Douglas fir sawmills are holding to high levels of production, shipments and orders, according to {igures just released by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

At the end of five mor.rths of operation, through May, mills of the Douglas fir region of western Oregon and Washington had cut 4,580,088,000 board feet. This total was well ahead of last year for the same period, and topped even the five months' total cut in l95l-the all-time best output vear.

I{arris E. Smith, secretary of the lumber association, said orders of 4,588,300,000 not only topped production for the year to date, and exceeded orders for 1952, but came close to equalling the 1951 record order file.

Shipments through Mav u'ere a cluarter billion feet ahead of last year to date, Smith said.

Tl.re rveekly average of West Coast lumber production in May was 216,121,Un b.f. or ll3.8o/o of the 1948-i,952 average. Orders averaged 193,820,000 b.f.; shipments 2O9,982,000 b.f. Weekly averages for April were: Production 218,524,000 b.f.;115.1/o of the 1948-1952 average; orders 234,444,W b.f.; shipments 226,028,000 b.f.

Five months of 1953 cumulative production 4,580,000 b.f.; five rnonths of 1952, 4,203,881,000 b.f.; five months of 1951, 4,557,914,000 b.f.

TO ME THIS IS TREASON."

x<x(*

The above is part of an interview given to a newspaper by U.S. Congressman John Lyle, of Corpus Christi, Texas. This young lawmaker climbed out of a foxhol'e in Italy in 1944 to serve in the House of Representatives in Washington. Evidqntly a remarkable fellow.

*{<*

His election at that time made national news headlines, because he was fighting with the 536th Infantry Battalion, was a veteran of Anzio Beachhead, had won the purple heart for battle wounds, and came out of the war a captain. Ffe was elected to Congress in absentia, beating a popular and wealthy incumbent, Dick Kleberg. He knows a lot about war that he learned at first hand, and should be something of an authority on the subject. Being a man of high intelligence he is in position to view our present situation from wide angles.

*t<*

In the interview quoted from at the head of this piece, he made another positive statement of direct interest at this moment. He said that he has so far supported American aid abroad, but that he will have a hard time voting this year for the $5.8 billion for military and economic aid to foreign nations. That idea will find strong support from thinking citizens. He wants to see an audit showing just how those nations that have been sitting under the money sPout supplied by American taxpayers, have been spending every dollar of it. ***

Under the political regimes of the past many years, such a suggestion would have been considered heresy. But perhaps the time has come when the people who sweat for that cash should know what goes with it. That suggestion would no doubt meet strong approval throughout this land. If the nation were to vote pro or con on that suggestion, there would hardly be enough votes against it to be worth counting.

8**

As a matter of fact, how do you think, dear reader, this nation would vote if given a chance to decide the question

of continuing or discontinuing these billions for foreign aid, particularly the economic end? The major objection to economic foreign aid in the past has been on the wildeyed and irresponsible methods employed, rather than on the principle of the thing. Armies of men rushing about in many foreign lands begging folks to accept our cash, has not been a highly respected activity among those who pay the bills. Let us hope that those days are gone.

Rep. Lyle made anoth.JJ; point in his printed interview. He remarked that when it comes to sending billions abroad without even demanding an accounting of the money, Congress makes the appropriations with singular willingness, but when it is asked for funds to help finance more and better schools for American children in the defense-crowded areas of THIS country, it takes the strongest possible persuasion to get the bill through. The Congressman is a strong advocate of looking after things at home, especially the children.

That point is food ,", ;"; tlorrgtt. How easy it is to throw billions around in some directions, while in other, and better directions, we are tight as popcorn. Just the other day $'e were reading a speech about the inconsistencies of many people who criticize the high price of farm products in the markets. He said a man will beef till he's black in the face about paying 22 cents for a quart of fine, healthy, life-giving milk and then pay 25 cents for a swig of beer and never open his trap about the price.

The last paragraph t" ", l",rl"e a digression from the interview of Congressman Lyle, which we will take up again right soon; after the next paragraph, in fact. The comparison of the milk and beer attitudes brings to mind another we read recently. It's one of the latest television jokes. "Indiana Phone News" has this one: "Television's wonderful. Years ago it cost 25 cents to see a cowboy movie at a theatre, and now you can stay home and see the same movie for $350." ***

Back to Congressman Lyle. If we who sit on the sidelines can do nothing else about it, we can at least urge our lawmakers generally to follow his advice, and demand an accounting and an audit from all those who get our money in future, and state plainly: "Don't forget to report exactly what you do with this money, and if it isn't good you'll never get another dime from us." Would that be asking too much?

DO YOU KNOW?

These Are But A Few oI the Reqsons

,.THEY KEEP COMTNG BACK FOR MORE''

And here's another thing he said in that interview, published in the Houston Post. He said that wars should be fought economically, and not simply with guns and blbod. i Taxpayers should love the young man for that, too. President Ihe seems fully in accord with that opinion, judging by his efforts to cut down expenses in various large ways. The old theory that war must be conducted wastefully and no questions asked about the price of things, is likely to be discarded in favor of an effort to get the maximum for the money, within safe bounds.

The remarks of the young Texas Congressman are well in keeping with some opinions that we read the other day by one of our favorite newspaper columniists. He was writing from Texas, and he said he found much less confusion in Texas than in other places he had been on the subject of some vital matters of the moment. He said that Texas is one place where there is no doubt or confusion in anyone's mind about divided allegiance between the U.S. and the U.N. There is no division there, he says; it is all U.S. ***

He said that there are two other matters concerning which Texans are agreed and firmly resolved. They have no difficulty in trying to think of the right hyphenated word to use to describe any man who hides behind the 5th amendment when asked whether or not he is a Communist? They also know exactly what ought to be done about nations that trade with the Reds while the Reds are fighting us and killing our boys. Those are two questions, says this writer, that are completely settled in Texas.

i<- * {€

A couple of years ago several Americans of distinction were discussing the atom bomb, and one said to the other: "Why do you doubt that Russia has the atom bomb, and the know-how to use it?" And the other replied, tersely: "WE'RE HERE, AREN'T WE?"

Because, as we heard a sp€aker say not long ago: "In considering the situation that exists between the United States and Russia, keep THIS thought in the front of your head: if they had had the same advantages over us that we have had over them for years past, including atomic $reapons and what to do with them-WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.''

Sometimes we are irr"ul"a*tolemporize with this communist thing. Whenever you find yourself feeling kindly to the Commies, remember what President Robert G. Sproul, of the University of California said: "To Communists, no act is a crime which is committed in the name of Communism."

*{r*

Every sin, no matter how fearful, if committed in the name of and for the binefit of Communism, carries with it its own forgiveness, its own justification.

