How Lumber Lrooks Portland, Oregon, March 1l-Douglas fir sawmills along the Oregon and Washington and northern California coast are pcinting for another busy year as production, orders and shipments for the first two months ol 1952 almost equal last year's record figures. Harris E. Smith, secretary of Wrst Coast Lumbermen's Association, points out that despite the pinch of a log shortage caused by last summer's 40-day closure of camps due to bad fire weather, mills have cut within 80 million feet of last year, the cut for 1952 through February being 1,644,571,000 board feet. Orders and shipments are also within six per cent of last years records. Smith said millmen n'elcomed the relaxation of controls on metals which threatened home building volume. The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production in February rvas Z)0,170,000 b.f. or 706.9/o of the 1947-1951 aver?ge. Orders averaged 193,923,000 b.f.; shipments 200,928,000 b.f. \Aieekly averages for January were: Production 774,752,Un bi. (93.3% of the 1947-1951 average) ; orders 191,993,000 b.f. ; shipments 164,555,000 b.f. Tn'o months of 1952 cumulative production 1,644,571,m0 b.f.; two months of 1951, 1,724,087,000 b.f.; two months
of 1950, 1,131,678,000 b.f. Orders for t'ivo months of 1952 breakdown as follows: Rail & tru,ck 1,194,281,000 b.f.;domestic cargo 332,094,0m b.f. ; export 92,205,000 b.f.; local 79,063,000 b.f. The industry's unfilled order file stood at 1,000,718,000 b.f. at the end of February gross stocks at 1,003,439,000. Lumber shipments of 503 mills reporting to the National
Lumber Trade Barometer were 3.5 per cent belorv prodtlction for the week ended March 8, 1952. In the same \veek new orders of these mills were 0.9 per cent above production. Unfilled orders of the reporting mills amounted to 44 per cent of stocks. For the reporting softrvood mills, unfilled orders were equivalent to 25 days' production at the current rate. and gross stocks were equivalent to 54 days' production. The Western Pine Association for the $'eek ended Nlarch 15, 113 mills reporting, gave orders as $54,90,000 feet, shipments 61,433,000 feet, and production 57,367,00O feet. Or-

CPR 1,2g-Ceiling Prices lor Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir,
True Fir and West Coast Hemlock Lumber \\rashington, D.C., N{arch 14-The Office of Price Stabilization today issued dollars-and-cents ceiling prices for sales by manufacturers of fir and hemlock lumber produced in California and in and rvest of the Cascade Mountains in Washington and Oregon. The nerv ceilings are prescribed in Ceiling Price Regulation 128, effective March 18, 1952. They are at approximately the average level of prices established by the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR) freeze on January 26, 1951, rvhich are, generally speaking, the prices in effect today.
The nerv regulation spells out base ceiling prices for standard grades and dimensions. These are the producers'
ceilings f.o.b. mill, f.o.b. car at mill or customary railroad shipping point, f.o.b. truck at mill, f.o.b. barge or scow alongside mill dock, or f.a.s. (free along-side ship) if he sells on an f.a.s. basis.
On sales made on a delivered basis, appropriate transportation cl.rarges may be added as provided in the regulation.
Ceilings for non-standard items are determined by upplying prescribed differentials to the base ceiling prices. The production area covered by the regulation contain-s about 60 per cent of the nation's softrvood saw timber, and produces about 4O per cent of the nation's softwood lumber. Douglas fir is the predominant species, amounting to about 60 per cent of the timber stand and 85 per cent of the luml;er production. Other species of fir, West Coast hemlock, Sitka spruce, u'estern red cedar, ponderosa pine and redwood are also cut for lumber in the same area. OPS rvill issue other ceiling price regulations covering Sitka spruce, western red cedar, ponderosa-pine ancl redwood.
\Vhile fir and \\rest Coast hemlock are cut for lumber in other areas, the grading and pricing elseu'here are different, and hence, lumber cut from these species in other areas is not covered by the current regulation.
The nerv regulation conforms with the requirements of the Capehart Amendment to the Defense Production Act by fixing ceilings not lower than the lower of (a) the prices prevailing just before the issuance of the regulation, or (b) prices prevailing from January 25 to February 24,1951. It is in accord with the OPS policy of issuing dollars-andcents tailored regulations as rapidly as possible for all segments of industry where they are appropriate. Following are some representative f.o.b. ceiling prices per 1,000 feet beard measure established for major items: Thick clear, mixed g:ain, random lengthsGreen Dty 3" by 4" $l6s $19s 170 200 4" by 4" 240 285 .6" by 6" No. 1 boards, surfaced, permitting 25/o No. 2 random lengthsl" by 6", lt' by 8", l" tty' 10", l" by 72" $78 $88

Established weights for the various standard lumber products are set forth in the regulation. A producer mav ruse these weights in computing freight additions, which he may add to the ceilings, in the case of sales on a delivered basis. On delivery by rail, he uses these r.veights and the applicable freight rates to determine transportation charges.
Portland, Oregon, in accordance 'ivith the practice in the industry, is established as a basing point for determining freight charges for sales on a delivered basis under certain circumstances. The appropriate freight rate from Portland to the final destination may be used rvhen (1) a rail shipment to a buyer located in California originates at a mill or plant in California from rvhi,ch the railroad freight rate to the final destination is less than the rate from Portland to the same destination ; or (2) rvhen a railroad shipment to a buyer outside of Oregon and Washington originates at a rnill or plant in western Oregon and Wasl-rington from 'ivhich the railroad freight rate to the final destination is less than the rate from Portland to the destir-ration.
On sales on a delivered basis by common or contract carrier other than a railroad, the delivered ceiling price is the f.o.b. ceiling, plus actual cost of transportating the Iunrber to the destination. Maximum freight charges which may be added to f.o.b. ceilings, when delivery is by private truck, are prescribed as follows: Distances of 1O miles or less, $3 per 1.000 board feet; more than 10 and as far as 2O miles, $4; more than 20 and as far as 30 miles, $5; more than 30 miles, an amount equal to the cost of transportation by common carrier. In the case of sales on an f.a.s. basis, if the producer owns or leases deep water dock facilities from which the lumber is loaded, he may charge for such facilities a fee of up to $3.50 per 1,000 board feet for lumber loaded over the dock. If he is required by circumstances beyond his control to transfer lumber from a deep water dock, rvhere it has been placed preparatory to loading on a vessel, to another loading (Continued on Page 56)

