It was Cardinal Newman who said: "Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but fear rather that it shall never have a beginning." ***

Chas. W. Eliot gave us a top definition of "personality." He says that "there is in a man an animating, ruling, characteristic, essence, or spirit, which is himself. This spirit, dull or bright, pretty or grand, pure or foul, looks out of the eyes, sounds in the voice, and appears in the manners of each individual. It is what w*e call personality."

Happiness in ihis world, when it comes, comes accidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. At least, that's what Nathaniel Hawthorne said about it. "Foliow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dre"Tt"t of it."

Benjamin Franklin, wise man that he was, guessed wrong about the future of wars, for he was of the opinion during his time that mankind may have become wise and sensible enough to get along without any future wars. He discoursed eloquently on the wonders that could have been wrought in this world with the money that had been up to that time wasted on war. "I hope," he said, "that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason enough to settle their clifferences without cutting throats." ***

"There is no plac'e," said George Ade, famous humorist, "where humor counts for more in a commercial way than in advertising. If you can only land your shot under a man's funny bone, you have done the deadly work and can interest him in whatever you have to offer. The necessity for saying things tersely and compact$r, as the advertising writer must always say them, is a cardinal point in the training of the humorist, and for this reason I believe that the writing of advertisements is one of the best courses of instruction through which the man ambitious to shine as a professional humorist, ? 1".:."

Which is the best horse to ride, genius or industry, is an age-old subject of man's debate. Julian Ralph discusses

that question vcry forcefully. He says: "I do not dcspise genius-indeed, I wish I bad a basketful of it instead of a brain, but yet, after a great deal of experience and observation, I have become convinced that industry is a better horsc to ride than genius. It may never carry one man as far as genius has carried individuds, but industry -patient, steady, intelligent industry-will carry ttousands into comfort and even into celebrig, and this it does with absolute certainty; whereas genius often refuscs to bc tamed and managed, and often goes witt wretched mords. If you are to wish for either, wish for industrSr."

Mark Twain once made an excellcnt argumcnt against circumstantial evidence. He said it should be receirred with great caution. "Take the case of any pencil sharpened by any woman," he said. "If you have witnesses you will find that she did it with a knife; but if you will take simply 'the aspect of the pencil, you will say she did it with her teeth'"

"He who helps a child," said Phillipa Brooks, "helps humanity with an immediateness which no otter hclp given to human creature in any other stage of human life can possibly give again."

"There is no more r";; .].,uorair,"t.," said tae hte Gifford Pinchot who was America's most famous forester, "than the man to whom you can give a piece of work and then forget it, in the confident expectation that the next time it is brought to your attention it wiU come in the form of a report that the thing has been done. When this selfreliant quality is joined to executive power, loyalty, and common sense, the result*i" *" T* whom you can trust."

It was the late humorist, Chauncey M. Depew, who was most eloquent on the subject of our schools. Hc once said: "The sheet-anchor of the Ship of State is the common school. Let no youth leave the school without being thoroughly grounded in the history, the principles, and the incdculable blessing of American libcrty. Let the boys bc the trained soldiers of constitutional freedom, and the girls the intelligent lovers of free men."

Oliver Goldsmith was philosopher as well as poct, as evidenced by the following extract from his worts: "To pursue trifes is the lot of humanity; and whether we bustle in a pantomime or strut at a coronation or shout at a bonfire or harangue in a senate house, it will at last conduct us to futility and disappointment. The wisc bustle and laugh as they walk in tle pageant, but fools bustle and

Ponderosa Pine Panel Door Design Competition

Los Angeles-A national architectural design con.rpetition for an interior panel door design, with 97600.00 in awards and possible purchase of designs suitable for mass production, has been announced by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, here.

Approved by the Committee on Architectural Cornpetitions of the American Institute of Architects, the competition closes with a mailing date of Monday, Apnl 27,1953. It bears the title "Ponderosa Pine Panel Door Design Competition."

The sponsor, an association of manufacturers of Ponderosa Pine panel doors, and other woodwork, is seeking a fresh approach in applying the principles of panel door construction to progressive design, it was stated by Robert H. Morris, general manager of the sponsoring organization.

"The purpose of the competition," he said, "is to obtain a design for an interior panel door which is suitable for mass production methods, and is consistent with current standards of architectural design."

There is a current trend among interior designers to exploit hitherto neglected decorating possibilities inherent in the Ponderosa Pine panel door, according to Mr. Morris.

"Designers are making effective use of panels," he said, "to develop color harmonies to integrate with virtuallv every type of interior. In many instances decorators are using colored, transparent wood stains, pointing up the natural texture and grain pattern of Ponderosa Pine to get a tonal accent for furnishings."

"This significant trend suggests that there may be further unexplored design possibilities in the panel door. Through this competition we hope that some new advance may be made and added to the many refinements in the panel door already contributed by generations of craftsmen-designers."

Of added interest, Morris points out, are the special school and student awards. Although students will be in open com-

Credit means the ability to borrow because the lender lsrows the loan will be paid. Moral credit is the best of all credit. Because of their moral credit rnany men of small means can obtain financial help easily, because they have proved that their word is good Moral credit means that it is a fact known to all those who know him ttrat he will do exactly what he says he will. The soundcat rnan on earth is the man who keeps his word no Eatter how difficult it may be to do so. Everyone has a good word for the man whose word is good, regardless of his financial rating. The man who pays his debts, lives up to his agreenents, lives within his means, does what he says he will do on the day he says he will do it<r bust-is the kind of man all employers are looking for, and all lenders want to do business with. There are all sorts of men who have been praised for all sorts of things, but first prize, the blue ribbon, honorable mention and likewise three cheers, go to the man who always keeps his word.

