You Can Buy Lumber With Muscles and Shape

Bv H. V. Simpson Executive Vice President \West Coast Lumbermen's Association

All over the country the swing is from steel to timber.

To help conserve scarce steel for military and munitions use, the Douglas fir lumber industry has stepped into the breach as it did in World War II and since with an accelerated production of structural lumber, heavy timbers and industrial items.

No change-over or plant conversion was necessary as hundreds of West Coast sawmills turned their production might to cutting structural lumber and heavy timbers.

Normally timbers and structural lumber make up about ten per cent of the production at West Coast fir mills. Now, at many mills, as much as 50 and even 60 per cent of the entire output is going into this urgently needed heavy construction lumber. Not all. logs will make this type of long, strong timbers so mills are limited in their ability to manufacture structural lumber by the available logs that will make timbers.

Structural timber construction is now serving adequately with outstanding success where steel once had a clear field. This is due in large part to irnproved engineering, better fabricating and erecting techniques of trusses and beams built up from wood.

The development of the TECO ring connector during the past decade has had substantial influence in enlarging lumber's tlse as an engineering material. The gratifying strides rnade in perfecting glues and glueing technique has created the fame,1 glue-laminated wooden members which have opened up whole new fields of use for wood.

Glue-laminated beams, trusses, columns and solid wooden lrrer.nbers can be built up in a wide variety of size, shapes, lengths and styles. Thus, we can literally mal<e big one out of little ones. We can put muscles in lumber that nature has never been able to do. We can also give lumber some amazing shapes and curves to give it unusual beauty in long, graceful structural beams.

\\re can improve on nature by using the natural fibre strength and stiffness of wood. We can glue one and two-inch boards into almost any shape, size and length timber piece. The glued-up truss or beam is as strong is not stronger than a solid wooden metrber of the the same size.

We can compete successfully with steel from a cost standpoint on much construction work.

Some fabricated wooden trusses have been built well over 200 feet in length and are serving with distinction in such clemanding tasks as in single-span, bow-type-truss wooden bridges and, in large buildings especially where column-free space is needed.

The lumber industry, in effect, has given the country an entirely new structural material-the built-to-order, giant timber.with muscles and shape, the amazing glue-laminated beam and truss. All of the remarkable features which nature

has built into wood in strength and workability has been captured and improved upon in this new construction material.

Wood is stronger pound-for-pound than steel. Where weight is a factor, wooden beams and trusses particularly fill the bill. Wooden trusses are easy to install and can be fabricated and assembled with a minimum of delay.

Contractors have found the case of on-the-job fabrication, assembly and erection one of the attractive recommendations for wood as a structural material. Wood is easy to work, can be cut, shaped and fit on the job with a few light tools, and almost any carpenter can do the work. The completely assembled beams can be lifted into place with travelling cranes ur hoists and quickly fastened.

Some of our companies out here in the West which specialize in glue-laminated beams and trusses are doing double the business today they did before Korean difficulties arose.

Wooden trusses are being used in an endless variety of heavy duty jobs. The government is buying timbers in ever increasing amounts and a recent innovation is the pre-fabrication of bridge timbers rvhich are packaged 1,000 feet to a pacl<age with nails, hammer, bolts, nuts and ship's auger complete in each package and shipped overseas.

The navy's ship building program calls for increasing volume of Douglas fir timbers. Some will be glued together in curved ribs for a host of small craft needed in present-day warfare. The army likes timbers for. pontoon bridges, and many field and combat uses.

Roof trusses, fabricated highway bridge trusses, church and school beams shaped in beautiful curving structural members, wooden columns and fabricated piers, glued-up curved ribs for small commercial structures, barns and auditoriums-these are but a few of the multiple uses for this fascinating new construction material.

This is big business for the Douglas fir lurnber industry. One large proposed warehouse in Ohio called for 1,500 tons of steel. Steel was not available, so the engineers turned to wood and 835,000 board feet were used in trusses, columns, and rafter supports. The story is the same all over the country.

This u'ood-ward swing is bringing a large volume of business to our Douglas fir mills. Shortage of steel because of Korean fighting needs has served to accelerate the trend to wood which (Continued on Page 60)

I cannot climb a hill on New Year's Day, And, looking down the coming year, behoid The good that shall befall me on the way, The ill and heartbreak that the days unfold. But I am sure of this: the unknown year Will bring me various hours when I shall need Patience for waiting, courage for my fear, And resoluteness if I would succeed. There will be hours demanding faith, when I Can see no farther-and bring hope, and prayer; And ah, there will be times when earth and sky Will be so lovely and all life so fair, And love so very sweet, I shall stand dumb. God help me journey through this year to come. *

V. Emans.

I'm glad I cannot, like the poet quoted above, climb a hill on New Year's Day and look down upon the coming year. The way things look in the world right now with all the dark clouds that seem hanging low, I fear such prospect might give me the jitters, and, instead of looking into the future I'd close my eyes tight, fearful of what I might see.

During the dark a"y" lf t"i., Forge, Thomas paine utteied the famous words: "These are times that try men's souls," Change "try" to "fry" and you've got a pretty fair description of world prospects as this New Year opens. You've got to draw hard on your faith to find the prospect at all encouraging to the whole human race.

