W. T: ("Bill") Black

William T. ("Bill") Black, vice president and advertising manager for THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT, died at his home in San Francisco, California, May 18th, after a long illness. Funeral services were held in San Francisco on May 20th, and cremation followed, as Mr. Black had wished.

He was born in Ireland in September, 1882. When he was just 14 years-of-age he joined the British Army and fought through the Boer War in South Africa. After th.rt was he went to Canada, where others of his family had gone, and there he got his first training as a journalist in British Columbia.

He came to California about D years ago and immediately joined THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT as advertising and news solicitor. He never married. Survivors, besides a number of cousins, are his two brbthers, Fred K. Black, of Winnipeg, Canada, and Gordon B. Black, of Vancouver, British Columbia.

He n'as a member of the San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club, and of the East Bay Hoo-Iloo Club.

To his associates on THE LUMBER MERCHANT "Bill" Black rvas one of the great men of the world. No man ever born was more honorable, more loyal, more faithful to every trust and interest, and to those who knerv

him well he was the most lovable of men. The lumber industry was his very life. He was one of its great siudents, a rvalking volume of important information concerning the industry and its followers. His friends in the industry were legion. Innumerable strong men have said to others on this journal: "We just love 'Bill" Black." ft was thus that countless people knew him.

He rvas a quiet man who kept his own counsel. Work was his watchword. He loved and lived his job. He had a great sense of humor under his quiet exterior. He was a deeply religious man, and lived up to the finest perfection of such a man. To his close friends he manifested a fierce devotion. He was the kind of a friend who sought always to serve his friends. He loved music, had a fine Irish tenor voice, and rvhen the occasion allowed he sang the old Irish ballads with fervor and delight.

A pall of darkness settled down over THE LUMBER MERCHANT on May l8th. That was the day he died. His friends truly "died a little" that day. Yet for every tear shed for "Bill" Black there should be a thousand smiles; not the shock of his passing but the wonderful satisfaction in knou'ing that he hail been here and left much of his mighty spirit behind, is his finest monument. Those rn'ho loved him, rejoice because they knew him, loved him, and rvas in turn loved by him.

It has been said that seldom in this world is a really great man born. True. And'Bill" Black was one "who led all the rest."

WE HEAR MUCH ABOUT THE HOUSING SHORTAGE IN THIS COUNTRY, YET THAT WOULD BE AN EASY PROBLEM TO HANDLE. ALL vt/E WOULD HAVE TO DO IS SHIP ALL THE COMMUNISTS, THE PRO-COMMUNISTS, THE PINKS, THE PUNKS, THE FELLOW-TRAVELERS AND ALL THAT BROOD TO RUSSIA ON A ONE-WAY TICKET. THAT WOULD LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR GOOD AMERICANS.

Senator Joe McCarthy is learning the same bitter lesson that Martin Dies learned years ago, namely, that any man who attempts to search and ferret out and fight the Communists in this country, has a tough row to hoe. McCarthy, like Dies, is being subjected to a tornado of misrepresentation, calhmnly, vituperation, and ridicule. Tortures and indignities are being heaped upon him by the hatchet-men who serve-knowingly or unknowingly---directly or indirectly-the Kremlin.

***

We are taking our pen in hand at this time to announce to all concerned that we are strictly in the McCarthy corner in this battle, and frankly suspicious of those who attack him while he attacks subversives and their work.

*{c*

Martin Dies only recently returned to the Washington scene as Congressman-at-large from Texas. Years ago, when he was Chairman of the Dies Committee that sought to battle Communism and Communists here at home, he was literally driven out of Congress by powerful political forces, spearheaded by Pres. and Mrs. Roosevelt. He testified in Congress and wrote into the official records-without denial from the White House-that as soon as he started his crusade against American Communists, he was called to the White .Ilouse and Pres. Roosevelt tolC him: "Martin, you've got to stop this investigation. Lots of my friends are Communists."

***

McCarthy faces in some ways an easier task than did Dies, because no longer do the Commies and their friends and defenders sit in such high places as their did during the New Deal days. Thc job is being handled largely by snipers, by men and women, many of whom pose as the right sort of Americans, while seeking by fair means or foul to strike down McCarthy and his kind. There is one big difference. Martin Dies, a gentleman of the old school

and a man of high honor, did not enjoy the back-blasting attacks that were made on him. He rcscntd ttem, as he properly should.

But the more the reds and yellows attack McCarthy, tbe better he likes it. It gets them out from under cover, whcrc he can strike back He is of the Irish breed ttag saF: 'fs this a private 6ght, or can I get in it?" You can't frighten McCarthy; and a man who doesn't scare is onc of thc greatest needs of the hour. You can't attack Communism in America today without being in return attackcd; which is okay with Senator Joe. Remembcr, it isn't thc size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the 6ght in thc dog. ***

And that marks the difference between lum and Eany good and well-intentioned Americans who hate Communism and would like to s€e it crushed but arc unwilling personally to pay the price that goes with such combat today. If you decide to fight Communism in this land today, you've got to make up your mind in advance to pay the price, for you will certainly become the target of the stink-pot throwers. Remember Alec McGuinness who fought Communism in Hollywood until he broke down and died under the strain. When he was asked what ttey had against him in Hollywood, he replied: '"Ihey caught me with an American flag in my hand." ***

Why should not people who hate and fear Comnunism and want to see it eradicated in this country, rally behind Senator McCarthy? Surely he has tte courage, the brains, the terrific vigor and enthusiasm, and whatever else it takes for leadership in this issue. And quit pulling that foolish remark: "I like McCarthy's objectives, but don't approve of his methods." Just what weapon would you us€ in this war, Junior? A powder pufr? ***

We even heard of people who did not approve of the

very impolite language of a Texan, Capt. R. A. Kerley, during World War Two. His battalion was surrounded and isolated for three days in Brittany, and a German officer called on him to surrender. He replied: "You go to helM'll surrender when all our ammunition is gone and all our bayonets are sticking in German bellies !" Afterward a superior officer said to him: "You had a hell of a nerve to tell the German that." And Kerley answered: "He had a hell of a nerve to make me that proposition." We have a notion that Capt. Kerley, if called upon, would handle the Communist situation in this country today in about the same abrupt and impolite fashion that Sen. McCarthy is doing. Why be polite to skunks?

