How Lumber Looks

San Francisco, Feb. ll.-There.is no change in the strike situation at the Redwood mills in Humboldt and Mendocino counties and the mills are still down. The strike was called by the Lumber and Sawmill Workers lJnion, A. F. of L., on January 14. The principal union demands are a 22% cents an hour pay increase, union shop, and the right to fix relative wages of workers. The union turned down an offer of a l5 cents an hour increase, same as was accepted by the Fir workers in the Northwest.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended January 26, 102 mills reporting, gave orders as 42,136,000 feet, shipments 43,165,000 feet, and production 32,O42,0@ f.eet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 254.139.000 feet.

The Southern Pine'Association for the week ended January 26,81 units (114 mills) reporting, gave orders as 15,n4,O0O feet, shiprnents 14,644,000 feet, and production 14,485,000 {eet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 84.635.000 feet.

The California Redwood Association for the month of December, 1945, reported production of thirteen operations as 26,724,ffiO feet, shipments 21,495,000 feet, and orders received 20,572,0N feet. Orders on hand at the end of the month totaled 81.947.000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended January 26,143 mills reporting, gave orders as 72,0A0,-

OPA Grants Mark-Up for \Tholesalerg And Commission Men

Late this afternoon (Feb. 8) the OPA issued the following release: "The Office of Price Administration today announced that action will shortly be taken to establish a mark-up for direct mill shipments on Douglas fir, Western pine and other softwood lumber not now having the markup privilege. The a€tion is expected to result in a somewhat improved distribution of available supplies of construction lumber, particularly to small retail yards.

"The mark-ups to be provided for direct mill shipments are 5/o for wholesalers and retailers and 3/o for commission men, based upon the applicable mill ceiling prices. It is not planned to impose a dollar limitation on the size of the mark-up. Resellers will be permitted to include 2/. of. the mark-up in calculating resale prices."

OPA also announced that it intends to review immediately the existing mark-ups in Southern pine with a view to arriving at a uniform mark-up for all softwood species. OPA said that amendments to the various regulations are now being drafted and will be issued in the near future. Until such amendments are effective no mark-up may be charged or paid to the retailers, wholesalers or commission men on direct mill sales of lumber species other than Southern Pine.

President Truman Announces a Program to Amendment 1 to RMPR 348 - - Red Build 2,7OO,O00 Homes in 1946-1947

Washington, Feb. 8-President Truman tonight announced a program to build 2,7ffi,W new houses in 1946 and 1947.

It contemplates vast increases in the output of building materials, with government subsidies and other Federal payments, where necessary, to bring this about. " It calls for tripling the labor force now rvorking on residential construction, with wage rises where necessary as a phase of the recruiting program.

It also provides for the government to lend a hand in several ways to stimulate the prefabricated housing industry.

Other steps would include price ceilings on building lots and on all houses, new or old, "more effective price controls" on materials, continuation of rent controls, mortgage insurance up to 9O per cent of the value of new low-cost homes and a ban on "all deferrable and nonessential construction" for the rest of this year.

'Ihe program was drafted by Wilson Wyatt, housing administrator, after five weeks' study and consultation witl, government, business, labor and veterans' representatives.

Mr. Truman gave it his "complete and unqualified support" in a statement which urged Congress to "enact promptly" the laws it will require.

Of the z,7m,Offi homes, all to be "low and moderate cost," 1,200,000 would be started in 1946 and 1,500,000 in 1947.

The 1,200,000 for this year would include 700,000 conventional houses, 250,000 permanent prefabricated houses and 250,000 temporary units.

'lhe 1947 construction would be 900,000 conventional and 600,000 permanent prefabricated houses.

Mr. Wyatt reported that if Congress passes the necessary legislation promptly "the program should move into high gear" by April 1. Within two years from that time "the urgent need figure of some 3,000,000 homes should be met."

The program calls for $850,000,000 in governmental appropriations. Of this, $600,000,000 would be for the premium payments for more materials and $250,000,000 for moving and converting barracks and similar structures for temporary housing.

Cedar Logs

OPA has taken steps to equalize the buying opportunities of mills remote from red cedar sources, and small mills operating within easy trucking distance.

On and after February 2, 1946, remotely situated mills may buy red cedar logs at the delivered-to-mill prices whether the logs are loaded on railway cars or piled on the ground at the railway siding in towns where there are competing mills.

In addition, OPA has authorized appropriate deductions from delivered-to-mill ceilings by remote mills if they take delivery at an accessible roadside point.

For roadside prices, there is established a sliding scale of deductions from maximum delivered-to-mill prices ranging from $5 per l00O feet log scale for hauls of 10 miles or less to $12.50 per 1000 feet log scale for hauls over 30 miles.

