IIARDWOODS fOR WAR NEEDS!

Air Medal Awarded to James Russell Carlson

Mrs. Edna Carlson, wife of Earl A. Carlson, Santa Fe Lumber Co., San Francisco, has been informed by the Adjutant General's Office of the War Department, that by direction of the President. the Air Medal has been awarded to their son, James Russell Carlson, Private First Class in the Air Corps, reported missing in January, 1944.

Mrs. Carlson was informed that the Air Medal will be forwarded to the Commanding General, Ninth Service Command, Fort Douglas, {Jtah, who will select an officer to make the presentation to her personally=

The citation is as follows:

"For meritorious achievement by participating in more than one hundred and fifty hours of operational flight in transport aircraft, as aerial radio operator front 29 July, 1943, to 1O November, 1943, over the dangerous and difficult Assam-China air routes, where enemy interception and attack was probable and expected. Flying at night as well as by day, at high altitudes over impassable, mountainous terrain through areas characterized by extremely treacherous weather conditions necessitating long periods of operation on instruments, often encountering severe icing conditions and mechanical difficulties requiring courageous and superior performance of his rgspective duties to overcome, he accomplished his missions with distinction. His achievement in the hazards and difficulties faced regularly and continuously with steadfast devotion to duty reflects much credit on himself and the Army Air Forces of the United States."

ANNOUNCING Our Fiftieth Anniversary

Ot the Sth day of February , Igftl,we will celebrate the Golden Anniversary of the founding of the E. K. Wood Lumber Company by Edwin K. Wood at San Francisco, February 5, 1895.

We take this opportunity to express our grateful appreciation to our many loyal customers, our friends in the lumber industry, and to our employees, who have contributed so much to our success.

Engaged as we are in all-out war production, we pledge the continued use of all our energies and facilities in furtherance of the war effort.

Wherever you are this winter night, Beneath white stars or silver rain. God will keep you in His sight, Because I asked Him to again.

Wherever you are these new, co,ld days, Beneath the sun or clouds of snow, God's own sharp eyes witl ever gaze, Upon the every step you go.

Wherever you are, my dearest dear, In crimsoned war-ground's hellish clime, Remember He is somewhere nearI send Him to you, all the time.

Whenever Voltaire said something, there was wisdom and power in it. Witness this little remark: "I envy the beasts two things; their ignorance of evil, and their ignorance of what is said abo'ut them."

{.*{<

I guess I shocked some good and scholarly friends of mine the other day when, in discussing the great men of history, I placed Voltaire right close to the top of my list. Because he did more to set men free and strike the shackles from their minds and wrists than any other one man in all history. And freedom is the priceless gift that rnust be prized above all other human possessions. Yes, friend, if you want to meet the greatest champion of human freedom -and a man who championed it when such championship

"If those who are the enemies of innocent amusements had the direction of this world, they would take away spring and youth; the former from the year; the latter from humanlife."-Balzac.

Take pains with the letters you write; even with your humdrum business letters. Take some of the drum out of them, and put in more of the hum. Every letter you write influences the opinion of someone regarding the sort of person you really are. Many of the world's greatest reputations have bebn built upon the writing of letters. Surely with the brains God gave you, you can think of some better way to open a letter than saying: "Replying to yours of such and such a date and so on, etc." Most folks write that sort of stuff, without thinking how entirely free from intelligence it really is. **!F

Wrote Heloise to Abelard: "What cannot letters inspire? They have souls; they can speak; they have in them all that force which expresses the transports of the heart; they have all the fire of our passions; they can raise them as much as though the persons themselves were present; they have all the tenderness, the delicacy of speech; and sometimes even a boldness of expression beyond it." We thinking humans waste a fine weapon when we write poor letters' * {. *

Letters have had a profound effect on the history of the world during the last nineteen hundred years. The letters that Paul wrote were the strongest pillars upon which the citadel of Christianity was builded. The letters that Luke wrote gave us the most beautiful pieces of literature ever printed, including the story o,f Christmas. Neither of them said "yours of the fifteenth to hand and'contents duly noted," or any of that rot. If they had, the story of Christianity might never have been written.

