How Lumber Looks

W.

815 LocvarodL

An increase of $1.75 per 1,000 board feet in producers' ceiling prices of some speci'es of softwood lumber produced in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and Western white spruce imported from Canada, has been announced by the Office of Price Administration to be effective March t,1946.

Prices to users of this lumber will not be afiected as resellers are required to absorb the increase.

In addition to western white spruce, items of lumber affected include Northern white pine and white cedar, Norway pine, jack pine, Eastern spruce, aspen and mixed northern softwood lumber and lath.

This action is in line with an increase recently granted to producers of Northern hemlock, completes the ceiling increases required by law and makes the ceiling prices of Northern softwood lumber and lath-which were not included in an earlier increase-generally fair and equitable.

Specific ceilings for "shop common" grade bodrds are no longer in the regulation. The volume of lumber cut to "shop common" specifications is negligible and ceilings for this grade were sometimes confused with ceilings for lower grades of lumber.

(Amendment No. 5 to Second Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 222-Northern Softwood Lumber; effective March 1, 1946.)

Buys Redwood Timber Tract

Henry Nash, owner of the H. & I. Nash Logging Co., Eugene, Ore., has purchased 200 acres of redwood timber in the Navarro-Comptche section of Mendocino County, near Willits.

The U. S. Conciliation Service called a meeting of the Redwood operators and the union on February 25. At this meeting the union renewed its demand for union shop which was rejected by the mill operators. This is the only meeting that has been held since the strike started January 14. The union is also asking for a ZZI cents an hour pay increase. The operators offered alSl cents an hour increase, same as was accepted by the Fir workers in the Northwest, but the union turned it down.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended February 23, 106 mills reporting,'gave orders as 43,850,000 feet, shipments 45,135,000 feet, and production 38,013,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 283,253,000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended Febtuary 23,77 units (111 mills) reporting, gave orders as 12,401,000 feet, shipments 14,072900 feet, and production 14,227,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 77,215,000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended March 2, 138 mills reporting, gave orders as 74,000,000 feet, shipments 84,500,000 feet, and production 79,000.000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 561,000,000 feet.

OPA Announces Price Adiustments lfor Douglas

Fir, Western Hemlock and True Fir Lumber

. Readjustments to be made in mill ceiling prices for Douglas fir, Western Hemlock and true fir lumber have been announced by the Office of Price Administration.

The adjustments, which will increase ceilings on some items and reduce them on others, will result in an average increase of approximately $1.10 per 10@ board feet or 3 percent over present average realizations.

The adjustment, issued on March 1, effective March 6, 1946, will bring the Douglas fir mill ceilings up to an approximate average realization of $40 per 10o0 board feet.

This action, designed primarily to stimulate production of lumber items urgently needed for postwar residential construction, does the following things:

(1) Increase's prices for basic grades of lumber used in residential constguction, other than common boards, from $2 to $10 per 10@ board feet.

(2) Eliminates premiums for special grade and grain specifications which were seldom charged before the war but which have been charged considerably during the war. The premiums eliminated range from $1 to $6 per 1000 board feet and largely offset the price increases granted in the basic construction grades.

(3) Lowers the ceilings on some items not used in construction which are cut from the same part of the log as certain construction items such as flooring.

(4) Makes other changes in prices designed to bring them in proper relationship to peacetime demand.

(5) Scales down the ceilings for ofistandard fractional widths and thicknesses. fn tables 2, 3,4, and 11, the footnotes pricing odd or fractional widths and thicknesses now require that footage shall be computed on the nominal fractional rough size.

In explaining the action, OPA pointed out that ,before the war clear grades of Douglas fir were normally cut into flooring, ceiling and siding which are used extensively in the construction of homes. During the war, however, there was vital need to cut clear grades of Douglas fir into ship decking, ponton lumber, and finish and thick clears. Price ceilings have, accordingly, made the cutting of wartime items more profitable than the less urgently needed home

construction items.

The end of the war reversed the demand for Douglas fir items. The announced increase in the ceilings of basic grades of Douglas fir is expected to stimulate production of construction fir items.

