Gratitude is the fairest flower that-sheds its perfume in the human heart. Let us be grateful in the very depths of our souls for this: they have stopped killing Ameriican boys in Korea. {.{.*

What more is there to say? There is no language that can express the debt we owe, the love we bear, for those gallant men who fought in Korea; for those who return, and for those who never shall. We can but stand in silent reverence, and in the hush and silence feel what speech can never tell.

tt<*

From this time on as long as this nation lives, men will debate that fearful "police action" in Korea, the right and wrong of it, the countless blunders and mistakes that brought about the final stalemate. With such matters our soldiers in Korea were not deeply concerned. Like the British at Balaklava:

"Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do or die."

with courage, with .;J"":, with devotion, with an exaltation and purity of purpose free from selfishness, they fought, they bled, and many died on the bleak hills of that far-away land.

i.**

They went not to enslave, but to free; not to destroy, but to save; not for conquest, but for conscience; not for themselves, but for others. With a vast capacity for not licrowing what could not be done, they made the dangerous paths over the Korean hills the roadway to immortality.

rn the sacred cause of :": ; country, with a lilt on their lips and a song in their hearts, they gave their all. To some 25,000 of them their all was indeed their all; their life's blood. In the sacred cause of God and country they lifted a torch that will light the free peoples of the world from now on.

{<**

They loved life, and living, and laughing as young men have ever done. And they faced the grisly thing as bravely as did the heroes of the Alamo, or of Thermopylae. With hearts that beat high and bold they plighted their faith to the flag they followed; plighted it even unto death.

Fear knew them not; and they knew fear not. On every field and in every battle they stood like Jackson at the First Manassas; a stone wall, against which the tide of yellow hordes beat and broke like wintry rain. They were men who could have carried the eagles of Napoleon across the Bridge at Lodi; heroes all.

One hundred and sixty *UU"" Orrericans will remember them with gratitude, their eyes dimmed with tears. And their example will sink like incense from the altar of God into the soul of every patriotic American. Thousands of them sleep in unknown graves, and their names live only in the hearts of those they loved*and left.

They will see no more the sunshine of the land they loved. They will not look again upon her verdant hills, her plenteous rivers, her wide-skirted meads. No more for the joyous singing of her birds, the music of her rippling streams. No more for them the clapsed hands of friendship, the thrilling touch of love. t<{.8

As an eloquent Ainerican soldier once said of our heroic dead: "They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or storm, each in the windowless palace of rest. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they have found the serenity of death." ***

If history teaches us anything it is that republics are short lived, and that all governments are but bubbles on the vast ocean of eternity. Blindly we assume that this government and republic of ours are eternal. Yet those who think, realize full well that the very foundations of both are shaking todaY'

Those boys who fought in Korea gave their lives to prove that "the brightest dream that has ever fired the enthusiasm

THE GRANDEST EPITAPH

"This little fellow never refused a loyalty oath."

The above is the inscription placed on the headstone of his pet dog by Louis Sovey, a San Francisco lumberman, when the 13-year-old Sealyham terrier died the other day.

Wouldn't that shame a lot of two-legged animals we hear about?

of man" may not soon become an unprofitable memory. Liberty is divided into two parts; to have and to hold. And the accent is on the second part.

Their heroic lives and deaths will go to prove that, in spite of all the lessons of history, this nation was born to endure, and while God reigns, this republic, born of the blood of our fathers and the tears of our mothers, shall not pass away. And so long as there springs from American loins the type of young men who fought in Korea, this land is safe. Let us know that this is true, and stand firmly on that rock.

Guess Whor These Two Guys Are Soying

Al Bell, of San Francisco, took this candid camera shot of tlvo well known San Franciscans. He sent it along to use in a brief quiz, which this is. The question he wants answered is, what are these two guys talking about ? A glance tells you that the things is serious, whatever it is. Is it Korea, do)zou suppose? Or politics? Or the Redwood market? Or do you reckon they are fixing to fight about who pays the check for the lunch they have just eaten? Who knows?

Death does not end the influence of the true sol'dier. Beauford Jester, lately Governor of Texas, and a splendid orator, said this: "An heroic life does not die. Its influence and reach are beyond death and the grave. Such a life partakes of the infinite. Like unto the soul of man it has the essencg of immortality. It is not bounded by the finality of death or terminated by the grave. Its imptrlses are found in the body politic, and give to the nation vigor and strength. Its ideals, aspirations, and love of country produce vision, purpose, and patriotism in the lives of the countrymen for whom the life was given in sacrifice. The heroic life inspires and enables those who are its survivors and heirs."

Hqrdwood Rules Chonges

All of the rules changes given a prelilninary O,K' by the National Hardwood Lumber Association Steering Committee, which met in Chicago in June have l>een passed upon favorably by the Inspection Rttles Committee as a whole, Secretary-Manager Jos. L. Nluller has announced. The proposed changes will be printed in pamphlet form, he advises, and sent to all members of the Association prior to the Annual Convention in Chicago, October 5-8. At that time, a formal vote on the proposed changes t'ill be taken. The rules changes adopted in Convention lr-ill be made a part of the official NHLA Rules and included in the 1954 Rules Book.'

Anyway, the man on the right is Russell H. Ellis, president of the Willits Redwood Products Company, and the other is Lew Goddard, who is president of the Hobbs \4rall Lumber Company. No prizes are offered for the right answer. The satisfaction of being a good guesser is all you get if you guess right.

If you have loved the glimpse of a doe or a fawn in the bracken at morning, when the mists rise out of the little valley; and the resonanr call of the grouse in the sentinel firs; and the sad sweetness of wild pigeons, calling to one another; and the wood duck low in the warer; and the red rabbit that comes to the sand bar at dawn, out of the blackberry tangle-if you have loved all these, and love them still, BE CAREFUL OF FIRE IN THE FOREST.

