"One of the finest building materials ever used in all the west !"-that's what many able construction authorities say about Monolith WatcrprooJ Plastic Cement!

It has improvements beyond ordinary cements that help to give complete satisfaction. Used as concrete or mortar this Monolith Cement is waterproof to the highest possible degree. Tested in leading laboratories against competitive cements and oJob" tested too, the water-repellent, water-tight quality of Monolith defies comparison, This is the result of a special patented process of manufacture and not the result of adding foreign ingredients at the time of mixing. You'll find it pays to specify Monolith VaterprooJ Plastic Cement. It costs no more to get the best !

MAKE fHlS fESf-Take a handful of ordinary plastic or even so.called waterproof cement. Sprinkle a few drops of water on it. Notice how other brands absorb or cloud the water. See how Monolith repells the water, like a duck's back, leaving it crystal+lear

THE CALIFOR}.IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

Cooperate With Rubber Conseryation Program

fn a recent bulletin to members, Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California has this to say regarding the conservation of rubber: "To cooperate with the rubber conservation program it is suggested that dealers, in their local communities, should make provision for more strict regulations governing their deliveries. Perhaps i program could be worked out to provide that deliveries of small quantities could be made at certain times during the day, much as department stores have done in the past. Perhaps a minimum charge would also help to eliminate thoughtless ordering, and doing away with Saturday deliveries may work in some localities. Cooperation on such a program would meet with public approval and rvould be a desirable economy."

California Pine mills are reminding their customers that it will be necessary to hold lumber orders to be shipped by truck to an absolute minimum of 40,000 lbs., because of the weight restrictions placed upon truckers by the State and Federal Governments to conserve tires and equipment.

There is no ban on the sale of retreaded, recapped and used tires at the present time. OPA has established a price ceiling for retreaded and recapped tires and retreadable tire carcasses which became effective on January 19, and a ceiling will be placed on used tires in the near future.

California retread firms are doing a "hotcake" business and it is no longer a Z4-hour job to have your machine fixed up with retreads. One Los Angeles dealer stated a few days ago that they had 6000 tires waiting to be retreaded and their daily capacity is only 150. Another large Los Angeles retread merchant, who had just returned from Washington conferences said: "It is my belief that there will be plenty of rubber to go around if people will just be patient."

Seattle, Washington, Jan. t5, I942.-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in December (5 weeks) was 134,290,000 board feet, or 84.3 per cent of estimated capacity. Orders averaged 177,58/J,m board feet; shipments, tD,748,000. Weekly averages for November were: production, 154,549,W board feet (78.5 per cent of the 1926-1929 average) ; orders, 136,213,W; shipments, 141,542,M.

53 weeks of. 1941, cumulative production, 8,721,112N0 board f.eet; 52 weeks 1940,-7,0%,855,000; 52 weeks, 1939, -4,426,95r.

Orders for 53 weeks of. l94I break down as follows: rail, 5,279,265,0@ board feetl domestic cargo, 2,197,741,CfJl0; export, 237,764,000 ; local, 1,200,598,000

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 827,161,000

Oh beautiful emblem of Liberty tree, Oh star-spangled Flag of the Land of the Free; I love thee, Old Glory, with love that's as true And pure as the stars in the heavenly blue. There's no flag like my flag, there's no fag like thineOh patriots, countrymen, comrades of mine'Tis kissed by God's breezes, by angels caressed, Beloved by the North, by the South, East and West; And each brilliant star shooting forth when unfurled, Sends flashes of hope to oppressed of the world.

-By Capt. Jack Crawford, the Poet Scout. :8'F*

The gag is going the rounds that Berlin will soon have the biggest population of any city on earth-when the Russians get there.

The Scotchman, so the story goes, had just listened to a rendition of the very beautiful war song, "There'll Always Be An England," and was heard to remark: "Why, to be sure there'll always be an England. No true Scot can doot it. For what is England, anyway, but the Southern tip o' Scotland? And of course everyone knows there'll always be a Scotland."

Music is playing a splendid part in building up war morale in this country. There are some wonderful songs, and many wonderful singers. With no notion of low-rating anyone's favorite singer of war songs, I wish'to cast my vote for Frank Parker singing "Th'ere'll Always Be An Enghnd," and also singing "God Bless America." He sorta sets your heart on fire with either one. And if you're looking for a phonograph record with a beautiful song tinged with the promise of victory in the voice of the singer, listen to a Victor Record by Sammy Kay's orchestra, "The White Cliffs of Dover." It's really something.***

Music plays a much greater part than does either the printed or spoken word when it comes to thrilling human beings on the subject of war. Yet it must be a&nitted that the address that Prime Minister Churchill delivered to the American Congress was a soul-stirring thing. I heard it on the radio, then heard parts of it several times on the screen. But a friend of mine who is a good judge of oratory and of human emotion who sat in the gallery and listened

to that speech tells me that the effect of it could not be overestimated. With a voice far from musical, but with magnificent diction, that little British patriot sends forth thoughts of glory clothed in words of fire that make his hearers thrill as never before in their lives at the spoken word. The very vigor of his words and phrases are historical.

