How Lumber Looks

ln This Issue

The lumber price decline was retarded by the recent cold weather which slowed production, and the industry average showed a drop of only $0.M for the Z-week period ending Feb. 7 in Crow's Lumber Price Index. The biggest slide was in green fir. Prices were fairly steady with some losses in 1x6 green fir boards due to recent Cali-

fornia storms which curtained building there. Kiln-dried Economy fir dimension and boards were on the weak side. Ponderosa pine common boards picked up some strength. Gains in pine were offset by losses in white fir and fir and larch dimension in pine-region mills.

Shipments oi +15 -itt, ,.p*tirrg to tf,. Natl. Lumber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ended Jan. 26 were 4.1/o below production; orders were 6.67o below. Orders and shipments were below both the previous week and the corresponding 1956 week.

Orders climbed a big 14.5/o over production ol 78,323.860 feet, w-hile shipments hit a phenomenal 22.4% over production in the reports of 165 mills to the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. in the week ending February 2. For the young year to date, orders of 460,407,925 feet were 4.4/o, and shipments of 473,908,208' feet were 7.5/o over production of 440,831,580 feet. production of 64,1O6,000 Orders of 69,840,000 t"., *... aSTr "bou" PineAssn. in the week feet in the reports of l13 mills to the Western ended Jan. 26.

J. W. Copeland Yards of Portland has purchased from the former Hammond Lumber Company the retail lumber and building materials yard in the Rosemead district of Los Angeles county, about 18 miles from the city. This marks the fourth retail yard Copeland has purchased from the Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Portland,'n'hich'acquired the Hammond Lumber Company late last year. No price was given. The new acquisition boosts Copeland's total yards to 51 in four western states, of which eight are in California. J. W.

The Council for the Southern California Door Institute

sent Jack Carlow, Los Angeles plywood and door distributor, to Washington, D.C., last month to talk to members of Congress, the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department in an effort to start an investigation regarding

flush door prices. Upon his return, Mr. Carlow informed the local manufacturers and distributors that he had interviewed leaders in the federal government who were interested in such problems at the national level, which would also include the Southwest. He was quite optimistic regarding results in the near future.

It was just 20 years ago that Laurence "Larry" Van Order established his retail lumber yard on one lot in the fast-growing community of Lynwood, adjacent to the South Gate area, on the corner of Tweedy and Long Beach boulevards. At that time this location was surrounded by chain-operated yards and Dealer Van Order was advised it would be impossible to compete with yards having the tremendous advantage of volume buying and selling. But today Blue Star is the only progressive retail lumber dealer left in the area, and it has been necessary to expand his operations eight times since 1937. Now the firm occupies more than trvo and one-half acres of yard space and recently completed additions to the offrces and store to take care of the steady growth of the drop-in trade. According to Van Order, this has been no accident. Larry rvas born in a lumber family back in Oklahoma. He was raised in Wichita, Kansas, where he received his formal education. His f;rther operated a small line of rural retail yards in Kansas, and Larry secured his basic training right at the source of supply and demand. "My father taught me one thing that has stuck with me all of my life," the dealer said, "and that little formula was very simple: treat your customers right and they'll come back." Blue Star Lumber Co. handles nothing but the best. All standard items of building materials are carried in stock. A complete hardware and paint department is well stocked for customer selection. A full line of hardwood and softwood plywood and paneling is available in the well-organized warehouse. All species of softwood lumber in various grades is carried in lift loads and bins for customer choice whether the need is small or large. Hardwood lumber of various species is also available, and Blue Star is the only independent community lumber dealer that maintains its own stock for remanufacturing mouldings and siding for delivery to specifications, Van Order declared. The new offices and store are permanent displays of the various materials stocked by this progressive retail dealer. Beautiful wall surfacing of Weldwood Plywood is just one of the selling features applied by Van Order. The California Door Company furnished the sliding glass and louver windows, and the interior and exterior partitions are Tyco Sliding Glass Doors. Standard brands on display include the full line of Security Paint, a product manufactured in Southern California for western users. The display room has been completely modernized and stocked with quality brands of every material needed by the do-it-yourself trade and the contractor-builder. Complete housing projects have been sold by this firm in all of Southern California. Jobs have been handled from the San Fernando Valley to San Bernardino, Iliverside, and lvs Orange and San Diego counties. Everything mean everything-is available to the builder: doors and windor,'r's of every style and type, Fiberglas, insulation,

