Douglas Fir Plywood Assodation Okays New 2.4.1 I&G foint

Floor Gonstruction ldeo

Gurs Building costs

The plywood industry has introduced a refinement to its single-layer, combination subfloor-underlayment idea which should save 12 man hours per 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area compared with conventional 2x8 joist construction.

It is an engineered tongue-and-groove joint for 2.4.1-the lrfi-inct' fir plywood subflooring grade designed to function as both subfloor and underlayment on supports 4 feet o.c. Standard panels of. 2.4.1 require 2x4 blocking under panel edges. The new t&g panels eliminate the need for blocking.

The joint was pioneered by Diamond Lumber Company. The research division of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association tested the joint under laboratory conditions for strirctural adequacy and field tested the idea with six builders.

Many Advantages

The association says that a number of mills will produce the new panel. DFPA claims these advantages:

l. Further cost savings over standard panels of 2.4.1 and even more savings compared with other floor systems.

2. A sharp reduction in the number of individual pieces that need to be handled in a floor. (Example: In a simple 24x48 floor, conventional flooring requires a minimum of 290 separate pieces before the finish can be applied. Regular 2.4.1, with blocking, takes 124 pieces but the new tongueand-groove 2.4.1 slashes this to only 64. In addition, nailing is substantially reduced.

3. A clean, uncluttered visual efiect in the ceiling where the system is used in basement homes.

4. Lower subcontract costs provided by easier access to the crawl space.

5. Far less tendency for joints to " telegraph" through resilient floors.

When 2.4.1 was originally introduced, one Seattle builder insisted he saved $500, much of it contingent on the lower height of the entire house afforded by "pocketing" girders into the footings. Although many other builders argued the figure was too high, they achieved some ecollomies and the combination subfloor-underlayment idea has been used regardless of cost variations, often as a primary selling point.

Accordir-rg to John Hess, DFPA's technical director, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the specific cost savings the new panel produces.

"In the field tests, every application showed savings," he said, "but some builders claimed economies far above tl-rose of others. Where detailed costs are available, a typical job appears to prodnce savings in basic floor constrncfion exclusive of tl,e finish floor of 5 to 70%."

Here is one example:

lfarry Brandon. a Des Moines. kept a detailed ledger showing he cut on a 1,940-square-foot-job by $36.90.

Washington, builder, in-place flooring costs

Using his normal method of 2x8 joists 16 inches o.c.; 1x4 bridging; shiplap or board subfloor, and fir plywood underlayment, Brandon says his materials cost would have been $555.80. Total labor, skilled and unskilled, would have been 38 hours at $129.10, not including time needed for installing the joists. Total cost: $684.90.

But the method Brandon actually usetl on this house

called for 4x8 beams 4 feet o.c. and 2.4.I tongue-and-groove. Materials, including nails, came to $601. But his labor cost, for 15 man hours-z3 less than the conventional methodwas only $47. Total cost: $648.

Brandon expressed considerable satisfaction with the system, {rom several angles.

"It's pretty hard to justify a conventional floor," he said. "The money we saved makes a difference, it's true, but the convenience and dependability of the surface may mean a lot more. Buyers are impressed with that basement ceiling."

Bigger Savings

Wallace Courtnev. a home builder east of Seattle's Lake Washington, claimed larger savings than Brandon, but his report was not as detailed. He figured a saving of about 13f cents per square foot, which would have amounted to more than $200 on Brandon's job. His comparative cost figures were based on 2x6 tongue-and-groove decking supported on 4x10 timbers 4 feet o.c.

But that wasn't all Courtney gained from the new tongueand-groove 2.4.1.

"I have achieved a much better, neater and more finished looking job with this material than with any other material I have used," he said.

Special Joint Needed

Ifess emphasizes that the close-tolerance, shaped joint is necessary to develop sufficient strength for general purpose residential floor construction.

"The joint is engineered to minimize differential deflection -between panels under traffic, so as to protect the thin finish flooring used by so many builders. Load tests show the floor will take concentrated loads up to 1,500-pounds.

"Some builders have tongue-and-grboved their own panels," Hess says, "but we've never tested a conventional t&g joint in this application that was permanently satisfactory for a floor."

Accuracy and tolerances in machining the tongue-andg'roove will be subject to the same high standards of quality control DFPA applies to grading of veneer and durability of the glueline.

