f'ortland, Oregon, January 2O-Douglas fir sarvmills of western Oregon and Washington failed in 19'18 to equal record postrvar production oI 1947, according to H' V. Sirnpson, executive vice preesident of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, as year-end figures l'ere released today.
The regir n's lttmber mills, rvhich normally cut about one thircl of the nation's softrvood lumber, tttrned out 8,580,731,000 board feet in 1948, Simpson said, 167 million feet short of tl-re previous year. Production fell off badly during the last quarter as hundreds of small marginal operators closed dorvn tight and manv larger mills rvent to shortened work u'eek in' the face of :r sharp drop off irr demand and choosy buying, Simpson said.
The lumber spokesman refused to forecast perfornrarrcc lor 1949. He did say the region has sufficient installc<l sawmill capacity to handle any foreseeable requirenlcnts of the home building and construction industries'
He emphasized that every effort of the industry rvottlcl be aimed at selling the nation's lumber users on the lorrgrange conservation-by-use program sponsored by \\'cst Coast mills. "There's a proper grade of lumber for eve-v use," Simpsor-r stated. "We have billions of feet of incxpensive, economy grades of lumber suitable for low-cost home construction, just as we have more billions of feet of the finest quality lumber in demand where strength, appearance and performance is essential. Like the {arnrcr
M. ADAMSn,ho must sell his number t\\'o potatoes, s() must lve sell our lorver grades of lumber to practice sotttlcl conservatiou and maximum utilization of our forests."
The u.eekly average of West Coast l-umber productiorr in December \\ras 135,419,000 board feet or 85.7/o of the 1942-1947 average. Orders averaged 130,626,000 board feet; Slripments 126,921,000 board feet. Weekly averagcs for November u,ere : Procluction 150,012,000 board feet (95.0/o crf the 1942-1947 average); Orders 112,059,000 board feet; Shipments 126,872,000 board feet.