If you have loved the deep, cool shadows of noon, with a hawk circling; the charmed stillness of the drowsy woodland, smelling of fern and resin and berry; and a peace that flows outward and inward, like a great pulse in harmony; and the knowledge that here is no urgency, and never has been and a pendant vine drooping with purple berries-if you have one time loved rhese, and had healing from them, BE CAREFUL OF FIRE IN THE FOREST.

If you have lcved the lengthening shadows that come from the forest at evening, when the deer steal forth again, and the plumed quail; the awareness that at twilight the near hills draw neater; if you have loved, in the listening stillness, the splash of a fine trout rising, or a sea-run salmon ascending the river; the assurance, somehow, that you are not alien to the trees, to the evening, nor to the creator of these; if you have loved all this, and these, and are grateful, BE CAREFUL OF FIRE IN THE FOREST.

The Plqce of Wood in Home Construction

By George M. Hqnsen West Coqst Lumbermen's Associqfion

Lumber is one building material that is used by people of all vi'alks of life, in all kinds of construction, and when kept in adequate stock, is always the 'best seller. No other building material can satisfy the requirement for luxurious beauty in an elaborate mansion and at the same time be practical for the lo,rv cost home or even a tree house'for the neighborhood gang.

Wood is versatile and there are kinds of lumber suitable for almost any use in house construction. Ary requirement can be met. Interior surfaces must be pleasing to the eye. Wood, with many species and grades from lvhich to choose, provides this beauty at either lavish expellse or minimum economy to fit the purse.

Fine wood paneling has al.rvays represented the ultimate in luxurious rvall surfaces but it need not be expensive. Modern finishes and stains can make any of the economical softwoods take on the deep warm colors of the hardwoods and at a fraction of the cost. The modern trend however is to use the blond finishes. These light tones are natural in many iess expensive softwoods like West Coast hemlock or Sitka spruce wllile the modern painter applies his bleaches and pigments to give the rich mahoganies and rvalnuts the same effect.

The lavish use of wood in a house gives the impression of great cost, but modern builders have learned that the n'ood itself is actually economical compared to other materials and that simplified construction using strictly functonal and streamlined design eliminates much of the costly labor that was formerly expended on woodwork. Knotty rvood paneling for a room can give an impression of rustic informality wl.ren used simply and casually or even the formal luxuriousness of the French provincial period when designed and used rvith generous and careful cabinetry and joinery. Vertical grain clear paneling offers the uniform pattern of parallel rvood grain. Flat or slash grain clear paneling gives full play to the pattern in the wood grain. Color inherent in the wood is most beautiful when it is the most nearly natural. The only reason for putting a finish on paneling is to make the cleaning easier. Some finishes, like enamels, will cover the wood grain; other "natural" finishes leave the grain visible but nearly always darken the color of the wood.

The beamed ceiling is regaining its popularity for a new reason. In a home, beams used to be associated .ivith mansions and massive studys on a Feudal scale; but norv while some of the old flavor is still roused, a plank and beam ceiling represents an economical method of construction since it uses less lumber. less labor. costs less and is actually stronger than conventional 'ivood ceiling and roof construction.

The advantages of a r,vood floor are often not thought

of because wood is customary. Wood deserves that acceptance however. The primary consideration in a floor to be seen is beauty. A wood floor can be laid that will please the eye with rich color or cool blondness. Some woods offer interesting pattern and others a sleek matching uniformity.

The hidden qualities in a wood floor include wearabilitl', insulating va1ue, and resiliency. Of these rvearability is often overemphasized because actually it is tl-re finish that takes the 'rvear. The hardwoods such as oak, maple and pecan excel in wearability, but the housewife who intends to take care of her floor finish could just as 'ivell enjoy the economy and beauty of a softwood floor.

The insulating value of wood on a floor is important because it keeps the rvinter cold of basements or outside air froin entering and at the same time keeps the inside heat where it belongs. This means, too, a r.varmer floor, very important when children are to be considered. In summer wood will keep the heat out; and the all-rvood house will be many degrees cooler.

The resiliency of a wood floor is most aPparent to the housewife who is on her feet most of the day. While not apparent to the casual observer, the "give" in a u'ood floor is much more restful.

Some floors are seldom on display in a home such as in closets or second story bedrooms. A floor may be carpeted r,vall to rvall or covered with linoleum and never be seen. Real economies can be realized by using the softr'voods in these places, even to using lorver grades of softrvoods under other floor coverings.

Wood in the kitchen cabinets and paneling is very modern but actually this is a reversion to u'hat grandma knerv r'vas best all along. Grandma enameled her r'vood cabinets though. The modern homemaker puts a durable nerv "natural" finish on her cabinets and enjoys the beauty of the pattern in the wood. The cabinets of "hospital" whiteness have lost much of their popularity to the more colorful livable kitchen, which features either the pattern and color of the wood or takes advantage of the ease of painting \vood. Colors in a wood kitchen can easily be changed. Another advantage is that a wood cabinet can more easily be remodeled or moved. Any carpenter can do such rvo;:k. Workers rvith other materials are less available and in general clemand higher pay.

A refreshing and truly different kitchen floor seen being used in "shou.place" ranch-type homes is a "naturai" finish rvood flooring, sometimes rvith random rvidths and pegs. The finishes are highly lvear and water resistattt and the effect is perfect harmony rvith the inforn-ral mood of the "ranch" house architecture. These examples may be the forerunners of a neu' style in kitchen floors.

Retail Lumber Salesmanship

Men used to sell THINGS in the retail lumber business. Today they mostly sell IDEAS.