There are critics today who express the belief that Churchill's place in the field of oratory may be an even higher one, when history is written, than his place as statesman or patriot; and no reflection on his statesmanship or patriotism- He is simply one of the super orators of the world's history. Some say he ranks with Demosthenes, and Cicero, and Patrick Henry. Anyway, it's a tremendous thing to hear him; something never to be forgotten. ***

He fairly filled the hearts of his hearers to bursting when he made that dramatic statement about America having drawn the sword and thrown away the scabbard. It brought his hearers to their feet. They were quoted words, of course, the words that the great English historian Macaulay wrote about a mighty English warrior of other days, John Hampden. Macaulay wrote these vital words about John Hampden: "\i[/hen he drew the sword, he threw away the scabbard; he knew that the essense of war is violence, and that moderation in war is imbecility."

That phrase is worth ,""Ut", over and over again in these days of world war. "The essence of war is violence, and moderation in war is imbecility." Truly that statement must likewise be the first paragraph on the first page of Nazi and Jap, for the essence of their form of warfare is truly violence, and moderation is unknown to them. Of course they go even farther than that. As a well known football writer said the day after Pearl Harbor: "The Japs threw away the rule book, and ran with the ball before the game started." And so now America and England both have thrown away the scabbard, and in their preparations to achieve victory have announced that they also lrrow the essence of war, and the imbecility of moderation.

Early in the progress i; irr,"ri""r, Civit War, someone remarked to Abraham Lincoln during a war confer-

ence: "\il'e trust, Sir, that God is on our side." And slowly and thoughtfully, Lincoln replied: "It is inore important, Sir, to know if we are on God's side."

The American nation ," *"Ur* and hearing much these days about the late "Billy" Mitchell. A well known writer, commenting on the sinking of the Prince of Wales and the Repulse a few weeks ago, said: "Battleships are now worth about fifty bucks apiece." It was for saying about that same thing a few years back that "Billy" Mitchell, of the air arm of the United States Army, was court-martialed. Now the nation is officially and otherwise apologizing to 'the shade of "Billy" Mitchell, and admitting that he was probably the most definite and dramatic prophet in all our history. What happened to the Prince of Wales and the Repulse is just about what "Billy" Mitchell insisted could and should happen when sea and air power met. But, as the Bible said about another prophet, "they laughed Him to scorn."

t<**

I am sure that from somewhere afar off the shade of "Billy" Mitchell is watching the fulfillment of his prophecies with some sort of satisfaction. I can't help feeling that he is in touch with the situation. And that from now on the nation he served and loved and was punished for telling the truth to, will be more partial to prophets, in spite of the Biblical warning that prophets "shall not be without honor save in their own country." No doubt the lesson that he tried to teach his generation will be finally well Iearned.

Nail Quota Raised to 1OO% of 1940 Shipments

The priorities program for steel warehouses put in effect by OPM last September was designed to assist warehouses in handling various types of steel products, among them being certain "merchant" products, which included nails, fencing, and other steel products handled by lumber dealers.

The original OPM orders complicated the dealers' ability to obtain these products in two respects:

(1) Quotas were set up which purported to provide a means whereby the dealer could purchase 70 per cent of certain steel products based on purchases in corresponding quarters of 194O. Established dealer purchasing policies and the factor of supply and demand made this an unsatisfactory method of securing dealer requirements.

(2) Many dealers were unable to establish for themselves quotas of these various products by reason of the fact that their normal sources of supply were no longer producing them.

This latter difficulty has been cleared up by the issuance of the attached form, PD-83-e, which provides a means whereby a dealer or jobber may transfer a

quota from one producer to another, upon securing the proper signatures and acceptance of the quota, as indicated by the form.

The following features are of particular interest in the amended Order:

(1) Under Schedule B products (formerly termed "merchant products"), the quota of nails and three other items has been raised to 1(X} per cent of 19,10 shipments, as compared with a previous quota of 7O per cent. The quota of. galvanized sheet and strip has been raised from 50 per cent to 70 per cent.

(2) A warehouse is permitted to base its quarterly quota for any Schedule B product (nails, etc.) in one of two ways:

(A) The warehouse may assume that his quota of the various items is to be based on the purchases made in the corresponding calendar quarter of. I94O.

Example A

194O purchases of nails 1st qtr.- None

Znd qtr.- 50O tons

3rd qtr.- 500 tons

4th qtr.- 200 tons

Total 1200 tons

1942 deliveries would be on same basis for each quarter.

(B) The warehouse may elect, by written notice to his supplier on or before February l, 1942, to have delivered to him in each quarter of the year,25 percent of the total purchases made in 19CI.

Example B

194O purchases of nails lst qtr.- None

2nd qtr.- 500 tons

3rd qtr.- 500 tons

4th qtr.- 200 tons

Total 1200 tons

A Courteous Chinaman Explains \(/hv Advertise That You Have a Subttitute He is Late Getting Shakes For Many Critical Materials

W. B. Jefferson, owner of The Greater City Lumber Company, a retail lumber yard in San Francisco, sends us the original of a letter he recently got, that seems well worth printing. It seems that some time ago he sold an order of Shakes to a Chinaman, who made a substantial payment in cash on them, and was supposed to come and pick them up. Several months passed and the buyer did not appear, so Mr. Jefferson wrote him a letter urging him to come and get them out of the rvay, and followed it up with another letter of the same sort. Right quickly he got back this little gem, written in long hand:

The Greater City Lumber Co.

