What Do YOU Think?

Trying to keep up with and interpret the lumber grade simplification and standardization controversy reminds us of the old game of "Button, button, who's got the button?"

We read t}at this group is in favor of the proposed program . oobut!" And this association is against the program o'however!" Then there are other groups which leave no doubt as to their pro or con stands.

Ourselves? W'e are aware that far wiser heads than ours are needed to find an

equitable and harmonious solution. Thus, in these pages we attempt to publish something from both sides, and hope that in so doing our readers will be better able to make their own decisions.

One thing that puzzles us. In conversation many people are willing to voice their opinions, but often with the reservation, "Don't quote us", Or, if we ask that they write us something for publication, they say 'oSure", but we never get the letters. Too busy? Indiflerent? Disinterested? ooButton, button, who's got the button?"

Timln-Wenholz Lumber Company

"The day we opened was really hectic."

"The plastering wasn't done yet on the store building and we were up on ladders trying to finish it. As people would get lumber out of the yard, we would come down off the ladders, take their money, and then hurry back to plastering."

The man talking is Alvin L. Wenholz, who with partner Lyle W. Timm started the Timm-Wenholz Lumber Company in \947.

Since the erection of the first, small building at 12254 East Carson Blvd., in Hawaiian Gardens on the fringe of Greater Los Angeles, they have made four additions to enlarge the salesroom, storage and offices to handle the increased trade that is the result of good business practices.

EVERY BUITDING NEED''

Timm-Venholz Lumber is a do-it-yourself yard that has an inventory capable of putting real meaning into the phrase, "Every Building Need." The store and yard cover over an acre and are close to the neighboring town of Artesia.

One of the storerooms ofi the spic-and-span salesroom is devoted to a specialty of the company, flashings. Lined up in neat rows for quick saleability and ease of handling and inventory are over 50 kinds of flashings.

Fifteen years ago the firm was mainly oriented toward the rural end of the trade, but with the growth of the subdivisions in the bedroom communities growing up around Los Angeles and in nearby Orange County the firm has turned to servicing the contractors and to handling the constantly growing do-it-yourself trade of the new homeowners.

Alvin Wenholz has been associated with the lumber business since coming to California in 1926. He handles the lumber division of the firm. Lyle W. Timm joined the lumber business after leaving the Air Force in 1945. He handles the pricing and estimates for the company.

Robert Timm, Lyle's brother, joined the firm in 1947. He is a salesman and handles the paint division.

The other salesman for the firm is Orville Wenholz, Alvin's son who has been with the firm since 1950. In addition to his sales duty he specializes in the paint department.

Harold Marquette is yard foreman and works with Berness Ferguson, Kenneth Munson and Mark Gray who are employed as truck drivers and salesmen in the yard.

Personable Helene Jordon ably handles the office and has been with the firm since 1955.

EFFICIENT OPERATION

Immediately behind the store is the large, orderly yard with its well-stacked lumber standing like soldiers on parade by the straight aisles for. quick-action delivery by the yard crew. Nine units of mobile equipment expedite the jobs of moving, stacking and delivering. The slick efficiency of today is a {ar cry from opening day when the yard was a pasture covered by several inches of alkali.

The success of these savvy retailers is undoubtedly due in main to the reputation the firm has built over the years as being always ready to put time and effort to realize the customer's wishes and wants.

LASC Conference to Draw Big Crowd to Palm Springs

There are two big reasons why a large attendance is expected for the Fall Conference of the Lumber Association of Southern California, to be held November 15-17 at the El Mirador Hotel in Palm Springs.

One is the excellent and varied program planned by North Swanson, chairman, and Bob Leishman, Association president.

The second is that the wholesalers, now a part of LASC, will for the first time, in attendance and participation, be an integral part of the Conference.

Well, perhaps we should add a third reason-Palm Springs and the EI Mirador Hotel are an aw{ully nice place for a meeting this time of the year.

As we go to press, all details of the program have not been finalized; however, we can give you the highlights-and the assurance that, from what we hear. your attendance will be time well spent.

