How Lumber l.rooks Portlancl, Oregon, October 30-A spectacular increase in shiprnent of West Coast lumber by lvater in the first nine months of 1950 undoubtedly saved the lumber industry from serious production curtailments as it took up the slack of the most severe freight car shortage in history. H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said water cargo of \\rest Coast

lumber to California and Atlantic Coast for the first nine

months of 1950 had jumped 951 million board feet over the same period last year. West Coast lumber shipped in domestic cargo through September 30 totaled 1,939 million board feet, con-rpared to 988

He said, however, some of these water shipments were made at considerable increased cost for some of the additional footage had to be trucked to coastal or Columbia river ports from inland and valley mills. The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in September was 234,330,000 b.f. or 142.8/o of the 1945-1949 average.

The story goes the rounds of the man who was asked how he enjoyed his home television set, and who replied: "We've enjoyed it so much we've bought a special screen for ours. The screen is six feet square, covered with-solid cloth, and we keep the screen IN FRONT of the television

set'"

A ma4 on the bus the other day made quite a hit with those around him when he told his companion: "We have a wonderful new type of television set at our house, and we are certainly enjoying it. It has no pctures at all. Just

The trouble with the movie industry, as I have often reOn an outside walf of tfretfipool Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana, there iS a bronze tablet placed there for posterity to read, on which are engraved the words that Abraham Lincoln spoke on that very spot back in 1861, when he was on his way to Washington to be inaugurated as President:

"I appeal to you to constantly bear in mind that not with politicians, not with Presidents, and not with office seekers, but with YOU is the question: Shall the Union and shall the liberties of this country be preserved to the latest generations?"

It would be well it .r,.Jy l,*"ri""n could have those words posted on his wall and engraved on his mind. If this nation is to survive it will not be because of office seekers, politicians, or Presidents, but because of YOU, and me, and all of us. * I offer the following as one of the funniest gags of the year: A sign in a cocktail bar reads: "If the faces on television are beginning to look good to you-you've had too much to drink." ,. * Sam Goldwyn, movie magnate, is credited with blaming television for the heavy decline in movie theatre attendance, and he said: "Why should people go out to see bad movies when they can stay at home and see bad television ?" >F*

Those who have given the matter thoughtful consideration generally agree that poor movies have made the inroads of poor television-with all its distortion of faces, figures, and sounds-a set-up. Of cburse television is a terrific thing, and will grow better mechanically with every day that passes. Up to this minute, however, it is pretty ragged stuff.

American is much like he always was, a worshipper of Horatio Alger, of Cinderella, of nice boy meets nice girl, of clean talk and clean living, of the triumph of right over wrong, of home, of country, of flag, of patriotism. Only the occasional movie fan likes the cruel, the savage, the dirty, the obscene, the neurotic, the degenerate, the sickening side of life; and no movies should be made to cater to that occasional human delinquent. The advice of that wise showman George M. Cohan, is just as good today as when he said it: "Always leave them laughing when you say goodby." Let the test of every moving picture be this: Does the audience leave the theatre feeling happier, better, nobler, more patriotic, more inspired than when it came in? If not, throw it out the window!' There's enough poverty, and cruelty, and sadness, and sin in the world without paying to see more of it at a theatre. Perhaps many of us will agree with the opinion of the meek and mild little man who sat in church on Sunday

morning listening to a preacher talk about the Sermon on the Mount. And when the minister solemnly quoted-"the meek shall inherit the earth-" Mr. Milquetoast jumped

wildly to his feet and yelled: "THE SHAPE IT'S IN NOW_WE DON'T WAN-T IT!"

Much has been printed about the mysterious manner in which large numbers of North Korean soldiers disappeared when the tide of battle turned against them in South Korea. One day there they were, and the next day-where were they? Some good humored wag figured it out. He said that all a North Korean soldier had to do in order to disappear in South Korea was to shuck off his uniform, throw his rifle in the river, put on a rice sack, and start whistling "Dixie" and saying "youall."

And that "you all" thing affords me the opportunity of Quoting a little scripture to show that the alleged Southern word, or words as the case may be, didn't come frgm Dixie at all but from the Bible. And from the pen of that master salesman and master penman, St. Paul. In the Epistle that Paul wrote to the Philippians, turn to chapter one, and in verse 4 you will find that he said: "Always in every prayer of mine for you all." Then in verse 7, same chapter, he writes: "Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all because I have you in my heart." And the very next verse, 8, says this: "For God is my record how greatly I long after you all."

i

So "you all"'didn't start in the South after all. That is, unless the Philippians were in the Southern part of St. Paul's territory. Guess I'll have to get out an old map and

One of the best belly-laughs that has come my way of late was the actual remark of a young man I know, one in uniform. He reported that his wife is about to have another baby, their fourth, and, he added with a good-natured grin: "We need another baby about as much as General Custer needed another fndian." * * And I want to share with my friends another remark that I actually heard the other day, one that delighted me so I have told it over perhaps a hundred times and given it a permanent place in my best scrapbook. This man has three husky young sons, just stair-steps, you can hardly tell from looking which is the oldest, and they are all healthy and full of. zip. Someone said to him-"f'll bet those boys are tough." The father said "Tough ! Listen ! Any one of those three boys CAN LICK THE OTHER TWO !" That philosophy B*ets*better with repetition.

