To-day SUPER-HARBORD is restricted for military purposes. Our engineers have collaborated with the war department in developing not only assault boats and pontoo bridges but innumerable other necessary war materials that have facilitated the success of our armed forces. SUPER-HARBORD has lived up to and surpassed all the requirements asked of it.

Competent sales engineers are available for special industrial problems involving the use of our plywoods and plastics.

Vagabond Editorials

(Continued from Page 10) the Conference to start, and stood them up for a day. Did Truman, filled with righteous indignation, blurt out: "Look here Josif Vissarionovitch Dzugashvili, you can't do this to me?" Did he? He did NOT. He could have, because that's Stalin's full name back in Georgia (no, not Gawgia) where he came from. In fact, Truman never mentioned Josif Vissarionovitch Dzugashvili a single time. He just said: "Have a drink?" And Stalin replied: "What do you mean 'A' drink?" And they both smiled. And thus was a great diplomatic chasm bridged over.

When the postwar building days come round (thank God they get one day closer with every 24 hours that pass) there will be need for some straight and fair thinking among our lumber and building folks. Here's one thing I mean: every now and then you hear some lumber or building material buyer make the growling remark that when the postwar days come he is going to give his business preference to those concerns which "have not let me do\ rn" while war restrictions were in vogue. That's a thing that could be badly overdone. Don't you see that the more completely a manufacturer or distributor gives his products to the war effort, the less he has for his regular civilian trade, and therefore the more he might be exposed to the charge of "letting his customers down"? Tq feel antagonistic to a firm because that firm has entered more wholeheartedly into the job of winning the war than some of its competitors have done, seems to put an unfair burden on patriotism, doesn't it? It would be short-sighted policy to allow the irritations of the war period to cloud the postwar horizon; and it would hardly be. fair to penalize those who have done an all out job to help win the war, because in so doing they have been obliged to stint their regular trade. The thought is worth some quiet mulling over in many minds.

200-Foot Span Timber Arch Bridse

By C.J. Hogue, Chief Engineer West Coast Lumbermen's Association

A booklet illustrating a 2OGfoot span timber arch bridge has been published by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Among the distinctive features of the bridge design are: Arch chord with metal splices for the weight of the arch only, with spaces between members filled with concrete after erection to make a continuous compression member for the superimposed load;

Mesnager concrete hinges applied to a timber arch; A simple crown hinge;

Glued laminated floor beams to eliminate shrinkageglues for exterior use have recently been accredited; Composite wood-concrete deck serving also as a horizontal beam transmitting lateral loads to end pylons; Reinforced concrete side walk cantilevered from the composite wood-concrete deck;

Dog-leg cantilevered reinforced concrete post to take lateral thrust from rvood rail transmitting thrust to post; Lighting placed below rail to light'sidewalk and deck.
