PLYWOOD'S

"Plywood Preferredn' soys Seotile Builder Eorl F. Mench

THESE five homes are typical of more than 50 built during 1939, 1940 and 1941- all with siding of Exterior-type Douglas fir plywood. The builder, Earl F. Mench of Seattle, Washington, says: o'These homes are perfect examples of the reasons I recommend ply' wood so heartily. Plywood offers construction economies-plus long range durability factors. The plywood siding remains in excellent con' dition, and the houses have a record of very low maintenance. I've never had one complaint about plywood's performance on these houses." In addition to the exterior siding, plywood was also utilized for cabinets, lino' leum underlay and other interior detail.

Appointed District Forest Engineer 92 Lumberm€n Attend Club Meeting

Portland, June 30-The Western Pine Association today announced the appointment of George A. Craig, young California forester, as district forest .engineer for the northern California-southern Oregon area.

Craig, technician for the California Division of Forestry for the past year and a half, succeeds Ernest L. Kolbe, recently named chief forester for the association in Portland. His appointment is effective July 1.

A 1939 forestry graduate of the University of California, Craig served for three years as an aerial photo interpreter and air combat intelligence officer with the Navy. Upon separation from service he became an investigator for the California State Senate Interim Committee on a study of forestry problems and aided in preparation of the 1947 report to the senate.

In his capacity as forest technician Craig has been assisting in the administration of recently adopted forest practice rules in California. During that time he was also a field editor for The Timberman magazine, northwest lumber industry publication.

Before the rvar Craig worked on woods and sawmill crews in northern California and southern Oregon. During his school years he was employed by the lJnderwood Lumber company at Lakeview, Oregon, and later by the BuzardBurkhart Pine Lumber company at Lakeview and the Algoml Lumber company at Algoma, Oregon.

, As forest engineer for the WPA, Craig will work with timber owners in the preparation of forest management plans, development of practical woods practices for handling timber as a crop and enlargement of the Tree Farm program. He will headquarter in Sacramento.

Milton Taenzer, of American Hardr,vood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, is back from spending a week at his cabin at Big Bear Lake.

When it comes to sprouting things big' the acorn is a piker alongside the twde from which sugar cane grows. For the acorn only fathers an oak. but the sugar cane node, through production of tough cane fibre, has sired three of the greatest advances in building history-

I building insulatioll-From cane ffbre in 1e2l

- came Celotex cane fibre board combining low thermal conductivity with great structural strength. tr'or the first time, architects could reduce more economically the flow of heat and cold in all types of buildings, with a single, mass-produced, low-coet structural material. Today, because of Celotcx p ioneer in g, heat-leahing buildings are obsohte.

sound eonditionin$-rn 1924 came another great advance from cane fibre-Acousti-Celotex perforated cane fibre tile . I combining high sound absorption with paintability. At last architecLs had a practical way to build gaiet into offices, schools, and hospitals. to control noise in factories. and to correct acoustics in churches and auditoriums. Today, becauseof Acousti-Celoter, noise in busincss and industry is on its ua! out.

single-wall constfuction-uore recently the trend toward single-wall construction in residences and industrial,buildings has been accelerated by the development of Cemesto a fire-and-moisture-resistant asbestos cement wall unit with a cane fibre core. Cemesto, one integrated material, replaces the 8 to 10 separate layers used in building ordinary residential walls and permits the erection of industrial buildings with light-weight economical "curtain" walls, partitions and roof decks. more tO COme-Vou'll notice one thing in common about these three contributions of cane fibre to building progress-each is a multi-function material. This illustrates the continuing objective of engineering research at Celotex to give you better building products-at lower cost.

Lord Chesterfield said: "Most arts require long study and application, but the most useful art of all, that of pleasing, requires only the desire." tr {.

Along the same line, listen to De Maupassant: "What is conversation ? Mystery ! It is the art of never seeming wearisome, of knowing how to say everything interestingly, of pleasing with no matter what, of fascinating with nothing at all."

Which is best, to be distinguished, or undistinguished?

Temple Scott says that to be like everybody else is a mark of mediocrity. It means you are undistinguished. But it also means to be safe, for when one is undistinguished, one is unnoticed.

Every time'someone comes along with a new idea that startles the world or revolutionizes something, men rise up everywhere to announce that they had thought of it long before. The difference is that they-assuming they tell the truth-only thought of it. The big question is not who first discovered a worth-while idea, but who introduced it to the world and put it to work.

Funny how an ia." *ii ;t; some intelligent men. I know men who almost have a fit every time they get hold of sorhe new and interesting idea. They worry with it like a cat with a captured mouse. They won't just grab it and shake the livirig daylights out of it. They just nibble it to death; nag it to pieces.

Eight hundred ,."r" "f i *1""t"" poet named s'Hota Rustaveli uttered the following pattern for friendship: "\Mhat you keep, is lost; what you give, is yours forever." It has been quoted innumerable times, but never improved upon.

Someone asked Confucius what he thought about an after life, and the old O'riental replied: "flow should I, who know so little about this world, know anything about another?" How wise that old man was! It has always seemed to me that the height of egotism is for some mortal man to tell you all about the plans and thoughts of that Mind that made a million, million solar systems and operates them all in perfect order.

