Seattle, Washington, January 13, 1944-The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production in December (5 weeks) was 147,765.000 board feet, or 97.3 per cent of 19391942 average, ac'cording to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 158,867,000 board feet; shipments, 161,118,000. Weekly averages for November were: Production 162,157,000 board feet (106.8 per cent of the 1939-t942 average); orders, 152,835,000; shipments, 161,601,000.
Favorable logging weather through most of December aided the West Coast lumber industry in its determined fight to produce lumber for the war, to the last board. The December production was 25 per cent over that of a year ago. The industry ended the year with a cut of 7,9N million feet of lumber. This makes the third year of production substantially in excess oI l94O and the years preceding it back to l9D.
As at the beginning of 1943, the West Coast mills :rr.c still vastly oversold, in their efforts to supply war recluirements. There are over one billion feet of unfilled orders on the mill boards, while the aggregate of sawmill stocks has been reduced a further 2O per cent. \Mar requirements for lumber have changed materially during the year but shorv no signs of lessening. The war plant in the United States, the cantonments, warehouses, hangars and shipyards, have largely been completed. But the offensive phase of the war
has brought insatiable demands for expendable items like boxes and cases for supplies going overseas, military truck bodies, pontoon bridges and the rough and ready requirements at forward bases. Every fresh point of attack by the American forces means that still more lumber is needed for these offensive requirements; and the vast plans of attack in Europe during the present year are foreshadowed in the current demands upon West Coast sawmills.
For the same reasons there is yet no prospect that more West Coast lumber can be made available in L944, for civilian home and farm building, beyqnd the urgent defense housing which must be completed as an essential part of the war itself. Much as the West Coast manufacturers would like to divert more lumber to their former distributors for everyday civilian needs, they are still debarred from doing so by orders of the High Command. In fact, the control of lumber usage by War Production Board orders, allocations and priorities is be.coming more drastic and is being extended to more of the national production. It is evident that lumber must serve the guns until there is a decisive change in the military situation.
The Western January 15, 94 feet, shipments
Pino Association for the week ended mills reporting, gave orders as 60,791,000 56,575,000 feet, and production 45,131,000

Log inventories at tide water in main Pacific Northwest areas are calculated to have been a third greater for January than a year ago, although they were drawn down on the Columbia River in December from previous levels that had been attained under favoring production weather. Estimates were that for all species, 669 million board feet of logs were in booms in Puget Sound, on the Columbia River and at Grays Harbor. The position is helpful for winter operations of mills struggling with war demands.
About 45/o of the total supply of logs was Douglas fir.
San Francisco, California, January 5, 1944-Marking another step of the Redwood lumber industry's continuous program to produce an ever higher quality product, form;ltion of a Redwood Seasoning Committee was announced recently by the California Redwood Association.
Organized for the furtherance of studying the possibilities of advanced improvement in the science of drying Redwood, the new committee is composed of kiln operators at the various Redwood mills and of others interested in the seasoning of this durable wood.
I. G. Utschig, Union Lumber Company, Fort Bragg, California, is chairman of the Redwood Seasoning Committee, and J. P. McGovern, The Pacific Lumber Company, Scotia, California, is secretary-treasurer.
In order that a complete study may be made of all problems involved, regular monthly meetings of the committee are to be held alternately at each of the member mills in northern California. The initial meeting was held on December 15 at the plant of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company at Eureka, California.
Miss'Rhea Leishman, daughter of R. R. Leishman, who is associated with A. L. Hoover, Los Angeles wholesale lumberman, has enlisted in the Marines. She will graduate from Pomona College in about two months and will then report at Camp Lejeune, New River, North Carolina.
A. Stewart Fathman, head of the Western Softwoods Section in the Lumber Branch of OPA, has been appointed head of the Branch's Stumpage and I.ogs Section to succeed Henry G. Champeaux, who resigned January 10 to return to private industry on the Pacific Coast, the Office of Price Administration announced on January 17.
Stuart C. Smith, now in charge of the Douglas Fir Unit in the Western Softwoods Section will assume Mr. Fathman's present position. In his new post, however, Mr. Fathman will continue to have supervision over the pricing of such primary forest products as mine materials, railway ties, fence posts, piling, and the preservative treatment of wood. Before joining the OPA lumber branch on October 26, 1942, Mr. Smith was a partner in Fountain-Smith, lumber wholesalers in Los Angeles.
Albert Schafer, Schafer Bros. Lumber & Shingle Co., Aberdeen, Wash., attended the Army-Navy Conferences in Los Angeles last month. He also visited the company's Los Angeles and San Francisco offices.

