.. .In his 27 years of working in the woods for The Paciftc Lumber Company, big, rugged Hump Cook has seen many changes and improvements in the methods and equipment used in cutting giant redwoods and firs and snaking them out of the forest. Chain saws have ended much of the back-breaking labor in felling trees; power. ful tractors have supplanted the old bull teams. And, unlike the old days, loggers today are usually solid family men and homeowners, applying their skills and experience to a per. manent career with the company.

"Permanence" is a word well applied to the people who work for Paciffc. Hump's son Gary, and his son-in-law, work in the mills. If tradition serves, their sons will likely follow them, a supposition indicated by the many second and third genera. tion names on our payroll.

Besides implying that Paciftc is a good company to work for, this sort of loyalty and dedica. tion to lumbering as a career has advantages to us, and to you as a customer. ft gives Pacific a continuity of reliable, highly-skilled employees. It assures you of a dependable supply of the ffnest productArchitectural Quality Palco ReiItoood, the industry's standard of comparison for more than 90 years.

But, as we said before, they came both to relax and attend to serious business andj bright and early the next morning, all of the !'cowboys" were in the saddle at 10 o'clock for the business session.

They heard guest speaker Edward H. Fickett, A.I.A., tell them how they could miss the boat by the old methods of merchandising their products to a new and bountiful market. He explained the many, many "Architectural lJses of Hardwoods" and the manv wavs in which aluminum firms are trying to take this markef away from the lumber business.

Mr. Fickett dropped many hints on how to grab that sales dollar at the architectural level, where the planning of all construction begins. His remarks were well-received and then came the time set aside to elect new officers.

The principal spealer, Ed Fickett (standing), talks to the convention gatherlng adopted, arld then the following members were elected to head the PCWHDA for the fiscal 1960-61 year:

Roy Stanton, Jr., president; James Higgins, lst vicepresident; Ed Bauer, 2nd vice-president, and Ed Shuman, a new member from the 50th state of Hawaii, secretarytreasurer.

Climaxing the wonderful three-day event with a gay cocktail party and beautiful dinner-dance in the Coral Casino by the sea was good planning. Everybody entered into the fun of this special occasion from the very beginning.

Incoming and outgoing presidents directed the orchestra, the girls got into the dancing act, and Kenr.reth MacBeath, master of ceremonies, was assisted by Sid Simmons. Jim Cooper and his wife performed in the vaudeville manner and beautiful Nancy Adams sang many songs from current musical comedy hits. It was a most enjoyable evening and

IN THIS ELECTION YEAR it is interesting to note that no President of the United States was ever born in the Far VVest. Neither was the wife of any President. Do you suppose that politics depends on geography more than mathematics?

Tennyson set the literary world on fire with his immortal poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade," which event took place on the field of Balaklava in the Russian Crimea. Countless millions of schoolchildren thrilled as they read of that dauntless band of just 607 Englishmen who rode "into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell," and all because "someone had blundered,"

*{<:f

About one-third of those men were killed, because "someone had blundered." Strange how history repeats itself, for in the last world war, a guy named Hitler made a blunder in that same Crimea that cost the lives of half-amillion Germans. We have never been told who made the blunder with the Light Brigade, but the German blunder lives in history.

BY JACK DIONNE

Cicero said that fools might try to improve on the Commentaries of Caesar, but no wise man ever would.

DEEP WISDOM is found in the words which the writer, William Saroyan, puts in the mouth of a female character in his book, "The Human Comedy." She is distinguishing between the words of the good and the bad man, and she says: "The good man will seek to take the pain out of things; the evil man will drive pain deeper into things."

In a world racked with pain, could you think of a more perfect mark to sfueef af-a philosophy more desirable than "taking the pain out of things ?"

A. Whitney criswota,l oJ"rrul". of Yale University, is credited with the following delightful human philosophy: "If you can't think of something nice, don't say anything; and if you can't think of anything, say something nice."

Disillusionment

The young man was a visitor in the city and his host took him out to a dance at the country club. His eye was caught by a perfectly adorable-looking girl. Face and form, she seemed angelic. He had never seen anything to compare with her.

He sought an introduction, her name was mentioned, the orchestra started, he asked her for the dance, she drifted into his arms, and they swung out on the floor. He had not even heard her voice but she danced like a wonderful vision in his arms. fle lost control and whispered ardently into her ear:

"Fairest maiden in all this world, tell me-tell me, f pray you-what, oh what can I do to win your favor?"

And the vision in his arms answered in a deep contralto voice:

"Treat me rough, kid ! Treat me rough !"

