Moore Dry Kiln Company has mailed to the lumber and woodworking manufacturers copies of its 1944 "Uncle 'Neas" calendar. So many of their friends greeted with approval the return of the old Darkey lumberman last year, that they are again presenting another incident in his long career. On the back is the story, "The Prudent Optimist," that explains the picture on the front of the calendar.
If you did not receive a calendar, you can get one by writing the Moore Dry Kiln Company, North Portland, Ore.

f've read and heard a lot about the American soldier's idea of what he's fighting for. But I think what an American fyer told Bill Henry, the commentator, is the best answer yet. He said: "
Speaking of song, one of the strangcst things in our history happened in f943. Or shall we call it psychological instead of musical? I mean the case of the slender, hungrylooking, fairly modest young man singer who became such a national sensation that millions try in vain to seek the answer to the puzzle. He rises to sing; and at the first note millions of adolescent young females squeal" screar1 and almost knock themselves out trying to demonstrate detight in its most extravagant form. They sound for dl the world like a string of young porkers on the pig-sticking line in a packing house. There is nothing that the average person can discover to explain the results obtained. I{e isn't much to look at. And he isn't much of a singer. No gorgeous notes. No thrilling vocal productions. He sings the current love songs and gives ttrem a lot of the grunt and groan technique made popular by our heavyweight wrestlers. The country is loaded with better singers who are better looking men. But they get slight attention from those who swoon when this boy moans to music. Why? Figure it out and get first prize for 1943. Has this boy got something that calm minded people do not see or hear; or is it a refection on our youth? Remember, in a short time these unrestrained squealers and swooners will be voting. And then what?

For the past year bureaucrats and bureaucracy have been taking an incessant and violent beating all over this nation, in both the written and spoken word. But the fact that there are more of them'today than there were when the tide started rising against them, and they seem to be more firmly entrenched than ever, evidently proves the old saying that: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." We are never going to get rid of them by jnst cussing them.

There's a nightmare on the way for taxpayers. I mean another one. At least so says S. F. Porter, Financial Editor of the New York Post, writing in Liberty and Reader's Digest. The Treasury Department, says this authority, has printed the blanks on which fifty million Americans must report their 1943 incomes before March 15th. They are, he sa5rs, "the most brutally complicated and unintelligiible forms ever issued by a government to its citizens." EIe says that even a Treasury tax expert can't figure one out. Yet of the fifty million people who must fill them out, ten million never paid an income tax before, or filled in an income tax blank. Porter predicts a national headache. ***
To give you an idea of how "brutally complicated" this 1943 tax form will be, he gives this example. They wanted to say that "an employer may deduct from his income tax reasonable payments under a pension plan," made to his employees. And here is how the form explains that simple thing: "If contributions are paid by an employer to or under a stock bonus, pension, profit-sharing or annuity plan, or if compensation is paid or accrued on account of any employee under a plan deferring the receipt of such compensation, such contributions or compensation shall not be deductible under subsection (a) but shall be deductible, if deductible under subsection (a) without regard to this subsection, under the subsectio,n but only to the following extent, etc." Maybe that will give you an idea. And besides that, he says that every taxpayer must also fill in another blank for 1944 income, estimating what his income for this year is going to be. Let us join together in prayer ! ***
While all authorities agree that the habit of making New Year's Eve the official Big Drunk of the year is of very recent date, no one seems to know who started it, or just when. That it belongs only to the last two or possibly three generations, is the concensus of opinion. Unfortunately the author of this inspirational and morale-building habit has been lost in the fog of time. New Year's day falls on January first because Julius Caesar arr:urged it
that way. But the Gregorian calendar was established in 1582, and it changed Caesar's affangement somewhat, and the January first that wre now observe falls on the January 13th of Caesar's calendar. The civillzed wodd uses tle Gregorian calendar. New Year has long been observed. The ancient Eglptians, Persians, and Phoenicians began their new year with the autumn equinox on September 2lst. Until the 5th century B. C. the Greeks started their year at the winter solstice, December 21st. Before Caesar the Romans did likwise. In early medieval times most Christians in Europe considered March 25th to be New Year's day. fn Anglo Saxon England the year started on December 25th. Then William the Conqueror changed it to January first. But it was not until the 18th century that the entire civilized world started fixing January first as New Year's day. These things are historical'. But who first made it the Great Carousal, and when? That's the question.

