The strike of CIO woodworkers, which started April 28 at midnight, has closed several hundred sawmills, plywood and door plants, and logging camps in Oregon, Washington and Northern California. As we go to press there has been no settlement of the strike.
Douglas fir production has been curtailed about 40/o, or at the rate of nearly a half billion feet a month. Most of the logging camps are CIO but many of the plants now remaining open by working 1og inventories are AFL.
The 22 Pacific Northwest plywood plants affected are losing a rveekly cut of about 8 million square feet.
A few pine mills in Northern California are affected by the strike. ***
The carpenter's strike in the San Francisco Bay Area is still on, and no settlement is in sight as we go to press.
Lumber shipments tf 4;,i,,,Jr.nor,ing to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 5.5 per cent above production for the week ended April 26, 1952.

No other commercially produced wood can surpass PL top-quality Redwood in"stayput" ability.lts great resistance to warping, swelling and shrinkage places it in the top class of all woods. Even after long exposure to the weather, it has the least tendency to cup, twist or pull loose from fastenings. Added to its "stay-p.rt" qualities, PL Redwood offers the greatest uniformity of texture and grain to be found in any redwood lumber. You'll find PL Architectural Quality Redwood is the best of the best. \Yhen you buy, be sure to specify PL Certified Dry Redwood.

A crash in the Montreal Stock Exchange recently proved once again that ceiling plaster is no respecter of protocol. A short time before, the British Embassy in Washington, D. C. was treated to a similar indigadty.
"T'he orimarv aim of our advertising aird meichandising," Mr. McCreery went on to say, "is to give the dealer information about the quality and selling points of each product. Information that will help him increase his sales and win more satisfied customers."
Consistent merchandising of a consistently top-notch product is the one sure way to business success and the 2O year record of Michigan Wholesalers certainly substantiates this fact.

You may be paying more than you think, for "cheap" roofing. Questionnaires returned from many sections of the country indicate that many builders fail to figure the cost of sheathing when estimating roo'fing expense. Certigrade cedar shingles, because of their great strength and rigidity, require only half the sheathing that you must use on ordinary roofing. Yes, spaced sheathing costs about half as much as solid sheathing, and it costs only half as much to apply! You can count on saving about $200 on sheathing and its application when you roof the typical 1952 house with cedar shingles. Normally, you will find that this saving more than makes up for the difference in cost of genuine cedar over substitute roofing.
Sharpen your pencil. Figure the comparative costs of cedar shingles with spaned sheathing as against substitute roofing with solid sheathingWe'll be glad to send you a handy estimating form which includes all of the factors of costs in building a new roof.

Fred Russell, of Nashville, tells the following baseball story in his fine book of sport stories,-"Funny Thing About Sports":
Red Jones, American League umpire, tells about a colored arbiter in Georgia by the name of Watermelon Young. In the afternoons anil on Sundays he umpired Negro baseball games, but in the mawnin'he drove a produce wagon and his principal procluce was watermelons.
One afternoon Red went over to. watch the colored game. Watermelon was umpiring. The score was close and excitement ran high in the. late innings. Suddenly one player singled to centerfield and tried to stretch it into a double. There was a throw to second base and he either was or was not out. It was a close, dusty play, and a terrific argument developed. Both teams stormed toward Watermelon and soon were joined by delegations pouring out of the stands. There was loud talking and pushing and waving of hands. This went on for about ten minutes. Fin-
ally Watermelon seemed to get order and appeared to be making a speech. Then he waved the runner back to first base, the players returned to their positions, and the fans slowly retreated to the stands. Everybody seemed satisfied.
As soon as he could, Jones slipped down into the first row of seats behind the catcher, and summoned Watermelon. He had so admired the handling of the situation that he wanted to know how he reached such a decision.
"There wasn't much to it," explained Watermelon, "f just said 'There seems to be considerable argument here.' 'They is,' the crowd said to me. 'A lot of people think this man was out,' f said, 'and a lot think he was safe.' 'That's right' said the crowd. 'But we is all agreed,' I said, 'that the man was safe at first base.' 'That's right,' said the crowd. 'Then the most sensible thing is to put the man back on first where we is all agreed,' f said, 'and let the ball game go on.' That's all there was to it."