A fine -o r_ting in every department, the Pasatiempo annual marked the close of a booming year u"nder the leadership of Berkeley Wholesaler Paul Gaboury, who was due to relinquish his gavel at the club's annual Election tournament in San Jose on July 15.

As Reported in The California Lumber Merchant, August 15, 1955

F'or the fourth year, the Stanislaus Lumber Co., Modesto, was awarded first prize for its entry in the Commercial division of the 4th of July parade there. The photo shows B. L. Ustick, portraying a horseback Indian brave, and Jim.Gartln made up as a^n Indian squaw. Dealer Ustick writes "The Merchant" that their winning entry, "Indians on the Move," contained 4,000 feet of lumber on an old wagon drawn by four registered Belg'ians, and that he and Gartin spent considerable time with an Indian family they knew to make it authentic, "Squaw" Gartin carried a papoose and led a dog. The dealers believe that a cave-man entry is all that's left for them in future parades.

U.5. Plywood to Toke New Medco Plywood Output

New York-A manufacturing innovation for one firm and a new source of supply for another has been revealed by Alger Chaney, president of Medford Corporation, and Gene C. Brewer, United States Plywood president.

Medco, a pioneer lumber company headquartered in Chicago and holding more than a billion board feet of standing timber on the West Coast, is entering the plywood field for the first time with construction of a plant at Medford, Oregon. When completed in early 1961 if will be "the most efficient in the industry." the executives said.

U. S. Plywood's engineering and'operating know-how are helping to launch the plant, which is designed for an output of 7,000,000 square feet of fir plywood monthly.

A long-term sales agreement provides for U. 'S. Plywood's distribution of a major portion of the plant's production.

Hobbs Wall redwood has been right for grade and right for price, year after year, for over 94 years. That's why it can help build business for you. For mixed cars, straight cars or pool cars, check frst with your Hobbs Wall representative.

"With money rates easing, mortgage financing should be facilitated and we look for improvement in building activity during the months ahead," Mr. Chaney said. -'For Medford, this sales contract with one of the world's largest manufacturers and distributors of building materials means a ready market for our plywood."

Mr. Brewer pointed out that "Medco's entry into the plywood field will provide U. S. Plywood with another reliable source of supply to meet the increasing demand of our 125 sales branches and warehouses in maior markets throughout the country."

He added that fir plywood accounts for less than 40/a of his firm's gros. sili. which, in the year ending last April 30, topped $276 million.

When Dewey joined up with Suverkrup as a bookkeeper early in 1923 it was his second tour of employment, having spent a short time with Western Union before deciding he wanted to make lumber and wood products .his career. Being a white-collar worker, it was his duty to learn the business from the ground up, which he did. He handled administration and sales, procttrement, inventory and shipping.

But the big job to conquer was yard operations and uses of all materials, which he did with his usual effrciency. He worked in every department of the company, in every capacity, and in 1956 he took over managemellt of the Colton yard, where he is responsible for every phase of the business, including procurement, inventory control and, of course, profits.

Dewev is ablv assisted bv Gertrude Schuman in the office. His yard personnel of iix employes is in the capable hands of Joe Gomez, a 2)-year lumberyard veteran who watches the flow of lumber and also supervises the small

customer-service mill and the four delivery trucks and drivers.

The Suverkrup organization maintains retail lumber yards in Crestline, Riverside and San Bernardino in addition to the Colton retail outlet. J. E., H. F. and A. P. Suverkrup, owners of the firm, have been active in retail lumber yards for almost a half century and established the Colton branch in 1940. This yard has been active in the growth of this area since that time.

New Weyerhqeuser'Economy Cottoge' Offers Deolers Built-in Profits in 'Second-Home' llorket

The Weyerhaeuser Economy-Cottage program provides retail lumber dealers with a completely new approach to package selling in the booming market for cottages, cabins, vacation homes. and second homes.

Using a new system of building-developed by Weyerhaeuser especially for this program, and designed to fit in witl-r a dealer's regular operation-Economy Cottage shells have been erected and sold at retail for less than $2.75 per square foot, with full mark-up !

The system was professionally planned by Weyerhaeuser designers and consists of pre-built panels that are fabricated

in simple jigs. With this system of building, the dealer can sell cottages in any or all of these four different packages:

1. Completed shell cottages, erected at the site and finished inside and out to any stage requested.

2. Yard-built panels ready for erection, to provide the simplest possible assembly by the purchaser at the site.

The workman here puts the yard - fabricated window panel into position as part of the wall in a Weyerhaeuser Economy Cottage. Notice how top.plate of the left panel forms a lap joint with the stud of the window panel. After all wall panels are in place, a continuous 2x4 plate will be nailed on top of the panel plates, bringing the framing flush with the top edge of the plywood and tieing the panels together into a rigid unit.

