The California Lumber Merchant - April 1952

A Perpetucll Foresl ot Ocrkridge

The idea of a forest that can be logged in patches, ar a stable level, forever, would have sounded suange to the lumberman of a generation ago.

But at Oakridge, Pope & Talbot and the Forest Service have begun development of such a forest. Here, logging has been balanced against the annual rate of growth so that the same volume of mature timber may be harvested year aftet year, century after century.

This concept of a lasting forest is an important advance in the field of conservation. It also carries significant advantages of fire prevention, prorecrion of wild life, and improved recreational facilities.

For our customefs, a pefmanent forest means a permanent mill-and a permanenr source of quality timber.

"I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American; and I intend to perform the duties incumbent upon me in that character to the end of my career. I mean to do this with absolute disregard of personal consequences. What are the personal consesequences? What is the individual man, with all the good or evil that will betide him, in comparison with the good or evil which may befall a great country, and in the midst of great transactions which concern that country's fate ? Let the consequences be what they will, I am careless. No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer, or if he fall in defense of the liberties and constitution of his country."-Daniel Webster.

cation on this earth, and that it rests with himself to find it. Do not believe those who too lightly say-'Nothing succeeds like success.' Effort, gentlemen, honest, manful, humble effort, succeeds by its reflected action, especially in youth, better than success, which indeed, too easily and too early gained not seldom serves, like winning the first throw of the dice, to blind and stupefy. Get knowledgeall you can; and the more you get the more you breathe upon its nearer heights their invigorating air and enjoy the widening views, the more you will know and feel how small is the elevation you have reached in comparison with the immeasurable altitudes that yet remain unscaled." ***

(The following is

"no,i"...*J.rpt

from a Daniel Webster speech not so well known as the one above, but tremendously impressive.)

"We have a great, popular, constitutional government, guarded by l'aw and by judicature, and, defended by the whole affections of the people. No monarchial throne presses these states together. No iron chain of military power encircles them. They live and stand upon a goverr.rment popular in its form, representative in its character, founded upon principles of equality, and so constructedwe hope-as to live forever. In all its history it has been beneficent. It has trodden down no man's liberty. It has crushed no state. Its daily respiration is liberty and patriotism. Its youthful veins are full of enterprise, courage, and honorable love of glory and renown."

"The most precious 0"1"."rr"" that a nation can have is the individual initiative of those who make up its life. Aspiration, initiative-achievement. These are the steps by whch man rises from obscurity, and often poverty, to renown and usefulnss5."-Qselge Matthew Adams.

"Every experience * -l"r"lorl because it relates us to the Infinite. The wells of adversity, filled with tears, become great living springs, powerful and recuperative, if as we go through the valley we know how to use those glimpses of the Infinite. We are not lifting ourselves by our own bootstraps. We have the power of the Infinite as our own."

In these days when the word "billion" with regard to government spending has become as common as pig-tracks around an East Texas schoolhouse, the facts I am about to relate seem almost unbelievable, even taking into consideration the size and consequence of the country then and now' * ,< ,<

There lives and writes in this country today a once famous educator named Dr. Frank lfarmon Carver. who is one of our most distinguished American history sharps. Dr. Carver evidently makes it his business to dig into American history and find facts and figures little known to most folks; things that are different and unique in themselves, and which he makes the more so by the quality of his presentation. Dr. Carver writes like he talks, and he is a most interesting and entertaining talker.

I always make it my business to read anything I see printed that has his name attached, and have added frequently to my store of historical lore by so doing. So, the other day when I saw Dr. Carver's name signed to a small article in the Los Angeles Times, I stopped right there and went to reading. And right then I got my money's worth in time and interest. For here is what the good history sharp had to say r * ,k *

He was writing about two Americans of the early days, men all of us place high on our list of great Americans, Thomas Je.fferson and Alexander Hamilton. And the figures and facts he was presenting he got-so he promptly admitted-from an Englishman named Francis M. Hirst, which Britisher wrote a biography of Jefferson. The short of the article is, he told how much money it took to run the United States government back in Hamilton's and Jefferson's days. What awful spendthrifts those early great American leaders were ! All of us have read, no doubt,

San Francisco Lumbermen's Club Changes Name to San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9

As the result of a vote by the directors of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club, the name has been changed to San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9. The following notice rvas mailed by the Club to members under date of April 4:

"Since the reorganization of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club in September 1945, there has been a question among many members whether or not our club should be called 'San Fran,cisco Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9' or the aforementioned.

