Portland, Oregon, Dec. l7-Last year's all-time high lumber production records by Douglas fir sawmills u'ill not be topped this year, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary West Coast Lumbermen's Association.
At the end of eleven months of cutting, fir mills were sixty-five million feet short of equaling 1951 l1-month output, said Smith. He pointed out, however, that the industry .was maintaining a satisfactory volume of production and that lumber from this region is making a major contribution to the growth and expansion of the national economy.
Mills of the Douglas fir region have had a slightly larger order file than last year, but have shipped a fraction less lumber, Smith said. More than one third of the nation's softwood lumber comes from western Oregon and Washington:
The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production in November was 2O2,2|O,O@ b.f. or lO8.O% of. the 19471951 average. Orders averaged l92,Ol6,m b.f.; shipments

Consumers can expect greater t'alue and better service for their dollars spent on lumber in the vear ahead. These better buys u'ill ,come about as the result of more elficient production methods, greater rrtilization of u-aste materials, irnprovecl cutting practices and better merchandising programs,
Consumers also can anticipate ample supplies of lumber Ior all civilian and defense re<luirements next vear. Reforestation programs and the present rate of tree grou'th promise to provide an adequate supplv of tirr.rber for the nation's present and foreseeable needs.
Indications are that overall demand for lumber n'ill be relatively firm in 1953. The g'o\-ernment. builders, industrial users and the general public are expectcrl to ltrrv about the same amotlnt of lunrlter that thet' prrrchased in the last 12 months.
Lumber consumption during 1952 totaled arr estimated 38.9 billion board feet-one per cent above 19.i1. Ii all this lvood had been diverted into home construction. altproximately 4,862,5m average-size franre houses could have been built.
The outlook is for 1953 prodrrction approximatelv equal to this year's output, estimated at 36.7 l>illon boarrl feet.
Lumber companies u'ill find tl-reir operating c,rsts up slightly next 1'ear because of u'age increases and price boosts rvhich the government allou'ed this Fall for metal products such as sau's, trucks and heavv ecluipmcnt. Hou'errer, improved production mcthods and adlances in l-ood techr.rologv u'ill cnable the industr-v to absorb thcse higher costs.
(Continrred from Page 2)
For the 1'ear-to-date, shipments r-if reporting identical mills u'ere 3.6 per cent abor-e production; orclers n'erc 1.6 per cent above production.
Comparecl to the average corresponding u'eek in 19351939, production of reporting mills u'as 61.5 per cent above; shipments rvere 64.9 per cent above ; neu' orders u'ere 38.7 per cent above. Compared to the corresponding s'eek in 1951, production of reporting mills u'as l.ll per cent belol' shipments n'ere 4.2 per cent abor-e ; and neu' orclcrs s'ere 3.4 per cent above. * * :i
The \\Iestern Pir.re Assriciation for the t-eek encled December 13, 96 mills reporting. gar-e orders as 57.783.000 feet, shipments 51,684,000 feet. and production 57.5'18.000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the u'eek totaled 152.317,000feet. * * *
The Southern Pine Association for the u-eek ended Decemlrer 6, 107 units (132 mills) reporting. gar-e orders as 15,242,UJ} feet. shipments 18.573,000 feet, and productiorr 19,728,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the u'eek totaled 55.476,000 feet.
National defense devekrpments and the pace of neu' construction n'ill har-e the greatest influence on lunrber dernand in the 1'ear ahead.
Lumber derland is certain to be bolstered during the c()nstnlcti()lt seas()n ltv the prospect of increased building actir-itv in most fields. The governnrent's prediction that slightlv more than one million homes s'ill be started next -vear is anclther healthv sign.
The impending relaxation of controls on commercial and amusenlent building should increase the markets for u'ood in this t-r-pe of constnlcti()n. -\nother factor likelv to boost u'ood consunrption in this 6eld is the trend more one-stort' buildings using engineered s'ood fabricated and laminated trusscs. This trend has been particularl-v marked in the construction of arnusement facilities. churches. shopping centers and public schools.
The denrand for lurnber in the defense pr()gram also is expected to hold rrp u'ell next lear and probablv u'ill improve. This prosllect is linkerl to indications of an increase in militar_v expen<litures for net' construction.
-\ sustaining influence on ltrmber demand s'ill be the l)r()gress made in encouraging the alternate use of lumber and u'ood products for steel and other materials. Equalllimportant is the development of nes- s'ood products and techniques u'hich u'ill help strengthen lunrber's position as the nation's nlost versatile building material.
Lumlrernren have reason t<-r r-ieu' the vear ahead u'ith at least a cauti()us optirnism. ^\nd the public can depend on lunrbcr to con1it.r,," its outstan<ling job of helping to build a strong. progressive nation.
The \\-est Coast Lunrbernren's -\ssociation for the rveek ended I)ecember (r.201 nrills rel)orting. gave orders as lll.329.CX)0 feet. shipnrents I13,{)l+.000 feet. and production 125,998.000 feet. Unlilled orders at the end oi the u'eek totaled -152.090.000 feet.

We erijoy doing business with particular lumbermen.
lf we can't find lt we'll make it.
rt is custom ary attti" l""lorr*of th. year, to look backward, or forward, or both, and either review the events of the past year, or predict those of the twelve months lying just ahead-or both. * *
How would it be to take a new road for this particular occasion, and do neither of the things mentioned, but rather to ta-lk over and review people, events, or things that have exasperated us most in the last twelve months? Would that be good manners, do you think?
What things or events or folks hdve caused us to stew the most, fuss the most, or cuss the niost, thus helping to spoil our otherwise calm and placid dispositions and tempers? Come to think of it, the past year certainly offers a profusion of such subjects from which to choose. Bloodboiling subjects overfow lna*Ooa*
But perhaps we had better think twice before we start throwing verbal rocks at t}ose things that have transpired which inevitably send our blood pressure rushing toward the skies, thus endangering health and happiness and arterial security; especially on New Yeay's. Perhaps it would be wiser to simply discuss those more moderate pests which in such profusion have roused our resentments during the PastYear' * * *
It really isn't safe for writers with elderly arteries to throw themselves. around on a lot of the subjects that abound these days in this mad world; subjects that bring a writer to the hydrophobia level with very little effort. To talk about Vishinsky, or Korea, or the Fair Dea-I, or the Missouri Gang, or our American Communists, or the confusion and corruption of recent years in Washingtonthese and a whole slough of other pertinent subjects can hardly be discussed calmly, or with such language as properly belongs in this Famous *Fireside Journal.
It is meet and just-and we DO spell this sort of meet with two e's instead of ea-that we permit wisdom to be the better part of valor and let dl such subjects alone and untouched on this occasion, and deal rather with the smaller harassments of life in these here United States. There are plenty of those. ***
Perhaps not even our closest friend could guess in twenty tries what we consider to be our pet peeve-the particular thing that has harassed us mostiuring the past year.
So we shall at this time tte sad tale unfold. It is SINGING COMMERCIALS. Yep, that's what we said; singins commercials. (Understand we are talking of the venial sins, the secondary laralmelts, not the big stinkers.)
ft seems to us that of all tbe pests and aggravations that a just and generally kindly providence has sirffercd to be imposed on a tolerant and long-sufrering pcople during the year 1952, this continudly growing tidc of unspcakable and insufferabl'e caterwauls that burst forth on frcquent occasions, from unknown angles and without benefit of clergy, wins all the condemnation prizes. Hellz-bellz ! Aren't most of them awful, unforgivable?
Let us state that so far we arc still radio folks, ourselves, and in spite of the singing commercials. But how much longer we can continue to permit our eardruns to be lacerated and our love of music assaulttd by ttese nameless and shocking travesties on music and publicity, is bard to say. Certain it is that our patience is being stretched to the utmost, while our tempers, once temlrcrate, rapidly ap proach the explosiot noTa. * *
We have been forced to change our phpical arrangements, and to sit always close enough to the radio to pernft our arm to fly forth "like an adder darting from its coil" (as Sir Walter Scott said) when the torhrre starts, and our thumb and forefinger have becn trained to catch and twist the ra-dio knob in the direction markcd "off" with remarkable rapidity. SeU-defense has taught us dexterity. Self-preservation, the 6rst law of nature, has helped us to protectourselves. _*
But such methods are like trcating a great pain with morphine. We can stop the pa'in if we turn off tlc knob of the radio as the so-called music starts. But wbat we need is something to get to tte root of thc cvil; to stop these commercial screechings and howlings at the sourccAs a great Roman once said: "\lf'e pausc for a reply." How shall we protect ourselves against singing commercials, other than by rapidly turning them ofr? That's what we need a lot more than we l."l "*t* five cent cigar-
We said previously that we are still radio folks. Which means that we are not members of the countlcss Tnilliql3 who have climbed on the television train. Therefore'wc think the radio people should give special car to our squawk against these singing commercials, because thlre are not so many of us radio fans left. Danny Thomas, outstanding nightclub and movie entertaincr, is quoted as saying

