DOTBEER & CARSON TUMBER CO.

* *-l.t"ral

The above, which was part of a letter written by our magnificent war leader to a member of Congress, was more than a bombshell in the ranks of the "let the government do it" gang in Washington; it rvas an atom bomb that hit dead center.

And in THIS ."". o.,] J."L.rr. did not take refuge in his frequent expression about a "red herring." Eisenhower isn't exactly a red herring type of man. Mr. Truman kept mum, which showed a lot of wisdom. Of course here and there a human minnow struck out at this American whale, but they made no impression.

Senator Morse, "r or.Jr",-*io t ". a lot of trouble deciding whether he is a Democrat, a Republican, a New Dealer, a Fair Dealer, a Mugwump, or just a political decimal point, got up and jumped all over General fke. There were no scars discernable on the General's hide when the jumping was over. A few other small fry did likewise. But as a rule they let him alone. FIe wasn't fooling with minnows, as the old saying goes; he was out after whales'

Another bomb of atom size dropped on the socialistic thinking coterie when another of our most distinguished and respected Americans said about the same thing that General Ike did. This was James F. Byrnes, former Secretary of State, former Assistant President, former Supreme Court member, and one of our fundamental Democrats. With characteristic frankness that has always marked this man, Mr. Byrnes spoke his mind freely on the subject of President Truman's legislative program, and he made the headlines in even bigger type on all front pages than even Eisenhower's remarks.

FIe was speaking p.ruriJy l Jv""rri"gton and Lee graduating exercises, and he made a timely and effective argument against unrestrained federal spending. He said that the several projects advocated by the administration would, if made into law, tend to "make galley slaves" of every American citizen. He thought that if Congress should continue to expand federal activities in the direc-

tions demanded by the President, the government will eventually become the sole employer, and we will all be working, directly or indirectly for Uncle Sam. He thought that common sense and ordinary prudence should counsel marking time on projects involving immense outlays of fresh currency at this time, regardless of their merit, even if no questions of regimentation or extension of state control over the affairs of the individual were involved.

We may judge how serious Mr. Byrnes considers the situation when he used the words "galley slaves.". Because "them's fighting words." He did not feel that way any more seriously than does the average thinking American, but what the average man says to his friends and neighbors is one thing, but what Jimmy Byrnes says publicly to the American nation is something else again. Every man I know has been saying privately just exactlyprobably more profanely-what Byrnes said; which made his remarks all the more popular.

*tr<a

As a matter of fact Congress, under pressure from the thinking people of this nation, has been very busy of late trying to keep Harry Truman from hanging a real depression on this country. The other day Congress killed his effort to repeal the Taft-Hartley law and put back into power the damnable old Wagner Act. I believe as I believe in the goodness of Providence that had Congress done as he asked, the recession we are now wading through would have become a major depression overnight. fforv can anyone doubt it? Is there, do you suppose, an employer in all this nation who would willingly operate a business or an industry under the Wagner Act? And what do you have when employers are unwilling to employ and investors are unwilling to invest?

*{<t<

The day after election last November, the stock market took a nose dive and has been giving a splendid characterization of a sick cat ever since. Can there be any doubt why? Mr. Truman had made promises of what he would do if elected, and he is known to be a stubborn man. So, said the investing and employing elements of this nation, if we are to have the Wagner Act, higher taxes, higher payroll deductions, higher gifts to farmers, tremendous increases in government expense for social and other purposes, civil rights with a threatened black-and-tan replacement of white population, and the invasion of individual rights in a thousand directions by federal government; if these and other unpleasant things are to be thrust upon us, then things don't look so good.

Right then things "t"ria t. l"*. I don't believe busi-

"Yery firmly I believe that the great army of persons who urge greater and greater dependence upon the federal treasury are really more dangerous to our form of government than any external threat that can possibly be arrayed against us."

Ike Eisenhower.

ness today would be any worse than it was a year ago had it not been for the varied threats of Truman legislation. I have been saying that same thing with the small voice of this column, and many others have also. But when a couple of giants like Eisenhower and Byrnes, men of conspicuous position and power and with no axes to grind, join the chorus in public fashion, it makes us little folks feel good. It makes strong our good resolves, as some smart guy once said.

General Ike made an.*r.l.ri.s quoted at the beginning of this piece while arguing against proposed federal aidto-education legislation on the grounds that, no matter what safeguards might be attempted, education in this country r;vould be forced to become just another vehicle by which the believers in socialism would gain additional power for an already too-powerful government. Governor' Alfred E. Driscoll, of New Jersey, told a Congressional Committee that: "We are losing self-government in America, and destroying our federal system by the continued expansion of a pernicious system of so-called grants-in-aid." At the same hearing Governor Driscoll offered to cite FIFTY EXAMPLES of waste and incompetence in the handling of federal funds.

'k**

A business man of size and respectability said about the same thing the other day in addressing a national business convention. He is M. E. Coyle, executive vice president of General Motors Corporation. He attacked government in business, and present government efforts to get much farther into business. He said: "The government isn't smart enough to run our business. Its leaders can't run our government intelligently."

:t<**

Bill Henry made a brief appraisal of Congress the other day in one of his columns. He is a nationally known writer and radio commentator, and Washington representative of the Los Angeles Times. He wrote: "We've got some show-offs and some mountebanks' some complete phonies and some narrow-minded bigots, and SOME VERY FINE STATESMANLIKE PEOPLE. WC'VC got some people who would sell their mothers for a dime, too. And we've got blue-bloods."

