HOW TUMBER LOOKS

While the industry average in Crow's Lumber Price Index dropped in the period ending January 24, the green Douglas fir segment remained unchanged. Scattered price gains in green dimension, mostly in Utility, were offset by weakness in timbers. A number of new price lists issued by kiln-drying mills brought Standard & Btr dimension down officially to where the market has actually been. Volume of sales in Economy dry boards and dimension has been slightly better. Dry hemlock dimension has been firm, with upper grades soft. Although prices have not changed, it has 'been more difficult to buy ponderosa pine common boards for mill shipment; select and shop showed signs of weakness.

Shipments of 493 mills reporting to the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ending January 18 were 3.0% below production; orders werc 8.5/o above. For the young year to date,

l.c.c. AciloN To sroP li.TRAnSr CARS OF TUMBER

The ICC is taking steps to stop lumber mills from shipping delayed movement or "transit cars" of lumber. The following

release outlines the basis for the ICC complaints seeking injunc-

' tions against the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific Railroads for intentionally delaying the movement of carload shipments of lumber-what we know in the trade as "transit cars." The

actions are based on that part of the ICC Act which prohibits

railroads from furnishing services not provided for in the

' tarifis. In this case the tariffs do not provide for any uncom-

pensated service of delay. Where their investigation warrants,

similar complaints may later be filed against other railroads

engaged in accepting carloads of lumber for delayed routing.

The ICC Act provides that the railroads and the consignors or

shippers can be held equally liable where a violation of this kind

Some L. A. Building Figures:

Permits issued for single-family dwellings in Los Angeles in the first nine months of 1957 totaled 9,222, amounting to $137,232,009; apartment buildings, 1,322 permits, W,259,270; duplexes, 183 permits, $2,325,896. The total of dwellings started in the period, plus dwelling units resulting from additions, alterations and relocation units, meant housing lor 23,568 families or 82,488 persons.

Also launched in the 9-months period were 220 office buildings totaling $24,584,298; perhits for 3,093 private garages totaling $4,443,t76; 71 permits for public garages at $2,297,199.

is proven, said the Nationai

The release follows:

The Interstate Commerce Commision announced the December23 filing of complaints against the delayed lumber practices of the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific Railroads.

The complaints, filed by the United States Attorneys at Des Moines, Iowa, and St. Paul, Minnesota, seek injunctions under section 3 of the Elkins Act to prevent the Union Pacific and 'Northern Pacific Railroads from intentionally delaying the movement of carload shipments of lumber on their lines while the lumber shipper or broker seeks a market for the shipment and then directs its diversion to the market location.

ICC Chairman Owen Clarke stated, "This is the comrnencement of a Commission campaign to stop this harmful delayecl lumber practice engaged in by a number of the nation's foremost railroads. Many of these delays exceed 20 days. Such delay results in the carriers assuming the storage costs of the lumber dealer, creates costly operating problems, avoids the proper payment of demurrage and contributes to the creation of car shortages during peak shipping periods. The tariffs do not provide for this uncompensated service of delay, and the granting of such service violates section 6(7) of the Interstate Com\ merce Act and section 1 of the Elkins Act."

Mr. Clarke indicated that investigation was continuing to ascertain the degree to which other railroads are engaged in intentionally delaying lumber shipments and that when the evidence warrants, similar injunctive actions will be filed against additional rail carriers. In instances where the rail carriers continue the intentional delayed movement of lurnber shipments, and the evidence warrants, the Commission will recomrnend that criminal action be instituted and indictments sought against carriers and their responsible officials and against the shippers who solicit such delayed service.

Snork of Universe Ernie Woles Meets Wirh Hotel Men in los Vegos

Snark of the lJniverse Ernie Wales, along with Secretary Ben Springer, members of the Las Vegas Hoo-Hoo Convention committee, and Southern California Black Cats Dee Essley, Roy Stanton, Jercy Essley, Jim Forgie and Don Bufkin, met with the Las Vegas Hotel Association rnembers January 17 to outline conveniion activities and hotel reservations for the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo convention to be held there in September. Bob Gallagher from New Mexico was also present to help work out the details.

Four Las Vegas hotels have been named as convention headquarters and will house the several hundred lumbermen, their wives and families during their stay in the beautiful sun country. The Thunderbird, Sahala, El Rancho and Riviera will play hosts to the Black.Cats and each hostelry is famous for its nite life and entertainment, along with the various games' All HooHoo members will be notified well in advance regarding rates at each location.

- "We hope all members will plan to take their vacationg du1lng convention time so that this yCar we will have a record-breaking attendance at the Las Vegas meetings," Snark Wales declared.

Other evidence of the city's growth, according to The Los Angeles Times: 17 permits at $7,853,398 were issued for public works and utilities buildings, 11 permits at $792,475 for public administration buildings, and 24 permits at $19,859,073 for school structures (not to mention 48 school buildings started in county areas).

The Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles was selected by a majority of the members in a mail vote conducted last month by Executive Vice-President Orrie W. Hamilton as the site for the 1958 Membership Conference of Active and Associate members of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association. The date will be February 12, a Wednesday, and the scene will be the new Ambassador ballroom located in the old theatre section on the ground floor off Wilshire boulevard.

Starting with a noon luncheon, the Conference will be an allafternoon, open-forum meeting, winding up with cocktails. Only the members in good standing will be admitted to the Conference-the SCRLA's one big meeting of the year when both these branches of the industry get together, let down their hair, "take each other apart," and wind up solving industry matters that need common discussion.