Big 4'x8' sections go up fastan inexperienced crew erected a 20'x20' shell, with an 8'x20'patio under roof, in only 28Vt man hours.

3. Pre-cut materials for easy fabrication and assembly by customers.

4. Materials only for fabrication and assembly by builders and handy "do-it-yourselfers."

Panels consist of 4'x8' and 4'x4'plywood sheets with 2x4 framing applied. Only four easy-to-make jigs are required to build the 10 different types of panels that go into a cottage-and approximately @/o of the 2x4's used in fabricating the panels are less than 4' long !

Jigs assure accuracy of panel construction, so that panels can be built in advance and stockpiled for use at any timea perfect "foul weather" and fiIl-in job to keep yard employes occupied.

In other words, the Weyerhaeuser Economy-Cottage program is geared to create profit for the dealer at every step of the way. From the use of stock materials and short-length lumber, to the use of spare-time labor to (Continued on Page 37)

A completed roof panel is shown here being removed from a iig (only four,igs are required to fabricate the ten diff€rent types of panels used in each cottage).

LEFT: After gable panels and roof beams are in place, the structural shell of the cottage is quickly completed with installation of the big roof panels. The window frames and sash, door frfames and doors, and roofing are added to complete the enclosure. lf exterior type plywood is used in construction, the simple addition of battens at the vertical joints can serve as the permanent siding tor a truly economical cottage, or any of several beautiful wood sidings may be aPplied for more deluxe treatment.

Financing is hardly necessary for his prefabbed 16x20-ft. cabin package for $450.

The majority of his yard's customers erect the cabin shell themselves, but the yard will send out two of its employees to erect the job in half a day for an additional $60. Packages are delivered as far as 150 miles. His newspaper advertising (illustrated elsewhere) features the price, ease of construction, and invites them to see the model cabin in the yard (it is left unfurnished to make it appear larger).

The Washington dealer expects this season to ofrer a new 20x24-ft unit at $1000 for the structural shell but he believes the smaller cabin will alwavs be the sales leader.

The yard uses these methods in construction:

1. Stresses do-it-yourself building wherever possible.

2. Contractors (but offers no contractor's discount).

3. Shows model home.

The materials used in its cabin construction are mainly Douglas flr, Douglas flr plywood, white fir, and pine.

One-Stop Shopping and complete Packaged Service are the yard's mainstays in this type of trade. Service includes established truck runs (it sends two trucks a week into the mountain area) and personal delivery (some small orders have been trucked 30 miles into remote areas to maintain goodwill),

Credit policies include the usual 30-day discount, or the special terms listed in the main Conference story, or Revolving Credit, or Deed-of-Trust methods.

Glen-Mor Door Mfg. Co. Exponds Into lorger Phoenix Plonr

Phoenix, Ariz.-An y'':rizona industry which has supplied doors for some 200,000 homes in the Southwest-Glen-Mar Door Manufacturing Co.-has moved to new larger quarters, expanding: for the third time in a decade. Latest move, to 310 S. 43rd Ave., Phoe.nix, provides 3% times more area and has increased production more than \OOVo, according'to Aram Mardialr, president.

Glen-Mar sales cover Ar'zona-providing doors for a majoritj' of Arizona homes and even entire communities, such as San Manuel-and extend into New Mexico and'the El Paso area of Texas. Production. which Mardian rates in number of homes provided doors, has jumped from doors for 35 homes a day to 120 per day.

"At our first plant, opened in 1948, we turned out only enough doors for three to four homes in a day," Mardian recalls' "Although we were turning out a good product, our methods originally were fairly crude compared by today's standards. When we started we only had four or five men, and nearly every step was heavy hand labor-we used concrete blocks and nail kegs to weight down newly laminated doors."

Today's plant provides 30,000 square feet under roof and is located on a 'Yz-acre plot. It boasts 40 employes using gang rip saws, high-pressure glue applicators, hydraulic presses, and special heat and moisture control methods to maintain uniformity in the finished product.

"The secret is precise control in manufacture," Mardian says. "You could compare it to the Sanforizing process for cloth material."

Plant location in Phoenix's low-humidity climate is part of the answer, he explains. Even so, kiln-dried lumber is dried even further before being fully processed. Door materials-cores, laminates and glues-are "cured" in a temperature-and-humidity-

2,OOO Forestry Experts Gothering in Seottle for 5th World Congress

Two-thousand forestry experts from more than 50 nations will meet for two weeks in Seattle, Wash., starting Aug. 29, for the Fifth World Forestry Congress. This international meeting of forestry authorities-many of whom are world-f4116u5-is the first Congress for which the United States has been host and the first ever held in the Western Hemisphere.

