Plywood is migrating South partly to save freight (the South is nearer to most markets than the Northwest) and partly to take advantage of the South's rising supply of available timber, but it is a new technology that makes the move possible.

The nearer he gets the more emotionally fixed upon his course of action he becomes. Finally, he destroys life in the very way that is most repugnant to his society. Having betrayed his own code, he himself no longer has any right to go on living...
