If temptation toward long-windedness in your business correspondence assails you, take thought of the order alleged to have been given by General Marshall to General Eisenhower: "Proceed to London. Invade Continent. Destroy German Army."

Someone asked a saitol *tJ"a nl planned to do when his enlistment time is up. He said he is going to get off the ship, sling a pair of oars over his shoulder, and start walking inland until they ask him what the oars are. There he is going to settle down. No more boats for him.

The fast commercial *n*rl" ,lrrr* 400 miles an hour passed over an express train going in the same direction. The pilot of the plane looked down to where the train was shrinking into the background, and remarked with tolerant contempt: "The covered wagon."

Great men have ,ro "rrTrr, io pl"i.rai"es, no jealousy, no vanity, no arrogance. From their true heights they look calmly down; their quality is self-evident and needs no propagandists. ***

Voltaire, the great Frenchman who did more than any other to strike the shackles of slavery from the wrists and minds of humanity, used to drink 70 cups of coffee a day. You'll seek far to find a better recommendation for coffee than that.

When a man declared to Voltaire that he considered the finest form of government to be a monarchy, the Frenchman replied: "Only if the monarch is Marcus Aurelius."

That wise Roman "*i"roX, -ilo- Voltaire admired so much, reigned from 161 to 180 A.D. One of his fine writings was this: "All parts of the universe are interwoven and tied together with a sacred bond. No one thing is foreign and unrelated to another. The general connection gives unity and ornament to the world. For the world, take it altogether, is but one. There is but one sort of matter to make it of ; one God that pervades it; one law to guide it, the common reason of all reasonable things; and one truth."

mand of the language, but that you had to furnish the brain yourself. ,1. * {.

There is one function of advertising that should never be overlooked. When you advertise, you show that you are proud of your business, and want to tell people about it. That removes suspicion of that business. It's the birds that fly in darkness that people are suspicious and afraid of, not the ones that sing in your front yard in the sunshine.

Socrates said, in defending himself before his judges: "During my life I have not sought ambition or wealth. I have not sought to adorn my body, but I have sought to adorn my soul with the jewels of patience and justice and, above all, with the love of liberty.'i

Someone asked the great electrical wizard, Steinmetz, how a young man might best work to achieve success, and he replied: "Do not try to see how fast you can make your machine run, but try rather to see how perfectly you can tune it, and line it and make it operate; then the speed will take care of itself."

Someone asked John 'I-*rJrr" lu"Gr"- one time to tell the difference between a big-league and a bush-league ballplayer, and he said that was easy, that you could tell them every time. He said that a big-league player, when at bat, steps forward to meet the ball, while the bushleaguer waits for the ball to get to him. Baseball has no monopoly on that philosophy. It's true in all walks of life.

Years ago someon" #o,"*" *ry i-pr"ssive magazine article on "The thunders of silence." His idea was that silence, properly handled, is a powerful and useful weapon. John Selden, a famous British jurist of long ago, had the same idea when he said that "Wise men say nothing in dangerous times." A French philosopher, La Rochefoucald, said that "There is an eloquent silence which serves, sometimes to approve, sometimes to condemn," And, in "FIamlet," Shakespeare says: "The rest is silence."

Son Bernqrdino qnd Riverside Yords Crippled by Two Unions

Lumber and Sawmill Workers Local 1959. and General Truckdrivers, Warehousemen and Helpers Local 467 of the Teamsters lJnion called a strike in August that crippled 26 retall lumberyards in San Bernardino and tr'.iverside counties and threatened to halt work on several construction projects in the area. The two unions are involved in wage disputes with the local dealer groups there following expiration of existing contracts on July 1. The c,entracts lvere extended twice before negotiations broke down.

The strike was called against the Gibson Lumber Co. yards in San Bernardino and Victorville, Calif., and the Valley Lumber & Supply Co., Indio. The dealers trtok the position that a strike against one member was a strike against all. The yards were kepl open by managemt:nt and clerical personnel but no deliveries were being made,

The first break in the strike occurred Sunday, r\ugust 23, when State Conciliator Merle C. Wissler called both sides to a meeting scheduled for Friday afternoon, August 28, in the Antlers hotel in San Bernardino at 2:00 p.m. He said the session would bring together representatives of Locai 467, Local 1959 and the Kite-area dealers to arrange a series of parleys on a settlement of the two-weekold strike, which has idled 230 workers since August 11 when the unions struck one yard and the 24 others decided to close their doors in support of the struck yard.

Stroit, Bingley Elected Officers of Southern Colifornio Door Institute

Chas. E. Strait, president of Strait Door and Plywood Corp., El Monte, was elected president of the Southern California Door Institute at a general meeting of the membership August 6. Mr. Strait is well known throughout the door and plywood industry of the west and has been a pioneer in the development of volume distribution since the close of World War II.

Pete Bingley, general manager of Regal Door Company, El Monte, was named to the important post of secretarytreasurer at the same meeting of the SCDI and both men have taken over the active administration of the Institute affairs. Bingley is a popular young executive in the door field and, prior to joining Regal Door, handled sales and distribution for Ostling and Strait in the Southern California area.

Southern Gqlifornicr Door Industry Foces 'Disasferr' Scys Stroit

"We have requested that immediate action be taken to properly control all shipments of Lauan Mahogany door skins entering the United States," Charles E. Strait, newly elected president of the Southern California Door Institute, told The California Lumber Merchant last month.

Strait declared that more than 500 million square feet of both glued and veneer forms of Lauan door skins are on hand in this country right now, which is four times the normal supply and mors than adequate to produce 15 million Philippine Mahogany doors for the building trades.

Strait declared that, under present conditions, it will.take approximately two years to use this huge inventory by the door manufacturers and it is imperative that additional shipments must be stopped and controlled immediately.

Because most of the vast oversupply reaches United States ports through third country trans-shipment, the price on "allocation shipments" has dropped from $87 to $80, with additional third-country shipments presently being offered at less than $72.

"We believe all parties concerned should sit down and resolve our difficulties before it is too late," Strait declared.

He has suggested a meeting with all U.S. plywood importers, which should include door manufacturers from all sections of the United States, Representatives of the National Woodworkers Manufacturing Association, Northwest Door Manufacturers and Southern California Door Institute should invite members of the Japanese trading houses, shipping on allocations (license), -Japanese Ply-wood Manuiictrirers Association and a repreientative from MITI (Japanese government control board) to attend these meetings to stop, once and for all, illegitimate, backdoor, third-country trans-shipments.

Wn"tr you sell Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Kiln-dried Lumber, you sell satisfaction.

That's because Weyerhaeuser's scientific kilndrying removes the excess natural moistures of wood through controlled seasoning, preparing Iumber for the best result in final uses.

Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Lumber, because of kiln-drying, has increased strength propertiesbending strength, vertical strength, stiffness, and hardness.

AIso, kiln-dried lumber holds nails securely, adds strength to the framing, and substantially reduces movement in the finished building.

Builders have confidence in Weyerhaeuser 4Square Kiln-dried Lumber because they know it means better buildings with fewer complaints or call-backs.

You can have confidence when you sell Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Kiln-dried Lumber because it means satisfied customers with repeat orders.

Kiln-drying offers oulslanding advanloges

seasoning before milling to size promotes a more uniform degree of dimensional stability in lumber. Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Kiln-dried Lumber is thus prepared to better resist possible dimensional changes.

Di

Finish ond Workobility-By kiln-drying, the cellular structure of wood takes on a more uniform compactness which improves workability. Kiln-dried lumber welcomes all types of finishes while prolonging their protective life.

Strength ond Durobility -Enduring strength is important in the structure you build. Kiln-drying greatly increases the strength properties of lumber by the firm "patterning" of the wood cells and fibers. The structural factors of durability are thus preserved.

Your Weyerhaeuser District Representative will be happy to show you how you can turn these advantages into extra sales. Ask him for more information.

This report shows the distribution of redwood shipments to_state and to regions for the years 1955, 1956, lc)57 and 1958, as reported by fifteen mills.

Table No. 1 shows the distribution to the regions used for the Monthly Mill -Report. 19. 1958, two sets"of figures are shown, one taken frgm the Monthly Mill Report ani the other taken from the Distribution by States repo.t. As has always been the case, there are diffirences in ihe two sets of figures but these differences are not great enough to have any statistical signifi cance.

For the fifth consecutive year, shipments have been made to each of the forty-eight states and to the District of Columbia. Only_about oie third of the states showed ship- ments lower in 1958 than in 1957 and most of the decreasis were relatively small.