The price changes were determined after a series of consultations with representatives of the Douglas fir industry.

The changes are:

Dimension

An increase of $3.50 per 1000 board feet on all grades No. 3 and higher. Eliminates stress and grain premiums of $1 to $6 per 100O board feet.

Plank and Small Timbers

An increase of $2.50 per 1000 board feet on all items. Eliminates stress and grain premiums of $2 to $6 per l00O board feet.

Timbers

An increase of $2 per 1000 board feet on all items. Eliminates stress and grain premiums of $2 to $6 per 1000 board feet.

fn dimension, plank and small timbers and timbers, hemlock is now priced $2 under fir.

Tcrlks To Producers' Council

Arthur A. Hood, director of dealer relations of the JohnsManville Sales Corporation, gave a talk entitled "A Challenge To The Construction Industry" before the Northern California Chapter of the Producers' Council in the palace Hotel, San Francisco, March 4.

Meet in San Francisco

The board of directors of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California held a meeting at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on Wednesday, February 27.

Bernard B. Barber's resignation, effective March 31, as executive vice president was accepted by the board, and at the urgent request of the directors Mr. Barber, who is entering private business, accepted the office of assistant to the president.

Robert J. Wright was elected to succeed Mr. Barber as executive vice president, and C. D. Hart was elected secretary.

Mr. Wright was with the association for some time before entering the service. He was recently released from the Navy as a Lieutenant Commander after three and a half years' service.

Paul M. P. Merner, Merner Lumber Co., Palo Alto, was made a director-at-large.

Following a round table discussion of the Office of Price Administration, the board adopted a resolution favoring discontinuance of the OPA, but agreeing to a six months' extension of the life of that organization if Congress provides for its complete reorganization.

A copy of the resolution was ordered sent to President tamar Forrest of the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, who had asked all the regional associations for their opinions on this subject.

Rebuilding Veneer Plcrnt

The California Veneer Co. is rebuilding its veneer plant which was destroyed by fire last December. It is located about seven miles north of Klamath, Calif. A new office building was erected soon after the fire. The log pond has a capacity of four million feet and is being filled with Douglas fir logs.

They will manufacture green veneer at first, then add an extension to the main building, and install dry kiln facilities. The company hopes to be able to start operating about April 1. E. W. Borcherding is resident partner, which he owns with O. D. Borcherding. Axel Lund, general plant superintendent, has charge of construction of the new plant, assisted by Noble Crain, operating superintendent. When operations start, the company will have about 50 employes.

CRESTVIEW 52424 BEVERLY Hl[LS, CALIF.

In Westwood Village an old man sells papers on a corner. With every sale he hands out a gift, a stick of gum or a package of rnatches. On special days he gives away even more. Someone asked him how he could afiord it. He grinned, and said he made up for his losses on week days by not working Sundays. Like another man f knew long ago who did things like that, he always replied, when asked what the idea was, that he *ir w;rOrl* for a big funiral.

No change in two weeks in the lumber situation. It is just as scarce as it was then, and more scarce than ever before. The entire Redwood manufacturing industry in Northern California has been closed for weeks by a strike, and there is no settlement in sight. Thig includes some of the biggest mills in the country. So the ,,no lumber" sign continues everywhere.

The Redwood strike is over several matters of dispute, but the fundamental one is the d*emand for a closed shop.

According to the newspaper reports out of Washington, a general drive is now started for a 30-hour week. At 40hour pay, of course. That would mssn-unlsss all laws including that of gravity have been repealed-reduced production, increased costs. And both on a very large scale. The wise talk that we must all go back to work to save ourselves from our grave domestic situation, gets nowhere. And the drift toward the rapids increases its speed.

Never in civilized history has weird and unprovable economics been so popular with so many people. The average ten-year-old boy can easily understand, when told the facts, that only one thing can save this country with its tons of money and its empty shelves, and that is the greatest possible production. Yet millions of emphatic grown-ups seem to pass up that grand truth completely. They want everything regulated, everything regimented, production down, wages and costs up-yet they want prosperity. And if it can't be had that way, then the Government must take over and arrange it'

Readers Digest reprints from the New York Sun an editorial by H. I. Phillips entitled-"No Opportunity." It so well emphasizes what I have tried so often to say in this column in a general way, that I shall here reprint it, and am sure our readers will understand and appreciate the splendid American logic offered. Here it is:

"The broadcast about the exploitations of the workers in America and the horrors of life without Government

help, are thrown for a loss by the story of Bill O,Dwyer, elected last November the head of the biggest city in the world" (Mayor of New York City).