"fn view of the fact that the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, of which we are a charter member. now has over 100 active clubs throughout the United States and Canada with over 10,000 paid up active members, and continued forward progress assured, your Board of Directors have voted to change the name of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club sponsored by Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9 to 'San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club No.9.' This action has been taken so as to give our club closer identity with the national order, an Industrial Fraternity unselfishly working for the cause of lumber and the lumber industry.

"In changing the name to 'San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9,' it does in no way change the present status of our club locally or internationally. This will be a change in name only. We are, have been and still will be governed by the International Concatenated C)rder of Hoo-Hoo by-laws.

"A Concat has been arranged for the opening evening of the Lumber Merchants of Northern California annual convention April 23, 7952, Palace Hotel, San Francisco. A member of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club who is not a paid up member in the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is termed as an 'associate member' and is not eligible to vote or hold office. If you, or if you knorv anyone, or have employees wishing to become a member of Hoo-Hoo, and eligible, for your convenience, there are application and reinstatement blanks enclosed."

The regrrlation supersedes the General Ceiling price Regrrlation (GCPR) for the products covered. The nerv ceilir-rgs are approxirnately at the same levels as current ceiiings n.hich tvere frozen on January 26, 195I, by the GCPR.

The regulation n'as issued to provide the industry n.ith equitable ceilings, spelled out in detail for the maximum convenience of the industry, and consistent with the require_ ments of the Defense Production Act.

Separate dollars-and-cents ceiling price regulations are plarrned by OPS for fir'e other hardu.ood regions, as follorvs: South Cer-rtral-N[issouri, Kansas, .lvestern Tennessee, southn'est Kentucky, and the extreme southern part of Illinois.

North Cer-rtral-Indiana, Ohio, Iorva, Nebraska, South Dakota and parts of Illinois and Kentucky.

Appalachian-West Virginia and parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and l\{aryland.

Northeastern-Ner.v It ngland, Neu, York, I,ennsylvania, Neu' Jersey, Delau'are, and parts of Nfaryland.

Northern-N{ichigan, Nlinnesota and Wisconsin.

The Sorrthern hardrn.ood region is the major harch.r'ood producing area. In 1947 approximately 3,200,000,000 board feet of hardl'ood \vas crlt in the area, or 43 per cent of the total of 7,395,000,000 board feet of hardu'ood lumber cut east of the Rocky Nlountain States. The area produces 95 per cent of the yellon'cypress cut in the country.

Base ceiling prices are spelled out for the r.arious standard grades and rough, air-dried and green lumber, f.o.b. point of origin, per i,000 board feet. Differentials are provided to cover special rvidths and lengths, mixed carload shipments, shipments in straight or mixed cars of the higher gracles, kiln-drying, resavl'ing, surfacing, stenciling, bundling, special loading, anti-stain treatment, and other items.

Four price zones are established, based on freight rates to Chicago, I11., and Scranton, Penn. The base ceiling prices are f.o.b. ceilings in Zone 1. To these prices are added $1, $2 and $3 for Zones 2, 3 and 4 respectively, from r,vhich the freight rates to the major northern consuming centers are progressively lo'rver. In this u'ay the regulation maintains

approximately the price differentials that normalll' exist among the respective zones, reflecting th relative savings in freight.charges to major northern consuming markets.

