THE CALIFORI\IA

The Case for Uniformity . . . But !

The versatile old 2x4, backbone of America's building industry, is on the verge of shrinking again-this time to a r,r'idth of Lf", in the case of dry lumber. Along with the proposed changes in lumber sizes, the Special Committee on Grade Simplification and Standardization of NLMA proposes a uniform grade for all species.

The case for uniform grades and sizes-regardless of specie- is strong. But a serious question is involved in the further reduction of alreadv scant thicknesses. In establishing a iode of uniform manufacture, should dry /q" boards be further reduce<l to S/sn'thickness? Should dry V'be reduced to 7f" thickness ?

And the big question: What will happen when certain manufacturers

continue to produce "old" sizes of lumber? Will the retail lumber dealer be forced to stock both "New" and "Old" sizes ?

\Are are vitally interested in seeing uniform grades and sizes applied to all lumber. The only question is what size should a 2x4 really measttre?

We would like to hear from you, Mr. Dealer-the man who buys and stocks lumber for resale-on this important subject. The time of decision is close. The American Lumber Standards Committee is expected to accept or reject the new recommended sizes, on the basis of comments reecived. at a meeting in Washington, D. C., next month.

It has become apparent in the last

two weeks that a great deal of controversy has arisen over the proposed changes in lumber size standards, to be considered by the American Lumber Standards Committee. Read, in this issue, the stands taken by WCLA and WCLIB on the West Coast, by the Greater New York Lumber Industries, In,c., on the East.

Within the Southern California ar,ea, it is reported that a surprisingly large majority of retail dealers are in opposition to the changes. The National Retail Association, we understand, has stated that only when the lumber manufacturers are in agreement on the program as a whole should it be submitted to the industry for consideration and approval.-Editor.

"A Real Smasher" is the way the upcoming 71st Annual Hoo-Hoo convention in Chicago is described by Convention Chairman Har.old M. Elliot. He is a member of Chicago Hoo- Hoo 29, the host club. for tfre Sept. 16-19 get-together.

'fhe Tuesday morning session will be a symposium on Wood Promotion that will include leading authorities of NLMA and other industry associations. For the ladies a special program has been arranged.

For Tuesday afternoon and evening the convention will have an unusual feature. Afternoon and evening activities will be optional. To help the conventioneers and their ladies enjoy what they most would like to do and see in the Windy City a bevy of special committees have been set up to help out for tickets to baseball g'ames, theatrical performances, the race track and even to getting entree into the night clubs on Rush Street. If all you want is just a quie't place to dine out, just ask the committee, they can point you in the right direction.

Tuesday evening will be for the committee sessions: Resolutions. Administration, Legislation, The Good of the Order, and Nominations. The clubs of each jurisdiction must caucus to get united action on nominees for the Suoreme Nine.

Wednesday morning will go for discussion and thought on the special committee report on the status of HooHoo in the National and International Wood Promotion program. Also reporting at this time will be the Committees on Legislation and Good of the Order. Time is being allowed for discussion from the floor.

The Honorable Edward J. Derwinski will speak at Wednesday noon's Stag Luncheon, on present policies affecting the business economy. Congressman Derrvinski represents the Illinois district in Washington and is a member of the llouse Small Business Committee.

Election of a new Snark and Supreme Nine will be held Wednesday afternoon and will be followed by the impressive ceremony, Embalming of the Snark. It is the one business event to which the ladies are invited. Close on the heels of this event will be the Snark's Reception and Closing Banquet.

And to wrap up the convention will be a grand finale ball that will be "Grand" in the best sense of the word. No ordinary convention dinner this. Called the "Wood Choppers Ball" the dinner will have surprises galore, both in format and entertainment. Color, fun and frolic will be the rule. This grand and glorious finale is the don'tmiss-it event of the year.

A. B. Hood, Leoding Lumber Figure, Dies in Son Froncisco

Arthur Bristow Hood,68, Chairman of the Board of the National Lumber tr{anufacturers Association and an active member of the lumber industry for 50 years, died July 20 in San Franiisco, California, following a cancer operatlon.

Mr. Hood, a leading figure in the lumber industry for rnany yea.rs, had retired last fall as Resident Manager, Ralph I-. Smith Lumber Company, Division of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Anderson, California. Since his retirement, he had been serving as a consultant to the firm.

As the first Chairman of the National Lumber Manufactrrrers Association. \{r. Hood was largely responsible for organizing the diverse elements of his industry into a single, cohesive force capable of combating the market inroads of such competitive materials as steel, brick, aluminum and plastics.

Mr. Hood's caree,r in the lumber industry began as a car loader for the Warren-Lamb Lumber Company, Rapid City, S.D. He subsequentiy worked his rvay up through yard foreman, mill superintendent, logging superintendent, and sales manag-i, to the post of general manag.er.

In 1943 the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company selected him to head its western operations. With the evolu-

tion of the Smith Company's Anderson operation, IlIr. Hood was commissioned to head it and remained as Resident Manager after its acquisition by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation of Neenah, Wisconsin.

Mr. Hood was a leader in the Western Pine Association since the early thirties and was a Director for more than a dozen years. In 1953 he was elected Vice-President and in 1957, President of that association.

In 1959, Mr. Hood was unanimously elected Chairman of the newly-formed National Wood Promotion Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, a post he held for tu'o consecutive years.

In 1960 he was elected President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and the following year, Chairman of the Board. His other associations with NL\{A have been as a Director. Policy Committee member and a member of the Economic Council of the Lumber Industry.

lfe was a member of the Society of American Foresters; Forest Products Research Society; U. S. Forest Service Region Five Advisory Council; International Order of Hoo-Hoo, and Region 12 Executive Committee of the Boy Scouts of America.