Well, we started running through this neat little multigraphed volume, and soon we came to the subject of "Prun-

I bow before the mountains' might, I stand in awe of seas. I'm thrilled with fields with sun alight, But, oh, I worship trees. My heart is touched, my spirit stilled With vale and woodland's eloquence, And every dream with this is filled, The rhapsody of reverence. I feel the touch of Him that made The forest's calm benignities, f see the fallow fields arrayedBut, oh, I worship trees. f love'them everywhere their limbs
Laugh to the open sky, Their fluttering leaves seem wafted hymns, To Him who rules on high. Down quiet vales, on mountain sod, By bleak or windswept leas, They seem somehow to picture GodThat's why I*worship trees.
This inspiring little tree poem was written by the late Harry T. Fee, of California, and was sent in by a good friend. It seems to make a very charming heading for another dissertation on the subject of trees; scientifically growing trees. Our recent discussions of practical forestry to provide commercial forests for future generations seem to have met with reader approval, which is perhaps not surprising, for without trees there would be no lumber industry, and most followers of the industry are enthusiastically interested in its perpetuation. So we now know in a general way that forests will reproduce themselves is skillfully and intelligently handled with
regard to fire protection, logging, and selective harvesting. Now we have before us a book that contains some very remarkable opinions, based on experimentation, concerning the wonders that can be wrought by modern, scientific forestry. It is issued by the United States Forest Products Laboratory, which is operated at Madison, Wisconsin, by the U. S. Forest Service, and compiled by Benson H. Paul, Chief of the Division of Silvicultural Relations, and Diana M. Smith, Technologist. The experiments here discussed and reported were made in the Southern Yellow Pine forests. A brief report on a Douglas Fir experiment will likewise be reported in this story.
mation, we stopped right there and started to read. And this is the first paragraph on the subject of pruning:
***
"Pruning in itself may be considered. a valuable practice in second-growth Southern Pine stands. If pruning is started very early, when trees are no more, than one to two inches in diameter (that means through the trunk) and ten to twelve feet higli, lumber from the lower sixteen foot log of each tree CAN BE ALMOST ENTIRELY OF THE B AND BETTtrR GRADE." That's what the book says. It means that when these little Pine trees are one to two inches thick at the butt, and ten to twelve feet high, you go into the young forest with saw, or clipper, or whatever does the best job, and clean the trunk of the many little limbs that nature puts there. ,<
There are pictures in the book showing how two similar trees look, one that had the lower limbs pruned from the trunk when it was young and the other showing those limbs untouched and growing out. It is the nature of the Pine forests, that the lower limbs die and fall off the lower twenty feet of tlie trunk, the time required for this natural cleaning depending on the denseness of the stands, and the character of the trees. When the young tree is pruned of its lower branches it grows up with a clean, smooth trunk, and a wide crown. The scars where the small branches grew have been entirely covered over with wood fiber. The grain is straight. And, so says this excellent little book, the lumber cut from the bottom sixteen foot log witl produce almost enlirely B and Better grade lumber.
With regard to the economics of sending skilled men into the young forests to prune the lower limbs from the trees, and then let them grow with clean trunks, not a great deal is said in this book. It makes the statement already quoted that the first log will be mostly clear and high-priced lumber, and also states that this log will contain nearly one-half of the lumber in the tree when it is grown, and also says: "Computations based on prices of lumber grades a number of years ago even then indicated high possible revenues from pruning.

pruning, and he said that he has seen in done in experimental tracts, but knows of nobody who is practicing it commercially today. The theory in a nutshell is that instead of letting the young trees wait for years to be divested by nature of the limbs that grow on their lower trtrnks, you go in and trim them off, and thus hasten the action, and at the same time greatly increase the amount of clear lumber that will be found in the butt logs when the trees grow to. sawlog size. Who knows, but that as the forestry effort increases and broadens, pruning may follow thinning as a major effort in the growth and quality control of young timber?
'***
Now, pruning commercial trees to improve the grade of the trunk timber and also hasten its development, is not the only seemingly miraculous thing that this little Forest Products Laboratory booklet says can be done with young Southern Pine trees. It says that not only can grdde and quality of wood be improved by pruning, but that scientific forest practice c:rn go farther and can control the density as well as the texture of the timber. In plain words, the booklet says that Southern Yellow Pine trees can be grown pretty much the way you want them. The density and texture can be controlled by proper "thinning" of the stands.
It is evident that the study of pruning is not just a thing of theory. In his annual report for 1951, Lyle F. Watts, This book also reports that experiments have been made Chief of the Forest Service, has this to say: "Artificially by artificially irrigating stands of Southern Yellow Pine, pruned Douglas Fir trees begin to produce clear lumber to determine the effects of such action on the density of
in about one-tenth of the time required by trees on which the wood that is developed, and adds: "Although irrigation the lower branches have been allowed to die and drop off of the Southern Yellow Pine forests cannot be recommended naturally, it was found in pruning investigations conducted as practicable, the results of such experiments indicate by the (Forest Products) Laboratory in the Pacific North- silvicultural factors that may be effective in forest manwest." Furthermore, it is reported that pruning studies are agement." in progress in several experiment stations in the South, on various Southern Yellow Pine species; and that pruning studies will be started in the near future elsewhere in the South.
New Western Pine Tree Farms Set All-Time Record in 1951 Portland. Feb. l8-Certification of new Tree Farms set an all-time Western Pine region record during 1951, the \\resterr-r Pine association reported today. The achievement of bringing 777,780 privately-owned acres of timberland into the industry-sponsored program u.as also the best performance of any western lumber producing region, Chief Forester Ernest L. Kolbe said. It comes as the pine region's Tree Farm program enters its tenth year of existence Kolbe said the record-smashing figure, comprising 60 separate tracts ranging in side from 15 to 176,000 acres, brings the cumulative Western Pine Region total to 364 Tree Farms embracin g 4,5@,874 acres, also the greatest of any western lumber region. In a joint statement Kolbe and Truman Collins, Portland lumberman and chairman of the Western Pine forest conservation committee, said that the 1951 achievement was gratifying because of the tremendous acreage involved, "but even more heartening when considered in the light of numbers of new Tree Farms." "The 1951 Tree Farms," they said, "range in size all the way from 15 to 176,000 acres. We regard this as indicative of the new realization by all forestland owners, large and small, of the need for conservation and of the economic value of good forest management." "Many of our Tree Farmers make their entire living from planned harvesting of relatively small woodland tracts. At the same time they are exercising conservation of the truest sort--'lvise use of their resources."
Who says "there's nothing new under the sun?"
California, with 1O nerv Tree Farms totaling 487,867 acres, topped the other 11 states in the pine region. Bringing the state's total to I,186,023 acres, it enabled California to overtake Oregon for pine regional leadership. Oregon addecl seven new Tree Farms embracing 108,973 acres to
run its total to 1,145,141 acres. Kolbe reported that three states-Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado-u,ere added to the program for the first time. The Srvenson Tree Farm became Wyoming's first with 240 acres. Nevada's first is the Floriston Tree Farm of 12,784 acres and the Broderick Wood Products company's 3200acre tract is Colorado's initial acreage. Other cumulative state totals are: Idaho, 691,577; Montana, 852,675; Nerv Mexico, 80,000; Washingtort 529,034.

