THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT

THE LUMBER STRIKE, No Settlement in Sight I

It wo-uld apteg, as we go to press, that the gravity of the lumber strike in the Pacific Northwest is growing diy by day. To date, an estimated l\/p of. the Country's lumber production is idle, arrj 1s m_uch as 30/o of its plywood output has dried up. Besides the PiS Si*a Georgia-Pacific, Edward Hines, Pope & Tahot and Clear Fir at Springfield have joined the rolls of itruck plants. An estimated 28,000 plywood and sawmill workers are jobless in an already depressed area. And it appears there is yet more to come.

Although one major producJlas apparently been successful in reaching a compromise agreement with the International Woodworkers (IWA) and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers (LSW), the. settlement w^as greeted with mixed emotions by the Big Six and the Timber Operators Council, Inc. of portland. z,Economfcaily unsound to the industry," chanted both. Rather than weakenine the position of other strikebound mills, the Simpson Settlemeni seems to have reaffirmed a "hang tough" position.

On the other side of the ledger, thJ unions feel they have their backs to the wall because they more or less knuckled under two years ago when they settled for a token wage increase in view of dismal market conditions at that time. They-warned the employers that it would be different the next time around. They went or, .""ord with their memberships, so it's "fish or cut baii,, with them, too.

To further strengthen their bargaining position, the two unions are going for the same package, rather than bargaining separately a1th9f did when the strike first srarted. According tt T.O.C. officials this package means a minimum oI B\lzi "n f,our, and as much as AOq an hour where logging is more remote, in increased wages over the next three years.

The business of living is the business of thinking. Our lives are no bigger, better, broader or more useful than our thoughts. We live exactly to the extent that we THINK.

That is, if you really advertise something new and interesting about YOUR business that means somethine to the other fellow.

BY JACK DIONNE

The first skilled worker in wood that we have any record of was a guy by the name of Bezaleel. Moses got him to build the Tabernacle of the Hebrews, which was built of gold, and silver and wood. Exodus says that the Lord filled Bezaleel "with wis' dom and skill in timber carving." How about making him the patron saint of the mill work industry?

THEY say that "n"**". ,. nln", ,* OOr, and reputation is what people think about you. And that's true about your business as well as yourself. A business must not only have a good character-it must have good repute. Its name must carry a favorable impression when heard or read' Given a good character, the good reputation of a business can be built upon good service and good publicity. But it sometimes happens that the business possessing good character fails of its utmost possibilities because its good characteristics-goods, service, integrity, etc., are not sufrciently well known- There are cobwebs acrose rnany business doors where the character is the very best. It requires service and publicity to make your character known to the world'

The differen"" tr"t',"J"n .* tu ""J,n" i'"* is always cropping up, and generally in favor of the new. For instance, one of the famous philosophical remarks of the wise Seneca was: "How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness?" Today we have a street phrase on exactly the same subject that uses six words less, and shorter and easier words, and covers the thought infinitely better than the splendid phrase of Se,neca' We simply say: "He can't stand prosperity.o' Better, isn't it?

-RUSSIAI A New Threat in

the

World Lumber Market

Russia now pos€s a major competitive challenge to America in the world lumber market, a Portland, Oregon, executive reoently returned from the Soviet Union warned in a speech to the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Robert F.- Dwyer, executive vice-presi' ' dent of the Dwyer Lumber and Plywood Co., said Russia now matches the U.S. in total lumber production-and plans a 20 percent annual increase in the years ahead.

A member of the President's National Export Expansion Council, Dwyer returned this summer from an unofficial tour of the Soviet lumber industry.

Interviewed following an address at the Transportation Management Program of the Stan{ord Graduate School of Business, he said Russia plans to expand its present lumber production of 35 billion board-feet by six or seven billion annually.

Practically all Russian timber is harvested by tractor from comparatively small trees, he reported. Most stumps are 16 to l7 inches in diameter, being cut into one and two-inch boards.

Since Russia entered the world lumber market in 1958, the competitive efiects on this country have been substantial-mainly because of our obsolete transportation methods and policies, Dwyer told TMP executives.

American lumber producers have lost more than $300 million of their annual domestic market to foreign competition, primarily Canadian, he said. This developed after Russian exports forced Canada to withdraw from the British market.

Western Canadian producers now can ship lumber to the East Coast for $12 to $I4 a thousand board feet less than Amer' ican firms, which are prohibited from using lower-cost foreign vessels. As a re' sult, 200 sawmills and nearly 14,000 jobs have been lost in the Pacific Northwest in the past two years alone, Dwyer said.

The extra shipping cost imposed on U.S. producers by the Jones Act are so great that Canadians now are buying U.S. logs, taking them to Vancouver for milling, and re-shipping them to the East Coast at a Iower price than Arnerican firms.

o'Despite our higher labor costs, our taxeso our investment costs, and our highpriced timber, American lumber is produced from the mills as cheaply-or very nearly so-as anything the Canadians or anyone else can produce," he emphasized,

"We can serve up better quality than the Russians, and our production costs are as low or lower.

"We are beaten in transportation. We cannot win this foot race with foreign competition in lumber or anything else if we must run it wearing the crutch of decrepit transportation," Dwyer said.

Russia now has 400 million feet of rough-cut lumber ready for export from Leningrad, he reported. The Soviets have frnished a new lumber fleet of vessels, with 40 more under construction.

The Russians claim these ships can load I.000 board feet of lumber for less than $2 or o'less than half the very best we have ever been able to manage in our ports," Dwyer noted.

ooThe Russians are shipping lumber to Britain, to France, to Western Europe, to Japan-to all of the foreign markets. where our country has sold lumber."

Lumber is not alone in its shipping predicament, Dwyer added:

(I) The Northwestern fishing fleet has declined seriously because of Japanese and Russian fishing-factory vessels' ooWe have no comparable ships and the cost of building them in American yards puts them out of the competitive picture before we begin," he commented.

(2) America's Great Lakes barge fleet now is threatened with specially subsidized Canadian barge construction.

(3) Hawaiian sugar and pineapple pro' ducerso forced to ship only in American bottoms, find it increasingly difficult to meet lower-cost shipments from the Philip pines to the U.S.

Dwyer praised government efiorts to build a $30 billion national highway net, a 2,000 mph supersonic aircraft, and nuclear-powered merchant ships. But he sharply criticized "the crippling, decadent sickness of prolonged operating subsidies" for the shipping industry.

ooThese are false remedies, the opium that kills the pain, but never cures."

"If we are going to export the ideas of democracy to the world, we must do it on our own wagons, by our own transPorta' tion. If we are going to import the riches of the world that we have become accustomed to, we must do it with a competitive transportation system that is the strength of our economy."

Electro-Mechanical

Stress-Rated Lumber

"Engineered lumber" that will influence wood building design, change construction economics, and simplify retail lumber yard ordering and inventorying problems is cominglff the production line of Potlatch Forests, Inc., in Lewiston, Idaho.

It is EMSR lumber, electro'mechanically stress-rated structural lumber with its stifiness and strength so precisely measured that an entire electronic computor system must be used. This allows the accurate strength rating to be marked on each piece as it is tested.

The Continuous Lumber Tester (CLT'I), developed by Industrial Sciences, Portlando Oregon, in cooperation with Potlatch, ac' curately identifies lumber grades by strength rather than by appearance or species.