The storm struck at 5 :45 in the afternoon of Monday, January 3rd. Fifteen minutes earlier the crew rvould have been in tl-re plant and the casualties r,vould have been terrific. As it rn.as the death toll in the town was close to 50, some of whom rvere lumber workers, and the number of injured was in the hundreds.
The tornado, traveling Southwest to Northeast, was 100 to 150 yards n'ide, and crushed everything in its path, and in addition there rvas much damage. fartl.rer away caused by flying debris. The storm crossed the Bradley plant diagonally, completely demolishing the machine shop, the scluare-edge strip flooring unit, the cut-up factory's glue room and warehouse, the lumber cooling sheds, the boiler room, the engine room, the Diesel plant, the fuel houses, the auto vehicle shop and garages, and severly damaged the cut-up factory, dry kilns, and sawmill proper. The office building, planing mill, and other buildings north of the plant were practically undamaged.
A terrific rain that immediately follorved the tornado savecl a lot more damage by putting out fires in many parts of the plant. The sawdust pile burned for many days after the storm.
The January 15th issue of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT told of the great damage done the sawmill plant of the Bradley Lumber Company, at Warren, Arkansas, by a tornado. Here are some further details :
A late report from Vice President R. W. Hanly brings gratifying ner,vs. With an electric power hook-up from the outside, Bradley is already operating their pre-finished hardwood flooring department, and shipments of that product are already being made. Other units of the plant will be placed in operation as quickly as possible, but in the meantime they are making and shipping hardwood flooring.
;O:".;"t
Every now and then I read some remark of General Bradley's, and find wisdom and novel thinking, like the one above. I am convinced that he is one of the WISEST men in public life in this nation. And this at a time when mediocre thinking is the almost universal rule in public Places'
,r: :r ;r
The thought he expressed in the sentence quoted above, is apparently in line with that which caused that great and wise American of earlier days, Ben Franklin, to rise to his feet one time and utter a brave and magnificent speech. Franklin was a man much of whose fame was built on his ability to think great thoughts in time of great need, backed by the courage to utter them.
In the middle of June, irt, *" Constitutional Convention had almost completely bogged down in the midst of its mighty deliberations. Confusion was general. So, rising to his feet on the morning of June 16th, Ben Franklin addressed himself to George Washington, and this is what he said: "Mr. President, the small progress we have made after four or five weeks close attention and continual reasoning with each other, is methinks, a melancholy proof of the imperfection of human understanding.
"In this situation of th: *r.ltbrr, trying as it were in the dark to find political truth and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto thought of humbly applying to the Father of Lights to illuminate our understanding? I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of the truth that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can arise without His aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that 'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it.'
"I firmly believe tti"; "ia i"rlo orrr."e that without His concurrent aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel; we shall be divided by our little, partial, local interests, our projects will be confounded and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a by-word, down to future ages. And what is worse' mankind may hereafter, from this unfortunate circumstance, despair of establishing government by human wisdom, and
leave it to chance, war, conquest. I beg leave to move: that hereafter prayers, imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business."
The motion carried. "." "r""*in had the same thought in mind in making that motion that General Bradley must have had when he said that we live in an age of nuclear giants, and ethical infants. We accomplish mighty deeds; scientifically and physically we pierce the heavens and bring back discoveries that fairly shake the earth. But ethically we make no progress. Throughout all of World War Two and the vital conferences that follorved, we approached our gigantic problems as thoroughly dependent upon our own mental skill and wisdom as did the Godless Russians. Maybe that's why they skinned the hell out of us at every step of the road. Believing in no greater power that they might turn to, ihe Russians looked for none other than their own brute strength. Mostly, we did the same. We needed Ben Franklin to remind us of the availability of Omnipotent Help; that Help we have so long proclaimed our belief in. But Ben was not here. And so far the Godless men seem to have all the best of it in their head-on competition against our so-called Christian nation. "Ethical infants," says General Bradley. It's food for thought'
Abraham Lincoln *""*.nlrolrghly saturated with the belief that when men depend solely upon their own human strength and wisdom in time of war, they court destruction. He said that during the horror and the travail of the long years of the Civil War, he went frequently to his knees "because there was nowhere else to go." His thinking was exactly in line with that of Franklin when he made the speech quoted above. To seek leadership in the realms of science is a vital and wholly praiseworthy ambition. But Franklin and Lincoln wanted us to remember the Power that made the nuclear power in the first place. Why not turn to the real Boss Man when the hauling gets heavy? That was what Franklin said to Washington. A couple of mighty good men to remember in times like we face today.
Now, having thus far discussed the need for more religion in politics-and in politicians-let's talk about business and politics for a bit. President Truman has spoken on the state of the union, and has likewise sent Congress his budget-the greatest by far in peacetime history. First, let us recall the fact that in 1916 our national debt was slightly more than one billion dollars. This year Mr. Truman estimates that it will cost about five and one-half