A str'{king new decorative surfacing plastic, featuring multi-color, ribbon-like stripes, has been unveiled by General Electric as part of a complete 1960 line of Textolite Mist patterns. Called Ruban Mist (Old French for ribbon), the new pattern was created with informal, random stripes of soft misty yellow, cocoa, white, pum,pkin, and turquoise for either residential, commercial or institutional decors.

Introduced simultaneously were Green, White and Yellow Mist-three new patterns to round out the Textolite Mist line of Beige, Gray and Cocoa initiated in 1959. These designs, which have a subdued mottled pattern, can be used to create solid effects, yet don't show wear or dirt as readily as do their solidcolored counterparts. New Ruban, echoing several of the Mist colors in its rainbow-like pattern, was designed to serve as an accent for any of the six colors in the line. All Mist patterns are offerecl in stanclard sheet widths rarrging from ?8 to 48 inches and lengths from 60 to 120 inches in both general purpose and post forming varieties.

From a column in The Los Angeles Times come the following interesting quotations:

"The good old days are the ones we are living ns1p."Sam Rayburn.

"IJlcers are not caused by what you eat, but by what's eating you."-Dr. Frank Borrelli.

"Man is the only animal that blushes-or needs fs."Mark Twain.

"Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing."-Ira Cook.

G. K. Chesterton wrote: "Faith is believing what is incredible, or it is no virtue at alL Hope is hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all. Charity is pardoning what is unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all."

And in the writings of a retired newspaperman of Los Angeles named Lee Shippey appears this wonderful paragraph:

"It is only through our appreciations that we live. Without them we would be mere clods, even if wealthy and powerful clods. The man whq can appreciate kindness, generosity, courage, faith and bquty-is very rich."

A group of men were discussing with considerable animation the value of higher education. One of them told about a young man who quit school at the end of his high school days and said he did so to enable himself to go into business and supply jobs for various schoolday friends who had gone to college.

One skillful critic of higher education contended that many years in school take certain ingredients out of a man that can never be replaced. He reminded his listeners of the fact that the two greatest writers in human history, Shakespeare-the king of male writers, and "George Eliot"-queen of female scribes, set fire to the literary world without benefit of higher education. He also mentioned Benjamin

" to re-affirm faith in fundamental human rights in the equal rights of men and women, of nations large and small. To develop friendly relations among nations, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of people. To refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state . " ***

A man's greatness is measured by his kindness, his education and intellect by his modesty; his ignorance is betrayed by his suspicions and his 'prejudices; and his real calibre is measured by the consideration and tolerance he has for others.

n'.'West Coost Lumbermen Told Greqtest Yeqrs Aheqd

Optimism for the long-range prosperity of the West Coast lumber industry was the keynote at the 49th annual meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association at Portland. March 23-24.

Lumbermen heard P. I. Prentice, editor and publisher of House and Home Magazine, forecast that , lumber would have its greatest years in the future as the nation faces up to building housing to shelter its burgeoning population.

"Wherever I go," re-elected president Eliot Jenkins told the western lumber group, "I find a renewed interest in lumber and a new appreciation of its great versatility as our nation's leading structural and home building material."

He cautioned, however, that this industry faces its

toughest fight in history and called upon all lumber producers to join in the common fight.

An adequate substitute for lumber has never been found, said Thomas J. McHugh, Boston, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, so the future of the lumber industry is every bit as promising as the future of the country as a whole.

West Coast Lumbermen's Association members approved a $600,000 program of advertising and promotion of west coast species for 1960.

H. V. Simpson, executive vice-president, said the association had just completed its busiest in history. He atron nad Just lts Duslest year .rle said the industry was ready for the FHA ruling requiring srade stampins of lumber used in FHA-financed hornes. grade stamping He called members' attention to the hard-hittine advertis- hard-hitting ral and builders' mastle attentron ing campaign of WCLA in architectural magazines, as well as in home magazines.

He forecast many changes in lumber manufacturing, processing and merchandising in the next few years.

They heard a report from R. E. Mahafiay, general manager, of 23 new member mills signed up throughout the Douglas fir-producing region of western Oregon, Washington and Northern California in the past year.