'.,'An American soldier is quoted as saying that any who pooh-pooh or deny the danger that Communism offers to .the safety of this country, is a mugwump; and he explained that a mugwump is one who sits on a high fenc-e with.his mug on orie said and his wump on the other, makes foolish i- tusS vtr vrrE F.u e..v i;,,,noises, and does nothing.

The following eloguent thoughts are by one Thomas Em' met Moore, They deserve thoughtful reading: "There was a dream that men would one day speak the thoughts of their own choosing. There was a hope that men could one day stroll through the streets at evening' unafraid. There was a prayer that each could speak to his own Crod in his own church. That dream-that prayer-that hope-became AMERICA. Great strength, youthful heart, vast enterprise' hard work made it so. Now that same America is the dream -the hop+the prayer of the world. Our freedom, its dream. Our strength, its hope. Our swift race against time, its prayers. We must not fail the world now. \lVe must not fail to share our freedom with it afterwards. Keep singing, keep working, and fight for America."

And Kenyon Cox wrote this inspirational thing: "Work thou for pleasure, paint or sing or carve The thing thou loveth, though the body starve. Who works for glory, misses all the goal; Who works for money, coins his very soul; Work, then, for work's sake, and it may be, That these things shall be added unto thee."

History amply a"*ot r,l".: ;", no matter how difficult the road he seeks to climb, a crusader who believes with his whole soul that the climb can be negotiated, will awaken a fierce enthusiasm that carries all before it, and overcome all obstacles. In the pathway of a Peter the Hermit on cru' sade, everything inflammable catches fire. To deny it is to deny history. All men are subject to such infuence, and even the strongest are more or less malleable.

New FHA Actions Designed to Add lmpetus To Increose in Home-Building Activity

Washington,D.C.-FHACommissionerNormanP. Mason announced two steps January 9 that will be good news to home buyers. He also said ihat in view of thi increasing. availability of funds for home purchasers, no change is contemp,lated in the maximum rate of interest that may be charged on FHA-insured loans. The two steps were taken at this time to give added impetus to the increase in home building actfuity that has been evident in recent months, said the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

FFIA home. buyers will no longer be required to pay closing costs in cash-_T_he cash pa-yment requirement was instituted in. April .1955 as an anti-inflationary measure. Removal of the requirement will reduce the cashinvestrnent that must be made by home buyers at the time of purchase.

Commissioner Mason explained that under the riew resulatio-n the closing costs may be included in the amount-of the_ loan, if the value of the property is high enough, or builders and sellers can arrang-e to parl the cl5sins coit.

The Commissioner also announied adjustmenis in per- mitted discounts on FHA-insured mortgjges. New ,eella- tions will allow some increase in discorint"s in areas *i"." mortgage money continues to be scarce, and reductions in areas,where mortgag-e funds have become more readily avallable.

The Commissioner.explained that these changes in per- mitted discounts are based on reports from FH"A field of_ fices throughout the country. They were decided upon in order to make mortgage money eqirallv available to American families regardless of their geosrlphic location.

The National Housing Act of 1957 required the FHA to set feasonable discount rates throughouf the country. The

FHA'S Mason Optimistic

Holqsing is ewerybody's busineis, according to Federal Housing Commissioner Norman p. Maion, who eSlrggse.d optimism about the future at a meeting of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association' in Philadelphia. "There is no question about there being a market for houses today. Never was there a tim"e when more. people had incomes that make home ownership possible," Commissioner Mason said in evaluati"g_!.hg tremendous and informed interest in housing.

With more and more families wanting to buy their own homes the industry is faced with-the chillenge of.providing a.large voiu-m9 of good housing that"is prrced wrthrn the range of the average American fam- ily's income and finance{t, with long--range safety features, according to Mr. Mason.

In Commissloner Mason's opinion, there are four factors to consider in evaluating future activitv in housing construction. First is the*availability of mortgage financing; second, the use of second'mortgage h.na111gg; third, the demand for housing, and folrih, the FHA terms for an increasing numblr of families to become home owners.

following adjustments are being made in accordance with this requirement in view of FHA insuring office exp,erience:

(1) Increase from 2 to 3 points in thelermitted'discount in the states of California, Oregon and Washington :

(2) Increase from Zft to 3 points in Arizona, Colo-rado, _I_d_aho, . Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,' Utah and Wyoming.

Home Builders Survey Finds Brlghter Outlook for 1958 on Gonstruction Horizon

Washington-The NAHB Journal of Homebuilding, published by the National Association of lfome Builders for its more than 40,000 home builders, suppliers, contractors, and other services and trades allied with the industry, has changed from the pocketsize book of its birth 10 yeais ago to nlw standard size.

In inaugurating its new format, the January Journal takes stock of the state of the home building industry now and presents an analysis of the Zo-year period from 1955 to L975 in .special articles prepared by the stafi in consultation with NAHB's economists and other land, money, and construction experts.

'

"Few industries," the Journal reported, "show promise of a brighter future than home building. The nation's basic shelter needs in the next two decades will be more than double the total of all residential housing built in the past two decades."

At the currently projected rate of population growth, the Journal said, "the almost irreducible shelter need of the nation is thus 29 million new units in the two decades ending in 1975. This mea'ns an annual average building program-of some 1,450,000 units over the next two decades, tralf again as many as were built last year."

