ROGKPORT BEVET

,,SHEDS WATER LIKE A DUCK'S BACK"

In the past we've applied a water-repellent to our bevel siding, when ordered that way. Now oll Rockport Redwood bevel siding is factory-sealed with Woodtox, for maximum protection-and af no ertra cost. With this added value, lumber dealers can now offer their customers a truly superior product at competitive prices.

The advantages of water-repellent treatment are widely recognized, since moisture is the greatest single cause of problems with wood sidings.

EDITORIAL

Wrile, Wire or Phone!

E ARE, FoR A VARIETv of reasons, going to press about a week or so earlier this month. We wanted, in this editorial, to give you the name and number of the bill before Congress proposing establishment of a national redwood park, and to urge you, for reasons previously outlined by us and others, to write, wire or phone your Senator and Congressman-and anyone else who can influence Congress-to vote against this legislation. Unfortunately, at this writing, we don't have this information. We can only hope it comes to your attention before it is too late to register your protest.

If we believed in the wrongness of this proposal before the flood, we are now even more convinced of the rightness of our position after a trip to the disaster area and consultation with authorities and afiected persons.

For all practical purposes, Humboldt and Del Norte counties are broke. There is no money in the treasuries to rebuild schools, highways, roads, public facilities, or render effective aid to the stricken and homeless. Monies for this rehabilitation comes from taxes, along with such aid as the federal and state governments render on a low interest rate for disaster areas. But no available aid, public or private, is going to repay, even in part, the individual who has lost his home and belongings twice in ten years and, for an indefinite period, his job.

W'e cannot see the justification for taking large acreage ofi the tax rolls, at this or any other time, with the argument that reduced revenues will be made up by fees from tourists-visiting inaccessible areas.

The public, which benefits from and enjoys our country's only renewable natural rer.o:urce, must take heed and understand the facts of this situation;

we tnust spread the gospel; and we must act nott) to forestall this destructive, ruinous legislation.

We, like you, are all for conservation, green belts, keep America green and beautiful, wilderness areas, etc. We, like L. B. J. and his counselors, believe in and will actively support legislation towards this end.

But, by God, we are not going to support legislation that proposes to preserve something that is already rnore than adequately preserved at the expense of human jobs and a substantial economic loss to the country.

The federal government agencies involved know this as well as we do, but the land hungry bureaucrats, egged-on by misinformed conservationists, have misled the public with half-truths. Let's see that our lawmakers (should we call them legislators?) are appraised of the ,rze facts.

CLM will send a year's free subscription to anyone furnishing us a certified copy of his or her protest to Congress.

A Word of Thonks

\[/e would like to take a moment to say thanks to all the people who gave us such full and complete cooperation while we worked on bringing the flood story to you. How they found time to take out to help us while they had such great problems of their own will never cease to amaze us.

A particular note of gratitude is due the people most directly and immediately affected by the flood. Their resiliency, good humor and courage in the face of physical and financial adversity was a won' derful thing to see. And without their help we could never have been able to get the full story.

And to €myone who thinks they won't come back stronger than before, we can only say-you just don't know lumbermen!

billion dollar loss hits mill country

THE FLOOD DISASTER

I\TINE YEARS AGO, on December 22, f \ fSSS, a devastatine flood struck northern California and the Northwest spreading death and d,estruction of almost unbelievable magnitude in its wake.

Nine years later to the very day, on December 22, 1964, we all were witness to what may well become the strangest and cruelest phenomenon of nature in modern times, for it was on this tragic day just three days before Christmas that flood waters crashed down streams, creeks and rivers on a rampage that {ar surpassed the disaster of 1955. In the words of veteran newspaperman Don O'Kane, publisher oI the Humboldt Standard and the Humboldt Tim.es, "This is the worst disaster in the historv of northern Cali-

fornia and the Northwest, possibly even the entire United States." And right he may well be because on just the second day of the floods the disaster was termed "worse than the Alaska Quake oL 1964" by government civil defense officials.

Hundreds of families who survived the Christmas floods of 1955, w,ere once again forced to spend Christmas in the bleak surroundings of hastily formed disaster shelters, many of them separated from their loved ones, many of th,em without anything except the clothes on their backs.

With some areas still cut ofi by washouts and heavy snow, preliminary estimates of damage in California alone are exceeding 500 million dollars. Damage estimates to public and private property

in Oregon are soaring past the 300 million dollar mark, Washington and Idaho are also reporting heavy damage to private property and transportation facilities.

While damage to several mills was stag' gering, notably at the big Pacific Lumber Company complex at Scotia where company officials estimate damage may run as high as 7 million dollars, the big blow to northern California's lumber industry is transportatior. The Northwestern Pacific railroad linking Humboldt County pro' ducers to the national market suffered incredible damage to its line north of Willits.

Tunnel cave-inso track washouts and collapsed bridges will prevent any use of the Iine north of Willits for at least 6

This is actually the "Dolintow-n Heliport," and as any visitor to Scotia can guess, is taken from.in front of TPL's office, a portion of the museum to the left, the old hospital to the right. For awhile choppers were the only way to get into the flood area'

THIS GtllERAt SCENE in the Eel River bottomland is iust one of hundreds of low-lying areas covered with

debris, lumber, logs, dead cattle, parts of homes and automobiles. One source estimated the Eel bottomland

alone contained over 40 million board feet of logs and lurnber.

THE FTOOD DISASTER

(Continued lrom Page 6) months, maybe even 8 months or more, according to company officials. Hazardous flying weather prevented even a look at some of the trouble spots until r'ecently, according to Morrison & Knudsen engineers who have been awarded the hugc' job of rebuilding the line.

An ominous glimpse of the whole picture here is that nearly 75 percent of the production in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties r.eaches the market over this line.

ROAD WASHOUTS

Another stunning blow to the industry' was the complete washout of all roads and highways leading into the area. Although Eureka and Arcata escaped with only minor storm damage, the area is in essence an island. Highway I0l north was severed and then the big highway bridge crossing the Klamath literally dissolved in the raging flood waters. To the south, the highway comes to an abrupt halt at Alton where half of a big cantilever span dropped into the Eel River and a few miles south where flood waters undcrcut the Rio Dell approach to the Scotia bridge. The last remaining way out, highway 299 to Redding, is closed "indefinitely" with several smaller bridge rvashouts and massive highway destruction between Berry Summit and Willow Creek.

Although highway engineers refuse to hazard a guess as to when these routes can be opened, Iocal "guesstimates" range from two to four months before any o{ thc three routes can accommodate any appreciable flow of truck traffic.

In addition, a mammoth slide at Cummings, between Leggett and Laytonville, has all the appearances of being almost beyond repair.

W'ater and air will remain the only access to the area for the foreseeable future, water ofiering some relief to mills shipping green lumber to the Los Angeles market, but only a nightmare to dry lum. ber producers, many of whom have made that expensive experiment in the past.

Farther north in Oregon it's much the same story-unbelievable damage to highways and literally hundreds of miles of logging roads washed out or unusable. Although many mill operations were crippled by high water, here again the lack of access roads to timber stands is the prime problem. Pope & Talbot's mill at Kalama sufiered extensive water damage and across the river at Oregon City Publishers Paper Co. estimated damage is two million dollars. BCK Co., also at Oregon City, was badly flooded and lost most of its Iumber inventory and log deck. Other victims of hieh water included Crown Zellerbach at West Linn and Hanel Mill at Hood River.