First New Pruden Frome Building Erected qt Trqcy

M & M Retoil Yord Sells rhe Entire Job; Bqrton Co. Now Frqnchising Declers The first, revolutionary Pruden Frame building, recently introduced to the West Coast, has been erected for the Haley Cropdusting Co. of Tracy. The entire job, rvith the exception of. a'6'slab floor, was supplied by M & M Builders Supply, o{ Tracy. Pruden Frames, manufactured by Prttden Products Co., of Evansville, Wisconsin, are distributed by T. E. Barton Co., of Oakland, which is presently franchising lumber dealers throughout California. The Haley Cropdusting job, considered an "impossible sell" for a lumberyard until M & M Builders Supply approached Haley 'r.r'ith the Pruden system, utilizes four sets of Pruden frames, on l2-foot centers, with a lGfoot canti: lever section extending out from the side of each frame to give an added 20 feet of width to tl-re 40-foot clear-span building. The remainder of the job-aluminum for siding and roofing, corrugated plastic for skylights, 2x6 roof stringers and side members, plumbing, hardware, etc. right out of M & M Builders Supply's normal -came stock of inventory. Prior to taking over the Pruden Frame franchise for the Tracy area, M & M Builders Supply had unsuccessfully bid on dozens of lor.l'-cost industrial, commercial, farm and storage buildings such as the Haley job. However, in prac-

tically every instance, costs of conventional collstruction forced them to bow out to one of the several factory fabricators of steel buildings. Now, however, the Pruden Frame has placed M & M in a highly competitive position with the all steel prefabs and, in addition, M & M has the extra bonus of being able to supply the entire job, whether it's of steel or wood roofing and siding, right out of their stock. Again, on the .other side of the ledger, Haley Cropdusting got an all-rveather aluminum building, @ feet 'ivide and 48 feet deep, with enough room to store four airplanes, room for a sizeable office and more than enough space for a good-sized machine shop, complete u'ith a 6' concrete slab floor throughout-for slightly under $5,000 ! Any of the many combinations of building materials norv available may be used to enclose the Pruden Frame building. Although steel and aluminum roofing and siding are generally used, rvood and asphalt shingles may be applied on the roof by merely placing sheathing over the roof str-ingers. In addition, rigid insulation board may be nailed to 2x6 stringers before roofing and siding are applied, or blanket type insulation can be attached to nnder sides of purlins and to the inside of the u'all nailing girders.

BY JACK DIONNE Long years ago a wise comedian named Will Rogers said: "American foreign policy is always an open book; an open check book." ,< * * Thomas Jefferson onc€ said of France: "Ilere it seems that a man might pa.ss his life without encountering a single rudeness." Poor old France has encountered many a rudeness in world politics in recent years, and gets a little rude herself now and then.

When Diogenes was growing old his friends suggested to the old philosopher that he give more time and thought to rest. To which he replied: "If I were running in the stadium, ought I to slacken my pace when approaching the goal? Ought I not rather put on more speed?"

A Norurol Gluestion When the famous humorist, George Ade, was trying for years to make a living writing for papers in the Chicago territory, he was always broke, and with much regularity he took his big gold watch to a pawnbroker friend of his and pawned it for enough to feed him until the next pay came in. This went on for years. .

Then fortune smiled on Ade; and he became prosperous and no longer needed the assistance of the pawnbroker. Consequently, he no longer saw the man. It was years later that they met one day on the street, and the loan man, who knew nothing of the change in Ade's condition, put his hand on the other's shoulder and, in friendly fashion, he asked: "Whatever happened, George? Did you lose your watch?"

Selling Money-Mqking Stuff There is probably no better boast that the building merchant can make concerning his business than the fact that he sells only things that make money for the purchaser. And it is a boast that can safely be backed up by facts. Every purchaser is naturally interested in buying things that will bring him profits. What does the building material merchant sell? A thousand things of building character, starting with homes. Does a home, well located and well built, show a profit? Wise men agree that it does. A lot of. the purchase money for a home is saved and therefore earned, because it would .be lost, spent or wasted otherwise. Run over the list of things the lumber dealer sells, and

An Editorial

see for yourself if they are not all profit-makers. Barns, necessary farm buildings, etc., should directly assist the farmer in making a profit on his farm. Intelligently handled building improvements are always a good investment. So is a proper coat of paint, rvhich adds more to the value of the building than the cost of the paint.

When you consider the matter you will probably conclude that any investment wisely made in necessary buildings brings a profit to the buyer. And, in addition to actual returns on the investment, the buyer gets the sentimental profits that come with wellplanned, well-built, well-irnproved, well-painted, well-kept buildings. All of which makes the building material dealer something of a public benefactor.

