The night porter of the house where artist pablo Picasso, the extreme modernist, was staying in Paris; helped police catch a burglar by remembering the man's appearance and then sketching it. Picasso was impressed, so, when his place was robbed soon after, he observed the burglar who had bound him with a rope, and later did a painting of the man which he handed to the police. Guided by his sketch the police promptly rounded up two hundred people, a horse, a hearse, a pair of old boots, and a can opener;-l"", Madrid.

The above hasn't a thing in the world to do with what this piece will.be about, but it seemed funny enough to deserve top billing. ***

This will be a rambling editorial concerning ,,the planned program Weyerhaeuser has established for all its branches -permanent manufacture, development and improvement of forest products, and a permanent yield from its tree farms'

The above quotes are from a recent official Weyerhaeuser publication, telling numerous details of the drive toward perfection in all phases of lumbering which is being made by the various Weyerhaeuser enterprises of wood and lumber character'

This same publication on another page tells of the Weyerhaeuser progress "through the advantage of research and the sustained-yield plan of growing trees on a commercial basis." It is a fact well known to many that Weyerhaeuser owns and operates vast possessions that have to do with trees and wood; mighty sawmills in Oregon, Washington, and the Inland Empire. But the even greater fact, and not so well known, is that every unit of every sort is being operated and managed on a planned permanent basis. Every Weyerhaeuser wood enterprise is being operated for planned perpetuity.

And every Weyerhaeuser wood-using operation has hehind it certain selected forests-tree farms-certified by their army of foresters to be capable of supplying that unit perpetually with commercial trees. How much timber Weyerhaeuser owns is probably their own business, but it amounts to a staggering total in all the states in which they operate. And their timber growing, and timber cutting, and logging, has al1 been mapped out for one hundred years to COme.

No Weyerhaeuser wood using operation stands still. All

of them must improve, and modernize, and progress. Through the research efforts of an army of chemists and engineers, new products are continually coming from Weyerhaeuser. As an example, take the Clearwater Unit of Potlatch Forests, Inc., located at Lewiston, fdaho. Here they operate the biggest White Pine sawmill in existence. They incorporated the outfit in 1900, and then spent 25 years buying timber, and getting ready to some day build and operate a mill there. They built the original plant in 1925 and 1926. It started just as a lumber mill, modern, and of large propotator..

In 1930 one of their engineers perfected the Pres-to-log, which has become one of their outstanding sidelines; a pressed wood log for use as fuel. This business has grown steadily. Glued-up lumber to build narrow boards into wide ones of any width desired, came.next, with specially created hot presses to cement the ltrmber together on the edges. Sound and solid boards of great width have been a famous Clearwater product ever since. ln t947 they added a huge cut-up department; in 1949 they built a veneer plant as a new unit; in 1950 they built a pulp and paper mill; in 1952 they expanded the veneer plant to produce Pine plywood; in 1952 they are expanding the pulp and paper mill to twice the original size. A sample of how Weyerhaeuser mills grow. And remember, there is a perpetual supply of trees for all this equipment, and all these units' * * *

They make Pine plywood in Idaho, and Fir plywood in Washington and Oregon. Their newest unit to reach completion and go into production is a Fir plywood plant at Springfield, Oregon. They boast that while the meat packers use everything except the squeal, at Springfield they use ever5rthing-no l'eftovers. They even use all the bark from the big Fir peeler logs. Sound wood from small peeler cores, veneer edgings and other l'eftovers from the plywood plant are chipped and sent to the sulphate pulp mill. Whatever is not suitable for pulp, and the bark removed from the logs by a dry debarker, go through the hog and then are burned in the power house to generate steam and electricity.

x< ,k *

A product is made from the tree bark by a Weyerhaeuser formula in another Weyerhaeuser plant that helps extend the phenolic resins in plywood glue, and the Springfield plywood operation consumes about 13 tons of this bark product every month. The product is called Silvacon 472, and is manufactured at Weyerhaeuser's Longview operation. So it is that every bit of the log, bark and all, is made into valuable products at the new Springfield plant. The Spring-

field plywood unit is an integrated part of the great new Springfield sawmill plant.

The same sort of recitals can be made with regard to all Weyerhaeuser manufacturing units. Take Evere.tt, Washington, where in 1902 they built th'eir first Pacific Northwest sawmill. That first mill was transformed into a sulphate pulp plant in 1936. In 1915 they built tr{ill B in Everett, then the biggest and most modern sawmill on earth. In 1927 they built Mill C at Everett. Here also they are growing trees on a sustained-yield basis, and here they plan to operate these mills perpetually. As the story in the official publication puts it, after fifty years of operation the'mills of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's Everett Branch "are only beginning their stay in Everett."

Mill B, buitt in 1915, and modernized continually ever since, is today one of the most efficient and up-to-date sawmill plants to be found anywhere. To illustrate, when that mill first started operations it was powered by 50 electric motors. Today there are 1,900 bigger and more powerful motors replacing the fifty, the result being a lot more production per man than ever before, and a mill ol highest efficiency. The company spends six and one-half million dollars a year in Everett for payroll. And the units will operate tto- r:*

Little can be said in this brief sketch of the marr)' other great Weyerhaeuser operations. There is not room. The plant at Longview, Washington, is not a sawmill. but a group of integrated sawmills, together with varior.s other units that make Weyerhaeuser wood into an unbelievable assortment of products. Longview alone would fill a book on what can be made from wood besides lumber-

The Longview plant is a good example of a great lesson learned; that the manufacture of various forest products can be profitably integrated on one plant site, thus eli.minating waste and lowering production costs. Ilere, fir logs are cleaned of bark by hydraulic or other means. The bark goes to a plant where it is refined into new industrial products, chiefy five different laboratory products all known as Silvacon. The sawmill and plywood plants make lumber and plywood from bark-free logs. The waste is chipped and goes to the pulp mill where it is made into bleached sulphate pulp. Shavings from the planing mill go to the Pres-to-log plant to be made into fuel briquettes. There is no longer a burner at Longview. There is no waste to burn'

All of the many big Weyerhaeuser sawmill plants make and sell materials other than lumber. To list them all would fill pages. In addition, several Weyerhaeuser affiliates not in the sawmill business, manufacture wonderful materials from wood fiber. The Wood Conversion Company is an outstanding example, manufacturing large quantities of world-famous products of their own discovery and creation, such as Balsam Wool, Nu-Wood, and various others. Another affiliate. the Rock Island Millwork Company, is now manufacturing strong, sound, attractive

boards out of the sawdust and shavings from its own plant. A giant press specially built for the purpose, makes this wood waste accumulated in cutting lumber, right back into lumber. They call this Resinwood, and find a ready market for the product.

