THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT

It was James Whitcomb Riley, kindly poet, who wrote:

"It hain't no use to grumble and complain;

before you put it on these days, be sure you have Coupon No. 17 handy.

It's jest as cheap and easy to rejoice; When God sorts out the weather, and sends rainWhY-rain's *Y choice"'

*** Yet you can't help sympathizing in understanding fashion with the philosophy expressed in the following, by "Yes, Doc, I know that it is never work, But worry and fretting that drive men berserk; Yet where is the man who would scurry about, If he had no worries to worry about."

***

Much is being said and printed about the reconstruction

in our lives that conditions have brought on. Yea, man !

Take in the old prohibition days, for instance, when you invited some friends to dinner. You wrote at the bottom of the invite-"BYOl"-which being interpreted meantas all men know-"bring your own liquor."

*** It's different now. If you have the hardihood to invite a gang to dinner, you write at the bottom of the invite: "Bring your o$rn coffee, sugar, butter, cream, canned goods, meat, and ice cream. We furnish the unsliced bread

and cut whiskey, ourselves."

{.t*

In the good old days "Ole" was a Swede's name. Today it means the stuff we use to take the place of the butter that took an ocean trip.

{.** They talk and write at length about postwar matters.

But the biggest argument in millions of American hornes in postwar days will be, who's going to cook what for who, and why should I?" And then there was *J;r: who smiled through the preliminaries of all this rationing, but screamed with fright when she saw a midget. She thought they'd started rationing men. **rF

Before Italy entered the war, Hitler, in one of their conferences at Brenner Pass, urged Mussolini to invade South-

ern France at once, and always Benito made excuses. "Go through the St. Gothard Pass," suggested Hitler. "It is mined," replied Benito. "How about the St. Bernard Pass?" asked Hitler. "But how can we pass those big dogs?" asked Benito.

* * * Believe it or not, Napoleon said: "There are in the

world two powers-the sword and the spirit-and the spirit has always vanquished the sword." But that was after he RETURNED from Russia. **rf

One of Hitler's chief excuses for invading other lands and seeking a great German Empire was that there was not sufficient room in Germany for all the Germans. WelI, thepe's a fellow named Joe who is helping him solve that problem now-by reducing the number of Germans. Soon there will be plenty of room in Germany for all the Germans Joe leaves.

***

We talk glibly about feeding the world. Wonder how many who make that noise know how many people there are in the world? There are more than eleven hundred million people in Asia, four hundred million in Europe. I haven't heard the latest count on Africa, but there are 130,000,000 people in the United States and about two and a quarter billion people in the rest of the world. The job makes our Victory Gardens look kinda small, doesn't it? **t

Most of the folks f hear and read about who discuss regimentation and regulation, apparently fail to distinguish the difference between the two. And the difference is the difference between daylight and darkness. Intelligent regulation is approved by all good men. But regimentation means the paralysis of progress. t{.*

"If the shoe fits, put it on," has been a well respected

epigram for generations. But Tillie the Toiler says that

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT (Continued from Page 6) says this rationing business is nothing new to him; he's been practicing it all his life. But what confuses him is all this talk against "absenteeism." "Shol5" says Rastus, "dey don'count Sataday, do dey? Case dass de day we'alls goes t'town to see an' be seed of."

Have you noticed **:;;g

from their pictures we

see in the papers and magazines, none of the heroes of this

war look a bit like Tyrone Power or Robert Taylor? You don't suppose those movie makers in Hollywood have been giving us the wrong dope all this time about what heroes really look like? I've read and heard so much about the toughness of the U. S. Marines already in this war that if I were to come across a picture of a handsome Marine, I'd think it was phony. Yet, no doubt there ARE plenty of handsome Marines.

The world laughed t".-; hughing at the sugges"J tion of the War Production Board that for saving purposes the shoes be removed from horses when they are not workirg. And, strange as it may seem, it's a fact and not just a gag. That suggestion WAS made. And naturally, the retorts have not been courteous. That the author of the idea be sent to pasture with the rest of the mules, is a common one.

