SINGLE.PLY PLASTIC FACED PANELS

The surfaces of each panel, pleasing brown in color, are smooth, grain' less and weatherproof-of phenol-type, resin-impregnated plastic, permanently bonded to a Douglas fir core body. In SUPER-Harborite SINGLE-PLY, the plastic faces are applied to a single sheet of Douglas fir veneer, providing a thin panel with unusually durable surfaces -ideal for drawer bottoms, case backs, displays and countless uses.

MULTI-PLY is manufactured in the same manner as SINGLE-PLY, but with core body of strong, rigid, split-proof Douglas fir plywood. Phenol-type, resin-impregnated plastic faces overlay the cross-banded layers of plywood core. Result is great strength, rigidity, light weight' plus smooth, grainless, weatherproof, easily-finished surfaces. Ideal for a wide range of construction and industrial uses. $UP[Hflutou EXTERIOR-TYPE DOUGLAS FIR, PLYWOOD

INTERIOR.TYPE PLYPANET

This is the original exterior-type, outdoor plywood. Veneers are bonded by a special H-arbor process, utilizing a Harbor-developed, phenol-aldehyde synthetic resin, set under normal plywood Pressures in Harbor's giant hot plate presses. SUPER-Harbord is the outstanding plywood for exposure to weather, water or moisture conditions.

Giant-size SUPER-Harbord panels, with special scarf joint, are made to order in any length, with maximum width of 8 ft. 6 in. Used for planking and boat decks; sides,floors, ceilings of buses,trucks, trailers.

"If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knotrvs no fear, then I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are' frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fears, to carry on. Discipline, pride, self-respect, self-confidence, and the love of glory, are attributes which will make a man courageous, even if he is afraid."

-C;n1at *Georse S. Patton.

The most interesting book based on World War Two that has come my way is "Lucky Forward," written by Col. Robert S. Allen, concerning the campaign of the Third Army under General Patton. It is nothing if not terrific.

I recommend it. Col. Allen throughout the campaign, and the story is told at first hand. The opening quotation is from that book. :1.**

was General Patton's aide

If Patton were still alive today, I arn not dead sure which I would prefer to have representing the United States in a head-and-head conference with the Godless men of Russia-Patton or MacArthur. MacArthur would do the smoothest job'-Patton the most rugged. Either would make himself thoroughly understood by such as Molotov, Vishinsky, or Stalin. Can you imagine those venomous Ruskies looking either of those men in the face and uttering their favorite insults to the United States? Even though backed by all the armies of the Soviet or all the legions of hell-they wouldn't dare. These are the sort of men I would like to see speaking for this country. And, since Patton isn't here, I have only one choicethe Magnificent MacArthur. *,k*

fsn't it an impressive fact that the Russians have never made the assaults against this nation in the Japanese territory that they have in Europe? To stick their nose into MacArthur's business, would simply mean the certain loss of a nose. They are toughbut not that tough; they are stupid but not that stupid. They have let us practically alone in that area for just one reason

Had we kept our entire military strength in Europe and Asia, Russia would have been iust as friendly to us today as she was when we were pouring into her hands the tools with which she made her immortal stand against the Nazi hordes. With each shipload of American troops that came home, Russia grew less friendly. With each gun that we silenced, her good will disappeared. With each plane that we grounded, snarls replaced her smiles. Our trouble is that we don't read enough history. WE FORGET THAT HAWKS EVADE EAGLES. BUT EAT PIGEONS. command Americans in the great conflict. And where cuss words were to be used, he used them. Being a rough-neck myself, I enjoyed his remarks. There is nothing gentle about war, or war language. * *

If, by chance, you are inclined to be an admirer of British High Commander Montgomery; or if y o u shrink from robust language; don't tackle this book. The writer had a mighty poor opinion of "Monty." In fact, he hadn't too good an opinion of some of our high

The general opinion of the writer of the book is that General Patton had two mighty jobs over there; first, to whip the Germans; second, to get the high command to allow him to whip the Germans. The latter job was as big as the first. Read it, and see for yourself. The publisher is the Vanguard Press, New York.

To me, one of the highiiglit" l, ,n" entire book, is General Patton's favorits maxim, or piece of practical advice. The writer sayb datton gave trimself this advice frequently: "DOI:NOT, TAKE COUNSEL WITH YOUR FEARS." In other words, don't let your fears affect your judgment. That belongs in a class with that older philosophy of the same sort: "Never strike a sail to fear; come into port preudly, or sail with God the seas.!'

-MacArthur. **t<

My idea of the most perfect set-up in creation would be General MacArthur facing that unholy trio, Vishinsky, Stalin and Molotov, and

telling them in his own original fashion just exactly what he thought of them. That would be something to make the mountain-tops rock in the heavens, the stars fall flashing from the sky. We all know what we THINK about the Ruskies. But MacArthur could put it in words. ***

Here are a few facts about General MacArthur you may not recall: In World War One he was gassed, he was wounded twice, he was decorated THIRTEEN TIMES for extreme braver5r under fire; he was cited seven additional times for bravery. One of those citations read: "fle displayed indomitable resolution and great courage in rallying broken lines and in reforming attacks, thereby making victory possible. On a field where.courage was the rule, his courage was the dominant feature." ***

older except the hills, MacArthur, and the devil." The MacArthurs used to claim to be'the oldest branch of the Clan Campbell, headguarters' at Strachur. Until James First executed the head of that clan in 1427, the MacArthur tribe was one of the strongest in Scotland.