Western Pine Shipments

Portland, Jan. 5-The iollorving report oi 1952 production and shipments of \\:estern l'ine region lumber and lumber producrs and estimate of probable first quarter, 1953, shipments n'as released toda-v bv S. \r. Fullarvav, Jr., secretarvmanager. The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar I'ine and Associatrd \\'oods. The statement in full:

"f'r,:liminar-r' figures for 1952 shorv that. despite the many uncertirinties rr-hich prevailed during most of the year, the \\'estern l)ine industrv operated at high level. Lumber production. no\\' estimated at 6337 million feet. rras dorvn 5.8 per cent from the previous year rvhile shipments of (f53 million approximated closely those of 1951. As these ligures indicate, regional lumber stocks declined 16 million ieet during the vear.

"The total ph1'sical volume ot construction in 1952 u'as about the same as that of last I'ear but dollar volume rvas up 4 per cent. Non-farm ds'elling units started this year are expected to total 1.125.000 or 2to 3 per cent higher than in 1951. Cornmercial and amusement buildings, restricted bv N['^\ regulations, shou'ed a decline.

"Iloth private and government sources predict still another big year for residential construction. Such predictions shol' sonre r-ariations but all foresee at least one million starts.

"Based on such factors and all other available information, it no\\: seems probable that, during the first quarter of 1953. shipments (consumption) of lumber from the \\'estern Pine region rvill approximate 1400 million feet or about 2 per cent al>ove the same 1952 quarter.

"This volume oi shipments rvill exceed the normal seasonal relationship to the previous quarter. Horvever, several factors u'ould seem to justify such variation. The level of general business activity is up 6 per cent from a year :rg(). Ilousing starts during October and \ovember exceeded those of the same l95l months by l0 to 15 per cent and construction of a million residential units is anticipated for 1953. Lunrber stocks at retail yards are reported slightlv belou' last vear. Also, there is definite optimism as to general business corrditions for the immediate future."

J. P. Weycrh aeuser, Jr. Speaker at Portland Junior Chamber o[ Commcrce Banquet

Portland, Ore., Jan. l7-I .P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of Weyerhaeuser Timber company, declared tonight that the nation must ensure its economic freedoms to maintain its political freedoms.

Economic and political freedoms, he said, are "inseparable."

Weyerhaeuser made these comments in addressing the annual anniversary banquet of the Portland |unior Chamber of 'Commerce.

"It is to the self-interest of every American that free enterprise and the free market remain free," he said. "The freedom of the business organization and the freedor.n of the individual are one and the same."

Economic freedoms cannot be regulated unreasonably, he added, without loss of political rights and privileges.

"Today," Weyerhaeuser continued, "these tlvo freedoms are so dependent upon one another that economics is politics and politics is economics. Certainly. the weak must not be exploited; minorities should be represented and protected. But, our efforts should be toward maintaining the free tnarket, which is the result of these freedoms and u'hich is indispensable to their continuance ."

The timber company president pointed out that the essence of free enterprise is competition'

"And, we in the forest products business knou' sor.nething about competition," he said. "There are more than 53,000 sawmills operating in the nation today. They cornpete to sell their production to about 6,000 rvholesalers, lvl-ro in turn are selling to approximately 26,000 retail lumber dealers' . Our company also is in daily competition u'ith nearly 250 pulp rnills and more than 650 veneer and plyr'r'ood mills. ."

In all industries, Weyerhaeuser declared, competition is keenest in finding and keeping customers, "the true bosses oi American business." The forest products industry has conrpeted for and found new customers who are buying pulp for rayon, cellophane, and smokeless powder. Through research, the industry has found competitive markets for sarvmill leftovers.

"Formerly wasted bark is norv used in plastics, adhesives, insecticides, and paperboard stiffeners," he said-

"Whole-wood fibers are finding new uses and nerv customers in the field of hardboard, home and industrial insulation, and

oil-r,r'ell drilling. Researchers, r,l'ho are today's major explorers, have developed many nerv and better forest products. Sometimes rve lose competitive markets to substitute materials. But, rve regain some rvith new' techniqus5-manufacturing wide boards from narros- ones and long pieces from short ones through improved gluing processes. The use of glued-up arches for churches and other buildings has been spectacuIar...."

\\'eyerhaeuser enrphasized that there has been no lack of progress in the forest products industry.

"Both in forestry practices and manufacturing, our industn. has competed vigorously in the free market and has brought benefits to the employee, the customer, the investor aud the public," he said.

Referring brieflv to the nerv federal administration, he expressed hope that it could spearhead a "nen' era in political and econornic history which can bring peace to the rvorld." He said the neu' administration seems ready to attempt a reasonable program for this country and the most distressed people abroad.

"\\'hile u-e have been told not to expect panaceas," he remarked, "I believe that rve can insist upon a 'straight deal' to benefit as nranv people as possible, rvhile penalizing as few as possible."

Weyerhaeuser *'arned that big govenrment rrreans heavy taxes and a large tax load on corporations. Excessive taxes, he said, dry up sources of venture capital and stitle business expansion.

"Not only for the interest of the investor, but for the interest of the ernplovee, the custorner, and the general public, it is essential that taxes be levied in a rrav rvhich rvill protect our competitive enterprise system and stimulate the creation of new businesses," he declared. "It takes mone-v and faith for a company to plan for the future."

In conclusion, Weyerhaeuser said work, understanding, and faith are needed to keep our economic and political life free.

"\\'e must compete; \r'e must produce," he asserted. "We nrust increase the benefits from our system. Free men can operate. free enterprise w'ith free minds and extend our system-a working symbol for those peoples elservhere rvho have traded freedom for security."

Philip T. Farnsworth Named General Construction Activity in 1952 Manager of California Redwood Assn.

A record volume of $32.3 billion rvas spent for new construction in 1952, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division of the U. S. Department of Commerce. Nes' private construction put in place was valued at 921.8 billion, slightly more than in 1951, while public expenditures for new construction reached $10.5 billion, up $l % billion from 1951.

The major part of the 5-per cent increase from 1951 in total dollar outlal's occurred during the last half of the vear. Largely responsible for tl,is rvas the unusually high volume of private dwellings begun in the fall of 1952.

