The California Lumber Merchant - February 1952

This is a view of the Rigdon Road, main artery of the extensive system constructed by Pope & Talbot in the Oakridge area.

Down this road come the logs which supply our mill at Oakridge. It is the first link between the forests and the many enthusiastic customers of Oakridge lumber throughout the country.

But the Rigdon Road carries more than logs.

It is open, the year around, to all comerscampers, tourists, fishermen, and picnickers. The road penetrates one of the most beautiful parts of the Northwest, and the joint eftorts of Pope & Talbot and the Forest Service have kept the right-of-way unspoiled.

The Rigdon Road opens an area of great n tural beauty and recreational value. Pope & Talbot hope that increasing use will be made of it from yer to year.

CPR 122---Ceiling Prices for Western

Softwood Plywood and Yeneer

The Office of Price Stabilization today announced dollarsand-cents ceilings on direct mill sales of standard grades and dimensions of softwood plywood and Douglas fir veneer produced west of the 1O5th meridian, and provided means for pricing special items manufactured in that area.

The ceilings are prescribed in Ceiling Price Regulation 122, effective February 4, 1952, and apply only to sales in the continental United States.

The specified production area is roughly that part of the United States west of the Rocky Mountains.

Plywood is widely used in construction, cabinet rvork, mill work and packaging, and is in demand in marine construction, and by electronics industries and other war industries. It is made of three or more plies or laminations of veneer glued together with the grain of alternate plies running at right angles.

The new regulation conforms with the OPS program of issuing tailored dollars-and-cents regulations as expeditiously as possible for all industries where they are appropriate.

Spelled out ceilings are provided for standard grades and dimensions of plywood made of Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock, noble fir, r,vhite fir, ponderosa pine, Idaho pine, sugar pine, u'estern red cedar, redwood, Engelmann spruce and Sitka spruce. Douglas fir is the species predominantly used.

The general level of prices established is approximately equal to the level prevailing during the period from January 25 to February 24,1951.

The plywood industry in the area concerned produces nearly 3,000,000,000 surface feet annually, valued at about $300,000,000. A surface foot is a piece of plvrvood /{ of an inch thick, one foot square, and is a measurement unit for the plywood industry comparable to the board foot measurement in the lumber industry.

The plywood industry employs about 20,000 factory workers r.vhose aggregate pay approximates $100,000,000 annually.

There are about 80 plyrvood mills in the area covered, most of rvhich are integrated, manufacturing both veneer and pl1'wood. The veneers run from l/10 to 1/5th of an inch in thickness, and are rotary-cut, or "peeled" from logs.

Some 16 to 20 "green end" veneer mills only peel, cut and grade green veneer for shipment to plywood mills. A fs11' plywood rnills depend entirely on purchased veneer.

Following are the spelled-out ceilings per 1,000 square feet, f.o.b. mill, for direct mill sales in carload lots of some of the major grades and dimensions of plywood, constituting about half of the total production ; and for Douglas fir veneer:

1/8', face $36.00, core 912.00

l/6,', core $16.0O

3/76", core 918.30

I/5', core $19.70

A direct mill sale is one which originates at the producer's mill, irrespective of rvhether the seller is a mill operator, l'i'holesaler, retailer, or other distributor.

Ceilings on less than carload lots, f.o.b. mill, are 10 per cent higher than or carload lots. Carload lots are determined in accordance with weights prescribed by current Interstate Commerce Commission or State regulations.

The regulation applies to softwood plywood manufactured and faced rvest of the 105th meridian with plastic, composition, decorative or other special faces, vertical grain softwood faces, and faces processed by wire brushing, etching, or other means.

The regulation does not cover so-called technical plywood, even though made in the described area of softwood, when made according to MIL-P-6070 (Aircraft Flat Panel) specifications issued by the Armed Forces, or to softwood plyrvood rvith one or more laminations of hardwood veneer.

For special types of plywood and veneer not specifically priced in the regulation, ceilings must be determined by application to the Offrce'of Price Stabilization in a prescribed manner.

On such special items norv being produced, manufacturers must apply for ceiling prices within 30 days of the effective date of the regulation.

BROTHERHOOD. I can't think of brotherhood as just a word. It is more than just a good intention, a sermon from the pulpit, or a politician's cliche. It is a way of llfe, life itself, and it goes as deep into a man as his own heart. It is the only real proof that we have come out of the jungle, into the sun. Brotfierhood, as I see it, is one big thing and a thousand little things. It is color blind; it is a gate through a fence between neighbors; it is man's humanity to man. I believe in it. I believe that without a feeling of brotherhood for my fellow man, I am morally and spiritually bankrupt. And I KNOW that it is our last great chance of survival', the only antidote to the Atom, the only barrier to the blast of the Bomb; the only tomorrow.

Henry Ward Beecher said: "Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can yet hear ther:n, and while their hearts can be cheered by them."

Thos. Paine said ' "Orlrtrl,, O.U will not give up a peopl'e to military destruction or leave them unsupportedly to perish who have so earnestly and repeatedly sought to avoid the calamity of war by every decent method which modern wisdom could invent. Neither have f so much of the infidel in rne as to suppose that He has ever relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils-"

Thos. Paine also offered these words of cheer: "Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the confict the more glorious the triumph. What we attain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods. And it should be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not behighly*rated."

Capt. Robert Dollar, then in his eighties, said: "flard work and a hopeful heart are two importont aids to success. I haven't the slightest idea when I will quit active work except that it will not be while I am alive. Years mean nothing; it is ambition that keeps the heart young."

When the members of the Plymouth colony celebrated their first Christmas on what rwas to become this great land they numbered about one, hundred souls. The harvest which furnished their first holiday meal's was gathered from about twenty acres of New England soil. Today we gather our harvests from nearly six million farms, with a total of about 1,141,615,000 acres. Truly their prayers were answered in wondrous fashion.