The article also concluded that at the rate of the nation's economic growth, "There is every reason to believe that, from the income side alone, the housing units needed to meet basic shelter requirements can be supported.

"These figures on the housing market," the Journal added, "represent only the basic heed of the next two decades. They make no allowance for any substantial improvement in the

nation's housing, the trend toward two-house families (seasonal homes), nor for the need of more living space among families with small children. Nor do they take into consideration the potential offered through the support and intensificaion of consumer interest in better housing."

' It said the greatest test of the future will be liand, adding that the "heart of the problem is not lack of land but its proper utilization."

It said that it may \ecome desirable to turn to by-passed land-land spurned in the furious rush to the suburbs. It added it seems likely that builders, "viewing the density of population, will be forced in the next decade or two to place greater efiphasis u-pon multi-family units, row houses and'duplexes than they have since World War II. This thought is being advanced by some far-sighted builders and land planners."

In another article, "Today's Research-Tomorrow's Dividend," the Jourrnl pointed oirt that "research may be the only key to progress in home building-an industry that is overregulated, tradition-steeped, and lacking in a fundamental science." Little housing research is being undertaken now that is aimed directly at the fundamental problem-how to build better houses at lower cost, it said.

The convention exhibit hall is the finest concentration of information, product samples, ideas and better business aids that a retail lumberman will ever see . until he returns to the convention the next year.

Yet_but a tiny percentige of conventioning lumber dealers take anywhere near the full advantage bf this oppor- tunity which is usually so colorfully and-interestingly'set before them. A survey of Western-Pine Associatioi-field representatives who attend about 25 conventions each vear indicates few lumbermen may really understand the irue purpose and potential of the exhibit hall and all it contains.

"It is gratifying to call upon a dealer who does,,, one held man reported. "During my calls (about 1,000 per year) I have noticed time and again the successiul retailer is usually one who has sought out and put to use information, materials and ideal made avaihble to him by manufacturers, part of wtr,ich almost always comes from conventions."

To assist retail lumbermen planning to attend their regional and/or national conveniions th"is coming season, h.ere^are some suggestions and pointers as gathe"red from the held men 1n answer to the survey questions:

TWHY GO TO A CONVENTION IN THE FIRST PLACE?

The reasons for attending the convention are numerous. Business, usually, is the chief reason for corning, for the entlre program naturally is built around methods ind means for bettering-retail lumbering, collectively and individually. There are other less commeicial reasonj, however, inclui_ ing the relaxation of the trip and the visit to the city or resort area where the convention is being held; the reniwal of old friendships. and respite from thi pressures of the ollice and lumber vard.

From the business end of conventioneering, there are the chances to learn answers to business problei.s in addresses at the meeting sessions; to make contact with manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors; and to pick up offerecl merchandising aids:

PRF.CONVENTION PREPARATIONS

Prior to leaving for the convention city, make a list of : particular problems bothering you during the past year: the problems_.bothering the past year: DookKeeplng, merchandrsrng. materials handling, financing,

inventories, product problems and other difficul-iies. It mi be wise to make detailed notes on them, and of the particripartlcu- lar.companies or individuals you may wish to cont'act for assistance. Also, check your consum-er and technical product literature file, and your counter displays and pieces to see if they are adequate.

HOW TO TOUR THE EXHIBIT HALL

Obviously you do not want to spend everv minute between the scheduled business and -entertainment sessions on the exhibit hall floor. The question is how to get the most out of the exhibits.

Too often, the field men report, the retailer simply makes Le quick spin around the booths, shyine awav fiom those one around the away shyi which he may feel he has no need t6 contact, and picking h comes within his up samples of most everything which frii reach. Seldom does he have quEstions, and often he waits

He's Running q Building Store Now

f knew him for years when we gave him no cheers, I'd seen his unkempt lumber yard-

Surrounded by mud it looked like a dud, And the landscape it horridly marred.

He didn't use paint and he near threw a faint, If you talked modern methods, I vow, But there's come a change that is startling and strange-

He's running a Building Store now.

He wouldn't improve, he just stayed in his groove, He sure was a real old "Pip;"

He only talked price, and no good advice

On building he ever let slip.

The mention of service made him highly nervous, It looked like he'd never learn how

To sell merchandise, but to our great surprise, He's running a Building Store now.

I don't know what hit him but something sure bit him, It's been a complete resurrection, He's now Mr. Pep and he's making them stepThe builders all over th.is section.

He's hustling, and bustling, and fustling, and

He's opened a plan roon, and started a grand boom, His office is one big display

So tip your hat to him, it really is due himHe rose from the dead, you'll allow;

The smile on his phiz says he's getting the bizHe's running a Building Store now.

-Jack Dionne

rrrrtii a periocl u.hen representatives are not on hancl to slip rrp and pick up iter.ns in 'rvhich he may be interested. This is a process for sl-rort-cliar-rging himself.

Generally, field men agree a "trvo-trip" tour does the job lrest for a retailer. Trip One: a general su.ing arouncl the exhibit hall, gathering materials on a "once-over-1ight1y" 1r:Lsis, noting indiviclrrnrls and firnls u.ith r,vhom you may n ish to discuss matters later or rvhose displays or products :rrouse 1.t-rur interest. Trip Two is more specific; now yorl get rlou.n to cletails, going back to selected l>ooths, asking questions, discrrssing problems, enlarging the library of literature on special interest items.

