Howl-rumber l-rooks

Since this space was filled two weeks ago, there has been no softening of the demand or the price of either Western lumber or plyvr,'ood. Both have advanced in price since then, due to a demand that continues to dwarf the supply. The car shortage is as bad as ever, the shipment of lumber continues far belorv production, and reduced production in the face of such a balance is naturally anticipated. The price of lumber continues a question mark, being based almost entirell' on chance of delivery. Available lumber is scarce, high, and hard to get. To call it a wild market is an under_ statement.

Lumber shipments of 435 mills reporting to the National Trade Barometer issued by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, were 3.5 per cent below production for the week ended August 26, 1950. In the same week new o:-ders for these mills were 5.9 per cent below production. Unfilled orders of the reporting mills an.rounted to 60 per

ARE COLORFUL, BEAUTIFUL, EC(IN(|MICAL

THERE'S NO SECRET about the phenomenal increase in demand for stained Shakertown Sidewalls. Architects, builders and dealers prefer them because they are truly factory finished, requiring no further staining or painting on the job. Home owners appreciate the assured beauty of Shakertowns' rich, enduring colors. If you are not now selling Shakertowns, you'll find it a good investment to write for information and color samples-today.

The Perma Proilucts trad.ernarh is backeil by more than a quarter century of ou*nniting public Lcc.pnnce fi, qualiry and, seruice.

Applied over inexpensive couraes of low-grade cedar shinglee, Shakertowns give double insulation and increaeed beauty with greater weather exposure of the quality ehakes.

God give us men ! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and steady hands. Men that the lust of office does not kill: Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie: Men who can stand before a demagogue, And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog, In public duty and in private thinking;

For, while the rabble with their time-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deedsMingle in selfish stride, lo,! Freedom weeps! Wrong rules the land, and waiting justice-sleeps !

J'G'Holland'

Love of country must rise higher among good men, and become highly vocal as well as physical. The young men in Korea are dying, as evidence of their love of country. We, at home, must likewise do our share, small as that share must be by comparison. Such philosophies as seem to endanger our way of life must be met head on-and destroyed. While the Communists kill and maim our boys over there, we must stop this damnable boring from within that goes on here at home.

Love of country i" thJ "JorJ". emotion of the human mind. But it must be coupled with willingness to strive and sacrifice when danger threatens. It must be courageous enough to speak out with words "as hard as cannon balls" when we see things here at ho,me that seem to deserve denunciation. Not to speak when we see things being done that we believe should not be done, and see things being left undone that we think should be done, is evidence of personal cowardice that all good men must shun in times of national peril. And we are in national peril now.

As united States ,.";.r. cJorg. Marone, of Nevada, recently wrote for publication: "The fact that we wholeheartedly unite to back up our boys on the front does not require that we excuse the blundering methods which made this awkward situation possible, and which will inevitably lead to greater embarrassment." That same thought is being echoed all over this land, and if you want to hear it expressed in cannon-ball terms, ride the trains, the b.usses, the streetcars, and listen to men talk. We must not allow ourselves to be muzzled in the free expressions of our honest opinions, if we expect to survive and keep our liberties.

Never was there a time in our history when the inspired

"Give us Men," of J. G. Holland was more surely a national prayer. Bernard M. Baruch, great American thinker and patriot and advisor of great men, recently said: "I find competence low, and growing lower in the affairs of atl mankind, and that includes us. I find politics largely in the hands of self-seeksls-ftr6sg who give the people what they think they want-bread and circuses."

*rk*

But that terrific columnist, Arthur "Bugs" Baer, boiled that opinion down to a still finer point, when he recently wrote: "MAN AT HIS BEST, IS STILL AN APE AT HIS WORST." That may sound rough, but brother, before you say so, take a look at the world today.

,8*rF

William Allen White, the Sage of Emporia, used to say that this nation is waiting for "another humble, kindly, gentle leader like Abraham Lincoln." Trouble is that the world is billions of years old, and there has never been another like Honest Abe. But there have been plenty of great and good men, and there are probably plenty of them today, if we could just dig them out and start them running things like Abe would have done had he been here of late.

we still wait. The o.J "; ,ir""." remains unbent. It has been often said by patriotic writers and speakers that whenever a great crisis arises, God sends great men to meet the needs of the nation.'If so, then truly this crisis must be much smaller than it at present seems. As the eloquent Ingersoll once said: "We cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo of a wailing crf."

Said another poet t n.,.al"ri '

"Give us men to match our mountains, Give us men to, match our plains, Men with eras in their purpose, Men with epochs in their brains."

We need statesmen ""-J. intl is no time for politicians. Patriots are unorganized. There was never a time when public men seemed so fearful of the next election, so reluctant to strike for the right and "damn the torpedoes." It is impossible to employ a high degree of statesmanship when in dire fear of political consequences. Yet opportunity knocks, here in this dear land of ours; the opportunity for big and courageous men to step into the picture. "There were giants in those days," says the Old Testament. There are giants in these days, too, and on that rock I stand. Let patriots find them out, and put them in harness. Mediocrity with loud voices cannot solve this tragic world situation. We must find great minds; unselfish, courageous,

The drive against Communism here at home, grows daily, but faces huge barriers. The other day in Los Angeles there was a meeting of citizens to discuss Communism, and means for its suppression. A speaker who was contending that all Communists be cornpelled to register as such and indentify themselves so that all might know them and shun them, was greeted with loud boos and hisses from many in the audience. His reply should be historic. He said: "Our boys are being shot down in Korea by rats and traitors just like those in the audience who are hissing." And, he added, t}rey will be shooting the rest of us in the back when they get the chance.

The muzzling of the *r1.. L.l"ral MacArthur by President Truman, shocked the nation more than the man in the White House understands. I heard a man who looked like a mechanic, dressed in denims, and carrying a lunch box, discussing it loudly and clearly on a bus the other day. He said: "They have muzzled General MacArthur; but don't worry; we still have General Vaughan." And when the papers reported that the President, learning about a foreign policy remark dropped by Senator Robert Taft, remarked publicly that he did not know Senator Taft was a military expert, the thought that "he doesn't think much of MacArthur, either," became common talk.

neighborhood and all those in it, we would tell him so. 'We would tell him to his face that he was all those things. And we would treat him as such. Yet in the neighborhood of nations we are still talking politely to this brigand, this destroyer of nations. We should not allow the Russian representatives to sit in conference with the representatives of the civilized nations, when trying to decide the fate of the world, said Mr. Henry. We wouldn't invite a criminal brigand to our house to dinner. Why tolerate him in our union of natio,ns?

He said that Russia overshadows the world, and everyone in it. Today we are increasing taxes, because of Russia. We are raising a great :trrny, because of Russia. We are drafting our young men, because of Russia. Russia fills all our thoughts, affects all our plans. And so,it has always been. Russia has always been an aggressor nation, and he quoted a famous statement of long ago that wherever on the ramparts of Europe a sentry cries "Who goes there?" the reply is always "Russia." So, he suggested, let's quit temporizing with Russia, and treat her as she deserves'

With regard to Korea, he said: "If we only drive the North Ko,reans back to the 38th parallel and give them a chance to do it all over again, we might as well bring our boys back from Korea right now."

When New York

,."*;":*:n

patriotically refused to unload Russian cargoes, Mr. Truman rebuked them publicly. He said it was not ulr to the longshoremen to set this co'untry's foreign policy. Perhaps not. But as between the longshoremen and Secretary Acheson, I'11 take the longshoremen, every time. Wouldn't you? :r :& :r

But even with those things in mind, Mr. Truman's bitterest critics stood appalled at his remarks about the United States Marines. American history furnishes no precedent for so colossal a blunder. And his critics, and they are legion, simply say-"f told you so."

:{<**

I heard a grand speech the other day. It was delivered to a big gathering of business and professional men by one of the nation's top columnists and radio commentators -Bill Ffenry, of Washington. No more honored or respected man lives and works in the news business in this country today. He said-said it better of course-something that I've written in this column twice lately. He protested against this natio'n treating Russia as anything but what we know her to be, a gigantic threat to the peace of the world and all the good people in it. He said that we treat this horrible aggressor with dignity and soft language, whereis we should treat her as we would treat a neighbor in our horne community, who had the same characteristics as a man that Russia has as a nation.

