THE CALIFOR}*IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

How lrumber Lrooks

Seattle, Washington, December 11, 1943-The weekly average of West'Coast lumber production in November (4 weeks) was 162,157,000 board feet, or 106.8 per cent of 1939-l9A average, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 152,835,000 board feet; shipments, 161,601,000. Weekly averag'es for October were: Production 158,723,W board feet (104.5 per cent of the 1939-1942 average) ; orders, 164,604,000; shipments, 165,350,000.

Although a "holiday month," November saw the 'West Coast lumber industry exceed by 6.8 per cent its 1939-1942 production average. This brought production for 47 weeks of 1943 up to a point only 10.3 per cent below the first 47 weeks of. 1942. The industry made a strong recovery dtrring the summer and fall from the most severe winter in recent years, during which production had dropped. to 74 per cent of the comparable 1942 period. The driest September and the wettest October on record hampered fall log production, while war requirements for lumber were rapidly rising. The industry's record has been made through months in which manpower in the woods was short by more thau ?5 per cent. The November drive to meet war needs was in the best tradition of West Coast sawmills and logging operations, and it continues.

There is no immediate prospect of a letup in war demands for West Coast lumber, as channeled through the Central Procuring Agency from 17 war agencies. The productive

energies of the industry must be concentrated on meeting these demands while thev last.

The Hardboard Industry and America's Future

Bv R. G. \Tallace Vice President, Masonite Corporation

If evidence is needed to refute the pessimistic view that American resources are drying up and that we, as a nation, have reached the peak of our industrial expansion, one need only look at the record made during 1943 by an industry that did not even exist 20 years ago-the hardboard industry.

Even before America's entry into the war, and the cottsequent demand for greater production of all kinds, hardboards and pressed woods were filling many needs in industry, as well as in the building and construction trades. Today, hundreds of manufacturers of essential war and civilian goods have turned to wood plastics, adapting them to additional uses undreamed of a few years ago.

The great future of hardboards, however, lies not in the place they have earned for themselves in wartime production, but in peacetime adaptation of these uses and in the many new fields which American ingenuity and research will find for them in the post-war period. Hardboards have done a hard job well, and industry has accepted them, not as temporary wartime expedients, but as tried and tested raw materials with infinite uses.

Increasing demand for wood plastics and semi-plastic hardboards by America's war industry reached such a peak in the second year of the war that nearly all its output was diverted from pre-war uses to the production of essential war and civilian goods. In spite of manpower shortages and other hazards generally experienced by all businesses today, the industry has established a remarkable record, and, in the case of my own company, one that has received high recognition in the form of an ArmyNavy t'E" Award.

One of the first of the great industries to turn to hardboard materials was the booming airplane industry, which used the controlled plasticity of lignocellulose pressed woods to make dies for routing, forming, shearing and stamping the light metal parts used for wing and fuselage sections. Every airplane manufactured in the United States today for service on battlefronts contains thousands of parts formed on Masonite die stock.

When restrictions were placed on the amount of metal which electrical manufacturers could use in the production of fluorescent lighting reflectors, the electrical industry turned to hardboards. Pressed wood, they found, will take a high enamel finish which produces eight to ten per cent more illumination than the old type rnetal reflectors.

In the farm field, companies supplying poultry and farm equipment in the home front battle to maintain our food production at a high level, discovered that hardboards and pressed woods are ideal for the prefabrication of chicken houses, feeders, hog houses and other structures.

After the war, wood plastics will again provide new opportunities for the builder of both prefabricated and conventional type homes. The same type of pressed woods that' provide strength, economy and ease of fabrication ft r dies that stamp out parts for airplanes will lend these qualities to the construction of future houses.

I am neither a scientist, an economist nor a prophet. But to anyone who questions American industry's potentialities for growth and development, I offer that which I do know-the great-advances made by my own company and my own industry. That many other industries can present equally impressive evidence of expanding oPportunity and capacity for service, I have no doubt.

It is further significant that, in the case of the Masonite company, the many products which developed from the late William H. Mason's invention of pressed wood only twenty years ago, are, for the most part, manufactured from the slash pine which otherwise is virtually useless in the lumber industry.

Far from entering the confines of a restrictive economy, there is every reason to believe that our country stands on the frontier of an era in which man's increasing ability to put the resources of the earth to work for him will mean a better future for all of us. As this ability is translated into practical developrnents to provide employment for labor and a fair return to those who have risked their capital to make the venture a success, that future will be realized.

Forest Harvest Jor New Year Tied to Overseas Combat

By Wilson Compton Secretary-Monager, Nationol Lumber Manufocturers Associotion

Lumber has had two emergency jobs within the global war emergency. The first is all but completed, the second has scarcely begun.

So heavy will be military demands for lumber and other wood products in 1944 that there is no reason to believe that any substantial a d di t i o n a I amounts of forest materials will be routed to domestic civilian uses in the coming year.

