First announcement l'as made at the meeting of the IJureau's plans to promote on a national scale during 1949 an attractive all-sl-ringled house design, knorn'n as the Certigrade National Home. R. V. Winters, vice president of National Plan Service, Chicago, described the program to the 200 Pacific Northrvest shingle manufacturers assembled for the convention, and presented an attractive model of the home to W.W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager of the Bureau.

Other featured speakers at the meeting u'ere Phil Runion, secretary of the Nebraska Lumber Merchants Association, Lincoln, Nebraska; Ralph N{arteney, Kansas Whole-

sale Lumber Co., Wichita, Kansas; Neil NI. Mathews, vice president of Farm Journal Publishing Co., Philadelphia; Chas. W. Goodrum, C. W. Goodrum Lumber & Shingle Co., Kansas City; and P. W. Bailey, Stained Shingle and Shake Association, Seattle.

Woodbridge described the meeting as marking the initial step in an intensified program of cedar shingle advertising and trade promotion. He pointed to a rising volume of sliingle production, approximating six million squares in 1948, stating that the shingle industry has made a remarkable recovery from its wartime position, rvhen output was at a low ebb.

Those men who are planning to retire and stop doing useful things, seeking a life free from responsibilities and duties, would do well to remember what Diogenes said when it was suggested he rest because he was old. He said: "If I were running in the stadium, ought I to slacken my pace when approaching the goal? Ought f not rath*er ,.1l",*o" more speed?"

Trouble rvith religion, it has never had enough business in it. Trouble with business, it has never had enough religion in it. Trouble with education, it has never had enough business or religion in it. Trouble with the world, the running of it has been turned over to so many men who are lacking in both

and religion.

The lumber industry looks back upon 1948 with a great deal of satisfaction and appreciation. And very properly so. It was the most prosperous year this industry has ever known. It was the longest period of sustained high prices and good profits in our history. If 1949 will turn out as well as did 1948, this industry will truly be in pcsition to celebrate NEXT Thanksgiving.

This is true of "tt a.p"ri*.1l,r'", the industry, the dealer, the wholesaler, and the manufacturer, and pertains to all districts and all species. This prosperity has followed every root and branch of lumber and its associated industries. Likewise to all followers of and workers in the industry. All have nto"n.tid.* ,,

High prices for lumber have brought high .,vages for workers, high prices for logs and timber, high costs for everything that goes into lumber manufacture and distribution, and, generally speaking, excellent profits for all concerned'

The greatest change that the high tide of the last two or three years has brought to the lumber industry, is in the economic and financial position of the lumber manufacturer. This means the substantial, permanent operators of sawmills, and does not necessarily apply to the comeand-go-quickly type of small and poorly financed mills that have followed the high l"_T,,O.t tide like locusts'

It is not talking out of school or telling private seci'ets to state that always in the past the great majority of lumber manufacturers have had continuous financial problems. Always they were in debt, always they had bonds

and other forms of indebtedness hanging round their necks. When hard times came, when lumber got cheap, when it could only be manufactured at a financial loss, the mills had to keep running. They could not help themselves. They must have income to finance their debts, to help them meet their payments, and so in good times and bad -they ran. The sacrifice of timber had to be accepted, because they needed money.

One o,f the most important parts of the lumber industry was the financial department. Banks and bonding concerns by the score made a special business of mill and timber financing. Fortwo generations the financing and refinancing of mills andtimber was a major industry throughout this land. And the yoke of debt played a most important part in the lumber drama, just as it does in the lives of individuals who are similarly oppressed. Mills seldom closed. They couldn't. Their bonds and other debts kept them running. And lumber often suffered from this alone' ,F * ::3

Today, for the first time in two generations, the substantial sawmill operations of the entire nation are free from that old and deadly bondage. So today, for the first time, these mills are in position to protect themselves and their timber holdings should the occasion arise. Today, for the first time, they could shut dorvn if it seemed wise to do so, and if circumstances suggested.

For the last five *orrt; "l ,no, there was a continual, if very slight, slackening in the demand for lumber in general. It has been accompanied bya modest reduction in lumber prices. There has been no sharp break of any sort in the lumber market anywhere. All lumber still brings excellent prices. But the seller's market that had prevailed for a year or more has come to an end, and for the first time the mills seek business. A terrific amount of lumbel production contributed to the situation just named. 1948 will be one of the biggest lumber production years in all history.

There are many *no aJ.r"]., "na r am inclined to agree very strongly with this opinion, that a certain amount of softening of lumber prices may be helpful rather than hurtful. A general and modest decline may save the serious trouble that inflation always brings. Certainly it would seem that nobody has been hurt as yet by the softening of the automatic lumber demand. The balloon that fills too fast and too much is in danger of explosion. I think

The figures under the above diagrams represent the total resistance to the passage of heat through frame walls insulated in three different ways. Note that the wall with Full-Thik Super-Felt has far more heat resistance than either of the others. This means greater fuel savings to your customers and more year-round comfort.