Despite Incredible Damage and Losses

Palco's Comeback is Now in High Gear

HARDESI HII WAS The Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia where some 18.5 million board feet of logs and from 18-20 million board feet of rough green redwood lumber "went to sea" via the Eel River. TPL also suffered heavy loss of dry inventory in sheds (foreground below) and had 6 feet of water in factorv lthis side of burners) which means crews must

dismantle salvageable equipment, right down to the last bearing. Also lost was the company's meat packing plant, a laundry, the Scotia Ball Park and several homes. The river, in case you don't recognize this shot, shou!d be way over on the other side of that grove of trees in the upper left of this oicture.

JUST All |llEA of the havoc wrought by the Eel River at Scotia. This is scene of utter chaos created by 20' flood waters in Pacific Lumber Company's "B" shed where kiln dried worked material was neatly

stacked in units. This shecj measures 190'by 670' and will handle up to 7 million board feet. 0f Pacific's 6 dry storage sheds, all but one were affected to varying degrees by high water.

IHIS DRAMAIIC VIEII tells the whole story where the rampaging Eel undercut the Rio Dell side of the North Scotia Bridge, one of many washed out or damaged along Highway 101. High water eventually got that building that appears to be ready to slip into the Eel at any minute. Temporary repairs have since been made allowing light trucks into Scotia from Rio Dell.

A Speciql Repori

by Cal,ifornia Lumber Mercbant pablisher Al' Bell

T AST MONTH our intrepid editor. safelrL ensconced in an office olerlooking Pershing Square in Los Angeles, and facing nothing more lethal than southern California freeway traffic, promised, "Next month we will have a complete report for you in words and pictures of the flood disaster by a special two-man team of reporters that we are sending to cover the story." Here then, is the story.

One member was Max Cook who bought for the occasion, a pair of boots that Iooked as though he could use them around Lake Tahoe as well as the Eel River mud. His factual story and pictures start on page six. In this issue we also present an analysis of production estimates hy the RRCC on page 12. and an analysis of the situation in Oregon on page 12, by WWPA.

The other member was yours truly, the editorial "we." Herewith a personal chronicle:

I*.^ts'

JUST S0UTH 0F SC0IIA the new Richard Fleischer span carrying northbound traffic on 101 just plain disappeared. Apparently they just don't build 'em like they used to because bridge left intact upstream of the Fleischer sDan was built back in the 30's. This $ras one of the more troublesome spots on 10i where bridge washouts isolated Scotia both to the north and south, and Rio Dell again at Alton.

First. lve should give credit to Pacific Air Lines. They got us to Arcata, by special flight on Monday, January 4. It was instntments all the way, and back to San Francisco on Wednesday the 6th, the day after the 87 mile per hour gusts on Mt. Tamalpias. It was the second roughest trip we have ever had and we've flown over one million miles. PAL is an unsung hero of the disaster with 38 flishts in and out of Ar<'ata on Sunday the third. That day Arcata was the busiest airport in the nation.

We were met on arrival in the rain by IJob Bonixsen, genial Georgia-Pacific sales manager, who drove us to GeorpJia-Pacific's guest house J'The Hostelr)"' in Samoa, where u'e were joined by an old buddy, production manager "Bud" Peterson and his assistant. Doug Clayton for cocktails (several) and dinner (delicious). The early evening was spent in discussion of the flood and its implications and remitriscences (latcr)"*"" having lir,ed or visited off and on at the Hostelry since 192I, and having been first on the Hammond Lumber Co. Samoa payroll as earlt' as 1924.

Tuesdal, raining all day, was spent observing and asking questions. Bob showed us Georgia-Pacific's new sawmill, which we will tell you more about in some future issue when it is operating at full capacity, as well as their new pulp plant which is nearing completion, which (with the Crown Zellerbach-Simpson plant) is a story in itself and may be the means by which those unemployed by the flood will survive in Humboldt. That sound and un-

damaged compan)', Arcata Redwood, thanks to sales manager (and ex-San Franciscan) Lloyd Hecathorn, and its accommodating president, Howard A. (for Addison) Libby, lent us a company car for our investigation-.. The Red Cross and relief people had commandeered all available rental cars. To thesc nice pcople an extensile and eflusive "thanks."

Our first stop was Eureka Newspapers, Inc., publishers o{ the morning Hurnboldt Times and Euening Standard, where President Don O'Kane was courtesy itself in making available. through his photo department head, Neil Hulbert, photos that might be valuable to us. Our next stop was at Civil Defense headquarters and the sherifi's oflice, where between the two and the red tape we wrangled a special press pass and a permit to visit restricted areas. An untold flood story is the preparedness of the Civil Defense L)ffice for just such a disaster. Nlany lives were saved by this foresightedness.

The rest o{ the daylight hours wt-'re spent in observation and picture taking, mostly along the Eel as far as Rio Dell and the Van Duesen. Pictures tell it better than we can; believe us, it was a real disaster. The evening, ah, what happens to an evening in good company. Particularly Stan Preble of N'Iarine Lumber Sales, in and about the bar of the Eureka Inrr.

Needless to say we explored just about everything from the llood, thru the merits and demerits oI I1/z^ the benefits, pro and con, of CRA membership, shipping by barge. the economic consequenses to the area in one month. three months, six months, and bevond. and maybe somewhere we lapscd into a nostalgic discussion o[ the same airtl agr-old subject so dear to the hearts of aging males.

Wednesday morning dawnctl to more rain, compounded by a concert by Dr. Triphammer and his \'Iarching Band. \I'e finall1. pulled ourselves togethcr to talk to some of our local wholesalc friends, Jack Ivey of Pacifir' Fir Sales; Jim Berry of James Iledrvood Sales; Tom l-anin of Twin Harbors Lumber Co., all oI whom contributed much to our reportagc. Lunch, somewhat liquid. was hosted by the directors of Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Club f63, where President Bud Peterson and Rameses Dave Davis outlined plans for their Celebrity Night, first set {or January 26 and since postponed to March.

The Alibi in Arcata, to enrich Charlev Murrey's coffers land to see the old goat), was our last port of call before returning exhausted to the hearth and erindstone.

Humboldt Fir, the community's principal support, sustained severe damage, loss of inventory and log deck. Note debris on roofs of buildings in foreground which stands as testament to height of raging flood waters.

Flood Report from Redwood Region Conservofion Council

The redwood region, so heavily dependent upon forest products for its economic well-being is' facing staggering payroll losses as an aftermath of the flood.

In Del Norte and Humboldt Counties, according to the Redwood Region Conservation Council in Santa Rosa, more than 4,000 men are currently out of work, representing a weekly payroll loss of $529,000.

Although a number of mills were damaged or destroyed by high water, the real damage has resulted from the inability to ship forest products over flood-ruined highways and railroads.

A survey compiled by the North Coast Timber Association indicates that if shipping lanes are out for as long as four weeks, Humboldt and Del Norte Counties will have 6,642 mill employees out of work , representing a weekly payroll of $798,550.

Thetwo counties normally employ 13,500 in the forest industry, representing an anl- nual payroll of $89,400,000.

The Pacific Lumber Company in Humboldt County, an. organization which suffered multi-million dollar losses to its redwood mills, said that everlthing possible is being done to get the men and mills back

to work.

; The companies are using sea-going barges to the maximum and the Simpson

Timber Company has airlifted redwood plywood into a large San Francisco housing project which was threatened to be stalled by lack of materials.

R. F. Denbo, manager of the Eureka Chamber of Commerce, said that he believes this to be one of the greatest natural disasters to ever hit the United States.

"The prospect for our economy looks pretty grim for the next three months," Denbo said. "I hope people who want to put a national redwood park in here take a good look," the chamber manager continued, "because it would have about the same effect on the economy-mills shut down and thousands out of work."

