Portland, Oregon, September 20-(Special)-Shipments.and production of Douglas fir lumber through the first 35 weeks of 1951 indicate mills of the region may be headed' for their biggest year in history, topping 1950's all-time record highs..

Harris E. Smith, secretary of West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said shipments through August total 7.505 billion board feet, compared with 7.011 billion feet'for eight months last year. Production totals of 7.595 billion feet top last year's record cut of 6.863 billion feet.

Smith said there is more Douglas fir lumber produced in this region, than any other species of lumber in the nation.

The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production in August was 221,781,000 b.f. or l23.4To of the 1946-1950 average. Orders averaged 195,365,000 b. f ; Shipme nts,

OPS Interprets Effects of Freight Rate Increase

A general interpretation of the effect of recent freight increases on ceiling prices has been issued by the Office of price Stabilization for the information of sellers operating under price regulations.

Text of the interpretation (General Interpretation 3, issued) follows:

"A number of sellers have inquired as to whether they may add to their ceiling prices the increases in railroad rates recently authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission (Ex Parte 175, August 2,l95l).

"fnclusion of freight in ceiling prices is determined by the specific regulation which may be applicable to the seller, ancl increases in freight rates may be added to a ceiling price only where such regulation permits this addition. With respect to sellers under the General Ceiling Price Regulation; Interpretation I under GCPR, issued April 9, 1951, states that increases in freight may be passed along to the purchaser only in the situations specified and only in connection with outbounrl freight charges."

(NOTE: Interpretation 1, referred to here, establishes as a general rule that sellers may add freight increases to their GCPR ceiling prices only where a ceiling price was established on an f.o.b. basis or where the ceiling price, in limited situations, is a delivered price reflecting the actual cost of the freight.)

"fnasmuch as the increases allowed by the ICC could become effective only after August 2, 1951, such freight rate increases would not constitute a cost increase which much be reflected in ceiling prices under Section 104 (e) of the Defense Production Act Amendments of 1951, which provides that certain cost increases occurring prior to July 26, 1951, must be reflected in ceiling prices.

"It is the policy of the Office of price Stabilization to afiord relief to sellers where cost increases would result in inequities, and various of the regulations issued provcide for adjustments in certain cases. Freight costs would constitute ,,costs', under these adjustment provisions and may, in appropriate case:;, provide a basis for relief under the applicable regulations."

Controlled Materials "ln Builder's Inventory"

National Production Authority has issued a new interpretation of its construction regulations of August 3, dealing u,ith the use of materials in the possession of a builder.

This interpretation explains that if a prime contractor prior to October I has in his possession, or has held for his account by another, his requirements of controlled materials for the completion of a building, he may use the materials at any time, providing he conforms to the copper and aluminum restriction provisions of NPA Order M-4A. It means that if a builder has ordered his controlled materials, and the distributor has them earmarked for him so that no other person may receive them, the materials are technically in the builder's ,,Inventory" or "possession." Simply stated, engaged materials in the hands of a distributor will be considered to be in the possession of

the builder who engaged them for the purposes of construction regulations.

The full interpretation reads: "With respect to construction other than Table I construction or multiunit residential construction, if prior to Oct. 1, 1951, a prime'contractor has in his possession or has held for his account by another, his requirements of controlled materials for the completion of the building, and does not require delivery after Sept .30, 1951, of controlled materials in quantities in excess of the appropriate bmount specified in Schedule I to Direction I to CMp Regula. tion 6, he may use such material so held in his possession o, for his account at any time in his construction job, provided he conforms to Section 7 of NPA Order M-4A. and to anv other restrictions on use of materials contained in other Ni'A orders."

Home Owners Promised Tax Break Under Pending Tax Bill

Owners of homes, who sell those homes at a profit and ther.r use the profit for buying another home at the same or a higher price, will be tax-exempt on the profit on the old home under the new federal tax law. This has been approved by the Ifouse and Senate committees, and is almost certain to be sustained in the final law. The present law imposes the capital gains tax on the profit a home owner makes by selling his

"What has destroy"d t;.;y lnd the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia, or the aristocrats of a Venetian senate."-Thomas Jefferson.

"A pack of lies" i, th" ;r;. ir."id.rrt Truman recently used when denying in a public address the well nigh universal opinion of Americans that there is shocking waste, extravagance, and inefficiency in the operation of our federal government. You will hear that opinion expressed from every lip, and read it in nearly every newspaper throughout the land-North, East, South, or West. So, .Mr. Truman lashed out with his customary violent t5pe of diplomacy, aganist that opinion as being ,.a pack of lies."

rt will be rememb.r.J ,ri". i"n.r, they caught Atger Hiss, a high man in the State Department, red-handed and traitorous, Mr. Truman waited not on the evidence. "A red herring," he snapped out publicly; .,a red herring of the strongest type of smell." But Alger Hiss was as guilty as hell, and is now serving a term in prison.

