A la.s lumber dealers enter a period of increasing competition, successful selling and merchandising methods are always welcome.
The Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service has been thorougNy time-tested and sales-proved. It has demonstrated its singular effectiveness in helping dealers to locate prospects and close sales.
Dealers who are using this Service, and the promotion material supporting it, will tell you that it is successful because it offers great value to home owners the proved appeal of modern homes that are architect-designed and Weyerhaeuser-engineered.
Some of the "best sellers" from this Service are illustrated. They reflect the freshness of modern styling, open planning, simplicity of design and sound economical construction
that is achieved through competent engineering and the use of standard in-stock building materials.
fn promoting these extra-value homes, there is a strong program of national advertising in leading home magazines and material for local promotion which dealers are efrectively using in establishing their yards as centers for top values in professionally planned homes.
Each month Weyerhaeuser continues to bring to dealers employing this Service a smart, modern design complete with blueprints and material Iists. a full-color reproduction of each month's home for insertion in their master book of designs. Weyerhaeuser continues to maintain the 4-Square Home Building Service as a practical selling tool for the exclusive use of retail lumber dealers and their customers.

Gentle Reader, do you know a columnist and radio commentator by the name of Bill Cunningham? Hope so. You should. We have listened to him about noon time every Sunday for a long while, and there is a thrill in every lS-minute report of his. There is a thrill in his thoughts, and another in his metho'd of expression.
Watch your radio ti"tir,|, Jnd."o*.at*e around noon on Sunday his voice will come to you over the air. We get a great kick out of this air talker. He lays down his facts in clear and articulate terms, and before he gets through he sends his indignation or his praise crashing into your ears. And, if you think as we do and as most other good Americans do, you'll just love Bill Cunningham, who broadcasts from Boston, his home.
A lot of changes may take place in the Korean situation before this column reaches our readers, but his thoughts on Korea as broadcast for the last several Sundays have demanded our attention and admiration. His loyalty is to his country and her sad war in Korea; but his sympathies are strictly with Korea-South Korea-and he brings tears to your eyes as he tells about it.
And in his last Uro"a"J"t "" in", situation, he predicts that we will do the only thing possible right now, that is get an armistice as soon as possible, and do our durndest to make it stick. But, he says, if that fails to bring peace and we have to fight there again, let us fight an all-out war to win in old American style, and settle that bloody matter once and for all, and let us say to the dissenters and the 5 percenters and all those who advise semi-war: "Stand back and shut up."
Is there anyone *nr ,"luJtn]se nnes who will not say Amen to Bill Cunningham's words? Is there anyone who isn't sick at heart over the whole fiasco in Korea, and of the part we have had to play in it?
Someone else other than Bill Cunningham made us rear up on our hind legs and shout a bit the other day when he wrote: "If MacArthur was the kind of man who would say 'I told you so,' wouldn't he have terrific things to say right now?" Everything the Magnificent Mac said, everything he predicted, all the advice that he gave when he was in Korea, all these things have proven sound as Scripture. And the two little men who forced him to fight with one hand tied behind him and then fired him because he didn't like it and said sc-wonder how they feel about the whole mess?
President Ike has met with much opposition on his proposal to reduce sharply the cost of the air force. While we just automatically back the General in anything he decides in the handling of his huge job and feel like throwing rocks at those who are not in position to know what goes on yet oppose him, we have kept our jury out on this subject. But we got our minds completely made up on the President's side of the controversv.
t*{<
Here's how it happened. A man by the name of Harry Truman recently showed up in Washington for a visit, and he made a speech in which, according to the newspaper reports, he strongly condemned President Ike's determination to cut air force costs. That settled the matter with us. When it comes to Mr. Truman we are completely open minded. We just take the opposite side from anything he says. Based on many years' experience in watching the man, it is our opinion that you can't go wrong by coppering his bets.
***
And what do you know? One Mrs. El'eanor Roosevelt burst into print just a few days ago. There was nothing unusual about her bursting into print and offering to settle all the problems of the world. Nor was there anything surprising about what she said.She announced herself, according to the papers, as favoring the complete elimination of the Congressional Committee, which for years past has been fighting Communism in this country. No one can say the talkative woman isn't consistent. She's been condemning that Committee and its activities since she first invaded Washington long years ago. She doesn't forgive. The Committee used to name names in a way that made her and her husband hopping mad. Let us join together in prayer that it will continue to do so.*
Senator Joe McCarthy has challenged former Secretary of State Dean Acheson to come forward and explain how the books and writings of 250 Communist authors and
C. D. Johnson rail orders are promptly filled and shipped direct from huge covered loading sheds at the Toledo mill. These promptly filled shipments arrive at destination in the same prime condition in which they left our mill easy to check, unload and dispatch. For rail lumber shipments to any point in the country, contact C. D. Johnson first. Mixed cars a specialty.
writers found their way into overseas libraries of the United States? Of course the dignified Dean isn't going to come forward, nor is he going to explain. We are told that those books are being eliminated from our overseas library. Which doesn't settle the matter by a heck of a lot ! Ask any American you meet and see what he thinks about it ! Not only should the truth be told about who is responsible for that mass of Communistic literature being shoved into our libraries, but whoever the guilty party is he should be punished. If what he has done is not sufficiently criminal to jail him, at least he should be named and ptrblicized and held up to public scorn so that those who run may read. Why should anybody be allowed to get away with such a deed?
You don't think, uo ,o,l ;; reader, that those innumerable subversive books got there by accident? That didn't just happen, did it? It couldn't possibly have been coincidence, now could it? Some person or persons with hatred in his heart for the United States, made those arrangements! Who? You know, don't you, what Teddy Roosevelt would do in such a case? He would say-"Catch them and bring them in." Wish my friend lke, whom we so much admire, would say the same thing.
t{<*
We think ihe speech about "book burning" which President Ike made, and which got so much publicity, was a great error. It started all the subversive tongues shouting that the President was criticizing the destruction of Communistic literature. It is most unlikely that he had any such intention when he spoke the words that some ill-advised person had prepared for him. Anyway, he tried to offset the opinion when he intimated on June 17, that putting anti-American books into foreign countries under United States auspices was "practically traitorous action." Sure ! And we should take the proper action to corral the "practically traitorous" perpetrators of the deed.
We have declared in tii":";*" severat times of late that if the American people, and especially the American taxpayers, had a chance to express their opinions, there would be some mighty changes made in many of our big national affairs, such as spending abroad, farm subsidies, and others of vast importance. Since which some very interesting testimony has been produced in that direction. Three United States Congressmen, one from New York and two from California, have recently sent out questionnaires to find out how their constitutents stand on some very important matters, and their replies should make an impression on every one of our national policy makers.
{<**
The three Congressmen are Stuyvesant Wainright, of New York, and Pat Hillings and Joe Holt of Southern California. They asked somewhat similar questions. One question was: "Do you think the United States should bomb Manchurian bases and blockade Red China?" The replies were much alike. To this question Mr. Wainright's replies were 70 yes, 10 no, and 17 no opinion. Another question was: "Do you favor reducing our foreign economic
aid program?" 85 of Mr. Wainright's answers said yes, onlY 8 said no'
Mr. Holt asked his people: "Should Congressional committees continue investigating Communism in the field of education?" The replies were nearly 10 to 1, yes. He asked: "Should the present price-support program for farmers be continued?" 57 said no, and 26 said yes. The other two Congressmen found their replies heavily against continuing the farm support program. It was heaviest in New York.
Makes this column kind of proud. It has been saying that the people of this country are opposed to farm subsidies, economic foreign aid, and Communism in education. At least here are three Congressional districts where the voters are heavily on our side and of our opinion. And those same citizens are opposed to allowing the Communists to hold sanctuary forts in the Korean war. They favor a war to win, just as Bill Cunningham said in his broadcast'
Farm subsidies and farm surpluses continue to attract the attention of the newsgatherers of the nation, bgt there is no room for discussion of same at this time. The latest thing on the subject was the announeement that it has been costing the Government $40,000 PER MONTH to store just the surplus peas alone which we have bought to support the market price of that vegetable. Think of that, forty thousand dollars a month just to store peas. Wonder what it costs to store butter? Now there must be a fine item !
Maybe the joker was near right who, when asked what farm subsidies are costing this Government, replied: "Ten billion dollars, based on daylight saving time."

