How lrumber Lrooks

The Lumber and Sawmill Workers LTnion (A.F. of L.) called a strike at the Redrvood mills in Mendocino and Humboldt counties on January 14. The principal union demands arc a 22f cents an hour pay increase, union shop, and the right to fix relative wages of workers. An increase of 15 cents an hour, the same as accepted by Fir workers in the Northwest, was offered and was turned down by the union.

Seattle, Washington, Januarv 11 , 1946-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in December (4 weeks) was 88,271,000 board feet, or 54.4 per cent of l94l1944 average, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 90,489,000 b.f.; shipments 85,550,000. Weekly averages for November \\'ere: Production 53,686,000 b.f. (33.1 per cent of the l9+l-I941 average) ; orders 60,152,000; shipments, 50,018,000.

Fifty-two weeks lor 1915, cumulative production 5,799,672,M b.t.; 52 rveeks, 1944,7,902,289,0@; 52 weeks, 1943, 7,920,42t,W0.

Orders for 52 r,veeks of 7945 break down as follows : Rail, 4,609,336,000 b.f.; domestic cargo, 658,037,000; export, 402,576,000 ; local, 578,918,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 738,232,000 bJ at the end of December; gross stocks at 400,4O5,000.

1945 was a year of uncertainties and shocks for'West Coast lumber prodrrcers. Since V-J Day, the in<lustry ha.;

continued to meet one crisis after another. Its outlook is on market conditions rvhich defy prediction because they are new and changing; for example, the Civilian Production Administration's Priority Regulation 33 on lumber and nine other building materials, to promote the building of dwellings costing $10,000 or less. Lumbermen are as much in the dark on the eft-ect PR 33 may have on their business as they were on war demands for lurnber at this time last year.

In November, 1944, the prospect of an early V-E Day rvas lrright. In January, 1945, the "Bulge" disaster rvas raising a flood of nen' rvar orders for lumber. They receded with victory in Europe, and then urgent demands for lumber to supply the attack on Japan struck the mills. V-J Day brorrght cancellatior.r of military orders for over 300 nrillion feet of West Coast lumber. Then came a crippling strike. Nationalll', builcling construction has continued to n-rark time, because of scarcitv of building labor and lorv supply of ten key materials.

The West Coast lumber industry stands equipped with vast reserves of fine timber, modern mills and able personnel, to produce for home building. But the industry faces lines of normal production and trade which are in a complex of controls that survive from the emergencies of rvar. The giant building industry, surging n'ith productive po\\,er, is under a thousand restraints that fornr a tangled web from the forest to the homesite. The West Coast lum-

Export Sellers Redwood Lumber and Arcata Redwood Company Sold Milfwork M.y Add 92J 5 Per 1000 To Hill-Davis Company

Sellers of redwood lumber and millwork may add $2.75 per 1,000 board feet to f.o.b. mill ceiling prices in all F.A.S. (free alongside ship) sales for export, rpgardless oi the class of buyer, the Office of Price Administration has announced.

This authorization became efiective January 14, 1946.

Up to this time, the addition, u'hich covers extra costs involved in assembling, srvitching, unloading, tallying, deck insurance and other expenses in F.A.S. sales, could be made only in such sales to the Lend-Lease Administration, British Air Commission, British Purchasing Commission, and other Government agencies or their contractors.

Permission to apply the addition in the past was authorized only in sales to those Government agencies because shipments rvere strictly controlled during the lvar, and could be made only to emergency users.

Since the end of the war. however. Lend-Lease and British Commissions have stopped buying redrvood lumber and milhvork, and export shipments again are going to foreign users to lvhom shipments rvere macle before the war.

The extra costs involved in F.A.S. shipments, OPA said, continue to be extra expense for the seller, and the present actiolr will give sellers in all export sales the sar.ne F.A.S. allowance they received previously on sales to Lencl-Lease and British Government agency purchasers.

Arcata, Calif., Jan. 6.-4. change of ou,nership of major importance in Humboldt county lumber circles was made today rvhen it rvas announced tl-rat the Hill-Davis Company, owners of large tracts of redu'ood timberland in the county, had acquired by purchase stock control of the Arcata Redrvood Company, located a half mile north of Arcata on the Redu'ood highway.