I have quoted in this column before the priceless gift of letter writing possessed by Abigail Adams, wife of President John Quincy Adams. There is nothing in our literature finer than the thoughts that fell from her pen. I thought of her the other day when reading of the Presidential inauguration, in Washington. On the day John Quincy Adams was inaugurated, his wife wrote him these words: " 'The sun is dressed in brightest beams, to give thy honors to the day.' And may it prove an auspicious

interlude to each ensuing season. You have this day to declare yourself head of a Nation. 'And now, O Lord, my God, Thou hast made Thy servant ruler ovpr all the people. Give unto him an understanding heart, that he may know how to go out and come in before this great people; that he may discern between good and bad. For who is able to judge this Thy so great a people?' were the words of a royal sovereign; and not less applicable to him who is invested with the chief magistracy of a nation, though he wear not a crown, or robes of royalty." That is a fair sample of the letter writing of Abigail Adams.

There is one thing tfrat*t * o""" keeping me hot under the collar the last few years, and that is so-called polls of public opinion that we read about in the papers all the time. I've been waiting patiently for someone to start injecting some facts into this sampling system of finding what the public thinks, but it has been slow in coming. Recently Congress has begun making some inquiries into these poflls, their methods, and their results, but even this approach seems to me to treat the matter with a lot more respect than it deserves. I am speaking, you understand, of these folks who, without going to the trouble to ask us, proceed with all the positiveness of a galled mule whose hind leg has been tickled, to tell us exactly what we think about important matters. ***

Of course, the American public loves to bo imposed upon. It always has. Some wise man has said that humbuggery is our national vice. P. T. Barnum built a great reputation on that philosophy. He said that there is a sucker born every minute, and his job was harvesting them. If he had lived today he would have changed that remark to read every second, instead of minute. Fluman nature hasn't changed. There are just more of them. I can't think of anything that so completely imposes on my intelligence as the calm assumption that you can find out what a thousand men think by simply asking one or two of them. How anyone but an intellectual doodlebug could fall for that sort of stuff is beyond me. It wouldn't fool a long-eared burro in the Mexican desert'

You understand, of course, that these folks who so brazenly tell us all just what we think, make no pretense of having asked us. O, not at all ! According to a recent magazine article on the subject "the pollsters contend that if they didn't actually interview you, they DID a person of the same age, race, religion, sex, income, etc.," and they discover what YOU think by asking HIM. But did you ever tell any of these pollsters what YOU thought? Did you ever know anyone who ever told any of them what they thought? Yet you pick up the papers and discover that they know what all of us think. Any man who believes such stuff should run, not walk, to the nearest surgeon and have his skull lifted to give his brain room to grow.

But, say the pollsters according to this magezine article, results are what counts. We guess right, they say. f can only think of one answer to that. NUTS ! Everyone knows

about statistics, and how difficult they are to disprove. If it were possible to prove it, I would like to bet that three intelligent, well-posted men working together, could come closer to an actual poll of public thought than these socalled samplers do. I don't believe you can tell what one TWIN thinks, by asking the other. Yet they would have us believe that they can find out what a million strangers think, by asking a few scattered individuals among! that number; sampling them, they call it.

Just how our newspapers, for whom I have the greatest respect, came to foist these samplings of opinion upon the public undir the masquerade of truth, the Lord in His infinite mercy only knows. I don't understand it. But it is my. opinion that if they feel they must publish such stuff, there should be a pure news law that would compel them to print along with it a statement showing how the figures are arrived at; how many people and what people out of how many, were actually interviewed. Then, knowing the mechanics of the thing, if any man wanted to put faith in such figures it is his own business. But this nation has too much at stake today to have its opinions on vital matters colored by alleged facts and figures obtained by absent treatment and remote control.

The hardest solar plexus punch American business has received within the memory of man, was the appointment of Henry Wallace to the office of Secretary of Commerce and the leadership of RFC and all the huge governmental lending agencies. Just at a time when business, economics, and financc face an unprecedented struggle in the postwar era, comes this appointment. Henry Wallace, who killed the pigs when the world was hungry; 'who plowed under cotton when the world was naked: whose name has come to mean radicalism from one end of this land to the other. Henry Wallace, prophet of the "coming revolution" (which he piously hopes will be bloodless). Henry Wallace, on whose whole past history the word "FAILURE" is indelibly stamped. Henry Wallace, whose ability to add two and two and come within two of getting the correct answer, is seriously doubted by business and finance in general. If Mr. Roosevelt was seeking a way to scare countless employers and investors out of business, he made the perfect choice. Henry is as fit for that job as hell's fit for a powder house. The "mystery man," they call him. The only mystery about Henry is how would he eat if he ever got ofr the government payroll.

