How Lrumber Irooks

Portland, Oregon, October 16-Shipments of Douglas fir lumber topped production by ten million feet a week during September, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary, West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Smith said sau,mills in the Douglas fir region through the first forty rveeks of 1952 were within 118,700,000 feet of the 1951 production figures for the same period; shipments in 1952 exceed production rvhile orders were 79,800,000 feet below production. Through September these mills had produced 7,8O5,359,000 board feet; shipped 7,817,24I,NO board feet; and orders totaled 7,725,543,UJ0 feet.

Rail shipments as well as cargo to California and Atlantic Coast rvere above 1951, the lumber leader pointed out. Heavy lumber loading in Western Oregon and Northern California helped contribute to a car shortage during September, Smith observed.

The rveekly averag'e of West Coast Lumber production in September rvas 222,185,Ufi b.f. or 118.7% of the 19471951 average. Orders averaged 207,549,000 b.f.; shipments 232,204,000 b.f. Weekly averages for August were : Production 223,184,00O b.f. (119.2% of the 1947-1951 average) ; orders n5,947,000 b.f.; shipments 722,474.000 b.f.

at the end of September, gross stocks at 947,846,000 b.f. Lumber shipments of 474 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 1.4 per cent below production for the week ended October ll, 1952. In the same week new order's of these mills were 0.1 per cent below production. Unfilled orders of the repo:ting mills amounted to 38 per cent of stocks. For the reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders were equivalent to 20 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks were equivalent to 5l days' production.

For the year-to-date, shipments of reporting identical mills rvere 4.8 per cent above production ; orders were 3.2 per cent above production.

"When the season of warm weather begins, trees put on clothes. When the summer heat sets in, they put on the thickest clothes obtainable. When the season becomes cooler, they begin to remove their clothes. And when winter arrives they take*off* all their clothes.',

The above quotation, marked "Anonymous,,'can be found in the little book, "Verses I Like," compiled by the late Major Bowes. The statements are true with regard to lots of trees, but not to

a vast percentage.

They apply to all the trees that the commercial lumber industry knows as hardwoods, and to the great majority of shade trees, but not at all to the vast forests of evergreens whose leaves are in the form of needles. When the layman speaks of the leaves of trees, he has in mind those more or less flat, shapely, and sizable leaves of the deciduous species, which are green in summer, take on other colors when frost comes, and then fatl ofi to be born again when spring comes. ***

He has no thought of the Pines, the Firs, the Cedars, the Hemlocks, the Redwoods, and all the other coniferous types of trees that are evergreen. On these trees the leaf is merely a needle, yet it plays the same part in the life of the tree that the broader leaf does with the hardwood types. And while these needles do fall off, they are constantly replaced by younger growths of needles, and the tree remains always green. Only on a dead tree do the l'eaves lose color and fall off, leaving the branches bare. ***'

So the anonymous poet went too far when he declared that "when winter arrives they (the trees) take off all their clothes." In the good name of the beautiful forests of evergreens, this slander must be denied. The stately Firs, clinging to the mountain slopes of the Western states; the towering Pines that lift their crests toward the skies in so many regions of this country; the mighty Redwoods which live through generations and centuries with never a lessening of their deep coloring; and all their kinfolks of the evergreen tree world, declare in their modesty that it just isn't true. So long as they live, they are always well and colorfully clothed with leaves. *

ft makes no difference what the season is, or what the thermometer has to say. The evergreens never shed their raiment, or change the charm of their coloring. No professional forester is the writer of this piece, so no details will be attempted. It is true that the ground under a forest

of Pines is sometimes well matted with dry and brown needles. Maturity had come to them, and they had fallen in the season when nature called; but already younger leaves had grown into their place, and the ever-greenness of the mother tree is unimpaired. Modest is the name for evergreen. ***

Please understand also that this is no slander against the many useful and beautiful types of trees that do as the poet says; wearing their heaviest clothes in summer, and none at all in the cold winds of winter. Trees do as mother nature decrees, in this as in all other things. And no doubt the Oaks, the Maples, the Gums, and all the other innumerable species of trees which grow their leaves in the spring and shed them again in the fall, are just as modest and respectable in their way as the evergreens. No doubt about it at all. *

Speaking of trees-and we shall continue to do so throughout this piece-if you would welbome a quick, thorough, and interesting education on the subject of forestry, reforestation,commercial tree growing, etc.,you should sit for an hour with that greatest of all living foresters, Col. W. B. Greeley, and just listen while he talks. He will give you a run-down that covers the whble field of forestry, having all the interesting facts at his fingertips, and likewise the ability to discuss them colorfully and impressively.

He walked in the otfr"r.a"lr, J", ao*n, and started talking about trees, and forests, and the new philosophies of the lumber industry, and when he had finished we deeply regretted as we had done so often before, our lack of ability to write shorthand. What a wealth of interesting facts we could have gathered. Some of his highlights naturally clung to our memor'' * * ,<

For instance, he told of talking to a sawmill man who is about to build a big new mill. He said to the man-"How much will your mill cut?" and the man simply replied"That depends on how much timber our land will grow." "That," said Greeley, "is the new philosophy of the lumber industry, a philosophy never dreamed of just a few short years ago."

He talked of the competition that exists between the makers of pulp in the Southern parts of the United States, and those of Canada. "The South has one supreme advantage over their Canadian competitors," said the Colonel. "fn Canada where the winters are severe and the growing season short, they can only harvest an average of one-sixth

l of a cord of pulpwood a year per acre; while in the South a cord a year an acre is not considered high, and production may go as high as two cords per acre per year. That is an enormous advantage."

>k**

He spoke of the rapid growth of commercial forestry in this country as evidenced by the demand for and employment of graduate foresters. He says that there are now thirty-four institutions of learning in the United States that teach forestry, that these schools are turning out about 750 foresters annually, and that there is a constant demand for all of them. The demand, he said will increase steadily as forestry becomes ever more important, and the supply of foresters will be increased to meet the need. There are more than 13,000 professional foresters in this country today.

***

It was a comparatively few years back when there were very few educated foresters in this country outside of the state and federal governments. Today there are foresters wherever there are forests, professional experts in the art of growing commercial trees. :8*{<

He spoke with enthusiasm of that remarkable new source of wood conservation, the chipping machine, which takes edgings, trimmings, and other clean waste from the sawmill and chips it up into valuable pulpwood material. He says that in the Douglas Fir area alone there are already more than two hundred of these machines. To go to the

chipper wood must be without bark, since bark is undesirable in paper making, so the removal of bark from the logs has become a major sawmill industry in itself. According to Col. Greeley these chippers are already transforming into fine pulp material enormous quantities of mill waste that would otherwise be going to the burner, thus making what has always been mill waste into valuable assets. He says that a number of commercial chipping machines are already in operation in di,fferent parts of the country, where clean waste wood may be brought in, and taken away in the form of pulp chips. More chipping machines will be seen throughout the mill industry, says the Colonel.