The 3-minute open dip-tank treatment, with various methods to accelerate draining and drying, has been used for years by millwork manufacturers to meet NWMA standards for fungicidal control against decay, and for Swellograph dimensional control tests to determine water repellent efficiency. Many disadvantages are inherent in virtually all these procedures which add to cost by slowing up production, create expensive "housekeeping" problems and generate dangerous fire hazards. Now these disadvantages have been overcome by this new Wood-Treating "Vacuum Sealer" which makes available to the millwork industry the "final vacuum method" of quick'drying treated sash and doors-a method long employed by the wood preserving industry as the bestn cheapest and most practical of all. Briefly, this relatively inexpensive Vacuum Sealer offers these desirable benefits:
O Better dietribution and deeper penetration of preservative within the wood giives better protection
O A dryer surface faster for glazing, painting and finishing without lost production time
O No dripping on floors and equiprrrent elirrinatee housekeepin g problerns
o Fire hazard is reduced to a minimum
O Initial vacuurn. ehorter dip, and final vacuum drying require no rnore tirne than the old dip-and-drain rnethods
O Easily adapted to put any arnount ofpreeervetivo into the wood for special requirernentst extra severe service. etc.

The report is particularly useful in affording a comparison of the experience of those companies which have been in the program of the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association for three years with those which have participated only in the last year.
The report indicates, by code nurnber, 25 companies for which accident records are given for the three years 1949, 1950, and 1951 and 25 companies for which records are available only for the year 1951.
The 25 companies frrr which figures are presented for three vears reported an impressive downward trend in the average frequency rate as foll,rws:
Lost-time injuries, per million m3n-hsu1s-1949, 65.4; 1950, 64.0: 1951. 50.8.
The rate for 1951 is 22 per cent below that for 1949.
These 25 companies experienced 1,323 lost-time injuries in 1951 with an exposure of 26,048,N0 manhours. If the same frequency rate had prevailed in 1951 as in 1949, these companies would have had more than 1,700 disabling injuries. The irr-rproved record, therefore, represents a reduction of nearly 400 lost-time injuries.
The 25 companies listed in the report with accident records ior only the year 1951 experienced 875 lost-time injuries with ari exposure of 72,043,000 manhours, representing an average frequency rate of 72.7.
This rate is 43 per cent greater than the average frequency rate of 50.8 in 1951 for the 25 companies which have maintained detailed accident records for the past three years. The cr-rmbined rate for the 50 companies was 57.7 in 1951.
The California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association is to be congratulated on the fine record of achievement an-Iong its member companies. The great value of a concerted and continuing program of accident prevention is dramaticallv 1rr-rrtrayed in the 1951 report of the Association. t-
In the year 1923 a group representing the lumber industry met in the offices of the California Industrial Accident Cornmission, now known as the Division of Industrial Safety, ancl organized the California Lumbermen's Accident preventiorr Association. This organization dedicated itself to the task of reducing industrial accidents in the forest products industries in the State of California. Ry forest products industries is meant those companies and individuals concerned with the production, transportation and rnanufacture or remanufacture of lumber or lumber products and the distribution of the sarire to the ultimate consumer.
Since the inception of the Association meetings have been held annually in various parts of the State. At these meetings members compare accident experiences, discuss causes and remedies and attempt to maintain a cooperative and mutuall1, helpful contact with the Division of Tndustrial Safety and its compliance agencies.
Splendid cooperation has been given the organization by the Division of Industrial Safety. The close association which is fostered has resulted in the members of the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association being more
fully informed concerning contemplated action by the Division of Industrial Safety which might seriously and unwarrantably affect the industry.
The purposes for which the Association is formed are: To encourage a greater interest tl-rroughout the State of California in the prevention of industrial accidents in branches of the lumber and 'n'oodu'orking industries, and to that end to collect and disseminate i'nformation concerning, among other things, the number and types of such accidents, the causes' thereof, and safety devices and procedures, and to co-operate with all governmental agencies, the functions of which either in whole or in part are related to sucl-r accidents.
The Association is a clearing house for accident prevention education and new ideas and methods that may be of benefit to its members in their efforts to reduce tl-re accident toll in the industry. Member companies are kept fully advised of all Association activities and are free to consult with the Association regarding acciclent prevention problems.
The Association is a non-profit corporation. Its offices are at 1610 Harrison Street, Oakland 12, Calif. The telephone number is Hlgate 4-6076. D. N. Edwards is secretary.