Here is the step-by-step story, When the first electric eye (1) sees the lumber, the first test section is alerted. Then the lumber is gripped by the powered clamp-roll units (2 and 5) which do two thingsfeed the lumber into the machine and prevent end.whip and vibration from affecting the measurements. The next sensor (4) alerts the second test section. When the wood passes the next sensor (6), it activates the first transducer (3) which deflects the wood 5/l6th of ai inch and transmits the measurements of the foroe necessary to maintain this deflection to the computor (10), This measurement is made every six inches along each piece of lumber. The lumber is advanced to the final powered roll section (8) which grips the wood. The fourth sensor (9) activates the the second transducer 0) which takes readings of the force needed to maintain the 5/16th of an inch deflection in the opposite direction. Finally, when the end of the wood passes the last sensor (9), all the data from the storage section of the computor is transmitted to the brain section which instructs the stamping mechanism to mark the proper E-rating'

In this new system, termed E-rating, each piece of lumber is accurately per' tested to determine its individual struc' tural capabilities. The results are far more precise than can be ascertained through visual stress grading. Under Western Pine Association grading rules, Potlatch's elec' tro-mechanical stress-rated (EMSR) lumber may be sorted into five grades based entirely on strength. Therefore, there are considerably fewer grades for lumber deal' ers to specify and stock than lumber graded by systems using complete sets of spans for various dimension grades for each species.

Visual stress grading, standard through' out the nation's structural lumber industry today, is based upon appearance of each piece of lumber graded. Knots, their sizes and relationship with each other, slope-of' grain, and numerous other visual char" acteristics are considered.

But heavy safety factors are assigned visual stress grades which penalize between 50 and 98% oI all structural lumber. Some pieces tested showed they could do as much as 10 times the work which they are allowed under current grades.

"Well over half o{ all structural lumber produced today is under-rated by the common grading system, and consequently is undersold, and is inefficiently used," reports Dr. H. B. McKean, director of research for Potlatch.

Electro-mechanical stress-rating is a completely automatic process. The testing, (Contirucd on Page 60)

Potlatch EMSR lumber is being produced in 4, 6, 8, 10 and l2-inch widths of 2-inch dimension. Each piece of lumber is automatically stamped with its individual measurement based on its E-rating, or modulus of elasticity. lt is sorted in five E-ratings1.0, 1.4, 1.8, 2.2, and 2.6. Every piece fo EMSR lumber is tested and rated according to its strength rather than its appearance and species.

Two Year Study of Dealer Displays Results in this Book-type Design

When it comes to displays, few possibilities have been overlooked and most dealers at one time or another wish the confounded things had never been invented. Yet it is necessary to give the customers some idea of how t]-re product will look when it is used and to take advantage of the manufacturer's tie-in advertising. So, even though the science oI point-of-purchnse needs perfecting, few will dispute the need for displays and their value where there is a high volume of consumer traffic.

Many manufactur.els put much thought

direct for information since they did not see Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar in their dealer's showroom. It was also found that dealers who did have a good display were much more successful in moving a large

and considerable amount of money into their displays to make them efiective. On the other hand, some of the material must be developed without the designer ever having seen the inside of a lumber yard.

After many years of listening to dealer gripes and then making a concerted two year efiort, one manufacturer, Ed Fountain Lumber Company, has developed a display which should overcome at least ninety per cent of the objections. The two year study to develop the new Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar display was initiated when Fountain found that dealers were not using their display material to best advantagel Consumers o{ten contacted the company

volume of the product. Since Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar is quite unique, it almost always requires that the custom€r see enough to make the decision to buy. The only recourse for Fountain was to develop a design which would make an effective presentation of the product and at the same time meet the fundamental requirements of the dealer for utilizine the display.

These were some of the considerations

in arriving at the design: Attract interest. Quickly identify the pr6duct. Answer most of the customers' questions before requiring a sales person. Suggest uses. Provide a good ratio of profit for area consumed. Easily moved and maintained. Adaptable to interior or exterior display areas. Fit a variety of situations. Simple to set up. Tie-in with consumer advertising. And, of course, there were considerations from a manufacturing standpoint such as cost and an economical shipping configuration. The new display is a book type unit with two 2'x6' sections. A black frame surrounds the natural finished Peckv Cedar (Continued, on Page 6l)

Lam-Loc. Pecky Cedar Display .in shipping position. lie perimeter frame forms the packing case, so there is no time spent uncrating or disposing of protective material. The convenient size allows- the display to be handled and set up by one man in less than five minutes.

The sign is the only unit which must be removed for, placement on top of the display. One nut holds it in position during shipping. The colored samples and. literalure box are pre-assembled during fabricatl0n.

This highly stable triangular design will take hard bumps and withstand environmental conditions which may be encountered in outside display areas. The sign can also be placed in a different hole to form a flat surface when it is desirable to hang the display on a wall.

F. \l\/. Dodge Recdiusts lts Construclion Forecost

After a careful study of the trend of construction contracts and of the economy at midyear, F.I(r. Dodge corporation has reas. serted its optimistic forecast for 1963 while readjusting the construction mix to show gains in residential and nonresidential building.

In the new forecast to be published in the August issue of ARCHITECTURAL RECORD, George A. Christie, senior economist for the company referring to forecasts made last Fall, states, o'So far this year, both Gross National Product and construction are running well ahead ol the auerage predictions, and slightly ahead of Ihe optimistic ones.

"This should put the year's total at $582 billion for GNP, and about $43.5 billion for construction contracts."

Last October F. W. Dodge had predicted GNP to increase from $554 in 1962 to $580 billion in 1963, a 4.5 per cent increase. It had also forecast that construction contracts in 1963 would reach a record $43.4 billion topping 1962 by 5 per cent.

, "Although the forecast of total construction is standing up well, there have been a lew surprises within the individual categories, and it's necessary to adjust the pieces to fit the whole," added the senior economist.

In the readjusted forecast, total construction contracts are predicted to amount to $43.5 billion, an increase of 5.3 per cent above the record 1962 volume and a very slight gain over the October forecast. Contracts for residential and nonresidential buildings have been revised upward, while contracts for nonbuilding construction (public works and utilities), although remaining on the plus side, have been revised downward.

The highlights of the tr'. W. Dodge readjusted forecast are:

(I) Residential contracts to reach a record $19 billion, a gain of 5.5 per cent over last year. (2) Nonresidential contracts to total almost $14 billion, a 7 per cent increase above 1962. (3) Nonbuilding construction (public works and utilities) to total $10.6 billion and register a 3 per cent gain. (4) Hospital building contracts to show a 25 per cent increase over 1962. (5) Educational contracts to top 1962 by 3 per cent. (6) Commercial building contracts to surpass 1962 by one per cent.

"All of Us Need a Refresher Course Occasionally"

James Oakley, General Manager of Doors, Inc., wholesale plywood and doors outlet in Mt. View, Calif., was host to a group of some 40 northern California cabinet manufacturers and retail lumber yard

Travelers in "Oakley's Aircade" took ofi from the San Francisco Intl. Airport at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday and were home again at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22.

Following the afternoon-long tour where they saw the production lines in operation at both Sierra and So-Ply, the group re-

operators for a tour of Southern Oregon Plywood's mill and the new Sierra Wood Products pre-finishing plant at Grants Pass, Oregon.