"A little over thirty years ago the young man who was to become the Mayor of New York got off a boat from Ireland with $23 in his pocket, no friends, no influence, and no blueprints from the cradle to the grave. The $23 would have financed some letters to Congress and some denunciations of the American economic system, and left something for investment in a campstool for listening in comfort to park agitators, BUT HE WENT TO WORK rNsrEAD'

"He took a job in a grocery store at $9 a week without denouncing the proprietor, grabbing a 'This Store Unfair' banner, or shouting 'This is exploitation !' The work was tough and the hours no bargain, but he took no time out to argue about his future security while uncrating the cabbages. Bill later took a job as a deckhand on a freighter, which will ever stand as proof that he was not mainly determined to get a softer life with more time for outdoor siorts.

*,f*

"Then he became a stoker on a Hudson River boat, when he could have had more fun writing letters to the newspapers beginning: 'It seems to me that under our complex social and economic system ' Next he became a plasterer, which was like giving up weight lifting for something with better backaches. But his legs and feet were not breaking down fast enough, so he joined the police force. If Bill had been the type who stays in a rut and concentrates on demands that somebody make his future secure, he would still be pitying himself. But instead he studied law at Fordham nights and became a lawyer. :f:f*

"Ffe was the master of his soul and the desk sergeant of his destiny. At no time were there any squawks from him about there not being any more frontiers. The question is not whether he will make a good mayor but what will he study for next, regardless of the hours, work, or shortage of recreation opportunities."

*'t*

Again proving what all wise men know, that from the homes of the humble and the lowly in this land have come almost the total supply of genius and ability that have made this great land great. And if there had been any restriction on their efforts with regard to hours, pay, or anything else -they would never have been heard of. If O'Dwyer had been hedged in by any such restrictions, HE would never.

have been heard of. The saddest realities about our present social system are the sound fears that the "mute, inglorious Miltons" of the future will remain mute and inglorious, and the O'Dwyers, the Fords, the Carnegies, the Edisons, the Franklins, and the Lincolns, will never lift their gifted heads above the common herd.

Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association, recently made a talk to the Rotary Club of San Francisco on the subject: "Is our free competitive enterprise system in danger?" He replied in general that it unquestionably IS. He said two fundamental troubles are, first, that economic power (the control of money and credit) has passed to the government; second, the federal debt will soon be 30O billion dollars, constituting a 77o/o first mortgage upon all the accumulated savings of all our people in the 450 years since the white man came to America'

He said that this nation suffers from fifteen separate and distinct economic and social diseases that together threaten our very governmental life, and they are: First, 7 out of 10 citizens do not know what you mean when you say "free enterprise." .Second, a majority of our citizens have been "broken to the bit" (can't remember back to when we had actual free enterprise), and 56 per cent now look to the government to provide them with jobs. Third, we have taken such a heavy dose of the anaesthetic of regulation that we are too weak and too addicted to the drug habit to resist it. The level road of regulation-in spite of the fact that it can lead us only to an equality of destitutionhas more appeal than the uphill and rocky road of self-reliance'

Fourth, the astognding indifference of the public to government waste. Fifth, the astounding number of business men who do NOT warit unrestricted competition in THEIR business, and the equally astounding number who DO want government help in the shape of loans, protection, or subsidies for their business. Sixth, the courts have been packed. Seventh, servility of Congress to minority pressure groups. Eighth, growth of group consciousness and class hatred. Ninth, astounding high percentage of citizens who regard government only as a "cow to be milked." Tenth,

business is not only shackled by controls but government has become an unfair partner and an increasingly oppressive competitor.

