This is Our Record

The builders of Carson Park Mutual Homes believe that the following information should interest you whether you contemplate buying a.home-now or in the future; whether you buy it from us or from any other builder. The builders of Carson Park Mutual Homes have built more homes in the last ten years than aoy other builder in the United States.

fnasmuch as a home purchase is one of the greatest investments that,a faaily makes io its lifetime, .we are very proud to make this statement.

Every one of the thousands of homes that we have built and delivered to tatisfied home owners is worth more money today than the day our crrstomers took possession.

This is Our Poli.y

This is uihat we have learned from experience about a house, and tbis bas become our policy: To build the best possible house for the money. To fotego and leave out the frills and gadgets that just dress up a home but that have no inrinsic value and actually make for additional upkeep.

!(e have learned that in Southem California the nights are damp and that the best way to build a house is to have it raised off the ground so that there is an insulated air space betwe€n the floor of the house and the eanh. To build with a sub-floor' of wood and a hardwood floor above costs more money,than a concrete slab, but.is it our opinion that it is better consffuction, and that's how we will build.

I(e have learned that a family grows, and while parents and children are young it may be satisfactorv to eag in the kitchen. But lacer on a definite a dining area is a nEcessity and our policy is to build each home with a dining room.

Ife have learned that the kitchen best serves its

purpose when it is used for the preparation of food and that a separate room is required for laundry work. I7e will continue to build all our houses with a kitchen and a service room.

Ifle have learned that a plaster house is safer and more durable than a house built with dry wall, and although more expensive, we will continue to build with plaster.

S/e havl learned that the best materiais available are best in the long run. Cast iron bathtubs are better than light steel plumbing fixtures and cedar shingle roofs are better than composition roofs. Although these features are more expensive, we will continue to build with the best.

I7e have learned from long experience that the house we deliver should look, and should be, better than the house we show as a model. I7e shall continue our successful policy of showing you what you will get and then giving you a house that is even better.

This is Our New Year's Resolution

We have a fine reputation with our customers; with the various City and County home building authoritiesl with the various Federal agencies that have to do with home financing and insuring, and it is our definite New Year's resolution to continue to merit that reputation.

The mqnufoclurers of CERTIGRADE RED CEDAR SHINGLES grdtefully reproduce the obove odverflsement of the world's lorgest home builders. The slolemenl originotty oppeored in metropolitqn los Angeles newspopers eorly this yeor.

Have you heard about the American flyer in Korea who wrote home and said: "The evenings here are sure dull. We eat supper, play a rubber of gin rurlm/r do a cross-word puzzlb, drop a hundred tons of bombs on the Reds, and go right to bed. Yes, it sure is dull."

We often wish we had the philosophy of an old colored man we used to know. He had more than his share of the trials and tribulations of life, yet he was always cheerful, always smiling, always hoping for the best. Someone asked him one day how come he was always that way, and he said: "Well, Cap'n, I'll tell you how come. I jes' learned l'ong ergo to cooperate wif*de*in1vitable."

The late Ramsay MacDonald, Premier of Great Britain, was making a speech one time on the possibility of creating a lasting peace in this world. A critic interrupted him to say: "The desire for peace does not necessarily insure it." "Quite true," said MacDonald, "Neither does the desire for food satisfy your.hunger; but at least it gets you started toward a restaurant." ***

The old Sergeant said to the squad of rookies: ..Men, bars are things that if you stay out from them and don't rest your elbows too often on them, you might some day get some on your shoulders." ***

, Benjarfiin Taylor \,erote; "It is the mark of superior minds to disagree and yet be friendb." If that's the measuring stick of superior minds, then it looks like very, very few superior minds have appeared in American politics since the oldest man now living can remember.

Ambrose Bierce is credited with the oft-repeated remark that "a rabbit's foot may bring YOU lucl but look what it brought the rabbit." fle was purloining the thought of the guy who said that praising the early bird for catching the worm might be all right from one viewpoint, but where does the worm come in? But, as the Two Black Crows used.to say over the radio: 'Yn: cares about that?"

During the worst part of World War Two in the Pacific, Admiral "Bull" Halsey was widely quoted as saying that if there was anything left of Tokyo when he got ttrere, he'd burn it down. But, the war over, we, as a Christian nation, got real busy building it up instead.

Whenever we hear or read the words of some militant politician lashing out against those who are brave enough to differ with him in opinion, and witness the intolerance

of his self-righteousness, we are remindcd of itc philoeophy of thc ferocious Danton, leader of the Frcnch Revolution, who cried out in a public addreris to the Convention:'Be my brother, or I1l kill you !" +t*

We sorta like tte thinking of the fellow who is quotcd al sayrng that he isn't half as much worricd about what thc future has in store for him, as he irs about what the storc has in future for him. And also the liitcst defnition of a race horse bookie; a man who can run a fortune into a shocstring for you.

The best way to keep from feeling remorseful as yorl stand at the.graveside of a dear fricn4 is to start a lot earlier doing the things you wish you had.

One of th.e most enticing picturcs in American political history is that of Thomas Jefferson and John Adant debating between themselves who should writc the Dcclantion of Independence. A[ ottrers had becn srirninetcrl. t1 was between these two, and Jefferson stoutly Eaintained that Adams must do the job. Finally Adams declarcd: 'I won't do it! You must! Therc are ttrec rcaaons. First, you are a Virginian, and Virginia must tale the lead in thi& Second, I am unpopular pcrsonallS and you are the opposite. And third, YOU CANqI'RITE TEN TIUES BET. TER THAN I CAN!" Tbat settled the debate, and Jefferson wrote it.

What a coincidence that ttese two mcn who did moet to give us our fndependence on the Fourth of July and to made thit date immortd, Thomas Jcfferson and John Adams, both died on the Fourth of July. As Adams dic4 his last thought was of Jefrerson, and he was hcard to say with his last breath: "Thomas Jefferson still survivcs t" But the fact is that Jefrerson had been dead en hour or so before. And his last words wcre: "It is thc Fourth of July!"