'F,F*

McCarthy seems to believe in the Douglas MacArthur type of combat; all out effort for victory. He wants to dig out the reds and their defenders and drive them so far out of this country that it would cost a million dollars just to mail a postcard back. Like that great English warrior, John Hampden, he seems to believe that moderation in war is imbecility. And don't forget, Junior, THIS IS WAR! A war on which depends the very life of this nation. This gallant Irishman is leading in a death struggle. This is no fencing match with blunt points. ft is war to the death.

***

Looks like Senator McCarthy might well say to his fellow Americans what the colored man said to the Lord when he found himself facing a fight for life against a big bear. He said: "Oh Lawd, I nevah asted you fo' nothin' befo'and if You he'p me dis time I ain't evah gwine to ast You fo' nothin' agin; but Lawd, if You cain't he'p me don't he'p de bear, but lay low an' say nothin' an' I'll show You de doggondest bear fight what evah taken place in dis country."

***

Recently there came to these shores an old British gat called "Lady" Astor. After 73 years of minding everybody's business except her own in England, she began screaming for public attention by uttering insults concerning Senator McCarthy. When he heard of her insults, he smilingly remarked that she must be a "nice old lady." Showing, of course, the difrerence between a Wisconsin gentleman, and a British "Lady."

***

Then she tried to back her play by saying that she had learned by reading some of the papers that she is not alone in her disapproval of the Senator. And how right she is ! No, indeed, she is not alone ! She has company galore. To begin with, there's Malenkov. I{e's on her side. He too dislikes McCarthy and his metfiods. Vishinsky, the man of blood for ghoulish Stalin doesn't like McCarthy or his methods. Neither does Molotov. They are all on Lady Astor's side. And here in the United States there are thousands of Commies and their friends who seek and hope to overthrow this government; all of them are very critical of McCarthy.

Sam Jones, famous Southern revivalist of another day, used to say that "if you tluow a rock into a passel of hounds, it's the hit dog that squeds." Every time Senator McCarthy throws a rock at thc Commies, loud squeals promptly follow. And don't doubt for a minute, Junior that it is the hit dog that is doing the squcding. This breed of creeping, crawling, libcrty-hating pintoe here at home il they had their way would tear down Old Glory from on high and put tte hamrncr and sickle in its place. They all hate and opposc and criticize McCarthy. They are all on Lady Astor's tearn. tt*

And do you know something, Junior? Every time we hear or read about some bird denouncing McCarthy or anyone else who is out in the open fighting Communisn and defending Americanism, we wor.dd like to bare the back of the denouncer and see if the sign of thc hammer and sickle isn't visible somewhere on his carciass. We are not at all certain that Lady Astor could stand such a survey. Like Harnlet's mother, "She doth protest too much'"

The Good Book says: "By tteir works you shall know them-" That goes particularly for Cornrnies and fell-traveler. Watch the fellow who is trying to drive a wedge bctween President Ike and Senator McCarthy. There is a lot of such effort being made these days, as those who read and hear, and ttrink can testify. Naturdly thc best way to fight McCarthy and defend Communigm would bc to discredit the Senator with our Prcsidcnt. So cvery timc we read or hear of some p€rsoq groupr or organization that seems to be seeking to bring McCarthy into discredit with ttre White flousc, we take a careful look at the samc, and jot down tfie name and address for further watching. Those who seek to drive wedges bctween leading antiCommunists should all be on t:tre "watch'em" liEt.

Many years ago, long bcfore tte danger from Communism at home had reached the shocking proportions it has now attained, we heard a famous Amcrican patriot plcading with a big audience for an America for Anericans only, and he said: '"Ihere is no room under the American flag for disloyalty to the American Constitution. If I had my way I'd put everyone who lives in this country yct yet seeks to destroy it, on a ship of stone, with cails of lea4 and send them out on a sea of 6re, with a hurricane bchind them, and hell for destination." The whole audience stood up to applaud. Maybe we need a return to ttat mental attitude, don't you think so, Junior?

21st Oakland Reveille Proves Big Success

The 2lst annual Reveille of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39, of Oakland, California, proved to be one of the most successful events in its long history. Fully 600 lumbermen attended, coming from all parts of California, as well as from Washington and Oregon, and there was hilarity and fun for all. The golf tournament was a big success, 98 players taking part, which was a record for the event.

At the banquet which followed the cocktail hour, Al Kelley, president of the Club, made the address of welcome, expressing his thanks to the visitors, the sponsors, and to the fine committees whose work had made the gathering a success. He paid special tribute to Lu Green, general chairman.

The Florentine Rooms of the Hotel Claremont was too small to hold the entire crowd, and overflow arrangements had to be made for the more than 600 dinners. There was delicious food in plenty, and Bob Hogan, banquet chairman, saw to it that the steaks were plentiful.

All in all it was described by numerous members present as one of the happiest and most successful meetings in the whole 2l years of Reveille history.