But even that is not as;"u."rin. one generally reported to have been made by a high official during the depths of the depression when everyone was trying to help the farmer, which was that the Government should provide needy farmers with "mare mules in foal," so that the farmer could work the mule and get the foal.

*** The gag goes the rounds of the recruit who proudly wrote his father that he had been promoted to pFC-pri-

March 15, 1943

vate First Class. His dad wrote back and said he had been demoted to PSC-Poor Starving Civilian.

*** And then there was the gang of shipyard workers who always did a lot of lively talking over their lunches during the lunch period. Someone asked one of them what they

found to talk so much about, and the fellow said: "Hell!

They ain't but three subjects men CAN talk about; WAR, WOMEN, and OVERTIME."

**{.

Well, like I been saying, March 15th is going to be a day that only the vulgar rich will ever be able to forget.

There is one. satisfaction for the average salary man which is that after that date he won't have to be at all careful where he hangs his pants; there won't be anything in them anybody would have unless it's his pocket knife-and the Government may get that. It was Ben Franklin who wisecracked that there is nothing certain in this world but death and taxes, and after the 15th of this here month there will be millions of folks in this country who won't be sure which they think is the worst of the two.

*** Up to now, folks who owed the Government income taxes, paid them-or else. It will be different this year.

My offhand guess is that there will be maybe ten million people who owe the Government a tax on their 1942 incomes who won't have a quarter to pay on them. Our

Treasury Department is mighty clever, and don't doubt it, but when they tackle the job of collecting income taxes from millions of people who never paid one in the past and have made no arrangements to pay one now they'd better have good Old Hercules around to help, because those notorious stables of Augeas that Old Herk cleaned up in the famous fable were just a nice, clean, easy job compared to this one. Beginning March 15th and for a long, long time thereafter, the words "I ain't got," are going to be our new national song and dance.

Nothing Serious A man driving through a country town, came upon a group of colored boys who were earnestly endeavoring to get a balky mule to move. The gentleman stopped and watched the scene with interest and amusement. The boys tried everything. They twisted the mule's nose and tail, they pulled at his bridle, and they got behind and shoved against his hind quarters with their shoulders.

Suddenly the mule seemed to awaken from his balky obstinacy, and lashed out mightily with a hind hoof that caught one of the colored boys smack in the forehead, and

sent him sprawling backwards on the ground, apparently knocked senseless. The gentleman, much alarmed at the force of the blow, jumped from his car and ran to where the others stood around the prostrate boy. He asked:

"Is he badly hurt?"

One of them answered, casuallY:

"Nossuh. He ain't hu't bad, Suh. He'll prob'ly walk tendah-footed fo' a few days, but dat mule'll be aw right in no time at all. Suh."

Whct scrys the scge? "They crlso serve, who only stand crnd wcit."

It seems to be the compulsory iob of the retail lumber deqler in this emergency to hqve to plcry thct bcckground role. He is one oI those who "also stcnd qnd wcit." He hcrs cr big iob checrd oI him, but is lorced to wcrit lor the dcy when he ccn get cr lot of lumber to do it with. And, in the mecrntime, he must find methods cnd mecns oI keeping his business qlive qnd going so thcrt it mcry be qn eflective mcchine when the time lor lcrger cctivities qrrive; qs <rrrive they must.

for further industry facilities and activities in research and along product development lines; also further activities in forest consen'ation; advancement of Tree Farms; and consideration of the position of timber properties under the present system of Federal taxation.

"Meanwhile important problems in connection with war product,ion, relations of the industry to various Federal agencies, and other problems arising out of the urgent national requirements of lumber and timber products during 1943, make it desirable that rve should have an opportunity to consider thoroughly all these matters and their effects upon the present and future position of our industries.

"Our National Office is anxious that these meetings be exclusively business meetings with no outside speakers and with the entire available time given to an orderly consideration of these industry problems which either were not satisfactorily concluded at the meetings last Novernber or have arisen since that time."