***

And before he had finished talking, Col. Greeley had told again a true story on himself that he has made famous by re-telling on frequent occasions. When he was a youngster, working in a national forest, he got into the habit of claiming that forest for his own, thoughtlessly of course. He got in the habit of referring to the forest as "my forest." He did that one day while talking to an oldster, and final\r the man said to Greeley: ***

"When you speak of your forest, you remind me of a Bible story. It seems that the Devil took the Master to the top of a high mountain, showed Him the world, and promised to give it to Him if He would bow down and adore him. And you know," said the older man, "the sorry rascal never owned a foot of it." The Colonel says that never from that time on did he claim a forest as his own.

Eleven steps in planning a good advertising program for a retail lumber and building materials dealer are set forth in the latest chapter of the Dealer Operating Guide which' is being prepared for members of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

The li steps are :

1. Observing the basic rules of retail advertising.

2. Selecting the right appeals.

3. Choosing the best subjects to feature.

4. Setting up an adequate advertising budget.

5. Planning the entire program in advance.

6. Determining the boundaries of the trading area.

7. Selecting the right advertising mediums.

8. Developing public confidence.

9. Making efiective use of advertising literature.

10. Selling the program to the organization.

11. Selecting a competent person to conduct the program. The advertising chapter, which was prepared with the aid of Phil Creden, chairman of NRLDA's Public Relations Committee and advertising manager of the Edward Hines Lumber Company, stresses the fact that, "Retail advertising is directional. To get results, it has to point one wayto your name, your address, your phone number-to your yard in other words.

"A mortgage? Why, Uncle Mose, you must not know the difference between a mortgage and a deed."

"Maybe not, Suh," said Uncle Mose. "But I knows one thing. I bought me a fahm once befo. I had me a deed, an de Fust National Bank had dem a mortgage. Now the Fust National Bank dey got de fahm, an' de deed, an, de mortgage. Dey got 'em all. So whut I wants dis time is a mortgage !"

"This is what makes retail advertising basically different from the product advertising of a national manufacturer. Only in rare instance's is the manufacturer interested in specific addresses which direct the prospect where to buy.

"That is because the manufacturer's job is to create product preference. It is the retailer's job to sell him.self and his services and to lead the prospect to his place of business.

"To spell it out in simple terms, the broad highway to successful retailing lies in handling products which are known and accepted in the area, giving an intelligent retail service, and then putting those products and services before the public."

Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club Educational Program

The following excerpts are from a talk given by D. P. Comstock, Western Pine Association, belore a gathering of retail lumbermen and others at the Merrit Business School, Oakland, October 9. The meeting was one of regularly scheduled classes sponsored by the Oakland HooHoo Club No. 39 in cooperation with the adult education program of the Oakland city schools.

its own rule book. Since both of these Western groups were in the main Ponderosa Pine producers, it was natural that they should cooperate in the matter of adjusting grades and sizes to a common level. In l9D joint rules were adopted. In 1931 the present Western Pine Association was organized.

Any discussion of .

,:*i."1

of the lumber industry today may well be prefaced by the relation of a few facts serving to orient it with the whole.

We begin with the tree, of which there are about 1,000 different species growing in this country. About 180 of these have some commercial importance and major production is limited to about 35. Something like 75/o of the total annual production is delivered by about L|/o of the 53,000 odd sawmills in the country.

Since the lumber

-unrrl.,lr"l."n

produce only what is in the log, being unable to make only that size or grade which might be in great demand locally, he must endeavor to ship into other more distant markets those items not needed locally; other more distant manufacturers do likewise, s}ipping items which may be in short supply locally. And so we find that no mill will agree to furnish when and where wanted all of the requirements of any one customer. It cannot. This situation has created the demand for the services of the lumber wholesaler who buys and sells in many places. About 75/o of all lumber produced is sold through some 6,000 of these wholesalers. Final distributiou is made through the approximately ?6,@0 retail lumber yards. ***

When in the early days of the industry the expansion of rail facilities made it possible to ship lumber farther and farther from the place it was produced, there became apparent the need of a common language by means of r,vhich buyer and seller alike could describe and understand qrrantity, sizes and quality of the lumber product. This need .n'as one of the primary reasons for the formation of lumbermen's associations. In the '90s the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen's Association and the Mississippi Valley l-umbermeh's, Association formed grade bureaus for this purpose. A few year's later these two groups were joined and became known as the Northern Pine Manufacturers Association. In the early 1900s a cooperative organization of lumbermen in the Inland Empire of the West was formed. Later this group embraced producers in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington; it u'as known as the Western pine Manufacturers Association and adopted the Northern pine Manufacturers Association rule book with modifications.

A few years later their own rules were adopted and published.

About the same time a similar effort was being made among the soft pine producers in California. Ultimately there r,vas formed the California White and Sugar pine Manufacturers Association, which adopted and published

What we know as the Western Pine region encompasses the western one-tl.rird of the United States. Our 350-odd member mills harvest and process 10 different ,spe,cies of softwoods. The most abundantly produced is Ponderosa Pine, of which some 4 billion feet annually has been manufactured during the past decade. Next is Larch-Douglas Fir, considered together at about Il billion board feet annually. Then White Fir whose production has risen from around 100 million feet in l94O to almost 1 billion in 1951. Next comes Sugar Pine, then Idaho White Pine, Engelmann Spruce, Lodgepole Pine, Incense Cedar and Inland Red Cedar. Annual production has been totaling well over 7 billion board feet the last few years.

In the region is a total of 79 million acres of commercial forest land, conservatively estimated to supporr'478 billion board feet of sawtimber, with an additional volume of pole sized timber. Of this area some 72/o is government owned or operated. In cooperation with federal, state and private groups the Western Pine industry has over the years developed an effectively organized fire, insect and disease protection program. To date over 5 million acres have been dedicated as Western Pine Tree Farms. Our industry alone spends over 5 million dollars for forest fire protection. ***

Discuss Plans for Nation-Wide Timber Resource Review

San Francisco, O.ctober 3-Twenty-two top U.S. Forest Service officials from the western States and Alaska met in San Francisco, October 2, with an equal number of representatives of western timber industries, State Foresters, and other organizations interested in timber resources.

This meeting was held to discuss plans for a nation-wide Timber Resource Review, which will take at.least two years to complete.

The advice and participation of all State and private agencies rvas solicited in order to develop plans for a comprehensive review, and secure all up-to-date facts on the current Forest situation.

Previous nation-wide appraisals of the Forest situation are already out-dated due to rapidly changing factors of use, from all causes, on one hand, and improved management, utilization, and conservation practices on the other.

This meeting is one of four similar conferences being held to plan the nation-wide Timber Resource Review. which is under the general direction of Edward C. Crafts, Assistant Chief of the U.S. Forest Service.

Regional Forester Clare Hendee and Robert Cowlin, Director of the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, were co-chairmen of the one day meeting, rvhich discussed the action plan to coordinate the efiorts and interests of all groups represented.

Experimental Aerial Brush Spraying

Experimental aerial brush-spraying is being carried on by Weyerhaeuser Timber company, according to Robert M. Ramstad, resident forester at the firm's Clemons tree farm near Elma, Washington.