Co-hosts were Ted Young and Jim Di Matteo oI the Doors, Inc. sales staff and Wally Hunter, promotion manager. Oakley said Doors, Inc. sponsored the tour because "all of us need a refresher course occasionally."

o'It's easy to become involved in sellilg and forget that production capabilities and problems vitally affect us all. The mills we toured are so diversified our customers got a full run-down and I'm sure they'll be able to do a better job for their CUStomerg 1g1r.tt

After arriving at Medford, Ore. on their chartered DC-6, the group was taken immediately to Grants Pass by a chartered Greyhound bus.

Following a luncheon and briefing on their schedule, the party went to the SoPly mill and the Sierra pre-finishing plant.

There they broke into groups of 10 and werie taken on guided tours through the facilities. Group leaders on the plant tours were: Robert Kellso, So-Ply plant superintendent; Jack Seymour, Sierra production superintendent; Robert Doran, So-Ply d"y foreman I Jackson Beaman,

Wednesday morning many of the visitors made a return trip through the two mills prior to their ll:30 a.m. departure from Medford.

The excursion through the plywood mill started at the log pond and followed the manufacturing process through to the loading of cars on the siding.

At Sierra the same procedure was fol. lowed. Throughout these sessions they had the opportunity to ask questrons about methods and procedures in production of all standard items as well as the priming and grooving of exterior siding.

A highlight of the Wednesday banquet was the surprise initiation of both Oakley and Vic Calvo, Mayor of Mt. View, Calif. (Continued, on Page 83)

Todayns home builder is lucky in that he can successfully take advantage of all the new modern mechanical blessings which seience has invented to decrease the amount of household labor and therefore ereate a more leisurely type of living. He can also build an ingenious floor plan which has been designed for privacy and convenience and for the comfort of the family. But, to be truly satisfying, a house must be beautiful in itself, in relation to its environment and to those who will make it their home. We believe this design has all of these qualities and many more.

(hAN No. 3833, 1863 squrnn rnrr)

From the roofed porch, double doors open to a wide entry. To provide better furniture arrangement, a partial wall, with turned posts above, separates the entry room from the living room.

The use of glass sliding doors in both the living and family rooms has brought the outdoors in closer relationship and made it a visual part of both rooms.

The extra large kitchen hes an abundance of storage space, the m'ost modern built-in appliances and a o'king size" eating are&: There is just enough of an opening between the kitchen and family room so that mother can keep an eye on the children or so a conversation can be carried on between the two rooms but not enough so that guests in the family room will have a wide view of a disorderly kitchen.

The service area is extra large and even has room for a table or desk plus a freezer.

The three-quarter bath is accessible from both the family room, kitchen and outside of the house.

All rooms are exceptionally large. Twin beds could be used in all three bedrooms. There is an unusual amount of storage space which includes 12 closets.

Note the arrangement of the luxurious dressing room and bath off the master bedroom. Also, the door leading from this room to the partially roofed patio.

The rustic ranch exterior with its handsome roof lines and bay windows will easily be the most striking home in the neighborhood.

More and. more individualsnot businessesare going through bankruptcy every year. The majority o{ them are employees who, for one of many reasons, seek

relief through this federal law seemingly designed for those without sense enough to manage their finances.

Often it is with the help of creditors

without sense enough to discriminate between those individuals with ability to manage finances and those with no sense of responsibility.

Easy credit is the bane of those bankruptcy referees who surely know that bankruptcy is not the final answer for those individuals and businessmen "taking the cure" when they think all else has failed. In my opinion, if all credit salesmen and credit granters, retail and wholesale, were trained in credit selling with its many ramifications, bankruptcys would decline. Far too many business men will not accept management as a profession and delegate the responsibility of "guardian of receivables" to stafi members who are as irresponsible as many they grant credit to. This is no figment of my imagination. I have seen it all too often.

-TREATED with BOLI DEN SALTbv

McGORMIGK & BAXTER

Lumber pressure-treated with Boliden Salt costs only a little more than untreated lumber, yet will last many times longer, even under the severest conditions. lmpervious to wood borers, rot damage and fungus attack, Boliden Salt Treated lumber by'McCormick & Baxter is perrfect for mudsills, posts, joists, framing members, patios, porches and fences.

, C omplet e T imb er P r e -F abr ic at in g F acilit ie s

Simply stated, not every business man, credit salesman or credit granter is mature enough to choose right from wrong on the basis of good management practices and business ethics. Some lack sufficient knowledge, others fail to employ their thinking ability or assume the responsibility they have been chosen to accept, or have willingly assumed. Some wiH ask others to make important decisions for them because of laziness, lack of loyaltytotheiremployer, or the desire to have some one else share the responsibility. Whatever the reason, failure to carry the load of responsibility assigned to the job is to the disadvantage of the person himself and the employer. At this point it is well to distinguish between good business and credit granting principles and a law. A law asks simply that you obey. The first and most important business principle asks that you do your own thinking.

The case of a combination credit manager and office manager I was recently asked to help comes to mind. He was asked if he would assume the responsibility of control of his important office. He willingly agreed. He immediately opposed all effort to teach him a better way to do his job. Why? Because of fear. Fear for himself. His immaturity caused this fear and he avoided anything pertaining to control of the accounts receivable. He was on the verge of leaving his job and seeking employment of another kind, even though it might not have been as rewarding from a financial standpoint.

Yet our credit manager friend is still on the job and doing nicely. He has accepted a better way to do his job through education. He has learned that o'hard core" credit management is not the answer, and that better credit department administration is the answer. He is now in a better position to carry his own load of responsibility and it is a good bet that his employer will suffer fewer losses from bad debts and bankruptcys.

President James W. Sullivan convened the first meeting of the convention on June 27 in Coronado. Calif. and welcomed the delegates present.

Committees named were as follows: Nominating: Bob Kahn, Bruce Mclean, Robert Sullivan and Donald White. Resolutions: Kenneth MacBeath and Donald Braley; Golf : Ed Bauerl Membership: Bob Kahn, Jack Brush, Charles White, Trophy: Richard Quarg.

Sectional reports were made as follows: Vancouver B.C., Lawrence Culter; Seattle, N. Robert Grimm; Tacoma, Bruce Mclean; Oakland, Donald F. White; San Francisco, Louis Servente; Berkeley, Kenneth MacBeath, Los Angeles, Edward M. Bauer and Clarence Bohnoff; San Diego, Gordon Frost. Special reports on hardwood panel products were made by W. F. Fahs and Fred B. Smales.

Forest Fire Danger Continues

"Despite an abnormally rainy early summer, the Douglas fir region faces its most serious forest fire danger in a quarter of a century because of the unprecedented debris caused by last fall's Columbus Day blowdown," said W. D. Hagenstein, Industrial Forestry Association, Portland, Oregon.

Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, Governor Hatfield, of Oregon, and Governor Rosellini, of Washington, have invited forestry and industry leaders to a Columbus Day Blowdown Fire Prevention 'Conference at Portland. Immediately following, IFA announced the mailing of the llth edition of its widely used POCKET MANUAL ON FOREST LAWS AND PRACTICE FOR THE DOUGLAS FIR REGION (a separate edition each for Oregon and Washington).