Wesfern Groups Continue Support of NLMA Grade Program

The executive committee of the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau and the Bo6rd of Trustees of WCLA agreed at an October meeting in Portland to continue the support of the NLMA grade simplification and standardization program presently before the western lumber industry.

The WCLIB executive committee instructed its member on the American Lumber Standards Committee to vote to approve the size and moisture content provisions of the program when the ALS meets in Washington, D.C. on November 8 and 9.

The Western Pine Association and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association have jointly agreed to the program of simplification of grades in an effort to make it easier to buy and specify lumber in the market place, reports G. C. Edgett, man. ager of the grading bureau and.executive iSoe presideni of the WCLA.

Also before the ALS is a proposal from the Southern Pine Association, Edgett said, which would require that green lumber be surfaced oversize, which would penalize our green lumber manufacturers in the market place. IVe will oppose the Southern Pine proposal, he said, with all our energ'y.

Edgett stressed that the standardization and simplification program, which has the support of WCLA, IVestern Pine Association, and North Eastern Lumber Manufacturers Association' faees many hurdles before adoption. But, most important, Edgett pointed out, is the fact that retail and wholesale lumbermen, manufacturers and user groups will have a chance to vote on the proposals before they are finally adopted.

Edgett traced the steps necessary to make a major change in lumber grading. If the AI5 accepta the propoeal of WCI,A and WPA'insteail oI that of Southern Pine,

then ALS will indicate to the Department of Commerce tley approve. Then the De. partment of Commerce will submit the proposal by referendum to an extensive acceptor list, which will include several thousands of retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers. home builders and other usbrs. WCLA and WCLIB, Edgett emphasized, will cooperate fully with the Department of Commerce to make sure that all iriterested parties will be given an opportunity to be heard. Currently under way, he said, are meetings in key cities of the nation, with retailers, specifiers, wholesalers and others.

It is our intent, Edgett concluded, to continue to work closely with \ffestern Pine Association toward the end of achieving uniformity of grades and standards between tlre two region*..vhich3rg{1W,$Q% of the nation's softwood lumber.

Grade Simplification Meetings Held in Los Angeles

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association on October 1l held its first Southern California meeting concerning the grade simplification system as propsed by WCLA, WPA and NLMA.

Guests at the luncheon meeting, held at the Statler Hilton in Los Angeles, included approximately 50 members of the Lumber Association of Southern California.

Cleve Edgett, executive vice president of WCLA, explained the system to the Iumber dealers. Theo. Deal, Long-Bell Division, International Paper Co., Arthur Lahey, Weyerhaeuser Co., and staff members T. K. May, Al Fiegles, Robert Mahafiey and Carl Ramstrom assisted in the presentation and question-and-answer period.

Ralph Hill, Owens-Parks Lumber Co., Erik Flamer and Paul Hollenbeck of LASC, presented the Association's divergent views.

During the evening of the llth, WCLA hosted the building officials of the Los Angeles area. This is one of the meetings held between the officials and WCLA to air mutual problems. Edgett, as chairman for the evening, introduced Al Fiegles, grading superintendent for WCLA, who explained the new stress-grading machine. T. K. May disoussed the simplified span tables to be used with the new grade standardization system.

Again, as with the lumber dealerso much

interest was shown concerning the grade standardization program.

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association held a meeting on Grade Simplification for the Los Angeles area wholesalers on October 12, at the Jonathan Club. This was the first meeting ever held in Southern California by the National. American group.

Frank Bader, Ed Fountain Lumber Co., was chairman for the meeting. He introduced Jack Mulrooney, executive vice president, and Don Andrews, western manager, who discussed f uture plans of the Association.

Gerry Prange, vice president and director of technical services for NLMA, was the principal speaker and explained the standardization system to the 40 wholesalers present.

A summary of Mr. Prange's presentation follows, for consideration, pro or con, by our readers. Should more information be desired, call the following NLMA field offices in California: in Los Angeles,

Siddall of Wilmar's Inc., San Jose, California, are designed to promote better and more profitable home improvement and instruct building consultants in the intricacies of kitchen planning.