Interecting Jaunt Through Mexico Bob Cole, Cole Door & Sash Company, Los Angeles, and Mrs. Cole, returned on March I from a three weeks' visit to Mexico. Bob sent us this interesting account of their trip : We flew via Pan American plane down the beautiful and rugged west coast to Mazatlan, thence inland over milehigh peaks to Mexico City, having breakfast in Los Angeles and dinner the same evening in the Mexican capital.

Beside the usual "South of the Border" sightseeing thrills bullfights, market days, visits to the picturesque towns of Cuernavaca, Taxco, Xochimilco, Puebla, Cuautla, ancient pyramids, etc.,-nature provided a couple of additional performances in a three-and-one-half minute earthquake and the formation of a new active volcano near lJruapan.

I sn'ear the sixth floor of the Reforma Hotel in Mexico City swung around like a cocktail shaker during the full three-and-one-half minutes of its duration and the papers said it caused more damage than any similar occurrence in the last 12 years. A few days later reports came in of the volcanic eruption some two hundred miles south of the capital, so we paid it a visit, returning with some very interesting pictures.. The Tarascan Indians who inhabit that particular section r,r'ere busily piling sacrifices of chickens and eggs on the giant ant-hills, hoping the ants would carry the food down to appease the fire gods.

Later, while in the wild section of Aztec Mexico we had the very interesting privilege of visiting the work of the American Linguistic Union headed by Cameron Townsend. This institution sends workers among' tribes, of which there are 52 in Mexico with no rvritten language.

By living among them and learning the sounds of the language, they are performing a marvelous work, highly praised by the Mexican Government, of writing down the various tribal tongues.

A day was spent at island-dotted Lake Patzquaro, where every island has its own tribe of Indians; then another day at Lake Chapala, the entertainment spot of the Guadalajara populace.

Guadalajara was particularly interesting for its arts and crafts 6uch as pottery, glassware and lacquered articles.

Also noted for its well-groomed charros and tapatias, the Governor's ball brought out a regular "Hollywood premier" of all these tuxedoed and jewel;bedecked caballeros and .senoritas. The ball started at 11 P.M. and was still going strong when our plane left Guadalajara at nine the next morning.

Before leaving, I had an opportunity to visit a sawmill operated by oxen, look over a Mexican plywood plant( very much less efficient than our American factories), and had a chance to compare lumber and plywood sales conditions during the war period as between Mexico and the United States, with the owner of Mexico City's largest lumber yard.

The undeveloped Mexican resources such as mining, timber, tropical fruits, and farming, provide a great lure and Mexico has many American tourists who are there not only for the scenery but who are keeping their eyes open for future business opportunities.

AN HONEST QUAKER Eleanor Early tells a story in her book "An Island Patchwork" about an honest (?) Quaker, that is worth retelling. She says: "Quaker regard for the truth was often shaded by sagacity. Anxious about a vessel which was long overdue, Jacob Barker, a shipowner of Nantucket, called at the offEce

of a local insurance company, and frankly admitting his concern, applied for a policy on vessel and cargo. The agent asked for time in which to investigate, but on the day agreed on for a decision, no news-good or bad-had been received by the insurance company. That morning Honest Jacob stopped in on his way to the wharves.

"If thee has not made out that policy, thee needn't, for f have heard from my vessel."

"But, Friend Jacob !" exclaimed the chagrined agent, "the underwriters have accepted the risk and the policy is here."

He handed it to the old man.

The Quaker sighed. "A Friend's word is as good as his bond," he said, and counted out the gold for the premium.

"Yes, I have heard from her, Friend," he continued.

"She went to the bottom last month with all on board."

"He did?"

"Ffe certainly did."

"And still you're smiling?"

"And why not?"

"Then he must not have told you what part of the horse."

A NUT CRACKER Several men were traveling by train. One of them pulled out a lunch bag, produced a large hunk of fruit cake, and proceeded to eat it all up. Time passed. The fruit cake eater shows signs of great stomach pains. He groans and doubles up, straightens out, and doubles up again.

