How Lrumber Lrooks

Portland, Oregon, February 24-January lumber production in the Douglas fir region fell off sharply as a result of the west's worst winter in 56 years, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Logging is at a virtual standstill through the western half of Oregon and Washington, Simpson said, and deep snows, twice and three times normal depths, may dela-v reopening of many logging camps. Hundreds of small sawmills are closed because of a shortage of sawlogs' Most large mills and medium sized mills are operating from cold deck log storage, but these supplies may be exhauseed before log input can be resumed, Simpson reported.

January lumber production for the Douglas fir regiorr was 485,465,000 board feet, off 260 million feet from 1948. Shipments for the month kept pace with lumber manufactured, Simpson pointed out, averaging 125,296,000 board feet a week.

Severe winter weather caused many operational problerrs, the lumber leader said. Mill ponds were frozen for clays at a time. Most serious damage is to logging roads, 'ivhere excess moisture and freezing has done untold injury. Planting of the record crop of 8 million trees frotn the industry nursery at Nisqually has been delayed two months by deep snows in the areas to be planted.

The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production

in January was 121,366,000 board feet or 78.6% of the 1943-1948 average. Orders averaged 148,649,000 board feet; Shipments 125,D6,000 board feet. Weekly averages for Decemberivere: Production 135,419,000 board feet (87.7% of the 1943-1948 average); Orders 130,626,000 board feet; Shipments 126,924,W board feet.

Four r'veeks of 1949 cumulative production 485,465,000 board feet; four r'veeks of 1948, 745,214'Cf,0 board feet; four weeks ol 1947,633,102,000 board feet.

Orders for four weeks ol 1949 break-dorvn as follorvs: Rail 442.010.000 board feet. Truck 20,558,000 board feet' Domestic Cargo 101,050,000 board feet. Export 36,076,000 board feet. Local 34,903,000 board feet.

\(/estern Pine Association Annual Meeting

San Francisco, Feb. 1S-American business management must correct two serious operational errors if it is tu survive, members of the Western Pine Association rvere told today as they ended their annual two-day meeting here.

S. V. Fullaway,Jr., secretary-manager, told lumber nran-. trfacturers Irom 12 western states that managemer-rt has erred in iailing to sell the free enterprise system to America's voters and is guilty of demanding governmental economy in principle but not in personal practice.

His address followed a review of the association and industry records during 1948 by retiring president Homer Il. Jamison of Fresno, Calif., and rvas follorved by a report oi the 1949 construction outlook by W. E. Griffee, assistairt. to Fullarvay in the organization's Portland headquarters.

The first error of management is one of omission, Fullaway said, and involves its failure to meet the inescapablc obligation of informing its employes and the public of thc mechanics, advantages and opportunities in the Americar.r democratic system. "\\re have failed," he declared, "to merchandise the system of free enterprise to the voters of America."

Noting that, historically, 95 per cent of the people har'.r depended upon the remaining five per cent for leadershilr, the Portland lumberman recounted that leadership implies responsibility, r'ision and an interest in thc system rvhich permits it.

"Leadership is a problem of management," he said. "You cannot escape responsibility for it. First and foremost, it is an obligation 'lvhich must be redeemed as a public trust inherent in the management function. It is a real challenge to all of us."

Fullalvay listed the second management error as one of comrnission. "Irractically every business and industrl' group in this great land of ours is outspoken as to the vital need for economy in government," he saicl. "The motir.e is trvo-fold. Waste in goverument meaus ecotromic loss and higher taxes. Also, the bigger the governmer.rt the greater are the controls and tl-re nearer is the approach t,-r state socialism.

"Bnt management, itself, is in no small l.neasure respon' sible for the failure to attain such economy and thus to prevent the continued grou'th of governurent. Despite strong statements of policy on this subject bv almost cvety segment of business and industry, these same grouPs, or the individuals l'hich compose them, are in the aggregateconstantly campaigning Ior or supporting approprilttions for government which they expect l'ill serve their orvn selfish interests. They are for economy in government ut.tless that economy rvill affect their ou'n pocketbooks arlversely.

"The result is obvious. We have no economv in govern ment. One or more presstlre groups can be found to support almost any conceivable plan for spending tax money and such support is only too often the force which brings approval. In addition, any opposition by business and in'

dustry is thoroughly discredited because of this failure tcr be consistent."

"Do not forget," he warned, "that every new or enlarged appropriation drarvs the rope of control just a little tighter around the neck of private enterprise and takes us just another step tolvards bigger government and eventual statt: socialism."

Nearing the 20th anniversary of his association with thc Western Pine industry, Fullarvay also reviewed the past tr'vo decades which have seen clepression and prosperity, t'ar and peace, free economy and controlled. Through it all, he said, the industry has come through economically healthy with a larger sense of its public responsibilities ancl of its obligations to those it directly serves.

Jamison, president of the association since 1947 and heacl of the l3yles-Jamison Lumber company in Fresno, revier'r'ed industry performance, noting that production hit a record volume of more than seven billion board feet and shipments reached an unprecedented high of 6-3/1 billion during 1948.

Citing the overtaking of demand Lry supply as 1948 dren' to a close, he said this change may r,vell be a good one atrrl mean a healthier economic atmosphere for our industry. "It is a return to more norrnal competitive conditions and there will be a need for more emphasis on product qualitv, on lumber trade promotion ancl on current market infornratiorr," he declared.

"The unexpected turn in political events should indicaic that our industry may have problems ahead in legislatir,e and government control matters," Jamison pointed out.