The experienced hand of Joe Peppetone was seen in thc entertainment. Johnny Cook, master of ceremonies for the "Greatest Show on Mirth" introduced an unusual array oi talent. There were the Mason- Kahn Girls, dancers, Val Setz' juggling humorist, Lucile Burnett, a female Mandrake, the Madcaps, a comedy starring Mike Riley and a stream of comedy from the lips of Johnny Cooke that made the boys roar with laughter.

The affair started ofi w'ith golf, and Tom Jacobsen, chairman of the day clairned it lvas a record for contestants, totaling

98. Bert Hasserly won the perpetual trophy with a net of 49 and handicap of 35.

Tom Corbett, Del Travis and Henry Needham tied with a low gross of 79.

NRLDA Board o[ Directors Hold Semi-Annual Meeting

The rapidly growing interest in better merchandising on the part of retail lumber and building materials dealers and the expressed belief that the new administration in Washington i-* approcahing housing and other problems in a constructive manner highlighted the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, held May 3-8 in Washington, D.C.

Henry J. Munnerlyn, NRLDA's president, said that the association's current programs reflect the emphasis dealers are placing on intensive merchandising and pointed to the Dealer Operating Guide, the Dealer Training Manual, the Products Data Book, and the Management Workshops being conducted by various of the Federated Associations.

He also expressed high appreciation of the splendid report he has received from NRLDA's officers, directors, staff, and committee members.

Albert M. Cole, Housing and ,Home Finance Adminstrator, told the Board that the recent increase in FHA and VA intercst rates represents an important step to$'ard assuring that this year's housing production will continue at the high annual rate needed to meet housing needs.

Mr. Cole also stated that he is giving full consideration to the desirability of modifications in existing legislation in relation to minimum downpayments and maximum loans on FHA insured mortgages. He said he felt that, in the decision still to be made as to the future operations of FNMA and as to modification's in FHA's downpayments and maximum loan requirements, the necessity of c.ontinuing housing production at an annual rate of at least a million new units a year lvould be taken fully into account.

H. R. Northup, executive vice president of NRLDA, expressed the industry's confidence in Adminstrator Cole and said the industry faces the real responsiblity of helping him attain his objectives. He said NRLDA hopes that FHA will approve the open-ending of mortgages ll-hich it insures so as to make it easier for home owners to modernize their properties, and that the agency will ofier more attractive terms under Title I and permit a one-half per cent service charge on mortgages written in outlying areas.

The association's National Affairs Counsel, J. H. Else, reported that fine support is being received from members of the National Afiairs Committee and then reviewed the status of pending legislation of interest to dealers, including the freight absorption bill, the proposed authority for standby controls in the event of a grave national emergency, the proposal to hold up any further public housing construction until the subject has been studied by the administration, amendments to the Taft-Hartley Act, the desirability of reducing taxes at the earliest possible date, and various proposals in the field of housing.

A report of the treasurer, Fred R. Stair, showed that the association's finances are in a thoroughly sound condition and that funds are being wisely sPent.

The Board approved a resolution from its Lumber Stand-

ards Committee, of u'hich Donald A. Campbell is chairman, leaffirming its approval of the general principle of substituting grade names for grade numbers and proposing suggested changes in certain of the designations

Phil Creden, chairman of the Public Relations Committee, reported that the Minute Man program, in which individual rlealers send new's releases to their local newspapers and radio stations, continues to bring excellent results. He said that NRLDA is embarked on a fundamentally sound public relations program which is sure to redound to the benefit of the industry as a whole. He added that helping members to do a better job of merchandising is one of the best possible moves toward better relations u'ith the public.

Everett B. Wilson, Public Relations Director, reported that the new Dealer Training lvlanual is getting an unusually good reception, more than 1000 dealers already having ordered in excess of 1500 copies. He said that forthcoming chapters of the Dealer Operaling Guide rvould be devoted to light construction methods, advertising techniques, accounting, and blueprint reading, and that future product sheets for the Guide rvould deal with masonry materials, metal products, plywood, asphalt products, asbestos products, and millwork.

IIe commended the decision of the Lumber Dealers Research Council to finance studies of materials handling and vard layout, the findings of rvhich rn'ould be incorporated in chapters of the Guide.

Results of the 1953 Public Relations Contest rrere announcd by Donald L. I{oore, editor of Southern Building Supplies a.nd a member of the Jurv of Editors which judged the contest. Nlr. I\Ioore stated that ferver entries had been received than in 1952 but that the quality was uniformly higher, showing that dealers are taking a keen interest in their public relations.

He said that au'ards had been made to 39 of the 86 entries and that the certificates rvould be sent to the Managing Officers of the Federated Associations who would present them to the dealers on an appropriate occasion.

Mr. Moore read the names of the following l0 dealers whose entries had been chosen for top national recognition:

John W. Fisher Lumber Company, Santa Monica, California; The A. W. Burritt Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut; Edward Hines Lumber Companv, Chicago, Illinois; Melvin Lumber Company, Norrvalk, Iowa; Davis Lumber Company, Hutchison, Kansas; Gloucester Coal and Supply Company, Gloucester, Massachusetts ; Hamar-Quandt Compa.ny, Houghton, Michigan; Stein Lumber Company, Fredericksburg, Texas; Potomac Supply Corporation, Kinsale, Virginia; C. Starkweather & Son, Incorporated, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.

The educational program u'as reviewed by W. C. Bell, chairman of NRLDA's Educational Committee. who said that interest in the 30-Day Courses being conducted by the Retail Lumber Training Institutes is as great as ever and that the instructional materials are being improved steadily. He re'

ported that nearly 6,000 dealer emplovees have attended 120 courses given at 20 colleges and universities since the program started.

Six reports were made on the various types of Management Workshops being conducted by the Federated Associations. 'l'he consensus was that each type of workshop has advantages and that NRLDA should continue to study the field with a view toward disseminating the experience with each type.

