How Lrumber Lrooks

Portland, Oregon, April l6-Lack of orders to absorb production at Douglas fir saw'mills has caused unfilled order files to drop and inventories to climb substantially this spring.

According to Harris E. Smith, secretary, \\test Coast Lumbermen's Association. lumber inventories stood at 1,106,421,000 feet at the end of March. compared to 96ti,521,000 feet for the same period last year. Unfilled order files fell from 954,357,000 feet at the end of three months in 1952 to 921.857.0N feet March 31, 1953.

Shipments through March of 2,6O4,351,00O feet, Smith said, r,vere below both orders and production.

The lvgekly average of West Coast Lumber production in March was 723,325,000 b.f. or 117.6/o of the 1948-1952 average. Orders averaged 218,030,000 b.f.; shipments 217,088,000 b.f. Weekly averages for February were: Production 214,446,000 b.f. ; 1I2.9/o of the 1948-1952 average: orders 212,7ffi,W b.f.; shipments 204,461,000 b.f.

Three months of 1953 cumulative production 2,713,153,000 b.f.; three months ol 1952, 2,525,8W,W b.f.; three months of 1951, 2,62738f,W b.f..

Orders for three months of 1953 breakdown as follorvs: Rail and truck 1,772,650,000 b.f.; domestic cargo &3,l0l,000 b.f.; export 181,453,000 b.f.; local 111,859,000 b.f.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 924,857,0W b.f.. at the end of March; gross stocks at lJA6,4?1,000 b.f.

All 1953 figures have available. been adjusted to latest information

Lumber shipments of 498 mills reporting to the lriational Lumber Trade Barometer rvere 7.1 per cent above production for the l'eek ended April 11, 1953. In the same week neu' orders of these mills rvere 6.0 per cent above production. Unfilled orders of the reporting mills amounted to 45 per cent of stocks.

ARCHITECTS appreciate the beauty of this fine wood.

RETAIL IUTYIBER DEATERS find West Coast Hemlock even-textured and a fast-moving material among farm and home trade.

BUIIDERS approve of Hemlock, find it subject to minimum shrinkage and checking holds nails firmly without splitting saws without splintering

DECORATORS like to work it . . . find Hemlock naturally receptive to paints and wide range of natural finishes or stains. The beauty of this wood and freedom from pitch and resins assure absolute satisfaction when it is used for finish and panel stocks. Finishing emphasizes the beauty of West Coast Hemlock texture.

In many, many instances West Coast Hemlock rrleets all the requirements of Douglas Fir and is graded under the same rules. Hemlock is recommended for framing structure, flooring, studs, joist rafters, boards and sheathing: (shown above) and is available and interchangeable in light construction with samegrades of yard stock as Douglas Fir. Note alsoexamples of bevel siding and drop siding. West Coast Hemlock rates as one of the highest-grade softwoods-kiln dried, manufactured and graded to requirements of the trade. It is used industrially for millwork, shelving, cabinets, furniture, ladder stock and cratiag and containeqs. Write for booklet on where to use WEST COAST HEMIOCK.

Program for Redwood Logging Congress M.y 22-23

"Safety in the u-oods and on the highn'a_vs" is the thenre chosen for the Redu'ood Region Logging Conference IIav 22 and 23. The theme u.as picked at the meeting of the bo:rrd of directors in Eureka, according to Ro1' G. \\'agner, Ukilrh. Conference president. The directors' meeting u'as hel<l for the purpose of formulating plans for the Confercncc program.

l-ee Smith, Eureka, chairman of the equipment dealers comrnittee, reported that all committees had been appointed to handle the equipment shorv ar.rd Sas' Dust Bos'l social tnixer. The shorv tvill consist of indoor and outdoor displal's, he said, and s.ill be of interest to the general public lus u'ell as the industry. The Sarv Dust Bou'l rvill be held from 4:30 P.M. to 7:00 P.N{. Friday, M"y 22 at the Eureka Inn, he added. The remainder of the Conference u'ill be held at the Eureka Municipal Auditorium.

The program for Friday, Illay 22 *'tll include an address by Professor Lawrence C<lolidge, Oregon State College School of Business Administration. His topic rvill be "Fin:rnce l'roblems of Contract Logging." \\r. D. Pine, Humboldt County Farm Advisor, t'ill speak on the Hunrboldt County Forestry Committee. In addition there u'ill be speakers on utilization of vi'oods leftover for pulpu'ood and fibreboard. ne'rv developments in state forest practice rules, and a panel on region fire protection problems.

A panel on general rvoods safety led b1' Sidnev l\Iackins of Harnmond Lumber Co. u'ill be held on Saturdav, I\Iay 23. 'fhe panel rvill discuss causes of lost time accidents and effects, including injuries, loss of rvorking time. u'ages, and output. Assistance and advice rvill be offered to all companies interested in conducting acciderrt l)reventi()n campaigns.

Also included in Saturdal-'s program u'ill lte a panel on highu'ay trucking safety. C. E. \\'illis. Truck Insurante Exchange, San Francisco; Willianr I'ascoe, California Association of Timber Truckers, San Francisco; and Jack I-. Curtis, Oregon Timber Transport Operators, Portland. rvill take part in the panel. Discussion .rvill center on ne\\' industry efforts to improve highrvav safetr..

The public u'ill be invited to attend all sessions of the Conference, Wagner said, including business meetings and equipment displavs.

Construction Activity in March 1953

Expenditures for ne\\' construction increased b1' l0 per cent cluring llarch to $2.5 billion. rounding out a record first-quarter total of $7 billion, according to preliminarv estinrates of the U. S. Labor Dpartment's Bureau of l-abor Statistics and the Building Ilaterials Dirision of the U. S. I)epartrnent of Commerce. The Januar.v-Ifarch total als<r represents a first-c;uarter record for rvork actuall-v done on nerr- construction, after allos':rnce ior higher cclsts.

