Down Payments Lowered on New Homes

Washington, June 9-The government today lowered down payment requirements for purchase of all new housing, :ffective Wednesday.

The changes were announced jointly by the Housing and IIome Finance administration and the Federal Reserve board. They apply to all types of residential housing from one-family homes to apartment units.

The two agencies made no change in credit terms affecting non-residential building, but they indicated that some modification is under consideration in that field, too.

The down payment requirements are set under the socalled regulation X, which is administergd by the Federal Reserve board.

No change was made in the time limit on payment of mortgages. On properties valued at $12,000 or less, the mortgage must be paid off in 25 years. On higher-priced homes, the limit is 20 years, except that veterans may get an extension in hardship cases.

Following are the old and new down payment requirements ot-r one-to-four family homes in I'arious price ranges for veterans and norr-veterans:

Ceihng Prices for Prcservatively Treated West Coast Fir and Hemloclc Lumber

New ceilings for preservatively treated Pacific Coast fir ancl hemlock lumber were anrlounced May 29 by the Office of Price Stabilizatton.

The ceilings are prescribed in Supplementary Regulation 102 to the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR), effective May 31.

They apply to all lumber under Ceiling Price Regulatiqn 128 (Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir, True Fir, and \\rest Coast Hemlock Lumber), when preservatively treated, irrespective of u here the treatment is performed.

CPR 128 spells out dollars-and-cents ceilings for untreated lumber cut from such species in California and in the parts of Oregon and Washington in and west of the Cascade rrrountains.

Wholesde Lunber and its Products

Preservative treatment increases the life of wooden materials exposed to decay and insects, such as those used in bridges and docks, up to as much as 10 times. Creosote is the most commonly used preservative. Salt preservatives consisting of certain chemicals dissolved in water or ammonia are also employed. Salt preservatives are also used to render lumber fire resistant.

The industry consist of about 122 plants, which treated 98,600,000 board feet of Douglas fir and 260p00 board feet of hemlock lumber in 1950. Normally the selling price for treated lumber is determined by adding a charge for treatment to the cost of the untreated lumber.

SALES

In these times, when men appointed to high Federal office are so frequently the storm centers of political controversy and they come and go at a rate seldom known before in our history, the experiences of George Washington as President, can be reviewed with much satisfaction.

justice would reverse or wisdom deplore." And no great act which his country would annul. Is it any wonder that this nation holds in utmost reverence the memory of such a leader?

"Oo..t the appointments made by the Father of his Country when he assumed his high office for the first time. He says: "V/ith the sure sagacity of a leader of men, he selected at once for the three highest stations the three chief Americans." It was the three top players on the first team that Washington called to his side when the fate of the young nation was plain$ at stake.

George William Curtis

Says Curtis: "Hamilton *", an" head, Jefier"or,'*", th" heart, and John Jay the conscience of his administration. Washington's just and serene ascendancy was the lambent flame in which these three beneficent powers were fused; and nothing else than that ascendency could have ridden the whirlwind and directed the storm that burst around him."

What happened to the ;*:, *"" and his three great lieutenants, Curtis tells in this way: "Party spirit blazed into fury. John Jay was hanged in effigy; Hamilton was stoned; insurrection raised its head in the West; Washington himself was denounced. But the great soul was undismayed. Without a beacon, without a chart, but with unwavering eye and steady hand, he guided his country safe through darkness and through storm.

"He held his steadfasa .^I",*tro. the sun across the firmament, giving life, and health, and strength to the new nation. And upon a searching survey of his administration, THERE IS NO GREAT ACTWHICH HIS COUNTRY WOULD ANNUL: NO WORD SPOKEN, NO LINE WRITTEN, NO DEED DONE BY HIM, wHrcH JUSTTCE WOULD REVERSE, OR WTSDOM DEPLORE."

{< :F

Read those last lines over again, and the conclusion will inevitably come, that seldom in the history of the great leaders of all time, has there lived a man concerning whom those words could be truthfully spoken. A nation that knew such leadership in the beginning has had planted ineradicably in its soul the elements of incomparable greatness, as has come to the United States. It was a heritage sublime. *rf

"No word spoken, no line written, no deed done which

And Curtis concludes: "To lead a people in revolution wisely and successfully, without ambition and without crime, demands indeed lofty genius and unbending virtue. But to build their state amid the angry conflict of passion and prejudice, to peacefully inaugurate a complete and satisfactory government-this is the very greatest service that a man can render to mankind. And this is also the glory of Washington."

And this ends one of the greatest testimonials ever written or uttered concerning an American. He was indeed the Father of his Country-and its inspiration.

It was Benjamin pr"rrtoil Jno orr, suggested the title "President of the United States" for the chief executive of this nation. He made the suggestion when the nation was just a-borning. And it was reported that the same gentleman, with a twinkle in his eye, suggested that the Vice President be called "His Most*Superfuous Highness."

The Purple Heart was created in a special order by General George Washington on August 7th, L782, and was to be a reward for "any singular meritorious action." At least, that's the way we recall the facts. After the Revolutionary War the order was forgotten, and was revived in 1932 by President Herbert lloover to designate a wounded combatant. The new order became effective on Washington's birthday, February 22nd,, oL that year.

Thomas Jefferson ""ia t 1'tl gain leisure, wealth must first be earned; but once leisure is gained, more people spend it in pursuit of pleasure than employ it in acquiring knowledge."

And Uncle Mose is crediting with saying: "Hit may be hahd fo' a rich man t'git into Hebin; but hit's a heap sight hahda fo' a po' man t'stay right heah on de yearth." **

A handfui of pine needles will cover mountains with the majesty of great forests. I, too, will set my face to the wind, and throw a handful of seed on high.-Fiona MacLeod' ,r ,c

Thomas Paine wrote: "When it shall be said of any country in the world: 'My pgor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress to be found among them; my jails are

empty of prisoners, Dy streets of beggars; the aged are not in want; the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend because I am a friend of its happiness,' -when these things can be said, then may that country boast of its constitution and its government."

**

Napoleon uttered one of the most controversial opinions concerning the value of leadership that history has any record of. Warriors and philosophers alike have been debating it ever since. He said that an army of sheep commanded by a lion could defeat an army of lions commanded by a sheep. The Emperor no doubt had himself in mind x'hen uttering that opinion.

**

A well informed man, talking on the cost of war, remarked the other day that eighty-five per cent of every Federal tax dollar goes to pay for just three things; the

cost of past wars; the interest on those debts; and the cost of present defense. Think of it. Eighty-five per cent of all those billions go to pay for war, and preparations against war. And all because mankind, striving for and praying for peace as the large majority of men do, have thus far failed to find it possible to live up to the philosophy of the old revival chant-"Ain't going to study war no more-"

* {<

War remains, of dire danger and necessity, one of our biggest and foremost studies. So we must work and pray that there shall come into being and into action, some international organization that will find ways to substitute the rul'e of law for the rule of force. ft would seem that only in this fashion can we hope eventually tolift the present destructive burden of war taxation from our people. And that that burden must be lightened is a fact that requires no master financier to demonstrate.

