Toward the close of the First World War Theodore Roosevelt, himself no mean literary performer, wrote a very beautiful tribute to France; words that bear repeating now in light of the horrifying predicament in which the once great France at present finds herself, an object of pity to the entire world. Teddy wrote:
"France embodies att oi tol"tl"." and of valor. Beauty is her hand-maiden, and strength her shield-bearer, the shining courage of her daughters has matched the dauntless courage of her sons. For three and a half terrible years she has walked high of heart through the valley of the shadow. Her body is in torture, but her forehead is alight with the beauty of the morning. Never in history has there been such a steadfast loyalty in the doing of dangerous duty, such devotion to country, such splendor of service and of sacrifice, and great shall be her reward FOR SHE HAS SAVED THE SOUL OF THE WORLD.''
Again, twenty-thre" ,"lrr*r"ir, ,.her body is again in torture," and this time, so is her soul. Verdun, it seems, was fought in vain. Beautiful and inspired words, those words of the first Roosevelt. "Great shall be her reward," he prophesied, and never was man more wrong than in that prediction. For her reward for courage and valor unsurtrlassed in history, is slavery to the pitiless Hun. And the shame and humiliation that has come to France rivals that of the angels who were driven from Fleaven in Milton's immortal story. France "saved the soul of the urorld" it seemed at the time. How fearful that the saving should have been so temporary.
Remember the great British statesman, Lord Beaconsfield, and the reply he once made in parliament when another member twitted him about being a Jew? He said: "Yes, I am a Jew. And in by-gone ages when your fathers' fathers were living in caves, clad in the skins of wild beasts, eating raw meat, and knowing no God, my fathers' fathers were living in the palaces of kings, clad in the royal purple, and giving thanks to the most high God on Mount Moriah."

We hear and read *"Jn Jt Jrr. a.r,g., of inflation. A speaker the other day was telling how inflation gets started. He told of a certain town in Oregon where the Indians on a near-by reservation make a living during the hucldeberry season by picking the berries and selling them from house to house in town. They pick the berries on Indian land and other public land, and of course, do the picking themselves. The fixed and accepted price for huckleberries all fall has been twenty-five cents a guart. All at once the copper-colored venders of huckleberries raised the price to fifty cents a quart.
A thrifty housewife fr"iainJrr"* price and wanted to find out from the ragged buck just how come. She said, "Aren't huclrleberries just as plentiful as usual?" He said they were. "Well, are they any harder to pick than they used to be?" He said they were about the same. "And it
doesn't cost you any more to raise them than it ever did; you get them free, don't you?" He admitted that such was the case. "Then," said the housewife, who felt she had him cornered, "Why do you want twice as much for your berries?t' "Because," said the Indian buck, "heap damn big war in Europe." And that explains lots of inflation besides that of huckleberries.
***
Mr. Ickes could have saved himself a lot of trouble if, when he imposed gasoline restrictions on the Eastern territory and the folks demanded to know why, he had simply quoted the words of the Oregon Indian, and replied: "I{eap damn big war in Europe."

The lumber industry and its customersparticularly that biggest recent buyer, the Government- have much reason to be thankful for the transportation situation that has prevailed during the past year while the emergency has been on. During the First World War the industry was continually plagued by the difficulty of transporting lumber to point of use, due chiefy to the fact that all transportation was rail, and there was a tremendous car shortage. This time the rail situation is much better than it svas then, and in addition there have been literally tens of thousands of trucks hauling lumber from mill to market. There is not only more transportation, but it is so much faster. Rail transportation of lumber is three times as fast today as it was during 1917 and 1918, and truck transportation is like lightning. The Government builders of army camps and other great wooden units have found themselves enabled within not more than a few hours time in worlds of instances to get delivery of immediately needed lumber. Many a job has been able to proceed in twelve hours that would not have had the lumber supplies in less than two or three weeks during the First World War. And it has sure helped the building contractors. They don't have to be as far-sighted as they used to be, since they can get their fill-ins in little more than no time at all. ***
And there is likewise the ability to get dry lumber quickly because of the dry kilning situation today. At least double the percentage of mill products are kiln dried today, as were kiln dried in 1917 and 1918. In the South practically all lumber today is kiln dried. And in the West kiln drying has climbed from the lowest possible percentage, to a point where the large majority of all rail shipped lumber goes through the dry kilns first. So lumber that formerly had to stand in the pile from two to six months to season, now goes through the kilns in from one to three days, and is ready for nailing up. Speed is the answer.