"It is a well known fact that women are the instigators of most home improvement, large or small, and are naturally concerned with improving their kitchens," says WilIiams. "Our special training will make it possible for the dealer to tap this vast market."

Siddall is not only well grounded in teaching, contracting, retailing, and manag. ing, he has spent years learning the home improvement field o'inside-out". In 1949 he went to Wilmar's Inc. in San Jose, and soon after became manager of their home improvement contracting.

Siddall spent much time in training schools, being graduated from an Advanced Course in Hardware Retailing; General Electric College of Kitchen Planning; Hotpoint and T'appan-Youngstown Training Courses; Building Supply News' School of Kitchen Merchandising; House Beautiful Home Improvement Management Training Course: and he has studied under such well known people as Art Johns, of the Living for Young Homemakers Design Center; Ron Ringenberg, of Mutschler Bros. Co.; and Genevieve Young, Consultant for Gregg

and Sons, Inc, He has appeared on several panels including the National Institute of Wood Kitchen Cabinets, at the request of Kitchen Business Magazine dditors.

Time at the school will be allotted to all phases of this vast kitchen improvement field, such as drawing floor plans, design and layout, selecting cabinets, following up Ieads, handling the customer, making iSometric drawings, estimating, handling contracts and sub-contractors, making cost sheets, installing, follow-up, displays, management and bookkeeping.

o'This school," states Williams, "will no doubt add confidence to the selling techniques of the graduates. This is our aim."

Inquiries about the school should be addressed to the CHIP National organization, 734 No. Barranca, Covina, California.

ORANGI COUNTY CHAPTER

Rqilroods to Heqr Weslern Sqwmills' Petition

The Western Lumber Marketing Association has received word from Washington, D.C., that its request for a public hearing on a proposal to reinstate holdover privileges for eastbound railroad cars of lumber has been eranted.

The WLMA proposal -for restoration of several rail services has been docketed for hearing before all member railoads of the Western Traffic Association starting November 28, 1962 in San Francisco. The petition for hearing was signed by more than 200 western sawmills.

James J. Heneghan of Seattle, WLMA president, called the railroads' agreement to a full hearing ooa major step forward in our efiorts to stabilize the position of western sawmills."

'oW'e are delighted that the railroads have taken this longsighted approach to the problems of western lumber," he said. "Our proposal to regain enough marketing freedom to compete with Canadian lumber producers and manufacturers of other building materials is an essential part of the solution to these problems.

"The need for flexibility in marketing by rail, without which small and medium-sized sawmills cannot survive, has been completely overlooked in the sound and fury about the Jones Act, Canadian lumber competition, Forest Service policies, and the score of other troubles which plague our industry today," Heneghan said. 'oThis agreement by the railroads to fully consider our requests for rail marketing latitude is the first real opportunity we have had to work out this key part of the overall western lumber situation."

The WLMA's petition to the railroads requests that they reinstate tariff rulings which would permit carloads of lumber being shipped east to be held up to five days in-transit without penalty to the shipper. This privilege had been allowed lumber shippers throughout the growth of the western lumber industry, starting in 1877. The practice was terminated b'r the Interstate Commerce Commission in August, 1960, though similar rail shipping privileges are still accorded manufacturers of many other products.

The petition further requests that rail lumber shippers be allowed to delay carloads in-transit an additional seven days for a charge of $3.00 per day. These hold privileges, according to the WLMA, permit small mills to fill orders in the midwest and east with the speed and at the cost their buyers demand.

Heneghan said that oothe economic survival of the more than 1,000 sawmills with which our members do business is strongly linked to the results of the November 28 hearins. It has been most difficult for them to stay in business under the present restrictions on rail marketing. And if they go down, it's impossible to even guess how many people in logging and other dependent industries will lose their livelihood at the same time.

ooFor the sake of all these people, we hope the railroads will regard our proposal as a challenge to seriously consider the entire economy of the west, the important part of lumber in that economy, and the essential role that the railroads themselves play in the rvell-being of our industry," he said.