Plans were outlined by the Trade-Promotion committee, headed by R. H. Rushing, chairman, for a stepped-up campaign of lumber merchandising of west coast species to meet the challenge of new substitutes competing for the home building market.

Members attended a joint meeting of the Traffic and Car Supply committees presided over jointly by Don Goodrich, of Eugene, and A. E. Wall, Junction City, at which announcement was made that Southern Pacific's increased freight-car ownership of over 25,000 cars sfould help ease the annual freight-car shortage. Traffic men also reported progress in safety studies, improved carloading techniques, free freight-bill auditing, and rate negotiations now in progress.

Elected in addition to President Jenkins was the following slate of officers : Nils Hult, Junction City; William Garnett, Tacoma; Jack Fairhurst, Eureka-vice-presidents for their respective states; William Swindells, Portland, secretary; R. W. Middleton, Aberdeen, treasurer, and H. V. Simpson, executive vice-president, re-elected for his 15th term.

traffic regulations are designated within the plant. Every inch of storage and display space is in use.

To facilitate handling of small orders and to build large mixed orders, several Berkot lumber carriers are in use within the yard area. These carts are designed to fit the needs of retail lumberyards and are adaptable to filling customer orders as well as hauling mouldings from the mill for dry storage in the shed. "\Me just couldn't get along without these little guys," Ed Stoner said.

Although the property values, and taxes, quadrupled five or six times during the past four decades, Ed indicated Sawtelle Lumber would remain in the same location for a long time to come.

"We are a definite part of this neighborhood. In fact, we practically built this area by furnishing lumber and building material," he said. "So no matter when, or where, we could move to any other location, we just have to consider the folks we grew up with," he continued.

Sawtelle Lumber Company is a service institution first, last and all the time. Every yard employee is a trained lumberman and, above all, a salesman. The customer is, at all times, the number-one consideration, and he can fill his every building need at Sepulveda and Santa Monica in 'West Los Angeles. So operates Ed Stoner, pioneer retail lumber dealer.

The entire management, sales and accounting staff of the Paul Bunyan Lumber Company has moved from Susanville to new headquarters at Anderson, Calif., where the offices will be near the main gate two miles south of Anderson on the old Cottonwood road. The phone will be EMerson 5-2771, and the TWX is AND CAL077, reports Salesmanager A. L. Kerper. An invitation is extended to the trade to "drop in and visit" when in the area.

Although he somewhat suspected "something afoot," young-old timer Ralph was visibly moved when he arrived at the party and found 55 good friends and customers on hand for the momentous occasion. Dealers such as Larry King from Bakersfield, Joe Kirk from Santa Maria, and Charlie Cross, Sr. from Truckee were just a few who had known Ralph most of those long years -and who had driven clear to Oakland to be on hand for the party.

At the banquet table, it was a little bit of everything for Ralph-from a special citation from the Mayor of Oakland to a telegram from "Lili St. Cyr" which really broke the meeting up.

But the best of all was saved until the last, when General Manager Jim Overcast, who toastmastered the event, presented Ralph with a "small token of our gratitude"

Why Ole Quit

Ole and Pete were working in the Northern logging woods, and the boss sent them to the river to roll a bank of logs down into the water.

To the surprise of the boss, Pete came into camp a couple of hours later, reporting that Ole had quit. He had

no good explanation why, just insisted that Ole had quit. The exasperated boss finally said to him, "Now you tell me exactly what happened to make Ole quit !"

"Vell," said Pete, "you listen and Ay vill tole you. Me and Ole ve ban rolling a beeg log down de bank. Dere ban a beeg knot on de side of de log on de end by Ole.

Pacifica, Calif,-The Sharp Park Lumber Co., one of this community's oldest business firms, started the new year at a new location and under a new banner-the Pacifica Lumber Co. Owner Marvin Compton spent the recent holiday season moving the retail lumberyard and hardware business to the new site at 4275 Coast Highway. The yard had been known by the old name for many years and Compton took over the firm 10 years ago from Nelson Bedford.

The new location will almost double the yard's space and, more important, make available a building built to be a lumber and hardware business. the dealer declared. The yard closed during the holidays and reopened January 4 in the new, 5,000-sq. ft. modernistic building near Vallemar which will house lumber, hardware and building materials and has drive-in facilities from both sides of Coast Highway. Compton, who was in the contracting business before he took over the 'retail yard, is a native of Chugwater, Wyoming, and went to Pacifica from San Francisco.