The second annual convention of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, held at Hotel Del Monte, Del Monte, Calif., on October 30, 31, and November 1, was well attended, with a registration of more than 275 including 75 ladies. The attendance included a number from various districts of Southern California.
There was an excellent attendance at all the sessions and many compliments were heard on the quality of the speakers on various interesting and topical subjects who were on the program.
The convention opened with a luncheon at noon on Thursday. President Ray Clotfelter welcomed the gathering, and Wilbur M. "Dick" Wilson, Willard Lumber & Supply Co., Fresno, toastmaster, introduced Dr. Frederick P. Woellner, professor and economic advisor of the IJniversity of California at Los Angeles, who delivered the keynote address on "Ten .Certainties f.or 194l-1942."
Dr. Woellner's keynote was "high hope," as against much pessism heard regarding the immediate and postwar future. ITe expressed his conviction that there will be no invasion of this country, no revolution, no dictatorship and no inflation in the United States; no collapse here after the war and no Axis world supremacy.
President Clotfelter presided at the business session that followed the luncheon.
Bernard B. Barber gave the reports of the secretary and treasurer. In his remarks following the reports he said that it w'as hoped that 100 new members will be added during the coming year through the activity of a field man; that there never was a time in the history of the industry when there was a greater opportunity for cooperation in business than there is at present, and that retail lumbermen can't afford to face the future unorganized.
The officers and board of directors of the Association were re-elected. The officers are Ray Clotfelter, W. R. Spalding Lumber Co., Visalia, Calif., president; F. Dean Prescott. Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, Calif., vice-president; I. E. Horton, South City Lumber & Supply Co., South San Francisco, Calif., treasurer.
Bernard B. Barber, Fresno, Calif., was elected secretary, and his ofifice was authorized by the board to take over the legal w.ork of the Association and to put a man in the field.

"The Power of Propaganda" was the title of an address by Dr. W. Ballentine Henley, president of the College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, Los Angeles.
D. C. McGinness, director, Federal Housing Administration, San Francisco, spoke on "Federal Housing and National Defense." He discussed the issuance of preference ratings for critical materials to builders of defense housing, and explained that the FHA acts as the representative of OPM in this matter.
Dr. J. Hugh Jackson, Dean of the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, gave a talk on "The Business Outlook" which helped his hearers to gain a clearer concept of the magnitude of the defense program, and the consequent inevitable dislocation of normal business.
Friday Afternoon
Robert Kimball, Sequoia Lumber Co., Visalia, Calif., presided.
John E. Canaday, public relations manager of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, Calif., addressed the convention on "Aviation and National Defense."
Carl Blackstock, Blackstock Lumber Co., Seattle, and president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, in his talk stressed the value to the individual retail lumber dealer of the work of the national association, which has saved the industry millions of dollars by its activities.
He recommended the Home magazine as the best medium for advertising the retailers' business at a cost of 4 or 5 cents a copy including rnailing.
"The Re-valuation of Democracy" was the subject of an address by Dr. Tully C. Knoles, president of the College of the Pacific, Stockton, Calif.

The story goes the rounds of a lady who stepped off the bus one morning on a crowded city corner, and as she did her eye was caught by the face of a man standing there. The man was tall and slim, and on his face there was such an expression of gloom and melancholy as she had seldom seen. Impulsively the kind hearted lady slipped a one dollar bill into the hand of the sad looking man as she went by,
and she whispered to him: "Never Despair!"
The next morning she got off the same bus at the same time on the same corner, and there stood the same melancholy looking man. And as she passed him he slipped eleven one dollar bills into her hand, and whispered:
"Never Despair won by seven lengths, and paid ten to one."

