A new look in Mill Towns

This attractive house was built by an employee of the Pope & Talbot mill at Oakridge.

It would have been hard to find a comparable home in a sawmill town of the last generation. In those days, tar PaPer shacks housed workers who knew their jobs would disappear as soon as the adjacent timber was cut.

Today, the idea of a permanent forest, of "timber cropping," is replacing the "cut out and get out" operation. This house at Oakridge is visible proof of a new era in the lumber industry.

At Oakridge, Pope & Talbot hope to establish a Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit together with the Forest Service. This Unit would underwrite the community develoPment rcalized thus far. It would mean an everlasting forest, a permanent mill, a Permanent community and a Permanent source of quality lumber for our customers.

!SSirco Soys Upson Products Lead rhe Field

SouthernStates fron Roofing Company with General Ofrces in Savannah, Georgia, is a wholesale distributor of building materials which serves 10,000 retail dealers from sixteen strategically located warehouses in the southeast. By exercising a strict merchandising and dealer service policy, Southern States has progressed steadily. Today it stands as one of the foremost suppliers of quality building products.

"Through our thirty-eight years of progress," says Lee Bartholomew, Vice President of Sales for the company, "it has always been our policy to sell only the highest quality building materials. We are proud to offer lJpson Panels to the building industry. Customer satisfaction has proven Upsonproducts to be a leader in the field.

75,040 SQaARE FEET ol Upson Panels, secured with 40,000 inuisible Upson"Floating" Fasteners, were used in the giant exhibition buildine.

Deolers Enlhusiostic qbout Ceiling Tile, Striafed Ponels

An ever growing awareness of the sales potential of both Upson Ceiling Tile and Striated Panels is apparently responsible for the marked enthusiasm for these products among dealers and their salesmen.

In the opinion of dealers, the waterproofed and washable features of the ceiling tile is the big selling point; next in importance is the foolproof installation method with matching color pins which prevents sagging. The fastgrowing trend to more modern interiors-in remodeling and new construction-and the interest in contrasting wall surfaces is causing the accelerated demand for Striated Panels, the dealers say.

Tronsfer Company Problem Solved With llpson Ponels!

_The Jasper Tlansfer Company of Memphisjennessee, had an eipeisive problem. The wardrobe cases which they used for trans- porting clothing were too flimsv to withstand the hard usage and too expensive to be discarded after each job. The Companv . ) had difficultv hncling a substitute, however, and the problem remained unsolved until thev discovered Upson Panels. Now they make their own wardrobe cases out df Upson Panels. The initial cost is less and the wardrobes can be usedtime and time again.

"When we began early in ourhistory to broaden our line of new building material products," explains Mr. Bartholomew, "we kept in mind that qual- ity was of the utmosL importance. Rigid new standards of quality were established, and modern improved manufacturing methods were adopted. We always have kepti and will continue to keep, our standards high."

Prompt and efrcient service for dealers from sixteen strategically located warehouses has sparked the growth and progress of Southern States Iron Roofing Company and won wide respect for the SSIRCO trademark.

FAIRLESS TELLS HOW ITS EMPLOYEES COULD BECOME THE OWNERS OF U. S. STEPT,; AND WONDERS HOW THEY woulD LrKE rT.*

Evgry now and then a speech comes along that contains so much good food for thought that it deserves first class attention. Such a speech was delivered by Ben. F. Fairless, President of U. S. Steel Corporation to the pennsylvania State Chamber of Commerce, at*Pittsburgh, on Oct. 22nd.

We were just dialing the radio that evening seeking what might turn up that would be worth listening to, when we heard some phrases being uttered that caused us to stop right there, and listen intently. And do you know, it was a speech that we believe would be heard with interest and enjoyment by every thinking American, employees and employers alike. We decided to try and give some highlights of what Mr.*Fairless said.

In the beginning, he said, men who labored owned their own tools of industry, whether they were saw, hammer, shovel, plow, or what have you. The Quakers who came to Pennsylvania with Wm. Penn 2IO years ago were no stronget than the Indians whom they found there, and displaced, but multiplied their strength by the tools and implements with which they worked, while the Indians had improved nothing in their atf.;

Today about 95 per cent of all the work in our manufacturing industries is done mechanically, while only about 5 per cent is human effort. So our present-day workers are abk: to produce twenty times as much as if they still worked with just their own tools. And their standard of living has improved accordingly, for the real hourly earnings of the worker has risen over the years in direct proportion to the increased sums invested in the mechanical tools and equipment n" rT".* *

Today in many of our great industries it takes tens upon tens of thousands of dollars to provide the machines and materials that a single worker uses. And, since the average worker has not that kind of money with which to buy such equipment, it requires the combined savings of millions of people in all walks of life, invested in stocks, to supply these productive facilities upon which our industrial workers depend. This has created and developed a peculiarly American brand of highly-competitive capitalism which we call Free Enterprise. * * *

Now at this point in his speech, Mr. Fairless rolls his-

tory back a hundred years to a couple of European charac. ters named Marx and Engels, who wrote a book called the "Communist Manifesto," which has become the unholy bible of plenty of unholy people. Marx said in this book that workers would never be free until they, themselves, owned the facilities of production; and likewise preached that only through revolution could this be brought about. He saw workers and employers only as natural enemies, and the only chance for the workers to get along, to teaf down the employing class.

Well', Russia, where Marx cut the deepest with his preachings, had its revolution, and the government took over everything. But did the workers become the owners of the tools of production, as Marx and Engels hai predicted? fnstead, the State owns the tools, the Commissars own the workers, and the workers own nothing but misery. In England they tried it in the last few years, and the Government took over the ownership of most industry. And do the workers own the factories and tools now? About as much as they do in Russia.

So here in his story Mr. Fairless, after due apology for a terrible pun, says that it has been proved that Marx did not know all the Engels.

