This is a view of the Rigdon Road, main artery of the extensive system constructed by Pope & Talbot in the Oakridge area.
Down this road come the logs which supply our mill at Oakridge. It is the first link between the forests and the many enthusiastic customers of Oakridge lumber throughout the country.
But the Rigdon Road carries more than logs. It is open, the year around, to all comers-
campers, tourists, fishermen, and picnickers. The road penetrates one of the most beautiful parts of the Northwest, and the joint efforts of Pope .\ Talbot and the Forest Service have kept the right-of-way unspoiled.
The Rigdon Road opens an area of great natural beautl' and recreational value. Pope & Talbot hope that increasing use will be made of it from year to year.

"I feel quite sure that there will be no permanent peace in this world by any other method than by shifting in the arena of the human heart from the desire to fight, to the desire for neighborliness. The world has not the will for peace at tJre present hour, and until the world is ready for peace, America had better keep her 6"1"nsss."-Dr. Charles Darden.
'F,F*
The statement that "the world has not the will for peace," as quoted above, needs no evidence or further testimony or proof than what we hear and read every day. It's a tough break the old world is getting. Because the world HAS the will for peace; that is, all the world except Soviet Russia. Yet, because of this one power, this one nation, war and the threat of more war continues to cover the earth as with a blanket of fear. As the slang saying has it-"It just ain't right." Looks like there should be a majority rule governing and binding the acts of nations. If there were, there would be one overwhelming vote in favor of peace, and Russia would retire to the far rear in the school of nations.
* * *
The best economic and financial minds in the United States have furrowed brows trying to figure how we, in the natural course of events, will be able to ride safely back from the inflation of war and defense efforts, to that lower level of things that must inevitably come some day. We can't keep on building for defense forever, and when we stop, there will be large readjustments in order. More than a year ago when that Russian big-shot, Gromyko, rose in the United Nations to suggest that an armistice could easily be arrived at in Korea and the war there terminated, many economic thinkers jumped to the conclusion that the Kremlin was getting ready to shock our economy by bringing about actual peace, and terminating much of our defense effort'
ft seemed like a fair guess at the time, but proved to be an abortive one. The boys in the Kremlin had other ideas, al1 of them of a character aimed to hurt the United States, when the wily Ruskie made that speech suggesting an armistice. We are able to guess today some of the things they had in mind. We know that there was one thing they did NOT have in mind, and that was any possibility of peace in Korea. For peace over there seems as remote as when Gromyko made his armistice speech. At that time he roused a tidal wave of hope and enthusiasm in this nation which could see the war ending and our boys in prison camps coming back to their loved ones. Deliberate torture
is what the Russians were handing us in that peace suggestion. Probably never in the history of warfare had a more cruel deed been done, or a more two-faced speech made. There were many things in Russia's mind right then, but peace ryas not one of them.
You can't help wondering now how we credited Gromyko with good intentions when he made that armistice speech. 'We knew then as we know now that we had never caught a Russian statesman telling the truth about anything. But so anxious were we to get the war and the bloodshed over, and get our boys home, that we accepted his suggestion at complete face value. We could almost see the flags of peace waving, and the marching feet of our returning soldiers, and war prisoners. What a let doivn the aftermath has been'
FIow war has changed. During the Peninsular War Sir Charles Napier, a British soldier and military expert of international fame, declared that he knew but one man capable of commanding an army of one hundred thousand men, and that man, he thought, was Lord Wellington. During the two World Wars through which we have pissed, one hundred thousand men would be little more than a stop-gap in the line, and generais in plenty have commanded many times the number of soldiers that Napier thought possible.
Thomas Dreier hands ;" ;; for thought in a recent issue of his maga"ine "The Vagabond," when he says: "Before there can be world peace, the command to 'Feed the Flungry'must be obeyed. Today, two-thirds of the world's population live in a permanent state of hunger. We must face the terrible fact that one billion five hundred millton men, women, and children will go to bed tonight with hunger gnawing at their stomachs. We must also accept another fact: That tomorrow there will be 62,000 additional mouths to feed. (dt that rate the world's populatron grows.) Hungry people are never at peace. They cannot know happiness. They have no inclination to think as develbpers. They are concerned only with survival. Their thoughts seldom range beyond themselves and their immediate families. Probably the leaders of the world face nc more important task than that of producing and distritruting food that w'll end hunger."
Seems like the name of Will Rogers has been in the papers an unusual lot of late. Quoting him will probably continue as long as this na-tion endures. Newspapers and magazines seem never to tire in singing the praises of that simple man

Cobb said, question of immortality of man, that other people ended with the grave, it impossible to even imagine such a thing about Will . Said Cobb: "It wouldn't be right to give Will to just one world that kindliness and and cheat some other world out of fun, all that sweetness and humil and precious wit." and ripe philosophy

It was said by someone discussing the wonderful per_ sonality of Will Rogers: ,,If you hope to be exceptionally impressive and worth while, you must strive to be excessively natural. No one ever acquired fame by affectation. All true greatness is earmarked by simplicity. you must sit by the fireside of the heart. Above the clouds it is too cold. Be simple in action and in speech. Too much polish suggests insincerity.', Nobody ever doubted the sincerity of Will Rogers. * ,< {(
Will Rogers was a humorist in the truest sense of the word. He took men, and their words, and their works, and he distorted them in fun-loving fashion until they made men laugh. He had the amazing ability to make men laugh at themselves. Wit never accomplishes that; only kindly humor. Only humor can make a man really enjoy a joke on himself. Simple things were his joy and delight. His fun and humor had simplicity and terseness as their chief appeal. Ffe murdered the king's English, and people who would have turned up their noses at anyone else on this earth who "ain'ted" them as he did, laughed with him and at him until their sides a*ched with merriment.
It is said that in the plant where that fying genius Igor Sikorsky builds helicopters, there is a sign that reads:

Napoleon once said to a friend: "Fontanee, do you know what I wonder at most in the world? The impotence of force to organize anything. There are only two powers in the world, -the sabre and the mind, and in the end the sabre is always beaten by the mind."

Many years ago a legislator in Georgia made a most remarkable speech on the subject of books. A measure was before the house to allow counties, school districts, or municipalities to establish and maintain public libraries. The measure was defeated, largely because a legislator made a powerful speech against it. He said that there are only three books in the world-the Bible, the hymn book, and the almanac. "Those three are enough for anyone," said the speaker. "Read the Bible. It teaches you how to act. Read the hymn book. It contains the finest poetry ever written. Read the almanac. It shows you how to figure what the weather will be. There isn't another book that is necessary for anyone to read, and therefore I am opposed to all libraries." The recorded vote was 57 lor and 63 against the measure,
Line Harger, who *rn"".u.ir*itru trrings for .,The vagabond," doesn't agree with the old Georgia legislator by a, considerable margin. fnstead he credits much of what he knows to certain books. He says he learned about the Mississippi River from Mark Twain. He learned about the West from Bret Harte. He learned about Russia from Tolstoy. He learned about Malaya from Joseph Conrad; about Patagonia from W. H. Hudson; about India from Kipling; and these things, because of this way of learning, he says he does not forget.