Betlveen 1940-1950 California hacl :r net increase of 1,268,271 dwelling units. This lvas greater than thc combined increase of New York, Texas and the next two ranking states. 1 T. The analysts and statisticians on market, social and economic trends indicate a continuance of California's remarkable population grorvth during the next quarter century. The Woodwork Institute of California, a non-profit staten'ide corporation, is specifically organized to protect this important industry, and to help retain and increase its present markets through cooperative promotional efforts. The office of the Institute is at 681 Market Street. San Francisco 5. Russell Bjorn is Manager-Director.
In their current bulletin, mailed to 4@ millwork firms and wholesalers by the Woodrvork Institute of California, are some facts and figures that rvill be of interest to many of our readers. These are as follows: In the year 1947 the number of milhvork plants in California employing 1 to 19 persons tvas 224. Those that employed 20 to 99 numbered 65, and four firms employed 100 or more. Capital invested, excluding real estate, amounted to $14,682,000; value of products delivered (15/o ol national total) was $67,000,000; wages and salaries, production rvorkers only, amounted to $21,037,000. Expenditure on new plants and equipment w'as $1,922,000. Seven thousand families rvere dependent on the milhvork industry for their livelihood. The average hourly wage in August, 1951, for California millwork production workers on a 42.7 hottr rveek was $1.97. This is 15 cents above the national average. Metal doors, sash, and trim gained in production fiom $-15,088,000 ir, 1939 to $231,043,000 in 1949, an increase of 500 per cent. Wood doors, sash, and trim gained in the same period frorrr $215,914,000 in 1939 to $482,566,000 in 1949, an increase of 100 per cent.

Manufacturers are backing lhe Handy Panel progrdm with a national promotion including publicity, adve*ising in homc-craff magazines and fresh new dealer salee helps.
\\rith an eye to the growing demand by basement builders and home craftsmen for small sizes of plywood, west coast plywood manufacturers announced this month vol-
nme production of small panels in a move that may double over-the-counter fir plyrvood sales. And they are backing the step with a national promotion program which includes the sales tools for a "supermarket :,elling" techniclues that means every dealer in the country can cut himself a piece of this profit-pie-and do it the easy way. To cut dealer handling time to an absolute minimum and to build floor traffic sales of the new small sizes, called Handv Panels, the manufacturers, are offering a customerstopping, island-display rack that holds more than 700 square feet of plyrvood. Displayed in the rack, the new small sizes sell themselves' Bright, identifying labels tell the customer at a glance the grade and the per panel price. For the dealer, it means plywood will be easy to handle and easy to sell. For the buyer, plyrvood rvill be easy to buy, easy to carry and easy to use. Handy Panels are being manufactured in both the outdoor type plywood with waterproof glue and the interior type in accordance with rigid industry standards of quality. Panels come in both the "one-side" and "two-side" grades rvithin each type. And they are ofiered in a tvide range of thicknesses in stock sizes of. 24" x 48" and smaller, including such sizes as 24" x44',2O" x48" and 20" x44". Although developed as stock items, individual manufacturers may offer other standard sizes.

Another View o[ TV "Life Digest" has a good story about an old lady who was about to celebrate her one-hundredth birthday, and whose relatives were anxious to make a big event of the occasion. They offered her many inducements for observing that great anniversary, but she refused all of them, and declared all she wanted to do was stay home and sit. Mack Giles, of Jpmes L. Hall Co., San Francisco wholesalers, flew to Seattle March 9 to spend between two and three weeks calling on mills in Washington and Oregon.
Willard LaFranchi, manager of the Fresno office of Pacific Forest Products, Inc., left March 16 to spend a week calling on mills in the Arcata-Eureka area.
L. R. "Andy" Anderson, formerly a salesman for Lincoln Lumber Company, Oakland, is now with Eastshore Lumber & Mill Co., Oakland, as salesman, covering the San Francisco Bay area.
One of her relatives suggested that maybe she'd like to take her first airplane ride, in which case he, would be glad to make all arrangements. Said the determined old lady:
"I ain't a-goin'to ride in no flying machine. I'11 just sit here and watch the television, like the Lord intended I should." Russell Ells, president, Willits Redwood Products Co., Willits, Calif., and Al Bell, partner in Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco, left on a six weeks' business trip by air. They will visit Texas and other Southern states including Florida. They will visit New York and Chicago. and rvill make a trip up north to Maine.
C. A. "Chet" King, The Robert Dollar Co., San Francisco, flew to Southern California the latter part of February. He spent a few days in Los Angeles and visited Steve Freeman at Balboa.

