How lrumber lrooks

Portland, Oregon, January 14-Al1 lumber production records for the Douglas fir region were broken in 1951 as sawmills in western Oregon and Washington totaled up a booming 11.198 billion board feet output.

This topped 1950 by over half a billion feet, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. The 10.663 billion feet cut in 1950 had set a record for the l2S years of operation of the industry in the Douglas fir region. Previous high years were 1926 with 10.285 billion board feet and 1929 with IO.290 billion board feet.

Shipments in 1951, Smith said, also broke all previotts records with mills loading out frorn this region during 1951 a rousing 11.021 billion feet. This was more than 200 million feet over 1950, the best previous year.

C)rders for 1951 reached 10.494 billion feet, one <tf the largest years, but not equal to the record 1950 order file of 11.165 billion feet, Smith pointed out.

The weekly average of West Coast I-unrber production in l)ecember rvas 180,283,000 b.f. or I00.3/o of the 1946-1950 average. Orders averaged 181,939,000 b.f.; shipments 163,117,000 b.f. Weekly averag'es for November were: Prodr.rction 209,237,000 b.f. (116.1% of the 19.16-1950 average) ; orders 178,484,000 b.f.; shipments 207,935,0N b.l.

Fifty-trvo weeks of 1951 cumulative production 11,19u,459,000 b.f.; fifty-two rveeks of 1950, 10,663,898,000 b.f.; fifty-two weeks of 1919,9,870,297,000 b.f.

Orders for fif ty-trvo rveeks of 1951 breakckru'n as follon's: Rail & truck 7,202,432,M b.f.; domestic cargo, 2,--

Ol7 ,701,000 b.f ; export 646,416,000 b.f ' ; local 627 ,@6,000 b 'f ' ' Lunrber shipments of 505 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 6.0 per cent belolv production for the rveek ended January 12, 1952. In the same r.n''eek new orders of these mills r,vere 10.1 per cent above production. Unfilled orders of the reporting mills amounted to 40 per cent of stocks. For the reporting softwood mills, trrrfillecl orders were ecluivalent to 24 days' productiorr at the current rate, and gross stocks were equivalent to 55 clays' production.

For the year-to-date, shipments of reporting identical rr.rills rvere 2.2 per cent belon' proclttctior-r ; orders rvere 16'6 per cent above production.

An event of the past $reek was the opening of a ne'lv 'rvholesale firm in Los Angeles. The Eells-Walker Plywood & Door Co. threl'open its doors on January 27 and sent out its offerings of doors and plywood to the dealer trade.

This nerv firm occupies a r\rarehouse of approximately 10,000 sq. ft. at 2725 Comptcrn Ave., Los Angeles 11. While a small neat office occupies 200 sq. ft., the balance of the rvarehouse is devoted to merchandise directed torvard the dealer trade. The building is served by the Pacific Electric Itaill'ay and space alongsicle the u'arehouse u,ill accommodate tl-rree cars. There is a large paved yard outside the rvarehouse for truck loading and quick service on r'vill call orders is assured. Ampie telephonc ser{'ice is available. A teletype will be installed shortly.

The company is a California corporation and the offrcers, .|ohrr \\ralker, vice president, and John Eel1s, president, bring to the business a combined total of 42 1'ears' experience in the p11-11,e6d and door field.

John Walker has been associated rvith the door ar-rd millu.ork field since 1930. FIe has had experience in estimating and sales rvith the \\r. \\r. Kimball Piano Co. and the lldrvard F. Hines f,umber Co., both of Chicago, I11. l Ie also spent some vears l'ith the Roddis Co. of Chicago :rncl Rodclis Califorr-ria Inc. of Los Angeles. He is very familiar rvith the building inclustry both here and in the liast. His practical knot'ledge of detail plans and specificatiorrs r.vil1 be of material assistance to dealer cllstomers in tl-ris territory. IIr. \\,'alker lives in Whittier.

Tr-r regard to this nerr' bnsiness venture, X{r. \\ralker s1atec1, "This is the first tinre in 10 years rr'e har-c had suffrcicnt materiul to permit the n'holcsaler to really be of some scrr-icc to the dealer. \Ve need no longer apologize for inventorr. shortages an<1 can at last give the retailer u'hat he neerls to clo his iob. We are l.erv enthusiastic about thc future."

John 1iclls rvas a long-time Rodclis employee. \\rhile rvith that firm he servecl in Ilihvaukee, Chicago, Granrl Rapicis, Cirrcinnati, Ne'lv York and at the home oflice ir-r NIarshfreld, \\ris.

When intervien'ed, N{r. Eells was very emphatic in sayilg, "We have no fault to find with these times or this market. While it's true that the frantic market createcl by the past war boom and scarcity has subsided someu'hat, plyt'ood is stil1 the fincst and most economical procluct for its many, ma11y uses and der.nand resulting from \\.ar uses u'ill certairrlv sustain our business and any other' clcdicated to fair practices and sirrcere service."