Caesar said that he "found Rome wood and left it gold." The year 1951 did the same-in reverse. Business and industry profited highly during the year.in this country; but to the world in general it was a depressing, disagreeable year. Fear has waved a dark banner over the human mind. There wasn't a good laugh in the whole twelve months.

Come to think or it, rslz l"orlrun'. have to be anything very wonderful to be a happier year for humanity than 1951, now would it? Personally, I'm inclined to think she'll make it.

Let us fix in our -i"d"'ari. J.""aoul sentiments of the poetess, Mary G. Brainerd:

"f see not a step before me, As f tread on another year; But the past is still in God's keeping, The future His mercy shall clear; And what looks dark in the distance, May brighten as I draw near."

Two middle-aged businessmen, strangers to one another, are sitting side by side in a train. Both are quiet, pieoccupied, worried looking. Finally one of them heaves a long, loud sigh. The other one said: "You'fe telling me !"

Get up right in .rr" ,"J"ilg. Go to bed right at nightStart with joy in your heart, hope in the future, kindliness in your purpose. If it is a dark day, never mind-help lighten it up. If it is a bright day, you can add to its brightness. Give a word of cheer, a kindly greeting, a warm hand-shake to your friends. Forgive, and try to forget your enemies. If all of us would bear in mind that happiness is from within and not from without. there rvould be a well-spring of joy in human hearts, and the sun would shineforever'

The world committed the Golden Rule to memory, but forgot to commit it to life-and NOW look!

Lincoln said: "We """"ja"J.nl" *". for a worthy object, and the war will not end until that object has been attained. Under God, we hope it will not end until that time."

Socrates said, in a*.,rlf"g tl-".f before his judges: "During my life f have not sought ambition, wealth. I have not sought to adorn my body, but I have sought to adorn my soul with the jewels of patience and justice, and above all, with the love of liberty."

The Third Chapter of Ecclesiastes says: "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to love and a time to hate; a time of war and a time of peace." We know the prophecy is true regarding war, but wonder when that time of peace is going to show up. * ,< *

Shakespeare was no doubt top man in the writing world, but when it came to prophecy he was a washout. Witness that he says in "Anthony and Cleopatra": "The time for universal peace is near." Near what?

And Victor Hugo *r" io 0.,a., in the prophecy department. Long ago he wrote: "In the twentieth century war will be dead; hatred will be dead: frontier boundaries will be dead; MAN WILL LIVE!"

He Knew His Pastor Wdl

An old friend, Ralph Skidmore, who spends some of his winters playing golf in Florida, sends along the following story as one that actually happened to him. Anyway, it's brand new to me, and is a good sample of that sort of humor, so here it is:

One day he found himself being assisted by a colored caddie of middle age, who turned out to be an absolute topnotch member of his golf-bag-toting profession. So well was he impressed with the excellence of the caddie, that he decided to praise him, and have some fun with him at the same time. So, at the end of the first nine holes he said to the caddie: "Mose, I like you for a caddie very much, and to show you f do I'm going to give you an extra dollar at the finish of this game, but with one understanding; that you put the dollar in the collection plate in church next

At the end of the game he said to the caddie: .,Mose, I like your work so much that I'm going to double that offer I made you. I'll give you two dollars extra if you promise to put them both in the collection plate in church next Sunday." The caddie was profuse in his thanks, and assured him the two dollars would go in the plate as he suggested. So my friend said to the caddie: "Mose, do you go to church every Sunday?" Mose said, "Yassuh, nevah misses a Sunday." So he asked: "And do you know your pastor well?" The answer was: "Yassuh, I knows him good.', So he asked: "Who is your pastor, Mose?"

Reminiscences

Bv \fl. H.

I have been indebted to The California Lumber NlercharrL er number of times in the past for giving space to rny articles on the lumber industry, and am now submitting r.'i'hat may be called my valedictory with the hope that it may meet the eye of any of my old associates with u'hon.r I have lost contact.

I am inspired by a visit made last week to the office of Patten-Blinn Lumber Company in Los Angeles, where I talked with my old friend Everett Parker, the able manager, and learned from him of the few survivors of the period when I rvas active in the industry.

I might be called a "lone wolf," as I knor'v of none no'iv living who were active in the lumber industry prior to 1900. I started to rvork for the Ganahl Lumber Co. in 1886, and subsequently worked for the Western Lumber Co. at 9th and San Pedro Streets, and also put in the yard at Chino, California, for the Perry N{ott Company, now operated by the Barr interests.

In 1890 I joined u'ith the Bridal Veil Lumber Company, Bridal Veil, Ore. During part of this time I l-racl an office in Denver, selling Pacific Coast lumber products to yards in Clolorado and Nebraska, at nhich time I visited the first Iixposition in Chicago.

In 1894 I returr-red to Los Angeles and resolved to start in business on my own, my only assets being my previous experiences in Los Angeles, and my ability to obtain credit from mills in the North as a source of supply.

I ordered a carload of Oregon pine from a mill in Portl:incl, borrorving the money to pay the freight. This lumber I stored in a l.varehouse and peddled it out at cut prices, thus incurring the displeasure of regular dealers. I also started a jobbing business,-first on commission and later buying and selling.on my own account, covering yards in the San Joaquin Valley and in Arizona and Nen' N{exico.

l,ater on I added hardr,vood lumber and flooring to my c()verage. At that time I was the only hardr,vood dealer in the I-os Angeles area, and until the advent of E. J. Stanton who came from Williams, Arizona, to represent the Sagir.rau'Lumber Co.

