As usual, the distribution of this big issue will be a little later, but it should be in the hands of all our subscribers and advertisers not later than December 10. If you haven't received your Christmas Merchant by that date, then you can call us and we'll make sure that you get yours.
_ Portland-The report for the third quarter, 1959, pro- duction and shipments of Western Piine region lumber products, and estimate of probable fourth quarter shipm-ents, issued by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association, states the boom in ihe lumber industry tapered ofi somewhat during the third quarter, along with the rate of new housing starts. It is difficult to estimate how much of this slowing down is due to the big steel strike, with the resulting drbp in general business_activity, and how much is due to riiing interest rates and a shortage of money for home loans.
Though the seasonally adjusted rate of housing starts slipped from a high of 1,478,W units in May to 1,3,{0,000 units in August, the rate is still reasonably satisfactory. Availability of mortgage mone| seemed to be more of -a limiting factor than does any shortage of buyers for new homes. Therefore, settlement of the steel strike, with a resulting upsurge in business activity and demands for credit, may not be of any help so far as housing is concerned. A further slow decline is expected, the report said.
Industrial demand for lumber will benefit from a strike settlement. Manufacturers of millwork and mouldings, along with other users of Selects and Shop, are taking a satisfactory volume of those grades. The increasing rate of commercial and industrial building is boosting the already good demand for heavy roof decking. Box factories in central \Arashington are having a poor year but those serving the much larger market in California have had more business than they could readily handle.
Preliminary estimates place regional lumber production during the third quarter at25ffi million feet, up 5.2/o from Iast year's third quarter. For the first three quarters of the year, production of 6754 million feet was up l3.l/o from a year

-paul B. Fritchey Palm Avenue Lumber Co. Alhambra. Calif.ago. Third quarter shipments were about 2400 million feet, up 7.9/o from a relatively good third quarter last year. Year-to-date shipments of 6825 million feet showed an increase of 12.8/o. Gross stocks at the end of September were approximately 1938 million feet, only a little below the 1953 million on hand last year. Surplus stocks of the factorv grades of pine were t6e big problem last year. Now there is a shortage of these grades and the higher Board grades are more plentiful than shippers would like.
Based upon the above factors and all other available information upon prospective demand, it seems probable that, during the fourth quarter of 1959, shipmenls (con- sumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 2050 million feet, or about the same as in the last quarter of 1958, the report concluded.
Black Bart Hoo-Hoo Club 181 met at El 'n Lou's Roost in Ukiah the evening of September 30, with the election of officers and directors for the coming year the first order of business.

Spectacular results from full-color ads like this in POST have already proyen the sales potential of the "second home" market
...over 30,000,000 face-to-face ad reader impressions per issue
THIS TREND SETTING PRoToTIoN is another example of DFPA's creatiue approach to building your sales.
DFPA market tests made last year proved American families were ready to accept the "second-home" idea. Developmental work with architects, realtors and financial agencies clearly indicated these facts:
o The second home market is ripe, ready-and due to grolo. ft's based on the same modern appeal that has skyrocketed sales of boats and other leisure products.
o The second home market is alumber dealer market. It can be sold and controlled by you-exclusively. No sharp-pencil bidding required. Largely, do-ityourself in nature, it is ideal for package selling.
o The second home market is a aolume marhet. Materials for a typical fir plywood vacation house represent a sizeable-and profitable-order.
DFPA's colorful consumer advertising in POST, built on these facts, has been underway only a few months. Already, results have far outstripped original-and optimistic-forecasts. Inquiries have poured in by the tens of thousands from families who are ready, now, to start building their second home. Orpl will continue to lead with millions of dollars worth of consumer advertising, publicity and special promotions to capitalize on this interest-to make it grow-to build an entirely new market for the lumber dealers. Complete tie-in merchandising material is now being developed. For information write Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington.