Business has noticeJ oian* ,na.rest and satisfaction lately a trend that may prove very helpful in handling the present slack business situation. AFL has called on its locals and members to try and help the business situation by increasing the output per man-hour. Nothing like that has been heard before in a long time. AFL definitely links higher wages with greater productivity. It tells its members that workers must help make their employing unit more efiEcient, and reminds them that in many cases the only way men can make more money is to create more goods. Many specific reports from the building industry in particular indicate a definite and considerable increasi in the efficiency of construction workers.

mail received from their home folks by members of Congress of late, and basing its opinion on the letters Congressmen get, reports as follows: "Letter writers say: Cut the cost of government. Avoid tax boosts. Do nothing to unsettle business which is already having troubles. Pressure mail is discounted but Congressmen heed letters from home. These letters, on the conservative side now, are slowing the Truman program."

A Hollywoodian was .lrri* lo d.""riu. the dumbness of a movie queen who has been much in the headlines of late. He said: "You meet her, and she says 'Hello, how are you?' .And you answer, 'Fine, how are you?'. And then she's stuck for an answer."

ll2 Year OId brdian Chiel Helps Dedicate Logging Rcrilrocrd

When the 67 mile long logging railroad connecting N{cNary and Maverick, Arizona, was completed on June 18, a ceremony was held for the driving of the last spike. This honor was conferred on Tipah, an Apache tribal chief, who is 112 years old. Maverick, the railroad terminal, is in the very heart of the country where the Apache rn'ars occurred during the latter part of the nineteenth century, and is on the Apache Indian reservation. Chief Tipah was a soldier of the United States and served in the Seventh Cavalry under General Crook in the Indian wars of 1860 and 1870

Business Week Optimistic

The magazine "Business \Aleek," in reviewing the building industry so far this year, reports that home-building is still a boom all over this country, and predicts that 1949 will be the second-best year for postwar residential lrrrilding.

Yes, Sir, They Recd the C. L. M.

On May 3rd we sent you a release which you subsequently published, regarding the appointment of J. O. Parrish and Patrick H. Jackson as sales managers of The Diamond Match Company's commercial lumtrer operations in California and the Northrvest, respectively.

Ir-r the second and third paragraphs we referred to these men as managers instead of sales managers. This err<>r of ours has caused some confusion and rve have received a number of calls and letters from friends asking what the score is.

This has demonstrated two things: (1) You'r'e got a lot of readers, and (2) we should have been more careful in writing the announcement.

I'd deem it a great favor if you'd be good enough to correct the wrong impression created by our release, perhaps by publishing this letter.

A generation ago we printed a story in this department about a chameleon type of. lizard that turned the color of anything he touched, red, white, blue, green, etc. One day someone put him on a piece of Scotch plaid, and he busted himself wide open trying to make good.

Heard a similar story the other day about a hen. Two farmers were busy swapping lies, and one of them told

Twelve leading lines reported for the second quarter of this year a net profit of $10,800,000 as contrasted with a loss of about $19 million in the second quarter of last year. Higher mail pay, better service, and fewer accidents is the answer, together with increased advertising.

California State Chamber Protests Federal Forestry Legislation

The Forest Practices Act (S. 1820) recently introduced in Congress is characterized by James Mussatti, general manager of the California State Chamber of Commerce, as "one of the most far reaching attempts in American history to establish federal control of our natural resources and ouf economy."

"Should the Forest Practices Act become a law, it would place nearly all of the nation's forest and watershed areas -both federally and privately owned-under federal manag'ement, with the Secretary of Agriculture as chief administrative officer," Mussatti said.

An analysis of the bill, just completed by the State Chamber, shows the measure would:

1. Authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to establish and enforce forest practice rules in privately oi.vned forest areas in all states and territories where there is current or potential output of commercial forest products.

2. Authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to establish and enforce forest practice rules in privately owned forest areas located on watersheds of navigable streams, or which Jre so located as to affect the value of any federally owned land.

"Federal acreage added to private holdings, would account for nearly 95 per cent of all America's forest areas," Mussatti continued. "More than 65 Der cent of the nation's

total forest acreage is in private ownership. In addition, the federal government owns nearly 30 per cent. State and local governments own only about five per cent. The Forest Practices Act can easily be interpreted to give control of nearly all private forest holdings to the Secretary of Agriculture.

"California contains one-seventh of the nation's standing saw timber. The federal government already owns about 48 per cent of California's commercial forest area.

"Proponents of the measure contend that in past years, wasteful logging damaged timberlands, water supply and soil fertility. That was true in earlier times.

"Under the California Forest Practice Act of 1945, a code regulates lumbering operations on all of the state's private forest lands. These rules were drawn up by the industry under the 1945 legislation, then approved by the State Board of Forestry. Specific practices were formulated for different California areas and varieties. These practices are now successfully used. Several other states have similar provisions.

"However, federal authority, under the new proposal would establish a national control plan with rules and penalties. The carefully prepared California Forest Practice Act would be nullified unless the Secretary of Agri-

culture gives approval.

"Should the Secretary of Agriculture consider a state delinquent in executing its federally approved plan, he could, under the proposed act, order correction. If his orderivas not complied with within a year, the federal government might take charge of that state's forest areas, and the Secretary of Agriculture could withdraw all federal financial aid to that state for forest control, flood control or other natural resources programs.

"Without a specific federal permit, a landowner, under the proposal would have no freedom in managing his own holdings in excess of 40 acres in area. A fine up to $5000 could be levied against any person or firm selling forest products from any forest area the offender might own within the county where the alleged violation was cited.

"The bill rvould empower the Secretary of Agriculture to terminate any lumber operation he believes violates his

established rules. Enforcement rests with federal district courts upon application of the Secretary of Agriculturebut the proposed law would limit federal court procedure to review of evidence from the Secretary of Agriculture's hearings.

