Portland, Oregon, January 15, Lg47-December water shipments of lumber from Oregon and Washington seaports to other parts of the United States totaled more than 70,000 tons, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, announced today.
Reflecting a return to normal peacetime distribution, the volume was a jump of 130 per cent over November, and 123 per cent over December, 1945, Mr. Simpson said. Tonnage shipped amounted to 47,997,N0 board feet.
"A large proportion of this tonnage, which is restoring Pacific Northwest ports to their normal level of activity, will go to the lumber-starved Eastern Seaboard," Mr. Simpson explained. "This area has been harder hit during the past shortage period than any other region."

In our entire history, no editorial has brought the enthusiastic and complimentary letters from our readers that our Christmas Vagabond did, concerning "Doctor Luke, of Antioch, the Man Who Gave Us Christmas." Hgre are a few samples out of several hundred replies received:
. H. L. Morris, Quincy, Florida, said:
"Your editorial 'where do we get the story of Christ,mas' is too wonderful'an article for anyone to pass wlthout complimenting you. It is a sermon within itself, and is an article that the writer is putting into his scrapbook of gems. Also into a scrapbook of literary gems he is making up for his daughter. Your subscribers are fortunate."
I. K. Campbell, Altadena, Qalif.
"Please stand and take a bow for the splendid and most interesting article about Luke in your Christmas edition. For a layman to write such a story makes all laymen proud, but when the author is a lumber layman, I am sure it makes all lumbcrmen happy."
W. B. Wickersham, Pasadena, Calif.
"Your editorial on Luke interested'me intensely. It also startled me a bit. I have read the gospels a good many times but never quite from your viewpoint, and I shall always think of the 'beloved physician' with more appreciation."

The Hansen-Lund Lumber Company at Fontana, Calif., has opened a new, modern lumber store.- The building was completely rebuilt, and the store has an area ol 24ffi square feet. The exterior of the building is of white stucco, and the lower part of the front is constructed of glass installed off the perpendicular which brings the entire store within the view of passersby. Along the front of the building, flower boxes were built of flagstone for flowers and shrubs.
The furnishings and fixtures are finished in hardwood, hnd close to the ceiling are fluorescent bars giving off indirect lighting. Attractive counters, with glass on the front to display merchandise, parallel two of the sidewalls. Eight three-tiered "islands" occupy portions of the floor space constructed to show hardware goods. The company features a full line of hardware, paints and building materials.
The retail store, storage building and lumber yard occupy half a city block.
The Hansen-Lund Lumber Company is owned by Duft S. Hansen and Ray L. Lund. The yard was formerly operated as the Hansen Lumber Company, and was opened for business by Mr. Hansen in January, 1925. He purchased the yard from the Fontana Farms Company. When Mr. Hansen established another yard in Riverside in 1930, he moved there, and Mr. Lund took over the management of the Fontana yard. Last year, Mr. Lund became d partner in the business and the name was changed to the HansenLund Lumber Company.

Featured qxclusively in the Eubank Cabinet Ironing Board, now available for immediate delivery nationally, is a cast aluminum swivel support which gives the board unusual flexibility in use. Patented by the builders, I-. H. Eubank & Son, Inglewood, California, the support holds the board firmly in an upright position while in the cabinet and provides rigid support when the board is lowered into position for use. Once lowered, the board may also be swung through a wide horizontal arc, allowing it to be used in exceptionally narrow hallways and in other locations where space is limited.
Not one of the swivel supports, according to the builders, has ever failed in normal use.

Lately I've been in touch with a crusader. Being myself an emotional lout, he has fired me with much of his own enthusiasm. Unlike most crusades which are generally highly controversial in their nature, this one will stand the test of logic. The only strong enemy that this crusader has to overcome in his drive, is inertia. So, of course, he shall win his crusade. **<>f
My crusading friend is a very old lumber friend of mine, known and acknowledged to be one of the stand-out personalities in the whole lumber industry, Mr. Ray Saberson, of St. Paul. Mr Saberson is the merchandising professor of all the Weyerhauser interests. That is his business job. But right now he is devoting all his time and genius and developing enthusiasm to a new side-line he has taken on; the old Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo.