SHAKES ARE OPET-AIR DRIED

The wise builder knows thst

Jlqlure dries best o . o

There really isn't much of a trick to drying a pre-stained cedar shakeif you €ue willing to take the time and go to the trouble of doing the job right. Dozens of experiments have been tried in an efiort to ffnd a "quick" way to do the iob. Hot lights, hot air, and hot ideas of a dozen kinds have been tried. we at colonial cedar company have studied all of the short-cut suggestions, and we've found that nothing beats good old mother nature for drying shake stain.

So we just use mother nature.

We take the time to "hang Fitite Shakes out to dry" in the good old fresh air. Takes a lot of doing, a lot of storing, a lot of waiting; but it assures us that we are giving Fitite Shakes the best stain coverage in the business. Have you compared Fitite Shakes with the rest?

Now, when.piling loads, the driver of a Ross Fork Truck can hold the truck right where he wants it even on a grade, Automatic Brake Lock... another advanced-engineering feature of Ross Fork Trucks. .leaves the driver free to manipulate the load. Result? Faster piling, safer piling and neat, square piles... even on rough ground.

Ffere's how the Ross Automatic Brake Lock works: As the truck approaches.the pile, the driver flips an elecric switch. When truck is in desired position, he applies the foot brakes as usual. The brakes lock automatically and stay locked when he removes his foot from the brake pedal. This leaves him free to concentrate his attention on hoisting and tilting operations because the uuck cannot creep forward or backward. When ready to back away from the pile, he again flips the electric switch, unlocking the brakes and returning them to normal foot-pedal operation.

Think of tbe time this Ross feature can save for you! It's another of a long list of features developed and pioneered by ROSS. Remember, look to ROSS lrsr for the latest!

cosls qnd you'll choose sheothing

What goes undcr the roof may determine the true cost of the marerial you select for roofing. The roof deck, if it must be solid sheathing in order to support the covering material, will cost about twice as much as spaced sheathing recommended for red cedar shingles.

You see, cedar shingles, because of their natural strength and rigidity, "bridge the gap" between spaced sheathing boards. Wood shingles constitute the only forrn of roof covering that actually adds to the strength of the roof section. You'll find, if you figure your costs accurately, that the saving you can make by using spaced sheathing with Cerbigrade red cedar shingles, wiII mote than make up for the slight premium you may occasionally have $o pay for the extraquality, extra beautyand longlifeyoualways get whenyou build withcedar.

flomes roofed with red cedar shingles look finer, sell faster . give the builder a better reputation, more customer satisfaction. Savings on spaced sheathing make roofs of cedar economical, too.

In a rapidly growing community into which new residents we:'e frequently arriving, a unique welcoming committee was organized. ft consisted of a Protestant Minister, a Cathoiic Priest, and a Jewish Rabbi. When they heard of a new family moving in, the three got together and went to make a welcoming call. This proved to be a most successful committee, the three being splendid gentlemen who delighted in this companionable arrangement. Their effort had continued for some time when one day they went to call on a new family that had moved into a very nice new home.

Local Chapter of RRCC Formed at Cloverdale

Cloverdale, May 29-Another local chapter of the Redwood Region Conservation Council was fornred here May 20 with the organization of Sonoma Redwood Circle No. 1.

The rneeting featured an address by Walker 13. Tilley, forester for the Masonite Corporation who outlined the progress of forestry conservation and the tree farm program. /

Norman B. Livermore, Jr. was elected chairman of the Circle. Other officers elected were John Rhoda, secretary, and A. E. Galli, treasurer.

Tilley drew an analogy between the forest manager and the farmer. He said that the purpose of intensive forest management is to keep forest land productive and growing a new crop the year round. The farmer, on the other hand, is able to use the land only a portion of the year to grow mosr annual crops.

Industry, he said, is becoming more and nrore conscious of the necessity of perpetuating its source of supply if it is to survive. He said that people are often misled by the appearance of a forest area immediately after logging because of the nrethods ncrw necessary in harvesting the crop. How-ever, after a short space of time, new trees begin to grow if an adequate seed source is left after logging to allow nature to produce a new crop.

In one of its first actions, the circle passed a resolution to memorialize the Redwood Regir_rn Lc.gging Conference to hold its 1953 meeting at Cloverdale.

The group decided that fire prevention would be its first major project and Wayne Hulbert was appointed Keep Green chairman.

Crescent Plywood Co. Employees Aid High School Band

The employees of the Crescent Plywood Co. went all out on buying tickets for a musicale last month at Klamath, Calif., n,hich headlined the Del Norte High School band, directecl by Dave Silva. The 120 mill employees purchased 133 tickets so that the band might have uniforms.

The program was spark-plugged by George Evans. rvifh Steve Michaels, mill manager, seconding the program. The idea began when one of the youngsters came home and explained the purpose of the musicale. The band is composed of teen-agers from all parts of Del Norte county.

Washington, D.C.-The 50th Anniversary meeting of tirc National Lumber Manufacturers Association opened May 8 in the Jefferson Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri. Presiding was John B. Veach, president of the Association and president, Ilardwood Corporatior-r of America, Asheville, N.C.

Thursday Session

At the morning session, Veach told the 250-300 lumbermen that their Association has helped in the fight against inflatiorr-that the industry can take pride in having produced an abundance of lumber for all purposes, domestic and defense. He said the Association is mindful of public relations vaJues and is wor!<ing hard to create public understanding of the industry; that well-directed effort has been made and will continue to be made to safeguard and broaden markets through product development, improved manufacturing methods and tretter designed equipment. He added that the Association rnaintains a '.,igilant watch over building codes throughout the lj.S. to guard against unnecessary restrictions on the use of wood for construction purposes-and aggressively conducted research programs under way must be expanded.

In commenting upon future prospects, Veach stated, "if increase in tree growing continues through the next 10 or 15 years, and there is every reason to assume that it will, and if the per capita consumption of lumber continues to decline. we will have trees running out our ears. I certainly am

Third

not w'orried for the future as to the availability of raw material, but I am worried about our markets." As a solrrtion to this problem Veach said the industry must do a better job of selling, and proposed schools for lumber salesmen to teach basic properties of wood, elementary engineering in wood, and modern sales techniques. Veach also stressed the importance of rescarch and product development as an avenue to more sales and cited as illustration the worl< of the Timber L,ngineering Company of Washington, D.C., which maintains a patent pool of both foreign and U.S. patents and trade marks, and compiles information relative to methods of construction and wood chemistry for the benefit of the lumber industry. He prophesied that in another 20 years "501o oi our production lvill be products we do not now manufacture."

A forestry session was held in the afternoon at which some of the nation's top lumber industry leaders summarized thc accomplishments and progress in private, state and federal forestry during the past fifty years.