He reported that mill inventories at the end of 1948 about equaled those at the close of 1941 bttt rvere still considerably lorver than tl.rose of the average pre-\\rar vear.

Jamison reported the association gained 71 nerv members during 1948 to bring total membership to 288 companies operating 300 plants. He said that 72 new Tree Farms rvere certified to bring total farms to 204 covering 2,710,@0 acres. (Eight ner'r' 1949 Tree Farn.rs were certified at the mceting to 1-roist the totals to 272 tracts covering 2,943,383 acres. )

Griffee, assessing the construction outlook for 1949, cited government estimates indicating a drop of less than six per cent in residential construction but, he saicl, "f can't hclp but feel that the estimate is overly optimistic." Horvcver, rvhilc housing constructiou is down from 1948, thr: au.arcls for l-reavy construction have been running far aheacl of last year, he noted.

Griffee said he was surprised at the number of good arguments advanced by economists on both sides of the question of tl-re possible trend of industrial production and price levels. "Even the President's hand-picked Council of Economic Advisers can't agree among themselves upon whether rve are in for some further inflation or mild deflation."

"Apparently," he said, "it is only the prospects of defia-

*-*t** Maclaren

The other day, it being the birthday of one Abraham Lincoln, President Truman made a formal visit to the tomb of the Great Emancipator, and laid thereon a floral tribute. It occurred to me that in addition to so doing, he might well read, consider, and give serious thought at this time to some of the philosophies Lincoln left us for guidance. For some of the serious things that confront us right now seem to me to be in terrific contrast to the preachings of Honest Abe'

* >r *

For instance, Lificoln once said this: "You cannot help the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer." If you, gentle reader, wil stop and consider some of the matters before Congress today, you will, I feel certain, discover wide discrepancies between some of the proposed legislation, and the above words of Lincoln.

t:F{<

Lincoln also said r "You cannot encourage the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred." Ever since the spring of 1933 class hatred has been engendered by our government at Washington.

*r&*

Some other bits of Lincoln wisdom that are most unpopular today and have been for a long time, follow. You will find no trouble in recognizing their significance in the light of our present situation, conditions, and prospects. TheY followt

* ':: *

"You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence." (There is a remark that fails to fit in with these gimme, gimme days of government suPPort') {< '! *

"You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." (A large majority of all humans are born lazy, and stay that way. To make it possible for them to live with the least possible effort is to destroy their fiber permanently.)

"You cannot keep rrra ; a-"0* by spending more than you earn." (For a decade we tried to spend our way out of depression and at the end of that time we had twelve million unemployed, and our debts had grown to staggering proportions. And then there was that idiotic idea that we owed it to ourselves, so why worry about our debt?)

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift." (Through all the years of the New Deal thrift was a hated word, because we were supposed to spend our way out of depression.)

* ::< ,<

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men." (Many a simple sermon can be preached with that remark for a text. Lincoln believed in the merit system, by which men got what they deserved, and had to d.eserve things in order to get them. He did not believe that all men were of equal size, brains, ability.) *>F*

"You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich." (That is another text with limitless possibilities, that could be used to point the folly *of f"Xt of our present ways.)

These are but a few of the immortal gems of thought uttered by the great Lincoln, that seem to me to point critical fingers at many of our present ways of life. Particularly is it true that the course we have been pursuing since 1933 and are still persevering with, would certainly destroy that "initiative and independence" upon which all American greatness t" toyd:U.*

On Lincoln's birthday the Los Angeles Times wisely remarked: "By adhering to the moral and intellectual and spiritual wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, the people and government of the United States may be strong and prosperous and free. By violation of his essential principles of good government and proper human conduct, they weaken and lower themselves, and lose their own integrity and the esteem of the world. Abraham Lincoln is immortal because the wealth of his words and wisdom is inexhaustible, and we can always refresh and enrich ourselves by recalling his couirsel'"

Let us refresh our memories and clarify our thinking in these trotrblous times, by considering the vast meaning of his words of advice. Since all thinkers of all nations have long agreed that Lincoln is one of the few really great men of all human history, should we not emulate him so far as we are able, and follow his sage advice? But are we doing so? Compare the short gems of his wisdom quoted above with what we see about us today, and see how far we have drifted and are still drifting from Lincolnism.

Take It." Looks like it's that way about the President's demand lor more income taxes. A month ago he was asked if a continued high level of economy wouldn't make the increased tax bill unnecessary, and he said no, that in such case it would be necessary to collect the higher taxes in order to drain off that much from the pockets of the nation to prevent greater inflation.

Now they are talking "n.t, "Jor,, " "business recession." Lots of folks agree that we are in one. It was calmly discussed with the President at a press conference, and he was asked if a business recession would not make higher income taxes unwise. He said no, that in case of a recession the income of the government would be reduced, and additional taxes would be all the more neLessary to pay government expenses, which, even in recession, would be high as ever.

So, it seems, it's hell either way you take it, and we must pay the increased income taxes no matter what happens. Which is a reminder of the dumb movie actress who heard someone say that the government was figuring on increasing taxes on all'incomes above six thousand dollars' She said "Well, that lets me out-I only get nine hundred a week'tt

Too bad all Americans cannot read the words that Superior Judge C. M. flanson, of Los Angeles, uttered the other day in a law suit concerning the ten high-salaried movie writers and directors who refused to answer the Congressional Committee on Un-Americanism when they were asked to state whether or not they were Communists. He said, in part, that "a person who is unwilling to state publicly, under any and all circumstances, whether he is or is not a Communist, is regarded in America as a Communist"'

Again he said: "It is difficult to see why a private employer may not discharge an employe on the sole ground that he is a Communist," and he continued by saying that in California the Communist Party is not allowed on the ballot, and that "to charge a person with being a Communist is as defamatory as to charge him with being a murdefer, a saboteur, or a thief."

