How Lumber Looks

Six of the eight major mills in Seattle closed on March 4 when between 1,200 and 1,300 employees of the Sawmill and Lumber Workers' tlnion struck after negotiations over new contracts and wages broke down. The union demanded an increase of 10 ,cents per hour.

The employers'have ofiered to increase the wages 7rf cents an hour which was demanded by the union a few weeks ago before their'convention at Longvierv, Wash.

At the Longview meeting, the union demanded a flat l0 cents per hour wage increase for all lumber workers in the Pacific Northwest mills.

A total of l7l mills in Washington and Oregon which reported to the 'West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the rveek ended February 27 produced 98,D5,927 feet, shipped 128,934,532 feet, and booked new business of 87,753O80 feet. The unfilled order file at these mills stood at 7D.152.158feet.

The Association reports that conditions remain about the same as the past. two or three weeks. Shipments continue to be high with production and orders by comparison low. Production is still 1O per cent less than the average established last October or just prior to the maritime strike.

The Western Pine orrolr"Jorr*for the week ended February ?7,112 mills reporting, gave new business as 63,804,000 feet, shipments 68,846,00O feet, and production 44,556,000 feet. Orders were 43.1 per cent above production, and 7.3 per cent below shipments. Shipments were 54.5 per cent above production. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 332,N7,ffi feet.

>k d< *

The California Redwood Association for the same week

reported production of l3 mills as 8,672,00O feet, shipments 9,903,000 feet, and new business 8,352,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 83,406,00O feet.

An unusually small increase in building permits was reported by 88 of the largest Pacific Coast cities during February in contrast with the same month last year. Permits from these cities showed a gain of but 2.26 per cent in February, L937, over February, 1936, according to the Western Monthly Building Survey prepared byH. R. Baker & Co., California investment banking firm.

A total of $15,239,471 in building permits were issued this,February compared with $14,902,089 last February, but the number of permits showed a sizable gain, in,creasing f.rom 7,1@ in February , 1936, to 8,832 in February , 1937.

Los Angeles retained first place although it recorded a decline from the preceding month, while San Francisco in second place was almost identical rvith both the preceding month and the corresponding month last year. Oakland follor,ved in third place, rvith an increase over both the preceding month and corresponding month of 1936. The same was true rvith respect to Denver in fourth place. San Diego rvas in fifth rank and was followed by Long Beach, Portland. Sacramento. Vernon*and S*eattle.

Fir prices are very firm and lumber is hard to get as the mills have heavy order files.

Lumber cargo receipts at Los Angeles Harbor for the week ended IVIarch 7 totaled 15,731,000 feet, as compared with the record breaking previotts rveek, when 29,743,W feet came into this port.

The Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Redrvood markets continue very firm and the mills report a fine volume of business.

rt may be a wise *"rr, ,lruJ"u,**ho k ro*s his own home just a few short years from now, particularly if the trend of home selection on the part of an already great army of people, continues to broaden and grow. Just abo,ut the time that the auto camp seems well on the way to put the highway hotel on the Fritz, along comes the trailer camp to do the same thing to the auto camp. You see them everywhere already. No permanent buildings except the central offices and needed service houses. Just trailers.

And where one trailer *r; ;r- year, five grow today; and where five grow today there will be ten, or perhaps twenty, tomorrow. Who knows? It isn't only the lure of the road, and the joys of simple living that is doing it. The same old mill-stone that is dragging so hard on all of us is one of the dominant factors: TAXATION. All the taxes you pay on your trailer is the auto and gasoline line of taxes.

flome, the poet said, is l"nl*.rn" heart is. Then if that be true, a trailer has as much right to call itself home as has the structure built on permanent locations. That is, if someone's heart is in it.

Speaking of homes, ,a;* "J"ars that Uncle Sam himself is rapidly becoming the biggest home owner in this here country. Under its Home Owners Loan Corporationa Governmental agency that was considerably abused but which was not without great merit-we have already authorized foreclosures on seventy thousand homes on which Government money was loaned. Co,mpetent authorities estimate that before the end of 1938 ninety thousand more foreclosures will have been affected by this agency,

or a total of one hundred and sixty thousand homes that Uncle Sam will own. This, we are told, is a conservative estimate.

*,f*

It seems inevitable that by the end of four more years this Government will have on hand hundreds o,f thousands of homes for which it has no use, and which it never wanted or wants to own. It just cannot help itself. It will not only own this enormous number of homes, but it will have to operate and handle them, and that won't be any child's pIay.

'F**

Uncle Sam will have to pay taxes on all these homes scattered everywhere. He will have to keep them in repair; keep them insured; he will have to rent them and collect the rent; he will have to take on the unbelievable number of troubles that inevitably follow in the footsteps of the world's greatest landlord.