Western Wobd Prcducts Assn. Reports Flood Recovery Plons

U. S. Forest Servioe timber sales, unde} existing legal requirements, must be competitive. This precludes any action at present that would make available to disaster area millmen special non-competitive tim. ber sales to replace temporarily inaccessible timber under forest service' contract. A new timber sales contract, tentatively scheduled to become efiective after July l, 1965, makes provision for such action in any future disaster.

U. S. Forest Service officials may, on application, ,extend present controls, make

TO OUR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FRIENDS:

emergency sales in areas in which timber is accessible, and waive non-performance penalties where flood damage is responsible, Thtiy also rrill use every device they can, under existing laws and regulations on compliance and performance require' ments for extending contracts without reappraisal where justified.

In addition, the Forest Service will ask the Bureau of the Budget for approximately $9 million of unused road authorizations which are available without additional legislative authority {or emergency repairs.

It has been learned from the Bureau o{ Land Management that emergency authority has been asked to extend contracts without reappraisal and for waiving requirements for final payment allocated road repair money to local districts and authorized ccintracts with local oPerators and will seek supplemental funds for this work. WWPA's foresters are working in co' operation with Oregon and California state foresters to quickly set up machinery to review needs for replacement or repair of the areas' operating and protective road systems. This vital network of roads is vitally needed in the continuing battle to reduce fire loss and forest pest infestation. Water stained or dirt and silt impregnated lumber, especially panel stock and

Due to recent flood damage to The Pacific Lumber Company's operations at Scotia, California and the damage to Railroad and Highway, \\'e are temporarily unable to take orders for lumber for shipment from Scotia.

The Plywood Plant at Pepperwood was not damaged and we hope that we will soon be able to assist you again in your Plywood requirements.

Our mill connections with Wendling-Nathan Company are, with few exceptions, producing and shipping as usual. We hope we can be of service here in your Douglas Fir and Pine requirements.

We wish to thank our many friends and customers \4rho have called expressing slrmpathy with the people at Scotia'and extending to us wishes of good will and continued business when we get going again. We cannot thank you enough for these kind expressions.

Redwood Inspection Service Grading Team

THE Redwood Inspection Service is an r agency set up to create and maintain grading standards for redwood lumber.

Operating out of its main office in Eurekq chief inspector Ralph Talvola and five supervisors of grading make spot checks of member companies to insure that they maintain redwood lumber standards within a five percent range.

In addition to this main function. the supervisors also work closely with mill graders to train them in the proper identification of the difterent grades of redwood lumber. This new practical training has replaced the old method of teaching grading in the classroom. In this capacity, Talvola has changed the title of his men from "inspectors" to t'grading supervisors" since they perform far more than a simple "inspection" service. Each spring, at the Redwood Region Junior Loggog Conference, the RIS supervisors conduct a seminar and grading contest lor high school forestry students.

The RIS is subscribed to by 40 redwood mills, a few of which manufacture only shakes and shingles. RIS supervisors make random, but regular checks of all of the member mills to see that grading is up to standard and, of course, they are available on-call fora particularly difficult grading problem. Woiking in tire Eureka area are Ralph Talvola, Erio J. Giuntini and Paul Jarvela. Cecil A. Smith lives and works in Cloverdale; Ronald C. Monsen in Fort Bragg; and Paul Pond in Rio Dell.

Harry Merlo of Rockport Redwood Company was recently re-elected to the presidency and is now serving his third term. Under his guidance, the organization participated actively in the national study of uniform grades and sizes, securing a preferential position for redwood based on its phenomenally low shrinkage.

Study committees,' including one composed of redwood users, are constantly reviewing the adaptability of redwood grades, sizes, and standard patterns. Their recommendations to the board help determine redwood's adaptability to current uses and new markets. The committee is just one of many of Merlo's innovations aimed at constant modernization of rules and methods for greater efficiency.

At the beginning of this past September, the RIS moved to its new Eureka office on 630 J Street. Architect William Van Fleet was retained to remodel it. The interior was panelled entirely in redwood with a wall of curly grain redwood in Talvola's office.

Currently, the officers of the RIS are: Harry A. Merlo, president; John L. Robins, vice president; and Philip T. Farnsworth, secretary-treasurer and manager. Other members of the board of directors are: Julian N. Cheatham, Russell H. Ells, James F. Franke, C. Russell Johnson, L. W. Ley, Howard A. Libbey, Stanwood A. Murphy, and Darrell H. Schroeder.

l- Oo the family with a limited building budgeto this desigrr ofiers the advantages of a much more expensive home. The cost and square footage of this house belies its spaciousness and livability.

Behind tle handsome ranch style exterior-which would be a compliment to any community-lies a "houseful" of con' venience. A used brick planter at the front of the bedroom wing plus the continuation of the roof along the sides of this wing and around the front until it reaches the bay window, is a real eye'catcher. The diamond pane window pattern has been repeated in the design of the garage door.

Sunlight passes through the glass panes in the front door and lights the center hall entry. From this entry, one can enter the family room-kitchen, living room or the short hall leading to all the bodrooms.

By properly locating the wardrobes in all bedrooms, there is an abundant amount of wardrobe space totaling 30 feet! There is also s guest and linen closet in the bed' room wing. A shoulder high sliding win' dow in the front bedroo'm provides cross ventilation and a bed or ot}er piece of furniture can still be placed beneath the window.

Ths rear living room with its adjoining patio 'is conducive to entertaining and out' door living. This is one of the highlights of this workable ranch plan-the generous use of glass where it counts the most.

The hub of this handsome dwelling is the open area that encompasses the family room-kitchen. The U-shaped kitchen is only partially separated from the family room with cabinets and an eating bar. This large open area meets the old fashion concept of the kitchen as a friendly gathering place with plenty of space to move around. ft has been adapted here to today's ideas of efficiency.

The laundry plus broom and pantry closets are in the service. There is direct access from the service to the garage. An efficient horizontal forced air furnace is located in the attic but could be placed in the garage if preferred.

ffil HEY FIXED A CODE for all the animals-so the story ffiJffi goes. And the first provision of the Code was protecWffi tion and safety.for all animals, large and small. No more killing and eating one another. No more law of tooth and fang. The lion could lie down with the lamb in safety; the fox with the rabbit. All the animals signed the Code.

A {ew days after tfr" lod" *"",tr" efiect.a rabbit, ambling through the woods, saw a fox in his path, and started to run: The {ox called to him, ooWhat are you running for? I can't hurt you. Have you forgotten the Animal's Code?" The rabbit stopped and looked sheepish. "I sometimes forget the Code, and start to run when I see someone like you," he said. And they sat down and talked over how fine it was to have a Code to protect them.

Just then from over ,* nrn *-" ,n" baying of a great pack of hounds. The air was filled with their cries. As they drew nearer the fox bounded to his feet, tail up, ready to run. "What are you scared o{?" asked the rabbit.'oHave you forgotten the Animal's Code? Those hounds are under the Code the same as we are. They can't hurt you."

BY JACK DIONNE

"Maybe you're right," said the fox, "'but in a pack as big as that one tfiere's always at least one So'and-So that you can't trust. I'm taking no chances,' * *

And away he went' * * * i&

Ruskin said: "No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a'good worker. That sort is born.

Here is a little New Year resolution, or pledge, we heard last month, that can be taken safely in large doses. "I pledge to be a better friend to all my*friends than I have ever been before."

Take your friendships seriously. Put them to work. Be a useful, helpful, understandiirg, loyal friend. But, above all, be an ACTIVE friend, and keep your friendships*well'oiled and polished.

