How Lumber Looks

Portland, Oregon. December 17-Shipmbnts from Douglas fir sawmills for the first eleven months of 1953 were only 53 million feet below production, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Smith pointed out, however, that orders rvere lagging behind both production and shipments for the period.

The unfilled order file stood at 717,W9,OOO board feet for the period, about even for the previous month. Lumber stocks climbed 17 million feet above October. Smith said. to 1,050,439,000 board feet.

The weekly averag'e of West Coast lumber production in November was 182,824,000 b.f. or 96.6% of the 1948-1952 average. Orders averaged 179,214,000 b.f.; shipments 178,768,000 b.f. Weekly averages for October \\rere : Production 190,759,000 b.f.; l@.8% of the 1948-1952 average; orders 187,828,000 b.f.; shipments 194,935,000 b.f.

Eleven months of 1953 cumulative production 9,530,993,000 b.f.; eleven months of.1952,9,3Q,678,0W b.f.; eleven months of 1951, 9,687,743,W b.f.

Orders for eleven months of 1953 breakdown as follows: Rail and truck 6,456,307,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 2,A13,700,000 b.f. ; export 485,888,000 b.f.; local 4I7,37t,CiUl_b.f

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 717,009,ffi0b.f. at the end of November, gross stocks at 1,050,439,000 b.f.

Lumber shipments of 489 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer r.vere 8.2 per cent belo'1"' production for the week ended December 12, 1953. In the same rveek nerv orders of these mills 'ivere 2.1 per cent above production. Unfi11ed orders of the reporting rnills amounted to 31 per cerit of stocks.

Lumber Looks Ahead To '54

By Jomes R. Bemis President, Notionol lumber Monufocturers Associotion Woshington, D.C.

Whether you plan to build a new house, panel a basement recreation room, or simply put up a few. shelves, 1954 will be a year of better buys in lumber.

The do-it-yourself enthusiast, particularly, will get more attention from the lumber industry in the year ahead. For the ever-increasing number of home handymen, the lumber industrl' offer nelv ideas and services especially tailored to their needs.

Lumber manufacturers are setting out to a greater share of the honte remodeling and home renovation market in order to ofl:set an ar-rticipated drop in nerv residential building from about 1.1 million starts in 1953 to slightly less th:ri.r a million preclicted for 1954.

\\/hile home builclirrg prospects afe <kin'n slightly, the sale of home handyr.nart lork patterus is bo<tming and do-it, l.ourself actir-itv is on the upgracle across the country.

Recent sur\:eys indicate that in 1952 Americans spent more than three aucl one-half ltillion clollars for do-it-yourself supplies :rnd tools. That's an a\.erag-e of about $77 per householct-$60 of u'hich is reported to h:rve lteen sper"rt for lumber and other building materials. The lumber rnanui factttrers of the countrv realize r',,hat this market means iu terms of present and potential sales and intend to see that its needs are satisfied l'ith the best rlaterials :rnd serr-icd they can p;-ovide.

One step in this clirection has beerr the pre-packaging of lumber. Tliis means that the mannfacturer cuts the boarcls to the various sizes lnost popular fclr do-it-yourself .urork ancl passes alorrg to the consunter- the savirrgs that restrlt from bettcr rrtiliz:rtior-r of r:rn' m:rtcrials. N{ore of tlris t1'pe selling can lie cxpectecl irr the vear ahca<l.

Nlost oi tirc nation's leacling home buildcrs concecle that they rvill havc t<l offer prosltectirrc honrc bul'crs rtr<lrc vitluc f<lr their <krllar <luring 1954. Grcatr:r usc of u'oorl to lcrrrl inclividuality :rrrrl rlistir-rction to r.r(:n' honrcs :rpl)cars t() figtrre lirominently irr their thinkirrg.

C)r'eral1, thc lunrl.rer rn:rrket shorrl<1 remairr rel:rtir.cly stablc cluring 195-1. In total ncn' coustruction activityu'hich absor-bs about tu'o-thirds of tlre lnmbcr ltroducecl in this courrtrr--thc outlook is for a clolllrr volume only about tno per cent lrelou'1953's record figure of ne:rrly 35 billion dollars.

As significant as the ot'eral1 constructic.rn pictu:-e are the opportunities l'hich the lumber industry has to expand its markets ir-r specialized fields of builcling ancl in repair-maintenance-:rlteration activities.

Engineerccl timber construction, lvhich t:rkes full advantage of the functional nature of rvood, has become increasingly popular since \Vorld War II for schools, rvarehouses. supermarkets, churches and other one-story structures

rn,here the accent is on economy, safety and utility. The school and commercial building booms predicted for 1954 ol1er lumbermen a chance to step up the pace of engineered timber construction.

Also important to the industry's future is a neu' ten-year million-dollar research program which the National Lumber l\{anufacturers Association is preparing to launch in an effort to der-elop neu' and improved wood products.