billions JUST TO SERVICE THE PRESENT NATIONAL DEBT of two hundred and fifty-six billion' That just shows the difference between the old days and the new.
Nobody who has *at"nla Lr]t."-"n could have been surprised at his recommendations to Congress. Mr. Truman is a man who does what he says he is going to do. So all the things he had promised during his campaign, he carried through with. It was a strong socialistic philosophy of government that he spoke for, saying it was the "kind of a society" the American people voted for on November second. He called it a "fair deal" program, and to finance it he itemized a budget that called for the spending of nearly forty-two billions of dollars in the coming year. The Houston (Texas) Post, veteran Democratic newspaper spoke editorially of the program in this fashion:
"campaign pledges ""J n:Jres are customarily more honoured in the breach than the observance, but from the tone and content of the President's message and the comments of the administration leaders, the Democratic platform of 1948 is regarded as a mandate which must be carried out at all costs. What these costs will be to the American way of life, and how far the country will be carried along the road of socialism, will depend on the ability of conservative elements in Congress to retard the socializing process. It will be noted that there was no reference in Mr. Truman's message to the dangers of an overextended bureaucracy, nor was there any emphasis on the necessity of reducing federal expenses through proper eco' nomies and the elimination of extravagance."
To finance rri" progr"rri r**t. irt*"" called for a boost in federal taxes to raise an additional four billions of dollars in the next year. This in spite of the fact that the President admits that present estimates of federal revenue exceed the official estimates of last August by the amount of $1,661,000,000, an astonishing increase. But this does not include another nearly two billion dollars which the President suggests getting from additional payroll taxes. He suggests increasing the social security tax on payrolls from one to one and one-half per cent starting July first. He likewise asked legislation along social security lines to cover twenty-five million workers not now under social securitY'
He called for health insurance (socialized medicine), continued rent controls for two years, legislation providing for civil rights, a broad program of public housing, repeal of the Taft-Hartley law, federal ownership of tidelands, stand-by powers and controls over business to be used in case of need, the power to put the federal government into the steel and other industries if necessary, continued farm help and other subsidies, and everything else called for in the Democratic platform. With regard to the Taft-Hartley law, he urged its repeal, but at the same time suggested improvements in the Wagner Act which would again prevail if the Taft-Hartley law were killed. At about the same time Mr. Truman called for the repeal of the controversial labor law, the Supreme Court came out with a
decision that state laws banning the closed shop, ARE constitutional. This gave industry and employers some' thing to smile at.
Personally, I spent a great many hours reading the words of President Truman, and also those of many other men commenting on his suggestions and demands. I tried to get a picture of what the President is aiming at, while apparently asking for everything that was called for in the socialistic platform on which he made his winning race. I just take it for granted without argument that he hopes to make a great success of his administration, and that such hopes must necessarily be based on maintaining a high economic structure for the next four years. It looks like he is calling for measures on every hand that are inflationary in their nature, and at the same time asking for powers to control inflation in case that, by reason of his program' it gets out of hand. I think he believes that we MUST continue on a high economic level, and that such level must be secured and maintained at any cost.
He knows as all others know that any sort of serious economic recession would bring destruction to his program, and usher in an era of threatening confusion. So things must stay high, costs, wages, profits, prices, and government assistance; all must remain at near-inflation levels, yet not permitted to go dangerously above those levels. He wants to continue to force prosperity on the farmers by handing them great sums of unearned money. In this most men, otherwise his critics, will p;obably join him, it having become sort of a fetish with this nation that we must keep the farmer fat for free in order that the rest of us may stay fairly so, by working. There is practically no suggestion of economy in his program' in any direction. Economy is to be as unpopular the next four years as it has been for the past sixteen. There is grave danger in any plan calling for a downward revision of the economic level, so we will hold her high, and pray for good luck' That's the program * * *
Mr. Truman knows that business was amost solidly opposed to his candidacy, and that knowledge made business tremble for a time. But when his close friends and associates began going around assuring business that Mr' Truman is NOT radical, NOT anti-business, and that businessmen have nothing to fear from him, they were probably telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. For only by a program that will keep business h"ppy, keep it prosperous' keep it creating more'and more jobs, and keep it making more and more investments and improvements, can this nation continue to prosper. Fright' en business, and the roof caves in. Mr. Truman and his friends know that full well. It must be a partnership between all the major elements concerned if we are to continue the high tide of prosperity we have been enjoying' I doubt if Mr. Truman, looking forward-as who would not?-to a bright page in history, is going to harass busi' ness in any way. Mr. Roosevelt did it; but things were very difierent then. Personally, I think business is in a good sPot.

