A Perpetucll Forest

cll Oeikridge

The idea of a forest that can be logged in patches, at a stable level, forever, would have sounded strange to the lumberman of. a generation ago.

But at Oakridge, Pope & Talbot and the Forest Service have begun development of such a forest. Here, logging has been balanced against the annual rate of growth so that the same volume of mature timber may be harvested year after year, century after century.

This concept of a lasting forest is an important advance in the field of conservation. It also carries significant advantages of fire prevention, protection of wild life, and improved recreational facilities.

For our customefs, a Permanent forest means a Permanent mill-and a permanent source of quality timber.

fn a recent speech Mr. Fairless, President of the U. S. Steel Corporation, used the above sentence. He referred to his own personal history to illustrate the point. He said he came from a large family that has suffered from "dollar shortage" as far back as he can remember, and that he doubted if any other man had more relatives who needed "economic aid."

*,F*

If he had tried to support all of them he would have been bankrupt long ago, and his relatives would still be broke. So, instead of helping with loans and grants to spend, he helped them establish themselves in self-supporting occupations, making them happier and more selfsufficient than they would have been had he just given them "dollar aid." And he thinks that is the best method to follow in helping other nations. Otherwise, he says, the others will remain poor, and we will get ourselves into the same fix.

The bigger this nation ""U ,," government becomes, the greater need for selecting and electing the key men who will have charge of our affairs, with unerring wisdom. For key men will inevitably sel'ect their assistants from people of their own kind. Ordinary men will select ordinary assistants. Men lacking in honor will gather men of like character. But good men will in turn seek good men, and honorable men will seek assistants of the same character as themselves, and so on down the line. All good business men should take their duties of citizenship more seriously than usual this year, and seek and search for men in whom our affairs may be safely entrusted.

History convinces .*" ,ri"rJ who see good all about them, that there is truth in the old story about the young man who was going out into the world to seek his fortune,. and whose father said to him: "My son, go out into the world and make your fortune; make it honestly if you can, my son, but iI you can't make it honestly-make your fortune." Pollyannas to the contrary notwithstanding, there still remain in our midst a certain percentage of the human race who live strictly by the philosophy of that father. It should be the job of the good citizen to see that such men do not become key figures in government. The temptations might prove too great.

..MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE, BUT NOT ONE CENT, FOR TRIBUTE.''

The above quotation, a familiar bit of Americanism since the early days of this nation, has been printed countless times recently in discussions of the kidnapping and ransoming of American citizens who have fallen into Communist hands in Europe. We are all of us familiar with those stirring words. Butwho was the author?

For an anslver to that interesting question, we suggest an article on the subject by Dr. Frank Harmon Carver, printed in the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Carver was Professor of History at the University of Southern California before he retired, and now writes interesting articles on America'n historY'

According to Dr. Carver the remark has been generally credited to General C. C. Pinckney, who was nominated for Vice President on the ticket with John Adams in 1800. General Pinckney had been sent to France as United States Minister by John Adams when he was elected President in 1796, and in t797 he was made a member of a special commission of three to try and straighten out a squable this government was having with the French government. The other two members of the commission were John Marshall and Elbridge Gerry.

Dr. Carver says that ah" "";r;ulous Talleyrand, French Foreign Minister, made direct demands'upon the Americans. He wanted an apology for some statements of President Adams, he wanted a cash loan to the French nation, and also a gratuity of some $5000 for each of the five French Directors making the demands.

"The American answer.l' "lr"*or. Carver, "very modest and unspectacular, was, 'No, no, not a sixpence."' And he adds that these words were agreed to by all three commissioners, and probably uttered by Gen. Pinckney, chairman of the American delegation.

When the three *-.]r"*""lrs returned to America, President Adams published a report of what had happened, together with the demand for bribes, and there was immediately a nation-wide uproar, and Dr. Carver says it was then that "No, no, not a sixpence" soon became the more spectacular "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." And the credit for the remark went to Pinckney.

:

"Economic aid works much the same way with poor nations as with poor relations."

Then, according to this same historical writing, "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute" became the raltying cry of the Federalist Party in the congressional elections of 1798, and helped to bring victory to that party.

*rF*

Dr. Carver quotes a letter written by the Hon. Alfred Ilugar, of Charleston, S. C., who knew Pinckney, stating that when that gentleman was asked if he ever coined the famous phrase, replied: "f never used any such expression, sir; Mr. Robert Goodloe Harper did at a public meeting. I never did."

**)k

The public meeting referred to, says Dr. Carver, was a farewell banquet given by Congress on June 18, 1798, at Philadelphia, in honor of John Marshall, who was about to depart for his home in Virginia. It was here that Harper, a Federalist Representative from South Carolina, pronounced the famous sentence as a toast.

*{<>k

The Federalists used the slogan in two elections, in 1798

Western Pine Shipments in Thlrd Quarter Up Five Per Cent

Portland, S:pt. 3G-The following report of third quarter, 1952, production and shipments of Western Pine region lumber and lumber products and estimate of probable fourth quarter shipments was released today by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine association. The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Associated Woods. The statement in full:

"The demand for lumber from the Western Pine region during the third quarter of this year was decidedly better than was anticipated at the beginning of the quarter. Preliminary estimates indicate shipments of 1,940 million feet, or 5 per cent above third quarter of 1951. Much of the increase was marked up during the month of July. August and September were but slightly above a year ago.

"The favorable comparison for the third quarter was partly due to the slump in shipments during the third quarter of last year. Normally the region ships around 200 million feet more in the third quarter than in the second. Last year it shipped 91 million feet less.

"The number of housing units started from March through August was well ahead of last year for every month except June. Year-to-date figures for August finally overcame the first quarter deficit and, for the first time. pulled ahead of last year. Housing starts for the year should at least equal 1951 and exceed any other year except 1950.

"The general level of industrial activity during September reached a new high since World War II. The gradually increasing arms output, plus shortages caused in some lines by the long steel strike, practically guarantee a busy fourth quarter for most industrial concerns. The industrial demand for lumber should be good.

when it helped bring them victory, and again in 1800 when it failed to do so. So Dr. Carver states definitely in his discussion of the famous remark, that General Pinckney was not the coiner of same. He establishes the fact through Pinckney's own testimony that Mr. Harper, of South Carolina, was the first man known to have used it in a public manner. But does not make the claim that said Harper was himself the man who coined it. He just leaves the matter stand, having probably exhausted the available evidence of those doings and sayings of lbng ago.

,frF*

Dr. Carver has written and published a considerable number of American history short anecdotes under the title "Myths From American ffistory," and the article that has been quoted here he puts under that same title. All of this list of articles concern popular beliefs about historical matters and events, that Dr. Carver has shown to be mythical. Most of them, like this one about the origin of "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute," are highly interesting, and concern themselves with matters of historic importance.

"Based on such factors and other available information, it now seems probable that, during the fourth quarter of 1952, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 1,700 million feet. This figure would be in about the normal seasonal relationship to third quarter shipments and u'ould be 1.7 per cent above the fourth quarter of 1951." -

Three Wood Technologists Advanced at Teco Lcborctory

Washington-Dr. Nicholas V. Poletika, technologist and research analyst, has been appointed assistant director of research at the Lumber and Wood Products Laboratory of Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association, according to Carl A. Rishell, research director of both organizations. Dr. Poletika has served as manager of the Teco Laboratory since 1949.

Robert R, Blumenstein, former assistant laboratory manager, has been named manager, with Charles H. Hoffman as assistant manager.

Dr. Poletika joined the staff in 1948, following studies at Yale University r,vhere he received.a master's degree in forestry, then the first Doctor of Forestrl, degree ever awarded by Yale. He has served as senior process engineer of glues and laminating at the Curtiss Wright laboratory, and as a research fellow at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. He is a member of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific society, and recipient of the first al.ard by Wood Magazine for outstanding research in the field of forest products.