Bruce Barton relates that he once asked H. G. Wells, famous British historian and philosopher, who were the greatest men in the history of the world. He says that Wells named the following: Jesus, BuddhE Asoka, Aristotle, Roger Bacon, and Abraham Lincolh. He explained tersely: "These men stood on the corners of history. Events hinged on them. The current of human thought was freer and clearer because they lived and worked. They did not get, they gave, and in giving gained eternal influence."

About thirty ,..r" "*ol *"r ""*"U Lothrop Stoddard published a book called "The Rising Tide of Color." Only a few books were sold, and it went unnoticed by everyone. The book is already a prophecy. ft reminded the white people of the world of the rise of power among the yellow and brown hordes of the East. and warned them, that Asia was even then in revolt against the white man, who numbered only one-fourth of the people of the world. Mr. Stoddard's thesis was that the colored hordes of Asia only wait their time to take over world control. He thought the fate of the white race depended on sticking together.

Arthur Legueux, Past President of Rotary, thinks highly of the value of friendship. He says: "Being friendly can be like an art or a hobby. The more you do it, the better you are at it. People with a selfish slant on life are likely to poke fun at others as we go along according to an unselfish standard. Such self-regarding persons are likely to sneers at the naivete of people who make a vocation of friendliness. They Ere not as smart as they think they are. They get less than they aim for. The friendly one without a selfish aim, gets the richest rewards."

Folks, Meet Lloyd Cole and Dan Strite

Supervising the operation of 18 large branch retail yards is quite a chore. That is Lloyd Cole's and Dan Strite's job with the Hammond Luhber Company, namely, supervisor and assistant supervisor, of the company's branch yards in Southern California. They make their headcluarters at the company's Los Angeles office.

Lloyd Cole was born in Norfolk, Nebraska, rvhere he started in the lumber business. He was a pilot during World War I with the rank of 2nd Lieutenant and received his discharge in 1919. He then went with the Interstate Lumber Company in Denver and was with this concern from 1920 to 1923.

Lloyd came to Los Angeles in 7923 and rvent to work the same day he arrived for the Hammond Lumber Company in their wholesale lumber department, remaining in this department until 1935. From 1935 to 1943, he was Hammond's wholesale redwood representative in Southern California. He was appointed supervisor of the company's branch yards in Southern California in 1943 rvhich position he now holds..

He is a member-. of Lumbermen's Post of the American Legion, and Hoo-Hoo, joining the Order in Denver 1n 1921. Lloyd and Mrs. Cole make their home in Pasader-ra.

logging camp for the Whitney Lumber Company at Garibalcli, Oregon, u,'here he spent six years, and the next two years he rvorked in their sawmill. During the winter months ol l92l and 1922, he attended forestry courses at the University of Washington. In 1927, tl-te Whitney Lumber Compal1y consolidated with tl-re Hammond Lumber Company, forming the Hammond-Tillamook l-umber Company.

In 1931, Dan r.vas r,vholesale representative for the Hammoncl Lumber Company in New Mexico, working out of the Los Angeles of;fice. From 1932 to 1935 he was in their rvhcilesale lumber department in the Los Angeles office, and from 1935 to 1942 was rvholesale salesman in the red'ivood department coverine East Side Los Angeles, C)range, San Diego.

The Preacher's Heat

The preacher had played golf for years as a member of a certain golf foursome, and one day in a crowd someone said to another member of the four:

"John, I want to ask you something that has long been on my mind. You have played golf with the parson for years. With all the things that arise in golf that are trying on the temper, have you ever heard him use any language, or say anything, unbecoming to his cloth?"

Moves Hecd Ollice to Pqsqdena

Dave Lashley, general manager of Pacific Western Lumber Co. of California, Inc., announces the removal of the head office from San Francisco to Pasadena effective February 1.

In addition to Mr. Lasley, the personnel of the Pasadena office includes Helene Michael, "Doc" Cook and Howard Barnard. Tim Wood is in charge of the Arcata buying office. and his assistant is Dan Madden.

"No," said the other, "I am glad to be able to testify that the preacher has marvelous self-control. I have never yet heard him say anything on the golf course that he could not safely say in Sunday School. I have noticed THIS, however. That when he is having a particularly bad day and his golf shots are harassing him, when he misses a shot-he spits-and where he spits the grass never, never grows again."

Ne* Industry ln Los Angeles

The International Veneer and Plywood Corp., at 5510 W. 102nd Street, Los Angeles, brings to the Southwest area a new industry that will manufacture veneer which is of importance to the furniture and construction industry. The company which began operation shortly after the first of the year will manufacture more than a 1,000,000 square feet of Philippine and African plywood as well as an equal amount of veneer each month.

Logs are imported direct from the Philippine Islands and Africa. These high-grade mahogany logs, together with fir logs from the North'rvest, are sliced into veneer for the manufacture of plywood, furniture panels and doors.

The neu' plant is located on a two-acre site in the nelv Hayden-Lee airport industrial tract near International Airport. The firm represents an investment of more than $500,000. It u'i1l employ 75 personnel locally and rvill distribute its products through jobbers in the United States and overseas as rvell as in California. The company expects to maintain three shifts, seven days a week by spring.

Plant equipment and facilities include warehouse space, three underground vats for "cooking" logs, a veneer slicer, dryer, and a specially constructed hot hydraulic plyrvood press.

Officials of the firm are Charles E. Strait, president; Thomas A. McDougall, sales manager and secretary; George E. Keiter, treasurer, and Z. E. Beiser, r'ice president. Strait and McDougall orvned Strait & Co., Los Angeles, importers and distributors of hardwood, ply'ivood and doors.

New Louvre Glass \(/indow Unit Sold Through Dealers

Coor-Pender & Long Co., Los Angeles, are now in production on their new louvre glass window unit known as the Windowmaster. These units are being sold through the dealers for new construction and remodeling as well as for replacement of poorly working windows or casements.