Western Pine Boosts \(/oodwork Promotion, Approyes Pattern Standardization at Meeting
Wcrlter S. Johnson Re-elected President
U. R, Armstrong Re-elected Vice PreEident
San Francisco, Feb. Z2-More than 300 members of the Western Pine Association concluded their annual meeting here today after three days of action which included the re-election of three officers, adoption of standardized casing and base moulding patterns, minor grading rule changes and approval of increased participation in a national rvoodrvork promotion program.
The lumbermen, drawn to the Bay city from throughout the lZ-state Western Pine region, also heard their president, \\ralter S. Johnson of San Francisco, report that industry production in 1951 set a new record and that association membership again showed an increase last year. "shipments, holever, were off approximately 6.5 per cent," he said, "and prospects for 1952 rndicate a further decline, although it may be slight, from that figure." S. \r. Fullarvay, Jr., secretary-manager, admonishcd members not to forget their civic duties. There is abundant evidence, he said, that too many businessmen are being lulled into complacency by our temporary prosperity and fail to realize that 1952 is to be a most crucial year for this nation. "They are apparently unaware of 'rvhat seems obvious to
C. T, Grcy

others-that the outcome of this year may well determine rvhether our free enterprise can survive," he said.
\V. E. Grifiee, assistant to Fullal'ay, said the Western Pine industry could look forward to a 1952 shipment volume approximately 15 per cent ttnder that of last year, although admitting that it is an especially difficult year' for u'hich to make a prediction. Griffee pointed out that residential construction in the year ahead cannot be forecast by ordinary standards ancl that government purchases have not yet become an important factor in the market. Adoption of a group of standardized Western Pine casing and base patterns came as the result of a year-long series of meetings throughout the pine region to agree upon consolidation of the many contours and sizes produced in the various sections. The new patterns will be knolvn as the 300 series. Pattern sheets rvill be published by the association shortly. The association also approved clarification of the moulding grading rules to limit the amount of under-S-foot lengths to 15 per cent in any one item. Rules for moulding stock \vere amended to add the sentence, "Pieces of ordinarl'

His parents moved to Negaunee in Northern Michigan when he was two years old, remaining there until he lvas seven, when they moved to Toledo, Ohio, where he resided until he was 22 yearc of age. When he finished school he went to work for Maclaren and Sprague, rvholesale lumber dealers in Toledo, starting in as office boy and afterwards as bookkeeper and salesman. Ffe came to Los Angeles in 1884, then a town of 18,000 people, and the business section was centered around the Plaza. In April, 1885, he got a position 'with the Ganahl Lumber Co. at First and Alameda Streets as bookkeeper, then as mana€Jer, and was with the firm for three years, leaving to go into the real estate business. ITe was soon back in the lumber business and went with the Western Lumber Company at 9th and San Pedro Streets, remaining there for two years, and as there rvere no jobs available at that time in Los Angeles, he decided to try his luck in San Francisco where he went to work as a bookkeeper in a branch yard for the San Francisco Lumber Co. He remained in San Francisco onlv a feu' months. and returned to Los Angeles. The Perry Lumber Co. offered him a position to manage a small yard they were starting in Chino, Calif., and he was there until they transferred him to their University yard in West Los Angeles. After six months, the company decided to discontinue the yard. In 1890 he became associated u'ith the Bridal Veil Lumber Co. at Bridal Veil, Ore., and part of the time he had an omce in Denver selling Pacific Coast lumber products to the yards in Colorado and Nebraska. While there he attended the World's Fair in Chicago. In 1894 he returned to Los Angeles resolved to start in business for himself. He started a jobbing business, first on commision and later buying and selling on his own account, covering yards in the San Joaquin Valley, Arizona and Ner,v Mexico. Later on he added hardwood lumber and flooring and at that time was the only hardwood dealer in the Los Angeles area. In 1900 he joined with John H. Mullin, rvho had been with the San Pedro Lumber Co. but'ivas then operating his
own yard in Jerome, Arizona. They formed the Montgomery-Mullin Lumber Co. and it became one of the leading concerns in the Los Angeles area. They operated yards in Los Angeles, Redondo, Ocean Park, Sawtelle, Hollywood, Highland Park, and South Pasadena in Southern California, and in Jerome, Prescott and Cottonwood in Arizona.
They continued the operation of the yards until 1916, d-oing a successful business, when they sold out to the Patten-Davies Lumber Co. (now Patten-Blinn Lumber Co.), retaining the Arizona and Hollywood yards. N[r. Montgomery took over personally the Hollywood yard and ran it until the land became too valuable for a lumber business. He then discontinued the Hollywood yard, secured tenants for the buildings he erected, all on long-time leases that pay a good income. On retiring from business, 1\[r. Montgomery became a world traveler, and crossed the ocean fifty times, visiting Europe, the Orient, Alaska, Cuba, and spent twenty winters
l
in Hawaii. He has one son, Ward Montgomery, 'ivho is associated 'ivith the Patten-Blinn Lumber Co. in their Los Angeles ofifice. Mr. Montgomery has three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Mr. Montgomery says at the present time he lvonld probably not be able to locate a half dozen old timers in Los Angeles. He and Mrs. Montgomery are living at 818 S. Birch Street, Santa Ana, and he will be happy to hear from any old timer. His main activity and hobby are his scrapbooks rvhich now number seven.