(Ecclesiastes) "I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor yet the battle to the strong." The great Damon Runyon once quoted the preceding words, and then added: "But that's the way to bet your money."
Some characters are unforgettable. Never was this fact better illustrated than in the following historical story: The last words of the dying Confederate general, "Stonewall" Jackson, were, "Tell A. P. Hill to prepare for action." And years later, also dying, General Robert E. Lee uttered these last words, "Tell Hill he must come up." It was evident that Hill, one of their most-trusted lieutenants, remained to the last in the thoughts of those two great soldiers.
And there are many men in this day and generation who have so much respect for the truth that they use it sparingly. '& '13 'F
There is no duty we under-rate so much as the duty of being happy.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

BY JACK DIONNEpole: "The atrocious crime of being a young man which the honorable gentleman has, with such spirit and decency, charged upon me, I shall neither attempt to palliate or deny; but content myself with hoping that it may be one whose follies cease with youth, and not of that number who are ignorant in spite of experience." ***
An enthusiast once addressed himself to the great Doctor Johnson, loudly praising a recent book written by a friend. He asked Johnson: "Do you think that any other man in this day and age could have written that book?" And Johnson replied: "Many -"",

Wisdom means knowing the difference between pulling your freight, and throwing your weight around. ***
A politician is often one who builds a drop of knowledge into a torrent of opinion.*
"And what," asked the newly announced political candidate, "do people say about my candidacy?" "Nothing," gravely replied his friend; "they just sorta laugh."
The law of tooth and fang, so fearfully illustrated in recent decades by the Commies, has now spread like the plague that it is to nations farther east, where six-hundredmillion Chinese, together with countless people in other nations, have claimed it as their own. Old Genghis Khan would have marveled at what goes on where his hordes were but a handful by comparison.
And there was the man who was so completely blase and unconcerned that he "wouldn't give a nickel to see a cyclone, nor a dime to stop an earthquake."

Things have really changed. Today the beautiful new building covers an area of 9500 square feet of floor space and is modern in every detail for the self-service shopper.
The Il acre yard sports a new rigid pole lumber storage shed, a mill and a five-section steel waiehouse and finished lumber shed. The yard facilities encompass more than 62,N0 square feet of workable storage arel and it requires seven units of mobile equipment, including five delivery trucks and two lift trucks, to service the demands of the customers.
Under the capable supervision of yard manager, Andy Chavez, a perpetual inventory record is maintained and time-saving methods are employed. All items such as roofing, cement and nails are stored in the warehouse on
pallets for fast efficient handling and loading. Racks are used for small items of lumber and moulding and all work in the yard is conducted on a time-study plan to eliminate waste in labor, as well as waste of inventorv.
The beautiful new frame and stucco stor6 building features a wide expanse of glass across the front and iwide entranc_e gff t_h," parking lot, where customer parking is available for 25 to 35 cars. The exterior of th-e buildine sports special masonry work, which includes columns oJ stone at either side of the front, specially built of materials from Utah and Pennsvlvania.

Adequately painted with linseed-oil-base house paint, Masonite siding will retain its original beauty indefinitely, resisting the ravages of weather. This remarkable weatherability of Masonite sidings is the reason architects and builders continue to choose it time and again.

Making even more complete the. variety of surface treatments available to rbuilders in the Weyerhaeuser line of hardboards, the company has announced new striated and grooved styles for exterior and interior use. A U-Grooved pattern has been developed for both the smooth and the new finecombed, striated tempered Wey- tex, creating striking vertical efiects in siding, patio paneling, and other applications calling for all-weather beauty outdoors.
Completing the new additions to the line are Weytone prefinished hardboards in both ternpdred and standard types. The new Weytone hardboards are finished to a deep-lustre sheen that needs no further surface treatment for use as wall Paneling, cabinetwork or other highquality application.

