Will Manufacture Hardwood Lumber from Valley Oak

An interesting article, "Invention I-eads to Production of Hardwood from Valley Oak," appeared in the March 8 edition of The Sacramenfo IJnion, Sacramento, Calif.

Following are excerpts from the article:

"The inventor, Earl L. Reedy, has obtarned a U.S. patent on a process for curing the common Valle-v Oak so it will not shrink or buckle.

"The Valley Oak, of which there is an estimated 3(X),m0,(m board feet in Sacramento Valley alone, has been detested by ranchers along the river as a valueless obstruction to agriculture. They have had to spend hundreds of dollars an acr€, in some cases, to clear the trees.

"Several attempts made during the past 30 years to find a curing process have failed, Reedy said. The stubborn timber could not even be sold for firewood because its high moisture content made it hard to burn. Nevertheless, in 1939, u'hile in research to learn new uses for timber refuse, Re.dy decided to probe for a successful process. Four years liater he had the answer.

"Samples of cured wood were sent to the U.S. Forest Products I-aboratory in Madison, Wis., for exhaustive tests. The laboratory had heard of curing processes for Valley Oak before, too. It seemed like an eternity to Reedy bcfore U.S. experts said: 'You've got it.'

"A group of Sacramentans have incorporated Pacific Coast Hardwood Company to exploit the process. A mill has becn

Wm. Allen White, The "Sage of Emporia," said shortly before his death, that "America is waiting for another humble, kindly, gentle leader like Lincoln." ***

Does this nation still wait for the fulfillment of that prophecy? Is the bow of Ulysses still unbent? Or does this quiet, work-sweated man in the White House, promise to fill the bill? :r * *

Is he humble? He came from tlre ranks of the common people, and in his whole manner of living, of acting,.of speaking, and of writing since that fateful day on last November fourth when he was elevated to the world's highest office, there has appeared deep humility. If there is one snobbish hair in his head or fiber in his body, it has not shown itself. He remains unswervingly true to those dreams and enthusiasms that filled his heart on that great 9"Y' ***

Is he kindly? Let us paraphrase rhe words of a poet who said: "His cause I plead, plead it in heart and mind" a fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind." It looks from where we sit as though this fine fellow, Ike, is not only kind, but is, as. the poet puts it, "wondrous kind.' It shows in his every look, in his every act, in his generous hand-shake,- in his surrendering smile. ***

Is he gentle? To claim that a man whose life has been given over to war and the arts of war is gentle, might seem at first thought to be a paradox. But is it? Is there any man or wonuln who has watched this new President of ours in the least intelligent fashion who will deny that he is a gentleman? And what, pray, does that word mean? On\r one thing, in reality. It means a gentle man; gentle in the finest, truest meaning of the word. He is a gentle husband, a gentle father, a gentle grandpa and a gentle friend to all who know him well enough to lay claim to his friendship. ***

' According to history, Tzu-lu, faithful disciple, once asked his master, Confucius: "What makes a gentleman?" And the great philosopher replied: "A gentleman has nine aims; to see clearly; to understand what he hears; to be warm in manner; dignified in bearing; faithful in speech; keen at work; to ask when in doubt; in anger to thiirk of difEculties; and in sight of gain, to think of right." According to the measuring stick of Confucius, wouldn't you say that Ike was in every way, a gentleman?

Yes, if William Allen White wcre in a poaition to bcar witness at this moment, there is abundant reason to bclieve that he would put the stamp of bis highcst approvd on Prcsident Ike, and declarc him to ncaaurc up fully in h '-ility, kindliness and gentlencs$ and 6t to follow in thc footsteps of Lincoln.

Yes, Williarn Allen, we be6evc that no longer does thc famous bow of [Ilysses wait in vain for a strong arm that can bend it; we are convinccd that Ike Eisenhowcr ic 6t for the Herculean task that confronts hirn, and tbat witb the help of God and his fellow Americans he will lead us "out of the Land of Egypt, and out of the housc of bondage"'

That man is the greatest patriot who'has thc greatest fear that something wrong will bappen to his country. Our President is such a pa.triot All thc facultics of his mind and all the energies of his body are consecrated today to the service of his country, tbat hc may lead it out of these difficult situations and conditions. Beyond the safety and future of this lan4 he has no thoughtg no ambitions.

ft is our opinion, and we say it proudly, that we have in the White House today tte makings of a very great President. He has the biggest job on hb hands that cver faced an incoming chief executive. Did we say job? \ilc meant JOBS. Scores of vital oncs ttat must be mct and handled; proble"'s so tragic in their implications that any one of them might discourage .a less courageous Ean. All the "mess" that the New Deal has been creating and pyramiding for twenty yeiars, together witt other giant problems cast up by the volcanos of a war-torn world, are facing Ike. ***

The always present and ready legion of Doubting Thomases raise their raucous voices to question whetter Ike can cut the mustard. They point out the innumerable high hills that have to be climbed; the countless hurdlcs that beset his path; the apparcntly insurmooola[fu rlifFculties that threaten him. They highligbt thc history of the past several years to demonstrate that tte various stalemates defy removal

These are the people who wish Ikc well and hope for his success but fail to understand how all this can bc accomplished. They are what someone caUcd "mu1;nmpn"'

And then, of cqurse, there are the obstructionists, who range all the way through our homegrown Communists, our fellow travelers, our parlor pinks, our creeping socialists, our' mealy-mouthed apologists for red leanings, and ending up with our army of blithering idiots whose slogan is: "I like Senator McCarthy's aims but I don't like his methods." Those last are the boys who would kill skunks with atomized perfume.

