A quick and terse report on the highlights of the lumber situation goes like this: No improvement in the transportation situation in the West, car shortage as bad as ever. Ponderosa pine market as strong as two weeks ago. Southern pine markets the same, no reduction in demand or prices. Douglas fir market in Southern California, prices a bit softer, but mostly depending on who you talk to. Most mills and wholesblers agree that prices are a little off, but no dates available for lumber delivery. Lumber still piling up in the North.

"The Defense Production Act of 1950" is the title of the nerv larv passed by Congress granting to the President authority to establish controls over credits, pri,ces and wages, labor disputes, allocations, requisitioning, priorities, financial assistance, and general provisions.
The text of the law declares that: "It is the objective of this Act to provide the Prdsident with authority to accomplish these adju3tments in the operation of the economy. It is the intention of the Congress that the President shall use the powers conferred by this Act to promote the national defense, by meeting promptly and effectively the requirements of military programs in support of our national security and foreign policy objectives, and by preventing undue strains and dislocations upon wages, prices, and production or distribution of materials for civilian use, tvithin the framework, as far as practicable, of the American system of competitive enterprise."
Under this larv the President has the authority to regulate and guide e.very kind of business, and Washington may use po\\'ers affecting the lives of every citizen, and business of every sort. Business can be told what to produce, allocations of materials can be made, and goods and services may be rationed. Military needs get first call and the Government may restrict production of anything that interferes rvith the economy of the nation. Inventories of scarce and vital materials must be held in normal quantities and the anti-hoarding provisions of the Act carries penalties, as do some other titles of the Act.
An Executive Order immediately issued under the new Defense Production Act was No. 10161, which creates a new and independent agency to be known as Economic Stabilization Agency, headed by an Administrator, to whom is transferred the business of administering the Defense Act, and to rvhom is delegated the authority given the President under the Act. The Administrator is to be appointed by the President with Senate approval.
Immediately the Council of Economic Advisors (C.E.A.) ordered all business to keep its records for the space betrveen May 24 and June 24, 1950, for the purpose of comparison.
The first new regulation that was issued after the signing
of the Defense Production Act was Consumer Credit Regulation "'W", which is much the sarne as the old Regulation "W" that expired on June 30, 1949, except that home improvement credits are now included. Not .previously cqv: ered, the new Regulation provides for a down payment oi at least I0/o, and 30 months maximum maturity on the balance, on residential repairs, alterations or improvements' involving credit of $2500 or less which are described 6y-the Regulation as:.
"Materials, articles, and services in connection with repairs, alterations and'improvements upon urban, suburban, or rural real property in connection wlth existing.structures. This does not relate to structures or distinct parts thereof, which so repaired, altered, or improved are designed exclusively for non-residential use "

"By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Defense Production Act of 1950, and as President cif the United States, and in order to provide an appropriate basis for action under Title IV of the Defense Production Act o{ 1950, it is hereby ordered:
"L Every person who sold or delivered goods or services, or offered them for sale or delivery, in the course of trade or business during the period from May 24, 195O, to June 24, 1950, inclusive, shall preserve all his records for such periods relating to:

Stanley Horn, editor of the Southern Lumberman, says that our authorities in Washington have loo&ed upon Korea as "semi-irrar," but unfortunately our men are not being semi-killed over there.

The seriousness of the Korean business, and the sad knowledge that our casualties have been heavy, interferes not in the least with the progress of "politics as usual" in Washington. Appointments, dismissals, trades, etc., give continual evidence that the drive for votes is not allowed in any way to give war or economic difficulties top billing.
Which reminds me of . OJnr"., story thit is going the rodnds. It is the year 1960 and Socialized Medicine holds sway in this country. A man wakes one morning with a terrible stomach ache, and hies him down to the Federal Clinic. He enters the front door, and finds himself facing two doors, one marked
the other "Female."
Being a man, he walks through the door marked "Male," and faces two more doors, one marked "IJnder 2!" and the other marked "Over 21." Being'fifty, he goes through the door marked "Over 21," and faces two more doors, one marked "Serious Illness," the other "Minor lllness." Since he felt he was dying, he went through the door marked "Serious lllness."
And now he faced two more doors, one marked t'Democrat," the other "Republican." Having voted the Republi-
can ticket all his life, he went through the door so marked ..... He found himself out in the alley.

