Roy Borto Pulls Down the Blinds Furnifuremen Approve TECO Reseqrch On Over 5() Yeors Lumbering

Roy Barto grew up in northern Idaho and, like most boys raised in timbered country, ran the usual course of working in sawmills and logging camps with seasonal diversions on log drives and cruising timber.

In 1908 he joined the U.S. Forest Service as a Forest Ranger. He transferred to Alaska in 1911, and again transferred to the Philippine Bureau of Forestry in 1914, where his duties caused him to visit practically all of the islands in the archipelago.

Roy resigned from the Bureau of Forestry in 1916 to conduct timber investigations of large and generally unexplored tracts licensed to private companies. In 1918 he was employed by the CadwalladerGibson Co. as railroad surveyor and steadily advanced to the position of general superintendent, having charge of all mill logging camps and shipping.

He was made president of Cadwallader-Gibson Co., Inc., with head offices in Los Angeles in t9D, and continued in that position until 1943. When the war started, Cadwallader-Gibson, like all other foreign concerns, was a war casualty and, in line with government policy, was liquidated.

Roy, with trvo of his assistants in the CadwalladerGibson organization-George B. Beckman and James W. Mcleod-immediately formed the Mahogany Importing Company, as successors to Cadwallader-Gibson, with himself as president, rvhich position he filled until April 7, l9it4.

Roy is now retired-completely, intensively, and permanently-and is moving to his home at Potlach, Washington, (which is located on Hoods Canal) where he has learned from two years' experience, that hunting, fishing, and sailing can be happily substituted for hard work.

James W. (Jim) Mcleod has assumed control of the Mahogany Importing Co. and will continue to service their customers as usual.

Washington-Color stabilization of light finished furniture has been continued as a major project of furnitfure manufacturers participating in the hardwood research program at the laboratory of Timber Engineering Company, according to C. A. Rishell, director of research.

Preventing light finished woods from turning dark is the goal of both household and office furniture manufacturers. Progress in the studies, started last year at the Teco laboratory, resulted in further work being approved by the furniture subcommittee of the NMLA Hardwood Research Committee at its recent annual meeting.

The studies have developed that the darkening is in the wood itself, and is caused by the sunlight's ultraviolet rays penetrating the finish. There have been cases, however, of darkening occuring in the lacquer or other finish used on the furniture.

Stabilization of light color tones is being achieved at the laboratory by combining ultraviolet ray absorbers with high quality finishing material. Both domestic and foreign furniture woods are included in the tests that subje,ct a variety of absorbers and finishes to long duration exposure to sunlight.

The furniture group also approved additional Teco studies to develop methods for eliminating or controlling sunken glue joints. In addition, they are considering expanding the furniture research program to include other product improvement projects, such as increased wear resistance of finishes and veneers: dimensional stabilization; uniform coloring or bleaching of red and sap gum; and standards for furniture finishes similar to those established by the Maple Flooring Manufacturing Association, for which Timber Engineering is the official testing agency.