"The measure proposes appointment by the Secretary of Agriculture of a twelve-man National Forestry Board, with himself as chairman. This board would grant states three years' time to submit forest practices for their private lands-the plans to be approved by the Secretary of Agriculture. It would divide the nation into administrative areas, with the chief administration officer in each area apponted by the Secretary of Agriculture.

"Cost to the federal and state governments for such a program has not been announced by its proponents. Estimates made by private sources place the minimum at $35,000,000 annually."

\(/hat Has Become Of Hardwood Export Business?

Washington, D. C.-The Senate Committee on ECA appropriations has been asked to examine the cause for the practical destruction of the American hardwood lumber export business.

The request came from Lawrence D. Kellogg, president of the L. D. Kellogg Lumber Company, Alexandria, Louisiana, representing the National Lumber Exporters Association, the Southern Hardwood Producers, Inc., an association of lumber manufacturers, and the Hardwood Plywood Institute, an association of plywood manufacturers.

Kellogg said:

"Exports have been a mainstay in' the marketing of hardwood lumber for more than 50 years. I am here to appeal to this committee to do something because under the European Recovery Program our traditional and normal pattern of business in the export market is being destroyed."

(Both the Southern Hardwood Producers, Inc. and the Hardwood Plywood Institute are affiliated with the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, a federation of 16 regional lumber manufacturers associations).

Kellogg said that the United Kingdom has been "our best customer" for hardwood lumber. He said that European buyers have "generally preferred American hardwoods for many purposes."

When the Marshall Plan became effective, Kellogg said, it was expected that the full prewar volume of American lumber (about 200 million board feet annually) would be

ped."

In response to a question from Senator McKellar as tt-r why these purchases stopped, Kellogg said:

"We do not know for sure. We have been told that U. S. government officials requested that no American hardexported to Europe, but that upon inauguration of the Plan purchases by the United Kingdom "practically stopwood be purchased. This may be the reason. The British say that they cannot spare the dollars and must buy in another country with pounds. Some place in the formation of this entire plan there was an error made which caused us to lose our traditional market."

"The problem," Kellogg said, "is not a lack of desire on the part of buyers and consumers of Europe, but seems to be a refusal on the part of the governments of European countries to allocate the dollar credits (Marshall Plan) for the purchase of American hardwood lumber, although the number of dollars we made available was predicated upon their need for lumber among other things."

"We further know that to stay within the pound area the British are paying for hardwood products from other countries as much as fifty per cent more than the same products would cost in America, even though for fiftv years they have always considered American hardwood superior to any others," Kellogg stated.

Senator Kenneth McKellar (D., Tenn.) is chairman or the Senate subcommittee holding hearings on the app:opriation for the 1949-50 ECA budget.

Producers Council Predicts 1949 Housing Totcl of 850,000 Units

Between 825,000 and 850,000 new permanent nonfarnr housing units will be started in the United States this year, according to a revised forecast issued by the Producers' Council, a national organizalion of building products manufacturers.

The housing forecast represents a drop of between 9 and 12 per cent from the 931,000 units started on 1948, but the total would be larger than in any other year since 1926, the council stated.

If the 850,000 total is realized this year, it rvould mean that 3,400,000 new permanent housing units will have been added to the national housing supply since the end of World War II, it was pointed out.

Summer Vacation Period

All the Fir plywood plants of the Pacific Northwest have been shut down for an average of two weeks. This is ir, accordance with their labor contracts. Not all of them will re-open at the end of that period. Reports frorn some of the plywood centers state that some of the mills arc going to wait and see what the market 'trends are, before starting turning the wheels. At any rate the shut-down \as been general during the early part of July.

Frost To Diskibute Super Hcrrbord In San Diego Arecr

The Frost Hardwood Lumber Company, Market at State Street, San Diego, who have long served the retail lumber dealer trade in the San Diego territory with a complete jobber's stock of softwood and hardwood plywoods, hardwoods and building specialties, have recently added to their line a complete stock of genuine Super Harbord exterior type plywood, according to an announcement by the Harbor Plywood Corporation.

Recent shipments from the Hoquiam Washington mill include Giant size Super Harbord in several thicknesses and in lengths rp to 192". These outsized panels are particularly suited for the boat builder, for truck bodies, signs, and for cantilever overhangs, where the great strength of plywood is engineered into the structural features of buildings.

Lumber dealers will welcome the availability of this distributor's stock of quality outdoor plywood, which heretofore has been considered to be on a special order basis in the San Diego region.

Government Book on Plywood Is Complete Mcrnucrl

The Forest Products Division of the U. S. Department of Commerce at Washington sells for ten cents a copy, a 44 page book, profuse with illustrations, pictures, charts, etc., on the subject of "American Douglas Fir Plywood and Its lJses," which should be a part of the library of every merchant of plywood.

Big Aberdeen Plant Down For Three Weeks

Aberdeen, Washington, July 1: The big Aberdeen Plywood Corporation mill, which employs 360 workers, has closed down for a three weeks vacation, and may remain down even longer, depending on market conditions.

Vast timber resources of French Equatorial Africa lvill be tapped for American consumption this fall.

Under an agreement completed by Lawrence Ottinger, president, United States Plywood Corporation, and W. D. Illyne, chief of the mission of Compagnie Francaise du Gabon, 20 per cent of the output of the world's largest hardwood plywood mill, now nearing completion at Port Gentil on the Ogooue River in Gabon Province (FEA), will be available to the plywood company.

