Pccific Northwest Lumber Exports Show Increcrse

Seattle-Pacific Northwest waterborne lumber exports last month were the highest in more than a year, largely as a result of increased British Columbia exports, the Pacific Lumber Inspe,ction Bureau reports.

The June export total compared with 78,897,962 board feet the previous month and 82,O96,188 in June last year; 176,436,541 in June 1947 and 4O,804,L49 in June 7946.

Ponderosa Pine National Survey Reveals Trend in Decoration

What are America's favorite wall colors? Do homeplanners prefer natural wood finishes, stains and varnish or paint for doors and interior trim ? What color scheme is chosen most often for bedrooms and dining rooms ? These are some of the many questions asked by ponderosa Pine Woodwork in a recent nationwide survey to determine decorative preferences and trends.

One of the interesting facts revealed by the survey is that the geographic location of the respondents has a definite influence on their decorative preferences. For example, there is a strong preference for the natural wood look in the north central and western regions while the northeastern and southern regions tend to favor painted interior doors. Painted doors are preferred nationally for bedrooms, though responses from the north central region ran counter to national preference.

A distinct preference for pastel colors in wall decoration was shown by the survey. For the U. S. as a whole. painted walls are preferred for living room, kitchen anci halls, while wallpaper has a slight edge over paint for the dining room, and the two types of finishes are favored about equally for bedrooms.

The survey is part of the Ponderosa pine long range research program which seeks to keep the industry abreest of changing trends by conducting periodical surveys on a nationwide basis.

They Have To Be

'"Are our campaigners always good?" Asked little Jakey Story; "They have to be," sairl uncle Zeke, And waxed explanatory; "Now listen to me, Jakey dear, And I will make the reason clear.

"Now when a worthy man steps forth To labor for the state, His past is public property, His foes investigate; And if his record bears a stain, They search for it-and not in vain.

"FIe may seem weak and peaceful, As any woolley sheep, But if he ever harmed a friend Or failed a pledge to keep, There is no shadow of a do.ubt, But that his sins will find him out.

"The meddling voters will not let His past lie as it should, They magnify the ill he's done And overlook the good; And that's the reason, Jakey lad, Men can't campaign if 'hey've been bad."

"Singl" Package Private Housing" Bill Proposed by Senator Sparkman

Senator Sparkman, of Alabama, has introduced a bill, S. 2246 of 92 pages, in the Senate covering what he terms to be the desirable features of some dozen or more housing bills before the Congress.

His bill includes some of the major features of. 5.712, previously reported to you as a "private industry aid bill." The five main Titles of Senator Sparkman's bill and a brief description are as follows:

Title I

(1) Extends Title I of the National Housing Act until July I, 1952.

(2) Provides for new type of Title I, Class 3, insurance under a new Section 8 of the National Housing Act, with a $4,700 top mortgage limit, identical to the provisions as previously repoited to you in S. 7t2.

(These two things are generally desired by the building industry)

(3) Further increases Title II insurance authorizations by l% billion dollars and steps up the mortgage limits of Section 203 (b) (2) (D) loans to $6,650, and provides 95% insurance. An additional $950 may be added for each additional bedroom.

(4) Inserts a rlew Section 213 of the National Housing Act to take the place of old Section 207. The new Section would provide 100%,40 year,4/o interest loans not to exceed $9,000 per family dwelling for cooperative housing mortgage insurance.

(5) Extends secondary mortgage market provisions by exempting G.I. guaranteed loans and loans to cooperatives, rental housing loans and loans on lower-priced housing from restrictions which provided that only 50 percent of the eligible loans may be purchased from any one purchaser.

(6) Other provisions of incidental concern.

Title ll-Disposal of Lanham Act temporaries and permanents under conditions which would allow transfer of. 120 projects to the local communities for low rent housing projects. (32,000 units will become Government owned.)

Title III-Direct long-term loans for rental housing amount' ing to $1 billion for cooperatiqe housing and other nonprofit corporations, the mortgages to run for 60 years at 3 percent. (The start of direct lending by Government)

Title IV-Guarantees on G.L mortgages are increased from 50 to 60 percent, provided that the aggregate amount of the loan does not exceed $7,500. The present maximum is $4,000. (Repeals Section 505 vs1....s loan provision of Servicemen's Readjustment Act)

Title V-I-oans to educational institutions to finance dor= mitory and family dwelling housing accommodations, with a maximum maturity of 40 years and an interest rate of 27/2petcent. (300 million more of direct Government lending)

This is another omnibus bill, containing a combination of some features desired generally by the construction industry and other such as the initial proposal of the Federal Government to directly finance house and apartment construction. It is quite obvious that this bill will be strongly opposed by all the financial institutions and that a majority of its provisions simply go further toward placing the government in the home building business.

The direct lending provisions of this legislation are, of course, a result of the trend of which we have all been aware; namely, as long as the government guarantees mortgages, provides secondary markets why shouldn't it make the loans direct. This initial attempt at direct lending can of course spread and spread until the Government control of housing, construction and related industries, merchandising and marketing practices are complete.

There will be no hearings before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee; however, there will probably be hearings before the House Committee on Banking and Currency, but no schedule has been set.

New Air Dog Control System Installed At Long-Bell's Longview Mill

valve inefficient. The poppet type may be ground for a perfect seat if becoming worn.

The piping rvas another innovation that Slaughter placed in the new control system. Instead of using the 16 wroughr iron pipes cf I inch size, lie put eight /s inch copper tubes in their place. The copper'tubing was not rigid and it took the constant vibration much easier. The wrought iroir pipe was found to be susceptible to the vibration and leaks occurred frequently at lhe threading.

One valve lvas assembled and placed on a trial run on one of the carriages in the Long-Bell east sawmill unit. The.valve gave a satisfactory performance, and with a few of the weak spots corrected ran for weeks without maintenance.

Proving the new type of control successful, he was asked by H. M. Cone, chief steem engineer, to build a complete control panel for the long side carriage in the west sawmill of the Long-Bell plant in Longview. After the assembly r,r'as completed and installed, all eyes of the millmen were fastened on the new contlol.

Reuben Slcughter, Long-Bell pipe fitter lor 30 yecrs, iE shown ct lhe new type crir dog control he perlecte&

Longview, Wash.-Harnessed compressed air in a maze of pipes is the heart of nlany sawmills, and the maintenance of the compressed air systems is a big job in any man's sawmill.

Reuben Slaughter, pipe fitter for The Long-Bell Lumber Company, in Longview, has been charged with the air maintenance of the carriages in the large Longview mill, The air dog control systern was a headache and Slaughter decided to do something about it.

He had found, througir years of experience, that the wrought iron pipes connecting the dogs on the carriages and the controls were constantly breaking and giving a faulty performance. He also learned that the control valves were a frequent source of trouble.

Putting his 30 years of experience to work on the task along with his mechanical skill, Slaughter selected a filer and Stowell valve of the poppet type. This valve is similar to the valve used in automobile engines in that it employs the metal against metal to hold back the pressure. An older type plug valve was used previously to hold the 90 pounds of air pressure ancl the least bit of wear made the

Days grew into weeks a.rrd weeks into months with the control working far better than the old type. Maintenancc' rvas carefully checked anc! found the new type Slaughter control reduced the maintenance approximately 90 per cent.

Both carriages in the West unit at Long-Bell are nov' equipped with the controls and more are planned on othet carriages in the mill at future dates.