Club I 17 Holds Concot

Riverside County Hoo-Hoo Club 117 was scheduled to hold a Concatenation at its February I meeting, held at the Elks club in Hemet. Steaks were the main course of the 7:59 p.m. dinner. President Bob Saucke appointed Bert Holdren chairman of the meeting. Jerry Westphal gave a report on the club's Retail Lumber Training Institute project and Jack McGrath, general chairman of the club's annual Ladies Night, reported on the progress of the venture to be held this May. Don Derbes also reported in his capacity as Accommodations chairman. The club has been discussing limiting the attendance at this annual highlight of its activities, and the pros and cons were brought out at the Feb. 1 meeting, of which Warren Haskins handled reservations.

The year's shipments of 7921 million feet were 6.6/o below 1955, and just slightly less tlran the 7949 million feet shipped in second-best 1954. "The 309 million feet by which 1956 production exceedecl shifments was less than 4/o of the total but it raisecl thc industry's stocks to about 2114 million feet at the end of the year, the highest since World War II. Much of the increase was in pine. Stocks of white fir and Engelmann spruce are not above those of a year ago and the increascs for others of the associated woods are not large. "There has been r.nuch publicity the past few rlonths about the clecline in housing starts arrd the credit stringcncy which largely contributed to the decline. Though the total number of housing starts for the first 11 months of 1956 was ofr 16/o from 1955, the downward trend in starts seems to have been halted, at least temporarily. The seasonally-adjusted anuual rate for November was 1,060,000 units. This is slightly bettcr than rates for Septernber and (Jctober but still indicates an annual rate which is well under the 1.1 rnillion plus units started in 1956. Unless the rate of hon,e construction is increased the lumber industry can look for more of the extreme competition which has been the rule for thc past several months.

The statcnlent in full : "Production of lumber in the Western Pine region during the fourth quarter of last year is estimatecl at 1874 million board feet, 8.7/o below the fourth quarter of 1955.

sturdy prop under the Western Pine industry during 1956, is more or less at the mercy of unusual weather. Just recentll' the shook demancl from Texas suffered an unexpectecl drop for that reason. "Based upon such factors and all other available information upon prospective demand, it would seem probable that, during tl-re first quarter of 1957, shipments (consur.r-rption) of lumber frorn the Western Pine region will approximate 1600 million feet, or about l0/o under the very high level of shipments dnring the first quarter of 1956."

WOODWOR.K INSTITUTE OF CATIIOR,NIA

Hecrrs Chollenging Arguments qt 1957 Annucll The 1957 annual meeting of the Woodrvork Institute of California was held at the Hotel Statler in Los Angeles, January 11, with more than 80 in attendance. The first part of the program was a three-man panel which explored "Architectural Woodwork in Your Future." The panel members u'ere Dr. Fred Dickinson, director of the Forest Products Research Laboratory at Richmond, California; Dean A. B. Gallion, College of Architecture, IJniversity of Southern California, and Dr. C. Thomas Dean, chairman of the Department of Vocation and Industrial Education, Long Beach State College.

Dr. Dickinson opened the panel rvith the challenging statement that, in the wood lve rvork tvith, t'e have a material that is unique and possesses many advantages not held by other materials. He stated that a danger lies in the fact that we are presently using this material faster than we are growing it, although \\'e are removing a grorvth of over-mature wood rvhich \,\re must do in order to grorv a second crop. "Even though there is sufficient material today, \ve are already experiencing some diffrculty in selectir-rg for species or grade or other particular characteristics," he said, and he predicted that the quality rvould continue to decline, at least under our present definition. Dr. Dickinson challenged the \\r.I.C. n'ith the question, "Have you made your needs knou,n to the timber gl'owers ?" He then brought out the fact that actually we are

in competition with other markets for our product and

cited the pulp and paper industry as an example. He pointed out that there must be adr.ances made in the fields of policy and management of our forests in order to insure an adequate supply in the future, and he en-rphasized that rve must use all of our wood, even the so-called secondary species, in order to insure a supply. He stated that as a group the \\r.I.C. could do a great deal to increase utilization of residue. He touched upon the areas of rvood stabilization, and adhesives and bonding, and preservatives to give an idea of fields vl'here development must be rnade. He emphasizecl the neecl {or more machine development, better cutting edges, and devices to decrease down-tin,e. Dean Gallion then pointed out that rvood is uniclue in the field of materials, particularh' because it r,vas the first that man utilized, and has continued to dominate as a building material. He stated that modern architecture is going to exploit the materials available, horvever, in spite of any sentimental attachments to u'ood. He pointed out that architects are not concerned u'ith the support of an industry nor the exploitation of anv special n'raterial, but only the selection of those materials that t'ill better suit