. Ap in other years, there does not seem to be any pattern in the changes in volume shipped to various states. Ship_ ments to California decreased-9'million feet, to Westein states decreased 2 Tillion feet, and to Rocky Mountain states increased 1 million feet. Shipments to s[ates east of the Rockies increased 24 million ieet and U.S. Offshore shipments increased about 1 million feet.

Texas, Ohio and Illinois have been the top three states outside of California for the past five years.

'Green Stomps,' Self-Service Poy Off for This Yord

"We now have three years' experience in the use of S&H Green Stamps and we know that cash develops a better financial position-and that is just what we havemore cash in the till."

It was Frank Westlake speaking, general manager of Lincoln Avenue Lumber & Mill Company, Pasadena. Frank is a 38-year veteran in Southern California lumber and has had many years' experience in lumber sales and distribution at all levels.

"We rlse the daily newspapers, radio and direct mail to draw our clientele and we handle nothing but standardbrand building materials and better grades of lumber, wall surfacings, plywoods and paints, but we know 'the green stamp' is leader number one in our league," said Jim Davee, sales promotion .and advertising manager for the progressive Crown City retail concern.

The modern retail lumber yard is a complete self-service ooeration.

- Attractive displays of all do-it-yourself materials cover three warehouses and an acre of storage area. Mock-Ups are on display showing the exact uses and installations bf the materials offered for sale. A complete line of hardrl'are, paints and tools are available for customer selection.

Security Paint Company, along with U.S. Plywood, maintain permanent displays in the serve-yourself store.

It requires the services ol 25 trained employes to handle the sales and service departments of this fast-moving organi"ation..And a special plan room. selection and sahple area is available to the contractor. Skilled help works right alongside the contractor when putting the required materials together for delivery.

Lincoln Avenue Lumber & Mill Company sports an eight-car Union Pacific spur, three delivery trticks-and two units of mobile yard equipment. At present the sales and service departments are being reorganized to better account for and keep track of the thousands of items offered the public.

In order,to_ accomolish greater efficiency, various departments are being established with a departmental head rvho will be accountable to management for all inventory and sales in his particular division.

They_will be responsible for the housekeeping, too, because Frank Westlake learned years ago that it is the orderly operation that draws the iepeat cistomer.

"Yes, si1-we are convinced that the Green Stamp is a definite way to improve sales and assure steady growth on a cash basis. And cash is very important in our rising economy of loose credit," Mr. Westlake said.

Lincoln Avenue Lumber & Mill Company was established at the close of World War II to handle the great demand for building materials and lumber for the building boom in progress 15 years ago. The boom has been continuous and competition keen, and it has been necessary to keep the financial affairs of the company liquid and healthy. That is where the Green Stamp enters the picture.

The customer who formerly charged his purchases for 30-60 to 90 days now pays cash in order to take advantage of the end product discount offered through the stamps.

"Green Stamps are a definite sales-leader and businessgetter," said Mr. Westlake. His firm has the exclusive in the lumber category for the Pasadena area at a less than 3/o overall cost with an experience rating of more than 75lo cash sales.

Lincoln Avenue Lumber & Mill Company offers the builder and contractor a complete building suppty service.

A sustained-yield timber production of 25 billion board feet a year-S or 6 billion feet more than todav's harvest a year-S than today's

rate-is predicted for the West by E. L. Kolbe, Portland, chief forester of the \Mestern PinC Association.

Speaking December 12 at the annual conference of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association, Kolbe said an expanded forest economy is possible for the 12 western states where the manufacture of lumber, paper, plywood and .other forest products forms one of the hainstiys of

employment.

"The trent "The trend of timber growth is up," he said, pointing to findings in official surveyi of past and present. As a new-e*ample he cited the CaliforniJ strrdies made in fhe nine and am_ple California studies made in the pine and redwood regions which shorwed en increasc f"^- 4{i ro \64^ hich showed an increase from 40 to 561o reqwooo whtch zl0 between 1954 and 1957 ln "high order" forestry practiced on

private timberlands.

Reporting^"measurable progress" in logging practices, in the war_on hre, rn pest control, planting and seeding, thinnrng, salvagrng of tree mortality and in utilization of forest growth, Kolbe drew a positive picture of the \Mest's forest future.

He showed a slide picture of. a 7}-year-old stand on an 9rygq" industrial tree farm that is growing at a rate of 1,300 board feet per acre per year andiontainls about 70,000 te-et per,acre now after three thinnings. Another picture was of a redwood tree farm in Californla where th-e timber is 77 years old and totals 70,000 feet per acre after two thinnings that harvested 35,000 feet pei acre.

Lumber Future Safe in Young Growth

and we will look to the non-industrial private lands for much of the small-tree production."

Resolutions affecting forest recreation, Columbia river development, animal damage to trees, wilderness administration, and timber loss to insects and disease were adopted by the 49th Western Forestry Conference.

The 500 forest managers and tree farmers from eleven western states and British Columbia pledged support of 'reasonable expenditures for developmenf of additional forest campgrounds and other facilities on public lands which are in harmony with the objectives of multiple-use forest management" to provide for -the fast-growing popn- lation with its increasing leisure time.

- _flq conference opposed proposals for setting up a Columbia River Developmint Corporation whose br:oa.i authority in recreation development, watershed management, and preservation and propagation of fish and wildlife would be superim.posed on existing state and federal agencies now responsible for conservation and land management.

Urge Congress to Fight Wilderness Bills

The forestry group pointed to serious mounting damage to timberlands by rodents and larger animals and called upon the federal government for research to combat the severe economic losses being caused.

Another resolution spotlighted the huge annual loss of saw timber, an estimated five billion board feet annually, caused by insects and diseases in the eleven western states and urged stepped-up federal research to control and prevent such losses.

The Conference urged western Congressional delegationsto oppose currently proposed wilderness preserva- tion bills in Congress as premature, since the -National Outdoor Recreation Resouries Review Commission set uo recently by Congress will not complete its survey of thl nation's recreational resources until late 1961.

Another resolution cited the danger of fire, windthrow, and insect and disease epidemics in roadless wilderness areas to forests there and on adjoining managed lands, and urged "that this important consideratibn be weighed in any proposal dedicating federal lands to roadless *ilderness.t'

Conversion of old-growth forests to young stands changes

.loss to gain, Kolbe &plained. A receni stu"dy showed sjme over-ripe stands to be losing from 1,000 to 3,000 board feet per acre annually due to natural forces. Converted to young forests through harvesting, they average 500 feet oi *ori pe:^ac-re in growth, which means a total gain of 1,500 to 3,500 feet per acre per year, he said.

"Increasing foreit production," he said, "is a rucr€asrng'. rorest proouctron," .'ts apparent everywh-ere.. As the present trend of intensive forestry spreads further over our western areas and as the 46 millioir acre_s of old-growth forests are made productive, we should reach a net growth production level oflbout 25 billion board feet a year. And this estimate may well prove conservative if unforeseen technological advantes take place."

The Keep Green efforts, the resolution said, and the cooperation of the general public were a major factor in keep- ing fi-re losses at a relatively low figure d-espite the hazardous fire weather prevailing throughout the western states and Canada during the 1958 season. Public and private forest protection agencies were also commended. -

The most serious threat to beneficial forest conservation policies is any proposal like the Wilderness Bill introduced 9uring the last session of Congress, which would impose by regulation a single purpose use on many of the public lands of the West, declared Wendell T. Robie. head of Auburn Lumber Co., and chairman of California's State B_oar{ of Forestry, in opening the three-day session of the 49th Western Forestry Conference.

Lumber Dealer Wendell Robie Heard From

It was a lumberman, James Marshall, who in 1849 brought 100,000 people to California in the big Gold Rush. The migration of people has continued. Today in California one new resident comes to the state every 55 seconds. looking for other riches

Lumber which helped build the early-day cities continues as a necessity in today's civilization, said Robie. He predicted that in the next few decades Reproduction Forests would not only support the state's present forest industries but would also protect the valuable watersheds. Young forests already supply much of the timber output.

"All other national hopes and aspirations aie secondary to a successful program of conservation. Without pure

Tree Fcrming Neqrs 'Golden Milestone' Of 50 Million Acres

Washington, D.C. (Special)-This years marks a golden milestone in American forestry. Some time around mid-summer, the American Tree Farm System of growing trees as a crop on taxpaying lands will certify its 50 millionth acre. Thus, 18 years after its humble beginning, the Tree Farm movement has flowered into probably the greatest voluntary forest management program on private lands the world has ever known.

