Many Fir mills closed on Decembet 23 and 24 f.or the holidays, and will be down until the morning of January 5, but a number resumed operations on December 29.
Some Pine and Redwood mills shut down the day before Christmas until the following Monday, others will remain down until January 5.
The mills that started operating on December 29 will close New Year's daY.
In some sections where the car shortage has been relieved the operators want to keep shipments rolling and shipping crews were on the job except for Christmas and New Year's day.
Lumber production in the.Douglas fir region of Western Oregon and Washington is estimated at about 7,500,000,000 board feet, an increase of about 200,000,000 over that for 1946. This is the highest production of any peacetime year since 1930. A rough estimate places about 62 per cent of the production in Oregon, about 38 per cent in Washington.
These figures do not include fir production in Josephine and Jackson Counties of Southern Oregon, an area which produced about 500;00O,000 board feet of fir each year'
Number of sawmills in the region has increased from 383 in 1932 to 612 in 1939 to t445 in 1946. Although figures are not available for 1947, it is probable that the total exceeds that f.or L946 by more than 100'

and Washington's Douglas fir lumber production' This amounted in 1926 to $215,300,000; in 1933 to $61,900,000; in 1943 to $310,600,0@; in 1947 to an estimated $500,000,000.
The industry is prepared to cope with a substantiall-v expanded building program in 1948. Barring unforeseen circumstances, 1948 production will top that of 1947 '
There will be sufficient lumber for the housing needs of the country as well as for its industrial requirements. Effective distribution hinges directly upon the cooperation of the railroads. An adequate supply of freight cars must be made available in the Douglas fir area during periods of peak produition, or lumber users will suffer as the result of competitive bidding.
A point as important as the supply is the fact that the Pacific Northwest is not being stripped of timber to meet the housing emergen'cy. Lumbermen of the regiori are planning ahead for a full 100-year cycle of production' In the Douglas fir region there are now more than 2,500,000 acres of Tree Farms-a guarantee of lumber for the future -and this acreage is constantly being increased.

"\\re disaffiliate," tersely wrote John L. Lervis to Wm. Green. Not a bad Christmas present for the head of AFL, l.as it? You could hardly think of a better person to be disaffiliated from that Jo}",*"oy could you?
"\\re went in green and they beat our brains out." So said screen star Bogart in a public statement concerning the part he and his wife, Lauren Bacall, played in their now famous "March on Washington." ft was part of a coLrrag'eous statement, in rvhich they simply said that thel' had made a great mistake, that they did not knorv vhat they were doing or talking abottt, and that they rvere sorry. Since they are among our rnoct favorite screen personalities we lvere glad to retract the promise rve had made ourselves not to see any more of their pictures. Too bad they did not give the name of the Red who organized that movie march on Washington. He lvould be a good guY to watch' ,r )F x
The right-about-face done by so many public personalities concerning that Communist investigation of the movie folks by the Committee on Un-American Activities was one of the high lights of the year. While the hearings rvere in progress the Committee u,as shorvered r,vith abuse. Egged on by the undercover Commies, criticisrn of the Committee and its method reached a screamingly high pitch. Even l'ric Johnson,, former President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and nolv the movie Czar, was one of the very critical r,vitnesses. He rvasn't rough, you understand, just very, very smart-alecky, as he gave the Committee the back of his n"ld i ferv times across the kisser.
After cracking dorvn on ten high salaried movie men, and still deluged with abuse, the Committee adjourned the hearing in Washington. And suddenly, lorv and behold, there rvas a mighty change. Eric Johnson did a complete right-about-face, and proclaimed so loudly. He was not as straightfolivard as Bogart in admitting his former folly, but he switched around in a hurry. So did scores of others. Like millions, rve rvonder rvhat brought the sudden change. In Hollyn'ood it lvas the same way. Srr<ldenly criticism of the Committee *O"T-. very, very docile.
We think George Dixon, Washington columnist, explained what happened in very understandable fashion. He told this story. lfe rvas sitting in a Washington cafe one night, and near by rvas J. Edgar Hoover. splendid leader of FBL In came a writer of national note. He had come to Washington to give the Cornmittee hell, and defend his Hollywood friends who rvere being persecuted and deprived of their rights. He sarv lfoover, kneu' hirn personally, and went over to talk to him. Dixon says he rvatched the dialogue. The writer asked lfoover something. Then Hoover started to talk. As Hoover talked
the writer, a huge bulk of a man, began to shrink visibly. When Hoover stopped the fellou' looked like he'd been hit by a threshing machine. *He*left.
As he rvent by Dixon's table, he stopped to tell what had happened. Sure of his ground he said he had named several of his Hollywood friends and asked Hoover if they rvere not all right. And when the FBI chief told him that he had dossiers (investigative records) a yard long on a lot of those birds, it nearly rvrecked the writer. "I have made a great mistake," he told Dixon, as he went otrt:N< *< :t
F-rorn that rve deduced what had happened to all the smarties r,vho had been thror,ving bilge-rvater at the Committee. They also had heard and read that the FBI knew all about scores of those Hollyrvood subversives, and that the Committee, far from guessing, knerv lvhat they were talking about rvhen they called the first bunch of movie birds to tell their story. They were looking right smack at the record. It rvas really fun to u,atch the big-mouths go small-mouth at such sigh speed. The Hollywood investigation hasn't even started good yet. Many of the worst, so they say, have not yet faced the Committee. And are they squirming?*

