It also would tend to reduce the price differential between "green'' and seasoned lumber. The Lumber Manufacturers Association proposal has formidable support the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, the National Association of Home Builders, American Institute of Architects. There also is opposition, and not all of it from producers of green lumber. Some water carriers see the change as being, in effect, a cut in rail rates.

Commerce will decide by May or June whether to make the change. Meanwhile there will be congressional hearings. This is Eighth Street. Holland. Michigan, as it sh(mld be or though thfj matter may seem inconsequential at first glance, the stakes involved are considerable.

The debate was followed by a period of questions and answers from the Jaycee audience membership. Here again there was considerable evidence that individual members of the group had taken the time to inform themselves on the question.

Many thought-provoking questions were posed and elicited stimulating responses and counter responses from the two panels. This period was followed by general discussion of an intelligent nature by the membership generally. A further, noteworthy aspect was the fact that the Jaycees were willing, after hearing both sides, to go on record and publicly state their position.

None can dispute his devotion, his valor and tenacity.

Chances are you'll also find a new Federal Reserve Note which simply says, "The United of America One Dollar." What's behind that second note? Is it worth anything more than the paper it's printed on? What, if anything, can you demand from the Treasury in exchange for it? Under legislation passed last year, Congress authorized the issuance of $1 Federal Reserve notes to replace the familiar silver certificate. Since the new notes went into circulation In December, the Treasury has been swamped by worried letters asking what is backing this dollar, and some jumpy bankers even have cried "Fiat Money!" a reference to Civil War times when paper currency "greenbacks" were i without benefit of any backing.

He was a symbol of dogged determination to win the Pacific War from the Japanese, just as he attempted to recover from his recent ailments. But the pass of time made MacArthur an old man, although he seemed unchanged to many persons, until the shocking picture of a month ago when, thin and emaciated, he was photographed as he arrived at Walter Reed hospital. Now he has joined the list of past American heroes. --Albion Evening Recorder LAST MUSTER LIVES IN HISTORY The old soldier is gone, slipped into the shadows of his- torf.

The note has the sa'me legal status, the same buying power as the silver certificate. Only if the nation went bankrupt, might any difference turn up.

Then an individual holding a i certificate might claim first call on the country's silver supply. If that time ever comes, though, the United States will need a lot more than a hoard of silver to survive. How much can you trust the $1 Federal Reserve note? As much as you can trust any U. S. paper currency or coin.

Silver's importance as backing for our paper money never has been significant. Today, more than $32 billion of Federal Reserve notes are in circulation against a mere S2 billion in silver certificates even before the Treasury began retiring them. The crucial fact is that our money supply is backed only fractionally by gold or silver. Precious metal is not the key force behind our paper currency's value.or reputation. Why the elimination of the silver-backed bills? silver in coins as well as for backing paper money, to preserve the metal for mote urgent needs.

what's behind our paper dollars? Our faith is the financial soundness of our country, in our economy's strength and in the stability of the free world. This confidence actually is all that ever has been behind it. The whole concept of redeem- ability of paper currency is outmoded in today's world, and virtually no major nation outside of ours exchanges paper currency for metal. As one high authority puts it, "Silver and gold are simply arbitrary standards of value, not media of exchange. It's old- fashioned to think that money in circulation should depend on silver or gold." (Distributed 1964, by The Hall Syndicate, Inc.)

Dear Ann Landers: I have been saving a few dollars every week from the grocery and household money. This has been going on for over three yeyars. I kept the money in a sugar bowl on the top shelf of the cupboard.

Last week I took the money down to count it. I put the roll of bills on the stove for just a minute, not realizing the coffee pot was on the back burner. I turned my back for two seVmds and the bills caught on fire. I poured a glass of water over the bills and save part of them. Please tell me what to do now.

WATER AND ASHES Dear and I can't tell from your letter how badly burned the bills are. If more than half of a bill is intact, any bank will give you full value. So, Lady, take the money to the nearest bank, which is what you should have done with it in the first place. Sugar bowls are for sugar. Dear Ann Landers: Last night I got the shock of my life.

I keep the house in good order, I cook and bake and enjoy being at home. I don't want to go to work. The fact is, I hate it. Our three children like to have me here when they come from school, and I want to be here. Am I selfish as my says? He has made me feel terribly guilty.

Tell me if you believe I should go to work to please him. L.S.M. Dear L.S.M.: I think your husband is i through the change of life. Some men (as well as women) undergo personality alterations when they hit middle age. Suggest that he see a doctor.