It is indeed a slack season when some Weyerhaeuser plant fails to announce something new in the way of wood products. Right now there is a new plant at Weyerhaeuser's Snoqualmie Falls branch, in Washington. It is engaged in manufacturing waste wood into what they call Silvacel, a complete line of whole-wood fibers, resulting from the efforts of their army of engineers and chemists. These whole-wood fiber products suitable for a wide variety of uses, are made from sawmill left-overs and small, broken, or unusable sawlogs from the woods. This wood is made into chips exactly like pulp chips, then defibrated by heat and pressure. While these wood fibers have many uses' such as insulation, the chief one thus far is for oil field drilling. Nine truckloads of chips are manufactured daily into valuable products tt *an.* new plant.

At Klamath Falls, Oregon, Weyerhaeuser has laid the foundations for a two million dollar plant to make hardboard, which is pressed from chewed-up wood fiber. The raw material is white fir, not suitable for lumber. Molded hardboard will be one of the;rrlducts of the new plant.

The poet wrote: "Give us men to match our mountains, give us men to match our plains, men with eras in their purpose, men with epochs in their, brains." It looks like the Weyerhaeuser organization has both the eras and the epochs, judging by "the planned program Weyerhaeuser has established for all its branches-permanent manufacture, development and improvement of forest products, and a permanent yield from its tree farms." Vast forests to last forever; tremendous mill plants that have become factories for the production of many things besides lumber; this is Weyerhaeuser as the world knows it today. Compare all this with the timber and srill business of a generation back: and then sit and wonder.

The San Andreas Lumber Products Company, San Andreas, California, by use of electricity, air, and diesel power, cuts five thousand feet of lumber per hour, with only three men employed in the sawmill unit.

J. D. Murphy Lumber Company Expansion Program

The accompanying photographs on this page indicate the modern home of the J. D. Murphy Lumber Company, located at 475 Huntington Drive, in San Marino-right in the heart of the Greater Eastside of the Los Angeles and Pasadena metropolitan area.

Jack-as he has been knorvn to his friends in the industry for the past trventy-fir,e years in Southern Californiawas born to his job so to speak, as his father also comes from a family of lumbermen. His experience and background in both rvholesale and retail of hardwoods and softwoods is complete-right from the tree to the consumer. His firm presentlv represents, exclusively in Southern California, the mills oi Evans Forest Products, Inc., and J. W. Wilder, Inc., specializing in the efficient distribution of Pacific Coast lumber products.

Jean Murphy is "Girl Friday" to her husband and plays an integral part in the smooth operation of this efficiently conducted organization. Her experience dates back some fifteen years in lumber sales and her genial personality plays an important part in the fast growth of the firmand the fine customer relations.

Herb Meier who joined the sales staff of the company several months ago, has had many years of experience as a building contractor, and also in tl-re wholesale distribution of lumber. Herb spent five years in the South Pacific during World War II as a procurement officer rvith the Corps of Engineers of the United States Army. His whole adult life has been spent in the lumber and building construction business and he is a most valued member of this progressive young company.

Ray H. Benson was an associate of Jack's for over fifteen years when they both were employed by a large l.holesale ltr,mber firm in Vernon. He has been connected 'n'ith various wood products organizations covering doors, plyrvoods and allied products. He has a complete education in buying and selling at all levels of marketing and is rvell kno'ivn throughout Southern California for his ability as a straight shooting executive.

\\rith over a century of man years of experience, it is expected the J. D. Murphy Lumber Company u'ill continue to expand rvith the years, rendering a good .service to the retail lumber dealers in the California and Arizona trade area. We wish Jack and his associates continued success.

Year-End Review of Fir Plywood fndustry

By Thomas C. Sias Douglas Fir Plywood Association

\Mest coast plyrvood manufacturers approached the turn of the vear with another all-timc pr.rduction rccord in sight. At the same time most sigus poilted to a good year in 1953 for Douglas fir plylood sales at the retail level.

Housing starts fcr 1952 rvhere the in-place cost of plvwood for structural applications is highly competitive appeared to be measuring up to eariier estimates that they rvould top a million. And 700,000 to anothei' million starts are predicteC for next ,vea:.

Remodcling, too. where plyrvood's competitive position in terms of end-use values is highly favorable constituted a continuing demand. Estimated dollar volume for all remodeling. maintenance and building repair in 1952 rvas $9 billion and next year is expected to be just as good.

The "do-it-yourself" trend was well established as a major outlet for plywood through retail dcaler yards and .very indication shows that this rna-rket rvill continue to expancl in 1953.

Throughout almost the entire i952 period, demand for plywood in all fields including hea.ry construction, remanufacture, boat building and other fields was strong and steady lrringing production to a record ar.erage of 56 million square feet rvcekly. The year opened, in fact, with a rush <rf business that sent 'lveekly sales to better than'70 million square feet for some six 'lveeks.

Output this year totaled 2.4 billion square feet as of October 25 and the industry expects the figure to equal or exceed the 2.8 billion record high set last year.

Although demand remains firm, the immediate shortterm outlook at the manufacturing level was marred some-

'"r''hat by fourth quarter sluggishness which resulted in a .len per cent drop in price by October.

Although this period of uncasiness came at about the same time as the sudden and precipitous plunge in the market last October, it bore ferv of the earmarks of that period. For one thing, with wages up a $1 a day and the cost of ra-n' materials holding steady or increasing, there was considerably less margin between profit and loss. Secondly, jobber stocks in October appeared to be far lou.er than at this tiine last year. To manufacturers these conditions point to a likely rush of orders again in the months ahead.

In assessing what's ahead for retail plyrvood sales in 1953, it is imperative to see rvhere the retail dealer fits into the picture. Investigation indicates that he gcts and sells more than 50 per cent of total industry output or an estimated 1.4 billion square feet of plyrvood in 1952. Arid a just completed indepenCent market survey ir-iitiated by the industry indicates that 10 per ccnt of output-practically all of which is sold by dealers-goes to home-on'ners.

This means that the dealer constitutes the plywood industry's biggest single outlet, and the manufacturers have long recognized this in their joint plyrvood sales promotion rvith a'continuing florv of dealer sales helps.

Hou'ever, in Scptember o{ this vear, W. E. Difforcl, t'ho held the post of managing director of the industry's trade association from 1938 to 1946, rvas lured back to the joli from his orvn plywood and lumber sales firm. Immediately after rejoining the Association, Difford put his finger on the strategic position of the retail dealer in the plyu'ood market oicture and within trvo u,eeks after he was on the

job, the manufacturers had the ball rolling on the current "Best Buy" plywood sales promotion campaign.

This is a coordinated packaged promotion rifled at specific dealer sales outlets for plywood. It includes national advertising in Saturday Evening Post and Pathfinder, strong campaigns in builder and dealer trade journals, and a tie-in kit of dealer sales aids topped with a new display-mobile for pl1'u'ood being used in the building materials field for the first time.

The program bilLs Douglas fir plywood as "today's best buy" in terms of in-place cost and end-use values in new homes, remodeling, 1>uilt-ins, farm buildings, boats, and home rvorkshop projects. And it has been itiled on top of the industry's continuing promotion program to architects. builders, industrial users and home owners.