The [,el1s-\\'a1ker Plyrvoocl & Door Co., as the nan-re implies, r'vill confine itself to sales of hardrvood and softrvood pl1'u'oocl and harcln,oocl flush type doors. The Company is very fcirtunate in having the exclusive representation of tn'o very hne eastcrn manufacturers. The Company rvill carry in its l'arehouse and n'ill offer from the mill cloors by t1.re llardu'oocl l'roducts Corporation of Neenah, Wis. This firm has been manufacturing solid core hardn'oocl doors for over forty years and in addition to its regular line produces the l{iverbank Sound Insulating I)oors, of national reputatiorl, iind a r.vood veneered fireproof door. Numbe:ed among the prominent jobs rvhich have used Harcln'ood Products doors is the Hotel Waldorf ir.r Nerv York Citv. Hardl.ood Products is a particulrrrlv meticulous manufacturer, follorving the most detailed achitects' specifications.

It certainly took the ar*., ,"*stry of the United States a long time to learn the truth about forestry, but as the Good Book says, when it finally did learn, that learning unlocked the fetters that had held it in bondage; bondage to the idea that when the virgin forests were exhausted, that would be practically the end of the timber and lumber business. "Cut out and move on, or quit business" was the way the industry thought and acted for several generations.

Yet all the time tn. tr,ltn -*"1 .n.r., waiting to be discovered and proven and developed; the truth that the commercial forests of the nation are eternal when intelligently handled; just as much so as the continued productivity of properly managed farm land. The untruth that waited to be unmasked was the idea that even the fastest growing trees require a great number of years to grow saw logs, so why should short-lived man be interested in spending time and money on such a crop?

I cheerfully-if regre,*rr-**ess that the fatalistic opinion that forests once cut are gone, belonged to me for many years. I used to think that the pine forests of the South would be gone all too soon; that the softwoods of the West would follow in their turn; and that the world must inevitably look elsewhere for its building material. I recall that I used to wonder what the stocks of building material in the retail lumber vards would look like when that came about.

rt should be said ir, "fl Li.ll.rl ,r,., the timber and lumbermen of the first quarter of this century should not be judged too harshly for the deaf ear and cold eye they turned toward the proposition of growing trees for market. During the greater part of the time from the beginning of the century until about 1920 the lumber industry was harassed and cast down by what used to be called "over-production." There were plenty of big trees, and plenty of sawmills, and the necessity for running was great and financial in most cases, so they made more lumber much of the time than could be sold at a profit. And low mar. gins of profit-or no margins af all-s'7sse not conducive to the awakening of tree-growing enthusiasm, when the trees they already owned were proving a burden. Why worry about growing young forests when the old forests were being sacrificed for terribly low prices?

fn an industry that has always been peopled by intelligent men, I am willing to believe that had the financial aspects of the lumber industry been happier, plenty of men who cut their last virgin trees and quit, would have been open-minded to suggestions for replacing their forests through their own efforts. But it was far from a prosperous industry most of the time, and no doubt a lot of good men sighed with relief when they finally reached the end of their timber, and the end of their efforts to "make her go." Second growth timber? Why?

I admit to feeling " ..1-rr.* of relief not long ago when one of our greatest and most respected forestry authorities admitted that back in those days, he too shared the popular belief that growing commercial trees for market seemed an impractical dream. He said: "We could not see the little trees behind the stumps of the big trees." That described the viewpoint thirty years ago of most men in the lumber and timber industrv.

***

So the truth has made us free, us meaning the entire lumber and timber industry, on the subject of re-growing the commercial forests of the nation, and we should be terrifically proud of what has been accomplished in the last decade. This industry may be a slow starter, but when it gets going it throws up lots of dust. One of the impressive signs of the times in 1951 was when the owners of a tree farm went out and hired for the manager of its tree-growing business one of the most important and highsalaried men in the entire lumber industry of the nation. That kind of tree growing is big business.

The beauty of the- ,ia,r"liori i"',tr", practical forestry ancl tree growing can be practiced by operations of every size, from stands of hundreds of thousands of acres right down to woodland owners, and to farmers with 40 acres of land and a team of mules. There are many thousands of such small ones methodically and intelligently growing trees for market in this country today, as a cash crop.

Often I think of the "O*r,""rdes for money making that would have presented themselves to a prophetic soul who, forty years ago, had been able to foresee the things that all of us know now about tree growing. As a friend of mine remarked on the subject, such a prophet could have "parlayed a thousand dollars into a million" and done it easily.

(I am thinking particularly, of course, about tree growing in the South where numerous new forests are now being cut in nine or ten year cycles, and where beautiful com-

mercial forests stand on land that was valued at next to nothing thirty to forty years back.)

This conctudes our nr;.; ul"".rr"ror, of tree growing. I shall devote the remainder of this column to a genuine scrap-book article on the subject of trees that will probably appeal to most tree lovers. In Thomas Dreier's charming little magazine of short literature, The Vagabond, there recently appeared a lovely piece of prose-poetry written by one Line Harger, and titled-"The Pagan White Birch." This bit of phantasy has no reference to Birch as a building material, but if you have the love of trees in your soul, this could be very appealing:

"The white birch of "; ;r,Lrn woods seems to hold within its veins more of the elixir of ancient Pagandom than any other of our impulsive, untended wood growths. Its waving elegance, its white smoothness of limb, the real inefficiency-of its green veil, even its shy preference for untrodden earth and unappropriate hillsides, gives it a

half-fleeting suggestion of the fabled days when nymph and faun danced with the shadow of the song-haunted forest.

"Coleridge calls the white birch 'The Lady Of the Woods,' but beyond the poetical suggestion of sex and award of beauty given in a hint in the young birch tree of simple, perfect tree-life, one is haunted by visions of slender nymphhood, always young and always beautiful, dancing joyously through rainbow-colored days and sleeping lightly through mists of star-threaded darkness, waiting for the golden call of the Sunbeams to begin again the rhythmic waltz of, motion.