For new openings, the Windowmaster unit consists of the frame, operating hardware and glass, leaving the screen only to be selected elsewhere. In new construction, the manner of furnishing these units is the same as the present method of furnishing window frames, where the frames go to the job first to be set by the carpenters during the raising of the frame work. The operating hardware and glass can be easily installed after plastering.

Replacement units are furnished with all the necessary parts to replace a double hung window or a casement so as not to interfere with existing trim.

The special features offered in the Windowmaster are arousing keen interest among architects, builders and home owners. Included in the many features are: full vision ; automatic lock rvhen louvres are closed tight; glass louvres set in Neoprene rubber for weatherstripping and quiet operation; dual control operating levers, assuring absolute controlled ventilation not obtainable in any other type windor"'; simple operation, which appeals to occupants of all kinds of living quarters as rvell as business, commercial and public buildings. Last, but not least, to consider is low

ffiffi;iffiffiiffi#Hffiil#ffiiffiffiH.#

cost. When compared with the ultimate cost of wood or steel windows with all the fitting, hanging and painting involved, Mr. Coor-Pender believes the cost of Windowmaster units will compare favorably. They may even be found to be lower in cost when compared from the standpoint of light and ventilation area.

These features can all add up to additional profits for those dealers who can see the merchandising possibilities of the Windowmaster units.

Literature, including a complete chart of roughing-in sizes, together with price lists covering all types of wall construction will be mailed upon request. For literature, etc., phone NOrmandy 3-3238.

Annual Meeting of Mahogany Assn., Inc.

The stockholders and the directors of the Mahogany Association, Inc., held their 30th annual meeting at the Sherator-r Hotel in Chicago on January 28 and 29.

The following officers were re-elected :

I'resident, I. T. Williams, partner, Ichabod T. Williams & Sons, New York City;

Vice-President, Harry A. Freiberg, Jr., secretary, Freiberg Mahogany.Company, New Orleans ; Treasurer, Robert P. Thompson, president, Thompson Mahogany Company, Philadelphia;

Secretary-Manager, Geo. N. Lamb, Chicago.

After hearing reports by the officers, the directors approved the largest budget for promotion ever passed by the Association. Special emphasis will be given to the architectural field where the demand for Mahogany has been increasing. This applies both to plywood and to lumber for room paneling in residential and commercial interiors. The Association is planning later in the year to issue a special brochure on Mahogany walls. The Association has been engineering a number of new finishes for Mahogany for use on both traditional and contemporary designs.

The date of the annual meeting was changed to the rronth of October, at which time it is believed that hotel accommodations will be less of a problem.

The proposed advertising schedule will not be released

for a few weeks pending the preparation of basic material in design and finishes.

It was the consensus that Mahogany imports will be less in 1952 than they were in 1950 and 1951 when all-time high records were made. It was considered as unlikely that weather conditions would be as favorable again as they have been for the past two years. It was reported that urore specifications for military use are now being released by war agencies but the volume is still well below the den-rands of World War II.

lnsular's Plant Facilities in Philippines Restored

Production of tropical hardwoods on Negros Island irr the Philippines-Insular Lumber Company's mill at Fabrica, company tor,r'n of 20,000 on the island-had come to a virtual halt rvhen American troops liberated the island after four years of Japanese occupation. Mill facilities had lleen completely destroyed. The town had already suffered considerable damage from U. S. bombers while the nrill rvas occupied by the Japanese.

A $2,500,000 rehabilitation program initiated in 1946 has enabled fnsular to equal prewar production. $300,000 was expended on the planing mill alone. Climax of the planing rnill restoration rvas the installation of a modern StetsonIioss planer, an all electric, eight-ton planer and matcher capable of lvorking 80,000 board feet of lumber per eighthour shift.

The company also improved the performance of Sorn€ trf its older moulders. A Mattison moulder, for example, has had its capacity increased 300 per cent by replacing worn bearings, renerving arbors and installing' new end bells on the motors.

Insular is again shipping kiln-dried finished Philippine nrahogany hardrn'oods to the United States in quantity.

The Insular Lumber Company of Philadelphia, Pa., rvas cstablished in 1904; Henry S. Thompson is president. Henry C. Pope, rvho distinguished himself during the war as a leader at internment camps at Bacolot and Los Banos, is resident manager in the Philippines. The majority of Insular personnel was interned along with Pope and other American and European prisoners of the Japanese. John W. Davev, planing mill superintendent, died during internment. In his place, the company named William J. Hoffrneister, veteran of 35 years in Pacific Northwest millrvork operations.

Insular products in the United States are sold by the Insular Lumber Sales Corporation through the follou'ing distributors: Mahogany Importing Company, Los Angeles; White Brothers, Robert Dollar Company and Davis Harclwood Company, allin San Francisco; Matthews Hardu'oods, Inc., Seattle; Frank Paxton Company, Kansas Citr' : Cotton-Hanlon, Inc., Cayuta, N.

Lumber's "scotland Yard" Booming

By Arthur \(/. Prioulx, Public Relations Director \(/est Coast Lumbermen's Association

Out in the \\rcst Coast I)ougl:Ls fi r ir-rdustry, apparently cverybody loves policemen. Ho'iv else account for the fact that the lumber industry's remarkable "Scotland Yarcl"-the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Iuspections-today boasts its alltime largest membership of supporting mil1s.

Orr January l,1952, this unique organization claimed 501 melnbcrs u'hose combined output of West Coast species accounted for 75/" of all lumber manufactured in the Douglas fir region. This years ago it could nrrmber orrly

\Vhat has caused this rather astounding grorvth ? During the war years, 'ivhen grade-marked lumber brought a preurium ancl many mills s'ar-rted and neecled the servicc of this bureau, membership held about even. The big grou'th has been in the past half a dozen years.

To Holrard L. Brown, veteran of 32 years in the lurrbcr business and general superintendent of \\rCBI-GI, the increasing popularity of the Bureau is a mystery to be solve<l by the original Scotland Yard.