Nlr. Stanton had some capital and follorved my example by opening a small yard at Seventh and Crocker Streets. He stocked it lvith hardn'ood and Sugar and Yellorv Pine,

Cclilornic Redwood Association Conducts Successful Grcrding School crt Cloverdcrle

A grading school conducted by the California Redrvood Association for the redlvood graders of Sonoma County and southern l\fendocino County has just reached a stlccessful conclusion rvith a final in-the-plant session at the Rounds & Kilpatrick Lumber'Co.

The school was supervised by George Nelson, and was conducted at Cloverdale for 5 previous evenings. Over 100 interested graders attended each meeting ancl engaged in

Montgomery

thus launching the E. J. Stanton & Son enterprise that became one of the dominant factors in the Los Angeles field.

The only other two men now living that I contacted in the period before l90O are Perry Whiting and Jim Shultz.

Perry was a small contractor and one of my first customers, and who later started a wrecking business with Billy Mead, and operated a small yard of second hand materials, which signaled the humble start of the WhitingMead Company, u'hose history is recorded in his book entitled, "Perry."

Mr. Shultz was another self made man who opened the E. K. Wood wholesale yard in Redondo about 1895, and later his own yard in Los Angeles from which he retired, and I understand is now a big oil man up North.

About the year 1900 I .ivas joined by John F. Mullin, who had formerly been lvith the San Pedro Lumber Co., but was then operating his ou'n yard in Jerome, Arizona. We formed the Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Company rvhich continued in operation unt1l 79i7 when rve disposed of ten yards to the Patten-Blinn Lumber Company, keeping only trvo in Arizona, and the Hollywood yard, which I personally took over and ran until the land became toc-r valuable for a lumber business. We then discontinued the Flollyt'ood yard and secured tenants for buildings we erected that include the Good Humor Ice Cream Company, the Averill Mongan Cleaning Company, and Rail.ivay Express, all on long leases that pav a good income.

At the present time I lvould probably not be able to locate half a dozen real "old timers" in Los Angeles. This reminds me that George Lounsberry's father, Frank Lounsberrv. rvas a customer of mine rvho was located in Boulder, Colorado at the time I rvas working out of Denver in 1893.

In San Francisco I knou' only Stanley Dollar who recently u'rote me of the controversy over the orvnership of the Dollar Steamship Company.

On retiring fron.r business f became a 'ivorld traveler, and have crossed the ocean fiftv times visiting Europe and the Orient, and spent tu'entv winters in Harvaii, 'lvhich f very much enjoyed.

Market for Building Materials Should Be Fairfy Satisfactory in 1952, Says Northup

Washington, D.C., Dec. 8.-The market for building materials commonly handled by retail lumber and building materials tlealers should be fairly satisfactory in1952, if defense agencies do not reverse the signals which they have been calling in recent weelts, H. R. Northup, executive vice president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated.

"Vcrlume may be down about 20 per cent for the year as a rvhole so far as nerv construction is concerned, but there should be no in.rportant drop in sales for repair and rnodertrization work," \Ir. Northup said.

"Dealers are entering the new year with rnore or less nonnal inverrtories, and no general shortages have been reported to date.

"A major part of the average retail lun-rber clealer's salcs go r'nto the housing, fann, commercial, and repair rnarkets. The voltune of nelr' commercial construction apparently is to be helcl dolr'n drastically, at least in the first half of the year, but housing clemand should not decline more than about 20 to 25 l)cr cent. if Xlobilizer Wilson's announced target of 850,000 ttnits remains in effect, a.nd no declir-re is anticipated in farm denl:rnd.

"Much will depend on hor.r' r,r'ell the self-certification plan tt'orks out. If it is retained on about the present basis, a consiclerable amount of smaller light construction work will go aheacl, especially if builders and contractors use a minimum arnount of critical material. There should be plenty of all types of lurnber to use in place of structural steel in housing and other structures.

"'The fact that 1952 is an election year may well serve t0 avert any atternpts to cut light construction back too severeh' because too manv millions of people would be directly affected and the actual r.naterial savings rn''oulcl mean relatively little to the over-all clefense prograrn."

U. S. Hqs 46 Million Homes

There are nearlv 46 million dn'elling units in the United States, according to the 1950 Census. This is an increase of 8.5.50,000 or 231', since 1940.

Huck Atterbury of Beaver Lumber Sales Co., Sar.r Francisco, attended the government lumber auction at Portland, December 11 and 12. He made the trip by air. Bill Ramsay of this firm, made an auto trip to Reno, Nevada, and Susanville, Calif., and visited their orvn mills at Medford on the rray back.

California Continues Champ Lumber Consumer

During the year 1951 the State oi California continued to lead all the states of the Union in the consurnption of various important species of lumber.

First, California continues to be the biggest consumer of Douglas Fir, a spot she has held rvithout close competition for the past several years.

Also, as shorvn in our annual Plywood Number last July first, this state far exceeds any other in the consumption of Fir Plyrvood.

The California Redwood Association figures for the first ten months of 1951, shorvs that its member mills shipped during those months a total of 360,595,000 ft. to all points. Of this total 128,114,000 feet n'as shipped into Northern California, and 80,223,000 feet into Southern California, a

News-Shingle Supplement Edition

Printed on Shingle

Problems of the shingle industry have changed little in the past 35 years according to shinglemen r,vho have examined a "shingle newspaper" found recently in the office of the Portland Shingle Company's Crescent Mill in Kelso, \\/ashington.