"One has only to sit long enough with a birch tree in the bewilderment of summer hours, to hear and see and feel its relation to dreams, which lbng ago people have dreamed of its relation to life, without self-made law lived as the birds live with their only code written within their natures by the hand that made them."

Joyce Kilmer would n"; ;J those remarks.

SR-87 Ceiling Prices for Resellers of Lumber And Allud \(/ood Products

\Vashington, I). C., January 1S-The Offrce of I'rice Stal:ilization today issued an interirn regulation for resellers of lun.rber and allied r,vood products under u'hich they rvill determine their ceilings l>y applying their customary markups to the cost to them of the materials they sell.

Fclrmulas for establishir-rg such ceilings are prescribed in Supplementary I{egulation 87 to the General Ceiling L'rice Regulation. GCPR, applicable to resellers of such products in the Continental United States and Alaska and effective January 22, 1952.

Heretofore reseilers of lurnber products have determined their ceilings under GCPR or Supplementary Regulation 29 to GCPR. They have the option under the neu' supplenrentary regulation of continuing to use those ceilings.

'fhe ncu' supplementary regulati<ln rvhich conforms rvith thc requirenrents of tl.re Herlong Amendment to the Defense .Production Act provicles for repeated.recalculations of ceilings by resellers to reflect increascs and decreases in the cost to thcnr of the products they harrdle. Once a reseller elects to usc the pricing formulas in the nen' supplementary regulation he must use them for all the lumber items he sells. and may not go back to his GCPR or SR 29 ceilings.

Thc nen' supplernentlrrv regulatiorr rvill lternrit upn'ard 1r:-icc adjustments bv individual resellers rl'ho have been cauglrt in a sclueeze ltetween their present ceilings and replacen.rent c()sts; hou.errcr, this is offset by the obligation to nralie clou'tru-ar<l adjustmerrts to reflect any clecreases irr suppliers' prices.

Tlrc neu' srrpplcnrcntary regulati()n c()vers resellers' sales oI lunrlrer, logs, r.eneer, plyrvoocl, rrrill.n'ork arrtl other allied rvood proclucts. Sales l>,f intportcrs of irlportetl prriducts, u'hich r1()\\' urre srrbjcct to either the GCITR or the In-rport Iiegulation. CI'Il 31, ure not cor.crcd. Resalc of imported proclucts ltv rcsellers other tharr iurporters is rrnder the neu' supplemcntary rcgulation.

Tt is estimzrte<l thc neu' supltlementary rcgulation is availalrle trr 2(t.AA0 retail lrrrr-rber dealers and abont .1.000 u.holes:rlcrs an<l jobbers.

Unrlcr the rren- su1>plenrentarv rcgulation, a reseller cleternrines the ceilirrg or1 irny particular lun.rber item bv applying to the current cost of the iten'r the pcrcerrtasc nurrkuP u'hich hc emPloyed for that item during cither the base ire:-io<l proviclecl rrn<ler GCPR, Dccembcr 19, 1950. to Janrrar_v 25. 1951, or an alternate base period fronr NIay 1 through Jrrne 30, 19.50. as hc chooses. tle nrust employ the same lrase periocl irr making all calculations under the ncu, supplenrentary regulation.

Thc percer.rtage nrarkup is thc percentagc bv l'hich the base pcriod sclling price exceeded the base period cost.

The base period price is either the highest price or the average price at t'hich the reseller delivered the item during the l>ase priod in the same quantity ltracket to a prlrchaser of the same class.

A class of purchaser is determined by the reseller's practice in setting differerrt prices for sales to different kinds

of purchasers, such as industrial users, retailers, public institutions or individuals, or purchasers located in diffcrent areas, or purchasers of different quantities or gracles or' under different terms or conditions of sale or clelivery.

The base period cost is either the exact net invoice or acquisition cost of the item, if compared u'ith the highcst base period p:ice ; or the average net inr.oice or accluisitiorr cost, if compared rvith an average selling price. Whether a net invoice cost or an acquisition cost is used depends orr the cost used in pricing during tl.re base period.

If the reseller did not, during the base period, clelir-er:rrr itern he is pricing in the same quantity bracket to the samc class of customer, he takes the percer.rtage marknp fronr the mclst comparable item sold during the bzrse period to a purchaser of the same class ; or, if that is lackirrg, the markup on a sale of the same item to a purchaser of a <lifferent class, adjusted to reflect the differential betu-eer.r the turo classes of purchasers existing during the base periocl.

The current cost of ar.r item is either the exact net iuvoice or acquisition cost, or the average net itrvoice or accluisition cost, depending on the method of pricing customarily employecl by the reseller.

Resellers u'ho cannot cletermine their ceilings b1-the foregoing methods, because they are net, in busirress, or for other reasons, may applv to the Forest Products I)ir,ision, Office of I'rice Stabilization, \\'ashington, D.C., for establishment of percentage markups.

Applicants are required to furnish prescribed prrrticr.tllrs and propose a markup. Ceilings determined by rrse of tl.re proposed markups become effective automaticallr- 30 days after filing unless OPS in tl.re meantirne approves, disapprives, establishes a difterent markrrp, or requests aclditional information. If additional information is recluestecl. the proposed rnarkups become effective automaticallv 20 days after the informatjon is furnishe<l unless there is further action by OPS in the meantime.