And today the British steel worker, instead of owning the tools and factories, is paid on\r one-third as much as the average American steel worker. He has just traded bosses, and finds little to boast about from the change that has been made. :r :r ;t<

Then Mr. Fairless brings up that part of his speech which makes it something rare. He shows by simpte figures that instead of revolution being the only way the worker can become the owner of his tools, it could be done very simply and very practically in this country today, and he uses the giant U. S. Steel Corporation to show how. He says that when he first made the figures that will follow, they surprised him just as they do other people. Here is how'

The U. S. Steel Corporation has 3fi),000 employees. The stock of the corporation is on the market, and in small lots is constantly changing hands. If the employees were to go into the market and buy just 87 shares each, they would become owners of all the common stock, and so owners of the business. How much would that cost? It would cost a total of less than $3,500 for each employee. That is what the average steelworker makes in ten months. fn

To avoid the uncertainties oI oak flooring anonymous

tlte wage increase that followed the recent strike,. these .t;::, workers gained about ten dollars a week each.

rf*!t

't They could take that ten dollars and appty it each peek on their purchase of common stock, and in less than seven years they wduld own all, that common stock. They would .r,. own the U. S. Steel Corporation. Or they could stop buy,... ing in five years, and own the controlling stock. And what t,: would happen then? You could hear Mr. Fairless chuck-

ti"g as he talked. Th"y lould -haye to run-the business, of eourse, would havb to elect their own officers, and take 'l -fiilt charge. They would become the owirers of those wellf,.i ; advertised 'lbloated profits" they had heard so rnuch about. ;!, ,:Yes Sir, all the profits would then be theii own.

+,1.+

About that time they would be in for a series of shocks. They would discover that the total dividends on their g7 shares would be just $261 a year. They would also discover that for every dollar of dividends they got, they would have to pay six dollars in taxes. There would now be no strikes, no walkouts, of course. A man can't strike against himself, can't walk out on his own business. But suppose living costs went up as they have_ been doing. Could they increase their dividends? Well, not very well. Could they ask and demand higher wages? Sure, but they would have to pay the increase themselves.

:F*:f

Suppose a committee of the workers went to the manager and said the boys were demanding an additional $S00 a year pay. Then the question would natufally arise, how could they raise their o\nln pay $50O when their total dividends from their stock was only $Z6l ? There would be some head-scratching then. Another thing the new owners would discover is that as owners they get only a part of the profits, since a considerable amount must be reinvested in the business and for plant upkeep and expansion, to furnish the steel needed, and to insure a continuation of jobs. But, while this money belongs to them, they would get no immediate returns on same.

:t {< rl

Only by raising prices'could they increase their dividends or wages, and then they run into price controls. By this time they would have discovered that operating a big industry is not as simple as getting a weekly pay check; and perhaps not as welt paying a proposition. They would likely become interested for the first time in government spending, and waste, etc., which, as wage earners, does not directly concern them. ***

From here on let us quote more directly from the conclusions reached by Mr. Fairless in this speech. He says:

"I cannot help feeling that if the workers in America ever did own the tools of production, all of us would quickly learn a few fundarirental and very simple economic truths that have somehow escaped a great many of our people. We would learn that this endless confict betweert owner and worker is the sheerest, unadulterated folty; for when we fight over profits, we are fighting'over peanuts. Of the total sum which the workers and owners of U. S. Steel divided up between them last year, more than 92 per cent went to the workers, while less than 8 per cent went to the owners. Yet that small share paid to thr owners was the total "rent" we paid them for all the billions of dollars worth of plants and facilities and furnaces we used in making steel. And without these facilities, of course, oui men could not have made any steel at all.

tt**

He continues: "Let the workers take one-tenth of everything the owners received for the use of these tools, and what would they get? Peanuts, as I have said. Less than a dime a &y. But let thbm go whole hog and grab all the owners' share, let them wipe out all these dividends completely and forever, and what happens then? They would destroy the company, destroy their jobs, work infinite harm upon a vast segment of our national economn and wipe out the savings which more than 275,000 of their fel Iow Americans have invested in our business. And for what? For the price of about three cartons of cigarettes a week, apiece. No, my friends, American workers will never improve their standard of living by grabbing the meager share which the owners get from our present economic pie. They witl only do it by prohucing a larger pie with a bigger share for everyone.

*rk*

(Continued) 'And there we have the simple economic truths of the matter. To live better vye must produce more; but proiluction is the result of teamwork, not of confict. We cannot produce by fighting each other and hating each other; for by so doing we destroy ourselves. And we shall only achieve our fullest measure of production when we begin to understand that the interests of worker and owner are NOT antagonistic, but identical; that under our American system it is impossible for one to prosp€r while the other suffers. That is the lesson which, somehow, we must learn; yet we find people today-both in and out of the crackpot fraternity of Karl Marx-who are trying to keep us frdm learning it."

*{(*

The writer of this piece believes that he benefited much by that speech of Mr. Fairless; and that benefit might well come to everyone interested in industry who reads it. For his facts and figures seem startlingly new, and economically wise.

Fir Doors

(CPR 175---Douslas Fir and Western Hemlock Doors)

Specific dollars-and-cents manufacturers' ceiling prices on standard sizes and grades of stock doors and door parts produced lvest of the Cascacle Monntains in Oregon and Washington were announced by the Offrce of price Stabilization.

The ceilings are set forth in Ceiling Price Rcgulation 175, effective October 21, 1952.

The netv regulation supersedes tvith respect to the products covered the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR), u'hich froze prices of individual manufactrlrers on January 26, 195I.

The nen' regulation does not change the general lerrel of ceiling ltrices. The purpose of the action is to provicle the industry with equitable, uniform ceiling prices and a regulation tailored to the customs of the industry.

The regrrlation applies to doors produced from pacific Northu,est soft'uvoods, mainlr. Douglas fir, Western hemlock, Sitka spruce, noble fir and u,hite fir. There are 16 firms ir-r the industry rvhich produce about $50,000,Ct00 rvorth of doors annualiy.

Details of the Regulation

Ceilings are fixed on gracles ancl sizes established by the National Bureau of Standards Commercial Standard CS 73-51 for house doors, siclelights and garage cloors, and Conrmercial Standard CS 91-41 for factory-fitted en_ trance cloors. For hollon' core or airflor,v flush doors specifications must be the ecluivalent of the rninimum specifications set forth in the "Official Fir Door Industry Grailing

Rules for Flush Doors," adopted by the Douglas Fir Institute.

Ceilings are established on an f.o.b. mill basis. Provision is n.rade for deterrnining ceiling prices for sales on a delivered basis.