"If we are able to control the brush in the 5 and lO-acre plots we are spraying, reforestation will be 'substantially easier," reports Ramstad. "Thickly growing vine maple, big-leaf maple, alder, salmon berry, thimble berry, salal, Oregon grape and other plant varieties have made it very dif;ficult to restock certain areas with Douglas fir."

The company hopes aerial spraying will reduce the brush competition for the few years needed to establish vigorous young stands of fir. Heavy brush makes seeding or planting operations difficult and chokes out y.oung firs before they can reach the ,sun above the brush umbrella.

"The sprays we are using have no deleterious effect on animal or bird life," Ramstad continued, "and especial precautions are taken to keep the chemicals within the boundaries of the small experimental plots. Sixteen plots are receiving experimental dosages of these sprays and all are six miles or more from the nearest edge of the tree farm."

"We know that a considerable saving in chemicals and manpower can be effected by spraying from the air instead of the ground, he said. "What we hope to determine is just how efficient these particular weed killer.s are from the air on these brush species and whether or not largescale aerial spraying is feasible."

Weed killers being used are of both new and old formulations, and while proven through ground application, .some are new to aerial spray work. Chemicals being tested were purchased from American Chemical Paint Co., Ambler, Pa., with Philip A. Watke, the firm's northwest field representative, supervising the mixing. Various "carriers" or "vehicles" for the chemicals are also being tested.

Spray contractor is Ray D. Souther, Ritzville, Washington. Souther, a veteran of S-years of applying chemicals from the air, leases spray planes from Central Aircraft, fnc., Yakima, Washington, hires the necessary pilot.s and ground crewmen, then contracts independently to carry out specific spraying jobs.

The chemicals are applied with a modified Stearman biplane-a revised version of the military PT-17, well-known to World War II aviation cadets. Modifications con.sist of an increased horsepower from 220 to 450, the substitution of larger wheels and braking surfaces and the placement of the spray tank in what was formerly the forward cockpit. A standard spray boom, slung just belorv the lower u'ing, dispenses the mix.

Rugged terrain in forest areas, coupled with the necessity for low-level flying in order that sprays may be kept within the experimental plots and properly saturate the brush to be killed, make expert flying a must.

According to Ramstad, final results of the spraying will not be known until after another growing season when residual effects, kill percentage, seed germination in sprayed areas and similar factors may be fully mea,sured.

M and O FM Radio Network Available ln Civil Defense Air Spotter Program

Minneapolis, Minn.-The Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company was complimented recently by Gen. Carl A. (Tooey) Spaatz, civilian head of the Civil Air Patrol and .former Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, for making the company's FM radio network available in the Civil Defense air spotter program.

On a trip to the west coast Gen. Spaatz visited the Minneapolis offices of M and O and reviewed the details of the prograrn with Col. E. B. Miller, Minnesota head of Civil Defense, and J. B. Faegre, president of M and O. The company radio system, comprising 35 stations located near the border in Minnesota and Ontario, has fixed base stations at International Falls, Big Falls, Kettle Falls, Warroad and the Northwest Angle in Minnesota and at Fort Frances, Atikokan and Kenora in Ontario. Additional stations are located in the permanent logging areas. Some of these bush sets are portable and others are at permanent camp locations.

Primarily used for logging communications, the system has been available to the Civil Defense aircraft spotters since early in 1951. Personnel who man the stations, either at the milLs or in the bush, are Civil Defense volunteers on duty around the clock with a sharp eye out for enemy planes. If the spotter spots an unidentified aircraft, he flashes this information over the radio to mill town stations.

fn turn, the information is radioed or telephoned to a filter center at Minneapolis where the flight is tracked. In the event of attack, fighter planes would be dispatched immediately to intercept.

At the same time industrial centers would be told of the oncoming attack. Col. E. B. Miller estimates that such a warning by the M and O spotters would reduce casualties by fifty per cent in bombings on Midwestern cities. Gen. Spaatz praised the .system as one of the best organized of, its kind in the United States and lauded the company's action in making available their radio system to the Civil Defense program as a fine example of civic and community cooperation.

In its day to day operation the FM system is used to provide instant communication between management and woods personnel. Because much of the logging, especially in northwestern Ontario, is done in vast wilderness areas that are almost roadless, FM radio has proved to be one of the most valuable tools in M and O's modern operations. What used to take days to accomplish now takes but a few hours. Supplies and machinery parts are flown to camp sites after an emergency has been reported to the mill town. Injured personnel often owe their life to the FM radio. An injury report to a mill town station sends a do,ctor fllying to the injured man. Meanwhile, the mill town hospital is alerted and ready to treat the injured logger when he is flown out of the bush. Before the advent of FM radio, an injured man may have had to wait ,several days before he received medical attention.

Straight Laminated Timbers Now Available As "strndard" Product Through Lumber Dealers

An in'rportant milestone in "timber fabrication', r\.as reached rece'tl1- *.hen straight, glued, laminatecl tirnbers of any size were made availaltle through retail Inml>er dealers.

Nou', big laminated timbers can be incluclecl in the lum_ ber orcler on any job. Delivery on time is assurecl. Definite, reetsonable prices are listecl and can be figurecl_in on the job in advance, lvith complete certainty.

The Ed Fountain Lumber Co., I-os Angelcs l,holesale lumber dealer, has pioneered this progressive step, n.hich makes straight, glued, laminated timbers :r ,.standard', builcl_ ing product insteacl of a highlil engineered, expen.sive "timber stmcture" available only through fabrication com_ panies.

The nerv product is known as ,,F'ountain Lan.r-Loc Tin.rbers." They are made to exact specifications, on order, in a ne\v laminating plant operated by the Ed Fountain l_um_ ber Company. The plant is ecluipped to produce onlv straight laminated timbers, no curvecl, arched. or taperei members that require special engineering ancl special manu_ facturing set-ups.

The only variations are size (from 3x12 up to l2xZ4 or

cssuring cccurote, unilorm pressure throughout lhe

even larger); and length (anvthins rrp to 80 feet). The resrrlting simplicity. in operation is reflected in a much lorver cost than is usually associatecl rvith laminated struc_ tural timbers.

"Fountain I-am-l,oc Timbers" are a tirnely ansu.er to a serious problem ncln' facing the lrrmber and building industries. The last t.rvo decades have r,vitnessed the rapidly cle_ creasing availability of "big sticks." Our supply of virgin timbe: has drvindlecl, and the demands of the plyi,vood in_ dustry for peeler logs have consumed the over-size logs that formerlv furnished large structural timbers. Nfore and more architects and builders have been turning a\\,a). from the rrse of bi.q timbers to steel and other substitutes. er-en though less satisfactory in many cases.

What is the answer? It is no longer practical to u,ait 400 vears or more for trees to attain the necessarl. size to cut these structural timbers. So the ans\\.er lies in glued. laminatecl timbers . r"naking "big ones out of little ones.', \\,-hile glued laminated t.oorl timbers are not nerv, they have lteen limited tl'rus far to tl.re classification of a speciai. custom-engineered product, u'ith its accompanving high costs.

War II has proven glued laminated timbers to be a unique stru,ctural material, with properties superior to those of solid timbers in strength and utility when manufactured to proper specifications.

