After Noyo Redwood is sawn, edged, trimmed, sorted, and graded, it is transported from the "green chain" to the air yard for "sticking" and seasoning. In placing the "spacers" between the boards, care is taken to keep the spacing uniform even tiers for maximum air circulation. Then the lift trucks place the packages of "stuck" lumber in uniformly placed stacks that provide for maximum air circulation and another step in Noyo Quality Control is underway.

". The last two decades have tended toward an all-powerful Federal Government which has its fingers in your pocket, its foot on your throttle, its hands on your steering gear, tells you what to do all day and practically gets into bed with you at night. You don't reverse that sort of trend in a few days." (Bill Henry, in the Los Angeles Times.)

Some other newspaper:; ;"r. name and identity I don't remember, said something recently that caught my attention, and claimed my approval. He was talking about our expensive government an.d how it might be made more economical, and he said: "As long as we give it to them, they'll spend it."

rn short, the only -.r*ao 1"r1. an. cutting of expenses of this government, is to cut off the supply at the source. If Congress won't vote it, they can't spend it. Congress showed its clear opinion on that matter before adjournment this summer by refusing to raise the debt limit as requested by President lke.

Irlow the President n"" ""U* on all the Washington bureaus to cut expenses, hoping to reduce outlays sufficiently so that we can get by this fall without a special session of Congress to raise the debt limit. A worthy move. It will probably save a hundred thousand here and a million there, but what this country needs is to be able to cut off a billion here and other billions there. Minnows won't do; we've got to catch whales.

To a country boy *n" J" lr, an" sidelines and only knows what he reads in the papers, it always looks to me like we are straining at the gnat and swallowing the camel just like the good bool the Bible, tells about. We who have been broadcasting free money to all the world for many years to the tune of countless billions, can think of a better and bigger way to cut expenses than saving a few bucks in the bureau budgets. ***

We reprinted recently in this space the remark of a special writer in the Los Angeles Herald-Express who remarked that we have finally solved the age-old problem of supply and demand in our relations with Europe; "Europe don't supply anything, and we don't demand anything." So, in order to save the billions that we need to balance our books, let's just reverse that ticket; let's quit

supplying and start doing some tall demanding, and hang onto our mone''

Do you, by any chance, ride the busses and the street cars these days, Junior? Do you hear what the man- and the woman- in the street say about what goes on? Do you know what they think about grab.bing a handful of cash out of every pay-check in this country in order to ship continuing billions abroad for so-called "aid" of various sorts ? Is there any doubt in your mind that if the people of this nation had a chance to vote on the matter, they would cut off that flow of billions abroad, and substitute therefor -iust a faint trickle of dollars? And only dollars for actual emergencies at that? Do you doubt it, Junior? *{<t<

Why don't we just quit trying to play God for a while, and give the rest of the world a chance to stand on its own feet? Who ever appointed 160 million Americans guardian, godfather, supporter, feeder and protector of a couple of billion people all over the wide earth? {<**

We got into this thing they call the United Nations, and the United Nations got us into Korea, and now look ! Korea, so they saR cost us 22 billions of dollars in direct expenses, and many additional billions in less direct fashion.

to the papers, he issued a statement asserting his belief in the U.N. as "a useful agency to improve conditions throughout the world but not as an effective means to prevent aggression."

whenever I read ", ;"r. tnlt -" are going to resist aggression wherever it appears, I recall the time when Hitler, at the start of World War II, was haranguing a great crowd of Germans, and in his mad voice screamed: "I will destroy my enemies !" And from the midst of the mob a woman's voice cried out: "With whose sons?" ***

ft seems to me that "with whose sons?" may be heard more and more frequently in this country from American parents, as our continued enveloprnent in foreign affairs becomes more objectionable.

The opportunity fo3 this nation's getting into trouble abroad grows more abundant. I read that we have at present 89 major overseas air bases; and we have a great army of Americans trailing our arms and economic aid programs in 34 foreign countries. ***

We tread strange paths, we Americans of today. As thousands of Allied prisoners of war come staggering out of the Communist camps, bent and starved and broken by their barbaric captors, we read continually that the battle to seat Communist China in the United Nations is a very serious threat. What sort of a hellish situation is this where these uncivilized torturers are to sit in our civilized councils? We are told that Britain favors such action, yet British boys are among the victims of these yellow devils. What has come over the once strong men of Britain?

Of course r rcalizearr"a wl"nltgton was not a Franklin Roosevelt and Jefferson was no Harry Truman, but they were fairly intelligent and loyal Americans, whose expressed opinions still make a deep impression on all oldfashioned Americans. Times have changed, they say? Sure they've changed! And who changed them? Reminds me of the guy who murdered his parents and then asked for sympathy because he was an orphan. The fact is we don't belong, never did belong, and never should belong in'all the hundreds of horrid messes and situations throughout the world into which we have so deeply stuck our noses. And on that rock I stand. And what makes it sweet, is the fact that everyone to whom I talk and from whom I hearstands on that same rock.