Stock House Doors and Sidelights

Base list prices and base discounts are specified for different standard sizes and grades of stock l-rouse door.s and sidelights. They are applicable to the classes of customers u'hich customarily have receir.ed the largcst discounts. Both transit and non-transit discounts are given. If a manufacturer is entitled to a transit privilege under existing railroad tariff regulations, permitting him to credit a portion of the inbound freight cl.rarges or1 raw materials to the outborrnd freight charges on finished products, he employs the transit discounts. Otheru,ise he uses the nontransit discounts.

The base transit discour.rts range according to grade of doors from 2O to 26 per cent for Douglas fir house doors and 22 to 28 per cent for house cloors of other species. The non-transit discounts range frorn 18 to 24 per cent for Douglas fir doors ancl 20 to 2fi per cent for cloors of other species. Discounts f or sidelights are the s:rme as those for Grade A doors.

ISase list prices are spelled out for 37 different stock sizes of house doors in thickness of 1 3/8 and | 3/4 inches, and for 29 stzes also in thickr-resses of 1 1/8 inches.

Base list prices, for examltle, on a door 2 feet 6 inches

cPR-t zz Western Soltwood Plywood and Y eneer

Dollars-and-cents ceiling prices on standard grades and dimensions of Douglas fir plyu'ood faced rvith hardboard were announced by the Office of Price Stabilization.

The nen' ceilings are applicable to certain products made by 10 plyn,ood manufacturers sold under the trade name of Plyron. Plyron is grade-marked and inspected by the Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association. Two years ago there vl'ere only three producers. Production has increased rapidly, and a further increase is anticipated.

Irlyron is used for concrete forms, cabinet doors, shelving, store fixtures, exterior siding and many other purposes. It combines the qualities of plyl'oocl u,ith hardboard. Plyrvood is made of several thin slices of n.ood \-eneer bonded together with the grain of alternate plies at right angles to each other. Hardboard is tempered or treated fibreboard. Plyron i.s u'ater resistant, dimensionally stable and relatively puncture proof.

The nell. Plyron ceilings are set forth in Amendment 1 to Ceiling Price Regulation 122 (Ceiling Prices for Western Softwood Plyrvood and Veneer), and are effective October 20, 1952.

Ceiling prices f.o.b. mill in carload lots are established per 1,000 sqLlare feet, for various standard thicknesses, plies and dimensiolrs, in both interior and exterior grades, as follorvs :

Ceilings on sales of less than carload lots are 10 per cent higher.

The ceilings are applicable to Plyron in rvidths of 21, 30, 3(>, 42, and 48 inches and lengths of ,18, 60, 72, 84 and 96 inches.

Establislied tveights are prescribed for use in computing charges for delivery r-hen sales are on a delivered basis.

Scptember Housing Starts 98,000

A total of 98,000 new permanent nonfarm dwelling units were started in September, just 1,000 short of the August figure, according .to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau ol Labor Statistics. September was the seveith consecutive month this year that housing starts were af or near the 100,000 unit mark.

Thus far in 1952, a total of 866,800 new dwelling units have been placed under construction; 800 units above last year's estimate for the first 9 months. A 19,300 unit increase in private housing this year over last was almost offset by an 18,500 unit decrease in public housing.

"How did you vote?"'asked Jonah.

"I voted Republican," said Eben.

"Why?" asked Jonah.

"Bectzr" said Eben, "dey wuz de least corrupt."

Public housing begun during September (900 units) was at the lowest level in over a year, and dropped from 24,5ffi .units in the second quarter to but 3,900 units in the third quaiter. Private housing starts have been above last year's monthly rate for the past 7 months, and increased this year from 294,8N units in the second guarter to 297,100 in the third quarter.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, preliminary estimates 'indicate that total housing starts (private and public) were at an annual rate of 1,091,000 during September, the highest during the four months for which a total annual rate is available. The final revised rate for June is 1,040,000, and the preliminary rate for July and August, 1,088,000 and 1,035,000, respectively

Having kept pace with the unprecedented growth o{ the area which they serve, Fisk and Mason, distributors of Pioneer-Flintkote roofing materials and well-known building product dealers for a quarter century, recently opened a complete branch at 1858 Rosecrans Boulevard in Gardena.

The same well known line of products will be carried and the new branch will afford a convenient stockpile for the roofing dealers and applicators of Southeast and Southwest Los Angeles.

Hugh Mason is the active man behind this active firm and there are few who would dispute the knowledge accumulated by his firm concerning roofing requirements in this area. Amongst many architects, builders, lumber dealers and roofers throughout the section the questions or problems of everyday occurrence relating to roofing have long been punctuated with a positive, "Ask Hugh Mason."

In 1923 Hugh formed a partnership with Jackson Fisk to carry on the business of hardwood flooring contractors. Soon their interest turned to roofing and they found themselves in the roofing contracting field.

A year after incorporation, Jackson Fisk died and Hugh was elected president by the stockholders and has managed the business for the past 24 years. During this time they have operated from present headquarters in South Pasadena --€55 El Centro Street. Allen Kurten has successfully managed the main office for six years now.

With a solid five years' background handling various building materials, Tony DeSantis has been named manager of the new Gardena branch. Assisting him are Harry Carpenter and Howard McAteer-sons-in-law of Hugh Mason.

'!(/inners Announced in "Roor-for-lmprovem ent" Contest

\Vhether a house rvas built cn a colonial homestead before the American revolution or on a cit;, lot this year, therels "room-for-improvement" in Luilder's cor-rtracts ancl building rnaterials sales for remodeling

That is one of the nuggets of fa,ct discovered by rvest coast ply'.l,'ood manufacturers last month as they mined a bonanza in remodeling ideasthe "Room-for-Improvement" plvr.'i'ood rem,tdeling contest for homeo.ivners sponsored by Douglas Fir Plyyood Association.

For the past few weeks, the association has been bus1, making pr-ize payments tc 46 separate winners from Washington to Florida and arranging for architectural solutions to the problems presented by eight of the top cntries. These included a Bozeman, Mont., rancher's u'i{e n'ho rr.ill expand her dining room to provide space for a vieu, n indon,, a ranch office and a seu'ing center and a ycung Oaliland, Cal.. architect r,vho rvill add a children's wing to his suburban hillside home that can later be converted into an income-producing apartment. Both won $3 00C in cash, complete plans for their remodeling projects and a promise of a. $1,00O bonus .ivhen they complete the rvork.

