Some Canny (?) Predictions For New Year

There will be a whole lot of kicking about the weather, but very little, if anything, will be done about it.

Men who never had a bank account will bitterly criticize bankers and interest rates.

Men will die who never died before-some of them will be carrying life insurance.

Meh will argue about politics and religion-but Nor intelligent men.

Lots of folks who welcomed the New Year with enthusiasm, will '"cuss" it urith aviditv before it closes, blaming the year for their own laziness or inability.

We will hear a whole lot about "service"; in fact, we'll hear a lot more of it than we will see.

Men who cannot make a living will continue to vocally settle all matters of human importance.

There will ,be a decided increase in the number of morons and jackasses driving automobiles on the public highways.

Useful men will continue to prosper and say nothing about it, and useless men will continue to fail and raise H--ll about it, just as in other years, past and future.

The Douglas Fir market continues to shou' a wide variation in prices. The manufactures that renegotiated their prices, and lrhich they say they rvill use rvhen they start to book nerv business after the first of the;rear, shou' only moderate advances over the ceiling prices. Some other producers are taking on business at the premium prices offered.

The range in Fir prices betu'eetr lorr and high rttns about as follon's: Dimension, $20; boards, $20; No. 4 boards and dimeusion,. $13; green clears, $40 to $50; dry bundlecl uppers, $50. The variation betrveen lou' and high on timbers and plank is about $10. Prices are higher for spot loading.

Red cedar shingle mill prices last s'eek \\:ere: No. 1, $13; No. 2, $10.50; No. 3 and No. 4, $5.

Prices are higher norr, than they t'ere the first ferv rveeks follol'ing the lifting of OPA cei{ings on November 9. No s'eakness in the market has been reported, and there are no signs of prices leveling off.

There is a terrific demand for lumber. Manl' contractors that have buildings partially completed and are in need of some lttmber items l'ant to get the jobs completed, therr there are many retail dealers u'ho n'ant to get a few carloads of lumber in stock so thel- rvill have something to offer their customers. And there is a large volume of lumber l>eing bought for off-shore shipment.

Expanding production in Douglas fir sar,vmills of Washington and Oregon has boosted the 1946 lurnber output to date nearly 100,000,000 board feet over that for an equal period in 1945, H. V. Simpson, executir-e vice president of the \\rest Coast's Lumbermen's Associatiott, announced.

He disclosed that up to December 1 a total of 5,543,868,000 board feet of lumber had been produced, as against 5,446,589,000 during a similar period in 1945.

"This is the first time during 1946 that cumulative production has surpassed that of. 1945," 1\Ir. Simpson said. "This is encouraging to the building industry generally and leads logically to the expectation that 1947 production irill be even greater.

"Logs are in good supply, and existing salr-mills will be able to continue peak production during the winter. In addition, there has been a substantial increase in the number of nerv mills working in mature stands of timber in Southern Oregon.

"These nes' rnills make it increasinglv apparent that the \Mest Coast lumber industry can prodnce not only for housing but for commercial building. At present the industry's contribution to commercial building is impeded onlv by the restrictive CPA controls s.hich remain as a 'hang-orer' from the period of bureancratic interference u'ith normai business operations."

0nly The Squeal 0f The Saws and The Tilhine of The Knives Are Wasted

Long years ago a great packing house in Chicago announced to the rvorld that it had learned to utilize into something valuable every part of a hog except the squeal.

Ever since that, optimists in the lumber industry have visualized some futttre sarr'mill operation that could say the same thing about the product of the 1og. That day has arrived, and this is the story.

Remember the old, old tale about the rooster that rolled a big ostrich egg into the barnyard,, and said to the assernbled hens : "Girls, I did not come here to criticize, and I don't want to complain ; I just lvant to Shor.v you lvhat CAN BE DONE."

The following story is an object lesson and a sermon to the entire lumber manufactttring industry of the United States. For here, for the first time, is a sawmilla tremendously big sarvmill-that can truthfully say and proudly demonstrate that it translates everything that comes from the log into something of value, excepting only THE SQUEAL OF THE SAWS AND THtr WHINE OF THE PL.\NER KNIVES.