The public cares not a rap whether you are in business or not except so far as you may prove of benefit to THEM. People are interested in their own business-not in YOURS.

Selling the THING is incidental because that is what YOU are trying to dispose of ; selling the USE OF THAT THING is of importance, because that is what your customer NEEDS and may therefore be interested in.

He may need it and not be interested in it, because he may not have become CONSCIOUS of that need. But if he really NEEDS it, he can become interested in it through YOUR efforts.

There is nothing new about selling IDEAS. It is as old as the everlasting hills; but it IS new to entirely too many people. Regarding the sale of ideas, many dealers are in the position of the college boy who was asked if he had TAKEN Greek? He replied that he hadn't really taken Greek; he had merely been exposed to it.

Four thousand years ago (according to that GOOD BOOK to which several of the Apostles gave their direct attention) a man named Solbmon thought of a temple; he had an IDEA. And he wrote to a man named Hiram and contracted for some MATERIALS to materialize that idea.

Hiram took a contract from Solomon by which he agreed to bring logs by raft to Joppa, and deliver them on the job. There you have the first LUMBER DEAL on record; except, of course, the one about Noah and the Ark.

Solomon had the IDEA, he drew the plans and specifications, and bought the materials from Hirarn; and the temple was built; the IDEA WAS MATERIALIZED.

Today few men remember the name of }Iiram, the man who supplied the BUILDING MATERIALS. But all the world from the cradle up knows about the man who had the IDEA. He was the man of wisdom. There is food for thought there, Mr. Building Merchant.

IDEAS are the most practical of all things. Everything is based, and founded on IDEAS. Every great structure is simply the visualization, the realization of the IDEA of such a structure.

The only man on earth interested in LUMBER and BUILDING MATERIALS is the lumber merchant; and his only interest is to get rid of it just as quickly as possible.

Yet we BUY lumber, we TALK lumber, and we THINK lumber; and how on earth do we expect our customers to get any other idea from us if that is the only one we have to give?

The very first IDEA the merchant should get is that he is NOT in business to sell the goods he carries in stock, but rather TO HELP PEOPLE BUY THEM. That's salesmanship.

You never really sell a bill of goods. When a deal is made whereby your goods and the other man's money change hands, it is because that man has been sold on the IDEA of building something with YOUR goods.

He isn't interested in the THING: but rather in the FUNCTION of it.

Sell him the. IDEA and he'll do the material purchasing.

More building is done in YOUR town whenever you sell the people of the town on the IDEA of more and better buildings. And if you say there is not much building being done in your town you are simply stating that the people of the town are NOT sold on buildings.

Every human on earth has the desire for SHELTER either for himself or his possessions, and when you sell him on the IDEA of some particular form of shelter, he will buy the materials.

But you can't sell what you haven't got, so in order to sell IDEAS you must have some in stock; good and useful and attractive ones.

You must have the IDEA of your business before you can sell CONFIDENCE and TRUST in it.

You must have the idea of your customer's needs before you can sell building THOUGHTS.

And you must have the IDEA, the vision of your community if you are to help build that community.

So, reach out in every direction for IDEAS. Read everything and see everything that could supply you with them. Meet your fellow craftsmen and exchange IDEAS with them.

Stock yourself with building IDEASand building MATERIALS will be demanded of you.

Foll Conference for Southern Retoilers

New Officers For long-Bell's Vernonio

It was announced in these columns tr'vo months ago that The Long-Bell Lumber Company, of Kansas City, Mo., and Longvierv, Wash., had purchased the controlling ownership of the Oregon-American Lumber Corporation, at Vernonia, Ore. Management of the properties was immediately taken over by the Long-Bell executives. They likewise took over Judd Greenman, r,vho was president and general manager of the former company, and who continues as general manager for Long-Bell. Mr. Greenman, a highly popular and competent lumberman, has been running the Vernonia plant from the time it was built.

Vernonia is located 31 miles southrvest of Longview, where Long-Bell operates one of the world's largest milling institutions. The sawmill cuts 50,000,000 board feet of lumber annually, and employs about 600 people. The sawmill is equipped with two band headrigs, a horizontal resaw, gang saw, and timber sizer. There are eight planing machines and two moulders in the planing mill. Vernonia kiln dries a larger proportion of its cut that most big fir mills, using 35 dry kilns to dry most of its lumber.

Twenty thousand acres of land, part of it still covered with virgin timber, went with the purchase, and the remainder of the acreage is being tree farmed.

Following are the new officers of the company: J. H.

Kennesson, president; J. D. I-eland, Stith, vice president; R. A. L. E,llis, assistant treasurer; K. G. Hanson, Klingberg, assistant secretary.

Foresl Service Will Hire Smokeiumpers

About 250 smokejumpers will be hired by- the Forest Service this year to parachute to back-countrv forest fires in the West, according to a recent announcenlent by the Forest Service. This elite corps of specialists m:tke up the first line of defense on fires in remote roadless areas' Twenty-five of these expert fire fighters are stationed at Cave Junction, Oregon (32 miles south of Grants Pass) to leave on a minute's notice to put out fires starting in remote mountainous areas of Oregon and Califorrlia" Other smokejumper bases are at Missoula, \'[ontana, arltl McCall, Idaho.

A smokejumper group consisting of eight t:ren made twenty-five fire jumps in the California natic,rlal forests last year.

Getting to fires when they are small by means of aerial transport prevents thousands of acres from bttrning and saves the expenses involved in controlling a large hre in remote roadless areas.

Recent research at Oregon Forest Products Laboratory reveals that western hardwoods u''hen properlv handled compare very favorably with eastern hardwoods.

Public Lqw 94 Efrective July 1953

When President Eisenhorver approved Public Law 94 on J,une 30, 1953, many important changes were made by its terms in the aftairs of the Federal Housing Administration.