Mr. Blumenstein has the longest technical service .e.oid at the laboratory, having joined the staff in 1944, the year after its establishment. Mr. Hoffman came in the next year, giving him the second longest record. Both men are wood technologists, having received their degrees from the Pennsylvania State College.

Gooey

It was an Ozark Mountain backwoods school, and the little boy entered the first grade. When the teacher asked him his name, he said it was "Gooey." No, he didn,t know how to spell it. He couldn't spell anything, and that's all there was to it. So "Gooey" he remained all through the term of school.

Just before the end of the term his mother came one day to visit the school, and the teacher said to her:

"Your son certainly has tJre most original name I have ever heard. f never heard the name 'Gooey' before."

Ccrlled on Edstern Trcrde

Alfred D. Bell of Hobbs Wall Lumber Company, before attending the Hoo-Hoo Convention at Denver last September made a trip through the East visiting Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, then Maine, Connecticut, and called on the trade in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington.

"Neither did I," said the mother. "But just before he was born I was reading a novel and the name of the hero was 'Gooey,' and I liked the name so well that I just called him'Gooey."'

"Wait a minute," said the teacher. "You say the name of the hero in the novel was 'Gooey'?"

"Sure," said the mother.

"FIow was it spelled?" asked the teacher, curiously. And the mother answered:

..G-IJ.Y."

United Lumber Yards Holds Successful Paint Sales Contest

How to build paint sales in a chain of retail lumber yards was successfully demonstrated when the United Lumber Yards of California with head office in Modesto and branch yards in nine other Valley localities completed their spring Paint Sales Contest with an.overall increase of 387o f.or April, May and June of 1952 as compared to the same period of 1951

By concentrating on promotion of exterior and interior finishes from the "Dutch Boy" Color Gallery, yard managers were able to increase the number of customers and the sales per customer. Winner for the three months was Frank Parkinson, manager of the Chowchilla yard with an increase in paint sales of 153%; Stan Widick, manager of the Empire yard was second with lt7/o.

Speaking of the need for an all-out paint effort, W. L. Pickens, Branch Yard Supervisor, says "In the matter of paint, 1951 was a year of decision for United Lumber. Yards. While several of the yards were doing a nice paint business, the overall picture of sales and inventory turnover was not up to the standard we desired. Believing that paint belongs in the retail lumber yard, but that a lumber yard has a somewhat different stocking problem than a paint store, we took a hard look at our operation. The obvious objec-

tive was to increase our sales volume and at the same time cut down our inventory."

Bill Pickens, as Branch Yard Supervisor, was given the specific assignment of accomplishing this objective. His first move was to team up with Howard MacCool the local "Dutch Boy" representative. They worked out a stock control sheet for each yard to aid the managers in the placing of orders and to standardize the amount of stock to be carried.

Mr. Pickens goes on to say: "The Color Gallery helped solve part of our problem. The fact that we would be able to offer a variety of ll2 colors in all types of inteiior and exterior paint from a much smaller basic inventory, gave promise of providing us with the turnover we desired, better inventory control, and at the same time we could offer better service than was possible u'ith the pre-mixed paints. Careful attention was given in each yard to arrange the Color Gallery with brushes and basic stock in such a manner as to give immediate impression of a fully balanced stock.

"To get customers into our stores, newspaper ads were run announcing the Color Galleries. Mailing lists were set up, and, using the 'Dutch Boy' cooperative advertising plan, post cards featuring the Color Gallery were obtained and a direct mail campaign was initiated.

"Sales began to improve in the fall of 1951. To see what we could do with an 'a11 out effort,' r,ve set up a contest between yards for the second quarter of 1952. As an incentive for the employees, a portable Bar-B-Que was offered to the yard which increased its paint sales the most for the second quarter of. L952 over the same period of 1951. As the yards vary greatly in size, the contest was placed on a percentage, rather than dollar, basis of improvement."

As an added punch to keep the contest from dragging toward the end, a special prize consisting of a trip to San Francisco, was announced at the end of the

"Old Sh.ky"-- Tale o[ a Tree Pabco Announces Financial Facts

Net sales of Pabco Products, Inc., for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, amounted to $35,727,371 compared with $37,836,382 for the preceding year, Chairman of the Board W. H. Lowe announ,ced in releasing the company's annual report.

Consolidated net profit for the year was $1,608,500, equal to $1.00 per share of common stock. Comparable net profit for the previous fiscal year, after giving retroactive effect to net reduction of $295,000 in Federal taxes,,was $3,459,833, equal to $2.27 a share.

fncome for the year just ended included dividends of $1,171,911 received from Fibreboard Products, fnc., compared with $827,517 in the previous year. Consolidated net profit does not include the company's pro rata share of undistributed earnings of Fibreboard which amounted to $1,676,557, equal to $1.11 per share for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952.

During the past fiscal year Pabco Products, Inc., expended $1,136,427 for plant and equipment compared with $3,628,321 in the 12 months ended June 30, 1951. This was less than depreciation charges of $1,386,929 last year.

A Douglas fir seedling came up green in the black wake of a forest fire a hundred years before the Pilgrim Fathers sailed around Cape Cod in the Mayflower. The baby tree's birthplace was in the then undreamed of Puget Sound wilderness. It grerl' on, surviving the burns of a fire that struck around it in its 15th year. So its life went on, through cycles of wet weather and of drought, escaping more fires, ever thickening and towering.

The Douglas fir's flourishing green crown stood in sight of the sails of Captain George Vancouver's ships of disco\rery in 1792-some 270 years after its seedling time. And so it stood when the sails of Captain William C. Talbot's cruising ship, the Julius Pringle, came in search of a sarvmill site a century ago.

Around the Civil War era the aging Douglas fir was passed by in wilderness log harvest. The tree, with 350 years of growth under its layers of bark, was perhaps too big for the bullteams and an uphill pull.

The same skidding problem was faced in the second logging, that of 1930. And by that ti'me the tree had a huge pitch burl half way up the bole that may have been mistaken for conk. Butt rot was beginning, at any rate. "Old Shaky" was the name for the tree. So "he" escaped the second log harvest as he had escaped the first and the attacks of many fires and towered on above young growth on the Hood Canal Tree Farm of Pope & Talbot, Inc.

Most of the wood in Old Shaky is yet sound and good and he has been taken at last out of the woods by the power of modern truck and tractor logging, and through the re-

Installations were completed during the year at Emeryville, Redwood City and South Gate, California, and at Henderson, Nevada, which will tend to improve quality, reduce costs and expand capacity.

Net working capital increased $73,168 during the year and amounted to $10,498,140 at year end. Current assets of $16,427,050 decreased $445,975 and current liabilities of 95,928,910 were $519,143 less than at June 30, 1951.

During the 1951-1952 fiscal year the con-rpany paid Federal income taxes of $1,560,000;it reduced its long term note issue by $750,000 to $10,819,000; it borrovi'ed 92,000,000 from banks to provide additional cash working funds.

Parts and Specifications Manual On Overhead Door Hardware

A comprehensive parts and specifications manual on or,erhead door hardware, designed for use by architects, engineers, and builders, has been published by Sturdee Steel Products Co. of Los Angeles.

It marks the first time in the history of the industry that a detailed manual describing every type of home and industrial overhead door installation (excepting roll-up types) has been compiled.

The new manual includes detailed specifications for standard and "low head" jamb types, "roll-in" track, and pivot installations. Door truss assembly information and recommendations for door dimensions also are included.

"Due to the ever increasing demand for variable overhead door hardware units, Sturdee has constantly sought to pioneer, engineer, and develop suitable units to meet various door operating requirements," said Roscoe Fowler, president of the company.