At a Management Conference held just prior to the opening of the Board meeting, the dealer directors enthusiastically approved the preparation of a Merchandising Calendar for retail lumbe.r and building materials dealers. It was suggested that the Calendar be issued first in preliminary form as a chapter of the Dealer Operating Guide and that an appropri:rte committee of NRLDA then be instructed to develop the idea further.

First Junior Logging Conf erence Held at Mendocino \(/oodlands Camp

Fort Bragg, May 4, 1953-The first junior logging conference in the entire nation was held at Mendocino Woodlands camp sixteen miles southeast of Fort Bragg April 29, 30, May 1 and 2.

Over 70 high school stuclents in forestry and lumbering attended the conference which was sponsored by the Redwood Region Conservation Council. In addition more than 25 adults were in attendance, either as instructors or visitors. Students attended from Fort Bragg, Ukiah, \\'illits and South Fork Union high schools.

DeWitt Nelson, California State Forester, and Waldron Hyatt, manager of the .Hammond Lumber Company redwood clivision, were featured speakers. Nelson said that the conierence was living proof that industry had faith in its young men. "llave faith in yourself," he tolcl the boys, "have faith in the outfit for which you are w'orking, and in the nation in which you are living." Hyatt told the students that there were many job.opportunities open to eager young men in the forest rndustry, and that the industry was always looking for promising men.

The c'onference program consisted of a full day field trip to surrounding commercial forests and logging operations, and a day and a half camp program of discussions of forest management problems and demonstrations of forestry and fire lrrotection tools.

The program was planned cooperatively by industry, region high schools, the State Division of Forestry, and the University of California agricultural extension service. Walker B. Tilley, Masonite Corporation forester, Ukiah, was general chairman. R. W. Matthews, Redwood Region Conservation Council President, welcomed the students on their first evening in camp.

During the field trip the students visited a high lead logging operation, state forest thinning plots, the Union Lumber Company Big River Tree Farm, Mathison lookout station near (Jomptche, and old-growth and second-growth logging areas of Masonite Corporation. The field trip was under the direction of John Sweeley, Masonite assistant forester.

The dealers present at the Conference also approved a prop,osal whereby dealers and building products manufacturers rvould be encouraged to coordinate their advertising on specified themes a certain number of times a year, the details to be vyorked out by the same committee which develops the X{erchandising Calendar.

A nationwide survey of business conditions conducted by members of the Executive Committee indicated that on the average dealers' sales volume is slightly higher than a year ago, profits are about the same, accounts receivable are slightly higher, collections are somewhat slower, and mortgage funds had been scarce for VA and Section 8, Title I FHA loans.

It was announced that the Executive Committee had approved Colorado Springs as the site of the annual Board meeting in 1955 and Boston in 1956. The 1954 meeting previously lrad been set for White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

The camp program consisted of discussions of the following topics: Putting a Forest under Management; The Tree and Its Neighbors ; What Trees Should be Cut ? ; Harvesting the Trees We Grow; and Starting a New Crop. The program was directed by Rudy Grah, University of California extension forester. Speakers included Prof. Emanuel Fritz of the University, William Van Sicklen, Union Lumber Company, A. H. Merrill, llammond Lurnber Company, and Edward Burton, Willits forester.

In addition there was a two-hour discussion of fire protection problems and a display of State Division of Forestry fire equipment by Division personnel. During the evenings song fests u'ere led by Woodbridge Metcalf, University of California extension forester.

On the last day of the conference the students saw a demonstration of a tractor diesel power unit by the Berglund Tractor :rnd Equipment Company, Napa. Orman Oak, Union Lumber Company safety director, talked on woods safety.

' The climax of the conference came when a tree was topped and felled before the students' eyes by Union Lumber Company high climbers and Willits Redwood Products Company choppers. A dernonstration of power saws followed the felling exhibition.

Dr. John Zivnuska of the University of California and Dr. I-awrence E. Turner of Humboldt State College outlined to the students advanced study available on a college level in professional forestry and vocational forestry and lumbering.

"It is our hope to make this conference an annual affair," chairman Tilley announced at the close of the program. "This first meeting has been a very successful one with a full program and a lot of interest on the part of the students," he added. The next conference will be held in Humboldt County in cooperation with Humboldt State College, he said.

The conference was financed in part by a $5.00 registration fee for each student. The remainder of the expenses were paid tor by adult memberships of $10.00 apiece, and by the Redwood Region Conservation Council. George Dietterle, Mendocino County Schools secondary coordinator, served as camp director during the four-day meeting,

\Testern Hardwood Lumber Company Changes Hands

lumber yards in the entire nation. During the late s'ar it established a ship equipping company as a sideline, and furnished the millrvork for a large number of ships built at the harbor.

One of the most important business events of recent years took place in Los Angeles on Mav 20, u'hen the \\restern Hardwood Lumber Company changed hands. Frank Connolly and associates sold the entire capital stock of the famous wholesale concern to Walter Erlich and associates. The sale thus includes every possession of Western, real estate, plant, stocks of lumber and merchandise, good u'ill, and everything.

The new owners, as this is being printed, are in the process of organizing. Mr. Erlich u'ill probably be president. Ife states that they u'ill continue to operate the business under the same name, and in the same business fashion that has rnade Western a nationally knorvn organization.

The associates of Mr. Connolly in this important transaction are Glenn Cahill, Sterling Stofle, Gilbert Roswell. and the estate of the late Lawrence Spalding s'ho died about three years ago. Mr. Cahill and Mr. Stofle rvere vice presidents of the veteran \\restern Hardu'ood I-umber Conrpanl'. Mr. Cahill had been rvith \\/estern for 26 years. Mr. Stofle 25 years, and Mr. Connolly 34 vears. At the tirne of the sale, Mr. Connollv rvas majority stockholder.