Dear Sirs

Your letters of December 5 last and Jan. 5 instant requesting about shakes when i going take haul. I regret to say owing recent month the weather rainy very often not so good to start build house in consideration with measure that rather temporary borrow your yard for this shakes stored until rainy season over then i come to take home use. An second letter received here the day urgent me to take the shakes, however. I will find room put them and send truck up to haul within this or next week. Thanks for the storage of shakes you being allowance.

Yours Truly, Loo Fong.

Washington, January 10-The retail lumber merchant who will take advantage of the favorable breaks in the current re-allocation of America's basic material resources may find many opportuniiies to convert his trade and hold up volume.

The building material merchant generally is in a more favorable position than retail outlets which deal exclusively in materials covered by priorities. Forest products and many other basic building materials are not now and are not likely to be restricted. Dealers should advertise this fact.

Almost anything can be made out of wood. By proclaiming this fact loudly and often, the dealer may be responsible for converting many users of restricted metals to wood and thus find new customers. He should advertise the fact that he sells a non-critical material. Some alert dealers are already doing it. H. J. Butler & Bro., Inc., New York City, for instance, says in newspaper copy:

"'We are prepared to manufacture to your special requirements any items that can be made of lumber as a substitute for metals. Call for our representative to discuss your specific needs."

The Can Do's and the Can't Do's

By Jack Dionne

We discussed last issue in a general way what the retail lumber dealer can do under these war conditions-and what he cannot.

As this is being written, American boys are fighting and dying on the other side of the world in order that this nation may live. So let us begin with the assumption that we, who still live in our homes and go about our accustomed ways of life, are going to accept the trials that come to us, not only willingly but pridefully, and just do our durndest to help keep things right side up.

Right now we have warlike rules, regulations, and restrictions with regard to building, and it needs no prophet to declare that there will be others to come as the war effort speeds up. So it might be well to follow the advice of one William Shakespeare when he said "-awake your senses that you may the better judge."

Open a book on your desk so that two blank pages face one another. At the top of the left-hand page write the heading-"CAN'T DO"-and at the top of the right-hand page write-"CAN DO."

IJnder "CAN'T DO" put down the rules, regulations, restrictions, etc., that now affect the free progress of the retail lumber business. As new ones come in-and they will -add them to this list. Put these rules down in your mind as well as in your book. Stick to these rules. Respect them. Uphold them. Publicize them.

Under "CAN DO" put down those activities of the retail lumber dealer which are in no manner interfered with by war rules or regulations. Apply these "CAN DO'S" to your stocks, to your services, and to your business efforts, AND GET BUSY DOING THE THINGS YOU CAN.

Quit? Of course you won't have to quit!If you quit doing business, how could you employ your people, pay your taxes, buy bonds? No, friends, this war has got to be won at home, as well as abroad. The "CAN'T DO'S" lay down the pattern inside which you may operate your "CAN DO'S." But there is plenty of room within that pattern for you to do a lot of business, and give your trade a lot of service.

Remember, your trade and your customers need your advice NOW, in this time of emergency, more than they ever have before. YOU are the one to tell them IF and HOW they may obtain their building needs. THEY won't know what the regulations and restrictions are. But YOU will. And it is YOUR job to keep yourself informed-both as to what you CAN and CAN'T do-so that you can keep your trade informed and advised. It is YOUR job to apply every bit of brains, and intelligence, and common sense, and merchandising ability that you possess in order that you may do all the business you possibly can WITHIN THE RULES. You must know all that a man can do and what he can do it with, about repairs, improvements, and additions to existing structures; what can and cannot be done with regard to "critical materials." You must know what you can and cannot do in both defense and non-defense areas. In fact, there never was a time before when the retail lumber dealer needed to be so well informed about his business and so thoroughly on his toes, as he does today.

The good and the bad that happens to a retail lumber dealer this year is going to depend just as much on his own intelligence and activity as on the rules and restrictions that war thrusts upon him. I-et the "CAN DO'S and the "CAN'T DO'S" be your working chart.

Retreaded,Recapped and Uscd Tires Can Still be Sold, OPA Director Sayt

San Francisco, Jan. 17.-"Retreaded, recapped and used tires can be sold at present."

That was the statement made here today by Harry Camp, regional director of the Office of Price Administration, following reports that some dealers are withholding from sale tires in these classifications.

Camp pointed out that OPA had established a price ceiling for "retreadable" tire carcasses and retreaded and recapped tires, effective Monday, January 19, but that no ban had been placed on the sale of them. A ceiling price will be imposed on used tires in the near future, Camp disclosed.

Effective next Monday, Camp said, each retreaded or recapped tire sold must be accompanied by a statement to the purchaser reciting rvhether the tire has been retreaded, top capped, orfull capped; the market price of camelback used; and the depth of the non-skid tread at the center of the tire after completion of retreading or recapping.

All sellers of retreads and recaps, Carnp added, after 8 a.m. next Monday are required to post a list of maximum prices as determined by the emergency schedule. A copy of the OPA maximum prices for such sizes of tires he handles or such types of retreading or recapping operations'he may perform.

The schedule also has provisions to prevent the charging of unreasonable prices for special services, such as changing tires, and extending credit.

Camp declared that records must be kept by sellers of the sales of basic tire carcasses, and of retreaded and recapped tires, as well as for retreading and recapping work done. These records must include the date of sale, name and address of the purchaser, price per unit, market price of camelback used and the depth of non-skid tread at the center of the tire.