Applicants l'ho l'ere in business during the base periocl after filing, may sell at ceilings detern.rinecl by use of thc proposed markups, subject to adjustmerrts if thev are not accepted by OPS.

An :rpplicant n'ho \\'as not in business cluring either base period. but u,ho snbsequently established ceilir-rgs trnder the GCPR, may, after application for markups and pending their approval, continue to sell at his old GCPR ceilings. Neu' resellers mttst n'ait rrntil their proposecl 1re-centage markups are approved by OPS before using them.

Resellers u'ho elect to price under the neu, supl)lementary regulation rnust, from time to time, recalculate ceiling prices to reflect any decreases in cnrrent costs. These recalculations must be made as frequently as n'as the reseller's custom during his base period. For items carried in in\.entory for n'hich there is a reduction in cost, the recalculations must be made rvithin 31 da1's after receipt of the lrrmber item.

Ceiling prices may be rounded out ir.r conforr.nitl. l'ith the practice employed during the base period.

8001000 N"w Homes in 1952

Autho fized

\\,-ashington, Jar. 2l-The Government gave the constrrlction industry a go-ahead today for 800,000 new homes and apartments in 1952, provided builders keep a tight rein on the use of scarce materials.

The figu:e announced by Housing Administrator Foley represents a compromise r,vith the industry u'hich protested stronglv against an earlier tentative proposal to cut the total to about 6 0,000 new units.

Horvever, on an annual basis it 'lvill mean about 22 per cent fewer homes and apartments can be.started this year tharr the 1.090.000 constructed in 1951.

The Government also told builders that app:oximately 200,000 of the new starts must be made in delense areas u,here housing is critically short and that they s'i11 have to <lig into their present stocks of scarce materials such as copper and alttminum.

Foley said builders r.l'ill need to "exercise much self discipline" in order to stay rvithin the 800,000 limitation.

Simultaneously, the National Procluction -A.uthoritv saicl it is tightening its p:ogram which limits construction of stores, churches, office buildings and other big projects using large amounts of structural steel.

Demand lncreases lor Philippine Mahogany Millwork

Now, rvell beyond the trial stage, and taking its place u'ith an assured future among building materials, Philippine Mahogany Bevel and V-Joint Siding'continue to create intcrest and provide sales, especially on the Pacific Coast.

As a result of the above, the Mahogany Importing Comllany of Los Angeles announces that recent facilities have l;een added to the mill in the Philippine Islands toward greatly increasing the supply of tirese items. Both "Mico" I'hilippine Mahogany Siding and Philippanel, products of this company, are lnanufactured under ideal conditions ancl r.ith excellent equipment and know-hor,v in the Philippine Islands.

-A.mong many firms reporting excellent sales of these products are Fir-Tex of Southern California and Fir-Tex of Northern California. So enthusiastic is the latter firm, that they advise they have just completed paneling their entire rrerv beautiful offices at 1455 Custer Avenue, San Francisco, with Philippanel, and that much agreeable comment h:rs been forthcoming by dealers u'ho have visited these ,,ffices.

I'hilippanel is Nlahogany Importing Company's sf" Solid Philippine Mahogany interior paneling and is a product that has been sold by this company for a great many years

and is well known throughout the entire United States, according to Dennis Jackson, sales manager, who states:

"Mico Philippine Mahogany exterior siding is used to best advantage when finished naturally, allowing the unexcelled beauty of grain and figure to reflect the pride oi ownership of those who create beautiful homes. Finished with, and protected by any reputable varnish t1'pe rvood sealer such as Log Oil, this wood is enduring and readily withstands inclemencies of weather to an entirely satisfactory degree. Furnished in s/+" and f" Bevel Siding'and in )1" Y-Joint Rustic type, this is now obtainable in all parts of the Pacific Coast from San Diego to Seattle. Cost is comparable to domestic woods used for this same purpose.

"Obtainable also from Mico distributors are Philippine Nlahogany mouldings, trim, door jambs, etc. Elimination of expensive ocean freight on rvaste material in the manllfacture of these items brings this beautiful Philippine Mahogany trim into homes at an extremely reasonable cost. A full assortment of patterns is available.

"It is worthy of mention that, rvith the growing scarcity of better known domestic hardu'oods, the abundartt supply of Philippine Mahogany is, fortunately, available to add its l>eauty to American homes."

An Indian Promoter

The magazine "Tatler," published in London, tells an American Indian story up-to-date that deserves much attention.

The story goes that an old Indian in British Columbia was consulted by the men who were clearing away the forest for the great Alaskan Highway. The white men wanted to know what kind of winter was coming. The Indian predicted very definitely that the coming winter would be a very long and severe one. Everybody took his word for it, because these Indians are supposed to have the

It occurred to one of the road builders that he ought to find out how the Indian knew about the approaching cold. So he cornered the brave and asked him how he could tell what the winter was going to be like? And the Indian said:

"Ugh ! Winter plenty cold ! Easy to tell ! White man cut much wood !"

O.k Flooring Manufacturers Annual Meeting

'I'he hardrvood flooring industry hopes to gain a greater share of the available residential market in 1952, President \Iilton Craft declarecl zrt the recent annual meeting of thc National Oak Flooring N[anufacturers' Association in N{emphis, Tenn.