Last fall they made him take the job of Snark of the Ifniverse, which he did with considerable trepidation. But the thing grew on him with mighty rapidity as he dug into it, until today he is all that a crusader should be, as described in the opening paragraph of this piece. What started out as a campaign to make Hoo-Hoo a great and good and benevolent and practical driving force in the lumber industry, has become a definite crusade, gathering force and momentum with every jump. By this time-and the drive is new-both Saberson and all his friends have been sucked into the vortex of the campaign. The same sort of enthusiasm that crossed the Brifue at Lodi and
made the great charge of the Light Brigade, has gotten tangled up with the Hoo-Hoo crusade.
Saberson's hope-backed by stout faith-is this: to make Hoo-Hoo something big and useful throughout the lumber industry; a vehicle in which all parts and portions of the industry can join together for the purpose of better acquaintance, better understanding, more fellowship, and more helpfulness. The way this can be done is through the organization of Hoo-Hoo Clubs in all lumber centers, and the holding of regular meetings, luncheons or dinners. In the retail lumber organizations, only the dealers act. In wholesale groups, the wholesalers meet alone. But in the Hoo-Hoo Clubs, splendidly exemplified by the several successful and permanent ones in California, all departments of the industry meet and join hands.
* ,i ,1.
They do not meet to talk lumber, or to talk building. In the Hoo-Hoo Clubs of California the programs are almost exactly like those of the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lion, or other service clubs. The programs are seldom on the subject of lumber. They are educational, instructive, amusing, or entertaining. Lumber is only talked around the tables and informally. The only difference between these Clubs and Rotary Clubs for instance, is that all those present are lumbermen, giving them a closer tie than in other Service Clubs. I say "Other" Service Clubs, because that is exactly what a modern Hoo-Hoo Club is; a SERVICE CLUB. They should meet monthly, or semi-monthly at the most, have regular officers and working committees, and it is surprising how easy it is to get out the attendance at such meetings, and to hold such clubs together. I mention the California Hoo-Hoo Clubs because there are more of them than in any other state or district, and they have the largest membership. They go right along happily and successfully, and the attendance and enthusiasm seems spontaneous. What is done in California can certainly be done elsewhere.
In the old days Hoo-Hoo was mostly a series of initiations, or Concatenations as they are called, and there was nothing in between to hold the fabric of Hoo-Hoo in place. Also in the old days they got too careless about the qualifications of the membership; they spread Hoo-Hoo out too thin. And so Hoo-Hoo went into eclipse, especially in the South, where Hoo-Hoo was born. You will remember ifyou are an oldster in the industry that Hoo-Hoo was born' 56 years ago in a small town in Arkansas, and that for quite a number of years it played a very prominent part as the "playground of the lumber industry." It sank into
(Continued on Page 10)
(Continued from Page 8) eclipse for the simple reason that it had no regular job, was accomplishing nothing between initiations. In the new HooHoo that Saberson is ballyhooing so successfully, the initiations play a very small part in the picture. It is the Clubs, their meetings, their programs, their good fellowship, and their respectable and respectful philosophy that gives HooFfoo something genuine to work for.
*tF't
But let Saberson, himself, tell the story of his plans, his hopes, and his Hoo-Hoo ambitions. In a recent letter to me, he has this to say: "fn your 'Vags' you have been preaching the same gospel to your readers that I have recently to Hoo-Hoo. You know how your readers like it. I have found the same thing to be true of Hoo-Hoo. You have penned many an able editorial concerning the need in the lumber industry of cooperation, friendship, understanding, good will among men, the Golden Rule. The lumber industry is now crying out for a wider application of these saving virtues. Where wilt the answers be found? God knows it is time to bring back to the lumber industry some of the essential virtues it seems to have forgotten. HooHoo is the best medium through which it can be done.