Chairman of the session was Hillman Lueddemann, president of West Coast Lumberman's Association and vice president, Pope & Talbot, Inc., Portland, Oregon. The lead-olT speaker, N. F. McGovr'in, president, W. T. Smith Lumber Company, Chapman, Alabama, traced operations of tlre lumber industry in the South from the early days to present day

tree farms and gearing of harvest operations to forest growth. Of his own company, he said "many years ago we established a program of cutting which has never been changed. That method is a pure selective cut which removes only the defective and crowded trees and leaves the best trees of all sizes standing as a growing stock. Within the economic limits possible, cutting practices are designed to keep the timbered area continuously productive and as far as possible increase the volume and improve the quality of the stand. At each of the last fifteen annual meetings of our company I have been able to say to our stockholders that 'you now own more timber than you dicl last year.'"

Speaking cn private forestry in the Pacific Northwest, J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma, Washington, said "forestry is essentially a development which must be based upon a sound economic background. Slowly but surely this necessary evolution has taken place." Weyerhaeuser concluded by saying that the industry has emerged from the early exploitive days when vast virgin forests were available at little or no cost to a new dynamic era of timber growing. He said the national economic scene has changed, that today conservative harvests, reforestation and close utilization are profitable investments, whereas fifty years ago they were merely impractical theories.

He called 1'or gradual reduction of federal aids and less emphasis on statutory measures to achieve sound management, with more emphasis on the economics of timber growing and a re-evaluation of the desirable balance in resource ownership.

Progress in forestry of the Lake States and the Northeast ra'as set forth in a speech by Ernest Broderick, secretary, Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association, New York City, for Rand N. Stowell, Timberland, Inc., Dixfield, Maine, president of the Association. The state forestry picture was presented by Fred Lang, state forester of Arkansas and president of the Association of State Foresters. Federal forestry progress over the past fifty years was brought out by Richard McArdle, assistant chief of the U.S. Forest Service, Washington, D.C.

Taking "A Look Ahead" at forestry, Col. W. B. Greeley, vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Portland, Oregon, stated that "in the crystal ball it is not difficult to glimpse for the future many encouraging pictures of the lumber business'as part of a more closely knit forest industry. Perhaps the greatest promise of all for the industry lies in continued progress in wood technology and the integrated utilization of timber. Thats has been the most sig-

Lumber Co., Spokane, Washington, accented the human element-the logger and the changes in his working conditions. He said that "the logger of 1952 is still a tough gent and a hard worker" but "he no longer sleeps in a bare bunkroom or carries his blankets-msdsln logging camps are clean and sanitary." W. R. Warner, president, Southern Lumber Co., Warren, Ark., told of vast changes in logging operatiohs throughout the South, of modern logging methods now an integral part of Southern lumber operations. A. E. Swanke, manager, Tigerton Lumber Co., Tigerton, Wisc., on hardwood logging, said "progress in transportation represents one of the most significant and dramatic changes in logging" and described mechanical developments within the hardwood industry. ,He was followed by E. Oswald Lightsey, president, Lightsey Brothers, Miley, S.C., who talked on lumber manufacturing progress in the South-about the mechanized programs undertaken by Southern mills in the interest of manufacturing efficiency. Lightsey said "the Southern mills, with the steadily-growir-rg practice of improving operations of both men and machinery, can only result in a better showing on the credit side of the ledger."

nificant development in forest industry since World War II. Every year we see more integration in the manufacture of forest products at correlated plants under tl.re same management. There seems almost no limit to the skill of wood technologists and industrial engineers in devising new processes and new products from lvood. The more dollars they put back on the stump of the tree, the greater becomes the incentive for commercial forestry. The best assrtrance the tinite<l States has today that forestry has become a permanent part of its economy is that for every acre of forest land we have, in all ownerships and all conditions of growth, sornething over $15 has been invested in manufacturing enterprises for converting and processing wood."

Friday Session

On May 9, the second day of the meeting, continued the basic theme of recounting industry progress over the last hal f-century.

At an impressive anniversary dinner helcl the night before, over 200 lumbermen and their wives in attendance participated in a ceremony honoring past presidents ancl rxanagers of the Association. Winthrop M. Hallett, Jr., president of the Southern Hardwood Producers, Inc., and president of the Hallett Manufacturing Co., Mobile, Ala., chairmanned the event with Stanley Horn, editor of "The Southern Lumberman," Nashville, Tenn., serving as toastr.naster. NLMA President John B. Veach, on behalf of the Association, presented handsome bronze and walnut plaques to the presidents and managers. On hand to receive an award were: Walter B. Nettleton, J. G. McNary, M. L. Fleishel, C. Arthur Bruce, H. M. Seaman, Royal KellogC, R. A. Colgan, Jr., and Wilson Compton. Similar plaques will be sent to the recipients unable to attend.

During the first part of the morning session on May 9th, the lumbermen heard a number of speakers tell of progress in lumber production. Chairman of the session was J. R. Remis, president, Southern Pine Association and president, Ozan Lumber Co., Prescott, Ark Speaking on logging progress made in the West, E. C. Olson, president, E. C. Olson

Lumber manufacturing progress in the West was the subject of a speech by J. F. Coleman, president, Kinzua Irine Mills Co., Kinzua, Ore., which was read by Homer Jamison, Byles-Jamison, Fresno, Calif. He said "the hallmarks of our industry"fifty years ago were strength, courage, and a venturesome spirit" and pointed out where those selfsame characteristics combined with modern machinery and methods, had enabled the industry in recent years, to produce lumber in record proportions.

E. C. Johnson, J. A. Buntley Lumber Co., Zimmerman, La.,read a speech prepared by W. T. Murray, former chairman, NLMA Committee on Lumber Standards, who passed away just prior to the start of the meeting. Mr. Murray had written, "I am convinced that as long as our industry meets its responsibilities to the public as it has in tl-re past, no one will ever question its right to self-government in relation to the maintenance of manufacturing and grading standards."

Another portion of the morning session dealt with progress in lumber products. Milton Craft, president, Chapman Deu'ey Lumber Co., Memphis, Tenn., spoke on fifty years of progress in flooring, vehicle material, and containers. He traced the history of flooring from medieval days to the present time and pointed out changes and new developments that have taken place in vehicle materials and containers. Advancements in mechanical fasteners, adhesives and wood treatments were set forth by Leonard G. Carpenter, vice president, McCloud Lumber Co., Minneapolis, Minn. Carpenter paid tribute to the Timber Engineering Co., Washington, D. C., for its research and sales promotion in the fields of fasteners, adhesives and wood treatments. The tremendous growth of engineered wood .construction was related by Ward Mayer, president, Timber Structures, Inc., Portland, Ore. He accentuated the tremendous markets for lumber made possible through the application of wood engineering principles. C. D. Dosker, president, Gamble Brothers, Inc., Louisville, Ky., dealt with progress in development of srnall dimension and furniture products. Dosker said, "the dimension industry rnay justly be called the 'market microscope' of the hardwood industry. This, he pointed out, is due to the fact that the industry is so closely in contact with changes in styles, requirements, thinking habits of those who convert hardwoods into finished products.