The state having the honor of certifying the 50millionth acre in the Tree Farm program will be determined in the normal course of inspections and certifications by Tree Farm committees in the various states. Only after the records 'have been filed with Americdn Forest Products Industries, the national sponsor, rvill the locale of the "golden milestone" be known.

water, fertile soil and self-renewing forests, our cities would be bankrupt and there would be no homes," declared Robie.

The lumber dealer warned of the growing problems concerned with another natural resource, a continuous supply of pure air. The Smog problem is increasing in seriousniss by a geometric progression. A recent U.S. Public Health Service Conference in Washington, D.C. emphasized that a great layer of carbon dioxide and contaminants is growing ove-r this continent, which could in time become smothering to fauna and human life.

The excessive volume of carbon dioxide created by millions of combustion motors can best be removed from the air by vegetation, which uses it in its growth process. It has been suggested that ten trees be planted for every automobile exhaust to capture the deadly monoxide. This would create more tree areas.

But this would create other problems. Vegetation draws upon available water supplies. Tests show that a blue oak 15 feet tall may yield 5 gallons of water per hour if there is moisture in the soil. A redwood of similar size will yield about twice that amount. The water yield is proportional to the leaf area. There's one rewarding aspect to such water withdrawals : tests show a fermentation tendency of the water, which could foster an alcohol industry rivaling Kentucky's famed product.

Grow Trees to Fight Air Pollution

Thus air pollution, water shortages and tree growing may be very much related in future years, predicted Dealer Robie, who pointed out that water consumption by trees affects water flow appreciably by reducing it- quantity.

The problem of managing people will equal ihat of-managing forests several decades hence, predicted President Waller H. Reed of the Western Forestry Conference.

"If we seem crowded today in Califoinia with 14 million people, think what it will be like in 1975 with 28 million people. Forty percent of the future U.S. population is expected to set up housekeeping in the West. This will mean less acreage available for forests, plus intensifying pressures for water, timber supplies, recreation, mining and grazing," summarized Reed.

."We must demonstrate tolerance of multiple use. We must inform the public about basic forest valu-es. We must not lock up timber for single-use groups, to the economic detriment of an entire area," recommended Reed. He predicted that unless foresters solve the people-forest relationship satisfactorily, much of the effort being expended toward permanent timber production could piove-to be less advisable.

Despite a vigorous year of outstanding accomplishment

in w^estern .forestry, storm clouds looming on the horizon in 1959 include a growing timber taxation problem, some resurgence of insect attacks and renewed attacks by groups seeking_to zone forest areas for single use or restriit6d use, reported Forestry Counsel H. R. Glascock, Jr. to the membership of the 49th Western Forestry Conference.

Santa Claus gets 40,000 Christmai trees out of the an- nual timber harvest from Southern Pacific Railroad Co.'s 4&,W acres of managed commercial forest land in California, reported Kermit Cuff, chief forester, Southern pacific Land Co., S. F., one of four men on a panel discussing the management of railroad lands before 50O foresters as-sembled here for the 49th Conference. The comoanv currently is bringing the virgin forests into growth iegulation for future years. About 50/o of the volume is being rimoved in the first cut. It will take 23 years to cover the iirgin forests at this rate.

Forest recreational users may be asked to pay a fireinsurance fee to cover costs of-the damage they-do each year through their carelessness with fire, suggesied Henry J. Vaux, dean, School of Forestry, lJniv. of CiJif., Berkeley.

In California alone, travelers, hunters, fishermen and recreationists in recent years have started 38/o ol all mancaused fires. On this ratio, about 1500 fires Der year are due to public forest use in Ore., Wash. and Calif.

^ Vaux gave credit to the Keep Green and Smokey Bear fi.re-prevention programs for holding down number of fires. But he believed thai even in the facJof continued educational programs, fires .due to public use will increase at least SO/o in numbers during the hext decade.

This is becausJ a population surge that will double the uumber of people in the eleven western states by 1980. compared to 1955. plus a shortened work week, will pour millions of .asphalt-jungle refugees into forested areai on long weekends.

Men to Match the Mountains

."Bringing men to match the mountains is being done with a vengeance in California. Her forests alone cu"rrently provide.nearly 6O million man days per year of public u.. of all kinds. Recreational uses of Cflifoinia na?ional forest lands will expand 70/o between 1955 and 1965," prophesied \raux.

He declared that a public user of the forest must be made aware that it is a valuable asset and that he should have a sense of personal responsibility for protecting it. Because the pocketbook is tl-re most directly nerve-connected to all human motivations, the fee idea offers possibilities.

Vaux suggested that a fire-insurance fee of twenty cents per man day of public use in California's federal forests would cover the cost. and damage associated with public use of these forests. An actuariaf basis for damage aisessment could be rvorked out. The fee could be varied vearlv irr proportion to the incidence of damage, as an inceniive t-o spur caution in the timber.

"Whether we like it or not, direct public use of the forest is going to be a fact of life in managing public and private forest lands. During the next l5 yeais wd will put ai much emph-asis on whole forest use as we have in the last l5 years on whole log utilization," predicted Vaux.

. First- and second-prizewinning essays submitted by seniors of western forestry schools-were named at the annual session of the 49th Western Forestry Conference. First prize of $100 went to Robert R. Ziemei, IJniversity of California, Berkeley, for his "Logging Upon Forested'Areas of High R_ec-r,eatjonal Value" essay.-Secbnd prize of $75 went !9- R.jd M. Kenady, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, for his essay "Justifying Thinniigs in young Stands of Douglas Fir."

Ziemer cited the work of the Big Bear Timber Co. of Redlands, California and other west&n area logging shows which considered preservation and enhancemeni oirecreational values. Kenady urged the investment of time and money in thinning and cleanings in immature stands to increase their value.

lmporfed Hqrdwood Plywood Assn. Proposing Chonges qnd lncreqses

In Rotes on lmported Plywood

9-l Y.y 12, the Trans-Continental Freight Bureau held public hearings on TCFB Application D-6,+08, containing . proposals which had been submitted by the Standins RatE committee itself on imported plywood. The applicaiion of the_Standing Rate committee- tiad been protesied by the IHPA, which, acting jointly with the Northern California Ports & Terminals-Eiureau, had on May 5 submitted a counter-propos-a! to that of the Standing Rate committee. This protest of May 5 had been coordinited with, and hacl received the support of, the Associated Traffic Services in Los Angeles.

Appearing befor_e the Standing Rate committee in Chicago, arguing against Application D-6408, and presentins arg'uments for the joint IHPA-NCP&TB alteinate pro"posal,_were Al Eipshman of the M. S. Cowen Co.. ac^tit-tg Qr-.!HPA,-and James McJunkin, acting for the Northeril California Ports & Terminals Bureau. Heard at the hearing in addition to the joint representatives were C. E. Jacobsoi of the Associated Traffic Services in Los Angeles; H. Xotpac.ke,_t_raffic manager of the Walled Lake Door Co., De!I9itj- Mr. Barclay, traffic manag'er, U.S. Plywood, and R. W. E,rnst, traffic manager, General Plywobd, Louisville, Kentucky. Present at the hearing as obiervers were Wil- liam Hart of Fiddes-Moore, and- L. T. Waidell, regional manager, Port of San Francisco.

. Hipshman_and McJunkin presented their views in opposi- tion to the ICFB Application D-6408-and supportine the joint_ IHPA-NCP&TB alternate simplified commodit/pro- posal which they argued would essentially: (l) Retain^the current .commodity de-scription in the import tariff (TCFB 30-1) with some modificatjons, (2) Cancei the current rates in the import tariff and replace them with scales of rates equal to those now in effect in the lumber tariffs with the exception of Groups 3, 9 and 10, where the rates now in effect in Item 3775, TCFB 2-Y are used. (3) Amend various items in Item TCFF 2-Y pertaining to iumber and ply- wood so that they will _not ?pply on ihe imported varieties, (!.{ryend the commodity desciiptions in the iumber tariffs (TC!'B- 17, 18, 27 a1d 281 to intlude the description pro- posed for thesg articles in the Import Tarifi ,o to ,flo* movement on domestic rates when subject thereto, (5) Cancel the mixed carload provisions in thl Lumber fariffs as recommended by the Standing Rate Committee, (6) Publish an arbitary of lOc per .*1 over the rates on un'- finished plywood ior plywood with one or two coats of laquer in both the Import Tariffs and the Lumber Tariff. _ Jacobson supported the loint alternate proposal, and he, tsarclay, Kolpacke, and Erhst filed protesis a inst DgOg; especially stressing the prefinishing panel ".p.it. The IHpA envoy-reported that he felt a very good impfession had been made before the Bureau with tie'submitted ioint counterproposal.