OPA Acts to Stabilize Retread Materials

Washington, D. C., Jat. l9.-Ceiling prices for the three grades of tire retreading material known as "camelback" that OPM has ruled are the only grades that may be manufactured hereafter, were established, in effect, today in telegrams sent out by Leon Henderson, administrator of the Office of Price Administration.

A formal schedule of maximum prices for camelback is being prepared and rvill be issued in the near future. In the meanwhile, according to the telegrams, producers are requested not to charge more than 28 cents a pound for camelback containing 57 per cent to 62 per cent crude rubber, 23 cents a pound for the grade containing 38 to 40 per cent and 18 cents a pound for the grade containing not over 20 per cent.

These maximum prices correspond to prevailing market levels for equivalent grades.

Censored

(Written and published in 1918 by Eddie Guest.)

When Mrs. Malone got a letter from Pat, She started to read it aloud in her fat.

"Dear Mary" it started "I can't tell ye much I'm somewhere in France and we're fighting the Dutch, I'rn choking with news that I'd like to relate, But it's little a soldier's permitted to state. Do ye mind Red McPhee? Well, he fell in a ditch, And busted an arm-but I can't tell ye which.

"An' Patrick O'Hara was caught in a fame, An' rescued by-faith, I can't tell ye his name. Last night I woke up wid a terrible pain; I thought for a while it would drive me insane. Oh, the sufferin' I had was most painful to bear, I'm sorry, my dear, but I can't tell ye where. The doctor he gave me a pill, but I find. ft's against all the rules to disclose here the kind.

"I've been to the dentist an'had a tooth out, I'm sorry to leave ye so shrouded in doubt, But the best I can say is that one tooth is gone, The censor won't let me inform ye which one. f met a young doctor who knows ye right well, An' ye know him, too, but his name I can't tell; He's Irish, redheaded, and there with the blarney, His folks once knew your folks way back in Killarney."

"By gorry" said Mrs. Malone, in her flat, "ft's hard to make sense out of writin' like that; But I'll give him as good as he sends, that I will," So she went right to work with her ink well and quill.

High School Graduates Wanted for Forestry Training

San Francisco, Jan. 22._lJigh school graduates are wanted by the IJ. S. Forest Service for vocational forestry training and for defense jobs in the woods according to an announcement by U. S. Regional Forester S. B. Show.

The Mt. Shasta Vocational Forestry School at the NYA Resident Center will open a training course in February for qualified high school graduates with an interest in forestry and lumbering. The summer term will be spent by qualified students as forest guards in actual work of fire protection in the State.

Applicants must be between the ages ol 17 and 24, unmarried and in good physical condition. Transportation to the school and return will be paid by the NYA, text books are free and there is no tuition charge. While attending regular sessions students will be paid $30 a month for 60 hours' work, from which $22 is deducted for board. Additional time is available for related school courses. Interested high school graduates and students graduating this month should address communications to Forestry Resident Project, care U. S. Forest Service, Mt. Shasta City, California. The spring semester will begin January 26 and enrollments will close February 15.

The Vocational Forestry School was established at Mt. Shasta City so that youths may earn their living expenses while studying forestry and related vocations while attending school under the supervision of NYA and Forest Service officers. It gives practical work experience to forestry students, and also affords them opportunity to orient themselves.

Fir Door Price Schedule Amended

The Of6ce of Price Administration has amended the Douglas Fir Door Price Schedule to allow jobbers a 2 per cent better discount than that permitted dealers, the purpose of the allowance being to "preserve the usual distributive practices in the industry."

The amendment, which will become effective January 1, 1942, makes the following changes:

1. Manufacturers are permitted to charge a 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 ol 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-Il7l raised panel house doors is increased from 1O cents to 25 cents.

3. Maximum price of one type of garage doors is lowered by 50 cents for the I/s" 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 rec,ords of all sales or purchases made during that month.

Administrator Leon Henderson stated that the modification of the basic discount provision was made to preserve usual distributive practices in the industry. He added that to enable OPA to determine whether manufacturers are complying with the new provision all manufacturers have been requested to furnish either a complete list of buyers

who received the maximum prevailing discounts during tl-re first nine months of the year, or a list of persons rvho during that period purchased at a shorter discount.

The maximum prices f.o.b. factory shall be determined by applying the following discounts to the list prices.

ASSOCIATION GETS NEW MEMBERS

"Many new members have joined the Associa"tion since January I in response to an invitation from membership chairman Cloyd Garner," says Ray Clotfelter, president of Lumber Merchants'Association of Northern California, in a recent bulletin sent out to all lumber dealers.

HousingPriorities

Amended Preference Rating Order P-55, provides for the following changes in procedure in the granting of priority assistance in connection with defense housing projects:

(1) Manufacturers supplying building materials for defense housing projects should hereafter apply for priority assistance under the recently announced "Production Requirements Plan," which is designed to help them obtain priority ratings to cover their materials requirements for three months at a time.

In order to secure a priority rating under this plan, the manufacturer must fill out Form PD-25A. Copies of this form are available from the field offices of the Priorities Division.

(2) When a rating has been applied to a housing project, that rating may be extended by a builder to a supplier if the supplier has "not in whole or in part manufactured, produced, assembled or otherwise physically changed" the materials to fill a rated order.