The "ne'n'spaper" rvas found by George Plumb, general

total of 208, 337,nO feet into the entire state, sholting that considerably more than half of the entire Redrvood Association mill production tvas shipped into this state. The Association table shorvs that 136,659,000 feet of Redu'ood was shipped into all the Eastern states combined during those ten months. This shows California to be a standout in Red'il'ood consumption.

Reports of the Western Pine Association indicate that California also consumes a greater quantity of both Ponderosa pine and Sugar pine than any other state. In 1950 the entire Ponderosa pine region produced a total of 4,117,000,000 feet of Ponderosa, and 320,000,000 feet of Sugar pine. Of these totals California took 18.3% of the Ponderosa. and D.2/o of the Sugar pine.

Construction Activity in November

\\,'ashington, D. C., Dec. 7-Total nerv construction activity declined seasonally in November, by 7 per cent, to $2.5 billion, the Building Nfaterials Division, U. S. Departrnent of Commerce and the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported jointly today. All major types of construction shared in the decline, but public construction dropped off relatively more than priv:rte, mainly because of the regular fall decline in highn.ay u'ork.

Less-than-seasonal declines occurred in residential building, privately owned public utilities, and important segrnents of public rvork, particularly in military and naval activit)'. Private industrial building and commercial building, ho*,ever, were both off more than seasonally, reflecting materials shortages.

Compared 'rvith a year ago expenditures for nerv construction put in place u'ere dorvn this November in almost all categories with the exception, chiefly, of defense-connected r,r,'ork, such as industrial, militarl' and naval, public utilitl', and hospital projects.

\(/inr Novemb er "ldea" Contest

A. H. Smith of 1333 Evelyn, Rockford, Illinois, has been alvarded a check for $50 by the Portland Shingle Company of Portlancl, Oregon for his suggestion submitted in the company's November "idea" contest, according to Alfred H. Schmidt, president of the firm.

The Portland Shingle Con.rpany is au'arding a $50 check each month to the individual submitting the most lvorthwhile suggestion for improving manufacturing methods and working conditions within the company, marketing, aclvertising, or utilization of its products, or developing new uses for \Vestern red cedar and waste products resulting from manufacture of cedar shingles and shakes. Suggestions are welcomed from company employees, wholesalers, dealers and users of Portland Shingle Company products, according to Schmidt.

A. H. Smith has suggested using trvo colors of shakes for siding on tall buildings, he indicates that by combining dark shakes on the second story of a house and lighter shakes on tl.re first story, the house will be more attractive and tend to look much lorver.

Previous "idea" contest r.vinners are Mrs. frene O'Connor, Amanda Park, Washington; Donald H. Clark, Seattle, Washington; NIiss Helen Reilly, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Kenneth Weber, Ridgefield, \\rashington.

Correction

In the December 15 issue it stated that Paul Robins was associated w'ith Earl F. White as a salesman. This was in error, as Mr. Robins has joined the sales staff of Earl F. Wood, Los Angeles, lvholesale lumber dealer.

November Housing Stcrts-76,000 Units

Homebuilders started 76,000 l1ew permanent nonfarm dwelling units in November, a seasonal decline of 10,000 units, or 12 per cent, from October, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Novernber decline in Housing activity was apparent in most sections of the countty, but was particularly sharp in the midwest and in the mountain states. Included in the November estimate were 2,300 nelv dwelling units started under auspices of the public housing authorities.

The million mark for new dwelling units started in 1951 was reached in November. The cumulative total for the first 11 months was 1.,022,600 units, compared with 1,302,400 for the same months in 1950. and 946,800 in the like 1949 period. Private builders' activity thus far in 1951 totaled 952,500 neu' dwelling units.

Pre-logging, salvaging, harvesting operations, marketing, and many other elements of tree farm practice on a farm woodland were shown. The program was on a pattern that may be easily adapted to any forest region, as has been done with "Keep Green" and the industrial tree farm program, which started on the West Coast. The main thing is to keep Tree Farm Field Day a farm-industry deal.

San Joaquin Hoo-Hoo Club No. 31 had a very enjoyable Christmas Party at the Desert Inn, with an attendance of 50.

The entertainment consisted of singing by Fay Riece, and the showing of two fine movies, one on the manufacture of plywood, and the other on hardboard production.

F. Dean Prescott, Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, in a short talk complimented the Club on what they have accomplished, and made a few constructive suggestions that might be cartied out in the future.

It was a day of practical demonstration of how to help nature make money grow on trees by farm forestry practices.

On one sample plot it was shown that a tree farmer could earn $45 per hour by pruning the young Douglas firs up to 18 feet-if the pruner would let the clear wood grow for 30 more years to provide the big pay for plain labor.

There were 65 such points of interest on the roadside "sho\arwindorv" route through the Valley Gem Tree Farms, near Arlington, Snohomish County, Washington, where the first Tree Farm Field Day of history was held. It was a wet and cold rvinier day but well before the American Legion began to serve lunch 1,500 people, mostly farm woodland owners, were in the dripping woods, seeing tree farming on the hoof.