John Ruskin wrote: "Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close, then let every one of those short.lives leave its own sure record of some kindly thing done for others, some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourself."

Fantastic New Wood Fireproofing Process

A new process for making wood fireproof is said to be so efiective that ncit even the heat of a furnace can overcome it.

If it works as well as its developers say, it could bring about great savings in property. More immediately, it could expand the market for a developing new product, commercially treated wood.

Its inventor, Dr. Menaehem Levin of the Israeli government's Fiber Research Institute, 'says it will work. He built fires under two identical model houses of beaverboard and stood back to watch. The model treated with his potassium bromine solution was unafiected; the untreated model collapsed and was burned to a crisp.

The American Wood Preservers Institute in Washington, D.C., took note and immediately began to ask questions, mostly technical. If other woods stood up as well as the treated beaverboard, then here was something with promise. If the process costs as little as Dr. Levin claims, then here was o'something that could be economically significant."

Dr. Levin says his process works on plywood, Masonite, beaverboard, cardboard, rope, even newspaper. He's tried

it. And he says it costs about $25 to treat one ton of timber products. Present methods cost about $40.

Levin, a 46-year-old scientist who in his younger days was a leader of the Stern Gang which terrorized British police, says his method is different because it alters tho chemical structure of wood. Technically, it introduces bromine into the lignine molecules which envelop cellulose fibers. The bromine-treated lignine prevents combustion, permanently, without changing the wood's appearance.

It prevents rotting, too.

"Methods of protecting wood from fire have changed little since the days of ancient Egypg" Levin said after his successful experiments. "Timber is still soaked in various saline solutions. But the salt absorbed adds 25 per cent to the weight of the timber. Since there is no chemical reaction with the wood, these salts are easily washed out by rain or diluted by dampness."

The potassium bromine methgd, he said, adds about four per cent to the weight of timber. And it produces a chemical change.

The Wood Preservers Institute has asked for more technical information and would

like to see results of experiments based on United States testing standards. If successful in the U.S., the Levin method could boost use of treated woods, which now comprise less than one per cent of the lumber market.

Wood could return as a competitor / against steel studding, metal ceiling materials. and in other structural uses where wood has lost ground to other materials.

Levin and his stafi have been working on the potassium bromine process for four years. Their research was stimulated by the fact that Israel possesses vast amounts of bromide in the Dead Sea. Their process has been registered for patents in the United States pnd other countries.

Areq Housing Picture Stoble

Another year as good as 1963 or l9M -coupled with a slight dip in the California housing picture-has been predicted.

In a forecast also pinpointing expanded activity in the San Francisco Bay area and a small downturn in Sacramento, the nationwide Los Angeles-based San{ord R. Goodkin Research Corporation states that: in the city of Los Angeles, the firm projects a'three per cent dip in housing; in the San Francisco-Oakland area, the housing starts will be up two per cent; in Sacramento, down one per cent.

Does a {.Jn:itedl lLumher Indlus'cry N/nean Any'ah,i^g to You?

OU KNOW THE present situation in our industry-a decreasing per capita consumption of lumber in the United States; a steady encroachment by substitutes; the 'oNew Competition"industry against industry--even more keen than the old struggle between individual firms. In short, a somewhat discouraged lumber industry with only a few concerns, perhaps more favorably situated, who are making a fair profit, and the others struggling to make both ends meet and in the meantime, like Micawber, waiting for something to turn up.

Part of our troubles are economic; the rest are due to human causes. Over-production and under-consumption share some of the blame, yet we have seen times and places when with plenty of business all chance for just profits was ruined by senseless competition. Stubborn selfishness beat down the claims of a wise policy of enlightened self-interest. Too often there is a deplorable lack of team-work within and between the different branches of our industry.

What are we lumbermen doing to help ourselves? What are you doing?

Some of us believe strongly in trade associations. We know their sreat value.

Thnugh this editorial ums written 37 years ago, its uord,s a.nd, sentiments are as m,eaninglul nday as the d,ay it was uritten. Authored, by C. D. LeMaster, it appeared in the Dec. 1927 issue ol THE AXIOM. It utould, do us uell today to effect his suggestions so that in another 37 years, in 2002, the ind,ustry is still not showing the same syrnptoms.-Ed,itor.

But too many of us think of ourselves as only individualists; that it is a case of the "survival of the fittesto' anyway; that we can fight as long as the next one, 6tc. Some of these men pride themselves on being "hard-boiled guys"; but they really don't dare follow out their own logic. It would mean wiping out every trade association, closing every hospital and schoolo a reversion to the jungle law of tooth and claw.

Now, let's get down to brass tacks!

There is only one organization that includes in its scope of activities the entire lumber industry. That is Hoo-Hoo, with its district, state and international officers; its clubs which play host to visiting lumbermen which sponsor the lumbermen's annual picnics and other events, which provide a forum for the discussion of lumber's problems and a meeting point of contact with leaders in other civic and commercial lines. Not only do these clubs help to keep us in touch with molders of public opinion, but they enable men in any one branch of our widespread industry to fraternize with those in all the other divisions of lumber. If you have a4ything better for promoting these worthy objectives than this Hoo-Hoo organization, what have you?

What wouldn't some of the other great basic industries of the country give for a spokesman like Hoo-Hoo, with its 10,000 members and thirty-five years of experience I its unique name, which has untold advertising value for lumber, and its black cat emblem that is recognized everywhere as belonging to lumbermen alone? Here is a-great machine, fully organized, tested by time, and ready for service to lumber. In its earlier years it was devoted largely

to. fun and fellowship; now in ite maturer wisdom it has added through its clubs a program of usefulness which opens up a vast field of prornise for the betterment of our sick and perplexed industry.

The man who boasts of being "practical" often overlooks the intangible values that lie all about him unused. Hoo-Hoo does not intend to displace the work of our trade associations, but it does provide a lubricant of cordial impulses which smooths the path of other lumber trade organizations. Of course, the technical, practical problerns of lumber must be settled on a sound, economic basis; but the approach through friendly understanding is of tremendous value. Therein lies the real function of Hoo-Hoo!

The men who are actively supporting Hoo-Hoo are getting a lot of pleasure and benefit from it. They will welcome new ideas and new helpers in their multiform endeavors for the interest of lumber. The leaders of the industry throughout the country are recognizing the great potential resource in Hoo-Hoo for the betterment of trade conditions. The fine work done by some clubs in protecting us from unfair building codes shows what can be done by united effort. And Hoo-Hoo's gains on the positive side are equally meritorous. This all-embracing lumber fraternity has not only taught the public that lumbermen are real friends of the forest, but it has demonstrated to the lumbermen themselves that friendship and cooperation are assets of vital value to the industry. If we sometimes fail in our great objectives, it is due to the human element involved and not to any lack of worthiness in our aims.

The WWPA balloting on the adoption of the optional sizes indicatt'd a strong preference to puhlish the n,.w sizes on dn optional liasis, the group contends.

On tht' qut'stion of puhli..hing o/s inch and I l,/2 inr:h optional sizt's, thc results were 68 perccnt in favor antl 32 l)crcent opposed on the hasis of 27I memlx'rs and non-membcrs voting. The poll was l8ll for and 813 against. The balloting also shoned almost identical results in {avor of provicling relatt'd grlr.n sr'zt's.

[)n the basis of millions of ]roard ft't't volume, as rt.prc-sented by the c:ompany participant-s in th('poll" the margin \vas (.\'en more {avorahle for tht' adoption of the optional sizes, 78 perct'nt to 22 percent. 'fhe lolume totals camt' out (1785 M\'IB[' Ior and ]924 [llNII]l' against.