Little Bobby's father was a doctor, and Bobby liked nothing better in the world than to play doctor when his father was resting at home. He would take his father's doctor case in one hand, his overcoat over his arm, and go down the street a few yards to visit some imaginary patient.
He started this stunt one cold winter day, and forgot to close the door after him.

Building Ban To Be Relaxed
Washington, Aug. 26.-The government today ordered a relaxation of construction controls early next year when top officials believe raw material supplies will permit a speed-up in military production without cutting into civilian output.
The National Production Authority said a two-year-old ban will be revoked sometime between January and April 1, 1953. on the construction of. 47 types of recreational amusemeni and entertainment projects, including race tracks, swimming pools and night clubs.
At the same time, NPA announced it will substantially increase the amount of steel that builders are permitted to use in putting up office buildings, store, apartment houses, schools,

This situation prompted a statement from Defense Production Administration Henry Fowler that the nation could revamp its armament program and reach a peak at an earlier date than expected without straining the civilian economy.
Fowler said he is not proposing a production speed-up, but will report the improved materials supply situation to mobilization authorities soon.

"One of the most profitable items in our display room" ii the wav B. L. Vaughan, owner, Vaughan Pacific Avenue Lumber Co., Tacoma. Wash.. describes the new plywood Handy Panels.
Vaughan reporis the new small-size plywood paneli and self-service display rack have upped plywood sales by 6vei I0 per cent -and^have also help'ed increase sales of paint, hardware and other items to home craftsmen and amateur builders.
"To take advantage of impulse buving'," Vaughan exp-lains, "the disolav is iight insi"de the door where customer's can "see it. It really works, too. Many people who had nojdea of buying morl than a few nails see the diiplav and wind up buyingplywood. It's eaiy sblling, too; cuslomers wait on themselves. An-d it saves us much of the time we used to spend,cutting,large plywood sheets for sDecral orders.

Whether it be for a new home or a ho-e-owoer remodeling project, built-ins are a month-in, month-out market for plywoodl
It's a wlume market, too. Consider the shelfdoor wardrobe shown above. The bill of materials calls for over 200 square feet of plywood-plus paint, hardware and lumber. And that's Just one plywood built-in. Storage wall, cabinet or built-in dresser, plywood is first choice for any built-in. Ilere,s why:
All told, over 2,500 dealers have already tied into the new Handy Panel program. In addition to the rack and panels, the complete promotion package includes window banners, ad mats, folders and plans. Dealers can obtain details on the rack and panels from their reqular plvwood sunpliers o r Douglas FIr Plyiv6od Associition, Tacoma,-Wash.

Ihis fs An Unusual Eleclion Yegr dn Ed,oral
Presidential election year was for many decades considered a sort of hoodoo year for business. Politics always seemed to disturb the normal operations of business, and so it was that businessmen simply took it for grarnted that election year would be one to look forward to with apprehension, and to handle with care.
This rule has not proved historical during the last two el'ection year would.be one to look forward to with apprehen- in general riding a high wave of action. With less than four more months to go, there is little likelihood that 1952 will know any dark months.
From the business viewpoint, this Presidential election presents a far different aspect from that of the last four election years. In 1936, in 1940, and in 1944, the voters of the nation were sharply divided on the question of Mr. Roosevelt's New Deal. Then in 1948, Mr. Truman, advocate of the New Deal and creator of his own Fair Deal, found the voters divided in about that same fashion. Had Mr. Truman sought the Presidency this year and won the nOmination on the Democratic ticket, we would have witnessed another such battle as the previous four. His withdrawal changed the whole face of the situation.
The two big political parties have named as their leaders two men, both of whom enjoy the respect and admiration of most Americans, regardl'ess of party. Both are gentlemen of distinction, of ability, and of high character. Regardless of the words that may be spoken in the heat of partisan politics, thev are both the highest type of American manhood; both men you would be proud to know.
And so this year Mr.. Businessman must approach the Presidential election with many interesting things to consider. To the voter who "votes her straight" regardless of personalities, this does not apply. But the voter who realizes how serious are world conditions, how difficutt the part the United States must play in the years immediately
tumbermen Rescued
Nothing ever felt better to Dick Schiller, lumber buyer for Hammond Lumber Co., Los Angeles, than to be hit squarely in the face with a life preserver jacket. He and seven other men had been fighting for 40 minutes to keep afloat in the cold Pacific ofi Coos Bay after their 29-foot fishing boat had been capsized at 11 :2O a.m., Saturday, August 23 by a gigantic swell 1,500 yards outside the Coos Bay south jetty. Rescue of all eight men was made by other fishing craft in the vicinity. The survivors, most of whom suffered lacerations and bruises, were given first aid, hot coffee and other stimulants for shock and chill.
Schiller and four others were supported in the water by a piece of 'A" plywood only 2, by 4 in size which had been torn from the wrecked craft by the force of the wave. The boat was a total loss.
- Others involved in the accident were D. H. (Buzz) Miller, Prentis Carpenter, Cyril Lemanski and Emmett C.
ahead, and what must be the caliber of the man who tries to lead this nation in such trying times, has the opportunitF and the obligation to do a great deal of constructive and patriotic thinking. Tire next President of the United States may have assigned to him the'heaviest job in all our history. He muSt be well chosen.
So the great General and the gifted and successful Governor present the choice that Mr. Businessman must make. The General will be charged with being a novice in politics. The Governor will have heaped upon him the errors his party has made in two decades in office. Plenty of other charges will be made, but those will be the main ones.
' As this is written the political verbal rocks are flying. The need for a change is urged by the General's forces. But the Governor uiges the voters to count their money and see if they really want a change. Both sides go into details. Waste, inefficiencn corruption, etc., are charged on one side; success in both the domestic and foreign fields is claimed by the other. Needless to say, taxes is one of the most used political words. They are too high, says the General. They can't be lowered and do the defense job, says the Governor.
Box cars could be filled, and will be filled, with the printed arguments pro and con in this Presidential election. The airways stagger with the load of spoken argument. And so it will be until election day. And Mr. Brrsinessman reads and listens, seeking to decide the one vital question, name$r, which man and which party offers the strongest, wisest leadership in this tragic era? For this is a most extraordinary election, one on which the fate of this nation may well depend.
Fate may be saying to Mr. Businessman, using the words of the Bard of Avon: "Awake your senses that you may the better judge."
Schaaf, all of Cape Argo Lumber Co. at Empire; Thomas Miller of Oliver J. Olson S.S. Co.; Charles Spears of Tidewater Lumber Co. and Roy Self, operator of the boat.
A similar accident off Newport, Oregon the same day took the life of one lnan, injured another and a third man is missing. The Coast Guard attributed the 4O-foot swells to a combination of inshore winds and outflowing tide.

Terrible Twenty Golf Tournament (As Reported to H. M. Alling)
The 315th Terrible Twenty tournament rvas held at Virginia Country Club, Tuesday, August 19, 1952, with Burt Galleher acting as host. Twenty-eight members and two guests enjoyed a delightful afternoon of golf and an equally good dinner. Scores were low and many handicaps are reduced. Bob Falconer (17) was two over par on the back and came in with 81 gross, 64 net, winning low net. This is the lowest score for Falconer in nine years of our records. Walt Disney found some of his natural rhythm and had an 80-15-65 to win second place. Cecil Dees beat Herb Bowles in the tie for last month's tournament
Results of the match play are shown and the matches will continue next month at Bel Air, date to be anriounced. Bill Groshan won the Terrible Twenty golf shirt with his 6 on the blind hole par 3. Incidentally, Bill had two (across the board) tickets on Falconer and turned his profit over to the community good-champagne at dinner and the wettest gin rummy game I ever swam thru (or tried to).