The foresters will hear 200 authorities speak on every aspect of forestry from surveying virgin timber lands to developing new Llses for 'woods already reaching world markets.

Purpose of the Congress is twofold. It seeks to advance the sc-ience and practice of forestry through exchange of information and development of personal associations 'among the professionals of forestry throughout the world. It seeks also to stimulate and foster international cooperation in the proper development and use of the world's forest resources.

The meeting will be the largest international gathering of foresters ever held. In recognition of its importance, both the United States and the United Nations will issue commemorative stamps, and U.S. post offices will use special stamp cancellation dies.

- World Foiestry Congresses have been held periodically since 1926 when-the First Congress met in Rome, Italy. Subsequent Congresses were held in Budapest $ttglly' 1936: Helsinki. Finland.1949; and Dehra Dun, India, 1954.

The Congress program will cover all major fields of forestry and forest product utilization. Special attention will be given problems of multiple use of forest lands for the integrated production of timber, forage, water, wildfire, and recreation.

During the two weeks of daily meetings, exhibits will be displayed of logging and forestry tools, machinery and

Participation in the Congress is open to accredited government representatives; scientific, technical and educational organization representatives ; and interested individuals associated with the fields of forestry, forest conservation, and forest industry.

Of particular interest to delegates from outside the United States will be two pre-Congress and five post-Congress tours which have been planned to give foreign foresters a close look at American methods of growing and utilizing trees. The foresters on tour will see forest industries, forest research installations and forest resources in Canada, Alaska and in six other major forest regions of the United States.

John Osgood, incoming piresident of_Los.Angeles HooHoo Club 2, called a meeting of his Steering committee, Iulv 19, and plans were inaugurated to blast-off the Fall irog.a- early in September. Action will dominate the club

year, with a tremendous ne\M surge of activity that promises to make itself felt right out to the barbed-wire borders of the brother Clubs 3 in San Diego, 177 in Riverside county, and 31 in the San Joaquin Valley (if you're not-now active in any of those four clubs, they're mending the dragnets, lumbermen !).

Already set are the annual Christmas party for the -kids in December, at a prime new spot to be announced later by Snark Osgood, and the annual Dinner-dance for the girls in Februiry, for which the attractive attendance prizes are already being arranged.

First-class entertainment, with attractive vaudeville acts, will highlight every meeting this term, it is report.4, ltld the goF matches are to be arranged at the best obtainable clubs.

Members of the committee attending the July session included Snark Osgood, Dee Essley, Rex Oxford, Harold Cole-the immediate past Snark, Harvey Koll, Don Bufkin, Joe Petrash, Ole May, Chuck Lember, Itex Wells and Jim Dye.

(During his year in the respeeted office, Angeleno Koll has traveled far beyond the call of duty in kindling new enthusiasms for the Order among its members):

TO ALL REGIONAT OFFICERS, CLUB PRESIDENTS AND CLUB SECRETARIES, JURISDICTION VI

Thanks for all of the support you have given Hoo-Hoo and our jurisdiction. This will be my last general message to you as your Supreme Custocatian for 1959.60. lt has been a real pleasure to visit and become acquainted with those of you that I haver I wish that I had been able to visit with all of you.

Hoo-Hoo is a great organization. Here in Jurisdiction Vl we have a Hoo-Hoo organization that we can be very proud of. The thing that overwhelms me, though, is the potential which can lie ahead for Hoo.Hoo here and

throughout this country and Canada for the benefit of our forest products industry. With the objective clearly in sight and with our combined efforts, it's a natural!

We want the top people of all forest products fields in Hoo-Hoo, and we want them actively engaged in work for the benefit of the industry. The big objective which, at this moment, can unite our industry as nothing else, is W00D PRoMoT|oN. tO0-H00 can, and I believe will, play a key part in this. You will hear much more of this from International Hoo-Hoo.

Right now, I want to sum up immediate obiectives which I believe each club of Jurisdiction Vl should have, or should work for:

(1) Actively carry on our role as the one over-all organization of the forest Droducts industrles interested in the welfare ("the health, happiness, and long life") of all in the torest products field.

(2) Give constant attention and work io strengthening our membership and holding those we have. (Be prepared t0 g0 all-out on the big membership campaign to be conducted this fall.)

(3) Keep the membership strong and HoGHoo worthy by means of top leadership and member participation. not only in fellowship functions, but also in programs and activities of concrete benefit to Hoo-Hoo and its membership.

(4) Hq0-H00 has pledged its all-out help in furthering the NATIoNAL W00D PRoMoTl0N PRoGRAM. Each cluE should establish proiects in support of wood promotion.

