Holdg 10th Annual Convention In Yogemite

J. H. Kirk of Sonto Mcrio, Colif.; Succeeds George Adcms As President

J. H. Kirk of Santa Maria, Calif., succeeds George Adams as President.

The lOth Annual Convention of the l.umber Merchants Ass<>ciation of Northern California, held at The Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite National Itark, drerv an attendance of 310, and the consensus seemed to be that it was one of the best in the history of the Association.

out ideas that stimulated them.

The subject of better merchandising featured a number of the talks given by well known speakers, who brought the thinking of all who heard

The weather was delightful. A number of the visitors arrived on Saturday. Others came on Sunday. This gave them time to take in trips to various parts of the Yosemite Valley. Golf was played by some at Wawona, and a.conducted tour of the Valley was enjoyed by most of the ladies.

Monday Registration began at 10:00 a.m. This was in charge of Claire Zimmerman, of the Association stafi.

The Kick-Off luncheon, scheduled for 12:30 was held at I :00 p.m. on account of the unavoidable delay in the arrival of Congressman Richard Nixon, the luncheon speaker. President George Adams presided.

Mr. Nixon was introduced by Wendell Robie, Auburn Lumber Co., Auburn, Calif., who told something of the work of the speaker as a member of the House un-American Activities Committee, the House Committee on education and labor.

The speaker, who is a candidate for the United Statej Senate, gave a brief history of the Alger Hiss case, telling

of the delays and difficulties encountered in bringing this traitor to trial, and of getting a conviction.

In stressing the dangers of Communism he said there is a big job to be done in the field of education. The youth of the country, he said, must be told the truth,, and the people must be told the truth'about it, and in doing so some of the good things about the United States should be emphasized.

In conclusion Mr. Nixon said that the United States rirust be made strong militarily, so strong that the Russians will not engage in a struggle they know they cannot win.

Monday Evening

Dinner entertainment was provided by Frank Fay, nationally known actor, whose humorous monologue was enjoyed by the big gathering.

Russ Stevens of A. F, Stevens l.umber Co., Healdsburg, Calif., presided at the dinner.

A presentation of a Navajo horse btanket was made by President George Adams to C. B. Sweet, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

Mr. Stevens made the presentation on behalf of the Association of a beautiful gold wrist watch to George Adams as a small token of appreciation for his services during the past two years as president. Mr. Adams replied briefly, expressing his thanks for the loyal support he had received from the directors and meml>ers.

Tuesday Morning

George Adams, chairman of the nominating committee, read the committee's report, nominating the directors for the coming year. The report was adopted. Hamilton Knott, Yosemite Lumber Co., Fresno, presided at the business session.

Arthur Hood, editor of the American Lumberman, Chicago, delivered an address on "How to Maintain Volume and Profif in a Highly Competitive Market." He said that retailing is the most important activity in the United States, and that the retail lumber business is the most important of all. He predicted that by July 1 of this year

A terre tale about a Biblical character naned Joscph who became thc firrt bureaucrat,. the 6rst economic planner, the firrt govcrnmcnt crop specialirt, and thc champion doublccrorEer of thc Comlon*M3n.

Looks like every time I trrrn around the laet couple of years I hear or read where some intelligent per$n is auggesting that we should follow the leseonn tauglft ue in the Bible, and in times of plenty lay up and store up that which we have and thus make preparation for the lean days that may lie ahead *of ;s.*

No doubt all of you dear hearts and gentle people have encountered the same opinion. You no doubt have sometimes heard the name of Joseph mentioned in this regard, he being the guy who, according to Scripture, prepared in seven rich years for the seven lean years that were to follow. Folks say that's what we should be doing in this country todaS when income and taxes are mountain high, instead of squandering more than we take in; that we should be cutting down our debts, balancing the budget, and putting our house in order during these days of PlentY' * !r !r

With that opinion I am, of course, completely in sympathy. But what I am going to do here is to try and inject a few facts into this Joseph story, and correct a seemfngly general impression-a completely erroneous one -that away back in Bible times "a fellow named Joe" showed his people the way out of such a situation, and left behind an example for wise men to follow. This guy has been praised and glamorized for ages by un-reading and un-knowing people, and it looks like it's time someone injected a few facts into the matter, and kicked the pedestal out from under this age-old phoney-Joseph. (Now, don't start getting mad at me. I'm only going to quote from the record.) If you think our cropplanners and economic advisers of today have made a mesd of things, you just harken to this*story of Joseph.

, Whenever I read one of these Joseph suggestions, I say to myself-"Yes, Sir, Bruce Barton was right when he wrote his great book -about the Bible that he called 'The Book Nobody Knows.' Plenty of people talk about it, but mighty few read it, or if they do, remember what they have read." This popular misconception about Joseph is an excellent illustration of that fact. Plenty of grownups and lots of children can tell you right off-hand that Joseph was a wise young man who interpreted a dream for the Pharaoh of Egypt and by so doing headed off a great

famine; that during the ycan of plcnty he etored up wealth for thc lean ycarr he had prcdlctcd wcre coming, and thue prcvented a great disaster. He did, but not just in the way it ie urualll*suppqed.