rF**

If General MacArthur ever becomes President of the United States, we would finally have a man in that office who is so much more eloquent than any ghost writer of modern times that he would have no possible use for one on his staff. Let me quote a writing of his on the subject of sports. The 1928 Olympic'Games were held in Amsterdam, and MacArthur was President of the American Olympic Committee. It was his duty to make an official report on the games to President Coolidge. He made one, and the following glorified scrapbook piece was the beginning of that report:

"In undertaking this difficult task, f recall the passage of Plutarch where Themistocles, being asked whether he would ratirer be Achilles or Homer, replied: 'Which would you rather be, a conqueror in the Olympic Games, or the crier who proclaims who are the conquerors?' And indeed, to portray adequately the vividness and brilliance of that great spectacle would be worthy even of the pen of Homer himself. No words of mine can even remotely portray such great moments as the resistless onrush of the matchless California Eight as it swirled and crashed down the placid waters of the Sloten; that indomitable will for victory that marked the deathless rush of Barbuti; that sparkling combination of speed and grace by Elizabeth Robinson which might have rivalled even Artemis herself on the heights of Olympus. I can but relate the bare, blunt facts, trusting that imagination will supply the magic touch to that which can never be forgotten by those who were actually present." ***

And this is how he expresses himself about spending our resources in behalf of others: "In the determination of our global policy, care rnust of course be exercised to avoid commitment of our resources beyond what we can safely spare-the sapping of our national strength to the point of jeopardy of our own security-and the overburdening of our people beyond their capacity to maintain a standard of life consistent with the energies with which they are naturally endowed. For it would be illogical for us to yield our own liberties in the safeguard of the liberties of others." {c * ,1.

And witness his power of expression and clear thinking as he discusses leadership: "I believe that when we orient ourselves to the courses which in the past brought to us national strength and political greatness; when we draw closer to those simple concepts which sought the maximum

of personal liberty in the rising of individual dignity, and rvhen we again understand, as did Lincoln, the fundamental soundness of the people's own wisdom and judgEl€Dt,-€tC., etc., etc." A literary expert recently remarked that MacArthur is the greatest stylist and phrasemaker since Woodrow Wilson. I think his championship in word eloquence goes back much farther than even ' wilson' ,< ,:. *

These are just fair samples of MacArthur eloquence. Isn't he a word slinger and a phrase wrangler'from who laid the rails? And his splendidly fitting quotations for illustrating his points, prove him a rare scholar as well. Add to that his firsts in everything, all his life, make him a record-holder matched by few in our history. First in his class at West Point. Youngest Chief of Staff. Glorious leader of the Rainbow Division in World War One. Winner in the Pacific in spite of the hurdles that were thrown jealously in his way. And what an administrator in peacetime he has been. Yes sir, a talented man, this MacArthur. He has been called "high hat." Listen, friend, if you were that kind of man, wouldn't you think pretty well of yourself?

* *

In the summer of 1946, less than two years ago, a reporter named Adele Starbird, representing the St. Louis StarTimes, interviewed Madam Joliot-Curie, renowned physicist, in Paris. Miss Starbird wrote: "Her manner was ungracious and forbidding. I had come to ask her about the status of Frenchwomen in the professions, but she wanted to talk about relations between my country and Russia, and for an hour and a half, she did. At first she was icy and bitter, but as we progressed she became molten lava. 'We were kind enough to think you were merely stupid after the first World War,' she said, 'but really our charity can scarcely extend so far in the present situation. You are deliberately fomenting war with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. You are imperialists, and you want war. You Americans seem scarcely civilized. You are exactly like the Germans under Hitler. Your press is venal. There is no freedom of expression. Your children are not educated; they are indoctrinated with lies. Your workingmen are fools, who see no further than their noses. They are satisfied with a raise in wages, when they should be organizing TO OVERTHROW YOUR GOVERNMENT."',

Thus spoke Madam Curie. The other day she stepped off a plane at LaGuardia Field, New York. She came to lecture in this country under Communist-front arrangements. The immigration officials grabbed her right suddenly and whisked her off to ElliS Island. The newspapers say the FBI advised against allowing her in this country. She spent the night in custody, but the next day Attorney General Tom Clark set her free to spread her poison in the United States. How do you, Mr. American, like the thought of having the uroman who spoke the words quoted above, turned loose in America?

What are ure in this country folks, soft-hearted? Or soft-headed ?

Simple Secret for Perfect Plvwood

Combine equal amounts of excellent equipment, expert skill, the finest woods, and keen personal interest. That's the simple secret of the Peninsula Plywood Corporation's success. This cooperative mill was started by a group of men who pooled their money, their long experience, and their "know-how" to create one of the ffnest

Moke Your Yord Heodquorters for DECAY-PROOF, TERIUIITE- PR00F lumber

For added business and steady customers, set yourself up as local headquarters for the lumber that is pressure-treated against wood-destroying fungi and termites-"Wolmanized" lumber.

It's easy to build profitable business on Wolmanized lumber because both owners and contractors quickly appreciate the saving it offers. You can point out that the extra cost of Wolmanized pressure-treated lumber is less than the cost of labor alone to replace ordinary lumber

which has suffered from decay or termites. And you can show actual service records which prove that this pressure-treated lumber lasts 3 to 5 times as long as ordinary wood. A complete merchandising plan is available to help you make sales. With the amount of building that lies ahead, Wolmanized lumber represents an excellent chance for you to attract business to your yard.

l)ivil Bightr, $egregation, and Providence

Bv Jack Dionne

In our bcck ycrd there are mqny lorge trees. In these trees live m(my birds. In our lolt live olhers. And still more birds come crnd go in secson. This hqs been going on lor innumerqble bird generqtions.

