How Lumber Lrooks

The big news in Pacific Coast lumber is the CIO longshoremen's strike which covers the entire Pacific Coast, and which started on September 2nd. Only two or three lumber carrying vesseles are now in service on the entire Coast, and everything is tied up tight at all the lumber docks. Harry Bridges and subordinates estimate that the strike will last a month or more. It is in progress as this issue of THE CLM goes to press. What the effects of the strike will be is not immediately apparent. It may be the means of developing a certain amount of car shortage.

One of the longest, bloodiest battles in the history of the Los Angeles docks took place at the Los Angeles harbor the first day of the sstrike between AFL and CIO union men when the former, members of the crew of the lumber ship Rolando, attempted to unload the vessel. The battle raged for hours, and many on both sides were injured in the melee. Finally the ship was withdrawn without being unloaded. Then on September Sth, under guard of 500 Los Angeles police equipped for riot service, the AFL men unloaded the lumber from the ship. This time there was no open opposition.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association report for the week ending August 28th, showed 162 mills reporting the following facts: Orders, 91,989,000 feet; Production, IO5,497,0W; Shipnients, 97,628,W; Unfilled Orders, 465,894,000.

Western Pine Association reports for week ending August 28th, for 106 mills: Orders 67,04O,M; Shipments, 7 2,483,0W ; Production 81,237,000.

Southern Pine Association reports for 106 mills for week ending August 28th: Orders, 19,043,000; Shipments, 18,I 94,000 ; Production, 17,263,W ; Unfi lled Orders, 69,496,W0.

California Redwood Association reported for the month of July for ten mills: Orders, 2D,812,0N; Shipments, 229,7 59,W ; Production, 256,813,000.

National Lumber Manufacturers Association reporting tor 406 mills for week ending August 28th : Shipm ents 9.5/o below production; Orders were 17.6/o below production; Unfilled Orders amount to 48 per cent of mill stocks. For the year-to-date period, shipments of reporting identical mills were 2.0/o above production and orders were l.S% above production.

Building permits in Los Angeles for the first eight months of 1948 totaled $81,231,545, which surpasses the totals of any previous entire year in the history of the city. Building permits for that same period totaled 45,800, also a record.

Plans for perfecting and perpetuating the commercial forests of this land have assumed a foremost place in the thinking of the lumber industry. Selective cuttipg is a phrase now highly respected by all our people. Sustained yield is not only a philosophy-it is becoming an obsession. Future forests are what all timber owners and lumber manufacturers now hope and strive for. This prevalent philosophy was a long time taking root; nevertheless it is here. * * :r

The other day the lumber manuficturers of the West met in conference, and discussed their problems. And the most enthusiastic announcement that came from that meeting was this: "Timber in the West is growing faster than we had ever dreamed possible." In the South that condition has prevailed and been understood for many years, since the rapid growth of Yellow Pine has become an accepted and provable fact.

Miracles of timber ,rJ*,ri, ,io, .*,.r, suspected a generation ago, although just as certainly a fact then, are reported from many previously forested regions. In Wisconsin, up in that colder region rvhere regrowth of timber was not dreamed of in the sawmill heyday, timber gro\ 'ing has become a major industry; already there are mills with a permanent tree supply. In Minnesota the Weyerhaeuser interests operate several huge timber using plants at Cloquet; and the miracle is that they plan to supply those indiustries permanently with fast growing wood, and never have to go more than fifty miles from town.

The above are just " "*ra.*U few samples of what has happened since we finally accepted the truth about commercial timber growing. fn Minnesota there are more people making their living off the timber industry and the various wood-using industries than there were fifty years ago when the state was humming with big sawmills cutting big virgin trees. No big mills remain; but the timber and timber using industry, grows.

r am going to tell in trrl" J.rri-" this time a brief story of the Coconino National Forest, to me the most interesting timber harvesting and forest perpetuating enter-

prise that has ever come to my attention. I had read about this grand forest and its manipulation in several periodicals, and so I called on the U. S. Forest Service folks located at Flagstaff, Coconino County, Arizona, and asked them for dope for a story. Roland Rotty is Forest Supervisor in that area, assisted by Paul W. Bedard. Mr. Bedard courteously gave me the facts I am about to relate, and checked the things I had previously learned, so that what I have to tell is entirely official. If you, dear reader, do not find it as interesting as I do, you may charge me for the time wasted.