Prizes almost as large \\'ere presented to six other farrn and suburban home owne-.s for their imaginative and sensernaking home impror-ernent plans. According to W. E. Difford, managing director of the association, the contest n'as "an outstanding success in every respect."

"Nfore than 13,500 people returned detailed entries, far exceeding our most optimistic earlier estimates," he said. "\Ve may be lvrong, ltut r','e think the information turned up in the contest constitutes the most accurate and specific cross-section of n'hat this country needs in home improvements that anyone has managed to obtain."

fn announcing the .lvinners. the association explained th:.t entrants had been asked a number of questions on their Dreferences in building styles in addition to their remodeling ideas. The announcement said their ans\vers "are a crvstallization of the hopes and dreams of homeorvners everyu'here." Here are some of the highlights of an initial analysis of the entries.

An estimated three out of five urban families s'ho are cramped for space figure on adding neu' floor area in the event they remodel. The other tu'o could get the space they need by improvements rvithin existing walls. Even the one-story, tn'o-bedroom post-rvar home rvhich seemed to present the greatest limitation in remodeling projects came in for its share of attention by entrants and one of the top prize-u'inners solved space problems by reversing a standard plan by adding a living room at the rear of the house and turning the front living room into a bedroom.

In rural areas, homeon'ners are altout equally dividecl betu,een those n-ho neeC more floor space and those u'ho t'ould improve their homes by remodelins within the hor.rse.

In general, city drvellers \\'ere most interested in multipurpose rooms or additional sleeping ar-eas rvhile farmers u'ere most interested in der-eloping utility rooms for such functions as canning;, n'ashing, selr.ing and other domestic c hores.

Most entries shorved a strong preference for contemporary architectural styles or adaptation of older homes to more modern lines to which panel materials like plyrvood are especially rvell adapted.

Thc association said it rvill get architectural solutions to all the first eight prize-winners rvhich include four farm ;lnd four city homes and that it looks like most of them u,ill qualify for their bonuses by actually completing the rvork.

Now under way are plans for dealer and builder remodelir-rg idea literature based on the most outstanding entries in the contest.

The first prize for remodeling a city home by addition was won by Alan N{organ of Oakland, Cal., a young architect r.r'ho rresented an original idea for adding an all-purpose children's rving u'ith a striking vertical plvwood siding treatrnent to his modern flat-roofed home perched on an Oakland hillside. The wing n'ould provide norv for a children's play and sleeping area observable through a rvindow wall from the bedroom and kitchen of the present house. With slight a.daptations it could be converted later on into an attractive apartment. The prize was $3,000, Morgan rvill get the architect's commission on the job and a cash bonus of $1,000 when he conipletes the vvork.

The same prize for a farm home 'ivas rn'on by Mrs. John E. Norton of Bozeman, Mont., for her common-sense approach to getting livability in the crowded dining room of her pleasant, homey, house in the picturesque Gallatin Valley near Yellorvstone National Park. She plans a simple sqnse-making expansion of the room which .ivill give her space for a new office and sewing center built-ins. There n'ill be more dining space rvith a slveeping view of the Rocky Mountains at the rim of the valley.

Mrs. Robert Price, a young graduate in architecture rvho is married to a registered architect in Tacoma, \\rash., t'on r first prize of $2,500 for her plans to re-do the basement of her modern suburban home. Her sketches sl-rowed tight planning in space allotmepts for appropriate built-ins, a home-workshop, gardening center, canning room, dark room and all-purpose playroom. Price rvill get the architectural commission on the jcb r.nd she rvill receive a $750 bonus for completing the work.

In Quincy, Mich. Richard B. Olney won a similar prize for his ideas on an efficient plyu,ood kitchen in his 60-yearoid trvo-story farm home Olney, lvho will get the same prize as Mrs. Price, showed a clever nerv kitchen space arrang'ement to eliminate traffic problems .lvith provision for a workmanlike and efficient arrangement of plyu'ood t'uilt-ins and appliances.

Second prizes in these same classifications ranged from $500 to $750 with bonuses to rvinners for completing the n'ork from $250 to $400. Winners included:

New Mexican Conservation Organization

An important stepconcerning the renewable natural resources of Mexico was taken in Mexico City, on October 27, with the inauguration of the Instituto Mexicano cle Recursos Naturales Renovables (Mexican Institute of Re_ newable Natural Resources). This Institute, sponsored by leading Mexican conservationists, and the Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Foundation, of Washington, D.C., will serve as a coordinating agency for resource activities in Mexico, and its functions will include the study of conservation problems, and the direction of campaigns of information and education for rational resource management.

fncorporated on August 29, 1952, under Mexican law, the Institute ha.s a board of trustees made up of Eduardo Villasenor, presiflent; Edmundo J. phelan and Carlos Trouyet, vice presidents ; Gonzalo Robles, Alfredo Medina, B. Lagos, and Professor Enrique Beltran, secretary of the board, rvho has been named director of the Institute.

Funds for organizing the Institute will be derived from an initial grant of $100,000 made by the Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Foundation, provided an equal amount can be raised in Mexico. This grant is the latest evidence of the Foundation's long-standing interest in Mexican con_ servation problems. Nearly a quarter-century ago tl-re Foun_ dation made a preliminary survey of Mexican forests, and in recent years Mr. Randolph G. pack, president of the Foundation, has spent much time in Mexico conferring with officials, educators, and conservationists concerning steps that rnight be taken to establish a definite conseivation policy for halting'the resource destruction which threatens Mexico's already insufficient agricultural land. In 1950, the executive director of the Foundation, Mr. Tom Gill, made a study of the Mexican natural resource situation, later published in English as Land Hunger in Mexico. and in Spanish as La Crisis de La Tierra'en Mexico.

One of the early activities of the nerv Institute will be to make an inventory of Mexican renewable natural re_ sources, to investigate their condition, and to study the principal factors treatening their destruction or reduction. as n'ell as the most favorable techniques for securing maxi_ mum yields.