Follon,ing are the base ceiling prices for No. 1 Common rough lumber, I inch thick, for the various species conmonly cut, with the prices shown respectively for air-dried and green:

Tough ash, $110, 9110; cabinet ash, 9100, 9100; bassrvood, $125, $94; beach, 9100, $60; birch, $130, 978; cherry, g150, $90; cotton'rvood, $85, $51 ;yellow cypress (a11 cypress except tideu,ater red cypress), $105, $63; soft elm, $80, $,l8; hard elm, $95, $57;black gum, plain, $110, $66;black gum quartered, $125, $75; red gum, plain, 9150, $90; red gum, qnartered, $165, $99; red gum, figured, 9180, 9108; sap gnm, plain, $120, $72; sap gum quartered, 9125, 975; hackberry, $90. $68; hickory, $95, $57; locust, 980, 948.

Ceilings are spelled out for dunnage delivered to Atlantic ancl Gulf ports, for rough tie siding, construction ltoards of random lengths, and residue lumber.

Provision is made for application to OpS to establish ceilings for lumller n'ith special u.orkings, grades. sizes ancl services not otherrvise covered in the regulation.

Sellers are authorized to add commissions paid for sales through commission men to their ceilings, ltut in no event may the total selling price, including the cor.nnrission, exceed the f.o.b. ceiling plus 4 per cent.

Mills and concentration yards may make limitecl local retail-type.sales at prices up to 15 per cent higher than the otherrvise established ceilings.

Delivery costs, determined in a specified manner, may be added to f.o.b. ceilings for sales made on a delir.ered basis.

Sure CEDAR SHINGLES run Gut sheat$ng costs in half! I I I

You may be paying more than you think, for "inexpensive" roofng. Don't fail to figure the cost of sheathing when estimating roofing expense. Certigrade cedar shingles, because of their great strength and rigidity, require only half the sheathing that you must use on ordinary roofing.

Yes, spaced sheathing costs about half as much as solid sheathing, and it also costs much Iess to apply! You can count on saving about $200 on sheathing and its application when you roof the

typical 1952 house with cedar shingles. Normally, you will find that this saving more than makes up for the difference in cost of genuine cedar over substitute roofing.

Sharpen your pencil. Figure it out for yourself. Figure the comparative costs of cedar shingles with spaced sheathing as against substitute roofing with solid sheathing. We'II be glad to send you a handy estimating form which includes all of the cost factors in building a new roof.

\Vest Coast Millmen Meet at Portland

Hillman Lueddemann Re-elected President

Good news for retail lnmbermen came from the 41st annual stockholders meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association at Portland, Oregon, March 27.

\\rest Coast millmen voted unanimously to continue their national advertising and promotion and dealer-aid programs for 7952. Continued will be the heavy campaign of fullcolor advertising in leading national magazines featuring retail lumbermen. Funds rvere increased to supply the demand for full-color literature published by the association which has become so popular that over 1,800,000 pieces \\'ere requested last year.

Re-elected as president of the powerful lumber trade group for another year was Hillman Lueddemann, Portland, general manager and vice president of Pope & Talbot, Inc. Only new face in the officer group is W. A. Culkin, Vancouver, Stebco, Inc., who becomes treasurer. Re-elected as vice presidents were : Col. W. B. Greeley, Seattle; G. E. Karlen, Tacoma, Eatonville Lumber Co.; and Judd Greenman, Vernonia, Oregon-American Lumber Corp. Named again u'ere : H. V. Simpson,. executive vice president and Harris E. Smith, secretary.

Castle, Tillamook, Oregon Coast Lumber Mills; B. \\r. Runkel, Longview, The Long-Bell Lumber Company; and Guy llaynes, Carlton, L H L Lumber Corp.

I-ueddemann, in his annual message, urged millmen to step up their conservation practices in the forest, to improve utilization, to maintain integrity of grades, to cooperate fully with retailers and distributors, to ship promptly, to maintain good manufacturing standards, and keep up the hard-hitting advertising and promotion campaign.

NIillmen heard a leading Pacific Coast banker, E. C. Sammons, president of the large United States National Bank of Portland, tell of ample mortgage money to finance almost as many homes and commercial structures as were built last year'. He said there was plenty of money in private banking hands, in insurance companies' funds, and building and loan associations to build at least 800,000 nerv homes and more if needed. He rvarned home builders against pricing themselves out of the market.