For all lo-year debentures issued in connection with mortgage insurance programs the interest rate will be 2t/a/o and the rate on all debentures having a term in excess of 10 years rvill be increased from 2z/j/o to 3/o. The increased rates, concurred in by Treasury Secretary Humphrev, are efiective lvith respect to mortgages insured on and after July 8, 1953.

The National Housing Act provides for the issuance of debentures when properties are tendered to the Commissioner instead of payment in cash in order to permit the Federal Housing Administration to accomplish orderly liquidation of the acquired properties before being required to effectuate a cash satisfaction of the insurance liability. However, in order that this cash satisfaction may be accomplished at the earliest feasible date, debentures authorized with respect to all insurance written since Feb. 15, 1938, are callable on any interest payment date upon three months' notice.

In the current money market conditions an upward adjustment in debenture interest rate was felt necessary in order to bring the yield on FHA debentures to a level comparable with that of similar securities.

Furthermore, the term of debentures issued in connection with project mortgages insured under Sections 207 and 213 was reduced from 20 years to 10 years under the terms of the Housing Amendments of 1953, Public Law 94, approved on June 30, 1953.

Public Law 94 increases the insurable amounts under Section B, Title I, for the operative builder from $4,250 to $5,100. Insurable amounts for the owner occuDanr were increased from $4,750 to $5,700.

Under the same bill, authority was given to insnre under Title IX (Sections 903 and 908) for one additional year, to June 30, 1954, and Title VIII, military housing, has been extended to July I, 1954. Interest rate under Section 908 has been increased to 4%%. Interest rate under Section 213, cooperative housing, is increased to 4r/a/o on project mortgages and to 4l/o on individual mortgages.

Section 2O7, rental housing, was amended to change the maximum ratio of loan to value, to 8O/o-$7,200 per family

Douglas Fir in sizes to 24" x 24"

Redwood in sizes to 12" x12" - lengths to 24'

Planer capacity for surfacing up to 24" x24"

Rcmanufacturing facilities for regawing up to 34" x 34"

unit, if the number of rooms does not equal or exceed four per family unit. A 90/o ratio of loan to value is authorized if the number of bedrooms equals or exceeds t\vo per farnily unit, provided the mortgage does not exceed $7,200 per family unit. Interest rates for Section 207 are 4%%.

FHA form 2476 (Bulder's Certification with Respect to Charges and Fees) has been revised and the change is reflected in item "E." FHA form 2477 (Mottgages Supplemental Certification Covering Charges and Fees) has also been revised and the charge is reflected in Item "D."

FHA form 2477 (Mortgagee's Supplemental Certificate) u'as revised July 1953. The revised certificate is required on all commitments issued on proposed construction on and after July 14, 1953. The mortgagee in executing the commitment shall strike out the reference to charges and fees ',r,'hich may be inconsistent with the collection of a discount from the builder. On outstanding commitments issued prior to July 14, 1953, the mortgagee may execute lorm 2477 and strike out the wording in the mortgagee's certification on the commitment pertaining to charges and fees.

Mogozine Prcrises llumboldr County Progress (From "ForestrY Digest")

A farm advisor turned forester, W. D. Pine, is credited by a California news magazine with filling an important role in bringing good forest practices to Humboldt County, Calif., the nation's second timber producing region.

N{r. Pine arranged a public meeting r,vhere Emanuel Fritz of the University of California School of Forestry explained timber values and the importance of selective cutting. From this meeting stemmed a series of organizations and activities designed to ensure a sustained timber yield in Humboldt County.

In an article entitled "Hope in the Humboldt," Fortnight says "Happily, the lumber industry in California is progressive. Top management can see the forest beyond the trees and is inclined to go along on any program designed to maintain the industry on a permanent basis."

Among factors listecl by the magazine as contributing to indtrstry permanence are the 17-man Humboldt County Forestry Committee, Redwood Region Conservation Council, Redr,vood Region Logging Conference, and state college forestry courses, the Tree Farm program, higl-r school and state college forestry courses, 4-H Club forestry projects, state forest practices act, Small Woodlands Council, the Junior Logging Conference and Save-the-Redwoods League.

The bounty, by 1951, was supporting 262 mills which annually produce 1,250,000,000 board feet. Ten years before. 24 mills produced 365J62,000 board feet.

Heovy Conslruclion Totols

According to Engineering News-Record, New York trade journal, heavy construction contracts for the week ending July 30, totalled $D7,471,000, and for the first 31 r,veeks of the year $9,235,000,000. That 'ivas 2/o over last year, which rvas previouslY high.

A very happy event of the summer at Flagstaff, Arizona, was a log camp trip and entertainment supplied by the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Cornpany for lN students of the college summer school. Freeman Schultz, vice president and general manager of the lumber company, acted as l-rost. The crowd of students and their hosts rode in decorated logging cars from Flagstafi to the Happy Jack logging camp beyond Mormon Lake. They were fed in the mess hall of the logging c?mp, and were shown logging operations in the Coconino National Forest, by F. tr. McDermaid, assistant supervisor of the forest.

Timber Truckers Announce Stqnd ln log Truck Controversy

The California Association of Timber Truckers today stated its position in the truck overload controversy between a group of logging truck operators in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties and the State Highlvay Patrol which resulted recentlv in a nine-day "park do\l'n" protest north of Eureka.

The Association, cornprising many of the major tirnber operators in California, few if any of rvl.rose memlters have been voluntarily involved in the dispute, declared through its president, Fred F. Holmes of San Francisco, that the Association did not in any way suggest or condone the tactics follou'ed by the protesting truckers, nor has it ever encouraged the abandonment of vehicles along the highways.