The lumber industry, in the last three years, has witron connptoa been dominated by four chref tactors:

1. Even before Pearl Harbor, the producing industry felt the impact of war domination when it was called upon to furnish the principal materials to create the basic United States military training establishment.

2. By the time this establishment was near completion, lumber inventories no longer were important. They virtually ceased to exist, as current production felt the pressure of increasing demand.

3. Even though the military construction program passed its peak, there was no letup. With no time lag for creating new inventories, m,ilitary operations-as contrasted with military training-taxed the industry even more heavily.

4. Through all this period, because so many forest and mill workers had been drawn away by other war industries and by the military forces, adequate lumber production confronted such a manpower problem that, in 1943, with a labor

deficiency of nearly 25 per cent production declined in the face of an ascending curve of packaging and other requirements.

The fact that lumber is a versatile material, and can be directed into any one of the hundreds of war uses, caused it, at the start of the emergency, to be drained away from retail outlets faster than almost any other marketable commodity. This meant that retail lumber dealers were among the first community merchants whose activities were seriously curtailed by the war.

But, because of this versatilit5 lumber merchants will be among the first to benefit from renewed domestic demand in the normal civilian market. The product of the green chain and the dry-Krln can roll just as quickly to a building site on Main Street as to a defense production center. The lumber merchant will have a head start, while his neighbor, the automobile dealer, is waiting for his factory to revert from tank or plane production to pleasure cars.

Some men hale believed that when the twin projects of housing troops and housing war workers were substarr tially completed, demands on wood would have passed their peak. It is true that military and war plant construction in 1944 will be only about 3O per cent of such construction in 1942, for most of the barracks and factor'ies are built. That is true, also, of most civilian war housing.

But this conclusion does not take account of the gigantic task of maintaining fighting forces in the field, and this is a task to which we have scarcely put our shoulders. The secretary of war recently pointed out that only about a third of American fighting forces have even started toward the various theaters of action.

As I write, returns for 1943 are not all in. Yet it is apparent that military.boxing, crating, and shipping alone will have used, in this one year, between 12 and,15 billion board feet of lumber. This is between 36 and 45 per cent

On this dawn of a New Year, ivhicil'finds nearly ten million young Americans in uniform and fighting for their lives and ours, it is with some definite reservations that a thinking person says-"HAPPY NEW YEAR." With more than half the world at war and the remainder blanched at the fearsomeness of all this bloodshed and violence, the words ttMerry" and ttHappy" mlust necessarily be used with mental reservations. * ,r *

But we can and do wish our friends of the lumber and building industry wherever they may be, a peaceftrl, hopeful, and thankful holiday season. ![/e can and do express the sincere trust that the year that is dawning will bring to the industry better things, and that when 1944 rolls OUT as it is today rolling IN, peace and the spirit of the Lord will have come back again to the people of this su.ffering world' !r !F !r

We look back with satisfaction and gratitude to the many kind and friendly acts and words that have come our way during 1943, smoothing our pathway during a trying year. We have tried to make this a journal of practical service during abnormal times; trying by helpful suggestions and unbiased advice to point the way through the fog. We are grateful to our friends for accepting our efforts along that line in so generous a*fashion.

Those of us who hoped that by the end of 1943 the lumber industry would have emerged from the fog and climbed the final hill of wartime conditions, have been doomed to disappointment. It would be foolhardy, indeed, to fail to admit that 1944 opens with more serious problems facing the lurnber industry than prevailed at this time a year ago; or that ever prevailed before in history. Which simply means that the industry must use both its brain and brawn

as it never did before, in this continued sunrival of the fittest battle that the war has brought upon us. Wc shall try to continue to point out in these columns, practical and intelligent ways and means by which this battle may be won. .Suffice it to say right here that 1944 is going to be a poor year for the faint-hearted.

So, in place of ah" ";o;; "Happy New Year," we wish our friends in the lumber industry the gifts of high courage, and faith, and sticktoitiveness. May they at dl times be able to work, "Ttt.l live, laugh, and love.

How about having a whistling New Ycar? For the fcllow who knows how to whistlg and whistles, is a benefactor to hurnanity. Just pucker up your lips and whistle. Whistle the poison out of your soul. Whistle the bitterness and despondency out of your heart. Whistle hope. Whistle cheer. You never heard an unhappy man whistle. You ncrrer heard a discouraged man whistle. The old remark about whistling through a graveyard to keep up your courage is all hooey. If you're scared, you can't whistle. Whistling is a sign of courage, hope, joy, faith. So keep whistling.

Hang onto your ,"rr""1r1*lro", and keep it well polished and in working order. That's a fine thought for the New Year. The antideluvian I have the most respect for is that man, whoever he was, who first brought to the world the rqusic of laughter; that rnusic that drives fears from the heart and tears frorn the eyes; the man who first sowed with merry hands the seeds of humor. F'or laughter is the blessed boundary line between man and brute.

