The California Lumber Merchant - June 1948

lUloke YourYsrd Heodquarters for DECAY-PROOF, TERIYIITE- PR00F lumber

For added business and steady customers, set yourselfup as local headquarters for the lumber that is pressure-treated against wood-destroying fungi and termites-"Wohnanized" lumber.

It's easy to build profitable business on Wolmanized lurnber because both owners and contractors quickly appreciate the saving it offers. You can point out that the extra cost of Wolmanized pressure-treated lumber is less than the cost of labor alone to replace ordinary lumber

which has suffered from decay or termites. And you can show actual service records which prove that this pressure-treated lumber lasts 3 to 5 times as long as ordinary wood. A complete merchandising plan is available to help you make sales. With the amount of building that lies ahead, Wolmanized lumber represents an excellent chance for you to attract business to your yard. Write today to American Lumber & Tleating Company for full information.

Flood \(/aters Close Many Sawmills

The total estimated loss of lumber production by sawmills on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers forced to shut down by flood conditions exceeds 5,000,000 board feet per day.

All the mills from Portland to the Pacific Ocean on tl-re Columbia River are down, as are all the mills on the Willamette River from Portland north to the junction rvith the Columbia, either on account of being flooded or by orders of the Army Engineers. Long-Bell and Weyerhaeuser Longview Mills, for instance, are not flooded but the Engineers fear that the vibration of the mills if rttnning rvould help to weaken the dikes.

Among the Fir mills that are dttrvn and their dailv production in boarcl feet are: l-ong-llell Lumber Co., 500,0CD; Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., 1,500,000; Pope & Talbot. Inc., St. Helens, 600,000; Inman-Poulsen I-umber Co., 350,000; Wauna Lumber Co., 200,000; Shepard & Morse Lumber Co., Westport Division, 225,000; Portland Lumber Mills, 165,000; West Oregon l-umber Co., 150,00O; Jones Lumber Co., 150,000, and Kingsley Lumber Co', 150,000.

How long the mills will be dowrr depends on the amotlnt of darnage done. Sorne docks have floate<l an'ay and rvill have to be replaced. Other mills like those at Lot'rgvierv will start up as soon as the flood passes.

Flood waters on the Columbia River hal'e also closed many I'ine rnills in Easterrr Washington an<l the Trrlan<l Empire.

Building Code Expert Opporer T-E-W Bill New Construction in M.y Totaled

Washington, D. C., May 28-In a statement this morning to the House Banking and Currency Committee on provisions of the Taft-Ellender-Wagner housing bill relating to building codes, James W. Morgan, President, Southern Building Codes Congress, lashed out at this proposal to interject federal authority into the field.

"The Southern Building Codes Congress u'as formed as a means of solving problems of mutual concern among Southern cities in respect to those lar.vs rvhich are enacted under the police powers for public safety and rvelfare. We are opposed to the principle of federal intervention and interference in this problem," Mr. Morgan asserted.

Mr. Morgan, who also is Commissioner of Public Improvements, Birmingham, Alabama, was vehement in his denouncement of federal interference in a problem which he termed "one of local jurisdiction" rvhich can and is .,being solved adequately by strictli' voluntary and cooperative procedures which rvere initiated by and are being carried on at the local level."

Predicting that passage of the T-E-W bill would lead to the establishment of a centralized building code in Washington, Mr. Morgan pointed out the shortcomings of such a code in meeting local requirements and conditions.

"There is too much of this regulating and directing of living standards 'from Washington," he .continued in pointing out the dangers inherent in making an administrator all-powerful in determining local building standards. Turning to the success which the Southern Building Codes Congress has experienced in improving codes in the South, Mr. Morgan made it clear that the progress was due in large part to the fact that the recommended Southern code fit the needs of Southern cities and was "a code accepted and used because of its merit-not because we had a club to wave over their heads and compel them to adopt it.,'

"We need neither the help nor the interference of a fedral bureau. in this matter," he reiterated.

All the trip was made by airplane, and he traveled 18,000 miles.

Washington-New construction during M"y totaled about $1,449 million, an increase of ll/o over April, but slightly less than the normal seasonal gain, the Commerce Department estimated.

The figure was 40/o above May 1947.It includes all work actually done during the month in all construction fields, both public and private Industrial building was the only type of privately financed construction to show a decline. Totaling $114 million in May, it was 2/o under April and lgls less than in the same month last year.

Farm construction showed the greatest increase, 35%, from April to May. The April total was 937 million compared rvith $50 million for May and g4O milli<-rn for Muy, 1947.

Private construction in May-valued at $1,111 million, or a lO/o gain over April and a 4llo gain over Mayof last year-had the greatest total but types of public construction showed the most marked increases.

Public construction last month totaled $338 million, about 18ls more than in April and 40/o over May, 1947. The value of educational buildings put in place in May was $40 million, up 74/o over May, u'hile hospitals and institutional building were up 18316 lor the same period.

At this season of the. year when all over the land colleges and other educational institutions are graduating young people and sending them out into the world to seek their fortunes, the above quotation would, in my opinion, fit well into every commencement address. For in all this world's history, it was the wisest and most beautiful choice a man ever made.

