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.