Ilrivate c()nstruction expenditures rose considerabl-v more than seasonally during \Iarch to $1.7 billir.rn. and accounted for the larger part of the over-all gain from Februar_v. During the first quarter of 1953. private outlavs, at 7 per cent above the Januarl'-l\larch 1952 level. totaled almost $5 billion. Residential building actir,ity accounted for nearly half this figure after rising 12 per cent during [[arch.

Further expansion of private industrial building brought cxpenditures for this type in the first quarter of 1953 to a near peak level. Commercial building in 1953 topped last vear's first-quarter expentliture total b-r' 44 per cent. and private outlavs on public utilities s'ere running higher this -vear mainly because of nerv construction in the electric light. porver, and gas-utility group.

l'ublic construction expenditures rose 12 per cent during I\Iarch. to $725 million. The 'rise rvas less than usual for this tinre of 1'ear, hos'ever. and reflected the lag in Federal contract arvards follos'ing a Februar-r' Budget Bureau order to rer-ietr- construction projects for essentiality. Public <lutlays for new construction put in place during the first quarter of 1953. at $2 billion, rvere only slightly above the Januar-r'-I{arch 1952 figure. and mainl.v represented defenseconnected construction and highrvay work. Public expenditures on housing. hospital building, and conservation and development rvork l'ere all at lorver levels this year than during the 1952 first <;uarter.

Our Outn Large Timber S"pPLl makes us a Dependable Source of Supply

President Woodrow Wilson said: "When I hear Americans begging to be assisted by the Government, I wonder where they were born? I wonder how long they have breathed the free air of America? I wonder where their papers of spiritual naturalization are?"

Dr. Edwin Nourse, one of America's most respected economists, warns: "Monetary and fiscal tricks have no power of magic, but are "*"ttln.ft road to misery."

Chief Justice Nelson Phillips of the Texas Supreme Court said: "Whenever in history the freedom of any people has been reduced, the next step in the progress of absolutism and decay has been to make them dependents on Government favor, and the public treisury. Bounties and subsidies are the convenient and insidious instruments of absolute power. They have no place in the government of afreepeople."

General Ike Eisenhower said: "Very firmly I believe that the great army of persons who urge greater add greater dependence upon the federal treasury are really more dangerous to our form of government than any external threat that can possibly be arralred*against us."

The last quotation is from a letter written by the then General, early in 1949 to a member of Congress, which came as something of a bombshell to the "let the government do it" gang in Washington. It was quoted in this column on July 15, 1949. In this same column on March l, 1951, we quoted the General as saying in public utterances of recent date that he "deplored rewards without effort in our present way of life," and thought "harvests without planting are all wrong."

Naturally a lot of the small fry in Congress rose up on their hind legs and assaulted Ike for speaking his honest opinion in favor of free enterprise. From the way the jackasses went to nibbling at him you would have thought he was a bale of hay. All of which had no effect on him, and his former utterances showed plainly that the something-for-nothing formula would have hard sledding if he came to ponrer. Well, he came ! ***

We know, of course, that everyone has not been in agreement with the opinions concerning socialistic matters with the four splendid authorities quoted above. Early in the thirties the late demented New Ded came along, and sub. sidies and bounties and grants-in-aid from federal government to American citizens became as popuLar and pro-

miscuous in America as pig tracks around an East Texas schoolhouse. Old John Enterpriser, who had been in cbarge of our affairs for more than a hundred years, went out thc window, and with him went that "silly old sornout philosophy of supply and demand." And in his place came Sam Subsidy, and Bill Bounty, and Gimme Gimme, who did everything different from the way it had dways been done, and had billions of government Eoney with which to finance their ventures into*"1"?c wondcrl,and.

They killed little pigs and paid cash for them, in a world that was hungry; they plowed under food and clothing crops, and paid cash for them; they paid freeborn and previously sane American citizens NOT to raise cropo on tteir l'ands. Almost everything they did reflected against our national sanity and infringed*or*o* nationd solvcncy.

Weird philosophies reared ttreir heads. The political drugstores were filled with strange panaceas, promising to drag prosperity back by the horns. The logic for all these strange nostrums was explained to this writer many times by many of the queer doctors. The troublc was nobody ever came along who *"1U :*Ofa the cxpl,anations.

As a shining exa'nple of what went on in ttose days, there came a suggestion from the higher-ups in tte Agdculture Department that will still be a record as long as the world lasts. It was suggested ttat, sincc work aninals on the farms were scarce, the Government should supply the farmers with mare mules ttat were in foal, thus giving the tillers of the soil both the work animals and their increment. ***

How red some faces must havc becn when practical farmers explained to them tbat mare mules are not productivc of their kind; that they are, in fact, without pride of ancestry, and without hope of postcrity. Things havcnt been that bad since ttrose strange days, but up to now old John Enterpriser has never bcen allowcd to takc chargc of things in our agriculturd operations. Legalized subeidies assumed the odor of sanctity, and there still prevails tte opinion that unless we put cash crutchcs under our farmers they will fall down and go boorn, and the rest of us will go withthem'

From the days of Hcnry Wdlace ttrough those of "Baldy" Brannan, thc "something-for-nothing" nostrum to cure our agriculturd ills and furnish the farmcr with Cadillacs, has been as contagious as the spirit of holiness at a religious revival. And the fact-finder who has dared to point out the inadequacy of thc nostnnnq eycn thougb hc

acted without partisan prejudice, often became the geographical center'of a cyclone of elderly verbal eggs and a tornado of aged tomatoes..F ,r *

For twenty consecutive years beginning with 1933, a basic and constant struggle has been going on between the backers of a planned economy and the something-for-nothing formula on one side, and the free enterprise system on the other. We have heard innumerable planners sound off with assumed wisdom on the subject of capital, labor, and business, many of whom never had any capital, never performed any labor, and never transacted any business. Yet, because of the insidious lure of something-for-nothing, the planners have stayed tali in the saddle; and old Supplyand-Demand has had to stay hidden out, waiting for his emanciPation daY' ,< * ,(

For many years the'principal recipient of the subsidies and bounties of his fellow Americans, has been the farmer. We read in Proverbs in the Good Book: "FIe that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he that followeth vain persons shall be void of understanding." Which philosophy might have been all right in Bible days, but it doesn't go now. The rule that all our citizens must join together and pay additional taxes in order to guarantee prices and profits to the tillers of the soil, has been going on so long now that most*folks have quit asking why?