**:l

Witness the letter Stalin wrote to Kalmer, in which he said: "To choose one's victim, to prepare our plans mi-

nutely, to stake an implacable vengeance; and then to go to bed. There is nothing sweeter in the world." Put that measuring stick on any question that arises about the danger of Communism here at home. Stalin was laying down the law, and, as the street saying goes, "he wasn't just chomping his gums." {<{.*

Rupert Hughes, famous author and orator and militant crusader against Comrnunism here at home, tells in his speeches about the time Stalin'.allowed millions upon millions of Russians to die of starvation, because there were too many of them. He sSys that a river was fooded by heavy rains in that part of .the land where the millions were murdered and that eye witnesses reported seeing that river jammed from bank to bank with human corpses, like a log jam. And Mr. Hughes also tells of a young Russian girl who publicly remarked that it was silly to vote in an election where no choice was allowed. The next morning her corpse was found on her father's porch. ***

Frbm here to the end of this piece there will be some happy thoughts. "Always leave them l'aughing when you say goodby," sang George M.' Cohan. We never read "Letters to the editor" that appear in the daily press, although now and then someone mails us one. The other day we got this one; clipped from some newspaper: "Dear Editor: After years of deep and serious thought I have determined what is wrong with this world. There are too many women, and they talk too much." (Easy to guess what his trouble was.)

Paul Crume, columnist in Dallas, Texas, tells about a homely philosopher named Pitchfork Smith who used to live there, who utt6red this spl'endid and logical philosophy: "Look at the map and it shows you that there's six times as much watbr as land on the face of the earth. Any fool can see that the good Lord meant a man to fish six times as much as he plows."

"The liori" says a roving story "started out through the jungle one day feeling high and mighty. Every animal he met he demanded to know 'Who is the King of beasts?' And in each case the frightened beast replied, 'You are, O lord of the jungle.' As he went along and they all said the same thing, the lion got prouder and prouder. Then he met an elephant and asked the same thing. The elephant wound hls trunk around the lion and threw him high into a brush pil'e. The lion, bruised and sore, got to his feet, and as he limped away he said to the elephant: 'You didn't need to get mad just because you didn't know the answer."t

Gene Reynolds Visirs North

Gene Reynolds, San Francisco, who covers Northern California for Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, made a recent flying trip to various company mills in Oregon and Washington. Among others he visited the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company mill at Snoqualmie Falls, Washington, where he got his start in the lumber business back in 1917.

Fir Plywood Group Lays Plans . for Promotion Campaigns

West coast plyu'ood manufacturers laid plans at their annual meeting last month for a series of summer and fall smash campaigns that will triple the scope of fir plywood promotion in the second half of 1953.

In a meeting in Gearhart, Ore., attended by some 250 plywood leaders from Washington, Oregon and California, the panel makers outlined a series of promotion moves intended to absorb the expanding production facilities of the S7-factory industry which is now selling plywood at the rate of over 3 billion square feet annually. At the sarne time, they elected S. Eberly Thompson, vice president and director of M and M Wood Working Co. of Portland, Ore., president of Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

Thompson succeeds B. V. Hancock, outgoing president of the industrv trade association, who delivered the keynote address. Hancock, executive vice president of Cascades Plyw'ood Corporation, announced that despite an average r,r'eekly production of 70 million square feet, the industry's total backlog of unfilled orders is still close to six weeks. However, he pointed to the industry's expanded capacity and said that since the beginning of 1952, the number of plants has increased from 76 to 87. Ticking off his points one by one, Hancock declared:

"Markets for more plywood can be found, but they must be sold. We need more intensive industry-sponsored sales promotion and more ell'ective sales techniques bf individual manufacturers."

Then he outlined a series of contemplated promotions including a big midsummer advertising campaigr-r behind

exterior fir plywood for outdoor storage units, carports, small boats, and structural applications.in homes and comrrercial buildings.

The campaign will be follou'ed in the fall, he said, 'ivith two more big national promotior-rs-one a campaign built around eight practical, lou'-cost plyrvo<ld storage units and another keyed to increased clealer sales in the lush Christmas market.

The ply\ood leader also announced plans for introcluction this fall of a new plylvood specialty panel designed for modern architectr.rral trends. Hancock said the nerv material is intended to tap markets never before reached rvith standard grades of lir plywood.

Hancock's address rvas followed by a revielv of the ir,dustry's progress during the past year by E. \\r. Daniels, chairman of the industry's promotion management cornmittee and director of sales, Harbor I'lyrvood Corporation, Aberdeen, \\'ash. Daniels pointed out that one of the n.rost significant developments in that period was the increase in the sales of structural plvwood for subfloors, r'r.all sheathing and roof decking.

Daniels said sales in this bracket jumped frorn 335 million square feet in 1951 to 570 million square feet in 1952an increase of 70 per cent. He cited one big project builder u'ho save $100 per house with plyrvood constructiotr.

After his address, the meeting unanimously passed a resolution introduced by Fros{ Snyder, presiderrt of Vancorlver Plvrvood Co., honoring Daniels for his otttstanding (Contrnued on Page 14)

Thot's Who'd Sing Bqss

Teddy Roosevelt was probably the most vigorous, gogetter type of man that ever held the high office of President of the United States. And because of his great personality and punchfulness, he was the subject of countless stories during his active days. Of all the tales that were told at that time concerning this very interesting and attractive individual, the following has always been my choice. Because it belongs in every story scrapbook, we are running it again for the benefit of those who have forgotten it, or never heard it.

Teddy died and went to heaven, so the story goes. St. Peter was escorting the distinguished arrival around heaven, sholving hirir the sights of interest, and acquainting him with this new home, Teddy considered the situa-

tion thoughtfully, and then told St. Peter he had a suggestion to offer. The old boy with the whiskers said he would welcome it. So Teddy said:

"Let's grganize a chorus of rnale singers. There must be a world of great talent here in Heaven."

St. Peter said: "Yes there is. How do you suggest we go about it?"

Teddy pointed to his left, and said: "We will put five thousand first tenors over there. Then we will put five thousand second tenors right next to them. Then we will put five thousand baritones next to the second tenors."

He stopped, and after St. Peter waited a few moments for further suggestions, he asked: "Who will sing bass?"

And Teddy roared: "Don't be silly! I'LL SING BASS !"

flereos another success story of a person-to-person canvass:

In the Wahoo (Nebraska) ordnance plant of the National Gypsum Company, employee participation in the Payroll Savings Plan was a very low L.73/o.

In.September of last year,with the whole-hearted encouragement of top management, the 3,000 employees of Gypsum's Ordnance Plant organized to conduct a person.to-person canvass to put a Payroll Savings Application Blank in the hands of every employee.

90/o of the employees signed up in the opening days of the campaign. By September l2th, employee participation was 93.7/o. On October 2nd, participation was almost 97/o-and, still going up.