Tlre company was founded in l90/,, and incorporated in 1906. NIr. D. J. Cahill presided over its destinies until his sndclen death in October, 1942, and he n'as succeeded as President by I\Ir. Connolly. Western grerv steadily in size and importance from 1906 until the recent sale. It oper;rted r-rne of the finest and best equipped s'holesale

The only stockholder of the old orvners rvho remains with the concern is }fr. Gilbert Rosrvell. rrho has been assistant secretary and credit manager for many y€ars.

With regard to the three men u'ho have been directing the operations of Western for many \-ears, Mr. Glenn Cahill is retiring from active business for the time being. trfr. Connolly and I\[r. Stofle are continuing to associate together under the banner of the \\resthard Importing Companl'. located at 552 Old Dock on Terminal Island, in Los Angeles Harbor. ]Ir. Connollv, its owner, organized this company in 1951. and has been in charge of its operations ever since. I\Ir. Stoflle is nos' vice president anC general sales manager. Both Mr. Connolly and Mr- Stotie are making their offices at the \\'esthard plant.

Westhard Importing Compan-v orvns and operates a wholesale lumber yard doing strictlv an off-shore importing business. It \tr'ill carrv some domestic hardu'oods, but only in quantities. "\\-e are going out of the board business," says I\fr. Connoll;*. The \\-esthard plant covers 8 acres, all black topped, on rrhich it has 100.000 feet of lumber sheds, all covered by a sprinkter system.

lVill Superior Products Create Markets?

A thoroughly discredited thought in the realm of merchandising is the old one that said that a superior product will create its own market.

Back in the days when the great writer and philosopherThomas Carlisle-lived and wrote and studied in England, a certain pessimst went out on London Bridge one day with his hands filled with genuine gold sovereigns, and offered them for sale to the thousands who passed him by, for one shilling each.

FIe never made a sale. So Thomas Carlisle, writing of the matter, remarked: "Thousands of people cross London Bridge every day-mostly fools !" V/hat the cynical Carlisle was saying was that most men are fools, because those who crossed and refused the gold were a good cross-section of the popul'ation. (No pun intended.)

What that pessimist who found no buyeis for his gold was doing was tearing to shreds of oft-repeated (though of later origin) mousetrap story, which said: "If a man preach a better serrnon, write a better book, make a better mousetrap than his neighbors, the world will make a pathway to his door, though he live in a wilderness."

For decades that remark was generally credited to Emerson. But when someone instituted a search of Ralph Waldo's writings they found it not. So the well-worn axiom

became, and still remains, a maverick No one knows who wrote it. And modern merchandising has likcwiric discredited its truthfulness.

For it has been overwheloingly determined by practical experience ttrat even though your mousfrp may be five times as efficient and valuable as the next one on the market, the public will never come and ask for it unless you make them comHrkl keep '-aking them. In innumerable instances men with inferior products have fairly shot the feet from under makers of better products by bctter advertising, better merchandising, and bettcr satesmanslip. Better products starve to death evcry day, ufiile inferior ones prevail. Different merchan.lising, ttat's all.

"It developed also that the meeting facilities u.ould be very inadequate and that it rvould not be possible for us to conduct our meetings in a manner u'hich u'ould be conciucive to a good meeting.

0utsell Orher Windows-By 2 to I

There is as great a difference between removable R.O.Ws and ordinary windows as between a vacuum cleaner and a broom.

Women like the patented removable feature because it permits complete removal, from the inside, for fast and easy cleaning.

Men like it because it makes painting and glass replacement quick and convenient. The annoyance of ladders is eliminated. R.O.Ws combine the finest construction

The rnachinery show, sponsored by Southern Pine Association, was held in conjunction witl.r the SPA 38th annual meeting.

Observers report that well over a ntillion dollars in sales resulted from the display ancl der.nonstration of equipment.

Machinery used in forests, mills and re-ntauufactur ing plants was shown. It lvas shipped to the exposition from 2l states and Germany, Sweden and Englano.

"The success of this exposition points up the heightened interest and action by Southern Pine manufacturers in mechanizing their mills," commented H. C. Berckes, executive vice-president of the association.

"SPA subscribers have taken giant strides in recent )'ears t()ward greater nrechanical efticiency," he continuerl. "This meeting mcans another big step forlvard."

Attends Filth Annucri Meetingr ol Western Kiln Clubs

Bob Inglis, President of the Southern California J-umber Seasoning Association, attended the fifth annual meeting of the Western Kiln Clubs held in Boise, Idaho, May 15 and 16 with headquarters at the Owyhee Hotel. He addressed the conclave Friday afternoon on the first day of the meeting May 15 on the subject of "Drying Operations in Southern California by Southern California Lumber Seasoning Association." He also entertained the group with movies of the Kiln operations featuring five Los Angeles companies-Associated Molding Co., E. J. Stanton & Son, Wall Dry Kiln Co., Coast Dry Kiln Co., and Precision Dry Kiln Co.

The chief aim of the new organization is the establishment and guarantee of commercial standards applicable to their products. It has issued and is publicizing a standard door guarantee under which its members will make and sell their doors. Mr. Carlow says: "These rnanufacturers in addition have inserted some changes in the various commercial standards applicable to their products which provide for better quality than actually is found in the commercial standards involved. These manufacturers witl also begin grademarking their products before the beginning of the third quarter of this year."