In the old days and for many years on end, lumber conventions were financed by various methods, usually by the collecting of funds from the local lumbermen of the convention city. That is, retail lumber conventions generally were financed in that fashion.
This imposed no small burden on the local fraternity, and committees of invitation were frequently slow to rise at one meeting and extend invites to one for next year.
Then came a new and bright thought into the lumber convention world: exhibits. That is, exhibits that were rented by irholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors, and in which were displayed their wares in such fashion that the convention delegates could see them. The idea grew wonderful$. It grew through the merit system. Exhibitors began giving much attention to their booths, to the merchandise, and to the arrangements of same. And conventions delegates and visitors came to look becausc they found much to interest them.
Today there are few retail lumber conventions lacking interesting and attractive exhibit departments in connection with the business sessions. Some of them are very large and very elaborate. They are highly satisfactory to the exhibitors, as well as to the delegates. They pay generous rentals for space in which to show their wares. More than that the exhibit booths act as headquarters for the personnel of the exhibitors, and here they meet and welcome their friends, serve refreshments in some cases, give souvenirs in others, and altogether make their exhibit space play a prominent and useful part in the convention.
And they solve the financial problems of the association, and supply funds with which to finance the cost of the convention; and such costs, like most other things, are very high these days. So the exhibit idea helps finance the convention, affords the exhibitors attractive display places for their merchandise, gives the delegates and visitors added interest in the meeting, and thus performs important services all around.
Young says the storage bins were built with 2,x4 lumber with three divisions for 4'x8' sheets one division for odds and ends. Each division has six tiers. On the posts separating the divisions, he placed small tickets giving the grade, thickness and price.
"That's all it took," says Young, "to jump our plywood sales about 40 per cent and that's a conservative estimate. It's easier to fiIl the bins from the main driveway and it is even easier to load a truck to fill orders."
Young says that the plywood bins are now located so a customer can't miss them as he .comes into the yard. Buyers usually stop at the bins, look over the price and and grade tags and often pick up a couple of panels. He thinks the idea has been particularly helpful in selling odds and ends and that buyers like to go through the scraps to pick up 'ivhat look like bargains.
"Everybody," says Young, "has a use for plywood, providing you remind him of it by putting your plywood out where he can see it."
A year ago J. E. Young, o\\'ner-manager of Stervart Lumber ancl llardlvare Co. of Seattle, \\rash., moved his plyrvood storage bins off a second story level in a little used shed to a spot dorvn near the drivervay in the main shed rvhere every customer that comes into the yard sees the plywood before he sees anything else.
Result-Young hiked his plvrvood sales 4O per cent.

Ira E. Horton, plesident of the South City Lumber & Suppll' Co., South San Francisco, w-as elected president of the Lumber. \{erchants Association of Northern California at the 12th Annual Convention of that organization, held in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, April 23,24 and 25.
Russ Stevens, A. F. Stevens Lumber Co., Healdsburg, was re-elected vice president; Jack F. Pomeroy was re-elected execut:ve vice president, and Everett King, King Lumber Company, Bakersfield, was elected treasurer.
New directors elected were W. H. Besecker, Wilmars, Inc., San Jose; Ray Noble, Visalia Lumber Co., Visalia ; J. R. (Bob) Raymer, Yosernite Builders Supply Co., Merced, and J. O. Handley, Cirrmel Builders Supply Co., Carmel.
Attendance at the convention was a record. The exhibits were numerous and interesting to the retailers, including a:r they did many nationally advertised products. The speakers were well chosen, and they were rewarded by the close attention of their audiences at the various business sessions. Altogether the program reflected great credit on Jack Pomerov, the Association's executive president
Wednesday
Registration, in charge of Claire Zimmerman, of the Association, began at 9:00 a.m. The equipment and products exhibit started at the same time.
J H. I(irk, Kirk Lumber & Building Materials Co., Santa Maria, president of the Association, presided at the kick-off luncl,eon in the Gold Room.
H. R. "Cotton" Northup, executive vice pres:dent of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, \\-ashington, D.C., addressed the convention on the subject, "'Report Frora Washington." He expressed optimism about the construction industry's prospects for the rest of 1952. He guesscrl tlrat there would be about one rnillion starts of nen hor.ites in 1952, and that there will be no controls on business bv the firsi of next year. The speaker discussed the competition the clealer has to contend with in such materials as "aluminum lurnber," as manufactured by Reynolds Metals Co. These so-called substitutes will be handled by dealers in the future, if the public wants them, he said.
Mr. Northup commended the 30-day training schools. He said that yard managers need to know more about personnel, financing, collections, materials handling, ancl merchandis ng, and that the schools are teaching this needed knowledge.
Don A. Campbell, president of Boner-Campbell Lun.rber Co., Lebanon, Kentucky, spoke on "Where Do \\Ie Go From Here." -fhe speaker said that many retail lumber yards, the majoritv in fact, do not benefit by our present defense spencling, and unless they are apprehensive about what lies around the next curve, the brakes may be put on too late. He issued this u'arning:
"'What all of us in this country must deci<le is u'hether we are for or against a system which has given us the greatest country in the world. If we are for it, we must have the courage of our convictions and fight for its preservation. \\'e must
;
have the willpower to turn our backs on federal-money wherl the purposes for which it is to be used are unsound and r1neconomica!. We must not compromise the principles of this great system for short-lived personal gains. We must not delude ourselves into believing we can get something for nothinq so long as it comes from the government. We must believe in individual freedom and the dignity of man as bequeathed to us by God. We must live by the principles of our God-given freedom and human rights, as recognized and guaranteed by our Constitution. We must intelligentlv read and interpret the signs around us so that we will know the road we are traveling.
"There is one thing all of us should remember each nlorninjl as we open our places of business-and that is, this preseltt boom is old. Many consumer needs have been met, and customers are not rushing into tal<e goods from us. Our cost of operation has increased, and our government is doing ever):thing in its power to curtail our business to the point where it may be the sickest industry of all.
"We are inclined to overlook entirely the number of items and the volume of sales by-passing us today in distribution. Our increased volume has blinded us to the tremendous amount of business we are losing to non-dealer competition."
Arthur S. Goldman, director of marketing and research of the Architectural Forum, gave a most interesting talk on "Long-Term Financing for Home Modernization." His discussion of this subject undoubtedly planted the idea in the minds of many dealers present that the modernization field holds many opportunities for present and future business.
Nineteen Kittens were initiated into the mysteries of HooHoo at the Concat sponsored by San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club No.9, and held at 5:39 Wednesday evening. There tvere three reinstatements; There was a very good attendance, and judging by their close attention they enjoyed the excellent work of the officiating Nine, and were much amused by the mannikin stunt which was originated at the Florida convention, and was used at the Concat.