The afterrioon session was devoted to new products from wood and progress in distribution.

Carl Rasmussen of the Western Pine Association, Portland, Ore., spoke on "New Horizons Through Wood Research." Rasmussen told of the research and developrnental work conducted by the Western Pine laboratory over the past 29 years. He called upon the lumbermen to consicler the work being done by competitors and to instigate increased research programs within the industry.

Chester B. Stem, of Chester B. Stern, Inc., New Albany, fnd., presented a talk for Luther O. Griffith, Griffith Lurnber Co., Huntington, W. Va., on chernistry's role in wood products. Stem pointed out that "wood chemistry's cornbined applications to both cellulose and lignin are solving waste disposal problems are carrying wood utilization forward at a faster and rnbre profitable pace than was anticipated back when the worried industry first called on confident and competent research." Omar Hilton, vice president, Bradley Lurnber Co., Warren, Ark., speaking on research in hardwood products said "I have seen enough to be convinced that any industry, or member thereof, ignoring science, belittling research, and dogmatically clinging to old established practices definitely is on the way to the industrial graveyard." He called upon the inCustry to give full support to research. "Wanted

E. W. Ccnklin, president, National American Wholesale l-umber Association, brought the lumbermen up to date on progress made in lumber wholesaling, and B. C. Vamer, presiclent, National Association of Commission Lumber Salesmen, presented the story behind advancements made by lumber salesmen. Clyde Fulton, president, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, was olt hand to trace the great strides made by the retail lumber dealers. Adam Treieschmann, Crossett-Watzek-Gates, Inc., Chicago, I11., spoke on the manufacturers progress in distribution; Ben Springer, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, secretary of the Concatenated Orcier of lfoo-Hoo, told of the unifying efforts by Hoo-Hoo, and work accomplished for the industry over the years on distribution problerns.

Early in 1949 Mr. Noah was appointed manager of the buying office of Pope & Talbot, Inc. in Cloverdale. This office was closed in 1949, and Howard then operated his own business in Cloverdale as mill representative and commission salesman for several mills. From August 1950 for about a year he was manager of the buying office of Russ Castell & Associates. He managed the wholesale lumber office of Paskill Lumber Co. of Portland at Fortuna, Calif., from July 1951 until April of this year when he accepted his present position.

E. A. Padula Lumber Co., whose full page ad appears elsewhere in this issue,-opened its'San Francisco sales office April 1, 1952. The offices are located in the Monadnock Ruil<ling, 681 M;,rket Street.

Elmer Padula first started in the lumber business in Los Angeles in 1944 as one of the principals in the R. & E. Lumber Co. His company acquired a small sawmill in Laytonville, Calif. It was here that he really got to know the lumber business. They sold this mill in 1947 and bought a larger mill in Willits, Calif., known as The Pacific Slope Lumber Co. Elmer moved to Willits and operated this mill for the next four years. The Willits mill had a daily capacity o{ 125,000 feet.

Mr. Padula sold his interest in the R. & E. Lumber Co. in Los Angeles, and when the Pacific Slope Lumber Co. was solcl to the Ridgewood Lumber Company in 1950, decided to stay in the lumber business in Willits, and opened his own rvholesale firm under the name of E. A. Padula Lumber Co. He. has acquired large timber holdings in Mendocino County, and feels that the lumber business in Northern California ofiers a fine opportunity. He is a member of the International Crder of Hoo-Hoo, is active in the local Elks, Lions, and Moose Clubs.

i Before entering the lumber business Mr. Padula owned and operated olive ranches and processing plants in Southern California, and the San Joaquin Valley.

46 Million Tree Crop

Nisqually, WashingtonHow many people have ever counted to 40,000,000? Not many, but the keen-eyed girl inspectors at the Forest Industries Tree Nursery here will tell you that's lots of numbers and for them, lots of trees.

Sometime this r,veek the 4o,000,000th seedling tree will roll along the sorting belt, past alert girl inspectors to be counted by the photoelectric eye mechanism which tumbles every 50 trees into a rvrapping hopper.

Since the founding of this tree nursery by the private forest landowners back in I94l ten big crops of seedling forest trees have been raised. Lifting of the current crop is now in progress and will continue until April. After the 40 millionth tree has been packed and shipped to some landowner in r.vestern Oregon or Washington, another 6,000,000 trees will be lifted and shipped this year.

This 46 million tree crop will have planted 82,000 acres of idle forest land, according to N. E. Bjorklund, nnrserv manager.

"These trees will cover 130 square miles," Bjorklund pointed out, "or an area a mile u,ide from Portlancl to Cottage Grove south, or north from Portland to Olympia."

Trees from the non-profit forest nursery have been planted on taxpaying forest lands throughout 'ivestern Washington and Oregon, Bjorklund stated. Douglas fir makes up the bulk of trees grou'n here, the forester said, but hemlock, cedar and spruce have been grown in limited numbers ir.nd even a ferv rare dalvn redwood trees from seeds brought in from China rvere carefully tended as an experiment.

fn an effort to raise a superior race of trees, extreme care is taken to make certain that seeds are picked only from selected trees and seedlings returned to the district and clevation rvhere the parent trees greu'.

Surplus Sales Ycrrd cr Success

On October l, 1951, lfomer T. Hayward Lumber Co. opened a yard at Seaside, Calif., called Surplus Sales. The object was to concentrate all the "cats ancl dogs" and ofier thern for sale at a reduced price. The results were very satisfying, because after cleaning up odds and ends in their own yards they were able to do the same for some of their competitors, and for some wholesalers. At this yard a stock of No. 3 and No. 4 lurnber is also carried.

The Help Situation

A Boston man was talking about trying to hire a secretary. "You don't ask them questions any more," he said. ".They ask you. They ask you so many questions about salary, vacations, rest periods, holidays, and what not, thqt you never guite get to asking them just what it is they plan to give in exchange for all they want. I'm giving up trying to hire young women. I'm looking for widows and wives who have some realization of the facts of life and know there is such a thing as work."

Ted Hailes sent on a Robert Ruark column which told about the trial's of a man in New York who has had the same sort of experience down there. This man finds youngsters asking about the provisions for retirement, the pension plan, the knock-off age, etc.

To sort of balance them we have the testimony of another employer who complains humorously that he hired some chaps to take the load off his shoulders only to find that they are running him and his general manager ragged. "They are almost killing us, trying to keep up with them. One of them is a dynamo and can come up with more questions than a quiz program. The other is just as fast, but not quite so insistent. They certainly have brought lots of new life into the place."