All those and various other groups here at home make up the army that marches under the banner nui!sd-"11 can't be done." But let them, and all the others who live in this land, remember THIS: Al1 such doubts and forebodings are meant for men of ordinary mold; NOT for great men. The dark clouds that hover over the United States today could frighten and have frightened millions of men of no great capacity. But if Ike is just half the man we believe him to be, they only add to his firm resolve to get the job done. That's what it means to be great. ***

There was once a fellow named Samson. He didn't wait when the going got rough for something easier to come along. He didn't wait until they got a gun for him. He grabbed a big hunk of bone, did this great hunk of a man, and rushing in he beat the living hell out of the army of armed men that opposed him. Metal shields, metal helmets and heavy-boned heads were alike cracked under his onslaught, and the field of battle was strewn with the bodies of those who didn't think he could do ii. ***

There was another guy by the name of Hercules. When trouble came in massed array, he didn't wait for the atom bomb to be perfected. He- got himself a club, and the things he did with that weapon and his mighty right arm, live in history. Great men don't wait for things to happen; they make things happen; they don't wait for better opportunities and better odds; they make their own. That,s the {lifference between tyr f"l and mediocre men.

If Ike is less of a man than we think and believe, then he is in for some tough times. But if he is a truly great manand brother, you'd better pray that he is-then he will accomplish things not subject to measurement or weight, as gauged and understood by men of lesser stature. If he IS that "humble, kindly, gentle leader like Lincoln," that William Allen White looked forward to, then we can

Let every good American get thc idca right in the front of his head that we have a great man and 1f,s nrekings_of a great President sitting in the White House right now, and let hi'n consecrate. himself, with dl thc power, and ability, and courage that in him lics to thc mighty job of helping lke. Last Fdl 33 rnilli6p Americans voted that "We like Ike." Liking isn't enough. That good man needs the help of every one of us, of every tweby-four in our lumber pile, and n. l"* ACTIVE.supporL

The most important job ttat every American crn do is to line the watchtower to sec that the army of Reds niho infest this land in such horrible numbers right now, get no opportunity to do a lot of back-stabbing while the good fight goes on. The biggest job that Ike has beforc him, bigger than Korea or the Russian thrcat abroa4 is the Communist threat here at home; and any man who doubts it should have his skull trephined to givc his brains room to grow. The big battlc is here, against tte entrenched forces of subversion, and that is where the home folks can do the fighting, backing up lke, and his hencbmcn. That's your job and mine, bt:Y, and don't you doubt it.

These Vagabond Rlitorids, in e:pressing bigh opinion of our President need not, as do some Johnny-come-latelys, have to change its position since pre-election day. In this column, March lst, 1951, we said: "\i/hen it comes right down to politics, I'm for Generd Ike for our ncrt Prcaident. Both political parties now try to claim him, but I'd be for him no matter what badge he was wearing. He would still be a great American, hones! sound, and not at all given to the folderol of the New Dcal or the Fair Deal either. He is the only American in high position who has openly castigated the promoters of the weffare state in the last two years, and gotten away witt it without being publicly chastised. He said that a Libcrd.is a 'nan in Washington who wants to play Almight5r with our money. He said. in a public uttcrancc that hc dcplores the drift away from our earlier simplicity of life, and.loes of respect for mere thrift and indepcndence; he deplored reward without effort in our preient way of life, and tbought harvests without planting are all wrong. He is one of God's rarest and noblest works€n honest man. So I'm for fke !"

Rockne's Famous Jim Thorpe Story

Knute Rockne delighted to tell a story about himself and the great Indian player, Jim Thorpe, which, regardless of all others, seems to me the best football story I ever heard.

After they were both out of college they met one fall on opposite sides in a great all-star football game, played on that great field in Chicago, and attended by a capacity crowd. of fans. Rockne said that before the game started Jim Thorpe came to him, and pointing to the great mass of people in the stands, said in his blunt Indian fashion:

"Rock, do you know what most of those people came here for? They came to see me run with the ball. That's what they came for. So, when you tackle me Rock, tackle easy, see, and let me run with the ball, because that's what the fans are paying to see."

Rockne said that the calm egotism of the giant player, even though what he said was largely true, made him awful mad, and he made up his mind that he would teach the big Indian a lesson, and that the first time he tackled him

he would hit him so hard he would never livc to forget it. Sure enough, one of the 6rst plap in the ganc, the ball went to Thorpe and he came flying around Rockne's cnd, and Rockne tore into him. He had a clear run at the big man, and he tackled hirn likc a battering ram, striling with all his bone and sinew Gt*een kree and thigb, anal letting him have all the drive and twist he had in bis muscular body.

And, to his surprise, he bounced off the body of thc great football champion like a dry oak leaf, driven by a gale, bounces back from the sturdy trunk of the OaL Thorpe went plunging on many yards, until aluost the vghole opposing 1qa"n pulled him down. Rockne plcked himself up. His shoulder was full of pain as though a house had fallen on it. As he made his way toward thc scrimmage line, he passed Thorpe, and the big man grinned as he reached out and patted him on the back, and said:

"That's the way to do it, Rock ! Tackle rue easy, and let me run with the ball!"