To H. V. Simpson, manager, the grou'th oi the llurcurr rel)rcscnts an increasir-rg acceptance of the irrtegrity of the lJureau grade-nrark throughout the nation an<l continrring confidence in the hand-pickecl 180 inspectors ancl slll)cfvisors rvho make up the stalT.

Sin-rpson pays Bron'n credit for the Bu:-eau's uniformly high standing throughout the lumber manufacturirrg ancl consuming areas.

"Bro\'vr1 has the ideal temperament for this most cliffictrlt post," Simpson pointed out. "He has the highest personal intcgrity and demands the same unassailablc traits irr his rnen. FIe is fair."

Ilest evidence of the high esteem in lr'hich this grading and inspection Bureau is held, Simpson ol'rserves, is the fact that mills lind it easier to sell lumber u'hich is under the supervision of the inspection bureau. Both buyer anrl scller accept the final decisions of this unique organizatiorr l'ithout question. The government recognizes its gradenrark irrtegrity.

The Burean has seven main functions, ancl to financc lhese activities \\rest Coast sau'mills last year spent $1,331.722.67. In addition, mil1s iii the same region spent anothcr large sum in 1951 in support of the Pacific Lnnrber Inspection Bureau whose inspection u'ork is largely in car^',r for export.

Fcw other industries in the nation approach this monururental effort of the West Coast lumber industry to guarar.rtee the uniform quality of its products. The expenditure of nearly $3,000,000 annually by this region to iusure rtn<l maintain quality product controls is one of the highrn'ater marks in industrial honesty.

XIain purposes of the Bureau are:1) to rvrite, adopt ar-rcl rnake available grading rules for the \\rest Coast species; 2) to interpret these rules; 3) to supervise the grading plactices at the member mills so as to insure that the correct standard of grades is maintainecl at all times; 4) to ecltrcate and instruct people in correct grades and grading procedure; 5) to maitain and supervise the correct gradernarking of lumber rvhen its official grade-marks are used; (r) to inspect ancl certify and shipment of \\/est Coast species upon request; and, 7) to reinspect any shipment of West Coast species upcn request.

.\ny manufacturer of West Coast species in the pro<lucing area can be a member of this Bnreau. Ninety per cent cf all lumbcr mlrnufactured in the area is rrnder the supervisicln of a clualificd grading burcan. If not a lnemlrer, any prorlucer in the producing area ()r user of West Coast species can have use of any of the Rureau's services at a reasonable charge. All services of the Bureau are frrrrrisl.recl at cstimated cost. Grarle-marl; stanlps are guarded zealouslv ancl use of these U. S. Government registered symbols is closely supcrvised {or ir.r their proper use lies thc strength of this most linicquc of all industry-fir-ranced police forces.

First efforts to create a uniform sl'stem of grading or.r thc Pacific Coast rvere underta.ken in 1901 and rules adopted at that time became the basis for rules later enlarged and cxpar-rdccl by thc West Coast Lumbern.ren's Association gracling departr-nerrt u'hen it rvas founded in 1911. Thcrc still exists a gra<ling rule book datecl l89S aurl issrred bv California buyers of West Coast specics.

Superintendcnt Bros'n lras a "Little Scotland Yur<l" organization, even to the namcs of his staff members. Directly beneath him is H. H. Bethell, assistant general strperintenclent, 'ivho rvas raisecl rvith a tu'o-by-four in one hand ar.rd a gradir-rg rule book in the other. liight merr serve as clistrict supervisors at eight Bureau offrces scattered rrp and dorvn the Pacific Coast and into the principal consuming areas of the east. Thirty men, with a coml>ined cxperience ir-r lumber of more than 1,0@ years, rnake up the srrpervisorv staff. Still retaining tl-re flavor of Scotland Yard is the next and most llumerous bracket. the 150 inspectors rvho lTandle much of the on-thc-spot u'ork of the Ilurearr.

Brown picks these men from the cream of the crop. They have to be not only good, but superior.

man supervisory staff made 8,467 calls and visits to mills. One purpose of the calls was to educate mill employes. This is done through close personal supervision and intensive training. A training program for mill graders occupies some of their time. Graders are approved to use WCBLGI grade stamps only after they have been checked out three diffe:ent and consecutive times by a Bureau staff member and only after they have proven that they can ruaintain a grading efficiency of at least 95/o which is the allowable tolerance of human error perrnitted.

The lumber industry has taken every possible precaution to insure maximum service to the purchaser of West Coast species. Bureau offices are maintained at Seattle, Eugene. Medford, Los Angeles, Washington and New York, in addition to Portland headquarters. Resident supervisors are maintained the year around at Eureka, California; Kansas City, Missouri; San Francisco; and Chicago.

While the Bureau is the final and sole authority in interpretation of West Coast lumber grading rules, Bureau officials are constantly working to improve and per{ect the rules. Bureau officials work with the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison in a constant series of tests ar-rd samplings to maintain stress and strttctural grade

standards. They consglt with architects and engineers when compiling grading rules.

What many people maybe don't know about modern-day grading rules is that they a:e based on intended use of the particular piece of lumber. There are still appearance grades in the finish and clear items, but now, structural and stress grades are developed on the basis of what they will do in a particular job. Today an engineer and designer or architect knorvs exactly how a given grade of Douglas fir or West Coast hemlock will perform, for irnpartial laboratories have made exhaustive tests. Thanks to these tests, lumber today is an engineering material.

The GI's obstacle-course tune-ups are kid's play compared to the mental gymnastics which Superintendent Brown puts his supervisors through at regular intervals. His inspectors and supervisors are hand-picked from industry, but they must submit to rigid training, frequent examinations, actual grading tests in front of their fellow supervisors. A 1.000 years of critical knowledge watches their every move in these nerve-shattering tests.

Probably the answer to this rapid increase in membership in the famed West Coast Bureau is that the grade-mark has become the Lumber Hall-Mark of integrity.