Although, according to Mr. pack, some very interesting work in conservation has been done by Mexican Govern-ment agencies, none of these agencies is organized in a way that would permit them to deal exclusively with coordinatei study of conservation problems. Thus, he states, tl.re work of the Institute r,vill be in no sense competitive with that now being carried on by Nlexican Government agencies, the United Nations and USA point IV programs; his hope is, rather, that the Institute may serve to reinforce con_ servation efforts already under $,,ay; through its functions of correlation and integration, and especially through its educational activities.

c(That nest egg can be in the form of U. S. Defense Bonds-a patriotic equivalent of-cash. Defense-bond dollars grow. Americans who enroll in th^e Payroll Savings Plan becorne shareho"lders in Uncle Sam, Inc. With their chips in the [ame they are helping the country to deal with problerns of finance and inflation. As investors in the nation they are more apt to vote for wise government polieies to safeguard their investment.'

Certainly every American should have a nest egg-and millions of them will: over 7,000,000 employed men and women, enrolled members of the Payroll Savings Plan, are putting aside approximately $150,000,000 per month in the improved U. S. Defense Bonds.

And there is no safer, better way to make dollars grow: the cash value of Series E Bonds held by indiiiduals on December 31, 1951, amounted to- $34.8 billion-$4.8 billion more than the cash value of Series E Bonds outstanding in August, 1945.

Employers, too, benefit from the Payroll Savings Plan: the Payroll Saver is a serious worker. He thinks twice before he takes a day off-he's mindful of the effect on his take-home savings. He's a more careful worker-he ruants to keep off tf,e accident list. Records

show that as employee participation increases, absenteeism and "Lost Time Accidents" decrease and the production curve goes up.

Call for a report on your Payroll Savings Plan. What is the percentage of employee participation? Is the plan being brought to the attention of new employees?

If your percentage is less than 50%, phone, wire or write to Savings Bond Division, U. S. Treasury Department, Suite 700, Washington Building, Washington, D. C. Your State Director will explain how easy it is to conduct a person-to-person canvass that will put a Payroll Savings Blan[ in the hands of every one of your employees. That's all you have to do. Your employees will do the rest-they want to join the plan that provides for their security.

Recommended Commercial Standard

A Recommended Commercial Standard for Standard Stock Double-Hung Wood Window Units has been circulated by the Commodity Standards Division, Office of Industry and Commerce, to manufacturers, distributors and other interested groups for their review and comment, the U. S. Department of Commerce reported recently.

This voluntary standard was proposed last April by the Atlantic Millwork Institute; the National Woodworl< Manufacturers Association; the Southern Sash and Door Jobbers Association; and the Woodwork Jobbers Service Bureau, and a proposed draft was mailed to various interested organizations on May 20, 1952. The Recommended Standard has been adjusted to meet the consensus of views of all interested groups, and is being circulated to the trade for their written acceptance in order that it may become more widely effective through establishment as a Commercial Standard and publication by the U. S. Department of Commerce.

The standard provides minimum requirements for doublehung vvood window units. A windorv unit is composed of a frame, window, weather stripping, balancing device, screen and/or storm sash, which has been completely assembled into a properly operating unit.

A limited number of mimeographed copies of the Recommended Standard are available, and a copy may be obtained as long as the supply lasts. from the Commodity Standards Division, Office of Industry and Commerce, U. S. Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D. C.

CPR 22, SR 37--Asbestos Cement Products

The Office of Price Stabilization authorized and industrywide earnings standard ceiling price increase adjustment of 5rl per cent for manufacturers of certain asbestos cement products.

The 5l per cent increase is applied to ceiling prices established by these manufacturers under the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR).

The increased ceiling prices may, in many cases, be reflected at the consumer level on the basis of the increased cost' to wholesalers and 'retailers, plus their customary markup as permitted under the so-called Herlong amendment to the Defense Production Act, which permits wholesalers and retailers to reflect in their ceiling prices the markup which they had in effect during the pre-Korea base period

The products covered are: asbestos cement siding and clapboards, roofing shingles, flat sheets, corrugated sheets and asbestos cement accessories used in connection with these products.

The action is covered by Supplementary Regulation 37 to tlre manufacturers' Ceiling Price Regulation 22. It became effective October 21, 1952.

Although manufacturers have established ceilings for these products under CPR22, they have generally continued to sell at GCPR prices, as premitted by the regulation.

The supplementary regulation issued today provides an increase adjustment of 515 per cent applied to ceilings established under GCPR.but otherwise manufacturers of these

products will continue to be subject to the provisions of CPP. 22, except as to the changed piice.

The action is the result of an industry earnings standard study made by OPS at the request of the industry. This study indicated a substantial decrease in earnings due to increased costs for imported asbestos fibre arrd some increase in costs for labor and freight. It was determined that an increase of 5l per cent in ceiling prices established under GCPR is necessary to restore earnings to 85 per cent of the average earnings in the best three of the four years 1946-.49, as required under the agency's industry earnings standard formula.

The 5l per cent ceiling price adjustment under todav's SR 37 reflects increases in metals and outbound transportation costs. Accordingly, manufacturers may not use both the 5l per cent adjustment, and adjustments for increased outbound transportation rates, such as provided for under SR's 28 and 35 to CPR 22 and SR's 106 and 122 to. the GCPR, or adjustments for increased metals cost under General Overriding Regulation 35.

Whot con your builder leorn from o two-loed sloth?

Gt ,"*" is a slow-moving, exclusively arboreal edentate mammal. It inhabits the tropical forests of South and Central America. Its limbs are long and provided with _- long curved claws. The ears and the - tail are rudimentary. The hair is long, coarse, and crisp, greenish brown or gray in color, closely harmonizing with the moss and foliage in the trees. The sloth hangs from the branches back downward in order to locate choice leaves, fruits and berries on which he feeds to his heart's content.

Yes, the sloth looks und.er the coverage to get at the real value he's after. Builders who look und,er the roof covering they use wil also find the meat of an important coconut! Under most types of roof covering, they find that solidsheathing is an absolute requirement. Under a cedar shingle roof, sheathing boards are spaced so that only half as much lumber is required.