No change 'ir.ill be made in company personnel or in company plans of operation. Horvard A. I-ibbey rvill continue management as in the past; William E. Bishop will remain as mill superintendent, and William A. Stewart as srrperintendent of lumber manufacture, yarding and shipping. Sidney Rogers will continue as offrce manager. Harry Wier rvill carry on in charge of logging operations.

A1l of these men are experienced redwood operators and are widely known in Humboldt County. No changes are anticipated in the woods or the mill crews. Frank Watson is in charge of the lumber sales of the company rvith headquarters in San Francisco, while J. J. Rea of L-os Angeles represents the firm in Southern California.

The new owllers today announced that there would be no increase in production at the present time, and it will be the policy of the company to put the timberland it holds on a sustained yield basis, assuring a permanent operation for the Arcata plant.

Harry W. Cole, who for many years had charge of the Little River Redrvood Company's operations at Crannell, Iurd u'ho for sonre years has looked after the timberlands of the Hill-Davis Company, will continue to represent them.

Whot This Preferenre Meons to You os o Deoler . o .

\ZOUR oustomers in the building trade know I that the immediate problem is not to sell houses it is a problem of looking to the fufure and finding ways to compete with the ierry-builder who can see only as far as immediate profits, who will resort to misrepresentation, who will use slipshod methods and substitute inferior materials.

The quality builder knows that this is only leading to disaster and the ultimate collapse of his market and the source of an honest profit. JohnsManville offers you an extraordinary opportunity to help your builders meet this type of competition

by identifuing themselves with building materials which have outstanding consumer confidence.

Read the facts as reported on this page from a scientific national poll of public opinion.* This public preference forJ-M Home Insulation is more than iust a reason for using quality insulation. It has values for the builder that go beyond that consideration: it can be made a leader in helping him maintain himself as a quality builder,

In Home Insulathn k's Johns-lllanville 39 to I

Johns-Manville Rock \7'ool Insulation has eamed this overwhelming acceptance, and now we are offering your builders a plan to identify themselves with the confidence in the name 'Johns-Manville."

To help you and them, we have developed a complete merchandising program, a feature of which is theJ-M sign of qualityas shown onrhe oppositepage.

This whole program is backed by one of the most powerful advertising campaigns ever offered to help our dealers and the better builders of the country. \7'e will tell the public just what good insulation is and how to recognize a quality job.

Thirty million people per month will be told to look to the builder who has been qualified to use the quality Johns-Manville sign. They will be told that it stands for Rock $/ool Home Insulation uniformly applied at proper density and full thickness, and that the builder displaying the sign is entitled to their confidence.

* In a-scientific public opinion poll recently completed, the question was asked, "For Home Insulation, what company do you think of first as a manufacturer in whom you would have confidence?"

75/6. p.f those interviewed knew the name of a manufacturer, 5a.6Vo said Johns-Manville. t.5/o said Company "A". t.Ofs said Company "8". O.8% said Company "C". The remaining L3.l/o was divided among 6O other manufacturers of home insulation materials.

Thus, Johns-Manville was named approximately 39 times oftener tbar any otber mamtactarer oJ bome insul.ation,

Johns-Mo nville Home I nsu lqtion

to look for this sign!

Coast-to-coast radio network will broadcast messages like this: Last Sunday a friend of mine went out to look at new homes, "Tony," he said, "how can I make sure that the house I buy is properly insulated ? \7hen t ask the builder or his agent 'Is this house insulated?' he'replies, 'Of course,' and I have to take his word for it." Now,JohnsManville is glad to answer that question over

the radio for the benefit of millions of prospective homeowners. You can be sure that a house is properly insulated if there is a sign in front of it which reads "Quality Built with JohnsManville Home Insulation." Such houses are insulated with Johns-Manville Rock Wool and 'the insulation is uniformly applied at ProPer density and at full thickness. For your Protection, we recommend that you look for this sign.

I do not so much as hope that the pleadings made in these editorials will have the effect of changing the opinions of my readers. It is my earnest intention, however, to try and rearrange some of their prejudices. That's about all discussion ever accomplishes. ***

Treat everyone with politeness as you travel along, even those who are deliberately rude. It is worth remembering that you are courteous to others, NOT because they are gentlemen, but because "*Ot* "T.