So you see there are youngsters who have the good old fighting stuff in them, and are more concerned with growth and progress than they are in security. Bob Ruark says: "f can tell you whom I wouldnrt hire. I wouldn't hire the young fellow who asked me about pension plans, or the fellow who admitted he couldn't fill the boss' shoes. Gimme the young guy who would look speculatively at my desk and mutter to himself : 'Two years, maybe three, and I'll have that bum out of there."'-(From The Wright Line.)

"Children, Liza?"

"Yessum, three boys."

"Do they all have work?"

"Yes'm. One's a lawyer in Knoxville, one's a lawyer in Nashville, and one's a professor."

"A professor?"

"Yessum," and she named the university. , "How in the world did you ever do it, Liza?"

"Oh, f jes' took in washin'."

Too Fcrst For Him

"Great American Sports llumor" tells this one.

Clem McCarthy famous for his "r-r-racing fans" broadcasts, at times employs his colorful rapid-fire delivery to describe the drama in other fields of sports. Once he was broadcasting a heavywelght championship fight in which Max Baer was one of the contestants. The well-chosen words were thundering out of McCarthy's mouth with the speed of a machine-gun. Suddenly Max Baer sparred his way over to the ropes, leaned over and yelled down to the veteran sports announcer:

"Hey, Clem, take it easy. I can't keep up with you."

Wcsting Days Wisely

Thomas Dreier wrote: "To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face, to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the Ultimate Purpose toward which f am working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever wooes sleep and the joy that comes from work well done-that is how I desire to wisely waste my days."

When Grant Met Lee ct Appomcttox

The report made by General U. S. Grant of his meeting with General R. E. Lee, at Appomattox, where Lee surrendered, was a highly interesting one. Grant had not expected the meeting to take place so soon, and he was roughly dressed, wearing the uniform of a common soldier, with only his shoulder straps to show his rank and army. He described Lee as wearing a verJ attractive and new-looking uniform, and carrying a very beautiful sword. Grant described Lee as "handsornely dressed, six feet high, and faultless form." He said in his report that they just sat down informally and went to talking about old times when they knew each other in the old army before the war. Said Grant, "Our conversation grew so pleasant that I almost forgot the object of our meeting." Finally it was Lee who reminded Grant of the object of their meeting.

Grant says he took pen and paper and wrote the terms of surrender, using his own words informally. He included in the terms that the Southern officers could keep their own horses and effects, and that they could keep their sidearms. When Lee read the paper Grant had written he expressed thanks for that part covering horses, effects, and side-arms, and said he thought it would have a happy effect on his men. "The much-talked-of surrendering of Lee's sword and my handing it back," said General Grant, "this and much more that has been said about it, is the purest romance. Lee and I separated as cordially as we had met, he returning to his own line; and all went into bivouac for the night at Appomattox."

SISALKRAFT and concrete go together... so whenever you sell cement . . €ven a bag or two . SELL SISALKRAFT, too! Why?. because SISALKRAFT makes concrete better. Suggest these steps to your custorners (r) Cover the 6ll with SISALKRAFT before pouring concrete; (2) Pour concrete directly on the SISALKRAFT; (3) After concrete slab is "set," cover it with SISALKRAFT to protect and cure it properly.

Tough, waterproof windproof SISALKRAFT and most building materials go together! \Thenever you sell any construction materials, suggest SISALKRAFT, too for protection.

Barney Garcia ls Traffic Manager and Consultant For Many Lumber Mills and Wholesalers

B. R. Garcia of the traffic service which bears his narne, has for twenty-six years been identified with lumber circles on the West Coast. As traffic manager and consultant for many well-known and established mills and wholesalers in California and Oregon, he maintains an offrce and staff in San Francisco's Monadnock Building. In addition to the lumber firms, he acts as traffic manager for representatives of the box shook and related industries in the West. He is a former director of the San Francisco Lurnbermen's Club.

As we all know frorn experience, with each succeeding year the rules and regulatiops,governing rail and truck shipments and the manner of their publication have become more technical and complicated. Public carriers are confronted with the problems of the thousand and one commodities shipped and do not have the time or personnel to specialize in the transportation problems peculiar to one industry. It is. N{r. Garcia's belief that a need for specialization in lurnber traffic has developed, and it is this ever-growing need that the Il. R. Garcia Traffic Service is endeavoring to fill.

How the Organization Operates

When questioned as to how his organizatior.r operates, Barney state<l that he has attempted to revolutionize the industrial traffic manager set-up by integrating his office with that of his client. "Our office is actually his office as far as all details of transportation are concerned." Clients derive the benefit of a fully experienced traffic department at a nolninal fee compared to the cost of maintaining such a departrnent within their own organizatrons. Isolated mills in Northern California and Oregon have available through teletype and telephone exactly the same service as those clients in n-retropolitan areis.

Mr. Garcia, who gained his initial experience by working for the Southern Pacific Company and the Union Pacific Railroad for several years both in San Francisco and in the San Joaquin Valley, stated that complete traffic service includes quotation of rail and truck rates; routing, tracing, expediting, diverting shipments; filing claims, overcharge and loss and damage; audit of freight bills; handling transit problems; rate studies and applications for rate adjustments.

Trucking Has Changed California Lumber Picture

As a man who knows the history of the lumber rate structure and daily works with rates which he helped to create, Barney points out how trucking has changed the lumber picture in California. "We find today that our service is being utilized to a greater extent for truck shipments than it has in the past rvhen our activities were confined almost e-xclusively to rail transportation. Records show that in the last twelve years the total revenue accruing to truck operators in California has increased many times over."

He feels that all shippers who use truckers should be warned that in many casc's they are taking the word of the trucker as to the best possible legal rate and it has been his experience on recheck that these charges in the majority of cases are rnuch higher than should have been assessed. On the other hand, a number of truckers are quoting rates lower than can be legally substantiated in order to win highly competitive business. In the latter cases, long after the movement, the attention of truckers is called to these charges which are below PUC minimum scale and the trucker is ordered to collect amounts that are often large and for which shipper is liable months or years after settlement has been made with his customer.

Mr. and Mrs. John Sterling are the proud parents of a baby boy, Robert Douglas, born at the California Hospital in Los Angeles on June 4. Mrs. Sterling is the daugl-rter of Joe Matlick, well known Los Angeles lumberman who is r'vith C. P. Henry & Co., Los Angeles. This makes Joe a granddaddy for the first time, and he is enjoying it very much.

Of interest to those pianning to build or remodel home or office is a lGpage booklet issued by Associated Plywood Mills, Inc., Eugene, Oregon, describing the company's new decorative plywood, Sea Swirl.

Said to be light, durable, splinter-proof, and easy to apply, Sea Swirl is prepared by a special rnanufacturing process which removes the soft growth from highest quality Douglas Fir. The resulting surface gives a distinctive three-dirnensional effect, with natural grain patterns of the wood forming pleasing swirls and contours. Sol in standard 4' x 8' panels, 5/16" thick, for both interior and exterior use, Sea Swirl is also available in other sizes on special order.