And he made the further positive statement that in his opinion, when an employe of a California firm is a Communist, that indirectly defames the employer. That is an opinion worth mulling ot*.t.* *

Which serves to remind us that Vishinsky, the Soviet's most blood-hungry ax, is very ill, and apparently in bad mental condition. The only wonder is that a conscience with so much blood on it did not explode its owner long before'

* i< >F

Vishinsky is the Soviet lawyer who expressed the public opinion that "the foes of Socialism have ho rights under Soviet law." With such a platform of injustice it is not difficult to understand the Russian processes of law, which offer only a travesty on justice, and then death to the defendant.

*{<*

I like the Army Air Force gag about the new rocket and jet planes, which says: "If you can see 'em-they're obsolete." ***

And a firm that exterminates roaches and ants and other insects, has a sign over the door that reads: "All our patients die."

From August 1934 through December 1948 the Federal Housing Administration insured $3,338,550,28g of property Improvement Loans under Title I of the National Housing Act, it was announced recently by Arthur J. Frentz, assistant commissioner.

More than Bl mrllion families throughout the country have been provided rvith better housing through this doilar amount of loans advanced by private lending institutions and insured by the FHA since the start of this program in 1934, Mr. Frentz said.

The provisions under Title I of the National Housing Act cover five types of loans. These loans are for the repair, alteration, improvement and conversion of existing structures, and for the construction of certain other types of new structures, including Class 3 small homes with a maximum mortgage of $4,500.

Los Angeles Home Show

Answering the increased enthusiasm already shown in the 1949 National Home and Building Exposition to be lreld June 2-12, Pan-Pacific Auditorium, Earl T. Heitschmidt, exposition president, recently announced that one_ third more exhibit area has been arranged for this year. Ilxhibit space in the show is now 80/o sold out.

The Los Angeles show, owned and operated by a non-

profit corporation sponsored by thirteen major construc_ tion trade associations and the Chamber of Commerce, has become recognized as one of the leading exposition of its kind in the nation.

In acldition to the officers named above, the follou'ing eight clirectors u,ere elected at the Association's annual meeting: E. J. Curtis, Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton. Iorva; H. R. Dixon, Western Pine Manufacturing Conrpany, Limited, Spokane, Washington1, I. L.

Cameron & Company, Inc., Wholesale, Waco, Texas; and J. F. Young, Anson & Gilkey Company, Merrill, Wisconsin.

Ormie C. Lance, secretary-manager of the association, states that four important steps were taken at the meeting rvhich \\rill insure better service and high quality of Ponclerosa Pine r,t,oodu'ork in the near future' Larger production is in prospect. "During 1948 our 30 member factories increasecl their production of doors, sash and frames approximately ll/o over 1947 and with a somewhat irnproved supply of pine shop lumber should make a still larger increase in 1949" Lance said. "This should insure promptel' shipnrer.rts and better service tn 7919 than thc industry has been able to give since World War II. On the subject of improved c1uality, our members aPproved a resoltttion to make preservative treatment of all exterior lvoodwork stanclarcl industry practice thus insuring longer life and greater satisfaction with Ponderosa Pine rvindorvs, frames ancl exterior doors" saicl Lance in his report' Another foru'ard step, according to Mr. Lance, will be the launching of a nerv erlucational program, nation-rvide in scope, to point out to all segments of the home-building industry ih" ,o,ring, in costs which can be effected by using modular dimensioned products, including modular stock wirtdo.u,s and sash. The National Door Manufactttrers Asscciation adopted the moclular standard in 1945 for stock

windolvs and sash, thus replacing the ten or more local or regional standards. As a third step in NDMA's l9l9 pro_ gram, Mr. Lance reports that special committees will un_ dertake the revision of the grading rules for doors, rvindows and frames in a determined effort to conserve lum_ ber to the maximum without sacrificing quality or durability of stock 'ivoodrvork products. The fourth important program lor 1949 .ivill be the inauguration of a commercial standard for hardwood veneered doors, both solid-core ancl hollow-core.

SidelinesFromForest Products

(From Arizona Dailv Sun)

Flagstaff, Arizona: "Your forests are one of your greatest economic assets," George M. Hunt, director of the Forest Products laboratory at Madison, Wis', told a gathering of more than 100 interested Flagstaff residents and visitors at a dinner meeting Wednesday night, February 2nd'

The forests in this area are such that call for diversified utilization if the most is to be obtained from them, the speaker emphasized. "With wise use, they should yield many benefits. But it will take real pioneering and business leadership."

Production of molasses from wood waste was a project that drew considerable attention in the forest expert's address and captured the attention of the audience as well'

The basic process was discovered more than 100 years ago in Sweden but in the century since then the process has been improved until now it is possible to obtain a ton of molasses from a ton of wood chips, Hunt said'

In addition, work is being pushed on {urther simplification of the process to make it even more practical from an economical standPoint.

Production of molasses would be especially suited to rvood waste from the forests of this area because it could then be converted fairly easily into stock food, thus further integrating the area's economy.