Have you considered the real meaning of asking a man if he is a Communist? Several times J. Edgar Hoover has declared publicly that our American Commies seek to destroy orlr American form of Government. Then, when a man is askecl lvhether or not he is a Communist, he is simply being asked-'rps you want to help destroy the Government of the United States ?" That's all. Wouldn't vou think any loyal American would be proud on any and all occasions to rise to his feet and an5qrsl-r'flell NO, I'm NOT a Communist?" And rvl-rat is there to think about the gu1' 'n'ho is asked the question and does not :rtrswer? * * :r<
The Bill of Rights and the Constitution is a sad refuge for those rvho fail to ansrver that question. Pegler says the big mistake rvas made recentlv rvhen someone told Hollyrvood i'.bout the Constitution and Bill of Rights, something they had never heard of before. "Hollyrvood's intellectr.ril rvorld is bounded only by sex and salary" says l'egler. No truer statement *was ever made.
And forgetting for the moment the Communistic matter, think rvhat a complete bust the motion picture industry makes of a marvelous opportunity right now. With mankind everyrvhere depressed, fear-ridden, gloomy, rvouldn't you think there rvould be brains enough behind the movies to deliberatcly develop a campaign to fight gloom and

depression by the showing of bright, hapPy, amusing, uplifting, inspirational, exhilarating pictures? Wouldn't you? You'd think they would lay down an absolute barrage of that sort of entertainment. And instead, what do you find in the great majority of pictures lreing shown? Drab, dispiriting, ciepressing, sordid themes, in which murder, violence of every sort, cruelty, lawlessness, depravity and all the other dark things of life are prominently displayed and portrayed. To no other industry did Providence lend such opportunity for doing good. And none has proven so recreant to its opportunities and its stewardship. The movies promise much, but pay little. We must judge them, not by reading their professions, but by observing their practice. Their acts are apparently commensurate with their mentality. ***
One of the much-discussed and highly publicized subjects of late is the so-called "new look" for the ladies. Tens of millions of dollars were arbitrarily extracted from unwilling American pockets by a fashion decree that made all women's clothes passe, and introduced something so different that no amount of tailoring would make old clothes up-to-date. Long ago the wise Thoreau said that "the head monkey in Paris puts on a traveler's cap, and all the monkeys in America follow suit." It was true then. It is NOT true now. Don't let that report that the "new look" came from Paris, fool you. It came from New York, and you can bet your last dollar on it. The Paris .report went out to draw enraged Americans ofi the scent. Yes sir, it came from that headquarters of all the grifters and grafters-New York.
About fifteen years ago this journal was raising its small voice to the highest pitch it could reach, condemning the proposed recognition of Soviet Russia by the American government. We opposed it on the grounds that the Russian Government was in no sense a civilized government and not fit to be welcomed into the brotherhood of civilized nations. We have often admitted in these columns that we are lousy prophets. Sometimes we think we couldn't rightly predict the date of the Fourth of July. When it comes to our predictions concerning Russia youlll have to admit we were a ball of fire, the seventh son of a seventh son, and all that sort of stuff. Surely that savage government bears no resemblance to civilization today. After all its other crimes against humanity, it now says to the United States "you shall not feed the hungry or clothe the naked or house the shelterless or heal the sick of Europe; we will fight to the death before we will permit it, because it would interferg with Russian political plans." fs that, think you neighbor, a civilized govern-
ment? There is plenty in the past to lead to the samg opinion, but this final climax of savagery shuts off all debate about Russia. She is not fit to be a member of the brotherhood of nations.
At the recent annual Press Club Gridiron Dinner in Washington, one of the skits showed Stalin, Molotov, Vishinsky, and Gromyko, as hunters, peeking into the door of an igloo. One of them said "somebody's in there; I can see thelvhites of his eyes." "Don't shoot," said Vishinsky. "Wait 'til he turns h*is back."
For two years Russia sat behind the iron curtain, growling and predicting that a great depression rvas bound to come to the United States, giving Russia a free hand to distribute Communism. Instead the seething mass behind the purtain broke loose the other day and showed an astonished world, not just Russia in depression, but Russia in a panic; a panic grim and great" Up to now the average Russian has been the poorest fed, poorest dressed, poorest housed of all humans. Think what he will be from now on. The Russian government to all intents and purposes, repudiated its national currency. Orvners of money were told to bring it in and exchange it for new money, getting one-tenth of what they brought in. There was too much money in circulation, and it r,r'as causing inflation, they said. The people were making runs on the banks and stores alike. So the government just took from every money owner ninety per cent of his rubles. At the same time they terminated rationing on food and other commodities. Why ration when there was practically no money left for the poor to buy with ? What a country ! What a government ! Wouldn't it be grand if we could bundle up every Commie and every fellow traveler in this country and send them over there where they could enjoy the fruits of Communism at first hand ? The panic in Russia came at a good time for the United States. Russia was getting dangerous to the world and ourselves. For a while at least she is going to be pretty busy saving Russia from within. Woudn't it be swell if she lost the battle?
All of Europe is going short of lumber in 1948. Competent authority from England says that the minimum needs of Europe for sawn lumber the next year will be ten to eleven billion feet; and that there is little more than half that much supply in sight. The need for lumber in Europe stretches into the far future.

The annual Christmas party o{ the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club, held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Friday noon, December 19, \4ras a grand success from every point of vierv.
The 69 children from the Edgervood Orphanage, San Francisco, rvho rvere the Club's luncheon guests, ranged in age from 8 to 13, and they rvere splendidly entertained. The club members also had a wonderful time observing the delight of the boys and girls.
A rveek before the party the children were asked what gifts they wanted. The gifts rvere all bought and rvrapped and each child got from Santa Claus exactly what he or she asked for. Lew Daniels of Harbor Plywood Corp. of California acted as Santa Claus.
The Club also purchased a merry-go-round, u'hich was installed in the orphanage grounds the day before the party, and was received by the youngsters with great enthusiasm.
After luncheon the children, and the grownups too, were
entertained by Jo-Jo the Clown rvith ventriloquism, puppets, and his own special brand of fun. Jo-Jo was assisted by his helper, Betty Ann, and C. C. "Sti" Stibich provided the piano music for the community singing and the songs of Jo-Jo's stooges'
A group of the children contributed to the program by giving choral numbers from the school's musical play, and they got a big hand for their excellent performance' which displayed some real talent on the part of one or trn'o of the participants.
President Wayns Rawlings and Secretary Paul Overend, who did most of the u'ork in arranging for the paity are to be congratulated on its success. Assisting them at the luncheon was Fred J. Ziese, and Charlie Gartin assistecl Santa Claus. Mrs. Wayne Rarvlings purchased and rvrapped the children's gifts, a big job !

