National Lumber Manufactu rers Association lssues Statement o] Policy

The National Lumber i\fanufacturers Association has just done a very intelligent thing; it has issued in printed form a statement concerning its policies and philosophies, so that all may understand. The statement begins as follol's:

"The competitive pril'ate enterprise svstem has brought to the American people the highest standard of living in the s'orld. It has constantly and progressivelr- provided better products at lon'er costs. Through it \\'e have, achieved greater freecloms. privileges. and opportunities than those knou'n to other nations. The NLI\'I-\ believes u.holeheartedly in this system rvhich is dependent upon prirrate olrnership. It must be presen'ed. Improvement in its operation should be sought constantl.v. but never at the expense of freedoms. privileges, and opportunities u'hich private enterprise alone offers.

"In a republic, the government exists for the people, and nrust be directed by the people. \\re abhor the tendencr- of many of those in government to reverse this frrndamental concept and endeavor to impose government on the people and to direct their actions. Steadily there has been fostered a false concept that all problems must be turnecl over to the federal government for solution, that private initiative. individual responsibility, and sound legal principles can no longer meet our requirements. Adherence to the principles and fundamentals of competitive prit'ate enterprise, rrith individual initiative and responsibility, rvill provide a better and more lasting solution of our economic problems than government regimentation in any form.

"It is abundantly clear that the principles of competitir-e private enterprise cannot exist side b1' side u'ith the federal government dictating industrial operating policy. the terms of "collective bargaining" agreements, \\'age and price policies, or any of the other myriad forms of control. This Nation has alrvays sanctioned and encouraged the profit motive. Personal economic reu'ard has been iound the best means to induce the ultimate productive efforts of men. The subtle, subversive and even open attempts to discredit and abolish our system must be vigorouslv opposed.

"Our competitile private enterprise s)'stem rvhich has so successfullv met the needs of the nation in the past rvill continue to meet the difficult economic. social, and political problems oi today. No foreign nation's economic or political system has been able to produce an equivalent standard of living. achieve a like equalitv of justice. or afford the same protection of fundamental human rights as our o\\'n. Chaotic conditions prei'alent in manl' foreign countries are evidence of the degeneration of the moral fibre of nations u'hich have failed to cherish and protect their freedoms. \Ve must uphold our system and avoid foreign ideologies rvhich are productive onlv of internal strife and class u'arfare."

The statement then discusses Economic Controls, Price Controls, Government Competition. Forest Policy, Housing and Construction, Finance and Fiscal Matters, Social Security, Labor Relations. \\'age-Hour Larv, Transportation, etc.

Rent controls are condemned as an obstacle to housing construction. Price controls are condemned as fundamentalll' unsound.

That the Government "should neither o\{n nor operate business, industrial concerns. or plants in competition "rrith private enterprises, is so stated.

"\\re are opposed to federal regulations of private forest practices and federal control oi State forest policies," is stated next.

\\'ith regard to construction. it is stated that: "The construction industr-v provides employment for more than trvo million persons. It is vitally important that this industry be healthv and flourishing if the nation is to enjo-v a prosperous, thriving econom)', rvith a high level of employment. \\"e belier-e that this goal can best be achieved through competitise private enterprise."

\Vith regard to taxes. it states: "The only legitimate purpose of taxation is to raise revenue for necessary go\'ernment expenses. Taxation is not a proper device for redistributing s'ealth, or for the accomplishment of social (Continued on Page 14)

In American history innumerable memorable words and phrases have been written and spoken in cormection with Presidential inauguration ceremonies. Only recently the whole nation stood at attention when General Ike was inaugurated as our 34th President. Splendid woids were spoken on this great occasion. *

All of which brings to mind the historical fact that perhaps the most eloquent and appealing words ever pcnned in connection with a Presidential inauguration, were those of a woman. She was Abigail Adams, wife of President John Quincy Adams. It is meet and just that Americans should continue to be thrilled by her words, for they were indeed historical.

Many historians are of the opinion that Abigail Adams was a much more gifted person than her better advertised husband, the President. She was one who hid her light under a bushel. She did not advertise, yet history notes that she was very brilliant, very wise, very devoted. ***

When her husband was inaugurated President, she did not attend the ceremony, but stayed at home to shower him with her good thoughts. And on that very day she sent him a letter so wise and wonderful that it belongs in American history. Put it in your scrapbook, and you will 6nd little else there to compare it with, regardless of other contents. Here is what she wrote:

"My thoughts and my meditations are with you, though personally absent; and my petitions to heaven are that the things that make for peace may not be hidden from your eyes. My feelings are not those of pride or ostentation upon the occasion. They are solemnizedby a sense of the obligations, the important trusts, the numerous duties connected with it. That you may be enabled to discharge them with honour to yourself, with justice and impartidity to your country, and with satisfaction to this great people, shall be the daily prayer of your Abigail Adams."