Coconino County, Arizona, is one of the largest counties in the nation, covering approximately 12 million acres. Flagstaff is the county seat and commercial and business center of the county. Flagstaff has an altitude of 6,900 feet. Of the twelve million acres in the county, 3,389,667 acres are under Forest Service Administration. Coconino National Forest covers 1,750,445 acres. The rest of the National Forest coverage is on the Kaibab National Forest and parts of the Sitgreaves and Prescott National Forests that lie*within the county.

Under Forest Service management and supervision about 35 million feet of Ponderosa Pine is cut annually from the National Forests in the County other than the Coconino National Forest. This cutting is done selectively, the trees marked and sold, and the harvesting is done on a sustained yield basis. This entire production goes ,to various local sawmills, and the stumpage to be cut is sold by competitive bidding. Thus there will always be as much commercial Ponderosa Pine timber on these other forests in the County as there is today. Most of the mills cutting the timber from these other National Forests are small.

And now for the t."a" o*r, Jn" to"orrrrro National Forest. The total acreage is given above. There is more than four billion feet of commercial Ponderosa Pine timber standing on this acreage, and being managed and harvested on a perpetual cutting basis by the U. S. Forest Service. They have estimated that the sustained yield capacity of this forest is 61 million feet a year. This is being cut at the present time. In addition, another 9 million feet is being harvested annually, from what Mr. Bedard calls "a very light cut in virgin timber made 10 to 15 years ahead of the main harvest." The purpose of this cut is to utilize those trees in the old mature virgin forest which would otherwise die and be wasted before the main harvest reaches them.

(Continued from Page 6)

Thus, while they are cutting the 61 million feet annually of the main harvest, they have another separate operation going through the whole stand of timber and weeding out the over-ripe, the defective, and such other trees as are not healthy and growing. There are two reasons for doing this. The first, just stated, is to harvest this timber while it still has value. The second is to save water for the healthy trees. Those old and defective trees consume a large share of the sparse rainfall of the region, so by cutting them out they preserve the water supply for the better purpose of sustaining more valuable trees. This, to me, is most interesting. There is probably no other part of the Forest Service timber growing domain where the deliberate saving of the water supply is practically taken into consideration in the harvesting of the timber.

i<t(*

When the main forest has been gone over by this "mortality anticipation cutting" as they call it, this part of the Coconino Forest program will terminate. From that time on and stretching forward into perpetuity, this forest will contain about four billion feet of commercial Pine timber, while providing the average of 61 million feet for cutting each year. They figure that this forest will be cut in cycles of about twenty years. Where they are cutting today, they will be cutting again about twenty r/€?rs hence, and the great foresa

remain undiminished.

The regular cut of 61 million feet annually, is logged and manufactured by two big double-band sawmill plants

at Ffagstaff, and by about a dozen small mills. The large mills are operated by the Southwest Lumber Company and the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company, and they get about 47 of the 61 million sold annually by the Forest Service. The dozen small mills get the remainder. The 9 .million feet of old and defective timber that is being cut in the "mortality anticipation" program, is manufactured into lumber by several portable mills that follow the foresters'

"There will always be an England" they say, and barring some gigantic act of God, there will always be four billion feet of timber in the Coconino, providing the material for the homes of rnan for all time to come. At the present time the regular cut of 61 million feet from the Coconino, plus the 9 million special cutting of old timber, plus the regular harvest of 35 million feet from the other National Forests of Coconino County, gives that county a total production of 105 million feet a year from the National Forests, which will be reduced 9 million feet later on. But the remaining dependable sustained yield is a grand harvest indeed. * *

The U. S. Forest Service will some day be able to.quote the words of the late Henry Hardtner ?nd say-"the land You gave me forty years ago has more timber on it today than when I first got it, and I have been cutting off it ever since." Truly we are making great strides in perpetuating our forests, and the example of this particular forest in Arizona is something to look upon with pride, and to speak of with praise.

