THE VALUE OF THE LUMBERING INDUSTRY TO THE COMMUNITY Because the community from which Roosevelt High School draws its students is economically dependent to a marked extent upon the various divisions of the lumber industry, the general fact of the value of lumbering to the community may readily be perceived. Nevertheless, the vital part which this industry has played both in developing and maintaining the economic stability of this suburb of Portland is made more ostensible, even surprising, by a survey of the establishments in the community .associated with the lumber industry. A visit to three of the larger lumber mills in St. Johns disclosed a number of interesting facts. The three establishments surveyed employ a total of 985 workmen and pay approximately $155,000 monthly in wages. Some of the finished articles produced are shipped to every civilized country in the world. Of the one hundred lumbercarrying vessels which leave Oregon ports every month, a great number not only arc loaded in the community, hut are filled with products manufactured in the community. The modes of manufacture are the most modern. Several important discoveries, nearly revolutionizing certain aspects of the lumber industry, have been made and are being developed and operated in the community. The lumber industry in St. Johns is responsible for a considerable portion of the annual income from the lumber industry in Oregon of $105,909,435. Despite the size of these statistics, they represent hut three mills, only an exemplary part of the large lumber industry and the resulting large income, most of which can safely be said to be invested in community enterprise. Moreover, in addition to being a vital factor in the economy of the community, the lumber industry also affects the business and industrial status of the surrounding region, business conditions in the city at large inevitably reflecting the vicissitudes of the lumber industry. Cognizant of the importance of the lumber industry, the 1939 Ranger staff had decided to use this industry as the theme of this year’s issue of the annual. By borrowing its inspiration from the lumber industry, for both the art and the literary composition, the staff has attempted to show the relation of the industry to the community.