To quote from National Gypsum's printed report of the Payroll Savings campaign:

*Did we use fancy charte ! Did we use advertieements? Did we have long-winded meetings. Did we

give prizes for production? The answer is No! W'e put the proposition squarely to the people, and we reported to the people once a week in bulletin form to let them know where they stood in relation to other departments as well as to the plant total. Once the spirit of competition and teamwork caught fireo once it became a matter of personal pride; a succesgful conclusion was only a matter of time and efiort.'o

Justifiably proud of its sponsorship of the Payroll Savings Plan and the9l/o enrollment of its employe-es, National Gypsum Company prepared a very interesting foldero "Bombs and Bonds for National Defense.

The resolution credited Daniels with a dominant role in the growth of the industry during the past decade and a half, saying that the success of joint industry promotion has been "due in large part to his energy, wisdom and unselfish devotion to industry affairs."

In other phases of the meeting, Charles f. Hamman, Chairman of Industrial Economics Services at Stanford Research Institute, discussed modern marketing techniques, outlining methods by which manufacturers can check sales management performance.

Ned H. Dearborn, president of the National Safety Council, and Dan Adair of the same organization, outlined a series of safety programs which have substantially cut losses from accidents in other industries.

Moves to lorger Gluqrters

Jim Barron, general manager Sand Door & Plywood Company, announced last n'eek his company moved its rvarehouse facilities in San Bernardino, California, to larger, more spacious quarters.

"Due to the increasing business throughout the Riverside, San Berrrardino and Imperial Valley Counties it became necessary to more than double our stock to properly service our accounts in this area," said Mr. Barron, when he announced the new location. The 10,000 square foot warehouse is located at 414 South I Street and complete stocks of hardwood and softwood plyrvood, doors and Masonite hardboards will be maintained for the retail dealers for fast delivery and pick-up in the trade area east of Los Angeles.

"David Beauchaine, well-known lumberman, has been appointed manager of the new district headquarters and Robert Riggs will be in charge of the warehouse operation. In this manner we will offer a complete coverage of this important territory," declared Jim Barron.

Kindlv Competition ls Modern

Have you ever stopped to consider, Junior, how absolutely new is kindly, friendly competition?

Fact. It is strictly a product of our modern civilization that was unknown in earlier days.

The history of the world amply demonstrates that until a few short decades ago the human mentality seemed totally unable to conceive of friendly toleration of a competitor.

The old gods, the old religions, the old kings, the old nations, all conceived it to be their first duty to destroy their competitors, or make them slaves. That there was room for all-that the world might thrive on competitionthat men and things would develop cooperatively-was too great for their narrow comprehension.

Even the God of Israel describes Himself innumerable times throughout the Old Testament as a "jealous God."

Take the history of nations and of cities. Throughout the back ages, governrnents of men clung viciously to the opinion that each must exist at the expense of its competitors. The great example was Cato and Carthage. Cato, the Roman, went to Carthage, the great power that had sprung up on the other side of the Mediterranean, as Ambassador. And he became so obsessed with the idea that if Rome were to ll.ve, Carthage must die, that he made the destruction of Carthage his life's work. He took for

his eternal slogan the words, "Delenda est Carthago !" (Carthage must be destroyed.) And Carthage WAS destroyed.

Cato did not understand that Carthage was helping Rome civilize the world, and that through civilization, and only in that way, could the world and Rome make progress.

Men of the Cato mentality are still to be found in the world. The'Soviet empire today is a splendid example of that philosophy. And men of that mentality are still to be found in business, in politics, and in other roadways of life.

Fortunately they grow ever fewer, as modern man learns and proves that cooperation and competition alike are essential to our way of life.

Interesting Focts About Cclifornio

FHA Active in Long Beqch

During the past three years many thousands of properties in the Long Beach FHA Offrce jurisdiction have been satisfactorily improved or remodeled and financed through the facilities of FHA's Title I, Insured Property Improvement loans, according to H. V. Davidson, Director, of the I-ong I3each Federal Housing Administration Office.

Title I, Insured Financing hol<ls an important place in a program to finance the repair of, to remodel, or to add to any type of existing structure, not only to maintain properties in good condition but very often to increase the o'ivner's income, and in all but a comparatively few cases the program has been very satisfactory, Mr. Davidson continued. "Those few cases are the result of the activities of unprincipled persons," he said.

Moy Housing Storts-107,000

Housing starts totaled 107,000 in May, a decrease of about 3,000 units from April, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although the decline was slight, it rvas rather general throughout the country and represented the first April-May downward movement since World War II. A rise in housing activity had been expected in May after interest rates were increased for FHA and VA mortgage loans.

Privately-owned dwellings put under construction during the month totaled 104,000, a little less than the April figure (106,000 units) but the greatest May volume since the record high of i950. Public housing starts, at 2,80O units, rvere down by 2O per cent from April, and came to less than a third of the level of May a year ago.

Preliminary reports of building permits issued indicate that all sections of the country, except the New England region, shared in the April-May decline in private housebuilding. May was marked by very heavy rainfall, and floods in a number of States which may have prompted builders in some places to delay obtaining permits and starting construction.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, preliminary estimates indicate that total housing starts (private and public) u'ere at an annual rate ol 1,067,N0 in May. The final revised estimate for February was 1,258,000 while the preliminary rates for March and April were 1,114,000 and 1,I74,00O.

Timber for Cql. qnd Nevodo ftlines

The underground mines of California are estimated to have used 337,7W cubic feet of round timbers and hewn ties and timbers and 3.9 million board feet of lumber and sawn timbers for their operations in 1950.' For Nevada, corresponding amounts are 95,500 cubic feet and 3.1 million board feet. These estimates are based on the reports of 33 percent of the underground mines in California and 35 percent of those in Nevada, accounting for 99 percent and 95 percent of the mineral production, respectively.

An Editorlal

But the late President Calvin Coolidge's idea on the subject was one of the best ever uttered. He said that the greatest of all qualities a man should possess in business, is persistence. Said he:

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. IJnrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is filled with educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved, and ah;r'ays will solve, the problems of the human race."

Colorodqn Loshes Federql Tcrx Situotion

At a recent meeting of the Building Contractors Association of Southern California held at the l-os Angeles Ambassador Hotel, ex-Governor John C. Vivian, of Colorado, won cheers from the crorvd rvhen he lashed out vigorously against federal taxes as highway building. He said:

"California would not have any highn'ay financing problems if they could get the federal government's hands out of the state highway tax till."

Pointing out that the federal government granted the states $471 million for highway uses last year, he declared that the states thus lost $33O million of the $808 million the government collected through gacsoline and oil taxes.

New qnd Modern Philippine Mill Srorts

One of the most modern savgmills ever built in the Philippine Islands is starting operations about Jull' first. It is the plant of the Bistig Bay Lumber Company. Tltis is a completell' modern sarvmill planned and built especially for this concern by Filer & Storvell, consisting oi a heavy duty band mill, a resa\r', and a coml>lete line of auxiliary machinerv, all driven electrically.