Previously, roadside ceilings were determined by deducting costs of loading and hauling in railway cars from maximum prices, frequently causing considerable variation in pricing among buyers of red cedar logs.

OPA also announced an extension of the regulation to include Florida and Pennsylvania, not previously listed in the coverage of red cedar logs.

(Amendment No. 1 to Revised Price Regulation No. 348 -Red Cedar Logs; effective February 2, 1946.)

Wiff Head "Trces of Tomor row" Program Of the Forest Industries

Appointn,ent of Colonel William 11. Greeley, prominent American forester, to head the nationwide "trees for tomorrow" program of the forest industries, was atrnounced January 25 in Portland, Oregon, at a dinner attended by foresters and forestrymen fror-n all parts of the nation.

Former chief of the Unitecl States Forest Service, and for the past 18 years secretary-manager

the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Colonel Greeley will retire from his present position to become chairman of the board of directors of American Forest Products Industries, Inc.

In his new work, Col. Greeley will head an all-American movement sponsored by all forest industries-pulp and paper, lumber, plywood, shingles and others-to stimulate the growing of more trees on privately owned forest lands.

In announcing the appointment of Colonel Greeley, Corydon Wagner, Tacoma, Washington, chairman of the administration committee of AFPI, disclosed a plan for a farranging program to keep industrial and farm-owned lands continuously productive. "The private forests of this nation serve as great test plots for developing the most practical ideas for applying improved forestry principles," Mr. Wagner said. "No man in this country is so generally held to have more understanding knowledge or to have exerted more constructive leadership in the establishment of practical ancl progressive forestry principles than Colonel Greeley."

Mr. Wagner listed four specific forestry developments advocated and stimulated by Col. Greeley. They were: 1. Registered tree farming which now occupies more than 11 nrillion acres of land. 2. Expansion of fire prevention efforts arrd improved rvoods practices. 3. Growing of seedling trees for reforestation by forest industries. 4. The conceptior.r and promulgation of the forest industries' policy statement advocating for private enterprise a continuous yield forestry by a process of tree cropping to provide America r,l'ith perpetual forests.

In accepting the appointment, Colonel Greeley stated that "in tree farming, America is moving toward a forest economy such as those of Finland and Srveden." lle emphasized that those countries have commercial forests which today are yielding undiminished crops after 4O0 to 600 years of continuous cutting and growing.

"Our job is to grow more trees," the Colonel said. "The forests of America are one great natural resour,ce that neecl never be exhausted."

Colonel lVilliam Buckhout Greeley was born in 1879, the son of an Oswego, New York Congregational minister. As a boy he migrated rvith his family to California and in 1901 graduated from the University of California. He attended the Yale School of Forestry, receiving the degree of Master o[ Forestry in 1904.

Entering the U. S. Forest Service as a forest assistant in 1904, he saw service in the southern Appalachians, Nelv England, California and Montana before his appointment as assistant forester at Washington, D. C.

He served with distinction in the first World War as chief of the forestry section of the division of constructiorL and forestry and was decorated by both France and Great Rritain in addition to his own country.

In l9ZO Colonel Greeley became chief of the U. S. Forest Service and in 1928 assumed the position with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association which he leaves to accept his new post with American Forest Products Industries, Inc.

He is a fellor,v and former president of the Society of American Foresters.

Lcrrge Home Proiect Set

Monterey Park, Jan. l7.-Development of a $2,5@,000 housing project on 115 acres south of the business district was announced here today by an official of Kaiser Community Homes of Los Angeles. Purchase of the property by Henry J. Kaiser, the industrialist, from the Capital Co. was confirmed by Mayor Bradshaw.

The project calls for the construction of about 500 homes, partially prefabricated, to sell from $5000 to $7000. Standardized for mass production, they will be frame and stucco construction in two sizes, five and six rooms. At least six months will be required to prepare the land for building operations, it was stated.

..WHAT CONSTITUTES A STATE?

Not high-raised battlements, or laboured mound, Thick wall or moated gate; Not cities proud, with spires and turrets crowned; Nor bays and broad-armed ports, Where, laughing at the sun, rich navies ride; Nor starred and spangled courts Where low-browed baseness wafts perfume to prideNo! Men! High minded men! Men who their duties know, But know their rights and, knowing, Dare maintain them." ***

Every day in some of the newspapers I see pictures of returned soldiers in distress of some sort or other, without jobs, without homes, or in some other distressful situation. Wonder what these men, many of them with wound stripes, think is the answer to the above questien-"lfrfixt constitutes a state?"

somone named *rr.."r*rrJrrrrl, ,"- much of the same, and wrote the following bitter verse: "A cold park bench for his mattress, A cold pale moon for his light, A cold harsh voice for a menace, And nothing to ease his plight. ffome from the wars, a hero, With medals and ribbons to wear, Here in the park he hoversAnd nobody seems to care. Pride defeated, and victory Only a bitter crustNow he is wearing the medal, Of the peace that betrayed his trust." ***

A popular political columnist writes that millions of people in Europe look at the American labor situation at the present time, and it looks to them like revolution. There are millions of people on this side of the Atlantic who get the very same impression.