During the holidays a long and heavily croulrled train was entertained in a most unusual way. Two buck privates did the entertaining. They were somewhat under the influence, but were nevertheless sharp as tacks, and everything they did and said was entirely respectful to their audiences. From car to car they went, and. called the folks to order in each car. Naturally they got attentive audiences. And they then took turns discussing the subject of John L. Lewis. They were, it appears, heartily opposed to Mr. Lewis. They made that very plain. They called for opinions from their audiences. They put on very neat little programs in every car. And, for fear folks might forget, they visited each car in that manner several times. F'inally the MP's convinced them that they had done enough public speaking for the day. But not before they had had their say to everyone on the train from the engineer to tfie rear brakeman.

May I take this early year opportunity to state that one of my pet 1rceves is polls? Polls of public opinion, and stuff like that. I just don't believe in them. It is my opinion that a blindfolded moron at the bottom of a deep well could come just as near discovering public opinion on any subject, as one of these so-called polls. If I needed anything to rock-rib my opinion of the value of polls (I needed nothing, as a matter of fact), when I read that the people of the Southern states were in favor of abolishing the poll tax, I got it. You can easily guess how and where such opinion must have been gathered. f have never been interviewed for a public opinion poll. I know a lot of people around the country, and so far as I can discover from careful inquiry, none of them was ever asked, either. So none of these polls take in anybody that I lnow. Just who do they cover? With a serious election year coming on, f regret the naischief these things may do.

And there was driven home to us in even more forceful fashion during the past year the peerless leadership of framing items in the world of lumber. Ingenious producers of building and boxing and crating materials have succeeded in producing and manufacturing substitutes for most standard lumber items. But not dimension. Not framing. Th'e mind that can think up a substitute for two inch thick framing lumber has apparently not yet appeared on the scene. f wrote in this column more than a year ago: "Lumber is the only vital war material for which no successful substitute has yet been discovered." And now I can add without fear of successful contradiction: "And dimension is the most irreplaceable of all lumber items."

Somewhere else in this issue will be found the text of an article by the president of Celotex, Bror Dahlberg, that deserves the reading of every lumberman. He says that one of ttre things that is going to save this nation when the war ends is tremendous production of all worthwhile things, particularly homes. He says that satisfactory homes that come within the buying range of the average man must be produced by the home building industry, and that it will do much to save the country and help it back along the road to postwar normalcy, thus helping furnish a tremendous amount of needed emploSrment, and also an unheardof number of postwar homes.

An Australian newspaper, writing praises of our boys in the Marines who were stationed in that land and in many cases billeted in their homes, refers to them as "homely." But it uses the word in its finest meaning, and not to criticize the looks of our boys. But even though they had meant it otherwise, men of unbeautiful features will take pardonable pride in recalling the historic fact that the greatest men in American history have often been plainest of the plain. Lincoln was one of the homeliest men in history. Washington (don't let those pictures on the schoolroom walls fool you) was a rugged, plain featured man. Jefferson
was a very homely cuy. So was Dr. Franklin. And Patrick Henry. And Henry Clay. The list can go on and on. The handsomest great man in American history was Robert E. Lee. Yet his was that manly and impressive type well exemplified today by General Douglas MacArthur. Lec had and MacArthur has that type of manly looks that they refer to in thoroughbred horses as-"the look of the eagle." I don't wonder they "hobbled" Mac. I wouldn't want that kind of competition, .trh"f.
Every time I see a picture of MacArthur I am reminded of Ingersoll's incomparable phrase: "Like an armed warrior -like a plum'ed knight." That's the way MacArthur looks. He has been called "the most decorated American soldier." He is likewise the most DECORATM American soldier. What a leader! I get a touch of goose pimples every time I see that eagle countenance. Mind you, I am not unmindful of the other great leaders in our armed forces. I yield to no American in my admiration for that magnificent soldier, that simple, modest gentleman, General George Marshall. I love Ike Isenhower. f am thoroughly convinced that never before in this world's history has the God of Hosts called to leadership in a great cause and to fill a great need, so grand and capable a group of men as dozens who head our Arnerican army and navy today. Crod bless and guide them, every one. But oh! That MacArthurl