The Dallas (Texas) News raised the question editoridly, if our first American colonists could have foreseen the New Deal, Queer Deal tax structure of todaS would they have come here at all? (The News always refers to the present Deal as. the Queer O."t.) * * And someone unknown to the writer, sends in the following very pointed verse: We don't know what the bankers say, But times are getting tighter, We got this from the garbage man, The cans are Ce:tin*g lighter.

The Barnett National Bank, of Jacksonville, Florida, recently ran an advertisement that attracted nation-wide notice, for it carried a moral that struck the thinking American with particular force. The ad told a Eost interesting story about great focks of sea gulls off St. Augustine, Florida, that are slowly but certainly starving to deat'h in thc midst of plenty. It seems that for generations thcse gulls have depended for their living entirely upon a big feet of shrimp boats, which threw them plentiful food from thcir shrimp nets. The gulls have long'since forgotten how to 6sh for themselves. Then tfie shrimp fleet moved away to other waters, leaving the gulls behind, entirely ignorant in an all-important matter-self-support. The advertisement draws this conclusion: * * "Now the gulls, the 6ne, free birds ttat almost symbolize liberty itself, are starving to death because they gave in to the 'something for nothing' lure ! They sacrificed their independence for a handout. A lot of people are tike that, too. They see nothing wrong in fishing delectable scraps from the tax nets of the United States Government'shrinp fleet.' But what will happen when the Government runs out of goods? What about our children for generations to come? Let's not be gulls! We Americans Eust preservc our talents of self-sufficiency, our genius for creating things for ourselves, our sense of thrift, and true love of indcpendence !"

* *

Is there a thought there, kind friends and gcntle peoplc? Remember, it is General Eisenhower--good thinker as well as good soldier-who is quoted as saying: "\i/e are flog-

ging to death the horse (capitalism) that has carried us closer to our goals than we have'ever bcen bcfore."

MacArthur's lnspired Address to President Syngman Rhee It is being often said that America is in need of one clear sure voice to inspire her people in these dark days. Those who so believe should read thoughtfully the address that General Douglas MacArthur delivered to Preside4t Syngman Rhee of Korea, when he turned the Capital City of South Korea back to him, and see if that great voice is not discoverable in that wonderful address. Said MacArthur: "By the grace of merciful Providence, our forces fighting under the standard of that greatest hope and inspiration of mankind, the United Nations, have liberated this ancient city of Korea. It has been freed from the despotism of Communistic rule and its citizens once more have the opportunity to live under that immutable concept of life which holds invincibly to the primacy of individual liberty and personal dignity. "The ravages of war which has been visited upon your land, Mr. President, by those forces of evil that seem to

"In behalf of the United Nations Command I am happy to restore to you, Mr. President, the seat of your government, that from it you rnay better fulfill your constitutional responsibilities. It is my fervent hope that beneficent Providence will give you and dl your public officials wisdom and strength to meet your perplexing problems in a spirit of benevolence and justice and that, from the travail of the past, there may emerge a new and hopeful dawn for the people of Korea. "In humble and devout manifestation of gratitude to Almighty God for bringing this decisive victory to our arms, I ask that all present rise and join me in reciting the Lord's Prayer: "'Our Father which art in Heaven, hdlowed bg thy nernc. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us o,ur trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom and the power and tfie glory forever and ever. Amen.'

lmproved Hyster Logging Arch Now Available

^\n in.rproved logging arch knou'n as the Nlodel 78 is norv available for use n.ith "Caterlrillar" D7 and D8 track-type

tractors, according to rvord from Philip Hill, general sales manager for the Hyster Companv at its main manufacturing plant in Portland, Oregon. The nerv arch has been materiall-r- reduced in rveight as compared to the older model rvhile retaining the same rugged construction and balanced characteristics of the preceding design. This nes' design permits the arcl'r to operate behind larger tractors rvith higher horsepos'er u'hen additional pull is required. The reduction in s'eight also steps up the speed and frequency of return trips over rougher, steeper slopes n'ith resulting higher production for the operator at lorver costs. Another advantage of the nerv logging tool is its increase of approximatelv one foot in roll height to the top oi the main roll. This added height allorvs bigger payloads per trip s'ith corresponding boosts in log production. The nes' arch is of the basic A-Frame t)'pe of design rvith box-type structural members. This construction perrnits maximum stabilitv and maneuverability. In addition it lends greater visibility for the oPerator rvhich results in increased safetv. speed and production. The arch is used in conjunction rvith a tractor-mounted rvinch. Logs rvitl.r pre-set chokers are rvinched to the arch, the butt ends are hoisted under the boom of the arch, and then the load is hauled to the tractor landing. The logging arch has been one of the most important factors contributing to the grorvth of modern selective logging methods rvhich make best use of forest resources. Additional details on specifications are available b1' rerluesting form number 1160 from the Hvster Company, Portland 8, Oregon.