the llurpose. He stated that in spite of the fact that wood has the

capacity to serve contemporary architecture, it will not be used unless something is done by the woodworking

industry. "As a part of the general immorality of our times, there appears to be an indifference torvard the standard of quality," i)ean Gallion stated. "sometimes the only r,vay the architect can use wood is by covering it up, and thus is prohibited from expressing the structure of the building rvith the materials from 'ivhich it is built." He emphasized the need for the industry to adopt standard stock detailing that is contemporary and usable and that n'ill permit the architect to express himself in the strircture, and cited the "antiquated, fuzzy" stucco n.rould and the fallacy of the "stock" window sill. He pointed out that stock details are of no value to the architect 'rvhen every mill has its own stock pattern. He called attention to the ever-increasing influence of Japanese architecture, especially on the West Coast, and stated that the detailing and the quality of the rvoodwork rvas the factor that made such architecture such a delight. He heartily recommended that lve travel in the direction

of an improvement of quality st:rndards, so that the architect is not recluired to resort alrvays to some substitute material u'hen r.vood should be rrsecl. Dr. Dear-r gave a brief history of the beginning and the growth of vocational education. He pointed out that the plan for vocational and industrial education ttnder existing legislation must come from the state and frttm the local school system. "The vocational training program is paid for by industry, and therefore indrlstry should assist in its direction," he said. Dr. Dean cited the fact that 56.4% of high school graduates in California are not eligible to enroll in college. He stated that early planning \\'as an important factor in this ineligibility, and that the W.I.C. could help a great deal. He challenged the W.I.C. rvith the question. "Have you given any thought to rvhat you as a grouP could do for education, or what it can do for yotl?" He pleaded that it let the people in education knon' that it is interestecl in what they are doing and asked it to tell them l.hat it rvants and needs. He suggested that the W.I.C. organtze strong advisory

He recommended that it organize business and industry days in order to let the students understand what it is doing. He suggested that the W.I.C. provide scholarships for carefully selected students, and develop' some attractive brochures to ac<luaint the shop teachers and the students 'ivith the advantages obtained through working in this industry. He suggested further that W.I.C. produce a good movie covering the mill trade. Dr. Dean gave several recommendations for a program of employe retention, and ventured the opinion that very little is done in this area. He emphasized that \\'e must do a lot oI selling if we are to combat the bad manpower situation that now exists. Follo'iving the luncheon, outgoing President Byron K.

The excellence of the preliminary talks by the speakers in the panel session \ ras evidenced by the questions that came from the members in the Question-and-Answer period that follorved. Briefly they u'ere: Q: Is the woodwork industry singularly outstanding for laggrng behind? A: No, but I artr not convincid thit the- industry as iuch is s&l<ing to guide creative artists tor,l'ard a fiuer use of such a fine matelial in modern architecture. Isn't it possible for the architect to work morc closely with the industry toward a fuller utilization of the log? Stumpage is a real problem.

Certainly designers wish to improve by exploiting the ureans of fabrication and noi bv insistins on something we have had and now cannot get. the mill? Q: is it irot the rlsponsibility oithe Architect to design wood moulding, such as stucco moulds, rather than otrly allegedly so. Each

A: Yes, but through standardizing you have destroyed our design and, beside.s, most- standard.items are milf has its owir standard. We"need to be told when we are exceeding the limits of reasonable econonl\: in our full size detaiiing are guilty of having no common vocabularl-. versus the use of stock patterns. Both of our professions -value of wood windbws is negiigible compared to the "fine lines of metal sash." Q: Aichitetis have expresse'd the opinion that the A: The cost of the miterial and thi workmanship is the biggest factor. Possibly the architectural trend is also part of the answer. Q: What help can an industry such as ours give to vocational and industridl education to assure our getting the competent mechanics, detailers and trained personnel that we require? What should be our first step? A: C.i ouiti the people in vocational educatiou at College level and help set up. a pattern or a detailed program that is approved by both ildustry-and by the schools. It is up to you to sit dovrn with education.and_designate exactly vr,-h-at you want your personnel to be taught. You must also tell us what job category you need men in. Education will certainll- cooperate. particular subjects that they want taught? Q: Will the state educational system permit industry to suggest A: They cer-tainly will. Remember they are here to serve. you.__You see, education is not always cogttizattt.of .industry's neetls, and-t|e educator must be held to a realistic point of view. You can go into the schools and get the type of individual you want if you show them what 1'ou have to offer them. _

