Figures on the amount of l'ood treated and preservatives consumed in the Unitcd States in 1946, just released, show an increase of 10 per cent orrer the previous year. The quantity of r.vood treated in 7946 rvas about 3,700,000,000 board feet, an increase of more than 340,000,000 board feet over the 3,353,399,208 board feet treated in 1945. Statistics on the output oi treated rvood are compiled annually by the U.S. Forest Service in cooperation rvith the American \\/ood Preservers' Association, and in 1946 were based on reports received trom 236 treating plants in operation. Of these, 197 were commercial treating plants, 22 were railroad plants, and 17 were private plants operated principally by public utilities and mining companies.
Frorn 1915 to and iriclucling 1945, these figures \,vere prepared annually by It. K. Helphenstine, Jr., of the U.S. Forest Service, but follou ing his retirement from Government service in the past year this u'ork u'as ltlacecl nnder the direction of Henry Il. Steer of the same department. The gratitude and appreciation of the rvood-preserving inclustry are due Mr. Helphenstine for the care and accuracy u'ith which he compiled these figures for thirtv-one consecutive years from reports made by individual treating plants. It was a laborious task, rvell done, and one of real significance to rvood preservers, for only through reliable statistics of this natrtre could the grorvth of the industrv fror.n year to year be accuratelv measurecl bv those most interested in its progress.

It was said of Caesar that "he made a desolation. and called it peace." Looks like that powerful word might well apply to this fearful peace that has followed World War Two, doesn't it? * * ,r
Henry Ward Beecher was preaching about the proper way of treating your fellow man. He said: "Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them and their hearts be thrilled by them. Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up." That was not the school of thought that o,ur Ruseian friend Vishinsky graduated from, was it? I'm afraid, from his words and acts, that "the alabaster boxes" of his love and tenderness must be sealed up mighty tighr * *
Rating ever higher among the world's prophets is the late Henry Norman, who lo.pg ago spid: "When on the border of any country in Eurfue or fsia the sentries challenge-'Who goes there?' ttte ltts.1#r is always-'Russia'." Today the sentries of the entire'Vorld are kept continually busy asking-"\fl,rhq goes there?"-and the answer, regardless of location, is unchanged; t,;r still "Russia."
Perhaps my memory is faulty, and if I'm wrong please correct me, but I seem to recall that just a few years ago the most terrible mechanized army in all history invaded Russia and drove her back and still back in frightful distress. And I seem to remember that there came to Russia's aid a Westerh power that possessed great might. That Western power rushed in to place in the hands of the Russian defenders some twelve billion dollars worth of vital war aids'
Those aids consisted of ships, planes, tanks, trucks, guns, ammunition, food, fuel-everything the desperate Russians needed in their struggle for existence. That "imperialistic" power drained its reserves of timber, oil, and other precious things, and sent them rapidly to Russia. Could Russia, without that enormous amount of help, have been able to stop Hitler, do you think? No other power on earth possessed the help that Russia so desperately needed-and got. Looking back at those days it doesn't seem within the realms of possibility that the relations between Russia and the nation that went to her aid in time
of desperation- could O. **n;r, they are now.
Right now Congress prepares to meet to investigate two great emergencies that face this nation. One proposition is the high cost of living here at home; the other is what to do about helping the suffering people abroad, particularly in Western Europe. It seems to me that one single fundamental is back of our high living costs. There is entirely too much money in the hands and pockets of the American people, and that money pressure has created the considerable degree of inflation we now feel, and the far greater inflation that we are undbubtedly threatened with. You hear a lot of talk from individuals about the high cost of things, but so far as the public as a whole is concerned, it doesn't seem to care. People will rush in to pay fifty dollars for something they could buy not so long ago for fifteen, and wrestle with one another to see who' gets it. We have three times our prewar money supply, and money pressure is like a flood against a dam. Money pressure and government buying cause most of our present inflation.
The papers are filled with criticism of the way the Government is handling the price situation. It is easy to criticize, but hard to suggest better methods. The Government complains that on the wheat market the same wheat is sold seven or eight times with as many profits before anyone finally gets it in storage. The exchange boys reply that every time the market shows signs of sagging in price, the Government buyers step in and buy large quantities, bolstering the price situation. They have us lay off of eatirlg eggs when eggs are in such vo,lume that it is a safe bet millions of them now in storage will never be eaten. We kick about high prices of food, yet the Treasury keeps handing out millions in subsidy payments to keep food prices from slipping downward. It's all too deep for me. Now the Government is buying the tobacco that England embargoed, with the plain statement that it is to keep prices from lowering'
Now about helping Europe. That problem is a huge and completely uncharted sea on which we are endeavoring to sail with only a very small compass of actual information to guide us. While many officials have gone over there recently to see for themselves about the European situation, even the best of them see only a few of the trees without getting any idea what the forest is really like. But we have had a few men of sufficient capacity and sufEcient experience with actual conditions over there to be able to form valuable opinions, and on those men we must depend. We have no other choice.