One of the others said to him:

JIMMY PUMBLEQUOD Here lies poor Jimmy Pumblequod, Ifave mercy on him, Gracious God, I know he would if he were God And you were Jimmy Pumblequod.

"'Smatter, Jim?" "That cake I ate," said the sufferer. "My wife made it full of nuts and forgot to shell them !"

"Lordy !" said the other. "And can you crack them by just bending that way?"

Conservation Ord er L-41 Amended Conservation Order L-41, the original lumber freeze order, was amended February 19, by revising a number of provisions and making some changes in verbiage and arrangement. No substantial changes are made in the former limitations on permissible building.

The amended order still permits, without rating or other preliminary requirement: new residential construction up to $200; new multiple residential and agricultural construction up to $1,000; industrial construction up to $5,000; all within the meaning of those terms and provisions.

Maintenance is permitted as before; so is repair-that is with no specific amount mentioned as a limitation. But now the two are defined jointly instead of separately as before. A new sentence in this definition plainly states: 1'No building operation or job may be part construction and part maintenance and repair . . . but if any construction is to be done the entire building operation or job is constrttction." Which clearly means if you are doing permitted new construction and repair on the same structure, you will be held accountable as if the entire amount involved rvas for new construc.tion.

There has been added that rvhich previously was only a matter of interpretation; a provision which excludes as a cost factor: (1) the value of used material, articles, chattels or fixtures which have been severed from the same or another structure or project and are to be used without change in of labor engaged in inownership, nor the cost or "'alue corporating the same; (2) the value of labor, not entailing financial outlay, of an owner or tenant and members of the owner's or tenant's immediate family residing r,r'ith him, on a structure or project owner or leased by him.

Your Red Cross For more than a score

of years, people in all walks of life have been making annual contributions to support the farflung work of the American Red Cross. The little Red Cross stickers in countless windorvs rvere visual evidence of the nationwide support of, and confidence in,

the Red Cross.

Each year during that

period hundreds of thousands have come in

contact with the Red Cross. They may have been disaster victims. Perhaps they were enrolled in Red Cross first aid classes or one of the other educational projects of the organization. Quite possibly they were among the many volunteer workers whose unselfish spirit of service represents the Red Cross cornerstone.

During 1942, however, more than 1,000,000 men and women made a new contact rvith the Red Cross. They were those who each contributed a portion of their blood to the Red Cross Blood Donor Service. Collected at the request of the Army and Navy, this blood is processed into plasma and serum album.in, and today it is being used on the world's battlefields, helping to give our wounded a much better chance at life. In 1943, 4,000,000 donors are needed.

It may safely be said that the Red Cross Blood Donor Service has opened the eyes of many to the real significance of the Red Cross. Another eye-opener, though not so well known, is the fact that in North Africa, in New Guinea

and the Solomons, and wherever else the need arises, surgical dressings made by Red Cross volunteer workers are being used to bind the wounds of those who are out there prepared to give their last full measure of devotion.

On the lighter side of the picture, the Red Cross has established some 150 servicemen's clubs, rest homes ancl recreation centers abroad where our soldiers and sailors, taking a respite from their duties, find everything they might desire for a good time: comfortable beds and showers, home cooked food, games and entertainment.

With them also, at home and abroad, in camp and hospital, are Red Cross representatives, men and women of training and experience, ready to advise and counsel and help unravel any of the many personal and family problems to which soldier and civilian alike are subject.

Despite all the work of the Red Cross on behalf of the servicemen, it continues its activities at home. Instruction

in first aid, home nursing and nutrition, assistance to families of servicemen, work in hospitals and in other fields of public welfare, disaster preparedness and relief, and a host of similar activities, keep the organization busier than it ever has been before.

All of which points to one fact: The Red Cross is your Red Cross. It is yours in a deep and personal sense. It is doing the things you yourself would do if you had the opportunity. Not only in one isolated case, but all along the line.

