\\rashington, D.C., June 6-To encourage production and relieve a critical shortage adr.ersely affecting the defense program, OPS today announcecl increased ceiling prices for sellers of rvooden mine materials produced and consumed in n.rinds in the r,vestern portion of the United States.
The increases a:-e prescribed in Supplementary Regulation 103 to the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPI{), effective June 10, 1952.
Sellers are authorized to add 35 per cent to the highest prices they receivecl for such items during the period May 24 to June 24, 1950. The adjustment applies to both proclucers and dealers in such materials produced rvest of the l0Oth l\{eridian, running north to south from the Dakotas through Texas, and sold for use in mines in that area. Adjustments were previously allo.rved producers of mine timbers in the Lake States and Virginia and West Virginia.

A shortage of mine timbers due to competition for logs from other users threatens to affect adverselv the production of copper and other minerals vitally needed for the defense effort. The neu, level of ceiling prices is expected to bring out the recluired production by restoring customary price relationships.
The supplementary regulation applies to mine ties. srvitch ties, cross bars, cribbing, lagging, posts, caps, u'edges, stull tirnber, pit posts and pit blocks.
Although the timbers are indispensable to mining operations, they' constitute only an insignificant part of the total cost of mining. Consequently the increase u'ill not affect the market prices of mine products.

Those two lines from the great World War Two English song, were coming in over the air the other night, and what memories they brought. They are part of the inspired and inspiring British song "The White Cliffs of Dover," and there was terrific heart-pull in those lines. Willie was one of the little London kids, evidently, who had been moved to safer territory, away from the horror of the blitz. And in that chorus there was the mighty yearning of a nation for the days when peace would return, "tomorrow when the world is free."
*t<*
There was no room then in the hoping hearts of the free world for even a shadow of doubt that when their great fight was won and their limitless sacrifices were over, peace would come to their troubled land; peace that would have no ending. ft was impossible to think otherwise. The black shadow of Hitler was doomed some day to disappear, and again the good people of the world would see the bright light of freedom, and peace, and happiness, and safety.
How far wrong that opinion was, we know all too well today. The war did end, and it seemed as though the ambiticns of the free world were bound to be attained, and Willie would go to sleep in his own little room again. Willie did, no doubt, go back home. But it proved to be a home over which another black shadow was already creeping before the sound of the guns and planes in World War Two had died away. The peace that came with the end of the shooting war was a nightmarish sort, and it is with us today, overshadowing all other l"Tu" thoughts and emotions.
For it was soon discovered that the centuries-old history of wars, no longer prevailed. From the beginning of time nations had fought, peace terms had been made, and the fi.ghting men had gone home to lay down their weapons and seek the blessings of peace. But this time it was different. l'here was on$r a brief cessation of actual hostilities, before another great shadow began showing across the horizon of the free world. It seemed so impossible at first, that many men doubted the evidence of their own senses. Here was a tremendous power, recently allied with us in destroying the Hitler war machine, that was showing in a hundred undisguised ways that the peace the world thought it had attained with the ending of World War Two, was apparently farther away than ever.
The inspired words of Patrick Flenry-"1hey cry peace.
peace, but there is no peace," again rang true, this time taking in not a nation, but a suffering world. And again the philosophy of the great Scottish plowboy, Burns, to the end that "the best laid schemes o' mice and men, gang aft a'gley" could be freely and truthfully quoted. Nightmarish is the word that has been spoken and written countless times of late to describe the world situation of the present. Could anyone have foreseen or predicted that such a thing could be? Civilization seems to be sitting on a powder keg, and the men who love peace rub their eyes in unbelief. All the pain and sacrifice of a terrific war seem to have gone for naught. Men are as puzzled as they are shocked by this nightmarish thing that has come so unexpectedly upon us.
Surely nothing that the people of the free world have done, would seem to deserve in any part this colossal danger that now overshadows them, and it is therefore not even ] passing strange that men and women of abiding faith turn I their thoughts upward, seeking guidance, and help in meeting this unexpected and distressing world problem. The ir prayer of the fabled cowboy-"Oh Lord, don't let anything come my way that You and I together can't handle," seems to be a most pertinent one today. For the good people of this earth are worried and distressed as they have been but seldom in their historv.
Yet the majority or o.Jnt. of lr- t"itt will cling to the belief that right must triumph over wrong, and that one of these days the British war song already quoted will come true in its entirety, and that "there'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover. tomorrow when the world is free."
It requires times and conditions such as those now prevailing to bring home to the minds of men how priceless is freedom-priceless over all earthly things. It is only when this precious heritage might seem in danger of being lost, that we come to appraise it to its fullest; and to consecrate ourselves in every way toward its preservation.
Listened to a radio address the other night that seemed well laden with truth. The speaker was talking on the greatest need of the world at this tragic time, and he was of the opinion that that need is spirituality. He made his points well. The world prays for peace, he said, yet practically everything we hear, and read, and talk is of war, and violence, and fear. We have had war, and the fear of war with us so long, that these things pervade our thinking. Goodness, and love, and the spirit of the Man of Galilee have been automatically pushed into the background, an he thought that we need a reversal of that thinking. He
4 urdl-/?-&rn .u4rnp ia thp UeJt--