SHAKES ARE WIDER BY FAR

fhe

Wise

builder knows thcrt

wider shclkes cosl less to apply

It's important to lumber dealers that the average width of the cedar shakes in a carton is a mighty essential factor to their Builder customers. When an applicator &ives two nails in each shakeo, it just naturally takes fewer nails, fewer hammer strokes, Iess thne. when he uses shakes that have a generous average width. He covers more wall area with less efiort, saves labor time and money . gets a better-looking wall for the money. you get a better satisffed customerr more repeat sales when you stock Fitite Shakes.

We take the time, the trouble, and spend the money to screen out the narrow, hard-to-use shingles blore theg eoer get to thp Fttite Shake machines. How do we use the narrow stock? Sure, we use it to supply you with colorful "ample fans, so you get a double benefft from olr policy of giving the builder the extra value of wider shakes. Sound sensible? You try 'em. compare Fitites for width, for color, for customer satisfaction. You'll be glad you did.

It is expected that from 550 to 600 lumbermen from Southern Oregon, Central California and the Los Angeles district will be in attendance. It is the Oakland Club's open house.

Lu Green, of Gamerston & Green Lumber Co., Oakland, is general chairman of the Reveille. His telephone number is KEllogg +&&. The program will begin with golf, for which there is a $5.00 green fee. The tee-off time is 11 o'clock. The place, the Mira Vista Country Club, end of Arlington Avenue in Berkeley. There will be prizes for the Hoo-Hoo members as well as visitors. Tom Jacobson, Sun Valley Lumber Company, Lafayette 2262, is chairman and any detail regarding a foursome or timing phone him. Tickets are available from any member of the ticket committee under Frank Timmers, chairman.

The banquet, under the able manag€ment of Bob Hogan of the Hogan,Lumber Co., begins at 7:30, following the cocktail hour starting at 6 o'clock. After the banquet will come the entertainment, under the chairmanship of Joe Pepetone, Gamerston & Green Lumber. Co. Tickets can be obtained from Frank Timmers of Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland, Templebar 2-55U or from members of his committee who are: Bill McCubbin, Cords Lumber Co., San Francisco, Yukon G6306; Bob Hogan, Ilogan Lumber Co., Glencourt 1-6861 ; Lee LeBreton, Rounds Trading Company, San Francisco, Yukon 6Wl2; Bob Meyer, Home Lumber & Supply Co., San

"A Fairly Major War"

President Ike took a clever srnash at the not overly intelltgent claim that Korea is a "police action," when he told his first press conference that it was in redity "a fairly major war." And, when you consider the cost of the mess in human lives, and legs, and eyes, and agony, and also in dollars, the description of our President is found to be conservative rather than otherwise.

General Van Fleet's blast to the effect that Korea is "a Russian-supported and Stalin-directed attack," carried much weight with the American people even before he left Korea; and since his return his frank criticism and forceful condemnation of the whole direction of the Korean effort, has given great weight to the opinion that the horrid stalemate over there should in the best possible fashion be brought to a close.

There has been evidence since the moment President Ike took ofEce that he is going to do something definite and practical about the matter, and that among his manifold

As the entertainrnent is paid for by sponsoring firms, contributions should be sent to Herb Farrell, Hogan Lumber Company, P.O. Box 986, Gakland, Calif.

In retrospect, according to Lu Green, the Reveille was started in the dark days of the depression to bring a littlc cheer intolhe lives of lumber men. Ctem Fraser, Hogan.Lumber Co. was one of the founders. It was originally supposod to be educational but is now purely gocial, and it is the most important event of its kind in the year. Everybody has a good time, old friendships are renewed, and business is forgotten'

Every dealer looking ahead to satisfying more customers every day will recognize why CHENEY quality Pays off.

Customers come back time and again when they learn how much time, work and money they save on the iob because they get UNIFORM quality in CHENEY studs.

That's why, the tighter the market gets, more yards get the edge on com' petition by stocking CHENEY studs: CHENEY quality PAYS.

W. C. L. A. Holds Annual Meeting

G. E. Karlen Named President

G. E. Karlen, Tacoma, general mar'lager of Eatonville Lumber Company, was named president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association at the close of its 42nd annual stockholders meeting in Portland, March 26.

New vice presidents named are N. B. Giustina, general manager of Giustina Brothers Lumber Company, Eugene, and R. M. Ingram, general manager of E. C. Miller Cedar Lumber Company, Aberdeen. Re-elected were Col. W. B. Greeley, vice president, Seattle; H. V. Simpson, executive vice president and Harris E. Smith, secretary, both of Portland.

Member millmen voted to spend $570,000 during the next year on national lumber merchandising and promotion. Stepped up in intensity will be retail lumber dealer aids, full color national magazine advertising, large volumc of promotion literature for retailer use, possible television films and radio programs for lumber exploitation.

WCLA members heard Rex Clark, Wilmington, California, general manag'er of Consolidated Lumber Company, urge them to adopt simplified grading rules nou' under consideration. Clark is chairman of the building standards committee of the Southern California ltetail Lumber Deal. ers Association.

Another top-flight speaker was David Bohannon of San Mateo, California, past president of ihe National Home Builders Association, who asked millmen to r,r'ork closel-v with home builders to make sure lumber got its share of the home construction business. He said all building interests should cooperate to get adequate mortgage money, realistic building codes, eliminate unworkable federal and state legislation now restricting home building.

Dean Sidney W. I-ittle, IJniversity of Oregon architecture dean, said lumbermen should encourage home builders to use native woods to get maximum individual effects.