, We are dropping this lighter--even though entirely serious-vein for a closing paragraph or two. There is a phase of our national situation today that fails utterly to penetrate our thick skulls. That is this business of asking a witness whether or not he is a Communist, and having him take refuge in his constitutional protection by saying he will not ansrter for fear of incriminating himself. How long is it going to take us to determine and declare and make sure by process of law that any person in this country who is not only willing but anxious to rise at any time, and in any place in the sight of God or man, and declart and swear that he is a loyal American and opposed to every damnable ism that. has reared its ugly head in this nation, -

- A Christmas greeting of such merit as to justify reproduction and thoughtful reading, is the one written by Mr. , J. M. White, president of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, and printed in the December numbei of "The Log of LongBell." Addressed to the personnel of the entire organization, the text is as follows:
"In the avenue of our affections there are certain loyal
natures that continue faittrfirl through all time. This
, is strongly reflected in the spirit of good will, and the happiness of it, during the Christmas holiday season. The uppermost thought of all must be the Power that rules over us: to give us understanding to accept that which cannot be changed; to give us the power and courage to change that which should be changed; and above all, to give us the wisdom to know which is which. Faith in thought and ' resultant conduct, is one of the outstanding forces by which .. rightful nations and men live, the total absence of which
means collapse. We must always carry the great responsibility to maintain through the avenues of life that which
brings to all a free mind, heart and soul. There are forces
in the world which seek to destroy such way of life, but through eternal vigilance those forces shall not pass through ' our gate. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Most Happy New Year, J. M. White, President."
Want a prediction-a political predictiorefor 1953? Hcre goes. Before the year ends Senator Joe McCarthy, of llfisconsin, will be tte most completely justified man in thc whole country. Watch and see. The other day when the news cade over the air and through the press that two of the men highest on'the Senator's list of reds, pinks, or dangerous characters had been furally uncovercd, we knew how McCarthy must have laughed. They were two of the men he has constantly and bitterly attacked as disloyal, and whom all the no.goods in the country had defendcd while unmercifully slandering McCarthy for his effort* This will be just the start. Soon we will see othcrs by thc dozen who have been uncovered by McCartby and dcfendcd by every pink blabbermouth unhung, coming to the bar of justicc. Soon the mealy-mouths will quit saying that they , approve of McCarthy but not of his mcthodq wilf be singing a different song. The Senator was in fact the strongest man on the whole Eisenhower team during the rcccnt Prcsidential campaign, and he should be recognized as such. He killed skunks with clubs rather than perfume squirters, and the skunk-lovers did their best to dcstroy hinr. 11 is only right and iust that he should get tte recognition and thc acclarnation he deserves for his fight against subvcnivcs. You'll see a lot of the cold-footcd boys singtng hil praiscs soon. The justification of the brave Irishman from Wisconsin has just started.
The Western Forest Products Conference makes an annual award to the plyrvood plant in the eleven Western states which has the best employee accident record. It has been awarded for 1952 to the plywood plant of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, at Weed, California. The figures show that the employes of this plant suffered just 7.4 accidents for each one million hours worked. Weed won the award in 1949, again in 1950, just missed winning it in 1951, and now wins it again. The award is in the form of a plaque whch will remain in possession of Weed until next year. A banquet held in St. Michaels Hall, at Weed, celebrated the announcement of the rvinning of the award.

Atlanta, Ga., November ?6.-Formal announcement of thc Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association' program ol Certificates of Inspection for Glue Bond Quality was a highlight of the association's Fall Meeting held on November 10 and 11 at the King and Prince Hotel, St. Simons Island, Georgia. These certificates of Inspection are a planned outgrowth of the qualiiy control program of the Southern panel makers which has been in effect over four years.
Beginning January 1, 1953, the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association will issue Certificates of Inspection for Glue Bond Quality to those hardwood plywood mills which can qualify for them and maintain the high quality standards required for their continued use. These Certificates, designed for use with invoices and bills of lading, will cover hardwood plywood manufactured in accordance with the Inspection and Testing Standards of the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association and the specifications as established by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Hardwood Plywood Commercial Standard CS35-49. Specific information concerning these standards and specifications is available from the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association, 65 Peachtree Place, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia.
The program for the one and one-half day meeting provided for an interesting variety of subjects all of which were pertinent to the interests of those assembled.
Dr. James S. Bethel, Professor of Wood Technology and Director of the Forest Products Laboratory, School of Forestry, North Carolina State College, Raleigh, North Carolina, gave an entertaining and informative review of his experiences with the plywood industry of Yugoslavia during the past summer. Dr. Bethel served as a plywood expert through the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations.
In an outline of School of Forestry activities of interest to hardwood plywood manufacturers, Dr. Bethel mentioned a Short Course in Statistical Quality Control and a Short Course in Kiln Drying, both of which are scheduled during the spring of 1953. Dr. Bethel also informed the panel makers of the contiriuing demand in wood utilization industries for high caliber forestry school graduates and asked for their assistance in encouraging promising young men in their communities to enroll in forestry school curricula.

