Lumber Industry Will Not Slaclren OPA Industry Advisory Committee Production Pace With End of War

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 1S-"The lumber industry will not slacken its production pace with the end of the European war, nor even when the war with Japan is over," Fred H. Brundage, western log and lumber administrator stated Saturday in commenting on the tremendous need for lumber for war and for vital civilian uses. "Full employment on a steady, year-after-year basis is assured in this major northwest industry, which in the past has provided six out of every ten jobs in the states of Oregon and Washington."

Paying high tribute to employees and rnanagement of the logging indus(ry Brundage pointed out that 1944 log production had exceeded 1943 production by 76 million feet. "Log production in the Douglas fir region during 1944 was 9,687,000,000," Brundage pointed out "All branches of the log-using industries used less logs in 1944 except the pulp mills. Increased production, largely hemlock logs going to pulp mills, amounted,to 177 million feet. Lumber production for the Douglas fir region for 1944 amounted to about 8 billion feet, or about 2.9/o under 1943."

Brundage's statement went on to say : "The production in the western pine region, including the five western states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and California was estimated at 5,960,000,000 or .6 of. 1/o less than in 1943. Production in the redwood region was estimated at 655,000,000 or 4.7/o over 1943."

Despite la,ck of trained men and a critical and constant shortage of heavy-duty truck tires Brundage pointed out that lumber production lor 1944 was only slightly under the previous year, ofr 7.7/o. Praising operators and employees equally for doing a fine production job, Brundage said: "With only a 1.7/o drop in production, considering the shortage of manpower, tire shortage and other difficulties besetting operators, this is believed to be an excellent production record. It shows that both workers and management turned out more logs and lumber than the forecast for the year indicated."

For California Meets

The fi-rst meeting of the OPA Industry'Advisory Committee for California. which is a sub-committee of the National OPA Retail Lumber Advisory Committee, was held in Fresno on February 14. The meeting was confined to organization of the committee and to discussions relative to current problems. Paul Hallingby, Harnmond Lumber Company, Los Angeles, was elected chairman; Jack Wood, E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Oakland, vicechairman, and Bernard B. Barber, secretary of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, was elected to serve as secretary-treasurer.

The 'committee is composed of eight members: Paul Halling,by, Walter Spicer, Bay District Lumber Company, Newport Beach, and Harry McGahey, San Diego Lumber Co., San Diego, from the Southern California Retail Lumber Association; Ray Clotfelter, W. R. Spalding Lumber Co., Visalia, George'Adams, Noah Adams Lumber Co., Walnut Grove, and Walter Peterson, Bakersfield Building Materials Co., Bakersfield, from the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California; Jack Wood, and M.

the Bostonia Roger Beatty,

Mr. Nolan was widely known in Southern California lumber circles, and was with the Patten-Blinn Lumber Co. in San Diego since 1911. He was prominent in civic affairs and was a former vice president and director of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. He had been president of the Mer,chants Credit Association, and was a member of the San Diego Rotary Club.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Nellie Nolan. Funeral services were held at San Diego, February 21.

Highlights of \(/estern Pine Director's Meeting

Election of new ofifrcers and reports by committee chairmen and t944 offrcers were the principal items considered at Western Pine Association meeting of its board of directors on February 9. The directors met in lieu of the Association's regular annual meeting whi,ch was cancelled at government request.

A,tg, J. Stange, president of Mt. Emily Lbr. Co., La Grande, Oregon, was elected Association president. He succeeds A. J. Voye of Big Lakes Box Co., Klamath Falls, Oregon, who served in this capacity for the past two years. Other new officers elected were: R. A. Colgan, Jr., Diamond Match Co., Chico, California and H. B. Jamison, Byles-Jamison Lbr. Co., Fresno, California, vice-presidents and A. Cl Lighthall, Oregon Lumber Co,. Baker, Oregon, treasurer.

S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager of the Association with headquarters in Portland, mentioned in his report that the present Association membership represents 79.I/o of. the Western Pine region's lum,ber production and 82.2/o of its shipments. lfe also stated that the Association members are located in 10 western states and the province of British Columbia, but the largest number of members and the greatest volume of Association production are in Oregon. California is second and Idaho third.

