Lots of discussion in Washington on the subject of ethics, the aftermath of the RFC and other scandals. U.S. Senator Paul Douglas has suggested a "commission on ethics in the federal government," thus adding to the illwill the President has for him, though he is a Democrat. But Secretary of Commerce Sawyer has wisely condemned the idea, saying that a man who means to do right doesn't need a book on ethics, and a man who means to do wrong will pay no heed to one.
Much comment in the newspapers throughout the land. Backed up with a cartoon on "Low Government morals," the old Democratic Houston (Texas) Post, speaks thusly on the subject through Editor Ed Kilman: "As Mr. Sawyer says, those most likely to do the unethical thing will be least influenced by the fact that the code says he shouldn't. There is an unwritten law of ethics. known to all adults above the moron level, and when investigating'committees and shocked public opinion have reminded violators of their transgressions, the latter have met their rebukes with defiant retorts, such as 'asinine,' 'silly,' 'red herring,' and other expressions of contempt,brazenly denying the charges and refusing to take steps to correct the unethical practices." Old Democratic editors throughout the Sunny South have followed this type of criticism in innumerable editorials.
Editor Kilman also had ""rri. tia.r"sting remarks to make on a subject that I screamed like a panther about in my last Vagabond Editorials; namely "billions," loosely mentioned and still more loosely thrown to the winds. Give ear to his refrain: "When Henry Wallace and some of our more advanced thinkers a few years back talked of spending $50 Billion to make the world free and happy, the sound of loud, horse-like laughter echoed through the land. But as post-war foreign aid expenditures mount steadily toward the $50 Billion mark, and Secretary Acheson blandly speaks of another proposed chunk of $8.5 Billion as being just the first installment of a $25 Billion three-year program of global assistance which the administration plans, there comes to mind that old line-'Who's loony now?, ***
(Continues Kilman): "Having spent the 925 Billion, according to Mr. Acheson, we can relax. It is the price, he said, that we must pay to counter Soviet Russia's designs. There wili, of course, be a slight additional charge. While the sum mentioned will be sufficient to provide our potential allies with 'original equipment,' something in the way
of 'Maintenance help'will still be in order. But the amount will be comparatively small? Is there any assurance that tension will be eased, as Mr. Acheson says it will, when the $25 Billion is exhausted? It would be comforting to know. A reference to the record of our efforts to achieve world peace and security by lavish spending overseas, hewever, is not too encouraging. For instance, we gave over $40 Billions to our war-time associates, including over $10 Billion to Russia. It was part of the price of victory. Then, first Russia and next China turned against us.
(Kilman concludes)' "Marshall Plan expenditures, it was supposed, would be enough to ensure peace. They didn't. And, according to Pres. Tfuman and his advisers, our danger is greater than it ever was before. What basis, then, is there for the assumption that our troubles will be over if Congress appropriates and the administration gives our foieign friends another $25 Billion?"
As my friend Kilman asks, what basis have we for even hoping that our efforts to buy security with billions will ever succeed? So far we have spent uncounted billions to buy the world's friendship, and we have no friends. ***
Wonder of wonders ! Old Senator Tom Connally, of Texas, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who has been caustically criticized in copious fashion for his continual me-toism with regard to the Administration's spending policies, startled the nation the other day when he turned loose a veritable blast against the permanence of certain temporary spending agencies. fn wrathful mood the long-haired Senator thundered out a protest against trying to "cover the earth" with money squeezed out of the pockets of American taxpayers. Something tells me the old boy has finally started listening to what the folks back home are saying. Coming on the heels of Senator Taft's warning against the danger of "undertakings beyond our capacity," Connally's blast may be pointing to a new tide in Washiagton waters. All right, folks, who'll be the next patriot to speak out in favor of Americdn taxpayers? All good volunteers*are appreciated.