Actually, as Mr. Richards explained. mills have alwals had the option o{ making lumher to these neu' sizes, and some mills have donc so. \I'VrPA action dt'monstrates that the largest lumlicr association in the world is rcc'oplnizing advanced engineering concepts in tht' usc of wood. Mt'mber mills can takc advantage of the new sizes as they sce fit.

Mr. Richards explained that Il2 inch dry lrrmbcr gir,es cqual pcr{ormanct: to lr/3 inch green because rvht'n lumber dries it gains in strength and stiffens. "Also wood has long been under-rated in enginecring and use," Mr. Ilichards continut'd. "lt has heen learned lrom tests that har-e heen condur,ted in industry" state and lederal laboratories that there is a big difiercnce in the properties of gret'n and dry lumbt'r."

UISC Soys NO!

The L,niform Lumher Standards Committee has announced its cont'lusions regarding the rejcction o{ thc inch and one-half lumber proposal. The proposed new standard was returned by the L..S. Department o{ Commt'rce to tht' Amcrican l-umber Standards Committee last summer.

'l'hc Boston-lrased group, untlt'r Samuel Newman. s('('retary, concluded that:

(l) There is no gra-rs roots demand. Only 1,500 responded in favor of this change.

(2) The small rt:tail lumber yards would lrc hurt. Double inventory of items would demand added capital.

(l-i) Would discriminate against man) producers and limit sour('('s of supply.

(4) Would {avor a ferv large mills. prepart:d financially to make the investmt'nt in changing over thcir equipmcnt.

(51 lt would take years to again stahilizc local building codes.

(6) llespon-.iblt' lumbermen do not netxl another "sub-standard" size.

In other comment on the proposal, surrounded by t:ontroversy Irom its inception, he said, "Tht' abilitl' of an industry', as widespread as the lumber industry, to ioin forccs against a mo\-('ment oI this type is encouraging. Etcrnal vigilanr:e is the prit:e \!e pay for a democratic society. Let us direct this vigilance toward the many improvements which can be made in lumber products within present acceptable standards."

Los Angeles Hifs Plywood Fqilures

The city of Los Angeles has moved to put a halt to a high incidence of structural plywood failures which has caused serious problems in local construction during recent months.

According to R. L. Hohman of the city's Department of Building and Safety materials control division, 'oa substantial amount" of plywood used for sub-flooring and roofing entering the city is below grade and has delaminated' causing structural failures and many other problems.

Root of the trouble, city officials assert, is inadequate inspection at the mill level to insure that glueJines and veneer meet approved industry standards. Cure for the problem may come in tightening of regulations for plywood grading agencieso they feel.

At present, the city contends, the three industry grading agencies inspect the finished product only on occasion, possibly once a week. In the majority of instances, the test of glue line quality is not completed prior to shipment from the mills. In too many instances plywood is sold and installed and subsequently found to have failed the glue test. No attempt is made by the mills to retrieve plywood known to be below acceptable standards.

Hohman asserts that the solution to this problem, in addition to holding the plywood at the mill until the glue tests are completed, is to institute full-time inspection of the material to insure the quality of the inner veneers.

At a meeting, the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners expressed intent to establish more restrictive requirements for the licensing of agencies to grade structural plywood and further to require the licensing of the individual mills as approved manufacturers.

At this meeting representatives of the plywood industry countered the city's charges by affirming its desire to police itself. As evidence of good faith, the American Plywood Association submitted a list of new regulatory items, that will, the APA feels, assist in eliminating the amount of failures due to gluqline inspections through insistence upon strict adherence to the standards imposed by the industry itself. These regulations went into efiect January I.

A N INITIAL SURVEY of LMA dealer members shows no n physical flood damage, but it is anticipated that.some dealers will suffer economic problems in given areas. Two associate mem' bers, Pacific Lumber Company and Reid & Wrieht sufiered extensive loss€s. In the .ur" oi Pacific, 4O million feet of logs and 40 million feet of stacked lumber were lost. The firm had B feet of water in its finish' ing building and all equipment was soaked, reports Harry Hood, California sales mairager.

Plans for the Silver. Anniversary convention of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California are shaping up rapidly and from all indications this can be billed in advance as o'one of the biggest and best LMA Conventions ever

These remarki by George Weye:rhaeu,ser, executiue uice-presid.ent, are cond.ensed from a recent interuiew where he defined the position of Weyerhaeuser Company on this important improvernent in lumber.

George Weyerhaeuser gives some frank answers to questions about new lyz" Engineered L'umber

the market to continue manufacturing it. We're convinced it's the right step toward better building-logically, technically and economically. fn time, we feel the new kiln-dried 1r/2" dimension will become the standard for the industry.

What has been the market reaction to Engineered Lumber?

be an appropriate place for green lumber. But we also know there is a growing need for technologically improved dry lumber.

Are smaller retail yards going to have inventory investment and control problems?

Why is your company manufacturing Engineered Lumber?

One very simple reaSon: it's a better lumber product. And as a better lumber product, it carries its benefits right through the entire marketing chain to and including the consumer. Dealers will save millions of dollars on freight every year because this scientifically kiln-dried lumber is a lighter material. Builders get better performance from it because it has greater stability and more uniform performance than any previous standard kiln-dried framing lumber. Home owners get better framing i4 their homes at less cost.

But didn't the Department of Gommerce reiect the lVz,, standard?

I think a more precise term would be "declined to act." About GO% of those who cast ballots were in favor of the new standard. In spite of this, the Department of Commerce retumed the proposed standard to the American Lumber Standards Committee because of what it called ,,Lack of general c'oncurrence" in our industry. Weyerhaeuser Companjr is enough enoouraged by the size of the favorable vote and the enthusiastic acceptance of Engineered Lumber in

Very good. We've already sold more than 250 million board feet of our new Engineered 4-Square KilnDried framing. It has been widely sold by lumber dealers throughout the country.

ls Engineered Lumber meeting tocal building code requirements?

Wherever it has been evaluated on a purely engineering basis. it has proved completely acceptable. Scientific new kiln drying with 15% average and L97" maximum moisture content produoes a 1rf " dimension as strong or stronger than lumber manufactured to present green standards. Span tables for, Engineered Lumber are in accordance with the recommendatioru of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and the Western Wood Products Association.

ls Weyerhaeuser Company going out of the green lumber business?

Not at all. We manufactured more than 475 million feet of green lumber in 19&1, of which 235 million was dimension stock. This made us the largest single producer in the country. We've just invested $6 million to remodel our oc€an freighters to continue hauling our cargo lumber to the east coast from the Pacific Northwest. We know there will continue to

Perhaps in the transition period. Ffowever, those dealers who have been promoting Engineered Lurnber, along with their regular lines, have solved this problem. Keeping an inventory of Engineered Lumber is no different than keeping inventories of green, old standard kiln-dried, or many other product lines. In fact, there are advantages with Engineered Lumber because it requires ETo lesis space for storage and-with its lighter weight-it's easier to handle.

What is your opinion about the future of this new material?

I am convinc€d that lumber manufactured to the new standard is here to stay because it contributes to better building. And the consumer, the builder, the dealer and the manufac, turer all will benefit. Among those who have recognized this ooncept are the Western Wood?roducts Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Support of the revisgd standard has been given by the National Associatiott of Ho*L Builders, the American Institute of Architects, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and the U. S. Savings & Loan kague, to name just a few.

Foclusl Booklet Explodes the "Lsst Redwood" Myth

California's famous redwoods are des,tined to remain a permanent part of the ' American scene, iiccording to a new booklet, 'oOur Growing Redwoods," published by American Forest Products Industries in cooperation with the California Redwood Association.

