How lrumber Lrooks

The Government started purchasing by means ol the auction system an estimated amount of 4OO,@0,000 feet of lumber at Seattle, Janaary 7. Purchases of lumber went at prices close to the ceiling prices on Fir.

At the same time purchases made in New Orleans and Richmond, Va., brought the total Government buying to an estimated 900,000,000 feet. This is probably the largest amount of lumber ever bought inside a single week in the world's history.

Western Pine manufacturers were asked to bid on 26,000,000 feet of lumber at San Francisco, January 5, but this auction was postponed.

At the Seattle opening there were in attendance 168 millmen and'rvholesalers, mainly from Washington and Oregon and some from California and Arizona. By the third day nearly 200 had registered.

The auction was conducted by representatives of the procurement section of the corps of engineers, United States Army, James F. Maloney and M. J. Hyman, civilian members and Capt. James C. Stowers.

Severe weather in Washington and Oregon has seriously affected production since the first of the year. Orders for West Coast Lumbermen's Association mills for the week ended January 3 exceeded production by about 5O per cent.

A surcharge of $4.98 per 100O feet will be assessed, effective January 15, in addition to the regular cargo rates on lumber from ports in the Pacific Northwest to California ports. This assessment is made to cover the cost of war risk insurance on vessel cost of life insurance and war bonus

of crew and insurance of crew's personal effects, also extra war risk insurance of crew under protection and indemnity insurance. All insurance rates are for 30 days only.

This makes the water rate from Portland to San Francisco $12.98 on rough lumber, and $13.48 to Los Angeles.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended January 3 reported orders as 136,974,ffiO feet, production 70,500,000 feet and shipments 112,809,000 feet.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended January 3, 81 mills reporting, gave orders as 73,916,00O feet, shipments 46,763,W feet, and production 35,15Q00O feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 300.691.000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended January 3, 104 mills reporting, gave orders as 28,619,000 feet, shipments 30,750,000 feet, and production 26,441,@O feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 110.846.000 feet.

Not as well known ", in"1rrilo.e to old Glory paid by that great American orator, Daniel Webster, (reprinted in the January first issue of this magazine) but nevertheless a very thrilling declaration in its own right, are the words once uttered by the late Senator Hoar: "I have seen the glories of art and architecture, and of river and mountain. I have seen the moon rise over Mt. Blanc. I have seen the sunset on the Jungfrau. But the fairest vision on which these eyes ever rested was the flag of my country in a foreign port. Beautiful as a fower to those who love it, terrible as a meteor to those who hate, it is the symbol of power, and glory and honor of one hundred millions of Americans."

Comparing conditions ,fuJ" nlt*n ,no." in effect during the First World \llfar, demonstrates principally the fact that this is an entirely new world, and this is an entirely different sort of war. While it has been truly said that "the past is

given us to build the future out of," it is nevertheless true that everything was so entirely different in 1917 from what it is today, that we gain very little useful knowledge by making comparisons.

Start right in with "";. i" lnt, *. folks at home got all of our war news from the daily papers. Today we have a much faster news service in our newspapers than we did then, but in addition we have the radio. Radio, you must remember, was in its earliest infancy in 1917. Today we sit in comfort and fsten thrillingly while some man thousands of miles away describes events hours-sometimes only minutes-old. To hear an American reporter describe in his own voice and words from far-off Singapore the exact events as he watches them, of the sinking of two mighty British battleships, was an indescribable, unforgettable, and sensational feeling even to the most blase radio enthusiast. That broadcast wrote the name of that reporter, Cecil Brown, inefraceably upon my memory lists. So, all in all, we are getting and will get the war news much faster and much more definitely in this new wprld war than we ever dreamed of getting them in the last one. A well known lumberman dropped dead with excitement on December 7th, while listening to the radio reports of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Economic conditions i"l.rtJt the average individual lumberman furnish more contrast as between 1917 and 1942 than even the news. We had a million men fighting in France in the First World War before there were any signs of building restrictions in this country. This time we had severe btrilding restrictions even before we entered the shooting war. And the first severe restrictions on building in 1918 came so close to the end of the war that there was not time to decide just how severe their effect on business would have been. This statement is not made in a spirit of criticism of what has been done this time. As stated at the beginning of this story, this is a new kind of world, and this is a new kind of war. In the First World War no such quantity or volume of metals were needed, as now. Today we need metals in unlimited volume for the building of types of death-dealing equipment never even dreamed of during the First World War, and therefore the use of these critical metals had necessarily to be restricted.

(Continued from Page 6) were no tanks to speak of, no motorized armies, no panzer divisions, and only a corrlparative handful of airplanes in World War No. One, to consume metals in unbelielable quantities, as they are being consumed today.