Hoo-Hoo Gonvention In Los Angeles Was Wonderlul

The 57th Annual Convention of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is now history. It was held in the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th of September, as planned. As planned is was a great gathering of the loyal stalwarts of the Order of the Black Cat. The total attendance was slightly more than 500, the official number being 519. From the standpoint of interest, of entertainment, and of business performed, it was a cha.mpionship afrair. From a standpoint of weather, it was marvelous, particularly to the delegates from the sweltering South and East. The highest temperature during the four days was 80, and the lowest. 57. The famous Los Angeles weather man did his best.

As usual, the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo and lumber folks generally, proved to be wonderful hosts. There was not a dull moment, and there was never a time when the local lumbermen and ladies were not on the job to see to the wants of their guests. The beautiful Biltmore, with its wealth of room for all purposes, made an ideal setting for the meeting.

The convention marked the termination of the twoyear term of Ray Saberson as Snark of the lJniverse, unquestionably the greatest and most progressive two years in the history of Hoo-Hoo. The little grey and bald man from St. Paul has made momentous hsitory. It took devotion, time, brains, and money to accomplish what he did. Hoo-Hoo will never forget him.

Most of those responsible for the success of the meeting rvill be mentioned in the succeeding story. But greatest praise goes to Dee E,ssley, General Chairman of the Convention. His work in the face of terrific personal difficulties, should win him an all-time meda..

Registration and Dinner

The convention began with registration'of delegates. The registration tables were set up in the main Galeria of the Biltmore Hotel, just outside the ball room The registration department was in charge of Ole May. He was ably assisted by an excellent committee of both men and women, and the receiving and registering of the guests was efficiently and pleasantly handled. It began Monday morning, September 6th.

At 5:59 Monday afternoon a cocktail party started in the parlors just outside the ballroom, and for an hour a goodly crowd gathered and partook of refreshments of all kinds. There was a small orchestra to lend harmony to the occasion, and hand-shaking was general. Here they came from all parts of the country to join the Hoo-Hoo throng, and get the fellowship going.

At 6:59 they moved into the adjoining ballroom, and the crowd filled the room completely. So the formal convention began at this time with dinner and entertainment. Paul Orban, President of the Log Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club, presided. When dinner ended he introduced the Toastmaster of the occasion, Jack Dionne. There were no toasts or speeches, except the remarks of the Toastmaster, so the program was a simple one. Mr. Dionne told a lot of stories, rambled a bit about old days in Hoo-Hoo, and then introduced the members of the Supreme Nine who were present at the head table.

Wednesday Morning

The convention rvas called to order by Snark of tlie

IJniverse Ray E. Saberson of St. Paul, Minn., who presided.

Mr. Saberson gave a truly inspirational address on the opportunity that Hoo-Hoo presents for the improvement of human relations throughout the lumber industry. He drew attention to the second of the nine aims set forth in the Hoo-Hoo Code of Ethics, which reads: "To promote human advancement and higher standards of civic, social, and economic relations lry developing in bgsiness the spirit of the Golden Rule, rvhich we accept as the basic principle of peace and prosperity for the world."

The speaker traced the remarkable growth of the Order since its reorganization by the Hoo-Hoo Immortals. He paid a tribute to the Supreme Nine, which gave him 100 per cent cooperation in the past year, and particularly mentioned the fine work of Ben F. Springer of Milwaukee; Wis., secretary of the Order. He commended the work done by the various Jurisdictions in the formation of nern' Hoo-Hoo Clubs.

Secretary Ben Springer called for the reports of the Board of Councillors, and of the various' jurisdictions.

Martin T. Wiegand, of Washington, D.C, gave the report of the Board of Councillors, in 'ivhich he announced that membership in the Order has more than doubled in the past year, now totaling nearly 7,000.

Secretary Springer then presented briefly the secretary's and the treasurer's reports, remarking that all members will receive later the printed reports. He reported that there are norv 51 clubs as against 2l in 7946.

Supreme Jabberwock E. W. Kettlety of Chicago reported for Jurisdiction Number 2.

Supreme Junior Hoo-Hoo LeRoy Stanton, Los Angeles, reported for Jurisdiction Number 6. He told of the grand cooperation he had received from the Vicegerent Snarks and the rarrk and file of Hoo-Hoo in the various districts in his Jurisdiction, and of the large number of new clubs that have been started within the last year.