These are serious ,irr.:;or] ,.riot" in fact than during the darkest days of the war. There was never a time when we were in danger of losing the war. But who is winning the peace ? fs private ownership of property and free enterprise going to survive the present emergency ? The very character of our government hangs in the balance these days. Vast economic changes demand their place in the sun, whose shadows, if they won such places, would threaten democracy. The world rocks with tragic

problems that directly affect us. There is a mighty plea

' from the heart of America for competent and inspired leadership in this time of danger. But there is no reply.

We sit quietly, most of us, and watch the mill races of politics running in strange and hitherto unheard of directions, and we continue to assume that-regardless of the severity of the storm and the enormity of the threat-our government is eternal. Yet if history teaches anything it is that republics are short lived. All governments are but bubbles on the oceans of time, and those that last the longest are those best defended.

The dangers that thrdaten us from the encouraged growth of class consciousness and class organization during the past twelve years, are appalling, and could hardly be exaggerated. We see them all about us now. No longer timid or anonymous, all about us in one dangerous form or another, Communism rears its ugly head and threatens us with damage, with hurt, with destruction. Mister average intelligent American sees these signs, and they worry him. But they have not yet carried his worry to the point where he will do something about it.

As this is written a filibuster goes on in Congress to kill by indirection a proposed law that is as thoroughly Communist and as completely un-American as anything Trotsky ever dreamed of. And only the unfortunate weapon of the filibuster can be relied on in this effort to protect the rights of the white race to remain white. A majority vote would impose a hateful and merciless thing upon the people of the South. And all for votes.

A month ago r a""urla ; ;.". columns that r was still opposed to getting rid of OPA and lifting all of its regulations and restrictions. I have changed my mind. The things I see all about me, convince me that it would be better and safer to get rid of Mr. Bowles and his whole organization. When I see a whole nation turned over to the tender mercies of the Black Market by the stupid failure of OPA to understand what goes on, I believe it would be far better to let natural laws go to work. ***

The curse of OPA is that it kills production, and stifes distribution. We read daily the statement that OPA has held the line against inflation. But has it? The shelves of the stores of the United States today are bare of a majority of the necessities of life, NOT because they are not

Softwoods remain scarce with us at the present time.

(Continued from Page B) to be had, but because they are not to be had under OPA rules and regulations. Food and clothing of various kinds disappear, and there is much clamor for their return. Yet most of these scarce articles are scarce only in the White Market. In the Black Market, they are all plentiful. Because they will not or cannot meet OPA prices manufacturers either fail to produce in maximum quantity, or, having produced, either store the goods or sell them Black Market. The only people who get hurt are those who are either unable or unwilling to pay Black Market prices. The little folks and the honest folks get hurt the most.

Turn the nation ,"""" ;r": lpa ,."trictions, and you would instantly see a rush of production OF EVERYTHING that would soon find proper price levels through the only real regulatiofi ever devised by Providence-the Law of Supply and Demand. There is only one possible way to fight inflation and bring genuine postwar prosperity and that is through unrestricted maximum production. There is healing in production-healing of numerous economic and financial ills. I know of nothing that would do more to settle the present strife between labor and management than tremendous production of all worthwhile goods. All the whipsawing in the world on the subject of hours and wages can produce nothing in the end except discord, unless at the same time they develop and create and increase production of goods. fn production lies a good job for every good man; and another job if he doesn't like the first one. In that way lies genuine prosperity. Fighting over wages and hours is at the best, artificial. Produ.ction is everything.

If oPA was kicked J :"; prices might rise for the time being. But as rapid would be the rise in production. It would be far better to pay a higher price than OPA prices in a White Market, than pay still higher pricesas are NOW being paid-in a Black Market. And the untrammeled production route would quickly take care of the situation, and people with needs to be filled and money to pay for them would find shelves heaped high with good goods, instead of the present pitifully empty shelves in our stores-

Yes, I believe the present method is wrong because it deprives this nation of need6d production, encourages criminality by creating a Black Market oceanic in proportions, and creates nothing that is good. Thirty days after OPA died, we would be seeing plainly the sunlight of genuine rather than artificial economics.

*:t:k

Sometimes you find splendid sermons in moving pictures. I found many in the dialogue of the beautiful picture, "The Bells of St. Mary's." A young priest and a nun who clash over the teaching of children, furnish the thinker a whole basket full of food for thought. One is terrific. The young priest thinks a boy should be able to defend himself with his fists. The nun teaches the turning of the other cheek. The priest says to her: "After all, outside these walls this is a man's world." And the gentle sister, gently asks this terrific question: "AND HOW ARE THEY DOING?" There, I believe, in that simple question, is the most damning arraignment of man's management of the world I have ever heard. It might be well for every man, every day, in considering the plight in which the world finds itself today, to ask this simple question: "AND HOW ARE THEY DOING?" Could the job possibly be done worse?