Part of the income taxes we pay goes to supply the cash for subsidies; and then we go into the store to buy food and pay the subsidies all over again in the shape of high prices created by government supports. And then if governmentaccumulated food spoils, as so much of it has, or is practically given away just to get rid of it, the consumer is taxed once again to make up the loss. At least twice and often three times every American taxpayer pays for the government-provided subsidies for farmers.

**t<

"On what food hath they fed this Caesar that he hath grown so great?" So asks Mr. Shakespeare; first name William. It's easy to answer that one. They have fed him on subsidies, on profits that were never earned, and food crops that were sold to that generous old relative, IJncle Sam, but denied to Mr. John American, who would sure like to grease his lips with some of the unheard-of mountain of butter this Government now owns.

Food scandals based on subsidies of various kinds have mofe in a steady parade for twenty years. One of the biggest and most shocking ones concernd lrctatoes, purchascd in vast quantities from the farmer just to line his pockets and keep high the price of potatoes; but denied as food to a hungry world; all to help the farmer. Right now, it's butter. Our Constitution declares that dl men are created equal; but in the last two decades we have added this line: except farmers. Citizens of other prcrsuasions have cried aloud countless times those words of Scripture-"Am I my brother's keeper?" And the answer withheld until the last two decades, has Fnally come: "If he is a farmer, you sure are !"

Of course, it's legal. Years ago, Congress decided that the farmer must become a government ward, and be government protected. To make certain that fariners would get high prices for their products, they enacted a price support program. This program works in two ways, one the outright purchase of surpluses, the second through a loan program. Under the latter the farmer takes a government "loan"-ion't laugh, Mr. Taxpayer! What have you got to laugh at? The loan is on certain crops, such as wheat or corn. If the market rises higher than the loan price, the farmer sells his product, pays off the loan, and keeps the profit. If it drops and the loan is called, he simply lets the government take it over.

As a result of these J" :J" of support for farmers, the government now owns almost all the butter in the country, together with shocking quantities of other farm products. It owns about one hundred million pounds of butter, and vast amounts of other eatables such as han, bacon, turkeys, cheese; it owns corn, and cotton and wheat in vast quantities, also. Recent estimates indicate that the government today has investments and commitments for farm products running at least to one billion dollars, and maYbetwo' * * *

And today the press of the nation is well headlined with the vital question: "What are we going to do about it?" We have some rays of light, we taxpayers. Judging from his remarks and writings before becoming President, there is every reason to believe that Ike is "agin" a lot of this stuff. And now, we have a new Secretary of Agriculture named Ezra Benson who is struggling with one of the

biggest economic jobs in history; how to get this something-for-nothing monstrosity moving back toward economic sanity. He frankly thinks the system is bad. He thinks the butter makers have priced themselves out of the market, priced a lot of substitutes into the market, and priced the American taxpayer in general and the American housewife in particular, into a hell of a mess. Same is true of other commodities, such as wool, cotton and others. ***

If you are not a farmer nor one who carries a torch for the farmers of the nation, you will probably ask and continue to ask what part of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the Ten Commandments put the farmers into one economic basket, and the rest of the nation into another? You will want to know the why of a lot of these things'

*< * r.

The fact is that nations, like individuals, get into jams a step at a time. This nation is definitely in a jam with regard to price controls of farm products. ft never dreamed in the beginning of the farm subsidy business that the present mess could ever happen. A subsidy is an emergency; or at least it was always supposed to be until now.

A Good Russian Gag

Paul Hoculi, of the Houston Press, relates this one.

An official of one of Russia's captive nations was in Moscow for the funeral of Stalin, and Malenkov asked him how things were in his home country.

"Wonderful," said the visiting stooge. "Ilnder the great leadership of Moscow, our peasants are having to work twenty hours a day to harvest the wonderful potato crop. And when it is al1 harvested, the pile of potatoes will reach right uo to the feet of God."

"Enough of such talk," sternly said Malenkov. "You know there is no God."

Allan E. Boal, Jr., rvill succeed Nt-rlen }lills as Los Angelcs district sales manager for Plys'ood Los -\ngeles, Inc. IIc l.ras been identified u'ith the organization for the past livc lears colering a portion of the Southern California lcrritroy. He returned last vear from Kore:r follou'ing his sccorrrl "hitch" u'ith the armed forces ()\'er seas.

"And no potatoes," added the visitor. ***

And then there's the one about the Russian grand opera singer who recently arrived in this country, and who exclaimed:

"What a relief not to have to sing through my nose any longer !"

Someone asked:

"But why should you have to sing through your nose?"

"In Russia," he replied, "you should open your mouth?"

Russ &lmonston, genial manager of I)iamond "\\"' Supply Company. of \rernon. California. completed &i vears u'ith the E. K. \\'ood lumber organization last month. His lumber experience dates back four decades. as he started rvorking rvith rvood products s'lren he completed his schooling back in 1912.

Lynn Boyd, of Pampa, Texas, one of the great stalu'arts in the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, and recently Supreme Snark of the Order, has taken on himself a ne'tv atrd tremendous job. \Vhat that job is he explains very fullv in a letter addressed to the publisher of this journal, rvhich we reprint in full. He u'ants to hear from lumbermen evervwhere on the subject, so that he may formulate a report to the annual Hoo-Hoo convention next September. Here is what he has to say:

"f have been appointed a committee of one, b1' the Supreme Nine of Hoo-Hoo, to explore the possibility of building a headcluarters building, made of u'ood as much as possible, and to select the proper city for such a building.

"Hoo-Hoo now has close to 12,ffi0 paid up memberships, and is in good shape financially; but, the amount of dues received rvill not justify any expenditure on the proposed building.