Many and remarkable prayers and petitions for peace have been uttered in recent years by good and true men, but it is doubtful that anything printed or spoken surpasses for magnificence of words and phraseology Aibgail Adams

pl'ea "that the things that make for peace may not be biddeo from your eyes." What a text! What a prayer! What a woman! *

We might all well pray that "the things that malc for peace may not be hidden from" the eyes of our new Prcrident. For that would be the grcatest gift thb devotcd man could hand to this nation and to thc world; a formula for peace. All else is secondary in importance. And that ir tAe universal feeling and opinion of tte mcn and worncn of this nation. We read and hcar cvcry day of the doings in oficial Washington of tte new organization that heads thir government; and every one of us instinctivety and automatically asks this question: "Havc they a workable forrnula for peace?" Nothing clsc rcally matterr.

+af

The busin*srnen of this nation "lilre lke." They Lnor that for thc first time in twcnty long yean, thcrc il a good chance that we will have a fricndly atmosphcrc for businer in the national administration. It would probably provoke no argument from anyone to statc that we bave had twenty years of government in Washington tbat bar becn continuously anti-business. Roocevelt didikcd businccr and businessmen, and Eade no cffort to conced hir feclings. Truman has leaned in practicdly tte samc direction- Hir much advertised failurc to run a small busincs rucccrrfulln stuck in his craw. + * *

It has been said innumcnble tirnes that there arc jurt two ways for a man to get a iob. Onc is to go into busincs for himself, thc other to go to work for somconc e!rc. Thc latter of coursc furnishes the huge majority of joba T'hc mo.st important man in our entire domestic pictue is the job-maker. We have 63 milliqp of people gainfully employed at the present time becausc wc lravc tens of thousands of'men who makc it thcir businca to crcate iobc for others. But for the past twenty years that most important man, the job-maker, has been hctd in low estccm in the United States. We hcard an economic authority say the other day that the reason there were still 12 milliom men unemployed in the United Statcs when tte Sccond World War started, was because Rooscvelt refused to recognize and mechanize the importance of tae job-maker. It was not until the war came dong that tbe millions of unemployed found jobs. * * *

There is a general feeling among the business people of the nation ttat we now have a President who understafids the facts of business and economic lifc, and who will understand the importance of planng ball with business;

"My petitions to heaven are that the things that make for peace may not be hidden from your eyes."

with the job.makers. fn facd, the odds are both long and strong that Ike will like business as business likes Ike. And that means prosperity "j al. substantial sort.

In a few days we observe the birthday of George Washington, who was and will always be "the father of his country;" "first in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of his countr5rmen" as "Lighthorse" Harry Lee (the father of Robert E. Lee) so marvelously said. He was a very great man. When his country needed him he gave her every ounce of his strength, devotion, and magnificent leadership. And when'the emergency ended he went back to his people and his home, denying all declarations that he was an "ireplaceable man." lle knew this to be a great nation, even in its infancy; and he knew that God would provide men of wisdom and devotion to take up where he left off. Which was one of the chief proofs of his greatness. No man can be truly great in yn?- the powerJust holds sway.

Washington wrote a personal letter to his great French friend Lafayette at the end of the war, in which he said: "At length I am become a private citizen, and under the shadow of my own vine and fig tree, far from the bustle of a camp and the busy scenes of public life, I am solacing myself with those tranquil enjoyments of which the soldier can have little conception. Envious of none, I am determined

to be pleased with all. And this, my friend, bcing the order of my march, I will move gently down the stream of life until I sleep with my fathers." True greatnegs shinee through those words of Washington. He was a man mountainhigh'

At the time of his death Washington owncd l2,l sl,aves, yet he did not believe in slavery. He wrote Robcrt Morris: "There is no man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery." His will provided that at the death of his wife thc slavcs should all be freed. When she learned of his will she sct \ them free immediately. The dyrng words of Washington were "It is well." A fitting epitaph for so great a [fe.

May we repeat ir, "r*ir,i ;. *t old, many times told, but always delightful story about the bright-faced little colored boy who was shining a gentleman's shocs. The gentleman asked what his name was. "Gawgc Washington, Suh," said the little boy. "George \f,/6hington?" "Y6, Suh," said the small one, grinning. "And," said ttre man, "Do you always try to be like him?" "Lak wbo, Suh?" asked the boy. "Like George Wasbington," the man said. "Suh," said the boy, "Ah jest caint hcp bcing lak Gawgc Washington-case dass who Ah is."

Eureka, January 14-Robert W. Matthews of Eureka rvas elected president of the Redu'ood Region Conservation Council at its annual meeting at the Eureka Inn, Eureka, January 10. In his acceptance speech Matthervs pledged the Council to the aim: "One Ntillion Trees in '53." He called for public support to see that one million nel trees, fir and redwood, are started grou'ing this year in the redu'ood region.

Matthews pledged the support of the Council to perpetuating the timber industry in the region, from Santa Cruz County to the Oregon border, assuring sustained production and a permanent tax base.

Other officers elected were: Philip T. Farnss'orth, San Francisco, executive vice-president; Ben S. Allen, San Francisco, secretary; and F. C. Riley, Eureka, treasurer. E. T. F. Wohlenberg, Ukiah, is the retiring president of the group.