The film covered the technical problems of Kiln Drying in the Southern California area as compared with the features of drying one species of lumber in plants in the northern territory. "All species of lumber are handled in the Southern Cdifornia plants to meet the steadily increasing demands of the building trade, cabinet shops, planing mills and allied wood-working industry and the operators in this part of the country face prob' lems that are not prevalent elsewhere," said Mr. Inglis. Kilns in Southern California are gearqd to handle fast drying of dl species of both hardwoods and softwmds, he continued.

The membership of Western Kiln Clubs includes all companies in the I-os Angeles area and the meeting in Boise was a joint gathering of the seven western kiln dtJntg associations, according to Mr. Inglis.

Navy officials have since advised the National Lumber Manufacturers Association that they are w'ell satisfied u'ith the more than 3,000 containers purchased under the revised specifications.

The Name Is Bacon-Not Bronm

In the May I issue of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER \IERCHANT there appeared an error that was more than slight. If we had missed or changed one letter we might havc hidden behind the claim that it was one of those typographical errors. But in this case where u'e changed all of a man's name except the first letter, all we can do in the matter is blush and ask forgiveness for some blurred typing.

It seems that Ralph E. Bacon is senior salesman in the Oakland territory for the Strable Hardwood Compa.ny, of Oakland, and that he has been 43 years with that concern. So we printed the fact. But when the thing came out, the name of Bacon had been changed to Brown. Hon'? We dunno. But rve're sorry. And the name, friends, is Ralph E. Bacon.

INSECT SCREEN CTOTH

In Memory's Well

By George H. Irving

What are these wheels that in me turn Beneath my loss of hair?

A million cogs go round and round, No friction, toil, or care.

A chance remark a trigger pulls, A bump or sudden sight, And out of nowhere comes a force, That starts a mental flight.

The cogs, thus hidden, swirl and twirl, The brain cells dance a jig, Like atoms in the bomb of life, A pattern soon they rig.

And deep in some forgotten spot, fn matter grey and soft, The cogs have gathered other cogs, That lift a thought aloft.

But when we're old it takes more time, Our memories to stir, They do not leap, those yesterdays, With swift and sudden whir.

They slowly feel the cogs mesh near, And wake from sudden sleep, A quiver brings them back to life, And to the mind they creep.

So, when we olsters, bald or grey, A story try to tell, Just give us time to fit the cogs, That turn in memory's well.

Don't Let It Worry You

If your efforts are criticized, you must have done something worth while, and you may learn something valuable.

If your business rival plays more golf than you do, you have more time to attend to his customers than he has.

If your neighbor drives a better car than you do, that doesn't make your old car any the worse.

If someone calls you a fool, go into silence. He may be right.

If your competitor gets business by unscrupulous methods, he can't hold it that way.

If the world laughs at you, laught right back at it. It's just as funny as you are.

In Prcdse oI Pessimisn

We haven't heard any Optimist vs Pessimist jokes for a long time. We miss them. They provided morc insight into human nature than all of tbe psychologicd novels perpetrated since Freud discovered sex. In lieu thereof, it is perhaps timely to set the record straight.

Pessimisul like isolationism and conservatisa, has bccome a term of approbrium in recent Jrcars. It is rcgarded as a form of disloyalty not in keeping with thc chambcr of commerce spirit or the "glorious destiny" about which the orators pnttle. Actually, a pessimist is a rcalist. He expects the worst and is seldom disappointed. He is not given to impractical gambles or wishful thinking. Never smug or contented, he is the fellow responsible for most of our progress. He is the one who says, 'That is a heck of a way to run a railroad," and then docs sometting about iL

It is the optimists who do most of the damage in tbc world. They are largely responsible for the impossible expectations and shattered hopes that develop. They are the one who get us in over our heads'<r our pocketbooks. In selecting a person to manage our investments, act as a bridge partner or even 6x the plumbing, shield us, Oh Lor4 from those who operate on the theory that the goosc hangs high and everything is hunky dory in this best of dl possible worlds. Give us a lad with ulcers, and vinegar in his veins.

The illusion persists that optimists, being happier, live longer than pessimists. This is another fallacy. Thc op timists are dying out fast. Every day large numbers of them fail to beat the train to the crossing, fail to go slow when it says "Go Slow" or fail to take the pills their doctor prescribed. It is sheer suicide to be an optimist in a world full of such hazards as the atom bomb, communisn, inflation, deflation, insects, viruses, bacteria, dlergies, motor cars, bathtubs, cigarettes, taxes, etc.

Optimists are people who sell things to pessimists. The former have the entlusiasm, but the latter have the money. Without pessimists, there would be no need for insurancoor banking.

Arizona Retail Lumber Dealers Convention M.y 14-15-16, 1953

Grand Canyon, Arizona

Report by Secretary-Manag er G. R. Michaels

Indications are thltt the Ctlt.rr-ention just finished u'.is orre of the best in the histttrt' rlf the Associatirln.

Ketch Ketchersid, I'residerrt. kept erer.r-thirrg rolling e:<actly as schecluled. I)ick Henderson \\'as appointed Sergeant-at-:trnr.

l)rescott tlealers and their \-ir-es reallv put ()n :r progra!.i1 long to be reuremberetl-even goir:g so far as to havirlg Frank Hallier, llead Lunrber Clompanv in l'rescott' s'in the rvoodpecker.

liriclay's business session opened l'ith an irrvocittion brIteverend Kenneth I'orray, Pastor of the Grand Canvoir Communitv Church. A message of \\'elctlrlle s'as given by Dr. Harold Bryant, Superintendent of the Grand Canvolr National l'ark. E,. H. Petty responded' and Ketch made his annual report. s'l"rich brought the membership reallr- up t'r date or.r the actir-ities of the Association-past and presenr.