j t$/ood with its traditional adaptability makes possible that variation in design and application, which is the secret of individuality in homes. Beautiful Ponderosa Pine has won its desired place as the ideal wood for a great number of uses in home building. More and more architects and builders are turning to Ponderosa Pine to create beautiful exteriors.
This soft-textured wood has a straight, close, uniform grain. The Ponderosa Pine from the \$7'eyerhaeuser Klamath Falls mill is unexcelled in smoothness, appearance and uniformity. Here under one roof in the largest shed in the world, Ponderosa Pine is stored after being scientifically kiln dried. In storage it is never exposed to the elements from the time it leaves
Ponderosa Pine has a low shrinkage facror, which is practically 30% less than some of the heavier soft woods. It is one of the premier woods in its ability to sta! in place. Carpenters like it, because it is easy ro work with. It nails well, saws well, machines well and glues well. Its ability to take and hold paint also adds to the value of Ponderosa.
While Ponderosa has developed such unusual popularity for exteriors, its many other uses also contribute to its saleability and make it a fast moving volume item. To mention a few, it is excellent for subflooring, shearhing, roof boards, siding, window frames, srorm the log pond until it arrives at the yard of the Retail Lumber Dealer. Its well seasoned condition when shipped from Klamath Falls helps it to meet exacting conditions.

The impact on residential building of the SPAB policy curbing use of steel, copper, brass, bronze, and aluminum in nondefense construction projects will not be as severe as it first appeared, in the opinion of Northern and Southern California Homes Foundations. OPM has assured supply of materials to make possible the building of small homes in defense industry areas, and workers who are contributing their full strength to boosting production levels in our national drive for defense will find effective support in government policy when it comes to providing them with necessary and adequate shelter, according to the Foundations.
"No one realizes better than our government officials the desirability of maintaining and furthering good home conditions as a fundamental prerequisite to good working conditions," states Bernard B. Barber and Orrie W. Hamilton, Chairman of Northern and Southern California Homes Foundations. "The new SPAB policy will mean pinches here and there, it is true, but the building industry will do its part to meet the emergency. Homes may still be built; homes may still be repaired; homes may still be remodeled-everywhere.
"Two priorities tests will be applied on building projects--does the construction involve the use of appreciable quantities of critical materials, and is the construction directly necessary for national defense or clearly essential for the health and safety of the civilian population.
"Redesigning to permit the use of substitute materials can cut to a very minimum the critical metal materials which are used in small-home construction, and where substitutes can be made for critical materials, home building can go on, consistent with government policy and the needs of the families who are the backbone of our nation's defense efforts.
"Lurnber, the big item in small-home construction, is available, on a moderate price level. Retail lumber and building materials dealers as well as manufacturers are making every effort to provide adequate supplies."

This l4o-foot span timber truss pedestrian bridge was assembled on the roadway before being moved into place across the San Lorenzo river at Santa Cruz. Calif.
The builders, Summerbell Roof Structures at Oakland, Calif., believe this method of construction to be more economical and satisfactory than building a bridge of this type from scaffolding.
The bridge employs TECO timber connectors and Wolmanized pressure treated lumber. It is designed to carry a live load of 80 lbs. per square foot and has an 8-foot rvalk. Height at center is approximately 20 feet.
Eighteen thousand board feet of select structural Douglas fir S4S was used. The lumber was fabricated before being treated at the Weed, Calif., plant of the American Lumber & Treating Co.

San Francisco, Nov. 8. The Federal division of emergency shipping today asked eight steamship companies operating from Pacific ports to provide nine cargo carriers for special "defense" purposes, presumed to be special trips to and from the Orient.
Shipping circles here believe the freighters will be used to carry defense supplies and munitions to the Philippines. Washington dispatches indicated the vessels may be used to transport war cargoes to Russia by way of Vladivostok. President Roosevelt asked Lend-Lease Administrator Edward Stettinius Jr. to expedite plans to transport supplies to Russia "as quickly as possible."