Installation costs are the same whether you install inadequate insulation or the best. You can easily cut SuperFelt Batts with an ordinary knife to fit snugly around cornefs, firestops, braces, windows, etc., resulting in a better and more efficient job.

that the situation is far less dangerous today than it was last June, and, if affairs turn out right after the first of the year, the industry nray be in definitely more healthy position than it has been in some time.

t< x< >:.

We have only had a mild slackening in the present DEMAND for lumber. There has been no decline in the NEED. Both at home and abroad the NEED for the things that lumber will build will not be supplied at any time in the foreseeable future. When the price of. things pass a certain point, demand declines. But need does not. A man who wants a home and can pay eight thousand dollars for one but cannot get what he wants for that amount, ceases, for the time being, to be a building prospect. His need continues, and some of these days he will be back in the demand category.

There are indicatior," ir, lu i,u., that there is not as much easy money in the country as there was a year ago,; and this naturally affects the lumber and building situation. But this is still an enormously prosperous country that is in the midst of a huge tide of prosperity, and with some modest adjustments all around there is no reason why our economy should not go on indefinitely on a prosperous basis for all good people. We WERE heading for dangerous inflation levels. In that respect our national economy undoubtedly shows improvement.

And, as I stated u.for.] ,ri. ".,Or,"rrtial sawmills of the nation are in better position than ever before to stand any modest let-down in the building situation. "f am not going to operate at a loss THIS time, if business gets slack," almost a countless number of mill men have said to me lately. But, of course, there are hundreds of Johnny-comelately mills of all sorts all over the country but particularly in the South and West, that will close by the score

if the market should take a definite dip for any length of time. These would be casualties. A well known financial journal recently stated, and accurately, that "a little higher costs and a little lower lumber prices would close hundreds of sawmills."

And the average l"*b; ;;r is also in better shape financially than ever before. IIe, too, has been able to clear his financial decks, improve his properties, put his business on a more efficient operating basis, and build solid foundations against any ups and downs that may be in store. It is literally true that the lumber dealer is today in better position as a distributor of lumber and building materials than he ever was before. He has fewer outside elements working against him, he more completely and thoroughly is recognized as the building specialists of his town than ever before, and there are no fundamental clouds on his business horizon. His is a thoroughly useful, economical, honorable line of business, and is universally recognized as such. Those prophets of evil who now and then arise to declare that the lumber dealer is outmoded and doomed, rvere never farther wrong. He is sitting prettier than ever before in historv.

* *'*

While this is NOT an effort at prophesying, it seems from where this writer sits, that the lumber industry on this New Year's Day is in very, very fortunate and enviable position. It makes and distributes one of the world's greatest needs, and regardless of temporary rises and falls, its products can never again be really over-supplied. Demand will come and go. But the NEED for lumber will never again be completely met. There is no such prospective volume on top of this earth.

So, come on, 1949 r w"*,t ir,r. Lr.'.. golng to like you.

This oll-purpose southern hqrdwood con bring you q lot of profitqble business. But for top-quclity of foir prices . be sure the gum pfywood you feqture isWeldwood gum!

Don't overlook the profit possibilities of this lowest-priced hardwood plywood. And don't just because of the low price . . . forget how really ffne a good unselected gum panel can be.

By that, we don't mean you shouldrush out and buy gum indiscriminately. Because, during the past several years, a great deal of inferior gum plywood has found its wayto the market.

But we do want toiemind you that good grtm plywood is a reasonably-priced, fast-selling, high-profft item. And Weldusood gum panels are always the cream of the plywood crop.

Like other Weldwood hardwood plywood oak, mahogany, birch, walnut and many others

. . every gum panel is under constant care by Weldwood experts from forest to finished panel. Nlanufactured with the most modern methods and equipment . . . it must pass rigid inspection before it is allowed to carry the Weldrvood name.

Weldwood gum panels are versatile, too. Thev take stains readily to ffnish up as beautifullv simulated mahogany or walnut. And for painted surfaces, the panels are ideal because there's no grain raise.

So don't give gum the go-by. It's a beautiful wood, reasonably priced, and can bring you a Iot of business.

During the war a big plane was flying across the Mediterranean. On board were a number of women and children refugees, and four men, an American, a Frenchman, an Englishman, and a Greek. One of the plane's two motors died and soon they were losing altitude and in grave danger. First they threw out all luggage and everything else that was loose, and still the plane rvas slowly dropping toward the water.

Yet it was still not enough, and the pilot reported they were still dropping slowly.This time the Englishman rose to his feet, shouted-"There'll always be an England !" Then he threw the Greek out.