Although dollar outlays for new construction reached a nen' high in 1952, physical volume u'as down somervhat both from 1951 and from the l95O record level. The additional dollars spent in l95l and 1952 reflect mainly increases in construction costs

San Francisco, January 8, 1953-Philip T. Famsrvorth has been named general manager of the California Redwood Association to succeed Sherman A. Bishop who has resigned to accept a position of vice president in charge of sales for Union Lumber Company.

This position of general manager is a step up for Mr. Farnsworth, who for a number of years has been director of the Promotion Division of the California RedwoodAssociation.

In making the announcement Earl Birmingham, president of the Association, added the following details.

"This appointment of Philip T. Farnsworth as general manager of the Association will have two advantages. It is recognition of the fine services he has rendered over the course of years to our organization, and also establishes what the directors consider a wise policy of promoting staff rnembers to this position rather than bringing in an outsider.

"The Promotion Division of the California Redwood Association has done a splendid job under lIr. Farnsrvorth's direction, but he has also kept in close touch s'ith the other Divisions, and this means that the program r.r'hich has developed over the years will not be disturbed, but rvill be carried on under the present staff for the corning year.

"The California Redwood Association is one of the progressive trade organizations of the timber in<lustrl'. as it interests itself in the tree as much as it cloes in the processed products of the forest."

The nelv general manager l-ras his Bachelor's and lfaster's degrees from the University of California. He became ? rl€rn: ber of the stafi of the California Redrvood Association in 1934, and later was attached to an advertising agency in San Francisco. During \\rorld War II he attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander on the staff of Admiral Nimitz. He inaugurated the first direct news and radio transmission from a fleet in action to the mainland under Admiral Halsey.

After the war Mr. Farnsworth became the head of the San

\\'hile private construction expenditures for 1952 remained virtuallv at the level established in 1951, there rvere some internal shifts in this segment of the industrv. Important declines rvere noted in expenditures for stores, restaurants, and garagt:s. These dec!ines rvere offset, horvever, b1' substantial increases in public utility projects and in industrial building.

Private residential building continued to play an important role in the industry. It accounted for approximatelv one-half of total private construction expenditures and exceeded total expenditures for all public construction activit)' in 1952.

Public construction expenditures increased nearlv l5 per cent over the 1951 level. Increases rvere recorded in practicall-v ever-r' major segment, but rvere particularly notable for militar-v and naval facilities. highrvays, and industrial construction.

Public expenditures for industrial construction, rvhich included the atomic energy plants, registered a greater dollar increase over the year than did any other segment of the entire coristruction industry.

Emsco Plywood

Patrick had to give up old accounts and connections in Los Angeles.

He "broke the ice" b1' some good hard selling to the trade. u'hile Horvard Porvell, now assistant manager, took care of the office, even handling the lift truck as stll as the order desk. For about a year it was a two-man operation. Soon the business began to grow, and the force rvas increased. Young men Nere engaged. Walley Conrad rvas one of the first salesmen covering the East Bay, and recently Chuck Ramey rvas taken on to contact the San Francisco area and the Peninsula. Salesmanship has been the ans\\'er to their progress.

Emsco Plyu'ood are rrholesale distributors of plyrvood and doors. Their inventorv is continually expanding to include complete stocks of decorative panels, hardrrood plvrvood, Fir and Pine plyrvood, Hardboard, and all types of house doors. The line of decorative panels includes E,tch-rvood, Etch-\\fall, Sketch-\\'ood and Parq-Wall. In the East Bay it has the exclusive distribution of Redrvood Shadorvood. In the hardboard department. thev specialize in Finmex Hardboard. imported from Finland along rvith a stock of domestic and imported hardrvoods. -\lso carried in stock are Douglas Fir panel doors, detailed front doors in colonial designs. standard interior doors and a complete line of softrvood and hards'ood flush doors, both hollorv and solid core.

\\/hen a firm starts from scratch, and inside of trvo years establishes a business rvith nine employees, and keeps on adding more lines and increasing its territory, it is something more than being u'ell financed or picking the right industry. There is usually a strong individual behind it.

It could be said that Robert W. (Bob) Patrick, manager of Emsco Plyrvood, Oakland, literally flerr, into the lumber business. He rvas a pilot in the Air Corps during the last Worlrl War, became a captain rvitl.r a record of 122 trips over the Hump. After the lvar he \\'as a pilot for \\testern Air Lines, then rvent to work for Coastair Division of North American Aviation Inc. of Los Angeles, selling airplanes.

Bob Sand of the Sand Door and Plyrvood Co. rvas also an enthusiast for flying, and Bob Patrick sold him a plane. Next Bob Sand sold him on going to rvork for his company. but he had also sold a plane to J. E. Smith of the Emsco Group, Los Angeles. He later interested I\fr. Smith on the idea of opening a plywood business in Oakland.

Another interesting thing about the establishment of Emsco Ply'ivood in Oakland in September of 1950 rvas the reason for choosing the location. Los Angeles u'as the point from which everything originated. Back in 1950 the demand for Plywood was very heavy, and it rvas hard to obtain. There \vas a railroad car shortage rvhich added to the difficulties, and trucks were used to bring it in from the mills in Oregon. Mr. Patrick flerv the Emsco plane and in three hours r,r'as in Oregon. This manner of travel created interest and gave him an entree to the mills.

Oakland was nearer by 425 miles to the mills, and customers could be served better. It lvas therefore decided to establish Emsco Plyrvood in Oakland, even though I\Ir.

Emsco Plywood is featuring something nerv in the Riviera Combination door. It is a product built to Emsco specifications and conceived b1' Bob Patrick. The door is made in Oakland and the sash unit and screen come from Los Angeles, the completed product being assembled b1- Emsco. Trvo designs are offered: the flush type door. manufactured in Douglas Fir. I\{ahoganv or Birch; and the panel t1'pe door in Douglas Fir. The Riviera, according to Bob. fits tl.re need for a modern combination door in all stvles. and the trade is taking to it rvith great interest.