Matson Navigation Co. was asked to provide two freighters for special trips before Jan. 1, 1942. The following companies were asked to turn over one ship each: American-Hawaiian Steamship Co., Weyerhaeuser Lines, Calmar, Luckenbach Lines, McCormick Steamship Co., Isthmian Line and Arrow Line.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 1, l94l-A number of amendments to price schedule No. 26, Douglas Fir Lumber, designed to fit the schedule better into established trade practices and requirements of the construction industry were announced today by Leon Henderson, administrator, Office of Price Administration.
The amendments fall in three groups. Under the first, an allowance of $3.50 per 1,000 board feet is permitted for retail sales to consumers and contractors when the following conditions are observed:
(1) The sale must be for less than 20,000 board feet.
(2) The lumber must be delivered to the job site or other point specified by the purchaser.
(3) The privilege of exchanging the goods and returning unused material must be extended to the purchaser.
(a) The seller must have the ability to replace deficiencies and adjust complaints from stocks on hand kept for that Purpose.
Effect of this will be to enable contractors to obtain services customarily given by retailers on shipments made direct from the mill u'here the lumber is produced to the job where it is used. Under the original ceiling no allowance was made such services. In a num,ber of cases specific interpretations were issued covering out-of-pocket costs for such services. The amendment supersedes such interpretations and in effect embodies them in the schedule itself.
Under the second group of changes a number of types of lumber omitted from the original schedule are brought in.
These include:
(1) Shop lumber from which doors and windows are made.
(2) A number of sizes of flooring and ceiling lumber.
(3) Minor adjustments were made in the ceiling prices for select merchantable and selecf structural timbers, 1"x4" and. I"xlA' boards, boards and timbers surfaced /q,, ofr, Yx3tt number 3 grade, and Number 1 boards and timbers permitting up to 15 percent Number 2 grade.
The third change in the schedule provides a new definition for a mixed car. The original schedule provided an allowance of $2 a 1,000 board feet for a "mixed car" of lumber because of the additional cost involved in loading. The
In a bulletin issued by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, distributed at the recent convention at Del Monte, Calif., Secretary B. B. (Bernie) Barber says in part:
"'War economy with its attendant priorities, shortages and transportation difficulties will demand keen, intelligent management on the part of all lumber yard operators.
"A survey of the present situation indicates that there are three large important markets that will be least afiected by these wartime problems and restrictions. In fact, the war economies will help to expand some parts of each of these three markets and we urge you to take advantage of these sales opportunities to their fullest extent.
"They are:
l. Low-cost housing . . . already the biggest field of demand. Low-cost housing has been given the "go signal,, by Washington and it is worthy of a real promotional effort. Housing Coordinator Palmer says . . 525,000 houses will be built in twelve months which began July first.
2. Essential repair and remodeling . the consensus of Washington opinion is that there will be no curtailment in making available essential repair and maintenance material and equipment. This field should be especially good due to neglect during depression years.
3. Farm buildittg Agriculture is an essential part of the National Defense Program. The development of this program will demand the increased construction of farm houses and utility buildings. Farm income is now the highest in many years and the farmer is in a position to build and improve his buildings."
definition of a mixed car in the schedule, however, was found to be too lax. This definition has now been revised by the setting up of specific classes of lumber and the provision that at least 1,000 feet each of four or more classes must be included to make the car qualify as "mixed". The classes established in the new definition are based solely on type of lumber rather than type, width, and thickness as in the old schedule.

A. Merriam Conner.P. W. (Bill) Chantland, Los Angeles, Southern California manager for Schafer Bros. Lumber & Shingle Co., was injured in an automobile accident when in the Northwest where he went to attend a sales conference at the company's head office in Aberdeen, Wash. The accident occurred when he and other members of the party were on their way to visit the company's logging operations. He received four fractured ribs and was confined to the hospital in Hoquiam for several days. He has returned to Los Angeles and is now convalescing at his home.