Forest Service Drops Plan for Woodfeaf Sustained yield Unit

San Francisco, Dec. 2l-Chief Lyle F. Watts of the U. S. Forest Service, Washington, D. C., notified Regional Forester Perry A. Thompson today that the Forest Service has dropped its plan to establish a cooperative sustained yield unit at Woodleaf, Calif.

The plan, announced last Feb. 7, would have allowed the Forest Service to enter into a cooperative agreement with the Soper-Wheeler Company of Strawberry Valley, Calif., for'coordinated management of the company,s land and specified land in the Plumas National Forest, on a basis of sustained yield. Such agreements are authorized by the Sustained Yield Unit Act passed by Congress in 1944.

The Forest Service announced and held a.public hearing on the plan last March 8 at Quincy, Calif.

The complete record of the hearing, along with statements submitted by proponents and opponents up to July 31, rvas forrvarded to Chief Watts for final decision.

Chief \\/atts' notice to the Regional Forester follows in full:

"Subsequent to the public hearing at euincy, California, of March 8, 1948, on the proposed Woodleaf Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit, thorough consideration has been given to the advisability of establishment of this Unit and approval of a cooperative sustained yield agreement with the Soper-Wheeler Company. Because of intense local interest in the proposals, the time for submission of statements to be included in the record of the hearing was ex_ tended from the 30 days first announced to June 30 ancl .then to July 31, 1948. The complete hearing record, with statements submitted on or before July 31, as submitted by the hearing officer, has now been read and considered.

"In view of a number of important questions which were brought out at the hearing and in statements submittecl subsequently, I have concluded to drop consideration of establishment of the Woodleaf Cooperative Sustained yield Unit. Should consideration of the Woodleaf Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit be reopened, another public hearing will be held."

Appointed Director oI Scles Promotion

Associated Wood Products Co., of California and Ore_ gon, announced from the head office in Berkeley the af_ filiation of Perry E. (Ed) West as director of sales promotion for this rvell-kno'rvn firm of structural timber contfactors.

Mr. West is rvell knort'n ir-r the architectural, structural engineering, and contracting fields. He was California division engineer for Timber Structures, Inc., when that concern first entered the roof truss field in California.

The association of Ed. West with Associated Wood Products Co. follorvs closely the opening of Associated's Portland, Oregon branch under the management of Jack D. Godfrey.

Frank Connolly Visits Philippine Mills and Makes First-Hand Report---'!(/as Royally Received and Entertained

If you \vant to knotr, about conditions in the lrhilippinc Islands, rvith particular regarcl to the lumber situation 6ys1 fhslg-ask Frank J. Connolly, President of Westerrr Hardrl.ood Lnmber Company, of Los Angeles. He returned to Los Angeies on December 2nd, after one of the most interesting and opportune luml>er investigatir-rg trips anv man ever macle. that covered almost all the lumlter manufacturing territories of the Philippines, u'ith an adcled look-see at the siluation in Tokvo, Japan.

Sir.rce there is an armr- of people lvho are intensly interested in the l'hilippines and their lumber production, THE CALIFORNL\ I-UN[BER l,{IIRCHANT intervieu,ed Nlr. Connolly on his return in order to give our reaclers a ruu-dou'n on his tri1l.

IIe left Los Angeles by plane on C)ctober 23rcl, flen'to San Francisco n'here he changed to l)hilippine Airlirres, which carried him on a DC-(r, to Nfanila, in the Philippine Islands. He stayed 29 days in the Islands, then flen' to Tok,yo, stayed there one u'eek, and then flerl' to Alaska by Northrvestern .\irlines, ancl arrivecl back in I-os Angeles on December 2nd, af.ter a most amazing trip. I)uring his D days in the Philippines he n'as the guest of the Government at all times, and he rvas royally rvelcomed and entertained bv evervone from President Quirino dorvn. Everyr,vhere he rvent he u'as met .ivith official courtesy and personal hospitality on the part of Government oflicials ; and his entire itinerary \yas arranged by the forestry department of the Irhilippine Government. Florencino Tamesis, Director of the Bureau of Forestry of the Philippines. accompanied and conducted Mr. Connolly on his entire trip over that mighty archipelago.

This rvas no childs-plav, this visit to sal'mills in all parts

of that mighty groul) oI islands. Wherever there u,ere air fields, they traveled by plane. When there rvas not air transportation available, they used rvhatever modes of travel pls5snted themselves, ocean steamers, river boats, trains, automobiles, trucks, and in one case a considerable trip by u'ater in a big dugout canoe. They encountered rnuch rain, and rvinci, and bad u'eather during the trip, 'rvhich added to their difficulties. Yet their Philippine hosts made all plans and arrangements. and all in all tlid a magnificent job of sho.rving the Philippine forests and the Philippine milling industry to their guest.