Los Angeles Specialty Yard One Of Finest Of lts Typ" In The Country

The Brush Industrial Lumber Company, now in its 16th year, was established by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Brush. The yard is located at 5354 East Slauson Avenue, I-os Angeles 22, in the new East Side Industrial District, which is developing very rapidly. This district is serviced by three transcontinental railroads, through the Los Angeles Junction Railroad. In addition to being in the hub of industrials the yard has excellent trucking communication with all parts of Southern California, and also to the north, Slauson Avenue being a main truck artery.

This yard is one of the finest of-its type in the country, and this opinion has been confirmed by many eastern ancl middle western lumbermen who have visited it. The company is a wholesale distributor of industrial lumber, specializing in Idaho, Jeffrey, Ponderosa and Sugar pine, with allied species, fncense cedar, Red and White fir; also spruce, and foreign and domestic hardwoods. It carries an inventorv of between a half and one million feet in Idaho, Jeffrey, Ponderosa, and Sugar pine in all grades from I inch to 4 inches thick, running strong to factory and better grades, and heavl' to Sugar pine. At times its inventory in Sugar pine alone runs to half a million feet, buch of which is shipped all over the country as well as to all parts of Southern California. The stock of hardwoods runs from a half to one million feet. This includes alder, ash, basswood, beech, birch, cedar (Tennessee knotty), cherry, gums ; Appalachian, Japanese, and Southern oaks (Red and White) ; maple (soft and hard) ; pecan, poplar, magnolia, elm, hickory, Philippine mahogany, Genuine Honduras mahogany, White holly, walnut, and willou'. This is truly a specialty yard. For instance it often has the largest inventory of 1 inch to 4 inch cherry on the Pacific

Coast. This is the result of l0 years of promotion work in developing a market for that grand wood which our ancestors desired and used for their quality furniture. All the softwoods come into the yard Br€€n, direct from the mills, and are thoroughly air dried and properly graded by competent inspectors in accordance with Western Pine Association rules and practices. A monthly inventory is kept to insure well balanced stocks for industrial users. The yard has two llyster lift trucks for handling stock in the yard, and four trucks for delivery to the trade, which maintains prompt and efficient service.

The yard covers 5r/4 acres, all surfaced, with a railroad spur running down its center which has accommodation for unloading 15 cars at one time from both sides if necessary. The shed capacity is 1,250,(X[ feet, completely covered on all sides so that lumber for industrial uses can be kept dry and in good condition for immediate use, which is so essential in serving this class of trade. Jack Brush and l\{rs. Naomi K. Brush are co-owners of the business. They both have visited every known producing center, large and small, throughout the United States, Canada, and in some parts of Mexico, as well as Japan, the Philip pines, and some parts of the Malay Peninsula and the East Indies. They both admit they love the lumber game, in which they have spent 30 or more years. Jack admits that possibly he should quit norv, but he expects to keep on working. They take great pride in having a minimum of accidents in their operation, and in having excellent labor relations, resulting in a very efficient organization with an extremely small turnover in personnel. This latter is undoubtedly due to the. Brush policy of live and let live.

.erufl,,lt"/, eanezu' John A. Rudbach

J<.rhn A. Rudbach of the firm of John A. Rudbach & Co., mill representatives, I-os Angeles, was born in San Pedro, Calif. His father, Captain John C. Rudbach, was master of sailing vessels and steamers for many years. John went to sea for two years after he was graduated from high school. He sailed under the famed Captain Matt Peasley, hero of many Peter B. Kyne stories, on the \/igilant, the last sailing vessel that hauled lumber from Grays Harbor to Honolulu.

Siotttto Age not gurrantccd---Somc I havs told for 20 yqs--Sornc Lcrs

The lmmortal Jolson Everyone who ever knew him is now remembering and reciting things of interest concerning Al Jolson, King of Entertainers, who died recently and left a gaping hole in the entertainment world. Wonderful tales are told of his kindness, his generosity, his wit, his helpfulness. And, of course, his favorite funnies. During World War One he entertained the soldiers, and I recall one of the stories hb told the boys in uniform that never failed to.wow them. He told of the Top Sergeant who got into big trouble in a crap game. It seems he made a nine the hard way-THREE THREES.

One of the sweet stories hc told sn hirnself was about a certain broke and dependent friend who got his entire living from Al. He paid his rent, bought his food and clothes, and.gave him spending money. Al was fond of thc guy, so he didn't mind. Then one day Al lcarned from friends that this bum was golng around knocki.g Al for being stingy. Al said to the ungrateful onc: "Don't I buy your clothes, feed you, pay your rcnt, and givc you spcnding money? "Yeah," the guy said, "but don't you think a man wantr to lay up something for a rainy &y?"

Insulite Appoints New Field Supenrisor

A native of Minneapolis, Mr. Triplett served as an Ensign in the U. S. Merchant Marine during World War II. He first joined Insulite in 1944 assigned to the general offices at Minneapolis. In 1915, Triplett was appointed Insulite sales representative with headquarters at Omaha, Nebraska, rvhere his work won him his present appointnlent.