Osdind Deflection Chart lor Douglas Fit Plywood

This diagram is designed to show deflection of Dougla-s Fir plywood rough or-sanded, in any- thickness from r/s" to I'i/16" inclustive, uniformly loaded with from 20ft t9. iOCO# per sq. ft. and freely supported on from 12" to 36" centersi the grain of the faces running either parallel or perpendicular to the sPan.

The four ctlrves, marked "Douglas Fir Plywood"- were constructed by plotting the EI value for each thickness, kind and grai.t direct;dn. l|he value of Modulus of Elastiliiy, E, i"as taken at 1,600,000.-.The Moment of Inertia, I, *'ar calculated as that of the plies having grain direction parallel to the span plus one-twentieth that of the plies ira.oitrg grain direction perpendicular to the s-pan' Douglas Fir Piyfi'ood Association standards were used for thickness of plies.

The curves representing "uniform lo. ading"- (w)we.r9 constructed by plotting thi value of. w/EI-against the .EI values. The scale tor w/EI was used for the construction of the chart only and is not shown on the chart' The scale was approximaiely I inch equal to w/100,000 EI on the full size chart.

The straight lines representing the span, 1, were.located by plotting the deflection against the rv/EI, using the

formula: d : 5WL^/384F] for simple beam loading' Th9 scales showing deflection for continuous beam loading .1nd in concrete foims were constructed on the basis of doubling the deflection of simple beam to obtain that of contin-uous beam and adding 2O/o to the latter for wet concrete lorm'

As added featirres to the chart, there is a weight curve showing approximate mill weight of Douglas Fir plywood oer 1006 toifo." feet and letters under thickness scale indicate the sizes that are stock items and those that are special and made to order only. The Supplementary Chart is- an enlargement of a portion of the main chart for use when the piywood in question is too thin to permit a close enough reading of the main chart.

The directions for using the diagram are shown on the chart. It is as easy to find the most economical plyw-ood for a given set of ionditions (including permissible deflection) is to find the deflection of the plywood, other factors being known, by direct readings of the. chart without any adjuitments of ioad factor to suit special conditions.

This chart was preparecl by Benjamin Ostlind, staff engineer of California Panel & Veneer Company, P.O. Box N96, Terminal Annex, Los Angeles 54. Copies of the cha.rt will be sent without charge to those who have use for it, if request is sent on their firm's letter head.

Celehrilto$ [iftieth Annivor$ilry

E. K. Wood Lumber Company, nationally and internationally known manufacturers and distributors of West Coast woods, will celebrate the firm's Golden Anniversary on February 5,1945.

The company was incorporated in San Francisco on February 5, 1895. The incorporators were: Edwin K. Wood. Clarence A. Thaver, Marian S. Wood, Orson M. Kellogg' and Fred J. Wood.

The Founder

Edwin K. Wood, founder and first president of the company, was one of the great pioneers of the country's lumber industry. He was born in Eagle, Wyoming County, New York, February 17, I84O. His boyhood was spent on a farm at Gainesville, New York. In 1861 he entered the Civil War as a private, was wounded at Hanover Court House, and was mustered out as Corporal in June, 1863.

He taught school for a time after the war, and in 1865 went to Stanton, Michigan, where in partnership with Giles Gilbert he took a contract to build a State road extending five miles north from Stanton through the pine forest. He built a shingle mill at this 'time and traded shingle bolts for groceries from the general store he had established. When the contract was finished the partners built a lumber mill at Derby Lake, near Stanton. Mr. Wood married Miss Marion Thayer in 1867. He built and operated lumber mills at several other Michigan points and his business prospered. Clarence A. Thayer, Mrs. Wood's bro,tlrer, started to work in Mr. Wood's store in I874, and Orson M. Kellogg started working in one of the mills in 1880.

Between 1884 and 1886 Mr. Wood made several trips to the Pacific Coast and invested heavily in fir timber in Washington. In 1885 he was elected on the Republican ticket to the Michigan State Legislature. Following his term in the Legislature he and Clarence Thayer were associated in the operation of a sawmill at McBride, and a branch store under the name of Wood & Thayer. His son, Fred J. Wood, entered the business in 1BB9 and operated the Townline Lake mill until 1891, and then came to San Francisco with his father.

Mr. Wood bought the Hoquiam mill in 1892, rebuilt it, making it the first band mill on Grays Harbor. O. Xf. Kellogg was made manager. The Bellingham mill was built in 1901, and was put in charge of Fred J. Wood. This mill was destroyed by fire in 1925. After this the mill that was built in Anacortes, Washington, in 1923, was run on a double shift.

