THE CALIFOR}IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

How l.rumber lrooks

Portland, Oregon, September 1S-Records of a year's standing fell as Douglas fir sawmills of Washington and Oregon took an average of 182,709,000 board feet of lumbe: orders lr,'eekly during August, said H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the \\rest Coast Lumbermen's Association. Not since August, 19'18, have West Coast fir mills been offered this volume of business.

A sharp upturn in demand increased unfilled order files of fir mills by nearly 100 million feet in August over July, Simpson said. Depleted retail lumber stocks throughout the country, now being filled to meet stepped-up home building and heavier industrial and public construction it.t the past 60 days were given credit for the improved market lr_v the lunTber leader.

A critical freight car shortage in the fir region, especially tight in Southern Oregon, served to curtail shipments ancl upped the gross stocks of mills some 36 million feet to 967,238,UN board feet for August. Production continued strong with August weekly averages totaling 167,260,000 board feet, best since May.

Simpson said total orders for the first 35 rveeks ol 1949 continued to lead both production and shipments. Orders of 5,597,000,000 board feet through August were 180 million feet over production for the same period and 155 million feet over shipments.

The weekly averag'e of West Coast lumber production irr Augtrst was 167,260,000 b.f. or lll.8/a of the 1943-1948

average. Orders averaged 182,709,W0 b.f.; Shipments 162,927,0N b.l. Weekly averages for July were; Production 125,090pn G3.6% of the 1943-1948 average). Orders 149,926,000 b.f.; Shipments 129,845,000 b.f.

Thirty-five weeks of 1949 cumulative production 5,418,880,000 b.f.; Thirty-five lveeks of 1948, 5,969,281,N0 b.f.; 'Ilrirty-five weeks of. 1947, 5,585,551,000.

Orders for thirty-five weeks of 7949 breakdown as follows: Rail 3,531,532,000 b.f.; Truck 264,032,000 b.f . Domestic Cargo 948,356,0U0 b.f.; Export 244,941,N0 b.f. Local 608,139,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 572,987,0m b.f. at the end of August. Gross Stocks at967,238,0N.

fiarilsn firove Lumher & Cement Co. Keeps Up l{ith The Times

This is a story about vision and faith. Back when.this century was just getting started, a man by the name of W. L. Jencks accompanied the work crer,v that was laying the tracks for the Pacific Electric rcute through what is norv the Garden Grove, Orange County, Calif. area. Garden Grove looked mighty good to him, so he bought a piece of lancl there, and shortly afterwards in 19O5, started the Garden Grove Lumber & Cement Co. on this site, the corner of Garden Grove Blvd. and the Pacific Electric tracks. This was the first business firm to be established in that tou,n, and it and the town have grorvn together.

In 1910 the business \\'as purchased by the late H. A. Lake ancl \\r. W. Dungan. The following year Mr. Lake bought out Nfr. Dungan, and at the present time Mr. Lake's son, Louis, is orvner and manager of the business.

Last 1'ear the old building was torn dolvn, and construction started on a fine new establishment, one rvhich shows that the owner of this business has faith in his business and his torvn. Huge plate glass lvindows on trvo sides give an inviting vierv of the interior. Decoration is provided by natural llervn flagstones, and the attractive yellow trim. Display rooms are attractively finished in knotty pine, Etchrvood, and combed fir. A feature of the interior is a glass-rvalled bttsiness offrce, rvith "half-1,a11s."

The ceiling is finished in U. S. Gypsum insulation Tyle Bord, and the floor in asphalt tile. A neu,-type gas heater keeps temperatures perfect throughout the year, as it becomes an air-conditioner in the summer. Fluorescent lighting is used throughout the building. There is plenty of parking space in the cement parking area directly in front of the showrooms.

The founder of the business, W. L. Jencks, lives in Los Angeles nou'.

Thig is how the sqme buginess looked in 1905. The sign scye "Gcrden Grove, the Home Town -We Furnigh the Lumber to Build ihe Homes."

The preserrt owner, Louis Lake says, "With our new building, we are prepared to continue our policy of supplying Garden Grove with everything in the way of lumber and building supplies. We invite Garden Grovers to drop in at any time to see our new store, and to inspect our many fine lines of nationally advertised merchandise."