This neu' mill takes the place of a smaller circular mill. It is located in the Province of Suragao, abt-rut 100 miles South of Port Lamon, on the East Coast of Nfindanao. This companv l,ent right out into the virgin forest, cleared the forest and jungle to make roorn for the mill, and ior the mill tou'n that is nor'v arising. They built a rvharf over a thousand 1'ards out into the ocean, across a coral reef, to deep rvater. A1l shipments in and out of the neu' mill tou-n are bv \\'ater.

Dodge Repods Five Month Building Boom

NEW YORK, June 20-The construction boorn in the 37 states east of the Rockies continued to spiral towards a 1953 all-time record in contracts awarded as five-month totals gave the current year an B per cent edge over 1952, it was reported today by F. \\r. Dodge Corporation, construction news and marketing specialists. The live-month 1953 figure was $6,792,329,000 according to Dodge Reports total.

Nonresidential building for five months shorved the greatest increase over 1952 rvith a $2,492,801,W total r,vhich was up 16 per cent. Residential awards at $2,795,412,N0 was up 1 per cent. Heavy engineering (public works and utilities) at $1,504,1i6,000 was up 11 per cent.

The Dodge Reports construction total for May was $1,606,091,000 or 8 per cent behind April but 3 per cent ahead of May 1952. Individual May awards showed nonresidential contracts of $582,061,00O down 15 per cent from April but up 26 per cent over May last year. Residential awards of $637]21,000 were 5 per cent less than April and 15 per cent less than May 1952.Heavy engineering at $386,309,000 was less than 1 per cent below April and was 11 per cent above May a year ago.'

New Gonstruction Expenditures Up lOo/o in Moy

New construction expenditures rose 10 per cent during May to $2.9 billion, and were 6 per cent above May 1952, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division of the U. S. Department of Commerce. Although most of the April-May rise occurred on private residential construction and road building, adverse weather kept these types of work from rising as much as usual in May. Total private expenditures were up 8 per cent from April to almost $2 billion in May, and public outlays rose 13 per cent to $933 million.

New construction activity as a whole totaled a record $12.6 billion for the 5 months January-May 1953, almost 6 per cent above the 1952 figure for the same months. Private construction, with a value of $8.7 billion, accounted for nearly the entire gain over last year, largely from increased outlays for new dwelling units and commercial building. Public expenditures totaling $3.8 billion were but slightly above the January-May 1952 total, as lowered activity on public housing, hospitals, and Federal reclamation and development work offset the moderate gains for most otl.rer types of public construction.

Private spending for residential building advanced almost 9 per cent during May to $987 million, and was 7 per cent above the May 1952 estimate. Despite a rainy spring, total expenditures thus far in 1953 for new work on private residential building an.rounted to more than $4.3 billion-

almost 9 per cent above the January-May 1952 total. Nonhousekeeping residential building (including motels, hoteis and dormitories) showed significant increases over the year;outlays of almost $100 mllion were 56 per cent more tlran in 1952 ior the first 5 months.

May expenditures of $128 million for commercial building u'ere at the higl-rest monthly rate in 2 years, and an even higher figure seems likely for June. Well over half a billion dollars u'as spent during the first 5 months of 1953 on the construction of new omces, stores, and other types of commercial building, compared with the $387 million spent during the like 1952 period.

Private industrial construction remained strong in May, with outlays almost equalling the April figure. For the first time in l1 months expenditures for this r,r'ork were above the year-ago level.

Highu.ay expenditures advanced almost 5O per cent last month to $250 million, but the 1953 total thus far ($740 million) was only slightly above outlays during the January-May 1952 period. After a seasonal rise in May, military and naval expenditures for new construction .totaled $530 million for the first 5 months of 1953-about 6 per cent over the like 1952 period.

San Francisco

There is an old story about a San Franciscan away from home, u'ho was asked by friends to make a speech eulogizing l-ris home town. His reply was classical. He said: "I never brag about San Frencisco when away from home. Never. All I've got to say about that city is that THIj FARTHER YOU GET FROM IT, THE WORSE I'I GETS.''

In the June number of the California Real Estate Magazine there is a full-page display ad signed by the San Francisco Real Estate Board. So filled is that advertisement with interesting things.about the city at the Golden Gate, THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT takes the liberty of re-printing the text. Even the most enthusiastic San Franciscans may find things to surprise them, and to enthuse over, in this text, which follows:

San Ftancisco is knoun as the City of Charn , ol stately buildings, ol inoigorating climate, ol lascinating sights of cable cars, Fisherman's Vhar!, sideoalk flouer standE ol the tallect bfiilse in the uorld. But this cosrm,opolitan city by the Golden Gate is also last becorning fixed in people's mind's throughout th'e porld aa a c'.ostroanls of cornmerce , a tnoilern giant ol indu$ry and progress. Here are some reasons why:

INDUSTRY: San Francisco is the pulse of a great industrial body that fashions products for the 1ve1ld-m2nuf4qtured goods of every conceivable variety from the 12county Bay Region-all finding passage through The City, as through a giant funnel. And San Francsico sets the pace r'r''ith an effective industrial machine of its own: manufacturing has grown to an annual payroll of approximately $350 million; value added by manufacture estimated at about $715 million. New industry and expansions of industry last year hit an all-time high in the Bay Region with $184,679,002 invested. In San Francisco alone, $7,651,953 rvas investe d in 24 new plants, and 72 expansions-creating 599 new jobs in a single eyar. San Francisco is on the march, industrially !

TRANSPORTATION: Converging in San Francisco is a vast transportation network that brings unexcelled service to local industry and business. The City is served directly by four Class 1 railroads operating more than 27,000 miles of line; many fast new ocean {reighters; more than 4O cornmon carrier truck lines ; bus lines radiating to all points of

the nation; and unexcelled air transportation frorn one of the world's largest airports.

WORLD COMMERCE: San Francisco is a rvorld trading post where goods of the West are gathered and distributed around the earth-and where the world's goods, in turn, are imported, distributed and trans-shipped. Nlore than 70 shipping lines regularly use this port. They contact at least 300 of the world's ports. San Francisco Bay is foremost in tonnage (estimated at 47 million) of waterborne commerce among Pacific Coast ports. $2O million is currently being spent on San Francisco's port improvement program.

FINANCE: An impressive portion of the world's finance is controlled from the "Wall Street of the \Vest"-Mor,tgomery Street, San Francisco. Second ranking financial center of the nation and home of seven of the nation's 100 largest commercial banks, The City is also headquarters for the 12th Federal Reserve District.

LABOR-MANAGEMENT RELATIONS: Thel''re good ! Here's fact, not fiction: The City's labor-management reiations have a long history o{ contractual agreements, mature labor leadership and labor-management cooperation in affairs of the community. SAN FRANCISCO IS ONETHIRD BELO\A/ THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IN PERCtrNTAGE OF WORKERS INVOLVED IN STRIKES during the period 1947-51.