Q: Whom do we inquire of as to getting these good students who are potentially good men-? A: The Junior College in your comniuniiy, the High School. in your con.rmunity,_the nearest S^tate College or _a blanch of the Uni,r".siiv of Califoriia. Vou should also assist in a counseling program at the Junior High School level ancl continue it through Hieh-School. Try the shop teachers in the High Schools. Q: Wf;"t i"" *e as itt industry do to encourage tlie use of materials that are presently being discriminated against, such as White Fir? A: First, acquaint yourself n'ith the characteristics of the secondary matelials. Certainly n'ork to improve the quality of the architect's specifications. Dean Gallion adds: ---i;A-r.fiiGiti sometimes commit the sins of being creatures of habit in their specification writing. IVIake I'our contacts with the profession and inform them of the useiul advantages in materials that are not beir-rg specified. Sometimes we specif]' "r.hite.t"ril by habit and not by reason." If we find a material being specified that is pricing us out of the market, then do you say it is our responsibility to let the O: - Architeet know of a suitable alternate? A: yes, but clo not work on the basis of substitutes. We recoil from the word substitute. Recommend the material because of its merits, and not as a substitute. seeming to take.precedence over wood doors?

Mr. f ierce then presented a gift from the Woodwork Institute to Mr. Taylor in acknorvledgement and'appreciatior.l of his untiring services on behalf of the W.I.C. the past year. Mr. Taylor then introduced Les Harter, technical consultant of the W.I.C., u'ho presented Dr. Fred Dickinson of the Forest Products Research Laboratory as the principal speaker. In his talk, Dickinson pointed clut that r'r'ood Plays an ever-effective and constant part in our everyday lives. "The complex and interesting chemical natttre of rvood is the cause of its value as a useful material, and still rve fall far short of utilizing the full value of rvood," he said. In the physical asPects. he pointed to the need for developing information about secondary 'ivoods, such as tan oak, black oak, etc. F.P.il.L. rvill introduce a study of drying of rvood, a study of adhesives, and a study of machining techniques in the near future. They propose to spend approximately a quarter of a million dollars 1 year in this

research program. He emphasized that tire laboratory's research should be beamed to the W.I.C.'s needs, and further that the W.I.C. should be interested in the research program. Dr. Dickinson pointed to the appalling fact that only .008/o was spent

for researcl.r in the lumber industry in 1953 as comparecl to the chemical industrv with 3/o, paint rvith L7o/r:, and primary metals with 9%. He emphasized that this r'vas r-rot enough to maintain our "place in the sun," and stated that the State of California is already trying to help our indtts-

try, and he pleaded that we help them in the venture. Byron K. Taylor then gave a report on where the W.I.C. had been and, especially, where it is going. He stated that our great challenge lies in the fact that this is a nerv era of new materials. He pointed out that the architects owe the woodworking industry nothing-they have no reason to subsidize our industry by giving preference to tvood over other materials. Mr. Taylor expressed a real satisfaction with the fact that the panel members in the morning, and Dr. Dickinson in the afternoon, came "right to the point" rvith a very real grasp of some of the problems that confront us. "I am dismayed u'ith tl-re fact that none in our industry approaches vocational education," he said, "to let them know what kind of mechanics and junior executives we need." He recommended that W.I.C. work with the vocational educators in the state. He asked that we be willing to spend money and time with the Forest Products Research Laboratory. He suggested that we stop blaming architects for poor design, and give them some new contemporary

ideas ourselves. "Wholehearted support of the Woodwork Institute is not a matter of being something that we give," said Mr. Taylor, "but a matter of absolute necessity for our survival. The institution and the continuation of programs in research in vocational education and architectural cooperation are costly but they are an absolute necessity !"

Georgia-l'acific Corporation,'n'hich purchased the assets of the Hammond l-umber Company last October for $75,000,000, announces that its reorganization of personnel at the Hammond mills is nou' completed. Earl B. Birmingham, president of the wholly-or'r'ned subsidiary, HammondCalifornia Redu'ood Co., stated that :rll of the organiza' tional changes 'rvhich rvere necessary to conform lr,ith the set-up of the parent company had been made, and announced the follorving appointments at managerial levels: D. D. Dashney has been appointed I\'fanager of Saw'mills for the entire Hammond operation. He u'as formerly executive vice-president of the Coos Bav Lumber Company, u'hich rvas also acclnired by Georgia-Pacific Corporation last srrmmer. I{ay A. Talvola, r'ith 29 years' employrnent in the Hamrnond organization, has been appointed controller, and Gray G. Evans, rvith 23 years of Hammond background, has been put in charge of all timberland and logg'ing operations rvith the title of logging manager. Mr. Birmingham st;rted that the company's objective from here on out rvould be to operate the Hammond mills to the maximum capacity that the company's timber rederves will permit on a sustained yield basis. He said that these reserves were sufficient to permit an increase in the pres€nt rate of production, and that the limitations to a sustained yielrl progranr \\'as for the purpose of insuring continuous operation of the millS in this location. He also stated that, in 1ins lvith the parent company's program to obtain maximum utilization of its timber re-