***

To say that it will be a terrible mess, is a very, very mild estimate of the consequences. Think of finding tenants and checking up on the care-takers of several hundred thousand homes ! Talk about your Government in business ! Uncle Sam will be in the home owning and operating business deeper than anyone in all history. There are well informed men who believe that the easiest and even the cheapest way out of the dilemma would be to cancel the whole business.

**,k

That efforts of legislative character will be made to cancel the mortgages held by HOLC in the next couple of years, there can be little doubt. Already there are bills in Congress seeking to reduce the interest and lighten the load of the owners of mortgaged homes under this agency. The trend of opinion in the matter is already evident.

**>F

For instance, it is related that in Florida the HOLC brought suit to foreclose a mortgage on the home of a carpenter, who was far behind in his payments. The judge who heard the case refused to grant the foreclosure. He decided that the Government made the loan primarily to help the man save his home; and so if the Government now took that home away from him it would nullify the original purpose of the loan, so there was no sense to the Government's plea for foreclosure.

**t<

The judge did not decide that the carpenter did NOT

Mr. aruI Mrs. America are out in force again--eager to see what progress has been made in the art of housing. They're the home builders of today-and of tolnorrow.

Well, there's plenty that's new and interesting to see-isn't there? Even in windows! Expensive nuisances like weights and cords are no longer necessary. The new Silentite Windows never swell or bind or rattle, inetead they glide up and down so smoothly that a child can easily lift or lower them. Draftproof-dustproof-they are Insulateil Yindows-reducing heating expense by as much as 25%!

What do Mr. and Mrs. America say to that? Just what you would. They want Silentite in their new homes-and thereos a sale made for the Curtis Dealer-not only for windows-but an entering wedge for his entire line of materials. That's why so many Curtis Dealers are enjoying such a rapidly increasing business.

Perhaps Curtis can show you how to add Mr. and Mrs. America to your sales force. Remember that Mr. and Mrs. America ask no commissions. Write us for all the facts. If your territory is open we shall be glad to discues the Curtis Sales Plan with you. Just use the coupon.

It is reported that worlds of borrowers from HOLC have never since they got their loans paid interest, taxes, or anything else, and never intended to. So far as the Government is concerned, it made its HOLC loans in good faith and for a worthy purpose; but they were made during the period of time when from the length and breadth of this land people were borrowing everything they could get from Uncle Sam for innumerable purposes besides relieving mortgage distress on homes; and when it was freely proclaimed that "Santa Claus" would never try to collect. ***

I have myself sat and heard men roar with laughter when they proposed getting huge loans from the Government, and were asked the once important question; "FIow can we ever repay it?" That feeling that Uncle Sam only wanted to distribute money to get it in circulation and that he never expected to get it back, was a very general one. Many men who sought HOLC loans, sought them with that mental attitude toward the loan; while the majority were in such deep trouble with their home mortgages, that they had no desire to look deep into the future, but grabbed at the opportunity offered.

Uncle Sam acted a *.Jo *r,J. His proposition and his terms were fair. But he is going to have to take a huge percentage of those homes from their owners-or else. The thing is so big it is bound to attract much attention as the tide of delinquency rises.

It sure puts Uncle ,"- t" " lorr*n "noa. He moved in nobly to prevent hundreds of thousands of American families from being thrown out of their homes because of home indebtedness i and now for him to have to move in and throw them out himself in wholesale quantities, is something of a predicament. What will he do?

George C. Walker is dead. To many people in California that name and that news is very important. George C. Walker was a famous builder and constructor of fine buildings in the West. But to me it meant a lot more than that. Several years ago I told a newspaper man who interviewed me on the subject of stories and story-telling; that in my ramblings I had never heard but two master story-tellers.

handle ALL the many branches of story'telling-there is practically no such animal. Dialectarians and orators combined-arefew'

I had heard two. Dr. Jack Shields was the greatest I ever heard. He died several years ago. George C. Walker was the other. And when I picked uP a newspaper and found that he had died-as did Dr. Shields-from a heart attack, I felt a great sense o'f personal loss. Had George Walker not been a master of his profession and a most successful business man, he could have set the entertainment field afire. For he had everything. He could tell a darkey story far better than Irvin Cobb; an Irish story in much finer style than could the Virginia Judge; a Hill-Billy story better than Bob Burns; and besides he was a master of Swede, Italian, Spanish, English, Cockney, Scotch, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, stammering, hair-lip, and everything else. He was a REAL story-teller, was George Walker. We won't hear any more like him. And that kind of story-teller -for some reason-never gets on the stage. He is always too busy doing something else.

I got "jumped on" in rltJry l""rrion since my last issue Vagabonds by the Certain-teed Products Corporation concerning the remark I made about Beaver Board being a thing of the past.