Sportsmen's Show Will Fecrture Logrolling crnd WoodchoPPing Contests

The,California Sportsmen's and Vacation Show, to be held in the Hollywood Gilmore Stadium April 14 to 24, this year will feature competition in logrolling and woodchopping between championship teams Trom all parts of the countrY.

This year the West Coast enters the competition and will be represented by three Pacific Northwesterners, Russ E,llison of Aberdeen, \Mash., and Eddie and Jimmy Herron of Kelso, Wash. Promising to give their opponents plenty of trouble are the champions 'Watson and Eber Peck and Joe King, rn ho will represent the East Coast lumber industries.

In addition to the Llse as a supplemental livestock feed, the molasses can be fermented to produce alcohol, it can be made to produce yeast for feeding, or it can be converted into various chemicals by fermentation or otherwise'

With the present methods in use, a plant able to produce 30 to 50 tons daily would be required to be economically feasible. An investment of between $100,000 and $500,000 would be required to build such a plant, it was estimated'

Hunt emphasized in the beginning of his talk that while many products may be made from wood from a purely technical stantlpoint, good business management and good salesmanship are necessary for success' "Too many people think only of the details of the process and too few have the business acumen necessary for successful operation"' he warned.

Other methods of utilizing rvood from local {orests which drew attention included properly treated fence posts, telephone poles, and crossties; and conversion of rvood waste into electrical power, as is done at the Southrvest and Saginaw mills in Flagstaff.

Roland Rotty, supervisor of Coconino national forest presided at the dinner. out-of-town visitors rvere introduced by Otto Lindh, Albuquerque, assistant regional forester'

Lumber Manufacturing Industry ls Opposed To Any Change in Fair Labor Standard Act

Washington, D. C., February 7, l94g-*The lumber manufacturing industry is opposed in principle.to any change in the Fair Labor Standard Act," Walter W. Kellogg, representing the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and the Southern Hardwood Producers, Inc., told the llouse Committee on E,ducation and Labor last week.

Mr. Kellogg pointed out that it would ultimately result in a lowering of the standard of living of the marginal unskilled worker whom the proposed changes were designeci to help. The lumber industry spokesman, who is president of Kellogg Lumber Company, pointed out that such changes as advocated would be tantamount to saying, ,,!Ve will repeal the law of supply and demand.', He added, .,To fix a minimum wage floor by legislation is to state in effect that a business recession the size and type of whicir would necessitate a lower minimum rate in order to keeo our plants open, and to provide benefits for the *o.kers, is prohibited by law."

The witness read into the record a statement by Mr. A. J. Glassow, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, which had been presented to the Committee at a previous hearing. Mr. Glassorv's statement read:

"Wages are a primary consideration in the competitivc relationship betu'een. the various segments of the lumber

industry. While it might be argued that theoretically the higher wage areas of the Western lumber industry would benefit by an arbitrary statutory increase in wages in other regions, the question we are here considering is far more important than such a petty and transitory consideration, We must recognize that freedom of individual enterprise and government regulation are incompatible. We do not want the government to establish arbitrary rules of cortrpetition that will ultimately destroy our freedom and result eventually in complete regimentation. We rvould much rather 'take the bitter with the sweet' and have real competition, now and all the time."

Decorated Panels

The Celotex Corporation has added two nerv grades of panels to their line, Celochrome and Lustertile. The new panels are four foot wide sheets of tempered hardboard to wl-rich are fused hard, colorful, plastic finishes, giving the effect of ceramic wall surfaces, and are particularly suited lor use in all service areas of the home and in commerciirl and industrial areas tvl-rich must be kept spotlessly clean.

The merger of Nurvesco Lumber Company and the J. J. Saltzman Lumber Co., both of Portland, wholesale luntber distributing firms, was effected recently. The merged companies will be known as Nuwesco Lumber Company n'ith offices in Portland's neu' Equitable Building.

Proposed Amendments to \(/age-Hour Law

The proposed amendments to the Wage and Hour Lau' discriminate between large and small business to the disadvantage of small businesses. Even farmers 'rvill conte under this law under certain circumstances, Joseph l'. King, Counsel, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washir.rgtor.r, D. C., told the House Education an<l Labor Committee today.

The test that you l-rave been recluested to enact into larv is totally unrealistic ancl cannot be supported on a factual or economic basis, King stated.

"It is doubtful if it is in the best interest of an employee of the retail lumber and building material industry, for cxample, to place him on an hourly basis. To do so ma1' result in more and more scasonal employment," King pointed out. "Excessive costs resulting from time and onehalf overtime during busy periods may be offset by layoffs cluring the rvinter months l'hen construction is at low ebb. 'Ihis is a serious matter, both from tl.re stanclpoint of enrployec and employer."

"Further, if the bill is drarvn to protect employees, then lvhat is the distinction betrveen an employee of a singlc business operator aud an employee of a four-yard operator?" clueried King.

The bill provicles arbitrary classificatior-r o{ sales, hav-

iug no economic foundation, King told the Committee. For example, except for immaterial items of quantities there is no distinction between the sale of a bill of goods requirecl for a dairy barn and a bill o{ goods required to build a commercial garage of comparable size, yet the former would be classified as a retail sale 'rvhile the latter u'ouicl be classified as a non-retail sale.

"If you follow the legal line of argttment of the Administrator and the Courts," King said, "there is hardly a retail store left in the country."

It is not suggested that you remove. from coverage of the Act employees which the sponsors of the legislation intended it to cover, but merely that you clarify the e'xemption rvhich all the sponsors of the original legislatiorr thought r.vas perfectly clear, King concluded.