Directors elected u'ith terms expiring in 1956 rvere: Wohlenberg, Riley, Sherman A. Bishop, San Francisco, and E. E. Carriger, Santa Cruz. Larry I\farshall, Arcata, lvas appointed to serve on the executive committee.

Two directors were elected rvith terms expiring in 1954: A. E. Galli, Cloverdale, and Henry Trobitz, Klamath. They u'ill fill vacancies caused by the resignation of Ed Lessard, San Francisco, and Jack Fairhurst, Eureka.

Marvin Krei, chairman of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, and Robert }fadsen, I\fayor of Eureka, u'elcorned the 60-odd members of the Council in behalf of Humboldt County and the City of Eureka.

Guest speakers included W. D. Pine, Eureka, Humboldt County Farm Advisor; Richard Gearhart, Portland, representative of American Forest Products Industries and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association; George B. I\[cLeod, San Francisco, chairman of the California Reds'ood Association conservation committee, and Dr. Hon.rer P. Balabanis, Dean of Instruction, Humboldt State College, Arcata.

Pine traced the development of the recent study of timber depletion made by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and his report r,r'hich follorved. As a result of the report, he said, a committee has been formed to study the forest problem in the county. The group hopes to be able

to hire a consulting forester in the future to set up a plan for sustained timber production.

Gearhart and I\IcLeod emphasized the fact that the Redrvood Region Conservation Council rvas dedicated to the conservation of all region forest resources, including fir as u'ell as redu'ood. Gearhart said that the Council rvas unique in the entire nation, in that it tvas the only known organization rvhich brought the general public and representatives of an industry together dedicated to a common objective, conservation.

The Council meeting consisted of committee sessions at l0 A.N{. and a general meeting of directors and members at 2 P.M. Committee chairmen rvere as follows: fire prevention, Henry Trobitz; forest management, A. O. Lefors, Samoa; program, Walker B.

Several resolutions rvere adopted by the Council in its general afternoon session. The group commended W. D. Pine, Humboldt County Farm Advisor, for his "thoughtprovoking" study of county forest conditions and urged that the county Board of Supervisors appropriate the necessary funds to implement the rvork of the nervly-formed committee to study forest conditions.

Cotl C. Crow---"This Was A M.n"

Carl C. Crow died the other day.

To those who have known him long and u'ell. it hardlv seems possible that.Carl could be dead. He \\'as so rugged, so. vital, so thoroughly unafraid, so forceful in evervthing he did, that he gave one the imprdS'sion of being indet'Ttt*.f;.

by the name of Shakespeare-although centuries before Carl Crou' u'as born-splendidly described him lr'hen he wrote: "THIS WAS A MAN." For in everlfashion by which you could weigh and measure a manCarl was one.

And on that 26th day of January, 1953, u'hen Carl Cros' breathed his last in a hospital in Portland, Oregon, rvhere he made his home, the lumber industry of the entire nation lost a friend r,r'ithout a flaw, a champion rrithout a fear. You might not agree with everything he rvrote in his volatile, hard-knocking, eloquent, driving fashion. but you always respected him for his honesty and loved him for his humanness.

He had the brains to generate pou'erful and interesting opinions, and the force of character to help him carry through with them. He never rode a fence in his life on anv subject. He looked, talked, and wrote in the most rugged fashion. And, to top it all, he had as grand a sense of

humor as any n'ran that er-er lived. And horv he loved his friends ! That, of course, is rvhv he has so many of them; faithful, tireless, rvorking friends. \\'ith Carl, friendship \\'as an obligation to do sorrrething for the other fellorvh. ,u", honorable, he u'as useful, he rvas lovable.

Carl C. Crorv rvas born -\ugust 23rd, 1882, at Lane. Kansas, his father being a lumber and hardware dealer at that place. He rvent to Portland, Oregon, about fiftv years ago, and s'ent to s'ork in the lumber business. He rvorked at times for different sarvmill concerns, tried rvholesaling lumber on his orvn hook for a time. and then. in 1921. he started the business to rvhich he devoted the rest of his life. His first publication rvas Crou''s Pacific Coast Lumber Digest. Then he launched Crorv's Index, rvhich later became Cros''s Buyers and Sellers Guide. ln 1933 Crorv's Weekl-v Letter $'as started, and in 1935 Cros''s Price Reporter. He continued to run this very large business personallv until his fatal illness struck him dorvn just three months ago.

His survivors are his rridotv ; a son Richard, of Portland; a brother, Gu;r E. Crorv ; trvo sisters; and three grandchildreri. Mrs. I\I. L. ("Duke") Euphrat. of San Francisco, is a sister to Carl C. Crorv.

FHA Should Be Permitted To Inrure Moftsases Up To $2O000

Washington, lan. 25-FHA should be-permitted by Congress to insure mortgages up to $20,0(D to enable families needing larger homes to obtain the benefits of mortgage insurance, H. R. Northup, executive vice president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated yesterday.