I believe in the m"aicirre 1t 1rrir,rr, in the long life of laughter. Every man who brings joy and laughter to his fellows, benefits them. In a world such as \n/e see about us todan anything that causes laughter to triumph over tears,

is worth whilc Discard solemnity. It is the brother of stupidity-alv/ays. Show me a solemn man, and I'll show you a dutt and stupid one. That's been my experience' at least, and what better teacher can a man find, trhan experience? I love the man over whose lips flows frequently the mufc of laughter. I don't like sarcasm. I don't care so rnuch for wit. Humor I love. It soothes. There is the same difference between wit and humor that there is between a bcc's sting, and its honey.***

Here's another New Year thought that has some sound sense behind it. Keep yourself fit. Study your physical equipment and keep it in good running order so that you -and not your heirs-may enjoy whatever fruits your offorts may create.

Irt|l

Dream a bit more this year. Men cursed with too literal minds, rniss a great deal as they go along. Such men are usually so bwy mending their nets that they have no time for fishing.

|lltl

We might well pray for some worth-while freedoms for the New Year. Freedom from want, freedom from fear, and the otter fundanental freedoms, have been among the strongest desires of mankind ever since old John Stonehatchet started trying to feed himself and family and carved a cave for a home frorn the hillside. But there are ot'here much to be desired right now. Take freedom to wo,rk, freedom from confusion, freedom from inefficiency, free-

dom from power-madness, freedom from political chicanery, freedom from "who-the-hell-caresr" atld various otherE. We could use a lot of those jrlaoms this year.

Helpfulness would be a grand thing to strive for this New Year. For helpfulness is the most dazzling star in the firmament of human characteristics. Helpful people are God's most gracious gifts to society. A man may possess no great gifts of mentality, money, or infuence, but if he is helpful and works at it, he stands shoulder high above the gifted, the rich, and the powerful who lack that spiritual inclination.

Hang onto your balancing pole in 1944. Once upon a time there was a young man who conceivcd the idea of becoming a tight-rope walker. He stretched a wire a foot or so above the ground, got a balancing pole, and forurd that walking on the wire was surprisingly easy. Before long he threw away the balancing pole and proudly declared that he walked the wire as well without it. F'uU of confidence he then stretched the wire from the top of his house to the top of his barn, and started to wdk it. The funeral was largely attended. *

Someone asked Oliver Wendell Holmes one time why he made it a rule always to attend church services on Sunday, and the great thinker replied that he had discovered in himself a little plant called reverence that needed watering at least once a week

Among other things, the war is teaching us every dav that a man should stick to his specialty. Look how much better off the Italians would have been had they stuck tcr grand opera.

Our air attacks or, ""irn n""" *** Hitler a splendic chance to practice up on some of our popular old American songs. Take "Keep the Home Fires Burning," for example. That ought to go good in Hitler's realm right now. When the German listening posts hear the bombers coming, instead of an alert they might start a band playing, "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." That would be clever. fnstead of the "all clear" signal after the bombers leave, a su/eet rendition of "Smpke Gets In Your Eyes," would explain the matter. And when the folks at home get to asking Goebbels how much longer the baptism of fire is going to last over Germany, he might have the orchestra play "Night and Day." trr|l

It is doubtful if the New Year will produce any event of its kind to compare with the now well publicized dinner that our representatives to the far East conferences helped stage; the one where some fifty toasts were drunk amid scenes of garish splendor. When King Henry the Eighth, of England, had his glamorous meeting in 1520 with Francis the First, of France, a British historian, reporting the meeting wrote: "Nothing like it will ever be seen again on

earth." But Time Magazine quotes a journdist as saying with regard to the recent one in the East: "The most spectacular meal since the Lord's Last Supper."

And wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if sometime before the New Year ends, we could take the alphabets away from Washington, and give them back to the school children?

1943 marked the passing of an unusually large number of men whom f loved and respected. The harvest was a shocking one, but as we grow older the law of average speeds up. One by one they passed beyond the twilight hills to that realm where the innumerable dwell, leaving behind them their wealth of thought and deed; their imperishable memories. Several of the most unforgettable men I ever knew, died this past year. While it is true that the memory of a brave, honest, useful, lovable man is a heritage that makes the world a better place for those who remain to live in; yet the loss is none the less keen.

Pray well for the survival of private enterprise during 1944. Hard work and personal ambition and initiative built America. Remember this: no recipe aiming at the destruction of a nation could improve on one to let the government do for the individual those things that he should do for himself. Anyone 'iyho wishes the government to tale care of him, has missed the entire purpose of existence, w[ich is to develop one's talents and devote them to tAe progress of the race.

'Western white pine logs produced in Washington and Oregon West of the Cascade Mountains were given dollarsand+ents ceilings December 13 by the OPA.