The stained shingls and processed shake manufacturers of the United States and Canada met at Seattle, Wash., on December 8 and 9 for the purpose of organizing an association.
The association was formed by delegates from all the major producers of these products in the two countries to further use of pre-stained red cedar shingles and shakes -and will be officially known as the Stained Shingle and Shake Association.
Philip W. Bailey, head of the West Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle, was elected president of the new $roup. Other officeis elected at the organizational conclave were: C. V. Wise, American Stained Shingle Co., Columbus, Ohio, vice-president; H. W. Neuman, Colonial Cedar Co., Seattle, secretary-treasurer; Paul H. Puffer, Creo-Dipt Co., North Tonawanda, N.Y., I. E. Phillips, Perma-Products Co., Cleveland, Ohio, and Victor H. Whittall, Huntting-Merritt Shingle Co., Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, directors.
The 16 Ainerican and Canadian manufacturers, representatives-in most cases the heads of the companiesannounced that permanent headquarters for the new association will be established in Seattle and an executive secretary chosen on a full-time basis.
They also voted a substantial fund to be used in promotion of the products by means of a national advertising campaign. Other declared purposes of the new association are to achieve standardization of ths products through grading by quality, to improve production techniques and to expedite distribution. It rvas emphasized that distribution will be made only through dealers.
"The proposed advertising program of the Stained Shingle and Shake Association will be of an educational nature," Mr. Bailey said, "for although these products have been enjoying wide popularity in the Western states -and especially in the Northwest-for many years, their use is only now coming into prominence east of the Rockies. Three main points will be stressed in the program: beauty, protection (including insulation), and economy."