A story.has been going great guns in England. It is from a book written by C. V. R. Thompson, and goes like this:
An agitator was addressing a crowd of workingmen'
"Comes the era of the common man," he said, "and you will enjoy the pleasures of the rich. You will walk down Park Lane wearing a top hat ."
"Excuse me," interrupted a member of the audience, "but Hi'd rather 'ave a cloth cap."
". or, if you prefer it, a cloth cap," went on the speaker. "You'll wear a cutaway coat and pinstripe trousers"'
Carl C. Crorv,.editor and publisher of Cron''s l'acific Coast Lumber Digest, Portland, will be the speaker of the day at the luncheon meeting of tl-re San Francisco Lumbermen's Club, to be held in the Comstock Room, Palace Hotel, San Francisco, at noon on Tuesdal', February 15.
"Excuse me," interposed the interrupter again, "But Hi'm more comfortable in corduroys."
"Very well, corduroys, if you insist," continued the annoyed orator. "And you'll ride to rvork in a Rolls-Royce"' ' "Excuse me," said the Cockney, "but Hi'd rather use me bike."
The agitator left the platform, grabbed the man by the sleeve and shook him roughlY.
"Listen, you," he said between his teeth. "Comes the era of the common man, and you'll do what you're blooming well ordered to do !"

San Diego, January l2-Another milestone in the progress of Whiting-Mead Co. since its establishment here in 1912 u,as announced today as H' L. Miner, president, disclosed the business is being transformed from a partnership into a corporation.
He emphasizecl that the company, one of San Diego's {oremost building material suppliers for more than three deca<les, will not change in ownership, management' pcrsonrrel, or policies.
The incorporation also I'vill enable further expansion and development in the field of materials frlr low-cost housing, Miner pointed out.
Among the company's major business features is its "Thrift Cottage" plan, under which all materials, including plumbers' and electricians' labor, can be purchased for $2.695 to erect a one-bedroom house.
Since this plan u'as introduced last May, scores of families of veterans and hon-veterans have availed themselves of the opportunity to build homes for moderate cost.
Articles of incorporatiou rvere filed rvith tite California Secretary of State Decembcr 31', 1948, and application has been made to the State C<lrporation Commission for pern-rission to issue stock to the partnership. Transfer ancl issuance of the stock shottld be completed by Februarv 1st, according to Present Plans.
E,r'entttally, it is hoped that selected employees of tl.re c()mpany ivill be able to acquire an interest in the business, 'rlhich t,as not possible under the partnership arrangement.
The concern rvill continue for the time being to clo business as \\:hiting-Mead Co. of San l)iego, Builders' N{arket. The corporation officers, besides Mr. Miner, are Glen N{.

Jim sold his lirst stick of lumber across the tailgate of a flat becl s'agon more than fortl' years ago. He likes to be the last man out of his yard at night and likes to take one last pron'l around before locking up.
I u'ent past the shelves of paint and past tl"re hardrvare displaY and out into the lumber shed. Jirrr l'as lcttirrg a nise gray e-ve roanr over the bins before su'itching off the light.
"E,r'ening, son."
"Jin.r," I saicl, "l've got a prollIeur."
He grinned a little. I'r'e lteen taking the tough ones to him for a long time. "l)on't clrag it out," he said. "I got me tn'o mallards last tveekerrd and rve're having them for sttpper."
"I u'on't." l r.rrtlrlc<l rlon'rr thc shed. "Jim, r'ou stockirrg arry No. 3 ?"
"Nope."

"Because lny ctlstomers like No. 1 So that' rvhat I stock. No. 1."
"Ancl 1'ott don't think they'd be interested," I asked, "if they kneu'thet'cottltl save theltlsell'es some t.ucluey bv using No. 3 ?"
"Ther* clon't like the look of it," Jim saicl'
"Nobody likes the look of seu'er 1>ipe," I said. "All they're interestccl in is n'hether it n'ill d<l its joll."
Jim cocked his evebror\-s at me. They're shaggy ancl gray, and he has a trick of leveling then-r as if they rvere six-shooters.
"N'[avlle l'nt not sttrc aurl nravlrc tuY cttsto'tttcrs arcll't sure that No. 3 rvill do its jolr."
"Irver rvatched an old house lleirtg tortr rlrlrvn?" I said.