I have written several It-I. il the past few months on the subject of treating wood with electricity. There has been much misunderstanding. People have jumped to conclusions of the wildest sort. From the four points of the compass have come inquiries about instantaneously drying green lumber with electricity. No, Brother, you can't do that. They ARE using electricity to mould thin slices of wood and glue into laminated airplane construction ma' terial. It is entirely practical, but tremendously expensive. They CAN take a small piece of green wood and cook the water out of it in no time at all by electricity. But no meth' od has yet been discovered-and none is being actively sought for that matter-for taking boards and planks and drying thern in quantity by electricity. Experiments with small pieces of green wood are very expensive. If you DID dry lumber with electricity through any means now known, it would be done one piece at a time, and would cost so
much they would have to sell it in jewelry stores' The fact that you can take a.small piece of wood and cook the juice out of it with electrodes at considerable cost, does not mean the same process can be applied successfully or economically to lurnber in comtmercial quantities.
In my discussion I said nothing about expense' I simply recited facts and opinions that had nothing to do with economics. One man expressed the opinion to me that becausd a small piece of wood could be dried quickly with electricity showed that the same thing could be done with a large piece if the research and laboratoiy work was ever carried that far. Which may or may not be true, being only in the hypothetical stage. The comrnercial use of electricity as applied to wood is, up to now, confined entirely to laminating wood and glue for uses where the cost is of no consequence. To the ordinary user of lumber it can be said that nothing has yet been done to make elictrically treated wood of the slightest commercial interest to him.
The Andrew Jackson Day dinners in all parts of the country, are for the purpose of honoring the gfeat Demociat, and raising funds for the Party. Wish it were possible to get the keynote speaker at each of these dinners to quote the words of "Old Hickory" when he was Governor of Florida, when he said: "I am clothed with powers that no one under a rep,ublic ought to possess and which I trust will never again be given to any man." Wonder what the old boy would say if he could witness the concentration of power in this country now? \itle've got an army of officials in this land today any one of whorn has more power and authority than Andrew Jackson had when he uttered the above statement. But I predict they won't call attention to that fact at these dinners.

The average monthly production of softwood plywood decreased from 153,353,000 square feet (fi,, equivalent) in l94Z to 124,355,W0 square feet in 1943, but production in both years was considerably higher ttran in 1939, the only prewar year for which comparable figures are available.
These facts are brought out in a report on monthly production of softwood plywood, and consumption and stocks of materials, 194I-1943, based on a mail canvass conducted by the Industry Division of the Bureau of the Census for the WPB Lumber and Lumber products Division. Data, compiled for 31 mills, covers the total output of softwood plywood for the country with the exception of approximately 1 per cent produced in mills manufacturing principally hardwood plywood.
Three tables give figures by months from September, 1941, through September, 7943, as follows: Table l: pro- duction of softwood plywood by type, moisture resisiant and exterior, logs consumed and logs on hand ; table 2: shipment and stocks of softwood plywood by type; table 3: softwood plywood manufacturers' consumption of glue f.,, type-casein, soy bean, phenolic resin, and other. Copies of the report are obtainable from the Bureau of the Censu:;, Washington, D. C.
Production of softwood plywood in 1939 was approxi_ mately one billion square feet, with an average monthll. production of 83,333,000 square feet. Average monthly production in 1941, based only on data for the final four months of the year, was 150,392,000 square feet. production in 1942 was 1,840.231,000 with an average monthly production of 153,353,000 square feet; in 1943 production for the first nine months totaled l,ll9,ly2,W square feet, with a month- ly average, based on these nine months, of 124,355,0ffi square feet.
,Douglas fir is used for about 95 per cent of the moisture resistant plywood pr.oduced and for practically all of the exterior plywood. The balance is made principally from Ponderosa pine.