And the best demonstration of what this mill has accomplished lies in the fact that the tremendous refuse burner that was made an important unit of the mill operation some 77 years ago 'rvhen the mill was built, died long years ago from starvation, and u'as shut down to run no more. Where there is no refuse, there is no need for a refuse burner. Where there is no waste, there is nothing for a waste eliminator to eliminate. So this burner, 135 feet high and 50 feet in diameter and which cost a young fortune, just stands there, a silent reminder of rvhat great

This Huge Reluse Burner at Klamath Falls

Died ol Starvation

adrrancement has been tlade iu the scier.rce of lumlter tnan11facture in 17 years.

For this mighty sas-mill cuts fift1- thousand feet of Ponderosa Pine boards every hottr, yet leaves no refuse and no rvaste behind. No sat'dust, no shavings, no slabs, no trimmings, no bark-no nothing.

The mill is that of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, at Klamath Falls, Oregon. It rvas built in 1929, designecl and equipped especially for the manufacture of Ponderosa, and its rated production of '+00,000 feet of boards every eight-hour shift makes it one of the biggest mills ever built. To cut that much in a timber mill is quite a trick; to do it in a board mill is a miracle.

When the mill n'as built it rvould have been follr- uot to arrange for the disposition of a huge volume of refuse and rvaste materials, sttch as has als'ays been developed rvhen round logs rvere conr-erted into square-edged lutnber. So the big refuse burner li'as immediatell' an important unit. For years the fire inside the bttrner never u'ent out.

Then, step by step, thev began to scientifically utilize the sat'dttst, shavings, slabs, trimurings, edgings, etc., that had been going to the buruer. The nerr' units that finally accomplished their purpose o{ utilizing all rvaste \\'ere: a box factory, a lath mill, a "Pres-to-log" plant, and a giant hog. The net result is that today one of their big problems is finding enough refuse and rvaste left over after the rescue squads get through grabbing rvood, to fuel the great po\1'er plant that operates the mill.

The slabs, edgings, trimmings, etc., from the salvmill are clropped into a great conveyor just as they are in other

tnills. This conveyor moves slowly enough so that every piece of rvood it contains can be examined, and every piece u'ith good lumber inside the bark, is pulled out and rescued. It takes a goodly crew of men to accomplish this rescue rvork. This stuff is fed through stripper ripping machines, and the good lvood cut out, leaving the bark to go back to the conveyor and thus to the hog rn'here it becomes fuel for the porver plant. But this is precious u'ood that is taken c.rlt. From it is made lath, pickets, rvindou' shade rollers, and variotrs other valuable items.

The lath mill is some unit, itself, employing 50 men. Thev make about 8,000,000 lath annually, and has utilized as high as 4,283,000 board leet of lumber in a single vear in this department alone.

The box factorv is a big babl', 2@ by 250 feet in size, a-nd tu'o stofies high, and in this place thev use practicallr. anything of any size in the shape of usable n'ood. They trsed lnrnber as thin as 1/12 of an inch in thickness, and find useful spots for bits of n'ood the size of a man's thumb. Short, checkecl, split, broken lumber all finds its rvay here, and is made into sornething u'orth n'hile. And rvhat little is left goes to the hog for fuel for the porver plant.

The "Pres-to-log" plant is equipped u-ith four specialllbuilt machines that take dr1- shavings from the planing mill and box factorl'and compress them into patented, compact, eight-pound u-ooden logs that are sold for fire lvood. This unit makes 1.+,000 of these dry, compressed wooden logs everv day. and this departn-rent is considered a highly successful one.

Evervthing that is left from mill, planer, and box factorl-,

goes to a giant hog, where it is ground and chewed up into fuel for the 2,800 horsepor,r'er plant that runs the great sawmill institution. There is barely sufficient of this left now to keep the power plant going. There is nothing left to be bFrned or destroyed. So, years ago the big refuse burner closed down, and everything that comes from the Ponderosa Pine logs that go into that mill in such volume, is made into something valuable.