Promotion and research plans were approved. Their importance in the peacetime economy ahead was stressed. The Association's annual outlay for research now exceeds $50,000. One of its most promising projects-an entirely new process of seasoning by means of solvents-is being tested on a semicommercial scale in the Association's $80,000 pilot plant at Bend, Oregon.

fn a resolution, the Western Pine Association went on record as approving ten specific suggestions offered by National Retail Lumber Dealers Association as desirable in postwar merchandising of lumber. The resolution endorsed "these suggestions in principle and in fact as exemplified by Western Pine Association's past efiorts and future plans with respect to promotion, research, coverage of retail conventions, dealer helps, consistent manufacture of good lumber-rigidly graded, well manufactured and thoroughly seasoned-and by its long-termed and sizeable

finan,cial support of National Lumber Manufacturers Association in building code and other activities."

Analyzing the current situation in the Western Pine lumber industry, W. E. Griffee of the Association staff, predicted that the war would continue to require the bulk of Western Pine production. He stated that Philip Boyd of WPB when in Portland on January 3oth held out no hope that military needs would taper off soon. Moreover, Boyd had said that urgent requirements for lumber are well over current supply and he had asked for more production, though realizing that little could be ixpected during the months just -ahead to provide relief from situations caused by the industry having less men, older equipment and fewer truck tires to work with than last year, Grifiee reported. He added that Barometer reports for the first four weekq of January (1945) indicated that lumber production in the Western Pine region during January equalled or slightly exceeded the all-time record made in January of 1944.

What did you do today, my friend, From morning until night?

How many times did you complain, The rationing is too tight?

When are you going to start to do All of the things you say?

A soldier would like to know, my friendWhat did you do TODAY?

What did you do today, my friend, To help us with the task?

Did you work harder and longer for less? Or is that too much to ask?

What right have I to ask you this? You probably will say; Maybe now you will understandYou see-I DIED*TODAY.

The above tragic satire was written by one of our great war heroes, Lieut. Dean F. Chatlain, while recovering from terrible wounds in an army hospital in Algeria. This man was hit 74 tirnes by shell fragments. One of them almost severed a leg. He completed the amputation with his own knife, and then waited eight hours before medical help reached himu Truly he had a right to ask-

' "Did you work harder and longer for less?

What did you do,*today?"

Don't let the problem of the returning soldier get too far from your mind, Mr. Good Citizen who stayed at home. To do so would be fatal. His problem is OUR problem. It is up to us to do a lot of his thinking, his p,lanning for him. The idea is beautifully expressed in a bulletin on the subject issued by the Rotary Club of Auckland, New Zealand, which says in part: "Now it is our turn to pay in service for the veterans. They have paid their whack. A satisfied soldier is the finest asset we can have in postwar years. A disillusioned soldier is a reflection upon ourselves, and a potential danger to the plans of our reconstruction." The proper handling of the returning soldier problem in this country, ranks ahead of everything except only the actual winning of the war. ft can be done successfully, and it can be done beautifully, if we make it our first line of postwar business. If it is done in haphazard fashion, or left to the politicians who just don't know how, it will be a sad mistake. The returning soldier, dear friend, is a matter that should come ahead of your daily mail, your daily business, every morning. Like all the good things of earth, it won't just happen. 'We've Cot ? i"O: n happen-right.

You may look upon the short month of February as a

little runt, too stunted in size to compare favorably with our other months, but you'll have to admit one thing-it produced two of the greatest men in all the world's history, and did it right here in the United States. I need hardly tell you that I refer to Washington and Lincoln. Until I chanced upon the tragic little poem by the wounded soldier which heads this column, I had intended heading it with Abraham Lincoln's favorite poem. So I'll just stick it here, or part of it. The title is-"Oh, Why Should the Sp rit of Mortal Be Proud?" It belongs in every thinking person's scrapbook.

Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

Like a swift-fleeting meteor, a fast-flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, Man passeth from life to his rest in the grave. For we are the same that our fathers have been, We see the same sights that our fathers have seen, We drink the same stream, we view the same sun, We run the same course that our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thinking, our fathers would think; From the death we are shrinking, our fathers would shrink;

To the life we are clinging they also would cling, But it speeds from us all like a bird on the wing. They loved; but the story we cannot unfold; They scorned; but the heart of the haughty is cold; They died; aye, they died; and we things that are now, That walk on the turf that lies over their brow, That make in their dwellings a transient abode, Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimage road.