KEEP UP TTIE GOOD WONK

I always read "The California Lumber Merchant" with a great deal of pleasure and profit. However, I wish to particularly compliment you on the fine editorials in your December 15, 1945, issue.

I especially enjoyed the following editorials and articles: "Christmas," "Selling Human Happiness," "A Year of Opportunity Beckons," "What Enthusiasm May Do," and "Keep That Boy in You Alive.', They contained a lot of inspiration and jusl good common sense.

Thank you very much, and keep up the good work.

\(/. C. L. A. 'Annual Meeting

Portland, January 25, 1946-Paul Bunyan has a new job -the biggest of lumber history, Dean Johnson, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, declared this morning in an address before the 35th annual meeting of the organization.

"I believe that this annual meeting marks the end of an important period and the beginning of a more important period in the relationship between the Association and individual manag'ement of lumber and forest properties," the WCLA president declared.

Sketching the grorvth of the Pacific Northwest's largest trade association, Mr. Johnson emphasized that the lumber industry of the region first set up an organization 41 years ago to deal rvith traffic problems. "Since then lumbermen have found it necessary to undertake many other important management functions through our West Coast Lttmbermen's Association ; all of r,r'hich, experience has shorvn, could not have been carried on economicalll' or efficiently, if at all, by the managenrent of any inclividual member company."

The Association head cited a long list of recent laws and government directives which, he said, require joint action by industry companies. He added, "Other new rules, not dictated by larv but by technological developments and

competition of other materials, requiring coordinated industry study and effort, have developed and are developing."

Nationally and regionally, Mr. Johnson declared, the lumber industry needs trade association services more than ever before

Requirements for nelv housir-rg and farrn buildings "place an obligation of our industry substantially equal in importance to war demands," Mr. Johnson told the Association members. "This obligation, in my opinion, temporarily transcends the important plans of many companies to curtail production to balance with sustained yield management plans, necessarily deferred during the war."

The following officers were elected: C. E. Kreienbaum, Simpson l-ogging Co., Shelton, Wash., president; Judtl Greenman, Oregon-American Lumber Corp., Vernonia, Ore., vice president for Oregon; Corydon Wagner, St. Paul & Tacoma l-umber Co., Tacoma, Wash., vice president for Washington, and C. W. Ingham, Fischer Lumber Co., N[arcola, Ore., treasurer,

Col. W. B. Greeley, Seattle, retiring secretary-manager, lvas made vice president, and his successor, Harold V. Simpson, was named executive vice president, H. E. Smith n'as rutnred secretary.

Consolidated Lumber Co., Wilmington, Calif., recently remodeled their offices by the installation of partitions. Two new private offices are provided, one for Rex Clark, assistant manager in charge of sales and lumber purchases, and one for S. M. Hotchkiss, purchasing agent.

The sales department and general office are partitioned to give each of these departments more privacy. Glass, the kind that admits light but can't be seen through, and Douglas fir panels were used in the partitions. The new arrangement will contribute to the comfort and efficiency of the staff.

The West Coast Lumber Co. is rebuilding the mill at Garberville, Calif., that was destroyed by fire last October. The new mill will cut about 40,000 feet of redwood daily. Mike Wheaton is manager.

Large Number of Applications Received For Veterans' Housing

Under the current veterans' housing priorities system, aimed at expediting construction of moderate-cost housing for veterans, which went into effect on January 15, applications for a total of 6,271 new dwelling units to be constructed in Southern California *had been received by the local FHA office as of Feb. 1, it was announced by John E,. McGovern, district director, Federal Housing Administration.

Of this total, 3,647 units have already received consideration, and the remaining 2,624 units are still under consideration, Mr. McGovern said.

"Of the applications received to date, 41 per cent stipulate sales prices of less than $7,500 for those properties which are to be offered {or sale. 77 per cent of those properties which are to be offered for rent stipulate a maximum shelter rental of less than $60 per month," he continued. "The top permissible sales price under the Priority Regulation No. 33 is $10,000, including land and improvements, 'and the top maximum shelter rental permitted is $80 a month."

lfnder the new system the Civilian Production Administration has delegated to the FHA, through the National Housing Agency, the authority to process applications for and issue HH preference ratings for 11 items of building material now in critically short supply. Applicants must agree to hold the accommodations for sale or rental to veterans during the course of construction and for 30 days thereafter.

