How I-rumber [.rooks

Portland, Oregon, October 18-For the first time this year Douglas fir sawmills felt the pinch of a freight car shortage during the latter part of September.

Lack of cars accounted for a drop off of about 2500 cars of lumber shipped in September belowAugust totals, Harris E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, reported.

Smith said the shortage was felt mostly in Oregon and Northern California where mills reported receiving at times only half their requirements. Supply is better now in both regions, although only about 80/o of normal.

Despite this late season car shortage, Smith reports that mills in the Douglas fir region have shipped over 300 million more feet of lumber during the first 39 weeks,of 1951 than during the same period in 1950 when all records for the region were broken. Production too, is maintaining a 580 million foot lead over last year's record breaking output.

The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production in September was 2A8,761,000 b.f. or l16J% of the 19461950 average. Orders averaged n2,5A0,0W b.f.; shipments 200,993,000 b.f. \\reekly averages for August were: Production 221]81,An bi. (123.4% of the 1946-1950 average) ; orders 195,365,000 b.f.; shipments 208,212,000 b.f.

Thirty-nine weeks of 1951 cumulative production 8,465,686,000 b.f.; thirty-nine weeks of 1950, 7,878,654,W0 b.f.; thirty-nine weeks of 7949, 7,277,897,W0 b.f.

Orders for thirty-nine u'eeks of 1951 breakdor,r'n as fol-

lows: Rail and truck 5,466,861,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 1,534,052,nO b.f.; export 494,U0,000 b.f.; local 50a600,000 b.f.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 539,514,000 b.f. at the end of September, gross stocks at 919,258,000 b.f.

I-umber shipments of 4X) mills reporting to the National l-urnber Trade Barometer were 6.9 per cent below production for the week ended October 13, 1951. In the same week nen' orders of these mills were 2.6 per cent below production. Unfilled orders of the reporting mills amounted to 45 per cent of stocks. For the reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders were equivalent to 25 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks .were equivalent to 52 days' production.

lncreased Cost of Retail Lumbering

By Everett C. Parker President, Patten BlinnLumber Co., LosAngeles

'(At the recent Southern California retail lumber confer,ence held at San Diego, California, September 26, 27, and .28, Mr. Parker read a most informative paper on the in.creased cost of operating a retaii lumber business in South,ern Califo:nia. It being of consideradle length, THtr CALIFORNIA LUMBER I4ERCHANT published in its Octo.ber l5 issue that part of the paper devoted to the increased ,cost of taxation, which was of consuming interest. This is now follou'ed by other verbatim excerpts from Mr. Parker's .cost digest, lr'hich are of most practical interest to the retail .lumber t:ade. In the follorn'ing paragraphs he discusses the :increased cost of insurance, \,vages, and salaries.)

A main item of operating expense is insurance, including .fire, compensation and accident, and public liability. F'ire insurance has increased very materially over the past ten .years, partlv due to increase in rates, but largely due to increased valuations. With the same amount of footage on .hand in 1950 as in 1940 the valuation of your lumber for insurance purposes rvould be about two and one-half times .as large. The same r,vould be true of wallboards, hardware .and sash and door items and etc. If you would get an appraisal of your improvements by a reputable appraisal company you would find it two to three times as much as 194O. Since most of us carry 90,/o of r.alue clauses in our policies, 'our fire insurance premiums u'ould be double or more. In fact, our company paid in l95O for fire insurance about 2-l/3 times what rve paid in 1940. Compensation and accident 'insurance for your employees is another items u'hich costs over double 'rvhat it did ten )'ears ago on the same number of rnen. This is partlv caused bf increased wage level, and therefore increased compensation per rveek u-hen men are injured, but it is also due to a peculiar pholtia on the part ,of ivorkers ancl people generally, to take a good rest if the least opportunity presents itself and sonrebody pavs you a sizeable non-taxable sum per .ll'eek. The attitude of hearing boards is much more liberal and the cost of t:eatment much higher. Public liabilitv and property damage for our trucks and general liability cost rls three times what it did in 1940. This is due to higher costs of treating those injured and higher costs to repair damage to cars. Insurance statistics show that bodily injurv claims cost 51% more thar-r ten years ago; property damage I24/o more; hospital fees 774/o more, and verdicts for liability suits 80/o more than ten years ago. Our records shon' that rve paid for insurance ofall kinds in Southern Californai tn'o and one-half tinres rvhat u'e did in 1940.

Then there are all kinds of other expenses, charit:rble donations, advertising, general expense items of one form and another, repairs onyour trucks or your mill, telephones, stationery. You are all acquainted with these additional costs. Just a few examples may refresh your memory. Gasoline tank loads 1940-lIlc; 1950-20c a gallon. Truck tire and tube 90Ox20 12 ply 1940-$68.37; 1950-9104.89.

'fypelvriter-1910-$96.37 ; 1950-$i55.00. 10 column comptometer 1940-$,+06.25; 1950-$696.56. Ford coupe for collector 1940-$861.24 ; 1950-$1705.60. Ford truck stake body 1940-$996.51 ; 1950-$2217.96. Truck license 1940-919. 10 ; 1950-$37.70. Charge tickets have gone up from 48/o to 76/o, according to size, from 1940 to 1950.