*{<*<

He said that if there were a man in our neighborhood who was a liar, a thief, a killer, who sought to harm the

And with respect to Formosa,'he said: "\ll/e should take the advice of the man who has understood the situation all along, and not of those who, it is now clear, didn't understand things."

With regard to the set-up in Washington today, he compared the government to a college, preparing a varsity football team. The varsity team is built up from the various scrub teams, he said, and without the scrub teams there could be no varsity. But, he suggested, what we need in Washington today is the varsity team. "The President is entitled to the best brains in the country and we are entitled to believe that he wants them. He has said so many times. Ordinarily there is a place for mediocrity, for a scrub team. But this is no time for us to have a scrub team." The impression Mr. Henry gave was that we have a scrub team on the job now. :N<

Mr. Henry told one story in his speech, and it was a dandy. He said a German in Berlin lost his pet parrot, and wanting it back, ran an ad in the new3paper, offering a reward for its return. And the advertisement contained this very adroit clause: "Any political opinions expressed by this bird are strictly his own."

The rich, rain forests of Oregon yield the large and sound Douglas fir that comes to APMI mills for plywood manufacture. From the woods, "peelefs" are transported to the mills by rail or rruck. Only selected logs are chosen for plywood producrion. Only skilled craftsmen operate the specialized machinery that creates APMI's exterior and interior type panels. And only when these panels pass dual inspection (that of the company and of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association) does APMI plywood go to market. There is a type, size and grade of APMI plywood for every building need. Each panel is identified by a grademark and by the company trademark-your double guarantee of quality.

First Redwood Tree Farm Dedicated

Calilornia Redwood Association dnnounc€s dpprov al of Tree Farm applications lor more than 108,000 acres in Redwood Region

The dedication on August 26, 1950 of the first Tree Farm in the redwood region has been acclaimed a great success, not only by the 2,000 guests attending the ceremonies but also by many interested people who depended on the press and radio to learn about the historic event. It was quite evident from the nation-wide interest that the coast redrvood is as always the glamor gal of our forests.

The dedication ceremonies centering about the presentation of the certificate for Tree Farm No. 1 lvere held in llammond Grove, a magnificent virgin stand of massive redwoods on a big bend of the Van Duzen river, near Carlotta in Humboldt County, California. The certificate was presented by Otis R. Johnson, president of California Redwood Association, to President George B. Mcleod of Hammond Lumber Company, owner of the Van Duzen River Unit No. 1 of Hammond Tree Farms.

The speech of welcome rvas delivered by William S. Rosecrans, chairman of the California State Board of Forestry and nationally knou'n for l-ris support of forest management and conservation projects. Governor Earl Warren gave the chief address and unveiled the first Tree Farm sign in the redrvood region. Both speakers paid tribute to the Tree Farm movement as a great contribution to the cause of forestry and conservation and pledged the cooperation of the state in making it a success.

The dedication was impressive in a setting entirely in harmony lvith its purpose. Prior to the formal ceremonies the Hammond Lumber Co. served the guests with a typical lumberjack lunch.

One of the most popular features of the dedication program was the guided tours of the Van Duzen River Tree Farm. Flat bed trucks in the charge of trained foresters carried loads of 30 people on a trip over the logging roads of the Tree Farm. For many of the city people it was an exciting and strenuous trip, but they know now what a Tree Farm is and how it is operated.

They saw a producing Tree Farm of 16,000 acres made up of harvested lands, operating areas, and virgin timber, and they were told how this forest is being harvested and how trees will be grown for the future. This Tree Farm is dedicated to the continuous production of high quality timber crops.

The forester guides explained that Van Duzen is not ndcessarily a typical redu'ood Tree Farm. No two Tree Farms in the redwoods rvill be exactly alike, as there is a tremendous variation in the timber and therefore in the methods of logging. This unit lends itself readily to selective cutting, and only that form of logging has been used since operations were started in 1935. Only the large, mature trees are cut, those exceeding four feet in diameter, and this practice leaves between ten and thirty standing trees per acre.

The guides pointed out that probably the most important consideration in planning any long-range tree growing program is protection from uncontrolled fires. If money and efiort are to be invested in Tree Farms, all is lost if the growing timber is allowed to burn. The Van Duzen River Tree Farm is intensively protected from fire by fine access

Earf Hoffman, Plf*nad Pataep,t Refbra lrr".- Buztittp-t4

This is a story about Earl Hoftman, of Los Angeles, who has just announced his retirement from active business. He is still in the prime of his life apparently, possessing all his rugged strength and health. He has worked long and hard in the lumber and associated industries, and he suddenly decided that he has earned a rest, and so he has started taking it. Well equipped with this world's goods, it looks like the big, likable Hofiman has a lot of good times and interesting life ahead of him. The writer of this piece tips his hat to his old friend. Few men possess so much wisdom, as to retire and start playing while still able to enjoy the fruits of their toil.

The bulk of this story is going to concern Earl Hofiman's pioneer days in the Douglas Fir plywood industry. He spent his boyhood days in Chicago, came to California at an early age, and in 1911 we find him selling sash and doors to the retail trade for the W. P. Fuller Company. That makes him a real pioneer in that industry in this territory. He was always, and still is, a whale of a mixer, and a most accomplished salesman, lovable, dependable, full of fire and power.

In 1919 he settled in Los Angeles and established his own firm, the Earl Hoftman Company, wholesale lumber and other wooden commodities. In 1925 the manufacture of Douglas Fir plywood really began in the Pacific Northwest, though in a very small way. Plywood making was comparatively crude. The manufacture and improvement of the vital glues that make plywood possible, and likewise the mechanical creation of the board was something that took many years to bring to present perfection.

But Earl lfoffman was a man of vision. Perhaps no man anywhere looked upon that early plywood, and saw its future possibilities more clearly than Earl Hoffman. Result, in the late twenties we find this big, smiling, gogetter engaged in the plywood business. He fixed up a trailer to'haul back of his car, and he arranged the trailer to carry samples of this entirely unknown wooden board. And he started calling on the retail lumber trade in Southern California, showing and talking and selling Douglas Fir plywood. Only the name was different. He went up to Tacoma and made a deal with some of the early manufacturers of the board, and they sold and shipped him supplies of same. He opened a small ware,house in Los Angeles to store the product. He sold it to the trade, and delivered it from his warehouse.

It was not Douglas Fir plywood then. It was Hoffco Wood Board, as he called it, naming his particular board after the Hoffman Company. Later he got to calling it Fir Wallboard. But he showed it to the entire lumber and building trade of Southern California, and he boosted it as only he could. His friends tell wonderful stories about his early experiences with the board. He always carried a sample board into the office of his prospective buyer,

and demonstrated it. In one place he stood the board against the wall, failing to notice that there was a heating unit behind it. As he sat talking to the lumber dealer they heard a cracking sound. The sample board was coming apart, separating as the heat melted the old-fashioned glue. Another time he was telling a lumber dealer how strong the board was. To demonstrate, he kicked his sample as it leaned against the wall. He gauged his distance and power incorrectly. His foot went through the board. They didn't make cores in those days like they do now. Those are only two of the scores of things that happened to this original plywood salesman and enthusiast, as he went about through the highways and the byways, proving himself-as we look back at it now-to be one of the most practical pioneers in what was to become a mighty industry.

It might be safe to say that Earl Hofiman had the Fir plywood vision that few others of that time possessed. Men of vision are few in this world where most men are strong on hind-sight, but weak or missing on foresight. As Bing Crosby once remarked: "Some got it-some ain't got it." Earl Hoffman had it.

His reputation as a Fir plywood man spread, and in 1931 we find the M and M Wood Working Company making a deal with him whereby he was placed in charge of all their sales of plywood, doo.rs, and lumber, in all the states west of the Mississippi River. That arrangement continued until 1948, when it was severed. The Earl Hofiman Company remained alive all that time, and in 1948 Mr. Hoffman made a deal with James B. ("Jim,,) Magee, by which the latter became a full partner in the company, taking over a full share of the work of operating a business that was making a tremendous success.