nation, including banks, railroads, electric power systems, mines, steel plants, etc., and nour has its thumb on the jugular vein of the nation,s economy. The government never said "please" or ..by your leave" to lhe private owners of the industries. Now it looks like chickens coming home to roost when the government of fran seizes and insists on nationalizing the oil industry of that country, which is mostly British in ownership.
I shall not attempt to discuss this matter politically, because I don't know a blame thing about it; which probably puts me in a class with most of those who ARE discussing it. When Britain seized the properties of her own people, the United States government did nothing about it. When fran takes over the oil industry in that country, we stick our noses in. Being only a country boy trying to get along, I fail to see the difierence between the two. But I do think that some facts concerning the size and character of the Iranian oil industry are of interest to all thinking Americans, so here's what I gather on that subject from much recent reading:
ing the very explosive Iranian oil industry. Vitally interested in the Iranian oil situation are the 2E0,000,000 Europeans living west of the Elbe River, who are entirely dependent for their oil supplies on the oil fields of the Middle East. As far ?sl we Americans are concerned, the two billion barrels of oil we produce annually takes good care of our present needs, although we consume most of our oil right at home, and our consumption is increasing.
The Shreveport (Louisiana) Times, tells about a new government dilemma . According to the editor, the federal government has checked over its stocks and finds it has 11,000 more office desks on hand than persons to sit at them. And he suggests that there are four solutions to this surplus-desk problem. One, tax the people for money to build a warehouse in which to store the desks. Two, burn them. Three, sell them at a nickle each and buy them back for $150 each, in the manner in which billions of dollars worth of war goods were handled. Fourth, employ more federal workers to sit at the desks. The Times Editor offers odds of two to five that horse number four is the one to bet on.
The Anglo-rranian or,
British owned and operated until recentln has oil concessions covering some 100,000 square miles, an area about twice the size of New York State. It has between 360 and 320 oil wells in opera- tion, and the daily production is reported at about 635,000 barrels of oil. About 200 oil tankers, 150 of them British and the other 50 of various nationalities, use the 1g wharves at Abadan, and load an average of 500,000 barrels of oil daily. An oil pipeline from Abadan to Tartous, Syria, would have made the shipment of oil from this area very simple and saved the tankers some 7,000 miles of travel between the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean, 3500 miles each way. But fran would not permit the building of the pipe_ line,.so the tankers are indispensable to her. The oil reserves of the Middle East are estimated at about 33,000,000,000 barrels. The British population in Iran identified with the oil industry numbeied about 4,000 at the time this trouble started. Those are the physical facts concern_

The story of how Mahogany Importing Company of Los Angeles, California, has developed a large distribution of an economical builder's item which at first blush would seem to be within the reach of only the very wealthy home owner, is, we believe, worth relating.
The first application of Philippine Mahogany Bevel Siding to a home from material manufactured by this company was made about three years ago and was so outstanding in appearance and caused such agreeable comment that exhaustive tests $'ere immediately undertaken to determine preservation of natural color, resistance to the elements, etc. It should be mentioned that one factor which gave impetus to this idea was that the Mahogany Importing Company had built sheds of Philippine Mahogany at their Long Beach plant some 20 years ago, and inspection reveals that the lumber employed in these buildings is still in an excellent state of preservation. Paint companies were encouraged to experiment with various finishinq agents of all kinds, and after subjection to their accelerated weathering tests, all reported that the natural color and beautiful grain of Philippine Nlahogany could be well preserved.
Economical manufacture was the next problem and this was effected in using a grade of lumber that, while entirely sound, nevertheless admitted small tight pin knots, burls,
etc.. but did not admit of unsound wood, open defects or any other imperfections which would make the board unfit for the use for which it rvas intended.
Two objectives were accomplished, actually these small characteristics which were admitted in the board gave a distinctive beauty to the product itself, and at the same time this allowed the use of material not generally in the price class of what is commonly termed, "export grade."
General distribution was 'started about two years ago, and the Mahogany Importing Company immediately concentrated their efforts in placing this material in all sections of the United States in order to note the afiects of climatic change caused by heat, cold, wind, rain, humidity, etc. As these beautiful homes wer.e constructed, progress u'as watched most carefully and contractors and home owners were_asked to keep them informed of the durability and general appearance of Philippine Mahogany Bevel Siding.
It can be stated as a fact that results were entirely satisfactory, and today very l4rge quantities of Philippine Mahogany Bevel Siding are being used in all parts of the United States, at a price entirely i,r,'ithin the reach of modest home or,vners and competitive r,'l'ith other forms of siding material.