When the Klamath Falls mill started operations it rvas estimated that l5/o of the logs they cut went into refuse and waste. Today-nothing. Some record.

There is a further interesting angle to the story. From the great Weyerhaeuser timber holdings that stand back of this mill, they have laid out a 600,000 acre tree farm, from rvhich the timber is being harvested on a perpetual cropping basis under long-range forest management plans. They think they are growing fully as much timber as thel- are cutting. This great and modern plant may accomplish much in the future, but there is one thing it cannot-do; it cannot reduce its q'aste anr farther. "There just ain't none."

Log Supply Increcsing

The Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association, H. -|. Cox, secretary-manager, reported under date of November 25, that a birds-eye survey and telephone query of mills, irrespective of size, indicates a larger supply of logs than has existed for many years. Infortnation from reliable sources indicates a log inventorl- in the Willamette and Columbia River districts of over 300 million feet, log scale, according to the report.

American freedom and paralyze its prosperity, I would concentrate on three aims which ultimately will reduce any country to serfdom. First, I would foment strikes and create just as much industrial confusion as possible. Second, I would scatter biased propaganda, misrepresenting business men and destroying faith in business. I would try to prove Private Enterprise a failure. Third, I would boost all wasteful appropriation bills in Congress and teach people to expect something for nothing from Government; this to weaken the nation's financial structure. The$e three activities, carried on persistently and long enough, will wreck any Democracy; any Republic."

New Year opens on dramatic situations, over the world in general, and here in the United States in particular. We have just witnessed a spectacular duel between John L. Lewis and President Truman. Lewis lost his first battle of the kind. He had a one hundred per cent winning record against Roosevelt. What Truman did to John L. will loom larger as time passes. The general facts are well known. What is not so well known is the apparent truth that during the last week before Le#is pulled down his flag in unconditional surrender, he had been making frantic efforts to settle the strike. All he asked was to have the court action withdrawn. But, sensing that Lewis was in desperate straits, Truman stood firm and refused all cotnpromises. And Lewis quit. Well for him that he did! With cold and hunger and great desolation rapidly approaching the American people, his personal position would soon have become a most serious one.

And his economic situation was worse. Had the strike continued and the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decisions, the Lewis union and its thirteen million dollar war chest could have been wiped out at the rate of $250,000 a day. Lewis was in a jam that got tighter and more dangerous every day. And the man that beat him to his unwilling knees was the little man from Missouri. Biggest trouble I find with Truman is he makes me change my mind about him so often I had finished cussing him roundly for issuing passports abroad-over the protest of Secretary of State Byrnes-to a problem child named Elliott, when he throws this Lewis for a loss, to win my praise again. Wish he'd stay on one side of the fence for a while.

With the coal famin" ;;;"d for months, the next big thing is the coming Congress. With a nation completely overrun with dangerous and hurtful strikes, even the faintest-hearted realizes that something must be done about labor legislation. The air is filled with suggestions, threats, etc. What form needed legislation should take is the question more generally discussed than any other right now. Should it be punitive, or corrective?

Corrective, of couise. J""i*l legislation, even in times of stress like we have just gone through, should never be indulged.in. It's so very simple. Atl in the world we need to do is pass legislation that makes all citizens equal under the law again, just as they used to be before the New Deal habit of openly trading power.and authority for votes, became a governmental pastime. Then enforce all the laws. A few weeks ago our entire economic structure and na-

tional w'elfare were seriously endangered by the action of one man. Surely the first thing we should do is to so legislate that no man or rnen could ever place us in such jeop ardy again. ff we don't do that, we don't deserve freedom, and peaceful prosperity.

