Oregon-Pacific Establishes Truck - Trailer Fleet

Oregon-Pacific Forest Products Corporation, a Portlandbased lumber and plywood firm which distributes throughout the United States, has augmented its distribution service by setting up its own fleet of trucks and trailers to make deliveries in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, IJtah, Wyoming, Colorado and Nevada.

The new service, in operation several months, rounds out Oregon-Pacific's shipping program which includes heavy rail and water movements.

Oregon-Pocific Forcrt Products Corporolion of Portlond, Oregon, is now operoling its own fieet of truckc qnd trqil.rs in delivering lurnber ond plywood prcductr to declers in eight we3lcrn stotes. fruck-lrciler obove is loqded with dimenrion lumber for delivery in soulheoslern Oregon

Dealers within trucking range of the Pacific Northwest lumber-producing areas strongly favor this type of delivery, Jack J. Saltzman, president of Oregon-Pacific, pointed out. It is often faster for dealers who are located away from rail lines, and in many cases material can be shipped directly to the job site, making it unnecessary to re-haul from the dealer's yard. The trucks also provide an alternate means of transportation when suitable rail cars are in tight supply.

Oregon-Pacific is operating its trucks on regular schedule into certain areas lvhich will make it easier for dealers to program their orders and maintain balanced inventories.

A11 types of lumber products are moved by the OregonPacific trucks-regular and special plywoods, hardwood plywoods, construction lumber, large timbers and special orders. In its Portland concentration warehouse, the company maintains a broad range of plywoods and cedar products, providing great flexibility in the prompt filling of truckload orders.

Another feature of the truck delivery system is OregonPacific's ability to make shipments direct to dealers from Inland Empire and British Columbia mills, giving faster service to dealers who use substantial amounts of lumber from those sources, lNvHf,utw dilwnl uNuolllvf, We're going topsy-turvy over Nqlionql forest Producls Week, October 15-21 !

Soft-textured woods like White Fir and Engelmann Spruce have been found durable and economical in the exacting use of truck decking.

Word just reached us that Joan of Arc's last phrase was: "I'm smoking more now, but enjoying it less."

Voltqire And Guest

Voltaire was at a gathering, and a friend, pointing to one of those present, asked him: "'Who is that man?"

"I don't know," said the brilliant Frenchman, "but I hate him."

"Why," said his friend, surprised, "how can you hate him if you don't know him?"

"That's why I hate him," said Voltaire, "because I don't know him."

Edgar Guest must have had this thought in mind when he wrote:

"When you know a fellow, know his every mood and whim, You begin to find the texture of the splendid side of him, You begin to understand him and you fail to scoff and sneer, For with understanding, always, prejudices disappear. You begin to find his virtues, and his faults you fail to tell, For you seldom hate a fellow if you know him very well."

Pros

A widower was to be married for the third time, and his bride had also been married before.

The groom-elect wrote across the bottom of the wedding invitations-"Be sure and come; this is no amateur performance."

"And you, sir," he said, "made the first talking machine?"

"No," Mr. Edison replied, "the first one was made long before my time-from a rib."

Herbert Spencer On Thinking And Heqlrh

Herbert Spencer, the great English philosopher and naturalist, taught that our thinking and our well-being are inseparably allied to one another; that "as a man thinketh, so is he," is a practical everyday fact of living and enjoying life.

He believed that cheerful, happy emotions are comparable to sunshine on plant growth-they create health and harmony, and as such, are constructive., Good will, he declared to be sanitary; kindliness to be hygienic; friendship works for health. These happy emotions secrete, said Spencer, a quality in the blood called anabolism, which is essentially vitalizing and life producing.

On the other hand, fear, hate, and all emotions of unkindliness evolve a toxin which tends to clog circulation, disturb digestions, congest the secretions, and stupify the senses; and aims to the dissolution and destruction of life. He believed that all that embitters, saddens, and disappoints produces a chemical change that makes for disaster, and hurries death.

"A poison," said Spencer, "is only a concentrated form of hate."

Swirched The Rhyme

Little four-year-old Bobby was. mighty sleepy, but his mama insisted that he say his prayers anyway before he crawled into bed. So he knelt at her knee, and started:

"Now I lay me down to sleep-

I pray the Lord my soul to keep-"

And then the tousled head dropped on her knee, and he was in the land of Nod. But she roused him with a loving shake, and prompted him:

"If, Bobby, if-"

And Bobby wakened enough to resume, "IF-he hollers, let him goEenie, meenie, minee, mo."

lf I Should Die Tonighr (Resurrected)

If I should die tonight

And you should come to my cold corpse and kneel Clasping my bier to show the grief you feelI say if I should die tonight

And you should come, in deepest grief and woe, And say, "I{ere's that ten dollars that I owe";

If I should die tonight,

And you should come to my cold corpse and sayWeeping and heartsick o'er my lifeless clay; I say if I should die tonight,

And you should come to me, and there and then Just even hint 'bout paying me that tenI might arise the whileBut I'd drop dead again.

Dry Kiln Operolor's frlqnuol Awiloble

Solutions to many problems of lumber drying and dry kiln opera- tion and maintenance can be found in the Dry Kiln Operator's Manual, Agriculture Handbook No. 188, a new publication just issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The 197-page illustrated manual was authored by E. F. Rasmussen, dry kiln specialist at the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, with contributions from wood seasoning experts at the Laboratory and other units of the Forest Service.

Directed primarily to owners and operators of dry kilns, the manual also contains information on the theory and practice of kiln drying, making it especially valuable as a text to students of wood technology, dry kiln manufacturers, and producers of wood products in general.

The Forest Products Laboratory pioneered research on modern forced-air-circulation dry kilns in the twenties and holds basic public patents on them. The Dry Kiln Operator's Manual summarizes much research and development done since that time, both at the federal laboratory and elsewhere.

All aspects of wood seasoning are covered to some extent in this manual. Such subjects as how wood dries and the various properties of wood related to drying, types of kilns and kiln equipment, inspection and maintenance of dry kilns and equipment, and kiln operation are described in detail. Thorough treatment is also given to information regarding the storage of wood, stacking lumber and other items for kiln drying, loading the kiln, and kiln schedules and drying times.

Copies of the Dry Kiln Operator's Manual may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office,

Washington 25, D.C., for $1 cash or money order (stamps not accepted).

Big Interest Continues ln Redwood

The remarkable grovvth of interest in redwood lumber in the past ten years is reflected in the 10,132 requests for literature received by the California Redwood Association in May-the highest monthly total ever, more requests than the 45-year-old Association received in any year before 1950, and more than the grand total for the four-year period 1945 through 1948.

More than ll00 of the letters received in May were from architects and builders. The rest were from homeowners and prospective homeowners, lumber dealers, manufacturers, and such people as members of church building committees. The more than 400 letters asking for information on conservation subjects is indicative of the widespread interest in the forest management being given to timber stands of the Redwood Region.

The May total marked the second time this year that literature requests received by CRA set a new record. A total of 7,833 letters were received in March, breaking the old record of 7,580 set in May, 1960. Prior to May, 1960, no monthly total had reached 7,0O0.

More than 32,000 literature and information requests have been received by CRA in the first five months of this year, 8,000 more than in the corresponding period of 1960.

The flood of letters into the California Redwood Association indicate renewed interest in building and remodeling, and growing interest in building with wood, and redwood in particular. Most of the letters are in response to CRA advertisements, publicity, or other promotion.