Art Neth would like an opportunlty to tell you how your customers will appreciate the greater efiiciency and ease of handllng obtalned by using Rogge "dry-s19t"n"" lumber. You can reach him by calling TRiangle 3-2663 or STate 3-054t1. A. W. I{ETH, LUIIIBER SALES

The Manual, first issued in 1941, is updated every two years and distributed to loggers and tree farmers to assist them in preventing forest fires. This year with the Manual, Hagenstein said, a special list of- Extra Fire Precautions for the Columbus Day Blowdown was included.

The Washington edition was mailed to 851 logging operators and W'est Coast Tree Farmers in Western Washington. The Oregon edition was mailed to 1335 logging operators and West Coast Tree Farmers. In addition, all forest protection agencies, private and public, throughout the Douglas Fir Region received copies of the Manual for use of their personnel.

The forester stressed that the blowdown left logging slash this year even where there has been no logging, and that all it takes for a major fire is a single spark in one of these debrisladen areas.

Single copies of the Pocket Manual are available without charge from Industrial Forestry Association, l4l0 S. W. Morrison St., Portland, Oregon.

Operator's Permit Revoked

De$'itt Nelson, Director of the Department of Conservation, revoked the timber operator's permits of LeRoy S. Elliott, Robert P. Matthews, John W. Benbow, and the Mansfield-Benbow Corporation, all of Garberville in Humboldt County.

Revocations became effective immediately on the Elliott and Matthews permits. Execution of the order to revoke the Benbow and the Mansfield-Benbow Corporation permits will be stayed 120 days and

with provisions that they repair damages caused by their past timber operations by bringing into compliance all areas found to be in violation o{ the forest practice rules for the Redwood Forest District.

Elliott, Matthews, Benbow, and the Mansfield-Benbow Corporation were charged by State Forester Francis H. Raymond with failure and refusal to leave a source oI seed {or restocking the cutover timberlands, to leave tractor roads and logging roads

in condition to minimize soil erosion, and to comply with forest fire prevention rules on areas logged by them in northern Mendocino and southern Humboldt Counties. Charges made by the State Forester were heard by Hearing Oflicer Coleman E. Stewart in the Veteran's Memorial Building in Garberville on June 17 and 18' 1963.

In the decision against immediate revo' cation of the John W. Benbow and the Mansfield-Benbow Corporation permits, both Director Nelson and Hearing Officer Stewart determined the State's interest in the protection of its forests and soils would best be served if these timber operators corrected past damages caused by their logging operations thus preventing further deterioration to productive timberlands. Revocation of timber operators' permits provides no means of compelling rehabili' tation of devasted areas: therefore. this conditional order suspends these two operators's permits pending compliance with specified corrective measures.

In signing the orders revoking two timber operator permits and suspending two timber operator permits, Director Nelson said, "All social and economic aspects of forest land management must be given the most serious consideration to insure a continuous supply of forest products and related benefits. This decision and order recognizes these factors by securing compliance and rehabilitation of the damaged forest and soil resources including erosion control and stress protection, reforestation and fire prevention measures of snag and slash disposal."

Home lmprovemenl Yeqr Aids Remodeling Business

Nationwide support for Home Improvement Year, coming from all levels of the industry, now make it certain that 1963 *iU l" the biggest year ever for the remodeling business, according to Harold C. Mattlin, President of National Home Improvement Council. "We expect many additional thousands of homeowners to make improvements to their dwellings as a result of the Year", he stated.

Mattlin listed the following information concerning the program's progress: In addition to President Kennedy's endorsement, thirty State Governors have proclaimed or endorsed Home Improvement Year.

At the national level many organizations are providing advertising and promotional support of the Year: They have planned promotional tie-ins, Mattlin stated, involving advertising in trade and consumer magazines and on television in some instances. Mattlin also paid tribute to the many consumer and trade magazines who are supporting Home Improvement Year through editorial features and promotional assistance.

Local level efforts have increased rapidly, he declared. NHIC's How To Improve Your Home School program, a featured part of the Year, has advised thousands of homeowners about their remodeling program. Fourteen schools have been held in the Los Angeles area and three in San Diego. Others are planned for Phoenix, Las Vegas, Portland, New Orleans, Chicago, New Haven, Connecticut and Philadelphia. NHIC expects to hold 100 schools during the year. In addition, 2,000 community mayors have been invited to proclaim Home Improvement Year. Also, 2,000 newspapers have been provided with editorial material pointing up the benefits of remodeling. Many newspapers have already run or are planning special home improvement sections as a result.

Production ond Field Tesls of Nqtion's First Southern Pine Plywood Highly Successful

The nation's first Southern Pine Plywood made on a production basis has passed all laboratory and field tests with flying colors. The plywood, described as tough and pleasing in appearance, will go to market from a new mill in Fordyce, Ark., on a regular production basis starting early next year, it has been announced by Georgia-Pacific Corp.

Initial test runs of this new type of forest product have been made at various company plywood plants as part of an intensive pine plywood research and developm,ent program.

Georgia-Pacific, first to develop the new techniques, already has started construction of the nation's first Southern Pine plywood plant at Fordyce. It will be a hot press operation with initial production in various sheathing grades, including CD grade sheathing with an exterior glueline.

Better Quolity, Economy in Home Building Promised by New Sizes

Keystone of the cost-reduction, quality'improvement of new-home construction r:ampaign, a project backed by the National Association of Home Builders, National Lumber Manufactures Association and construction experts of the U.S. Savings and Loan League, is a new systenr of lumber sizes.

The new standards, r:ow before the Commerce Department {or final approval, have been recommended by the American Lumber Standards Committee, a government-industry group representing producers, distributors and major users of forest products.

Stripped of technicalities, the new system provides for'ogreen" and "dry" lumber to be surfaced to difieren sizes at the mill so that, as nearly as possible, they will be the sarne size a{ter application in residential ard other classes of construction.

Just the opposite occurs today' "Green" lumber (generally, that which has a moisture content of 30 per cent or more) and "dry" lumber (pieces with a moisture content of 19 per cent or less) are surfaced to the sarne dimensions at the mill; conse' quently, because the "green" lumber shrinks in transit or shortly after being nailed in placg the two end tp d,ifrerent sizes by the time they see service as studs, rafters, joists or other supporting members.

Architect John L. S':hmidt, construction specialist of the U.S. Savings and Loan League, has urged endorsement of the new dry sizes by that organization's more than 5,000 member institutions, responsible for about 95 per cent o{ the total assets of savings and loan associations in this country and nearly half of the mortgages extended annually.

Schmidt has pointed out that the new sizes will result in an immediate savings to the producer of about seven per cent of his raw material-the forests. He added:

"Shipping costs will become less because dry lumber is lighter and more can be loadet! on a freight car. The total savings can means as much as $100 million a year, according to reliable estimates."

'One of the most important effects of the new sizes, commented the National Association of Home Builders will be o'fewer problems related to shrirriiage," the harbinger of plaster cracking, nailpops in drywall, spliting of improperly nailed siding, cracks in woodwork, stickin;4 doors and similar problems.

Moreover, NAHB noted, the new dry sizes will be as strong or stronger than lumber manufactured to the present governmentindustry standards fcr unseasoned stock.

This is explained b,v the fact that the new dry sizes will be-in the case ol a 2"x8" lloor joist, for example--only slightly thinner but a full quarter-inch deeper than the green size after seasoning.