Jofferson was perhaps tte bcst-mannered of dl famous Americans. He agreed with Ben Franklin whose motto was: "Never contradict anyone." Rich or poor, pcasant or prince, they all liked Jefferson. I{e was truly a gerrtleman in every meaning of that big word. He was gentle, afrable, genid, and courteousto every one of high or low degree. Nthough ' he lived in times when personal animoaities ran riot and quarrels were the order of the day, he was untouched by his surroundings of such character. IIe never had an altcrcation or personal misunderstanding with anyone. He was never challenged in any personal way. He never entercd into public debates. He wrote: "Neycr entcr into dirpute or

Wonder if Winston Churchill still follows his old method of bathing. We recall reading in a British sheet many years ago that he liked to bathe in warm water, and then sit around in the nude until dry. O.ur own Ben Franklin went him a lot better in that regard..The most enthusiastic believer in fresh air in American history, Franklin used to bathe in cold water regardless of how cold the weather might be, and in a room in which the windows were kept open. After bathing he scorned the qse of a towel but walked or sat around in the cold room until he was dry. He claimed this was why he never had colds. He wbUa spend hours preaching to his friends about the virtues of fresh, cold air.

Once again the American and British governments are growling at one another; disagreeing on political points. This time it's China. But much reading of their mutual history proves to us that British and Americans seem to enjoy fighting together. They've been doing it for nigh onto two centuries now. Sometimes they fight sturdi$r, shoulder to shoulder. And then again they fight manfully, face to face. But they have never at any time whether fighting for or against one another, lost their mutual respect.

That's a nice thought. And a comforting one. Because if the dark days SHOULD come and the pigs (the Red ones) should start eating the people, it wiU be these two nations, standing back to back, that must save civilization. Socially and in peace times, we don't enjoy each other's company too much. Be honest. You know that's true. But when, as Burns said, "the front o' battle lowers," we get along mighty well together. Which is fortunate for both, and for the world.

Model Home Plcms Announced by Hme Show.

Construction of at least two model houses in the popular price range is planned for the 1953 Los Angeles Home Shos', according to Vice President Vern R. Huck.

Ahvayi among the most popular exhibits, the homes s.ould be on display at Pan Pacific Auditorium from June 4 through l4--dates of this year's exposition.

Huck urged contractors interested in building 6ne, or both houses to submit plans to Carl Kraatz, executive manager, 6399 Wilshire Boulevard.

Costs are kept at a minimum, said Huck, because manufacturers and retailers are anxious to supply products for the promotional value. Last year, 80 per cent of the approximately 200,000 persons who visited lhe Home Show l'ent through the model houses, and both were sold before fhe Exposition closed.

Woodwork Institute of California

Holds Annual Meeting

Robert Hogcrn

At the second annual meeting of the Woodwork Institute of California, Robert Hogan of Hogan Lumber Company, Oakland, was elected president. The event took place last February 25 in San Francisco. There were 36 members in attendance from all parts of the State. The by-laws were amended to increase the directorship from 10 to 15 members. Bob Hogan in addressing the meeting said that its first objective should be to increase the membership, for only through a large group can they have the influence and financial strength.. He appointed Hollis T. Jones of Western Door and Sash, chairman of a membership committee to work out a program.

Mr. Hogan discussed the growing use of metals in the manufacture of windows and other building units, as a competitor for the wooden millwork products. He said that in 1951 forty per cent of all homes built used a.certain amount of steel or aluminum, and that architects frequently specifv metal for windows, kitchens, and other rooms. He said the future of the industry called for more research and more and more effort to hold the line for wooden millwork. and that their first step in that direction is the publication of a Manual of Millwork, which cost $15,000, and which has been distributed to architects and builders in general in this territory.

Three days later Joe was back asking for help to get his new plate from the dentist. The friend remindcd h'!. that he had loaned him a hundred dollars to get that platc with, and wanted to know wliat went with the hundrcd.

"To t-t-tell you the truth," said Joe, "I w-w-went out to Santa Anita y-y-yesterday, and my t-t-teeth ran s-s-sirth in the s-s-seventh race."

chief estimator, Sierra Mill and Lumber Co., Sacramento, are members of the technical committee of the Institute who were responsible for the manual. It includes plans and designs of millwork products to meet the demands of architects and builders as u'ell as the public. Requests for the Manual are coming into the offices of the secretary of the Institute in encouragiug numbers according to Russel Bjorn, managing director of the organization.

Officers elected at tlre meeting besides Robert Hogan as presiddnt, are: J. L. Pierce, lst vice president, Pacific Manufacturing Co.; Rex Sporleder, 2nd vice president, HollenbeckBush Planing Mill Co.; James Moore, treasurer, I-ong-Bell Lumber Co.

California lndustrial Safety Conf erence

Forest Products Section

Statler Hotel, Los Angeles, Coli[., February 14,1953

The following recommendations have been unanimously approved by the Forest Products Section for action by the California Industrial Safety Conference.

Responsibility for Safety Program:

1. That management and labor call upon the Division of Industrial Safety and the engineering staffs of the compensation and public liability insurance carriers to extend their full and cooperative eftort through proper inspections, and the presentation of literature and visual aids relative to accident prevention in the forest products industry. This agency and these companies should personally contact both management and labor so that an over-all integrated accident prevention program can be effected'

2. The Forest Products Section is of the opinion that ' compens'ation insurance companies do not provide proper incentives for accident prevention programs to employers in all segments of the forest products industry. The Section recommends this problem be referred to the California In- spection Rating Bureau for action to equalize the incentive benefits for accident prevention to all employers within thc ' forest products industry and that a progress report be submitted to the Forest Products Section previous to June 19, 1953.