All humans do not look with the same degree of admiration on our American miracles. I remember mtrny years ago when a very prominent Britisher, Lord Balfour, made his first visit to this country, and enthusiasts were showing him New York. One of them pointed to the tallest skyscraper in sight, and said: "Think of it ! That building is absolutely fireproof ! It couldn't possibly burn down !" And the dignified Britisher looked at the great building with calm eye, and remarked: "What a pity!" ***

If you want something to think pleasant thoughts about along the line of industry and economics, how's this? P. W. Litchfield, chairman of the board of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company tells of the mighty changes for the better in the tire industry. Forty years ago, he says, a Goodyear tire worker got 40 cents an hour for his work, he produced tires that sold to the consumer for $35 each, and which would run two thousand miles on the average, making one hour's work equivalent to 23 miles of tire service. Today that same type worker gets $1.63 per hour, the tire he makes sells to the consumer for $14.40, and will run an average of 34,000 miles; making one hour's work by one man produce the equivalent of 3,800 miles of tire service. Think ol it-23 miles against 3,800 miles ! No wonder Mr. Litchfield proudly states that "only under the American system of free, competitive enterprise, could such things be done."

The greatest "triple threat" man in history was Aristotle. When Dr. Will Durant was asked to name the greatest thinkers in history, he placed Aristotle at the top of his list. When H. G. Wells was asked to name the greatest MEN in history, we find Aristotle one of that short list. When Elbert Hubbard was asked to name the best educated men in history, there, also, we find Aristotle. If you are looking for an interesting guy to read about and get better acquainted with, try Aristotle.

One of the pressing questions of life is today, and has always !ssn-'rvv[3t is the best business for a young man to

start life in ?" The other day I was talking to a friend on the street when a young man passed by. My friend called my attention to him. He said-"Two years ago that young man was making one hundred dollars a month, and today he's making one hundred thousand dollars a year salary." I was naturally interested in such rapid promotion. "Of course" added my friend, "he changed businesses." "What business is he in now?" I wanted to know. And my friend grinned. "The best paying business on earth," he said, "the son-in-law business." And when I stopped to think the situation over, I believe my friend had something there. Tell the young man starting out in life: "Be honest, industrious, ambitious, and marry a rich girl. No business pays so much money for so little ability as the son-in-law business." f'll admit that frequently when I contemplate some highly paid son-in-law, I am prone to wonder what he would be making if he were turned loose in a strange Iand with one change of shirts and a five dollar bill.

In this column last issue I wrote about money; with the frank declaration that personally I could not understand the science of same. Since then I have read a little money history that I found deeply interesting; yet only added to my difficulty in trying to understand money-especially international money. This is the story: back in 1847 the railroad panic was on in the United States. It spread abroad, and paralysis came to business and finance in all Europe. The exchanges were closed. The factories were closed. Riots followed the unemployment that preceded starvation. fn such times, dangerous men find their utmost advantage. There arose a fanatical, God-hating young man named Karl Marx, who preached a doctrine that is yet heard on this earth; the doctrine of hate of all employers, of all "masters," of all possessors of property. He preached death to all such, and his*follow*ers were legion.

Then, in 1848, a thing happened in California-a very, very small matter in itself-that upset the revolution and put business, and finance, and sanity back in the saddle. They struck gold in California. And as the gold was claimed from hill and stream, the hymn of hate in Europe died fast. The money exchanges, and business centers came to life, factories started, and in no time at all capitalism became again the prevailing economy, and vitality came back to a money-sick world. ft was the gotd they struck at Sutter's Mill that saved the business and industry of the world, and retired the hate singer, Karl Marx, back, temporarily, into the darkness from which he had sprung. He still lives through his teachings and his works in the minds and hearts of the haters and lame-brains of the world, however, and it is his teachings that we are now again combatting by sending American gold and goods abroad to strive for the soul of the world. Does this convince you, as it does me, that money is hard to understand?

Let us pursue this subject of money a little farther, this time with the assistance'of a very clear thinker and writer, Lynn Landrum, of The Dallas News. He says: ,'People keep on making a mystery of the dollar shortage abroad. But it is no mystery. The whole world today is selling this country this year (1948) about seven billion dollars worth of goods. At the same time the United States is sending abroad about twelve billion dollars worth of goods. And twelve minus seven equals five. If we give that five billion dollars worth of goods away, we never get paid for it. If we don't give it away, the world can't pay for it. And that's the dollar shortage. That's all there is to it. you can't swap horses if you haven't any horse. It is really a most painfully simple

Landrum makes it simple, doesn't he? So, what our American effort called ERP is going to have to try and do is to so build UP the economy of Europe that they can produce over there enough things that we need and want in this country to enable them to sell us as much as we sell them, and thus balance the dollars. Landrum thinks, as who does not, that the present attitude of the government of Great Britain (which is that Uncle Sam should GM Britain the gold and cash with which to pay for what we send them in the shape of goods) is utterly ridiculous. Yet that's what their big shots DO demand. Where Uncle Sam gets off in the matter, not even the British thinkers try to explain. Cordell Hull once said that in trading horses you should always be sure you get a horse. Our hope and the hope of the rest of the world is that the rest of the world work hard and earn and create money and goods to exchange for what they want from us. When you ask a store for credit for your purchases, you don,t ask the store to give you the money to pay for the goods; you simply guarantee that you either have or are going to work enough to produce the wherewithal to pay the bill. And that's what we've got to help the rest of the world to doand make them do it in order to get credlit. Or am I just all mixed up again?

Changing the subject. A young man was told by his eye doctor that his vision was failing fast. Said a friend, jokingly-"You'll have to get a seeing-eye dog.., ..Not me,,, said the other, "I'm going to get me a seeing-eye woman.',

Form Loccl Associqtions

Two local associations have now been' formed along county lines in Western Oregon within the Western Forest Industries Association, and a third is in process. This is a move by the Association to strengthen the organizational machinery of the thousands of independent sawmill operators, loggers, truckers, lumber remanufacturers and allied interests in the several Western states.