The action by the Freight Traffic Manager's committee. was to disapprove the Standing Rate cominittee's recommendation under Application D--6408, and ,.refer it to the Standing Rate committee," . .u.....iul effort to date. rep- re:enting a lorrg-delayed and much needed proposal to sim- plrty rarl tarrft rates on this commodity.

In October 1958, the Standing Rale committee of the Trans-Continental Freight BureJu on its .*" eppfi."tio" D-6408 proposed certain changes and increas..'i; i;;;"_ continental rail freight rates on- imported plywood, stating that. the. purpose_-was to clarify the appiiJation oi ;;i;: carried in Item 3775 series of Tarifi 2_X. However, this proposal, had it been accepted by the Transcontinental Freight^Bureau,.and later approv"a Uy the Intersta; C;;_ merce Commission, would h-a.ne incr6ased the rait f.eisht costs on a substantial portion of imported plywood fr6m Pacific.Coast p.orts to tians-continental pointi-"As ih. b;ik ol hardwood plywood shipments from t6e Orient presently

IHPA, in conjunction with the Northern California Ports & Terminals Bureau, and the Associated Traffic Services in Los Angeles, protested the proposals of the StandingT.ates committee at subsequent meetings of the Freight Traffic Managers Committee in December 1958 and again in March 1959. It was successful in these two meetings in getting this proposal deferred to allow time for studv.

On Afril 29, the IHPA Rail and Water Traffic committee with Richard Bentley and Al Hipshman arranged a meeting which included : ons or more representatives 6f each of thE nine trans-continental railroads: C. E. Tacobson of Associ- at:d Traffic Services, Los Angeles, r6presenting FiddesMoore and Plywall, Inc.; divisions of Evans Products Co.; and Jam^es Morrison and James McJunkin, general manager and traffic manager, respectively, of the Northern Califoriria Ports & Terminals Bureau, Inc., San Francisco.

Aq this meeting, the existing transcontinental rail freight tariffs on imported plywood -were' reviewed-and furtEer discussed were the effects which would result if Application D-6408 were to be adopted. It was pointed ouf ihat the existing rail traffic rates are a hodge-pbdge-with some imported plywood being moved undei domeitic rate schedules, some under imported rate schedules, and some under lumber rate schedules. It was discussed, and agreed, that a simplification of commodity descriptions with i reflection in the plywood commodity descriptions of present and prospective movement was highly desirable.

The discussions" pbinted out that the proposed D-6408 would pr-o-bably^ divert a considerable poriion of this ply- wood traffic to Gulf and Eastern ports, with not only a consequent loss to the transcontinental railroads involved but with the strong possibility that the Gulf and Eastern railroads would at a later date use the increased rates proposed as a lever to increase their own rates.

An estimated 1500 residents of the Lake Tahoe area jammed the Nevada Lumber Company recently to inspect new and remodeled facilities of the store which boasts it has "everything to build with.'

On hand to greet their many friends were the Tahoe Valley firm, R. M. Cross, Harold F. K. (Speck) Rahbeck.

The remodeling, the store's fourth in 11 years, was in keeping with the growth and development of the Lake Tahoe area, and the enlarged facilities now offer lines of goods not previously handled by the firm, including housewares and various appliances.

Prizes valued at $450 were awarded during the afternoon and appreciation for the fine turnout was expressed by Dealer Dayton, speaking for Cross and Rahbeck.

"We certainly were pleased to see so many of our friends and, of course, we are extremely happy that our new and enlarged store is in a position to play an important part in the future of the fast-growing Lake Tahoe area." he said.

Both Dayton and Rahbeck believe that Lake Tahoe's

spectacular growth. will continue, and in completing their most recent remodeling program have done 1o with the idea in mind of better serving their customers in the resort area.

"We want to be able to give the people of the Lake Tahoe regloq the same, oi better,-service than they could- get if they went to the big cities to do their shop- ping," is the way Dayton put it.

. Since_ they first started in business 11 years ago, the dealers have constantly added to their list of producti available.. And reflecting their steady growth, too, has been the number of people working ior ihi lumber company.

Golifornio Bonk Officiql Speoks Ar Wholesole Lumbermen's Meeting

Recent trends in the money market were appraised by William H. Patterson, assistant cashier of the-California Bank, at the monthly meeting of the Wholesale Lumbermen's Association of Southern California in the Garden room of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Patterson outlined the procedure for the loaning of bank money. He also made some educated guesses as to what the future holds.

He said that 50/o of the money eventually gets into real estate and commercial loans. The 50's, according to Patterson, has been the era of "no down payment," due largely to the national defense program. This has added, to no small degree, to the tremendous upsurge in home construction, particularly in Southern California.

As to the future of construction in Southern California, Patterson contends that it will continue on the upswing. "There rnight be some basic changes from an abundan& of single-unit dwellings to multiple units, apartments and even large scale 'Own Your Owns' located more conveniently to metropolitan areas," he stated, "but the trend is very definitely on the way up."

A report was made from the Grades and Standards comm-ittee indicating that many of the inadequacies in the use of grades of lumber have been eliminated. More activity in this area has been assured by the group. Wholesaler representation on the Grades committee has proven invaluhble to this Association, it was said.

The Rest of the Rood

By Don Blanding

If the rest of the road is half as good

As the half that went before, I'll swing along with a singing heart, And pray to the Lord for more.

I ease my bones at the half-way house

And turn my remembering gaze

once upon ".,i[:t;;",ff::[]",*," cared a, the jungle animals together for a conference, and when they were all assembled, he raised himself on his haunches, and said: "Fellow animals, you have been summoned here today to protest against the existing order of things. Everything is 1 u/rong." (Loud growls and grunts.) "Animals from other territories have been coming into our jungle, thereby making it twice as hard for us to make a living, and now the question is, what are we going to do about it?"

Before anybody else had a chance to say a word, the snail popped up and said: "I move, Mr. Lion, that we all lay off our regular line of work, and spend our time in meetings and conventions, talking things over and passing resolutions until conditions change."

"Well," said the beaver, "I can't see that that will get us anywhere; how are we going to live in the meantime?,'

At this point, the elephant spoke up and said, ,.I trotice that the bees are not in on this; let's get them here and make it unanimous."

Said the lion, "f gave them an invitation this morning, but they said that while they wished us well, they were so busy looking after their own business, gathering honey in their regular territory, and scouting around for new sources of supply that they really did not have time to attend meetings, make speeches, or listen to them."

So they all adjourned and went home, for the remarks of the bees gave them something to think about.-Anon.

The big Marine stepped up to the counter at the U.S.O., and said to the pretty girl who stood there smiling at him: "Forty-eight hamburgers, please, with onions."

Her eyes protruded, her mouth gaped, she showed wonderment.

"Take it easy, honey," said the big Marine, "I'm not going to eat them all myself ; I've got two buddies waiting outside to help me."

From the twisting paths that my feet have sought

To the new, untrodden ways.

How long? How far? How hard? How fine?

How heavy or light the load;

If it's half as good as the half I've knownFfere's hail to the rest of the road.

Tqble d'Hole

One of the crew of an ocean liner happened to find a first-cabin menu card and, seeing at the top the words, "Table d'Hote," he turned to his pal and asked what in the something or other those words meant. So his pal exclaimed in this fashion:

"It's like this. Them swells in the salon have some soup, a bit of fish, a bit of meat, and a bit of other things, and they call it 'table dottie.' We-uns have ,table dottie,' too, only difference is, we mixes it all together and calls it stew."

Did You Know?

That all the ships in the world could be put into San Francisco Bay? That Texas is more than 200 times as big as Rhode Island? That nearly every large city in the United States has a lot of smaller places named after them? That there are 12 Bostons, 1l Hollywood,s, ZZ Clevelands, 14 Brooklyns, 12 Atlantas, 22 Buffalos, 25 Springfields, 19 Columbuses, and 18 Albanys?

'Reody ltqid Kitchens' Seen As Red-Hot, New Deoler ltem

Ganerol Soles Monoger RAY WllG (righr)

E. P. "Pat" Ivory, president of Ready Maid Kitchens, Inc., Santa Ana, announces the appointment of Ray Wiig to the important post of vice-president and general manager of the woodworking concern. Ready Maid recently purchased the assets of Brandon Manufacturing Corp., and will continue to produce high-quality, high-utility modern kitchens.