He reported that 1951 n'as the second biggest year in the industry's history. Final 1951 shipment figures for the St>uthern and Appalachian rcgions, sorlrce of about 90 per cent of the nation's hardu.ood flooring, \\'ere expected to approach 950 million board feet.

Craft said tl.rat n'ould represent a decline of less than 8 lrer cent from the record output of 1,a25,762,000 board feet in 1950, as cornpared u'ith a drop of about 22 per cent in housing starts. While this ttnusually good shou'ing could be attributecl partly to the large carrl'-over of unfinished homes :rt thc beginning of 1951, he asserted, it also u'as eviclence that more oak flooring rvas being used in relation to the rrrrmber of neu. homes. Approximately 95 l)cr cent of tlrc Southern and Appalachiar-r output u'as oak. The rest corrsistecl mainly of harcl maple, beech. birch an<l l)ecan.

'I'hc 1951 volume, Craft pointed ottt. u'as erlttivltletrt 1o :rbout 862 feet per drvelling unit startecl, l'hile the record total of 1950 represente<l a ratio of 73-1 fcct for each of thc I.396.000 houses started that year.

I'lxplaining that forecasts of tl.re 1>robable numbcr ol' rlrvclling starts in 1952 r'arv consiclerably, he said it rvas <liFflcult to estimate the likely volume of hardu'ood flooring.

"Al1 indicaticlns are," he said, "that hon.re constructiott rr-ill be app::eciably lot'er than in 1951, l'hen more than 1 nrillion units s'ere startecl. Estimates of 800.000 to 850.000 seclr to be about right in viel' of present conclitions. \\rhilc such a volume of starts naturally r'r'ould lorver the ueecl {ot' hardrvoocl floorirrg, it s-ould keep demand at a fairly hig'lr Ievel.

"In all likelihood shipments still u.ould exceed those for' inrv vear prior to 19.18. Almost certainly thel' n'ould toll tlr<rse for the record pre-war home btrilding vear of 1925. In that 1'ear 937,000 dwelling units l'ere started and har<ln'oocl flooring output totaled slightly less than 575 milliorr fcct. ()t'itbout 613 per unit.

Predicts Good Year

Jack Bryant, managing director, Asphalt Roofing Industr)- Bureau, states: "Manufactnrers shipped 86,704,100 squares of asphalt roofing in 1950, an all-time high. Yet, :rccording to the I)epartment of Commerce, shipments in thc first eight months of 1951 rvere ahead of the first eight rronths of 1950 by 1,400,000 sqtlares."

As for the outlook for the asphalt roofing business in 1952, he says: "Another bumper year is in prospect. Desltite govemment controls, even the most pessimistic prerlict another good year in nerv home construction in 1952, ;rnd thc rcmodeling-reroofing picture \vas never brighter."

grrln'rs in 1952 tl.re association plar.rs to sustain ancl increase: 1he popularity gains achieved fi-,r oak floorir-rg in reccttt ),ears. In this \vity we hope to olfset, as mttch as Possiblc, tl.re effects of home construction cutbacks by gaining :t I{rcater share of the available residential marliet, u'hater,er lhlrt rnal' be."

The Bravest Bcttle

The bravest battle that ever was fought, Shall I tell you where and when?

On the maps of the world you will find it not; 'Twas fought by the mothers of men.

Nay, not with cannon or battle-shot, With sword, or nobler pen;

Nay, not with eloquent word or thought, From mouths of wonderful men.

But deep in a welled-up woman's heartOf woman that would not yield, But bravely, silently bore her partLo ! There is the battlefield !

No marshalling troop, no bivouac song; No banners to gleam and wave ! But oh, these battles they last so longFrom babyhood to the grave!

Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars, She fights in her walled-up town, Fights on, and on in the endless wars, Then silent, unseen, goes down.

O ye with banners and battle shot, And soldier to shout and praise, I telI you the kingliest victories fought, Are fought in these silent ways.

-Joaquin Miller.

The Fundicn OI An Executive

As nearly everybody knows, an executive has practically nothing to do except to decide what has to be done; to tell somebody to do it; to listen to reasons why it should not be done, why it should be done by someone else, or why it should be done in a different way; to follow up to see if the thing has been done; to discover that it has not; to inquire why; to listen to excuses from the person who should have done it; to follow up again to see if the thing has been done, only to discover that it has been done incorrectly; to point out how it should have been done; to conclude that as long as it has been done it may as well be left where it is; to wonder if it is not time to get rid of a person who cannot do a thing right; to reflect that he probably has a wife and a large family, and that certainly €rny successor would be just as bad, and maybe worse; to consider who much simpler and better the thing would have been done if one had done it oneself in the first place; to reflect sadly that one could have done it right in twenty minutes, and, as things turned out, one has had to spend two days to find out why it has taken three weeks for somebody else to do it wrong.-Anonymous.

The Bible

Born in the East and clothed in Oriental form and imagery, the Bible walks the ways of all the world with familiar feet, and enters land after land to find its own everywhere. It has learned to speak in hundreds of languages to the heart of man. It comes into the palace to tell the monarch that he is a servant of the Most High, and into the cottage to assure the peasant that he is a son of God. Children listen to its stories with wonder and delight, and wise men ponder them as parables of life. It has a word of peace for the time of peril, a word of comfort for the day of calamitS a word of light for the hour of darkness. Its oracles are repeated in the assembly of the people, and its councils whispered in the ear of the lonely. The wicked and the proud tremble at its warning, but to the wounded and the penitent, it has a mother's voice. The wilderness and the solitary place have been made glad by it, and the fire on the hearth has lit the reading of its well-worn page. It has woven itself into our deepest affections and colored our dearest dreams so that love and friendship, sympathy and devotion, memory and hgpe, put on the beautiful garments of its treasured speech, breathing of frankincense and myrrh.-Henry Van Dyke.

