As had been predicted recently, Regulation X. u'hich was the credit control law covering residential and commercial construction, ended September 15th, at midnight.
Home buyers got their bargaining liberty back u.hen the Federal Reserve Board suspended its Regulation X.
Since October, 1950, this defense emergency regulation has prescribed the size of the do'ivn payment in new honse or commercial purchases.
llouses selling for $7000 or less recluired at least a 5 per cent down payment. On houses selling for $25,000 or more it ran up to 40 per cent.
Regulation X required a 50 per cent down phyment in all commercial building purchases. Further, Regulation X forbade second mortgages.
The Housing and Home Finance Agency (HHFA)which supervises Government housing programs-followed the Federal Reserve announcement by relaxing dorvn payment requirements where the Government makes the loan or backs it.
This applies to housing under the Federal Housing Administration, the Veterans Administration and the Department of Agriculture.
Housing Administrator Raymond M. Foley indicated he was not too happy about loosening the curbs on housing credit. HHFA rvas keeping all the controls it could, Foley said.
The Federal Reserve and the Housing agency acted under the terms of amendments made by Congress last Spring in the defense Dro-duction act.
Backlog of needed residential, conrmercial, industrial, institutional, public works and defense construction continues to be tremendous despite the fact that 1952 building is at unprecedented levels and well ahead of the record year 1951. This was the report by H. E. Foreman, managing director of Associated General Contractors, at the midyear meeting of tl.re association's gorrerning and advisory board, rvhich 'n'as in session at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., during the rveek of Sept. 8-12.
The amendments required that Regulation X should be lifted when the number of new houses started in any three consecutive months fell belorv 1,200,000 a year on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The law authorized the Federal Reserve to continue requiring dou'n payments of at least 5 per cent. The board ignored this provision in suspending Regulation X.
Suspension of Regulation X does not mean down payments are no longer required in house or commercial property purchases. It means that, outside the field of Government-backed housing, the purchaser and seller are free to make their own deal, without Government supervision. All the ordinary restraints still apply.
Chief among these is the fact that few private lenders are rvilling to advance more than two-thirds of the value of a house, requiring the buyers to put up or find the other one-third.
Standing Federal regulations forbid national banks to lend more than 60 per cent of the appraised value of a house.
However suspension of Regulation X gives the purchaser an opportunity to arrange a second, and even a third mortgage if his credit is good enough. Thus the purchaser can narrorv his down payment.
FIIA said terms of housing purchases under its rving u'ould revert to limits set in the national housing act. This requires a minimum dolr'n payment of 5 per cent on houses costing $7000 or less, and runs up to 20 per cent.

Voltaire said: "War is the greatest of all crimes; yet there is no aggressor who does not color his crime with the pretext of justice." ***-
The great French thinker hated war above all things, and many were the sharp and clever remarks against war that are credited to him by *historians.
Voltaire would have agreed heartily with a speech-a very eloquent speech-on the subject of war, that was made in the U. S. Senate in the*year 1847.
The speaker was Senator Thomas Corwin, of the State of Ohio, one of the most eloguent men of his day and generation. IIe was speaking in criticism of aggressive war, and he argued in most eloquent fashion that the entire history of the world proves that wars of aggression and conquest-like crime-do not pay, and that in the final count they invariably end in disaster. Such opinion should be more prevalent in the*present day and age.
So eloquent was his argument and so splendid his array of facts that when William Jennings Bryan selected for publication in book form his choice of the world's most famous orations, he gave Corwin's speech high position among history's greatest raa.r"r"it. * *
fnnumerable writers in history have sought to prove the same thing, namely, that aggression and wars of conquest never pay, but seldom, if ever, has it been done so powerfully as by the long-ago Senator from Ohio. Which is why a review of that speech X".Tr pertinent today.
Corwin is not well known to fame in the present generation, but it is an acknowledged fact that we of today learn much by turning to the words and thoughts of the strong men of the past. Corwin served his state both as Governor and U. S. Senator and/ the Encyclopedia Britannica tells us that he was fame{ for his oratory. - -\l
In a comparatively short addrdls covering much of the world's history, he arraigned his facts to show that from the dawn of time, wars of conquest and aggression finally terminated in failure. He told in flaming words what finally happened to the great aggressors of the past, and how all their conquests finally **.U****reckage.
Of Alexander the Great he said: "Ammon's son (so was Alexander named), after all his victories died drunk in Babylon. The vast empire he had conquered became the
prey of the generals he had trained; it was disparted, torn to pieces, and so ended. Sir, there is a very significant appendix; it is this; the descendants of the Greeks of Alexander are now governed by the descendants of Attila (one of the great kings he conguered).
He spoke of the rise and fall of Rome, and her mighty efforts to conquer the world, and concluded: "And where is she now, the mistress of the world? The spider"weaves his web in her palaces; the owl sings his watch song in her towers; foreign po\rrrers now lord it over the servile remnant, the miserable memento of old and once omnipotent Rome. Sad, very sad, are the lessons which time has written for us." (Remember, this *was in f847.)
These, of course, are but samples, of the aggression-doesnot-pay speech of Senator Corwin. The others are as colorful and dramatic. But his concluding clincher was the strongest and most eloquent of all. He told of the despoilation and dismemberment of Poland by an alliance of three great despotic nations, and how retribution came to all of them, and to a fourth as well, and he tells it like this:
"fn the later half of the eighteenth century three powerful nations, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, united in the dismemberment of Poland. Doub,tless each of these thought, with his share of Poland, his powei was too strong ever to fear invasion, or even insult. Did they remain untouched and incapable of harm? Alas, no. Far, very far from it. Retributive justice may fulfill its destiny, also.
"A very few years pass over and we hear of a new man, a Corsican lieutenant, the self-named 'armed soldier of democracy,' Napol'eon. He ravages Austria, covers her land with blood, ilrives the northern Caesar from his capital, and sleeps in his palace. Austria may now remember how her power trampled upon*Poland.
"But has Prussia no atonement to make? You see this same .Napoleon, the blind instrument of providence, at work there. The thunders of his cannon at Jena proclaim the world of retribution for Poland's wrongs; and the soldiers of the great Frederick the drill-sergeant of Europe, are seen flying across the sandy plain that surrounds their capital, right glad if they **? .i""n. captivity or death.
"And how fares it with the autocrat of Russia? Is he sgcure in his share of the spoils of Poland? No, suddenly we see six hundred thousand armed men marching on Moscow. Blood, slaughter, despoilation spread abroad over