"r have found rroo-rrJo u;*;. from what r expected. Frankly, I haven't been very interested in it for a long time, largely because of the sophomoric antics of the old days at the initiations. You know the story. But I find Hoo-Hoo is far beyond that stage. In Boston a few evenings ago, just as an illustration, I saw the kind of an initiation that would have done your heart good' an inspiring affair put on with dignity, followed by a grand dinner, and lots of good fun. \il/e can have them everywhere. California is one of the best Hoo-Hoo states, largest membership and most clubs. There arc 532 active members in the Hoo-Hoo Clubs of California. High class men are now showing an interest in many states from Florida to Texas. There is room for at least forty good Hoo-Hoo Clubs in the South. **
"Seems to me like a grand and glorious opportunity to do a great job for the lumber industry. At least I'm going to give it my best for a year, although the Lord knows I would rather be home with my family in front of the fireplace. But the possibilities and opportunities for Hoo-Hoo have me inspired. Hoo-Hoo Clubs can be at least as successful and interesting as Rotary, Kiwanis, Exchange, Lions, Optimists, and other Service Clubs. Men instinctively like each other when they become acquainted, when they have an opportunity to get together and thaw out, when they meet on common ground and on a friendly basis. Such contacts become of vital importance between men with
kindred interests. There is a great work to be done in the lumber industry. The Steel industry would love to have an order like Hoo-Hoo within its ranks, but never had it. Other big industries likewise. But lumber has the vehicle, the opportunity, and the need. *
"During the 56 years floo-Hoo has lived, countless other orders have been born of pedigreed parents in gilded halls; and have passed into silence. But Hoo-Hoo not only lives on but today is the proud possessor of the fattest bank roll in its history, and is growing at the healthiest rate it has evcr known. Its roster contains the names of the great and the near-great in lumber. The answer is simple. HooHoo lives because it has been held together by the golden threads of fraternalism, friendship, understanding, and the Golden Rule. Hoo-Hoo can be made great, and in turn can bestow great blessings on the lumber industry, and on the lumber people. I am pleading for help to make this dream come true. Organize Hoo-Hoo Clubs. Put them to work. Furnish the lumber industry with this stout and kindly cord to hold its people together in good will. I need your help."
Well, that's the story. I agree with everything Saberson says. Today the lumber folks have no general get-together organization. The retailers, the mills, the salesmen, the wholesalers all run by themselves. They have no common ground for meeting. Everywhere in the country where there are Hoo-Hoo Clubs, they are highly successful. No lumber city that owns such a club would be without it. It is respected, respectable, useful, practical, and colorful. It is a place where all lumber men may meet, eat, and get better acquainted. Hoo-Hoo having refused to die in spite of everything that has happened to it in 56 years, proves it was made to live. It would seem that it should have the blessing and support of this entire industry, wherever located. It conficts with no other organizations, with no other lumber associatitT, Y works to help them all.
The chief function of the lumber business is to provide for the material needs of mankind, to increase the wealth of the world and the happiness of mankind. In this mighty effort it has a strong arm that will help if it is used: HOO-HOO.

A tree is a tree when it's standing up, But it's something more when falling; So we'd better be running, lickety split When we hear the fallers calling, "Timber-r-r-r !"
A tree is a tree when it's lying down, But when hauled away from the hill, Detopped, debranched and sometimes debarked And shunted into the mill, it's a log.
Now, a log is a log when cut and slashed Into various lengths and sizes, And used by the builders with art and skill, In their manifold enterprises, it's lumbe:.
Lumber is lumber when piled in the yard, Or stored in the finish shed, But when it's transformed into good stout walls With a shingled roof o'i'er head, it's a house.