"fnasmuch as width, height, and weight cause so many variables, Sturdee has produced a broad range of sets to meet these different conditions,"'he declared.

The catalog correlates all different models into a selfexplanatory booklet which defrnes the purpose each unit serves. It also was designed as an aid to designers and builders and as a buying guide for the contract hardware purchaser to clearly illustrate to his clientele the complete specifications and dimensional data for each model, he said.

Celotex Announces Fall Advertising Campaign

Even though the 1952 record of home building is headed for a total which may exceed the number of homes built last year, The Celotex Corporation has announced a fall advertising campaign directed at continued stimulation of the urge to build and modernize homes.

"This fall programr" according to Henry W. Collins, Celotex vice president and director, r'using two-color, full pages in the Saturday Evening Post and four-color, half pages in Better Homes and Gardens and the American Home, in addition to our regular list of architectural, builder and building material dealer publications, will tend to mairitain a momentum which will help to carry present building activity into anil through 1953.

"There are conflicting opinions among government and private authorities, as to whether or not the supply of homes is catching up with demand, but a survey of any city and most towns will prove that there still are millions of people living in, slums and sub-standard housing.

"In fact, the so-called saturation point for homes in all cost brackets, particularly in the ten to twenty thousand dollar range, is far from being reached or even approached."

Copies of the publication may be obtained without charge from Sturdee Steel Products Co., 6820 Brynhurst Ave., Los Angeles 43.

Now, when piling loads, the driver of a Ross Fork Truck can hold the truck right where he wants it even on a grade, Automatic Brake Lock. another. advanced-engineering feature of Ross Fork Trucks. . leaves the driver free to manipulate the load. Result? Faster piling, safer piling and neat, square piles... even on rough ground.

Here's how the Ross Automatic Brake Lock works: As the truck approaches.the pile, the driver flips an electric switch. When truck is in desired position, he applies the foot brakes as usual. The brakes lock automatically. . and stay locked when he removes his foot from the brake pedal. This leaves him free to concentrate his attention on hoisting and tilting operations because the truck cannot creep forward or backward. !(/hen ready to back away from the pile, he again flips the electric switch, unlocking the brakes and returning them to normal foot-pedal operation.

Think of the time this Ross feature can save for you ! It's another of a long list of features developed and pioneered by ROSS. Remember, look to ROSS lrsl for the latest!

Peoples Lumber Company Holds Formal Reopening of Camarillo Yard

The formal reopening of the Peoples Lumber Company's branch yard on Barry Street at Somis Road, Camarillo, Calif., was held.on Saturday, September 13, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. v;hen the public was invited to inspect their done-over establishment and visit the various departments of the plant. Refreshments were served and there were favors for the children.

Forced to move from a location it had occupied for 14 years because of the route of the Freeway through the town, the ,company not only moved the original building but also carried on a modernization program at the same

time. The yard was closed for business only a half day during the entire operation.

Ten acres were purchased for the new site, and the land not occupied by the firm has been subdivided and offered for sale to the public.

The original building has been converted into a modern sales display room and office. One of the added features is a "Home Planning Department" located on the mezzanine floor of the sales display office. Another innovation is the "coffee room" added for the convenience of both customers and employees alike. Displays include builders'

E. S. Evans, Jr., president of the Evans Froducts Company, Plymouth, Michigan, has announced the acquisition of a new $1,500,000 plywood plant at Winchester, Oregon, from the Mar-Linn Timber Corporation of Eugene, Ore.

Operation of the new plant, completed in 1951, will be under the direction of H. B. Garrison, vice president of the Evans company's Western Division. In addition to the new plant at Winchester, the company also operates plants at Coos Bay, Oregon, and Vancouver, B. C.

The modern plant at Winchester is constructed of steel, aluminum and concrete. The plant buildings have concrete floors, steel structural members and aluminum siding and roofs which are heat-reflective and make for interior coolness. A complete sprinkler system and modern pumping equipment give the new plant up-to-date fire-fighting facilities.

The plant is on a 160-acre tract of land on the main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad and on U. S. 99, one of the main north-south highways on the West Coast. It is near Roseburg, Oregon, and only 20 miles from a 4OO,000,00o-board-foot tract of Douglas Fir also owned by the Evans Products Company. Included on the Winchester property is a 55-acre log pond capable of holding 50 million board feet of lumber. A continuous source of water is assured from the nearby Umpqua River.

The newly-acquired plant has an annual production capacity of 48 million square feet of Douglas Fir plywood. It contains over 83,000 square feet of floor space and has facilities for manufacturing both exterior and interior grades of plywood.

All equipment in the plant is new. Included are: a 20-opening 4 x 8-foot Washington hot plate press ; two 1l0-inch Elliott Bay clippers; a l2-section, 6-line Moore dryer of the latest type; one 48-inch 6-drum Yates sander;

er six-deck tray system 150 feet long; one 80x 110 electric drive Bamford lathe; two 1,500-gpm fire pumps and five two-ton Clark lift trucks. The new plant has an oil-burning power plant rather than one burning wood.

fn announcing the purchase, E. S. Evans, Jr., said: "The proximity of this plant to our Umpqua River timber tract is of considerable importance to us. Most of the usable timber in the Pacific Northwest is gettting more and more remote from the lumbering operation logging proceeds. Two-lane roads lead into our timber stand."

W. J. Ritchie, sales manager of Evans'Western Division, pointed out that with the acquisition of the new plant at Winchester, the division's plywood-making capacity will be increased to nearly 100,000,000 square feet yearly.

"We will ,continue to produce plywood at our Coos Bay plant," he said.

SR 120 to GCPR---Freisht Adjustments

Washington, D.C., Sept. 26-0PS today provided wholesalers and retailers of a wide range of commodities with methods of adjusting their ceiling prices to reflect increased inbound transportation costs.

The action is required by such increased transportation costs as those resulting from boosts in rail rates ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission and hikes in parcel post rates by the Post Office Department.

Commodities most affected by the action include furniture, major household appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, stoves), lumber and other building materials and agricultural chemicals. OPS said that it is impossible to indicate the specific price impact of today's adjustment because of the rn'ide range of commodities and transportation costs involved.

Previously, the agency permitted ceiling price increases because of higher inbound freight costs for retailers subject to the provisions of the retail consumer goods regulation (Ceiling Price Regulation 7). This action, affecting handlers of furniture, home furnishings and apparel covered by CPR 7, took into account increases varying f.rom 6 to 25 per cent in transportation rates, including parcel post, and of 35 to 130 per cent in less-than-carload-1ot rail rates for many furniture articles in some transportation zones. Generally, the rate increases were authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Post Office Department.

Today's General Ceiling Price Regulation, Supplementary Regulation 120, effective October l, 1952, extends substantially the same freight cost adjustment methods to wholesalers and to retailers who establish ceilings under the GCPR. The action covers transportation cost iricreases from the GCPR base period-December 19, 1950, to January 25, 195l-to the effective date of this Supplementary Regulation.

The adjustment is granted, OPS said, in line with the previous actions taking freight increases into account.

She Lecrrned Suddenly

The golf pro stood waiting for his next pupils when two ladies approached. To the one nearest he said: "Do you wish to learn golf?" "No," she said, "It's my friend who wants to learn. I learned yesterday."

He Didn't Rcte

The doctor in the rural district, examining the children in the local school, found one little boy sadly underweight. "Sonny," he asked, "do you drink any milk?" "No, sir," said the boy. "You live on a farm but don't drink any milk?" "No, sir. We don't have hardly enough for the hogs."

Thomcs Jefferson Once Sqid:

"It would be dangerous delusion if our confidence in the men of our choice should silence our fears for the safety of our rights. Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded on jealousy, not on confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power. Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence will go. In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution."