I seldom print any of the innumerable stories about the Roosevelts that come along, because most of them have barbs in them. But here'is one that is genuinely funny, and deserves telling.
The story goes that Churchill and Roosevelt died and went to Heaven together. Side by side they were marching through the pearly gates without even knocking, when St. Peter stopped them.
He said: "Wait a minute, you two. You guys can't come in here !"
They said: "Why not?"
Wm. G. (Bill) Haydon, Jr., is now with Manufacturers Lumber Co. of Los Angeles, sales agents for the Commercial Lumber Co., Inc. He was formerly with the E. K. Wood Lumber Company at Los Angeles and he is well known in Southern California lumber circles.
He said: "Because you'd just start trouble. I've been watching your careers on earth, and I know you wouldn't be here a day until you'd start some sort of heavenly New Deal, and want to run heaven your own way' and I'm not going to have it. You can't come in."
Churchill said: "St. Peter, before you make that decision you'd better think it over pretty seriously. Because if you don't let us in this heaven we'll go start one of our own, and give you some hot competition. Won't we, Franklin?"
Roosevelt said: "We sure will, Winnie. You build it. I'll finance it."
Thomas Spelman of Manteca, well known California lumberman, has been appointed manager of the Palo Alto Lumber & Roofing Co. at Palo Alto. He succeeds Dale Frane, who is now manager of the Stockton Lumber Company, fnc., at Stockton.

(Here is a remarkable editorial from "The Celotex News," written by Bror Dahlberg, President of Celotex. Read it. The publishers of this journal are heartily in sympathy with the sentiments expressed, and the philosophy outlined concerning postwar homes. The Editor.)
The die-hards who scoffed "get a horse" every time an early automobile broke down are at it again. They don't believe in "fairy stories" or in "miracle. houses." I-ike the harness rnakers ol lX)Z, they want to stick to "the good old ways."
These people do not know what a real miracle is. They forget that it is miraclesthe fantastic, "impossible" dreams of yesterdaythat are the backbone of our free enterprise system: the miracle of producing the millions of automobiles that jam our peacetime highways, the radios that bring music and laughter into the crowded cities and the lonely farm shacks, the movies on every main street-the commonplace, everyday miracles that are the foundation of our standard of Iiving.
The true Miracle House of tomorrow will be measured by the same yardstick: can it be built to sell at a price the ordinary man can afford to pay? If not, it will be no miracle but just another luxury, even if it has movable walls that will change the size and shape of rooms, air conditioning that will reproduce any sort of climate at the touch of a button, and electrostatic equipment that will do all the housewife's dusting and cleaning.
For the building industry the real miracle will bi the production of substantial, attractive, durable homes within reach of the income of every able-bodied working man.
There are many arguments about how houses can be built, what material can be used, who will build and sell them. All are beside the point. The success of the low cost house will depend, not on whether it is built of this materidl or that, or just how it is made, but,whether it can be built to sell at a price the millions who have never been a^ble to own a home can then afford to pay.
It is easy for all of us, lumber dealers, builders, architects, and material manufacturers, to shrug our shoulders and say, "'We know nothing about building such low cost houses. We got along without building them before the war, and we can get along afterward."
The half-truth of that statement makes it dynamite. As an attitude for the industry, it can sabotage our entire domestic econpmy.
Whether we like it or not, the building industry will never go.back to "business as usual." Neither the industry nor our individual businesses op.tit" in a vacuum. Everything we do affects the general economy, and everything that happens in the general economy affects us.
After the war the No. 1 job for all industry will be to provide employment-more employment than has ever been provided before. Millions of workers will be seeking jobs, including men in the armed forces and war plants, more workers than ever.were employed in a peacetime year.
As the nation's largest industry, excepting agriculture, building can carry a large share of the reemployment burden. In its previous peak year the building industry employed 4mW workers in the erection of all types of stru-ctures, and perhaps one and one-half times that number, or 3,600,00 in building material and equipment manufacture, a total of 6,000,000 workers.
In its peak year, the industry built about 937,000 new. home units. At the prewar price level for homes, that is about the maximum number of dwellings that can be sold. ff more homes are to be built and more workers employed, the industry must expand its market among the lower income groups which it has never before,reached.
If a good, attractive low cost house can be built, the industry can reasonably expect to double the size of its

At training camp some of the boys were telling a tall lanky boy from West Texas, about the size and importance of the Chicago stockyards. "Shucks, we've got brandin' corrals bigger than that," said the unimpressed Texan. That night the Chicago boys put a couple of big snapping turtles into the Texan's bed. One of them grabbed him by the toe, and, he pulled it out. "What's that?' he asked. "Illinois bedbug," said a Chicago boy. The cowboy looked at it a moment, and said, "Must be a young un."