The regulcrrs crre mockingbir& cmd blue icrys. Ire ihe spring come Gr world ol robins to visit with us lor q time, os is the wcy ol robins, their red breqsts plecrscnt to the sight.

All these birds live hcrmoniously, ecch breed cnd species pursuing its own wcy, its own devices, its own living hcbits. For generctions clter genercrtion they live thct wcy.

Yet I hcrve never seen crny oI the diflerent bree& oI birds hcve crnything to do with the others. The robins never mix with the icys, the icys with the mockingbirds, or the mockingbirds with the robins. They mind their own business qs, appqrently, God put it in their hecrts to do. hl the scune ycrrd cnd the same trees they remcin in the gnoups thct Providence scw lit to creale.

In our lolt there qre mcny pigeons, oI mcny colors. They, too, have been there lor generctions. They hcve never mixed with the robins, the mockingbirds, or the icys. Seldom do you wcrlk in the ycrd without seeing spqrrows llying crbout. II the spcrrrows hcrve cny truck with cny oI those other birds, it hcrs never ccught my eye or qitention.

Drive out into the country crnd you find grect grcin lields. These lields in fcll cnd winter crbound with birds. The rice birds lly in huge swqrrns, crnd settle to rest or ecrt in thcrt wcy. In other plcrces there are vcrst llocks oI blqckbir& seeking the grcrin the threshers drop. They, too, herd by themselves.

All these birds live with their own kind strictly, qnd live ot pecrce with the other species. Are these birds all wrong cbout this thing-cbout their wcry of living? Are they guilty oI wronglul segnegcrtion, oI lim Crow laws, ol boycotts? Does the lcrct thqt ihey live crnd do qs Mother Ncrture teqches lhem, mecn nothing? Should they mix with these other species, interbreed, etc? Are there no do-gooders qmong the birds to criticize them lor their isolationism? Are they wrong in stcying crlool socitrlly lrom these other birds oI other breeds, <rnd other colors, cnd other charcrcteristics? Are these birds who do oniy that which Providence tcrught them, guilty oI intolerqnce? Should they h<rve cr Civil Rights Act imposed upon them to mqke ihem live otherwise?

Yet the human do-gooders would hcrve us believe thct whcrt is true oI the bir& crnd ihe becsts, is not true oI mqn. As though the scme God thct mcde one, did not mcrke the others. Is there reqson to believe thcrt Providence intended the rcrces oI humcnity to remain less pure thcn the rcrces oI birds cnrd becsts?

Thcrt we should mix the races oI mcrnkind sociclly crnd biologiccrlly is cr horrid thought thct ccnr hqve no bcrcking in the eyes of cr Providence thcrt tcught the birds crrd the bees cmd the becrsts how to live. When the swallows lly bcrck to Ccpistrcrno every yecrr, the other breeds oI birds tcke wing. A black-cnd-tcrn civilizcrtion, such crs the do-gooderswould creqte, is cbhorrent to men cnd birds crlike. The robins, the jcys, the mockingbirds, the spcrrows cnd the pigeons in our ycrd never mcke that mistcke. Mother Nqture doesn't iecch them such inlcmy. For there is no socicrlism in Mother Nqture. There is no Hcrry Trumqn or Eleqnor Roosevelt to tell them they must live otherwise thcrn God so plcdnly intended they should.

New Pope and Talbot Sawmill Dedicated

Oakridge, Oregon, April (r, 1948.-Another lumber producer was added to the industry in the Pacific Northrvest today when the nerv Pope and Talbot sarvmill and logging industry here u'as dedicated to the national service by George A. I'ope, Jr., president of the r-eteran Pacific Coast compan). Stancling at the headrig of the sarvmill, XIr. Pope pullecl the electric snitch rvhich l>rought the first log from the rnili pond up the bull chain to the u'hirring sau's and a nes' enterprise joined the industrial family of the pioneer organization.

It u'as an eventful day in the history of this livelv t<in'r.r, situated -15 miles southeast of Eugene, Oregon, rvhich has cloublecl its population in the past year. Little more than a railroad community rvhen Pope & 'falbot first entered thc :rrea less than tu'o years ago, Oakricige today has a population of around 1200 residents, manl' of l'hon.r are busy in the neu' logging and milling industry and many also associated rvith the business enterprises u'hich have entered the district to serve the expandecl commur-rity.

The Oakridge tir.nber holdings of the company consist of some 32,000 acres of virgin Douglas Fir forest locatccl in the heart of tl.re Cascacle Nlountains in the \\riliarnettc National Forest. It is estimated that the tract contains approximatelv one billion feet of timber. It l as acqrrired in July, 19.16, ar-rd actual u'ork on the mill startecl just about one year ago. Six miles of the main logging road hale been completed, rvith about 15 miles stiil to complete. The mill site is situated just on the edge of the tou'n on l'hat is knorvn as the Dompier site, anrple for expansion in the futttre in Pope and Talbot's plan for full rrtilization of forest resources.

The nerv sau'mill closely follou's the clesign of the firm's highly efficier-rt plant at St. Helens, Oregon, and has a cutting capacity of 200,000 feet on an eight hour day basis. It will employ about 150 u'orkers, u'ith around 175 morc in the u'oods. Tl-re sawmill consists generally of a doublc cut band mill u'ith horizontal resaw and pony edger. The

plarrt rvill also have a small cant gang, iI green and drv planer, and dry kiln capacity for the entire output. The mill yard is large enough to air-<lr1' several million feet o{ lumber. T'he log pond covers 53 acres u,ith a capacity of 15,000,000 board feet of logs. Construction of the sarvnrill n'as done entirely by Pope & Talbot, a great deal of the neu' structure being prefabricated at St. Helens.

