Lumbermen's Associofion

The West Coast lumber industry heartily endorses the recent action of the Federal Housing Administration in calling for. lumber grade-stamped by a recognized agency in homes it insures. Effective date of the requiremeirt. al announced byFHA, is April 1, 1960.

Itecognized grading bureaus in the West Coasf 41s2among them the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau, the Pacific Lurnber Inspection Bureau and oth.er independent gra4ing agerlcies-are prepared to meet the requirement with efficiency and dispatch.

The grade-stamping of lumber will relieve FHA personnel of the Llnnecessary burden of being "trained lumber graders" in additior-r to their other responsibilities. It will assure home buyers that the lumber used is in accordance with carefully-considered FHA standards.

Actually, the regular flow of lumber to the job site is not expected to be seriously disturbed. In the case of West Coast lumber, a large proportion of the "Construction" and "Standard" grades has always been officially gradestamped. Some but not all of the "Utility" grade has been stamped, although this grade is currently-being used widely and, satisfactorily.

In its Minimum Property Star-rclards, the FHA spells out where each of these grades may properly be used in home construction, with appropriate sparrs beir.rg assigned to each graoe.

West Coast "Utility" studs, for example, lnay be used for walls supporting roof and ceiling only-which means all single-story construction-and for the top story of multistory construction, and, of course, for all non-bearing partit10ns.

"Ut-ility" boards and shiplap, of course, have always been tused for solid roof boards, wall sheathing and sub-fiooring.

The wider widths of "Utility" dimension are acceptable as rafters, flat roof joists, ceiling joists and floor joists when used in accorclance with Minimum Property Standards for One and TwoLiving Units. FHA bulletin -No. 300.

as compared to 14 days by conventional n-re thods.

Simple handyman projects with an unusual flair-such as a "relaxation" board that can be used by adults to improve the circulation and by children as an indoor slide-help build traffic and sales volume.

The "relaxation" board, which any handyman can put together in less than an hour, can be used to highlight a special promotion or a newspaper ad. For a special event, a model may be used to demonstrate the idea of the inclined board, which health experts say relaxes the muscles and improves circulation.

A piece of Masonite ft" Tempered. Presdwood, about 2 feet wide and 6 feet long, is supported by lx2-inch framing on the sides and ends. The framing on the sides is terminated about six inches from each end so that a space or "lip" is formed to fit over the headboard, chair, bed, window ledge or other object that is used to support the board.

Elevate the board about 12 to 15 ir-rches when using it to relax. Always have the head lower than the feet so that thc blood can clear the brain. The board also can double

In this method of kiln drying, which is a new application of dielectric heating, power is supplied by a radio frequency generator, and the heat radiates outward from the core of the wood driving the internal uroisture before it to the surface. This is the advantage in process time over the conventional method when heat is applied externally to the wood. Also, the tenperature of the wood and the kiln can be rapidly established and maintained or controlled to suit the requirements of the wood in process.

The report of these tests, PB 151301 An Evaluation of a Dielectric Heating Method for Drying Black Walnut Gunstock Blanks, K. A. Jorczak, Associated Engineers, Inc. for Springfield Armory, U.S. Army, may be ordered f ronr OTS, U.S. Department of Commerce. It contains l5 pages, price 50 cents.

THE LOOK OF TEXTURE

"Personality" is the one-word success story behind its "Cottage" prefinished paneling, says Georgia-Pacific Corporation. The new paneling line features natural growth characteristics in the wood, thus assuring the buyer that every panel has its own chatacter. Increasing corlsurner interest in paneling with individual characteristics brought about addition of the "Cottage" series. All panels in this series contain burls, wild graining, and small, tight knots which give enough variation in appearance to satisfy the homeowners' desire for walls that have an individual touch. Initially offered in two species, Oak and Birch, the line has now been expanded to include Oak, Walnut, and six tones of Birch; Natural, Antique, Blondtone, Cherrytone, Greytone, and Mapletone.

Something new in decorative surfaciug plastics has caught the young lacll-'s eyethe new dimension of texture.

'fextured Textolite* is the procluct, madc by General Electric. It is shown at left con.r1>ared to the same Honduras Mahoganl' u'oodgrain pattern in a conventional satin fi n ish.

as an indoor slide for pre-school age children if the end is raised slightly. Hook the l>oard on the side of a bed or on a window ledge so that the children can slide clown.