In case you are " fi..f"ifrl" Jryorr Bible history, this is the story, boiled down. The Lord appeared to Solomon and asked him what He could give him-what He could do for him? And Solomon, who thus had his choice of all the wealth and power the universe afforded, replied simply: "Give thy servant "l "fdT","nding heart."

It was a wonderful choice that won the admiration of Diety, for the Lord said to him-not in these exact words but in this sense-"Because you have made so fine a choice, I will not only give you a wise and understanding heart, but I will also give you all those other kinds of wealth that you did not ask for, such riches, and honor as no man ever had before." That's the tale in all its simplicity. It is a beautiful story that not enough young folks-or old ones either-are familiar with. That swell story might well be used as an object lesson in all our processes of living, as well as in commencement sp€eches.

Want to read a nice little sermon on this thing we call living? Here is one from the pen of Talbot Mundy in his "Log of Tros of Samothrace": "Whence I came, I know. Wither I go, I know not. I came forth from the womb of experience. What I know, that I am. What I know not is the limitless measure of what I may become. Life grows, and I see it. And so I grow, because I know it. I will strike such a blow on the anvil of life as shall use to the utmost all that I am. Thus, though I know not whither I go nor what I shall be, I shall go to no home of idleness. I shall be no gray ghost lamenting what I might have done. but did not."

To be successful (and I'm not talking about your bank account because that's the fool's way of measuring success) you've got to be happy. (Of course if you're happy you're already successful and your only serious problem is to stay that way.) To be happy you've got to be healthy. Think and talk heatth. Exercise intelligently. Cultivate the sunshine and the open air. Get out and play with the kids. Absorb all you can of their enthusiasm. euit doing

and eating and drinking things that any even half intelligent person knows will hurt your vitality and effectiveness. Keep the old grin on your mug. To live, laugh, and love is the eleventh commandment, and the one that means success in life: real success.

When folks get to talking about the "good old days," old lumbermen in the Minnesota country are inclined to think back to the meals that used to be served some fifty years ago in the logging camps of that Northern territory. To remind them of some of the details, C. M. Oehler, who was once a camp clerk in the Virginia and Rainy Lake country, has written a book called "Time In The Timber," and thus he describes old time camp food: "The meals were enormous. This is what was served for the day. For breakfast we would have oatmeal with canned milk, flapjacks with syrup and butter, fried potatoes, ham, bacon, fried pork, bread, doughnuts, and coffee. At noon we might be served soup, meat, potatoes and gravy, corn bread or muffins, canned stringbeans and canned beets, doughnuts, one or two kinds of cake, canned plums, peaches, or apples. In the evening we probably would have soup, meat, potatoes and gravy, two kinds of canned vegetables, cookies, and doughnuts, cake and pie, rice or bread pudding or canned fruit." Understand, folks, that's all they furnished the loggers to eat. If a man couldn't get along on that, he just had to starve.

we often hear or ,."J .,Jan*wonder of the solid and substantial character of the food the majority of people are alleged to eat for breakfast in New England, and particularly in the area around Boston. Heavy meats, sweets, and vegetables predominate on such menus. John Adams, second President of the United States, went farther 3-LUNIBER MERCHANT ..vn . Duran 3 than that. He customarily " drank a quart of hard cider every morning before breakfast. However, my friend Tom Dreier suggests that it probably shortened his life-he only lived to be ninety.

Another old timer who lived to be 93, yet worked and studied hard all his years was Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. He discussed the subject of death with calmness and even humor. He said: "If the good Lord should tell me I had only five minutes to live, I would say to Him, 'all right, Lord, but I'm sorry Y*ou can't make it ten.',,

The canadian GovernrrL"l,"-o..ping canadian money -and Canadians-at home. It is being done by means of the austerity law that started last November which provides that a Canadian is permitted to take no more than one hundred and fifty American dollars out of Canada in any one year for pleasure purposes. Since in these times, that amount of money will barely permit a Canadian to go across the border for the fewest days, and will permit him to make almost no purchases, Canadians are staying home and seeking places and ways of spending their pleasure money in Canada. Reports say that towns along the Northern border of the United States that have long profited by Canadian trade, are now going without that nice extra business. British Columbia, with its beautiful scenery and mild winter climate, has profited tremendously by the new rules. And the New York and Florida goldcoast and gold-cost clip-joints for catching loose Canadian dollars, are now going without. If ERP doesn't work successfully, the United States might have to pass such a law covering the citizens of THIS country-3nd our Government as well'

The gold-mining industry and the lumber manufacturing industry of the State of California, were born at the same time, and the same place, and through the same operation. During the winter of 1847-48 James Wilson Marshall was hired by another named John Augustus Sutter to build and operate a sawmill at a point named Coloma on the South Fork of the American River in Northern California. The mill, a water-power unit operating a drag saw, was about half finished on January 24th, 1848, when Marshall picked a piece of. gold about the size of a melon seed out of the water running through the mill race. And the gold rush was soon on. They completed the mill and began the manufacture of Sugar Pine from the forests close by. So two great industries were born. While the gold rush proved by far the more dramatic of the two, the lumber industry became far more important to California than gold ever did, and in the past, the present, and the future, it will continue to be a source of great good, great wealth, and great employment to the state and its people. A whole lot more gold has come and will come through the founding of the lumber industry, than all the mines and rivers

cf the state could ever produce. A stone monument now marks the site of Sutter's sawmill.