The new prices are approximately $1 per 1,000 feet log scale, higher than the previous ceilings. Formerly maximum prices were those charged during September-Octobet', !942, ander the provisions of Maximum Price Regulation No. 348 (Logs and Bolts). This amendment transfers the pricing of this species of logs from Maximum Price Regulation 3€, and places them with other West Coast Logs under Revised Maxirnum Price Regulation 161 (West C,oast Logs).

For white pine logs produced in the Puget Sound, Willa' pa Bay-Grays Harbor, and Columbia River districts, the new ceilings are $34 per 1,000 feet, log scale, for No. I logs; $25 for No. 2 logs, and $19 for No. 3 and camp run logs.

For white pine logs produced in the Southern Oregorr' Tillamook District, the new maximums are $2 per 1,000 feet below those for the other three districts, the customary industry differential.

The new ceilings were established by OPA after a study of petitions by log buyers. The grades used in the establishment of ceilings have been in general use in the area.

of the total cut, actually substantially more, for this purpose alone, than the entire industry produced for all purposes in 1932.

Boxing, crating and shipping lumber is the largest item, but other uses are on the increase, too. Some are large like the trucks and trailers, others small, but they all add up. In1942, we produced three times the wooden ships that our yards turned out in 1855, peak year of sailing ship construction. Tonnage was not as great, because of the large number of small combat craft, but in 194.3, and probably also in 1944; this use of wood will be greater. Half the cellulose for our smokeless powder now comes from trees. I cite these instances, not because they are comparable to lumber in volume, but as indicative of the fact that the war will still need wood for a wide range of uses.

The impact of war has brought lumber production to its highest peaks since l9D, and that despite dangerously serious problems of manpower. More than 36 billion board feet was produced in 1942, yet about one-fourth fewer men were employed in our sawm,ills and in the woods than in l9D, when substantially the same amount of lumber, was cut.

Despite heroic efforts of operators and employees alike, production has sagged somewhat in 1943. The result has been that demand has out-stripped production. This is reflected in further declines of lumber stocks to a new low. By January, 1944, mill inventories of lumber will have dropped to little more than 4,500 million board feet, two billion less than in 1943. At the beginning of. I9D, it wilt be recalled that mill lumber stocks exceeded 11,700 million board feet.

So it may readily be seen that 1944 will be nip and tuck. When our armies in action overseas reach millions, we may expect demands .for lumber and timber products to increase, rather than decrease. Lumber dealers generally may expect no relief in lumber supply next year, unless our enemies collapse in a sudden and unforeseen debacle. There is no use pretending otherwise. Dealers have no choice but to continue in 1944 as they have in 1942 and. 1943, using every available resource to hold their place in business against the time when, once again, they may sell lumber and building material freely. Most dealers

from Page 6) have given a phenomenal exhibition of business resourcefulness under these difficult circumstances.

For those who are able to bridge the gap, rewards promise to be great. Little or ordinary private construction has gone on for two years-how much longer, we can only guess, though-the Office of Civilian Supply, WPB, has predicted a substantial recovery of ordinary building within six months-but, because of that very,fact, we are approaching possibly the heaviest residential construction program yet undertaken.

We will end the war with the most pressing housing shortage in history. This deficiency is not entirely warborn. Even from l9?.O to 1930, when x'e built an averag'e of 700,000 new homes a year, we scarcely kept pace with current needs. But, from 1930 to 1940, we fell behind. During those ten years, we built 2,700,0N new dwellings, yet we ended the decade with d500,000 more non-farm families than we had in 1930. Ilere was a clear deficiency of l,800,000 family units, taking no account whatever of losses by destruction or depreciation, or of farm needs, always one of our ch,ief markets.

This trend has been accelerated since then. In 1940, we had 200,000 more marriages than in 1939. The 1941 birthrate was 14 per cent higher than in 1933. In 1942,3,000,000 babies were born, an all-time record in this country.

Aside from emergency war housing-specialized in location and temporary in character-virtually nothing has olfset even the deficiency bequeathed us by the depression years.

The needs accumulated then and being added to now are the basis for the prediction that we will be building a million new homes a year for 10 years, starting soon after hostilities cease. This homebuilding program alone, greater than our greatest, would consume 1,339,000,000 man-hours on the site, per year. To produce the needed lumber would require 279,595,W man-hours. To manufacture other materials for house construction, 1,677,57U,ffi more manhours will probably be required. This adds up to employment of possibly e000,000 men for 10 years for new home construction alone. The construction industry, beyond doubt, will be the first and perhaps the largest single factor in the battle for post-war employment.

These estimates do not touch the improvement market. Competent men foresee a home-and-farm improvement program totaling some six billion dollars. I would hesitate to compute how much commercial construction will follow the war, but I dare say almost any lumber dealer or contractor may profitably spend time today planning store improvements and repairs for his fellow merchants, whether in a large city or small town.