Robert E. Mahaffay, Trade Promotion Director for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, will assume tl-re additional duties of advertising manager on July 1, H. V. Simpson, WCLA executive vice president has announced.
Mahaffay replaces Paul E. Kendall, widely-known lumber advertising authority, who had reached the association's compulsory retirement age.
An ex-Seattle newspaperman, Mahaffay has headed up the association's diversified promotion program for the past five years, and has been closely associated with its national advertising effort during that time.
Since the end of World War II Mahaffay has supervised the development and distribution of more than seven million pieces of lumber promotion literature, and established the association's motion picture and television program. He implemented the West Coast industry's promotion of the lower grades of lumber.
Simpson disclosed that the Association's combined adver-
tising and promotion program is the most ambitious in the industry's history, with the total appropriation for 1953 approaching one million dollars.
The next meeting of the Southern California Lumber Seasoning Association will be held at Mike Lyman's Grill, Los Angeles, Thursday evening, August.6. The speaker will be a representative of the Foxboro Co. Charlie Lakeman, E. J. Stanton & Son, and Earl Simon, Hammond Lumber Company, will be in charge of the question and answer period.
At the Association's meeting held at Mike Lyman's on June 4, President Robert P. Inglis presided at the business session and gave an interesting and informative report on the Boise, Idaho, Conference. Matters of interest to the industry were also discussed.
Attending the meeting were: Grant Roberts, Bill Meyer and Robert P. Inglis, Associated Molding Co.; Harry Robinson, Patten-Blinn Lumber Co.; J. H. Van Patten, J. H. Van Patten Co.; R. R.

Writing in "Building Supply News," Norman P. Mason, formerly president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and now chairman of the Construction and Civic Department Committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, discusses in practical fashion the present possibilities offered the retail lumber industry by the repair and fix-up market. His remarks follow:
Keeping up to date a stock of 43,000,000 non-farm family dwellings is the challenge now facing the construction industry. The possibilities are exciting. Perhaps a whole nerv phase of the construction industry may develop because of the opportunities it presents. A critical study discloses some statistical facts.
This study shows that the actual size of the fix-up market is generally much understated. It shows how current activity of this kind might be as much as 5O percent more than the official estimates. It shows also how even this simplified figure can be enlarged by more alert attention to the possibilities of repair and remodeling work and by the vigorous application of better methods for getting the job done.
In short, we believe that the residential fix-up business may now be running over 6f billions of dollars and that another one or two billions could be added to it. Such a total would make this activity more important than any other category of private construction activity except ner,v residential building itself.
This figure (an estimated $6.6 billion), large as it is, does not on the whole represent the results of active promotion. A certain amount of fix-up work is more or less automatic. A leaking roof or a cracked pipe has to be repaired; a broken-down heating plant has to be replaced if the house is to remain habitable. Other remodeling work takes place because owners seek ways to increase their comfort, or to improve their income if the property is rented. But in most cases the initiative has come from the owner, rather than from the industry.
But, even if all the existing homes were put in a minimum state of good repair, a large market would still be left untouched. People can be sold the actual needed repairs; but beyond this there is a tremendous market for making homes more comfortable, more attractive and easier to work in. For instance, the kitchen and the laundry offer numerous opportunities for modernization. And ah,vays there is the chance of freshening the look of things with new paint, wall paper, floor coverings, and draperies, even though it would be physically possible to make the old do a while longer.
The need for more space, however, outdoes all the other incentives for remodeling. For nearly 2O years rve have been building houses smaller and smaller, while since the end of. World War II the number of children has been steadily increasing. Only in the past year or two have we reached the point where there is a slight trend in the opposite direction. The little houses have become too cramped. Extra bedrooms are needed, and extra bathrooms, more
play space, ampler living and cooking facilities. N{ost of this demand will have to be taken care of by expanding and rearranging existing houses. To assume that a billion dollars a year above current expenditures could go into this kind of rvork alone is not to strain credibiiity.
As a rough calculation will show, no one need fear that greater stimulation of repair and maintenance rvill harm the new house market. We have capacity to produce new houses at an average rate of about one and a quarter million a year. If we assume nerv families to be formed at as lou' an averag'e rate as 650,000 a year, and that about 100,000 units are removecl each year because of disaster or replacement of other kinds of building, we have a basic requirement of approximately 750,000 new units a year. This would leave of the 1.25 million total some 500,000 units annually to replace existing old l-rouses. It is easy to see that rvith this possible rate of replacement-ald 'ivith the 43,000,000 houses now on hand-each must be made to last from 80 to 90 years. It is pretty obvious from this that the older houses rvill not interfere with the new house market.
There is. l-rou'ever, more to it than mere non-interference u'ith the nerv house market. Fix-up can be a positive help to the sale of new houses by making existing houses also easier to sell. Most ne.iv houses are not sold to new families but to families that have been established for some time and that often are moving from an already-owned house. Ability to make the move usually depends upon making a satisfactory sale of the older house. It takes no argument to demonstrate that a house in good repair is more salable than one in shoddy condition.
A difficulty encountered in the remodeling market is the disadvantage it faces, compared rvith new construction, in the financing terms available to it. For very small jobs the FHA system of insured loans for repair and modernization has proved helpful; but its cost is high for work of any size. The cost of uninsured consumer financing is usually even higher. When the loan is of sufficient size to warrant mortgage security (which generally is the case when the remodeling is done in connection with a home purchase), the initial payment requirement is ordinarily larger and the amortization much shorter than with new construction.
The equalization of mortgage terms for new and wellmaintained existing houses might be considered as one means for stimulating fix-up work. Helpful also is the suggestion for the wider use of the "open-end" mortgage, which would permit a householder to borrow additional sums for improving his property under an already existing mortgage agreement.
Because the demand for new housing during the next few years may be somer.vhat less than we have recently experienced, there is greater urgency for putting the remodeling business on a firm footing. Here is one area in which industry need have no fear of a slackening demand. Its only problem is to develop quickly the technical and financial methods for satisfying the demand.