L. A. P. l. Indor3er FHA Demongtration Homcs Program

In a bulletin to members of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles on February 27, Kenneth Smith, secretary-manager, told of the indorsement by the directors of that organization of the national campaign now being conducted by the federal housing administration in Washington to have demonstration homes built all over the country for the Ameri.can family that can afford to pay from $250O to $5000.

The bulletin urged local lumber dealers to arrange with their builder-clients for the erection at once of several of these low priced homes to be ready for the national simultaneous official opening at 2 p. m. on May 1. In the next two months the progress of the drive will be widely publicized by the federal housing administration, which already reports 1324 houses sponsored. As only 12 of these are in California, the Lumber Institute feels more interest should be developed locally.

REPAIRS NEEDED

Out of nearly 26,000,000 homes in the United States 15,000,000 are reported by the United States department of commerce to be in need of repairs.

"1. Since Insulite is made of wood, it has not been at all difficult to impress upon the builders and contractors of Detroit that in fnsulite they get a product which has all the advantages inherent in wood itself-as well as the added advantages provided through your patented process of manufacture.

THE GENUINE CRAFTSMAN

You don't have to preach honesty to men with a creative purpcse. Let a human being throw the energies of his soul into the making of something, and the instinct of workmanship will take care of his ho,nesty. The writers who have nothing to say are the ones you can buy; the others have too high a price. A genuine craftsman will not adulerate his product; the reason isn't because duty says he shouldn't, but because passion says he couldn't.-Walter Lippmann. ***

UNINSPIRED

She: What do you suppose I should do if you tried to kiss me?

He: I haven't the faintest idea.

She : And haven't you the faintest curiosity ?

REFLECTION

By Reta M. White

Upon my face is strongly etched

The tracery of years;

f see each petty jealousy, And all my selfish fears.

I wonder if my mirror

Would a little kinder be, IfI had thought more of my friends, And a little less of me.

HE wouI,il tr",rt" rt

An old Scotchman had a peculiar habit of holding his nose whenever he took a glass of whiskey. When asked why he did it, he replied:

"Mon, if I smell it,it makes ma' mouth water, and I dinna want to dilute my drinks wi' anything."

Cato said: "r had rathel ,"ln lnt"ru ask why my statue is not set up, than why it is."

A HALF HOUR

A half hour a day put intelligently into music will make you a musician.

A half hour a day put into public speaking will make you an orator.

A half hour a day put into hard work w:ll make your fingers creative.

A half hour a day put into purposeful reading will give you a liberal education.

A half hotrr a day put into study of any subject will, in a few years, make you master of it. It is being done every day.

A half hour a day put into vigorous outdoor exercise will keep you healthy and hard, and able to keep the pace.

A half hour a day on your knees will make you a saint.

An old darky was sent to the hospital and one of the nurses put a thermometer in his mouth to take his temperature. Presently when the doctor made h:s rounds he asked: "Well, Mose, have you had any nourishment?"

"A lady done gimme a piece of glass to suck on, boss, but I'se still pow'ful hungry."

Moore-Cawston to Manufacture Moore Dry Kifnr at Vancouver, B. C. Plant

N{oore-Cawston Dry Kiln Company, Ltd., is the nan.re of the new organization resulting from .combining the Carvston Dry Kiln Company., Ltd,, of Vancouver, with the wellknown Moore Dry Kiln Company.

The new firm brings together two of the oldest names in dry kiln manufacture. Cawston Dry Kiln Company has been building dry kilns at Vancouver for more than twenty years. The Moore Company has been in business since 1879. Now that the trvo companies have joined forces, Canadian lumber and woodworking plants rvill be able to get full advantage of all the modern patented "Moore" improvements in kiln design, including the famous Moore Cross-Circulation drying System, the split-hub dry kiln fan, and other improvements covered by more than forty Canadian and U. S. Patents.

For several years Cawston Dry Kiln Company I-td. has been acting as sales agent for Moore Dry Kiln Company in British Columbia, during which time representative installations o{ Moore CrossCirculation Kilns have been made at Westminster Shook Mill Ltd., Nerv 'Westminster,; False Creek Lumber Co. Ltd., Vancouver; Cameron Lumber Co. Ltd., Victoria; Hillcrest Lumber Co. Ltd., Duncan; and other prominent British Columbia mills.

New machinery is norv being installed in the Vancouver, British Columbia plant formerly operated by Cawston Dry Kiln Company Ltd., and manufacturing facilities and personnel increased. Manufacture of all equipment for Canadian destirration 'il'ill be in the Vancouver plant, thus saving Canadian mills and rvoodworking plants the "duty" which would otherwise have to be paid on equipment produ,ced outside Canada.