Another tremendous dih;"; between l9L7 and 1942 that the younger generation no doubt can hardly conceive of, is the tax situation. Right now income taxes play a tremendous part in our individual, our corporate, and our national life. In 1917 the income tax had just come into existence, the schedules were so small as to be negligible, and no great importance was placed by the average man in the question of what income taxes meant to him. They meant very little. While we prepared several millions of men for battle in Europe, there was little financial fear among our people. We went into the war with a small national debt, the cost of the war was just nickles and dimes compared with present costs, and there was no sign of nervousness on that subject. The war was largely financed by the imposition of a myriad of war taxes-mostly of the sales tax type-which brought in the needed money. Whatever more wlas needed was secured easily by the sale of Liberty Bonds and Stamps.

,t*tF

Motorized transportation of large numbers of men or quantities of material was impossible in 1917, because we had practically no through highways, or the tens of thousands of bridges, etc., needed for such highways. The gasoline tax, the golden goose that has in the last 23 years built all our highway improvements, had not yet been heard of when we started shooting in 1917. To give something of an idea of how opinions and conditions have changed, Woodrow Wilson suggested at the beginning of the war, that we might put a one cent per gallon tax on gasoline to help raise some money; but the idea was considered so impractical that it was never attempted. The billion and more dollars a year that the gasoline tax has been bringing in since then, has crisscrossed the country with permanent highways, and the transportation of men and munitions can be effected today in a manner that would have been utterly impossible 23 years ago.

We had no automobif" Inol "!", no tire problems in the First W6rld War. We did have rationing of certain foods before the war ended, but no American ever had to pull his belt tight during the war because of food shortages. Having no through highways, and the highways we did' have being inferior in strength and character of construction, transportation of materials for building and supplying the army carmps had to be handled entirely by the railroads in 1917 and 1918, so there was a great transportation shortage throughout the war period. We have very little of that trouble today, and only in isolated instances. At the present moment the rails and the highways are both

loaded down with matters of war transportation.

Ships were exactry "" rlia.i irl trru First World War as they are today. But we are building almost entirely of steel today, whereas there was a tremendous wooden shipbuilding program during the First World War. Wood in great volume is being used in most of these ships, but not for frame or hull. We built comparatively few airplanes in 1917. Today this is one of the greatest war industries, and has caused an unheard-of demand for aluminum. Whereas this is a war of motors, the First World War was one of men, guns, bayonets, trenches, submarines, and ships. And it was a war of wood,. The United States army created during that war the biggest regiment in its history, the Twentieth Foresty Engineers, which started out to be 7,500 men' and finished up with 17,000. They were all experienced and skilled sawmill and logging men, and they went to France and took their mills and equipment along, and there they produced lumber and timbers from French forests for the use of the Allied armies. They saw great service abroad. *t<>r

This new war we have entered, promises to be fought upon the seas to a greater extent than any previous war of our history. And the seas and ships had much to do with getting us into this war, just as they did in previous wars. It was the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor that caused us to lick the Spaniards in the closing years of the last century. ft was the diabolical sinking of the great steamship Lusitania that brou'ght the war fever to its height in 1917. It was the sinking of our ships in the Atlantic, followed by the vicious attack on Pearl Harbor, that whirled us into the titanic struggle now being waged. It was the freedom of the seas for which we fought in 1812. And wasn't it a shipload of over-taxed tea in Boston harbor that had much to do with starting our scrap with England back in the days of a certain George Washington? Yes, this will be our great sea war, no doubt. ***

Someone has said that when we get through remembering Pearl lfarbor, the Japs will never forget it. Let us pray !

War Puts End to Towing l-og Rafts

San Diego, Jan. 4-War in the Pacific threatens extinction to Southern California's only sawmill located in San Diego Harbor, it was disclosed today.

H. E. Whittemore, manager of the Benson Lumber Co., operator of the mill, said that for the first time in 35 years the coastwise towing of log rafts from the Columbia River to San Diego will not be attempted this year.

A total of. 120 rafts each containing 5,000,000 feet of lumber has been delivered to San Diego by tugs in 25 consecutive summers but war risks will put an end to that operation this year, Mr. Whittemore said. Delivery of square cut logs by rail is too expensive and space on coastwise ships is no longer available, he declared.

Enough logs from previous rafts remain to keep the mill operating about 34 days, after which approximately 75 men will be laid off unless other defense uses can be found for the plant's machinery.

fll fortune dogged the towing of log rafts to San Diego last year.

One broke in two ofr the Central California coast and another caught fire and virtually was destroyed north of San Francisco.

\(/hat Shall \(/e Do To Be Saved?

By ilach Dionne

And now every lumberman, like almost every other citizen ol this country, is asking himself and most other folks he comes in contact with what may be expected during the months and perhaps years to come, from HIS business. What will happen to it? What may become of it? What can he do about it, with all the tremendous changes that are now taking place every day?