Raymond F. Triplett's promotion to field supervisor for Insulite building products on the West Coast is announced by M. C. Fairfield, sales manag'er, Insulite Division, Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company. Mr. Triplett will make his headquarters at San Francisco. He rvill supervise new Insulite territories currently being created in California and other Western States.

Insulite quality is constantly checked in a modern control laboratory and a re_ search laborato:-y conducts experiments with nerv and improved products. Mr. Fairfield concluded his ar-rnouncement l.ith this spe_ cial word to the dealers:

"It is with distinct pleasure tl.rat lve announce the appointment of Harbor Plywood Corporation of Southern California, 235 South Alameda Street, Los -{ngeles lZ, California, as a wholesale distributor for Insulite products. "We feel that Harbor's unique distribution policy em_ bodying established dealer sales outlets, together rvith this organization's successful record of merchandising perform_ ance, will be extremely valuable in serving you.

Recent conditions prevailing since the start of Korean hostilities, and those foltol,ving World War II, have made this truth clear to all of us. "We have decided to do something about inadequate supplies of fibre board products required by our crlstomers.

"fn5ull1s"-a familiar name in the structural insulation

board field-has progressed a long way during the past 36

years. It has grown from a by-product utilizing only screenings and other rvaste material left by the manufacture of paper to a full-fledged division of the Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company which keeps four machines operating 24 l-rours a day and seven days a lveek turning out ir-rsulation board at the rate of ll million feet a day.

In its early period, Insulite .ivas made on one small, ele-

mentary machine and the formed sheets \\'ere carried by hand in trays to a simple kiln for drying. The rvet board was cut into the desired lengths rvith a butcher knife and when the kiln had been filled u'ith the \Yet board, operations had tp be shut down for the drving process rvhich usually lasted lrom 12 to 14 hours. The Duluth Armory, built in 1915, rvas the first sizable use of "Ijniversal Insulite" as it u'as then called' Three years later, in October, 1918, more than trvo million feet of Insulite board went into the construction of temporary shelters for residents of the Northern l\Iinnesota area whose homes had been destroyed by forest fires. Some of these structures are still standing and in use. From these early beginnings, Insulite has grorvn in volume, diversity and quality of products until today it is the decond largest producer of structural insulation board in the country. Jobber-dealer distribution now covers most of the United States and is serviced by a rvell trained force of territory representatives' The Insulite sales staff is under the direction of M. C. Fairfield, rvho has been with the company sincfl 1935 and has served as sales manager for the past six yffars. ' The various kinds of Insulite products made are based on the demand and uses for which wood fibre products are best suited and the markets lvhere its sale can be developed. As a result, during the past 36 years, Insulite has developed structural products such as Bildrite Sheathing and LokJoint Lath rvhich are highly suitable for the home construction market. Bildriti with jts integral asphalt treatment has gained such a widi acceptance during recent years that today a number of competitors have endeavored to copy

strong, durable qualities similar to Bildrite, has also gained rvide usage. For exterior uses of Graylite, such as cabins, garages, etc., Insulite has developed a factory primed surface which permits the product to be painted easily. This product is called Primed Graylite and is made in one-half and three-fourths inch thicknesses. Early in 195O, additional products were introduced in the interior finish line for use in the growing repair and remodeling market. The use of colorful interior decorations in these fields has created a demand for factory-decorated interior boards. fn order to provide the most popular and efiective colors for their interior finish line, Insulite retained the services of Faber Birren and Co.' famous color consultant, w'ho selected a group of popular, sales-tested colors for the neN' products. Consumers also wanted interior boards that could be easily cleaned or repainted. These demands rvere met in the improved line of productsThe nerv products include Durolite plank in light green, ivory and variegated Noodtones, Lusterlite tileboard in white or iv61y s'hite, \\'evelite, an ivory white factorypainted interior board, and Smoothlite, a natural colored, factory finished board rvith a smooth surface. In the acoustical field, Insulite manufactures Acoustilite, three-fourths inch. and Fiberlite, one-half inch, factory painted, acoustical tileboard. Light, and easy to apply, these boards have gained a rvide acceptance. The travertine stone surface texture plus the fact that they can be

Tl-re Insulite interior finish line todav is used in the remodeling of homes, finishing attics and recreation rooms, remodeling of stores, restaurants, churches. offices, amusement halls and man-v other commercial and industrial types of buildings. Because the interior finish market for Insulite products and hardboard products is so closely felated. Insulite has for manv _r'ears sold a high quality line of hardboards manufactured b1' the Nlasonite Corporation. Thus an Insulite dealer is able to sell a complete line of interior finish products under one t'ell-knorvn tirand name-Insulite. Sirrce \\-orld \\-ar II. Insulite has encountered an increasing demand among its customers for a non-rigid form of insulation to supplement the rigid board line. To meet this demand and to further augment the line of products rvhich Insulite is distributing through the building trades, Insulite began selling Insulite Insulating \\-ool last 1'ear. .\r'ailing in blanket. batt and pouring s'ool forms. Insulite Instrlating \\-ool is fire resistant. rot and rodent proof. It takes one-third less storage space than other types of blanket insulations and is economicallt priced. \\-ith its mill in full production and its research staff continr.ralll' seekin.q to impror-e and supplenrent the present line. Insulite is keeping pace u'ith tlte current building trcncls and is pror-iding its distributors and dealers rvith a versatile. top-<lualitr-. conrpetitiveh' priced line of st:uctrrral insulatiorr lroards.