Yes, the cost of spaced sheathing is only about half as much as solid sheathing. And it costs much less to apply! You can count on saving about $200 on sheathing and its application when you roof this year's typical house with cedar shingles. Normally, you will find that this saving more than makes up for the difference in cost of quality cedar over substitute material.

Now-sharpen your pencil. Figure it out for yourself. Figure the comparative costs of cedar shingles laid^ on spaced slrcathing as against substitutc roofing applied on solid slrcathing. You'll find that savings on sheathing make a roof of CERTIGRADE cedar shingles a very economical buy. For your free "Roof Cost Estimating" form, write:

New \(/ood P reservative

To Be Heavilv Advertised

Many of the world's great inventions or scientific discoveries came about by accident, \\'e are told. And it was cluite by accident that Chemonite, nerv salt type wood preservative, came into being.

More than 25 years ago a teal.n of University of California agricultural scientists, conducting experiments to combat certain diseases in fruit trees, found that their copper and arsenic compound seemed to preserve wood perfectly against fungus rot and termite attack.

Then, for many years, exacting tests rvere carried on under the most severe service and climatic conditions possible to devise.

The neu, u'ood preservative, Chemonite, came through rvith flying colors !

Recently national treating and licensing rights to Chemonite wel.e secured by J. H. Baxter & Co., West Coast producers of pressure treated forest products.

According to officials of the Baxter Company, Chem-

onite offers a combination of advantages unequalled by any other salt preservative.

Its formula is pou'erfully destructive to both insect life and fungus growth, yet Chemonited rvood is l-rarrnless to animals, or to humans rvho handle it. The copper-arsenic salts, rvhen deposited deep in the r.r'ood cells by vacuumpressure impregnation, are non-leaching, that is, they r,vill not wash out of the 'ivood in the presence of u'ater to any appreciable extent. This is a great advantage not possessed by most other salt preservatives. Because of this nonleaching property, wood pressure treated rvith Chemonite gives maximum performance in contact .ivith the moist g:ound or even in water, that is, for use as fence posts, u,ater tanks, flumes, etc.

In addition Chemonite is a relativelv inexpensive n'ood treatment, and one which results in a clean, odorless, nonoily, paintable, and non-irritating r,vood product.

Its prime uses, according to Baxter spokesmen, are for foundation lumber in homes, poles, bridge and mine timbers, fence posts, corrals and othei farm structures, and u'herever a clean, paintable, non-oily (or salt-type) lvood preservative is indicated

J. H. Baxter and Co. have great faith in the future of Chemonite. One of the largest advertising campaigns ever launched by a West Coast n'ood preserving concern is in preparation for 1953, officials state.

A populor booth ct the Western Living cnd Home Exposition. held re:ently in the Civic Auditorium, Scn Fr<rncisco, wcs this Pressure Trected Lumber display by I. tt. Bcxter qnd Co. Fecturing c new wood preservqlive, Chemonite, the booth attracted record crowds with a demon- strction oI "Live Termites At Work."

Northern California Section, SAF, Will Hold Annual Meeting Nov. 29

Berkeley, November 7-Reforestation, high-altitude logging, forest taxation, and research needs in California will highlight the program when the Northern California Section, Society of American Foresters, holds its annual meeting at the Leamrngton Hotel in Oakland, November 29.

"These topics are of vital concern to foresters responsible for the timber harvest which in recent years has made California the Nation's second highest lumber-producing state," said Section Chairman, Henry J. Vaux, associate professor of forestry at the University of California, in announcing the program.

Foresters from the Sacramento area are in charge of the meeting under program chairman George Craig. They have arranged four day-time sessions and an evening banquet, which rn'ill be addressed by Brutus Hamilton, athletic director of the University of California.

Morning sessions feature two panel discussions. C)ne, led by Dean Frederick S. Baker of the University of California School of Forestry, will describe recent developments in forest tree seedir-rg and planting.

Vaux said reforestation is one of California's most perplexing forestry problems. Seed-eating rodents, the climate, and luxuriant growth of shrubby plants, he said, have so far prevented successful planting on much of the trvo million acres of land in the State which are potential planting sites.

Harvesting timber and manufacturing lumber from the white and red fir trees growing in high-elevation forests will be discussed by the second morning panel. This is a new problem to most foresters, according to Vaux, becanse mostly pine and redwood forests have been logged up to now. Logging is now increasing in the fir forests, so it is especially timely to discuss what is known.

Hovr,' taxation of cut-over lands and young timber affects forest industries and state and county governments is the first topic for afternoon sessions. State Forester DeWitt Nelson l'ill be moderator of this panel, whose members include E. T. F. Wohlenberg, vice-president and general manager of Nfasonite Corporation, Ukiah; John H. Keith, chief of the division of assessment standards, State Board of Equalization; and Harold B. Elliott, Butte County assessor, of Oroville.

Final session of the day rvill hear a report by a special committee of foresters, headed by Stephen N. Wyckoff,

New Owner

P. J. Skill, who has been associated with the Sierra Lumber Co. at 7053 E. Firestone Blvd., Downey, is now the new owner of the company, succeeding "Chuck" Collins who has retired from the lumber business.

Amendment 2 to G.O.R.-34, Exemption Of Certain \(/ood Product Specialties

The Office of Price Stabilization today announced exemption from price control of several wood product specialties. '

The exempted items are:

Aromatic red cedar lumber, when sold by primary producers.

Wood and combined wood and paper cigar boxes.

Persimmon blocks used in the manufacture of textile machine shuttles, golf blocks and rough turned golf heads.

The exemptions are specified in Amendment 2 to the General Overriding Regulation 34, effective October 17.

The action was taken principally because the burden of maintaining price controls is not justifiable in vierv of the minor importance of the items to the stabilization program.

Aromatic red cedar is used mainly for manufacture into cedar linings for closets, chests and wardrobes. Exemption 'of this item will probably have no effect on the price of other lumber, and controls will be exercised at subsequent levels of distribution and processing.

Production of wood and part wood cigar boxes is srnall, due largely to widespread use of other types of containers. The boxes are but a small element of cost in the retail price of cigars. The exemption does not apply to cigar boxes made wholly of paper or paperboard

Persimmon shuttle blocks, golf blocks and rough tunred golf heads, are produced by only a few firms.