They speak and write ; i"r;, of scorn about so-called "isolationists" these days. Well, Junior, listen to this ! If isolationist means a man who is for the United States first, last, and all the time, loves her, lives for her, puts her welfare high above that of all the remainder of creation put together, and hates to see one single American life sacrificed on the altar of European hates and embroilments; if that is what that word msans-anfl so it seemsthen I'm an isolationist; a double-decked, triple-plated, copper-riveted, lantern-jawed isolationist.

One of the great hunting stories of all time concerns two men who were driving out to do some quail shooting. They had never hunted together before, and one of them turned out to be the world's worst braggart. All the way out to the hunting place he boasted about his skill and prowess as a quail hunter. He was not only the best in the county, he was the best in the country. When he leveled on a quail it was the same as dead, etc., etc.

So, when they started hunting, the other fellow let the big talker start the shooting. He leveled his double-barreled shotgun and fired twice.

Two Big Arizona Lumber Mills Combine

Integration of Saginarv & Manistee Lumber Company and Southrvest Lumber Mills, Inc., plants at Flagstaff, Arizona, n'ill be consummated soon, spokesmen for the trvo companies announced last month.

Decision on the proposed change will not affect employees or payrolls in 1953.

Combination of the tn.o operations in Flagstaff, the spokesmen said, has been dictated by many factors. One of the major problems that has faced both mills has been the annual shutdorvn during the December-February period.

"The nerv production schedule .ivil1 serve to stabilize employment and payrolls over the entire 12 months of the 1'ear," according to Freeman Schultz, vice-president of Saginarv.

"After 1953, total payrolls paid to employees in production rvork rvill remain at the present level because of a construction and modernization program contemplated for the Flagstait operation." Planned nerv buildings and improrrements are expected to result in year-round operating schedule, rrith no shutdo.rvn.

A subsequent expansion program, dependent on the outcome of market surveys, envisions better utilization of t'ood that nou' largeh. goes to waste. "New rvood products and their processing will eventually mean more employment and payrolls for the Flagstaff area," the spokesmerr said.

Out o[ the \(/oods

In his new book, "Forest Policy," W. B. Greeley declares: "The necessary degree of public regulation of private forestry and the levels of authority by which it should be enforced remain foremost problems of American policy.

The criticism of American (forest) policy as ineffective is directed by public agencies particularly toward its results upon small 'ivoodlands . The wood lot, with its preponderant acreage. is now viewed in official circles as the 'hard cores' of the national problem and the most urgent field for public regulation."

These statements by the highest industrial forestry authority in harness are not only living facts of today but they visualize issues of the future. None is more important than this one, "Is tl-re typical owner among America's 4,000,000 proprietors of small woodlands to continue to be his own boss in the timber on which he pays taxes?"

For, common objective of all the organizations, groups and parties that are after the scalps of Secretaries Benson and McKay, is socialization of the nation's forest resources, right down to the last stump patch.

Col. Greeley's nerv book is the latest in "The American

Plans of operation have been discussed in conferences with the Forest Service on the sustained yield program on timber. This program u'ill be continued so as to prevent any adverse efi[ect on the Flagstaff community in the wav of preservation of timber resources.

For years the trn'o companies have had a c<,1-operative logging arrangement u'ith Saginarv & Manistee Lumber Company furnishing the logs for both plants. Under the neu' alignment, all logging and manufacturing operations will come under the integrated program.

Principal factor in the integration of the operations of the tu'o mills, the announcement said, rvas the annual u,inter shutdorvn of the trvo plants because of insufficient logs rvith the resultant loss in payroll to employees during this perio<l. "The Forest Service recently found it necessary to further reduce the annual supply of logs to these companies making it appear certain that the usual shutdown period u'ould be a month or more longer," the announcement said.

"Shutdorvns such as the u'inter lapse have been costly and it has been difficult to retain crews to get back into normal production," H. V. Kiley, manager of the South_ rvest Flagstaff division, stated. "Under the ner,v alignment, u'e hope to insure continuous operation over the l2-months' period providing a more permanent and continuing pavroll to stabilize the econmy of Flagstaff ancl to make for more efficient production in our plants."

Forestry Series" of college textbooks. These publications by the l,vorld-famed firm of N{cGrarv-Hill norv number 22. Their subjects range from "Forest pathology', to .,Forestry and Its Career Opportunities" by Hardy Sl-rirley. They are mainly technical books. Greeley's "Forest policy" is expository throughout. It projects and illuminates the forest policies of all major timber countries rvith the hand of a master.

