;'Fresident'Signr Rent Bill-Measure

''l'Alro Ends Most Building Controls , President Truman signed a modified rent-control bill on June 30. The signing of this bill also ends all 'construction controls, excepting on buildings to be used for amusement or recreational purposes.

lJnder the Rent Control provisions in this bill, all housing completed after February l, 1947, will be exempt from rent control, except where a person contracted to build a rental house for a World War II veteran and used priorities to obtain materials. Such a house will be subject to the maximum rent established when the priority was issued. even though it was completed after February 1,7947. Also 'exempt is any property that was not rented for resideqtial purposes between February l,1945 and January 31,1947.

All other housing will be subject to rent'control until February 28, 1948 and will remain at the June 30, 1947 levels with the following exceptions: The Housing Expediter may readjust the rent; the landlord and tenant may enter into a valid lease which will not expire until December 31, 1948, which may increase the rent up to l5/o; the five-man local Advisory Board, appointed by the Housing Expediter in each regional area, is given authority to adjust individual cases.

In New Locqtion The Suburban Lumber Yard, Yucca Village, rvhich was located about a mile west of town when first established, has moved to its nerv plant in the center of the Village.

Willitr Redwood Products Company's Sawmill Now in Operation After one year spent in construction the neiv and modern all-steel, all-electric band sawmill of the Willits Redwood Products Co. at Willits, Calif. is now operating on a oneshift basis. The mill capacity is 6O,00O feet in an S-hour shift. Logs in the pond and in cold deck make up a total of about 6,000,000 feet.

An innovation in the Redwood industry is that the shotgun feed works by ,compressed air.

With large timber reserves this company has a sustained yield operation. The yard site covers 40 acres, and it is the intention of the owners to eventually dry and refine the greater part of their cut. The planing mill in conjunction supplies surfaced lumber.

Russell Ells is president and general manager of the company. J. Harold Robinson is secretary and treasurer.

All sales are handled by Hobbs Wall Lumber Company, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco 4. Telephone GArfield 7752.

Portland, Oregon, June 12.-Lumber orders in the Douglas fir region for the frrst 22 weeks of 1947 were great-

'er than those for a similar period during any peacetime

*-l

a

year since 1930, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Cbast Lumbernren's Association. announced today.

Orders for the 1947 per\od totalled 3,071,898,000 board feet, an increase ol 541,778,W0 feet ovgr the total for the first 22 weeks of. 1946. Production also continued high, reaching 2,902,401,00O feet for the 2Z-week period in 1947 as against 2,61I,583,0W for 1946.

Average weekly production during I\fay was 134,416,000 board feet, Simpson said, a slight drop from Aprills rveekly average of 134,631,000.

, "The fact that high production is coupled with a continuing high volume of orders indicates a healthy condition in the industry," Simpson said. "So long as this balance exists, lumber's payrolls can maintain their contribution to the economic welfare of the region."

Weekly average of orders during May was 127,887,Om board feet; -shipments, 134,928,W. Weekly averages for April were orders, 130,591,000 b.f.; shipments, 135,156,000 b.{.

Orders for the first 22 weeks of. 1947 break down as fol-

owls: rail, I,925,802,000; domestic cargo, 355,217,000; ex-

ra9s

The Western Pine Association for the week ended June 28,93 mills reporting, gave orders as 71,703,000 feet; shipments, 57,969,000.feet, and production 63,701,000 feet. Or-' ders on hand at the end of the week totaled 165,366,000 feet.

Ne* Weyerh.erser Bark Plant Manulactures Valuable Products at Longview

The bark goes to the mill. .Workmen ct the Weyerhseuger bcrk products plcrnt, Longview, Wqsh., shovel bark lrom c huge pile thct lormerly would hcve been oI little commercicl vclue.

Commercial quantity production of five products mantlfactured from bark has started in a recently completed processing plant at Longview, Washington, it was announced today by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company..

This operation, tapping a new source of raw materials, is a significant step toward complete utilization of forest resources. Bark, long considered almost worthless in logging, represents approximately l2/o ol a sarv 1og. Under the Weyerhaeuser processes, bark now yields these main components: Cork flakes, short fibers, tissue powder, a cork-fiber combination and a cork-fiber-powdgr combination. These

materials have been proved valuable for a variety of uses, especially in the plywood glde,'plastics, insecticide and soil conditioning fields.