That philosophy is not always easy to follow. You meet some rough numbers everywhere you go. A great admirer of Will Rogers, I never believed he meant his most quoted remark that he never met a man he didn't like. He met too many people for that to be possible. But he could be polite to them, of course.* * *

One of my dearest friends (knowing one of my conversational weaknesses) once remarked to me, rather pointedly: "I have never in my life called a man a Soandso." (Only he didn't say it quite that way, you understand.) And I said to him: "Then what in hell do you call all the Soandsos you meet everywhere you go? You can't move without bumping into one." * *

I fear I use my expletives more frequently and fervently and soulfully of late than I have ever done before. The things I see going on about me in this country scare the living daylights out of me, the trend toward heartbreak and national despair being so plainly apparent, and so definitely mapped and planned. Surely every thinking man and woman is asking today that vital questietl-"Quo Vadis"-(whither do we go?) >k

In Daniel Webster's day, the things he criticized and complained of were as molehills to mountains compared with the dark clouds on our present horizon, yet that great man felt called upon to declare in vehement manner: "There are persons who constantly clamor. They complain of oppression, speculation, and the pernicious infuence of accumulated wealth. They would choke the fountains of industry, and dry all streams. In a country of unbounded

liberty, they clamor against oppression. fn a country of perfect equality, they would move heaven and hell against privilege and monopoly. In a country where property is more evenly divided than anywhere else, they rend the air shouting agrarian doctrines. Iir a country where the wages of labor are high beyond parallel, they would teach the laborer he is but an oppressed slave."

Remember a fellow named John Garner? You should, for he was as unique in his time as any man in history. He is the man whom when offered a great sum of money to make a regular radio broadcast, replied: "John Garner is not worth any part of that amount, AND THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES IS NOT FOR SALE." That honest statement made at a time when everything from the dome of the national capitol down was being commercialized, should give John Garner a place high on the list of America"r."rlo were not for sale.

Mirch discussion of our Russian ally, Marshal Stalin. Men discuss his aims, his ambitions, his place in history. Why not call him "Stalin the Liberator"? For he IS, if you will thoughtfully consider the matter, the champion Liberator. First he liberated Lithuania from the Lithuanians. then Latvia from the Latvians. Estonia from the Estonians, and Poland from the Polish. Later he liberated Finland from the Finns, the Balkans from the Balkans, and other parts of Central Europe from the folks who lived there. Now he proposes to liberate large chunks of Turkey (all white meat, mind you) from the Turks, the oil sections of Iran from the Iranians, and great portions of Mongolia and China from the Mongolians and Chinese. He wants to liberate from six to nine billions of good American dollars from us on top of the twenty billions he already liberated from Uncle Samuel, and also insists that he liberate the atom bomb from our selfish grasp, promising to use it as gently as he has used his less detructive powers in the above mentioned liberations. His latest move is to liberate Japan from the grasp of MacArthur. Yes, sir, when it comes to being the all-time champion liberator-meet the Champ-Marshal Stalin ! If he gets the atom bomb he ought to be able to liberate the entire world -his way.

He reminded me of the American highbrow who went to the oldest part of the Old World long ago to seek for great truths and new historical and scientific facts. Finally his people received from him a highly enthusiastic cable. He said he had made the greatest literary discovery in all the history of mankind. He had discovered that Homer was not really the author of the Iliad at all; it was another Greek by the same name.

I like this Southern gentleman, personally, but I'm afraid he's already a great bust as a diplomat. I must take back what was said about him in this colurnn when he took office. After recalling the fact that from the beginning of World War fI, in all the meetings and discussions that took place among the aUied leaders, we had given everything, got nothring because we had asked for nothing. Our pockets bulging with every sort of war-making wealth, we simply put out the goods, asking not even safe contracts in return. And I uttered the opinion that while the horse was already out of the barn and too late for much remedy, I believe if he had a chance Jimmy Byrnes would do some trading in OUR OWN BEHALF. It seems I was wrong. Mister Stalin is APON-ain't putting out nothin'. We did, and still do, take the short end of everything.

And so ,r.*.r,uo.r, ".r:"; ,1".,. ,r".r, throughout this country since the Byrnes appeasement program was finally announced. It has been criticized and condemned by most everybody but the followers of the communist line. The screams remind me of the gentleman who heard a great racket in his yard oire day and asked his Chinese cook what was the trouble? The Chinaman answered "Butcher killee pigee-pigee no likee."