Mortgage Advance Plan

The National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has urged the members of its Federated Associations to take full advantage of the Mortgage Advance (Open-End Mortgage) I'lan for helping customers finance l-rome repair and modernization jobs at a lon' monthly outlal'.

In a pamphlet recently issued. NRLDA points out that the Mortgage Advance Plan has gained nerr. importance follou'ing the offer of several title companies to insure titles at a moderate cost and rvith little delal' u-hen advances are made. Previousll'. the high cost of ol>taining title insurance follou'ing an advance had made the plan too expensive to use in many cases.

Under the plan, home modernization jobs can be financed by increasing the unpaid principal amount of an existing mortgage, provided the holder of the mortgage is s'illing to make the advance.

Since the cost of the job then can be paid for or.er the remaining life of the mortgage at the rate of interest specified in the mortgage, the monthlv payment often is considerably lou'er than can be arranged otheru'ise.

The retail lumber dealer will benefit from the use of this plan because the customer u'ill be more likelv to go ahead v,'ith a sizeable modernization job s'hen he finds the monthly pavments are to be so moderate.

The purpose of the folder is to give the indir-idual dealer the inforn.ration needed to go to his local lending institution to find out u'hether they are u,illing to make nrortgage advances to horne o\\rners rvhose mortgages the;" hold.

NRI.DA estimates that the volume of home modernization and repair rvork could be.doubled if everyone concerned lgas familiar r.vith the plan.

Deliveries are made to all parts of the East Bay. Peninsula and San Francisco u'ith promptness and dispatch. Tu'o planes are ahval's standing bv. one in Oakland and the other in Los Angeles. read_v for I\Ir. Patrick or Emscok NIr. Smith. The aviation age seems to have set the pace of Emsco Ply*'ood.

Increasing Population Helps Business An Editorial

Before Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder stepped out to make room for the new administration, he gave out an interview published in many newspapers that made a lot of sense.

For example he said that one sound reason for expecting a condition of prosperity to continue in this country, is the tremendous and continuous increase in population. He said that about two and one-half million people are added to the American population every year, which is equivalent to adding every year a state about the size of Iowa. This means that an additional two and one-half million people must be housed, clothed, furnished, transported, and otherwise provided for every year, a great incentive to the productivity of the nation.

To the lumber and building industries this is something

big and definite to figure on. It means a lot of houses, garages, furniture, etc., in short, lots of additional lumber and other building materials.

Mr. Snyder made these points to prove his contention that a state of business prosperity for the next year or more, need not depend solidly on defense production. He said that since V-J Day about $170,000,000,000 of private capital has been invested in new plants and equipment, all of which are contributing to the present high business tides. He said that we now have 63,000,000 people gainfully employed, who are being paid at the rate of about $275,000,000,000 annually, and that we have a gross national production valued at about $345,000,000,000.

Mr. Snyder's goodbye interview was an optimistic one, containing good stuff to mull over.

Eisenhower-Nixon Inaugural Match Books Truman Tax[Load for L. A. tr 2.5 Billion

Springfield, Mass., January l6-Match books for the inauguration of President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon in Washington on Tuesday are likely to become a collector's item-unless too many people read this.

Provided with the compliments of The Diamond Matclr Company, a total of 12,500 match books will be distributed.

The match books are in gold and black on a white background. Two panels on the front cover show the smiling faces of the nation's two nerv top leaders, framed in gold. The reverse side shows the Seal of the United States, offers the compliments of the Presidential Electors, and gives the date of the inauguration.

Inside the cover are imprinted the names of the new president and vice president, and of the chairman of the Electoral College.

The million hobbyists who collect match books, although concentrating for the most part on the quarter-million commercial advertisers which utilize the 12.5 billion match books produced annually in the nation, place high valuation on rare political or ceremonial match books. They pay $11 for the match books distributed at the Truman-Barkley inaugural in 1949, and $100 for the two known copies of a match book given out when Lindbergh returned from his epic flight.

Plates for the printing of the Eisenhower-Nixon Inaugural match books have been destroyed to assure continued high valuation.

Harrv Truman's 1953-5+ budget, presented to Congress last u'eek, involves a Los Angeles county tax burden of $525 per person-an increase of $177 over last 1'ear, President Roy M. Hagen declared this rveek.

"The federal tax load per person in Los ^\ngeles County u.as $278 in the l95G5l fiscal y.'ar and n'as onll- $17 for the l91O-41 year," Hagen said.

"NIr. Truman's proposal represents a federal tax load about three times the size of the total burden of all state and local taxes imposed in Los Angeles countv."

Truman proposed expenditures of $78.600.000,000 as opposed to taxes of $68,700,000.000-s'hich calls ior deficit financing.

The Truman budget suggests expenditures of $6.9-10,00,000 in California and taxes of $6.066,000.(D0. rvhile Los Angeles countv is earmarked for $2,845.000.000 in expenditures and tax levies of $2,487,000,000.

"It is interesting," Hagen added, "to compare these figures u'ith some others. For instance, total value of farm products of I-os -A,ngeles Countv in 1951 rvas $243.000.000 and, until recentlv. Los Angeles rvas the countrl''s top agricultural county.

"In other u'ords, ii everv cent of our farm products dollars rvere put torvard paying the Truman tax levv on the local area it rvould amount to less than one-tenth of our total assessment.

Specification Red Cedar Shim Pack

Introduced bv Fisk a Mason

A "tailor made" pack of Red Cedar Shim stock has recently been introduced by Fisk & Mason, of South Pasadena & Gardena, manufacturing distributors of Red Cedar products.

Hugh Mason, one of the founders and president of this nationally recognized concern, is generallv known for his alertness as to the needs of the building trades. Cbservation illustrated the man hours lost to the general contractor by the carpenter trying to find the proper width and length shim among the accumulated debris to complete the installation of a door or window. Not only the time lost but the haphazard quality used, often results in inferior workmanship and finish. This

obvious need brought about the cooperation of a general contractor u'ith years of actual building experience and the Cedarn Manufacturing Co. Fisk & llason has introduced to the trade an attractive bundle of red cedar shim consisting of. l2O pieces lf" wide & 15" long, which u'ill properly shim the average house of approximately tw'enty openings. Each bundle is labeled, giving the necessary information as to the products use. The trade has reported most favorably on its use, as a time saver. Lumber yards who have added this tailor made shim product, are meeting with excellent results as a iasg moving and profitable building aid.