Jurt a few days ago I got a letter from a very talented friend of minc who is perhape a bit short on his Bible facts. He diecusscd our prcsent national situation, the way we are Bquandering our wealth in there fat times when we should be cleaning up our house and getting it in order; the mess we are making of our crop controls; and he asked-"Don't you think we need another Joseph to lead us out of aU this confusion?" That is typical of many opinions I have read and heard and so, to get the record straight, let me tell in rough-and-tumble fashion the real Joseph story. Perehaps you'll borrow a Bible and look it up for yourself. (That's*a *ioke, son.)

Joseph was a young Hebrew boy who was sold into bondage in Egypt by hi,s brothers, and who, as he grew older, displayed an unusual brand of intelligence, sagacity, some wisdom, and apparently a lot of what is often called "second-sight." He had shown some expertness in the interpretation of dreams. The fact is that the writer of the book of Genesis in the Old Testament-the one in which the history of Joseph appears-givep Joseph a mighty high reputation for integrity, morality, and general worthiness. You may find it hard to reconcile his apparent high character with his acts as a high public officer, after he became a Bureaucrat. *

One night the king of Egypt, the Pharaoh, had a dream that worried him no end. He called in his wise men and his soothsayers, and they were unable to interpret the dream. He heard about Joseph and sent for him. Pharaoh dreamed that he stood on the bank of a river, and saw seven fat cattle come up out of the river. They were followed by ,seven frightfully lean and emaciated cattle, which immediately ate up the seven fat cattle. What does it mean? asked Pharaoh. This one was a push-over for Joe. Without hesitation he said that the seven fat cattle meant that seven years of plenty were coming, and that they would be followed by seven years of famine which would eat up the substance of the land and of the people. And he advised Pharaoh to appoint some capable man to prepare Egypt in the sevent fat years for the Seven lean year,s that were to follow.

Pharaoh agreed, and gave the job to Joseph. Not only that but he made him the chief cook and bottle washer of the entire kingdom, with authority over everything and

everyonc, and rcrponriblc only to thc Pharaoh himrelf. Joseph war dreucd in tlre roynl raiment, and bccame thc assistant-king of Egypt. Wcll, thc revcn ycan of plcnty came, ar Joreph had prcdictcd, and they murt havc bcen very rich ycart, for Chaptcr ,11 of thc book of Gcncrir, tellB about it in Verres 47,48 and 49: "And in the lcven plenteour ycars thc carth brought forth by handfulls . .

It*

And Joseph, the first great Bureaucrat, went abroad through thc lhnd and seized and gathercd up and gtorOd away "all the food" in the land. We can imagine that the warehouses and storehouses were many, to hold Buch a harvest. Now, up to here thie ie dietinctly a great 8ucccss story. Joseph had called the turn on the seven yearg of plenty, and had accumulated great stores of neceseities against the seven years of famine he had predicted. Too bad we cannot continue it in the same fashion, and make Joseph the great benefactor of his day and age, but the facts wouldn't bear us out. fnstead, Joseph preyed upon the unfortunate people of Egypt just as men in such circumstances uisually do. All this food and substance belonged to the people. They had raised it.It was their own. They thought, no doubt, that the government had seized it for their benefit and in their interest.

herdr of cattlc; therc ir nbt aught left but our bodicr end our landr; buy ur and our landrr for brcad, end WE AND OUR LANDS WILL BE SERVANTS UNTO PHARAoH.''

And this champion of all double-crorrcrr bought them all, and gave thcm over to his maater, Pharaoh. Thc Good Book doesn't ray whcther hc handled theae fraudulent and nefariour tranractions on a commirsion basir or for a straight salary; but !o shrewd and unscrupulour a scoundrel rto doubt saw to it that the remuneration war in kecping with the rceults produced. F'or he had handed over to Pharaoh all the people and all the wcalth of Egypt-free. And now comes the finale to this tale of treachery to the common man, and perhaps, Dear Reader, you may draw some comparisons and conclusions. I leave them to you. Having won from the people everything they had posaessed, all their money, their stock and other possessions, and their land and homes, the Bible tells us that Joseph told these broke and hungry pcople that he would supply them with seed with which to plant crops on the lands they had lost, and generously added: "Ye shall give the fifth part (of the crops) to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own." So these poor people, who had been cheated out of everything they owned, now became share-croppers for the government.

Never were people

more wronged. The seven years of plenty ended, and the seven years of famine came in all their horror. And when the people grew hungry they came to Pharaoh and asked for food. And what did the old buck-passer do? He referred them to the head of the Economic Bureau, the Crop Control Bureau, the Crop Marketing Bureau-Joseph. And what did Joseph do to these hungry people? Let the Bible tell you.

* rf rl.

Genesis, Chapter 41, Verse 56: ". . and Joseph opened all the storehouses and SOLD to the Egyptians." There's your sordid story in a nutshell. The food the people had planted and raised on their own land and with their own hands, the sorry rascal SOLD back to them for money; and, no doubt, at very fancy prices. fnstead of giving back to the people the food he had taken from them, he made them come up and BUY* IT.

In the following chapters of Genesis you may trace the rape and holdup of the Egyptian nation. You will learn that the hungry people exchanged ALL their money for food. And when the money was gone and they came asking for food, Joseph told them to bring in all their herds, their livestock, their cattle, their horses, and all else that they po,ssessed, and he took them all in exchange for food. In two years of famine the people exhausted all their money and their other possessions. And now we find the people saying to that kind and benevolent Joseph who was to free them; yes, free them from everything they owned: "Our money is spent; my lord also hath our

Did they rise up in their bitterness? Did they complain against their wrongs? Did they cry aloud in their anguish aganst the unrighteousness of it all? Did they say to him "Why you thieving young skinfint, that's OUR land and OUR seed, and the money in your pocket is OUR money!" Did they declare these truths? No! They did NOT. We can only assume that their spirit had been broken by privation and starvation through the seven famine years, for we are told that they answered meekly and said to Joseph: "Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's Fervants."