James K. Knudson, defense transport administrator and Interstate Commerce Commissioner, told 250 West Coast lumbermen at their annual banquet, the freight car supply shortage was a thing of the past. He said railroads and shippers alike had ironed out their problems, more ca:-s rvere being built, steel u'as loosening up for more new cars, turn-around and loading times had been cut. The outlook he painted u'as cheerful.

Recognition of Forestry as High School Course Asked bv RRCC

Recognition of forestry as a "course commonly taught in the high schools" of the state has been requested in a petition to the state board of education by the Redwood Region Conservation Council.

The purpose of the move is to make it possible to obtain qualified teachers in forestry, explained E. T. F. Wohlenberg, president of the RRCC.

Likewise the council requested that the state designate forestry as a major subject in the requirements for general secondary credentials.

"We have aided materially in the establishment of forestry courses at two schools in the Redwood Region," Wohlenberg said, "but unless the state can make it possible for professional men trained in forestry to obtain the necessary credits in education to allow them to hold their jobs as teachers, it may make it difficult to continue these courses.

"The problem is that, to the best of our knowledge, there are no professional foresters in our region who are also qualified as high school instructors. We believe that this type of instruction requires a fundamental understanding of the technical and practical phases of our forest industries rvhich most general secondary teachers would not be expected to know."

Just 70 years ago, 1882 to be exact, a young fellow named W. E. Cooper, knor.l'n to his many lumbermen friends as Bill, went to rvork in the logging camps of Minnesota.

After two years of logging, he journeyed to Kansas City, Missouri, where he got himself a job selling lumber for the Central Coal & Coke Co., and called on the retail lumber trade in the Middlewest for a number of years. At that time, another young' man, T. W. Roseborough, u'as selling lumber for the Missouri Lumber, Land & Mining Co. They got their heads together and finally decided that they would like to get in the manufacturing end of the business.

"Rosie," as Bill calls him, located some pine timber in Arkansas, and all they needed was some money to finance the deal. So Bill went to work to round up the finances, and although he met with reverses, he got together the necessary capital. They formed a company, bought the timber, built a sarvmill, and in 1905 the Caddo River Lumber Company was born. Mr. Roseborough was president of the company, and W. E. (Bi11) Cooper \e'as vice president and sales managef.

The Caddo River Lumber Company prosperecl, they bought more timber and built two more sawmills in Arkansas. It kept Bill busy selling the output of three sau'mills. They continued to operate in Arkansas until 1938 n,hen they cut out their last logs.

During the 33 years Caddo River was operating they shipped lumber throughout the Middlewest, South and East. It has been said that Bill Cooper knows more lumbermen personally than any other lumber-

Sf/. E. Cooper, Pioneer Lumherman

man in the United States. Every year, it was his custom to spend a couple of months calling on the company's .customers and the retail lumber trade, starting in Texas and going as far east as Berwick, Maine, and Hyannis on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He was also a familiar figure at retail lumber conventions in those days.

Bill Cooper retired in 1935 and came to l-os Angeles where he, Mrs. Cooper and their son, Jack, reside.

In the meantime, Mr. Roseborough had located some timber in Oregon, so Bill joined up 'vvith him again and they organized the Roseboro Lumber Company with other partners who had been associated with them for years, and built a new modern sawmill at Springfield, Oregon. Mr. Roseborough was president of the new company, and Bill Cooper was vice president. A few years ago they sold out their interests to their partners.

Jack Cooper, Bill's son, rnho used to represent the Caddo River Lumber Company in the Kansas Citl' territory, now works in the same capacity for Roseboro Lumber Company in Southern California. Jack took time to serve four years l'ith the Army in \\rorld War II and saw active service in Italy, France ancl Germany.

Bill Cooper has been a member of Hoo-Hoo for many years, his Hoo-Hoo number is 3884. There are only about ten members in the Order at the present time that have a lower membership number.

