NHLA Rules Committee \(/eishs Members' Suggestions

The Inspeetion Rules Committee of the National Hardr.vood Lumber Association, in its annual meeting held in Chicago June 19-20, considered one of the largest batch of suggestions for rules changes that has been presented to the group in recent years. The 25-man committee under the chairmanship of T. M. Millett spent two days in going over the proposals, adopting several of considerable significance to the hardrvood industry, modifying others now in effect and either tabling for further study or discarding numerous other suggestions as being unworkable.

Salient changes were approved in the rules affecting vehicle lumber, select car stock, common dimension, sound square edge and common timbers and industrial blocking. In these grades the specifications pertaining to wane, ring shake and boxed heart were more clearly spelled out and changed to permit a rvider use application from the stock available.

An entirely new grade in the heavier members was agreed rlpon to be termed military or commercial timbers and planking. This nerv grade is a combination of select car stock, common dimension and sound square edge grades.

In the measuring of miscut lumber, a change rvas adopted rvhich will permit taking a greater advantage of the value of the board than before. This change came through extended studies of the problem by the director and students of the l\fcClure Inspection Training School. Additional clarifications were made in the rules pertaining to saps poplar, aromatic red cedar, sap hard maple and No. 1 comrnon walnut.

These changes and others recommended by the committee rvill be presented in detail to the membership of the Associ:ition for final approval at its annual convention next September.

Television Show Sponsored bv California Construction Activity in July 1952

Redwood Association August 17

Expenditures for new construction in July reached the record total of almost $3.1 billion. according to preliminary estimates .of the Building Materials Division, U. S. Department of Commerce, and the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The record dollar volume of work put in place indicated that the steel dispute had little adverse effect on the tempo of on-site operations during the month. Available evidence makes it appear that full effects of the shutdown will not be felt until later months.

The July figure topped the June level by 3 per cent and that of July a year ago by 7 per cent. Seasonal advances in all major categories brought the private construction total to nearly $2 billion. Half the private total consisted of outlays for new residential building- which were up 4 per'cent from last July. In the public sector, defense construction remained at high levels. Highway construction, however, rose less than usual for this time of year because of small and spotty cutbacks in activity due to scarce supplies of steel. Even so, the dollar volume of highway worlr was 12 per cent above the July 1951 figure. Total public expenditures for netv construction amounted to $1.1 billion in July 1952.

San Francisco, Aug. 1-A teievision show series entitled "Careers in California" .ivill begin at 1 :30 P.M. August 17 on KRON-TV. Thirteen different industries will participate in the programs, u'ith the specific purpose of acquainting high school and college students with job opportunities rn the various fields represented.

The first show, sponsored by the California Rcdu'ood Association, will feature a film taken rvhen the four students who will appear on the program visited the Noyo and Joy Woods Tree Farms. John R. Freeman, timlter engineer of the CRA, and Robert Grundman, forester for IJnion Lumber Company, pointed out interesting features of forestry and tree farm operations.

A panel discussion and questions by the students rvill follow the film showing. Paul Speegle will moderate, and State Forester Dewitt Nelson and A. L. Merrill, Chief Forester for tlie lfammond Lumber Company, will answer their questions.

Students appearing on the program are Peter Worden of Santa Rosa Junior College, Robert H. Thompson of Fort Bragg High School, Roy Vanden Heuvel of Menlo Junior College and Charles Freitas of Laney School, Oakland.

Chcnge in Office

Eells-Walker Plywood and Door Co., T-os Anseles, announces that Mrs. Louise Yates is replacing Mrs. Millie Aughey in their office. Mrs. Aughey has gone to Boston to be with her husband, rvho has been' transferred there. i\{rs. Yates, who has a wide acquaintanceship among lumber people in Southern California, was formerly with Angelus-Simmons Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

Mr. John Eells did not take a trip to Alaska.

Nerv construction expenditures for the frrst 7 months of this year, estimated at $18 billion, were about 5 per cent above the amount for the same period of 1951. A slightlv lower volume of private outlays was more than offset by a 24-per cent increase in the level of public exlrenditures. Nevertheless, the 1952 total for private construction was twice as great as thatfor public-$12 billion, as against $6 billion.

Cornpared with a year ago, expenditures in the JanuaryJuly period were down by 6 per cent for private residential construction and by o','er a third for commercial building, despite reccnt increases. But factory building, even though important phases of industrial expansion have been completed, and privately financed public utilities, showed substantial gains over the year.

Federal spending for military. atomic energy, and deIense plant facilities was the most important factor in boosting the public expenditures total for the first 7 months of this year. Highway construction, educational building, and conservation and development projects lvere somewhat above year-ago levels for the comparable months, l>ut ouilays for sewer and water facilities ll'ere off 8 per cent.

Northrzestern Ccrlilornia Lumbermen's Club Meets

Perlect Pctients

A medical student sought the advice of an old doctor as to what branch of medicine he should follow and was advised to become a skin specialist for the following reasons:

"The patients of a skin specialist do not call him in the middle of the night nor do they ask him to visit them at their homes. They don't telephone distress messages to the country club, or send telegrams to the football stadium. Finally, they never get well, and never die of skin aillnents. They are perfect patients."