\(/est Coast Timber Owners Certify Over 4,OO0,O00 Acres as Tree Farms

Conservation of forest resources is on the march in the great West Coast forests.

In ten short years, West Coast tirnber owners have put their forest house in order, certifying over 4,000,000 acres of private, taxpaying land as \\'est Coast Tree Fartls. In addition, lhese far-sighted forest leaders have given the nation the greatest impetus to good forestry and a terrific shot in the arm in the form of the Tree Farr-n program, the Keep Green program rrncl enlightened forest legislation, all of which have been :rdopted generally throughout the country.

In the Douglas fi: region lvest of the Cascacles in Washington and Oregon 37 1,er cent of all inclustrial forests have beeti ccrtifiecl as West Coast Tree Farms.

Dnring 1951,322,(t92 acres of taxpaying forest lands rverc tlcdicatecl by their ourrrers as West Coast tree farms ar-rcl placed under perpetual forc-st cropping ancl tnanagetlent. Inclutlctl were seven new tree farnrs in Oregon totalling 213,445 acres and 1,.532 acres addecl to six existing tree farms. Washingtorr su\\r seven lrew trec farnrs aclded to their totals aggregating .15.605 acres and 72.110 acres were aciclecl tcl cleven tree farms already recognized.

Norv western Oregon has a total of 44 tree farms of 1,517,983 acres ancl western \\'ashington has 2,492,419 acres in 74' tree farms. Total tree farnr acreage in the Douglas fir region nou'adcls trp to 4,010,.102 acres, r'vhich is a healthy increase of 8.5 per cent in a singie year.

"Tree farms insur,, stability oi land olvnership," said E. P. Stamrl, chairman o;t the Forest Conservation Comrnittee of l'acific Northlvest F rest In<htstrics, the West Coast certifying organization.

Stamm went on to sal' his organization has been nrost carefttl in granting West Coast tree farm certificates. In tl-re past lcn years, ten ccrtific:rtes have been c:rncellecl for noncollpliar.rce with the rules

"Landowners llrust provicle," Stan.rrn saicl, "adequate protection against fire, insects and disease. They r-nust practice comfilon sense harvesting methods to gain natural reproduction. To insure cornoliance our foresters nral<e periodic inspectior.r trips over cvery tree farm.

"Our intentions alc to get the private forest ou'ner to practicc souncl forestry," the veteran forest leacler proclairned. "We rvill continue our carrpaign until the rnajority of all privatelyor,r'ned lands are under intensive forest managernent."

One of the clirect results of applying sound forest practices to these \\'est Coast forests has been to step up the utilization l)rograr1l in cooperaiion u'ith lur-nber and plyr,r'ood and pulp nranufacturers.

It is estimatecl by public ancl private foresters that an a<1tli[ional 25 per cent of sound wood is being taken off everl' acre of land in the Douglas fir region today than was possible tcn 1'ears ago. This.has col11e about because of two great utilization moves in this region. One is the far-sighted policy of nrerchandising lower grades of West Coast lumber, which has crrablecl loggers to hling out many small trees, marginal log* :rnd short logs whicli were one time left in the woods for lack of a rlarket.

The other great step in more complete utilization has beerr the technilogical developments in the pulp industry which rrrakes it possible to use small logs. Pulp firms, in the past two years, have also ,nstituted a virtual revolution as they have installed about 75 chipping plants at sar,vmills and plvwoocl plants to convert leitover wood into high grade pulp chips This wood formerly went into less valuable uses for fuel for steam and electric plants.

Best estimate out l)ere is that the present volume of Dotrglas hr forests has been rugmented by some 125 billion board'feet of lumber because of this vastly improved utilization program,

Roy Barto Discusses Business Conditions in Philippines

Iloy Bartrt, president of Mahogany Importing Company, Los Angeles, returned early in Jar.ruary from a three months' visit to the I)hilippine Islands, rvhere he covered tl.re lumber operations in the major producing islands. He rvas g-reatly pleased rvith the opportunity of visiting olcl friends in the I'hilippine lumber industrl', and rnaking the acquaintzrnce of the r-nan1' ne\\' concerns thzrt have been developed since the u'ar.

Speaking of recoverv he said: "Recovery in Nfanila and in general is rnore than goocl. Manila is rebuilt much better tharr it s.as originally, the only exception being in the rvalled city.

"There is an abundance of good hotel and apartment accommodation. Residential building is not only of superior qualitv but has been expanded greatly beyond previous boundaries.

"The poptrlation increasc is about 30 ller cent o\rer Pren'ar figurcs. Harl>or and rvaterfront facilities arc frrlly rehabilitated.

"The lunrber industry in point of quality of output and rrrrmber o{ mills has increased materially over Pre\\rar. Mills however, have not fully recor.ered in respect to modernizlrtion and efficiency, u,hich is'largely due to exchange control lin.ritir.rg imports. The consenslls among the lumlter fraternitf ir-r general is that since the industrv is an irnportant factor in obtaining dollar exchange, rvhich the countr1' so badh,- needs, there should lte a more liberal governrlental policy rvith regard to imports of mill and logging machinerl', and supplies.

