HOW LUMBER LOOKS

The industry average was down and almost all items of -green Douglas fir construction lumber lost some price ground in Crow's Lumber Price Index released May 17.In K-D fir, Utility dimension was the only strong item. Twelve-inch No. 3 ponderosa pine boards, formerly firm, lost price altitude and D-grade selects were depressed. Sanded plywood remained steady and sheathing grades were_ strong Logprices in the western'Oregon market remained steady, with a small drop in pulpwood prices in some ar€as noted. Operators of green fir mills were encouraged by the decision of the American Lumber Standards f,ommittee to turn down the proposal to fix the maximum moisture content at which ALS standards would, apply; proposal's adoption would have meant increased costs to both producer and buyer of green lumber.

Shipments of 493 mills reporting to the Natio'nal Lumber Manufacturers Assn in the week ended May 18 were 0.1/o above production, orders 1.2% above; for the year to date, orders were 0.5/o above production. Shipments were 4.6/o above the previous week. National production of lumber totaled 2,807,000,000 board feet during March, reported the NLMA-7/o above February but 9/o below March 1956; shipments were l7/o greater than February. March procluction, shipments and orders in softwood indicated gains over February but hardwoods registered declines in each category.

Orders of 124,824,854 feet were 3.3/o over production at 164 mills reporting to the West Coast Lumbermenfs Assn. in the week ended May 18; shipments were 1.2/o below. The weekly average of west coast lumber production in April was 183,576,000 bf, reported WCLA Secretary Harris F. Smith for the Douglas fir sawmill region; orders averaged 182,809,000 and shipments 184,448,000 bf. The industry's unfilled or{91 fiJg-at the end of April stood at 628,660,ffi0 bf, gross stocks at 1,220,9M,0M.

Orders of 81,638,00O feet were 7.9/o below production at 123 mills

"hts Your Problem, Toott

By Wayne F. MULLIN, President, Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. April 23, 1957; 40th Annual Convention

I am honored to have the opportunity to address an audience of my fellow Southern California lumbermen. It is only if we all know of what the Association offers, and of the problems that it seeks to solve, will we be satisfied with its aims and accomplishments. To be strong, an association must have the confidence of its members, and such confldence is only obtained with knowledge.

\rur' goar rs rne welfare of our industry and we believe that the satis{action of our customers is closely linked to our own welfare. This is of great importance to all of us-rnanufncturers, wholesalers and retailers. This is the reason rve ask our suppliers to join with us as Associate members.

Our Association is the tool with which we have to work in an effort to correct evils that may exist within our industry, to combat detrimental influences from without, and to achieve our goal of better profits for each of our member companies. Now let's look at some facts:

One year ago today our membership was 334 members-235 Active lumberyards and 99 Associate members. Since then we have added 57 members-4? Lumberyards and 15 Associates. During the same time we have lost 31 members-21 Yards and 10 Associates-by reason of retirement from business or resignations. Today our total membership is 3ffi--256 Lumberyards and 104 Associate members-or a gain in the last year ol 26 members. Although this membership gain is not as great as in the previous year, the membership committee and the Association staff are to be complimented. Our members probably represent %/o of the sales volume in Southern California.

We have adopted a budget. The budgeted expenditures f.or 1957 amount to $67,000, and this will cover only our very necessary activities. For the first time, we have an outline-we know how much we are going to spend in advance-and on what we are going to spend it. We believe we know where the money is coming from. Only 45% is derived from membership dues-the balance comes from services your Association sells to its membersservices that you members could not buy as economically from any other source. In our budget, the margin for error is too thin, for we project an operating loss for this year of $1,720. But if we can add a few more member yards, a few more associate members, make a more proportionate and equitable adjustment of dues in accordance with sales volume, then in 1957-1958 we should operate in the black. This Association is a non-profit organization, but it must run as a business and rve must keep a constant eye on income and expense. The budget is a big step forward and, for the good of the Association, its use should

never be abolished or forgotten. Ralph Baker is the man to whom credit is due for this step forward.

Our byJaws have been brought up to date and we adhere to them. If we find they are not suited to our needs, we amend them-but we never disregard them. Under these new by-laws, we elect directors from the areas annually. Usually the same directors are re-elected, but there is a constant influx of new and younger men, so your Board now has the benefit of new ideas tempered with the experience of the men older in point of service. Like any other business, your executives have frequent discussions of the problems confronting us. These discussion are held daily by telephone and almost weekly in person.

We have 13 active committees with 73 members serving-some of these men are on several committees but usually only one. These men were willing to work and have accomplished their objectives more quickly and easily because they were banded together and because they worked with a spirit of friendly cooperation.

Every man in this room has his industry problemsproblems that must be faced collectively by you and me. Smog is one of them, particularly for those of us lvho have burners. Your Smog Committee, headed by Jim Lawler, has been a most active one. The committee has had many meetings in the last year-some rvith Air Pollution Control officials, in an effort to find a solution to this almost insolvable problem-insolvable because it has become political in character.

A far greater problem faces us today with tl.re new Lumber Grades and their allowable uses under the building codes of our cities and counties. This committee, headed by Rex Clark, has had plenty of opposition. Group meetings have been held with city and county building officials. Two weeks ago a four-day meeting was concluded with representatives of the W.C.L.A., along with officials of the Building and Safety Departments of Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego. A better understanding of the problems facing us was reached, but the officials of the Los Angeles and Long Beach Building Departments whacked us over the head, spanked us, told us what we could and could not do, and went back home. We lumbermen do not believe they have a full understanding of grades of lumber, so we proposed and they accepted our invitation to visit the sawmills selling in this area to see for themselves the lumber as it is manufactured and graded-including Utility grade which they so vigorously condemned. Our lumber is produced from a natural resource, and it is our duty to see that tl-re product of the natural resource is wisely used. This we propose to do, and our Grade-Stamping program is going to help guarantee it-as well as assuring our customers that they are receiving the grades of lumber they are paying for. For 14 months, we have had Erik Flamer working with us, devoting all of his time to this problem.