Masonite's smooth surface and countersunk screws assure a smooth surface that will not scratch the children. If the board is not going to be used as a slide, a cushion of foan-r rubber can be added to make the board more comf ortable.

ARMY TESTS ELECTRO-KILN

The Army Ordnance Corps has experimented with the new electro-kiln method of drying lun-rber with good results on black walnut gunstock blanks, according to the Office of Technical Services, U.S. Department of Commerce. Gunstock blanks were dried from a moisture range of l0 to 7470 to a range of 4 to 67o in only a few hours,

Anrong the advantages claimed f or the new surface is the elimination of objectionable glare, particularly important on horizontal work surfaces such as desk and counter tops. Another is that woodgrain patterns, like the one above, became much more realistic with a textured surface. The finish is also said to show wear and fingerprints less readily than the traditional gloss or satin firrishes of laminated plastics.

Textured Textolite is available in selected colors and patterns, including solids, nrists and grains, in standard sheet sizes.

Accorcling to Boyd W. Bullock, rnanager of marketing of the company's lanrinate<1 Products department, Coshocton, Ohio, major Textoiite distributors now have cor.nplete stocks of the new textured pattern. Among those recently receiving their areas' first shipments of the new laminate are The Coralite Conrpany, Los Angeles, Calif., The Western Wholesale Company, San Bernardino, Calif., The Case Proclucts Company, San Diego, Calif.

As with Georgia-Pacific's entire line of prefinished hardwood plywood, the Cottage series has the exclusive "family-proof" finish. Size manufactured is the standard 4x8-foot panel in fl-inch thickrress (nine and ten-foot lengths are available on special order). Randorn-plank effect is obtained through use of vertical vee-grooving.

WEYERHAEUSER GUARANTEE ON VERSABORD PERFORMANCE

Tacoma, WashingtonSilvatek Division of Weyerhaeuser Company announces a performance guarantee and a newly initiated grade marking program on its Versabord particle board floor underlayment. Each panel of Versabord floor underlayment going out to the trade from the plant now carries the Weyerhaeuser Versabord A-A face label, a circular design, indicating "A" grade face both sides.

The grade marking reflects the conrpany's research program and the quality control system that assures manufacture of Versabord to close tolerances for every factor that is important to the user for floor underlayment. The new Weyerhaeuser guarantee is based on Versabord performance in over 80,00O homes, more than 24,000,000 ft. in actual use throughout the country, with neg- ligible complaints on quality and performance.

Although The Celotex Corporation recommends applying tapered edge gypsunr r,t'allboard at right angles to framing menrbers, nrany times roonr dimensions and la1'out are such that installation parallel to frarning rnembers elinrinates extra cutting, fitting and joint treatment.

Each sheet of Celo-Rok Regular Wallboarcl is marked with two parallel lines of frame locators spaced 16" o.c. on the boarcl's long dimension. The "frame finders," printed with a special ink that fades with exposure to natural light, speed application ancl help assure nailing alignment.

Markings are also imprinted on Celotex Fi-Rok, a special 5/8" g1'psum wallboard with extra fire resistance for assistance to l>uilding code authorities.

For further information, contact The Celotex Corporation, l2A S. La Salle St., Chicago 3, Ill.

Because a performance guarantee depends on proper application of the underlayment as an element of a complete flooring system, specific instructions are printed on the back of each guarantee certificate, spelling out the correct application procedures.

The new Weyerhaeuser performance guarantee, the quality control program, and grade marking progran at the plant, plus the clearly spellecl out recommended procedures for use of floor underlayment in flooring systems, will help the floor underlayment and building industry appreciate the values to be gained from the use of high-quality particle boards.

The Warehouse and Delivery Crew

A businessman's letters should refect his character. If he is mean. he should write mean business letters.

If he is genial and friendly, he should write that sort of letters.

It is true that the mean and sour individual should write business letters of the same character as himself.

But nobody else should who wants to stay in business.

So let us talk about the sort of business letters the average decent, friendly businessman should write.

It sometim", h"pp".rrJtoo*oftJn we are told-that some very human fellow engaged in business will, for some hardto-understand reason, write the wrong kind of letters.

He will be genial, kindly, interested, enthusiastic, and yet write business letters that read as though he were cold, wet, hungry, thirsty, disappointed in love, and suffering from acute indigestion.