Then one of his own party and usually a party-line man, Senator Fulbright of Arkansas, rose before the Senate and reported with bowed head and saddened face that his committee had discovered greed, corruption, and moral decay in government circles, particularly in RFC. Said Fulbright: "Morality in government has declined to the lowest ebb in the nation's history. The American people are deeply ashamed and rightly disturbed."

And Mr. Truman, when he heard of it, snapped out: "Asinine!" We all know now, and are continually learning more of how right Mr. Fulbright was. The new and honorable head of RFC is still finding and kicking the chiselers off the premises. The record is like the dead Banquo-it will not down. **>F

Now the public has been told with force and emphasis that the reports of huge, open, and notorious waste of the

taxpayers'money which have appeared in most of the ne\,espapers and magazines of the land and which are on the lip of Mr. and Mrs. American wherever you find them, are ,.a pack of lies." Naturally the reaction to that statement came fast and furious, and as f write this piece I have on the desk beside me enough facts and figures disproving the "pack of lies" statement to fill a large sized bible. They all contend and offer facts and figures to prove .,it aint no lie," and there is monumental waste, extravagance, inefficiency, and stupidity in the handling of the taxpayers, mone'' * r< *

It would seem only necessary to call attention to a few solid and unassailable facts and figures to answer Mr. Truman's statement. Like these: Between the fiscal years of 1946 to 1949 the Truman administration spent more money than all the preceding national administrations combined up to World War Two, which includes 8 years of Franklin D. Roosevelt's spending; and Franklin, you will recall, was no green hand when it came to getting rid of other people's money. **'*

The 32 Presidents from Washington through Roosevelt's second term spent a total of. $179,620,000,000, while Truman, from the beginning of the fiscal year 1946 to September, 1949, spent $191,081,000,000. And the expenditures prior to the third Roosevelt administration included those for the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World War One. ***

President Truman has twice as many people working in the White flouse yard, as President Tom Jefferson had in his State Department.

Recently the president of the American fnstitute of Accounts, Mr. T. Coleman Andrews, a man highly esteemed in his profession, appeared before the Senate Committee on Executive Expenditures in Washington, and gave some interesting testimony. He offered many proofs of government waste and inefficiency. For example, he told of one

government organization that spent 9408,000 buying $4,_ 800,000 worth of goods. He said a good private purchas_ ing department would buy twice that amount of stuff for about one-eighth that amount of expense. He said that all government agencies and departments are badly overstaffed, and that one employee out of every five could be let go, and the remainder would do a better job.

The Los Angeles Times of September 15, 1951, gave some interesting figures editorially. It quoted the Council of State Chambers of Commerce as furnishing the following information: Since the start of the Korean war the Ar^i has purchased 68,000,0(X) can openers, or more than 45 can openers for every man in the Army; Army Ordinance dis_ rupted the paint market by purchasing 6,0fl),000 gallons of ' paint in small cans instead of customary big containers, and demanding a year's supplj, in 60 days; between July 1950 and March 1951 the Army euartermaster Depart_ ment bought 1,917,000 pounds of black pepper. Another small example to show which way the waste wind blows, the Times tells about the State Department requesting $24,87 5 to provide a series of luncheons for visiting foreign students. There were to be lZ5 such luncheqrs for 14 to 18 persons each, and the tab figures out to be $g.23 a plate.

The other day I listened to a speech made by a very prominent man, a transplanted Louisianian who is Secretary of the Southern California Committee for the Hoover Re_ port. He calmly related dozens of examples of the fearful jump in the cost of government in the last ten or eleven ye:rrs. He is Wm. H. Courtney, a thoroughly reliable and respected gentleman, and his figures seemed like a night_ mare. ffow various of the larger bureaus in Washington jumped ten times and even more in size in ten years, is decidedly shocking. But Mr. Tr-uman says all these stories are a "pack of lies." Of course Senator Byrd, of Virginia, immediately issued a lot of figures contradicting those of Mr. Truman, but f have not space for them here.

rn brief Senator "rru."";, l,ftr. "ota factual figures show that in the fiscal year 1946 when we were at the peak of World War Two, we spent only $3,600,000,000 for non_ defense purposes. In 1948 the president asked for and got $6,100,000,000 for non-defense spending. This year, with military requirements calling for retrenchment in every other field to avoid inflation, the president has asked for $9,800,000,000 for non-military purposes. This is a third greater than in peacetime l94g and two_and_ahalf times the amount found to be essential in the previous military expansion period." ***