"We manufacture a complete line of pre-finished, hardwood kitchen cabinets, in modular sizes, to fit any area and decor," said President Ivory.

Pat Ivory has been prominent in west coast lumber production and sales for more than three decades. In his other woodworking activities he pioneered automation and salvage of all waste for remanufacturing purposes. He intends to gear the Santa Ana plant to a fully automatic facility under direction of Ray Wiig, it was said.

"We are presently producing more than 30 complete kitchens daily," said Manager Wiig, "and we are able to make shipments of all cabinets for kitchen, bath and utility for other rooms from stock," he continued. All are pre-finished and lacquered for permanent use and come in sizes to fit any wall space.

Ray Wiig has been identified in Southern California lumber circles since the close of WWII. He formerly handled administration and sales for Imperial Lumber Company and Southern California Lumber Sales. He is active in civic and social affairs and a member of Hoo-Hoo Club 2. Under his management, Ready Maid Kitchens will cover distribution of its products throughout the l1 western states.

As all Ready Maid cabinets are of hollow core construction, Dan Hartwell, well-known Southern California production superintendent and a pioneer in this type of manufacture, has joined Ready Maid Kitchens as plant manager. Hartwell has been identified in the Southland woodworking industry for more than 15 years. He brings a world of experience to the new firm.

David Elson, who has been associated with Mr. Ivory for the past several years, has been elected treasurer of the concern and will be active in administration and purchasing, Wiig said. Elson also gained his vast experience at the mill level.

Distributorships are still open in several areas of California and the 1l western states, Wiig declared.

"We will sell our products through legitimate channels only and we will protect our dealers in every territory, as we intend to expand our sales activity and production to meet every demand," he said.

Ready Maid Kitchens employs more than 50 skilled craftsmen in its Santa Ana plant and the automation expansion program calls for double production and employes during the fall and winter months, according to \Ariig.'

"Our team of young, aggressive executives are in a posi- tion to render a real service to distributors and dealers everywhere," said Mr. Ivory.

Georgio-Pocific Corporotion Announces New Trodemqrk

Portland, Ore.-Georgia-Pacific Corporation announces a change in its trademark from the familiar log-end and crowns with stencil lettering to a modified triangle bearing the letters "G-P" and modern lettering. Said President Robert B. Pamplin, "We have adopted our new insignia follow- ing exhaustive research by one of the nation's foremost industrial design groups. It is basically a form symbolic of the timber which is so much a part of Georgia-Pacific and at the same time an image which will be timeless and will register in people's memories."

The corporation's 24 plants and 57 sales offices and distribution warehouses and administrative offices were informed that "effective from July 23, 1959" the new symbol had become official. The G-P log-end and crowns weie first used in 1948 and have since become more and more familiar with the growth of the timber products company.

The new symbol will be used on all packaging, plants and warehouses, stationery, displays, films and wherever trademarks are normally used. Research was done by Mitchell-Hopper Associates, San Francisco.

Sales, profits and cash flow for 1958 all recorded new highs, Georgia-Pacific Corporation reported March 10 to stockholders. Net sales for 1958 amounted to $152,443,000,

compared with the previous year's $147,649,000. Net profits, after'taxes, were $10;072,377, an 18% increase over the $8,531,727 achieved in 1957.

Owen R. Cheatham, chairman of the board of Georgia- Pacific, and Robert B. Pamplin, president, attributed the new -highs in sales, earnings, and cash florv to Georgia- Pacific programs during 1958 designed to improve opera- tions and to utilize more completely the timber harvested from the corporation's large holdings, located principally in Oregon and California, in the face of the businesi recession that prevailed during the first six montl-rs.

- Qgorgia-Pacific research, plant integration, and marketing facilities are all being extended to insure maximum return from the corporation-s natural resources. Nearing completion are two new plywood plants which will have an annual capacity exceeding 175 million square feet of plywood. The c_ompany's Northern California timber holdings, r,vhile pre- dominantly Redwood, include a substantial amount of Douglas Fir which has not been processed in company mills. One of the new plants at Samoa, California, will enable the company _to utilize this species. The other plant is being completed at Coos Bay, Oregon, and will bring production facilities more nearly in balance with the cohoanv's extensive timber owneiship in that area.

The Georgia-Pacific paper and containerboard mill at Toledo, Oregon, which operates on wood chips formerly burned as wastg at year-end had been increaied in daily capacity from 250 tons to 350 tons. Water, raw materiai, and powei are available to triple the capacity of this plant wheu market conditions justify further expansion.

During 1958, the corporation enlarged its research laboratories and facilities ar.rd added skilled scientific oersonnel to the research staff. Georgia-Pacific research oblectives are to achieve maximum ulilization from each iree harvested, to develop new and advanced products that will stimulate customer interest and purchaqe, and to improve the growth and yield from the company's timberlands through scientific study and application of modern forestry techniaues.

Among significant new products put on the market in 1958 were GPX Plastic-Faced Bevel Siding, an exclusive "Family-Proof" factory finished hardwood plywood panelir-rg; printed grain plywoods, a new line of textured and specially surfaced hardboards, and factory sealed Redwood siding.

New products about to be introduced include "Fam- ily-Proof" plywood Oak flooring, factory-finished

Ripplewood paneling, and a new and different exterior Redwood stain.

It was reported also that Georgia-Pacific's research laboratories are making advances in their development work and experiments in connection with patented processes in producing chemicals from wood wastes. Timber, like coal and petroleum. contains hydrocarbons which are the basic elemlnts of a world of new products.

Georgia-Pacific Corp. owns one of the largest private reserves of old-growth timber in the United States. The report pointed out that these vast timber reserves continue to be harvested on a long-term schedule and the company's entire forestry program is based on a plan to insure an annual growth of its timber at least equal to the volume harvested.

"The long-term outlook is good," the executives state. "The over-all demand for our products, as well as the demand for new housing, is expected to be large for years to

Organized as a trial balloon to test the pattern of future Building Research Institute multi-subject conferences, the 8th annual meeting of the Institute at Pittsburgh's PennSheraton hotel on April 7 and 8 was the first BRI meeting to hit a total registration of more than 675. BRI offrcers are enthusiastic over the turnout, which was composed of a real cross-section of the building industry, including architects, contractors, engineers, building owners, building products manufacturers and distributors, appraisers, government building officials, financiers, and building research specialists from colleges and universities, as well as private consultants.

Robert W. Dowling, who had just been appointed chairman of the Advisory Committee for a National Cultural Center in Washington by President Eisenhower, and who is

president of City Investing Company of New York and an international expert on building finance and urban planning, directed his remarks toward stimulating an increased awareness in the building industry of the need to keep our country beautiful. He cited the new development of Sterling Forest, 30 miles from New York, as an example. This community, he said, will have no building higher than the trees no building visible from any angle except the air, until you approach it immediately.

Permqnenle to Build lorge Gement Plont in Hqwoii

Permanente Cement Company will build a cement manufacturing plant in Hawaii, it was announced in Honolulu by Henry J. Kaiser, chairman of the board and president. The island of Oahu's Waianae area will be the site.

The new industry will raise Permanente's investment in facilities in Hawaii and other islancls of the Pacific to $20,000,000. The plant will have an initial annual capacity of 1,700,000 barrels, equal to 6,800,000 sacks of cement a year. Delivery of equipment-on order earlier-is scheduletl within five months. The target is to begin cement production as early as August 196O.

Permanente simultaneously is now expanding its Honolulu cement distribution plant by 43/o, raising storage capacity at Iwilei Pier 32 from 80,000 barrels to 125,000. Truck load-out facilities also are being expanded.

A lime-laden area of 2OB acres on Oahu's fast-burgeoning industrial site is being acquired by Permanente. Out of the property will be developed a ZS-acre manufacturing site and a huge deposit of coral. Modern earth-moving equipment will scoop out big tonnages of calcium carborrate rock in the form of coral, which is chemically tl-re ecpivalent of limestone-the basic raw material of cement.

Finished cement will be hauled 28 miles from Waianae into Honolulu points-some 75/o of it being clelivered di-

Twelve full-color illustrations showing home modernization projects that can be built from Masonite Corporation plans will appear in the company's 1960 do-it-yourself calendars made for the use of lumber dealers. The dealer's imprint appears immediately under the illustration. On the back appears information about the project and the suggestion that the consumer ask the dealer for a free plan showing how to construct it.