"The glory of a workman, still more of a master workman. that he does his work well, ought to be his most precious posession; like the 'honor of a soldier,' dearer to him than life."

* * Itnomas Carlisle

What a glorious job of poetic prose writing was done when Marco Morrow wrote: "It is a glorious privilege to live, to know, to act, to listen, to behold, to love. To look up at the blue summer sky; to see the sun sink slowly beyond the line of the horizon; to watch the worlds come twinkling into view, first one by one, and then the myriads that no man can count, and lo ! the universe is white with them; and you and f are here."

General Frank J. HowleS director of the office of military government for the American sector of Berlin, recently said: "Russians are liars and swindlers. There is no truth in them, and the sooner we realize that fact and accept it, the better off we will be. They believe that truth changes from day to day. For them there is no such thing as an eternaltruth."

A distinguished Southern lawyer and businessman, Rex G. Baker, in a formal address made the following remarks: "Let us not be deluded into believing that we can start down the pathway of socialism without ending up in the diabolical hell of Communism. The Communist must deny the existence of God and must worship at the shrine of Lenin, Stalin, and the politburo. No one at all conversant with the facts believes for one moment that Communism is not at direct enmity with God. To the Communist there can be but one loyalty, loyalty to the Kremlin. There can be but one voice-the voice of Moscow. There can be but one will-that of Stalin."

New Deal gang gets together to do a little singing-or talking'

President Harry gave us a lot of that old-fashioned hell not long ago when he described as "selfish interests" all those who disagree with his program. So far as I can discover, that puts all the employers and all the investors and all the businessmen in the country in the "selfish interests" basket. There are probably just enough exceptions to prove the rule. Because if there are any of those who are NOT opposed to the downward highway along rvhich he demands that we travel, I have so far failed to meet or hear from them'

Politicat writers tell us that administration contact men are still going about the country trying to find out what business thinks about the present situation, and at the same time trying to sow some thoughts into business ears favorable to the administration. Certainly no canvass is necessary to find out what business thinks, for business is frank and outspoken in its opinions. Business thinks that our present governmental course is all wrong, and that only by heading off the Truman program of spending and wasting can we be saved from disaster.

Anybody who doubts ,r* an* is what business thinks, is just kidding himself-or others. Business has been picking up some lately for the simple reason that Congress has thus far refused to pass the bulk of the socialistic legislation that has been thrust upon it. That's why business is better than it was three months back. If Congress would go home without passing any of the proposed laws that frighten the wits out of employers and investors, business of all kinds would pick up in a hurry. I don't see how any unbiased and open-minded observer can think otherwise. The situation is plain, and even he who runs may read it.

That old revival chorus, written at the turn of the present century by F. L. Stanton, used to be one of the most popular revival hymns during the first generation of this century. Those words run through my head very often when I consider the goings-on in the free city of Washington, D.C. My sort of folks, and YOUR sort of folks, Junior, certainly catch old-fashioned hell every time the

A Washington writer ""r" an"a when an administration man calls on a businessman, the average one interviewed replies like this: "You assure us that Truman is no radical and that he wants to help us. But labor leaders tell unions they should have higher wages. Brannan comes out with a farm plan that will raise wages and costs,. and Truman backs it. Acheson demands more billions for foreign aid. Truman keeps us and our employees on the mourner's bench by naming fact-finding committees, demanding repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. All of which means higher taxes, higher wages, higher production costs, higher prices. It just doesn't make sense." You can hear those senti-

It doesn't matter what they preach, Of high or low degree, The old hell of the Bible, Is hell enough for me.

ments, although generally much more forcefully expressed, anywhere you meet business people. ***

The Los Angeles Times printed a little editorial the other day that expressed the feelings of most good Americans. ft read: "The inference that the first responsibility for providing citizens with adequate support in their old age rests upon the government, may be consistent with President Truman's spending program, but it is foreign, European, Marxist, Socialistic, or whatever you want to call it. It ISN'T American. The American idea is that the first obligation to provide for himself rests on the citizen. * * * It is NOT and ought not to be a government obligation to provide 'adequate' social security. The word should be 'minimum' instead of 'adequate.' It is important to the American way of life that every man, or at least every family, should be encouraged to stand on his own feet and make his own way in the world. Society shouldn't let anybody starve; but it should expect that everyone will pull his own weight so far as he can. For his own sake it should not help him to become a parasite."