And, from a recent bulletin of the National Retail Lum_ er Dealers Association, comes the following along this same line: "ft is too early to tell just how much Federal expenditures will have been reduced by Congress, because some appropriation bills are pending and because there are sure to be some supplementary appropriations later on. But Gene Ebersole sends us from Texas a comparison of expenditures by non-defense agencies of the government

for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1940, and June 3e 1950. The Commerce Department, for example, went up from $75 million to $863 million; Interior from $71 million to $568 million; Labor from gt9 million to g25Z million; State from $Zt million to $361 ririllion. All in all, expenditu:es for non-defense purposes rose from $3.5 'tillion to $11.2 billion.

:F**

I think we should take a look at the other side of the picture, even though there is only one shining example to be found on the side of economy and interest in the taxpayer. I can't help wondering what the rest of the Bu_ reaucrats think of Lindsay Warren? you see, Lindsay is the head bookkeeper for the United States of America, and he knows more than anyone else about the cost of our government. He is a good Democrat, used to be Congress_ man from "Nawth Calina" before he got the job of Comp_ troller General in charge of the General Accounting Office, and he appeared before the Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments recently, also.

{<t<*

Since reading his testimony concerning the development of high efficiency in his own big department, with the accompanying reduction in personnel and in cost, I have been wondering how he dare travel among the Bureaus unguarded. You know why? This man, at a time when the other branches of government were mushrooming and expand_ ing in all directions and armies of new employees were being added to the federal payrolls; and when the amount of work in his own department was vastly increased, he committed the unforgivable sin-he cut expenses. yes sir, in New Deal Washington that sin is unforgivable, and, let me add, practically unheard of.

Yes sir, in the midst ; ;" lrt"rorr""t payrofl padding that has been going on in Washington, he cut his office force from 14,904 people in 1946, to 6959 in 1951, and improved the service and efficiency. He told about abolishing an entire division in his department, letting 325 people go, and replacing them with 69 people who are doing a better job than was done before. He said that constant surveys of his department enabled him to accomplish such wonders. The one just quoted is only a sample of how he more than cut his force in two, at the same time taking on tremendous volumes of new work created by the expanding government. ***

He is like the rooster in the old story who rolled the ostrich egg into the barnyard where the hens could see it, and said to them, "I just want to show you what can be done." But, you know something, Junior, I'll lay you six, two, and even, no limit and no holds barred, that there will be little if any effort made to follow his example. He said himself that most of the department heads consider cutting down payrolls as simple political suicide. **

And now that the defense efrort is swinging into high gear, the air and the public prints are filled with storiis concerning the profusion of over-loaded payrolls. you will hear and read that when the government needs one man

Western Pine Meeting Hears Market Due For Upturn

Portland, Sept. 7-The lumber market is due for an upturn in three or four months, some 200 Western Pine lumberrnen heard today as they concluded a two-day semi-annual meeting of the Western Pine association here.

President Walter S. Johnson of San Francisco, head of the American Box Corporation, said the effects of defense work and recent credit control relaxations will be felt by early 1952. He pointed out that the lumber market is now well below OPS ceilings, "and there isn't much need for price control." He added, however, that when the expected market upswing occurs, price control might become effective.

Johnson was one of three featured speakers at the final day's session of the association meetings. S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager, urged lumbermen to utilize industry statistics. "Properly interpreted and applied," he said, "they can be of clefinite value to the individual lumberman, particularly in a period of adjustment such as we are experiencing today."

The visiting pine officials, gathered here from 12 western states, heard assistant secretary-manager W. E. Griffee of Portland report that the summer slump in home construction throughout the country has brought a sharp downturn in order volume to many companies, particularly to those not equipped to ship mixed cars. Cther companies, he said, have gone right along so far with little or no change in volume of shipments.

Citing three factors partially offsetting the effects of slumping home construction on western pine markets, Griffee reported that retail inventories are probably now down to a point rvhere rnost dealers must buy lumber as fast as they sell it. He said that heightened industrial activity will demand more box and crating lumber and that wet weather in the south had reduced the supply of dry southern pine boards.

In a progress report on forest management of private lands under the association's Tree Farm program, president Johnson told the pine men that 22 Tree Farms embracing over 106,000 acres had been added this year. "This brings our total certified acreage to well over 3,800,000," he said.

The association's board of directors approved a series of committee reports on grading, research, forestry, promotion,

statistics and traffic activities. Most significant report to the lumber trade was a grading committee action, approved by the board, adding a new grade to 4/4 (inch) factory lumber, re. defining standard mouldings and reducing allowable lengths of I-arch-Douglas Fir selects. All changes become effective October 1, 1951.