A Gooly Limerick

There was a young fellow named,Mann, 'Who wrote limericks that never would scan. He said I'll admit that My meter don't fit, (fast) But I always try to get as many words in the last line(slow) As I can.

No Quitter

Nothing will take the plhce of the determination of the youngster with the shiny new pair bf skates. Every effort to skate resulted in a hard fall, and being slow to learn he was paying a heavy price in bruises to body and pride. Sy-pathetic by-standers watched the struggle, and finally one of them said in kindly fashion:

"Buddy, you're getting hurt. Why don't you quit for a while, and rest?"

Said the boy, indignantly, "I didn't buy these skates to guit with. I bought 'em to learn with."

Goose crnd Gcnder

Boss: "When you phoned my wife and told her that I would be detained at the office and would not be home until late, what did she say?

Steno: "She said, 'Can I depend on that?"'

Serious

Boss: "When will your father's leg be well enough so he can come to work?"

Son: "It will be a long time, I guess."

Boss: "Why?"

Son: "Because compensation has set in."

Hcppiness cnd Thingrs

Happiness is as much a matter of being able to do without things as it is of having things. It is important to recognize this fact because life is so constituted that we will be miserable much of the time if our happiness is contingent on having things to make us happy, even if we are blessed materially far above the average. Most of us are reasonably resigned to not having the things we would like to have, but we need to go farther. We must manage to be happy without these things as we feel sure we would be with them.-Clipt.

Flovters of Speech

(Texas has always been famous for the eloquence of many of its sons. Here is a fine sample. About seventy years ago one Texas legislator was introducing a speaker to his fellows in the House of Representatives, and used the following eloquent phrases:)

He is a man upon whom nature has lavishly expended her resources. In body he is symmetrical and knightly, at once attracting the attention of those who admire a man's form and courteous bearing. In mind he is grander than in body, as the jewel is superior to the casket that contains it. From this mysterious realrn he emits rays of thought as luminous as a silver sheen and as bright as a twinkling star. From out his reservoir spring ideas prophetic of a nation's destiny, fraught with philosophical counsel that may avert impending calamities.

Hls voice is as melodious as the sound of music, but may be as the terrific thunder that portends the coming storm. Such, gentlemen, is the man that f have the honor of presenting to you today, and it is astonishing that corporations, together with his personal enemies, should, like Prince John with his Norman surroundings, be seized with fear when it is known that Richard Coeur de Leon walks in their midst."

Thct WcsWhy ,

Lady to Tramp: "You would stand a lot more chance of getting work if you would shave, cut your hair, and clean yourself up."

Tramp: "Yes Mam, I found that out."

Rich Hens

They had grown suddenly rich, and had bought a fine farm, fully equipped in every way. They u'ere very snooty. A visitor said to the lady of the house one day:

"Do your hens lay many eggs?"

"Oh, they ca.n," she replied, "but in our position they don't have to."

Construction in East Trails 1951 Record Volume

New York, July 28-The first six months of. 1952 trailed the first six months of 1951's record-breaking volume in construction contracts awarded in the 37 states east of the Rockies by 12 per cent. F.

Re-lnspect Redwood Region Trce Farms

Eureka, July 22-Re-inspections of redwood region tree farms, begun in June, indicate that therc has been no lost ground since the tree farm program got its start here in February, 1950.

The California Redwood Association, certifying agency of tree farms in the redwood region, has sent stafi member J. R. Freeman and C.R.A. consulting forester Emanuel Fritz of the University of California school of forestry to re-inspect tree fann-'i certified during the past two years to make sure that owners are complying with tree farm management rules.

The two inspectors prefer to have a representative of the owner with them on their tours, as this affords an opportunity to discuss technical details and to advise on new, helpful developments.

They have discovered that working crews are becoming more and more aware of the importance of tree farms in relations to continuance of their jobs; that these crews either make or break a tree farm; that cut-over land is being left productive; and that fire consciousness has reached an all-time high.

They have found, too, that many small holders l.rave become interestecl in logging their land in such a way that it will produce a sustained yield.

Many new projects have been started by established firms and organizations as well as new ones entering the research field since the last edition of the guide was issued in 1950. The new edition has been greatly enlarged to bring this information up to date."

The guide is used by research personnel in keeping posted on research activities in their particular fields, and so avoid unnecessary and costly duplication of effort. It provides means of contact between individuals or agencies having mutual project interests. Students, teachers and writers find an extensive source of reliable material in the publication.

Price of the guide is $10.00, and a limited quantity will be printed. Copies may be ordered norv from National Lumber Manufacturers Association, 1319-18th St., N.W., Washington 6. D.C., to assure delivery.

Forest Products Exh:bit Opened in Portland

Portland, Ore.-The biggest permanent forest products exhibit in the world opened its doors in Portland in June.

And it is housed in the world's biggest log cabin. Portland's famed old "Parthenon of the Forest," the building 'rvhose principal supports are 52 gigantic Douglas fir logs, is being converted into a majestic "Gallery of Trees" feainring three-dimensional exhibits of the modern western forest products industry.

