The California Lumber Merchant - January 1947

(TTREAMLINED beauty is practical design in a car. But \ t J it pays to remember it's what's inside the hood that mattefs.

It's what's inside that counts with quality building products, too. Hidden, insid'e tal:ues the eye seldom sees. That's why building-wise people insist on Celotex Building and Insulating Products.

They know the raw materials that go into Celotex are the best that nature can grow and money can buy.

And rigid production controls all along the line guarantee uniformly high quality of every product bearing the Celotex name.

Tireless laboratory research perfects materials and methods still more... helps to maintain Celotex leadership year after yeat.

These, plus more than a quarter of a century of building materials "know how," are the invaluable ingredients in every Celotex product.

They make a big difference in performance.. in long life and low cost maintenance. A difference that has proved its value on hundreds of thousands.of building jobs of every kind.

o

There aren't enough of these famous Celotex products to go around nou,-but steadily increasing production is making Celotex materials gradually available in larger quanticies.

New Western Pine Association Membership Directory

A new Wdstern Pine Association Membership Directory issued December L, 1946 lists 20 new members and shows 10 cancellations from the Association roster. This replaces the February 15, 1946 issue and gives current data for each of the mills included. In the Directory all information given is arranged and tabulated for convenience of reference" The names of member mills, located in ten Western States and British Columbia, are listed alphabetically by states. It shows the location of individual plants; the estimated capacity of mills for one 8-hour shift; the addresses of sales offices and production percentages of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and asso,ciated species. The data, arranged in tabular form, indicate the nature of the products of each operation, classified either as staple items or factory pro.ducts and specialties that are manufactured and handled.

Single copies of the Directory will be mailed free of charge upon request to Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.

Wilson-Horn

Miss Winnifred Horn of Cleveland, Ohio, and Charles Frederic Wilson, Jr. were married in Cleveland, December 21. Following their honeymoon they arrived in San Francisco January 8.

Mr. Wilson is well known in San Francisco lumber circles. He is in charge of the treated lumber and piling department of Pope & Talbot, Inc., Lumber Division.

Stancraft in Full Production

Roy Stanton, president, E. J. Stanton & Son, Inc., wholesale lumber distributors of Los Angeles, announced last week its Stancraft Sectional Units division is now in full production turning out twenty-five complete houses each week.

Many uses have been developed for this dwelling in Southern California which include automobile and bungalow courts for rental units and at this time many of these houses are being erected in the suburban communities by veterans rvho have been hard hit by the housing shortage in this area.

"The number of jobs that can be completed over a given period of time can be increased over six times by an alert building contractor as erection of the house can be predetermined," declared ,h: pr*td"", of the corporation.

Building Outlook Good For 1947

Washington, Jan. 8-The Commerce Department estimated today that 1,000,0@ new permanent dwelling units will be started during 1947, and that about 900,000 units will be completed by private builders during the year.

Last year, 675,000 units were started and about 450,000 completed.

Prospects for meeting the nation's construction industry goal of $15,000,000,000, 50 per cent higher than last year, were called favorable by John L. Haynes, chief of the construction division. Mr. Haynes estimated that another$6,500,000,000 to $7,000,000,000 will be spent in repair and maintenance.

The lumber market has not shown much change during the last two weeks, it is still confused and there is a wide variation between low and high prices, which are showing no signs of leveling off yet. Dealers are showing some resistance to the high prices. Most of the purchases at the peak prices are said to be going to builders who have structures urrder way and they want to get the jobs completed.

The larger manufacturers have been more conservative and still holding to moderate increases over the old ceiling prices for their stock but they are not selling or shipping much. The mills that are shipping considerable lumber are getting high prices.

The range in Douglas fir prices between low and high is about as follows: Dimension, No. 3 common and better, $15; boards, $15; No. 4 dimension anad boards, $18. For bundled uppers there is a spread of $35 between low and high, with fantastic offers being made by' some buyers to the mills. Lath is strong at $18 mill.

Red cedar shingle mill prices are reported firm at $13 for No. I : $10.50 fcr No. 2, and $5 for No. 3 and No. 4. California pine prices show a spread of $15 to $30 on some items. The mills are getting high offers for pine shop from buyers. Shop is averaging about $10 over the old ceiling price, and Selects about $30 over.