Producers of leading vegetable crops, including cantaloupes, melons, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, lettuce and radishes, will be allowed wooden shipping containers suffcient to meet current crop harvests prior to April | 1944. No easement is anticipated in the critical supply of wooden shipping containers and shippers u'ere urged to plan for the re-use of containers.
Building permits issued during December were slightly more than in November, but estimated valuation totaled nearly $1 million less. During the last month, 1,976 permits valued at $5,462,357, were issued, compared to 1,964 permits valued at ffi,374p50 in November and l,W4 permits valued at $1,278,736 in December, 1942.
Comparison of last year's totals show 17,970 permits valued at $31,D6,W were issued in 1943 to 21,138 permits valued at $ffi,219,U6 issued in 1942.
Last month's permits include plans for housing accommodations for 345 families in 24 apartment houses, 241 single dwellings, 2 double dwellings and I multiple dwelling. Average cost of a single unit is $3,097 compared with $3,472 a year ago.
Chris L. Christensen, vice president of The Celotex Corporation, and formerly dean of the College of Agriculture, Ifniversity of Minnesota, was one of the principal speakers at the government-sponsored Farm Buildings Repair Conference recently held in Chicago.

"ordinary" ways of doing things won't produce it, any more than a blacksmith and his anvil could turn out a car for $900. On the other hand, no superhuman methods are required. If building can do just half as well as other industries, it will produce a miracle that will stand head and shoulders o.rrer any previous building achievements.
We have at hand today the skill, the material and the brains to make it a reality, and at the war's end we will have ample manpower. These factors, combined with the genuine need for, and determination to produce, adequate housing are a combination that is as unstoppable as was the automobile.

Lumber distribution yards remanufacturing Douglas fir, true fir and Western hemlock plank and timbers into smaller-sized boards and dimension lumber may calculate their ceiling prices for the remanufactured products by adding remanufacturing milling charges to maximum prices and inbound freight costs for the original size material, the Office of Price Administration announced on January 5.
There are, however, these limitations and qualifications placed on such pricing:
l-Sales of remanufactured material at the ceilings thus computed, which are approximately $6 to $7 per 1,000 board feet above the maximum prices for standard millmade boards and dimension lumber, ffi&y not in any month exceed 30 per cent of the yard's total average monthly sales for the preceding three months. This program applies only to yards having remanufacturing equipment.
2-The higher prices for remanufactured material are applicable only to sales in which the distribution yard markup is $5 and 10 per cent or less.
$-The total remanufacturing milling charge may include allowances for only two workings, ripping, resawing or dressing. For example, it may cover one rip and one resaw, or one resaw and one dressing charge, and so forth, but a total of only two workings may be charged for.
4-Yards using the "remanufactured" lumber prices are required to obtain spe,cial permission to do so from OPA, and thereafter submit monthly reports of remanufacturing operations to the price agency.
While the new prices represent increases of approximately $6 to $7 per 1,000 board feet in prices of remanufactured lumber to consumers, OPA said, they will permit yards to saw up heavy slower-moving stocks of larger size material into smaller dimension sizes of lumber {or which there currently is heavy demand.
Because of the limitation of the higher ceiling prices to sales in which the distribution yard mark-up is $5 and 10 per cent or less, OPA adtled, the principal transactions at the remanufactured lumber price levels will be "wholesaletype" sales, such as sales to United States Government agencies, industrial users, railroads, shipyards and war housing construction projects.
Much of the yard-manufactured lumber will be sold under allocation by the War Production Board for essential war uses.
"New war housing.requirements on the Pacific Coast call for approximately 117,000,000 board feet of one-inch and two-inch lumber," OPA said. "There is heavy demand in other regions, too, for lumber one inch and two inches thick. Lumber mills are manufacturing and selling little of this material to distribution yards, but are rather selling rough lumber, chiefly timbers, to the yards. They do not have the manpower to saw timber up into smaller sizes in the volume current demand requires.
"Ilnder the established ceiling prices for mill-made standard boards and dimension lumber, distribution yards cannot profitably remanufacture the larger sizes of lumber products into needed thinner material. The present action will permit yards to recover actual out-of-pocket costs for additional freight on the larger sizes plus charges for remanufacturing.
"The result will be an increase in present distribution yard prices, on those sales which must be priced at the $5 and 10 per cent mark-up. However, a reduction in the consumeds cost will probably be effected by the change since the inability of labor-short mills to produce badly needed one-inch and two-inch material is forcing consumers to buy the larger sizes, pay the higher freight, and have the lumber remanufactured at custom mills at charges much higher than distribution yards will charge under remanufactured lumber ceiling prices."