Lumber will start rolling to retail yards the instant the WPB order releasing stocks to civilians is signed in Washington. WPB will do that when the war needs permit and not sooner. Nor do we wish it sooner however much we want to provide for "old customer."

Our sawmills and other wood-working plants have no serious problems of retooling. The cancellation of war contracts should cause little more than momentary disruption, for we can swing with scarcely a break to the task of reducing the files of unfilled orders that have been gathering dust.

It is time to get construction projects translated from vague hopes to definite plans now. Dealers and contractors whose customers have their final blueprints ready, their estimates completed, and their financial arrangements well considered will be the dealers and contractors who will feel the recovery first, and who will be able to take fullest advantage of a new and expanding market.

I would include with this a thorough understanding of new materials and new ideas in design. Much that has been written on the post war "dream house" has been pure fantasy. While those in the industry are not deluded by

pipedreams, we must recognize that, to the public, most of the improvements in materials and methods developed during the war years will seem new. To the home builder, they will be interesting and even exciting. That, too, is a psychological tool in our hands. 'We can use it if we keep ourselves well informed of the developments in our own industry, and in close touch witi sources of supply.

It is easy, perhaps natural, for lumber dealers to conclude that manufacturers are not much concerned with their difficult plight. It may seem so. But it is not so.

Here again, we must face facts. Forest industries, large in total, are in the main small individually. Our industry is not dominated by a Detroit or a Hollywood or a Pittsburgh, as are the automobile, motion picture and steel industries. One of the largest producers-perhaps the largest-of softwood lumber produced only about three per cent of the national total in 1942. The mounting pressure of war production has weighed heavily, indeed, upon the thousands of small sawmill units that normally supply the construction industry.

Our manufacturers have not had much time to talk about the post-war, but it is in their minds and in their plans. Fortunately, their plans need not consider how they may switch from war to peace. The process will entail no severe problems of mechanics and plant reconversion. It will take place, when the time comes, mostly in mill or sales offices, when the files for WPB and OPA and WMC and USES are moved to the "permanent" records, and the files for Jones & Company, Lumber Merchants, are shifted back to the "current" drawer. That can be done quickly, and it will be.

Receives Shipment of Extra-Long Plywood

The largest sheets of plywood ever shipped into Los Angeles arrived a few weeks ago at the E. K. Wood Lumber Co. These Resnprest Douglas fir exterior plywood sheets were 36 feet long, 6 feet wid,e, /s inches thick, and 5-ply construction. These long pieces were made by using five regular sheets of plywood with scarf joints and joined together with phenolic resin glue bond.

The shipment came from the M and M Wood Working Co. of Portland, Ore., included 150 pieces, and totaled 32,400 board feet. Due to their length they had to be loaded in an end-door automobile freight car.

To load them on trucks, it was necessary to use 10 x 10 inch by 36 feet timbers on the bottom of the truck owing to the length of the pieces.

They were for the Wilson Co. at Wilmington for use in aircraft rescue boats.

Denics Request for Increase in Ceiling Priceg for all Southern Pine Lumber

Washington, D, C., Dec. 16.An industry request for an immediate increase of $5 per 1,000 board feet in ceiling prices for all Southern pine lumber was denied by the Office of Price Administration today.

The request for the increase was presented to OPA through the Southern pine fndustry Advisory Committee, which stated such a rise in prices was necessary because of increased costs. The Committee asked OPA for the increase for an interim period pending completion of a cost study which the Comrnittee said would justify the price advance requested.

Denying the request, OPA said:

"It is OPA,policy to grant price increases only in situations where a study of production costs clearly indicatcs that producers in a given industry cannot continue operations without undue hardship.

"The Southern pine industry, as in previous price relief requests, must supply OPA with complete production cost figures before the price agency can consider any change in ceiling prices."

The Industry Advisory Committee said that to compile and submit complete cost information to OPA would require "several months."

"No action with regard to increasing Southern pine ceilings will be taken until the cost study, when supplied to OPA, has been carefully analyzed, by price department officials," the price agency added. "The industry has been inforrried that no action affecting Southern pine ceiling prices generally can be expected. Should the findings disclosed by the cost study indicate tlrat some relief will be necessary, the matter of possible action will then be considered."

Southern pine production costs were analyzed by OPA only a short time ago-in June and July of this year-and as a result of the analysis ceiling prices were raised an average of $3.20 per 1,000 board feet.