As explained by R. T. Titus, executive vice president and general manager of the Association, the development of local groups, functioning as Sections with the parent body, provides a means for independents in each operating area to handle their local problems unitedly and at the same time preserve the necessary affiliation to meet state and federal problems with coordination.

He was the Baron Munchausen of the colored quarters, and, with a goodly crowd of listeners he was telling one of his best. He was out in the big thicket, he said, when a huge black bear took after him. Spying a big pine tree a hundred yards away, he ran for it, with the bear in close pursuit. He got to the tree and was about six feet up the stump and climbing fast, and the bear was not more than twenty feet away, when his blood ran cold, for there on the other side of the tree and rushing at him with widespread jaws was a huge wildcat-as big as a big dog. The bear sprang at him from one side, just as the wildcat made his leap from the opposite direction. So he let go his hold on the tree and dropped down suddenly, and the bear and the huge wildcat met head-on right there on the tree trunk about ten feet from the ground; met there and went to

Peerless Built-in Fixture Co. Expands and Increases Personnef

Demand for dealerships, greater than ever before, and unprecedented residential fixture sales are the reasons for recent expansion of facilities and increased personnel of Peerless Built-in Fixture Company, of Berkeley, California. Ray B. Cox, president of the company, has given this explanation in announcing two new appointments.

Roy C. Merkle, who has been rvith the companj' for the past quarter century, has been made vice president. Along with the duties of purchasing and estimating Mr. Merkle will oversee the commercial .and industrial sales of the business.

Richard B. (Dick) Cox has been appointed sales manager. He has been with the company lor 12 years, the past three years as salesman and manager of the Plan Service Department. In addition to managing the company's own

Earl Hoffman, of Earl Hoffman Company, rvholesale lumber dealers, spent a month recently calling on sawmills in Oregon and Washington. He flew both ways, and rented cars to make his calls.

Large sales have recently been made to dealers in Honolulu, and Anchorage, Alaska, according to Ray B. Cox, who added that these sales were entirely unsolicited and resulted, no doubt, from the many years of advertising to dealers on the Pacific Coast.

Peerless Built-in Fixture Company, which claims to be the true originator of the "modern" kitchen, is now 35 years old, and for the past 25 years has been located at 2608 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley, California. This location has allowed for repeated enlargement of facilities with room remaining for still further expansion.

Construction in June Sets New Building Record

Washington-Construction work done during June is estimated at a new record of $1,605 million, ll/o over May and slightly more than the usual seasonal advance, the Commerce Department retriorted.

The figure represents dollar value of construction work actually put-in-place during the month, whether projects included were completed or not. It is 38/o above the amount of .work done in June last year, and more than $100 million above previous record levels reached in July, 1942, ahd October, 1947.

Private home building totaled $625 million, up 9/o over May and 54/o above June last year. Industrial building was the only category of privately financed construction to show a decrease. It totaled $110 million,Z/o under May and down 27/o f.rom last year.

Public construction totaled $387 million in,June, about l4/o higher than May and Mo over June, 1942. This category includes such work as sewer, highway construction and hospitals, educational and other public buildings.

Building Under FHA Programs

, A total of 131,346 new dwelling units financed and built under the various programs of the Federal Housing Administration was placed under construction during the first five months of this year, FHA Commissioner Franklin D. Richards announced. This is almost two-and-aquarter times the 58,8fl units started under FHA inspection during the first five months of L947, Richards said.

Included in the five-month volume of starts for 1948 were 14,952 dwellings in one-to-four-family structures financed under the permanent provisions of the National Housing Act (Section 203, Title II) ; 75,794 units in one-to-fourfamily structures financed under the veterans, emergency provisions of the Act (Section 6O3, Title VI), and 40,600 units in rental housing projects financed under the emergency provisions (Section 608, Title VI).

This record volume of starts includes only those properties financed under Titles II and VI, for which first compliance inspections by the local FHA office are required. It does not include new homes financed with Title I Class 3 loans of $3000 or less, in which cases the lending institutions ordinarily make the inspections.

President Signs Housing Bill

President Truman signed the housing bill on July l. The new housing law allows the Federal National Mortgage Association, a subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corp., to buy from original lenders mortages insured by the Veterans Administration. This applies to mortgages issued after April 30 on homes which meet standards laid down by the Federal Hoirsing Administration. Up to now, there has been no such Government ..secondary market" for VA-insured mortgages, although the RFC agency has had authority to purchase FHA mortgages. The new law increases by $580 million the funds available for FNMA for mortgage purchases.

Congress did not renew FHA's Title VI mortgage insurance program, which lapsed April 30. This program authprized FHA to insure mortgages on new homes or housing projects. The mortgages were limited to 90/o ol the value of one to four family units and to Wo of Dec. 31, 1947, cost equivalent in the case of larger units. The bill did not include any provisions for public housing.

Retail Lumber Dealers from coast to coast have advised the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau that the name "No. 2" does not give due credit to the merits of the 12'clear Certigrade Shingle. They point out that this twelveinch clear, mixed-grain shingle has many advantageous uses for roofs and sidewalls-at considerable savings to theircustomers.They state that this excellent product will give their customers more value at less cost per year than many of the substitute materials-and that it should rctbe designated as "No.2" shingle.