New Bulletin on Timber Connectors

Washington To aid retail lumber dealers and industrial tinrber salesmen in meeting competition, the Timber E,ngineering Company is norv reminding architects ancl engineers of readily available timber supplies, the advantages of Teco connector construction, and the facilities of timber fabricators throughout the country for promptly fabricating all types of light and heavy frame timber structures.

That timber is now recognized everywhere as an engineering material through the use of the connector system of construction is being re-emphasized to architects and engineers, who are responding by the hundreds for typical designs for spring building.

Pointing out that the efficiency of connectors means a greater use of the inherent strength timber and in the most commonly nsed structural grades of lumber the full working stress may be secured, the Timber Engineering Company also points out the economy of connector construction through the use of less labor and no need of expensive plates, angles and straps. Coupled with these economies are simplified design problems and more pleasing structures.

These telling sales points are aptly shown in a new bulletin "Timber Connectors-Products of Progress,', norv available free upon request from the Timber Engineering Company, \Arashington, D. C.

Economy Housing Program Meeting At Los Angeles

At the Economy Housing Program meeting held at the Alexandria Hotel, Los Angeles, on February 15 one of thc topics of interest was the statement by the Federal Housing Administration regarding local relaxation of construction requirements as they apply to the Economy House. John E. McGovern, District Director of the Federal Housing Administration, empl-rasizes that in connection with the Economy Housing Program it is not the intention of FHA to reduce construction requirements or to attempt to usc a dual set of standards and calls attention of builders wh<t may wish to take advantage of the relaxation of construction requirements, that such variations must be indicated clearly on the drawings and specifications which are submitted, and if these items are not clearly defined the customary features will be estimated and will be required in the completed structures.

"While it is our opinion that those items which are ircluded in these smaller houses must conform to the standards set up in our Minimum Property Requirements," stated Mr. McGovern, "we believe that considerable economies may result from the omission of non-essential items of a nature which can be added at a later time vr,'ithout serious increase in cost because of postponement and rviiliout creating an unfinished house.

"We are willing to omit the garage and garage drivcway provided suitable provisions are made for storage of such articles as garden tools, wheel barrorvs, baby buggies and the like and provided proper space for garage and drive is shorvn. This storage must be suitably placed and consist of at least 200 cu. ft. for a one bedroom house and fifty additional cu. ft. for each additional bedroom.

"The Southern California Disirict Office of the FIIA agrees in connection rvith houses of approximately 850 sq. ft. or less and in cases u'here mortgages are $6,000 or less to permit the postponement, as mentioned above, of the following items, although it is not probable that all of thenr would be permissible in one house:

1. Install a well finished concrete floor slab now and clefer the installation of the finish floor.

2. Install a well sanded T. & G. plank subfloor; of No. 1 common or better material, as a base for carpet, asphalt

tile, wood or linoleum floors which may be installed later. This plank floor may be stained, shellacked and waxed if desired.

3. Subfloor may be omitted when dry wall construction is used provided a vertical grain Douglas fir tongue and grooved flooring or 13/16" hardwood is used.

4. The door between the living room and bedroom-bath hall may be omitted when it is not absolutely essential to privacy, and when a cased opening is provided on rvhicir a door may be hung later.

5. Closet doors may be omitted provided a cased openirrg is furnished on which the door may be hung later.

6. Some kitchen cabinet doors may be omitted and open shelving used provided enough doors are retained to provicle some dust proof storage and the addition of doors in the future is provided for.

7. Paint may be omitted on interior walls and ceilings cxcept where needed for protection to property. If two coats of portland cement piaster finished with one coat of Keene's cement is used around the bathtub recess, or if any otherr,vaterproof wainscot is used at this point, the paint' ing may be deferred.

8. Stain and wax finishes on interior trim are possible by our Minimum Requirements'

9. The partition and door betr'veen the kitchen and dining space or living room may be omitted in cases wherc the sink, drainboard, etc., can be screened from vielv of the living room and where the kitchen is provided s'ith positive mechanical or natural ventilation.

10. In most local areas masonry rvalls u'aterproofed or' the exterior in accordance rvith the Minimum Property Requirements, par. 417-A-6 and with painted interior rvalls rvill be acceptable.

11. Tn'o coat paint sYstems for exterior use rvill be acceptable under the provisions of Bulletin UM-4 u'hich provicles for a certification by the manufacturer and assttranc'l that the paint in question has been applied in accordant:t: with the formula u'ithout reduction.

12. Other economies mentioned rvhich are sometimes possible include the omission of convential plaster ceiling an<l ceiling joists and the substitution of exposed roof construction with possibly 2" T. & G. sheathing on widei,v spaced roof beams.

13. Straight-foru'ard plan layouts u'ithout unnecessar)'

offsets and breaks u'hich complicate framing were reconlmended. Simple exterior treatments which avoid elaborate detail and depend for their beauty on sirnplicity of simple masses, forms, proportions and good placing of openings r.vere advocated.

14. The elimination of useless ornamental features such as false gables, false chimneys, blinds, needlessly complicated roofs was recommended. It is suggested that thr: use of one type of exterior rvall material on a small house rvill produce savipgs through confining the rvork to on(. trade ancl at the same time usually present a more pleasing iippearance because of the avoidance of fussy or complicated details.

Some 400 representatives of the building industry, local and federal agencies, finance, labor and public utilities attended the meeting. City and county building standards, and FHA standards, rvere discussed. The meeting wa:i slronsored bv the FHA.

