Washington, D. C' December 2A, 1944.

TO THE AMERICAN LUMBER INDUSTRY:

This is our fourth consecutive War Christmas' Only once in our history have we had more than four such Christmases. That was during our War for Independence' This, too, is a War for Independence. It took the terrible Winter of, 1777 and Valley Forge to bring home to the American people then thE magnitude of the task which lay ahead.

The past few weeks have demonstrated the enormous magnitude of the task which lies ahead for the fighting men of the United States. Completely around the world, the soldiers, sailors and airmen of the United States carry the hopes of mankind. They will not fail if we sustain them'

In every walk of life, we must dedicate ourselves anew each day to allow nothing, absolutely nothing, to interfere with the doing of our part in this greatest of all world crises. This can be the most magnificent Christmas gift of

The lumber industry has a big part to play as we move into the future. The war demands are mounting again and must be met at the expense of every other consideration' I want to quote again a message I once sent to a group of lumbermen: "I like to think of the Army and the Navy and the lumber industry as a great trinity of strength, each one dependent upon the other two, and each one with a firm and resolute determination that it shall never fail the other two."

At this Christmas Season, you are entitled to a feeling of satisfaction. With best wishes and renewed hope, let us continue to go forward togethar towards the goal, "Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men." ,,'

-O. A. Demass.

Guess the above verse make6 a proper beginning for a New Year column, because its theme is in every heart' And so to youo friends of mine, who read this column and who do so much to cheer me on to'its continuance, I am again trying to find-as I'have tried in vain for so many other years-some suitable substitute for "HaPPy New Year." And again I have come to the conclusion that there really isn't any. In spite of worries and wars and troubles galore, the old words with the old intent and meaning come tripping to the tongue. It isn't a really happy new year, is it, with all the world aflame and swept with sorrow? But there is still no harm in wishing that happiness-all the happiness possible under the circumstances-may come to every one of us. So, once again it's Happy New year.

* ,r( *

New Year is a good time for a bit of serious thinking' It's a good time to do a little planning-philosophical planning-for the year to come. Perhaps we can't see far enough ahead of us to do any very specific business planning, but we CAN plan our thinking. "And as a man thinketh," you remember, "so is he." Somehow or other I often find that good American poet, Eddie Guest, a mighty helpful fellow when it comes to good, healthy thought equipment. For instance, how about saying THIS over to ourselves as a sort of working chart for the New Year?

"I'd rather have it said of me, When this old journeY's through, That on my way I tried to be, A friend to all I knew, Than have it said I gathered gold, (And then have voices fallBecause they knew when that was said That they had said it all.) I'd gladly go along my way, When my time comes to die, If everybody said of me'There goes a friendly guy.'"

Yes. friends, there's a crying and immediate, twentyfour hour a day and three hundred .and sixty-five day in the year need for friendliness among us folks here at home' There is nothing that can smooth over the difEculties that face us all, half as well as efrective and manifested friend' liness. It's no good if it's just on the lips. You've got to mean it-to live it. Listen to Eddie Guest again on this subject: :r :r :r

"If your motto says 'Smile,' and you carry a frown, 'Do it now!' and You linger and wait;

If your motto says 'Help !' and you trample men down, If your motto says 'Love,' and you hate; You won't get a$tay with the mottoes you stall; The truth will come uP with a bounce; It isn't the motto you hang on the wallIt's the motto fou, l-t_Vl-that counts."

And there is another verse in my scrapbook, right along this line, that seems to fit in here:

"It's the human touch in the world that counts' The touch of your hand and mine, That means far more to the fainting heart, Than shelter, or bread, or wine; For shelter is gone when the night is o'er, And bread lasts onlY a daY, But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice, Live on in the soul, alwaYs."