The net sales realization on Southern pine lumber sold in 1941 was $32.95 per 1,000 board feet. (Net sales realization is net sales divided by footage of lumber actually sold.) In 1942 the net sales realization on Southern pine was $36.52 per 1,000 board feet. This year, it is estimated the net sales realization will be $39.72 per 1,000 board feet, or an increase of 20 per cent over 1941. ITTOM$AI,I

A New Year Suggestion in Economics

If you are a married man and absolutely must drink' start a saloon in your own home, and begin to build up a nice fortune that you can retire on when you are old. Be the only customer, and you won't have to buy a licenseGive your wife enough money to buy a gallon of liquor. Every time you feel like buying a drink, buy it from her, and pay her what you would pay the cocktail bar you stop in so often. And pay according to the size of the drink, remembering that the liquor in a cocktail bar drink is mighty small. When the first gallon is gone your wife will have enough money in her saloon till to buy another gallon, and leave her eight or ten bucks over, which she can put away. If you live for ten years and do all your drinking at home in that fashion and finally die of the tremens as you are trying so hard now to do, she will have enough money in her saloon budget to give you a decent burial, bring up your children, give them an education, and still have enough left over to enable her to marrlt some decent guy and forget*all about you.

The lawyer defending the man charged with drunkenness said:

"You know, officer, it is not always easy to be certain that a man is drunk. You say you found him down on his hands and knees in the middle of the road, but that does not prove for certain that he was drunk, now does it?"

The officer said: "No sir, it doesn't; but when you find him trying to roll up that white line down the center of the pavement, I get pretty well convinced that he's a bit on the drunk side."

Lumbermen You Should Know

Benrie B. Bcrrber, secrelcry ol tbe Lumber Merchants Aseociation ol Northern Ctrliloraicr

This will be "a short, short story complete on this page" about a young man who plays a very important part in the retail lumber business in California, Bernie B. Barber. He u,as born in Missouri in 1898, went to school in Yakima, Wash., then to St. Martin's College at Lacey, Wash., and then hopped off for California where he went into the lumber business. He became millwork estimator for the Tilden Lumber & Mill Company, Berkeley, then uras sent to the downtown office in Oakland where he did the millwork figuring for three large millwork plants' He became manager of that office. In 1930 he started a planing mill at Palo Alto, that burned in 1932, and he joined up with The Diamond Match Company, staying with them until 1935. He was made secretary of the San Joaquin Lumbermen's Club and the California Lumbermen's Council, and moved to Fresno. When those two associations disbanded and the Lumber Merchants Assoqiatidn of

With Western Hcndwood Lumber Co.

Orval Stewart has joined the sales staff of the Western Hardwood Lumber Co. at Los Angeles as an outside salesman.

Orval was connected with the purchasing department of the Timm Aircraft Corp. the past several months. Prior to that he was with the Cadwallader-Gibson Co., of Los Angeles for eight years, spending the first few years in their yard at Long Beach, and then became one of their salesmen. He is well known in Southern California lumber circles.

Northern California was organized, the directors unanimously reached out and got Bernie for secretary. And that's where he is now.

His big job is seeing to it that the lumber dealers of Northern California are kept intimately and practically in touch with all the rules and regulations under which the industry now operates, and he has given splendid service in that vital work. ft's the kind of a job where the intelligence of the manager can keep the members either in or out of all sorts of trouble, and it requires a combination diplomat, building specialist, and second-sight specialist to do it. Bernie Barber is a highly competent man in a highl,v specialized job. Besides he is ruggedly honest, a natural friend maker, and he enjoys the trust and affection of the lumber industry he so well serves. He has been tried and found worthy.

Deatg Sash & Door Co. Moves to New Building

Deats Sash & Door Co. recently completed their new building at 935 East 59th Street, Los Angele* Construction was started September 1. The machinery was moved from the old building at 911 East 59th Street, and a nurnber of woodworking machines purchased from Pacific Wood Products Corp. have been added with the result that this firm has one of the largest and finest plants of its kind in California. Moving was carried out without interrupting the work, which is 100 per cent connected with the war.

The plant employs 75 men and it has been kept very busy. This concern specializes in handling full mill bids. They are now turning out the millwork for a housing project at Coronado, Calif., being built by Robert E. McKee, Los Angeles contractor.

Deats Sash & Door Co. also manufacture the "Raynproof" screen door, a patented article.

There were formerly four Deats brothers in the business. Two, Marshall and Tom, have withdrawn, and the business is now a partnership conducted by Levin and John Deats.

Firm Publistres Newspaper

A newspaper, "Deats Shop News," is published monthly by the Deats organization, and mailed to former employees of the company now in the various services. These number 41, and there is one gold star on the company's banner for "Bud" Slivkofi, a Marine paratrobper, killed in action November 19 at Bougainville Island.

The newspaper is edited by Donald Jackson of the Deats office staff. All news is collected and written by employees and interesting letters are published from employees in the service in various parts of the world.

The paper performs the double function of keeping men in the service informed on what is happening back home among their former fellow workers and the whereabouts of other men in the service, and also prints the news from the boys overseas for the benefit of the men in the Deats plant. A fine idea which other firms might copy.