3. It is recommended that the Division of Industrial Safety find wafs and means of expediting the issuance of all compliance orders on a single standard basis so as to enable their engineers to immediately correct such conditions as are or might result in hazard to the life or'limb of employees.

4. The Section recommends that the selection of engineers by the Division of Industrial Safety to serve in the forest products industry be m.ade so that the engineering and practical knowledge necessary to the proper engineerittg service in the industry is assured.

5. The Forest Products Section recommends the immediate expansion of enforcement procedures in the logging and sawmill operations through the Division of Industrial Safety with concentrati6n on the inspection procedure. In this regard the Section contemplates additional personnel to meet the inspection requirements and procedures whereby all inspections shall be followed up to determine that the requirements are fulfilled.

6. The Forest Products Section recommends that the Division of Labor Statistics and Research develop its statistical reports on a regional basis to show the number of man-hours worked in the various segments of the forest products industry so that it can be determined - wherein the greater danger areas lie, and also to determine the progressive effectiveness of the Safety Program' By forest products industry is meant those colnpanies and individuals concerned with the production, transportation and manufacture or remanufacture of the same to the ultimate consumer throughout the State, classified as fol-

lorvs: Logging, sawmill, planing mill, distribution yard, box factories, sash and door factories, plywood and veneer plants, furniture'factories, cabinet and fixture shops, all other allied woodworking plants.

Labor-Managenent Agreement

l. The Forest Products Section feels that there is good labor-management agreement in our accident prevention program. The Section recommends that an extension of this agreement and cooperation be effected by the creation of more Joint Safety Committees.

General Aids

l. The Section recommends that the Division of Industrial Safety offer aid to Jpint Safety Committees by:

(a) Personal contact by the safety ,engineers of the Division with Joint Safety Committees to discuss the results of inspections, new techniques and methods, and specia[ problems;

(b) By distribution of Safety Codes and .other published information to all interested parties free of charge;

(.) By slides, films, pamphlets, posters, and other visual aids being made available free of charge to all interested parties, institutions and schools.

2. The Forest Products Section recommends the continued use of the "Suggested Aid to Operators in Setting up an Accident Prevention Program" and the form for an "Industrial Accident Experience Report" and requests that the Division of Industrial Safety furnish copies of the suggested Program and Form to their engineers for distribution throughout the forest products industry.

Suggested'Aid to Opcrators in Sctting up an Accident Prevention Program

The follorving is offered as the basis for an accident pre.vention program suitable for all concerns in the foresi products industry. It is designed to create interest in safety through employee participation; to further safeguard the operations; and to reduce the time and financial lossei u'hich always accompany injuries. These are merely suggestions; many variations are used successfully by others.

An accident prevention committee consisting of both management and employee representatives should be set up. A rotating membership is desirable for the purpose of allorving the greatest number of employees to do their part.

The duties of this committee should include:

1. Regular inspections of all operations.

2. Regular meetings attended by all committee members for the purpose of:

(a) Reporting unsafe s'orking conditions and rvork habits to determine hos' they may be eliminated

(b) Report on recommendations brought up since the last meeting and progress on pending recommendations.

This tree farm rvas recentlv certified by the \\restern Pine Association, and is orvned by the Bear Valley Mutual \\iater Company' located at Redlands, California, an association of citrus gro\Yers.

Joe Terrell Scrys:

"There have been rumors throughout the industry that we are liquidating our stock of Redrvood for rvholesale distribution. This is not true. \Ve are going to discontinue commons and timbers-but rvill carry a complete line oi pattern stock, in volume, as indicated in our sales catalog.

The Point of Contact .Atr g&fonial

Mr. Businessman, regardless of how large or how smdl your business may be, what line you are in, or what you are trying to accomplish, listen to this:Study the point of contact between your business and your callers.

Don't overlook that point. The person who meets your callers FIRST is one of the most important in your entire organization. Realize the high value of first impressions; and the first impression your business makes on your caller is through the first person who meets him at the door.

And the more your success depends on its standing with the public, the more necessary it is that the right person form your "point of contact."

In the modern lumber business, for instance, the man who meets the trade at the door is decidedly more able to

help or hurt the conccrr\ than is the manager in tte back office. Much more so.

Answer this: Is the person who 6rst meets the customer as he enters your pl,ace of businesE, srrljart enough to Eake the caller understand that hc is welcome, and to put hirn at his ease?

Your "point of contact" should havc just one thing in vicw: TO MAKE THE CALLER FEEL THAT HE IS A GUEST IN YOUR PLACE OF.BUSINESS.

ft makes no difference whcther that caller is a big prcpective customer, or just a bill collector, he should bc trcated the same way.

And, if your "point of bontact" maLes thc caller glad that he came, then he has rendered your business a valuable service.

When the El Cerrito Lumber Company \{as purchased by Elmer J. Freethy in 1947 it had only six mill employees, of whorn only two rvere cabinet makers. Today there are 27 mill employees and cabinet makers, 6 teamsters and 14 lumber handlers. The original operation \\'as mostly for the retail sale of lumber. Today the business is diversified and has increased its volume three times. A kiln of 40.000 feet capacity, an incinerator, 3 stickers or moulding machines, buildings, enlarged cabinet shop, etc., have been added. The property includes 7f acres facing on San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito. Lumber stocks carried run about 2,000,000 feet, and the company does almost ll million dollars of business a year.

The El Cerrito Lumber Company is equipped to handle all types of lumber processing, the manufacture of sash and doors and cabinet l'ork. There is a complete paint and hardware department, u'ith equipment to do their orvn glazing. In fact anything u'hich goes into a building or home is either carried in stock or the company is ready to process it.

The company supplied the above tvpe of \\'ork for ts'o of the Civic Center buildings in Richmon<l, also for many of the schools in Northern California. including }lcClvmonds in Oakland; \\rashington and Burbank in Berkeley; Green Valley and Scharlotte in \\ralnut Creek ; Sisters of llerc'r' in Redding; San Jose Hospital ; the Dos'nev School in Modesto and others.