SINCE 1863 IT STILL DOES
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you, you friends of the lumber industry. Here's hoping that the close of 1948 finds you as prosperous as*you are at the start.
That's a pretty generous lvish, isn't it? For never in all the history of lumber has the industry in general and the lumber folks in particular enjoyed such spectacular prosperity as they are enjoying today.
Never before were prices as high, never before were profits as great, never before was there so apparently limitless a demand for wooden building material.
*rFrF
How long will it last? What may be expected next? Nay, nay, dear lumber friends. I shall not be coaxed or cajoled into any attempt to prophesy what comes next. You who have been reading these columns have no doubt noticed that for the past year I have had littleto say about the lumber nlarket, and less to say about future prospects. I decided that here was a subject entirely too hot to handle, and that fooling with it could only get a fellow into trouble
It has been a great deprivation for me to go along issue after issue and not talk turkey about the weird and exciting things I have been seeing and hearing. But conditions have been such that only a fool or a genius would dare discuss them truthfully. In fact; most of the'interesting things I iould have written would have stepped on someone's corns. So I decided to lay off. And on this New Year's day I am glad of it. The pitfalls have been many. ***
It has been not only the-biggest and strongest but likewise the nuttiest lumber market and situation in all history. We have seen things happen on every hand day after , day for the past year that were truly "out of this world." To recite the history of the period would require all exclamation points and capital letters. When the demand for a material reaches a point where its possessors can get any price they see fit to ask, strange things are certain to'happen;'and they have.
A mill man phoned a wholesaler and offered him a car of lumber. Asked the price be quoted one hundred and fifty dollars and twenty-five cents a thousand. The wholesaler said "I'll take it, but what is the 25 cents for?" The
mill man said: "One of my competitors sold a car of that item for one hundred and fifty dollars even, and I bet him I could sell one for more than that." And in this way, and in a thousand other ways just as peculiar, has the 'price of lumber been made. Every man you talk to can tell you the same sort,of stories.
Distribution has been as screwy as price making. A contractor went into a retail lrrmber yard and bought a carload of doors at the retail price, and shipped them twelve hundred miles to a construction job he was building, 1ocated within a very short distance of the place where the doors were made in the first place. The contractor needed doors and they were not to be had in the neighborhood of the job, and in the territort* *1"t" the doors originated.
Trading has played a prominent part in the distribution of lumber and other building materials all through the past year. Sit with a bunch of h,rmbermen and they can tell you by th6 hour the roundabout methods and routes that have been used to get lumber. This has been particularly true on the Pacific Coast urhere at times anybody from a butcher to a watch maker may be offering lumber, doors, or ply#ood for sale in large lots. But it has likewise prevailed to some extent throughout the lumber industry'
I have seen wild markets before in my lumber experience, b'ut during the past year I have seen innumerable caSes where buyers go out on the road hunting lurnber, with definite instructions to offer and pay more than the seller is abking for the stu,ff. It takes a lot of explaining to make such things understandable, but nevertheless a world of that has been done. It is hard to blarne a man for raising lumber prices when he offers a car for a certain price and the buyer comes back with an offer of ten bucks a thousand more if he can get two cars instead of one. ***
Of course, all building costs have gone up, and some of them far more than lumber, even with such conditions prevailing as I have briefy mentioned above. At the close of the good year 1947 the cost of building a house was higher than at any previous time in history. A St. Iruis concern built a house on paper thirty years ago, and ffgured the cost, including the very smallest items, at that time. Every year since they have figured the cost of that same house again, and made a chart showing the ups and downs of the cost of that house. At the close of 1947 it cost considerably more to build it than ever before. ***
Of course, there was more money available to pay for
A New Year's Note: " 'Tis better to give than to receive;" for you must pay income tax on what youreceive.
that house thah thcre ever was before, and putti.ng lt in terms of available nionen there are more people in this country today capable of buying and paying for that house even at present prices than there ever were before. It's the old story of the fellow who, when he paid fifty cents a dozen for bananas, remarked that when he first started to work bananas were only ten cents a dozen. "Did you eat many bananas then?" he was asked. "No" he replied, "I didn't have the ten cents in those days." ft's that way with homes.