The visitors heard about it too, at every point of interest. There were 50 foresters in the woods as answer men. The first demonstration was on an old stump pasture that had been burned over many times until eight years ago, when it was put under protection. Now Douglas fir seedlings were up in the fern patches. Ifere visitors were shown how to prevent and suppress fire.

One powerful point of interest was a thinned acre of Douglas fir and West Coast hemlock, age 40 years, from which sawlogs, pulpwood and hop poles had been taken and sold for

FHA Ready to Receive Applications For Oxnard-Port Hueneme Area

John E. Mc Govern, district director of the Federal Housing Administration, Los Angeles, has announced that his office will be ready on Wednesday, December 26, 1951, to receive applications for exceptions from credit restrictions from builders for the construction of the 800 units of defense housing programmed by the Housing and Home Finance Agency for the Oxnard-Port llueneme critical defense housing area.

The defense housing program for the Oxnard-Port Hueneme area, as announced by Administrator Raymond I\{. Foley of the HHFA, represents the estimated number of additional permanent housing units needed for in-migrant personnel of specified defense plants and installations. Construction of this housing will be assisted by suspension of real estate credit restrictions and by the aids auth,orized by the Defense Housing and Community Facilities and Services Act, mainly a new and more liberal form of FHA mortgage insurance under Title IX of the National Housing Act' Mr. Mc Govern announced that these aids are norv available for the housing which is approved for construction on thc basis of the applications that may now be filed rvith his office.

Eligible for the programmed housing in this area are the in-migrant defense workers or military and civilian personnel of the following defense establishments in the

area: Camarillo Air Strip, Na'r'al Station, Port Hueneme, Naval Air Missile Test Center, Point Mugu.

Of the 800 housing units programmed for the OxnardPort Hueneme area, 400 are to be rental and 400 sales housing. Of the .rental units, 70 are programmed as onebedroom units rvith a maximum monthly rent of $60.00, 250 as two-bedroom units with a maximum rent of $70.00, and 80 units of three or more bedrooms with a maximum rent of $80.00. Of the sales units, 150 are programmed as twobedroom units with a maximum price of $8750.00 and 250 as nnits containing three or more bedrooms with a maximum price of $10,@0.00--

In order that the housing constructed under the program ruay most nearly meet the needs of eligible defense workers (and military personnel) in the area, the FHA office will approve applicaions of builders on a selective basis, taking into consideration the follou'ing factors:

1. The proximity of the site of the proposed housing to the establishments rvhere eligible rvorkers are employed, :urd the desirability of the site with respect to transportation. commercial and community facilities and services, utilities. street improvements, and similar relevant factors.

2. The rents or sales prices proposed to be charged, the size of the units in terms of the number of rooms and bedrooms proposed to be provided, and the relationship betu'cen the accommodations proposed and the proposed rent or sales prices.

3. The capacity of the applicant to perform the undertaliing for rvhich he is applying for assistance.

Applications rvill be received b1' the FHA office located fi ll2 \\'. gth street, Los Angeles, California, during a 1.5-day period ending Tuesdal', January 15,1952, after which all applications received u'ill be considered and selective approvals'rvill be made. Thereafter, additional applications n'ill be approved only as llecessarv to make up any deficit in the program. Application Forms may be secured from the Federal Housing Administration offices at ll2 W. 9th Street, Los Angeles 15, or 735 State Strcet, Santa Barbara, California.

\\rhen a builder's application is approved, he rvill receive a certificate of inclusion in the defense housing prograln for the number and tvpes of housing units allotted to him. This certificate carries lr'ith it the privilege of relaxed credit controls. eligibility-subject to requirements of the National Housing Act-{or Title IX FHA mortgage insurance. and eligibility for participation in the Federal National Mortgage Association purchase set aside for the FHA-insured or \rA-guaranteed mortgages on programn-red defense housing.

New Kiln Will be in OPerction In Second Qucrrter ol 1952

Calaveras Cement Companv's t-relv fourth kiln lvill be rearlv for operation in the second quarter of. 1952. it u'as announced last month by William Wallace Mein, Jr., companl'president.

Company officers recently made a tour of inspection of the Oakland yards of Moore Drv Dock Company, rvhich is fabricating the kiln under subcontract from Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company of Miln'auke, Wisconsin.

Wins Certificatc of Award

The public relations program being conducted by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has been singled otit for high praise by the public relations profession.

NRLDA's entry in the 1951 Annual Awards Competition conducted by the American Public Relations Association won a Certificate of Ar,r'ard "in recognition of outstanding achievement in public relations."

The three other national trade associations n'hich also gained recognition all have considerably larger budgets for public relations activities than does NRLDA.

The entry dealt with only part of NRI-DA's public relations program-the part n'hich is designed to help individual dealers carry on effective public relations u'ork in their ou'n communities.

Illustrating hou' the program has been developed, NRLDA submitted its Public Relations Guide, the four supplements to the Guide, a description of the Minute Man program together u'ith a summary of its impressive results, and the annorlncement of the nen' Public Relations Contest {or retail lumber dealers.

The official citation read as follon-s :

"Recognition is given to the skillful execution of this association's program. fts clear-cut goal rvas recognition by each member of the value of a Public Relations program of his orvn, and to enable him to carry on such a program successfully. In a carefully prepared, simple, and graphically illustrated manual, identification of the Retail Lumber Dealer's publics 'lvas set forth and specific directions rvere given in the rrtilization of various media for the establishment of good relationships 'n'ith these publics.