There is a vast "*o,rri ott dabbing and guessing and conjecturing about the foremost world subject, the atomic bomb, mostly by writers and politicians who know less about the subject than a pig does about the power of prayer. Therefore, when a man speaks who DOES know, it should mean something. Know who the foremost authority on the atomic bomb is? Most people don't. His name ,is Lieutenant General Leslie R. Groves (retired). He is the man who headed and directed the entire atomic bomb development effort, that vast scientific and military team that produced the bomb. When you come to General Groves for bomb information, you not only come to AN authority-you come to THE authority. So, when he speaks on that subject, forget all the other stuff you've heard and read, and listen. * *

He made a speech on that very subject recently, made it to a convention of manufacturers at Atlantic City. And there was no hush-hush about his opihions, although that was the first time he had discussed the matter publicly. He answered the question everyone asks-have the Russians got the atomic bomb? In his speech he simply said that he considered the manufacture of atomic bombs, "still too difficult for Russia and her satellites." But in private talks he guessed it would take Russia at least twenty years to produce a single bomb. Then he is not so sure they could do much with i!. YSF can't ship those things around like a sack of satti'ttri"r'sign "handle with care" is all over them.

He expressed the opinion that even if an enemy nation learned to make a bomb, we could very well protect ourselves, and would not be at the mercy of that nation. He urged that we prepare for an atoiirjg war of the future, and be prepared to retaliate most 'dffectively if we are ever attacked. He said: "We must have in being a force whose primary mission is one of retaliation in the event of such an attack. ft must be so located that its effectiveness cannot be destroyed by enemy actiorl, either by direct attack or by sabotage. It must not be diverted to other purposes in the event of an emergency, and it must be able to do the job. . To insure peace, we must not only be prepared to win a urar if it comes, we must be prepared to the extent that will convince trouble-seeking nations that war with us will mean certain defeat for them." ***

Some wag says he thinks it eminently fitting that the two national political conventions be held in Philadelphia, because that is the home of the Liberty Bell, and the Liberty Bell reminds him of most politicians-tongue hanging out, and cracked as hell.

Ffood Closes Three Mills of Pordand Shingle Company

the worst, as well as to make the best of the enforced. mill idleness by oiling and checking the machines in preparation for quick resumption, once the waters had receded suffi_ ciently.

Everywhere, ofificials and workers alike pitched in to help Al Schmidt and the Portland Shingle Company in this battle with the Columbia river.

When piles of shakes and shingles tumbled into the swirling waters, men took ofi in rowboats after the floating bundles, and corraled virtually all of them.

The company carried on through the crisis at its main office, 9036 N. Denver Avenue, Portland, which is only a ferv hundred yards from flooded Vanport. The offiice staff ' obtained permission from the authorities to go to work, since travel in the flood area was closed to the public.

"Thanks to the fine cooperation of all the people in our company in meeting this emergency, the damage to our equipment has been negligible," said Al Schmidt, ,,and our losses in logs, blocks, shakes, and shingles have been small. We can assure our customers that we have an ample supply of blocks on hand, and that just as soon as the waters go down we'll resume full and unhampered production.,'

Portland, Oregon, June 5-The Columbia river flood, which forced down three of the four mills of the Portland Shingle Company, large shingle manufacturer concern of the Pacific Northwest, is just another episode in the career of this l3-year-old firm and its resourceful o.ivner, Al Schmidt.

Back in 1937, two years after establishment of the company, fire struck the Portland mill, on the banks of the Columbia, the only mill which the company operated at that time. While the smoke was still rolling up, Schmidt was ordering lumber with which to build a nerv plant. Scarcely had the ashes cooled when reconstruction was begun.

When the Old Man River of the West started to act up in a threatening manner a short time ago, Al Schmidt was not caught off guard. He ordered removal of motors and other equipment menaced by the rising water. When the flood forced down the Portland mill and the two Washington operations at Ridgefield and Kelso, all located along the Columbia, he put the Quinault plant, up on the Olympic peninsula in Washington, on three shifts. He traveled from mill to mill. He mobilized the cre\\,s to prepare for

Philippine Government Increases

Hardwood Lumbermen Will Meet Mahogany Export Quota to Fifty Per Cent At Santa Barbara Biltmore

On June 2nd President Elpidio Quirino, of the philippine Government, announced that effective June 4th the quota of exportable Philippine lumber would be increased from 20 to 50 per cent. It should be understood that this means each mill is allor,ved to export up to 50 per cent of its production, and not that 50 per cent of the total amount of Philippine production could be exported. However this very large increase announcement was received with high satisfaction by all those interested in the importation and sale of Philippine Mahogany in this country, and much increased activity is noticeable in the Philippine hardwood market.