NOTES OF INTEREST ABOUT CENSUS BUREAU PHONE CALLS

Life around headquarters of the Bureau of the Census in the U. S. Department of Commerce is never dull, especially not with the opening of the 1960 Census of Population and Housing April 1. After the distribution of Advance Census Report forms to households, telephone inquiries to the Census Bureau's Public Information Ofhce wele many and varied.

Here are some samples:

One woman said her husband worked and supported the family but she owned the house. She wanted to know, therefore, whom should she list as head of the household. Answer: The husband.

election to the seat to be vacated by Congressman Joe Holt. Blanchard, a member of the prominent retail lumber family owning the Blanchard Lumber Co. in North Hollywood, l-ras been a city councilman nine months. lIe was a member of the County Housing Authority for 15 years before his recent election to the Council. He makes his home with his family in Studio City.

Jensen Nqmes Thomson Monoger

Ken Thomson, until recently with Madera Lumber & Hardware, was named manager of Calaveras Builders Supply in San Andreas, California, on April 1. The yard is owned by Bernhardt M. Jensen.

Several women were concerne<l lest their husbands fincl out their true age, inasmuch as they were at least several years older than their mates. One stated her husband had a suspicion that he was younger than she but wasn't certain-and-she saicl he would almost die if someone else found it out-particularly in his presence. Answer: She was told that she could have the census taker enumerate her separately.

One woman who planned on being away at the time the census taker would be around said she would leave her ACR with a neighbor and not with the janitor as he was "too nosey." Answer: The form may be left with the neighbor.

A man phoned saying he was calling from a phone booth on the corner. He said that every so often his wife gets mad at him -and puts him out of the house -usually saying to him, "You get out of here ---, you don't live here any more." He said he didn't nrind humoring her on those occasions but he was afraid she might still be angry at him at the time the census taker arrived and she might decide to "forget" to include him as a part .of the household. He volunteered the information that she had been hostile and hardly spoke to him since the day they were married, over twelve years ago-but-even so-he did like to get back to visit their eight children. Answer: Pity the poor enumerator! If the man is supporting the family he is the head.

One oldster phoned and said that his son informed him that if he answered all the questions correctly he would receive a prize. He thought this was very nice of Uncle Sam but wanted to know if he would have a choice of prizes. Answer: No prize, no choice.

Fires Domoge Angel's Lumber Yord in Ciry of Industry

The second blaze during the same night caused an estimated $170,000 damage to the Angel's Lumber Co. in the early morning hours of February 13. It was also the second time in approximately a year that the yard at 122ffi E. Garvev Ave. in the Citv of Industrv. east of El Monte. had been dainaged by fire. A iutt -ootr"-l,o,ritrg arsonist is suspected as the cause.

Three hours after a small blaze had been discovered and extinguished at the yard, sherifi's deputies spotted the second fire. Flames rapidly ate through the lumber and storage sheds, gaining a firm foothold before the first of 11 engine companies could reach the scene.

Owner Sydney Kline arrived at his lumber firm shortly after the fiie broke out and had to be forcibly restrained from rushing into the blazing yard in an effort to save more than $40,000 worth of accounts receivable records. An industrial natrol officer. however. saved the records while deputies were restraining Kline.

At the earlier fire, a large supply of gasoline-soaked papers were found throughout the yard leading from the area where the fire started. The second fire attracted so many onlookers that it was impossible for authorities to observe any suspicious persons in the vicinity. As soon as the blaze was extinguished, arson investigators began searching for more positive evidence of arson and possible clues to the identity of the arsonist.

Dealer Kline stated that the company was insured. The blaze also damaged an adjacent hardware supply store owned bv Kline. and a nearby real estate office.

During the first three months of last year, the Angel's yard was one of three lumber firms heavily damaged or destroyed by fires later .determined to have been the work of an arsonist. In each case the fires were started on an evening of a full moon. There was a full moon during this year's blaze, also.

Tee-off time is set for 10:59 p.m. and the big evening will get underway at 6:29 p.m. An estimated 500 lumbermen are expected to make roll call for the party, according to Club 39 officers.