Director McGovern said it still was too early to reach any definite conclusion as to whether the price distribution of the applications throughout the district is satisfactory, but every effort is being exerted by the FHA among home builders to induce the production of housing at price levels as much below the maximum as feasible.

Applicants for priorities must satisfy FHA that the proposed accommodations are reasonably related to the proposed sales price or rental and show they are ready to begin construction within 90 days, Mr. McGovern concluded.

"Green Commonweclth"

Seeking a fitting commelnoration for its 50th anniversary, Simpson Logging Company of Shelton, Wash., choose to honor the early pioneers by commissioning Stewart Holbrook to chronicle in historical fashion the ."cradle days" of Mason and eastern Grays Harbor counties in the state of Washington. The book is titled "Green Commonwealth."

Simpson Logging Compar.ry feels that to these early pioneers, their descendants, and the people of the region belong the credit for building and maintaining the wholesome and substantial communities no\\' existing in the locality covered by the narrative.

The narrative leads the reader through several distinct eras or periods of logging and lumbering operations of this Northwest country. It also tells of the company's forest management plan developed to permit continuous operation on a sustained yield basis.

Mr. Holbrook's r,vork will prove very interesting to anyone connected lr'ith the forest products industries.

Upward Trend in Home Ownership

Although home ownership declined 9.6 per cent in Los Angeles in the l0 years before the lvar, an upward trend has been evident since l94O and is expected to continue as new residential construction gets under way in large volume, Paul C. Keenan, president of the Southern California Chapter of the Producers' Council, national organization of building product manufacturers, stated today.

"Census figures shorv that the percentage of local families olvning their ou'n home decreased from 37.3 per cent to 33.7 per cent in 191O," Mr. Keenan said. "Nationally, the percentage of urban home owners dropped f-tom 43.4 per cent to 37.5 per cent during the decade.

"The redttction is attributed principally to depressed conclitions which led to a sharp drop in employment and family income and consequently in home building during the period in question.

"Since 1940 the percentage of urban home on'nership in, the nation has increased almost 15 per cent as a result of high employment and income and the redrrction in the supply of rental housing. The continuation of this decided upward trend is confidentll' anticipatetl, both locally and nationally, during the next five years or so llecause incomcs :rre exl)ected to remain high, the cost of financing homes will be lolt'er than be{ore the war and ernployment is expected to breal: all peacetime records.

"In the decade lrctn l92O to 1930 when brtsiness conditions were generally gocld, home ownership n-rade decided gains. In Los Angeles the percentage of families owning the home thev occupied rose from 34.7 per cent to 37.3 per cent.

"Despite the trend to home ownership since the start of the war, there alrvays will be a large demand for rental units in communities like I-os Angeles because many hundreds of families do not expect to remain permanently in the same place, because some families do not care to assume the responsibilitf involved in owning their own home, and for other reasons.

"A high percentage of home ownership is regarcled as a definite asset in every community because families who own their homes forni a more stable population and tend to take a greater interest in civic betterment."

OPA Increases Prices of Western Manager for Orban Lumber Co. Softwood Shingles

An increase of 15 cents per square in ceiling prices for mill sales of Western softwood'shingles in all standard grades has been authorized by the Office of Price Administration, efiective January D, 1946. (A square is understood to be the number of shingles required to cover 100 square feet standard exposure.)

The increase was granted after a recent cost study indicated that the Western softwood shingles industry had a profit margin that was inadequate to absorb a wage increase of 15 cents per hour agreed upon by the industry and unions representing the workers, and approved by the West Coast Lumber Commission of the War Labor Board.

This increase does not affect prices for most consumers because the greater volume of mill output of Western softwood shingles is bought from the mills by retail lumber yards and other distributors r'vhose price ceilings are frozen at December l, 1945 levels which are considered by OPA to be sufficient to permit retailers to absorb the current incrase at mill level. Industrial users who buy Western softwood shingles direct from the mills will be required to pay higher prices.

Ceiling prices of the No. 1 grade of Westem softwood shingles, 16 inches in length-the most popular sized shingle on the market-are, through this pricing action, set at $4.70 per square.

Western softwood shingles are produced almost exclusively in the states of Washington and Oregon.

Appointed Scles Representcrtive

W. W. Wilkinson, 112 West 9th Street, Los Angeles, has been appointed exclusive sales representative in Southern California for McCormick-Baxter Creosoting Company. This concern has treating plants in Portland, Oregon, and Stockton, California.

A Douglas fir recently felled had grown an average of 106 board feet of wood each year for many years, until maturity slowed its growth rate.

Captain Carvel D. Brown, U. S. Engineers, was appointed manager of the Orban Lumber Co., Pasadena, following his release from the service December 1. He had been for some time in charge of the CPA office in San Francisco, which handled the California production of all woods. While in that position it rvas the consensus of the lumbermen that he did a very fine job for all concerned.