Processes which separate the bark ingredients were perfected by the Weyerhaeuser Development Department, set up in Longview in 1942. Only the thick bark of Douglas fir, predominant in Weyerhaeuser tree farm lands, is used in the ner,r' plant. Barks of all Pacific Coast conifers are usable, but, differing chemically and physically, they must be processed separately.

The bark products are being marketed nationally under (Continued on Page 6)

THE CATIFOR,NIA LUIITBER MERCHANT

New Weyerha euser Bark Plant (Continued from Page 4) the general trade name, Silvacon, by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. Salesmen now are working in the Eastern Seaboard, Mid-West, California, and Pacific Northwest areas. In addition to the operations at Longview, the Silvacon products are being warehoused and distributed by company branches at St. Paul, Minn., and Newark, N. J. Experimental amounts of Silvacon has been produced for several years in pilot plants. A series of grinding and screening steps convert the bark into the five Silvacon products, according to Clark C. Heritage, Technical Director, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. Complete details of the processing will be made available at a later date.

Machinery extends to the very top of the new plant, which is equivalent in height to a four-story building. It covers 7000 square feet of floor space.

Bark reaches the plant's upper level by conveyor and travels downward through processing equipment to a separate ground-level bagging station for each product.

Maximum capacity of the Silvacon plant, on a threeshift basis, is approximately 75,000 pounds a day-enough to fill ll freight cars, according to J. T. Rushton, general superintendent of Silvacon production.

Weyerhaeuser will sell most of the Silvacon output as raw materials to manufacturers and distributors, but plans to package certain consumer products. Among them is Topper, a soil conditioner composed of cork-like flakes.

Other consumer items still are undergoing exhaustive tests.

The Silvacon sales department is directed by R. D. Pauley, who is manager of the Development Department at Longview.

"Our 'company r,vill give practical assistance to anyone wishing to use Silvacon experimentally," Pauley said. Many companies and organizations already have assisted Weyerhaeuser in Silvacon use and consumer testing, he pointed out.

In explaining the latest utilization development of his department, Heritage gives much credit to the findings of many firms, groups and laboratories which for years have sought improved bark utilization. Considerable such progress was made by various Weyerhaeuser units.

Silvacon products are uniform in quality, predominantly brorvn in color, odorless and tasteless. Other information :

Cork-Known as Silvacon No. 383, this product consists predominantly of flake-like particles of cork ranging upward to rl inch in size. It is similar to commercial cork in most physical properties and contains'many highly reactive components; represents 20/o of. total production.

Fiber-Known as Silvacon No. 508, this product consists of stiff fibers, the hard tissue of tree bark, commonly described as bast fibers. The purity of this material and character of its fiber structure adapts it for use as a reinforcing filler in the manufacture of hard, high density products. It improves strength properties and minimizes ,shrinkage. Silvacon No. 508 is 10/o of production.

Powder--Known as Silvacon No. 490, this product consists of very finely powdered amorphoirs particles obtained primarily from the highly friable parenchymous tissue of bark. It is reactive toward alkali and various other chemical reag'ents, and its pl-rysical state allows it to be free-flowing and non-bridging. Silvacon No. 490 t"pi"sents lo/o of production.

Cork-fiber combination-(novn as Silvacon No. 412, this product is a physical combination of two of the basic constituents of tree bark, cork and lignified fibers. The particles of cork, similar in all respects to No. 383, except that they are smaller, blend with the stifi fibers, similar to No. 508, resulting in a product that is unique in many respects. In Silvacon No. 412, the properties of the individual components are put in combination for additional uses. No. 412 represents l5/o ol production.

Cork-fiber-powder combination Known as Silvacon - combination of three No. 472, this product is a physical basic constituents of tree bark, cork, lignified fiber and powder. The cork particles are similar to No. 383, except that they are smaller in size; the stiff fibers are similar to No. 508, and the powder is similar to No. 490. These put the properties of the individual 'components in combination to form another unique product, adding to Silvacon uses. No, 472 represents 45/o ol production.