spoke of the spirituality manifested by Washington and Lincoln and other early Americans, in time of fear and doubt, and predicted that we must all begin thinking and speaking of the power of good as opposed to that of evil, and thus build a great tide of spiritual opposition to the tides of fear. ***
There is probably much thinking along that same line. I listened to a conversation among a group of ladies, and was impressed by the wise remarks of one white-haired, sweet-faced woman. She said all the good people and the right-thinking people should deliberately think and speak as often as possible about the power of goodness, and thus help create a tide that could be of great value in offsetting the clouds of fear', and doubt, and pessimism that are now so prevalent in the world. She called attention to what we read in our newspaper front pages, all about trouble, and violence, and fearful things, and she suggested how wonderful and how genuinely helpful it would be if every newspaper printed on its front page every day, something fine and inspirational that would furnish the readers gleams of goodness and hope, and might brighten their thoughts, and remind them instinqtively how much good there is in the world. She thought that a great tide of good thinking might be developed that would be a genuine and practical help to a troubled world. Idealistic. no doubt. but both the radio speaker and the white-haired lady seemed to have no doubt in their hearts that practical help could come to the world in this fashion.
These good people base their philosophy on that observation in the Good Book about "As a man thinketh in his heart . " They would fill the hearts and minds of people with hope, faith, kindness, love, and the belief that these things are great and practical weapons that might build armies of faith in an age of doubt, and thus do much to save a world now filled with fear.

lumber dealers, who use the Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service in promoting small house business, are enthusiastic over the sales results.
For year by year, as monthly designs are ' added, its selling power increases. Its accumulated desigrrs accelerate sales.
The success of the 4-Square Home Building Service is partially due to the basic soundness of its purpose. It was developed so that retail lumber dealers could give the buyer of small homes all the benefts that come from professional planning . . from the best work of architect and engineer.
The success of the Service is also due to the practicalness of designs, the modern styling, the simple forthright plans, and the
specification of standard yard materials.
And finally, this is a well-rounded program, complete in every detail from national advertising in shelter and trade magazines to local dealer merchandising material built around each new design.
As we said, dealers who are using this Service are experiencing excellent results in house sales to owners and contractors.
The Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service is now beginning its seventh year with another series of twelve home designs that will continue to be interesting and attractive. Use this Service to build business.

l ODAY I am gt-rin.g to give you a little information on hardrvoods and I shall try to cover briefly the basic differences l;etn'een hard'lvood .tncl softu'ood in merchandising, handling and servicing of ihose of yotlr customers u'ho require hardrvoods.
Every lumber yarC has a call for hardn'oods and a knorvledge of hardn'oods is necessary ancl desirable.
The technical ditTerence betn'een hartlt'oods and softu'oods is botanical. Hardt,ood trees are broad leafed. Softwood trees are nee.lle leafed. The n.raples, oaks, poplars, rn'alnuts, mahoganies, etc. have broacl leaves. The pines, firs, redu'oods and cone bearing trees have needle leaves. The term hardrvoo:! does not necessarily mean the u'ood is hard.
Hardr.voods fall into tl-o rottgh classes as far as tlseage goes. 1-The cabinet u'oods, those s'hose figure, color and ability to take a fine finish make them desirable for furniture. fixtures and cibinet l'ork. Z-Those hardrvoods that are used r.r.rainly for strengti.r as hickorv, or the degree of irardness o: softness such as maple or balsa. Son.re hards'oods fall into both c:rtegories, u'here thev are used both ior finish and trim or strength. Oak is one of these. Some .f the oldest castles in Europe are paneled and r'r'alled of fine E,uropean oaks of unsttrpassecl beauty, rvhile n.rost u,<ioden ships, old a-ncl nel' have stttrdv oak timlters for their strerrgth llroperties.