The new Hardwood Veneer Panel recently developed by Elmendorf Research, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, was explained by Charles M. Kreider of that firm. Mr. Kreider displayed samples of the new panels which use veneer only for the panel surfaces, the panel centers being made of wood particles and synthetic resin. In place of the many handlings of veneer as in conventional plywood manufacture, the veneer is handled only one time, and in four minutes after leaving the lathe it emerges at the end of the process as the face of the completed panel ready for sanding. Mr. Kreider pointed out that the panels can be made in any thickness from }{ inch to I inch ad are very flat and take the finest finishes. Elmendorf Research, Inc., proposes to licerse a limited number of manufacturers having veneer machinery and a hot plate press to produce these new panels.
Robert N. Ilawes, SPMA Washington counsel, presented a review of the Washington scene since the association's annud meeting last May. Particuldr attention was given to the continually increasing imports of hardwood plywood. Presently there are sixteen countries shipping 6 million square feet of hardwood plywood a month into the United States.
A summary of the continually increasing activities of the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association Inspection and Testing Department was given by John L. Butler, association inspector. Qualification testing for the announced Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association program of Certificates of Inspection for Glue Bond Quality has been of such volume as to require additional testing facilities in the association testing department.
Current business activity for the Southern plywood nratrufacturers is being maintained at a high level and a confid€nt attitude towards tlre business future rvas evident.

u'ork, Armorbord in.the r/4" thickness is highly stable under changing moisture conditions and its physical properties exceed all minimum government specifications for standard hardboard.
The new board supplements other Anacortes panel products which total 70,000,000 sq. ft. annually. These include exterior and interior Douglas fir plywood in standarrl grades and extra long-length panels marketed under the name Armorbond. Anacortes also makes two grades o! plastic surfaced plywood widely known as Armoron--one for concrete forms and the other for building or re-manufacture where high paintability is required.
Anacortes is the first plyrvood plaht in the coLntry to get into commercial production of hardboard :ilthough several other plywood'minufacturers have pilot operations underway.
Volume production of a netv high strength irardboard panel with extreme flexibility and a wide range of uses in the building field has been announced by Anacortes Veneer, fnc., one of the largest worker-owned plywoud firms in the Pacific Northwest.
According to the company's announcement, laboratory tests on initial production show the pane! called Armorbord has a degree of shock resistance unparalleled in th.e board field. And it is so flexible, a strip of bcard %" thick can be bent into a tight circle about the size of a hatband without cracking the surface.
Manufactured in the firm's new $1,000,000 push-button hardboard plant at Anacortes, Wash.. the board is light tan with a hard satiny surface ideal for painting and highly resistant to wear. Already it is being used for a wide range of jobs in the industrial and building field.
According to H. W. McClary, general manager of the progressive 14-year-old firm, Armorbord is made in t/8,", 3/16", and t/4" thicknesses. It has most of the physical properties of a treated board but it is being marketed at prices competitive rvith standard hardboards through about 100 distributors already handling products of -A.nacortes Veneer and will be available to retail lumber dealeis throughout the nation.
"Volume production of hardboard," said McClarv, "fulfills a long-term objective of the company. It means that Anacortes Veneer can now offer a complete family of diversified products enabling us to supply cur customers with
a wide range of panels to meet any specific end-use in the
' building and industrial field."
I\{cClary said that the board's unusual resistance to impact makes it ideal for such punishing iobs as crating and
that its high flexibility means it will be ideal rvherever
' curved surfaces are required-from display fixtures to con-
crete forms.
Also suitable for established applications in the building
field, like underlayment for foors, wall paneling and cabinet
The move climaxes a forwardlooking three-year expansion program solidly backed by the firm's 7O owner-worlc: ers who have consistently supported industry research aimed at development of new products making nraximum utilization of raw material.
Manufattured under the unique new semi{ry process perfected and patented by the industry-backed Plyrvood Research Foundation, the new hardboard is made solely from solid old growth Douglas fir which accumulates in various forms in the plywood plant. This material includes log centers which remain after the logs have been "peeled" and solid veneer trimmings which cannot be used -for plywood.
These are chipped ihto small pieces of wood at'out the size of a man's thumbnail (they average !(" square). Then, after softening by steam, they are rrrechanically ground into tiny wood fiber bundles with brushed-out ends.
After blending with a small amount of resins and other additives, the fibers appear on a moving belt in the form of a deep, spongy blanket which is subsequently hot-pre.ssed into the final product.
Because of the non{irectional pattern of the fibers in the blanket or "felt" prior to pressing, they are bent over in the press forming tens of thousands of microscopic interlocking trusses. These in turn give the board its high elasticity and its unusually high impact resistance-
The entire process is automatic to this point. The only hand labor involved is that of feeding and unloading from trim saws and careful, systematic grading.
The automatic features of the semidry process cut production costs to the bone. And they permit precision quality control at every point in the production line. assuring uniformity of physical properties in every sheet.

sition Blvd. In 1917, when the L. W. Blinn Lumber Co. was organized, he moved to their office and yard at Sixth and Central and later to 25th and Alameda Streets. He appeared before his draft board on November ll, 1918, only to learn that the war tyas over.
In 1932 Judge went to work for Kenneth Smith as his assistant at the Lumber and Allied Products Institute and continued there until that organization was disbanded. By that time another war was on and Judge went out to Douglas Aircraft Co. at Santa Monica and took a job as auditor. This was his only departure from the retail lumber business and even there he must have checked a few lumber bills just to keep in condition.
After 60 years in the retail lumber business, Judge Shiloh Durham, one of the deans of the Southern California lumber fraternity, announces his retirement on January 2, 1953.
Judge was born back in Table Grove, Illinois, where his father operated a lumber yard. While he swam in and skated on the nearby Spoon River in his boyhood he never strayed far from the sight of. a 2x4. When he was about 13years-old his father started the Shiloh W. Durham Lumber Co. at Bushnell, Illinois, and it was then that Judge started on his lumber career, picking up stickers and caring for the lumber wagon horses. He worked after school and during vacations while attending the local schools. Later, rvhen :r student at Drake University, he spent his summer vacations in the lumber yard. He graduated from Drake in 1901. Later he attended Springfield (Ill.) Business College.
Judge's name is really Judge. He rvas named for an uncle then living in San Jose, California. Along about 1908 he too, came to California and took a job running L. W. Blinn's Los Angeles yard and mill at Figueroa and Expo-
Robert (Bob) K. Hood is succeedinC C. C. Stibich as manager of the San Francisco office of Tarter, Webster and Johnson, Inc., subsidiary of the American Forest Products Company. He will cover local business and the eastern seaboard. Bob has been with the company for about trvo years as city salesman. Prior to that he was connected with the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company at Anderson in a sales capacity.
I\{ichael Coonan was moved from Stockton sales to cover the bay area, taking Bob Hood's place. Palmer (Barney) Forsell will continue to specialize in the handling of mouldding, doors, windows as well as lumber, working from the San Francisco office.
Tarter, Webster and Johnson, Inc. handles the sales for about ten processors and producers of lumber, mostly pine, which are either owned or partly so by the American Forest Products Company. The sales manager of the company,is Harold J. Ford, located at the main office in Stockton.
After about two years with Douglas the call of studs and sheathing got too strong for Judge and on February 15,194:2 he went to rvork for Hammond Lumber Company at their main office at 20th and Alameda Streets. Here he took over the strenuous task of expediting lumber and building materials for the company's 19 retail lumber yards throughout Southern California. For over 10 years no Hammond customer has suffered for want of materials, barring circumstances beyond Judge's control. Judge accomplishes the difficult immediately, but he says that in recent years the impossible has taken him a little longer. One of the most experienced retailers in the area, Judge says that the thorough training given him by his father in his youth has proven the sound base of his lumber knowledge-

Clay Brorvn & Company is at present engaged in enlarging and improving its sawmill plant at Fortuna, California.
At the present time the plant consists of two units, a Swedish Gang sawmill, and a single circular. They are taking out the circular mill and replacing it with a hand headrig with considerable more capacity. Also, the band will operate more economically than the circular, and make better lumber, especially from big logs. Whbn the installation' is completed the band headrig will operate one shift a day and the Srvedish Gang two shifts, giving the plant a total daily capacity of close to 200,(X)O feet of lumber.