Completely renovated and dramatically lighted, the vast 2O6 by 102 foot structure was formally re-opened Sunday, June 8, as the initial event of Portland's annual week-long Ilose Festival. But the Gallery of Trees will be a permanent exhibit, open winter and summer without charge to visitors.

Originally erected in 19O5 as part of the Lewis and Clark fnternational Exposition, the vaulted "cabin" once housed exhibits of Oregon's fir, pine, hemlock, spruce and rare myrtlewood. Now, through the combined efiorts of Pacific Northwest forest products producers and Portland citizens, 'it r,vill shelter a comprehensive display of mcidern forest industry methods and products.

There is a replica of a fire lookout station perched high above the floor, commanding a sweeping view of the colossal r:olonnades and exhibits nestled among them. Visitors will mount an open stairway to a catwalk around the lookout, exactly as though they were in the forest. Inside, all the instruments and equipment used in fire spotting will be demonstrated.

Floor exhibits will display modern industrial forestry, logging ancl sawmilling. plywood making, pulp and paper, the manufacture of hardboard and insulating board, preservative treatment of wood, construction of laminated beams, woodworking, furniture making, and the production of shingles, battery separators, boxes and other forest products.

The historic old structure is an attraction just in itself, a mecca for tourists from all over the world lor 47 years. Towering 72 feet tall from the crest of a rise overlooking the busy Willamette river harbor, it is a monument to the logger's skill.

Each of the 52 huge logs standing in double column formation soars 54 feet and more to the rustic rafters above. Each is 6 feet through at the base, five feet at the top. Each was chosen for its symmetry and its strength. The building rvas designed to stand lor 25 years, but only two years ago-when the-structure was 45 years old-just nine of the colossal pillars had to be replaced.

In all, there are more than 300 of the world's largest Douglas fir logs in the fabled old building. Most of them form the walls, and in true log cabin fashion they were bitted by hand with axe and adze. Hirdly a nail was used.

Inside, the cathedralesque cabin resembles the temples of old with their fluted marble columns. Unlighted, only the twilight of ta1l timber illuminates the scene and even the acoustical quality of the deep forest has been remarkably reproduced.

In the "good old days," the building was constructed for only $30,165. Logs were put in place for about g50 each. Today the same logs would cost t'ell over $500. The com- plete construction probably could not be duplicated for less than a half-million dollars.

As the "Gallery of Trees," it wil now house a collection of exhibits representing the west's biggest economic factor -a billion-dollar business that has grown from the simple function of lumber production to a complex industry turning out a multitude of forest products. It will link the past with the present in Portland, the world's most forested city.

Adopts New Name -- Industrial Forestry Association

After struggling along for years with the longest organization name in use, Douglas fir forest landowners adopt the simple "Industrial Forestry Association" title, according to E. P. Stamm, Portland. president of the group.

Known for years as the Joint Committee on Forest Conservation of the Pacific Northwest l,oggers' Association and West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and more recently by the equally mouth-fil1ing designation, Forest Conservation Committee of Pacific Northwest Forest Industries, the .'horter name r,r,'ill be ..r'r'elcomed by press and public alike, Stamm believes.

Stamm said the Industrial Forestry Association will continue to promote forestrv on private land through the West Coast Tree Farm program, which the association founded in 1941. IFA u'ill continue to represent private forest industry before public bodies, and will carry on extensive public relations rvork to acquaint the public u,ith progress, problems and needs of long-term forestry on private lands in the Northwest.

IFA vvill vi'ork cooperatively rvith state and federal agencies in improving protection against fire, insect and disease. It rvill conduct demonstrations and give technical assistance to shovv private forest lands can be managed as a long-range crop, Stamm stated. Membership in IFA is open to all private forest landowners, including farmers, logging operators, lumber and plywood firms, pulp and paper manufacturers in u'estern Oregon. Wasshington ;rncl rrorthern California.

W. D. Hagenstein is chief forester, Stamm stated. Othcr officers are: If. V. Simpson, Portland, manager: and Harr-is E. Smith, Portland, secretary of IFA.

Stamm said IFA maintains brahch offices at Seattle and Eugene, and three district foresters, W. A. Tinney, Seattle; N. E. Bjorklund, Portland; and H. R. Glascock, at Eugene.

Floyd Hart, N{edford, serves as vice chairman of the th;-ee-state Douglas fir frtrestrv group, u'hich is governe<l bv a board of directors.

Oregon members of the board include: J S. Brandis, Dallas; It. P. Conklin, ])ortland; N. B. Gitrstina, Eugene ; Iidmund Flayes, Portland ; N.B.Hult, Junction Citl-; C. W. Inghanr, X,Iarcola: and E. \\". Pease, Medford.

Stamm urged the support of all private forest landowners and the general public in helping pustr forward to the IFA objectives of better forest protection, more efficient timber growing and harvesting, and more complete rvood utilization.

The forestry leader said the forest industries brought $1,700,000,000 in new cash into Oregon and Washington in 1951, and that the region could support such a forest economy oerpetually, if forest practices continue to improve and the woods are protected adequately from destructive forces of fire, insects and disease.