Frisk yourself, Mr. Businessman, and see if by any chance and perhaps unknown to yourself, you are one of that sort of letter writers.

Do you write human letters to human beings? Do you let warmth, interest, kindliness creep intoyour business correspondence? Do you make it your first aim in letterwriting, regardless of how trivial the subject may be, to put some feeling, some personality into your words?

*{<*

There isn't anything better that you can do for your business than to invest your best brains in your businessletter-writing. There isn't anything that gives a customer a bigger chill than a business letter that reads as though it had been written in monosyllables by someone sitting on a cake of ice.

It is wise and the better part of business valor to give a bit of thought in advance to the writingofa letter, and discover how to take some of the uniform, orthodox starchiness out of its construction. Limber it up, color it up, change it around, and make it talk to the receiver as though it were a personally delivered message, with firm hand clasp attached.

,.*{<.

A warm, friendly, honest smile; a warm, friendly, honest hand-clasp; and a warm, friendly, honest letter-these are three of the greatest things a man can invest in his business. And the thirdis perhaps the most important of all,

because yoi can always reach a man with your letters whom you seldom see in f"t"i". *

Asfar as the other kind of letters are concerned, they should never be written by intelligent men. A man writes an unkind, thoughtless, or critical letter, drops it in the mail box and it is gone. He can never get it back. The perhaps little thing that caused him to write it soon disappears and is forgotten. But the letter remains. And the bigger man the writeris supposed to be, the smaller that letter will make him appear. *{<*

The fellow on the receiving end of the line may not know the writer at all, may never have seen him, and may not know him personally at all. He must judge him by his letter. He may not understand that the writing of bad letters is just an unfortunate habit with the writer. He may not be in position to know that the writer is really a very kindly fellow who loves his fellow man.

All he can do is read the letter over and wonder down deep in his soul why the Lord lets such crabs live and take part in business matters.

The thorougfrty *ortti*t ii" Ul"irr"ss man is one who never deliberately and knowingly steps on the corns of another fellow. He seeks by word and deed-and letter-to make a kindly impression on those whom he contacts in person or by mail; seeks to make them feel better because they talked to him or read a letter from him. Such a man is worth a dozen men who allow their tempers to creep into their personal contacts.

There isn't the snaaovi or ln J*.,rre for writing unkind business letters. No situation that arises justifies them. Edmund Burke said of Benjamin Franklin "Everything is play to him." What he said and wrote were kindly things. And so he was much loved. Eugene Field was one of the greatest letter writers America ever produced. No matter how sick or harassed he was. or how much trouble he was in, his letters were written sunshine, and the world loved him for it. ***

Writing mean letters is worse than saying mean things because, while the words may be forgotten, the letter remains. It is well to remember that there is nobody in this world whose bad opinion you can afford to have. And for a business man to write ungenerous things to any man on any subject is just a plain blunder, every time.

Lumber filonufqcturers Preview lO-Yeor Plon to Put Wood Aheod of lts Competitors

Washington, D.C.-In a colorful hour-long presentation backed ,p by slides, films and statistics, the Nalional Lumber Manufacturers Association laid before the lumber industry a dynamic proposal for a lO-year, multi-million-dollar, research-advertising-trade promotion program designed toput wood ahead of its competitors in the race for new markets of the 1960s.

Tt-t" presentation, highlighting an annual meeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Nov. 9-12. at the Statler Hilton hotel, was given by industry principals, NLMA staff members and the VanSant-Dugdile advertising agency of Baltimore. Industry principals participating in the program included Robert M. Ingram, Aberdeerl Wt.b. ; Thomas J. McHugh, Boston; C. H. Bacon, Jr., Seattle, ar-rd A. B. Hood, Anderson, Calif.

The program calls for new or expanded marketirrg activity by the lumber industry in five broad areas

1. An enlarged technical promotion field activity to make sure that all builder and dealer personnel. all architects and engineers, all school ar.rd comnrunity leaders are completely up--to-date on tl-re latest advances in wood technology.

2. A progressive industry program of product and market research to find new ways of building with .ivood and new products utilizing wood.

3. The development and total industry use of a special "salesmark" to c-ertify the quality of wood proclucts -our- factured by subscribers to the program.

4. A powerful all-media advertising program, including use of network television and top consumer and tradi magazines, to create g'reater public awareness of the many attributes and qualities of wood and associate these qualitiel rvith the proposed industry "salesmark.