James C. O'I\Iallel-. our National l)ealer I)irector, therr made an excellent report on National and State legislatioir. and as chairman of the Convention Resolution's Committee, you u'ill see from the resolution, manY of the subjects covered.

Ralph Bruneau, \/ice Irresident of the Valley Nation:rl Bank made one of many excellent talks at the convention. He not only discussed "The Building Outlook and Financing 1953-54 in Arizona" but also pointed out to Arizon;t dealers our position in the National mortgage field' rvherein it requires $1.11 of outside money for everv one dollar of Arizona money to keep the construction industry r:f Arizona alive. He felt that the recent increased in F.H.A. and V.A. mortgages would be of considerable help' but stated that he felt a further adjustment l'ould take place after June 1, when the Government must float an additiontrl five billion dollar loan. All of this brought the metnbership to the realization that Arizona is part of the National picture and conditions, that exist here rvith regard to mortgage lending, are typical of the nation, rather than just to our state.

While the ladies rvere having their annual luncheon, presided over by Mrs. Ketchersid and attending a tour of the Grand Canyon Museum, and playing cards, the men went back into session to hear a talk by Walter B. Scott, credit manager of the United States Gypsum Company. who discussed the matter of credits (a difficult subject) in a most able manner.

He was followed by Ed Petty, rvho led a discussion on improving the net earnings of lumber yards. In addition to that, Ed made a very complete report on cost of doing

business. rvhich s'as illustrated bv a chart. \\'e have haJ so man-\'calls ior this chart. that I am nos' making arrangements to have some duplicate copies made.

At 'l:29 p.m. (Frida)') six kittens rvere taken into HooHoo n'ith Bill Beal and Jess Stervart of Tucson, and Charlie \\-est and Earl Cox of Phoenix conducting the concatenation.

It is reported that the balance of the evening was spent' deep in the s'oods of Kachina Lodge. but evervone \\-xs on hand for the Saturdav morning session.

The Resolutions Committee submitted fourten resoluiions in addrtion to those of thanks and appreciation.

The first three deal rvith the itinerate peddler sitnation, u'hich is causing rnost dealers in the state considerable trouble. The fourth has to do rvith freight problems.

The fifth l'ras to do rvith a collection service nolv being made available to dealers in Arizona. Sixth and seventh both had to do rvith public housing-one on a national basis: the other on a state basis. Number 8, is about grade marking. Number 9. state taxes- one of our most pressing problems. Number 10 is a pat on the back to our National Assocation for the good job thev are doing. Ntrmber ll. 12, and l3 are all most important positions taken by our Association, s'hich naturally must be handled by our representatives in \\rashington. Number 14, the \\'orkmen's Compensation, as originall;r submitted called for a ceiling of $'100.00 per month, but after some discussion from the floor rvas amended to read $6m.m rvhich appeared to be a more realistic top monthly wage.

In presenting the resolutions, Chairman Jay O'Malley urged that the members present really give them alt some serious thought; u'here national legislation is involved, he urged that you drop a note to your Senators and Congressmen telling them exactly horv you feel. Where the matter is of state importance, he urged that you contact other merchant groups in your community and ask them to joi;r us.

Emron \\rright, Chairman of the time and place committee, stated that his committee rvas unable to arrive at decision on the only invitation received- that being from the San Marcos Hotel in Chandler. He urged that r*'e ask for invitations from other communities in Arizona, and that the report of this committtee be deferred at a later date-to be handled by the Board of Directors.

Harold Britt, Chairman of the Nominating Committee. then presented the follorving list of officers and directors {or the year, rvhich on motion duly made, seconded and carried was unanimously passed.

NOBEBT S. OSGOOD

President, E. H. Petty; Vice President. Ralph Bell ; Vice President, Sam Beecroft; Vice President, J. Knos Corbett; Treasurer, Earl Cox. Directors: Bill Beal, LeRoy L. Bond Harold Britt, Rodney Crorve, S. A. Douglas, Ambrose Halstead, James Henderson, Ralph Heisser, \\'. C. Ketchersid, James L. Lervis, Don McCaughey, Mike l\tedigovich. Floyd B. Olson, Harry Pollock, Charles Roach. Adolph Schwarz, Emron T. Wright.

Directors re-appointed G. R. Michaels, Secretary-I\fanager.

After the reports of committee, Jack Jordan, Nlanager of Lumber Merchandisers in Phoenix, then gave a very excellent report on the activities of this Association in the promotion of the use of lumber and lumber products. Thev are contacting architects, builders, and men in the field assisting them in anv way possible to use lumber producis of the proper grade and in the proper place. A seven minute movie depicting the use of shingles \\-as a part of this program.

K. E. "Jack" Potter, Vice President of First Federal Savings and Loan then discussed "The Open-End l\Iortgage." There has been mu.ch interest sho's'n by the dealers in the state in this subject, and the situation u'as detailed very carefully by Mr. Potter, rvho pointed out that verv few now existing mortgages contain clauses, u'hich rvould permit open-end financing, and that it is not permissible under V.A. and F.H.A. mortgages. Although, he did sa1tl.rat some financial institutions norv have clauses, rvhich permit them to open-end. It, therefore, appeared that the true solution to this problem would be to encourage lending institutions to adopt similar programs.

After time out for lunch, everyone was on hand to hear Bob Ringer, Sales Consultant from Hollyt'ood, California, talk on "You Gotta Sell in '53." The best indication that this was a good talk rvas the fact that he held his audience for one hour and fiteen minutes-no one fell asleep or left the room. His talk was a real inspiration, constructive, and spiced with enough humour to put over the points.

At 6:00 o'clock (Saturday), First Federal Savings and Loan put on their Annual Cocktail party, rvhich are alrvays good and well attended-Jack Potter and Francis Pool acted as hosts. Joe Rice rvas ill and unable to make it.