Dealers may order packs of playing cards with the calendars. The cards would be used as gifts to customers who come in to inquire about remodeling, or in other ways. The card backs have a finish with the appearance of Misty Walnut, one of the popular remodeling hardboards sold by the company. Also available are special Christmas envelopes in which dealers may mail out the calendars.

rectly to customers and job sites, thus stepping up service. Mr. Kaiser disclosed that the new Hawaii plant's starting capacity will exceed the present demand for cement in the Island's markets.

Hawaii's Expanding Role

'An element in the decision to build higher capacity at the outset was recognition of Hawaii's increasing role as crossroads of the far-flung, populous Pacific area.

Permanente recently built a cement distribution plant on Guam, to which it ships cement. Now Guam will becon-re a direct market for Hawaii-produced cement when the uew plant is completed. Plans are to open up adclitional Pacific markets for Hawaii.

Yet, the foremost factor in starting sizeably, Mr. I(aiser explained, is the fact that the tremendous growth of Hawaii, already well underway, will greatly accelerate with the coming of statehood and the jet age, the soarirrg of tl.re vacation industry, the anticipation of new industries and businesses, the increase of permanent population, homes and jobs and the enormous growth of construction.

It is customary for the construction industry to experience periods of peak demand for cement when many big projects are going simultaneously. Mr. Kaiser saicl that when extraordinary peaks take place, Permanente will be able to utilize its fleet of bulk vessels and clraw upon its backlog of West Coast plants, having nearly 13 million barrels of cement capacity, to transport cement here or to other critical shortase areas.

The Honolulu disiribrrtion plant will continue to be suppliecl by company facilities from the Permanente plant near San Jose, California, until production is underway in tl-re Waianae area.

Los Angeles Gounty Sets New Record in Building

Construction permits issued in Los Angeles County in July set a new record, but the city of Los Angeles reported a $31 million decrease from the same 1958 month. County Engineer John Lambie said the 3,026 July permits valued at $35,936,979 brought the year's total to $219,7@,339 f.or

the first seven months, compared to $185,109,913 in the same county span last year.

The Lomita, Calif., office led all county area offices in volume during July, with tract housing amountini to $10,399,000 on 835 new dwellings.

City Building Supt. Gilbert E. Morris reported 5,803 July permits at $48,725,250 valuation. He attributed the decline from July 1958 to the current steel strike. The city's first seven months this year show 38,910 permits at $388,769,175 -still ahead of the 35,835 at $384,636,239 in 1958's same span.

In the San Fernando Valley, permits are running more than $60 million ahead of 1958. Morris disclosed. In July alone, the Valley's permits were nearly $g mitlion over last year.

Other sectional gains show the San Pedro area nearly $1.5 million ahead-of 1958, but the Venice at"r *u, ofr nearlv $1 million from 1958.

Two New Poromount Pole-type Worehouses ond Roller Truck Lotest Additions to Progress of Reel Lumber Service in L.A.

'iAll of our inventory is now stored under cover with the completion of our new Paramount Pole Construction warehouse," reports E. G. Reel, founder of Reel Lumber Service, Los Angeles wholesale lumber distributor. The firm now has five warehouses at its plant situated in the southeast industrial area of greater Los Angeles at 1249 East 63rd Street, which is just minutes from Slauson avenue and all of the freeways for delivery to all Southland communities and cities.

. It was almost three decades ago, in 1932, when "E.G.," as he is affectionately known to employes and family alike, established his first wholesale venture on West 58th street. In less than three years, early in 1935, the business increased beyond capacity and it became necessary to move to the present location, which allowed for continued growth; land was purchased and the first Reel warehouse was built.

Since that time, more than a quarter of a century, additional land has been procured anil warehouse facilities constructed to house under cover more than a million and a half feet of prime imported and domestic hardwoods, upper grades nf ponderosa and sugar pine and specialty items.

Since its inception, Reel Lumber Service has made steady progress in volume of sales by keeping a keen eye on the growth of Southern California and developing procurement sources with the most reliable producers of lumber throughout the world. It is necessary to keep a well-balanced inventory at all times.

1955 ivas a "banner" year for "E.G." when his sons Don and Gil became partners in the firm. Both young men had been born and raised in the lumber business. Each has a university education in business administration and both

Gil is office manager, assisted in production by Rex Perrine, yard superintendent, who handles all incoming and outgoing shipments. These two young men maintain customer contact, inventory storage and delivery. Don Reel is manager of outside sales and l-re is assisted by Mark Reel and Otto Druge, two well-known Southern California lumbermen.

In addition to tl-re two new Paramount Pole warehouses recently completed, this progressive wholesale concern has secured a new White roller truck to facilitate prompt shipments to retail lumber dealers, woodworking manufacturers

Under date of August 19, the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. mailed questionaires to all its members in order that its Lumber Grades committee might learn what g'rades of lumber the SCRLA members would want the eommittee to recommend for use as "Roof-sheathing" and "Studs," in keeping with the SCRLA's policy of seeking the cooperation of all Building Departments thro-ughogt Southern California in establishing a program of grade uniformity for use of lumber in the area.

SCRLA Executive Vice-President Orrie W. Hamilton asked that replies be in by August 25 so the Committee could present the industry's views to the various Building Departments officials and also at a meeting_ with Jumler manufacturers to be held in Los Angeles, September 10.

Questions were to be submitted to Erik Flamer in Long Beach (HEmlock 9-6783) or Mr. Hamilton in Los Angeles (MAdison 3-6108).

Until December 31, all of the Building Departments in Southern California, with the exceptions of Fullerton and Long Beach, will continue to permit the use of sheathing resawn from Dimension with every second piece gradestamped. llowever, because of alleged abuses, the SCRLA believes that this privilege will not be extended and that on and after January l, 19ffi, each piece of lumber used in construction must bear a grade stamp of an authorized lumber-grading agency.

New Bulk Gemenf Fqciliries

New bulk cement facilities have been placed in operation at the Calaveras Cement Company plant at San Andreas, Calif. The new system, in conjunction with existing loading facilities, will permit the simultaneous loading of three bulk cement trucks, two sack cement trucks and a railroad car.

Two steel bulk loading tanks, 25 leet in diameter and each with a capacity of 2700 barrels, are mounted above a 10 foot x 6O foot-long Fairbanks-Morse truck scale so that cement can be rapidly discharged by gravity to a bulk truck waiting on the scale. Cement is pumped from storage silos 350 feet away into the bulk loading bins by a lO-inch FullerKinyon cement pump which keeps the bins constantly replenished.

Design work for the new project was directed by J. C. Powell, Calaveras plant engineer. The tanks were designed, fabricated and erected by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company.

Ruts

One of the important lessons in life is to learn to keep out of ruts. Everyone is bound to strike them at times. They should be gotten out of immediately. For to stay in a rut is to stand still and stagnate, while others pass you and forget you.

Keep your eyes open and your mind awake. Watch for the imitation rut-the rut that takes you away from your own work and your own ideas and makes a duplicate out of you instead of an original. Creators stand in a class by themselves. Pay tribute to the head oir your own shoulders. Get the habit of initiative.

Keep your eyes open and your mind awake. Think ! Gather new ideas. Welcome them! Read! Profit from the minds of past ages. Vary your work as much as possible. The brain acts the most spry when it's most interested. Love your work. And be kind to your human machine. Give it rest. Occasionally, slip away into new surroundings, see new faces, meet new scenes.

Lock arms with the smilers. Pass by the frowners.

l.C.C. Concels Free Time On Lumber Shipments

The Interstate Commerce Commission, Division 2, by a report and order in I. and S., Docket No. 7050 (Lumber free-time allowance at hold points) has ordered canceled the schedules of certain Western district railroads which provide 15 days of holding time free of demurrage charges forcars of lumber in transit stopped at certain points in 'Western Trunk Line Territory, and also providing one free diversion. The present free time is 24 hours; after this time, demurrage charges are applied.

The proposed schedules of 15 days' free time would save the in-transit dealers a maximum of $96 demurrage ($4 per day for the first four days after free time, and $8 per day thereafter), it was reported by Executive Vice-President Orrie W. Hamilton of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. in his August 21 bulletin to the SCRLA members.

The Division ordered the respondent railroads to cancel

the schedules on or before September 8. The division said that the protestants, and the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn., the Forest Products division of the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp., the Commission's Bureau of Inquiry and Compliance, and 14 firm-order lumber companies located in Mountain Pacific territory, presented evidence in opposition to the proposed schedules.