And now, on September first, 1950, Earl Hofiman retires from the business he has been operating for 31 years. As this is written he and his wife are touring Alaska, while they decide what other parts of the world deserve their interest and attention. Both of them love to travel, and for some time to come they propose to see the places and things they have longed for.

The Earl Hoffman Company has been liquidated, and a new company of the same name has been organized as a partnership by Jim Magee, and the business carries on just as it'has been doing. Jim is in charge in Los Angeles, at the company office at 6N7 South'La Brea Avenue. Bob Wells continues to cover the Los Angeles territory, Gus Fusari continues in the San Diego territory, while Jim Magee's father, Capt. W. A. Magee, retired, covers Northern California out of his home in San Jose. Office work is handled at Los Angeles by Frances Qualey and June Coon.

That's the set-up. Jim Magee has made nothing but friends since he joined Earl Hoffman just a couple of years back. The world-renowned flyer has made good as a lumber salesman, and he promises to carry on the same type of wholesale lumber business and give the same superior brand of service they have been giving.

While Earl Hoffman-bless his old soul-steps high; a free man.

Plywood Sales Opportunities

A recent breakdown of Douglas fir plywood sales throughout the nation shows that approximately 40 per cent is sold for housing, 15 per cent for heavy construction and 45 per cent for other uses which range from garden furniture to railroad cars, generally lumped under the catchall category of industrial sales.

Volume-wise the retail dealer's largest plylvood sales are in the field of housing. Last year, approximately 400 square feet o{ ply'rvoocl was used in each nerv house built, with some using as many as 4,00O or more square feet.

Plyvvood has many sales-advantages in the hidden parts of a house for such structural applications as sheathing, subflooring and roof decking. If the builder or architect is interested in savings, he can easily see that the large area covered by each 4'x 8' panel will materially reduce application time and cost. Where it takes from l>etrveen three and four hundred pieces of lumber for sheathing and subflooring in the average small house, fer,ver than 70 pieces of standard 4x8 plyu'ood can do the same job. This means, of course, less .cutting, less nailing, less labor.

Additional economies can be secured by using plywood panels for concrete forms on foundation work and using them again as subflooring or sheathing.

Plywood's contribution to overall strength of the structure is a matter of proven record, U. S. Forest Products Laboratory tests show '/a" plywood nailed to framing members of a rvall rvith openings for door and r,r'indorv is more than tu'ice as strong, has twice the relative rigidity of 1x8 lumber sheathing-another vital plywood sales-fact.

Recognizing plywood's great strength and rigidity properties, FHA has recently ruled that f" plywood is acceptable when joist spacing is not over 16". If %" plywood is used, joist spacing can be increased to 21'. Under the same ruling, plyu'ood sheathed houses no longer require corner bracing.

Adaptability to every architectural style or design effect has made Ilxterior plywood increasingly popular as a siding material. Plywood panels sarvn lengthr,vise in half or thirds can lte applied as attractive extra-wide lapped sidings. Applied flush, plywood goes hand in hand rvith modern designs calling for smooth, unbroken surfaces; a picturesque board and batten effect can be obtained by applying panels vertically rn'ith narrorv wood battens over vertical joints and intermediate points.

Other portions of the home ollering extra plyrvood profit opportunities are the so called "costtlme jelvelry" spots such as gable ends, soffits and moclern fencing. For soffits and breezeu'ay ceilings, Exterior plywood panels create smooth, unbroken areas that set them off in flattering contrast to the rest of the l-rome. In California particularly, plywood outdoor fences are becoming increasingly popular to enclose outdoor living areas and fit exactly today's trend tor,vard private outdoor living.

The wide range of interior finishing effects make plywood paneling a popular interior finish material. Plywood's easy

r,vorkability, strength and large size make it a natural choice for othei' interior uses such as kitchen cabinets and storage walls.

The same desirable characteristics that make plywood preferred for nel,v construction, also make it a standout for remodeling-particularly for the home orvner who plans to do his own attic or basement remodeling. Plywood is easy to 'ivork with ordinary carpenter tools, speeds work by covering big areas fast-al1 vital sales-fa.ctors in selling plyrvood for home remodeling.

Plyrvood has myriad applications on the farm-each one a potential sale for the alert rural building material dealer. Each of the service buildings on the farm-and the farm home itself-is suited to at least partial construction and remodeling with durable Exterior plyrvood.

The sales-points of plywood for farm uses are literally built right into the product. Large, light weight, punctureproof panels speed construction no matter whether the farmer or carpenter does the work. Plywood holds nails and screws right at the very edge, provides extra structural or bracing strength which simplifies framing.

Exterior plywood is the material that farmers like to use for silos, hog houses, chicken houses, brooders, barns and milk houses. In dairy barns and milk houses, for example, the advantage of smooth, puncture-proof, durable Exterior plyr,vood walls is all important in raising healthy productive stock.

Plywood has gained wide acceptance for small portable farm structures such as hog houses. The selling opportunities of prefabricated farm structures are tremendous-particularly if the present trend of pre-building farm structures in lumber yards continues. Many retailers have added new profits by prefabricating small farm structures with plyvi'ood right in their own yard or by teaming up with a local farm builder..

Another example of plywood performance on the farm is the over 25@ Exterior plywood grain bins built last year to help meet the critical grain storage problem. The speed 'ivith which they were built and their performance srnce stand as stark evidence of the results of research and testing 'ivhich have made Douglas fir plywood the best all around farm building material.

Those same plywood properties-durability, strength, size, workability-applied in an entirely separate field offer fertile sales opportunities among boat builders.

\\reek-end sailor and professional alike have found Exterior plyrvood ideal for all marine construction or repair rvork. Tl-rey've found the big panels simplify and speed construction... build stronger. tighter craft that are light and easy to handle . give long years of rugged service.

Use of the big sheets eliminates the necessity of caulking as in most small boats built by amateurs, a single panel will cover the bottom from keel to chine and cover the sides from chine to gunwale. Plywood's unique cross-laminated

construction makes it punctureproof, splitproof against all ordinary boating hazards.

Of great importance to all boat builders is the observance of two requisites for successful boat building with plywood: first, use only Exterior type plywood with completely waterp:oof bond for all boat work-inside or out; Exterior type plywood is positively identified by the EXTDFPA branded on panel edges. Second, use the right grade of Exterior type for each marine application. Standard Exterior plywood grades are adequate for most parts of small pleasure boats, including hull planking.

For hull planking on boats subject to extreme or rigorous use, such as racing craft, cruisers and commercial boats, Exterior panels of special physical construction should be specified. These panels have select outer plys and special

inner-ply construction and are bonded with the same completely waterproof adhesives.

The recent development of extra-long plywood panels serves well to expand plywood sales opportunities in marine construction. These king-size panels often cover from stem to transom with a single sheet. Most popular lengths are 16, 20 and Z4-f.oot sheets for outboards, sailboats and small cruisers, although plywood manufacturers can make and ship lengths up to 50 feet on special order.

The broad heading of industrial uses offers one of the greatest potential plywood markets. Included in this category are sign and display makers, as well as thousands of small manufacturers who include at least some plywood in their product. fn fact, almost all manufacturing plants represent either a real or potential plywood customer for the sales-seeking retail lumber dealer.

Forest Fire Dcnger Reqches Peck

San Francisco, Sept. lG-The costliest forest fire season in California since 7924 is now at its peak of danger, Federal and State forestry chiefs said today in a joint warning to hunters and all others who will be in the outdoors this fall.

"This has been the most explosive fire season California has had in 26 years," said a statement issued by DeWitt Nelson, State Forester, and Perry A. Thompson, U. S. regional forester. "An unusual lack of humidity dried the forests and ranges this year to such a degree that some fires l-rave traveled a mile in a few minutes. The peak of danger is right now, from the cumulative eft'ect of months of dryness." '

They urged hunters in the deer season opening Sept 16 to take these precautions : Smoke only in camps, habitations or areas marked "Smoke here." Don't learre campfires or rvarming fires until you kill the last spark. Iteport forest fires to the nearest forest station, peace officer or telephone operator.