The group separated 4/4 Shop into two grades-4/4 No. 1 Shop and 4/4 No.2 Shop. 4/4 No. 1 Shop may be 4 inches wider instead of 5 inches and wider and each piece is to contain from 50 to 70 per cent of cuttings of the quality described in the rules for factory lumber. Cuttings 4 inches wide or wider and 3 feet long or longer are to grade C Select or better.

4/4 No. 2 Shop is to consist of Shop type pieces which contain not less than 33 l/3 per cent of cuttings of the size and quality permissible in 4/4 No. I Shop. Rules for 4/4 Factory Select (No. 3 Clear) remain the same.

Standard mouldings will permit such defects as are usable for both interior and exterior trim. Allowable lengths remain the same. The change was made to eliminate confusion with larger defects in bevel siding, to which previous moulding rules were linked.

Standard lengths of I-arch-Douglas Fir selects were reduced to 4 feet and longer with 3 per cent of 4 foot and 5 foot permitted.

The pine lumbermen also reviewed plans for a new 16 rnm. color film, study of arabogalactan (a potential domestic replacement, extracted from Larch trees, for gum arabic) bv the association's research laboratory, progress in blue stain control, utilization of low grade lumber, and a cooperative campaign in promotion of wood windows.

NRLDA Reports on Home Building Situation

Washington, D.C., September 13 :

Last week we referred to the new type of confusion in Washington. Then we sat down and took a look at the Nation's bulletins to the industry over the past several months reporting rules and regulations coming from OPS, NPA, CMP, Wage Stabilization and so on, and we thought to ourselves maybe some of this new type of confusion and old type of confusion exists in the industry in respect to these rules and regulations.

Telephone conversations with leaders of the industry verified this confusion, but also encourage us to believe that while the industry is trying to understand the rules and regulations, trying to live up to them, at least in their major aspects, they are not concerning themselves and don't have time to concern themselves with the detail. If Washington can't make it clear how can the individual citizen understand them?

Business is good apparently-for the retail lumber dealers. Not as good as in 1950 by any means, but generally equal to 1949, a good year, but not the heavy year that 1950 was.

Continued Washington alarms about steel, copper and aluminum and their availability haven't apparently too greatly affected the construction operations in which our industry is interested. The real pinch here is apparently yet to come.

Today we get the August housing starts figures. 85,000, of which 84,600 were private housing starts. This rnakes the total for the first eight months of 1951 758,500 housing starts. We will hit a million sure this year.

Mortgage money and credit terms are still the retarding factors, as they were supposed to be. Two opposite viewpoints appeared on the mortgage front this week. The Savings and l,oan people announced that mortgage money would become more plentiful because personal savings were increasing, but the Mortgage Bankers, meeting in San Francisco, held to the view that the mortgage outlook continues to be very tigl-rt for reasons they have previously advanccd. The diilerence ir viewpoint is explained by the fact that these groups get their funds from different sources, so both groups are correct as far as their own operations are concerned. Talks with our people verify the Building and I-oan statements; namely, building and loan money is apparently generallv available, but of course the terms are not the easiest ories.

Talks with those in the field indicate that in many areas our dealers are doing a VA business on the direct loan authorizations again made possible by reason of the recent passage of the Defense Housing Act.

NPA already is giving thought to a possible cutback in housing in 1952, to some point below the 850,000 target which Charles E. Wilson set up some months ago. Any cutback would, of course, be due to a fear that there would not be enough critical materials for that much residential construction.

Originally, it had been thought that housing volume could be controlled rather closely by manipulating the credit controls, but the low-cost housing terms which Congress wrote into the Defense Housing Bill tie the hands of NPA and HHFA in that price class.

An HHFA ofifrcial said that, if it became necessary to holci housing starts next year down below 850,000 units, it probably would be necessary to abandon the self-certification plan and, instead, put in a permit system. But he had just finished saying that HHFA had talked NPA out of requiring permits tor housing on the grounds that HHFA just couldn't handle the great volume of applications which would result. More confusion.

Conservation officials confirm the fact that little consideration will be given to applications for authority to proceed rvith commercial, industrial and multi-family projects unless the ;rpplicants have adopted the "recommended" methods of conserving materials.

Since most pending applications were submitted before those "recommendations" ,were made public, many applicants may find it necessary to make some changes in the plans and their applications.

A flood of protest from back home turned the tide against taxation of co-operatives at the last minute in the Senate Finance Committee. An attempt will be made to restore the co-op tax when the bill comes up on the floor next week, but unless there is an equally great protest against dropping the tax it appears unlikely that the roposal will get back in the bill.

