The personal interest of executives like Mr. Steudel, and the systematic bond purchases of more than 8,000,000 enrolled Payroll Savers are reflected in the following figures:

o In March, 1954, purchases of U. S. Savings Bonds, Series E and H, by ind,iai.d,uals reached 9474 million, highest March figure in 9 years-a gain of 20/o over March, 1953.

e Purchases of E and H Bonds, by ind.iuid.uals during the first quarter oI 1954, totaled $1,380 million-the highest for any quarter since 1945.

o The cash aalue of Series E and H Bonds held by ind,ioid,uals at the end of March, 1954, was $37 billion, I?5 million-the highest in the thirteen year history of the Savings Bond program.

. Payroll Savers are serious savers: ovet 75Vo of the

amount of Series E Bonds that matured since May, 1951 -almost $9 billion-is still being held by individuals under the Treasury's 10 year optional automatic extension plan.

Flome Building Industry Predicts Biqqest Building Boom Still Ahead

By R. G. "Dick" Hvghes, presidenf Nofionof Assn. oJ Home Builders

ilies may now obtain long-term FHA-insured mortgages on terms comparable to those available for veterans-only 5/o down with a maximum mortgage insurance of $17,100.

$6 Billion Market in Remodeling

The home building industry is rounding out the second biggest year in its history and is getting set to mark up some new production records in 1955.

Present estimates indicate that the industry will have provided new housing for about 1,200,000 families of all income brackets during 1954, and the outlook is for construction of perhaps as many as 1,400,000 housing units in 1955, barring a major reversal of today's economic conditions. Such a construction pace would add some $14 billion to the real wealth of the nation and would make 1955 the biggest home building year on record.

Any forecast of home building activity, of course, depends to a great extent on the poli.cies of the federal government. But it is no secret that the government's present plans call for continuation of the same fiscal and credit policies that are now in effect, subject to such modifications as may become necessary in the months ahead. Those plans also envisage the full use of all the liberal provisions of the National Housing Act of 1954 to assure the country a continued high rate of home building.

Trail-Blazing Provisions in Act

The 1954 act contains many bold, trail-blazing provisions. It should enable government and industry to combine their efforts and to create completely new concepts in housingto open up vast new housing markets tha.t will give every American family the opportunity to live in a good, solid, livable and satisfactory home in a decent environment.

The low down-payments and long-term mortgages permitted under FHA sections of the act can make good housing available to a great many families never before reached by the home building industry. Hundreds of thousands of non-veterans rvill be able to buy new homes on terms they can afford. Prior to enactment of this legislation, their required down payments would buy only half the house they needed and wanted, and are now in a position to buy.

Servicemen on active duty make up another market that has been expanded by the new housing law. Service fam-

In addition to the new housing market, there is a great and large untapped demand for rehabilitation and maintenance of our existing housing inventory, which could run anywhere from $6 billion annually on a conservative estimate. For the first time in history, FHA insurance is now available for mortgages on dwellings that in the past have been treated as uninsurable slums or blighted parts of the community. Financing aids for such mortgages hereafter lvill be available through special assistance functions of the Federal National Mortgage Association. There are obstacles that must be overcome, but these programs promise bright future for the renewal and rehabilitation of dying areas of our cities.

There are tools in the new housing law, too, that will enable the home building industry to do a real job in modernizing and bringing back into new condition the vast number of existing homes which, while not slums, are in need of major oVerhauling. For example, both the FHA and VA are now able to put into effect open-end mortgages under which \ome owners as well as new home buyers may obtain long-term financing for the improvements, modernization or repairs needed to maintain their homes in the best possible condition.

Federal Aids for Minority Housing

One of the major problems (and opportunities) facing the home building industry in 1955 is the provision of good housing for minorities. Naturally, this problem is more acute in some areas than in others. But it is generally a fact throughout the country that builders long have been ready to build the new housing needed by minorities. They have been unable, however, to obtain the financing needed to accomplish this objective.

We now have two major federal aids which I believe can help solve this problem. In the first place, the voluntary credit committee created by the new law can channel private funds into areas for minority housing. In the second place, the special assistance functions of FNMA can be used to buy mortgages on minoritv housing. Once this financing roadblock is surmounted, the big remaining problem will be acquisition of building sites. This problem can and will be solved. And its solution will open up a vast untapped market for new homes-a market which has been too long neglected and for which all of private industry has a social responsibility.

Another serious problem confronting the housing industry is that of obtaining adequate community facilities. If we are to provide the huge number of homes that will be

BY JACK DIONNE

When he was campaigning for President two years ago, Mr. Eisenhower declared that "a liberal is a man in Washington who wants to play the Almighty with our money."

*{<{.

Which brings me to the point of wondering who it was that made the fateful decision that the United States should relieve the Almighty of His duties, and assume control of the world; who appointed a bunch of ordinary humans to play God?

**r.

Word comes from Washington that the Russians are softening up in their attitude toward us. When they shoot down Americans now, they don't talk near as rough about it as they used to. That really is improving, isn't it?

***

The fate of the 13 Americans recently condemned as spies by the,red-handed Chows fills all the prints. General Mark Clark says that isn't 2 percent of the Americans they took and kept. Walter Winchell broadcast that there were thousands. And Bill Cunningham, forceful Boston editor, sears American souls with this question: "What do those boys think of US ?" ***

Rev. J. W. Fifield, famous Los Angeles minister and philosopher, who has looked Europe over in person this past year, told the Los Angeles Lion's Club of 300 men: "A threat to the future exists in instrumentalities that have lost the spirit of the free men who were our founding fathers. This applies to such instrumentalities of world government as the United Nations, the infuence of which, in my judgment, is anti-Christian and evil." *<tt6

A New Year's rhyme:

Mary had a little lime, And likewise lots of gin, ' And then when New Year's day came round, She didn't know where she'd been_ ***

Jackie Gleason said on his TV show that if Truman had played golf instead of the piano, he might have been president yet.

tt,<

Now Truman announces that lke's foreign policy is that which Truman created. I knew I didn't like our foreign ecoromics, and now I know why.