Pressure treated lumber svpplied by NATIONAT WOOD TREATING CORPORATION
The CHEMONITE process
was developed in the labora-
tories of the lJniversity of California. A solution of arsenic and copper is forced, under pressure, deep into wood cells, giving enduring effective protection against decav and insect destruction. Test'pieces of CHEMONITEtreated wood, buried in termite-infested ground 24 years ago, show no signs of dete-
flofauon.

Guarantees Current Carload Prices Of Fir Plywood lor 6 Month Period New York, N. Y., March 4-United States Plywood Corporation today issued the following statement: To stabilize its prices for the benefrt of the many industries which it serves, the United States Plywood Corporation l-ras today guaranteed not to increase its current carload prices on Douglas fir plywood for a period of six months even though it has a sixty-day order file. The Corporation feels that this will facilitate bidding on government and other contracts requiring deferred deliveries, since recent gyrations of fir plywood prices have made it difficult for fabricators and contractors using fir plywood to establish definite costs on their end products.

Stabilization, has been named division director, it was announced. He replaces Rufus I. Worrell who has returned to the Mea.d Sales Co., Inc., Dayton, Ohio, where he is chairman of the board.

Timber Engineering and Research Advances Cited Washington, D.C.-AI the annual meetings of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association held in San Francisco recently, some interesting facts were revealed concerning the growth of the Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D.C., and affiliate of the Association. Harry G. Uhl, president of the Timber Engineering Com-
.panl, reported these facts to the meeting of the TECO board of directors. In his report, Mr. Uhl traced the growth of the compahy over the past 12 years. lfe pointed out that 12 years ago Fersolin, the soil improver made from sawdust, silver recovery through the use of lignin, burn-proof desk tops, hardened wood desk legs, laminated wood rolls for manufacturing wallpaper, non-destructive testing of timber, laminated ship keels, a glue that sets in 10 minutes, and 200-foot clear span timber trusses using TECO connectors were unheard of. Yet all of these products, because of industry research carried on under the auspices of the Timber Engineering Company, are here today. Mr. Uhl pointed out that the research and sales promotion efforts of the company are regarded by many as one of the lumber industry's outstanding examples of how research pays ofi for lumber and forest products. In reviewing the advances made by the Timber Engineering Company since its inception 18 years ago, Uhl revealed that the sale of Teco produ,cts has amounted to nearly $11 million, that the companv has spent $816,000 in research and engineering and that aggressive TECO lumber sales promotion and advertising designed to hold old lumber markets and to develop new sales outlets has amounted to expenditures of $2,650,000. He went on to point out that from these modest expenditures, all based on and resulting from research, lumber fnanufacturers have realized, the sale of 1600 million board feet of lumber (over 80,000 carloads) valued at ffi7 million. , This lumber, used with the Teco system of timber construction, has resulted in the erection of well over 150,000 structures of all types. Members of the Teco board were told that, based on the sale of its own products, the Timber Engineering Company has invested 7.4 per cent of sales in research and that, based on the value of lumber sold, it has invested I.2 per cent oi sales in research.
In reporting on the accomplishments of the Teco laboratory, lo,cated in Washington, D.C., Mr. Uhl pointed out that demand by the industry for the laboratory's services necessitated the expansion of laboratory space and facilities four times in eight years. In that period of time the laboiatory handled, on a fee basis, 363 projects lor 217 companies, associations and Government agencies, resulting in gross fees of $770,000. While discussing the personnel situation of the company, Mr. Uhl recalled that 12 years ago, Teco had a staff of 11 people and a budget of $64,000, whereas today there is a staff of 64 engineers, wood technologists, chemists and clerical employees and a budget lor 1952 of over a half million dollars. In summing up this report to the board of directors, Mr. Uhl said, "The beneficial results to the industry and its customers from the efiorts of this one small company in the field of research,'we feel, point to the wisdom of expanding the present research investments of the industry through the associations and by individual companies alike." Construdtion Projects Get Golsign Washington, March l7-The government said today it has "substantial" amounts of steel, copper and aluminum on hand for building commercial projects in the last half of 1952. It invited contractors to put in bids for new constru,ction jobs. Manly Fleischmann, head of the Defense Production Administration, said major increases in allotments of the hitherto scarce materials will go to highway, school and hospital builders starting July 1. He indicated that practically all applications now pending for industrial and commercial structures will be approved. Fleischmann said the shift in policy r,vas dictated by the easing of demand for metal in industrial expansion for defense.
The government will not approve building projects of amusement and recreation places, Fleischmann said.

Construction Awards in February Expenditures for new construction declined seasonally in February by about 7 per cent to $2 billion, according to a report issued. today jointly bf' the Building Materials Division of the U. S. Department of Commerce and the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor. All major types of 'construction shared in the drop, except private industrial building, which is heavily influenced by the basic steel and aluminum, and the aircraft plant programs. There was a proportionately greater drop in public than in private construction activity this month, as highway rvork declined seasonally and public industrial and military facility programs failed to expand. Outlays for public construction declined by 9 per cent to $594 million. On the other hand, private construction expenditures fell less than usual at this time of the year (by 6 per cent from $1.5 to $1.4 billion), reflecting primarily strength in residential building as well as the rise in industrial 'ivork. The 10 per cent in.crease in housing starts in January buoyed residential building in February. when work went forward on many of the units started earlier. Expenditures for all nerv construction for the first two months of this year were about the same as for the same period of 1951, but the composition of the program had changed markedly. The major dol'nswings of a fifth on private residential and a third on commercial work were offset by the huge industrial expansion of 70 per cent from relatively high postwar levels and a multiplication of several times in expenditures for military and naval construction. The dollar volume of public housing more than doubled over the year, reflecting activity finally begun by the spring of 1951 on projects for which planning was started shortly after the passage of tl-re Housing Act of 1949.