In the Spiing, los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Brightly Yeorns . .

It was a balmy, warm Spring day, Nlarch 18, when 87 lumber athletes of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2, their guests and friends converged on Lakewood Country Club in Long Beach for the monthly golf tournament and banquet. Twenty "Kittens" were concatenated into the fraternal order of lumbermen and a whopping vaudeville show of several diversified acts attracted more than 165 for the dinner and evening afrair.

"This has been the most successful party of the season and we hope we will enjoy as good a turnout for Hoo-Hoo Day next month at the Southern California Retail Lumber Asiociation convention at the Ambassador hotel," said President Harold Cole.

To aid in the induction of the Kittens, three prominent

visitors from San Diego Club 3 were on hand to assist the Degree Team. Ex-Supreme 9 member Clif Roberts, Bill Seeley and Eddie Gavotto, all prominent in Hoo-Hoo activities in the border city, were on hand for the rousing event celebrating Saint Patrick's Day and to enjoy the goodfellowship.

7-Upper Johnny Lindell was on hand for golf and dinner. He enjoyed the show and if he was only identified with wood instead of soft drinks he would be a good prospect for the Membership committee. Black Cats enjoy this exYankee baseballer.

Don Go'w, majordomo of golf, working for Harvey Koll, started the tournament right on schedule. And to his amazernent almost a hundred starters appeared when only 35

Charlie Strait and a Mr. Baker both received guest prizes with their low-score showing. And popular Ed Davidson won the retailer prize while Wally Lingo walked off with the $45 blind bogey. Eric Flamer, who has been absent for many moons, was welcomed back to the pasture and helped with the golf action.

The Concatenation was held promptly at 6:09 in order to get the serious business at hand over with before the Girls arrived for the show.

One of the finest classes of kittens to be inducted in a long time included Russ Barrera, J. M. Brown, J. E. Connolly, K. A. Evans, Milt Gensch, R. B. McDonnell, J. G. McNeil, R. H. Benson, C. H. Bohnhoff, Lynn Hansen, R. K. King, H. G. McNeil, D. E. McNew, E. E. Potter, J. P. Stoddard, G. H. Webb, R. E. Peterson; Wally A. Lingo, J. D. Mills and R. L. "Bob" Smith.

The Degree Team was headed by the Snark of the Los ' Angeles club, Harold Cole, and the Snark of the San Diego club, Bill Seeley. The others were Clif Roberts, Supreme 9 Custocatian Harvey Koll, Don Bufkin, Rex Wells, Clarence Bohnhoff, J. E. Marshall and John "Fitz" Fitzpatrick.

These popular Hoo-Hoo officials opened the eyes of the kittens and they saw the light of day of lumberland and

heard the serious purposes of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo.

Following the initiation, the largest gathering of the season sat down to prime rib or lobster dinner. Chuck Lember took over at this point and the door prizes were unveiled for the lucky winners.

Bud Oliver, Dow Gow and Francis Kelly were rewarded with a gift for making advance reservations.

Other lucky winners were Porter Stoddard, Chuck Lember (?), Jack Hulse, Jean Parrish, Lloyd Webb, Ted Volte, Seth Potter, Milt Jensen, Clarence Bohnhoff and Charlie Pierce.

The fine appliances and gifts were well received.

Tom Burden, chairman of the Entertainment committee, is the Number-O4e guy on the totem pole for his successful presentation of the Sidney Zaid. vaudeville show. All of the boys enjoyed the close-up view of some of the most beautiful girls on the Las Vegas and Hollywood circuit. Everybody on hand had a whale of good time-were you there ?

Jonuory Gonstruction Conlrqcts Down

Contracts for future construction in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) in January totaled $2,192,949,000, down 5/o from a year ago, reported F. W. Dodge Corporation. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Dodge Index of construction contracts in fanuary was 235. compared with 244 in December and 231 in November. Chief factors contributing to the January drop were continued declines in housing and highways, according to Dodge.

Dr. George Cline Smith, Dodge vice-president and chief economist, pointed out, however, that "The drop in housing was certainly no more than expected and highway contracts have shown little strength for the past year or so."

Contracts for residential buildings totaled $926,966,000 in January, a decrease of 9/o from the comparable 1959 level. The number of dwelling units represented by the residential contracts in January totaled 72,329, down l4/o from a year ago.