With production under normal Redwood prices are very firm. The range between low and high at the larger mills runs from $2 to $5 average on all grades for spot delivery, and most firms refuse to quote for delivery more than 3O days ahead. The variation in prices at the small Red-

wood mills is reported to run anywhere from $10 to $15 over the old ceiling prices.

Lumber shipments of 398 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 16.7 percent above production for the week ending December 28, 1946' The same week .new orders cf those mills were 1.7 percent above production. Unfilled order files of the reporting mills, amounted to 61 percent of stocks. For reporting softwoods mills, unfilled orders are equivalent to 23 daysz production at the current rate and gross stocks are equivalent to 37 d,a.ys' production.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended December 28, 84 mills reporting, gave orders as 35,106,000 feet, shipments 33,290,@0 feet, and production 23,485,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 158,330,000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended December 28, t39 mills reporting, gave orders as 48,418,000 feet, shipments 50,658,000 feet, and production 36,044,000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 432,219,N0 feet.

Portal-to-Portal Pay , ! r , An Editorial in

Considerable mystery attaches to this portal-to-portd pay system that our labor union brethren have discovered. Apparently, the contract signed between the boss and the worker has nothing to do with it. Even the intentions of the parties, as well known to both sides, have nothing to do with it.

It seems that a man who changes his pants before he goes to work does not change them to save his own pants. Under the new theory, he changes his pants for the benefit of the boss, and the boss has to pay for the pants-changing at the regular rate for repairing watches, or whatever the job may be.

Now, a 6-year-old boy can change his papts and walk from here to there. It doesn't sound like a very technical job to the amateur investigator. But it appears that for the business of walking from the boss''front door to the enrobing chambers, as the Supreme Court calls them, and changing there to working, clothes, and thence for walking to the work bench, or forge or whatever it is, the worker is entitled to pay at the skilled rate to which he attained before he found out that changing his pants was work.

This must be a part of the more abundant life that thc new deal discovered. Of course, a watch would be just as sound if repaired by a man who wore his Sunday Pants, while repairing it, and a ton of coal would be just as satisfactorily dug from its seam and loaded into its coal car if it had been handled in the top-ground clothing of the miner.

As to the miners, however, portal-to-portal pay is a legitimate item. Descending into the pit and walking long distances over wet and slippery footing are a real part of the hazards which make the pay of miners high, and if the workers and the boss bargain and contract to consider portal-to-portal pay a part of the agreement, justice has been done and the payment is a proper part of the cost of coal to the consumer.

On the other hand, in hundreds of industries, where the work has long since been done at an agreed rate of pay, where the pay has been tendered and accepted as payment in full, and the transaction has already been forgotten, it is no part of justice to go back and demand retroactive payment, on a penalty basis, for the portal-to-portal service which nobody involved ever intended to be a part of the

The Dallas News by Lynn \fl. Landrum

work day.

The decision of labor leaders to go after this sort of back pay and to ,collect what amounts to a penalty against the boss for a fault which wasn't his in payment of services never rendered is a decision which betrays a bad attitude of mind. It is a decision which says, for one thing, that the labor leaders regard all bosses as their natural enemies and fair game for any sort of attack that offers remote promise of success.

For another thing, the attitude shows no unwillingness whatever to demand as wages what is actually a form of racketeering, even if it has the apparent warrant of a Supreme Court decision. Demanding pay for work not performed looks no better and sounds no better for its documentation at the hands of the Supreme Court.

If'portal-to-portal pay on this exaggerated basis is right' why not extend the principle? Bus riding and streetcar time could be figured in. In New York commuting takes two to three hours out of the worker's day. And then there is shaving and hairdoing, shoe-shining and so on and on.

As a matter of fact, while we are mulcting the boss, we might as well charge him for a full day, from the time we get up in the morning until we get into bedtime gear and stretch out between the sheets again. Sheet-to-sheet paythat's the ticket !

If you take the Marxian doctrine to heart and believe that the boss is the natural enemy of the worker, if you believe that the wage system is a slave system, if you believe that the worker is compelled to surrender a part of his life substance each working day in order to obtain (in the form of wages) the privilege of remaining alive-if you believe all that, then you are the slave of the boss during every waking moment, and you can see your right to take from him all that you can manage to take.