the land, and finally the conflagration of the old commercial metropolis of Russia closes the retribution she must pay for her share in the dismemberment of her weak and im_ potent neighbor.
"A mind more prone than mine to l,ook for the judg_ ments of heaven in the doings of men, cannot fail in this to see the providence of God. when Moscow burned it seemed as if the earth lighted up that the nations might behold the scene. As that mighty sea of fire gatherea, ira heaved, and rolled yet higher until its flamis licked the stars anci fired the whole heavens, it did seem as though the God of the nations was writing in characters of flarie on the front of His throne that doom shall fall upon the strong nation that tramples in scorn upon the *""k.
"And what fortune "-"n, nrL, the appointed executor of this work, when it is done? He, too, conceived the notion that his destiny pointed to universal dominion. But as soon as this idea took possession of his soul, he, too, became powerless. Right there whil,e he witness"i tt. humiliation and doubtless meditated the subjugation of Russia, HE WHe HOLDS THE WINDS IN fIS FIST gathered the snows of the North and blew them upon his six hundred thousand men; they fled, they t orZ, ti",y perished. And now the mighty Napoleon, who has resol.rei on universal dominion, he, too, is summoned to answer for the violation of that ancient law; thou shalt not covet that which is thy neighbors.
"On the wings of a tempest that raged with unwonted fury, up to the throne of the only power tlrat controlled him while he lived, went the fiery soul of that wonderful warrior, another witness to the existence of that eternal decree that THEY WHO DO NOT RULE IN RIGHT_ EOUSNESS SHALL PERISH FROM THE EARTH.,,
Corwin closed ni" or"ttrr**tln a touch of spirituality that, alone would make the speech notab,le. Why buila great armies for invasion, he asked, ,.when the wiakest iand, uplifted in prayer to a God of justice, may call down upon you a Power, in the presence of which, the iron hearts of your warriors shall be turned to ashes.', That last statement will stand a lot of reading-and thinking. ***
Wonder how that speech would appeal to Joe Stalin? The lessons of history go unnoticed so far as the aggressor and the seeker after conquest is concerned. ena yet ttre facts are there for anyone to read. Through all history the almost countless leaders of aggression have ended up in the scrap pile. But it is evident that aggressors are not readers of, or believers in, history. The Alexanders and Napoleons great and small go on to their final destruction, forgetting, or never knowing, that history is the law of average that gets them all in the long run. Russian news_ papers please copy.
Flerb Higman, Reliable Lumber Co., Rosemead, enjoyed several days of fishing near Tahoe City.
One of Joe Frisco's latest stories, illustrates well the philosophy of the race track habitue.
He says that this horse player was approached by a race track tout who whispered to him that there was a horse going in the seventh race that day that was an absolute cinch; was fifteen on the morning line and would probably go to the post at twenty, and was a mortal certainty to win. He wanted to let the sucker in on it, if he had money to put up.
According to the American Furniture Mart, of Chicago, there has been a substantial improvement in furniture sales throughout the country, and what started out like a very slow year looks much better.
The sucker said he had no money with him, but had fifty dollars at home. The tout suggested he go home quickly and get it, so they could both get rich. The sucker hurried away. When he returned the tout was waiting for him.
"Did you get the fifty?" he wanted to know.
"No, I didn't," said the sucker.
"Why not?" asked the tout.
"ft was gone," said the sucker. "MY WIFE BLEW IT ON THE RENT.'