Figures are not attainable on the amount of Philippine lumber now being manufactured, or the amount that may norv come to the United States. Only one large Philippine mill is now in operation, that of the Insular Lumber Company, which is manufacturing about.three to three and one half million feet of lumber a month. All other mills are comparatively small in size, since the Japs destroyed or dismantled them all during their occupancy.

It is well to remember ;",-r human being is just like a tack-he can go only as far as his head will let him.

If the present turmoil ind.,rrr. force us to make a brand new world, it's comforting to know that the materials are ready. The first one was made out of chaos, also.

It should be remembered that the test of courage conres when we are in the minority, and that the test of tolerance comes when we are in the rnajority.

It is well to have an open mind on every question, but, like windows, let us have screens to keep the bugs out.

It would be impossible to turn this country back to the Indians. There are only 400,000 of them-hardly one-fifth enough to run the federal ,bureaus, to say nothing of all the other jobs.

A Weanrer

I am a weaver of golden cloth

Singing old songs, I weave A fabric to wrap round a thousand dreams When the long blue shadows leave.

The smile of a girl in organdy, The touch of a small white hand, A winding road in Normandy Where tall white birches stand.

The path of a tear that traced a way Down a cheek I would have kissed; The starlight of a night in May, Red lips and meadow mist.

These things are golden: f weave them Mindless of pattern or form, Into the fragment cloth of gold That keeps my old dreams warm.

Where Troubles Go

A crowd of trouiles passed him by As he with courage waited. He said, "Where do you troubles fly When you are thus belated?"

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

Dr. Eliot To Young Folks

"If I had the opportunity 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 things when you know you are in the right."

Coolidge On Success

"I agree that the measure of success is not merchandise, but character. But I do criticize those sentiments, held in all too respectable quarters, that our economic system is fundamentally wrong, that commerce is only selfishness, and that our citizens, holding the hope of all that America means, are living in industrial slavery. The man who builds a factory, builds a temple. The man who works there, worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise."

Digging For Success

Hard work means nothing to a hen. She just keeps on digging and laying eggs, regardless of what the business prognosticators say about the outlook for this or any other year.

If the ground is hard, she scratches harder.

If it's dry, she digs deeper.

If it's wet, she digs where it's dry.

If she strikes a rock, she works around it.

If she gets a few more hours of daylight, she gives us a few more eggs.

But always she digs up worms and turns them into hard shell profits, as well as tender, profitable broilers.

Did you ever see a pessimistic hen? Did you ever hear of one starving to death while she waited for the worms to dig their way to the surface ?

Did you ever hear one cackle because,work was hard?

Not on your life ! They save their breath for digging, and their cackles for eggs.

Success means digging. Are you?

The Lumber Yard Should Be The Home Store

(From Weyerhaeuser News)

With competition {or the home market looming large on every side, one of the moot questions of the hour is how to interest prospects in the services provided by lumber dealers.

An answer seems to have been found in the exhibit developed recently for Weyerhaeuser Sales Company which created much attention and received a great deal of publicity.

While the booth was only ten feet wide and eight feet in depth, the overall effect was spectacular enough to compete sucessfully with the several larger animated exhibits in the vicinity.

BnoNze Pacific Uire Products Go.

"DURO"

With the exception of the six Modular lfomes in the foreground, which are not available nationally, the designs are from the Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Service. The exhibit consists of nine boxes containing from six to eight models each. An ordinary table or desk can be used for the front of the booth, with the dealer's sign across the top of the exhibit space.

Interest was added by the fact that the approximate monthly payment required to liquidate the mortgage was shown underneath each design. A reference table in the booth showed the maximum mortgage which could be paid otr in N years on this basis. The difference between that amount and the estimated cost of the house was the down payment required to make the purchase. This down payment became, in reality, the actual cost of the house to the purchaser, since the balance was paid off in monthly installments which were the equivalent of rent. The cubic footage of the various designs was used in estimating the price.

The 4-Square Home Service now includes more than 100 small houses designed by the nation's leading architects. All are engineered by Weyerhaeuser to make maximum use of standard lumber items as they come from the dealer's stock.

Each month a new home is added to the Service and the lumber dealer is featured nationally as the local source of supply for authentic home information. Recently more than 2,000 inquiries concerning 4-Square homes were received in a single day. Included each month are tie-in promotional material and scale models to enable dealers to feature the newest \Veyerhaeuser design and the complete 4-Square Home Service in their local newspapers, show rvindows and displav rooms.

Trcrining Needed Brickmasons

Mason Opposes T-E-V/ Bill and Suggests the Modernization o[

Title I and Title ll

with Provisions for Secondary Mortgage Financing

Washington, D. C., June 4-Branding the TEW Bill as simply a program to spend the American people's money for them, Norman P. Mason, President, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washington, D. C., told the Ifouse Banking and Currency Committee today that the net result of the bill will be to spend the money, have a big agency, and still not improve the housing situation.

The average American, of course, would like to see everyone housed in a better home, Mason pointed out. It is quite possible that somewhere between 80 and 90 per cent of American families would like to move into a better house, a more convenient house, or one located in another place, but it is questionable whether -or not they would like to spend a larger proportion of their in'come for that privilege.