Yea, hope and despondency, pleasure and pain, We mingle together like sunshine and rain, From the gilded salon to the bier and the shroud, Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

In his own incomparable way, Col. Bob Ingersoll spoke of Lincoln as follows: "FIe was educated in the University of Nature-educated by cloud and star-by field and winding stream-by billowed plains and solemn forests-by morning's birth and death of day-by storm and night-by the evbr eager spring-by summer's wealth of leaf, and vine, and flowerthe sad and transien'i glories of the autumn woods-by winter, builder of home and fireside, whose storms without "t?a.*,ni social warmth within."

Some wise man has well written that Lincoln revolutionized the American manner of speaking and writing; that he did for our American type of English what Dante

(Continued from Page 8) did for the Italian. He did more to make a simple style of expression, using few and easy words in such a way ds to give them unheard-of power, than any other American.Witness the Gettysburg Address. Witness the little impromptu speech he made to his friends and neighbors when he left his home in Springfield, Illinois, to go to Washington. His words: "Without the assistance of the Divine Being, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail. Trusting in Hirn who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending youo as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell." Search all the books in the language and see if you can find anything to compare with those expressions

He was a very practical fellow, was Lincoln. (Every year at this time I recite sorne of my favorite Lincoln and Washington stories in this column. This is one I think I have not told before.) When he said he fought "with malice toward none," he meant it literally. When he was a youngster working in a store in Springfield, a drunken bully entered the store and tried to start a riot. Finally, all efforts to appease the fellow having failed Lincoln said to him: "Well if you must be whipped, I might as well do it as any other man." So he grabbed the big bully in his great arms, crashed him hard to the ground, and held him there while he calmly rubbed a hand full of "Smart weeds" in his face. The bully cried with pain, and begged for mercy. So Lincoln picked him up, brought some cold water and bathed his burning face, and sent hirn on his way, a well chastened bullY'

His sense of humor was immeasurable. Innumerable true stories have been told on the subject. He could "kid" his own people much easier than he could the enemy. One day at the worst part of the Civil War, someone asked Lincoln how many men the Confederates had in the field. Ffe replied that they had twelve hundred thousand. When the questioner exclaimed in wonder at that figure, Lincoln gravely informed him that every time one of his generals took a whipping, he always reported that he was outnumbered three to one. "I must believe them," said Lincoln, with that twinkle in his eye, "and, since we have four hundred thousand men under arms, and they have three times as many, they must*have twelve hundred thousand."

But his greatness, the humility and gentleness and Christliness that makes him grow even bigger as the years pass, was based on his entire lack of vanity, egotism, arrogance, and vengefulness. On the eve of his second election, he said: "My gratitude is free from any taint of personal triumph. I do not impugn the motives of anyone. ft is no pleasure to me to triumph over anyone." There speaks true greatness. Can you imagine one of our political leaders today saying such a aT"*;t * Washington had much of the personal modesty that

marked the character of Lincoln, although he lacked Lincoln's magic gift of self expression. When he left his beloved Mount Vernon to take up the great cares of the Presidency, he wrote: "With the best disposition to render service to my country in obedience to its call, but with less hopes of answering its expectations."

**rF

"No nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life," wrote John Richard Green. "Washington uras grave and courteous in address; his manners were simple and unpretentious; his silence and the serene calmness of his temper spoke of a perfect self-mastery. But there was little in his outer bearing to reveal the grandeur of soul which lifts his figure, with all the simple majesty of an ancient statute, out of the smaller passions, the meaner impulses, of the world around him. ft was only as the weary fight went on that the colonists discovered, however slowly and imperfectly, the greatness of their leader; his clear judgment, his heroic endurance, his silence under difficulties, his calmness in the hour of danger and defeat; the patience with which he waited, the quickness and hardness with which he struck. the lofty and serene sense of duty that never swerved from its task through resentment or jealousy; that never, through war or peace, felt the touch of a meaner ambition; that knew no aim save that of guarding the free-' dom of his fellow countrymen, and no personal longing save that of returning to his own fireside when their freedom was secured."