All records were broken at the 61st convention, the 1952 annual of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, which opened informally September 7, at the Brown Palace Hotel, Denver, Colorado. The total registration was 450 not including tl-re many members from Denver itself who attended all functions. When Snark of the Universe Robert J. Stalker, 36918, called the first formal meeting to order on Monday, September 8, every seat in the meeting room was filled. Men and women attended all scheduled functions and there truly was 1@ pei cent participation.
Denver Hoo-Hoo Club No. 74 was the host club. Under the inspiring leadership of Convention Chairman Clark R. Gittings, 50313 and co-chairman, president of the club, Walter E. Kellogg, Jr., 51477, every feature and every detail were carefully worked out, all of which contributed to the outstanding success of this 61st annual. All .committee chairmen and Committee members as well as the membership at large, contributed immeasurably. Special recognition must be given to the ladies' committee, headed bv Mrs. Joel F. Scott.
Arthur
The New Supreme Nine
Arthur H. Geiger, 48505 of Tacoma, Washington, a member of the Supreme Nine for the past 3 years, was elected Snark of the lJniverse. His election was a tribute to his fine record of accomplishment as well as recognition of Jurisdiction III which includes the lumber producing states of the great Northwest. 5 new men were elected to the Supreme Nine and 4 were retained. The newly elected men are:
Jurisdiction No. I, Walter Webb, Jr., Massachusetts, Gurdon
Jurisdiction No. III, Stuart Smith, Oregon, ..Bojum
Jurisdiction No. I-V, Hubert Lamson, Lousiana, Arcanoper
Jurisdiction No. VI, Alfred 8ell, Jr., California, Custocatian
Jurisdiction No. VII, Winfield Oldham, Texas, Junior Hoo-Hoo
The others on the Board are:
Jurisdiction No. II, Ernest Hammerschmidt, Illinois,
Jurisdiction No. v, Martin McDonatd,
Jurisdiction No. VIII, John Egan, Minnesora, Senior Hoo-Hoo
Jurisdiction No. IX, John Dolcater, Florida, Scrivenoter
Robert J. Stalker, 36918 Elected President Minneapolis-1953. : :. Ilouston-1954
Immediately upon election, the new Supreme Nine went into session and elected the officers of the corporation, namely, the board of councillors for the year 1952-1953 as provided by the by-laws. The retiring Snark, Robert J. Stalker, 36918, was elected president. Harry F. Partridge, 1983, and Edwin F. Fischer, 4INJL, were re-elected vicepresident and treasurer respectively. Secretary S. F. Springer,34265 was continued in office.
Minneapolis, Minnesota, selected at the previous convention as the convention city for 1953 was again confirmecl and Houston, Texas was selected lor 1954. The Minneapolis convention, 1953, will be held in September.
Progress reports given by the national, regional, and local officers thrilled the many delegates representing the 102 Clubs of the Order. A new high in membership,11,502, anrl 115 Concats, as against 105 held the previous year, were reported. Eight new clubs were added. The big story of the convention, however, was the report on the new club organized in Quebec, Canada, the Montreal Hoo-Hoo Club No. 60, the new club of the Philippines, Manila Hoo-Hoo Club No. 141, and Club No. 142 at Honolulu, Hawaii, norv in the process of organization.
At the opening session, members were brought to their feet in a grand welcome to the official delegate of the Manila Hoo-Hoo Club, Senor Jose Espinosa, 58456. Secretary Springer, in a formal ceremony, presented the Philippine flag which now takes its place with the Canadian and American flags displayed at Hoo-Hoo conventions. In appropriate resolutions, the convention extended a special rvelcome to the Manila Hoo-Hoo Club, its officers and members "for enabling Hoo-Hoo to expand the sphere of benevolent influence of the Order into the Philippine Republic and irito the Eastern Hemisphere of the world."
The convention again developed serious thought and consideration of the place of Hoo-Hoo in the educational and promotional programs of all lumber associations ancl determined that all clubs organize cominittees on education to help industry schools and all other educational projects. Two important committee reports on these industry programs were presented. The report of the committee on education was given by Chairman William C. Bell, 45306, State of \rVashington, and the report of the committee on wood promotion was given by Chairman R. M. Eagle, 35506, of Texas. The analogy between wood and lumber, as the greatest product now and forever more, and "The Greatest Show on Earth" was particularly happy and effective as given by Chairman Eagle. Chairman Bell's report traced the development of the Nationa.l Retail Educational Program and told that many manufacturers are taking active part in educational work. He emphasized that Hoo-Hoo International, including as it does, men from every branch of the industry, has been and can continue to be, a most potent factor in this general industry program.
Members were urged to interest themselves in, and to participate in the exercise of the voting franchise at national as well as all elections and to fulfill their obligation as citizens toward the end that all may enjoy the blessings of