There are many vital matters before Congress today that interest Mr. John Citizen, be he lumberman or otherwise. Two in particular deserve our special attention: subsidies, and social security from cradle-to€rave. They are as important to every lumberman as his good right eye.
SUBSIDIES: This is a tricky subject. To deny it would be an attempt to deceive. A wise man once told me that in handling any controversial subject, the first thing to do is notice who is for, and who against it. You will find the men who oppose the payment o.f subsidies by our government to be mostly experienced, practical, hardheaded men who know things from experience. On the subsidy defense side you will find mostly the same gang of dreamers and theorists who have been doing our experimenting for a decade. There are just enough exceptions on both sides to prove the rule.
The subsidy theory: the producer says he cannot sell his product at the government fixed ceiling price and get by, so he must either get a higher price, or quit producing. The subsidy theorists would have him continue to produce and sell at the ceiling, and then have the government pay him the difference between that and the price he says he must have, as a subsidy. The consumer gets no increase in prices, the producer gets what he is askipg for in price, and the government taxes all its citizens to get the subsidy money. They say that inflation is very imminent, and that to prevent inflation we must hold prices. The reason they think inflation is a danger is because there is a lot more money, buying power, in the hands of our citizens, than there is goods to buy with that money. So, to prevent a runaway situation, we must keep prices down, and we can only keep them down and at the same time keep the producer in business, by paying subsidies.
The anti-subsidy school has a million practical arguments against this proposed plan. They say it is one hundred per ,cent artificial; as much so as trying to treat cancer with shots in the arm. If infation threatens, they say, because people have too much money in their pockets, what better way could be found to reduce some of that pressure than to let the public pay the fair present price of the necessities they buy, instead of letting the govern-
ment pay the difference, thus leaving a lot of surplus money in the pockets of the consumer? Critics of the subsidy plan say it comes from the same school of thought that kille{ off the pigs, plowed under the crops, muddled our money, primed the pump for years until it squeaked, adopted the philosophy of scarcity, and in a thousand different ways sought to substitute artificial economics for plain business sense.
And what is more, they emphatically declare that it would be plain murder to again place unlimited guantities of money in the hands of politicians, to distribute according to their own whims; or needs. It is time to take such unlimited powers out of the hands of mortal men. The temptations, especially in a big political year, might prove too great.
The battle is drawn. Watch it. Take a hand in it. Gov. Jim Hogg once exhausted his collection of condemnatory adjectives in denouncing'a proposal for subsidies. Chief Justice Nelson Philipps, twenty odd years ago, said: ,,Subsidies are the convenient and insidious instruments of absolute power." Albert Goss, one of our present day farm leaders, said recently: "Subsidies are a demagogue,s paradise, enabling him to promise higher prices to the producer, and lower prices to the consumer."
Our owtr opinion is that subsidies are the inevitable refuge of the impractical and the don't-knows.
SOCIAL SECURITY: Here is an even more dangerous proposition. It is an insidious threat against the very foundations of Americanism. There is before Congress a "cradle-to-grave" social security bill, fathered by a number of legislators headed by Senator Wagner of labor law fame. It proposes to stick the long arm of government deep down ,into the payrolls of the nation and take from employer and employe both many additional billions of dollars annually, with which they propose to hand-raise, milk-feed, and coddle free-born Americans from birth to death. Jesus said: "Me ye have not always with you, but the poor ye have always with you." This proposed law would give the lie to that prediction of Jesus, and drag in the millennium by the very horns, doing for every citizen most of those things which since 1776 have been considered not only the duiy