(5) A natural role of Hoo-Hoo is as a public relations

medium for the good of the forest products industry. Each club should make an effort to become favorably'known throughout its area, through its activities and-through newspaper and trade-journal articles.

Each club should make a practice of sending articles and photos to (l) Hoo-Hoo Log and Tally (2) Trade Journals (3) Newspapers, when appropriate.

(6)..There is great value to inter.club meetings and activities.

(7) lt is desirable that each club should send a dele- gate to the annual Convention. This could be accomolished by reimbursing transportation only, Clubs should work toward this objective.

(8) lt is desirable that each club publish a roster of its membershlp.

(9) The position of Club Secretary is most yital to the continued growth and success of each club. The bir con. tribution this man makgs should be fully recocnized. Con. sideration should be given to the possibility ol remuneration, monthly or annually, for this job.

(10) | recommend that your immediate past presidents act on the Eoard of Directors and in the maioriti of cases the club should recommend him to serve ai Stite Deputy Snark.

Tiat's the message, Hoo-Hoo officers! please study each of the ten points carefully, and then-take it from-there, Here's wisiing each of you health, happiness and long llfe! Cordlally and fraternally, Harvey W, Xoll, /$ofo Supreme Custocatian.

Hordwood Exhibit Confinues fo Set Recordsi New Ponels Insrolled

Despite a record attendance 1n 1957 ol 2,366,68I persons (an increase of more than 5/o over 1956), April.visitors were 29/o greater than April 1957, and May showed an increase in visitors of. 17/o over May 1957.

In order to keep its best fa.ce forward, the Exhibit has been improved with a number of repairs in recent months. The big Model Room floor has been completely repainted. New transparent guards with'species identification have ro placed damaged ones on the hardwood lumber samples across from the Model Room. In the Skeezix Section, three new scrims have been installed to replace damaged ones. New sample panels in yellow poplar, claro walnut and French walnut have been installed in the collection around the globe.

The Hardwoods Exhibit is open every day except Christmas Day and continues to work hard and efiectively for the industry 364 days a year.

The Exhibit is one of our industry's most complete showcases of beautiful hardwoods. It is doing a job for everyone -buyer, seller, manufacturer, designer and architect. Regardless of proposed publicity campaigns, here we have an accomplished project that is showing genuine, tangible returns on a very modest investment,

Make a point to visit the Exhibit whenever you can, and encourage your friends, who may be coming to Chicago, to make a trip to the Museum.

TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF TR.EE FARMING IN REDWOOD REGION TO BE

Specicl to: The CAIIFORNIA lUtlBER MERCHANT

On August 26th, the first tree farm in the Redwood Region-Van Duzen Unit Number One of the former Hammond Lumber Comoanv-will be ten years old.

That isn't ,rery old--as redwoods grow-but the tree farm program in the Redwood Region has become quite a "broth of a boy," as the late George B. Mcleod, recipient of certificate number one, would have put it.

In that brief ten years, the number of tree farms in the region has grown to 108 (most of them in small ownerships) with a total acreage of close to 600,000 (largest units of which are in industrial ownership). Taxes are paid on all tree-farm operations in California-there is no deductible angle here !

Let's take a look backward to August 26, 1950:

In a letter dated April 11, 1950, from George B. Mcleod, president of Hammond Lumber Company, to the California Redwood Association (certifying agency for tree farms in the Redwood Region), application was made to have the "Van Duzen Block" certified as "Van Duzen Unit of the Hammond Lumber Company Tree Farms." It was described as comprising "a total of 16,397 acres, of which 11,998 acres are classified as old growth timberland, 4,188 acres as harvested land, and 221 acres as open meadow. The virgin stand is approximately 90/o redwood and lO/o DQ.tglas fir and white 'fir, and contains a total of 974,000,000 board feet."

The application went on to detail cutting and logging practices since 1935, what fire protection and grazing controls had been taken, assured cooperation "with neighboring forest owners and with the California Division of Forestry to promote better forest protection and better forest management for all concerned" and ended with this statement:

"It is t[e policy of the Hammond Lumber Company,

with regard to the Tree Farm program, to manage its lands on as close to a continuous production basis as possible, so as to perpetuate our operations in Humboldt county and thereby to contribute to the economic stability of the Redwood Industry."

(There's the basic philosophy behind the Redwood Region Tree Farming-and it has been carried on by the present owners of Tree Farm No. l-the Georgia-Pacific Corporation.)