Two Organizations Honor Farbct, Teco Ch:ef Chemist

\\Iashington-Eduard Farber, chief chemist of the Timber Engineering Companv research laboratcry, has L.een elected a Fellorv of the Royal Society of Arts and an honorarv member of the Mark Trvain Society, in recognition of his literary and scientific achievements. The honors followed publication. the past fall, of Dr. Farber's nerv book, "The Evolution of Chemistry."

Dr. Farber is an eminent chemist of international reputation and a prolific rvriter. His current book climaxes meny years of author-sirip and innumerable papers in the field of chemistry, particularly on subjects of rvood and its derivatives.

"The Evolution of Chemistrl"' emphasizes the role of that science in civilization's grorvth, its impact on induslrial progress, and its contributions to scientific achievements. The author tells his story in an interesting manner by letting old recorcis relate rvhat actually took place. This was accomplished b-v Dr. Farber's objective selection of rnaterial in early books and periodicals, not readily accessible, and from professional pape's, lectures and letters of great chemists.

Cc,mmenting on "The Evolutio;r of Chemistr-y." Dr. Farber stated, "The aim has been to provide a deeper and ftrller understanding of the ideas and methods of the science by integrating the evoluticn of chernistrv rvith the onmarch of history iu general. The searching and experimentation of tire past are so described that they may rvell provide both stimul:tion and special exa:nples for solv,ng present-day problems."

The 350-page book, u'ell illustrated, is published by the Ronald Press Companl', lierv York City.

\\'ashington-Cumulative nail resistance is a key factor minimizing expansion in hard maple floors, according to Gerald F. Prange, technologist of the Timber Engineering Company research laboratory. Tlris point was made by trtr. Prange in his address before the joint meeting of the \\'ood Industries

I)ivision of the American Society of Mechanical Iingineers and the Northeastern Section of the Forcst l'roducts Research Society, December 4, in Nerv York City.

Flooring tests, conducted at the Teco laboratory for the llaple Flooring \Ianufacturers Association, shou'e<l tl'rat the degree of expansion in hard maple floors is affected by the u'idth of flooring strips. Considerably more expansion occurred in test panels oi 3t/a inch strips than in the narrower ones, llr. I'range reported. He explained that narrower strips perrnit more nails and thus have the advantage of greater cumulative resistance to pressure create<l b1' the flooring s'hen it attempts to expand.

-\nother factor revealed by the tests is fiber compression at the joints, caused b1'expansion pressure. Again. narro\tr'er strips showed less expansion, this tirrre <lue to the greater number of joints to take up or absorb the pressure.

In studying causes of buckling, \'Ir. Prange reprlrtcrl evidence that conventional tongue-and-groove tiesign. rvith its snrall contact area, tends to cause a cumulation of stresses, near the surface of the flooring, u'hich ma.v result in buckling. He pointed out that a slight modification in design, providing more contact area, was tested and found superior in resistance to bucHing.

Calilornia Lumber Production

Exceeded All Previous Records in 1951

Berkeley, California, Jan.7-Lumber production of nearly 5 billion board feet in 1951 set a new record for California and Nevada, Stephen N. Wyckoff, Director of the California Forest and Range Experiment Station, LI. S. Forest Service announced today. California sawmills cut 99.5 per cent of the total, or 4.8 billion board feet.

The 1951 cut is 14 per cent greater than production in 1950, the previous high year. Also, the record cut of 1951 is almost double the production of 1946, only five years earlier.

Preliminary lumber production statistics reported by Director Wyckoff are in Forest Survey Release No. 17, "I-umber Production in California and Nevada, l95l." This report was compiled from a survey conducted jointly by the Bureau of the Census of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The Census Bureau rvill issue the final statistics.

The redwood counties, rvith 392 sarvmills, accounted for 42 per cent of total production and the remaining counties, with 409 sarvmills, produced the other 58 per cent. The 801

Openr \(/estern Distr:ct Office ln San Francisco

The Wood Conversion Company, St. Paul, Minnesota, a Weyerhaeuser affiliate, has opened a rrew sales office in San Francisco to better serve the western states, according to M. S. Wolf, general sales manager.

J. 1{. Godley, Sr..Western District lfanager, heads the new office located in the Monadnock Building.

The decision to serve the West irom San Francisco follorvs expansit.rn of the Company's Western territorv sales organization in recenr years, according to Mr. \\rolf . In turn the companv's building and industrial products' sales have kept pace with the area's grorvth. Westrvard population shifts and the increase of new industries since \\rorld War II have created markets prompting the location of the nerv office in San Francisco to serve this area better.

The Wood Conversion Company's family of soft insulation and board products have been on the market over 30 years. Adapting itself easily to the wide range of climatic conditions is Balsam-Wool insulation which performs the dual function of keeping homes warmer in winter months and cooler in the warm weather.

The Vcgrcrnt

I will leave the dust of the City street, And the ncise of the busy town, For the windy moor and the high hill And the peat-stream flowing down. I will keep my watch by the camPfires, Where the white cliffs lean to the sea, And dawn shall wake me with golden hands And the rain shall walk with me.

I will seek the places where gypsies roam' And strange, wild songs are sung. I will find once more the magic Paths I knew when the world was Young. And the stars will give me comradeship, And the -*'ind will be my friend, And I will send you the fairY gold That lies at the rainbow's end.

Stretch not your hands, nor bid me stay, I hear the white road's call; The sun hath kissed the buds from sleep. And I am one with them all. But I will send you a golden cloak, And a pair of silver shoon, And a d.':eam that the fairies spin from stars On the other side of the moon.