Kind of corny, ,or, ""j, l*.. "* so are most of the homely thoughts and things that get under our skin, and bring us back in spirit to where we belong. The things that bring the unsolicited lurnp to the throat and tear to the eye, are generally of the kind called corn. Highbrow stufr won't do the job. "Home Sweet llome" and "Swanee River" and "Old Black Joe" and sich like, are all of the corn variety. And thank God for them and all their kind! "Yankee Doodle" and "Dixie" and the "Marseillaise" all come under the head of corn. But men march straight into the cannon's mouth when they're played' No one ever faced death with a grin to a grand opera aria'

Rambling through my scrapbook for useful thoughts to quote at ttte treginning of the year, I selected the following very diversified group, and offer them for your thoughtful attention; and perhaps your scrapbook.

Barry York came along with this one. I tried it on several friends, and it brought a belly laugh, every time. Here it is:

In one of the big military hospitals in this country where they are working on thousands of shell-shbcked and otherwise nerve-hurt soldiers from "over there," one of the doctors has devised a fake operation cure that has worked wonders with many suffering boys in uniform.

Recently they brought him a case, and he said to the young soldier:

"Soldier, I've been doing an operation on a lot of boys in your condition, and have found that it works wonders, and I am sure I can cure you very easily. I'11 just give you an anaesthetic, take out your brain, fix it up and put it in good order, and put it back in, and you'll be as gcoC as new."

So he gave the boy a very light treatment of ether so

that he was out for d couple of minutes, made some light scratches on the back of his neck so that he could feel a little soreness, then put a big bandage on the back of his head and neck. He was soon out of the dope, and the doctor said to him:

"Soldier, I took your brain out, and found it is not in bad shape at all. Come back day after tomorrow and I'll put it back in, and you'll be as good as new."

Two days passed, and the soldier did not return. When a week had passed they sent an orderly out to find him, and he was brought in. The doctor said to him:

"Soldier, I took your brain out Tuesday, and I told you to come back Thursday and I'd put it back in. I've got it all fixed,'and it's as good as new. Why didn't you come back?"

Ahd the boy said:

"Doc, I dont need it! I've got me a Government job!"

Yon ilIust $uhstitute

The condition in which the lumber industry finds itself as this new year opens is as astonishing and astounding as what has suddenly happened to the war situation in Europe.

The fact is that what happened to our war plans is exactly what has happened to lumber. Four months ago everyone was guessing the date-always before Christmas, 1944-when Germany would get out of the war. Plans were being made in accordance with the belief that the European end of the great war was practically over.

We heard and read of scores of war plants closing or preparing to close; of hundreds and hundreds of war.plants that were rushing their studies of reconversion to peacetime production, instead of guns, and shot, and shell. And in the lumber industry we expected to see a great change take place in regard to lumber supply. By Christmas we thought we would see much lumber turning into civilian channels, restrictions and regulations lifted or eased. The whole country was getting ready for the end of the European war.

And suddenly-everything changed. No need to go into the story. It is biting deep into your consciousness as you read these lines. No one knows when the European war will end. And all the war plants that were closed, closing, or contemplating closing, suddenly took on renewed life, and the cry for more men to operate them rose to the ver/ skies. All of a sudden we heard a call for more men. more guns, more ammunition, more everything that is needed to fight a war that suddenly grew bigger than anyone, apparently, had estimated.

And lumber, instead of turning toward more and more civilian channels, was suddenly grabbed by the slack of the pants and the nap of the neck and cast headforemost into the very maw of the great god of war. We thought we were in the war up to our ears even before this happened. We're over our heads right now. Everyone in authority who knows what they are talking about tells us that there is a far greater need for lumber now than there ever was during the past year, that the need seems to exceed the possible production, and that the war effort wants everything the sawmills can turn out, and wants it quickly, furiously. It isn't just a need, now; it's a wild demand.

You, Mister Lumber Dealer, get the picture as it really is, and don't let anyone soft-soap you into believing it is anything easier. Now, and for months to come, lumber is going to be scarcer, harder to get, and more strictly regulated in its use than ever before in history. Lumberless lumber yards are going to be the fashion for some time to come. There will be some variation in the famine, depending on locality, but generally speaking the above statements are Gospel.