Shcrring

Sharing is the great and imperative need of our time. An unshared life is not living. He who shares does not lessen, but greatens his life, especially if sharing be done not formally or conventionally, but with such heartiness as springs out of an understanding of the meaning of the religion of sharing.-Rabbi Stephen Wise.

The Boy

Oh, the eagerness and freshness of youth ! How the boy enjoys his food, fiis sleep, his sports, his companions, his truant days ! His life is an adventure, he is widening his outlook, he is extending his dominion, he is conquering his

kingdom ! How cheap are his pleasures, how ready his enthusiasm ! In boyhood I have had more delight on a haymow with two companions and a big dog-delight that came nearer intoxication than I have ever had in all the subsequent holidays of my life. When youth goes, and manhood' comes, much comes with it. We exchange a world of delightful impressions and sensations for a world of duties and studies and meditations. The youth enjoys what the man tries to understand. Lucky is he who can get his grapes to market and keep the bloom upon them, who can carry some of the freshness and eagerness and simplicity of youth into his later years, who can have a boy's heart below a man's head.-John Burroughs.

Interviewing An Alleged Grect Man

"You can tell the paper," the great man said, "I refuseil an interview.

I have nothing to say on the subject, sir, Nothing to say to you."

And then hle talked 'til the sun went down. And the chickens went to roost:

And he seized the coat of the poor Post man, And never his hold he loosed.

And the sun went down and the moon came up, And he talked 'til the dawn of the day;

Though he said, "On this subject mentioned by you I have nothing at all to say."

And down the reporter dropped to sleep, And flat on the floor he lay;

And the last he heard was the great man's word: "I have nothing at all to say."

-By O.Henry.

All Nigrht Longr

The golf beginner, after numerous "whiffs" at the ball, got all mad and shouted: "I'll stay here until I hit this ball." But the old Scotch caddie said: "Weel, then, ye can get some ither laddie to haud yer sticks, for this is ma bath nicht."

Climbing For Scfety

"But, your Ffonor, f was not drunk." "Then explain why this officer found you climbing a lamp post." "Because, judge, a couple of crocodiles had been following me around, and I thought I'd just climb the post and escape them."

Tree Farming One of ldaho's Main Hopes for Future, says Governor

Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, Sept.2O-Tree farming constitutes one of Idaho's main hopes for its future economic welfare, Governor Len Jordan said today.

Speaking from a rustic platform on the O.K. Smith tree farm near here before more than 400 persons attending an observance of the tenth anniversary of Idaho tree farming, Governor Jordan said that just as the lumber industry opened much of Idaho to settlement so will it provide a livelihood for future citizens.

"And its insurance for survival," he said, "lies in the establishment and successful continuation of forestry programs such as tree farming, particularly private programs which do not depend upon taxpayer support. Indeed, by its very nature as a private, as opposed to public, undertaking, tree farming contributes to state and federal government through taxes and to the economic health of the people by providing the resource which creates jobs.

"f feel very sure, as I hear reports of additions to the tree farm program, that we no longer need fear a timber famine, in Idaho or anywhere else that this farseeing movement is being carried on. The lumber industry and its farmer cooperators should feel very proud of their role as conservationists and developers of the resource that will

enable our state to continue its growth and prosperity.".

Sponsored by the Western Pine association, the observance was held on a farmer-owned tree farm considered to be one of the finest examples of a managed small timber stand in the entire country. Since 1934, when Smith began his timber management program, he has harvested some 100 cords of fuelwood, 130 thousand feet of sawlogs, 15 cars of pulpwood, 8 truckloads of poles and 400 sawed ties as well as providing grazing for 60-80 head of cattle.

Today there is more wood on his 576 acres than there was when the program was started. In addition, the growth rate has more than doubled due to the thinning.

Idaho white pine trees on Smith's side of a fence line tower more than 100 feet while trees of the same age on the other side are less than half that height and only onethird as large in diameter.

Smith also replaced most of the buildings on his farm 'ivith nerv ones built from timber cut on his own land. Already producing forest crops annually, the Smith acreage was certified into the Tree Farm system in 1945.

Other speakers on the observance program included L. R. Pugh, president of the St. Maries Lumber cqmpany; Fielden L. Poirier of Blanchard, a rancher-tree farmer; Walter S. Johnson of San Francisco, president of Western Pine association, and Burl C. Hagadone, Coeur d'Alene newspaper publisher. A picnic lunch was served to all who attended by northern Idaho lumber firms.

Installs Moore Dry Kiln

The C. G. Bennett Lumber Company, St. Regis, Montana, operatea6footUnion Iron Works band mill with a 10'shot-

New Moore croge-circulcttion Kiln re- gun feed with eleccently plcced in opercrtion ct C. G. tric set works and Benaett Lumbe:' Compcny, St, Regis, air dogs. The mill is Montcacr' equipped with a

Prineville edger and is operated by steam. The planing mill consists of a Yates-American planer and a Canadian type trimmer operated by electricity.

This company previously air dried their lumber, but have recently modernized their operation with the installation of a Moore Cross-Circulation Kiln and a Gerlinger lift truck and carrier to handle lumber in unit packages.

The new kiln is of wood construction employing steel roof trusses to support the roof. Seventy-two inch diameter fans mounted on a longitudinal shaft overhead above' the loads of lumber are driven by a single 30 h.p. motor' This fan system is equipped with automatic fan reversal so that it is not necessary to reverse the fan rotation manually. The special reversing switch is set for a pre-determined fan reversing cycle and this is carried out automatically.

Drying conditions of temperature and humidity are automatically regulated with a Moore Master Controller which is equipped with dual dry bulb system and automatic ventilator control feature. A Recording Steam Pressure Gauge gives an accurate daily record of steam pressure from the boiler and a Moore Pressure Controller regulates this steam pressure to the kiln to meet the actual demands for steam of the lumber being dried.

The C. G. Bennett Mill was originally built in 1941 and operates on a sustained yield basis, which makes it a permanent operation. Over the past years, with only one exception, and this due to the extreme cold rveather and deeir snow, the mill has operated on an all-year basis.

The capacity of the mill is between 8 and 10 million feet per year of Ponderosa pine, Idaho white pine, fir and larch, which is sold through the Wales Lumber Co., who have offices in the Old National Bank Building, Spokane, Washington. The company is a member of the Western Pine Association.

C. G. Bennett is manager of the company and Ernie Wales is secretary. Walter Galford is in charge of the kiln drying.

Retail Lumber Dealers Industry Advisory Temporary Subcommittee Meets With OPA Officials

Recommendation that OPS consider suspension of controls on their industry was made by members of the Retail Lumber Dealers Industry Advisory Temporary Subcommittee at a meeting with OPS officials.

Committeemen estimated that lumber retail prices averaged 10 per cent below ceilings established by the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR), which froze prices on January 26, L95L.

They estimated that about 95 per cent of lumber retailers were still operating under GCPR ceilings, though they also have the option:of pricing alternatively under Supplementary Regulations D and 87 to the GCPR. SR 29 permits resellers generally to add their customary markup to in'creased acquisition costs, and SR 87 makes similar provisions for resellers of lumber and wood products.

Members of the subcommittee said fevv retailers were using SR 87, because of the requirement that ceilings must be recomputed to reflect changes in acquisition costs. They said this was virtually impossible for most dealers. For this provision to be.practical, members said, it was necessary for a dealer to keep a perpetual inventory, which was not the industry practice.

Committeemen felt prices in the industry were at levels sufficiently below ceilings to justify suspension of controls under OPS standards.

They suggested that SR 87 be revised to make it more rn'orkable for their industry in case OPS found the suspension of controls was not justified, or as a recontrol measure in case prices should approach ceilings in the future.

Committeemen proposed that retailers be given the option of applying their base period markups either to manufacturers' f.o.b. mill ceilings plus inbound freight', or to the landed acquisition costs for typical purchases.