-Pauline Slender.

Achievement

"'We learn all sorts of interesting and strange adventures of individuals and races. But out of it all does there not arise a vision of human achievement-heroic actions, inspired thcughts, designs of beauty, and slow unraveling of nature's secrets? Take what view you will of the past or the future direction of the human race, this heaped-up treasure, this non-material wealth albne speaks eloquently to me of what is man, and strengthens my belief in the significance of his future."-Dr.

James B- Conant.

His Recson

A boy was about to purchase a seat lor a movie in the afternoon. The box office man asked: "Why aren't you at school?" "Oh, it's all right, sir," said the youngster earnestly, "I've got measles."

Illusion

Before I went to Ireland Her charm had captured me Till every wind-swept rnossy hill, River and lake and tree, Outgrowing each vague dream of mine Had seemed redity.

Remembering now that lovely land Of blossomy road and lane, Stone cottages with russet thatch And foxgloves h the rain, Reality is an afterglow Yt/herein I dream again.

Simple Iogrucae

A precocious 6ve-year-old son of a professor asked his father what the exact meaning was of the verse beginning, "Jack Spratt could eat no fat."

"fn simple terms," said the professor, "it mcans that Jack Spratt could assimilate no adipose tissue. His wile, on the contrary, possessed an aversion for the rDore mug. cular portions of the epithelium. And so, between tlreo both, you see, they removed or did away with all the foreign substances from the surface of the utilitarian utensil, commonly called a platter. Does that make it clear, my son?"

"Perfectly clear," ejaculated tte son. "The lack of lucidity in these dleged Mother Goose rhymes is amazingly apparent to one with an intellect above the moronic grade."

Out of the \(/oods

By Jim Stevens

Trees in Motion

The work of a man at grips with a single body of life hundreds of times his own bulk and weight-logging the wilderness tree of the Pacific Northwest-has always been a challenge to human courage, fortitude and ingenuity. The felling of the standing tree was for centuries the hardest labor on earth.

protection roads and mechanized forestry practices. Timber machines and mechanics had to grow in the woods together, with scientific management planning and technical design preceding every phase of the evolution.

Big Wheel and Logging Arch

In each case, as woodsman's labor. tree into movable water would bring

the As tree fell, high hazard struck into the the work went on, the making of the logs and the transportation on land and up new problems of polver and safety at every turn.

A hundred years ago the logger of Puget Souncl and the Columbia and Willamette Rivers had basically the same problen.rs that were tackled by Ug and Ag with their stone axes and by Solomon's tree choppers with axes of bronze in the cedars of Lebanon.

Power in the Timbtr . .

The first logging locomotives 11s1s 51n2ll-"dinkies," in pioneer parlance-and the trucks of the steam cars were so light that only flat loads of the weighty Douglas firs rvere hauled. Within 20 years the techniques of railroad logging had brought forth a track-supported skidder lr'hich weighed more than 300 tons and car trucks that rvould u'heel a pyramid of logs safely to the sawmill booms.

There were 340 individual logging railroads in the \\'estern states in 1931, with 7,200 miles of track. The por,r'erful geared locomotive, with logging engineering techniques that devised amazing systems of switchbacks, torvering trestles-one \ras 1,100 feet long, 235 feet high-and cableu'ay inclines down the sides of timbered mountains, accomplishecl near-miracles in moving the merchantable parts of giant trees frorn stulnp to storage boom.

Railroad logging required enormous investment for everl' installation. It brought mechanics to the woods, its logging engineers were the forerunners of today's forest engineers, and out of it came the modern system of power saws for felling trees, the tractor hauls, the logging-truck highways,

In the more open forests and with the smaller trees of the $estern pines-still called "the short log country" by loggersteams of two horses, each team hitched to a pair of u'heels, rvere used from the first to move trees from forest to sawrnill. The big wheels, l0 or 12 feet in diameter, two in a set, with strong axle and long tongue, were in common use in the u'estern pines up to the 1920s. A set $'as hauled by trro or four horses, with the two r*'heels straddling the log load. The big wheels of the pineries harlied back to the chariot. Thev, in turn, fathered the logging arch and rubber-tired logging cart, of today, in universal use for skidding logs by tractors.

Drives and Flumes . .

The canyon rivers in the pine region of the Pacific NorthNest u'ere mainly too rough and rockl' for log driving, but on such streams as the Priest Rirer and the Cleanvater in Northern Idaho there s'ere annual log drives until recerrt years. Nou' at last the logging truck has triumphed over tradition in these areas as it did over the logging railroads.

There were famous flumes that kept trees in motion by torrents of water in both the pine and fir regions in the old days, usually shooting the logs out from the flume's mouth and over a cliff into the booms. Other great flume s;-stems transported lumber frorn sarvmill to railroad. Thel' are about all gone.

Engrine ond Crew Wasbed into Eel River

The rains and floods u'hich have been ravaging the northern end of the State. and rvhich carried an engine rvith its crerv into the Eel River along the Scotia Bluff, just two miles north of Scotia, have done no damage to an)' of the properties of The Pacific Lumber Companl', according to Jim Farley. Ry the time the u'aters reached the vicinit-v of Scotia their force l-rad been spent. The companv's outlet on the railroad $'as not cut off, but north of the slide lumber could be shipped out only by truck.

Compulsory Tree Plcntingr

R. E. Sommers. trIinister of Larrds and Foreits for the territory. has indicated recentlv that reforestation of logged areas bv o\\'ners of private timber lands ma_r' be required in British Columbia in the near future.

Students Should Be Encouraged To Submit Papers lor 1953 "\(/ood Award"

Because of the acute over-all employment picture in the United States and the fact that the forest products industries are rapidly emerging from a non-technical to a technical status, there is an acute shortage of technically trained men available. In all likelihood this shortage rvill grorv worse unless the u'ood industry makes strenuous efforts to channei more students into u'ood technologl' courses in the universities.