And when Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, was asked by U.S. News & World Report in its Nov. 26^ 1954, issue if he thought a lot of the unpopularity of the United Nations in the United States was due to the bad odor of one of its satellites, UNESCO, he said it undoubtedly was. He was asked what he knew about UNESCO. He replied that its original idea was good. That was all he would say about it, except that we, who put up most of the money that runs it, have no authority whatever over the thing. and that he does not admire UNESCO. When loyalty risks show up in UNESCO. thev stay on the job, and take our money. We can do nothing about it. t{<*

Thev asked him whether we should try and throw Russia out of United Nations, and he said that from the standpoint of logic they should be kicked out, but he thought there was more advantage in having them in. He thought we

should stay in the UN. He realizes that UN is tremendously unpopular in the United tj"."j today.

I move we give three loud and rousing cheers for dear old England. She may be somewhat torn and tattered after the events of recent years, but at least she's decent, and trying to stay that way. Comes the news that the Lord Chamberlain's office has refused to let a certain American stage play be shown in England. The play is headed by a British actress. In this country, we are told, it has played to standing room only wherever it has been shown. It is a dirty tale of bawdry and moral degeneracy that could well have been dreamed up by a drunken reporter with a touch of D.T.'s. ft is an excellent example, with its enthusiastic audiences, of what the American public will go for. It is but one of innumerable fingers that point to the moral degeneration and mental decay of a large segment of our people. You sometimes wonder if the American people have suddenly dived into intellectual dbtage; are becoming mentally and morally emasculated; a lot of them at any rate.

The name change will apply to Simpson's operations at Klamath and Arcata, and the Redwood sales organization headed by E. G. "Dave" Davis, Redwood sales manager, at San Francisco. Simpson Redwood Company has sales representatives in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Dallas.

"This change is made to more closely identify the familiar name of Simpson with Redwood, our principal product in Northern California. It is part of Simpson's over-all program to bring our plants closer to our customers and to better serve their needs," Lawson said. "No changes in the company's management or personnel are involved."

the Orange County Lumber Co. Remodel and Ride Herd on Mlltion-a-Year Business

Showing a phenomenal gror,vth since it rvas actluired by four former Barr Lumber Company executives in 19'18, the Orange County Lumber Company, Santa Ana. California, recently remodeled its display room, constlltation office and general offices at a cost of over $20.000, according to Lott Adolphsen, president of the concern.

Early in 1948 the "Four Horsemen," headed by Adolphsen and including Phil Norton, r,ice-president; Les I'earson, secretary, and George Preble, treasurer, purchased the fiveacre lun.rberyard from the Liggett Lumber Company. All four men together had served o\rer a total of three quarters of a century rvith the Barr organization. In 1949 this group purchased the Barr yard in the city of Orange and have developed the do-it-yourself and rural business far exceeding all expectations.

In this modern Orange county lumber plant, a complete mill of eight units is maintained. Five trucks and additional mobile yard units are constantly in operation and over a million feet of rough and finished lumber is on hand in the revolving inventory.

A complete line of builders' hardware, tools and machinery is stocked. Paint, plaster, shingles, roofing, sash and doors, nails, plywoods and wall surfacings are all on display in conveniently located rvarehouses and display rooms.

When a prospective builder consults the Orange County Lumber Company, he has arrived at the "one-stop" organization. Plans for his project are drawn and completed at the plan desk, all financing is arranged and the material starts to flow for the foundation right through to the electric wiring, plumbing, u'all surfacing and roof-

Second, jobber stocks are very Iow, due largely to the long strike last summer. Plants must have 60 to 90 days to ship on new orders.

Third, we foresee another boom construction year in 1955 with over 1,200,000 housing starts. And nore and more plywood goes into every house.

fn view of these circunstances, I highly reconmend that you place your or:ders nov/ for your spring fir pJ-ywood needs. This year, if you delay ordering, I'n afraid you will Lose business two or three months hence because you don't have plywood.

As a matter of fact it would be wise, in my opinion, to stock 5O/" to 100/o nore flr plywood this spring than you normally do.

This is especially true in 1955...the 50th anniversary of fir plywood. You will see the greatest fir plywood consuner advertising progran ever in this Golden Jubilee Year to bring nore buyers i-nto our yards.

As always, these sales-building plywood campaigns will tell consumers and contractors over and over: "See Your Lumber Dealer!tt

The colored woman from the South had gone North with her "white folks" to nurse their small children in their summer home, and when Sunday came around she headed for the nearest church, went in, and was promptly seated by an usher. It was a stiff-backed church, and the congregation were inclined to be highbrow theologians. But she knew nothing of this. It was just "chu'ch" to her.

The preacher started the delivery of a very powerful sermon, and when he warmed to his work this woman from Mississippi forgot she wasn't back home. Suddenly the congregation looked in shocked surprise when they heard

CONSTRUCTION AWAR.DS THROUGH NOVE'NBER BEAT ENTIRE YEAR 1953

The year 1954 had already set a new all-time record for construction contract awards, Thomas S. Holden, vicechairman of F. W. Dodge Corporation, announced last month from the Dodge Los Angeles office. November building and engineering contracts in the 32 eastern states. as compiled f rom Dodge Reports, brought the eleven_ month total for 1954 to $17,941,320,000, more than the figure for the entire year 1953.

November awards totalled 91,499,950,000, the highest November total in Dodge's 63-year history and nearly 8o/o ahead of November 1953. The figure for eleven months of 1954 was llo/o ahead of the corresponding eleven-month period of 1953.

Residential building showed by far the greatest gain, 28/o ahead of 1953 for the eleven-month period.

When Art Twohy finished high school back in Ior,va, hc went to work in the master mechanic's office of the Illinois Central R. R. and thought he was going to be a railroad man. Instead he's been fifty years a lumberman, and 44 of them in Los Angeles selling lumber to the yards.

After a year of railroad work, young Trvohy had a chance to take a position in the lumber business in San Francisco at the western lumber purchasing office in the Rialto Building of Carr, Adams & Collier of Dubuque, Iowa (then Carr, Ryder & Adams). It didn't take him long to drop the idea of learning the railroad business.

San Francisco, in those days be{ore "the Fire," was something out of this world to a l9-year-old from the middlewest: trans-Pacific shipping, the Navy' ships anchored at the foot of N{arket street, the Bay ferries, all the cable carseven on Market street.