Only one outside job is being done by the United States in the world today that we can all be proud of, and that is the inspired job MacArthur is doing rin Japan. We are making a mess in Europe, apparently, a terrible mess. But MacArthur, moving and thinking exactly as he did in his great march back from Australia to the philippines, is performing miracles. And Jimmy Byrnes gave Stalin the right to veto any of MacArthur's actions he may see fit. Certainly the Magnificent Mac has had mountains of foolish

opposition to overcome in order to achieve his great successes. But he shuts his jaws and goes ahead with his work. You can practically hear him saying to himself : "Minnows are safe-I'm out after whales." And he just scorns the little souls who snap at his stout heels.

Speaking of the *"r, *J "i ,rl"Ut* in Europe. A month ago the nenrspapers announced that UNRRA had discharged SIX HUNDRED operatives for black market operations. Have you stopped to think what that means, that six hundred men had been caught stealing and selling the food we send over there to save the starving women and children of Europe? Why, good heavens, friends, that isn't stealing ! That is plain, wholesale murder. Murder of the innocents. So they were discharged ! If ever men should have been promptly and summarily HUNG it should be men who steal bread from the mouths of starving kids and women. What greater crime can you think of? As a matter of fact, the most terrific criticisms I have heard from eyewitnesses of affairs in Europe, have been directed at the administration of UNRRA. It is a grand thing to dig into our pockets to provide food and clothing for the young and the helpless; and it is a horrible thing to know that that most vital of all jobs has been bungled-is being bungled-and that those needy ones are NOT getting a maximum of the things we send. There is no possible excuse for such mismanagement. That is one place where men of great ability and experience should have been used. And they could easily have been had.

Historians agree that J"J; do not come alone, they always come in clusters. And so, likewise, do mediocre men. The great are always surrounded by the great; the small by the small. Oh, Lord, couldn't You please hurry history a bit if need be, and usher in for us another cluster of great men? God knows we need them, don't you Lord?

Size o[ Mesh, Not Shape, is the lmportant Factor In lnsect Wire Screening

Bv Ralph \7. Bacon. Secretary, War-ernergencv 18 x 14 mesh insect wire screening is equal in protective efficiency to 16 x 16 mesh, but is less effective against smaller insects than 18 x 18 mesh, according to recent scientific tests made by, trvo leading r.rniversities for the insect rvire screening industry.

I'he tests, begun this past summer at the University of lilorida and the University of Delarvare, shorv conclusively that size of mesh, rather than shape, is the most important lactor in insect u'ire screening. They also indicate 14 x 14 rrresh screening to be ineffective except against flies and l:rrger insects.

More than 7,000 live mosquitt-res were employed in 167 separate tests clesigned to explore insect reaction to all conceivable atmospheric, temperature and lighting conditions under rvhich woven wire screening would ordinarily be required to furnish protection.

The university research is now completed, but another phase of the program, in which the rigidity, strength and other physical properties of various mesh sizes are being studied at the l'ittsburgh Testing Laboratory, is still in progress.

The research had its inception in April, 1945, when the armed services instructed the wire screening industry to produce nothing but 18 x 14 mesh, as a substitute for 18 x 18 and 16 x 16 rnesh. In June, 1945, the War Production Board issued an amendment to Limitation Order L-303. stipulating that on and after July 1, 1945, only 18 x 14 mesh wire screening could be produced for either civilian or military use.

These directives were predicated on calculations that the change yguld increase production without necessitating any increase in. Skilled manpower, which was at that time and is still d prime factgr in the industrial picture.

While complying in full with these emergency orders, the wire screening producing industry re,cognized the need for more scientific information on the subject than was then available, and set up a special budget to underwrite impartial studies of the relative protection furnished by the mesh sizes in question.

Contracts were entered into r'vith the two universities

Insect \X/ire Screening Bureau

and lvith the independent testing laboratory for a series of closely controllecl tests .l,r,hich would be as critical as human ingenuity could devise, and rvhich rvould be entirely impartial.

'fhe tests lvere concentratcd on 18 x 18, 18 x 14 zrncl 16 x 16 mesh sizes of electro galvanized steel and commercial bronze insect wire screening; about 6,000 mosquitoes being used in 123 tests of these three sizes. The remaining tests u'ere divided a.nrong 14 x 14 mesh and :t few other sizes and shapes.