"The existing limit of $14,000 being enforced by FHA, although Congress has authorized loans up to $16,Ofi), is preventing many growing families from obtaining a suitable home in view of today's building costs," Mr. Northup said.

"There is no good reason why the benefits of mortgage insurance should be made available only to those rvho do not need a large home or are satisfied rvith a smaller one, especially in view of the fact that the FHA mortgage insurance program is self-supporting and requires no federal subsidy.

"In many cases, these larger families need the benefits of lorver dorvn payments and lorver monthly payments even more than do the smaller families rvhich can live in less costly homes.

"There also is no reason rvhy dorvn payment requirements on larger homes should be several times as gteat as for smaller ones. A reduction in the amount of dorvn pa1'ment required for larger homes rvould put better housing rvithin the reach of many more families rvho live on modest incomes.

"Despite the fact that one out of every six American families are living in nerv homes built in the last seven years, there still are millions rvho are eager to enjoy the advantages of better housing but have not been able to save up enough to pa) 30 to 4O per cent or more of the cost at the time of purchase."

engaged in timber trucking in its relations rvith public agencies, local, State and Federal.

Mr. Holmes, Association president, in an explanatory statement, said:

"California has the largest remaining stand of virgin timber in the United States and its timber operations are growing every year. These timber operations involve trucking between rvoods and mills, some on public highn'ays.

"The highways in the forest areas, constructed'to the standards of a decade or two ago, are being called on to carry the traffic of a population which has.almost doubled and this increasing-timber traffic as well.

"It therefore seems to us only common sense and good neighborliness to get in and do our part in making travel on these highways as safe, efficient and pleasant as we can until more adequate highrvays are provided, rvhile still doing our job of getting out timber to meet the nation's lumber needs.

"This we shall do by policing ourselves, by cooperating with others, by emphasizing safety and driver courtesy and by other activities in keeping with the Association's announced purposes.

"The Association will welcome more members from the industry."

Two American Boys and The Seventh Fleet An Editorial

The top talking point among the nations of the world today is Ike's announcement that he is withdrawing the U. S. Seventh Fleet from patrolling the waters between Formosa and the Chinese Mainland.

You will hear and read many discussions of that action by our new President. Which brings to mind a terrific argument against our protection of the Chinese mainland. It was uttered in one of his political speeches during the campaign last October', by Senator Joe McCarthy, of Wisconsin. He was bitterly opposed to the patrol, and in telling why, he recited the following:

Two American boys, brothers, are in our armed services, one a sailor in the Seventh Fleet, the other a soldier in the army in Korea. The sailor's duty is to see that the endless procession of ships hauling supplies, ammunition, and munitions through the straits between Formosa and China are not interfered with by Chiang's ships or planes.

New Greenville Mill

The Meadou' Valley Lumber Companr', tif Quincy, California, has started operations at its netv mill at Greenville, operated under the name of the Calvada Lumber Company. Production of 20 million jeet zrnnually from a heavy band and resarv, u'ill be seasoned and processed at the Meadorv \/allev plant at Ouincv.

Along comes a munition ship heading Northward through the straits toward the Communist ports on Korea. The Seventh Fleet sees to it that the ship gets through without interference. And so one of the brothers helps that ship carry guns and bullets to the Commies; the guns and bullets that WILL KILL HIS BROTHER.

Senator McCarthy told that story in such a way that his audience sat breathless and open-mouthed, as they thought of the dreadful implications of what he said. Here was one American boy in his line of duty, lending a protective hand to those who would kill his brother.

The writer of this piece heard that speech over the radio. It was not nationally broadcast, and McCarthy used no script, just turned loose his terrific natural oratory. And, when he does that. he is so much the finest orator in the nation today that there isn't any second.

During.his summer vacations he worked in the fruit packing sheds in the Modesto area nailing boxes and handling fruit. It was while working in the packing sheds that Ralph became interested in the shook distribution business and in 1935 he, secured a. job with the Stockton Box Distributors in their Modesto

,warehouse. He worked seasonally at this job for three years

and then in 1939 moved to Turlock'to'become bookkeeper in th Turlock warehouse of the Stoclton Box Disttibutors. In 19.3 the Stocktoh Box Company thought they could usc him to better advantage at their factory at Stockton. In 1944 Ralph started selling shook in the San Joaquin Valley. His interest in tumber began.to develop then and, when the opportunity arose to transfer to Tarter, Webster & Jphnson, Inc., he too'lr it. He began to specialize in the handling of moulding and millwork orders, and when the position of millwork sales manager was created in 195.1 he rvas ip pointed.

State of the Nation Speech and the Lumber Industry

When President Ike delivered his "State of the Nation" ceilings, and on this volume of business therc is littlc speech to Congress on February Znd, he left the business- probability that dropping price controls would increase men of the nation important things to think about, and market values. In some species there are certain items important changes to prepare for.

that have remained close to the ceilings because of scarcity,

He suggested that wage and price controls be dropped etc., but these are comparatively few, and are not in large not later than the end of April, and immediately machinery volume. There is little likelihood that the dropping of was put in motion that may bring about those important ceilings would increase prices on any real volume of lumber. changes before that time. It is possible and even probable As far as wage and hour controls are .concerned" these that some of the controls may be dropped considerably have been more of a nuisance than anything else to most in advance of the April date.