free democratic government and an economy based on private competitive enterprise.
No Hoo-Hoo convention is complete without a concat and-again at Denver, the concat was an important part of the program. Laurels go to the Denver Hoo-Hoo Club for putting on one of the finest exhibitions and ritualistic ceremonies. The serious ritual was given by a team attired in summer formals with each member having learned his part and giving it without reference to the book. Another team took care of the junior work and did a splendid job putting the kittens through their paces with stunts that were distinctly original and quite amusing to the assemblage. All in all, it was one of the finest concats put on by Hoo-Hoo. 22 kittens w-ere initiated.
Every minute of the 3-day convention was filled with activity. The ladies joined with the men in several luncheons which were addressed by able speakers. At the Monday luncheon, Dean Cecil Puckett of the College of Business Administration, University of Colorado, spoke. His talk fitted nicely into the educational program of Hoo-Hoo. He, too, pointed out the cooperation between the industry and colleges and as in Colorado, the College of Business Administration. At the Wednesday luncheon, in recognition of the ladies present, the speaker was Eudocia Bell Smith, whose talk "Westward Ho-The Women," brought vivid word pictures of pioneer women of the great west and particularly of the Denver area. The ladies also attended the closing ceremony of the senysnfisn-the embalming of the snark. This farewell tribute to the retiring Snark of the Universe was conducted by the Seer of the House of Ancients, C. D. Le Master, 29727, Rameses D, with the supreme nine and all the past snarks present, taking part.
One of the highlights of the social activities of the convention was the mountain trip. Chartered busses took all in attendance through the scenic mountain area, .culminating at Red Rocks Park where a chuck wagon dinner was ofiered, followed by a visit to the Red Rocks Open Air Theater and the presentation of the Koshare Indian dances by the Boy Scouts of America-Explorer Troop 2230. At this performance, various scout troops, orphanages and underprivileged children, as well as all the families of Denver lumbermen were the guests of the Denver Hoo-Hoo Club. The great natural amphitheater with 80O0 people was a most inspiring sight, a never to be forgotten experience.
The convention paused in its deliberations to ,pay silent tribute to Harry Kendall, 12284, who passed away during this Hoo-Hoo year. The industry recognized Harry Kendall as a great leader. Hoo-Hoo knew him best as the Head of the Hoo-Hoo- fmmortals, a name and honor conferred in recognition of his splendid work as Head of the Hoo-Hoo Reorganization Committee. Resolutions of commemoration were passed paying tribute to this beloved brother. The necrology of the year recorded the passing of close to 100 Hoo-Hoo brothers and all were remembered in resolutions of tribute.
A special tribute was paid to the trade press for telling the story of Hoo-Hoo and publicizing its activities. A big factor in Hoo-Hoo accomplishment is the sympathetic, unselfish and understanding reporting on the part of our trade publication. Special tribute also was paid to the secretary of state and regional retail associations for Hoo-Hoo concas and activities on their convention programs.
Denver set a high standard in this 1952 convention. One that will be hard to beat. The Minneapolis delegation, as well as the Houston committee agreed that their job will be difficult for 1953 and, 1954. They promised, however, to make an effort to at least equal this great 61st annual as put on by Denver.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 16-New ceiling prices for the western wood preserving industry were announced today by the Office of Price Stabilization.
The ceilings are established on pressure treating services and forest products preservatively treated under pressure, when the treatment is performed in the United States west of the 100th Meridian, or in any part of North and South Dakota. The 100th Meridian extends southward from the Dakotas through Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and divides the country roughly in half.
The new ceilings are prescribed in Ceiling Price Regulation I7O, effective September 22, 1952. It is a companion regulation to Ceiling Price Regulation 157, which covers the treating industry in the eastern half of the United States.
The regulation applies to the products of 28 commercial pressure treating plants operated by 21 companies. In 1947 the value of commercial treating services performed in the area covered'rvas approximately $14,700,000.
The industry treats lumber, poles, piling, posts, bridge materials, railroad ties, wood flooring blocks and other forest products with preservative as a protection against insects and decay. Treatment is performed in retorts under pressure, and consists of forcing oil or water borne preservatives into the products. Treatment increases the life of forest products from three to 10 times.
The purpose of the regulation is to provide the industry with equitable, uniform and more readily identifiable ceiling prices. Ceilings for treating services established by the regulation are approximately at the average levels established by individual treaters under the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR), which froze prices on January 26, 1951, except that they will reflect increased cost of preservatives and certain freight increases.

There have been 500,000 family-dwelling units (singlefamily homes and apartments) built in Los Angeles County in the seven-year span since VJ-Day ! That's more than the combined totals of the dwelling units in Boston and pittsburgh today.
These remarkable survey disclosures by the research department of the Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles prove these two impressive facts: (1) The wonderful job by the private building industry, community development and real estate business in this region. (2) The unceasing desire for homeownership and wish to reside in Southern California. (From Los Angeles Times.)
The new rates on workmen's compensation that became effective July 1, 1952, both on new business and expiration of present policies, averaged approximately 8 per cent, according to a bulletin of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association. A comparison of the old and new rates on lumber industry classifications, are as follows:
The U. S. Forest Service office in San Francisco, announces that it has just won a very interesting judgment with regard to the cutting of timber by contract on U. S. Forest lands.
A district court held that contractors who fail to cut all the timber covered by a cutting contract are liable for the full difference between the original contract price and the price at which the Forest Service would be able to resell the uncut timber.
A judgment was entered by the court against a lumber company which has been cutting U. S. Forest timber in California, and against an indemnity company.