Scn Frcncisco Lumbermen's Club Members Hecn Ccl Crow San Francisco Lumbermen's Club members, 136 of them, turned out at their meeting October

24 to hear Carl Crorv. well knorvn editor of Cros"s \\Ieeklv Letter and Crorv's Pacific Coast Lumber Digest, speak on "Where Do We Go from llere." After his introduction by Dave Davis, Mr. Cron' outlined at some length the migration of West coast lumber production centers from the Puget Sound, Tacoma, and Gray's Harbor areas in 1925 to the present Linn, Lane and Douglas Counties, Oregon, center.

In discussing the present fir market Mr. Crow rvas not verv optimistic regarding green construction items. \\'ith the establishment of tight real estate credit restrictions by the government, he pointed out the undoubted forthcoming drop in demand could cause many of the marginal mills to close as the market adjusted to the new conditions. I\Ir. Crorv did little prognostication although he did say he anticipated little change in the kiln dried uppers market since kiln capacity in the North'rvest is less than it rvas 15 years ago.

President Fran Heron presided at the meeting.

New Plywood Unicel Refrigerator-Box Car

Overqll view ol Uaicel ccr

New York-Railroaders, shippers and the'general public had good reason to be impressed last month b;- the official unveiling of the revolutionary new Unicel plvu'ood-plastic combination refrigerator-box car developed by Pressed Steel Car Co. Impressive rvas the car itself and the Hollvu'ood-like splendor of its Park Avenue debut on the seldom-used private railroad siding of Nerv York's plush \\'aldorf-Astoria Hotel. Even more impressive rvere the facts marshalled by Pressed Steel Car Co., to substantiate its claim that the plvrvood Unicel car is the "first real improvement" in railroad car design in over half a centur)'. Far lighter and capable of carrying a bigger payload than conventional cars, the plywood Unicel is also actually stronger and capable of taking more punishment. In a dramatic series of tests held in Chicago by the Armour Research Institute, the Unicel car was "bump-tested" rvith an all-steel harnmer car. After collision speeds of up to over 12 miles per hour, the plywood car lvas completely unscathed.

Design-rvise, the nerv car employs a structural concept never before employed in railroad car building although one long used in the construction of aircraft. and some types of boats such as the rvar-famed P-T f6215-"511essed skin" construction. This same construction principle is basic to over half of the nation's prefabricated home builders, having been introduced to the home building industry in the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory 1936 plyrvood demonstration house.

The car is of "monocoque" or single-body. stressed-skin construction rvherein floor, walls and roof are figurativelv welded together into one, completely rigid unit structure. Plastic face Douglas fir plywood panels are glued to either side of lightweight framing memb.ers to form the inner and outer r,r'alls, floor and ceiling, i.e.. structural skin. The panels make the car completely rigid and act integrally with framing members in bearing u'eight and stresses, distributing these forces throughout the car. In contrast, the outer walls or siding of conventionallv built cars merelr' hangs as dead u'eight upon the individual framing members rvhich must bear loads and stresses. Inside width of the car is 9'-7'; inside height. l0'; inside length, 5A-6". Outside rvidth, lA-3"; outside height. 13'7". The car's volume is 4,556 cu. ft.

The plastic surfaced plys'ood panels used in the Unicel car are one of the newer products of the West Coast plywood industry. In adilition to offering u'eight ratio greater than that of structural steel, splitproofness and durability plastic face panels also have a smooth, hard, rvear-the resistant plastic face bonded under great heat and pressure to one side of the panel. The plastic surface, like the phenolic resin adhesives used to bond the individual plys, is completely unaffected by rvater or rveather. No nervcomer to the nations' rails, in the past 20 years Douglas fir plyrvood has been used in the building or rebuilding of over lm,0o0 refrigerator cars, box cars. mail cars and cabooses. Highlights of plvrvood's use in railroad car building include the advanced type box car introduced in 1944 by Great Northern Raihvay Company. \\reighing trvo tons less than cars of other construction, these cars used plywood inside and out. Initially, GN constructed 1,0(X) cars and introduced "the most modern freight train" of 106 of the plvu'ood cars plus a modern all-plyrvood caboose. Since then, the firm has built additional thousands of the plywood cars.