:f:f*

It seems unreasonable that Americans would object to the simple philosophy of making all citizens equal under the law and the Constitution. But when such legislation develops it wiU be attacked as savagely as though it sougiht to deprive men of their liberties, rather than seeking to return to all nren their Constitutional rights. Something must be done hbout the Wagner Act. That Act is in efieci a poisoned dirk driven into the vitals of this nation, creating a formidable barrier between employer and employee in a land that has long boasted of the eqrdily of its citizens. Under that Act the employee has been placed in a class in no wise amenable to the laws that govbrn the employer. A rank outsider can visit an industrial plant, argue his case with every employee, drive sound trucks up and down, make speeches to the workers wheneved and whereever he pleases. But if the owner of the plant speaks a word of advice into the ears of an employee, he has broken the law of the land. Is that fair? Is it American?

There is no mystery surroundin! the injustices of laboremployer relations as they now exist. There are strikes on every hand and on every hand more are prornised and threatened. The law provides for "peaceful picketing," yet winks at conditions at struck plants that stop not even at

riot and anarchy. Blood flows, weapons clash, clubs'swing' officers fight hand to hand with mobs, bombs are thrown, every sort of disorder develops, all under the legal title of "peaceful picketing."

Let us not pass laws aimed at John L. Lewis. But rather let us formulate laws that will deprive any man of such dangerous powers. Let us not aim laws at Petrillo. But rather let us pass legislation that will remove all unrighteous and unconstitutional authority from any Petrillo. Let us legislate ourselves back to the good old American way of life, with equal chance and opportunity and justice for every man regardless of his affiliation. I received a wire the other day from W. H. Upson asking permission to use our New Year editorial of one year ago, saying that he thought it most timely right now. And here is what that editorialsaid: * * {<

"Let's turn back. Back to those good and safe and sane days when the survival of the fittest was the test of real men and women. Back to those days when the best man got the best pay. Back to those times when the man who could PRODUCE was given proper rank over those who could not. Back to those days when he who served best prospered most. Back to the days before ambition to POSSESS had outstripped the willingness to earn. Back to those days when EFFICIENCY was the rule by which every man was judged and paid. Back to the days when a man's home was HIS home, a man's dollar was HIS dollar, a man's business was HIS business to do with as he saw fit. Back to those days when every man outside of prison respected this 'government, and officials-safe behind public opinion-enforced that respect.

{<*t

"Back to those days when no man or aggregation of men, representing anyone or anything, DARED say to our govslnrnsnf-'lou MUST DO OUR WILL OR ELSE.'

Back to those days, please God, that every decent citizen of this land is waiting for, when the rights of ALL the people will again become the single law of the. land, and when men with hearts of oak will again hold honored office, possessed of the bowels to say to those who approach with DEMANDS-'Show us first that what you desire is for the honor and glory of ALL the people, or GET OUT AND DON'T COME BACK !' THAT was once the test. THAT must become the test again if this nation is to stand. Clap the heavy hand of the law UPON THE SHOULDER OF EVERY MAN WHO THREATENS THE PUBLIC WELFARE, regardless of whether he represents man or devil, and the law will regain its RESPECT' and the land its HERITAGE. That is our New Year's wish. Let's turn back !"

There is a saying going the rounds that nothing is wrorig with this country that going back to work won't cure. True as gospel, that remark ! But what signs do you see, dear brother, that we're going back?

Jimmy Walker, New York's colorful ex-Mayor, died the other day. The newspapers and columnists carried reams concerning his life, and particularly his famous wisecrabks and uttered philosophies.

San Francisco Hardwood Firm Celebrates Diamond Jubilee

This Widely-Known Pioneer Concern \Mas Founded In 1872

formerly been the terminal station of the steam "dummy" line that ran on Market Street from the Ferry to the junction of Vaiencia Street.

The business grew and prospered. Connections were made with suppliers in Central America, Mexico, Australia, Siam, Liverpool and London, and the firm grew to be the largest hardwood house on the Pacific Coast. The second site when the business demanded more space was on Main Street, and the third location was at Spear and Howard Streets, where the business was moved in 1887. The fourth location, the present one at Fifth and Brannan Streets, was acquired in 1909. The business has outgrown this site and a fifth move will be made within the next year or so to a site that will be large enough to take care of the required expansion.

In 1928 a three-acre site was acquired at 500 High Street, Oakland, and an East Bay yard was established there.