This, of course, will come as a great disappointment to the lumber dealers generally who have been looking forward so eagerly to the day when there will be lumber in

tlse

By Jack Dionne

their lumber yards again; lumber for ordinary use; lumber of quality and usefulness, and not the kind of stuff they have been forced to handle in the last couple of years.

But it is not a great shock, for the dealer who txists today has been learning in practical fashion for two years to make money in a lumber yard, with very little lumber. Ife has found that it can be done. He has found that he can make money doing it. He has found that his trade understands his position and is amazingly tolerant of his efforts to supply them under great difficulties.

So, the live lumber dealer and building material merchant is going to meet this new crisis just as he has met so many since the war started. He is going to put his thinking cap on, likewise his working clothes, and he is going to figure out what he can sell and how he can sell it to the advantage of his customers in the immediate future.

Substitution he must indulge in as he has never done before. His every bit of ingenuity must be devoted to discovering merchandise he can get and sell.

In this column one year ago today, under the title-"Let's Take Off Our Blinke15"-f told the dealer to get ready to run a comparatively lumberless lumber yard in 1944; told' him what he could sell that his trade would buy; enumerated scores of things that the dealer could get and sell, if he went at it right. That editorial was reprinted and quoted more than any other business editorial in the history of this journal.

I am just egotistical enough to believe that it was of great benefit to the lumber dealers generally, because its advice was followed by tens of thousands of dealers the nation over. And most of them survived the vear: and should survive the year to come.

Every yard cannot follow the same line of procedure that every other yard does. Each locality will have its differences of condition; also of supply. Some merchandise will be procurable and salable in one locality, that will not fit another. That's what the dealer has got his brains for; to fit his situation to his business.

I asked the manager of a line of very progressive lumber yards what they were doing right now to meet the lumberless situation. lle wrote; "At different points we are doing different things, depending on our personnel, town, conditions, etc. At some places we have regular racket stores, in every sense of the word, although we have tried everywhere to stay in our own line of business as much as possible. We have worked up a tremendous line of paint and wallpaper business at all our points, and it would be larger if we could get the mechanics. We are prefabricating many farm items in our rural yards, because the farmer hasn't the time or help to build these things himself. The customer is patient and tolerant, and you can sell anything you can get hold of. I DON'T SEE WHY EVERY

DEALER SFIOULD NOT HAVE ALL THE BUSINI]SS rItr CAN HANDLE WITH HIS PERSONNE,L."

That last line is a good enough text for any merchandising sermon. And the clealer who has survived the last year doesn't have to be preached to, because he has learned rvhat can be done.

Most of the iterns and articlcs that the dealers generally rvere able to sell through the past tr,r'elve months, he cau still get. Some of them are scarcer than others; some more plentiful.

I-ooking back to my editorial a year ago today, I suggested that the dealer could get ancl sell : Doors, rvindorvs, sash, glass, screen doors, mirror doors, a general line of paints, wallpaper, cement, lime, nails ar.rd other available metals, r,vire products, building papers, glues and adhesives, soil removers for cleaning woodwork, screen door grilles, .ventilator louvres, valleys and flashings and rain protections, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, floor refinishers, hardwood flooring, mouldings, wood preservatives, termite treatments, wood crack fillers, disappearing stairways, built-ins such as ironing-boards, medicine cabinets, telephone cabinets, kitchen cabinets, corner cabinets, venetian blinds, plywood, fiber boards and insulation, asphalt products of many sorts, asbestos products of many kinds for both interior and exterior use, farm implements, pre-fabricated items for the farmer and the Victory gardener, ladders, farm containers, garden implements, etc.

All these things are to be'had today. I know dealers rvho have gone much farther into the handling of electrical and plumbing supplies than ever before. I knor,v dealers who have even developed a nice business in kitchen stoves and ranges. Some yards have become racket stores, selling a line of small goods that tvould fiIl this page enumerating.