This, then, dear hearts and gentle people, is the true (Continued on Page 22)

All Lumber Dealers should knortl these facts about Pressure'Treated Lumber

PROIECTION-Treating of lumber preserves itjust as alloys preserve metals. The purpose is to protect lumber against costly rot and termite damage. Treated lumber should be used wherever wood is exposed to rot and termites.

PRESSUNE TREATMENT VS. SURFACE APPTICATION-Remember that pressure treating is recognized by responsible authorities as being far superior to surface application because it forces the preservative deep into the fibres of the wood. This provides complete protectiori. against decay and termites.

)v ?

OTIIER QUATITIES TO IOOK FOR-For sreatest usefulness, preservatives should not only stop rot and termites, but also should be clean, odorless, paintable, .non- leaching and non- corros ive.

WOLMANIZED PRESSURE-TREATED TUMBER combines o,lj these essential requirements. WOLMANIZED Lumber lasts 3 to 5 times.loager than untreated wood, because it's treated under pressure of 150 lbs. per square inch. It's also clean, odorless, paintable, non-corrosive. WOLIvIANIZED* Pressure-Treated Lumber, gives dealers extra sales poteutials because it gives users outstanding advantages.

ItJust Didn't Make Sense

A city gentleman who had spent a number of Fummer vacations in the Ozark Mountainr, dccided to build a summcr home there

So he m3de a deal with a hillbilly carpenter who came to him well recommended, to build the house. He arranged for the building material and labor money from the nearest bank, and told the hillbilly he would have the plans for the house drawn and sent to him, and to go right to work and complete the place.

A month later he went down there to see how the house was progressing, and found that it had not even been started. When he asked the carpenter why not, the rnorrntain gent explained it to him this way:

"Mister," he said, "the minute I seen them plans you sent me, I knowed somebody had made a awful mistake, and I figgered I better jest hold up the job until you got here to see about it."

The gentleman was deeply puzzled,, looked the plans over, and saw nothing wrong. He asked the carpenter:

"What is this awful mistake in the plans that you're talking about ?"

"Mister," said the other, "you may not believe this, but if Ida gone ahead an'built that house accordin' to them planB, youda had TWO BATHROOMS !"

IVood Gutter of Douglas F'ir

Wooa Gutter of Douglas Firis another Special 4-Square Lumber Product that belongs in every lumber yard. It is a superior building product that delivers greater value,longer life and substantial beauty to modern homes. Wood Gutter belongs on wood houses.

In the New England states, Wood Gutter has been a preferred material since Colonial days. It is also widely used on the West Coast. Put into place when the cornice is built, Wood Gutter becomes a permanent part of the house structure. The first cost is the last cost

except for an occasional coat of paint. Costly replacement is unnecessary.

Wood Gutter belongs on wood houses. Its installation belongs to the builder and his men. It is part of the house job that he'd prefer to handle . particuIarly when it offers so much to his customers in terms of longer functional life and substantial good looks.

Lrimber dealers find in Wood Gutter a leader in helping them sell many other 4-Square Quality Lumber Products. Ask your Weyerhaeuser representative about Wood Gutter of Douglas Fir.

J-M Smoothgrrcin PermqtoneE

Johns-Manville, 22 East 40th St., New York 16, N.Y., have recently introduced an asbestos siding shingle called Smoothgrain Permatones. Viewed at any angle they have the deep, grained appearance of weather wood, but the surface is actually smooth. This is accomplished by placing colored ceramic granules in the grooves of the grain and then pressing. The shingles are available in four colors, Silver Gray, Heather Green, Autumn Brown, and Weathered Gray, and with w?v1 straight or staggered butts.

Pqul Cuaabgbcn

T'r IIVERYONE recognizes the fact that costs of operation have risen steadily over the past few years. To ofiset these increases in manufacturing Palco Redwood lumber, there was no alternative but to increase operating efficiency. And, in the interest of sound business practice we elected to take full advantage of production economies. To do this we complerely altered our manufacturing methods. Instead of piece-meal handling in broken lots, we were forced to adopt unit-handling in fixed quantities. The resultant benefits of higher uniformity of gtade and quality at no compara'ble inctease in price has enabled us to meet the requirements of our dealers and their customers.

Konlcifir

A New Solld Wood Prncling-A Product of Popc And Talbot, Inc.

In the April I issue of The California Lumber Merchant, Pope & Talbot, Inc., pioneer manufacturers of quality lumber, announced the appointment of White Brothers, San Francisco and Oakland. exclusive Northern California distributor of Konkifir, a new solid T & G wall paneling, a packaged product that is available now from the distributor's stock.

A statement prepared by White Brothers describes the new product as foltows:

"Nature's handiwork created this uniquely lleautiful wall paneling. Years ago a growth known. to lumberjacks as 'conk' attached itself to an occasional Douglas Fir in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Working on the yellow heartwood this growth stained the wood a range of colors from light grey through rose, and created small, irregular voids similar to the 'pecks' in Pecky Cypress. Now this unusual wood is being exactingly selected by experts, kiln dried to completely destroy the growth itself, and today is processed and packaged as precious Konkifir.