To do this costs money. This month (March) the Red Cross is raising its 1943 War Fund, the goal of which is $125,000,000. Every dollar you contribute will be spent as wisely as you would spend it. And you have the assurance that it will help save the lives of our boys, help maintain their trorale, alleviate suffering in many parts of the world, and build a stronger and lirmer civilian front.

Cash for Existing Homes Purchases Loans are available for purchase money to'be used in part for acquiring existing homes throughout Southern

California at the lowest financing costs in history, according to Wilson G. Bingham, Southern California district director, Federal Housing Administration.

"Purchase money is often necessary to assist a buyer in meeting the cash demands of the seller," Mr. Bingham said. "This may occur where a somewhat old or previously made mortgage has been paid dou'n considerably with the result that the cash requirement for the purchaser is too large. When this rather tight situation develops it is often possible to obtain cash relief through F.H.A.-insured loans up to 8A/o, or in some cases, up to X)/o of the F.H.A. appraised value of the subject property.

"Cash may also be desired for the purpose of making essential repairs on an existing home which is just being purchased. Costs of such repair items can often be added to the existing loan at the time it is taken over by the new owner.

"Lending institutions throughout Southern California are making F.H.A.-insured loans at the lowest general costs in history," Mr. Bingham concluded.

CONVALESCING C. G. (letr)' Corkran, veteran lumber salesman of Sacramento, who has been in a hospital for the past several months, is convalescing at home. His many friends wish

him a speedy recovery.

Lumber Requirements for 1943 Washington, March 6.-Lumber requirements for 1943 will be more difficult to meet than those of. 1942, the Commerce Department was told today, because demand is shifting from great volume of construction materials to specialty and quality items and to materials for containers, crating and shipping.

"Lumber is still critical," the department's lumber survey committee said in its report adding that estimated 1942 consumption was about 38,000,000,000 feet, nearly 10 per cent more than in 1941. Of the estimated 31,000,000,000 feet needed in 1943,35 per cent is expected to be used for boxing, crating and shipping.

The report said the manpolver deficiency of the lumber industry as a whole was estimated at 15.5 per cent on January l, "with the shortage substantially larger in many regions."

l1th Annual Reveille May 7 Announcement is made by Lewis A. Godard, general chairman of the 11th Annual Reveille of Central and North-

ern California lumbermen will be held at the Hotel Leamington, Oakland, on Friday, May 7.

The big annual get-together affair will have a patriotic objective, inasmuch as all proceeds over actual expenses will be donated to various war service organizations, Mr. Godard says, and also announces that the annual golf tournament will not be held this vear.

Totaf Housing Units Authoriz ed jor Arizona, California, Nevada A total of 173,80O war housing units have been authorized

by the Federal Government for "private and public" construction in California, Arizona, and Nevada, since June, 194O, it was revealed in a special report released to-

day by Eugene Weston, Jr., regional representative of the National Housing Agency.

Mr. Weston said that over 97,500 of these housing units, or more than 56 per cent, had been authorized for construction during the past twelve months.

Over 42 per cent, or 73,400 of the total construction authorized for the three states since the summer of I94O, has taken place in San Francisco Bay Area, he declared, and since March, 1942, more than 45,400 units, or more than 62 per cent of the San Francisco Bay Area construction, has been authorized.

"At the present time," he said, "there are under construction over 34,000 private and public housing accommodations in the Bay area, which are coming on the market daily."

He declarecl that in San Diego, at the present tirne, there are over 6O0O private and public dwelling units under construction, or soon to be started, which will complete the L7,W unit building program authorized there to date. "fn Arizona," he said, "of the 10,000 housing accommodations authorized since June, 1940, over 8,300 or 83 per cent have been authorized since March, 1942, which is indicative of the increasing war activity in the area."

Saginaw Shingles S. S. I.AWNENCE PTIIIJPS

He declared that conditions in many of the communities are being restudied constantly with the War Manpower Commission and the War Production Board because of changing war housing requirements.