Tr .DFPECTTVE August 15, 1947, al.l doors manufactured by member factories of the Fir Door Institute were placed under official F.D.I. inspectionto assure the highest possible degree of product quality and uniformity. At the same time, revised industry standards were adopted by Institute members, those changes including new dimension specifications.
With the start of inspection, based on F.D.I. standards, Douglas fir pre-fit stock doors are now manufactured: 1.28-inch less than net book height; 3/16-inch less than net book width.
These new sizes permit pre-fit stock doors to be installed without sawing, trimming, or planingsauing on-thejob time und reducing costs.
The offcial F.D.I. seal and grademark will be placed on every door coming under the Fir Door Institute inspection serviceand onlg on officially inspected doors.

Will Clayton, (Inder-Secretary of Stateuntil recently, is in my judgment the best fitted and equipped of all Americans to judge the European situation, and to say what should and could be done. Mr. Clayton, just returned from over there, says that the Marshall Plan is our only hope for saving Europe (and ourselves), and he is certain that that Plan can be made to work. He looks forward almost with enthusiasm to a future under the operation of that Plan. Personally I would rather have his opinion than that of any other human. He possesses high intelligence. high integrity, and he has had his nose right in that European feed-trough long enough and close enough to form inteltigent opinions. Therefore I'm for the Marshall Plan. and as quickly ;ls possible.
Mr. Clayton believes that incentive is the answer. Those nations over there must do their best to help themselves. and then we will work with them. It's a tough road with lots of rocks and pitfalls as Mr. Clayton admits. But there is no easy road, and to him this one looks passable.
I would only add the opinion that every man f hear seems to be agreed on; let us not lend a hand or a dollar to help any man who isn't trying his best to help himself. Lots of smart men think that European labor hasn't really worked in decades past, and that it is going to be a tough job to make them do so.
I fear England is our worst problem. They are NOT working long or hard enough in England, and there is little indication that they intend to do so. The Socialist government has made a complete and abject failure of all its economic efforts up to date. Yet in spite of that fact, they announce that more and more industry will be nationalized. Looks bad. This nation generally wants to save England. But unless English production of coal, etc., increases sharply, helping n*.t ltt]* be orrr toughest problem.
If we DO decide to try the Marshall Plan, let us do it with our eyes and minds open to the facts. A lot of dust is being thrown into our eyes about how it can be done with no particular shock to our national economy. The man who says so is either very unwise, or very untruthful. If we ship abroad all the things needed over there, you can be dead certain of these facts: it will raise prices here at home; it will keep taxes high for an indefinite time; it will require sacrifices from all our people. We must make our decision on this momentous matter. but we must understand what we are doing, and what it entails. If we are to be our brother's keeper to the extent proposed by the Marshall Plan, it won't be easy, and it won't be cheap. We will be giving until it hurts, and don't doubt it for a moment. We will be doing it in spite of these facts, because there seems no other way,
The editorial in the Vags of September first about the timber growing experience of the Menominee tribe of Indians in Wisconsin, brought lots of interesting returns. Perhaps the most important was the fact that the United
States Forest Service in its clipping sheet No. 134 reproduced that editorial in a big way, even reproducing the "Vagabond Editorial" heading. Thanks.
Don't say "there's nothing new under the sun," even though that old piece of philosophy has withstood the trials of generations. There is always something new bobbing up, and that is particularly true of the modern lumber business. Just looked through a very interesting issue of the Canada Lumberman, a fine Canadian trade journal, and found something that was entirely new to me, and I've been studying this lumber business for quite some time. The new idea is grading and classifying lumber in the log before it even goes to the mill, instead of the usual method of grading and classifying the lumber afterwards. Of course these people do that too, but they simplify and improve the system by grading the logs first.