serves, the possibility of a plyu,ood operation at this loca-

tion was now being studied and that long range plans may r,r'ell include utilization of waste for the marrnfacture of pulp and paper. Georgia-Pacific is one of the country's largest mltnttfacturers of plywood, lumber and rvood specialties, and is no'n' building a 250-ton (daily) pulp ar-rd paper mil1 adjacent tcr its saw and plyu'ood mills in Tciledo, Oregon. Its timber holdings rank among the largest irr North America and, with the acquisition last year of the Coos Bay Lttmber Company and the Hammond I-ttn.rber Company, its annual sales for 1957 u'ill run in the vicinitv of $150,01trt,000.

This first installation is at the Sandpoint, Idaho, planing mill of Pack l{iver Lrrmber Company and is estinrated bv officials to have effected a 35 to 40/o sav\ng in time in the movement of lumber, as rvell as making a marked contribution to general operating efficiency.

Tried The foursome of oldsters got caught out on the golf course in a sudden cold rain, and by the time they got back to the clubhouse they were both wet and chilled. Promptly, they got into hot shower baths, and three of them ordered hot liquor to help warm them up. The fourth member, the old Judge, was bone-dry both in his politics and in his living, and declined to accept any whiskey, although the others urged h.im. "Judge," one of them said, "have you ever tried a good stiff slug of whiskey?" "No," said the Judge, with a grin that was also dry, "but f've tried many a fellow who had." The lost Companion Somewhere, in a nameless yesterday, We parted paths, myself and I: He took a road leaf-fringed and gay That wedged into a wood and sky. I took another, thronged by men, The path that fools and dullards know; Sometimes we almost meet again, As in the old days, long ago. Sometimes I glimpse him in a town,

In a wintry dusk, when twilight falls Like the tawny hand of trme across A street of old, familiar walls; And there are days his path meets mine Down a wood we loved in a long-lost spring, But his eyes have a stranger's vacuous look, Unwarmed and unawakening.

His was the secret way of dreams; Mine was the path of the world's command. Oh, when shall we ever walk again, As in the old days, hand in hand? Fqme ' On a train some years ago a portly church dignitary was approached by a slightly inebriated young chap who in-

vited him to join a card game. The bishop quite naturally refused. And something in his manner may have been a tip-off, for his chance acquaintance asked: "Shay, are you a preacher?" "I am a Southern Methodist bishop." "southern Methodist? Gosh! Always thought that wash a football t€am."

Bolm Live in the sweetness of the now, and take Its essence to your lips to comfort you; Then, though the end may cause your heart to break, Some healing balm will come along with rueHe who has known loveliness is wiseSome beauty always lingers in his eyes.

Notice to Speeders This signed advertisement appeared in a 1917 issue of the Hancock County (O.) Democrat: "Several times recently the life of my wife and my own life have been placed in jeopardy by reckless automobiles, selfishly, regardless of the safety of no one's life and limb but their own. To all such miserable whelps, I wish to say with all the emphasis which the law will permit me to use in print that I have provided myself with a 48-caliber

revolver and have it loaded. When I drive out behind my old family mare and any Kansas City dude or woodenheaded resident of this or any other community tries recklessly to run me down, I will, to the best of my ability, endeavor to perforate his tires and his legs. This is no idle threat, as anyone who tests the matter will find to his sorrow. Things have come to a pretty pass Vuhen a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen can not use the highway except at the risk of being killed by some lop-eared lout with a 2x4 brain and a 10x12 gall.