While f am a sucker for any kind of a laugh, I believe I get the deepest bellow from kid stuff. Many years ago I told in this space about the six year old girl who had been bad, and for punishment was sent to bed early and forbidden to see the bright and sparkling dinner party her parents were having.
Right in the midst of the dinner a little blonde, curly head was seen sticking through the dinning room door, and as the guests all turned to see, she remarked most distinctly:
"Everbody in this room,
me, is stinkers."
I thought of that the other day when I read in Bob

He told how his own little boy met another little boy, and they sized each other up for several minutes. Then the other little boy said to Considine's little boy:
"My father is president of a big corporation and he is worth more than a million dollars."
And, without a moment's hesitation, Considine's little boy said:
"Shucks ! That ain't nuthin'! My father drinks a quart of whisky every day !"

Builders should have no trouble constructing single family homes of medium size under the new regulation in which the National Production Authority will timit the amount of critical metals that can be used, Clyde A. Fulton, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealer Association, stated.
"However, it will be necessary to use lumber in place of structtrral steel to avoid exceeding the allowance," Mr. Fultbn said.
"Since NPA reportedly does not intend to issue permits or material allotments for any large number of single family homes which would utilize more than the specified amounts of steel, copper, and aluminum. a very high percentage of the homes started in the next few months will have to be built with a minimum of all of the controlled materials.
"This means houses will have to be compact in shape and that plumbing fixturbs will have to be concentrated as much as possible in one part of the l-rouse, in order to require a minimum of pipe.
"Metals will have to be eliminated everywhere, except where there is no substitute, if the builder is to complete a horne without exceeding the minimums.
"There need be no sacrifice of quality in home construction during the time the new ruling remains in effect, but most builders rvill have to change their plans drastically and exercise considerable ingenuity."

In a new move to meet growing military requirements for plywood, the National Production Authority has ordered softwood plywood manufacturers to set aside up to 30 percent of their production. for DO rated orders. The new set-aside order will affect September production and provides that:
1. Manufacturers increase their reserve to supply defense rated business from the present 20 per cent to 25 per cent during September and October.
2. Manufacturers boost this set-aside to 30 per cent October 31st and thereafter.
3. A higher proportion of exterior plywood with waterproof bond be held for rated orders than the overall set-aside would indicate.
Actuaily, the order provides that individual manufacturers of exterior panels-used in the defense effort for auxiliary surface craft, barracks, field buildings and other outdoor rlsesfurnish 50 per cent of their reserve in such panels.
Plywood for concrete forms and other top grades of interior type panels for indoor applications are affected by a sirnilar 40 per cent provision applying to those manufacturers who do not have facilities for making exterior plywood.
Commenting on the set-aside, O. Harry Schrader, Jr., managing director of Douglas Fir Plywood Association at Tacoma, Wash., explained that only about one-third of the industry's overall production is in exterior.
"Because of this," said Schrader, "the defense effort will be assured of more than 30 per cent of the plywood-with waterproof bond. Actually, we estimate that about 38 per cent of exterior plywood and 27 per cent of interior plywood must be reserved for DO rated orders under the new set-aside after October."
Schrader emphasized, however, that the overall set-aside would take only 30 per cent of total softwood plywood production leaving 70 per cent, of course, free from regulation and available to normal civilian distribution and retail channels for homes, farm buildings and other building ancl industrial Llses.
Currently, clirect and indirect military demand is taking rnore than 20 per cent of the softwood plywood under an NpA directive providing for a 20 per cent set-aside issued about two months ago. This is in sharp contrast with the less than one
per cent of softwood or "construction" plywood consurned by the military prior to Korea.
The west coast plywood industry affected by the order produces two-thirds of the nation's plywood and nearly all plywood used in construction. Output today is averaging more than 50,000,000 feet a week, more than twice as much as at the end of World War II.
The new set-aside, known as NPA-M63 Amended, requires plywood manufacturers to hold the reserve for defense business up to 30 days in advance of the month of production. Any portion of the reserve (for DO orders) that has not been committed prior to 30 days before production may be sold to the regular trade in addition to plywood which is not subject to regulation.
The order contains a new provision that unless specifically directed by NPA, a manufacturer will not be required to accept DO rated orders for delivery more than 90 days later than receipt of the order.
Softwood plywood affected by the order includes Douglas fir, western hemlock, ponderosa and Idaho white pine, noble fir, white fir and redwood. These are the softwood plywoods produced under U. S. Commercial Standards CS45-48 (Douglas fir plyu'ood), CSl22-49 (other Western softwood plywood) and CS157-49 (pine plywood).
Washington, Aug. 3.-The National Production Authority today banned the start of all new construction until October 1 unless the projects use only minor quantities of steel, copper and aluminum.
Most residences may go ahead, as well as small stores and even some amusement places-hitherto prohibited.
But the order will "freeze temporarily the start of new factories, office buildings, schools, l-rospitals and public buildings.
Builders vr'hose projects exceed 'the permitted limits may apply for metal, to be delivered after October 1, under NpA's allocation s.vstem, known as the controlled materials plan or "CMP." Rut they may not get it.