Now a house is a house when it stands alone, On a bit of Columbia's loam, But when lived in and cared for and dearly loved, It's more than a house, it's a home.

Described as the "hardest working vice-president the National has ever had," by retiring president S. L. Forrest of Lubbock, Texas, Norman P. Mason, new president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washington, D. C., brings to the office of president unmatched ability for serving the industry.
Mr. Mason is a lumber dealer in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, with the William P. Proctor Company, and was elected president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association during the Seattle, Washington, meeting, October 2L, 22, and 23. Born in Willsboro, New York, on Lake Champlain, where his father ran a pulp mill, he was brought up with an acquaintance of wood products. In 1910 his father bought a hardware business in Plattsburg, New York, and 2 years later, after grad_ uating from high school, young Mason went to work in that business.
During World W'ar I, he served as a rad.io operator in the Navy on the U.S.S. Manchuria-a troopship plying between New York and Brest, France. In l9A fr" ..rterea the retail lumber business.
Mr. Mason is past president of the Northeastern Retail Lumbermen's Association, and during the war and the immediate postwar period as vice president.of the NRLDA, has served on many important committees. He has repre_ sented the industry on the Construction Industry Aavis_ gry Council of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, on the lumber manufacturers' liaison committee, and as a member of the industry advisory committee to CpA and industry advisory committee to OPA.
In his own community during the war, he was a member of the local selective service board and at present is a mem_ ber of the Massachusetts Emergency Housing Committee and the North Chelmsford Appeals Board.
He is married and has a wife and two children_a son, 2l years old, who served in the Navy in World War II and at present is at Brown University; and a daughter 1g, now attending the Katherine Gibbs School in Boston.
Mr. Mason lives in the country and calls farming 3 acres "gardening." He has a large vegetable garden and a fruit orchard. His hobbies are golfing, which he plays in the 90's, and skiing and hiking, as a member of the Apialachian Mountain Club.
Peacetime production records were set in the West Coast Douglas fir region during 1946, and even greater Production volume may be expected f.or 1947. At the same time, progress made in the region's industrial forestry Program was outstanding, Promising permanent high-level Production for the future.
Douglas fir sawmills exceeded six billion foot output in 1946, topping the 1945 total by 169 million feet, and supplying enough lumber suitable for housing to build 300.m0 homes.
Lumber rolled from Pacific Northr,r'est manufacturing plants during 1946 at the rate of 833 railroad cars a day' Production for the year was 6,133,4@,000 board feet. In only two years before the war and since the fabulous 20's in 1936 and 1937, has lumber production surpassed the 1946 volume.
In 1947 West Coast sawmills will add a half billion feet to the 1946 production for a total cut of 6,500,000,000 feet, barring unforeseen obstacles.
In general the distribution pattern duplicated that of prewar years. Major exceptions were the Eastern seaboard, r,vhich because of transportation difficulties received less lumber than formerly, and the West Coast, which because of substantial population increases received more'
We expect that 1947 will witness more "shaking down" to the prewar shipping pattern. We are catching uP on a good many short items, and by spring or early summer the general lumber picture will be definitely improved-
We have 440,000,000,000 feet of saw timber still standing, and more than 9,000,000 acres in growing forests from 10 to 90 years of age. Under sound forest practices we are
developing a forest economy in the Pacific Northwest which will ensure an adequate lumber supply far into the future.
Climaxing a full century of progress, industrial forestry in the Douglas fir region also set new records during 1946. Mounting emphasis on long-range plans for sustained production has resulted in employment ol 27O full-time industrial foresters in the area during 1946. In 19'lO only 54 foresters were so emPloYed.
One of the year's most important developments is a reinventory showing that annual forest growth in the region has increased from 2.5 billion board feet in 1933 to 3.7 billion board feet in 1946.
This is an increase of approximately 50 per cent. Within another decade the increase will have at least doubled. This is due simply to the fact that old, stagnant growth is being cut, making room for growing trees, while more and more second-growth is reaching rnerchantable size.