"In spite of our best efforts to complv nith the lar'v, there have been occasions when we were unintentionally in violation. This condition," said Holmes, "resulted from current statutorv language rn'hich does not make prcivision for a reasonable tolerance to cover the tremendous and unknorvn variation in the per board-foot lveight of green salr' logs.

"We fully realtze tl.rat correction of this situation may be accomplished only through remedial legislation and we propose to bring it to the attention of our state senators and assemblymen at the next session rvhere it might rightfully be considered.

"The timber industry faces a real problem but members of the Association are unanimous in their determination to abide by the law and seek relief only in a responsible fasl-rion and through proper channels."

Holmes, 'ivho is also president of the Holmes-Eureka Lumber Co., indicated that the Association was available as an "intermediary" in the dispute and further added, "the primary purposes of the California Association of Timber Truckers is to foster safety on the highr,'r'ay through driver education and safer equipment, development of a good neighbor 1>olicy between timber truck drivers and other highrvay users, orderly development of natural resources and closer cooperation between timber operators, public authorities and other otganizations functioning for the same ultimate objectives."

The Association offices also announce that no connection or relationship existed between the California Association of Timber Truckers and an organization know as the Timber Truckers of Cali{ornia.

Ofifrcers and stafi, in addition to llolmes, include A' B. Hood, vice-president and general manager of Ralph L' Smith Lumber Co., vice-president; D' D' Fairbrother, American Forest Products Corp., treasurer; directors, A.

No Northwest Srrike This Summer

The strike vote of the CIO International Woodworkers of America on the question of whether or not to call a strike for the 5 cents an hour they had demanded of the mills in the Pacific Northwest, failed to carry by a margin of just 17 votes. As a result there will be no general strike in the Northrvest lumber industry this summer, although the matter of local strikes by local or district unions remains open.

Hisfory Mqde In Flor Cor Stud Shipments

Nfention rvas made in the August 1 issue of The California Lumber Merchant of the history-making arrival in Los Angeles of five carloads of. 2-4-8 fir studs, loaded on flat cars.

Orrie W. Hamilton sent out a bulletin to the members of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association on the subject, claiming great things for stud shipping in that manner in future. The claims for flat car shipping of these studs are : quick loading at the mills; quick and cheap unloading at destination; putting cars back into service in a hurry; perfect condition of studs on arrival. Mr. Hamilton told it this rvay:

"The first rail shipments of studs ever to be made by flat car to any place in the nation began arriving at the Taylor Freight Yard in Los Angeles on Monday, July 20. Without exception every one of these cars arrived in periect order for quick 100 per cent mechanical unloading and for safe storing and handling in retail yards. These cars all met the test and measured up in all respects to our fondest hopes and expectations. Not one piece of lumber was jostled loose or lost in transit. Evet'1' package on the several cars remained square and plumb on both sides and ends and there was very little shifting of the load even though the cars had made a journey of o'r'er 800 miles from the mill over mountain passes to Los Angeles.

We wish all of our members could have been present to have seen the perfect condition of these shipments and to have rvitnessed the unloading of these cars, but we rvill do the next best thing and reproduce a few of the pictures taken of these cars on their arrival in Los Angeles. Besides, 1ve may be able to show you at a later date, the colored moving pictures taken while the cars rvere being unloaded.

"Credit for this history making feat is due entirely to Mr. A. G. Perkins, Transportation Supervisor, Public Utilities Commission of the State of Californiar Perkins has long contended that if cars were properly loaded, and banded and butted together, even though the packages

were only 8 feet long. they l'ould rvithstand the jostling and ordinary handling of the railroads and arrive at destinations without delay, and in perfect condition.

"Mr. Perkins had 'ivorked out the details for these test shipments with the railroads and the lumber prodttcers and engineered the loading of these cars. He 'ivas personally on hand to supervise the loading of tl.rese experimental cars and to subsequently ir:spect them at various 1>ttints along the journey to Los Angeles, and he was here to make a joint inspection r'vith our committee and railroad representatives, and to see them unloaded at the consignees' yards.

"Some of the cars took as little as 23 minutes to unload. No hand labor was needed or used to unload anv of these cars other than to strip them of cross ties, longitudinal ties, load bearing and stakes. Some of the packages 'n'ere taken by lift trucks and placed on the trucks for immediate delivery to the job, while tl.re balance rvas stacked high in the yards r,r'ithout danger to employees or customers."

The LUMBER MERCHANT asked Mr. Hamilton for physical facts concerning these flat car shipments and lvas told that the 5 carloads averaged 43,000 feet each; there was an average of 18 packages on each car, the packages were either 15 or 13 pieces l'ide,24 pieces high, lr'ith fu-inch stickers placed in every 8th course. The cars are unloaded with lift trucks, and in most yards the ttnloading can be done from both side of the cars, speeding up the action.

Mr. Hamilton predicts that in the near future flat carloads of studs rvill be made to rnuch more distant territories.

Nation's Architects Watch Simpson Logging

Here is a unique and historic scene.

Here are about 750 architects, gathered frotn every state in the nation, watching a logging operation, most of them fof the first time.

The -\merican Institute oi Architects held its annual business convention in Seattle a fetr, ll'eeks ago, and the entire gathering:"ivere the guests tif the Simpstln I-ogging Company in a 'ivell-planned ancl conducted trip to the great logging headcluarters of the Cor.npan)' at Shelton. \Vashingt,,n

The guests traveled 2oo miles frorn Seattle to tl.re logging operations. They rode in scores of giant buses to the rvoods, and retttrned by private vachts. About 100 employes of Simpson acted as guides and hosts to tl.re armrof visitors. There \\ras a loggers' lunch, then log rtlllrng by champions, tree t<lpping and speed climbing exhillitions follou'ecl. and then the visitors saw a great logging opera-

tion from end to end. Thev sarv tree felling, log bucking, brrlldozing, yarding of logs bv "cats," and truck Lradjng. The picture shon's the crorvd of ir.rterested spectators in the background, and a t1-pical log-lozrding operation in the foreground. The architects went home knon-itrg tnore about lumber and its origin than most of them hacl ever dreamed of.