James F. Byrnes recently said that the road we are traveling could well make "galley slaves" out of our people. Ike Eisenhower said something like it. So did Herbert I{oover, and Barney Baruch, and innumerable lesser lights of the "selfish interests." fn a letter before me a friend says: "Every time we lend our support to any 'deal' designed to place undue power in the hands of .government bureaus while curtailing our constitutional rights, we are, perhaps unconsciously, helping to scrap the American way, which through the years has given our people prosperity the like of which was never enjoyed by other nations. Under it the descendants of immigrants, farmers, blacksmiths, etc., are given the opportunity of becoming leaders in every field. Under it we have become the inspiration and the guiding light and the hope of unhappy people throughout the world. Would any thinking person change it for government absolutism?"

Another message before me reads: "We seem to be suffering from moral bankruptcy in this country. No one seems greatly concerned with government spending and wasting. Fraud and dishonesty is simply taken as a matter of course, and people wink at it instead of being outraged"t

The First National Bank of Boston in a published letter, made the fol6wing statements : "Tn 1929 federal spending amounted to less than two-thirds of the personal income of the inhabitants of California. By 1947 federal expenditures were approximately equal to the total personal income of all the inhabitants of California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and four-fifths of Texas. Federal expenditures amounted 1e $121 per family in 1929, $250 in 1938, and about $984 in 1948. Remember that these figures represent the spending of the federal government only. When state and local government spending is added, the total amounts to some 30 per cent of our national income. In other words

the American people gpend nearly one-third of their working time and effort to support their various governments.

Let us give thanks and rejoice at this time that there are definite signs of improvement in the lumber markets of the nation. Southern Yellow Pine showed the first signs of definite improvement. For many weeks in a row the sales of Southern Pine lumber have far exceeded production and shipments, and the market is steadily strengthening. The Doullas Fir market, after slumping slowly for some time, took a sudden turn for the better, and the price of common Fir has been steadily improving. Other species also report improvement. Hardwood fooring, which dragged sadly for a long time, is showing greatly improved market strength. * *

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the lumber markets generally kept right on improving. By the time the dead of winter comes building will of course be curtailed in the northern regions, but to compensate for that there are innumerable sawmills that must close as soon as freezing weather starts in various parts of the country. The need for housing and for building materials continues great. I think much of the improvement to the lumber market is based on the greater selling and merchandising efforts of the industry. Selling time is back again, everyone in the lumber business realizes it, and tens of .thousands of lumber salesmen are making two or more orders appear where only one was in sight.

when r saw kids troopin*i"Jo to school the other day, it brought to mind my favorite school story. I've told it before, and probably will again. On the opening day of school a mother brings her little girl to the first grade teacher, and is told that because the kid has not yet reachdd her sixth birthday, they cannot enroll her, the minimum age being six. The mother insists that her girl knows enough to qualify with children much older than she is, and urges the teScher to talk to her and satisfy herself. The teacher says to the kid: "All right, little girl, let me hear you use some words." The youngster looks puzzled, and then asks: "You want me to use some purely irrelevant words?"

ratt.nt"oct"tg- the Newest in Siding wEt SIDING

DEALERS: Architects and builders soon utill be dernanding tbis attractiae neTa siding,

You've akeady seen the fine efiects that have been obtained with Veldtex* when used in large panels.

Now, that same beauty, that same durability, that same uniqueness, is available in Veldtex Sid,inq.

In \(eldtex Siding, the warmth and beauty of natural wood have been augmented by grooving the surface with deep, iregularly-cut striations. These cut-in grooves lend a third-dimensional quality-to the surface, breaking up the flat plane and creating pleasant highIights and shadows.

MANY PR,AGTIGAT ADVANTAGES

But Veldtex Siding has important practical advantages, too. There is no objectionable grain-raising or checking. Expansion and contraction are minimized because the striations relieve surface stress.

Joint lines are invisible. Face nails are concealed by the deep-cut grooving.

And, the wide 4-foot panels go up fast. Only 20 panels cover a square. Savings as much as $60 per small house have been reported (based. on a red,uction of 707o in labor costs).

Best of all, the finished job is weather-tight, with a minimum of seams. $7'eldtex Siding takes paint and other exterior finishes perfectly, making a beautiful job which adds to the value of any house.