but the birthright of all free and worth-while men.
Opinion on this proposition will difter diametricall)r, depending on whether we consider it from the standpoint of the man who desires to create wealth by the sweat of his brow, or of the parasite who consumes it in idleness.
,F'or it seeks to make all men equal-by law. The strong and the weak; the ambitious and the ambitiousless ; the thinker and the thoughtless; the genius and the moron; the honorable and the dishonorable; the honest and the dishonest; the thrifty and the spendthrift; the worker and the drone; the brainy and the brainless; the saint and the sinner; the law-lover and the criminal; the producer and the destroyer; all must be brought to a common level. Want must be abolished. The poor must disappear, regardless of their fault. We must all seek that same level -by law.
Under such a regime the lion and the lamb, the ant and the elephant, become equal.
We shall eat out of the same plate, drink out of the same pitcher, share and share alike this world's goods, whether we produce much or little individually. There will be no more hard work, no more deep thinking, no more burning the midnight oil to create things for humanity, no more ambition to improve, no more efiort to outstrip the other fellow, no more incentive to rise in the world, no more sweat, no more competition. Everyone shall stand still, mentally and physically, and enjoy the blessings of freedom; freedom from want; freedom from fear; freedom from ambition; freedom from character; freedom from intellect; freedom {rom pride; freedom from efficiency; freedom from
usefulness.