"Two points upon which nearly all agree are that no nation has yet succeeded in stabilizing its economy at the peak of an inflation and that this time, as never before, thtl continuation bf the boom depends upon the decisions of a relatively few men who are influenced largely by political considerations. If the Federal Reserve Board and Treasury Department were to abandon their artificially easy money policy, the boom would be over in short order.',

But everyone agrees, the pine executive said, that such action is very unlikely.

Griffee recounted that one point of disagreement in Mr. Truman's CEA lay in the number of additional dwellings needed in the United States, and said that some member.s of the council believed that nearly four million housing uni'ts, not included in Bureau of Labor Standards statistics, have been added since the war by modernizing old houses, switching non-residential property to housing and break_ ing large old homes up into apartments.

"This," he declared, "may be why we seem to be catch_ ing up with housing demand faster than was expected.,,

The three addresses featured the final day of the two_ day annual sessions devoted to committee meetings, re_ ports and election of officers.

The election of officers resulted as follows: president, E. C. Olson, Kaniksu Forest Products Co., priest ltiver, Idaho; and E. C. Olson Lumber Co., Spokane, M/ash.; lst Vice President, U. R.

Social Security -r How lt Works

By Ben Gimpelson, Field Representotive Social Security Administration, Los Angeles

Why an article on Social Security? We've had the program for twelve years and its provisions are common kno'ivledge-ask anyone about the program. Yes, and you'd probably get a different answer from every person. The Social Security Act was made into federal law in 1935, amended in 1939 and 1946. Its major provisions cover social insurance, public assistance to the needy, and health and welfare services. The social insurance part of the act is divided into unemployment insurance and old-age and survivors insurance. Of the entire act the Federal Government operates only the old-age and survivors insurance program. The remainder of the act is operated by the States, rn'ith the Federal Government cooperating and contributing funds.

Because of the complexity and lack of uniformity among the state-operated parts of the Social Security Act, this article r,r,ill restrict itself to that portion of the act operated by the Federal Government. In common parlance "social security" refers only to old-age and survivors insurance, recognizable by the familiar social security card.

Old-age and survivors insurance is a program providing regular monthly benefits for insured wage earners when they reach 65 years of age or older and are not working, or to their families when the insured u'orker dies at whatever age. An insured wage earner is a person who rvorks in private industry or business on r,vhat are known as "covered" jobs. Practically any job in a shop, mine, mill, factory, bank, ofifrce or any other place of employment is a "covered" job. Hor'vever, self-employed, agricultural, city, county, state and federal rvorkers, and domestic workers are not coverecl by social security insurance. If there is a doubt regarcling eligibility for social security coverage' information can be obtained lty contacting the local Social Security office.

Benefits for this program are paid out of a trust fund kept by the United States Government and contributed to by the employer and the employee through the means of a one per cent tax on the employee's salary up to $3,@0 per

year and an equi'ralent tax on the employer's pay roll. The amount above $3,000 per year is tax free and is not taken into account when benefits accruing the employee are computed.

The amount of benefits accruing the employee after he reaches 65 years of age is determined by his average monthly earnings up to $250 per month ($3,000 per year) during his employment career.

After his rvife reaches 65 she may be entitled to further benefits in addition to those her husband receives if she has been employed on a "covered" job. If at any time there is a difference between the amount she would receive on the basis of her own employment record and as a survivor or dependent wife, she is entitled to receive the larger amount. I{owever, in order to receive the full amount of these life benefits or practically all survivors benefits, an employee must be "fully" insured. This means that the employee must have worked at least half the time on a "covered" job since the program lvas inaugurated on January 1, 1937, or half the time since tl-re 'rvorker became 21 years old, rvhichever is the later date'

Stated in terms of the law, the year is divided into calendar quarters of three months each' The employee must have receivecl at least $50 per quarter in "covered" jobs for half the quarters between the date of the inauguration of the act, or his 21st birthday, whichever is later' and the date of eligibility. Once an employee has acquired 40 quarters of coverage he is "fully" insured {or life' However, tl-re benefits accruing him do not cease at this time, but continue to increase during his employment on a "covered" job. Also eligibility for full coverage cannot be reached until the employee has rvorked at least six quarters in a "covered" job.

Monthly benefits go to survivors of fully insured persons, at no matter rvhat age death occurs. Hou'ever, if a rvidow

Flowers

How the universal heart of man blesses flowers ! They are wreathed around the cradle, the marriage altar, and the tomb. The Persian in the Far East delights in their perfume, and writes his love in nosegays; while the Indian child of the Far West claps his hands with glee as he gathers the abundant blossoms-the illuminated scriptures of the prairies. The Cupid of the ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows with flovvers, and orange-flowers are a bridal crown with us, a nation of yesterday.

Flowers garlanded the Grecian altar, and hung in votive wreath before the Christian shrine. All these are appropriate uses. Flowers should deck the brow of the youthful bride, for they are in themselves a lovely type of marriage. They should twine round the tomb, for their perpetually renewed beauty is a symbol of the resurrection. They should festoon the altar, for their fragrance and their beauty ascend in perpetual worship before the Most Higlr.

Womctn's Wecrkness

The husband was rushing around looking for his hat, when his wife asked him what he wanted it for.

"That fellow Smith across the street, just phoned and asked if I could lend him a corkscrew," replied the husband.

"Well, why should you deliver it? Let him come and get it, or send over after it," said his wife.

A look of deep sorrow and dejection spread over his countenance.

