The Prayer of La Hire: ,,Sir God, I pray you to do to La Hire as La Hire would do to you if You were La Hire, and La Hire were God."

(From "Maxims and Reflections of Winston S. Churchill.")

The great Britisher n"" O*" lfr.orrgt some tough spots in his amazing career, but it is doubtful if he ever needed to use the above "Prayer of La Hire', in his own behalf, substituting his own name as the principal of the prayer, any more than he does today. I'll wager he has growled that prayer deep in his soul many a time since the recent election that made him Prime Minister again.

*t<*

And if that brave and loyal man can use the indorse_ ment of one of his greatest admirers in making his plea to the throne above, I'd be glad to lend him mine. In the mad world in which we are living the success of one of its most worthy children in a desperate engagement against clouds of super darkness is of prime importance to each right thinking man wherever located. Every one of us, and our children, and our children's children, have a vital stake in Churchill's present drive to save Britain. A world without Britain would be a mighty sickly world to every American. Socialist Britain seemed more of a drag than an asset. But the sun shines again over there. Let r. pr"y.

*t<,k

And we here in this favored land might do well to adopt "The Prayer of La l{ire" for ourselves. Never was there a land that needed prayers for guidance more than we do. "We need an awakening of the serious-minded among us to the situation in which we find ourselves,', writes Lynn Landrum in the Dallas News. And he continues: ***

"Profound sacrifices are ahead of us. It is touch-and_go whether freedom can hold its ground. Freedom has lost ground in the world since 1945. fn some ways we here in free America are less free than we ever were before. yet it is not the rights of freedom that should have our first thought now. The DUTIES of freedom have been too little stressed. Every free man owes a duty to defend the blessings which are his. Every free man owes an obliga_ tion to any man and to every man who struggles up today out of the bonds of oppression toward the redeeming light of liberty. If you are free, every slave is your brotheiin chains." ***

Robert Sherwood writes: .,The only defenses are still here behind the forehead . in the mind War begins in the minds of men, and it must end in the minds

of men . . where God has put a light to guide them and where there is such a lttl, .; . there shall be no night.,'

November, 1951, has opened a new chap.tir in the history of federal taxation. It is the month in which the ever increasing federal tax bite will be felt more keenly by more people than ever before in history. The third huge federal tax increase since the Korean conflict started, became effective November first. Senator George, of Georgia, Chairman of the Senate taxation committee and generally considered the highest tax authority in either house of Congress, has said that this is the last federal tax increase he will agree with or assist in. ffe remarked that it was time to stop bleeding the people, and start bleeding the gov- ernment'

What will be the results of this invasion of the higher realms of taxation into our national economic life? Will the shock be stunning, or can we ride with the punch as we have the last two tax boosts? No one knows. And that means no one. Such things can only be learned by experi_ ence, and only experience will tell us whether or not our economy is stout enough to take this last deduct from our incomes without hurt. Chief Justice Holmes said that ..the power to tax is the power to destroy." And that greatest of economists, Adam Smith, said that when taxes are raised too high they "invoke the law of diminishing return." We must wait and see ,,what shall the harvest be." We have no history to guide us in this vast inflationary era into which *. h"u.

*"r;u..

Workers now have less take-home pay in their envelopes. Many of the things they buy will cost more, and they will have less cash to pay for them. So pay will probably go up, and costs and prices will go with them. The increased taxes will pour huge additional tides of money into our national financial bloodstream, and this makes inflation. Correction -this IS inflation, since all reliable authorities agree that infation is simply an over-supply of money. Some alleged economists insist that raising taxes relieves the people of money which might otherwise be spent for consumer goods.

GOOD LLIM B tr R .,,ty'rrougb tr fftcicncy in M anufacture

When you are in the market for the "best buy" in lumber, look to the producer who can convert good logs into fine lumber most efficiently.

On that test, one famous line of lumber products stands out above all others' It is the one branded "$fleyerhaeuser 4-Square".

If you could follow the flow of lumber through a rJfleyerhaeuser rnill, you would see a series of sawing, sorting, kiln-drying and finishing operations demonstrating mass production at its best. Slow and costly hand operations have been virtually eliminated. Belts, rollers and conveyors, rail cars, cranes and straddle buggies move the lumber along swiftly. An amazingly efficient arrangement of every type of saw, trimmer, surfacer, shaper and mechanical device for manufacturing lumber. many designed by rWeyerhaeuser engineers get the.maximum footage of good, usable lumber from every log.

These great mills are ingenious in design and efficient in layout. And for every dollar invested in safer, more pleasant and efficient plants; in finer, faster saws; more efficient

conveyors, and more precise control equipment, Weyerhaeuser has been able to deliver better lumber value to the consumer.

To identify your business with good lumber, eficiently produced, use the power of the rJ/eyerhaeuser 4-Square brand name.