There are other problems for which we need this Association. Legislation, health and welfare plans, workmen's compensation insurance, etc. A11 of these the S.C.R.L.A. stands ready to cope with.

to the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. Because there are 25,000 lumber dealers in the United States, a watchdog is needed in Washington. The N.R,L.D.A. does those things for our industry that the individual regional associations cannot do alone. It should be well supported-and the only way to do it is to belong to this Association. $15 of your annual dues goes to the National. Tom Fox is our representative on the National board of directors and twice each year he makes a trip to Washington at his own expense to represent Southern California at the National board meetings.

We are not legally permitted to agree on selling prices. But we can raise the standard-help eliminate useless price cutting-by knowing more about the cost of doing business. In order for each dealer to\know, more about his own costs, and how they compare with the average, our S.C.R.L.A. publishes each year a "Cost of Doing Business Survey." This survey gives average operating costs and profits for the various classes of yards in Southern California. This is a yardstick, by which you can measure your own performance. It is a challenge to keep costs dou'n and profits up. This book is free to our members who participate by handing in their own figures to Price, Waterhouse. It cannot be purchased at any price by a non-member, and it alone is worth far more than the minimum Association dues.

The Association gives us the chance to participate in Group Workmen's Compensation insurance. The group premium is over $100,000 per year, giving us the opportunity of securing far greater dividends than would be possible if each of us carried our insurance separately. This last year the dividend was 36.6/o. The year before it was 313% and it is expected to be in excess of 40/a this year. Many of you, because of the small size of your annual premium, receive small dividends or perhaps none at all. Any member with the proper safety record owning a lumberyard may join our group. There is the Health and Welfare plan for non-union employees; 1200 are insured under this plan which offers up to $3Q,000 in life insurance. Millwork catalogs are published at low cost to our members.

These are a few of the services rendered by your Association. fn fact, the S.C.R.L.A. with its staff of four men and five women, will do anything for its members if it is reasonable and legal. What more could one ask? I may be biased, but after traveling around these United States visitihg with retailers everywhere in the last two years, I believe we have a mighty good Association in Southern California, and a bunch of excellent lumbermen as members, along with a fine executive vice-president in Orrie Hamilton, who works so hard to make the whole thing click.

We are also lucky to have as our assistant manag'er, George Cordrey, who acts as field secretary. In 12 months George has called on every lumberyard in Southern California. He has organized area meetings-meetings where lumbermen get together for an exchange of ideas and for friendships that are created. In the last 12 months there have been more such meetings than ever before and they have been better meetings. It's the first time in 20

years that some of these lumbermen have gotten together around a luncheon table.

There is also the Palm Springs Conference each fall and only retailers do the speaking. In January, there is the all-membership conference at the Ambassador. Here, dealers and suppliers meet and discuss their mutual problems. These two gatherings, plus this annual convention, are unique-for no other lumber association has them. This year, in an effort to further develop a spirit of friendship and cooperation between lumbermen, we decided on a meeting in Hawaii-to meet jointly with the Honolulu lumbermen.

You have all heard of the wonderful time enjoyed by the 75 who went from California, but have you heard of the quality speeches made by the Southern California Dealers and their Hawaiian hosts ? Have you heard of what we learned by going through the Canec Plant ? Have you heard of the fabulous lumber merchandising stores operated in Honolulu which we visited ?

If not, read The California Lumber Merchant. They thought the trip was so worthwhile that 16-plus pages of enthusiastic description was published April 1. Everyone came back a BETTER LUMBERMAN, had more lumber friends and more spirit of :ooperation than before.

Our Future-Your Problem and Mine

During the last ten years, this spirit of cooperation has been increasing. Younger men are taking part in their industry's afiairs-for formerly it was only the experienced man who appreciated the value of joint action. Times are changing. We see fine firms, a half-century old, retiring from business. What are we going to do about the problems brought about by this change ?

From an Association viewpoint, too many of us think of this Association as a power in itself-a power we can call upon to correct the evils that assail us. We forget that those problems we probably create ourselves-that the Association is composed of you and me-and that it is strong just so long as you and I are rvilling to give our time from personal affairs.

There are many imperfections within the lumber business, but the Association alone cannot correct them. The only solution is for each of us as individuals to do something corrective in a cooperative effort. It is your problem-and the Association is your tool with which to work'

Last week some of us received an anonymous letter naming evils which exist within our lumber industry' I .may not agree with the writer of that letter-I don't know who he is, but I admire him. He recognized the problems and tried, as a rugged individual, to do something about them. He wrote a letter. Now if a letter of that kind had been mailed by our Association, it would have been in violation of federal laws, but, legally, you and I can act as individuals.

For instance, you and I can raise our selling prices. Individually, we can blacklist mills we consider unethical' 'We can refuse to sell on credit, we can do something about lumber handlers of whom we do not approve. There are many problems and they must remain your problems-not the Association's. Our Association lvill (Continued on Page 73)

Some wise man wrote this definition of a salesman: "If you work with your hands, you are a laborer. If you work with head and hands, you are a craftsman. If hands, head and heart are required, you are an artist. But if it takes hands, head, heart and feet, then you are a salesman."