American Saw Mill Machinery Company's ofifrces l-rave been moved to larger quarters at 2I9 Ninth Street, San Francisco 3, rvhere they also have a shorvroom.

IHE CATIFORNIA IUMEER A,IERCHANT

There are just two aristocracies in this world: the aristocracy of intellect, founded by God, and the aristocracy of wealth, founded by fools. Sir Thomas Overbury once wisely remarked that: "The man who has nothing to boast about but his illustrious ancestors, is like a potato-the only good thing about him, is underground."

+**

It was Damon Runyon who, taking note of the oft-quoted Biblical statement to the effect that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, remarked that it might be so, but in his opinion that was the way to bet your money.

*lrt<

To the lay mind, such things fail to make sense. It would seem so easy to announce to the worldr and all men and gov-

ernments therein that the United States will neither give, loan, trade, nor sell va,luable goods EXCEPT TO PEACEFUL NATIONS that are openly striving for world peace.

f g[ess that's too practical a thought. I offer it as a reso-

newspaper. Side by side are two articles of news. One of them warns this nation of gasoline and oil shortage and announces rationing in various states. The other article states that 12 huge Russian tankers are loading gasoline and oil for Russia, at tne Western port. And inside the leading editorial heading reads: "Russia deliberately blocks return of world peace." Honest,*now, is it strange people worry?

''

And another joker remarks that the cost of living has hit bottom; that is, if you can live on ball-point pens, alone. **t<

While more and more frequently we hear repeated the question : "Is the present period 'postwar' or 'prewar'?"

Many friendly letters l".J to this department.

Most of them praise the spirit ""]r,"g of optimism and good cheer that pervades these Vagabond columns, and did even through the trying years of war. We must admit there have been long stretches of time with the German War.Lords riding high that it was no easy task to write in optimistic, to say nothing of happy vein. *{<*

fn those days we used to tell ourselves that some day the war would be over and peace would once again spread her white wings over the earth and then it would be easy again to think happy thoughts and translate them into optimistic words. What a bum prediction that was !

Worlds of thinking n.oju ;.;or" deeply fearfut for the {ate of freedom today than they were then; more inclined to shudder at the shadow of the horrid Russian Bear than they were at the screaming of the mad little house-painter. **{<

Today there hangs over us the constant mention of a possible World War Three; the blackness and mystery of the atomic threat; and the heavy load of debt, and doubt, and ,dread, and world hunger. And so many of the things that 'worry us don't even make sense. **!k

For instance: before me is the front page of a morning

lution, notwithstanding.

* {c *

The newspapers tell us that to add insult to injury, some of those Russian tankers hauling awaJt our scarce gasoline were shipped to Russia by the United States via lend-lease, and have neither been paid for nor returned. Must diplomacy always mean appea".T""lt

* Lincoln uttered one of his immortal thoughts when he declared' that the great principle that has held the United States together is "that sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty not alone to the people of this country, but hope to all the world for all future time." ft's to back up that pledge that the United States is spending billions abroad today. Neither Hitler nor Stalin had any understanding of such unselfish ambitions, choosing to believe that we, like themselves, sought conquest.

On every hand these days I hear the comment that good stories and jokes are so very scarce, and men wonder why.

I think it is because of the times we are living in, and the threats that hang over the world. The First World War developed a million good stories that were heard in spite of the cannon's roar, and read in spite of war headlines.

World War Two did not develop half a dozen really good stories, all told.

{< {. *

And this postwar period is even less funn5r. That's why good stories are so few and far between. We hear a lot of "gags" over the air, but they are not stories, and most of them are not funny. We used to think that laugh-creators were divided into two parts; wit and humor. ff it wasn't one, it was the other. But the radio "gags" of today must have founded an entirely new school of thought, for, measured by accepted old-time definitions, they are neither wit nor humor. They are just "gags." And they are not of the (Continued on Page 10)

The movie industry could be of wonderful help in times like these by making and showing pictures that build morale and spread sunshine and good cheer. But the movies fail miserably along that line. Most of the offerings on the screen today are stories of drunkenness, depravity, murder, violence, intrigue, and general cussedness. fnstead of joy, happy thoughts, and inspiration, they hand us an unlimited quantity of groans, curses, and tears. Technically the movie industry ranks high. In the thinking department, it ranks lower than the proverbial whale's hips.