Adding to our cost of goods although not to our operating expense are these interesting items-Portland freight on lumber including tax 1940-15.32c per 100#; 195075.33c per 100S. Freight from Northern California including tax on lumber per M 1940-$8.65; 195O-913.46.

But the most important item of operating expense is labor and salaries. Half or more of the operating expenses of the normal lumber yard, in m1' opinion, is outgoing labor and salaries. This would not include incoming labor, mill labor or truckdrivers.The amount paid to employees becomes, of course, a very important factor. Wages and salaries since the end of the l.ar u'hen the r.vage freeze was lifted have increased greatly. It u'as brought about partly due to employers increasing prices but largely because with Gorrernment sympathy and assistance, each union vied

"f do not associate myself with those who believe that World War III is imminent or inevitable, nor . do I associate myself with those who hysterically talk of American cities being laid waste. I believe that this nation has such potential strength, both spirit'al and material that no power or combination of powers would dare directly to attack it."

-General MacArthur. **rr

When, on the morning of October 17th, 1951, General Douglas MacArthur addressed fifteen thousand cheering veterans at the American Legion convention in Miami, Florida, he answered the prayers that millions of prayerful Americans have been uttering ever since he made his tremendous oration to Congress last April. That question is, what will MacArthur do? Will he supply this nation the inspiring and spiritual leadership it so sorely needs to lead us out of present day fog and confusion? In his Miami speech he gave the answer, in terms that not even the most obtuse politician can fail to understand. The rest of this piece will be made up entirely of verbatim excerpts from that address. Read them thoughtfully, and you will have no difficulty in discovering that old-time Americanism and honest government has a top champion who thinks as his opposition cannot think, and speaks as they cannot speak. The following paragrapn"*"t? selected from the speech:

"Recent events point to a startling and dangerous shift in our basic military concept. After Comrnunist China committed itself to war against our forces in Korea our political and military leaders set aside our traditional military policy calling for the employment of all available power and means to achieve a prompt and decisive victory and adopted instead the doctrine of defense.

"Every distinguished military leader of the past and all military experience from the beginning of time warns this but invites failure.

"Llnder this new conception, novel indeed to American military character, we are required in the midst of deadly war to soften our blows and send men into battle with

"The reason given for such a course has little validity. It has been argued in justification and seemingly to soothe the public concern that the application of conventional war measures against our enemy might provoke the Soviet into launching the third world war. Yet, since the end of the second world war, without committing a single soldier to battle, the Soviet, aided by our own political blunders, has gained a dominion over territory and peoples withorrt parallel in all history-a dominion which it lvill take years for it to assimilate and administer.

"What then would be its purpose in provoking a war of most doubtful result to the Comrnunist cause? I have strong doubt that the start of a major war anywhere enters the Soviet plans at this stage. If and when it does, it will be at a time and place and under circumstances dictated with scarce regard to the incidents of Korea."

**lr

"Could there be anything more discouraging and shocking to our soldiers on the line than the deprecating reference to their fierce and savage struggle as a "police action"? Could anything be more agonizing to the mothers of their dead than the belittling reference to it by the Joint Chiefs of Staff as the "Korean skirmish" ? What a lack of perspective ! What a failure to place first things first ! What a complete callousness to human feeling and soldier dignity ! Two great questions about Korea still remain unanswered. First, why did they start the war if they did not intend to win it? And second, what do they intend to do now?-go on piling up our dead indefinitely with no fixed purpose or end in sight? Hardened old soldier though I am-my verysoul revolts at this unnecessary slaughter of the flower of our youth." {<x.t

"The complexity brought about by dislocations in the wake of two world wars has caught our beloved country in the vortex of a confused, distressed and frightened world. It has been a time when the lack of a strong and positive and wise leadership-a leadership' capable of rising above the level of petty politics with moral courage, self-effacing

neither promise nor hope of victory. We have deprived conviction and resolute patriotism-has been most sorely them of supporting military power already on hand and. felt."

available which would blunt the enemy's blows against them, save countless American lives, fulfill our commitment to the tragic people of Korea and lead to the victorious end of a war which already has left so many thousands of American soldiers maimed or dead. More than this, it could and would have removed the Chinese Communists as a threat to freedom in Asia and the peace of the world for generations to come."

"I have faith that the wisdom and determination of the American people are not going to permit our country to continue down the road to national jeopardy. They will irtsist that American policy be reoriented to American tradition, American thinking and American needs-and will stop our headlong plunge toward Socialism and economic disaster. Americans will not be fooled by the bombast of vio-

lent propaganda andvulgar language which inevitably meets every honest criticism directed at the governmenf They were neither fooled nor their confidence impaired in the gallant Marines committed to battle in Korea when that fighting body of men of such illustrious tradition and fame was so grievously andr unjustly assailed. They will not be ensnared by a sly Pied Piper technique which says one thing but does another."

"We negotiate and ""*lrt"l. l'u ,r.*o.r.te, never seeming to learn that you cannot profitably negotiate with Communists any more than you can with any other type of malefactor in civilized society. The only persuasion that will move them is the resistance to their abusive pressure by adequate counterpressure."

*{<{<

"ft may indeed prove that the preparation for a war which may never occur will exhaust us materially as completely as would such a war itself. Our leaders must throw off the complacent belief that the only threat to our survival isfromwithout. All freedoms lost since war,s end have been the result of internal pressures rather than external assault."