**r<

It is the smaller things about Washington that intrigue me. For instance, he was the most punctual of men. When he said he would meet the Congress at a certain hour, not one minute after that hour had arrived, he was there and ready. And he demanded punctuality of others, so far as their affairs with him were concerned. It is recited by one of my favorite historians that when he invited guests to dine with him, he seated himself at the table at that hour, regardless of whether or not the guests were all there. And when they came late, he said to them courteously but tersely: "My cook never asks whether the guests have arrived, but whether the hour has." ***

And by the war the meaning of the office of President was done in interesting fashion. According to the Madison Papers, the convention that created the Constitution first thought to call the head of our government "His Excellency." A committee changed that to the simple title"President of the United States." It is understood that that wise man, Dr. Ben Franklin was the author of the title. It is reported that he likewise facetiously suggested at the same time that they call the Vice President-"His Most Superfluous Highness." Dr. Franklin would! '*rF*

The words you read and hear so often these days-..a just and lasting peace"-were the words of Lincoln. At his second inauguration he uttered these matchless words: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's

Hold Postwar Planning Conference

While .the potential postwar demand for lumber is built up to "fantastic figures" the problems that will confront the industry in tomorrow's job will be the most critical in history. Pacific Coast sales executives of the Lumber Division of Pope and Talbot, Inc., assembled in San Francisco, February 9 to 12, to discuss and analyze this fact and to sharpen their approach toward assuming the important undertaking scheduled ahead.

With the attention. primarily directed to postwar planning at the meeting, the Pope and Talbot officials, however, did not neglect the complexities of their immediate task-the task to meet the requirements of the military which are now higher than at any other time.

Discussion panels on "tomorrow's job" highlighted improved methods of production, marketing, distribution, and new patterns in sales planning with emphasis on sales training.

C. L. Wheeler, executive vice president of the comlany, told the conference that the construction industry is oue of the foremost factors to lead the national economy back into .normal channels and to provide a vast amount of employment after the war.

"Basically, industry has two broad divisions-production and distribution," Mr. Wheeler declared. "The keystone to the entire arch is distribution. based on economv of ex-

penditures and the elimination of waste in the distribution system,

"Postwar distribution must be based on efficiency and will be reached by the manufacturer who puts all the scientific 'know-how and selling drive' he can develop into his distribution program.

"The postwar period rvill require better salesmen, more efficiently trained. The marked trend to consolidate and create large buying units with greater buying power will, to some extent, be tried out in lumber distribution; this will mean that the old-time salesman who trusted his personality to make up for his lack of knowledge of his own business and his customer's business will find himself ushered out of most buying offrces' doors with little ceremony."

Mr. Wheeler warned that the planning of private enterprise alone cannot provide postwar prosperity, and unless national policies relating to taxes, labor relations, investrnents, and numerous other subjects are favorable to private competitive business, industry cannot maintain maximum peacetime production and employment.

The Pope and Talbot conference, included in addition to Mr. Wheeler, E. R. Wade of Portland; George B. McGill and Ralph W. Martin of Eugene; Fred Amburgey of Medford; J. Harold Cyr of Seattle; W. B. Wickersham, William Schorse and William Davis of Los Angeles; S'tanley Quinn, Frank A. Brown and George R. Kendrick of San Francisco.

Both Wcrys

A bunch of negro soldiers in France were sitting around joking about the boat trip across the Atlantic. The subject of seasickness got much attention, and one of them. said to another.

"Mose, looked t' me lak you was bout de sickes' boy in de entiah comp'ny."

Instead of being hurt, Mose showed signs of pride. He said:

"Yassuh, I spect I was bout de sickes' sojer in de whole ahmy. Yassuh ! But I suttinly did enjoy hit."

"What?" said his friend. "You means t' tell us dat yciu enjoyed bein' seasick?"

Mose said: "Yassuh. Sho did."

The other said: "Mistuh, I sho wish you'd explain dat statement cuz when I was seasick I come mighty neah dyin'. Den how come you enjoyed hit?"

Mose said: "Well. Suh, when I'm sick on de ship, dey done give me all de orange juice I kin drink. An' I sho loves orange juice, and dass de fust time I evah gits all I wants of hit. An' I not only, gits all I kin drink, but I gits hit twice-goin' down, an' comin' up ergin."

