The mill leased and operated by Ben Mast in Jackson Valley, Calif., and owned by George Green of Willits, was recently damaged by fire, rvith a loss estimated at close to $100.000. Because there are no telephones in the vicinity, Jack of Hearts Creek, the mill, equipment, and a quantity of lun'rber on the site burned unchecked. There was plenty of water, but all hoses at the mill were frozen solicl by an early morning freeze.

Mast had just recently completely electrified the mill and installed new equipment at a cost of $10,000. It is reported that he is preparing to start operations of another mill which is near completion.

(ientlenren: Attcntion of Jack l)ionne

On l)ec. 20th, 1949, I wrote you a tctter rvith refcrence to your article, I)cc. l5th issue, in section hcaded, "Vagallond liditorials."

'fhis article was so g<lttd that after I read it a coul>le of tinres, I orderecl one httn<lred copies of it. These rvcre received ancl I took the tr<lullle to mail'them out, allout five cach, to varitltts civic organizations, fraternal orders, .1n1s Cihamber of Cotnmerce, Stockton Chamber of Conrnrerce an<l klcal banks. I received s()me very g<lo<l comtrrents, especially from the State Chamber of Commerce herc in Stockton. They want additi<lnal copies. Horvever, I have none' llut wonder if it is still llossible to get sotlte nlore. I)<>n't forget this article has done a lot rtf good. Ilave other lumbcrmcn taken the trouble as I have done to order somc of thern? If not, they should have.

If you rvill refer, again, to my letter, you will note somewhere in there that I said that if we could unite cnough organizations under one head and work toward the welfare of this country, maybe, we might get rid of some of our un-Atnerican officials, Reds, and subversive elements norv working here to over-throw tl-ris Government of ours.

Whether or not rny thinking is in line, I picked up the San Francisco E,xaminer four or five days ago and noticed that an All American Team is advocated by our National Comrrrander, Geo. N. Craig. Wonderful ! The words spoken would be the exact thoughts I have. So, thank God, that this thought is implanted in some of the minds of those that have to do with shaping the thoughts of members of clubs, fraternal orders, etc. Then there are those like myself who could do a lot of the same kind of work if those at the head of industries would take time out to do so. If not, we are certainly going down the road to ruin and corruption. There is no telling how far this Administration is going to take us, unless we as a whole do something about it.

It might be rvell, if your good paper would direct the thoughts of tl.rose who are subscribers, to this kind of work. It rvill not hurt to try. The more of this that is done right nor', the quicker we will awaken the thoughts of those r,r'ho are more or less thinking, "Let the other fello'iv do it," "Why should I bother about politics ?" And this is about what the average business man thinks.

It is a job for all of us. I want to thank you again for those timely editorials.

Yours truly,

Plcstic Treqted Hard Board

A plastic treatment adapted to the manufacture of hard b,rard nrakes possible a new weather resistant hard board suital>le for exterior l>uilding, it is announced by Harold A. Miller, president of Forest Fiber l'roducts Company, F'orest Grove, Oregon.

This nerv plastic treated hard board called "treated" Forest Board utilizes selected Douglas fir fibers in the salne c()ntrolled process as the standard grade Forest floard. During the manufacturing process the plastic treatment is given to each fiber and after the board is formed an additional surface treatment is given.

The plastic treatment besides furnishing water resistance provides greater structural strength, wear resistance, and an added advantage is its resistance to soap or alkali, I\tiller stated. The new hard board resists chipping, denting and breaking, and like standard hard board is grainless so that it rn'ill not splinter. In the manufacturing process a harcl, glassy, smooth surface is produced that takes any type of finish by spraying, baking or brushing. It nails, glues, planes and rvorks as wood itself.

The plant is in full production in tl-re "treated" hard lroard in sizes of 4'x l', to 4'x 16'and thicknesses oI /8", ttru" and )4". The advantages of the plastic "treated" Forest Board, its water resistance, greater structural strength and rvorkability and variety of sizes make it suitable for numerous uses from shower walls to siding, Miller stated.

Samples of the new "treated" board and further information may be obtained from Stimson Lumber Company, Forest Grove, Oregon, the national distributors for Forest Hard Board.