Mr. 'Weston added that NHA recommendations for additional housing are based upon the WMC policy of making maximum use of local labor before certifying to the need for essential migration to areas of war activity. Due to the lack of building materials and construction labor, he pointed out, maximum use of existing structures must be made wherever possible.

\Vat Construction Cost in 1942 Washington.-The nation spent $12,145 million on construction for war purposes in 1942, the War Production Board has reported, and the building activity amounted to 97 per cent of the year's construction objective.

The emphasis on making "things that shoot" instead of new plant facilities showed marked results in cutting the monthly construction totals as the year ended.

Construction hit its peak volume in August, more than $1,406 million. December, the fourth successive month of decline, shor,r'ed a volume of $973,285,000, or a drop of 31 per cent from the year's high.

WITH THE SEABEES Byron G. Niel, son of D. G. Niel, manager of Niel's Lumber Service, Turlock, has enlisted rvith the Seabees and is in training at Camp Berry, Williamsburg, Virginia.

4}-Hour \7ork \(/eek Areas Are Defined San Francisco, Feb. 28.-Exact boundaries of Western labor areas by application of the President's 48-hour work week order were defined today by William K. Hopkins, regional director of the War Manpower Commission.

Portland, Oregon, as named in the order, includes the counties of Multnomah, Clackamas and Columbia in Oregon as well as Clark County in Washington, he said.

The Seattle area includes the Washington counties of King, Pierce, Thurston, Kitsap, and Snohomish.

The area of San I)iego, California, covers San Diego County.

Las Vegas, Nevada, is defined to cover Clark County.

Mr. Hopkins drelv attention to a provision of the order which places it in immediate effect for the lumbering and non-ferrous rnining industries. He also pointed out that the new regulations provide that {rom time to time he may designate additional areas'and activities for application of the 48-hour rule if such action will reduce labor shortages holding back the 'ivar effort.

Regulations issued by Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Manporver Commission to govern the application of the 48hour week called for by the President, will, with some exceptions, affect all employers of eight or more persons in 32 designated areas, rvhose production can be increased by a longer week or t'ho can maintain their production rvith fewer men.

Inquiries concerning application of the regulations should be directecl to the proper regional or area Manpower Director. Administration of the order is clelegated by the chairman to the Commission's regional and area directors.

It is made clear that the lengthened rveek order will not apply to farms or to persons employed by any state or anv of its political sub-divisions or instrumentalities, or to youth under the age of 16, or to persons who, because of other employment, household duties or physical disabilities, are not available for full-time lvork, or for business houses in which fer.t'er than eight persons are employed regularly.

The exclusion of establishments with fewer than eight persons, it is explained in an interpretative statement issued rvith the regulations, is based chiefly on the assumption that in smzLller establishments the extension of the work week u'ould not,result in the release of workers.

The regulations have been sent to regional and area directors and to U. S. Employment Service offices, together rn'ith instructions for carrying out terms of the President's order.

In the regulations, it is stated that from time to time regional manpower directors may designate additional areas and activities if they find such action rvill reduce labor

shortages which are holding back the war effort.

Regional and area directors are authorized to consider a minimum work week of less than 48 hours when a full 48-hour week would neither increase production, release workers for other employment, nor otherwise further the war effort.

Mr. McNutt explains in the regulations, that the President's order "shall be so construed and applied as best to efiectuate its fundamental purpose which is to aid in meeting the manpower requirements of our armed forces and our expanding production program by a fuller utilization of our available manpower.

"Effectuation of this purpose requires that in situations of labor shortages employers do not hire new workers when their manpower needs can be effectively met by a fuller utilization of their current labor force, and that workers who can be released by an extension of the work week are released under circumstances which will permit and facilitate their effective utilization elsewhere in the war effort.t'

The regulations provide that if the labor requirements of an employer are such that the extetrsion of the work week will not permit the release of any workers but would result rather in their continued full utilization in their present employment or their transfer to other employment under his direction, the 4S-hour rveek should be put into effect at once.