ALL u'o,rcls have 'itrips of cells that run at right angles to the fibres radially in the tree to conduct sap across the grain. These rr.n orrt like spokes from the heart of a tree to',r'ards lhe bark anrl are called rays. medullarv rays. In some species of l'ood the ravs are extremely surall-invisible to the naked eye. In others, such as sycamore and oak, thev {orm a conspicuous flake or silver grain on cluarter sau't-t surfaces. Thus n'oorls like oak are sometimes quarter sarved ()r sawn so that the {ace of the boards run parallel or nearly so to the ray. In n'oocls such as mahogany and Philippine rluarter sar,r,ing brings out a ribl>or-r figttre. n'hich enhances their beauty. Quarter sarving hardrvoods generally 1>roduces nuch narrorver boards than plain sau'n luntber.
Hardu'ood lumber is graded accordir.rg to the rules of the Natior-ral l{ardn,oo I Lumber Association. This is an o:i4anization u'hose membership inclrrdes the greater part of
rhe hardu'ood lumber manufacturers. rvholesale and retail lumbermen in the United States and Canada Its primary purpose is to formulate rules for grading and inspecting lrard'ivood lumber and to maintain inspectors r.vho will grade Iumber. for quality and quantity and give certiflcates of inspection rvhich must be accepted by its members under certain specified corrditions. It is irnpossible now to give the errtire grading rrrles of the National Hardrvood Lumber Association, as the book of rules, u'hich it publishes, 'contains 103 pages. The folorving, holvel'er, is ;i general description. The gra.les are : First and Secon.',s combined, Selects, No 1 Common, No. 2 Con.mon. Tbere are lnore grades of cor'rrse.
T"r, method of determining the gracle is by estimating the anrount of clear lur,ber n'hich a board rvill produce outside of permissible def e.:ts, such as knots, splits, rvane, bird pecks, grrrh holes, season checks and cupped lurnber. The number of cuttings necessary to make this clear lumller in a boarcl of a specified size determines the grade.
The highest gradi' itr harcln'oods is termed first and seconds, and this is the grade universally stocked by the dealers on the Pacific Coast. Lorver grades are carried in some n'oods. Ir, the majority of n'oods. tl-re grading rules of firsts ancl seconds ''equire stock to be (1" and u'ider and 8 to 16 feet long. Because of the high grade. demanded by the trade here, the percentage of u'ide s'idths and long lengths is lirnited. For this reason, stock 12" and wider and 12 leet and longer lakes a premium in price. To secure a better run of stock. and at a much lorver price it is advisablc to buy narro\\' siock, and short lengths, n'hen possible. To make reallv the most satisfactory bargain, give your cutting sizes, u-hich u'ill enable the dealer to fiIl your order to better advantage.
A feu' l'oods ur'-iv be had in lengths from 18 to 48 feet long. These length; are tnuch higher in price than standard lengths. Occasittnally, n'e receive orders for stock 18 ft. long, out oi s'hich a cttstotner intends to cut 2, 3, 6 ot 9 feet lengths, the same applying to even longer lengths. This is noi econorniczrl.

Proposed Commercial Standard for Standard Stock Double-Hung Wood Windo'iv Units has been circulated by the Commodity Standards Division, Office of Industry and Commerce, to manufactturers, distributors, and other interested grotlps for their review and comment, the U. S. Department of Commerce reported today.
The purpose of this commercial standard is to establish standard sizes, layouts, construction requirements, grading, tolerances, and assembly of double-hung r.l'ood'ivindow units for the guidance of producers, distributors, architects, builders, and the public.
The standard provides minimum requirements for doublehung wood windorv units. A windorv ttnit is con.rposed of a frame, window, weather stripping, balancing device, screen and/or storm sash, which has been completely assembled into a properly operating unit.
A limited number of mimeographed copies of the Proposed Standard are available, and a copy may be obtained as long as the supply lasts, from the Commodity Standards Division, Office of Industry and Commerce, IJ. S. Depart.ment of Commerce, Washington 25, D. C.

Woody, the log that walks and talks like a man, unlimbered another literary weapon in his war against man-caused forest fires.
It's a 48-page, two-color, pocket-size booklet called, "A Visit To The Forest With Woody." Using comic strip technique, Woody takes Jimmy and Jane for a walk through a Tree Farm.
On the walk they meet squirrels, birds and other forest creatures and learn how trees grow from little seeds dropped on the forest floor. There are other conservation lessons, too.
When Jimmy and Jane go wading, Woody explains: "The forests help make streams like this possible. Trees hold water in the grounri like a sponge so it r,vill run off slowly after the rains."
Woody telis Jimmy and Jane he is afraid of fire and shows them why by taking them to see a forest that was recently burned. He points to blackened snags that once were beautiful growing trees and to a deer killed by fire. When fire burns the forest, it destroys the wood needed for paper, lumber and thousands of other useful things made from trees.
"It all adds up to jobs for about three million people in America," says Woody, "and all those valuable products that's why we lose when fire hits the forest !"
American Forest Products Industries, Inc., 1319 Eighteenth Street N.W., Washington 6, D.C., is distributing free copies
of the booklet to schools, forest industries, and Keep Green organizations in all 48 states. Copies of "A Visit To The Forest With Woodyi are available from local Keep Green headquarters in most areas with a state Keep Green imprint on the back cover. AFPI represents the rvood-using industries of the United States.'

Seven years ago I. S. Brorvn, knol'n to his many friends as "Brorvnie," purchased the llorverman Lumber Co., at 6527 San Fernando lload, Glendale, from George llamn.rond, and has since been operating the business as the Inclustrial Lumber Co.
Ilrou'nie hails from Tennessee. He started in the lumber business u'ith E. K. \\''ood I-umber Co. at Los Angeles and spent 27 years n'ith them in various capacities, being a salesman for a number of 1'ears. When he retired from the E. K.