FHA APPNOYED

rVeldtex Siding is approved by FHA on Federal Housing fobs. Vrite for more information and folder showing typical installation details.

Homebuilders Start 98,000 New Units in August

Homebuilders continued their brisk pace in August, starting 98,00O new permanent nonfarm dwelling units, an increase of.2,O0O units over July and 11,400 over August 1948, the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics announced.

August marked the fourth successive month in rvhich nerv homes were started at about the rate of 100,000 a month. Moreover, homebuilding activity this past sumrler, as measured by new units put under construction, rvas at the highest monthly level on record for June, July, and August.

Preliminary Bureau estimates show a nation-wide total ol 647,5A0 new drvelling units started during the first 8 months of. 1949, only 2 percent, or 11,700 units, under last year's total for the same months. The gains this year result from continued increases in rental accommodations (units in 2-or-more family structures) and publicly financed housing begun by State and local housing authorities. Almost 28,000 new publicly financed dwellings have been put under construction thus far in 1949, compared with 8,800 units started during the 1948 January-August period.

Lustron Continues to Lose On Steel Houses

According to published reports The Lustron Corporation, of Columbus, Ohio, is losing money at the rate of about $1,100,000 a month. This is the Government financed outfit that is manufacturing all-steel pre-fab houses with money advanced by the RFC. Already the corporation has had $37,500,000 from the Government, and commitment is made for much more, maybe as much as fifty million more. Lustron must make and sell 35 to 50 houses a day to break even, and is now making about 15 a day. The only non-steel parts of a Lustron house are the concrete slab floor and its asphalt finish, and the rvindows. The houses are of steel covered with baked enamel and done in eye-catching, bright colors. Plumbing and electric wiring are built-in, as are bookcases, cabinets, bathroom fixtures, screens, water heater, washing machines, etc. The present model house has 1,083 feet of floor space, and has two bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen. RFC says that Congress through Section 102 of the Housing Act has authorized. it to go through with this experiment. So the millions will continue to pour into the experiment. People occupying the already-built houses are said to be well pleased with them.

Philippine Offici.l Discusses Lumber Conditions

ln the lslands

A lunchecn meeting was called by the Philippine Mahogany Association on Tuesday, September 13 at the Jonathan Club, Los Angeles, to honor Florencio Tamesis, Director of Forestry of the Philippine Republic and Dean of the School of Forestry at Manila. About fifty were present, including Philippine mahogany importers, builders, furniture manufacturers, bankers, architects and members of the shipping industry.

N{r. Tamesis rvill be in this country about a month and 'il/as one of the speakers at the annual convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association at Chicago on September 26.

Frank J. Connolly, president of the Western Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, introduced Mr. Tamesis who discussed the lumber situation in the Philippines. His talk follorvs :

"I am indeed grateful for the privilege you accorded to me in meeting you this afternoon. I certainly enjoyed immensely your company and appreciate this wonderful opportunity for which I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be happy to report to my Government this spirit of cordiality. f can assure you it will be greatiy appreciated.

"Today your country and my country are experiencing the period of readjustment as the aftermath of the recent world war. How best we succeed is a matter of speculation. But there seems to be an indication that these obstacles can be met through better understanding of the different factors affecting the various channels of industry and government. What concerns my people ties up to a mutual and better understanding with the people of this country.

"You r'r,ill recall that for over 40 years we were under vour tutelage, and are only 4 years old as an independent

nation. In our endeavor to meet our national obligations we naturally seek trade expansions and development, and realizing our former tie up with your industry and economy, we now naturally look forward to reestablishing that connection with the hope of perpetuating better trade understanding than we had enjoyed before.

"At the outset, I want to tell you that I have nothing to sell you personally, but I have under my charge possibly the largest stands of hardwood timber in the world that is easily accessible and amenable to modern mechanical extractions and conversions at costs comparably reasonable for woods of similar classification.