Accident Prevention Program Recommended Olympic Promotes Saler"Personnel For Logging and Lumber Operations

As a result of a two-day meeting of the Forest Products Section of the California Industrial Safety Conference, a sharp drop in injuries in the lumber and logging industry is expected.

At a meeting in Sacramento on January 2l and 22, with Derby Bendorf, The Pacific Lumber Company, Scotia, co-chairman for management and Martin Balke co-chairman for labor, the Forest Products Section drew up recommendations that it will offer at the conference in San Francisco on February 18 and 19.

A major recommendation is the creation of an accident prevention program for even tl-re smallest lumber or logging or other forest products concern.

The Forest Products Section emphasizes certain desirable features that should be incorporated in a safety prog'ram, particularly the formation ofjoint managementemployee safety committees, with employee participation to be encouraged by rotating membership, to allow the greatest number of employees to do their part in the drive to reduce accidents and injuries.

The Safetv Committee, it recommends, should regularll' inspect all operations, report unsafe working conditions : discuss lvays of preventing a recurrence of injuries; and use films, lectures, and discussion in the effort to save life and limb.

These recommendations will be presented for action to the California Industrial Safety Conference, called by Governor Earl Warren. The conference will cover every industry in the State, and will be well attended by representatives of labor and management.

Olympic Stained Products Company of Seattle has announced the promotion of several key personnel in their sales {orce which is being enlarged in a drive to complete their program of national distribution. The company. formed in 1934, are pioneers in the pre-stained shake industry.

Philip \\r.

New Buildings lor ReedleyLumber Co.

The Reedley Lumber Co.,, Reedley, California, was host to hundreds of friends and friendly customers January 25 at an open house in the new yard and office buildings. Visitors u'ere taken through the new office and store building, 35 feet by 85 feet, which provides half again as much space as did the old one rvhich measured 40 feet by 40 feet.

"We have much better display facilities here than rve had before," says manager E. P. Ruth. "We also have built everything as firep:oof as possible."

E. P. and R. H. Ruth are fire-conscious in their new business home be.cause it r,vas a disastrous fire last June 15 which made the new buildings necessary. The main yarcl and office were completely destroyed in that spectacular blaze.

Now the store and office structure is built of concrete

blocks rvith concrete floor and asbestos roof, and is separated from the lumber sheds by at least 30 feet open space on all sides. The sheds also are roofed rvith asbestos as a sa{eguard against fire.

Another protective measure is the installation of lft-inch water lines throughout the yard rvith fire hose outlets at strategic places.

In rebuilding the yard, the company erected more sheds than it had before and the result is nou' that all first quality lumber is stored under roofs. The only uncovered lumber piles are across the street in an auxiliary yard where the cheaper grades are stored.

Mr. Ruth u.ent into the lumber business on his own in l92l and l.ras served the Reedley community r,vith building materials ever since

Cleared of FTC Charses

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has junked a civil action brought tr,vo years ago by the Federal 'Irade Commission against 15 plyrvood mannfacturers and the industry trade association to rvhich they belong.

The court's decision writes "finis" to an action which grew oLlt of certain technical violations of the FTC Act alleged to have occurred during the pre-r.var years 19351941. This resulted in a ,cease and desist order in 1950, set aside by the decision of the circuit court filed Jan.24.

The decision affects Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association of Tacoma, Wash., and only 15 of the 70 plyrvood manufacturers now in production in Washington, Oregon and California.

Commenting or-r the court's action, O. Schrader. Jr., managing director of the association, said in Tacoma:

"The decision upholds our contention all along that the case is old ar-rd stale and that there isn't anything to 'cease and desist' from. Apparently the court agrees."

Schrader cmphasized that the "sole aim of this association is and always has been creation of demand through quality maintenance and trade promotion for the products of the plywood industry." He added :

"This consists of a promotion campaign which has just been jumped to rvell above a million and a half dollars anriually designed to educate users in the markets and myriad uses for plywood-uses covering the entire construction

fielcl, boats, farm builtlings, factory maintenance, railroad cars and truck manufacture.

"The association also maintains a comprehensive system of quality maintenance to assure high quality of product and a program of product research to develop new technical data on plywood properties."

Two Pioneer San Francisco Concerns Consolidate Their Offices

Announcement is made that the offices of Sudden & Christenson, Inc., and the Christenson Lumber Co. have been consolidated, with M. C. White as manager, and rvith offices and yard at Evans & Quint Streets, San Francisco 24.

The business of the consolidated concerns is largely rvholesale and jobbing, and the percentage of wholesale is increasing. This yard is nolv carrying the only large stock of timbers in the San Francisco Bay district. The stock incltrdes a good assortment of redwood timbers up to 24 feet long. The inventory carried by the yard has been increased to between 4l and 5 million feet.

Al Bell, Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco, returned recently from a business trip to San Diego and Mexico. He visited the company's representative Carl Gavotto in San Diego, and accompanied him on a trip over the territory, r.vhich included a visit to Mexico.

Wood Used in Manufacture in California in 1948

By Richard H. May, Foresrer Division oI Forest Economics Californio Forest and Range Experiment Station*

California apparently norv leads the Nation in the manufacture of fabricated wood products. In 1948, this State ttsed I,227 million board feet of lumber, veneer, and bolts. In second and third places were Ner,v York with 869 million board feet and Washington with 735 million board feet. Other leading states, each of rvhich used over 500 million board feet, rvere (4) Illinois, (5) Michigan, (6) Oregon, (7) Ohio, (8) Pennsylvania, (9) North Carolina, and (10) Wisconsin. These ten accounted for 52 per cent of all rvood used in the United States in manufacture in 1948.