This, they thought, would reduce the demand and thus lower prices.

rt has been said ah"a ;"*lr" .'*r"" and good ,men,, who cling to that economic heresy. But if true, then those who are wise are not good, and those who are good are not wise. Each successive tax increase has promptly boosted the wage-price spiral upward. And while Washington appears to view the situation with equanimity, the insatiable appetite for money that never seems to slacken, causes natural anxiety among the people. How could it do else?

rf**

The law of diminishing returns has an apt illustration in the pay of t\nlo great baseball players. In 1931 Babe Ruth's salary was $8Q00O and he took home $69,000. In 1950 Ted Williams' salary was 9125,frX), and he took home $62,000. And the new tax bill will cut Williams'take-home pay much lower. Of course Williams will be able to eat even with his reduced take-home, but the same rule of deducts applies to the small as well as the large salaried people. Not only Ted Williams, Junior, but yOU.

Recently the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced officially that the cost of living has reached an all-time high. That announcement was a surprise to few folkE small folks especially. There are plenty of people who, returning from the market with ten dollars worth of eatables in a modest paper sack, would have guessed it was-NOT 1g6 per

cent over the 1935-39 levels-but several times that. But the announcement said it was only lg6 per cent. you call it the high cost of living, or high prices, or inflation; it makes no difference. It is caused by surplus quantities of money and bank credit available and the velocity of the circulation of these funis.

The Los Angeles Times editor explains infation very clearln when he writes: "Governments long ago caused inflation by debasing the currency. Then they found an easier way-turning out paper money on printing presses. Our own currency during the Revolutionary !Var, the French assignats of 1789', the Confederate currency of Civil War times, and the billions and trillions of German marks after World War One are typical examples. Today something like that is happening on a smaller scale. Our government decides to spend more and more billions. So it sells its bonds or other IOU's to the banks. The banks show deposits against which the government c:rn draw. The banks then sell the government IOU,s to the Federal Reserve Banlq which pays them by creating a credit on its books or by having more Federal Reserve notes printed. More money is poured into circulation.

"Most of the money supply is not in currency like dollar bills, but in bank deposits created by those dollar bills. Checks are drawn against those deposits and these checks daily are the same as hundreds of millions of dollar bills in circulation. Hence the money supply is measured by deposits plus currency outside of banks. fn December; 1939, this total was 64 billions of dollars. Right now it is almost three times that figure." *

The subject of money is confusing, A g. S. Congressman was recently quoted in the Congressional Record as saying that unless you are thoroughly confused it is plain that you do not understand the situation.

Western Pine Adds 414 Shop Grade, Redeftnes Moulding Rules

Portland, Ore.-The Western Pine association today announced publications of a grading rules supplement incorporating addition of a new 4/4 Factory iumber grade and redefining rules for grading standard mouldings.

The grading rule ,changes were made at the association's semi-annual meeting here in September. They were effective Oct. 1.

4/4 Shop has been separated into two grades-4/4 No. 1 Shop and 4/4 No.2 Shop. 4/4 No. 1 Shop may be 4 inches wide and wider (instead of 5 inches and wider) and eacir piece must contain 50 to 70 percent of cuttings described in the rules for 4/4 Factory lumber. Cuttings 4 inches wide or wider and 3 feet long or longer must grade C Select or better.

4/4 No. 2 Shop is to consist of Shop type pieces u'hich contain not less than 33-l/3 percent of cuttings of the size and quality permissible in 4/4 No. 1 Shop. Rules for 4/4 Factory Sele,ct (No. 3 Clear) remain the same.

Standard mouldings will permit such defects as are usable for both interior and exterior trim. Allorvable lengths remain the same. The change tvas made to eliminate confusion with larger defects in bevel siding,, to u'hich previous moulding rules were linked.

The association also reduced standard lengths of LarchDouglas Fir selects to 4 feet and longer with 3 piercent of 4-foot and S-foot lengths permitted.

Named Vice President

Edward J. Maroney, general sales manager, has been named vice president of United States Plywood Corporation.

Mr. Maroney's promotion climaxed 17 years'service with U. S. Plywood, which he joined in 1934. He was elected a director in 1938.

A veteran of World War II, Mr. Maroney served with the United States Navy for 27 months as a lieutenant in the Bureau of Aeronautics.

Supplements, of the same size as the association's Standard Grading Rules book, may be secured without charge from Western Pine association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.

The redn'ood panels are beautiful in appearance, and are splinterless. Largest use for the pl1'u.ood n'ill be as r.vall panels in homes, stores, and as backgrounds for windorv displays.

Shadorvood redr,vood plywood can be finished in natural color by the application of liquid canaubah wax, or stained and painted in any desired color.

One of the outstanding features of Shadowood redwood pl1"rvood is the fact that it is absolutely waterproof, and thus is adaptable for either interior or exterior use.

Shadowood is also available in Douglas fir plywood and in solid lumber, tongue and groove, random widths and lengths.