An automatic stacking unit of the Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia went up in flames last month with a loss of better than $100,000.00. Fortunately the fire took place at night and there was no wind. The stacking unit occupied a space of about two hundred feet between the kilns and dry sorters on one side and the mill on the other. At the other end was the factory. A wind of any velocity would have carried the fire to the other buildings and the loss could have run into the millions. The loss of (he stacking unit has not delayed production. Stacking will be done by hand until another one is built.

It may be a bit bold-of this I am quite aware-but the claim is here advanced that the oldest living things not only in California but on the face of the earth, are the arveinspiring Clrlifornia big trees. The Sequoia gigantea of the Sierras must not be confused with the graceful redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) of the Coast Range.
Just how old is the oldest living Sequoia? Nobody knows precisely. There have been innumerable guesses and many careful estimates by experts. In 1898 David Starr Jordan stated: "ft is safe to say that many of them have stood on the earth for at least 8,000 years." He would probably revise his fiClt downward today.
John Muir once spent a day in clearing away the burnt surface of "a majestic old fire-scarred monument," and with the aid of his pocket lense "counted a little over 4,000 rings, showing that this tree was in its prime about 27 feet in diameter at the beginning of the Christian era." Muir wrote: "No description can give anything like an adequate idea of their singular majesty, much less their beauty."
More recently, James Clifford Shirley, ranger-naturalist of Yosemite National Park, has declared: "The Sierra redwoods, (Sequoia gigantea) as a class are no doubt the oldest living things in existence." Prof. Willis Jepson determined (within limits of slight error) the age of one tree to be 3226 years, and Frederic Douglas, after making a boring into the General Sherman tree, considers it to be more than 3,50O years old.
Appointment of W. H. Young as general sales manager of the Building Materials Division of Pabco Products Inc. was announced by President W. L. Keady. Young will succeed Russell R. Galloway, who has been named general sales manager of Pa.bco's Floor. Covering Division.
The General Sherman and the President of Sequoia National Park, and the Grizzly Giant of Yosemite National Park are perhaps the oldest of all trees. Which one is actually the oldest? Who knows?
What about the claims made for the Bennett Juniper, a truly wonderful tree of Tuolumne County? This Juniperus occidentalis has been called "the oldest living thing on the earth," "twice the age of the oldest Sequoias, or 6,C)()0 years old." Such claims, however, have not met with general acceptance.
Waldo S. Glock, a well known authority on tree rings, employed three methods in studying the age of the Bennett Juniper, and concluded that "it may well be that the age is distinctly more than 3,000 years, but until the entire stump is visible the exact age will not be known."
Great age has been claimed for the Jpshua Tree (Yucca breviofolia). But only in the unrestrained imagination of the untrained traveler can the age of this rema.rkable "lily" be placed in the thousands of years.
The giant Cypress of Tule, in Southern Mexico, has also been called "the oldest and largest tree in the world," its age placed by some at about 6,000 years. This is indeed a picturesque, marvelous tree, standing quite alone in its spreading splendor.
But Dr. Jepson combats the expressed opinion as to its age and concludes: "Liberals among scientists think it rray be 2,000 or 2,5ffi years old. Honors for antiquity among trees therefore seem to remain with the Sequoias."

In order to obtain an adequate supply of ship decking to meet its requirements, the U.S. Navy has authorized the purchase of ship decking which deviates from the grade specifications of the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and fnspection, Grading Rules No. 14. The new Navy specification, therefore, requires the establishment of ' a ceiling price different from the ceiling prices for ship decking graded in exact accordance with West Coast Rules. The new specification permits a combination of defects found only by combining parts of West Coast Rules, paragraph 310 and 3ll.

Retail lumber and building materials dealers had a considerably better year in 1952 than was generally predicted. Most dealer's sales were somewhat higher than or just as good as in 1951, although some declines were reported. Net profits were somewhat lower on the average, but still were fairly satisfactory on the whole.
The widely predicted shortages of metals failed to materialize except in isolated cases. Builders did an excellent job of stretching to the limit the available supplies of steel, copper, and aluminum and, of utilizing lumber and other materials in their place.
It became apparent, as 1952 progressed, that inventories in the hands of manufacturers, wholesalers, retail dealers, and builders at the time CMP started were considerably.greater than anyone had believed
Construction controls held down the volume of commercial and recreational building, and housing starts were cut back some 20 per cent instead of the 30 per cent or more that had been predicted, but farm co4struction and repair and modernization work showed an increase.
Wage and price controls harrassed the industry, and the latter caused dealers a good deal of unnecessary clerical expense and worry, but the industry carried on fairly smoothly in spite of those nuisances.
It looks as though 1953 will be another good year for light construction.. Housing starts may well approximate 1952 in number. An increasid amount of commercial building is anticipated as controls are removed or further relaxed on the construction of new stores, office buildings, and other business structures.
Except for the tighter limitation on public housing, continuation of the Defense Production Act, and partial removat of rent controls, there was relatively little legislative activity affecting construction in 1952. It is too early to say what Congress will do in 1953, although they will be urged to completely eliminate all types of economic controls.
The planners in Washington,'who are reluctant to give up any form of control over industry, have been making frantic efforts to sell Congress and the public on maintaining a system of standby controls after defense production passes its peak. Until the make-up of the new Congres.s can be analyzed, it is impossible to tell whether they will have their way.
In spite of the growing feeling that it is entirely inconsistent for the construction industry to call for less government interferences with business on the one hand, and to voice continued requests for preferential housing legislation on the 6ther, it seems safe to predict that, if the housing market should start to slip badly, the federal government will act to ease housing credit terms still further.
There will, however, be a determined effort to bring the public housing program to an end, in one way or another. There is good reason to believe that subsidized housing has fewef active supporters than at any time in the last 15 years.
Congress probably will be under pressure to compel FHA and VA to adopt a more realistic policy on interest rates, unless mortgage lenders show a-gre"jter ihterest in making housing loans at existing rates. - There. is no shortage of mortgage money, but many lending instiiutions have found other avenues of investment more attractive. To their credit, it can be that they have, for the most part, followed a policy of allocating a certain minimum frcentage of their available funds to low interest housing loans.. To do otherwise would be to invite direct government lending.
. Congress is not likely to take any action on the proposal to requir,e builders to give home buyers a written warranty. In view of the extreme difficulty: of defining responsibility for alleged defects in homes, it is hard to see how any compulsory guarantee could result in anything but still more confusion and ill-fqeling.
One of the major trends in the retail lumber and building materials industry this.year has been a greatly increased interest in better merchandising and management, a developmen! for which the industry's trade publications deserve a good' deal of credit.
The 30-day courses for dealer gmiiloyepq being conducted against this schoof year by 12 colleges and universities, have awakened a good many dealers to the fact that any dealer can profit by sharing his experience and trading in{ormation with other dealers. ": r.
There' is widespread interest in such subjects as firnnciat management, sales training, pricing methods, ind personnel manasement.