Housing Volume Continues High in August

Homebuilders started 85,000 new permanent nonfarm dwelling units in August, a slight decline from July, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Private housing starts increased by about 3 per cent to 84,600, but the gain was more than offset by a drop in the number of public units started during the month. Virtually all sections of the country showed some rise in private housing activity.

In spite of the restrictive effects of Regulation X, the volume of housing starts during the first 8 months of 1951 (758,500 units) has exceeded that of the comparable period of any year on record, with the exception of the peak year 1950. The continuing high volume of residential building activity and the recent relaxation of credit restrictions makes it seem likely that the Government's original goal of 850,000 housing starts for 1951 will be greatly exceeded to make 1951 another 1 fr)0,000_unit year.

Northwest Logging Industry Meets With OPS

Detailed recommendations on the provisions of a proposed tailored regulation for the Pacific Northwest logging industry were made recently by members of a subcommittee of the Northwest Log Industry Advisory Committee in a meeting with OPS officials.

Members proposed that dollars and cents ceiling be fixed for standard grades of logs as graded by independent grading bureaus recognized by the industry in Seattle and Aberdeen, Washington, and Portland, Oregon.

It was suggested that prices in the Puget Sound, Grays Harbor and Columbia River areas be on the basis of delivery in towable waters and in the Tillamook and Southern Oregon areas on an f.o.b. car basis.

The position of operators who grade their own purchases was discussed. One suggestion was that those who graded their own logs prior to the effectiveness of the General Ceiling Price Regulation in January might be given the option of continuing to price in that manner.

Committeemen indicated that ceilings fixed at the average Ievels of prices prevailing under the Genera-l Ceiling Price Regulation would be satisfactory for the industry. The averages would be worked out separately for the various districts.

The meeting was conducted by A. L. Helmer, chief, Western Softwood Section.

Other OPS officials present were: M. White Smith, con-

sultant, Office of Price Operations; Carlton F. Diskin, division counsel, Forest Products Division; William S. McKinley, Harold C. Hamilton and T. J. Dupont, counsels; John R. Riggleman, economist; Claude O. Brown, chief, Pulpwood Section; Philip Garland, chief, Western Plywood Section; John C)'Brien, O{fice of Enforcement; J. J. Wenstrup, Office of Accounting, and Waltei R. Moulton, Ofifrce of Advisory Committees.

J. E. Herley, Ladd Logging Co., Tacoma, Wash., attended as an invited representative of industry.

Members of the subcommittee present were:

Arnold H. Brandis, Longview Fibre Company, I-ongview, Wash.; G. S. Gray, G & A Logging Company, Seaside, Oregon; E. G. Griggs, St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company, Iacoma, Wash.; Lester Harding, Columbia Hudson Lumber Cornpany, Portland, Ore.; and A. D. McDonald, Sauk River Lumber Company, Everett, Wash.

8 Month Building Total High

New York, Sept. 2G-Construction contract awards in the 37 states east of the Rockies showed slight decreases during August as compared with July this year and with August of last year, but the eight month total for 1951 was a strong 17 per cent ahead of the corresponding period 1950.

Patten-Blinn Oldest Business

Culver City, Calif : The Patten-Blinn Lumber Co., whose establishment in Culver City is located at 8817 Washington Blvd., lays clairns to be the oldest firm doing business within the city limits of Culver City-and so far, no one has disputed the claim.

Under the name of Patten-Davies Lumber Co., the firm operated its Culver City branch on Dec. 30, 1912, at approximately the same location..

The U.S. Post Offrce was not in existence at that time, Culver City was not incorporated until 1917, the Pacific Electric crossed the boundaries but had no office in Culver City and Pahns was not in the city of Los Angeles.

The P. E. depot and all this section was then known as Ivy Junction because the station was completely covered with ivy.

It is interesting to note that the same people who owned and operated the Patten-Davies Lumber Co. in 1912, still own the huge Patten-Blinn Lumber Co. with branches throughout the trophies and prizes are donated, and should anyone Southland.

Aim Of Adantic Lumber Co.

The modern builders department store with its "one-stopdrive-in home service" established by the Atiantic Lumber Co. with the opening of its completely rebuilt and remodelecl plant at 6327-37 Atlantic Boulevard, Bell, Calif., last June, l.ras proved to be a splenclid success. Sales volume has already run far ahead of former figures, ancl is on the increase.

Founded in January of 1929, by DeWitt Caspary arrcl his w;fe, Mrs. Emma Caspary, this firm is a family concern. Mr.

Caspary is president. Mrs. Caspary is vice president. Their son Dee, is secretary, and son Tom, is treasurer. Dee served in the Navy and Tom in the Army in World War II. Dee is a graduate of Whittier College, and Tom majored in mechanical engineering at USC.