N{ean'ivhile, tl-re American lumber industry has many problems to face in 1954. There a:'e, for instance, high production costs u'hich clo not appear likely to decline, the ch:lllerrgc of other popttl:rr building materials, and competition from foreign lumlrer tnanulacturers.

llasically, tl.rough, the industry is in good health. Lttn-tber productiou for 19.53 is figurecl at about 38.4 billion boarrl feet-a shade alrove the estimated output of. 38.2 billion lroa:-<l feet in 19.52. Lttrnber consttn-rption, rvhich incluclcs exp()rts ar-rcl imports as 'rvcll as changes in distributors' stocks, is c:rlcul:rted at about 4O.7 billion board feet for 1953. conrparecl u'ith :rn estimated 40.4 billion board feet in 1952.

In the light oi lrhat rl'e k11e$' fqdar,, and the best available er-idence as to future trends, it seems reasonable to expect th:rt lun-r'ber production and consumption next year u'ill closelv approximate this year's figures.

There is a possibilitr. that lumber production next year mav be off five to ten per ce11t from 1953. But it will be difficrrlt to make a positi\ie estimate until general business corrditions for the cotning year ancl ttr-rcertainties in the lumber pictrrrc arc clarified b1' developments in the next feu'rnorrths.

NIrlre certain than any forecast of the 195,[ market is this fact-there u,ill be plenty of lttmber arrailable to meet both civilian ancl deferrse rerluirenrcnts in the vear ahead zrn<1 for all the foreseeirlrle future.

Federql Housing Plcrns Agreed Upon ln Wcrshington Meeting

President Eisenhower's 23-man advisory housing committee met for three busy days in Washington early in December, and finally drafted a new federal housing program. Result. the housing industry got a new program that is reported to have fairly pleased the various groups represented on the committee, bankers, public-housing fans, unions etc. Federal Housing Chie{ Albert Cole presided at the three clay session, and seems to have done a good job of combining the elements.

Earll' last summer, he started a series of "shirtsleeve" conferences u,ith various housing interests around the countrr.. When Eisenhower named the advisory housing committee last September, Cole split the committee into five lvorking bodies and, in less than three months, gathered testimor.rv from more than 200 groups and individuals.

Virtually er.ery point raised at the meeting was shot through 'r,r'ith controversy. For example, the builders, tt'ho .\\-ant lon' interest rates, easy credit and long-term mortgages, battled rvith the banks and insurance companles, n'ho u'ant higher rates and shorter-term mortgages. But dilTerences n.ere. ironed out, and the committee finally agreed on a set of recommendations to send to the President.

Here are some of the reported recommendations, not

official until the President says so:

To provide more housing for low-income families, FHA would be allowed to insure mortgages up to 40 years (v. 30 years now) on houses priced up to $7,600 (or $8,60O in some high-cost areas). At cr-rrrent interest rates, monthly carrying charges would be cheaper than rent, i.e., $33.76 on a $7,000, 5/o mortgage..

To put lorv-cost older l.rouses on a par rvith new houses, FHA lrould be permitted to insure mortgages on owneroccnpied older houses up to 95/o ol the FHA appraised value, the same as on ne\\' houses (compared to the present 80/o limit).

The present lou. ler-el of public-housing construction (about $40 million a vear, enough to build 20,000 housing units) rvould be continued.

As a compromise in the interest-rate squabble, a maximum rate for FHA-insured loans rvould lte set al 2/2% above the going yield for long-term Government bonds (at present rates, roughly 5%%).

The limit on FHA insttred home-repair loans would be increased from the present $2,500 ceiling to $3,000 or $3,500, and the term of tl-re loans extended from tl-rree Years to ten.

Estate Planning and Your Business

By Roymond F. Triplett Roymond F. Tripleft ond Associotes Son Jose, Colifornio

\\rhen death strikes dorvn a principal the continuity of a business operating as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or close corporation can be gravely threatened. Few business men fully realize the disastrous series of events which, follou'ing death, can completely shatter ll.hat has taken a lifetime to create.

Where inadequate, improper, or no planning has been done, the clamorous dentands for ready cash to meet estate taxes, inheritance taxes, income taxes, indebtedness, and administratiorr costs can cause valuable business assets to be sacrificed on the forced sale block, seriously jeopardize the interests of the surviving business associates, as well as threaten the continued existence of the business itself.

Earlier in the year the newspapers carried the story of Bing Crosby's monumental tax problem brought about by the death of his wife. Such things are happening every day but too many business men, rvhile vaguely recognizing their nltimate problems, put off taking steps to solve them until it is too late.

Partnerships Vulnerable

A irusiness structure operating as a partnership is particularly vulnerable. Under the Uniform Partnership Act, a partnership is automatically dissolved upon the death of either or alty of the partners. The surviving partner, in the absence of an express agreement to the contrary, finds himself as a liquidating trustee.

He is responsible to the estate of the deceased partner to liquidate the business and to sl.rare all the proceeds therefrom rvith the estate. Yet, he must alone bear all loss incurred u'hile operating the business during the liquidation process.

Rather than liquidate, the survivor rnay desire to reorganize and form a new partnership with the '"'"'idow and heirs of the deceased. This is usually unsatisfactory becanse the rvirlor"' rn'ill contribute little toward the success of the business and vet, she can be a source of great irritation and annoyance to the surviving partner. He will be rn the position of doing all of the work and supporting tvvo families out of the earnings of the business. The situation could become totally intolerable u'hen the rvidow of the deceased partner remarries and the survivor finds himself in business u,'ith her second husband.