Pity the Precrcher

The preacher has a great time. If his hair is grey, he is too old. If he is a young man, he has not had experience enough. If he has ten children, he has too many; if he has none, he is setting a bad example. If his wife sings in the choir, she is presuming; if she does not, she isn't interested in her husband's work. If the preacher reads from notes, he's a bore; if he speaks extemporaneously, he isn't deep enough. If he stays at home in his study, he doesn't mix enough with people; if he is seen around the streets, he ought to be home preparing h good sermon. If he calls on the poor, he is playing to the grandstand; if he calls at the homes of the wealthy, he is an aristocrat. Whatever he does, som,eone could have told him how to do better.

No Results Expected

A man appeared in a newspaper office and placed an ad offering $100 reward for the return of his wife's pet cat. The clerk was interested. She said:

"Isn't that an awful lot of money to pay for a cat?" He said: "I won't have to pay. I drowned it."

Allections

Talk not of wasted affection, Affection was never wasted; If it enrich not the heart of another, Its waters returning Back to their springs, like the rain, Shall fill them full of refreshment; That which the fountains send forth Returns again to the fountain.

-Longfellow.

Commerce

Commerce is a game of skill, which every man cannot play, which few men can play well. The right merchant is one who has the just average of faculties we call common sense; a man of strong affinity for facts, who makes up his decision on what he has seen. He is thoroughly persuaded of the facts of arithmetic. There is always a reason, in the man, for his good or bad fortune; and so, in making money. Men talk as though there were some magic about this, and believe in magic, in all parts of life. He knows that all goes on the good old road, pound for pound, cent for c.ent-for every effect a perfect causeand that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Shcrme!

Cop-"Lady, it's against the law to swim in that reservoir."

Lady-"Well, why didn't you tell me that before I got undressed?"

Cop-'lThere ain't no law against undressing."

Redbud

Too lovely to be real, here is this slim Brown net of limbs that lie in intricate design Under the crystal sky. This is no whim Of wearied fancy, that our eyes define

From tangled thoughts webbed in a darkening brainThese scarlet-clustered stems, blue-misted, still Beneath the hush of wind-this soft refrain Of color breathed upon a greening hillNot so. Once Beauty walked here undivined. This is a flowering dream she left behind.

[urnishing Homes for Beturned Veterans

Interosting Prohlom for lumher lloalors Rr Ja* Iionne

' Mr. Lumber Dealer, the newest, best and most interesting merchandising matter of the moment for retail lurnber dealers is couched in three words: HOMES for VETERANS.

Yes, Sir, hornes for returned veterans have just stepped into the national limelight, and I predict they will play a huge part in the housing program of the next two or three years. So, such being the case, the lumber dealer is the man to jump in, learn hor,v, grab hold, and lend the best assistance he can to this outstanding feature of the G.I. Bill of Rights-Homes for Returned Veterans. llere's the picture:

In order to take advantage of the helpful offer of assistance from his grateful government to help him get back into civilian life in souncl and happy shape, the returned veteran must be one u'ho has been honorably discharged from the service, and r,vho cannot find a place to live. Those are the two fundamentals of the matter. If an honorably discharged returned veteran rvill make deposition that he has been unable to find a suitable place to live and therefore rvants to build himself a home, the Government will do two things for him: first, it rvill give him a permit to build a home of a specified character and cost; second, it u'ill guarantee a loan for the br.rilding of that home up to trvo thousand dollars, and pay the interest on a loan of that size for the first year.

So I called on a couple of Building and Loan Association men I know, and asked them to give me a lvord picture of this nerv Homes {or Veterans mo\.enlent originating in the G.I. Bill of Rights, and from their statements and the literature they l.rave already prepared on the subject, THIS is rvhat the n'hole thing means:

A returned veteran rvith an honorable discharge rvho cannot find a place to live, can do the follorving things: He fills out WPB Form No. 2896 and submits it to his nearest FHA office. If they find that he has been honorably discharged from the service, they will accept his r,r,.ord for the fact that he has been unable to find a place to live, and they will issue him what they call an H-3 rating, rvhich is the same as AA-3, for priority in securing building materials to build a home, and the1, l,ill honor his application for a permit to build. He need not file his material bill, or even his location for the home rvith this paper, but must file a statement of the size and character and cost of his proposed home. He can then go to a loan agency and borrow the money to buy a lot and build a home. If he has funds to make part payment, rvell and good, and they will loan him the remainder, or they will gladly loan him the entire amount. Under the G.I. Bill of Righis the Gov_ ernment guarantees two thousand doilars of the roan. Then