The booklet describes various Sea Swirl applications for walls, furniture, ceilings, and built-ins, with accompanying full color drawings. Various color effects also are show-n. The wood may be used in natural tones, metallic finishes, or in a wide variety of pastel colors. Color effects are said to be limited only by the decorative desires of the individuai builder.

Copies of the booklet may be obtained by writing Associated Plywood Mills, Inc., P. O. Box 672, Eugene, Oregon.

Ceiling Prices

, (Continued from Page 4)

The GCPR froze individual sellers' prices for treated products at the liighest levels they obtained from December 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951. Ceiling prices for the untreated lumber similarly were established under GCPR. Thus treaters were able under GCPR to obtain their customary return for treating.

The ceilings spelled out in CPR 128, issued March 13, 1952, were approximate averages of GCPR prices. I{owever, certain lumber items which are normally treated before use were raised above the GCPR average. Hence, treaters whose suppliers' ceilings under GCPR were below average have experienced a squeeze when obliged to pay CPR 128 ceilings for tl-reir rarv materials.

The new supplementary regulation provides relief in such instances and restores with certain limitations normal pricing practices.

It provides that treaters establish new ceilings by adjusting their GCPR ceilings, plus or minus, to reflect difierences in the cost to them of untreated lumber under CPR 128. They do this by applying to their GCPR ceilings the differences between their current purchase costs which may not exceed spelled out ceilings under CPR 128 and the highest prices at which they contracted to purchase the untreated items during the period January 25 to February 24,1951.

This provision is substantially the same as that used by treaters in rletermining their ceilings on products covered by CPR 126 (C.eiling Prices for Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir and Ponclerosa Pine Poles and Piling).

Since the supplementary regulation will result in both upward and dovrnward adjustments of ceilings, it is not expected appreciably to affect the level of prices for preservatively treated fir and hemlock lumber.

Adjustments to reflect the increased weight of treated lumber are set forth in the new supplementary regulation to be applied to ihe established weights prescribed in CPR 128. llstablished rveights are used in computing delivery charges when sales are on a delivered basis.

Getting The Most Out Of the Remodeling Market

For years there has been a trend in the remodeling market towards creating additional living space in crowded homes. Families need more bedrooms and recreation space. Consequently, lumber dealers and contractors are being asked just how such living space can be created in an older home.

The ansu'er is simple. Usually the attic is the best place for living expansion, but, there are also porches which can be closed in and basements rvhich can be made into beautiful and practical rooms by the magic touch of a good remodeling job. Often in remodeling, one large room can be divided to make trvo attractive rooms.

Every homeorvner has a little of the "knou'-hou"' himself and many of them find that such remodeling is easv if they get some good advice frorn their lumber dealer. Often the dealer is asked to recommend a contractor for the entire job and almost always he is asked to supplv the name of a heating contractor or an electrician.

Thus, if the dealer is prepared rvith several sets of plans zind some ::ttractive remodeling literature, he can usually land himself some good-size orders from remodeling rvork, merely by ;,iding the homeorvner in planning the impror.ement or recommending a method of procedure.

These sales are not limited to u'allboards, lumber, and rrails since new rooms require bright nerv harclrvare, glass, paint, flooring, doors, and often insulation, rvhich all runs into a pretty sizable order. Manv experienced lunrber dealers are finding that prospects are afraid to proceed n'ith the 'w.ork l>ecause of the overall cost and so a monthlv payment plan is computed l>efore the bid is ever presented to the prospect.

The trvo pictures above dramatically shoq' hou' an attic rvas changed into a children"s playroom ancl bedroom bv the use of Nu-Wood insulation board, plank, and tile.

The homeolvner chose to create the effect of the lines of a circus tent in keeping .lvith the room theme. A u'indorv

seat in the dormer recess provided extra storage space for toys.

The circus motif is furthered by the use of a scalloped border made of Tuff-Wood. Painted, cut-out letters of the same harcl-board carry out the "show" effect. The bed spaces u'ere designed to resemble a menagerie, using one incl.r u'ood dou'els, and each "cage" was personalized with the child's name. The black linoleum floor rvith the large circus ring added the final decorative touch.

This is just one of many of the remodeled rooms that can be created in a home with a little ingenuity, and the cooperation of lumber dealer and homeowner. "Are you getting your share of the profits available in the remodeling m:rrket ?"

Hecring on Use oI Term "Mcrhogcny" June 30

The Federal Trade Commission has extended an invitation to all interested persons and representatives of groups and organizations to attend and take part in public hearing to be held under the Commission's auspices on the subject of proper nse of the lvord "Mahogany" in descriptive designations and representations of wood and .ivood products. The hearing u'ill be convened at 1O:@ a.m., on June 30, 1952, in Room 332, Federal Trade Commission Building, \\-ashington, D. C.

The hearing is to be held as part of a re-examination of the general subject which the Commission is undertaking and which \\,as prompted by the recurrence of complaints received by the Commission from time to time based upon the alleged misuse of the term "Mahogany" for various in.rported u'oods.

Hawk Huey, Phoenix, Ariz., wholesale lumberman, spent the cast six weeks in the hospital but expects to be back on the job in three or four rveeks. During his absence, George Funk, his salesman, is looking after the business.

Certificater of Award for \finners ln 1952 Publ:c Relations Contest

Certificates of Award are being prepared for the 10 National and 78 State winners of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's 1952 Public Relations Contest, according to Clyde A. Fulton, president. In addition, 9 other concerns have been named for honorable mention by the six trade press editors who judged the contest.

The companies that will receive the ten equal National Awards are the Beaver Dam Manufacturing and Supply Company, Beaver Dam, Kentucky; Clover Leaf Lumber Company, Edgar, Wisconsin; Kaercher Lumber Company, Ortonville, Minnesota; Dain Supply Company, Inc., Mahopac, New York; Charlottesville Lumber Company, Inc., Charlottesville, Virginia; Temple Lumber Company, Kerrville, Texas; Edward Hines Lumber Company, Chicago, Illinois; The A. W. Burritt Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut; Armstrong Brothers Lumber Company, San Angelo, Texas; and Pocatello Lumber Company, Pocatello, Idaho.

Dealers ftom 37 states submitted a total of 139 entries, illustrating the wide variety of public relations activities in which it is possible for retail lumbermen to engage. Support of worthwhile community projects and civic drives and the donation of lumber scraps to youth groups for hobby purposes were among the P. R. program that won recognition by the judges.

One company among those achieving the equal National Awards promotes an annual treasure hunt and picnic for local children. Another offers annual cash prizes to promising architectural students at the state university who compete in solving some particular construction problem.

The purchase by a lumber dealer of an industrial site with the standing offer to make it available to an industry that would locate in the community and employ at least fifteen persons won a top award, as did another dealer's development of a plan for low- cost housing that could be privately constructed.