Since manufacturers' ceiling prices have been spelled out in dollars and cents, no recomPutation of ceilings would be required as prices fluctuated. The alternative of using the landed acquisition cost for typical purchases would protect retailers who purchased lumber from wholesalers or distribution yards at prices higher than manufacturers' ceilings.

Committeemen protested that retailers should not be required under SR 87 to follorv the market in determining their ceilings, when manufacturers are not required to do so.

They said the recalculating requirements of SR 87 would disturb the normal relationship of their prices. The average inventory turnbver is three times a year. Many items are not reordered for months at a time. If a substantial change in cost were experienced on one item, they pointed out, when the ceiling was recalculated it would be out of line r,,rith the ceiling prices on related items and grades which had not been reordered.

The meeting was conducted by A. G. Paul, Jr., chief, Lumber and Wood Products Branch, OPS.

Other OPS officials present were: James M. Owens, assistant branch chief; Stanley R. Strauss, branch counsel;

I\{arvin Bacon, division economist, Forest Products Di'r'ision; Donald K. Weasmer, branch economist; Victor Wheeler and Lyle C. Bryant, economists; George T. Vogel, attorney; Dante Galotta, Office of Enforcement; J. A. Murray, Ofifice of Accounting, and Walter R. Moulton, Office for Industry Advisory Committees.

Members of the subcommittee present were:

Don A. Campbell, Boner-Campbell Lumber Co., Lebanon, Ky.; Gerald A. Jewett, Jewett Lumber Company, Des Moines, fa., and Norman P. Mason, \Mm..P. Proctor Co., North Chelmsford, Mass.

Part-Time Forest Products Educcrtion

That is what the Forest Products Research Society means to thousands of self-made or college-trained men who earn their livelihoods from wood. School's in again as the Society enters the most active fall-winter term in its history.

Founded in 1947, and today proudly numbering over 2440 active members, the Forest Products Research Society is entering its 6th and most heavily scheduled Fall season. In the next two months wood industries men will have their choice of eleven FPRS Section meetings scattered from Vancouver, B. C. to the Statler in New York City, where they can hear as well as participate in discussion of subjects with which they are either directly or indirectly concerned. From "Wood in Housing" to "Wood in Marine lJsage," from "Wood in Packaging" to "Waste as Core Stock," and a multitude of wood subjects in between, the entire industry absorbs an education at FPRS meetings.

Colton Lumber Company Moves to New Site

The Colton Lumber Company, Colton, Calif., recently moved to a new location at 333 East I Street where it has a modern store and office building, and yard. Lee S. Harris is manager and C. W. (Tobe) Jones is assistant manager.

The new store and office building is a 50 by 50 foot, modern, fireproof structure, completely air conditioned, with acoustic ceiling, asphalt tile floor, fluorescent lighting with convenient arrangement of merchandise displays.

With a frontage of 100 feet on I Street between 10th and 11th Streets, the new site extends completely through the block from H to I Streets. A driveway the length of the yard enables patrons to enter from one street and leave

from the other, or to enter and leave from the same street, as desired.

The company had a grand opening to introduce the new store and yard to the public of the entire Valley area surrounding Colton. Numerous gifts of merchandise were awarded to those who attended the opening.

Colton Lumber Company was established about 25 years ago by R. R. Proctor and Walter Decker. The yard was purchased by John Suverkrup Lumber Co. of Riverside in 1937 and has since been operated as the Colton Lumber Company for the Suverkrup concern. The former site of the yard on J Street has been purchased by the state as part of a new Freeway right-of-way.

New Loom Weaves Wood Into Fabrics

A revolutionary new loom, which weaves strips of rvood into fabric as swiftly and exactly as others weave cotton and wool was unveiled in San Francisco recently by its inventor, L. P. Paschich of. 2559 35th Avenue.

The loom produces an entirely new fibric, soft and flowing, which was shown to the public for the first time at the Western Living and Home Exposition, to be held at Civic Auditorium September 27 through October 5, Paschich said.

One of the most novel features of this fabric, which is pliable enough to make curtains and draperies particularly suitable for modern rooms with enormous glass areas, is that the slats may be easily dyed before rveaving, he stated.

This produces a contrasting pattern with white or colored cording which resembles custom-made handwoven material. Special color schemes can be followed out, he said, and special care is taken in the weaving to work growth characteristics of the natural wood into highly-textured effects.

Of general interest to both retail and wholesale lumber yards are the new Tally Cards designed to speed-up all tally operations in and around lumber yards with the additional feature of being adaptable for milling, remanufacturing and kiln operations. Basically the Tally Card is a twosection perforated card which shows a tally record by kind, size, grade and footage of lumber. The top section is stapled to the lumber-unit for storage in the yard and the lower-section is used for office records, shipping information, as an inventory control and is also practical for labor and production costing. Large one'inch numbers on each section make for eary identification. These new Tally Cards are printed in a variety of sizes and styles on weather-proof card-stock rvith non-fading inks. They are also printed in a wide range of color-stocks to identify various operations arouud yards, or to identify different species of lumber. When an order to ship is made out the cards are pulled from the inventory to make up the order. The part of the card with large numbers stapled to the lumber-unit enables the .carrier driver to pick out the lumber by specific number without getting off his machine. By the same token, lumber designed for kiln, remanufacturing or milling can be selected and put into production without any confusion and with efficiency.

A number of retail and wholesale yards throughout the country are using these new Tally Cards for time saving, record keeping and costing. Samples and full information can be secured from Eastman Tag & Lalel Co., 548 Fourth Street, San Francisco 7.

By George M. Hansen \ilest Coast Lumbermen's Association

A home is probably the largest and most lasting investment made by the average individual; when the house is of wood, it is also the easiest of possessions to keep fresh looking and modern.

Every house, whether new or old, has to be painted; and ,since the retail dealer furnishes the lumber, he'is in a prime position to sell the paint also.

We benefit from the experience of centuries in the painting of wood. Wood is one of the earliest used building materials, and while methods and finishes are new, the painting characteristics of individual lumber 'species have not changed. There is no danger of monotony in the finishes for a wood house because the paint manufacturers are continually creating new colors and kinds of finishes. At the same time, the job of application of the various types of paint has become. simpler and less subject to error; however, there are so many new kinds of paint and other wood finishes that the details of application of any one product should be obtained from instructions on the can or from the manufacturer.

Wood is truly the all-purpose material for home construction for it is used both inside and out and can readily take and hold the beautiful new finishes and paints.

Basic differences in finishes usually hinge on whether they are to be used inside where weathering elements are unimportant or outside where the finish must withstand the wear of wind, rain, and sun. fn general the same effects can be obtained both inside and out but different finish materiaLs are used.

The finish will differ, too, depending on the kind of wear that is invoh'ed. A scuff resisting, resilient finish is desirable on a floor, while washability, gloss and other qualities are judged more important on woodwork. For these reasons it is most important in selling paint and other finishes to ask the customer where the finish is to be used and the effect desired.

The first impression of a house is that given by the outside. The color harmony and type of finish will catch the eye, and the setting and quality of workmanship will cement the impression.

Wood exteriors, whether siding, board and batten or shakes, offer the greatest variety of effects possible. The wood can be painted with pigmented paints which coat the wood so as to cover the pattern of the wood grain or given a "natural" finish which may have enough pigment to highlight the wood pattern or may be clear so as to protect the wood with a minimum of color change.

The conventional pigmented paint finish is ever popular whether it be a cozy white bungalow with green shutters or a sophisticated pastel-pink cubical dream house with a fuchsia door. There are many new types of paint on the market. The old standard for quality of paint was the pmount of linseed oil and white lead contained and while this is still a reliable guide for "lead and oil" paints, there

are now paints available which ttse other materials. Under normal conditions in buying knorvn brands price is a good criterion on paint quality because competition guarantees your getting what you pay for.