Rare Yet Not Costly

"No other wall paneling brings the warm, weathered appearance of Konkifir at so low a cost. It is one of the most reasonably priced of full-thickness wood panelings, costing very little more than ordinary knotty pine. And it may be inexpensively.finished in an almost

limitless variety of shades and efrects. From the ultramodern to coloniat and provincial, the spirit of most interiors can be captured and enhanced with Konkifir.

In The Home

"This paneling lends the walmth and comfort of real rvood-the solid appearance of sound design and quality construction. It is ideal for living room, dining room, library, entry hall, recreation and rumpus rooms. And its many finish possibilities make it equally specified for master bedrooms, and Western style children's rooms'

rn Placer of Burlneu

"Konkifir opens up new opportunities for making offices, showrooms, lobbies, display windows, etc. more friendly and appealing. Retail stores have found this paneling the perfect ,background for sport ,clothes and equipment. It gives restaurants, too, a rich 'quality' atmosphere.

This unusual wood adapts itself to an infinite variety of interior treatments, obtained easily and economically with available stain bases, wiping stains, varnishes or lacquers.

Konkfir Goes Up Easily

"In many distinctive wall treatments architects and builders have been quick to recognize not only the great beauty of Konkifir, but the ease and speed with which it can be put up. It is solid kiln-dried T&G paneling, available in widths of 6, 8, and 10 inches, in lengths to 16 feet, full 25/32 inch thickness. Tongue and groove assures perfect alignment, no joint problems.

Beligion

They have killed in this ancient town (Jeruralem), Hlled until every alley was f,ooded with blood. Not a wall in dl this maze of walls but has rrurg with the grloan! of thc dying. Skulls beyond counting have been craclrcd on these fagr; throatg unnumbered have been slit in these dark doorways. They've murdered, and pillaged, and raped in thig old holy town till now it i,s all but one Golgotha, one bloody Hill of Skulls. And if you would know why, you need only look into tlre eyes of these hurrying phantoms. Readily they will tell you; cxplicitly. Men have slaughtered and ravished in Jerusalem because they had-religion. Men have gouged eyes and ripped bellies because they had-believed. Bclieved in what? In God? Hardly. No, they have believed only in mere vocables-Yahveh, Christ, or Allah; those vocables that are the fingers wherewith men try to point to God. Strange potency this thing we call religion. It has made men do barbarities quite beyond the reachqs of credence. For it men have done foulnesses below the foulness done even by beasts. Yet for it aleo men have done benevolences such as transcend the benevolences of angels. If men have killcd and died for religion, men have also lived for it. Not merely for it, but by it. That cowering Jew slinking in the shadow of the archways sloughs off his terror and becomes a king when he enters his synagogue. His bent shoulders straighten, his staggering knees become firm, and the blessedness of peace lightens his eyes. That blind Arab beggar, a mere frame of bones hung over with smelling rags, becornes a sultan when he stands at prayer in his mosque. He stands there healed of his ailments; he becomes a changed man, with a vision reaching beyond his world to Paradise. That dark-eyed Synan girl, poor trull whose lips have caressed the flesh of twenty races, becomes clean once more when she kneels at the feet of the virgin. Strength foods into her tortured bones, healing comes to her flesh. Strange potency, this thing we call religion. It came into man's world untold centuries ago, and it is still in man's world today. It is still there, deep and tremendous: a mighty draught for a mightier thirst, a vast richness to fill a vaster need. No matter where one turns in time or space, there it is inescapably. Wherever there is a man, there there seems to be also a spirit or God; wherever there is a human life, there is also faith. One wonders about it. What is it, this thing we call re.ligion? Whence did it come? And why? And how? What was it yesterday? What is it today? And what will it become tomorrow?

(The above is the introduction to "This Believing \il/orld," written by Lewis Browne, and conceded by numerous scholars to be one of the finest writing jobs done in America in many decades.)

For Men Onty

I saw her swimming in the brook, A moment ewift and flceting, And from the shock of that brief look, My hdart almost stopped beating.

I worked my way "roirnu the trees To where the view was clearer, And then on trembling hands and knees, I edged a little nearer,

I never saw such perfect line, As she was there displaying, Beneath the shade of spreading pines, In languid splendid playrng.

Her twists and turns were full of grace, Her body smoothly molded, I know that joy showed on my face, As each new charm unfolded.

And when she floated with the stream, The sight was most entrancing, Her wondrous body seemed to gleam From sunbeams softly dancing.

I yearned for her with heart anil soul, And then I fell to wishing, For I had neither hook nor poleAnd trout are caught by fishing.

Sam Hanks, fearless ace <irtver, and star salesman for Cote Do<lr & Plywood Co., Los Angeles, has proved himself good at both lines of business, for automobile racing is a business as well as a sport.

Sam was born in Columbus, Ohio, in July, 1914. He moved to Alhambra, Calif., in l9n. While in high school he built and drove roadsters on famous Muroc Dry Lake; drove his first midget car in Gilmore Stadium, Holly1yood, in 1936; won the Pacific Coast championship in 1937, and in 1938 bought his own Offenhauser-powered midget and spent that year learning thc mechanics of real auto racing.