Covering more than one and a quarter acres of ground, Atlantic Lumber Co. extends through from Atlantic Boulevard to Clarkson Avenue, and has a southern entrance on Federal Avenue. The store is housed in a new brick building rvith 25,000 square feet of floor space. The building is 16 feet high.

Two main features that impress the customers are the ample parking space on the east and south sides of the building, and the drive-in idea. The parking space at the front can be seen plainly from the street, and this in itself is a silent invitation to the shopper to drive in. The drive-in feature enables the shopper to drive into the building, receive quick and courteous service, an'd leave by the exit without getting out of his car if he so desires.

The merchandising plan adopted by Atlantic Lumber Co. follows closely the,plan formulated by The Celotex Corporation. Gates Ferguson, advertising manager of Celotex, recently stated that this is one of the finest retail plants he has seen.

The new and entirely modern appliance departruent is housed in a separate building, and is in charge of Leonatrl "Bill" Stuart, who has had many years of experience in the electric appliance business. Merchandise shown includes the General Electric line of refrigerators, ranges, freezers, dryers, ironers, water heaters, dish washers, and garbage disposal units.

An innovation that helps to make it very easy for the customers is the policy of remaining open on Friday evening, all day Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Mr. Caspary's quotation above indicates that this firm stresses quality and courteous attention to the customer rather than price. This policy has paid off up to now, and no doubt will continue to do so.

John O'Hara Harte Comments On Fir Door Situation

When a recent issue of the "Wall Street Journal" macle a most pessimistic report on conditions in the fir door industry this publication asked John O'Hara Harte, of Tacomzr, Wuthington, managing director of the Fir Door Institute, to comment on the article mentioned, and on the fir door situation, which he has done very courteously, and very frankly, as follows:

"I would say that this story is quite accurate. The reason for the precipitous decline in the door business is due to inventory.adjustment of very considerable proportions. During the first quarter of 1951 the trade continued to buy doors ort the basis that building would remain as active as it did during the boom period of 1950. When, about April, it became apparent that 1951 would see building at a much lower level, jobbers naturally found themselves over-extended as far as their stocl<s were concerned. During the last two or three months jobbers have had to readjust their stocks to the lower building levels of 1951, and as a result they have not been buying doors.

"It is our belief that this readjustment period has now rurr its course and that buying is now cornmencing to be noticeable once again. Inventory readjustments are always painful, and because of the exceptional boom conditions of 1950, the present one was one of the most pronounced that this industry has experienced. It is my belief that we are now moving out of that period and that a fair amount of good business should be experienced for the balance of the year. With a sizable housing program getting under way later this year and running into 1952, it is my belief that next year will see very

PROFITABLE BUSINESS FOR ALL THII DOOR PLANTS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.''

An important Northwest producer of doors, commenting on the business decline, explained very cleverly the reason when he said that "there's nothing you can do with a door except open and shut it. The door industry is not like plyivood, for which they are always finding new uses."

Another Toast to Wcrter

(Marshall Terrell, San Antonio, Texas, sends in the following toast to "A glass of water," one that has had much circulation in the South for many years.)

"Mr. Toastmaster, Ladies and Gentlemen: f have been asked to respond to the toast-'Water, the best and purest of all thihgs God created.' f have seen it glisten in tiny teardrops upon the sleeping lids of infancy; I have seen it trickle down the blushing dimples of youth, and go rushing in torrents down the wrinkled cheeks of old age; I have seen it on blades of grass, limbs of trees, sparkling like polished diamonds as the morning sun burst in resplended glory over the eastern hills; I have seen it tumble down the mountainside in cascades fleecy as a bridal veil, with the music of liquid silver the vast forest arches with symphonies sweet and dim; I have seen it in the river, purling about jutting stones, rippling over pebbly bottoms, roaring over precipitous falls in its mad race to mingle with the Great Father of Waters; and f have seen it in the Father of Waters go with slow, majestic sweep to meet the ocean; and I have seen it in the mighty ocean, upon whose broad bosom float the battle fleets of all the nations and the commerce of the world. But I want to say to you tonight that, as a beverage, it is a daryrn failure."

Surprise

Jones: "You know,. I have been trying for months to find out where my wife spends her evenings.'

Smith: "And how did you find out?"

Jones: "I went home one night-and there she was.',

Grcy or Green

The world is not forever green, Nor any life that f have seen. The summers of the world depart, But springtime comes.to every heart.

The world is not forever fair, Nor any living anywhere, But not a good shall turn to ill, But has a hope of goodness still.