In compliance with the recommendations of so many lumber dealers, the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau has redesignated the No.2 Certigrade Shingle. trYom now on, it will be named and labeled the "Cpnrrcnnnp Rsr LABEL" shingle. No change is made in the gradirog rules, and no change is made in the other Certigrade grades. This is a change "in name only," and merely serves to grve this high-value shingle due credit for its merits.

Estimated Consumption o[ \(/estern Pine Lumber for Thlrd Quarter o( 1948

Portland, Ore., June 30-A report of second-quarter 1948 manufacture and shipments of \AIestern Pine region lumber and lumber products and an estimate of probable third quarter consumption lvere released today by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association.

The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Associated Woods. The statement in full:

"Since settlement of the coal strike early this spring the general level of business activity has climbed and held close to the highest level reached since the reconversion of industry from r,var production. In spite of mounting labor and material costs, residential construction is setting neu' records too. Industry and construction together are dernanding a record volume of lumber from the mills of the \\restern Pine region.

"After a first quarter in rvhich production was 12 per cent above that in the first quarter of 1947, the industry seemed headed for record production in the second quarter. Instead it ran into the worst spring weather for many years. Some mills were forced completely down by high u'ater and many others were a month or more late in getting their logging operations under way. As a result, the production of 1728 million feet rvas 7.5 per cent below last year's second quarter. Shipments of 1558 million feet rvere 7 per cent below the same quarter oI 1947 and'13 per cerlt belou' the shipments anticipated by the Association's estimate. Shipments for the entire first six months u'ere 1.3 per cent belorv the first half of 1947.

"Mill stocks increased 170 million feet during the quarter and now stand at about 1248 million feet, or 219 million feet more than a year ago. This stock increase was not due to a shortage of orders but rather to the fact that the u'et spring: retarded air drying and to the growing demand that mills hold stocks until they are adequately seasoned for shipment.

"With third round rvage increases pretty rvell settled for most basic industries, and some further inflation as a result, industry generally is looking forward to a high rate of operations during the next fer,v months. Politicians of both parties, with an election coming up, will try to avoid actions u'hich might bring blame to them for slowing either industry or construction. As the boom continues into the third quarter it is evident that shipments still will be limited largely by the ability of the mills to produce. Based upon all available information it now seems probable that duiing the third quarter of 1948 shipments (consumption) of lumber by the Western Pine Industry will approximate 1850 million feet, or about equal to the same 7947 period."

The Western Pine region covers the pine producing areas of the 11 western states and South Dakota.

Carloads to be surfaced or run to pattern will be un. loaded at our siding, milled and forwarded-fast. We will sort, grade and tally your random stock. Small lot orders for stock patterns get the same service as carloads. Overnight service on surfacing, if you're in a jam. Phone us for action.

Douglas Fir Plywood Association Holds Annuaf Meeting

The familiar slogan "Plywood, the Wood of 1,000 lJses," was graphically illustrated in displays shown to more than 200 Douglas fir ply'rvood plant officials attending the recent annual industry meeting in Tacoma. \Mash.

Panels with photographs and listings of the 1,000 plywood applications lined the walls of the Crystal Ballroom in Tacoma's Winthrop hotel, rvhere plyrn'ood leaders from \Vashington, Oregon and Northern California planned further developments of markets for their product.

This seeking of an enlarged sales field at a time rvhen the demand for plywood is at a record high is part of the long-range planning program of the Pacific Northwest plywood industry. Irly.ivood leaders are determined to continue the development of their industry for a nation becoming increasingly aware of its importance as a basic building material.

Plyrvood production increased more than ten-fold from 1925 to 1947. And last year's total output of 1,631,000,000 square feet will be topped by a production record of more than tlr'o billion feet in 19€.

Even though demand exceeds supply at the present time, plywood officials are keenly aware that development of future markets must continue now if the industry is to maintain its phenomenal rate of growth.

Arnold Koutonen, president of the Douglas Fir plywood Association, the plyr,r'ood producers' promotional and

trvo-tone key_ note of industry policy:

"We must improve service to our customers by knorving markets thoroughly to. gear promotion of sales to customer needs, and by always remembering the quality of our prod_ uct is not good enough if it can be made better."

Koutonen rvas re-elected head of the Association on the first day of the plywood conference. He is general manager of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co.'s Olympia, Wash., plywood division.

Re-elected as vice president rvas J. W. Forrester, general manager of the Coos Bay Lumber Co., Coquille, Ore. Leonard Nystrom, president of Associated plywood Nfills, Eugene, Ore., was re-elected secretary; and J. H. Smith, general manager of Tacoma's Puget Sound plywood, fnc., was chosen to serve another year as treasurer.

Named as trustees of the Association are R. E. Walton, of Walton Plywood Co., Everett, \,Vash.; Dennis M. Slenning, assistant general manager of Oregon-Washington Plywood Co., Tacoma, \Mash.; F. L. Johnson, general man(Continued on Page 24)

Fir Plywood Association Annual Meeting

(Continued from Page 22)

ager of Anacortes Veneer, Inc., Anacortes, Wash. ; and V. A. Nyman, vice president of Aberdeen Plyrvood Corp., Aberdeen, Wash.

Two new plywood plants, the Calpella Plywood Co., Calpella, Cal.,'and the Tacoma Plywood Corp., Tacoma, Wash., came into the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. Thus, 31 separate firms, operating 37 factories, no\,v support the industry's promotion-quality control program.

Charles E. Dbvlin, managing director of the Association, reported one of the significant developments in plywood manufacture during the past year has been continrled improvement of the glue-line-the adhesive factor in binding the wood plys together.