Offered to the public entirely free, the new gourse is backed by a sponsoring group of about 35 concerns such as the realtors, lumber dealers, contractors, builders, bankers, building and loan associations, and utilities. These sponsors have formed a permanent committee to assist thc public school in arousing and maintaining interest in the four months' course.
Over 300 attended tl-re opening session, and at the time of this writing the roster has grown to about 400 men and women. There will be seventeen tlvo-hour sessions, closing the series abqut May 30. Many of the programs will be "double-headers," two speakers being booked for one hour's presentation each. Ample time will be provided at the close of each address, for questions and discussion from the audience. The Institute meets every Tuesday evening. 7 :30 to 9:30 o'clock.

f was going through my collection o.f stories of World W'ar One the other day, and got plenty of laughs. As I have remarked before, the stories of World War Two do not compare with those of 25 years ago. And here is one I like so well I decided to reprint it for the benefit of the younger generation who might not otherwise encounter it.
Some motherly ladies were spending their Sunday visiting an army training camp, and were shown about by a courteous officer who allowed them the run of the camp. The guardhouse was one of the units they were most interested in, so they went there. And in the guardhouse they found a sad-faced, lonesome-looking youngster of an enlisted man, who so impressed them that they engaged him in conversation. He was bright and keen as he replied to their questions, so one of the ladies demanded to kgow what a grandlooking young man like that was doing spending Sunday in the guardhouse. So he told them, something like this:
"Lady,I had a good home, a good job, a good automobile, plenty of good clothes, and a good-looking girl. Along came the draft and took me away from all that. I didn't mind that so much, it was what they did with me. They m;arched me away, and brought me here to this camp. They gave me a pair of shoes that were too short, a pair oi pirrt, that were too long a coat that was too tight, and a bed that was too hard. They made me put on those awful clothes and then they drilled me ten hours every day for six days. When Sunday came, instead of letting me get some sleep and rest for my weary bones, they made me roll out early in the morning and go to a church f didn't belong to, to listen to a sermon I didn,t agree with, preached by a minister I didn't want to hear. So when that preacher said: 'We will now stand and sing hymn No. Seventy-Six-'fi1s you footsore, are you weary?'-I got ten days in the guardhouse for ?nswering-.Hell yes !, "