California. Lloyd has a host of friends in the California lumber indus.try.
Forest Advisory Board Discusses Stability of Lumber Industry San Francisco, February l5-Members of the nationalforest advisory council, representing the public as counselors to the U. S. Forest Service in matters of policy, have met with Regional Forester Clare W. Hendee to discuss sales of government timber, particularly in northwestern California where the current rate of cutting is much below the sustained-yield capacity. The discussion centered on a program of timber sales that would result in the establishment of a stable lumber industry and stable communities.
Lloyd D. Milne
This is a career sketch of Lloyd D. Milne rvho manages the Highland Lumber Company at Roseburg, Oregon' Lloyd was born in Ukiah, California, where as a boy he startecl his lumber career working during summer vacations in the various mills in that area. He served in World War I with the 210th Field Signal Battalion attached to the 10th Division under Major Gen-

eral Leonard Wood. After tl-re war he completed his education at the ljniversity of California, then started with the Union Lumber Company in their mill at Fort Bragg ' In 1923 he rvas employed by the Hammond Lumber Companv in the wholesale lumber department at their Los Angeles office where he remained until 1929. In 1929 he started the Macco Lumber Contpany at Clearwater where he served as manager of their operations until 1943 when he purchased a half interest in the Signal Lumber Company at Long Beach, remaining there until 1948. After leaving Signal, he went north, and in 1951 was appointed sales manager of the Coon Creek Timber Co. at Roseburg, Oregon. During the past year, he started the Highland Lumber Company, a r,vholesale division of the Coon Creek Timber Co., supplying the retail lumber yards throughout the United States. Lloyd is a member of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club, Los Angeles Athletic Club, San Nfarino Lodge F & A M, Al Malaikah Temple, Long Beach Consistory 32, and a Past Commander of Lumbermen's Post of the American Legion.
Members of the advisory council include Samuel B. Morris, general manag'er, Department of Water and Power, City of Los Angeles; Bestor Robinson, Oakland attorney; W. S. Rosecrans, Los Angeles, chairman State Board of Forestry; Barney Mayes, San Francisco, American Federation of Labor; Dr. Claude B. Hutchison, Berkeley, Dean of the University College of Agriculture; A' B. Hood, Anderson, General Manager of Ralph L' Smith Lumber Co.; Carl F. \Mente, San Francisco, vice-chairman, general executive committee, Bank of America; and John H. Guthrie, Porterville livestock operator.
The annual cut from California's national forests is 750 million board feet, but the maximum capacity under sustained yield is 1.2 billion board feet. The members of the advisory council felt than an increase in national-forest production would have beneficial effects by relieving pressure on private timberlands, and that releasing old-growth stands from stagnation would increase the net rate of growth several times. To reach a sttstained-yield goal of 1.2 billion board feet
within five years, heavy investments in roads to open uP inaccessible timber would be necessary. The Forest Service 'w'ould have to invest about 4.5 million dollars annually and industry 3.1 million, to be followed by a total investment of at least an additional 3 million dollars by industry in secondary and spur roads. The council felt that the
government should build access roads only when industry could not, and that a stable industry 'ivould be able to handle much of the job. The importance of prompt action on road construction lvas stressed, for purposes of fire protection and salvage of timber before further losses from insects and diseases occurred. Nearly one-half billion board feet of timber-enough for 5000 homes-are being rvasted each year in California's national {orests, since any possible growth increase in virgin stands is usually offset by natural losses. Careful logging steps up the growth rate on the remaining stand and harvests timber otherwise lost through deterioration.

A Forgotten Hero
Lord Francis Byron came to America in the 1820s-
after a bitter disappointment in love, as the story was told' By 1830 he was making his name as the first lumberman on the Wisconsin River. Until his death at Grand Rapids, Wisconsin on September 27, 1877, this U.S.A. Lord was famed in every logging camp and lumber town in all the Lake States. Lord Byron with the bark on was the first of the pinervoods admirals of the lumber rafts that 'ivere sailed and poled down to St. Louis and other Mississippi River points' To build his first pine mill for lumber rafting, Lord Byron hauled machinery and supplies by oxteam for three hundred miles from Galena, in the northwest corner of the present state of lllinois, on the Mississippi. The Wisconsin River wilderness was his goal. To raft lumber over the white water of the Wisconsin River Dalles, the noblg lord enlisted brave and brarvny men to go into the pine woods with him, defying hostile nature and the hate of the Indians, to rope and pole white pine through the rapids and on to the Mississippi Valley markets.
A True Pinetop. . . lle came to be known not only as "Lord" but as "Big Frank" Byron, a mighty man of the timber, a landlooker ancl pine prospector, a Paul Bunyan of Lake States history in person. He loved the life so well that when his hightoned family of old Europe finally tracked him down, they faiied to lure him home. One shrewd move they made rvas the present of a great estate in Canada, but he refused to budge. He stayed with his pinetops, shanty boys' sleighhaul jacks and river pigs. It was the raw life of pioneer pine-rvoods lumbering in the Lake States that mattered most to the cork-booted Byron of the Wisconsin River. He knew he was playing a giant's part in a historical American development.

There l{'ere many others of Big Frank Byron's breed, if
tllilEl rnErcHANr
not of his lineage. There was the titanic trio, Miller, Hall and Birney, who set the first sawmill going on the Saginaw in 1837-the Birney who later caused Martin Van Buren to.lose the presidency of the United States, when his party, the Free Soilers, let General William Henry Harrison carry New York. But the names would run into the hundreds if all the worthy ones were dug up and set forth from the formative time of the pine frontier in the Lake States. One name r'vould be that of Len Day, powerful Minnesota lumberman of the early rafting down the Mississippi, a man who toiled with his river men on killing drives even when he was in his seventies.
It has been the popular style to write up such piney pioneers as hell-roaring bullies of fist and boot, as raiders of the public domain and as forest wasters and devastators, so that the greatness of their 'contribution to American development has been hidden under successive coats of smear and sensation.
Now we begin to see that they were ruled and driven by the economics of their day. They were men rvho risked all on one venture. Where one would win many would go bust. The Big Winner was a hero on the frontier. A later generation debunked him. Now r'r'e see him just as a mighty good man.
National \(/ood Tank Institute rVill Meet at San Francisco April 28 The National Wood Tank Institute, at the invitation of George Windeler Co., will gather for their semi-annual convention at the Mark Hopkins Hotel, San Francisco, on April 28. This is the first time the Institute has held a meeting west of Chicago. The president of the Institute is Charles S. Perry, head of the Baltimore Cooperage and Tower Company, Baltimore, Maryland, and vice president is W. S. Heger, Jr., sales manager of the George Windeler Co., San Francisco.