And the answer, generally speaking, is the same one that the preacher got in the age-old story. The preacher was delivering his Sunday morning sermon on a warm summer day, the windows of the church wide open to let in the air, and with a loud and enthusiastic audie.nce watching a baseball game just across the road. And it so happened that when the preacher reached the climax of his effort and cried in stentorian fenq5-"\Mhat shall we do to be saved ?" -the crowd at the ball game shouted wildly-"Slide, you bonehead, slide !"

What the lumber industry in general and the individual lumberman in particular has got to do from now on is simply cut his merchandising job to fit the pattern that now presents itself, and to adjust the effort as fast as the pattern changes. That there will be plenty of changes in the pattern (the pattern meaning the rules, restrictions, and conditions that present themselves and over which the lumberman has no control) as we go along in this great war effort, it would be foolish indeed to doubt.

One of the strongest characteristics of the businessman in such times as these is adaptability. It is likewise one of the greatest needs. Heaven help the businessman who cannot adapt himself to changed and unsual conditions when war comes along. Because business as usual has gone out the window, and business as unusual sits high in the saddle. And so it is today with the lumber industry, and more particularly with the retail end of the lumber business.

For the lumber manufacturer, it looks as though he will continue to have the same huge customer whose business he has enjoyed so much during the past eighteen monthsthe Government. Governmental war needs bid fair to relieve the lumber manufacturer of any worry as to where he.will find a market for the greater part of his product for many months to come, at least. The lumber mills have furnished the Government and Government contractors unheard-of quantities of lumber and other wood products during the past year and a half, but "they ain't seen nothing yet," the way things look today. And the mills are cocked and primed to give the Goveinment orders the kind of service that the emergency demands. Government orders will come first in everything. And they will cover softwoods and hardwoods, North, East, South, and'West.

So, for the time being, we can dismiss the producers of lumber from this discussion of the problems of lumber merchandising in 1942. The millmen generally recognize the situation and appreciate the emergency. But the re-

tailer of lurnber is the fellow who has been walking around lately with a large question mark burning brightly in each eye. So let's talk about him. Problems? He's got bushels of them. Troubles? He's well equipped with those, too. But on the other hand there are lots of things acting and operating in his favor.

The first thing in his favor is the fact that there is great need for more and better housing all over this country. The second thing in his favor is the fact that the people in general have their pockets full of money with which to pay for housing or building materials, if they decide to do so. Third, the complete stoppage of the production and sale of new motor cars should be a whale of a factor on the credit side for the man who sells housing and building materials. The money that would otherwise have gone to buy new automobiles-hundreds of millions of dollarswill look around for some other interesting and inviting place to light. And that, of course, is when the live lumber merchant with that "come hither" look in his eye, steps up and offers the lady his arm. Three major assets that point the way to lumber and building sales for L942 are these just listed, and all of them are giants of possibility.

A fourth is the fact that there are no restrictions against building providing the materials from which to build, can be obtained. There has been considerable misunderstanding on that subject, but up to the present time building restrictions have to do entirely with the materials used. One of the things a lumber dealer cannot do is secure "critical" materials "for non-defense use without a priority permit. That, of course, is the biggest worry facing the builder at this moment. But on the other hand there are worlds of materials he can use, and worlds of building he can do, that are entirely unrestricted in any way. There is no restriction on the use of lumber, of cement, of brick, of paint, of wall paper, and various and sundry other building materials. Either with or without FHA assistance he can sell building materials galore for remodeling, repairing, and renovating existing structures.

The lumber dealer is going to have to follow the example of the automobile owner. Finding of a sudden that new automobiles are not to be had, every motor car owner in the country has instinctively turned his thought to the practical matter of seeing how long he can make his present car run. And to do that the logical action is to put the car and keep it thereafter in the very best of condition. Well, that's what we're going to have to do with the homes and other useful buildings of the nation. Put them into the best of shape to withstand wear and weather, and keep them that way until after the duration at least.

It is not given mortal man to see far into the future at any time and particularly in times like these, but it requires

no prophetic mentality to realize what such a national program means to the lumber dealer, does it? From now u,ntil "this cruel war is over" the builders of the nation are going to do TWO things: they are going to do all the NEW building that they can within the rules laid down by the Government covering such matters; and they are going to go out into the highways and the byways and see what they can do to put the existing buildings of this land into the best of condition, in order that they may furnish shelter and protection to our people and their possessions until the emergency ends.