Mr. Hood also held membership in

the Redding, California, Chambe-r of Commerce and was a f)irector of the Natural Resources Committee, Sacramento Council, California State Chamber of Commerce. His other directorships included the Shasta C_ountY Economic Commission, the Shasta County Fair Board, and the Keep California Green Association.

Mr. Hood is survived by his wife, the former Vera l\larie lJtter, a daughter and a son. Funeral services wer€ held Tuesday, July 24 in Redding.

New Method Cuts Cost, Boosts Performance Of Strip Oak Floors Over Concrere Slabs

A new cost-cutting method for installing hardwood strip floors over concrete, without rrse of wood subfloors. offers substantial savings to builders and superior floor performance for owners of basementless homes built on concrete slabs.

The system, developed by the Florida Flooring Co., Oak Lawn, Ill., has been employed with highly satisfying results in more than 200 Chicago area homes within the last year. It a-lso has been field-tested in Memphis, Tenn., by the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association, which has ap- proved the method.

Accepted also by the Federal Housing Administration, the technique involves use of a double layer of I x 2-

inch u'ood sleepers nailed together, with a moisture barrier of 4 mil polyethylene film between them. The bottom layer of sleepers is secured to the slab by a latex mastic applied with a caulking gun and by concrete nails. The strip hardwood flooring then is nailed at right angles to the sleepers, rvith one nail at each bearing point.

Before the slab is poured, a 4 mrl polyethylene film is placed directly over the base course or fill. This prevents rise of ground moisture into the slab.

Charles Bennett, owner of Florida Flooring, terms the method a major advance over the system now commonly used in rvhiih the flooring is nailed to 2 x 4-inch sleepers arranged

in a staggered pattern.

"Formerly it cost us 30 cents per square foot to ready the slab for the oak flooring," Mr, Bennett says. "That perhaps was higher than the figure for contractors in many other sections of the country, since Chicago is among the highest price areas for labor and materials. But according to our information the cost even in the lower price areas averag'es at least 15 cents a square foot. Our cost under the new system is about 7 cents p,er square foot. or less than one-fourth the former figure.

"The savings arises from two factors: I x 2s cost only about half as much as 2 x 4s; the sleepers and the polyethylene film can be put down much faster. In the older approve'd method the moisture barrier installation alone requires far more time. It involves treating the slab first with an asphalt primer, then applying a 'sandr.r'ich' of hot asphalt, a layer of 15-lb. asphalt saturated felt and another coat of hot asphalt.

"As a result of our savings we are able to quote Chicago area builders a complete price of 54 to 58 cents per square foot for strip oak flooring installed over concrete slabs. That price is for 25/32 x 2fu-inch Select grade red oak, and includes sanding and finishing."

Money Saving Possibilities

The money saving possibilities should be especially appealing to project builders of single unit dwellings and to builders cf apartment houses, says Henry H. Willins, executive vice president of the oak flooring group.

"In a 1,500 square foot area, for instance," he points out, "the cost of preparing the slab for the hardwood flooring under the older method rang'es from $225 at the lS-cent per foot cost to $450 at the 3O-cent figure. Mr. Bennett's cost of 7 cents per foot under the new method comes io $105 for 1.500 feet and therefore represents savings from 53 per cent to more than 76 per cent.

"On this basis a builder erecting 100 slab-on-ground houses annually and equipping them with oak floors by the older method could effect savings from $1,200 to as much as $34,500 by adopting the new method. The benefits to a small scale builder, of course, would be proportionate. He could save from $120 to $345 per house, depending upon costs in his area."

WCLA and WCLfB Support National Program

A national program for gr-ade simplifioation and standardization of softwood lumber as proposed by the NLMA special committee will be vigorously supported by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau.

This announcement was made bv G. Cleveland Edgett, executive vice pi"esident of WCLIB, in view of the recent action of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau in rejecting the NLMA proposals.

The NLMA program calls for uniform standards for softwood lumber to make merch.andising of the several species sold nationally easier and to aid the user of softwood lumber in specifying and using this material.

The program recommended by the special NLMA committee and subsequently approved by the WCLA board of trustees on July 20 and the executive committee of WCLIB on Tulv 19 provides for uniform grade names for finish lumber. for boards and for di-

mension. It establishes sepa.rate sizes for seasoned and unseason,ed lumber and provides for simplified span tables.

The national grade program, which has evolved over the last two years., recognizes that unseasoned lumber from the Douglas fir region has proved highly satisfactory in use. We insist, Edgett stated, that existing size standards for green lumber be maintained. We do agree, he added, that there is a technically sound basis for introducing reduced sizes for dry lumber in order to provide equivalent performance.

We will oppose, said Edgett, arry effort to modify or change the program rvhich was ten,tatively approved by representatives of the regional associations making up the National Lumber Manufacturers Association earlier.

Edgett said the western groups would also oppose a revived proposal of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau which would require:

1) Unseasoned lumber to be surfaced oversize.

2) Unseasoned lumber be so identified on the grade stamp.

3) Seasoned lumber be restricted to a maximum oL I9/. moisture content.

A meeting of the NLMA executive committee and the NWPP steering committee will be held on August 20 and it is expecited, according to Edgett, that these matters will be thoroughly discussed at that time.

"\\re do not intend to back down," Edgett warned. "We do not intend to allow unreasonable roadblocks to be erecte'd to prevent the sale of our West Coast species either in seasoned or unseasoned form. We have a good product and the nation's lumber buvers deserve the choice of buying eiiher seasoned or unseasoned lumber without penalty."

Lumber retailers, wholesalers, specifiers and other users will have an ample opportunity to review and discuss the proposed simplification and standardization program before it is finally adopted. The program has been before the manufacturers during the past two years at a number of meetings on the local, regional and national level. It is proposed to take the final program out again into the manufacturing regions this fall. All elements will have a chance to express their opinions when the final program after approval by the American Lumber Standards Committee is referred back to the trade for balloting by the Department of Commerce, Edgett pointed out.

ln Dwelling Unit Sfqils

Dwelling unit construction starts in the Los Angeles metropolitan area are running five percent higher than the national averag'e and this lead is expected to grow even larger by the end of the decade.