Pierre Pelieu, newly appointed governor of Gabon province, who has been director of the Office of French Overseas Territories with offices in New York City since 1944, hailed the new agreement as "an important step fostering international trade as advocated under the Marshall plan." Just before leaving New York to take over his new post, M. Pelieu said:

"The more goods we sell to the United States, the less we will need under the Marshall plan. American dollars are especially needed for the purchase of heavy machinery."

Mr .Ottinger explained that the new hardwood plywood mill will have a capacity of 10,000,000 feet a month of 'ivhich 2,000,000 feet will be available for American building, furniture and re-veneering purposes. He said:

"The entire project is being financed by the French, including the Paris banking house of Seligman & Co. United States Plywood Corporation is furnishing the technical skill in construction of the plant and will put it into operation about November 1.

"The quality of timber available in Gabon for plywood is exceptionally fine, the average diameter of the logs runnir.rg from 4 to 5 feet. Jhe predominant species is Okoume or Gabon mahogany, generally considered one of the finest woods for plywood manufacture and widely used in all European countries. In appearance Okoume is very much like African mahogany, somewhat lighter in color and not quite so highly figured."

M. Illyne pointed out that the great bulk of the output of the Gabon plant will be used to stimulate the French building industry. He explained that initially the plant will employ 700 native workers and 100 Europeans. The plant will be self-contained, having its own power plant which will be operated with wood waste. The homes of the Europeans will be air-conditioned. The natives objected to having their homes air-conditioned.

Another feature of the plant is an air-conditioned storage room for plywood. The controlled humidity prevents moulding.

For the past two years, United States Plywood has been importing Korina logs, a blonde hardwood from the Belgian Congo. The veneers are cut in New York City and made into plywood at the company's Algoma, Wis., plant.

John R. Osgood Joins His Father ln Business

llobert S. Osgood, Los Angeles, rvidely known wholesaler of lumber and veneers, makes the happy announcement that his son has become associated with him in busi' r1ess. The announcement follows :

"It afiords great pleasure and satisfaction to announcc that my son, John R. Osgood, joined this office July first. It brings back many interesting and happy memories to recall that it was j:ust 27 years ago on July lst, 1922, that I started business activities in Los Angeles, and I can only hope the lumber fraternity will extend him the same friendly, helpful and kindly consideration that I have appreciated so deeply all during that period'

"For the past two years, while completing his studies at UCLA, John has spent three half days a week in the office familiarizing himself with what goes on. Prior to that he was in the Army for three years, the last year of that period on special duty with the French Army in Austria. Ile was brought up in the lumber business, like his father and grandfather before him, and has put in periods of service at the Hoosier Veneer Co. plant in Indianapolis, at Byles-Jamison's pine sawmill in the High Sierras and at one of the local furniture plants. He is no green hand.

"With Johnny's addition to the staff, Jim Forgie and I, with the able assistance of our splendid Mildred Harman, who has handled the office so capably these past many years, will be able to give closer attention to the needs of our valued customers and do a constantly better job ol taking care of their requirements."

Califiornia Builders Supply Co. Sacramento'l7arehouse Expanded

Just a decade ago. in June, 1939, California Builders Supply Company established a Sacramento branch in an 11,C00 square foot warehouse at 15th and Spear to service the lumber dealers in the interior valley area of Northern California. This new venture was very 'ivell received and in a sl-rort time the necessity for larger quarters became apparent. In 1942 the company acquired a 20,000 square foot rvarehouse on McCormack Streei, and after completely renovating the building to meet the nerv requirements, moved to the new location.

\\lithin three mcnths the government served notice that it u'as co.mmandeering the newly refinished warehouse and would take over in 3O days. Lumber yard space was acquired at 1905-l9th Street, and in only 16 days, the yard r,vas rebuilt into a building supply material rvarehouse and, with the help of the Sacramento lumber dealers who supplied extra trucks and crews nights, Saturdays and Sundays, the move was made.

California Builders Supply reports that it hopes "the third time's the charm" and that no further moves are contemplated at the present time. tlowever, due to increased stocks and expanded service, it has been necessary to enlarge the warehouse. This program has been recently completed to cover approximately 27,Offi square feet.

The warehouse acts as an independent building supplv unit in serving the area. It combines its purchasing power rvith the other units but maintains its own sales. service and deliveries. Bill Blattner is manager.

Carl Crow Discusses The Lumber Situation

The Northwest lumber industry is norv just on the eve of moving into one of the semi-annual holiday periods. That this will have a temporary effect on the market is a foregone conclusion because it always does. Buyers who are in immediate need of stock, especially where they have been deferring placements and buying on a day-to-dav basis as they have been recently, are quite certain to want to make last-minute placements for quick shipment of lumber needed to complete jobs that are well advanced. That this will react beneficially, at least temporarily, to the mills that are prepared to supply kiln-dried uppers and common, particularly kiln-dried common, in mixed cars, is a foregone conclusion because the suppliers of this type already have good order files and will not be in a position to do much for eleventh hour placements.

An investigation which we have just made shows that tl-rere is going to be a lot of variance in the period of the Fourth of July holiday shutdowns. Some plants will be closed for two weeks. Others will take only a week off, that including some large plants. The effects of this temporary curtailment are somewhat softened, at least more than they were in bygone years, by the fact that the majority of the buyers of lumber, this including retail yards, also give their help vacations at this time, thereby reducing the immediate need for stock. We do not mean to give the impression that the tieups by the buyers are anywhere near sufficient to offset an immediate reduction in sawing programs but they are an important factor.

The greatest weakness in the market today, as everyone knows, is in the product which can be provided by mills that do not have facilities for supplying mixed cars containing kiln-dried uppers. These green mills have orders that have shrunk lower than they would like, and their inventories are slowly building up, as is proved by the figures published in the Barometer of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, rvhich includes only a minimum of the plants in this class.