The manufacturer's instructions on the label are the most important guides in using various paint,s but a paint can do a satisfactory job only if it is applied to clean dry wood in dry weather. It doesn't pay to paint through dusk hours be'cause of the dew which quickly dampens outdoor surfaces.

The popular new "natural" finishes have an extra appeal because the inherent beauty of the grain pattern in the wood is,preserved and intensified. The U. S. Forest Products Laboratory has tested the main types of "natural" finishes for exterior surfaces and advises that the price one has to face for the beauty is one of more frequent maintenance and redoing. A conventional paint covering should last 4 to 6 years before needing renewal, whereas "natural" finishes nearly always need renerval at least once a year. A compensation however is the fact that application of natural finishes is so simple that even an amateur can usually follow the directions.

The Forest Products Laboratory types the "natural" finishes for exteriors of houses as wood 'sealers, oils, and varnishes. Still to be found is a finish which will keep the same color and absence of gloss of the board as it comes from the lumber yard. Any protective finish penetrates the wood and darkens it and adds some degree of gloss or lustre.

The recommended "natural" finishes for exteriors are the wood sealer types which are much like varnishes in composition with the important difference that they contain more thinner and penetrate deeper than varnishes' They do not penetrate as deeply as the oil finishes, however, and do not darken the u'ood as much. While this finish is best so far as keeping the beauty of the wood is concerned, it.has less resistance to decay. For this reason wood sealers are sometimes thinned r'vith concentrated rvood preservative so as to add decay resistant qualities to the finish.

Oil finishes penetrate deepest and have the least lustre or gloss as a result; however, they darken the wood more than either wood sealers or varnishes and continue to get darker with age. Oil finishes do not harden the wood surface, and their very nature tends to catch and hold dust and dirt. In damp climates or areas with prolonged periods of rain, oil finishes will encourage the grolvth of mildew unless concentrated preservative is added.

Varnish finishes more nearly coat the wood rvith a protective layer. The result is a gloss which is seldom desirable on exteriors. At first, varnish may not darken the wood any more than wood sealer finishes but in time there may be more darkening. After several renewals on exterior walls, varnish may develop milky areas, cracks. and scaling;

then it is necessary to laboriously remove the old varnish before putting on the new finish. Varnish cannot be satisfactorily painted over without removal. Well aged oil and wood sealer finishes that have not built up a coating can be painted over.

'Fidsh'materials used on 'the ,is.tsrior .wood*r"ork differ from exterior finishes chiefly in their.composition and also in the much greater variety of types of finish available. The job to be done by interior finishes is mainly to protect the raw wood from stains and smudges as well as to be decorative. Flqors must re.sist wear, and light colored woodwork must be washable. The finishes available are many, and include waxes, shellac, varnishes, lacquers, enamels, casein paints, water paints, stains, etc.

Many interior finishes are washable. Since it is in the home that the amateur painter really goes to work, the manufacturers have aimed at finishes that are easy to apply, Just as in painting exteriors, it is important in painting interior woodwork to be certain that the surface is clean and dry. The smoother the wood has been sanded, the finer will be the finished surface.

It is difficult to make recommendations as to the type of finish for interior woodwork except where special conditions must be met. Experience has shown that high gloss enamel is good for bathrooms and kitchens because of the more frequent r,r'ashings involved. Wood floors u'sually receive a final high quality varnish or floor enamel finish because of the extra resistance to wear needed.

Hardwoods and some open-grained soft woods require a filler before a satisfactory finish can be applied. While many finishes can be applied satisfactorily by an amateur, on the other hand there are finishes requiring the knowledge and skill of a master painter. Fine piano-smooth surfaces, matching colors, 'selection of compatible paints, pleasing and lasting finishes on difficult surfaces are all signs of an expert paint job.

If the home to be painted has a great deal of woodwork that is unevenly spaced, the dealer might suggest painting it the same color as the walls so as to avoid "cutting up" the room.

The floor or coverings normally should be the darkest in color, with a lighter color on the walls and the lightest color on the ceiling.

Rooms on the north side of the house need plenty of warm colors such as orange and yellow.

Rooms on the south ,side need cool subdued greens and blues. Colors for east and west side rooms will vary, depending on the amount of sunlight they get.

A room in dark tones will appear smaller, and a small room will appear more spacious rvhen painted in light colors.

The wood in a room is serving its decorative destiny best when the beauty of its grain is not obscured by the protective finish. This may be selected vertical grain with the uniform pattern of parallel lines or slash or flat grain which brings out the full, contrasts of color and the figure in the wood. Selected paneling featuring knots, natural stains and white pocket offer even more variety.

While color is easy to apply to wood whether it be painted or a "natural" finish. the inherent color of the wood itself

offers beauty to the discriminating. Using West Coast woods as an example, Sitka spruce offers a blond silky ivory color, while West Coast hemlock is popular for its uniform desert tan tones. Western red cedar can offer uniform warm reds and warm browns in the heartwood or a striking contrast of ivory white in the sapwood. The well known Douglas fir is distinguished by the light red-brown of the heartwood and the yellow ivory of its sapwood. But these inherent color's are significant only in the most "natural" of finishes. All other finishes will add a pigment. Wood will be beautiful with any finish when good materials are correctly applied on clean dry u'ood.

Wood is attractive and at home rvhether in the modest bungalow or the luxurious manor, whether enameled or shellacked. Wood and finishing materials are "naturals" for the lumber dealer.

Litercture on Forest Conservcrtion

Oscar Evans, the forestry expert of the American Forest Products Corporation, has conceived a new approach to the problem of preserving the forests of the nation. His message is directed to the men who work in the forests, the loggers, fire patrol, mill hands and truckers. There is an attractively illustrated pledge addressed to the boss in which the worker will do everything in his power to preserve the forest in his falling, bucking or skidding operations, to prevent harm to young growth, and fire or conditions that lead to insect attacks.

On another sheet are a series of illustrations showing the various operations in which the lumber worker can exert care in p:eserving the forest and his job. These pieces of literature are designed to reach the worker, and it is suggested the most effective way would be to insert in his pay envelope.

Bill is a vereran of the Korean fighting where he had the rank of Lieutenant. Before entering sales work he spent some time at the mills of the company familiarjzing himself with the business.

New Color Demonstrator Display Unit

Newest in the line of practical sales stimulator,s that have been created by Olympic Stained Products Co. of Seattle for the benefit of their dealers is a "Color Demonstrator" display unit which invites prospectir:e users of Olympic Stain to actually take brush in hand and prove to themselves in a jiffy, and on the spot, the attractiveness of Olympic's 16 Western tones and the ease with rvhich they are applied, either on new or weathered wood. This Color Demonstrator, designed for counter top use, is substantially built and very compact, requiring a space only 30" x 18" x 6%". Dominating the background is a colorful replica of an artist's palette and brushes, with the invitation "Choose your Tone-try your lland." Hanging on the background (right) is an actual brush, with compartments belorv for turps and wiping rag. Flanking these are trialsize cans of all 16 colors of Olympic Stain, for use by the customer while making a color choice. At the extreme left of the unit is a large pocket to accommodate sample swatches of wood.s and shakes on which. the prospect can brush the colors he is considering.

CPR l7l-Untreqted Ecrstern Poles crnd Piling

Dollars-and-cents producer's' ceiling and piling produced in the easte:n half prices on most poles \\rere announced todav bv the Office of of the United States Price Stabilization.

The ceilings are prescribed in Ceiling Price Regulation 171, effective September 22, 1952.

The regulation also provides a method for determining ceiling prices for sales of poles and piling by concentrators. The nerv ceilings are on average 15.6 percent higher than ceilings established by the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR) on January 26, 1951.