Expressing confidence in plyrvood's future, E. W. Daniels, president of the Harbor Plywood Corp., Hoqniam,

-.Ir were speckere Wash., said to the plant offrcials:

"The industry, with a ten-year record of aggressive, effective plywood promotion, is preparing for greater sales emphasis in the years ahead to bolster plywood use in homes, on the farm and for limitless industrial applications."

F. N. Belgrano, Jr., president of the Portland, Ore., First National Bank, speaking at a luncheon on the first day of the conference, warned the plywood leaders and all Americans that they must not give up their important freedoms to encroaching government controls proposed in the "midst of real or imaginary crises."

Roy Wenzlick, Real Estate analyst and counsellor of St. Louis, Mo., was the featured guest speaker on the second day of the conference. Wenzlick predicted a high level of Real Estate activity throughout this year, but he said Real E,state values have passed their peak and prices of homes will decline, going into a "slump" in the middle-1950's. ITe also forecast an end to the housing shortage in nearly all parts of the country by 1951.

At the sales clinic, held the second afternoon of the trvoday meeting, staff members of the industry trade Association subjected plywood to torture tests, revealing its amazing resistance to direct impact, racking and bending. In the impact test a l2-pound shot dropped from a height of six feet bounced off sheathing grade plywood, but smashed other sheathing materials to bits.

This is a story about a Los Angeles bttsiness institution called West Coast Screen Company. But, because the West Coast Screen Company is in reality simply the lengthened shadou' of one Francis G. Hanson, this is then mostly a personal story about this man who rvas the founder and has at all times been the business genius oi the,concern. He started it when it was strictly a one-ring circus type of factory, and the office from rvhich he managed same r'r'as just a hole in the wall.

Step by step Francis G. Hanson built the West Coast Screen Company plant and business until it is today one of the most useful, respected, and vital institutions of its kind in the entire industry it represents. Step by step the factory grew. Year after year old equipment was replaced with newer and more modern units; and continually they reached out for more space and filled that space with still more equipment to make still rnore products. It is almost wasting time to state that the big thing in the life of West Coast Screen Company is the Hollywood Door. Once it was known only in Los Angeles. Today it is a vital factor in the national business made up by that sort of door. They make some other things, of course, such as shutters, C. C. Doors, scr:een doors, and louvre doors. But their fame and fortune was built and is today based upon their very famous product the Hollywood Door.

The lumber storage warehouse holds as much as three million feet of lumber. Although they buy only commercially dry Pine for their doors, their custom is to season it for another three months after it reaches their plant, to insure perfect condition for door making.

Mr. Hanson is particularly proud, and rightfully so, that during the war years, in spite of the scarcities of materials and the huge cost increases in all the commodities that go to make up the Hollywood Door, he has held the price

F. G. Hqnson of the door down to a level that is well-nigh unbelievable. While many products of this sort soared in price several It'lndred p'er cent over prewar levels, the Hollywood Door never reached a price level that made it prohibitive. That is something to be proud of. 'And Mr. Hanson and his organization are inclined to be a bit boastful on the subject. He explains it by pointing to the incomparably efficient manufacturing plant in which the door is produced, and a working organization that has done wonders in the way of economy. The furnished facts indicate the exactness of Mr. Hanson's statements in this regard.

The manufacturing plant, the storage facilities, and all the mechanics of operation have, as stated, g'rown continually since the inception of the business, and the time came

than one hundred employees in his domain. Orrin \\rright is the popular and efficient office manager.

Mr. Ifanson has traveled continually and extensively in the interest of \A/est Coast Screen from the very time it started. In these travels he has usually been accompanied by Mrs. Hanson, who also likes to travel and call on the trade, and has made him a splendid partner in spreading the gospel of Hollyrvood Doors throughout the building trade of the rvhole country. Mr. Ilanson is norv slowing dou'n a bit on this traveling stuff. Perhaps the continually growing volume and cares of the business serve to keep him more at home. Perhaps the luxurious surroundings of his office and plant attract him more than as in days of yore. Perhaps the birthdays are telling him, in the rvorrds of G.I. Joe, "Take it easy."

Anyway this amazingly busy man is now taking a little time to play. Once a week he plays golf. He has become a fan in that direction. And rvould you believe it, friends, the other day he entered into the realm of the mighty b1' making a hole-in-one on the golf course. Since that time his blood pressure has never gotten exactly back to normal. There is a suspicion in the minds of some of his golf friends that he thinks he can do it again. Which idea will keep him shooting.

But outside of that one afternoon a week, callers can still find Mr. llanson at his regular place of business. He has in the new office what he calls a Rumpus Room where he entertains his friends. There is something in the room that looks suspiciously like a bar. The walls are covered with

When they come to Los Angeles they gather here. And no man lives who loves and appreciates his friends and his fellorv man more than Francis Hanson. The friends he has built are as important to him as the business he has built. He feels sure that they - are equally important and are inseparable

So, for the time being, we shall leave the plant of the West Coast Screen Company and its owner. It is a mighty fine outfit. Hanson is a mighty fine man, who has brought nothing but good thinking and good business to the industry of which he is proud to be a part. Drop in and watch him slide back the panel as he leads you to the Rumpus Room. And rvhen he, tells you abont that hole-in-one, show your enthusiasm. It is som.ething to be proud of. If you don't believe it, try to make one.

New Johns-Manville Plant

Johns-Manville unveiled its new Insulating Board plant before a distinguished group of Mississippi public officials, business leaders, editors, and rvriters, on June 25.