Dwelling unit construction starts are predicted by the Chamber's Research Committee to increase 41.8 percent by 1970 to an estimated 117,000 new units a year!

National average increase by l97O will be 36.7 per cent, or 1,750 units, according to the Committee.

Home building through the two-county area-and the construction of schools, churches and commercial buildings which serve the homes' occupants-has for many years contributed greatly to the eco,nomy of the Southland.

Norm wendt" u"n" courch.ine

In I96f, builders started 82,500 new dwelling units, to laad the nation's metropolitan areas in such construction.

The Committee's projections are computed on the basis of latest population projections and the history of building activities in the two-county area.

The New York, New Jersey, Greater New York Area, the only similar area close to Los Angeles' 1960 residential construction starts, reported U,370 starts that year.

In 1960, value of builder-controlled co'nstruction throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area was reported at $1, 190,000,000 f or new residential construction ; $3 10,000,000 for remodeling; and $524,000,000 for construction of new, light non-residential buildings.

The Chamber's Research Committee forecasts a 51.26 percent rise by l97O in the value of new residential construction to $1,800,000,000. And, an 80.65 percent increase in remo'deling value is forseen, to $560,000,000.

home improvement projects as room additions built on concrete slabs. Experienced do-it-yourselfers, Mr. Willins adds, should find the method easy.

"The moisture barrier arrang'ement," he explains, "is unusually effective. The polyethylene film between the two layers of sleepers is separated from the slab by a one-inch dead air space and from the hardwood floor by another inch of dead air space. These

materially aid the polyethylene in preventing the rise of moisture from the slab into the flooring. The combination of air spaces and film reduces to virtually an absolute minimum the danger of excessive expansion and subsequent shrinkage of the flooring under the influence of heat. The hardwood retains an exceptionally high degree of dimensional stability.

Air Spaces

"The air spaces also serve importantly as added insulation, retarding entrance of cold air from the slab and escape of warm air from the floor. The total effect is warm, dry floors and ease of heating in winter."

One of the first apartment house builders to employ the system is E. R. Corley Associates, 3012 West Devon Ave., Chicago, .:vho recently madre a last rninute switch to the method in one room of a 3-story, lo-apartment structure nearing completion in the Rogers Park area.

"We would have used the system in several other rooms had we known about it sooner," says Emmett B. Corley, a partner. "It appears to have a great deal of merit."

The firm built 110 apartment units on Chicago's far north side and in adjoining Evanston during 1961, including 11 town houses. ft expects to put up about 210 units this year. Occasionally the firm sells a building upon completion but most buildings are retained as rental properties.

Tenants O.K. Oak

"We use strip oak floors in about 90 per cent of our apartments," Mr. Corley says. "\Me have found that they help attract tenants. People generally are very favorably impressed with an apartment when they see it has beautiful floors of oak. This is really quite a selling point in renting apartments. Families like the warmth and beauty of oak floors, and they appreciate the foot comfort such floors provide, as contrasted lvith hard, unyielding surfaces."

In most of the firm's 1961 units, which were predominantly walk-up apartments, the strip oak floors were installed over conventional wood joist construction. \A/here concrete bases rvere involved, the firm employed the 2 x 4 staggered sleeper .ystetn "s t nailing surface for the oak or simply put down composition tile over the concrete.

"Because of the universal appeal of oak floors," NIr. Corley adds, "we prefer to install them in all rooms except the kitchen and bath. We plan to use the new nailing strip method extensively this year where concrete slab bases are involved, and we are looking forward to the considerable saving the system offers."

Once again, the mammoth Northern California Lumbermen's Golf Touinament will be held at the Sierra View Country Club in Roseville, Messrs. George Duff and Cecil Schiffner handling all tournament details with their usual professional care. The big tournament, the Seventh Annual in as many years, will be held on September 7, the day b,efore the Fourth Annual Forest Products Day at the California State Fair and Exposition.

Although it is too early to guess attendance, early estimates point to an attendance similar to the 1960 tournament at which 197 golfers made the rounds of the excellent Sierra View Club, and over 240 attended the banquet. As before, the green fees will be $15.00 and the social and banquet will come to a very reasonable $7.00.

The golfers will be afforded the opportunity to play on one of the finest 18 hole courses in Central and Northern California. Complete facilities of the club will be available to both golfing and non golfing entrants. First tee-off will start at 8:00 a.m. and the tournament will be run on established or club handicaps. Players not presenting handicap cards will be placed in calloway.

Foursome's whenever possible 'rvill be recognized when submitted in advance. Otherwise, foursome's will be grouped according to handicaps. Please send all advance registration information to Northern California Lumbermen's Tournament, P.O. Box 752, Auburn, Calif.

As no expenses other than printing and mailing costs are retained in the "Kitty," the tournament managers €xpect to give away over 50 trophies in addition to several door prizes. And there are prizes for non-golfers too, so come along and collect your "loot."

Promotion for Colifornis's Forest Products Doy

Mr. and Mrs. C. D. LeMaster of Sacramento were visitors to E,ureka on July 19 as a promotional team for Forest Products Day at the California State Fair, September 8.

A group of Eureka lumber people met fo,r dinner, rvith Dave Da"vis of Georgia-Pacific Corp. extending a welcome to the LeMasters. LeMaster urged the lumbermen to support and attend the Forest Products Dav Activities, and stressed the publii relations value of the banquet where industry leaders from throughout the State have an opportunify to meet and

exchange ideas.

Elaine Walker of Humboldt County Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club #9 advises that their club will have at least six members attending and hope to have at least two gids entering the Queen contest.

Companies who wish to suppo,rt Forest Products Day are asked to send their contributions to Forest Products Day, 1080 Los Molinos W,ay, Sacramento 25. California.