"Supplements planned sirnultaneouslv n'ith the manual expanded especiallf importarrt facets of the program outlined in the manual."

A Mcn's Creed

Let me live, O Mighty Master, Such a life as men should know: Tasting triumph and disasterJoy-but not too much of woe. Let me run the gamut over, Let me fight, and love, and laugh, And when I'm beneath the clover, Let this be my epitath:

Here lies one who took his chances, In the busy world of men; Battled luck and circumstances, Fought, and fell, and fought again; Won sometimes, but did no crowing; Lost sometimes, but did not wail; Took his beating, but kept going; Never let his courage fail.

Ennobling You

Where you are is of no moment, but only what you are doing there. ft is not the place that ennobles you, but you the place. And this only by doing that which is great and noble.-Petrarch.

Didn't Want the Best

Pure water is the best of gifts, That man to man can bring, But who am I that I should have The best of everything?

Let princes revel at the pump, Let peers with ponds make free, Whiskey, or wine, or even beer Is good enough for me.

Clipt.

Hints lor Knockers

A peasant with a troubled conscience went to a wise and good man for advice, saying he had circulated a vile and false story about another, and wanted to do something about it.

The good man told him to fill a bag with chicken feathers, go to every doorway in the village, and drop some feathers into every place. The man did as he was told, and then went back to the wise man, saying he had done penance for his folly. But the wise man said, no, fir'st he must go back over his route and pick up every feather he had dropped, and put them back in the bag.

"But the wind will have blown them all away," said the peasant.

"Yes, my son," said the wise man, "and so it is with gossip and slander. Words are easily dropped, but no matter how hard you try you can never get them back again."

At Fontcineblecru

My love and f to Fontainebleau

Drove through the slanting, silver rain, Never was fairer way to go

Than that same road to Fontainebleau.

For slender dreams were blossoming, Its cloth of gold and mauve, the spring Through fragrant rain, was offering.

Fluttering leaves at Fontainebleau

Were sheathed in silver as a sword, Were starred with many a pearl, and O, Our hours were short at Fontainebleau ! All cfther days may pass and fade

But not this one that love had made For our reward, in light arrayed.

Do you remember FontainebleauThis swift turned tree, that drowsy bloom, Such song from lark and thrush as tho Our hearts were pierced at Fontainebleau?

f can recall your softest sigh

That as a white moth drifted by, And each perfume, and our-goodby.

-Elizabeth Shaw Montgomery.

The Scxophone and Social Success

It was only a short time ago that f scoffed at the saxophone. f never dreamed that it had such possibilities. A social bore, finally I turned to that instrument as a last desperate resort.

My experiment was a huge success overnight. Now I am the life of the party. "Here comes George !" they shout gleefully whenever I enter the room at a party. "He's brought it with him," they call. "Good old George !" they all say. These and kindred phrases greet me on every hand.

I've definitely arrived, and I owe it all to discovery that a saxophone holds four times as much liquor as a hip fask.

All the Team They Needed

Satan, so the story goes, called St. Peter on the telephone and suggested that they get up a baseball game, with teams to represent their respective places, heaven and hell.

"That's silly," said St. Peter. "Ilave you ever stopped to think what the heavenly team would be like? Why, we've got every great player in baseball history up here, a thousand of them, all famous players for every position. What chances would your team have?"

And Satan roared with unholy laughter:

"We've got the umpires," he said.

Shabta-Cascade Hoo-Hcio Club Hears Forestry Speaker

The Shasta County Hoo-Hoo Club held their regular monthly dinner meeting at La Porta's. V. A. Parker, Supervisor of Lassen National Forest was the guest speaker of the evening. He spoke on the subject of "Forestry Angles in Marketing Government Timber." Mr. Parker outlined forest service practice and in addition, touched upon the subject of the tremendous amount of timber, a great deal of which is mature and ready for harvesting, not only in Lassen National Forest but in other National Forests located in the counties of Siskiyou, Shasta, Trinity, Humboldt and other areas. He stated that it has been conservatively estimated that on a sustained yield basis, approximately 470 million feet could be harvested annually, with a great deal of this timber available for mills in Redding and nearby points. At the present time only about 85 million feet is being harvested annually from these areas. After his talk, Mr. Parker answered many very interesting questions.

The next dinner meeting will be held at La Porta's in Redding on Saturday, December 29. President Erv Bartel appointed Coy Brown, Chairman, with Carl Knauer and H. K. Ludington as a committee to arrang'e details for Ladies Night. Dancing will follow the dinner.

Preparations are being made to hold a Concatenation on February 16. Exact details of this meeting will be completed at a later date.

Plywood Plant To Be Built ln Juneau, Alaska

Announcement was made recently by Thomas A. Morgan, president of Columbia Lumber Company of Alaska, Juneau, that his company will build a plywood plant in Juneau which will give constant employment to about-200 workers. Construction costs of the plant are estimated in excess of $1,000,000.

Mr. Morgan estimates that the plant will be completed about the middle o{ next summer. Full production schedule calls for three million feet of finished plywood to be turned out each rronth.

The announcement followed the successful bid of the Juneau conlpany oI $418,275 f.or 777 niillion feet of topgrade timber in a stand on Kosciusko Island. The U. S. Forest Service announced the awarding of the contract October 24.