Money is strange stuff. Few folks understand it. Many who pose as financial experts are as ignorant of the realities as an oyster on the ocean bed is ignorant of astronomy. Few people realize that money is only valuable when it is scarce. In this respect it differs from other valuable goods and commodities. Food, clothing or shelter, for instance, would still be useful and desirable even though produced in such quantities that their price might be very low.

At the annual election of officers of American Forest Products Corporation held March 23 in San Francisco, two new vice-presidents were named: Howard W. Blagen (left) and Vernon C. Gardner. Both of these men have a lifetime of experience in the logging, sawmilling and lumber remanufacturing industry.

Howard Bligen, whose father and grandfather before him were lumbermen; was doing odd jobs around a sawmill when still a youngster. By the time he was high-school age he was working-summers in the woods, surveying and cruising timber. Mr. Blagen graduated with an enginee_ring degree-from Polytechnic College of Engineering in Oakland. He became associated with American Forest Products Corporation in 1939 as assistant sales manager in the lumber division. Subsequently he laid out millsites and engineered sawmills foi the corporation. In 1948 he became general manager of an AFPC sawmill at Wilseyville, California, which position he held until becoming director of all American Forest sawmill operations in 1958. Mr. Blagen was elected a director of the corporation in 1955.

Vernon C. Gardner (right) has spent his entire working life with American Forest Products, starting as a schoolboy sweeping out the office and doing jobs at a subsi{iary, Stoc[ton Box Company. Mr. Gardner is a graduate of Oregon State College. Through the years he has served as manager of two iompany sawmills and manager of one_ of the corporation's largest box factories and remanufacturing plants ln San Joaquin Valley. He became a director of American Forest Pioducts Corporation in 1959 and today is general manager of two of the corporalion's larqe Southern California operations, Mt. Whitney Lumber Company and Harbor Boi & Lumber Company, with two sawmills, California's largest industrial wooden box factory and remanufacturing facilities under his direction.

A 45O-gallon Patterson Pebble Mill has been added to the stain production facilities of Olympic Stained Products Co., Seattle, manufacturer of stains and prestained cedar sidings. John N. Anderson, vice-presid_ent in charge of production, said the mill would increase Olympic's production of stain by 3O/o. Olympic recently announced the addition of three n-ew types of stain : a penetrating stain, a penetrating stain wax, and a roof stain. The addition of these new stains, plus a continuing increase in sales, made the increase of stain production necessary, Anderson said.

During the first six weeks of this year, Olympic -Stain sales increased by 20,000 gallons over the comparable period of 1959. Anderson said.

Following introduction at lumber dealer conventions, Seminar No. 2 in the NRLDA Sales-Maker program, sponsored by Masonite Corporation, is being ordered by many dealers for their salesmen. It is entitled "Selling the Whole Package."

Like other seminars in the Sales-Maker program, the second one is designed as a complete sales development course tailor-made Jor lumber dealer personnel, including salesinen, countermen, bookkeepers, telephone operators, yard men, truck drivers and others who have daily opportunities of selling.

It highlights how package-selling multiplies sales volume and profits and how this concept of selling minimizes price competition. Since it is one of six of the seminars in the NRlDA-sponsored series, "Selling the Whole Package" follows loglcally on the heels of the first seminar, sponsored by United States Gypsum, on "Custorriers. Are People."

- Masonite sales representatives are making a concertecl efiort to sign up dealers for the seminars.

Red Fir Supply Brings Logging Acriviry lo Sqn Diego Counfy

For the first time in San Diego county history, logging has been established in that area with sufficient output for steady export. Red fir from Volcan Mountain, seven miles northeast of Julian, Calif., is beir-rg logged and the timber shippecl to Japan for use primarily in the manufacture of boxcars, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Export Pacific Co. of Tacoma, Wash., is handling the shipments, and representative Larry Elmore said it was never thought that timber of such quality could be found in such abundarlce so far south. An estimated 20 million board feet of lumber is exoected to be cut in the next two years, much of this to be shipped to the Orient.

"When we were told about this activity, we were skeptical, but decided to take a look anyway," said Elmore. "We were more than pleased with what we found," he added.