"Since accepting this appointrhent by the Supreme Nine as a one rnan committee to explore this idea among members of the industry, I have had a lot of dreams about u'hat this could amount to if we could get the *'l.rolehearted support of the lumber manufacturers of different species of wood. It appears to me that u'e have really got something to talk about, and something that would give more favorable publicity to the industry, than we have ever had on any previous project. We know that the manufacturers spend many thousands of dollars each year promoting wood products, and the different associations such as Yel-

lorv Pine, Fir. Ponderosa, etc., promoting their particular product.

"I rvant vou to think this over and give me your ideas, as rvell as publicitv in vour journal, and rvould like to have reactions from all rvho might be interested, to u'rite me personally so that I l'ill be able to present the matter to the Supreme Nine l'hen n'e meet in September.

"I am thinking of a building, say located in Chicago, as that city is more centrally located than any other, and many lumbermen pass through Chicago, more so than any other city that I can think of, and a building rvith displa;,'s of rvood products of all kinds that would be open to the public, and could be a meeting place for lumbermen; and, of course, headquarters for Hoo-Hoo. Since Hoo-Hoo represents all branches of the industry, I think it is proper that they should take the lead in this matter, and I feel sure that the Hoo-Hoo Clubs scattered over this United States could certainly raise a lot of money themselves, but am inclined to believe that the big money rvould need to come from the difierent manufacturers' associations. This project could evidently be made a non-profit corporation, and it is quite possible that the funds donated could be a charge off.

"Please give this proposed project lots of publicity in your journal, and let's hope for favorable reaction from the industry.

SincerelY, Lvnn Bovd"

Read The Advertisements

Advertisements are kindly thoughts, created for your benefit.

Ever think of them that way?

The business of living is in reality simply the business of thinking. A human mind is like a lake. It must have both inlet and outlet.

Each of us is continually developing ideas of our own, and swapping them for the thoughts of others. If there is a famine of incoming ideas, we shrivel up. Children with "no one to play with" are unhappy and unmanageable.

The originator of an idea is not much better off than before until he gets others to enjoy it, absorb it, and benefit by it.

From thinking with our heads to doing with our hands is but a little step; and then our thoughts become things.

It is because the people of America are so unfettered in their thinking and doing that this country is so fine a place to work in; and it is because these thoughts are so freely radiated and spread broadcast in the distribution of manufactured things and in the distribution of facts concerning them (ADVERTISING), that this country is so fine a place to live in.

The advertisements in the newspapers and magazines are thoughts, telling you of the things that other men and women have developed for your happiness.

Hordwoods!

READ THE ADS ! They are the voices of hun&eds of thousands of mills, of machines, looms, shops, studios, laboratories, where millions of minds are turning pleasant thoughts into things worth while, for YOUR comfort and advantage.

IUr. l'arker's opening remarks follorv:

The 36th Annual Meeting and Trade Shon' of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association rvas held at the Hotel Statler, Los Angeles, on April 7, 8 and 9, 1953. There was a record attendance of over 2000.

The convention program was built around current industry problems rvith emphasis placed on improved metl.rods of profitable merchandising.

Tuesday Morning

-fhe officers and directors met at breakfast in the Nerv York Room at 8:00 a.m. and elected officers.

Ralph N. Baker, vice president and general rrranager of the Barr Lumber Co., Santa Ana, rvas elected president. He succeeds E. C. Parker, president of the Patten-Blinn Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

Other officers named were: Vice presidents, B. W. Bartels( re-elected), Peoples Lumber Co., Ventura, and \\'ayne F. Nlullin, Mullin Lumber Co., Los Angeles; treasurer, C. Gilmore Ward (re-elected), Ward & Harrington Lumber Co., Santa Ana. Orrie W. Hamilton lvas re-elected executive vice president and secretary-manager.

"The first convention of this Association rvas held in 1913. and has been held each vear, except during trvo rvorld s'ars rvhen tlre shortages of food and other such reasons prevented us from holding them. The conventions of forty vears ago \\'ere a far cry from this one in 1953, being held in one of the ne\\'est and most modern hotels in the nation. The difference in the addresses and the entertainment rvill be just as striking. ()ur Secretarv has secured 6ve of the best speakers from all over the nation to address you at our meetings, and has obtained some of the best entertainers this entertainment capital affords. Our convention *'ill be the culmination of a full vear of planning and rvork on the part of our efficient Secretary. \\'e are ven- appreciatite of the support given us by the rrholesale group, some of s'hom have taken associate memberships. Others have placed exhibits at our convention, or have advertised in our Year Book. The support of the retailers and the rvholesalers nrakes such a convention as this possible.

"I should like to mention verv briefly a ferv of the accomplishments of 1'our Association since our last meeting in April oI 1952. For tlre first time in many years we compiled a cost survev of our industry for the years l95O and 1951. This is a very important step in the stabilization efforts of our Association. All the figures rvere compiled by our Secretarl', and it is nry opinion that the form and substance of the report Nas as good as could have been compiled by any professional accounting 6rm. We are now in the process of compiling a cost survey for the year 1952. \Ve inaugurated during the vear a series of monthly meetings at rvhich problems affecting lumbermen rvere discussed, and because of those meetings tve put into motion a program to tr.v to get manufacturers to change the grading rules and market our lumber under name grades instead of number grades. A committee composed of some of the best informed and experienced men in the industry has already accomplished much. This program is another important step in our stabilization eftorts.

During the vear your Association set up a program (Continued on Page 20)

whereby health and u'elfare insurance for all oflice employees can be obtained reasonably. It is administered in orrr -\ssociation office. The program \\'as coordinated l'ith a separate program for our yard 'rvorkers. The Association has also set up programs of group Compensation and Accident Insurance and lJnemployment Disabilitv Insurance, making it possible for companies u'ith a feu- employees to l.rave the same advantages as companies u'ith manr- employees. \ great deal of time and effort has been spent bv your Secretary in contacts rn'ith Sales Tax and Transportation Tax authorities trying to get certain regulation not in the ir.rterest of lumbermen changed. State legislation of one form or another is the constant concern of your Secretary and necessitates numerous trips to Sacramento. We have also appointed a committee to rvork rvith the Public Utilities Con-rnrission and rvith the railroads in an endeavor to have cars properlv loaded so as to save all dealers many dollars in thc unloading of each car.