Crow's Pacific Coast Lumber Digest is criticized by some folks for publishing reports that do not reflect a happy situation but during the 27 years we have been in this business we have held strictly to reporting the market as it is, regardless, and this we shall continue to do. For those who would make the wish father to the thought, ir is necessary to say that if they will study business conditions in general, the lumber market is not alone in its dou'nward trend, in fact some other commodities are in a

Opens Buying In Eureka

far rvorse position. The continuous softening of the stock market, despite the efforts which the administration has been making to encourage the buying of stocks, is a direct reflection of an overall picture which is unfavorable.

Emerging From Fool's Pcrrcrdise

It is astonishing to observe the thousands of young men and unthinking older ones who have come into the lumber industry during this most extended period of inflation that it has ever known, who think prices and conditions of the past few years have set up a new normal. It is this element in our industry which wails in loud complaint when even slight reference is made to the current status of business. They insist on a hush-hush policy which calls for making no mention of the overall economic situation while kidding ourselves into thinking things are good, regardless. No one likes a pessimist who always looks through blue glasses, but on the other hand we repeat that no problem as serious as that norv confronting the lumber industry has ever been solved by etuading the issue.

Take a look at the price record of key Fir items, 1939 to June, 1949:

The law of supply and demand is a natural law, just as natural as the law of gravity. lt can be deflected from its course temporarily, but only temporarily. No politicrl organizalion, no individual can ignore supply and demand for long. No sack is long enough to keep bribing the larv of supply and demand. This earth of ours is a productive sphere greater in its divine guidance than any selfish plan of control man can devise to hold its productiveness in restraint. Smart iumbe.-en are willing to acknorvledge this and also to admit that we are just emerging from a fool's paradise and have yet a considerable distance to go before leveling off at a healthy altitude which can be maintained.

Rosebery's Inspired Tribute to Robert Burns

"Try and reconstruct Burns as hs $rs5-a peasant born in a cottage that no sanitary inspector in these days would tolerate for a moment; struggling with desperate effort against pauperism, almost in vain; scratching at scraps of learning in the intervals of toil, as it were, with his teeth; a heavy, silent lad, proud of his plow.

"All of a sudden, without preface or warning, he breaks out into exquisite song like a nightingale from the woodbrush, and continues singing as sweetly in nightingale pauses, until he dies. The nightingale sings because he cannot help it; he can only sing exquisitely becau'se he knows no other way.

"So it was with Burns. What is this but inspiration? One can no more measure or reason about it than measure or reason about Niagara. Ffis verses go straight to'thc heart of every home, they appeal to every father and mother; but that is only the beginning, perhaps the foundation of his sympathy. There is something for everybody in Burns. His universality makes his poems a treasurehouse in which all may find what they want. Every wayfarer on the journey of life may pluck strength and courage from it as he pauses. The sore, the weary, the wounded will all find something to heal and soothe. For this great master is the universal Samaritan. Where the priest and the Levite may have passed by in vain, this eternal heart will still afford resource.

"Like the growth of the earth he is the fruit of all seasons, the accident of a thousand accidents, a living mystery moving through the seen to the unseen; he is sown in dishonor; he is matured under all the varieties of heat and cold, in mists and wrath, in snow and vapors, in the melancholy of autumn, in the torpor of winter as well as in the fragrance of summer, or the balmy affluence of spring, its breath, its sunshine; at the end he is reaped, the product not of one climate but of all, not of good alone but of sorrow, perhaps mellowed and ripened, perhaps stricken and withered and sour. How, then, shall we judge anyone? I{ow, at any rate, shall we judge a giant, great in gifts and great in temptation; great in strength and great in weakness? Let us glory in his strength and be comforted in his weakness; and when we thank heaven for the inestimable gift of Burns, we do not need to remember wherein he was imperfect; we can not bring ourselves to regret that he was made of the same clay as ourselves."

"IIow old is this boy?" asked the conductor.

Ode On Solitude By Alexcnder Pope, Age Twelve

Happy the man whose rvish and care

A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air In his own ground.

Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread

Whose flocks supply him with attire, Whose trees in summer yield him shade, fn winter, fire.

Blest, who can unconcernedly find, Hours, days, and years glide soft away, In health of body, peace of mind, Quiet by day.

Sound sleep by night; study and ease

Together mixed, sweet recreation; And innocence which most does please, With meditation.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus unlamented, let me die; Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.

Mr. and Mrs. Newrich were staying at an expensive and exclusive seaside hotel. One evening, in a group, the conversation turned to music, and Mozart was mentioned.

"What a coincidence !" said Mrs. Newrich. "Only this morning f saw Mr. Mozart and his wife on the No, 5 bus going down to the treach."

A dreadful silence followed.

As soon as they were alone together, her irritated husband jumped all over her. "I told you," he said, "Not to talk about things unless you know what you're talking about."

"But what did I do wrong?" she wanted to kriow.

"How dumb you are," he said. "You've been down here long enough to know that the No. 5 bus doesn't go down to the beach."

Promoted Secretary

N. R. L. D. A.

Edward H. Libbey, former assistant-secretary of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association was promoted to secretary at a recent meeting of the board of directors in Washington, D. C.

Mr. Libbey has been connected with the industry for the past 8 years and has rendered valuable service to the retail lumber and building material dealer as the Association contact-man with the government bureaus and agencies.