In 1852, when the waters o{ San'Francisco Bay came up to Montgomery Street, Peter White came to California from his home on the Atlantic Coast. His brother, Asa L. White, came to California in 1868, and in 1872 the two brothers became associated in the business of selling wagon materials and hardwood lumber under the name of White Brothers. This business, which has been called "Hardwood Headquarters" for many years, has been operated continuously ever since, and is this year celebrating the 75th anniversary of its founding, and is actively engaged in a program of expansion.

The first location of White Brothers was in the 200 block on Market Street, next to the gore where California Street and Market Street intersect. The yard had frontage on both streets. The building which they occupied had

Yards Completely Mechanized

Since the end of the war both yards have been completely mechanized and modernized, with each yard using Ross and Hyster lift trucks and carriers.

The Oakland yard is said to be one of the most efficient and up-to-date hardwood yards in the country. Improvements there include the removal of the old gangways, and the installation of a modern Moore reversible fan dry kiln, which is now under construction. Shed space comprises one acre, all paved with concrete, and two paved acres are available for storage of air-dried lumber. With lift truck and carrier operation the Oakland yard has a storage capacity of 15,000,000 feet.

The spur track is well located. Four cars can be un-

loaded under the shed and five cars in the open simultaneously.

White Brothers recently became distributors of the Wilson Easy Lift all aluminum garage doors.

Don F. White and Charles B. White, sons of C. H. White, saw service for sel'eral years as Lieutenants, Senior Grade, in the Navy during the war, and both are again dctive in the business.

W. T. White, son of Asa L .White, is president of White Brothers. C. H. White, nephew of the founders, is vice president and general manager. Don F. White is a director of the firm, and he and W. T. (Bill) Meyer are directors of procurement and merchandising.

C. B. "Bruz" White is manager of the Oakland yard. Keith Mclellan is manager of the ofrces of both yards.

Kisses

Come, Chloe, and give me sweet kisses, For sweeter sure never girl gave, But why, in the midst of my blisses, Do you ask me how many I'd have?

Go, number the stars in the heaven, Count how many sands on the shore, When so many kisses you've given, I still shall be craving for more.

-Chas. Hanbury Williams.

\ilfe're All Debtors

No man can fully discharge his debt to society and to Providence, and the only real haopiness we can get out of life comes through our efforts to pay that debt. We owe for the liberties we enjoy, for the protection that surrounds us, for bodily comforts, for everything that is good in our daily lives. Countless thousands, unknown to us, minister to our needs, our comforts and our joys. We must do our best to pay this great debt.

Burdett On Chcrrity

Selfishness speaks first:

"I kept all my wealth and I mourn for my loss, For gold in a skeleton hand turns to dross; Love, friendship and gratitude might I have bought, But I kept all my wealth 'til it moulded to naught."

Then Pleasure speaks:

"I spent all my gold, i danced and I sang, The palace I built with hilarity rang; Plays, revels, and frolics, from even' to dawn, But I lie here with nothing; I spent it, it's gone."

Avarice speaks:

"f loaned my good money, at grasping per cent; 'Twas I who got all that you kept and you spent; While I counted my millions, death plundered me bare; And this grave I sleep in belongs to my heir."

Then Charity speaks:

"It was little I had, but I gave all my store To those who had less or needed it more; And it came with death laughing, for here at the grave fn riches unmeasured, I found what I gave."

-By Robert J. Burdett.

More qnd More

"What do you think I shot the Country Club course in this afternoon?"

"Considerably more."

"Considerably more than what?"

"Considerably more than the lie you were just fixing to tell."

A Smile

Nothing on earth can smile, but man.

Gems may flash reflected light, but wha flash compared with an eye flash, and mjr{h flash?

Flowers cannot smile. This id a cannot claim. It is the prercgafrul/of man. It is the color which love wears, and cheerfu$/Ks, and joy-these three.

It is the light in the windoYvs of the face by which the heart signals that it is at home and waiting.