"So rvhat?" Jim said.
"\Vell." I said, "n'lten that lumber r.vas bought, the price spread betu'een the ltest grade of lumber and the lorvest grade l'as onlv a feu' dollars. I-umber tvas lllentiful and cheap. The point is that lttn'rber isn't a cheap commoclity any more."
"Tell me something I clorr't knol," Jinr saitl. "I'trt getting hungrr. for those ducks."
"All right. \\rith lrrmber cheap and in surpltts, nobotll stopped to \vorry about the grade they used. The llest cost only a little more, so people bought it. Even ii the Iumber rl,as ten tinres as good as it neecled to be, the extra cost tlicln't matter much. But those days are gtltte."
"Just hon' do vott trteatt ?"
"The chances are rve u'on't ever again have the big surpluses that made lumber a cheap itenr."
"You mean u'e're running ottt of timber?"
"Not bv a darned sight. lJttt n'e're rut.ttlirrg closer to the llreak-even point on supply ancl denrand. And trou'adavs Iumber is being grarled a lot closer on tl.re llasis of practical usability. Instead of u'astir.rg ottr lttmber u'e're going to have to push proper use."
"That's a big order." Jim said.
"Not too big. And it's the onlv u'aY out if rve're going to gir,e people lou' cost housir.rg. It's comtnon sense ecol1omv."
"Just hou' do r-ott figrrre the ecotloml' ar-rgle ?" Jim u'auted to knou'.

"That's something," Jim said. "Any other places?"
"Sure. In all average ()ne-story construction No. 3 is more than adequate for yottr studs. Basic FHA reclttirements perrnit it in all bttt seven of the fift1'-three FIL\ districts.

i"I-h"."', atrother arrgle that's n'orth thinkirrg alrottt," I
said. "If there r,r'eren't any l91y grade lumber availableif the mills burned it, say, instead of putting it on the market-the u'hole load n'ould have to be carried by the higher grades, and lumber would cost iust that much more than it does now."
Jim sat for a r,r'hile and rhen threrv do,n.n on me again u'ith his eyel)ro\\,s.
"N'Ia1'be you can tell me something else," he said. .,\\/hy does lumber selling have to get all foulecl up like this ? Used to be a dealer handled nothing but fine lumber. He ne\.er saw anything else and nobody ever asked him to handle anything else. What's rvrong?"
"I don't knon' u-hether you could say something's \\rrong or not," I said. "Competition is a lot tougher today than it rrsed to be. \\'e have to get the best utilization .we can out of our product. Maybe the most you can say is that it's different."
"Then rvhat makes it different?"
"Tr,vo things. The need to cut down the cost of house btrilcling and the need for sensible forest conservatior.r.,'
"Just how does conservation come into it?"
"We're not u'asting the timber that rve used to. \Ve're getting more out of our forests. The {act that there rvas a market for the product has made it possible to harvest trees that were considered of doubtful value even ten vears ago."
"Horv does that help conservation?" Jim r,vanted to knovr,. "It's been estimated that in the Douglas fir region rve're bringing in trventy-five per cent more timber per acre than u'e did a decade ago. That means we're stretching our forests by tu'enty-five per cent. We're putting that much more of the timber crop into circulation."
"As I get it, then," Bill said, "this lorv grade is coming from trees you didn't used to harvest, but are harvesting now."
"A lot of it is."
"Just horv much of this lorv grade lumber have you got ?',
"Our over-all production in the Douglas fir region will be about eight and a half billion feet this year. Six and a half billion of that is high grade lumber. Maybe we should do our talking about that, but we're not. We're talking about our t.ivo billion feet of low grade because tl-re proper use of lorv grade is the biggest thing that is happening in the lumber business today."
Jim gave his eyebrow another tug. "I don't think I'm going to like it."
"N{aybe it's just a question of looking at it from a common sense point of view," I said. "In the past we've mostly judged lumber by its appearance. Sometimes the best looking piece of lumber rvon't be worth a pail of sawdust. We're starting to judge lumber, and grade it, on the basis of its utility value."
"That makes sense," Jim said, "but it won't be easy to switch a lot of people's thinking."
"We don't expect it to be easy. I've never had anything come easy yet that r,vas worth a damn."
Jim brought his fist down hard on the counter. ,,Blast