"I u'ill not burden you rvith the day by dav activities of your Associatidn. Among many other things in a busy da1', a grcat cleal of contact work is done by your Secretary with building inspection departments, State, County and City Oflicials and others. There are many things that an administrative official can rightfullv do for an association representilrg an industry, that he cannot do for an individual companv.

"Your Association is a strong supporter of the National Retail Lumbermen's Association u'hich n,atches national legislation affecting lumbermen, and advises s'ith and informs the many Federal agencies of the problems of the retail lurnber industry, and functions in many other \\avs in the interest of lumbermen. Your Association has strong representation on the National Board lty trvo of our fornter presiderrt. \Ir. I'ark Arnold and I\Ir. Tom Fox.

"The lumber inclustry in Southern California needs stabilization, and there is no influence greater in this regard than this ^\ssociation. It is my opinion that 1'ou orve it to yourseh'es, to your stockholders, and to your companies to belong to this Association and influence others to belong. It is organized and ready immediately to help s'hen problems arise. \\rith a continuance of your support, our Association and its capable Secretary can continue to help lumbermen throughout Southern California and can strive to do er-en more in.the year ahead."

Lathrop K. Leishman, president, Crorvn City Lumber & Mill Co., Pasadena, presided at the business session.

Fddie Baker presided at the organ. Entertainment was by Roberta Linn who sang several pleasing numbers and by I\lvron Floren, accordionist. Both these artists appear with the Larvrence Welk's popular orchestra.

Robert A. Whitney, president, National Sales Executives, Inc., Nerv York, N.Y., was the speaker. His subject rvas "Selling and Developing Markets for Your Products." A revolution is going on in the distribution of goods in this country, he said, and the nation is changing its buying habits. The self-service store, which started in Los Angeles, is spreading all over the nation, and more goods are being sold through vending machines.

He declared norv, and for months ahead, is the time for lumbermen to give serious thought to their selling habits. Modernize your yards and study the methods applied by

vour o\\'n sales staff. He rvas sure that lumber. being one of the more important products of our econom)', rvould be merchandised like other commodities to nteet competition.

IIr. \\'hitnev predicted a national increase in sales volume this 1'ear. It u'ill probabl-v be a small one. but a solid one, he said. It s'ill be solid because there s'ill probabl-v be a reduction in'rnilitarv production and a su'ing to consumer goods.

Tuesday Evening-Trade Show

There \\'as a large attendance at a public shorring of the Equipment and Products Exhibit in the Sierra Room, Exhibit -{,rea, and I'acific Ballroom at 7:30 p.m. Ben \\'. Bartels, Peoples Lumber Co., \rentura, \\'as chariman of the evening. The Tyrolian Troubadors furnished the music featuring "Frost-r' Frolics."

Wednesday Morning

Thomas J. Fox, president, John \\'. Fisher Lumber Co., Santa Jlonica, presided at the Dealers Breakfast Conierence in the Los Angeles Room.

The first speaker tvas President Everett C. Parker. s'hose subject u'as "Stabilization and Related Probtems." His address rr'ill appear in the Ilat- l5 issue.

The next speaker u'as Gerrv F. Hoppe, sales promotion manager, Insulite Division. \Iinnesota & Ontario Paper Co., Ilinneapolis, flinn. His subject *.as "Luckv YouFour Leaves To Profit."

\\'ithin the past l5 vears the building materials dealer has become one of the leading merchants in -\merican business, IIr. Hoppe stated.

He told delegates that "the building material dealer has moved from dos'n b1' the tracks up to main street, and in many instances, out on the main hightvay. And his modern store and rrrodern merchandising place him in an enviable position in retail selling. The records shos. that the buiiding material dealers led all sales groups in increased sales rolume betn'een 1939 and 1950. For that period sales volume for the industry rose 342 per cent---or 110 per cent more than the next group, retail sales."

As an industrl-, average sales per dealer are surpassed onl.r' bv retail stores and motor vehicle dealers, Hoppe said. He further stated that the building materials industry ranks sixth among all selling industries, rvith food, motor vehicles, general merchandising, eating and drinking, and apparel running ahead. In the rise to business rvorld prominence, the a.i'erage building material dealer more than doubled his products. "Toda1', the average dealer handles 97 prodtrcts as compared rvith 1O in 1937."

In addition to this increased number of products the building material dealer of today has plenty of competition, Hoppe said. "He is competing rvith appliance shops. furniture stores, automobile dealers, mail order houses and applicators."

Hoppe said studies made bv his company. manufacturers of Insulite insulation board products, shorv that successful dealers spend ll percent of sales on advertising. "Nervspaper advertising has proled to be more than trvice as

effective as any other advertising medium and less costly."

Rex Clark, chairman of the Association's Grading Rules Committee, told the delegates that he attended the annual meeting of the \\rest Coast Lumbermen's Association at Portland, Ore., in March and urged them to adopt the simplified grading rules now under consideration. H. V. Simpson, executive vice prgsident of the \\rest Coast organization, stated that this matter u'ould be taken up at their district meetings during April and I\{ay.

Fred Holmes, president of Holmes Eureka Lumber Co., San Francisco, and president of the California Association ,of Timber Truckers, stated that the Interim Comrr.rittee of the California I-egislature had approved a group of bills regarding log trucking in California u'hich his committee is in favor of and asked the lumbermen for their support.

He told horv important log trucking is to the lumber industry of California, especially Southern California. Trucking affects all California including the Redrvood, Pine and Fir industries, and the 75,M employees it takes to produce this lumber. The value of this production is about $500,000,000. Timber trucking is the key to this production, Mr. Holmes said.

Wednesday Noon-Business Luncheon

President E. C. Parker opened the meeting and introduced Dr. Paul F. Heubner, minister, First I\Iethodist Church, Inglewood, who gave the invocation.