Credit for the development and supervision oi the Oakridge inclustry is given to Hillman Luedclemann. vice president ancl gcneral manager; L. I-. Steu,art, chief forester, and assistant to Mr. I-ueddemann ; Cyrtts T. \\ralker. r-ice presirlent; \\'. N.

"D.*n-Redwood" Forest Found In China

The San Frarrcisco Chronicle has just published a series of first-hand reports on the discovery of a forest of "darvnredwood" trees, in the hitherto unexplored fastnesses of China. The reports, with pictures, come from Dr. Milton Silverman, scientific writer for that paper, who is in China with a rvorld-famous botanist and scientist. Dr. Raloh Chaney, of the University of California.

Buried in the rocks of various parts of the earth, scientists for the past l-rundred years have been unearthing 'fossil remains of both animal and tree life that existed at least one hundred million years and more ago; the dinosaur age. Certain of these fossil tree remains have been classified, and are rvell knorvn to science. They are called the "darvn-redrvoods," being a race of redwood trees that existed r,vhen the tvorld \\ras young, but rvhich were sllpposecl to be extinct at least tlventy million years.

Trn'o years ago on a scientific expedition to Cl-rina, Dr. Chaney found and inspected three trees on the far reaches of the Yangtze Kiang, that he found, to his consternation, to be actual "darvn-redlvoods." Reports had it that far inland there u'ere forests of these supposedly longlost trees. So, r.vhen l-re organized an expedition recently to search and investigate, Dr. Silverman rvas sent along by his paper, to cover the story. And what a story it turned out to be ! Various Chinese scientists went with them. They found a lost valley about a hundred miles inland from r,vhere Dr. Chaney had seen the first three redr.r,oods tr,vo years ago, a valley that looked like it was still in the prehistoric age. And here they found, investigated, photograpl-red, and sampled these great redr,voods of the dinosaur age.

The individual trees are not very old, five to six hundred years, and 80 to 10O feet high; but they represent a race of trees thought to have been extinct countless years. In a hundred mile overland trip, these scientists rvent back one hundred million years historically.

The San Francisco Chronicle made a grand story of the matter, a staff artist producing drawings of how the ancient "dawn-redtvoods" must have looked, rvith dinosaurs

all about on the ground, and the great n.inged pterodact1'ls flying overhead.

The American party with Dr. Chaney and Dr. Silr-errnan made the trip by air from San Francisco to the interior of China, then by boat up the Yangtze, and on foot over treacherous mile-high mountains into the great valley of the "dawn-redrvoods."

Until they made their recent discovery, science believed that all the living things of that age, both animal and \-egetable, had passed into the unknown countless millions of years back, and existed today only in scattered fossil remains. So the dinosaur age of trees is norv knolvn to still exist in the shape of several hundred "darvn-red\Yoods."

H. H. Bcrg Returns From Philippine Islcrnds Visit

Henry H. Barg, of Barg Lumber Company, San Francisco, returned recently from spending six weeks in the Philippine Islands, where he visited the mills and woods operations of the Valderrama Lumber Manufacturers Co., Inc., of Bacolod, in the island of Negros in the Central Philippines.

The Pcrable of the Camels

We sojourned in Egypt, I and Keturah, and we rode on Donkeys, and also on Camels. Now, of all the beasts that ever were made, the camel is the most ungainly and preposterous, and also the most picturesque. And he taketh himself very seriously.

And we beheld a string of five Camels that belonged in one Caravan, and they were tethered every one to the Camel in front of him. But the foremost of the Camels had on a halter that was tied to the saddle of a Donkey.

And I spake unto the man of Arabia who had the Camels, and inquired of him how he managed it.

And he said, each Camel followeth the one in front and asketh no questions. And I come after, and prod up the last Camel.

And I said, doth not the first Camel consider that there is no other Camel in front of him, but only an Ass?

And he answered, Nay, for the first Camel is blind, and knoweth only that there is a pull at his halter. And every other'Camel, followeth as he is led, and I prod up the hindermost one.

And I inquired, how about the Donkey?

And he said, the Donkey is too stupid to do anything but keep straight on, and he hath been often over the road. And I said unto Keturah, Behold a picture of human life, for on this fashion have the processions of the ages largely been formed. For there be few men who ask otherwise than how the next in front is going, and they blindly follow, each in the track of those who have gone before.

And Keturah said, But how about the leader?

And I said, That is the profoundest secret of history; for often he who seemed to be the leader was really behind the whole procession, and at the head was nothing more sensible than a Donkey.

The fools make the fashions. and wise men follow them.

For so long as the world is content with the kind of leadership that now doth guide the fashions in clothes, politicks, and such like, the Donkey will not lack for occupation.

Some Factors Affecting The Manufacture Of \7hite Fir Lumber In The Calilornia Pine Region

Bv E. M. Davis, Technologist, and R. H. P. Miller, Engineer Forest Products Laboratory, I Forest Service, U. S. Department oI Agriculture

The question of how to convert white fir into lurnber most economically is one of growing importance to the California lumber industry. True firs2 now comprise 20 per cent of the remaining sawtimber in California, as compared with 15 per cent in Washington and 6 per cent in Oregon. Lumber is the principal use of white fir in California, which produces about two-thirds of the total white fir lumber cut. Some use for pulp. promises to develop in California shortly, but the geography of the State is unfavorable to a pulp industry of such large proportions as is possible in Washington and Oregon. fn those States. pulp consumes more white fir than lumber does, whilc their combined cut of white fir lumber is only about onefifth that of California. The "white fir problem" is, therefore, more acute in California than elservhere on the \\rest Coast.