For the third consecutive year, in 1948 the sawmills of Arizona cut in excess of 250 million board feet of lumber, contributing more than eight million payroll dollars to the economic lifestream of the state.
In addition to this huge supply of lumber (enough to construct 25,W0 two-bedroom residences) the industry also produced valuable by-products, including box shook for packing the great fruit and vegetable crops of the Salt River valley and other areas. The sawmills rvere also large suppliers of commercial quantities of electric energy generated by porver plants lvhich utilize sawdust and other "trvaste" materials as fuel.
The 250 million board feet of lumber cut during the year probably represents the peak of the unprecedented postrvar demand, and is approximately double the cut in this state 10 years ago.
It is expected that the 1949 cut r,vill be somervhat less than 200 million feet. The leveling off in production rvill result from the closing up of some of the smaller mills which u'ere able to operate during the period of great demand, but which cannot operate economically u'hen the market returns to normal.
Closing of these smaller mills is expected to make available the more skilled sa'ivmill and rvoods rvorkers, thus increasing the efficiency of the larger, more stable sau'mill operations.
Although cutting in Arizona has been at an all-time high rate, even the peak years of 1947 and 1948 sa'lv more actual timber rate of grorvth than the cut amounted to.
Arizona's forests are scientifically harvested under the direction of the Forest and Indian services. The allorvable cut each year is calculated from the estimated growth of ner,v timber. Because of this fact, the forests in this state will never becon.re any smaller than they are at present, barring Coconino, the cut is approximately 60 million feet each year, 'n'hile the gro'rvth is estimated by scientists to be something more than 80 million feet a vear.
Probably the major development in Arizona's lumbering industry during the year rvas the constrnction of huge electric po\\rer generating plants at the major mills, plants

which utilize salvmill waste products such as sawdust and trim for fuel. This electric power is transmitted all over northern Arizona by utility companies, providing a new, hitherto untapped supply of electric power at a time when the demand for power is at an all-time high.
First Arizona sawmill to explore the possibilities of utilization of sarvdust and other "waste" products to manufacture electric power in commercial quantities was Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., that operates the big sawmills at McNary, Flagstaff and Overgaard, producing about half ol Ari.zona's lumber.
The Southrvest company, headed by James G. McNary, engaged engineers to design a big new power plant at Flagstaff, one which would provide much more than the company's own requirements of electricity. The generation of electric power from sar,vdust requires especially constru.cted Turnaces and other equipment, costing several hundred thousand dollars.
The new Southrvest power plant at Flagstaff tvas placed in operation early in the year, and its operation was a complete success from the start. The other big Flagstaff sawmill, operated by the Saginarv & Manistee, is norv nearing the end of a construction program rvhich rvill soon place another big generating plant in operation here. It also utilizes the "waste" products for fuel, waste which formerly was destroyed in huge burners as a nuisance.
F. A. (Pete) Toste, Division Manager, Georgia-Pacific Plywood & Lumber Co., Southern Pacific Division, Los Angeles, announces that W. H. Montgomery, rvho has been with E. L. Reitz Co., wholesale lumber dealers, Los Angeles, for the past 15 years, is now associated with Georgia Pacific as sales representative out of the Los Angeles office.
Mr. Montgomery has a large acquaintance among the lumber dealers in Southern California, and will call on the yards from Santa Barbara to San Diego.
The office of Georgia-Pacific Plyu'ood & Lumber Co. is at 2219 Fair Park Avenue, Los Angeles 41. Telephone number is Cleveland 6-2249.

Electric energy produced at the big porver plants is distributed through local utility systems.
Southwest now has under construction a r,r,aste-utilizing power plant at McNary, a plant so large that it will be able to produce electricity to supply the entire northeastern part of the state and a portion of western New Mexico as well. The Navopache Electric Co-Operative, fnc., is constructing a vast network of transmission lines to distribute the power all through the area.
The power plant at Flagstaff built by Southwest Mills produces enough excess electric power to supply all the requirements of a city of 15,000 population. The new plant now being buit at McNary is more than twice as large.