The program climaxed a y.ear of intense Dromotional a-ctivity in the industry-most of which was instrumental in maintaining or building dealer sales of plywood. Early in the spring plyu'ood .n,as selected as the primary structural material for the n.idely publicized "Farm-In-A-Day" horne and buildings erected in Washington's Columbia irrigation for the nation's most deserving young veteran.

Immediately follon'ing this project which is still resulting in follol,v-up publicity came the industry's "Room-for-fmpror.ement" plyrvood remodeling contest which drerv 36,000 requests for plyr,r'ood remodeling idea literature and 13,500 actual entries.

The promotion generated new interest in plywood for rer-nodeling and the entries have developed priceless information on rvhat the nation needs and prefers in remodeling developments. The announcement of r,vinners has lteen completed but the greatest benefits to dealers will be the before and after remodeling case studies which will be made available in the form of remodeling sales literature.

Also getting its start during the year was the industry's program to merchandise standard small sizes of plywriocl called Handy Panels. An esiimated 3,000 Han<ly Panel

display racks have been put into use or ordered bv dealers. Results vary depending upon the kind of business the dealer has concentrated upon and the intensity of his merchandising.but some have sold as much as 2,50O to 5,000 square feet in the first six rveeks after installing a rack.

Dealer sales next year to contractors and builders r,vrll be stimulated by industry promotion of success stories in the use of fir plywood for structural applications like subflooring, rvall sheathing and roof decking. Demand for roof sheathing was sparked during the past year by a change in FHA minimum property requirements permitting 3f" plywood roof decking over rafters spaced 24" o.c. Builders using this construction have reported they can lay decking in half the man hours required for conventional -.l.reathing materials.

One Detroit builder reports a totai dollar saving of $112 per house rvith a combination of plywood roof decking and pre-built plyrvood-shea'ched \\'a11 sections. In Southern California particularly plyrn'ood sales for underlayment as a base for wall-to-wall carpeting have increased considerably and in some cases, a combination subfloor and underlayment in a heavy thickness of fir plywood is proving a profitable dealer sales outlet.

Plyrvood for these applications and others like new siding and interior r,vall paneling 'ivill be dramatized the first part of the year with a story in Farm Joumal on a case-

Now, when piling loads, the driver of a Ross Fork Truck can hold the truck right where he wants it even on a grade. Automatic Brake Lock... another advanced-engineering feature of Ross Fork Trucks. .leaves the driver free to manipulate the load. Result? Faster piling, safer piling and neat, square piles... even on rough ground.

Here's how the Ross Automatic Brake Lock works: As the truck approaches.the pile, the driver flips an electric switch. rWhen truck is in desired position, he applies the foot brakes as usual. The brakes lock automatically. and stay locked, when he removes his foot from the brake pedal. This leaves him free to concentrate his attention on hoisting and tilting operations because the truck cannot creep forward or backward. lWhen ready to back away from the pile, he again flips the electric switch, unlocking the brakes and returning them to normal foot-pedal operation.

fiink of the time this Ross feature can save for you! It's another of a long list of features developed and pioneered by ROSS. Remember, look to ROSS lrsl for the latest!

Natural Exterior Finishes For Redwood Get Tough!

Bv \(illard E. Pratt Colilornia Redwood Association

Most lumbermen like to see their merchandise used in a manner which reflects creditably upon the material and upon themselves. They make it a point not only to supply their customers with quality lumber and the accessories to its use but also to furnish information rvhich rvill enable the customer to real-rze a full mersure of satisfaction from his purchases.

In recommending exterior finishcs, the lumberman was always safe in suggesting a good grade of standard house paint. He became somewhat less sure of his position u'hen asked to recommend a na.tural finish for exterior use. Natural finishes, rvhich had given excellent service when used on interior u'oodwork, failed to give satisfactory service where exposed to the vu'eather. NIany of the clear varnishes, developed for marine use, shorved limited resistance to lveathering and failed in such a manner that the old finish had to be removed before the rvood could be refinished.

Tests Tell Story

Recognizing these problems, the California Redwood Association, in cooperation r,r'ith manufacturers of exterior finishes, inaugurated a finish testing program late in 1949. The purpose of this program \\'as to determine the relative abilities of natural exterior finishes for redn'ood to rvithstand the effects of rveathering. In order that this information could be obtained as quickly as possible, tests r,vere made in an accelerated l,veathering machine as rvell as under natur:rl n.eatl-rering conditions.

In the u'eathering machine, small redrvood test panels, treated with various finish systems. are exposed to tl'. intense lieht of a carbon arc and are sprayed intermittentl'' with water These conditions are intended to duplicate the effects of sun and moisture in natural weathering. One hour of this type of accelerated r.veathering is often considered as being equivalent to one day of natural rveatheri.tg. Unfortunately, this is only an approximate relationship and varies considerably, not only 'ivith the different types of finishes, but also u'ithin each type. It does, horvever, provide a good bas:s for comparing finishes having similar formulations and, for this reason, the use of the machine has been continued as one ohase of the test program.

The natural weathering tests are conducted on a test fence, maintained by the California Redwood Association, on a dry kiln roof at Cloverdale, Celifornia. Here, larger test panels are exposed at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal and facing in a southwesterly direction. From time to time vents in the kiln roof open allowing hot humid air to escape near the panels. This exposure is quite severe and it is felt that one year on this test fence is equivalent to between a year-and-a-hzilf and trvo years of average sidewall exposure.

To date, a total of 98 finish systems, including clears, both oils and varnishes, stain and clear combinations, penetrating sealers, water-repellent preservatives, lacquers, pigmented stains and ltleaches, in fact, nearly every type of finish, other than the conventional paints, have been tested. Tests on 45 additional finishes are in process at this time.

Manufacturers Cooperate

From the very beginning of this program, finish manufacturers have taken a keen interest in these tests :rnd l-rave cooperated l'holeheartedly in improving the natural exterior finishes for redr,"'ood u'hich are being offered to the public. Improved formulations have resulted in better finish life In some cases. increases of as much as 300 to 400 per cent have been indicated.

Finish systems lvhich, on the basis of these tests, n'ere judged to possess satisfactory resistance to weathering are listed in the supplement to the Caliiornia Redu'ood Association's Data Sheet "Exterior Finishes for Redrvood." The current supplement lists 14 such systems and, together u'ith the data sheet, is available vvithorrt charqe upon recruest. The listed finishes are being subjected to an additional series of tests. These finishes, purch:tsed from paint dealers s.helf stocks \vere applied to standard siding panels and are being exposed to natural u,'eathering on the roof of the building housing tl.re Association's San Francisco offices and at se...eral locations across the United States. The follou'ing lumber dealers are cooperating in this phase of the testing pl'osram by exposing the siding panels to natural rveatl.rering in their areas: Forest Products Corporation, Port Everglades, Florida; Harrison Lumber & Hardl.are Company. St. Louis 7, Missouri; Edu'ard Hines Lumber Company, St. Charles, Illinois; \\'n-,. B. Morse Lumlter Company. Rochester, Nerv York; Stahlman l,umber Com1-r"y. Horrston 5, Texas; The O'N{allev I-umlter Companl', Phoenix, Arizona.