Rex Clark, executive vice president and manager of the Consolidated Lumber Company, Wilmington, presided at the business session.

Entertainment was provided by the l\{iramba N'[en'r' Makers-Emil Farnl-und. teacher and director.

The speaker was Dr. Alonzo Baker, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, College of the Pacific, Stockton, Calif., his subject being "What's Ahead for American Business."

Dr. Baker discussed world affairs lvith particular reference to China and Russia. His stimulating address covered the economic situation as it exists betrveen rvar and peace in Korea. His ideas regarding the effect complete peace in

Asia rvould have on the lumber and building materials business throughout the United States s-as rvell received by the lumbermen.

He stated that under present existing conditions over a million homes u'ould be constructed in 1953. Should the conflict in Korea come to a close this spring, or early summer, he predicted a minimum of l,2Z7,O(fr homes rrould be completed before the end of the year. He based this prediction on the demands of home-coming G.I.'s for housing as a large number of them n'ould immediately marry. He rvarned the lumbermen to be optimistic and declared pessimism rvould create disastrous and harmful influences to national and rvorld econom]'.

Wednesday Evening

The annual banquet u'as held in the Pacific Ballroom. President E. C. Parker presided and introduced H- Park Arnold, Fox-Woodsum Lumber Co., Glendale. as chairman. During the dinner, music rvas furnished by Kerekjarto and his Continental Ensemble.

The speaker lrias Dr. Kenneth llcFarland, Educational Consultant and Lecturer for General Motors, Topeka, Kansas. lle talked on "Fathoming the Fifties."

"-{merica's greatest sin todav is indilTerence." he told the lumbermen. "\\'e should not be afraid of Communists, left-n'ingers, crackpots," said Dr. McFarland. "\\'e have them prettv u'ell catalogued. \\'e can flush them out l'hen we want to.

"The people u'e should fear are the good people. those rvho believe in the right things, belong to the right thingsbut never do anything about tl.rem.

"It is becoming increasingly clear that technical and economic gains are not enough. Never ltefore have s'e had so much wealth per capita. Never have n'e been so physrcally comfortable. Yet u'e have never lived under such tensions. Never before have so manv people occupied hospital beds for the mentally ill. Ner-er have u'e felt so insecure.

"Too many people believe that solving the nation's economic problems rvill solve evervthing. To sav people have no other problems is fantastic."

Dr. I\[cFarland said: "One of the curses of our time is the insatiable desire to have fun. Too manv people are

having fun in bars ever-r' night. never knorving the happiness oi saving for a nes' home. Thev prefer the fun of being the best dancer on the floor to the happiness of being the best salesman on the floor."

The ansu'er. he continued. is not an,\' economic revision but "education of the heart" so that people can distinguish betrveen happiness and fun.

Executile Vice I'resident Orrie \\-. Hamilton, s'ho made all the arrangements for the convention. \\'as asked to stand and he received a fine round of applause.

Bate Celebrates 40th Year

On the occasion of its 4oth year in the lumber business the J. Herbert Bate Co., of Neu' York Citl' has just issued a folder "Our Fortieth Year."

This folder reflects the slow, solid gro*'th of the business over the past forty years and portrays graphically its modern efficient mills and describes the lumber products of each.

Having entered the rvholesale lumber ltusiness back in 1899, J. Herbert Bate has become, over the years, a s'ell known and venerated figure on the Nerr York lumber scenc and is a director of the Nerv York Lumber Trade Association.' He is still the active president of the firm he founded in 7914, the J. Herbert Bate Co., Inc. r,vith headquarters at 30 Church St., Nerv York City.

When the Second World War shut off the sl-ripment of lumber by rvater the company lvas hard pressed to supply many of its,customers and it hastened to acquire additional mills 'ivhich 'ivould assure it of a steady supply of good lumber by rail. Follorving the establishment of the rvestern mills an office rvas opened in Portland.

The folder u,ill be 3f particular interest to lumber retailers because it shor.r's what lumber products the Rate companies manufacture-products for rvhich they can be relied on as a dependable source of supply.

A copv, or copies of this interesting folder may be obtained by rvriting to Bate Lumber Company, IOJ Public Scrvice Building, Portland, Oregon.

Southwestern Portland Cement Company A New Baby with Four Fathcrs Expanding Operations

The Southwestern Portland Cement Companl' reports continuation of its plan to expand production of Portland Cement at its Victorville, California, plant.

This expansion plan delayed during the rvar and the early post-war period due to difficulties of acquisition of nerv machinery, \vas begun three years ago, and has already added materially to its cement producing capacity.

An Old Fashioned American

An "old fashioned American" is one who stands on his own feet, earns his own living, provides for his own future, looks after his own people, and is beholden to neither government, man, or devil for his support; who accepts neither largesse, gifts, subsidies, or special privileges from anybody.

He still believes, just as men did before the philosophy of tax, spend, waste, and elect came along, that man gets along in this world, not by an act of Congress, but by his own industry, character, abilitn persevernnce, ambition, sticktoitiveness, and courageous love of liberty, and that all government is for is to provide a protective framework

in which he can live, and wor\ and produce, and achieve the things he longs for.

Save us from the cowardly smirk of agreement when we don't agree at dl ! Probably the greatest need of ttis nation today is free and open expression of opinion by honest men without axes to grind, on subjects most vitd to us. This is no time for me-too-ism, for that is the road to despair and ruin. Speak your mind with "words as bard as cannon balls"; write your opinions, be an artictrlate American, and protest until the heavens fall against thc things you believe to be wrong for thesc Unitcd States.

Supine agreement with things we abhor is ttre broad highway to sl,avery.

Army Estimates Forest Holdings At 1.8 Million Acres

Washington, D.C.-A preliminary investigation-the first phase of a new Army forest management program-places total Army forest land at about 1.8 million acres. Previous estimates have.run as high as two million acres.

The study was conducted by Cyril B. Webster u'ho rvas appointed forester for the Corps of Engineers late last year.

Webster told representatives of the National Lumbel X{anufacturers Association that about 60 per cent of the 1.8 million acres is classed as merchantable timber, capable of yielding either sawlogs, poles or pulpwood.