Recently built plywood railroad cars include the 1250 plyrvood reefers built by Paci6c Car and Foundry, Renton, \\'ash., for Northern Pacific and Pacific Fruit Express. In these cars, plyrvood was used for interior lining, inner walls and bunkers. Other long-time plywood users among transcontinental lines include: Chicago, Milu'aukee, St. Paul and Pacific (since 1936); Union Pacific (since 1936) and Denver & Rio Grande (since 1939). Lines pioneered the use of plywood in refrigeration include: Morrell Refrigerator Line (since 1939) and Pacific Fruit Express (since l94l).

Plagued by current car shortages rvhich threaten to hamper florv of goods in the present semi-u'ar economy, shippers took cheer in the fact that the plyrvood cars can be built faster and easier than can conventional railroad cars, thus offering faster delivery of cars badly needed to haul military and civilian goods. Cost conscious railroaders were particularly interested in PSC's statement that the new cars are cheaper to operate and easier to keep clean, l'ith less damage to goods in transit. Because of sanitary interior rvitl'r rounded corners and smooth. flush interior door and floor construction. the nerv

plyn'ood car cannot pick up dirt easilv, can be rvashed do\\'n easill' and quickly. In addition, hinged steel floor racks in the refrigerator car make cleaning easier. I)an-rage reducing features of the car include ne\\', specially developed strapping braces u'hich fasten cargo securely to permanent, built-in tie dorvns. Another key feature of Unicel is the "lJnisorb" floating draft sill in rvhich a rubber sleeve is mounted to the car's end couplers and cushions ancl absorbs road sl.rocks reducing them until thev can safely be passed into the body of the car. Dependent upon lading, the car can be nsed either as a freight car or reefer. In the latter use. the refrigerator mechanism is por,vered by Diesel fuel enroute, br. electricitr' at siding and rvarehouses. After being shclu,n in Nerv York, Oct. 16 through 18. the demonstration box car is scheduled tr-r be shou'n in \\'ashington, D. C., Oct.31 through Nor'. l. at the Uniolr Terminal. Announcement of other cities in u'hich the car l'ill be displal'ed has not yet been made.

Milpak Grade Adopted by National Hardwood Lumber Association \\rashington, D. C.-The National Hardn'ood Lumber Association formally adopted the I\Iilpak grade at its annual convention in Cincinnati on September 27th. Previously approved by the Association's inspection rules committee, the new grade l'ill appear in the 1951 eclition of the hardu'ood grade rules booklet. This action culminates an important part of the researclt program rvhich Timber Engineering Companv has been conducting for the Hardrvood Research Committee of National Lumber l\{anufacturers Association. With the grolving percentage of lorv grade lumber becoming more self-evident throughout the hardwood territory, lumbermen are turning their attention to u'ays and nleans for increasing the sales revenue from such stock. "Nothing that has been proposed so far," as one spokesmarr expressed it, "holds greater promise of success than I\Iilpak." Timber Engineering Company has completed the basic research on Milpak and is now activelv engaged in training plant personnel in the methods developed b1' TECO for manufacturing the nerv product from lou' grade lumber.

Eu'ing, is one of the most punchful ne\\'spapers in the nation in its criticism of the Fair l)eal, or, the "Queer l)eal," as the editor of the Dallas (Texas) \en's. is accustomed to calling it.) "If an,vthing clearl-r' illustrates the fuzzl'-mindedness of the Gentlernen of \\'ashington s'ho have so much to say about each and everv one of us these da1's. it is the turmoil that has come through their policies. lack of policies. reversal of policies. and general confusion about housingresidential or otheru'ise. "First. the Gentlemen of \\-ashington rvere heck-bent for spending billions of dollars in tax monev to socialize housing congtruction through federal projects. Horr much monev has been rvasted in this field not even the }fad Hatter of Alice in \\-onderland could guess. But the s'hole \\-ashington philosophy rvas that onlv the government could do it. and that private enterprise s'as certain to fail-in the housing field. Everr-thing rvas done to force housing projects on the nation. "Non' the Gentlemen oi \\'ashington hold that if there is one activitv that should be cut, it is housing and construction. The man *'ho has srveated and toiled and earned an<l saved to get mone)' to build a home must forget his dreams unless it is just-a shack he plans to erect. Credit on lrousing must be made tougher."

lncense Cedar

sometimes found up to 150 feet high and 6 feet in diameter. They grorv intermingled rvith Ponderosa pine, Sugar pine, Douglas fir and \\rhite fir. Live trees of sas'timber size are subject to fungus attack rvhich causes cavities in the heartrvood but the fungus action ceases lvhen the trees are felled so that the lumber is not thereafter imperiled. Knorvn as pecky cedar, the lumber is used for unusual decorative effects in siding, paneling and woodrvork. 'fncense cedar is manufactured into lumber, pencil stock and posts. The lumber is used for a variety of building purposes such as framing and finish and for fencing, Venetian blinds, toy stock and many specialty products. Its decal'-sss;51ance, light rveight and easy workability adapt it ideally to siding; much of it is manufactured into log cabin siding. High insulation'value and ready nailability suit it to sheathing and subflooring. Incense cedar is also produced in dimension lumber for studding, plates, fire stops, etc. For paneling and interior finish, the rich, brown-red color, small sound knots and graceful grain combine to make the wood extremely popular. High dimensional stability and excellent insulation quality lurnish additional features.