A study of the record of how the American people spent their money in 1946 (the last year for which there is a breakdown) brings out the Iact that the American public spent $12.6 billion on essential housing in 1946 compared with the many more billions spent on luxury items, saicl Mason.

For example, he continued, in 1946 the American people spent $12.1 billion on liquor and tobacco. This is almost the same amount spent for housing. It is also interesting to note that the increase in the amount spent for liquor and to,bacco between 1940 and 1946 was 724 per cent, and this is exactly the percentage increase in rvages and salaries for the Ameri'can people between 1940 and 1946.

On such items as jewelry, cosmetics, beauticians, turkish baths, personal care, travel by plane, bus or train, recreation, including movies, horse and dog racing sports, the American people spent another $12.7 billion, or $100 million more than they spent on housing, Mason averred.

"When you analyze these figures you reach the conclusions," Mason stated, "that subsidies for housing are in effect subsidies to the producers of other commodities, an extremely large proportion of which would be luxury items."

"What is the bill supposed to do," Mason asked. "ft cer-

tainly won't add anything immediately to America's supply of homes."

The bill proposes to spend over 9 billion dollars without one thing in it that assures either more homes or better homes, he pointed out.

There is no suggestion made that rvill increase the supply of either labor or materials, nor is there any suggestion that will speed up 'construction that is already going forrvard at an unprecedented rate, he continued.

Financing promises and outright grants to farmers, even though related to housing, will certainly not produce additional housing when the available supply of materials and labor are already being channelled into housing, he said.

"Under such circumstances," Mason charged, "the action of the TEW Bill can only result in inflation by providing that government compete for materials and labor in order to build homes for those who can't pay for them while those who have the money to buy homes wait. This type of action perpetuates not only the housing shortage, but the inflationary tendencies."

fncreasing the Federal debt and increased expenditures of tax money, Mason stated, likewise is reflected in the increased cost of living.

This triply-inflationary TEW Bill not only will not alleviate the housing situation, but will make it worse by driving prices higher and by shackling private industry with doubts and with shortages of materials, Mason said.

Mason recommended that the Committee report out a bill that would modernize Titles I and II of the National Housing Act; provide a stimulus for banking institutions to invest in Title I, Class 3 loans, and to provide a means of secondary mortgage financing for Title II and Title I, Class 3 loans through the R. F. C.

Announces a New \(/oodwork Product

A new r,r'oodwork product, developed for use in the production of high quality Curtis Wood'ivork, has just been announced by Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa.

Known as Prespine, the ner'v product has now been perfected after constant research and testing since 1945. Prespine will be used in the manufacture of several Curtis \Moodwork products, including door panels and kitchen cabinet units. It is available nor"' only as used in Curtis Woodwork.

Prespine is made frorn linely divided u'ood, to rvhich is added resin and other ingredients for binder and it is pressed into panels. The chernical composition of the wood itself is not changed in the process. The color of Prespine is very close to that of natural lvood.

One of the outstanding advantages of Prespine, Curtis officials say, is its finishing surface which provides an excellent bond for paint. It also takes any color of stain beautifully. Prespine will not cause cracks or checks through paint, and r,r'ill not cause paint discoloration. There is no grain raising, and edges provide a better surface to finish.

In addition to its ability to take any finish, Prespine is a highly stable product, uniform in structure. Tests shorv that it has the strength to take heavy impact blows-that it won't mar or scratch readily-won't splinter or chip at edges.

In introducing Prespine, Curtis officials stated that it is a better product for use in the production of some items of

Northwest Lumber Exports Decline

Seattle-Waterborne lumber exports from Pacific Northwest ports in British Columbia Puget Sound, GraysWillapa harbor, Columbia River a.nd Oregon coast during April totaled 96.6 million board feet, compared u,ith 139..1 million board feet for April, 1947 , Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau's figures show.

Total waterborne exports for the first four months of 1948 were 418.8 million board feet, compared rvith 533.1 million feet for the corresponding period of last year.

Waterborne lumber shipments from Oregon and Washington ports to U. S. destinations totaled 92.4 million feet in April, compared rvith 64.3 million in April, 1947. Of the April 1948 total, 53.4 million rvas from Oregon ports and the rest from Washington.

Continuing a trend begun in February of this year, British Columbia shipped 15.8 million feet to U. S. destinations during April, including 12.6 million to Atlantic coast and 2.6 million to California, as against no shipments for April of last year.

British Columbia exported 67.2 million board feet during April-more than two-thirds of the month's total exports from the Pacific Northwest-compared with 87.2 million in April, 1947. The exports brought B. C.'s total for the first four months of 1948 to 2ffi.4 million feet, as against 356.2 million for the like period of last year.

Of B. C.'s April, 1948 exports, United Kingdom receivecl 44 million feet; Australia 4.1 million, Africa 8, China 3.5 and Egypt, Palestine and Arabia, 1.9.

Of Washington and Oregon's domestic shipments, 52.3 million lvent to the Atlantic coast, 32.3 to California ancl 1.9 to Hau'aiian Islands.