Reports from various real estate brokers indicate that the new "'personal residence sale and purchase,, tax rule has definitely fulfilled, its purpose of facilitating the purchase of new homes. A brief illustration will pinpoint the serious tax defect that this provision was designed to correct.Smith purchased a home in the late 30s for $15,000. While the residence was adequate for his family at the time of its purchase, his family since has outgrown it. He wishes to buy a new, larger and more modern home for his family. He is confident that he can handle the financial details of the purchase (despite the greatly increased costs of construction) by:
l-Selling his old home and applying the sales proceeds to the purchase price of the new residence;
2-Applying a portion of his savings to the cost of the new home and taking out a mortgage to cover the balance. Only one thing stops him from going ahead with his plans. He expects to make a large profit on the sale of his old house. The tax on this profit (amounting to several thousands of dollars) represents an additional financial burden that Mr. Smith does not feel capable of assuming at the preseni time.
It was to eliminate this tax obstacle-one that has frustrated the purchase of many thousands of new homes in previous years-that the "personal residence sale and purchase" tax rule was incorporated into the law. The provision cures this defect by providing that the profit that a taxpayer makes on the sale of his home will not be taxed to him provided that he satisfies both of the following conditions:
l-He purchased a new home at a price r,r,'hich either equals or exceeds the price at which he.sold his old house, and
Z-IIe tirnes the purchase of his new home to fall within the two-year period beginning one year prior to the date on which he sells his old home and ending one year after the sale.
In the event that the taxpayer ends up rvith money in his pocket on the deal-that is, he gets more for his old home than he pays for the ner,v one-his profit rvill be taxed to the extent of the differential.
This is a brief explanation of a provision rvhich has many ramifications. A taxpayer who constructs a new home may likeu'ise claim its benefits; co-operative apartment owners are likervise affected by it.

(There recently appeared in "Woodworkers Reporter" this most interesting and technical article on the great and gowing laminated wood industry. It was written by Richard D. Behm, who has just returned to his position of sales engineer for M & M Woodworking Company, after serving for some time as chief of the Plywood and Fabricated Products Branch of the National Production Authority's Wood and Wood Products Division. The article was wriiten when Mr. Behm was with the government.)
Military services and leading commercial engineers are looking to the new laminating industry to assume a major portion of the requirements for timbers, trusses, and specialized facilities constructed of wood. Performance records established on many top militarv jobs including navy mine sweepers, radar and guided missile installations, and for aircraft depot and hangar construction have stimulated interest on the part of the services in this new wood technology. The industry itself has responded by issuing comprehensive standards. Yes, the glued laminating industry is graduating into the big time.
The growth of the industry has been stimulated by the development of adhesives including resorcinol and resorcinphenol combinations which cure at low temperatures forming a permanent and waterproof bond. If the growth parallels that of the plyrvood industry after the introduction of the exterior type adhesives, then great things can be expected of the Laminating Industry in the next few years. Volume is expected to be three-fold by 1955.
Leaders of the industry recently formed an association to be known as The American Institute of Timber Construction and elected Mr. Ward Mayer of Timber Structures, Inc. as president. This group will issue quality control standards and develop specifications showing the latest construction techniclues. According to reports received by the industry division of the National Production Authority, plants are operating at near capacity, even though the general lumber industry is depressed from 15 to.25/o.
One of the new techniques which is expected to change design practices of warehouse construction is the use of the continuous beam principle. Since end-splicing of lumber with a slope ratio of 12 to I has been proven and accepted, engineers and architects are no longer limited in the lengths of members which they may specify. Instead of ordering timbers to extend from one support to the next, they may be ordered to span several support members in which case the rigidity factor is greatly increased. Just as in plywood panel construction rvhere spanning more than one support member increases rigidity 50/o, so does the glued laminated member increase in rigidity when spanning mo:e than one support. Instances have been reported where the thickness of a timber in tvarehouse construction was reduced from 3U' to 27' with the resultant saving of money and conservation of timber.
Nor is it al.ivays necessary to span the full distance to the next supporting membe:. By extending the member 15/o to 2O/o beyond the support station and hanging an
intermediate truss or support beam of smaller dimension strength factors similar to a continuous beam are achieved.
Consider a warehous€ 240 leet wide, supported by pillars on B0 foot centers. Continuous beam performance may be obtained by designing the two outside support beams 100 feet long insteail of 80 feet long, and joining the intermediate span by hanging a smaller timber of 45 feet length. This cantilever principle is further modified by building a camber into the main span which will take the full weight of the roof and neutralize the horizontal shear factor. The only limiting consideration on the length of the laminated truss is the maximum length which may be handled by transportation facilities. Special timbers as long as 135 feet have been shipped and used on warehouse and in school construction. Generally, however, lengths are limited to a hundred feet long which can be shipped on two flat cars equipped with swivel platforms. Since a number of the fabricating plants are located on tidewater for ocean transport, longer members may be ordered for installations b1, maritime facilities.
While the big timber lamination is the most dramatic, a huge volume of the work being done by the industry is in smaller laminates. Ship decking, breast hooks, knees, ribs, as well as the stem and keel, account for a sizeable volume of the marine laminates. Truck bodies, radar masts, ponton bridge, gun stocks and numerous other wood components also account for a sizeable volume. An increasingly important segment of the industry is concentrating its attention on laminating plyr,r'ood and lumber to form stress skin sections for box girders, and specialized facilities which rvill withstand earthquake and seismic disturbances. In the field of transportation, the plywood and lumber laminates develop tremendous strength with corresponding saving c{ rveight over metal construction. The unicel car and highway transport developed by the Pressed Steel Car and Foundry Company of Chicago are excellent examples of the applications of these principles. Such construction is also being used in home trailers. These new developments may well recapture some of the markets which are now lost to wood. If one is to examine these markets he rvill note three basic reasons why competitive products have taken hold. First, the uniformity of strength factors. Safety factors when designing with steel and other metals are generally 1.6 whereas the variable nature of wood oftentimes makes it necessary to use safety factors of 4 to 1.
Lamination, with its opportunity to use small, select. stress-quality lumber, makes it possible to design to closer tolerances, saving money and material. Second in importance is permanence and durability. Even though wood under many circumstances has performance records of hundreds of years, there are rnany places where deterioration has been far too rapid. The new wood preservative and toxic treatments are much mord effective on small members which can then be laminated to form the finished wood mesrber. Excellent protection is being achieved against molds and fungus, rot and decay, and even fire if the re-