Mr. E. K. Wood passed away in July,1977. He and Mrs. Wood had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in January of that year. Of all the messages of sympathy received by Mrs. Wood at this time the following paragraph from a resolution by the Douglas Fir Club of San

Francisco indicates the high regard in which Mr. Wood was held in the industrY:

"In the varied relations of his active life he earned the esteem of his associates by his quiet gentleness and reserve force, his fairness and generosity. He translated into the terms of everyday life his ideals of justice, faith, duty and honor."

Fred J. Wood succeeded his father as president and held that office until his d'eath in 1937.

Walter T.'Wood, also son of the founder, began his service with the company in 1900. He served as vice president in charge of the head office of the company at San Francisco. Walter passed away after a short illness in tgD.

Upon the death of Mr. Fred J. Wood he was succeeded as president by his son, 'Warren B. Wood, grandson oi the founder, who had attended the University of Washington, and had started to work for the company in Bellingham in 1916. Mr. Wood remained at Bellingham until 1928, except for the period of. l9l7 to 1919.when he was in the U. S. Army. He was at Los Angeles from 1928 to 1942, when he moved to the San Francisco office.

J. B. Wood, vice president in charge of sales, makes his headquarters at Oakland. He is the son of Walter T. \Mood, and grandson of the founder. He graduated from the University of California in 1934 and started with the company in 1935.

The Califqrnia Operations

Soon after the incorporation of the company in 1895 a wholesale yard was established in Redondo Beach, Calif. by E. K. Wood and Robert Dollar. In connection rvith this they operated the steam schooner "Newsboy."

Later yards were opened at San Pedro and Los Angeles. The Los Angeles distribution yard occupies a site of 27 acres. J. A. Privett is manager.

The Oakland distribution yard was opened in 1908 with James Wadell as manaegr. The present manager is James McNab. The Oakland yard site is 17 acres in extent.

A line of 12 branch yards is operated in Southern California. Harry Call is manager of line yards.

E. K. Wood Lumber & Supply Co., San Pedro, Caiif., is in charge of Marco De Nicolai.

Sawmill Operations

A few years ago the company bought and rebuilt their present sawmill at Reedsport, Oregon. This mill produces around 40,000,000 feet of lumber annually, practically all Douglas fir. Clarence E. Elliott is manager.

Recently completed and ready to operate is a new remanufacturing plant at Roseburg, Oregon. This has a daily capacity of 125,W feet, and was designed to handle the product of a number of small mills in the district.

C. R. De Vaney is manager.

Sailers Replaced by Steamers

It is interestirig to recall that starting in 1890 when they built the schooner "E. K. Wood" in Hoquiam, the E. K. Wood Lumber Company operated a large fleet of sailing schooners, carrying cargoes of lumber and other merchandise to the Orient, Australia, South America, South Africa and many other countries, also to the California yards. The sailing vessels were sold in 1923 and 1924, when most of them had been replaced by steamers.

The E. K. Wood Lumber Company has been engaged to the fullest extent possible in work connected with the war effort for the past several years. The mill at Reedsport has made a specialty of cutting boat lumber for the Government, the ordinary lumber being supplied for crating and construction.

A great quantity of lumber has been shipped to the yards at Oakland and Los Angeles where it has been prefabricated into houses, packing cases for all kinds of wal material, and other items for war use.

\(/ar Manpower Commission Classes Logging and Lumber Jobs "Critical"

Logging and lumber production, previously rated essential, have been reclassified as critical activities in a new listing issued January 16 by the War Manpower Commission. This assures workers in the woods and mills equal draft status with men in shipyards, aircraft and munitions plants.

Under a directive recently issued by War Mobilizatior, Director Byrnes, men in the 26-D not engaged in critical activities are to be called for military service before those who are so employed. This is the age group presently being reviewed by draft ,boards.

Specifically included in the new list as critical activities are timber tracts and logging camps, cutting of pulpwood, wood for tanning extract, sawmills, and veneer, planing and plywood mills. Production of wooden parts of aircraft, ships, and other military equipment is also classed as critical.

Cooperage-stock mills, fire prevention, pest control, forest nurseries, and reforestation services are in,cluded in activities listed as essential, but not critical. Also included in this class are production of portable and prefabricated buildings, box shooks, wooden boxes and containers, and excelsior.