Portland, Oregon, Sept. 21-(Special)-At the end of eight months of 1950, with a production of 6,863 billion board feet of lumber already cut, Douglas fir mills of Oregon and Washington appear certain to reach an all-time record of 10.5 billion feet by year end, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said today.
Produiction of 10.5 billion feet this year, Simpson stated, would be 34/o greater than the cut of 7.8 billion feet in 1946, the last year government controls were applied to industry.
A retarding factor to further production increases this year, the lumber leader pointed out, is the paralyzing freight car shortage which is costing the fir industry an estimated 60 million feet of lumber production a week. The car shortage is most severe in Oregon and Northern California where the greatest expansion in lumber production has occurred since 1946 and, where increased output would normally develop.
If the lumber can 'be shipped, Simpson forecast, the Douglas fir mills. will be able to care for all demands of military and defense, for essential industry'and still have ample quantities of lumber to supply the needs of booming home construction.
The weekly average of West Coast lumber production
in August was 241,839,000 b.f. or I47.4/a,of tht! 1945-1949 average. Orders averaged 222,384,0W b.fr; Shipmeots 206,958,000 b.f.; Weekly averages for July were: Production l 184,871,000 (112.7% of the 1945-1949 average) ; Orders 207,661,000 b.f.; Shipments 176,977,000 b.f.
Thirty-five weeks of 1950 cumulative production 6,863,301,000 b.f.; Thirty-five weeks of. 1949, 6,398,572,ffi0 b.f .;, Thirty-five weeks of L948, 6,442,942,000.
Orders for thirty-five weeks of 1950 freakdowp as follows: Rail 4,857,106,000 b.f.; Truck 359,@2,nA b.f.; Domestic Cargo 1,741,078,0A0 b.f.; Export 139,93,000 b.f.; Local 454,354,000 b.f.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 15: Stepped-up p:oduction of building materials is expected to bring supplies generally into balance with. 1' requirements for immediate use late this year, the Construction Division, U. S. Department of Commerce, reported today, in announcirg'.. that building materials output during June set a new all-time record.
The shortages 'of cement, brick, gypsum board prodqcts and some other materials that have appeared ir1 1950 have nottreen due generally to a lack of productive capacity, but to several other factors. The fact that th'e record volume of homebuilding in 1950 was not fully anticipated is one important factor. Production of a number of building materials, could have been increased more rapidly during the e:rrly months of the year if the demand had: been fully foreseen. Distribution problerns, including a shortage of railroad cars, have been responsible for some local shortages of building materials. Work'gtoppages, especially'in cement plants, have cut production at a crucial' time.
A tight supply situation for several buildiiig materials may be expected to continue through September and October, but the subsequent seasonal downturn; in construction activity should bring rebuilding of stocks by early winter if builders' purchases conform to the normal schedule in advance of actual use. Maintenanc€ of a high rate of production, as permitted by seasonal factors, through the winter would then provide fora continued large volume of construction next year.