"This country oU*,io,r"t| ,l"ol *n. resource military to defend the world. It has the resource, however, reasonably to assist in that defense. But such assistance rnust be con-

tributory to, rather than in place of maximum local national effort.

"It should be extended only upon condition:

"That assistance to others be really for defense and thatr it should be so limited as not to deplete our own resources to the point of imperiling the survival of our own liberties; and that those we would assist be animated by the same love of freedom as we, and possess the will and determination to pledge their own lives and full resources to secure their own defense."

'rrd.*

"ft must exercise its great influence to the end that: We rearm, as rearm we must, in an atmosphere of confidence in our inherent strength, not under the hysteria of an artificially created fear; that it is our implacable purpose to retain undisputed control of the seas, to secure undisputed control of the air, to vigorously implement our atomic program with a full commitment to the use as needed of the atomic weapon."

"The opposition I expressed to yielding Formosa and seating Red China, with the overwhelming support it received from the American people, unquestionably wrecked the secret plan to yield on these issues as the price for peace in Korea. There followed the violent Washington reaction in personal retaliation against me for what was actually so normal a military move."

Rcdwood is going to bc scarcer this wintcr and next spring. Wc know thc car shortage is over; we also know that most of yrou that carricd a fair-sized inventory of upper grade redwoods, whcn it was hard to get, now are letting that invcntory run down, in the mistaken bclief that redwood is going to be plentiful.

Ask yourself these questions.

How many srnall mills in the redwood country have gonc to cutting Fir?

How many mills, still cutting redwood, have an adequate Cold-deck of l,ogs to last over the rainy season?

\ll/e are prctty sure wc arcn't like the old lady on the sightsceing bus in Detroit, that wanted to show off a little. When thebarkcr pointcd out thc famous Ford residence, she asked in a shrill voice, "IIENRY?" "No, Mam," answcred thc barkcr, 'Edsel." And when he pointed out the Dodge residence, also of motor fame, shc again shrilly askcd, "FRANK?" To which the answer was, "No, Mam-Horace." Shortly afterwards the barkcr spoke up again, "And to your left, ladies and gentlemcn, is the farnous Christ Church." Not a word this timc from the old girl but a voice in the back of the b,us spokc up, "Go ahead and ask him, lady, YOU CAN'T BE WRONG ALL THE TIME."

It is our job to lrrow most of the answers rcgarding redwood, and wc are glad to answer any questions you might ask. In the meantime, do not forget, REDWOOD BOUGHT GREEN, INCREASES IN VALUE IN YOUR YARD.

*Oh, Ycs-The Girl in the picture above-she is of Nordic descent, and as nativc of California as the redwood we sell, but considerably younger.

with each other to see who could get the most, and this became a ring-around-the-rosy, prices going up to meet the rising costs and then more wage increases to keep up with the cost of living, and so on. The straight time weighted average in Los Angeles County for wage earners in lumber yards is now $1.771 an hour and the average earnings if actual payroll was figured would be 5c or 6c more on account of overtime. The industry does not have average figures over the years. Our company has taken its payrolls of November 1, 1939 and multiplied them by the rates in effect on November lst of each year from 1932 to November 1950. On November I, 1932 the average earnings per hour was 50c; November 1, 1940--82.3c; November 1, 1944$1.17; November 1, 1945-$1.248; and November 1, 1950 $1.746 per hour, and November 1, 1951 with 9c added will make it $1.836 (or a trifle more on account of overtime on the 9c). The average for Z0 years, 1932 to 1951 inclusive, was $1.053 per hour. We are now paying 74.470 more than a twenty year average. We are paying in 1951 in wages 2.23 times the 19,10 rate and a perusal of your salary rolls will show, I think, that they are in about the same proportion. Putting it another way, your payments for employees have increased in 195L,123% over 1940, and incidentally, the cost of living in July 1951 was 83.4% more than July 194O according to the U.S. Department of Labor for the Los Angeles area. As you know we have just concluded labor negotiations in Los Angeles for the year ending June 3Q 1952. In the light of the facts just presented you are justified in asking why we did what we did. For weeks prior to our meetings day by day radio reports and newspaper articles told' of the Wage Stabilization Board ruling that l0/o over January 15, 1950 could be given without approval. On this score we were almost licked before we started. We .also gave two weeks vacation after three years instead of after five years because area practice in this regard is rvell established. We also gave $4.00 per month per employee for health and welfare benefits, which is just starting something we can't finish. To go into all details of the negotiations is out of place here.

Ernie Moss

It is my opinion that if practically any one of you had all the facts we had, and knew the currents and cross currents we knew, you would have done what we did. The payroll figures I have given you are only earnings per hour on a payroll and do not include all labor expenses per hour. The average straight time rate in Los Angeles as of now is $1J745 per hour, arrived at by audit. The industry is inclined to use this figure in costing problems. I have worked out additional costs to the straight time rate-six paid holidays cost 4.1c per hour, an average of. ll weeks vacation is 5.1c, an average of about 5/o overtime or two hours per week per employee is 4.2c. Then you pay for State and Federal Unemployment 4.3c, for Social Security 2.6c and for Compensation and Accident about 3.4c. This makes atotal of. 23.7c additional per hour or about 13.35/o that an employee costs you over the straight time rate, and if the health and welfare of $4.0O per month is approved this will cost 2.3c an hour more.