The increase was authorized to correct a disparity between the prices of lumber on one hand and poles and piling on the other which was frozen into the price structure by the GCPR.

55 million seedlings at the Forest Industries tree nursery at Nisqually, Washington, will have been propagated by 1953 for planting on privately owned tax-paying land.

fn summing up the resulting benefits, Mr. Pickens states: "All yards entered into this sales effort with enthusiasm. It demonstrated what can be done if given specific attention. We are convinced that paint sales will remain at a higher level, but another special push will produce even better results now that the men have learned how to sell paint.

"The Color Gallery, competition with an incentive for the winner, and determination to do the job bigger and better, has changed our paint stock from shelf fillers ts shelf movers."

Public and Privatc Building

Soars in Los Angeles

Southern California government spending for public works in August shot up to the greatest total for a like month on record and to the second highest monthly dollar volume in history, with a jump of 75.4% above the July total and an increase of.27.9/o over the August figure last year.

Public works put under way last month in the Southland totaled $56,353,169 lor 259 projects, compared with $32,130,549 for 283 projects in July and $44,069,163 for 257 projects in August, 1951, the Southwest Building & Contractor reports-.

The strong rise came both in civil public works and in military and naval construction, the latter spurting 55lo above the July volume to a total of $12,954,617 last month. New civil public works were featured by a spectacular total in Los Angeles city, where the Federal government launched one hospital project for $17,912,000 and the city of Los Angeles started a public housing project for $4,195,000. August's activity sent total spending for public works by various governmental agencies in Southern California to $301,870,71O ior 2135 projects during the first eight months of 1952, establishing an all-time high for the period, against $272,472,167 for l9O8 projects in the corresponding 1951 months.

Remarks by Ottinger at U. S. Plywood Annual Meeting of Stockholders

New York-The following is a summary of remarks made by Lawrence Ottinger, president, United States Plywood Corporation, at the annual meeting of its stockholders.

For our fiscal year ended April 30, 1952, orr sales volume was about the same as it was during the prior year though our profits were lower, mainly because of increased taxes and the competitive condition in the Fir plywood market. The profits for the first quarter of th.is year were adversely affected by a general strike which closed two of our mills for three weeks.

For several years our company has been engaged in changing its direction toward proprietary products, either acquired or developed by our enlarged research organization. Presently the most important of these is Novoply which has been so successfully marketed that an addition to the present plant, increasing its production by 70/o, is now in the course of construction. Other new and important products, on which we have been working, are ready for production.

\Me have-continued to enlarge our distributing system and there are now 58 units, including 15 in the U.S.-Mengel group, through which our merchandise is being sold. Some of these are not yet in full operation.

Because of our new distributing units and our new products, our volume is being maintained and will probably increase. Our price structure is satisfactory on all products

excepting Fir plywood. Because of high Fir plyu'ood production, competition in that product is keen and successful operation is largely contingent on the combination of sales effort, high quality and versatility of product line. The company manufactures only about 3O/o of the Fir plywood which it sells, the rest being secured by longterm contracts with mills whose product we purchase.

While our volume of Fir plywood is increasing, the mounting sales of other products will reduce its percentage of our overall business and will be a less important part of our operation.

The company is embarked on a large-advertising and promotional campaign, devoted largely to its hardwoods and specialties and ties in with the promotional campaign of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

We are generally satisfied with our ventures in foreign countries and intend to continue such develoDments rvhen favorable opportunities arise.

The success of all enterprise must rest to a considerable extent upon underlying economic conditions. Our company has wide diversification of products, a strong research clevelopment program and a greatly enlarged distribution system. Our financial position is strong.

However, the present national economy is based upon the quicksands of political expediency and its attendant inflation. We have done our best to protect ourselves against the dangerous-possibilities latent in this situation. Assuming a continuation of prevailing conditions, we anticipate a satisfactory result for our fiscal year.

U.S. and Canadian Foresters To Hold Forest Fires Drop 21 Pet Cent Joint Meeting in Montreal

An attendance of 1,000 foresters from the United States and Canada is expected at the joint meeting of the Society of American Foresters and the Canadian Institute of Forestry to be held in the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, November 17-20.

The sessions will be officially opened by K. G. Fensom of Vancouver, B. C., president of the Canadian group, and George L. Drake of Shelton, Wash., president of the American society. They have announced that all foresters and friends of forestry everywhere, whether members of the host societies or not. are welcome to attend.

Centered around the theme "Trends in North American Forestry," the program will have 100 speakers and will feature two general sessions and seven technical sessions during the four-day meeting. The technical sessions are for foresters with specialized interests in the fields of professional forestry education ; silviculture ; forest management; forest utilization; forest economics and taxation ; forest recreation, wildlife, and range manag'ement; and public relations.

Washington, August 10.-The number of forest fires in the United States dropped 21 per cent from 1950 to 1951.

The area burned over showed even bigger decrease, dropping from 15,518,540 acres in 1950 to 10,781,039 acres last year.

The Agriculture Department's forest service today said the report reflects an increased effort on the part of the American public to prevent forest fires.

Another factor contributing to the better showing, the service said, is increased organized forest protection given to privatelyowned land by states.

This inCludes fire spotting by lookout towers or air patrols by organized fire fighting crews.

Florida, with 3,561,388 acres, led the states in acres burned last year. Florida also led in 1950.

Other states with more than 100,000 acres burned last year included California, 288,644; Oregon, 153,793; Keritucky, 251,693; Alabama, 378,018 ; Arkansas, 175,573; Georgia, 1,1 11,114; Louisiana, 470,839; Mississippi, 1,084,135; North Carolina, 208,026; Oklahoma, 949,993; South Carolina, 154,827; Tennessee, 185,827; Texas, 429,214; Missouri, 910,960.

\(/estern Pine Association Obseryes Tree Farm Anniyersary at Semi-AnnualMeeting

''i

Portland, Sept. 12-The nationi tree farm program will have a "lasting and beneficial effect upon the lives of present and future generations," some 200 Western Pine lumbermen were told here today as they wound up their two-day semi-annual association meeting in the Multnomah hotel.

Leo V. Bodine of Washington, D.C., executive vice-president of the National Lumber Manufacturers association, told the pine operators that tree farming is a "powerful argument for freedom of enterprise and for reliance upon hope of profit as a release mechanism for extra effort, careful planning and ingenuity."

"It is an avowal of faith in the American system," he said, "because tree farming ventures, spanning a century in time, are drafted in reliance on principles of government upon which this nation has prospered and grown to a strength unequaled in recorded history."

Bodine's address to the meeting, which was devoted chiefly to observance of the tenth anniversary of tree farming in the l2-state western pine region, also lauded the conservation program as an indication that the lumber industry can be counted on to rise to its problems.

"We should, therefore," he said, "square our shoulders

and hold our heads a bit higher, confident in the knowledge that this industry has helped as have few others in the building of a nation and is now taking steps to provide for the future in a measure that no other industry can equal."

Walter S. Johnson of San Francisco, Western Piire association president, called on the western pine industry to add more tree farms to its growing list.

A decade of record production in the pine region, he said, had taken some 63 billion board feet from the forests. "But," he said, "that represents only about 80 board feet per acre per year. It would not require very intensive forestry of the kind that we are now getting on tree farms to produce 150 board feet per acre annually."

Reporting on the lumber demand outlook, W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager, said that prospects for at least the rest of the year appear to be excellent. The general level of business activity is certain to continue high and housing starts seem pointed for a total of around 1,100,000 or about the same as last year, he said. Industrial demand should be good for the rest of 1952, at least, he predicted.

Griffee reported that mill stocks on July 31 were up about 6 per cent over a year ago.