The Welcome tYlql is Our United States Plywood reports welcoming 10,000 visitors a day to its "House of the Immediate Future" at

the Seattle World's Fair.

The company expects over two million people will see their home exhibit stressing Weldwood Products.

Two featur,e articles about the home in the "This 'Week" section of many California papers have added to local retail interest which the company will pursue with a promotional campaign in its Northwestern Division.

This campaign to dealers of direct mail folders and broad colorful banners will emphasize the spotlight "This Week" and periodical national magazines such as "House and Home" have focused on this exciting house for immediate living.

Bill Broley Appointed Credir Mgr. for Angelus Hqrdwood

Announcement has been made by Bill Smith, president Angelus Hardrvood Co., of the appointment of Wm. G. "Bill" Braley as credit manager for the longtime Los Angeles wholesale hardwood firm.

A graduate of the University of Pittsbtrrgh in 1949, Bill Braley began in the lumber business in 1950 with E. K. Wood Lumber Co. as assistant credit manag'er. He joined the lumber sales division of Roddiscraft in 1955 as general credit manag'er of the four offices in California, Oregon and Texas. Since the closing of the lumber

sales division of Roddis, Bill has been associated with Richard Fenton and Co. as an associate consultant in various lines of business in Southern California.

Bill Braley was one of those who in the mid-fif ties helped establish the Wholesale Lumbermens Association of Southern California. In 1959 he received the National Institute of Credit Fellowship Award.

Bill Would Aid Lumber Shippers

A revised bill to allow Pacifi,c Northwest lumber producers b .-hip lumber to U. S. East Coast ports on foreign vess,els under certain conditions has been approved by the Senate Commerce Committee.

The bill, by Senator Warren G. lVlagnuson (Dem.-Wash.), chairman of the committee, was wolked out in line with President Kennedy's six-point prog.ram to help the depressed lumb,er industry.

The legislation would give lumber shippers a limited and temoorary exemption from provisions of the Jones Act, whi-ch requires American Flag vessels in the U. S. coastal trade.

The exemption would expire on January 31, 1964. Until then l_u_mber shippers could use foreign flag vessels :

l. When no domestic water carriei serviie is "reasonably available to the shipper."

2. Il the Commeiie Secretary declares the domestic lumber industry is being injured by foreign competition.

3. When-rates oria 'isubstantially "parallel"' foreign route are at least 20 per cent lor;r'er than those on a domestic route.

The bill was offered in response to complaints that Canadian producers could ship lumber from Biitish Columbia to U. S. Fast Coast ports on foreign ships at rates much lower than those paid by U. S. producers on American ships.

Conslruction Contrqcls Up Agoin

Despite the hesitancy evident elsewhere in the economy, construction contracts in June pushed ahead on a seasonally adjusted basis.

'fhe $3,899,598.000 total reported for the month by F. W. Dodge Corporatron scored an increase of 8 per cent over June, 1961, and rose 2,5 per cent above May wherr measured by the seasonally adjusted Dodge index.

"Construction continues to be a major bulwark of the economy," said Dr. Gordon W. McKinley, Dodge vice president and chief economist. "Particularly heartening in the June figures is the strength in commercial building, wlrich was al-read of the like 1961 month by 19 per cent, and in utilities, which exceeded June 1961 by 45 per cent. The total heavy engineering category, which includes both utilities and public works, rang rlp ,a 22 per cent increase over June, 1961, and for the first six months of the year is ahead of the same period in 1961 by 17 per cent."

"Despite this very fine overall re,cord," said Dr. NIcKinley, "there are some disquieting signs in the June figures. Manufacturing contracts turned in a very poor showing, dropping substantially below June, 1961. In the residential category, single family homes dropped one per cent below the same month in 1961 The continued strength in apartment buildings rvas sufficient to keep the total residential category well above June of last year, but the abrupt decline in single-family homes is disconcerting."

McKinley u'ent on to point out that the construction strike ir-r California uuquestionablv had some influence orl new contracts. "Whethir the effeit of the stril<e rvas suffrcient to account for the disappointing showing of manufacturing buildings and single family homes cannot be determined until the July figures begin to co,me in. NIy own gness is that its principal impact on contracts has beett ir-r tl.re residential field."

F. \\'. Dodge Corporation reported that for tl-re first six months of 1962, total construction contracts amounted to $21,047,478,000, 16 per cent above the first half of 1961 and substantially above any previo'us year. Within the overall total, non-residential building was ahead by 11 per cent, residential building by 18 per cent, and heavv errgineering by 17 per cent. The largest increases for the six months rvere achieved by apartment buildings (up 64 per cent), sewerage systems (up 31 per cent), and electric light and power svstems (up 39 per cent).

According to the Dodge report, total housing units in residential contracts in the first six months of 1962 r'r,ere ahead of the comparable period of 1961 by 16 per cent. Apartmer.rt buildings accounted for 31.4 per cent of tterv housing units, compared to 23.5 per cent in the first half of 1961, an<l 19.1 per cent in the first half of 1960.

CIVIC LUNCHEON HONORING NATIONAL FOREST PRODUCTS WEEK

New York Lumber Dealers Oppose New Standards

In a strongly worded statement, the Greater New York Lumber Industries, Inc., trade association of lumber distributors in the Metropolitan New York area, has taken exception to proposed changes in lumber size standards which are to be considered at an early meeting, possibly in September, of thl American Lumber Standards Committee in Washington.

Terming this "the heighth of BAD PUBLIC RELATIONS in an industry rvhich is in dire need of all the public support it can get and sustain/' the association feels that far too little-if any-consideration has been given to the problems which will arise at the retail and wholesale level if the new, smaller-sized, standards should be put into effect. This is particularly true of the proposals to reduce nominal 1,, thick boards to fu", and 7' lumber to only lfn' thickness.