So far this year, California has had over 4,0@ forest and nrngc fires. Fast-moving fronts of flame have taken six lives and burr.red more than 200,000 acres.

I):ur-ragc to rvatersheds, timber and other natural resources may exceed five million dollars. Cost of suppressing the fir-es is at least several million dollars-u'hich comes orrt of taxpayers' pockets.

Nelson ancl Thompson declared this year's outbreak of fires is surpassed only by. the disastrous season ol 1924 when 2.600 forest fires burned 1,500,@0 acres.

Two views of a single scene, one dated 1940, the other 1950. By 1940 the virgin Douglas fir forest of this land tvas all logged. It was clear-cutting, as a new crop of Douglas fir grows well in open light, poorly in shade. The snags were felled, to reduce fire hazard. Trash r,r,as burned under control to take away still more fuel. Down the hill, unseen in the picture, seed trees were left by the 1oggers, located so that up-dra{ts of late {all winds would scatter seed-nature's way of reforestation. A forest-fire lookout was erected, with a protection road running to it. A forestry camp for summer fire guards was built. All this and much more was done by foresters and loggers, to bring up and protect the crop shown in the second picture. And this is the story on millions of harvested Douglas fir acres in Western Washington and Oregon that are now producing ner,v wood.

25 Yecr Report on Treated Lumber

The American Lumber & Treating Company has recently issued a handsomely prepared and printed 44-page illustrated booklet covering ZS years of service records on "Wolmanized" pressure-treated lumber. This report cites the case histories of more than 55 million feet of treated material and lists 581 specific installments where this decay and termite-resistant wood has been used.

This is the third of a series of such reports made on this same subject by this company, the first being dated 1941, and the second 1948. More than 7 million of the total 55 million feet covered in this report has been in use between 20 and 25 years. Copies of the report are available to interested parties free of charge from the Technical Department, American Lumber & Treating Company, 332 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Ill.

Union Lumber Company Askt Certification Of 65,000 Acre Tree Farm

Following close on the l-reels of the certification and dedication of the great Hammond Lumber Company tree farm, comes the application made by the Union Lumber Company, of San Francisco and Ft. Bragg, for certification of their great 65,331-acre tree farm in Mendocino County. Their reforestation proiect is in two units of 25,517 and 39,814 acres each.

In addressing the application to the California Redwood Association, Mr. Otis Johnson, president of Union, said: "These lands are being protected and managed according to the tree farm standards of the Cali{ornia Redwood Association, and in a manner that should result in continuous production of commercial timber products. Union Lumber Company subscribes to the four basic principles governing tree farms in the Redwood region. We have in the past, and we intend to continue to carry on our timber harvesting operations in a manner that will maintain these lands in good productive condition."

PROTE CTION-Treating of lumber preserves it-just as alloys preserve metals.The purpose is to protect lumber against costly rot and termite damage.

PRESSURE TREATMENT vs. Surface ApplicationAuthorities say that pressure treatment provides the only sure, lasting protection to lumber,

Later there will be a formal dedication of these ljnion tree farms. In the August 15, 1925, issue of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT, there appeared the first story ever printed concerning the early refo,restation project of the Union Lumber Company, with pictures to illustrate sarne. This company was tl.ren operating a big nllrsery for young Redwoods near their Ft. Bragg mill.

At that time the Albion Lumber Company, the Caspar Lumber Company, the Glen Blair Lumber Company, and the Mendocino Lumber Company were also doing Redwood reforestation n'ork, as mentioned in that story of 25 years ago.

PIyVans

According to John Mount, manager of the marine service division of the Insurance Company of America, good export packing should be light in weight yet strong; have a large measure of protection against damage, theft and pi1ferage; be inexpensive.

With these requirements in mind, Johnsen and Reyerson, old and established export packers of Brooklyn, N.Y., designed their new-type, low-cost export lift vans and large cases made of sturdy Douglas fir plywood.

The ne'iv "PlyVan" containers "are from 20/o to 35/o lorver in cost than good conventional wooden cases," explains Louis Bruchiss, Johnsen and Reyerson sales mana-

"A Sqle Dcry Is A Pcydcry"

The above heading, rn'hen suggested as a safety slogan to the management of the lJnion Lumber Company, at Ft. Bragg, California, won a fifty dollar cash prize for Mr. J. N. Prince, one of the employees of the company. It seems that the Company announced to its employees the inauguration of a Union Lumber Company Safety Program, starting July first and continuing through that month. The entire aim of the program rvas to preach and teach safe operation of personal jobs in the big Redwood mill. One of the features of the program vr,as the offer of fifty dollars cash prize to the employee suggesting the best safety slogan for the year 1950. Mr. Prince, who has been employed at Ft. Bragg since 1937, rvalked away with the prize. His slogan has been highly complimented.

ger. "The reason for this lies in the fact that they are made of tough, durable fir plywood panels which reduce labor costs encountered when separate boards must be measured, cut and finally fit into cases. In addition, plywood has strength qualities not found in solid wooden boards, unless they are of extreme and impractical thickness. Plywood can stand much more strain, tension and pressure from direct impact."

Already inspected and evaluated by top traffic men, rep-resentatives of the Security Bureau of New York and engineers of leading marine companies, Johnsen and Reyerson predict their new "PlyVan" will be a stimulant to American foreign trade.

Steamship lines, already using other, heavier and costlier types of large vans, have welcomed the "PlyYan" as an answer to the many problems encountered when carrying small, valuable cargo. The strength of the plywood containers is expected to reduce materially the numerous damage claims brought against shipping companies for damage and non-delivery, which are many times traceable to inadequate packaging.

Several of the leading lines plan to install the plywood containers for permanent stationary lockers aboard ship.

The construction of the "PlyVan" containers is fairly simple. Plywood panels-f" ot 34" thick, depending on size and cargo-are secured to 2" x 4" lraming members and X-braces. Lu,mber of 3'x 6" is used for skids and, depending upon cargo, for special interior bracing or shoritg.

After being loaded, the case door is closed, screwed shut, screws concealed and locked, if used, snapped. Very heavy straps are then placed around the container, making unauthorized entry extremely difficult.

The plywood containers can be built in all sizes and shapes to shippers' specific requirements. Their initial low cost makes them expendable, yet it is expected that they will be re-used or re-sold by the consignee at destination, for their excellent construction permits them to be used again and again.

Manufacturers of typewriters, glassware, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and electrical equipment are among those who are using and studying these modern plywood containers.

A New Treatment For Redwood

Said to enhance and retain the natural beauty of redwood, a new treatment has just been announced by the manufacturer, Linseed Oil Products Company, 359 Del Monte Street, Pasadena 3, Calif.

Known by the trade name Liquid Rarv-Hide Redwood Color-Preservative, this new product penetrates into the wood. It seals the snrface, repels the elements, and adds a uniform natural color that is practically fade-proof, according to the manufacturer.

Liquid Ra'iv-Hide Redwood Color-Preservative is the latest addition to this company's line of redwood finishes. They point out that all their specialty redwood treatments are manufactured by the well-known "Behr Process," which is an exclusive process with the firm, and all carry the name Liquid Raw-Hide. Each is for a specific job of protection and beautification, indoors or out. A mildew resistant (Aryl Mercury Napthenate) is included.

Iclerypc tA 715

Mt. Baker Plywood, Inc., Bellingham, Was,hington, a cooperative organization, is expected to start production this month. Plywood production will be about 5 million feet a month. Red cedar siding will also be produced at the rate of 40,000 feet per day.

Attention is,called to the fact that this is a new treatment {or redwood, being a penetrant, is completely without sheen, and is not to be confused with, or specified in place of Liquid Raw-Hide Redwood Finish Clear Gloss, which has long been successfully marketed by the company. Factual literature is available free of cost from Linseed Oil Products Company.