rf*,f
What are the prospects for 1948? I shall venture just one prediction. At the close of 1948 the NEED for lumber and for buildings will be fully as great as it is today. There may not be the DEMAND at that time that therc is now, because the need for a thing and'the demand for it may be totally different. But we have not even started to supply the great national and world-wide NEED for lumber and the things lumber wiU build. And I very much doubt if we ever will. *O1U t do mearl EVER.
When you start predicting what the D,EMAND for lumber will be through the year, you are then invading the realm of economics. A man may be in dire need of a home, but if he can't or won't buy or build it, the need doesn't mean a thing. It is when he starts to buy or build that the need develops into demand. And if something happens to keep him from building, then the demand may rapidly disappear, leaving no change t_r,1" NEED.
Those who pred[ct and believe that ths present demand for lu,mber and for homes and other buildings will prevail for years to come, have firm foundations on which to stand. It certainly looks that way. The country is overflowing with money. If it were not you wouldn't see a buyer offering a seller more than his asking price. And as long as that supply of money lasts, there is going to be a terrific demand-as well as need-for building materials. At present the money supply seems good for a long time.
The greater danger to the future is the specter of infation. A good dose of that stuff they call infation would change the demand for building material into something much smaller and in a heck of a hurry. ft is reasonable to quppose that there IS an altitude limit, a height limit beyond which people cannot and will not buy. Thinking men generally concede that that is our chief danger, if prices
continue to rise. On the other hand there. is a school oI highty intelligent men who think wc have entered upon ah era of high price, cost, and profit levels, and that it may continue indefinitely. You take your choice of these opin- ions' * * *
The large majority of experienced business men and in. dustrialists agree that we are still in need of more production, and greater efficiency along prodtrction lines. This in spite of the fact that our national production level is extremely high right now. The part that taxes, and government tomfoolery, andl sinful waste play in our present situation, are things enthusiastically discussed by our American wise men. There is wide difference of opinion on all subjects, which is a good American sign. One of my good friends and a very kindly gentleman writes me that we should drop all our atom bombs on Russia right this minute, put the world back on a peaceful basis again, and solve all our problems in*that nranner.
Congress is meeting to fight inflation and help Europe; two mammoth problems. While Russia gnashes her teeth at us and insults us on all occasions, we continue to sell and ship her priceless and scarce American materials" While the price of food continues to soar here at home, our government by purchase and subsidy refuses to allow the price of food to sag a penny. The government calls on Congress to solve the inflation problem created almost entirely by government. And thus we enter the New Year.
Al Jolson says that with Congress in session we will soon have a batch of new laws, when a lot of people haven't had time to break all the old ones yet.

Hs welcomed the large gathering of lumbermen and their friends, and turned the meeting over to Vice President Tom Jacobsen, program chairman, who had arranged for a somewhat different line of entertainment, which included audience participation in the form of community singing, led by that expert director with the good voice, Mel Matheny.
The Marimba Trio delighted the audience with their music, and generously responded to many encores.
The Yuletide Carolers, a group of boys and girls of high school age, sang Christmas Carols and other numbers, each of which received a big hand.
Leo Hulett took the part of Santa Claus. He elected to upset tradition to the extent of handing out advice to a
A state-wide conference of drug crop growers was held at the State Building in Los Angeles on December 2nd and 3rd, under the auspices of the California Department of Education and Polytechnic College of San Luis Obispo. One of the principal speakers was Monroe C. Kidder, of Polytechnic, who told the meeting that the State of California has a potential one hundred million dollar tannin and wood pulp industry in the cultivation of the acacia wattle.
He said that Caltech has made tests which shorv that pulp from the small acacia tree imported from Australia makes excellent newsprint and would solve the shortage of this material if its cultivation was taken up in quantity. The acacia wattle also is a source of tannin, used in tanning leather, and now imported into this country from Russia and India. Kidder estimated that the plantings and