WHAT PART IN THE CONVENTION IS PLAYED BY THE EXHIBITOR?

Some successful conventions are held n-ithout exhibits, but it is generally agreed an exhibit hall u'ith the quality of clisplays u'hich mar.rufacturers pror.ide today aclds a great lift an<l sparkle to the rvhole convention picture.

But more important here is the fact that the display and the representative of the m:tnufacturer are there to provide serl'ice t<t the lumberman. He is there to make sales, of course, and often clcies. But just as important, he is there to ansu'er cluestions and help <lrrt rvitl.r lrroblems u,hich may har.e developed in regard to l-ris product. lle can suggest u'ays ancl rlreans for merchzrndising his product, and perhaps nerv uses in the building field n,l-rich can expand the product's market u'ith the lumlterman.

WHAT SORT OF QUESTTONS SHOULD YOU ASK AN EXHIBITOR?

Here you have your man trapped ! Pin him dou,n on service and delivery promises not kept, on product malfunction. Suggest more (or less) frequent.calli on his place of business. Invite a sales pitch : make him shovn' vou ivhv his product is better. Ask him how to better merihandise the

product through 1.our store, and for any availal>le aids with u'hicl-r to accomplish better sales.

lJe charitable to the exhibitors. They have gone to considerable effort and expense to come to the convention, set up and assign men to help you. I-et them make their pitcl.r . . you might be interested. It pa1's to attend a convention rvith an open mind.

WHAT ABOUT EXHIBITOR LITERATURE?

Load up ! On your cluick tour around the booths, gather uD anv ancl a1l material offered if it has the least bit of an application to yriur problems. ()n the specific tour (if you make it l:rter, rather than earlier than the "quickie"). vou u'i1l l-rave a chance to concentrate on those firnrs' booths u'hich provided the materials most interesting to you.

By all means, judge each piece of material prior to discarding it. Some you har.en't seen before, some you have. Reconsider the familiar, and give er.er.v consideration to tl're neu' material. Nfodern promotional methods are open to

you rvith such literature rvhich can produce effective resrrlts at relatively lorv cost.

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD BE DEVOTED TO EXHIBITS?

The concensus is at least half :r ilav should be devotecl to the exhibit hall. This might be split- into tu,o periods, and since morning exhibition times usually handle the lightest tralfic, this is suggestecl as the best time to make the tour. Flon'ever. since the size of display halls varies from conventior-r to convention, no set peri,,,i o{ time coulcl be logically assigned here. For the sake of the business. horvever, it will l)av everv lumberman to make as much rrse of the exhibit hall ancl the displavs and services offerecl tl.rere as he feels he can allorv.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A CONVENTION EXPERIENCE WORK FOR YOU?

So r.orr are back home. The conr.ention can do you plenty of good but not if everything garnered there-materially and mentally-is forgotten. Take each irlea, product data, merchanclising suggestion, sales aid and tale of "srrccess stories." Exan.rine each in<1ir.iduall1'.:rnd cletermine if it might not be put to u.ork for you.

Sonre of the success storics may be just stories, but others u.on't. See if the nen' mercl-randisir-rg i<leas u'ill appeal t<r yorlr cornmunity, or if some variation might not rvork better. Explore the possibilities of putting the manrrfacturer's literature to n,cirl< [or you. l')xpertly contrived cnvelooe stuffer-size folders are often available rvhich can bc userl in a sepirrate direct rnail campaign. or can be enclosccl n'ith invoices to o1d customers. I-arger items may be rvortl.ry of gir.ing arvay to your better customers, or for using as courrter pieces. Often such items rnay be imprinted u'ith vour name at little exDense. -

Association officeis feel manufacturers' exhibits have a definite, positive part to play in the retail lumber dealers conventions. That is whv most conventions have them and play them up to iheir utmost importance.

The rnanuiacturers then-rselles feel exhilrits are a necessary part of tl-reir s:Lles and scrvice. Thev 1ay out surprisinglv hear,,r. expenclitures zrnnuallv to lrurchase booth space, create an<l builcl attractive, competitivc displays, to ship equipn-rent and clisplal's to conventi,rns scattered all over the country, an<l to assign personncl to 'rvork the displa.y booths.

The exhibit hall is a definite plrrs-factor for the retailer n-ho avails hinrself of the vast opporturrity otf erecl.

'Equipment for Cheoper logging' Discussed by R. G. LeTournequ

V:rncouver, R. C.-(Jan. 15)-"If tl.re pionecring and forcsight of North Arnerican log{ers continue at the present rate, it will be a challenge to science fiction itself to keep pace with developments in the industry," said 1".

I-eTourr.reau, Inc., one of the world's leading logging equipment tnanufacturers, before the l5th annual Truck l-oggers convetrtion here today.

Mr. Ilvangelist predicted a nurnber of clevelopm'ents in cquipment of the future. Among then'r:

3. N,Ietho<ls rvill be discoverecl to elimit.rate tl.rc haulage of u'aste. First step hcre r,vill probably be the conversion of logs into semi-hnishecl products while still in thc iorcst.