Hishway Signs

The plywood signs used by the Colorado Highway Department fall into three classifications : guide signs, temporary signs and special signs. The guide signs, which range in size from U' x 36' to 4U, x 96", are made of /+r, thick Exterior type Douglas fir plywood. Temporary or seasonal signs are made of bolh ft', and fu,, thick Exterior plywood, depending on use. The special signs, ranging from 36" x 36" to 48" x 9€', are of 3At' thick Exterior fir plywood.

After sealing the panels with putty and sanding to a smooth surface, one coat of primer white and two coats of white lead and oil paint are applied to all guide sign panels. Temporary or seasonal signs are finished with one coat of white primer paint, one coat of white lead and oil paint and one coat of traffic yellow.

This Colorcdo picture-sign is typiccl ol the use oI exierior plywood lor highwcy trqllic bulletins in thot stqte. Headlight betrms ct night light up the reflective cocting.

Ask a well-traveled motorist and likely he'll tell you the plywood highway directional signs used in Colorado are as attractive and effective as they come.

The big, easy-to-read signs have been used by that state for over 12 years. "Motorist reaction has been very favorable," explains state traffic engineer A. R. Pepper, "And our experience indicates that plywood has a great many inherent advantages for sign construction."

Colorado and the many other states that have switched to plywood as a sign material have found the prime advantage of the versatile panels to be large size which permits the cutting of signs of almost any desired size from a single panel. Add to this plywood's durability and the ease with which plywood signs can be fabricated and the answer spells economy.

Rust is no pro,blem with plywood signs and the strength of the panel material virtually precludes punctures or,chips. Finally, the smooth surface is easy to paint.

Gosslin-Hcrrding News

Paul Gaboury has been appointed sales manager of Gosslin-Harding Lumber Co., San Leandro.

Orville Bresee, salesman, and his family spent about 10 days in the Eureka area, hunting, golfing and fishing, along with the company's Eureka buyer, Milton Britt.

llenry Harding and Mrs. Harding visited the State Fair at Sacramento, following a visit to the home office.

Phil Gosslin has a great opportunity to improve his golf, n'ith N{rs. Gosslin and son Bill spending several rveeks in Colorado.

Reflective coatings of all signs conform to national standards prescribed in the Manual on lJniform Traffic Control Devices. Ordinarily, all warnings signs have full-surface reflectorization, and many guide signs have symbol reflectorization.

Reflective coating of the large 48" x 72" picture-signs, which indicates the message by arrows or other symbols as well as wording, is as follows : black camouflage reflective coating is used to indicate the route diagrams; white camouflage reflective coating is used to outline the shelf or square-shaped route markers. Under artificial light cast by the headlights of approaching cars, both the black and white reflective coating appear as a luminous silver, while the white-painted background of the sign appears as a dark gray. In daylight, the bla,ck reflective coating of the route diagram appears in its true color and affords a sharp contrast with the white background.

The wording and diagram of these picture-signs varies with the use and placement of each of the signs. The sign wording is sometimes covered with reflective coating. In the case of signs which read "Route Divided," for example, the lettering is covered with a brilliant red reflective coating. Placement of these signs may vary from 350 to 1000 feet, depending entirely upon local conditions in the vicinity of the junction.

How To Operate Wood Burning Incinerators Under the Law

Orrie Hamilton has issued a special bulletin for the Southern California Retail Lumber Association on the subject of "approved standard operating procedures for wood burning incinerators," n'hich is packed with practical directions for burnirrg u'ood refuse in accordance with the law, so as to avciid smog and other air contamination.

He quotes The California Health & Safety Code rules, forbidding emission of dense smoke from an incinerator for more than 3 minutes in any one .hour, and also irnposes strict limitations on emission of particulate matter and of gases and fumes. Any person rvho violates the state larv or a rule or regulation of the Air Pollution Control District is guilty of a misdemeanor. This includes both the orn'ner and immediate operator of the incinerator.

A basic temperature of at least 1200 degrees Fahrenheit shoulcl be maintained. Incinerator should not be used until sufficier.rt $'aste material has been accumulated to l,varrant such use, rvhich may mean burning scrap or .lvaste material sorne time after starting up the plant, or it may mean burning it only or"r alternate days. Incinerators are designed for :r given cluantity of combustibles, and, should this cluantity varv greatly, either black, u'hite, or bro\\rn smoke will result.

Generally speaking black smoke means insufficient air in the incinerator, rvhile t'hite or brorvn smoke rne:rns too much air. Too much air r.vill cool dorvn the fire below recluired temperatures. Changed conditions in the plant should be follou'ed immediately by corresponding adjustments in the incinerator. Such changes usually mean adjusting the amount of air getting into the incinerator, or putting in additional scrap r,vood to increase the temperature. Never burn enough material at one time to cause the flames to reach the screen of the incinerator. It IS possible to burn such materials as oily rags and material containing paints and lacquers providing these items are burned in very small quantities and only when extremely high temperatures exist.

Keep the incinerator in good repair at all times, plugging all leaks in the blower system, plugging leaks at the point u'here the material enters the incinerator, maintain in good order the devices for regulating the air entry, insure the close fit of the charging door, clean out accumulated ash regularly, and keep the screen at the top always clean and whole. Close watch must be kept on the incinerator to insure good operation, as incinerators are not automatic machines.

Proper attention will facilitate the use of the incinerator with a minimum of difficultv. So says Mr. Hamilton.

HcU Million Homes Under Construction

Fully half a million homes r,vere under construction across the country as National Home Week opened on Sept. 10, according to C. B. Sweet, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

"The number of new homes actually being built during the week rvill be the greatest ol all time as a result of the record-breaking number of housing starts during the spring and summer months," Mr. Sweet said.

"In larger communities, and in many smaller ones, the public rvill find a wide variety of new homes going up in every price class, with emphasis on lower-priced homes for lorv-income families.

"Despite the tightening of mortgage credit terms under the defense program, home building is expected to continue :rt a relatively high rate through the end of this year, with the result that families wanting or needing new homes will continue to find a good selection to choose from. National Horne Week is the ideal time to look around and inspecl the good values to be obtained in 1950's new homes.

T\TENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY

As reported in The California Lumber Merchant September 15,1925

The Susanville Hoo-Hoo Club held a big annual outing and picnic on August 23, and, according to the report of President George R. Gunning, it was a wonderful success.

Col. W. B. Greeley was the principal speaker at the HooHoo annual at Spokane, Washington, on September 15. Jim Allen, Snark of the lJniverse, introduced him.

Ben Ostlind, president of the Coos Veneer & Box Company, at Marshfield, Oregon, has organized a Longfellow's Club in Portland, for men over six feet tall. The club is plugging for longer hotel beds, longer bath tubs, longer berths, longer hospital beds, higher public mirrors, and more space between theatre seats, longer sheets and bed clothing.

The Red River Lumber Company is cutting both white and black oak timber on their lands near Westwood, California, and trying it out for use in their veneer plant.

The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company announces that it will immediately begin construction of a huge sawmill

plant at Longview, Washington, which will contain three sawmills and various other lumber manufacturing units.

Peter McNevin, Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, is spending two months in the East, studying the market opportunities.

The Long-Bell Lumber Company, Longview, Washington, announces that it has begun scientific reforestation efforts on about four thousand acres of land set aside especially for that purpose.

The California Door Company announces the comple: tion of its new sawmill plant at Diamond Springs, California, which K. Moore, general manag'er, believes to be one of the most modern in existence.

Announcement is made that the Red River Lumber Company, Westwood, California, is far and away the largest owner of pine timber on earth. Its one million acres of timber land holds between sixteen and twenty billion feet of virgin pine.

350 Men Constructing New \Teyerhaeuser Mill at North Bend

North Bend, Oregon-With additional cre\vs starting work on various phases of construction, Weyerhaeuser's sawmill at North Bend is beginning to take form. Approximately 350 men are employed on the 40-acre millsite'

Exterior siding and roof decking has been applied to the last of four buildings which comprise the planing mill unit. This is the longest building of the group, next to the Coos Bay-North Bend highway. Roof covering has been placed on the other units.

Brick work is completed on the walls of the dry kilns. These units are directly in front of the planing mill buildings and rvill dry tl-re lumber for planing mill surfacing.