Western-California Lumber Company, 7125 Firest<.rne Blvd., Downey, California, known as "Western-Cal" is the culmination of years of effort by two well known and experienced lumbermen. E. Richard Zielke and W. Ernest Moss have pooled their resources, their finances and knolvledge of the lumber business to form a new company offering special service. Their combined experience embraces every phase of lumber activity from the mills right through wholesale distribution to retailer, thence to the consumer.
"Dick" Zielke, whose experience with wood products dates back to 1921, in Los Angeles County since 1945, was a partner in the Monarch Lumber Company until its liquidation. During the period he r.vas an offrcer of the concerll, he operated the company owned mills in Oregon. He is well informed as to the needs of Southern California lumber users and dealers.
"Ernie" Moss came to Southern California in l92l following a successful career in the lumber business. in Iowa and Idaho. His experience in the retail phase of lumber sales qualifies him to speak the language of the retail dealer, as he worked in retail selling :until 1947, when he became associated with Erik Flamer, rvholesale lumberman of Long Beach. California.
Western-Caiifornia will engage in wholesale to lumber dealers only and they stock a complete inventory of Douglas Fir and Redwood, uppers and lowers-with the upper grades of Redwood dry. The new telephone numbers for the firm are TOpaz 9-5212 and TOpaz 9-1213.
B. Floyd Scott, president and general manager of Western Custom Mill, Inc., of Los Angeles, California, announced last month that Lloyd Wells, 'ivell-known mill operator had joined the firm as general superintendent in charge of all manufacturing and production.
Mr. Wells joins Western Custom Mill following years of experience at the mill level u'ith such Los Angeles concerns as Hammond Lumber Company, Woodhead Lumber Company and the American Hardwood Lumber Company. He has been identified with lumber milling in the Pacific Northwest and is considered "tops" in producing properlymilled material.
Miss Mamie Sue Peters, for many years u'ith Lerrett Lumber Company in Los Angeles, well known to the retail lumber dealers of Southern California, has been appointed to the general office staff to handle various detail rvork of production and sales.
"We are gradually building a closely-knit organization of experienced lumber people, and we believe we will be able to offer the retailer the kind of service he requires when he is in need of Redwood, uppers and commons, also Douglas Fir and Pine," said Mr. Scott.
Al Nolan, The Pacific Lumber Co., San Francisco, left June 24 on a business trip and will u'ork his way up the West Coast as far as Washington. He will then visit Banff, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. He plans to be back on the job in mid-July.

The fellow who does not possess that thing we call "punch" in his conversation and his actions, may have fine qualities, splendid thoughts, excellent ideas, but stitl fail to put his stuff over on account of that very lack.
Gray's "Elegy in a Country Church Yard," refers so feelingly that all the thinking world has pondered sadly over the thought, to the fact that men of mighty thoughts and power go down beneah the sod without having their worth recognized. Think of his "Mute, inglorious Milton,', and other potential yet undiscovered notables. Every word of that "Elegy" is true. Yet the great poet might have ended his beautiful theme-had he been practically instead

Yet all the trouble with this famous bunch , Was simply this; they lacked the punch.
It is a fact that great truths are often lost entirely to fame because of the spineless character of the presentation, while common things are emblazoned by the forceful, attractive way in which they are "put over." That "Mute, inglorious Milton" might have been the author of a lot of best sellers had he put a lot of punch and kick behind his effort.
Punch simply means to do things, and say things, or write things in so vigorous and effective and virile a fashion that they automatically impress others. Punch means putting tobasco into your effort.

l'ortland, June 30-The follorving report of the secortd quarter, 1953, production ancl shipments of \\''estern Pirre region lumber and lumber products and estintate oi probable third quarter shipments l'ere released today by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-lnanager of the \Vestern l)ine association. The report covered Idaho White Pine, I'onclerr.rsa Pine and Sugar l)ine. The statement in full:
"Again in the second quarter the \\t-estern l'ine ir-rdustrl' produced and shipped more ltturber than during the same 1952 period. llowever, the rate of increase u'as less than in the first quarter ancl the month of June shol-ed er tlecline of rnore than 6 per cent in both production and shipments from a year ago. A prolonged rainy season u'as irr part responsible but market conditicins undoubtedir' \\'ere a factor.
"Preliminary estimates indicate that the second qtl.rrter cut $'as 1,951 million u'hile shipnrents lvere 1,833 million. This means that the first half performance shou's a prodttction of 3,360 million, up 12.8 per cent from 1952, ancl shipments of 3,345 million, an increase of. 6.2 per cent above the previous year. Total regional stocks at the mills oi 1.782 million are therefore at about the same level as on -farrttary 1, 1953 but 135 million above a year ago.
"General business activitl' has continued at high level and total construction volume has exceeded last year. The decline of housing starts in l\{ay as compared to April could be the first indication of a decline in residential constructior,
during the last 6 months of the year as has been forecast by some observers. The federal government in recognition of this situation has apparently sponsored several proposais in Congress to give home building a boost. lteduction in don'n payments in connection u,itl-r FHA loans ancl removal of the Veterans Administration ban against discounting of G I honre loan mortgages are in prospect.
"Based upon such factors and all other available information, it no\\. seenls probable that, during the third quarter of 1953, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region u'il1 approximate 1,900 million feet or about (r per cent under the same 1952 quarter."