cultivation of 370,000 acres rvould be required to supply all the wood pulp and tannin needed in the West, which acreage rvould yield 200 tons of lvood pulp a day. It would take ten years to bring in the first crop, he said.
He also said that plantings of California tanbark oak could be made to yield as much as 200 tons of rn'ood pulp daily, if the possibilities along this line rvere carried through.
For Christmas George Ream, of Los Angeles, mailed to his many friends a desk thing that is highly attractive. It is a paper weight made of a score or more of goldlooking coins stuck together and flattened out that demands attention. Faces on many of the coins are those of very famous Americans, so the gift has historical as well as practical value.

The construction of a pilot plant for use of low grade wood by-products in the manufacture of more refined wood items has been announced by The Long-Bell Lumber Co.
The hokus-pokus of converting wood. by-products from the Longview, 'Washington, milling operation has reached the stage of commercial exploration and a pilot plant, equipped with all the necessary equipment will soon be constructed on the millsite. The machinery is scheduled for delivery in early 1948.
The findings of the Long-Bell research department have reached the stage of commercial production and the new plant is being constructed to carry on commercial scale experimentation.
The Long-Bell research department is not new to the company. Back in 1927, the research department was established wii:h several outstanding contributions made to the industry by Long-Bell personnel. Long-Bell research has previously followed the trend of product and manufacturing improvement rather than the test tube type of exploration
From the research of Long-Bell employees have come such adaptions as the Cone Vent, perfected by H. M. Cone, steam engineer, for use in dry kilns as a device for steam economy. The Huffman Hog, developed by the late C. A. Huffman, is used for cutting slab and other trimmings into materials for fuel.
Martin Air Dogs, used throughout the industry to hold logs on the saw carriage, was the development of Fred Martin at the Weed, California operation. Also coming from the Weed operation is the edge gluer which is used to glue up short lengths of stock into panels developed by Wayne Bassett and the late C. E. Williams. Paul Peterson, chief engineer of the Weed operation, has contributed many improvements including a flipper for loading large valuable logs onto the saw carriage without injury.
T. E. Heppenstall, assistant to Vice President and Manager J. D. Tennant, developed the Heppenstall moisture meter which is an electrical device for the determination of moisture content in wood. He also developed a similar meter for the moisture measurement in grains which is now used extensively by the government
A laboratcry was established several months ago to carry on various experiments in new uses of by-products.
The purpose of the experimentation has been to develop a higher return for the low grade materials. Facts have been gathered and te'chnical data have been compiled to form a basis for the experimentation.
Long-Bell
Some Long-Bell research has been placed in the hands of large commercial laboratories for various tests.
Development of present Long-Bell products has been carried on for several years in the development department. This is a phase of research which is aimed at the improvement of present products. In this department products have been revamped to improve quality, and many new items have been developed. The Long-Bell furniture line was built and rebuilt several times before being placed on the market.
The development department designs the furniture for quantity production, and uses the small lengths of lumber reclaimed from the lower grades. These practices have been brought about by research and development.
Long-Bell research is a cooperative effort of all LongBell t6chnicians with Heppenstall acting in the role of coordinator. Arthur L. Mottet is the research engineer, who works on present product development and the developing of new products.
Basically the Long-Bell research department is seeking to develop new products that will bring greater value from

Cohen was a horse player. Like all such, he contributed pretty steadily to the pockets of the bookies. But one day his luck changed. He became phenomenally successful. Day after day he picked winners, and reaped a golden harvest. His friends sought in vain to learn how he did it, in order that they might get in on it. But Cohen refused to give. He just kept winning.
One day Levy said to him: "Cohen, you must get wonderful information on the races."
"I don't get no information from nobody," said Coher,