Mysterious Damage to Young Redwoods Mcy Be Caused by Bears

The mysterious damage to young redn ood trees, generally attributed to bears, is being probed in a joint study project by the u'ildlife management department of Humboldt State College, Hammond Lumber Company and the California Redrvood Association, the Association announced recently.

Under the direction of Dr. Fred A. Glover. head of the department of wildlife management, the project has been started on the propertv of the Hammond Lumber Company n'here the bulk of the damage has been discovered thus far.

The purpose of the project is to determine l.hat animals are stripping the bark from the r-oung trees, discover the extent of the damage ar"rd study possible means of control.

Although the damage has been generally believed to have been caused by bears, the Association indicated that other oossibilities .s.ould be studied as well.

"At this point, it is impossible to put the finger on any species of animal and say definitely that it is causing the damage," the Association said.

The Lcrw oI Little Boys

A year or so ago the Minneapolis Tribune propounded what is called the Law of Diminishing Enthusiasms in Little Boys.

This law concerns itself with little boys who come to you in November and with great enthusiasm offer for a modest sum to keep your sidewalks clear of snow all winter. That enthusiasm diminishes swiftlv and the sidewalks do not get cleared.

Those same little boys will offer to mow the lawn and weed the garden all summer, also for a modest sum. It may be accepted that before July comes the little boys will become victi:ms of the Law of Diminishing Enthusiasms in Little Boys and the lawns will not get cut and the gardens will not be weeded.

Some older people in business organizations also seem to be subject to the same law.-(From the Nashua Cavalier.)

Chcrrles E. Wilson on Americc

Charles E. Wilson, President of General Motors, had the following to say about a year ago:

"The important facts about America are these: First, our present system is the best that has ever been devised in history. Second, it has an inherent ability to improve itself, and, in fact, is constantly improving. And, third; it is built on the desirability of progress and improvement. Therefore, to argue that we should scrap our system because it isn't already perfect, makes no sense.

"f look upon America today as I look upon a 1951 car. They have both come a long way from their early beginnings. Both can stand improvement. But each of them is far and away the best thing of its kind that has been produced to date. God willing, I hope to do my share toward building still better motorcars; and, as one in millions, to do my part toward creating a better country."

A Friend

A friend is like an old song, Grown sweeter with the years, A friend is one who shares our joys, And wipes away our tears.

A friend will look for goodness, In everything we do, A friend is one who knows our faults, Yet finds our virtues. too.

A friend will share a crust of bread, Or help to lift a load, Happy, happy we who find, Good friends along the road.

Books

-(Chicago Tribune.)

Books-are a guide to youth, an entertainment for age. They support us under solitude, and keep us from being a burden to ourselves. They help us to forget the crossness of men and things; compose our nerves and our passions, and lay our disappointment asleep.-Anon.

Buddha Scrid:

Delusions, errors, and lies are like some huge, gaudy vessels, the rafters of which are rotten and worm-eaten, and those who embark in them are sure to be shiowrecked.

Good cnd Bad Luck

Good luck is the gayest of all gay girls, Long in one place she will not stay; Back from your brow she strokes the curls, Kisses you quick, and fies away.

But Madame Bad Luck soberly comes, And stays-no fancy has she for flitting; Snatches of true-l'ove songs she hums, And sits by your bed, and brings her knitting.

In Memory ol Harry W. McLeod

SeSO[be!; That the Board of Directors of this corporation records with deepest sorrow the death on December 27th last of their fellow Director, Harry W. Mcleod, vice president and manager of the Southern Division of this corporation.

His conne.ction with our Company has been continuous since 1903, and with our Southern California Division since 1905. There he achieved for our Company, through innate business ability and indomitable will, an outstanding leadership in the field of retail and wholesale distribution of lumber and allied materials in that area, and perhaps in the entire nation.

His term of management spanned boom and depression. His course knerv no variance : he labored only for the Company's lvelfare, sacrificing much and seeking but little in his personal life. When affliction visited his home, his fortitude and strength of character carried him on in the Company's work without abatement; and during the extended years of this sorrow, climaxed the last months by intense physical suffering on his orvn part, he was never knorvn to complain.