Both of these firms maintain a consultant service for suggestions as to the application and finishing of Shadon'ood.

A con.rplete line of mouldings is available in both redu'ood and Douglas fir.

Our First Korean \Var Story

The Second World War produced thousands of good stories.

World War One produced tens of thousands.

The Korean war has developed no such crop, probably because there is nothing funny about it. But here is one that seems to have *9.n,*"rl some good laughs:

They sent a squadron of American planes out to drop loads of propaganda leaflets and literature over some North Korean cities. fn about four hours all the members of the squadron had returned unharmed, except one. After several days passed he was given up for lost. And then, one day,

he casually flew in and landed his plane at the base, none the worse for wear. The pilot was met by his commander, who asked where he had been, and what he had been doing? The pilot replied:

"I've been on my mission."

"Your mission !" said the commander. "Why the rest of your squadron dropped their literature and were back at base in four hours."

The mouth of the pilot opened wide in astonishment.

"OH ! DROPPED THEM !" he almost shouted. ,,I'VE BEEN STUFFING THEM UNDER THE DOORS !''

NRLDA Adopts Ten-Point Program jor lgsz

In addition to rejecting a proposal to introduce new lumber sizes for use in home building, the Board of Directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association at its annual meeting in Chicago last month (October) adopted a Ten-Point Program for 1952, approved the gradual preparation of a Handbook and Training Manual for dealers and their employees, and heard enthusiastic reports about several tvpes of Management Conferences being held by a number of State and Regional Associations.

At the well-attended neeting, all officers of the National were

re-elected to serve again in 1952, as follows : President, Clyde A. Fulton; Vice President, C. W. Gamble; Treasurer, Fred R. Stair; Executive Vice Pre:ident, H. R. Northup; Secretary, Edward H. Libbey.

District Executive Committeemen, analyzing the state of the industry, reported that sales generally have been good so far in 1951, that inventories are declining somewhat from the high levels reached earlier in the year, that materials are in fairly good supllv, except for some scattered shortages, and that a relatively good volume of business is in prospect for the coming year.

The budget for 1952, which is approximately the same as that adopted for the current year, was approved as presented by the Budget Committee. Treasurer Stair stated that the finances of the National are in sound condition, but pointed out that ihere are no large reserves with which to meet any special emergencies which might arise.

President Fulton praised the cooperation r,vhich the National has received from its officers, directors, committee members, and staff and said that the Association has been renderir-rg excellent service to its members in carrying the load of influencing and analyzing defense regulations on top of its normal programs. He stated that the retail lumber and building materials industry had come through the early stages of the emergency in fine shape and expressed confidence that it n'ould continue on a relatively stable keel in the 1.ear ahead

Executivc Vice President Northup analyred the forces and pressures at rvork in Washington and emphasized the need for keeping Congress and defense officials thoroughly aware of the nation's housing and light construction needs so long as controls remain in for,ce. He said that controls had not proved too rrnworkable or unduly burdensome so far, but reminded the Directors that the atmosphere could change overnight unless the industry and its representatives in Washington remain alert.

Members of the National's staff analyzed recent and prospective controls over production and construction, prices, and wages, emphasizing th: great difficulty of getting clean-cut rulings and interpretations in some fields, especially 'ivage stabilization. It was announced that a revised retail pricing order is in the works but that the details have not yet been agreed on.

John H. Else, the National's Legislative Counsel, pointed out that, thanks to splendid support from the National Affairs Committee, the legislation passed by the 82nd Congress had been modified in many important respects afiecting the ret;iil lumber industry. He said that Congressional leaders do not expect any really important legislative developments in 1952, an election year, but expressed the opinion that a good rnany bills designed to amend emergency controls and further social legislation would be introduced for political reasons.

The recent hearings at which the Wage-Hour Divisiou sought testimony on rvhich to base a nelv definition of retailing were described by John Alexander Jr.. chairman of the National's Labor Relations Committee. and C. Bovd Mahin, counsel. After praising the expert testimony given by various dealers and other witnesses presented by the National, Mr. Mahin predicted that the final decision probably would not be forthcoming in the immediate future because the staff of the Division was placing great emphasis on considerations to which the industry is unable to attach real importance.

W C. Bell, Chairman of the Educational Committee, reported that 14 nerv 30-day Courses are being scheduled and that a satisfactory enrollment is anticipated, considering current conditions. He stated that the benefits of this train-

Clyde .f,. Fulton Re-elected Presideut

(Continued from Page 28)

ing have been established beyond any question and urged dealers to enroll every possible employee.

He also reviewed the Management Conferences being held at various points and said the Committee was exceedingly interested but would withold any definite recommendations until after several forthcoming Conferences have been held.

A total of 3400 Dealer Data Books have been placed in the hands of dealers, according to Russell Nowels, Chairman of the Data Book Subcommittee. He said that, in view of the excellent reception the data Book has received, the Committee would redouble its efforts to get more books distributed and to induce more manufacturers to provide data sheets for the book.