As Simon L. Miller, President of Greater New York Lumber Indusfries, points out in discussing some of the practical aspects of the ntatter, "Explaining to a customer today's skimpy 2 x 5's is bad enough. How do you

think they will react to that same lumber when it is only Il" thick? The public resents being cheated in any form or fashion, and we believe this u'ill be their violent reaction to such changes. The entire industry is going to find this out the hard way if these standards are changed."

Lumber dealers. wholesalers and related trade associations are rallying to the cry of the Greater Nerv York Lumber association in its efforts to prevent adoption of these new standards.

Objections Outlined

Aside from the potentially damaging public relations aspects, coupled with their economic consequences, the following were cited by the New York lumber trade association in opposition to the new standards:

l. STORAGE PROBLEMS. Lumber yard storage problems are complicated enough without adding multiple sizing necessitating' more space.

2. OPERATIONAL COSTS. Increased inventories will require investment of scarce capital dollars, plus in-

creased costs in the physical handling and tabulating of these inventories.

3. BUILDING CODES. Compliance with various codes and maintaining harmony with their enforcement officials follows well-established patterns. Changes would open a Pandora's box better left closed !

4. PRICES. Customers will have every right to expect decrrcased charges for smaller-sized lumber, though the trend has ever been upu'ard. Furthermore, competitive situations may require dealers to carry both the old and the new sized materials.

5. SALES. Profits (or losses) stem from customer acceptance of our products. Depressed sales at the retail level inevitably escalate upward to the wholesalers and eventually reach the manufacturers.

Architects, Engineers, Contractors Also To Be Afrected

Aside from the lumber dealers and wholesalers, who stand to be affected economically by the introduction of new size standards, at least three other groups should be vitally concerned vuith these proposed changes. They are

the architects, engineers and contractors who have to rvork with lumber products.

Confusionand unnecessary expense-is expected to arise within these circles due to the expensive and tedious changes '"r'hich rvill be required in drawings and specifications, specs long accepted as standard by those skilled artisans lvho design and construct America's homes, buildings and projects utilizing lumber products.

The approv'al of the architects, engineers and contractors must also be given by their representatives on the American Lumber Standards Committee, together with the approval of the lumber dealers and manuiacturers.

Rumor has it that not even all the lumber manuf acturers are in agreement on the proposed changes, which are being sponsored by the manufacturers. Technical and comoetitive questions complicate the pioblems within the sponsoring group, as well as more considerate deliberation as to whether or not this move is in the over-all interest of the lunrber industry.

How The American Lumber Standards Committee Functions

Set up under the direction of the Department of Commerce some years ago, the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALS) functions as a clearing house between the lumber industry and its allied principals and the De-

partment of Commerce, giving preliminary consideration to matters affecting the lumber industry before forrvarding them for official action by the Dep,artment of Commerce.

The American Lumber Standards Committee represents many interests, such, as railroads, builders, architects, engineers, lumber manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. General accord on proposed changes must be reached in committee before measures are passed on to the Department of Commerce for official government action.

Association Urges Joint Opposition

"Speak now or forever after hold your peace" is the motto under which the Greater New York Lumber Industries association is urging support in opposition to the proposed lumber standards changes. All those affected (wholesalers, dealers, architects, engineers, contra,ctors and dissident manufacturers) are requested to make their views known to Mr. James H. Carr, Secretary of the American Lumber Standards Committee, at his offices at 2138 P Street, N.\ /., Washington, D. C.

Dolqn Building Moteriqls to New Sqcrqmento 9ite

Dolan Building Materials recently purchased a four acre industrial site on the Florin-Perkins Road, near North

Fruitridge, which will house the company!s newly organized precutting and prehung door plants. Emphasis rvill be on the volume distribution of precut lumber and prehung door units. The company formerly operated a large retail store in downtown Sacramento in conjunction with its lumber and door divisions.

With the pouring of several large slabs last month, construction is now underivay on three large buildings, two of rvhich will be utilized as warehouses, the other as the company's general office.

Dolan's new location is in the center of a fast growing industrial development south of Sacramento. Some of the company's new neighbors include the general headquarters of P.G.&E., the Signal Depot, Proctor & Gamble, Libby NIcNeil, United Groceries and Safeway.

Roy Spoulding Now Operoting Truckee Sswmill

Ray Spaulding, ,one of the major owners of Roseville Lumber Company, is now operating the former Denney Logging Co. operation at Truckee, California. The operation includes a sau'mill at Lake Tahoe and remanufacturing and drying facilities at Truckee. Both mill and remanufacturing plant rvill operate under the name Ray M. Spaulding Lrrmber Co.

"If you've only got a dollar and you've got to spend it, spend it like a King; spend it as though it were a dry leaf and you the owner of unbounded forests; that's the way to spend it. I'd rather be a beggar and spend my last dollar like a King, than be a King and spend my lnoney like a beggar."

Thus spoke Col. R. G. Ingersoll, one of the most eloquent orators in all history. It was Ingersoll who caused Lincoln to say: "What a marvelous organ is hurnan speech when played by a master."

Ingersoll u'as a close friend of the famous New York clergyman, Henry Ward Beecher. They were friendly enough to exchange arguments, even on the subject of religion. One day Beecher is alleged to have asked Ingersoll what he would do to improve the Lord's creation if he had the por,ver, and Ingersoll ieplied: "That's easy. I'd make health contagious, instead of disease."

Itlvas probably two such men tl.rat Sir Walter Scott l-rad in mind when he wrote of "the stern iov that warriors feel at foeman worthy of their steel."

It is related that at one time Ingersoll was lecturirlg to a large audience on tl-re subject-"Is there a hell?" He said: "f come to you tonight, my friends, to cast no gloom over your future lives, and to say to you that there is no hell."

BY JACK DIONNE

And the tor,r'n drunk staggered to his feet and shouted: "You be doggone sure you're -right, Colonel, because I'm absolutely depending on you."