According to the government's U.S. Forest Products f,aboratory, depth has much more tr, do with strength and stifiness than does thickness. Other advantages of the new system, as pointed out by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association: (1) The new standards are expected to provide the architect and builder with greater assurance of receiving a quality product whether dry or green lumber is speci{ied. (2) With specific sizes for seasoned and unseasoned lumber, inspection and enforcement of size standards will be improved. (3) A proposed new "engineered" size for sheathing and paneling boards would cut production and shipping costs, make these items easier to handle and install, and facilitate the use of rapid-naililg power equipment.

Nature's miracle substance has to be wood, one scientist exclaimed recently. No other natural material can do all the things that wood can do. It can be sawed, bored, nailed, turned, planed, painted, treatedo stained, and it will not rust.

Pioneer Prefabricafed House Passes the Test of Time

The granddaddy of the prefabricated house industry got a physical examination on its 25th birthday recently and was pronounced in excellent health.

The patriarch is, of course, a pioneer prefabricated house designed and built of wood at the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1937 and since then widely used by industry as an

engineering prototype for America's factory-built homes.

Throughout the quarter,century of its existence on the Laboratory grounds, the house has been in use for offices. Towered over by the five-story main building and other structures. it looks rather like a flattopped suburban "contemporary" nestled among Manhattan's sky-scrapers.

But the 25 years through which it has withstood Wisconsin's rugged climate have proven its durability as no laboratory test could. And so Laboratory research engi. neers decided to celebrate its silver anniversary by removing vital parts and submitting them to various tests.

The parts were two wall panels that could be slipped out of place by removing a few screws and sawins ofi an inch or so of the inner edge.

Supervising the operation was Otto C. Heyer, housing engineer who aided in the planning and construction 25 years ago. Like a doting relative, he hovered over every phase of the operation and examined the panels inch by inch for signs of aging and decrepitude. He found practically none.

In fact, when one half-panel was placed in a testing machine and loaded in bending-the engineers called it "quarter-point loading"-it exceeded all expectations in strength and stiffness. Two and a half tons of load were necessary before it gave way -many times the design load normally required for house walls.

When built, the house was unique in that it represented the first truly engineered structure of its type ever built in this country. The engineers who designed it-the late John Newlin and George W. Trayer, who has since retiredincorporated a radically new principle of design. They called it the o'stressed-skin" principle.

Essentially, explains Heyer, this principle means that you make the skin of the house carry its part of the load, not putting the whole job on the framework. In conventionally built houses, the "skins" of sheathing, siding, flooring, and roofing are expected only to enclose the house. The framework of joists, studs, and rafters supports all loads including the weight of the structure itself, furniture, appliance, and occupants.

The late Eleanor Roosevelt, then First Lady of the United States, visited the house in i937 just after its completion and exclaimed over its practicality as a new concept for low-cost housing. Many industry leaders have since agreed with her, adapting its stressed-skin principle to factory methods of making floors, walls, and roofs of houses as well as dramatic new structural designs, such as folded-plate roofs, space planes, and arch forms.

BnooKs-ScANLoN

Laboratory officials estimate that today 75 percent or more of all prefabricated houses utilize this principle one way or another. Two years ago, on the occasion of the Laboratory's golden anniversary, the industry proclaimed the modest onestory dwelling as the oogreatest single contribution to housing since the invention o{ the nail." On behalf of the Home Manu{acturer's ,Association, George E. Price, president of National Homes, Inc., Lafay-

BEND, OREGON

AUGUST, t963

ette, Ind., hung a plaque on a wall.

Other industry leaders have hailed it as "the granddaddy of the prefabricated house industry."

At the time the house was built, plywood made with waterproof synthetic resin glues was coming on the market as a result of pioneering by the Laboratory. This type of Douglas-fir plywood was used for the exterior of the house.

The plywood skins were nail-glued to the light wood framework with a commercial woodworking glue, nails being used to apply pressure until the glue cured.

In consequence, a point of acute interest among Laboratory research workers was how well such glue joints have stood up.

In tests to date, no reason has been uncovered to think that the glue bond holding the plywood to framing has deteriorated with age, says Heyer. In fact, the bending loads imposed in the testing machine broke the wood while the glue joints held firmly.

Parts of the panels removed will be cut into small specimens for further evaluation o{ the glue joints, both those holding the skins to the {ramework and those in the plywood itself. When these are completed, the FPL scientists will have a completely documented story on the aging characteristics of glue joints in a prefabri' cated house system.

A two-story brother of the house, built about the same time but not yet complete when Mrs. Roosevelt visited here, is also in constant service as an office. Some years ago it was jacked up and turned around a full half-circle for greater convenience in connecting it with another laboratory building. Even this left no visible efiect of distress on it.

And the experiments continue. To replace the panels removed, Heyer and his associates have built new ones made the same way, except that a new experimental glue which sets on contact was used to attach the plywood skins to the lumber framework. If successful, this glue should prove highly useful in speeding production and cutting costs for future stressed-skin house elements and other building comPonents.

New Plont for Pope & Tolboi

Pope & Talbot, Inc. announced it has started construction of a dry process hardboard plant adjacent to its sawmill at Oakridge, Oregon. The cost of the new facility will be in excess of $3 million.

In addition to producing a high grade, smooth two sides hardboard, the new plant will turn out a wide range of panels in lower densities. Its design was developed through extensive pilot plant and marketine studies.

Construction should be completed by the latter part of 1964. l'or raw material the plant will process the Oakridge mill waste which is now being sold in the form of pulp chips.

Hardboard will complete Pope & Talbot's utilization program at Oakridge and will increase the Company's market diversification. In addition to the Oakridge sawmill Pope & Talbot is operating particle board and green veneer plants at the same location.

Pope & Talbot's other sawmills are located at Port Gamble, Washington, and St. Helens, Oregon. In 1961 the Company purchased a plywood plan at Kalama, Washington.

Pope & Talbot recently terminated its steamship operations by selling its four remaining vessels.

Potlotch Acquisition

Potlatch Forests, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho, has purchased the stock of Maxwell Brothers, Inc., corrugated shipping container manufacturerso for more than $l million. Maxwell Brothers has plants in Chicago and Albany, Ga.

The acquisition will enable Potlatch "to better serve" its customers and also is a step in the "growth and stabilization" of marketing efforts, according to the company.

"We are planning on the largest group of Building Material Wholesale Distributors ever assembled. We hope to exceed the 750 persons who attended last year's meeting." This was the comment of l,ewis H. Jenkins, President of the National Building Material Distributors Association in discussing the l2th Annual Convention of NBMDA to be held at the Palmer House, Chicago, Illinois, November l4th-I6th.

In reviewing the format for the NBDMA conference, Jenkins stated that, "the three and one-half day program would be primarily devoted to workshop sessions, and planned seminars for wholesale distributors and manufacturers aimed at improving profits."

New programs planned for this year's convention include-the first meeting of NBMDA's Plywood Council ,which will give all NBMDA members interested in plywood, an opportunity to exchange current business information on thib commodity product on a national level. Because of its importance in the distributor's warehouse, prefinished plywood paneling will be given top billing at this meeting. Key plywood manufacturer executives are being invited to participate in this program.

A series of eight manufacturer breakfast meetings are also being initiated-the objective of these meetings is to provide an oppor' tunity for distributors of a specific manufacturer to discuss the manufacturer's program and make recommendations to the manufacturer as to liroduct marketing and sales improvement. This format is comparable to many Manufacturer'Distributor Advisory Councils now being held periodically.