\\lith Nfr. Connolly and Forestry Director Tamesis orr this trip rvent Col. A. G. Jacobson, of Manila, rvho represents \\restern Hardrtood Lumber Company in the Islands, making his heaclquarlers in tl.re ofllce they opened in NIanily a little over a year ago. A large and interesting voluure might be u'ritten about Col. Jacobson. Heis a graduate of the College of Forestry of the University of Michigan, ancl before the recent u'ar he was a manufacturer of hardrvood lumber in the State of Arkansas. During the t'ar he u'as a Lieut. Colonel under General MacArthur, commanding Battalion No. 1002, a Forestry Battalion. He landed u'ith his battalion rvith MacArthur on the Islancl of Le,vte l.hen the Magnificent N{acArthur returned from Australia, and proceeded to do valiant service to his departrnent. One of the first moves rvas to take 34 of his men to Fabrica on the Island of Negros, to try and save the big sau'mill plant of the Insular Lumber Company at that place. The Japs rvere destroying every industry from u'hich the Americans were driving them. Col. Jacobson made a hard drive to get to the mill before the Japs could burn it. Due to misfortunes in transDortation.thev arrived

too late. The Japs had word of their approacl.r and had burned the great plant with the exception of the planing mill facilities u'hich were on fire .ivhen the Americans arrived. but they put out the flames and saved that part of the plant. The rest of the biggest harcln'ood mill on earth r,vas destroyed.

When Col. Jacobsolr g()t out of the arn-ry l.re came back to the Unitecl States for a short tir.ne, and then rvent back to the Islands to o;ten the \\restern Hardrvood Lumber Company office there. Not onl1- is he a brryer and business representative for his employer, but. as an expert hardrvood r.nanufacturer, he l.ras been able to render specialized advice and assistance to the prostrate sau'r.nill industry in its efforts to rebuild throughout the Islancls. Manl' people have gone into the salvmill business in the Tslands since the u'ar rvho had no previous experience in lumber making. ar-rcl rvho are therefore .rvoe{ull}' short of the kr.rolr.-horv re<luired in that business. Col. Jacobson has been of great help to such people.

So he arranged for this specialll'conducted visit of lirank Connolly to the Philippines. Follorving the close of the n'ar the U. S. Armv u,ent to u'ork to rehabilitate as far and fast :rs possible the prostrate lumber industry, and in dciing so they introcluced and pnt into commission about 110 I)iesel clriven circular sau'mills. Nlost of those mills are nou' in private use under private ou.nership, and practically all the sar'.mills of the l)hilippines are still made up of these former aLrnry mills. Progress is being made. Ifere and there sau'r.nills are being nroclernized. Some are preparing to put st(ram po\\'er back in to supplant the I)iesels. Some are installing other nrachinery for making better lumber. I-unrber cut on one of these circulars is made u'ith a very r'ieelt kerf, l'ith mtrch loss of valrrable u,ood, and with a huge accrlllrrllation of sarvdust.

Xfr. Connolly found at nearlv all the mills he visiterl that their main problem u'as getting rid of their sal.dust, crlgings, ancl trimrnings. Burning Diesel arrd using no steanr, thev have no use for this sau'mill \\'aste. ancl have to scr to great difticulty and expense to haul it al'av frorrr thc mill. He arriverl at the conclusion that it \\'oul(l be jrrst about as cheap to install stezlm p()\ver plants as to keep orr hauling an,av the r.nill 'n'aste. "At one mill he sa\\' a most unusttal sight. A great Carabao lrrrll was use(l to haul thc sawdust from the rnain sas-. The r-ehicle used u-as a rlrrgout canoe tl-rat had been crrt in tt'o and made irrto a rr'l-rcclless rvagon r.r'hich rvas fille<l u'ith sau'drrst ancl dragge<l ar,vay by this porver{ul l>east. At the nrill edge the loatl was dumpe(l on the ground, and tl.ren a. pou'erful bulldozcr' came along and pushed the san'dust still farther a\\r:r_v. So here was a Carabao beast and a modern bulldozer conr' bining their efforts to free this mill from s:rrvdust au<l nrill waste.

In the Philippine Mahogany forests there are threc rliiferent textures of r.rood, the hard, the meclium, an(t thc soft wood. One of his missions on this trip rvas to discover where the better and harder uroods \vere to be foun<I. He considers the softer type much less valuable anrl useful. He sarv magnificent forests in all parts of the Islands. The most impressive was one norv being cut near Fabrica, u'here Philil>pine \fahogany starrrls 40.000 feet to the acre

on flat and open corintry. This forest gro\\'s much like a Pine forest on flat land in the United States.