These facts and other useful and interesting information are found in "\,Vood Used in Manufacture, 1948" published in May, 1951 by the Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, as the result of an extensive survey made in 1949. The basic data in the accompanying tables are taken from this publication and condensed for the use of persons interestecl in California statistics,

Major nation-rvi<le uses of n'ood in manufacture are for containers (excluding cooperage), 34 per cent; milln'ork, 16 per cent; and furniture, 16 per cent. California led all states in the use of wood for .containers, was second to Washington in millwork, and fourth, aftcr three Eastern states. in the use of wood for furniture.

Table 1 presents the volume of lumber used in manufacture by species. arranged in descending order of use in California. Also shown for 'comparison is the total amotlnt of each listed species used in the United States. It u'ill be noted that the six major species used in California are softwood (coniferous) species native to the State. Except for Douglas-fir, most of the volume is prr-rbably logged and sawed u'ithin the State. Ponderosa pine is by far the leading species, comprising 50 per cent of all lumber used in manufacture in California. The hardwoods are largely from the East, with very littlc of the hardrvood volume being cut rvithin the State.

California used 9 per cent of all the lumber used in manufacture in the United States in 1948, including 94 per cent of tlre incense .cedar and 73 per cent of the rvhite fir. Other species high in per cent of total U. S. use rvere : sugar pine, 47 per cent; rechvood, 41 per cent; alder, 4O pcr cent.

Table 2 presents the volume of lumber used in manufacture by product. California followed the national pattern in the order of its three most important products on a volume basis, these being containers, milhvork, and furn iture.

California manufacturers nsed 94 per cent of the lumber going into pencils and penholders in the United States. California rnas also a major user of rvood for tanks (29 percent), matches (27 per cer-rt), and venetian blinds (20 per cent).

Table 3 shows volume of veneer (including plywood) used in manufacture in California by principal species and by major products. Douglas-fir was the primary veneer species, with Ponderosa pine second. Two-thirds of the Ponderosa pine veneer used in manufacture in the United States rvas consumed in California.

Containers led all products in the consumption of veneer in California, with fixtures, millwork, and furniture next in order.

California used 10 per cent of all veneer used in manufacture in the United States in 1948, including 67 per cent of that used in electrical equipment. Other products high in per cent of total United States use of veneer lvere fixtures, 27 per cent; and millrvork, 18 per cent.

The amount of wood used in the form of bolts by California manufacturers was relatively insignificant. It anrounted to only 471,Offi board feet lumber equivalent, or l/10 ol I per cent of the U. S. total of 410,959,000 board feet for bolts.

Colorado, Nevada and \(/yoming Join' Trce Farm Program

Washington, D.C.-The American Tree Farm System welcomed three new member states as 1951 drew to a close. They were Colorado, Nevada and Wyoming. The three states came in under the Western Pine Association's banner during the Tree Farm program's tenth anniversary year, bringing Tree Farm enrollment to 33. The program is encouraged nationally by Americar-i Forest Products Industries with headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Nevada's first certificates went to Fibreboard Products, Inc., owners of the l2,784acre Floriston Tree Farm in Washoe County, and Sierra Pacific Power Company's Tahoe-Sierra Tree Farm of 14,450-acres. Only 200 acres of this property are in Nevada.

Colorado's first Tree Farm certificate went to Broderick Wood Products Co., of Denver, f.or a 3,200-acre woodland tract in I-arimer County.

Wyoming's first Tree Farm is a 240-acre tract in Carbon County owned by N. A. Swenson, coal and woodland operator.

USE BY SPECIES

His objective is continuous production of forest crops through wise management anC planned harvests.

All four properties were inspected and approved by the Western Pine Association's forest practices committees in accord with standard certifying procedure. Certification announcement was made in Portland, Ore., by E. L. Kolbe, chief forester for the association. District forest engineers helping process applications r,"ere Ralph Hodges, for the Nevada area, and Arthur T. Upscn, for Colorado and Wyoming.

Fibreboard Products'new Tree Farm lies just north of Lake Tahoe bordering the California line. C. L. Morey is manager of the firm's timber division. The Sierra Pacific Power Company's tract is operated and managed by the Tahoe Timber Co., of Reno. Long range management plans foi the traci have been outlined by C. E. Favre and John Ohlsen, of the timber company and F. K. Tracy of the power firm.

Manager S. A. Tait, of Broderick Wood Products Co., has an intensive tree-crcpping program in action on Colorado's first Tree Farm. All cutting operations are on a thinnning basis. Stumps are never more than 12 inches high. Young growth is protected, Brush is scattered and all firds are suppressed. Part of the a.rea is under lease from the Union Pacific Railroad. Currenth' timber harvests go into various treated items. The Broderick Wood Products Co. is expanding into sawing and treating of lumber.

Bill Chantland, "Hank Quentmeyer, and Bill Chantland, Jr., P. W. Chantland & Associates, Los Angeles, made an air trip to Portland and Klamath Falls where they called on the mills.

Eligible for the programmed housing in this area are the in-migrant defense workers or military and civilian personnel of the follorving defense establishments in thc lurea: Camp San Luis Obispo.

Of the 400 housing units programmed for the Camp Roberts-Camp Cooke area, 250 are to be rental and 150 sales housing. Of the rental units, 50 are programmed as onebedroom units with a maximum monthly rent of $60.00, 165 as two-bedroom units with a maximum rent of $67.50, and 35 as units of three or more bedrooms lyith a maximum rent of $75.00. Of the sales units, 75 are programmed as trvo-bedroom units with a maximum price of $8500.00 and 75 as ur-rits containing three or more bedrooms rvith a maxinrum price of $9500.00.

In order that the housing constructed under the program may most nearly meet the needs of eligible defense workers (and military personnel) in the area, the FHA office rvill :rppl'ove applications of builders on a selective basis. taking into consideration the following factors:

1. The proximity of the site of the proposed housing to thc establishments where eligible rvorkers are employed, arrd the desirability of the site n'ith respect to transportation, commercial ancl community facilities and services, utilities, street improvements, and similar relevant factors.

