Zay Smith of Chicago is among the top-ranking designers of modern structures for industrial and business use. As consulting architect of United Air Lines, he is responsible not only for design but for selection of materials in the numerous new airport buildings and uptown ticket offices United is providing for its patrons. One of the latest is at the Portland-Columbia Airport in Oregon. Following the most modern trend, which is away from the fad of grim geometrical forms of cold materials and toward use of the natural rvarmth of rvood for interiors of buildings that serve the public, Architect Smith chose Douglas fir paneling and Douglas fir beams for ceiling treatment in United's new Oregon home.

Other West Coast woods were also used, for highlights and shadings. The rvalls inside the ticket counter are

The walls of the hallu'ay to the rest rooms and the telephone booths are in tl-re rich shades of Western red cedar. The lobby furnitttre is also wooti, warm and inviting.

The warmth and hues of nature in these r,voods are preserved in natural finish. The ceiling beams are formed of laminated vertical grain Douglas fir clear timbers.

With the rising favor of leading architects for Douglas fir interior treatment and for the glued laminated arch of this material in small churches and auditoriums, retail lumber dealers are finding new outlets {or important business.

1940 Building Rated Best In Io Years

Washington, Jr.. S.-The Commerce Departmer-rt said that preliminary estimates indicated 194O building construction would total $9,925,000,000, an increase of. 2rl per cent over 1939 and the largest since 1930.

Secretary Jones said "private residential, commercial and factory building will all show substantial gains in 1941 if demand is not restricted by an increase in prices and costs."

The Minimum Cost Home is Rising Star More Speculative Building Next Few of Building, Survey Shows Years, Says Report

Month by month the trend in home-building shorvs the lorv-cost home of lumber rising in popular favor, according to recent Government reports. Emphasizing this fact, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board states that October. 194O, was the best single month in number of dwelling units since 1929, in all cities of 10,000 population or over.

"Other authoritative surveys show that the consistent increase in number of dwelling units this year has its major sour,ce in the small home of lumber," states C. W. Pinkerton, chairman of Southern California Elomes Foundation. "Families of moderate income are building rvhile the building is good-and it is still very good. Despite tremendous Defense requirements for building materials and labor, the home that cost $3,000 in October, 1939, would cost no more than $3,075 in October, 194O, on the basis of Government building cost indexes. Home financing costs, under the FHA plan, are much less in 1940 than in 1939, u'ith the interest base lowered from 5/o to 4%%."

Southern California Homes Foundation, keeping pace with the small-home trend, is presenting a series of minimum-cost home designs which were created to provide dwellings of modern plan and sound construction for families in defense industry areas.

Ralaxation of \(/age Hour Divisions Ruling on Processing or Planins Mill Operations Possible

C. W. Pinkerton, secretary of the Southern California Retail Lumbermen's Association, on January 2 received the following telegram from H. R. Northup, secretary of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, regarding the possibility of relaxation of the Wage Hour Divisions ruling on processing and planing mill operations:

"Relaxation of Wage Hour Divisions severe ruling on processing or planing mill operations possible. Please let us have first your recommendations as to extent to which this should be done, second your best judgment as to extent to which processing or millwork operations are conducted by the yards in your territory, what percentage of total business would be represented by this type activity and extent to which processing activities if any are conducted in segregated operations on premises, also average number employes each yard engaged this type work. Important we have this information not later tl-ran Tuesday morning, January seventh."

In reply to Mr. Northup's telegram Mr. Pinkerton u'rote him as follows:

"Regarding relaxation of Wage and Hour Division ruling. Your wire on this question on hand. In replying will say that it is almost impossible to give you definite figures. However, we will paint the picture'of this type of work as it is operated here in Southern California.

"The large yards in the metropolitan area operate a planing mill, usually as a se,parate department of their business, although it is located in their yard. Practically all of the smaller yards in the urban territories and districts operate some type of mill machinery. This, in practically all cases. is operated by their regular yard help and they do rvork only in remanufacturing and processing of material for their own customers' orders, doing no general milling business for the public whatsoever. The percentage of this business of the whole would be impossible to even make a shreu'd guess but the attitude of the Wage and Hour Department here has been any yard that was operating woodworking machines they automatically placed them under the jurisdiction of the Act. This is indeed one' of the halters the Government is placing around the neck of the lumber industry and any relaxation would naturally be appreciated by the dealers.

"According to our records there are none of the retail dealers in the metropolitan area that does manufacturing and shipping in interstate commerce. The bulk of their work being the supplying and servicing of their own orders and that naturally would fall on the percentage of what their general sales were of retail We have no records available of the total number of yards operating any woodworking machinery. Neither do we have any record of the amount of business that that class of w'ork represents. \Me have endeavored to give you a picture of the general situation here in Southern California and hope that it may be of some benefit to you."