Washington, D.C.-Spokesmen for the nation's lumber manufacturers, in meetings 'ivith top Administration officials last month, asked a halt to "land grabbing" activities of the federal government.
The lumber spokesmen called on the Interior Department to compile a "reliable inventory" of federal land holdings, and asked issuance of a White House order requiring that all public lands be registered with Interior.
The lumber representatives also urged that cabinet officials crack down on government employees who campaign for federal regulation of private timber cutting and increased federal ownership of forest lands. In this connection, the group cited figures showing that the federal government has acquired 20 million acres of private forest land in the last 30 years.
Officials 'r,vho conferred in separate meetings r,vith the' lumber representatives included Vice President Nixon, Interior Secretary Douglas McKay, Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks and Assistant Agriculture Secretary J. Earl Coke. Others present were Interior Undersecretary Ralph A .Tudor, Commerce lJndersecretary Robert B. Murray, Jr., and Assistant Commerce Secretaries Samuel W. Anderson and Craig Shaefier. Industry was represented by a l2-rni'an committee whose members were drawn from all sections of the country.
The lumber representatives, most of whom are officers or directors of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, were: Corydon Wagner, vice president and treasurer of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma, Wash.; M. White Smith, president of the M. W. Smith Lumber Co., Inc., Jackson, Ala.; Thomas J. McHugh, president of the Atlantic Lumber Co., Boston, Mass.; N. Floyd McGowin, president of the W. T. Smith Lumber Co., Chapman, Ala.; Ralph R. Macartney, president of NLMA and manager of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., Klamath Falls, Ore.; G. 8,. Karlen, Manager of the Eatonville Lumber Co., Tacoma, Wash., and president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.
Other lumber spokesmen were: A. T. Hildman, manager
of the Michigan-California Lumber Co., Camino, Calif.; Kenneth M. Hancock, president of M. S. Hancock & Co., Casco, Me.; Abbott Fox, president of the Abbott Fox Lumber Co., Iron Mountain, Mich.; J. L- Camp, president oi the Camp Manufacturing Co., Franklin, Va.; J. R. Bemis, president of the Ozan Lumber Co., Prescott, Ark., president of the Southern Pine Association and regional vice president of NLMA; E. R. Aston, logging manager of the Biles-Coleman Lumber Co.. Omak. Wash.
Leo V. Bodine, Executive Vice President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, said the Administration leaders promised "sympathetic consideration" of the industry's problems.
The lumber spokesmen told the Administration officials that for years their industry has been "harrassed and maligned by alarmists who fear a timber famine." Actually, the committee emphasized, industry adoption of sound forest management practices, plus improvements in wood utilization, have assured the nation an adequate supply of timber for its short and long-range needs. Privatelysponsored tree farm programs were credited u'ith making a significant contribution here.
llere are the highlights of other subjects discussed at the industry-government conferences :
1. The committee complained about the manufacture of lumber by the armed services and asked a halt to military sawmill operations which compete with private industry.
2. The lumber representatives recommended that certain lorv-water basin areas in Washington's Olympic National Park be transferred to the Forest Service for sustained-yield timber management. It rvas estimated that this would result in permanent employment for approximately 7,0@ persons.
3. The Interior Department was urged to dispose of small land holdings which are intermingled with private tracts and uneconomical to administer.
4. The industry representatives urged support of a bill by Sen. Cordon (D), Ore., u.hich .ivould enable forest own-

5. The U. S. Forest Service was urged to speed up its forest survey u'ork and to invite industry representatives to help interpret the findings.
6. The industry representatives asked that present timber sales contracts of the U. S. Forest Service be reviewed and that consideration be given to desirable changes.
7. The lumber spokesmen said that, in their opinion, U. S. Forest Service officials have "bottled up many millions of feet of mature national forest timber" by refusing to sell the timber unless the government is given permanent deeds to private roads in the area.
8. To raise the cut in national forest areas, the lumbermen proposed construction of more timber access roads by both government and private operators.
9. It was suggested that lumber inddstry advisory committees be established by the Cornmerce and Agriculture Departments to improve liaison between lumbermen and their government. It lvas further recornmended tl-rat NLMA suggest lumbermen to serve on the committees.
i0. The lumbermen urged that the Forest Products Division of the National Production Authority be relocated in the Commerce Department and that representatives of the lumber, printing and publishing, and pulp and paper industries rotate as directors of the division, without pay.
11. The lumbermen said they were concerned over Japanese proposals to establish forest products manufacturing plants in Alaska.
The Hammond Lumber Company Redwood mill at Samoa, Humboldt County, announces the appointment of Pat McKeehan as their Southern California representative. Pat, who was born in Texarkana, Arkansas, served three years in the Navy during World War II. Since 1947 he has been with l{ammond, Los Angeles, taking care of the office work for the Redwood Division, and working with Lloyd Cole and Dan Strite in the management of branch yards.
Pat has a wife and two children and makes his home in Compton.
The Sudden Lumber Co., 1601 El Camino Real, Redwood City, was recently purchased by Dick Foster and john Barnes and is now doing business as Redwood City Lumber at the same address. Dick is an old lumber hand with experience dating back to sawmill jobs in Washington in 1915. He came to California in 1930 and was employed by Southern Pacific in their yards for 10 years. He then was with Hillsdale Lumber and Supply and latterly with California Lumber Sales of Oakland.
A new plywood plant will be built at Grants Pass, Oregon, by Grants Pass Plywood, fnc., a new concern. F .A Johnson heads the new organization.
"We are not pessimistic. We do not see any picture of doom ahead. But we do see an urgent need for the reduction of costs. Accordingly we warn management and labor and above all Provincial Governments as the owners of timber, that the honeymoon of soaring prices is over."
So says an editorial in The Canadian Lrimbermen's Association official mouthpiece. The statement caught our eye and held our attention,, because we have heard something of the sort from lumbermen on this side of the border many times of late. Yets, that the honeymoon of soaring prices is over, seems to be quite a popular opinion right now.
And the Canadian statement that there is "an urgent need for reduction'of costs," will no doubt be echoed from this side of the border. Lumber costs are enormously high. Timber is high, logs are high, labor is high, equipment is high, selling costs are high, everything that goes to make wooden boards is high-priced.
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Elliott returned to San Francisco redently after a one-week trip to New York where they attended the 40th class reunion of Floyd's old alma mater, the University of Rochester. Floyd has.offices at 1 Drumm Street, San Francisco and represents the Reeves Taylor Lumber Co. of Oregon.
And this in the face of the fact that on every hand we hear and read of demands for higher costs of most things. Hardly a labor-employer contract meeting is held without notice of increased demands from employes. Continually wages go up in most lines of industry. Which means that the cost of whatever that industry produces must also go up, just as was done recently with steel. Which means that all other important commodities, since all are intermingled finally, must go up in price.
For how much longer? Wages form the bulk of all production costs. Doesn't it seem as though there would come a time when contracts would be renewed on existing levels, rather than go eternally upward? How much gas can this business balloon stand? Do we continue to just shut our eyes blindly and keep blowing into the balloon, common sense forgotten and wisdom forsaken? Do we just dare the balloon to burst while doing our best to explode it?
As Mr. Shakespeare said: "We pause for a reply."