The elimination of ceiling prices would of course be the of the lumber people' and their elirnination would be of no most important matter affecting the lumber industry. As great concern to the industry' In fact, this industry ar a of the piesent time the great majority of lumber items in whole will welcome the end of government controls of all all species and in all territories are well under present kinds with a sigh of relief.

The Western Lumber Company

Bv \fl. F. Montgomery

The story of this company is, I believe, unique in the annals of the early lumber industry in Los Angeles and well worth preserving as a matter of history. It rvas at the time of the early boom days in Southern California and both real estate and the building industry u'ere flourishing. I had severed my connection u'ith the SchallertGanahl Lumber Co. rvhere f rvas manager of the First Street yard, and was looking for another job, as the real estate game in which I had engaged did not pan out rvell as the boom had reached its peak and rvas slou'ing up.

I had learned about some people from Austin, Nevada, who were planning to start a yard in Los Angeles and lost no time in getting in touch rvith them. The leading man was Mr. Andrew Nichols who had operated a small yard in Austin and he had interested trvo other men from Austin to join in the enterprise, each one investing ts'enty thousand dollars, with stock sales offered to the public. Mr. NichoLs had desk room rvith an insurance man, formerly from a mill town on the Columbia river in Oregon, rvho vvas acting as agent for one of the mills. He had effected the sale of a cargo of over a million feet to NIr. Nichols that was enroute and no place ready to store it.

I had subscribed for $10,000.00 rvorth of stock but had only $250.00 available at that time, l'hich I gave them as

shorving my good intentions. I rvas able to increase this to $600.00 from my lvages before quitting my job, during which time they paid me the same salary as the large investors. Mr. Nichols had commissioned the insurance man and myself to look for a location and approved the site rve selected covering a rvhole block on 9th and San Pedro Streets. There lvas a spur track in the rear, put in to supply material to the Tenth Street Hotel, rvhose erection was finally abandoned.

When the cargo arrived no preparation had been made to care for it except to sketch on paper the location of each pile, and most of the cargo had to be dumped along the track until the foundations rvere installed. \\'e had taken orders for a number of house bills to be shipped in from the coast, and this lumber arrived at the same time as the cargo u'hich increasesd the confusion, but tu'o men u'ho had u'orked in the Ganahl yard shorred up and rvere given a job, one as foreman and the other as delivery man. Mr. Nichols, rvho rvas the onlv lumberman of the three, rvas checking deliveries, rvhile IIr. I\{ercer, one of the others, s'as trying to help shoving oft from the cars.

I u'as the only one that had any experience in the Los Angeles field, and at first the entire responsibility of the business devolved upon me. The first month or so was the

most strenuous I ever experienced. I had to make all the sales, place orders for shipment, plan and build the office, and even suggested the name for the company which was approved by the stockholders. At the first meeting the insurance man was elected president and I had the title of assistant secretary. Later the insurance man severed his connections with the company.

I continued with the company for two years, drawing the same salary as the others, until lack of business demanded my withdrawal. They returned the amount of my investment, and also that of two of my friends who had made substantial purchases of stock through my recommendation. I have never worked with finer gentlemen than the three men of the Western Lumber Co. The entire conduct of the business rested on Mr. Nichols. As far as I know the company never paid a dividend and when taken over by Nofziger Bros. I doubt if little remained of their original investment; Nofziger Bros. had another yard at Main and Eighth Streets and the Western Lumber Company yard was moved to this location and Mr. Nichols was given a job as shipping clerk. I used to see my former boss when I was heading my own company. I also ,contacted Mr. Mercer who had a position with the Hollywood Cemetery which he seemed to enjoy. In that rvell written book by the late Ferry Whiting of which I have an autographed copy, he speaks very highly of the Western Lumber Company and thanks Mr. Mercer for offering to go on his bond on any contract where a bond was required.

Private Industry and Gov€rnmcnt Agencies Work with Scouts

Timber harvested on remote parts of the Portland Bo-v Scout 733-acre camp on the Oregon Coast has provided funds for repairs and construction rvhich have nearly doubled the capacity of the camp s'ith nerv buildings, campsites and sanitary facilities.

Norv the boys are replanting the logged areas rvith Douglas fir seedlings and looking ahead fiftv years or so to the next healthy "contribution" from the land. While the areas would have reseeded naturally, the Scouts tvere so enthu'siastic about the project they chose to do their ou'n hand-planting and thus get a head start on Nature.

Foresters from Crorvn Zellerbach Corporation, the U. S. Forest Service, and the consulting forestry firm IUason, Bruce & Girard, advised the Scouts in the harvest of the timber. Crorvn Zellerbach and the Forest Service also furnished one year old Douglas firs for the replanting of the area after logging.