But the merchandise the lumber merchant has made a killing with this past year has been asphalt, asbestos, gypsum, and insulating lines. The manufacturers, quick to see and alert to seize upon the low-lumber supply, have turned their ingenuity to the production of items that substitute for innumerable common Lrses of lumber. And the dealer has taken splendid advantage of these sales opportunities. Give a dealer a few pieces of dimension and he can build almost anything the regulations permit. If some genius would just discover a good substitute for 2x4's, this thing would be a cinch.

So, Mr. Dealer, sit down and do a little planning for the opening months of the new year. Apply that intelligence that has so far served you so well in meeting this continuing emerg'ency, and you will be still around, and still grinning, r,r'henever things DO change.

But, for the moment, you must plan to get along with less and less lumber. You must sultstitute-or else.

Prlce Regulation Governing Distribution

NLMA Annual Meetins Yard Sales of Hardwood Lumbcr Revised

Washington, D. C., December z0--A revision of OPA's price regulation governinig distribution yard sales of hardwood lumber was announced by the Office of Price Administration today.

The revision becomes effective December 26, 1944, and makes the following changes, which will affect the selling price of hardwood lumber at the distribution yard level:

1. A revision is made in the basing points and designated mill ceilings to be used by yards in 72 states-both wholesale and retail-in calculating their maximum selling prices on some hardwoods.

2. For all yards a higher price is provided for lower grade hardwood when sold in quantities of 5,00O board feet or less.

In addition to these pricing revisions, the following other changes are made:

1. Specific ceiling prices for walnut lumber are established for all distribution yards. Previously, walnut was priced separately for individual yards upon application by the yard to OPA for prices.

2. Sales of lumber to consumers under the provisions of War Production Board Order L-335 is permitted at yard prices even though the lumber is not a part of yard stock at the time the sale is made.

3. The method of computing the weights used in calculating inbound freight on shipments of lumber less than one-inch thick is clarified.

(Revised MPR No. 467-Distribution Yard Sales of Hardwood Lumber-Effective December 26, 1944.)

The Monkey's Standpoint

Three monkeys sat in a cocoanut tree, Discussing things as they're said to be. Said one to the others, "Now listen, you two, There's a certain rutnor that can't be true, That man descends from our noble race, The very idea is a disgrace.

No monkey ever deserted his wife, Starved his babies and ruined her life. And you've never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk. Or pass them on from one to another, 'Til they scarcely know who's their mother.

And another thing you'll never see-

A monk build a fence 'round a cocoanut tree And let the cocoanuts go to waste, Forbidding all other monks a taste; Why, if I'd put a fence around the tree, Starvation would for.ce you to steal from me.

ffere's another thing a monk won't doGo out at night and get on a stew, Or use a gun or club or knife, To take some other monkey's life. Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss, But, brother, he didn't descend from us !',

The Source oI Good is Unlimited

A good man occupies in the world the position like that of a skilled surgeon in a modern hospital performing an operation.

Without a word he simply reaches out his hand and into it is placed the proper instrument by the trained assistant. When he has finished his work with that instrument, he holds it out and the assistant takes it away. This giving and taking away continues until the operation is finished.

What those trained assistants do to supply the surgeon, God does to those who are creative and who have real work to do. The supply of good for those who serve, is always available. Gandhi proves that. So do thousands of others. A Kettering, starting as a poor boy, has behind him all the resources of General Motors in his experimental work.

All of us who have started with nothing have reached out and had handed to us what we have needed for our work. If we had been bigger and better and wiser and done more important work, the tools and gadgets needed for that bigger work would also have been supplied us. The source of good is unlimited.-Thomas Dreier.

Red River Lumber Co. Sells \Testwood Holdings

In the December 15 issue we ran an announcement by The Red River l-umber Company, Westwood, Calif., that the Fruit Growers Supply Company, Los Angeles, had exercised their option on November 30 to purchase from them the town of 'Westwood and all plant operations and timberlands adjacent to Westwood, the ,re* 6*tte.s taking possession on December 15, 1944.