13rorvnie is president of the Industrial Lumber Co.. and is assisted by Carl Payne, inside salesman, H. T. NtcCarthy, outside salesman, and Mrs. Myrta Fleiner, u'hcr hanclles the billing, invoicing and other office l.ork. 12 men are enrployed in the yard.
The vard covers three acres of ground and has a storage
capacity of three million feet of lumber. Yard equipment consists of three trucks, including a ne\l, heavy duty International truck, model L-I92, and a lift truck. A spur track runs into the yard that can accommodate four freight cars.
The company handles Douglas Iir, pine, redu.ood, plyrvood, sash and doors, finish lumber, rvallboards and all kinds of building materials.
Brorvnie takes an active part in Glendele civic affairs, is a member of the Glendale Rotary Club, Elks Club, and a former director of the Glendale Community Chest and Chamber of Commerce. He has been a member of Hoo-Hoo for manv years and at concats he presides at the piano furnishing music for the occasion. He nol' has an organ installed in his home and is very exirert at playing it. He also plays a good game of golf.
Brorvnie's entry into the retail lumber ltusiness on his ou'n has been very successful, and he reports indications point to 1952 being his best year yet.
The revision of Credit Regulation X just announced by the Federal government is extremely disappointing and will have little or no helpful effect on the housing market, H. R. Northup, executive vice president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated today (Monday, June 9).
"The reduction in downpayments is so slight, except for the lowest priced homes, that it will afford no important relief to families seeking larger homes or to builders who have such homes standing vacant for lack of buyers with sufficient downpayments," Mr. Northup said.

"The:e is no sound reason for maintaining such tight control over housing credit when restrictions have been completely removed on appliances, automobiles, and other goods. It is difificult to escape the ,conclusion that government officials are using superfluous emergency powers for the purpose of programming housing in such a rvay as to fit their own social aims.
"A recent nationwide survey conducted by members of NRLDA's Executive Committee showed that in many parts of the country large numbers of homes priced at $15,000 and up are completed but unsold. Prospective buyers are eager for the homes but can't raise the excessive downpayment required in the name of a credit emergency which seems to exist only in the field of housing
"fnasmuch as Federal agencies refuse to take the necessary administrative action, our only alternative is to place the facts before Congress and urge that their authority to maintain controls over housing credit be removed entirely."

Bob Male, who sells for Fay Lumber Co. of Portland, in Southern California, recently flerv up to Arcata to visit mills in the area. He was met in Arcata and accompanied on his tour by Hank Heiser of the Portland office.
Wed., June 11, 1952.-Members of the Special Millwork lnduStry Advisory Committee today at their first meeting with OPS officials recommended that a tailored regulation be issued pcrmitting their industry to reflect in its prices increased costs cccurring since the establishment of ceilings under tl-re General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR).
The industry manufactures doors, windows, panels and other rnillwork in accordance with architects' drawings or customers' specifications, in contrast with millwork made to standard specifications and stocked by building material suppliers.
Committeemen said special millwork manufacturers are now selling generally under GCPR ceilings. At the same time, they have been able to purchase lumber, their raw material, below ceiling prices.
They said GCPR ceilings would be inadequate for their industry if lumber prices were firm at ceilings. They have irad to increase wages twice since the GCPR price freeze, and are facing prospects of another wage increase.
Committeemen examined a tentative draft of a proposed regulation that would provide for pricing by formula, including fectors for material, waste, labor, other costs and margin.
It was proposed that manufacturers be authorized to employ the pricing formulas they had in effect during the base period of January 25 to February 24, 1951. The material factor would be based on ceilings established by tailored regulations. Committeemen recommended that labor costs be figured on the basis of wage rates in effect on July 26, 1951, the cut-oiT clate provided in what is commonly referred to as the Capehart formula. This formula conforms n'ith the amendment to the
Defense Production Act adopted last year, which provides a seller is entitled to his pre-Korean price plus adjustments covering subsequent cost increases up to July 25, 1951.
Committeemen said this cut-off iate would make it possible to cover only a part of the wage increases paid by industry since the GCPR price freeze.
Members expressed belief their industry would be entitled to higher ceilings under the OPS industry earnings standard than now provided by the GCPR. Under this standard an industry is entitled to an upward adjustment of ceilings if its earnings, before taxes, based on net worth, are less than the earnings of the best three out of four years from 1946 to 1949, irrclusive.
Committeemen felt that a survey to qualify the industrv for higher ceilings under this standard should be considered if the july 26,1951, cut-off date on labor costs was not authorized.
The meeting was conducted by Glen Converse, chief, Mi1lu,ork Section, OPS. Other OPS officials present were:
A. G. Paul, Jr., chief, Lumber and Wood Products Branch; Charles Evans, F'orest Products Division Counsel; Marviu Bacon, division economist; Donald K. Weasmer, branch econornist; Stanley Strauss, branch counsel; Bernard J. Greenfiel,l, attornev; Daniel Cohen, economist, ancl Walter R. Moulton, Office for Industry Advisory Committees.