A face that cannot smile is like a bud that cannot blossom, and dries up on the stalk.

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both-more bewitching than either.

Domestic Science

Give me a spoon of oleo, Ma, And the sodium alkali, For I am going to make a pie, Mama, I'm going to make a pie. For Dad will be hungry and tired, Ma, And his tissues will decompose, So give me a grain of phosphate, And the carbon and cellulose. Now give me a hunk of casein, Ma, To shorten the termic fat. And give me the oxygen bottle, Ma, And look at the thermostat. And if the electric oven is cold, Just turn it on half an ohm, For f want to have supper ready, Ma, As soon as my Dad comes home.

Boredom

A distinguished Briton is quoted as saying:

"After all, the greatest of human miseries, the most deadly of diseases, is one we cannot touch with a knife, or save men from by drugs. I mean BOREDOM. There is more real wretchedness, more torment, driving.men to folly, due to boredom, than to anything else. Man and women will do almost anything, fling themselves into lost hopes and' crazy ventures, anything to escape. They will drink, drug themselves, prostitute their bodies, and sell their souls; they will take up mad causes, organize absurd crusades; they will tornnent themselves and torture other people to escape the misery of being bored. Any one who can discover a cure for that would put an end to more misery and tragedy than all iloctors put together."

Announces Ne* Housing Permit System

Washington, Dec. 23.-Housing Expediter Frank R. Creedon announced details today of the nerv housing permit system to go into efiect toniorrow under the President's relaxed housing program.

Mr. Creedon said these conditions rvill apply to all nerv housing:

1. Livable floor space cannot exceed 1,500 square feet.

2, Only the number of fixtures normally needed to equip one bathroom can be used.

3. The drvelling must be intended for year-round occupancy.

4. Builders of dwellings for sale are required to hold them 60 days for veterans; rental properties must be held 3O days for veterans.

5. The rent to be charged for new dwellings for apartments may not average more than $80 per month for any project. Serr.ice charges may not exceed $3 per month.

The new system'does away entirely with the previous $10,000 ceiling en new homes. It also permits nonveterans to build for their own occupancy.

The housing permits will be issued through state and district ofifices of the Federal Housing Administrator starting tomorrow. Priorities previously issued must be honored by dealers even though used after Dec. 24. No new priorities rvill be issued after that date.

The permit order provides that a veteran who u'ishes to make alterations or repairs costing up to $10,000 on a home, is eligible for a permit. The $,100 limit on alterations and repairs for which no permit is necessary, will be continued.

Construction costs not exceeding $1,500 per additional person sheltered are authorized for added rooms to house the veterans or members of the applicant's family.

Under the previous housing program the average home built ranged from 600 to 1,100 square feet.

There is nothing in the regulation to keep builders from "roughing in" unfinished bathrooms to be equipped later.

A $3 per room per month service charge on rental units is a maximum. The exact charge, which is to cover

such costs as heat, water, light and janitorial service, is to be set on each project separately.

Mr. Creedon also stated that allocation of fir'e rarv materials to producers of building materials probably 'n'ould continue through the first quarter of 1947. These are steel, pig iron, phenolic resins, paper liner and shop grade lumber.

lvlexico Ships Out 600 Cars Ot Lumber Monthly

About six hundred carloads of Mexican produced lumber has been shipped out of Mexico monthly for the past three or four years. So estimates Mr. Palmer Coward, of Laredb, Texas, who represents the United-Export-fmport Company, of Mexico City. Mr. Coward bears the reputation of being tlre best posted man on the subject of Mexican timber, and his concern represents most of the better known lumber manufacturers of that entire country.

Mr. Coward says that during the war the production of lumber in Mexico increased tremendously under the great demand for lumber in the United States, and that until the war ended practically the entire six hundred cars monthly were shipped into the United States. Texas got an average of. 30/o of this lumber, and the bulk went to the Northern and Eastern markets, and was largely used by prefabrication industries. Only a small percentage of this lumber went across the Mexican border to New Mexico, Arizona,,br California.