The Alaska Pine Company, at New Westminster, British Columbia, is the user and originator of the system. It has a very large mill and a log pond of huge capacity, that being necessary for this operation. By means of long lines of log booms heading up to the tail of the sawrnill, they lay out eight separate pockets, and their logs are separated for grade, character, size, etc., and segregated in these booms. Only logs of the'same size and grade are pocketed together. Then the mill runs on only one grade and size of logs at a time. A picture in the Canada Lumberman shows how cleverly and interestingly this is done. They claim this separation of size and grade greatly facilitates their effort to get the greatest possible usefulness out of .each log they cut. As the log goes through the .sawmill, through band mills, gangs, resaws, edgers, and trimmers, skilled men continually grade the product and cut it for maximum usefulness and highest grade. Starting with logs of the same approximate size and grade, this selectivity is greatly facilitated. To the writer, this is entirely new, and decidedly interesting. And the Alaska Pine Company claims it pays in direct profits.
And in another c"rr"ailn ;i.t journal I found a description of a new type sawmill just starting operdion in British Columbia that is probably the champion labor-saving sawmill. This lumber mill is so highly mechanized that 6nly one man, thi sawyer, operates the whole front end of the mill, including the log deck, the "nigger," all the carriage operations such as dogging and setting, in addition to manipulating the carriage. There are no men on the log deck or the carriage. The entire mill is electrically operated, and from his regular location, the sawyer operates the whole works. All the controls are at his finger tips.
A six wire trolley over the carriage carries the power for dogging, setting, and receding. Most of this new equipment was designed and perfected by the personnel of the mill company. The headrig is a circular. The mill cuts about 45,000 feet of lumber in 8 hours, with just the one nuln on the saw and carriage end of the plant. The mill was built and operated by a veteran concern, the Robert McNair Shingle Company, and is located at Port Moody,

Art Benson, lumberman of Snoqualmie Falls, Washington, is a modern day philosopher. He says it is easier to save money now than ever before; during the war you could go without a pound of steak and a pound of butter and save 85 cents, but now you can go without them and save two dollars. He thinks the Government should print more two dollar bills so that a man could buy a dollar's worth of something without breaking a five. And he is grateful that his old car is still in good condition; everything about it makes " "oj".; except the horn.
Mr. Benson's idea of saving money by going without things, is rather intriguing. Carry the same thought further, and it gets more so. For instance, a few years back you could go without a new pair of shoes and save eight dollars. Today you could go without that same pair of shoes and save twenty dollars. You could go without a new Ford and save nine hundred dollars. Today you can go without a new Ford and-(if the car you go without is on a used car lot) you can save around twenty-five hundred dollars. The possibilities are unlimited. Perhaps I'd better stop before someone starts figuring how much a man can save by going without lumber.
Reminds me of the time years back when the Government was paying farmers and other producers not to produce, in order to help the price situation. Someone asked my old friend Frank Bonner if h-- would be willing to enter into a contract with the Government not to make lumber at a fat price per thousand. He said he not only would be willing to do it, but he would go farther and make it retroactive for many years back, jf;"a*,o show his cooperation.
Perhaps I'd better quit before I completely lose control of this economic discussion.

(Editor's Note-Many years ago I listened to an address by a Christian missionary just returned from a long stay in India, and the following portion of his remarks made a great impression on 'me.)
I had heard this serious looking, dignified Hindu mention the name of God several times, and I had a strong desire to ask him his idea of God. I refrained for some time, thinking it might be embarrassing to ask a heathen about God. I know it would embarrass the average American to ask him that question, and how much more it would likely embarrass this heathen.
But one day I plucked up my courage, and when I heard him mention God-in most reverent fashion-I asked him if he could and would tell me his idea of who and what God is. He replied: "Why surely, my friend, I will be glad to tell you. It is so simple, when you really understand God, to explain about him. I will tell you just as my father told me.
"When I was a boy of ten, my father took me out one day into the Garden. It was a wonderful day in spring. The sun was shining. The sky was blue and clear. The air was filled with the song of birds, and everywhere nature was smiling. The grass and fowers and shrubs were wonderful in their spring garments, the perfume of the flowers was everywhere, and everything was delightful to the eye, the ear, and all the senses.
"And my father said to me: 'Son, I've brought you out here to tell you about God, for it is time that you knew and understood Him. Now, son, when you see all these beautiful trees, and flowers, and other delightful growing and blooming things of the world, and all the other good and beautiful things that surround you and delight your heart and mind, always remember this, my son; that God made all these good and beautiful things. He MADE all the good and beautiful things; He is In all these good and beautiful things; He is OF all these good and beautiful things; God IS all that is good and beautiful.
"'And, son, when you hear the music of the songs of birds, and the rustle of the wind in the trees, and the song of the brook, and all the harmonious and wonderful things that surround you in life, remember this: that God made all that harmony. He MADE all harmony i He is IN all harmony; He is OF all harmony, my son.