Since the smallest species of mosquitoes could be expected to yield the most critical determinations with regard to respective efficiencies of the mesl-r sizes being studietl, Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, was used in great numbers. It is one of the smallest mosquitoes common to the United States. Although tl.re malaria mosquito, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, is cor.rsiderably larger than Aedes aegypti, it was also used, because it is extremely prevalent in many sections of the country.

Actual results of these tcsts, summarized. briefly, showed that an average ol 3.6/o of rnosquitoes confined in specially constructed cages \l'ere able to get through 18 x 18 mesh screening; 24.7o/o escaped through 18 x 14 mesh; and 24.9/o escaped through 16 x 16 mesh.

Efforts of wire screening producers in recent years to discourage the sale of l4 x 14 mesh were supported bv the "escape" figures for that siz.e: 55/o of the mosquitoes confined in 14 x 14 mesh cages, were able to get through.

The voluminous statistics furnished by the universities prove that 18 x 14 mesh is not comparable to 18 x 18 mesh in protective efi6ciency. It is, however, definitely on a par with 16 x 16 mesh, and it is accordingly evident that size is more important than shape in the effectiveness of any mesh.

Complete details of the tests at the University of Florida and the University of Delaware, together with the findings of tl-re Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory, will be made public 'ivhen all of the ll'ork now under way has been completed.

PR-33 has been amended by several changes, chief among which are as follows:

The period during which builders rvere required to start actual work on a project has been extended from 60 to 90 days.

Builders who plan to construct one-family dwellings, for sale only, need only specify in their application the maximum price at which they will offer them for sale, and need not specify a maximum rental.

In the case of a two-family dwelling, for which a maximum sales price of not more than $17,000 and a maximum rental per apartment of not more than $80 per month is fixed, the builder must specify both sales price and rentals in his application for priorities assistance.

With respect to brokerage or commission, in specifying his maximum sales price, the builder must make provision for brokerage or commission in that price. In the case of resale by a veteran or other buyer, during the life of the regulation, the brokerage or commission may be added to the maximum price at which he is permitted to sell.

The amendment also states that PR-33 is applicable to future veterans-those awaiting discharge-when they are applying to build homes for themselves.

Direction 1 to Priorities Regulation 33

Washington, D. C., January 15-The ltecor.rversiorr Housing I'rogranr swung into acticln today as the Civilian Production Adrninistration's new I'riorities Regulation 33 became effective and the first of its directions to channel scarce materials into betrveen 400,000 and 50O,0C0 moderate and low-cost housing r.rnits for veterans rvas issued.

The first direction to PR 33 spells out the methods by which lumber and millrvork will be channeled into the housing program. Directions covering the other materials included PR 33, like castiron bathtubs, soil pipe and radiation, gypsum ltoard and lath, clay products, and concrete l-llocks will be issued later this rveek and early next r,r'eek.

Direction I ellective today provides for the part which sawmills, distributrlrs, oflice rvholesalers, millu'ork manufacturers, harclrvood flooring manufacturers, and housing contractors are required to play in providing 9 billion board feet of lumber in 1946 for moderate and lor.v-cost housing to which veterans rvill be given special preference.

Sawmills, coming u.ithin the provisions of the Direction include, (l) mills or plants producing in 1945 or expecting to produce in 1946 at least 2,000,000 board feet of softwood or 1,0@,000 board feet rif hardrvood lumber, and (2) concer.rtration yards or plants protessing into lumber (by drying, sawing, edging, grading, sortir.rg, planing or otheru'isc) at least 25 per cent of the total volume of logs and lumber received.

Under Direction 1 sucl'r sawmills, beginning Februarl, I and in each succeeding n.ronth thereafter, must reserve from their total lumber production .10 per cent of their expected softwood lumber production in the form o{ "housing construction lumber" and 100 per cent of the flooring grades, i.e., 2 and 3a, of hard maple, oak and pecan in thicknesses ol 5/8 tnch,4/4 inch and 5/4 inch. Each month's reserve must be held until the 20th of that month for delivery to certified orders in preference to all other orders (except AAA ratings). On or after the 20th day of the month, any of the production reserve not taken on such orders may be solcl to otl.rer rated and unrated orders.