This recognition has extended to architects and engineers. Specifi,cations have been drawn up by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and have been generally accepted by city and state building departments. It remained only for someone to bring this product from the high-cost, specially-engineered category to that of a practical product, readily available at reasonable cost through the regular channels of the lumber industrv.

To manufacture glued, laminaied timbers to proper specifications is no simple task. It requires engineering skill and ingenuity. It is still a relatively new field in which quality of product depends on a thorough technical'knowledge of lumber, its handling and working.

The Ed Fountain Lumber Company tackled the job. They felt particularly well-qualified, having the experience and "know-how" with lumber, plus the necessary large supply of proper grades of lumber, plus yarding, drying and milling facilities at their wholesale distribution yard in Los Angeles and their mill in Oregon. It took almost a year to com-

Urges Change in Mining Regulations

Wendell T. Robie, general manager of the Auburn Lumber Company, Auburn, Calif., has sent the following letter to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Western Pine Association, and the California Redwood Association, regarding a regulation which prohibits any mining operator from building a head frame of timber construction:

"ft has been called to our attention by some of the California miners, tfiat the California State Department of Industrial Welfare has developed and is enforcing a regulation which prohibits any mine operator from building a head frame of timber construction. The ruling demands that they construct a head frame of steel.

"Heavy timber construction has been normal for head frames in the mines of California through all the years of history. Perhaps there has been an. oc,casional instance which might indicate hazard from fire, but no doubt hazards of equal danger would occur and might be pointed out

plete the new laminating plant and solve the many complications involved, an indication of their thoroughness in doing the job right, once undertaken.

"Fountain Lam-Loc Timbers" are being sold only through retail lumber dealers. The cost naturally is higher than solid timbers, but the added cost is more than oftset by the important advantages of greater strength; freedom from warping, twisting and cracking; ready availability; and economy of installation by the regular crew of carpenters on a job.

The architect or engineer specifies the exact size required, just as he does any other item of lumber on the job. The lgmber dealer obtains a definite price quotation in advan,ce and handles the order according to his usual procedures. The "Lam-Loc Timbers" are manufactured by the Ed Fountain Lumber Company, with prompt service, reasonable cost and, most important, the reliability for which the Fountain concern has long been noted.

The company plans to make "Lam-Loc Timbers" available in other parts of the country in the near future through franchised plants in key cities.

(Note: Fountain Lam-Loc Timbers is a registered trade mark.)

for a steel structure (perhaps electrical or lightning danger). With the opportunity of fire protection at moderate cost, or perhaps fire resistant treatment, even this little hazard concerning a wooden structure could be totally eliminated.

"Lumber and timber are a natural resource product of California and their use for this purpose should be retained. Many times the demands for domestic mining production comes at a time of national emergency, when steel is not available and when its use should be confined to the needs of defense and armament. Even under present conditions, it seems foolish that such a regulation lvould subtract steel from greater demand to substitute for the efficient and readily available timber stiucture.

"The production of the mills of many of your members are readily available for present and potential mining development. We hope you have the expert or technical information which you will present to this state department, irr order to secure a change in this resolution."

There is as great a difference between removable R.O.Ws and ordinar5r windows as between a vacuum cleaner and a broom. Women like the patented removable feature because it permits complete removal, from the inside, for fast and easy cleaning. Men like it because it makes painting and glass replacement quick and convenient. The annoyance of ladders is eliminated. R.O.Ws combine the finest construction with the extra value take-out feature.

the Prevention Education, Woodland NAHB Convention \(/ill be in Chicaso Protection Pay Dividends in U. S.

Washington, D.C.-Continued emphasis on adequate forest protection is paying real dividends in the United States, says American Forest Products Industries. In its annual analysis of the forest protection picture around the country, AF PI this year points to the fact that losses from woods fires during 1951 were the lowest in history.

Only 10,78O,622 acres of woodland were burned in the United States last year-one-third less than the previous all-time low recorded in 1949. Sixty-seven per cent of last year's fire losses occurred on the 63,624,000 acres of woodland still without an organized system of protection.

Thirty-one states provide protection for all of their woodlands, the AFPI report states. All but 9.9 per cent of the wooded area covered in the report is protected.

A total of 164,085 woods fires were reported last vear compared to 28,394 in 1950. Thirty-five per cent of these occurred on unprotected land.

"The fact that there were fewer woods fires last year despite increased forest use speaks well for the intensive {orest fire prevention campaigns underway," declared Chief Forester James C. McClellan in comenting on the 1951 report.

"Expanded use of radio communication and power equipment in the woods and improvements in fire fighting techniques are responsible for holding acreage losses low," Chief Forester McClellan declared. "It takes a citizenry alert to the responsibility for being careful with fire in the 'w'oods to prevent forest fires from starting," Mr. McClellan added.

American Forest Products Industries is national coordinator of the Keep America Green fire prevention campaign now underway in 33 states. This forest industry supported organization also gives direction to the American Tree Farm System.

The analysis of 1951 forest fires in the United States showed 78 per cent of the rvoods fires and 80 per cent of the acreage burned loss occurred in the South. Virginia, South Carolina and Alabama are the only Southern states that now provide organized protection for all their woodland.

Florida, with 3,561,388 acres burned, had the Nation's highest woodland loss last year. Georgia and Mississippi, each with more than one million acres burned. rn'ere next. lowa, with only 278 acres burned, was lou,.

Incendiarism continued to be the principal cause of forest fire in the United States. A total of 39,396 willfully started fires were reported on protected woodlands last year. More than 36,000 of these occurred in southern states. Careless debris burners stated 19,588 fires and smokers started 18,3% nationally. These figures cover protected woodlands only.

The 1953 convention and exposition of the National Association of Home Builders will be held in Chicago January 18-22 at the Conrad Hilton Hotel.

Both the convention and exposition are expected to set new records in size and attendance.

Paul S. Van Auken, convention-exposition director, has announced that the number of exhibit spaces has been increased about 50 per cent over last year's record show. All exhibits are to be housed in the Conrad Hilton Hotel, which has expanded its lower level exhibit area.

More than 250 leading manufacturers of building materials and home equipment will display their products in the exposition hall, mezzanine and third floor of the hotel. Because all regular spaces were sold out on the first day of space assignment, the association has also taken over large areas of the sixth floor which are available to manufacturers in the order in which applications are received.

Convention sessions, covering all current housing issues and the latest developments in construction methods, are expected to attract unprecedented interest among the buildersl Of particular significance is the fact that this convention will be in progress at the time the new administration is inaugurated in Washington. Leading housing authorities and industry and government leaders will participate in the scores of panel discussions, clinics and demonstrations scheduled.

Joseph B. Haverstick,2nd vice president of the association and a prominent Dayton, Ohio, builder, again is chairman of the convention committee. He was also chairman for the 1952 show. Other committee members are Frank A. Collins, Chester, Pennsvlvania; Robert R. Schneider, Canton, Ohio; V. O. Stringfellow, Seattle, Washington ; Henry F. Fett, Royal Oak, Michigan; Floyd Kimbrough, Jackson, Mississippi; and Van Auken.