Improvement Progrqm

As a part of the improvement program started about the first of the year, A. K. Wilson Lumber Company, Compton, Calif., has installed a new flood light system,,costing around $50,000, and consisting of sixty poles with four lights suspended Trom each pole.

Other items in the program include the black-topping of ten acres of the yard, and the covering of another tu,ent-v*five acres rvith decomposed granite.

They are also installing a new system of dry kilns, designed by Mr. Wilson and Cross Engineering Co. of Los Angeles. This system should be in operation verv shortly.

The Lumber Industry of Finland

A recent article in the Bank of Finland Monthly Bulletin, discussing industrial progress since the war, points out that despite the emergence of metal rvorking as a major factor in the home econorny, the forest industries will always provide the bulk of Finnish exports. The pre-'r,r'ar volume, it says, can never be reached again as the supply of raw material is smaller now. But there are good reasons for expecting a qualitative development, viz., an increased output of the better kinds of goods, and more intensive utilization of residues. The prefabricated house industry which first appeared during the recent war, norv absorbs 10 per cent of the output of the sawmills, and several large plants for the manufacture of rvood-waste boards are already operating or under construction. The expansion of rayon and artificial rvool manufacturing. is another typical instance. A qualitative improvement is necessary in order to meet competition from other countries with a welldeveloped forest industry. Tl-ris, however, cannot be attained without modernising and extending the technical equipment, the renewal of which was neglected for obvious reasons during the war. To a certain extent reconstruction is facilitated by the fact that part of the loan Finland received from America in the beginning of 1947 lvas expressly reserved for the purchase of machinery and requisites for the forest industries.

The number of workers in the wood industry rvas approximately 53,500 in 1938. In 7944 it fell to 35,000, and $ras estimated at 41,500 in 1946.

Strike Settlement Mqde

Settlement of the last two of 11 C. I. O. boommen strikes has brought to a conclusion a controversy which has hampered lumber production in the Pacific Northwest since April 3. Workers at Seattle and Tacoma voted to accept a 12.5 cents hourly increase, the same rate which employers offered before the strike. This boosts hourly minimum pay to $1.45.

Reuse o[ Structural Lumber

By Lyman \il. \(/ood, Ensineer Forest Products Laborotory, 1 Fosest Service U. S. Department of Agriculture

The reuse of second-hand lumber is a subject deserving of present attention. Although this is not a new practice, it is now of particular importance because of the large quantities of such lum,ber being released by the Army as temporary rvartime buildings are put up for sale. In using this material, however, certain precautions should be observed.

Preference of the industry for new over second-hand lumber is wholly understandable, Old lumber may be unattractive in appearance; it requires careful inspebtion before use; and in some cases it has been subjected to service that- may have rendered it unfit for further use. Cost of reworking or of repairing damage may make it no cheaper than new lumber. On the other hand, the salvage of old lumber and timbers is not difficult, and if suitable precautionS are taken, satisfactory results may be expected.

The Army, in 1943, had buildings totaling more than a billion square feet of floor area, the major portion of which was wood construction. Many of these buildings have been made available for reuse, and more may become available as time goes on. Lumber salvaged from World War I cantonments is still in use in some places.

It may be pointed out that since old lumber is generally well seasoned, it can be refabricated with assurance that it will maintain its size and shape. This is especially important in the thicker timbers used in heavy construction where air seasoning is slow.

Salvaging old material need not be costly. Nails can usually be pulled out of lumber without serious damage to it. At Fort Lewis, Washington, it was found that a dynamite charge inside a barracks building loosened nailed joints with less damage than the usual wrecking-bar methods. Construction employing ,bolts or connectors can be disassembled and reerected with little difficulty. -Repairs

'Maintained at Madison, Wis., in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin.

or reinforcements, when needed, can be made a part of the operation.

Among the precautions necessary if. reuse of lumber or structural timbers is to be satisfactory, the most important is against decay. Since the effect or decay upon strength cannot be estimated visually, material in which decay or rot is found should not be used where strength is important. Much old lumber is darkened or discolored from exposure; this is not in itself harmful, though the discoloration may have resulted from moisture conditions that were also favorable to decay. Decay or rot can usually be identified by the appearance of brown or white spots or irregular zones, the development of brash or brittle texture, and the occurrence of collapsed or abnormally shrunken areas. Likely locations are near the bases of columns and other places where moisture may collect and remain.

It has been shown from tests and service records that wood protected from decay does not deteriorate with time. The Forest Products Laboratory tested railway bridge stringers after 23 years of service and found them as strong as the averag'e of new material. Roof timbers from a market in Alexandria, Va., were found generally serviceable after nearly a century of use. Wooden structures of still greater age are in servi'ce in many places.

Inspection of structural lumber for reuse should include a recheck of grade to see that it meets the strength requirements of the new use. Resawed material must be regraded.

Short deep beams that are heavily loaded are highly stressed in longitudinal shear. Such shear stresses are concentrated at the base of notches or around bolt holes, such as may be present in used timbers. In the previously mentioned Forest Products Laboratory tests, some of the old bridge stringers failed from this cause. Where the new

Safety First

We were crowded in the Plymouth, None of us had thought of sleep. We were dashing through the mountains And the grades were mighty steep. Roads rvere little more than plate rails, Highway markers cautioned, "Slow," Great escarpments gloomed above us, Rock ribbed canyons yawned below.