Undercut Albany trimmer, and a new 250 h.p. water tube boiler.
A new planing mill, consisting of a 6-12-Al Stetson Ross matcher, complete with hoist, grinding equipment, sorting chain and Archer blower pipe system was completed in November. Two new Moore Cross-Circulation double track kilns have been recently completed to provide a wellrounded operating unit. The new kilns are 66 feet long and will hold a total of 150 thousand feet.
The package system of handling lumber is used. The mill and kilns are located in close proximity to the green chain to call for minimum handling of the units from the green chain to the surfaced dry units. It is anticipated by the owners to discontinue the use of the pond and hyline and the handling of all logs will be with two new Gerlinger lift trucks.

Washington-Coincident with the government's lifting the ban on recreational buildings, Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association, is distributing its new booklet, "Timber for Recreational Buildings," to architects, engineers and builders.
Designed to assist the building professions in their plans to meet pent-up demands for recreational facilities in all parts of the nation, the Z4-page pictorial booklet portrays the wide variety of design attainable by the use of three major systems of timber construction. The widely used systems are the Teco connector, glued laminated, and Lamella.
"Builders 'ivho have chosen modern wood construction in planning their gymnasiums, drill halls, theatres, community buildings, and other recreational facilities, are in a particularly advantageous position," commented Harry G. Uhl, president of Timber Engineering Company. "With plenty of timber available, the builder of engineered timber structures can offer the recreation market, as well as all others, both a cost and time advantage.
"Furthermore," said Mr. TJhl, "there are timber truss fabricators in all sections of the country ready to serve the builders. They are listed along with the design ideas and other helpful data in our new booklet."

One man when he has done a service to another is ready to set it down to his account as a favor conferred. Another is not ready to do this, but still in his own mind he thinks of the man as his debtor, and he knows what he has done. A third in a manner does not even know what he has done, but he is like a vine which has produced grapes, and seeks for nothing more after it has once produced its proper fruit. As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has caught the game, a bee when it has made its honey, so a man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and. see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season. Must a man then be one of these, who in a manner acts thus without observing it? Yes. What more does thou want when thou hast done a man a service? Art thou not content that thou hast done something comfortabl'e to thy nature, and dost thou seek to be paid for it, just as if the eye demanded a recompense for seeing, or the feet should demand a recompense for walking?
-Marcus AureliusThere was a tree well rooted in the ground, Though rocked by winds had stood for many years, Its rustling leaves had played to many ears, And of all trees. this made the loudest sound.
One day it fell, and this is what was found: It fell to where it leaned; but then who cares, If but a tree has fallen unawares ?
Yet, many trees were bruised that stood around.
This is the moral: Man is like a tree, For as he leans he's very apt to fall. He boasts of strength, and yet he cannot see How habits form the leanings of us all. Good habits make us straight as men should be. The tree that fell began to lean when small.
-Peter Alfred PetersonA salesman stopped at the house and tried to sell Grandpa one of the new hearing aid devices.
"Don't need it," Grandpa said. "f hear more now than I can understand."
f lay very little stress either upon asking or giving advice. Generally speaking, they w,ho ask advice know what they wish to do, and remain firm to their intentions. A man may allow himself to be enlightened on various points, even upon matters of expediency and duty; but, after all, he must determine his course of action for himself.
-Wilhelm von HumboldtOld Gaffer Muggins met the vicar as he was strolling down the village street.
"Ah, Muggins," boomed the vicar, "there's spring in the air,"
"What's that you say?" asked Muggins.
"I said spring in the air," thundered the vicar.
"Why should I?" snapped the old *"r._"*"hange
No one has success until he has the abounding life. This is made up of the many-fold activity of energy, enthusiasm and gladness. It is to spring to meet the day with a thrill at being alive. It is to go forth to meet the morning in an ecstasy of joy. It is to realize the oneness of humanity in true spiritual sympathy.

f have told you of the man who always put on his spectacles when about to eat cherries, in order that the fruit might look larger and more tempting. In like manner I always make the most of my enjoyments, and, though I do not cast my eyes away from troubles, I pack them into as small a compass as I can for myself, and never let them annoy others.
-Robert Southey.A careful man I want to be, A little fellow follows me, I do not dare to go astray, For fear that he'll go the self-same way.
I cannot once escape his eyes, Whate'er he sees me do, he tries, Like me he says he's going to be, The little chap who follows me.
He thinks that I am good and fine, Believes in every word of mine; The base in me he must not see, The little chap who follows me.
I must remember as I go, Through summer's sun and winter's snow, I'm building for the years to be, The little chap who follows me.