Yes, so the seasons come and go, The summer flowers, the winter snow, Whether it be a field or fen, Whether it be the lives of men.

We wait the spring, and so the heart May be as sure that cares depart. The world, the life that all have seen, fs not forever gray or green.

rhe boy,,

is not to be questioned how he came by the fruit with which his pockets are filled. It belongs to him, and he may steal it if it cannot be had in any other way. His own juicy flesh craves the juicy flesh of the apple. .Sap draws sap. His fruit eatting has little reference to the state of his appetite. Whether he be full of meat or empty of meat, he wants the apple just the same. Before meal or after meal, it never comes amiss.

The farm boy munches apples all day long. He has nests of them in the hay-mow, mellowing, to which he makes frequent visits. The apple is indeed the fruit of youth. As we grow old we crave apples less. It is an ominous sign. When you are ashamed to be seen eating them on the street; when you can carry them in your pocket and your hand not constantly find its way to them; when your neighbor has apples and you have none and you make no nocturnal visits to his orchard; when your lunch basket is without them and you can pass a winter's night by the fireside with no thought of the fruit at your elbow, then be assured you are no longer a boy, either in heart or years.-John Burroughs.

The Bcrby's Shoes

The story goes that a certain cab driver in a big city always had a pair of baby's shoes tied inside his windshield. One day a customer asked to know why, and the cabbie said:

"f get awful tired wheeling this crate around every day, with all the small troubles that come to a man in a job like this. Sometimes I get to feeling I'd like to go on a drunk for three or four days; or slug somebody over the head; or cuss out some mean cab rider; or run over a copaccidentally; and when I get any of them notions, I just take a good look at my kid's shoes, and go on wheeling this hack around."

Mcking It Simple

During a recent Congressional investigation in Washington, a young public relations counselor brought down the house when, with his tongue in his cheek, he defined "public' relations counselor." After stating his profession, he was asked pointedly and perhaps facetiously, just what his business consisted of. With a straight face he replied: "The Dictionary of Social Science defines it as: 'A catalyst that seeks to remedy maladjustments in the social order.' (Then he added, dead-pan:) Of course that's an oversimplification."

National Construction Figures For August

Expenditures for new construction in August totaled $2.8 billion, about the same as in July, according to preliminary estimates made jointly by the U. S. Labor Department,s Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division, U. S. Department of Commerce.

The dollar volume for new construction this August was slightly under the August 1950 total, but, when adjusted for the increase in construction costs, its represents a significantly smallei physical volume of work put in place.

A contraseasonal decline (2 per cent) in private residential building and an 11 per cent drop in commercial building reflect the continued effects in August of building restrictions. Compared with August a year ago, private homebuilding was down by a third and commercial by 6 per cent. Private industrial building increased by 4 per cent over July and was double the August 1950 dollar volume.

Expenditures for total new private construction declined fractionally from July to $1,865 million, but the decreasc was more than offset by a 4 per cent rise to $937 million for public construction. Most of the rise in public expenditures increase was in atomic energy and military projects and in highway construction.

W. W. (Buzz) Davies loins Rogue Lumber Sales Compcny

Buzz Davies, formerly with Crater Wholesale Lumber Cornpany and Ross Lrlmber Company of Medford, Oregon, is now associated with Rogue Lumber Sales Company, also of Medford, it was announced recently by Harry Dowson of that company. Buzz will handle all wholesale transactions for thc company.

Harry Elden will remain as sales manager for a subsidiary company, the Southern Oregon Planing Mill Company.

The first scheduled radio broadcast in history was on November 2, 1920 over KDKA, Pittsburgh.

Construction of military .facilities, industrial plants, electric power projects, and other defense-supporting facilities continued to rise in August as rapidly as available supplies of structural steel, copper, and'other scarce material would perrnit. Expenditures for military construction amounted to 6l times the level of a year earlier, while industrial plant (private and public) building had more than doubled.

For the first 8 months of 1951 expenditures for new construction totaled $19.5 billion, almost 12 per cent over the comparable period in 1950. Private new construction, at 913.7 billion, was up 5 per cent over last year and new public construction totaling 95.8 billion was up by 31 per cent.

Huge Pulp Mill lor Alqskcr

The U. S. Forest Service has sold to the Ketchikan pulp and Paper Company 1,500,000 cubic feet of timber in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, and the buyer will build a forty million dollar pulp plant near Ketchikan, where the timber will be manufactured. The great plant will be built in runits, the first to be in operation in 1954.

Home Ownerr Promised Tax Break

(Continued from Page 4) residence.