D. R. Seip, plant manager, welcomed the group on behalf of Johns-N{anville, and introduced Hon'ard \\r. Allen, Director of Public Relations from the New York headquarters, who discussed briefly the company's community and press relations policies.

Located on St. Catherine's Creek just southeast of Natchez, Mississippi, the new plant consists of three major buildings joined together, and 24 minor buildings. The rvhole plant operation covers. an area of 400,000 square feet on a 250-acre site, allowing for possible future expansion.

When in full operation the plant will employ from 400 to 6@ people, with an estimated annual payroll of $750,000. The eventual output of insulating board products is expected to be approximately 200,000,000 square feet. Among the products to be manufactured at the Natchez plant are natural finish building board, decorative ceiling panels, wall plank and insulating board sheathing.

Raw material consists largely of pulpwood processed on the spot from short leaf pine and hardwoods. Purchase of timber by Johns-Manville will provide a continuing and permanent cash crop for farmers and timber owners in the southwest Mississippi area.

A new manufacturing process at the plant enables them to utilize a larger proportion of hardrvoods as well as short leaf pine.

Johns-Manville rvill encourage and practice the most modern forestry methods not only on its own lands, but on the property of those farmers and timber gro'ivers from r,r'hom it buys pulpwood, thus insuring a valuable timber crop for generations to come.

In keeping with industrial trends, the plant is highly mechanized. The unloading and handling of pulpwood is all done by mechanical means and the fabricating and coating equipment for various types of insulating board is of special design developed by Johns-Manville from previous experience in this field. The dryer, through which the insulating board passes, is one of the largest ever built, having 18,000 bearings and requiring about 1,000 horsepower in electric motors to operate.

To operate the plant, a four and one-half natural gas supply line was built and a five-mile waste disposal line constructed to avoid local stream pollution. Four 500-'foot deep wells were drilled to supply water for the plant.

The dryer building is equipped with continuous roof ventilators the full length of the structure with louvers on both sides. All major buildings are of saw-tooth design, for the most efficient light and ventilation. Fireproof construction of steel and Johns-Manville Transite wall panels is featured throughout. The main office building and the plant service offices are air-conditioned, as is the cafeteria for the personnel.

Locker 4nd rvashroom facilities of the most modern type have been installed for plant workers, and an inclosed loading platform has been built to protect employees during periods of inclement weather.

The West's Most Complete Plywood Headquarters

Paul L. Matthies, of P. L. Matthies Co. ,rvholesale lumber dealers, Pasadena, Calif., realized one of his ambitions when he caught and landed, after a mighty struggle a 176 lb. Striped Marlin in the Gulf of California in the vicinity of Guaymas, Mexico, June 2, 1948.

Paul flew down to Guaymas with a group of friends, Dr. A. E. Tucker, Paul Manuel, Sid Johnson, and Bob Robbins. He says that during the fight to land this big fish, which was the largest one caught by any of the group, he certainly forgot some of the cares and worries of the lumber business. lfe reports that the group saw 23 big fish in five days, hooked 13, and actually landed five. This percentage is considered a good performance.

Mason Supplies, Inc. Now Distributors Of Certain-teed Acoustical Tile

Announcement is made by Mason Supplies, Inc., wholesale building material distributors, 732 Decatur Street, Los Angeles 21, that they are now wholesale distributors for Certain-teed Acoustical Tile, made of Fiberglas.+

In talking about this product, an officer of this company had this to say: "Certain-teed Acoustical Tile is a highly efficient sound absorbing material. It is composed of flexible glass fiber-an amazing product of science. It is ideal for all installations, combining as it does sound absorption with fire protection, light reflection, and decoration.

"Applied to ceilings it reduces noise, improves hearing conditions, and promotes a quiet, restful atmosphere. Restaurants and stores add to comfort. Homeowners add to gracious living. Schools, churches and theatres improve hearing conditions when they eliminate sound distortion and echoes.

"It is fire-safe because it is incombustible-one of its most important advantages. It will not warp, buikle, expand or contract, and .is entirely unaffected by changes of weather.

"It has better insulating values .than any ordinary wood fiber insirlation board of equal thickness. It can be redecorated as needed without material impairment to the acoustical efficiency if simple painting precautions are observed. It is applied by means of an approved adhesive to a suitable base. Instructions for application are enclosed in each carton of material."

Mason Supplies, fnc., also announces that there is a substantial price reduction on Fiberglas Building Insulation, which they also handle.

Ingersoll on Robert Burns

(Robert Ingersoll's thoughts over the grave of Napoleon have been quoted innumerable times, and are admittedly among the all-time classics in the English language. And little has been said of his tribute to Robert Burns, which probably exceeds the Napoleon tribute in strength, beauty of thought and expression, and wonderful eloquence. Here it is.)