In 1916 the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company bought 35,000 acres of land 18 miles from Phoenix, Arizona, and here they now have a huge experimental station that works in many directions. Among the many interesting things they are working on here for postwar days, are two small houses, one a collapsible home, the other of the igloo type.
The first is a portable house, and not a trailer.It is built of double layers of plywood with'resinfoam insulating material between. Inside are two bedrooms, a kitchenliving room, toilet, shower, and space for mechanical refrigeration. It is so made that the bedrooms telescope into the center when necessary, redu,cing the over-all size of the house from 14 by 27 ieet, to a width of 8 feet, thus allowing it to be hauled along the highway when moving is necessary. They think such houses could be used for comfortable quarters for men working on farms, and like places, where they work in one place a while, and then move on. They have built a number of them and rented them to factory workers in the neighborhood, and they have proven very practical for that sort of dwelling.
The igloo type of house they are experimenting with is dome topped, and'contains kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and bath, and are equipped with an evaporation type of air conditioning.
They figure the collapsible house to cost about $1,800 in postwar prices, and the igloo about $2,800.
A good volume of business is reported by Langford W. Smith of U. S. Wood Products Co., San Francisco, distributors of Flexwood and Flexglass. In talking about these products Mr. Smith said:
"Flexwood is genuine wood veneer cut to %o of an inch and glued under heat and hydraulic pressure to cotton sheeting with a waterproof adhesive. It makes very beautiful walls and provides economical and durable installations for homes and offices. Installation is simple. Any skilled paperhanger can do a perfect job by following printed instructions. Flexwood, because it is wood, takes any wood finish. Practically all the wood veneers are available.
"Flexwood is manufactured jointly by The Mengel Company, Louisville, Ky., and the United States Plywood Corp., New York.
"Flexglass combines the qualities of availability and versatility, and therefore appeals to the designers, who have found it possible to create many startling designs with this material. One of the largest uses is for display. Another spectacular use is for outdoor'signs."
U. S. Wood Products Co. recently furnished a large quantity of Flexwood for the offices of the new Kaiser steel plant at Fontana, Calif., and also for the New York offices'of Henry J. Kaiser Co. and for Mr. Kaiser's private home.
Winchell Bros. Lumber Co. has purchased the Sprowls Lumber Co. at North Hollvwood. Calif.
Present prospects indicate that the plywood industry faces in 1944 a complicated situation, whether we have war or peace. This view is predicated on the following factors :
In Douglas Fir plywood, demand is active from the armed services because Fir plywood has been released for use in a limited number of additional military projects. The War Production Board will, however, have to watch this situation very closely because production is on a large scale, and any slack in demand for war purposes must be accompanied by less stringent restrictive regulations on the use of such plywood. To do this successfully requires delicate timing.
For hardwood plywood the situation is divided into three major classifications: aircraft, technical, and commercial.
Demand for aircraft plywood has decreased substantially over recent months. Cancellations have occurred in substantial quantities. While much aircraft plywood has been used for gliders and trainer planes, its use for aircraft generally never reached anticipated large-scale proportions because of lack of proper design and the absence of necessary technical data at the beginning of the war.
England, on the other hand, was ieady with the highly successful "Mosquito" bomber (now being copied in Germany) and other planes and important parts of planes, such as the Avro Anson fuselage. From present indications, there will be no great demand for plywood in military aircraft except for certain molded parts and other special parts for which plywood is particularly adaptable.
Technical plywood-a broad designation covering a wide and significant variety of designs, construction, and usesis in large demand and is likely to remain so, both in flat and in molded form. There is no way, however, of ascertaining the requirements for "P.T." boats, Victory ship bulkheads, and other Marine uses.
Technical plywoods, however, have become so versatile in their properties and applications, that new uses are being found for them continually.
Commercial hardwood plywoods, which have been almost completely unavailable for many months, are norv gradually coming into the markets. They are greatly sought to fill voids in warehouse stocks, even though prices are distinctly on the high side.
The movement of this material in quantity depends upon the official attitude towards the use of companion materials that are needed to utilize commercial plywoods in quantity. This is the type of material used in furniture, radio cabinets, and an infinite variety of other products, wholly or partially for consumer use.
The industry is able to take care of war requirements with only part of its production; thus, more commercial plywood should be released as it can be done without interfering with the war effort. The manpower problem is involved, but only to a certain extent, since men must be maintained on production lines whether they are operating to capacity or not. Should restrictions on hardwood plywood use be released, demand would greatly exceed supply for a considerable period of time.
While in the immediate future the industry faces the complications of restrictions and the uncertainties of possible readjustment to postwar, the longer-term prospects for plywood are exceptionally bright.
Entirely new industrial and civilian uses for plywood in various improved forms are guaranteed by the discoveries and perfections accomplished in the research laboratories, improvements presently concealed for security reasons. These, together with the use of plywood bonded to other products such as plastics, metals, fabrics, and paper, hold out promise of long-term expansion in the industry, favoring the sound and integrated plywood enterprises.