Several "in-transit" lumber dealers (jobbers or brokers who ship lumber before they have a buyer) appeared in support of the respondents. The respondent railroads argued that the 15 days' free time is necessary to meet competition of the Canadian railroads.

The Division concluded that "the proposed schedules would encourage undue detention of cars at a time when there is a shortage of cars on the railroads generally; would provide for service beyond the primafy duties of railroads under linehaul rates; would open the door to like demands from shippers of other commodities similarly circumstanced; and would contravene the national transportation policy to promote adequate, economical and efficient service and foster sound economic conditions."

New Roof Truss, €onneclors Avqiloble fo Lu-R.e-Co Deqlers

The H & T Metal Brace Comapny, Box l1l, Berwick, Pennsylvania, a subsidiary of the United Truss Roof Company of Miami, Florida, has recently become a member of the Lumber Dealers Researcl-r Council and is offering to these dealers a new method of building trusses. In essence,

prepunched metal gussets are offered as the connecting device ald they vary according to the size and pitch of the truss being constructed. There are many things to say concerning the advantages of this type of truss.

(l) All trusses are engineered, tested, and FHA has issuecl Engineering Bulletin No. 232, dated August 20, 1958. Cop^ies_will be furnished by H & T upon request.

.

(2) Personal contact with customels keeps them up to clate and H & T will handle any special r6quest. Foi instance, designs are available up to ffi for schobls, churches, motels, and farm and industrial buildings.

(3) I{auling space is a minimum since total thickness of tlre trtss is 7Vl".

(4)'Trusses-ire ready for use immediately upoll completion of the fabrication. No heat necessary, ho curing pe- riocl and no press required.

(5) Minimum construction costs are maintained as each truss is designed for the span, the pitch and the requirecl load. Proper sizing of plates and the exact number of nails required is specified in each case.

(6) A s-imple jig is all that is necessary after tl.re pre- cutting of tl-re members has been done. -This is almost nraudatory .in any case to get the work up to a desired height to lessen fatigue and increase efficiency of the workmen.

__

(7) When these trusses are constructed according to the lingine_ering Bulletin, they conf.orm to the Lu-Re-Co cluality shield program, and the shield may be used to so identify ilrenl.

"To give,an idea of cost for comparative purposes, I recluested and received from the H & T Compiny these costs based on building 100 24, 5/12 trusses: 200 B- plates, $24: qry F.!_la!e9, $80;400 G Plates,916; 100 Ja Splice Plates, [t8;_100 J1l Splice Plates,913;3 kegs nails ig EtZ, ESt. Total-$202.

Weyerhoeuser Streomlines Nome qnd Operotions in New Merchandising

Tacoma, Wash.-The word "timber" will be dropped from the name of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company on September l, announced Pres. F. K. Weyerhaeuser. At the same time, Weyerhaeuser Company will adopt a new symbol for the products it manufactures at plants in 26 states. It is an abstract tree within a 'triangle.

"When the company lvas formed 60 years ago," Mr. Weyerhaeuser explained, "it was exclusively in the business of managing timberland. Timber is still our basic resource, but its use in the company title does not indicate adeqr.rately the rvide range of products we now manufacture. The original name doesn't take into consideration tl-re new products to come as a result of our research and development activities," he said.

The name change was approved by shareholders at their

annual meeting last May. It will apply only to the parent company and Weyerhaeuse.q Sales Co. Other subsidiary companies will retain their names, but adopt all other phases of the new identification system.

On October 1, Weyerhaeuser Sales Co. operations 'ivill become a part of the- lumber and plywood division. The move is designed to "effect maximum coordination among manufacturing, distribution, sales and customer service activities," it was stated. Existing company brand names, such as 4-Square lumber, Quad-lok containers and Weytex hardboard, will be retained but will be supplemented with the new symbol.

Mileoge to Lumber Solesmen Reqches All-Time High

Chicago-The cost of keeping a lumber salesman on the road in an automobile has reached an all-time high. Mileage payments to lumber-industry salesmen driving their own cars on company business reached a national average ol 9.16 cents per mile this year, topping the 9-cent mark for the first time. National average for all industries is 8.91 cents, also a record high.

This represents a jump from a year ago, when th€ national average was 8.22 cents per mile. It is an increase of I5/o over 1957, when the national average was 7.72 cents per mile.

This was disclosed by A. J. Schoen, president of Wheels, Inc., Chicago, one of the nation's largest auto fleet-leasing firms. For the first time, more companies paid 9 cents per mile than any other rate-36/o. Next most popular rate was 8 cents per mile, paid by 23/. of the companies studied. Sixteen percent paid more than 9 cents per mile, while the lowest reported rate was 6.5 cents per mile, paid only by two companies.

According to Schoen, this year's jump in mileage payments to salesmen is a reflection both of increased costs and the nation's economic recovery. Mileage payments, which tended to hold steady during the recession of 1957-58, are now overcoming tl-reir temporary lag, as companies strive to hold the salesmen they have and add to their sales forces.

according to Keep California Green. They estimate that the outlook this year is even more grim than in 1958, when more man-caused fires were started than any year in history ! In California, 78/o ol the forest fires ire started by people, Hubbard said.

Keep California Green is a citizen and industry-sponsored organization to publicize fire prevention and carry on education programs. Headquarters are at 1903 Capitol Avenue, Sacramento,

Residentiol Consfrucfion Up 32o/o

New construction activity expanded seasonally in June and brought the total value of work put in place to nerv highs of $5.0 billion for the month, and $24.9 billion for the January-June period, according to preliminary estimates prepared jointly by the U.S. Departments of Labor and Commerce. The totals for both Tune and the first six months were up l5/o from a year-ago. Spending for new construction thus far in 1959 was at a seasonallv adiusted anlua,l 11te o! $55.1 billion, compared with actuai outlay of $49.1 billion for the entire year 1958.

Private outlays for new construction in the January-June 1959 period reached a record $17.5 billion,, mainly because of the 32/o expansion in residential building (to $10.8 billion) over the first half of 1958. However, this year's Mavto-June increase in residential construction wis less thin seasonal.

Responsibility for the collection and compilation of all statistics on housing and construction activity is being shifted to the Bureau of the Census of the U.S. Department of Commerce on July 1, 1959. The present report is the final one in this series to be issued iointlv bv the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Depirtment 6f Labor and the Business and Defense Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Socromento Hoo-Hoo to Sponsor 'Forest Products Doy' of Foir

Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109, pressing its drive for a "National Forest Froducts \Areek," has succeeded in having September 9 set aside as Forest Products l)ay at the coming California State Fair and Exposition in Sacramento, September 2 through 13.

The Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club will sponsor the "Day" by inviting all Hoo-Hoo in the state to take part and visit the fair on Forest Products Day, September 9. The club has also arranged for a no-host luncheon at the Picnic Grounds, located at the southeast corner of the fairgrounds.

N. S. Perkins Tokes on , New DFPA Assignment

Nelson S. Perkins, for more than 20 years technical director of Douglas Fir Plywood Association, took on a new assignment for DFPA in April. He will work in specialized areas of association activity. These include mill liaison and technical promotion.

W. E. Difford, association managing director, at a meeting of members in Portland, Oregon, in March, said "We are making this shift now to capitalize on Perkins' wide background in engineering and technical research. The move will relieve him of administrative responsibility and free him for a number of important activities vital to this industry."

Among other things Perkins will work to strengthen liaison between member mills and DFPA, he will develop and improve DFPA's relations with code officials and other allied industries on the technical level and he will do technical editing and writrng

Perkins joined DFPA during a reorganization in 1936 when this rapidly growing industry's short pants were just beginning to chafe. As an engineer consultant with a wide background at that time in structure and wood technology, he got into the plywood business on the eve of an unprecedented era of expansion. One of his major contributions to the industry's know-how has been the collection and analysis of data showing the relationship between glueline performance under laboratory test and in the field that makes it now possible to predict with surprising accuracy the durability of exterior-type panels.

Similarly, l-re has been responsible for original research in a number of engineering and product investigations establishing the advantages of plywood in new constrnction techniques and industrial applications, and the joint industry-wide quality control program. Long a crusader for high cluality of product, Perkins' work in this area has beerr

a major factor in the widening acceptance of plywood in all kinds of applications.