5O-Millionth Tree-Fqrm Acre

Atmore, Alabama (Spectal)-The natlon's 5O-milllonth Tree Farm acre w&s formally dedicated at ceremonles near this southern Alabama town Ma,y 18, in the Lltfle Rlver State ['orest, 15 miles north of Atmore. A la,rge attendance of forestry and goverrrment ilignitaries was present to honor Treo Farmer Ktmbrell Cunningham of Atmore as he roceivod a certificate for his tra.ct which contains the b0millionth Treo Fa,rm acre ln the United Sta,tes. ilohn H. Ifinman, New York, president of American Forest products Industrles, Inc., sponsor of the Amerlca,n Treg Farm System, was tho foa,tured speaker. Hlnma,n is chairman of the board. Interna,tlonal Paper Co.

The milestone ceromony is of special slg'nlficanco to the forest industries ln Ala.bama, for lt was in this state that the country's first organized Tree Farm program was launched on April 2, L942. Before 1942 ended, seven sta,tes had enrolled in the nationwido progra,rn, sponsored by Amerlcan Forest Products Industrles, Washington, D. C.

From his longleaf pine trees, Cunningham ha,s realized several cash crops, ln the form of such products as treated fence posts, old-fashioned Hght wood fence posts, rallroad crossties and shingles. He has also found a mercha,ntable supply of dried, perfectty shaped longleaf pine cones, in demand for holiday decorations.

due ac_tion by the CRA Tree Farm Committee, the plans for a dedication ceremony got under way, with able direction by that past-master of Public Relations and former companion of Ex-President Herbert Hoover, Ben S. Allen. Flandsome invitations were prepared and sent to a selected list of national, state, and region ofificials, press and radio representatives, and citizens.

BRAEE

_ A special overnight train of the Northwestern pacific Railroad departed from San Rafael on the evening of Au_ gust 25, and the dedication day saw hundreds of parlicipants and spectators in the parklike-Hammond Grove of redwoods on the Van Duzen River, three miles East of Carlotta on Highway 36. Principal speaker was Chief Justice Earl War_ ren-.then g-overnor of California. Receiving the Tree Farm Certificate for the Hammond Lumber Cdmpany was the late George B. Mcleod. Other speakers *..., Wiiliam S. Bosecrans, chairman of State Board of Forestry; the late 9!.. R, Johnson of Union ! umber Company, president of CRA (his son has succeeded him as presiderii oi CRA ana his company now has the largest acr-eage in tree farms).

_ Today, a recent re-inspection of Tree F'arm No. 1 by CRA Forester Fred Landenberger, with G-p's Forester'A. H. Merrill reports, "Cutover lands look good . . There is an excellent lea.ve of good quality trees following marking and remarkably little slash the area continues to have ither heavy recreational use. Several campgrounds are maintained on the property by the .o-p"ry,"and the lfammond Grove contlnues to be used by larger groups. No change in tree farm status is recommended.'i

Of castles made of air, To be rebuilded every day And dwell in fancy there With everything to make me glad, The doors all closed to gloom, The sunshine of toirorrow

Shining info every room, Than ever keep within the walls Of sad things, past and now; For, though my castles do not last, They're cheering, anyhow. And so I build and build again, Rebuild from day to day, Some time the Master Builder May let my castles stay.

How Old ls Golf?

Nobody knows, but King Solomon played the game as far back as 1012 B. C. He was a chairman of the handicapping committee, and had to deal with the same kind of [ickirs we have today, and on one occasion complained that a "A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes."-(Proverbs 18:6).

ln 1457 A. D., golf had become so popular in Scotland that the people wlre forbidden to play it, because of its interference with the practice of archery, which was needed for national defense. In 1491 King James the Fourth ordered the arrest and fine'o&allyone playing this "unprofitable game." The oldest golf club in the world is that of Blackheath, near London, England, the date being 1608, or 168 years before the U. S. A. was officially on the map.

When the Americans did take it up, however, they made it step. We have about 5,000 golf courses in this country, and are building new ones at the rate of about 400 a year.

There are over four-millions of'Americans playing golf, and we hold all the world's titles.

The service past, around the pious man With ready zeal each honest rustic ran; E'en children followed with endearing wile, And plucked his gown, to share the good man's smile. His ready smile a parent's joy expressed, Their welfare pleased him, and their cares distressed; To them his heart, his love, his griefs were given, But all his serious thought had rest in HeavenAs some tall cliff that lifts its awful form Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm, Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.

Those seeking an unbeatable example of courage and ambition would do well to consider the history of an American woman, the mother of one of our Presidents. Rutherford B. Hayes was a posthumous child, born three months after his father died. He was so much of a weakling that his life was despaired of by everyone-except his mother. She refused to give him up to what seemed certain oblivion.

And when the days were darkest, she would defiantly declare: "You wait and see: I shall not only raise him, but I shall make him President of the United States !" That weak baby served through the Civil War, came out a General and, on March t5, t877, he was inaugurated President of the United States. Surely, here was one case where "Mother knows best."