Structural framework for the main sawmill building at the south end of the millsite has been put in place and roof decking applied. This unit will house the headrig and remanufacturing machinery rvhich will convert logs from Weyerhaeuser's N{illicoma Forest into boards and timbers. l,ogging began on this area the last of July.

E,ngineers have begun rvork on the power plant, for r'vhich foundations have been placed. This plant, deriving fuel from sau'-milling by-products, rvill furnish electrical energy and steam to run the sawmill facilities.

Industrial fencing has been installed along the highrvay edge of the millsite. Southern Pacific tracks have been relocated to parallel the plantsite.

The rnain office of the company, occupied the latter part

of May, is gradually filliirg up with personnel required to supervise the many construction and employment activities. The office site has been landscaped and planted with grass.

Arthur O. Karlen is manager of Weyerhaeuser's Coos Bay branch operation, in charge of logging and milling activities, John Gischel supervises general construction activities, assisted by O. D. McCarty. Del Hilliard is resident engineer, representing the firm's Tacoma, Washington, engineering department, which designed the mill.

Philip Hill Announces Hyster Appointments

Two recent appointments in the general sales department have been announced by Philip Hill, general sales manager {or the Hyster Company, manufacturers of industrial trucks and auxiliary tractor tools.

Harold R. Lucas, Jr., is now an assistant to the general sales manager following 12 years' experience in mer'chandisir-rg for Fred Meyer, Inc. A graduate of the University of C)regon, Mr. Lucas was also employed for two years by the Curtis Publishing Company as branch manager in Eugene, Oregon.

In charge of demonstrations of the Hyster Grid Roller, an earth compaction and black-top salvage tool designed for use r,vith track-type or rubber-tired tractors or r'vith motor graders, is IJenry Benit, assistant to Richard Stiegele. For fourteen years previously Mr. Benit was employed by the Gardner-Byrne Construction Company of Califonia and rvas instrumental in the original development of the Grid Roller by that company. He has been active in the construction field for a number of vears.

Little Ships At Dunkirk

(Author Unknown)

Long after the shadow of war is fled, And the last battle is fought, Men will remember the little ships, And the great thing they wrought;

We shall tell over with laughter and tears, The homely names they bore, They were not meant for baptism by fire, Or the grim uses of war.

Paddler, and dinghy, and sailing barge, Eagle, and queen, and belle, And humble marthas of the ports, That have no name to tell.

Let us remember them and their men, Who asked not fee pej fame, But all.they knew was a job to do, And they spat on their hands-and s3rns.

They dared the hell of the shell-swept dunes, The hell of the bomb-torn tide, They cared not a damn if they sank or swam, Or yet if they lived or died.

Home they came from that coast of death, Each with her tale of men, Stayed but to set them safe ashore, Then back to hell's mouth again.

Therefore while England's cliffs shall stand, And the Channel tides shall roll, We will remember the little shipsHow they saved an army of men.

Truth

Little Chcnge

Love making hasn't changed materially since the early centuries. According to legend, Greek damsels used to have to sit and listen to a lyre all evening, just as the girls do now.

Lecrdership

Theodore Roosevelt once wrote: "The leader for the time being, whoever he may be, is but an instrument to be used until broken and then to be cast aside; and if he id worth his salt he will care no more when he is broken than a soldier cares when he is sent where his life is forfeit in order that the victory may be won.

"fn the long fight for righteousness the watchword for all of us is spend and be spent. It is a little matter whether any ohe man fails or succeeds; but the cause shall not fail for it is the cause of mankind

"We, here in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years; and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men. If on this new continent we merely build another country of great but unjustly divided material prosperity, we shall have done nothing: and we shall do as little if we merely set the greed of envy against the greed of arrogance, and thereby destroy the material well-being of us all."

Home At Lqst

The visitor dropped into a small and unpretentious church on Sunday morning, just as the preacher was giving his text, and stood in the rear until the text was finished. The text was:

"We have left undone those things we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done."

The stranger smiled, found a seat, and sat down. "Thank the Lord," he was heard to say; "I've found my crowd at last."

Hold Not Lorre

Hold not to love. It withers in your grasp. As the silken lily droops within your clasp; The wild bird's singing rises clear and freeLlntamed, it's beauty flashes through eternity. -Eclythe Hope Genee.

Something Fitting

Wendell Holmes

When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas; that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground on which their wishes safely can be carried out."-Oliver

"I want a pair of red, open-toed shoes with low heels," said the tall blonde to the shoe salesman.

"To go,with what?" asked the salesman.

"A short office manager," said the tall blonde.

Wisdom

It is good to be merry and wise, It is good to be honest and true: 'Tis well to be off with the old love, Before you are on with the new. rflleefts.

Short Orders

An order for a bunch of shingles or lath, a closet shelf, an ironing board, or any such trifle, is often considered a nuisance in a lumber yard. However, it is in reality, a very important part of the dealer's business. The material may have been needed for some time and the ordering deferred, and the item may look a lot bigger to the purchaser than to the seller. A man rvho orders a board today may want a house tomorrow ; or his friend may; and the courtesy with which he was treated wl-ren he bought the board may be well remembered.

If his small order has been overlooked, or there has been a lack of attention or civility, it might well send him somewhere €lse when the time comes for him to buy something more important.

Indeed, the so-called "short orders" may be considered as a sort of selling by sample. And, if the same commercial parallel is perrnitted to hold good, these "sample" sales should be as nearly perfect transactions as possible. For, in fact, these short orders, or sample sales, or whatever you want to call them, are wonderful feeders for the bigger business you want.

Commercial Lumber Co.,8145 Beach Street, Los Angeles, has added a salesmen's office to accommodate five salesmen. The office is finished in knotty pine, with sound deadening material on the ceiling.

Washington-Building materials will continue in tight supply through September and October, but shortages will ease during the last two months of the year, the Commerce Department predicts.

The agency said manufacturers of materials would keep production going fairly high all year. Output will decline a little for seasonal reasons during the last two months, but not as much as it usually does. Consumption of materials by builders, including their buying for inventory, will falt off more than will materials output, the Commeice Department declared.

Production of lumber, brick, cement, gypsum board and other materials climbed to 174% of the 1939 average in June from 167/o in the previous month, according to the department.

Total lumber supplies this year, including stocks at the beginning of the year, production and net imports will reach 40 billion board feet. Lumber actually used in construction 'rvill come to about 27,2W million board feet.

Cement supplies will total about 212 million'barrels this year, about the same as consumption, the department estimated.

Brick production, plus imports, the agency forecast, will be around 5,850 million bricks, against 6 billion bricks thar will actually go into construction during 1950,

Commerce officials explained that shortages of cement, brick, gypsum board products and some other materials that have appeared thus far in 1950 haven't been due generally to a lack o{ productive ,capacity. They listed "several other factors" as causing the pinch-a higher-than-expected rate of homebuilding, strikes in some plants, and a shortage of freight cars. "Production of a number of building materials would have increased more rapidly during the early months of the year if the demand had been fully foreseen," the deoartment said.

Stcrndardbutg Predecorqted Wallboard

A Proposed Commercial Standard for Predecorated Panelboard has been circulated by the Commodity Standards Division, Office of Industry and Commerce, to manufacturers, distributors and other interested groups for their review and comment, the U. S. Department of Commerce reported today.

The purpose of this Commercial Standard is to establish definte criteria of physical requirements that should be possessed by this material and presents a basis on which performance guarantees may be made by the manufacturers for the guidance and assurance of home owners, architects or builders.

It provides minimum specifications for one grade of predecorated panelboard. It covers physical requirements and tests for strength, water absorption, linear expansion, hardness, and resistance to light, heat, humidity, acid, alkali, and staining.

A limited number of mimeographed copies of the Proposed Standard are available, and a copy may be obtained, as long as the supply lasts, from the Commodity Standards Division, Office of Industry and Commerce, IJ. S. Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D. C.

Starts Construction of New \(/arehouse

Davidson Plywood and Lumber Company, Los Angeles, California, manufacturers of Etchwood, recently started construction on a new warehouse at their present location. The new building will have 16,000 square feet of floor space.