From the point of vierv of the {amily of the deceased partner, they inay be far better off to have their money out of the business rather than have to depend for their livelihood on a speculative business operated by the surviving Dartner.

To further aggravate the situation, where minor children are involved, a probate court may not allow the continued participation of their capital in the business. The probate judge could demand licluidation to recover the cash representing their interest. This would inevitably result in severe loss to the srrrviving partners.

Oftentimes, partners u'ill feel that the surr-ivor can buy out the interest of the deceased on a promissory note basis over a period of time or by borrowing the required amount. They overlook the all important fact that, for every dollar tl.rey are obliged to pay the estate or tl-re lender, they must earn from $i.20 to possibly more than $2.00 depending upon their personal tax bracket. Any interest consideration would be in addition to this. Either r,vay, the survivor u'ould find himself saddled rvith debt and with his future earnings mortgaged.

The basis for many partnership death plans is "If anything should happen to me, my partner rn'ould take care of my family just like I rvould take care of his." This attitude is commonly expressed rvhere brothers are operating partnerships. Here again, hou'ev€r, it must be remembered that, rvhile eveyone is friendly and amenable to one another's suggestions todal', life is a passing parade and r,vidows sometimes remarry. The courts are kept busy with family quarrels and squabbles which end up in litigation over business interests.

In most cases, the interests of all parties concerned can best be served by rnaking arrang'ements while all partners are living, in the form of a binding buy and sell agreement drafted by a competent attorney and adequately funded with life insurance. This arrangement enables the surviving partner or partners to continue the business without being hampered by strangers or members of the decedents family. To the family it brings tax-free cash for the full value of the business interest which they can rlse to provide for support and maintenance.

Close Corporation Troubles

Although a corporation continues to exist after the death of a shareholder, the consequences of a death can be as disastrous as in the chse of a partnership.

When a stockholder dies, his shares pass to his estate. If there is a need for ready cash to take care of taxes and other expenses, this stock may have to be sold. If it is a minor interest, there u'ould be little or no market for it outside of the corporation itself. If the decedent's interest represents control, the surviving shareholders find themselves vvith a fozen investrnent and no voice in manage-

Roymond F. Tripler

ment-at the mercy of the ne\v controlling interests'

If the estate represents control and does not constructively contribute to the operation of the firm, active stockholders possessing the minor interest could become disgruntled. If the estate ol.vnership consists of a minority interest, again we have a situation tvhere the representative of the decedent's interest could hinder the operation of the business by continued interference rvith the surviving management.

Members of close corporations are now recognizing the wisdom of making arrangements while all parties live, for the purchase and sale of a stockholder's interest at death. During the lifetime, agreements may be formed where either the corporation itself or the surviving stockholders individually pur'chase the shares of the decedent.

By this method, sales to outsiders are avoided. The surviving stockholders will not have to contend with the decedent's heirs. An immediate market for the full value of the shares is provided. The desired ratio of stock apportionment can be upheld.

Sole Proprietorship Problems

When a sole proprietor dies his ltusiness assets and liabilities are lurnped rvith the assets and liabilities of his personal estate. Without specific authority granted in the sole proprietor's will, the executor of his estate has no legal right to continue the business. Should he do so he, personally, must be liable for any losses incurred.

When the intelligence and ability of the sole proprietor are taken from the business, in many cases, it is no longer a "going concern" and valuable ltusiness assets are sold at a fraction of their true worth. The surviving family can lose substantially all of what it took years of hard work, risk taking, arid ability to create.

Here again, adequate advance planning can prevent or, at least, minimize the impact of death upon the business of the sole proprietor. While living, he can have his will include express authority to his executor to continue the business until such time as an advantageous sale can be made. lle must, hor,vever, absolve his executor frorn responsibility of loss. With suitable management and adequate cash, the executor could continue the business until it could be sold for its true r'vorth as a "going con'cern" or. if desired, until eligible members of the family could take orter.

However, the need for cash liquidity would be acute to prevent having to sell valuable assets to meet the cash demands occasioned by death and to bolster and stabilize the business during this highly critical period.

To insure business continuity, to provide the sole proprietor's estate with a market for the true value of the business, and to cement loyal employees closer to the business during the lifetime of the sole proprietor, an arrangement is often executed whereby an employee or group of employees are permitted to buy tl-re business upon the death of the sole proprietor. This is accomplished while all parties live, by agreement u'hich pre-determines the rnethod of evaluation o{ the business for the purpose of sale at time of death.

Even if the family retdined partial or controlling interest, the retention of key employees is vital to the future success of the business.

Liquid Cash

Regardless of the type of business structure, be it sole proprietorship, partnership, or close corporation, provision must be made for ready cash to purchase the interest of the decedent. The surviving individual partner, stockholder, or key employee usually does not have inactive ready cash available. We previously discussed the tax disadvantages of borrowing or buying an interest over a period of years. In many cases, certain legal restrictions could prevent these funds being obtained from partnership or corporation assets.

The establishment of a cash'sinking fund is possible but highly impractical because a premature death or'adverse business conditions could th'r'r'art such plans.