The follo'rving direction is issued in accordance with Order M-364, paragraph (d). It tells how orders placed through wholesalers can be approved on Form WPB-2720 in cases where, because of the number of producers the wholesaler buys from and the uncertainty of deliveries from them, it is not feasible to designate producers on the form.
(a) Any person r,vho.wants to buy restricted hardwood lumber through a wholesaler may obtain his requirements under the direction instead of as specified in Order M-364, paragraph (b). In filing a Form WPB-2720 he need not show the name of the producer, but only the name of the wholesaler with whom he has placed his order. He must state that he is applying under Direction 2 in the space provided for the name of the producer. On the back of thc form he must show that his order has been accepted by the wholesaler named. The purchaser must file a separate application for each wholesaler with whom orders havc been placed.
(b) Any wholesaler who has received an order approved on Form WPB-2720 may order restricted hardwood lumber from one or several producers in a total amount not exceeding the amount authorized. He may endorse on his purchase order of contract the following certificates:
All restricted hardwood lumber covered by this purchase order or contract is required in order to enable me to deliver an amount authorized on Form WPB-2720. WPR
Case Number ........, and delivery may be made without regard to,the limitations of paragraph (b) on deliveries by producers.
Any producer may sell, ship or deliver restricted hardwood lumber tofill any order supported by the above certificate, just as if the order were certified in the manner prescribed by paragraphs (b) (1) or (b) (2) of Order M364. The use of the above form of certificate by the buyer and delivery by the producer is subject to all the terms and conditions oi M-364 with respect to certified orders, so far as applicable.
(c) "Wholesaler" for the purposes of this direction means a person r,r'ho buys lumber from producers for resale but who does not himself receive, process, or store the lumber obtained under this direction.

Washington, D. C.,The following isa letter addressed by Colonel Fred G. Sherrill, Corps of Engineers, to J. Philip Boyd, director of the Lumber and Lumber Products Division of the War Production Board, in respect to the United States Engineers' handling of surplus lumber stocks:
"Regarding the question raised at the Lumber Industry Committee Meeting at WPB on Friday, December t0,1943, you are advised that on the 7th of September, 1942, the Office, Chief of Engineers instructed all of the Division Engineers within the United States, among other things as follows:
"Should any excess material (including lumber) be requi.red on another project, it should be transferred immediately to the proje'ct requiring it.
"On the 19th of June, 1943, Headquarters, Army Service Forces, instructed the Chiefs of the Technical Services to accept quantities of lumber excess to construction projects within the Corps of Engineers and instructed the Corps of Engineers, to transfer such lumber to the other technical services as follows:
"It is desired that the Chief of Engineers and the chiefs of technical services having installations requiring boxing and crating lumber develop necessary procedures for the transfer of excess lumber from Engineer projects to technical service installations. Such transfer will be effected without any reimbursement or transfer of funds for the cost of the property, handling', or transportation. The
technical services will accept and utilize the lumber made available under this policy.
"During the month of July, immediately following the receipt of these instructions, the Corps of Engineers transferred to other branches of the Army, 19,674,934 FBM, having an estimated value of $869,828.82.
"Prior to this and in keeping with the instructions previously referred to under the date of Septemb er 7, 1942, this office addressed another communication to the Division Engineers under the date'of .December 24, 1942, requiring a monthly report of excesses, including lumber. Specific instructions were issued whereby advice of excesses in one Division be furnished all other Divisions, transfer of excesses between Divisions without reimbursement was authorized and a,check required of arising requirements against excesses in other parts of the country. This policy was formulated in September, 1942, looking toward the day when the'construction prog'ram as a whole would be completed.
"During this period, which might be termed the preparatorv stage for the war, the Corps of Engineers had, within the continental limits of the United States, over 16,500 projects with a total estimated cost of eleven and half billion dollars. I is natural that An operation of this immense character should have had accumulations of excess ma_ terials. It was of constant concern to this office that these excesses be disposed of by transfer between projects and to other agencies in the g.overnment in order that they might be put to beneficial use in the prosecution of thl