5. A complete merchandising and product publicity program to tieall these activities together and carry wood's newmark and aclvantages to builders, u'holesalers and retailers.

In outlining the proposed lO-year program, NLMA Executive Vice-Presider-rt Mortimer B. Doyle called attention to the prospect of expanding markets during the 1960s. _ "Population growth, an increase in the rate of new-family formations and a continued rise in living standards will offer the lumber industry-and its competitors-great new op- portunities during the next ten years," he stated.

"fn construction and other areas, there should be a sig- nificant increase above present levels of activity. llowever, there is no guarantee that our industry will gain its fair share of these new markets.

"Wood's competitors-the manufacturers of steel, brick, aluminum, plastics and similar materials-are already spending millions of dollars on research and

marketing activities. The lumber industry can gain its share of the new markets of the 1960s only by an all-out effort to put itself in a dominant position in relation to its competitors."

Doyle pointed out that the presentation, viern'ed by some 300 ir-rclustry principals attending the NLX{A meetirig, was cleveloped in line with tl-re reqtlest of a National Wood Pronrotior.r Comn.rittee which mit last Jurre in Atlantic City.

The proposal for a lO-year program is an outgrowth of a $1.3-million-a-year National Wood Promotion Program lattnchecl by the lumber industry late in 1958.

Lumber Industry Urged to Increase Research Trade Promotion Outlays

Product improvement and better sales and distribution methods hold the key to greater markets for lumber ancl wood proclucts, declared Robert M. Ingram, president of the National l-umber N{anufacturers Association. He urged that lumber manufacturers and distributors join in sponsor- ing the lO-year, multi-million-dollar program of research and trade promotion, to put the lumber and wood products industry in a dominant position in relation to its competltors.

Ingram said the lumber industry can meet the challenge of competitive materials "only if we put a new and greater emphasis on creative selling and better distribution-only if we accept change and prepare to take advantage of that change."

Ingram spoke at the annual meeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, one of the heaviest attended

iu many years, shortly after industry principals had rvitnessed the presentation of the suggested l0-year program.

Ingram said the lumber industry must match in Marketing the progress it has made in Forest Xilanagement and lncreased Log Utilization. In this connection, he asserted:

"Today's progressive companies are dedicated to permanent operation and the complete utilization of every log. No longer is it the general practice to cut all the trees in an area, then close down until r.rew stancls can be found.

"Today's progressive lumber manufacturers are taking steps to assure a perpetual supply of public and private timber for themselves and others, in order to put the lumber industry on the same basis as our competitors.

"Along with this trend, today's progressive lumberman is making full use of every log that's cut. Chips, shavings and sawdust that once were burned are more and more being tnrnecl into profitable by-products."

What the lumber industry must also do, Ingram explainecl. is "continuallv expand its markets to accommoclate irreser-rt'ar-rcl future ptod.t.tio.r." He added :

"Itather than downgrade our planning to accommodate tl.re less progressive elements of our industry, we mrlst gear orlr programs to the aggressive lumberman, to the fellow u'ho'ivants to be in business at least a generation from nor'r', to the company that is determinecl to provide perpetual jobs for its employes ancl a continuecl fair return to its stockl.rolclers."

FHA Chief Sees New Starts Rising

FHA Commissioner Julian H. Zimn-rerman predicted that the nation's housing inveutory 'ivill more than double by the yeal 2000 and new home starts, including farm units, rvill rise to an unprecedented rate of 2.25 to 2.5 million annually.

As his forum fora maior address. "The Next 40 Years in Housing," Zimmerman chose the annual meeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, representing firms responsible for a major share of lumber and wood products output in the U.S.

present outlays for housing and home furnishings at $108 billion annually, Zimmerman said this figure may increase to about $335 billion by the year 2000.

"We are estimating that this year private non-farm housing starts will number in excess of 1,300,000 units," Zimmerman oointed out.

"On the basis of our previous projections of population growth and household formations, I believe we can look forward to total starts, including farm units, numbering between 2.25 to 2.5 million units annually by the year 2000."

Zimmerman placed the present housing supply at more than 55 million units, more than 30 million of them owner-occupied. By the end of the century, the housing inventory will number about 115 million units, 75 million of them owner-occupied, he estimated.