The more a man really knows, the more he doubts. Never forget that when judging men. Ignorance bawls, w&rile wisdom speaks falteringly. Beware of the man who not only knows, but knows he knows. Verily, nine times out of ten; he knows little.

Power is always dangerous. History abundantly demonstrates that the more power you place in the hands of a man and the longer you leave it ttrere, the more plainly dbes his fallibility manifest itself.

Alexander Dumas once said: "An author's business is to write joyfully, so that his*readers may live joyfully."

Through the centuries there has come down to us a definition of the word "justice" ttrat will always endure: "Justice is the constant or perpetual purpose or will to render to everyone that which is his."***

During World War One the famous revivalist, Billy Sunday, used to put some lusty opinions into sermons. One of his pet remarks was: "God has different ways of doing things. A left hook to the jaw is sometimes far better than a prayer."

They tell the story or*arrl ^i*.ri""r, paratrooper who was dropping down to earth in his parachute. Bullets few like hail all about him from the enemy below. "Nuts !" he said to himself, "th€re must be some easier way to make a living than this."

Sir Walter Scott wrotl i.,1 "orr. crowded hour of glorious life is worth age without a t^hrill." And Lord Byron, with the same though.t in mind, said: "Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story, the days of our youth are the days of our glory."***

Two drunks were driving into a big city late at night. One of ttrem said: "We're getting close to town." The other asked: "How do you know?" The first one said: "We're hitting more people." ***

Mohammed said that this world would stagnate without war. Maybe that's why the Lord made the Russians and Germans-to keep the world from stagnating.

"What is freedom?" Joh.n Amherst Sexon asked. "It is man's highest aspiration, man's brightest hope, the love of God, the pursuit of happiness, the acceptanc€ of responsibilities, the exercise of our just rights, a commitment to the democratic way of life, the dedication of one's life to the cause of Liberty and Justice for all mankind."

Thebes, the once great capital of Ethiopia, was said to have so nxany gates that it was generally referred to as "Thebes of a thousand gates." Later on a town in Italy tried to build as many towers as Thebes had gates, and really finished about eigh.ty towers. This was the town of San Gimagnano, and the time was the middle ages. But their plans failed for many reasons, especially wars, and it is said that not one of the eighty is left standing today. Silly ambitions are seldom permanent.

Josh Billings wrote: "Anatomically considered, laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot. If a man can't laugh, there was a mistake made in putting him together, and if he won't laugh, he wants as much keeping away from as a beartrap when it is set. Genuine laughing is the vent of the soul, the nostrils of the heart, and it is just as necessary for health and happiness as spring ya.;. is for trout.

And this same Josh Billings, a famous humorist of long ago, used to say that the biggest trouble with most men is that they know so many things that aren't so.

And Marco Morrow said: "ft is a glorious privilege to live, to know, to act, to listen, to behold, to love. To look up at the blue sky; to see the sun sink slowly below the line of the horizon; to watch the worlds come twinkling into view, first one by one, then the myriads that no man can count, and lo ! the universe is white wittr them; and you and I are here." ***

During the Civil War, a certain Col. Fisk, of Missouri, raised a volunteer regiment, and made every man agree that he, the Colonel, would be allowed to do all the cursing and swearing for the whole regiment. In short, swearing was forbidden. But one day one of Col. Fisk's teams of mules balked on a muddy road and refused to move, and the teamster cussed the team out loud and fiercely. The

Ralph E. Bruneau, vice-president of the Vallley National Bank in I'hoenix, then addressed the session on "How I\fuch Money Will Be Available for Construction This Year." As alu'ays, Mr. Bruneau gave a factual report on the availability of money in Arizona, advising those present that this had alrvays been a tight-money market; that it took $1.1O of outside money for every dollar of Arizona money to finance construction in the state, but that all in all, as he reviewed the past and present conditions, he felt that sound footing r,vould progress as in the past.

Frank J. Ryley, of the la'n' firm of Ryley, Carlock and

Italston, next presented to the convention the situation as applies to "Arizona Sales Tax and Gas Tax in 1958." He went somewhat into the philosophy of spending, pointed out that what is really needed to reduce taxes is econom) in government rather than seeking new sources of revenue. The situations presenting themselves rvere covered by a resolution.

"Urea in Chemical Treatment of Lumber" was discussecl next by Jack Jordan of Lumber Nlerchandisers Association, Phoenix, who pointed out recent developments in this fielcl of preserving lumber in the hot areas of this state. Thi:; talk rvas beautifully iilustrated rvith slides and movies.

His Choice of Wives had him them would you recall?"

The old fellow had been married five times, and buried all of the five wives. A curious friend said to one day:

"In looking back over your five chapters of married life with five different women, one of these women, it seems to me, must stand out from all the others in your memory. Isn't that a fact? Then, what I would like to know is this: if you were given your choice and could call back to life and to your home any one of those five you wish, which of

How to trop o thief:

This One-Mcrn Lumber'Firm' Operoted With All-Profit ond Procticolly No Overhecld' Until-'

Wendell T. Robie, president of the Woodland (Calif.) Lumber Company and general manager of the Auburn (Calif.) Lumber Company, informed The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT on May 15 that Gordon Howell, the secretary and manager of the Woodland Lumber Company, had the previous u'eek trapped a man rvho had been making a successful business of stealing lumber from lumber companies-as he attempted at the Woodland yard.