He stood high in the respect accorded him by the business community, tl.re industry, and the personnel of the Company which he served. His friends were legion. We give him this tribute : he was a Man.

Resolution passed by Board of Directors, Hammond Lumber Company, March 4, 1952.

\farm Springs Redwood Co. Ready to Operate lts Predryer

Manufacturers of redwood lumber will be interestcd in the news that Warm Springs Redwood Co. of Willits, Calif., will complete early in April a predryer rvith a capacity of 40O,COC feet at Willits. It is the expectation of this company that the predrl'g1 r.vill reduce their drying yard inventory by shortening the period of drying their lumber, and at the same time get rid of quite a bit of degrade such as endcheck, sticker stain, etc., which normally develops when the lumber is left in the drying yard for several months.

In speaking of the predryer recently Charles F. Wilsor-r, president of \\/arm Springs Redrvood Co., said: "The prcdryer is a u'ooclen building equippcd rvith far.rs, steam coils, and hot u'atcr coils. We intencl to use the hot lvater cor.rdensate from our dry kilns to produce some heat in the predryer, u'hich n'ili be supplemented as r-reeded lty di:ect steam lines from our ltoiler. It is contemplatecl that durini; the summer there rvill be very little use of steam in tirc preclryer, but in the 'w'inter time u'e u'ill probably havc to rurl stcaln alnrost continuously.

"\\re hope that lve rvill be able to take medium and liiqht stock straight fron.r the saur, and put it in the preclryer in which rve rvi1l maintain a maximum temperature of 110 degrees. We u'ill leave this lumber in the predrl'er until the moisture content is somen'here betvi'een 30 and 50 per cent, ar-rd then will take it out and put it into the dry kilns for the final drying."

This company purcl-rased a remanufacturing plant in Willits July 1, 1951, and immediately began constructiorr

of dry kilns n'ith capacity of 200,000 feet, and the predryer. The dry kilns were completed late in February, and the first charge came out March 10.

llr. \\rilson concluded by saying: "At the present time rve have a rough mill u'here 'lr'e break do'wn cants and resant- 2" lrrmber. This is graded and sorted and either goes to the dry yard or the planing mill. At the present tirne \\'e are also building a Bevel Siding Department, u'hich n'e are expecting to have in operation by I\{ay 1."

The latest developments in kiln and lumber handling facilities have been installed in connection with the nerv manufacturing plant of Simpson Logging Co., Arcata, California.

The battery of kilns consists of five Moore Cross-Circulation double track double-ended units, each 34 feet u-ide. These kilns are provided with large diameter fans, steel finned pipe, automatic ventilator and spray control, also 2-end heat control and auxiliary ventilators for handling high moisture content Redwood lumber. Interesting and practical features of these modern kilns are-

l. Two-speed moto.rs with automatic fan reversal are employed. These permit the operator to predetermine the time of reversal and remove the human element of error in reversing the fans manually at definite intervals. The trvospeed motors permit the use of the "high," or fast speed, when high circulation rate is required and then change to a lower circulation rate, or lower speed, after the stock has been partially dried. This saves electric power u'ithout change in drying time.

2. Special rvaterproof interior kiln lights have iteen installed to facilitate the loading and unloading of the kilns at any tirre during the day or night.

3. The dry kiln rails have been placed on concrete ribbons to insure a permanent and straight rolling surface for the kiln trucks.

The dry kiln buildings are constructed of three layers of 2x6 T &G Redwood for both side walls and roof rvith welded steel trrlsses and steel center posts. These support the overhead kiln equiDment and roof.

Installs Moore Dty Kilns

A large dry shed has been erected ot'er the drv storage tracks and unloading area to protect the dry lumber from the weather.

Steam at a pressure of 10-15 p.s.i. is produced by an automatic oil fired water tube boiler. The use of lorv pressure steam is ideal for final conditioning of the lumber.