The entire afternoon of November lSth will be devoted to a ooManufacturer Conference Booth Session" and 150 booths are being readied for top sales personnel of national manufacturers to mleet and discuss lndividual distributor problems with wholesaler personnel. Jenkins stated that, "The Conference Booth technique has rapidly grown at the NBMDA Annual Conventions and staited with only-30 Conference Booths in 1960-we should exceed 150 booths this year."

M. L. McCreery, President of Michigan Wholesalers, Jackson, Michigan and Chairman of the Educational Committee has proe.u-r;"d several schools for NBMDA members covering "PurJhasing and Inventory Control School",three "Workshops in Advanied Salesmanship" for NBMDA sales personnel and two schools at the Executive level which would cover financial and administrative management which will be reviewed by this group' Friday, November lSth has been designated as o'Manufacturer's Day" and the complete day will be spent in a series of -panel dis".r.rion, and talks by the key manufacturer and distributor personnel and professional business consultants.

To top ofi 'oManufacturer's Day", Jenkins stated he "was attempting to have Luther Hodges, U. S. Secretary of Commerceo as the featured sPeaker.

While Jenkins stressed the business-like approach to the 3t/2 , day Convention, he also commented 'othat sufficient time had been provided for social functions and that special pro-grams were Leirrg planned for the ladies attending the Convention'"

Philippine Forest Induslries Receive Technicol Aid

l.lnder an international program to aid the Philippine Republir' in developing its own forest industries, Dr. Arthur B. Antlerson will be spending the coming year in the island nation.

Dr. Anderson, wood chemist in the University of California l'orest Products Laboratory at Richmond, will devote his year in the Philippines to evaluating the wood chemistry program of the Philippine Forest Products Research Institute, working with the Institute's scientists to develop new ideas.

The Institute, a part of the University of the Philippines, is situated at College Laguna. Sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization o{ the United Nations, the Institute came into being around 10 ,vears ago. Experts {rom around the world have been sent to the Institute by the F.A.O.

Through development of a lorest products industry, Dr. Dickinson said, the lnstitute aims to broaden the economy of the Republic. Until recently much of the timber harvested {rom the Philippine forests have been shipped as logs and manufactured into lumber and plywood in other countries.

One telephone call to one Western lumberman started just one piece o{ lumber on its r.ray to a (ustomer in Alaska.

The special-ordered piece of lumber rvas shipped by truck lrom Seattle. \I/ashington, to Cape Lisburne, Alaska.

The customer specified a 6-inch by B-int:h by 26-foot long piet'e of penta-treated selt'ct structural lumber for a vital constructiott project on the DEW (Distant Early Warning) line.

Less than a week after the order was received by Bla-"en and Cranat Lumber Corp.. Portland, Oregon, the hard-to-find specialty order was on its way to Elmendorf Air Force base in Alaska.

Since the original inquiry was received, he had located a supplier. receir-ed a price, quoted this price to the customer. received a formal orrler and instructed the supplier. The pie<:e rvas loaded on a truck and headed up the Alcan Highway lor the frozen North. The entire operation had been handlcd by the wholesaler.

Association's Warning Nips Phony Check Racket

Our thanks n The Lumber Associntion ol Southern Cali' lornia lor their permission t'o reprint this cops and, robbers tale lrom their buLletin.

As a direct result of your Association's warnings, Eagle Rock Lumber Company employee, Jim Morrow, became suspicious of an order they received on June 25th.

The customer had followed the pattern described in your Association Bulletins, indicating he planned to have a truck pick up the order on Saturday. Eagle Rock Lumber checked out the address given by the suspect and found it to be false.

Sergeant Kamp of the Los Angeles Police Forgery Division was then notified. He requested that Eagle Rock Lumber go through with. the order, accept the cashier's check and allow the police to follow the truck in the hope of recovering the other stolen merchandise as well as apprehending the culprits. This was done and last Saturday the suspects kept their appointment,

picked up the order and left Eagle Rock Lumber with $2,600 in merchandise and the police in very careful pursuit. Three or four unmarked cars were used with both policemen and policewomen dressed in sport clothes, etc. In true cloak-anddagger tradition, the suspects spent over two hours parked down the street and watching for a ootail."

When finally convinced they weren't being followed they headed off on the San Bernardino Freeway. A flat tire on the heavily overloaded truck caused a delay in Covina. In the process of trying to get the tire repaired the driver spotted the police o'tail." He hopped a cab for Los Angeles but was quickly apprehended.

After interrogation he admitted his role and implicated his cohorts who were at Big Bear Lake. The male members of the police team went on to Big Bear Lake where they arrested another member of the gang. He in turn implicated the ringleader. Police found the printing press and photographic equipment used by the

CALIFOINIA turltlEl rilEtGl{AlilT

gang to make the fake checks and to fashion their phony identification cards and drivers' Iicenses. Sargent Kamp said they had enough phony ID's and cashier's checks to hit another ten or fifteen lumber yards and they apparently planned to do just that. He was high in his praise of your Lumber Association (L.A.S.C.) for assisting in the capture of these forgers.

Eagle Rock Lumber had their material all safely back in their yard by 9:00 P.M. Saturday and, of course, they hadn't given any change in cash for the $3,000 cashier's check given them by the suspects. Naturally, there was considerable handling of lumber and material involved but Eagle Rock Lumber feels this was well worth the effort. They would like to acknowledge the cooperation of the following suppliers who graciously agreed to accept the special material ordered out back for credit without handling charge: A-1 Louvre Window, Diamond'oW" Supply, Ed Fountain Lumber Company, Parko Plumbing Supply and So-Cal Building Materials Co.

Much of the stolen material has already found its way into cabins under construction at Big Bear Lake. Howevero a goodly stack of unused material was recovered and will be returned to those yards victimized. The gang has confessed and agreed to assist in identifying the stolen goods.

EMSR TUMBER

(Contiwzd, lrom Page 8)

grading and stamping are done in one compact operation which automatically takes into account knots, density, grain slope, growth rate, moisture content and other important factors. These would be difficult and time consuming to determine by other grriding methods. The machine will grade up to 1000 lineal feet per minute and handle lumber 2 inches thick and 4, 6. 8, l0 and 12 inches wide. Lengths may run from 8 to 26 feet.

As each piece of lumber enters the machine. it is deflected 5/16 oI an inch first in one direction and then the other. By measuring the force necessary to cause this deflection in each direction, the influence of bows, tapered and spike knots and other factors are eliminated. An instrument of the type used in seismographic equipment measures the force every six inches along each piece of lumber and transmits this information to a computor. The computor everages the measurements and activates a mechanism to apply the correct strength grade mark on the lumber. Lumber that not meet the standards of the lowest

E-rating is not stamped. The CLT-I maehine is designed to be accurately cali. brated, checked and sealed by grading as5ociations.

The f-value, as well as the E-rating, is shown on the stamp. McKean said Potlatch has established, and many enginers now accept, the fact that modulus of elasticity (E) is closely related to fiber stress in liending (f ).

E-rating means improved uniformity of structural properties in each lumber grade. Engineers a.nd builders will be assured of the dependability of E-rated lumber, McKean adds.