At the Thursday night banquet, Leo V' Bodine, executive vice president of the National Lulrrber Manufacturers Association, reported on the changed climate in Washington. He said recent atomic tests in Nevada shorved plainly that lumber-built homes would withstand eftects of atomic explosions comparable rvith any other material when homes are located in residential districts, assuming targets to be industrial areas in cities.

Retiring president Hillman Lueddemann lvarned lum-

bermen they must maintain their nation-wide lumber promotion work to make sure the full story of lumber is told to consumers at all times. He urged lumbermen to watch their costs so they can remain competitive. He said improved utilization of the log would insure lower priced lumber in the future when more products could be made from leftover wood after lumber is cut from the log.

Directors elected include these Washington men: D. A. Kurtz, Aloha; R. A. Wilde, Everett; L. G. Olson, Enumclaw; C. Henry Bacon, Shelton; G. E. Karlen, Tacoma; Earl Houston, Longview; Robert R. Waltz, Snohomish; F. R. Maw, Aberdeen; and B. W. Runkel and Arnold Brandis, both of Longview.

From California two directors were elected: Jack Fairhurst and Clay Brown, both of Eureka.

Oregon directors include: J. D. Wirrick, Dee; Harold A. Miller, Forest Grove; M. .L. Hallmark, Roseburg; E. W. Pease and A. A. Lausman, Medford; Judd Greenman, Vernonia; Walter Leisy, Lebanon; William Swindells, H.

ft means the man with "personality" with which to attract the attention of the other fellorv; with the ability to do and say things in so impressive and different a way that he arouses the interest of that other fellow; with the understanding of men and things and thoughts that permits him to build up a favorable impression on those whom he contacts.

Thus the contact man is the entering wedge between the business which he represents and the people whom that business is desirous of interesting. It may not be a contact

MAN. Sometimes it is a contact wom:rn i or just a contact voice.

The other day the head of a big business 6rm said: "'We have suffered a severe loss in our organization that we are trying hard to replace. Our telephone central left to get married. She was one of the most important officials in our whole organization. She had a cool, delightful voice,' she was always courteous, always interested in what the voice at the other end of the line wanted, and possessed a genius for knowing where everyone in the organization could be located. I have tried to impress on the new girl that she is not just a phone girl, but is rather one of tte most important persons on our payroll, and she is trying hard; but losing that old girl was a red blow."

Regardless of your business, its size or locatiorr, make it your business to see that the points of contact between it and the world whose good will you desire, are making the right impression.

Western Pine lndurtry Production Sets First Quarter Record

Portland, March 3G-The following report of first quarter, 1953 production and shipments of Western Pine region lumber and lumber products and estimate of probable second quarter shipments was released today by W. E. (iriffee, assistant sccretary-manager of the \Vestern Pine ;rssociation. The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Associated Woods. The statement in full:

"Helped by the best u'inter weather in miny years, the Western Pine industry set a new production record during the first three months of 1953. Preliminary estimates place the cut for the quarter at 1,368 million feet. The previous record for the period rvas in 1951, rvhen 1,3O3 million feet u'as produced.

"Shipments did not set a new record, and they did not exceed production by as much as they normally do for the period. However, the 1,449 million shipped was only a little behind the record 1,455 million shipped in the first three months of 1950.

"It should be emphasized that, rvhile demand was satisfactory, the industry's exceptional performance was largely influenced by the most unusual weather. Operations which normally produce during the quarter rarr about as expected but the 6ne weather brought additional production from mills which usually are shut down entirely or operate very little during winter. The good volume rvas not due to frantic demand or climbing prices such as boosted the production and shipments in 1950.

"Stocks decreased only 8l million feet during the quarter Normally they are reduced by more than twice that figure Heavier output bv small mills not equipped with kilns tseason the lumber during the winter, probably ,accounted for some of the extra stock. Also, weather in the eastern consuming areas was not as good for using lumber as it was in the west for producing it.

"The general level of business activity is higher than ever before, excipt in time of war. While it isn't expected to rise much farther, it should hold near the present high level until midyear, at least. Construction activity should hold up well too, especially industrial and public works projects.

"Residential construction, in which the pine lumber industry is particularly interested, probably wont continue to show as favorable comparisons with last year's figures as it has during the past few months. However, the number of housing units already started, and the high level of industrial activity and payrolls,-make it practically certain that lumber requirements for housing will continue to be reasonably satisfactory during the second quarter.

"Based upon such factors and all other available information, it now seems probable that, during the second quarter of 1953, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 1,875 milli-on feet or about 5 percent above the same 1952 quarter."

This month, Charles Kendall, Kendall Lumber Distributors, Los Angeles, celebrates his Golden Anniversary in the lumber business.

(Here is our favorite poem on Spring. Have been running it for years. Who wrote it? Dunno. Wish iCwere us.)

Spring has came, Winter has went, ft was not did, By accident; The birds have few, As you have saw, And spiing has came, To Arkansaw.

Simpson Redwood Sales Office Moved to San Francisco

Bob Raymer, owner of the Yosemite Builders, Supply Co., at Merced, recently became the father of a baby girl, Katherine Claire. The date was March 2. She is already nicknamed K. C. The little sister had a brother, Mike. waiting for her.

Every business has an individuality brought about by the ideas of its owners or by the circumstances under which it is operating. There are retailers or wholesalers, and those who specialize in mill or. cabinet work. Some carry special species, unubual cuts, large dimension timbers or do mill work requiring heavier machinery. Yards doing a general business go to the specialist to fill in orders.