C)nly one note of warning was included in the l-eTourneau e*ecuiive's address. "The logging industry rnust be prepared to participatc in thc cost of development of specialized machinery if thcse advances are to keep pace with the forwarcl progrc,ss of other industrics," he declared. "Thg tlay is, not iar bff when all equipment used in the woocls lvill have been designed specifically for the logger. It will require increasing numbers of pioneers, with foresight and courage, to lead the inclustry into its destined new heyday of tonlorrou'."

dey is, an' on de othah han', Ah has seen 'em bettah; but Ah confesses Ah ain't nevah seen 'em so good dat Ah had to stop in de middle of de colleckshun an' go ernpty de box."

And then there was the time when Mose Landrn owner of a small cotton patch, was asked how-he was getting along? He said: "Po'ly thank de Lawd, mouty po'ly.

Los Angeles lfoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. t held its lanuary meeting on the 13th at Man Jen Low restaurant, 475 Gin Lin! Way, Chinatown. Many of the lumberwomen declared this wai the best Chinese dinner they had ever enioyed-'nuf said ! Ex-President Mabel Staser's son gave the Hob-Hoo-Ettes an enlightening discussion on the pros and cons of incorporating the club and the members will decide on the move. Mrs. Christina Walsh of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. gave a splendid talk on public relations and "Telephone Courtesy" and the dividends it will pay; every member present gained some fine advice on the subJect.

The door. prize was won by Mildred Evans (right) and she was also hailed by President Ida Cunner and Bessie Stewart for the very outstanding job she has done with the Program committee wo.rk this term.

Two tlumber-Sfretcher' Pqfents

The U. S. Patent Office at Washington, D.C., last month issued two patents to Frank O. Higgins of New Orleans covering the "method and apparatus for stretching and stress relieving lumber." The Wood Stretcher-Patents I\o. 2815779 znd 2815780-was invented by the presiclent of Higgins Industries, Inc., worlcl's largest r.nanufacturer of larninated harclwood flooring. Frank Higgins, 43, son of the late Andrerv J. Higgins, industrialist ancl WWII boat builcler. has spent rnost of his life in the lumlter and allied lielcls anrl issuarice of the oatents to him cuh.r.rir.rates a lifetime of work and experinrerrtation in the field of rlinrensiorrally stahilizirrg hurrber.

The patents were assigned by the inventor to his firm, which has developecl ecluipment in its machine shops for the application of the lurnber-stretching process in the rnanufacture of new flooring products which will soon be nationally distributed ancl priced competitively with asphalt tile and other resilient floor covenngs.

Heretofore, in the lnrnber ir.rdustry, ir.r tl'rat class with the "left-handed monkey wrench," the "si<y hook" and "type lice," the new "Lumber Stretcher" is literallv iust that. The end result of the application referred to by the-Patent Offrce description is-to create a piece of lun-rber or veneer tl-rat is larger dimerxionally when completely dried and finished tl.ran it was in its natural wet stage. Consequently, it becomes impossible for the velteer or lumber to expand further, when confined, even though submerged in water for an indefinite periocl. It also becomes impossible for the wood to shrink or contract because of the countless "expansion joints" created in the wood during the stretching process.

The secret of the success of tl-re long-sought "Wood Stretcher" lies in these "joir.rts," created in the treated woocl. Wood, a hydroscopic material, expands and contracts tl-rror"rgh its absorption of moisture. Tl.ris expansion or grolvth, however, takes plale in one dimension only-that opposite to the grairr; the grain dimension rer.naining constant.

The convention. first to be held of representatives of all segments of the srvimming pool industry, drew 200 men from all parts of the U.S. to hear taiks an<l discttssions by industry leaders, and to establish the formal organization of the group.

The Higgins process, by introducing countless additional manmade expansion joints into the wood at a stage when its moisture content closely approximates its natural (or maximum) wet state, stretches the r.r,'ood beyond the size it could possibly expand to if it became wet after drying. In sl.rort, the wbod becomes larger dry than when wet-untif now an impossibility. _ Application of the Higgins process does not measurably iffect the thickness of the woocl. Nor is there any change in the grain pattern or the surface of the lumber or vel1eer, and no lois of strer.rgth or durability. In its application to wood veneers, the stretching process produces a veneer completely flexible, but one which will also conform to almost aiv surface-flat or irregular-by its own weight. Veneers so tieatecl are saicl to become id-eally suited for conversion to flooring, wall paneling, furnitnre finishes ancl many other frrnctional arrd decorafine usei.

New Policy of 'leosing' Studied For Lumber Industry Sovings

Chicago-\\:ithin the ncxt l0 ycars, many lumber companies lvill be operating thcir plants rvith lease<l ecluipment, according to \\'illiam R. Heins in a study for tire Founclati,rn for f,Ianl agement Research. Thc sturly i-s cntitlrrl. "I-easing An<l An'rerican Inclustrv." Heins is president of Unite<l Statrs I-easing Corporation.

The r.r-rajor virtue of leasing is said to bc that it frces tvorking capital for expansion r,f sales, takirrg of all trade discounts, building balancecl inventories, exparlrlir.rs- research and clevelopment lvork, etc.

The postr,r'ar trcnd torvards expansion of procluction ancl cliversity of product, coupled u,ith a tighter rnoney nrarket, has put pressure on the rvorking capital of lurlber manufacturcrs. As a result, morc such companies are leasing ir.rstcad of brryir-rgnew ecluipment today.

. Leasing,.lleins' study said, rvill become increasingly important in industries whose ratio of fixed assets-to tangible net worth is at least 30o/o. In the lumber industry, it is 360/0.

