Take the long, tough 6bres in the core of Celotex cane 6bre building products, for example. These closely-woven fibres imprison millions of tiny air cells-create the ideal insulatin^g qualities of Celotex board. {

Examined under a magnifying glass, the serrations or hooks on each 6bre can actually be seen. These interlocking hooksmore like bamboo than any other domestic fibre-give Celotex products their superior structural strength and durability.

All Celotex insulation board products are specially processed to make them water resistant-and treated by the -exclusive Ferox process to Protect them against dry rot and termites. They're easy to handle, easy to aPPly, economical ao use.

So look to-and learn to depend uPon-these quality cane fibre building products made by The Celotex Corporation. And keep in mind that on literally hundreds of thousands of building fobs they have ptooed that they batte tbe insi.de qaality tbat cotmls.

How Lumber Looks

As we go to press, the strike in the Redwood lumber manufacturing industry has entered its eighteenth week. The strike started on January 14, t946.

The Redwood Industrial Relations Committee in a letter to the union on Aprll 22 made a new ofier as a means of settling the present dispute, but the union rejected it, demanding the union shop rvhich is the main issue in the strike. The letter also pointed out that there is considerable restoration and maintenance to be done before full operations are resumed. and unless this work can be started in the very near future, some of the mills may abandon operations for the balance of the year.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended Aprll 27,102 mills reporting, gave orders as 65,738,000 feet, shipments 62,374pffi feet, and production 57,153,000 feet' Orders on hand at the end of the lveek totaled 281,428,N0 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week April 27, 88 units (117 mills) reporting, gave orders as 17,028,000 feet, shipments 17,123,000 feet and production 17,928,N0 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 88,594,000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended April 27,135 mills reporting, gave orders as 85,402,' 000 feet, shipments 93,879,000 feet, and production 84361,000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 517.678,000 feet.

Some wise wag is reported to have remarked that "Communism would be much more attractive if it were not for those unattractive Communists."

**'F

But I can't go for that. Communism would be unattractive if the Commies were the most personable people on earth. A Communist, in my book, is simply a Russian agent, regardless of what position he holds, or what he claims forhimself

* +,r

A Communist is a Russian agent and a Fifth Columnist, anywhere you find him. He is a danger to the safety of any country you find him in, outside of Russia. There is no room in this land for aily man or woman professing Communism. We must throw them out, or they will throw us out. Let us do the starting.

Communism is a large O*, "r,n. crime problem in this and every other country. Its hostility to religion and to religious teaching destroys morality. By its infiltration into our schools and colleges, it poisons education. By its studied disloyalty to everything we stand for in America, it threateirs our American way. Why temporize with a thing that is an unholy cross between a pestilence and a famine?

x I *

There is a saying going ihe rounds concerning the territory that is now occupied in Europe by ou,rselves, the British, and Russia. They iay that the "British have the industry; the Russians have the agriculture; and the Americans have the sceneri."

The firm of Warner & Swasey, makers of tools in Clevetand, Ohio, recently ran an advertisement that was truly thought provoking. It said I "If Communism and Socialism are so wonderful (as many people would have you believe) then why do the largest and most experienced Communistic country in the world (Russia) and the largest Socialistic country in the world (England) have to come to this capitalistic country to borrow money? America is the only major country where people have been able to produce enough for their own wants and have a surplus. The countries with the 'more abundant life' want and seem to

need that surplus. Doesn't it look'as though this capitalism is something so good we had better keep it? If we think so, we had better act like it, for there are things going on here that will (and are intended to) kill capitalism, AND THERE WON'T BE ANY COUNTRY WE CAN BORROW FROM."

*

)B ,F

Might be a good idea to read that paragraph over again' Inside and outside this country there are terrific forces at work every. minute of every hour of every day that would utterly destroy this capitalistic system of ours. For indeed, freedom is divided into two equal parts-to have and to hold. And the man of good standing who pooh-poohs the thcught of internal danger threatening us today, IS THE BEST FRIEND THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT HAS. He doesn't realize it, of course, but when he tries to talk down the danger in the dark clouds around us today, he is really making a fine little Fifth Column all by himself. For, as Lincoln said, if this nation ever dies it will die from wlthin. And the most dangerous citizen is the respected man who refuses to see the danger, and tries to keep his neighbor from seeing it.