"As you know, the Philippines is a group of some 7,083 islands and has an area of 115,600 square miles, or only about 7/3 ot r/a of. the State of California, with a population of over 19 million people. Among these islands there are 11 large ones that have commercial timber and there is where we started carrying our lumber industry since the American Occupation. American pioneers were not slow in recognizing the value of our forests and soon after the Government was estabiished, introductions of mechanical logging and conversions were placed in operation. The lumber industry has developed so rapidly that at the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was playing an important role in the Philippine economy and social welfare. It ranked {ourth in the value of production, second in the number of iaborers employed, third in the monthly wages, and fifteenth in the number of establishments. There was sufficient lumber for home consumption and export trade was developed and there were established foreign contacts rnostly with this country. During our forced isolation, rve have had very little use of our timber resources, although the Japanese armed forces did their darndest to produce lumber for the war efforts. It did not succeed..but instead

ruined our existing set-up either through sabotage or direct operation of the war.

"Incidentally I might mention what took place during the Japanese Occupation. Apparently lumber was one of the objectives of the Japanese in getting into the islands, as one of the things they did was to put into effect the organization which was perfected in Japan as early as October, 1941. Among the first matters that were taken up by the military administration was the creation of a committee ,composed of former Japanese residents of Manila to undertake production of lumber. The system of government control through private corporation was the basis of their operation. Lumber control union was organized, composed of 11 companies who were in lumber business in the Philippines three years before. the war. The Islands were divided into 11 groups. Each group was assigned to each one of those companies to operate. The American and enemy-owned property were confiscated and assigned to those various units. The purpose was to produce lumber for military uses. Their lumber control union set up an elaborate office in Manila and bought all available logging and milling equipment. There had been a wonderful sabotage in that organization. Within a year after its function, I was told by the Chairman of the Control Board, who, by the way, was an old Manila resident and the General Manager of the Philippine Lumber Exportation ComDany, that they had spent several million pesos, Mickey Mouse, buying all kinds of logging and milling equipment, and that when they had a checkup, they found that the materials that were supposed to be in the warehouse were not actually there. What actually happened was that articles came at the front door and were paid for, and got out of the back door to return again the next day. In the rneantime, the Japanese Military Government proclaimed that they would allcw Philippine participation in the Government and that they did not believe on monopoly of any one produce. After experiencing considerable difficulty in the acquisition of lumber by these units, the committee again came to me and asked why they were having trouble. i explained to them that each and everyone of those companies were working more for themselves than for the industry and that the people. were not willing to work; that they were made to wait for payment of their products; and that they were tired of being maltreated or abused. I then invoked their own conceDt of monopolv that each one

of those companies was actually practising. I suggested that if those companies stopped controlling and abusing the people, they might be able to get something. I kidded them that their system would not work. I discussed the plan that if the Government handled it rather than the private people, it would be possible that results could be obtained. Apparently they had reported to the Commanding General because within a week order was issued that the Bureau of Forestry should handle the distribution of whatever timber was available throughout the occupied areas. This gave me a chance to moderate productions and at the same time keep in contact with the outside movement. As a matter of fact, while the control rt'as under the direction of the Director of Forestry, we had been able to bring from Mindoro to Manila lumber and "MacArthur" information. The year before the return of General MacArthur, we had been getting chewing gum, chocolates, even pencils, with the mark, "I Shall Return" through the lumbermen who carried a pass frcm my office. 'That was a rather risky undertakikng, but there was only one way we could be of free access to the people outside and for them to know what was going on in Manila. So many things happened during that period that it would take up all our time this afternoon to relate, but suffice it to say, the United States Army found that the operation of the lumbermen during that period rvas primarily of sabotage rather than collaboration with the occupying Army.

"As a result of that operation, the industry had to start all over again. I mentioned a while ago that we think we have the largest stand of hardrvoods in the world that are amenable to modern extractions. Modern extractions and conversions to be at reasonable cost must call for timber stands and composition sufficiently heavy to pay for the investments and operation. Our forests which are estimated to contain around 464 billion board feet meet this requirement. Our timber stands of important commercial species range from 15 to 30,000 feet to the acre. Under our government regulaticns we do not allow cutting of commercial species except for special purposes, trees below 12 inches in diameter. As most of our foiests are now considered matured, the average commercial diameters range from 20 to 40 inches, although trees of 62 to 72 inches in diameter are not uncommon. In height they range from 60 to 100 feet clear bole. Another interesting feature of the Philippine forests is that their composition of species,

Since 1922 in Soutbern Calilornia Stocks on hcnd <rt loccrl hcrrbor for fcst seryice

specialize

to dealers

although complex, is dominated by a few of the commercial species of Dipterocarpus family or the family where all the dillerent species of the "Philippine mahogany" belong. Philippine mahogany such as tangile, red lauan, white lauan and others produced frcm mature timber offers no serious problem in merchandising. Yes, there are problems of like and dislike and of grades, but those are adjustable to commercial practices that can always be mutually agreed upon betr,veen buyer and seller. Philippine mahogany, properly handled, compares favorably in versatility of uses rvith rvcods of the same classification. It lends itself the maximum cutting utility, probably better than any hard wood of its class.