The following news release was received from W. B. Laughead, advertising manager of The Red River Lumber Company, Westwood, Calif., after the December 15 issue had gone to press:

The Red River Lumber Company was incorporated in 1884. Thomas Barlow Walker, the founder, who died in 1928 at the age of 88, had arrived in Minnesota at the close of the Civil War. As a Governm'ent surveyor, in what was then an un-mapped wilderness, he gained frrst hand knowledge of the pine forests. With the vision of a pioneer he recognized the future value of these forest resources, and with the profits from his surveying contracts began to acquire timber lands. By the early 1870's the firm of Camp and Walker were operating a mill in Minneapolis.

His first extensive logging was on the Clearwater River, a tributary of the Red River of the North. At one time he drove logs down the Red River to market at Winnipeg, Canada. A mill was built at East Grand Forks on the Red River and one at Crookston on the Clearwater. In 1898 the mill at Akeley rvas built which finished the l\finnesota cutting in 1915.

Pioneering again, Mr. Walker and his sons looked West for timber resources years ahead of the exodus of the pine industry from the Lake States. In the 1890's they began acquiring their holdings in Northeastern California.

In 1913 construction was started in the plant and town at Westwood, California. The site was 45 miles from the nearest railroad. the Western Pacific in Feather River Canyon. Equipment and supplies were hauled in by freight teams over the rough mountain roads. By the spring of 1914 the Southern Pacific line from Fernley, Nevada, was completecl to Westwood. The first unit of the mill was then in operation and construction of the town was well under way.

The torvn was built complete with houses, commercial buildings, hospital, schools, theater, sewers, water supply, telephone and electric service. , When the operation gained full stride the town had a population of over 6000. For a time the company operated all the commercial enterprises of the town, later these were turn€d over to lessees.

The Westwood operation with a cut of M to 240 million feet a year is self-contained and self-supporting. Extensive machine shops maintain the logging and mill equipment, and many units for the r,r'oods and plant were designed and built in these shops. Railroads and railroad shops were operated by the company, and 20 miles of the main line were electrified. Hydro-electric power was de-

veloped at Westwood, and a company-owned transmission line of 6O miles brought power from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company on Pit River.

Remanufacture of product has been an outstanditrg feature from the inauguration of the plant. Factories for the manufacture of plywood, box shook and venetian blind slats are operated. At one time there was an extensive production of sash and doors.

Logging. capacity of 1,500,00O feet per day was utilized id the logging season to build up log storage for mill operation 12 months of the year. Dry kilns have a capacity for 700,000 feet daily. Mill and factories have run two and three shifts the greater part of the time. Employment runs from 2500 to 3000.

The pioneering tradition has always been strong. Tractor logging, now practically universal, owes much of its development to experimental operations at Westwood. Early types of tractors were rebuilt in the company's shops to adapt them to the rough terrain of the mountains and heavy pay-loads. The logging arch and tractor rvinch had similar development in Westwood's shops and logging operations, with the cooperation of engineers of the equipment manufacturers.

The first diesel-electric locomotive in the West was placed in operation by Red River in 1927.

The sale by The Red River Lumber Company to the Fruit Growers Supply Company is covered by trvo options. The first, exercised November 30, covers the Westwood plant, logging operations and the town buildings and utilities. A tract ol 1O,273 acres of timber on Light's Creek in Plumas County is included. The consideration is $3,000,000.

The second option, which will be due in 1945, covers 83,000 acres of pine timber in the Burney Tract, Shasta County, for $8,300,000.

The timber tracts transferred under both options constitute about one-fourth of Red River's standing timber. The Red River Lumber Company retains ownership of the Susanville mill, the hydro-electric plant at Westwood and the Pit River transmission line. There are also extensive cutover areas in which only the pine has been cut that carry a stand of fir and other species. Mrrch of the pine land has been cut under selective logging.