DOMESTIC TRADE: Concentrated in San Francisco are tremendous regional supply bases: The City sells more than trvice the amount of goods at wholesale per capita than any other major city in California. Over $4 billion in .goods are sold by San Francisco's 4,000 rvholesalers each year. 1,6(X) branch offices of national and regional firms make this city the largest branch office center in the entire West.

REAL ESTATE ACTMTY: Deeds recorded in San Francisco during the single month of March 1953, numbered 1,747-€.4 per cent above March of 1952; total for the first quarter-4,718; 1.4 per cent above last year. Construction permits for March rvere valued at $5,839,62787.1 per cent above l\{arch of last year! The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has had an active part in these :rdvances. Communicate with them at 333 I'ine Street, San Francisco 4, California, for general information concernirrg the City.

The Strange Case of Philippine Mahogany

Not since the first shipments of magnificent Philippine hardrvoods began finding their s'ay across the I'acific to the West Coast of this country, has a situation arisen in any way comparable to the one that prevails today.

I)uring World War Two the Japs invaded the Philippines and ruthlessly put out of commission most of the lumber production of the Islands. Since the end of the rvar production facilities of Philippine lumber have been slorvly improving and increasing, and the iruporters from the U.S. have been steadily returning a greater and better volume of Philippine Mahogany. Now comes the changed situation'

Instead of cutting their logs into lumlter and offering the lumber for sale as in the past. because of certain economic and tax conditions nou' prevailing, a great portion of the timber now being cut in the Islands is being sold in the log, chiefly to Japan, and cut into lumber and plyrvood in Japan, by the Japanese importers. The reason most of this log production goes to Japan is that the Japanese offer higher prices for logs than Americans, rvho rvould be glad to buy the logs and bring them in this direction, feel that they can afiord to pay. And lr,hen the Americans raise their price offers, the Japs do the same. keeping them higher and thus getting the bulk of the logs being exported from the Philippines.

In Japan these logs are being converted into lumber and plyu'ood. With regard to the latter. American importers n'ho are deeply interested in r'vhat goes on, say that the Japs have installed the best of modern plyrvood making equipment, they use the most modern methods of operation such as slicing and gluing, and, rvith tireir lo'rv rvage scale they turn out good plyu'ood at verr. lorv cost.

'fhe Jap made lumber is purchased very largely by the American army and navy, and so is much of the plywood. The American importers, anxious to buy as much Philippine lumber as possible, find themselves in competition u.ith a very powerful competitor-the U.S. Government.

With regard to the situation in the I'hilippines, this cl.range from making lumber to simply selling logs, is reportecl to be doing great damage to the l'hilippine economy. They are losing the employment as u'ell as the payroll, r'r'hich is very serious. The I'hilippine people them-

selves do not view this too seriously. They are inclined to 'be considerably free from ambition. and to be able to sarv down the trees, haul them to \\'ater, and then sell the logs there for good prices, appeals to them, in spite of the economic loss, and the payroll loss.

Then there is the tax situation u'hich has seriousll' hindered the development of lumber production in the Islancis. Those who would import improved san mill machinery and equipment find themselves paying a list of huge taxes on such imports. There is an Exchange Tax of 17 percent, coupled rvith a 2 percent License Tax, and a 7 percent Conrpensating Tax, the total of u,hich is staggering, and definitely slolvs dor.vn development of lumber manufacturing.

LeRoy H. Stanton, of Los Angeles. president of tr. J. Stanton & Son, has just returned irom a trip around the globe, and spent considerable time investigating the situation in the Philippines, and is convinced that unless solllething can be done to change the present serious conditions mentioned above. unpleasant things rvill happen to the entire Philippine-American bardt'oocl industry. So he u'rote a letter to Harold 8,. Stassen. Director of Mutual Security, at Washington, outlining his vien's on these matters in very interesting fashion. The follorving paragraphs are excerpts. They give a splendid portraval of the Philippine lumber situation:

"Dear Mr. Stassen, I have just returned to Los Angeles alter a globe-circling trip by air, u'hich included a t'tvo rveeks visit to the I'}hilippines and fir'e davs in Japan, and I am rvriting to you particularly in regard to the lumber situation in the former.

"Our company is one of the oldest importers of Philippine u'oods and from a selfish interest we are naturalll' much interested in the production of sarvn lumber lty l'hilippine labor in the Philippines. I have made these annual trips to the Islands for a number of years and have visited sawmill operations in various parts of Luzon and Mindanao and am. therefore, u.ell informed on the lumber and timlter sitrration and personally acquainted t'ith most of the timlter and sawmill operators. In fact, I am on very frienclly terms rvith the greater part of them, as I 'n'as fortunate enough to assist in the formation at Nlanila of a cl.rapter of <.rur lumber fraternity, the International Concatenated Order of

SIGII I.ABOR

Negotiolions were stqrted in l94l between the A.G,C. ond unions ol the six bosic lrodes to creote o responsible cenlrol body to work os o building trqdes covncil with lhe conlroctors.

When the mosler ogreement wos signed in the some yeor, E, K. Wood hod olreody been supplying controctors ond their croftsmen with quolity building moteriols for 4l yeors. Soys

Hoo-Hoo (rvith 'ivhich you are probably familiar, as our order is very rvell knorvn and active in your State oi Minnesota).

"I believe the situation in tl.re Philippines today in connection u'ith timber and the exportation of logs to Japan presents a terribly serious condition affecting the economic status of the Philippines, and believing wholeheartedly as I do in the superb leadership and statesn.ranship of President liisenhorver and in the splendid men he has aroun4 him, I do pray and hope that a ,careful survey will be made of the present set-up in the Islands, which is practically making it necessary for the timber operators there to ship nearly all of their logs to Japan (this amounts to approximatell' 40,000,000 ft. per month) to be manufactured there into lumber, a great part of which is sold to our American Army for use in Korea. Thus the Philippine economy is losing a large income in u'ages, which should be funnelling through Philippine u'orkers into purchasing porver and employment for Filipinos.

"I believe this condition, from what I have learned during my three annual r-isits, has been brought about largely through the effects of the Bell Act, which I have heard criticizecl so much by Philippine bllsinessmen. Certainly there is no question but that this tremendous exportation of logs ancl the shuttng down or restriction of cutting of the sarvmills has been caused by excessive production costs of sau'ing lumber as compared to the much lorver cost of exporting krgs. I am convinced that rhe 17/o Exchange Tax,.coupled rvith a 2/o L\cense Tax and a 7lb C<tmpensating Tax, making a total of 26/o, are the governing factors, and to me it seems a misguided policy for the Government there to put road blocks in the way of production u'hich u.ill employ thousands of Filipinos with good daily wages. As things norv stand the sawrnill operators must pay this Exchange Tax on all machinery, equipment, lnd supplies brought into the country, along rvith these other taxes mentioned, and this simply brings the cost of producing lumber to a point rvhere the timberman must export the logs and, therefor, the Filipinos are losing this tremendous income in n,ages.