Lawrence-Philips Moves to Beverly Hills

The latest Los Angeles lumber gang to forsake the congested areas of the big city and move farther out, is the Lawrence-Philips Lumber Company.

Don Philips just called his group of cohorts around him, putout the fire, called the dog, and went West, just as ]Iorace Greeley suggested long ago that wise men should do.

They got as far as 4N North Camden Drive in Beverll' Hills and there, in as sweet a set of modern offrces as could be located in a day's hard search, they may be found. The room number is 205, but that's just the entrance number. 'They have five of the best looking, best lighted, best fur:nished, best arranged ofifice rooms you ever saw.

The suite is completely air conditioned, the walls and .ceilings are insulated for sound, the lightingisthe nerv, soft, inverted type that furnishes lots of lightbutis easy 'on the eyes. They are just a block and a half from Wilshire Boulevard, two blocks from Santa Monica Boulevard. and thus located in the very heart of the business center of Beverly Hills, in a district noted for its beauty and style of architecture. The offices are separated by partitions of bright wood panels and glass.

Here the Philips trio are just a few minutes from their homes, yet at a place easily reached from all directions Many of the most famous hotels, stores, shops, and eating -places in all California are withinafew blocks of ,them.

Sure is a swell set-up, and an interesting change from the rush, and bluster, and smog of the city.

Here are a group of pictures giving some idea ol the interior of the nerv suite. The follorving is the LawrencePhilips gang: Don Philips, Sr., Don Philips, Jr., Tom Philips, the younger son, Bob Tattbe, salesman, Roger P. Williams. auditor. Miss Nelle Holland and Miss Adeline Thole, secretaries and office assistants. Don Philips, Sr., holds rlolvn the fort, while the three younger men go out and hustle for lumber orders.

Frequently pictures of the mills rvith which they do business have appeared in the publicity of this company. Not this time. Just the folks and the handsome new offices get into this story. In a corner of the main office, that of Don Philips, Sr., will be seen a framed picture of the late Ted Larvrence, who was his original partner in the organizing of this business.

It is wasting words and space to say that the elder Philips is proud and happy in his nerv surroundings. He struts a wee bit as he shows the set-up to his many friends. The brush of the old fox is tinged r,vith grey, but his eye is as bright, and his smile as friendly as it was in the days a generation back when he and another delightful young man, Ted Lawrence, started in business together. The business, is a fine success, and it got there by the merit route; which, say the philosophers, is the best route to travel.

Construction Activity in September

Construction activity declined slightly in September when outlays for most types of private building and pnblic works were curtailed by restrictions and materials shortages, the Building Materials Division, U. S. Dep:rtmentof Commerce and the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported jointly today. Factory buildirrg, military construction and public housing continued to expand.

The total value of new construction put in place cluring September amounted to over $2.8 billion, one per cent less than the totals for August 1951 and for September 1950. Total private outlays of $1,860 million were off 2 per cent from the August level and l1 per cent from a year ago. Total public expenditures, amounting to $965 million for nerv construction in September, rvere 2 per cent larger than in August and 28 per cent above public outlays in September 1950 before military and defense plant expansion had gotten under way.

.Private home buildine activity appears to have been stabilized for the time being at about two-thirds of the 1950 record level. Commercial building dropped in September when work consisted largely of completing projects started before current restrictions were applied, and new projects requiring only small amounts of steel and copper. Highrvay construction and other public works declined.

During the first 9 months of 1951, total outlays for new construction have exceeded $22 billion, over $2 billion (10 per cent) more than during the same period last year. Irrdustrial expansion and the rising volume of military construction, together with larger amounts of commercial and institutional building so far this year have maintained over-all construction activity at record levels in spite of the drop in private homebuilding.

He then rvent with Tahoe Sugar Pine Company, manufacturer of Ponderosa and Sugar pine, with offices in San Francisco, and left this company rvhen it rvas liquidated in 1939. Shortly after he became associated rvith Tarter, Webster & Johnson, Inc., nationally known firm, and he is there today as assistant sales manager.

Being a Brooklyn boy he is naturally a Dodger rooter, and attends some of their games if at all possible when in the east.

Mr. Stibich was married in San Francisco in 1923 to Miss Emily G. O'Dwyer, who strangely was a yeomanette in the Navy. They have a son, Donald, who is now 20, and is in his senior year at Stanford University. They iive in San Francisco.

Chauncey C. Stibich, familiarly known by the nickname of"Sti" to a host of lumbermen friends and acquaintances, is assistant sales manager of Tarter, Webster & Johnson, Inc., San Francisco. He confines his efforts largely to sales in the middle west and east, and in the course of this work has made many business trips to the Atlantic Coast, with the result that he has a large acquaintance with lurrrber'men throughout the country.

He was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., graduated from Erasrnus Hall High School in that city, and gained experience in New York at various jobs, including sales work. lle came u'est in 1917, shortly before the United States got into World War L He joined the Navy and trained at r'vhat was then called Goat Island. As a yeon-ran he u'ent to sea in a San Francisco built destrover. He left the service in the fall of 1919.