Captain Brown grew up in a lumber atmosphere, the Redwood Empire. His father, Percy J. Brown, was formerly a well knorvn manttfacturer of Redwood lumber, rvith a sawmill south of Scotia on the Redwood Highway. Carvel was with the Little River Redwood Co. at their mill for several years and spent some time in the East as this company's sales representative, with headquarters at Harrisburg, Pa. Then came nine years experience with The Pacific Lumber Company at their mill in Scotia. He is married and he and NIrs. Brown have an eight year old son. They have taken up their residence in Pasadena.

Worse Off

Two Irishmen got into an argument, which, since they were Irish, naturally ended in a fist fight. It was raining hard and they were out in the road, but that made no difference. Soon Pat had Mike flat on his back and was beating him hard with both fists. Finally he said:

"Ys hard-headed son of Erin, do ye give up?"

"Not by a damn sight" replied Mike, struggling furiously.

So Pat went back to beating him. Again he asked him to give up. Again Mike refused. When he refused the third time, Pat, on the top, got disgusted.

"Then change places wid me, ye lousy shpalpeen," he shouted. "I'm sick and tired of kapin the rain off ye."

New Beginnings

By Don Marquis

Many a time I have been stricken to the earth, But thi earth is full of strength which I take into my heart; I have been defeated again and again;

But there is something within me which is never defeated, For I am full of new beginnings.

My blood shall drink iron of the spears that pierce me, My lips shall make laughter of the bitterness of any cup, And out of despair, I shall make a song.

If the skies are empty I should still set there the gods I have felt:

Doubts and fears I have but f trample them down And make them a highway to victory.

Whether towards light or towards the blackness of oblivion I shall still march on.

For the gods have put into me some of their own eternal buoyance.

The Fcrble of the Boss and the Tecmster

Once upon a time there was a teamster who was alive from his collar up; also a boss who ran the business on the same time table his daddy used.

Now the teamster, being beseiged with constant calls for bread, butter, and clothes and "the makin's," worked both ways from his necktie. He had a foolish idea that the boss would fatten the pay envelope in exchange for a bright, new customer. So, when he delivered the lumber to Jones, he looked for trouble and found it in chunks.

Smith, next door to Jones, needed a new fence to keep the lowing kine in the town herd ,from eating the posies in his front yard, and the teamster passed the glad tidings on to the boss. But when he suggested that the boss go out and sell Smith that fence the boss said that, "Father never did it that way;" and the teamster went out and kicked the mule.

But the teamster still had a spare tank of think-gas and his machine was sparking on all cylinders, so, when he heard that the boss at the other yard needed a teamster, he went over there, and offered himself and his IDEAS. The other boss saw the point, and gave him the glad hand.

But his old boss continued to run the yard like daddy did. He was still the boss, and the new teamster was only a teamster. And the cashier at the bank thoughtfully fingered his overdue notes.

MORAL: Even Napoleon allowed his soldiers to do some of the fighting.

Will Rogers once met his match in a clash of good natured wit with the late Chauncey Depew. The old Senator was watching Will perform in the "Follies" in New York City, when Will spied him, and, as was his habit called the attention of the audience to the veteran wit. saying that Mr. Depew had been entertaining American audiences for 91 years. Mr. Depew rose, and admitted that he had been trying to make people laugh for a mighty long time, and that, unlike some people he knew, he had never had to use a lasso to hold their attention. And the audience howled.

Distributive Levels to Abso6 Mill Increases for Hardwood Lumbet

Washington, D. C., Jan. Z4-Lumber distribution yards -both retail and wholesale-will be required to absorb the recent increase of 4 per cent in mill prices for hardwood lumber produced in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, the Office of Price Administration announced January 26.

In an action which becomes effective January 30, 1946, distribution yard ceiling prices for such lumber are frozen at the levels of December l, 1945. This means that in calculating their ceiling prices, they must use as a base the f.o.b. mill ceiling prices in effect on December 1, 1945.

The four per cent increase in mill ceiling prices on hardwood lumber produced in Michigan,'Wisconsin and Minnesota became effective December 26, 1945.

This action is in line with OPA's general policy of requiring absorption of mill price increases at distributive levels, where fair and practicable.

(Amendment No. 4 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 467-Distribution Yard Sales of Hardwood Lumber-effective January 30, 1946.)

Adiustable Pricing Basis to Apply To Screen Doors and Windows

Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.-Manufacturers of screen doors, combination doors and extension window screens made with 14x18 mesh galvanized and bronze wire and 16x16 mesh aluminum wire have been authorized by the Office of Price Administration to ship these items on an adjustable pricing basis, pending issuance of ceilings by the price agency.

The action became effective January 22, 1946.