An Ordincrry Husbcrnd
The following advertisement appeared in a Phoenix, Arizona, newspaper: "Cowboy wanted or dude ranch. Must be able to play guitar and canasta. We'll teacli you how to ride."
Scrint Frcrncis OI Assisi's Prcryer Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, Pardon; Where thete is doubt, faith; , Where there is desPair, hoPe; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joY. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to consol'e; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
A Great Epitcph
One of the ''greatest American epitaphs is that on the tomb of Kit Carson in Santa Fe, New Mexico, that reads: "He led the way."
Sir Wcrlter Scott Wrote: Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land. Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand. If such there breathe, go, mark him well, For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And doubly dying shall go down To the vile dust from which he sprung, Unwept, unhonoured, and unsung.
Weeds way' we look upon weeds as unthinking our Usually,'in enemies or as useless plants. Soil experts know their value.
New Neighbor: "What sort of man is' your husband?" Wife: "Oh, the ordinary sort. Forty-two around the waist, forty-two around the chest, ninety-two around the golf course, and a nuisance around the house."
Some Title Professor Sandhouse, writing in "Texas & Pacific Topics," tells about a Shrine ceremonial in Dallas, Texas, where a downtown cross street was roped off for the parade to form. Only official cars with large signs such as "Potentate," and "Past Potentate" were allowed in the area. All other traffic was either stopped or re-routed. But one character got by the police blockade and drove right on through. His car had a placard that was marked: "Past Participle."
Don't Be Impctient (From "The lloward Way.")
"If you don't get what you want this instant, relax and think about some figures that will make your own affairs seem small.
"Take our earth, which is so important to us. Do you know that 1,000,000 earths could be put inside the sun? Go on from there to the fact that Betelgeuse and Antares have a bulk from thirty to forty million times that of our sun. "The sun is the brightest thing we know more or less familiarly, but Rigel, of the constellation of Orion would be at least 10,000 times as bright as our sun if we could come as near to it as we are to the sun. "Flere on earth, time is needed for results of importance. Geological evidence indicates that one thousand million years or more have been required for the development of our earth to its present condition. "So, what's your hurry? Business will be carried on here long after you give up your desk, chair, or job. You can't get all ttre work done. Do what you can the best way you can, and get fun out of it."
Our True Worth The real measure of wealth is how much we would be worth if we lbst our money.

point, he may add to the ceiling the actual cost of making the transfer. Additional charges are prescribed for mixed car or mixed truck shipments and for stop-over loading. Producers may.add up to $9 per 1,000 board feet to the basic ceiling prices for retail sales. Such sales must be delivered by truck to an ultimate consumer who is not an industrial or commercial user, in lots of less than 20,000 board feet, with the purchaser enjoying the privilege of exchanging or returning unused lumber. Producers may add up to three per cent to the f.o.b' ceiling to cover commissions actually paid to commission men. Commissions paid and charged to the buyer may exceed three per cent, but in no event may the selling price, plus the commission charged the purchaser, exceed the f.o.b. ceiling plus three per cent. If a producer cannot determine a ceiling price for a special item or service, he must apply to the Director of Price Stabilization, Washington 25, D. C., in a prescribed manner, for establishment of a ceiling, proposing the ceiling price desired, and setting forth required particulSrs. Any sale of such an item, pending the approval of a proposed ceiling price, must be made subject to adjustment to conform to any revision in the proposed ceiling which may be made by OPS. The proposed ceiling will be deemed approved after 20 days i{ OPS does not act in the meantime. If OPS in the meantime requests additional information on the application, the proposed ceilings rvill be deemed approved 15 days after the furnishing of additional information unless OPS in the meantime takes further action. Producers are required to keep prescribed records of prices and sales. Copies of the regulation are available at District OPS
Homebuilders started 77,W new permanent nonfarm dwelling units in February, an increase of 13 per cent (9,000 units) from January, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The rise was entirely in private homebuilding and occurred in virtually all sections of the country, as it became apparent to builders that the materials supply situation was easing. Private builders housing starts totalled 74,500 during February, a gain of 15 per cent (almost 10,000 units) from January, and only 3 per cent under the February 1951 rrolume.
A summary of preliminary telegraphic reports from both urban and rural building-permit officials show a JanuaryFebruary rise of 25 per cent in the number of new units for which building permits were issued, indicating a further strong uptrend of housing starts volume in March. Especially significant increases in residential permit issuance during February occured in the Middle Atlantic and North Central States and in the far west. Three-fourths of the reporting cities showed gains, 'ivith marked increases in drvelling unit authorizations occurring in Long Beach, Nerv York, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Washington, D.C.

WOUTD YOU FIRE A MAN WHO
HAS WIIRKED TOR VOU 30 YEARS? If not, you have, then, but two choices: 1. Keep him on the payroll OR
2. Pension him
If you keep him after he should have been retired: Retention of superanuated employees is often expensive mistakes supervision required slowing down of -work irregularity of attendance - irritability towards
customefs.
-
They worry about how long you will tolerate these de-
ficiencies. They worry themselves into still more errors. THEY ARE COSTLY! Since it isn't expedient to either fire him or keep him on the p,ayroll, it then fppears you'll do better for lhe company
1I you pensron nrm. COST? A pension plan costs less than keeping him at work after he should have been retired.