California Real Estate Association's 48th Annual Convention in San Francisco October 5 to 9 promises to be an all-around record breaking event.
Committees of the San Francisco Real Estate Board. Alex Cutler, president, and state-wide committees have been workirg daily on plans for ,making this event outstanding in every way.
Prominent speakers from all over the nation have been invited to address the convention in order to give California Realtors and members of the sales staff authentic information on many pertinent subjects as well as inspirational messages lvith u'hich to return to u,ork follou'ing tl-re convention period.
Mason E. Kline of Mason E. Kline & Co., San Francisco, has been invited to address the convention of the Railway Tie Association at New Orleans October 2I to 25.

quirement demands. Third in importance in considering basic construction materials is the size limitations. By this we mean the length limitations and also the actual bulk dimension of the product for a given strength factor. In both of these, the laminating industry makes important contributions. We have already pointed out how size can be reduced by use of the cantilever or continuous beam suspension. Length is no longer a limitation, so that the lumber industry is again competitive in many of these markets.
Laminated arches and beams in churches and other institutions have an artistic as well as a structural function. The straight resorcinol adhesive is much lighter in color than the phenolic adhesive and the melamine urea combinations are practically colorless. The selection of the adhesive would be predicated on the resistance to moisture u'hich is considered necessary for the specific application.
In considering the future of this industry it is important to note that while the military needs are the most spectacular the major volume is for industrial and cir.ilian purposes.

The September 15 meeting of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 of Oakland at the Claremont Hotel, Berkeley was the occasion of the election o[ new oFficers, as well as p:oviding the opportunity for some very good entertainment keyed to the coming presidential election. 90 members and guests turned out for the affair. A tribute was paid to the retiring president Lu Green of Gamerston and Green Lumber Co. before the new slate was voted in. Bill Chatham, Loop Lumber Co., as head of the nominating committee presented the new list of officers. Those elected were: Albert A. Kelley, lumber wholesaler of Alameda, president; Bob Hogan, Hogan Lumber Co., Oakland, vice president; G. W. (Chris) Sechrist, Loop Lumber and Mill Co., secretary and treasurer; Frank Timmers, Strable Hardwood Co. and Ralph P. Hill, Hill Lumber and Hardware Co., sergeants-at-arms. The board of directors are, Bill McCubbin, Cords Lumber Co.; Bob Meyers, Holm Lumber Co.; Jerry Mashek, Hill and Morton Inc.;Joe Pepetone, Gamerston and Green Lumber Co., and Herb Farrell, California Builders Supply.
On the amusing side of the meet, a parade of members carrying banners with inscriptions supporting or denouncing the various candidates, marched about the room shouting for their favorite. It gave the meeting the appearance of a national political convention. Bill Chatham's presentation of the candidates was something of a show in itself.
The most serious part of the entertainment was the discussion of the presidential candidates in the coming national election. A man was selected to support each one of the two opposing candidates. Backing General Eisenhower was Malcolm Champlin, prominent East Bay attorney, and chairman of the Veterans for Eisenhower Campaign. He is a graduate of Annapolis and served in the last World \\rar. His adversary was Assemblyman Robert L. Condon of the 10th District in Contra Costa County and a candidate for Congress from the 6th Congressional District. Each man ably extolled the merits of his candidate, and aroused great interest from the group by answering questions after their twenty minute presentation

Expenditures for new construction in August rose seasopally (by 2 per cent) to $3,152 million, the highest monthly figure on record, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division, U. S. Department of Commerce. Special investigation into contract construction employment and the field operations of major public construction agencies revealed that the steel dispute had no demonstrable effect on construction expenditures in August.
A slow but steady decline has occurred in private industrial building during the past few months, but other major types of private and public construction have by and large shown the usual seasonal advances. Private new construction activity'as a whole stood at $2,A42 million this August, and public at $1,110 million. New homebuilding activity is the largest part of private volume and alone accounted for 46 per cent of the private total. Public construction for defense-chiefly work on atomic energy and military and naval facilities-accounted for 30 per cent of the public sector. Another 30 per cent of public outlays went for highway work.
Comparing dollar volume for the first 8 months of this year and last, public'construction gained by over a fifth, as major advances occurred in building atomic energy and military and naval facilities. Private construction lagged slightly over the year, because greater outlays in 1952 on private plant and public utility construction did not offset
the drop in commercial and some other types of nonresidential building and on housing. The gap between this year's and last year's outlays for new housing is now fairly narrow, however, reflecting the continuous high level of home construction during the spring and summer months ot 1952.