Webster said no detailed plan of action has been formulated for the neu' forest manag'ement program. He explained that he is still gathering basic forest inventorv data on area, condition of stands, and potential yield by type of rar,v materials and volume.

After this work is completed, Webster is expected to recommend management plans and policies for the Armyolvned stands.

Webster pointed out that past records of timber cutting on Army lands show annual production of only about 3O board feet per acre in the form of sarvlogs, pulprvood, poles, fuel. etc.

The forestry expert disclosed shortly after his appointment that he hopes the Pentagon eventually rvill bring the management of all armed forces timber land under the control of a single forestry department.

North ernCalifornia Dealers Hold Annual Convention At Yosemite National Park

Russ Stevens Elected President

The Lumber l\Ierchants Association of Northern California held their l3th Annual Convention at the Ahrvanhee Hotel, Yosemite National Park, April 13 and 14. There rvere about 280 members and their rvives n'ho registered. The rveather was ideal for the time ol the year, and a wonderful time rvas enjoyed by all, along u'itl-r some most informative and inspiring speeches.

Provision r,vas made for the ladies for sight-seeing, bridge,

for it rvas seven vears ago that he addressed them at Pleasanton.

The theme of Lieutenant Governor Goods'in Knight's address rvas, s'hat is not good for California and rvhat is good. \\rhat is not good. he declared, is more government in business-the opening rvedge for socialism. The rvelfare state is the seductive banner under which this ideology creeps in, he said.

canasta and teas. They also attended the business sessions and dinner dances in the evening and enjoyed rvith the men a very fine entertainment program rvhich clirnaxed on the evening of the banquet u'ith a variety shotv composed of talent brought from San Francisco.

At the board of directors meeting Russ ,Stevens, A. F. Stevens Lumber Co. of Healdsburg, rvas elected president of the Association. Charles Shepard, of Friend & Terry Lumber Co., Sacramento, was elected vice president. Everett King, King Lumber Co., Bakersfield, rvas re-elected treasurer. and Jack F. Pomeroy, executive vice-president, re-elected.

Mondav morning u'as the period of registration aqd the time to greet old friends. After lunch President I. E. Horton, South City Lumber Co., South San Francisco, opened the meeting with a speech in rvhich he thanked the assembled members for their cooperatoin during his administration, assuring his hearers that with continued enthusiastic support the Lumber Merchants Association 's'ould continue to grorv and prosper.

Mr. Horton then turned tl.re meeting oler to Wendell Robie, Auburn Lumber Co., Auburn, rvho introduced the guest of honor. Mr. Robie told the assembled retailers that Hon. Goodrvin Knight, Lieutenant Governor of the State of California, was not unknolvn to their group as a speaker,

At one time, he said, he rvas called upon by a college president to sav a good rvord for business men. The students had been so conditioned by the radical teachings of the day that thev looked dorvn on competition, capitalism and private initiative, but he did his best to defend what he knerv was good, and u'hich furnished the very livelihood through taxes of their detractors.

The greatest good for California is more and more things for more people, and this can be accomplished only through the system of private enterprise and less government in business. He spoke neither as a Republican nor as a Democrat but for rvhat he thought to be the best interest of the people.

pilecl and illustrated. They rvere, in brief. first to dii'ersifl', carr\- as complete as possible a stock of .hardu-are, paint, plyl'ood and accessories as well as lumber. Second, it u'as knot'-hou'. Find out u'hat people l'ant. and then the l>est lvav to present it to them. Use the best means of advertising, of n'inning friencls and customers. Furnish serr-ices 'ivhich help the customers to solve their probletns of repairs, painting ar.rcl improvenrents. Third. brrildings and facilities must be expanded to 1>rovide for a gron'ing business. Keep stocks expar-rding to meet the increasing clernar.rd u'hich the retailers prornotion elTorts s'ill bring'about. Locate on the best highu'ay ancl u-here there is room for grou-th. Never be static in one's thinking. Fourth, :rntl most important of all-go home and clo something about it.

XIr. Hoppe reminded his listeners that the lumber and building nraterial lrusiness is in the sixth largest group in the country, has increased 34O per cent or-er the 1935-50 period. ancl that brrilding sales exceed agriculture.

J. H. Kirk, Kirk Lumber and Materials Co., Santa Nfaria, opene<l the meeting aiter lunch on Tuesdav bv introducing the nel' president, Russ Stevens, and other oflrcers. trIr. Stevens then took over and introduced the first speaker of the clav, Ed Gavin, editor of the American lluilder. Chicago.

"For the first time in r-nany )'ears, as a result of the reccnt election, business 'rvill l.rave a chance to stand on its ou'n feet," I\Ir. Gavin began. His subject l'as "Nerv Horizons to \Iore Sales." He came out strong against all the nloves in government that s'ould lead to socialism. inclucling public housing and other controls and subsidies. llut he could not blame the government entrielv for the trend. In the panic and depression s'hich follou'ed the stock market break in 193, business u'ent crf ing for help to \\-ashington and got paternalisn.r and regulation. He hoped that business ancl the nel' generation u'ould not do it again.

There l'as a feeling that rvhen Eisenhou'er became President all n'ould be t'ell. Things have not happened as fast as some \\'ould like, but changes don't take place in a dav. It n'ill take the ne\\' administration at least tr-o vears to accornplish its objectives, \{r. Gavin predicted. but business no'n', horverter, has a chance to stand on its ou'n feet.

After the World \\'ar ended in 1918, he said. the birth rate \\'as the greatest in its history. During \\-orld \\rar II there 'rvas little home building. The post-\\'orld War II demand for housing n'as the result of this population increase. The decreased birth late of the depression vears in the early thirties may slorv dorvn the need for homes during 195.1 to 1960 to a possible 700,000 per -vear, but the high birth rate of the early forties u'ill bring about a big demand of i,500,000 new homes per )'ear t'hen this nes' population reaches the marriageable age in 1960, and rvill continue on to 1990.