OPS Grants Price Relief on lmported Lumber, Logs, Wood Products
(CPR 165 - Lumber, Loss and
Washington, D. C., August Z-OPS today provided price relief from higher purchase costs for importers of lumber, logs and allied wood products. Major source of supply is Canada, accounting for 90 per cent of lumber imports and 65 per cent of log imports
Today's Ceiling Price Regulation 165, efiective August 26, 1952, provides methods for use by importers in figuring average markups above landed costs during the base period, January 1 through June 30, 1950. l\{arkups may be figured on a product line basis (lumber, logs, millwork, or plywood) or on an item basis (board, dimension, planks, or timbers; a species of logs; items of millwork, such as doors or window sash) in accordance with each seller's customary base period practice. As figured, the markups are applied to current landed costs to obtain ceiling prices.
Today's action provides (1) compliance with the Herlong amendment to the Defense Production Act and (2) a single regulation under which importers of logs, lumber and allied wood products may establish ceilings, OPS said. The }Ierlong amendment requires that all price regulations permit resellers, including importers, their customary (preKorean) margins.
CPR 165 supersedes the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR3, for sales of imported lumber and logs and the imports regulation, Ceiling Price Regulation 31, for sales of such wood products as veneer, plywood and millwork. The GCPR froze imported lumber and log prices generally at the highest pri.ces charged between December 19, 1950, and January 25,1951. Although CPR 31 provided base period dollars-and-cents markups over landed costs of veneer, plywood and millwork. it did not allow importers of lumber and logs their customary percentage margins.
Effect of today's regulation is to provide much greater flexibility than was possible under either the provisions of the GCPR or CPR 31 for importers of lumber, logs and wood products, QPS said. Immediate price effect will be
Allied \Uood Products - lmports)
e slight increase over current ceilings. However, the agency does not believe price rises will be significant because the majority of imported lumber items are a supplement to domestic production and prices must be competitive with those of domestic producers.
DETAILS OF. THE REGULATION
Effective August 26, 1952.
Supersedes the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR) and the imports regulation, CPR 31, for the products covered.
Products Covered
These are listed in Appendix A of the regulation in accordance with the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, August 1, 1950, publication, "statistical Classification of Commodities Imported into the United States.,'
Examples of products included in the numbered classifications listed in Appendix A are:
All imported logs such as birch and with the exception of mahogany.
Lumber-Douglas fir, white pine, birch, teak and Parara pine.
Millwork such as doors.
Plywood.
Raw cork.
Wooden boxes used, for example, to package fruits.
Sales Covered
A11 sales of the imported cornmodities in the 48 States z,nd the District of Columbia are covered by this regulation. However, the regulation generally does not affect performi:nce of written contracts entered into before the effffective date of the regulation, nor apply to sales of commodities for transshipment abroad.
Base Period

erally representative of lumber importing operations, reflecting customary mergins for resellers in accordance with the Herlong amendment to the Defense Production Act.
lfowever, the calendar year 1949 is provided for importers who made no sales during the base period or deliveries under contracts to sell during the six-month base period. Use of calendar year 1949 also complies with Herlong amendment requirements.
Pricing Method
An importer's base period percentage markup may be figured on an item basis or on a product line basis depending upon each seller's customary base period practice. The same principle applies to both types of calculations.
Steps in figuring the base period percentage markup on an item basis are:
(1) Add up the total dollar value of all sales made during the base period, and of all deliveries under contracts to sell an item made during the base period, to the same class of buyer.
(2) Determine the total dollar value of sales or deliveries under contracts to sell that represent not less than the last 25 per cent of the total dollar value of item (1).
(3) Subtract total landed costs incurred in importing the products covered bV Q) from the total dollar value of sales, as determined under (2). The result is the base period dollars-and-cents markup.
(4) To figure the hase period percentage markup, divide the dollars-and-cents markup by the applicable landed costs ior the item.
Recalculation of ceilings is required where landed costs ere decreased. Refiguring is optional where landed costs increase. llor,r'ever, the regulation provides an alternative method for computing ceilings for items in inventory on the basis of average landed costs.
Placing New Ceilings in Effect
To make sales on the basis of percentage markups (1) on product lines or items handled in the base period and (2) sold to the same class of buyers as during the base peiod, no filing with OPS or waiting period is required under this r-egulation.
Applications to OPS, Forest Products Division, Washington 25, D. C., are required to handle pricing for nerv sellers and exceptional pricing situations for importers. The regulation provides for these special situations. For such applications, approval is automatic 20 days after receipt of an application by OPS or 15 days after receipt of additional information requested by OPS. These actions are subject to nonretroactive disapproval or adjustment at a later date. Definitions
An II\{PORTER, rvithin the meaning of this regulation, is a person who imports from a foreign countrv a product r:overed by the regulation and first sells the product after irirportation without materially altering its form. Not considered an importer :,ubject to this regulation is an agent of a foreign seller who does not take title to a product that is imported and who is paid on a commission basis.
LANDED COST is the foreign invoice cost plus costs of importation. These costs include, but are not limited to, tirose for kiln drying, milling in transit, yard storage, sticking, stacking, inspecting, tallying, unloading and loading into carrier.

Scn Diego Home Building Increqses in First Six Months
San Diego, Aug. 9-During the first six months of 7952 San Diego residential construction increased 27.7/o. This gain was reported by the City Planning Department in its semiannual review of trends in building.
In view of the fact that homebuilding construction during 1951 set an all-time record, the current upward trend was regarded by the department as particularly significant. This vear's 4526 units iin comparison with the 1951 record of 3543 units for the same period indicated an advance of 983. The report noted that "increased general activity in all types of residential building marked the second quarter of 1952, although the quarterly total ol 2f39 dwelling units fell belorn, the 2487 units recorded in the first three months.
It was explained that the first quarter total included
has been made of interior finishing materials. The room itself displays all types of materials so that customers can see just what the product they buy will look like when in actual use.
The remodeling has been done to allo.iv for expansion in services and building materials offered. Haywards in Corona is now carrying for the first time tools. power tools, garden equipment and a wider range in electrical and plumbing supplies.
The exterior of the building has been attractively alterecl and rnodernized and the entrance moved to the corner. A large plate glass window extends across the front on Main Street.
895 units in a single project-the Wherry Act housiing for the Navy on Kearney Mesa.
Discounting the effect of this single project, multiple unit construction undertaken rose the last three months to a tota-l of 1061, compared with 844 multiples in the first quarter, and single-family house numbered 979 in the second quarter compared to 779 in the first.