Several of the state and regional dealer associations have conducted management workshops which, without exception, have made excellent impressions and awakened an appetite for more. Various patterns have been tried, involving either lectures or discussion groLlps or both, and it is hoped that some feasible method that can be utilized on a broad scale will be evolved.
There also has been a growing interest in the development of programs which will guide dealers in training their own personnel in their own yards and give individual dealer employees a workable plan for studying their jobs and the products they sell on their own time.
The gradual development by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association of the Building Product Dealer Data Book, a written sales book which contains basic product information, and the Dealer Operating Guide, which when completed will cover every major phase of management and merchandising, gives the industry for the first time a readily available source of tailor-made text material for any type of educational or training program, whether in organized classes or groups, in the yard, or ad home.
Even with a minimum of organized educational activity, it is obvious that the nation's retail lumber and building materials dealers have been registering steady advancement in their merchandising and management methods and that the industry has been providing the public with an ever-improving standard of service. The fact that an industry which has been enjoying a prolonged period of good business is so intent on self-improvement is a very wholesome and encouraging sign.
At the November meeting of the Board of Directors NRLDA adopted a l0-point program which is recommended to the industry and to the new administration:
Permit the Defense Production Act to terminate as provided for by the 82nd Congress, thus terminating priorities and allocation authority, price and wage stabilization, real estate credit control authority, and all other defense production powers.
Urge the examination and overhauling of regulations of federal agencies affecting business, and particularly recommend to the Congress that no "standby" control authority be given to any agency of government, unless that authority provides specifically for future Congressional approval of the use of the control authority in any field of business activfty.
Eliminate all unnecessary defense and non-defense expenditures in order to reduce the tax burden.
Encourage the further study of the entire tax structure and seek to distribute the burden of taxation equitably upon all branches of business and industry.

Dolly Varden Lumber Company, Arcata, California-Sam Davis, manager-are now operating their new 70,O0'capacity double track Moore Cross-Circulation kiln.
This new kiln, which is 34 feet wide by 66 feet long, is of the double-ended type so that the solid piled loads of lumber are charged at one end and removed from the opposite end u'hen dry. The building itself is of economical wood construction with roof supported by special steel trusses. Large 7V' diameter fans are mounted in the roof and are driven by a 4O H.P. motor locateC in the overhead control room, shown in the picture.
An interesting feature of the installation is the fact that a gas fired automatic type boiler is used to heat the kiln which is equipped with Moore fin pipe and also recorder controller which automatically records and controls the drying conditions in the kiln.
Dolly Varden Lumber Co. have a mdern sawmill and planing mill and with their new Moore Cross-Circulation kiln they are in position to ship promptly properly dried Redwood and Douglas fir lumber.
Jack Mackey is sales m:rnager at Dolly Varden Lumber Co. and Les Johnson is in charge of kiln drying.

One cannot understand a man merely by what is known of him in business. It takes a knowledge of his hobbies and other interests to get his m€asure. The trade may know Bill Chatham as the president of Loop Lumber Company and I-oop Lumber & Mill Company, one of the very suecessful retail, wholesale and sawmill operators in the northern end of the state. In his office are some attractive works of art. One is a beautiful wood carving of a man in clerical robes, long and slender and fitting against the wall, done in a very modern style, entirely pleasing. It was carved with a jack knife. Another wood carving is in the corner, and on the wall is a fancy rifle which he made himself. Inserted in the paneling of the wall is a very good water color of the Redwoods.
Wednesdays and Sundays during the season he goes duck hunting; other times he is out looking for steel head in the northern streams of the state. From his boyhood he had a passion for hunting, and while his father thought that he was wasting too much time, yet it was responsible in a way for his later success in the lumber business. In tramping through the wilds of Mendocino County in his early hunting days, he made the acquaintance of many natives of the county, farmers and settlers. At the start of the last world war, when lumber was scarce and hard to get, he went back to some of his old friends, and was'able to line up timber land and a mill which provided his company amply through the war and continues to be a vital operation.
Mr. Chatham was born in San Francisco in 1905, attended the Polytechnic High School and then, after working awhile in the lumber business, went through Stanford in three years. In his younger days he was employed by the Union Lumber Company in Mendocino County, the Northwestern Redwood Company at Willits, and on the persuasion of his father, who was president of the I-oop Lumber and Mill Company, he came back to Alameda'and entered his father's plant. Subsequently he *o.kid as a salesman for four y""tr, figured estimates in the office and did other work to round out his expe-
Mr. Chatham has developed his company into one of the biggest of its kind in the state, with a mill capacity of better than 100,(XX) feet per day. They also have machinery for some of the largest re-saw jobs. Their equipment has a capacity for timber 34 by 34 inches and includes a planer that handles four sides up to 25 by 25 inches. Stocks run oyer two million feet of Redwood and Fir each and one million feet of timbers up to 20 by 20 inches and to 48 feet in length. Perhaps his greatest pride is his new sorter and grader machinery, most of which he designed himself. In addition to the Fir cuttings, the sorter is able to handle 45,000 feet of Redwmd a day which comes from their Fort Ross Redwood mill.
Bill Chatham received excellent traioios in the lumber btrsiness from his father, who was recognizd :ul one of tte leading retail lumber men of the state. He died lasi'year at the ripe old age of eightv-nine years. Bill Chatham was married to thc former Lorraine Watt in 1931, and they have two children, William Chatham III and.I-ee Caroline Chatham. Their home is in Alameda.