' Wherever insurability exists,'t,ise business men take full advantage of receiving discottnted, tax-free dollars by the life insurance method. Funding agreements in this manner is economical, efficient, and sure.

In preparing such arrangements, competent legal, accounting, and life underwriting counsel should be obtained.

Carefully drau,n, a buy and sell agreement or stock redemption plan, funded s'ith life insurance and trusteed through a bank is the most positive way of guaranteeing the continuity of the business and preventing disastrous losses to the estate as well as the surviving business associates.

New Book lists lO27 U. S. Trees

As an aid to foresters. botanists. students and other people interested in trees, the U.S. Department has issued a check list of trees of the United States and Alaska. The list, a book of 450 pages, covering 1027 trees, is Agriculture Handbook No. 41. A copy may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C., for $2.00.

The list, compiled by Elbert L. Little, Jr., of the Forest Service, under direction of the Forest Service Tree and Large Plant Name Committee, gives the accepted scientific names, their etymology, current synonyms, approved common names, other common names, range of native and naturalized American trees, bibliograpiric citations, and other information. Conforming to the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature, the list aims to encourage uniform usage of names for trees.

The book is confined to trees which for the purpose of listing are defined as woody plants with a single erect stem or trunk, 3 inches or more in diameter at 4l feet above the ground and at least 12 f.eet high. Also iarge willow trees I'r'ith several trunks springing from the same root and other similar trees are included in the list.

This is the third official tree list of the Forest Service. It supersedes and is a thorough and complete revision of Miscellaneous Circular 92, a check lidt compile d in 1927 which is out of print and which used the now obsolete American Code of Nomenclature.

Evangelist Billy Graham built what he called his "Crusade Auditorium" this past fall at Detroit, Michigan, to house a tremendous religious crusade. It is one of the largest r-,'ooden structures built in modern times. It is located on the Michigan State Fair grounds, seats 12.000 people, covers one and three-quarters acres of ground, is.240 by 318 feet in dimensions, and is practically free from upright obstructions due to its wooden arch truss construction. It was built in just 5 weeks time.

The trusses were built from glued, laminated lumber, and there are 45 feet of these trusses each spanning 80 feet. TECO, research affiliate of the National Lumber I\Ianufacturers Association, is the author of this engineering triumph. The different parts are put together with wedge-fit, split-ring connectors, a TECO device.

DON $r/HrTE

This is just a bit of a story-a sort of brief personal testimonial-about a young man who well represents all that is best in the lilZest Coast lumber industry; one who makes you sorta proud to be mixed up with this industry; Don White, vice president and general manager of $7hite Brothers, San Francisco and Oakland, of the free and unafraid State of California.

Back in 1872 two brothers left behind them the lumber industry of "tU7ay Down East," and settled in San Francisco. They were Asa L. Vhite and Peter'White. Soon they were joined by another brother, Jacob White. They started a wholesale hardwood lumber concern, t$7hite Brothers, which has been working and growing there ever since. According to their eady history they sold "hardwood lumber, wagon matetials, spokes, hubs, buggy shafts," etc.

Today these S7hites still run the shebang; a mighty big and impressive one it is. STilliam T. $7hite, son of the original Asa L. S7hite, is the honored president, and lends

great prestige and dignity to the business. He has a son, also rVilliam, who manages the Softwood Department. The late C. Hary White, son of Jacob \7hite, was a tremendous factor in White Brothers development. He was vice president and general manager, ahd a man of national prominence in the industry.

He left two sons, Don and Charlie, both now vice presidents. Chadie is manager of their big Oakland Division, while Don follows his late father as top management officer. If this was a banquet and Don lWhite about to speak, as toastmaster, we could load him down with admiring adjectives. But here we shall spare his blushes. Let us just say that in him there has been rolled into one modest-sized and likewise modest human package, a young man who reflects abundant credit on the lumber family from which he sprung, and the lumber industry, of which he is a shining light. A business man of acknowledged high ability, and a gentleman ol friendliness and charm, he is one whom the Bay District lumber industr,v points to with unaffected approval.

Oakland Milf Celebrates 65th Anniversary

Eastshore Lumber & Mill Companv, Oakland, California, producer of "Elmco" Brand redrvood and douglas fir products and formerly operating under the name of The Pa,cific Tank & Pipe Company, is today celebrating its 65th year of business life. This pioneer California firm began manufacturing redu'ood tanks, pipe and similar products in the year 1888. at the same location "Elmco's" modern mill stands today. Through the years, the firm has gradually discontinued the production of redwood tanks and pipe and geared its manufacturing facilities to the production of standard lumber products for the distribution to retail lumber yards and wholesalers under the name of Eastshore Lumber & Mill Company. These changes, however, did in no \\'ay alter the basic policy of the company to prt.rduce a continuously improved product for the benefit anci service of its customers.