Revised Minimum Property Requirements

The Los Angeles office of the FHA has revised copies of its Minimum Property Requirements which will be issued to mortgagees, architects, builders and others connected rvith the building industry who are qualified to receive them.

The revised Minimum Property Requirements are to be ellective rvith respect to all cases received on and after November l, 1952. As certain changes have been made, for example in the minimum acceptable size of rvater heaters, it is essential that builders and others familarize tl.remselves rvith these changes.

Since revisions in tl-re Minimun.r Property Requirements are made from time to time, it is suggested that those rvho u'ish a copy of the current edition make a postal card rectuest, giving their name, address and the business in 'ivhich tl.rey are engaged so that revisions applicable to their rvork may be sent them when issued. These cards will be retained in a file for that purpose. For this reason telephone requests rn'ill not be honored.

New Rules For Hunters

To the man who loves a bird dog and a gun, the "Gates of Paradise" are open. The season for fatal accidents, caused by the careless handling and use of guns, is also open. I A true sportsman is a prince among men whom it is a phasure to meet, and a joy to know.

The following rules for the guidance of novices have been compiled by an old timer who thinks he knows about accidents.

1. Always leave your gun loaded and cocked when you get into a car. If it goes off, the fellow on the back seat will not say anything to you, or anyone else.

2. When you stop to roll a pill or light your pipe lean the muzzle of your gun against your vest. When youi dog paws the trigger your troubles will be over.

3. When you see a bunch of decoys, pretend they are ducks. Work around in front of them for a pot shot. Aim high. You may get the guy in the blind behind them.

4. If you want to club a possum with your gun, don't bother to unload it. It will unload itself when you hit him. You won't have any more use for possum.

5. If you see something moving along the top of the high grass, take a crack at it, it may be a duck walking on stilts. The other fellow has no business trying to sneak up to your lake, anyway.

6. When you pull your gun through a barbed wire fence by the rnuzzle, drag it over a nice long barb that will reach the trigger. You won't have to bother about climbing over that fence again.

7. Ti. a shell jams in your automatic or the action hangs on your pump be sure and point it toward some one while you are trying to jerk it loose. You will be sure to get him.

8. When you sit down by your car for lunch, lean your gun against the fender with a good slant. When anyone steps on the running board it will be sure to fall. The result may not be fatal, but there is a chance.

Ecrrthqucrke

I never understood how man could dare To watch a city shaken to the ground, To feel the tremors, hear the tragic sound Of houses twisting, crashing everywhere, And not be conquered by a sick despair; Although his building crumble to a mound Of worthless ruins, man has always found The urge to build i stronger city there.

Mcrking OI Friends

If nobody smiled and nobody cheered And nobody helped us along, ff each, every moment, looked after himself, And good things all went to the strong, If nobody cared just a little for you, And nobody thought about me, And we all stood alone in the battle of life, What a dreary old world it would be: Life is sweet, just because of the friends we have made, And the things which in common we share.

\Me want to live on, not because of ourselves, But because of the people who care, It's giving and doing for somebody elseOn all that life's splendor depends, And the joy of this world, when you've summed it all up, Is round in the *"Y,rT"TTl*;" Hayden.

Three Grand Reasons

A young man who was asked to have a drink declined for three specific reasons: first, he'd promised his wife not to take a drink; second, he'd promised his doctor he would quit drinking; and third, he had just had a couple of drinks and couldn't carry any more.

He Quit tving

Officer: "What's your name?" Defendant: "John Smith." Officer: "Come on, come on; don't give me any of that; what's your real name?" Defendant: "Well then, just put me down as William Shakespeare." OfEcer: "That's better. Don't try to fool me with that Smith stuff, see?"

Where From

Scientists say perpetual motion is impossible; but if it is how does all that money keep coming from the United States treasury?

DirtY

Gertie: "I refused to marry Bob last month and he's been drunk ever since." Babe: "Seems to me thht's carrying a celebration too far."

Record Load o[ Redwood Logs

The Union Lumber Co. records the largest known load of logs to be delivered in the Redwood region. It was loaded by M. Luebberke & Co. and hauled from the Jackson Valley operation to the mlIl 26 miles in distance. The haul was entirely on the company's private road, the first portion of which was so crooked it was known as the Burma Road. The truck is a Peterbilt with a Reliance trailer, has l8 tires and a 300 horsepower Cummins diesel engine.

The truck is ensineered to haul loads of at least a hun-

dred tons, up to 24,000 board feet, at a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour. The logs pictured were forty feet long and are approximately seven, eight. and nine feet in diameter respectively. 53,670 board feet was the official scale, or enough to build five or six small houses. Estimated 'rveight of the logs was 375,6m pounds, more than 185 tons. The combined truck and load tipped the scales at 42l,610 pounds. The load was 21 feet high and 19 feet wide.

Installs Second Dry Kiln

The Neal Creek Lumber Company, who operate a mill in the upper Hood River Valley, recently have completed installation of their second Moore Cross-Circulation Dry Kiln.

These kilns are of the bverhead Cross-Circulation type, each room 77' wide x 52, long inside measurements. The buildings are constructed with tile walls and woof roof supported by wood trusses. These two kilns are heated with an automatic oil fired boiler operated at 10 to 13 pounds pressure. Hemlock dimension is dried in 96 hours to a final average moisture content of 16 per cent.

During the month of July the oil requirements for drying hemlock dimension averaged $1.6O per thousand for the lumber going through the kiln.

Geo. Raycraft is in charge of the kiln operation and states that these new kilns and boiler can be operated with minimum attention. No fireman or kiln operator is in attendance at night, although the watchman makes regular trips to the kiln room and boiler room.

The Neal Creek Lumber Company is operated by Nelson Emry, who advises that the kilns are proving a profitable investment and enables them to hold their lumber inventory to a minimum and ship properly seasoned lumber promptly to their customers.

Launch Fall Sales Promotion Campaign

Tacoma, Wash.-West coabt plywood manufacturers will cut loose this month (November) with a $10O,000 fall sales promotion calculated to send 1952 retail plywood sales to an all-time high.