Manager Howell mentioned that from some other companies in Northern California the thief had gotten away with some. $3,000 worth of materials. Under the circumstances, The MERCHANT believes its dealer subscribers would want to be informed-so here are the details on how one alert retail lumberman trapped his thief :

A profitable, one_-man lumber firm which was all profit and practically no overhead was rudely and abruptly put out of business by Lake and Yolo county sheriff's officers with the arrest of Theodore Layne, 43, an ex-convict who lived at Clearlake Highlands and was employed at the Crane Lumber Company at Corning, Calif. Layne, who has a long and impressive record of prison terms for forgery and other of-

fenses, admitted pulling his lumber-business hoax in several other counties, including Glenn and Colusa.

Manager Gordon Howell of the Woodland lumberyard, who said Layne obtained 4500 feet of Douglas fir from him under false pretenses, gives this account of the events leading up to the apprehension of the criminal:

On a Saturday, a man who gave his name as Robert Wayne said he represented Dr. Malcolm Jones,440 Post St., San Francisco, who wanted to buy lumber to build a gun club on the Madison-Winters cut off. "Wayne" asked for a bid. Monday he returned with a truck and said Dr. Jones wanted the lumber. After it was loaded and "Wayne" was leaving, Manager Howell noticed the truck had no license plates.

Howell became suspicious and asked William Sharp, an employee, to follow the truck. Sharp followed "Wayne" to Lower Lake in Lake county, where the truck turned into a driveway. Lake county authorities were notified after the lumber was unloaded in front of an unfinished residence and further investigation showed the suspect was really named Theodore Layne, wanted for defrauding other lumber dealers in California, according to Chief Deputy John Monroe, who returned him and his stolen property to Woodland.

to Layne was the cause of the thief's latest downfall. Layne had long been suspected by Lake county sheriff's officers because of the cheap sales of lumber he had recently been making in the area, but they could pin nothing on him until the warrant came over from Yolo county.

In his "deal" with the Woodland yard, Layne, alias "Wayne," had asked for estimates on a quantity of lumber to build a duct line for the S. F. doctor. He had the yard load the lumber when he returned for it. He took off but didn't know he had been followed until his shadow returned to the Woodland yard, reported, and the sheriff's office closed in on him. Layne, who served time in San Quentin in 1952, had even added a room to his home at Clearlake Highlands with lumber he "bought" on similar phony deals.

Willows, Calif.-Sheriff Lyle Sale said a 42-year-old exconvict, Theodore Layne, who bilked a Willows lumberyard owner of $400 worth of lumber Apri| 2, will face charges of grand theft in Glenn county. He was arrested at his home by Yolo county deputies after trying to cheat a Woodland lumberyard of about $415 worth of lumber, Sale said.

"My department has seen all kinds of rackets, but never one exactly like this," the sheriff reported, adding that Layne, married and father of six, is a four-time loser released from San Quentin in 1953 after serving a term for passing fictitious checks.

According to the sheriff, quoted in the Chico EnterpriseRecord, Layne worked weekdays at the Corning yard and spent rveekends with his family at Clearlake Highlands. The sheriff refused to identify the Willows lumberman who had

been cheated by Layne in order to spare him embarrassment, but he related that Layne r,r,'ent to the lumberyard April 2, represented himself as B. Brown, an agent for Dr. Malcolm Jones of San Francisco, who, he said, intended to build three houses at Stonyford, Calif. Layne claimed he had been asked by the doctor to purchase lumber for the construction of the houses. The sheriff said the following then took place:

Layne said he didn't know how much lumber he would need trut that he would "take a load today, return with carpenters tomorrow for the rest, and pay the entire bill." A smooth talker, Layne convinced the lumberman of his sincerity and was allowed to take the load rvithout a down payment.

When Layne failed to return after three days, the Willows lumberman checked in the Stonyford area, found no new houses were to be built there, and notified the sheriff of the hoax. "Layne sold the lumber he had obtained in Willows for $205 to the Govan Building Materials Co. in Lake county," the sheriff was quoted in the newspaper, adding, "The wood was recovered yesterday."

The sheriff said he did not know if Layne has bilked other lumberyards in similar deals.

MONEY

Money is strange stu,ff. Few men understand it. Many of those who pose as experts on the subject are as ignorant of its realities as a single-cell protoplasm on the ocean's bed is of the science of geometry.

It is not a generally understood fact that money is only useful when it is scarce. In this respect it differs from most other goods or commodities. Food, clothing, or shelter, for example, would still be valuable even though produced in such quantities that they could be had for little price. But money is only valuable when people have so little of it that they are willing to work to get it. In working for money, people produce t&re things they all need and want.

Money does its work by circulating. In this, also, it differs from other useful commodities. Food, clothing, and shelter, for instance, finally stay with those who buy and consume them. Circulation of money cr€ates purchasing power and prosperity when it produces useful things and gets t&rem moving into the hands of consumers. It is a fact that policies that restrict production hold back buying power no matter how much money is put into circulation.

Wages are generally about as much misunderstood as money, which, as has been stated, is one of the most thoroughly misunderstood of all modern commodities. There are, of course, two kinds of wages: money wages and real wages. Money wages mean a certain number of dollars for a certain amount of work. Real wages mean what can be bought with that money. There is a vast difference. Many believe that by raising money wages you solve the

Home-Repoir Trend Going Up

American homeowners will spend more on home modernization and improvement in 1957 than they did in 1956, the U.S. Savings & Loan League predicts. The League said a recent nationwide survey showed that 24/o of homeowners surveyed expect to make home improvements and maintenance expenditures of $50 or more this year, compared with 22.2% last year.

economic problem. But a wage increase that does not increase purchasing power of the dollars involved, is not a raise.

The writer of this piece would like to explain the money problem completely but, unfortunately, like most of the financial experts, he is also vague on the subject.