A distributor, (one who buys and stocks lumber for resale, either at wholesale or retail) may obtain housing construction lumber by placing certified orders each month rvith a sawmill or office wholesaler for one of the following amounts, whichever is greatest: (l) An amount not exceeding five per .cent of the total footage of his softwood lumber inventory as of January 1,1942; or (2) an amount equal to the total footage of housing construction luml;er

called for by the orders ratecl HH which he has accepted for delivery in that month ; or (3) one carload of housing construction lumber in each of any two qf the three months in a calendar quarter. Housing construction lumber received on a certified order must be held for 60 days beginning on the day of its receipt for orders rated HH or AAA. At the end of the 6O day period such of the lumber as remains may be sold on other ratings or in the free rnarket.

An olfice wholesaler (one u'ho buys and sells but does not stock lumber) may accept certified orders from distributors, and flooring and millr.vork manufacturers, and housing contractors and may fill these orders by placing certified orders with the sawmill.

A milllvork manufacturer may obtain housing construction lumber by placing certilied orders with a sawmill or office wholesaler each month for an amount not in excess of 5 per cent of the total footage of softwood lumber he consumecl in the manufacture of millwork in the year 1940. A quantity of such lumber equal to the lumber received on such certified lur:r'bcr must be used in the rnanufacture of milh,vork. At least 75 per cent of this millwork must be held for 60 days after completion for HH rated orders (rvhether served directly or extended to him by a distributor) in 1>reference to all other orders except AAA. At the end of the 60 day period. zrny of this millwork rernaining r.nay be sold on other rated orders or in the {ree market.

A l-rardr,vood flooring manufacturer may obtain hardrvood flooring lumber by placing certified orders rvith a sar,vn-rill or of6ce rvholesaler each month for an amount not exceeding 6 per cent of the hardrvood lun,ber he consumed in the manufacture of standarcl hardwood flooring in the year 1940. He is.then governed by the same set aside and disposal rules for his product as is the millrvork manufacturer.

A housing contractor (any individual who has been authorized to apply an HH rating) obtains housing construction lumber by placing an HH rating with a distributor or by placing a certified order with a sawmill or an office wholesaler. However the total footage covered by the HH or certified order must not be in excess of the quantity needed to meet his construction schedule as authorized by the Civilian Production Administration or the Federal Housing Administration under Priorities Regulation 33.

Wrong or Rigrht?

A Catholic bishop and tlis vicar-general were examining a class in Sunday school.

"What is matrimony?" asked the vicar.

"Matrimony is a state in which sinners suffer for a time before being allowed to enter into the Kingdom of fleaven," replied little Jimmy.

"No, no, my child," said the vicar. "That is purgatory you are describing."

"Ilush," said the Bishop, who was something of a wag' "Perhaps the child is right. You don't know."

Shcrnghci Town

The curved roofs go up and down Along the streets of Shanghai town, And from the doorways, almond eYes, Curious, friendly, smiling, wise, Watch the hurrying West go past. 'lBrother, whither away so fast?"

The curved roofs go up and down Along the streets of Shanghai town; The Foreign devil cries, "Make haste, Life passes; there's no time to waste !" But these calm, slanting eyes look on, "Tomorrow, friend, another dawn."

The curved roofs go up and down Along the streets of Shanghai town; The white man lives. as white men will Almond eyes are on him still; Saying, "Calmly, slowly, friend, Women and time will never end."

"'Arrison"

Two Cockney Englishmen were talking over the phone, and one asked the other what his name was.

"'Arrison," was the reply.

The man on the other end of the line said: "Speak louder, old Chappie, II'i cawnt understand you."

"'Arrison, 'Arrison," repeated the other. "A haitch, a hay, two hars, a high, a hess, a ho, and a hen-'Arrison."

Extrcrs

By Eddie Guest

When you're building your house, take a warning from meDon't alter or change any thing that you see ! When once you've agreed on the cost of the place, Go out of the city, and don't show your face.

To the mason, the plumber, the carpenter's crew, For the things they call "extras" will paralyze you'

Should you say "Put a hook there, to hang up my hat," You'll find as an "extra" they've charged you for that. Should, by chahce, you remark to the boss, "Do you think The gas range should stand where you're putting the sink?" He will say, with a smile-"That's a very good change"But that's twelve dollars extra for moving the range.

Should you fancy white paint where you've ordered it blu,e, Right gladly they'll smear on the white stuff for you, But they've somewhere in hiding, a man who keeps books, Who counts up the nails and the bolts and the hooks, And seeing white paint where the plan called for blue, He puts down an "extra" and bills it to you.