The industry has long recognized that it must do a l)etter public relations rvith prospective universitl students in order to interest them in a career in n'ood technology. -\s C. D. Dosker, far-sighted president of Gamble Bros., Inc., Louisville, K1.,, put; it, "\\rood is now a highlv competitive material. Is four )'ears enough to train a man for this industry? The graduate should knou' the tools of the industry I and har-e kr.rorr'ledge of the chernistrv of u'ood and horv it grol's." E. S. Harrar, Head of the Forestry Graduate School, Duke University, in his paper entitled "Graduate Training in Forest Products Technologv," emphasizes the need for expansion and improvement in the technologist's training to prepare him for his ultimate emplovment. He also points out the serious lack of industrv sponsored fellos'ships on a scale common in other industries.

One step in the much needed program of interesting undergraduates and graduate students in the forest products industries has been the establishment of the "Wood Arvard." rvhich is conducted by the Forest Products Research Societ_r'.

Each vear the Vance Publishing Corp., Chicago, ofters $500.00 to be au'arded to the student submitting the most signi{icant contribution to the industry.

The 1953 as'ard 's'ill again be made in conjunction rvith the Forest Products Research Society's Eighth Annual Meeting at I\femphis, Tenn., June 15-16-17. This year the arvard has been modified to include both graduate and undergraduate student rvinners. The outstanding graduate paper u'ill receive $350, rvhile the outstanding undergraduate paper n'ill receive $150.

\\rinners u'ill be encouraged to present their papers before the National Meeting.

Subjects mav be of any choosing rvhich makes a fundamental or practical contribution to the forest products in-

<iustry. Papers mav drvell on research, development. production, utilization or marketing. They should be based on research work completed subsequent to IIay I, 1952.

All entries should be submitted through the Executive Offices of the Forest Products Research Societv, Box 2010, Madison 5, \\ris., for consideration by the Society's Education Committee, headed by Professor Robert \\-ellrvood of the University of British Columbia.

Past "\\'ood -A.u'ard" ..vinners who have alreadv made a name for themselves in the rvood industry field include such men as Nicholas V. Poletika, research specialist on adhesives s'ith the Timber Engineering Co.., \\'ashington. D. C., and S. B. Preston, currentlv on the staff of the School of Natural Resources of the University of trIichigan.

It is hoped that t'ood industr.v executives evervrvhere rvill encourag'e student acquaintances to submit papers in competition for the 1953 "\\'ood As'ard." Additional information mav be obtained through the Executive Office of F. P. R. S.. Box 2010. lladison 5. \\'is.

Research O|fers Solution To Many Lumber Problems

Washington-A lO-point program of research for imrnediate relief of some of the lumber industry's more pressing problems is outlined in "Advancements in Wood Research and Timber Engineering," a new 32-page booklet published by Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lurnber Manu f acturers Association.

"The principal unsolved problem facing the lumber industry is not one of raw materials nor production capacity," states the publication. "N,Iodern forestry has dernonstrated its ability to grow timber, and the sawmills are geared to produce 40 billion or more feet of lumber annually.

"The problem is in reversing the downward cttrve of lurnber consumption that has been dropping steadily for 45 years. In 1907, with a population of 92 million, the per capita consumption was 500 board feet. Today, the per capita is down to 249 feet, with a population of 154 million. In other words, 46 per cent more people are using 17 per cent less lumber."

Pointing out that "products of aluminum, steel, plastics, glass, ceramics ancl a host of new metals are being introduced at a tremendous rate," and that "their principal markets are those long held by lumber," the Teco booklet then declares:

"Lumber's retention of a reasonable share of present markets and a greater portion of new markets will depend, to a large extent, on technical developments in the wood products industries in the next few years."

Projects in the proposed lO-point program fall in three fields of research: Utilization of residues from lumbering, sawrnilling and product manufacturing; product developrnent of lumber items; and increased efficiency all along the line from the woods to the finished product.

"This booklet," states Harry G. Uhl, president of Tinrber Engineering Company, "is one of the most comprehensive ever issued by Teco on its overall operations in wood research, timber engineering and timber connector sales. In it we have detailed Teco's history, objectives, policies and the w'ide variety of projects conducted in the interest of increased use of lumber and wood products.

"In addition to citing a few of the benefits that have corne to the wood industries as a result of research conducted at the Teco Laboratory," Mr. Uhl continued, "we are suggesting a

lO-point research program that includes the barest necessities for immediate relief of just some of the lumber industry's problems."

The booklet, profusely illustrated, is being distributed t<r the lumber and rvood using industries and to the building professions throughout the nation. A copy may be obtained, u'ithout charge, on request to Timber Engineering Company, l3l9-l8th Street, N.\\'., \\'ashington 6, D.C.

Appointed Assirtant Chief of Range Management for California Rcgion

Regional Forester Clare Hendee has announced the prom<-rtion and transfer of George L. Burnett, former Grazing Staff Officer of the }Iodoc \ational Forest, to the position of Assistant Chief of Range \Ianagement for the Caliiornia Region of the Forest Service.

IIr. llurnett's experience during the past 19 ,vears of s'ork for the F-orest Service has been predominantly concerned rl'ith range administration and rvildlife actirities ir.r three of the \\'estern Regions. His broad knorvledge of western range conditions gained from on-the-ground experience l'ith ranges, stock, and stockmen, fits him particularll' rvell for the nes' post.

IIr. Burnett first rvorked for the Forest Service on seasonal jobs as Lookout and Lookout-Fireman s'hile attending Oregon State College from l93l to 1933. After graduating. he received a formal appointrnent and rvorked on range surve-vs, and on range improvements in \\';-oming, Colorado and South Dakota- In 1935 he rvas promoted to District Ranger and served in this capacitl' on two different Districts on the Gunnison National Forest in Colorado, until 1943. The follorving t'rvo vears he rvas District Ranger on the San Juan National Forest on one of the largest grazing districts in the Inter-trfountain Region.