MANY GREAT LADIES have been briefly memorialized in these columns, some have even entered and highgraded the White House in Washington. Take for example Mrs. James Knox Polk, who was the wife of President James Polk. Her wit, her charm, her manner, and her manners made her a distinguished lady in any group. Her husband won the Presidency from that great Kentuckian, Henry Clay. It was at a sparkling White House dinner that Mrs. Polk seated Henry Clay at her side. He was his usual charming, conversational self. In his most polished manner, he smilingly said to her: '1Madam, all agree in commending in the highest terms your administration of the domestic affairs of the White Flouse. But as for that young gentleman (nodding toward Polk), I cannot say as much."

In the same good humor, she replied: "Indeed I am glad to hear that my administration is popular, and in return for your compliment, I will say that should the country elect a Whig next fall, I know of no one whose elevation would please me more than that of Henry Clay," Smart woman, that Mrs. Polk.

Olympic Sroined Products Go. Bought By Seofile Cedor Mf

Olympic Stained Products Co., Seattle, one of the largest manufacturers of stains and prestained woods in ttre nation, has changed ownershiP after more than a quarter-centurY of single ownership by Philip W. Bailey. The new owners are executives of Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Co., headed by Alan F. Black, the new president of Olympic, and John N. Anderson (right), promoted to executive vice-president and g:eneral manager and who has been in charge of Olympic production for the past nine years. Bailey has been appointed to

the board of directors. The sale was effective JulY 1.

Olympic was founded in 1934 and Seattle Cedar in 1899. Both companies have a nationwide distribution system. Seattle Cedar is the largest single producer of clear cedar lumber in the world and manufactures both shingles and lumber. Although both companies will maintain their separate identities, there will be a close liaison between the Maltese Cross and

the Olympic bralds.

George Oistad continues as Olympic general sales manager. David M. Hughes continues as stain sales manager.

Oistad said Olympic stain will continue to be aggressivelY advertised and promoted. He said the rapid sales growth of the stain line with the addition of new penetrating wax stains had moved Olympic to the forefront in the quality-stain sales picture.

BARKING WATERS

Up until comparatively recent times, bark was considered a necessary hindrance in sawmilling, a rough, useless skin which had to be removed by a saw and disposed of in the easiest way possible.

But things have changed. In today's modern West Coast mills, a log traveling the unalterable course toward the head rig: is as bald and barkless as a wood doorknob. The log loses its covering (but never its dignity) to a hydraulic barker, the most modern method of bark removal in the sawmilling industry.

To watch and hear this machine at work is an awesome experience.

West Coast Lumbermen's Association

removed. Although the bark flies from hell to breakfast, it is not wasted. Almost all of the bark is recovered and sent to the mill's bark products plant, for use in adhesives, moulding compounds, oil-well drilling fluids or mulch.

But this is not the only reason for barking a log. A barked log permits the head sawyer to better position it for the head saw, allowing him to get a better cut. Also, the elimination of bark allows chips used for pulp to be handled with more speed and less waste. Barkless logs afford a cleaner miII all around and help to reduce the fire hazard,. Contrary to what one may think, a log without bark is no easier to saw than one "vith bark.

Nor is one species easier to bark than anothel'. Thickness of the bark, of course, depends on the age of the tree. Old-growth West Coast hemlock, for instance, has a thick, horny bark which, due to the added resistance it offers to the jets of water, comes off easier and in larger chunks than the comparatively smooth and thin covering of a second growth hemlock.

Old-time sawmillers, however, claim they can detect a difference in the ease of barking between a log that has been in the pond for some time and one that hasn't had much float time.

Two oscillating jets, set in a trough, direct their powerful streams against the logs at a force of 1200 lbs. per square inch. The average fire hose, used for every- thing from quenching blazes to quelling riots, has a nozzle pressure of 110 lbs. per square inch.

Some interesting facts are toid among sawmill workers about the hydraulic barker and its power. Occasionally, a log will get hung up on the barker, and can't be revolved or moved forward or backward. The result is that each water jet actually drills its own hole through the log, keeping it up until the hole goes through the log or until the water is turned off.

In normal operation, however, the log moves forward and revolves simultaneously, while its bark is quickly and cleanly

The hydraulic barker does have its limitations, all dependent upon the weight and shape of the log. The barker in the illustration will take logs up to about 25 tons, or 24 feet long' and 85" in diameter. In the West Coast region, a log of this size will almost always be Douglas fir, although Western red cedar and Sitka spruce have treen known to grow this large.