Girls, Girls & Girls-fheme of 5.F. Hoo-Hoo Roundup-Sept. | 8

With a theme like that, it would appear that the San Francisco Hoo-lloo club's annual "Roundup" at The Village, corner of Columbus & Lombard, the evening of September 18, can hardly miss. General Chairman Ben Ward has advised the San Francisco Hoo-Hoo club's many faithful members to forget their cancelled orders and distressed loads for an afternoon and evening and bring a friend or friends to Club 9's big event of the year.

A big golf tournament at the San Francisco Golf Club will precede the affair. The tournament will be run off in conjunction with the monthly tournament of Dubs, Ltd., with Dubs President Paul Gaboury directing the action in this department.

Doors of The Village will be opened at 5:59 p.m. or thereabouts, which will signal the o-eginning of the eveniirg's action. Cocktails will be served in the club's spacious downstairs lounge complete with music by an all-gal trio. The all-girl theme will be continued upstairs following dinner, when the big Roundup show moves into high gear and the popular mistress of ceremonies, Lee Arnoux, swings (and then some) into action. All in all, Chairman Ward notes, it'll be an evening to remember, so be sure to reserve Friday, September 18, for your night out with tl-re guys (and gals).

Besides Chairman Ward and Golf Charrman the complete cast of committeemen involved in tacular includes Dick Hogan and Gay Bradt, Harry Hood, finance; Max Cook, entertainment; lar, publicity; Charlie White and Fred Buckley, and Bill Iohnson. tickets.

June Nonform Housing Storts Up 2Oo/o Over June 1958

Nonfarm housing starts rose to 136,000 in June, from 134,000 in May, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of the Census. A moderate seasonal decrease usually occurs between May and June. The June 1959 starts total for privately and publicly owned units was 20/o greater than a year ago, and the highest recorded for June except in 1950.

The 131,200 privately owned dwelling units begun represented a seasonally adjusted'annual rate of 1,370,00G-up a little from the estimated rate of 1,340,000 for May, but somewhat below the seasonally adjusted rate of 1,390,000 for April. When averaged for the first six months, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of private starts in 1959 amounted to 1,378,000 units, compared with the relatively low rate of 989,000 for the same 1958 period.

Cqliforniq Goes'Boqf-hsppy'

California has gone boat happy. Manufacturing, servicing, and sales of small craft are a new and major industry along the Pacific slope. The California "down to the sea in ships" movement follows a national pattern.

Boats are superseding swimming pools and cars as status symbols, the motivation researchers say. Economists suggest that boating is a natural development of proximity to water mobility and increased family leisure time.

Whatever the reason, boats are selling at an amazing rate. Los Angeles county reports more boats were sold since Jan. 1, 1959, than automobiles. (Dollar value of cars was higher, but more boat units went into the hands of amateur skippers.)

Boat factories are "bustin' out at the seams." Such formerly small operations as Bristol Boats, Inc. and Power Cat have been catapulted into national prominence by victories in power regattas, and are rushing national distribution and dealer expansion programs.

Marinas catering to the suddenly nautical population have become big business. Texas oil money, among other venture capital in coarse sizes, is moving to finance these waterside boating centers.

Capacity of existing marinas is already overtaxed, and projected marinas already have waiting lists for mooring space, says Pacific Coast News Features.

With "Wood Promotion" as the theme of the coming Duluth convention, Hoo-Hoo joins forces with the National Wood Promotion Program, a long awaited and often delayed promotion which has become a definite reality anrl growing force in all corners of the nation.

Chairman Jack Berry,l5O7 21st St., Sacramento, has set the following Committeemen:

Georgio-Pocific Moves lnto New Sqn Jose Quqrfers

Construction of Georgia-Pacific's new warehouse and plant at 660 East Gish Road in San Jose was completed last month, six months after ground-breaking ceremonies. The big warehouse installation, headed by G-P veteran Norm Rose, had been operating from temporary quarters in Santa Clara following a disastrous fire late last year which destroyed G-P's old San Jose warehouse. The new Gish Road warehouse provides better than 35,000 sq. ft. of undercover area and is located on a company-owned S-acre plot of industrial property. The phone number (CYpress 7-7800) will remain the same.

New $ales ldeas...

It's a good idea for lumber dealers to do some selling of mine-run products which many customers buy anyway. They'Il be surprised at the results of a bit of promotion, for example, of a product like hardboard underlayment.

Whenever the dealer has a remodeling sale involving a bathroom, kitchen or attic, most likely the floor covering will be linoleum, asphalt or vinyl tiles. IJnfortunately, some customers will lay such a floor directly over the old one, with disappointing results.

Earl W. Hadland, general merchandise manager for Masonite Corporation, comments: "Cover all bases on a remodeling job. This will mean more business for you and a better-satisfied customer. Without underlayment, uneven boards will 'mirror' right through the floor covering, and when that happens the appearance is marred and eventually the boards will wear right through to the surface."

The best insurance against such trou,ble, Hadland says, is for the dealer to point out the advantages of usirig a stock item, hardboard underlayment.

Ideally suited for the purpose, it comes with an even caliper -.215 inches-and in handy 4'x4' or 4'x3' sizes that the cus-

tomer of a carpenter can put down readily to assure a longlasting flooring job.

Hadland concludes : "Thorough selling of this sort also can increase the total remodeling package and dealer profits,"

Now available from Simonds Worden White is Vol. 2, No. I of the two-page bulletin called "Cutting Trends." It is issued periodically as a reference sheet on grinding wheels and machine knives for metal-working, wood, paper and allied industries.

Horrington Succeeds Houston os Long-Bell Generql Sqlesmqnqger

Kansas City, Mo.-O. D. Harrington has been appointed general salesmanager of the Long-Bell Division, International Paper Co., by John D. Leland, vice-president. He succeeds the veteran employee, Earl H. Houston, who retired but will continue with the lumber company on a consulting basis.

Delmer Harrington joined Long-Bell 1n 1924 at the plan- ing mill in DeRidder, La., after graduation from high school. After six months, he was sent to the Kansas City sales office for training and represented the company in various sales offices over the country until 1957, when Mr. Houston brought him into Kansas City as his salesmanager in the home offrces. He will continue to keep the LongBell Division's general sales offices here, now that he l-ras succeeded Mr. Houston in the top sales spot, but lvi11 also maintain an offrce at Longview, Wash., and clivicle his time.

The retiring Earl Houston started with Long-Ilell Lumber Co. in 1913 at the Longville, La., mill and eutered sales trair.ring in Kansas City in 1915. He also served throughout the company's scattered sales districts before he was namerl general salesmanager in 1943. lle was elected a director of tlre company in 1947 and a vice-president in 1948.

Lumber, Plywood Prices Jump ln Rise of Building Cost

New York, July 7-Building costs have gone up as much in the first five months of this year as they did in all of 1958, the professional building magazine, Architectural Forum, said today. Instrumental in this rise is the increased price of lumber, ry 10.3/o cent since May 1958, and plywood, up rs.6%.

As measured by the E,. H. Boeckh indexes, which reflect conditions in lumber, plywood and steel (and include wage rates), apartment-office construction costs in May stood 4.I/o ahead of May of last year. Factory building construction was also 4.1/o ahead of last year. The over-all building materials index has advanced to 2.7% this year, Forum reported, well above the 2/o increase in all of 1958.

Lumber industry economists predict somewhat lower

prices during the rest of 1959, but look for record consumption-and attendant higher prices-during the first half of 1960, the magazine said.

Even as wood products taper off, other materials, particularly steel, will probably go up. Plumbing equipment prices have more than regained 1958 losses, and only glass and metal doors show price drops below 1958 levels.

Prices of structural steel have risen only 3.8/o since May 1958, but will be driven higher by inventory buying and an almost certain increase in worker wages, according to Forum.

In addition to all this, prices of construction machinery have been rising sharply late last year and the trend will probablv continue.

NEW KVAL MACHINE FOR

Kvalheim Machinery Company, Petaluma, Calif., has recently developed a width sizing machine, KVAL Model 550 SB, which has the refinements of belt sanders and easing attachments. This machine is generally used for sizing doors after they come from the press. The Model 550 SB can be combined with a KVAL Trim Saw to automatically size doors for width and length at the rate of 250 per hour.

The doors are f ed into the KVAL Model 550 SB. Cutter heads remove the bulk of the excess width and bring the doors down to size. While still going

SIZING DOORS

through the machine, the side edges are sanded smooth and then the sharp corners on the length of the doors are removed with newly designed easing units.

The easing units consist of a floating system of 45' router driven cutters. V guides are ahead and behind of the cutters so that the doors funnel into the mechanisms.