Sends Out Ietter on Scles Tcx

C. W. Pinkerton, Governmental Service Bureau, Whittier, has sent to the retail lumber dealers a copy of a letter he received from the Sales Tax Division of the State Board of ftualization. This letter is the result of a conference held at Sacramento, which Mr. Pinkerton attended, and it outlines the procedure the dealers can use in protecting themselves on future tax liability in granting exemptions to Governrnental agencies.

Enlcrges Yqrd

Gamerston & Green Lumber Co. recently purchased an additional acre of ground on Dennison Street, adjoining their yard on Livingston Street, Oakland. This gives them access to both streets.

Another improvement made at this yard is the asphaltic concrete surfacing of additional 'gangways and loading areas.

IIARDWOODS FOR WAR ITEEDS!

Los Angeles Yard Conveiled to Mechanical Operation

Extensive improvements and alterations to their yard have been made in recent weeks by Baugh Bros. & Co., 5024 Holmes Avenue, Los Angeles, formerly Robert P. Baugh, who cater to the manufacturing and industrial trade, andcarry large stocks of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine, Spruce, Southern Hardwoods and plywood.

The yard, which has a depth of 600 feet and an area of 55,000 square feet, has been converted to an operation handling 100 per cent package lots. Some of the sheds have been raised to 18 feet and others to 24 leet in height, and a Hyster lift truck is used for handling the lumber.

The partners in this company are Robert P. (Bob) Baugh and William E. (Bill) Baugh. Bill is now Sergeant William E. Baugh, and has been in the Army two years. He has been overseas for 18 months, took part in the Tunisian campaign and is now in ltaly. He is in the First Armored Regiment.

Buildingr Permits Sligrhtly Higher

New York, Dec. l5.-Building operations for November were slightly higher than for October and' 39.2 per cent above figures for the month last year, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., reported today.

Total value of permits issued in 215 cities during November was $48,361,780, compared with $48,227,985 the previous month and $34,746,584 for the rnonth in 1942, the Business Information Service said.

Cities in the Pacific area registered an increase of. 247 "8 per cent the report said, reporting $17,662,447 comparcd with the 1942 figure of $5,078,503'

For the first eleven months of this year, value of building permits aggregated $46,721,653, a decrease of 38.5 per cent under the $758,376,536 for the 1942 period.

Appclachicn Hcndwood Lumber

Freight car stock, common dimension, and mine car lumber made of mixed hardwood produced in the Appalachian hardwood region were provided with maximum prices by the Office of Price Administration on December 22. Amendment 16 to MPR 146 (Appalachian Hardwood Lumber) became effective December n, 1943.

Heavy Volume of Construction Ready to Sta*

Los Angeles, Dec. Z7.-I.ederal Housing Administration local office, acting for the WPB, has received over 20,000 residential-unit applications for priority assistance from builders and owners, during the past few months; the applications pertain to the use of critical materials for erecting residences in the Los Angeles Metropolitan locality, according to John E. McGovern, director, Southern California District, FHA.

The bulk of these 20,m0 unit applications were filed during August and October, resulting in a deluge of technical work for the architectural and processing sections of the FHA. By importing trained, technical help and otherwise building up its priority section, the local FHA office by the end of December will have practically completed its processing of all of these applications, so that, shortly thereafter, builder and owner applicants will have the program in their hands for construction, continued Mr. McGovern.

Approximately 1,000 new residential units per month are now being placed under construction by private builders in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area-but for the purpose of meeting the construction schedule as was proposed at the time when the current quota for priority assistance was issued, it will be necessary for private builders and private industry to step up this monthly production to 450O units per month, until the total quota of over 20,000 units has been placed in construction.

It is estimated that the FHA will be called upon to insure mortgages under its Title VI procedure on approximately 90/o of the new construction being built by private capital under this program. Loans may be for terms up to 25 years with interest at 4l/o, plus I of. l/o loan insurance, with equal monthly payments over the term.

Central Hcndwood Lumber

To ofiset recent increases in production costs, the Of. fice of Price Administration on December l1 announced increases averaging $8.75 per 1,000 board feet, or 16 per cent, in ceiling prices for standard grades of hardwood lumber produced in the North Central hardwood region. Amendment 11 to MPR 155 (Central Hardwood Lumber) became effective December 17, 1943.

Western Lumber Advance Approved Dedication of Statue

Producers of larch-fir, Inland red cedar and incense cedar lumber in California, Nevada, Arizona and nine other Western states have been authorized bv the Office of Price Administration to adt $3 per 1000 board feet to basis maximum prices on 12 specific grades of this material.

At the same time, producers of Western Pine lumber were assured of the continuation of the $3 already granted on the same 12 grades of ponderosa, Idaho, sugar, and lodgepole pine, white fir and spruce. This addition is designed to compensate producers for higher production costs resulting from wage increases approved by the War Labor Board.