After the area tl'as relogged to remove the small logs and poles, the older (Explorer) Scouts began annual planting expeditions during the Christmas holidays rvhen tveather conditions are best (for baby trees). This year's planting of 15,m0 trees $'as the second annual expedition and 35 Scouts took part.

Helping supervise the project were L. B. Alexander, rvith the Bureau of Land Management, Gilbert I\I. Borve, consulting forester, and Merle I\[osar, district forester for Crorvn Zellerbach Corporation.

Eulogy To Apple Pie

An apple pie is not m:rely a vehicle for tl-re exhibition of its components in their own nature. It is a glorious unity in which sugar gives up its nature as sugar and butter ceases to be butter, and each flavorsome spice gladly vanishes from its full nature that it may rise into a new life of an apple pie. Now that apple pie is no ionger apple, it, too, is transformed. And the apple pie, though born of apple, sugar, butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, iemon, is not like any of these, but the compound ideal of them all, refined, purified, and bv fire. fixed in blissful perfection.

Tether

Time has been gentle with us foolish folk, Has let us wander through unharried days :

So it has been since the young Eve awoke, To infant knowledge and to mild amaze.

Life has her tether, and the hand of One

Holds us in pastures of our own desire,

Until the greenness of the field be gone

And we must in ourselves hunt grasses higher.

But could we as wild cattle run the hills?

Wild with our wisdom, breaking down the trees

Of doubt, with our sharp horns of wills

Could we run wild and free, as free as these?

But we would feed on bitter weeds I know, Should God's hand cut the curbing tether so.

-Gladys Horn

A Better Crcrdle

There is an old saying that the rich have money and the poor have children. As for the rich having money, that of course is obvious. And as for the poor having childrenwell, read the story yourself.

Jim Scott, a poverty-stricken backwoodsman, had become the father of his twelfth child. The cradle in which the chiid lay had served the same purpose for eleven preceding children and its rcckers were so far gone, there was no more rock in them.

"Guess we gotter git a new cradle, Jim," the wife said with a plaintive sigh. "This one's erbout all used up." Jim looked over the dilapidated crib that was ready to fa1l apart.

"I guess you're right, Sal," he drawled. "I guess we gotter git a new one. Next time you go to town, git one at the store. But this time git one that will last."

You'd Think This Wos Scotch

The following epitaph (likewise an advertisement) rvas found in a cemetery in Paris: "Here lies Pierre Victor Fournier. inventor of the Everlasting Lamp, which consumes only one centime worth of oil in an hour. He rvas a good father. son, and husband. His inconsolable widow continues his business in the Rue aux Trois. Goods sent to all parts of the citir."

A Dirty Answer

"There is just one honest wav to make a living."

"How is that?"

"I was afraid you wouldn't knorv."

Lile Is Much

(Written by Stanley in 1869.)

I don't believe that an unemployed man, however amiable and otherwise respectable, was ever, or ever can be, reallrh"ppy. As work is our life, show me what you can do. and I will show you what you are. I have spoken of love of one's work as the best preventive of merely low and vicious tastes. I will go farther, and say that it is the best prcservative against pstty anxieties that rise out of i:rdulgecl self-love.

Men have thought before now that thev couid take refuge from trouble and vexation bv sheltering themselves, as it were, in a world of their own. The experiment has often been tried, and alwavs with one result. You cannot escape from anxiety and labor-it it the destinv of humanity. Those who shirk from facing trouble find that trouble comes to them. The indolent shall contrive that he shall have less than his share of the world's work to do. but Nature, proportioning the instinct to the work. contrives that the little shali be much and hard to him.

The man who has only himself to please finds sooner or later that he has got a verv hard master: and the excessive weakness that shrinks f rom responsibiiity has its own punishment, too, for where great interests are excluded little matters become great. and the same rvear and tear of mind that might have been at least usefully and healthfuiiy expended on the real business of life. is often wasted in petty and imaginary vexations. such as breed and multiply in the unoccupied brain.

Good Employee Relations---Sound Basis for Leadershp

Bv B.J. Vaughn, Director, Public and Employee Relations, Union Lumber Compony, Fort Bragg, Cahf.

The Union Lumber Comltany, of Fort l3ragg. California. has l;een t leader in the field of redu'ood lumbering throughout its long and colorful histrlrr'. The cornpanv is outstanding also ir.r its record of good ernplovee relations. Its success in achieving tl-ris can be traced to its conviction that leadership entails responsibilities. Foremost alnong these responsibilities is the need to base continued leadership not on a feu' t()p manag'ement men alone. but also orr its 1300 employees.

The Union l-umber Ccu.npany has a ver-\' l)r()gressive crnployee program, and they ltelier-e that good emplovee relations are based, lirst oi all, on conrlllete and accurate records.

\\rith the aid of a Iternir.rgton Rand Systems expert, the Union Lurnber adapted to their needs a record sl'stem that deserves study b1' executives considering inrprovenrents in their orvn personnel clepartments.