"That night rve saw lights gleaming at the foot of the mountains. and at dawn the scent of the island came out to us-a poignant perfume, soft and langurous, all-enveloping and heart-stirring. When morning came I saw exactly what Columbus had seen and faithfully described: tumbled, purple mountains; misty blue peaks stabbing up out of rich forests; velvety plantations draped opulently over green savannahs; lush valleys slashed as by giant axes through cliffs carved by Cyclopean chisels into battlements and castles.

-Kenneth Roberts.A brightJooking boy applied for a job at a local store, and when the manager asked his name, he said:
"Lincoln. Sir: Abraham Lincoln."
"Well," said the manager, smilingly, "that's a very wellknown name. isn't it?"
The boy said:
"Well, Sir, it sure ought to be. I've been delivering gi-oceries all over this town for mighty near two years."
Thus life by life, and love by love, We passed through the cycles strange, And breath by breath, and death by death, We follorved the chain of change; Till there came a time in the law of life When over the nursing sod, The shadows broke, and the soul awoke, In a strange' dim t':il::fl'"tSmi*r.
A bum who had held out a battered hat on the same street corner for years, stands in his accustomed place this day, begging, but now he has a sign that reads:

Said the bum:
"I'm having my hat blocked."
John Thomas Moore, of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, is the only living man who saw the first fight of the Wright Brothers plane on December 17th, 1903, on the Kitty Hawk hilltop. The other six men who were there, are dead. So, when they celebrated the anniversary of the fight in Washington recently, Mr. Moore was brought there as honored guest, and made a fuss over. He took it calmly. Asked if
he appreciated the fact that history was being made that day at Kitty Hawk when man first flew, he replied: "No. I just knew it was damn cold."
"Give me, God, a vibrant fame of a woman for a mate. Make her, I pray Thee, a woman of merriment. Fill her with a master love for the Strenuous. Enlarge her vision, so that it will see all things, and make her wise with that wisdom which shall see naught that demands her forgiveness. Make her, I pray Thee, a sweetheart of the Natural. I rvould have her frank and fearless and gentle, fit to play her hand in the game of life in the manner of a Master."

3/e" plywood lvhen equipment additions are completed early this year.
Major installations in the "green end" include an eighttray system for veneer handling, a new lathe for peeling core stock and another green veneer dryer. In the finishing department additional hot patch setters, defect cutters ancl plugger machines will keep pace with boosted production. A second hot press will help compress the increased flon' of veneer into the various plies of rvood "sand.iviches."
The tray system is being adapted to existing equipment by moving the present large peeling lathe into floor sltace gained by extending the main building width (r0 feet torvard the Columbia River. Trn'o. automatic clippers will section thc veneer flow from the trays into panel rvidths.
The new core lathe will peel core stock from four and five foot blocks, obtained by cutting 8 and 10 foot blocks in half. Cores will ,come from the big lathe after face stock veneer grades have been fully recovered. After these cores are peeled down to about a six inch diameter, they rvill be routed to the new kraft pulp mill for chipping, thus completing their utilization.
To expedite the flow of green veneer to the dryers. handling systems are being revamped. This rvill increase the recovery of otherrvise unusable material for pulp mill chipping. A Smith veneer retriever will also be installed. On the new green sorting belt mechanical offbearers u'ill segregate stock by grades. Both dryers will receive green veneer from a split feed intake, rvhich substitutes roller

In the finishing end an additional glue spreader n ill bring the total of these units to three. It is here that Siivacon, a series of products made by Weyerhaeuser from formerly waste Douglas fir bark, becomes an ingredient in the glue used to fashion plyrvood from veneer. The rarv bark is recovered lvhen the peeler blocks are debarked r,vith a pneumatic barker designed by the company's Development Department.
Personnel in charge of Weyerhaeuser's Longvierv plr-u'ood plant are llarry E. Morgan, general manager for the lumber division, and J. T. Rushton, plant superintendent. Principal ontput is Douglas fir plyrvood of exterior grade tyPe.