A group of men r\rere conversing, when one of them asked another for a f,avor, and the reply was a cold "no." And another of the group said to the second man, "You should reply like a lady, a diplornat, or any insurance prospect. When a diplomat says 'no' he means 'maybe,' if he says 'maybe' he means 'yes,' but if he says 'yes' he's no diplomat. Or in case a lady is asked for a kiss, if she says 'no' she means 'maybe,' if she says 'maybe' she means 'yes,'but if she says'yes' she's no lady. Again take the case of an insurance prospect. If he says 'no' he means 'maybe,' if he says 'maybe' he means 'yes,' but if he says ';res' you'll know he can't pass the physical examination."

Ponce de Leon roamed the world seeking the Fountain of Youth, and he had it rvith him all the time and didn't knorv it. The friendship, the trust, the good-vi'ill of the rest of the world is the Fountain of Youth, the Aladdin's lamp of true success, the true gateway to the Road of Happiness. Without it business success is an empty urn, and finar.rcial accumulation turns gold into dross. But if you l-rave it, you have everything else included. I3e agreeable, be friendly, be smiling, be kind.

High R.edwood Shipments

Redvuood shipments in Tur.re rose to their highest level in six years, according to a report released recently by the California Redrvood Association.

The l1 mills reporting to the Association shipped 58,558,000 board feet of redwood in June, the highest monthly total since August of 1956, u'hen 59,016,000 board feet were shipped. Shipments for the first six months of 1962 totaled 287,425,000 board feet, con.rpared to 268,279,000 in the same period ol 1961.

Stocks on hand at tl-re rnills dropped four percent to 401,641,000 board feet, the lorvest mill inventory since last September. Production dropped slightly, to 46,325,M board feet, lr'hile nerv orders remained practically the same at 54,520,000 board feet. Orders on hand at the end of the month amounted to 74,077,000 board feet. compared with 79,661,0A0 board feet on X{ay 31, and 64,680,000-at the end of June, 1961.

The productive Douglas fir region of \\restern Washington and Oregon provides lumber for one million homes a year, one-sixth of the nation's pulp and paper, 90 per cent of its shingles, 75 per cent of its hardboards, and most of its softwood plyr,r'ood.

To give that garden an extra touch of charm, build a good wood deck in a corner and equip it with barbecuing and lounging gear. Good results are obtained with either Douglas fir or western red cedar for deck boards and frame.

Sacramento's Wood Council Makes Chips Flv !

Unlike many volunteer organizations. the Wood Council of Sacramento (known as "Lumberjac" in many other areas) really works. Spearheaded by an energetic Sacramento retailer who takes lumber promotion seriously, Bill Baird, owner of Arden Lumber Company, the Wood Council of Sacramento is presently distributing a "Wood Products File" to over 100 architects and specifiers of construction materials in the Sacramento area. Far from just a feu' data sheets stuck in a binder, the "Wood Products File" r,r'eighs a good 7 or 8 pounds. It is a complete information center on all species of lumber, millwork, plywood and laminated beams. The information covers every conceivable question any architect might have concerning the use of wood vs. a snbstitute material.

The hundreds of pages of literature and specification data were compiled through the cooperation of all the lum-

ber trade associations in the nation. Catalogue work and distribution of the finished "Wood Products File" was all voluntary. Actual exp,ense of the project rvas borne by donations from practically all of the leading building material firms, both retail and wholesale, in the Sacramento area.

In addition to the "Wood Products File," the Wood Council of Sacramento also distributes a bi-monthlv letter to all of the area's builders and architects. Edited by Jack Berry, secretary of the \Arood Council, "The Lumber Letter" carries interesting and helpful information on the elimination of discrimatory building codes (a highly successful NLMA project).

The Wood Council of Sacramento has answered the challenge where others have procrastinated. The officers,

Protection Against Termites - Houses with Slab Floors

In previous issues r,r'e have made recommendations for protection against subterranean termite attack of houses with basements and with cralvl sDaces. Such houses are relatively easy to protect againsf termites compared to houses with concrete slab floors on the ground.

With slab floors it is of the utmost importance that no wood is left under the floor, neither buried in the earth nor on the surface of the ground. Remove all form boards, grade stakes, spreader sticks and scraps of lumber from fill and backfill. Do not build over tree stnmps or roots. Leave no wood scraps in or on the ground under steps, porches, breezeways or terraces.

Try to build on a knoll with the ground sloping away from the house in all directions. Get the best drainage possible.

With slab floor construction there are three important prdte'ctive barrieqs against subterranean termites: soil covers, ground poisons and a well constructed slab.

Soil Covers

A rot and termite-proof vapor-barrier soil cover with a vapor transmission rate of one-half perm or less under the slab floor is one of the best protections against termite attack if the soil cover is installed correctly and remains unpunctured. All laps should be sealed. Lumber dealers should sell good soil covers. Among soil covers on the market are the following:

Crawl Space Felt-Johns-Manville.

Pren-oulded Membrane-W'. R. Meadows, Inc., Elgin, Illinois. New Angier Glass-Mat "55"*Angier Corp., Framingham, Mass. ft" Elasliboard Vapor Srtop (also thinner products)-Philip Carey Mfg. ,Co., Cin,ci'nnati 15, Ohio.

Ternrribar-B'ird & Son, Inc., East Walpole, Mass.

Ruberoid Crawl Space Cover-The Ruberoid Co., Ch'i,cago, Illinois. Ro'tbar f 5 Glas-Kraft-Glas-Kraft, Ing., I-onsdale, R. L Sisalkraft Vapors'top-American Si,salkmft Corp., Chicago 6, Illinois ; N'ew York 17. Ne*. York.