Ilarle D. Bender at 2959 Carlsen St., Oakland, is norv the Nortl-rern California representative for Fairhurst Lumber Company of California, for vr''holesale sales of Douglas fir, redrvood and ponderosa pine.
NIr. Bender was born and raised in Oakland, and has been in the lumber rvholesale business for the past seven years. He r,vas also formerly associated with Trinity National Lumber Company as sales manager. He is assisted by Gordon R. Saunders, who calls on the trade in Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys and portions of the North Coast area.
By Ed NofzigerExpenditures for new construction rose to $Zfi blllion in May 1952, setting a new record for the month, according to a joint report of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division, U. S. Department of Commerce. During the first five months ol 1952, total new construction outlays amounted to $11.9'billion,3 per cent more than the total for the corresponding period of last year.
Seasonal advances in most types of construction in May maintained total construction activity at a level moderately above a year ago. Expenditures for private residential building were about the same as in May 1951, and factory building was still substantially above last year despite recent declines. Most other types of private non-residential building activity were below year-ago levels. Public utility construction shou'ed a moderate increase over the year' Total private outlays for new construction amounted to $1.8 billion in May, bringing expenditures for the first five months of 1952 to $8.1 billion.
Public spending fo: neu, construction continued its upward climb, reaching $947 million in May. An increase in highway work, although less tban usual for this time of year, was an important factor in boosting this total. Federal expenditures for military, atomic energy, and defense plant facilities rose more than seasonally. Total public outlays for new construction during the first five months of 1952 exceeded $3.8 billion, 25 per cent more than during the corresponding period of 1951.
Masonite Corporation's 1952 advertising program is interpreted in terms of sales calls on potential customers in a two-color, 16-page brochure which highlights sales supports for dealers handling the company's line of hardboards. The trademark figure, ri'idely known as the "Masonite Man," is personified as a "million-dollar salesman" who can be hired to build more hardboard profits for the dealer.
Distributed to rvholesalers and their salesmen, the brochure depicts the "Masonite Nl[an" as averaging more than 300,000 separate calis every rvorking day, through advertisenrents in an impressive list of consumer, shelte:, farm, building, business and class magazines. He is shown as "the No. I sales winner" in the hardboard field.
Among the services the personified man performs for dealers are rvidespread publicity in nern'spapers' magazines and radio, and providing more than a dozen sales promotion aids.
Among the latter are specification l>ooklets, mailing folde:s, handyman plans, farm plans and folders, samples, advertising mats, movie trailers, how-it's-made exhibits, windorv and interior displays and television playlets.
The folder \\'as prepared by the Buchen Company, advertising agency, under the supervision of Masonite's sales promotion manager, Bradley P. Williams.

Washington-To help meet the need for more men, trained in the use of modern glues and gluing techniques required in the constantly expanding field of wood laminating, a special summer course of instruction in adhesives and laminating methods will be held here, August 4-8, at the research laboratory of Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association, according to C. A. Rishell, director of research.
Many key personnel, now engaged in the construction of laminated wood parts used in the Navy's current minesweeper program, have attended one of the Timber Engineering Company's 14 glue school courses and received special training in marine laminating.
"Since this program of glue courses for industry and government pe:sonnel started about two years ago," said Mr. Rishell, "many changes have taken place. For instance, the use of edge glued white oak laminates is increasing; steam bending of laminated material is another recent development pioneered by Timber Engineering's research leboratory.
"We have demonstrated to the Bureau of Ships that red oak lumber can be impregnated with approved p:eservatives, then glued to produce excellent bending timbers. The techniques involved in these and many other new developments," Mr. Rishell pointed out, "will be included in the glue laminating course at our August glue school."
An added feature of the summer cdurse will be a field trip to a modern laminating plant near \A/ashington, and a visit to a shipyard on Chesapeake Bay where some of the Navy minesweepers are under construction.
Applications for enrollment are being accepted now for' the wood laminating school that opens at 8:30 a.m., Monday, August 4, and continues through the following Friday. As in the past, the size of the class will be limited to assure maximum attention to each enrollee. Further information and application blanks may be obtained from Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.

The lumberjack is rapidly becoming the new star of America's folklore and history.
\Vriters and historians are showing live interest in American forest history. To meet this grorving demand. for factual information a national Forest Products History Foundation has been set up in Saint Paul, N{innesota, at the I\[innesota Historical Society.
Veterans of the woods are urged to jot down their memories, round up old letters and pictures, salvage every possible scrap of information which will contribute to preserving the true story of the American forest. Writers are especially eager to have more facts about the colorful "characters" of the forest products industry, how they lived, rvorked, played, fought and died.
The aim of the Forest Products History Foundation is to permanently preserve tl-re true story of the American forest and to make it known to all Americans. To do that it must depend in large measure upon primary historical materials which can be provided only by the men who have been a vital part of America's forest history. Your contribution of information, notebooks, diaries, journals, pictures, and other historically valuable materials are welcomed. Send all such materials postpaid to the Forest Products History Foundation, Minnesota Historical Society Building Saint Paul 1. Minnesota.