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 10.-In these days of critical power shortage in the Pacific Northwest, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company is a refreshing exception-a rnajor industrial firm that produces more electric Inwer than it consumes.
No, Weyerhaeuser isnt in the power business. In times of power shortage, however, Weyerhaeuser generators step up kilowatt production and the extra electricity is sold to local power companies and public utility districts.
Six Weyerhaeuser plants are interconnected electrically with the Northwest Power pool and are delivering approximately 1,500,(n0 kilowatt hours per week to the pool duri-ng the current shortage, while withdrawing less than 500,0m. This is a rlet gain to the pool of more than a million kilowatt hours a week.
In case you are wondering, a kilowatt hour (KWH) is enough electricity to light a l(XFwatt bulb fof ten hours. The average family home consumes about l0O KWH a w€ek; the modern electrically equipped home as much as five times more. On this basis, Weyerhaeuser is producing sufficient power to operate its own mills and, in addition, supply approximately 10,000 Pacific Northwest homes with electric energf.
The production of power at Weyerhaeuser mills is one result of the firm's determination to us€ as mudr of the forest harvest as possible. In this instance, electrical eoerg1r is creatd from bark, sawdust, and other sawmill leftovers that lpight otherwise be wasted.
The six Weyerhaeuser mills interconnected with the Northwest Power pool are the Everett, Wash., pulp division and V\'eyerhaeuser lumberdivision plants at Snoqualmie, Entnnclaw, Raymond and I-ongview, in Washington, and Springfield, Oregon.
Of these, only the Everett pulp division regularly takcs energy from the pool. On an average week-befoae lx)rer curtailments were ordered by the Defense Electric Power Administration-the Weyerhaeuser pulp mill at Evere-tt was using 334,000 KWH of pool energy.
Other Weyerhaeuser branches add various amounts of energy to the pool. The Snoqualmie Falls branch contributed a net gain to the pool of 179,m KWH d*iog a reced *eek, while the White River branch at Enumclaw was adding about 176,W KWH.
The firm's Willapa Harbor branch at Raymond furnishes the pool 50,000 KWH in an average week, the Longview branch generates 737,ffi KWH more than it consumes 1rr week and the Springfield branch provides the pool with 259,m KWH in a one-week period.
Although outside the Northwest Power pool area, Weyerhaeuser branches at Klarnath Falls and Coos Bay-North Bend, Oregon-are delivering substantid amounts of electricity to local power companies during the curri:nt shortage. The Klamath Falls branch furnished California-Oregon Power Company 143,000 KWH last week for example, while the Coos Bay branch at North.Beqd_y"a" supplying 670,000 KWH to Mountain States Power Company.

for economy reasons. Another advantage will be that virtually all the wood involved in this construction can be used again.
The choice of wood indicates that while the incoming Reputs lican Administration is thinking of economy in government, the Inaugural Committee is saving dollars in arranging the inauguration ceremonies.
Wood being used in the inaugural construction includes Ponderosa pine, whi'te fir, hemlock, Southern pine and Douglas fir.
The nation's lumbermen believe this will permit the new president to begin his term in office on a strong, sound platform.
The next meeting of the Southern California Lumber Seasoning Association will be held on Friday, January 9. The group will meet at the Associated Molding Co.,7125 Anaheim-Telegraph Road, Los Angeles, at 1l:30 a.m. for an inspection of their plant.

The joint meeting of the Society of American Foresters and the Canadian Institute of Forestry, held in the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, November 17-20, brought together more than 800 foresters, their ladies, and guests, representing 42 states, six Canadian provinces, and two European nations. It was the largest international conference of professional foresters ever held in North America.
Having as its theme "Trends in North American Forestry," the four-day conference included two general sessions, seven technical sessions, and business meetings of the two professional societies. More than one hundred foresters from the two nations were on the program.
K. G. Fensom of Vancouver, 8.C., president of the C.I.F., officially opened the meeting with an address of welcome. It was followed by a response by George L. Drake of Shelton, Wash., president of the S.A.F. Additional addresses at the opening session were given by Avila Bedard, deputy minister of lands and forests, Province of Quebec, and dean of forestry , at I-aval University; and A. W. Bentley, consulting forester from Victoria, B.C.
At the joint C.I.F.-S.A.F. luncheon, held on November 18, the address was given by Hon. Robert H. Winters, minister of the Canadian Department of Resources and Development, Ottawa. At the joint C.I.F.-S.A.F. dinner on November.19, Dr. A. W. Trueman, president of the University of New Brunswick, gave the principal address, "An Educator l-ooks at 'Forestry."
In behalf of the S.A.F., President George L. Drake presented two awards for distinguished service to forestry. The Gifford Pinchot medal was awarded to Raphael Zon of St. Paul, Minn., former editor of the Journal of Forestry and retired director of the I-ake States Forest Experiment Station.
The Sir William Schlich memorial medal was awarded posthumously to the late Ellwood Wilson of Knowlton, Quebec, "the father of aerial forest mapping." Mr. Wilson died in May, 1952. The medal was accepted by his son, Richard Ellwood Wilson of Saratoga, N.Y., a professional forester.
A third award, a plaque presented annually by the Canadian Forestry Association for outstanding performance in forest conservation, was made to Henri Kiefier, chief of the'Forest Protection Service of the Quebec Department of Lands and Forests.
During the conference seven technical sessions were held on the following subjects: forestry education, forest management, silviculture, forest economics and taxation, forest trtilization, public relations, and recreation, wildlife and range management. Reports of these technical sessions were presented at the final general session, following which the highlights of the meeting were summarized by George A. Garratt, dean of the Yale School of Forestry, New Haven, Conn.