Zimmerman's preview of conditions in America during the next 40 years included these predictions, based in part on previous studies by private and government sources :

2. The gross national product, the nation's total outptlt of goods and services, could rise from an estimated $490 billion in 1959 to a whopping $1.5 trillion by the turn of the century.

3. Meclian family income, in terms of 1956 dollars, could increase from $5,100 to about $10,000 annually.

4. Price of the typical new home may jump from $13,500 to the $20,000-$25,000 class. Families who buy these houses will get "better value, dollar for dollar, tl-ran they do today because of the great advances that are being made in building materials and techniques," Zimmerman asserted.

5. The total number of households in the U.S. may rise from about 51 million at Dresent to 100 milliorr bv the vear 2000.

Zimmerman said the lumber industry has done a "wol.lderful job of conserving the American forest" by finding ways to raise "rnore.and..more lumber" and practicing "more and more conservatlorl."

WOOD IN A TIVING ARCHITECTURE

Speech by Henry Hill, San Francisco Architect, Before 1959 Annual l\4eeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association

November 11,1959

Washington, D.C.

I thank you for inviting me here today for two reasons: It is good that you have asked for a voice from the West Coast; and two, I hope that I can give you something of the Architect's need Let me, in an over-simplification, tell you what a few are doing now. The Architect is no longer designing the enclosed 161-61 3 series of boxes-with holes punched into the walls through which

WUNDTING.NATHAN. . a nante that has meant Sineere Seraiee in lumber sinee 1914

to peek out. (The so-called "picture window" with its cellophanewrapped lamp shade in the middle, is only a larger 'hole). We are concerned with SPACE, and the three-dimensional definition of that space.

The wall is now a screen to define solid, void, flexible, obscure, grill, or even a curtain of glass-glass, not for its own self, but for what it gives The Architect uses his materials as a technical means to realize his new concept of architecture.

Now, mine is only one man's opinion, for you to accept or reject. I do not advocate one material over another; however, I love wood and, in many ways, I prefer wood over any other material with which to work.

I have read in a recent issue of the Architectural Forum that today lumber production is 15% less than it was 50 years ago. To me this does not make any kind of sense. I feel that during this period, the public (and the Architect) has grown to feel that wood is for residential work only-and when it appears in larger work, it is mostly as a decoration, or as a softening effect only. Is this good enough? And why has it come to this?

The Architect is GIVEN the information that he can span 'so and so'with steel and concrete. Can he do it with wood? Where can he find out? Who will help him? Where is the knowledge (and knowledge that is up to date) ? He knows that other materials are fireproof. The public knows this, too. It is not all the Architect's fault that he does not know that wood may do the same-ancl that woocl, too, can be fireproof. What a waste it is if you have not shared this information with him.

Contrary to the East coast, residential work in the San Francisco Bay area is the backbone of the Architect's ofince. It is safe to say that of this residential work, 1@/o is wood-frame construction. And I will say this: How shocking it is when you have the sympathetic Architect, who WANTS to use wood, who DOES BELIEVE in it, who turns to you, and is sinrply told that "it can't be done."

What tools for the use of wood have you given us? The Woodwork Institute of California has given an excellent one in DETAILS OF MILLWORK FOR CASES.

We have nothing for framing. Take the actual post-the muliion itself. It is the structural and finish piece in itself. A typical corner mullion in my of6ce is shown as made up of two pieces with the glass held by a single stop.

To you, there is the wonderful and simple economic fact: Wood IS economical, and this is NOT an apology; it is simply a positive force in its favor. An architectural problem is only to be realized and solved in three dimensions, by the balance of the SITE, the PROBLEM and the BUDGET. These are in balance, and therefore, are equal Budget sirnply being one of the three.

Why has wood slipped, and is slipping, ir-r use? Here is one ancl, I believe, vital reason, from the Architect's point of view. The Architect is a "standarcl," a corner mullion of-quite literally-l5 pieces! Our typical mullion is one piece. A so-called "standard" is made of 8 pieces; one shows 16 pieces for one mullion. To realize his belicf and conviction, the Architect has in the past (and unfortunately in the present) developed his detailing by himself. We have nothing that we can use for the framing of openings-this SPACE I have spoken of.

A few years ago, the Woodwork Institute started a wonderful survey-Architects cooperating, giving their details-but nothing came of this. What we do have is hopelessly outmoderl, details of 50 years ago, and for East coast conditions at that.