At the otrtset, the Unior.r l-umber Companv nrade sure that their new recorcls l'ould be safe irom fire. Fite destroys thousands of irreplaceable emplo-vee records in the United States every )'ear. Safe-Kardexes ancl Safe-files. combining efficiencv ancl fire protection, n'ere decided upon to hotrse tlre records.

The Kardex form u'hich is filled in for each ernployee is a model of compactness and conrpleteness. It begins u'ith tl.re card filled in by the personnel department intervierver l'hen the employee is hired. Here is listed all pertinent personal information, including a record of prelious em1>loymer.rt. This form is r.nade a l)ermanent part of the cmployee's record.

Next, there is the service record. n'hich lists the employee's jobs u'ith the Union I.umber Compan,v. This is an abstract of infornration contained on larger form, located on the reverse side. Here is a detailed record of reprimands; a 1'earlv rating record ; an altsentee srlnlmary recrird ; an accident record ; and a termination code. The abser.rtee record is, in turn an abstract of a ])ailv Absenteeism record, a four-year form housed along n'ith the l)erluanent record.

Last, there is the title insert-or visible margin. Here along u'ith the emplol'ee's name, social securitr- number and department, is a numltered strip on rvhich a Graph-AIlatic signal is moved to indicate the length of emplovment. \rertical colored signals are also used for follos--up in accordance n'ith an arbitrary code.

No phase of the emplo-vee's life s-hich might reasonabl-ralTect his job is missing from his personnel record. Such thoroughness results in man,r' ltenefits, both tor the ernplovee and for thc companl-.

As elerv personnel director knon-s. one of the cliief causes of emplovee dissatisfaction. and conse(ptent inefficiency. is the feeling of the emplo-r.ee that he is sub-

merged and forgotten, that the years or the industry that he has devoted to his job have all gone for nothing. With the aid of complete records, it is simple to dispel this feeling. Small personal attentions-such as remembrance of birthdays or anniversaries with the company, consistently high lvork ratings and the like-are rendered easy.

One of business' great morale builders-the house organ -depends to a great extent on employee records, and the more complete they are, the better job the house organ can do.

From the company's standpoint, the employee records are a means of both good relations and operational economy.

Inefficient employees represent a serious financial drain to any cornpanyr .no matter rvhat their jobs are, but especially if they are engaged in production. 'There are t$,o main types of inefficient employees: those who are inefficient, and are allowed to incur any serious loss; and those who are inefficient '1a little bit at a time." These latter may tend torvards accidents, but not serious ones. Their absenteeism might seem moderate-but when seen in the form of a year's or more records, turn out to be serious. Their rating record might fluctuate-but be, on an average, Iow.

Cases such as these are quickly spotted rvhen made of the historical type of record, and a policy quent review is established.

The Union Lumber Company has found their employee record to be a great aid in meeting the

problems of the Personnel department. More important, it is also helping to carry out the company's long range plan the continued leadership through its l30O satisfied, productive employees.

Washington, D.C. The use of lumber to repair \\rashington's Union Station follorving last Thursday's runau.av train crash saved tens of thousands of Inauguration visitors possible delays and inconr.enience.

Leo Bodine, executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, said today that lumber deserves a major share of credit for the speedy and orderll' movement of Inauguration rail traffic into \\/ashington, D.C.

The runaway train tore a jagged 100-by-300 foot hole in the station's steel-concrete concourse floor, threatening to snarl the heavy influx of Inauguration visitors.

However, within 72 hours after the accident, salvage and construction tvorkers laboring around the clock had removed virtually all scars of the crash.

Heavy wooden beams, strong solid timbers and rugged heavy-duty planking'rvere used to build a temporarv n'ooden floor over the demolished section of the concourse. The r'vooden floor t'as then covered u'ith a quick-drving asphalt.

Railroad officials relied on the u'ooden floor to hold the peak traffic loads u.hich poured into the station-and their confidence in wood l'as justified.

Lumber also rvas pressed into serr-ice to build a ne\\station master's office and to rebuild a ne\\'sstand on the concourse. Botl-r u'ere smashed bv the runau'at' train.

How to Attract Tourist Trade

Hou' to attract tourist tracle : Choose a location such as heavily-traveled Road 101 betrveen Los Angeles and San Diego on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, a mile north of Leucadia.

Name the place after a ur-rir-ersally-knorvn, easily-dramatized place, like Noah's Ark.

Catch the eyes of tourists n'ith a compelling display, like life-size animals of the ark: Gorilla, ostrict, hippopotamus, zebra and camel, cut out of l{asonite Tempered Presdrvood and realistically painted.

Serve good food quicklv, cleanly, quietly, reasonably.

Thats t'hat Mr. and Mrs. Ed Barker. owners of Noah's Ark, did and do.