Until ceiling prices for doors and windows made with the nevv screell wiring are provided, OPA said that manufacturers may bill at the ceiling prices established for doors and r,r'indorvs made with 16x16 mesh galvanized 'n'ire, rvith the provision that the buyer may be charged for an additional amount if ceilings established for the new mesh items are higher than those for 16x16 mesh galvanizecl wire.

(Order No. 2 under section 6(d) of Maximum price Regulation No. 381-Stock Screen Goods-effective Tantrary 22, 1946.)

Coordinqtion in Reconversion

Priorities Regulation 33, Direction 1, Mail-Order Houses Permitted to Continue Amended Catalog Prices on Building Materials

Washington, D. C., Feb. IWidening the channel through which it is moving lumber, millwork and hardwood flooring into the Reconversion Housing Program, the Civilian Production Administration today issued an amendment to Priorities Regulation 33, Direction 1.

The new amendment broadens the use of the certification of orders established by Direction 1 by permitting a distributor to place certified orders for housing construction lumber with a distributor who sells at wholesale. officials explained.

The "wholesale" distributor who uses his inventory to fill certified orders from other distributors is permitted bv the Amendment to replace it by placing certified orders with a sawmill. However, such inventory replacements are subject to the limits which Direction I places on the sale of lumber purchased on a certified order.

Defining "jobbers" as those who buy and stock millwork or hardwood flooring for resale at wholesale, the Amendment permits them to place certified orders with millwork and hardwood flooring manufacturers for delivery in February and March, 1946. The Amendment limits the total quantity which the jobber may place for February and March delivery to not more than 1O percent of the amount of his 1940 millwork (in units, pieces, or footage) or hardwood flooring receipts, and stipulates that whatever quantities are obtained on certified orders must be held for 60 days following receipt for orders rated HH or AAA.

An amendment to the General Order authorizing community ceilings on building materials, efiective January 30, 1946, permits mail-order firms to apply to the OPA for authority to continue sales at uniform catalog prices, when such sales are made by mail and on the basis of published catalog prices.

This action was necessary to allow mail-order firms to continue their characteristic business practices which would be impossible if they were compelled to recognize the area pricing orders for building materials listed in their catalogs.

To come under the provisions of the amendment, sellers must make special application to the Office of Price Administration, Building Materials and Construction Price Branch, Washington 25, D. C. For a seller to employ cata1og, rather than area, prices on sales by mail, he must establish historically published catalog prices and must have sold at least 20 per cent of his total dollar volume on,this basis.

(Amendment No. 3, General Order No. 68; effective January 30, 1946.)

Amendment 20 to MPR l55-Hcrdwood Lumber

An increase averaging about 7/o in manufacturers' ceilings for standard grades of hardwood produced in the south central hardwood region was announced by OPA. (Amendment 20 to MPR 155, effective Feb. 11.)

Washington, D. C., Jan.24-A revision of the provisions for obtaining ceiling prices for special hardwood lumber items not specifically priced in OPA's regulation for Northern and Northeastern hardwood lumber has been announced by the Office of Price Administration.

The procedure, which will eliminate much continuous filing of applications for prices for special items by mills, becomes effective January 29, 1946.

Under the nelv procedure, a manufacturer receiving approval for a price for a special item may continue to use that price for subsequent sales of the same item, without applying again for approval, unless OPA limits its approval in some manner.

Under the old procedure, price approval for a special item was limited to the one order for which the price was sought. On all subsequent sales of the same item, the seller was required to apply again to OPA for approval of a price.

Special items affected by this action include all special items not specifically priced in the Northern and Northeastern hardwood lumber price regulations.

For example, heel stock-the material of a special grade used in the manufacture of rvooden heels for women's shoes-is a special Northeastern hardrvood item.

Other special items include Northern and Northeastern lumber of grades or dimensions not listed in the regulation. For instance, specific prices are provided for lumber, one-inch, one and one-half inches and two inches thick, but not fcir material two and one-quarter inches thick. A mill is to apply to OPA for a price for Northern or Northeastern hardrvood lumber two and one-quarter inches thick, if it receives an order for stock of that thickNCSS.

(Amendment No. 8 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 368-Northeastern Hardwood Lumber; Amendment No. 14 to Maximum Price Regulation; No. 223-Northern Hardwood Lumber, both effective January 29, 1946)

Pope & Talbot Announces Pension Become Charter Members oi zs-Year Club Plan for Workers

Pope & Talbot, Inc., 97 year-old lumber and shipping firm, through its president, George A. Pope, Jr., today announced from the excutive offices in San Francisco, the completion of a pension plan which has the approval of the U. S. Treasury Department and is retroactive to June 1, 1945.

With a long-range plan as the objective, and designed to operate in prosperity as well as depression business eras, the adopted plan is the result of a special research conducted by the company. "Before we developed the Pope & Talbot Retirement Income and Life Insurance Plan," stated Mr. Pope, "we sent questionnaires to organizations in related fields in our financial bracket. From this research we incorporated into our project many important features and we believe .that we have adopted a most feasible and comprehensive pension plan that will offer security to our workers."