Sisalkraft Celebrates 25th Anniversary
In celebrating its 25th anniversary during August, The Sisalkraft Co. in Chicago announced that constant product research is resulting in new and broadened markets for Sisalkraft dealers. This pioneering of new uses for reenforced waterproof papers is opening up ever expanding sales opportunities for lumber dealers in the building and farm industries. Sisalkraft Snow Fence, for example, is soon to be promoted for use by highway departments, railroads, and farmers.
Starting with the idea 25 years ago to make a better, stronger paper for building, agricultural and industrial uses, Sisalkraft has enjoyed a steadl', healthy rise to the number one spot in the manufacturing and selling of reenforced papers. Today, it is used in every country in the world.
Sisalkraft is sold exclusively through lumber dealers whose loyal support through the years has been an im-
portant factor in Sisalkraft success, according to the Company.
Dealers are familiar with the original product, Sisalkraft. Later, Copper Armored Sisalkraft was developed for flashing uses in construction, and then Sisalation, a reflective insulation and vapor barrier, was added to the line. Special papers for industrial wrapping are also made for many industries such as furniture, steel, textile, etc.
Sisalkraft is made up in Attleboro, Massachusetts, by The American Reenforced Paper Co., the manufacturing division of The Sisalkraft Co. Recently a new plant in Cary, Illinois, started in production, and an additional plant in Tracy, California, will soon be built to facilitate distribution on the West Coast. In addition to Chicago, branch offices are maintained in New York City and San Francisco. Sisalkraft products are also manufactured and sold in both England and Australia.
Johns-Manville Invades Africa
Johns-I\{anville, which operates two asbestos mines in Canada, one of them the world's largest, announced plans today for the immediate development in Africa of a third asbestos mine.
The new asbestos ore properties are located at Mashaba in the Victoria District of Southern Rhodesia, about 200 miles south of Salisbury and 120 miles east of Bulawayo.
The project is part of Johns-Manville's long range program to maintain adequate supplies of asbestos ore for many years to come, according to A. R. Fisher, president. Johns-Manville is a nationally known manufacturer of building materials, insulations and allied industrial products.

L,unher Induslry lfree]s AII Delense ltleeds an Editoriar
When the defense program now in higil gear was first announced a couple of years back, the lumber industry from coast to coast and North to South, promptly girded up its loins and prepared for emergencies. Whatever in its line was needed for the big delense program, the industry resolved to produce, prepare, and supply. It is probable that the lumbermen were inclined at first to look for more pressing and vital demands than have actually developed, and the emergency, so far as lumber is concerned, has not been anything like as acute as many expected, so the job of supplying the defense efrort in all its ramifications, has been handled by the industry with unexpected ease.
Everything the various departments of government have asked for has been promptly supplied, without crippling in the least the domestic building program. It can be truthfully said that so far there has been a plentiful supply of lumber for all allowable building purposes. With only some
mild restrictions, home building has gone right albng in high tide, and the effort to house the nation has not been materially handicapped by the great defense movement in which we have been engaged.
Few would have helieved twenty years ago that the lumber industry of today would still be able to furnish so tremendous a supply of boards and planks for every purpose including a great defense program. Yet it has been done, and had the government caltred for an even much greater amount of building materials, that would have been forthcoming, also.
It looks safe to say now that when all restrictions of every sort have been lifted from the building industry, there will be found a plentiful supply of lumber available for every need.
This is a very dependable industry.

Mr. Frampton said tree farming is a "sound business venture." Four full-time foresters.manage The Baker Wood Preserving Company Tree Farm.
"It has nolv become economically sound to grow trees on land suited for them," declared John B. Veach, keynote speaker.

A New Tongue and Groove Hardboard Panel
Forest Grove, Ore., Aug. 14, 1952.-An easy to apply lGinch.by 8-foot tongue and groove hardboard panel, known as Forest Tee-N-Gee Panel, has been recently airnounced to the trade by Forest Fiber Products Co., of Forest Grove, Oregon. It marks a new development in special-use hardboard products, introduced for the first time as a specific building material, for both builders and the amateur home remodler markets.
Getting away from the standard 4 x 4-foot to 4 x lGfoot industrial size panels, the new Tee-N-Gee panels promise to open an entirely new realm in the use and application of hardboard as a building material.
The panels may be applled horizontally or vertically for a variety of effects and may be permanently curved to form rounded corners, offering new design potential in the hands of amateur or professional. The face is uniformly smooth and presents an excellent surface for any desired color effect. There is no grain raising and paint flows on evenly and smoothly. The panels may also be left in their natural light color and waxed. They are suitable for walls, doors, cabinets and many other uses and may be sawn, planed, sanded, drilled, nailed, stapled or glued.
Application of the lGinch wide panels requires only ordinary working tools and demands no special skill. They go up fast and may be nailed or stapled to furring strips, to studs on 16-inch centers or glued over old walls. Nails or staples are placed inthe sfi-inch tongue and are out of sight when covered by the joining panel, thus entirely eliminating any surface marring.
The Tee-N-Gee panels are conveniently packaged, eight to a carton, and present the dealer with good merchandising potential in tapping home and builder markets. They come in standard t/a-inch thickness.
Like other Forest Hardboard products, the panels are made of pure wood fibers, refined and treated and welded into smooth hard panels that have their own beauty characteristics.
The tongue and groove panels solve the joining problem and are actually the latest in the series of developments made in the hardboard field by Forest Fiber Products Co. During the past four years, the company has pioneered a program of product developrnent for special uses for the purpose of gaining the maximum flexibility for hardboard products for new uses and new markets.
Among other products released this past year is an r/s-inch hardboard called Foron, and developed primarily for laminating uses. The largest present outlet is directed to the plywood industry for production of Plyron, the veneer surfaced panel
with hardboard core. Foron has a high, built-in resin content and provides special surface gluing qualities.
The company's new economy panel, Thriftwood, was introduced to the market earlier this year. It is a r/a-inch low density board for general utility and industrial use where economy is desired.
Underlayment panels are also brand new to the industrial market. Following the design of a special planer that shaves the screen side, precision thickness panels are produced with maximum of 5/1000-inch tolerance. The product is primarily for linoleum and floor tile underlayment and other uses demanding uniform thickness.
Forest Fiber Products recently presented the building materials dealers with an attractive merchandising rack for display of smaller sizes of standard top grade panels. The Budget rack holds 80 panels, 2O each of lZx24-inch, 18x24-inch,24x36inch and 30x48-inch in both r/s-inch and r/a-inch thicknesses.
Standard and treated grade panels are in continuous production. A recently completed post-treating plant was designed by plant engineers and now makes possible the special treating of hardboard for specific requirements. As a result, economies have been realized and greater flexibility in treated panel production has been realized.
The development of every new product has required the pioneering of new equipment. Production manager O. W. Frost, who has spent the past 30 years in wood utilization and development work, has been responsible for much of the new equipmeni and holds patents in his own right.
"With modern precision machinery developed to increase the versatility of this economical building material, the introduction of the new Tee-N-Gee panel to the public marks another forward stride in bringing about better utilization of our timber resources through conversion to useful products," said Harold Miller, president of the company. "The new board is issued under rigid standards of hardness, density anC water resistance and promises to gain widespread use due to its versatility, ease of application, attractive finish and economy."
An interesting sidelight on Forest Hardboard panels as well as the new Tee-N-Gee panel, is the fact that being one of the top grade hardboard products on the market today, they are produced from sound wood salvaged from the old Tillamook burn in the state of Oregon. The old burn, the largest on record, first burned over in 1933, scorched some 300,000 acres of the finest virgin Douglas fir and hemlock timber in the west, including much of the timber stands of the Stimson Company. Realizing that burned timber is actually only affected a few inches deep, unless left to destruction by insects, C. W. Stimson, president, and Harold A. Miller, who is also vice-president and general manager of Stimson Lumber Co., near Forest Grove, set out to utilize the remaining solid wood.
Today, 20 years after the first fire in the area, the charred timber is still being harvested. In addition to making top quality lumber, it is also brinling the light colored Forest Hardboards to the American home builders and industrial markets and is reclaiming and conserving our nation's timl-rer.