Emanuel M. Spiegel, presidert of the National Association of Home Builders, has challenged claims by a savings and loan spokesman that there is plenty of mortgage credit available for GI home buyers.
Spiegel said factual reports from builders and lenders all over the United States refute the "plenty of credit" claim made by Norman Strunk, executive vice president of the U. S. Savings and Loan League.
"A telegraphic survey conducted by NAHB just 10 days ago shows that builders in every section of the country are curtailing operation or u'ill do so in the very near future unless the log-jam of mortgage credit is broken," he said.
"The thousands of building construction craftsmen and rvorkers in allied lines who have lost their jobs or may soon be idle as a result of this crisis might find Mr. Strunk's optimism hard to swallow," he added. "So might all those veterans who have been trying unsucessfully to buy new homes for their families."
He said the findings of the NAHB survey 'w'ere borne out by members of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, ll'ho reported last vveek that they rvere being flooded with complaints from veterans rvho have been unable to get financing for home purchases.
As further evidence of the increasingly tight mortgage situation, he cited figures by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shorving that nerv housing starts in May, normally the peak production month of the year, fell below the April level for the first time since World War II.
The NAHB President pointed out that savings and loan associations finance only about one-fourth of all GI housing and that in most instances their terms are far stiffer than the minimums set by the Veterans' Administration.
For example, he said, these lenders customarily require dorvn payments of 15 to 20 percent and limit their mortgage terms to about 20 years, although the GI program calls for no do'ivn payment and 30 years to pay.
"The hard truth is that savings and loan associations, rvhile thev are doing a good job u'ithin their limitations, just don't have the resources to finance all the GI housing that is needed," Spiegel said. "Three out of four veterans r'vho want homes must go else'n'here for their financing, and in most cases today they find that mortgage credit has dried up completely."
Phil Kelty, experienced lumber salesman of Los Angeles, has joined the sales staff of Western Custom N{ill, Lumber Division, of Los Angeles, according to Floyd Scott, president of the concern. Mr. Kelty has been identified with Redwood sales in Southern California for several years.

Eureka, June 30-The forest industry provides a $500,000.000 annual income for Calif<-rrnia's l8 northern counties, stated Philip T. Farnsrn'ortl-r, San Francisco, California Redn'ood Association general manager, at a Redrvood Region Conservation Council meeting in Eureka June 30. The occasion was a joint meeting of the L,ttreka and Humboldt Bay Redu,ood Circles of the RRCC at Club Humboldt at 7:30 p.m.
Railroad shipments of 'rr'ood products rvithin the state totaled l71,0OO cars last year, he said, more than any other industry. Truck shipments are not included in this figure. he added, and u'ould represent a considerable addition.
Fire is the greatest threat to California's future timber supply, Farnsworth added, and fire preventi<;l.r is the responsibility of everyone in the state. In spite of increasing fire prevention efforts by the Redrvood Region Conservation Council and state and federal agencies, he said, ninety per cent of all region fires are man-caused.

Irvin Cobb had a favorite story he liked to tell, about Dr. Thomas Riley, a whiskey-loving doctor of the old days, who nevertheless throughout his life furnished free the medical help and advice to the poor and needy in his home town. His fortunes drifted ever downward, and finally for want of rent money he had to move his office upstairs over the local livery stable, where they gave him the rent free.
So he put a sign at the bottom of the livery stable stairs that read-"Doctor Thomas Riley; His office is now up-, stairs." He continued to l'end his aid free to the sick and the unfortunate wherever and whenever he could, and finally, when he died, his sorrowing townspeople buried him with honors, and then simply moved his sign from the bottom of the livery stable stairs to the grave where he lay, so that it continued to read:
"Doctor Thomas Riley-His office is now upstairs."
In spring the birds build their nests, or rebuild those of last year. Humans do likewise.
The house, the yard, the garden, the poultry yard, the sheds, the barns, the fences, everything that has to do with man and his possessions, is looked over with a critical eye in the spring.
And almost everything the normal human does as he goes around his home place in the spring can be translated into thoughts of building things.
Every improvement and beautification that comes to his or her mind, calls for boards, and nails, and paint. It's a natural, normal urge that's as old as mankind.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating. And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fiIl the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son! -Rudyard Kipling
Two Marines were sitting in the public library, and one of them was fairly buried in a book he was reading, seeing which the other asked him:
"What book is that you're so interested in?-'
The other said:
"What Millions of Women Want."
The other Marine reached for the book.
"Lemme see," he said, "Have they got my name spelled right?"
ft was in a rural district in Alabama that Mrs. Gibbons heard a fat, colored woman calling loudly from her porch:
"Larseeney-Larseeney-come heah Larseeney ! I wants you right now chil'e."
And when the little colored girl came running to her mother, the white woman, her curiosity aroused, asked what she had called the little girl.
"I done called huh Larseeney," said the other.
"Is that her real name?" Mrs. Gibbons asked.
"Yassum. Sho is. But h'it ain't huh ENTIAH name."
"No? Then what is here entire name?"
Pride lighted up the mother's face, as she answered:
"Huh entiah name is Petty Larseeney."
The automobile salesman had been trying for hours to sell the car to the Scotchman, but the prospective buyer continued to hesitate.
As the salesman drove Sandy around, demonstrating the fine points of the car, he said:
"Watch how she performs when I throw in the clutch."
"f'U take her," said the Scot quickly. "I've just been waiting for you to throw in something."
The drunk staggered into the Automat and put two nickels into a slot. His mouth popped open in astonishment when a piece of apple pie came out. Quickly he got a handful of nickels and began feeding the same slot. When the tenth piece of apple pie came out, the manager, who had been looking on, said to the drunk:
"Don't you think you'd better stop?"
The drunk said: "Don't be silly ! Why should I quit when I'm winning?"