"Due to severe destruction of our cities and towns and our limited supply of buildling materials during the first year of liberation, rve had placed an embargo on our lumber. Norv, with the rapidly increasing activities, the export ban rvas lifted. The only restriction now in operation is the government requirement that all export materials must be properly graded and classified and must conform with approved grading rules. At the present the inspection is under the direction of the Bureau of Forestry and the grading rules of the National Hard Wood Association of America is generally in use, although the Bureau of Forestry has its own grading rules that are also used, depending upon the agreemer-rt of the buyer and the seller.

"There are now in operating condition over 400 sawmills with complement logging ecluipment of modern manufacture, all Arnerican make, and products of American mechanical ingenuity. We are now producing over 1 billion board feet of logs and lumber, and our production has passed our pre-\\'ar production l>y 4l/o. However, our export is only 4.3/o ol the total production. We are nor,r' in a position to continue to supply the need of this country. In advccating the introduction of "Philippine mahogany" again into this market, we are cognizant of the fact that we are doing it in a most friendly way.

"We do not mean to compete with any given rvoods in this country or other import woods, but we know that our own rvoods could be made available in this country and could find its use side by side with other woods not necessarily on a competitive basis, but because of their particular beauty, use and adaptability, they will, as have been proven, again be of service to the manufacturer here.

Vacationing Lumberman Sees Unique Sawmill in Operation

Bob Leishman, a partner and sales manager in The A. L. Hoover Company, Los Angeles, was driving through Utah on a recent vacation trip, rvhen he came upon a sawmill operation he has been telling his friends about with great interest.

It .r,vas a very tiny mill in the Utah hills. With three men for crerv it rvas manufacturing small Pine logs into tw'o and three inch planks. The equipment was different. A small motor that looked like it came from a Ford car, furnished all the power that drove the small circular saw. And the carriage was powered entirely by a Jeep. The ' front end of the Jeep was fastened to the rear end of the carriage. The log was rolled onto the carriage and held in place by dogs, a.nd then the Jeep was put in lorv gear and slowly but surely pushed the carriage forward and the log against the sau,. Then the jeep backed up, and started over. To Mr. Leishman's amazement, it worked. The log was sliced into planks, and then each plank was put on the carriage flat, and the edges sliced off, thus making the headrig the edger as well as the log cutter. That was all there was to the mill. The Jeep was also used to haul the small logs to the mill. They cut from three to five thcusand feet a day, so they told the visitor.

A recent press release of the Export-Import Bank of Washington announced that they have authorized a loan of $250,000 to the Dahican Luml:er Company, organized under the laws of the Philippine Islands, to assist in financing the development and production of Philippine mahogany and other hardwood lumber. The announcement stated that the Dahican lumber concession on the island of Ltrzon contains approximately 230 square miles of virgin hardwood forest. The conc.ession was operated before the rvar by another company, and the mal-rogany rvas introduced in the United States under the brand name "Dahican."

Not Him

The secretary welcomed her boss back to the office after his vacation period, and asked where he went.

"Well," he said, "a friend of mine invited me up to his hunting lodge, a quiet, secluded spot, no night life, no parties, not a woman within a hundred miles."

The secretary asked, "Did you have a good time?"

He glared at her in surprise. "Who went?" he snorted.

Reducing Exercises

Screen man Jack Carson, just back from a vacation, was telling some tall fishing stories. One of them was about a giant fish he landed. "My muscles of sinewy steel were more than a match for that mighty denizen of the deep," he declared. "f landed the ferocious monster after three hours struggle."

'Ferocious monster," jeered nephew Tugwell. "I saw a picture of that fish and it wasn't a foot long."

"All right," said Carson. "But remember, in three hours of fighting a fish can lose a lot of weight."