With the high cost of doing business today, it is necessary to obtain the most out of every operation, and careful buying is necessary. For cabinet 'ivork the very best clear grain is needed. Recently a purchase rvas made of South

Union Lumber Company Commended For Safety Record

l.ort Bragg-For the con-rpletion of trvo c{)nsecrltive \-ears of operations rvithout a disaltling injury, the Clark Fork Logging unit o{ Union l-r-rmlter Con.rpany has received zr letter of commend:rtion fron.r A. C. l)rlackman. chief of thc State I)ivision of Indrrstrial Safetl-.

Timber Used in Station Floor

According to McNally, station officials decided within minutes after the train crash that wood was the best material for the repair job. The reason: it could be obtained quickly, was strong and economical, and could be cut to the exact size needed right on the job.

McNally also credited the use of wood with saving tens of thousands of train passengers possible delays and inconvenience in entering and leaving Washington during President Eisenhower's Inauguration.

The January train crash posed many unique problems for the station's salvage and construction workers. For instance, McNally related, there were spans of up to 24 feet which had to be bridged before the top flooring could be installed.

For 20 to 2Lfoot spa.ns, repair crews used timbers measuring l0 by 24 inches. For shorter slnns and for all columns, 12 by 12 inch timbers were pressed into service.

On top of these supports, construction workers placed 3 by 12 inch floor joists and then the two-inch tongue-and-groove wood flooring. The construction was braced with'2 by 8 and 2 by lO inch boards.

Washington, D.C.-The repair chief at Union Station said recently the weight of a modern locomotive could be supported by the temporary wood floor which covers 8,000 square feet of the station's regular sdeel-concrete concourse floor demolished by a runaway train January 15.

The January 15 crash, in which no lives were lost, tore a jagged 80 by 100 foot hole in the steel-concrete floor. However, within 72 hours after the accident, repair crews hid bridged the chasm with two-inch tongue-and-groove wood flooring supported by heavy timbers.

Heavy timbers also were used to shore up weakened sections of the concourse and a quick-drying asphalt was applied over the wood floor.

Harry J. McNally, who has charge of maintenance of way and structures at the station, said the new wood floor is designed to support up to 160 pounds per square foot---<onsiderably more than the expected demand.

"In fact," McNally added, "the new wood floor would even hold a locomotive if its weight was evenly distributed."

The temporary wood floor will remain in place at least until next summer. McNally said it will take that long to draw up construction plans for the permanent floor, obtain speciallydesigned steel beams and columns, and actually put the floor in place.

Meanwhile, he reported, "the performance of the wood floor has been excellent. There's no doubt but that the wood floor could hold up considerably longer than intended. However, District of Columbia building code and fire regulations do not permit this type of construction to be kept in place perrnanently."

Approximately 100,000 board feet of lumber was t'equired for the mammoth repair job. Virtually all of this was in the hands of station officials or enroute within 24 hours of the accident.

The lumber rvas purchased from a lumber yard in Baltimore,, IVId., and from a lumber treating plant in Newport, Del., at a cost of about $25,000. McNally pointed out that this material will see "double duty" in that it will be re-used for other repair jobs and construction projects at the station after the present reconstruction is completed.

With the application of quick-drying asphalt over the wood floor, normal station traffic was restorcd within three days of the accident

Ertablisher Superior Curtom Facilitier In Plant at Reddins, Calif.

T. S. Terrill, well known Redding, California, lumberman, announces that he is now reactivating the former Cottonwood Lumber & Mfg. Company's plant at Cottonwood.

Mr. Terrill states to The California Lumber Merchant that-he believes he has custom facilities to offer that are superior to anything available in the County at this time. He says further:

"I have 16 acres directly alongside of the Redding Pine Mills' planing mill (formerly Gossett's). The Merry-GoRound for rough lumber is an innovation for custom mills in this County. The automatic trimmer facilities are also unique. I propose to add a Merry-Go-Round at the finish chain, thus permitting raising grade on selected pieces which have been down graded because of defects which cannot be cut out on conventional trim saws.

"Plans for the near future include dipping facilities for pine, end spraying of uppers to retard end checking. end printing ,)f customer's stock to bear his symbol or mark, and other advancdd treatment intended to make my facilities the most modern available in this part of the State."

IVIr. Terrill, whose full page ad appears elsewhere in this issue also announces that the firm of Terrill & Frederichs is being dissolved, and will cease to do business.

Archie Heseman, vice president of the Ukiah Pine Lumber Company, announces some changes in company affairs.

Carpar Lumber Co. Nam ed 1952 Winner i Ot C.R.Johnsonl Memorial Safety Trophy

.., Setting a new all time record in redwood manufacturing

industrial accident prevention, the Caspar Lumber Company

at Caspar, California, has been named 1952 winner of the

coveted C. R. Johnson Memorial Safety trophy.

' The aqnouncement was made at a recent meeting of the C. R. Johnson Accident Prevention Committee held at Fort Bragg, California. The winning accident frequency was 15.43, based on an accepted industry formula.

In second place and only forty three one hundredths per "sn1, (.43) behind the winner, was the Union Lumber Company of Fort Bragg, California

In third place and also showing the greatest per cent of improvement (45 points) was the Northern Redwood Lumber Company of Korbel, California.

Most noteworthy, according to Orrnan H. Oak, chairman of the group, was the fact that the ten redvood companies in the cornpetition bettered their group accident frcquency by a l9/o reduction over 1951. The,averag€ frequency was 43.33 and severity 3.29. The more than 5100 ernployees in the ten company competition accumulated approximately eleven million manhours of exposure.