High L. A. Reolty loons for Homes

Los Angeles metropoiitan area real estate loans totaling $5,554,628 u'ere disbursed by the western home office of the Prudential Insurance Co. during the first two months this year. The total represented $4,519,628 ior residential purposes and $1,035,000 for commercial and industrial properties.

California statewide loans in the period totaled $1 1,316,186, of which $8,980,486 was for residential building. The total for the 11 western states and Hawaii was $21,609,566, of which $16,384,136 was loaned for residential building.

Greatest freedoln from shrinkage starts ulith Redwood itself-

-but it takes these extra steps in the manufacture of PAIC0 Architectural Quality Redwood to hring out this natural advantage

Redwood has less shrinkage and swelling-greater dimensional stability than any other domestic commercial woodif it is properly dried. Drying down to about 28o/o moisture content merely removes free water in the wood cell cavities. The cell walls are still saturated.

Shrinkage starts at about 28% and continues until the point of equilibrium with air is reached. Air drying alone won't achieve this goal.

PALCO Certified Dry Redwood provides three e.rtra steps to assure proper humidity uniformly distributed through each board.

I Selective air drying up to 24 months according to green - weight, bringing nll lumber to a specified humidity range before it enters the kiln. (See example chart below).

! Controlled kiln drying, depending on condition and thickness, from 6 to 25 days at specified temperature progressively applied.

3 PALCO goes one step further...When the center of the - board approaches moisture equilibrium, surfaces are too dry, and would be distorted by re-absorbing moisture from air. PALCO Redwood is therefore left in the kiln for a final extra process to rebuild surface moisture to atmospheric equilibrium - producing the most stable lumber known. This is one of many premium PALCO features -at no extra premium in cost-and you know it will stay in place.

Foresfry Seminqr Proves Voluoble

To make the best use of our available timber, the forest industries need effective human relations as well as advanced scientific technologies. This was one of the main themes of a two-week Industrial Forestry Seminar recently held on the Berkeley Campus of the University of California.

While chemists and physicists are as important as ever to develop nerv forest products and test their qualities, there is an equal need to study and encourage consumer acceptance of the nerv products, develop better marketing techniques, and improve public relations.

The value of wood has increased tremendously this past decade, which, gives growers as well as manufacturers more incentive to make greater use of lowergrade timber, and consequently make more usable products per foot of wood removed from the forests. Such developments also benefit the public in general because they conserve our natural timber supply.

The seminar rvas presented by the Yale University and the University of California Schools of Forestry, in cooperation u.ith University Extension. Ilepresentatives of forest industries, mostly from r'vestern states, made use of the seminar u'hich u'as held, for the first time. on the west coast. Professor 8,. T. F. Wohlenberg of Yale University rvas the director. Topics ranged over many fields including forest genetics, labor relations, income taxation, integration and research in the forest industries, and questions of public relations. Copies of the full transcription of the Seminar proceedings may be purchased on application to the School of Forestry, University of California, Berkeley 4, Calif.

ilohogony Corporotion Finds Room to Grow in Ukioh Wirh Hollow Tree's Fociliries

One of Ukiah's newest industries-surprisingly enough a hardwood lumber senqsln-i5 Mahogany Corporation, formerly of Phoenix, Ar\zona, and Los Angeles, and piloted by a well-known hardwood lumberman, Dennis Jackson' Simply outgrowing available remanufacturing facilities at Phoenix, Mahogany Corporation recently left the land of desert sunshine behind after its successful search for room to expand ended in Ukiah at the large 67-acre remanufacturing plant of Hollow Tree Lumber Company.

"The facilities available to us in Phoenix, while excellent in every respect, were becoming too limited in scope for our growing operation," remarked Jackson, who is president and a major stockholder of the firm. "We had only one direction to turn and that was to the producing areas of Northern California, with its abundance of remanufacturing facilities and lumber finishing know-how. In pro-

cessing our lumber through the facilities of Hollow Tree Lumber Company, we have availed our company of some of the finest equipment and one of the largest remanufacturing plants in the state.

"In addition to all of these existing facilities, Hollow Tree Lumber Company has also installed a complete moulding plant for the express purpose of taking care of Mahogany Corporation's specialized needs, and has made a substantial investment in Mahogany Corporation as r.ell," Jackson added.

Dennis Jackson, a dynamic businessman with over 10 years of hardwood logging and sawmill experience in the tropics behind him, was tutored in the State-side aspect of the business by the "dean of Philippine mahogany," Roy Barto, now retired but then head of a well-known importing firm in Los Angeles. Jackson was with this firm for over seven years and rose to the position of executive assistant to Mr. Barto, in charge of foreign procurement and sales.

About two years ago, and shortly after Mr. Barto's retirement, Jackson formed Mahogany Corporation and es-

tablished offices in Phoenix, which at that time offered adequate remanufacturing facilities for his new business.

Now a transplanted Arizonian and firmly entrenched in the economy of Ukiah, Jackson looks forward to further expanding Mahogany Corporation. "We will continue to operate in the same manner as before," he notes, "but with the added advantage of Hollow Tree's economy of operation. We will continue to sell through r,r''el1-established and reliable sales representatives (11 in the United States at this time) in addition to several long-standing personal accounts, both in this country and overseas."

Mahogany Corporation will special\ze in mixed shipments of rough and surfaced lumber, door jambs, cut to length casing and stop sets, a full line of Philippine ma-

hogany mouldings and trim, and .rvall paneling in various thicknesses.