"Forest Policy" was r,vritten for college students, particularly for those of such institutions as the College of Forestry, University of Washington, and the Oregon State College Forestry School. But Bill Greeley is an old ranger and a born narrator, and the arts practiced by campfire and on trail enliven "Forest Policy," even as tl-rey animate the author's best selling "Forests and Men." In short, here is a textbook that is highly readable for anybody who is at all interested in reading about trees and travel. A vital style brightens even the more technical pages.

Because of these qualities, "Forest Policy" is a book that may be used effectively in high school social, economic. and history studies. Conservation teachers in junior schools should find it useful too.

One of the most interesting and informative chapters is entitled "The Democratic Forest Policies of Scandinavia." In Sweden, it tells, the keynote of forest policy is in forest controls by county boards as established in a law of 1903a law that has worked well for 50 years.

New Construction Totols Rise

Total expenditures for new construction rose slightly in July to a new monthly peak of almost $3'3 billion and were 8 per cent above July 1952, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division of the U. S. Department of Commerce. The small July increase (about 2 per cent above the June estimate resulted chiefly frorn seasonal gains in highrvay construction and in private outlays for public utilities, plus a more than seasonal rise in commercial construction.

Thus far in 1953, new spending records have been established for several types of construction, including private expenditures for new. residential building, public utility construction, and commercial and educational building. In the public sector, expenditures for highways and schools also exceeded any previous January-July total. Although private industrial construction has been declining since February, expenditures in 1953 for this work almost equaled the record 1952 figure, when the totals for the first 7 months are compared.

Total expenditures for new construction put in place during the first 7 months of 1953 amounted to $19.3 billion, a gain of 8 per cent over the same 1952 period, and physical volume (expenditures adjusted for price changes) also was up slightly from 1952.

Housing Storts Decline In July

Housing starts, totaling 96,000 in July, declined by 7 percent (7,000 units) from June, according to preliminary estimates of the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although the decrease was widespread geographically, it was about the amount that might be expected for this time of year.

Privately owned dwellings were down from June by 5 percent to. 95,6O0 starts-5,500 under JuJy 1952, but more than in any other July except the record high of 1950' The 400 public housing units put under construction in July 1953 represented the lowest monthly volume since March 1948, when 100 were started. The June 1953 figure was 2,&O and that for July a year ago was 1,5@.

During the first 7 months of this year, 674,500 new permanent nonfarm dwelling units were begun, slightly more than the 668,400 units for the comparable months of last year. Private housing in 1953 was 22,9N units above the 1952 total, while public housing was lagging by 16,800 units when the first 7 months are compared. Altogether, new private dwellings started thus far in 1953 totaled &5,7W units and public housing, 28,800 units. '

Early reports to the Bureau during July from buildingpermit officials reveal that activity declined from June in varying degrees in all sections of the country except the Pacifi,c States. In that region, volume remained about the same.

Estimated production through June of this year rvas 4,585 million feet. Production during tl.re first six months of 1952l,as 4,423 million feet.

Shipments during the first half of this year also show a gain. The 4,404 million feet shipped during the first six months of 1953 represent an increase of 0.5 per cent above the 4,381 million feet shipped in the corresponding period of 1952.

Orders for Southern Pine also are up, the SPA survey indicates. During the first six months of 1953, orders received lvere estimated at 4,453 million feet. This marks an increase of 1.1 per cent above the 4,4O5 million feet booked dnring the first six montl.rs ol 1952.

Wood Trim For Courthouses

Washington, D.C.-Wood, long acclaimed for its beauty, dignity and versatility, has been chosen to play a leading role in the interior design of all future federal courthouses, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported today.

An outstanding example of the trend accenting wciod in public buildings is to be found in a 914.5 million U. S. courthouse built recently in Washington, D.C.

The General Service Administration says the Washington courthouse will serve as a model for extensive use of wood wall paneling in the courtrooms and judges' chambers of future federal court buildings.

Standards developed by GSA's public buildings service require wood for the courtroom and chamber paneling and for other court appointments, including the judge's bench, spectator benches, jury box and clerk's desk.

All non-military federal buildings must be constructed in accordance with GSA criteria. That agency also an'ards the building contracts and supervises the constrttction.

The Washington courthouse makes generotls use of rvalnut and rvhite oak. However, in other areas, GSA rvill specify whatever species of wood is most ecouomical or appropriate.

San Francisco Organizes "Keep Green" Program to Prevent Forest Fires

San Francisco's Keep Green Committee is believed to be the first to be organized in a large metropolitan area. Its inception is being nationally acclaimed as a positive move on the part of a large city to recognize its responsibility in the preservation of forest resources. The Committee program is expected to establish a pattern for the formation of similar groups in other large cities. In addition to NIr. Losh and Mr. Allen shown above, the present 18-man committee consists of : R. J. Barbieri, Bank of America; Frank C. Colridge, Board of Fire lJnderwriters of The Pacific; William S. Cullenward, Columbia Broadcasting System; Alfred Crapsey, National Broadcasting Co.; Morris Edel-

man, San Francisco Hotel Association; Oscar Evans, American Forest Products Corporation; William F. Fielder, Fielder, Sorensen & Davis; Joseph W.