The rating carried by the project may then be applied by the supplier to his own purchase orders for finished items. But when the rating has been extended to a manufacturer, the manufacturer should apply for assistance under the Production Requirements Plan, and is not to extend the project rating directly. Other requirements of the amended order are that:

(1) Suppliers must sign and file with the OPM an Acceptance of Preference Rating Order P-55 amended, before applying its rating to their orders.

(2) Extension of ratings must be made by endorsement on purchase orders or contracts of the statement in (e) (1) of the amended Order, such statements to be authenticated by an authorized agent of the Federal lfousing Administrator.

Copies of the Order and blank acceptance forms may be obtained from field offices of the Priorities Division.

Hangar Shortage Offers Opportunity to Lumber Dealers

Aviators and their private planes in every nook and cranny of the United States-that great body of sky pioneers, men and women, pilots and ground crelvs, that comprise "civil aviation" in America-are being organized by the Office of Civilian Defense into the Civil Air Patrol. This does not mean that these people are joining the Air Force, or that the fellow who uses his cow pasture for a landing field is going to be issued a machine gun. They will be civilians; they will pay their own way as in the past; they will continue in their usual bread-andbutter jobs. But their flying, when they fly, will be on definite assignments which are helpful to the army and navy in prosecuting the war. They will be an extension of the Air Force, but not a part of it. As the months pass they will become a disciplined, closely-knit organization instantly on call where and when needed.

Lumber dealers may be playing an important part in this program, for many of these planes even now do not have hangar facilities, and the present indication is that this situation will become worse within a few weeks, even though no private planes are built. There are more than two thousand airports in this country, but many of them do not have sufficient hangar facilities and a surprising number of private planes (even on the larger airports) must be stored in the open, with no protection against the elements except, perhaps, a tarpaulin. Since about 9O per cent of these private planes are fabric-covered, the deterioration from such exposure is severe.

Hangar shortage will be further aggravated by stringent new regulations soon to be imposed on all airports. Immediately after the outbreak of war, all private pilot licenses were suspended. They are not being reinstated until each individual's citizenship and loyalty can be established. Then, rvhen a pilot does regain his license, he must operate from an airport which the Civil Aeronautics Administration has certified for wartime use. Among the requirements for such certification will be adequate

policing of the landing area on a Z4-hour basis, and the hiring of an approved clearance official for all hours in which flights are operated. Both these are expensive, ahd it is expected that only about 1,200 to 1,500 airports will be able to comply. That will mean, probably, a considerable influx of pilots and planes to the airports which qualify. For efficiency in their defense work, these planes must have hangars. They must have the hangars immediately -substantial buildings, well constructed, safe, and low in cost. Obviously, the timber-trussed hangar is the only structure which today can meet these specifications. As a patriotic duty as well as for his own business interests, every lumber dealer should make it his business to let his local airport officials know he has the answer to the hangar problem.

Make no mistake-the lumber dealer does have the answer, for the necessary lumber and dimension will be found in his regular retail stocks. Standard hangar designs, illustrating how to use Teco Connectors in fabricating these retail stock sizes and grades of lumber into hangar trusses have been prepared by the Timber Engineering Company in consultation with CAA engineers. Local contractors and local labor can do the work. Teco Connectors, which make this construction possible with a minimum of metal and a minimum of cost. are available in the various sizes and types required r,vithout necessity of dealers carrying them in stock.

It is suggested that any lumberman located near an airport write at once to the Timber Engineering Company, 1337 Connecticut Avenue, Washington, D. C., for a free set of the plans which he is likely to require. If that 'airport is certified, probably the manager will want to provide more hangar facilities in a hurry, and the sooner the plans are available, the better. A busy, harassed individual, the manager may not realize that the wood-built hangar is what he needs.

Behind the Eagle Stands the Forests Four California Cities Listed Among

Seattle, Washington. January l5-Lumbermen of the Douglas fir region are speeding up a drive for the promotion of timber in heavy defense construction, to maintain forest operations and employment and to release more steel for ships, tanks, planes and guns, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has announced in offering a new pictorial publication entitled "Behind the Eagle Stands the Forests." This is a 3?-page album of dramatic views of lumber in war building, published by the American forest industries for national circulation. The Association is giving it dstribution in the Douglas fir region, the source of most timber engineering material. Free copies may be had upon postcard request to the Association at Seattle, Washington, or Portland or Eugene, Oregon.

"With the completion of most cantonment construction and the sharp decline in everyday building due to the SPAB curb on construction use of critical metals, our engineers and fieldmen were sent into defense areas to expand the timber engineering market," the Association said. "On December 9 the WCLA Trade Extension Committee met in Portland and agreed to reinforce this program all along the line, from tree to building site, to help keep the mills running and the industry's employees at work, and to divert more steel tonnage to production of armaments and ships.

"Trade extension projects in the fields of defense housing and defense farm building were also approved. Despite the fog of economic uncertainty brought on by the war, and such obstacles as the shipping shortage, the decline of civilian building and prospective increases in freight rates, the order of the day was 'Forward, march.'

"The war service of timber engineering promises to enlarge this field of forest use when peace comes, according to Engineering News-Record, which in a recent editorial on a large plane factory framed in timber, declared:

"'This building and others in our country emphasize that timber is not only a defense material of first rank, but that modern processes in its manufacture and use offer the designer what is in efiect a new material for peacetime applications.'"