His first race at the Indianapolis Speedway 500-rnile contest was in 1940. He says this was his greatest thrill. He finished l2th, and then campaigned the midget circuit and won the Motor City championship of Detroit, setting a one-lap record that lasted until 1948. At Sportsman Park, Cleveland, ()hio, he won seven straight feature wins, an all time record.

In l94l he won the Michigan State championship, Flint championship, and the Pennsylvania banked track championship for the l94l national title.

In 1942 and 1943 he was an inspector for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. From 1943 to 1945 he was an Army Air Corps production engineer officer for the Pratt & Whitney R-183 and R-2000 engines at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.

Following his discharge in October, 1945, Sam returned to his home iri GIendale, Calif., and won his first postwar race at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

"In 1946 I had .better luck at Indianapolis," Sam says. "After starting Spike Jones' car in the front row, and havirrg the car blorv up in thc lTth lap, I drove 400 miles non-stop as relief for Joe Chitwood to finish in 5th place. Later I returned to California and rvon the Pacific Coast championship again.

"In 1947 and 1948 I raced in all parts of the country, finished second in the Pacific Coast, third in the Middle West. The 500 miles at Irrdianapolis was a jinx both years, with cars giving up before 37 laps were completed each year. In 1949 was out of the 500-mile race with a brokcn oil tank, and returned to my faithful nrirlget and rvon the National title again.

"In 1950 I started the sea'son at Cole Door & Plywood Co., selling for Bob Sand. There r,vill be a short leave of absence in May and June when I try for th<: Gold Ring again in the Indianapolis 500-mile race. I have a lot of confidence for this race, with 4 good new car, and Clyde Jones, a great mechanic. So with a lot of luck, maybe first place this year."

The Ccrtigrcdc Quertct of Homa

The four model homes have double-covered cedar shake walls and cedar shingle roofs. They all have the same basic floor plan, including a spacious living room with fireplace and dining space, two bedrooms' and an allpurpose room. A semi-detached single garage is another feature of the homes.

The four homes are named after early American statesmen, and are officially designated as The Certigrade Jefrerson, The Certigrade Jackson, The Certigrade Washington and The Certigrade Hamilton.

National Plan Service has developed three optional floor plans f<>r the homes. Plan No. I includes a full basement, I'lan No. 2 has a utility room without basement and is designed for northern construction, while Plan No' 3 also is basementless with utilitv room and is laid out for southern construction.

Four attractive two-bedroom homes, all designed around one basic floor 1>lan, will .be given outstanding national prominence during 1950 under an advertising and promotion program sponsored by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau.

Known as the Certigrade Quartet of Homes, the four model houses have been designed by National Plan Service, Inc. of Chicago and blueprint plans and material lists will be distributed tl-rrough retail lumber dealers. More than a score of regional retail lumber associations have sent announcements of the prograni to their thousands of dealer members.

The Certigrade Quartet progranl is patterned after the Bureau's outstanclingly successful advertising campaign of 1949, which featured the Certigrade National Home. According to W. W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager of the Bureau, many hundreds of blueprints of the Certigrade National Home have been sold by lumber dealers and the resultant bills of material run into huge figures.

"Our Certigrade National Home program has been hailed by the retail lumber industry as having provided a distinct stimulus to business during 1949," Woodbridge said, "and it is our hope and expectation that our Certigrade Quartet campaign rvill prove equally beneficial.

"Highlight of the advertising phase of the campaign," he said, "will be a series of four full-page color advertisements in The Saturday Evening Post, the first of which appeared in the April 22nd issue. Additional advertisements featuring the Certigrade Quartet are scheduled for other outstanding publications'"

Ncw Houring Act Erphinsd

Washington, D. C., April LWith the signing of the Housing Act of 1950 today by the President, FHA renews its long-range housing program under Title II and initiates new programs with respect to insurance of .small home loan and cooperalive housing projects, according to Commissioner Franklin D. Richards.

The amended law, it was pointed out, also authorizes FHA to complete the processing of certain rental housing applications filed with FHA field offices on or before Manch l, last, the expiration date of the emergency Title VI, Section 608, legislation.

"several important fundamental changes have been made in the National Housing Act by the Housing Act of 1950", Commissioner Richards said, "which necessitates the issuance of new rules and regulations governing operations under Titles I, II and VL These are being printed and will be sent to all FHA field offices and interested parties at the earliest possible date."

The new amendments are designed to stimulate more housing at lower costs and lower rents and of a more adequate size for family use. It also broadens the provisions of FHA to insure mortgage loans for cooperative housing, according to Commissioner Richards. The provisions of the newly amended law which Commissioner Richards particularly stressed are as follows:

TITLE I

There is no major change in the procedure of insuring loans for repair and improvements but certain clarifying amendments to the regulations were necessary to bring operations into line with amendments to the Act. No changes were made with regard to maximum loan amounts or maturities of such loans.

The new Section 8 is termed "one of the most significant features of the bill" in that it provides for a greater volume of new low-priced homes for families of low or moderate income, especially in suburban and outlying areas which have received a disproportionately small share of nerv housing in the last few years.

Under this new provision FHA may insure a mortgage on a single-family dwelling up to 9S/o of the FHA's appraised value of the property, if the mortgage itself does not exceed $4750, and if the mortgagor is the owneroccupant of the property; a five per cent down payment is required. If the builder constructing the dwelling is the mortgagor the mortgage shall not exceed $4250, or 85% of. FHA's appraised value. In addition, the Congressional Conference Report clearly stated that in the appraisal of such properties, "particularly in outlying areas" it is not expected that there will be complete "conformity with many of the requirements essential to the insurance of mortgages on housing in built up areas". The processing of applications under this section will follow the same general procedure as applications under Section 203 ol Title II.