An interesting feature of this new construction is that the concrete walls are being pre-formed on the slab floor and will be raised into place after curing. Natural lighting will be provided through skylights.

In addition to the new warehouse, another 18,000 square feet of land has been purchased for customer parking and truck loading. With this new expansion, Davidson will have 48,000 square feet of warehouse and office space and 73,W0 square feet of land.

The Davidson plant is conveniently located at 3136 E. Washington Boulevard.

Red Cedcr Shingle Unilorm Quotction Form

Distinctly unique is the latest service offered by Red Cedar Shingle Bureau of Seattle to the building materials fraternity of America. A uniform "Quotation Form," printed on mimeograph paper, the sheets 8f"xl4', is being offered free in quantities to all manufacturers, wholesalers, commission salesmen or retail lumber dealers selling Western Red Cedar Shingles.

As stated, this form is unique in that it combines on its one page blanks for individual quotations of various grades and sizes of red cedar shingles, and includes a digest of each grade and type of shingles.

"We have sensed a growing demand for a standardized pricing sheet," states W. \M. Woodbridge, manager of the Bureau, "particularly in recent years in sections of the United States where the acceptance of Red Cedar Shingles has rapidly grown. There is absolutely no intent or possibility of these forms being used in price fixing or stabilization of prices. They are ofiered free to anyone who can use them, in the belief that they will be a definite service to everyone quoting prices to the trade on our product.

"This form has been given the unanimous approval of the trustees of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, and individual manufacturers will use them in quoting to the trade. It is believed they will be particularly valuable to wholesalers and commission salesmen."

Second Growth Douglcs Fir Thinning Yields $180 Per Acre

Thinning of Douglas fir stands in the Voight Creek Cooperative Experimental Forest, some 20 miles from Puget Sound in Washington, yielded an average of $180 of forest products per acre, a-ccording to the Annual Report for 1949 of the Pacific Forest and Range Experiment Station.

The comprehensive thinning experiments are being conducted on a commercial basis in 38-year-old site III Douglas fir. Three severities of thinning are being tested. Trees cut range from six to 24 inches in diameter. Average cut per acre comes to 1087 cu. ft. Principal products are sawlogs, poles, car stakes, mine props and fence posts.

How To Apply For Slum Clearance Projects

Forms and instructions for filing of applications for temporary loans and capital grants for local slum clearance and redevelopment projects have been made available to localities participating in the Federally-aided slum clearance and urban redevelopment program, Administrator Raymond M. Foley of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, announced today. Contracts entered into will be subject to controls through which key steps in development of programs can be deferred if national defense considerations make that necessary in any locality.

The material now available covers the last step preparatory to the signing of contracts under which communities may proceed with land acquisition and other operations incident to the actual execution of slum clearance projects. Application forms and pertinent information concerning the four other operational steps in the program have been available to localities for several months. The four include reservations of capital grant funds, preliminary planning advances, final planning advances, and prior approvals of community expenditures.

The latest forms and instructions have been mailed to more than 150 participating communities which have established public agencies to operate the local programs. Also included was information covering the planning data which local public agencies must submit in support of applications for temporary loans and capital grants.

Property Owners Warned

Property owners financing essential home repairs and property improvements with FHA-Insured Title I loans were \!'arned today by FHA District Director John E. McGovern to make a careful check of the prices charged and of the claims made by salesmen before signing contracts.

Several instances have been reported recently in which the dollar amounts of loans insured under Title I for repairs and improvements have been seriously out of proportion to the work done, Mr. McGovern said. In other cases reported, the abuses involved high pressure selling methods, such as unfounded claims about the virtues of the product, as well as inferences that because the FHA insured the loan, the Federal Governlnent guaranteed the product, materials and rvorkmanship. This is contrary to the circumstances as the Federal Housing Administration specifically points out that neither the lending institution nor the FHA guarantee the materials or rvorkmanship or inspect the rvork performed. This is the sole resoonsibilitv of the home orvner.

FROM THE RUSSIAN CONFESSIONAI,

By SIR ALAN P. HERBERT In London "Punch"

UDGES of the People's Court, Do not forgive me.

I confess

My grievous aberrations, I kneel, I grovel, I crawl about C)n all fours.

In my commodious cell For two years

I have been well-treated. I have had the best of everything. Oysters

(When in season) Were brought to me daily

From the Bay of Lenin. Heartening extracts

From the speeches Of Joseph Stalin, The Wise, the Good, Who discovered The Laws of Gravity, Were played to me

On the gramophone. No man ill-used me. No drug was administered. N{y conscience, The eyes of my comrades, The teachings of Stalin, Have illuminated The dark abysses Of my disgusting soul. Is it not enough ?

I have been guilty Of criminal self-will And bourgeois opinionism.

TOLD Comrade Ratovsky

That I was surprised to hear That Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin Had split the first atom With his orvn hands, Well knowing

That this was a Party decision.

I questioned the assertion Of Comrade Lavinski

That Soviet submarines Are able to fly.

It is perfectly true

That on March 17, 1946, I permitted myself In a Soviet tram

To speak to the American Consul, Well knowing of his conspiracy

with Bartok, Batsky, Eisenbaum And other Imperialist Wolves of the West To disequilibrize

The intergrationary purpose Of the Soviet man In Oblovovosk. '

Further proofs

Of my diversionary trends And beastly ratiocinationalism Are to be forrnd

In my letter

To the woman Smith Of England, Which I wrote In Esperanto, As I pretended, For practice in that language, But, in truth, With the childish hope Of hiding from justice My animal opinions And sub-human infidelity.

r c\T

l\ O\\-. Judges of the People, I have but one complaint (Though even this It is not for me to utter), That my own counsel, Comrade Obolsky, Has presented My obscene divagations In a light less harsh Than they deserve. I have a right To the extreme penalty. I should demand A death of boiling oil But that, purged and refreshed By these proceedings, I still hope humbly

To serve more faithfully The causes I have undermined With intellectual tunneling And dynamitical distrust. So I suggest That I be cut up in pieces And sewn together again, That then, a new man I may continue the glorious struggle For the Soviet lJnion, For Peace and Brotherhood."

The back of the sign is coated with a dark green lead and oil paint. In order to keep the colors bright, the board is repainted as many as three times a year. When new copy is to be used, the plywood scenic panel is painted with a coat of white paint, followed by the new advertising message in full color.

The advertising manager of the bank reports that the spectacular landscape bulletin has created much favorable comment, not only from local residents, but from visitors passing through the city.

Squcre Redwood Lcgs Desircble

The August issue of "Redu'ood Log," a publication issued by the employees of The Hammond Lumber Comissued by the employees of the Hammond Lumber Comnralr, camp foreman for Hammond at their Cummings Creek Camp, standing on a square Redwood log. The log is almost as square at the butt as though it had been sawn that u'ay on a carriage, and was cut from the Van Duzen Tree Farm of the company.

Mr. Freeman is quoted as saying he hopes the seeds from this scluare tree will reproduce other square trees, and thus make for easier sawing at the mill.

"In order to sell 'em," an old advertising maxim states, "You've gotta tell 'em l" And in today's highly competitive business rvorld that telling has to be done in both a dramatic and interesting manner.

A good example of outdoor advertising that fills the trill on both scores is the striking plyr,vood outdoor board of the National Bank of \\rashington, located at a busy highway intersection in Tacoma, Wash. The board is placed by Foster & Kleiser, Tacoma.

Strictly institutional advertising, the National Bank of Washington board relies on eye appeal, afforded by cleverly designed plyn'ood lettering and backgrounnd, to catch the interest of passing motorists and pedestrians.

The large scenic panel of this striking sign is of Exterior type fir plyrvood as is the huge cut-out lettering. The striking step arrangement of the background behind and beneath the lettering is also built of Exterior plywood.

The scenic panel consists ol 3f" thick Exterior plyrvood, with joints between sheets of plywood closely butted and backed. The name of the bank is spelled out beneath the scenic panel in huge-cut-out plywood box letters of bright blue r,vhich stand out vividly against the white-painted plywood background.