Assistance in the emergency "wooden lung" program, sponsoring and appropriately rewarding 4-H club efforts, cooperating with local churches, giving talks to interested groups on the progress and place of the retail lumber and building materials industry, donating lumber literature to school and public libraries, participating in various betterbuilding promotions, and many other civic-minded activi-

ties of both the dealers and their employees were reported by the Contest winners.

Because of the success of the 1952 contest in arousing - real interest in public relations work among dealers throughout the country, NRLDA is now making plans to sponsor a similar comoetition in 1953.

How Lumber Loolcs

(Continued from Page 2)

These same mills for the week ended May 31 reported orders as 97,984,W feet, shipments 118,646,000 feet, and production 110,529,000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the rveek totaled 487,803,000 feet.

Coastwise lumber shipments are not affected by the strike of the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific which started on May 24 as the operators have a separate steam schooner agreement with the unions. Ships carrying intercoastal lumber shipments, which have Pacific Coast union agreements, are tied up.

Title I, FIIA Improvement Locns

John E. McGovern, director of the Los Angeles office of the Federal Housing Administration, states that every home needs repairs and occasional improvements to keep it in good condition. If financing is required to make necessary repairs, it may be possible through an FHA Insured Property fmprovement loan to obtain sufficient funds to pay for the entire repair cost. The terms of repayment of the loan are reasonable and convenient.

Any one who owns a home, or has a lease on the property or a contract to purchase it, is eligible for a Title I, FHA Improvement loan. Full information about these insured loans is available from FHA qualified lending institutions. A 'r,r,'ord of caution: Do not sign any sales contract for an FHA Insured Title I Improvement loan, unless you own, or have a lease, or a contra.ct to purchase a home that is completely finished.

Out o[ the \(/oods

Bv Jim Stevens

Poet's Gold.

The other day a letter from Jean Thibault of Adelanto, California, came to me marked "Refertince your letter Oct. L,1925, to J. Isadore Thibault." The latter rvas a horse logger I'd worked with in 1914 and 1916 on big wheels of the McCloud River Lumber Company, southward of Mt. Shasta. "Frenchy" Thibault was a poet who composed lyrics on subjects of nature in the French style of Chateaubriand-he said. I, myself, rvas rvriting like Kipling and KeatsI thought.

Anyhow, life u'as very rvonderful for us both because o{ poetry. Each of us had lived from first memory in the worst of poverty. Up in the pine u'oods we lvere chasing the big wheels ten hours a day for 271 cents per hour, six days a week. But rve had poet's gold. It enriched our lives as physical gold can never do.

The letter fror.n lirenchy's son, Jean, a school principal, told of the peaceful passing of mv poetical friend of long ago. And then, by the kind of coincidence that gives one to rvonder, the mail brought a copy of a modest nerv book of poems by Van Boling, poems that might rvell be described by an old term, "adventures in cotrtentment." But the title is simply "Fireside," for a poem that sings like this:

"Deep in my old armchair Here by the fire alone, Watching the cheery flare, Cozy u'orld of my own."

fancies and meditations, on the final verse-

"Here let me grandlv dream, Here let my ego shine; Here life and love supreme, One little realtn, all mine."

Much thesemore of the kind, and manv strong, hard lines, "He lived by no accepted rtlle, All charity u,as laid aside. Gave honesty to ridicule, And vet on'ned half the countryside.

The casket with its silent dust

Cast shadow whollY unbenign; It seemed that'clay brought vague distrust

To those rvho'd best known Ansel Trine'"

Van Boling has worked for Simpson Logging Company for many years, and his nerv rvork is dedicated "to Simpson's, to whom so many owe so much." It is a prime book of verse in its humor and the rugged stuff of the timber, beside its more serious poetry. Van lives at Elma, Washington. Write him there if you would know more about his book, and about a man who has found riches of life in the ancient poetic art.

Solong...

But again Frenchy haunts my mind and mood.

Jean Thibault writes, "I hope that his eternity may be spent looking out across the grand vistas afforded by 'the timber cotlntry at McCloud' that you and he knew together in youth, and of which you spoke in your letter. He alrvays loved that country. In his last years, when one or another of us would come across a piece of yours, we would take it to him and the eyes of the old man sitting there rvould become the clear shining blue of a youth reliving the 'many brave times' of the lumberjack. I trust you still inhabit the timber countrY."

Yes, Jean, I do. With memories, dreams and poetry, by the fire in the boom-pond shack as rain drums the old shakes above and the wind whines around.

So I remember Frenchy, friend in labor and in poetry, in the da1's of our youth. The days that with us all must come to this pass. So long, Frenchv, so long.

Ccrpenters End Strike in Northern Ccrlilornicr Counties

The strike of 80,000 carpenters in 42 Northern California counties ended offrcially June 5, u'hen a 100-man cotnmittee meetinq in Oakland accelrted an empl)ver offer of a 21 cent hourly pay increase, 15 cents of rvhich :" retroactive to May 12 and 6 cents to be effective next Felrruary. In addition the employers agreed to pav 7.5 cen+s an hour into a wellike fare fur,d.

The labor situation in Northern california's construction inclustry rvas further eased rvith the acceptance by nonstriking AFL, laborers, operating engili'eers, and constructitrn tea-msters of a 15 cents hourly pay increase and a 7f cent hourl1' 'n'elfare fund contribution by employers.

The Wonder of \(/ood

By Robert E. Mahaffay West Coast Lumbermen's Association

An alarmist is a man who demands that someone begin building an ark when he feels the first drop of rain on his cheek. The pessimist predicts that the granddaddy of all storms is brewing. The optimist declares it wasn't a raindrop at all, but the petal of an apple blossom.

Somewhere between these classifications should lie our attitude toward lumber today.

It is clear that very powerful competition is shaping up between lumber and metat. Steel and aluminum production facilities are being tremendously expanded. The need at the moment is military. If we become involved ina full-scale war, we shall desperately r.eed all these facilities. If we don't, this country is going to have steel and aluminum running out of its ears.

It is probable that the metals people don't feel their product is a "substitute" for lumber. Perhaps we had better forget that description. We aren't going to sell lumber by crying that our competitors are offering a substitute. We are going to sell lumber because it is more useful, or more available, or more economical, or more attractive than other rnaterials. It doesn't seem to me that this is an outlook heavy with gloom. A11 construction cannot be done with lumber any more than all cars can be Cadillacs or all cloth can be l-inen.

We need other materials. We must look at the overall economy ofa sn'iftly expanding nation. Lumbei alone, even if we rvished it to, could not supply all of our requirements. There aren't enough t:ees, if our forests are to be managed for continuous production. If our per capita consumption of lumber had remained as high as it was in 1850, or even in 1900, lve u'ould be in a very Drecarious

position so far as the future of lumber is concerned. Our population has doubled in 50 years and tripled in 70 years. And yet, to reverse the coin, in 1951 we produced and sold more lumber than we did in 1900. We produced more lumber, indeed, than during any previous )'ear with the exception of 1909.

