Vosl Recreotionql qnd Lumber Potentiol

Full development of the potential recreadion land on the Modoc, Sierra, and San Bernardino National,Forests in California tould provide about 4Q million visitor-days of recreation capacity pluS almcist 240 million board feet of timber at sustained yield capacity from the remaining forest land. , This is one of the conclusions from a new publication, Technical Paper 68, by Elliot Amidon and Ernest NI. Gould. Jr." released by Dr. Keith Arnold, director of the U.S. Forest Seivice experiment station in Berkeley.

'oRecreational use of forest land is inbreasing rapidly," Dr. Arnold said, "and uncertainties about the consequences are of great €oncern to forest managers who must plan for joint production of recreation and timber. Working with inventory data from the three National Forests. Amidon and Gould have shown one way to remove some of the uncertainty.

Amidon is a research forester at the for. est experiment station (home address: 1216 Talbot Ave., Berkeley), and Gould is resident forest ecohomist at Harvard Forest" Petersham, Mass., and consultant to the Forest Service on recreation research.

Their report shows the possibilities for future expansion of four major types of recreational use on each National Forest and estimates the impact of this expansion in terms of reduced sawtimber volume, annual allowable cut, aid sustained yield capacity.

On the study forests, totalling 3.5 million acres, full development of thi recreation potential, to provide 40 million visitor-days of capacity, would amount to about ten times the present capacity. This expansion could reduce productive forest land by 10 to 12 percent on the Modoc and Sierra National Forests, and by 32 percent on the San Bernardino National Forest.

The authors caution that these figures should not be generalized to apply f al National-Forest land in California. Thev also point out that other uses of forest land-for production of water, wildlife, and livestock, for example-must be considered in management decisions and future research.

Copies of the report are available from Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, P. O. Box 245, Berkeley l. California.

T'he present turmoil over softwood gradcs and sizes, and the strong requests for government assistance from softwood producers, impart no anxiety to hardwood producers. Grades and sizes are well estab. lished, and hardwood markets are increasing.

To bring ouidoors inside the home, use the same siding for wall paneling that you use on the outside of the home. Any pattern or texture oI western red cedar makes an ideal wall surface.

303c Sidings listed In New DFPA Brochure

Plywood panels listed in FHA Materials Release 303c with special treatments to the surface ply are included in the newest revision of the Sturd-i-Wall construction brochure prepared by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

Panels included in the 303 specialty sidings category are thosc which are grooved, embossed, striated, brushed, re-sawn or texturized in some other mechanical manner.

Specialty siding panels also carry spacing information as Part of the DFPA grade-trademark stamped on the back of each panel. The spacing given is either 16" o.c. for nominal z/*" thick panels or 24" o.c. Io, Vz" nominal thick panels.

Sturd-i-Wall is the single-panel exterior siding-sheathing which reduces time labor and materials costs in light construction. The system has been proved structurally sound in laboratory tests and actual use. Many codes accept this method of wall construction and Sturd-i-Wall is included in the FHA Minimum Property Standards for application o{ 3f-inch panels nailed directly to studs, 16" o.c.

logging Conslruction Industry

(C,ontinue.d, lrorn Page IB)

And finally, excessive capacity has led to abnormally severe competition and a widespread profit squeeze.

Construction is the nation's larse:t fabricating industry; il is, in fact, several industries, and not all of them are movins together. The market for single-family homes, {or example, is depressed compared to the peak years of 1950 and 1955; while apartment-building, essentially a difierent industry, is booming. School building is levelling, while highways, built by a difierent type of contractor with difierent methods and materials are increasing.

The short-term business outlook calls for a mild downturn in 1963. l'his is bound to har,e some dampening effect on the private sectors of construction, particularly residential, commercial and industrial building. On the other hand, public construction of highways and public works should be stimulated, and school building should at least remain at its hish level. On lhe whole, the net effect o[ I96jl business conditions on construction will be slightly on the down side-perhaps two or three percent below 1962.

Later in the year, an upturn should begin to be felt, and it seems likely that population pressures already building up, and becoming stronger in the middle of the dccade, will finally push the economy and the construction industry out of the relative stagnation it has been experiencing.

I)uring the construction boom that is almost certain to take place in the later Sixrics. there should be one signifir-anr change in the industry. Because construction wage rates run far higher than manufacturing wage rates, and because the very nature of the work makes construction labor less productive than factory labor, there will he an inexorable pressure to shift as much work as possible off the building sites and into the factories.

What this means is more and more prefabrication or pre-assembly of components. It will mean also the eventual breakdown of archaic building codes and medieval practices. The handwriting is already on the wall, in the techniques almost universally being used in Europe but hardly more than talked about here. Eventually the tower cranes, key to the European techniques, will sprout like mushrooms here; and when they do. we will have reversed our construction industry's present trend toward pricing itself out of its markets.

To give some added zest to an otherwise drah room. some smart rvomen have enclosed the fireplace in a lovely jacket of wood clear to the ceiling, exposing only the fireplace opening. West coast hemlock is an ideal wood for this purpose.