George M. Cohan, a genius of the entertainment world, used to say with regard to plays, songs, or stories, you should "always leave them laughing when you say goodbye." That's the sentiment we need today in our entertainment world. But we haven't got it. I have been looking to see Eric Johnson, movie Czar, crack the whip over the moving picture industry and advise them to cut out all the crime and gloom and make and show pictures that would follow George M. Cohan's advice. It could do a world of good in times like these. Laughter and song are the best medicine for individuals or nations. We could use a lot of

i. * * ft is very likely that no story of the sort ever printed

brought more smiles of satisfaction from both wood preservers and lumber manufacturers than one in the May issue of "The Wood Preserving News." Looks like both have smiles coming. ft appears from that account, printed with

illustrations, that the Santa Fe Railroad has just built a freight house 716 feet long in its yards in Kansas City, Mo., of timber construction. But the big story is that the timber used in this building, even for the foors, is used lumber, taken from Old Santa Fe structures, some of it thirty to forty years old. Part of it was reworked smaller than its previous size, and some was re-treated. All was very aged

stuff, but in the soundest and most useful condition. All of it had been treated before being used in the first place. Most of it was previously used in the construction of railroad bridges. When these obsolete structures were torn down, the materials were found to be in first class condition. The story mentions the use of both Pine and Fir in the new-old building.

AND NOW THE BARK. Only a short time ago progressive lumber manufacturers were $ront to remark that the day would come when they would find ways and means to utilize everything that came out of a log except the bark.

Now some of them are using the bark, as well. Many years ago, through laboratory research, The Pacific Lumber Company, of San Francisco, began selling valuable products made out of Redwood bark. They still do. Also, many years back, over in Mississippi, progressive lumber folks began making pressed board out of bark, and other sawmill waste; still a most successful enterprise. Later, other Pacific Coast interests began making board out of bark and other wood waste. And now the Weyerhaeusers have started operations at a big plant at Longview, 'Washington, where they use Fir bark to make five valuable products.

So the lumber industry, through the laboratory, makes

Progress.

,< *

{.

At Longview the Weyerhaeuser plant wastes no part of the Fir 1og. All slabs go to resaws and have all the good wood extracted from the now valuable bark. Dry sawdust goes into little pressed firewood logs. A huge remanufacturing plant cuts up what lumber doesn't make boards and planks. Two pulp plants take everything else. Short lumber is endlocked to make long lumber. Boards are side glued to make wide boards. Nothing is thrown away. And, they say, it will be more and more that way. Very low grade lumber can always make valuable pulp. Very high grade logs will be sliced for plywood. Yes, dear friends, even the bark goes now.

Forty-five representatives of manufacturers and associations in the building material field met at the Congress Hotel in Chicago on June 19 to discuss the industry programs for training and education which are sponsored by the NRLDA. General agreement was reached upon the objectives of the conference-the need, the form and the use of textbooks, visual aids and examinations. Plans for preparing and distributing these materials were established with an effort to have the presentations ready for September 15 of this year.

Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9, San Francisco, recently passed a resolution favoring LeRoy Stanton, E. J. Stanton & Son, Los Angeles, for Hoo-Hoo's top job, Snark of the lJniverse, for the next Hoo-Hoo year.

New General Manager at Ponderosa Pine In July Robert M. Bodkin lea'r'es Ponderosa Pine Woodrvork to bccome manager of Dyke Bros. and Cole Manufacturing Company's Western purchasing office in Portland, Oregon. He will be succeeded by E. W. Ruddick. Mr. Bodkin. u'ho rvas elected general manager of Ponderosa Pine Wood-

u,ork immediately a{ter the fornation of the Association in 1941, leaves behind him an outstanding record which has seen the Association grow until it nou' includes a large memberE. W. Ruddick ship of Ponderosa Pine producels and millrvork manufacturerers. Like his predecessor, Mr. Ruddick has been connected with lumber and lumber products for a good many years. He brings to his ner.v position an excellent background of executive ability.

Nfr. Ituddick began his business career in 1935 with the Wright Lumber Company of New York City, one of the oldest lumber concerns in New York. He worked there as a lumber handler, tallyman and mill hand, eventually be'corning a salesman calling on indrrstrial and commercial trade.