The creation of such a law would do more in a minute to destroy everything that made America great, than any other legislation in history. The philosophy behind it is all wrong; so how can the product be right? Just so long as men are born unequal in mind, body, a4d ambition; just so long as commerce and industry flourish on this earth; just that long will the provident and the efficient and intelligent succeed and profit by their success; and for just that long the weak, the wasteful, and the incapable will have to take the places for which God equipped them, and that in spite of all the panaceas of politicians. Any system that attempts to withhold from genius and industry and thrift their just reward, and bestow these awards upon folly and sloth, or which makes the citizen the ward of the state, is the direct opposite of that system that made America.
Think you that under such conditions the world would ever again produce an Abraham Lincoln, a Thomas Edison, an Andrew Carnegie, a Henry Ford? Never! Such men are forged only in the crucible of sweat and struggle and unremitting effort to excell, to accomplish things. Only the white-hot fire of necessity and of competition makes fiber of quality. The very atmosphere that made our American giants would be wholly missing. When the atmosphere of "cradle-to-grave" security settles down over this land, we will raise only pygmies.
If this "cradle-to-grave" proposal becomes law we might just as well crawl into our hole, like a bear in winter, and throwing away our magnificent heritage, pull the hole in after us.
When Navy designers planned the giant flameproofed wooden hangars for the coastal patrol of blimps, they had few structural precedents to guide them. Never before had such huge structures" of timber framing been built. Horvever, nearly a score of the giant hangars already have been completed under Bureau of Yards and Docks plan. Essentially, the hangars consist of an oval-arched roof, stifiened by a series of arch ribs, and two end doors. Hangar dimensions run like this: 1000 feet long, 170 feet high at the crown, nearly 300 feet wide at ground level.
Doors for the huge openings at either end of the hangars were unusual engineering problems in themselves. It was necessary to construct them' to be independent of the main building so that they would not weigh upon the hangar framing. This framing could not be birilt to resist either the weight of doors generally used for steel hangars of similar shape, or the wind pressure which would be transmitted from the doors of such immense area. Meeting these design problems, two types of doors were finally selected: (l) a flat sliding door with separate support, and' (2) a semi-dome door which would be self-supporting in any position from open to closed.
Twin reinforced-concrete pylons support an enormous, sguare built-up timber girder to guide the flat, sliding door type. Most of these door installations were made by Byrne Doors, Inc., whose multi-leaf electric operators will close and open the six sections of the doors at the touch of a button. The leaves are tZO feet high and are supportett laterally by guide rails at the top. They roll on flanged steel wheels over railroad type tracks. The operating mechanism is so engineered as to rnove the several segments, or leaves, at differential rates of speed-the second travelling twice as fast as the first, and the third three times as fast-causing all three leaves to arrive at oPen or closed positions simultaneously. Maximum speed of the flat door is 75 feet a minute, making it possible to open or close these doors in less than two minutes.
The basic requirements of rigidity, light weight, and large
size posed a design problem which was met at three different bases by three different combinations of materials, including one new product, which has an extremely important future-flameproofed plywood. One solution to the problem of door construc.tion uses steel frames (actually box trusses on end) faced with pressure-flameproofed 1x6 tongue-and-groove pine sheathing, nailed to purlins on the truss face. Another design incorporates steel longitudinal members stifrened with wood braces which furnish the base to which asbestos-cement boards are fastened. At one West Coast base, the door retains the all-steel truss frame, but is sheathed with Minalith-flameproofed fir plywood, mounted on steel angles which are bolted to the truss frame.
Because of its light weight, and the large size of the panels, the treated plywood sheathing permitted faster,
PBospect
simpler erection than either of the two other types. No scaffold was required in mounting the plywood sheets on the door panel trusses; the sheets were handled by a Motocrane with an extended boom, two or three men placing and bolting up the panels. Materials used throughout the hangars were fabricated, and after fabrication timber used in the structures was shipped to wood-preserving plants to be pressure-treated for fire resistance.
In addition to providing support to the door leaves, the boxbeam girder at the top of each door construction carries the enclosure framing for the remainder of the end opening of the hangars. Continuity of the box girder (which measures 21 f.eet 9l inches square in cross section) with the towers and the cantilevers is provided by means of chord splices and shear connection anchored into the t,ower walls.
At one locality, where poor foundation conditions exist, flat doors were found impracticable because of the heavy .concentrated loads on the tower bent piers. The semi-dome door, distributing weight over a larger area, was the solution here. With the exception of a center assembly piece of steel at the crovr'n, the semi-dom,e door is made entirely of flameproofed timber. fn fact, 600 tons of structural steel per hangar is saved by the semi-dome method of construction. The door is 159 feet high at the crown, and is shaped like an half circle with a t"diu. of 120 feet.
The door opens at a 90 degree angle, taking a position parallel to the hangar and 400 feet away from the structure when open. On a set of ll concentrically curved tracks, lZ Byrne operating trucks carry the huge door. The trucks are complete with their own diesel power units, special gear reduction units, brakes and control devices.
The semi-dome door can be operated at three speeds, ranging from 10 feet per minute to 62.5 feet per minute, and requires approximately 1O minutes to move from closed position to a fully open position parallel to the hangar.
The Golden State Lumber Company, Santa Monica, has purchased the Alley Brothers plant in that city. Frank G. Kranz is proprietor of the Golden State Lumber Company.
Alley Brothers operated the yard in Santa Monica for a number of years, and Hadley J. (Jack) Alley, who organized the company with his brother, Frank, passed away last November. The firm operates a sawmill and planing mill at Medford, Oregon.
W. R. Chamberlin, W. R. Charnberlin & Co., San Francisco, and Mrs. Chamberlin, spent the holidays in Los Angeles.
Ralph Zinn, Baskett Lumber Company, is now with the Wilshire Oil Co. He was associated with the yard for 24 years, and until several years ago it was operated under the name of Whittier Lumber Company.
'Pete Toste, Southern California manager for Kilpatrick & Co., Wilmington, is back on the job again and reports that he is feeling fine. Pete was confined to the Seaside Hospital, Long Beach, for a month.
E. H. Clarke of E. H. Clarke Lumber Co., Sweet Home, Ore., visited San Francisco in the latter part of November.
Jim Jansen, owner, Jansen Lumber Co., Ashland, Ore., Herbert Fischborn, manager of the mill, and their wives, were San Francis,co visitors over the Christmas and New Year holidays.
R. L. (Dick) Ustick, well known retail lumberman, who was for many years with Stanislaus Lumber Co., Modesto, and for the past three years with Stanislaus Implement & Hardware Co. is back in the lumber business. He is now associated with the Ross Lumber Co., Modesto.
Seth L. Butler, Northern California representative of Dant & Russell, fnc., left January 8 to visit the firm's head office in Portland. He was accompanied by Mrs. Butler and will be gone about two weeks.
Mace Tobin, sales manager, Willamette Valley Lumber Co., Dallas, Ore., recently visited San Francisco and Los Angeles on business.
Coos Bay Lumber Company,s mill at Marshfield, Ore., cut a total of 102,600,000 feet in 1943. while this is no_ where near the big mill's all-time record it is a substantiar contribution to the war effort.

Andrew J. Ware, pioneer business man and lumberman, passed away at his home in Corona on January 7. He was 84 years of age.
Born in Stubenville, Ohio, in 1859, he came to Corona in 1893 from Iowa and he engaged in the confectionary business. Later he was employed by the Newport Lumber Company at its Corona branch.