Mqsonife High in Survey fn a recent survey of coupons answered in Nlasonite Corporation consumer advertising, 14.4% mentioned Masonite products used in home projects completed or building. This was the highest percentage-mention of all brands named, according to James H. Hurley, advertising manager. Conducted by the company's advertising agency, the Buchen Company, without identifying its client or its product in any manner, the survey brought out that the rating of Masonite products had risen in the percentage of mentions from second in 1953 to first. "Lumber" rvas mentioned by almost 2l/o and "plywood" by 6.2/o. Two-thirds of the projects completed or started by the respondents were the work of the owners themselves, 23/o of the owners and a carpenter or contractor, and I0/o of a contractor only. "Which manufacturer's booklets did you find most helpful?" was answered by 62.4/o in favor of Masonite

T\TENTY.FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY As reported in The California Lumber Merchant February 15, 1932 Merchandising plans and ideas dominated the annual meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. at the Winthrop hotel, Tacoma, January 29, and grade-marking, research, aclvertising, and fabrication of lumber were recommended by the speakers. J. D. Tennant, I.ong-Bell Lumber Co., was president of the WCLA. Col. W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager, talked on the opportunities in pushing grade-marked lumber and I. N. Tate, general manager of

Gerken lvas appointed general manager of the Sunset Lumber Co., Oakland. The Douglas Fir Plywood Association entered its secorrd year of national advertising with 1932. "Remodeling old homes and business buildings is very likely to be the mainstay of 1932 activity," said A. R. Wuest of the DFPA, announcing $6500 in cash prizes for the best uses of plys'ood in a contest. Sam T. Hayrvard had another stimulating article in this issue challenging Los Angeles dealers to get off the dime. Ife wrote that the local industry had a "Moses in the Wilderness" in the person of Dealer Harry Lake of Garden Grove, and urged L.

Hawaiian Cane Products, Ltd., started in business in Hilo, Har,l'aii, rvith the ne'n' cane-fiber structural insulation product, Canec.

Nqtioncrl Deqlers ro Vigorously Oppose Freight Rqte Increose At the December meeting of the board o{ directors, it rvas determined that the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association should consider intervening in the pending freight rate increase proceedings (Ex Parte 205) and, if such inter-

vention 'rvas found practicable and advisable, to go forward u,ith the preparation of a case in opposition to such increase.

Follou'ing the l)ecember meeting, a number of confer-

Under the procedure in Ex Parte 206, evidence in oppositic-rn to the increase must be presented in the form of verified statements and the person making the statemer-rt l'ill be subject to cross-ex:rurination upon tl.re statement. After a number of conferences r,vith attornies u'ho practice before the Interstate Commerce Comrllission, Bvron Gray, attorney of Topeka, Kansas, was employed to represent the national association throughout the proceedings, and Miles Colean, a nationally-known economist in the field of housing and cc.rnstructinn, was employed to conduct the research necessary f<lr the Pr()Per prellltration of the verified statement. The deadline set by the cotnmission for filing verified statements in opposition to the increase l'as originally set for February L but the NRLDA u'as confiderrt that this deadline n'ould be extended by the commission. '\{r. Gray, Mr. Colean and members of the national staff late last month 'n'ere in close collaboration and expect to have the verified statement in final form in the near future.

SUGGESTED SAFETY RUTES IN IUIIBER YARDS

(Courtesy of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association) 1. Lift with your legs-not rvith your back. Keep your back straight, squat and lift rvith your leg muscles. Don't twist your body while handling material. To turn, shift your feet. Any object that car-rnot be handled in this way should be carried by trvo or more men. 2. When two or more persons are lifting or carrying an object, one should be designated leader and he should give all directions. The workers should lift or lower and step in uni56n-nsver change your grip n'hile the object is being lifted, carried or lowered. 3. Be on the alert at all times against the hazards of moving equipment such as carriers, trttcks, tractors and

lift trucks. 4. Ahvays stand in the clear while loads are being moved. 5. Do not ride on the side of a carrier or truck or on the forks of a lift truck, or on the sling of a crane. 6. Many serious injuries have been prevented throtrgh the use of l.rard-top hats, safety-toe shoes, and goggles. 7. Always use the proper type of gloves for the job. For handling lumber and material presenting a splinter hazard, gloves with specifically reinforced palms are suggested. 8. Remove all scrap metal, blocks, and sticks from the area where sorting, stacking or piling is being performed.

9. When using hand truck or dolly, be sure your load is securely stacked. 10. When stacking lumber, keep the front sides and tiers straight and even by placing one piece directly over the other. Place stickers'as directed, one directly over the other the full r.vidth of the stack, but never allorv stickers to protrude beyond the outsi<le edge of the pile.

It requires tl-rree trucks to keep up rvith delivery and one lift truck to keep them on the road n'ell-loacled. For the quick-order clepartment, it requires five units of service machinery in the small mill to take care of the trade. Blue Star has gror,vn r,vith the South Gate-Lynu'ood community. Satisfied customers have been the yard's best advertisement. As the population has grou,n in the south Los Angeles city, so has the Blue Star Lumber Co.