Ain'l F The Truth

Over the hill trailed a man behind a mule drawing a plow., Said the man to the mule: "Bill, you are a mule, the son of a jackass, and I am a man made in the image of God. Yet, here we work, hitched up together year in and year out. I often wonder if you work for me or if I work for you. Verily, I think it a partnership between a mule and a fool, for surely f work as hard as you, if not harder. Plowing or cultivating we cover the same distance, but you do it on four legs and I on two. I, therefore, do twice as much work per leg as you do.

"Soon, we'll be preparing for a corn crop. When the crop is harvested I give one-third to the landlord for being so kind as to let me use this small speck of God's universe. One-third goes to you and the balance is mine. You consume all of your portion with the exception of the cobs, while I divide mine among seven children, six hens, two ducks and a banker. If we both need shoes, you get 'em. Bill', you are getting the best of me, and I ask you, is it fair for a mule, the son of a jackass, to swindle a manthe Lord of Creation-out of his substance?

"Why, you only help to plow and cultivate the ground, and f alone must cut, shock and husk the corn while you look over the pasture fence and heehaw at me.

"Al1 Fall and most of the Winter the whole family, from Granny to the baby, picks cotton to help raise money to pay taxes and buy a new harness and pay the interest on the mortagage on you. And what do you care about mortgage? Not a damn, you ornery cuss! I even have to do the worrying about the mortgage on your tough ungrateful hide.

"About the only time I am your better is on el'ection day, for I can vote and you can't. And after election I realize that I was fully as great a jackass as your papa. Verily I am prone to wonder if politics were made for men or jackasses, or to make jackasses of men.

"And that ain't all, Bill. When you're dead that's supposed to be the end of you. But me? The parson tells me that when I die I gotta go to hell forever. That is, Bill, if I don't do just as he says, and most of what he says keeps me from getting any kick out of life.

"Telt me, Willyum, considering these things, how can you keep a straight face and look so dumb and solemn?"

lf tifb Were But A Doy

If all that we could lmow of life Need be but a day, If life were really one day I'ong, W'd make that one day gay; We'd never take the time to frown To worry, or to sigh, We'd get the good we could from life Before the day went by.

Some fowers grow that open wide At dawn to bloom 'til night; They keep their faces to the sun Reflect its beaming light; They shed their beauty-perfume sweet On all who pass their way, And all they ever know of life Is but a single day.

Really we've but today to live, The present moment's all; Tomorrow never seems to come, It e'er eludes our call. We need to get the good we can From all today can give, So let's resolve that we today Will love, rejoice, and live.

A Chonged Condition

A cub reporter, frequently reprimanded for prolixity and warned to be brief, turned in the following:

"A shocking a,ffair occurred last night. Sir Edward Hopeless, a guest at Lady Panmore's ball, complained of feeling ill, took his hat, his coat, his departure, no notice of his friends, a taxi, a pistol from his pocket, and finally his life. Nice chap. Regrets and all that."

Six Months ln Redwood

Prepared Especially for Ths California Lumbcr Merchant

by thc California Redwood

Association

It is difficult indeed to set up a single yardstick by which to juclge the achievements of the redu'ood lumber industry during- the first half of 1953' Not only is this because the activilies are many but because, more often than not, r'vhat is accomplished during the first six months of the year frequentll, determines the direction for the second half oi the vear.

Frankly, to attempt to describe in any detail the activities undertaken, the tasks set forth and completed, would be impossible in the space assigned. Therefore let us pick a fen, of the highlights-many of them of direct interest to the wholesale and retail lumberman'

First, let's take a look at production' During the first six months of 1953 the production of the 19 mills reporting monthly to the California Redn'ood Association showed an increase of more than 5/o above the production of these mills during the first half of last year' Their shipments and orders exceeded last year's figures by over l2/o'

OI course this information cannot be considered complete because of the large number of mills cutting redwood which clo not report their figures to the Association' We do knol', horvever, that January's floods and the late spring rains, particularly, did curtail activities of some of these mills. It rvould therefore be safe to assume that the relative activitv of the non-reporting mills was somewhat less than those ivho reported. Horvever, it seems probable that redwood production and shipments again set a new record during the first half of this 1'ear'

To accompany this production, the promotional activities of the Association have been tailored to fit a program of constant service to the distributor, specifier and ultimate user of the product. Although redrvood production is relatively small-accounting for less lhan 3o/o of the total softnrooi prod.rction in the United' States-some of it finds its rvay into every state in the union' This wide geographic distribution, to say nothing of the many special uses to rvhich redn'ood is pttt, requires constant attention in the field. As a result, the principal market areas are visited on regular schedules.

ciation, show how the rate of air drying may be increased and the uniformity of the final product improved. The results of these studies have largely been adapted by the industry to its operations.

Lumbermen in six different climatic regions covering the United States are cooperating in a California Redr,vood Association program designed to test further the durability of a selected group of natural exterior finishes. Of the first 108 finish systems which have been subjected to preliminary natural weathering tests, only 15 have met the Association's minimum durability requirements. It is these 15 which are being tested further in various parts of the country to determine their suitability to a number of climatic conditions. All the finishes which have met minimum standards of durability are listed in the Association's data sheet, "Exterior Finishes," copies of r.vhich are obtainable without charge from the Association, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco 11.