During the war his service to the Nation's retail lumber dealers, included maintaining constant vigilance in interpreting the kaleidoscopic changes occurring in hundreds of war orders issued by WPB, OPA and scores of other control agencies. In the immediate postwar period, his knowledge of the intricate situations within deteriorating war agencies and the Phoenix-like rebirth of new peace time agencies, enables the National to stand guard over the fluctuating fortunes of the retail lumber industry during the reconversion to a peace time economy.

More recently he has served as coordinator of the Association's outstanding educational program, popularly known as the 30-Day Short Course, now being conducted in fourteen major universities.

His appointment to the position of secretary-manager follows the changing of the title of H. R. Northup from secretary to executive vice president.

New Oregon Hard Board Plant Now ln Production

strong fibers in Douglas Fir prove to be particularly sui,cnble for the production of this pressed hard board.

The Forest hard board plant is designed to manufacture this board by a completely controlled manufacturing proccss rvhich guarantees the panels to be especially resistant to chipping, breaking, cracking and denting. It is claimed that each of the Forest hard board panels is completelv ur.riform in density and hardness thus making it possible to work the board with ordinary wood rvorking tools, as rvell as take paint finishes by spraying, brushing or baking.

The new plant incorporates all the latest mechanical improvements including the country's largest press. This press produces Forest hard board panels 16, long and i, wide. Initial production will include panels in sizes ranging from 4'x( to 4'xl€, and thicknesses of r/4',, s/r6,t an(l %". Panels are packaged in units of six.

Plant production is nou' 500,000 square feet per rveek and capacity will be increased in the near future to 1.000.000 square feet of hard board per week.

The Stimson Lumber Company, also of Forest Grove, has been appointed sales agent for the nerv Forest hard board.

Introduction of Forest hard board, a completely new hard board panel processed from Douglas Fir Fibers has been announced by Harold A. Miller, president of Fore,;t Fiber Products Company, Forest Grove, Oregon.

Forest hard board is produced in a new plant which is the first major unit in the company's plans for furthei' utilization of marginal Douglas Fir lumber. The long,

Building Costs Decline In Pacific States

F, W. Dodge Corporation reports on the basis of an opinion survey among builders that building costs in the Pacific States have declined between 7 and 10 per cent in the last year in this region, with an expectancy on the part of builders of a further decline of 10 per cent in the next five months. The decline which has taken place af{ected single-family houses more extensively than largetype buildings. The region is comprised of Washington, Oregon and California'

The Dodge corporation analysts reported that there has been a steady improvement in the productivity of building craftsmen during the last year, with the amount of additional output being approximately 10 per cent. Further improvement is expected during the remainder of the year, the survey shows.

Government Acts to Relieve Lumber Price Squeeze

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5-To provide purchasers of National Forest timber with "insurance" against a squeeze betr,veen the high cost of timber and falling lumber prices, the U. S. Forest Service today took action to adjust the cost of National Forest timber periodically to fluctuating market prices.

Perry A. Thompson, IJ. S. Regional Forester for California, explained that National Forest timber is appraised and advertised at a minimum price for sale to bidders. Under the procedure in effect until today the successful bidder cut and paid for the timber at the bid price, which was never less than the advertised price. If the lumber market went down, or up, the price of his timber remained at the bid rate.

Under the new system, the procedure will be the same except that the price the bidder agrees to pay for the timber rvill be adjusted quarterly to the average market prices of lumber as shown by the price index of the Western Pine Association. The adjustment will be 40 per cent of the decrease, or increase of the price of lumber as shown by the index. For example, if the lumber price index drops $10 below the base index, the cost of National Forest timber will automatically drop $4.00. If the price index goes up $10, the cost of timber will go up $4.00. The new system can not apply to short-term National Forest timber sale contracts already in force, but may be used in existing long-term contracts which have provision for stumpage rate adjustment.

Controls Are Ended

credit controls of the federal government 28th, Congress having failed to extend Reguthe Fede:al Reserve Board.,

Sqles Tqx Increased

The California State sales tax automatically jumped from two and one-half to three per cent on all retail purchases except food on July first, 1949.

Mr. Thompson said, "As a result of uncertainty in the general economic situation, lumber manufacturers have been reluctant to buy National Forest timber at present rates. Many believe that lumber prices are headed for a sharp drop in 1949.

"The eft'ect of this new system is to divide the risk of lumber price fluctuations between the Govsrnment and the timber purchaser. Our purpose is to contribute to the stability of California's lumber industry, its workers and the many communities dependent on timber from the national forests."

Weyerhaeuserfs Most Modern Plant

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 29-Conant Dodge, assistant chief engineer for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma, Washington, spoke before the semi-annual meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers here today. His subject was the industrial power plant recently installed by Weyerhaeuser at their Springfield, Oregon operation.

The plant, according to Dodge, is the most modern of its type in the Pacific Northwest. Almost completely automatic, it burns any kind of hogged fuel and in an emergency can use oil. The plant converts slabs, sawdust, bark and similar mill refuse into electric power, thus utilizing a part of the timber ctop which might otherwise be wasted, Dodge pointed out.

Aberdeen Editor \(/rites About Western Forestry

(By Edward Von Syckle in the Alerdeen, V/ashinston \florld)

Collier's Weekly is advocating editorially in its current issue that the United States should copy Sweden's law to prevent "wanton deforestation," making it compulsory for timber owners to plant a tree to replace every tree cut do'ivn. The editorial reports that both our forests and waters arc, going, the latter through pollution of waste from factories, and that the wild life of the country mav be extinct in the foreseeable future.

As a remedy for this denuding of our natural resources, Collier's urges that there must be a ne'lv tree for every one cut, that factory owners must provide adequate waste disposal plants, and tl.rat "hunters and fishermen should pay a fair price for the game they remove."