Answers Justify Work

The results of this second phase of the natural weather;ng tests r,vill not lte knolvn for trvo or three years but, u'hen available, they u'ill probably furnish the best basis ior judging resistrrce to naturrl n-ei.thering and will be r.sed to further screen the listed finish systems.

While the California Redwood Association does not feel that it has found the ansrver to exterior finish problems, information developed in the last three years makes it possible to list a variety of finish systems which will give satisfactory results u'hen applied to Certified Dry Redu'ood in accordance rr'ith the manufacturers' recommendations.

Vacuum Method of Treating Millwork Studied by Technical Committee

For the purpose of studying the vacuum method of treating millwork to safeguard against decay, and to minimize swelling and shrinking, the Preservative Standards Advisory Committee of the National Woodwork Manufacturers Association met in Spokane, Washington, on October 23 and 24. The study rvas made at the \,\rhite Pine Sash Company's factory where a new vacuum treating plant was recently installed.

The purpose of the meeting rvas to recommend a standard treatment for the vacuum process r,r'hich rvill insure adequate penetration and retention of the treating solution. Experimental test runs by this process indicate that the vacrlum process has greater flexibility than the conventional 3-minu1-e dip, because of the force exerted by normal atmospheric pressure rvhen the initial vacuum is broken after it has partially exhausted the air from the pores of the wood. A final vacuum then u.ithdraws the surplus solution from the u'ood surface and leaves it relatively dry. In this rvay the delay for draining and volatilization required by the 3-minute dip method is eliminated and there is a great reduction in the waiting period before glazing, puttying or painting.

Kenneth H. Klopp, president of White Pine Sash Company, told the committee he is enthusiastic about the possibilities offered by the vacuum process, and believes it will speed production, conser\-e ntanpower and do a

better treating job than is possible with the 3-minute dipPresent at the meeting were L. C. Paisley of Dubuque, for'va, and O. C. Lance of Chicago, representing the National Woodrvork l\Ianufacturers Association. Dr. A. \V. Stout of the \Vestern Pine Association, chairman of the Preserr.ative Standards Advisory Committee, presided at the meeting. Other committee members present were J. O. Ble'rv, Forest Products Laboratory i Dr. E. E. Hubcrt, University of Idaho School of Forestry; Robert A. Zabel, Nerv York State University School of Forestry; G. G. Garlick and S. O.

The irnportance of plans and idea literature in buiiding plvr,r.ood sales at retail levels is ernphasized by past reqrlests for plvu'ood literature.

I,

The Old Stcrge Road

Around the narrow bend the swerving stage

Careens and turns, resumes its drunken pace. The whip fings out in writhing, snapping rage

Thick clouds of dust begrime the driver's face. And others go the curving, ghade-flecked wayA herder leading sheep to distant fold- '

A thief, a rogue, a priest in sackoloth grey

A miner with his bags of virgin gblti.

But now, in lone and solitary state

The road draws close its bape of dust-choked weeds

The oaks bend low in grief at the long wait

For men and carts, and reckless, daring deeds. The wagon ruts grow faint and then are gone; In memory alone the past lives on"

-Jeannette Gould.

The liner was approaching the port of Athens and an .old lady said to one of the sailors: "Can you tell me what that white stuff is on those mountains?" "That is snow, Madam," said the sailor. "I knew they were lying," she ,said, triumphantly. "They tried to make me think it was greece."

How To Increase What We Give

"We simply cannot compel love to come to us. We simply invite it. When it comes, let us give thanks for it and see what we can do to attract still more. We should express affection, even if all we do is pat dogs. The more love we give away, the greater love we have to share."-Thomas Dreier.

The Little Old Womcn

Three salesmen wanted to discuss some things at lunch but couldn't find an empty table. They sat at one where a little, elderly woman was eating.

One said" "You know, boys, it's been three weeks since I've been able to take a bath." The second caught on quickly and said, "Well, it's been six weeks since I've had a bath." And the third backed them up and said, "Shucks, you guys are plumb clean. I haven't had a bath since last August."

They waited to see what would happen. The little old woman finally popped up. "Will one of you stinkers please pass the salt?"

Lincoln Said:

"Do not worry. Eat three square meals a day, say your prayers, be courteous to your creditors, keep your digestion good, exercise, go slow, and go easy. Maybe you require other things to make you happy, but, my friend' these I reckon will give you a good life."

Dirt Roads

They hold a charm the concrete highways lack, So homey-like, so leisurely they are; Winding beside low hills, and looping back To softly creep beside some pasture-bar.

Dirt roads were made for buggy wheels, and boys

To walk on barefoot, and for lines of geese; The choiring meadow larks above them poise, The cradling arms of twilight give them peace.

Their dusty beds are written like a scroll

Where Nature's children passed and left a sign; With here and there a tiny water-hole

Where.yellow butterflies drift dovvn to dine.

Dusk comes to trail brown shadows through the air. The humble wayside weeds grow moist with dew; Couched in the road, his note a moaning prayer, The whip-poor-will now sings the whole night through.

Foresters and West Coast Tree Farmers by late October were much like the regiment of soldiers which came through an intense artillery barrage r,vith only minor casualties. In t952, Oregon and Washington had one of its most potentially dangerous forest fire seasons-over 100 days lvith only one slight rain. Despite the high hazards, fire losses were held to a minimum.

Oregon, for instance had only 463 man-caused forest blazes, and Washington reported a similar low number through September.

Cooperation was the keynote of this amazing record, confirms W. D. Hagenstein, chief forester of Industrial Forestry Association. The big forester paid high tribute to the Keep Oregon and Washington Green programs ancl the outstanding support given this work by the general public.

"War or no war, Chief Hospital Corpsman Eugene P. Lentz of Kenosha, Wis., decided his front line aid station was going to have knotty pine furniture.

"The fact that there was no such pine available didn't faze him. In his spare time, using 'ivood from ammunition cases, he l>uilt benches, chairs, cabinets, and an operating table for the Navy medical personnel attached to the First Battation. Fifth Marines.

"Then he u'ent over the n'orks u'ith a blon'torcl.r. scol'ching the rvood here and there until he rvas pleased.

"'We're the only front line aid station with knotty pine equipment,' he insists.

"Visitors are impressed."

Loggers came in for a vigorous pat on the back, too, for logger firt:s were among the lowest on record. Hagenstein said sportsmen had responded to appeals for care with fire in a most encouraging manner.

There were long periods during the summerivhen strong and persistent east rvinds kept the humidities below the danger point and rvl-ren moisture content of the forest fuel \,vas near zero. This is the time foresters dread. Any careless act can cause a conflagration and manls mightiest efforts are puny once a fire gets started'

Foresters look back on 1951 rvhen forest fires took a heavy toll, like the Forks fire on the Olympic National Forest in \\rashington in late Septembeln'l.rich burned 500,000'000 feet of prime timber, and breathe easier now that fall rains have come.