Instead of the 6 billion foot cut of. 1946, we can safely lcut a minimum of 7 billion feet without depleting our forests.
During 1946 the first cooperative sustained yield unit was set up by the U. S. Forest Service and the Simpson Logging Company in the Shelton, Washington ' atea' Other such units are in process of formation.
There have been widespread developments in salvage logging, and a substantial increase in the utilization of what used to be "logging leftovers" in the woods.
The same is true of "sawmill leftovers." An example is the wallboard now manufactured by one company' This wallboard uses sawdust so effectively the company no lorrger can afiord to employ it as fuel.
Another forward stride is the development of flexible equipment for logging the former leftovers. This salvage logging equipment includes small sawmills which can be moved on wheels into the woods. Where feasible, too, this greater utilization program has featured a return to "horse logging."

Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.-Members of the Softwood Plywood Producers Industry Advisory Committee have gone on record as favoring proposed changes in the plywood order, L-358, the Civilian Production Administration said today.
Amendments discussed by the committee and officials of CPA's Forest Products Division and of the Office of the Housing Expediter include changes in the reserves which producers and distributors must hold to fill rated and certified orders. It is proposed that producers be required to divide their monthly output of construction plywood on the basis of 50 per cent to fiIl rated or certified orders and 50 per cent to care for orders from distributors which carry no preference rating or certification' At present, the required ratio is 40-60, the smaller portion going to certified orders.
ft also is proposed to reduce from 85 per cent to 75 per cent the quantity which distributors rnust set aside from their monthly receipts of construction plywood to fill rated and certified orders, and to cut from two months to 15 days the period during which they must hold these reserves in anticipation of certified orders.
The committee also urged the earliest possible revocation of all controls over the industry, pointing out that plywood producers had been among the first groups to come under bo.r.tttttt"ttt regulation, in August, l94l' Members reaffirmed the plywood industry's pledge to devote 50 per cent of its production to construction grades during all of 1947, and, said that this assistance to the housing program *orrid be continued, with or without Government control'
M. W. Niewenhous, director of the Forest Products Division, stated that is was necessary to retain the plywood controls in order to liquidate priorities and authorizations issued. prior to December 24, 1946' The proposed set-aside amendments are designed to make adjustments to meet outstanding programmed requirements'
Flames destroyed practically all of the San Mateo plant of 'the Peninsula 1\,tiiling Company with a loss estimated at $200,000. Incendiarism was suspected by police and fire department officials. Machinery and lumber supplies in the plant were destroYed.
This year has 'witnessed as well remarkable results from studies on the use of material from second-growth stands of Douglas fir and hemlock-material which ordinarily would be lost entirely as the result of natural mortality.
The studies have contributed materially to the means of making use of trees normally crowded out and killed" Scientific thinning will produce early crops of poles, piling, pulpwood, fuel, et cetera, without reducing the final log crop.
Four million seedlings raised at the Forest Industries Tree Nursery in the Pacific Northwest have been planted during 1946, chiefly in fail spots or areas denuded by fire. An estimated 7 million seedlings will be planted in 1947.
A very striking advance in the Tree Farm Program was made during this year. Tree Farms, of course, are the core of the plan to make Douglas fir forests continue to produce products and jobs into the foreseeable future.
During the year in the Douglas fir region, 112,115 acres of timber land in Oregon were certified as Tree Farms, while 83,006.5 acres were certified in Washington. This brings Oregon's total to 572,476, and Washington's to 1,624,354.5.
A new mill on the north branch of the Fraser River's north arm, about six miles south of Vancouver, 8.C., Western Plywood Company, is specializing in the manufacture of panels from cottonwood, birch and poplar, and is operating almost entirely in hardwoods.
The production of the new plant will be about 30,000,000 square feet annually, on a quarter'inch thickness basis.