Round a curve there roared a monster With a glare of blinding light ! In avoiding it, our driver

Swerved abruptly to the right. "This is it," he muttered grimly, As the big car left the road And then hurtled the embankment With its helpless human load.

We were rescued in the morningBroken bones and shattered nerves, Told a tale of reckless driving, Undimmed lights and hair pin curves. Wounds have healed, but memories linger Of a night we can't forget; All its hours of pain and terror Come in dreams to haunt us yet.

Open roads again are calling, Forests beckon, rivers sing, Every passing breeze is freighted With the redolence of spring; But we do no heedless driving, For with highrvay rules rehearsed, We are exercising caution And our motto's' tt:tJtlttilerriam conner.

New Dwelling Units Started in April Under FHA Inspection Sets New Record

A nerv all-time record of new drvelling units started in any one month under FHA inspection rvas established in Ap:il rvith a total of 35,555 units, Federal Housing Commissioner Franklin D. Richards announced.

This exceeds the March volume of 30,122 units by 18 per cent, and the previous high record of 30,386 started last October by 17 per cent. Also, it represents about 40 per cent of all non-farm dr,velling units started during April, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The volume of neu' residential construction started under FHA inspection for the first four months of 1948 was rc4,698 units, considerably more than trvice the 42,032 units started during the same period of 1947.

Mr. Richards said that eight out of nine dwelling units started under FHA inspection so far during this year are being financed and built under the veterans emergency housing provisions of the National Housing Act (Title VI). More than 34,000 of the new units are located in rental housing projects while a considerable proportion of the other units are being built for rent.

E. L. (Ham) Payne and Stu Smith of Products, Pasadena, returned May 22 from fish fishing at La Paz, Mexico.

Arthur Koe hler Will Retire June 30 - - "JOE BEAVER" tVill Move to Los Angeles

Madison, Wis.-Arthur Koehler, widely known scientist and authority on wood structure and identification at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory here, will retire June 30. A member of the staff since 1914, Koehler has been chief of the Laboratory's Division of Silvicultural Relations for 25 years.

Succeeding Koehler as division chief will be Benson H. Paul, silviculturist on the Laboratory staff since 1922.

Koehler plans to move to Los Angeles, Calif. He has no intention, however, of laying aside the tools of his profession entirely, but expects to remain fairly active as a private consultant to lumbeimen, importers, manufacturers, builders, and others. In fact, he chose California as his next home at least partly because it offers him a good opportunity for continuing the work he has done the past 37 years.

"Los Angeles," he points out, "has become an important center for the importation of woods from South America and the Orient. Most of these woods have never been tested and studied the way native United States species have at the Forest Products Laboratory and elsewhere. Consequently, there are lots of questions constantly being raised about what they can be used for, what their properties are, and in fact what kind of wood they really are."

Koehler entered the Forest Service at Washington, D. C., in 1911, as a xylotomist-specialist in the microscopic study of wood. He has retained that title ever since, except for a few years when it was modified to "specialist in wood structure."

Reuse of Structural Lumber

Continued from Page 44 use involves high shear stresses, this matter should have consideration.

Reuse of material that has been damaged by accident or overload presents special problems. Pieces that have been heavily loaded should be carefully examined for incipient failures, especially if they are to be used in tension or bending. Fire-charred timbers are weakened by the efiects of high temperature beyond the area of charring, and should not be used where strength requirements are high. Structural material from storm wreckage should be carefully examined, and repaired or replaced as necessary. Best results are obtained in com,bining new material with old, if both are at about the same moisture content.

In summary, then, old lumber and timbers can be reused, but careful inspection is necessary if requirements of the new use are high. Wood protected from decay does not deteriorate with age, Old lumber is likely to be well seasoned, and the detection of defects may be easier than in new material. Demounting and reassembly of trusses or frames have been practiced and found not difficult. With proper precautions, a considerable amount of used material may thus be available.

Named Washington Manager

Cecil A. Luce, prominent in Pacific Coast lumber circles for the past twenty-five years, has just been named manager of the Washinton, D. C. offices of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, according toH.V' Simpson, executive vice president..

Luce is a native of the state of Washingtori where he grew up in the sawmill business, spending fifteen years in lumber manufacturing. For the past twelve years he has been in merchandising and field work, six years of the time in Washington, D. C. as representative of lumber groups. He will spend part of each month in the Association's New York office, Simpson stated.

Luce succeeds 'Joe Blunt, who served as Washington manager for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the past year and a half. Blunt had ,been with the Association since 1920 and retired because of his health.