The WPB recently directed the principal producers of larch-fir to ship their product to the agricultural areas where the lumber shortage is acute. In recognition for the need fo peak productionu the OPA has allowed the $3 addition to be made at this time so that no production will be lost because of the wage increase.

To make sure that WPB's order might be revoked, and cause the lumber mills to face price cuts, led to the OPA ruling that the $3 incrase should be allowed to stand despite any actions of any outside agency.

Iohn C. McCabe's Business Will Be Continued

The wholesale lumber business of the late John C. McCabe will be carried on at the same location, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. M. J. Lewis, who has been associated with Mr. McCabe for many years, is manager.

Dedication services of Christ statue were held at Christ Church, Unity, Los Angeles, Tuesday evening, December 14.

This magnificent seven-foot wood carved figure of the Christ is the work of the internationally known sculptor, Nishan Toor. It was commissioned as a m'emorial to Frederick William Kellogg, publisher, and presented to Christ Church, Unity, by his widow, Florence Scripps Kellogg.

The wood used in the figure is California sugar pine; that of the base, California walnut. The original suggestion for the composition was found in the tiny statue carved by Alois Lang, portrayer of the Christus in the Passion Play of Oberammergau, and obtained from him in 1943 by Dr. Wilson, founder of Christ Church, Unity.

A brother is associated with the Dallas Locomotive and Machine Works, manufacturers oI the Gerlinger lumber carrier.

Chief business before the more than 100 lumbermen who met at the Blackstone Hotel for three days in the 41st annual meeting of the NLMA was the lumber requirements of the war program in the immediate future, research and chemical utilization of wood products, improvement in the condition of cut-over U. S. forest lands, and problems which will arise out of the return of the nation's lumber production to domestic markets at the close of the war.

Principal guests of the lumbermen during the three-day session were Lyle F. Watts, chief of the U. S. Forest Service; J. Philip Boyd, director, Lumber and Lumber Products Division, War Production Board; Col. F. G. Sherrill, U. S. Corps of Engineers; Dr. J. A. Hall, chief biochemist, U. S. Forest Service; and George M. IIunt, U. S. Forest Products Laboratory.

In addition to regular NLMA business there were annual meetings of American Forest Products Industries, Inc. and the Board of Directors of Timber Engineering Company, plus committee meetings of NLMA and AFPI.

On Tuesday evening Mr. Fleishel was host to all the delegates at the annual president's dinner. One feature of

the evening was a tv/o-year report of the activities of Forest Industries Public Relations Program through medium of a sound slide film.

At the luncheon meeting of all delegates on Tuesday, J. P. Boyd informed the lumbermen that military requirements for lumber in l9M were largely dependent upon the developrrlent of United Nation's military campaigns and are likely to exceed by a considerable percentage those of 1943. Mr. Boyd indicated his belief that production would decline ten per cent in 1943 over 1942 and, pointed to the fact that the peak of lumber use in the creation of the domestic war plant was reached early in 1942 and that the procurement problem now is largely one of furnishing lumber needed to equip the various expeditions as the tempo of invasion steps up during 1944.

Col. Sherrill explained new means of material control within the Corps of Engineers which permit the shifting of excess materials from one construction area to another and tend to reduce excess stocks and total material requirements. He also outlined a new program of the Central Procurement Agency to set up regional offices in the South at Charlotte, North Carolina ; Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; Shreveport, Louisiana; and Jacksonville, Florida. The agency already operates an office in Memphis.

Technical experts conducted an interesting research forum on Tuesday morning consisting of a full description of the possible utilization of wood waste in the production of wood sugar. They were Dr. Eduard Farber, chief chemist of TECO Laboratory, Dr. J. A. Hall of the U. S. Forest Service, and George M. Hunt of the Forest Products

Laboratory, who discussed new wood preservation methods. In addressing a luncheon tneeting of all delegates on Monday noon Lyle F. Watts, Forest Service chief, expressed his opinion that a three-pronged program was needed to insure sufficient future forest productivity ro balance a continued economy of plenty in wood utilization.

Mr. Watts' three points were:

l. fncreased public cooperation in the control of fire and other forest hazards, along with increased interest in improved forest regeneration;

2. A fedqral program of forest land acquisition which would bring within the limits of the national forest stands which are now unsuited to private developmrent; and

3. Some form of regulation of cutting practices to insure reasonable productivity on cut-over lands.

Following Mr. Watts' discussion R. C. Winton, chairman of the forest industry's public relations program. orpressed the thought that the ind,ustry's current activities in the public relations field could be of rnaterial assistance in enlisting an increased number of forest operators in the cause of improved forestry.

The annual report of the staff of the Timber Engineering Company was presented in a 44page illustrated booklet entitled "More TECO Jobs . Done To Do !" which featured not only the sale of lumber through the company's effort in promoting the TECO connector system of timber construction but also gave interesting information on the new TECO Laboratory for wood chem(Continued on Page 3O)