John Bene, former managing director of Pacific Veneer Co., is president. He has had a long career in the plywood industry, and his family in Budapest operated plywood mills for many years.
James F. Macaulay is'sales manager. Most of the output is sold in Canada, with a part of it going to the United States and United Kingdom. The company employs more than 100 people.

At the close of the war between the states, the ex-Confederate soldiers took their stand for Anglo-Saxon civilization and saved the South from the fate of Haiti and the West Indies. To the survivors of the Confederate army who stood like a stone wall for white supremacy and preserved and gave us our present civilization, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid, this narrative is dedicated by the Author.
The youngest of those who wore the gtey have crossed the crest of the narrow ridge that divides two great oceans' and already have they decried from the Western slope the wide waste of waters that reach beyond the sunset. Not many years shall pass ere the last of those who followed the Confederate banner shall have set foot on that shoreless sea; the last footfall whose march shook a continent, shall be echoing in eternity. The rosy morn announces first to them that the night is gone, and when the day is past and the landscape veiled with evening shade, high on the mountain top the last ray of the setting sun lingers longest, loathe to leave the lonely place where the bright-eyed sons of the Confederacy rest in death.
Gone is the old South now. It sleeps the sleep. Its dreams are dead, commingling with the dust of golden hearts. Its perfume haunts us like the lingering hint of summer's withered garden. We'll hide its crumbling ruins with ivy green, around our hearts will twine till life is done, its glorious recollections. Good by, old South, Good by !

Log booms in Puget Sound, Columbia River and Grays Harbor waters held about l0/o mote logs at the beginning of this year than the year previous, notwithstanding that mills in December maintained operations at a tate to cause a net reduction of ll% in the tide water log supply, northwestern lumber reports show. Of nearly 676 million feet of logs reported in the water at the three collection points in January, about half were in Puget Sound, 40/o in Columbia River booms and IA/o at Grays Harbor.
Without the untiring and unselfish work of E. Bruce Hill, E. M. Hill Lumber Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this industry might have been completely elimi- , nated by OPA regulations during the war and before reconversion really had a chance to begin.
As chairman of the National Advisory Committee, Mr.' Hill tirelessly and unselfishly served his industry, and through the industry, his country, during World War II and the critical period of reconversion. In this thankless job, he fought the fight against chaos, regimentation, and the paralysis of an industry. His greatest victories were the unseen accomplishments of preventing hundreds of proposed theories from becoming actions that would have blocked the war effort, either on the home front or the battle front.
His knowledge of men, motives, and agency activity which led to the development and accumulation of pricing controls became invaluable during the first months of reconversion in the task of unravelling the red tape which had all but stopped the normal activities of the building industry.
In recognition of his service to his country and the industry, the National OPA Advisory Committee and the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association presented' Mr. Hill an inscribed watch on Christmas Day 1946. The watch was presented at a family dinner by his son, Alex Hill, who served with the Army Engineers in World War II.
E. Bruce Hill served in the Artillery during the first World War, and is a graduate of the Massachusetts'Institute of Technology.
Henry W. Collins, vice president of The Celotex Corporation, has announced the appointment of Henri, Hurst & M,cDonald, Inc., of Chicago, as the company's advertising agen'cy, effective January l, 1947.
Mr. Collins stated that plans are in preparation for an extensive advertising campaign on all Celotex products including Acousti-Celotex and Insulation Board, together with new products the company will introduce to the market during the coming year.
The Celotex Corporation is expanding its manufacturing facilities extensively, both through additions to its present properties and by acquisition of existing plants'
Death from pneumonia has come to Harry S. Knox, founder of Harbor Plywood Corp., Acme Door Co. and other Hoquiam, Wash., manufacturing concerns. He was ill only a few days.
A leader of the Pacific Northwest plywood and door industries for more than a quarter of a century, Knox was a building materials distributor turned producer in order to obtain supplies of the products he marketed.