A proud man is I3en Cheney. His o'rvn personally financed and directed semi-pro baseball team has u,on the championship of Southern Oregon for the year 1950. The name of the team is The Cheney "Studs" Baseball Team.
Mr. Cheney, as you have probably guessed, is the orvner and operator of the Cheney Lumber Company, rvhich operates lumber manufacturing plants in various places in Southern Oregon, as well as one in Northern California, and one in Tacoma, Washington, and maker of the well knorvn and advertised Cheney "Studs." While the headquarters of the various Cheney lumber concerns is in Tacoma, most of the production of lumber, rvhich totals from five to seven hundred thousand feet daily, is from Southern Oregon mills. The Burns Lumber Co., of Los
in California for tr,r'enty years.
Mr. Cheney's hobby is baseball. He eats and sleeps baseball. In his earlier years it was his ambition to be a big league baseball player, but fate decreed that he should become a prosperous and successful manufacturer of fir lumber instead. But he kept his baseball interest ah,vays. Some of his best personal friends are big league baseljall men from the Epst, and he goes East in the fall to see some of the big g'ames. And he still plays part time ball on his own baseball team. You rn'ill find him with the rest of the team in the accompanying picture. He puts on his uniform and plays with the team as often as business allows throughout the season.

Sacramento, Sept. 19.-The housing boom that has made During the last three years,'California,rwith one-four. California far and away the nation's leading homebuilding teenth of the nation's population, has briilt more than onestate. shows no sign of letup for at least three years.
A State Finance Department report released today surveying the situation says the more than 80,000 marriages each y.ear, the "undoubling" of families from relatives' homes and the many newcomers to the state will sustain the boom.
And the prospect is that in 1950 the state will shatter its own 1948 housing record-even in view of building curtailments which may come because of the Korean war.
In 1948, the state began 200,000 units valued at $1,450,000,000.
Activity for the first six months of this year indicates the 1950 total will be about 240,0@ units valued at $1,750,000,000.
Since the war, 864,000 new homes have been started in the state.
In 1947 and 1948, California had new housing valued at' about three times that of New York-the second ranking state, which has a population in excess of 3,000,000 more people than California.
And last year, home construction in this state was greater than the combined 17 state total of the New England, west north central and east south central region of the United States.
sixth of the nation's new homcs. -
This terrific boom is having a he-alth$ i/npact on the state's economy. It is a $1,750,000,000 a4nual industry employing directly 150,000 workers aird ''at least twice that many indirectly in such fields 5b insurance) real estate,' building supplies and furhiture..

over the McCormick lumber interests, Wickersham'w€flt'fr:ght along, and in 1935 he was m.ade District M4nager of their Lumber Division covering Southern California, which position he held until the time of his voluntary retirement on September 3fth.
It should be told of M.r. Wickershbm that the high light of his business career was his pioneering of creosoted lumber and other wooden items in Southern California. At the time he started introducing these treated, materials to the retail lumber trade, treated wood was entirely unknown io the bulk of lumber dealers, and they had to fe convinced. He built a tremendous volume of this line of business,,and even to thib day his record sales for creos'oted and'otherwise treated wood, challenges comparison. His greatest busiriess success by far, was along this line of endeavor.
A famous old popular song says that""A good man is hard to find."
Effective October first a certain good man-a very good man-is going to be hard to find in the lumber business for the first time in 34 years. ,IIis name is W. B. Wickersham. He retired from business on the last day of September, still fairly young, still in rugged health and able 'to enjoy his de: clining years to the fullest.
He has been District Manager of the Lumber Division of Pope & Talbot, Inc., in I-os Angeles, since 1935. He was with this concern and its predecessor lor 34 years. In fact, his entire lumber career has been with these excellent people.
He graduated from Purdue University in 1909, and came to Southern California two years later. In i916 he started in the lumber business as boqkkeeper for the San Pedro Stevedqring Compar-ry, which was the dock operating end of Chas. R. McCormick & Company. One year later John Olson, Sales Manager for McCormick, recognized the friend-making possibilities of the youthful Wickersham, and started him selling lumber in Los Angeles territory. After a few years this concern put him to specializing, concentrating his efforts on th€ sale and prqmotion of creosoted material to the railroad and public utility industries. When Pope & Talbot, Inc., took
His fult name is William Bailey Wickersharn. But to.the lumber industry in general as well as to his multitude of personal'friends he has always been familiarly and.affectionately known as "Wick." About thirty years ago he beqame interested in Hoo-I{oo, and from that day on he was a stalwart, helpful, working member of the Order. He put into it that spendid type of friendliness and character that makes him a man among men, and it broadened and deepened his legion of friends in the lumber industry. At times he served as Snark of the Los Angeles district, as well as President of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club, and always he was one of the willing workers so necessary to the up-kbep. of Hoo-Hoo.
He is a Mason, a member of the l-os Angeles Athletic Club, one of the trustees of \Mhittier College, at Whittier, California, and from 1944 to 1949 he was head of the'American Friends Service Committee, handling a relief program both locally and abroad. ' i'
-He makes his home in Whittier, where he has an avocado grove, and from this time on he is going to take it easy, raise avocados, and devote himself in his quiet-way to serving his fellow man. No finer, more high-mindedlChristian gentle' man ever worked in the lumber indus(1y. For 34 years his work, his character, and his manner of living, reflected the highest credit on himself, his ernployers, and the lurnber industry.
The good will and best wishes of all who know him in the lumber industry go with him in his new life. Able, honorable, useful, lovable men.like '1Wick" are .scarce. Therefore his retirement from active btisiness is entitled to more than passing mention.