The Test

I take no man at rumor's price, Nor as the gossips cry him, A son may ride, and strike and stand, His father's eye, his father's handHis father's tongue may give command, But, ere f trust-I'll try him.

Eugene Debs

Eugene Debs was a man with whom the majority of men disagreed in many ways; yet there must have been wondrous good in him that Irving Stone should write about him in the following words:

"Ife was always tired, always underfed, needing sleep and quiet, but he never stopped; there was so much work to be done. There was no such thing as meeting him for the first time. Were you not part of humanity? Then he had always loved you. When he stood on a platform, doubled over at the waist like a jack-knife, his enormously long arms wide outstretched to reach his entire audience, as though it were one human being, to pull up against his bosom, he glowed as radiantly as a blazing stove in winter. The lonely, the blind, the unhappy, the dispossessed thronged about to warm their fingers at his fire."

Affectionctely

The two gangsters stood at the bar.

"Life sure is funny," said the first one, thoughtfully. "The boss pays me to beat up people he don't like, and yet f go round beatin' up my wife for nothin !"

The other gangster drained his glass thoughtfully. "You

beat up your wife for nothin'?" he work so cheap?"

The first gorilla shook his head. love her."

said. "Why do you "Because," he said, "I

The other day we wrote a man suggesting that he advertise in this journal, and he, being of a literary turn of mind and not wanting us to think we could sell him at the first offer, replied:

"The heights the great have won and kept, Like heaven, were not won in single bound, But they-while others dreamed and sleptWere hewing the path their feet had found."

We understood that he meant we couldn't grab him the first round, so we replied:

"You're wrong, old Scout, this is no up-hill spree, That I must fight while others bat their lids; It's easy sledding down the hill, you see?

So send an ad and help me grease the skids."

But he wasn't to be grabbed so easily, for he replied:

"The call for an ad is keen, I see, And while I am no Pharisee.

The lack of cash preventeth me, Which makes me very Sadducee."

Of course we wouldn't let him have the last word. so we wrote:

"We hate to see you Sadducee, For want of filthy lucre-e-e, So, if you'll tell your wants, you'lI seeI'll slip a little loan to thee."

He hasn't answered that one, but we don't despair. Some of these days he'll write and say:

"The yard stock market's looking fine, Timbers are not so bad, Your live wire sheet is on the line, We'll take a full page ad."

Her Mistake

"I sat down to my typewriter and wrote him a long letter, trying to get things straight between us, and I haven't heard from him since," said one steno to her friend. "So," said the friend, "you had to go and open your big typewriter and spoiled it all."

A New Hardboard

"Wcnderboard," a new hardboard that is obtained bv biending wood shavings, chips and ground wood with an artificial bonding agent, urea formaldehyde resin solution, by compressing the material in hot presses, rvill be marketed nation-wide under a program announced by the Wonderr'r'ood Corporation of Corona del Mar, Calif., at a two day conference in San Francisco on August 29 and 30.

The Bechtel Corporation, construction engineers, which is allied with the Wonderwood Corporation, has developed plans for the building of plants in the United States. The Irlaskon Division of Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co. has also supplied research assistance.

Fred Fahrni, an engineer of Zurich, Switzerland, developed the product from waste wood in 1940' Five plants are now producing the product under the name of Novopan in Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Belgium and Spain.

Wonderu'ood Corporation holds the exclrrsive rights to manufacture "Wonderboard" in the United States, Canada, South America, France, England and Italy, and negotiations are pending for other countries.

Particles contained in the board are so formed as to permit an interlacing which gives strength and yet is a sound and heat insulator. The hard surface of the board resists compression, is flexible, and permits working it into curved shapes for furniture.

It will be manufactured in standard 4 x 8' sheets, varying in thickness from tf" to ls/s", and will be made in plants u'ith one ton, two and one-half ton and five ton per hour production.

The principals in the company, and the manager of the Mountain View yard, Maurice M. Daubin, are justly proud of the new store and other improvements made at the Nlountain View yard, which was first established in 1919.

A feature of the new store is the permanent display of nany kinds of lumber and building materials. These lifesize exhibits will save much time in the future by making it easier for the customer to choose when buying for home construction or modernization.

An article with illustrations on this store will appear in an early issue of The California Lumber Merchant.