Whenever the regional or area manpower director, or the designated representative of either, determines that released workers can be placed promptly in suitable employment, their employer will be notified. The employer should then proceed promptly to shift to the longer week.

If the representative of the War Manpower Commission has not determined and notified the employer, however, that his released rvorkers can be placed without delay, the work week will not be extended before April 1, 1943' Before that the date the employer will be expected to submit to the representative of the Commission a statement as to how many workers would be released and their occupational classification, together with a proposed schedule for the timing of their releases' In such cases, the regional or area Manpower Director, or designated representative, will authorize lhe schedule for the extension of the work rveek to the 48-hour rvork week and for the release of the workers in accordance with the needs of the labor market. The employer then will extend his work week in accordance with such schedule.

An employer in any designated area or activity who is not in compliance r.vith the regulations shall not hire any workers.

4-H Wood Construction Proiect Gets Top Honors A simple farm structure-a liquid manure tank-helps

release nitrogen from farm use to war use' Donald Tagg

and Robert Tugg, members of the Clatsop Plains Dairy Club, constructed the model liquid manure tank, on designs given them by the Department of Agricultural Engineering, Oregon State College, and with it rvon the State Dairy Production award, third place in the National contest at Chicago, and $25.00 awarded by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, sponsors of the project.

"We are going to prove to you that handling manure by the liquid method is the most profitable wa/," said Robert Tagg, in their presentation at Chicago. "The method has been used in European countries, particularly Switzerland, for many years. It was brought to Oregon by Swiss dairymen, and there are now at least 800 tanks in operation in this State."

Donald Tagg carried on the explanation with: "Wherever it is profitable to use commercial fertilizer, all fertilizer produced on the farm has a very definite value. The liquid method of handling barnyard manure prevents waste of plant food through leaching or loss of nitrogen through fermentation or heating."

The model built by Robert and Donald Tagg is on a scale of 1 inch to I foot, and is built for a herd of 25 cows.

The bottom is constructed ol 2xl2's, laid crossn'ise on 4x6 stringers, and covered lengthwise rvith T&G flooring.

Sides are 2x4's, laid flat and nailed with 16 penny nails;

ends are 2x6's laid flat. This makes a solid and very strong wall.

The approximate cost for a tank lor 25 cows is $200.00, or $8.00 per cow, rvhile the manure saved from one co'iv in one year is worth $33.00 The Oregon State College Extension Service estimates that the liquid tank method will save from $5,000 to $8,000 in twenty years. Donald and Robert Tagg did a very fine job of demonstrating a practical farm structure, which can be built either on the farm or at the retail lumber dealer's yard.

Controlled Materials Plan to be Simphfied Further San Francisco, Feb. 26.-Another step in the series of simplifications of Controlled Materials Plan procedures u'as revealed today when the War Production Board announced that a forthcoming regulation, C.M.P. Regulation No. 7, would provide a single standard form of certification which may be placed on any delivery order, in lieu of one or more of the other forms no\,\r required for use in varying circumstances by C.M.P. Regulations 3, 4, and 5.

The earlier forms, hou'ever, may still be used in the appropriate circumstances if a controlled materials purchaser so chooses.

C.M.P. Regulation No. 7, to be issued within a few days, will provide that any delivery order under the Controlled Materials Plan may be validated by endorsing it, or accompanying the order with a certificate, in substantially the following form, signed manually or with a facsimile signature as provided in priorities regulation

No. 7.

"The undersigned purchaser certifies, subject to the penalties of section 35 (A) of the United States Criminal Code, to the seller and to the War Production Board, that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the undersigned is authorized under applicable War Production Board Regulations or orders to place this delivery order, to receive the item (S) ordered for the purpose for which ordered, and to use any preference rating or allotment number or symbol which the undersigned has placed on this order."

An applicable C.M.P. regulation requires that an allotment number or symbol, preference rating or other identification be included in a certification, it must be placed on the delivery order if the form above is used.