Tbe "Certigrade Home," a model of which wae presnted by Senator Homer T. Bone to tbe Senate of tbe United State ro an erample of tbe smallhome building program sponrcred and encouraged by tbe Federal Houing Administration. Tbe "Certigrade Home" was designed by National Plan Service and was dedicated to tbe lumber dealers of America by the National Retail Lumber Dealere Awiation, whose dirrctors and ofrcials are sbowu in the pbotograph above.
FrmpnN yEARs aco, the house pictured above was hailed nationally as the first to receive a loan insured by a new government agency known as the Federal Housing Administration. Many of the nation's prominent building officials visited the site of the all-shingle "Certigrade llome" in Arlington, Virginia, for the dedication ceremonies. Probably none ofthem could have foreseen that their gathering was the kick-offfor the world's greatest building boom. Since that day, the F. H. A. has insured loans in excess of ten billion dollars for small lwme conslruction alone, in addition to an almost incalculable amount for multiple family dwelling construction.
Cedar shingles on the roof and walls are just as insulative, just as beautifi.rl as they were when the house was dedicated as F. H. A. Loan Number 1.
Last month, without any "dressing uP," we had a photographer visit the Certigrade Home to take the picture at the left. Notice that the roof and walls of "Certigrades" are just as attractive today as they were fifteen years ago. A remarkable testimonial to the long years of service you and your customers can expect from cedar shingles and a strong recommendation to those who have the responsibility of selecting materials for government housing projects.

No other redwood can compare with the high uniform quality of Palco Redwood. Quality control starts at the headrig and carries right through each step in the mill and manufacturing process. Logs are selectively cut to secure the finest texture and grain. Scientific air drying is followed by carofully regulated kiln seasoning. Mechanized handling eliminates mars, scars and blemishes. Complete and thorough inspection and grading by experienced experts, af.ter running to pattern, eliminates flaws and imperfections-and insures more uniformly even grade. This unequalled eficiency assures premium quality-at no premium in price. There's no better buy-no better quality than Palco Redwood, the best of the best.

"f have just received the July 15 issue of your California Lumber Merchant, and noted a little 'squib' about our company on page 36. I have called this a'squib' for the reason that you have moved us up to Fresno, and in that case I have used the word properly, for we are really in Bakersfield, at the corner of 14th and L.
"f just wanted to get you straight on this as I know you have intended to stop in, and this will get you the correct address for your future trips.
"The California Lumber Merchant is always read from cover to cover by everyone in our organization, and you just can't get away with anything."

Chicago, Aug. 4-Output of northern hard maple and birch flooring for the first half of 1951 totaled 34,130,000 f.eet,23.4/o over the 1950 half, according to L. M. Clady, secretary-manager of the Maple Flooring Nlanufacturers Association.
Clady said manufacturers in the northern producing regions are hopeful that their production record of the past six months will be matched during the last half of the year. This would enable the mannfacturers to accelerate delivery on their backlog of unfilled orders, he said.
"stocks for the industry now total only 5,720,000 feet, down 17.5% frorn June 30, 1950, while current unfilled orders of 17,360,000 feet reflect an increase of 39.2/o over the first half of last year," Clady explained.