Somc lur-nber nranufacturers, the Unitecl States Leasing Corporation presidcnt inrlicated, are even selling their plant facilities ancl equipnrent, and lcasing them back ilnrnediatelv-on a purcl-rase-leascback. Thc object here is to convr:rt fixecl assets to current assets.

.L.1r1t]g currentlv aplrears to have three appeals, the stuclv said. "First, in these clays of tig'ht n-roney, a rlanufacturer doei not have to frceze his or,r'r.r capital irr equipn.rent. Second, a r-nanufacturer does not have to \^'orry aborrt crluipment becoming obsolete. At the encl of a short-turm lease, :r c()ml)alrv can alrvavs secure the newest piece of ecluipr"nrnt or-r another iease. The leasing corporation hanrlles dispos:rl of the u.orn ectuiDrnerrt.'fhe tvpical lease todav is fr,,ni thrct.to fir'. r.car.. Tliis t'lirrrirratt.s tlre risli of obsoltscencc."

In acldition, Heins' stucly indicatecl, the ir.rflationarr. trencl of the last 10 years has fanned interest in leasing. "Conrpanics used to believe that thcy should rent real estate, but otr-n equipment and other fixed assets. lndrrstrial real estate, hou.er-er, holcls its value, ltut equipment alu'avs clepreciates. Nlanv cornpanies norv proceecl on thc theory tliat thel'ought to ouir l'hat is stable and rent the itcms n'hich clecline in value."

I-easing offers other possible aclvantages, but these are only for special situations, the study said. Sonre cor.npanies lr,hich hold a tight checkrein on capital cxpcn<liturcs, can acrluirr ncw ecluipment or facilities by leasing, u.itl.rout asking the-ltoard of directors to raise rnorc capital.

Son're companies do trnt lil.e to irrr.est in eclrripntent srrbject to rapid obsolescence. I-easing bv-passrs this probleni. I-casing also is saicl to offer some tax aclvantag.cs, brrt this is ntainly tax postponement.

You Oughto Know'Joe'-the Guy in the New Hyster

Realizing that the operator is a prime element in lift-truck efficiency, Hyster Company enlisted the services of one of the nation's top industrial design 'experts a few years ago to tailor their extensive line of industrial trucks to the specific requirem€nts of the men who would operate them.

Hyster's newly announced Space Saver line (CLM, l/L5/58), a cushion-tired series of 6000, 7000 and 8000 pounds capacity, reflects the refi4ements of "human engineering" to such a point that the trucks were literally built under their drivers.

Dimensions, angles, placement of controls, and general styling are based on a thorough study of the human form. Typical of the efficiency factors considered is visibility fore and aft subtle details like the slope of a hood to give the driver the best possi,ble view of his surroundings for smooth, safe operation; comfort, with adjustable seats that can be positioned to accommodate the man behind the wheel, and are so arranged that he can mount and dismount easily; ease of control, with pedals

mation on "Joe" and "Josephine," the average American male and female. The data, plus detailed engineering drawings, analyzes and summarizes the proportions, movements, and visual range of 95/o of our population, from the petite girls who now handle man-sized factory jobs to lanky ex-basketball players. Then the non-standard driver was considered too, so that, within limits, the vehicle could be designed for safe, comfortable handling by a short, myopic individual or a tall, huslcy operator.

Joe has very little privacy. He is disected and criss-crossed by all sorts of angles, dimensions, pivot points, measurements

and levers conveniently placed in relation to the seat, as well as designed with built-in resistance and direction of' motion most suitable for the operator.

To meet the physical and visual needs of drivers of different shape, size, and characteristics, Henry Dreyfuss, Ifyster's industrial design consultant, referred to masses of statistical infor-

and center lines. What Joe can and can't do, how he reacts to certain objects, materials, forms, shapes and pressures were the starting points in the design of the new Space Saver 60, 70 and 80.

Of couise, other engineering features were developed to simplify operation: power steering as standard equipment to make the vehicle easy to maneuver in close quarters and narrow aisles . a skeleton apron through which the operator can see better when removing a load from storage an automatic transmission with torque converter and power shifting elements that take the work out of driving.

Admittedly, such consideration for Joe's size, shape, likes and dislikes give him all the appearance and prestige of a pretty important fellow. Hyster engineers think he is. They are firmly convinced that his cons.ideration is of paramount importance in the operation of a productive industrial truck. For this rea-

'Experiment in Reoding'

"Read to me, Mommy," is a request that is being heard more and more by parents of young. children in the small town of Gallatin, Tennessee, according to an article in the December issue of Harper's Magazine, by Gilbert W. Chapman, chairman of the National Book committee and presidenf of The Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company. "Experiment in Reading" describes a project designed to introduce pre-schoolage clildren to the rvonders of books and, at the same !ime_, !o foster the reading-aloud habit in the family. -In Gallatin, the project was first begun in the locll Yale plant.

"The Reading-Aloud Bookshelf" consists of carefully selected books that are popular with young children. These were first made, available, without a check-out system, to employes of the Yale plant. A sign above the bookshelf told the employee-parents, "The books on this shelf are books that small ihildren gnjoy. Bring it back when you and your children have finished it together so other families may enjoy it, too." The response was immediate and eye-opening. By the end of the second day, the shelves were swept clean and the books have been in constant circulation ever since.