C. B. Sweet, chairman of the Minute Man Committee, presented solid gold lapel buttons to the following five dealers whose results in the program have been outstanding: George P. Darby, Builders Supply Company, Pine Bluff, Arkansas; Carl A. Henkle, Andrews Lumber & Mill Company, Charleston, Illinois; W. T. Jameson, Jameson & Sayre, Norman, Okl;ihoma; Glenn D. Poarch, Economy Lumber Company, Miami, Oklahoma; and D. Morton Rose, D. M. Rose & Company, Knoxville, Tennessee.

The National's Public Relations prog'ram was analyzed by Phil Creden, chairman of the Public Relations Committee, and by Everett B. Wilson, Public Relations director. Mr. Creden characterized the Minute Man program as one of the most successful ever undertaken in the field and expressed the hope that the Committee c.ould be expanded Irom its present 1l5O members to at least 2000.

He also explained that the new Public Relations Contest, the rules of rvhich soon will be announced, has been so planned that any dealer can participate and said a large number of entries was anticipated. In addition, Mr. Creden reported that the nerv Picture Brochure will be published soon and distributed rvidely to dealers, public libraries, arrd leaders of publi.c opinion.

Mr. Wilson described plans for producing, over a period of years, a Handbook and Training Manual for retail lumber dealers, pointing out that it would be dealer-written and would form the basis for any training programs the industry might undertake, in addition to strengthening the industry's public relations.

The Directors approved a proposal whereby the Lunlber' Dealers Research Council would identify itself as being' "associated" rn'ith, though entirely separate from, the National and would reccive certain administrative and other services for u'hich the National rvould be fully compensatetl.

Clarence Thompson, chairman of LDRC, and James F. Lendrum of the Small Homes Council of the University of Illinois, described the painstaking procedure which the Council has follou'ed in conducting its Storage Wall Study, the results of rvhich lvill soon be announced. Mr. Thoml>son also reported that several other studies are under consideration by LDRC arrd urged wider support by indivirlrr:rl dealers.

Norman Mason, past president of NR[,DA, told of thc leading part which the retail lumber industry is playing in variotrs industry orgarizattons and cooperative efforts ;rn<l predicted that a great deal of progress rvill come frorn the

broad collaboration in which the industry is engaging.

A plea for dealer support of constructive efforts to mo<lernize local building codes was presented by R. G. Kimbell, technical director of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Mr. Kirnbell urged dealers to suPport statc legislation which would enable local communities to adopt model building codes by reference, thus facilitating thc otherwise monumental job of rewriting codes. He said the idea has industry-wide support.

A. L. Boisfontaine, chairman of the National I-umber Manufacturers Association's Standards Committee, and Nfr. Northup reviewed proposals which would require nanufacturers to produce and dealers to stock special sizes of construction lumber as a means of conserving materials and labor in home building during the emergency. Mr. Northup stated that the desired saving could be achieved by much less costly methods, if there were a sincdre desire to achieve the purpose, without requiring dealers to expand their inventories and, hence, increase the cost oi doing business.

The Ten-Point Program approved by the Board reads as follows:

As a means of maintaining a reasonable economic stability and preventing any further unnecessary drop in ccnstruction activities during the mobilization period, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association urges the Federal Gor'ernment, including Ccngress and the Defense Agencies, to adopt the following objectives:

1. Eliminate all unnecessary non-defense expenditures in order to control inflation and reduce the tax burden.

2. Distribute the tax burden equally over all branches of business and industry.

Restore the basing point system as a means of promoting free and even flc.w of goods.

Continue to expand the production of critical nraterials as rapidly as possible.

6.

Allocate to the construction industry a fair and reasouable share of the available supply of critical materials. Eliminate restrictions on use of materials in private construction as fast as the supply situation 'ivill permit. Maintain a Federal fiscal oolicv which will make available and ample supply cf mortgage money.

8. Relax credit restr-ictions as fast as increased production will permit.

9. Retain the principle level which permits cost of goods.

Three official census Los Angeles, 4,151,687 586,223 for the State of almost staggering proof

figures-1,970,358 for the city oi for Los Angeles Countr- and 10,California-form another startling, of the permanent trend of popuIat10n.

The city of Los Angeles now has far more residents than the entire State had (1,485,053) in 1900. Los Angeles County has more than the whole State had (3,426.861) it 1920. And California as a whole does nothing but get bigger, bigger, bigger.

California is 28 times as big as it 'ivas when the first census was taken in this State. In the last decade it led the nation in botli the rate and amount of increase. The State jumped 53% from its 6,907,387 of 1940 to its 10.586,223 in 1950.