Whitc Brothers Installins Third Dry Kiln

To properly season these many varieties of hardwood lumber, a double track and later a single track Moore CrossCirculation kiln employing 60-inch diameter fans located above the loads of lumber rvas installed. These trvo kilns are only 36-feet long but have a holding capacity of 60,000 feet and produce an exceptional amount of lumber dried to specific and exacting requirements. To season special orders a third Cross-Circulation kiln 24 feet long designed to hold only one load of lumber is norv.being installed. Trvo White Brothers' men. Charles B. White and Esmond A. Follett, have been trained by the Forest Products Laboratory of NIadison, \\risconsin, to use these kilns to their full capacities and under this supervision the kilns are operated by Leo \\'offord and Ralph Gleason.

A gas fired steam boiler is used to furnish heat to the kilns and as both kilns are equipped rvith Nfoore Kiln tem' perature and humidity recorder controllers and automatic fan reversal equipment, the drying operation is as automatic as is possible to obtain.

lano Beach, some six years ago. They've been beckoning southbound motorists ever since-from a distance of better than a half mile. There's been virtually no maintenance expense on the zoo cutouts.

Business has been good. Mr. Barker says that a bit of historical dramatics is a first-rate business-attracter. Folks are always looking for something unusual, and rvhen they spot it, they stop for a look-and leave some business, of course.

Filipinos Build Basketball Floor To Greet Harlem Globetrotters

Philippine Mahogany, one of the most versatile of building woods, was adapted to a new use on its home island recently in honor of a visiting basketball team. Abe Saperstein, manager of the barnstorming Harlem Globetrotters, told the story through Red Smith's nationally syndicated column.

Filipinos, Saperstein says, are "baserk" about basketball. So "baserk" that 11,000 workers from a sugar plantation near the town of Bacolod sat all day in a driving rainstorm waiting to watch the local team tange with the Globetrotters and the Boston Celtics. The Celtics accompanied the Harlem team on the world tour.

The game at Bacolod was played in a clearing cut out of the sugar cane. In the middle of the clearing, built especially for the Globetrotters' exhibition, was a basketball floor. It was constructed entirely of solid Philippine Mahogany.

As Saperstein describes it: "Here was this solid mahogany floor that the sugar rancher had built just for this one game and afterwards he would just have it torn up and throw it away, I guess."

It is the guess of Insular Lumber Company, who supplied the flooring from their nearby Fabrica mills, that the basketball court will be allowed to remain so that local teams can indulge their enthusiasm for the game, but they were happy to hear that it served the exhibition well for 45 minutes after soaking-with the spectators-all day in the rain.

Out of the \(/oods

By Jim Stevens

Seeing Eye to Eye

A farmer rvho does his otvn logging in the James River Valley of Virginia, rvhere trees were felled for export 343 years ago, has a vierv that differs greatly from that of the industrial forest engineer and the power-sal\' logger in the giant 'n'ilderness Douglas firs and \\rest Coast hemlocks that stand lvestrvard under the snorv peaks of the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and \\rashington.

In the first area there are places n'here fir'e crops of trees have been grorvn, harvested and sent to nlarket. In the big-timber region of the West the transition from old forests to nerv is only at the halfrvav mark. The differences are as great in other main phases of the forest management problem.

However, first principles of forest management are basically the same everywhere in the American lvoods, as seen in a stump's eye vierv from the angle of the man who lives by the logger's trade and from that of the technicallytrained forester.

ForestHub...

The stump is the hub of operation for private enterprise in the American forest. The stump is the hub around which the lau' of supply and demand revolves in sustaining the flow of forest products to markets and end uses and in sustaining the return florv of revenue that provides for payments of rvages, taxes, dividends, and all other costs of production-including that of applied forestry on the land.

"Forestry begins at the stump," the industrial foresters agree.

Ar llrnnr [unBER GonPrilr

-W holcsp,lc Dlsltibutors-

The problem of applied forestry that centers on the stump in any part of the country is first of all that of producing and protecting nerv tree grorvth around each stump of the log harvest. The solution commonly begins with the logging plan. Trees are reserved from cutting to work as seed sources for the nerv forest.

In the Douglas fir region forestry commonly dictates "patch logging," rvhich rvill clear one area and leave solid blocks or strips of seed trees standing for years. In pine. regions specific types of trees are selected for the logging' leaving all the tr'ees that orvn the ability to grolv rvood for many more years.

The Common Ground. .

The planting of seedling forest trees among the stumps by hand or b-v the amazing nel\' tree-planting machines is too costly to be employed except u'here the chances for natural reforestation are poor.

For decades the annual number of United States forest fires ran close to 200,0m, and each year from 25,000,000 to 5O,00O,00O acres \\'ere burned. By far the greater part of this acreage rvas farm land rvhich farmers fired year after vear to "bring on the grass."

This ruinous tradition of land use dies hard. Then on land that has been burned again and again the new forest must be planted by hand or machine. There are big black holes of old burns in the great forests of the \Vest.

I\{ethods of sorving tree seeds by helicopter are being tried out there by the forest industries to make idle land productive. Fire remains the enormous risk that Private enterprise must face in the forests, and face it through as many as 80 fire seasons in the grorving of a nelv industrial forest from the stumps of the old.

All forest oNners-government, industry and farm-6nd common ground and see eye to eye on the forest fire problem.