His entryintothe lumber business lr'as in 1920 with Frederic S. Palmer, San Francisco wholesaler, handling the eastern sales of the Madera Sugar Pine Company of Madera, Calif. In 1926 Fred Palmer n'ent to lll Salto, Durango, Mexico, to take the management of Cia Maderera De Durango. Sti follorved as his assistant, and handled the sales. However, he resigned that position after a year, as the bandits across the border became too active, and 'California beckoned him home. Back in California he

Sti has served many years on the promotion conmittee of the Western Pine Association, several years as chairman. He is a member of the Masonic Order, the Olympic Club of San Francisco, International Hoo-Hoo, and the San Francisco and Oakland Hoo-Hoo Clubs. He is also proud of his membership in that famous Mother Lode organization of the 49'ers, E. Clampus Vitus, Auburn Chapter.

One of his accomplishments that many of his friends in the San Francisco Bay district will recall is his piano playing at \rarious functions, including Hoo-Hoo Concatenations. His favorite relaxation from his busy life selling the California pines is to get up into the High Sierra to fish for trout in that rcgion's beautiful lakes and streams.

This brief sketch merely touches the high spots of Sti's career of more than 30 years of service to the lumber industry, and his constructive work in cooperation with the Western Pine Association. He is recognized as one of the rnost alert and useful executives in the business.

\(/estern Pine Industry

Subcommittee

Washington, D.C., October l0-Detailed recommendations on the levels of dollars and cents ceiling prices which the Office of Price Stabilization plans to puton western pine lumber were made today by members of the subcommittee of the Western Pine Industry Advisory Committee at their second meeting with OPS officials.

Committeemen examined figures compiled by OPS economists, based on price lists established under the General Ceiling Price Regulation, GCPR.

It was proposed that ceilings be established at levels that would cover the prices obtained on the bulk of production of each kind and grade of lumber.

\,4/hether to fix ceiling's on the basis of net return to the manufacturer or at a level that would cover the wholesaler's commission was discussed.

Committeemen pointed out that the price lists obtained by OPS were mixed, some representing net prices and others prices subject to discounts to wholesalers, depending on the individual practice of the manufacturer.

In discussing the proposed prices, committeemen assumed that the higher prices reported for each kind and grade would tend to represent the prices subject to rvholesaler's discounts.

The proposed regulation would cover manufacturers and possibly wholesalers in the 11 lvesternmost states.

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

Other OPS officials rvgre: Quincy Adams, division economist, and Carlton F. Diskin, division counsel, Forest Products Division; Johs R. Riggleman, economist; Stanley R. Strauss, counsel ; T. J. Dupont, business analyst; Albe:t K. Henderson and R. J. Sampson, Seattle regional office; S. N. Merendino, Office of Enforcement; J. J. Wenstrup, Office of Accounting, and \\ralter R.

New Sawlog Barker Installed

Employees at the Mills

Men who work in the mills of the Long-Bell Lumber Company stay a long, long time. At least, large numbers of them do.

This fact was proved recently when the company gave a big and sumptuous banquet in the Hotel Monticello, in the beautiful city of Longview, Washington, honoring some of their long-term employees. They made speeches to them, praised them, bragged about them, and pinned medals on them.

And of those employees at the Longview plant who received these signal honors there were two men who had been continuously in the employ of the company for 45 years; one 40 years; three 3O years; 27 for 25 years; and.20 for 15 years. Some record ! Let's name those three oldest employees. John Kemper, a sawyer, 45 years. J. B. Buckner, sliipping clerk, 45 years. Tom J. Eels, superintendent of manufacture, 40 years. Pretty good, eh?

North Bend, Oregon, Oct. 12 (Special)-Bark-free sawlogs are now being fed to Weyerhaeusers two whining headrigs in the company's new sawmill at North Bend, according to Arthur O. Karlen, manager. A two-nozzle hydraulic barker, operating at 1400 pounds pressure per square inch, strips the logs before they roll on the mill's Iog haul.

The unit is thefourth hydraulic sawlog barker to be installed by Weyerhaeuser since it completed its first company-engineered unit at Longview, Washington, in 1948. Jets of high-pressure water are now flaying off sawlog bark in company mills at Longview and Snoqualmie Falls, Washington, and Springfield and North Bend, Oregon. Additional units are planned for completion in 1952.

Hydraulic sawlog barkers are a new innovation in the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washing'ton, with the Weyerhaeuser units being the only major ones in operation at the present time. Prime purpose of such barkers, according to Karlen, is to provide clean wood for conversion into Kraft pulp chips, for which there will be a growing demand as the forest industry increases its utilization. Lumber production is also aided because the sawyer

Down at Weed, California, where the I-ong-Bell Lumber Company has another big plant, they have some real veterans, also. And, while some of the older men at Longview got their start years ago in the Long-Bell mills in the South, there are men at Weed that have been right there for a couple of generations. The current "Log of Long-Bell," a company magazine, shows pictures of three men whose combined terms of service, right there at the Weed box factory, is 114 years. Chester Barnum has worked in that one plant continuously for 46 years. John Otto has been there for 42 years. And John Catalano has been there for 26 years. It must be fun working at Weed.

The North Bend barker is a basic Bellingham type, with an overhead moving carriage bearing two oscillating nozzles, through which the water is driven as the jets travel lengthwise down the 1og.