Now you can't translate such a program into a set of rules or working regulations that may be followed like a guide book. This is where the human ingenuity of the lumber industry is going to get a grand opportunity to demonstrate itself and its worth. Translate our materials into the language of those things which it is legal and wise to build during times like these. This is no job for a sluggard, either. It means solicitation. It means first a thorough survey of the dealer's sales territory to determine the needs of his territory. It means a most intelligent sales campaign. It is an opportunity for some skillful advertising to reach the nooks and corners of the district. It means reaching every building owner and taking to his consciousness a story of existing conditions, so that he will understand them.

When every building owner learns the facts about building matters, and how important it is that the homes and other buildings of this entire nation be put and kept in the best possible shape, a great tide of repair and remodeling effort will develop. There is no real reason to be the least bit pessimistic concerning business possibilities for the retail lumberman this year. And this sort of business is vital, essential, important business. Keeping the homes of the nation in good living order, is defense work of the highest character.

So the retail lumber dealer should fully acquaint himself with all rules and regulations now existing or that will later develop governing building; he should accept those rules and regulations religiously, and not only live up to them but help enforce them; and he should then apply the pattern of his business of today to the building needs of his territory, and go hit the ball. This is going to be a lively business year for the lumber manufacturers. And there is at the present time no sound reason for doubting that it can be a very active. and useful year for the retail lumber dealer. But with the dealer it is strictly a merchandising problem. The country is full of money. The people that own it have had their opportunity of investing it terrifically reduced and restricted in the past feu' weeks. And each restriction against other spending, is in favor of the building folks.

The long and short of this merchandising sermon is, know and respect all the rules affecting building; and then do all the building you possibly can that is not.restricted. Outside of defense bonds and stamps it would be hard to think of a better investment for American money today than useful and needed building improvements. Boards, paint, wall paper, cement. brick, and other un-critical materials offer you grand opportunities f.or 1942.

Picking On Both of Them

During the First World War, President Woodrow Wilson laid down his famous Fourteen Points, which were his explanation of what he considered the American nation was fighting for in that great confict. These Fourteen Points naturally created boundless discussion, and likewise were the basis of much mirth and merriment. One of the stories on this subject that gained great circulation, was this one:

'Woodrow Wilson died and went to lleaven, and soon found himself in close conversation with a very wise-talking and dignified-looking man by the name of Moses. Soon

Whereupon Old Man Mose went off in a corner and started talking to himself.

The Kid Has Gone To The Colors

By W. M. Herschell

The Kid has gone to the Colors, And we don't know what to say; The Kid we have loved and cuddled Stepped out for the Flag today, We thought him a child, a baby, With never a care at all, But his country called him mansize, And the Kid has heard the call.

He paused to watch the recruiting Where, fired by the fife and drum, He bowed his head to Old Glory And thought that it whispered: "Come !"

The Kid, not being a quitter, Stood forth with patriot-joy

To add his name to the rosterAnd, God, we're proud of the boy !

The Kid has gone to the Colors; It seems but a little while Since he drilled a schoolboy arrny In a truly martial style. But now he's a man, a soldier, And we lend him listenir,rg ear, For his heart is a heart all loyal, Unscourged by the curse of fear.

His dad, when he told him, shuddered, His mother-God bless her !-cried; Yet, blest with a mother-nature, She wept with a mother-pride. But he whose old shoulders straightened Was Granddad-for memory ran To years when he, too, a youngster, Was changed by the Flag to a man !

OPA Amends Schedule on Douglas Fir Doors

San Francisco, Dec. ?9-An amendment making changes in the schedule of ceiling prices on Douglas fir doors was issued today in Washington, it was learned here by Harry Camp, regional director of the Office of Price Administration.

The Amendment, which becomes effective January 1, 1942, was issued by OPA director Leon Henderson. It will make the following changes:

1. Manufacturers are permitted to charge two point shorter basic discount from list prices to buyers who did not receive the seller's prevailing maximum discounts during the first nine months of. 1941. The basic discount contained in the original schedule remains unchanged for those purchasers who received the seller's prevailing maximum discount during this period.

2. The extra amount allowed for F-5 and F-ll7l raised panel house doors is increased from 10 cents to 25 cents.

3. Maximum price of one type of garage doors is lowered by 50 cents for the l/s inch thickness to jobbers and a new price is provided for dealers 50 cents higher than the jobber price.

4. The record requirements are clarified by a provision stating that any manufacturer who sells, or any buyer who purchases more than one thousand dollars worth of fir doors in any month after December, 1941, must keep records of all sales or purchases made during that month.

Pioneer Lros Atgeles Plywood Firm Celebrates 25th Anniversary

The California Panel & Veneer Company of Los hngeles is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

The company started in business early in 1917. At that time Howell Baker, who was widely known in Southern California lumber circles, decided there rvas a fine opportunity in Los Angeles for a concern to specialize in the stocking and distribution of panels, plywood and veneers. So he put the idea into operaiion and launched the California Panel & Veneer Company rn'ith warehouse and office at 955 South Alameda Street.