TITLE II

Relative to mortgage insurance on low cost homes, specifically Section 203 (b) (2) (D), the insured mortgage for an owner-occupant can be for as much as $6,650 or

95/o of FHA's appraised value. The mortgage amount limitation may be increased by $950 for each bedroom in excess of two but not exceeding four. As to the builder, the limitation is $5950 for a one or two-bedroom unit. This amount may be increased by $850 for each bedroom in excess of two but not exceeding four. This provision is aimed particularly to encourage production of more [ousing, at moderate prices, suitable for families with children.

Under Section fr7 as amended, relating t'o insurance of mortgages on multi-family structures, discrimination against families with children is prohibited and violation is called a misdemeanor punishable by fine' A mortgage cannot exceed 90/o of the first $7,000 of value per unit and, ffi/o of the next $3,000 with a limitation of $8,100 for each family unit, or $7,200 per family unit if the number of rooms in a project does not average at least 4l per family unit.

A new section 213, is added to the National Housing Act, designed to increase materially the assistance given Cooperative housing projects. This new section takes the place of the existing provisions of the law with respect to insurance of mortgages of cooperative housing projects now contained in Section 207 of. the National Housing Act, as amended. Insttred mortgages under this new section shall not exceed $5 million. Mortgage insurance up to 95/o of the replacement cost of the project can be obtained if at least 65/o of the members are veterans of Word War II.

Conrmissioner Richards expressed the opinion that the cooperative form of undertaking, rvhich has proved successful in a number of other fields, holds promise of providing good housing for groups of veterans and others who desire to band together for this purpose' One of the new aspects of Section 213 is that the FHA is authorized to furnish technical advice and assistance in the planning, development, construction and operations of cooperative proj ects.

Born in Berlin, Wis., 29 years ago, Max spent his early years just growing. Somehow he forgot to stop so that today cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers, builders. etc. are confronted by a 6-ft. Z'in.,220 pound, square-jawed representative of Stanton's.

After finishing his education at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Max found the world going to pot all around him. Since he could think of nobody else to straighten the mess out he joined the Marines. As a Drill Instructor his well muscled frame plus a rough, tough voice, scared the daylights out of more "Boot" Marines than Max likes to think about. "I guess I must have lost more f riends than Carnegie ever made," he says in talking about this phase of his life.

Stationed in San Diego it was inevitable that Max would one day wander north to Los Angeles. He did' The little journey cost him his bachelorhood for a cute, blonde model at the I. Magnin store on Wilshire Blvd. caught his eye. One thing led to another and a few months later Miss Phyllis Henry of San Marino became Mrs. Max 'Krause of the World.

With.the knot tide it was only fitting that, 4 days later, the Marine Corps shipped Max overseas. Japan received him with open arms and returned him, one year later, with lots of souvenirs, a palpitating heart and a desire never more to roam.

Discharged in the summer of 1946; Max set about making a home for his wife. A hill was purchased in La Halrra Heights, Calif. and work began immediately on the construction of a fitting edifice for thi Krauses.

A problern for finances soon arose. With the bottom of the barrel clearly ih sight it dawned on the mansion builder that he'd better find a job-but quick.

Circumstances led him to Lou Weidner of E. J. Stanton. Lou liked the looks of the husky ex-Marine so, promising him lots of nothing but hard work, he put Max out bucking lumber in the yard.

He bucked until he was a fist full of splinters. Through backaches and mental aches Max bucked his way to glory. With Lou Weidner constantly pushing him it wasn't long until he rnoved into the "helper" class. Hardwood order' man and shipping clerk followed in order.

"But my real education," says Max, "came when they apprenticed me out to Bill La'rson in the pine department. llill is probably the world's greatest authority on pine and he taught me more in a week than I could have learned in 20 years reading books."

Six month with Bill and Stan Swafford, sales manager, grabbed him. "I guess," Max explains, "Stan's Navy background had something to do with it. I-ike all good sailors, Stan knows the Navy doesn't have a chance without the Marines."

Swafiord scofis at this explanation. "We like salesmen with ability. Max showed great possibilities in every job assign'ed hirrr and now he's proving to be a top salesman -the kind buyers are gtad to see coming."

As he progresses in the lumber indu-stry his cheering section has been augmented by a very young Miss Krause' The young lady, Robin, "A Princess of Wails," is, according to Max,""The only child I know that uses Philippine Mahogany for a teething ring-S4S, of course."

Here'g \flhere Wertern Pine Selectg Go

By Robert O. Leonord Vestern Pine Associction

Like a radio soap opera, the perennial whodtrnit of the lumber industry-Who's Getting all the Western I'ine Setects ?-is now entering its frfth consecutive year of playing to capacity galleries.

And the audience is growing restive. They'd like to see the villain apprehended'and the hero and hiroine-in the person of the Western Pine industry and themselvesreunited and living happily forevermore.

But, sadly enough, the villain-and he's strictly mythical--continues on his merry, uncaptured way and the happy ending just nevcr arrives. From the industry and user standpoints, this is regrettable indeed and if either were writing the script the reunion would occur this aftcrnoon. Unhappily, the authors are a set of conditions over which no one has tlte slightest control and they, in fact, arc thc real villains of the piece.