Cooperation Among Foresters Key to Vast Aerial Spray Project

"The forests have an enemy * * * more menacing than fire-the spruce budworm t< * *." Thus did the SEATTLE TIMES editorially summarize on June 24th the mighty battle waged here in the Northwest forests against a pestiferous little insect which threatens to destroy the vast Douglas fir forests unless checked.

"There is hope that the budworm epidemic can be brought under control in one more season," the same editorial hopefully points out.

The story of the organization,the fund raising and the actual spraying of more than 2,000,000 acres of our forests in the last three years, and the contemplated treating with aerially applied DDT of another million acres in 1952 is a story of cooperation.

A Spruce Budworm Action Cornmittee, formed in 1949, and including foresters frorn private, state and federal agencies is the backbone of the great fight to save our forests frorn ruin. From this committee of hard-bitten men of action carle the drive and irrpetus needed to pry funds loose from a strangely tight-fisted lJncle Sam, to get large sums equallv from private owners and the states of Oregon and \vashingtor.r. These men also got DDT when red tape threatenecl to engulf the project.

This is evidence of the efficacy of on-the-job handling of the forests, one long-time forester states. These men, these foresters, whether employed by private industry, the states or the federal government, were here on the job. They l<nerv the seriousness of this threat. They cut the interminable recl tape of the Washington bureau method of procedure in u,hat nray stand for many years as a monutnent to indir,,idual initiative.

The expansion program will increase the company's production of regular and specialty cements by 50 per cent beginning in the spring of.1952.

(From the Los Angeles Times)

One-score and 16 years ago our fathers brought forth upon this nation a new tax, conceived in desperation and dedicated to the proposition that all men are fair game.

Now we are engaged in a great mass of calculations, testing whether that taxpayer or any taxpayer so confused and so impoverished can long endure. \Me are met on Form 1040.'

We have come to dedicate a large portion of our income to a final resting place with those men who here spent their lives that they may spend our money.

It is altogether anguish and torture that we should do this. But in the legal sense we cannot evade-we cannot cheat-we cannot underestimate. This collector, clever and shy, who computed here, has gone far beyond our power to add and subtract.

Our creditors will little note nor long remember what we pay here, but the Bureau of Internal Revenue can never forget what we report here. It is for us taxpayers rather to be devoted here to the tax return which the government has thus far so nobly spent.

It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these vanished dollars we take increased devotion to'the few remaining; that we here highly resolve thatthe next year will not find us in a higher income bracket.

That this taxpayer, underpaid, shall figure out more deductions, and that taxation OF the people, BY the Congress, and FOR the government, shall not cause our solvency to perish.

\(hiting-Mead Company Changes Hands--San Diego Company Not Affected By Deal

Announcement rvas made on October 9 of the sale of the controlling capital stock of the Whiting-Mead Company, of Los Angeles, large owner and operator of retail building material yards in Los Angeles and vicinity. In liquidating the estate of the late Willis H. Mead, Superior Court Judge Victor R. Hanson approved the sale of the late Mr. Mead's stock in the corporation to John M. Stahl, and Samuel C. Rtrdolph, of Los Angeles, for a price ol $1,W2,226. This covered 4718 shares of the corporation stock, abott 9S/o of. the total. The new owners announced that theirs is a joint operation, and that they intend to operate. the business rvl-rile carrl:ing out a large improvement and real estate program. X{r. Mead died September 12,1950 at the age of 76. He r.vas one of the men rvho founded the concern in 1898.

A letter to THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT from H. L. Miner, of San Diego, states that the change in ownership of the Los Angeles corporation does not affect in any way the Whiting-Nlead Company, of San Diego. In January, 1944, the management of the San Diego Corporation purchased all the assets of the company South of the San Diego-Orange County line, including the right to use the Whiting-Mead Company name in the Southern area affected. "We urgentlv request that you make clear that ours is a distinct and separate operation," writes N{r. Miner, .ivho is President of the \\rhiting-Mead Company of San Diego Builders Market, the name under u'hich they operate in San Diego territory.

From a "Fact Sheet" supplied by Mr. Miner, the following interesting history of the San Diego operations is taken:

In July, 1912, Willis H. Nfead, of Los Angeles, organized the \Vhiting-Mead Commercial Co. of San Diego. Mr. Mead and five San Diego lumber companies jointly sponsored the new venture, with Mead's Whiting-Mead Co. of Los Angles owning half of the San Diego firrn, the other half being held jointly by the group of lumber companics.

In 1916, H. L. Miner, who had been a salesman for Whiting-Mead Co. in Los Angeles, was Sent to San Diego to manage the Whiting-N{ead Commercial Co. At that time, the parent company in Los Angeles had decided to liquidate the San Diego branch and Mr. Miner u,as assigned the task of organizing the liquidation.

Within a year, part of the liquidation had been accoinplished, with the San Diego lumber interests taking over the lumber stock. The Whiting-NIead Co. of Los Angeles acquired sole interest in the store building at First and G Streets, together with merchandise, accounts receivable, and a ferv pieces of real estate.