"Again, in the first quarter ol 1952, lumber shipments from the \Vestern Pine region have been maintained at a level considerably above expectations. This has occurred desprte the very substantial drop in both residential and non-residentlal construction starts and the extremely unfavorable rveather conditions in many parts of the oroducing area.
"Present estimates of industry performance for the first three months of this year are, of course, preliminary. However, it is indicated that regional shipments rvill total ,close to one and one-half billion feet or only 3 per cent belorv those of the same 1951 period. Production in the region, which rvill apparently be near the 1,300 million mark, is 7l per cent under that of the 1951 first quarter. Total lumber stocks at the mills ll'ere decreased 200 million during the first three months of the year.
"The number of non-farm dwelling units started in January and February is reported as about 13 per cent below that of the same months last year. Non-residential construction contracts for February are estimated at 30 per cent under a year ago. Such developments brought some immediate relaxation in government controls and there are indications that further revisions are in prospect. Several restrictions on commercial and industrial construction have been eased by NPA. Credit policies applying to home construction are under review and, already, 10 per cent dorvn-payment requirement on residential remodeling has been dropped. Further easing of such credit requirements appears to be a possibility. The new, so-called, 'stretch out' of the defense program promises to make available for civilian use a larger volume of critical materials.
"Some analysts, both inside and outside the government, continue the prediction of 800,000 to 850,000 housing starts for 1952. Others foresee a possible 900,000 to 1,00O,000 units and such forecasts are strengthened by the recent easing of federal restrictions. There is, however, the uncertainty as to the effects of thse, both as to time and extent. High costs and the availability of mortgage funds, at terms rvithin the reach of the average home building prospect, are also favorable factors. All in all there is still much doubt as to immediate construction outlook and, consequently. as to over-all lumber demand tor 1952,
"Based on such factors and all other available information, it now seems probable that, during the second quarter of. 1952, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 1,850 million feet. This would be about 10 per cent less than second-quarter 1951 shipments but will exceed any previous second quarter prerformance except the years 1950 and 1951."