"'And, son, when you see this wonderful light that illu,mines the world, making all living things to grow, and all beautiful and harmonious things to live, and making it possible for us to see and enjoy all these wonderful things of the world, remember this, my son: that God made the light. God MADE the light; He is IN the light; He is OF the light; He IS the light, my sen.
" 'Ahd, son, remember this: that as you go through life your duty is simply to remember that you must never DO anything, or SAY anything, or THINK anything that will mar the GOODNESS and the BEAUTY and the HARMONY and the LIGHT that God made. and that God IS."'
Everything's quickly returning to normal; Salesmen are calling again at the door, Children are sending in box tops and labels, Trade-ins appear in the ads once more. Penny sales emerge from the limbo, Two-pants sriits are a 10 to 1 bet; Credit is easing and selling is brisker, Soon we'll be comfortably back into debt.
-Merle Beynon.The death angel smote Alexander McGlue, And gave him protracted repose, He wore a checked shirt and a number nine shoe, And he had a pink wart on his nose. No doubt he is happier dwelling in space, Over there on the evergreen shore, His friends are informed that his funeral takes place Precisely at quarter-past four.
-Max Adeler.One of the toughest football stars of the East went West to spend the summer on a big ranch. The cowboys of the neighborhood, having heard of the fame of this player, asked him to teach them the game. So he lined up a couple of husky elevens, and explained to them the first rudiments of the game. Said he:
"Mind, men, if you can't kick the ball, kick one of your opponents. Now, let's get on with the game. Where is the ball ?"
"O, to hell with the ball," said a big cowboy, "let's get on with the game."
The two lumber grading bureaus serving the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington are spending more than $2,50O,000 annually to ensure accurate grading o{ lumber from this ared, according to a joint announcement made by bureau executives.
It was also disclosed that mills producing 90 per cent of the region's lumber are members of these grading organizations-a record high for the industry-while grading inspection service is available for the remaining 10 per cent.
The two organizations serving the area on an independent basis are the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection and the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau. Together they employ 694 supervisors and inspectors, and have a combined payroll of more than $2,5@,000.
(Lumber is graded according to its suitability for the numberless uses for which it is designed. Virtually all Iumber buying and selling is done on the basis of grades.)
"Grades rvhich identify Pacific Northwest lumber are recognized throughout the nation and around the world," said the statement released by the two bureaus. "They are the foundation upon which the lumber commerce of this region rests.
"It is significant that the Douglas fir industry is spending more than two million dollars a year to insure the reliability and acceptance of its product. Accurate and dependable grading of lumber is becoming more and more
important in all fields of construction."
The volume of lumber now receiving grading supervision in the Douglas fir region, the statement said, has increased more than 25 per cent since pre-war years. Supervisors are maintained in California, the Middle W"rt nnd in the East to guarantee maintenance of manufacturing standards from producer to consumer.
Willis F. Biederman, vice president of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, Inc., died at his home in Lombard, Illinois on November 5, I9+7, after a long illness. He rvas in his seventy-second year. Mr. Biederman u'as widely knou'n to several generations of lumbermen.
After many years of association r,vith the Lumbermen's Blue Book, he became vice president of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, Inc., (The Red Book) on April l, 1929, and for many years he .ivas one of the best known and best liked figures in the industry. N'Iany who never met him personally r.vill remember him for the steel-like precision of his signature.
Always a student, he rvas a leader in all of the important developments in credit reporting agency rvork during the past 5O years. At the time of l-ris death, Mr. Biederman was the oldest living ex-mayor of Webster Grove, Missouri and one of the oldest living members of 'Hoo-Hoo' in rvhich he remained active until his death.

A Ready Reckoner Table, revised to include tl-re 10 per cent freight rate increase authorized by the Iuterstate Commerce Commission effective October 13, has been published by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and is norv available.
The Table computes the changes in dollars per thousand feet, board measure, for various weights of lumber from 400 to 3500 pounds, at the principal markets of the United States. In the Table figures, the 1O per cent increase is added as a surcharge to the freight bill.
To make it easy to compute the present freight rates, the basic West Coast Freight Rate Book has been supplemented to reflect the exact increases in rates resulting from the 10 per cent rise.
The West Coast Lumbermen's Association also has published a freight rate map showing increased rates to the principal market areas.
The Ready Reckoner Table is available at a cost of l0 cents. Cost of the map is 25 cepts. Cost of the Freight Rate Book is $60 annually, with individual states available at from $1.50 to $3.50. Copies of any of the foregoing may be obtained by writing the Traffic Department, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.