Washington, D.C., Dec. 1G-R. A. McDonald, Administrator of the National Production Authority, Department ',of Commerce, today announced certain relaxations of cen,struction regulations to be effective Jan. l, 1953.
i l, 1953, represents the most significant easing of construcjtion controls by NPA since the institution of the original [construction order, M-4, on Oct. 26, 195O. At that time jcontrols were placed on the right to,commence construction I - a flof recreational, entertainment and amusement projects.
$ The relaxations will increase the amounts of steel and copffi-ililt may be self-authorized tor commercial and most I'oifr&*?y1ies' of construction. The ban on recreational, lamusemeiii and entertainment construction also rvas lifted. ' , However, because of the lost power in the Pacific North' .west and the Tennessee Valley, the relaxations on aluminum i'will nbt become efiective until May l. It has been estimated , that 40,0U),000 pounds of aluminum production have been lost each month of the power shortage.
An amendment to Direction 8 to Revised Controlled Ma- ' terials Plan Regulation 6, the basic construction order, was ' issued by NPA today providing for the future relaxations. Also issued was an amendment to the communications ord.er, M-77.
' Included in today's action is a rivision of restrictions on "all other" construction which should materially aid com'mercial building (under control since Jan. 13, 1951) and the erection of new schools, hospitals, public buildings and public roads (which have heen under control since May 3, -' 1951). Increased self-authorization facets of today's order permit the use of additional steel and copper per project, per quarter.
Also, under the newly revised order, and for the first time since. the Controlled Materials Plan came into existence, home builders will be permitted to acquire and use struc, tural steel up to 1,500 pounds per dwelling unit;and build- 'ers of apartment houses will be allowed to self-authorize . purchase orders for steel and copper.
By today's action recreational, entertainment and amusement projects are removed from the prohibited list and self-authorization for specific amount of steel and copper per project, per calendar quarter is permitted. Such con-
struction has been under stringent limitation since Oct. 1950.
, Recreational construction includes such varied types of bowling alleys.
Where NPA formerly gave no assistance to builders of ' iecreational proje'cts te secure even small amounts of materials, it now will render priority assistance to the limits of the self-iuihorization privileges under the new regulations. :,,
"The recommendations of the task group of the Con' struction Industry Advisory Committee were carefully ion,sidered by this agency," Mr. McDonald.said. "It'is'.the ,policy of NPA to maintain controls only sg l,ong. as 'i.-the='"'agfim&.$egnkgmelrts",.of the militarg 4nd defeiise-
supporting programs make it necessary to continue them. In line with this policy, the easing up of certain types of steel makes it possible to take this action.
"The materials needed will in Do way interfere with the defense effort," Mr. McDonatd said.
NPA said approximately 90 per cent of the materials affected will be purchased from warehouse stocks. Reports show that warehouses throughout the countr5r have a substantial supply of these materials and will be able to meet the increased demands made by this relaxation.
In some instances warehouses report they have inventories far in excess of customers' demands.
Beginning May l, 1953, the increased self-authorization for aluminum announced Oct. 3 will become effective, as originally scheduled. Further, removal of the restrictions on the use of aluminum for Table I (recreational, entertainment and amusement) construction will be accomplished beginning May l, when owners of such projects idll be permitted to self-authorize for and use aluminum.
Under the relaxation, the allotment symbol U6 is discontinued. Owners who are permitted to 'self-authorize purchase orders will use the following allotment numbers calling for delivery of materials after Dec. 31, 1952: U-7 for all types of residential structures; T-9 for water wells, water and servage systems and plants under the jurisdiction of the NPA Water Resources Division; U{ for all other categories of construction.
The amended Direction 8 to Revised CMP Reg. 6 provides that, beginning Jan. 1, 1953, self-authorization will be permitted up to the following amounts for steel and copper.. Increased self-authorization for aluminum does not become eftective until May 1:
1. For recreational, entertainment and amusement construction per project, per quarter, 5 tons of carbon steel (not to include more than 2 tons of structural shapes), 5(X) pounds of copper and copper base alloys, and 3(X) pounds of aluminum. Previously, no self au.thorization was permitted for this type of construction. Also foreign and used steel will be permitted for r'ecreational construction in accordance with Article VI of Reg. 6.
2. Far highways, per project: 25 tons of carbon steel (not to include more than 12 tons of structural) and the same amounts of copper and aluminum now permitted500 pounds of each. The present steel limit is 25 tons, not to include more than 2 tons of structural.
3. For one-through-four family houses, per dwelling unit: 1,500 pounds of structural steel in addition to materials now permitted. At present, 75 pounds of alirminum, N pounds of copper and 2,300 pounds of carbon steel are perrnitted for homes with steel pipe water distribution systems, and 75 pounds of aluminum, 400 pQunds of copper, and 1"950 pounds of carbon steel for homes with copper pipe water distribution systems. The present extra copper allowance for forced hot water. heSting an(l radiant heating are continued unchanged.
.'4i For mu-lti-unit residences (walk-ups), per dwellilg unit:'two toirs bi carbon steel (not to include more thln 500 pounds ot' structurll),-@ Pognds of gqnIP.!3Bd--275
pounds of aluminum. At present, no self-authorization for this type of construction is permitted.
5. For multi-unit residences (elevator type) per dwelling unit: 3 tons of carbon steel (not to include more than 600 pounds of structural),225 pounds of copper, and775 pounds of aluminum. No self-authorization for this category of construction is allowed at present.
6. All other construction, per project, per quarter: 25 ,tons of carbon and alloy steel, including structural (not *o include more than 2f tons of alloy and no stainless), 5ffi pounds of copper, and 4,000 pounds of aluminum.
In regard to "all other" construction, NPA is eliminating the distinction now existing in the regulation between "industriall' and "all other" construction and will permit the same self-certification quantities for both. "All other" construction will include industrial, commercial, public, hospital, university, school, public utility, \Mater and sewage projects and transportation facilities.
At present, all of these types of construction except industrial are allowed to self-author\ze 5 tons of carbon steel (not to include more than two tons of structural but no wide-flange beams or sections), 1,000 pounds of copper and 2,000 pounds of aluminum, per project, per quarter.
There will be no change in self-authorization for industrial construction, except that self-authorization of one ton of stainless steel per project, per quarter will be permitted for chemical plants.
NPA also said that beginning Jan. 1, the dollar limit on DO rating authority for purchase of non-controlled
building equipment and production machinery will be raised. New limits will be: recreational construction, $15,ffi on building equipment and $5,0(D on production machinery; "all other" construction, which, as noted previously, will include industrial as well as the present "all other" category; $100,00O on building equipment and $20,000 on production machinery; and no limit on building equipment for residential.
Present limits are $10O,00O on building equipment and $200,m0 on production machinery for'industrial, but only $15,000 on building equipment and $5,000 on production machinery for "all otheri' construction except recreational construction, where DO ratings are not.now permitted.
Other liberalizations will remove the prohibition-on selfauthorization for wide-flange beams and sections for all categories of construction, and will permit self-authorization of I ton of stainless steel per project, per quarter for construction of chemical Plants.
The amendment to Order M-77 provides that beginning Jan. l, 1953, the dollar limit ($25,00) is removed on controlled materials for small telephone companies' use in construction Projects.
Also, companies operating less than 15,000 instruments may self-authorize for all their maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) materials.
All communication companies, regardless of size, may self-authorize for construction per quarter, per project, within thege limits:
The Pacific Lumber Company found "Scotch" tape useful in theirroffice, according to Jim Farley, and they concluded that' the same principle adapted to lumber rvould be equally successful. This led to inquiry and a series of experiments with industrial tape, and today the company is using it in rvrapping all sidings and drop-sidings, some mouldings and industrial patterns.
The full use of industrial tape has not yet passed out of the experimen-tal stages. Further research in adhesives is

required'to produce a tape which rvill not bond rvith the rvood and yet rvill make a dependable "tie." The wrapping is norv done by hand. The ultimate goal is to do it by machine. Finished boards are not rvrapped because of the danger of lifting splinters by the now too adhesive tape. Improvements in the tape rvill ultimately solve that problem. Sidings are bundled four to six pieces per bundle, depending on the rvidths. Top and bottom of the bundle have the face turned in to protect the finished surface. Drop-sidings and other patterns are also rvrapped rvith the faces in. If there is any sticking of the tape it is only to the back, and this is never serious. Double-faced patterns present the same problem as finished boards. but are bundled to protect them from shipping damage. The tape does no more damage to these than would trvine.
The tape is an 880 filament glass fibre, one inch u'ide, with the strands all running rvith the length of the tape. It is held together and coated by a plastic. On the inside is the adhesive. This type of material eliminates stretching. Thus the bundles of lumber are ahvays tightly held together and reach their destination in better condition. The time taken for rvrapping is no saving over the time for u'rapping in ts'ine; the advantages come in the handling afterrvard. Hos'ever, this time element rvill be a factor when a machine is perfected for the purpose.
Advantage over the old system of rvrapping is evident rvhen it is noted that knots will slip and trvine rvill stretch, making a loose package with possible damage to finished lumtrer in handling or shipment. In stacking soft-rvood lumber bundled rvith twine which of necessity is knotted, the rveight of the lumber rvill press the twine into the wood and damage or deface it. Twine has the added disadvantage that it does not lend itself to ultimate mechanization as readily as does tafie.