Improved facilities represent an investment of over a million dollars.

Chapman utilizes a special wet batch process in the manufacture of OREGONBORD. Douglas Fir slabs containing long, tough fibers are presently o"eing used. These are passed through an Asplund defibrator after screening, and then refined further in a Bauer refiner. Binders, size wax and other additives are then mixed with the pulp in the stock chest. The mass receives further additives and agitation before going to the 4'x8' deckel box for forming.

A mat is produced by constant reduction of water content. Additional preliminary pressing occurs at this stage, until finally the panels are formed under higher pressure and discharged into a rack. The board is then brought up to a moisture content of from 5 to tOV by going through a humidifier. Tempering is accomplished in custom-built ovens. The Chapman Manufacturing Company is currentlv placing considerable emphasis on the manufacture of their

tempered board, and management is enthused over progress ' made in perfecting this grade of OREQONBORD. In the last stage of production, the panels aie trimmed to size and wrapped for shipment.

The notelvorthy feature of this process is the fact that complete felting and loading operations can be stopped or started by one button on the press control panel without affecting the operations before or after the "forming" sections.

is primarily responsible for the careful selection of rarv materials, special resins and tested techniques so necessary to make a sound hardboard. The counsel of such an outstanding authority has been of tremendous value to us," Gilkey stated.

A large and competent staff at the Chapman plant is virtually "loaded" with forest products know-how. But management is not content in having produced a harclboard already recognized as one of the finest in the industry. Research go?s on-in an up-to-date laboratory featuring the most advanced testing e<luipment available. It contributes important findings rvhich make possible a strict quality control, and lends punch to OREGONBORD'S trade slogan, "Toughest by Test."

The expanded production of OREGONBORD is marketed in the eleven Western states by Western Hardboard Sales Company. Paul M. Smith, well known for many years in the industry, heads up this aggressive organization. "We strongly believe that hardboard has a' tremendous future," Smith said. "An increasing number of cost-conscious contractors and individual consumers have founci this product to be an answer to many building problems," he continued. "Costs are often materially cut because of the simplicity and speed of application. The fact that these panels can be sarved, nailed, painted, planed and bored give them almost unlimited uses." Smith is assisted at Western Hardboard Sales by Mrs. Ruth Berliner, a capable lady lr.ho has an impressive total of twenty years in the forest products business.

The building trade has been seeing quite a bit of ORI::GONBORD's promotion lately-and it is due to see much more. A hard hitting schedule of direct mail and large trade magazine ads has been scheduled to promote the product in the Western states.

NLMA Holds Annual Meetins

R. R. Macartney Elected President

Wasliington, D. C.-The National Lumber Manuf:,-cturers Association highlighted its 1951 annual meeting, Nov. 11-14, in Washington, I). C., by electing Oregon lumberrnan Ralph R. Macartney as president and demanding that the federal government keep hands off private timber management.

Between 150 and 200 of the nation's leading lumbermr:n, representing all sections of the countrv. attended tl-re fourday conclave at the Shoreham Hotel.

U. S. Chamber of Commerce President Laurence F. Lee grabbed the spotlight at a luncheon mei:ting by proposing thet the new Congress suspend all non-nrilitary federal la:ld acquisition pending a re-study of the problem.

A special feature of the meeting rvas the unveiling of a nerv all-rvood truck body, developed at the Washington, D. C., laboratory of the Timber Engineering Comptny. The all-wood body is intended primarily for military use but also is considered adaptable to civilian trucks.

l\{acartney, manager of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Companv at Klamath Falls, Ore., repiaces lohn B. Veach as \II-NIA president for 1953. Veach, president of the Hardwood Corporation of America, Asheville. N. C., was elected NLI\{A board chairman, succeeding Corydon Wagirer, vice president and treasurer of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lurnber Company, Tacoma, Wash.

J. R. Bemis, president of the Ozan l-umber Company. Prescott, Ark., was named first vice president of NL1!fA, succeeding Macartney. Bemis was recently elected president of the Southern Pine Association.

Veach set the tone of the meeting with a predictiun that consumers will get "greater value and better service for tl-reir dollars spent on lumber in the year ahead."

Veach said the prospect of "bettcr buys" in lumber results from more efficient production methods, greater :utilizaticy,r

of rvaste materials, improved cutting practices and ltetter merchandising programs. He added: "This 'ivill help lunrber to maintain its position in the builcling materials field and to pace the cievelopment of nerv products."

A n.rain objective of the meeting t,as to map nen strategy to offset the inroads made in ltimber markets bv other building products. Spurred by \reach's warning that lunrbermen "may face a serious chalienge" from con,petitii'e products, industry representatives developed a "blueprint of action," designed to promote greater use of 11'6s{ 31p6n. civilian and defense consumers in the year ahead.

\/each also u,arned the lurnber leaders that they "face the prospect of a possible over-supply lf timber." Ife said this "points up the need for rvell-planned action to increase ottr markets "

Resolutions adopted by NLMA's 54-man board of directors called on the federal government to build more roads to speed the l.rarvesting of over-aged and d;:maged federal timber, and denounced several recommend:Ltions of the President's Materials Policy Commission, herded by CBS Board Chairman William Paley

NLNIA directors took a special rap at the Paley proposal for federal-state controls on private tirrrber cuttiug. The directors insisted that any public regulation of private timber cutting should be left entirelv to the states.

At the outset of the meeting, sevei'al lunri.>er leaders charged that the Paley proposal for federal-stlte controls rvas based on "the false philosophy that we face :r timber fan:rine." Thev claimed that the commission's predictions of future timber needs were "unjustifiably high" and that its estimates of present and future timber grou'th r'r'ere "pessimistically low."

IILMA also attacked the Paley proposal for a svstem of federally-financed forest loans and insurance. Thr: associ-

ation asserted that these matters should be liandled rrxclusively by private banks and insurance firms. Tl.:e Paley Commission proposals, made public a fer, monills ztgo, are being considered by various federal agencies es the basis for possible legislation when Congress reconvenes.

To step up the harvesting of deteriorating federal timber, NLMA urged that the government sperid $30,000,000 annually over the next five years for construction of uerv timber access roads in federal forests. This is appro:<imately triple present outlays. The association aCded that the government should finance timber road construction onlv where private building is not feasible and that each prc,iecli should be subject to a public hearing.

Other NlMA-approved resolutions, suggestc'd by the association's Forest Conservation Committee :

1. Recommended that state forestry depaftnrents lev.v a service charge (based on production) for techuicitl assistance furnished private forest operators In this connection, NLMA rejected a Paley Commission proposa'l that the Agriculture Department eventually be authorized to increase its staff for this work to 2,000 field mer-r and that the cost be borne equally by federal and state governments.

2. Recommended that the forest managemeni standards for federal lands be raised to the level mainta:ned on intensively managed private lands.

3. Called on federal, state and private intere:-;ts to step up their forest insect and disease research, and to improve their detection and control facilities.