The venture was a succes,s from the very start. From 'a small beginning the company moved forward through the years and today it has a commanding position in the plywood industry. Several additions have been made to the original building, and the present rvarehouse extends from South Alameda Street to McGarry Street.

In later years Los Angeles became headquarters for the construction of airplanes, and promptlv the company started stocking and selling many lines of material for airplane construction. The veneer demand decreased but the panel and airplane business steadily increased.

In 1918 George R. Stratemeyer went to work for Mr. Baker as a salesman. R. Mulholland joined the sales force in 1923, and in 1925 William F. Fahs became one of their salesmen. All are playing a big part in the business tod"y.

Howell Baker, president of the firm, passed away in 1925. Mrs. Baker, who had never up to that time had anything to do with her husband's business, then stepped into the business world and took over his desk. She turned the work over to those good lieutenants who had been associated with Mr. Baker, and appointed R. Nlulholland and William F. Fahs managers.

Mrs. Baker is an adroit business woman and is at the office every day. She is president of the company, George

R. Stratemeyer is vice-president, and William F. Fahs, secretary-treasurer and manager.

In 1936 they organized a new corporation, the Baker Steel and Tube Company, to handle their rapidly grorving steel and tube business, r'r'ith offices right there with the panel and plywood company. Mr. Mulholland is president and manager of this concern, Mrs. Baker is vice-president, and Mr. Fahs secretary-treasurer.

The California Panel & Veneer Company handles nothing but wood products while the Baker Steel & Tube Company handles the metai business. Mr. Mulholland specializes in selling to the airplane trade. Messrs. Mulholland, Stratemeyer and Fahs make personal contacts with their extensive trade. so that the details of the work of both organizations are in the hands of their executives.

The California Panel & Veneer Company was appointed exclusive distributor in 1939 for "Gold Bond" insulation products in Southern California, excepting Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. George Otto, with fifteen years' experience in the insulation business, is manager of this department.

Miss Jane Woodhead, who has been with the company for eighteen year.s, is office manager and is assisted by a competent and efficient office staff.

The California Panel and Veneer Company has been among the foremost of plywood jobbers in meeting defense requirements, and it was the first firm to become interested in the development and use of plywood in prefabricated homes in Southern California. The past year the company furnished plyr.'i'ood for over 1500 defense homes, as well as dormitories, for the Government.

"We are the oldest plywood distributor in the West and our business was founded on service," says Mr. Fahs. "Our success and progress during the past quarter of a century has been due to rendering an intelligent and constructive service to our many friends and customers."

Redwood Bark Made Into Cloth

The Pacific Lrumber Company Finds New Use for Redwood Barh Fibre

The giant California redwoods coming to the rescue of the textile industry in helping to alleviate the wool shortage is envisioned in a patent just assigned to The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, for combining redwood bark fibre with sheep's wool.

Woolen blankets and fabrics for overcoats and suitings on display at the company's headquarters at 100 Bush Street, San Francisco, containing from thirty to forty per cent redwood bark fibre show no noticeable difierence from ordinary wool fabrics.

The idea of using this by-product of the redwood hrmber industry for textile purposes began with the discovery of the felting characteristics of the short fibres in the bark as they collected in mats and spun balls on the screen-belts which segregate the long fibres used for Palco Wool insulation. As far as can be determined, this was the first demonstration of felting characteristics ever discovered in vegetable fibre.

This discovery led to the development of processing equipment for recovering and segregating the short fibre, and also to a search for new markets for the material. The research staff of The Pacific Lumber Company, headed by C. L. Thompson, conducted a series of tests in conjunction with a leading woolen company which showed that the redwood bark fibres interfelt and intermat with the wool fibre to form strong fabric. The present wool shortage hastened completion of these tests, which culminated in the granting of a patent on the process and its assignment to The Pacific Lumber Company.

In the process for making the new combination fabrics, the short fibres from the redwood bark are combined with the natural wool fibres in the textile mills. The resulting blend is carded, combed and spun into yarn which can be woven or knitted into fabrics having properties similar to pure wool textiles. The blended fibres can also be combined into felts for making felt mats. Lighter weight blankets and clothing are said to result from the combination of material. Combinations range from fifteen to sixty per cent of the bark fibre in the finished product, thus enabling a substantial saving in wool as well as effecting a considerable saving in the cost of the final product.

Interest in the development has been evidenced by the O.P.M. which is depending on the ingenuity of American

industry to supply substitute materials to overcome the shortages which exist in various commodities. According to Edric E. Brown, manager of the Bark Products Division, immediate steps are being taken to make the new process as well as the raw material, available to textile manufacturers throughout the Country.