The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce has gone on record as opposing proposed Port of Los Angeles Tariff, 3, which would increase wharfage rates on virtually all commodities moving through the harbor. The proposed increases were'recommended by the Board of Harbor Commissioners, and must be approved by the Los Angeles City Council in order to become effective.
Authorizing increases in wharfage from 25 cents to 50 cents a ton on intercoastal, foreign and offshore traffic, and a lesser increase from 1.5 cents to 25 cents a ton on Pacific coastwise traffic, the tariff represents an increase in wharfage of 100% and 65/o, respectively.
Lesser increases on copra, bananas, borates, cement, coffee, fresh fruit, three-gauge iron or steel pipe, and lumb er also were approved.
Pilotage charges wouldbe upped by 33L/s/o and, a new charge of $5 a movement would be assessed for shifting vessels.
The new increases are practically the same as proposed in March, 1949, which were protested against and circumvented at that.time by the Chamber, steamship companies and shippers.
"Not having time to build dry sheds, we constructed teinporary shelters at the Rounds & Kilpatrick Lumber Co., Cloverdale, Calif., by stacking green stock 4 units high and 20 and 26 f.eet apart depending on the width of shed needed," said John W. Rhoda, mbnager, recently.
"Small timbers were laid across the tops of these drying piles and lO oz. canvas waterproof duck' stretched over them. The cost per square Joot of cover space was less than 25( per foot, anil they proved successful for this type of shed. The tops were anchored down with wire struts, but might have trouble in a high wind.
"We were able to keep a million feet out of the sun and rain with this device. The walls usually get dry every six rnonths and become salable. so the sheds must be rebuilt periodically."

Mr. Rhoda also passes along the following information to those who may be interested.
"A cheap type of gutter can be made for shed roofs by nailing 2 pieces of 1x6#3 onto a piece of 1x10..Use scabs of 1x6 18' long to connect the sections. Set these on brackets with the best slope possible. Cut a roll of 65# roofing paper into l8,' lengths and lay the full 33 feet in the trough. Start at the low end. I-ap the next length 3 feet and so on. Put as few nails in as possible as the expansion of the paper in hot weather will wrinkle it. Use cleats across the top or'tack a light strip alopg the outside top edge, with nails about 4 feet apart,"

Freedom
Men ! Whose boast it is that ye Come of fathers brave and free, If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave?
If ye do not feel the chain
When it works a brother's pain, Are ye not base slaves, indeed, Slaves unworthy to be freed?
Is true freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake, And, with leathern hearts, forget That we owe mankind a debt?
No ! True freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear, And, with heart and hand, to be Earnest to make others free.
They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, scoffing and abuse.
Rather than in silence shrink
For the truth they needs must think: They are slaves who dare not be In the right with
Lower.
There lvas once a destitute concert violinist who lived in poverty in a tenement. Every day he'd watch in disgust while a roaming musician stopped and fiddled-very badly -outside the tenement windows. As he sawed away, windows would open, and the tenants would shower him with wads of money.
Finally the concert violinist got so desperate he decided to try it himself. lle rendered a magnificent selection of his most brilliant and difficult tunes, but collected o,nly a few cents. Bewildered, he stopped his inferior competitor next 'day, and asked how come?
It's easy to'explain," said the other amiably. "You also got to be a bookmiker."
Man is incomprehensible without nature, and Nature is incomprehensible without man.