The city of Los Angeles has mushroomed from 1610 in lB50 to 4385 ir\ 7860,5728 in 1870, 11,183 in 1880,50,395 in 1890. 102,479 in 19@, 319,198 in 1910, 576,573 in 1920, 1,238,048 in 1930 and 1,5M,277 in 1940 to today's bulging 1,970,358.

It has passed Detroit to become the nation's fourth largest city and is neck and neck with Philadephia for thirrl 1>osition. Any day it may pass Philadelphia because the censrls figures are for April 1, 1950, and the Chamber of Commerce estimates Los Angeles' mid-1951 population at 2,020.086. Philadelphia had 2,064,794 in the 1950 census.

Los Angeles and San Francisco long ago ended their intrarnural population race. The Bay City now has an official 775,357. In Southern California the bigg,:st runners-up are San Diego, with 334,387, and Long Beach. with a spanking 250,7(17. What a change from the days of Cabrillo centuries ago or the Willmore City of recent times !

No doubt u'ar industries in the 1940-50 decade helped. But those r.vartime visitors could have easily returned tr-r their homes.

With most, though, it's the same old story. Thev come here as servicemen during a \'var or as tourists during a boom like that of the 80s or the 20s. They see Southern Califomia, they like it, they go home, bring their families and tell their neighbors. Their neighbors come out. go home. bring their families and tell more neighbors.

Clinlate is the big selling point. But there are others. lirLr-ms with plenty of irrigation lvater. No dust storn-rs. ()ror,ving industries. Trvo cars in almost every garage. And paved high'n,ays to a fairyland of mountains, beaches ancl clesert resorts !

When vou deal with us you are assured of QUALITY PRODUCTS, personal attention to your orders and, of course, friendly customer service We feel confident you will find it profitable when you call us for your lumber requirements because we are sure of our policy and try to "measure up" by taking care of the desires of the most important people we deal withOURCUSTOMERS...

I Whcrt I Learned About Spirituclity From The lleathen

(As told to an American audience by an American missionary who had recently returned from India.)

I had heard tJris serious looking, dignified Hindoo 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 knew it would embarrass the average American to ask him that question, and how much more it would be likely to embarrass this heathen.

But one day I plucked up my courage, and when I heard him mention God-in the most reverent fashion-I asked him if he could and would tell me his idea of what and who God is? He replied: "Why surely, friend, I will be glad to tell you. ft 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. ft was a wonderful day in spring. The sun was shining. The sky was clear and blue. The air was filled with the song of birds, and everywhere nature was smiling. The grass, and flowers, and shrubs were wonderful in their spring garments, the perfume of the flowers \,eas 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 rememhgr this, my Son: that God made all these good and beautiful things. He MADE all these 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 the birds, and the rustle of the winds in the trees, and the song of the brook, and all the harmonies and wonderful things that surround you in life, remember this: that God made all that harmony. He MADE all harmony, He IS all harmony my Son.

"'And, Son, when you see this wonderful light that ilIumines 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: God MADE the light! He is IN the light! He is oF the light! He IS the light, my Son.

" 'And 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."'

Ancient Advertising

H. G. Wells once said, when speaking of advertising, that the twelve Apostles were "drummers" advertising salvation, and that St. Paul, raising his voice at Athens, was a mighty advertising specialist long before the days of big type and printing presses.

You can go still further back. The rainbow was the first large size color advertisement, guaranteeing that the earth would never again be destroyed by flood.

Caesar, writing on the walls of Rome the proceedings of the senate, prepared the first famous political advertisement. And the great Asiatic King who inscribed on his tomb, "I am Cyrus, O man," prepared the first and most personal advertisement.

To advertise means to inform: and information is life.

As part or the

the students were asked to write a brief definition of a self-made man. Abright-eyed young lady, wrote this one: "A self-made marr is like a self-made cigarette-a lot of Bull wrapped in transparent cover."

A Lot

Rita: "Do you care much for sailors?"

Nita: "Yes, indeed, gobs and gobs."

Give cnd Serve

Give and Serve. Don't fail to give the smile and kind word to whoever enters your place of business. Avoid the appearance and feeling of indifference. Don't ever be too busy to say good morning with your mouth wide open enough so the other fellow will feel you are really glad to see him. Don't ever forget that your business and, your customer's business in this world are the same, namely, to serve, you in your capacity, he in his. Kindness and sincerity are aids to service.

\(/eyerhaeuser Has 13 Tree Farms In \(/ashington and Oregon

The Weyerhaeuser interests, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Tacoma,'Washington, have 13 certified tree farms in Washington and Oregon, with a total acreage ol 2,554,208 acres. The largest of these farms is the Klamath Tree Farm, in Oregon, whose 574,64I acres of timber growing supports the Company's only Ponderosa Pine sawmill. The latest of its tree farms is the Millicoma Forest with 205.000 acres in the Coos Bay area of southwestern Oregon. When this farm was certified last July it brought the total number of such farms in the Douglas Fir region to 100.