"The adopted plan also embraces men and women from the military service who are returning to the company," Mr. Pope ernphasized. "Ary employee who left the company to join our Armed Forces, will, r,vhen reemployed be considered to have the same status as though his employment with the company had never been interrupted. The plan includes not only a retirement income but also provides for life insurance and is based on the average salary earned during the last ten years of employment."

The firm of Pope & Talbot, Inc., had its beginning on the Coast in the Gold Rush days rvhen Captain W. C. Talbot and A. J. Pope, experienced in lumber and shipping on the waterways and in the forests of N{aine, came to San Francisco in '49 to lend their services to gold seekers. But the Puget Sound's forests proved a stronger lodestone and in 1853, sawmill machinery was shipped from Maine 'around the Horn' to the organization's first operation at Port Gamble, Washington

Oldest operating lumber firm in the West and third largest in point of production, the Pope & Talbot nucleus has expanded into national coverage and distribution, with many divisions, one of which is the McCormick Steamship Division.

Army-Navy Lumber Agency

Washington, D. C., January 1l-Centralized control and procurement of lumber for both the Army and Navy is being continued in the postwar period through the ArmyNavy Lumber Agency, established jointly by order of the Under Secretary of War and thc Assistant Secretary of the Navy, to take over the wartime functions of the Central Procuring Agency, Offlce, Chief of Engineers.

A Lumber Policy Committee of the Army and Navy Munitions Board has also been established to set policies and procedures for the Army-Navy Lumber Agency and supervise the observance of these policies and procedures, in accordance with the objectives of the Army and Navy Munitions Board.

The Army-Navy Lumber Agency is established under the Office, Chief of Engineers, United States Army, with both the Chief of Engineers and the Chief of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, United States Navy, directed to provide such personnel and administrative servi'ces as may be required for the operation of the Agency.

The field organizations of the Army-Navy Lumber Agency rvill carry out the actual procurement functions and will be lo,cated as follows: An agency at Atlanta, Georgia, in the office of the Division Engineer, South Atlantic Division; one located in the office of the Navy Supply Depot, Seattle, Washington; and one in the office of the District Engineer, Portland, Oregon. Any one of the Agency's field offices may be used for procurement of lumber for any of the various Armed Services or for such other agencies as the Veterans Administration, the Panama Canal or other Federal Agencies who may obtain this service upon approval by the Army and Navy Munitions Board.

Tl-re primary advantage of centralized control cited by the Agency is the speed .rvith which new procurement may be made. llon'ever, the first job of the Agencv rvill be the redistribution of excess inventories, r,vherever they occur, so as to prevent the Armed Services from having to go back into the market until all war acquired stocks are reallocated. The Agency is also given authority over reporting, screening and transfer of excess lumber stocks between the services and their branches.

When procurement is again initiated, the lumber trade will have the benefit of being able to use identical contract forms and specifications on all the Armed Services buying through the Agency. The Agency also emphasizes that it rvill maintain the war-time record of prompt payment of bills and successful bidders will be paid within ten to thirty days. The Army-Navy Lumber Agency will maintain a complete statistical record on its lumber procurement scl that procurement information will be available to any interested agency of the government.

The Agency will use three methods of buying through its auction system : "grademarking," "certificate of inspection" and "government inspection." The auctions will be as rvell advertised as possible and will be open to all interested bidders. All species of lumber, rough or finished, including poles and piling, cross ties and plywood will be purchased through the Agency. The only exception to centralized purchase will be in less than carload lots on which the Using Agency may purchase direct, provided it makes the purchases from local markets.

Cast Iron Scsh Weight Ceiling Prices Cclculqted Under New Method

Retailers and wholesalers of cast iron sash weights are permitted by the Office of Price Administration to increase their ceiling prices up to the point rvhere their margins over cost equal average operating expense rates for the trade.

Effective January 30, 1946, resellers may either continue to sell at their present ceiling prices or use their laid-down cost plus their expense rate, rvhichever is higher. This action does not supersede area pricing orders which fix specific maximum prices on sash rveights in a particular area. In other words, a reseller may not increase his selling price if his present ceiling is higher than his new laid-down cost plus the average expense rate for the trade.

The expense rate for wholesalers is 15 percent over laiddown cost, and for retailers 30 per cent.

This pricing action is designed to relieve the hardship experienced by some sellers as the result of an increase of ten per cent in manufacturers' ceiling prices for cast iron sash weights, which resellers rn the past have been required to absorb in full.

(Amendment No. 17 to Second Revised Supplementary Regulation No. 14 to General Maximum Price Regulation; effective January 30, 1946.)