His attention was first turned to Northwest production facilities in 1909, when he became owner of the John A. Gauger & Co., Chicago distributor of doors and millwork. Inl92l, as it became difficult to obtain stock fir doors to fill the demand which he had largely created, Knox bought the Hoquiam door plant of Schafer Brothers and named his firm Knox & Tombs.
Four years later, with his supply of plywood for door panels running short, he organized and provided the principal capital for Harbor Plywood Corp. He was president of ifre concern for several years and a member of the board of di_ rectors until his death.
He also was general manager of Acme Door Co., which he opened in 1939 with the most modern factory of the in_ dustry. His business leadership and financial backing also were combined to establish several other manufacturing plants and a bank at the Grays Harbor City, Hoquiam.
An enthusiastic sportman and in his youth one of the nation's outstanding tennis players, he was for a number of years president of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association.
He is survived by his widow, Gertrude G. Knox of Hoquiam, and a niece, Mrs. Paul Stromberg of Rockford, Ill.
Total timber cut from U.S. Forest Serice lands in Ore_ gon and Washington during 1946 was |,ZL6,S\Z,W board feet compared with L,084,952,m0 feet in 1945. This 131.5 million board feet gain was made despite labor difficulties which slowed logging during first quarter of last year. Oregon's forest service timber cut for 1946 was 7dg}go,000 board feet valued at $3,612,885. Washington,s cut was 427,332,0@ feet worth $1,965,161. Total value of the two states' cut was $5,578,046.

Earl M. Galbraith 'recentlY became sales manager of the T. M. Cobb Co., wholesalers of sash, doors, plywood, mouldings, and California pine lumber, with warehouses in Los Angeles and San Diego.
Mr. Galbraith has been connected with the lumber business for the past 35 years. He started with the Pendleton Lumber Co., Santa Ana in 1912. Later he went with the Hayward Lumber & Investment Co., Los Angeles, to take charge of their Long Beach operations. Then he lvas retail sales manager of the Hammond Lumber Company, Los Angeles for some time, and following that period was sales manager of the Schumacher Wallboard Corporation. He became asso'ciated with Hayward again as manager of their branch yards'
Throubhouf the y.ears IVIr. Galbraith's connection with the lumber business has been in :the, field of selling, merchandising ar"rd -rnanagement"' He has always been interested in the selling problems of the retail lumber dealers, and has helped many of them in the solution of these by thoughtful suggestions. He has a large acquaintance with retail lumbermen in both Northern and Southern California, and has a host of friends.
He has been secretary and treasurer of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club for the past three and a half years, and has made a fine success of this work' He is a thorough believer in the idea of Hoo-Hoo that it is good business to get men together from all branches of the lumber busi,r"rr. Th" large increase in membership is the result, in great part, of his earnest work in this position'
During the period of regulation by the OPA he had his own of6ce, and acted in an advisory capacity for wholesale sash and door and hardwood distributing firms, interpreting the multitude of orders and directives' And much praise has been heard o{ the excellent job he did in this regard.
Readers will have gathered by this time that the subject of this brief career sketch gets a great deal of his satisfaction in life from doing helpful things for others.
Mr. Galbraith was born in Kansas and came to Los Angeles in infancy with his parents. He became interested in lumber through his father, who was a building contractor.
Mr. and Mrs. Galbraith have their home at 148 North Wilton Place, Los Angeles. They have one son, Dr' Hal Galbraith, who was in the Navy during the war, and attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the dental division.
New York-Lawrence Ottinger president of U.

"A bill to put the State of California in the home cor.r_ struction business was introduced January 20 by Senator Bradford S. Crittenden, Republican, of Stockton. The billl calls for an emergency appropriation of $25,000,000 to be, used by the state government to acquire or build sawmills and other operational plants to .make construction mate_ rials available at once.' If necessary, timber for the mills would come from state owned forests. The state would also acquire sites and build homes for sale with the same value as the homes permitted by the Veterans Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1945. The same procedure would be used to acquire or build apartment houses to be sold to the highest bidder.