Lumber is automatically stacked for these kilns by neans of a special stacker which properly positions each board as to length prior to the full course being moved onto the stacking lift. The stacker, as well as the other lumber handling equipment, was designed and installed by Moore Dry Kiln Company of North Portland, Oregon.

This package stacker is equipped with the usual side feed floor chains upon which green solid units are placed by carrier or fork lift and these units are then moved sidervise by motor driven chains until the solid units are in the. prop'er position for the Moore breakdorvn hoist to lift and tilt the lumber onto the stacking table. This hoist has been manufactured so that the center two columns handle 6 and 8 ft. stock,'ivhile the center 4 columns handle 10, 12 and 14 foot stock, and all six columns handle 16, 18 and 2O ft. stock.

A special overhead sliding control panel and 2 removable skids on the stacking table allow the stacker operator to u'ork directly behind the hoist when handling the short lengths of lumber and at the end of the hoist u-hen handling the longer lengths of lumber.

Lumber from the hoist is deposited one course at a time on a set of carnel back chains on the stacking table, u'here (Continued on Page 58)

FHA Receiving Applications for De(ense Housing in Victorville Area

The Federal Housing Administration office at 112 West 9th Street, Los Angeles, California, began receiving applications from builders to construct programmed defense housing in the Victorville, California critical defense housing area on April 7, 1952, it rvas announced by John E. McGovern, FHA district director. Builders' applications n'ill be received through Aprll25, 1952.

The program of 130 housing units to be built in the Victorville, California area was announced recently by the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Washington. All of the programmed housing is intended for in-migrant defense workers (or military and civilian personnel) of George Air Force Base, the designated defense establishment in the area.

The announcement by FHA that it is ready to receive applications from builders means that the program can now get started, Mr. McGovern said. Construction of housing under this program rvill be assisted by the aids provided in the Defense Housing and Community Facilities and Services Act. These include suspension of real estate credit restrictions and a special type of FHA mortgage insurance under Title IX of the National Housing Act.

Application Forms may be secured from the Federal Hotrsing Adr.ninistration offices at ll2 W. 9th Street, Los Angeles, California, or 480-5th Street, San Bernardino, California.

it passes betrveen two vertical lumber eveners that move the various lengths of boards to the proper position just prior to the lumber passing onto the stacking hoist. The Iumber eveners are adjustable for each length segregation and eliminates the manual operation of positioning each board. After the individual boards have been positioned by the eveners, a standard stacking mechanism cletermines the proper number of boards per course and moves the course onto the stacking hoist.

An automatic sticker placer rvith higl-r sticker magazine holding sufficient stickers for approximately 7f packages of lumber then lays the stickers Lretween each course of lumber, insuring proper alignment and spacing. Each sticker magazine or pocket can be individually placed in operation or locked out of operation, depending on the lengths Lreing handled.

Carrier blocks from the incoming solid packages are carried underneath the stacking table by rubber belts and deposited on tl-re outgoing side feed floor chains to receive the stickered packages from the vertical hoist.

The stacking crew consists of three men 's'ho handle the stacking mechanism, filling the sticker ,pockets, handling of bunks if required and general clean-up. This 3-man crew rvill stack from 8O M/ to 100 M/ of lumber in eight hours, depending on the length and thickness of stock going over the machine.

After the lumber has been seasoned in the kiln, the clry stickered packages are transported by a fork lift truck a short distance to the end feed chains leading to the dry sorter breakdown hoist. A 4-column Moore tilting hoist feeds the lumber onto the sorting chain where the lumber can be pulled to any desired segregation. Tr.vo NIoore E,lectric Swedes remove the boards designated by the graders to the trim saw and rip sar"'.

N{en working along tl-re sorting chain pull the lumber into solid dry packages 'r,'v'hich enables the bridge crane to handle packages to the storage area, loading area, or the remanufacturing area.

A unique and versatile remanufacturing area is located to the south of the main dry shed but under adjacent roof so that all lumber to or from the area can be handlecl by the overhead bridge crane through a series of Moore pre-