Lumber Dealers Voice Alarm at New Standards

In anticipation of the meeting of the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) on November 8-9, to conduct hearings on the proposed changes in lumber standards, the Greater New York Lumber Industries, Inc., a trade association of lumber dealers and distributors, has released information received from many elements within the industry or using its products.

Reaction to the proposals has been strong, if not violent, opposition to their adoption. Representative comments revealed a widespread feeling that o'at no tinre.was the consumer or retailer given any consideration" and "only a few have heard anything about it" while to others it ap-

pears

oomanufacturers wish to run over them (dealers) rough shod." Furthermore, it was generally felt the proposals are "not backed by adequate research" and'owhatever merit the proposal has was lost because of the poor public relations job they (manufacturers) did."

Even the government has not spoken up requesting the changes advocated, though its Department of Commerce (which has jurisdiction over ALSC) acknowledges ". . . we are aware of present efiorts to revise the lumber size standards . . ."

Who, then, is behind the steam.roller which is rushing down upon the lumber industry like a juggernaut?

There has been an aura of mysterv sur-

rounding much of the campaign to force through the adoption of new standards and sizes. The names of the principal sponsors have been cloaked in the anonymity of NLMA, though it is known that even with NLMA there is a far from unanimous stand on this question.

That this is a pocket book issue with the manufacturers sponsoring the measure has never been denied. but there has been almost no discussion on this phase of the proposals. Obviously certain manufacturers stand to profit enormously . whereas those on the lower eclrelons of the industry not only will not profit but in all probabili ty will lose considerable money by the adoption of such radical changes.

Simon L. Miller, President of Greater New York Lumber Industries, calls for more statesmanship in handling this explosive issue. "Before any such proposals should even be considered by ALSC, there should be extensive research to determine what changes, if any, are desirable in lumber standards, as well as their potential efiect. This should start at the consumer level and work up through the retailer and wholesaler. with the manufacturer at the final point of consideration. As it stands now, we have the cart before the horse. The manufacturer is attempting to dictate what the consumer should have and what the retail lumber dealers must sell."

Mr. Miller continues, oolt is about time the consumer got a break. Whenever changes are proposed-in any industryinvariably the claim is made that they benefit the consumer; but somehow, in the long run, he always seems to have to pay more."

W'hile many within the lumber industry and those who use its products professionally are of the opinion the forthcoming meeting of ALSC is for the purpose of enlight- 'ening the industry on the whys and wherefores of such changes, indications are that efiorts will be made to push through a vote to adopt the measures. If proof of this were needed, W'estern Pine Association has al'

6-819l

ready announced (as the first avowed sponsor of the changes) that it plans to put the changes into efiect January 1, 1963 !

Aside from the retail and wholesale lumber dealers who will be afiected by this change, many others are involved such as Architects, Engineers, Contractors, etc. They, too, have a strong voice in approving or vetoing the proposals, as they are all represented on the American Lumber Standards Committee.

Accordingly, everyone within the lumber industry as well as those who use and specify its products are urged to write Mr. J. H. Carr, Secretary, ALSC, 2I3B P Street, N.W., Washington 7, D. C.

You can readilY see why this toy division was based on the idea and I quote from your article, "Wood Is Good in ToYs for Toddlers."

Wq la!9r _poll_ tbil toy business,twrd fte bqyer''was responsible for organizing the Playskool group featured in your article.

I could.not resist the temptation to tell you about the origin, and the fact that, as lumbermen, we championed and took the leadership in using wood for toys.

Revised Requirements

The FHA, basing its decision on research by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, has relaxed its requirements on plywood panels used as roof sheathing for exposed soffits and ceilings under specified conditions.

Now. /2-inch thick panels may be used where ,l/s-inch panels were formerly required. Neil A. Connor, director of the FHA's Architectural Standards Division, has informed DFPA that the Washington office will advise field offices of this revision of a June hulletin (MPS No. l6) upon their request.