"Senator Crittenden stated in introducing his bill that he could 'see no other way out because private enterprise a,s yet is not in the position to get the necessary construc_ tion materials and fixtures for dwellings., Crittenden,s bill would also create an 'emergency home building fund of. 1947,' which would pay for expenditures under the act. The bill would give Governor Earl 'Warren the legislative authority to obtain all the materials for the program.,,
A meeting of the Association,s State Legislative Coinmittee was held in Sacramento on January ZS to plan a course of action in opposing this proposition.

Among its features are: controls all within easy reach of the operator; can be set uP for any standard sawing operation in less than one minute; construction employs both cast aluminum and welded Pressed steel; rides smoothlY on an endless chain of hardened steel balls; both indexing and locking are operated by the same control; all vital operating parts are permanently sealed against sawdust and dirt penetration.
It can be set up for any of these operations: bevel, bevel ripping, rabbeting, dado, rafter notch, angle dado, radius, fluting, shaping tongue and groove, and tennon'
The machine is manufactured by the Equipment Engineering Co., Division of The Nall Corporation, St' Charles, il1.
A new tool, trade named Bord-Pri, has just made its appearance on the market to be used in the reclamation of old lumber in razing jobs. Lumber removed with this new type tool is said to remain usable for other installations. It lifts floor-
ing, siding, roofing and other r'r'ood. Not only does it take off ordinary planking, but also lifts adjoining pieces of tongue-and-groove flooring and shiplapped siding' When
butted against the boards to be removed, the tool hugs adjacent studding and the extended lips support it for positive leverage when pressure is applied to the handle. It has an easy-grip, well balanced handle, tough head casting, strong lockscrew and freely pivoting, flat-surfaced face plates.
It is manufactured by the Maco Corporation of Huntington, Indiana.
The new NordbergBuday saw, built by the Nordberg Manufacturing Co., Milwaukee 7, Wis., was developed primarily to provide a simple fast cutting, time and money saving tool especially adapted to the needs of building contractors, carpenters, lumber yards, shipping and crating departments, industrial plants, in fact, wherever frequent changes in cutting angle is made.
The feature of this saw is the rotating table, the circular table top and saw mechanism rotating as a unit. With this design, various cuts are made by simply rotating the table. When changing the cutting angle from ripping to cross-cutting to mitering it is only necessary to rotate the table to the desired angle, drop the lock pin in place and make the cut. This can be done without shutting off the power. When making these various cuts, the lumber always remains lengthwise on the roller conveyor work tables, thus eliminating unnecessary handling of long lumber when making frequent changes in cuts. Two men can easily lift it off a truck or move it about the job as desired.
When equipped with a l2-inch blade the saw is said to cross-cut to a width of 16 inches or rip to a depth of 4 inches. The saw is supplied with two steel work tables 10 feet in length and fitted with ball bearing steel rollers.

Washington, D. C.-Among the growing field oI summer amusement attractions through America, the outdoor movie theatre is becoming increasingly popular' Spring building projects in many communities are including this type of amusement place, according to the engineering department of the Timber Engineering Company'
One of the recent timber built jobs, located in Chicago, has a tower 88 ft. high with wing walls 69 ft. The spacing of vertical trusses was determhed to meet the requirements of the architectural design and yet maintain economy for narrow towers of those heights. At the base of the tower and completely enclosing it are attractive built-in offices, rest rooms. and transformer vault. The Teco 'connector system of timber construction was used in the structural frames. Usual capacities for such theatres are generally from 60 to 800 cars. This theatre, with its larger screen and higher tower, can accommodate over 1,000 cars'
The framing was prefabricated at the job site by Morris Handler Co., general contractors; the architects were B' Leo Steif & Company, and the structural engineer was Henry Miller, all of Chicago.