.1. Suggested that a national forest research advisory conr-rcil be established to bolster the forest research programs of all federal, state and private agencies. NLNIA c-rpposed a Paley Commission proposal that the .r\griculture Department's forest research funds be doubled, end insisted that the agency streamline these activities instead.

5. Proposed that state forestry departments encourage private operators to plant more seedlings on i,lic lands. NI,\IA insisted, however, that the states should boost their charges for seedlings to the extent that state :tnd federal subsidies could be eliminated wherever 'state l:rrvs permit.

6. Demanded that the matter of property taxation and special forest tax larvs be left entirely tt'r the states.

In his luncheon address, U. S. Chamber oi Cc.mmerce President Lee cautioned that the U. S. is becomi'eg second onlv to Russia in the extent of government lantl-holdings. The business leader noted that the federal govcrnment now owns 24 per cent of all land in the U. S.. and suggested that NLNIA combine ryith other groups to iormulate sound policies of federal land on'nershili

"In the nineteenth century," Lee said, "our government dilTused land o'ivnership (through the Homesteacl Acts). In t.he t'iventieth century, it has been taking the land back. That is not progress. It is sheer reaction."

Today, Lee added, the federal gor,ernment holds in cxcess of 455 million acres, not including Indian reservations nor the federal lands in Alask:r ancl the otl-rer terr:tories.

"E,r'en the federal bureaus themselr'es do not kttorv holr, much they own," he said.

I-ee asserted federal land ou'nership not only tax loss, but prevents profitable development of mealls a resorlrces such as timber, coal and othel minerals vate, taxpaying ou'ners.

He suggested that NLNIA call together such gioups as the pulp and paper industry, several state cattle and sheep gron'ers' organizations, the Council of State Govert.rors, the taxpal'ers' associations, the National F.clucation Associaticn and the local and state chaml;ers of c()rlmerce to \\'ork out a four-point program as follou's:

l. Registration of all federal lands t'ith the Department of tire Interior. The record shouid disclc,se the anilual rate of increase or decrease of federal land holdings. and so end the confusion as to the exact extent of gor'ernmenton'ned lands.

3. Examination of federal land holdings by Corrgress to determine vghat property is best suited for private ownership.

Philippines Have Great Stands o[ Hardwood Timber

Hon Antonio De Las Alas, prominent in Philippine Island affairs for more than thirty years and president of the Island's Chamber of Commerce, addressed the directors of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce on October 30.

Frank J. Connolly, president of \\restern Hardn'ood Lumber Co. and chairman of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce World Trade Committee, introduced the speakel as follo'rvs :

"Born in Taal, Batangas, Philippine Islands, Mr. De Las Alas obtained his LL.B. degree from Indiana University, ind his I-L.M. from Yale Universitv.

"In l9l9 and l92O he rn'as Chief of the Executive Bureau, rvhich n'as then the Office of the Governor General of the Philippines. From the latter part of 1920 to 1922, he u'as Undersecretary of the Interior and Acting Secretary of the Interior and Acting Secretary of Justice. In 1922, he u'as elected Congressman. Having been re-elected four times he continued in Congress until 1933 when he u.as made a N{ember of the Cabinet, having been appointed Secretary of Public \\rorks and Communications. In Congress, he u'as Chairman of the most powerful and important Committee, the Appropriations Committee, and was Speaker pro-tempore many times.

"He continued in the Department of Public \Vorks and Con"rmunications until 193 rvhen he was appointed Secretary of Finance. While Secretary of Finance, he l as Chairrnan of the National Economic Council, the policvmaking body insofar as economic affairs rvere concerned, and also Chairman of the National Development Companv, the entity charged r,vith the management of large economic projects rvhich private initiative could not vet undertake. ln 1938. he u'as sent to Washington as a member of the Philippine Mission entrusted u'ith tl-re u'ork of having the economic provisions of the Philippine Independence ,\ct

modified so as to prolong for many more years tl,e exportation of certain Philippine products to the United States free of duty.

"In 7941, he.il'as elected Senator for a term of four years. FIe is norv vice president of Nlarsman & Co., a corporation engaged principally in merchandising and mining.

"lIe 'ivas appointed by his Excellency, the President of the Philippines, as one of the members of the Monetary Board of the Central Bank. The Central Bank administer's the monetary and banking systems in the Philippines.

"At present he is president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines and also president of the I'hilippine Lumber Prodncers' Association."

The follo'iving are excerpts from the address of Mr. De Las Alas:

He described the conditions that existed from 1900 to 1941 under American influence, bringing out the development of the agricultural and industrial gror."'th and establishment of the splendid educational svstem, starting rvith the lorver grades and carrying through to the college le.,'el, lvhich includes a special school of forestry rvhich has progressed under the able direction of Florencio Tarnesis, rvho is not only the Director of Forestry of the Republic of the Philippines, but also Dean of the College of Forestrv.

The second phase of his talk touched upon the period of the occupation by the .fapanese and the trials and vicissitudes of that period, stating that the Cjty of N{anila suffered a greater percentage of destruction than any other metropolitan area in World \\rar II, not exclucling either Berlin or Tokyo.

He acknor,vledged the depth of gratitude that the Philippine people feel towards the Unitecl States, not only because of the opportunity which under the An-rerican regime offered, but the Philippine people received their independence as a

common\\realth among the nations of the rvorld without one drop of blood being shed. By this accomplishment Mr. De Las Alas brought out the fact that the natural resources of the Philippines are of tremendous value to the rvorld at large, and particularly to the United States. There exists in the Islands the greatest stand of hardwood forests in the rvorld today, rvhich is easily accessible, the conservative estimate reaching 465,000 billion feet of forest area that is nolv ripe and ready to cut, but the forests of the Philippines grow 24 hours a day 12 months a year and becatrse of this condition shorv no annual growth rings, therefore it reflects a perpetual growth under a proper reforestation program, and lumber is fourth among the natnral resources in value, copra, sugar, herap (abaca) come under the heading of re-production resources.

areas in which iron ore, gold, magnesium and other metallic minerals rvhich are in the early stages of development. There are also great deposits of non-metallic minerals, such as lime, silica, and pumice which have scarcely been touched. This great storehouse of natural resources rvith such a close brotherhood of influence and background u'ith the United States should be a source of mutual benefit for centuries to come, and as a closing statement it is qrrite significant that the Philippine Republic is the only Christian nation in the Far East. \{r. De Las Alas was also a guest of the Philippine Mahoganl' A'ssociation at a luncheon meeting at the Jonathan Club on October 29 when he talked to the members and their guests. President Walter Scrim presided at the meeting.

industrial wood supply.

But the existing wood-using industries of the n'orld have been mainly built to employ softwoods, and vast areas of the untapped forests are tropical hardwoods. Hundreds of millions of the softwood forests, too, are in the Soviet Ijnion and its satellite countries.

Canada and Us

Up theie our Canadian cousins have 37 per cent of their cotlntry in forests and down here 33 per cent of the nation's land area i.s classified as forest land.