Mr. Ruddick became secretary and a director of this concern before leaving to take a position in Washington, D.C. as an industrial analyst on the staff of the Aircraft Production Board. In August 1945, he left the War Production Board and moved to Chicago to' take a position as regional sales promotional manager with TWA-Transrvorld Airlines.

Mr. Ruddick inherits from Mr. Bodkin a sound foundation which rvill make it possible for the Ponderosa Pine Woodu'ork Association to serve the industry more significantly thah ever in the coming years.

Kind Words From Iim Fcrley "f have come to have a little more respect and appreciation for people that accomplish things in the face of adversity or other discouraging conditions.

And so it is that I back up and take a look at THE CALII'ORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT rounding out a period of 25 years, the biggest part of which

has really been a period of adversity; because the lumber industry stubbed its toe about 1930, which was

something like eight or nine years after you started to function (just about 7 years as a matter of fact) and

has just caught its breath insofar as its relations to the regular trade is concerned, in the last year or two. And so I'd say THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT has been punching its way through for at least fifteen years out of the twenty-five. The fact that it has succeeded in keeping intact and growing during such a period of time is proof that it has something back of it more than a printing press and an editorial staff.

"I salute you and the whole sta.ff of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT, most of whom I number among my personal friends. I wish you the best of everything and congratulate you on the success you've made of the last quarter of a century. Best personal regards."

(Signed) Jim Farley, The Pacific Lumber Co..

Philippines Lift Embargo On Logs and Flitches President Roxas of the Philippine Islands has announced a lifting of the embargo against shipping logs and flitches from the Islands, effective July 15th, the order lasting a period of three months and ending Octobcr 15th. A minimum of 8 inches squarc is placed on such logs and flitches.

There has been no lifting of the embargo against shipping lumber from tl-re Islands, and there is none in sight.

The order lifling the embargo on logs and flitches specifies that no shipper can ship more than 2C per cent of his

production, the plar being to keep a maximum amount o[ timber in the Islrnds to make lumber for home consumption.

The early quotations on Philippine logs show prices that are almost prohibitively high, the range being from about $200 to $2,10 per thousand {eet, Doyle and Scribner scale.

It is too early as this is written to report horv these prices will be 'eceived in this country, but the Philippine irnporters on thc Pacific Coast express themselves as shocked at the altitude of the prices.

Celotex Corporation Donated Cemesto House to Aid Cancer Fund

Simpson Industries Take On Olympic Stained Shinsle Line Philip W. Bailey, president of the \Arest Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle,.manufacturers of Olympic stained shingles and shingle stains, announces that Simpson Industries, Inc., will distribute Olympic products from their warehouse in Los Angeles, a unit rvhich is managed by George S. Melville, and also in Southwestern Washington from their warehouse in Shelton, Wash. The Simpson plant at Shelton is managed by Harold Johns.

The Olympic stained shingle line is already distributed in eleven Western states and at some points in the East, but, until the recent conne,ction rvith Simpson Industries, Inc., it was not available in Southern California.

The West Coast Stained Shingle Company, rvith their main plant in Seattle, under the direction of Mr. Bailey, have developed several new formulas for shingle stain, in addition to new processes and methods of prestaining red cedar.shingles. They now manufacture a complete line of shingles and shakes for sidewalls and roofs.

All Olympic shingle stain formulas were recently revised to include an entirely nerv rvood preservative, called Toxal, in place of that which was formeily used. Mr. Bailey said that Toxal is the best known wood preservative against termites, rot and decay. Containing a base of pentachlorophenol, the new wood preservative prevents checking, curling and splitting rvithout bleeding or leaching readily.

Public interest in homebuilding is playing a helpful role

in the country's current all-out offensive against man's

great enemy-Cancer.

To aid the fund drive of the Damon Runyon Foundation for cancer research, The Celotex Corporation erected, furnished and donated to the Foundation a five room Cemesto pre-engineered house. Located at Columbus Circle in the heart of New York City, the house served as headquarters of the drive until its termination on June 30.

Completely erected in nine days, the house was officially opened on Sanday, May 10, when Bror Dahlberg, Celotex President, turned over the keys to the Runyon Foundation.