At the same quarterly meeting,'tie following new ofrccrs were elected: H. C. Neville of The Pacific Lumber.C.ompany, chaiirnan, and C. L. Hokonson of Simpson l-oging Company, secretary. Retiring officers are Orman H. Oak, drairman, and Lyle Harrison, Arcata Redwmd Co., secretary.

Those companies represented in the safety competition are Arcata Redwood Co-, Caspar Lumber Co., Hammond Lunber Co., Holmes Eureka Lumber Co., Northern Redwood l-umber Co., The Pacific Lumber Co., Rockport Redwood Co., Simpson I-ggrttg Co., Union Lumber Co. and Willits Redwood Products Co.

The Homes of California

Adellne M. Connor

"The stately homes of England, How beautiful they stand Amidst their tall ancestral trees O'er all the pleasant land."

The homes of California, How dear to us they seem; Each one the fair fruition. Of someone's hope and dream. Our great homes tall and stately, Our humble homes and small, The glory of our sunlight, Falls warmly over all.

When evening lamps are lighted, And dusky shadows creep, Soft zephyrs love to linger, Where little children sleep. And o'er each sheltering roof-tree, There bends an arch of light, As heavenly constellations, Be-gem the skies of night.

The homes of California ! In every loyal breast, They wake the love of homeland And all that life holds best; They speak of faith and patience, And from each one, a light, Illumines the shadows near us, And points the way a-right.

The homes of California ! To them we must !s flgsThe hope of all the future, In them alone we view; They are the 6rm foundation Of this, our sun-kissed land, The homes of California ! How beautiful thev stand.

:. Owing to a mistake in the loading of a pistol to be used t in a movie sdene, and instead of a blank, a solid bullet went into the body of the actor. He crumpled into a senseless ,heap on the floor, whereat the director shouted: ,'', "H.y, you poor sap! that's not the way to fall when ' you're shot !"

Not So Green

They decided to have some fun with the new helper in the lumber office, who was decidedly green, and decidedly a Mick. So they left him alone in the office with instructions to accept any orders that came in. Then ttrey went to an outside phone, and one of them call'ed up the office. The Irishman answered. This was the conversation:

'!Hellb. Is this the Smith Lumber Company?"

"Yes, sir, what can I do for you?"

l'Take an order, will you?"

"I sure will. What is it?"

"Send me up a thousand nice knotficles at once."

. "'What's that?"

"I. said I want a thousand nice knot holes."

"Well now, ain't that a shame ! 'We're just out of them."

"How's,that?"

"'We sold our whole stock to a brewery-they're usin' them to make bungholes for beer barrels."

Yet that same light that foods at dawn, Your cloistered room-your crylrtic stair' Wakes me too+leeping by the'hedgeTo morning prayer.

A Thoughtful Friend

The Scotchman found a bottle of whiskey, and, being suspicious of the way it smelled, took it to a chemist friend for examination.

The chemist raised his han{s in horror. "Don't drink a drop of it," he warned. "It would drive y9u blind. Pour it out !"

"Don't waste it, laddie," said the Scot. "I'll give it to a Iri,end of mine who is blind already."

James O'Neill has resigned the management of the Copeland Lumber Company yard at Barning, Calif., and moved to Bremerton, Washington, where he will eargage in the lumber business. He has been succeeded at Banning by his a5sistant, Frank Koch.

Kinldd Lumber Co.

Francis J. Kinkaid and .James Kinkaid, brothers, have opened a new retail lumber yard in San Jost, the Kinlaid Lumber Company, 714 Lincoln Ave. Francis Kinkaid has lived in San Jose since 1929, and was manager for the Dord Lumber Company until recentlY.

The Sun Lumber Company, located at 6100 Sepulveda Boulevard, Van Nuys, California, dries 3 million board feet. of lumber a year in their side loading Moore CrossCirculation kiln. Species included in this large quantity of kiln dried stock are Redwood, Douglas Fir, and Ponderosa Pine.

This I\{oore Cross-Circulation side-loading kiln has a holding capacity of approximately 4O,000 board {eet per charge. Heat is provided from an automatic combination oil and gas fired 100 H.P. Kervanee boiler. An interesting feature of the boiler installation is that the boiler is so installed that if gas pressure falls low the boiler automatically kicks over to oil firing. This gives a completely automatic boiler installation.

The kiln building itself is constructed of poured concrete ,sidewalls r'r'ith a rvell insulated wood roof and overhead fan

Construction Activity in FebruatV 1953

Expenditures for new construction declined less than seasonally in February to $2.2 billion, and were at a record high for the month, according to preliririnary estimates of the U'S' Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division of the U'S. Department of Commerce'

Private spending on commercial and most other types of nonresidential building continued strong for this time of y'ear, reflecting to some extent a backlog of projects put under construction since relaxation of credit. and materials controls in the latter half of 1952. Because of ihe winter drop in housing starts, expenditures for work put in place on private nonfarm housing fell by 8 per cent from January to $675 million' However, additions and alterations to existing housing rose by 5 per cent to $67 million.

Most types of public construction showed the declines usually expected for the month, bringing total public outlays down by about 9 per cent from January to $632 million in Febrriary.

Expenditures for all new construction during the first 2 months of this year were nearly 6 per cent above last year's total for the same months, and when November and December are taken into account also, new construction activity, was

housings. The large 7V' diameter fans are driven with a single 20 H.P. motor.

John Kurzhals, kiln operator, accurately deterrrines the moisture content of the stock prior to loading into the kiln and then, knou'ing the final use to rvhich the stock will be put, determines and sets the proPer kiln schedule. A Moore Illaster.Controller automatically maintains the desired heat and relative humidity in the kiln and assures positive quality drying.