For instance, if a home cost a man $10,000 and he sells it for $15,000, he would have a profit of $5,000. Under the new bill no part of this profit would be taxed if the taxpayer bought a new home within a year's time, for a price of not less than $15,000. Furthermore, if the new home purchased costs less tan $15,000, say $14,000, the taxable gain would.be one-half the difference between the cost of the new home and the olcl one, or $500.

This woulcl apply regardless of why the old home was sold and the new one purchased.

Alaska Sawmill Logs Are Price Exempt

Saw logs produced in Alaska and consumed by Alaskan sawmills are exempt from price control until December 31, 1951, the Office of Price Stabilization announced recently.

The exemption is stipulated in Supplementary Regulation 55 to the General Price Ceiling Regulation, GCPR, efiective August 30, 1951.

Alaskan logs have been subject to control under GCPR, which froze prices at the highest level existing between December 19, 1950, and January 25,1951. Since the logging industry in Alaska was virtually inoperative at that time-the normal season runs from May until November-many operators found it difficult or impossible to determine ceiling prices for the current season.

The result has been a curtailment of production of salv logs in Alaska. To remedy the situation and encourage production, OPS decided to remove all control for the balance of the season. It is expected that a tailored regulation will be issued covering Alaskan saw logs before commencement of the 1952 season.

Val B. Nygaard

Val B. Nygaard, 513 Los Olives Drive, San Gabriel, passed away in the evening, Tuesday, August 21, 1951. He was 55 years of age. With his wife, Fern, he had stopped at Pacific Grove, near Monterey, California, on his way north to visit relatives.

His death comes as a.surprisc and a shock to his friends. Although open and matter of fact in most things, he had told only a feu' of a bad heart condition.

i\{r. Nygaard was born in San ' Francisco. He leaves his wife, Fern, a daughter, Mrs. Walter Lee,

and four grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters.

IIe was in his twenty-first year with Blue Diamond Corporation, coming to them from Klinch Lath Corporation, one of the pioneer gypsum lath companies. In those twenty-one years, he had met almost every Southern Californian in the gypsum lath and plaster field . . most of them well remember him for his forthright and constructive personality. His loss will be keenly felt by his wide circle of friends and acquaintances as weli as by those with whom he worked for so many years.

Jov Woods ls Newest

California Tree Farm

Joy Woods is California's newest official tree farm. It was formally so dedicated on the afternoon of Sunday, September 23,by the California Redwood Association, which is the sponsoring agent for tree farms in the Redwood Region, and this is a Redwood Tree Farm. The dedicatory ceremonies were under the auspices of the Redwood Region Conservation Council. The object of the ceremony was to dedicate Joy Woods as a certified Redwood Region Tree Farm, and to present the owner with a certificate to that effect. This certificate is in many ways equivalent of a wartime E for excellence in doing a job.

Joy Woods embraces 1,000 acres, of which 750 is wooded and is the Tree Farm proper. It is located near Bodega, in Sonoma County, is 60 miles from San Francisco, 24 miles from Petaluma, 11 miles from Sebastopol andZ from Bodega. It ig part of a large Spanish Grant known as Rancho Estero Americano. It has been in the same family since 1863, the first owner having been Ben Joy, and the present owner his granddaughter, Miss Anita D. Laton. Logging on this property started in 1855, and there is now a good stand of second growth Douglas fir and Redwood on the 750 acres. The last remaining old growth timber was cut early in this present year. This piece of timber was declared to be a tree farm in the year 1943 by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and has been under tree farm management since then.

Stewart Snyder, a graduate of the University of California; has been Miss Laton's manager since 1941, and it is through his close attention to cutting practices, protection, and the development of a wide variety of timber products that Joy Woods has become one of the outstanding examples of good forest management in the West.

Following was the program at Joy Woods at two o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, September 23:

Introduction of master of ceremonies, Prof. Emanuel Fritz, School of Forestry, University of California, by Mr. E. T. Wohlenberg, president of the Redwood Region Conservation Council.

Invocation, by Rev. A. W. Farlander, Santa Rosa.

Welcome address, delivered by Mr. Ilarry W. Sheldon, district conservationist, U. S. Soil Conservation Service.

Presentation of Tree Farm Certificate, by Mr. Sherman A. Bishop, executive vice president, California Redwood Association, San Francisco.

Acceptanie of certificate by Miss Anita Duncan Laton, owner of Joy Woods.

Historical review, delivered by Mr. Howard McCaughey, Bodega.

Address, by Mr. DeWitt Nelson, California State Forester.

Introduction of many distinguished guests and visitors.

Prof. Emanuel Fritz was Master of Ceremonies throughout the program.

Much of the output of the first mill West of the Mississippi was shipped from Van.couver, Washington to what is now known as Hawaii.