The main building of the plywood plant will occupy all area of 80,000 square feet. The building will be 4OO feet long by 200 feet wide.

The timber stand recently acquired by the company col'rtains high quality spruce, hemlock and cedar.

Alaskans will have first ,call on the plywood produced at the nerv factory. The balance will be shipped to eastern markets in the United States, Mr. Morgan said.

Out the Woods ot Bv

Jim Stevens

Evergreen William B. Greeley, rvhose rousing story of American Forestry, "Forests and Nlen," is nor,v in its fourth edition and selling in quantities to early Christmas shoppers, has come up with a porverful new slogan.

It is "Use Al1 the Wood," and the Washington Institute of Forest Products has nailed it to the masthead of its "Nerv Wood-Use Series." Nothing could be better for the Institute's growing campaign to turn present-day logging leftovers into marketable material.

A contract logger, Theo. F. Wall, and the Longvierv Fibre and the Harbor Plywood companies, have come up rvith a new way to "use all the \\,ood." Its medium is a portable mill, with an electric generator to feed seven motors, a drag saw, a splitter .r.nd conveyors.

For 40 years Logger Wall has u'orried about the loggir-rg residues of broken trees, the sound chunks from shattered boles, and the top-grade wood left in logs more than 50 per cent defective. Nou' he's .ivorking on them.

HemlockPayoff...

Ten years ago Dr. Bror [-. Grondal, forest products 1>rofessor at the University of Washington, started experiments on machines to roam tl-re slash and lvork it up for. its good tuoo,1-.-"gleaning for green gold," as he called it.

Study and experimentation have gone on, at Oregon State's forestry school under Dean Paul Dunn, and in the Washington Institute of Forest Products, rvhich Literatrrs Bill Greeley and a devoted band of research-mindecl fo:-esters set up rvith relentless effort some seven years ago.

Norv the Wall rig splits and sarvs rvoocl out of logs so defective that they rvere not tallied in the Institute's IJnused \A/ood Inventory of 1949. The split rvood is loa<led in brrndles on a dual rear axle drive truck ancl dual axle wag'on type trailer. The unit carries record oavloads of up to l2l cords.

The orrtfit is breaking even, at latest r-eport. on West Coast hernlock pulpu'ood bolts alone. It is at u,ork at an olcl landing e:rst of Marble Nfountair-r on pine Creek. a lrranch of the l-ervis River in Skamania Countr,, Wasl-r_ inr3ton. The original stand hacl nrore tharr 100,000 boar<l

Ieet per acre of decaying fi: and hemlock. Regular logging \\'as a loss, after the peelers urere taken, as so much of the stand rras defective.

HogJuice...

Back in 1937 I rvas stirred by a U. S. Engineers' surr.ey of clectric por\:er procluction on the Colunrbia. It shou'ed that by far tl-re cheapest po\ver lvas from steant plants 'r,r'hich fecl on hog fuel. The notion that hit llre as I read the repo:t u':rs that electric power procluction from hog fuel might servc as a means to clear the 311,000 acres of the 'Iillamook Burn of its snags.

If the Federal g'overnment could afford to spend billions on Columbia Basin dams and ditches for pon-er production and irrigation, rvhy couldn't it spend a ferv thousarids on thc burns and other barren spots of the Douglas fir- regior.r to generate "hog juice" and to make those spots safc frol.n fire and good for tree grorving?

It is a better question than ever, seelns to me. Torlav everr thc old-sclrool hyclro-electric pou.cr f:rnatics ;rre :r11mitting that the region needs more steam po\\-er plat.rts. Yes sir ! Fire 'em up with hog fuel. Clean up the slashings to the last sliver. Use all the n-ood !

Wallen Tallcs on Timber Resources of Redwood Region at Forestry Meeting

Portland, Nov. 28-California's Redwood and Douglas fir regions today have more than 600 sawmills and other wood-using plants, and back of them stands a forest of nearly 3,000,000 acres with an estimated sawtimber backlog of 48 billion board feet, Arnold F. Wallen, consulting forester, reported today in a talk prepared for the annual meeting of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association here.

"There is enough land with high growth potential to give northwestern California a stable forest economy if the resource is wisely used," Wallen declared.

Quoting federal forest survey figures adjusted f.rom 1946, Wallen estimated the California Redwood region's commercial forest area at 1,672,N0 acres with a total available virgin sawtimber volume of 36,092,ffi0,000 board feet. He placed the California Douglas fir region at 1,152,000 acres -with a virgin sawtimber volume of 12,491,C00,000 feet.

Wallen said "when it comes to growing the most wood 'per acre per year, the Redwood region is in the front row." He pointed out that logging started in the redwoods in 1851 and now, after .10O years of operations, a little more than half the ooriginal area is still in virgin old-growth timber, while nearly 400,000 acres is busy growing new ,crops of timber.

"We see today over lo/o of the commercial redwood land in Tree Farms, dedicated to growing endless timber crops,,' he said. "And the tree farm program has just begun here.

We see selective cutting, closer utilization in woods and mills, redwood by-products, a new pulp and board industry-all good signs for the future of this great payroll industry. Yet we must do still .more to grow more trees. In the future the good redwood manager must be looked to to get every acre producing a peak capacity. He must also try to maintain quality. A steady flow of high grade redwood sawtimber is necessary to fulfill demands made upon it for durability and the many special uses to which it is put."