Stanley F. Horn, Nashville, Tenn., lightened up the proceedings by injecting a good deal of humor into his report of the progress of Jurisdiction No. 4.

The report.of Jurisdiction No. 9 was given by Martin T. Wiegand, of lVashington, D.C.

Charles W. Goodrum, Kansas City, Mo., reported for Jurisdiction No. 7.

Martin J. McDonald, Port Arthur, Ontario, made the report for Jurisdiction No. 5, which includes all of Canada. He said that Hoo-Hoo activity in Canada will be greatly increased in the coming year.

W. E. (Bill) Gits, St. Paul, Minn., president of the Twin Cities Hoo-Hoo Club, reported the year's activities of Jurisdiction No. 8.

In the unavoidable absence of Carl Crow the report of Jurisdiction No. 3 was given by Ed Hoener, who told of the rebirth of Hoo-Hoo in the Pacific Northwest, and the fine contribution to this in the work of Carl Crow.

The progress of Jurisdiction No. 1 was reported by Joe Evans of Buffalo. N. Y. He said the Boston Hoo-Hoo Club now has 165 members, and the Buffalo Club has 210.

Wednesday's Luncheon

On Wednesday at noon the San Francisco Lumbermen's

Club acted as sponsor at a luncheon for both gentlemen and ladies, that filled the Biltmore ballroom to capacity. Wayne I. Rawlings, past president of the Club, officiated. A girl's orchestra furnished both instrumental and vocal entertainment during the luncheon.

Mr. Rawlings called the meeting to order, and introduced Jack Dionne, asking him to present the speaker of the day. That speaker proved to be one of mighty caliber, and for forty minutes he held the crorvd in the hollow of his hand rvhile he discussed "America On the Brink of the New Era."

The speaker was Algerdas N. Cheleden, a practicing attorney of the City of Los Angeles, formerly a Professor at U.C.L.A. He proved to be a thinker and orator of unusual gifts, and he traced the history of our present civilization from the early Greek philosophers up to the present day. lle was eloquent, forceful, and appealing. It was a speech that would win applhuse in any sort of uathering, and the audience was wildly enthusiastic in its approval.

This conluded the luncheon program.

Wednesday Afternoon Session

Carl C. Crow, of Portland, was on the program to speak Wednesday afternoon at the regular session, but illness had prevented his attendance. So the address of William C. Bell, sechduled for Thursday afternoon, was substituted. Mr. Bell reported in most interesting fashion oq the activities of the Educational Committee. He is Managing Director of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, and giving much of his time and talent to this educational work. He displayed and explained much of the literature and equipment used in the educational campaign, and predicted continually greater interest in and results from this schooling for lumbermen.

Bert McKee introduced the next speaker, Fritz B. Burns, of Los Angeles, President of Kaiser Community Hornes, and Past President, of the National Association of Home Builders. His topic was "A Builder Looks At Housing," and he spoke with authority as one of the leading home building authorities of the nation. Ife expressed the opinion that private industry has done a grand job of home building, that the housing situation is not nearly as bad as portrayed by many people, and that a great deal of present demand is mental and the result of the general inflation. He thinks that at the first slackening of business generally millions of people who are clamoring for housing like they never had before, will subside with their demands, and that a slackening in the apparent great need for housing will ensue. An army of people wants modern homes who never had more than a room before, and their insistence makes the housing situation seem worse than it is. He thinks builders will have to learn to build homes more cheaply, and lumbermen will have to learn to sell lumber cheaper.

The remainder of the afternoon program was the showing of the famous sound moving picture "Green lfarvest" of the Weyerhauser Timber Company.

Wednesday Evening

Wednesday evening was given over to a dinner dance in the famous Biltmore Bowl, with more than three hundretl Hoo-Hoo and their ladies in attendance. It was a wonderful affair. Miss Elizabeth Taylor, movie starlet, rvho was

recently titled "l\Iiss Hoo-Hoo Kitten of 1948," \\.es in attendance, accompanied by Glenn Davis, foot'ball itntnortal. Both r,vere introduced. '

Thursday Program

Thursday morning u'as takeu up by nrcetings dozen of the Hoo-Hoo Committees. There rr'es heli a fcrmal meeting of the convention.