The 16-page well-documented publication explodes the myth of the oolast redwoods" and gives assurance that giant old trees of the Redwood Region are preserved for future generations while younger-growth coast redwoods under permanent tree farm managenr€nt will continue to serve the needs of the region's major industry.

The booklet points up the little-recognized fact that young redwood is virtually unmatched in its capacity for tremendously fast growth. New young-growth trees often equal the height of thousand-year-old giants in less than a man's lifetime before tapering ofi their growth. Young-growth redwoods on lands once harvested in the region's producirg forests are beginning to hit their best growth strides, according to gov€rnment studies assembled in the redwood booklet.

The publication discloses that rate of redwood forest growth has increased 56 percent since the government timber in-

ventory of. 1952 and that the amount of young-growth sawtimber volume has more than doubled since the l9zl8 inventory. Projections indicate that this supply of young-growth volume is expected to double again by the year 2000.

Today's young-growth redwood volume -totaling 14,137,000,0@ board feet of timber-accounts for nearly half the 30,981,000,000 board foot total of existing redwoods, and studies indicate that this growing resource can sustain the present rate of timber yield perpetually.

The booklet says there are 107,458 acres of coast redwood parks and groves in 28 state parks and one national monument dedicated to perpetual preservation. Federal, state and local government agencies own an additional 136,000 acres of coast redwood forest land. More than a third of the existing volume of California's oldgrowth coast redwoods is situated within these government holdings

AF7ER ALL, YOUR CUSTOMERS WOULD RATHER USE WOOD

This total acreage of government-owned coast redwood forest is larger than the combined area of the five boroughs of New York City. Arranged in a strip, governmentowned coast redwood forests would make a solid strip a mile wide stretching more than 355 miles, almost the distance from New York to Pittsburgh or from Los Angeles to Phoenix.

Approximately 643,000 acres of privately owned forest land in the Redwood Region are enrolled in the forest industry's Tree Farm program, dedicated to growing timber crops on a perpetual basis.

Blqck Stomp for Plywood

Black grade-trademarks now identify construction grades of plywood manufactured under new quality control rules that went into efiect January I by the American Plywood Association.

Red and green inks are used now for the marks that designate plywood types and grades and indicate conformance to specific Commercial Standards. These inks will continue to be used for appearanc€ or sanded grades of plywood.

The announcement was made by John M. Hess, director of the association's DFPA which performs quality control services for producers of about 85 percent of the softwood plywood manufac' tured in th,e United States.

Construction grades include a new structural panel; sheathing manufactured with both waterproof and water-resistant adhesives; an improved-surface sheathing panel marketed as C-D plugged; a special underlayment grade, and, 2.4.1, a l/s-inch thick plywood developed for applications as combination subfloor and underlayment.

Introduction of the black stamps also will eliminate a source ol past con{usion among sheathing grades, Hess said.

The Brqve Bull

Spain never had one like this.

A Black Angus bull, resident of the Klamath River Basin, climbed aboard a log at the height of the recent flood, rode it out to sea and bravely surfed his way forty miles north to Crescent City harbor, where he was found alive but exhausted (and presumedly sidesaddle) on his log.

Unfortunately his condition required he be put away. As one of our friends (female) said, "He should have lived to spend his life servicins a million cows,"

Housewife Key To Home lmprovement

THE IMPORTANCE of selling the wife

on home improvements and her influ-

in initiating home improvement

plojects were brought out in a survey now

,available from McCalXs magazine through

the National Home Improvement Council.

The booklet tabulates a questionnaire

survey by McCalXs of some 600 registrants (builders, dealers, remodelers, etc.) at an

NAHB remodeling workshop. The summary of the survey findings is interesting to those in home improvement in that it

shows where and why this group of remodelers aimed its sales efforts for maximum return.

SU,I,IMARY OF FINDINGS

One out of every three respondents is a general contractor. One out of four is a builder and IO.3/o are builders and eontractors.

Although all of the respondents are in the home improvement businesg slightly less than one out of every three has a sales

HARDWOODS SO FTWO O DS

force that specializes in selling home improvement.

TITYIE INVOTVED

Six out of l0 respondents closed the sale within two weeks after the initial contraot with a prospect. Half closed the sale within 12 days of the initial contract.

WHO DECIDES

Almost six out of every l0 concentrate most of their sales effort on the wife while one out of every five concentrates on the husband.

The major reasons given for concentrating the sales efiort on the wife are that she make the decisions (16.5%), she has to live in the house (.I42%), she sells project to husband (ll.O%) and that she is more aware of needed improvements (10.2%).

The one reason for concentrating the sales effort on the husband is that he pays the bills (46.5%).

wtFE's RotE

Almost all felt that the wife is more influential in initiating the modernizing o{ the kitchen. Approximately t7 out of 20 felt that the wife is more influential in redecorating and in modernizing the bathroom. The wife is also more influential than the husband in initiatine the addition o[ a new room.

BIGGEST TICKET

In ranking home improvement projects in terms of the sales revenue they produce, respondents selected adding a room, modernizing the kitchen and installing a recreation room.

Next were: building a garage or carport, converting the attic, applying exterior siding, adding a bathroom, modernizing the bathroom, and painting the exterior.

APA Elects New President

C. L. Morey. manager of marketing for the St. Regis Paper Company's {orest products division, has been elected new president of the American Plywood A,ssociation.

Nlorey, who has served as vice president of the association since June of 1963. succeeds Jackson Beaman. rvhose business interests have taken him out of the country. Beaman's term was -.cheduled to expire in June.

'fhe trustees of the association, elected by the membership from fir.e manufacturing distri<:ts, unanimously elected Morey, a Ta(ioma executive with a lrroad background in forest industries management.

Morey started his career in the forest produc'ts industry with Union l-umber Co. of Fort Bragg, Cali{., moved later to CrownZellerbach Corp. through one of its subsidiaries, and came to Tacoma in 1960 as resident manager of the St. I'aul and Tacoma Lumber Co. division of St. Regis.

When three St. Regis divisions were combined into the forest products division in l96i3, Morey was appointed to his present position, where he is responsible for marketing functions that include advertising, sales and sales promotion. product develop' ment and distribution.

Morey's management responsibilities have involved timber acqui-sition, land management and timber utilization. He took part in the development of Cali{ornia's first chipping and debarking plants, now recognized as one of the key elements in complete utilization of {orest products. and directed a number of economic studies of timber uses.

His experience in timber management includes virtually all of the 25-odd species from which plywood is manufactured by association members.

Nlorey directed both production and sales at the St. Paul and Tacoma operation during his three years as resident manager.

Sculplure Exhibit Opens New U.S. Plywood Showroom

An exhibition of contemporary wood sculpture by leading American artists marked the opening of the new United States Plywood Corporation showroom at 777 Thiud Avenue, New York.

First exhibit spotlighted wood sculpture by such leading American artists as Leon' ard Baskin, Louise Nevelson, Jose de Creeft, Andy Warhol and Gabriel Kohn. 'oArt in wood today" is the theme of the collection, assembled by Dr. Richard Mclanathan, a former curator of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and a noted lecturer and writer.

"I think it altogether fitting that such an exhibition should mark our opening," said S. W.. Antovilleo chairman of the board of U.S. Plywood. 'oWood is the material on which our company was founded'

Cedqr Associqfion Joins WWPA

Western Red Cedar Lumber Association, a Seattle-based trade organization representing major U. S. and Canadian cedar lumber manufacturers, affiliated January I with the Western Wood Products Association and has moved its offices to Portland, announces G. Noel Harrison, oedar association president.