The Millicoma Forest will supply Weyerhaeuser's newest and most modern sawmill at North Bend, Oregon, for all time to come. This mill is geared for a production of 300,000 feet of lumber daily, and the Forest is expected to easily supply that amount of logs.

Save Money \(ith Common Sense Lumber And

Timber Design Specifiications

By Charles F. Crais, Sales Engineer Pope & Talbot, Inc., Portland, Oregon

During this period of high construction costs and cotrstruction material shortages, it behooves the engineer to tailor his design and timber specifications to fit the available material.

With the present stepped-up demand for construction grade lumber, it is only natural for the mills to be somewhat selective in their cutting schedules. For this reason, many schedules for stress grade lumber and timber which require odd sizes, non-standard surfacing, free-of-boxedheart stringers or extremely long lengths are practically unobtainable. Frequently the design specifications call for hard-to-get high stress grades when a lower stress grade, r,vhich is obtainable, tvill suffice.

Slight changes in design or modification of specifications to use the available material constitute savings'in time ai{ money for both buyer.and supplier. To realize these savings. the designer of timber structures should limit his design to standard sizes and mill lengths where possible. Odd sizes reflect the additional costs of special setups in the mill for sawing and surfacing, while using mill lengths eliminates the waste from cutting. Keep in mind that the basic price is based on the mill length furnished regardless of the net length required.

If surfacing is required, specify S4S (surfaced four sides), which is standard for mills equipped for surfacing. The SIS1E (surface one side, one edge) which is quite often found in bridge decking specifications gives the designer the same net section as the S4S but leaves the mill man with the problem of how to dispose of the over-run (extra cutting) or fall-down (material which does not meet the grade requirements).

Permit dapping large size timbers at bearing surfaces as an alternate to the usual specified surfacing of SlE to required depth. This rvill allow a large number of mills

not equipped for surfacing to submit competitive prices and a structurally stronger piece will be supplied. Standard surfacing of %" off on large stringers rreedlessly reduces the section modulus where the bending stress is highest.

Irlan to splice such items as laminated decking, as multiple or random lengths are much easier to obtain than a large number of pieces of a specified length. Never specify a. single long length rvhen tl,e end product is to be cut irrto sevcral short lengths such as bridging or blocking and rvhenever practicable, permit the use of built-up or spliced members for such itcms as wheel guards, caps and sills. \Vatch carefully the grade requirement and specify the lowest stress which will dc the job. All too frequently, specifications call for high stress grades select structural timl>er for non-load-bearing members such as filler blocks, bridging and wheel guards when a lower, more obtainable, less expensive grade w'ill suffice. Keep in mind the use of the lorver grades rvhen designing for both economy and availability.

As a precautionary measure, permit alternate bids. This will allow suppliers tc offer the available material and even though different than specified, it will often be acceptable and save needless time and cost of re-advertising.

A final caution is specify preservative pressure treatment for all lumber and timber products exposed to decay or attack by wood-destroying organisms. The small additional cost of preservative treatment is cheap insurance against structural failure from decay or termite damage. High replacement and maintenance costs, both labor and materials, are practically eliminated rvhen the material is properly pressure-trelted according to American WoodPreserver's Association specifications.

Attempts are often made to realize a small initial construction saving by irot specifying preservative treatment.

Humboldt County, California, Fastest Growing Sawmill Area on Earth

In a single decade the number of sawmills operating irr Humboldt County, California, has jumped ftom 2O to more than 340, undoubtedly establishing a record never before dreamed of in all the history of American lumber manufacture. The president of the Eureka, California, Chamber of Commerce, Mr. G. Edward Goodwin, recently made that announcement to newspaper men, who sent it out broadcast, to startle the business world. Mr. Goodwin said:

"About 80 per cent of the world's Redwood is in Humboldt County, and we have billions of feet of Douglas fir which we are just beginning to tap. I don't think these timber resources will ever be ,cut. Every cruise that is made discovers millions more feet of timber, and through sustained yield of the companies, and tree farming, we think that for many, many generations there will be timber to be cut and harvested here. In July the count on lumber mills in the area was 340, and new ones have opened up since. I believe a billion and a half board feet of lumber will be produced here this year."

Rukeyser, famous Economic Commentator for fnternational News Service, took a look at Humboldt County recently, and wrote some interesting pieces for the San Francisco Examiner and other large newspapers he represents concerning the mighty change in the lumber situation in that area. In the Examiner he said:

"A bizarre illustration of an unscientific approach t<-r business is currently being dramatized in the booming strip of northwestern California in Humboldt County, of which Eureka is the center. A last frontier has been opened up since the Second World War in the expansion of the lumber industry. The section embraces the rich Redwood empire, and until recently tended to regard the growth of Douglas fir trees as a mere troublesome weed. Smug in their leadership, the Redwood men frowned on Fir, and assu'med it was of inferior quality. But the demands in World War Two expanded so greatly as to raise a question of the adequacy of timber reserves of Douglas fir in Washington and C)regon. With the new scientific fashion of tree farming in those two states of the Pacific Northwest, the untouched reserves in the hands of the Government and of the big and well operated lumber companies is still very large, but apparently the small scale operators

had pretty well cut down their source of trees in the Northern states, and began to look elsewhere for new fields to conquer.