To accommodate the turnout, the association has over 5,000 hotel rooms which will be assigned to visiting delegates. All persons connected with the home building industry are eligible to attend the five day parley. National Association of Home Builders members may register in advance and make hotel reservations, beginning November 1, through their local NAHB chapters. All others should write direct to Convention Headquarters, National Association of Home Builders, 111 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago 4, Illinois. Advance registration of $15 for men and $10 for women must accompany requests for hotel reservations. Applicants should state name, address, business affiliation and date of arrival.

Construction Contracts Awarded In Eastern States

New York, Oct. 2G-Construction contracts awarded in the 37 states east of the Rockies for the first nine months of 1952 were 2 per cent higher than the corresponding period a year ago, it was reported today by F. W. Dodge Corporation, construction news and marketirtg specialists. This, despite inclusion in 1951 figures of $980 million in Atomic Energy Commission project awards. Without the,se.awards in the comparative 1951 figures, the current year is running 10 per cent ahead of last year.

The nine-month1952 awards total is $12,747,79I,00f.

Construction awards for the month of September showed a new surge of building activity with a total of $2,039,203,000 which was 42 per cent more than August and a whopping 88 per cent greater than Septemler 1951.

Individual classifications for September showed non-residential awards of. $1,272,367,000 which were 145 per cent more than August and 215 per cent over September 1951.

Moves Into New Quarters

An expanding business has necessitated the Berkeley Plywood Company's move into new quarters in Oakland, according to W. R. Odenthal, one of the partners. Associated with him is E. C. Harter. The new quarters at 1401 Middle Harbor Road, Oakland will have thirty thousand square feet, plus the yard. Everything will be under one roof. Besides jobbing plywood as mill representatives they are manufacturers of plywood iterns such as bins, etc. The Berkeley Bins is a subsidiary of the company.

According to Mr. Odenthal one of the recent developments in the use of plywood which has helped the growth of their business is pushing of plywood for sheathing on roofs. It is claimed there is a saving of fifty-eight per cent in labor. The Plywood Association is now strongly recommending plywood for the same use, but the Berkeley Plywood Company was working on the problem before that time and were pioneers in its use for the purpose.

Howard Noah, sales manager, E.- A. Padula Lumber. Co., San Francisco, recently spent a week calling on the trade in Los Angeles. He followed that by calling on mills in the Redrvood area.

Francis Heron, returned recently Heron Lumber Co., from visiting mills in Inc., San Francisco, Northern California.

Salvage Logging Team

Mqrtin Stormo, lelt, cnd the Wialred "Windy" Wetzel lcrmily, includiug Mrs. Wetzel cnd gon Keith, qre contrcct logging cr portion ol Weyerhceuser Timber compdny's Skykomish tree lcrm aecr Monroe, Wqgh. Girl, the 8 yecr old mcrre thct Keith is cstride, provides the "horsepower" Ior skidding bolts lrom decd and down cedcn trees to c lcnding where they cre msde into hcnd-split tcpered shqkes. The crec rvql origrinclly logged 5 or 6 yecrs ecrlier cnd is rcpidly being reloregied.

She's only eight years old, but she wears caulked shoes, has been logging for two years, and works like a horse.

She's Girl, an intelligent, efficient mare and an important member of a Snohomish county salvage logging team.

Girl, proof that there is still a job for the horse in the woods, works with a pair of industrious partners, Martin Stormo and Winfred "Windy" Wetzel, who are making horse logging pay on Weyerhaeuser Timber company's Skykomish tree farm near Monroe, Wash.

Stormo and Wetzel, from nearby Marysville, hold a salvage logging contract with Weyerhaeuser permitting them to take out dead anC down cedar from designated areas of the tree farm. Among the provisions of the contract is a stipulation that the logging be done by horse. This, of course, is to protect the young Douglas firs rapidly reforesting logged-over portions of the tree farm.

This is where Girl comes in. She is a capable and professional logger and it is something to see the husky mare "skid" cedar chunks through brush, over and around fallen logs and stumps, to the improvised landing. These chunks, or bolts, are converted on the spot by Stormo and Wetzel, using froe and mallet, into tapered shakes, shake boards, fence posts, hop poles, pegs and other useful products.

Salvaging cedar is hard work and horse logging presents some unusual problems.

Stormo and Wetzel say that cedar, like gold, is where you find it-and they frequently find it half-buried in the earth and overgrown with brush. Working with peaveys, they pry logs into a position where they can be bucked into bolts with a chain saw. These cedar bolts are usually 52 inches long (or some multiple of 26 inches) and in odd-sized chunks up to four feet in width.

Girl, making good use of her caulked shoes, backs up to the bolts, a chain secures the cedar to her harness, and with a word from Stormil she leans into her load, scrambling over, around and through obstacles to the landing, frequently up to 2000 feet away.

"The caulks stand Girl in good stead," says Stormo, "but they do create an additionaL hazard when she occasionally steps on my foot." According to Stormo, Girl fortunately seems to sense when she has her foot on something besides the ground or a log and doesn't put her full weight down.

Stormo and Wetzel are hard workers and take the ups and downs of horse logging in stride, according to Jay Gruenfeld, Weyerhaeuser forester in charge of the Skykomish tree farm.

"Contract loggers like Stormo and Wetzel perform a real service," says Gruenfeld. "They carry out a share of the company's program for greater utilization of the forest crop and are often the first to spot and report fires."

Gruenfeld has this to say for Girl, "She is an unusual animal. You don't find many horses with the patience and good sense necessary in the woods. She is responsive to Stormo's commands and in a tight spot-with her foot caught between two logs, say-she holds still until she gets help. Many horses would thrash around running the risk of serious injury."

Completing the Stormo-Wetzel logging team are Mrs. Wetzel and son Keith, age four. On almost any sunny day they can be found on the landing, helping with the board stacking and shake bundling. Keith, with a new pair of cowboy boots, gets plenty of rides on Girl-an opportunity envied by countless young cowhands who never get to straddle a real horse.

The partnership's major product, tapered cedbr shakes, is sold in bundles to a small sawmill at nearby Lake Stevens where they are wholesaled to lumber specialty jobbers. Most of them eventually find their way to builders and retail lumber dealers in California and the East, ending up on the roofs of some of America's finer homes.

Series of Dinner Meetings Sctreduled \(/estern Paciftc Plywood

A series of dinner meetings on the subject of "Lumber and Building MateriaLs Handling," have been scheduled throtlghout Northern California by the Lumber Merchants Association. The subjects for discussion will bring out the need for reduction of operating costs by more efficient handling of inventory and deliveries. They should help dealers, who are confronted with these problems, find a solution.

Featured in the program will be the film, "Mechanized for Profit," produced by the Building Supply News. The action shows the operation of mechanical handling in lumber yards throughout'the countrl, using methods which have been tried and proven profitable. The meeting should be of interest to supervisory personnel, and wherever possible, yard employees and truck drivers should attend, as it is they who actually handle the material and operate the equipment. Most of the ideas and ne!\' equipment were. developed by men in the yard rather than from men behind the desk.