Form Storoge Progroms Extended

Following its annual custom, the USDA has again extended the farm storage facility loan program for another year. Designed to encourage farmers to purchase more storage facilities for use on their farms, since the program started 86,804 loans have been made covering structures with a capacity of over 300 million bushels.

This farm storage apparently continues to be a potential source of business for dealers located in the areas where crops eligible for storage are raised, reports the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

Southern €qliforniq lqunches Over $8OO Million in Building thru April

Construction launched in Southern California in the first third of 1957 reached at least $830,000,000, according to official building-permit reports plus conservative estimates from authoritative sources regarding projects for which building permits are not required, reports The Los Angeles Times. And that vast total, lending new strength to the expectation that 1957 will be a $2,500,000,000 or greater Southland building year, was reached despite the fact that there was no uniformity of uptrend-big increases in some areas and drops, some of them considerable, in others. However, every place in the survey disclosed a big and important volume of new construction.

llere's how building activities contributed to the huge aggregate:

Seventy-five of the Southland's cities issued $433,916,W worth of permits in the year's first four months, according to official reports gathered by this section of The Times. And while that amount did not come up to their total for the similar time last year, it is significant that their April volume of $132,193,280 exceeded their April 1956 sum by $25,52t,532.

Permits to amount of $218,842,988 were issued for projects in the unincorporated areas of nine Southland counties, it was disclosed in compilation by the research department of the Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles. A total of about $140,000,000 was reached in the first four months by contracts for heavy construction, according to Southern California Chapter, Associated General Contractors of

America. Besides all the foregoing figures there also was the always great amount of identifiable projects for which permits are not required.

An instance of the huge increase was disclosed by the official report that $177,437,N2 worth of permits were issued in Los Angeles in this year's first four months, $29,3ffi,346 more than in the like time last year.

Pocific Wood Products Ncrmed Agents

Taggat Sawmill Company, Inc., of the Philippine Islands has appointed Pacific Wood Products as exclusive sales agents on plywood and veneer, according to Norman and Jack Davidson. This arrangement was concluded between Alfonso Lim, president of Taggat, and Dick Bartlett, vice-president of Pacific Wood Products, who has taken up residence in the Philippines and will lend technical and grading assistance to the new Taggat plywood operation.

Taggat's new mill at Claveria will be in full operation on both plywood and veneers by August, according to Bartlett. The production will amount to approximately six and a half million feet per month of veneers and plywood. A wide variety of thicknesses, sizes and specifications will be manufactured in this large, new, completely integrated mill equipped with the newest and most modern American made plywood machinery. The Davidson brothers announce that Taggat's plywood will be merchandised under a realistic grading system more closely in accord with that used by domestic distributors.

Spolding Subdivision APProYed

'Visalia, talif.-The Spalding Lumber Companl'-backed venture of a nerv subdivision on the N.

James Foster, Spalding representative, saicl the lumber firm rvoulcl study the conditions of a minimum-size, 8,000-sq.-ft. lot'

The lineyard concern's subdivision had been originally planned to cover 50 acres of 150 lots of kru'-cost housing in 2-bedroom homes. Spalding had agreed to voluntarily impose restrictions of the building code and zoning on the subdivision but the commission overlooked these conditions despite requests from tl.re city, the school district and other groups that the code lte applied. Foster said the comPany planned to follow all building-code retluirements and said the planned homes rvere rvell-designecl and n'ould be built to pass any building code.

lnlqnd to Distribute Up-Rite Ponel Sqw

Appointment of the Inland Lumber Company -as exclusive distributor for the newly developed Up-Rite Panel Saw is announced by Fred S. Thomson, president of the wholesale lumber firm. "After thoroughly investigating all panel saws on the market, we reached the unquaiified opinion that the UpRite Panel Saw reDresents the best value in the field today," Thomson said. With less than l/o of the retail lumber dealers in the country utilizing such a saw, Thomson predicted a large and

enthusiastic market for the Up-Rite, which is said to afford substantial savings in manpower, plus exceptional accuracv and safetv.

Lee ffarris, -manager of the Specialty division at Inland Lumber, stressed the manpower savings. With normal operations, Harris said, a lumber dealer can save enough in labor alone to pay the initial cost of ttrc saw in a short time.

Especially useful for cut-to-size plylvood, the Up-Rite can also be used profitably for trimming doors to size, cutting plastics, Formica, Celotex and aluminum sheets. It cuts and trims ma-

terials with a sharp, true, smooth edge. Using a hollow ground saw blade, the Up-Rite also is said to cut a perfect glue joint. Advantages of the position of the Up-Rite Saw are apparent immediately. Only 4 square feet of floor space is required, the saw being 7 feet wide and 10 feet high. Because the saw is located at the rear of the deck, sawdust drops to the back instead of into the face of the operator, Harris said. Two hold-down bars which are operated by ratchet levers hold material firm and flat during cutting operations, even if the material is warped or buckled. A steel saw raceway keeps the frame and saw accurate and permits

the saw to operate close to materials with minimum stress.

Adjustable alignment rods permit adjusting the saw to absolute tolerances and accuracy. A saw-return lever permits the saw to return to the desired starting position automatically after each cut. The upright position of the saw table permits the operator to stand up to his work and have all operating controls conveniently within his reach. It eliminates the awkward positions, stooping and bending required in the operation of a hortzontal table saw, thus greatly reducing the fatigue factor ln the operator.

Harris estimates that one man

New Booklets Tell How to Work, Finish, Buy Fir Plywood

Three new booklets on how to work, how to finish, and how to buy fir plywood have been released by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. All three contain up - to - date information, arranged for easy reading and with explanatory illustrations for the professional woodworker and carpenter and the home workshop handyman.