The industry is pyramiding its spectacular year-end push on top of a continuing sales promotion.program which already has reached record levels this year. The brain-child 9f W. E. Difford, qew qanaging director of the industry's trade association, the promotion will dramdtize plywood 'as "today's best buy" for fall building jobs like remodeling, boats, farm buildings and Christmas shop projects.

consumer advertising is the most spectacular phase of the campaign, trade advertising and promotion to builder should be equally profitable to dealers.

"Many alert builders," it said, "have already capitalized on the combination of the value in structural grades of plywood with the FHA's recent action recognizing 3/8" plywood over a two-foot span as fully adequate for roof decking. Some builders, for example, report labor savings as high as 50/o in using plywood for roof decking in this way."

'

."In terms of end-use value," Difford said, "fir plywood is the bargain building material. As our advertising points out, a spare-time craftsman can bgild a luxurious wardrobe ,with less than $55 for the plywood or a striking storage table for under $10 for plywood. This means that with the cost of living and building continuing to rise, practical fir plywood is the economical ally of both professional and amateur builders."

Difford, the man whose sensitive "feel for the market" helped the plywood industry pull itself up by the bootstraps in the late '30's, said the new sales push will exploit this advantage to the limit with national advertising and "best buy" dealer tie-in sales tools. In announcing its program, the association declared:

"With plywood in ample supply, it is an equally good fall bargain for the builder. One big Detroit contractor, for example, calculates a saving in labor and materials of $120 a house with fir plywood wall and roof sheathing."

The campaign breaks in mid.November with full-page ads in national magazines directing readers to their lumber dealers for plywood. Meantime, the industry witl supply dealers with a neat "best buy" tie-in promotion package in time for them to roll on the local level with the opening salvo.

Difford explained his "God helps those who help the dealer" sales philosophy by pointing out that the nation's 27,WO retail lumber dealers sell about 50 per cent of total fir plywood output and sales this year will approach 3 billion square feet.

"That's why the ads will stress that Douglas fir plywood is available everywhere at local retail lumber yards. And that's why the industry will offer dealers the kind of downto-earth, practical tie-in sales tools they need to transform the interest in plywood stimulated by "best buy" advertising into new business," the association said.

Consumer advertising includes full and half page ads with more than 5 million total impressions and "best buy" trade advertising to contractors, builders, farmers, businessmen and other dealer markets. The dealer promotion kit bulges with "best buy" window streamers, a consumerstopping hanging display, newspaper ad mats and radio commercials. Sample copies of remodeling literature and build-it-yourself plans from ping-pong tables to boats are prominently featured in the consumer ads and offered in the kit.

The association emphasized that although the direct

Difford, who feels that the "buy now" campaign may be one of the best things the industry has ever done for the dealers, started the ball rolling within two weeks after re-assuming the managing director's. post. The manufacturers lured him away from his own plywood and lumber sales business in September when O. Harry Schrader, Jr., resigned as managing director of the trade association to take on a top-level management post with one of the plywood firms. Difford had previously been managing director from 1938 to 1946.

Blue Diamond Corporation to Expand

N. J. Redmond, president of Rlue Diamond Corporation, announces expansion of plant facilities in Nevada to provide additional gypsum lath, wallboard, and plaster production capacity. The new production program will permit the company to broaden its market and a San Francisco sales office will be opened in the near future.

Blue Diamond began manufacturing gypsum plaster in Los Angeles in 1922, using gypsum rock from the Imperial Valley. In 1924 the company began mining gypsum in the Spring Mountain range near Las Vegas, Nevada, shippitrg the gypsum rock to the Los Angeles plant. Gypsum lath, wallboard, and plaster plants were ,constructed at the company's mine site in 1941. Six years later demand for gypsum products had so increased that facilities were added to provide substantial additional production.

Blue Diamond's company owned village "Cottonwood Springs" in the vicinity of the mines and plants, is known throughout the mining industry as a leading example of fine housing for employees. Additions to the Village accommodations to house the increased personnel needed to operate the new plant facilities are being made.

Today's plans, Mr. Redmond says, were md.de possible by the strong demand of the construction industry.for Blue Diamond's quality gypsum product.;. and the company intends to strive. constantly to improve this relationship.

stamp used in the grading of lumber. This is bound to result in a better cabinet helping to increase the standards of the industry.

\{r. Shoemaker has done much that u.i11, in the years to colne, prove beneficial to the cabinetmakers, in the rvay of ir-rcreased public relations, better representation for labor negotiations, and always increasing the stanclards.

He told of Hammond's reforestation progran-r. The company has 22,m0 acres of tree farrns nor,, and a program of re{oresl.ation for 47,000 more cut-over acres. Hammond has enough old gron,th timber to carry on operations for a generation or trvo. Then operations will be cor.rtinued from timber now being developed.

He statecl that seeds cost $10 per pound. The squirrels knou' the cones that contain ripe, fertile seeds. \\rhen they gnau. them off and let them fall, men pick them up and extract the good seed. Then the planting must be protected against field mice, rvho eat their orvn ileight in a day, or deer, rvho bro'rvse on babv trees.

Stripe Mahogany, Ash, and Philippine Mahogany Competitively priced, the door is expected to be very popular in this area.

Honolulu Fitm Opeirs' : Retcdl Snles Center

Hawaii Builders Supply Co., Honolulu building supply firm, recently opened a $100,000 retail sales center with an ,invitational party, attended by 700 building trades leaders and civic dignitaries.

Heavy riewspaper display space, arranged with cooperation of several of the firm's Mainland suppliers, drew large crowds to the subsequent two day open house.

Albert F. Hastings heads the firm, which was founded in 1946. Sales have increased substantially every year. The new facilities are expected to attract an even heavier share of Honolulu's retail building materials volume.

Two distinct newspaper advertising campaigns are qti- ' lized, one slanted 'toward retail customers and the other designed to reach contractors. The firm currently is sponsoring Sam Hayes' transcribed weekly quarter hour sports program on a Honolulu radio station.

Dearborn, Chicago 5, Illinois, and 99 Wall Street, Nerv York 5, N. Y.' publishers of this service, advise that as compared with the previous issue there are an unusual number of changes affecting the various branches of the industry including many newly listed sawmills, some of which are brand new sources of lumber, others are mills rvhich have resumed their operations.