Thousands of channels there are through which the beauty of our soul may sail even unto our thoughts. Above all there is the wonderful, central channel of love. For is it not in love that are found the purest elements of beauty ttat we can offer to the soul? Some there are who do tfius in beauty love each other. And to love thus means that, little by littl'e, the sense of ugliness is lost; that one's eyes are closed to all the littleness of life, to all but the freshness and'virginity of the very humblest of souls. Loving thus, yve can no longer have anything to conceal, for that the ever-present soul transforms all thirigs into beauty. It is to behold evil in so far only as it purifies indulgence, and teaches us no longer to confound the sinner with the sin.
Charles Darwin could never learn a language.
Napoleon was number 42 in his class-yet we do not know the name of one of the 41 who were ahead of him.
Sir Isaac Newton \ras next to the lowest in his form. He failed in his geometry because he did not do his problems in the way the book said he should.
George Eliot learned to read with very great difficulty. She gave no promise of brilliance in her youth.
James Russell Lowell was suspended from Harvard for complete indolence.
Oliver Goldsmith was the very bottom of his class.
Emerson was a hopeless dunce in mathematics.
James Watt, inventor of the steam engine, was the butt of his playmates in school.
All of which proves, probably, that you cannot distinguish genius at an early age, for most of the mathematician wizards of youth are seldom heard of in later life.
"I have known you so long, doctor," sbid the patient at the end of his visit, "f do not intend to insult you by ofrering to pay you. But I have arranged a handsome legacy for you in my will." "That's very kind," the doctor said. "And let me have that prescription, again, please. I want to make a slight alteration in it."

-WeshingtonThere are two ways of being happy. We may cithcr diminish our wants or augmcnt our mcansr..eithcr witl dr the result is for each rnan to decidc for himsclf, and do,that which happens to bc the easiest.
If you are idle or sick or p(xrr, however herd it may be to diminish your wantg it will bc hardcr to ar_rgEcnt your means. If you are active and proepcrous or young or in good health, it may be easier for you to augmcnt your Ecans than to di'nirrish your wants.
But, if you are wise you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are yery wise you will do both in such a way as to augmcnt the goeral happiness of society.-Bcnjamin Franklin.

The lumber manufacturing industry of the nation has had quite a year. The quickest way to describe it would be to say that it has sold ai1 the lumber it could make, and at high prices, and hasn't been obliged to work very hard to do it. If that doesn't spell piosperity-what does?
This was especially true of the softwoods-most all of them, and most of the tim'e. The hardwoods found some hard sledding for quite a bit of the year, especially the smaller mills in the South.
When the figures are all in for 1952 it will be found that it was one of the top years of all history, with tremendous quantities of boards, planks, and timb:rs being made and used. It has been one of the biggest production years in all the history of West Coast lumber, and the production probably sold for more money than any other year in history. In the old days when they cut huge quantities of Fir, they didn't get much for it. Today, with No. 3 bringing higher prices than clears used to bring, the cash register tells a different story.
Lest someone promptly remind us, let us recall that the cost of producing that lumber has advanced accordingly. You could buy a forest in the old days for the money you pay for an acre right now.
The South as well as the West has had a good year, heavy production sold at high prices. But here also the cost of buying timber and making lumber reached astronomicd figures.
Yet, take it all around like a hoop, as Gus Russell used to say, 1952 has been a fine money year for the sawmill industry.

The wood in a house is truly versatile. As flooring it gives beauty, warmth and resiliency underfoot. Ease of working makes it adaptable for woodwork and casings of doors and windows. Strength is given in framing; insulation in sheathing, roofboards and subfloor. In addition the siding and shingles deflect rain and wind. Foundation timbers, beams and joists unite the whole into a firm unit and tie it to the ground.
But the homeowner appreciates most that the wood in his home is easily cared for, assuming it has been properly used. Many of the oldest houses in America still in use are built of wood and have kept their usefulness because the wood was correctly used and maintained.
Finely finished floors, whether they be hardwood or softwood, usuallv get the most care because they are seen the most. A mistake made by some homeowners is to allow the finish to become damaged by wear, often through to the wood itself. The preventive is the frequent application of one of the floor waxes. Let the wax take the wear.
Should a wood floor become worn and discolored or if it is desired to change the color it is comparatively easy and inexpensive. It may be that the solid color of paint is desired. If so, it is necessary only to sand smooth the rough spots and carefully remove all wax and grease with reliable cleaners before following the new paint manufacturer's instructions.
Many fine old homes have been given a nelv lease on iife by sanding the floors down through darkened layers of varnish to expose the beautiful wood grain again. Such a resurfaced floor is the same as new and is refinished just like new laid flooring. A simple and economical finish any homeowner can apply is one or two coats of shellac followed by tu'o or three coats of good varnish, each coat preceded by a light sanding and very careful removal of all dust. Protect the finish with frequent applications of wax, ,especially in doorways.
A squeakv floor is annoying but usually can be easily fixed if the sub flooring can be reached from below. The cause is usually friction where inadequate nailing allows the floorirrg to move when walked upon. The remedy is to put a screw up from below to catch the loose board. First drill a hole through the subflooring larger than the screw. If the finish flooring is hardwood, drill a hole slightly smaller than the screw for the last fourth of the hole's depth. The screw will then pull the loose board of flcoring tight against the subfloor.
Perhaps windows and doors do not move easily. The cause is probablv one of three things: paint may have accumulated between sliding or moving surfaces, the house may have settled or perhaps moisture is getting into wood and causing it to swell. Excess layers of paint can some-
times be removed by inserting a piece of sandpaper between the tight surfaces and forcefully rubbing the painted surface against the sandpaper. Sometimes rubbing parafine in a window groove lubricates enough to allow it to move easily.
If the house has settled, the evidence will be cracked walls and ceilings or opening of joints, in the woodwork around doors and windows. A wood house is light and least likety to settle. However, if the ground movement has been great enough to cause trouble, the leveling of the wood house foundation posts and beams is comparativelv simple.
Mcisture in wood usually causes trouble and indicates that something is wrong either in the construction of the house or in the use of the house appliances. A most obvious symptom of too much moisture is condensation on the windows. The remedy may be a simple regulation of the humidifier on the furnace or opening a window in the laundry or in'the bathroom after taking a shower. Cooking and dishwashing put a great deal of moisture into the air. An exhaust fan in the kitchen is good for removing the moist air as well as cooking odors. Ventilation of attics, basements and crawl space areas is important. Condensation of moisture in the attic space can cause damage to ceilings and walls. Excess moisture in basements and crawl spaces can induce decay. A good rule is to provide I to I square inch of ventilator opening per square foot for attics (flatter the roof-larger the opening) and 2 square feet of opening for 100 lineal feet of foundation wall in hasementless houses. Needless to say the. basement of any house should have the walls waterproofed and adequate drainage provided for outside water. A clothes drier any place in the house should be vented or a fan provided for exhausting the moist air.
Another sign of too much moisture getting into the wood might be peeling or blistering paint on the exterior walls. Such damage might stem from moisture-laden air inside the house pushing out through the sidewalls. leaky roofs, poor exterior joints, lack of or damage to fashing or even clogged gutters. If the wood is wet behind the loosening paint, something is wrong with the construction of the house and no paint will hold until the error is corrected.
But that is too much emphasis on an. unlikely circumstance. Chances are the paint is just dingy and only needs to be freshened up. If the surface is sound and in good condition. it may be that hosing or scrubbing of the old paint is all that is needed. If repainting is required, r'ood siding offers an deal surface for the exciting new pastel shades or the ever popular trimness of a white house.
With a wood house, maintenance is simple; and properly built and given reasonable care it s'ill outlive a homeowner and his children.