Lest you may have ,.rj"aal",l.", .."u.r, let me refresh your memory as to some of the agreements entered into by Russia when she signed the San Francisco charter; and compare these high promises with her present system of world-rvorrying and pledge-breaking. They are: "To reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights in the equal r;ghts 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 peoples. To refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity,or political independence of any state"'

The Socialistic government of England is now going about the business of nationalizing the nation, its industries, financial operations, etc. The Church of England is probably shaking in its shoes. For it is big business, and in a big way. It has an annual income of thirteen million dollars. The head of the Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury, draws a salary of $75,000 a year, and has forty-three bishops under him who get from ten to fifty thousand dollars a year. Those Socialist boys must be licking their chops when they think of it. ***

advising those who would like to write. Wendell Robie sends in the story of a preacher of California Gold Rush days, whose motto for public speaking was: "Get chock full of the su,bject, .pull out the bung, and let her caper." He got that from the Placer'Herald, dated September 18th, 1852. The philosophy is as good now as it was then; and always will be.

For OPA has created for us a law-breaking epoch of Black-Market design that makes tt'e prohibition era of a generation back look like an innocent Sunday School picnic by comparison.

Inevitably, when I read and hear the great call going up for food for the unfortunate people of this unfortunate world, my mind goes back to those days not so long since, when this nation pursued a grand campaign to destroy food crops. We killed and we plowed under unbelievable quantities of cotton and food. The world was hungry then as the result of world-wide depression. But we went about slaughtering and plowing under as though too great an abundance was destroying the land. Why the men who promoted that horror were never locked up in a psychopathic ward, was diffi.cult to understand.

One winter day I drove through the sugar bowl country of Southern Louisiana. And there I saw a terrible sight. They were plowing under nearly forty thousand acres of growing sugar cane. The crop was two to three feet high then, and was worth nearly four million dollars at that stage. And it was in a country that had never raised enough sugar for its own needs. But they were plowing it under

And two drunks met in a bar. After a time they became :l so friendly that one of them unwrapped a package he car,ried and disclosed a big, beautiful lobster, ready for the oven. He gave it to his drunk friend. The friend said: "It's beautiful. I'll take it home for dinner." And the other drunk said: "He's already had his dinner. Take him to a movie." ***

Young Trees and Young Men--The Future Of Forestry in the Douglas Fi, Region

Seattle, Wash., May 2-"The productive power of the Douglas fir forest is the greatest economic asset which the people of this region possess," C. H. Kreienbaum, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, declared in a recent address be{ore the Alumni of the College of Forestry, University of Washington.

'1Of the lands logged here in the past half century, a substantial proportion is rvell stocked with fast growing young timber of every age, from the date of the earliest cutting down to and including the year follorving the last good local seed crop. Wherever these areas are found to be clevoid of a second crop, the answer is quite plainFIRE."

to do it to get the benefit payments. I watched that infamy in progress, and I talked with a little "Cajun" Frenchman, who was watching wistfully as the destruction progressed. I said to him: "Do you think that God will forgive the fools who are guilty of this crime?" And he said: "I'ope not." So did I. And I still continue in that hope. Al Jolson used to say that he wished he knew the language of animals so that he could ask the skunk what the hell was the big idea? I've longed ever since for a chance to ask the mental Liliputians who engineered the wholesale destruction of our crops and pigs and cattle in those days, that same question. Most of our food troubles from that day on, stemmed from that infamY' *< * !t

And then there was the lumber buyer who asked a mill the price of some cull lumber that was lying around, and was t-old he could have it for the ceiling price-$120 a thousand. He said: "You don't call that the ceiling price, do you?" And the itrill man said: "Sure, the Black Market ceiling."