First Twenty in Building

Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Oakland were listed among the first twenty cities in the United States reporting the largest volume of building in 1941.

Los Angeles was in second place with a total of $87,238,818; San Diego rvas fourth with $51,070,588; San Francisco was seventh with $37,256,2D, and Oakland was seventeenth with $15,816,181. New York was in first place with a total of. $153,175,677.

THE TRANSPORTATION OF ANCIENT EASTERN WOODS

Wood technologists a generation and more ago pulled wooden door beams out of the mud that covered forgotten cities near the mouth of the Euphrates River in the ancient country of Chaldea, and identified the species of wood. The identification brought much surprise for the wood proved to belong to forests growing only in the Andaman Islands in the remote East Indies. It was mute testimony to the high importance placed on wood as a building material in remote antiquity; for the route which ships must have taken to carry the timbers before the invention of the compass, followed the whole coast of India a distance of about 7,O00 miles each way or a total of about 14,000 miles for a cargo of this planking. The ships of those days could not have carried more than ten or twelve thousand feet at a time, and it is conservatively figured that each such trip would have required about two years to make. We know nothing of freight charges six thousand years ago when this building was estimated to have been done-three thousand years before the days of Nebuchadnezzar-but that must have been very, very experlsive building material, even at the lowest possible rates.

SUSPICIOUS

The man at the restaurant table was suspicious. He looked hard, then sniffed, at the little yellow cube which the waiter had placed in front of him on a butter dish. Then he picked up his knife in one hand and the bread in the other, and remarked: "I take thee for butter or worse."

A RECIPE FOR LIVING

Win someone's trrraise-and then be square enough, To make rnen call him truthful who has said The fine things of you. Surely it were rough To heap humiliation on the head

Of him who guaranteed you sterling stuff.

Make people love you-then deserve their love, With all the might you have, or can acquire, From earthly sources, and that Source above Whence emanate the things all men admire. Be serpent-wise though gentle as the dove.

Get all you can from others-then prevent Those others from regretting what they gave.

Pay eager usury to him who lent The cheering word that made you strong and brave. Grant things you kindly said were kindlier meant.

Reach out and get-don't hesitate at this, If you reach out as avidly to give.

Pray there may be no serving chance you miss; Let live as willingly as you would live. Then eaxth, as well as heaven, will bring you bliss. -StricHand Gililand.

Rubaiyat of Nomor Rentum Forest Rangers Report Fire Season Closed

Wake ! For the hour that dost thy soul affright Has shot a bolt that puts all joy to flight; Lo, before thy door the landlord takes his standA silhouette that dims the dawning light.

Come, pay the rent and though the days are fair, Thy winter garment still with meekness wear; The bird of'time will round the circle fly And bring another "first" ere thou'rt aware.

"How large and fine the niftey flat"-thi,nk some, Others-"a rented house doth us become !"

Ah, keep the cash, and build thyself a Home; March not in lock step to a "rent day" drum.

Think, in each stately caravanserai

Whose doorways swing about by night and day, How tenant after tena,nt in his pride Abode a month or two and went his way.

Thyself didst move from that place unto this Intrigued by "Welcome" on a luzzy mal, Paid rent for that which one can never own And found the prospect somewhat stale and flat.

And lastly, by the hall room door agape

There stood in peevish mood a portly shape, Bearing a rent bill in his hand, alas ! To bid us pay !-And there was no escape.

Ah, then ! we did with fate a"nd wit conspire To change this sordid scheme of life entireTo oust the incubus that dogged our days And Build a Home nearer my heart's desire.

\(/estern Retailers' Annual Feb. 19-21

The 3fth annual convention of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association will be held at the Hotel Davenport, Spokane, Wash., February l9-2G21, 1942. A business program on subjects of immediate concern to all retail lumbermen is planned. There will be many entertainment features, and the annual banquet and dance will be held Saturday night, February 21.

San Francisco.-IJncle Sam's national forest rangers and supervisors of the California Region breathed deeply and thankfully as they rode the range, scaled logs, developed public recreational facilities or planned postwar forestry and agricultural projects.

And with good reason. The forest fire season now is well over in each of the 18 national forests of California and southwestern Nevada, and Forest Service records show an unusually low number of man-caused fires for the year.

"That's good news to rangers," declared Regional Forester S. B. Show, "because it reveals that the public is becoming fire prevention qen5siegs-an important factor in safeguarding scenic recreational resources for the 10 million vacationists who annually visit the national forests of the California Region."

This season's man-caused fires in the national forests of the region totaled 766, compared to 874 last year and an annual average of 890 for the past five years.

Lightning started 847 forest fires during 1941.

Cost of suppressing the current year's fires, which burned 103,400 acres, amounted to $600,000 for labor, subsistence, transportation and equipment.

Regional Forester Show credited public enlightenment through press, radio, magazines, commercial advertising, and the educational work of conservationists and public spirited organizations for the fire prevention improvement record.

Additional DefenseHousing Authorized for California

Washington, !an. 24.-Additional defense housing units for California today had been authorized under the recent Presidential allocation, it was announced here by Charles F. Palmer, coordinator of defense housing.

The Federal Works Agency has been instructed to proceed immediately with the construction of 3,000 demountable houses, and the Farm Security Agency with 1,500 dormitory units, at Mare Island, Vallejo.