Granted that Collier's aims are commendable, far-sighted and worthy of practice, but there is another phase to the question, too. William D. Hagenstein, forest engineer for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said that the people of the United States do not have to worry about a timber famine. He said the U. S. forest service is telling "only half the story" of the lumber supply situation in thrs country.

"Tens of millions of acres of forest from an 180,000,000acre source are reaching sar,v timber size every decade, but are not being calculated by the governmeut," llagenstein said. "In 1944 the U. S. forest service stated that there were 95,0@,000 acres of pole size timber and that 85,500,000 acres of seedlings and saplings grorving in the United States. They rvere not computed as of that time as contributing to the current board foot growth even though they rvere passing {rom cubic feet size to saw timber sizewhicl-r is 15 inches, according to government estimates.''

He cited that in I92O the Capper report shorved a ratio of 5.6 board foot rvithdrarval to one board foot replacement in saw timber. In 1944 the U. S. forest service shorved a ratio of 1.53 feet u'ithdrarvn to one replaced. That is a vast ratio reduction.

In fact rnost lumbermen well recognize the advisability of replacing cut timber, though it cannot be der-ried that more needs to be done in this direction. Yet, vast strides have been made in the past 10 years torvard perpetuating America's forests, especially those in the Northwest. The

Wcrge Hour Legislction

The I-abor Subcommittee of the California State Senate voted unanimously to report to the full comrnittee a bill for limite<l revision of the Fair Labor Standards Act. This bill u'ould raise the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents per hour.

FIIA Birthdcy

June 27th was the fifteenth birthday of FHA. During its lifetime 2,500,000 American families have taken advantage of its lorv interest rates and long time credit.

tree farm movement has been a great boom to future lumbering, while big lumber outfits, looking a long way ahead. have made forest replacement a matter of basic policy.

Grays llarbor, which is sort of a forest laboratory, has seen wanton cutting and denuding of vast areas; it also is seeing wholesale replanting of forests. It has seen the lumberman's policy change in a matter of one decade from thoughtlessness o{ the future, to future planning and planti.tg. In fact the region's whole economy in a matter of years will be based upon efforts to keeping the forest producing, reaping only what can be replaced and cutting only as it is replaced.

This is a hard fact impressed upon the region by the rapid retreat of virgin forests. The lush days are over; everyone realizes that, but everyone also realizes the pt-rtential growing powers of Grays Harbor forest lands. We are banking on foresight, on the work of replanting, fire prevention and ever-willing Nature to keep our industries going for generations to come.

Los Angeles Speaker Urges Retirrn To Gold Standard

Congressional authorization of the sale and purchase of gold by private parties in a free open market followed by return to a true gold standard was urged in Los Angeles recently by Economist Joseph S. Lawrence, vice-president of the Empire Trust Co., New York.

At a meeting of the Mining Committee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence described the virtues of gold as an "eminently satisfactory" medium of exchange, an honest measure of value, a "safe haven" for the thrifty, a refuge for capital in disturbing periods, and a check upon "wilful and dishonest" finance ministers.

"If these virtues do not stand forth clearly today, it is not the fault of gold," he declared.

Today gold "stands as an impediment to the onwarrl rush of totalitarianism," he added. "It cramps the style and limits the ambitions of socialist schemers and softboiled dogooders."

Answering the charge that gold is not necessary for a sound currency, Lawrence said, "We have yet to see a single instance of successful fiat money management."

The economist named these functions which gold has ro perform in the postwar world : anchoring confidence in the currency, limiting deficit financing and removing from the treasury the "seductive lure" of added debt as a substitute for taxes;

Acting as a common demoninator for translating one currency into another, and affording the common citizen an opportunity to record his distrust of the government b1' permitting him to translate paper money into gold.

Anodized aluminum no-drip edge metal is easily appliecl and secures Formacove strongly ar-rd snugly leaving no room for dirt or germs to creep between, and no space for possible dampness.

"Termite Clearance" Legally Defined

Two points concerning the recent legal definition of the guarantee for "termite clearance," a provision carried in thousands of Los Angeles real estate transactions, were stressed tcday by Mr. Harry Tanner, prominent pest control operator and president of Jewett, Inc.

"Termite clearance, despite its name," said N[r. Tanner, "means first that a property in question has present n.r wood destroying organisms in any form. This includes decay-producing fungi, u'hich cause at least 60 per cent of damage to wood in Los Angeles County real estate properties. Termites, the spectacular, well publicized u'ood destroyers account for only 40 per cent in the total bili for pest control work, in spite of their n'ide-spread activit.v in the Southwestern area of the nation.

California Panel and Veneer Co., I-os Angeles, annoullces the exclusive distribution of Formacove-a new pcstformed Formica, pre-fabricated by Blue Ox Industries. Itedwbod City, California.

There is, in the home of today, a heavy demand thlt continues to grow, for a drainboard that is easy to clean and to keep clean. One which will be sanitary at all times rvithout excessive scrubbing and polishing. Formacove is the answer to this need. No joining at the backsplasir is necessary for Formacove is a one piece unit 25" deep (or less as required) and ranges in length from 2 feet to 8 feet with the backsplash in height to 72". There can be no deterioration of drainboards caused by dirt harbored in cracks there are on such cracks in Formacove corlstruction.

Formacove laminated material is produced in a varietv cif colorful patterns-linen, pearlescent and batik-and mzn' be had irr standard colors of grey, tan, blue, red, greeu,

"Secondarily, but equally important to property o\\.ners. is the requirement that there must be no conditions in a structure to help the growth of rvood destroying agencies. Unless proper control has eliminated these conditions a licensed strttctural pest control officer cannot grant clearance. Such things as poor ventilation under basernentless homes, excessive shrubbery close to untreated t'oocl, ancl loose boards lying on the ground but touching foundatio,r lumbei are examples of conditions requiring control."