Entitled "Young Trees and Young Men-the Future of Forestry in the Douglas Fir Region," and now released by the Association, Mr. Kreienbaumls message projects great prornise for the forestry profession in the Pacific Northwest, but with reservations and u'arnings. Solution of the forest fire problem is vital to our forest future, he points out, and so is sustained yield on a cooperative basis between government and private owners.

"It is well known," says the WCLA president, "that today's timber demand-supply situation dictates that the balance of old growth timber must be used over the periocl necessary to bring our young stands along to han'est age. The greatest single event in our time, rvhich is going to help make this possible, is the advent of cooperative sustained yield."

Recommends Amendments to Pnce Control Act

Washington, April 26-Enough lumber for housing will depend almost entirely on the adoption of several moderate but essential amendments to the Price Control Act. Richard A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee today.

Mr. Colgan reported that lumber production cannot possibly reach the government's goal unless OPA is ordered by Congress to change some of its methods of fixing prices, and charged tl-rat "inadequate price ceilings alone are responsible for mdst of our decreased production today."

He singled out particularly for blame the deliberate OPA practice of setting prices so that only 75 per cent of production may break even br make a profit, and recommended that OPA be required'to allou'at least 90 per cent of the production to break even.

"This' unholy policy," he said, "is based in part on the absurd contention that 25 per cent of production never did make a profit and never will. Here is one branch of the government calmlv cutting otr 25 per cent of productionbecause of course they do go out of business-when other branches of the government are exhorting us to produce and produce some more."

Mr. Colgan also called attention to the failure of OPA to recognize the current high costs of standing timber, to its practice of using overall company profits from manl' types of business, to its "inexcusable slowness" in making decisions, and to its failure to use crlrrent costs of production. He recommended that any amendments to the Act require OPA to change or moclify these practices.

II The Fog Were To LiIt

This morning I opened my eyes, gigantic gray shadows loomed through the fog. I knew that those shadows were pine trees and beyond the trees was the lake, and the sleeping town. I knew because I had seen it all so many times.

And I wondered, if the eternal fog that mystifies us were to lift so that we could see beyond it, might not the things it would reveal be just as simple as the trees and the little sleeping village?"-Blanche E. Dreier.

Cotton Insulation Easily Installed

"We consider 'Lo-K' cotton insulation, for which we became sales agents for Southern California early this year, a very fine product," said Robt. C. Sand of the Cole Door & Plywood Co., Los Angeles, recently.

It can be easily installed by the user or by an insulation applicator. For houses already built, economical results may be obtained by using this cotton insulation in the upper floor ceiling or attic. When the attic is unfloored, this may be done by simply laying the material, unnailed, to the upper floor ceiling joists. Flanges on each side of the batt part of the insulation are provided for use when installing the material in side walls or other areas where fastening is required.

"This insulation is available in standard widths to fit between rafters, joists and studdings. Convenient lengths of 24 feet or over can be cut to suit specific needs. Paperbacked and plain types come in a wide range of thicknesses."

\Testern Pine Millwork Prices Raised

Washington, May 6.-The Ofifice of Price Administration gave the low-cost housing program a boost by authorizing an average increase of 23/o over present ceiling prices for stock millwork from Western pine lumber.

The price increase, effective today, will be passed on to consumers, OPA said, but a study is in progress to determine the ability of resellers to absorb part of it. The agency said it had based the increase on cost increases alone, because other financial data usually used in determining prices were "not adequate nor available."

Specific millwork items were given the following price boosts: Frames, 3.5%; open sash, 24.5%; doors with plywood panels,25/o; doors with raised panels, 22/o; glazed sash, 15.75/o; combination doors, 22o/o; window screens, 20.5%; other items, including specialties, 22/c.

OUR MAJOR EFFORTS ARE NOW EXPENDED IN PROCURING SOME OF THIS SCARCE COMMODITY FOR

\fhat is Modular Design ?