Mrs. frene O'Connor, Amanda Park, Washington, has been awarded a check for $50 by the Portland Shingle Company for her suggestions submitted in the company's first monthly "Idea" contest, according to Alfred H. Schmidt, president of the firm.
The Portland Shingle Company of Portland, Oregon, is awarding a $50 check each month to the individual submitting the most u'orth-while suggestion for improving manufacturing methods and working conditions within the company, marketing, advertising, or utilization of it products, or developing new uses for Western red cedar and rvaste products resulting from manufacture of cedar shingles and shakes. Suggestions are r,velcomed from company employees, rvholesalers, dealers and users of Portland Shingle Company products, according to Schmidt.
I\{rs. O'Connor, rvife of one of tl-re company's employees at their Quinault Shingle Company mill, suggested greater use of "before and after" pictures on use of shingles and shakes in the company's own house organ, The Portland Shingle News. Judges lvho selected the winning entry for the first week were Jack lirlgecumbe, sales manager for Portland Shingle Company; Marion Billings, account exectuive for Alport & O'Rourke who handles the company's advertising; and Ralph Parker, mill superintendent at the Quinault Shingle Company.
Each contest runs from the fifteenth of one month to the fifteenth of the next, and winners are first announced in the company's o'il'n house organ. Five suggestions are selected from entries submitted, a rvinner is named, and the other four suggestions are re-entered automatically in the next month's cornpetition. Schmidt has indicated that numerous rvorth-rn'hile entries are being received from all parts of the country for consideration.
A new scaffolding plarrk that is lighter, stronger and far steadier than conventional wood planks is now available to contractors, painters and manufacturers. Constructed of Douglas fir plywood with aluminum framing members, the new Featherweight plank is being produced by the Stinson Manufacturing Co., Spokane, \\rash.
Comparecl to a 16-foot long 2xI2 wood plank, whiclr rveighs about 70 pounds, a 16-foot long Featherweight plank weighs but 35 pounds. Yet deflection or bending of the plywood plank under a 300 pound dead center load is less than t'ivo inches. Under the same lveight, a wood plarrk
(Continued on Page 40)
(Continued from Page 38) deflects at least six inches. Therefore, while the F-eatherweight plank weighs only half as much as a 2 x 12 plank, it is over three times as rigid. Weights for different sizes are in the same ratio.
Key to the plank's unusually high strengtl-r-rveight raticr is its construction which perrnits the light, strong plywood top and bottom to act as integral structural mernbers as well as surfacing material. fn effect, the plywood top and bottom are the chords .of a three web box beam with the aluminum channels acting as the webs. The plank is built by riveting fu-inch-thick Exterior type Douglas fir plywood to either side of the three aluminum channels which run the length of the plank on both sides and in the center of the one foot wide plank. Because the middle of the plank gets the greatest amount of strain, the plywood plank tapers toward the ends. Standard lengths are l5'-9", 79'-6" and 23'-6n, all IZ' wide.
According to T. G. Stinson, inventor of the plank and head of the company which bears his name, the new scaffolding plank is used in the same way as the conventional wood plank. Coupled with increased safety, the light weight and all-around steadiness of the plywood plank also increases worker efficiency by lessening fatigue and by permitting workers to concentrate on the job at hand without being disturbed by a swaying platform. Stinson points out that the light weight of the plank is, in itself, a time and labor saver because it can be handled easily by one man rather than the two or more required to carry con-
ventional scaffolding planks. In addition to its light weight and great strength, the plywood plank has all the advantages of the old fashioned plank as it can be used with A-type ladders, steel staging, extension ladders, etc.
Thousands of Featherweight planks are now being used throughout the country by painting contractors, builders and airplane manufacturers who have reported increased production and worker efficiency due to the new plank. In addition, it has been approved by numerous state, iounty and city safety commissioners.

The importcnce oI pcinling redwood siding properly is one ol the points stressed in the Cclilornic Redwood Associclion's new slide film on the cpplicction oI exterior linishing mcteriqls.
San Francisco, July 31-"In Your Hands," the story of how to handle, apply, and paint redrvood sidings and trim properly, is the title of a new slide film just released by the California Redwood Association.
Produced by Gene K. Walker Productions of San Francisco, this 35 millimeter sound slide filn-r is in color. It is designed for use by retail lumber dealers, contractors, and carpenters and painters on the job-in rvhose hands rests the final result.
"In Your Ifands" explains that redrvood siding should be stored under cover in the same manner as doors and window frames, and that care should be taken to avoid marring and to keep the siding dry.
Horv to apply the prime coat, how to fit the corners, ho$'to nail the various types of sidings. ar-rd how to apply sidings properlv to keep out moisture are described and illustrated in the film. Red.n'ood gutters and drip caps are also il lustrated.
The film places much emphasis on the importance of using the correct size and type of nail for each particular job. Proper placement and the number of nails to be used r,vith the various types of sidings are also illustrated.