The contrast is 'ivider in terms of forest acres per person. In Canada it is 67.2 acres for each man, woman and child, rvhile the per capita .share of the U.S.A. woodlands is but 4.61 acres.

Each country has roughly 500,000,000 acres of "accessible" tir.nber suited for commercial uses.

Billions of Canadian and U. S. dollars are already deeply invested in mills, roads, machinery and all kindred items for getting out logs and making lumber, paper, plylvood and other forest products.

Additional billior-rs of dollars are invested in North American industries and businesses such as newspaper publishing and building constrttction, and each investment depends on contintting material supplies from forest land.

National Retail Directors Meet

Henry J. Munnerlyn Elected President

The nation's retail lumber and building feel confident that they are making steady ultimate solution of their "marketing problems," judging bv opinions expressed meeting of the board of directors of the Luml;er Dealers Association.

materials dealers condition and the organization is operating rvithin its progress tor,r'ard budget according to Treasurer Stair. and distribution The current status of emergency controls and regulaat the November tions u'as summarized by Secretary Libbey u'ho expressed National Retail the feeling that all or most controls would be removed by the middle of 1953.

Other in.rportant developments at the meeting were the election of nelr' officers, the decision to expand the industry's educational activities, and approval in principle of the grade marking of lumber and descriptive grade names for lumber.

Henry J. Nfunnerlvn, Bennettsville, S. C., 'rvas elected president of NRI-D-\, succeeding Clyde A. Fulton, of Charlotte, l\{ich., and \\ratson Malone III of Philadelphia, u'as named vice president. Fred R. Stair, Knoxville, Tenn., treasurer; H. R. Nortl.rup, executive vice president, and Edn'ard H. Libbey, secretary, n'ere reelected by the board.

Retiring President Fulton told the directors that NRLDA l.rad been serving its members in splendid fashion ar-rd expressed the opinion that the retail lumber industry as a rr hole is in healthl- condition and performing ntore valuable services to its customers than ever before. At this point the board unanimously approved a resolution deploring the untimely death of Vice President Clement W. Gamble and pledging adherence to the liigh principles for u,hi.ch he had stood.

Executive Vice President Northup stated that the activities to be conclucted by NRLDA during the coming year were designed to meet the needs of the day and predicted that the neu' Aclministration in Washington will give full consideration to industry's viewpoints and endeavor to encourage and aid private enterprise instead of harrassing and condemning it.

The Association's finances are in thorougl-rly sound

John H. Else, NRLDA's Legislative Counsel, reported that it l'as too early to predict what the nerv Adrninistratior-r will clo in the r'vay of housing legislation and deplored the premature attempts of some industry groups to dictate policr- to the imposing Administration. He said there was good reason to hope ior gradual elimination of extravagance in government and reduction of taxes, and a better climate for business generally.

Dealers \\'ere rvarned by Harold P. Braman, assistant manager of the National Savings and Loan l-eague, that attempts rvere being made to sponsor discriminatory tax legislation u'hich might attract funds away from institutions sucl.r as savings and loan associations t hich provide funds for mortgage financing and said it was to the interest of dealers as n'ell as lenders to make sure that suflicient funds are available to finance their customers.

\\'. C. 8e11, chairman of the Educational Committee. reported that dealers everyu'here are shorving great interest in management conferences and said that valuabie experience has been gained in conferences and 'lvorkshops held by the Nortireastern, N{iddle Atlantic, Tennessee, Indiana, and other associations.

He said that, rvhile the committee u'as not ready to recommend any one pattern as being the most desirable, the rvorkshop idea, based largely on dealer discussion, appears to hold special appeal and that materials developed in the N'Iiddle Atlantic and Northeastern workshops would be made available to other Federated Associations.

The committee was agreed, he said that the State and Regional Associations should be encouraged to continue holding management conferences and that NRLDA rvould act as a clearing-house. to assemble and disseminate information on the subject, pending another meeting of the Committee.

The directors also were told that trvo ne.n' educational programs rn"ere being developed to help individual dealers train their own employees in the yard and to guide employees in studying the retail lumber business ancl its products on their own.

These programs will be based on the Dealer Operating Guide and the Dealer Data Book. The guides to be prepared by NRLDA will be made available to dealers through their dealer associations at nominal cost.

At numerous points during the meeting, emphasis .lvas placed on the fact that the workshops and other educational programs and materials provide members l'ith invaluable information needed to guide them in meeting competition and distribution problems successfully.

The Lumber Dealers Research Council, according to Chairman Clarence Thompson, expects to complete its studies of windows and of dealer merchandising practices during the first part of next year and is considering nerv research projects on materials handling and otl-rer subjects. The Council plans to hold a spring meeting at .ivhich further decisions will be made.

Donald A. Campbell, chairman of the Standards Cornmittee, submitted a report which led to the action mentioned previously regarding lumber standards and marking

ar,d said that his committee n'ould cr.rntinue to studv the rvhole subject.

A housing panel composed of Norman Mason, past president, \\ralter J. Howard, secretarv-manager, Montana Retail Lumbermens Association and Findley M. Torrence, secretary, Ohio Association of Retail Lumber Dealers, told the board that the industry needs to sell the public on the fact that good housing is rvell rvorth the money it costs. They added that the industry shorrld participate in der.eloping a sound plan of slum clearance, that private industry has developed good low-cost housing, and that the availability o{ such housing should be brought to the attention of tolvn and city officials.

They recommended that private lending institutions should be persuaded to take an interest in Title I, Section 8 housing and called for FHA approval of the Open-End Mortgage.

In reporting on NRLDA's Public Relations Program, Chairman Creden stated that the Nlinute Man program, u.hereby individual dealers send nen's releases to their local ne'rvspapers and radio stations continues to shorv excellent results and urged the managers of the Federated Associations to appoint additional Nlinute Men rvhere possible.

He expressed the belief that the nen' Public Reiations Contest to be held next year tvould attract even more entries than the 1952 contest and urgecl dealers not to be modest about telling the industry of the good work they do in their local communities.

\|(/lll Stroamline \(/ood' And Mill Activities

Enumclalv, Wash., Oct. 23-The big rvaste-burner at \\'eyerhaeuser Timber company's White River branchsymbol of the lumber industry that has caught the eye of countless travelers over the Chinook pass highrvay-is livirrg on borrorved titne.

"\\re're going to let it go black and, eventually, rve lvill tear it down." The ln'ords came, vesterday, from Garfield Olson, manager of Weyerhaettser's White River operation near here. "Elimination of the rvaste-burner is part of a program to integrate and streamline our u''oods and mill activities at White River," Olson continued. "Our aim is more complete utilization of the forest crop."

\\rel erhaeuser officials and engineers have been making a detailed studl' of the White River operation for the past year. Among the changes projected are the substitution of trucks for the present system of rail logging the addition of a hydraulic barker in front of the sarvmill a"nd revisions within the sawmill to effect a more efficient handling of the srnaller diameter logs that rvill be harvested from the \Vhite Rir.er tree farm in years to come.