Such an individual business is that of Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co., Inc., San Francisco. For example, it carries a stock of vertical, clear, dense-grained Douglas Fir boards used for springboards and their fulcrums. In fact, it sells the "Brandsten" fnternational and Intercollegiate Official Springboard and Automatic Adjustable Fulcrums all'over the world. Diving coaches or universities .could be used as references. The springboards for the Olympic Games are supplied by them.

The company carries vertical grain Sitka Spruce for use as template stock in the construction of steel ships. The wood must be properly dried and has the quality of lying flat without changing its shape. There are also stocks of Sitka Spruce of high quality used for the manufacture of masts and spars for all types of boats. They have in stock Port Orford Cedar used in the construction of amateur sailing boats, professional fishing boats and for the hatches and wood work used on steel boats.

Fine, dry, vertical grain Douglas Fir is on hand for shipbuilders to use as 3 or 4 inch decking, with lengths up to 40 feet which are often bought by a ship yard or lumber yard to fill out an order for a rafter or beam. These heavy clears can be had up to six inches thick. There is more of this Douglas Fir for stadium seats; in fact, the firm has supplied seats for stadiums all over the West, including the wood used in the stadium at Stanford

Van Arsdale-Harris claims the credit for introducing Redwood for the use of pattern making. At one time they sold it for this purpose all over the United States. Their business is now largely confined to California because of the decreased volume of shipbuilding. Redwood for this purpose requires clear, all heart, close grained stock. Other special Redwood stocks carried run from one to four inches in thickness to 24 inches wide, also Redwood timbers up to 12 by 12 inches in thickness and of good lengths.

It could be said that the company specializes in upper grade West Coast soft woods and carries a stock of from two to

Van Arsdale-Hanis Lumber Co, Inc.

three million feet at all times. They cater l,rrgely to the industrial trade and the special needs of other lumber yards. Their business is largely confined to C-alifornia.

The firm was founded in 1888 by W.W. Van Arsdale and Mathew A. Harris. Van Arsdale was one of the original owners of the McCloud River Lumber Co. Thg succeseors were the sons of }Iarris, Mathew A. and Frank. On the death of Mathew A. Harris in 1947 the control was passed on to C. E. Needham. He is now the president of tle compady, and his son, James C. (Jim) Needham is vice president. It has been a continuous family business and was founded by California pioneers. They claim to be the first lumber company in the world to use motor driven trucks. Old phote

graphs testify to the days of six-horse pulled trucks. At about 1908, rvhen the change-over from the horse to the motor truck was being made, Van Arsdale-Harris had 12 trucks, wagons and buggies in operation.

Besides the officers of the company already mentioned, Henry (Hank) Necdham, brother to Jim, is sales manag€r; Ed Hasenyager, assistant sales manager; Kenneth I-ogan, secretary; I-eonard J. Kupps, treasurer; trIilo Jeffers, assistant treasurer u'ho has been with the company 40 years; and Ross Lee, yard superintendent.

Jim Needham, nou/ piloting the destinies of the company as general manager, graduated from Menlo Junior College where he was elected student body president. He entercd the (Continued on Page 36)

During the drawn out p€ace-talking months of this past winter the Eighth Army was firmly entrenched on a line roughly following the 38th Parallel. This made for an even bigger use of lumber by front line troops than would have been found in an advancing campaign. Standard procedure in most regiments called for a bi-monthly rotation of two battalions on the line and one in reserve. As the battalion moved back a few thousand yards into reserve it rneant that the men could live in large squad tents, each of which was equipped with two of ihe wonderful, oil burning, pot-bellied stoves. To provide added comfort and warmth against the sub.zero weather, rough floors and three-foot side walls were built from I x 6 common fir sheathing. Ordinarily, every outfit produced several men lvho were handy with hammer and sw, so American ingenuity took over from there. The men themselves learned that those few days of rest could be a great deal more comfortable with a tightly built tent or latrine. As long

as the regiment remained in its same position on the line, the men could expect to come back to the same reserve area every few weeks, so there was constant improvement on the existing structures.

Of course there was the problem that always exists whenever a stack of lumber is sitting within reach of anyone who passes by. It would disappear and then appear a few hours later in some very weird bit of building but as long as it was constructive, most supply ofilicers looked the other way.

Surprisingly enough a great cieal of common lumber is used for road sign construction in Korea. As a division moves into an area that covers approximately 160 square miles it spreads out quite thoroughly. To maintain some order to the traffic in that area it becomes necessary for almost every unit down to company levels to identify itself and to direct others to it. A sign may be incongruously lettered, "Lightning Lynx Blue Fwd," but to anyone looking for the Forward Command Post, 3rd Battalion, 14th Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, it's a very important piece of board stuck in the ground. Incidentally, that wording is written in jargon that is something oJ a code-as well as a brief way of identifying the unit.

As a higher level in Korea, lumber supply becomes the responsibility of the Army Fngineers. Each Army Corps, which ordinarily contains three Infantry divisions, maintains

at least one large lumber supply depot. One such yard keeps an inventory of almost three and a half million feet. Yard labor comes primarily from the ranks of the Korean Service Corps, a semi-military organization that is the first step for most young South Koreans who are on their way into the ROK Army. These. rugged little fellows faithfully perform a- variety of backbreaking tasks, thus allowing the American Engineers to work on more technical and complex projects.

Recent news dispatches from Korea have mentioned the use of portable or prefabricated bunkers which our men move up as soon as they have taken a hill. It is safe' to assume that lumber is the kev to this innovation.