"Considerable strides have been m:rcle in the ir.rtrocluction of truck and tractor logging. This not only malces possible greater selection, but makes timber available fror"n isolatecl areas that could not feasibly be exploited ttncler previous methods of n,oods operations."

Mahogany in 1952

Geo. N. Lamb, Secretary-Manager Mahogany Association Inc.

\\rhat r,vill happe'' in the Mahogany industry in 1952? It seerns to me that nr-rt so long ago it was rather easy to write an "outlook" for th,: year. Then as the year rolled by, events largely confirrnecl the story. Now the job seems much more cliliicult. A year ago our predictions hit the mark except that lve clid not realize fully that there would be a pile-up of furniture inventories and the slowdown in buying that they would cause during 1951.

\\re rvere right in believing that requirements for war production would not hamper furniture production in any seriotts way in 1951. Even "ora,, it does not appear that war procluctiorr n,ill be a limiting factor in 1952, certainly not during the first half of the year. Unless the war situation taltes a serious turn, fulniture production will be adequate for the next twelvt' rronths.

It all adds up to just this. If Mr. Stalin allows the Unitecl States to operate in 1952 according to our plans, war requiremerrts for wood and wood products are unlikely to cause an,i' real shortage in supplies for civilian use. This probably will be the case even thc.ugh woocl production may run into sonre difficulties later in the year because qf shortages in labor, ecluipment and suppiies.

The Mahogany outlook ties up rather closely with thc prospects of the furniture industry for 1952. The pro<luction of television sets also rii'ill have an important influence. The men in that industry best clualified to judge the probable volume of next year's production expect that about 4,250,000 sets will be r.nanufactured. Tirat is not far from what will be produce<l in 1951 when all of the reports are in.

Tlris production will mean rrore as a markct in 1952 than it did in 1951 as television sets were greatly overproduced in the last quarter of 1950 and the first quarter of 1951. This was due to a mad scramble to builcl sets before war reqttirements iuterfered. The expected interference did not materialize, so the television industry' strugglecl rvith excess inventory the rest of the year, with production dropping to very low levels.

The demand for Mahogany for moclels, mocli-ups and founclry patterns will be up during the coming year as the atlditional supply of machine tools permits increasing procluction in lvar goods.

The dernand for \{ahogany for caskets also will be up as inventories of material for metal caskets are consttmed an<l additional supplies are sharply curtailed.

As r,l'e stated befcre, the demand for Mahogany for furniture depends upon the volume of furniture that rvill be produced during the year. There ahvays is a lot of shifting aboulin clesign and woods in times rvhen demanrl is less than supply. This is particularly true when productive capacity has been substantially increased during a period of unusttal demand. The demand for Mahogany, however, continues strong. Comparatively it is fully maintaining its position in the furniture field. This is confirmed by the demand for the Mahogany Assocation's offrcial labels and tags. The tendency has been for

rranufacturers to rvitlen lines to include more moderu zrnd Provincial design in other woods. The same tendency extends to the retail tracle in certain stores or areas.

In the case of the {urniture industry, the end of World War II released a backlog of demand and a filling of the distribution pipeline that made the current demand appear to be tremendous. Just as tlre industry was catching up, the Koreatt situation startecl a wave of scare buying.

At the present turn of the year, excess inventory has been grcatly reduced ancL u'ith a great m?ny fi1115, it has been cntirely liclridated. 'fhis might indicate that the Jauttary urarket rvill be a big one and back to normal. It rvill be bacli to norrnal but that normal u,ill be lvitl-rout thc benefit of the war' tirre backlog of clen..and ancl scare buying, but r'vith substantially increasecl productive capacit,v. Reduction in the building of new hotnes also .lill be a factor in curtailing clernand antl thc shift toward de1'cnsc housing r'vill aggravate that curtailment.

In spite of the con<litions just cited, a lot of furniture will be rna<le and sold. It will not be surprising if the 1952 volume equals that of 195i. If it is oft, tl.re percentage should be snrall. If this proves trtte, the demand for Mahogany for furniture shoulcl be reasonably good.

We clo not believc that the all-over cler.nancl for N{ahogany rvill be sufficient to talie care of the all-time record importation of Mahogany in 1950 and 1951 ; on the other hand, rve clo not cxpect that 1952 importation will approach the records of tht: lllrst tr'vo Years. Iu both tlf these yeats conditions in tl-re tropics have been extremely favc;rable for procluction ancl it is r"rnlikely tlr:Lt such conclitions r,ill continuc for three ye:rrs in iI row. Iivcn if physical conditions are reasonably gootl, tirere are othcr limiting factors Costs have been rising stea<li11' ancl show rro signs of leveling off. Eclttipr.r.rent, supplies, transportation ancl ralr, rr-raterial are costing lnore l-lloney. In a nutnber of thc proclucing areas, econornic ar.rcl political conclitions are becot.nins more difficult.

Inventories of l{ahogany velleer are bacli to norr.ual but inventories of tN'[aho;:an)' luurber still are well below normal. liverything consitle rcil, the trlahoganlr itt4tttttt looks forrn'ard' not to a big year, bt'.t to a good year.