According to Marx, the hired hand is a miserable wretch' Only in his dreams is he free. And if he has bad dreams, the boss ought to be made to pay for them, too. This is the sort of moonshine and madness which go to make up M.arxian Socialism. And this is the favor of the'labor leadership which would saddle upon industry a retroactive demand for a wage that labor itself never heard about until lately. And the trebling of the pretended back pay as a penalty is quite in the spirit of the whole mad business.

Don't get bitter; get mad, and fight !

Don't get bitter ! Don't be a quitter ! GET MAD!

"Get mad," he says. There's a thought there. A very wise man I know remarked the other day that the American nation has apparently lost its capacity for resentment.

He said ttrat if we would just get mad every time some enormous wrong is done us or threatened us, these wrong things would get mighty scarce. He thinks that in the horse-and-buggy days of this country no man or men or devil dared deliberately threaten us with disaster grim and great. I believe he's right.

Today such threats have become a national pastime. Warring elements fight each other THROUGH THE PUBLIC. Like the recent coal mine strike, the threatened railroad strike, and others. And instead of rising up in our wrath and kicking the enternal hades out of the makers of threats, we just fume, and fuss, and gripe. Maybe my friend is right, and what this counfty needs is to get back its capacity for resentment. And start resenting injuries.

Elliott Roosevelt, recently returned from Russia where in his talks he stuck out his neck so far it reached the North Pole, announces that he has not yet decided who he. will support politically. That gives the top politicians something to scramble for, each of them realizing that Elliott's opposition would probably cinch his election.

Don't let the evidence of much ready cash in the hands of John Public, fool you. Most of what the "little people" are spending now is their cashed-in war bonds. Soon they will be gone, and then a world of this apparent "demand" will evaporate. We saw a lot of that happen during the recent Christmas ""*ot.

Mentioned the late Jimmy Walker last issue. Probably the most quoted remark of the dapper ex-Mayor of New York was made at a banquet. He had the place of honorthe final speech on the program. But it so happened that a magnificent speaker immediately preceded him. So Jimmy said: "I wish I had been first, instead of last on this program. But even great men can't always be first. Take George Washington. He was first in war, first in peace' and first in the hearts of his countrymen-but he married a widow."

It has been frequently predicted that the new Congress would "open every session with a prayer and close it with a probe." I'm for that, brother. Not a vindictive or vengeful man as a rule, still it goes against my every fiber to think that all the infamies of the last twelve years should be glossed over and forgotten. If, as I believe, countless unforgettable and unforgivable governmental things were done in those twelve years, then justice demands that the great white light of pitiless publicity be thrown upon them. We may not be able to physically punish, but certainly we can fearlessly publicize. *{.*

"Let sleeping dogs lie," say thosq who would prevent the probes. That's a mighty poor way to train dogs. I shall not attempt to enumerate here all the things I would like to see investigated; it would require too much space. But I shall stand on the sidelines applauding if the work is well done. Start with the destruction of food in a hungry world, and come right on up through all the waste, the profligacy, the intrigue, the commercializing of everything from the White House down, the infiltration of subversives through all parts of the government, the weakening of the coLlrts, the wholesale dumping of our money, the weird doings of every sort by unfit men in high positions, etc., etc., etc. The list is like the little boy's hoop; there's no end to it. Let's have the facts. It is no longer dangerous, thank God, to tell the truth. Let those who danced so madly, step up and talk to the fiddler.

Just as an example, take sugar. The case of sugar is one of the lesser horrors that have been perpetrated upon us with probably no criminality involved; just a demonstration of stupidity and know-nothing-ism that baffles belief.

Plcnt Moved To New Location

Mangrum, Holbrook & Elkus, manufacturers of department store and drug store fixtures, recently moved their woodworking assembly plant and planing mill from the former locations to 2OO Paul Avenue, San Francisco, where they have 43,000 square feet of space.

Arnold Smith is manager of this company's woodworking division.