Since the war ended there has been some diversion of Mexican lumber from. the United States, and that at the presenf iime about N/o of. their shipments are going to South Africa, Puerto Riio, and China. Bat 8O/o still comes into the United States. Mr. Coward says that this is all Mexican Pine, that it bears a close resemblance to Ponderosa Pine, and he thinks the demand for this material will continue in the United States after the emergency is over. This Pine production comes from small and modest sized mills scattered all over the Republic of Mexico, and their biggest problem is logging, most of the timber standing in rough, hilly, or mountainous country.

He says that responding to the call of the times many of the beiter milling concerns in Mexico are now engaged in modernizing their mills in order to make better lumber

for the postwar trade. Dry kilns, double end trimmers, trademarking machines, paraffin end applyers, modern planing machines, etc., are going in at many mills, and better lumber is becoming the order of the day. There is a huge volume of commercial timber standing in Mexico, and Mr. Coward says that under the leadership of the new President of Mexico, who is essentially a business man, Mexican business and industry is going to flourish in the next decade as it never has before, and that the lumber industry should lead the parade.

Elected Director of National Association of Manufacturers

E. W. Daniels, president of Harbor Plywood Corp. of Hoquiam, W4sh., and chairman of the management committee of Douglas Fir Plywood Association, has been elected a director from Washington state of the National Association of Manufacturers.

He has been so honored, according to an announcement from NAM headquarfers at New York, because of his "qualities of leadership and reputation .as an outstanding industrialist."

Mr. Daniels long has been a dynamic force in the plywood industry program q'hich has established its product as a preferred building material. Simultaneously, his progressive firm has introduced many new plywood products and manufacturing processes that have contributed materially to the rearing of the panel material to its present position of prominence.

During the past two years, an "American Way" idea developed by a committee headed by the plywood maker has drawn national acclaim. The committee, through industrvsponsored advertisements, told effectively the meaning of free enterprise and the opportunities afforded individuals and small businesses in the Grays Harbor area of Washington.

Active in civic affairs through the past 2t years that he has been an official of Harbor Plywood Corp., Mr. Daniels' participation in such matters is typified by his recent chairmanship of the Grays Harbor Committee for returning veterans.

Exclusive Los Angeles Stock of Formica

Announcement is made by California Panel & Veneer Co., Los Angeles, that they have the exclusive Los Angeles stock of Formica, for rvhich they are Southern California sales agents.

The Formica Insulation Co. pioneered the use of plastic sheet for architectural purposes in 1927, and most of the methods of installation and erection norv in use were rvorked out b1' Formica engineers.

In speaking of this fine material recently, W.F. (Bill) Fahs, manager of California Panel & Veneer Co., said: "There is a depth and clarity to Formica plastic surfaces that is unique, and that makes it a most attractive finishing material. There is a rvide range of colors and patterns and genuine n'ood grains making it adaptable to any decorative scheme. Painting and refinishing is never necessary, and this results in a substantial saving in labor cost.

"The most rvidely nsed form of tlie material is a veneer sheet l/16 of an inch thick which is veneered to plyrvood rvith casein, or resin glue. It is used for doors, table and counter tops, column covering and flat surfaces of all kinds. It is also available as wall board 5/32 of an inch thick. Real'ivood Formica, in rvhich a veneer of actual wood is incorporated just under the remarkably clear plastic snrface of this Formica sheet, provides a plastic rnaterial rvith a genuine rvood grain, rvith a clarity and perfection of finish never before given to *'ood."

Christmas Party Great Success

San Francisco Lumbermen's Club members got a lot of satisfaction from their Christmas Party, held at noon, December 17, at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, when they played host to 71 children from 6 to 10 yeari, frour a San Francisco orphanage. The attendance including the vourlg guests rvas 151.

The children (and the grorvnups too) got a big kick out of Jo- Jo the Clorvn and his party, including the puppets. And the same can be said for the entertainment provided by Dave Loveson rvith his House of Magic.

Frank O'Connor impersonated Santa Clatts, and he had a present for each little boy and girl.

President Herb Schaur presided at the party.