W. Mabie.

"I certainly would," said the bartender. "Tell me how?"

The judge was quite deaf, and so were the two men who were appearing before him. One of them said:
"Judge, this man owes me a gfocery bill amounting to twenty dollars, and he refuses to pay it."
The second man jumped to his feet, and shouted, "That's a lie ! My dog did not bite him."
The judge said, "Gentlemen, after hearing your remarks, I think I understand just how you both feel, and yet, I see no reason why you should not combine to suPport your aged mother."

Tuolumne City, California, September 15: Encouraging reports were made today by Fred Ellis, president of the West Side Lumber Company here, concerning hopes for salvaging at least a large portion of the 24,ffi0 acre tract of commercial timber that was swept by fire from September 3 to 10. The fire was perhaps the worst in all California forest history, there being an estimated 110,000,000 feet of commercial timber on the tract ravaged by fire in the Stanislaus Naional Forest area.
Ellis said yesterday preliminary estimates show as much as 50,0ffi,000 board feet of company timber rvas burned. Salvage operations are scheduled to start today with the beginning of repairs on the railroad, of which 26 miles were in the fire area and are at least paitially destroyed.
"By this time next year, f think we will have most of the burned over timber logged and some of it in lumber and even some in houses," Ellis said.
It will cost the company between $150,000 and $200,000 to repair its railroad, move a logging camp and build access roads into the burned over areas belonging to the company, he pointed oui.
Asked for an estimate on West Side losses in the worst fire in Tuolumne County history, Ellis said he cannot hazard a guess at this time because timber cruises and surveys of the area are not complete.
Meanwhile the United States Forest Service is making plans for salvage operations of the rest of the timber in the fire region, Fo:est Service officials said yesterday. Details of the plans are not yet ready and estimated losses in the fire ..will not be determinable until the service has made studies of the amount of salvageable timber. Costs of fire suppression are also in the process of accounting.
Best available estimates of the amorlnt of timber in the 24,000-acre burned area indicate 100,0C0,000 board feet of timber were burned in varying degrees in the fire rvhich broke out September 3 and burned out of control until September 9.
Of this total footage, more than 50,000,000 board feet are considered me:chantable. But both lumber company ancl
Forest Service officials point out the major loss is in young forest growth which would have provided for future timber land.
Some of the area was logged over by West Side and otfrcr firms in the past 50 years, but most of the.reproduction of^ those lands was destroyed. A great deal of virgin timber in forests never logged by man also was burned, including valuable sugar pine and a lot .of Ponderosa pine.
Ellis said repair n'ork will begin immediately from both sides of the burn with some crews working from Tuolumne City and others working back from Camp 45 at the end of the railroad in the Cherry Valley countrl'.
Facilities and equipment at Camp 45 'will be movecl shortly to Camp 8, nearest Tuolumne City. to serve as a logging base for salvaging timber, estirnated at 9,000,000 board feet in the Casa Madera, Basin Creek headwaters and Mt. Provo area.
Speaking exclusively aboui the salvage of companvowned timber, Ellis said his men also will try. to build a road in the Duckwall Mountain lands to salvage as much timber, including much sugar pine, as soon as possibte. He said he hopes to see between 10,0O0,000 and 12,000,0@ board feet of timber salvaged this year before the end of logging season.
Meanvvhile 2,500,000 board feet of cut timber lying reidy for transportation at Camp 45 will be taken back to the mill for sawing into lumber.
Roads will be built northward from Camp 8, southivard from the railroad's l4-mile posts to Quilty Mill and south. ward from l6-Y on the railroad to the Duckwall Mountain area.
Ellis said that the burned and dead trees must be logged within one year in order to cut them before rnoisture stains the wood or destructive insects ,cause serious damage.
"Of course the bugs will get in there but I think we will beat them to it. We have lost quite a bit and it is going to cost this company a lot of money. But I think tve can salvage most of the burned timber, except, of course, rvhel'e the fire burned hottest.l'