Incense cedar lumber, produced from a forest tree found

in California, southern Oregon and western Nevada, is one of the most durable and decay-resistant of native American woods.

The Forest Products Laboratory classes it rvith rvoods rvhich hold paint longest and suffer least rvhen protection against u'eathering is inadequate. Second only to decay resistance is its high dimensional stability. Volumetric shrinkage rvhen dried from a green state dorvn to 12-15 per cent moisture content is only 3.8 per cent-close to the boftom of the 3.4-6.3 range of commerciallv important softwoods. Incense cedar is non-resinous. The saprvood is white or cream-colored and heartwood is light brou'n or light reddish-b,rown. Annual rings are moderatell' distinct and average from 20 to 30 per inch. Texture is fine and uniform with small, evenly-arranged cells. The rvood has a spicy odor characteristic of all the cedars and rveighs 24 pounds per cubic foot at 12 per cent moisture content, making it one of the lightest of all softwoods. Specific gravity is .37. With a very low "K" factor (thermal conductivity in British thermal units per hour), incense cedar is one of the finest rvood insulators. It is rated in the topmost of three groups in rvorkability with hand tools and machines smoothly and easily to even, satiny surfaces. It glues easily under virtually all gluing conditions, a property which fits it to pencil manufacture into which a substantial portion trf the annual production goes. Incense cedar trees are of handsome columnar or pyramidal form averaging 20 to 30 inches in diameter and from 75 to 110 feet in height although unusual specimens are

pecky cedar, manufactured from pieces containing small apertures rvhere the live tree had been attacked by parasite vegetation rvhich dies rvhen the tree is cut. Straightness of grain, softness and ease of rvhittling are responsible for the u'ide use of incense cedar in the manufacture of pencils. For farm uses, where so often decayproducing conditions are present, the wood is excellent for fence boards and posts, chicken houses, feed troughs and many other exterior purposes. It is widely utilized for garden summer houses, greenhouses, trellises, nursery flats, beach cabanas and small boat houses. fncense cedar is graded under current published grading rules of the lVestern Pihe Association. It is usually available in mixed cars together rvith an assortment of Western pines and associated woods.

New Book --"Forest Products" "Forest Products" is a nerv book by Nelson C. Brown, Professor of Forest Utilization at the New York State College of Forestry, Syracuse lJniversity, Syracuse, N. Y. Some of the important developments and influences covered in the book are relogging and salvage logging; chemical utilization such as wood alcohol, and sugar, plastics and rayon; manufacture and processing of veneers, pulp and paper products, densified wood and fiber boards; and profitable utilization of mill rvaste such as bark, sarvdust and shavings. Mr. Brown has rvorked with the U. S. Forest Service, has served rvith the United States Lumber Trade Commission in Europe, and has made an economic study of the lumber industry for the United States Tariff Commission.

such installations, is the reason rvhy the plytvood industry is sponsoring the special arvards competition."

To stimulate design and construction of added built-in conveniences in the ayerage American home, special au'ards for plynood built-in features are offered in the national l.rouse design competition being sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders. Architectural Forum and others. For the design of plvn'ood units such as storage partitions, cabinets and bars. $8,000 in special prizes u'ill be a'ivarded in addition to the $33,000 in prizes offered in the overall house design competition. Sponsor of the built-in features special au'ards competition is Douglas Fir Plywood Association, the trade promotion grotlp for the \\'est Coast plylr.ood industrv. : Intended to stimulate improvement of small house de'sign by bringing about a closer liaison betl'een architect and builder, the house design competitiorr is open to architects, designers, draftsmen and students s'ho are resiclents of the United States. Entrants to the oi'erall competition u'l.ro also submit designs for pl;-'rvood built-in fcatures are eligible for the plvu'ood special al'ards competition. The overall house design competition as rvell as the special au'ards con.rpetitions are approi'ed b1- the Americar.r Institute of Architects. In announcing the plvu'ood industrl''s participation in the overall competition as special as'arcls sl)onsor, O. Harrv Schrader, Jr., managing director of the plr-n'ottd association, explained the prime purpose of plvn'ood competition is to stimulatb,design and use of bui'it-in featrrres s'hich ' add livability and saleabilitv to small homes. As background, Schrader cited thc f;rct tl-rat the "practical and imaginative use of all types of built-in conveniences is a rnajor trend in contemporary small homes design. This is particularly true in small homes u'herein storage space is at a premium and room size necessarilv dictates a minimum of conventional furniture. This is not only a disagreeable situation from the standpoint of the home orvner, it is also a sales-disadvantage to the builder and a distinct challenge to the architect. ;. "The most obvious solution to the trvin problems of storage space a.nd furniture arrangement in small rooms," Schrader continued, "is the proper use of'equivalent space' in the form of storage partitions, cabinets, fixed furniture