San Francisco, Nov. 6.-A move was under way today for lower railroad freight rates on iron and steel articles shipped to the Patific Coast.
Declaring that higher all-rail freight charges have increased the cost of shipping large quantities of steel needed on the Pacific coast defense purposes, the Office of Price Administration at Washington, D. C., and other government agencies have asked railroads to reduce rates to that area.
Prior to the emergency, it was pointed out, steel and iron was largely shipped from Atlantic to Pacific ports by water at relatively low rates. Ships that once handled this business are now mostly in foreign service, so shippers are using all-rail service almost exclusively.
The rates proposed would be graded downward from $1.15 per 100 pounds from the Atlantic seaboard to 75 cents per 10O pounds from Colorado shipping points to all Pacific Coast ports. They would apply to minimum carload weights of 80,000 pounds.
Present rates range from $1.43 per 100 pounds from Atlantic seaboard points to 85 cents per 100 pounds from Colorado with minimum carload weights of 40,000 pounds and 60,000 pounds, depending on the product. It was proposed to the railroads that the suggested rates and the existing rates be used alternatively, depending upon the minimum weight of the shipments per car.
The proposal as submitted, according to OPA, will actually enable the railroads to increase their minimum car-mile revenues on transcontinental iron and steel traffic because of the higher minimum carload weights on which the proposed rates would apply.
Foxworth-Killen Lumber Co., Benson, Ariz., is making extensive remodeling and enlargement improvements. When complete the hardware store will be housed in an entirely redecorated, enlarged, modern building. The new store will have a floor space of 34x,[0 feet, a front of two large plate glass windows, and new hardwood floors.
A new addition and remodeling of the old building will provide not only the modern large store but also two offices and a large storeroom.
In the passing of Frank Lounsberry this month, I lost a friend of thirty years' standing whom I will always remember for his outstanding personality and ability.
Few of those in the lumber business here, retail and wholesale, a generation ago when he was in his prime, still survive. He rvas one of the last of the pioneers.
Those were the days when Hollywood was just a residence district with not a single store on Hollywood Boulevard, the greater part of the residential building being between Vermont and Western Avenues. Wilshire Boulevard was just another dirt street. All lumber deliveries were made with wagons and teams-even as far as Hollywood, which was an all-day round trip.
"Dad" Lounsberry, as he was called by everyone, was a major factor in the industry. He was a great believer in remanufacturing and always had the necessary machinery in any yard he owned to work up any buys he made.
Born in Galena, Ohio, in 1857, he went West as a young man and for a number of years operated a retail yard at Boulder, Colorado. Walter Harris started to work for him when he was 18 vears old.
He moved to Los Angeles in lX)2. At that time, Carpenter & Biles had a small planing mill at Jefferson and Main Streets, Los Angeles, (that later became the Pacific Door and Sash Company, then the Pacific Sash and Door Company, and now the Pacific Wood Products Corporation) and a retail yard adjoining formerly operated by Rosell Bros. lfe invested in this yard and was manag'er for about a year.
In 1903 he decided that his son, George had better learn the lumber business, and on finding out that "Curt" Teagarden's father felt the same way about "Curt," they set them up in a yard of their own on Shorb Avenue in West Alhambra. This yard later was sold to Schacht Lumber Company and is now the Patten-Blinn yard. Alhambra, which they 66u"6 to West Main Street.
As he was never one to be idle, he looked around for a location for another yard, and as George and Curt got in too much lumber at o.ne time, he unloaded it in a vacant lot at Dth and San Pedro Streets, and that was the start of Lounsberry and Harris' present headquarters at that point. When he started the yard there in 1903, San Pedro Street was a foot deep with mud in the winter time, and
about equally deep rvith dust in the summer. The street ended there and the street car did not cross the "Air Line" tracks of what is now the P. E. West of the yard rvas a big peach orchard and South and East rvas all a grape vineyard, rvith a big winery belonging to Herman Boettcher. (The one story brick building still standing on the southeast corner of 32nd and San Pedro was part of the winery.)