1'How to Work Fir Plywood" is a I2-page compilation of tips on using plywood, from the first saw cut to the last hinge; correct procedures for joint construction, nailing, screwing, gluing, drawer construction, shelf hanging, and installing catches, pulls, and hinges, as well as dozens of other vital points. "IIow to Finish Fir Plywood" details various .methods for painting and finishing fir plywood, inclu'des techniques for finishing special plywood products such as Texture OneEleven (the parallel-grooved panel) and striated or brushed plywoods, with their textured surfaces: both interior and exterior finishing processes are covered. "How to Buv Fir Plywood" explains the meaning of ply*ood types and grades, briefly describes the industry's rigid quality-control program, symbolized by the "DFPA Tested Quality" stamp that appears on all products manufactured under the program, also reproduces all major DFPA grade-trademarks and gives full information on each, in clear tabular form; 16 regular grades and eight specialty plvwoods are listed: typical uses of each grade, veneer quality, and standard stock sizes.

Single copies of all three booklets may be obtained free; quantity prices are $1.75 per 100 for "How to Finish Fir Plywood" and "f{ow to Buy Fir Plywood," $3.50 per 100 for "Ffow to Work Fir Plywood." Requests should be addressed to Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington.

Antogonism of Aloms

We are taught, many of us from our youth onwards, that competition is essential to the health and progress of the race. Or, as Herbert Spencer puts it, "society flourishes by the antagonism of its atoms."

But the obvious golden truth is that cooperation is good and competition bad, and that society flourishes by the mutual aid of human beings. I say t&rat is obvious, and so it is. And it is so well known that in all great military or commercial enterprises, individualism has to be subordinated to collective action. We do not believe that a house divided against itself shall stand: we believe that it shall fall.

We know that a state, torn by internal feuds and worn by faction fig&rting, cannot hold its own against a united people. We know that in a cricket or football team, a regiment, a ship's crew, a school, the "antagonism of the atoms" would mean defeat and failure.'We know that a society composed of antagonistic atoms would not be a society at all, and could not exist as a society. We know that if men are to found and govern cities, to build bridges and make roads, to establish universities, to sail ships and sink mines, and create educational systems and policies and religions, they must work together and not against one another.

Surely these things are as obvious as the fact that there could be no hive unless the bees worked as a colony and on ttre lines of mutual aid.

-Robert Blatchford.

Where Troubles Go

A crowd of troubles passed him by As he withcourage waited.

"We go," they said, "to tihose who mope, Who look on life dejected, Who weakly say goodbye to hopeWe go where we're expected."

The Ediror Got lt

In the country newspaper office, they one day found a big, fine looking turkey, left at the office.

Of course, there were many longing ey€s cast at the prize, but naturallv it fell to the lot of the editor, and since he showed no disposition to deny himself the treat, he carried it home, cooked, and ate it with much relish.

The next day a letter was handed to him, that read: "Mr.' Editor, f sent you a turkey yesterday, which has been the cause of much dispute in this district. Several turkeys have died in the same mysterious way, and we sent one to you to see if you could tell us what disease killed it."

Father's just another boy that's gone along before you; Just a bigger, wiser boy, who knows the road aheadBigger, wiser, stronger boy, who always watches o'er you, Pointing out the pitfalls in the stumbly path you tread.

Father is an older boy who played the games you're playing, Held the same illusions, aye-he made the same mistakes; Knows the short-cut back from where your wayward feet are straying.

Listen to that bigger boy, my son, for both your sakes.

Father is an older boy, and so he understands you. Understands, and patiently would guide your feet aright. Harken to him now before the world of men demands youFollow in his steps today, they'll lead you to the light.

Morgin for Truth

The late Bishop Canevin of the Pittsburgh Diocese was exhorting a women's society to greater zeal, and told this story by way of illustration: "When I was a young priest I was in charge of a paristr notable for its lack of interest. One cold and rainy night, Michael, the 250-pound janitor, and I arrived to perform our respective duties for an announced meeting. Not another soul appeared. The following week the diocesan paper noted that'a large and enthusiastic audience attended the weekly sodality meeting of our parish.' Much astonished, Michael called it to my attention:

" 'Large and enthusiastic ! Humph !' he growled, in honest indignation. 'Why, your riverence, you know there wasn't a soul there but you and meself.'

"'Yes, Michael, but the item is perfectly true,' I pacified. 'You see, you are large, and I am enthusi45fig'."-Qoronet.

Dr. Elior to Young Folks:

"If I had the opportunty to say a final word to all the young people of America, it would be this: Don't think too much about yourselves. Try to cultivate the habit of thinking of others; this will reward you. Nourish your minds by good reading, constant reading. Discover what your life work is, work in which you can do most good, in which you can be happiest. Be unafraid in all th,ings when you know you are in the right."-Dr.

Western Red CedarThis giant cedar reaches its finest development in the rainy forests of British Columbia's southern coast, where it may grow to 200 feet tall and 18 feet in diameter. With its straight, beautiful grain, light weight, working ease and exeeptional all-weather durability, Western Red Cedar is highly esteemed by home builders the world over, for both exterior and indoor use. It has a very low shrinkage factor and its cellular structure gives it a very high insulating value. Heightening the interest of this fine wood's attractively figured grain is its wide color variationranging from a delicate straw tone to a dark ruddy brown. Left in its natural state, or stained, bleached, varnished or painted, Western Red Cedar graces every setting with a rich look of warmth and character.