as the door on which it is instal1ed.
Installation is a matter of minutes. There are no interlocking pieces to adjust. The strip comes in a standard pack with each length already mitred on one end. The strip is merely cut to size and screwed to the door. Screw slots allow adjustment to the "wind" of the jamb and to any warp found in the door.
Already the Pemko strip has been used in marry ways by a local firm, Parker Weatherstrip of San F,rancisco. who call it the best development of the past several years, They have used the strip to close out elevator sounds and other noises from offices, to keep dust from rooms where delicate electronic equipment is assembled and from
n-redical laboratories, to soundproof corporate conference rooms as well as hotel rooms, to stop leaks and drafts, to lightproof X-ray rooms, and for other purposes.
Another firm specializing in weatherstripping of interior doors in commercial and industrial buildings, states that in oue year the weatherstripping can save enough money in cleaning bills alone to pay ,for itself. This is con6rmed by the maintenance superintendent of a large San lirancisco building, with a maintenance crew of 32, who states that it has reduced his dusting labor by more than 25/o.
Samples are available on request from Pemko Manufacturing Company, 5755 Landregan Street, Emeryville, California.
Tree Life hemlock, manufactured by St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., is now available treated with a special penetrating toxic water-repellent preservative, announces W. R. Garnett, general sales manager of the pioneer lumber firm. The new immersion treatment, according to Garnett, assures superior paint retention and dimensional stability for all applications exposed to weather or excess moisture. Typical uses for which the new Tree Life Treated lumber is recommended include all siding and exterior trim, framing, joists, and subflooring over crawl spaces.
The treating process used by St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., stabilizes the wood fibers b1* coating the cells with a material that efiectively resists water penetration. Penta repels or destroys mold or decay forming fungi, stains and insects. The material is not recommended. however, for uses where decay hazard. is high, such as wood in direct contact with the ground which requires pressure treatment for proper decay resistance. For more information about the new Tree Life Treated or untreated hemlock lumber, write St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma 1, Washington.
A new weatherstrip-unobtrusive, tough, and so efficient that it stops sounds, drafts, leaks, light and dust at both exterior and interior openings-has been developed by Pemko Manufacturing Company, Emeryville, California. It consists of a strip of aluminum alloy with a vinyl insert having four soft continuous ridges each of which molds itself to the door to provide excellent multiple insulative action.
The aluminum alloy takes paint well, according to Pemko, and may be pre-painted to the jamb color so that it is almost unnoticeable when installed. The pre-painting also permits the door to be used at once. The vinyl does not become soft nor sticky, as rubber frequently does, and it is too tough to "be picked at." Richard Emory, Pemko salesmanager, states that the new product should last as long

A clever arrangement of three augers and several wooden storage bins does the complete job of moving feed into a handling building, mixing any formula desired, and then moving the feed out into a self-unloading wagon. It's completely automatic. No need to touch a scoop shovel at all. There are four grain bins in the 29' by 30' building. Each end bin holds 500 bushels of shelled corn. Each of the other two bins hold either six tons of bulk supplement or 250 bushels of oats; several weeks' supply when cattle are on full feed. Floor space opposite the bins provides storage for any bagged commercial feeds or supplements. These can be dumped easily into the floor auger in front of the bulk bins.
The building cost llanselman
about $2,300, including labor. It's made of standard building lumber with clapboard siding. The wooden bin floors slope two feet from back to front so that feed flows easily. The auger system costs $535, with Hanselman doing his own welding. The augers cost $232; two electric motors, $288; and two used auto transmissions. $15. A three-horse motor drives the lower horizontal and vertical augers, with a onehorse unit handling the overhead auger. Horizontal augers are six inches in diameter and the vertical auger, 12 inches.
A long-needed selector chart for those who wish to write or make marks on almost every type of industrial material has just been created by the Joseph Dixon Crucible Co., and is available free on request. The chart shows at a glance the proper type of marker (crayon, chalk, or industrial pencil) to use on metals, woods, concrete, plaster, stone, rock, tile, macadam, asphalt, paper, paperboard, cardboard, glass, plastics, etc. The chart also indicates which marker to use when the material is hot, normal, cool or cold; slick or shiny; dry, damp, wet or immersed; smooth or rough; laminated, coated or glazed, and rigid or flexible. There are also selections for heavy duty and light duty markers. For quick selection, one side of the chart lists the types of materials and their condition, with code numbers indicated. The other side indicates which type of marker to use, as indicated by the code nurnber.
Both the selector chart and a new, six-page catalogue which lists and illustrates the company's full line of industrial markers are available free by writing Dept. CSC, Joseph Dixon Crucible Co., Jersey ,City 3, N. J.