At this writing, a solution to the war in Korea is anyone's guess. But as long as there are American troops on that battered peninsula, wood products from the forests of the United States will continue to play an important role in accomplishing the Army's mission.

After returning from the war he entered the stock and bond business with his father for a short time. In 1947 he went into the lumber business with his father. He was president of Dubs Ltd. and, at one time, member of the board of directors of San Francisco HooHoo Club Number 9. Jim is only 32 years-of-age and has a talent' for leadership, as shown by his school and air corps record. The firm is making progress under Jim's directionThe company had been located on the corner of 5th and Brannan Streets since 1888, but recently moved to the present location at 595 Tunnel Avenue.

Treat every human being as an end, never as a means only. Can anything more revolutionary be imagined? Most of us are treating human beings every day as only a means by which we profit. These creatures around us, "the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker," laborers for our comfort, tools to be used in our own achievement. In the factory we fittingly call them "hands" because we use them to achieve our desires, not theirs. We often hire them and fire them, card-catalogue them and blaclilist them, utilize them in a hundred ways for our advantage, not for theirs. They are the hands by which we clasp the cloth we need, the sugar we want, the fortune we aFe ever seeking. And so long as one section of the community is "hands" and another section is "brains," the industrial problem will remain, ominous and over-shadowing. ' Immanuel Kant would change all this. He bids us remember that each man is not only a means-as, of course, he is-but he is also an end in himself, and that the whole Iactory, mill, college, city, the entire universe, and God Himself, exist to give growth and joy to that one man.

Creeds

Our solemn creeds at best are but Our own thoughts mirrored back, The black man paints the devil white, The white man paints him black.

. The Essenticrl Is the JoY

By Pierre Ceresole

All these somberly moral people whose characteristic is renunciation, completely forget what is essential. It is not morality, however indispensable and respectable that is. The essential is the joy, the splendor, the magnificence of each man, of all men. Virtue is only a means. The essential is life-splendid life. There is no greater mistake than to imagine the Eternal looking with a pleased smile at these pale little virtues. What the Eternal loves is life-beautiful, powerful, intense.

W. F. l. A. Meets At Vlctoria, B. C.

Portland, Ore.- Ed Kellenberger, olvner of the Kell Lumber Co. and Round Top Logging CompanY, Srveet Home, Oregon, was elected president of Western Forest Industries Association at the annual meeting held in Victoria, B. C., March G8. Ray Swanson of Swanson Brothers Lumber Co., Noti, Oregon and John Harris, Redding Forest Products, Redding, California, \\'ere named vicepresidents. George E. Owen of Dick Orven Lumber Co., Eugene, Oregon, was chosen secretary-treasurer.

More than 100 members and guests attended the meeting of the association rvhich included a tour by rail, bus and steamship to Victoria, B. C., where business sessions were held on Saturday. The program included talks on applied research in forest products, lumber recovery from various grades of logs, mechanization to lou'er production costs, and trends in modern small sawmills- A number of motion pictures wqle shown, including "The Enemy is Firc" produced by the Washington and Oregon Forest Fire Association, a film of salvage operations of the Valsetz Lumber Co., Valsetz, Oregon, and others on gang sawmills and portable barkers shown by the Dominion Bridge Co. Ltd. of Vancouver, B. C.

Daniel L. Goldy, Regional Director,. Bureau of Employment Security, U. S. Department of Labor was the speaker at the annual dinner Saturday night in the Empress Hotel.

A number of resolutions were adopted by the board cf

directors of the Association at their first meeting Sunday. Influence of current conditions is reflected in one resolution which pointed out that increased stumPage prices and higher rvage rates have greatly added to the cost of lumber production until the latter has reached a point where the public is strongly resisting' and called on members of the organization to employ everv means to reduci rather than increase costs.

One urged the Washington State legislature to aPpropriate funds for continued operation of the Washington Institute of Forest Products which the board felt was of immense value to the industry composed largely of firms too small to undertake their own research program.

The association also endorsed the Keep Green program and urged its members to supPort their state Keep Green organizations.

Another resolution urged Congress to amend the mining law of 1872 so as to seParate surface from subsurface rights and permit public land management agencies to administer surface rights on mining claims in the same manner they do other public lands except that miners shall have free access to such of the surface resources as are necessary to carry on their operations.

The Congress was requested to appropriate sufficient funds, already authorized, to bring the Forest Survey up-to-date as soon as possible.

Punctuality

One of the deadliest sins a salesman can commit is lack of punctuality. It's high praise when you can say of a man: "IIe said he would do thus-and-so and you can depend on him." Ifnreliability is closely akin to dishonesty.

Punctuality is reliability. Also, vice versa. The man who is NOT punctual, who does not keep his appointments on time, or is slovenly or careless in the keeping of his engagements, steals the other fellow's time.

A man's thinking can usually be judged by his actions. Time is mone5, with business people. Who steals the other fellbw's time does not, as Shakespeare says-steal trash-but steals his valuables.

The average late comer does not look at it that way. He would not deliberately do the other fellow an ill turn, or steal his valuables. But his bad habit condemns him.

Punctuality brings its own reward. It eliminates the necessity for excuses. He who has learned the lesson of exact and dependable punctuality, has found the pot of

gold at the end of the rainbow. The Iellow who ir dwaF on time, or just a little ahead of time, is likely to be prescat when the good things of the world are passed around-

A man who breaks an engagcmcnt, breab his word; an4 ii tre thinks such things unimportant, he needs bis mental equipment adjusted. Sincere honesty includes rcliability, dependabilig, and punctudity.