"I believe, Mr. Stassen, that we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to orlr Filipino friends, who loved and respect the American flag, and rvho have stood with us through thick and tl.rin. and certainly this present situation is affecting the n'elfare of thousands of Filipinos and I believe has a consiclerable llearing on the trouble rvith the Huks. Cer-

tainly a greater distribution of money through 'ivages u'ill have a great effect on the situation over there.

"I heard from one of my lumber friends that the Chairman of the Investigating Committee, whicl-r vou sent over, had talked at length 'ivith him and asked a lot of questions, so I am sure by no\\'yotl are thoroughly cognizant of the waste and inefficiency of the NfCS group over there employed by the Truman regime, and I hope with all my heart that our good, down-to-earth policies and u'ise, practical methods lvill get around soon to extending all possible aid of the right sort to our lrhilippine brothers as most of the people over there still feel that they are a part of our country. Respectfullv yours, LeRoy Stanton, President."'

My Mother

Someone I love comes back to me

With every gentle face I see; Beneath each wave of soft grey hair

I seem to see my mother there. With every kindly grace and word

It seems as if I must have heard

FIer speak, and felt her tender gaze With all the love of olden days. And I am moved to take her hand, And tell her now I understand How tired she grew beneath the strain Of feeling every loved one's pain. No further burdens could she bear, The promise of that Land more fair Alone could tempt her from her child; And now, if I could keep her here, No sacrifice could be too dear.

No tempered winds for her too mild. Then I would smooth and kiss her face, And b-v her side take my old place, And sob my fears and cares away.

The tears I have so long repressed

Would lose their ache upon her breast; I think if I could feel her touch

Once more, it would not matter much How sunny, or how dark the day.

-Author lfnknown.

It's the Doer That Counts

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out why the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat; who strives valiantly and may fail again and again; because there is no effort without error ' and short-coming; but who does actually strive to do th€ deeds; who does know the great enthusiasm, the great .devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of great achieveanent; who, -at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

-Theodore Roosevelt.

Tired Doctor

It was two in the morning. The doctor had been on his feet twelve consecutive hours and he was dead tired. Just as he slid into bed, and reached up to turn out the light, the phone rang.

"Dammit !" said the weary Doctor. "There's one born every minute."

Why We Should Hqve Art Museums

Most men mistake being alive, for living.

The most of what we hear, we fail to understand. We labor, that we may gorge ourselves and sleep with the kitchen cat and the stable dog.

A comrnunity is as rich as its understanding of the use of riches.

We grieve for the few in the asylums for the mad, and heed not the wanton waste of sound minds.

A great city is a prison house unless it provides something for the leisure hours.

The busiest city on earth is fast asleep unless it is doing something toward the higher education of its people. Work should be a means of leisure in which we enjoy the sublime creations of science, literature, music, and art.

No city is great unless it rests the eye, feeds the intellect, and leads its people out of the bondage of the commonplace.

Hospitals do much; they make sick men well. Art does more: it makes well men better.-Grate Stevens.

No Statue

"Oh, Daddy, see the statute on top of the tower." "Sh-, son, that's not a statue; that's a carpenter."

Tomorrow

He was going to be all that a mortal should be, ' Tomorrow.

No one should be kinder or braver than he. Tomorrow.

A friend who was troubled and weary, he knew, Who'd be glad of a lift, and who needed it, too, On him he would call and see what he could doTomorrow.

Each morning he stacked up the letters he'd write, Tomorrow.

And thought of the folks he would fill with delight, Tomorrow.

It was too bad, indeed, he was busy today, And hadn't a minute to stop on his uiay, More time he would have to give others, he'd say, Tomorrow.

The greatest of workers this man would have been, Tomorrow.

The world would have known him had he ever seen, Tomorrow.

But the fact is he died and he faded from view, And all that he left here when living was through, Was a mountain of things he intended to doTomorrow.

Boker Boosts Yolo County Redwood

Walter Baker, \\roodland Lumber Company, Woodland, Yolo County, California, now claims that neck of the woods to be Redu'ood-gror'ving territory. And he proves his claim by a picture and story that recently ap;ieared in the local paper, the Woodland Democrat. This article proves, according to Mr. Baker, that "what grows anywhere, grows everyu'here in Yolo County."

The storv itself is a signed article by one Patricia Sikes. And it ain't a bad job of writin' (if you'll excuse the ain't). Accorcling to this story Mr. and Mrs. Luther DuBois, of Woodland, obtained a three-inch-tall seedling from Dr. Ralph Chaney. head of the paleontology department of the University of California, at Berkeley. This was in 1950. They planted the tiny tree on the iau'n in front of the high school agricultural building in Woodland.

The little tree $'as planted scientifically, alayer of gravel, then a layer of loam over the gravel, and then layers of Redu,oocl leaf loam brought from the coast Redwood forests. For tl.re first vear a constant drip of water rt'as kept on the plant.

Why all the fuss ? Because this is one of the most precious of trees. It is a Darvn Redwood, true name metasequoia' Norv to quote direct from the story: "30 or 40 million years ago," according to a published report by Dr. Chaney entitled 'Redrvoods of the Past,' the climate in the Western States had grown sufifrciently temperate to eliminate most of the tropical trees lr,hich had earlier grovl'n here. Replacing these, the Dau'n Redwoods moved dorn'n from the North. Scientists have since been able to reconstruct a forest unlike any now living." Chaney tvrites, 'a forest in which Dau'n Redu'oocls. like those now living in China, were mingled s'ith trees such as the Redrvoods of California.'

"The most spectacular of the remains of those fossil Redlvoods may be seen in the Petrified Forest of Sonoma County, California, 15 miles east of Santa Rosa. Here giant logs, buried in the rock, have long since changed to stone. Of tn'o facts the scientists are certain : the Dawn Redwoods have disappeared from tl.re n'hole of the earth except in several secluded counties in Central China. And the

Coast Redwoods are confrned to the borders of California and Oregon. They have not, as yet, found out why."

Then the story goes on to tell hou', in 1944, Chinese scientists reported finding Darvn Redwoods in the interior of their country. Dr. Chaney and Dr. Milton Silverman, together made a terrific trip into China, and there located and described the last earthly stands of the Darvn Redwoods. Seedlings lvere brought back to the United States and given some distribution, and one of them is now grorving in front of the high school at Woodland. From the height of 3 inches when they got it, the tree is now 12 feet tall, and a strong, vigorous plant. It is a deciduous tree, shedding its leaves in rvinter.

There it stands, and promises to become a big, hne tree. And remember, it is one of the oldest things on earth, part of a family that has lived 3O to 40 million years.

A bouquet to Walter Baker for sending the story to THE CALIFORNIA I-UI\{BER I\{ERCHANT.