Thc demand for pine selects is a historic feature of lumber markets, antedating the western phase of pine logging and running back to the days of Lief Iiricson when, in search oi clear pine timbers for his father's ships, that young man cruised the north Atlantic coast and set up camps as the New World's first citizen and pioneer industrialist.

The Pilgrims some years later unwittingly revived Lief's business when they cleared the land and built thei'r homes from the timber they felled. They, too, exercised selection and many of the homes they and their children and their children constructed stand toclay, staunch monuments to the durability and beauty of clear pine.

Timber in their day, rvas not an asset. It rvas, in fact, a hanclicap to the establishment of farurs and torvniites and so they used only what they regarded as the llest part of the log and burned the rest, or left it to rot. And that, lamentably, became by habit a standard of lumber's comparative use value.

From that day onward for generations, clear pine Selects were used for home and building constrttction-inside and out-and knotty lumber was ttsecl only for scrap and rough purposes.. It was an uneconomical practice, even then, to utilize only Selects rvhen sound-knotted pine lumber would do an equally effective job in many parts of the building, but economy of effort wasn't highly regarded and economy of resottrces was several hundred years away.

Today the habits of the years still persist in many places and, where for example a grade of C select Idaho white pine, ponderosa pine or sugar pine is apparently needecl, there's little thought given to the serviceability of a good upper Common.

So there go a number of selects'

And there are latter-day habits, too. During the war rvhen every lumber user depended entirely upon allotments for his supply, he very naturally took all the lumber he could get in the highest grade his shipper could and

would supply. And that, just as naturally, led to use abuses in what devetoped to be astonishing proportions, particularly among government agencies.

Selects were cut up where cutting grades (shop lumber) previously had been eminently satisfactory. The habits of the war were not easily broken and today Selects are still being used where Shop will do the job.

A campaign of education by the Western Pine Association among government users is beginning to show resutts but the agencies are many irnd the personnel, much of it inexperienced, requires time to reach. And regulations are regulations.

The shortage of selects is, of course' not confined to pine lumber. The tremendous postwar growth of the plywood industry absortred vast amounts of top grade Douglas fir logs which brought about a shortage of fir selects. That, in turn, bolstered the already topheavy demand for pine.

The shortage of 'Western pine selects'stems, in part' from the habits of generations rvhich regarded any board with a knot in it as fit only to be left in the forest' The war, too, gave rise to improper lumber use when buyers, dependent upon allotments, took the highest grades available regardless of their ultimate purpose' The rapid growth of the plywood industry is also a factor, absorbing vast amounts of top grade Douglas fir logs which in turn has bolstered the already topheavy demand for pine.

And pine lumber manufacturers' meanwhile, were discovering a ripe market for package trim' Incidentally, there's a type of developn-rent which may progress' Growth in marketing awarer.ress by the modern lumber producer is bringing a realization that anything which rvill take him out of the very unpredictable commodity market and into the more stable fabricated field is, if it's sound, a good thing.

Thus, in the case of packaged trim, many selects are never seeing the inside of a box car in their original form' They are, instead, being run to door and window casings, furniture parts and nlany another finished article'

But the backbone of the select shortage situation is, simply, that business is very good and Western pine is very good lumber. What's more, the buyer and consumer are not unaware of the latter.

The uses for good Western pine selects are many and varied and 'ivhen times are good the demand is heavy from every segment of the huge consuming field-residences to toys and woodcarvings to windorvs. Inherently, the industry can produce only a fixed proportion of any single grade of lumber. Where, for example, General Motors can boost or cut its production schedule on any of its many makes to meet changing market conditions, the lumber industry must take and sell all the log contains. It cannot produce ouly commons when commons are sottght-or only selects rvhen the market is there.

(Continued on Page 56)

(Continued from l'age 54)

Throughotrt the Western pine region, the average amount of selects cut from .the log is just a fraction over l0 per cent and all of thc log must be sawn to prodttce them. To boost production on selects, ttre entire manufacturing operation, lly thc naturc of it, must be increascd irr cxactly thc sanre proportion. More logs must be sawn, With virtually every mill in tlte great l2-state area running at capacity, all thc selects which can be nranttfacturcd are lleing manufacturcd.

'.fhc fabricator knows that Westcrn pinc lttnrller is thc finest olrtainable f<lr rnost finish j<lbs and ntany other parts of grxrd residential an<l commercial buildings, and for a host of otlrer purposes, trxl. And the consumer, thr<lugh industry-sponsored education, also knows it. The Western I'ine Association has perhalls the llest record in the cntirc lumber industry for continuous, effective advertising t<; the rvood using .rnd specifying public. And it's from thc ultimate c()nsumer, ()r grass r<lots, level that deman<l springs-a deman<l u'hich is most <liflicult to srvitch antl acc<lunts, lly the \\'ily, at lcast in llart for the generally shalkru'er rlips in thc Western lline nrarket.

Itut if the successfrrl pronrotion is mtltttentarily emltarrassirrg to the in<lustry, thc in<lustry is doing sonrething to rclieve the situation, lly developing in the Association's research laboratory an effective knot sealer, it has cleared the rvay for wide use of sttund-knotted common Iurrrber in many places where paint failures from leaching knot resins once prevented it.

Today, rU)per commons run to siding and exterior trim can bc coated with Wl'-578 knot sealer prior to painting and provide the same beauty and durability once possible orrly rvith select pine. I\{oreover, that san.re resttlt can lle acc<lmplishecl ntorc ec<lnoutically.