war. As a result of this action or policy, it is known that over $150,000,00O of excess building materials have been transferred to other proje,cts and other governmental agencies for war use. It is estimated that the remaining quantity in the aggregate does not exceed $75,000,000 or less than two-thirds of 1 per c€irt of the whole domestic war construction program conducted by the Corps of Engineers.
"From the point of view of lumber, the magnitude of the program is probably best emphasized by the statement that in a single month, the lumber business supplied more than one billion feet of lumber for army construction alone. Housing facilities provided under the program are more than adequate to care for the entiie population of the city of Chicago. In one month, Jaly, 1942, the Corps of Engineers put in place $751,000,000 of construction, a record never hitherto equaled in the history of the world. When one considers the size of the job and the speed of the_ job, one can conclude, quite properly, that the Corps of Engineers feels a justifiable pride in this record.
"The matter of disposal of the remaining excess materials has the constant attention of the Office, Chief of Engineers. It is not the intention of this office that any materials, particularly lumber, shall be retained without a reasonable belief that benefi,cial use will be made of it. When one sees lumber piles .around the country, one should keep in mind, first, the immensity of the undertaking and second, the necessity for a constant program of main: tenance and repair."

The 33rd. annual meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association was held at the Multnomah Hotel, Portland, Ore., on January 28. The program opened at 9:30 'a.m. with a forenoon session on industry affairs, industrial forestry and the war job of the West Coast lumbermen.
The luncheon program was focused on postwar planning, with Oregon's Governor Earl Snell, WCLA President Orville R. Miller and Charles L. Wheeler, president of Rotary International and executive vice president of Pope & Talbot, fnc., speaking to the Association's members and guests. Governor Snell's subject was The Forestry Program of the Association of State GovernmentS, while President Miller spoke on The Opportunity of the Lumber Industry in Postwar America, and Mr. Wheeler on Industrial Planning for the Postwar Period. At the luncheon meeting G, T. Gerlinger, newly elected president of the National tumber Manufacturers Association, was presented.
The first topic of the morning session was Rules for Loading Open Cars, and the last was a talk by Philip Boyd, director of the War Production Board's Lumber Division. Other subjects discussed were The Home Planning Institute, The Future of Timber Fabrication, and Indutrial Forestry in Relation to National Conservation Policies.
Lumber production in November, 1943, totaled 2,870,765,ffi board feet, bringing production for the 11 months, January through November, to 30,822,150,000 board feet, WPB reports.

A ceiling price of $25 per 1,000 feet, log scale, for "woods run" grade alder, maple and ash logs produced in Oregon and Washington west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains was announced by the Office of Price Administration today.
The new ceiling price is approximately 8 per cent below the current level at which logs of the three species are selling in the area but at a level approximately 15 per cent higher than the September-October 1942 base period level.
A maximum price of $17 per 1,000 feet, log scale, is established for cottonwood logs produced in the two States west of the Cascades. This new ceiling price brings no change in current cottonwood log prices in the area.
Sales of alder, maple, ash and cottonlvood logs by most producers in the territory had been exempt from price control pending issuance of the ceilings announced today.
(Amendment No. 32 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 3€ (Logs and Bolts). Effective January 26, 1944.)

Dealers may add their increased costs, too. (Amendment 82 to Revised Supplementarv Regulation 14 to GMPR), effective Jan. 19.
While maximum prices for prefabricated farm buildings -hog and poultry houses-have been transferred to CMPR from the farm equipment regulation, manufacturers may continue to use their old prices. Base period is the same, OPA explains, and prices are basically the same (Amendment 84 to Revised Supplementary Regulation 14 to GMPR), effective Jan. 25.
Effective date of quota restrictions on the use of new wooden containers for shipment of cantaloupes, melons, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, lettuce and radishes, is postponed from Jan. 1 to April 1.