Western Wood Products Association was organized earlier this year with the consolidation in August, 1964 of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the Western Pine Association and represents a major segment of the lumber manufacturers operat' ine in the 12 western states.

VRCLA" board of trustees entered into a contractual agreement whereby the Portland-based WWPA will provide managem.ent services for the cedar asso.ciation. WRCLA will continue as an independent association although its field stafi will be inte' grated into WWPA as cedar specialists, with the WRCLA's board of trustees continuing to determine tho association's du'es structure and other managemenl policies.

Lumber Production Record High

Western United States lum,ber production Ior 1964 reached an all-time high of 19.4 billion board feet with a sales value of nearly $1.5 billion, reports W'endell B. Barnes of the Western V'ood Products Association.

2719 So. Compton Ave., los Angeles, Galif- 90011

Inland manufacturers in the l2-state region also set an all-time record with a cut of 10.5 billion board feet while coastal region manufacturers recorded the hiehest for the Douqlas fir area since peak production of 9.6 billion f,oard {eet in 195i.

The 1964 Western region cut represents 65/o of the nation's softwood production of an estimated 29.5 billion board feet, says Barnes.

Wilhold ond the Spoce Rqce

C. Willcox Comegys, president of Wilhold Glues, Inc., is as product-proud as are most company executives in this free-enterprise system. Last year he directed his engineers to the development of a new adhesive, Glu-On, whieh he is certain will sweep the market in the field of paneling fixative.

Of course he was pleased, but like many an executive he had a secret ambition to see his industry and his product participating more directly in more exotic fieldslike say, the race to the moon . You know, glamour!

Comegys kept iookinf for the entree into missile business and finally it came. He and 34 other makers were asked to submit bids for an adhesive which would hold the leading edge of a para-glider's wings together as it drifted back through the atmosphere on its return flight {rom the moon. Attached would be the space capsule containing the astronauts.

It was a vital assignment to develop, and Wilhold won. Satisfying to Comegys? Indeed! Never mind that l[ilhold is one of the world's largest manufacturers of a complete line of adhesives, they are now proudest of their moon-shot contract for one quart of glue-priced at $2.75.

Volume Up Soy Deqlers

In a recent survey of one thousand retail lumber yards by the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers' Association fifty-five percent said that volume of business was up; 26y2 percent said that business was downl and IB percent said that it remained the same.

Thirty-seven percent of the yards said their net profits were higher than a year ago, 32 percent said that they were lower, and 32 percent said that they remained the same.

THE FLOOD DISASTER

(Continued, lrom Page 8)

Back in California, several mills sus. tained major damage, many o{ them vet. erans of the 1955 flood.

Besides the Pacific Lumber Company disaster at Scotia, \'[orrison Jackson suffer'ed severe damage from the wrath of the Eel River, but fortunately their log deck hung up not far downstream from the mill. Over in the Hoopa area, Humboldt Fir was badly flooded, losing most of its inventory and log deck, as did Big 4 Lumber Co.

OTHER DAMAGE

At the mouth of the Eel, Eel Rivcr Salvmills was prat:tically leveled by the record flood waters hearing houses, cars. dead cattle and most oI Pacific Lumber's loe deck rr'hich rame thunderins down thrrirer like a thousand battering rams leveling everything in sight inr:luding half of the new Ed River span.

At Fortuna, Reid & Wright sufiered a heavy loss of in\rentory on sticks at Crown Redwood, and Fortuna Wood Products re. ceived a staggering blorv {rom flood waters.

It was much the same storv at Dinsmort' whr.re Crawford Lumht.r losi logs. lumber and sustained considerable damaee to its grctrr chain. dry kilns and planei. Less"r damage was reported by Sound Stud Co., also at Dinsmore.

Farther inland at Hoppy Camp, Siskiyou Mills reported flooding and loss oI lumber and logs.

Add to this numerous cases of lt:sser flooding, considcrable timber blow down. uncountable miles of logging road washouts and you've got a general idea of things to come.

Higher prir:es. of course, are already a {act. In redwood the situation is perhaps the bleakest. Although Mcndocino Countv producers ,",,r" r"laiiv"ly unaffected, rail and highway connections still intact, the bulk of the production rcmains isolated to the north. To further complicate the situation, several Mendocino producers arc dept'n<lcnt t,n Humboldt Coirnty- for their log supply.

The fir and pine supply looks better, rvith all major inland highways open and the rail service back in operation. Logging, especially in Oregon, is the problem here and it's just about impossiblc to tell at this point how bad tht: logging shows were damaged-or just how much mort' rain we can expcct. A good gue-ss might be 60 percent of the retlwood production and 20 percent of the fir production ofi the market at the prest'nt time.

Dwindling log decks and lack of access to timber stands should result in a pretty interesting market come Spring.

At O'Malley's Mighty Mite in Aio, Arizona Everything is A-OK

You may never have heard of Ajo, Arizona, but if vou are in the copper mining busincss 1'ou krrow. It's also wht'rt' the nervest storc and yard in O'Malley's big Arizona chain is located.

Formerly O'Malley-Cole Lumber Company, the new yard at 1530 North S:ashington St. has been renamed O'Malley's Building X'Iaterials. The yard is enclosed by chain link lence and the lumber is protected from desert sun by 20'x125'lumber shcd.

O'Malley's purchased the .vard from Halstead in 1940 and Oscar continue.d to manage the yard rrntil he retired in 19:[2.

Oufput of New Dry Lumber

Enough for 25,OOO Houses

\I-t'\'erhaeuser (ionrpany has sold enough of its trcw engineercd dry framing lumber to build 25,000 houses and now is producing thc material at eight of its ten wcstern mills.

This is the word from George Steyerhaeuser, cxccutive vict:-president of the wood produr,,ts firm. Output to date sinct' the company started manu{acturing the new extra-drr lumber in August, 1963' totals ovt'r 250 million board ftret. The average size house uses about 10,000 feet of framing lumbcr for floor, walls and roof.

The new product is kiln-dried to more rigid standards than previously and manu{actured slightll' thinner since lumber gains strength and stiffnt'ss as it dries. "Scicntific factorv-drving produces lllrtt thi<:k dimcnsion as strong or -qtronger than lumlit'r ( Ii)/s" thick ) manufactured to prescnt grt:en standards," !(rt,yerhaeuser explained.

Thc company manufacturers both drr' and grcen lumber, actrrally produces morc grcen material than any other one company, and rvill continue to manufactun' both. Howe'r'er, many northwest lumber mills make only gretn lumber and have oppost'd adoption oI a new standard by tht: U. S. L)t:partment of Commt'rce.

Weyerhacuscr relea,.r'd the produciion fisurc for tht: new dry lumlrcr in a di-"cussion of the companl's position relative to the neu, size and nt'w quality standard for thc drv lramine.

WWPA lssues Groding Book

Western Wood Products Association has issued its first grading rules book since the l3-state group was formed through consolidation of the Western Pine and West Coast Lumbermen's Associations.

Latest revisions contained in the 279-page, pocket-size volume became efiective January 1, stated Vice President W. E. Grifiee. It includes all supplements to grading rules of the former Western Pine Association.

Bound in a gold cover and bearing the WWP branding iron insignia, the "1965 Standard Grading Rules" conforms to American Lumber Standards, and has gone into use throughout the West, Griffee pointed out.

One major addition is an optional standard detailing stress ratings {or lumber up to two inches thick, dried to a moisture content of not more thanl1/o (stamped "MC I5") and not more than I9/o (stamped'.DRY").