As the July 15 issue of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT goes to press, an unheard-of situation is in effect in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, California. More than 300 big logging trucks all loaded heavily with Redwood logs jarn the highways in.all directions around the state weighing stations. The drivers of the trucks, in protest against nerv rules of the Highway Patrol, got down ofi their trucks on Thursday, July 2, and left them there.
On the date mentioned the State Highway Patrol began a crackdown on logging trucks carrying more than the legal load limit. The trucks were ordered to remove excess logs before proceeding. The drivers claim the rule is too drastic, and they cannot legally loosen the binding chains on a log load while the truck is on the highway.
The trucks have been jamming the highways over the Fourth of July holiday, and are still there as this is written, July 8.
On July 7 Gov. Warren in a public announcement denounced the log truck sit-down strike as "near to sabotage of our highway enforcement program as anything could be."
Humboldt County loggers and truck operators are reported to be raising a fund to fight the new highway rules. A meeting for this purpose held in Eureka r,vas attended by 800 men.
Howard Gunton, MacDonald & Harrington, San Francisco, and family, left for Clear Lake July 4. They expect to return to San Francisco mid-July.

Fork lift trucks are a common sight in the lurnber yards of the West, but the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company, of Tacoma, Washington, is making novel use of these power lifts. The company has a tree farm in Western Washington where scientific forestry started six years ago, and here in their thinning operations they are getting out pulprvood. They use a lift truck for bringing pulpu'ood loads to the main line of haul, and loading them on trucks for outside delivery.

West coast plywood manufacturers have scheduled a $250,000 mid-summer smash advertising campaign in newspapers and magazines over and above the regular plywood promotion in a move to double across-the-counter summer sales of fir plywood by retail lumber'dealers.
The campaign was announced by Douglas Fir Plywood Association which said the new summer program is sched-. uled over a seven-week period in I,626 daily papers-the biggest newspaper advertising program ever run for any building material.
Headlines will read: "Take it from your lumber dealer, the weather's right, the price is right. Now is the time to do-it-yourself with fir plywood." Every ad will feature prominently, "See your lumber dealer today. He has new plans for you."
"The dramatic new fir plywood newspaper campaign provides dealers an unmatched opportunity to double the impact of their own local advertising," W. E. Difford, managing director of the plywood association, announced. "Dealer tie-in ads, run next to each of the six national plywood ads, can tell builders, home owners and home craftsmen where to buy and feature individual dealer prices to cap\talize fully on the big national promotion.'l
Fifteen new tie-in ads have been prepared for dealers. Ad mats are available free to dealers upon request (Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Wash.), and sets of mats already have been sent direct to the 1,6'% daily newspapers. The dealer tie-in ads feature such headlines as: Build It Yourself, Do-It-Yourself Special, Headquarters for Fir Plywood, Today's Best Buy, Good News for Weekend Carpenters and 3-Day Special on Fir Plywood.
Dealers in towns not having daily newspapers can benefit alike from the promotion in the big national magazines that reach cities, towns and farms. These small-town dealers can tie-in by running ads in their weekly papers.
The ads start the middle of July and run through August in every city that has a daily newspaper. Their combined circulation is 35,000,000, and they reach 80 per cent of the nation's homes. Simultaneously, the industry will run full pages in Life and Saturday Evening Post, plus September ads in Pathfinder, Popular Mechanics and Home Mainte-
nance and Improvement, rvhich goes to retail dealer customers.
Timed to ride the crest of the "do-it-yourself" u'ave, every ad is packed with sales-starting ideas for home craftsmen. E,ach one urges home owners and hobbyists to get busy now while the weather's right on summer fix-up jobs, plywood built-ins, outdoor storage units and fences, indoor and garden furniture, boats, remodeling ideas and shop projects.
The campaign will drive thousands of potential plywood buyers into retail lumber yards looking for plans, ply'il'ood and other materials. Dealers are offered a wide variety of plans for both indoor and outdoor plywood projects. They include four bright new designs for outdoor storage units and garden furniture, nine plans for built-ins for the home, six plans for garden fences and wind-screens, 10 plans for modern furniture, six plans for boats. remodeling ideas and a score of plans for farm structures.
Dealers can get supplies of the plans at a fraction of their cost either from Douglas Fir Plywood Association or from their sources of supply for plywood.
Dealers are urged to stock up now on both interior and exterior plywood so they will have the panels on hand with which to turn.inquiries and questions into actual sales.
The association points out that the campaign has been piled atop a continuing program of aggressive plywood sales promotion which represents an annual investment of over $1.5 million. This includes full and half pages in shelter magazines, homecraft magazines, architect-builder publications and the business press.
A new booklet about Sisalation-a vapor barrier, reflective insulation product-is available in quantity to dealers, free of charge. Explains what condensation is and how to avoid it in new home construction; also, how to correctly apply this low-cost, dual-purpose product.