Il. A. Blocklinger rvas in charge of the office. Herb Crawforcl, later general manager at Scotia, was also in the office. A year later, Twohy went to Scotia with Crarvford and they started to vl'ork for the Pacific Lumber Company. Our boy Art worked in the mill, 60 hours a rveek, at 2O cents an hour. After a year of that, he got a promotion to the office, where he stayed four years.

Rollie Pitcher, rn'hom a lot of you oldtimers will remember later as a salesman for E. K. Wood in I-os Angeles, was also in the office. Trvohy finally became assistant superintendent of manufacture and shipping. There \\'as no overland railroad at that time and the companv shipoed al'l its lumber from Fields Landing by vessel. The Pacific owned the Prentiss, Aberdeen and Dispatch: later they had built the Temple E. Dorr and William H. Nfurphy. Twohy served for a while as quartermaster on the ships running to San Francisco.

In 1910 he u'as transferred to the sales department at Los Angeles. C. W. Penoyer, who had succeeded Selwyn Eddy as president of the company, made his headquarters there in the Hellman Building. They built the big drying y'ard and planing mill at Wilmington, just west of ivhere Consolidated Lumber Company is today. The lumber yard, shed and planing mill was all handled by an overhead monorail svstem: there were no allevs. trucks. etc.

Junius Brorn'ne was hired to run the Los Angeles sales ofifice and Penoyer moved to San Francisco. The Los Angeles office u'as moved later that year to the Central Building, i08 West 6th St., and Twohy started out on the road calling on retail yards with Redwood in car lots to be shipped out of the big yard at Wilmington' His travels were by streetcar and railroads, with the help of a stout pair of legs. It was interesting work and Art Twohy made friends in the lumber business who are still friends after 44 years.

In 1911, the company bought him a four-cylinder car called the Everitt to get around in. Trvohy was the first lumber salesman in Los Angeles to drive a company car. Auto traffic wasn't a problem then . the main troubles u,ere dirt roads, bumpy oiled streets, multitudes of horsedrawn wagons crawling along, no gasoline stations, terrible tires, acetylene headlights, and mud-mud-MuD !

In 1914 he started in for himself and has kept at it ever since. In those days everything-Douglas Fir, Redwood, etc.-came in by boat. Twohy took over the Albion Lumber Company as one of his accounts. They had a Redwood mill on the coast belorv Fort Bragg and at times he had three vessels to look after.

Tu'ohy has consistently stayed in the Los Angeles wholesale lumber business all these years. He has had his office for 27 years in the Petroleum Building, 714 W. Olympic Blvd. At present he represents Edrvard Hines Lumber Company's sawmill at Westfir, Oregon, and J. F. Sharp I-umber Co.. Yreka. California.

One of Twohy's sidelines for which he is well knorvn is selling lumberyards and sawmills in both California and Oregon, l,here he is a licensed broker. He also founded the Horseless Carriage Club and was its first president. The club has 4500 members all over the world. lIe owns a dozen antique cars, among them a 7902 one-cylinder Pierce Arrow, 1905 Buick and 1906 White Steamer.

Art and his boyhood sweetheart, Doris Richardson of Dubuque, u'ere married in 1912. Their daughter Beverly of Van Nuys has two children and their son Dick of Palos Verdes Estates, with his ou'n engineering business, is also the father of two.

Red Cedor Shingle Burequ Convention Hecrrs of Psychologicql Reseqrch in Forest lndustries

A growing desire by Americans for more individuality provides a great opportunity for the home building industry and particularly f or manufacturers of materials having warmth and personality, such as Red Cedar shingles and shakes. This was the message presented by Dr. Ernest Dichter, president of The Institute for Research in Mass I\Iotivations, speaking before the 38th annual convention of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau in Seattle, December 3.

"The consumer wants to feel that what he has purchased is individual, personal and something to be proud of," Dr. Dichter said.

"This is the source of the 'do it yourself' trend, which is not just a fad but the beginning of a clear expression of this desire for individuality.

"We see the same desire expressing itself in the increasing demand for individuality in house construction, whether the builder is engagecl in a single dwelling or a huge development."

Dr. Dichter, who pioneered the use of psychological research in marketing and advertising, was reporting to the assembled members of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau some of the ramifications of a study which his Institute recently completed for the shingle producing group, believed to be the first psychological research study undertaken in the forest industries.

"What we are facing," Dichter said, "is that Americans rvill not just be satisfied with a pushbutton, Buck Rogers world. They want more than that from the great industrial machine they have built. They want warmth, naturalness, beauty, and the feeling of personal identification. They expect their civilization to produce not just a multitude of things but a general feeling of belongingness-and at a price which everyone can afford.

"Where do red cedar shingles fit into this picture ?" he continued. "Well, we know from our studies that everv-

one loves Red Cedar wood. It creates the feeling o{ warmth and naturalness that Americans crave-it has individuality. People feel they want it. What is the obstacle? We must combine these important emotional appeals with still one other. The consumer must be convinced that it is also fractical.

"He must be convinced that, because he is building for his own future, if there is a slight additional cost involved in using Red Cedar Shingles, it is well worth it. It will help him attain his individuality and thus fulfill a basic emotional need. When we have conveyed to him that Red Cedar Shingles are practical in this sense, we will be assured an ever increasing market for red cedar shingles and shakes."

The meeting was attended by shingle manufacturers from Washirtgton, Oregon and British Columbia. Elected president of the Bureau for 1955 was H. V. Whittall, well-known Vancouver, B.C., shingle producer. He suc,ceeds Earl S. Wasser, Portland, Oregon. The new Bureau vice-president is R. D. Mackie, Aberdeen, Washington. Re-elected Bureau secretary-manager was Virgil G. Peterson, Seattle.

Expect 1955 Housing Storts fo Top |,3OO,OOO

Washington, D.C.-Supporting Administration plans, a joint report by the Commerce and Labor departments predicts that 1955's housing starts should reach 1,300,000, of which all but about 30-35,000 will be private housing. Total new construction in 1955 is expected to reach $39.5 billion, an increase of 7/' over 1954. The report holds out the prospect of a l3/o increase in home building, which is expected to be responsible for the largest single increase in private construction volume, or approximately $15 billion, which is 55/. of the expected $27.4 billion of total private construction. The government's report is based on the assumptions that the economy will remain stable, that building costs .rr'ill stay about the same, and that consumer income will mair,tain its record levels.