Today's production cannot be discussed r'vithout giving some attention to the future. That is why a large portion of the redwood industry effort is directed toward conservation. The tree farm program, launched in the redwood industry three years ago, has progressed slowly but on solid foundation. Tree farming is the greatest single factor affecting the guarantee of a future source of supply. During the last six months, 28,243 acres in five new tree farms rvere certified by the California Redwood Association, bringing the total acreage in the region to 137,376.

In 1950, the redwood industry took the lead in the formation of the Redwood Region Conservation Council which has embarked on a longe-range educational program of conservation and fire prevention. The key to the success of this organization has been the active participation on the part of the public which has resulted in a joint, cooperative effort with the industry. In this program, the redrvood industry has been joined by fir and plyn'ood manufactuers and suppliers of goods and services.

One of the largest single accomplishments of the Council during the last six months 'ivas the sponsorship of the nation's first Junior Logging Conference which was held at Mendocino Woodlands, south of Fort Bragg. Seventy high school students, most of them enrolled in higl-r school courses in forestry and lumbering, which were also sponsored originally by the RRCC, attended the three-day conference.

With the advent of the summer fire season, the RRCC has organized among its local chapters, the Redwood Circles, Keep Green committees for the purpose of spreading the gospel of fire prevention. In cooperation with the State Division of Forestry and other agencies, it is expected that 1953 will see the greatest Keep Green effort to date in the region, based principally on public participation.

These then were the high spots of the first six months of 1953. But it must be recognized that nearly all of them are continuing projects which form a portion of the progress toward continual improvement of the product, its understanding and use and in the long run, progress toward an assured future supply.

Reforestqtion Booms In ldoho

Reforestation, pulpwood and Christmas trees can be expected to produce the big farm forestry nervs of the future in Idaho, believes Frank H. Pitkin, nurseryman at the University of ldaho.

Likervise, plantings for those purposes promise to push the University farm forestry nursery, a federal-state cooperative operation under the Clark-McNary act, up nearer full capacity producing during the next fer,v years. Under that act, aimed to stimulate private tree planting, seedlings are provided from the state nurseries at less than production cost.

"Idaho has hundreds of thousands of acres o{ forest land rvhich has been crlt-over or burned over and is not restockitself naturally," Pitkin believes. "Only by planting will this land be gotten back into tree production. In some areas the desirable practice is to clear cut the mature timber and replant the entire area. That calls for seedlings by the thousands. Farmers are discovering pulprvood and Christmas trees can become important 'farm crops and are making plantings for that purpose. All this adds up to a grwing demand for trees.

"Although the University nursery has been in operation 43 years, it still is in its infancy considering the acreages yet to be planted and the grorving importance of plantings for pulpu'ood and Christmas tree markets."

Up to now, some 8,000,000 seedlings have gone out from the University's forestry nurser)'. Shipments the past two years have totaled al;out 1,250,000. Of this number, Pitkin's figures shorv about 1,100,000 seedlings went to private planters, mostly farmers. The remainder were taken by the State Fish and Game department for game and conservation plantings, by the Soil Conservatit-rn service, the State Forestry departm€nt and other public agencies. I'itkin estimates that seedlings from the University nursery during its 43-year history have planted 8,177 acres of u'oodlots. rvindbreaks and shelterbelts.

The sharp increase in farm tree demands {orecast by Pitkin for the near future will not catch the University unprepared. Operations have been planned on the basis that farm tree demand throughout the state rvould continue to grou'. The forestry nurseryman figures the 22 acres devoted to farm tree procluction capable of producing 2,000,000 seedling trees and shrnbs every year.

Most important addition to the University's farm tree program was the addition this year of a cold storage building capable of holding 1,000,000 seedlings. This storage plant makes it possible to dig large quantities of trees while dormant and keep them under controlled temperature and moisture conditions until shipped.

Produced in the University forestry nursery every year arc 37 different varieties of trees and shrubs. Of these 16 are g'rown in large numbers for statewide planting. The rest are for research and test demonstration, for the farm forestry folks are constantly on the lookout for new trees and shrubs that will do well in Idaho.

Most popular trees, according to nursery sales, are Russian olive and black locust. For many years black locust was all by itself in popularity. Ne*i come spruce and juniper. Headliner among the shrubs is multiflora rose, in wide demand for wildlife food and cover plantings. Around I0O,O0O of these bushes came from the nursery this spring. Coming up fast in demand, and likely to be among the leaders in the future, are the pines, spruces and firs. These will be for the reforestation, pulpwood and Christmas tree plantings which Pitkin predicts will dominate the farm forestry picture of tomorrow.-(From the University of Idaho Reports.)

Will Publicize Hordwood Plywood

Plans for a half-million dollar, two-year trade promotion program were formulated by the Trade Promotion Committee of the Hardwood Plywood Institute in meetings held at the Moraine-on-the-Lake Hotel, Highland Park, Illinois, July 16-17. A tentative budget outline rvas presented and approval was granted on the initial phase of the program, which includes the devAlopment of a catalog, grade marking and trade marking and quality control, according to NI. C. Mclver, chairman.

This was the first meeting of the combined membership since the merging of the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association with the Hardwood Plywood Institute. The registration list shows 34 in attendance, including operators from Canada.

The trade mark which was adopted by the group contains the phrase "Certified American Quality" rn'hich will be used in labelling the panels and in promotion and catalog information.

Honsen-Pocific Mill Fire-Domoged

Hansen-Pacific's sawmill at Fortuna, Calif., rvas badly damaged by fire on luly 25. Several electric motors, the trim saw, edger, conveyors, part of the mill building and the green chain were destroyed. The head rig was not damaged.