"My dear," he said, "that remark of yours sums up in its entirety the weakness of woman's wisdom. It is because of such reasoning as that that woman cannot lead armies, control nations, be President, or take any outstanding part in the affairs of the world."

Quick Thinking

A young man was undergoing an examination for a place on the police force, and the examiner said:

"Now assume that you were walking along your scheduled path, and a young woman rushed up to you and reported that a strange man had just grabbed her and kissed her. What would you do?"

"A pretty young woman?" asked the young man.

"Well, let's.say she is a pretty young woman," replied the examiner.

"Well, Sir," said the potential policeman, "there are several things that I would do, but first, with the young lady's assistance, I would suggest reconstructing the crime."

Those Hairs

A guest at a hotel complained to the manager that he had found a hair in the ice cream, h hair in the honey, and a hair in the applesauce. The manager considered the matter. He said:

"I don't entirely understand all those things. I understand the hair in the ice cream; it came from shaving the ice. I understand the hair in the honey; it came from the comb; but I can't understand the hair in the applesauce; they were Baldwins."

Mcrn's Food

What should I eat for dinner?

What should I feed my hide?

Is food that broils

The best for boils

Or best the food that's fried?

Is juicy roast or just plain toast

The best for me to eat?

Shall I devour the food that's sour

Or only food that's sweet?

All very well if I could tell

Just what will do the trick?

And if too thin my blood has been What makes it nice and thick?

Oh well! Oh welM cannot tell It really gets my goat, So I v,rill start with ala carte, And end with table d'hote. I'll make a break for juicy steak, Potatoes and green peas, And then I'll travel all the way From oysters down to cheese. On such a hike I'm sure I'll strike Exactly what I oughter. If not, I'll still have vitaminsor just a glass rt:?:"

Dvck.

Couldnlt Stand It

When the lawyer learned that his client had inherited two million dollars, he remarked to his secretary:

"I'll have to break it to him gently, or the old boy will drop dead."

So he said to his fortunate client:

"Mr. Jones, what would you say if I told you you havi inherited two million dollars?"

The old man grinned, sensing a joke. He said:

"I'd say, 'my good friend, you can have half of it'." And the lawyer dropped dead.

is left alone she must wait until she becomes 65 to get monthly benefits.

But if she l-ras a child or children under 18 years of age in her care she is cntitled to immediate benefits. If there are children ur-rder 18 left r'vith no parental support, they are immediately entitled to benefits. Also, deper.rdent parents are entitled to benefits if the insured person leaves neither children nor widow.

It is not necessary in every case for an employee to have been "fully" insured. For children under 18 and rvidorvs with such children in their care the larv provides monthly benefits even rvhen the employee was only "currently" insured. A "currently" insured employee is one rvho lvorked on a "covered" job during half of the last three years of his life and u'as paid at least $50 during each "quarter" he rvorked.

When the "fully" or "currently" insured person leaves no survivor eligible for monthly benefits, a lump-sum may be paid to the surviving husband or wi{e, if the husband and rvife had been living together. In tl-re event there is no such person surviving, the lump-sum may be paid to those caring for the burial expenses. At the present time this lump-sum may range anywhere between $60 and $268.80, depending upon the employment record of the deceased.

In case of loss of social security card, application should be made at tl.re nearest Social Security office for a duplicate card. Be certain to request a DUPLICATE, not a new card ; otherrvise tr,vo social security account numbers lvill result and there is a good possibility of losing benefits.

Benefits do not come to the insured automatically. Application must be made at the nearest Social Security office u,ithin three months after eligibility has been reached or some payments rvill be lost.

After eligibility has been determined, monthly payments to the insured person or his survivors r'vill be suspended for any month during rvhich the recipient of the benefits earns more than $14.99 in "covered" employment, though payments,qrill continue, no matter the arnonnt earnerl, if in employment not covered by the old-age and survivors insurance program.

There are l>oth top ar.rd bottom limits to the amount o{ money the insured persolt and family or his survivors receive from Social Security. The amount payable ou an inclividual \\'age record cannot be less than $10 per month. It cannot be more tl-ran tr.vice the individual insurance benefit or 80 per cent of the average monthly salarl', or $85, rvhichever is the smallest amount'

Anv n'orker u,ho has been employed in a job covered by the Social Security Act should contact the nearest offrce of the Social Security Administration when he reaches 65 to discuss the matter and be informed of his rights even though l-re does not intend to lile a claim. Also survivors of any person rvho r'vas'rvorking in a job covered by the lau' should communicate u,ith the nearest Social Security ofifrce so that the individual case can be thoroughly studied to deterrnine rvhether any benefits are PaYable.

ln a recent test conducted for the Nerv York Board of Standards and Appeals and the Ner.v Jersey Department of Labor, a door manufactured of fire proofed wood, only 2l inches thick, stopped what is knorvn as a standard fire f.or ll hours. In addition it completely obstructed the passage of the fire and smoke through the doorway. The standard fire used in this test begins at 1,0000 F. at the end of 5 minutes, 1,550o at 30 minutes, 1,7000 at t hour and 1,7920 at 90 minutes.

With softwood flooring, "standard matched" means that the upper lip of the groove is thicker than the lower. The thickness of the lower lip is the same for all standard thicknesses of flooring, and hence the difference between the upper and lower lip becomes more pronounced in the heavier thicknesses.

The determination of r,vorking stresses for structural grades involves consideration of inherent characteristics of a species, its durability and response to conditions oi exposure, and the factor of safety desired.