Lumber Answers School Construction Program

Washington, D.C.-There is no valid reason for holding up or putting ofi the buiiding of vitally needed schools throughout the natiqn in 1952. John B. Veach, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.C., declared today that plenty of timber is available for both defense and civilian needs. He said that savings up to 30/o for roof construction alone are rossible through the use of timber trusses, and that timber fabricators have adequate capacity to suppli' structural framing for schools and other buildings.

Veach announced that, as a result of a recent national survey, over 1600 architects have reported that they are designing all types of jobs in t:mber, and225 reported they are designing wood frame schools liow. A concurrent survey of timber fabricators in all sections of the country shows that the industry, on one shift, has the capa-city to provide the needs of over 400 million board feet of wooden roof trusses per year.

Veach drew attentron to the growing popularity of one-storv frame schools in the past several years. He attributed this incerasing trend, now accentuated by the metal shortage, to the ready availability, prompt deliveries and economical prices for wood frame materials. On a recent Maryland job, Veach stated, the architect found it possible to make a 30/. saving in roof constructiorr cost by using glued laminated timber in place of metal. This. he said, is typical of savings that can be made now in all parts of the country.

Advertisements \fill Tell StorY o( Tree Farms and Wood Utlization

To better zrcquaint the American public with the steps being taken by the forest industry to assure the nation of a perpetual timber supply, Wt:yerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma, Washington, will inaugurate a series of national magazine advertisements telling the story of tree farms and wood utiliza' tion. Starting with january issues, Weyerhaeuser's full-color page advertisements rvill appear monthly in the Saturday Evening Post, Farm Journal and U. S. News and World Report.

In order to get the reader "into the woods" logically and quickly, the advertisements picture the wildlife which abounds on the tree farms of the Pacific Northwest. Illustrators are Fre dludekens and Stan Galli, two of America's outstanding artists, both of whont have lived in the state of Washington and have an tappreciatioir of the area's forests and wildlife.

The forthcoming rational advertising campaign is, in real' ity, an extension of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's Pacific Northwest public intormation program. For several years the company has made use of newspaper and radio advertising to explain its operating policies to the people of the Paeific Northwest, particuhrly where Weyerhaeuser operations have a direct efiect on the economics of a community.

Walter J. Delone is the director of public information for Weyerhaeuser Tirn'ter Company. Mac Wilkins, Cole and Weber, which recently opened a Tacoma office, is the advertising agency.

Effective January first, the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company announced a number of personnel regroupings as a means of assuring the greatest efficiency today as well as tomorrow in the serving of its customers.

David H. Bartlett has been appointed executive assistant to R. S. Douglas, vice president and general manager.

He has been associated with Weyerhaeuser in a number of important ,capacities for 42 years, and for the past twelve years, Mr. Bartlett managed the Twin City Yard, which carries large lumber stocks for the servicing of retailers in the Midwest, on a wholesale basis exclusively.

The many retailers who know "Dave" and his qualifications, will be pleased to learn that his responsibilities have been extended to general executive capacities of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company management.

A. W. Clapp has been appointed executive assistant to C. J. Mulrooney, vice president in charge of sales. Mr. Clapp's background ideally suits him for his new executive responsibilities.

With seven years in the woods and mills, three years as district representative serving retail lumber dealers, ten years as assistant gene:al manager and vice president in charge of promotion of Allied Building Credits, Inc., (a former affiliate of Weyerhaeuser) and the last four. years in the merchandising department of the Sales Company as trade promotion manager, "Gus" conles prepared to ably assist in the practical direction of sales policies.

Arthur Lahey has been appointed manager of Product Lines, in the Merchandising Department, under T. L. O'Gara, vice president and merchandising manager. Lahel''s 2l years of production experience stems from the "stump" to the final uses of improved lumber p:oducts-from the University of Washington School of Forestry to fourteen years of Engineering at Longview, including pl1'wood as well as lumber.

For the last three years, "Art's " responsibilities have been that of special products distribution. \\rith his assignment to the Merchandising Department, his responsibilities have been broadened to include Product Lines, specification and product qualities, product identifications, loading and shipping practi'ces, and the development of neu' products and the improvement of others.

Looking for Active Year in 1952

In a year-encl statement, Eugene Holland, president of M1sonite Corpcration, predicted a profitable business tn 1952, rlcspite anticipated c-.rtbacks in building construction, for aggressive builcling niaterials dealers who will carry complete lines of stock, serv: established customers well and develop new markets.

"For those u'ho a:tively search out new markets, who do a good display and prcmotional job, it will be a good year," he saicl. "Even though hew home construction will probably be less than during the past few years, it will be high comparetl lvith pre-war standards. There are several other large markets that the retailer can sell if he cultivates them. lle can develop remodeling and reparr work for homes and stores; he can sell to farmers for new farm buildings and repair of old ones; to industry for the iml,rovement it continually makes.

As a lumber deaier myself, I know some of the problems of the trade. In the competitive months ahead, dealers should rrrake every effort to tnaintain complete stocks in all their lines' 'fherc is no profit in telling a customer you will order something for him when lte cau go to a competitor and get it righi away."

Importar.rce of giving good service to established cttstomers rvas crnphasized by \{r. Holland.

"C)ltl customers a-ie the 'bread and butter' of any business," he said. "At the sante time, the dealer must be wide-awake tcr tlre corollary n.rarkets in his area. By having complete stocks, using plannecl adve:tising and sales promotion and applying lcal salest.nanship, attrt building materials dealer can experience a profitable year."

Mr. Holland said he is looking for an active year for his conrpany thror,rghout 1952.