Two New Gypsum Products
Two new Sheetrock Gypsum Wallboard prpducts, developed to meet special fire code requirements, have just been announced by United States Gypsum Company.
Called Sheetrock Firecode 60 and Sheetrock Firecode 45, these gypsum wallboard developments introduce s/s inch and I inch thickness that have a 60minute and 45-minute fireresistance rating, respectively, when used on ordinary partition framing or with floor and ceiling constructions that combine joists, subflooring and finished flooring.
Sheetrock Firecode 60 and Sheetrock Firecode 45, rated b-v Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., will permit use of single layer drywall in many areas where codes require extra fire-resistani construction between attached garages and homes, around stairwells, or around heating unit enclosures.
In outward appearance, these products are the same as ordinary Sheetrock Gypsurn Wallboard. But they incorporate a specially developed gypsum core with additives that give them the special fireresistant characteristics

Pricing Building Materials For Profit
Washington, D. C.-"Pricing Building Materials for Profit" is the latest chapter of the Dealer Operating Guide to be issued to members of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association through their state and regional associations.
Based on material preparqd by John W. Dain, Dain Supply Company, Mahopac, New York, the pricing chapter states that "a degree of skill in pricing materials is essential not only to the immediate health of the yard but also to its long-time survival. Some lumber dealers attempt to solve their pricing problems by m&ely following competition, but it makes better sense to follow sound pricing principles and thereby exercise close control as to where the business operation is headed. Blindly following competition invites trouble because the competitor may be operating at a loss."
The chapter covers constructive pricing, definitions of pricing terms, establishing mark-ups, evaluating competition, use of written price lists, and control of cash discounts.
In discussing constructive pricing, it says that "in analyzing the principles which may be followed in pricing lumber and building materials, it should be borne in mind that it is not the dealer's aim to make a killing on a few sales but rather to render a valuable service to his customers and to earn satisfactory over-all profits in proportion, year after year.
"Where competition exists, and that means nearly everywhere, the ideal price will be one which will yield the maximum net profit but will not lose valuable sales, lose valuable customers, or price the materials so high that it ceases to be a good investment for the customer.
"In a period of short supply, the sale may still be made ar a price so high that it results in the loss of the customer at a later time. llowever, such a policy is not regarded as sound business practice."
NIJVLA Issues Booklet
The National Lumber Manufacturers Association has announced publication of its new booklet, "Lumber: From Forest To You," a present-day review of the organization, economics, progress and accomplishments of the lumber industry.
According to Leo V. Bodine, I{LMA Executive Vice President, the information and facts in this 24-page booklet were compiled to help promote a better public understanding o{ the lumber industry. The Association believes that the information should go far toward acquainting others with the tremendous progress of the industry during the past several years and with the industry's aggressive research and tree growing work.
"f,umber: From Forest To You" also presents a convenient glossary of lumbermen's technical terms, and includes a comprehensive listing of references for those desiring fuller knowledge of a particular phase of the lumber industry.

OPS Announces Adjustments for Wholesaleis', Retailers' Margins
(GOR'33 -- Adjustments lor \flholesolers and Retailers under Section 402(k) of the Act)
August 27-An adjustment procedure to comply with 1952 requirements of the Herlong Amendment to the Defense Production Act of 1950 was provided today by the Ofifice of Price Stabilization. The Herlong Amendment now requires that OPS regulations, whether issued before or after July 31, 1951, provide resellers with their customary pt'e-Korean margins or charges above cost for commodities they handle.
In announcing today's procedure (General Overriding Regulation 33, efiective August 27), the agency saicl that although it is of the opinion that most regulations already provide wholesalers and retailers with their customary May 24 to June 24, t950, margins or charges, there is a possibility that OPS may not have complete data on the wide range of trade groups and products covered by the Amendment, and, therefore, today's procedure is provided.
Any reseller who claims that existing regulations do not provide his industry with its customary pre-Korean margin or charge may apply to OPS, Washington 25,D. C. The application must contain evidence to establish the proper margin or charge. Adjustments will be granted for groups of sellers comprising an industry or for groups of products sold by an industry. This follows the intent of Congress, the agency said, in not providing Herlong adjustments for individual sellers or on individual products.
Additional details of today's adjustment procedure to comply with the Herlong Amendment to the Defense Production Act of 1950 follow:
For purposes of today's adjustment, resellers' customary preKorean margins or charges must reflect actual selling prices of
Curtis Companies, Inc. Holds 4-Day Sales Con(erence
Sales executives and sales representatives of Curtis Companies, Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, attended a four-day conference on August ll, 12, 13 and 14, at which time many new Curtis Woodwork products were introduced.
The meeting opened on August 11, at the American Plywood Division of Curtis at New I-ondon, Wis., where Curtis New Londoner Doors and other plywood products are manufactured. The entire group, about 75 in number, spent the morning in the big door plant inspecting hollowcore door and solid core door production. The afternoon was devoted to a sales session, with H. O. Sugg, Curtis Manager at New I-ondon, and several members of his organization in charge of the program.
The group then left for Clinton, Iowa, Curtis home of,frce, and the following three days were spent there. L H. Ramsey. sales manager, was in charge of the program, and was assisted by sales department heads, who displayed an outstanding new line of Curtis products. These included new Curtis kitchens, doors, entrances, windows, trim, and other designs of the broad Curtis Woodwork line.
commodities, rather than !'list" prices to which they apply customary trade discounts. For example, a group of distributors customarily had a list price representing a 40 per cent markup over cost of certain goods. However, all sales of the goods in the base period were made at prices representing a 30 per cent markup over cost. Their customary margin is 30 per cent.
Another example: The net invoice of an item to retailers was 40 cents in July, 1947 ; 42 cents in October, 1948; 44 cents in January, 1949; and 42 cents in May-June, 1950. For the same periods, their prices generally were 80 cents, 84 cents, 88 cents. and 84 cents. This would indicate a customary percentage margin of 100 per cent.
The previous example could be stated in dollars-and-cents margins to which today's adjustment also applies.
"Net invoice cost," OPS explained, is the cost on the supplier's invoice to a reseller less all discounts which could have been taken. Generally, today's action uses net invoice cost as the basis on which customary margins or charges are taken. Ilowever, where industry practice treats other costs of acquisition as costs of the commodities, these additional costs may be considered by an applicant as part of the cost of his commodities.
Where the May 24-June 24, 1950, period is not considered representative of normal sales of a reseller's industry, today's action permits selection of a nearest alternative period of industry sales. A seller must substantiate in his application the contention that the May 24 to June 24, 1950, period is not representative of normal operations for his industry.
The complete new line of "women designed" Curtis kitchens was the high-light of the sales meeting and a broad advertising campaign will open in the fall to promote the new cabinets. Curtis sales representatives are now introducing the new material^s 1e the trade.