Water is the most abundant of created commodities. ft is older than the human race. It is known to the lingo of every land. It has followed the adventurous footsteps of man around the world.
It is indestructible. Not since the spirit moved on the face of the waters and they were gathered into the seas has there been one drop lost. From the sea all rivers come, and into the Sea all rivers run. The liquid that I now hold in my hand has lashed the Land of the Pharaohs; may have gliste4ed on the golden oars of Cleopatra's courtly canoe as she hastened to meet and greet her lord and lover; or may have splashed in the baptismal waters of the Savior of Man.
God poured water from the heavens to scour the earth of the sinful souls of men; and then by refracted and reflected beauty He arched the storm-swept sky with the resplendent rainbow as a guarantee that never again would Ffe use water as a destroyer, but at all times as a preserver of the human race.
From the day when Moses smote the rock, and water gushed forth to quench the thirst of the children of Israel, it has been the one commodity that has made all the human race akin. The rich and the poor, the loved and the forsaken, the learned and the ignorant, the aristocratic and the democratic, meet at a common level at the water fountain.
It is the only element on earth found in the hovel of the p€asant just as it is in the palace of the king. One drink of nature's beverage brewed in the white granite rocks for a million years, will prove that a cup of pure water is a more delightful and delectable draught than the best beer that ever was brought before the Bar. It is to be hoped that during all the years to come, mankind will continue to use as an emblem of sobriety and as a badge of distinction, a cup of pure water.
Brewed by God in the divine distilleries of the skies, poured by nature's bountiful hand frorn the cisterns of the clouds, purified by the percolations of the ages through the hidden sands of the earth, and brought forth by the hand of man to glisten in the sunlight, the alchemist of time, it is indeed the beverage of life.
' A cup of crystal water mirrors in every translucent drop the image of its Maker, and reflects back to its Mak-er the stamp of divinity. fn it no germs generate to steal away the brain; no demon lurks to destroy a good name; no poison pollutes it; no blood stains it; and around it there are no tears.
In the name of the guests here assembled, I select from the numerous drinks before me a glass of sparkling water,
man's best friend while in health, and immortalized by Philip Sidney as man's best gift to man at the hour of death. And I invite each of you to stand and partake of the people's most popular drink-the beverage best beloved -the elixir of life-A GLASS OF WATER.