By the end of 1917, hou'ever, on Nfiner's urging, it r,vas decided to keep the San Diego organization in operation, and Manager H. L. Miner purchased a 25/o interest in the San Diego firm. In a fetv years it became obvious that the decision to keep the San Diego branch going n'as rvise, for the new Company had begun to grow aud prosper under Miner's management,

With the upswing of business for the firm, expansion was necessary, and in 7921, a branch rvas established in East San Diego, and in 7924 a store was built at El Centro. In 7927, a branch rvas added in Oceanside, and in I94I, another was established in El Cajon. Company headquarters and the main store are located at l4th and K Streets in downtown San Diego.

In 1925 it became necessary to increase capital stock of the Whiting-Mead Co. of San Diego to one million dollars and, at this time, some of the older employees purchased stock in the concern. It also rvas in 1925 that the word "Cominercial" was dropped from the firm name of the San Diego organization.

In 1944, a co-partnership consisting of H. L. Miner, his two sons, Glen M. Miner and F. Everett Miner, and other longtin-re employees and stockholders, purchased all the assets of the San Diego firmfrom the parent company, making the Whiting-Mead Co. of San Diego I0O/o locallyowned. As a result of the purchase from the Los Angeles organization, the San Diego firm acquired a trading area rvhich included all of Imperial County and everything south of the San Diego-Orange County line.

Soon after the separation of the San Diego firm from its parent company, additional expansion took place in San Diego County, with the establishment of branch stores in National City (1945) and Et Cerrito (t942).

Latest change in the organization of the firm was its incorporation, which took place in 1949. It was at this time that the corporate name \\'as changed to "Miner & Co., Builders' Market," although business continued to be conducted as "Whiting-Mead Co. of San Diego."

The term, "Builders' Market," now is being featured prominently in the firm's business forms, advertising, etc., and is fast replacing the old "Whiting-Mead" title.

The officers of the corporation are : H. L. Miner, president; Glen M. Miner, vice president and general manager; Paul E. Stake, vice president and merchandise manager; Gerald C. Thomas, secretar)'; F. E. Miner, assistant secretary and sales manager.

Tokyo Timber Exporter Visits Los Angeles

Wm. Herman, of Tokyo, Japan, was a recent business visitor in Los Angeles, and rvas the guest of Frank Connolly, president of the Western Hardwood Lumber Company. Mr. Herman is president of Pacific Stores, Inc., of Tokyo, large wholesalers. He is likewise engaged in a large way in the importation of logs from the Philippine Islands to Japan. He is associated in this enterprise with Henry Shoemaker, and the Soriano industrialists. Mr. Shoemaker is vice president of the well known firm of Barclay & Company, of Seattle, but makes his home in Tokyo. Messrs. Herman and Shoemaker are partners in the philippines to Japan log importation business.

Teco Laboratory Conducts Special Course in Marine Laminating

Fourteen students-three naval officers and eleven civilian shipbuilding inspectors-have just completed a course in gluing techniques at the Timber Engineering Company Research Laboratory in Washington, D. C. The U. S. Navy's Bureau of Ships selected TECO from several research organizations to concluct the class in its well-known wood research laboratory which'is sponsored by the lumber industry. Men responsible for the inspection of wooden ships in the region east of the Mississippi took the five-day course-the first in marine laminating ever held by private industry for naval inspectors.

A large defense shipbuilding program is now getting under way with new designs and models. So that they might be better acquainted with the quality of glue pro€esses in defense production, the students were taught by TECO's skilled personnel the major points to check in the inspection of glue laminated ship timbers involving waterproof adhesives.

The men were first made familiar with basic wood technology, learning what makes glue and wood unite and how to identify shipbuilding timbers. They received a complete set of military specifications pertaining to gluing, as well as literature on the properties of laminated woods compared with solid timbers, and the different degrees of bending which can be sustained by timbers of varying :thicknesses, After receiving necessary technical and theo-

retical background material, the students then applied by actual practice the knowledge they had gained.

For example, they prepared shear blocks by gluing pieces of wood together and subjected them to a machine for testing the adhesive quality and wood failure. Observing the pieces which were pushed apart at the glue line under great pressure, the students compiled data and drew their conclusions from the results noted.

Another major project undertaken by the class was the gluing of test blocks to show notonly results of proper techniques but also to demonstrate what happens when glue is over-age, mixed improperly, incorrectly applied, and other causes of complications in marine laminating.

High point of the course came on September 20, when a group of Navy personnel lunched with the students at the lab and afterwards witnessed demonstrations of highfrequen'cy gluing, sponsored byThe Girdler Corpoiation of Louisville, Kentucky. The heavy equipment was shipped ahead from Louisville and W.H. $ickok, Director of Application Engineering for the Corporation, was on hand to discuss the principles of the process and to demonstrate the technique.

The Navy plans to schedule a similar course for inspectors in yards west of the Mississippi at a future date but has not as yet specified a school for that area.

Denver, Colorado, was selected as the convention city for 1952 and Minneapolis received a nod for 1953. The exact dates of these coriventions u'ill be determined later.

Hoo-Hoo Progress Reported

The reports of the National Officers on the splendid progress of Hoo-Hoo sparked the enthusiasm of the convention. The secretary reported an all-time high of 10,216 activt: members with 95 active Hoo-Hoo Clubs carrying on in every part of the country. The report of the treasurer indicated a sound financial condition and the intelligent conservative administration of the affairs of the order.