Ponderosa pine is necessarily involved in any discussion of the utilization of white fir in California. In much of the Sierra Nevada region the trvo trees grorv side b1' side, and practically all sawmills of any size log and mill a mixture of both species. Trvo large uses, containers and yard lumber, are common to both species. Producers and consumers are continually cornparing the two in one respect or another. The mills, however, remain primarily pine mills, for only in exceptional instances does u'hite fir comprise as much as one-third of the cut. For all these reasons, completely divorcing rvhite fir and ponclerosa pinc is impractical. The mixture of u'oods found in the California Sierra Nevada includes still other species, such as Douglas-fir, incense-cedar, and California red fir3 (Abies magnifica), but at present these are less of a problem than white fir, and they are merely mentioned in passing.

From the very beginning of commercial luml>ering irr California, ponderosa pine has been overcut as comparecl r,vith white fir. Today California has about 75 per cent as much saw-timber in white fir and red fir combined as irr ponderosa pine. But for the 25 years ending in 1944 the cut of white fir never exceeded 3l per cent of the ponderosa pine cut, and averaged only 17 per cent. The exact cut of California red fir during this period is not known, but it is too small to change the picture appreciably.

In the future, large-scale lumbering in California rvill depend much more on r.vhite fir than in the past for tr,vo reasons: (l) There is much less pine to drarv on than 'Maintained at Madison of Wisconsin.

tSeveral species of true fir (as distinguished from Douglas-fir) grow on the West Coast. But this article is concerned orrly with tllose truc 6rs that are sold as commercial white fir in California. By far the greater part of this consists of Abies concolor from the Sierra Nevada and the remainder is practically all Abies grandis from the redwoqd region. "White fir" as used in this article nreans commercial wbite fir.

formerly, because at least 25 billion feet of the best ponderosa pine have been cut since 1900. (2) Timber on old logged-over areas today often contains trvo or three times as large a proportion of white fir as the original stand contained and sometimes consists largely of white fir.

It follows that more thought must be given to the most suitable equipment for sarving it and to the best sarving techniclue if white fir is to contribute its maximum value.

One of the unknowns that complicate the u'hite fir problen-r is the duration of the present sellers' market. Since California normally produces only enough fruit and vegetable shook to meet tu,o-thirds of its ou'n requirements, one large market seems assured for the present at Least. It may, horvever, lte different with vard lumber. Although today any lumber sells itself almost regardless of grade or seasoning, the time may not be far distant rl'hen rvhite fir rvill begin to meet real competition from preferred u'oods or other materials, or both. Experience cluring the depression years of the thirties illustrates rvhat can happen to u'hite fir vvhen buyers are able to pick ancl choose. By 1932, r'vhite fir output had fallen off about seven-eighths from the previous high of 1926. During the same )'ears, ponderosa pine production droppecl only- a little more than one-l.ralf.

In order that u.hite fir ma'r' be in as favorable a position as possible if and when der-nand again slackens, it must be uranufactured as economically and as u'ell as possible, and 'rvhat good qualities it has must be capitalized. This article is concerned only n'ith manufacture. \\-hile therc are possibilities of future chemical utilization, for the prescnt, at least, lumber remains the big outlet for l'hite fir in California.

In the California pine region the typical band mill as lruilt some 25 or 30 years ago u'as designed and equipped for sau'ing for grade. With many of the large ponderosa pine logs, this meant san'ing the Selects frorn all four sides, then san,ing the Shop from all four sides, and finally sarvirrg the Common and Box grades from the central part of the log. In the course of all this, the log was usually turneil again and again on the carriage. While this method makes thc most of the difierent qualities of lumber in the 1og, it is not conducive to maximum speed of production. White fir logs, hou'ever, run nlore largely to Common, arrd prices :rre lou'er than for corresponding lumber grades in pinc. Fast production is, therefore, rnore important tharr in pine,

Future san mill operations ir-r the California pine region u'ill be smaller than those of the past. This trend is already cvident. About trvo-thirds of the mills n'ith a daily capacity in excess of. l00M board feet that rl'ere operating

2O years ago have since cut out. The number of mills of this size remains fairly constant, but the nerv mills average only about one-half as large as the mills that closed. Most of these nen' mills that handle white fir have about 100M daily capacity, and none exceeds 200M. As far as netv construction is concerned, the day of the mill sau'ing more than 200M appears to be done. The size of the ne*'er mills is more in keeping with sustained-yield principles and rvith the size of the timber tracts that remain.

Some significant changes in sa.rving equipment may be noted here and there in the California pine region. T.rvothirds of the pine mills of 100N{ daily capacity or rnore still rely on the headsaw exclusively for breaking don'n the log. This is not surprising since (rvith one exception) trvo-thirds or more of tl-re lumber satved by these mills continues to be pine. A few sarvmills had resarvs 20 years ago, and only a small increase in their use (in sarvmills, not in planing mills or box factories) may be noted. The few gang saws in use are all found in some of the newer mills. This trend to.rvard increased use of gangs and resarvs is logical enough. It probably results largelv from the smaller average size of timber toda,v and from increased cutting of second-choice species, chiefly rvhite fir. It ma1' reasonably be expected to continue.

The question naturally arises : "\\r-hat is the most economical means of converting California rvhite fir into lumber?" Probably ths anslver is not definitelv knon'r.r. There are, however. certain types of mills that promise some advantages over the tvpical California sa.n'mill. The object of this paper is to present sor-ne ideas or.r the subject in order to stimulate thought and discussion.