The number one barrrer to successful human relations is lack of interest o;r the part of the other fellorv in you, your business, your product, your ideas or your proposition.
One sure way so far discovered to overcome this lack of interest is for you to first take an interest in the other fellow. Just to the extent and the degree you show an interest in him, hrs ideas, his business ; just to that extent will he some day show a like interest in you.
By practicing the art of taking an interest in the other fellow (or as we say, practice getting along with people) you then start a friendly relatior and once started are better able to maintain it. Starting and maintaining friendly relations with all segments of your public builds public goodwill. And public goodwill is the end desired of all, so-called public relations.
f f a firm, let us say, makes a thousand sales a month, it may be said that the people involved in these sales represent that firm's public as customers for that month. But, it certainly cannot be held that that firm went out and in one fell swoop negotiated a thousand sales with A Public. ft was accomplished by one transaction at a time between someone in that firm and another individual. Therefore, it will help a lot in our approach to our public relations activities if we forget about the terrn Public Relations and think in terms of Individual Relations.
Too rnany owners, managers and executives are strangers to those persons who comprise their logical public. The result is negative chain reactions. Whenever we say or do something that pleases another person we start a favorable chain-reaction. Once started it operates independently of us. We no longer control it. We cannot control it because we have no control over other people's reactions to our deeds or words. People feel what they feel and think what they think. This is why it is so dangerous to ever start a negative chain-reaction.
The four objectives I recommend that should be includerl in any firm's public relations goal are:
1. That your firm be recognized as a good citizen to its conrmunity and the Nation.
2. That your firm be recognized as a good place to work.
3. That your firm be thought of as a good place to trade and do business.
4. That your firm be recognized as an integral part of the American system of freedom of the individual and free enterprise.
In the final analysis we are dependent upon others for whatever material prosperity or happiness we want out of this world. No man succeeds by himself. Others help make him successful. By the same token no man fails by himself. Others condemn him to failure. We are utterly dependent upon what others think of us and how they regard our actions.
All attempts to overcome being a stranger with your particular public should start at home, under your o\\'n hat in your own business. Everybody from the boss down to the most humble employee should be brought into the program of trying to build a large measure of favorable public opinion. The cardinal principle underlying all human relations is the attitude of being sincerely humble-to always respect the other fellow's viewpoint; to consider his problems important. It is our Godgiven right and our human obligation to respect the other fellow, regardless of his position and to help him maintain his dignity.
We should adhere to the formula of Christ: "All things therefore, wh'atsoever, ye would tlat men should do unto you; even so, do ye also unto them." To thoroughly apply that formula in all that we say and do to others, that is all anyone needs to be sure that his human relations program is kept on the right track.
Knowing all these things it is amazing the percentage of business men, and top level managers who disregard them. The reason for this attitude is pure indifference. Yet, in the realm of understanding ourselves and our fellowmen there is a tremendous amount of work to be done.
"You are the fellow who has to decide, Whether you'll do it or toss it aside, You are the fellow who makes up your mind Whether you'll lead or linger behind; Whether you'll reach for the good that's afar Or be content to stay where you are. Take it or leave it. There's something to do. Just think it over. It's all up to you."

The Morcrl
The moral is that gardeners pine, Whene'er no pods adorn the vine. Of all sad words experience gleans, The saddest are: "It might have beans." (I did not make this up myself : 'Twas in a book upon my shelf. It's witty, but I don't deny, ft's rather Whittier than I.)
-Guy Wetmore Carryl. TheScrddest Words
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are, "It might have been."
More sad are these we daily see, "It is, but it hadn't ought to be."
How the universal heart of man blesses flowers ! They are wreathed round the cradle, the marriage altar, and the tomb. The Persian in the Far East delights in their perfume, and writes his love nosegays; whil'e the Indian child of the Far West clasps his hands with glee as he gathers the abundant blossoms-the illuminated scriptures of the prairies. The Cupid of the ancient Hindoos tips his arrows with flowers, and orange-flowers are a bridal crown with us, a nation of yesterday.
Flowers garlanded the Grecian altar, and hung in votive wreath before the Christian shrine. All these are appropriate uses. Flowers should deck the brow of the youthful bride, for they are in themselves a love$r type of marriage. They should twine round the tomb for their perpetually renewed beauty isa symbol of the resurrection. They should festoon the altar, for their fragrance and their beauty ascend in perpetual worship before the Most High.- L. M. Child.
What a place to be in is an old library. It seems as if all the souls of all the writers that had bequeathed their labors to these Bodleians were reposing here in some dormitory, or middle state. f do not want to handle, to profane the leaves, their winding-sheets. I could as soon dislcdge a shade. I seem to inhale learning, walking amid their foliage; and the odor of their old moth-scented coverings as the first bloom of these sciental apples which grew amid the happy orchard.-Charles Lamb.
"Is there any legend about that mountain?" asked the tourist of a native.
"Yep," was the reply, ,'Two lovers once went up that mountain, and never came back again.',
"'What happened to them?" asked the tourist.
"Went down the other side," said the native.
The stranger called on the farmer and presented his card. "I'm a government inspector," he said, "and this is my authority to look over your farm."
"Go ahead," said the good-natured farmer.
A few minutes later the farmer saw the inspector being chased across the field by a vicious-looking bull, and shouted to him:
'Show him your card, Mister, show him your card."
"Whosoever is in possession of a true friend, sees the exact coulltepart of his own soul. fn consequence of this moral resemblance betlveen them, they are so intimately one that no advantage can attend either, which does not equally communicate itself for both."-Cicero.
"It was so cold last night I couldn't sleep. I just lay there all night and shivered."
"Did your teeth chatter?"
"I don't know-we don't sleep together."
If nobody smiled, and nobody cheered, And nobody helped us along, ff every man looked after himself, And good things al1 went to the strong; If nobody cared just a little for you, And nobody thought about me, And we all stood alone in the battle of life. What a dreary old world this would be.
Make new friends, but keep the old, Those are silver, these are gold. New-made friendships, like new wine, Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the testTime and change-are surely best; Brow may wrinkle, hair grow grey, Friendships never know decay. For 'mid old friends tried and true, Once more we our youth renew. But old friends a15o may die, New friends must their place supply.
. Cherish friendships in your breastNew is good, but old is best. Make new friends but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold.