However, "if the city didn't proht one cent from these industries," Losh contintled, "San Franciscans are obligated to protect the forests and range lands on rvhich neighboring citizens depend for their livelihood."

Thousands of San Franciscans visit the forest and rangeland areas in the summer and early fall as vacationists, hunters-particularly since the opening of the deer season-fishermen, and tourists.

lncome Tqx Ouflook-Personql ond Corporqte

Here are a few facts concerning the income tax outlook for the near future, both individual and corporate.

When President Eisenhower and Treasury Chief George Humphries were making their drive before Congress to keep the excess profits tax alive through the current year instead of allo'iving it to expire on July 31, they practically promised not to ask for another such extension. So, it is about as certain as anything can be in Washington, that the heavy tax burden will expire on the 31st day of December, 1953.

ft was definitely understood at the same time that they will not ask for another delay in personal income tax relief, scheduled by the present law for the first df 1954. It is practically certain that Congress will not of its own accord suggest such postponement, with another election coming up next year. So we can look with comparative certainty for relief beginning the end of this year for excess profits tax payers, and for individual income tax payers.

According to a published report from an income tax authcrity, the personal income tax between 1953 and 1954 rvill work as follows: A married man with two children and an income of $10,000 a year pays $1,527.60 thls year,

but will pay only $1,372.n in 1954. An unmarried man with an income of $5,000 pays $911.40 this year, but rvill only pay $818.00 in 1954. A married man with two children and a $20,000 income will pay $4,620.00 this year, but next year will get off with $4,124.00.

There are some very important cuts in government income that are due to be made according to present larvs early next year, wlrose fate it is much too early to estimate as yet. A scheduled drop in regular corporate tax rates from 52 percent to 47 percent is due April 1, 1954. Also scheduled to terminate by law on April 1, next year are scores of excise levies on things ranging all the wav from auto to liquor and tobacco taxes.

The scheduled drop in the corporate rate u'ould cost the government about two billion dollars a year, and dropping those excise taxes would cut another billion from the national income. President Ike asked Congress this year to put ofi both those scheduled tax cuts indefinitelv, but they refused to agree at that time, and what cornes next rvhen the cuts become imminent, no one can guess' The President has suggested he would like a modified excise tax system to succeed the present one. But the Congress and the people are mighty tax-conscious, and PostPonement

propositions for tax cuts would meet with quite a battle.

But it is already certain that the end of the excess profits tax will save the 50,000 corporations who now pay tax about two billion dollars next year, which means more dividends, more plant development, more plowing of money back into business. And it is likewise certain that the reduction in personal income taxes will put three billions of dollars into personal pockets next year.

Individuals who are subject to the vl'ithholding provisions of the income tax law will get their first reduction of taxes in their first pay envelope in 1954.

The excess profits tax was passed by Congress in the middle of 1950 after the Korean war broke out. Our present rate of individual income taxes took efiect November 1.1951.

Tobin Announces Reorgonizotion

Bill Tobinl of Tobin Forest Products, wholesale lumber distributing firm of Long Beach, California, announced last month he had completed the reorganization of his company and now represents l\fcNamara and Peepe Lumber Company of Crescent City, California, and the South Coast Lumber Company of Brookings, Oregon, exclusively in the Southern California territory.

Walter L. Ehrlich, president Western Hardwood Lumber Company of Los Angeles, reports that work has commenced in modernizing their plant, located at 2014 East 15 street, in the center of the Los Angeles industrial area.

Many of the lumber storage sheds, which were constructed years ago and now obsolete, are being torn down to make u'ay for new and up-to-date warehouses, in order to improve methods of handling lumber, and enlarge storage space at the ten-acre Plant.

"These improvements will help us to offer a better service to the retail trade and will greatly expedite handling

"The mills we represent have a capacity of over six million feet of precision-manufactured Yellow Fir each month and we have an unlimited supply arriving in Long Beach via cargo and also truck and trailer," said Mr. Tobin. "Our lumber is of fine texture and old growth, assuring the retail dealer and industrial user quality material."

Mr. Tobin has been engaged in the wholesale distribution of forest products in Long Beach for the past twenty years and maintains offices at 145 Claremont Avenue in the beach city; telephone number Long Beach 906-358.

Teddy Roosevelt said, "Forestry is the preservation of forests by wise use."

Rerired School Aut{rorify Becomes Top-Nolch Screen Sqlesmqn

This is quite a success story. It concerns John W. Tucker, of Los Angeles. Two years ago he was the retired superintendent of maintenance and inspection for'the Los Angeles city school system. He knew a lot about buildings, but little about selling.