"I visited them all, all the places made immortal by his genius, the field where love first touched his heart, the field where he ploughed up the F{ome of the Mouse. I saw the cottage where Robert and Jean first lived as man and wife, and walked on 'the banks and braes of Bonnie Doon'. And when I stood by his grave, I said: This man was a real, genuine man. This man believed in the dignity of labor, in the nobility of the useful. This man believed in human love, in making a heaven here, in judging men by their deeds instead of by creeds and titles. This man believed in liberty of the soul, of thought and speech. This man believed in the sacred rights of the individual; he sympathized with the suffering and oppressed. This man had the genius to change suffering and toil into a song, to enrich poverty, to make a peasant feel like a prince of the blood, to fill the lives of the lowly with love and light. This man had the genius to make robes of glory out of squalid rags. This. man had the genius to make Cleopatras, and Sapphos, and Helens out of the freckled girls of the villages and fields-and he had the genius to make Auld Ayr, and Bonnie Doon, and Sweet Afton and the Winding Nith, murmur the name of Robert Burns forever. This man left a legacy of glory to Scotland and the whole world; he enriched our language, and, with a generous hand, scattered the gems of thought. This man was the companion of poverty, and wept the tears of grief, yet he has caused millions to shed the happy tears of joy. His heart blossomed in a thousand songs-songs for all times and all seasons-suited to every experience of the heartsongs for the dawn of love-for the glance and clasp and kiss of courtship-for'favors secret, sweet and precious'for the glow and flame-the ecstacy and rapture of married life-songs of parting and despair+ongs of hope and simple joy-songs for the vanished day-songs for birth and burial-songs for wild war's deadly blast-songs for gentle peace-songs for labor and content-songs for the spinning wheel, the sickle and the plow-songs for sunshine and for storm, for laughter and for tears-songs that will be sung as long as language lives and passion sways the heart of man."

H. L. Brown tions did not receive the study they might have had.

Rules S14 is the result of a great deal of study and hard research u'ork. It rvas over 4 years in preparation. Thousands of lumbermen in all parts of the industry were consulted.

A great many recommendations and suggestions rvere received. All rvere given careful consideration. Many recommendations, among them those from the Forost Products Laboratory, were adopted.

At all times during the preparation of Rules S14 the importance of "usability" of a piece of lumber for the purpose intended lvas kept in mind as being of the utmost importance. Appearance rvas ,considered, but it took second place. The primary thought was to give the user of lumber a product he could rely on to the limits of the grade.

Many people judge a piece of lumber by appearance, which can lead to some very bad mistakes. A fine appearing piece is not always the best piece. Under Rules fttZ in a number of cases a manufacturer could ship lumber on a certain specification and a large percentage could be totally unusable for the purpose intended, ye,t it would

In Rules Sl2 there was a specification for Select Merchantable Dimension. In Rules S14 this paragraph was deleted. The Select Merchantable grade was simply the best pieces of S1. The buyer of this grade believed he was getting something better than f 1 for his money. He really was not. The piece looked better, that is all. In Rules $14 these pieces are now left in S1.

Under Rules S14 definite methods of measuring knots are carefully specified. Where they may seriously affect the strength they are strictly limited. Under old Rules this was not always so. They were limited only in the structural grades.

In the board grades, Rules $12 permitted loose knots in the Select Merchantable grade. In Rules f14 this is no\.v a 10070 tight-knotted grade. The f 1 and ft2 board grades are practically the same as in Rules S12, with the exception of a very slight increase in the size of knots.

The S3 grades of dimension and boards are the ones we are hearing the most about these days.

First of all it must be kept in mind that with the exception of $4, principally a dunnage grade, the S3 grade is the lorvest possible grade that can be obtained. Into the

Time To Look At Rule s #14

(Continued from Page 36)

$3 grade-under both Rules ff12 and lA-goes most of the fall-down from the higher grades. The #3 grade is a very broad grade. The characteristics (defects) permitted ar€ large and many.

With economy an important consideration today, a builder is naturally interested in obtaining his materials as cheaply as possible. A sound, dependable job of construction can be achieved with f 3 ; it should, of course, be used in the proper places, as should al,l lumber grades.

Misunderstanding causes more $3 complaints than anything else.The buyer may be convinced he is getting fl or that he will get a large percentage of higher grade mixed with his #3. When the shipment arrives and he fihds no cream, the name-calling begins. Today's conditions are not those of several years ago. The manufacturer can sell all the so-called cream. lle no longer gives it away, and the buyer is not apt to find it in amongst his grades any more.

Last but not least, the sawmill industry grew and expanded tremendously during the war. A few operatorslike operators in other industries-were careless with their shipments. The bad grades tl.rese few operators shipped reflected unfavorably on the whole lumber industry.

The West Coast Bureau in.the last few years has experienced most of the lumber "crises." Some time ago it was crook-then it was mold-then large knots-coarse grain-dead timber-second growth-and now white specks.

We have heard a good deal about the white speck rule being 'changed.

It has been changed to give a clearer description. paragraph 189 for g3 boards permits both white specks and honeycomb. Where the two are permitted it is the honeycomb that needs the added description "Firm." If white specks had the added description "Firm," it wquld mean no honeycomb permitted.

White specks are a form of decay. So, for that matter, is any type of stain. But white specks are not in the same class, or anywhere near as damaging, as soft decay. This latter type of decay is taken care of in the rule under the description "Decay-rpots and streaks, well scattered.,, The durability of white speck lumber is quite high. Higher than some types of sound wood. This is borne out by reports from the Forest Products Laboratorv.

Remember that $3 is the lowest construction grade. It could contain under Rules ff12, and may still contain under Rules fr14, very large knots, shake, splits, knot holes and many other defects. All can be present and yet the piece would be accepted without question as on grade.

On the other hand, a piece containing white specks as usually found is of a clear type. If knots are present they are usually small and tight. The white speck characteristic occurs in the outer heartwood of mature live trees. It is from this po.rtion of the tree we obtain the clear lumber. Consequently, white speck stock makes a good tight subwall or subfloor. It is much better than a piece with large knots, knot holes, shake and other defects that would be accepted without question.