Walter Harris came out from Boulder, Colorado, in 1904 on a vacation and when he saw how rushed they were, decided that he could never be satisfred in Boulder, went back, sold his yard and moved to Los Angeles. In June, 1905, George and Walter formed the partnership of Lounsberry and Harris and took over the Dth and San Pedro Street Yard.
About 1906-7, he established the Magnet Lumber Company at what is now 24th Street and Long Beach Boulevard, and took Curt Teagarden and Fred Lyons with him. lle soon branched out, put in another yard at Slauson and Alameda, selling this in 1910 to Fred Coleman (later of the West Adams Lumber Company), Bob Tait later owned this yard. About 1909, together with J. P. McCleery and Frank \Malworth, he started the Boyle Heights Lumber Company and sometime later opened the Laguna Lumber Company on Stephenson Avenue (now Whittier Boulevard).
About 1917, when the Pacific Lumber Company closed out their immense Redwood distributing yard at Wilmington (just west of the Consolidated Lumber Company), he bought the plant, consisting of the overhead monorail system and what was, probably at that time, the largest shed in Southern California, and wrecked the entire plant.
To handle this lumber, he put in the Handy Lumber Company at Wilmington which occupied him for a number of years. Later when this was wound up, he put in a yard on Tweedy Boulevard, South Gate, and was active there until a few years ago when declining health forced him to retire.
He saw Los Angeles grow from 150,000 population to a million and a half, and had no small part in the housing of all this increase.
A real lumberman, a loyal friend, an honest man, an outstanding personality, who will be remembered as long as there are lumbermen in Los Angeles.
Ye Olde Tymer.Washington, D. C., Nov. 3, 1941-The restriction against the use of copper sheet, strip and screen in building construction has been eased, it was announced today by the Division of Priorities.
Due to go into effect November 1, the restriction would have "frozen" stocks of already fabricated materials in the hands of manufacturers, distributors and consumers. Because of this, the restriction is revoked and copper sheet, strip and screening may be manufactured at a reduced rate and used until January l,1942, after which their manufacture is prohibited under the general terms of Copper Conservation Order M-9-c.
A number of changes, largely for clarification, were made in the Order by a series of amendments. They are:
1. Paragraph (b) which prohibits the use of copper sheet, strip and screen in building construction after November 1 is revoked and these articles are placed on List A of the Order, which curtails their manufacture until January 1, 1942, and prohibits their manufacture thereafter.
2. The words "and hospitals" are added after "research laboratories" in subparagraph (5) of the general exceptions so that hospitals may use copper where physical and chemical actions make the use of other materials impractical.
3. A new subparagraph (B) is added to the general exceptions to the Order. It reads: "For use for repairs or replacement purposes in plants employing chemical processes and in plants processing food where the existing installation is copper or copper alloy and where and to the extent that chemical action makes the use of any other material impractical."
4. Subparagraph (9) also is added to the exceptions, reading: "For insecticides and fungicides such as copper sulphates, exides and basic copper compounds." This exception specifically removes these insect-destroying compounds from the restrictions of the Order.
5. Manufacturers of articles not on List A, r,l'ere permitted to use substantially 70 per cent of the copper used by them in the manufacture of each such article in a 194O base period. Such a manufacturer is now permitted as an alternative to use "50 per cent of the total amount of copper or copper alloy respectively used by him in the manufacture of such article during the period between July 1 and Septem-
ber 30, L941," plus the amount of copper necessary to manufacture articles under the exceptions. This will assist a defense industry which is operating at a higher rate than in 1940, but still requires a drastic conservation in the use of copper.
By the amendment, a manufacturer who holds a blanket preference rating order of A-2 or higher (as distinguished from a preference rating certificate) is relieved from the curtailment provision which applies to all articles not on list A-insofar as he is manufacturing articles within the provisions of the blanket preference rating.
The purpose of this change is to assist manufacturers of machine tools and other vital defense products to obtain the necessary amount of copper for the production of these items.
6. The paragraph relating to the limitation of inventories is amended to include scrap.
Further amendments are changes in List A, which prohibits the use of copper in certain articles after January 1, 1942.