The dates, places and dining locations are as follows:

Tuesday, October 28 . Santa Rosa, Richard's Supper Club

Wednesday, October 29 . . .. . . Sacramento, Hotel Senator

Thursday, October 30 . Stockton, Hotel Stockton

Wednesday, November 5 .. . Tulare, Hotel Tulare

Sells to Jobbers Only

Western Pacific Plywood Corp., 3200 Bandini Blvd., Vernon, recently reorganized, and established a new policy of selling to jobbers only.

The plant has a capacity of ll million feet of Douglas fir plywood a month, manufactured according to Douglas Fir Plywood Association standards. They specialize in two grades, regular plyscord sheathing CD and BD. All the BD grade is sanded on the face side.

They also manufacture MAPLY in %" thickness, with 3-ply veneer center and Masonite on both sides.

The veneers are transported from mills in Northern California and Southern California by truck and trailer to the plant and then made into plywood. They are working one shift at present but plan to put on a second shift soon.

Plywood stocks are carried at the plant and are sold in carload and less carload lots.

Tom Tomlinson, sales manager foq \\rholesale Lumber Distributors, Inc., recently returned from a trip to Southern Oregon and Elko, Nevada. He was accompanied by his wife, and at Elko they visited her family, owners of a large stock ranch on which they raise fine beef steers. To Tom they looked like so many beef steaks, rvhich to his regret were roaming over Nevada, and not on his table in his Berkeley home. But for that sad reflection Tom's trip was very enjoyable. There may be no connection, but about that time Johnny Tyson, who is head of the company, went deer hunting in the Redding area. At least he can bring his deer meat home.

Al Peirce of the Al Peirce Lumber Company, Coos Bay, and a director of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, plans to attend the Pacific Logging Congress to be held in San Francisco, November 10, 11 and 12. While in San Francisco he 'ivill make his headquarters at the offices of Paul McCusker, who is his Northern California representative. Al Peirce is well known in the industry and is considered one of its leaders.

Paul Williamson, salesman for the California Builders Supply Company of Sacramento, has just returned from a week spent at the Armstrong Cork Company school in Lancaster, Pa. Part of the coLlrse on Armstrong products included a tour via their company plane to the soft board plants in'Macon, Ga. and Beaver Falls, N. Y. Dave Olmstead, salesman for the company is scheduled to take the same course during the week of October 27 to November 1.

Casper (Her) Hexberg

The many friends of Casper (Hex) Hexberg were happy to hear that he is well and fit, after an absence of four months in which the doctors assured him that an ailment of some sixteen years' duration is now under control. Hex is not only a lumberman of many years standing, holding an important position with the Union Lumber Company, but is a distinguished son of Norway, honored for his many contributions to the welfare of his countrymen and mother country.

Hex was born in Sorum, Norway, December 11. 1887. He emigrated to Akley, Minn. in 1904. Being strong and husky he went to rvork in the timber regions but his stay was not for long. In 1907 the West called him and he came to California. His first job was as clerk's helper with the Acme Lumber Company, San Fran,crsco. Ile was promoted to freigl-rt agent for the National Steamship Company, a subsidiary of the Union Lumber Company, and later rvas made manager of the steamship company. Next, as the manager of lJnion's retail yards, he was appointed district sales manager of the company. In the meantime he married

Anne Scarbo, and their family now includes three children Agnes, Bjarne and Russel.

While a true American, Hex found time to interest himself in the people from his homeland. For his work he was presented with the St. Olav's Medal on a special occasion by the Norwegian Consulate. Hex was president of the "Henrik Ibsen" Lodge of the Sons of Norway, and of the Norwegian Singing Society. At one time he was president of the Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers' Association and chairman of the convention committee which arranged for the two Sangerfests in San Francisco in 1928 and 1939. He is a charter member of the San Francisco Scandinavian Civic League, and was its first president in 1934. At present he is a member of the Norwegian Club, has acted as its president for two years, and served_ on the board of directors. He is a member of Bolder Lodge F.A.M., Fraternity Club, Viking Club Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo No. 4I0Sg, East Bay Hoo-Hoo Club and San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club.

In spite of his many activities and his duties with the Union Lumber Company he finds time to indulge his hobby of gardening. Being thrifty, a trait he no doubt inherited from the old country, he used to raise vegetables, but now he centers his interest on flowers and particularly roses, of which he has many varieties. Hex has a home in San Francisco, but spends his week ends at a place on Kings Mountain, west of Palo Alto. In both places he has his garden. If Hex has any vices it is playing dominos or penny-ante with his family or any of his many friends who drop in often to enjoy his company. Next January he will have been forty-six years with the Union Lumber Company. They have been years full of worth while activity, and during them he has made a host of friends, which is sufficient evidence of success in anv man's life.

Named Manager of Southern Lumber Co.

Marvin NeLson who was formerly manager of the Stanislaus Lumber Company of Modesto is now manager of the Southern Lumber Company of San Jose, according to Edwin Pohle, proprietor of the concern. They are now in the process of moving into new quarters, which have been especially planned with an eye to better merchandising. Display and modern merchandising methods, which have been developed to such a high degree in other lines, have now found its way into the lumber brrsiness.

How The Ccrrpenter ChecteC Himsell

A certain rich man who wanted to help a poor carpenter whom he thought to be deserving, hired the carpenter to build a house on a hillside, and then went away on a long journey. The carpenter said to himself : "My boss is away and I can use shoddy materials and neglect the supporting materials for the house because they do not show when the building is completed. The house-will be weak, but nobody will know it but me." So he built a ramshackle house.

When the rich man came back the carpenter had finished the building, and said to him: "Here is your house." "Thank you," said the rich man, "here is the deed and the key. I am giving it to you."

And the carpenter grieved that he had robbed himself of a good house. We reap what we sow. We have to live in the house of life that we build. If we do shoddy work, if we "soldier" on the boss, we pinclr ourselves, and shrivel up and lose our ability to distinguish between right and wrong. We have to live with ourselves. It is a tremendous fact that each of us is building the house today we will have to live in tomorrow.

A Wecrver

I am a weaver of golden cloth, Singing old songs, I weave A fabric to wrap round a thousand dreams, When the long blue shadows leave.

The smile of a girl in organdy, The touch of a small, white hand, A winding road in Normandy, Where tall, white birches stand.

The path of a tear that traced ?w?ft Down a cheek I would have kissed; The starlight of a night in May, Red lips and meadow mist.

These things are golden; I weave them, Mindless of pattern or form, fnto the fragment cloth of gold, That keeps my old dreams warm.

Just Wanted To Be Sure

Two backwoodsmen knocked at the door of a house at the edge of the forest, and a farmer came to the door.

"Ffello, Ed," said one of the men, "say, we came across the body of a dead man over there in the hollow and he looked so much like you we kind of thought it was you."

"That so? What did he look like?" asked the farmer.

"Well, he was your build and weight."

"Flave on a grey flannel shirt?" "Yep." "Boots?" "Yep."

"Vr'vz they, knee boots, or hip boots?"

"Let's see. Which was they, Charlie, knee boots or hip boots? Oh, yes, they was hip boots."

"Nope," said the farmer with conviction, "it wasn't me."