Not only did the Director of Forestry conduct and accompany Messrs. Connolly and Jacobson on this inspectiorr trip over a great territory, but he had rnade arrangements far in advance so that every place they visited furnishecl them an organized meeting with all those in the vicinit_v interested in lumber and forestry. This provided the r.isitors 'n'ith a series of practical forums rvhere thel' could gathcr information, get their questions ansu'erecl, and thrrs seclrre practical information on the subjects in rvhich ther. rvere interested. Thev asked ar.rd ansrverecl questions, to the mutual adr.antage of themselves and their hosts. Lr this n'ay they securcci priceless informatiort not othertr-isc available.

We shall mention in this story several of thc r.nore iurportant milling operations visited b1' X{r. Connolly arrcl party. Already rn'e have mentioned the tragedy that ovcrtook the great plant of the Insular T.unrber Company, at Fabrica, on the Islancl of Negros. Before the Japs move<l in this u'as the biggest harchvood san'mill plant on earth, cutting 75 rnillion feet of lumber annually, and employing 3,00O men. The sarvmill that the Japs burned before thel. fled from the returning Americans, \\'as ecluipped rvith tu'o big band heaclrigs, one heavv-dutv ponv headrig, two (rfoot resalvs, a gang, trvo edgers, trimmers, and otl.rer equipment that made it a rvhale of a n-rill. The planing mill u,as of like size, ancl there rvere 13 double Nloore cross-circulation drr- kilns. .All this has lteen rebrrilt as before, except thesal-mill llroper. u'hich is smaller than the old mill. It is equippe<l u'ith three circular headrigs, arrd the rvhole plant is non' electricall-'- driverr. It nou- ltrriduces about 4.000.000 feet ur month.

ifarr,e)' C. Pope, Resident Manager of the L.rsular Lunrber Conrpany before the rvar, rvas imprisoned by the Japs at Los lJanos. and kept there all through the u'ar. He is again uanager for the Insular sarvmill operations, and it n,as he l'ho rebuilt the huge mill.

The next largest lumber l)roducing corlcerlt ir, the I'hilippines today is tlie St. Cecilia Sau'mills, Inc., n'hich operates 6 separate and individual sau'rnills oi the circular tvpe. Some of the mills have just circular headrigs, anrl others har,e additional pon1. rigs for resar,ving the lumlrer ln<l flitches. These mills are located arounri Tagkar'vayan. u'hich is on a railroad line running direct to Manila. This concern norv manufi,.ctures about 3 million feet of lumber a month. and contemplates manv impror-ements to its mills and eriuipment in the near futnre.

At Xfercedes, on Luzon, he s:rn' the sarvrnill of the North L--amarines I-umber Companv, rvhich is equipped with a heaclrig and resarv.

At Diaet, on Luzon, he sal' the sarvnrill of the \[arsmarr Development Company, 'rvhich is a heaclrig and pony-rig, and t,hich runs trvo shifts seven days a rveek.

At Davao, on the Island of Mindanao, a city of one million people and second in size only to Manila with its 1,800,000 population, the Consolidated Investment Company is operating a two headrig sarvmill that belonged to Japs before the war. This mill rvas badly bombed by the Americans cluring thc rvar, and is recluiring much rebuild-

ing, which is norv going on. It will soon be a very modern mill. The logging is done by railroad. The mill has a great ocean dock that rn'as damaged by bombing and must be rebuilt.

On North Mindanao Mr. Connolly visited the mill of the Nasapit Lumber Company, near the torvn of Butuan. It is a trvo headrig mill in one building, and is being modernized and improved. There are three other srnaller ltut substantial mills at this same place.

Also on Mindanao he visited the single headrig mill of the Santa Clara I-umber Company, at Gingoog, and the Anakan Lumber Co. sau'mill at that place.

The Soriano interests, one of the great industrial groups of the Philippines, are now developing a big logging operation on the Northr','est coast of Mindanao. Thev mav build a mill later on.

It rvas reported to 1\{r. Connolly that there are almost countless small and inconsecluential sawmills cutting Philippine on Luzon, Nlindanao, and other islands.

Mr Connolly and party did not visit Basilan Islar-rd on the Southern tip of the Islands, but it 'ivas reported to him that there are trvo large mills dorvn there. The Santa Clara Lumber Company has a mill on that Island that is perhaps the third lalgest sar,vmill in the Philippines. The Elliott Bay Lumber Company also has a rnill of major importance there.

At Batangas on Luzon, Mr. Connollv visitecl a spler-rclirl ne\v remanufacturing plant being operated by the National Development Companv. There is no sarvmill here, but rather a finishing plant to rvhich lumber is brought in frorn many sources. In this big factorv they shorvecl him

Willcnnette Vcrlley Lumbermen's Associcrtion Holds Monthly Meeting crt Eugene

The monthlv meetir.rg of the \\rillamette Valley Lumbermen's Association lvas held at the Osburn Hotel, Eugene, Ore.. Friday evening, December 17.