The Winton Lumber Company, operating a modern sawmill and lumber manufacturing plant in Amador County -at Martell, California, have a progressive and service minded unit that they can well be proud of. In the interest of producing quality items, additional timber has been secured and improvements in the sawmill and remanufacturing facilities have been made for a long term operation.
The sawmill cuts approximately 95,000,board feet per shift and operates the shifts five days a week. A planing mill and a remanufacturing plant specialize in the manufacture of box, moulding, sash and trim, in addition to standard surface items which are shipped throughout the Un!ted States.
With the recent installation of two additional kilns, the company now have six modern Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns 17' wide x 12U long in addition to their older kilns ilstalled several years ago. These new kilns are of the single ended design and are equipped with 77, diameter fans driven with 50 h.p. single speed motors. Moore Pressure Controllers on each kiln insure proper and adequate supply of steam and automatic temperature and humidity instruments assist in drying the lumber efficiently and economically. The kiln buildings themselves are constructed of basalt block with reinforced concrete pilasters. A concrete slab roof with 6 inches of insulation on top of this concrete insures minimum heat loss from the kiln roofs.
Outstanding features of the kiln installation include a special low pressure steam spray hook-up for accurate and complete humidity control, a total of 60 vents on each kiln to insure adequate fresh air, especially when drying
Sugar Pine, also a completely fireproof control room constructed with a concrete wall with steel back wall and roof to give lowest insurance cost. ' These kilns are fully sprinklered.
Large capacity loads are transferred to and from the kilns with a power driven electric transfer car. A Moore package stacker and also a semi-automatic stacker are employed for stacking loads economically. An unstacker and tilting column hoist break down the loads on to the dry sorting chain.
A modern fleet of logging trucks are operated on well co_nstructed logging roads to give economical handling of logs from the company's logging operation to the mill.
Production of quality manufactured lumber and allied items is the purpose of the Winton Lumber Company personnel, including R. S. Kerns, Manager, and Assistant Manager Cliff Anderson. John Malmquist is plant superintendent and John Dean is sawmill foreman. Al Martin is planing mill foreman. John Owen is in charge of the kiln drying.

Victor Roth, of Triangle Lumber Co., Oakland, recently spent a week's vacation on the Russian River with his wife and family of two boys and a girl.
Edwin S. Zittleman, widely known as,,Zit,, amongst the lumber trad'e in Central California, was born in Menominee, Wisconsin, and grew up with a strong love for the industry which was so prominent in this section of the country. As a boy he worked for the Badger State Lumber Company in Menominee and later transferred his services to the O & N Lumber Company which operated a string of yards in Wisconsin.
In 1925 he decided to find out for himself if there was a place where he could be warm in wintertime and cool in summer and accordingly he moved to California and settled in the East Bay Region. He went to work for the Southern Pacific Company in 1926 and remained there until 1929 when his old feeling for the lumber business got the better of him dnd he became associated rvith White erothers where he has been ever since.
For the past twenty-three years,"Zit" has been a familiar figure on all sides of San Francisco Bay and in the North Central portion of the State and his many friends can and do depend on his knowledge of lumber and his uncanny ability to recommend'and furnish the proper grade of lumber for each particular job.
Mr. Zittleman _is married and is the father of a boy and girl both of whom have recently graduated from high school in Oakland and are now employdd there. His hobby is baseball and he spends many a happy hour supporting and defending his favorite team, the Oakland Oaks. He has also been very active in the Cub Scout and Boy Scout movement in Oakland and is at present time a District Commissioner.

Non-farm housing starts totaled 99,000 during August, a decline of 5,000 units, or 5 per cent, from July, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The July-August decrease was almost all in privately owned new. housing, which declined from 102,4A0 units in July to 97,600 in August. However, the August estimate for both total and private non-farm housing starts was about 11 per cent above the August 1951 figure.
The relatively high level of housing starts in August brought the total thus far this year to 77I,300 new units, 1,700 above last year's estimate for the same months. Private starts have been exceeding last year's volume every month since February, and by the end of August totaled 724,mO, almost 20,000 units more than were begun during January-August 1951. Public housing totaled 47,300 units for the first B months of. 1952, about 18,000 units (or 28 per cent) under last year's volume for the same period.
Preliminary estimates indicated that August was the third consecutive month in which total housing starts (both private and public), on a seasonally adjusted basis, fell below a rate of 1,200,000 units. The seasonally adjusted annual rate for August was 1,035,000, compared with 1,088,000 in July and 1,063,000 in June.
Local police are tracing meager clews on a burglary committed at the Foxworth & Galbraith Lumber Company, Needles, Calif., on the night of August 11.
Harold Fleming, manager, said the thieves entered the store through a back door of the second floor. They smashed the money box on the coke machine and took one box of ammunition. A shotgun was taken-from a wall case and was found on the floor of the office. Various tools were used in trying to open the steel safe and were scattered about the.floor of the office. In the attempt to open the safe hack saws were used on the hinges. An electric drill was also found on the floor near the safe but evidently it had not been used.
Chief of Police Bland said all finger prints had been wiped off of everything touched by the thieves. The robbery was discovered when the store opened for business the next morning.