A firebug's efforts to burn the King-Marshall Lumber Co. in Bakersfield, Calif., resulted in approximately $200 damage to the yard and a term in the Chino prison for the arsonist. The 27-year old theatre usher admitted setting fire to a stack of grape stakes at the L Street yard in the early morning of Sept. 29. He was arrested at the fire scene by officers who said he acted in a suspicious manner. Early discovery of the fire prevented more serious loss to the yard, reports Larry King.

It's a top product in its fleld, offering the finest selection of patterns and colors. Best of all, the Panelyte people give you tried-and-true merchandising material. In recent months, by using the Panelyte promotion kit, I've seen my dealer business increase by L50% I I recommend that every enterprising dealer take advantage of these sure-fire sales boosters."
Why not contact lyour Panelyte distributor today? He has Panelyte displays and mailings by the dozens, designed to sell fabricators, builders, home owners and cabinet makers on America's style leader in plastic laminates. They're all yours for the using and bound to pay off in profits !
The role of the wholesale lumberman in urban redevelopment was discussed by William J. Lloyd, vice-president of the United States National Bank, at the most recent meeting of the Wholesale Lumbermen's Association of Southern California.
"Urban redevelopment is not only a topic of discussion but, in reality, a necessity, especially here in Southern California," Lloyd stated. To back this up, he went on to point ollt our present freeway system and its relationship to suburban living. Freeways were built for 15,000 cars per lane, per l-rour. With a little slide rule calculation it isn't hard to see that the estimated 12 million cars in California bv 1970 are going to clog our freeways no end. This will cause, in tro small part, a movement of population back to cities where the commuting is easier.
Two things, then, are likely to happen, he said. Since the freeways literally built our cities, they will continue to do so, at a healthy rate. The downtown areas, however, will become centers for apartment buildings.
The demand for lumber in the outlying areas will continue at a high rate, maybe even a higher rate than at present. Tracts are being developed 40 miles, and even further, from large cities.
They have changed the complexion of towns like Monrovia, Arcadia, Pasadena and Covina, not to mention towns that didn't exist before the Second World War.
In the downtown areas, however, older districts will be torn down, and on their foundations will rise large "ownyoLlr-own" and rental apartments to take care of people who are not interested in driving two hours to and from work.
Lumber, obviously, will play a big role in this urban redevelopment. It might be interesting to see just how much lumber will be used. Even in New York's multimillion dollar steel skyscrapers, thousands of board-feet of lumber are used both for structure and ornamentation.
Lloyd concluded that the role of the lumberman is determined, largely, by his aggressiveness in selling his goods to an unlimited market.
Mr. Lloyd is also president of the Pasadena Civic Imtr)rovement Association.
The Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, reported October 27 that Retail sales in 1958 totaled 194 billion dollars. or 3o/o less than the inclicatecl total of 200 billion dollars based on the Bureau's Current Retail Trade Report, which is compiled each month during the year.
It is expected that the final state reports of the 1958 Census, to be released in December and January, will show a U.S. total that will fall within I/o of-the 206'billion clollars estimated from the Current Retail Trade Report.