In 1945 he transferred to the California Region and served as Resource Staff Officer of the Trinit-v National Forest until l9+7. He then transferred to the llodoc National Forest as Grazing and \\'ildlife Staff Officer. He continued in this capacit,r' until the present. Substantial gains and improvements in range conditions on the Modoc reflect his untiring efforts and leadership.

Mr. and \Irs. Burnett and their three children have selected Alban-'- as their residence in the Bav Area.

More Aid Needed :n Flght on Oak tVilt 1952 Housing Starts Total 1,1311300

At the annttal ;ueeting of the National Oak Floorirlg Manuia-ctrtrers' Association held Deceml>er 4-5 in trIem1rhis, the board of tlirectors appropriated tlie sunr of $15.0()0 from the gloup's it'eirsury to provide funcls for reseitrch cn the cerlses and elimination of the Oak \\-ilt diseasc. The fight cn this deadly disease has been spearheaded throuqh th: National Oak \\/ilt Research Committee. Sterick Building, \Iemphis, and the need for concerted action bv lumbermen is vital. Much has lteen learned about the disease but a great deal remains to be discovered if ihe onslarrght is lr, be stemmed.

The areas over u'hich Oak \\Iilt has spread have been nrore clear'l rj clefine,l lrv aerial stlrveys. timl>er cruises. frotn rel)orts of occuricnces recognized as the result of the Committee's distribution of descriptive literature on tl.re clisease, ancl by other means. Among other things. it rva; forrnd that the fu;rsus appeared in mat-lil<e grou'ths unrie: the bark of the lilected trees. cracking 1nd loosening the bark to prc,r.ide :iccess for birds, insects rrr other possibie carriers to take i: to unaffected trees. It has been riiscovered that the lungus causes t1'loses to forrn in the tree's vessels, sh:rtting off circulation n'ith fatal effects. Further informatior.r on tl-re u'ay the disease moves to immediatelv adjacei.t trees of the same or related specics through rooi, gra[ts has been cleveloped.

NIore effecti'r.e neans of isolating occurrences through the use of poisons and mechanical means are no\\' knorvn as a result of the studies. The u'ay that the disease is spread ovel distr.nces is not vet known. but studies involving hundreds of specimens of suspected carriers are underrvav. One ilrstitution is studying the longevity of the Oak \\rilt fungus in material cut from infected trees. Thus far the evirlence indicates that the fungus does not destroy the u'ood or affect its strength rrrd also indicates that the fungus is short lived in such material and thet there is little likciihood of the spread of the Oak \\:ilt fungus by the lumber industry.

The situation is by no means hopeless. The research program has alrea.dy produced much valuable information ancl there is reason to hope that satisfactorv ansrvers tc) the problern t,ill be developed. The program n'as originally designed to co\/er a minimum periotl of 3 vears u'ith a possible extensicn. In l95l the Committee made grants totaling $37,000 and the 1952 expendituies u'ill be over $54,000. \\'hile nruch has been accomplished through the research program, u'e have a difficult oroblem and mucir remains to be done trefore it can be solved. \\/holehearted cooperation on the part of all concerned is essential.

-National H:Lrds'ood Nervs..

The largest pest control program the rvorld has ever knot'n is the spraying of 670,000 acres of I)ouglas fir forests irr Oregon and Washington to l:ill spruce budu'orm.

Construction of nerv farm buildings and maintenance and repair of old ones consumes o\-er four million board feet of lumber per year.

A total of I.131,300 ne\\' permanent nonfarm drrelling units rvere started during 1952, of rvhich l'074,300 rvere privatelv os'ned. according to preliminar)- estimates of the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau oi Labor Statistics. This marks the fourth consecutive vear that housing starts nationallv have exceeded the million mark. The 1952 estimate represents an increase of 40,000 ttnits. or 4 per cent. above the l95l total, and rvas exceeded onll- b1- the 1.396.000-unit starts record establishc'd in 1950.

Housing starts declined less than seasonall;- from ifovember to December.195?, b1' ll per cent to 76'0ff units25 per cent more than the December l95l figure. Earll- reports to the Bureau indicate that December housebuilding activitr- declined in varving degrees in all sections of the countrv except the \\'est South Central region rvhere a rnoderate increase occurred.

The 1952 housing volume rvas influenced partll' bv a gradual easing of restrictions on the use of building materials and the relaxation of mortgage-credit controls. Private housing alone accounted for the higher level of housebuilding in l952-increasing b-"* 54,200 units. or 5 per cent. over 1951. The volume of public housing rvas lorver in 1952 bv 14.200 units. Final estimates available for the first 9 months of 1952 indicate gains over 1951 in the rolume of l- and Z-Iamil.v units. l)ut neN apartment construction continued the decline that began in 1951.

I\fost of the l95l-52 increase in total volume occurred in the latter hali of the year. For the first and second quarter, 1952 volume u'as under that for l95l; but in the third quarter it x'as greater b1' l0 per cent and in the fourth quarter by 17 per cent.

The field of contemporary home design is definitely widened with The Cascade Pacific Lumber Company anouncement of its new oftering of Bi \\'all Louvre Facades. The word 'facade' is used in lieu of 'fence.' With this announcement an entirely ne\M field of such enctosures is opened to sales exploitation. The facades encompass a new version of the picket fence, through the rail types, to the higher garden back drops, dog kennel enclosures, u'indbrakes for beach and $'arm climates, to carport side u-alls and complete privac!' patio protection.

The designs are new in their simplicity. but classically sound and this craftsman jointed fencing is simple to assemble. Likewise, it is easily stained or painted. It is strong and looks the part rvhile presenting a trim and tailored appearance. Better access to sun for grorving plants is achieved, while grass control is simplified. Gates are included without extra charge in the pricing method used u'hich is one of lineal foot of standard height fencing. The facades are available in either cedar or redu'ood from jobbers now being established or in direct pool or part car shipments. Cascade Pacific Lumber Company feels this new oftering to be a real dealer contribution towards enhanced sales.

Specification sheets w'ill be mailed upon request. The distributors ad appears elsen'here in this issue.