Los Angeles County Building Expected fo Top Billion Mork

The year 1954 was expected to top the booming billiondoilar mark for the third time in Los Angeles county's history and perhaps set a new high in construction. The county's building permits totaled $928,269,425 from Jannary 1 to November 1, an increase ol $2,249,327 over the same period in 1953, the year in which the high of $1,040,000,000 was established, Quentin W. Best, chairman of the Construction Industries Committee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, said recently.

G. E. Morris, city building superintendent, revealed that during November permits were issued for $36,607,722 irLos Angeles city and county, nearly $6 million greater than October, and $10 million more than November 1953. The city's total for the year to date, however, was below 1953.

Do-lt-lourself Show

In its continuing effort to bring the consumer and retail lumber merchant closer together, the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California \,vas an exhibitor in the recent 10-day Do-It-Yourself Show held in Oakland, California, November 1l-21. Jack F. Pomeroy, the association's executive vice-president, says the paid adult attendance of

over 100,000 certainly points up the importance of the doit-yourself market to the retail lumber dealer.

A dispiay of 52 domestic and foreign woods was featured in the association booth and free literature giving building ideas, suggestions and advice rvas distributed along with the LMANC's booklet, "So You're Going to Build," which aims at sholving the eventual consumer that to insure the quality and quantity of materials they pay for and for all around dependability and service, that their "best buy" is from their local dealer. Other literature distributed .r,vas donated by the West Coast Lumbermens Association, \\restern Pine Association, California Redrvood Association and Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association.

I'hil N{cCoy, president of the Western Pine Supply Company, who r.r'orked in close cooperation rvith the association, supplied a tabulation shou'ing that 4,653 people, not including cluplicates, representing 128 cities registered for the nrerchandise drarving in their booth. Only 37/o indicated knou'ing the name of a local retail lumber dealer. Discounting the metropolitan areas n'here apartment dwellers and transients lvould distort the picture, the statistics shorv that even in the rural and smaller areas only 46/o indicated knon'ing a lumberyard by name.

These figures rvere further 'borne out by Pomeroy's assistant, Don Wilson, u,ho manned the association booth. He rvas on hand to ans\\,er questions regarding construction materials, plans, etc., and in his conversations .rvith the public he u'as surprised to learn how many home owners dicl not knot' tl-re names of dealers in their areas.

More Aggressive Advertising Needed

This u'ould seem to indicate that in many areas a more aggressive advertising and public relations program by lumber dealers is in order.

\Vilson made other observations rvhich should be of interest to dealers lvho rvish to develop or improve their consunler sales. They are as follows :

Ross Yord Pqces Scrn Jooquin volley's Growth

llan{ord, California, isn't in the west's fastest-gror,ving area. Nor is it industry's bedroom, transportation's hub or any of a hundred other chamber of commerce expressions. You walk down Hanford's shaded Douty street in this warm-hearted San Joaquin Valley town (population 11,000) in Kings county and see tanned, relaxed faces always ready u'ith a passing smile. As you turn on to 7th street (the town's main street), you notice new businesses, new store fronts, but not the hectic bustle and pressure of her tractsurrounded, throbbing neighbors.

Steve Ross likes it this way. So did his father and grandfather. And that's rvhy the three of them, in succession, have had the time of their lives running Hanford's Central Lumber Company, the first and only independent builders' supply outfit in tor,vn, reports "This Earth," Oakland, California, magazine of the Henry J. Kaiser enterprises.

This is just the way Ross likes it progress, but with plenty of time left over for pack trips into the nearby Sierra Nevadas, and long weekends at his mountain-surrounded Shaver Lake cabin with his family.

Steve Ross, together with his paternal predecessors, has probably put as much into Hanford's sturdy development as anybody in town. Ever since his grandfather, John Ross, sold his first lumber and cement in 1896 (five years before the town was organized), Central Lumber's materials have been piling and pouring into Hanford, Lemore and nearby areas. Fifteen schools in the area, a like number of cotton gins, a 100-unit cotton camp, five grain elevators, the Hanford Elks club, National Guard armory, sewer fnlm-sysn the city's curbs-had their origins in the lumberyard's hoppers, lumber piles and oak-paneled office.

With his 22 helpers, Ross has supplied a sizable hunk

of Hanford's ($1 million a year) growth. He's also been supplying builders with Permanente cement since 1945. And with Kings county producing farm products like cotton, hay, grapes, livestock, apricots and peaches at the rate of $72,000,000 and upwards annually, a lot of Central Lumber Company's business comes from the farmers. Ross's average delivery run, in fact, is 12 miles out into the valley.

And, like Hanford itself, there are signs of progress around the lumberyard: a new 7,600-square foot hardware store just a block ofi 7th, a new warehouse in back of the main building, and a thriving ready-mix plant across the street, next to the Southern Pacific tracks.

Redwood Wqter Mqins Give Woy

Costa Mesa, Calif.-One of the Southland's oldest type of domestic water systems, a network of mains made of Redwood staves held together with steel bands, will give way to a $300,000 modernization here. The old wooden pipes, installed in 1919, are still in good condition and serve 700 Costa Mesa homes. Picture a l}-inch wooden barrel about two miles long, ,carrying water beneath the surface, and you get an idea of what the mains are like.

John Soner, Jr. fo Philippines

A. J. "Gus" Russell, Santa Fe Lumber Company, announces that John Saner has taken a temporary leave of absence from Santa Fe effective January 1. Saner has for many years been interested in a cocoanut plantation in the Philippine Islands, and has taken the leave of absence to visit his interests there. He will be accompanied on the trip by his wife and they plan to be back in San Francisco sometirne during spring of 1955.

AMERICA'S DEMAND FOR WOOD 1929 - r97s

Sumrnary of a refort by Stanford Research Institute, Stanford, Calif., to Weyerhaeuser Tbnber Company, Tacoma, Iilash., 1954.

Pofi Vll Plywood ond Veneer

Supply and utilization prospects indicate the price of softwood plywood ar-rd veneer will probably rise in relation to the price of competing materials, but not as rapidly as hardwood products. It is expected the price rise r,vill be relatively less than for lumber.