Eleventfi, control of production has passed from tJre hands of the manufacturers to the union leaders. Twelfth, the great middle class of Arnericans, the balance wheel of our economy in all these years, is being washed out. Thirteenth, taxes have become the controlling device of economic !lanning, and are obviously being used to implement the theory of compensatory spending. Fourteenth, big business has grown larger and is the only business that can. Under the present tax structure, small business is stymied. Fifteenth, (last and most important) necessity for' "managing the debt" in such a manner that the millions of citizens who have been spld the beautiful dream that they do not have to make any sacrifices to pay this debt ($2,143 per person) will not find out while "we" are in office that a bond of the United States government given for debt is IN REALITY a promise that its citizens will pay the debt with WORK YET TO BE DONE by said citizens.

And Mr. Smith makes ttris conclusion: "The pattern is fixed. Crisis will continue to be manufactured upon crisis as the housing crisis is now, as the prelude to more and more economic control. Freedom of enterprise is based upon freedom of the individual. Freedom of the individual is based upon his willingness to act as a free man. America has now more individuals willing to be wards of the government for a fancied security, than it has citizens willing to stand up and slug'it out for themselves. As a consequence, business will not be free again in our time. The hopes of wishful thinkers are destined to be shattered on the reefs of political expediency."

*:F*',

That ended Mr. Smith's courageous remarks. Personally, I don't think he has exaggerated any part of it. But the late George M. Cohan said that you must "Always leave them laughing when you say goodby," so here's one to tell around. A man sitting in a movie watching a picture was amazed when a man came in leading a black bear and took the two seats next to him. He said to the man"\ilhat's the idea of bringing a bear into a theatre?" And the. man with the bear replied: "I thought he ought to see this movie-he enjoyed the book so much."

The building of America is an epic of courage, enterprise, imagination and leadership. Just as Christopher Columbus sought new horizons and led the way to undreamed-of comforts, so industrial leaders today are pioneering new materials and new methods that will bring better living to all America.

U.S.G has long been the leader in developing better, safer building materials. New products are constantly coming from the U.S.G laboratory. Quality is guarded at every step of manufacture by a rigid system of control. And, as improvements are made in existing products, they are passed along to you and your customers.

So, choose the leader depend on U.S.G for quality.

\(/estern Pine Annual Meeting

At annual meetings of the Western Pine Association held in Portland on February 2l and22 a strong note of confidence in the industry's future was sounded by S. V' Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager. He stated that with its enormous war job finished the Western Pine industry is entering the peace era on solid footing. During the war years the pine mills of 12 western states produced up to six billion board feet annually. Production now appears likely to level ofi at about five billion feet a year, which thb industry is confident of being able to maintain for many years.

Mr. Fullaway pointed out that operations in the pine region are changing over more and more to a basis of long range sustained management under which crops of trees are grown for future use during useful harvest of the mature timber of today.

"Recognition of the real possibilities of industrial forestry have made stumpage and forest land an asset," he said.

Aog.J. Stange, of the Mt. Emily Lumber Company, La Grande, Ore., was reelected president of the pine association, a cooperative group of some 170 pine operations in the west.

A. J. Glassow, manager of the Brooks-Scanlon mill at Bend, Ore., was elected vice president to succeed R. A. Colgan, Jr., of Chico, Calif., who recently became manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in Washington, D. C.

Other officers f.or 1946, all reelected, are Homer B. Jamison, Byles-Jamison Lumber Co., Fresno, Calif., vice president; A. C. Lighthall, Oregon Lumber Co. of Baker, treasurer; and Mr. Fullaway, secretary-manager.

The following committee chairmen were named: H. F. Root, Bonner, Mont., statistical committee; R. R. Veldman, Libby, Mont., traffic; J. F. Daggett, Prineville, Ore., forest conservation; W. G. Kahman, San Francisco, grading; H. R. Dixon, Spokane, research; W. S. Kennon, Standard, Calif., promotion.

C. L. Billings, manager of Potlatch Forests, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho, and J. P. Hennessey, McCloud River Lumber Co., McCloud, Calif., were elected directors-atJarge. Other directors are Swift Berry, Camino, Calif.; J. M. Brown, Spokane; J. F. Coleman, Kinzua, Ore.; C. L. Isted, Portland;

and R. R. Macartney and A. J. Voye, Klamath Falls, Ore.