Completes Successful Season

Owing to the continued storms, the earliest and heaviest snow in thirty years, the Placerville Lumber Company, Placerville, Calif., was forced to shut down its logging and sawmill operations last rveek, having completed one of the most successful seasons of all times, cutting 54,156,153 feet of lumber for our armed forces, ac,cording to Manager Harry West.

The Fresh Pond mill cut 35,767,606 feet, the Tahoe Valley mill 9,738,560 feet and the Sly Park mill 8,649,987 feet. A crew of men is falling government timber nearby, and, after minor repairs to the sawmills, sawing will start at Fresh Pond as soon as weather permits. A large inventory of lumber is piled in the yards so that shipments can continue during the winter months from Placerville where both the planing mill and moulding plant are running two shifts six days a week. To speed up operation here a new sorting or grading chain, 160-feet long with take-off for either trucks or carriers has been built, having electric flood lights so it can be used night and day.

Mr. West says that the men of the company feel that this year's record cut should be dedicated to the men who have lost their lives in the armed services.

Uniform Maximum Prices for Jobbers Sales of Stock Millwork Established

Washington, D. C., December 1S-Establishment of uniform maximum prices for jobbers sales of stock millwork in California was announced today by the Office of Pricc Administration.

The nern' ceilings, rvhich become effective Decen,ber 20, 1944, represent an average over-all increase of 2l per cent over present prices. A detail study of jobber prices by OPA disclosed such a price increase was necessary because of rises in acquisition costs.

The higher prices may be passed on to consumers by retailers.

Stock rnilln.ork includes such items used in building construction as sash, windows, cloors, window screens, window and door frames, blinds and shutters, and interior cabinet work.

"DURO" BnoNze qRDDucrsce

WE ARE PROUD

oI the honor bestowed on the men and women ol our orgqnization when they received recently the Army-Ncvy Production Awcrrd lor high cchievement in the production of wqr mcterial.

And we apprecicrte the expressed desire of each employee to continue his work until his iob is completed.

For purposes of pricir-rg, California is divided into two areas, the Northern and Southern. The Northern area consists of all of California north of the southern boundaries of Inyo, Tulare, Kings and N{onterey counties. The Southern area is the part of California south of the Northern area.

For the Southern area, the price increases are effected by mark-ups which may be applied to prices in Revised Maximum Price Regulation 293-Stock Millwork, and Revised Price Schedule 44-Douglas Fir Dbors. Increases are provided for the bulk of millwork items. Some are slightly higher than 2l per cent, and some slightly lower, but the increases averag'e 2l per cent over-all

In the Northern area, an increase of 5.6 per .cent is made in ceiling prices for rvindows and sash, and window screens only. The increase is effected through an adjustment of jobbers, discounts applied to list prices in stock millwork sales.

The increase is bulked into higher prices for windows and sash, and window screens because these are the items on which jobbers have felt a price squeeze due to rising acquisition costs. On other millwork iterns in the Northern California area, ceiling prices at the jobber level remain unchanged.

(Amendment No. 4 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 525-Jobber Sales of Stock Millwork-efiective December 20, 1944\.

Interpretation 12 to Order L-41

Washington, D. C., De,cember 2-Interpretation 12 to Conservation Order L-41 (Construction) has been issued to clarify provisions of the order that deal with the annual cost limits under which ,construction may be performed without War Production Board permission, WPB reported today.

The interpretation points out that the exemption applies gnly to jobs having a total cost within the annual allowance granted for the various types of construction permitted under the order.

A single'job having a total cost greater than the appropriate annual allowan,ce may not be done partly in one year and partly in another year, or partly by one owner and partly by a new owner.

The interpretation points out that the annual allowance applies to all jobs done on the same building or unit in the same calendar year and a new allowance may not be computed if the building changes ownership or a difierent contractor is employed.