Here are the facts concerning the sugar shortage as I understand them, and I have seen and heard no contradiction of any of them. When we were killing six million pigs and a lot of cattle and plowing under cotton, we also plowed under most of a half-grown sugar crop in Louisiana. The planters had to plow under millions of dollars worth of sugar to get the government benefits. Also, the government imposed quotas on production of American sugar beets, and these were rigidly maintained, cutting sugar beet production to the marrow. When we got into the war in 1941 the official quotas were suspended, but we nullified this by manipulating subsidy payments and regulations so that farmers would lose money by increasing their sugar beet acreages'

When war broke the Philippine sugar production was cut off to the tune of about a million tons a year. This was a blow, following years of aborting and suborning sugar production here at home. So, to help things along, we made a deal with Cuba by which the sugar crop in that country was deliberately curtailed to an amount considerably greater than the Philippine sugar loss. Folly was heaped upon folly. Last year, 1946, with Americans clamoring for sugar, we shipped abroad 659,000,000 pounds of our scarce sugar. We let Yugoslavia, deliberate murderer of unarmed American airmen, have over 58 million pounds. Day after day, while American housewives lacked sugar for canning and preserving for home consumption, ships left United States ports carrying sugar to foreign shores. ***

Sugar is only a simple sample of the damnable things that have been done in late years, every one of which should be investigated and publicized. Some day we might even get an unbiased investigation of the Pearl Harbor horror,

Of all the wonders of the creation, nothing wps quite as wonderful, said the preacher, as the way the Lord named all the strange animals that came by. How did He know all them names? And how could He remember which names to call which animals? It was all too wonderful. He spent much time on the giraffe and the hippopotamus. FIow "de Lawd" knew the names

Portland, Ore., Jan. 3.-The Globe Distributing Company said today it was planning to barge lumber to Hawaii because of difficulty in obtaining steamship space.

The barges will carry heavy equipment to Los Angeles on the return trip.

The Rv-Lock Tension Screen

In their advertisement on another page of this issue the Ry-Lock Company, Ltd., 2485 Washington Avenue, San Leandro, announces the Ry-Lock Tension Window Screen, which they claim is a superior product because it is long lasting, non-staining, has good appearance, and uses aluminum screen cloth, which they believe is the finest screen material ever ofiered.

This company, in designing the new screen kept in mind the ideas of simplification, ease of handling, maximum service life, and top value, and to this end the RyLock product makes extensive use of aluminum, which has excellent corrosion-resistant properties in the alloys developed for outdoor exposure. This screen requires no painting, is light in weight, approximately two pounds, and is functionally strong. Its patented hardware assures positive and continuous tightness of the s'creen cloth.

An important feature is the ingehious adjustment bar that is part of the bottom or sill bar assembly, by means of which the screen can be adapted to the variances inherent in a windov. frame. Aluminum screen cloth does not cause unsightly stains under the window, and retains its tensile strength, thus eliminating sag.

Offered in all sizes, California and Modular, dealers and builders have been enthusiastic over its simplicity, low cost, and ease of installation. Home owners are impressed with the fact that the screens can be installed from inside the house, and that windows can be washed without removing them.

Ry-Lock screens are available only through authorized dealers.

1947 Plywood Production Will Approximate Highest Prewar Year

In a statement discussing conditions in the plywood industry, Lawrence Ottinger, president of the United States Plywood Corporation, states: "The plywood industry enters the new year with demand for all types far exceeding production.

"This condition is likely to prevail for a period of yeats excepting for a possible period of relatively short duration during which public resistance to the high price of building construction may temper the demand.

"Industrial requirements, however, are large while inventories in the warehouses of jobbers and dealers are almost at the vanishing point.

"Prices have advanced since the removal of OPA restrictions, moderately in most cases, though unfortunately some are taking advantage of existing 'conditions.

"Production of softwood plywood in 1947 will approximate 1,800 million feet on a /s-inch basis, which approximates the highest prewar year. Accurate production figures for hardwood plywood are not available, but they will probably be substantially higher than in any year before the war.

"'The improvement in plywood products and new uses developed during the war have generally broadened the market for plywood and allied laminates manufactured with synthetic resins."

Order L-359 Amended

Washington, D. C., December 30-Controls over housing construction lumber, millwork, and hardwood flooring are being modified by amendment of Order L-359, effective January 1,1947, the Civilian Production Administration announced today.

Although these materials are in for freer supply now than they were when controls first were imposed, requirements still exceed supply, and the order is being retained to assure that rated orders bearing housing and other priorities will be honored, officials of CPA said.