Earl A. Rasmussen, president of the newly formed Julian Timber & Tree Co., Inc., said that the establishment of a Iumber mill in the Julian area is now being considered. At present, Coulter pine and cedar, which are being harvested along with the fir on Volcan Mountain, are trucked to a mill in Redlands.

Mqrch Conslruction Expendifures Up ro $3.7 Billion

The value of new construction put-in-place ir.r Marcl-r 1960 amourrted to $3.7 billion, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce. This was 5/o above the Februlry 1960 level and 4/o below the March 1959 value. Seasonal expectations call for an increase of about Sof between February and March. The cumulative value of construction expenditures in the first three months of 1960 amounted to $10.9 billion, 2/o below the comparable 1959 total.

Neu' private construction expenditures in March 1960 amounted to $27 billion, 4/o more than in February 1960 and about the same level as in March 1959. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of private construction declined in X{arch by 3%, with private residential building accounting for the major portion of this decrease. Spending for private residential construction in March 1960 amounted to $1 .4

billion. This was 6/o more than in February compared to a normal seasonal increase of about I0/o between February and March.

The cumulative value of exoenditures for residential buildings in the first three montlis of 1960 showed an overthe-year decline of 3/o to $4.3 billion.

Following the usual successful party pattern, the event kicked off at 7 :39 p.m. with libations and the get-acquainted period. Then, thoroughly "acquainted," the large crowd seated itself in the hotel's spacious Empire room for a firstclass feast on charcoal-broiled steak or lobster.

In ttre forests of coastal British Columbia, the giant Red Cedar often survives centuries of time, wind and weather. Little wonder, then, that lumber cut from this naturally tirneless wood will beautify and protect homes in the most severe climates for decades more.

Western Pine Firsl-Gluqrter Production Up; Shipmenrs Dip

The following report for the first-quarter, 1960, production and shipments of \Mestern Pine region lumber products, and estimate of probable second-quarter shipments, was issued by W. E. Griffee, secretary-manager of the \Mestern Pine Association:

COMPANY

87Ol Wilshire Boulcvord (Suire 20O)

Phone: Oleonder 5-6312

"sawmills in the Western Pine region did a surprtisingly good volume of business during the first quarter of this year in spite .of the lower rate of home construction and the unusually severe winter weather east of the Rockies.

"Preliminary estimates place first-quarter lumber production at a record 2,001 million feet, up 4A/o frorn the first quarter of last year. Favorable winter weather in much of the region, together with new mills built during the last year, encouraged more than a normal' volume of production in relation to shipments.

"First-quarter shipirrents estimated at 2,O14 million feet were down 3.2/o frorn a year ago. This volume was better than the number of housing starts and the severe winter weather in the east might lead one to expect.

"Estimated stocks at the end of the quarter were 2@0 million feet, up from 1845 million feet a year ago. Although this is an increasc of l}7o, it should be remembered that last year's stock figure was during a period of exceptionally good demand.

"The seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts may have passed its low point during the first quarter. While it takes several months for the underlying causes to show up in the figures on actual housing starts, the recent turn toward easier mortgage money .and the high rate of employment should make themselves felt over the n-ronths ahead. Housing analysts are beginning to'revise upward their forecasts of this year's home building.

"The Western Pine Association's recent change in its grading rules for framing lumber was not made to obtain any competitive advantage. Neither was FHA's interim approval of equal stresses and spans for all Douglas Fir and Larch joists and rafters, grade for grade, expected to more than recognize construction practices which were satisfactory for many years before FHA and its gradestamping requirement came into the picture. Nevertheless, these recent developments should remove some roadblocks to the distribution of framing lum,ber from mills in the Western Pine region.

"The combination of good weather in western lumber-producing areas and very late winter in the east has caused the indust'ry to produce somewhat faster than the market really requires, at least in some ite,ms. The coming of spring in major consuming areas should help colrect this situation but the current slump may extend well into the second quarter.

"Based upon the above factors and all other available information upon pr()spective demand, it seems probable that during the second quarter of 1960, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 2420 rr'illion feet, or about 5% below'\ose in the booming second quarter of 1959."