The Douglas fir region alone of Oregon and Washington encompasses over 35 million acres of which less than 6 million acres are classed either as non-forest land or crop and grazing land, or taken over by townsites. Twenty-six million acres are available for commercial forest use for present and future generations. It is estimated that about 300,000 acres are logged per year; however 50,000 to 60,000 acres of these are only partially cut. This is in sharp contrast to the Southeastern ljnited States where as much as 5 million acres are cut over annually some quite closely and some in very light partial cuttings.

Knots influence the strength of members used in bending, particularly when they are on or near the top or bottom faces within the central portion of the length. Obviously their effect is much less when they are near the middle of the vertical faces and practically negligible rvhen they are near the end of the piece.

When preservative treatment is to be applied to wood, there should be no restriction as to sapwood, as sapwood is easier to treat than heartwood and a large amount is to be preferred.

In 1898 when all railroad ties were untreated, 304 ties for each of the 264,684 miles of railroad track then existing in the U. S. and Canada had to be replaced annually. In 1947, due to preservative treatment, only 117 ties for each of the 379,066 miles of track in operation had to be replaced. Assuming an average cost in place of $2.90 for an untreated tie and $4.00 for a treated tie, this represents an annual saving of 9156,780,870.00.

Heartrvood and sapwood of Douglas fir have been found by the Forest Products Laboratory to be of equal strength.

The ease or difficulty with which satisfactory glued joints are made depends not only upon the kind of wood but also upon the density and structure of the .ivood and the presence of extractives or infiltrated materials in the wood.

Out of over 26 million acres available for commercial forest use in the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington 17l mrllion acres are capable of producing timber crops now, another 3 million acres can contribute to the cut within 20 years, and 5l million acres can be expected to be productive in 30 to ,lO years.

The purpose of structural grades of lumber is to offer means for selecting structural material rvith an assured minimum strength, in order that appropriate r,r'orking stresses may be assigned for its use.

The density of the solid wood substance of trees is practically the same. The dry weight a measure of the amount of r,vood substance on the amount of wood substance present strength of the clear wood.

American Industry Can Adequat ely Care Committee on Labor For Housing Needs, Says G. M. Fuller

Washington, D. C., February 76, 1949-"The Labor' N{anagement Relations Act has brought stability, responsibility, care, and caution to the collective bargaining ta' ble" lttmber industry spokesmen told the Senate Committee on Labor and Education todaY.

George J. Tichy and C. L. Irving, representing the Na" tional Lumber Manufacturers Association and other lum' ber industry groups, rvere rvitnesses opposing repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act.

Both lumber industry representatives told the Committee that paramount interest in tl-ris or any field of legislation should be that of the public and not of any group'

N[r. Tichy, rvl-ro is manager and attorney for Timber Products Association of Spokane, Washington, took a potshot at the Secretary of Labor rvhen he said in closing his stutement, "This, I testify to not as a theoretical conclrrsion or from sitting at a clistance of 3,000 miles from the bargaining table, but from actual day-to-day experience at the bargaining table."

NIr. Irl,ing, r'vho is secretary-mallager of the Pine Indus. trial ltelati,rts Co*nlittee u'ith l"read<luarters in Klamatlt Falls, Oregon, told the Committee, "Years of operations underalaborlawnorvconcededtobeinsuffrcient(the \\ragner Act) taught industrial relations men that neither "r..rpio1r.r. ,-to. ,rniorl, should be the prime beneficiaries oi the la;'. Rather, the lar'v should be zrimed toward the protection of the consuming public and employee citizens'

In commenting upon the requirement of the Taft-Hartley Act requiring an affadavit from labor leaders that they rvere not Communists' and referring to a union favoring retention of this requirement but asking that it be expandecl to ir.rclude emplol'e. representatives' N[r' Tichy said' "l concrlr and I 'n'ould feel no insuit, but only pride' to be able to sign such an affadavit u'hen the occasion arises'"

Mr. Irving, speaking on the same subject said' "In my opinion, theie is o.rly ot'e valid reason {or re{using to sigr-r a non-Communist affidavit, in order to secure the benefits o[ democratic larvs. A Communist should refuse to sigrr the affidavit.

Washington, D. C., February 16, 1949-George M' Fuller, vice president of National Lumber Manufacturers Association told the Senate Banking and Cttrrency Committee today that American industry could adequately care for the housing needs of America'

The lumber organization official blamed maldistribution of housing, rvhich he said was caused by rent control, for any present shortage of housing space' in oppo.itlg the entry of the Federal Government into housing, Mr. Fuller pointed out that the dr'velling space per person in the United States is far greater than in any other country in the rvorld.

Tlle National Lumber Manufacturers Association vicc president told the committee that it would become a part) to renu.tciation of its constitutional duties and preroga' tives, if it favorably reported Ser-rate tsill 138' (This is the Adrninistration-sponsored bill.)

Speaking of the proposal to allow the housing officials cletermine "needs" and "progress," Mr' Fuller said' "ln other u'orcls, these officials are to be the judge of their orvlr accomplishments and the auditor of their orvn books' Therc is no provision for any check whatsoever in this connection, although rve knolv tl.rat statistics of this type arc valicl and useful only lvhctl n.rade by an independent agency."

He also told the committee that his interpretation of the bill rvas such that, housing units-exclusive of land' demolition, public utilities, and streets-could cost $12'500; and that uorvhere was there any indication of the amount oi renttobecollectedforsuchaunit;nor\Yasthereany definition to shorv u'hat income bracket a {amily must be' long to in order to enjoy the benefits of the subsidized Federal public housing proposal'