The frame of the all-plywood scenic panel is in blonde wood, while the snow-covered mountain, blue sky and green trees and multi-colored flowers are painted in natural colors.

Prior to erection, the plywood panels are dipped in a solution of linseed oil and thinner. A primer coat of a special gray sealer paint developed by Foster and Kleiser is applied once the sign is erected, followed by several coats of

LUMBER MERCHANT thinks Mr. Freeman has hit on a mighty practical thought there, and suggests that our practical foresters develop ways and means for grorving all logs square, rather than round. Think hon' much more money square logs would sell for, than the ordinary round tvpe ! Furthermore, why not grow them uniform from top to bottom without a taper. Tapering logs ruin plenty of long timber. The idea has endless possibilities.)

C. J. Wcrren Opens Lumber Sales Ollice

C. J. Warren, formerly president of Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., at McNary and Flagstafr, Arizona, has opened a wholesale lumber and commission sales ofifice in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The new firm is known as C. J. Warren Lumber Company.

Warren left Southwest Mills last spring after having served in various executive capacities for more than 15 years.

Kenneth Gutman, formerly manager of the Southwest sawmills at Flagstaff and McNary, is associated with Warren in the new enterprise.

Supply ol Cement Fcr Short otr Demcrnd

Cement continues to be one of the scarcest of vital building materials, and that statement covers the entire country. The building boom just asks for more cement than is available, and the result in some parts of the country is a very serious gray market. The Wall Street Journal reports that in Florida, for example, the price being paid for cement on the gray market is often three times the mill price.

The U. S. Commerce Department estimates this year's national production of cement at 212 million barrels, r,vhich is being gobbled up at top speed. It is estimated that the present unfilled demand is for anywhere from 2 to 10 million barrels. Yet production is 30 million barrels higher tlran it was at the peak of the last war, 1942, and much of the demand at that time was from the Government. Today the demand is chiefly domestic.

'Douglas Fir, A Brief Technicat Essay

Douglas Fir of the Western Pine region, structural member of the Associated Woods family, is found in nearly every sector of the vast, 12-state area. Total Douglas Fir sau'timber stand in the region is estimated at 101.5 billion board feet. Annual iumber production averages approximately one billion feet, greatest of any of the Associated Species.

In the Pine region, Douglas Fir trees are found at elevations of 1500 to 7000 feet and grolv to maximum diameters of seven feet arrd heights of 200 feet. They grow only infrequently in pure stands; generally they are intermingled with all three Western Pine sDecies and the six other Associated Woods.

The u'ood of Douglas Fir is straight-grained, moderatelv l-reavy and normally dense. Although classed as resinous, the amount of resin is limited. The saprn'ood ring is almost pure white and very narrow. Heartrvood is orange-red and the color contrast between springrvood and summerwood is quite distinct.

In lumber form, Douglas Fir weighs 31 pounds per cubic foot and has a specific gravity of .44 at 12 per cent moisture content. Pound for pound, Douglas Fir is one of the strongest of the softlvoods. Its load-bearing capacity equals many mild steels and, of course, it is considerably lighter in 'iveight, fitting it for many structural purposes in heavy construction.

A moderately heavy rvood, Douglas Fir will shrink more in drying than most \\roods of lighter weight. Volumetric shrinkage rvhen dried from a green state to 12-15 per .cent moisture content is 5.4 per cent, compared to the softwood range of 3.4-6.6 per cent.

Douglas Fir ranks approximately midrvay among all commercial softwoods in nail-holding ability. Safe resistance to rvithdrawal of eight-penny nails driven perpendicular to the grain into seasoned stock is 28 pounds per lineal

Los Angeles qnd Fresno Counties Top Agricultural Producers

Earlier in this year the California State Department of Agriculture credits Fresno County, California, r,vith $172,614,000 in cash farm income for last year.

Now Roy M. Hagen, Chairman of the Agricultural Comrnittee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, has released figures shorving that Los Angeles Countv cash farm income for last year totalled $177,104,000. He further states that despite the inroads of residential and industrial development 'ivhich has taken over great areas of former agricultural and orchard lands, this county has produced more cash farm income than any other county in the entire nation, ever since 1910.

Further figures released by Mr. Hagen show that farmers in 12 Southern California counties received a total cash farm income last year ol $977,117,000, an amount equalled by only seven entire states in the union.

inch; resistance in other softwoods ranges from 17 to 39 pounds.

The rvood works steadily with machine tools and, if tools are in good condition, easily by hand. For a successful, lasting paint finish on Douglas Fir, it should have a moisture content from l2 to 15 per cent, or as close to the prevailing humidity as possible. Care should be exercised in selection of a priming coat. White lead or aluminum paint is recommended.

Douglas Fir sapwood can be treated with preservatives very readily. Heartr,l'ood, due to its density, does not easily absorb preservatives but depth of penetration secured is suflicient fo most practical purposes.

Douglas Fir of the Western Pine region has an exceptionally long use life, even under conditions favoring decay; heartrvood is rated in the upper brackets by the Forest Products Laboratory for durability under decay-fostering conditions. In glue-ability it is rated in Group 2, next to the top.

Combining raw strength with delightful grain configuration, Douglas Fir can be used for the heaviest of structural rvork to fine finish purposes and for the many utility uses in betrveen. But it's in the heavy construction field that it stands supreme. For warehouse and factory trussed roo{s, for bridges and trestles, for beams, posts, studs, stringers, joists, rafters and decking and for the many miscellaneous railroad uses, Douglas Fir of the Western Pine region is one of the nation's top wood spe.cies.

For residential construction, Douglas Fir is applied as framing, sheathing, siding and for interior trim, cabinetwork and paneling. It is a popular wood for farm use where toughness and strength are primary requirements. The same properties lead to widespread utilization for industrial purposes and crating.

From \\restern Pine region mills, Douglas Fir is generally available in mixed cars together with an assortment of the Western Pines and other Associated Woods to furnish dealers rvith rvell-rounded inventories of woods for every PurPose.

Recent great fires destroyed about 20,@0 acres of pine timber in the South of France. Other fires of smaller size are reported from other districts of France.

Two large sawmills in Sweden that were destroyed by fire during 1949, are being rebuilt and will be in operation by early winter. Both new plants are up-to-date. One is Bure A/B at Burea, and the other is the Sandvik mill in the Umea district.

Cement-Steel Homes Quick

According to press reports in Los Angeles, A. Ludlow Kramer is building some model "Conair" homes in the San Fernando Valley. The report says that this process consists of pneumatically projecting cement against steel forms, and thus constructing luxurious streamlined houses in twelve hours. This, it is said, will revolutionize modern small home construction. It is said that the "conair" project is financed by the wealthy Gerry Estates, of New York.

FTIA Stctistics For 1949 Homes

The fact that one of every three neu'homes in the United States is financed u'ith an FHA-insured mortgage recorded and analyzed in Washington provides a unique source of information about mortgage loans, the borrowers, and the houses which characterize today's home building activity, according to the Annual Ileport of the Federal Housing Administration for 1949. Reports on thousands of individual cases received in Washington from every State and Territory of the United States are sllmmarized and analyzed during the year to provide facts rvhich help in guiding national home financing policy. They comprise what is perhaps the largest single supply of uniformly gathered statistical data about current financing operations. Analyzed, they also provide builders, mortgage lenders, home buyers, and others concel'ned rvith this phase of our economy rvith figures on home building trends rvhich serve as a factual basis for comparison-a yardstick for the industry, so to speak.

Short Facts About Lumber

Horses replaced oxen in logging following the depression of 1857, when thousands of oxen were slaughtered and eaten. Except for one brief period in the West, oxen never again figured prominently in logging.

If figuring on buying lumber it should be remembered that short lengths and random length lumber is more available and therefore cheaper. If construction design calls for short pieces such as 8 and 10-foot studding, order these lengths instead of 16 and 2}-foot. Order random lengths for such items as plates and form boards. Random lengths in multiples of 4-foot are advised for rustic siding, roof boards and subflooring.