The California Redwood Association has done a good job, but it is not enough.

"Wood is inherently a vital and living material. More than any, other material we have, it has an extraordinary abundance of the best that is in the human being: life and warmth, and a vital quality of expressing itself so that we all unclerstand it immediately, and with understanding. These qualities are understood and accepted-and, most of all, desired.

"To me; above all, wood has a dignity. To rne, it follows that wood must be treated with dignity. For this there is no apology."-Henry Hill (left), San Francisco architect, in speech to National Lumber Manufacturers Assn.

You had given us plywood, and the laminates; which is good, but not enough. More and more on the laminates, give us the research and the findings of the research!

What you have done is so little, it hardly counts. No wonder we are being threatened by being swamped by the damned curtain wall !

I do not say this to "tear down," but to point out a situation which I most sincerely believe must be corrected-corrected by research fol development, to explore and to lead, and to share. I believe that this is your responsibility.

It has gotten to the ridiculous point where some want wood to pretend to be something else or wood is distorted out of all recognition. In turn, other rnaterials, through photography or other means, are bending head over heels in order to be made to look like wood. Wood has a dignity and beauty of its own' It hardly needs our help to achieve this.

Ilut we wish to use it wisely and well. We ask for help-in standards and stock sizes for today's needs, conclitions, convictions and beliefs. Points I may have made are not made as unproductive criticism, but as an explanation on which to ,base a plea to you for your knowledge, with understanding, for our action. Can you meet this?

I sa1' yes. Many of you know that you can. But let us ALL know, and as loud as you can! Do we as a profession know? Are you helping us ?

So rnuch for the "general." Now to be specific. After I talked to the Forest Products meeting in San Francisco, ar-rd the Forest Products I)ay meeting in Sacramento, saying rnuch the same, I suddenly got a lot of maill To be extreme to illustrate a point, r,vhat I got in bulk were colored photographs, glossy paper, many many worcls, anrl practically no meat.

As a further example-in the current issues of professional magazines there is a gorgeous photograph of the Oregon Forest Products pavilion. Who gives us this? You, or your advertising agencies? Who knows your facts, you or the agency?

Organize and coordinate your effo,rts into one with one direction-to give us knowledge. You have in your material a living quality that is shared with delight and understanding by all mankind. And you have it within your capacity to share and contribute this.

I thank you for the opportunity to say that this you MUST DO.

Yole Forestry Deon Finds the Russiqns Resort to Copitolist Systems to Get Out the Lumber

New !Iry.l, Conn.The Soviet Union is lagging behind the United States in both quantity and quality of wood products, says Dean George A. Garratt of the Yale School of Forestry, who was a member of a seven-man team of forestry experts from America who spent a month last summer touring. forestry schools, wood-products plants and the Iorests oI l(ussta.

Wood production is being speeded under a severl-year plan, but "the progress to date appears to be in the area of mechanization rather than in the technology of wood use." As a_ result, he went on, "improvements in quality of wood products in the Soviet Union are not rrearly-so siriking as the increases in quantity."

In several of the wood-product plants the American foresters visited, he said, "the processing appeared plagued with outdated_ design, backwird methods ^of produciion, antiquated and..inadequate machinery, and low- quality oi the production."

The vast forests of the U.S.S.R. cover some 2,827,000,000 acres, he said, as compared to 784,000,000 acres of total forest land in the United States. But most of the Russian forests are softwoods and its hardwood stands are much less.than American, both in extent and in diversity of specles.

In output, Russia produced 34 billion board feet of sawed

l.q-!9_t in 1958, as against American production of close to 40 billion board feet.

-"IJnder the seven-year plan," he continued, ,.production goals for the forest industries in Russia call for a markecl increase in virtually all categories of wood products. In contrast to_the expected 1959 manufacture of prefabricated houses in the equivalent ol I07 million rquare feet of floor space, t_he S9vlet sawmills have a goal oi three tines this output by 1962."

Production goals, however, are still far below American production figures, he declared.

He said the American foresters found a ..general use of cap.italistic incentives, such as the bonus system, as a spur to increased productivity."

To the heart of the weariest winter, Through the mystic silence of night, Comes a gracious and gentle presence With largesse of joy and delight; And the pulses of life are quickened, And the hours of darkness depart, And blossoms of love and devotion

Unfold in each waiting heart.