2. The rents or sales prices proposed to be charged. the siz.e of the units in terms of the number of rooms and bedroon.ls proposed to be provided, and the relationship betl'een the accommodations proposed and the proposecl rent or salcs prices.

3. The capacity of the applicant to perform the underlaliing for which he is applying for assistance.

When a builder's application is approved, he rvill receive a ccrtificate of inclusion in the defense housing Program for the number and types of l-rousing units allotted to him. This certificate carries rvith it the privilege of relaxed credit controls, eligibility-subject to requirements of the National Housing Act-for Title IX FHA mortgage insurance, and eligibility for participation in the Federal Natior-ral Mortgage Association purchase set aside for the FFIA-irrsured or VA-guarantee<l mortfTages on programmed rlcfcr,se housing.

The builder of either rental or sales housing for rvhich l certificate has been issued rvill be allon'ed sixty d;rys in l'hich to start construction, a period rvhich can be extcnded by the FHA office if justifiable reason is given for [:rilrrre to proceed. If a builder's approval becomes void lrccause of failure to start construction, the units may be approved by the FHA for construction by another builder.

Under the terms of the Defense Housing and Community liacilities and Services Act, if r,vithin ninety days after this lnnorrncement private builders or eligible mortgagees have rrot, through bona fide applications for Federal Assistance provided for defense housing, indicated that they u'ill provide the housing programmed for the area, the Federal Governrnent may proceed to provide permanent housing as lrecessary to meet the unfilled needs of defense n'orkers and military personnel

Application blanks may be secured from the Federal Housing Administration offices at 172 W. 9th Street, Los Angeles, and 735 State Street, Santa Barbara, California.

Sometimes

Across the fields of yesterday, He sometimes comes to me, A little lad just back from playThe lad I used to be.

And yet he smiles so wistfully, Once he has crept within, I wonder if he hopes to see The man I might have been.

-Thomas S. Jones Jr.

What Is the MesscAe You Bring

By Thomas Dreier

Whether you are the head of the office or only one of the workers, you are responsible for what you bring into the place when you start a new day.

Do you come in with a smil'e, a liaugh, a hearty greeting, an expression of joy? Or do you look like someone who has eaten a green persimmon, lost all your friends, or become the victim of an attack of dyspepsia?

The boss, as always, carries the heaviest load of responsibility because he has more power to help or hurt. If he comes in with a warm greeting and a smiling face, all staff members will feel an uplift. If, on the other hand, he comes in with a black scowl and begins slamming things around and barking commands in an ill-natured voice, the office day will get off to a bad start.

Good times and good business start with good manners.

A Dillerent Girl

The teen-age lad had just come home from summer eamp, and he said to his mother:

"I met a girl who is really different, Mom."

"In what way?" inquired his mother.

"Well, for one thing," explained the lad, "'she can stay under water for one minute and twenty sgs6nds."-Jhs Vagabond.

The Viewpoint Feminine

"f have a friend I want you to meet," said the young man to the bevy of youthful femininity. Quickly they rose to the bait.

"What can he do?" asked the athletic girl.

"F{ow much is he worth?" asked the chorus girl.

"What does he read?" asked the literary girl.

"Who are his people?" asked the society girl.

"Which is his church?" asked the religious girl.

"Where is he?" asked the old maid.

, Fcmrilicr Things

It is familiar things that rest the heart, Blue, braided rugs, sunlit upon the foor, One pine, one star, the dusk has set apart, And laughter filtering through a neighbor's door; A woodland path the feet have often followed, And kittens purring through the noon, and books; An old, old air upon a violin, The lovely birth and dying of the year, A house serene and orderly within, And someone speaking gentl'e words, and dear.

-Elaine Emans.

Floyd Gibbons on LiIe

"We live to learn, that we may learn to live. We welcome good books as we welcome good friends. We hunger for knowledge that will broaden our mental horizon and dig deep into the well of learning for a better understanding of interesting people. We follow unknown jungle trails and tramp burning deserts that we nuly see, hear, and know. We bend every effort for a fuller, richer, happier life. Yet how little effort we put forth for a safer life."

Printing

Henry P. Porter wrote: "Printing is a good business. ft is clean, honorabl'e, respectable. It is celebrated as a trainer of men for higher stations in life. It has many inspiring traditions and legends. It combines the need for knqwledge of everything under the sun: mathematics, mechanics, language, spelling, grammar, color, composition, salesmanship, there is indeed no limits to the accomplishments that are required of a printer. The printer is brought into contact with all other vocations and professions. No vocation or profession can really exist without the printing press. From textbooks to novels, from pamphlets to newspapers, from tickets to tax billb, no man can evade the printed word.t'

Misunderstcnding

The two colored brothers in the jailhouse were talking things over.

"Boy," said one, "how come you got in dis jailhouse, anyhow?"

"FI'it was jus' a misunderstandin'."

Douglas Fir Door Industry Advisory Committce Meets with OPS Officials

Provisions of a proposed tailored regulation for their industry were discussed today by members of the Douglas Fir Door Industry Advisory Committee at their first meeting with OPS officials.

It is proposed to spell out dollars-and-cents ceilings on standard grades and dimensions of doors, including house doors, cupboard doors, French and rim doors, garage doors, solid exterior doors and hollow core doors. The regulation would cover manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest Douglas fir area.

Committeemen recomhended that doors made of hemlock, spruce and certain other fir species be included in the regulation for doors made of Douglas fir, which is the predominant species. Members suggested that the regulation be drafted especially for manufacturers, and that resellers be covered by other regulations.

Committeemen checked over in detail provisions of MPR 44, the war-time Office of Price Administration regulation covering such doors, which they said would provide a logical pattern for a new regulation. Committeemen reported that the industry was still pricing by discounts applied to the basic price lists set up by the old regulation. They suggested that prices in the new regulation be determined l:y specified discounts applied to the same basic prices.