The comparisons that follou. arc ltased on mill outl>ut per man-dav. Since the size and po\ver of a sau-nrill machine may be fully as important as tl-re design, care \\-as taken to see that the mills in question l'ere fully aclecluatc in both respects. An exact comparisor.r of sau'mill efficiency requires that the mills in question sarv logs of the same size and quality ir-rto lumber of the same sizes. Since mills usually differ rrore or less in these respects, sorne mathematical adjustments are required to put them on a uniform basis. Because of this and other variables, the comparisons should be considered as only approximate.

'Most of the work was done in Washington and Oregon becausc there have recently been numerous ne* developmentJ in lumber manufacture in those States, particularly in the imaller mills. Althougir the timber is quite different f iom that of the California Sierra, it was hoped that some of the nelv develorrrnents woulrl apply to white fir in Caliiornia.

Studies made at mills in Washington, Oregon,a and California indicate that the three following combinations of equipment are about on a par as far as production per man is concerned: (1) the band headsaw and resaw, (2) the band headsarv and American gang, (3) the log gang and resaw. Which is rnost suitable in a given instance tvould depend on the character of the local timber and on the kind of lumber in rvhich the mill proposes to specialize. The output of the headsaw and pony rig combination or of the band headsaw alone appears to be somervhat below the three above combinations rvhen adjustments are made to put all outputs on a uniform size basis.

Output n'ill necessarily vary with the size of the timber, and the proportions ol 1/4, 8/4, and thicker lumber that are made. With.small to medium Washington and Oregon fir logs and typical lumber sizes, mills of the above types have been found to sarv about 100M or somervhat more per day l,ith a mill crew of about 20 men. This includes filer, foreman, rnillrvright, and fireman, but does not include men rvorking at the pond or on the green chain.

If flexibilitv is desirable, as in an operation combining pine and a good proportion of rvhite fir, a band headsar,v is necessary. It rvill permit sayl'ing high-quality pine logs for grade, it u'ill saw any size of lumber that the size of the log allorvs, ancl it u,ill, of corlrse, break dorvn the log into sizes that secondary saws can l-randle.' To get production especially in 4/4 andS/4 sizes, a resa\v or an American gang is necessary in addition to the band headsau'. \\rhichever is chosen should be large enough and u'ell enough powered to do its job adequatelv. The third combination, log gang and resarv, is less flexible and more suitable for logs tl.rat contain little lumber other than Comtnon. Output r,r'ould probably suffer more rvith this combination than n'ith either of the otl-rer tu'o if the logs run too small. It u'ould probably be more suitable to a pure rvhite fir operation than to n.rixed pine and t'hite fir. The log gang and resa\\r might be used for n,hite fir onlr' rvhere almost all the pine has been removed in previous logging, or as part of one. of the ferv very large operations. In the latter case, it might be a separate rnill for rvhich the rvhite fir logs rvould be sorted out or it might be the t'hite fir side of a mill rvith t'ivo or more headsarvs.

A number of companies in Washington and Oregon have found it practical to use small mills in the woods to follor,v up regular logging operations and salvage usable material from small and defective trees and logs. llo rvhat extent

(Continued on Page 34)

Some Factors Affecting The Manufacture Of \fhite Fir Lumber

" (uontinued from Page 33) this practice might rvork rvith rvhite fir in California is not knorvn, but the idea deserves consideration.

In some instances in Washington and Oregon as much as 16M board feet per acre of salvageable material has been found remaining after earlier logging. Several types of small mills have been used, but they all conform to the general practice of sawing the log largely into small cants rvhich pass through remanufacturing plants on their way to the consumer. A truckload of such cants will saw out about trvice as much lumber as a truck loid of the sort of logs that produce them. Small mills of standard design are used to some extent on relogging jobs. Typically these are able to handle logs up to 16 feet long, but may be handicapped in handling large-diameter logs of that length. They are not so readily portable as some other types, a fact that limits their use somervhat.

One type of mill being developed especially for salvage jobs in the u'oods is mounted on large skids for ready portability. It is intended for logs that are too short or too defectivb to manufacture profrtably u'ith standard ecluipment. Logs can be sawed up to 5 feet in diameter but not more than 8 feet or l0 feet in length. Possibly such a mill might be used to reclaim much material from defective butt logs of old, over-mature 'n'hite fir, leaving the better logs to be transported to the mill in their entirety.

Still another type of mill norv coming to the front in Washington and Oregon is a portable mill designed for the rapid sar'ving of 8- and lO-foot logs as small as 8 inches in diameter. A similar mill might possibly prove useful for small n'hite fir or for sarving thinnings from overcroln'ded stands.

It seems quite possible that within the near future the economics of thc situation will justify the construction of a ferv California mills specializing in white fir. In such mills rvhite fir would be the only or at least the chief rvood sarved instead of being merely the tail to the ponderosa pine kite, as is nearly ahvays the case now. These specialty mills rvould be designed to saw the white fir log in the most effrcient rvay. Since white fir would be the main issue rather than a side line, due consideration 'ivould

be given to salving for grade, to the seasoning requirements of the wood, and to the most appropriate uses. One mill might 'rvell cater to the box trade and another to the yard trade, depending on circumstances.

The cupping and checking tendencies of the 'rvood could be minimized by sawing narro\\r rvidths and edge-grain lumber just as far as practical. Such measures would probably serve to get considerably more Select lumber from the fir log than is usually obtained. Suitability of white fir Selects for certain uses in millwork has already been demonstrated, and such uses might be expanded. If production of white fir shop lumber is at all feasible, it would probably be made by gang-sawing 5- and 6-inch cants into door-style rvidths rather than by making rvide random-u'idth plank as in ponderosa pine.

