'Tlcrvesting Timber Crops"

"Harvesting Timber Crops" is a book covering all phases of harvesting timber, from preliminary considerations involved in planning and preparing for the actual harvesting steps, to cost controls and records. The final chapter, which is devoted to regional harvesting practices, was prepared by seven contributors, each exceptionally well qualified in his region.

The subject of timber harvesting is treated as an integral part of forestry, rather than as an independent pro,cedure. The treatment is not limited to logging, but covers the harvesting of all important forest products such as salv logs, pulpwood, poles, ties, and veneer blocks. Emphasis is placed on how operations should be performed for greatest economy consistent with good practices. The book rs well illustrated.

McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc., 330 West 42nd Street, Ner,v York 18, N. Y., is the publisher. The price of the book is $s.00.

Leonard L. Salasky, secretary-treasurer, David Ostin Moulding Corporation, Sacramento, recently left by plane for Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he will visit his family. On his return, Mr. Salasky will call on the trade in the Southern states.

Washington The first of a new series of Specification Sheets for architects, engineers and builders covering the application of Trip-L-Grip framing anchors at specific points in light wood frame construction has just been released by the Timber E,ngrneering Company, Washington, D. C.

The initial sheet illustrai:es the application of the anchors in attaching joists to headers and headers to trimers. It identifies the anchor mos: suitable for each location and shows how it should be installed.

Subsequent Specification Sheets, each covering another framing point, will be reieased each month. The series will ,consist of six separate sheets. Next in order of release are sheets illustrating the use of anchors in tying down rafters to walls, framing rough openings and tying roof rafters or purlins to roof trusses or beams.

Because they eliminate ledger strips, notching and toe nailing, and cost less than conventional hangers, the ne'r,r' anchors are finding rapidly increasing favor with designerr and builders. Their distril,ution is already national. They are stocked by 250 retail lumber merchants and are available through hundreds more.

Lcwrence Ottinger on Europecrn Trip

Lawrence Ottinger, president, United States Plywood Corporation, sailed for Europe August 5 on the Queen Elizabeth to make a study of foreign plywood and lumber facilities. He will visit London, Paris and other European capitals.

"We have large interests in French Equatorial Africa and the Belgian Congo," Mr. Ottinger said. "We are nol building a veneer mill at Lemba, Belgian Congo, in association with Societe Forestiere et Agricole du Mayumbe, to cut veneers from Korina and other logs which we have been importing for the past two years. We also have an interest in the world's la.rgest hardwood plywood mill now being constructed in Gabon province, French Equatorial Africa."

Mr. Ottinger added that his company's foreign activrties might be expanded, "if circumstances warrant."