Thursday at lloon there ri'as a grand lutlcherrn i:l the Biltmore ballroom, sponsorecl b1- the Southern Califo-nia Retail I-umber Association, through Orric Hanriltrtn. \:ar'ious of the officers and directors oi the Association n'cre itl attendance and seatecl at tl.re heacl tabie, and Gcorge C--lough was the very able Chairmarr.

He called on S. F. Horn, oi arrival, Harry T. Kendall, r.vho is Nun.rber One on the rvas n'armly rvelcomed.

Nashville, to introduce a llte of St. Paul. Nlr. Kendall, list of Hoo-lfoo Immortals,

Tl-ren Cl-rairman Clough introduced Tom Fox, rvho in turn very gracefullv introduced the speaker of the occasion, Col. Rosrvell P. Roser-rgren, of Los Angeles. A ve:v gifted speaker aucl a man rvith a rvonderful r'r'ar record, recently returned from llurope, he delivered a splendid address on our Present situation, our relations with Russia, and rvhat rve have to expect. He drew the conclusion that rve must either learn to get along with Russia, or else fight her. He does not believe we can just go along not getting along n'ith Russia, and still not fighting. He declared from his ol'n experience that undoubtedly the averag'e Russian citizen is friendly and would like to be neighborly rvith us, but that men above won't permit them to.

At 2:30 o'clock the last meeting convened in the convention hall. Ben Springer in the chair.

The first business was the ceremony of the embalming of Snark Saberson, an honor comferred on each retiring Snark. The service was splendidly handled by Chas. LeNfaster, Seer of the House of Ancients.

The standing committees appointed for that purpose then made their reports, rvhich rvere duly accepted. The last was the report of the Committee on nominations, S. F. Horn, Chairman. When the names u'ere read, the list rvas unanimously elected.

The ne'w' officers took their places in front of the audience, dnd the new Snark, Roy Stanton, made a very earnest and thoughtful speech of acceptance, promising to follou'

Kansas City had been promised the convention, and the meeting indorsed that promise unanimously. Then delegates from Boston spoke for the 1950 meeting, and several from Florida spoke for Miami for 1951.

Aberdee n Builder, J. B. Lamb

ANOTHER outstanding example of the durability of Exterior-type Douglas fir plywood, this attractive streamlined store front has given eleven years of maintenance-free service. J. B. Lamb of the Lamb Construction Company, Aberdeen, Washington, says: ooThe facade of Pearson's 'Women's and Children's Apparel Store was modernized in 1937 with Exteriortype ply'wood. The material has given thoroughly satisfactory service in every respect, especially in view of the heavy rainfall and the salt air of this seaport city. For nearly 15 years, I have used Exterior fir plywood as a preferred siding material on commercial and industrial buildings. From my experience, it leally stands the gafi."

McGoyern Announces New NHA Amendments

As a result of the recent amendments to the National Housing Act passed by the recent special session of Congress, John E. McGovern, Los Angeles District Director for the Federal Housing Administration, issued the following official announcements:

This office has been directed to resume insurance activities under Section 608 of the National Housing Act in accordance with the Amended Administrative Rules and Regulations effective August 12, 1948.

Any application under Section 608 which has been rejected or withdrawn, or any commitment which has been terminated or permitted to expire, may be reopened.

The principal effects of the Amendments to the Administrative Rules and Regulations are as follows:

1. The mortage shall not exceed 90/o of the Commis- sioner's estimate of the replacement cost of the property on the cost prevailing on December 31, 1947.

2. The mortgage per room limitation has been abolished and substituted therefor is the limitation that such part of the mortgage as may be attributable to dwelling use shall not exceed $8,100 per family unit.

3. In the selection of tenants there rvill be no discrimination by reason of the fact that there are children in the family. So long as the mortgage insurance is in effect, the mortgagor and any subsequent purchaser shall certify that -there will be no discrimination in the selection of tenants by the reason that there are children in the family. Violation of the certification shall be punishable as

a misdemeanor by a fine not in excess of $500.00

4. Authority to insure under Section 6O8 expires on . March 31, 1949.

5. In the event of prepayment of an insured mortgage subsequent to August 10, 1948, and prior to maturity, the Commissioner will refund the prorata portion of the current annual mortgage insurance premium.