"Then where do you get all these winners?"
"For those," said Cohen, "I use a toothpick."
"A toothpick?" said Levy.
"Yah," said Cohen. "I spread the entries out, then I close my eyes, then I jab the eatries with a toothpick, and where I punch, I bet."
Levy was incredulous. "Then where," he wanted to know, "do you get those winning parlays?"
"For those," said Cohen, "I use a fork."

lower grade by-products. By developing new wood products through research, Long-Bell will provide more jobs, a return to the stockholders and a product of consumer demand.
Many products are now being marketed made from wood by-products, but the possibilities of further manufacture of sawdust and chips is unlimited. Long-Bell norv markets sawdust and chips for fuel and paper manufacture. Wood waste is non-existent in the large Longview manufacturing operation.
Goal of the research department is to develop products to supplement and to be used in the lines now manufactured in the Longview factory. Wallboards, insulation
and pressed wood are a few of the many bits of wood magic now being marketed by other companies.
By utilizing the low grade by-products an manufacturing them into some substance of higher value to enhancd the present products at a price the consumer can afford to pay, the products of the Longview factory will create a greater demand. The factory at the present time is producing, unpainted furniture, window and door frames and industrial items.
Under construction at the present time at the Weed operation is a wood flour recovery plant. The plant will convert sander dust from the sash and door factory into rvood flour for further refinement. The dust is used as a filler for plastics and as a base for linoleums.
Entrance into this field is the result of research made by the research department after extensive tests at Weed by plant personnel.
The new Longvierv p.ilot plant will not employ many at the beginning, but as products are developed and reach the large scale production stagg, more employees and more equipment will be added.

The Rosicrucian philosophers say that in the impregnable fortress of truth is contained the true and undbubted Philosophers' Stone, that treasure which, uneaten by rnoths and unstolen by thieves, remaineth to eternity, though all things else dissolve, set up for the ruin of many and the salvation of some. To the crowd this matter is vile, exceedingly contemptible and odious, but to the philosophers it is more precious than gems or gold. It loves all, yet it is well-nigh an enemy to all; it is to be found everywhere, yet scarcely anyone has discovered it. It is the one thing proclaimed by veritable philosophers, which overcomes all, is itself overcome by nothing, searches heart and body, penetrates everything stony and solid, strengthens all things delicate, and establishes its own power on the opposition of that which is most hard. It is the way of truth, and there is no other part to life. It is the true medicine, rectifying and transmuting that which is no more into that which it was before corruption, even into sornething better, and that which is not into that which it ought to be. The gold of the philosophers with which the wise are enriched is not that gold which is coined.

The timber future of the Pacific Northwest is described pictorially in a 26-page booklet, "West Coast Tree Farms," just published by the West Coast Lumbermen's and Pacific Northwest Loggers Associations.
Told in full through the medium of selected photographs plus a series of drawings by Arthur Bimrose, Oregon artist, is the story of the origin and development of the 2,524,693 acres of Tree Farms in Western Oregon and Washington.
"Tree Farms," the booklet explains in a brief foreword, "grow timber. Year after year, without stopping, they produce the forest crops which mean jobs and payrolls and community stability. They mean lumber, paper, plywood and other forest products for America forever.
"Tree Farms are not 'just a name'; they're not a fad. A Tree Farm is a practical business venture, and is expected to pay its way. Tree Farms are designed to permit the greatest possible harvest, on a permanent basis, from our timber lands."
The booklet recalls that the Tree Farm movement, which originated in the Douglas fir region of Washington and Oregon, is now nationwide, with more than 14,000,000 acres of Tree Farms in 12 states. Copies of the booklet may be obtained by writing the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.

Washington, D.C., December 13-Clyde S. Martin, Tacoma, nationally known industrial forester, has been elected president of the Society of American Foresters by mail ballot of members, it was announced here today, the first time in the history of the 48-year-old organization that a forester in the field of private industry has been selected as its head. He succeeds ' Prof. Shirley W. Allen, School of Forestry and Conservation, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Mr. Martin, a native of Pennsylvania, has been chief forester of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company since 1939. It was under his direction that this company established the Clemons tree farm in I94I, wl-rich was the beginning of the national "tree Larm" movement.
He is a graduate of DePauw University and earned his master's degree in forestry at Yale in 1907. From 1907 to I92O he did cruising and forest engineering for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. From 194 to 1930, he was consulting forest engineer for India and later chief forest engineer for the government of Madras. He was in the sawmill business in Oregon from 1930 to 1933 and became chief forester for the Western Pine Association. Portland, in 1934.
Recently, he was elected a trustee of the American Forest Products Industries which is conducting a national educational program for better forest practices and protection. He served the Society as chairman of its Columbia River and Puget Sound sections and was vice president in 194G47.
The Society of American Foresters, the national organization of the relatively new profession of forestry, has seen its field of activities expand since its initiation in 1900. At that time, virtually the only employment of foresters was governmental, but today more than 2,000 are employed by forest industries or other private agencies, indicative of the growing importance of the profession.
The L. D. Reeder Company, flooring contractors, 122 No. Larchmont Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif., has opened an office at 4731 tlniversity Way, Seattle, Washington.