Betler Fire Weother Forecosting Discussed qr RRCC Meeting

E,ureka, June 17-Better fire weather forecasting was one of the main topics discussecl at a Forest Fire Roundtable meeting at Benbor,v Inn, Garberville, June 13.

The meeting was sponsored by the Redr,r,ood Region Conservation Council in the interest of forest fire prevention. and rvas attended by state and federal forest officials and representatives of the forest industry. A. H. Merrill, Hammond Lumber Company forester and chairman of the Redu'ood Region Conservation Council fire prevention committee, presided.

Forecasting of fire .lveather during the forest fire season n'ill be improved this year, according to Chairman Merrill. Daily forecasts, broadcast by the U. S. Forest Service, in coordination with the State Division of Forestry, U. S. \Veather Bureau and the Redrvood Region Conservation Council. rvill l>e made at Crescent City, Eureka, Ukiah, Fort Bragg and Santa Cruz throughout the summer fire season. Forecasts .r,r'ill shou, daily changes in fire danger as affected by temperature, relative humidity. wind velocity, and fuel moisture. and n'ill .i"u'arn the public to be especially careful during periods of high danger.

C. C. Buck, technician at the U. S. Forest and Range Experiment Station, Berkeley, attended the meeting to help region lumber companies u.ith problems of setting up private rveather stations.

Stations are operated b1- Hammond Lumber Company at Big Lagoon, Simpson Logging Company, Klamath, and

Nlasonite Corporation, Ukiah, and a nen' station .lvill be started tl-ris year by Dolly Varden Lumber Company of Arcata. These stations, in addition to others maintained b1' the U. S. Forest Service and the State Division of Forestry, all provide information for the fire rveather forecasts.

Other subjects discussed at the meeting included administration of the Forest Ilractice larvs by the State Division of Forestry, and fire protection problems common to industry, state, and federal agencies.

Distribution of fire prevention materials in the region u'ill probably hit a nerv high tl'ris year, Nlerrill said. The Redu.ood Region Conservation Council plans to clistribute more than 200,000 pieces of material, in addition to many thousands by the State Division of Forestry and the U. S. Forest Service.

One of tl're purposes of the Forest Fire Roundtable is to effect a greater feeling of cooperation betrn'een industry, state, and federal officials in fire protection and prevention problems, Nlerrill said. "And in this regard we can certainly call the meeting a distinct success," he concluded.

Four Veterqn Lumbermen Retire

Four veteran lumbermen 'il ill retire from tl-re service of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association on June 3oth, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president. The four have a combined service to the lumber industry of 113 years.

Oldest in point of service is ltalph D. Brown, one of the west's best known lumber figures, who has been assistant secretary manager of \\ICLA for many years' and who came to the association in 1913.

A 34-year veteran is Emil Hanson, who joined the association in 1919 to work in the traffic department. He has been assistant traffic manager.

Another traffic veteran is freight claims agent W. E. Franklin, r,vho first went to 'ivork for WCLA in 1918, and after trvo short stays as lumber company traffic manager rvith tu'o leading steamship firms. came back to the lumber trade group in 1936 to stay.

Fourth executive being retired is Paul E. Kendall, WCLA advertising manager since 1946, and nationally known lumber promotion authority for over four decades.

Ralph Brown's career in lumber dates back to 1909 when he u'as associated with the Tacoma Mill Company in an executive capacity. In 1913 he went with the fledgling West Coast Lumbermen's Association and in the ensuing 40 years has had an important part in shaping industry promotion programs, in developing association operating methods, and many other services. He early rvorked out a reinspection service for fir mills. I{e served as'secretary to a number of OPA price list committees during World \\rar II and helped government agencies buy lumber.

Brou'n is known u'idely among western lumbermen, having been a frequent caller at sar,r'mills in the Douglas fir region for the past forty years. He developed the barometer method of reporting the industry's statistical position, and is responsible for many other innovations in association activities. He has been a veritable vvalking dic-

tionary of industry facts ancl figures and has knou'n most of the colorful personalities of the industry of the past half century.

Emil Hanson has played a leading role in the past third of a century in every battle to hold lumber freight rates in line. He has taken part in seven freight rate increases. He helped develop the lumber freight rate book published by WCLA and said to be one of the finest commodity rate books issued by any industry. He has been actir-e in traffic organizations.

Paul E. Kendall, in over forty years of active lvork in the lumber industry, has held rvith credit several major lumber promotion jobs. He served as advertising lrlanager of The Long-Bell Lumber Company for fifteen years' starting in 1919, and r'r'as active 'rvhen the company \Yas building the city of Longvierv.

He was secretary-manager of the National Door Manttfacturer's Association, in charge of farm sales development for the Johns-Manville Sales Companv, and served in an executive capacity with the merchandising institute of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

Kendall has managed the nation-t'ide West Coast woods promotion campaign since its inception in 1946. It has been one of the most successful lumber exploitation programs undertaken on a national level. Under his direction the program has grown each year. Full-color advertisements have attracted a record number of customer inquiries, reaching a total of 46,000 in the month of March, 1953. Many of the prospective customers for lttmber say they have been sold on. lumber as a result of the continuing series of high quality, colorful and informative advertisenrents.

Kendall, Hanson and Franklin har.e not annottttced their future plans, but it is certain these men rvill not lle content to let their talents and skills long remain idle. Ralph Brown will take an extended autotnrtllile trip through,eastern states.

Teco Reviews Lumber Grcrdes For Governmenl

Washington-Improved lumber and wood product specifications are enabling manufacturers to meet government requirements more readily, as a result of rthe specifications review being conducted for the Corps of Engineers by wood technologists of Timber Engineering Company, according to Carl A. Rishell, director of this research affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Manufacturers have been hesitant in bidding on or accepting some of the government contracts, because of difficulties in obtaining sufficient amounts of lumber grades and species required by federal specifications, for large quantities of firrniture and other items for the military. This created a procurement problem, resulting in the Corps of Engineers requesting Teco to review all specifications involving wood, and recommend revisions that would expedite procurement.

"Approximately one thousand of these specifications, covering hundreds of products made entirely or partly of wood, have been reviewed in the past 24 months," said Mr. Rishell. "Many of these have already been revised to conform to the recommendations made by the technologists of our research laboratory. In addition to enabling manufacturers to fill the orders and speed up procurement, the revised specifications are saving millions of dollars for the government annually, without reducing the quantity or quality of the products.

"Higher and more expensive grades of lumber than necessary were required by many of the specifications," Mr. Rishell continued. "'Most of these were prepared years

ago by men thoroughly familiar with the end product and its service requirements, but having little technical knowledge of the characteristics and potentials of numerous wood species.

"Also, technological progress through wood research, in recent years, has changed many conceptions reflected in the original specifications. It has developed a variety of new wood materials of equal or superior quality than those previously used."