In the softwood plyrvood industry, the substitution of otl-rer materials for face veneer is likely to rviden the log quality acceptable to the industry. Further improvements in patching techniques and expanded use of species other than Douglas {ir will also help to broaden the supply base.

In the hardwood plywood and hardwood face veneer industries, present costs are at such a level that imports of comparable quality can be sold for less than domestic production, and considerable markets have been lost to imports during the last two years. No great change is expected in the price of utility grades of hardrvood plyr,vood compared with competing materials, but hardrvood plywood output is expected to meet more competition from softwood plywood and hardboard.

Largely as a result of using low-grade veneers in shipping containers, both softwood and hardn'ood container veneer are expected to maintain present price relationships with competing materials.

To sum up this revie'iv of supply and price prospects for the major forest products, the follorving price shifts relative to competing materials are expected:

I. Although lumber prices will probably rise more rapidly than the prices of competing materials, the relative increase is expected to be smaller in the 1952-75 period than it was between 1929 and 1952.

2. Pulp prices are expected to remain approximately the same in relation to prices of competing materials as formerly.

3. Hardboard and insulating board prices are expected to be slightly lower in the future in relation to prices of competing materials.

4. Plyrvood prices are expected to increase slightly in relation to prices of competing materials, but not as much as lumber prices.

The Demand for Plywood, Veneer and Building Board

Demand for veneers and ply'ivood is chieflv from the construction and shipping containers industries, rvith the remainder going into a .ivide variety of manufactured products. Ab<-rut two-thirds of the veneer is used to manufacture plyrvood, of rvhich al>out 50c/o is used in residential and non-residential construction of all types.

Demand for Plywood in Construction

The use of plyr,vood (primarily softrvood plywood) in neu, residential building can be snmmarized as follows:

(Milltons of Square Feet) Cetllngs Mtllwork, and Accesmy In- Butldtngs

These estimates were derived in the same way as the lumber estimates in the section on lumber demand.

The growth in residential use of plywood rvas aided by tlre development in 1934 of exterior-grade plyr,vood for exterior walls. It has since found great popularity among builders of prefabricated houses. At present, about 4O/o of the plyrvood used in new residential construction is for roof sheathing, about 25/o for sheathing and facing of exterior walls and about l8/o for floor underlay. The use of plywood in roof sheathing has increased rapidly in the past few years, and this material now represents about a quarter of the roof sheathing market.

NEW PRODUCTS, NEW APPIICATIONS, new the Douglos Gr plywood indurtry goes into uses for plywood ore developed or ir3 "Golden Jubilee" ycor.

THE DOUGTAS FIR PIYWOOD ASSOCIATION is conslontly mindful of plywood's morkels; seeking new woys to boosl deoler soles ond demqnd.

Almost all the use of plywood in exterior walls is for sheathing, with a minor quantity being used as facing, generally in prefabricated houses. Plywood has increased from about 8/o to about 3O/o of the residential wall sheathing market in the past felr' years. Increasing competition from insulating board is expected to retard plyrvood in capturing the exterior wall sheathing market.

The heavy demand for plyr,vood as an underlay material for linoleum and tiles in residential construction is expected to increase at a less rapid rate in the future because the greater use of slab-type construction reduces the need for underlayment. Betrveen 1940 and 1953 plyrvood raised its share of the subflooring market from 8/o to about 25/o, mainly because of more rapid installation than lumber. Plyu'ood also provides a smooth, firm surface ideal for linoleum or tile. Technological improvements in hardboard, however, are also expected to reduce the rate of consumption of plvwood in subflooring.

Plywood consumption in nonresidential construction has also increased at a rapid rate. In 1951, a reported 148 million square feet of plyu.ood 'ivere used, including about 11 million square feet for farm service buildings. A considerable quantitv of hardrvood plywood is also used in nonresidential building for interior panelling.

The most important requirement for plywood in nonresidential construction is for use in concrete forms to provide large, smooth finished surfaces, so finishing time can be reduced. It is estimated that, of all plywood used in non-

farm nonresidential construction, about 83% is for forms, about 72/o for cabinets and tritn, about 3/o for interior wall panelling, and the remaining 2/o for miscellaneous purposes.

Plywood for concrete forms faces competition from steel and hardboard, but it is expected that plastic facing on plywood and other product improvements will tend to keep plywood a strong contender.

Plyrvood for maintenance and repair norv exceeds 15/o of the total plyl.ood supply, and it is likely that this market rvill expand considerably through the do-it-yourself trend.

Demand for Plywood and Veneer in Shipping Containers

Veneer in shipping containers is used for baskets and hampers, wirebound boxes, and plywood containers. The latter represent about a fourth of the veneer consumption in containers. Veneer is preferred for shipping fruits and vegetables because of its strength and light weight, which cuts shipping costs.

Competition from paperboard, which has been moving rapidly into the produce container market in the past few years, is expected to be met successfully by the introduction of the kraft-veneer container. This container offers strength in the presence of moisture not equalled by paperboard.

With the expectation that veneer and plywood containers will maintain their market position through 1975 (as pcr (Please turn to Page 38)

So that the customers may see the actual application of the materials to be used, sections of the display rooms and offices are completed in various species of hardr,voods and softwoods. Panels and u,all surfacing are attractively arranged for inspection and every item is clearly marked as to the job it rvill do in the process of building.

Starting out seven years ago on a very small scale, the Orange County Lumber Company has grown steadily. This firm norv enjoys a volume of business in excess of a million dollars annually and expects to double that figure rvhen the firm reaches its tenth birthday.

"We belie'i'e our locations in Orange county have been a great factor in our progress, but rve also believe that our application to business, stocking the materials in demand, and seeing that paranrount service is given to each and every custoner, have contributed to our growth. There is no order too big or no order too small for the employes of our company to handle," declared Adolphsen.

ttThnlts My Homett

"That's my home !'

Consider the world of affection and emotion which plays around that expression !

That man is no radical, no Commie, no insurrecto, no red flaming radical !

That man will be a sober and substantial citizen. He will weigh all questions carefully from the focus of that home. He will strike deep roots into the soil, and it will take a cyclone or a volcanic eruption to tear him out!

"That's my home !" * * *

The man who says that will speak no menace consciously; he is ready to stand on that threshold and pay with the last drop of his blood for the possession of those few feet of ground and all that they contain.