Amendments announced today are expected not only to supply the housing program but also to accelerate return to more noimal lumber production and distribution.

Principal changes are:

(1) Removal of reserves or setasides, except of shop lumber and hardwood flooring;

(2) Elimination of provisions requiring produ,ction of hardwood flooring lumber, although a sawmill is still required to produce 50 per cent of its total softwood lumber production in housing construction lu:nber;

(3) Sawmills and distributors are no longer required to hold housing construction lumber or hardwood flooring lumber for a set period of time and lumber may be delivered on unrated orders where such deliveries do not interfere with deliveries on rated orders; however, hardwood flooring lumber and certain kinds of shop lumber are still to be sold to specified persons; and

When Damon Runyon died the other day, he left behind a heritage. He was a great reporter, humorist, writer of every day things, but likewise he was no mean poet. Two of his little poems, written when he uras a sports writer in New York, have been quoted more than any others of their kind ever written, and some of the lines have become national by-words. Here they are:

"Six Rivers" Name of California's Eighteenth National Forest

Six Rivers National Forest will be the name of the Federal unit recently established in the northern Coast Range of California, according to announcement by Perry A. Thompson, California regional forester, U. S. Forest Service. The new forest was formed by the consolidation of 900,000 acres previously included in three long-established national forests.

Significance of the name, which was selected in Washington by Lyle Watts, chief forester, from a number of local suggestions, lies in the fact that the watersheds of six important North Coast rivers are located in the timbered areas embraced by the forest: Smiths, Klamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen, and Eel Rivers.

The name was origina,lly suggested by Peter B. Kyne, well-known San Francisco author of "Cappy Ricks," "Valley of the Giants," and many other popular books. Numerous names were suggested to the Forest Service, most of them honoring early explorers of the region such as Jedediah Smith, Josiah Gregg, and Lewis K. Wood, or referring to Indian tribes such as the Yuroks. llowever, it was finally decided that the logical name is "Six Rivers," because the six rivers drain all of the forest and are important features in the topography and economy of the area.

The Six Rivers National Forest, with headquarters at Eureka, is in charge of Supervisor William F. Fischer. It is the 18th national forest in California and the 159th national forest in the United States.

Forest Service Announces Hearing on San Gorgonio Proposal

San Francisco, Dec. 1l-Regional Forester P. A. Thompson of the California Region, U. S. Forest Service, announced today that in response to public demand the Forest Service proposes to modify the boundaries of the San Gorgonio Primitive Area in the San Bernardino National Forest to permit its development for winter recreation.

He added that a hearing will be held in San Bernardino at ten o'clock, February 19, 1947 at the Municipal Auditorium, Pioneer Park, Sixth and E Streets. This meeting has been called in accordance with Forest Service regulations, which also require ninety days' public notice before any changes are made in primitive area boundaries.

The Forest Service proposes to modify the boundaries of the 35,635-acre primitive area so that the snow slopes of San Gorgonio, highest peak south of the Tehachapis, may be developed for winter recreation. In its present status no improvements can be provided, no permanent structures built. and no roads constructed within the area.

Probable First Quarter1947 Production-Consumption of Western Pine

Portland, Ore., Dec. 3I,1946.- An analysis of the fourth quarter L946 manuf.acture of Idaho White pine, ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated woods and probably first quarter 1947 production-consumption was released today by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager, Western Pine Association. The statement in full is as follows :

"It was predicted last September 30th that the 1946 performance of the Western Pine industry would surpass that of any peace-time year in its history. preliminary figures indic4te even greater accomplishment. The estimated 1946 regional production of 5Bd0 million feet not only exceeds that of any year prior to l94l but equals the average annual output of the five war years 1941 to 1945 inclusive. The 1946 shipments of 5230 million are also greater than those of any peace-time year and are only about 5/o under the annual average Lor l94I to t94S inclusive when shipments were greatly in excess of production due to the more than 900 million feet reduction in stocks during that period.

"Regional stocks on December 31, 1946 will appargntly total 104O million feet. This is an increase of 132 million, or about 15/o; over those on hand a year ago. Elowever, current stocks are only 57/o of. December 3I, lg10 inventories and bat 42/o of those on the same date back in 1929.