Arvards for the pl1'rvood built-ins competition total

$8,C00, rvith a first prize of $2.500 and 13 other arvards ranging dos'n to l0 honorable mentions of $250 each. First prize in tl're overall NAHB-FORUI\I competition is $7,500,

rvith 32 regional and national arvards totaling $33,000. Au,ards for the pl-r'rvood built-ins competition rvill be made on a l>asis of excellence of design, function and salesappeal. In the house design competition, contestants rvill be judged on a basis of functional and esthetic effectiveness of designs submitted for a detached, three bedroom home, u'ith no garage or basement and a total floor area of 1.000 square feet or less. The house should be such that it can be sold at a reasonable profit for $8,000 to $11,00oexcluding cost of built-ins s'hich replace regular furniture. To enter the plvs'ood built-ins special arvards competition. entrants to the overall competition need submit onlv simple drau'ings-plus pertinent details-sufficient to portray the function and appearance of the plvrvood builtins. To enter the small house design contest. entrants must submit a floor plan of the house, several small elevations and such detail dras'ings as thev mav choose to nrake.

Closing date of the competition is Dec. 15, 1950. Complcte data on the competition including the conditions governing the competition and the arvards is contained rn the overall conrpetition program.

Tree Farm Acreage Passes 21 Million Mark

Shevlin-Mc(loud Lumber Co.

Washington, D. C.-The flnite{ States now has more than 2l million acres of privately owned forestland dedicated to continuing production of forest crops, according to American Forest Products Industries. Called Tree Farms, these woodlands are certified under the American Tree Farm System for meeting higir standards of forest manag'ement and production. Tree Farms are certified in 28 states r,vith New Hampshire slated to join the program early in October. September totals show 2,642 Tree Farms totaling 21,642269 acres of well managed timberland. Half a million acres are under management of the lJnion Bag & Paper Corporation were certified in Georgia in August.

Discovering A Friend

If trouble never happened, and sorrow never came' The only thing you'd know about Your neighbor, is his name. If all your days were bright and fair, And certain was your Place, You'd only know a fellow by The features of his face. Acquaintances upon this earth, Is all you'd ever own, If care had always passed you bY, And grief you'd never known.

Time was I used to nod at one Who lived across the way, I knew his name and he knew mine, We passed the time of day.

But nothing did he mean to me, And nothing I to him, Until one evening sotrow came, And all the world was grim.

I saw his face, I felt his hand, I knew he'd come to lend, The strength I needed, O so much, Right there I fo'und a friend. 'Tis not in sunshine friends arq made, But when our skies are gray, The splendid souls that men possess, Are never on display. We cannot tell what lies behind The hasty nod or smile, Nor what of worth will come of it In just a little while. We only know that when we face The cares that life does send, We realize the passer-by Has changed into a friend.

Honest Answer A new man in the ranks of the paratroopers, was being questioned by some admiring youngstirs. One of them said to him: "How long you been in training?" He said, "Two months."

The kid asked, "How many jumps have you made so far?" The trooper grinned.

"Not any, really," he said. "But I've bccn PUSHED OUT SEVENTEEN TIMES.''

fulqgqnicur oI Atons We are taught, many of us from our youth onwards, that competition is essential to the health and progress of tlc race. Or, as Herbert Spencer puts it, "socicty fourishes by the antagonism of its atoms."

But the obvious golden truth is that cooperatign is good and competition bad, and that socicty flourishes by the mutual aid of human beings. I say that is obvious, and so it is. And it is so well known that in dl great military or com-

mercial enterprises, individualism has to be subordinated to collective action. We do not believe that a house divided against itself shall stand: we believe that it shall fallWe know that a state, torn by intcrnal feuds and worn by faction fighting cannot hold its own against a unitcd people. We know that in a cricket or football team, a regimcnt a ship's crew, a school, the "antagonism of the atoms" would mean defeat and failure. \f,/e know tlat a socie$r compoocd of antagonistic atoms would not bc a society at dl, and could not exist as a society. We know ttat if mcn are to found and govern cities, to build bridges and make roads, to establish universities, to sail ships and sink mincs, and create educational systems and policies and religions, they must work together and not against one anothcr. Surely these things are as obvious as the fact that there could be no hive unless the bees worked as a colony and on the lines of mutual aid.-Robert Blatchford.

He Guessed

A waggish character.'on Broadway appeared one day with a face that looked as though it had encountered a battering ram going full speed ahead. Thinking he would, as most folks do, lie about how hc got it, his friend inquired just to give him a chance to use his imagination. Instead, he offered a frank and truthful expl,anation: "I got these black eyes playing my favorite game. I like to call people up in the small hours of the morning, and say to them-.Guess who?"' "Yes?" inquired his friend.

"Well," he said, trying to smile through the bruiscs. "This one DID."

Later that year he went to San Francisco to take the job of bookkeeper and cashier for the Wendling Lumber Company. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Myrtle L. Hills, and a son, Roy E. Hills, Jr., who is an executive with Wendling-Nathan Company. Mr. Hills was active in Community Chest rvork over a period of many years. He was a member of the San Francisco Golf & Country Club, and the Mento Golf & Country Club. Funeral services were held in San Francisco on November 3.