FATLS IN IU'NBER YARDS

(Courtesy of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern Cali'fomia')

What is your estimate of accidents due to falling, slipping, tripping, etc.-maybe 3/o, pethaps as high as 5/o ? Yet a recent study conducted of lumberyard accidents revealed a startling l9/. of accidents were attributed to employes tripping or falling-second in tragedies only to motor-vehicle accidents. Of this l9/o, 6/o were attributed to falls from elevations and l3/o to tripping and slipping.

As with most accidents, some of the more serious falls have occurred to persons whom one would least expect to have an accident, owners and senior employes who know the yard practically blindfolded-accidents which occurrred under what would appear to be the least hazardous conditions.

The rule of safety is simple-precaution-or, to borrow a phrase-preventative maintenance.

Here are hazards inaolz.,ed most frequently:

Misplaced objects on floors and stairs.

Grease, oil, and water on flooring or on platforms. Material that is apt to shift under foot, such as stacks of lumber, nails, etc.

Irregular floors or platforms; alleyways which are in poor condition.

5. Worn or broken steps or stairs.

6. Irregular stair treads.

7. Heels catching on cuffs of overalls or trousers.

8. Unstable or weak ladders.

9. Shoes with turned-over heels or loose soles.

10. Faulty illumination.

11. Unguarded floor openings.

12. Loose covers over floor openings.

13. Makeshift substitutes for ladders such as boxes, barrels, or chairs.

14. Icy or slimy footing.

15. Loose planks in floors and scaffolds.

16. Otr balance brought on by leaning too far over platforms.

17. Failure to use safety lines.

Do you have a company safety committee or safety inspector ? When did they last meet-report to you ? Did you review their recommendations? Does it meet regularly?-the time is small, only 15 to 20 minutes a month.

When the committee is walking through the yard, have them report on possible fire hazards also-it pays:

A REDUCTION OF ONLY 1/10 OF one percent IN ANY TYPE OF EXPENSE MEANS $300, AND FIVE SUCH DIFFERENCES ADD UP TO $1,500*-why not start with safety ?

When is your next safety committee meeting?

*Based on sales of $300,000 a year.

J-M Opening Insulqting Boord Plont

ln

Klqmofh Folls Eorly in 1958

Two new insulating board plants will join the Johns-Mansville production line within the next several months, almost doubling manufacturing capacity in wood fibre products, according to A. R. Fisher, president. Located at North Bay, Ontario, and Klamath Falls, Oregon, the new plants are designed to meet the growing demand for insulating and building board products, and augment present production by J-M's Jarratt, Virginia, and Natchez, Miss., operations. W. H. Graham, plant manager at Natchez, has been appointed plant manager of the Klamath Falls plant. Early in 1958, J-M is scheduled to begin production at its new Oregon mill. The plant will use an estimated 50,000 cords annualy of local lodgepole pine.

Although so-called "lodgepole" pine is abundant

of Oregon, the Johns-Manville plant will provide one of the first major commercial uses for this type of timber. Formerly in slight demand, this new use will make a significant contribution to the economy of the area. The new plant will utilize the ground wood process, not commonly used in pulpwood operations on the Pacific Coast.

Redlands, Calif.-San Bernardino county population will be close to 500,000 in three years and near the 800,00O mark by 197O, Redlands Realty Board members were told by Jack B. Brink of the Security-First National Bank research department in a recent talk.

Frank Haney, chairman of the Time and Place committee, then.reported that the convention in 1958 would be held in Prescott, Arizona, during the third week of May. A motion duly made, seconded and carried unanimously approved this recommendation.

After the reports of committees, thr€e films were run by Frank Parker of U. S. Gypsum in Phoenix and were all thoroughly enjoyed. They were "Women's Congress Homes," sponsored by Celotex Corporation; "Chuck Woods, Go-Giver," sponsored by Wood Conversion Company, and "Profit Management," sponsored by U. S. Gypsum Company.

From 6:00 p.m. to 7 :30, the annual cocktail party on the pool patio was given through the courtesy of Union Gypsum Company, followed by the annual banquet in the main dining room. Charles E.

Hoctor, Mrs. Marian Swanson, Mrs. GenBrecheisen, Mrs. Ty Killen, Mrs. Frances Cox and Mrs. Katie Michaels. I\4attie Medigovich was unable to attend but a telegram was read at the ladies luncheon and at the regular session which expressed her wonderful spirit.

On Sunday, more than 70 of the convention group went to the races at Turf Paradise as guests of Walter Cluer and the ninth race wa-s dedicated to the Arizona dealers association.

Colonel said to him: "Didn't you agree to let me do all the swearing for the regiment?" The teamster said: "Yes, Colonel, I did, but the fact is that the swearing had to be done right then or not at all and you were not there to tend to it, so I had to do it myself."

The memory of an American soldier who died in Normandy in World War Two richly deserves to be kept alive. He was General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of the great Teddy, and he died of sheer exhaustion on the field of battle. A doughboy who served under him declared that he was the "fightingest d-n officer in any army," and Major G,eneral R. O. Barton. Commander of the U. S. Fourth Division, said at the time of Roosevelt's death: "He was the most gallant soldier, officer, and gentleman I have ever known and I make no exceptions."

Socrates taught on the streets of Attrens nearly five hundred years before Christ. His chief teaching was thisthat a man could only succeed by the building and development of his own character. and in order to do that successfully he must be able to stand to one side and watch himself go by. He said a man should look upon his own mind, his own character, as a thing apart, and he strould sit as a bystander and watch it work, and judge its development, its strength and weakness, in an entirely abstract manner. If he discovered that his mind was showing small weaknesses, such as anger, jealousy, fear, etc., he s&rould realize its imperfections and go to work to correct them, and build his mind and character to higher levels.