CAIIFONN]A TUMBER IIEICIIAN'
Architects Are Specifying Fabricated Timber for Needed Construction Washington, D. C.-Today the nation's lumber manttfacturers called attention to the fact that in these day of critical metal shortages, plenty of timber is available for both civilian and defense construction needs. In making this statement, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association underscored the fact that the industry, in addition to supplying mounting military needs is currently in a position to provide necessary material for neecled civilian construction, As an example of the increasing utilization of u'ood structures, the Association pointed to the fact that architects are specifying the use of fabricated timber as the answer to the nation's need for buildings of all types. Attesting to the increasing popularity of such wooden buildings is the result of a recent survey of architects and contractors rvhich shows the follorving current projects that they are planning to build of lr'ood : \\rarehouses, 221; Garages, 70; Highway (l3ridges), 40; Clhurches, 259; Residential, 142; Recreational, 99 ; Industrial, 196; Commercial, 136; Schools, 235; Military, 38; Miscellaneous, 209.
Association spokesman pointed out that not only architects, bnt school oflicials, businessmen, church officials, engineers, and individuals as well, are turning to building canstruction of n'ood since they lind that modern methods of design and construction and the use of economical matcrials enable them to secure mitximum spacc n'ith minil1111m expenditure. Other favorable factors entering into the picture, according to lumbermen, are the sufficient supply and ready availability of fabricated timbers for use as roof trusses. The fact that arnple supplies are available has been verified as a result of a survey o{ timber fabricators shor,ving that the industry, on one-shift, has the capacity to provide 400 million board feet of such trusses each year. The lumber industry has found that, for each pourld of steel non' allocated to the mannfacture of timber conncctors and other hardr,vare used in timber connector construction, ten pounds of steel are saved for vital defense purposes. This same ratio of steel savings occurred during the World War II emergency, but the industry since
the 1940's has greatly expanded its capacity. Rapidly expanding facilities of lumber firms over the past several years now make it possible to supply pre-fabricated timber trttsses in spans lrom 25 to 200 feet, in addition to the ability to
provide required framing, siding, flooring and other construction needs. In vierv of ready availability, prompt deliveries, and economical prices for wood frame materials, lumbermen say there is no need for holding up or deferring the building of vitally needed industrial and commercial, church, school or other building throughout the nation during 1952. The Timber Engineering Company, an affiliate of the NLMA, is in a position to provide information and assisternce to architects and contractors who are concerned with furthering their building prog'rams. Interested parties should rvrite to: Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C., requesting a copy of any of the follorving free, illustrated booklets they might pertinent to their programs: (l) "Timber for Nfilitary, Commercial & Inclustrial Build-
i.g" (2) "Churches" (3) "school Buildings Your Tax Dollars Can Afiord" (4) "Typical Designs of Timber Structttres."

Handy Panelt (Continued from Page 12)
Both the small panels and racks are norv available ttl clealers from their regular sources of supply of plyrvoocl.
Self-Service Selling
O. Harry Schrader, Jr., managing director of Douglas Fir Plywood Association, describes the program as "the
self-service selling idea applied to plywood." He pointed out that 'wherever dealers have merchandised small panels, they have found a tremendous unfilled demand from basement builders, home-craftsmen, local stores, school shops and other sources. Smaller stock sizes rvill also appeal to certain types of industrial users such as sign shops. The manufacture of small panels in stock sizes means dealers can cash in on this demand and build tie-in sales of related merchandise the easy way. Each panel is clearlv labeled at the mill for type and grade with easily-removed. pressure-sensitive labels. All the customer has to do is help himself, all the dealer has to do is mark the price of each panel in the space provided on the label and keep the rack stocked. Goes Anywhere The rack occupies only 10 square feet of floor space and can easily be placed on casters to ro11 outside to catch sidervalk traffic ancl build impulse sales. Inside, it can be used as an island display, set against the 'wal1 or placed
in a corner.
The idea eliminates time-consuming cutting in the yard and troublesome inventory complications. Man, 'ivoman or bo'r, the customer just flips through the stock, selects what he wants, pays for it quickly and puts it in his car. Schrader emphasized that the Handy Panel rack is not designed to take the place of custom cut-to-size selling rvhere such business has proved profitable. He said it rvas designed to augment present sales of small sizes and to help other dealers cash in on this business without adding
THAN A QUARTER CENTURY 'NORE OF SERVICE TO THE RETAIT LU'NBER, INDUSTR,Y
displaying any cut-to-size fr.r plyrvood. He also pointed out that the idea should increase sales of related items like paint, hardrvare, fastenings and larger standard-size panels.
National Promotion To keep stock moving through the racks, the manufacturers are putting plenty of beef into their promotion. They have commissioned the firm of Norman Cherner, ranking industrial designer, author and instructor at Columbia University, to prepare easy-to-follow plans of smart, up-tothe-minute furniture, built-ins and other projects the amateur craftsman can build with present stock sizes of Handy Panels.
Jhese plans will be published in national magazines and ne\ rspapers and the Handy Panel idea will be backed with national advertising and publicity in homecraft magazines.
Other Handy Panel sales aids and dealer ad mats will be available for local tie-in promotion. The racks have been made available in easily-assembled, knock-dorvn form in a complete package, including an initial supply of sales folders and two bright window streamers to fuit customers inside the store. The base is 2' x 5' ancl the rack stands 6'-7" high rvith a big, colorful sign dominating the center. Each end is fitted rvith racks for Handy Panel iiterature. The exact grades in rvhich Handy Panels are being manufactured are: EXT-DFPA A-A and EXT-DFPA Plyshield A-C (r'aterproof glue, trvo-side and one-side) and Interior A-A and A-D (for interior uses). Dick Brickell of Arcata Manufacturing Co., Arcata, Calif., recently spent a feu'days in San Francisco on business for his firm. He t'as accomDanie-d bv his wife.