A Chinomon Writes About Americqns

A Chinaman, who had lived but a short time in this country, wrote a letter to a friend in the old China of happy years ago in which he discussed Americans in this way:

"You cannot civilize these foreign devils. They are beyond redemption. They will live for weeks without touching a mouthful of rice but they eat the flesh of sheep and bullocks and even swine in large quantities. That is why they smell so badly. Every day they take a bath to rid themselve5 of their disagreeable odor, but they do not succeed. Their meat is carried into the room where they eat in large chunks, often half-raw, and they cut and slash and tear it apart like savages. They eat with knives and prongs. ft makes a civilized person very nervous to watch them. One fancies himself in the presence of sword-swallowers. They even sit down at the table with women, and the women are served first, reversing the order of nature. Yet the women are to be pitied, too, for on festive occasions the men grab them in their arms and drag them around a roorh to the accompaniment of the most awful music."

Repetition

John Galsworthy said: "My experience tells me that what you have said before you had better say again, if you want anybody to pay attention to it."

The colored preacher, asked about his preaching, said: "Fust, I tells 'em what I'm going to tell 'em; then I tells 'em; then I tell 'em what I done told 'em."

operations. He further stated the Sweet Timber Company, a partnership, successor to the corporation, had made an application to engage in timber operations and it had been denied a permit. These orders resulted from proceedings filed by the Attorney General for failure to comply with State Forest Practice Rules of the Redwood Forest District and.the Forest Practice Act.

The Sweet Timber Company has been logging and operating a sawmill since the early p{t of 1959 near Point Reyes in western Marin county. The operations of the firm are located near ocean and wooded areas in which there has been considerable interest to establish a state or national park. The land being logged is in various ownerships including that owned by the Sweet Timber Company, the Tevis Land and Livestock Company_, the P_oint Reyes Land and Development Company, thp Golden Rule Church, and others. Sweet has timber-cutting rights on the properties. - Raymond stated that the partnership has been given 60 days to correct violations noted by California Division of Forestrv inspectors. These corrections will involve compliance-with- fire hazard, erosion contro-I, slash disposal' ind other requirements of the Redwood Forest Practice Rules. Raymond stated that after these corrections are made in the 60-day period, the firm may be issued a probationary permit for one year, subject to stipulation lhat Sweet-Timber Company will restock areas deficient in tree-seed requirements. Inspections of the opelations are handled by the district office of the California Division of Forestry located in Santa Rosa.

New Film on Protection

The anti-crime methods-including one that traps a burglar if he merely takes a deep breath-are unfolded in "\Mhen Every Minute Counts," a color film made by Jerry Fairbanks Pi-oductions in cooperation with Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments and the American District Telegraph Co. One bf the gadgets sets off an alarm that the Surglar can't hear in J safe he hasn't even touched ! Entertaining for all audiences, basically t}:'e Z2-minute motion picturJshows how detection and alarm syst-ems safeguard life and property by summoning police or firemen in t-he first crucial-minutes when burglars attack or fire strikes. Last year 2,500 attacks on safeguarded property resulted in more than 1,000 arrests. Prints may be obtained from Modern Talking Pictures Service, Inc., of Los Angeles.

VAGABOND EDITORIAIS

(Continued from Page 16) work produced on that press was "The Freeman's Oath." And the first entire book printed on it was The Bay Psalm Book. This famous press still exists, and was used for the design of the 3-cent stamp printed in 1939 commemorating the 300th anniversary of printing in America. The first American newspaper was The New England Courant, established by James Franklin, half-brother of the younger Benjamin Franklin. Ben learned printing from James and later he established his own paper' The Pennsylvania Gazette in Philadelphia. Later on the famous liberal, Thomas Paine, was editor of The Gazette.

And some modern n*rlto"Jnn"l suggests that, in these political years, whenever you hear two men calling one another a lot of hard names in public, it might not be a bad idea to believe them both.

OLSON BARGES

move more lumber for less

Under deck, safe and dry (out of sight in this photo) new Olson barges can hold 4000 tons of plywood... equal to 133 boxcars! Easy-access hatches, two 30-ton cranes speed all handling.

It's a warehouse-on-the-water for plywood, pulp, particle board, along with the rest of your shipment.

Olson operates three such barges (the Forest, the Flwmce, and the Marg Olson) as well as deck barge Pacifi.c N9 2. And Olson handles with care and gets it there, promptly! For rent, iharter or lease, get in touch with Olson now.