"That's my home !" * * *

There is pride, self-respect, the upheld head and the firm step in that word. There is solidity and stability. There is the rock-ribbed strength that makes a nation great.

Let invaders beware of a people whose cry is-"That's my home."

Let corrupting internal influences be careful how they assail a fabric made up of home owners.

Let corrupt politicians and pettifogging demagogues beware of the day when the bulk of our American people will be able to say-"That's my home."

Men who own homes do not sleep when homes are en-

dangered. They are aroused tigers.

.,That,s my home !,, t' {' {'

Every young man starting out in life will do well to own the ground on which he sets his feet at night. He will go farther on the road to business success, and, what is still more important, he will become a finer, stronger, better man because of his home.

Consfruction Activiry Sets Record

New construction activity declined seasonally in November, but the $3.3 billion of work put in place set a new record for the month and was B/o above November a year ago, according to preliminary estimates prepared jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Labor. On a seasonally adjusted basis, outlays for new construction were at an annual rate of $38.1 billion, the highest levei ever reached.

Expenditures for privately financed construction r,vere at a new November high of $2.3 billion, with new home construction being maintained at an unprecedented rate for this time of year and with nonresidential building volume matching the peak monthly activity achieved in the third quarter.

During the first 11 months ol 1954, new construction outlays amounted to $34.1 billion, 5/o more than in the same 1953 oeriod.

Tremendous interest rvas shorvn by the public in tl-re "Do-It-Yourself" pattern display, hundreds rvanting to buy them at the booth.

Several complained about "mistreatment" in their few experiences with lumberyard employes who caused them embarrassment by exposing and dwelling on the customer's lac.k of knowledge concerning grades, lumber estimating and measurement conversion.

Unfortunately a few dealers and their employes have gir,en nany do-it-yourself customers the idea that lumberyards ir.r general "don't want to be bothered" n'ith their type of trade.

There were numerous inquiries :rs to rvhether there rvere uny lumberyards open evenings or Saturday afternoon, so rhat a man who lr'orked Saturdar. morning could get in to look at and purchase materials.

Some had a "sour" attitude tou.ard lumber people because of unhappy results using materials purchased at yards n here the clerks had not advised them correctly or at all.

An example was a couple who had purchased knotty pine last winter for installation in their kitchen. ft was sold to them as kiln dry and no one told them about the lumber absorbing moisture in the open sheds. Consequently, it was nailed in place the same day it was delivered and the resulting shrinkage has made it an unsightly finished job.

Some rvere annoyed u.ith the lumber industry because the yards that they had been to u,ouldn't let them go out to the yard r.vithout a sales tag. Their feeling tvas that not knor,r'ing lumber by species and grades, they rvanted to look and see before buying.

In other yards, where they were free to roam about, some expressed the desire that they wished the stocks or bins would show prices and description of the material so that they could make their choice and return to the office and describe what they had decided on without having to take the clerk out in the yard and point to it.

It was surprising as to the number of people n ho u'ere familiar rvith the literature furnished by the manufacturers and associations, having sent for it through magazine advertisements.

A number of educators expressed a u'ish for local cooperation from the lumber industry in conducting their shop, architectural and business courses.

While it is natural for the unsatisfiecl to express themselves more so than the satisfied customers, Don Wilson said it was gratifying to listen to many visitors praise their local dealers for their courteous service and their patience in helping them solve their problems, big and small.

WFCA Covers Much Ground In Sqn Frcrncisco Meeting

San Francisco-E,. R. Aston of Omak, Washington, was elected president of the Western Forestry & Conservation Association for 1955 at the 45th annual Western Forestry Conference. Other officers elected include first vice-presidents John R. Liersch, Vancouver, B.C.; Corydon Wagner, Tacoma, Wash.; E. P. Stamm, Portland, Ore.; George Neff, Bonner, Mont.; J. M. Brown, Jr., Sand Point, Idaho; Walter S. Johnson, San Francisco. Also elected were George S. Long, Jr., secretary, Tacoma, Wash.; C. S. Cowan, treasurer, Seattle, Wash.; Carl V. Hersey, assistant secretary-treasurer, Portland, and Stuart Moir, forest counsel, Portland.

Two industrial forestry leaders, George L. Drake and Clyde S. Martin, received engraved plaques. The alvard, made annually for outstanding ,contribution to forestry and conservation, went to Drake and Martin for their part in "many notable developments in western timber management." Drake, who once served as president of the WFCA, had recently retired from the Simpson Logging Company, Shelton, Wash. Martin, who recently was appointed as advisor to the Hoover Commission, retired last fall as forest counsel for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma, Wash. Both men are now consulting foresters at Tacoma.

Exclvsive Potented Conslruction permits quick removal. Springcushioned metal guides prevent sticking or rattling-insure a permanent year-round weather seal. Repeated checks find firct R.O.Ws functioning perfectly aftet 12 years of service.

Keynote speaker for the conference, which drew 500 professional foresters and industry leaders from the western United States and Canada, was Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay. The development of a sound water program for the West, he said, has the full backing of the Eisenhower administration, which considered the development of ivater resources so important that a cabinet committee on rvater resources policy will report its findings early this year.

California's Governor Goodwin J. Knight said cooperation was an important factor in the success of his state's forestry programs. He pointed out that California was the first state to establish a state forestry program, a program in .ivhich thousands n61a' participate. Two million acres of I privately ou'ned forests on which Tree Farms insure a "spring that never runs dry," he said, "help maintain California's standing as the second largest lumber producing state in the ljnion."

Speaking for the entire West, Stuart Moir, forest counsel for the conference, said the volume of timber cut from its forests has increased 40% in the past decade. This volume can be maintained, he assured delegates, if all private and public agencies cooperate to insure maximum forest yield.

An afternoon meeting of directors of Keep Green forest fire prevention programs in the western states u'as held in connection rvith the Forestry Conference. Keep Green publicity, along rvith favorable u,eather and vigilancebrought about a "sizable decrease in forest fires" in the \\resi in 1954. Compared to the year before, there were a little over half as many fires in the western states and British Columbia. At the same time, timber acreage destroyed by fires decreased a third.