Office Price Stabilization Announces Changes
The Office of Price Stabilization has made public additional details of its staff reduction and reorganization made necessary by drastic cuts in its appropriations made by Congress for the current fiscal year.
As previously announced, OPS cut its staff from about Iz,W to about 5,850 by September 1. This will leave a staff of about 4950 in the field and about 1,800 in the national office after September 1. Formerly, field employees numtiered 9,500 and national office workers totaled 2,500.
These personnel reductions necessitated reshuffling of the OPS field offices. Twelve district offices, located in cities where there remains a regional office, were abolished. In addition, 31 former distritt offices have been redesignated branch offices with a reduction of staffs and functions.
The small staffs available in the branch offices will ansr,r'er inquiries and make distribution of OPS material and will serve as contact points for businessmen and the public of the area. These curtailed branch offices,- however, will not, in most cases, be able to process filings of price charts, applications for adjustments in ceiling prices, etc. Such services will be provided by the district and regional offices. Some of the branch offices will report to district offices, others to regional offices.
As a result of this reorganization, the 14 OPS regional offices remain, the district offices are cut from 89 to 46 and 31 district offices have been redesignated branch offices.
The 13 distribution centers formerly located in each of the regional offices except Region 14 will be combined in 4 offices. These centers distribute all OPS documents including public forms, regulations, and press releases. The centers also reproduce many publications for distribution throughout their regions. In addition to the national Distribution Center in Washington, the 4 field distribution points will be 500 Spring Street, Atlanta, Ga.; 325 N. Wells St., Sth Floor, Chicago 10, Ill. ; 1200 Jackson Street, Dallas, Tex.; and 535 Folsom Street, San Francisco 5, Calif.
In the national office the following organizational changes have been effected:
In the Food and Restaurant Division the Poultry and Dairy Branches are being consolidated into a single unitthe Dairy and Poultry Branch. The Livestock Branch is being merged with the Livestock and Meat Distribution Branch but the Meat and Fish Bran,ch'remains a separate branch. The Fats and Oils Branch and the Grain. Feeds. Seeds and Bakery Branch have become the Grain and Related Products Branch. The Fruit and Vegetable Branch is being eliminated because fruits and vegetables have been decontrolled under the amended Defense Production Act. Products formerly under the jurisdiction of this Branch which are still subject to controls will be handled in the Grocery Products Branch.
The former Consumer Goods Distribution, Textile, and Apparel Division and Consumer Durable Goods Division have been combined to form the Consumer Goods Division. The old Textile Branch, Apparel Branch, and Hide, Leather and Shoe Branch will form the Textiles and Apparel Branch. The Appliance, Commercial, and Professional Equipment
Branch, Home Furnishings Branch and Housewares and Accessories Branch will form the Consumer Durable Goods Branch. The functions of the Retail Branch and the Wholesale and Central Price Branch have been combined in the new Distribution Branch.
The Public Utilities Branch of the Transportation, Public Utilities and Fuel Division has been abolished. The remaining branches of the division have been transferred to the Services, Transportation and Foreign Trade Division and the Rubber, Chemicals, Drugs and Fuels Division.
The former Services, Export-Import Division will become the Services, Transportation, and Foreign Trade Division and will include the Transportation. Branch. The name of the Export-Import Branch has been changed to the Foreign Trade' Branch.
The Rubber, Chemicals, and Drugs Division will become the Rubber, Chemicals, Drugs and Fuels Division with the addition of the Petroleum Branch and the Solid Fuels Branch.
There are no'changes in the organizational structure of the following Industrial Materials and Manufactured Goods Division and the Forest Products Division.

Difford's Program Big Factor in Plywood Industry Growth
In announcing the recent appointment of W. E. Difford as managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, (reported in the September 1 issue of The California Lumber Merchant), E. W. Daniels, chairman of the Association's management committee said in part:
"Plywood industry growth, which has been more than fourfold since 1938, is due in large measure to the aggressive trade-promotion program instituted under Difford's direction during his previous tenure."
Speaking for the industry, Daniels continued, "Plywood manufacturers consider effective joint industry trade promotion fundamental to continued progress, and now are investing'$150,000 a month in adveetising and promotion through their trade association. \Me are pleased that Difford has agreed again to direct the program "
Standardization of product, maintenance of quality and improvement of product, and the enlisting of distributors and lumber dealers as a strong plywood sales force were integral parts of the plan inaugurated 15 years ago and
TWENTYAs reported
vital as well today. Under Difford's direction, the plywood industry established a research foundation in 1945 to improve manufacturing techniques and develop new products suitable for production in plywood plants or allied factories. One company is now manufacturing a hardboard material from the foundation-developed process and another plant is under construction.
Difford was born in Illinois, educated at the University of Chicago and admitted to the bar in the state of Texas. Before first coming to the plywood association in 1938, he had been secretary of the Kentucky Retail Lumber Dealerb Association and president of W. J. Hughes and Sons of Louisville, Kentucky, one of the largest sash and door distributors in the south.
In his return to Douglas Fir Plywood Association, he brings in addition to long experience in retailing and merchandising of building materials and trade association work, a thorough knowledge of the plywood industry and selling at the manufacturers' level.

H.mmond Inaugurates Large Scale Artificial Reforestation Program
Eureka, Sept. Z-As a major part of its policy to operate its lands on a sustained yield basis, the Ha'mmond Lumber Company announced this week the inauguration of a largescale artificial reforestation program and expansion of its fire protection system.
The program will cost in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million dollars to install and maintain. It will cover the protection of approximately 48,00O acres of cut-over land located in the Little River and Maple Creek basins and the reforestation of some 3000 acres in the Big Lagoon area which was heavily burned'in the Maple Creek forest fire 'of 1945.
Waldron Hyatt, general manager of Hammond's redwood division, announced that once the program is well under way, the company will apply to the California Redwood Association for a tree farm certificate covering Big Lagoon and Little River-nearly 93,000 acres of virgin and cut-over lands stretching from Orick to southeast of Crannell.
"Our objectives," Hyatt explained, "are to bring the protection system on our early logged lands up to the high standards on our operating areas and to rehabilitate the area damaged in the 1945 burn so that we can apply for a certificate for the whole block.
"We subscribe to the policy that proper protection of
cut-over areas is an inherent part of- any operation and particularly a tree farm."
The protection system will take five years to complete and will include the construction of 178 miles of roads and trails, LZI miles of snag-free fire breaks along key ridges, development of water supplies and three lookout points.
In the burned-over area, 2145 acres will .be seeded with redwood and Douglas fir and 785 acres will be planted with two-year-old trees.
Redwood Region Conservation Council President, E. T. F. Wohlenberg hailed the Hammond program as a "great step in the direction of sustained yield forest management.
"This project is an indication of the seriousness with which the industry pursues its activities to grow and protect its resources for future harvest," he said. "These programs lead to a permanent industry and to stable prosperous communities.
"The vision of the executives of the Hammond Lumber Company is indeed worthy of acclaim. In the long run, thesuccess of these programs will be measured by the cooperation of everyone in protecting the growing forests from fire."
Hammond already operates two tree farms totaling 21,221 acres near Carlotta on the Van Duzen river and at Camp Grant near South Fork.
Redwood Association' Studies'spacing Of Lumber Piles in Drying Yard
A partial answer to one of the most difficult problems in the manufacture and seasoning of redwood ittmber was provided today in a special report released by the California Redwood Association
Traditionallv a problem child when it comes to drying, redwood normally must be dried in the open air before the job is completed in a kiln.
The spacing of piles of lumber in yards in the Humboldt Bay area was studied by the California Redwood Association to determine the best rate of drying with maximum uniformity. The study showed that a spacing of six feet between piles of lumber "would probably be the most advantageous."
Experimentation in air drying techniques will be continued and supplementary information published from time to time, the Association said.
The tests were conducted at the Arcata Redwood Company using "sinker stock" of one inch thickness. The Association studied the effect of four, six and eight-foot spacings on drying during the winter months.
A. N. King, sales manager, Galleher Hardwood Co., Los Angeles, made a trip by automobile to Banff and Lake Louise for his three weeks'vacation. He was accompanied by his wife and tr,r'o children.