Homer H. Burnaby, general manager' and Tom Supple, assistant general manager, have been strong advocates of quality seasoned and manufactured stock. They are able to furnish promptly well seasoned stock on special as well as regular orders for their customers and have found their Cross-Circulation Kiln a profitable investment-

at record levels for the winter of 1952-53. Thus far this year, most major'types of construction $rowed dollar increases over January-February 1952. HotYever, hospital building (private and public) is down substantially because of the tapering ofi of the Public Health and Veterans Administration construction programs. Also, expenditures were less for private industrial building than in January-February l9S2 when private plant expansion was at unusually high levels- The drop in expenditures for public housing over the year reflects the reduced statutory limit on the number of units federally strb' sidized that may be started this fiscal year.

I speak from experience because it was way back in 1914 that I started to write "My Own Service Manual'" It never entered my mind that it would be published five years later , as "Lumbermen's Building Estimator."

I Th. drudgery of making detailed liits of materials to ; get the price of any building was getting me down' I was

working nights and Sundays (no closing at Saturday noon

in those days) making lists of materials' Then I had to

. figure the footage, price, extend, check, add and then check again. I had no addi'ng machine either, much less a calculator that gives the answer after hitting a fen' ke)'s' , So I had many disappointments before the thought oci curred to me in August 1914, as follou:s: Why not de' termine the cost Per square foot of floor, walls' roof and I other UNITS of construction so I could quote a price for ,: any building u'ithout making a list after.I had made the - sale ?

'. Vty idea involved figuring the actual surface of floors, . walls, roof, etc., so I knew that I would have the basic data for making the delivery list. I had to d-etermine the linear . feet of wall in order to multiply by the height to get the ' actual r'vall surface. I became more enthusiastic as I 'i,, visualized the surprise on my customer's face rvhen I could .prove to him that I. had no list-and hou' could I give him i- u .opy if I didn't have one ?-and why I knerv that I could ., not possibly miscount or forget anything rvith my system ' of estimating. Many's the job I started delivering before ' I ever had my list.

Anyone rvho can make a list of materials can compile his own Unit Cost tables. As a concrete example' assume that this floor plan is to have a hip roof so there are no gables to consider. The wall framing would be tletermined something like this: Adding the extreme rvidth of 30 feet to the extreme length of € feet gives 78 feet to double for th6 perimeter of 156 linear feet. Note that the rear and right walls equal the front and left walls. In other rvords. it's no farther to rvalk a block south. a block east. another block south and then another block east, than it is to rvalk two blocks south and trvo blocks east. Therefore, a very valuable rule.in estimating is:

Width plus length Plus dePth of each recess (if any) multiplied by two, equals the Perimeter.

The studs are listed at the rate of ll/o mote than the customary practice of figuring "a studding to the foot plus a few "*ir"." Check this on any well-framed housc, s I have done many times, by reducing headers and cripples to studs and add to all studs required. You can do the same for partitions and KNOW for yourself

To harre the "framing material per square of wall," it is necessary to multiply the 156 linear feet of wall by the height of-9 feet from foundation to roof for l4O4 sqrrare feeio, 14.0[ squares. Dividing 1,757 by 14'04 gives l6pet square. My UnitKost tables list 13O BF per square to be a trifle liberal. To make the table complete it will be necessary to add the foundation bolts, vents, paper and nails for a price per square for the framing materials' This is then added to the cost per square for various'grades and sizes of rustic, stllcco, wall shingles, brick veneer or any other kind of "wall covering" materials.

Already several hundred California lumber dealers are using my UnitKost system and would figure the founda' tion and walls for this house in a few minutes, something like this I

A teen-ager could figure the flgor area of this house as 24x4O or 96,0 SF.for the main unit, 6xl4 or &t SF for Living Room projection and !b SF for the l2x8 rear Bedroom' This makes a total of 1,14O SF or ll-4 squares of f,oor' The same for the ceiling. Roofs are almost as easy to figure from instructions given in my book. With Unit Costs. that have been proved by more than 30 years of ei'ery possible test. this and similar houses can be estimated in a matter of 30 minutes.

Named Midwest Manager

Nort Baser, a former Michigan newspaperrnan, has been named midwest manager for American Forest Products Industries, spokesman for the nation's processors of lumber, paper and other wood products. Prior to joining AFPI's field organization Mr. Baser was managing editor of American Forests Magazine.

Mr. Baser will take over the present AFPI office at 59 E' Van Buren Street, Chicago, headquarters for a region which includes Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. This is part of a larger Lake States territory formerly managed by John R. Calkins who will establish a new office at Green Bay, Wisconsin, to serve Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota thus providing greater AFPI coverage throughout the Lake States and Midwest areas'

Prior to his past four years with a national forestry magazine, Mr. Baser spent 12 years in varied newspaper and public relations positions. He served as sports editor of The News-

Demand for oak fooring during 1952 was even greater in proportion to new housing construction than in the record home buiiding year of 1950, it has been announcbd by Secretary Henry H. Willins of the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association

He reirorted that in the Southern and Appalachian regions, source of more than 90 per cent of the nation's hardwood flooring supply, shipments were the second highest in history. They totaled 957,il7,OOO board feet, all but aborit 5 per cent of which consisted of oak, which is used principally in homes.

"This output," said Willins, "represented a drop of only 6l per cent from the 1950 pealc of 1,025,762,W feet. Housing starts of 1,131,300, however, were olT 19 per cent from the 1,396,000 units reported in 195O.

"Analyzed in terms of shipments per dwelling unit, the output is seen as further evidence of ttre growing popularity of oak floors among home builders and buyers. To some extent, too, it reflects the fact that in 1950 there was a larger cxrry-over of unfinished houses than in 1952. The oak flooring required for completion of many late 1950 housing starts actually was not shipped until 1951.

"The record shipments in 1950 were equivalent to 734 board feet for each of the housing starts that year. With 19 per cent fewer homes started in 1952, shipments were equal to 846.5 feet per dwelling unit. Thus, in relation to the market potential, demand was 15 per cent greater.

"A tabulation of shipments for the first four weeks of this year indicates that demand will hold 6rm during 1953, assuming that housing construction materializes in the volume generally expected.