Other than the above, the Administrative Rules and Regulations revised Dec. 19, 1947, are in full for'ce and effect.

"An increase in the limitation of the total insurance liability which may be outstanding from $165000,000 to $200,000,000, has been made. As Title I insurance liability is based on IO/o of the total loans outstanding by institutions, this amendment would permit the. issuance oI an additional $350,000,000 in Title I loans.

"The maximum amount of Class 3 loans has been increased from $3,000 to $4,500 for the construction of new homes and authorization has been given for alteration, repair, improvement or conversion loans. not to exceed $10,000 and having.maturities not in excess of seven years and 32 days to be used on existing structures for conversion to apartment houses or dwelling units for two or more families. This is known as a 1 (b) loan and previous to this amendment it was limited to a loan of $5,000 for the purpose of financing the repair, alteration, improvement or conversion of providing additional living accommodations for veteran occupancy. Under the present revision, it is now no longer required that the structure be in a war housing area or that any occupancy priority be given."

National Home Builder Attacks Proposed California Housing Law

Milton J. Brock, President of the National Association of Home Builders, says California's so-called "Housing Amendment of 1948," "Proposition 14," is worse for housing welfare than the Taft-Ellender-Wagner Federal Proposal.

Discussing the proposed state constitutional amendment, which will be voted on at the November elections, he said:

"IJnder the guise of providing public housing for those who lack the means to obtain shelter, this initiative creates a state housing agency with unlimited self determined powers.

'"Its commissioners, appointed without regard to civil service laws, are left free from any form of'regulation whatsoever for at least 1O years after the amendment is adopted.

"Calling for initial bond issue of $100,000,000, the initiative provides for the creation of a state agency with

powers to control every practice affecting the cost of construction of buildings.

"It would also be given power to set up a propaganda bureau.

"Hidden in the maze of. words are such phrases as;

'The agency may exercise its powers at any place in the state it may deem necessary or convenient.'

"There is also a classic clause giving such additional powers that the agency would be free to operate in any manner it saw fit.

"Another provides that for 10 years 'no law shall be enacted which will diminish or lessen the appropriations or powers' given the agency.

"In this manner would the hands of the elected representatives of government be effectively tied. In this manner would the people of a state relinquish control of their own government. In this manner we have witnessed the collapse of more than one nation in Europe."

Tree Planting Progrcrm

Next year over three trees will be planted in the United States for every man, woman and child in the country.

SPACED SHEAIHING %b& CERTIGRADE SHllfGlIS (nqt @41

Figure it out for yourself ! Compute the complete cost per square of roof, using any material that requires solid roof sheathing. Then compute the lower cost of Certigrade cedar shingles, using spaced, sheathing. Compare these costs for yourself.

Cedar Shingles can be laid on spaced sheathing because of their overlapping "bridging" construction. This saves builders nearly 50Vo of the costs of sheathing application. Cost of materials including decking is the only right way

to get comparative costs on the complete roofing job.

Although the unit cost of substitute roofing materials before application is sometimes lower than the unit cost of Certigrade No. I shingles, the complete Certigrade roof usually costs less ! And a roof of Red Label Grade Certigrades, on spaced sheathing, is always a moneysaver.

Figured by the cost per square, pet yeat of lif e, Certigrades are always your best buy.

Lumber lmports Increase While Exports Decrease

The rate of United States lumber imports in 1948 is considerably higher than a year ago u.hile lumber'exports dropped sharply, the Department of Commerce announces through its Office of International Trade.

According to preliminary Census Bureau reports, lumber imports during the first six months of 1948 reached the substantial total of 898,809,000 board feet for a gain of 56 per cent (322,891,000 feet) over imports in the corresponding period of 1947.

Both softwood and hardwood imports, amounting to 796,873,W and 101,936,000 board feet, respectively, showed marked increases compared with the first six mouths of last year. Canada, as usual, l-reads the list of shippers to this country, exceeding by a wide margin other exporting countries of both softwood and hardwood. Mexico, which achieved status as an important supplier during the recent war, continues to ship a good volume of softwoods. ATter a lapse of several years the Philippine Republic is now shipping hardwoods here in quantity.