The addresses by forceful speakers point to historic developments for the lumber industry.
Snark Now 10th Man-New Nine
The convention committee on Legislation discussecl changing the status of the Snark of the Universe to make him the 10th man on the'board of directors to be Chairman of the Supreme body, consisting of nine men, with no vote except in case of a tie. Under this proposal the Snark of the Universe shall be elected from the members at large and each of the Nine Jurisdictions shall elect a representative on the Supreme Nine. This necessitated the creating of a new member with a new title, namely Supreme HooHoo. It was voted to tr:y this plan for the coming HooHoo year and then to submit same for final adoption or rejection at the next annual convention.
Another radical change was ddopted providing for the election of one member of the Board of Councillors frorn outside the regular limits now provided for by the articles of incorporation of the Order and that the president of the Board of Councillors shall be the retiring Snark of the Universe. t
These two major changes in method"and procedure were factors in the election of the Snark of the ljniverse and the Supreme Nine, and resulted in the follorving selections.

On the above, 7 lvere re-elected having served on last year's Supreme Nine. The new men elected ale John B. Egan, John H. Dolcater, and Clifford Schorling. The retiring Snark Martin T. Wiegand, was elected as President of the Board of Councillors, at the, meeting of the Supreme Nine, held immediately at the close of the convention.
At the opening of the convention, the assembly was shocked and grieved to learn of the suddeh death of HooHoo President Jones, who had died the day before entraining to attend the convention. Snark Wiegand presided and paid fitting tribute to his memory. President Jones' death made necessary determining his successor. Ife was a member of the group that carried out the reor-
ganization of Hoo-Hoo, and his name is listed with the Hoo-Hoo immortals.
The registration approached the 300 mark and all 9 geographical Jurisdictions of the United States and Canada were represented. The 80 Hoo-EIoo Clubs throughout' Hoo-Hoo sent delegates.
Both the reports of Secretary B. F. Springer,,and. Treas-' urer W. M. Wattson, g'ave evidence of a Successful year in growth of members, activities and finances. The report showed a total membership of 8593, and 109 concats held, as compared to 90 the previous year. The Order is now assigning numbers to new members beginning with 54375. New clubs organized' the past year included: Hutchinson, Kansas; Omaha, Nebraska; Santa Rosa, California; Richmond,' Virginia; Montgomery, Alabama; Santa Barbara, California; Gurdon, Arkansas and Seattle, Washington.
Outstanding addresses challenged the'interest and serious ,consideration of the members attending the buqiness meetings. Noteworthy was the address of A. G. Hall, Forest Relations Counsel to the Natipnal Lumber Manufacturers Association who chose as his "subject "Trees for Today and Tomorrow." IIe emphasized what the free enterprise system can and is doing. He said in part: "It is my sinceqe belief that the pace of forestry progress under the free enterprise system is moving ahead so rapidly that national goals in timber production will be achieved more quickly rvithout federal interference and federal controls.
"The advances of the past 1O years, of the past 5O years, show what the free enterprise system can do rvith what r.vas a dwindling forest resource. We. still have a backloi; of one trillion, six hundred billion board feet of standing saw-timber-more than enough to. r4eet any emergency de= ,mands for years. The industry rcan continue to operate at high levels of production, and is well on its way to assur- " ing the nation of a sustained timber economy throughout ' the application of sound forestry measures. Yes, there are trees for today: and there will be trees for tomorrow."
Ormie C. Lance, secretary of the National Woodwork I\[anufacturers Association,' fnc. described and explained the Wood Window Promotion Campaign launched in 1950, by the principal producers of pine lumber and millrvork, for telling the public about the superior qualities of lrood windows and sash.