Nlr. Tanner's statement n,as in reference to the clarificzrtion of this well-known phrase made for the first time by Municipal Judge Daniel N. Stevens in the recent case of Gale vs. Ryan, Superior Court 549610. In its decision the court defined "termite clearance" as a binding cor.enant, rvhich places a legal obligation on the seller to pror.ide thr: buyer with a report by a licensed pest control officer. The report must state that the property for sale shows no sigrrs of rvood destroying insects and fungi and has no conditions pcrn-ritting their development after the sale is completecl.

Farmers M.y Borrow

To Build Grain Storage

Grain storage assistance to farmers was again authorizeC when the President recently signed the Commodity Credit Corporation Bill. Detailed information on the program and its functioning in your communities may be obtained from your County Agricultural Conservation Committees' The following 5 points are particularly important in your consideration of this program:

1. This program for additional storage facilities is intended to apply to the storage not only of wheat and corn, but also of rye, oats, barley, grain sorghunl, soybeans, flaxseed, rice, dried edible beans, dried peas and peanuts.

2. The release to the State Production and Marketing Administration Chairmen also has gone to the County Agricultural Conservation Committee in each county and all farmers will make their applications for loans direct to these committees, and the commitments to loan will be granted by these committees. IJnder the subject of "Eligible Structures," the Department has made clear that "loans will not be made for repair, remodeling or maintenance of present f:rcilities or for the purchasing' of second-hand facili-

4. Amount of LoansThe maximum amount to be loaned to a farmer shall be 45c per bushel of rated capacity of the bin, or s|o/s of. the cost, whichever is the smaller.

5. In determining the capacity of the storage facilities to be erected, two and one-half cubic feet shall be considered to represent the capacity for one bushel of ear corn, and one and one-quarter cubic feet shall represent one bushel of capacity for all other commodities.

(The above is from a bulletin of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California.)

Northwest Mills Claim Britcrin Borrows Our Money to Buy Lumber Elsewhere

Ietepnones:

WHOLESALE

In the Iracific Northu'est right now there is high indignation over the u,ay Britain handles her lumber purchases. \\rith lumber purchases financed by a special ten nrillion dollar ECA loan from the U. S. to Britain, it is reported that the British are using tnost of this money to buy lumber in Canada rather than over here. It is the ur.rderstanding of the lumber folks that u'e lend Britain cash so that they can buy American goods, and they feel that they are not getting a fair deal. It is understood that 7.1 million feet of orders have been placed in Canada and 50 million feet in the United States.

N{oreover, it is claimed that the British timber control thre'iv out the first bids they received because the American price u,as ttnder that of the Canadian mills, and rerlreu, the specifications to give the Canadians the inside track. So there is much grumbling in the Northwest

Furthermore, British timber control has notified Northwest lttmber manufacturers that Eureka, California, and Nervl>ort, Oregon, have been removed from the list of ports at r'r'hich British ships u'ill stop hereafter to pick up lumber. This action has brought protest from the American Association of Shipowners.

It is further claimed that this is the second time recently tl-rat American lumber manufacturers have been slighted by the British, since they bought a lot of lumber last December and did not allorv Americans to bid on it'

Matl-rias Nieu,enhous, chief of the ECA lumber division, is reported to be in England at this time checking into lumber affairs.

The idea is simplicity itself. At the USG plant, paint is sprayed across one end of each sheet of metal lath. All 3.4 lb. lath is sprayed red;2.5 lb. diamond mesh and 2.75 lb. flat riblath are sprayed white; 4 lb. /{-inch riblath is sprayed blue.

\\/hen the dealer or contractor receives a shipment, a. glance at the end of the bundle tells him the weight and type. Warehousing and distributing is easier, because it's done by color. Application is simplified, because there's no need to exantilre each sheet to determine weight, or the correct position for installation. By keeping the colored end to the right of the sheet, the lather is assured that the metal lath rvill be installed in such a rvay on sidervalls as to insure minimum plaster usage.

A Holfco News Article

A recent issue of "The Hoffco Nervs" published by the Earl Hoffmarl Company, of Los Angeles, printed the follou'ing very interesting paragraph:

"2,500,000 American families are now living in dwelling accommodations provided for under the F. H. A. plan of home financing. It is urged that F. H. A. facilities be extended to promote the purchase of new homes by more and more people, instead of putting into effect a public housing scheme which would discourage the private construction of homes. It's the private home builder rvll() brings together the effort of hundreds of industries and nlakes the home a final sales target for thousands of manrrfacturing concerns, either directly, through the distribution of equipment and materials or, indirectly through the supplying and servicing of the cornpanies which sell to builders and home buyers. Should private home building be allorved to lag, and less buying po\ver be the result, the nations 250,000 lumber dealers (quite a chunk of which are in Southern California) lvould, along rvith all others concerned; be effected economically."

Will Hecr Wcge-Hour Argument

The U. S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear argument on a lower court decision which would exclude employees covered by the Walsh-Healey Act from the benefits of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The Walsh-Healey Act covers wage and hour conditions r-rn Government contracts. While many of its provisions are the same as those of the so-called "wage-hour" law, if does not give workers the right to sue. Nor do workers receive a\\'ards of damages over and above the wages tc, rvhich they were originally entitled. Yesterday's action involved Iitigation concerning workers in the Arkansas ordnance plant and who sued for overtime pay under the wage-hour law.