OPS Announces Decontrol o[ Certain Lumber and \(/ood Products
A new overriding regulation exempts from price control producers' sales of logs and bolts, other than excelsior bolts, pulpwood, and chemical or extract wood, cut east of the 100th Meridian, or roughly in the eastern half of the United States, and sold for specified end-uses.
The overriding regulation was drafted in a form so that it may be used rs the vehicle for including other lumber and lvood products which may be exempted in the future.
Logs and bolts affected by this action have been subject to the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR), which froze prices on January 26,1951.
The action, similar to the exemption of stumpage in SR 17 to the GCPR, was taken because the absence of appropriate grading standards made the establishment of tailored ceilings impracticable and enforcement of GCPR ceiling difficult. OPS said the exemption will not be inflationary since the products made from logs and bolts are covered by price ceilings.
Logs and bolts are tree segments suitable for manufacture into lumber, veneer, shingles, staves, heading, handles, vehicle stock and various other items. Logs and bolts vary greatly in value, depending on such factors as mixture of species, visible defects. size, number of annular rings per inch. location, accessibility, and other factors. Prices customarily are determine<l by negotiation between buyers and sellers for each lot.
Promoted to General Manager Masonite €orporation
The promotion of F. O. Marion from sales manager of Masonite Corporation to the new position of general sales manager has been announced by Paul B. Shoemaker, vice president in charge of sales. With the corporation since 1936, rvhen he joined as a dealer salesman, Mr. Marion's rise in the sales department has been rapid. He had held the sales manager's post since January, 1951.
1\{r. Marion, while a dealer salesman at Normal, I11., joined the army air force, in which he served five years as a B-29 bombardier-navigator. Leaving the service as a major, he was successively a dealer salesman in Colorado, assistant manager of the sales engineering department, assistant manager of industrial sales and pssistant to the sales manager.
Mr. and Mrs. MariorC and their two cl-rildren live at 1528 Ostrander Ave., LaGrange Park, Ill.
OPS emphasized that this action does not apply to sales of pulpwood, or chemical or extract wood.
Amendment 1 to CPR 149 exempts from price control sales of ungraded rough southern yellow pine lumber by one manufacturer to another for drying, grading, finishing or reworking. Certain records pertaining to these sales must be kept, however.
The exer4ption is applicable to such sales so long as the buyer is subject to CPR 149 when he resells the lumber.
The exemption will apply largely to sales of ungraded rough and run-of-the-mill lumber by small sawmills to larger sawmills, planing milis and concentration yards.
Manufacturers' sales of rough lumber to consumers, wholesalers and retailers will continue to be governed by CPR 149. The exemption will not affect consumers' prices, because when the lumber is resold it will be subject to the specific ceilings established by CPR 149.
The amendment was issued primarily to permit the pricing of certain ungraded rough lumber sales between lumber manufacturers by negotiation, as is the custom. Another reason for this exemption was the difficulty of determining equitable, uniform ceiling prices for ungraded rough lumber. It varies widely in value depending on the quality of the timber, accessibility, locality and skill and equipment of the producer. Financing arrangements are a consideration in the price.
Self-Loading Trucks Speed Timber-salvage Worlc on Western Pine Tree Farms
New developments in salvage logging equipment, including self-loading trucks, are saving millions of feet of western pine sawtimber earmarked by nature for extinction and decay in the woods. Machiriery-wise small loggers, with the cooperation of tree farming industries, devise and use ingenious equipment to bring in trees felled by wind, girdled by beetles or otherwise knocked out by natural forces.
The self-loading truck, its steel boom jutting out from behind the cab, is already a common sight in many pine areas of Eastern Oregon and Northern California. Capable of going anywhere an ordinary logging trucl< can go, the self-loader units make a business of picking up stricken trees before the wood stains or otherwise deteriorates.
Some industrial Tree Farms have as many as three salvage contractors worl<ing full time saving "bug timber." The volume of usable wood reclaimed for mants use runs into impressive figures. Tree 'Farm fo:esters call this practical conservation.