Thc guest and speaker \\ras Ralph T. Moore of Coos Bay rvho is a member of the Oregon State Legislature, also chairman of the Interim Committee appointed by the late Governor Earl Snell to investigate, study and make a recon-lmendation aiming to solve the highu'ay problem throrrghout the State. The title of I\{r. Moore's talk n'as "The Challenge of Oregon's Highn'ay Needs."

a sash and door plant, a battery of straight-line rip sarvs, smooth-end trimmers, sanclers, stickers, moulders, and a nerv Yates-American 4-62. They have nel' and modern Moore cross circulation dry kilns capable of drying one million feet of lumber a month.

Altogether Mr. Connoly and party visited about fifteen of the better sawmills in the Islands, and had reports or.r many of the less important mills. E,verywhere they t'ent they were entertaincd by the local officials and citizens. Tl.reir report on their trip lists dozens of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, as u'ell as a very interesting visit u.ith President Quirino. All the lumber people and lumber and forestry ofificials were eager for Philippine Mahogany neu's from the United States. and also anxious for advice and information regarding the marketing and use of their product.

On November 2lst Mr. Connolly flerv to Tokyo, t'here he stayed a lveek, looking into the lumber situation there. He found that the Japanese plyrvood industry is greatly in need of Philippine Mahogany logs for their factories, and there is a very {air market there also for Philippine lumber, just as there has alu'ays been. Japanese oak today costs more delivered in the United States than the best American oak, and is therefore plaving no protlirrent part in the market on this side.

NIr. Connolly left Tokyo on Nor-. 29th and flen, home b)' way of Alaska, and got to Los -tngeles on December 2nd, a 'll'iser, but much more tired man. He savs he wouldn't have missed the trip for a million, and rvouldn't make it agair.r for ten. If you could read the trials ancl troubles they encounterecl getting to and frorn a lclt of those Island mills, you rvould understand t,hy.

I HE experience of Associated Plywood Mills extends over a period of 28 years.

That is a long time in the plywood industry. Long enough to acquire "know-how"; long enough to realize that plywood, like any article of worth, is judged by quality of manufacture, long range research programs to improve the product constantly, honest dealings with buyers, integrity of management.

Branches have been opened recently in San Francisco, Dallas and St. Louis. These regional distribution depots, plus a group of strategically located sales warehouses, widen the service of Associated Plywood Mills to all sections of the country.

NLMA Board ol Directors Meet in W"shington

A. J. Glassow Elected President

Leading lumbermen of the United States completed a successfttl four-day conclave at the Shoreham Hotel in \\raslrir-rgton, D. C., on Thursday, December 9, 1948.

The occasion was the meeting of the board of directors of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, board of directors of the Timber Engineering Company, and the boarci of trustees of the American Forest Products Industries.

Thc highlight of the gathering rvas adoption of a report l"ry the Committee on Conservation of NLI\{A 'n'hich rvas an admirable presentation of the industry viervs concerniug actual conditions in tl-re forest of America today, and in the future. Committee Chairman If. N{. Seaman, rvho is also president of the Southern Pine Association, pointed out that through continually improving methods of forestry practices, n'e harre reached a point rvhereby the annual drain from all causes in cubic feet, lacks only 2 per cent of all grorvth replenishing yearly. The report states that the nation's forests are adequate to meet another national emergellcy, although it was made plainthat the cost to our forest resources rvould be heavy.

Statistic-n'ise, the report shou'ed the rapidly increasing numlrer of foresters employed by private industry, in that in 1930, there u'ere less than 400 technical foresters, while

Jnnouncing

WE ARE NO\T DISTRIBUTING:

today there are 2,500 such persons employed by the lumber industry. Another comparison of interest, was the fact that 20 years ago, operators in certain sections left as much as 10,000 to 20,000 board feet per acre on the ground after logging. Nou', 25 per celtt greater yield is harvested per acre by many lumbermen under the same conditions.

In considering the present altnormal high drain o{ sarv timber, as per trees reaching sa.ivtimber climensions, the report pointed out that ever since the Civil \\,-ar, there has l>een a cycle during rvhich imrnediately follotving national ernergencies and during eras of extreme prosperity, there has been an enormous increase in demand for lumber products, and that for example, the preseltt year rt'ill see a new all-time record in house construction. "It rt'ould, of course, be fool-hardy," says the report, "to think that this is a permanent trend, or that it rvill continue."

Of interest to the lurnber industrl' was the resolution adopted calling for ir"nmediate lifting of all export controls upon lumber. Another resolution called upon the government to amend the tax lavgs to make allon'ances betu'een depletion and the actual cost of replacing production facilities. A strong stand u.as also taken against any future increased Federal regulatior.r of forest practices. Appror.al was given to a recommenclati<in calling for appointment of an advisory committee to the l)epartment of Commerce with personnel rvhich t'ould lte satisfactorv to the lumber industry, if the Department so desires.