That man is a marvel ! He eats not, nor sleeps, So strict an account of your order he keeps. Should you change but the type of a hinge on a door, That goes down as "extra" and costs you much more. So, when building a house, alter nothing you see' And beware of those "extras" which bankrupted me.

Poor Crops

The two colored tenant farmers were talking over crops. "Sho had a bad crop," said one. "Ah planted twenty akuhs in string beans, an' didn't git enuff beans to pay fo' de string."

"Dat ain't nuthin'," said the other. "Ah planted thuty akuhs in cawn-an' we done drunk hit all up in one night."

Repcrtee

A man entered a hotel, placed an overcoat on a rack, and pinned a card to it which read: "This overcoat belongs to a champion prize fighter. Back in ten minutes."

When he returned the overcoat was gone, but the card was still there. To it had been added: "Overcoat taken by champion long distance runner. Won't be back at all."

Long-Bell Announcet Personnel Changes

California M.y Get Less Lumber

"California may get far less lumber {or home construction than previouily thought, if OPA issues an order which t-to* appei.s to have its favbrable attention," acco-rding to Orrie 'W. Hamilton, secretary-manager of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association.

"The new order OPA has in process will permit sawmills located on the Pacific Coast to charge $2.50 per 1,000 feet more for Douglas fir lumber, to buyers on the east coast who receive iheir lumber by water shipment, than those mills would be permitted to charge to buyers on the west coast.

"To those who are not familiar with the market, it might seem that the order would be beneficial to lumber co.rsumers in California. However, the order will not rvork that way under present conditions for the following very definite reasons:

1. I-umber production is far short of current demand' This creates a sellers' market, which means that lumber producers can sell their entire output at the highest price allowable under OPA regulations.

Clyde Starling has been promoted in the sales department of The Long-Bell Lumber Company to head a newly created buying office in Eugene, Oregon, General Sales Manager E. H. llouston has announced. Mr' Starling, who has been with Long-Bell for 23 years, left the position of district sales manager in Minneapolis, \{innesota, to open the rierv ofifrce *,hich will specialize in buying lumber from the many mills in Oregon {or all Long-Bell departments'; He'came west in early January to assume his ne'rv d.uties and returnecl, in mid-month to arrange for the moving of his wife ancl two children to Oregon. \\'endell Brown, a ?O-year Long-Bell man, has been transferred from the Omaha, Nebraska, office of the comparrl' to Minneapolis to take over the territory formerll' covered bv Starling.

John D. Leland has joined The Long-Bell Lurnber Company in the capacity of assistant to Vice President R. P. Combs, financial offrcer of the comPany. Mr. Leland, rvhr-r has been engaged in the banking bttsiness in Ner',' England for several years, 1ef t the Br<lokline 'Trust Coml>itrry, Brookline, N{assachttsetts, to join the Long-Bell org:tnization. He u'ill spencl the majority of his time in fanriliarizing himself n'ith the Western operations of the company with offices in Longvier'v, Wash. His u'ife and three chiltl-crr ;tccompanied him to Longvier'v.

Z. That being the case it means that a large number of mills located on or near harbors will turn their attention to the eastern market lvhere they can get a higher return for their lumber.

3. Those are the mills that normally and historically supplied lumber to the California market.

4. With those mills shipping the bulk of their production to the east coast where they can get a higher return it very definiteiy means that California will receive far less lumber than they would if the above order rvas not issued by the OPA.

"It also means that OPA 'lvould be creating another condition similar to that pertaining to export lumber sales, u,hich has not been corrected."

Ycrd Prices Softwood Shingles qnd Lumber Frozen at December I Levels

'The Office of Price Administration has "frozen" at December l, 1945, levels the ceiling prices distribution yards may charge for Western Softwood shingles and Northern Softrvood lumber.

The action became effective January 22, 1946.

f)etails of the "freeze" are as follows:

Maximum prices which retail distribution yards may charge on sales of Northern Softwood and Western Cedar shingles lumber must be computed from the maximttm prices ior mill sales in effect December 1, 1945.

For sales by wholesale distribution yards and in rvholesale-type sales by retail yards, however, distribution yards may continue to pass through to buyers any mill price increases becoming effective after December 1, 1945.

Immediate effect of the "freeze" is to. require retail distribution yards on most sales to absorb mill price increases of $2 per 1,000 board feet for Northern Softwood lumber, and h cerrts per square for Western Softwood shingles.