United States lumber exports during the first six months of 1948 amounted to 3D,734,O00 board feet. This is a decrease of nearly 43 per cent (245,618,000 feet) from the volume shipped abroad in the same perio d ol 1947. The export figures reflect a pronounced slump'in European lumber demand. Available information does not suggest any appreciable pick-up in lumber exports for the balance of 19,18.

New Credit Begulctions Start Sept. 20th

Credit Regulation "W" to control consumer installment credit, was issued by the Federal Reserve Board on August 19th, and goes into effect September 20th. It covers installment sales of more than $50, and also covers installment loans for most consumer purposes on credits up to $5,000. Some of the things on rvhich regulation "W" prescribes down payments are automobiles, cook stores, dish washers, ironers. air conditioners. On automobiles a dorvn payment of one-third is a minimum. On most other things it is twenty per cent. On all installment sales up to $1,CI0 the time limit to pay is 15 months;maximum maturity on amounts above $1,000 is 18 months, except that on amounts above $1,000 the monthly payment must be at least $70. Merchants who do installment selling, particularly those lvho sell automobiles, have been making a hard drive for the past several weeks to make sales before the neu' rule goes into effect.

Shiningr

Little Oscar, whose family had recently moved into the community, was playing with some of his new friends in the back yard of a neighbor.

The neighbor, a genial, friendly sort of woman, looked out her window and called to the new boy:

"Hello! Isn't that a new face?"

"It's not new, Mam," explained little Oscar. "It's just been washed."-(Wall Street Journal.)

Little llls

Once life's little ills annoyed me, When life's little ills were few, One fly in my pot of ointment, Put me in a dreadful stew.

Now that waning life has taught me, The infrequent good to Prize, I rejoice to find some ointment In my little pot of fies.

A Prcyer For My Pastor

(The following prayer was written by Ex-Governor Robert S. Kerr, of Oklahoma, and makes a very interesting scrapbook piece).

"Our Father, let me be a pillar of strength to help him hold up, and not a thorn in his flesh to sap his strength, nor a burden on his back to pull him down.

"Let me support him without striving to possess him.

"Let me give him help that he may devote more time in working for the salvation of others, and'less time in gratifying my vanity.

"Let me work for him as the pastor of all the members and not compel him to waste precious time in bragging on me.

"Let me be unselfish in what I do for him, and not selfish in demanding that he do more for me.

"Let me strive to serve him and the church, much, agd be happy as he serves me less, and the church and the others more."

Proud Words

"Look out how you use proud words. When you let proud words go it is not easy to call them back. They wear long boots, hard boots. Look out how you use proud words."

-Carl Sandburg.

Right Plcrces

Grandmother says she was not so surprised at the fact that little four-year-old Willie picked up profanity; what surprised her was his ability to use these wrong words in the right places.

Iohn Milton on Censoring Books

"IJnless wariness be used, as good almost to kill a man as to kill a good book: who kills a man, kills a reasonable creature, God's image: but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were, in the eye. Many a man lives a burden to the earth ;but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasbred up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, whereof, perhaps, there is no great loss; and revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labours of public men, how we spill that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books; since we see a kind of homicide may thus be committed, sometimes a martyrdom; and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the., slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself ; slays an immortality, rather than a life."

Softer Pickings

Girl: "Father is delighted to hear that you are a poet."

Boy: "Why?"

Girl: "The last of my boy friends he tried to throw out, was a pugilist."

Chinc

"China is a place where beauty appears unexpectedly. The proportions of a curving roof, a girl smiling sleepily in a doorway, as she whisks the flies away, a child riding a black pig bare-back, three old women walking arm-inarm through a mist-laden field, the clean curve of a plow as it comes dropping from the earth-all these have the qualities of everlastingness.. If you search for them you will never find them. They come so suddenly that you are overwhelmed, and they have gone before you can photograph them in your mind."-Robert Pyane.

Motherly Advice

Motherly advice has been praised in song and story, but she missed her cue when she said to the son who was starting his first solo fight in a plane: "Be careful. Fly low, and slow."