Action during the two-day meeting included a forestry recommendation that windthrown, insect-infested and other dead or dying federal timber be appraised at a price low enough to warrant added expense of logging and promotion decisions to exhibit at Carolina and Florida retail conventions, expand a current TV and theatre advertising movie service for dealers and work torvard publication of a Western Pine moulding book. It was also reported that a new 16 mm. color movie documenting the growth, production and use of Western Pines and Associated Woods will be completed by December of this year.

Next meeting of the association will be at its annur.l session in San Francisco next March.

Out of the Woods

Bv Jim Stevens

Noggin, Piggin and Treen

They are not names from a story for children but each is a particle of speech that was in general use when the American industrial economy was based mainly on wood.

"Treen" in its earliest use was a plural for "tree.', Later the word was applied to woodenware generally. ,'Noggin,,, a small wood mug, was a common item of the treen trade of 150 years ago. So was the "piggin," a baby bucket that had a stave sticking up to serve as a dipping handle.

The noggin and the piggin were prime tools in family life when Abraham Lincoln was a boy and water was commonly carried by hand to house from spring, creek or well. They were also prized as measures in the sale of whisky when it retailed a penny a snort and at 25 cents per gallon jug-rvith the consumer providing his orvn jug.

Whisky not only came cheap but American blood ran hot in those days. Duels were fought, and these very often, with noggins or piggins for weapons. The piggin preceded the bungstarter as an instrument for enforcing pease in the common saloon, history records.

Ffewers and Whittlers .

Whittling boys of Colonial times grew up into carpenters who were kings of labor all over the Colonies. Others became shipwrights. Sons of this breed came to Boston in due course, to build the Constitution of white oak from New Jersey and white pine from Maine. Around 2O years ago new masts were cut for the old flagship, then and now a floating museum, in a Columbia River sawmill. They were Douglas fir. l'he mainmast timber was 36r, x 3€, and, lI2 feet long. The main yard timber was a 9O-footer.

There were still men who had the knorv-how to work up and fit out such a job. At last report the Constitution remains a Navy sholvpiece. What is needed is a complete national museum to show ofi the sycamore wheels, millrvheel cogs of dogwood, butternut coach panels, cypress and cedar water pipe, harrow teeth, whip handles, wood grist mills, printing presses, looms, wood and brass clocks by Rittenhouse, Terry and Seth Thomas, early woodworking machines such as the Blanchard lathe, along with the multitude of American hand tools for hewing and whittling wood into usable shapes.

Century of Progress

What set me to brooding on these things is a copy of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association ,,News.,' f have it right here.

ft says in the NLMA News that the American Society of Civil Engineers is to celebrate its 100th birthday in Chicago during the days of September 3-13. part of it will be five sessions given to a century of progress in engineering with wood. One of the 2l lecture subjects on the program is "History of the Woodrvorking Industry," to be pres-

ented by Fred E. Wangaard, Professor of Forestry, yale University. I'm writing for a copy of the lecture. Then I'll tell you rnore about it.

It is my hope that Professor Wangaard will see fit to advocate the estatilishment of a national wood engineering and woodworking historical museum in Chicago, with branches in the principal lumbering regions of the country. With the big hope goes a little one-that the project will serve to collect and save surviving examples of earlv American noggins, piggins and other treen.

Loop Lumber Company Has Large Mill Capacity

The record of the Loop Lumber Company, Alameda, under the able management of Bill Chatham has been one of continual progress. In fact the company is credited with having one of the largest mill capacities for a retail yard on the coast with a daily cut of better than 100,000 feet per day. With this large volume of cut goes the distinction of being able to do one of the largest resaw jobs. The capacity is the sawing of a timber 34 by 34 inches, and a planer tlrat lrandles four sides up to 25 by 25 inches. The yard stock includes 2 million feet of Redwood at all times, 2 million feet of common Fir and 1 million feet of 12 by 12 timbers up to 20 by 2O inches rvith lengths up to 48 feet. It is not just a local business as shipments are made all over the rvest. School buildine and large projects have been keeping them busy.

Perhaps the great pride of Bill Chatham, however, is his ne',v sorting and grading machinery, many features of which he invented. While the bugs are not all eradicated Bill claims it saves labor, speeds and simplifies the operation of sorting and grading. As the timbers for resaw are fed into the sorting table, the ends are'automatically separated, then at the proper time an air controlled hammer pushes them on to the sorting table. This formerly required a hand operation. The sorting table is so designed that Redwood boards can run over the table at the same time. With this arrangement the plant is able. in addi tion to the handling of Fir, to cut 45,000 feet of Redwood a day u'hich comes from their Fort Ross Redu'ood mill.

Demand lor 2,000,000 New Homes a Year Bv 1970 Possible, NAHB Head Predicts

Chicago, Ill.-The 'Nation's leading mortgage lenders were asked today to help provide a flow of mortgage money to all sections of the country so housing production can continue its present level and reach an eventual 2,000,000 new homes annually by 1970.

Allan E. Brockbank of Salt Lake City, president of the National Association of Home Builders, made the appeal during a panel discussion at the Mortgage Bankers of America convention in Chicago.

Two million new houses a year-3S/o more than was built in 195G-will be needed to provide adequate housing in 1970, he predicted. The increased needs are based on the high birth rate of the past 72 years as these people form families and enter the home market.

Brockbank said the low birth rate during depression years, reflected in the current drop in new family formations, is providing the industry a "breather" spell, although the present market is still far from saturated in some price ranges.

During this interval, before the oncoming generation reaches the home buying stage, he believes builders can solve many smaller but equally important problems. When housing demands increase, they will be free to devote all energies toward achieving high production volume.

Low cost housing for older people and minority races is high on the list of present problems, but the NAHB head thinks the major one at hand is slum redevelopment. Remodeling of housing by private enterprise can produce low rental units at less cost than can be provided through public housing, he maintained.

The prominent Salt Lake City builder stated the NAHB's current "New Face for America" program was designed to accomplish this end. "I have been calling upon builders, materials manufacturers and financiers to realize the need for diverting cash into redevelopment and restoration of housing for low income groups bv methods other than public housing," he added.

Brockbank stated that the building industry would have from 1952 until 1960 or 1962 to take care of its lesser problems. Then, when the critical period of increased production arrives, all efforts can be directed toward home production for the increased family formations.

"ff we have done the job of putting the housing industry into good condition between now and then the planners will never succeed in socializing the industry."

The problem of financing nelv homes has grown more significant in recent months, Brockbank told the convention. He pointed out present difficulties in meeting the demands for housing for the aged and minority races. A reluctance of lenders to make mortgage loans to older folks has complicated solution of their home buying problem, and builders have found few funds available foi construction of low cost rent and sale housing for minority groups.

Brockbank noted a .trend toward larger houses, saying people who bought two bedroom houses after World War II now require three and four bedrooms. In fact, approximately 65 to 70% of all people calling for new housing

Additional citations were given Mr. Burns by the City Council, Board of Supervi'sors and Los Angeles Home Builders Institute.

Hammond Reports Thirty-One

Ton Redwood Burl

"Redwood Log:' the monthly magazine published by the Hammond Lumber Company at its mill at Samoa, California, reports the finding and harvesting of an enormous Redwood burl in their forest, one that weighed 31 tons. The burl extended about two-thirds around the stump of a big tree, and measured 14 feet high and 22 feet'across. It was cut into five large pieces rveighing about 5 tons each, and an additional six tons of smaller pieces.

The five large pieces were of prime face veneer quality and have been shipped to Italy to an Italian purchaser who has been buying Hammond Redwood burls for the last twenty years.

"Burls," says the article in the "Log," "are abnormal growths u'hich form on the trunk or limbs of a tree somewhat like warts on a human being. The fiber alignment is very irregular and produces striking figures rvhich are highly prized for veneer and novelty articles."