"Thus they started a migration to Humboldt County, California, and demonstrated that the neglected California fir tree was a hidden natural resource of great value. In a decade the number of lumber mills in the County rose from 20 to 340. Thus there had been 'acres of diamonds' in the backyard of the County, and the local people had not been aware of the importance of the asset these many years."

So wrote Mr. Rukeyser, giving a layman's, yet not far wrong', view, of the miracle that has happened, not only to Humboldt County, but to much ofi the timbered areas of Northern California. As a result of the inrush and upsrving of fir manufacture, lumber production for the state was increased above that of Washington, making California the second largest lumber producing state in the nation, second only to Oregon.

Of course, it was not only the starting of new sawmills, cutting fir that provided the great in,crease in the production of that species, but the total was hugely assisted by the manufacture of fir in all of the Redwood mills. Some of the larger Redwood manufacturers now produce f.rom N to 25 per cent as much fir lumber as they do Redwood, since they find the Redwood and fir timber growing on the same stands and in the same areas. The fir production of California has not yet reached its maximum, as new and enlarged sarvmills are constantly being announced.

Save Money

(Continued from Page 44)

This practice, which permits exposing valuable, hard-to-get stress grade material to early destruction by decay or termites, is false economy. Appreciable savings can be realized in both initial construction costs and maintenance costs by common sense lumber and timber design specifications.

A staunch advocate of Exterior plyrvoocl in marine constructioll is Jerry Driscoll, designer of the all-plyrvood tuna tenders being built by Driscoll Brothers Boat \\rorks, San Diego, Calif. N{ore than 20 ol the sleek, ocean-going speedsters have been built in the border city yards in the past year, rvith orders for as many more currently on backlog.

"Tentlcrs g'ct an ar.vful lot of use ancl abuse," explains Driscoll, "and the requirements of the tuna fishermen dictate that the boats be light, fast, rugged and possess other seaworthy clrralities. We've found that plywoocl fills the bill on every cotlnt. It's not only the best material, but considerir.rg timc and labor savings, it's the least expensive."

The ruggecl craft probably are used in as many clifferer.rt ways as anything that floats. Their main job, of course, is to range out from the larger, slower mother ship in search a bait or schools of tuna. Generally, they operate hundreds of miles from sl-rore and many times in heavy seas. The tenders are also used as a water taxi for ship-to-shore transportatiorr, life boat, pleasure boat and general work horse of the ttrna fleet.

Weyerhaeuser's " lde"l Sawmill " ls Practically Completed

According'to "Weyerhaeuser News" the "Ideal Sawmill" which the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company is constructing at North Bend, Oregon, is practically completed. The long side of the sawmill has been running since last May, while various of the basic items of equipment have followed irr their turn. Construction on this mill started in October, 1949. The basic machinery in the sawmill is a ten foot double cut headrig handling logs up to 40 feet long; a ninc foot double cut headrig handling logs up to 24 feet; a bulledger, three gang trimmers, a gangsaw, a band edger, and a horizontal split-bed resaw. Three hundred thousand feet every eight hours is the estimated average capacity o! the mill.

The san'mill building is 400 by 100 feet in size, the planing mill is 220 by 100 feet, the green sorting chain is 480 by 100 feet, and there are three huge lumber sheds interconnected with the sarvmill and planer, the shipping shed (480 by 100), the clear storage shed (380 by 100), and the common storage (380 by 100). A hydraulic sawlog barker will complete the mill, afterivhich only barked logs 'ivill enter the sarvmill. The mill will utilize comoletelv its milling left-ovcrs.

(Continued on Page 54)

Section 4

(Continued from Page 52)

Land subject to lien:

The building and enough land for the convenient use and occupation of the building are subject to the lien. Examples: An entire city lot and the house that is on it; a country estate with its grounds. Exceptional case : An entire ranch. The house and the land around it would be subject to the lien, but only in an exceptional case is the farmed part of the ranch subject to the lien. But don't take a chance-file your lien on the whole ranch.

If work is done on sidewalks or street in front of a lot, at request of owner of lot, you can claim a lien on the lot for the work done on the sidewalks or street.

Section 5-(Complete Revision)

5. Time of Filing Lien

a. If the job is completed:

(l) Completion is defined as either of the following:

(a) Occupation or use of the building with ces' sation of labor, or

(b) Acceptance by owner.

(2) Within 10 days after either of the two above has i t"ken place, the owner or his agent can file a I Notice of Completion with the County Recorder ' and this is notice to everybody that the lien peri: od has started to run. (The Notice of Completion i can be inspected in the Recorder's Office, and conI tains valuable information for the filling out of a lien.)