For the first time in history, the United States last year planted a billion forest trees, announced Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Tatt Benson. To celebrate th_is achievement, the tree selected to represent the billionth was planted December 18, at Macon, Ga. The year's record exceeds by approximately 200 million trees th_e previous high set in 1956, according to a Forest- Service compilation of reports from nurseries, state foresters.. and federal agencies responsible for tree planting. T,ast year f36/o of the tree flanting was on private lands and I4/o on public lands. Twenty years ago only 26/o was on private lands, while 74/o was on public land. Secretary Benson said that even at the rate of a billion trees a year, it will take more than 50 years to restore to trbe growth, land which must be planted to make it productive again. The greatest part of this planting will be on private lands, since three-fourths of all the commercial forestland in this country is in private ownership.

compared with a $1 billion increase to 914.9 billion for public projects.

LUMBER INDUSTRY: The lumber industrv is exoect-

ing a somewhat better year in 1958 than in 1957, provided current projections for construction, particularly new housing, materialize. The construction industry offers about the only_ hope for better conditions in the lumber industry. If residential construction attains a level of 1.1 million houses. lumber production may reach 36.0 billion board feet. Production in 1957 was around 34 billion board feet, as against 37.5 billion in 1956.

HARDWOOD PLYWOOD INDUSTRY: Shipments of the domestic hardwood plywood industry in 1957 amounted to approximately 78O million square feet, compared with 886 million in 1956 and 934 million in 1955. This downward trend is expected to continue through 1958.

SOFTWOOD PLYWOOD INDUSTRY: The softwood plywood industry is expected to establish its twelfth consecutive production record in 1958 with an output of approximately 5,900 million square feet, an increase of more than 5 percent above the 1957 level. No expansion in production facilities is anticipated. Weak prices which persisted throughout 1957 arc expected to improve.

PORTLA.ND CEMENT: The industry experienced another good year in 1957 in both production and shiprrients. There were respective declines of six percent and four percent from the peak year 1956. This record was achieved despite a work stoppage that affected about one"half of the producing plants during part of June and July. It is estimated thar 1957 shipments will aggregate 300 ,rnillion barrels, valued at almost $1 billion at mill prices and approach the 1956 total of 312 million barrels. With a revbisal in trend projected for residential building in 1958 and practically all other segments of construction also slated to rise, there is a strong possibility that portland cement shipments in 1958 will exceed those of 1957.

Construcfion Activiry in 1957 fofqfs R.ecord $4;7.3 Billion

Outlays for new construction in 1957 totaled $47.3 billionabout 3/o above the record $46.1 billion spent in 1956, according to preliminary estimates prepared jointly by the U. S. Department of Commerce and the U. S. Department of Labor. Expenditures were at peak levels in 1957 for a large majority of the major types of private and public construction, but there was a narrowing of year-to-year gains for some important components.

Primarily because of the decline in private dwelling unit construction, last year's overall rate of increase in total construction activity was the smallest in the 12 years since the end of World War II. The physical volume of total new construction in 1957 (expenditures adjusted for price changes) was about the same as in 1956. However, when private residential building is excluded, the constant dollar value (in 1947-+9

prices) was up 3/o. The record $33.3 billion spent for private construction in 1957 was only slightly above the 1956 figure, whereas public outlays rose 9/o to a new high of $13.9 billion. New private housing activity, still influenced by a shortage of mortgage funds, declined by IO/o in 1957 to $12.2 billion, about the same relative decrease as occurred in 1956. By mid1957, however, the 2-year slide in private residential construction appeared to be checked, and outlays (seasonally adjusted) rose steadily through the end of the year, largely on account of the rise in apartment building. Declines from 1956 in spending for work on new dwelling units narrowed from l3/o in the first half of 1957,to lo/o in the third quarter, and 5o/o in the fourth quarter.

Property owners in the area successfully protested the proposed Samuel Tustin Annexation which would have included the storage yard site, after the tentative zoning as set up by the city would have permitted the yard. Councilmen discounted a prevalent report that Mullin might remove its city yard to a site where it could be served by a storage yard, outside the city limits.

,Wtt PRNilNG OF WOOD SIDING

By John Reno, Utilization Director, The Pacific Lumber Company

: Mill priming of siding is receiving much publicity and some of it is misleading.

', .In the first place, the term "mill priming" is being given to mill treatments with water-repellent preservatives. This

is not correct since these treatments do not remove the need for priming with paint.

The most widely used mill treatment is dipping into a clear water-repellent preservative solution like Nelsonite 30P5, Penta WR, Woodlife or'Woodtox, or into Lifeprime White which is a liquid somewhat like Woodlife to which a small amount of white pigment has been added. Vacuum impregnation with these products has.also been done.

These types of mill treatment protect the siding against paint blistering and staining caused by rain water which gets back of the siding. Almost equal protection against rain water can be had by generously applying these and similar products by brush to the backs and ends of siding just pefore putting the siding on the house.

- As mentioned previously, these types of treatment do not take the place of a prime coat of paint or reduce the number of coats of paint needed to do a good paint job. The United States Forest Products Laboratorv still recommends three coats of paint whether or not th,! siding is treated with a water-repellent preservative. The treatment does not add to the life of the paint job, except that it protects against rain-caused paint blistering.

The next question is: Does paint 'blistering due to rain water occur often enough to warrant the extra cost of mill treating with a water-repellent preservative ? Or, is the promotional value of being able to say that siding is treated against rain-caused paint blistering great enough to cause one to pay more for mill-treated siding?