Contacts made recently with some of the old-time lumbermen, have given me much pleasure and satisfaction.
Along about the year 1885, three young men were fello'lv workmen at the lumber yard located at 5th and San Pedro Streets, operated by the Los Angeles Storage Commercial & Lumber Co. Frank H. Ransom was a clerk {or the California Door Co., occupying a portion of the warehouse, L. E. Behymer was foreman of the lime and cement department, while the writer had a short experience rvorking in the yard.
Frank Ransom left Los Angeles and I met him later at the Shaver plant in central California and also at the Eastern & Western plant in Portland, and so kept up onr acquaintance. Not long ago I read a notice in The CaliTornia Lumber M'erchant of his appointment as president of the Eastern & Western Lumber Co. and wrote him a letter of congratulation. I had 4 fine letter in reply rvhich I passed on to Mr. Behymer, which "Bee" replied to sending me a copy of the letter he had written to Mr. Ransom, recalling old times and expressing his pleasure of contacting him again after a lapse of over fifty years. I was happy to have been the means of bringing them together.
I used to see Mr. Behymer acting as usher and renting opera glasses at the old Childs opera house, which started him on his career as one of our leading impresarios, and our most beloved citizen. I have been honored by his friendship and have letters from him telling of his early misadventures. I attended the celebration of his 80th birthday a year ago which was attended by over five hundred of our leading citizens.
The writer, the third member of the trio, in later years become one of the owners of the yard when it was acquired by the Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Co.
I also had a letter from Ernest Dolge of Tacoma, Wash., telling of his retirement from business, having disposed of his interest to the Stimson Mill Co. people of Seattle. He was the son of the Mr. Dolge, who at one time operated
a felt factory in paftnership with H. E. Huntington at Dolgeville, near Alhambra.
Dolge left Southern California when quite a young man and located in Tacoma and for a time acted as purchasing agent for the Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Co., to our mutual satisfaction, and he insists on giving us credit for helping him to get started in the business which he conducted so successfully. We have maintained our friendship all these years and I have visited him at his beautiful hom'e located on the shore of a small lake outside of Tacoma. In his last letter I was gratified to have him give credit to Frank Ransom for good advice rvhen first starting in business.
My last contact was with Chas. E. Dant of Portland, from whom we used to buy cargoes in early days, but whom I had not seen or heard from for over twenty years. Mr. Dant wrote me a long letter telling of his numerous activities which place him among the leading operators in the Northwest. Tfe spoke of his connection with the InmanPoulsen Lumber Co. of Portland. for whom I once sold car lots in the'l\Iidwest many years ago. Itre also mentions outbidding Frank Ransom in the purchase of a large timber tract for fnman-Poulsen. Mr. Dant is now at his winter home in Palm Springs and I have his promise to call on me at an early date.
The writer is the eldest man in the quintette, all of .rvhom have surpassed me in accomplishments, but I am quite content to rest in reflected'glory.

J. Philip Boyd, director, Lumber and Lumber Products Division, War Production Board, in the following letter to the lumber industry on the subject, "IJse of War Food Administration Program for trncreased Production of Forest Products by Famers," states:
"At the request of WPB, the War Food Administration has developed a program to increase the production of forest products from farm woodlands and to provide farm labor for forest industries during the off-agricultural season. This program will be carried on through the County War Boards in every county having marketabe timber.
"Bulletins have been sent out by the War Food Adrninistration to the State War Boards, outlining the forest production program to be undertaken by County War Boards. Briefly their program involves the contacting of farmers having farm woodland products in order to promote a maximum of timber harvest and to give assistance whereever possible in the harvesting and marketing operation.
"Agricultural workers of the WFA have extremely close contact and considerable influence with farmers throughout the country. The support of this agency should be of great value in stimulating the farm production of forest products. However, their program will be of little value unless the in_ dustry actively follows up the work that has been started by making direct contacts with state and County War Boards.
"The WFA program is designed to help the forest prod_ ucts industries meet their own raw material requirements. We, therefore, strongly urge you to take full advantage of this program by cooperating closely with State and County War Boards by furnishing them with specific information as to your needs for raw materials, giving them specifica_ tions, prices that you will pay, and all necessary marketing instructions. The WPB lumber advisers and the Timbei Production War Project personnel are fully informed about ancl are cooperating in this program, and may be utilized in securing the assistance of County War Boards, It is also recommended that, when you secure agricultural workers for your opefations and desire to continue their employ. ment for more than six weeks, you promptly apply to your local U. S. Employment Service office for their Certificates of Availability."
R. A. Seemann, Seemann Lumber Company, Encinitas, has purchased the San Pedro Lumber Company yard. at Whittier and will operate it under the name of Seemann Lumber Company. Mr. Seemann will make his headquarters at the Whittier yard.