"Shipments for the period totaled nearly 75 million board feet, approximately 17 per cent above those for the corresponding period in 1952. The weekly average was neaily 2 per cent higher than that for the whole of l9S2r. This is significant, inasmuch as output normally is lower in fanuary than in the spring, summer and fall months."

Willins said the increasingly strong positionof oak flooring in the residential field is due in part to the nature of the present housing market.

"Housing gradually has changed from a seller's to a buyer's market," he explained, "and buyers consequently are becoming more selective. The easing of the housing shortage permits them to take their time about home buying, to purchase houses that meet or closely approximate their requirements."

groves, the "balance of nature" is upset and that we must make some provision for the protection of the people and of the forest itself.

What rnost forest recreation seekers rvant is room to have fun..They want to get at the woods, to have places to sleep or to camp lvhere the woods are open and light enough and where there are plenty of safe trails-

Yet the policy of public and private proponents of redwood parks is almost u'holly concentrated on locking up still more virgin areas to grow old and go to 'w'aste. The locking rrp itself has been carried to extremes. Not only is cutting prohibited, but fire hazard reduction as u'ell.

Red'rvood lumbermen have long since become inured to' being characterized as monstrous destroyers of these Christtime giants for pieces of silver. They can go on enduring it, but times have changed. The program of the past does not any longer make sense, regardless of horv efficacious it u'as in the years before the political plunderers took over. Tlle money is not there anymore and it is not going to be there.

Emotional Appeal Losing Its Effect

Not only is the emotional appeal going to be less and less productive, but the fact that we have adopted inflation as a way of life precludes any possibility of ever .acquiring more of such properties at costs even remotedly resembling acquisition costs of the past. There will be fer'r'er and fe''ver gift dollars and those ferver dollars quite likely rvill be only lo-cent to 2Gcent timber dollars compared rvith the old ones. The program being pursued norv is doomed to fail.

It has not a prayer of providing adequate forest recreation areas for a mass California public of between 20 and 30 million people and the hordes of out-of-state tourists.

It is not even pointed in that direction. The emphasis has been almost religiously, sometimes fanatically, on "saving" every redrvood tree that could be acquired-the "woodsman spare that tree" approach. Development of the parks as forest recreation areas has been secondary and handicapped b1' the fetish of preserving wilderness a1sa5-"1fus forest primsval"-fq1 posterity.

One rvonders if any of the authors of these emotional versions cf the beauties of the forest primeval ever saw a reds'ood natural area, much less tried to find his rvay through one.

In the remarkable journals of tr*-o of the first men rvho tried it, Rogers and Wood, rve have some very graphic pictures of rvhat it is reallv like. A few excerpts from "The Quest For Qual-A-Wa-Loo," reciting the experiences of these miners and rvoodsmen in traversing the area just east of Trindad is illustrative:

"The timber in this part of this country is principally hemlock. (spruce) pine, (Douglas fir) and white cedar, (The redrvood) the most of the cedar trees from 5 to 15 feet in diameter. and tall in proportion to the thickness, the underbrush. hazle, oak, briars. currants, gooseberry, and Scotch caD bushes, together rvith alder, and sundry other shrubs too tedious to mention; the soil of the country rich and black. but very mountainous, which renders travelling almost impassible.

"\\'here the forest did not exist grerv dense jungles of chaparral, buck brush and u'hite thorn brush that were so thick as to make their passage almost impassible-

"Through this forest rve could not travel to exceed trvo miles a da1'. The reason of this rvas the immense quantitv of fallen timber that lay upon the ground in every conceivable shape and direction ahd in many instances one piled upon another so that the only alternative left was literally to cut our \\'ay through. To go around them rvas often as impossible as to go over them. There was not the least sign indicative of the presence of any of the animal creation; indeed. it rr'as almost as impenetrable for them as for us, and doubtless never resorted to save for purposes of shelter-

"For three long r*'eary days did r*'e toil in these redlvoods. Exhaustion and almost starvation had reduced the animals to the last extremity.

"At length we issued from this dismal forest prison in which we had so long been shut up, into the open country' and at the same instint in full view of that vast world of waier-the Pacific Ocean."

Horv many tourists and how many natives care about that kind of forest for recreation? Yet, most of the 72,O0 acres of redwood parks are just that, and we had just as well not f-ave them so far as any good they do in the way of providing recreation opportunities for the public'

The liieral truth is that even the trail system already built is not maintained in good shape, for lack of money' There are a number of fine "showcases',' along the Redwood Highu'ay, displaying superlative specimens and groves anJ ofiering the breathless and arve-inspiring thrill of cathedral groves, but much less to offer the seeker of forest recreation than the less publicized pine areas'

So the first thing needed is to bring about a mental housecleaning, in order that a climate may be created in which a realistic program can be developed. The idea that not one tree can be cut for any reason in any of these parks has to go out the windorv and u'ith it the smart practice of the past of buying strips and blocking access so that smatl holders could be bludgeoned into selling cheap to the Park Board'

It is only two or three 1'ears since this abuse was curbed by legislation requiring the Park Board to p-ermit -reason"Ll" ".""., through park property and the Save-the-Redwoods League used every efiort it could to defeat this incursion of access roads.

The whole concept of the "inviolate wilderness area" has to be supplanted with a common-sense program for cleaning up the present accessible fats so that they will not conlinue to deteriorate. Down trees Should be cleared ' out, and leaners and badly ov€r-mature trees logged out before they fall and destroy good trees. The finest flat of all, Bull Creek Flat, is sadly in need of cleaning up, as ismuch of the accessible area in northern Humboldt County'

Then the back portions of the locked up areas should be' opened up and cut selectively- Not logged as would be a tree'farm. but logged with the idea of opening them irp so they can be used as recreation areas- The standard of tree ' selection would be lighter and would be arrived at by experiencerl foresters and park men. As already indicated, the hats should just be cleaned up, but back of them the forest ' should be irogressively thinned out so ihat the sound thrifty residual trees have a chance to grow' That is the

only wav to leave fine specimen trees for posterity' And these residual trees, growing in parks for a ferv hundred years more, actually will be finer and safer specimens than most of those we have now, which grew up in the fiercest conceivable competition and have been injured and weakened by rnany pre-white-man fires.