"The Farm Book, A Guide to Better Farming with Better Buildings," published by West Coast Woods promotion, is off the presses and being distributed to the nation's retail lumber dealers, lvho will handle sales.
"The Farm Book is an economic study of farm buildings in relation to farm profit, and presents mu,ch factual , information that never has been published before,,, West Coast Woods announces.
"It is not a plan book and is not intended to take the place of such a publication. It represents years of research and actual testing by the Doane Agricultural Service, St. Louis, whi.ch compiled the book, plus ths knowledge and experiences of agricultural colleges, the Unitecl States Department of Agriculture and other fact-finding organizations. The Farm Book points out how properly planned, properly located farm buildings can work to create and preserve income, if they are built economically sound in relation to the size and productivity of the farm."
Size of ths book is 9 x 12 inches. It contains 96 pages, more than 100 photographs and diagrams, and an entire section of handy tables, in addition to numerous tables throughout the book. There is front cover space for dealer imprint. The retail pricq is $1 ; soecial quantity prices are offered to lumber dealers.
Information is given on mapy farm problems, including building requirements for dairy and beef cattle, hogs, draft horses, poultry and sheep. The supplemental tables are easy-to-understand guides to capacities and dimen_ sions of buildings for various purposes, sizes .and spacing of building units, value of farm products in terms of income to the farm owner and the most profitable investment in farm buildings.
Publication of this handbook of farming facts, announces West Coast Woods, was done for these two purposes:
1. To create goodwill among the nation's farmers by providing a handy, reliable source of information on various farm problems.
2. To stimulate lumber sales for retail dealers through construction based on sound building advice. In this category, the Farm Book becomes a permanent sales promotion piece for retail lumber dealers.
fn a message to retail lumber dealers, West Coast Woods said :
"Your efforts in distributing this book to your farm trade will be part of a well-organized program.. On its part, \\rest Coast Woods is providing merchandising aids such as displays and banners and national advertising in such ' farm magazines as the Farm Journal, Country Gentleman, and Successful Farming.
"In addition to being helpful to your farm trade, the book has definite advantages for you. The ideas it contains on building and farm improvements are businessgetters for the building materials you sell.',
Retail lumber dealers may obtain .,The Farm Book, A Guide To Better Farming With Better Buildings,, from West Coast Woods Promotion, 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.

Thc fourth 30-day Training Course sponsored by the Lumber Merchants of Northern California will begin at the University of San Francisco on Monday, January 19. The classes will run all day long five days a week. Enrollment application blanks can be obtained from the Association office, 2L4Front Street, San Francisco 11. Telephone is YUkon 6-3705. The cost of tuition, books and registration for non-veterans is $60.00. Veterans will receive total expense, including subsistence, under the Veterans Administration program.
The Association bulletin announcing the ,course states in part as follows: "Dealers are reminded that this course has been scheduled for the rainy season with the idea that you may be able to spare that man you have been wanting to send to previous schools. May we suggest if you are in need of another man in your organization that you select a promising GI from your community, and he can attend this course without expense to himself or the company, and will come back ready to go to work mohths ahead of where he would be in normal yard, employment. Those dealers who sent employees to previous classes have continued to send additional men to the school."
The course will feature the textbook package, a complete kit of trainrng material relating to the retail lumber business that can be used by the student for years to come.
Subjects covered include lumber and lumber products, sheathing, siding, shingleq, preservation, plywood, flooring, millwork, steel products, hardware, brick and tile, cement, insulation, paints and finishes, glass products, general business subjects, construction and estimating, and new trends and ideas.