The conditions for use o1 r/r-inch panels are that plywood must be Douglas fir; that nails will be aluminum screw-thread. 20 rines to the inch and have a 3/B- or 7/I6inch head; and that they be precisely l3/16-inch long with l/16-inch point when used with 235-lb. shingles. Twice the usual number of nails will he provided uhen nailing through the second course. This application n'ill Le limited to roofs with a pitch of 4 in 12 or more.

The Penohy of LeodershiP

In every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live in the white light of puhlicity. Whether the leader' ship be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work.

In art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are always the same.

The reward i, *id"-rpl"ud ***Ur""; the punishmento fierce denial and detraction. When a man's work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious few. If his work be merely mediocre, he will be left severely alone-if he achieves a masterpiece, it will set a rnillion tongues a-wagging.

Jealousy does not nro,lua""ro ,".U"a tongue at the artist who producesacommonplace*paintin8. .,T

'Whatsoever you write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass or to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.

BY JACK DIONNE I

Long, long after a great work or a good work has been done, those ilho a"re disappiinted or envious continue to cry out that it cannot be done.

Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised agains! our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him its greatest artistic genius. Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worshif at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the littie group of those whom he had detJrroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all.

The little *orld "ot tiiu.u -,t nlo*rl tnut tr"lto,, could never build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see his boat steam bY. * * *

The leader is assailed because he is a leader, and the effort to equal him is merely TU.U*O-o*t of that leadership'

Failing to equal or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to i"rtroy--b,rt only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives ,o iuPPftr. * *

There is nothing new in this.

It is as old as the world and as old as the human passionsenvy, fear, greed, ambitt:" TU the desire to surpass.

Quoted from Winston Churchill's o'This Was Their Finest Hour'" ')Wh"t General Weygand called ''The Battle of France' is over'

I expect that the BaitL of Britain is about to begin. Up,on this battG depends the survival oi Christian civilization. On it depends our own British life and the long continuity of our institutions and our empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned upon us. Hitler knows that he will have to b.eik .rs in this island, or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free, and the life of the world may move forward into Lroad, sunlit uplands. Bu! if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, i.ncluding all that we have known and carJ for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age, made more sinister and perhaps more Protracted by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, a.rd so bear oursblves that, if the British Empire and its commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say, -'THIS WAS THEIR FINEST HOUR'.''

Monthly Lumber Focts

Output at Douglas fir sawmills through the first nine months is slightly ahead of the same period for 1961, but is 355 million

board feet behind 1960 and 772 million feet below the output in nine months'of 1959, the last full production year.

G. C. Edgett, executive vice president of West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said the corrosive efiect of mounting imports of Canadian lumber into U.S. markets was taking its toll of Dougl4s fir production. This drop.of three fourths of a billion feet of output since 1959 is about equal to the increased volume of Canadian lumber which British Columbia producers are selling in our mar' kets virtually duty free.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in Sep' tember was 157,917,000 b.f. or 99.4/o of the 1957-6I average' Orders averaged 148,680,000 b.f.; shipments 157,722,000 b.f.; weekly urn"."g.t for August were production 155,305,000 b.f., 97/o ol the 1957-61 average; orders 156,632,000 b.f.; shipments 161,696,000 b.{.

Nine months of the 1962 cumulative production 6,022,40I,000 b.f.; nine months of 1961, 5,942,182,000 b.f.; nine months of 1960, 6,378,699,000 b.f'; nine months of 1959, 6,794,956,N0 b.I.

Orders for nine months oI 1962 break down as follows: rail and truck 4,672,437,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 1,0O1,163,000 b.f.; export 257,402,000 b.f.; local 276,977,0000 b.f.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at M4,766,W0 b.f. at the end of Sep:ember, lumber inventory at 894,195,000 b.f'

Construciion to Set New Record in 1963

Construction, the country's largest fabricating industry, will set a new record in 1963 according to F. W. Dodge Corporation's construction news and marketing specralists.

The Dodge Construction Outlook for 1963 forecasts that total construction contracts in 1963 will amount to $43.4 billion, an increase of 5 percent over the estimated $41.3 billion for this year.