Some 25 resolutions pertaining to timber manag'ement, fire and pest prevention, and urging access roads into fed-

eral timber areas were adopted by the conference during the closing sessions. Heading the Resolutions committee was Professor Emanuel Fritz, Berkeley, consulting forester' for the California Redwood Association.

reo s ed P rof its

The WFCA meetings were a climax of a series of early December forestry meetings in San Francisco and the Bay area. The California State Chamber of Commerce conducted meetings on natural resoures December 2 and 3, high school and college forestry educators met at the University of California school of forestry at Berkeley Dec. 3, the Northern California Section of the Society of American Foresters held a meeting for 300 members Dec. 4 in San Francisco' to discuss "Wood Utilization-Key to Good Management," and the State Board of Forestry met Dec. 6 at the State building in San Francisco. Other meetings were held Dec. 6 and 7 by the California Conservation Conference, the Western Forest Pest Committee and a special committee on aerial photography and map making.

Trustees elected at the conference include these industry leaders from California-R. A. Colgan, Jr., Shasta'Forests Co., Redding; E. B. Birmingham, Hammond Lumber Co., San Francisco, and Harold Crane, Crane Mills, Corning.

Orotory

For extended flights of oratory, for beautiful thoughts and phrase construction that delighted the ear and the mind, the famous agnostic, Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, soldier in the Federal Army during the Civil War, had no counterpart in American history. It is related that Abraham Lincoln once heard Ingersoll speak, and returning home said to his wife: "What a marvelous instrument is human speech, when played by a master."

Our children today ,."r1 "il tJo rt.t. of the great Americans who have put life and color into our history by the grandeur of their speech. Most of them have heard or read of the eloquent Patrick Henry and his immortal words"Give me liberty, or give me death"-his equally famous oration that ended-"If this be treason, make the most of it." But it should be remembered that Patrick Henry, in his famous debates, had no antagonist worthy of his steel, so far did he outclass his field. There were no other titans of logic and eloquence to thunder against him, or to attempt to confuse his golden tongue. ***

History tells of a series of debates that took place in the United States Senate at one time, with the great Daniel Webster and the powerful and dramatic Henry Clay on one side, and John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, often called "the master logician of his age," opposing them single,handed. An English journalist, sent over here to report those debates, wrote back to his paper in London: "History has no parallel. There has been nothing like it since the debates of Milton's angels." Yet few Americans today remember that it ever happened, or that such giants of intellect, with golden tongues attuned to their marvelous thinking machinery, ever graced this American soil, and filled our chambers of Congress with the marvels of their oratorical magic.

The three great orators of ancient history were, of course, outstanding: Pericles, Demosthenes, and Cicero, the first two Greeks, the third Roman. Demosthenes and Cicero were of the faming type of orators, the type which William

Jennings Bryan represented. Their eloquence rose in speed, and power, and rhythm as they pyramided. pericles was the ponderous type of orator. Something of his style may be gleaned from the fact that, before every public utterance, he prayed to the Gods that he might use no unnecessary word, and misuse no word. That was the school to which the late Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, belonged. As he became more dramatic, more enthused, more inspired by his own thoughts, he slowed down instead of speeding up, making every word carry its burden of power and of logic. He never "shot to scatter."

Bailey ended one of his speeches on Americanism, with these words, slowly, powerfully, every word driven in like a railroad spike: "I agree with Lincoln, that all the armies of Europe could never make a footprint in the Blue Ridge, or drink from the waters of the Ohio. But if this nation ever dies, it will die from within, and not from without: it will be suicide, and not murder. And I warn you, my friends, that if this nation ever dies, there will be no resurrection morn; there will be no guardian angel to roll away the rock from our sepulchre door; there will be no Easter morn for this republic."

Shokespeore's Birfhplace

It was visitors day at Stratford on Avon, the birthplace of the great William Shakespeare, and the guides were busy handling the callers, taking them all through the famous house, and explaining all the sights of interest. Two typical English chappies finally arrived, and a guide escorted them into the house, and began showing them about. One of them had dropped behind his friend and the guide, when those two entered the bedroom where the Bard of Avon was actually born.

"Right here," said the guide to the one who accompanied him, "right there in that corner by that window, in fact, William Shakespeare, the world's greatest poet, was born.,' The chappie showed great excitement at the news, and called loudly to his lagging friend, who came hurrying in to see what all the excitement was about.

"Think of it, Reggie old fellow," said the first one to enter, "this is where William Shakespeare was born. yes sir, right there in that corner by that window, he first saw light of day."

"My word, old deah," said the other, fixing his monocle and staring curiously around the room as though for something he expected to see, but did not. ,.Are you certain?',

"Oh, indeed, very certain !" said his friend. .,The guide here assures me that he was born right there by that window."

"f am very, very much surprised, old fellow,,' said his friend. "I always thought he was born in a manger."

Did you ever look over the recordb and note the many interesting happenings-and events -that occurred during the month of January????

Well-I'll list just a few things that did ta&e place during the past, in addition to the various Bowl Fobtball Games. For instance, the guy that made horsemen famous, Paul Revere, was born in January, Also Captain John Smith, Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, Daniel Webster, William McKinley and "F.D.R." General "Stonewall" Jackson and General Douglas MacArthur both saw the light of day during this first month of the year. Ilowever, the outstanding historical event for the Great State of California took place in January 18,18, when Gold was discovered and the "big rush" started for the Pacific Coast.

This is the time of year for resolutions-so we are going to resolve to look forwardnot backward. . . With this thought in mind we are going to expand our extensive mill contacts so that we will be in a position to furnish all the needs of our customers in an efficient manner. We will look toward the future and the stabilization of the lumber market with confidence. . So-"A Happy and Prosperous New Year to You All."

the projection of the total shipping container market in Section II of this report), it is estimated that consumption of veneer for their production will increase from 2.6 billion square feet in 1952 to 4.7 billionby 1975.

Demand for Plywood and Veneer in Manufactured Products

Plyrvood and veneer are used for wide surfaces of furniture or fixtures, u''ith plywood often providing u'orking surface for the appiication of the fancv facir-rg veneers. Plyrvood and veneer are used in such products as radio and television cabinets, dressers (fronts, sides, and tops), chairs, and tables. In the fixtures field, these products are used for counters, cabinets, and showcases; their availability in large panels has aided the growth of plvt'ood and veneer in the fixtures field.