the veteran must find someone to sell him the rnaterials and someone to build the house-after he has found a lot. 6f 66u15s-and it is best where he finds a contractor or builder who will do both so he just does business rn'ith one man or concern. When the home is completed arrd ready for delivery, the loan agency pays all the money, the builder gets all cash, and all the veteran has to do is move in. Nice, eh ? Yet that is exactly the way these very responsible Building and Loan men told the story to me. Loan the entire amount, they say ? Hell, yes ! And glad to get such loans in any amount. A G.I. Loan costs only four per cent interest. An FHA loan costs 5 per cent. The Government puts no limit on how much a vereran may pur into a house. The loan company will probably be the deciding factor in that regard.

Looks simple, and so far as I can discover, it is. The big problem right now, of course, is finding the building materials available under the H-3 rating. Yet it can be done. It is being done in innumerable cases, rigl-rt nou,, and as Iumber becomes available alter Germany falls, this thing will grow fast. Looks like a .ivonderful chance for the lumber dealer to help himself, to help a lot of good vet,erans who are standing in line every day trying to find a place to live, and what is vitally important, it may head off some of the other types of Government housing that are already hanging over us. We have read suggestions out of official Washington for Government builcling material yards to supply veterans building needs. They are not needed. Give our dealers the materials, and they rvill clo a far better job of it.

Any veteran who was in the armed forces on or after September 76, 7940, who served at least 90 days, or who was injured or disabled in line of duty regardless of hor,v long he served, is eligible. So is any woman, same rvay. Tr,vo veterans married to one another get double benefits in the same loan. These loans .ivill be available to veterans for two years after leaving the service, or for trvo years after the war ends, whichever is later. The financing of veterans home loans must be handled in the local community. The home must be built for the occupation of the veteran. However, there is no restriction against his building a two, three, or four unit home, but he must occupy one of the units. Many vets will take advantage of this chance and build two or four unit domiciles, rent all but his ou'n, and perhaps carry his own load free. The vet can buy a new home or a home already built with this same financing plan. And finally, the veteran does not have to have a penny in order to build a home, if he can find the materials and a builder for his H-3 priority. And they are standing in line, waiting.

Looks like a chance, men.

Order Ll50-c Amended; Softwood Plywood

Purchase of softwood plywood under blanket maintenance, repair and operating supplies ratings has been prohibited in order to curtail the use of this critical material for relatively non-essential purposes, the War Production Board announced todqy. The action was taken by an amendment to Order L-l50-a and is expected to conserve an estimated 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 square feet of softwood plywood per month, which has been passing through distributors' hands on blanket MRO ratings.

Hardwood Lumber

General price increases at the mill level averaging $3 a thousand feet board measure on hardwood lumber produced in the Southern region were authorized today by the Office of Price Administration. The increases, efiective February 9, 1945, are the minimum required by law. They will permit a 75 per cent minimum of output to ,be produced without financial loss. OPA said.

(Amendment 16 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation

Adds New Equipment

lMestern Lumber Company, San Diego, has added some new equipment at its plant, including a Ross lift truck, Vonnegut moulder, and a Mereen-Johnson resaw. The yard is all paved and fenced. The company's business is over 95/o in the war effort, and its employees are practically all old timers having been rvitl-r the firm from 5 to 50 years.

New Logging Tomccrt irs Crecrting Interest

The "Tomcat," new 46,000-pound tractor and logging arch, an interesting innovation in the logging field, is now being tested at the operations of the Simpson Logging Company at Shelton, Wash.

It takes the place of the tractor trailer, and does the work more efficiently and saves many young trees, ac.cording to Newell Wright, senior logging engineer, Region 6 of the U. S. Forest Service. Mr. Wright is the originator of the idea of the Tomcat, and this experimental one, built at the F'orest Service's shops in Portland is the only one in existence.

It is claimed the Tomcat is more maneuverable in the woods, as the trailer is eliminated. It is 2f tons lighter than the trailer-tractor combination, and has proved itself more useful in wet weather. Patents have been applied for w'hich will give equal rights to all manufacturers that wish to make the machine after the war.