EMSR lumber will reduce lumber- sizes required for some structural lumber applications, which means a savings to the user. In major developments of from 100 to l00O homes, this adds up to 95,0O0 to $50,000 in savings to the builder.

With this new lumber. architects can do much more precise design work with complete confidence in each piece of wood. The dealer will be able to be of more assistance to some of his customers without beinc a bona fide engineer. Instead of 4O pages"of tables for spans, as in the FHA Minimum Property Standards, one page with four tables of E- and f-ratings will suffice. And finally, the consumer will have greater confidence that each piece of structural lumber supporting his floor and roof has been rated and measured. This will assure him that it will carry the load it is supposed to carry and will do its job better.

o'Everyone should benefit". says McKean

about this new development. "Improved reliability and fewer grades will simplify design procedures for the builder and architect."

Dectro-mechanical stress-rating for lumber means faster, more economical efficient Itrmber classification with the most accurate strength measurement yet devised. Yet, when in place and performing its assigned tasks, it can actually mean a savings to consumers and home owners . literally pay its way.

two-day event was unanimously judged "right on par" by everycine who attended.

A little special sidelight on the affair occurred early Saturday morning, after a big evening of fun and fermentation (natch), when Dubs prexy Bill Bonnell was suddenly informed that his wife was on the way to a Peninsula hospital more than a hundred miles away with the birth of their third baby imminent. In fact, he was downright restless.

Now we're not going to quote speed records from Carmel to Belmont (good morn-

ing judge), but from what we gathered Bill could well wind up in pole position at next year's lndy classic, even without the help of a Lotus-Ford. Congratulations Bill -and welcome Bill The Third.

Friday evening, June 14, was the big night and everyone gathered at the Inn for cocktails and dinner-dancing. The winners of the day's competition were announced at the dinner. In the men's division the winners were:

First flight, Bill Freeland, Gran Geisert and Joe Marenco, Bob Cheim and Roy Sjolund. Second flight, Tom Gray and Tom Jacobseno Les Doddington, Bill Bonnell,

Bill Johnson and Gordon Davis. Third flight, Dick Merritt, Jack Crane and Ed French, Al Soulages and Ben Ward. In the guest flight, M. Basso and J. DiMatteo tied for top honors.

In the women's division, first to third honors went to Pati Johnson, Vera Davis and Bonnie Angell.

The big Annual Weekend concluded, the next Dubs get-together will be a joint meeting with Santa Clara Valley Hoo-Hoo Club 170 at the San Jose Country Club on August 16. The sponsor will be Carl Travis who has arranged a big Hoo-Hoo Dubs Barbeque following the dual tournament.

The American Economy

Our thanks to the Union Lum.ber Company lor permission to reproduce this excellent editorinl which first appeared in ilrc March-April, 1963 issue ol Union's The Noyo Chiel.-Editor.

WHY did our free market, private enterprise economy make us the best fed, best clothed, best housed, and the most prosperous people on the face of the earth?

WHY did this economic system provide the goods and services to more than satisfy the needs of over I70 million Americans?

V/HY did this economic system provide 7/o of. the world's population, occupying 60/o ol the world's land area, with over 5O/o of the world's wealth?

WHY did the United States attract the millions of people who migrated here voluntarily?

WHY did man, who worked ceaselessly at back-breaking drudgery and lived in hunger, filth and disease for thousands of years, suddenly find in one small spot on earth, a supply of material things that gave him the highest standard of living the world has ever known?

WHY did this happen in the United States? Some might say it was our natural resources. But, the countries of Asia, Europe and Africa also have rich supplies. These resources have always been there.

Have we worked harder? People of most other countries have worked much harder.

Did we inherit superiority? Our ancestors starved and struggled as did all other peoples.

Do we have more energy-mental or physical-than other peoples of the world? This is hardly reasonable-but, we have made more efiective use of our human energies than have any other people on the face of the globe-anywhere or at ny time.

The "Why" to our material progress and wealth is found in a history and tradition of freedom and opportunity that goes back to our early settlers-and to two political documents they brought into being.

During tlle colonization period the Spanish, French and Dutch colonies were set up as government ventures. Each colony was given detailed instructions for clearing the land, caring for fences and gates, plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, and dividing the crops.

In contrast, English colonies were private ventures and not government sponsored. The English colonist-not subject to government regulations-was free to move about, free to work whereever he pleased, free to set up his own business. As a business man, he was free to buy and sell whatever and wherever he wished. In only four generations the frontier settlements of America had been transformed by these self-reliant settlers into established towns and farms which were more productive thany any in Europe.

England became alarmed at the growth and wealth of the colonies. For the t'common good,'n King George III restricted emigration to the colonies, prohibited any more settlers from moving westward, reserved the best pine trees for the Royal Navy, restricted industry to England and agriculture to the -colonies, restricted and controlled trade.

The American pioueers having had a taste of freedom and its unrestricted opportunities to grow and prosper ignored the restric-

SAN RAMON RETAILER

(Continued, lrom Page 4 ) electrical, power and hand tools and countless other items for the weekend carpenter trade.

San Ramon Valley Mill and Lumber celebrated its store renovation and expansion with an informal open house May l-4 with Mrs. Gladys Spencer, wife of manger Bud Spencer, and Harry's bride Alyce acting as hostesses, Several hundred good customers from the Danville area showed up to share cofee with the staff. Refreshingly, the open house was not treated in a bargain-day sale manner. Rather, the whole thing was treated in a friendly, easy-going tempo, more of a party than a commercial occurance.

Looking at the man at the helm of this thriving business we find a fellow who logged his 42nd year in the lumber business last February. The year of l92l was the year that Harry Stewart entered the lumber business with the old C. S. Pierce Lumber Company in Fresno.

ln 1925, Harry decided to take a swipe at the manufacturing end of the business, so he moved to Westwood, California, where he became assistant of the old Red River - Lurnber Company's veneer plant.

During the I930's, retailing beckoned again and Harry signed on with Diamond National, a company still referred to as Diamond Match Company by anyone who's

had his hand in the business as long as Harry has.

Stewart worked his way up through the ranks with Diamond and became area supervisor, part of which included Contra Costa County to which San Ramon Valley Mill and Lumber pays its taxes. San Ramon Valley Mill and Lumber, established by the late Irving Nelson in 1937, was located in an area of great future potential, Harry noticed while making his rounds for Diamond. What's more, it was giving his yard at Walnut Creek a good run for it, too.

Diamond Match authorized Stewart to negotiate for the yard, but owner Nelson held firm. Finally, during 1944, Nelson conceded to do business--but onlv with Stewart individually. And that's how the whole thing got started. Danville gained another solid citizen and businessman. and the northern California retail lumber industry gained another long-range member.

Monthly Lumber Focts

Both orders and production of lumber at Douglas fir region sawmills in Oregon and Washington for the first six months of l!)63 were falling behind the same period a year ago. Production was ofi nearly 100 million feet and orders fell 200 million feet behind the first half of 1962. Shipments were down lB0 million feet.

The lumber inventory of.872 million feet, generally considered lumber in process of manufacture, is the lowest in several months.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in June was 162,68O000 b.f. or 89.1/o of the 1958-62 average. Orders averaged 164,170,000 b.f.; shipments 160,234,W0 b.f.; weekly averages for May were production 151,813,000 b.f',95.4/o oL the 1958-62 average; orders 163,203,000 b.f.; shipments I69,839,0(n b.f.