Los Angeles Firm Mckes New Type Incinerctor

Acme Blower and Pipe Co,, 12@ Nadeau Street, Los Angeles, established in 1932, manufactures and installs blower systems for woodworking plants, planing mills and other industrial plants. They make a specialty of the Acme Incinerator with water washed top. This method increases the draft and burning capacity, and at the same time eliminates the nuisance of half-burned sawdust and dust being carried on the breeze to the nextdoor neighbor.

E. W. Lowther, president of Acme Blower and Pipe Co., has had long experience in this business. He started with a Seattle concern in 1920, and has been in the business in Los Angeles 21 years.

Mr. Lowther was raised in Eureka, Humboldt County, in the Redwood Empire. It is interesting to note that his father, W. T. Lowther, was head sawyer for the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co. in Eureka for 45 years.

SYLVESTER

Another new word is looming upon the horizon-Sylvester ! Sylvester signifies the building industry. He speaks for lumber dealers-or rather-calls for lumber dealers from coast to coast for he is always in trouble. He goes through all the emotions-has all the problems that confront the average man when faced with the insoluable questions found in a house.

Slyvester was created by Hank Ketcham, who also does the cartoons of Half Hitch, the pint-size sailor, who appears weekly in The Saturday Evening Post.

Slyvester is made available to all dealers in the industry through the services of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, and the Federated State and Regional Associations.

Each month the clip service will carry, not only Slyvester, but also other one and two column ads on timely promotions. In addition the NRLDA ofiers a series of spot cuts-little illustrations of things lumber dealers everywhere are selling-which may be incorporated into such advertising as local dealers wish to use. These illustrations come without advertising copy and can be utilized as a dealer sees fit.

A Dubious Question

His boss had been away from home for several days and had phoned the missus that he would be in on the eight o'clock train in the morning, and to have the car meet him and take him direct to the office for an important engagement. So this colored chauffeur was at the depot to meet the boss, all right, but he made a mistake and fell asleep in the car that was parked behind the depot. The train arrived, the boss got off, and seeing nothing of his car or driver, he jumped in a taxi and went to the office, from where he phoned his wife.

Of course the driver had to have a good story ready to explain why he came home without the boss, so he said:

"Missy, I done met dat train, sho nuff, but de boss he nevah showed up a-tall."

She said: "Well, that's interesting, because he just phoned me from the office."

The darkey scratched his head as he hurriedly debated this unexpected problem. "Mam," he said, "you don't reckon de boss got in las' night, does you, an' jus' fo'got to mention hit?'

The Go-To-Hell Fleet

A graphic account of life aboard an L.S.T. (landing craft) is given in verse that rhymes, more or less, by Paul F. Murphy, somewhere in the Atlantic. This is the final stanza:

Now we lay us down to sleep, On L.S.T. invasion fleet.

Punny (?) crafts with rugged crews, Floating bathtubs with twin-screws. Sleepy men from happy homes, Sleepy men with aching bones. fnvasion crews of volunteers.

Old in knowledge, young in years. Men who gladly die to tell, The whole damn world to go to hell.

No Cover Chcrge

The wandering Westerners of the old days on the plains, their abode was the great out-of-doors, the roof over their heads the sky's canopy. One of such was Old Pete Mason, a driver on a freight wagon train. Most of the ment slept under their wagons at night, but not Pete. When the rest of them went under the wagons to bed, Pete would take his blanket and saddle and walk out under the open sky and lie down.

"Why don't you sleep under your wagon, Pete?" a newcomer asked him one night.

Pete just answered: "Too confinin'."

That's When

Luke: "My son doesn't seem to want to marry anybody."

Mcluke: "Don't worry. Just wait until the wrong girl comes along."

Delinition

"Pa, what is a flapper?"

"Son," said his Pa, "a flapper is a young woman who does everything an old maid would like to do but hasn't the constitution to stand."

Wlry Not the Regiment?

The society lady wrote to the army officer saying:

"Mrs. John Sears requests the pleasure of Captain Jones' company at a dinner, August 18th, at seven P.M."

She received the following reply by return post:

"With the exception of fourteen men who, I regret to state, are at present in the guardhouse, Captain Jones' Company accepts with pleasure Mrs. Smith's invitation for dinner August l8th, at seven P.M."

Goodness!

When Jones's little girl was born, They set their hearts a-flutter, They called her oleomargerine, For they hadn't any but her.