"Lignablock"

Lignum Vitae, the "Wood of Life," so called because of its supposed medicinal, curative powers, was taken back to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century. This was over 10O years before the sailing of the "Mayflower," car' rying our Pilgrim fathers to Plymouth Rock. Little did the physicians and apothecaries think at that time-400 years later, that Lignum Vitae r,vould be so vital today.

Lignum Vitae is the hardest wood known, weighing twice as much as oak. Approximately 30 per cent of its volume is in natural resin which renders the wood self-lubricating, and especially adaptable for use under water. It is used principally in the great Naval vessels of the world for stern bushings, lining stern tubes of propeller shafts, pulleys and rigging gear. There is no substitute for Lignum Vitae.

Davis Hardwood Company, San Francisco, carries, in addition to the Lignum Vitae Logs, a complete stock of the "Lignablock" (Lignum Vitae sawn blocks). The blocks are boxed heart timbers, coated with clear shellac and are stocked in three bracket sizes: 5t' and up by 5" and up, by 24" and longerin length ; 7" and up by 7" and up, by 24" and longer in length; and 10" and up by 10" and up by 24" and longer in length. The grade of the blocks is in accordance with the U. S. Navy Department specifications 39L2d, type "B-Block."

This "Lignablock" is proving very satisfactory. It eliminates considerable r,r'aste. There is saving in transportation costs and labor. Blocks furnished in this form reduce waste in the elimination of sap and irregularities in the log, and save operations in the manufacture of Lignum Vitae bearings for ships.

Redwood Seasoning Committee

San Francisco, California, February 8, l945-Tangible advancement in the technique oi drying durable Redrvood lumber signalized the past initial year of cooperative wood research by the California Redwood lumber industry through its Redr,vood Seasoning Committee.

The Redr,vood Seasoning Committee is composed of the kiln operators of the industry's lumber mills. It was formed a year ago to carry on group and individual investigation into seasoning problems at the miils. Anticipating postu'ar customer requirements, its - sights were set to enhance Redwood's already time-proven qualities to "stay-put."

Manufacture of stress-free dry ldmber was thc major aim of the committee's vl'ork during 1944. Most notable result was the establishment of optimum kiln schedules which, tvithin a short 24-hour reconditioning period, en-

tirely relieve casehardening stresses in one-inch Rech'r'ood stock.

In continuance of this important product improving project, the committee this year is committed to explore the problems associated tvith drying other classifications :.i economical Redrvood. It will delve into the particular char' acteristics of this versatile wood as they effect proper seasoning.

At this year's first monthly meeting in January at the mill of The Pacific Lurnber Company, Scotia, Calif., the kiln irperators revier,ved the past year's practicable hndings, charted their course for the ensuing year, and reelected I. G. Utschig, Union Lumber Company, Fort Bragg, Calif., chairman of the comnrittee for 1945. L. W. Orman, The Pacific Lumber Company was elected secretary.

East Bay Hoo-Hoo Club Celebratas 2Oth Anniversary

The regular dinner meeting of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 held at Hotel Claremont, Berkeley, on Monday evening, February 19, brought out a big crowd.

President Wm. Chatham, Jr. presided, and Larue Woodson took charge of the first part of the program which was the celebration of the Club's 20th Anniversary. He asked Norm Cords, the youngest past president to introduce the one who preceded him and worked back in this way until Clem Fraser was introduced. Nine past presidents were in attendance and they made their introductions in clever rhymes and jingles that created a lot of amusement. Those rvho were at the meeting in addition to those already mentioned were: George Clayberg, Lewis Godard, Tom Bran_son, llenry Hink, G. F. (Jerry) Bonnington and Bert Bryan. Absent were Jim Overcast (now in the U. S. Army), Shirley Forsey, Miland Grant, Earle Johnson and Ray B. Cox.

Bert Bryan paid a tribute to the five past presidents who have passed away. These are: Gordon Pierce, C. I. Gilbert, H. Sewall Morton, James Neighbor and Charles Lamb.

The speaker of the evening was Wm. R. Piden, superintendent of schools for the City of Alameda, who has made the history of the West his hobby. Mr. Paden told the story of De Anza's expedition from Mexico City to establish the Presidio and Mission of San Francisco in 1775. He received hearty applause and an invitation to give another talk in the future.