The prohibition on air conditioning equipment is amended as follows: "except for essential food storage and transportation and industrial processing rvhere the use of other material is impractical."
"Screening and Screens" are changed to "insect screens and screening."
Under the heading of plumbing and heating supplies, the phrase "convectors and local heaters" is changed to read "convectors, local and unit heaters (except heat controls)."
, "Fixture fittings," etc., is changed to read "pipe, tube, tubing and fittings therefor other than valves and faucets (except as provided in Defense Housing Critical List issued by the Director of Priorities September 12, 1941, and as the same may be amended.)"
In the field of household appliances, heaters are changed to "portable heaters" and an exception is made for heat controls on stoves and ranges. Table flatware, washing tubs and washing boilers are added to the prohibited list.
Rings and swivels are added to the excepted list in fire hose.
Ifnions, except seats and valves over 2-inch size, and seats, discs and stems also are added to the prohibited list.

Under the pre-planning policy adopted last spring by the Construction Division, Office of the Quartermaster General, 72 camp sites have been selected and approved. Four of these are now under construction. No announcement of intention to construct camps at the remaining 18 sites has been made. But engineering plans and layouts for all are fixed in order to be prepared, so that construction can be expedited should developments require additional troop housing.
The Construction Division has put into effect revised plans for cantonment buildings, and the Southern Pine Emergency Defense Committee has distributed to manufacturers two lumber lists showing the approximate amounts of sizes and lengths required by these new plans. One list is for the construction of an armored division camp for 757 officers and, 15,247 enlisted men. The other is for a triangular division camp for 700 officers and 17,485 enlisted men.
The Committee points out that the proportionate amount of 2x4-I6' has been reduced materially, while 2x4-18' has been greatly increased. This is because of the requirement for continuous studs in most of the nelv type buildings. There are decreases in 2x6-fr', 2xIA10' and 2xI0-2O', with corresponding increases in other lengths of 2x10 and in 2x12. The amount of boards listed is based on all of the sheathing being lumber and not substitute material.
For the armored division camps, the total requirement of framing, sheathing and miscellaneous lumber for each camp is 34,461,989 feet; and of structural grade and Lamella framing lumber, 655,824 feet; or an aggregate of 35,117,813 feet.
For each triangular division, the total required lumber aggregates 30,534,971 feet; of which 30,106,584 is framing and sheathing lumber, and 48,387 feet is framing structural grade.
Of the Z2 camp sites, 16 are designated as triangular units, thus embracing a total qf 488,559,536 feet. Five are armored division type, requiring a total of 175,589,065. The grand total lumber requirements amount to 6&,148,601 feet. An additional project included in the Z2 sites is for an anti-aircraft training center, for 15,000 men.
The estimated cost for each of the units is about $23,000,000, except for the anti-aircraft site which is $11,400,00O; the total estimated cost being $491,950,000.
The four camps under construction are as follows: Augusta, Ga., motorized triangular division; Neosho, Mo., triangular; Fort Smith, Ark., and Santa Maria, Calif., both armored divisions. The other 18 approved sites are as follows: Blackstone, Va. ; Columbus, Ind.; Medford, Ore.; Cookson Hills, Okla. ; Bastrop, Texas; Colorado Springs, Colo.; Corvallis, Ore.; Durham, N. C.; Marysville, Calif.; Morganfield, Ky.; Camp McCoy, Wisc.; Ozark, Ala.; Paris, Texas; and West Yellowstone, Mont., all triangular divisions; Clarksville, Tenn.; Waco, Texas; and Fort lluachuca, Ariz., all armored divisions; and Venice, Flgrida, anti-aircraft training center.
San Francisco, Nov. lO-More than 48,00O publicly financed homes for families of defense workers and enlisted personnel are either occupied or ready for occupancy, it was reported here this week by the Division of Defense Housing Coordination.
Total number of homes completed or being constructed under the program has reached 1O2,L82. Federal funds have been allotted for the construction o1 123,379 defense homes. FHA-inspected privately financed homes that have gone into construction since January,1941, total 185,530.