I-et's work together with government to the end that its controls may be wisely planned and in conclusion : We need to reduce costs; we need to look for new methods ; we need to have the home, folk on our side; we must work with government to bring : common sense into the handling of business; cohtrols mugt
Two subjects received consideration by the delegates. On the subject of Jurisdictional boundaries a committee was authortzed to study the possibility of extending Jurisdictions now bounding on Canada into the Canadian area, and so doing arvay rvith the original Jurisdiction as norv limited to Canada. A suggested Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Hoo-Hoo, Gurdon, Arkansas at an early date, was favorably considered and a committee was appointed to plan for such a meeting at the birthplace of Hoo-'Hoo.
The business and social. sessions of tJre Convention were well attended. The Harry L. Folsom Hoo-Hoo Club No. 13 of Boston were hosts, ably aided and abetted by the other Hoo-Hoo Clubs in Jurisdiction No. 1. Words of commendation and appreciation go to the officers, to Robert J. Stalker, member of the Supreme Nine, head of the Boston Jurisdiction and the Convention Chairman U. M. Carlton. The ladies were royally entertained bv the committee headed by Mrs. Donald B. Hyde.
The business sessions closed with the Embalming of the Old'Snark and the welcome to the new Snark under the direction of the Seer of the House of Ancients, C. D. LeMaster. The convention closed with a banquet, 100 per cent attendance, u,ith Stanley F. Horn, acting as toastmaster.
Miami in 1951
Miami had previously been selected as the convention city for 1951. The delegation of the Florida clubs again had an opportunity to assure all delegates of a royal welcome in Miami in 1951. There were several bids for 1952 and a test vote seemed to favor Denver for that year. A definite decision u'ill be given at an early m.eeting of the Supreme Nine. The convention committee for 1951 was authorized to change the dates to fit conditions which may arise but September 9th is to be observed by all local HooHoo Clubs as the annual Hoo-Hoo Day.

He has this message for veterans in the building material industry: "At this time there are many veterans connected with the lumber and building material industry who are not members of the Lumbermen's Post. We wish to invite every one of theSe men to join our organization, which meets on the second Wednesday in the month at the Mayfair Hotel, Los Angeles."
The annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association will be held at the Shamrock Hotel, Houston, Texas, on October 8-12, 1950.

Under the Defense Production Act, Section 601, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is authorized to exercise consumer ,credit controls, and the Board has issued Consumer Credit Regulation "W", effective September 18, 1950. In this 22 page booklet the rules and regulations covering installment selling are laid down in detail. Group A is the automobile group exclusively, calling for at least one-third down payment rvith 2l
months to pay the biLlance. Group B is the household group including stoveli, ranges, dishwashers, ironers, refrigerators and food freezers, washing and clothes drying machines, air conditioners, radio and television sets, sewing machines and suction cleaners, all designed for household use; on this group the down payment is 15 per cent minimum with 18 months to pay the balance. Group C is household furniture an<l furnishings, on which the minimum down payment is 10 per cent with 18 months to pay balance. Group D covers residential repairs, alterations, and improvements, including materials, articles, and services, previously mentioned, on which the minimum down payment is l0 per cent, with 30 months time limit to pay the balance. Delails can be had from any Federal Reserve Branch Bank.
Another immediate outgrowth of the new Defense Production Act was the ,:stablishment of the National Production Authority in the Commerce Department at Washington, presided over by Secretary Charles Sawyer, and created for the purpose of administering priority, allocation, and inventory controls delegated to that Department by the President. Secretary Sawyer appointed William Henry Harrison to the office of Administrator of the new NPA. Mr. Harrison is president of the International Telephone & Telegraph Corporation, from which he takes leave of absence for the duration of this assignment.