He was an old, close friend of John D. Scouller, president of So-Cal Building Materials Company, of Los Angeles. Mr. Scouller had an idea, and suggested to Mr. Tucker that he join his wholesale building materials concern, selling "Tension-tite" screens. Mr. Tucker accepted, went to work as suggested, and is today one of the most successful screen salesmen in the.entire West.

The 65-year-old age limit that retired him from the L.A. school system has not affected his activity as a salesman, nor his succ.ess. He specializes in the screen department for his employer, r,r'ho is definitely proud of his accomplishments.

Two Men Who Helped The Workers . . . . . . . o . . An Editoriol

The labor movement in America should build statues in honor of two men; two who did more for the cause of the worker than all others.

They are Samuel Gompers and Henry Ford.

Ford voluntarily increased the wages of his employes to an altitude that neither labor nor labor unions had ever dreamed of asking for. He started a ball rolling that has never stopped.

And Gompers, a wise and conservative leader who built up the American Federation of Labor in mighty fashion,

A fair example of the philosophy that made him an outstanding leader, was the following utterance: "One fact stands out in bold relief in the history of man's attempts at betterment. That is that when compulsion is used, resentment is aroused, and nothing is gained. Only through moral suasion and appeal to man's reason can a movement succeed."

Goqls For Americon Forestry

When the annual convention of the American Forestry Association meets in Washington, D.C., October 29 through 31, a proposed program for American forestry will be offered that was formulated in.June at Higgins Lake, Michigan, by foresters rvho met for that purpose. The Washington meeting u'ill be called the Fourth American Forest Congress. Recommendations in five principal fields to achieve three immediate goals will be made by the committee.

To achieve these goals the delegates proposed that the thinking of forestry be geared along three principal action channels-five fields of activity that rvould serve as a fivelane highway to future progress and a sizeable timber reserve. The fields covered in the report are forest-land ownership, forest land management, multiple uses of forestlands, education and assistance to forest landowners and research.

As regards forest-land ownership, the committee recommended that early action be taken by Congress to establish a joint Congressional Committee of tl.re Senate and House Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs and the Senate and House Committees on Agriculture and F'orestry whose objectives would be: 1) To consider a desirable pattern of ownership ol federal, state and private forest, range, and other conservation lands; 2) To formulate policies to guide action of public agencies tolvard achieving this pattern; 3) To recommend to the Congress legislation needed to enable federal agencies to implement these policies. The Governors of the states would also be urged to appoint committees to report on conditions in each state as they might relate to a desirable pattern of land orvnership.

8-Srory "Nqlionql Housing Cenler"

Washington, D.C.-The home building industry is adding a dramatic profile of steel and stone to the skyline of the Nation's Capital.

Wrecking crews trave begun clearing a strategic site midtown Washington for the National Association Home Builders' new "National Housing Center."

The eight-story, air-conditioned structure will be a showcase of progress in the design, construction, materials and workmanship that go into the modern American home.

Serving both as headquarters for NAHB and as a Permanent exhibit building for manufacturers whose products are used in home construction, the "National Hgusing Center" promises to rival the Federal government's orvn historic buildings as an attraction for the visiting millions rvho visit Washington annually.

Emanuel M. Spiegel, President of NAHB, and Nathan Manilow, chairman of the association's building committee, said actual construction rvill begin about September 1, after two buildings now occupying the site at 1625-27 L Street, N.W., have been razed. Grand opening of the Center is planned for September 195-1.

Deorh ls No Greqler Mystery Thqn Life

You say he's dead. You say so very surely That "he will live ne pe1s"-[ow can you know?

How can you be so sure of that call'ed death, When you knew nothing of the thing called life? Death is no greater mystery than lifeVeils shroud the living as they shroud the dead.

A litle while ago you said, "He lives."

You held his hand, you knew his face and form, But never once did you behold his self. His body was ? shell-as much a shell

While living as when dead. The shell you loved But hid within that form and spoke to you Through binding walls of flesh.

And yet you said, "IIe lives," although you never Perceived the man himself, nor knew from whence He came, nor how he lived and thought, nor of What secret essence he was made. All this Was veiled in darkness-still you felt he lived, And walked, without a question, by his side. Although between you there were silences, And constant strangeness-deep as any graveYou still had faith that he was always there, Though hidden from you by blank walls of flesh. Then have faith now!

If spirits can surmount the wall's of fesh, Why should they perish in the halls of death?

A man may leave a house, and walk once more Along a trail-and yet we do not say, "The man is dead."

So do not cry, "My loved one lives no more."

Say rather, "!Ie has gone along the trail To wider ventures and a freer air."

Then put aside your bitterness, your tears. You dared to love-dare now to pay the price ! Look down upon his face and say: "I'm glad We found each other in life's mysteryGlad that we lsrew the miracle of love. Then go, my darling; go, as I shall go, With head held hig-h in grateful memory, And heart set on great chances yet to come!