This was followed by a steak dinner at the El Tovar;

Logan l\fcFadden 4cted as toastmaster and pulled one out of the hat by presenting a real magician in Billy }tedigcvich. He also introduced the officers for the coming vear and made presentation of the golf arvards.

This rvas follorved by a dance, and the music rvas good. \\re had I\fax Bailey's band from Flagstaff College. \Ve are grateful to Carl Hollings and Harry Pollock in Flagstaff for arranging this music and their transportation.

The convention fortunate in having the follorvig exhibitors: Celotex Corporation. Douglas Fir Plyrvood -\ssociation. Mallco Hardrvare f)istributors, Masonite Corpor:rtion. Simpson Logging, U. S. Plyrvood Corporation.

Spruce Loggers Wage All-Out \(/ar on Bark Beetles

By Hanley Morse

(Second of a series of articles about bark beetle ravages in Inland Empire spruce forests. Mr. Morse is l\{ontana-IdahqE. Washington forest engineer for the \\'estern Pine Assn.)

Dooley Cratnp, boss of Potlatch Forests, Inc.'s Camp 44 irr tl-re Fishhook country south of Avery, took an ax and peeled out a six-by-eight-inch section of bark from an Engelmann spruce tree. "Count 'em," he suggested to Logging Superintendent Earl Ritzheimer and the writer.

They did, and in the little chunk of bark found no less than 37 beetles, adults and larvae. The tree was "lottsy" with beetles. It was dead, too, killed last fall by the bugs.

But the beetles were not dead. They lvere just dormant. When the weather warms up they come to life. The dead spruce is no longer attractive to them. They head for living trees, drill into the bark, feed on tree juices, multiply and leave when that tree is dead.

There were estimated thousands of beetles in the single tree Dooley Cramp sarnpled. There were estimated millions of beetles in the spruce swale where this tree stood among other tall spruces. And nearly every spruce had been worked over by woodpeckers, those tireless friends of tree farmers everywhere. Obviously, u'oodpeckers had gorged on beetles but had only made a dent in the bug suPPlY.

The very next day the bugs met their match. \{en with

chain sarvs came in, felled the dead and dying spruce trees. Choker setters, working in the deep snow, put steel ropes around the logs and polverful tractors hauled them away to the landing. In a matter of minutes, the logs were aboard trucks. bound for the Milwaukee railroad at Avery, there to be transferred to railroad cars and hauled to I'tills at Potlatch and Coeur d'Alene. \\'ith the logs rvent the beetles, never again to cherv into a tree.

That's horv loggers all over the Inland Empire are engaged today against the greatest spruce beetle infestation of modern times.

Thel' are striking trvo blows-one at the beetle horde and the other at \\'aste. By harvesting "bug trees" they are saving other trees fronr attack, and at the same time are putting to use vast volumes of fine rvood that would otherwise be lost through decay in the rvoods.

There is only one other rvay to try to stop the beetle sweep. That's by spraying the tree trunks. This is expensive. The U.S. Forest Service plans to do some spraying, in areas where it's justified in order to buv some time. But for the greater part, control b1' logging is the primary concern of the forest managers.

Iingelmann spruce, a tree of great promise in the region's plans for a sustained timber economy, makes up about l0 per cent of the region's total sar+'timber supply. About 8O per cerrt of the l2l billion feet of spruce is on the seven national forests-the Cabinet, Flathead, Kaniksu, Kootenai, Clearwater, Lolo and St. Joe. The rest is on tree farms and other privately owned lands.

For The Wise

William Lyon Phelps says that outside the Bible the six most famous words in dl the literature of the world are Shakespeare's "To be or not to be" from Hamlet. These six words co:rtain only six of the letters of the alphabet' and yet, says Phelps, into those words are packed most of the wisdom of the world.

Treqted Lumber on Scnrtq Fe Road

The history of treated timber on the Santa Fe System began in 1875 when a plant was constructed at Galveston, Texas' to treat piles for the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe trestle bridge in Galveston Bay. Since that time, this railroad has extended the application of the preservative treatment of u'ood to a wide variety of uses throughout its installations' At present, it operates two large pressure treating plants on its lines at Somerville, Texas, and at Albuquerque, Nerv llexico' The plants treat crossties, piles, bridge timbers, poles, fence posts and lurnber for many miscellaneous requirements, such as drain boxes, grade crossings, platforms, loading docks and building foundations.

As might be expected from so long a record of achievement in the field of wood preservation, the Santa Fe now has in its lines many timber trestle bridges which have reached an age of 40 years or.more. These structures exemplify the service which can be expected from sound timber properly pressure treated before placement in exposed locations'

The use of asbestos siding for new residential construction is not new. For years this material has been used extensively by Eastern builders because they recognized specific construction advantages. Out here in the \\rest the obvious advantages of asbestos siding have been overlooked as a mears to speed construction and reduce costs with an exterior wall materiat that is impervious to unfavorable job conditions. Asbestos siding is now being introduced by Pabco Pmducts Inc. for ne\r' construction and on a basis that should have broader acceptance by contractors, architects and builders.

Pabco has introduced their new prduct to the trade under the name Colorok Siding throughout the West. Recognizing the importance of the front elevation as the point of €yeappeal, Colorok Siding is being principally recommended as a utility material on the two sides and back of residential and commercial structures, thus leaving the front available for individual styling with other materials.

Barney Glick, president Glick Brothers Lumber Company of Los Angeles, announced last rveek his firm lvould confine its activity to general retail lumber sales. In this connection all mill operations rvill be susPended and the stafi will concentrate on lumber sales and general building materials sales.