two four-session evening classes held for the employees of the two llammond Lumber Company plants at Samoa and Eureka. On the basis of this experience it was decided to hold general schools in lumber producing centers open to anyone who wished to attend. The enthusiastic reception of all of the schools held to date has been beyond the fondest hopes of their founders. The chief inspector of the California Redwood Association, George W. Nelson, assisted by Ralph Talvola, assistant chief, has conducted these schools.

Nelson, chiel inspector oI the Cclilornic Redwood Agsoci- ction, conducting c eeseion ol the Redwood Grcrding School held recently in Fort Brogg, cssisted here by Louis Ehting oI the Associction" Rclpb Tqlvolcr, assistant chiel inspector, cnd Frqncis Windlinx, irrspector.

A wise industry never overlooks the fact that the men who work to make it a success are generally endowed with creative sense. Often this sense comes ahead of the profit motive and 'is properly a mark of the civilized man. That is the fundamental reason for the outstanding success of the grading schools now being operated by the Inspection Division of the California Redwood Association.
These grading schools, the first of which was held last vear in Crescent City, are an outgrowth of a long-time attempt to improve the effectiveness of grader training techniques. In addition to work with the individual graders, the inspectors have always conducted grading schools, but until last year on an exceedingly informal basis,, usually consisting of a single session with rnen from a single plant.
The first experiment with more forrnal schools consisted lf
Attendance has been entirely voluntary. The enthusiasm of the students was proven by Wayne Baumgartner who drove ten miles each way over a rough logging road in the course of which he sometimes had to shovel snow from the road, to attend all five of the Arcata sessions. Or W. H. Hays, who attended five Arcata sessions, five Eureka sessions and then made the remark that he would attend the Fort Bragg sessions if it were possible for him to do so. Fred Travis drove from Fortuna to Arcata, 26 miles each way, to attend sessions there, and then attended the school at Eureka. John Hubert drove at least 48 miles each way from Gualala to the Cloverdale school. Geral P. Selsor and Meivin Carlson, truck driver and rnachine operator, respectively, wished to learn more about redwood at their own expense, as did Oliver Moore, who works with lumber, but wanted to pay for the course himself rather than l.rave his employer billed.
A cross-section of the attendance at the Eureka school recently completed shows that of the 157 registered 15 or l0/o were foremen and supervisors, 34 or 22/o were graders, 24 or l5/o were tallymen, 13 or 8/o were sawyers,2l or l4/o were edgermen and trimmermen, and the balance of 50 or 32/o were office workers, machine operators, carrier drivers, etc., all of them eager to devote these evenings to learning more about redrn'c'od lumber.
An examination consisting usrrally of about 20 questions was given at each meeting, and at the final session the men were given an opportunity to grade lumber and compare the results of their own judgment with the ofificial decisions.
Much of the credit for the enthusiasm clisplayed at the
schools is due to the supervisory personnel whose faithful attendance and zeal stimulated interest and served as an example to those under their supervision.
The cooperation of the mills in providing redwood samples and assigning men and equipment to handle and transport the lumber used in the schools was verv helpful.