Rail logging has been a fixture at \\rhite River since 1904 and the shift to truck logging is a major one. The "offhighrvay" log trucks will operate on company roads bringing their loads to the log pond via the converted main-line railroad grade. A special log dump for trucks rvill be built and the 1og pond 'n'ill_ be enlarged to provide additional storage.

A pile drir.er is already at t,ork preparing a foundation for the new hydraulic barker. When the construction is

completed, logs will be lifted directly from tl-re pond to a log deck at the head end of the barker rather than with the conventional "bull chain" conveyor.

Bark t'ill be removed from the logs and converted to fuel along u'ith sawdust and shavings to provide steam and electricity for the plant. Barked logs will move on chain conveyors to the sawmill. Material not suitable for lumber manufacture, such as small tops, defective logs, slabs and edgings, rvill go to the chippers and be shipped to Weyerhaeuser pulp mills at Everett.

"We anticipate doing the great bulk of the nerv construction and remodeling without interrupting production," said Olson. "Hbwever, certain portions of the mill will be required to shut down for short periods while rvork is being done in the immediate vicinity. A general shutdo'ivn of approximately 30 days will be necessary to connect up with present mill facilities. The two-week vacation period will be set during this shutdown if construction schedules perm1t.

"The key change inside the sawmill will be the addition of a log cut-off saw and the substitution of a fast, short-log carriage for the present double-cut rig," Olson continued. "The storage area ahead of the gang saw (machine which reduces partially squared timbers to boards or dimension) will be enlarged to permit a more efficient breakdou'n of the log at the headrig and fewer changes at the gang saw.

"Inventories made on sample areas have prol'ided us with detailed information on diameter, height, volume and species of the trees in White River tree farm," said Olson. "This information on the future 1og type, together with studies on sau'mill layout made at various Weyerhaeuser mills, resulted in the present modernization program. ft's our biggest step ton'ard complete utilization of the forest crop."

(Continued from Page 59)

' In addition, Nfr. Creden reported that the National Plarr Service has agreed to develop tu'o ideas recommended by the committee: the preparation of zr series of Hon'-to-Do-It sheets for dealers to provide to customers as a means of enabling them to use materials properly and efficiently and the development of a program to guide dealers in acquainting school children with the products and services of the retail lumber industry.

NIr. Creden also said that NRLDA rvill give active support to promotion of the Nlortgage Advance Plan (OpenEnd I\Iortgage) and thanked the building industry publications for their excellent support of the public relations program.

'Everett B. \\rilson, Public Relations Director, described the development of the Dealer Operating Guide, rvhich has been unusually rvell received b1 the industry. He said that 11 chapters have been issued to date, four more have been printed and are ready for distribution, two more are out being approved, and four others are being prepared. The directors saw for the first time four new chapters on Estimating, Merchandising, Display, and Personnel, together

'ivith the first of a series of procluct sheets u'hich rvill con-stitute the section on product information in the Guide.

He explained that in 1953 members will receire one new chapter and one product sheet each month.

The Budget Committee recommended a moderate increase in dues rvhich was approved by the hoard, as were a series of amendments recommended by the By-Laws Committee, including a provision under rn'hich the Texas Association becomes a separate Region with representation ;on NRLDA's Executive Committee.

There is good reason to expect that there lvill be an r ample supply of mortgage money in 1953 as a u'hole, al- lthough there may be some local shortages in the early part of the year, according to Miles L. Colean, economist, '"r'ho addressed the board. Mr. Colean expressed the belief that the private building industry can look for a more constructive attitude toward its problems on the part of the neu' Administration and that for the first time in a good many years the industry can make recommendations w-ith confidence that they will receive due consideration.

It u'as announced that the 1953 board meetings rvould bel held in Washington during May and Sun Vallev, Idaho, in September.

Dougfas Fir Beetle

A double-pronged forest catastrophe, second only to the famed Tillamook Burn in severity, has struck the Douglas fir forests of \Arestern Oregon and killed more than ten billion board feet of prime timber,

W. D. Hagenstein, chairman of a recently formed Subcommittee of the Northr,vest Forest Pest Action Committee, reporting in October to inter-agency membership, said a new pest, the Douglas fir beetle, had teamed up with a vast windstorm to rvreak havoc on two million acres of Oregon's rich virgin forests.

About one billion feet of timber has been killed in the past year, Hagensteir-r reported, by the Douglas fir beetle. Another nine billion feet was blown over by extremely high rvinds of hurricane velocity during the winter of 1951-52. Additional damage may run two to five billion board feet.

Much of the blor,v-dorvn timber has been infested by the beetle, which finds in the freshly destroyed timber an ideal breeding place.

The problem no\\/, the forester warned, is to salvage as much of the dorvn and beetle-infested timber as possible in the quickest possible time. There is no known means of checking the beetle b1' spraying.

Surveys which revealed the timber killed, he said, were made under the direction of A. W. Greeley, Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, and R. L. Furniss, entomologist in charge, U. S. Forest Insect Laboratory, Portland.

These surveys show that the scattered nature of the blowdowns make salvage exceedingly difficult. One reason is that much cf the heaviest blowdown and beetle-kill has been in wilderness areas not yet developed with systems.

Furniss told the committee that additional heavy killing by the beetle is expected during the next tu'o or three years and the situation could become increasingly serious if rvinter storms blou' down more timber.

Another threat to western Oregon forests stemming from this vast area of dead and dying timber is fire danger, Hagenstein stated. Blowdolvn is exceptionally heavy along ridges rvhere the wind had full sweep, and here is rvhere bad fires could get underrvay, posing a threat to surrounding green timber.

Loggers and lando'ivners have been urged to undertake a vast salvage program. Much of the timber will deteriorate once the beetles have made their attack and should be taken out as quickly as roads can be built.

Salvage of this timber appears to be the Number One task of C)regon Douglas fir owners in the next five years. Roads are needed, Hagenstein said, to salvage the killed timber, and the combined efforts of private and public forest agencies will be required to develop a road system into the most heavily infested areas. In many cases, these roads will have to be built several years in advance of the projected schedule where tree farm owners are operating on a long-range cutting cycle. This will be a costly job and 'ivill upset management plans in some areas, it is thought, unless maximum cooperation can be realized from all interested companies and agencies.

Annual surveys throughout the area have been urged on all landor,vners to determine the extent of spread of the beetle and also to keep posted on any additional wind damage.

A unique feature of the aerial survey of the vast 13,500,000 acre area came to light during the committee meeting. A skilled forester rode the low-flying airplane and mapped out the wind-throw and beetle-infested areas during each flight. Nlost of this aerial flying survey work rvas done during July.

Cost of the aerial survey was $83,600. Th" Douglas fir beetle has always been present in forests of this region, but reached epidemic proportions only when a vast lush breeding and lunch table was set for him in the billions of feet of u'indthrown timber. The beetle bores through the bark and takes up residence in the cambium la1'er of the tree t,here he lays his eggs, increases, and feeds.