Throughout the specifications review, Teco technologists have followed the policy of recommending general reductions in the grades of wood specified for all possible items, suggesting glued laminated instead of solid wood parts where feasible, and proposing additional species for inclusion in new specifications. Lowering the grades and raising the number of acceptable species, in both hardwoods and softwpods, not only opens up contracts for the manufacturers at a savings to the taxpayer, but is highly beneficial to the lumber industry, Mr. Rishell pointed out.

Top grades of lumber in a few species have consistently ready markets, while lower grades and many good species are often difficult to move. The applications of modern treating, gluing and bending techniques are giving tremendous impetus to the use of virtually all commercial grades and species.

Harvey W. Koll, popular member of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club, and Mrs. Koll are planning their annual vacation now that Hoo-Hoo has adjourned for the summer months. During the season Harvey is too busy with club activities to make any personal plans. They will be gone several weeks on an automobile trio.

lnteresling New Fredonio Mill

When the U.S. Forest Service decided to promote the removal of timber from the somen'hat inaccessible Kaibob National Forest in Northern Arizona, it developed a program considered likely to interest substantial sat'mill investors. It succeeded. It spent over half a million dollars building a road from the timber to Fredonia, and it stipulated that the mill that would get this timber to cut must be located at Fredonia, this for various good reasons.

The Kaibob Lumber Company rvas the result of a deal made with a highly respected sarvmill concern named Whiting Brothers, of Holbrook, Arizona. They built and have in operation a double band sau'mill that is no'rv cutting about 100,000 feet of Ponderosa Pine timber from the Kaibob National Forest, claily. Under the deal the company is allowed to cut 25 million feet annualiy, and tire supply is expected to be perpetual.

Fredonia is a little desert to'n'n 200 miles from anv railroad.

Ho'ivever, some portions of the year this air drying is very slo,lv and although good for common grades, causes excessive degrade of the clear and shop grades due to splits, cup, trvist and check.

After carefully analyzing this degrade problem, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Nagel, owners, and George Brown, manager, decided that Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns would reduce the loss from degrade, properly set pitch and recondition lumber for remanufacture and provide them with a means by 'ivhich they could produce a better manufactured product throughout the year. The kilns were com-

The Nagel Lumber & Timber Company have operated for many vears and have continually striven towards the manufacture of properly sawn, seasoned and manufactured forest products. In addition to the sarvmill, drv kilns, manufacturing facilities and car loading equipment, the Nagel operation also has truck shipments for deliveries as rvell as eastern consumers.

The two nerv Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns are of the single track design and each kiln holds 24 packages of 16' lumber. Tracks at both ends of the Kiln facilitate loading and unloading as the kilns are operating 24 hours per day and 30 days a month.

Notable features of the kilns include:

(1) Eight 72" f.ans in each kiln for high volume and velocity air circulation r,l'ith one motor for minimum cost and mantenance of electrical circuits.

(2) Automatic control through Moore Master Recorder-Controller from maintenance of desired n'et and dry bulb. Water vapor removed from the lumber during the drying stages is used for maintaining the desired humidity through vent control, yet steam from the boiler is available for use during "equalization" and "reconditioning" periods.

(3) Kiln buildings constructed of pumic block walls, reinforced concrete door fronts and transite insulated roof for minimum heat loss and insurance rates. The kilns are also equipped with Moore Jumbo flood systems for protection in case of fire.

(4) Steam heating system ol 2" steel fin pipe for use with 10-15 PSI steam. These coils provide minimum cost of installation and have a thicker pipe wall for greater life.

(5) Steam generated by a Gabriel package ScotchMarine type boiler sold and installed under the supervision of Tamco E,ngineers of San Francisco. This boiler operating on natural gas at a pressure of 10-15 PSE is fully automatic with complete condensate return system and installed for unattended operation around the clock. The two kilns at present are handling only upper grades but can be used for common or dimension work, according to Byron W. Branstetter. assistant superintendent.

North Bank.

The historic Cowlitz region is nearly all evergreen countr1', forest land forever, reaching away west to Willapa Bay, at'av east to the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, St. Helens and Adams Mountains, ancient Vancouver and with Camas. the paper town, around the river bend.

Betlveen the national forests, high on the west slope of the Cascades, and the Pacific are the great industrial tree farms of the Long-Bell Lumber Company and the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, with like forestry enterprises of the Crou'n Zellerbach Corporatior, on the fringes of the Cou'litz scene. On the Cowlitz there are Castle Rock and Kelso. On the Columbia shines the beauty of the model industrial community planned by Robert Alexander Long and his Long-Bell Lumber Company associates, then built b1' them rvhen they moved up from Southern forests in the earlv 1920s.

New Age of Forest Fiber

The \\'eyerhaeuser Timber Company,, principal timber owner of the region, opened a second sawmill at Longvierv in l9D, giving the nerv city the two "biggest sawmills in the world." The Longview Fibre Company became the community's third large forest product enterprise, utilizing items of rvood that had been logging and sawmill leftovers in the common course of lumbering because of unmarketabllrtv.

W.y".h"".rser built a woodpulp production plant, and other plants through the years 1930-1950, to make everything from rvood that might find a market-even turning out bark products at last. The Long-Bell Lumber Company likervise made steady progress in wood utilization.

These enterprises, resulting from engineering, chemical

PEGGY GREENWOOD SCOII GOUTD DEI, TRAVIS

and other technical forest products research, have not only added to wages and dividends-and to taxes, of coursewith every board foot of wood rescued from logging and sawmill scrap piles, but have fortified the forestry management programs in the timber.

Dead snags and windfalls, for example, are now largely salvaged and utilized. Grades of logs that in the 1920s could not be made to yield marketable lumber or plyu'ood, now go forth to be converted into forest fiber and bark products for which intensive national sales promotion and advertising have made market accetpance.

Tokens of Tomorrow

All through the Douglas fir, and the pineries too, the o\t''ners of woods and mills, old and new, large and small, have taken heart from the faith that brought Longview into being at the turn of the 1920s, and from the works in forest products development and in tree far mforestry for permanence of the enterprises that have followed.

New products of wood, new machinery and production techniqes, new markets, new product values discovered in prevalent species that once were termed "weed {1sss"tlre West Coast hemlock, the lodgepole pine-new realizable values in young growth on old cutovers, new rvood conversion processes, as for the making of molasses, sugar and ethyl alcohol from sawdust, and,woodpulp production residuals, new forces of defense against the forest fireof such are the substantial prospects for the future of man's use of Washington State's entire 19,874pril acres of "commercial forest land."

The lost lands are being found again. The big burns are greening up. The cutovers are coming back.

Iniunclion Forbids Pickeling

On June 4th Judge John A. Hewicker granted a permanent injunction to the Valley Lumber Company, of Escondido, California, against picketing by two building trade unons, and ordered the unions to pay the firm $1,000 for past picketing.