The tn'o chief prospective uses appear to continue to be containers and yard lumber. Nluch white fir lumber has been (and still is) sold green. The objections are too rvell kno'n'n to need repetition. On the other hand, at certain seasons, rvhite fir lumber often dries to a lower point than necessary for containers or yard lumber. This results in a needless amount of seasoning degrade. Keeping the use in mind, the white fir specialty mill would avoid both seasoning extremes just as far as practical. Serious objections to s.hite fir yard lumber could be overcome by seasoning it to a reasonable degree of dryness and by making it full size or possibly even a little oversize.

\\rith attention to such details as the foregoing, the industry can in all probability look foru'ard to a time l,vhen white fir u'ill seli on its or,vn merits instead of being a stepchild of the California pine industry.

Supplement To Stqndcrd Grcding Rules

Portland, Ore., March 31.-Issuance of one-page supplement to their 1947 Standard Grading Rules book lvas announced today by the Western Pine Association.

The supplement, in standard manufactured sizes, shifted White Fir from the "Larch and Douglas Fir" category into the classification with the Western pines, Engelmann spruce, and cedars. The standard for Z' dimension was clarified by the listing of the 1fu" thickness.

The changes were recommended by the association's grading committee and approved at the annual association meeting in San Francisco in February.

Copies may be secured by writing the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.

Estimated Consumption of \(/estern Pine Lumber lor Second Quarter ol 1948

Portland, Ore., March 31.-A report of first:quarter 1948 manufactnre and shipmeirts of Western Pine region lumber and an estimate of probable second quarter consumption rvere released today by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretarymanager of the Western Pine Association.

The report covered ldaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated woods. The statement in full :

"The economic outlook during the first quarter of 1948 was an uncertain one. Election year politics, foreign relations, unfavorable rveather conditions, the sharp break in commodity prices, and serious strikes in the coal, meat packing, and other industries were unfavorable factors. Nevertheless, the $estern Pine industry, in that period, continued to increase lumber output and deliveries. Estimated production ol 1257 million feet was 14 per cent above that of the 1947 first quarter, rvhile shipments of 1408 million rvere up 9 per cent from a year ago.

"As of Nfarch 31, 1948, total regional stocks at the mills are estimated at 1209 million or 225 million greater than those on hand the same date last year. Analysis of the detailed regional inventory figures indicates that stocks of the \Vestern Pines are at hbout the same level as a year ago. The larger inventories of the associated species are the result of the gron'ing demand for seasoned lumber and consequent greater stocks required for air drying.

"I\{ost of the uncertainties of the past three months will continue and may become more aggravated. Any return to government controls could upset predictions made at this time. Horvever, based on all available information it no.iv seems probable that during the second quarter of 1948, shipments (consumption) of lumber by the Western Pine Industry rvill approximate 1800 million feet or about l0 per cent abo'r'e for tl.re sanre 1947 oeriod."

Copies oI Comrnercial Standqrd CSl25-47, Prelcbricated Homes, Now Avcilable

Printed copies of Prefabricated Homes (Second Edition), Commercial Standard CSI25-47, are now available, according to an announcement by the Commodity Standards I)ivision of the National Bureau of Standards. Copies are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C., for ten cents each. A discount of 25 per cent will be allorved on orders for 100 or more copies sent to a single address.

Tlre previous edition, issued in 1945, was exhausted and the standard was revised to bring it in line with current recommendations for building code requirements for nerv dwelling construction.

The pamphlet sets forth minimum requirements. for one-, one-and-a-half, and two-story prefabricated homes. It 'covers requirements for light and ventilation, space access and privacy, structural strength of the various component parts, thermal insulation and condensation control, and requirements for heating, plumbing, and electric wiring. It includes general requirements for materials and workmanship, site erection and assembly of preTabricated units, and protection during transportation and erection.

NLMA Urgas Passage of Gearhart Resolution

Washington, D. C., April 1, 1948. At hearings today before the Senate Committee on Finance, George M. Fuller, vice president, appearing for Richard A. Colgan, Jr., exbcutive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association strongly urged passage of the Gearl-rart Resolution (H.J. Res. 296) r,vhich would set aside proposed Bureau of fnternal Revenue reguiations to extend social security coverage to independent contractors.

Mr. Colgan's statement forcefully pointed out that the proposed regulations of the Bureau of Internal Revenue lvere clearly an attempt by a Government bureau to write legislation, which, he stated, is an undisputed function of Congress vested by the, Constitution. "The lnmber industry looks upon this as a fundamental issue vital to our form of government," he said, "and we urge the Committee to treat it as such."

Turning from constitutional considerations, the lumber spokesman explaineC some of the possible effects on the lumber industry of the proposed regulations. He told the Committee that the services of independent contractors are frequently employed by mills to obtain their supply of logs for lumber manufacture. The proposed Bureau of Internal Revenue interpretation would disrupt this established contractual relationsl-rip by ruling that independent contractors rvere employees of the mill.

To give the Committee a specific example, N{r. Colgan cited the case of one large lumber manufacturer employing a number of independent contractors for logging and sawing. If the proposed regulations of the Bureau of Internal Revenue rvere put into effect, this mill would be forced to immediately cancel its operations with independent contractors. The independent contractors would be thror,vn out of work, u'ould possibly go into bankruptcy, and the mill would revise its orvn operations so as to do all its o.ivn logging and sawing.

"The proposed^ regulation is so unreasonable and unrealistic, rve believe that Congress should not permit it to be put into effect," he concluded.

