver of the Green Bay Packers, has a mus cle man, who is none other than Larry Craig, powerful Bouth Carolinian, quarter b^k for the Wisconsin profes sional team. Craig is quarterback on the Packer team, which under the old Notre Dame system, does not permit of him handling the ball etlber a& A runoor or passer or pass catcher. He is strictly a blocker and thts''[:i8 how he pays handsome dividends to and the Packer team. For Larry has a chore to do when the Packers start searching fair a touchdown. Craig takes all the buffeting and pummeling that Hutson would ordi- nariiy receive, j The ^ reaaaa—Den Ja too valuable a man to the Packer ma chine to be subjected to a lot of rough handling. And they really do handle them rough in the pro-league. When the opposition takes the ball Craig immediately shifts to the left end spot while Hutson goes into the back field. When the Bays get the leather ihe iwQ men shift back.

Later at Wrlgley Field in Chica go McAfee grabbed a Green Bay pass and Craig caught him from behind on the 19 yard line. Craig weighs 210. pounds, is raw boned, has long arms and big hands. The Craig family, points oat Prell, is as famous In 8mth (htrollna football lore as Notre Dame’s Miller clan, and Larry is the last of the Craigs.