Up until a decade ago the rugged bark of the redwoods, which grows up to ten inches in thickness, was a waste product in the production of redwood lumber. At that time while the research department of The Pacific Lumber Company was conducting experiments in recovering the fibres from the bark some crudely shredded redwood bark was discovered intact after eighty years' gse as insulation in the walls of an old milk house near Petaluma, California. This confirmed the theory of the permanent resilience of the wiry fibres of the bark, an exceedingly important factor for insulating purposes. Further tests indicated that the long fibres recovered from the bark had practically all the bther desirable properties of insulation, being non-settling, moisture and fire resistant and distasteful to vermin and insects. Conductivity tests made by J. C. Peebles of Armour Institute of Technology showed a very high heat resistance with a .26 R.t.u. efficiency rating.

After a development period of several years during which a refinement process was evolved and application methods perfected, this material was named Palco Wool insulation and national distribution was obtained. ft is now in general use in the cold storage and meat packing industries and according to Pacific Lumber offiicials, has been installed in over one thousand cold storage locker plants. fn recent years mechanical blower equiprnent has been developed for applying the material in the walls and ceilings of homes.

Both Palco Wool and its new by-product, "Fibre A" for textiles, are produced at The Pacific Lumber Company's mills at Scotia, California. Both are compressed into bales for economical shipping and handling. The resilience of the insulating material is said to be such that when released from the bales and fluffed to the proper density, it quadruples its volume. Obviously, the ability of the product to be compressed for shipping is a distinct advantage under the present conditions of limited shipping facilities.

Pledging their entire cooperation to the government during the present war emergency and at the same time laying plans to fit the shingle industry into any industrial policy which might be carried forward by the government, several hundred shingle manufacturers met in Seattle on December 19 for the 25th annual meeting of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau.

The convention came, according to W. W. Woodbridge, Bureau secretary-manager, at the close of record year of shingle production, eclipsing the l94O mark by over half a million squares. He said that this increased demar;d for red cedar shingles is a continuation of a steady trend which has been felt by the industry during the past decade. Stating that national defense building requirements have called for large quantities of shingles, he graphically characterized this year's shingle production as a continuous trainload 344 miles in length.

The three convention speakers were B. R. Ellis, priorities director of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, W. C. Bell, managing director of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, and Carl Blackstock, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association.

Mr. Ellis, who is recognized as the lumber industry's

priorities leader, described the Office of Production Management, under the direction of Donald Nelson and Sidney Hillman, as "eminently fair" in its policies. The OPM, he said, is genuinely anxious to avoid industrial tie-ups due to a lack of critical materials.

There are three methods, according to Mr. Ellis, by which lumber manufacturers can obtain critical items. One is by follorving a form known as PD-l. It requires a list of consumers directly connected with national defense projects, with specific details such as the priorities number of these customers. A second method of obtaining critical materials is through f.orm P-22; this is a blanket priority rating issued to twenty industries, including lumber, which was later amended giving an A-10 rating. He said that OPM officials are not favorable to such blanket decrees, and that the A-10 rating does not now have much value. The lumber industry is planning to request a higher rating, having compiled annual critical materials requirements for various branches of the industry. The third method of obtaining critical items, he pointed out, is through extension of a certificate awarded a particular defense constrttction project. If the officer in charge of the project is convinced that the product of a certain plant is essential to

PONDEROSA PINE (PINUS PONDEROSA)

SUGAR (Gcnuine Wbite) PINE (PINUS U|MBERTIANA)

completion of the project, he can order an extension of his own priorities certificate enabling the plant to secure the materials necessary for operation.

Mr. Ellis recommended the g'reatest possible use of repaired or second-hand equipment, rather than endeavoring to secure new apparatus. He said that emergencies, such as plant fires or boiler explosions, receive speedier attention than ordinary replacements. Mr. Ellis predicted that raw materials allocations will likely not affect the lumber manufacturer.

Mr. Bell, in his talk before the shingle group, stressed the need for a balanced promotional program, carrying through from the mill to the consumer. He pointed to the publicity campaign of the Western Homes Foundation as evidence of the fruits of home building promotion with the consumer. Recognizing the present war condition, he said that the genius of America has surmounted periods of stress in the past and he predicted similar results during the present war.

Mr. Blackstock stated that it is only reasonable to assume that changes, perhaps drastic ones, lie ahead for the lumber industry, and he said that the industry stands willing to "drop its plowing" in favor of the war front. He cited the increased construction of homes using a minimum of critical materials, plus designs which permit the installation of so-called luxury fixtures and articles at a later date. Mr. Blackstock also commented on "Home', magazine, published by the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, stating that through its wide circulation it contributes greatly to a home consciousness on the part of the American public.