God bless you, dear ! Go free ! I'11 caqry on !

-Elsie Robinson.

A Gluestion of Volue

It was raining hard on Central Avenue in Darktown, and Mandy Hawkins, caught out with no umbrella, pulled her skirt up over her head for protection. Said another woman, standing in a doorway: "Put you' skirt down, Lady, don't you know you' showin' you' anatomy?"

Said Mandy: "I don'care if I is. I done had dis anatomy fo'thuty yeahs-but dis hat's n9w."

The God ldeq

Dark and drear must.be life's pilgrimage to those who see in heaven no star of hope. The first religion was probably born in the heart of some ancient mother who knelt at the death bed of her first born, and from that great yearning of her loving heart to see that child again, sprang the first belief in immortality. Even the great doubter, Ingersoll, in uttering the most eloquent funeral sermon that ever fell from human lips, declared that in the hour of death "love hears the rustle of a wing." The God-idea has been the chief underlying principle of civilization from John Stonehatchet until today. Crude it may be, but essential just the same. To many men religion is an absolute essential, without which their lives would be torture and gloom. What boots it that man be born and that women bring forth offspring in pain unspeakable, if only to glut the highways of death? Men like Stalin and Hitler, in trying to stamp out the God-idea, create their own destruction.

A Dunning Letter From An Ediror

"Lives of great men oft remind us, Honest men don't have a chance, And in dying leave behind us Bigger patches on our pants. On our pants once rich and glossy, There are stripes of different hue, All because subscribers linger, And don't pay us what is due. Let us then be up and doing, Send our mite however small, Or when the snows of winter strikes us, We will have no pants at all."

Different Now

A Sunday school teacher asked a small girl why Ananias was so severely punished. The little one thought a minute and then answered, "Please, teacher, they weren't so used to lying in those days."

To Do

It isn't the job we intended to do, Or the labor we've just begun, That finds us right on the ledger sheet, It's the work we have really done.

Our credit is built upon things we do, Our debts are things we shirk, The man who totals the biggest plus, Is the man who completes his work.

Good intentions do not pay bills, It's easy enough to plan, To wish is the job of an office boy, To DO is the work of a man.

Four Million New Cors

The automobile builders of the United States turned out four million new passenger cars in the first 32 weeks of 1953. The totat passenger car production of 1952 was just 4,337,000 units, due to the controlled materials program. Passenger car registrations in the nation have passed the 43,000,000 mark already this year; and more than 10.000.000 trucks are in service.

Proper Piling of Redwood

San Francisco, Calif .-Effective control of quality is absolutely essential to the lumber industry if it is to develop new markets and retain present markets in the face of strong competition, Williard E. Pratt, manager of the technical division of the California Redwood Association, told the seventh annual meeting of the Forest Products Research Society in Memphis, Tenn.

Pratt declared that "competitive products enjoy a relatively high degree of uniformity and the lumber industry must meet this challenge by continually improving quality."

Specifically, his talk developed the application of statistical quality control to the drying of lumber. may be employed as effective tools in the control of the

He pointed out that statistical quality control techniques final moisture content of kiln-dried lumber by indicating when the drying process is functioning properly, as well as when corrective action should be taken.

He added that quality control also provides information regarding the average moisture content of dry lumber being produced as well as the spread of moisture contents around this average.

In another talk delivered before the society, Victor H. Clausen, CRA technician, summarized the air seasoning experiments which have been conducted by the association's seasoning committee.

Clausen pointed out that spacings of piles of lumber in a drying yard have a profound effect upon the rate and uniformity of drying.

The experiments conducted in the Arcata, California, area shorn'ed that the most economical spacing between

piles is approximately eight feet,'although this spacing may vary in difierent locations and at different times of the year.

When the experiments started, it was common practice for redwood manufacturers to space lumber approximately two feet apart. Wider spacings now in use have resulted in extremely large savings to the industry, he said.

The Colifornio Pines

Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana) belongs to the true White Pine group, and both botanically and physically closely resembles its famous relative, Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus.) This is the largest Pine tree in the world. It grows tall, straight, and with a clean trunk that has an important bearing on its lumber value. The average adult Sugar Pine tree is from 15O to 175 leet in height, and from 4 to 5 feet in diameter, although occasional trees of this species have been found 230 feet high and 12 feet in diameter. The wood is soft, straight-grained, and holds its shape well, making it ideal for pattern stock.

Fifty years ago an experienced Eastern pattern maker moved to California, and complained that only Eastern Pine was fit for pattern stock, and demanded that they get him some of that lumber. Suspecting that he was prejudiced they shipped him some Sugar Pine back from Chicago, and he found it perfectly satisfactory, not knowing it was not Eastern White Pine. Green, it weighs more than Eastern White Pine; but dry, they weigh the same.