(3) A general contractor must file his lien within 60 days after filing of Notice of Completion.

(4) A sub-contractor, material dealer or laborer must file his lien within 30 days (not a month) of the filing of the Notice of Completion. (A material dealer is never a general contractor, so be sure to file your lien within 30 days.)

(5) If no Notice of Completion is filed all persons have 90 days (not three months) after completion rvithin which to file liens.

b. If the job is not completed, but work simply stops.

(1) This is called cessation of labor. If there is cessation of labor for 30 days, the owner can file a Notice of Cessation within 10 days thereafter.

(u) A general contractor has 6O days after the filing of the Notice of Cessation within which to file his lien.

(b) A subcontractor, material dealer or laborer ftas 30 days after the filing of the Notice of Cessation within which to file his lien.

(Z) If no Notice of Cessation is filed, all persons have 90 days after work has ceased for 60 days-a total of 150 days-within which to file liens.

Section 6-d

Narhe of person you furnished the materials to-the general contractor usually-

(Warning: A recent case holds if you name in your lien the owner as the person to whom the materials were furnished, and actually you furnished them to the contractor, your lien is void and you can't recover.)

Section 7

Effect of lien

The claim of lien must be filed in the Recorder's Office in the county where property is located, within the time limit set by law. A valid lien has priority over any mortgage, deed of trust, attachment, judgment or other encumbrance which may have been recorded after the job or improvement was started. A trust deed or mortgage filed after the job or improvement has started can obtain priority by the owner or contractor filing a bond to the amount of 75/a of the mortgage or trust deed. In that case. the lien claimants must look to the bond, and the mortgage or trust deed is prior to liens for rvork done after the mortgage or trust deed is recorded. A lien would not be prior to any unrecorded mortgage or trust deed if the lien claimant had knowledge of it before the job was started. If a building is financed, the lender will insist that its trust is recorded before the work is started. In this case all liens come after the first trust deed (and any others recorded before the work starts.)

Section 12 Building Fund

Usually the construction of a building is financed by a bank or a building and loan association. The bank pays out the money to the general contractor or subcontractors and material dealers in progress payments. On residence construction customarily l/5 oI the total building fund is kept until the property is cleared of liens. If, therefore, the job goes bad and it is necessary to file a lieri, all lien claimants are entitled to share proportionately in what is left of the building fund, and only the lien claimants can share in this fund. Under the new law if a Stop Notice is filed rvith the holder of the building fund, the holder may hold the amount of that claim from the contractor. He must withhold it if the claimant puts up a bond lor l-ft times the amount of his claim. If after the claimant files his notice and bond, the owner or contractor protests it, the owner or conrractor in turn may put up a similar bond, and the funds are then released. Be sure to file ybur claim with the holder of the fund, and either have an arrang.ement .rvith the holder to withhold the money, or file a bond in order to protect yourself.

New Section 14 Stop Notices on private jobs

The California law now provides that a lien claimant can file a Stop Notice with the owner of a private job. This Stop Notice must be verified in proper forrn and must list generally the work done and materials sold. The owner must withhold an amount sufficient to cover the Stop Notice unless a construction bond rvas given at the time the job was started. Even though a construction bond has been given, the owner may still withhold the amount specified in the Stop Notice. This is an important new weapon in the hands of lien claimants, since it forces the o.n,ner to withhold or obtain a construction bond. (See also Section 12 above, relating to building funds.)

New Sashless \Tindow

An "all-glass" window now manufactured in the heart of California's Redwlod Region, consists of a redwood frame and no hardware, except an ingenious pull-latch which locks the n,indorv closed or part open. Metal shortages can have very little effect on its manu{acture. It is manufactured by the Ernest Pierson Company, Eureka, California.

The "Pierson 20-20 Windou," rvas designed by a California home builder who, after five years and some 3000 installations in California's lvet northern belt, has started manufacturing the window. It comes in seven fabricatecl redwood pieces, ready to nail together right into the wall f raming, and eliminates sashes, putty and weights. It comes in one size, for the present,4'-0" x3'-U'. Two panes of glass are used, rvith one of them sliding standard size, 26" x36", 3/l(t" crystal, to be obtained from any glazier (not included with fabricated rvindow). Glass panes lift out for cleaning.

The "picture height" window is intended for use, singly or grouped like rvindo.iv wal1s, in one-story, California style home design. It provides easy furniture arrangement, with maximum light and privacv. The knockdown pieces are packed in a metal-taped bundle, for easy shipping ancl stofage.

Because of different uses, beams and stringers differ fron-r joist and plank with respect to measurement and limitation of knots on the wide faces. In beams and stringers the smallest dimension of a knot on a wide faces is a simple and sufficient criterion of the effect on strength. In joist and plank a measure of the reduction of effective width of the piece is afforded by the average diameter of a knot.