A charge of 25 cents for admission to the house went in its entirety to the Cancer Fund. The Foundation also conducted a contest to select a slogan that best expressed the objectives of the Cancer Research Organization. The writer of the best slogan was awarded the Cemesto House fully furnished and equipped and re-erected lanywhere he designates in the United States.

men's and Pacific Northwest Loggers Associations. More than 1,000 manufacturers of lumber and timber products from all sections of the country attended the Congress to discuss future plans for the lumber industry.

Wagner traced the history of the timber famine forecasts, beginning in 1819. He emphasized that the predicted shortages lrad failed to materialize, largely because the steadv

year-by-year growth of new forests had not been taken into account.

The forest situation, Wagner said, is constantly improvirg. He referred to the fact that between 1920 and 1944 the nation's total area of devastated forest land rvas reduced by 6,000,000 acres, although during that period 150,000,000 acres of 'forest land were cut in the normal course of logging operations.

"We have in this country adequate forest land to justify confidence that we will never exhaust ollr resources," \Magner told the Congress. "When we consider the full growth on all the trees in our forests, rve find that drain is being replaced by grorvth. This is the first forest inventory in our history which has shown that balance."

Wagner concluded his address with a plea for cooperation in a program to increase forest development.

"We urge," he said, "that our federal forest officials and spokesmen of other groups put an end to the famine talk and join the forest industries in an expanding program of education and example to bring into the fullest possible realization the trernendous potential grorving polver of our forest lands.

"Industry is au'akening to tl-re necessity of improving its own practices. A good start has been made, although there is and no doubt always will be much room for continued improvement."

E. A. Howard Edward A. Horvard, pioneer San Francisco Bay district lurnberman, passed away at his home in Oakland June 26,

Lumber br More Than 150 Years Wheeler Pine Co., San Francisco, manufacturers of Cali-

fornia pine lumber, and wholesalers of all West Coast woods, are successors to the first Wheeler lumber operations established in New York State in 1795. I. P. Wheeler, president and general manager of the company, a Yale graduate, is of the fifth generation of lumbermen in the Wheeler family. His father, John Egbert Wheeler, graduated from Yale in 1900 and started in the lumber business in Portland in 1905. At one time the Wheelers claimed to have held more redwood timber than any other concern, and to have been next to the largest holders in both pine and fir.

W. E. Wheeler, father of John Egbert, managed the family's lumber operations in Michigan, where they operated on a large scale. The original operation on the Delaware River, New York State, was founded by William Wheeler. The lumber was sawed by water power and delivered by raft to Philadelphia. His son, William F. Wheeler came out to the Allegheny River in 1834, and this concern rafted its lumber to Cincinnati, Louisville, and Pittsburgh for more than 60 years, until rail transportation did a quicker and better job.

The ,company's mill at Klamath Falls, Oregon, has a capacity exceeding 100,000 feet in an 8-hour shift. In addition Wheeler Pine Co., represents numerous mills in Northern California and in tl-re Willamette Valley, Oregon.

Sales offices are in the Russ Building, San Francisco. The telephone number is DOuglas 5223.

Purchcrses Additional Ycrd Spcce And Mckes Improvements J. E. Higgins Lumber Co., wholesale hardwood dealers, recently purchased a piece of property almo5t adjoining their yard at 99 Bay Shore Boulevard, San Francisco. The property fronts on Jerrold Avenue and contains 180,000 square feet, 'with two spur tracks and a good siding. The whole space is paved, and was used by the Navy during the war, later leased by Lumber Terminal, Inc. It is the intention eventually to put buildings there to make full utilization of the additional space.

This company has carried out extensive improvements in its large shed, where old fashioned bins have been cleared out and a leveled area installed to provide space for modern handling of lumber and building materials with lift trucks and carriers.

An assembly department created for getting orders together, using lift trucks and carriers, has speeded up deliveries, and saved considerable time in the handling of customers.

Smith-Stemeck Miss Violet Stemeck and Weldon D. Smith were married in Rupert, fdaho, on June 16, 1947, with Father McElliott as the officiating clergyman. After a honeymoon at Sun Valley they will return to San Francisco, where Mr. Smith is representative of the Cal-Ore Lumber Companv of Ashland, Oregon.