The optional standards may be used within the framework of sales agreements between lumber buyers and sellers. The'.DRY" rating is entirely new, and the "MC 15" rating was authorized only in the previous Western Pine rules.

Because of pleas from buyers and builders, the new reinspection rules extend the deadline {or complaints on wrapped lumber from the usual ten days after unloading to 90 days. This will allow dealers and builders to leave wrappings on during temporary storage, without losing the right to reinspections.

However, reinspections delayed on this basis will be limited to characteristics not altered by time, such as knots, skips, manufacture and pitch.

The new WWPA rules book also:

In some instances damaged yard or inventory lumber may be trimmed to remove stain, check or damaged and torn grain. WWPA's grading department will extend ev€ry as' sistance to members in evaluating grade damage and if special service is needed contaci Jim Pynes or E. O. Thompson in the Portland office.

All persons in Oregon are cautioned that logs' carrying registered brands are tlle property of the brand own6r regardless of

where they may have been deposited. They remain the property of the registered brand owner for a period of one year and thereafter are considered abandoned property.

Defacement, or removal of a registered log brand, is punishable by a fine, or imprisonrnent, or both.

Log salvagers are warned that Oregon has a Log Patrol act, which'prohibits individuals and companies from salvaging logs other than their own from waters and the immediate shore area of the Columbia River and its tributaries unless they are licensed as a Log Patrol under this act.

If in doubt about log recovery in Oregon, you are urged to contact the State

Forestry Department.

The California laws are similar to those in Oregon.

Mill owners who sufiered losses to their property as a result of the recent flooding may deduct the flood damage as a casualty loss on their 1964 Federal income tax returns, it is reported by Internal Revenue Service officials. The amount of loss that may be deducted is the decrease in tlre fair market value of tlle property as a result of the flooding, but limited to the adjusted basis of the property before the casualty.

the Ioss exceeds $100, it is r.eported. Losses to property used for business purposes are deductible without regard to the $100 limitation. The loss in fair market value can best be determined by an appraisal of the property by a qualified appraiser. Generally any appraiser would be acceptable who would be recognized as an expert witness in a court of law.

Tax officials stress that immediate steps should be taken by property owners to document the extent of damaee from the flood by photographs, appraisals. repair estimates or other permanent documentary evidence of the loss. If property owners have insuranee. the easualty loss must be

reduced by the amount for which the insurance company is liable. Any person needine tax assistance or additional information should write, telephone or call at any Internal Revenue office.

Loaded lumber cars are being moved out of the Coos Bay area by the Southerrr Pacific Railroad. The railroad reports its Tilamook branch has reopened and that service is now available to all mills served by its line. The hard-hit Northwestern Pacific Railroad serving the areas north of San Francisco to the Humboldt Bay area still will not be in operation for possibly six months but mills in the area are planning to truck out production as soon as

roads are reopened. Northern Pacific Railroad reports operations at all points and Union Pacific has all main lines and most branch lines in operation.

Oregon, Washington, Cali{ornia and Idaho have been declared "disaster areas" by The Small Business Administration whose offices rvill provide application forms advice and assistance in filling out applications. l,ocal banks also are well informed on the SBA loan program and some banks will process SBA disaster loan applications. Approval will requir'e from seven to ten days. SBA presently lacks disaster loan funds but Congress likely will have provided these funds early in January.

Folder on Wqll Ponel Jig fimber Engineering Company is offering free a four page folder describing the "Teco IJniJig" for wall fanel assembly. The "Uni-Jig" can be used with practically any modular system utilizing 16" and 24" spacing.

Consisting of a series of stud locators, pressure bars and.base locator plates which are mounted on any sturdily built wood work table, Tecots "Uni-Jig" makes it possible to assemble a wide variety of wall panels without the need for special measuring or marking of studs, plates and other parts that go to make up a wall section.

The "Uni-Jig" is simple to use because the stud locators and pressure bars literally snap into position. The locators and bars are formed of square tubular steel sections and are equipped with a spring actuated pin at each end. The pin is inserted in modularly spaced holes drilled into base locator plates at the top and bottom of the jig.

Only seeonds are required to set up the "IJni-Jig" for fabrication when modular spacing is used. When non-modular panels

are to be built, the exact location of studs and other parts can be determined through the use of scales which run the full

California Lumber Merchant

Dear Ole,

Forty years ago I personally remember when the "Save the Redwoods" league shouted hard and long for a program to "Saye the Redwoods" for posterity. lhe redwood industry cooperated to the fullest with the League, and not only accePted their program but earmarked areas for parks and road expansion beautifi cation.

At that time some 100 thousand acres were earmarked antl reserved for the State Park system expansion, The "Save the Redwood" league endorsed this program as being of sufficient acreage to preserve the redwood park image.

The public should know that without the League's help, the industry has adopted a perpetual program of conservation not only of the timber used for public consumption, but took the forrvard step of trec farms to grow redwood trees for the future.

I would suggest that these misinformed groups now take the time to study the record and confirm to a misinformed public that the redwood industry has made this contribution to save the historical background of the redwood forests for coming generations.

I wish to congratulate the California Lumber Merchant for their very factual editorial published in the 1964 Deeember issue.

Cordially yours,

D. C. Essley President, D. C. Essley & Son, Los Angeles, California.

David Cutler

California Lumber Merchant

Dear Dave: We are writing this letter to stato our opposition to the National Park Service proposal.

Taking into consideration the present governmental control of more than 200,000 acres of redwoods in the 26 redwood parks-mostly undeveloped-in the area, the government can adequately develop the presept park acres and use its own perfectly good redwood lands for such a park. Should the private lands be encroached, the transient tourist season could never replace the payrolls, taxes, and other finances generated by a year.round, 12month lumber industry.

The loss of any of the redwood industry in northern CaIifornia would severely ruin the economy, injuring private businesses and leaving thousands jobless.

Should this National Park Service proposal be successful, our town then would be first in line for the Anti-Poverty Program!

RespectfullY, Max R. Barnette Coast Forest Products. Inc. Crescent City, Calif.

Gentlemen: Although I have read the California Lumber Merchant:for many years as a lumberrnan, I bave never felt the need to write you before.

Now, however, I cannot resist congratulating You on the important and informative editorial in your December issue. It is fitting and timelY as there are many who would not have a single tree cut down because they do not realize the factsthat trees are a crop and must be harvested or theY will go back to dust and be wasted' And that is true no matter what the specie.

I believe in conservation like all good Americans, but I am also a realist. I believe those who favor a national redwood park have not considered the facts, First, there are 100,000 acres of selected virgin redwood groves already preserved by individuals, associations, and the State of California for Posterity with only about lO% being utilized. It represents the biggest and most beautiful groves that have ever existed. Do we need more of the same ? Second, taking this ProPertY (60,000 acres) ofr the tax rolls would throw an additional half a million dollar a year burden on the remaining taxPaYers. Ttrird, there are the jobs that would be eliminatedsome 1500. Finally, extremely heavY rainfall (highest in the United States) coupled with dense g'round fog would prevent use of the park nine months out of 12.

For all of us who appreciate your good work, I say "thanks."

Sincerely,

Ken Conway, Los Angeles,

Dear Mr. CuUer:

We have read and reread your editorial on "The Redwood Par:k Proposal" and feel that this proposal is deserrring of all the support it can get.

This is something that is very necessary for the public at large and, as .you suggest, we are going to follow through by writing the various contacts in Washington supporting these ideals and sincerely hope it will bring the desired results.

Sincerely,

Horace E. Wolfe, President Marquart-Wolfe Lumber Co. Long Beach, California