If a log is larger or heavier than this, it is taken from the pond and quartered lengthwise, usually by sawing, and the quarters are then barked separately and sent to the mill. Logs with unusually large burls on their exterior or with some uncut Iimbs also bypass the barker.

If a log' is too small, say 16 feet long and 24" in diameter, the water jets will actually ftip the log, end for end, and create havoc throughout the whole barking operation.

Hydraulic pressure is generated by a 600 h.p. electric motor powering a centrifugal-type pump. The water used is flltered river water. Filtration is necessary due to the fine silt and residue found in the water, which. if allowed to enter' the nozzels, would actually eat them away in a matter of hours, due to the abrasive action it would have.

Hydraulic barking points out the two most important principles under which the lumber manufacturing industry is working todaystriving for the ultimate in complete utilization of the tree and the achievement of the most modern means of sawmill mechanization.

Wide Support for NFPW Among Industry GrouPs

Henry Clepper, executive secretary of the Society. of American Foresters, announced recently at his organization's board of directors meeting in Grand Isle, Louisiana, that the association will give its wholehearted support to National Forest Products Week. The directors endorsed the program and recommended strong section and chapter participation in local activities emphasizing the. important place of the forestry profession in managing lands to insure i permanent supply of forest products for the use and benefit of the American people. The Journal of Forestry, official Society publication, will publish NFPW news items and program activities during the coming months.

Forest Service to Assist

In response to an invitation from Hoo-Hoo International for Unitid States Forest Service participatiori in NFPW, Richard E. McArdle, chief forester, offered his agency's assistance wherever possible. United States Forest Service activities for NFPW will be handled by Clint Davis, director of information.

McArdle said in his reply, "The service has a long tradition of cooperation with the forest products industries in research on wood uses, forest management and in the marketing of wood products. Growing and placing of sustained yields of national forest stumpage on the market for more thau half a century has made the national forests one of the principal sources of raw materials for the wood using industries. In addition, for decades the Forest Service has been actively encouraging better management and utilization of the small, pilvately owned woodlands of America, 'lvhose chief markets are the forest industry. We are, therefore, interested in any activity undertaken to promote wood products and better forest management."

ular Bureau grade stamp with its identifying shield, and will be used on board and framing lumber when requested by the buyer.

The species stamps are being issued for Douglas fir, West Coast Hemlock, Western red cedar, Sitka spruce and White fir.

As has been industry practice for many years, certain of the true firs will continue to be grouped with hemlock' Included are'California red fir, Grand fir, Noble fir and Pacific silver fir. These true firs, among the most prized species found on the Pacific Coast, commonly grow in intermingled stands with hemlock, and are virtually identical in appearance. They have similar strength properties, take similar spans, are graded for similar stress values, and have long been used interchangeably with hemlock in construction.

Also in accordance with usual industry practice, White fir (Concolor), which is becoming increasingly popular in marikets of ttLe United States, will continue to be identified as White fir.

It will be 90 days or more before the new grades can be produced and distributed, and the new species stamps issued, announced the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau on August 8.

SCRTA Foll Conference Colled Off

The board of directors of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn., meeting in a special session July 13, decided by a vote of 8 to 7 without the president participat- ing in the vote, not to hold the scheduled llth Annual Retail Lumber Dealers Conference next month.

The reasons given were (1) the added expenses might cause some dealers to have to miss the NRLDA Exposi- tion in San Francisco, Nov. 13-16; (2) Palm Springs is very hot in September and the city would hold little attraction then for the dealers' wives, and (3) Santa Catalina Island is only accessible by steamship, yacht or airpla1e, which might preclude some members from attending a Conference there.

Two Elernenfs of Srrccess

Some truly wise man has said that two fundamental and infallible rules for business success are:

First-always be on the level.

Second-always be on the job.

Some more cynical critic has said that an honest and active man SHOULD be successful-he has so little competition.

Certain it is that a man possessed of those two fine characteristics is always in demand.

The first question that every man asks concerning another is -1'Is he thoroughly honest and dependable?"

Everything else is necessarily secondary. If he is the least bit inclined to be shady in his ideas of integrity, he has already undermined the usefulness of any other valuable assets he may possess. And if he isn't thoroughly reliable and dependable he is closely akin to being crooked, because undependability and rascality are first cousins so far as their effect on the rest of the world is concerned.

Some rules that have been voiced throughout the world's history have had their debaters and doubters, but the rule

Ganahl Lumber Co., Los Angeles, will be pleased to know that Mrs. Ganahl reports his satisfactory convalescence following major surgery July 19 in Saint Vincent's hospital. The veteran lumber dealer became ill while touring Europe this year and was advised by a doctor friend there to return home and enter the hospital, which he did and underwent the first minor surg:ery July 6.