A fel'v years after World War II, Eastshore Lumber & Mill Company underlvent an extensive modernizatton program. The management of "Elmco" toured the Pacific Northwest gathering ideas for the modernization of their mill in Oakland. The materialization of these ideas, coupled with the purchase of several new production machines. installation of modern dry kilns with capacity of 400,000 feet BM per charge, the expansion of yard facilities for pre-air drying prior to kiln drying, and the erection of a TGfoot

burner, narre ..rotded the "E,lmco" mill into one of the most efficient, compact plants of its type on the West Coast. The mill is now able to handle, through 6 production machines, 21O,UJO {eet BM per S-hour shift. They consistently maintain a well diversified inventory of over 5,000,000 feet BM of upper grade California red'ivood and douglas fir. rvhich together rvith a good stock of other yard items, would represent practically all retail yard needs-ready for immediate shipment by rail, or by the company's ou.n fleet of trucks. A rapidily grorving part of the business is the kiln driecl redwood bevel sicling and finish, largely marketed in the East and Middle \Vest under the "Elmco" brand name. In addition to standard inventory items, "Elmco" maintains a large stock of "unitized" packages of r.arious grades and sizes of pickup items, therefore making it possible to service retail yards on very short notice. "Elmco" is fully equipped rvith the latest milled-to-pattern knives to furnish all standard redwood and douglas fir patterns.

In addition to lumber produced in "Elmco's" Oakland mill, they are also the exclusive mill agents for several sawmills, rvhose products they ship direct to the purchaser. The latter f unction completes the 3-in-1 operation of "Elmco," namely as the producing sawmill, the established Wholesaler, arid the \\rholesale Lumber Distributor, maintaining a large inventory and complete manufacturing facilities close to the consuming market.

Homes Shall Endure

A philosopher recently said that we are living in a brutal, materialistic age, giving more REALTY to stupid, physical things, than to God-like enduring IDEAS; that we are building 40-story office structures, but writing no Hamlets; riding in aeroplanes, but writing no Illiads.

To a considerable extent and from many viewpoints the gentleman was RIGHT. But there is one particular lvay in rvhich he was WRONG.

There is ONE particular direction in which the thinkers and workers of THIS age have progressed farther than in any previous age or generation, and that particular direction is one that means MORE for mankind in general than either Hamlets or Illiads-beautiful and enduring though they ARE-can possibly mean.

THAT direction, is the science of HOME BUILDING.

- In the old days when this world was young, mighty men of mighty ideas constructed the PYRAMIDS of Egyptthe Parthenon of Athens; and to this good day men marvel at the wonders that they r,.i'rought.

But the people that built those wonders of the u'orldskilled builders, as all generations since have proclaimed them to be-lived in shelter that no self-respecting bulldog of THIS day and generation would care to call his own.

Homer u'rote his Illiad and his Odessey, and sent those priceless literary pearls down to us through the ages, and u,e almost worship at the shrine of his genius.

But Homer never knew the REAL comforts of HOME. For in those days of inspired ideas of ONE kind, the HOME making idea was LACKING.

Shakespeare gave us his wondrous writings and his shrine grows brighter every day as we laud his genius.

But Bill never looked through a clear pane of u-indor,r' glass in his life; never dreamed of the conveniences of tr modern bathroom ; never slept on a spring mattress; never dreamed of a built-in book-case; never saw a glazed sun parlor, or a cool-air sleeping porch; and what he didn't know about steam heat, and refrigeration, and kitchen sinks, and running water on tap, and ventilating rn'indows, and ALL the other comforts of HOME, would fill a bigger book than any he ever wrote.

For WE, of THIS generation, have done and are continuing to do one great and enduring thing; we have learned the SCIENCE of practical, attra-ctive, convenient, comfortable, modern HOME BUILDING.

And we are the FIRST generation since this old n'orld was young, to learn it.

They are tapping the infinite and translating it into terms of human thought, and the finished product is spelledHOME.

For of all our civilizing influences, it is HOMES that shall longest and strongest endure.

Ben 5. Allen ond Fomily Relocote Ar Their Cleor Loke Home

The California Redwood Association announced recently that Ben S. Allen and the Allen family (including George the dog) have taken up permanent residence at their newly enlarged summer home at Point Lake View, near l-ower Lake, California. Although the Allens had resided in Palo Alto, California, for many years, their main love has been the Clear Lake region and their summer home (enlarged threefold since the beginning) in specific. The Allens are by no means tenderfeet in the Clear Lake area, having spent their honeymoon there- truly "charter members of the poison oakers," as Ilen says. Incidentally, last December marks their 44th wedding anniversary, which certainly precludes Ben from a tenderfoot rating in that category. The move will also enable Ben to be in the field tnore for the Association and do considerably more personal contact work than was possible before, when his home base was in the Association's San Francisco office.