Bepresenting:
Now let the golden-throated Muses weep, And let the God of grief, in dungeon-keep, Fan Sorrow's flames through halls of pillared fame; He goes-and leaves to earth a hallowed name.
flere, where our feasts are marred by shadowed fear We shall not see his face again, or hear The sweet-voiced lilting of his ample lyre That glowed, betimes, with strange Promethean fire.
Some say he walks the Road to Mandalay, And some, a ghostly ship moves down the bay And slips and slides through silvered foamless foam To bear the serph-man to his last home.
What though no laurel wreath bedecked his brow, He stands beside the Bard of Avon, now, And grasps the hand of Milton, blind no more, Yet wists not how he reached that alien shore.
FIe's gone ! and soon we, too, shall see afar The mystic signal from a twilight star; And we shall sail our ghostly ship away O'er silver seas of light-to Mandalay.
-T. Howard Wilson, in Los Angeles Times.He was showing a friend around his ultra-modern house. "There are lots of points about it that I like," said the candid friend, "and there are some that I do not understand. Why, for instance, the round hole in the front door?" "Oh, that's for circular l'etters."
Two Scots were mountaineering in Switzerland, when one of them slipped and fell into a crevasse. The other, peering over the edge, saw his companion holding on almost by his fingernails. "Are ye a' richt, Macpherson?" shouted the man in safety. "No exactly that," said the other, "but if ye run down to the village an' get a rope I'll try to hang on here till ye come back. Hurry, for heaven's sake !" His companion disappeared and was gone nearly an hour. Suddenly his face appeared again over the edge of the cliff. "Are ye still there, Macpherson?" he called down. "Ayel'. in a low, weary tone. "Have ye got the rope?" "No, indeed. The dirty dogs in the village wanted twa pounds for it !"
The Oral Speedometer is reported to be a phonograph attachment to your car speedometer, that speaks to you as you drive along. At 25 miles it remarks: "The city speed limit has been passed, is there a motor cop behind you?" At 35 miles per hbur it says: "Too fast for city driving. It is to be hcped you are now in the country.'r At 45: "Your car is still under control, but watch the car behind the car ahead of you." At 50 miles: "Your responsibillty is increasing. Keep your eye on the road." At 60 miles: "Are your insurance premiums paid?" At 70 miles: "You do the driving. I'11 do the praying." At 80 miles: "Probably someone will have this car repaired. If so, we thank you for the sale of another speedometer to replace this one, which in going for a ride on the 'black camel' along with you."
He started off at dawn for summer campHow long he had been waiting for this day !Our little lad, whose face still bears the stamp Of babyhood; who has never been away
From home at night; who hove a heavy pack To boyish shoulders, suddenly squared with pride; Departed, laughing, not once looking backI'm glad he didn't know tris mother cried. Dear Father-God, take special care of himHe's very trusting, and he is so young. Return him sun-bronzed, sturdy, sound of limb; With songs of wind and water on his tongue; With friends, adventure, camp-fire dreams to prizel With memories of mountains in his eyes.
-Driftwood.Nurse: "Whom are they operating on today?" Orderly: "A fellow who had a golf ball knocked down his throat." "And who is the man waiting so nervous$ in the hall? A relative?" "No, that's the golfer. He's waiting for his ball."
The top sergeant sang out just before the company was dismissed: "All those fond of music step two paces forward." With visions of a soft job in the regimental band, half a dozen men stepped out. The sergeant growled: "Now then, you six mugs, get busy and carry that piano up to the top floor of the officers' quarters."

Washington-In response to popular demand from operators of woodworking, furniture and laminating plants, another course in wood adhesives and quality control in glued laminating will be held October 27-31 at the Lumber and Wood Products Laboratory of Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association, according to Carl A. Rishell, director of research.
The course is designed to train plant operators and, particularly, glue room personnel in the proper use of modern adhesives, new laminating techniques, and methods for testing glue lines and inspecting laminated wood products for conformance to specifications. Special emphasis is placed on marine laminating to help meet the demand for laminated timbers used in the current shipbuilding programs.
Fifteen classes have been held at the Teco Laboratory since the course was organized in 1949. These have been attended by plant exeCutives, forembn, production men and inspectors from lndustry, along with several Naval officers and all of the Navy's inspectors of ship construction in the r,r'ood minesweeper program.
Only 15 enrollees are admitted to each class to permit maximum attention to each. Applications should be filed promptly rvith Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.

191,158 persons visited the huge Exposition during its 11-day run at Hollywood Park, Inglewood, smashing by 20,135 the attendance mark set last year. Kraatz said that this year's Home Shorv attracted more people than any other Expositi.on of its type in the country.
With these great crowds came an unprecedented amount of business for exhibitors, according to Kraatz. A preliminary survey indicates that several million dollars worth of merchandize was sold during the Show.
"In fact," declared Kraatz, "business was so good that most of our exhibitors already have reserved space for the 1953 Exposition." Reservations can be made by contacting the Home Shorv office, 6399 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 402, Los Angeles.
Kraatz attributed the great success of this year's Shour to many factors. He pointed to the roominess of Hollywood Park, its great parking' area, ilie Spike Jones Musical Depreciation Revue, the coolness of the location, the tremendous variety and wealth of rvares presented by exhibitors and the trvo beautiful model homes.