The problem of pricing hollow core doors, because of the lack of uniform industry-wide specifications, was discussed.

Committeemen said it would not be realistic to determine ceilings on doors before ceilings are fixed on the raw materials, plywood and shop lumber. They said even if OPS fixes ceilings on these materials, as planned, at approximately the l€vels prevailing under the General Ceiling Price Regulation, th'biE GCPR ceilings on doors would still not cover recent increEmp in labor co*.

of board feet to a tree. After estimating the tree, this figure was multiplied by the number of trees on the acre, and the result multiplied by 640, the number of acres in a section.

Pine and Prairie .

On a high bluff of the Au Sable River in Michigan there is a monument to the greatness of the past of Lake States lumbering, in a group of three giant figures in bronze. It is a work of art that revives the great days of the Michigan pineries for all 'ivho see it.

Michigan's lumber history illustrates that two Lake States-Wisconsin and Minnesota.

This was the shrewdest practice of the land-looker. Of course, he was not always so circumspect. In a rush cruise of a vast area of timberland the cruiser would frequently estimate the pines from the crown of a hilltop tree, making aerial surveys. He had to be a man of keen judgment and resourceful mind, woods wise, and with a back and legs of iron. The land-looker was the trail-tamer of Michigan.

of the other Committee Appointed To Carry Out

Twenty-five million acres of timber were harvested in Michigan over a period approximating a century' The state's first san'mill was built at Flint in 1830. Hundreds of small mills rose in the hardr,voods of Southern Michigan in the following decade.

The white pine harvest did not start in force until 1850. By that time settlers were staking out homes on the treeless prairies. Old Fort Dearborn had become Chicago the City. The riches of the black soil of Ior,va, less sensational but more enduring than the gold of the Sierras, rvere discovered. The prairies 'ivanted towns and homes. The pines of Michigan, \\Iisconsin and Minnesota I'vere the sotlrce of material.

The Old Saginaw. .

By 1855 tl-re Saginaw valley w'as flourishing as the lumber capital of the Mid-West. In 1880 the region was the world's greatest lumber center. Year of 1888 the piney valley produced more than a billion feet of sarved lumber. In the decade of the 188Os the entire state produced an average of three and one-half billion feet of pine lumber per year. At Cheboygan a sawdust mountain grerv sixty feet high a.nd covered ten acres.

In 1890 the gold image of "the inexhaustible forest" 'ivas fading before the inexorable fact of millions of acres of fire-blackened stump lands. The end 'i'i'as in sight. There u'ere still, horvever, 7@ logging camps, employing 25,000 men. In 1910, there rvere ten camps, with crervs totaling 500 men in Michigan.

And year after year settlers burned seed trees that have been left in logging, and burned new tree grorvth, in vain efforts to farm and graze land that was fit for nothing but the growing of trees.

The Land Looker

The true pioneer in the Lake States was the land-looker, the woodsman of compass and book. His creu'u'ould hike to an assigned district, nsually toting enough supplies to last t'il'o or three t'eeks.

The first job rvas to locate the stakes of the government survey and discover the variations of the north and south lines. From a stake, compass in hand, the cruising land looker marched. He counted his paces, five hundred for eighty rods, two thousand for one mile. Sure of the boundaries of a section as marked in the g'overnment map, the cruiser would then estimate the timber in the se,ction.

An average track some tn'o hundred feet square rvas paced off, about an acre. The trees in the piot rvere counted and some of them scaled to get an average of the number

R. W. Dclion (lett) is congrcrtulcted qnd welcomed into the siockholder lamily bV A, I, Gock, chcrirmon oI the bocrd oI directors oI the Bank of America,

Because he bought 100 shares of stock in the Bank of America, lumberman R. W. Dalton, of R. W. Dalton & Co., San Marino, California, today (January 28) found himself feted by the bank's chairman of the board A. J. Gock and other business leaders in Los Angeles.

Dalton's purchase made him the 200,000th stockholder. As this established a record for widespread ownership of any private enterprise bank, anywhere, and provides a shining example of democratic capitalism in action, a special observance seemed in order.

Dalton, who began r,vork in a lumber yard when he was 17, worked 22 years in various capacities, then invoked his American right to go into business for himself. He pros1>ered, he said today, with the help of his bank and then decided to enjoy another American right-to share in the ownership of that bank through the purchase of stock. "I have been a customer for years, now it feels good to be on the ownership side as well," he declared.

Gock was assisted as host to Dalton at a prominerrt l-os Angeles club by President Terrell C. D:inkwater, of Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and by President W. G. Paul, of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange, plus a number of bank officials.

Dalton learned from them that the average number of shares owned by the 200,000 stockholders of the world's l:rrgest bank is 120. This ownership is so widespread that no individual owns more than 2/l}ths of one per cent of the total, a little knorvn fact. 144,00O of these stockholders live in California, and Gock said: "I am happy to go into any one of the more than 300 California communities where our bank has branches and find more local Bank of America owners than any other bank."

Full ownership of the bank, which started in 1904 with $150,000 and now has total resources of $7.5 billion is held, Gock revealed, by i93,815 individuals and 6,185 institutions, the latter including labor, fraternal and fiduciary organizations, foundations, investment trusts, insurance companies, and savings banks.

Two Lumber Yard Fires qt San Berncrdino

There were two lumber yard fires at San Bernardino the night of January 29. Building materials and equipment valued at $75,000 were lost in a fire at the Suverkrupt Lumber Co. At the same time the Suverkrupt fire was reported, tu'o fire companies were at the Chapin Lumber Co. where a blaze was extinguished causing minor damage.

On the theory the two fires could be more than coincidence, Fire Chief Dwight E. Littleton assigned fnspector Harry E. Wainright and Assistant Fire Prevention Engineer Floyd Bristow to check the possibilities of arson.

Arthur Denny, formerly in the wholesale lumber business for himself, is now with Christenson Lumber Co., San Francisco, calling on industrial and yard trade.