Today the Pacific Northrvest-Oregon, \\rashington, Idalro and N{ontana n'est of the Bitter Roots-has 72.2 million acres t'hich are classified as forest land bv the Forest Survev of the U. S. Forest Service. This classification is in tr.vl technical divisions, "non-commercial,, and,,comrnercial."
The region has 5i6.4 million acres of commercial forest land. It is land physically able to grorv marketable timber crops and rvhich no law or decree has excluded from inclus_ trial or farm logging operations.
The commercial forests of all species stand on the land in a variety of public and private orvnerships that are com_ monly intermingled. Farmers and forest industry are the major prir,ate owners, lvith state departments of forestry and the U. S. Forest Service the principal public adminis_ trators.
The commercial class of forests in all public and private ownerships is managed mainly for the purpose of pror.icling all di'isions of forest industry in the region *,ith esse'tiai raw material, norv and in the future.
The 54.4 rnillion acres of comn.rercial forest land ir-r the Pacific North.'est not only support a resorlrce of trees but a resource of people. This fact sh.*'s up distinctlv fro'r the vantage point of the logger's stump. The cutover irrea in vierv spells a story of standing timl;er that has been re_ shaped into trade items by l,ork of men ancl machines. In the process of producing for national and lr,orld nrarkets, the movement of tree stump has yieldecl wag.es, profits, taxes, interest, puchase of supplies ancl services, payment of railroad and shipping bilis.
Such returns are repeated throughout the manufacturing l)rocess and movement to u.holesale and retail markets and to the e'd rrses of the tree. Then the tree's service may continue for a centur' and more-like that of lumber in an olcl house, rvhich r.nay continue to prodrrce rental income after a cen_ tury of use.
certain stumps in the cuto'er reflect ne\\rsr)ar)ers streanling from presses in far cities. Others tell of the ltuilding. of churches and railroads. The record of goocl or bad utili_ z,ation is in the logging leftovers. The stancling snags, or the lack of them among the stumps, are a chaptei on firrest_ fire danger and defer-rse. Man1, other features present the commercial foiest cutor.er as an open l>ook on a great na_ tural resource in dvnamic use bv men at *'ork *.ith trees.
The non-commercial forest rand of the Pacific North*'est arnount to 16.3 million acres. The greater part of this acreage is on sites that range from acid muck of srvamtrs and stony ground of high altitudes. On such areas the grorvth is commonly brush, "r,veed trees,,, or other trees thett are incapable of yielding merchantable rvood products.
Minor segments of the non-commercial forest acreage have merchantable timber of high quality but stand on Iands that have been set aside b-v Federal, state, count' or
municipal governments for parks, rr,ilderness and recreation areas, military reservations, wildlife refuges and water_ sheds. In each case the authorities concerned have decided that some non-commercial use of a particular forest tract has higher r.alue than industrial use of its trees.
Trees may outstay man on the lancl of the pacific Northn'est. Then all the forests will again be non-commercial, entirely restored to nature for the making of a nelv wilder_ ness. Science foresees that outcome, rvhile looking back_ rvard to the age of stone, .ivhen Ug and Ag first felled trees for fuel and shelter. There are stumps of giant Western red cedars that mark such u,ork by primitive West Coast Indians. In the future the timber harvester may cut acres at a time, rvith an atomic ax.