Georgia Hardwood Changes Name

Augusta, Ga., March 30-Stockholders of Georgia Hardrvood Lumber Co. have voted to change the company name to Georgia-Pacific Plyrvood & Lumber Co.. Owen R. Cheatham, president, announced today.

'

"A change in name lvas considered advisable to reflect more accurately the nature of the company's rapidly expanding business, including the extensive production of several recently acquired West Coast operations," N{r. Cheatham explained. "Purchase in January of control of Washington Veneer Co. at Olympia, Wash., whose three Douglas fir plywood plants have an annual capacity of 275,000,000 feet of plyrvood, and rvhose lumber plant can produce 50,000,000 feet per year, together rvith the company's previous large West Coast production, now constitute a major portion of our total output and sales volume."

The company now olns and operates eight mills in the South, five on the \Vest Coast, four u,'holesale n arehouses and distribution yards in the East, and has affiliated mills throughout the South and on the Pacific Coast, also maintaining offices or exblusive agencies in 51 foreign countries. Executive and general offices 'n'ill be maintained in Augusta, rvith divisional oflrces in Nerv York, llouston, Augusta, and Portlancl.

tVill Hold Two-Day Conference

Portland, Ore., April 2.-Changing relationships betn'een the lumber distributor and the independent lumber producer rvill be up for discussion at a tn'o-day Oregon-Washington San'mill Conference and N{acl-rinery Expositior-r to be held here April 30-N{ay 1.

The conference is being staged by \\/estern Forcst Industries Association 'n'hich serves as a regional voice for independent log and lumber producers, distributors, retnanufacturers and allied interests, in the Western states. These smaller business units of the lumber industry in the West now number several thousand and are accounting for an increasing percentage of the total lumber supply.

The 1948 conference rvill merge into a single event the two highly successful but separate conferences held a year ago in Eugene, Oregon, and Centralia, \\rashington. R. T. Titus is executive secretarv of the assc.rciation.

1947 Lumber Production Highest In 18 Years

Total lumber production in 1947 is estimated at 36,635,000,000 board feet, the highest output since 1929, reports the Lumber Survey Committee in its quarterly report to the Secretary of Commerce. This is an increase of 5 per cent over 1946 and tops the peak war year,1942, by nearly one per cent.

There was continued heavy demand for lumber in the last quarter of. 1947, the Committee stated, but mill and dealer inventories were adequate to meet the demand.

A joint estimate of the Departments of Commerce and Labor indicates that 950,000 new permanent non-farm houssing units may be started in 1948. The Department of Commerce estimates that the consruction industry will require 26.5 billion feet of lumber in 1948, as compared with 24.3 billion Leet in 1947.

A decrease of. 521 million feet in ririll stocks during the fourth quarter was partially offset'by an increase of 366 million feet in retail stocks.

The current quarterly report is the 67th of a consecutive series prepared at the request of the Secretary of Commerce by the Lumber Survey Committee, a non-government agency; it is not an official government publication.

Damage by fire to the A. K. Wilson Lumber Co. yard at Dominguez Junction, Compton, Calif., on April 6, lvas estimated at $40,000. The fire started in the heating system used to dry Redwood lumber. The company rvill abandon the heating plant.

Change of Ownership

A change of ownership of Buffelen Lumber and Manufacturing company, pioneer Tacoma, Wash., plywood, door and millwork firm, through purchase of stock by a group of Tacoma and San Francisco investors, has been announced by J. P. Simpson, vice president and general managef.

New president of the firm is A. E. Post of 'San Francisco. He succeeds Frank C. Neal of Tacoma who is retiring at his orvn request. Mr. Simpson remains as vice president and general manager, rvhile S. C. Pohlman of San Francisco, formerly western manager of Colorado Fuel and fron company, becomes executive vice president.

"All operating policies, including production, sales and distributing methods, will remain generally the same as those which have characterized the long-time successful operation of the firm," Mr. Simpson said.

"Of importance to our 650 employees and to firms u'ith lvhom Buffelen transacts business is the fact that the new ownership will assure continuous successful operation of the company."

Founded in 1913 as a fir door and lumber manufacturing company, Bufielen also has long produced Douglas fir plywood, mahogany plywood, other panel specialties and millwork. It l-ras distributed these quality products nationally for more than a third of a century.

Change of orvnership of the stock ll'as handled by the Bank of California in Tacoma and San Francisco.

Discuss Freight Car Shortage

Means of erasing the freight car shortage rvhich sorely hampered national distribution of West Coast lumber during 1947 were sought in Portland, Oregon, recently when West Coast Lumbermen's Association shippers met with top officials of the Southern Pacific Companl'.

A friendly but bare-knuckled exchange of views boiled down to the hope, expressed by the railroad men, that conditions would be "better" in 1948. Lumbermen accepted this hope 'cautiously, awaiting results of the various service improvements liSted.

H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the Association, warned that production in the Douglas fir region was already up 12 per ,cent over last year and tl.rat increased transportation facilities are imperative.

Association Traffic Manager K. C. Batchelder presented documented evidence to prove that costly and embarrassing delays had resulted from the car shortage. Inability to ship on time, he said, had resulted in order cancellations and hard feelings between shipper and customer. Batchelder estimated that the Douglas fir industry had suffered losses of approximately $9,500,000 during 1947.

A. T. Mercier, president of the Southern Pacific, told the lumbermen that his company had received delivery of 3,998 postwar freight cars by March 1, and that an additional 3,3O2 are expected to go into service by the end of July. Twenty new diesel locomotives, he declared, already are resulting in faster service. Elimination of delays in unloading cars, he said, rvould contribute substantially to more satisfactory transportation.

George T. Gerlinger, chairman of the Association Traffic Committee, presided at the meeting.