"A Salute to the Nation's Lumber and Building Materials Dealers" will be presented as the opening announcement on the "Armstrong Circle Theatre" telecast, Wednesday, November 25. The program is carried by approximately 116 stations of the CBS Network and reaches an audience of some 20 million. The commercial will call attention to the wide variety of technical services offered by dealers in such areas as home planning, estimating, material selection, and installation. The message will also point out that lumber dealers, through close cooperation with local contractors, can provide not only the plans and materials, but also the particular skill necessary for any specialized construction job.
Timed to tie in with the Fall remodeling season, the salute is intended to encourage homeowners to see their lumber dealer whenever they are considering a building or remodeling project.
A special brochure announcing the "Salute" is being distributed by Armstrong to various lumber dealer associations throughout the country.
At a recent directors meeting of the Imported Hardwoocl Plywood Assn., Tom Parker of M. S. Cowan Co., and Dave Borum of Getz Bros. were elected to the board to fill two vacancies caused by transfers.

A carrier driver in the yard first spotted the blaze, and rnill workers removed most of the furniture and equipment from the lower floor office before the city and rural fire departments arrived. Even though the fire was quickly brought under control, the upper floor, which was used by visiting company officials, was completely gutted.

September construction continued to ride on high levels in the 13 Western states and British Columbia, with a strong $65,721,578 lead over the corresponding month in 1958, in the Western Building monthly survey of over 400 Western building jurisdictions.
Dwelling permit totals were up $22.2 million over the same period. A total of 393 more shelter unit permits were granted during September 1959 than in September 1958, with a corresponding drop for the month of 304 permits of all classes. Total dwelling-unit dollar volume was off from last August, however, indicating a greater proportion of the housing dollar going into higher-value construction.
The overall dollar volume total for September 1959 was V88,377,693, representing a 7.5/o rise over August, continuing a rising volume trend after July's slight slump.
Most impressive gains in total construction were noted in Arizona, with a l9/o rise over September 1958. Last month's Arizona total was $31.9 million. Montana posted a 93/o gain, although based on a smaller figure-$S million in September construction. Oregon showed a large jump in shelter construction, its September $11.5 million dwellingunit total was 46/o over September 1958.
In individual jurisdictions, Los Angeles maintained its usual first-place lead with a staggering $75,987,718 in total construction-more than twice its total for September 1958: followed by Los Angeles Cour,ty with a $19- million total. San Diego was third, followed by fast-rising Honolulu, where new plant construction raised the Hawaiian capital's total to $15.9 million.

"ouR, 71th YEAR"
eight years ago, recently confirmed by laboratory studies both in the U.S. and abroad, helped prevent the loss of a major redwood market to a competitive material. The market was the cooling tower industry, which uses millions of board feet of California redwood for the construction of cooling towers for the petroleum, petro-chemical and power industries. In 1950, because of the premature failure of some redwood cooling towers, the redwood lumber industry was threatened with the loss of this important business to the treated-wood industry.
An intensive field study, begun at that time by the California Redwood Association and the Cooling Tower Institute, revealed a hitherto unexplained surface deterioration of the wood in the flooded portions of certain towers. The Technical division staff of the CRA "guessed" that chlorine, which many operators add to tower circulating water to control the growth of algae, reduced the usually high decay resistance of redwood heartwood.
Operating practices on this "educated guess" have materially lengthened the service life of untreated redwood cooling towers, enabling redwood to retain a major share of the cooling tower market despite increased competition from preservative-treated wood.
Confirmation of the CRA position has come in recent months from the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory at I\fadison, Wisconsin, and the Forest Products Research Laboratory in Great Britain, at which independent studies showed that treatment with chlorine water makes coniferous woods susceptible to the soft rots which have caused so much damage to cooling towers. The CRA study was initiated by Byrne C. Manson, former Technical division manager for the CRA, and was carried on by Willard E. Pratt, Jack Behrens and William A. Dost of CRA's Technical division.
The Woodwork Institute of California has prepared a new brochure designed to assist the architect in the correct use of terms and phrases generally used in specifying architectural plywood. It gives a brief description of each term and graphically illustrates the method used to produce a specific type of veneer and the effect that each method has on the veneer to produce specific characteristics.
In the use of architectural plywood, the employment of

It is recommended that before designing and specifying architectural grade plywood, contact be made with either a W.I.C. member or the nearest office to determine availability and suitability of the various types of veneers and matches for the particular species of wood, reports O. E. Long, Architectural Services director.
The Department of Commerce reports that retail sales for September were 8/o higher than a year ago and, after allowing for seasonal factors and trading-day differences, were down 2/o lrom August. Inventories at the end of September were higher than 1958 but unchanged from August of this year.