Would you learn a great lesson in punctuality, shrdy George Washington. He was histor5/s lnttst Prmctual Eran. When he said he would meet tte Congress at a certain hour, he was there and ready not one minute aftcr thc time named. And he demandcd punctudity in dl otbcn' even honored guests. When he invitcd guests to dine with him, he seated himself at the table at that time whcther or not the guests had arrived. And if they came hte, he said to tiem'courteously: "My cook ncvcr asks whetber the guests have arrived, but whcther the bour has."

Man-Made Redwood Forest Growing Grandly On Mountain Side in Hawaii

R.R.C.C. Utilization Committee

Meets in Eureka

The first meeting of the new Utilization Committee of the Redrvood Region Conservation Council rvas held at the Eureka Inn. Eureka, March 20, according to T. T. Stoleson, Fairhaven. committee chairman. The group met for the purpose of discussing region-wide rvood utilization problems, and u-a1's and means of educating the public about new uses for rvood.

"Many new rvood products are nolrr being made in the redwood region out of formerly unused $'ood," Stoleson said. "Nelr. species are being used, and our major species, such as fir and redrvood, are being used for many nelv

things," he added. More than ten chipping plants are now operating in the region making wood chips for fibreboard and pulp and paper plants out of available leftover rvood, he said.

RRCC President R. W. Matthews of Eureka reminded the group that improved wood utilization was basically an economic problem. He said that improved markets for rvood by-products were making it possible to use more leftovers that might otherwise go up in smoke.

The committee plans to prepare a number of displays of region wood products for showing to schools, bervice clubs, and county fairs, Stoleson repo;ted. Some of the displays will be distributed to Redwood Circles for showing in their communities. Circles are located at \Villits, Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Cloverdale, Fortuna-Scotia, Arcata, and trvo in Eureka.

In addition to Stoleson and Matthevrs, the meeting was attended by Ralph DeMoisy, M and M Wood Working Co., Eureka; Dort Gulliksen, The Pacific Lumber Co., Scotia; Cy Bendorf, Scotia; A. O. I-efors and Douglas Clayton, Hammond Lumber Co., Samoa and Eureka; Marvin Krei, Chairman, Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, Arcata; W. D. Pine, Humboldt County Farm Advisor, Eureka; and Fred Landenberger, Redrvood Region Conservation Council, Eureka.

Other members of the committee are A. L. Lung. Humboldt Plyrvood Corp., Arcata; Howard Libbey, Arcata Redrvood Co., Arcata; E. T. F. Wohlenberg, Masonite Corporation, Ukiah; Herman Matisoff, Arcata Plyrvood Corp., Arcata; C.

Trce Farm Publication lcrucd By California Redwood Asrociation

There is more acreage in privately-owned tree farms, operated for a continuous growth of commercial timber under good forest practices, in the Redwood Region than in the region's public redwood par[<s, according to a-new publication released this week by the California Redwood Association.

The association inspects and certifies tree farms in the region.

is harvested, it is practically useless in providing a constant supply of wood for the betterment of mankind," the publication says.

Desigrred principally for use by tree farmers, the publication is issued in data sheet form and is the first of a series of aids to the tree farmer to be prepared by the association.

"It is the association's ultimate goal that all commercially valuable timberland in this area, other than the parks and groves, be operated under the principles of tree farming," according to the publication.

Two full pages of examples and illustrations are a part of the four-page document which outlines the principles of selective cutting as they relate to tree farming

"Selective cutting," the association says, "and care for reproductive processes, in addition to fire prevention and prospective thinning, are now major factors in the development of forest resources.

"The aim of the tree farm movement is to grow enough timber to replace that harvested to meet the annual demand. Generally speaking, the lumber industry is approaching that balance more closely each year.

"Thus the redwood tree farm, like any human endeavor, strives toward the most efficient use of available resources by getting the finest and most regular crop of wood from its forests without depleting its ever-productive reseryes."

The new tree farm publication is available upon request from the California Redwood Association, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco 11, Calif.

Mr. crnd Mr* Rod Hendrickson Celebrate 46th Weidding Anniversary

Mr. and Mrs. Rod Hendrickson of Neu' York City celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary on N{arch 30, and they observed the occasion in part that evening by seeing I\{aurice Evans in his hit play, "Dial I\[ for Murder," which is playing to packed houses on Broadrvay.

Rod, as many of the older lumbermen rvill remember, operated and owned the Hendrickson Lumber Co. in San Francisco for some eighteen years. In 1930 he suddenly changed over into a radio actor. For the past ten years he has been living in New York City where he has built

up quite a reputation as one of the leading radio writers and actors, and is still going strong. For several years he played the part of the English stooge, "Denny" in "Bulldog Drummond," and he took over the part of Warden Larvs in "Crime Stories" rvhen the Warden had to retire from his familiar role due to illness. For the past 6ve years, he has been playing the part of Sam Warren in "Wendy Warren," with still time to play character parts in "Gangbusters," "l\Iichael Shayne," "Greatest Story Ever Told," and others.

We might mention that Rod still has "sawdust" in his veins and is vice president and'treasurer, with his oldest son Bob as president, of the Templeton Furniture Co. in Brattleboro, Vt. manufactureis of maple bedroom furniture.

Rod is a member of Hoo-Hoo, No. fr744, a past member of the Supreme Nine, and a former high priest in the Osirian Cloister. He is a meritber of the I-ambs Club in Nerv York City.