example Clear Heart redwood. Firsts, the highest grade established under the rules, and generally not obtainable, only prodtrces lI/12 or 9l-2/3/" clear face cuttings. Therefore, to secure Clear hardrvoods, when they are obtainable, (mostly in small sizes) it is necessary to purchase much larger boalds than the finished sizes required-boards whose defects, rn'hen cut out, rvill produce the smaller clear piece.
I\T
I\O\\' hardrvoods are not manufactured like softwoods, principally because the trees are smaller, and the costs of extraction and manufacture are higher. Where softwoods are cut in dimensions, 1x6, 1x8, 2x4, etc. hardwoods are trir-nmed to u,hatever the log u'ill produce. To eliminate \\'aste in the manufacture of hardrvoods, boards are edged only sufficiently to trim off defects, n'ith the result that l'idths run in fractions of an inch. Lengths are trimmed to odd or even lengths. To facilitate the tallying of these odd rvidths, all hardwoods are tallied u'ith a board rule.
Due to tl-re firm texture of hardt'ood, the ends usually develop a feu' inches of season checks, and this condition n.rust be taken into consideration, n'hen figuring your requirements.
I)imension tallies of large lots are as you can see, impractical, and most hardrvood clerks. rvhen filling orders, make a long list of figures representing the board feet for each piece they get out. By adding. the total footage is obtained. I}1' counting the figures, the total pieces are
It is necessary too, for the hardu'ood man, to handle inany more boards in getting out his orders, as he has to select pieces that conform closelv to the lr'idths and lengths specified. This is the reason yonr hardu'ood supplier charges more for specified t'idths and ler-rgths than for random orclers. It just takes more time.
The main star-rclard thicknesses for rough hardu'oods average 1". 11,/a",711",2",2f",3" and 4", standard surfaced thic-knesses, 73/16', l-l/16". 7-5/16", |fi", 2,r/a", Z)(" and 394". Standard lengths are to 16 ft.
TIT is ult'a_r's an advantage to your hardr,vood supplier, to knol. the end use, :rn<l finisl-red sizes of the lumber you n'ish him to supply. Fronr his experience, he rvill select the lumber best suited to your purpose in the species you orde:. There are many varieties of n'oods, in the same species. rvith a difference in textnre, t'orkability and usability. There are hard oaks and rnild textured oaks Some are fine fr>r cabinet u'ork brrt poor for shipbuilding and vice versa The same is true of ash. Some is tough, some not. Other hardrvoods should l>e kiln dried-those used in interior trim, finish. or cabinet n'ork to be glued. Others ;rre better and cheaper air dried, such as hickory Your hardu'ood su1>plier u'ill furnish stock best suited to yonr prlrpose, if you tell him what it is.
One of the cluestions most frequently asked us is, "Hou' <loes one figure hardrvoods-if I need 6 pieces of a certain size, hou' much lumber would it take?" Of course, the footage would vary depending on the species, but here is e rule of thumb, that is quite accurate. First determine the net finished sizes. If you needed (r pieces 13/16" * 5%"
x 10 ft. of oak, for instance, first convert it to the standard rough thicknes 1". Then to the rough width it rvould take, behind the machine 6". Norv add l" to that l'iclth, and one foot to the length. Thus you should figure 6 pieces 1 x 7 x ll or 381feet which rve would call 39 feet. Simply stated, estimate the rough size, add 1" to the u'idth and I foot to the length. People rvho use hardwood regularly recognize that it is necessary to add a certain amollnt of rvaste, or an additional amount of footage, in order to get the net sizes they desire.
Storage and Handling: Great care should be exercised in the storage of hardr,r'oods. The ideal situation is to keep all hardrvoods under shed. This, of cottrse, is not always practical or economical. Therefore, for outside storage of green or part dry lumber, you rvill generally find the harcl\\'ood man goes to considerable effort in sticking and covering his piles. Checked l.rardlvoods have little value, and if )'ou contemplate the large investment of money expensive hardlvood piles represent, yott t'ill realize 'w'hy this care ;s necessary. A11 cabinet rvoods should be properly kiln dried and all kiln clried lumber should be stored inside of a dry shed or building.
Mrscelr-ANEouS Tips:
l-Most hardrvoods shoulcl be painted on the ends rvith a suitable preparation to reduce end checking
2-Allvays store green hardu'oods flat on stick or lath t'ith cross ventilation, but out of the wind
3-Alu'ays put the same finish on both sides of lgide boards to prevent or reduce the tendency to rvarp.
4-For rvide pieces 6vsv llt'-it is generally better to use tu.o or three pieces and glue, reversing the grain or placirlg heart edge to sap edge. \\ride pieces tend to lvarp.
S-Ited oak is more 1.,lentiful, is available in higher gra<les generalll'. and cheaper than \\rhite oak. For farm implelxents, bocly u'ork, etc. air dried Red oak should be specified. The main difference betu.een Red and \\lhite oak is :n the cellular structure. The pores of Retl oak are open. If you held a bundle of hollorv reeds, it s'ould give you an idea of the cellular structure of Red oak. A Jrundle of baml:oo u,ould illustrate \\/hite oak. The cells of \\rhite oak are stopped up in each minute length by rvhat \\'e call t1'losis. You can blou, through the end grain. of a short piece of Iied oak. You can't in White oak.
(r-To make thin flat lumber, it is generalll better to plane off equal amounts of rvood from each face, rather than to resa\\'. It is not generally practical to resan, the clenser hards'oods. There is too much internal stress aiter it is <1ried.
7-Philippine mahogany is the cheapest of the goocl hardu,oocls. It is even available non' in exterior sidirrg at prices comparable or cheal>er than redl'ood.
8-Most hardu'oocls hzn'e pronottnced heartn,ood and sapn'ood. fn some cases there are regttlar grades of all heart or all sap as in Selected \\rhite birch and maple (all sapu'oocl) or Selected Recl birch (all heartn'ood). Hardu'oods are generally furnished tlnselected, hou'ever.
9-Walnut. Occasionally \\,e get calls for u'alnut ltoards free of sap. Sap is allol'ed in certain percentages ttn<ler the u'alnnt grading rules. Black lvalnut, that is all heartn'ood, is alnrost impossible to obtain. excet)t for an oc-
F
casional piece or on a long accumulative basis. Most rvalnut !s steamed in rvalnut sawdust, rvhich stains the sapwood, so it does not contrast sharply rvith the heartwood. Walnut tends to run narrow and short. Occasional large clear pieces are almost extinct.
lO-Birch can be substituted for walnut or mahogany, r,vhen properly stained. Where price is the factor, magnolia or tupelo make a fair substitute for walnut and mahogany, although there is nothing like the real thing.
1l-Domestic hardwoods 10" and wider are becoming scarce rvith some exceptions like oak-also are 14 and 16 foot lengths in some woods from certain sections.
l2--Horv to specify hardu'oods :
l-State number of pieces, lineal feet or board feet required.
Z-Thickness in inches.
3-\\ridth in inches.
4-Length in feet.
S-Name of 'rvood.
6-Whether A.D. or K.D.
7-Whether rough or surfaced. If surfaced whether 1S, 25 or 45. \\rhether sizes are rough or net size after surfacing.
8-\\/hat stock is to be used for.
T
IN closing, I rvould like to state, that in mv experience, lumbermen by and large are fine people. There is something basic and sound in the industry, and in those who love and l'ork r,vith rvood, and I rvould like to say that I am proud to be a part of the lumber industry, and am happy to have had the opportunity of speaking rvith you fine gentlemen today.
