CBS-TV Gomerqs Poy Visil ro lO7-Yeor-Old N. Y. Lumberyord

Cross, Austin & Ireland, 107-year old lumber company, played host to a television program on Sunday, March 31, when the CBS public affairs children's show, "Let's Take a Trip," took one of its weekly half-hour trips to this 25-acre lumber yard and mill in the heart of metropolitan New York. Viewers in 94 cities between New York and San Francisco saw at first hand how the lumber that goes into their homes, schools, furniture, etc., arrives by water from the timberlands and is taken off lighters by booms, placed on automatic rollers and transported to the mill area. Brtzz and rip saws were demonstrated and the television audience also got a look at chemical treatment which renders the planks fireproof.

In business since 1850, Cross, Austin furnished the lumber for all the docks and piers of the New York waterfront, the wood which backed up the iron on the famous "ironclad" Monitor of Civil War fame, scaffolding used in constructing the TV antenna on top of the Empire State building, the planking which covered excavations for New York's oldest subway, as well as its newest, and all the structures of the 1939-40 New York World's Fair. Right now the firm is busy shipping lumber to the South Pole for Operation: Deepfreeze.

To host the half-hour television program and its preparations was a job of almost equal stature. The yard was in partial operation for four hours on the Saturday morning of the telecast weekend so that Cross, Austin employes could rehearse with the cast. Then it opened up again on Sunday morning at 2 a.m. so the CBS field crew could bring in the half-dozen cameras needed, set them up, attach the mile or more of cable and connect the lines, a three-orfour-hour job that had to be completed by 6 a.m. when the show cast and Cross, Austin performers began the final round of rehearsals, this time before the cameras.

Ilost on this visit to Cross, Austin was its president, Colonel T. Brvan Williams.

Wesfern Pine Assn. Honors Veteron Lumber Groders

Two veteran western pine lumber inspectors, Vern Johnson and Jack Stewart, widely known in the industry, were among four long-time staff members honored for long service records at the amual Western Pine Association meeting in San Francisco, March 9.

Johnson, chief of the association's grading bureau since 1929, joined the staff 37 years ago. He heads a staff of 29 lumber inspectors charged with maintaining grade standards for the 440 producing mills of the association. More than 27/o of. the nation's softwood lumber production comes from the Western Pine mills.

J. W. (Jack) Stewart came west in l9l4 from Wisconsin and Minnesota, where his father was a logger. In his 38 years of grading, some 100,000,000 feet has passed under his critical eye. He continues in active service, with residence at Spokane, Wash., but almost always "on the road," checking grades at producing mills or working in the East on inspection assignments.

The two others, given recognition for long service with the association are Mrs. Alene Freeman, cashier-bookkeeper, 34 years, and Hugh A. Gillis, traffic manager, 30 years.