Treating with a water-repellent preservative offers very little protection against paint blistering and staining caused by the movement of water vapor through the walls from high humidity inside a house. The only real orotection against this trouble is the use of a vapor barrier on the warm side of the exterior walls.

Mill priming with a regular paint is very risky. This is so because it is necessarv that the second and third coats of paint be of a type that will work satisfactorily with the prime coat. As a matter of fact, the only real safe way is to use a priming paint and a finishing paint made by the same manufacturer. Since there are five popular types of white house paints and scores of paint manufacturers, you can see that mill priming with a regular paint presents a real danger.

So-called back priming on the job with regular paint as practiced today is a waste of money. However, back and

cement industry, which regards the control system as a major move toward automation in the manufacture of cement.

The system was designed jointly by Lewis A. Parsons, Calaveras consulting engineer, and Mel C. Sutton, Calaveras chief chemist, with the technical assistance of Nels S.wanson. It provides, for the first time, a method of measuring the temperature of the mix in the calcining zor,.e of the kiln, approximately 110 feet from the start of the burning zone. Temperatures in this area average 14000 F. Changes in the mix temperature, as noted by the instruments, bring about immediate compensating changes in fuel and air flows to keep the burning process uniform.

Until now this phase of cement manufacture has required the attention of an operator skilled in estimating temperatures in the calcining area by comparing the recorded temperatures at feed and burning ends of the kiln. The operator would then make manual adjustment of fuel and air flows. The new system of precisiort control makes possible a uniformity of production not previously attainable

new patterns will round out the company's line of fiber acoustical and decorative tiles. These are the new regular pattern tile, increased to 529 perforations per square foot, and the casual pattern tile with an eye-appealing random pattern of 316 perforations in three different diameters.

All tile patterns have been redesigned for improved appearance and ease of installation, with sound absorbing qualities boosted through lower tile density, Campbell said.

The acoustical line will feature new clean-cut perfora- tions, narrower margins, smaller painted bevels and smoother surface, producing a more continuous perforated patterned ceiling. Now being manufactured at the St, Helens, Oregon, plant of Kaiser Gypsum, the tiles have white washable or white washable flame resistant finishes.

They are available, with butt joint, in the following modules ; l2"xl7', l7'x24" cross-scored and 2('x24t ii thicknesses of fir, 5/8", /4" and. lt'. The 1" thickness is also available in a 24'x4U' size.

The butt joint tile, kerfed for splines or kerfed and cut back for mechanical suspension, is available in lV'x17, and, l7'and 24' cross-scored sizes in 3/+r, and It, thicknesses. The new Firlok joint is a feature of the rlt, tiles.

Also present were S. M. Thomas, secretary of the Southern California Hardwood Dealers Credit Association in Los Angeles; Kenneth Smith, secretary-manager of the Lumber Dealers Association of Los Angeles, and William H. Lodge of the San Francisco Hardwood Club.

C. H. White made a report on the Memphis convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association. He stated that the 1928 convention had better representation from the Pacific 'Coast than ever before. He further stated that the main theme of the convention was the submission of nerv rules of proposal C.

Mr.'Crabs of Hugh-Mclean Company, gave a blackboard explanation of the new rules. Mr. D. J. Cahill presented a

clear-cut logical opposing argument. When the vote was taken, 27O voted in the affirmative, and 178 in the negative. Inasmuch as it required a two-thirds majority to pass, the proposal was defeated.

Harry White emphasized the fact that everyone should attend ihe national-convention as it is a liberal education. He further stated that the carload business is increasing so rapidly that it is beginning to be quite a problem to the hardwood wholesaling yard. fn the East there is a distinct line drawn by the wholesaler and retailer, while the yards on the Coasf are both wholesaling and retailing. This apparently has some bearing on the price certain mills quote as they look upon the Coast dealers as retailers. Harry as they look White was re-elected as director of the National Hardwood Lumber Association for another three vears.

Mr. B. S. Bellis of the E. J. Stanto.t & So., Co. gave a very interesting talk on intangible costs in operating a hardwood yard. D. J. Cahill gave a very interesting talk on the present need of cooperative activity, bringing out the fact that cooperation between competitors is very essential. He further stated that the free exchange of credit information and joint promotional adveitising, and joint efforts developing and holding markets, and favorable infuencing of volume buying would go a whole lot further toward increasing the business of a company than the cutting of prices.

Territory of Hqwqii to Recrpproise R.eql Property in Huge Building Surge

The Territory of Hawaii will soon take steps for a comolete fpppaisal of real property, it was disclosed^ by John Ctiitas, flonolulu businessman, on his recent session with a firm of Los Angeles appraisal engineers.

"Postwar events have caused immense changes in the economy of the Islands," he said;"We don't want to-tax ourselves into trouble. The Islands are better off financially than thev have ever been and one of the most important elements of siabilitv is a sane tax system." Although t6e Islands' chief income stiil comes from sugar, pineapple, tourists and services to the armed torces, a new element is the enhanced value of land throush its development as homesites and for industrial and commercial purposes, Childs pointed out.

In addition to numerous multimillion-dollar projects now p{ogfe:sr he cited these developments on the island -of Oahu which Honolulu is the chief city) alone:

Expenditures_ for-Army-Navy housing urill -reach large proportions throughout the next five years, the Honolulu businessman said; among the projects will be 2,792 Capehart housing units. The Army has also broken ground for a$22,640,000 build-ing program at Schofield Barracks which will furnish 1,326 Capehart units.