LIGNIN

(From Dr. Egon Gleisinger's book "The Coming Age of Wood")

Much of America's favourite ice-cream flavour comes not from the essence of a tropical bean, but from the lignin of Wisconsin spruce and fir, converted into synthetic vanilla. Given this diverting piece of information, the consumer has every right to ask: What is lignin? With that, he joins the company o{ some of the world's most distinguished scientists, who have been plagued for years by this same question. They know that lignin constitutes from 20 to 30 per cent of all wood, but have yet to determine its exact chemical structure and properties. Most rvood chemists agree that lignin is a particularly rich substance and expect to find in it a major source for plastics and even synthetic gasoline. Yet, today, lignin is still nearly 100 per cent waste, and a nuisance besides.

Derived from lignum, the Latin word for wood, "lignin" means literally "wood substance." This designation might be challenged on the ground that there is about twice as much cellulose in n'ood as lignin. The name is justified, however, because it is lignin that differentiates trees from other cellulose plants, u'hich have very little lignin in their structural make-up.

Without lignin, trees could never grow several hundred feet tall, stand up against storms, and support heavy loads of snow. Binding together parallel bundles of cellulose fibres, lignin acts as nature's plastic and gives wood its stiffness, impact strength and resilience. Its action might be compared to that of the cement that surrounds and binds the iron rods in reinforced concrete. Nature itself thus suggests that we take lignin and use it as a binder for making cellulose plastics. IJnfortunately, this is more easily said than done. For the lignin commercially available today refuses to duplicate its performance in nature.

Lignin is believed to have another, more fascinating assignment in nature. When trees die, they are attacked by various microbes. These microbes attack and destroy only the cellulose fibres of wood, leaving the lignin. If this was as true in prehistoric times as it is today, then coal is not just wood, as is generally believed, but lignin fossilised by the action of heat, pressure and time. Chemical analysis tends to confirm this theory. Lignin's carbon content of 70 per cent is closer to that of coal than of whole wood. Again, nature suggests that we look into lignin for the riches we have extracted from coal, starting with aspirin and running to xylol. But, again, the genie of lignin is confined to the test tube.

Our trouble comes not only from our ignorance about lignin, but also from the methods by which we extract it from wood. Unlike cellulose, which grows free and pure in the cotton boll, there is no such thing as free lignin in nature. Lignin is found only in close bond u'ith cellulose. Chemists have never separated it from cellulose with its natural qualities intact. Just what these qualities are, they are not sure either, although they have made some careful deductions. It is pretty clear that natural lignin is colour-

NLMA lssues New Guide to lndustry Research

Washington, D. C.-A new and enlarged edition of the Forest Products Research Guide is now available, C' A. Rishell. Director of Research, National Lumber Manufac' turers Association announced.

The Guide, sponsored by the Committee on Products and Research of NLMA, has proved a valuable aid in the past to those interested in technical developments in wood and wood products. This Third Edition is twice as large as previous issues, containing over 8000 forest products research projects classified and referenced under more than 1000 types of research woik. Projects of 1400 domestic and 7N foreign agencies are included.

Of particular interest to many wood technologists will be the inclusion of many projects which were under military security classifications at the time that previous editions were issue'd. Reporting these wartime, confidential investigations has added materially to both the value and volume of the Guide.

An innovation is the addition of an index to agencies which provides a means for easily locating all of the investigations being undertaken by any one organization.

Price of the Third Edition of the Forest Products Research Guide is $5.0O per copy, including postage, anywhere in the United States and Canada. It is now available from National Lumber Manufacturers Association, 1319 18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.

less, possibly transparent. Its action in holding wood together indicates that it is stable, unaffected by moisture and normal temperatures, and elastic. Unhappily, lignin is very much degraded by the industrial pulping and woodsugar processes.

SanBernardino Hoo-Hoo Concat

The dinner and concatenation held at the Club Oaks, in Watterman Canyon, near San Bernardino, Thursday evening, May 27 was an enjoyable affair, and a large class of playful Kittens rvere inducted into the inner realms of Hoo-Hoo. Ken Barry, the Club's organist, presidecl at the piano and led the group in singing popular songs, and Al Bemis entertairred the gang by dancing a few fancy jigs.

There was a good delegation o{ "Old Cats" from Los Angeles in attendance, and John Stewart, vicegerent snark of the San Diego district, came up for the occasion.

After a fine steak dinner, the concatenation lvas held. The Nine included : Vicegerent Snark, John Stewart; Senior Hoo-I{oo, N. H. (Nate) Parsons i Junior Hoo-Hoo, Huntly Wark;Scrivenoter, Ed Martin;Bojum, Joe Tardy; Jabberwock, J. W. Fitzpatrick; Custocatian, Ed Suverkrupt ; Arcanoper, Jerry Essley; Gurdon, Stanton Srvafford. Roy Stanton, Supreme Junior Hoo-Hoo,'rvas the visiting officer and read the Code of Ethics to the Kittens. The short ritual was used.

Roy Stanton appointed the following committee, rvho will handle the arrangements for the organization of a Hoo.Hoo club: George W. Gibson, chairman; Thomas S. Chapin, secretary; Victor M. Olivas, Lloyd N. Braithwaite, Albert Bemis, Jr., Chester Nuckolls, and Merritt W. Morr.

J. W. Fitzpatrick then took over, saying it took money to start a Club, and he proceeded to levy a number of fines, collecting over $150 which was turned over to the organization committee.