Address delivered ot the B5th Annual Convention o[ the American Institute oI Architects dt Seattle, \7ash.
The timber supply picture in the 12-state Western Pine Region is a bright one, perhaps even brighter tl-ran in other regions !! Striking gains in forestry on both public and private lands have been n.rade.
Forestry progress is not generally unders.tood. The general public reaction torvards forest perpetuation is a mixture of endorsement and concern-endorsement lor the ne\\' tree-grou'ittg programs and concern as to the future. This concern undoubtedly stems from the early crusades to au'aken our nation to the neecl for forest conservation. Forty years ago there was a need for an awakening. Then, there rvas little or no i>r,tection against forest fires, insect epidemics, or tree diseases. Forty years ago there rvas very little forest uranagement, hardly any foresters, and little practical experience on how to handle 'the r,voclds. Colonel Greeley explained in some detail these early circuinstances.
IJut much has happened since those <lays. 'fhere have been some real changes. Todaf in the Western l'ine I{egion, which covers one-third of Continental United States, more than 75 percent of the 80 million acres of commercial forest lands are under long-term forestrv programs. That means that we are GROWING neu, tree crops rvhile harvesting ripe trees for lumber. We are protecting forests better from fire. We are using the harvest better. Through applied research we are creating nerv proclucts of rvood with consequent new opportunities.
In estimating our timber future u'e must never forget the simple, basic fact that TREES GRO\V. \\/hen handled as a crop, timber becomes a resource as lasting as the most dependable agricultural cropland. Forests can go ou and on.
All in all, we have ample tree-grorving lands plus the knou,-horv and equipment to gro'"v the timber n'e need. 1\{ost important of all, private and public owners have the u'ill and .desire to grow crops of trees.
Of cclurse, we have our {orest problen.rs
Our number one problem in tl-re Western Pine Region is the staggering loss rve suffer due to the non-harvesting of high-quality over-ripe trees. When we fail to cut these old trees, they fall prey to insect attacks and tree diseases.
They die and rot in the u,'oods. At the present time u'e are losing several billion feet of fine timber annually. The solution to this proltlem is not easy as the old-grtlrvth forests still cover tremendous areas, many of u'hich ate inaccessible. Hou'ever, real progress is lleing made in nelv systems of cutting, more flexible logging equiprnent, and road building. Also, research in insect control is giving us additional time to organize harvesting prograllrs ahead of the tree killing insects.
In solving this, our biggest forest problem, we will be making available the highest quality logs for lumbel. Taking out the doomed trees rvill also give more grorving space and sunlight to the thrifty younger trees remaining and so produce more quickly the next crop.
There is an ever-changing picture in forest productivity. Virgin forests are more or less in balance over pe.riods oi time. As our forest picture changes from one of primeval forest to orderly managed forest, net gron,th on the nerv crop increases. The time for grorving the next crop varies r'vith the forestry plan and the original tin.rber stand. On some forests repeat cuttings are at freqrrent intervals. On some, cutting cycles come every n, 30, or '10 years. Normally, in the harvesting of the Western I'ine forests a good nucleus'of trees is left for the next crop. In manv operations only the very largest and oldest trees are cut. Nfost trees under 20 inches in diameter and all young trees are left for fnture crops.
Anrple timber supplies already g'ro\\'11 give us time to have neu' crops of trees ready n'hen they are needed in the future. It takes long-time planning, horvever, to take care of such crops as trees. Case histories rvill serve to illlustrate u'hat is being done in this clirection in our region.
in 1913 the million-acre Klamath Indian Reservatiotr forest u.ith 8 billion board feet of timber, rnostly Ponderosa Pine, u'as put under manafaenlent. About tu'c-r percent of this forest has been cut over annually. For ripe trees soid to the highest bidder the Indians received nearly $30 million during the 40 year period. Present earnings are ar<iund $2 million a year. The Klarnath Indians have sold 41 l>lllion feet of timber since 1913, and still have 5-l/3 billion feet of sarvlog timber left. It n,ill take another ter.t years to cut over the virgin area remaining and then the full procluctive capacity of the forest l'ill be unleashed. At that time average grorvth per acre n ill be in excess of 100 board feet and an annual harvest of somervhere betn'een 70 and 100 million board feet should be possible indefinitely.
From a study of the virgin forests \\'e can estimate what rvould l.rave been the picture o1r the Klamath Reservation if no cutting had taken place. Surprisingly enough, with no cutting the Indians rvould have little more timber than

they actually have today. How could this be after a $30million harvest? Because they would have lost to insects over 3f billion of the cut 4l billion board feet of oldgrowth timber. But even more important the forest today would be unmanaged and far less productive for the future than the lands harvested under careful plan by foresters.
About 60 percent of the commercial forest lands in the Western Pine Region are in national forests. There are 97 national forests in this Region growing crops of trees. The earliest of these national forests had their forest management beginnings at the turn of the century. None of them has at this date been fully opened up and gotten in full production. All have annual harvesting programs as on the Indian Reservation. Let's look at a sample national forest-the Malheur in Eastern Oregon. That tract is about the same size as the Klamath Reservation-a commercial area of over 8O0,000 acres.
One Western Pine Tree Farm in Washington, of about 100,000 acres, came under management in the late 1930's. A recent check shows the lands first harvested are now producing 140 board feet per acre per year. Contrast this to the condition of adjacent virgin forest, which was found to 'be showing a net loss of 90 board feet per acre per year ! That is proof enough to private timberland owners that it pays to protect and manage their forest lands. Everywhere lin the Pine Region Tree Farming is growing more crops of trees-
Ot. of my architect friends asked me how much longer he could count on lumber from the west. He had heard that the timber was just about all gone. My answer was that if his grandson became a new Methuselah, even he couldn't hope to live long enough to see the supply diminish. For we are optimists here in the Western Pine Region, and we base our faith and confidence on facts. In the region as a whole there stands today over 550 billion board feet of sawtimber, enough to rebuild e'tery' dwelling in the United States. Back of that great woodpile stands a mighty array of young trees of various ages, growing for tomotrow. And even back of that, stands the great invisible resource, the endless productive power of the fores,t which will still be growing new timber crops when today's tiniest seedlings have grown into mature giants and have been harvested to serve home-builders in their many friendly w-ays-
Operations in the Malheur National Forest began in 1929 with a virgin stand of 7l billion feet. Tl.re sustaincd
annual cut is from 90 to 100 million board feet. Income from this forest in the 23 years lrom 1929 amounts to nearly $7 million. Present sales amount to $tfu million annually. Here, too, much good timber has been lost over the years but light cuttings now being made remove insectsusceptible trees. As forests are opened up by harvest cutting such losses will be reduced. Still, it will be many years before this forest gets into full production as much oldgrowth timber remains to be harvested. But, already the treated lands show good evidence that forestry pays.
Western states also have state forests that are being harvested under scientific forestry programs and are giving a good account of themselves.
The same experience-that forests respond to cutting treatment-is evident also on Tree Farms, lands on which private owners are growing successive crops of trees as a business. The Tree Farm program started in the Pine Region only eleven years ago, but already nearly one-third of the private forests industrially owned are enrolled. In addition, hundreds of farmers and ranchers have joined the program and are handling their property under Tree Farm standards.
Tree Farming is a program that tackles tree grou'ing as a business venture. It follows the old business system of getting the facts and planning a program fitted to such facts. It is concerned with results-results that mean more wood growth. It rates forest practices on the basis of their return for the time and money expended over the period.
On July trl a huge new unit in the Los Angeles harbor was formally opened. It is the Matson Navigation Company's new $8,250,000 terminal, which will service that company's l5 fast cargo vessels, 3 I,iberty ships, and the luxury passenger ship Lurline.
Since World War Two more than $20,000,000 has been invested in the harbor, making the total money invested since its founding about $150,000,000.
Today the harbor represents a 7,W acre facility with 24 terminals or transit sheds including the new Matson installation. Wharfage space at the sheds will accommodate 38 ocean liners, 14 oil tankers, and 15 lumber carriers at the sdme time.
Four railroads, 200 motor truck lines, and six main highways provide ample land transportation to and from the harbor's 28 miles of water frontage.