The past with its cares and sorrows

Fades from our thoughts away, When the bells of Christmas are chiming And the children are happy and gay. For over the hills of tomorrow, Where lush, green meadows lie, A brave new age is dawning, And the clouds are rolling by.

Sometimes our hearts are weary, And the way seems long, so long; We are weak and our burdens are heavy, Life's triumphs are for the strong; And then we hear the music That foats from realms afar, And around us lies the glory Of a far and ageless star.

To the heart of the merriest season, Through the hours of the fading year, Comes the festive Spirit of Christmas With gifts of good will and cheer; And the.sweet old bells are chiming For a new day just begun, And again it is Merry Christmas ! May God bless everyone.

Fourteen golfers captured a turkey (literally) each at an annual Turkey Shoot, sponsored by Dubs, Ltd., at the Crystal Springs Golf Club in Burlingame, November 20. The "Turkey Tournament," the 131st monthly Dubs gettogether, also featured golf balls ancl free libations (on the

club) for the runners-up. Prexy Paul Gaboury presided over an excellent steak and lobster dinner at the clubhouse following the tournament. Winners who "brought home the turkey" were:

Joe Finilla, 54 (net scores) ; Frank Benzon, 57;Ev Lewis, 60; Art Bond,62; Ben Ward, 67; F,d French,68; Jack Crane, 69; Doc White, 69; Al Soulage, 70; Tom Jacobsen, 70; Bill Bonnell, 70; George Monnier, 70; Tom Gray, 70, and Bill Johnson, 70 (handicap chairman-note those last six scores).

Retirement Ends 6O-Yecrr Lumber Cqreer

A retirement party honoring Oscar Nelson, veteran East Bay millwork and lumber man, was staged by his fellow u'orkers and the principals of California Frame Shop at The Cottage in San Leandro, November 1. A relative "newcomer" rvith California Frame, Nelson had been the cor.rcern "only" 18 years. A major part of his 60 years in the industry was spent with the old California Door Company, rvhich lvas located near the 16th Street station in Oakland. Nelson logged some 40 years with that company before it closed its doors for good. Nelson then spent a few years 'ivith California Builders Supply before joining California Frame. It 'rvould seem that Oscar is a little oartial to the word "California," so it would be an educated guess that he'll enjoy many years of happiness during his retirement in the Golden State.

The 402nd Terrible Twenty Tournament was held at Soutl-r Hills Countrv Club. November 20. rn'ith Bob Dilworth and Frank Ruppert as hosts. The tournament was beautifully handled but let's castigate that greenskeeper that placed those cups-way back-behind traps-on slopes. I saw 7}-foot up-hill putts and never heard of so many four-putt greens, with BobDilworth in the background chuckling. But some of the vistas on those back holes are really spectacular. In afew years when the young trees get size, South Hills will be one of our finest courses.

ASPHALT STRIP SHINGLES APPROVED FO'R INSULATING ROOF DECK SLAB

Asphalt strip shingles have been approved for the first time as a covering for insulating roof deck slab in new application specification sheets prepared by the Insulation Board Institute. Otlrer highlights of the new insulating roof deck slab application specifications announced by Charles M. Gray, IBI manager, include revised nailing specifications and a change from "k" values to " C" values in the method of measuring thermal conductivity of the laminated slabs.

He pointed out that the addition of asphalt strip shingles to the list of IBI-approved coverings means that roofs of insulating roof deck slabs can be aplllied faster and more inexpensively than ever before. This type of deck nou' is a more versatile architectural product, on steeper roofs than previously was the case. Maximum recomrnended pitch had been up to only 3 inches per foot with builtup roofing.

A free copy of "Specifications for Applying Insulating Roof Deck Slarb" can be obtained by writing Charles M. Gray, Manager, Insulation Board Institute, lll West Washington Street, Chicago 2, Illinois.

Fred Holmes Enioying Leisure But Keeping Hand in Lumber IndustrY

Readers of this magazine have for many years been seeing the dynamic, attiactive Christmas advertisin&of the Holmls Eureka Lumber Company in the issues of December 15 each season. The staff of this publication missed the colorful full-page ad when it came time to send this issue to the presses, and we decided to ask the veteran Fred V. Holmes how he has fared in the year now since he sold the old company to The Pacific Lumber Company last December. The following isMr. Holmes' reply:

"Thanks for your nice letter asking how I have passed the time since Holmes Eureka Lumber Company was sold and I retired the first of the year.