Ben originally started out to be a lawyer, however, during his course of education at Stanford became editor of the Stanforcl paper, a job that cinched him for journalistic and publicity work from then on. After graduating from Stanford, he worked on about every San Francisco paper and then went with the San Francisco Bureau of the Associated Press. About three years before we entered World War I, Ben was assigned to the AP office in London and spent eight years reporting the news at that point. As an original member of the Commission For Relief in Relgiurn, he directed publicity for this famous organization as a volunteer, but continued his regular work as war correspondent for the AP. After the war, he returned to this country with Herbert Hoover and became director of the Educational Division of the U.S. Food Administration. He also organized the educational divisions of the U.S. Fuel Administration and the War Trade Board. During this time he also served as public relations consultant for all of the

Hoover relief organizations. His next lrove was back to California, were he settled in Sacramento and acquired the Sacramento Union, a newspaper which he operated some three years. He then opened his own publicity office and did work for various California farm co-operatives, and also published The California Farmer. During that tirne, he also was made executive secretary for the Growers Tariff League and also served as secretary of the California State Division of Markets. Shortly after the start of World War II, Ben went with the Office of War Information, broadcasting to Indonesia, China and Korea. After the War, he did a considerable amount of research for The Pacific Lumber Company in preparation for a history of that firm. That period spent browsing through "Lumberland" was Ben's downfall-he caught the "Lumber Fever" (there's no cure) and has been with the California Redwood Association ever since.

Ben's work with the CRA is apparent everywhere. He was instrumental in setting up the Redwood Region Conservation Council in 1950 under the sponsorship of the CRA. The RRCC has made great strides since its conservative beginning and is now considered as one of the most effective bridges between the lumber industry and the public as a whole. The RRCC, in its short existence, has brought the lumber industrv and the public together, and pouretl a concrete foundation oi understanding between the two by educational prograrns such as Fire Prevention Education, Couservation Education, Youth Education, Tree Farming Prograrns and Public Information.

In actively participating in all of these programs, in addition to his regular CRA work, it looks as if the Association has a pretty busy man in Ben S. Allen.

Good morning, my bright international mate, My outstanding genius in problems of state, I trust all is clear in that wonderful mind, Which last night remodeled the whole of mankind; Your handling of Russia, the Ruhr, Palestine, And China and Greece, it was masterly, fine; You're sure to be named as "The man of the year," , Here's four or five aspirins-swallon them, dear.

Awake, my fine songster; it's well on toward noon, All morning I've waited, just hoping you'd croon A measure from "Chloe", or "Deep rolling sea," Which,last night you sang until half after three. You wakened the neighbors, you tripped on the mat And one of your props was your hoistess' hat. I'm sure she will want you again for tonightThe life of the party whenever you're tight.

Arise, my Sweet Prince, but. be careful-don't skid, Arise, and consider the things that you did; The uprooted garden, the splintered garage, It sounded just like an old-fashioned barrage. Go, see your hostess-and carry a check; I think if you sign it just "Pain in the Neck," The bank will Okay it-t'would be just like you, The clown that went beserk twixt dawn and the dew.

So, drink up that seltzer you chattering drone, It's said to be good for a splintering dome. I wish I were Sandow; how far would I throw you!

' For the next thirty days please pretend I don't know you. My juvenile jackass ! My dim-witted duffer ! You say you feel awful? Well dawgonya-SUFFER!

Joe was feeling lousy and finally talked himself into going to a doctor for a check-up. On the way he stopped at a tavern to fortify himself for the ordeal.

After all sorts of tests, he waited in the outer office until the Doc finally came out, and Joe asked eagerly.

"What does the report show, Doc?"

"According to the analysis," answered the medico, "there is every indication that a small percentage of blood is getting into your alcohol system."

November Housing Srqrrs-8O,OOO

Nonfarm housing starts declined less than seasonally in November 1953 to 80,000, according to preliminary estimates of the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The November decline was in privately owned housing, and reflected some decrease in activity in all sections of the country except the pacific States, where vol_ ume held the same as in October. Included in the November total were 1,600 new units begun by public housing authorities.

Although starts of privately owned housing were down by almost 11 per cent last month, the decline was less than usual for November; in each of the 3 previous years (195052) the October-November drop amounted to around lg per cent. On a seasonally adjusted basis, private starts this November were at an annual rate of 1,069,000-the highest rate since April.

The million mark for new drvelling-unit starts in 1953 u'as reached in November, with 1,031,300 new nonfarm dwelling units begun during the first 11 months, compared rvith 1,055,500 for the same months in 1952, and 1,030,500 for the like 1951 period. The downward drift in private housing starts which began last May has been gradual, so that the total thus far in 1953 (997,IW units) was almost equal to private volume for the same period of 1952-the second best housing year on record. publicly owned housing, totaling 34,AO units, was down by more than a third from the January-November 1952 figure.

The great upsurge of Soutl-rern California building activity this year torvard an amazing new record is impressively indicated b1'official reports for the first 11 months of 1953.

In that time 73 of the localities in key Southland areas alone isstred $1,255,786,211 worth of building permits, or $1S4,167,809 more than their total for the similiar span in 1952.

November building-permit valuation aggregate for those mentioned 73 localities \s $94,758,701 almost neck and neck with their total for November 1952.

Los Angeles' building activity is well shorvn by the fact that tlre $402,193,752 worth of permits issued in this city in this year's first l1 months exceeded by $85,699,145 this city's total for th0 similar time last year.

Home building continues to supply a very great part of the building activity with, horvever, a large volume of other types of construction also spurred by requirements.

Of the 4447 permits, with $26,716,905 valuation, issued in Los Angeles last month, 1088 permits $11,803,757, rvere for single-family drvellings; 34 permits, $388,666, for duplex dwellings, ;rnd 102 permits, $4,2M,082, for apartment buildings.