The Hansen-Pacific Lumber Co. went to Fortuna in 1951 when they purchased the mill and timber of the McCready Lumber Co. They had operated continuously since 'that time and were turning out about 55,000 board feet a day. They had operated the sawmill on two shifts, the planing mill on one shift and employed 85 people. Just three days before the fire, Hansen-Pacific started construction of a new mill which they hope to have in operation by December 15 of this year. Their new mill will cost in the neighborhood of $300,000, will be all electric and will feature a nine-foot band saw. They estimhte that the new mill will turn out 100,000 board feet per shift, the sawmill running one shift and their planing mill operating' two shifts. The completed mill will cover 23 acres.

As the planing mill was not damaged by the fire, it will continue to operate; however, it is not known whether the company will rebuild the damaged sawmill, or try to rush completion of the new mill.

How Not To Promote Internqtionql Goodwill

Of interest to fellow golfers rvould be a story we heard recently about Hollis Jones, now sales manager for Western Door & Sash Co., Oakland. Hollis was recalled into the Navy a couple of years ago and served some 18 months in Japan. It seems that he was out one day for a game, however, found the course crowded as usual. He placed his ball in an inclined starting rack behind about 30 others whose owners were sitting out by the first tee arvaiting for their turns. About then Hollis spotted some friends rvho invited him to make a foresome. They were about to tee off, so Hollis went over to get his ball out of the starting rack, however in the process knocked the lvhole rack over. As you can imagine, some 30 balls bouncing around with their or,vners scrambling for them and trying to find their places in the rack again made quite an impression on Hollis. Good thing there wasn't an Admiral there !

Jops Plon Big Alosko Mill

Tokyo, July 20-T'wenty-trvo Japanese promoters today approved a plan to build a iumber and pulp mill at Sitka, Alaska, capable of turning out three billion cubic feet of lumber annually.

They formed an investment company to establish an American corporation to be called the Sitka Lumber and Pulp Company.

T1're committee selected Junichiro Kobayashi as president and Tadao Sasayama as chairman of the board of directors.

The approval r,vas unanimously adopted by the Japanese promoters of the projected Alaska Pulp Co.

The president, Kobayashi, is director of the Council for

Integrated Counter-Measures for F orest Resources of Tokyo, the central organization for planning the establishment of the mill in Alaska.

The council said it will take at least two more lveeks until the Japanese company will begin functioning.

The mills rvill be capable of producing 100,000 tons of pulp annually by the fourth year, the council said.

The new company will start with a capital of 1,500,000,0@ yen (about $4,167,000) of which 80 per cent will be financed by Japanese and the rest by Americans.

The 22 Japanese promoters include representatives of the synthetic textile industry, lumber industry, paper manufacturing industry and the Council for Integrated CounterMeasures for Forest Resources.

Holding Hqrdwood Flooring Clinics

To help dealers sell more hardwood flooring and thereby preserve for lumber the dominant share of the big residential flooring market, the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association has launched a nationwide series of dramatized sales training clinics.

Presented for the first time in Youngstown, O., and Pittsburgh, Pa., in J;une, the clinics will be held wherever the demand warrants, according to Henry H. Willins, association secretary.

The clinics, developed under the direction of the association's advertising committee, are the result of a year's planning and research. They utilize professionally produced materials, including recorded examples of "right" and "wrong" selling methods, charts, life-size cut-down figures, and a handsome kit of sales aids and instructions.

James B. Wiseman, assistant to the president of E. L. Bruce Company, Memphis, Tenn., acted as master of ceremonies at both opening clinics. He was aided by Willins and Milton Craft, president of Chapman and Dewey Lumber Company, Memphis, and immediate past president of the association.

The second prize will be played for at the August 18 tournament, which will be held at the Virginia Country Club, with Burt Galleher host for the day.

Sturdy New Growth Fir Lumber

logs were picked from three typical areas of western Oregon by Michael A. Taras, research engineer with the U. S. Forest Products laboratory at Madison, \Misconsin, with the help of Arvid Johnson and Julius Bartlett, supervisors for the West Coast grading bureau.

These logs rvill be cut into test pieces and rvill be subjected to intensive scientific tests at the Madison laboratorv to determine proper strength values for various t1'pes of nerv gror,vth logs.

In an effort to keep pace with new products, improved utilization and better manufacturing technology, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection are constantly cooperating to improve their service to the lumber industry.

Latest joint project involves a series of tests to determine the best method of grading lumber cut from new growth Douglas fir.

"We need to knorv more about new growth and what it will do when converted into lumber," pointed out T. K. May, technical director of WCLA. "We believe much of this new growth has a high percentage of summer wood, and summer rvood gives lumber its strength."

"This new growth Douglas fir," May stated, "may provide a source of supply for much high-grade structural lumber in the future. We intend to learn the facts."

Behm Tolks Hordwood Plywood

Hardwood plywood is a rapidly growing, practical and profitable distribution item for building material outlets, said R. D. (Dick) Behm, newly appointed Director of Trade Promotion for Hardwood Plyrvood Institute, at the recent Sun Valley meeting of National Plywood Distributors Association.

In addition to the rare and magnificently-matched hardwood plywoods, industry offers a complete line of plywoods from the lowest cost and thinnest through the complete gamut of price and appearance values to the most glamorous and costly, according to Behm. There are hardwood plywoods with rugged, tough-wearing properties that are the work-horses of industry. Technical, fatigue-proof hardwood plywood is found in aircraft construction and in specialized marine uses. Industry's huge cooling towers and heating exchangers where, day in and day out, year in and year out, operation is necessary, use a fan blade constructed of hardrvood plywood. At Wright Field, when metal fan blades failed in the huge wind test tunnel, a plywood blade was made which works perfectly.

Appearance and quality values have been watch words of the industry for years. Today, that integrity of appearance has been maintained and at the same time, improvements in quality and performance of that glue line have been made, which mean longer lasting beauty and greater usefulness.