In looking ahead, the retail lumber merchant. IIr. Gavin warned, should not only examine the credit of the contractor and builder, but that he must insist on his proper margin o{ profit. The builder may threaten the retailer that he s'ill open l.ris os'n vard, but he u'ould find in turn that he needs that margin to keep his doors open. \\'hat the retailer must learn is to follou. the example of the auton.robile manufacturer, the clothing merchant. and others who create business by obsolescence through a change in

stvles. The changes rnade in these lines are in nrere details; r-et 1leo1>le n'ill buv a ne\\- suit or a ne\\' auton-robile for the st-r'le alone and not because of rvear.

The home building industrv, on the other hand. tells the \-()unL couple that the nes' home is the most important bu'r' irr their lives ancl that the-v rvill have it a long time. IJut there are great changes constantlr' happening in the building and 1>lanning of homes. and people could be sold on obsolescence. to look for the neu'model in homes every vear. Air conditioning, nen' designs for reirigerators. ne\\ rnaterials and the gron-ing necessit-r' for alterations as a resrrlt of these changes offer great possibilities of gros'ing llusiness for the future. Too much of American industrv is u'edcled to the I')uropean economv. the idea of building in stone and for permanence. trfr. Gavin said. Let this corrntrv be built on the idea of change and capitalize on it.

To insure progress in the building industrv. and retail lunrbcr nrerchants in particular. the trade association is needecl. Ever,v one felt its necessitv during the rvar. r'hen countless regulations and restrictions had to be studied and applied. With the nerv administration and its relaxing oi all this. manl- might not feel the necessitv of an association. but in the long run it is onlv through the association that the irrdustr)' can survive and prosper. In Jack Pomerol' the I-un.rber llerchants -\ssociation of Northern California has a brilliant Ieader. I)on't accept the idea that vou have reached the limits of vour gros'th. \\-e, as a people. have just scratched the surface of our possibilities. Let us stand on the grouncl and look at the stars. and tomorrorv stand on this neu' ground of our earlier vision and look be-vond. IIr. Gavin concluded.

The r.rext speaker introduced n'as Everett \\'ilson. director of public relations, National Retail Lumber Dealers -\ssociation. \\-ashington. D.C. He repeated the thought expressecl bv the previous speaker that the Eisenhorver administration had not as ;-et had a chance to do anvthing big. rrhich seemed to be expected. .\t least business is no longer branded as the bad boy of previous administrations. but has beconre respectable and assured of a fair hearing at all times. There is no serious legislation pending at the present time. brrt it is expected that FHA and \:A interest rates l'ill be adjusted and that in this respect things should s'ork out l'ell. The pressure is for higher interest rates and lou'er don'n pa-r'ments, and the Association rvill probabl'r' go along n'ith it. \\'hile in the past support for the "no" r'ote u'as needed from the -\ssociation in opposing legislation, the "-ves" r'ote l'ill be needed nos'. The National -\ssociation at \\'ashington not onlv has to inform menrbers on the progress and character oi nerv legislation, but after the bill is passed has to study horv it is to be administered. The Association has to make sure that the administration of the nerv larv, good in itself. does not in its application lead to trouble for the dealer. For example. ]Ir. \\-ilson said. there have been six people rvorking in \\'ashington for the last several years to trv and prove that retailers are all rvholesalers so that thev can bring them under the provisions of the minimum \\'age la\\'.

The National Association is behind all the trade promotion efforts of the dealers. The trIinute I\[an program rrhich callecl for one dealer in a tos'n to see that the local nervs-

papers received the news releases of the Nati<lnal Association proved very successful. Great interest u'as generated in public relations contests on the part of dealers, rvhich had as their object the publicizing of any outstanding rvork done by dealers. Good merchandising in the end is good public relations. The 5 per centers. in \\Iashington u'ent under the guise of public relations. It is very desirable to have the public on your side, and to be able to distinguish sound public relations and the objectives of the lumber retailer.

Other u'ork of the National Association is not onlv informing the employer of all that tvill improve his llusiness. llut furnishing a plan for the training of emplovees. These clTorts l.rave brought about a great resp()nse fronr employers. Tl.rey want to know horr' to start the trairring programs, about group meetings, study guides, n.rerchandising planning and the text books and materials for the classes.

I\Ir. Wilson said the National Association is also rvorking on plans to improve advertising material for the dealers. They are trying to find out what the customer u'ants and the appeals to which he responds. \\'here there are not enough funds in the treasury to carry on the rvork, the National Association tries to induce producers of this material to promote it at their own expense. There i3 no better public relations than to have the employer and employee alike knorv how to serve the public lletter.

Sea Swirl Adaptable For Church Interiors "stickee Staystuck" Goes to Work For Wood Laminators

\\'ashington-A nes- cartoon character, "Stickee Sta.vstuck," has gone to u'ork for the rvood laminating industries to help them get the best results rvith modern glues and laminating techniques.

"Stickee Stavstuck" is the ke;- figure in a series of cartoon posters, featuring "do's and dont's" for successful marine laminating, issued rveeklv by Timber Engineering Conrpanv, affiliate of National Lumber llanufacturers Association, as a sen'ice to the industry.

Unique New Lumber Handbook

The West Coast l-umbermen's Association is olTering a new service to lumbermen in the form of a "Handbook for Lumber Offices" n'ritten for the untrained employee who is a stranger to the ways and language of the lumber trade.

'I'he chapter headings indicate the scope of the material : "llorv l-umber is Distributed," "f-umber Grading," "How to Figure and Invoice Lumber," "Methods of Quoting," "Glossary of Terms," "Commonly Used l-umber Abbreviations," an<1 "Names of Commercial Timbers."

\Vhile the glossary itself is probably the most ambitious ever prep:rred by the lumber industry, it is even more unique because of the inclusion of each word as it appears in shorthand. This feature was prepared by the Gregg Publishers and is authoritative. The commercial timbers listing also includes the shorthand feature.

Tlre charge to lumber offices for this 32 page "Handbook" is $1.00 per copy payable with the order to West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.