Sofety qnd Workmen's Compensqtion lnsurctnce Rcltes

By M. M. Eisenbrey, Sofety Service Deporlment Stote Compensotion lnsuronce Fund, Son Froncisco

For the Colifornio

Compensatioti insurance costs can be reduced. Most experts on accident prevention agree that inclustrial accidents are the result of unsafe conditions and/or unsafe acts' By rvorking tou'ards the elimination of these two factors, an employer is adopting the only sure course towards reclucing his net cost of u'orkmen's compensation insurance'

The California Lttmllernten's Accident Prevention Association, con.tposed of lumber operators actively engaged in promoting accident prevention in their industry, in conjunction rvith the Forest Products Section of the California Inclustrial Safety Conference, is doing much to give real, practical meaning to this basic and fundamental concel>t of accident prevention. It is the opinion of this association that if more operators realized holt the cost of accidents directlv affected the p:ice they must pay for insurance, that awareness of this fact in itself 'rvould act as a further incentive to promote effective accident prevention in the industry.

The follou'ing is a brief outline of the mechanics of compensation insttrance rate making and several ways b1' u,hich the individual employer can reduce the cost of his insurance by applying effective and proven accident prevention techniques.

When the compulsory Workmen's Compensation Lau' rvas enacted in California in 1913, and continuing down to this day, it u'as the legislative intent that the cost of industrial injuries be considered part of tl-re cost o{ production. and that each industry pay the bill for its or'vn industrial deaths and injuries. In order to accomplish this the employers of Cali{ornia in all fields of endeavor have been divided into approximately 400 industry groups or "classifications." Once a year the State Insurance Commissioner

Lumbermen's

Accident Prevention Associotion

issues a set of rates applying to each of these classifications' This rate is known as the n.ranual or basic minimum rate and is based upon the actual accident cost of each industry reported durins the preceeding two-year period. It can be quickly seen. then, that as an industry as a u'hole reduces the cost of industrial accidents this has the effect of reducing the basic or manual rates for that industry.

The tabulation belo'iv indicates the trend in basic rates for the six major lumber classifications:

At this juncture an operator might rvell raise this cluestion, "These basic rates represent an average of all the members of our industry, good and bad alike; isn't there some way for me to get credit for my own accident Preventiorl u'orks ? The ans\\'er is "Yes," there are two very tangible r.vays that this may be done.

N'Ierit Rating Plans. Almost from the very beginning of rate making in California it rvas acknorvledged that the attitude tou'arcl safety and the cluality of supervision among ettrplol'ers rvould vary considerably. To provicle an incentive tolvards accident prevention and to prevent undue penalty being assessed against the careful employer because of the neglience of others, a rating plan rvas devised rvhich had the effect of varying the rates upr,r'ard or do'lvnrvard depending

M. Il/1. Eisenbrey

upon holv successful the individual employer had been in controlling' his accident costs. This plan is knolvn as the Experience Rating Plan.

Experience rating takes into consideration both the frequency and the severity of injury and compares the individual employer's accident costs over the past three-year period with the average for l-ris industry. The employer's rate is then modified by his ability and willingness to prevent accidents and is either rewarded or penalized depending upon the success of his efforts.

The second form of merit rating under which a California employer can to a degree control his own insurance cost is designed to measure the physical characteristics of manufacturing plants against established standards. This rating plan is the Industrial Compensation Rating Schedule or as it is commonly known, "Schedule Rating."

Schedule Rating consists of two basic parts:

(1) The degree to which accident hazards are removed or minimized through the installation of mechanical safeguards in accordance with the established standards.

(2) The extent to which safety education, plant inspection, and organized accident prevention programs are carried out with the aim of detecting and correcting unsafe acts and unsafe conditions before tl-re accident occurs.

Schedule Rating is concerned with minimizing "machine" hazards most prevalent in manufacturing operations in fixed locations, and credit and debit charges provided for by the plan apply only to certain designated classifications in the manual. For the six classes listed as common to the logging and lumbering industry, only Classifications 2883 (Box, Box Shook Lumber Manufacturing), 2731 (Planing Mill), and 27lO (Sawmills) are eligible for Schedule Rating. The Classifi'cations 8?32 (Lumber Yards-Commercial) and 8207 (Sawmills, Lumber Handling) can be brought under the plan for that portion of the credit obtained from conducting a safety organization after the operation has qualified for Schedule Rating under the other requirements of the plan.

Eligibility for the safety organization portion of the Schedule Rating Plan is based upon the number of employees (15 minimum) working under one or a combination of schedule ratable classifications at the same location. This portion of the Schedule Rating Plan is a very valuable tool in accident prevention. Certain minimum requirements include regular monthly meetings of established safety com-

mittees, regular periodic safety inspections of the entire operation and certain specified safety activities including safety bulletin boards and safety instructions to new employees. Regular written reports of the activity also are required.

{Jnder the l\{echanical Guarding Section of the Schedule Rating Plan, it is possible to receive a substantial rate reduction by providing required standard safeguards on the machines used in the plant to control the machine hazards of moving parts, drive mechanisms, and points of operations. It is difficult to state an average credit which may be earned under this section of the plan; but, if full advantage is taken of all possible safeguarding opportunities and an effective safety program is maintained, an employer can earn rate credits of l5/o to 3O/o.