IJnfortunately my examinations of many jobs under construction showed hardly one soil cover installation for use under slabs, that was not punctured in more places than one. There were tears, loose holes around pipes, loose contact at edges and a general disregard for the good work necessary to make the soil cover effective; either to keep moisture from rising from the ground or to stop termites. This means that insistence on proper installation of the soil cover is a must. Hole,s around pipes should be tight and sealed with roofing grade coal-tar pitch. Soil cover must be tight against concrete walls and absolutely free of punctures and unsealed holes.

Safety requires that the soil cover be extended under porch floors, breezervays and entrance platforms.

Ground Poisons

Because one cannot be sure that an adequate soil cover has been properly installed, security demands that the earth under a concrete slab floor be poison treated, before laying the soil cover, to make the ground uninhabitable by termites. A water emulsion type of poison should be used under slabs.

Make sure that wells for water supply are not contaminated by the soil poison.

The F.H.A. and the U. S. Department of Agriculture recommend the following soil poisons in the water emulsion concentrations given; and applied as directed below:

O.S%-Aldin. Available as a liquid concentrate containing 2 pounds per gallon of the technical grade chemical. Dilute one gallon concentrate with 47 gallons of rvater.

0.8o/o-Gamma-Benzene Hexachloride. Available as a liquid concentrate containing l2/o gamma isomer. Dilute one gallon of concentrate rvith 15 gallons of water.

1.0o/o-Chlordane. Available as a 46/o liquid concentrate. Dilute one gallon of concentrate with 48 gallons of water.

0.5/e-Dieldrin. Available as a liquid concentrate containing I/2 pounds per gallon of the technical grade chemical. Dilute one gallon of concentrate u'ith 36 gallons of water.

You can purchase these chemicals fr,om your local feed, seed, garden supply or hardware store. Specify emulsifiable concentrate as above.

Apply an over-all treatment under entire surface of slabs including porch floors, breezeways and entrance platforms at rate of one gallon per ten square feet. If fill under slab is washed gravel, cinders or other coarse absorbent material,

apply at rate of one gallon per seven square feet. Protect against disturbance until covered by slab.

Make sure the poison used is not a kind that will destroy the soil cover being used.

Apply along inside of all fo,undation walls and around pipes at rate of one gallon for each 2f lineal f.eet.

After grading is completed, dig a trench about six inches wide along outside of foundation walls. Trench may be about twelve inches deep, but not below top of footing.

Apply poison at rate of one gallon to 2l lineal fee't, mixing the chemical with the dirt as it is. returned to the trench.

Slabs

Concrete floor slabs must be reinforced to prevent cracks. The top of the slab should be at least eight inches aboye the outside grade and the lower six inches exposed to view to permit observation to detect any termite tunnels being built. See Figures 13 and 14 f.or types o'f slabs recommended,-.

Concrete slqb

Where termites are particularly bad, some authorities recommend that all wood construction be placed on concrete curbs raised six inches above the slab. This includes exterior walls, partitions, doors, cabinets, etc. This results in concrete baseboards showing and termites would have to build tubes in plain view over them to get to the wood. Such curb construction offers no protection to wood floons o,r carp,ets.

Opening in slabs around pipes should be filled with roofing grade coal-tar pitch or dense cement mortar.

The writer is preparing a plan in which plumbing and other pipes will go through a wall instead of through the slabs. This will remove the weakest link in our protection against subterranean termites in slab floor construction.

In the meantime adequate defense is made up of a good soil cover job, good ground poisoning and a well built itab.

Outside attachments like clothes-line posts, trellises, etc., should be built so as not to provide termite paths into the house.

Slonionite Tom Burge

Retires To frovel

Tom Burge, who has been identified in the lumber business in Los Angeles since 1920, retired last month to "travel and take it easy," he says.

It was just 42 years ago that Tom came to California and started his lumber career with E. J. Stanton & Son, fnc., wholesale lumber concern, as a yard employee. During the years he worked in every department in the production-division and became one of the top hardwood lumber graders.

Tom was raised on a ranch near Fort Lupton, Colorado, where _he recently visited his brother following his retirement. He intends, to fish, travel and loaf in the California sunshine, according to the statement given the CLM staff representatlve.

"We are sorry to lose Tom," said Roy Stanton, Sr., presi-

dent of the lumber distributing firm, "but we are very happy that he will be able to take it easy in the coming years and enjoy life." Mr. Stanton presented an engraved gold watch to Tom in recognition of his services.

TTT Drives Agoin

The 434th Terrible Twenty tournament was held July 20 at Wilshire Country Club, with Cliff Simpson as host. The course was beautiful, but, reports secretary H. M. Alling, almost none of the members could handle it.

Morgan Mullins did the best job with 84-10-74 in the low bracket, and Clarence Bohnhoff with 89-17-72 in the high bracket.

Two old members came out for the day, Ham Hamilton and Dewey Reeder, and received a rvarm welcome.

He Gould Tell

The late Ambassador Walter Page was formerly editor of World's Work, and like all editors was obliged to refuse a great many manuscripts. A lady once wrote him:

"Sir: You sent back, last week, a story of mine. I know that you did not read the story, for as a test I pasted the pages 18, 19, and 20 together, and the story came back with those pages still pasted, so I know that you are a fraud and turn down stories without reading them."

Mr. Page wrote back: "Madam: At breakfast when I open an egg, I don't have to eat the whole egg to discover it's bad."

Owned Only Bod R"oods

An Englishman just returned to his native land after an automobile tour of the United States. was asked bv a friend how the roads were in the United States.

"Old fellow," he replied, "the road situation in the States is very peculiar. There's a fellow named Lincoln who owns a lot of roads, and very good ones. And there's another big road owner, some Old Spanish chappie, doncha know, who has some mighty fine roads. There are several oth,er owners of good highways. But there is a chappie over there by the name of Detour who owns a thousand short rcadq all of them in the very worst of r'epair and condition. I really don't see how the American Government allows that bloke to operate."