Washington, D.C.-The administration sent to Capitol Hill a housing bill, the major features of which were largely non-controversial because they increased FHA mortgage insuring authority, tried to make "Fanny May" more liquid, tightened up public housing construction, continued military housin g authorizations for another year, terminated the Home Orvners Loan Corporation, and provided for increased interest rates on insured loan programs which had not been taken care of in the recently announced interest rate increase.
When this administration first circulated this legislation it contained provisions providing for a schedule of lower down payments .and higher mortgage ceilings on FHA loans. On advice of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, these recommendations were not made part of the legislation that went to the Hill- The Senate yesterday added some new thoughts to the legislation. The Senate Banking and Currency Committee reported out a bill giving the administration what it wanted, but also provided {or Presidential authority to, at its discretion, provide for down payments as low as 5/o and maturity periods up to thirty years on individual house mortgages up to the amount of $12,000. The Senate also provided certain help for New York State Cooperative housing projects. (It pays to have tu'o Senators on the Banking and Currency Com mittee-Ives and Lehman), and provided for additional Iunds for direct veterans loans.
What the house will do about these two proposals is as yet unknown. The building industry generally has been advocating a program of lower down payments and greater mortgage amounts, but has frankly said-"While we don't have to have it now, eventually we will have to have it," and perhaps this is what the Senate was endeavoring to anticipate. Our present guess is that the Administration will resist any easier mortgage terms at this particular time, with housing volume holding up at least on a National scale.
Administrator Cole of H & HFA is ready to begin his studies of the role of the Federal Government in the field of housing and construction, and is planning a series of conferences through July and August with representatives of the construction industry and the public interest groups, in the course of which there will be a complete review. Mr. Cole will probably appoint advisory committees on which there will be public and industry members, and it is hoped that by reason of these conferences Administrator Cole will be prepared at the next session of Congress to make specific and definite recommendations as to the reorganization on a business-like basis of all of the Government Agencies presently {urnishing one type of housing aid or another.
The Congress apparently is going to do nothing about the Basing Point legislation at this session. However, it is encouraging here to note the statements coming from
the new Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, E' F' Howrey. Federal Trade has informed Congress that it will no longer oppose legislation to write into larv the Supreme Court verdit that "good faith" is a defense against price discrimination charges, and that it norv considers freight absorption necessary to maintain adequate competition' This is a complete reversal of policy by the Federal Trade Commission, brought about largely by change of personnel at the top level, and this probably means that Congress in the next session r'vill pass the freight absorption legislation.
The Federal Trade Commission also has issued some encouraging statements in respect to its desire to set up a Conference Division u'hich u'ould endeavor to obtain voluntary compliance by industry before any formal complaints in respect to industry members are recommended to the Commission. In other n'ords, the Federal Trade Commission is r,villing to consult and advise, and this policy, we feel rvill have great merit and be greeted with enthusiasm by many industries that. have problems r'vhich would be brought into the open u'ithout the necessity of formal complaints and larv suits.
The Department of Commerce is moving more expeditiously u'ith the setting up of industry divisions and it seems likelv at this moment that in its division dealing with the problen.rs of lumber and building materials there will be staff members appointed rvho represent the viewpoint of the distributors. This, when it comes about, will tre in contrast to previous experiences with the Department.
What is retail trade ? The various agencies of government attempt from time to time to define retail trade, and the definitions in existence today are all based on an archaic concept of retailing. These archaic definitions have come to plague industry in its negotiations with Labor, the Federal Trade Commission ,the Office of Price Stabilization, and other agencies of the Government. Most of these definitions define the trade as "one selling merchandise for personal or farm consumption,"-" completely limited and outmoded concept of retailing. The National Association has initiated conferences with retail groups, seeking a retailing agreement as to a definition of the trade which would be accepted by all agencies of government as accurately descriptive of present day retailing' This is a matter of long-range importance to the industry.
The nerv la'rvs covering vehicle fees and drivers licenses passed by the Texas legislature, increase the cost of the lumber business. The registration fee applicable to all vehicles subject to registration rvill be $8.00. The application fee for original or renewed driver's licenses, valid for four years, will be $3.00. On commercial vehicles the fees, based on weights, will be increased about one-third.
Portland-"Shorty," a piece of moulding just three {eet, six inches long who thought he hadn't a future to speak of-or a past either-is the hero of a l0-page Western Pine association booklet just published.
The publication describes the extensive uses "Shorty" can be put to in the building and "do-it-yourself" trade. It was put out for distribution to retailers, builders and contractors in an effort to obtain a fuller use of "Shorty," and other short mouldings like him, in the industry.
It is entitled "Shorty Finds a Home."
Another leaflet, "What is Brown Stain in Sugar Pine," has also been released by the association. It quotes Western Pine association laboratory reports showing brown stain is not a mold, rot or decay and does not affect the strength of the wood in any way.
A third folder, a revision of an earlier publication, has been released which outlines the use of Western Pine movie playlets by retailers for advertising the Western Pine woods.

To Cost Over Million
Mention rvas made in these columns July first of the improvement and modernization program under way at Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., at NIcNary, La.
Further information states that the prog'ram now under way u'ill cost more than one million dollars, and will include : a huge steel shed for the storage of rough lumber; an automatic stacker and unstacker; a dry sorter; modernization of the dry kilns so that the entire output of the big mill will be kiln dried. The result, according to Jim Ben Edens, chairman of the board, rvill be to enable the mill to operate all the year around instead of only seasonally, with no shutdowns forrvinterrveather. This u'ill mean stable employment and continuous all-year around payrolls.
Besides the great improvements at N{cNary, tl.re firm is also installing new machinery at their mills at Snowflake and Overaard, Arizona. All irnprovements rvill be complete by next winter, from rvhich time the mills rvill be able to make better lumber than ever before, and process their logs more economicallv than ever.

Ward, a 1953 graduate from Oregon State college in civil engineering, has to his experience credit, former employment with the traffic engineer of Portland, a surveying and drafting job with the Washington State Highway Commission, work with a civil engineer in Oakland, California, land subdividing, and a short hitch surveying for the California state forest department.
Ward spent three years as gunner's mate during World War II in the South Pacific. While still on his last leave before discharge from the Navy in October, 1946, Ward went to u'ork to supplement his G.I. benefits for college.
After a short period surveying for the California state forest department, Ward went to Oakland, California where he rvorked for a civil engineer in land subdividing, until fall of 1947 when he enrolled in civil engineering at Vanport college, now Portland State. Ward continued spending his summers and vacation periods working in Oakland. After three years in school, the young engineer took leave for a year and was employed with the traffic engineer of the city of Portland. He transferred from Vanport to Oregon State to complete his education.
'A native of Denver, Colorado, Ward moved to Portland in 1939 where he attended Franklin high school. He is married and has two sons.
Ward succeeds Robert E. Eby, who accepted a position on May 15 with the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company in Tacoma in their engineering sales department. Eby is also an Oregon State College engineering graduate.