End Of Men And Flowers

When I saw you making sorrowful end, (Knowing that you were soon about to die), Sorting your rings, promising such and such, Each careful, sad disposal to each friend, Your books, 1zour furs, your house, your tapestries, Troubled about how little and how much.

I thought how easily the daisies go, Ffow tranquilly each fading frond and leaf Slips back into the mould without demur, With nothing to bequeath, regret, or owe; FIow soon the hawthorn, after journey brief Lies down and pulls the grasses over her.

Mills, Ycrrds Prolit by TECO Trussed Rqfters in Public Housing

Washington, Sept. 29-Sales of over 33/-million board feet of lumber, conservatively valued at $1,684,@0, have been realized by the mills and yards supplying standard framing lumber for constructing Teco trussed rafters used in public housing, according to Alden K. Smith, sales manager of Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

"More than 146,00O dwelling units have been built or put under construction in 301 projects since passage of the public housing act in 1949," said Mr. Smith. "Of these, 42,ffi0 units, or almost 30 per cent, feature clear span roof construction using Teco trussed rafters.

E.K.\(/ood Lumber Co. Announces Changes At Los Angeles Yard

E. K. Wood Lumber Co. has announced the following changes at their Los Angeles yard:

Harry Gully has been named general sales manager. Harry was formerly a salesman at the company's Temple City yard. and prior to that was a partner in the Hansen-Gully Lurnber Co. at Riverside. Before that he was manager of the E. K. Wood yard at Riverside.

Dale Goodwin, formerly manager of the Whittier yard, has been appointed purchasing agent.

\{ilton Cowling, who was manager of the Los Angeles yarci, will be in charge of the company's lumber stocks at the Red Anchor Dock.

l,loyd Gamble has been appointed manager of the Los Angeles yard. He was formerly with the company's mill at Roseburg, Ore.

R. L. "Red" ThompSon, in the sales department at the Los Angeles office, has been made manager of the Ter4ple City yard, succeeding A. L. Radamacher, who has retired.

Everett Bradfield, salesman rvorking out ol the Los Angeles office, has been named manager of the Whittier yard.

Jack Keeley has been appointed yard foreman of the Los Angeles yard. He was formerly with the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau at Seattle.

"This type of construction," he pointed out, "affords economies in time and labor. With plenty of lumber available, as usual, and with experienced Teco trussed rafter fabricators in all sections of the country, the projects can move rapidly to completion.

"No load bearing partitions are required, so the trussed rafters go up and the roof goes on when the outer walls are completed. Floors, ceiling, plumbing and much of the other interior work can proceed, regardless of weather, and be completed before partitions are erected. This," Mr. Smith declared, "means savings in time, labor and money."

A booklet on the construction and uses of Teco trussed rafters may be obtained on request to Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.

of them, like the marble one presented by the state of Vermont, are big and heavy, but none more so than the 64 lb. coast redwood gavel presented to Mr. Martin by the Republican County Central Committee of San Francisco.

This committee determined to top all other gavels ever given to the former Speaker of the House, but they were just about as surprised at its size as its recipient when it was wheeled in to the presentation luncheon on a hotel trunk dolly.

The Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) from which the gavel was made, was cut on the property of The Pacific Lumber Company more than half a century ago. The log from which the gavel was ,cut has been in use as a bearing in one of the operations at the Scotia mills of The Pacific Lumber Company for the past fifty years.

A silver plate was placed on the gavel with the following inscription :

New Book on Forest Taxction In the Pacific Northwest

Timber tax structures in the Pacific Northwest have been known for years for their lack of uniformity and widespread variations, but a copyrighted publication, "A Study of Forest Taxation in the Pacific Northwest," may help cure this economic and political problem.

E. P. Stamm, chairman of the Industrial Forestry Association, in announcing the author as Julian E. Rothery, nationally known forest economist, took time out to hail the study as a significant contribution to the economic future of the region.

The study outlines sirnple principles of timber valuation while recognizing the many difficulties in appraising and assessing timberlands. Rothery advocates a sliding scale for as.sessment as different forests have difierent values according to their timber harvest schedule. He says thousands of taxpayers must own and manage timber in "wholesale" lots in order to practice forestry.

Roads must be built through entire forest areas long before the timber is needed fo.r harvest, in order to provide adequate prote.ction against fire, proper management, and to allow salvage of timber destroyed by the elements. True, roads make the entire area accessible, and asses.sors have

been inclined to classify a developed area at a "retail" assessment rate even though good forestry and long-range needs of a community or industry dependent upon the timber may not need it for years.

"We don't expect or want preferential tax treatment," Stamm warned, "but we ask full recognition of the time element for timber, young and old, in order that we can practice sound fo.rest management without being forced to liquidate holdings that have been loaded with a 'retail' assessment rate long before the harvest schedule dictated by good forestry and sound economic's."

Stamm stated that not only forest fires but inequitable taxation could limit the su.ccess of long-range forestry. He sees in a failure to recognize the difference between "wholesale" and "retail" as.sessment rate a threat to the security of four rnillion acres of tree farms in the Pacific Northwest and a threat to the 250,000 persons who work in the forest industries. These citizens and their income are the backbone of our Northwest economy, he'said.

The Rothery study is recommended as an authoritative and objective text for all assessirrg officers and officials, legislators, students of forestry and taxation, forest landowners throughout the two states and economists. ft may be pur.chased at $5 a copy from the Industrial Forestry Association, 1410 S.W.

Harry D. Gaines Elccted President of National Hardwood Lumber Association

Harry D. Gaines, widely known lumbermah of St. Louis, Missouri, was elected to the presidency of the National Hardwood Lumber Association at the 55th annual convention of the group held in Boston, Massachusetts, September 72-25. Mr. Gaines, head of his own hardwood wholesale business, succeeds Lee Robinson, sawmill operator of Mt. Vernon, Alabama, who has served as president for the past two years. As past president, Robinson will be a member of the executive committee.

Re-elected to serve as vice presidents are James C. Walsh of Chicago and T. M. Millett of Louisville, Kentucky. Franklin Griffin of Chicago, also elected to a vice pre,sidency, has been serving as a director.for a number of years. New directors chosen to fill vacancies included Alvin Huss, Huss Lumber Company, Chicago, Illinois.

Joseph L. Muller, who has served the Association as acting secretary-manager since the retirement of John W. M,cClure last January, was appointed secretary-manager by the board of managers in their annual meeting following the convention. Maurice B. Pendleton is serving as assistant manager; Ray If Bayer, as a,ssistant secretary in charge of the inspection department; Mark Larson, as assistant secretary in charge of the accounting department and

William H. Nelson, as chief inspector. Additional action of the board included the approval and discussion of reports by the secretary and staff members and the formulation of plans for the ensuing year. It was decided to hold the Association's fifty-sixth'annual,convention in Chicago next year.

Mr. Gaines has taken an active part in the management affairs of the industry's largest association for many years and has served as vice president since 1948. He has been engaged in some phase of the hardwood lumber industry all of his business life, having operated saw mills and lumbering operations prior to the establishment of his nationally known hardwood wholesale and con.centration yard in St. Louis in 1942. He was one of the original proponents of the inspection training school of the Association sponsored and established in Memphis, Tennessee, and has played an active part in the successful direction of the only school of its kind which recently graduated its ninth class.