President Eisenhower Lquds Home lmprovement Gompoign Presidcnt Eisenhower has given a further boost to Operation Home Improvement, the multi-industry campaign to interest nlore American families in improving their properties, in a mcssage to Albert M. Cole, administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, cornmending the building and lending

industries for "the splendid job they have done in making 1956 such a successful 'Home Improvement Year'." The President also predicted that 1957 will be a "banner year for Operation Home fmprovement," with "continuecl progress in this important area of our econorry." He added that "the modernization of our peoples' dwelling places has the whole-hearted support of federal, state and local govcrnments.tt

Building industry sources indicate that the home remodeling and repair market amounted to $15 billion in 1956, a $3 billion increase over the previous year. Sources in the financing industry indicate that bank lending for home improvement increased l8/o during this past year. According to John R. Doscher, Executive Director of the OHI campaign, this rrarket may reach $18 billion in 1957. Half of that amount will be contractor business, and the rest of the work u'ill be dor.re by the homeowner himself, Doscher said. Doscher stated that one of the major factors contributing to the success of the OHI program is the decline in new home building. Dealers and contractors who formerly lr''ere too busy building new houses are now becoming active in remocleling work. The federal government and industry agree that there is more than enough work in remodeling to keep the construction industry busy and expanding to meet the housing boom of the 1960's. Today 25,000,000 houses are over 25 years olrl. The majority of postwar houses which were built to sell at the lowest price possible are also in the market because they are too small for today's larger families. There are two basic problems in expanding this important market, according to Doscher: First to stimulate homeowners to repair and improve their properties, and then to makc it easier for them to obtain the advice, materials, financing and labor. The Operation Home fmprovement campaign is the industry's effort to help solve both of these problems.

Johns-Monville Mops Exponsion Johns-Manville will spend $35,000,000 on plant expansion in 1957, establishing an all-time investment recorcl for the company in any one year, according to A. R. Fisher, president, who told 190 company executives and sales representatives in New York for a three-dav conference that this would bring the total spent by Jthns-Manr.ille on plant expansion and modernization since 1945 to more than $215,000,000. Mr. Fisher said that Johns-Manville rvas not thinking just of next year but t'as planning for the next decade, and that the company intended to gror,v just a little faster than the expanding national economy. He said 1957 should be another good year for business, all factors considered.

Despite the tight money situation, he told the J-M executives and buildir-rg products division sales representatives that consumers have billions of dollars more to spend in 1957 than in 1956.

Harold R. Berlin, vice-president and general manager of the J-M building products division, pointed out that sutrstantial production of J-M building materials is cons.igned to nerv construction in the industrial, commercial and institutional field all over the nation, rn'hich has expanded 69/o in the last 10 years. The Neu' York conference last month u'as the third of a series of J-M sales meetings throughout the country. The fourth and last meeting rvill be at San Francisco, Febrtary 26 to 28.

December Housing Storrs-64rooo; tofof 1956 Storts-l ,12O,2OO Units &,OCA nerv nonfarm drvelling units started in December

brings the total preliminary estimate of starts for the year 1956 up to 1,120,200 units. The preliminary total of starts for 1956 includes 23,400 units of public housing, compared with 19,400 for 1955. The preliminary estimate for 1956 is 208,700 units less than 1955, with private starts 212,7@ units less. 1956 is the eighth successive year in which starts have gone over the million mark, reported the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics announced starts in December 1956 declined about as anticipated at that time of the year to 64,00O units-down 2O/o from November. Privately owned housing, which included virtually all units begun in December, was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,030,000 units. After show-

ing a generally downward trend to the year's lou'of 1,008,000 units in September, the seasonally adjusted rate steadied and averaged 1,047,@O units in the final qtlarter

of 1956. The 1956 total of l,LzO,zOO private and public units rvas down 16/o from 1955 and 8/o from 1954, but u'as about the same as annual totals in the 1951-53 period. When allorvance is made for population growth, however, the 1956 rate

of homebuilding (new nonfarm drvelling units per 10,000 nonfarm population) rvas the lowest since the early postwar years. Almost all of the decrease from 1955 occurred in metropolitan areas, and in units started under FHA and VA programs, which tend to be concentrated in metropolitan suburbs. In general, however, the distribution of ner,v housing among the four broad geographic regions remained about the same. As in 1955, nearly 90/. of all neu' housing last year coirsisted of l-family houses.