Freight Rates Should be Predicated on Timber as a Crop, Says Compton

Washington, January 9,-Forest industries are essentially agricultural enterprises and should be so considered in setting rail freight rates, said Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, when he appeared as a witness, January 5, before the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The Railway Board was sitting in St. Louis to consider the petition of the railroads for increased rates, fares, and charges. "For many years,,, Mr. Compton continued, "the railroads have been wrestling with the problem of increasing revenues to meet continuing increasing costs. Generallv, their anslver has been to propose increased rates. In so far as the revenues derived from lumber and timber products are concerned, rate increases have not been the answer; and if the clearest evidence available is to be given weight, further increases will not permanently provide the answer. It appears in fact from all the evi_ dence that lumber rail rates generally have reached a level of diminishing returns.

"Lumber and timber products are no longer migratory industries. Gradually forests are becomirrg tre.-farms. Forestry is a part of agriculture. Trees are crops. Forest industries are becoming permanent enterprises and im_ portant potential sources of permanent local emplovment.

"Neither the public nor the carriers, nor perhaps the Commission-nor, for that matter, the forest indlstries themselves-have yet become accustomed to this concep_ tion of forest industry as essentiaily an agricultural enter- prise. But all will become so accustomed; and railroad transportation policies as well as logging and manufac_ turing practices wilr have to be linked to this fundamental conception of forest industry enterprise.

"There are, according to the U. S. Forest Service, over 600 million acres of forest land of which nearly ihr.._ fourths is classified as commerciar. of this, zz/o i's stilr in virgin timber; 25/o in second growth sarv timber ; 3g%

in fair condition of reproduction; and IS/o in poor condition. Of the privately owned forest lands 40 per cent is in farm woodlands; 4O per cent more is in ownerships not exceeding 5000 acres. The annual timber grolith and the annual timber use are approaching a national balance -a balance which, if wise public and industry policies prevail, should be reached within the present decade.

"Traffic in lumber and timber products accordingly has taken on many of the characteristics of agriculture-wideIy scattered origins, decentralization of production, generally small ownerships gradually becoming smaller, with in_ creasing hundreds of forest owners seeking to establish permanent local industries. To the extent that they succeed in so doing they are also establishing permanent potential sources of rail traffic in lumber and timber products. We urge, therefore, that the carriers, with what we hope may be the assent of the Commission, join with the forest in_ dustries in a reorientation.of policy based on the concep_ tion of forests as a crop-not a mine-of forest industry as a continuing and not a migratory enterprise; and of forest products not as temporary but as potentially permanent sources of important traffic and important freight revenue.

"The National Lumber Manufacturers Association. while asserting that increasing the rates is not ordinarily the way to increased revenues from rail traffic in lumber and timber products, does not oppose the authorizationby the Commission of such temporary increases in rates as the Commission may find necessary.

"This position of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association is predicated on the belief that the carriers, while on the one hand seeking the co-operation of lumber shippers toward meeting the added costs of the transpor- tation service, will on the other hand co-operate with the efforts of the lumber industry to provide permanent timber crops and permanent sources ofrail traffic in forest products."

Ulm'a Uhe HIP and RIDGD UIIITS

I. E. Horton

This brief sketch of the lumber career of I. E. Horton, who heads the South City Lumber & Supply Co. in the busy industrial city of South San Francisco, will be interesting to many readers of this paper who have the pleasure of his acquaintance, and to many others who know him by reputation on account ofthe prominent part he has taken in the affairs of State and regional Associations.

He was born in Livermore, California, and gained his first lumber experience when he worked in school vacations in a yard which his grandfather started in 1869. This yard continued until 1928. Following his graduation from Livermore High School he went to San Francisco, where he spent four years in the office of Henry H. Meyers, architect.

In 1916 he left to become associated with South City Lumber & Supply Co. and after several years as assistant manager took over the management of this concern in 1932. His architectural and engineering knowledge has proved to be a grcat asset to him in his work, as the business of the company is mainly industrial. At the moment about 85 per cent of the business is connected with defense.

Mr. Horton is past director of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, and treasurer of the California Lummen's Council. He was recently re-elected treasurer of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California.

He is a thorough believer in the value of association work, and has some very sound ideas on the real benefits that can be gained by retail lumbermen through consistent support of their associations.

Mr. Horton is married and he and Mrs. Horton have a daughter of 16. They live in San Francisco. His one hobby is traveling. For a month or so each year he takes time out to indulge this hobby and has made many extended trips by automobile to all parts of the country, proving his belief in the injunction to "See America First." He is accompanied by his family on these tours.

He is a member of the California Golf and Country Club.

Probable Consumption of \(/estern Pine A Pfea lor Prolessional Courage Lumber for First Quarter o( 1942

Portland, Oregon, January L4-Ina statement issued by the Western Pine Association, an estimate is given of the probable consumption of lumber frorn the Western Pine region for the first quarter of 1942. The following is the statement in full:

The first objectir.e of the Western Pine industry during 1942will be to meet all of the war-time requirements for its products. Despite the necessary curtailment in normal civilian construction, it is now generally predicted that the lumber demand during 7942 will equal, if not exceed, that f.or L94t. The Western Pine industry must expect increased demand for fruit, vegetable and cannery shook, for ammunition, shell, and other military containers, for army and indqstrial construction, as well as continuing requirements for defense housing, remodeling, farm construction, and necessary private building.