Those sleek styled new cars for '55 which automakers are introducing to the public in all probability started with a piece of genuine "King of Cabinet Woods." The reason, says the Mahogany Association, is this: When complicated patterns have to be made, genuine mahogany is preferred.

Chicago

In the furniture segment, about four times as much hardwood veneer is used as softwood, and in the fixtures segment about twice as much softrvood veneer as hardwood. Among the most popular hardrvoods used as face veneers are gum, tupelo. birch, basswood, black l'r'alnut, yellow poplar, mahogany, and oak.

Based on the outlook for furniture and fixtures production discussed in Section II of this report, it is estimated that by 1975 about 2.25 billion square feet of plywood can be consumed by the furniture and fixtures industry.

Plynood and veneer are used in a multitude of manufacturecl products besides furniture. Some of the more im-

portant industries using plyr,vood and veneer are the housetrailer. motor vehicle, trunk and valise, ship and boat builditg, musical instrument, electrical equipment, aircraft, sporting goods, game and toy industries. It appears likely that plvrvood consumption in this miscellaneous group rvill keep ltace u'ith the output of these products ; therefore a consurllption of aborrt 750 n.rillion squa"re feet in 1975 appears reasonable.

Total Demand for Plywood and Veneer

Total veneer ltroduction is expectecl to increase from about 19.3 billion square feet in 1951 to about 3.1.5 billion square feet b1. 1975. Production of softrvood plyrvoocl in tlrat year is expectecl to total aboul 7.2 billion square feet (3/8-inch ecluir-alent) and production of hardrvood plyrvood about 2 billion square feet.

Members are urged to send in applications now for any men they may wish to sponsor s,ince only a limited number can be accommodated. Nearly half of the places available are now takcn up due to holdover applications from the previous term.

Young men of imagination, energ"y, ambition and ability will find unusual opportunities for advancement in the hartlwood lumber industry open to them through a five months' course of instruction in the McClure School. This vocational training school is operated on a below-cost basis as a part of the industry welfare program of the association for basic training in the inspection and classification of hardwood lurnber.

The demand for graduates of this school far exceeds the available supply, although the school assumes no responsibilitv for the placement of its graduates. At the close of the 13th term, July 14, 1954, opportunities offered were in excess of the number of graduates available for employment.

Registration opened on November l, 1954 for the 15th term, which will begin February 15 and end July 14, 1955. The capacity of the school is 50 students and applications should be sent in promptly.

los Angeles Lumber Yords in l9l0

There has been a big change in the lumber business in Los Angeles since 1910. Many of the larger companies had their offices in the downtown area then, 'ivhile their yards were in outlying places. In this preautomobile era. it was more convenient for customers, remembers Art Tn'ohy, r't'hose "Profile" is on Page 14.

L. W. Blinn Lumber Co. had main oflices in the Severance Bldg., 6th and Main, and a yard at 348 E. 3rd St. San Pedro Lumber Co. was across the street in the Pacific Electric Bldg. Southern California Lumber Co. (later merged with L. W. Blinn) was at 108 W. 6th. Consolidated was in the Cross Bldg., 6th and Spring. Patten & Davies were on Third Street, betrveen Main and Spring, later moving to the Van Nuys Bldg., 7th and Spring. E. K. Wood was at 4th and Spring, later moving to 6th and Spring and then 6th and Olive. Hammond Lumber Co. (at that time called the National Lumber Co.) was atz0th and Alameda.

Some of the outlying yards were at locations hard to believe today. The Pioneer Lumber Co. was on Hollyr,vood Blvd. where the Kress & Co. store now stands. Kengel had a yard at Vermont and Slauson Aves., rvhere Sears'big store is. Montgomery & Mullin rn'as at sth and San Pedro Sts. Lounsberry & Harris was at Santa Barbara and Vermont. Pico Heights Lumber Co. had a branch yard at Beverly Blvd. and Ardmore. The Kerckhoff-Cnzner Mill & Lumber Co. rvas for many years at 6th and Main Sts.

Americqns Poid 9O Billions For Toxes in | 954

The Tax Foundation, Nerv York City, announces that Americans paid a recorcl $90,551,000,000 in government taxes during the fiscal year 1954, in spite of cuts in Federal taxes. Stilt increases in state and locai taxes sent the total take to a ne\\' high, the Tax Foundation explained.

The combined tax take of ali government for the latest fiscal year rose from $89,968,000,000 in fiscal 1'ear 1953. Even though the total tax burden increased, the foundation said, population gains brought per capita tax receipts down frorn $578 in fiscal 1953 to $572 in the latest fiscal year.

Since 1946, it noted, state and local tax receipts have mcire than doubled to a total of $23,C00,000,000.

"The average American rvill pay $42.18 as his share of the interest on the Federal debt in fiscal 1955," the study stated. "The debt itserlf reached $271,300,000,000 as of June 30, 1954. The per capita debt was $1670.63."

The foundation said that the biggest tax problems still relate to the Federal government, u'hich gets three-fourths of all taxes paid by Americans.

Tl.ris stands in sharp contrast to pre-\\rorld \\/ar II days, u'hen the Federal government receivecl less than 40 cents of each tax dollar.

Lowrence-Philips lumber Co. Hits 25

On December 29, l9D, two young lumbermen of Los Angeles joined forces to create a new wholesale lumber concern bearing their own names. The Lawrence-Philips Lumber Company was the firm, and the two men were Ted Lawrence and Don Philips. They had for years been sales representatives in Los Angeles for the Hart-Wood Lumber Company, of San Francis,co, and when that concern closed out in Southern California on January 1, 1930, the two young men succeeded to the good will and business of their employer, and also took over their offices in the Petroleum Securities Building.

Ted Lawrence, one of the most popular personalities in lumber history in the Southland, died in 1941, and Don Philips continued the business, with offices now located at 420 N. Camden Drive in Beverly Hills. His three sons, Don, Tom and Lawrence, are all partners in the business r,r,'ith their father, the latter now being in the U. S. Army. frene Lawler Engleken, well knou'n to the lumber fraternity as just "Irene Lawler," was honored at Christmas time with a luncheon given by the firm. She worked for Ted Lawrence before Lawrence-Philips was organized and now has been 25 years with the company, and is one of the most popular personalities in the Philips group.