Somewhere along the line we must give in. There are some markets we may gracefully surrender. Nletals, and plastics too, have an essential place in our econolny. They are of course, as subject to competition as we are. As an example of the rushing, tumbling, ruggedly exploring nature of our development, we read that a plastic airplane is threatening the supremacy of aluminum in plane buildiag. It is said to be cheapei and capable of being fabricated more swiftly.

What could be more logical? Isn't this the history of America's phenomenal development ? Less than 200 years ago the United States didn't exist. Today it is the greatest production unit on earth.

Exactly what is lumber's place in this picture? Where are we going, and what may we expect? The ansrver is far from discouraging. As a matter of fact, the more closely we inquire into it, the more encouraging the outlook becomes.

First of all, we have a premium product rvhich has been so universally accepted and used that we have not yet completely explored all of its properties and potentialities. It is likely we never will complete the list, for as \\ie open the door on each new use or property, further unknowns are visualized.

No other material has so many qualities as wood. It has great strength with light weight, and is resilient. It is rugged yet easily worked, is resistant to many acids, and does not corrode. It provides both sound and thermal insulation. No other material takes and holds paint so well, while its natural pattern is often copied but never matched. What a list of merits to sell ! For years u,e haven't done more than a half-way job of merchandising. \Are have pro-

<iuced lumber beiause people bought it-for more than 5,000 uses, most of which the buyers thought up themselves. Wood can stand on its feet against all comers. It may just be that for a long time those of us in the business haven't been proud enough of wood !

Impressive as its known merits are, there is something else about lumber which is even more encouraging.

The H&HFA has developed a new method of wall sheathing which reduces the amount of lumber used, as well as the labor required to put it in place.

This is promising. We have known for a long time our walls were stronger than they needed to be. We have permitted them to remain so because lumber was cheap. We have built out of habit. We have had little incentive to explore means by which the volume of lumber in a structure could be reduced. And yet the whole history of this country's industrial development has been based on finding cheaper and more efficient ways of doing things.

Automobile manufacturers know that if they can reduce the cost of their cars, and still turn out satisfactory vehicles, they will sell more ,cars. Whenever the cost of a house can be reduced rvithout sacrificing strength and livability, more houses will be built.

And so we come to what is perhaps the most encouraging consideration in the'future of lumber and the future of the men and the firms who deal in it. That is the tremendous l eserve of usefulness inherent in wood.

We are today in a unique position. Consider it for a moment. Lumber is being challenged by concrete, by steel, by aluminum, by glass, to name only a few. This is the American way of doing things. The useful survive; those rrnable to withstand competition go down.

Stagecoaches made by the famous craftsmen of Concord were replaced by engine driven vehicles. Commercial manufacture of a predecessor of the piano, the clavichord, has ceased. In each case something new, something better,

Uholesale

Wc

something more efficient or satisfactory, took over the market.

Why, then, is lumber different? Steel and aluminum are on the rise. Their manufacturers are doing u'hat the car makers and the musical instrument designers have done before them. They are reaching out for every possible neu' market. They are studying evdry conceivable use, cartfully matching the qualities of their product with the requirements of the use.

The difference is simply that the stagecoach and the clavichord had reached the limit of their usefulness. Lumber has not. No one today can even hazard a guess as to the rrltimate limit of wood's usability.

Although wood has given satisfactory service as a construction material for thousands of years, we learned something new and important about it as recently as a few decades ago.

We learned to use timber connectors at the joints in engineered structures for greater efficiency. This meant that smaller members could be used to build larger buildings. Witness the giant blimp and dirigible hangars erected during World War IL Nothing to equal them had ever been built of woo'd in the history of the world. And yet the strength was always in the pieces. We didn't know how to fasten the pieces together. It was as simple as that. Who is to say that even better methods of fastening will not be developed?

There is a wiile spread of strength in each classification, or grade of lumber. Therefore a design in wood is based on the weakest piece which may be found in a speciiied grade. This means that much strength is rvasted. One <lay we will find a more accurate way of determining the strength in lumber-with the result that rve will use it more efficiently, and economicalll, than we do today. And, again, new markets will be open to us.

The rise of glued-laminated lumber has been little short of spectacular. For all practical purposes it had its commercial beginnings in this country with the use of gluedlaminated members at the Forest Products Laboratory in i935.

Again lumber got an assist-this time from the glue manufacturers, who developed waterproof glue. This meant that laminated lumber could be used where it rvas exposed to rough weather or water-as in bridges and ship keels.

The laminated arches used in churches and other structures are among the most beautiful things ever created from wood. A laminated beam has greater strength than a solid member tf tn" same size. It is all the same lumber with which we have been familiar, but a nerv and improved way of using it has been found.

us, we don't know. We can only be certain that we have by no means come to the end of its possibilities.

The use of preservatively treated lumber has tripled since 1900, carrying lumber into markets it would not otherwise reach.

As important as anything else is the growing tendency to judge lumber on the basis of the function it can perform tather than on its appearance. We are getting satisfactory service today from lumber which five years ago lvould have gone to the mill burner or would never have been taken out of the woods. The lower grades of lumber, properly used, have become established in the construction industry.

It still isn't easy to sell performance instead of appearance, but think for a moment how much progress has been made. Only five years ago just about everyone connected with the distribution of lumber said it couldn't be done, The retail dealers wouldn't buy low grade lumber and the consumers wouldn't accept it.

Well, people still don't rush into a lumber yard and insist on taking away the roughest looking pieces in stock, but a lot of them have been educated into understanding that a rough looking piece can do a job of work. By and large the government agencies concerned .ivith construction have supported the lorv grade effort.

There is more to be done, of course, but a cr>mmendable start has been made-a start rvhich never could have been made at all without the united cooperation of commission salesmen, wholesalers and retail dealers.

Before we are through lve are all going much farther along the road of differentiating between the appearance of a piece of lumber and its utility. When we do we rvill be using our product more efficiently. Since appearance costs money, we will be asking the buyer to pay for no more than he needs. The market for lumber will be expancled in direct ratio to the degree of our success.

Not all events are conspiring to take arvay lumber's markets. \A/e occasionally get help from unexpected sources.

One of these is the extraordinary need for new school buildings, coupled with the trend toward one-story schools. We had trouble competing for the old two and three story "monumental" type of school. They were naturals for stone and con,crete. But the one-story school is a natural for wood. So forces beyond our control have supplied us u,ith another market. All rve have to do is promote it.

Taken all together, a great rnany good things have happened to the lumber industry. We are competing in some fields we never competed in before. We are giving keener competition than we used to in others. We are realizing more of our product's potentials, and are awake to the extent of these potentials. It seems to me we are at the beginning of a new era in lumber usefulness. It is a position I like !

Perhaps everything we need at the moment in this matter of competition is promotion. And by promotion f mean more than advertising and sales literature and convention clisplays. I mean belief ln our product, pride in our product. The potential of lumber is an inspiration. We can believe in the wonder of wood, and sell the hard, practical merits of it.