From the vast rain forests of coastal British Columbia comes Western Red Cedar - the wood with "built-in" weather resistance. This exceptional durability combines with Red Cedar's light weight, working ease and high insulating properties to make it a natural choice for every type of construction, indoors and out. With its distinctive grain pafterns and warm "woody" color variations, Western Red Cedar may be stained, bleached, varnished or used as is to harmonize handsomely with any setting.

Jones: "Well, this is good news. My daughter writes that she has got herself a permanent job as bridesmaid to a film actress in Hollywood."
The recent widow called at the office of the life insurance company to collect for her late husband's insurance. The of_ ficer of the company, wishing to be sympathetic, said: "Mrs. Jones, I am very, very sorry about your husband's death."
Said the widow: "That's just like you men; you never like to see a woman make a little money."
I am old, bare of paint, and suffering all the pangs of age. What matters it that I know my timbers are sound. and that there is much strength in me yet? My doors sag, and the wind rattles my windows. I have stood vacant for months, mice play about my floors and spiders spin their webs undisturbed; a memory seems all that is left.
Then, unexpectedly, the rusty hinge on my front door groans as it is forced back; men enter with pencil, paper and rule. Low voices discuss walls and aimensions. ani I strain my old ears to hear. My heart is near to bursting with a hope of rejuvenation being born.
Then come days of pain as old partitions are wrenched apart, and confusion reigns. To the fountain of youth f am led, and today I stand again in my pride and strength, more beautiful in design and finish and just as sound as when first built.
_ A sign says the public may enter. And all day they come. The old with surprise and wonder in their faces. youth with hands tightly clasped, in their eyes the splendor of dreams as they plan a new life together.
My opening day is over, and again the hush. But what a different stillness. Now my rooms are filled with the sounds of happy voices, and again I listen to the patter of little feet. A day of happiness which began with the dawn has witnessed a miracle; a home reborn.
Teacher: "Johnny, if you are always polite to all your schoolmates, what would they think of you?',
Johnny: "They'd think they could lick me."
"You can tell the paper," the great man said, "I refused an interview; f have nothing to say on the subject, sir, Nothing to say to you."
And then he talked till the sun went down. And the chickens went to roost; And he seized the coat of the poor newsman, And never his hold he loosed.
And the sun went down and the moon came up, And he talked till the dawn of day; Though he said, ,,On this subject mentioned by you, f have nothing at all to say."
And down the reporter dropped to sleep, And flat on the floor he lay; And the last he heard was the great man's word: "I have nothing at all to say."
Officer: "You were driving 75 miles an hour, lady ! Don't you care anything about the law?,'
Young Thing: ,,Why, officer, how can I tell? I,ve only just met you."
Oh, the eagerness and freshness of youth ! How the boy enjoys his food, his sleep, his sports, his companions, his truant days ! His life is an adventure, he is widening his outlook, he is extending his dominion, he is conquerin-g tris kingdom !
How cheap are his pleasures, how ready his enthusiasm ! In boyhood I have had more delight on a haymow with two companions and a big dog, delight that came nearer in_ toxication, than I have ever had in all the subsequent holi_ days of my life. When youth goes and manhood comes, much comes with it. We exchange a world of delightfui impressions and sensations for a worrd of duties and sludies and meditatibns.
The youth enjoys what the man tries to understand. Lucky is he who can get his grapes to market and keep the bloom upon them; who can carry some of the freshness and eagerness and simplicity of youth into his later years, and who can have a boy's heart below a man's head.