Wallen said that through programs such as tree farmirrg and ,closer utilization of tree and log, "we can see concrete evidence that the challenge is being met."

Wood Technologist Ioins StaII Timber Engineering Compcny

Washington-Gerard P. Urling, wood technologist, of Gainesville, Florida, has joined the research staff of the Timber Engineering Companv. it was announced by Carl A. Rishell, director of research.

Urling attended the School of Forestry at the University of Florida, and received both his B.S. and M.S. degrees. He specialized in wood anatomy and wood utilization.

Urling's first d.uties with the Timber Engineering Company will be on a problem of preserving lumber in storage for the U. S. Corps of Engineers and in the development of the gluing and steam bending of treated lumber for the U. S. Navy. He will also help in the quality control testing on the Navy's extensive minesweeper building program.

Plywood Leader Sayt Ample Timber Resources lor Expanded Production

Portland. Ore.. Nov. 30-An authoritative forecast that west coast forest resources are ample to support a healthy plywood industry throughout the foreseeable future rn''as presented here today before some 600 persons at the annual conference of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association.

The prediction was made by Dr. O. Harry Schrader, Jr., of Tacoma, Wash., managing director of Douglas Fir Ply'wood Association, the trade promotion organization for thc 7l-factory plywood industry of Oregon, Washington and California.

Schrader, a former associate professor of forest products at the University of Washington, dreu'' his analysis of raw material for plyrvood from statc and federal forest agencies and other timber data sources. These include a plyn'oor1 industry survey which he described as "probably the first. careful assessment of timber on'nership on the part of plylvood operators" ever made.

The plywood leader cited compiled data to support his views, saying that the west coast plywood industry could expect a probable 1.5 billion board feet of high cluality "peeler"logs from an estimated annual timber cut of more than 10 billion board feet in the three-state area. This, he said, is sufficient to maintain panel production for the nexl ten years at an annual rate of at least 3 billion square feet, r'vell above the current record ol 2.7 billion square feet. While emphasizing that volume plyrvood production is going to continue indefinitely, he was less specific beyoncl the next decade, pointing out that there are many current developments which rvill extend rar, material supply and play an increasingly important role in the long-term picture.

Increased Timber Utilization

These, he said, include grorving integration of forest industries operations, continuing progress torvard sustained yield forestry, new products and nerv production tecirniques making more efficient utilization of rarv materials, increased utilization of leftovers, use of rvestern tree species other than Douglas fir and increased timber imports.

"ft is significant," Schrader pointed out, "that during the past year 50 rvood chippers have been installed in plyrvood plar-rts to produce chips as rarv material for pulp mills. These machines can produce 1,000 tons of pulp per day

from lvhat lvas formerly a left-over wood used only as fuel or burned."

Typical of how new products can extend raw materials is the industry's new combination panel called Plyron in rvhich a hardboard surface can be bonded to a lower grade plywood backbone to produce a panel suitable for cabinets, table tops and concrete forms. Such a development, said Schrader, "permits usage of lo'il'er grade peeler and saw logs and may havb a signific;int effect upon log requirements of the future."

Timber Supplies

The plywood leader said his surveiy shorvs an estimated 37 per cent of industry logs consumed in plywood plants are currently being 'ivithdrawn from company-owned lands, another 18 per cent of logs used by plyrn'ood plants come from purchase of government and private timber holdings. The remaining 45 per cent is pur'chased on the open log market which is supplied from both public and private lands; here plywood firms historically have obtained top grade logs by paying top prices possible because plywood returns a high ratio of recovery and plyrvood is valuable in terms of its usefulness in building and industry.

Schrader recognized that historically plyrvood manufacturers have been considered a "have not industry" insofar as timber ou'nership is concerned. However, he revealed that in the past 1O years therer has been a strong surge for timber acquisition betrveen panel makers and now these manufacturers in the aggregate on n about 25 billion feet r,rf standing timber. The panel makers, both new operators and old, continne to cxpand their ralv material resources daily, according to the spokesman.

In tabulating timber resources, Schrader pointed out that in Oregon, Washington and California, there are today 246 billion board feet of harvestable old-grorvth Douglas fir timber. Of this. 70 billion feet is considered of qualitv suitable for plyrvood manufacture.

"At production of 3 billion {eet of ply*'ood a year, and assuming the plyrvood industry obtains all peeler logs harr.estecl each year," Schrader said, "a purely statistical analysis u,ould indicate a life expectancy of the plyr,vood industry of 40 years." Although Schrader recognized there is competition among segments of the forest industries for available peeler logs, he pointed out that improvement in manufacturing techniques simultaneously tends to expand

overall supply by making practicable the use of smaller and lower grade logs. Thus, he emphasized that greater utilization of raw material and development of new products will assure production indefinitely.

has been strong and growing for more than a decade.

Undoubtedly, the new techniques in glueing and the perfection of the TECO ring connector have been major factors in establishing wood on a sound footing in construction and engineering circles. Research by our own industries has opened up new markets.

Structural timber is available in limitless quantities here in the Douglas fir region. We are growing millions of feet every year. Our mills can increase their output of this type of construction and industrial lumber almost overnight. Our own technical staff is constantly at work developing new markets and new uses for these structural grades.

It is reassuring that the country can always depend on the Iumber industry in any emergency. We welcorne these oppor. tunities to serve and we welcome the opportunity to further prove the great versatility of wood.