One of the most interesting reports of the convention, which was conducted by Bureau President Paul R. Smith, was that of W. H. Mclallen, chairman of the Bureau,s advertising and trade promotion committee. Mr. Mclallen showed that over 7O per cent of the Bureau,s funds during the past year were spent directly on advertising and pro-

motion, with an appreciable portion of the remainder also going indirectly into this channel.

A feature of the meeting was the presentation of a citation of service to S. P. Johns, Jr., who had long served on the Bureau's board of trustees. The award was made by A. H. Landram, a friend and fellow shingle manufacturer of long standing.

The annual report of Secretary-Manager W. W. Woodbridge featured the activities of the Bureau's well known staff of traveling fieldmen. In the form of stereopticon slides, the report graphically portrayed the work of the various field representatives, a number of whom came to Seattle for the meeting and were in attendance.

Mr. Woodbridge was re-elected secretary-manager, and G. A. Brewer, assistant secretary-manager. Paul R. Smith was re-elected Bureau president f.or 1942, as were vicepresidents Ralph Wayland of Seattle and H. V. Whittall of Vancouver, B. C. Other trustees elected were: Jess Schwarz of Kelso, S. B. Lewis of Longview, W. R. Morley of Aberdeen, Dale Craft of Whites, L. A. Lamere of Olympia, J. A. McEvoy of Seattle, E. R. Scott of Edmonds, p. H. Olwell and Ray Wilde of Everett, W. C. McMaster of Marysville, and Chas. Plant, W. H. Mclallen and I. MacKenzie of Vancouver. B. C.

FHA Residcntial Buildins Reaches All-Time High fn No*hern California ln 1941

Residential construction financed under the FHA plan last year soared to an all-time high for Northern California and raced into 1942 at a record-making pace, according to the Federal Housing Administration.

Registering an increase over 1940 of 1699 mortgages amounting to $11,746,625 accepted for insurance, and a jump of more than 33 per cent above 1939, the FHA district office reports having just closed its books on the banner year since government-insured financing was made available to home owners.

During 1941, FHA accepted for insurance mortgages on 23,242 Northern California homes for a total of. $102,825,265, of which 18,753 are new houses built under FHA inspection and requirements and financed with insured mortgages aggregating $82,658,315.

This was said to compare to a total of.21,543 mortgages amounting to $91,076,639 accepted the previous year, and 15,437 mortgages for $&,948,876 accepted in 1939.

Sav-A-Space sliding door frames are now being marketed nationally by manufacturers of Douglas fir doors. The product, which previously has had only limited distribution, is expected to prove a fast selling specialty for lumber dealers. The complete assembly of door frame with hanger hardrvare is sold as a unit by lumber dealers just like any door frame. Established sash and door distributors will perform the service of assembling the unit to present it to the retailer as a "package." Stock doors will fit the unit and will be furnished as a separate item from the dealers' stocks, or with the special finish hardware.

It is a minimum cost sliding door frame of simple design intended for mass sale, and is being mass-produced of Douglas fir by the door factories of the Pacific Northwest. The frame is built to conform with standard two-by-four construction with all the framework to be concealed by the finished wall; the frames are made to receive standard stock doors of I)(-inch thickness.

While the new type frame for house doors will be sold as a unit, the door itself, the finish hardrvare and finish trim will be sold separately so the ultimate consumer can choose these exposed parts to match the decorative treatment of the home.

In announcing the decision of the fir door manufacturers to market the Sav-A-Space door frames, W. E. Difford, managing director of Fir Door Institute, said the fir door men are convinced sliding doors can add so much usable space to homes of functional design that everyone should have access to the new type frame for sliding closures. "Nucleus of the installation," Mr. Difford explains, "are t'ivo patented metal rollers which glide quietly in the cylindrical channel grooved into the header of strong, durable Douglas fir. The door is suspended from these rollers. The mechanism is simple, foolproof and very inexpensive; no old-fashioned metal tracks are needed."

Mass Distribution Starts for Sp-ce-Saving Door

Biggest market for the product is that offered b1' small homes and apartments where floor and wall space is at a premium and arrangement of furniture is complicated by swinging doors. It is estimated that the installation of sliding doors will add as much as 100 square feet of usable floor area to the modern home.

The Sav-A-Space assembly requires no overhead metal channel because the light, noiseless discs glide along the groove in the fir header. Tests have proved there is no perceptible wear either on the rollers or headers a.fter 100,000 openings of a door weighted to 50 pounds (exceptionally heavy for a house closure).