Ponderosa Pine (Pinus Ponderosa) was called "California White Pine" for two generations, until a Federal order forbade the further use of that name. Botanically it is a Western Yellow Pine' This is a massive, straighttrunked tree that grows to an average of 125 to 140 feet in height, and 3 to 4 feet in diameter, although occasional trees reach a height ol 2ffi feet and a diameter of 8 feet'

The trunk of the Ponderosa is clear of branches for 40 to 60 feet. It is second only to Sugar Pine for size in the Pine family. It is light in weight, soft of grain, and holds its shape well. It grows in vast forests and is available in unlimited quantities.

Deoth of R. G. Nelson

R. G. "Dick" Nelson, owner of the Buena Park Lumber Company, Buena Park, California, died August 20, at the age of 54. His father founded the lumber firm in 1904. Mr. Nelson was one of the rnost widely known retailers in Southern California. (Details will follow next issue.)

C)wing to the great size of Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock, Western red cedar and Sitka spruce logs, sawmills of the West Coast are of heavier construction and equipment is larger and stronger than in other lumber producing regions.

Colored Logs For Fire Plqces

Colored-flame Pres-to-1ogs, packaged three to a handle-equipped carton, are being produced by Weyerhaeuser Timber Company at Longvierv, Washington.

Identical in size and appearance to the rvellknown cylindrical fireplace fuel, the ns11: product burns with a rainborv-hued firelight for as long as there is any log to burn. The secret, sa1' Weyerhaeuser oflrcials, is in mixing the chemicals with the dry sawdust and planing mill shavings before they are compressed by the 165,000 pounds pressure of the Pres-to-log machine.

The new logs are packaged in an attractive carton, equipped with a carrying handle which is expected to give them rvide distribution as gifts. Some of the colored-flame logs are already in the hands of dealers, rvith other dealers expecting to receive shiprnent in the near future.

A by-product of the lumber industry, Pres-tologs are slightly less than 13 inches long, 4 and '/s inches in diameter, and u'eigh eight pounds.

Grqin Slope Teco Detector

The limitations placed on grain slope in lumber and wood products, manufactured to meet military and industrial specifications, have increased the use of the unique Teco slope of grain detector, according to Alden K. Smith, sales manager of Timber Engineering Company, research afliliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

The detector is a simple though highll' accurate instrument used by manufacturers and inspectors of lumber and wood products, for which specifications place various limits on grain slope. The Teco detector establishes the slope of grain more quickly and definitely than the old method of applying colored liquid and trying to determine the direction of its florv.

New Moore Instqllotions qt Hollow free Mill

In the middle oI 1952 the Hollou' Tree Lumber Companv, Ukiah, California, had just started the installation of dry kiln facilities when fire destroyed their planing mill. In addition to installation of dry kilns the company had contemplated several major changes in their saw mill and the fire thus presented three major construction problems.

They have recently completed all three major jobs, although not without problems, and entered the 1953 season in good operational condition.

The Hollow Tree Lumber Company is a corporation composed of William Moores, president; William Smith, vice president; Larry Courtright, secretary-treasurer, and Warren Wood, general superintendent, and the operation consists of sawmill, planing mill, remanufacturing facilities as well as air and kiln drying equipment.

With recent changes and improvements the sawmill is cutting 95 M board feet per eight-hour shift using double circular saws and the mill normally operates two shifts a day.

In addition to the normal yearly maintenance the recent shutdown resulted in new carriage, enlarged and improved log d,eck and storage ahead of the mill and lengthening of the green chain.

The sawmill site is on the west side of the Ukiah Valley and lumber is transported by truck from the mill site, approximately lr/a miles, to the planing mill and drying facilities on the rail head.

The planing mill has large rail siding capable of handling 12 cars of lumber per day, truck loading and unloading area, air drying facilities, rough green storage, dry kiln, sorting chain with resaw and planing equipment, remanufacturing facilities and area for installation of shed storage and additional kilns. An H. O. tilting breakdown hoist manufactured by Moore Dry Kiln Company is now being installed. Incoming lumber from their own mill or outside purchased lumber can be handled over the sorting chain and/or through resaw andfor through planer and hence shipped out to be air dried then kiln dried and ready for shipment or remanufacturing.

To date a large air drying area has been completed and the first kiln has been operating for some four months. A large 300-horse po\^/er Kenanee heating boiler was in-

stalled for producing steam at 10-15 PSI for the present and future kilns and oil is used in the automatic boiler.

The present kiln is Moore-Cross-Circulation type 32 by 104 unit holding approximately 100 board feet per charge. The kiln unit is of the double-track double-end type with building construction of three layers ol 2x6 T & C heart redwood.