Preliminary figures indicate that the Western Pine industry, during 1941, produced 5,928 million feet, an all-time high which exceeded the year l94Oby t4/o and the previous peak year of 1929 by 13.6/o. The 1941 shipments of 5,985 million feet were I3/o above those for the former record year of 1940 and about one billion feet higher than those for the 1925-t9D boom period of residential building. The industry's unfilled order file at the close of 1941 is at the same level as a year ago while gross stocks are 4/o lower with Ponderosa Pine inventories down l3/o,Idaho White Pine 2O/o and Sugar Pine 5/o. Stocks of Larch-Douglas Fir and White Fir increased during the year. Currently, placements of new business have increased greatly with the result that the industry's unfilled order file has risen II/o daring December.

Based on general predictions and all other available information concerning the probable use of our products, it is now expected that during the first quarter of 1942 the consumption (shipments) of Western Pine lumber will be about 1253 million feet. This would mean a volume of shipments 173 million feet, or l2/o, less than during the fourth quarter of l94l and 54 million feet or 4f/o, more than the first quarter of 1941. In presenting this forecast, the many complex factors involved have been carefully weighed but unforeseen developments of the present emergency can be evaluated only as these are apparent.

"Wood is one of our most important resources-yet as we foresters continue to argue questions of regulations, we are in danger of missing the boat by too much talking, too little action, and too little courage," Harris Collingwood, Chief Forester of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, told the 41st annual meeting of the Society of American Foresters at Jacksonville.

Mr. Collingwood's essential point u'as that a large proportion of American forests are without the guiding administration of professional foresters, and that the public has been slow to accept forestry as a profession comparable in social im,portance with engineering and architecture. If foresters will work together toward the end that all forests may be continuously productive, but without too much friction concerning the means of achieving it, he said, forestry can occupy the place in American economics it deserves.

The complete text of Mr. Collingwood's address has been published as a pamphlet by the NLMA under the title:"A Plea for Professional Courage." Copies may be secured from the Washington headquarters of the Association.

Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club

The regular dinner meeting of the Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club was held on Wednesday evening, January 21.

W. Henry Gilbert, president of the Club, presided.

M. B. Pratt, State chief forester, spoke on forestry and its relation to the defense program.

It was announced that John McBride, son of E. S. McBride of Davis, Calif., has been appointed Vicegerent Snark for the Sacramento district, and that a Hoo-Hoo Concatenation will be held in Sacramento in March.

SOUTH GATE HAS RECORD BUILDING YEAR

Surpassing the all-time high record ol I94O, South Gate's home building volume in l94l reached a total of. L677 new buildings. The city's total building permit valuation for 1941 amounted to $5,834,051, and approximately $5,000,000 of this figure was for new homes.

board feet at the end of December; gross stocks, at 971,' 118,000.

Up to December 7 the West Coast lumber industry was experiencing shrinking volume of orders. War changed this trend. with immediate rush demand from the Government for large amounts of lumber for the national offensive. This accounts for the approximately 14O million feet increase in unfilled orders at the end of December, in comparison with the November-end file. Government purchases are yet being made, on delivery that will extend through the first quarter of. 1942.

Accom,panying this increase in Government business was sympathetic action by retail lumber dealers, in December purchases of a considerable volume of lumber.

December production was 13 per cent less than November's. A greater drop had been expected, as West Coast mills customarily close for major repairs near the year' end. The need of the Government for rush lumber ship' ments kept the saws running in all operations but those in which repairs were absolutely necessary.

The \Mestern Pine Association for the week ended January 17,97 mills reporting, gave orders as 92,351,000 feet, shipments 67,575,000 feet, and production 43,161,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 356,583,000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended January 17, lt0 mills reporting, gave orders as 40,573,000 feet, shipments 31,670,000 feet, and production 28,622,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 125,915,000 feet.

Quartermaster ltems Moved to War Cllnic

Samples of Army supply items needed now or soon to be required by the Quartermaster Corps, will be movcd in and set up for display at the "war clinic" by mid-week, Colonel F. J. Riley, Quartermaster Supply Officer of the San Francisco General Depot, Fort Nlason, announced. The Quartermaster Corps booth, 48 by8 feet, is the largest of 60 major exhibits which operators of manufacuring facilities are invited to study at the clinic opening under War Production Board (formerly called OPM) management Monday, February 2, in Drary Lane at the Whitcomb Hotel, entrance on Eighth Street near Market Street, San Francisco.

Leather, textile, sheet metal and wood items are predominant among the Army supplies which the Quartermaster Corps will show industrial men interested in manufacturing to fill military requirements. But these articles being prepared to show when the "war clinic" opens next week may be changed whenever requirements vary.

A Quartermaster Corps officer will be on duty six days each week at the clinic in the Whitcomb Hotel to confer with any manufacturer interested in making any items shown or any other of the approximately 30,000 Army supply items for which the Quartermaster Corps is responsible.

In addition to the clinic booth, the large sample room from the Quartermaster Section at Fort Mason has been moved to the new administration building of the San Francisco General Depot located at the approach of the Bay Bridge in Oakland. The sample room was moved the past week end and is now being set up in a spacious room on the ground floor in the east wing of the new oflrce building in Oakland, after having for the past severai vears been located at Fort Mason in San Francisco.