Sydney H. Car,vston, founder of Cawston Dry Kiln Company Ltd., is managing director of the new Moole-Calvston Dry Kiln Company, in charge of the Vancouver plant. Other officers are: Chas. J. \Arilliarns. president; Forrest Cobb, vice-president: Gorclon Duncan. treasurer. N{r. Williams is also presiclerrt of Moore DryKiln Company of Jacksonr-ille, Fla. and Portland. C)re. Mr. Cobb is also manager of Nloore Dry Kiln Company, Portlan<l, ()re. Mr. Duncan is Seattle representative of the N{oore Company and is rvell-knorvn to British Columbia lumberrnen.

Title I Ursently Needs Help

Everyone interested in the building industry should give vigorous support to the extension of Title I of the National Housing Act rvhich provides government guarantee of private banks and financial institutions to home olr'ners for remodeling work. Title I r,vill expire on April l, 1937, unless extended by Congress.

The National Lumber Dealers Association is making a tremendous drive to secure extension of Title I, but they are meeting with the opposition of Stewart McDonald, head of the Federal Housing Administration, who has the idea that Title L has served its purpose. Reports indicate that there is increasing sentiment in Congress for extension of Title I.

Senator Prentiss 1\1[. Rrorvn of Michigan, Democrat, has introduced S-1568 advocating a tr.vo-year extension of Title I without change.

Congressman M. K. Reilly of Wisconsin, Democrat, has introduced H.R. 4991, a similar bill, simply extending Title I in its present form. Congressman Reillv is a member of the Banking and Currency Committee of the House, and thoroughly familiar rvith Federal Housing Administration legislation.

Not only is the building material industry behind the request for extension of Title I, but the follot'ing associations have formally adopted resolutions urging its extension, and are cooperating in an effort to secure it: Asphalt Shingle and Roofing Industry; Gypsum Association ; Illinois Master Plumbers Association; National Door l\{anufacturers Association; National Lumber Dealers Association : National Lumber Manufactttrers Association; National Paint, Varnish an<l Lacquer Association; Wisconsin Master Plumbers Association: Morris Plan Bankers Association; Michigan Bankers Association; Institute of Boiler and Radiator Mar-rufacturers; Metal Lath Manufactttrers Association; National Association of Woodwork; Industrial Bankers Association ; Missouri Industrial Bankers Associa' tion; L-rsulation Boarcl Institute; Plumbing and Heating Industries Bureau; Central Supply Association ; Southern Wholesalers Association. and Eastern Supply Association. With only a little over two l'eeks to go, everybody should get behincl this movement and push. Write or rvire your inclividual Senators and Representatives at Washington rrrging the extension of Title I.

ADDS STEAMER TO LUMBER FLEET

Larvrence-Philips Lumber Co., Los Angeles, has purchased the Steamer Covena from the Hammond Lumber Company, who has been operating it in the coastwise and gulf trade.

The Covina is a single end steel vessel of. 2372 gross tons. It rvas built in Ecorse, Michigan, in 1919. It carries approxihately 2,000,000 feet of lumber, and it is the intention of the new owners to operate it between Grays Harbor and Los Angeles Harbor.

This will give Lawrence-Philips Lumber Co. three vessels operating in the coastwise lumber trade. The Lawrence-Philips will continue to operate between Coos Bay and Los Angeles Harbor, and the Point Loma will operate between Columbia River and Los Angeles Flarbor, taking general merchandise northbound to Portland.

This should give them a potential tonnage of about 10.000.000 feet per month of lumber into Los Angeles Harbor.

MOVES TO NEW LOCATION

Richard Goehring, who has been operating a lumber yard at Alameda and Anaheim streets, Wilmington, has moved the business to the southwest corner of G and Lagoon streets. Mr. Goehring has been connected with the lumber business for the past twenty-five years, coming from Nehraska to California some years ago.

TAKASHI FUKAMI

Once upon a time there were two retail lumbermen in a near by Southern California city, good friends and all that, but not above giving an extra dollar off to their competitor's customers when they got a chance to figure a bill for them; best of all however they enjoyed playing jokes on each other.

Not so long ago one of them got hold of some discarded blank checks of "Takashi Fukami." lle carefully filled out the name of the payee, the amount and signature in hieroglyphics-anything that came into his head-just a lot of meaningless curves and hooks, and the next time he was in Los Angcles he mailed it to his competitor who studied and studied over it. Finally he secured a Japanese dictionary and tried to match up the characters but "no could do." Thinking it might be Yiddish he took it into his good friend Isaac Rosenabaum, the genial clothier, late of the Bronx, lvho pored over it and finally said it rvasn't Yiddish, but it might be Greek. Nick Papadopoulas, the Greek fruit merchant, was next appealed to, but after turning it over and studying it, he suggested that our retailer friend take it to the bank. which he did.

Said the bank cashier, "M/ friend, somebody is pulling your leg, Takashi Fukami rvent back to Japan over five years ago."