In addition to being a successful business executive and lumberman, Mr. Gaines has taken an active part in many civic, charitable and social affairs in his home city. He is a trustee of one of St. Louis' largest charitable foundations and a director of the Security National Bank and Trust Company. During his several travels abroad he has had an opportunity of indulging his hobby of color photography. While in Europe this past summer he added some 1600 scenic views to his library. This together with his unmatched collection of beautiful wood turnings is worthy of a place in any art museum.

With his intimate knowledge of the lumber industry, his long acquaintance and help in the Association's many activities and his broad business experience, Mr. Gaines should prove to be a worthy successor to the many outstanding men who have guided the broad, involved affairs of the Association for over a half century.

The executive committee which guides the affairs of the Association between meetings of the directors at the conventions now includes the following directors at large together with the newly elected officers: Abbott M. Fox, Iron Mountain, Michigan; George H. Henderson, Lufkin, Texas; F. W. Hutcheson, Huntsville, Ontario; Joseph J. Linehan, Cincinnati, Ohio; D. C. MacLea, Baltimore, Maryland; J,ohn W. McClure, Memphis, Tennessee; John I. Shafer, Logansport, Indiana and Lee Robinson, Mt. Vernon, Alabama.

Private Capital Uses Teco Trussed Old \fholesale Price List Rafters in Military Housing

Washington-Teco trussed rafters have been used in building 14,596 housing units in 33 privately financed and owned apartment projects at military installations throughout the nation, according to Alden K. Smith, sales manager of Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Over 38 per cent of the 86 projects, and nearly 40 per cent of the 36,841 dwelling units built since 1949, when the Wherry Act attracted private capital into rental housing at military bases, feature clear span roof construction with Teco trussed rafters.

"Approximately 10,800,0@ board feet of lumber have been required for the Teco trussed rafters alone in these military rental housing units," Mr. Smith pointed out. "This has meant lumber sales exceeding half a million dollars.

"The sizeable proportion of Teco trussed rafter construction in these projects is indi,cative of its popularity among builders," he continued, "and it reflects private capital,s confidence in the Teco ring connector system as applied to engineered timber construction.

"With plenty of lumber available, as usual," Mr. Smith concluded, "the economies in time and labor, afforded by this type of construction have increased the use of Teco trussed rafters in homes, churches, schools ".td light "o*- mercial buildings."

A special booklet on Teco trussed rafters is available on request to Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.

New Masonite Display

Masonite Corporation's new display for lumber dealers was designed by Harper Richards. The front of the display is Leatherwood, painted red, and the Masonite Man is formed of routed Black Tempered Presdwood. Up to forty panels of Masonite Presdwood 4x4 in size, or smaller. will fit into one side of the island-type display. Panels are easily loaded and removed for impulse sales to handymen. In the installation pictured, the dealer has marked the price of the individual panels with chalk. Mounted on the panel of perforated Presdwood are photographs featuring home, store and farm uses of the ,company's hardboards. Sales captions are underneath. At the front left is a literature rack. and hanging on the side is a sample pack. On the opposite side is a Plyron shelf for the showing of paint, brushes and similar allied items. There is room also for displaying a predecorated panelboard. The island-type diplay is 4l feet wide, 6 feet high and 2l feet deep. A smaller-capacity one-sided display, for positioning against a wall, is identical in appearance, though its depth is just 16 inches.

Construction Activity in September, 1952

Expenditures for new construction in September totaled $3,112 million, about the same as in August, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division, U. S. Department of Commerce. Dollar outlays exceeded the 3-billion mark for the third consecutive time in September, to round out the largest quarterly volume on record-$9.3 billion, in contrast to $8.7 billion in third quarter 1951.

fn most major construction categories, activity during September continued at high levels which is usual for this time of year. Private expenditures totaled $2,037 million, and public $1,075 million.

Comparing the record volume for July-September 1952 with that for third-quarter 1951, private residential building and public utilities construction rvere higher, and private nonresidential building q7a5 leyls1-each by 9 per cent. Private new construction activity as a whole was up by 3 per cent. All major types of new public construction, except public housing, also showed an increase over the year; the entire public sector was 13 per cent greater.

For the first 9 months combined, private expenditures this year, at $16.1 billion, were slightly under last year's total. In contrast, public construction-;totaling $8.1 billion -was up by a fifth, largely as a result of increased Federal spending for military, atomic energy, and defense plant facilities, particularly in the first half of the year.

California National Forests Return John B. Veach Named Munitions Over $3rA Million to Forest Counties Board Consultant

San Francisco, October 9-The National Forests of California returned over 3r/4 million dollars to forest counties for roads and schools for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 1952.

fn announcing this sum Regional Forester Clare Hendee points out that this revenue to the counties, in lieu of taxes on National Forest lands, is provided for by Federal Law. The Act provides that 25/o of the gross receipts from National Forest lands shall be returned to the state in which the forests are situated. The state then distributes these monies to the counties on the basis of the proportionate area of the county within the boundaries of a National Forest. An added IO/o of. forest revenues is made available to the Forest Service for roads and trail work in the National Forests. By this means the counties benefit by what amounts to a 35 ,% equity in National forest lands within the county.

National forest revenues reached a new high in fiscal year 1952, exceeding 1951 over 40/o. This was due largely to expansion of timber sales particularly in the northern timbered counties of the state. Direct payments to the counties in some of these northern forests will average as much as 60 cents per acre for all the National forest land in the county.

The firm has a museum in which many of the old documents, bills and plans which they used in the early days, can be viewed. These include plans for large homes with no bathrooms, estimated to cost about $250.00 per room. Needless to say thev have only a historic value today.

Standard Lumber Grades Cut Construction Costs

Washington, D.C.-Construction engineers can save time and money by ordering standard grades of lumber instead of special grades, Frank J. Hanrahan, ci:ief engineer of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, advised today.

The ordering of special grades causes delay and boosts the cost of lumber, Mr. Hanrahan explained, because of the extra manufacturing and handling involved. the possibility of errors. and the general break-down of efficiency when mills convert to custom-made items.

N{r. Hanrahan also predicted that in the next 100 years, the wood products industry will at least equal advances made in the manufacture, marketing and use of wood during the past century.

fn connection with standard lumber grades, Mr. Hanrahan declared:

"Today we are in a position to take full advantage of the substantial economies and conservation cf resources which result from the use of a standard rather than a made-toorder article.

"Modern stress grades and inspection have made lumber a true engineering material in every sense of the word. The structural and architectural versatility of lumber has been greatly increased bv glued laminatcd lumber which is also available in standardized commercial grades."

Mr. Hanrahan added that leaders in the wood products industry, by putting greater emphasis on technical activities, are increasing job opportunities for engineers and other technicians.

Construction engineers sholved a keen interest in the subject of standard lumber grades during a two-day wood symposium which Mr. Hanrahan arranged at the Centennial of Engineering Convocation in Chicago last month. Mr. Hanrahan was spe,cially commendecl for the project by the American Society fcr Testing Materials, one of the sponsors of the symposiurr'.