In general, the Schedule Rating Plan encourages the operator to correct unsafe conditions by giving him immediate rate credit for the accident prevention work accomplished. A regular safety organization prog.ram encourages both the correction of unsafe conditions by its inspection service to find and correct hazards and the education of all employees to think and work safely.

Both schedule and experience rates are calculated from the data submitted by the insurance carriers to the California Inspection Rating Bureau, the official rate making agency for the Insurance Commissioner.

The misconception that the insurance company "pays the bill" for industrial accidents is one that lulls many operators into a haphazard attitude towards accident prevention. First of all as rve have pointed out here, it is the cost of these accidents which determines the rates for your insurance. Secondly, it is a well established fact that the direct insurance cost resulting from industrial accidents is only a very small part of the total loss when measured in terms of production loss, replacement and training of new personnel, and human misery.

Some operators realize all too late that it is they rvho pick up the tab for the cost of an accident that could have been prevented. Safety pays always in all ways. It is possible to obtain a two-way rate reduction on your compensation insurance by taking advantage of the provisions of these two merit rating plans by effective accident prevention work-Remove Unsafe Conditions-Control and Prevent the Unsafe Acts of Your Employees.

Calaveras Cement Con.rpany n'ill spencl a third of a million doilars cluring 1954 to increase the efficiency of its San Andreas, Calif., plant. The Company's board of directors has voted an expenditure of $328,000 for refinements in manufacturing and shipping processes. These are expected to streamline plant operations.and reduce operating costs. The plant has increased its capacity 200 per cent since the end of \\rorld War II.

H. C. "Pat" Maginn, .chairn.ran of the Calar.eras finance committee, told the board of directors that the improvement program "not only u'il1 lou'er production costs lrut rvill set a new high in service to contractors and dealers."

The improvement program calls for the addition oi a number of nerv lightn-eight bulk cement trains t<t the company's large transport fleet, a cclmplete changeover in sackloading equipment, modernization of materials handling facilities, and purchase of Nlulticlone equipr.nent to improve burning efficiency of the plant's four kilns. A new BucyrusF)rie rotary drill capable of drilling blast holes up to a foot in diameter will be addecl to qua:ry equipment, and a Caterpillar motor grader n'ill be placed in service for mairrtenance of company roads.

"Perhaps no man ir-r the industry was more widely known or had more friends in the lumber trade than Johnny Freeman," according to Philip T. Farnsworth, general manager of the association. "Johnny's enthusiasm was catching and his knowledge of the lumber business won him the respect of all who knew him. His passing is a great loss."

After receiving a B.S. degree in forestry at the University of California in 1927, he spent two years managing a lumber operation for the Meyer Muzall Company in a remote area in the Philippine Islands.

B. E. Abbotl Nqmed R.egionol Winner in Fir Plywood Industry's Soles Contest

Beryle E. Abbott of Fullerton, Calif., has been named top man among plywood salesmen calling upon retail lumber dealers in the three western states of California, Oregon, and Washington. Abbott, who travels for United States Plyrvood Co.'s warehouse in Los Angeles, won the distinction in the plywood industry's recent nation-rvide plyrn,ood sales contest.

During the 6o-day period of the .contest, Abbott chalked up total sales of more than 400,000 sq. ft. of plywood. This included sales of some kind to every one of the retail lumber dealers on his regular call list. His record gave him a first place regional prize of. $1,000.

Describing how he did it, Abbott empl,asizes service to the customer, saying:

"I don"t believe in high pressure methods. But I believe a salesman must be trustworthy over a period time. A good product, a good company and honesty dealing with people just about sums it up."

Abbott, who has been pointing toward selling since he vvas in high school, covers area from Brea and San Clemente, Calif., to Kingman, Ariz. During the 60-day period of the contest, Abbott traveled from 50 to 350 miles a day to call on his 121 lumber dealer accounts.

He has been with United States Plvwood Co. for about eight years.

Gompetition Spurs Wocd Reseorch qt Teco Lqb

Washington-Research for the lumber and wood using industries, conducted at the Teco laboratory, this year shorved a sharp incretrse over 1952, according to the annual report of Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association. New projects brought to the industry-owned laboratory tlris year resulted in a X per cent increase in both clientele and projects. Clients include manufacturers of lumber and wood products, railroads. r'ood ship builders, trade associations, government and military agencies, and manufacturers of finishes and 'r,vood-treating materials.

"Highly competitive nlarkets," said Carl A. Rishell, director of resear,ch, "are giving impetus to lumber and wood product research in all industries dealing with forest products and their derivatives. The trend is gaining momentunl as more and more manufacturers, preparing to meet this competition, seek improvement of their present products and development of new ones.

"Although much is being done in improving wood's characteristics and serviceability" he pointed out, "there is increasing emphasis on practical, economi,cal utilization of ivood residues left over from logging and product manufacture."

The past year's activities in various wood research projects at the Teco laboratory, as well as in engineered timber construction lvith Teco connectors, are cited in the company's 1953 annual report. Copies are available on request to Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W.. \\/ashington 6, D.C.