"The general business outlook over the short term is not definite. The decontrol of prices, the rapid elimination of other controls, and the improved stature of the nerv Congress are encouraging factors. 'As for lumber, these will not so much effect total output as the production bf needed items and as the logical distribution of the pro_ duct. Based on general factors and all other available information, it now seems probable that during the first quarter of.1947, shipments'(consumption) of lumber by the 'Western Pine industry will approximate l?-A0 million feet or about 25/o more than for the same 1946 quarter.,,

Lumber Moves Forward A Review of Lumbcr Industry Accomplishments in 1946 and Prospects for 1947

Bv R. A. Colgan, Jr., Executive Vice President National Lumber Manulocturers Association

In contrast to set-,backs sufiered during the year in many lines of business, 1946 was a year of comeback for the lumber industry, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association said today in a yearend review.

Plagued early in the period by an assortment of difficulties, including labor trouble and price ceiling paralysis, the industry shook itself free, buckled down, and turned out forecast-shattering production. Instead ol the 24 billion foot production anticipated in April, it ended the year with 31 billion feet of lumber cut.

The.year saw real progress being made toward the end of the lumber shortage.

It saw record-making numbers of logs cut and in the rivers.

It saw mills turn out boards beyond the capacity of railroads and shipping lines to transport them.

It saw the building industry scratch construction lumber off the list of its problems.

ft saw lumber producers demonstrate again that their industry has the capacity to meet the nation's needs, even under extreme difficulties.

Lumber Demand HeavY

For lumbermen, 1946 opened with a barrage of demand. The men planning the veterans' housing program in Washington set their sights high. It was houses by the millions they talked about. Heavy construction, freed temporarily from war-time controls, was booming along with amazing acceleration. There were big plans afoot. The eyes of the planners turned to the lumber manufacturers.

Could the industry come through needed? the quantities

ft was a tough question. There were strikes in that great natural stockpile of trees, the Pacific Northwest. OPA-ism was strangling many producers. The hangover from war controls was complicated by new shots of channeling grders for the housing program.

It looked pretty tough-so tough in fact that in April the forecast for annual production in 1946 was the worst in years, despite the 40-bitlion-feet capacity of our mills.

A Year Of Difficulties

The demand for lumber was there and the response was rapid. But it was a response that had to overcome one set of troubles after another. While 1946 was a year of accomplishment, it was also a year of tribulations.

The list of troubles was long. First were strikes in produ'cing areas. Then the ever-present OPA-ism began to cut deeper. As demand rose, pricing difficulties increased. The pernicious "bulk-line" poli'cy of the OPA, holding that only 75 per cent of the industry needed to break even or make a profit, was a millstone around the neck of production. Relief was laggard.

Then came the bright-eyed ideas in the housing pfogram -thechanneling, the subsidies, the set-asides, the priorities and the welter of regulation that piled snow-drifts of government forms around the struggling mills. One bad decision from Washington was relieved by two worse ones, until logs that should have been going into lumber for scarce dcors were being cascaded into over-abundant plywood, the scarce oak boards that should have been manufactured into flooring were being used to shore sewer ditches or for concrete forms.

On top of this was the rumbling menace of the WagnerEllender-Taft general housing bill with its burgeoning controls and promise of a socialized construction industry.

Logs Start Moving

Time and an outworn public patience took care of many of these troubles. Despite the deadening hand of bureau-

cracy, the. industry hammered away at its job and lumber came out. By mid-summer, record-bredking amounts of logs were moving to mills and the saws were turning out huge supplies of construction lumber. By fall, even Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt declared that lumber production no longer was a problem.

fn fact, the resurgence of construction lumber actually led to trouble in the housing program. Builders could get framing lumber, so they put up the shell of their houses, roofed them in and then got stuck because they couldn't get plumbing, soil pipe, electrical wiring, heating equipment or similar iterns. Millwork and trim also was short because of the complete pricing paralysis that had descended upon millwork manufacture with OPA. But by the year's end even this was improving.

Distribution still remained a trouble spot. Three major factors contributed here. One was the nation-wide shortage of iailroad cars that curtailed movement frbm mills to distributing yards. Contributing to the war-caused shortage were strikes that tied up the unloading of thousands of freight cars, and the dislocations resulting from basic industry walkouts. The west coast maritime strikes cut off completely the normal shipment of western fir to the east coast. But fundamentally, the hit-and-run OPA pricing policy and efforts by CPA to channel distribution made inevitable the breakdown of normal distribution through retail yards.