The reports of delegates on the activities of the clubs represented, indicated Hoo-Hoo progress in every part of the country. The Educational and Social programs of the clubs sho.ived that the fundamentals of the order, namely, the promotion of good fellowship and the championing of all rvorthy causes, both in the industry and in the community, rl'ere constructively effective.

The report that Hoo-Hoo was being reactivated in Canada

as evidenced ,n Vancouver. B. C.. r'here a new clrtb r,vas re,cently organized and already shows tremendous growth was received with applause. The delegates from Canada assured the members that progress will continue.

Education and Wood Promotion

Cooperation with all Industry Educational Programs, and the Promotion of Forest Products were major activities on the Hoo-Hoo agenda throughout the year, both on the national and local level. The reports of the standing committees covering these two projects received the serious consideration of the convention.

The chairrnan of the Hoo-Hoo Educational Committee, W. C. Bell, -{5306, managing director of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, reported on the work of the industry in sponsoring and promoting educational programs.

The report of Russell M. Eagle, 35506, chairman of the Wood Promotion Committee, past president of the Texas Lumber Manufacturers Association, stressed the importance of telling the story of wood, pointing out that wood has withstood the test of time. He said: "If each of us in this room would take only one hour a week during the next year-set aside that one hour totell the story of woodat the end of the year that story would be known throughout the land. Let me exhort you, therefore, to speak up for wood, to revie'r,'l'' its story and then tell others horn'wood has withstood the test of time."

In the absence of the two men, these reports on Education and Promotion were read by Gene Ebersole, 46193, executive manager of the Texas Lumbermens Association of Texas, and Charles Greef, 48435, president of the Amarillo Hoo-Hoo Club No. 8, respectively.

A Pessirnist Talks oI Women

'Women are what men marry. They have two legs, two hands, and sometimes two husbands, but never more than one idea.

Like Turkish cigarettes, women are all made of the same material. The only difference is that some are a little better disguised than others.

Generally speaking, women may be divided into three classes: Wives, widows, and old maids. An old maid is a rnass of obstinacy, surrounded by suspicion. Wives are divided into three classes: prizes, surprises, and consolation prizes.

Making a wifeout of a woman is one of the highest plastic arts known to civilization. It requires science, sculpture, common sense, faith, hope, and charity, especially charity.

It is a psychological marvel that a big, strong, honest-togosh man will marry alittle, weak, wishy-washy mouselike woman, and seem to be happy.

If you flatter a woman, it makes her unbearable. If you don't, you bore her to death. If you permit her to make love to you she gets tired of you in the end, and if you don't she gets tired of you in the beginning.

If you believe her in everything, you soon cease to interest her. If you argue with her in everything, you soon cease to charm her. If you believe all she tells you she thinks you are a fool, and if you don't she thinks you are a cynic.

If you wear gay colors and spats and a startling tie, she won't go out with you; but if you wear a conservative grey suit and a gentle hat, she goes out with you and stares all evening at some man in gay colors, and spats, and a startling tie.

If you join her in all her parties and approve of her smoking and drinking she swears you are driving her to the devil. If you don't approve of her smoking and drinking and urge her to give up her gay parties, she vows that you are driving her to the devil. The same either way.

If you are the henpecked type, she doubts whether you have brains. But if you are a modern, advanced, and independent man, she doubts if you have a heart.

If you are silln she longs for a bright mate; and if you are brilliant and intellectual she longs fo4 a playboy.

If you are popular with other women she is jealous; and if you are not, she hesitates to marry a wallflower.

Darn all women, anyhow!

Weeping crnd Lcughter

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

A DiplomcrticReply

A man had promised his wife a riding horse for her birthday, and he was looking over a number of handsome horses that were being offered for sale at a riding academy. One horse he liked the looks of very much, but he noticed that the owner handled the animal with excessive caution. So he said to him:

"Do you think this would be a suitable horse for a woman?"

And the owner, who was a fairly honest man, said: ,'Well, I think a woman could handle this horse, all right; but I'll say this-I wouldn't like to be married to the woman that could."

To Gcrgc

Your splendid bodS like a straight, tall reed, With lithe, long limbs that taper from the thighs, The sea-flame slumbering in your half-veiled eyes, Your fowing hair, from cincture free, Like undulant willows drooping o'er a streamAwake in me an all-consuming fire, Like beauty glimmering through a youth's young dream, You come to rouse in me all man's desire.

But yet I will not kiss your hand, Nor cool my lips beneath your shadowed hair, Though all grace finds in you an avatar; Upon a brambled mountainside I stand, Yearning o'er intervening darkness, where A figure beckons, aureoled with a star.

-Paul Cliff Kitchen

TheRecson

The youngster held out his nickel, and said to the candy man, "I want an all day sucker."

The man handed him one, and the kid looked at it as though not entirely pleased with what he saw.

"Not as big as they used to be," he suggested.

"Nope," said the man, "the days are getting shorter."

Whcrt Educction Mecns

Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know.

ft means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.

It is not teaching the youth the shapes of letters and the tricks of numbers, and then leaving them to turn their arithmetic into roguery, and their literature into lust.

It means, on the contrary, training them into the perfect exercise and kingly continence of their bodies and souls.

It is a painful, continual, and difficult work to be done by kindness, by watching, by warning, by precept, and by praise, but above all-by example.-John Ruskin.