Unit Fits Into Wall

The sliding door can also be used in a remodeled Here ig c scv-cr-spcce sridins door fomg .yithout adding apcasembly. The trcmewJii.,'l'"'t-"i preciably to the cost of the Iir, fiig stcndard 2x4 wcll conatruc- imDrovement whenever tion, receiveg stqndcrd l7e-inch doors (doorg "ora ""plrot.ivj.'-"

walls are to be reconstructed-

The assembly for the new sliding door is available only for doors 6'8" high and I3f" thick, but it is offered in five widths from 70" to 3'U'. For the three-foot-wide door a stud opening of C4" wide and 7'7'high is used. The unit fits in this space to become part of the wall ; there are four bearing points on the assembly header to support cripples as part of the wall, but the header itself is not intended as a weight-bearing beam.

In Southern

Reacher New Hbh ln 1941

The close of l94l marked a year of gratifying progress for the Southern California District FHA office; the volume of business transacted during the year reaching an amount of 26%% in excess of the previous yearly high in number, and 24/o in dollar value, according to Wilson G. Bingham, Southern California District Director, Federal Housing Administration.

California fir set on edge with the groove for rollers routed out I smooth. The header is supported by three jambs-inside, exposed and intermediary (split). Intermediary and inside jambs are connected by horizontal spreaders and a bottom brace extends across the bottom. Plaster stops are included under the header and at the sides of the jambs. Only part of the assembly that is exposed when the installation is complete is a tiny strip of the exposed or front' jamb. All parts are of durable Douglas fir except the hardwood scuff strip which is tacked to the bottom of the door.

In explaining the new marketing undertaking, Mr. Difford said the new sliding door assemblies already are flowing to the trade. Literature, leaflets, instruction sheets and other sales helps for dealers and distributors are being printed and sent out.

Ap,plications for the insurance of home mortgages received by the local FHA office during the year numbered 35,472 representing home mortgages valued at $148,221,695. The year, 1940, recorded the previous high in number volume, with 28,037 cases, while 1938 carried the previous dollar high, at $119,310,441, the report of Mr. Bingham shows. I\{ore than 80/o of. the total number volume during 1941 involved the construction of new homes.

Sign Consent Decree

Washington, D. C., January 5-The National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association and the Mountain States Lumber Dealers' Association, on January 3rd, signed a Consent Decree in the District Court of Denver, Colorado, and, at the same time, entered pleas of nolo contendere to criminal indictments that had been returned against the two associations in April, 1941.

The indictment against the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association had charged that the association was engaged in a combination and conspiracy to establish, maintain, and enforce an unreasonable policy and program of distribution.

The indictment against the Mountain States Association charged the association with the fixing of marketing areas and prices, and unlawful policies of dealer recognition.

Both associations denied the charges in the indictments.

After conferring with officials of the Department of Justice, it was determined that the best solution to the issues involved could be arrived at through negotiation of a consent decree. Consequently, a civil suit was filed, and the decree entered by agreement, which was concurred in by the Court in Denver. The associations stated they felt that the organized retail industry now has a very definite list of association activities which the Department would consider to be contrary to and in violation of the anti-trust laws under their present-day interpretation.

The Decree enjoins the associations from engaging in any plan or program to allocate territories or markets or customers, or to fix prices, and prohibits exertion of pressure against manufacturers and wholesalers for the purpose of discriminating against particular dealers or purchasers or classes of purchasers of lumber and other building materials.

The associations further stated that in respect to association activities barred by the Consent Decree, there was an unanimous concurrence that such activities were not a proper function of a trade asiociation. In fact, the industry has at all times denied its participation in the type of activities now prohibited.

In the course of negotiation of the Consent Decree with the Department of Justice, twenty-one other retail lumber

dealer associations, state and regional, not in any way connected with the Denver indictments, expressed willingness to join with the National Association as signatories to the Consent Decree.

In disposing of the original indictments against the National Association and the Mountain States Association, and in accordance with usual practice wherein a plea of nolo contendere is entered, minimum fines were levied against the associations; in the case of the National, $1200 on each of two counts, making a total of $2,100; and in the case of the Mountain States, a total of $2,000. No fines were imposed on the twenty-one associations not parties to the indictment.

Following is a list of the associations joining with the National Association and the Mountain Stateb Association in signature of the Decree:

Arizona Retail Lumber and Builders' Supply Association, Carolina Lumber and Building Supply Association, Illinois Lumber and Material Dealers' Association, fndiana Lumber and Builders' Supply Association, Kentucky Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, Louisiana Building Material Dealers' Association, Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, Middle Atlantic Lumbermen's Association, New Jersey Lumbermen's Association, Nerv York Lumber Trade Association, Northeaster.n Retail Lumbermen's Association. Northwestern Lumbermen's Association, Southwestern Lumbermen's Association, Ohio Association of Retail Lumber Dealers, Tennessee Lumber Millwork and Supply Dealers' Association, IJtah Lumber Dealers' Association, Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, West Virginia Lumber and Builders' Supply Dealers' Association, \Misconsin Retail Lumbermen's Association, Iowa Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, Montana Retail Lumbermen's Association.