Many lumber dealers have been asking the question "What is modular design ?" Briefly, coordination, the basis of modular planning, may be defined as the dimensioning of building units or components so that they rvill fit together, plus the use of building dimensions consistent rvitl-t such coordinated sizes. It involves:

1. Sizes of building materials and components which permit their field assembly with a minimum of cutting and fitting.

2. Dbtails and plans rvhich shou' the assembly of the above, and

3. Modular planning which correlates building'dimer-rsions with the above sizes and details. A 4-inch unit has been selected as the standard dimensional increment.

In recent months announcements of the adoption of the 4-inch module as basis for product sizes have been made by a number of building material manufacturers, notably the National Door Manufacturers Association, wood windows and doors; the Structural Clay Products Institute, brick and tile ; Concrete Masonry Industry, concrete blocks; Metal Window Institute, metal windows. Glass block manufacturers have always made their product to conform t() the 4-inch module. A number of other manufacturers of building materials are studying and working toward standardization of product dirrensions with the 4-inch module as the basis.

Heretofore no national standard for wood windows and sash has been recognized by the woodwork or building industries. Following the settlement of New England in colonial days, certain window opening sizes came to be recognized in that particular area. As the population moved westward other local or regional standards developed.

As a result the United States has experienced at least ten different local or regional rvindorv and sash standards. This multiplicity of standards has caused some confusion to architects and builders. it did not lend itself to maximum economy in manufacture and distribution.

The 32-page booklet published some time ago by the National Door Manufacturers Association, and which was mail'ed to 2/W retail lumber dealers, and to all sash and door jobbers, gave complete details on the new standards, which represent more than tu'o years of study on the past of the producers of ponderosa pine stock woodwork products.

Violate or Liquidate Only Choice under OPA Lumber Dealer Tells Senate

Washington, D.C., May 6.Unless OPA is curbed, small business men have but two choices-to violate the law or liquidate the business, Arthur Clifford, vice president of A. W. Burritt Company, Bridgeport, Conn., told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee today during OPA extension hearings.

"Lumber mills and dealers trading in the black market are not protesting OPA regulations," Clifford asserted. "They are doing quite as well as the racketeers of the Prohibition Era. But legitimate lumber dealers have neither lurnber nor hope of remaining in business."

Speaking for the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association of Washington, D.C., Clifford pointed out that OPA's {ormulas were apparently designed to allow the average small lumber dealer about $50 a year more than was paid to unskilled labor.

OPA, he explained, has taken the 1936-1939 business as its base. About one-half of the lumber yards operating in 1939 rn'ere in tou'ns of 2,500 and less. The average sales volume of these 12,3N yards was $32,756. If the industry averag'e profit recently used by OPA were applied to the 1939 volume, half the lumber dealers in the United States would be allowed a profit of $884.41. Unskilled workers during 1939, working a 40-hour week, would have made $832 a year. But according to OPA, lumber dealers should be allowed only $52 a year more to compensate for their investment.

Actually, Clifford stated, 9,000 of 12,000 lumber yards in towns ol 2,5N or less are owned by a sole proprietor. Therefore, the profit of $884.41 on a $32,756 investment represents the proprietor's salarv as well as his profit' Forcing a lumber dealer to absorb mill price increases is absurd under such circumstances, Clifford averred.

Boards and 2x4's 'are the two items needed for home construction of any kind, he said. "Lumber inventories in dealers' yards amounted to 6 billion board feet in 1941 but today inventories are down to 1 billion board feet. No manufacturer in his right mind would manufacture fir dimension lumber when timbers bring more money.

The lumber dealer has to absorb the cost of remanufacturing unusable sizes into home building lumber-or go out of business under OPA regulations, Clifford concluded.

Plywood Industry Honors E. E. Westman

The retirement of E. E. (Ed) Westman as president of the Washington Veneer Company, Olympia, Wash., was announced at a luncheon in his honor at Tacoma, Wash', on April 16 ulhich was attended by some fifty leaders of the Fir plywood industry.

fn summing up tributes paid to the retiring plywood maker by various speakers, E. W. Daniels, president of the Harbor Plywood Corporation at Hoquiam, Wash', and luncheon toastmaster, commented, "No other person has

one other person is known to be responsible Tor enough plywood production to approach Mr. Westman's record.