This modern Moore kiln has such features as:

1. Main line automatic reheaters as well as overhead ventilators for high moisture content stock.

2. Automatic fan reversal and complete automatic control of wet and dry bulb and consequently relative humidity.

3. Large diameter overhead fans on a single shaft driven with a single motor for high rate and volume of cir,culation but with normal investment, in fan and electrical equipment.

Present plans include erection of storage sheds and additional Moore kiln facilities to meet market demands.

Foresl Fire Menoce Increqses

Regional Forester Clare W. Hendee of the U. S. Forest Service in San Francisco, and State Forester DeWitt Nelson of, the California State Division of Forestry in Sacramento issued a joint appeal today calling on all Californians to ob se rve extra care with fire when visiting the wildland areas of the State.

The forests and grasslands are much drier this year than last, which accounts in part for the alarming increase in the number and severity of forest fires that have occurred so far this year. This factor, coupled with the increase in use of our forests, is cause for concern when we consider that we still have the worst part of the forest fire season ahead of us.

Will Cure Volley Ook

The Pacific Coast Hardwood Company is a comparatively new concern which has gone into the business of manufacturing lumber from ordinary Valley Oak, long considered a worthless wood. A sawmill has been constructed at Corning, California, which produces 15,000 feet of rough lumber daily, and, according to report, is only the start of a big and complete manuf acturing and remanufacturing plant to make flooring, molding, etc. An inventor, E. L. Reedy, has a process for drying this oak so that it will not shrink or buckle, according to published repofts.

Open End Mortgoges For Home Building

New York-"Today it is possible to open-end a mortgage in every state but Texas," says Lif.e magazine in an article on an increasingly popular method of financing homes. "Open-end mortgage financing has worked for a long time," Life says, "but fer,v people have been arvare of it, In England it has been a practice for years."

The Life article defines an open-end mortgage as "one, basically, that can be reopened, renerved for the amount that has been paid off and, in some cases, increased."

To illustrate the effect of the open-end mortgage, Life offers the example of the couple whose size house and mortgage suited them fine at the time of the original purchase. "Within five years the $10,000 mortgage, paid oft'at $79 a month, was dovi'n to $7,455." However, while the husband's salary had increased so had his family. "Bv now the house was far too small. He rvanted to build an addition. but the standard FHA Title I loan would have to be repaid within three years and the total monthly house payments would jump to $160, rvhich he could not afford. He went unhappily to the bank. The banker suggested the solution: borrow the same amount that had been paid off on the mortgage, add it onto the very same mortgage through an 'openend.' The monthly payments would not increase. Instead the life of the mortgage would be extended five years."

The Life article points out that this method of repaying the loan is but one of several available in the U. S. today under standard open-end rirortgage provisions. Some call for increased payments; some vary the length of time of payment; others involve variations on time and amount of payment.

The type of improvements allowable under open-end mortgages also varies around the country. According to Life, "Some states-Louisiana and Connecticut, for example-limit open-end loans to home improvements. Some limit the amount of money that can be added on the original mortgage. Other states are less strict. In Illinois you can use your home as collateral, if you u'ish, to raise chinchillas, and in Kansas to buy an electric organ."

Calif. National Forests Yield 10.9 Million Dollars

Revenues from the National Forests of California enriched the U. S, Treasury approximately $10,943,500 during the past fiscal year ending June 30, 1953 according to a statement by Regional Fiscal Agent L. P. Wilsey.

Mr. Wilsey stated that the receipts from the National Forests were derived from the sales of timber and forage, and from special land and power use rentals. Twenty-five per cent of the total receipts are returned to'the State, which in turn apportions it to the Counties containing National Forest land. Approximately $2,735,870 will thus be made available to the Counties for public schools and public road programs.

Seventy Forestry Speokers For Colorodo Springs

When more than one thousand professional foresters gather on September I4-I7 at Colorado Springs for the annual meeting of the Society of American Foresters, they will hear 70 speakers discuss forestry, together with related problems cif land and water utilization. The theme will be "Nature on Edge."

Total National Forest earnings in the United States for the 1953 Fiscal Year were about 76.5 million dollars-an increase of 5 million over the preceding year.

Timber sale revenues from the California Region were $10,259,460.86 Special Land Use and po'iver rentals totaled $346,295.81 and National Forest grazing returned $332,736.18. Total receipts for the California Region were somewhat less than the preceding year, reflecting a slight drop in volume and value of timber sold.

All receipts are deposited in the U. S. Treasury at the time of collection. Mr. Wilsey said that distribution to the States will be comoleted r,vithin the next few months.

The program will comprise a general session, 11 technical sessions, three field trips, and two dinners, one an outdoor chuck wagon dinner in the Garden of the Gods. A special program of activities for ladies has been arranged.

The technical sessions will feature papers and discussions on forestry education, silviculture, forest management, forest economics and policy, forest-wildlife management, forest-range management,'forest recreation, watershed management, forest products, private forestry, and public relations.