Use of this standard form by those who wish to take advantage of it will obviate the necessity, rvhich will otheru'ise arise in many cases, of placing several different certifications on a single order.

F. E. STITZER for F. E. Stitzer, owner of the SouthFuneral services western Lumber & Building Materials Co., Los Angeles, were held at the Armstrong Family Mortuary, on February 18. Interment followed in Valhalla Cemetery. He was 74 years of age.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Hulda Stitzer; a brother, Edgar Stitzer of New York City, and a sister, Mrs. Emily Rubrecht of Denver.

MATCHES TO BE SHORTENED Lighting of pipes, cigars, and cigarettes will not be so leisurely in the future.

A War Production Board order issued calls for the snipping of from one-sixteenth to one-quarter inch off matches. By this seeminglv trivial saving, about 380 carloads of lumber will be made available for other use, according to an estimate of the Chemicals Division of W.P.B.

Buyer Cannot Pay Commission Which \fould Make Price Top Ceiling A provision formalizing well-established interpretations

prohibiting service commissions which result in a purchase price for lumber higher than the maximum prices established for the lumber February 20 was incorporated in all lumber price regulations of the Office of Price Administration.

The provision was contained in Supplementary Order No. 37 which states that "it is unlawful for any person to charge, receive, or pay a commission for the service of procuring, buying, selling or locating lumber, or for any related service (such as 'expediting') which does not involve actual physical handling of lumber, if the commission plus the purchase price results in a total payment by the buyer of lumber which is higher than the maximum price of the lumber."

For purposes of this regulation a commission is any service charge or payment which is figured directly or indirectly on the basis of the quantity, price or value of the lumber in connection with which the service is performed.

The provision is incorporated in the following regulations: No. 19, Southern Pine Lumber; No. 26, Douglas Fir Lumber; No. 94, Western Pine Lumber; No. 97, Southern Pine Lumber; No. 109, Aircraft Spruce ; No. 146, Appalachian Hardwood Lumber; No. 155, Central Hardwood Lumber; No. 215, Distribution Yard Sales of Softwood; No. 219, Northeastern Softwood Lumber; No. 222, Northern Softwood Lumber; No. 223, Northern Hardwood Lumber; No. 253, Redwood Lumber & Millwork; No. 281, Navy Oak Ship Stock; No. 290, Sitka Spruce Lumber.

The order became effective February 23.

MORE CONSTRUCTTON PROJECTS HALTED San Francisco, Feb. 25.-Construction projects having a total cost of $4,161,181 were stopped during the week ended February 19, the War Production Board announced today.

The projects !\'ere halted through the revocation of preference ratings in conformance with the policy of curtailing

construction not directly related to the war effort. Some of the projects were stopped voluntarily by the programming agencies while others were ordered stopped by the Facility Review Committee.

Last week's figure brings to $1,304,015,747 the total cost of all projects which have been halted since October 23, 1942, when the Facility Review Committee was established

to examine the relationship of construction work to the war effort.

K"rcr/ OAIT FLOOBING FOA B'\YERY tr.LOOA TN THE HOUSE OLID ON NE|[/ Lifting a page from military tactics and attacking vulnerable fronts, more and more lumber dealers are pointing their sales drives at existing homes. And it pays. For, it's a rare case when a home built a few yeais ago isn't ready now for some reconditioning to preserve it, or remodeling to bring it in line with present day requirements.

As a leader for these effective sales drives, Royal Oak Flooring has all the answers. The beauty and serviceability of Royal

ROYAL OAK FLOORING is produced by the Fordyce Lumber Company and the Crossett Lumber Company in all sizes and grades of standard strip; also Oak Plank in "V" and flush joints. It may be shipped with other Fordyce and Crossett products including Beech, Pecan and Pine flooring and Oak and Gum trim and mouldings.

Oak Floors are well established. There's a Royal size and grade for every room in the house. And when you quote the price of a Royal Oak Floor,laid and finished, property owners usually are both amazed and delighted to learn they can have it at a cost that doesn't stretch their wartime budgets.