. Lumber Research Is Active

But all was not dark. In the field of research, the lumber industry forged ahead. The hardwood research program carried out by the NLMA and its affiliate, the Timber Engineering Company, developed an imposing list of new products and uses for hardwood products. In addition, it carried out lines of research in other woods that bear considerable promise for the future.

The NLMA set two major goals in its research program. One was to develop greater markets for wood by increasing the products that can be obtained from a tree. Here, emphasis was put on utilizing mill wastes. The highest goal in this approach is a variation of the well-knourn meat packing slogan about using everything but the squeal. Translated into lumbering terms, the slogan is "Leave only the Leaves."

The other general objective of lumber research was.to work out new processes on a scale that could be utilized by the smaller units in the lumbering industry.

Many New Products Started

Along this line, the NLMA research program developed wallboard and floor tiles obtained from hardwood wastes. It opened pulp operations as a new field for hardwood. Flitherto no one had developed a pulping process for hardwood wastes. Now ready for pilot plant operations, the hardwood pulp process offers an opportunity of great potential value for hardwood areas where wastes were just that and nothing more. Nitric acid pulping work also was put under way so that hardwood wastes might yield a product useful for high grade paper, rayon, cellophane and special synthetic resins.

Another project marked down for considerable use in the future was the development of laminated hardwood rolls for printing and other machinery. For the first time, the long, tedious process of seasoning solid rolls for printing wallpaper was short-circuited by building rolls from laminated wood. Not only is this significant for wallpaper producers, but has much meaning to many other industries using wood rolls, such as in agricultural implements, hitherto dependent upon hard-to-obtain solid rolls.

Swelling And Shrinkage

A big step was made in developing water resistance for wood. Prevention'of shrinking and swelling of wood is highly important as anyone with a jammed door or dresser knows. Now, thanks to TECO and NLMA research,,processes are available that will make wood a relatively stable substance in the presence of moisture.

Tlre practicality of this is shown by treatment of doors with a finish developed by TECO for navy flares dropped in the ocean. The finish made the flares impervious to the extreme moisture and heat of the South Pacific, and proved top-flight for doors, too. Samples of door construction treated with the substance turned out to be almost perfect even.after being submerged in water.

Colored Wood Coming

Among other research accomplishments chalked up by the inddstry in 1946 were cigarette burn proof table and furniture tops (you can snuff out a lighted cigarette on the high finish without the slightest mar); and quick setting glues that require no heating and gain woodstrength in less than 10 minutes. Compregnation and impregnation of wood to increase its hardness is the key here. And in the field of color, the lumber researchers now (Contintied on Page 27)

1946 Los Angeles' Greatest Buifding Year

Los Angeles' building permits for 1946 reached a recordbreaking valuation of $220,696,042, despite the many governmental restrictions, according to G. E. lVlorris, superintendent of building. The 1945 total was $85,212,656 by comparison.

The former all-time peak year was 1923 when building permits totaled $200,183,i81.

53,027 building permits were issued \n 1946. It has been exceeded only once in Los Angeles, 1923, when 62,548 permits werc issued, but Mr. Morris explained that in those days a building permit was required for any construction costing $20 or more, whereas today the minimum figure is $50.

"Construction of all kinds in Los Angeles undoubtedly will run into billions in the next few years, when the free operation of supply and demand, coupled with ample materials, and absenses of governmental interference, gets a chance," said Mr. Morris. "Housing of all types is acutely needed, as everyone knows, while in the industrial and mercantile categories the piled-up backlog is truly enormous."

The building department's year-end report showed that 23,052 family accommodations will be provided in the city through building permits approved last year for the erection of single homes and multiple rental structures. The 1945 total was 6.192.

The 1946 totals of permits issued for various classifications of residential construction f ollow: One-family dwellngs, 13,819 with a valuation oI $77,029,218; multiple structures, 1537 amounting to $5,135,212; apartments, 838 valued at $18,146,675.