New Stotisticql Series on Soles ofOne-Fomily Homes

The Bureau of the Censtls, U. S. Department of Commerce and the Housing and Home Fin,ance Age,ncy mad'e ar"ailable for the first tirne pre'liminary stati.st.i,as on sales of new, private, nonfarm, onefarrnily ,h,omes during t,he first four months of 1962. Srtatistics were al'so released on the number of hom,es under con,structiorn or recently completed and still on the market. The s'tartis'tics are inc uded in the fir'st of a series of reporrts on th,is .subject to be released jointly by the Bureau of the Census ,and the Hous,ing and Home Finance Agency.

The new series resulrts from a su.ryey conducted by the Bureau of the Cen'sus since the beginning ,of the year undor a contract with the Housing an'd Home Finan'oe Agerlcy. The darta are based on a probabili,ty sample of one-farnily homes built in the Un,it,ed States. The info,rmation is o,btained rthrough rnonthly interviews of the builders or owners of the homes falling in the sample.

Preliminary tabulatirons of ,the first fou,r months' result,s rerreal the

follow,ing, as so(ne of the principal findings:

During the first quarter oI 1962, a tortal of 185'000 private nonfarm single-farnily dwellings were started. Of these, 118,000-or 64 per'cent of the total-were inrtend'ed for sale. Hornes built by a single general contractor for the exclusive use of ,the owner accounted f,or 3Q000 units, ,611 16 percen't of the total. The remaining 37,000 un,its, or 20 percent of t'h'e total of p,rivt1" non-farm singlef,arnily dwellings, comp'rise shell horrnes, rental homes, and tl'rose for whic,h the owner acted as his own general contractor or perfo,rmed some or all of the wro'rk.

Sales of one-family hom,es intended for sale may take place before, at the sarne time as, or after eithelthe issuance of the corresponding building perrnits or,the ,start of const'ructio,n. Thus, the hormes ,sold in the fir,st quarter are not necessarily the same homes ,starte,d in the first quarter. Fu,r,therrmore, not all of the sales t'hat ac,trually occurred in ,the first quar,ter have yet been ,re,port'ed. In the survey procedure used, homes are brought ,into the reporting sarrnple when, in a building permit-issuing place, a

bui,ldins permit has been issrued, or, in areas without building perm,it sys,tems, construot'ion has st'a,nted. Th'us, where sales have occur,red 'in advance of the time at wh'ich they can be included in the survey, the s,ales wrill not becorne know,n un'til t,he permits are issued or co'nstruotion st'arrted in nonpermit areas.

For rthe one-family homes in'tended for sal.e, preli,rninary figures ind,icate first quarrter sales of 110,000 houses that were completed, or wer,e e,ither under constru.c't.ion or for whic,h bu,ilding perrnits ,had been issued by t,he end of Ap,ril. Additional firs't quarter.sales will be reporrtted in coming rnonths, con,sis,ting of home's srold in adl'ance of the ,issuance of bu,ild.ing pe'rmits .olthe start of constnrctrio,n. About half of the firs,t quanter sales represent homes aurthorized or starrted in 1961.

At the end of April 1962, some 213,000 homes intended for sale had been authorized by build,ing pe.rmits, or started in n,onpermit areas, b,u,t remained unso,ld. They con.siste<l of 55,000 that had been completed, 138,000 under construction, and 20000 not yet staflt'ed.

Among the total number of homes sold in the first quarter, 68 percent were sold for under $20,000 and 30 percen,t art higher pnices. Prices were not repoited on 2 percent of the horrne sold.

Among the homes whioh remained unsold at th'e end of Aplil, prices unde,r $20,000 were reported for 56 per cent, higher pr,ices for 33 percent, and price was n'ot reported for 11 percent.

Arn,ong the ,homes sold with Government-insured ,mortg,age finan,cing during the first q,uarrte'r, app,roximately two-thirds were valued under $17,500. Conversely, two-third,s of the ,conventionally-financed homes were sold a,t pr,ices ,of $17,5m ,orr more. For homes sold wirthout mortgage finanoing (cash), slightly les,s than one-half were pri,ced above $17,500.

Half of the hornes so'ld with mortgagJe finanoing wer'e finan,ced under Governmen't insuranc€ progr?m,s. Among Lthose ho'rnes sold for less than $17,500, FHA and VA financing predominarted. Among those home,s sold at prices above tihat level, conventional financing was used more extensively than the Government-insured types. Conventional financing characte,rized more than ,threefo'urths of homes sold for $25,000 or m.ore. In conrtrast, FHAinsured ,rnortgages ac'coun,ted for only 4 percent and VA-guaranteed mortgages for 2 percent of the h'ornes t,hat were sold for $25,000 o,r more. T'he ba'lance in thi's price cat€gory either had no report as to type of fin,ancing or were ,sold on an all cash barsis. The furll report, Serie,s C25-1, Sales of New One-Family Holnes, January-April 1962, presents m,ore d,etailed info,rm,ation on sales and on t,he numbe'r of homes that are under consttruction or recently com. pleted and are still on the market. Futurre reports on th'is subject will oontinue to be identified as rthe 'C25 ser'ies.

Woshsble Block Ceiling Altroctive lo Homemnker

Washable ceilings that never need painting have a definite appeal to .maintenance.minde'd homern,akers, especially when the b ock material can be color-keyed to t,he roo'm's derco'r. D'eale'rs featuring washable Marlite block for kitchen and batrhroom ce,iling,s have found ready ,266gp1ance because of the paneling's resist'ance to heat and moistture. In addition, the tongue-and-groove blocks are easy to handle an,d home handymen can install them wirthout help. Althougth white is the most popular ceil,ing c,olor, ma,ny h'omeowners a're cho'e ing light paste,ls to blend witrh the room's d'ominant color scherne. A l,ight aqua ceiling, for instance, accerlts woodgrain wall paneling and creates a d'istinctive interi,cr.