Forest land management programs with specific attention to those non-timber producing soils, some of which are caPable of producing god forage grasses and browse for livestock and game animals.

Regional Forester Hendee stated that during the last few years some 15,000 acres of brush and sage covered land have been given intensive type conversion trealrnent. In addition, 22,W acres of land burned through wildfire have been seeded to forage grasses. He estimated that only a small portion of the total brushland areas in Northern California, susceptible to adequate type conversion, lies within national forest boundaries. Brush lands throughout the State have for many years been the source of many difficult land management problems. A diversion of ideas has developed over tfie years depending upon the land management objectives of individuals or agencies. He stated that work now under way on a few National Forests has provided some answers to the applicability of certain tehnicques and methods of brush conversion depending on varying field conditions. Mechanical work, pLant spraying and use of prescribed 6re along with better seed bed preparation is providing encouraging results on some of tlrc better grass type soils.

Director \\'yckoff summarized the status of research complete and under way. He indicated that a promising procedure for selecting the localized area to be treated is through the vegetation soil survey, a cooperative project by the State Division of Forestry, the University of California, the Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils and Agricultural Engineering-UsDA, and the California Forest and Range Experiment Station. He emphasized that research has obtained more information tban is presently being used. He pointed up the need for reconciling conflicting opinions in measuring soil losses, supplies of available water and the effect of removing vegetative cover.

Regional Forester Hendee presented to the Council the Pilot Area demonstration project under way since 194.8 on the Mendocino National Forest in Mendocino County. Some 300,000 acres have been covered by the soil vegetation surv€lr since 1951. This has given the Forest Service a basic inventory of the soil resource and its relative productive capacity. The project has been carried on in cooperation with the Extension Service, the University of Cdtifornia, the Department

of Fish and Game. Soil Conservation Service, and other agriculture, livestock and sportsmen's group.

The Advisory Council commended the Forest Service in its progress to date and the orderly manner and approach being made to a highly complex and controversial problem.

Progress reviewed in other administrative programs included results of the 1952 fire season, timber disposal plans and access roads, livestoik range improvements and recreation.

Plans were made for a summer field inspectiorr to the Blacks Mountain and Burgess Springs experimental areas in Lassen County to view the results of advanced research in timber harvesting and livestock forage production.

- The value of the Advisory Council each year becomes more evident according to Hendee and Wyckoff. They said that outside advice is needed and helps the Forest Service to strengthen major policy decisions in research and administration programs.

Joe Hazard trims the story to the bone in the telling and thus contrives to etch emphasis on its drama.

On September l, lfl62, victorious Stonewall Jackson was pursuing the Union forces, in defeat at the Second Battle of Bull Run. Major General Isaac Ingalls Stevens was ordered by Pope, the Northern commander, to fight a rear-guard action with but 5,500 men and two small cannon. Jackson advanced with 20,000 able veterans.

The General Ike,of that day did not wait on defense. He led an attack on the oncoming Confederates, and he carried it through with tactics and temper to stop Jackson's warriors. In leading the charge, General Stevens paused once. It was to send a badly wounded young captain to the rear. The young officer was his son-

Ahead in a cornfield many of his men urere cut down by Confederate fire. A color-bearer fell. Stevens galloped up, seized the flag, and inspired the surviving men to re-forrn and charge on. Within the minute he was shot dead.

Epic of Timber

Ten years earlier, as Major Isaac Ingalls Stevens, C.orps of Engineers, U.S.A., wounded veteran of the Mexican 'War, he had openly supportd Franklin Pierce for President against General Winfield Scott.

Winner Pierce appointed Stevens the first Governor of Washington Territory, in tr{arch, 1852. In addition he gave the 35-year-old major the duty of surveying a route for a northern transcontinental railroad, on his way west. AndStevens was appointed Superintenderit of Indian Afrairs for Washington Territory.

Stevens made peace among Indian tritles and treaties between tribes-and the U. S. government all the way from the new territory's eastern border, now mid-Montana, to Puget Sound- And his survey lines and recommendations were mainly followed in the plan approved for a Northern Pacific Railroad in 1864.

On July 2 of that year President Lincoln signed the act of Congress that granted some 45,00,000 acres as a financing

base for building a railroad on the route of the Stevens expedition.

It was an epic of the timber all the way through. The financial promotion was based on timber futures. Isaac Stevens in his surveys never lost sight of the value of timber for ties, trestles, buildings, and future freight along the route. The forests between the Lower Columbia and Puget Sound gave him faith in the project of a railroad north across the Cowlitz. JusticeDone...

Joseph T. Hazard-to be formal with Joe and show some respect for his 39 years-has written a thrilling action narrative in his story of Stevens. The book is called "Companion of Adventure," which Stevens certainly was. Joe loves his hero and delights in his deeds, combats, victories, and even in the glory of his death. This love shines and rings on every page, making each page prime to read

r It is a right book for the Washington Territorial Centennial Year. Stevens made enemies, and has been maligned. He had to take violent action against the Indian uprisings, or else quit cold. He had three giant jobs to do at once for his government on a wilderness frontier. He did them all well.

And well he served the Territory through two terms in Congress. Then the clouds of civil war gathered. And there death caught him.

The Sitka spruce of the Pacific Coast, the largest of the spruce family, has been naturalized in Scotland, and helps to shelter the flat shorelines of the Zuider Zee in Holland.

Douglas firs which have been planted in Denmark have developed specialized foliage rvhich seems to improve their growth and the quality of timber produced.