Trussed Rafters Bring Millions In Lumber Saleg
Lumber rnanufacturers have realized well over $3-million in sales of standard framing lumber used in prefabricated Teco trussed rafters for the single'family, one story homes, and garden apartment housing units built in the past six years, according to A. K. Smith, sales manager of Timber Engineering Company.
As of June 1, over 100,000 housing units have been built with these trussed rafters, requiring 75-million board feet of lumber or nearly 4,000 carloads. In addition, trussed rafters have been specified in over 8,000 units to be built, for which an approximate 6-million additional board feet of lumber will be required.
Trussed rafters make possible the economical clear span roof construction that eliminates all interior load-bearing partitions, and effects considerable savings in time, materials and labor.
The time-saving factor is important to builders in maintaining schedules and meeting continuing demands for housing. Trussed rafters being easy to erect and requiring only the exterior walls for support, the roof sheathing and roofing can be put on as quickly as the trusses are in place on the outer walls. This enables the unit to be closed quickly and the interior work to proceed to completion, regardless of weather conditions.
With no interior load-bearing partitions to cut through or circumvent, the flooring, wiring and plumbing can be installed in minimum time. Plumbing installation time can be cut as much as 50 per cent with about 20 per cent less time required for the flooring.
Teco trussed rafters are simple assemblies of four main members, used in pairs, and fabricated from standard 2x4 and2x5 framing lumber, of which there is plenty. Spans up lo 32 feet are permitted without changing joint details or lumber sizes except in the lengths. There are no confusing right-hand or left-hand members. They are assembled with ring connectors placed in precut g'rooves which automatically align the members accurately in the truss,
Although some builders fabricate their on'n trussed rafters on.fte"joh-si.te, t&e growing tendeney in many areas is for contractors to sublet the prefabrication of their Teco trussed rafters to experienced fabricating firms, of which there are about 50 strategically located in all sections of the country. They have found an advantage in the convenience of having the trusses delivered assembled to the job site, ready for errection, thus keeping the jobs moving ahead rvith dispatch.
The extra strength gained through use of the timber connector reduces the size of lumber required for the job, permits the trusses to be spaced 24" on center rather than the usual 16" used with ordinary rafters, and effects savings up to 33 per cent in material. Spacing trussed rafters is simplified by placing framing anchors on the plate in advance, 'eliminating toe-nailing and securing the roof against uplift due to wind.
ing loads has encouraged designers and manufacturers to produce a variety of space-saving, ready-to-install storage wall units that bring further economy and benefits to builders and homeowners.
Developed originally for economical clear span construction in residences, Teco trussed rafters are also being sup. plied by timber fabricators for stores, churches, schools, warehouses, farm and factory buildings, and other small and medium size buildings.
A booklet on trussed rafters is available on request to Timber Erigineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.
Gyptum Industry Advisory Committee
Uniform zone pricing was discussed today by members of the Gypsum Industry Advisory Committee and officials of the Office of Price Stabilization.
Tl-re meeting was called by OPS at the suggestion of the industry and was the 6rst held.
The OPS said it would consider the uniform zone pricing proposal put forth by the industry and that should it conduct an industry-wide survey it rvould consider including the West Coast.
Several of the committeemen expressed concern about recent OPS regulations permitting a pass-through of Interstate Commerce Commission increased transportation rates on the grounds they did not understand the u.ording of the transportation regulations.
The increased transportation pass-through regulations specify that a seller may increase his ceiling price "in the exact amount" of the increased transportation rate.
Some of the committeemen wanted to knor,r' if this meant per unit or an average for a company. They were told a clarification was being considered by OPS.
The meeting was conducted by Walter lf. Acheson, chief, Building Materials Branch of the Industrial Materials and Manufactured Goods Division, as chairman, and William L. Pringle, chief, Masonry Materials Section of the Branch, as co-chairman.
Other OPS officials participating were Irving Rubenstein, branch economist; C. W. Campbell, attorney; Harry -Sprack, business specialist, Office of Industry Advisory Committees; Aron M. Feirson, economist; Joseph A. Murray, accountant; Arther E. Reyman, attorne\', and Alfred G. Albert, attorney.
Members of the industry present were Frederick Tompkins, Sr., Newark Plaster Company, Newark, N. J.; Henry W. Collins, Celotex Corporation, Chicago; Noel J. Redmond, Blue Diamond Corporation, Los Angeles; Malcolm Meyer, Certain-teed Products, Ardmore, Pa.; Dean D. Crandall, National Gypsum Company, Buffalo; H. F. Sadler, U. S. Gypsum Company, Chicago. Members not present were Carl Olson, Kaiser Gypsum Companv. Oakland, California,'and George N. Lenci, Ebsary Gypsum Company, Rochester, New York.

California Redwood Grading School
To be Resumed Septemb er 23
The series of grading schools held under the auspices of the Inspectioq.,.Bivision of the California Redwood Association last season will be resumed in September in what may be termed a post graduate course in redwood lumber grading. The first of these grading classes will be held in Willits starting September 23, with the classes meeting at 7 P.M. on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, September 23,25 and 30 and October 2 and 7.
Carrying out the idea of a post graduate course, these classes trtill cover the more technical features of grading, as it is planned to spend considerably more time on discussion and evaluation of selected redwood samples during each of the sessions. The final session on October 7 will be devoted to the actual grading of redwood lumber. Those participating in the grading test may check their efforts with the grade designation given to each piece at the conclusion of the test.
The cost of the five-session course will be $3.00, with a minimum of $1.00 each for single attendance up to three. It is believed that workers employed in plants of member mills will have their costs paid by these mills.
To reach th€ Farm Bureau Hall. turn east at the Willits Hotel, cross the railroad tracks, turn left after tl miles and follow Hearst Road for a short distance.
George Nelson, Chief Inspector for the California Redrvood Association, will again be in charge of the classes.
Prospective students can contact him at 1659 Pine Street, Eureka, phone Hillside 3-0075. Mr. Nelson states that there was an unexpected interest in the grading schools last season, and that during the coming series of classes the facilities will be increased to take care of the expected larger attendance. Mill operators outside of the membership of the California Redwood Association will be welcome to enroll in these grading schools.

No SS U. S. \Tithout Wood
Building of the mammoth new superlinpr, SS United States, would not have been possible without the use of wood. So says the United States Lines, owner of the pride of the U. S. maritime fleet.
More wood was used in the construction of the SS United States-an all-metal ship-than is normally used in the construction of large all-wood vessels. In fact, the SS U. S. is the world's greatest "wooden" ship, for its birth required enough lumber, poles and blocks to stretch out 200 miles if placed end to end. The nearly 3 million board feet of lumber and wood that went into its construction would build at least 12 ships the size of the "Constitution," or three ocean-going ships 300 feet in length.
United States Lines figures on the tremendous amount oI wood used to build the superliner reveal enough pine boards850,000 feet-to build a 2,000-ton wooden ship 300 feet long. The shipyard's pattern makers needed an additional 187,000 board feet of wood; another 150,000 board feet went into protective coverings, packing and shipping cases. For purposes such as braces, ladders, ribband and stage boards, 2,0U,M board feet of Douglas fir and Southern pine were used.
Shipbuilders require a large supply of wood for scaffolding. Just the supports for the scaffolding erected during the construction of this modern passenger ship took six and one-half miles of pine poles-some of which were as much as 95 feet high. Staging utilized 240,600 board feet of Douglas fir poles.
Enough oak blocks went into cribbing and shoring the liner to build more than 14 two-story, six-room houses. Oak timbers used as keel track and cribbing amounted to 222,000 board feet. There were 115,700 board feet of Southern pine poles used in shoring; an additional 66,900 board feet of Southern pine lumber for blo.cking and shoring
Which all goes to show that there would never have been an SS U.S. without wood.

Q. T. llqrdtner
Q. T. Hardtner, president Urania Lumber Company, Ltd. of lJrania, I-a., one of the leading lumbermen of the South and nationally prominent as a foremost exponent of reforestation, passed away at a hospital in Shreveport, La., Thursday, August 21. He was 74 years of age and had been in failing health for many months.
IIe was a younger brother of the late Henry Hardtner who was known as the father of reforestation in the South. The Hardtners had a theory that if the forests were given protection against fire and hogs, and were thinned out as they grew, rather than being permitted to become overcrowded, the trees would reach maturity much more quickly. This theory they put into practice and demonstrated its truth. The time came when thev could announce that their forests were growing faster than they were cut.

Wstt
One of the acknowledged great leaders of the lumber industry died on August 29. He was George H. Zimmerman, of Waco, Texas, president and chairman of the board of Wm. Cameron & Company, which has been in business for nearly a century, and which operates a hundred lumber yards in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. It also operates a very extensive wholesale department for building materials other than lumber, and a big millwork manufacturing establishment in Waco.
Mr. Zimmerman was 63 years of age, and has been the guiding and advising spirit of The Lumbermen's Association of Texas for more than a generation. No man ever played a more prominent or respected part in the guidance of an industry than did Mr. Zimmerman in the retail lumber business in Texas. It would be hard to imagine a man more respected or better loved by his fellows.