In time all the beautiful spetimens, one now sees will be gone, yet they not only can be replaced but the number of big trees actually increased, by selectively cutting out enough trees to make an accessible park of the remainder, and giving those left a better chance to develop.

A by-produit of this will be much greater ease of protection from fire. Our parks are not now nearly so rvell guarded against fire as are operated timber stands, and the more they are opened to the public the greater will be the need'

Another by-product will be a realization by the public of what the lumber industry has long known-that earlier cutover are'ts that now have heavy stands of second growth upon them are far more desirable for recreation purposes than most virgin stands.

IJnless that changed concept is brought about there is no prospect that adequate forest recreation areas rvill ever be provided.

If it is brought about so that, as already suggested, a climate is created in rvhich forests for recreation can be considered realistically, then every force sh6uld be concentrated upon determination of a policy-a decision as to which areas are wanted for additions and rvhich ones are not, so the lumber industry can go ahead and run its business on the lands not required or wanted for parks. When parkminded o:ople quit singing the "rvoodsman spare that tree" chant and make up their minds as to what constitutes a reasonable and adequate forest recreation program they rvill have greater cooperation lrom the lumber industrv in trying to get it.

Lumbermen don't "destroy" trees for fun. They fell, log, and convert them into marketable products because the public demands lumber. As long as lumber is needed, trees rr,ill have to be cut. Lumbermen are merely those people who have elected to make their olvn business that of supplying a public need for lumber.

The redwood lumbermen have businesses to run that require planning many years ahead and they have a right to knorv vr,lrat part of their holdings the state wants to buy, even if they cannot be guaranteed that the state will buy it, so that they can go ahead with their own expensive long range tree farm Programs.

Acquisition of Recreation Areas

Left for last is consideration of how adequate forest recreation areas can be purchased, because there is no use talking about that until u'e quit talking nonsense and come to an agreement on a program that would provide what the people want. And tvhat the people lvant is, not only gloves for inspiration, but plenty of recreation areas where they can holiday at a modest cost.

\\rhen rve have unanimity of understanding of what the need is, w'hat the problem is, and how it might be accomplished, tben there rvill be a reason for talking about financing it.

When that point is reached there will be staring at us in the face these matters:

l. Dependence can no longer be placed on gifts in an economy which is redistributing existing private fortunes and preventing the accumulation of new ones, which means that the "matching fund" principle must be abandoned'

2. ln ao economy rvhere "inflation is the way of life" and growing scarcity is compounding the inflated value of virgin timber stands, it rvill cost far, far more to complete the progr"- of acquisition a bite at a time over a long term of years than to do it all rvhen the program has been agreed upon.

The inevitable solution is a program that will assure the mass public the kind of forest recreation areas it wants; then selling it to the people and getting the money in one package from the legislature. That means a bond issue that

If enough foresight is developed in ottr generation to leave for future generations reallv adecluate iorest recreatiotr areas at a price that, n'hen thev are tlsing them' n'ill be very cheap in the dollars of that da1-' thel- should be hupp)' to pay off the bonds and bless our memorv for har-ing giver them rhe opPortunitl'.

Summarizing:

1. Take a good long hard look at the existing en.rotional r-ested interest in perpetual "sate trees from the rapacious lur.nbermen" programs to see if they make sense in the u'orld rve live in today. If it is decided that thel' Co, then the rest .'rf these recommendations can be ignored and efforts can lte made to make present programs rvork.

2.lf it is decided thev do not anv longer make selrse. then lr soltttio,r can be sought that rvill rvork. There is nou' no easy solution. -\ program must be built that the lleollle u'zint enough to pav for, because there is no longer evell a prayer of doing more than acquiring a feu' nlore suilerlatil'e groves from gifts. It rvill inlolve : (a) thinning otlt parts of present holdings to make them more useful and to give nature a chance to grorv even finer specimen trees faster to replace those tl-rat l'ill lte iner-itabl1' lost, and (b) placing major enrphasis on accessiltility' and suitabilitv for m:tss pubiic recreation areas in future acquisitior.rs-

3. Decide rr hat is u'anted and n'hat is not n-atrted for park addiiions. Give the lumber industrv a chance to cooPerate in setting aside the somes'here lletu'een 5 per cent and 10 per cent of acreage of existing virgin and high grade )'onng star.rds that represents the maximum possible park acquisition program, and. stop pointing the finger of scorn at the lumberman for running his business of grorving, har\-esting. and gir-ing utilitv I'alue to the trees on the other 90 to 95 per cent of timberland-a business s'hich is just as legitimate and honorable as that in u'hich an1' of its detractors are engaged.

4. Recognize that redistribution oi acctttnulated l-ealth and embracing egalitarianism as our econ()llric antl social pattern for the future means that adequate forest recreation areas for 20 to 30 million egalitarians cannot and t'ill not be provicied as gifts {rom this generation. Then lav the cards on the table and give the egalitarians all .)pp()rtullit-r to pa1' for l'hat they u'ant. Ii the job is honestlv done-if thev are permittec[ to participate in preparing the prograrn and it does contain rvhat tl-rey s'ant-ii it is then properh' merchandized as a package, I believe thev n'ill buv it and be glad thei' did.

The earliest knttu-n treatment of u'oocl is described in the Bib1e. Genesis (r to lJ, u-l.rerein (iocl chargecl Noah trl lluild an ark and "pitch it u'ithin ancl n'ithout u'ith pitch."