As regards strength, we recently sent some lumber samples-solid white speck with firm honeycomb-to the Forest Products Laboratory for testing. The Laboratory rated these samples as of two classes, "D" and "E". According to the Forest Produ'cts Laboratory, class D type has a reduction in strength o;f T/o. Class E has strength reduction of 50/o. All such tests are based on clear, straight-grained specimens which would have a bending strength of about 2,300 pounds. From this it would appear that pieces in class D and E would have strength to spare for all ordinary uses. For iristance, if class D pieces have a reduction of N/o that would still leave a bending strength as strong as that found in #1. If class E has a reduction ol 50/o they would still have a bending strength as good as that required of fiZ.

Rules Jf14 is like everything else that is new. Any change from a custom we have been used to for years is resisted. Rules ft12 had been in use since 1934. The change from it was a major change. But it had to come and it was best to make that change as soon as possible.

The wording in some cases has been clarified, the paragraphs have been put in their proper place in the book and many other improvements have been made. It is difficult for all of us to adjust ourselves to such'a change after being used to another rule for many years. Even we of the Bureau haVe our troubles.

Generally, Rules S14 is a much better grading rule than Rules $12 or any previous rule. A shipment of properly graded lumber received under Rules #14 will be a much better lot oT lumber for the purpose intended than a shipment graded under Rules #12. Within another 12 months the period of adjustment will be forgotten, and we will be using Rules #14 as if we had been uslng it for years.

Becomes Insulation Division of Paraffine

San Francisco, July 2, Lg48-Plant Rubber and Asbestos Works, for many years a corporation wholly owned by The Parafifine Companies, fnc., will officially on July 1st become the "Insulation Division" of Paraffine. Nationally known in the high temperature insulation field, "Plant" was established in 1898. During the war its factories received the Army-Navy "E" award for outstanding quality production of critical insulation materials.

This announcement was made this week by R. H. Chase, who will be the manager of Paraffine's Insulation Division. Chase was formerly vice president and general manager of "Plant" and will continue to administer the policies of the Insulation Division from Paraffine's home office at 475 Brannan Street, San Francisco.

Chase emphasized: "The insulations marketed by the 'Pabco' Division will be identical in specifications and standards to those manufactured under the familiar 'Plant' trade-mark. These will include Pabco 'Precision-Molded' 85/o Magnesia Insulation and Prasco High Temperature Insulation. They 'ivill continue to be manufactured at the company's factories at Redwood City and Emeryville, California."

Chase further explained: "This change is simply a change in brand name and company name-from 'Plant' to 'Pabco'."

J. C. Voiles, who has been with "Plant" for fifteen years, rvill assist Chase in San Francisco as Regional manager for the Pacific Coast, and serve nationally as staff assistant in connection with Engineering functions.

Conferencc at Pordand

Portland, Oregon, June 24-Representatives of independent lumber operators, labor, agriculture and mining from several western states have been'in session two days at the Benson Hotel, discussing policies of the federal departments of Agriculture and Interior pertaining to natural resources and coordination of efforts to promote sustained yield forest management with equality of opportunity.

Organizations represented include the Western Forest Industries Association, Northern California Lumbermen's Association; Western Montana Lumbermen's Association; fnternational Woodworkers of America (CIO), the Western Mining Council as well as independent farmers and landowners. The group condemned the proposed cooperative agreements now under consideration in California, Montana and Oregon which wouid allocate to individual operators, under long-term contracts, exclusive cutting rights in public timber.

Attending the conference were: L. W. Mills, acting president, and Pat J. Sheehan, secretary, Western Montana Lumbermen's Association, Kalispell, Montana; Arthur W. Seamans, chairman, and Warren Shingle, secretary, Northern California Lumbermen's-Association, Marysville, Calif ; Joe M. Crahane, Brownsville, Oregon, president, and R. T.

New Book on \(/hite Fir

Portland, June 30-The Western Pine Association today announced publication of a new White Fir species book, disclosing at the same time that estimated 1947 pro,duction of the species in the Western Pine region set a new record of 654 million board feet.

The new book, the association reported, is an addition to the series of publications covering Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Idaho White Pine which have long been basic reference manuals for builders, architects, dealers and u'holesalers.

E. G. PITGIIER GONPNilY

Containing 56 illustrated pages, the White Fir book lists in detail the properties and grades of the species and its uses in the general construction and industrial fields. Full page pictures of typical pieces of each grade are accompanied by text material describing the illustrated examples.

Properties and uses sections are illustrated with photographs of White Fir in actual use in residences, commercial buildings, box shook, cabinets, etc. Also included are a map of the Western Pine region, pictures of standing White Fir trees and a photomicrograph of White Fir cell structure.

The book is indexed and carries a listing of standard manufactured sizes and an alphabetic catalogue of uses for White Fir and the recommended grades therefor.

"With the publication of the White Fir species book," S. V. Fullaway, Jr., association secretary-manager, said, "the Western Pine Association recognizes the- unprecedented growth in demand for a wood which is in plentiful supply and serves a multitude of purposes in the industrial and residential construction fields. We believe the book will give builders, architects and all wood users and dealers an excellent understanding of the many uses for this fine general utility wood."

Fullaway revealed that the estimated 1947 production exceeded that of 1946 by nearly eight per cent and that White Fir was shipped into 46 states and abroad by mills of the Western Pine region. He said that annual production of White Fir had increased six-fold in the past decade.

Single copies of the White Fir book are available free to all dealers, builders, architects and other lumber users and jobbers and may be secured by writing the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon' Quotations on additional copies may be obtained from the association.

Los Angeles Building Permits Rise

Building permits issued in Los Angeles the first six months of 1948 had over twice the value of those for the same 1947 period.

Figures show $192,998,831 this year and $97,195,827 last year, according to G. E. Morris, city building superintendent.