"Well, it has been quite a change. Holmes Eureka was my active working lifi for so-e 45 years.-It was ?.ver.y enjoyable life becalse its success was based on the friendship of good customers who favored us over the_ years. 'Ihit's what I missed in this retirement year. Yet the year has gone like a minute because I have kept very active. -

"Iltarted out by taking my grandchildren to Disneyland. Marineland and the Hearst Castle. We then sold our home in Berkeley, where we lived for many years and raised our family, and moved to a new honte near the golf course in Orinda.

"I have been going after salmon ottt of the Golden Gate, casting for steelhead on the Klamath River, and this Fall I have'specialized on looking for ducks at daybreak (mailly looking ancl not sl-rooting during these r'veeks of 'bluebird weather').

"I maintain a Sau Francisco ofrfrce in the Russ building u'ith Blanche Schaefer, former Northeru California sales mallager, irr charge. It is almost unbelievable how much papeiwork that fias to be dorte to close ottt a 5S-year-old iom1,any. Besides, we still operate the Fortuna 2evelop- menl Co., a subsidiary of the Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, wl-rich we did not sell.

"The above gives you the highlights of nly activities during 1959 and now I am 'cooking up' plans to do some extensive traveling during 1960.

"Yes, I miss Holmes Eureka Lumber Comparly aud not selling lumber toour many friends, arrd I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Holmes Eureka Lumber Company ei-customers a real Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year'

yours truly, Fred Holmes."

Longfellow Wrole:

I heard the bells on Christmas day, Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet, the words repeat Of "peace on earth, good will to men."

.And in despair I bowed my head, "There is no peace on earth," I said, For hate is strong and mocks the song Of "peace on earth, good will to men.'

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep, "God is not dead, nor does He sleeP ! The wrong shall fail ! The right prevail ! Q With'peace on earth, good will to men'."

A Wonderful Life

It's great to be an editor And sit up late at night, And scratch your wool, And shoot the bull. And write and write and write.

Modern Orotory

There are two kinds of latter-day orators: There is that brand of windjamming in which the orator tells his audience what he is going to tell them.

Then he tells them.

Then he tells them what he's already told them.

And then there is the type of orator of the old school who uses qr6sds-g13ny words-to cover up any particular meaning he may have. After the opposing lawyer in the case has spoken, he rises and says:

"Resting upon the couch of Republican liberty as I do: covered with the blanket of Constitutional panoply as I am, and protected by the aegis in American equality as I feel myself to be, I despise the buzzing of the professional insect who has just taken his seat, and I defy his attempt to penetrate with his puny sting the interstices of my impervious covering."

Those Hq'irs

A man guest in a hotel complained to the manager that he had found a hair in his ice cream, a hair in the honey, and a hair in the applesauce. The manager considered the matter and said:

Mdn's Food

What should I eat for dinner?

What should I feed my hide?

Is food that broils the best for boils?

Or best the food that's fried?

Is juicy roast or just plain toast best for me to eat?

I devour the food that's sour only food that's sweet?

All would be well if I could tell

Just what will do the trick .

And if too thin my blood has been, What makes it nice and thick.

Oh well, oh wellif I could,tell . .

It really gets my goat;

So I will start with a la carte

And end with table d'hote.

I'll make my break for juicY steak, Potatoes and green Peas.

And then I'll travel all the way

From oysters down to cheese.

On such a hike I'm sure I'll strike

Exactly what I orter;

If not I'll still have vitamins

On just a glass of water.

Couldn't Tqke lt

-Van Dyck

When the lawyer learned thathis client had inherited $2,000,000, he remarked to his secretary:

"I'll have to break it to him gently, or the old man will drop dead."

So he said to his fortunate client:

"Mr. Jones, what would you say if I told you that you have inherited TWO MILLION DOLLARS?"

The old man grinned, sensing a joke, and said:

"I'd say, old friend, that you can have half of it."

And the lawyer dropped dead.

AThought for Chrislmqs

We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath; and inall changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving one

"I don't understand all those things. Of course the hair in the ice cream came from shaving the ice; the hair in the honey could have come from the comb; but I can't under' stand the hair in the applesauce-they were Baldwins." to another.