Six months of the cumulative production 3,996,049,000 b.f.; six months oL 1962, 4,094,933,000 b.f.; six months of 1961, 4,039,'[87,000 b.f.

Orders for six months of 1963 bn'rk down as follows: Rail and truck 3,054,403,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 666,635,000 b.f.; export 20I,804,000 b.f.; local 150,807,000 b.f.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 577,953,000 b.f. at the end of June, lumber inventory at 872,038,00 Ob.f.

Biggest surprise of the Columbus Day, 1962, hurricane which hit Oregon, Washington and California a ssvere blow was the way wood cedar shingles withstood the 150-mile-an-hour winds. Metal and composition shingles took a terrific beating, and were ripped ofi by the winds.

The Sound Trap, which comes complete with an attractive counter display card, is used by dealer customers to test for themselves the sound absorbing efficiency of acoustical ceiling tile.

First, the customer holds the empty Sound Trap about one inch from his ear and listens to sound waves bouncine against hard surfaees. Next. he drops i round piece of Celotex acoustical tile into the container (inset) and listens again. The sharp drop in noise level gives the customer a quick, simple, and effective demonstration of the sound quieting power of acoustical tile.

TETTERS wow!

Mr. David Cutler Managing Editor

California Lumber Merchant

Dear Editor Cutler:

We are shocked to find a misleading advertisement for asphalt roofing in your July issue, disguised as a news article.

"Misleading" is a mild term for this type of propaganda. There is no basis of faet in any one statement in this article. I even suspect that the photo is faked, and that the asphalt roof has never been subject to high winds.

To state that building-oli/ners in areas of high winds "are turning to wind-resistant asphalt shingles to protect their homes" is a direct falsehood. Following every hurricane in this country, there has been an avalanche of orders for carIoads of red cedar shingles for replacement of asphalt roofs which have been stripped from buildings throughout the path of the hurricane.

I have seen a town in Arkansas, following a mild hurricane, in which no shred of asphalt remained on one roofl only the nail heads being visible. The shingle roofs had not been materially damaged. This is only one case out of hundreds in which this has happened.

The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT and the GULF COAST LUMBERMAN have been advocates of shingles and of forest products since these journals were founded by Jack Dionne. If you are reversing your field after these many years, I urge that, to retain integrity you change the name of your journal to eliminate the word "lumber."

I am reporting this article to Virgil Peterson, SecretaryManager of Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, for such action as he may think advisable.

Donald H. Clark, Promotion Director, Red Cedar Shingle Bureau.

For other actions by Mr. Peterson see story on page 82.Edinr.

Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the item and picture concerning the promotion of James Prasek on page 62 of your July 1963 issue.

Please be advised that the picture which was used is that of Don C, Smith who was promoted to manager of our Biggs store at about the same time that Mr. Prasek was promoted to Manager at Lincoln.

Very truly yours, C. L. Millman, Diamond National Corp.

The correct pi,cture ol Mr. Prasek it at right. Our apologies lor the mixup.-Editor.

Diamond National Sorporation has Promoted James Prasek to manager of the company's Lincoln store, replacing Paul. Guarcello who has been transferred to Falr 0akland. Prasek first came to work for Diamond in 1952 at the company's old North Sacramento store and has held a variety of jobs from lumber stacker to credit manager during his 11 years of employment with the comPanY. He js a gardener, specializing in potted Plants, and lives with his wife, Ann, in Lincoln.

Most customers call it "inferior." We don't sell it. Never have. Globe's paneling is hardwood, front and back. No buckle. No sway. We could sell the other stuff. We'd make money, too.

THE LU'IABER STRIKE

(Continued, lrom Page I)

Other side developments of the strike are beginning to make themselves felt too. Lumber trade associations are taking a startled look at their budgets. Supported by dues paid on a per thousand board feet basis, or per thousand sq. ft. of plywood, association income is dwindling. Promotional activities will have to be cut drastically if the strike drags on, as many predct it will, into the Fall months.

If the strike continues, what about logs next Winter? With sixty days of logging already down the drain for the strikebound mills, many operators face limited op€ration during the Winter months of fqOA. And non-union mills, for the most part in northern Cali' fornia, are chewing up logs as fast as they reach the dump in the face of tfre hottest price market since 1955.

At the retail level we find builders switching to substitute mater' ials, notably roofing, siding and sheathing. Many retailers predict that some of ttt" b"ita"r customers may develop a preference for these substitute materials which, if nothing else, offer the builder reasonable, consistent prices and reliable delivery schedules.

What looked like a banner year has suddenly become a bumper vear. The relief rolls in the Pacific Northwest continue to grow; ihe Wood Promotion Programs sufiers; sawmill operators and all related business suffers; manufacturers of substitute building materials get an unexpected opportunity to grab a litde more of the marketf and manl construction projects are either postponed, or completely cancelled for this year.

T[e age-old question pretty well sums it all up: "Who the Hell really gains by a strike?"

Red Cedor Shingle Bureou Set To Join N.[.M'A'

Cedar Shingle, Shoke Soles Are Best Ever

Handsplit shake production has increased 38/o and shingle production l4/o fior the first six months of 1963 compared to the same period of. 1962,

nre nea Cedar Shingle Bureau, Seattle, Wash., in releasing the figures for their member mills said that the increase is a result oi growing popularity of red cedar shingles and shakes in the residential. commercial, church and school construction markets.

Bureau spok€smen indicate that the first six months of 1962 was considered to be one of the best sales and production periods the industry has had, and are predicting that the trend toward increased use of cedar shingles and shakes will continue on the upswing during the latter part of 1963 and well into 1964.

UARCO's New Autogrophic Register for Lumber Deolers

A custom designed autographic register for lumber dealers. the Colorite Guardian Reeorder, has been announced by UARCO Incorporated, designers and manufacturers of business forms and forms equipment.

The new register is available with a choice of four simulated wood-grain side panels: Executive Wa I nut, Executive, Cherry, Briarwood, and Executive Birch, to fit in with lumber office decor,

The new register is said to offer positive business record control and a fast method of preparing handwritten documents. When used with UARCO's "CP" (Certified Protection) Register system for Lumber Dealers, it provides a complete accounting record and one system for both

yard and store.

A four copy form written in the Guardian Recorder provides an Invoice, Office Copy, Yard Order, and Audit Copy. The last copy refolds into a locked compartment of the register. An anti-retraction device, exclusive feature of this new register, makes it impossible to remove forms from this compartment without a key.

Forms are loaded into the register in a continuous and consecutively numbered stack. Once a pack of folms is placed in the register, up to 200 individual sales tickets can be written without interruption. There are no carbons to insert or dispose of; no loose books or forms to misplace; and all copies are clear and legible.

The new Guardian Recorder is made of durable, cold-rolled steel. Its stainless steel lid is inclined for writinq ease. The cus-

tomer can use his present supply of register forms with this new machine, or may order forms especially designed for the "CP" system.

In addition to the four wood-grain panels, there are 27 additional side panels available in colors, leatherette, and fabricgrain finishes. Panels which incorporate corporate symbols or custom fabricated panels are available on order.

Additional infonnation may be obtained by writing UARCO Incorporated, Dept. TA, West County Line Road, Barrington, Illinois.

One reason why people like to use exposed wood in their homes for wall paneling and trim is because of its variety of interest and beauty.