Expansion of \7ood Preserving Industry Expected in 1947

Chicago, Ill., January l.-The largest expansion in the history of the nation's wood-preserving industry can be expected to clccur in 1947, J. F. Linthicum, Chicago, president of the American Lumber and Treating Co., reported today. More new pressure-treating capacity will be placed in operation during the next twelve months than any previous year, he said.

Composed now of more than 180 plants, the number of new units now under construction indicates that the industry will grorv by the addition of at least 14 plants during 1947, Mr. Linthicum said. His own organization, which operates 10 plants thoughout the country, will put two of the largest new units into production next year-one at Baltimore, Md., and the other at Everett, Wash. The greatest previous growth occurred ln 1928 when 11 wood-preserving plants were opened.

Output of treated forest products in 1947 will probably top the preceding year, he said, if lumber production continues upward and treating chemicals, principally creosote, become more plentiful. Final figures for 1946 are expected to show that more than 3r/a billion board feet of wood was chemically-alloyed to resist fire, rot and insects.

IJnless the nation's coal situation is stabilized, however, railroads and public utilities may be unable to carry out long deferred maintenance and badly needed expansion for lack of vital creosote cross ties and electrical transmission poles, Mr. Linthicum cautioned.

The normal flow of creosote, a by-product of coke manufacture, from the steel industry to r.vood-preserving plants has been crippled by past coal strikes, he explained. In addition, foreign imports usually accounting for approximately 27 per cent of the United States creosote consumption, have fallen far below prewar levels.

Lumber Moves Forward

Outlook Good For 1947

The lumber outlook for 1947 is bright, the NLMA says. The supply of trees is in excellent shape, with new growth approximately equalling total drain. This significant fact, backed by U. S. Forest Service figures, has largely been lost to sight in the welter of conservation argument for more federal forest control. But, according to Forest Service studies, the growing of trees is increasing as an enterprise. The treating of trees as a crop has prdouced the "Tree Farm" movement sponsored by the American Forest Products Industries, Inc. "Tree Farms" are growing by leaps and bounds, and range in size anyrvhere from five acres to 700,000. The AFPI reports close to 13 million acres of tree farms in 15 states, with other states lining up to join the movement.

Plenty Of Trees For Tomorrow

The significance of the small woodlands movement, and particularly the growing of trees by farmers is seen in Forest Service figures showing that approximately 22 per cent of our lumber now comes from farm rvoodlands. Under the impetus of "Grow More Trees" and "Keep Green" campaigns carried on by the forest industries, the small holdings are on the increase and are making increasingly important contributions to the supply of lumber. The tree farm movement of AFPI, for example, was started in 1941 and has g'rown to the 13 million acre mark since.

The strides of the research prog'ram, the progress of tree farming, the healthy relationship between forest drain and forest growth, the one trillion, 600 billion feet of standing sawtimber, the relaxation of war and postwar controls, the ability of the industry to keep up with demand, all contribute to optimism on the part of lumber producers.

"The lumber shortage," says NLMA, "is over."

Better Building Values In Prospect

New York, December 31-Much better value for the home builder's dollar is in prospect for the spring and summer of. 1947, according to L. M. Cassidy, vice president for sales, Johns-Manville Corporation, in a year-end review of the building industry.

- "The real trend in construction costs actually started down around July, 1946, according to industry economists," Mr. Cassidy said. "A lower building costs level is now in prospect for the spring of. 1947, and this should enable prospective builders and home buyers to proceed now on delayed plans because the downward adjustment in building costs will already have taken place by spring."

Mr. Cassidy said that 1947 might well register as one of the biggest peacetime construction years on record, with twice as many homes completed as in 1946. Indications are, he said, that a possible cause for delays in 1947 might come from a shortage of skilled workers rather than a lack of building materials. Better values will come from quicker construction, elimination of any black market prices, a better organized distribution of materials and increased efficiency of workers, despite wage increases and higher costs of some materials.

The excessive costs of building during 1946, he said, were forced on the public by disorganization due to unrealistic governmental controls of industry, many of which have now been lifted. As many of the reasons for excessive costs have disappeared, the trend of real building costs is downward and is or will be in the spring, at a much lower

level from which point it is possible it may start to rise.

Mr. Cassidy pointed out that the prospect of lower building costs in 1947 might vanish and, in fact, costs might rise sharply, if a wave of strikes or sharply increased wage levels disorganize our national industrial pattern.
