restrictions were placed on the
company, Jim Webster, Kirby
director of governmental af-
fairs said last week.
According to today's an-
nouncement by President Tom
Orth, Kirby's Board of Di-
rectors has formally approved
plans to construct a plywood
plant and sawmill on Kirby land
approximately nine miles east
of Cleveland on Highway 105.
The combined facilities will
represent a capital investment
of over |20 million and will
produce 150 million square feet
of plywood and 80 million board
feet of lumber annually.
Employment within the
complex will total nearly 400
personnel, adding over $4 mil-
lion in direct payroll to the local
economy.
Construction of the plants
will begin immediately, accord-
ing to the announcement, and
C. B. Stevens, Kirby’s vice
president of manufacturing op-
erations, expects the plants to
be operational in late 1960.
Primarily a lumber manu-
facturer from 1901 until 1963,
the company is now widely
recognised as the ‘‘inventor’’ of
Southern Pine plywood. Stud-
ies initiated in 1961 by the firm
led to the birth of a new
Southern industry that now
supplies nearly 40 percent of all
softwood plywood consumed in
the United States. Kirby's first
plywood facility wu built in
1M4 at Silsbee and it produced
86 million square feet anually.
Today, the firm's annual ply-
wood capacity totals 450 million
square feet, making it the
largest in the State of Texas.
The new Cleveland plant, when
completed in 1960, will increase
total capacity to 600 million
square fret and Kirby will rank
among the largest producers in
the nation, supplying enough

plywood to build 120,000 single-
family dwellings each year.
The firm's production Of
plywood, lumber, particle-
board, preservative-treated
wood products and industrial
wood components is backed by
over 680,000 acres of company-
owned tree farms in Texas and
Louisiana. Kirby’s operations
are baaed on a sustained-yield
forest management concept
that perpetuates and increases
the annual yield from its forest
lands.
Last year, Kirby planted
nearly 12 million trees on
nearly 17,000 acres of its tree
farms, and by 1960, it will have
planted a tree for each person
living in the United States.

THUR8DAY, JULY 13,1978
Read Psalm 4:6-8
“Do not be grieved, for the
joy of the Lord is your
strength." [Nehemiah 8:10
RSV] '
The winter of 1977 was hard
for people in the United States.
Natural gas was in shoit
supply, and long periods of
sub-zero temperatures threat-
ened to halt the normal way of
life. Many persons' faces show-
ed signs of worry and tension.
During this period of anx-
iety, a snowstorm dumped four
or five inches of heavy, wet
snow on Nashville, Tennessee.
Suddenly the mood of the city
changed. Snow people popped
up all over town, like daffodils
after the first warm day of
spring. In some parts of town
every yard had a snow sculp-
ture, and whole families made
images of themselves in snow
tableaux on their front lawn.
Whether the statues were
carefully sculpted or merely
rolled up balls of leaf-stained
snow, they displayed the crea-
tivity of the human spirit.
The snow people are a cause
for hope. Although they cannot
talk, the statues speak eloquen-
tly of the creativity and joy God
puts within ua all. In spite of
hard winters and gas short-
ages, in spite of our own
pessimism, the hope God hides
in us will spill out, renewing us
and giving uo cause for joy.
PRAYER: Dear God, thank
You for the snow people and
the other signs of joy that
abound in our lives. Please help
us to recognize these signs
when we see them. Amen
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I will do something to encour-
age joy ta living.