Dr. Gordon W. McKinley, vice president and chief economist of F. W. Dodge Corporation, said that he expects the U. S. economy to level ofr in the first quarter oI 1963, but to rise rapidly thereafter with national output totaling about $580 billion for the full year and exceeding $590 billion in the fourth quarter.

His optimisrn is based in part on an etcpected cut in taxes:

'oMost encouraging of all for the business outlook is the mounting realization that a priircipal cause of our slower growth, more frequent recessions, and less vigorous recoveries is the restrictive efiect of the U. S. personal and corporate tax structure. There is good hope that Congress will act early in 1963 to cut taxes across the board and then move toward a thorough revision of the tax structure."

The Dodge Outlook states that the standout category in the construction picture will be engineering construction, made up of public works and utilities. Public works will be spurred by the recent unfreeiing oI $I.9 billion in Federal-aid highway funds, the Emergency Public lVorks Act, and the huge omnibus public works bill enacted in the closing days of the 1962 Congress session. "Public works contracts are likely to rise late in 1962 and move ahead very rapidly next year. The total for'1963 wlll probably reach $9.3 billion, an incriase of l8 percent above 1962."

Utilities are expected to rise by 14 percent. The forecast notes that o'capital appropriation backlogs o{ gas and electric utilities are at an all-time high . Major work on the giant Colonial Pipeline will also get underway next year Reflecting the substantial increases in both public works and utilities, engineering construction contracts will probably climb to $11.9 billion in 1963, a thumping 17 percent gain over 1962."

Dodge anticipates a 5 percent rise in nonresidential building to a $13.7 billion total in 1963. Various building types within this category are expected to perform in quite diverse fashion, but an increase is predicted for all types except manufacturing. The forecast states that o'the decline in manufacturing contract awards will probably continue into the first quarter of 1963. Thereafter, however, this type of building should respond well both to the resurgence in general economic activity and to the expected reduction in corporate income tax rates. Although manufacturing contracts for 1963 are expected to fall about 4.5 percent below 1962, the trend during the last half of 1963 will be strongly upward."

Although Dodge predicts a small drop in residential building contracts in 1963, it denies that there has been overbuilding in this area. It points out that national vacancy rates have not risen at all during the past year and a half. The outlook statement predicts that one. and two-family house building in 1963 may equal the 1962 figure, with the decline in the overall residential figure being confined to the apartment category. Total farm and nonfarm housing starts are forecast at 1520,000 in 1963, .compared to an estimated 1,455,000 in 1962.

Summarizing the outlook, McKinley said that "the outlook for construction in 1963 is thus a good one. In the opening months of the year, because of the hesitancy in the economy as a whole, we rnust expect some weakness in a number of types of private construction. Public construction wil! be exceptionally strong, however, and this is one factor which makes a real downturn in general business activity unlikely. As the total economy begins to advance again in the second quarter of next year, corrctruction will once again move to the fore, and all building types will join in the general advance."

"Prevenlion of Dust Explosions in Woodworking ond Wood Flour Mqnufoctuiing Plonls"

A newly revised code for the prevention of dust explosions in woodworking and wood flour manufacturing plants has been issued by the National Fire Protection Association.

An important change incorporated in the 1962 revision is the deletion of a former requirement that hogs for scrap wood be isolated and provided with explosion venting. The deletion of this requirement is made possible by the fact that no dust explosions have occurred in these hogs.

Widely referred to as a guide to good practice, NFPA No. 664--"Code for the Prevention of Dust Explosions in Woodworking and Wood Flour Manufacturing plsnls"-11,'ss developed by the NFPA Committee on Dust Explosion Hazards.

A Timely Correction

OId Noah W'ebster, in addition to writing the dictionary that bears his name, was in all things a stickler for the correct use of words, and he never failed to call attention to their incorrect use, regardless of conditions or situation. This was well evidenced by the fact that one day his wife came home and found Noah kissine the good-looking parlor maid.

"Why, Noah, I'm surprised!" exclaimed his wife.

o'You are wrong, my dearr" said Noah. "YOU are AMAZED. I am surprised."