Los Angeles, Jan. l2-Prospects for an early spurt in Southland civilian building construction today were definitely "out the window" local 'War Production Board headquarters announced.
Watt L. Moreland, WPB Deputy Regional Director lor Southern California, received word that after extended consideration of the matter at a full meeting today of the War Production Board in Washington it was decided to continue present restrictions on new building "until the probable course of the war becomes clearer."
.Shortages of lumber for military construction and for crating of shipments to troops overseas was the major factor in the decision, Mr. Moreland said, and sudden developments overseas might require huge additional quantities, hence an adequate reserve-in this country is necessary. IXe added that manpower shortages here would make a local residential boom out of the question.
"This does not mean that there will be no more housing for war rvorkers in Southern California," the WPB chief cautioned. "\N'e are expediting the building of nearly 32,W new homes schedules for completion within the next several months. It is this cgnstruction program that is absorbing all available material and manpower in the arca.. Priorities therefore will continue to be available only for housing and other construction that is of utmost urgency to the war program."
Portland, Oregon.An estimate of the probable consumption of lumber from the 'Western Pine region for the first quarter ol 1944 is given in a statement issued by the Western Pine Association here today. The statement in full is as follows:
Freliminary ,estimates of. 1943 U. S. lumber productiou, which may later prove conservative, indicate a volume about l2/o less than that produced during 1942. Shipments are estimated to exceed the production by approximately one billion feet, this amount coming from mill stocks. fn vien' of the many obstacles which have confronted the industry during the year, this is an excellent recordof accomplishment. Also, despite the same dire predictions of lumber shortage which were made during 1942 in an apparent effort to discredit the lumber industry in the public mind, there is no evidence to show that any specific part of the war effort has been actually delayed because of a lack of lumber.
Government forecasts lor 1944, show further substantial decline in the lumber demand for war'construction. However, due primarily to the tremendous increase in rvar requirements for boxing and crating, these forecasts anticipate the total lumber needs for 1944, will at least equal those in 1943. The lumber industry can undoubtedly meet the actual 1944 war requirements if the war agencies will give intelligent, practical support.
Preliminary estimates' of fourth quarter performauce indicate that the Western Pine industry during 1943 produced 5 billion 689 million feet and shipped 5 billion 856 million feet. This means that production was 7.5/o less than for the year 1942 and shipments 10.5/o less. Tliis record is apparently better than that of any other major producing region and is particularly significant when it is recognized that the production of the Western Pine industry in both 1941 and 1942 exceeded by almost twenty per cent the region's production in any previous year of its history. Another most en'couraging development is the volume of production during the past two months, November and December, 1943. For the first time since last May the production in those two months exceeded that for the same period in 194?.
Based on geueral predictions and all other available
information, it is expected that during the first quarter of 1944, the shipments (consumption) of Western Pine lurnber will approximate one billion 85 million feet. This is 94 million or8/o less than was shipped in the same 1943 quarter. This will obtain, in spite of an indicated production equal to that of the same period last year, due to the lower level of stocks at the year end as compared to those on hand at the close of 1942. Obviously, first quarter shipments will be limited only by ability of the mills to make deliveries. The Western Pine industry continues to do an excellent job as a part of the war e{fort in spite of all the obstacles of the war time economy and of the inexcusable bungling on the part of some war agencies.