James A. Malarkey, president of M and M Woodworking Co. of Portland, Ore., is the man; his three plants have manufactured just under two billion square feet.

Mr. Westman was an immigrant Swedish milfivorker who cbme to the Pacific Northwest in 1909, and rvorked for the Defiance Lumber Company at Tacoma. for ten years before becoming interested in plyr,vood manufacturing. To-

contributed more to the development of the industry than has Ed Westman; the deep regard held for him by all other plywood makers is clear recognition of this integrity and the fairness of his business practices throughout the years."

Two billion square feet of plywood have been turned out in five different plants at Olympia, Seattle and Springfield, Ore., while under his management, the bulk of it corning from factories of the firm he is now leaving.

The consensus of those at this gathering was that only

gether with the late J. G. Lucas, then yard foreman at the Tacoma lumber plant, he organized the Olympia Veneer Company, a cooperatively owned enterprise long considered the "cradle of the plywood industry."

Olympia Veneer Co. was a highly successful firm (it now owns three factories) but Mr. Westman chose to found the second concern, Washington Veneer Company. In addition, he was president of Aircraft Plywood Corporation (now United States Plywood Corporation) of Seattle for two years starting in 1929. In the thirties he rvas vice

Veneer factories.

Mr. westman also organized Springfield (ore.)

wood Corporation in 1940 and has been president of that

company as well. Washington Veneer owns the controlling

block of stock in the Oregon concern.

ln 1928, Mr. Westman introduced the wallboard grade

of plywood which was to become for years a leading vol-

ume item on the manufacturing schedules of all plywood

, factories and to become recognized throughout the nation

as a superior material for interior walls of homes and

literally hundreds of other uses.

' A few of the early day plywood and door manufacturers lvho could not be present sent telegrams which were read at the luncheon.

Hal W. McClary New General Manager Of Washington Yeneer Co.

Hal W. McClary, nervly-named general manager of Washington Veneer Co. of Olympia, Wash., has climbed fast since starting his plywood career as a factory hand 15 years ago.

Previously general superintendent for the company, he .lvas named to the new position upon the retirement of E. E. Westman, founder and president of the firm. Organized in 1922, Washington Veneer Co. now operates the two Olympia plants and holds the controlling interest in Springfield (Ore.) Plywood Corp.

After graduating from the University- of Washingtonwhere he was a basketball star for three years-Mr. McClary started at the bottom in the plywood plant of The 'Wheeler, Osgood Co. of Tacoma. In ten years with that firm, he rose to assistant general superintendent.

Subsequently, he was assistant general manager of Northwest Door Co., also at Tacoma, before joining Washington Veneer Co. in 1942 to establish the firm's testing and research laboratory. He advanced to general superintendent a year ago. His experience includes summer work in logging camps and sawmills while studying forestry.

While playing basketball for Washington, Mr. McClary became one of the school's all-time greats. Both in 1929 and 1930 he was all-coast center, and Knute Rockne picked McClary for his all-American basketball team in twentynine.

-To Meet the UrgentN eedc of the Beeonoersion Housing Progtam

TODAY'S most urgent and immediate need is tor housing-and the Douglas fir plywood industry pledges complete cooperation with the Reconversion Housing Ptogram.

The demand f or housing requires that Douglas f ir plywood again be put on an allocation basis. This means that a iubstantial proportion of the industry's production will be channelled to housing contractots, stock cabinet manufacturers, prefabricators and distributors.

As a result, the present supply situation for all other industrial and construction uses will be temporarily aggravated, May we strongly urgc you to antlclpatc ).ur fat in adtance-and discuss 1'our rcquiremcnts your regular sources of suPPlY.

Eoen though today the supplg situation in Douglas fir plgwood is criticallg short, for mang projecti such os fotming concrete sutfaces, for signs and displag worh, for boat building, snd for mang othtr industrial and commercial uscs, it is' almost indispensable, In these cases it is welt utorth waiting fot, as'it will satte time and labor and do a better job,