The Bridge Lumber Co. at Reedsport, Oregon, has begun operations with one of the finest sawmill plants in the Northwest. The mill was planned and built for economical and efficient operation.
The mill yard is something new to sawmills and is surfaced in its entirety. The yard has the appearance of an airport with its smooth black surface, and carrier and stacker operations will naturally be speeded up.
The neu' plant is located on Port Umpqua property.under a long-term lease and has a frontage on the Umpqua River of 500 feet. Rail facilities are provided by the Southern Pacific and the loading spur will accommodate eight cars.
The mill is electrically operated throughout and the logs are broken down by a round log 36-inch Swedish gang saw. The Swedish gangs differ from the square gangs in that the logs do not have to be squared before they can be sawed. It cuts the round log to predetermined lengtlis as it is fed through the saw in one operation. This sarv is neither a circular headrig or a band mill. It consists of several sau's approximately five feet in length, fixed to the top and bottom of the frame to cut the log to sizes. The saws are stationary and the widths of the cuts remain so for two-hour periods, when saws are changed because of dullness.
The balance of the equipment includes a ten-inch edger,
automatic trirnmer, band resaw, planer, and a live roll system and transfers.
The mill is expected to cut 75,000 feet each eight-hour shift and will employ about 75 men on its two-shift operations with another 75 or 80 woodsmen furnishing the logs. The log pond has a capacity of about three million feet of logs.
The burner is 60 feet in diameter at the base and reaches 104 feet to the top of the cinder protection screen. The dust collecting and blower system are of the latest design and an automatic sprinkler system has been installed.
The ofificers of the Bridge Lumber Co. are Edrvard Anderson, Olympia, Wash., president and director; Thomas I. Evans, Olympia, Wash., vice-president and director; C. A. Manschreck, Reedsport, Oregon, secretary-treasurer, director and manager; Karl Anderson, Olympia, Wash., and Ed Pratt, Woodland, Wash., directors.
The mechanical staff includes Victor Wickstrom, superintendent of construction; W. E. DeWitt, mill superintendent; Joe E, Anderson, yard foreman.
Roger Jayne is in charge of the sales.
The mill was designed by Carl S. Sundborn of Seattle. The mill building rvas built by Tom Lillebo, Reedsport, contractor.

Washington, Oct. 18.-Reader's Digest for October says that Stewart Holbrook was still a Vermont school boy r,vhen he got his first job in a lumber camp and took part in river drives. The Digest editor makes this remark as a foot note to Mr. Holbrook's interesting article on the Forest Products Laboratory-"Jhs World's Greatest Wood Magicians"-in the pocket magazine's October number.
Since his log-driving days, Mr. Holbrook has followecl the path of the lumberman across the Middle States from Maine to the far side of the Cascades, and has turned from lumberjack to the Nation's leading literary interpreter oI the lumberjack-new and old.
His latest book, published within the last month by the MacMillan Company, is "Tall Timber"-a natural history of the American lumberjack and his industry, prepared for school use as a sequel to "Holy Old Mackinaw"-a gsneral-circulation history published several years ago.
"Tall Timber" will make interesting reading for any lumber man . as well as the general public, which has already published all of the first editions, proving that there is much general interest in America's forests. The book is available at all book stores-($l.50) or can be obtained direct from MacMillan Company, New York City.
O. V. Wilson of Central Lumber Company, Stockton, recently returned from a 3o-day trip to the Pacific Northrvest and Alaska. He called on friends at Portland and Seattle and macle the Alaska trip on the Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Charlotte, the last voyage of the season. He visited Juneau, Sitka and Skagway and was interested in looking over various defense projects at Juneau and Sitka.
From Skagway he went inland for 100 miles by narro\\'gauge railroad to Carcross and from there took a lake boat trip on Lake West Taku Arm, spending two days and a night on the boat. This is a splendid side trip, according to Mr. Wilson. who recommends a visit to Alaska to those who want something different in the u'ay of a vacatiou.