J. P. Wheeler, president of Wheeler Pin'e Co., Sar.r Francisco, believes that the time has arrived for getting down to the proper marketing of lumber. "The 'il'holesaler," he says, "has a definite function to perform, and cau be of real service to both buyer and seller. It is gratifying to see that more of the larger mills are norv putting their stock through California rvholesalers." He is also thoroughly in agreement 'ivith the idea of selling the right grade of lumber for the proper use, and f eels that the architect or contractor should not call for higher grades than needed.

Scvings Through Use oI Timber Connectors

Substantial savings in hardware and lumber, rvhen split ring connectors are used instead of bolts, is shown in a new bulletin just published by the Timber Engineering Company.

Taking an ordinary tension splice designed for a 22,5A0 pound load, the cost study shows 62/o more hardware cost and 1OO/o more lumber requiqed for the bolted joint in comparison with a split ring connector joint. The bolted joint, to carry the,load, requires eight /4,, x9,, bolts and 16 plate washers costing $1.76, while just 4 connectors and 2 bolts with 4 r,vashers will do the same job for $1.09.

More than 22% ol those who said they preferred wood windows gave weathertightness as a principal reason. There are three principal reasons why wood windows provide an excellent protection from heat as well as cold, woodwork authorities point out. First, wood is in itself a natural insulating material and does not readily transmit temperature changes. Second, wood windows are easily weatherstripped either in manufacture or by the home owner, thus providing protection from wind infiltration. In addition, modern stock design windows are precisionmanufactured so that all parts fit together wlth great accuracy.

Every Human Has Something to Sell . . An Editorial

Every human has something to sell.

Whether it be man or woman, boy or girl, child or grownup.

As we make our way through life we are constantly engaged in the game of "selling" to the rest of the world.

We are all trying to "sell ourselves" to those with whom we come in contact, in the best possible way.

We are trying to sell our stock on the market of human opinion in the most constructive manner.

We all want the "other'fellow" to appreciate our best points; to grasp the best possible opinion of us.

Therefore the fundamentals of salesmanship are of interest to ALL of us.

The average man, and the average woman, ambitious though they may be, and intensely interested in making the best possible impression, whether it be of a business or personal character, does NOT appreciate the possibilities of the situation from a SELLING standpoint, and leaves a whole lot to chance.

Whereas the wise man leaves NOTHING to chance that he can humanly help. Chance may get you something, but it may not be what you are looking for.

The man who takes the most practical view of the thing does two primary things: he takes unbiasedt inventory to see what he has to sell; and he decides thoughtfully and intelligently what impression he is going to try to create.

He checks up his assets and his liabilities.

He lays his plans for bolstering up his discovered low spots, and intensifying his high lights.

He decides what he wants the world to think of HIM; what impression he wants to CREATE; and then he goes out with his selling campaign.

The woman whose family has moved into a new town to reside, does the same thing. She appreciates the fact that she is going to be appraised and inventoried-critically. Her appearance generally, her clothing, her manner, her manners-everything is going to be weighed in the balance.

Therefore, a "selling" campaign is valuable to her as it is to her husband who invades a new business circle and wants to do his best in it.

Remember the selling thought all the time.

Secure ATTENTION.

Create INTEREST

Sustain that interest by some attractive thought, idea or ac't.

MAKE YOUR SALE.

Whether you are a new boy in a new neighborhood, approaching for the first time the neighborhood "gang," or a little girl who is invited to "jump rope" for the first time ln the new school she starts attending; the young lady who is making her debut in society; or her father or mother in whatever thing THEY are trying to accomplish, the fundamentals are the same.

We all have something to sell.

And the more intelligently and-impressively and interestingly, and enthusiastically we handle the effort, the greater will be the reward.

Our forests, unlike any other natural resource, are renewable, replaceable and, with proper management, everlasting. Like any other crop, trees must be harvested when mature or they deteriorate and lose their youthfulness.

Managed forests or Tree Farms are the lumber industry's obje,ctive. There must be a definite end to the supply of old-growth and forests raised under management are the only possible source of raw material when the virgin forest is gone. "Tree Farm" is the name for an area of forest land that will be used for continuous forest production. It is a business enterprise and will be managed as such. It will be improved and given better than the average protection from fire and other forest enemies. A seed supply, planting, or other method of restocking will be provided above the legal requirements. Full use of land which