Th,-: NLMA Board of Directors reiteratecl their policy stand on termination of u'ar controls, govenrment competition and discrimination, housing, construction, finance and f,scal matters of the government, social secnrity, labor relations, wage-hour larv, and transportation rrratters.

The election of officers was made for the coming year, rvho are:

A. J. Glassou', Bend, Oregon, president; H. il{. Seanran of Houston, Texas, first vice president; John B. \,'eacl'r of Washington, D. C., vice president and treasurer; Homer B. Jamison of Fresno, California, vice president; C. W. Ingham of Marcola, Oregon, vice president; Omar J{ilton of Warren, Arkansas, vice president; R. A. Colgan, Jr., of Wasirington, D. C., executive vice presiclent; and Her.rry Bahr, of \\'ashington, D. C., secretary.

Los Angeles Olfiice ol FHA Has Insured Timber Authority Talks on Forests Over Billion Dollart of Loans and Lumber Supply

By the latter part of November, the Los Angeles office of the Federal Housing Administration had insured more than one billion dollars of loans since the creation of FHA in June 1934 to buy, build, or improve properties in the Southern California counties under their jurisdiction, according to John E. McGovern, director, Southern CaliforniaDistrict, FHA. This district volume u'as second only to Detroit, rvhich exceeded the billion dollar mark ten days earlier.

All the loans u'ere made by private lending instittttions and insured by the FHA under the various provisions of the National Housing Act.

The amount involved represents 490,000 insurecl loans for $185,000,000, under Title I, for improvements, additions to. or conversions of existing structures, and 160,000 insured loans for $815,000,000 Ior building and buying homes, and for rental housing projects under Titles II and \rI of the National Housing Act, Mr. McGor,'ern said.

A breakdorvn of the volume under Titles II and VI insured cases reveals that, although Title VI did not become operative until January, 1943, it represents approximately 38/. of the number of cases, and 43/o of the dollar volume of the total cases insured by the Los Angeles Office. Title VI became operative as an emergency measure offering more liberal financing terms than the basic, Title II program, to encourage volume production of hornes by

The annual meeting of the Society of American Foresters ireld recently in Boston, Mass., heard an address of much practical value delivered by a great timber authority. He rvas Clyde S. Martin, chief forester for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, of Tacoma, Wash.

He predicted that the United States rvill have a permanent timber supply of betrveen 24 and 31 billion board feet annnally, ancl that such supply rvill be sufficient to meet the normal domestic needs of this country. He said that this countrv normally consumes about 24 billion feet of lumber. He estimated that at the present rate of cutting there is one hundred years cut of virgin commercial rvestern pine timber standing in the Western states, and fifty years supplv of virgin Douglas Fir.

Both the western pines and Douglas Fir are grorving very rapidly, so that the supply stretches farther into the fnture than can at present be estimated.

operative builders for rT,ar rvorkers, and later for returning veterans. Title \rI. as it related to projects of one- to fottrfarnily structures expired as of April l, 1947. The rentalhousing, multi-familv phase of Title VI, namely Section 608, rvhich calls for insurance of loans on projects of 8 or more dwelling units, was revived by Congress in Attgust, 1948, to expire April 1. 1949.

Biggest Moulding Plcnt Stqrts Operctions-Planer Necrrly Recdy

I)roduction has startecl in the neu' Ponderosa I'ine moulcling plant of Southn'est Lumber Nlills, Inc., at N{cNarl., Arizcna, according to announcement by James G. Nf cNary. president. This is the biggest n.roulding plant er-er built, and rvill turn out 35 cars of mouldings and venetian blind slats every month. It replaces a smaller plant destroyed bv fire last June.

The neu, planing mill. replacing one destroyed by fire at the same time, is nearing completion and u'ill be in

operation during January'. It n'ill have a capacity of four million feet of lumber monthly.

Thc nerv moulding plant and planer are fireproof buildings of great size that stand side by side, and rvill rvork in coordination rvith the big sa.n'mill of Southt'est Lumber N{ills at McNary.

Big Scrwmills crt Flcgstcll Arizonc Close lor Winter

Trvo big sawmills located at Flagstaff, Arizona, the Southu'est Lumber Mills, and Saginarv & Manistee Lumber Company, shut dorvn for the rvinter, the first on December 10, and the second a rveek later. In January the planing mill and shipping departments of both plants n'ill resunle operations, but the satvmills lvill be down most of the rvinter. This is seasonal procedure, due to the cold rvinter r.veather in that high altitude. These are both double band mills that manufacture about 8 million feet of Ponderosa Pine lumber a month.

Hecring on Proposed Sustcined Yield Forest Unit ct Flcgstafl

Orl February Znd, a hearing rvill be held by the U. S. J)epa-rtment of Agriculture at Flagstaff, Arizona, orr the lrroposition to make that area and the Coconino Naticlnal Forest a sustained yield unit. This can be done urrrler the Sust:iir.red Yield Unit Act of NIarch. 1944.