And by greater attention to milling and seasoning of the associated species-Douglas fir, larch, rvhite fir, Engellr1at1 spruce, cedar and lodgepole pine-the industry can furnish good alternates, manufactured to the same high standards so long associated with the Western pines.

In their fabricating operations, too, .many Western pine operators are releasing selects to market and utilizing instead cut stock and narrow u'idths finger-joined and Lindermanized, then run to pattern, for their growing packaged trim business. As strong as u'l.role lumber, the glued stock is equally paintable and looks no different in finished application.

So the villain is not going scot-free and as education in proper use of lumber continues he may yet be collared. It lvill be a happy day for the real user of selects and, if it n.reans greater utilization of lorver grades, for the industrv. too.

A copy of the changes that have been suggested to the Proposed Revision of the Logging and Sawmill Safety Orders has been sent to the members of the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association from the Association's office at l70f Broadway, Oakland 12, Calif.

President Fred Hull has announced that lrl. S. Mackins, Jr. has been appointed chairm:rn of the Logging and Sawmill Safety Order Committee.

D. N. (Nat) Edwards, secretary-treasurer, recently reportdd to the members as follows:

"The General Industry Safety Orders were given the eflect of law as of January 19, 1950. Our. Safety Order Committee deserves much credi.t and certainly a unanimotts expression of appreciation for the continuous work done during the last four years. The Committee held manv meetings and made appearances at all of the public hearings held by the Division of Industrial Safety. The results are certainly reflected in the Orders. The lumber industry as a rvhole will soon conle to a full realization of thq fact that these General Industry Safety Orders are even more important than the Proposed Logging and Sawmill Safety Orders and in so doing, will have a far greater appreciation for the work that has been quietly done from time to time by the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association over a oeriod that dates back some thirtv years."

the translation will be completed from a sellers' market to a buyers' market, and pointed out that the retailer has to learn how to market the increased production. "Re' member that there is no limit to better home environment, and that this creates the greatest sales potential," he said.

Mr. Hood stated that he had made a survey of 300 dealers who had made l0 per cent net profit before taxes in 1949. To do this they had 2l per cent expenses, 31 per cent gross margin on selling price, which means 45 per cent average markup. Dealers should make up a 12 months' profit budget. They should find out where they stand on the first of each month. If there is a fall down any month sales effort or promotion and advertising have to be increased.

The average lumber dealer spends one-half of one per cent on advertising. He should spend two per cent. Department stores spend two anj a half per cent of their sales volume on advertising, Mr. Hood said, and offered the further suggestions that 70 per cent of retail sales should be consumer and industrial sales, and 30 per cent should be to contractors; that dealers should shoot for 3O per cent of cash sales, and that seven per cent of their volume should be installment selling. He advised dealers to widen their lines, get into the classified section in the telephone directory, and go in for adventurous merchandising. He suggested sharing 25 per cent of profits with enlployees. This, he said, will bring cluick results in increased sales.

He thought there might be some recession in other parts of later in

As to judging is likely general level in

the country this summer, but that it will start California.

what u'ill happen after this year he said that by what happened after World War I the boon-r to last 10 years, or up to 1955. He expected the price level to keep on rising, and that the price l0 or 20 years from now will be hilher.

F. Dean Prescott J. Frank MurPhy

.Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, Calif. M. J. Murphy, Inc., Carmel, Calif.

on broad-guage lines through their state, regional, and national organizations.

The speaker took a quick look at the work of the National Association in Washington and elsewhere in the past to protect the interests of the lumber dealers and their cnstomers, and paid a tribute to the National Affairs Committee, the Nati<lttal's rv<>rk on the wage-hour bill, on various discriminatory tax proposals, and on social security measures,

The National president discussed the determined drive in Washington to place housing under government domination and ct>ntrol, and outlined the assistance that his Association is giving dealers to help offset the dangers of public housing.

He also discussed the handout prograrn and the high taxes rvhich accompany it, and stressed the necessity for effort by the individual dealer in ltis community to combat this program.

In conclusion he listed fottr nrajor jobs which the National lras to do in llehalf of the lumber dealers. These are: (l) To protect the industry against trndesirable legislation and regulation; (2) to help protect and preserve the systerrr of private cnterprise, (3) to, make sure the public appreciates the valuable function that dealers perform in its behalf, and (4) to help expand the demand for materials.

O'llrien llenderson, sales manager, Ry-Lock Co., I-tcl., San Leandro, spoke on tl.re subject of "Merchandising Yottr Specialties."

John W. Strong, of the National Aclvertising Co', explained the merits of the outdoor advertising sign being installed all over the country, which he claimed enables the dealer to talk to the most people for the least amount of money.

Robert Williams, Allied Building Credits, Inc., San Francisco, took as his topic "The Importance of Installment Selling." He stated that the world's largest retail market lies in installment selling, and urged the dealers to advertise in the newspapers, in their stores, and on their

trucks, that the public can do its remodeling at no down payment.

"A New Plan tsook Service" was discussed by Robert Vance, general sales manager, National I'lan Service, Inc., Chicago, rvho presented what has been described as "The finest constructive selling service ever produced for the building industry." The plan book of this service contains 96 pages, u'ith modern home designs in full color, and cditorial merchandising pages covering a wide range of buil<ling materials.