The old fairy tale about the unwanted maid in the cinders emerging to dazzle the populace has a counterpart in the success story of West Coast hemlock. Perhaps lumber is too much a part of our environment to excite the enthusiasm of the public, but the fact remains that likes and dislikes of the buyers of lumber are strongly felt in the demand for particular species.
The increasing acceptance of West Coast hemlock by thc nation's lumber users can be traced from 1940 when thc proportion of West Coast hemlock in shipments frorn the Douglas Fir region markedly began to rise. The record of jobs well done by this wood, however, can be traced back much farther than that.
As might be expected, the first users of the wood, which is a distinct species, were the mills that rnanufactured it. Perhaps their willingness to try it resulted from a combination of the spirit of wildcatting and good forestry practice.
West Coast hemlock grows in the forest with Douglas fir, usually in an even-aged stand so that both species mature at the same time. Previously, because there was no market for it, the hemlock had been left in the forest. When the Douglas fir was cut and hemlock was left, the fir seeds that were in the ground or fell from seed trees did not grow
'n'ei1 because they required full sunshine. Hemlock seedlings, however, thrived in shade and it soon appeared as though our forests would become pure stands of the then unwanted hemlock.
The West Coast hemlock-fir forests havc to be clear cut in order to get Douglas fir trees to reseed themselves. It would have been wasteful to leave the cut hemlock logs in the forests. With an abundant raw material and no market. the mills of the Douglas fir region tried the West Coast hemlock lumber, found it entirely acceptable, and began a patient campaign to show the users how good West Coast hemlock was and then sell it to thenr.
In 19CO one mill in Tacoma used West Coast hemlock siding on its of;fice building. In the past fifty years the building has had only three coats of paint, and the siding is still sound and holding the paint firmly.
A retail lumber shed with West Coast hemlock joists was built in 1904 at Enumclaw, Washington. The building rvas over ground that held standing water nine months of the year. The joists are still sound after forty-six years. West Coast hemlock unpainted siding was put on this building abott 7924. After twenty-seven years this siding is still straight, sound and smooth, even without paint.
In 1906 a Tacoma, Washington church rvas sided rvith \A/est Coast hemlock bevel siding and for twenty-two years it had only two or three coats of paint.
In 1928 it was moved seventeen blocks and used five years for a recreational hall. In 1933 the former church was torn dor,vn and the siding salvaged and reused on two otherwise new homes. This West Coast hemlock sid_ ing rvas still in excellent condition after trventv-seven vears of use and reuse.
The story of the durability and wearing qualities cf West Coast hemlock was heard early in Minnesota. Trventy_five,
years ago a Morgan, Minnesota retail lumber dealer put a West Coast hemlock second'floor in a new home he was building. This home today is in a neu' location and still in use by his family. The West Coast hemlock floor remains attractive and in good condition.
Twenty-five years ago a midwest lumber dealer was willing to try out West Coast hemlock flooring in the floor of his own store. He put the flooring down at the entrance of his store where it got maximum wear. The original section of flooring is still there and looking as good or bet.ter than the flooring of other woods installed in less used parts of the store.
Recent examples of confidence in the superior qualities oI West Coast hemlock are led by Uncle Sam's acceptance 'of this wood as an alternate for Douglas fir during World War II days. The two species were harvested, manufactured, shipped and used intermixed. Despite a long-standing inclination to separate species, this practice of buying and selling Douglas fir and/or West Coast hemlock continues.
A spot survey of construction projects in all parts of the country in recent months disclosed that West Coast hemlock is being used inter'changeably n'ith Douglas fir and giving complete satisfaction.
The wood wears evenly because of the relative absence of contrast between springwood and summerwood. Its uniform light color, soft texture, lack of pitch, resistance to splitting, and ability to hold finishes, explain whv West Coast hemlock has done so well.
West Coast hemlock will do a good job in virtually any type of construction where Douglas fir and Southern yellow pine are used. While basic stress values for West Coast hernlock are somewhat less than the values of these woods, the difference becomes insignificant because there are fewer and smaller knots in comparable grades of hemlock.
West Coast hemlock becomes tasteless and odorless soon after leaving the mill headrig. Even when wet again after once being dry, the wood has no trace of its original identifying odor. It has been found suitable for use as food containers and even butter tubs. In this regard, it is relatively impermeable to liquids and has no coloring or gums to dis,color or contaminate.
Ability to glue easily with diifferent kinds of glue puts this wood in the preferred list for glued up containers and other products. Its light weight makes this wood additionally desirable.
West Coast hemlock combines the qualities of strength, beauty, ease of rvorking and light weight. Whether used in a home, on the farm, or for shipping and food containers, railroad cars, ladders, furniture, veneer, lath and even caskets. West Coast hemlock is outstanding.
The "rveed" tree of the Douglas fir region of a decade ago has more than justified the faith of the first pioneers in its manufacture and promotion. Without any hocus pocus or even a good fairy, West Coast hemlock has taken its place in the sun.

In ansrver to thousands of requests to see modern loggers in action, Art Baker's "You Asked For It" network television shorv featured two top timber fallers and buckers from the Douglas Fir region of Oregon.
Paul Towsley and Peter Stennsen of the.C. D. Johnson Lumber Corporation, Toledo, Oregon, exhibited their skill with power saws and axes on the sound stage of station KTTV, Hollywood, on August 9. Also included as a part of their spot was a film of these men actually cutting timber on C. D. Johnson's logging operation along the Oregon coast range. -
Peter and Paul have become almost legendary in the Pacific Northwest because of their phenomenal cutting record. Last year this team of fallers cut over 18 million feet of timber, enough for 1,800 average sized homes. Many tirnes their production reaches 20,000 feet per hour, enough for two average sized homes.
"You Asked For It," reviewed in the |ulv 23 issue of Time, is kinescoped for later release elsewhere in the country and may be seen in the follorving cities on these dates :
Station KPIX, San Francisco, August 18; Station KING, Seattle, August 23; Station KSL, Salt Lake City, August 24.
The annual convention of the National Hardwood I-umber Association will be held at the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, September 24-27, 1951.

West of the Cascades there are t\\ro distinct classes of Douglas fir sawmills. One kind is commonly. callecl the "cargo" or export mill found on tidewater of Puget Souncl, Gray's and Willapa Harbors, the Columbia River and the bays of the- Oregon Coast and northcrn California. The other type of Douglas fir sawnrill is the inland operation or "raiI" mill which, because weight is such an iniportant factor, dries and finishes a much greater proportion of its product.