In orcler that the citizens of Fiagstaff and vicinitr. ma)' fully understand the meaning of tl.re n-latter. Roland Rottv, Supervisor of Coconino National Forest, and Paul lledarcl,

his chief assistant, have taken turns appearing before many service clubs and other civic organizations, explaining in detail what it is all about.

Under the Act mentioned it is possible to declare a Government forest a sustained yield unit, and fron.r that time on guararltee to certain mills of that area a continual and permanent supply of timber for their saws. In Fagstafi there are three major sarvmill companies that rvould share the timber grorvth of Coconino National Forest, and thus be assured of their future supply. This would enable them to make important investments in railroad, mill, and other equipment that they would not be justified in making i{ their timber supply rvere in hazardous position.

Since 40 per cent of all the people of Flagstaff make their living directl.v or indirectly from the Government forests adjagent to the city, it is argued that it is an ideal situation for location of a permanent sttstained yield unit.

Plcrne Still Missing

The private plane in u'hich Paul D. and Robert Starr and Miss Ruth Meyer took off from Salem, Oregon, on December 4 is still reported missing.

Paul D. and Robert Starr, who operate the P. D. Starr Lumber Corporation at South Gate, Calif.. had flou'n to Salem on a business trip and \\'ere enroute to Los Angeles. N{iss Meyer. Portland lumber broker, was on her rvay to Los Angeles to visit her ailing father, a Los Angeles phvsiciarr.

New Year

A fower unblown; a book unread; A tree with fruit unharvested; A path untrod; a house whose rooms Lack yet the heart's divine perfumes; A landscape whose wide border lies In silent shade neath silent skies; A wondrous fountain yet unsealed; A casket with its gifts concealed; This is the New Year for you waits, Beyond tomorrow's mystic gates.'

-Horatio Nelson Powers.

Did Nocrh Drown His Grcrndpc?

You think the above is a silly question? Well, let's do a little figuring, and see.

The Fifth Chapter of Genesis says: "Methuselah lived a hundred and eighty-seven years and begat Lamech.

"And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died. And Lamech lived a hundred and eighty-two years, and begat a son. And he called his name Noah."

Thus we see that Noah was Methuselah's grandson. In the seventh chapter, eleventh verse, we learn:

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the rnonth the same day were all the fountains of the deep broken up and the windows of lleaven were opened."

Take your pencil and write down 60O. That was Noah's age when the flood came. Under this put 182, which was Lamech's age rvhen Noah was born. To this add 187, which was Methuselah's age when Lamech was born. Add these up and you get 969, the number of years from the time Methuselah was born, until the food.

And 969, remember, was the age at which Methuselah died. So, according to the figures furnished by the Scriptures and quoted above, Methuselah died the year of the flood. Which leaves the very definite possibility that Noah, when he entered the Ark,left his old Grandpappy out in the flood to drown. Of course, the old boy could have died before the seventeenth day of the second month of that year, but unless he did, we can only conclude that his grandson, Noah, sure done him a dirty trick.

Thct Unqnimous Letter

(The following, an original GCL story, and first printed in these columns in 1923, is reprinted by request.)

A scared looking darkey rushed into the sheriff's office with a scrawled, unsigned letter, in his hand, and said: "Jedge, I jes' gotta have piteckshun. I gots a unani-

mous lettah heah and dis niggah says he gwine t'kill me, an' I gots t'have piteckshun."

The Sheriff looked the letter over. It simply read: "If you don' let Mah wife alone I'm gwine t'take Mah razor an'cut you' black haid plumb off."

"You don't need any protection," the Sheriff told him. "All you've got to do is let his wife alone and he rvon't hurt you."

"But, Jedge," insisted the darkey, "you don' seem t'undastand. Dishire's a UNANIMOUS lettah ! How do I know whose wife t' let alone?"

In Reverse

While the elderly filling station man checked the tires, the tourist who had stopped in the small town for gas watched a young man putting a roof on a small new building close by. The tourist said to the gas station man:

"That young chap doesn't seem to know much about carpenter work."

"Nope" said the station man. "He's a young lawyer that's jest settin' up in practice here. Used to be when one moved to town, he'd hang out his shingle. Now, with help and buitding so scarce, the first thing they do is shingle the hang-out."-Wall Street Journal.

Ain't It Fine Todcy?

Sure, this world isfull of troublesI ain't said it ain't.

Lord, I've had enough and double Reason for complaint;

Rain and storm have come to fret me Skies are often gray;

Thorns and brambles have beset me

On the road-but sayAin't it fine today?

What's the use of always weePin'? Making trouble last?

What's the use of alwaYs keePin' Thinkin' of the past?

Each must have his tribulationWater with his wine;

Life, it ain't no celebration, Trouble-I've had mineBut today is fine !