The first day was devoted to meetings of the committees. Significant was action taken by the Western Pine forestry committee which charted plans for bringing all Western Pine lands into fullest possible production in order to assure a plentiful supply of lumber to meet the Nation's future needs.

Stuart Moir, chief forester, stated that substantial progress is being made each year in the way of improved forest protection to reduce the losses from fire, insects and disease, as well as the application of more advanced cutting practices and plans of management.

"There is no reason why we should not have an ample supply ol timber for future harvests if the unified effort of the industry to attain the goal of continued forest productivity is sustained," Mr. Moir said.

He said further, "Western Pine lumbermen have drafted a (Continued on Page 16)

program to 'Keep the Timber Growing.' Forest practice rules have been adopted ,for each state in the region as a guide to both management and loggers. The conscious application of these rules in the woods will help to grow the raw material required to sustain the mills dependent upon the forest."

A staff of four district forest engineers under the direction of the chief forester serve as consultants to the industry in helping to solve operating and forestry problems.

Highlight of the Western Pine promotion committee report was the information that there exists a great surge of interest in the Western Pines from inquirers seeking information that would be helpful in future homebuilding as indicated by a veritable avalanche of requests for copies of the various booklets put out by the Association. These inquiries show a strong continuing interest in knotty pine paneling.

On the evening of February 21 George T. Gerlinger, well known Portland and Willamette Valley lumberman who recently concluded two years as president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, was guest of honor at an informal dinner at the lJniversity Club. The dinner was sponsored by Western Pine board of directors from the twelve Western States who were in Portland for the annual meeting. Among the 50 guests were two past presidents of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and five past presidents of the Western Pine Association as well as President AuS.J. Stange of La Grande who served as toastmaster. fntroductory remarks preceding Mr. Gerlinger's talk were made by C. L. Billings of Lewistcin, Idaho.

Temporary Increase on Manufacturers' Ceiling Prices of Plaster Lath

Ceilings for plaster lath, critically needed for postwar residential construction in some areas, will be temporarily increased $4 per 1,000 pieces on February 26,1946. The ceiling for No. 1 Grade will then be $9; the ceiling for No. 2 Grade, $8.

The price increase was allowed on recommendation of the Civilian Production Administration to encourage use of Douglas fir and hemlock slabs in plaster lath.

The new ceiling price, granted at the manufacturers' level, will expire automatically lN days from the efiective date.

Persons who buy this lath at retail will pay from $4.25 to $4.60 per thousand pieces more than they have been paying. To prevent unduly high prices at retail and unwarranted increases in distributors' margins, OPA has eliminated a "handling charge" of 6O cents per thousand pieces formerly allowed as part of retail margins. Forty cents of this handling charge is being eliminated from wholesalers' margins. Even with this change, wholesalers will realize the same dollar-and-cent margin as previously. Retailers will have a slightly larger profit than they have had hitherto.

(Amendment No. 21 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 26-Douglas Fir and Other West Coast Lumber j effective February 26, 1946.)

Springrtime

When last I faced the wind upon this hill, And looked across the valley, white and stiil, I marked no sign of life on bush or tree, Lost in their thoughts, they waited silently. But now the lovely miracle of Spring' Pours throbbing beauty into everything; This is no time for bitterness or griefThe hand of God has touched each blade and leaf. Surely the One that glorifies this hourThe One ttrat brings the barren branch to flower, Will leave no reassuring work untold, Nor let a child sleep lonely in the cold.

The Generous Scotchman

In a small English town during the days the American army was there in force, a couple of M.P.'s, strolling along in the evening, heard sounds of a terrific battle in a pub, and rushing in found a group of allied soldiers mixing it up into a fisty brawl. The M.P.'s finatty quelled the small riot, and found that there were three British Tommies, three G.I.'s, and a Scotchman that were doing the fighting. So they asked one of the British Tommies what it was all about, and he said:

"We was orl friendly an' 'avin' dinner together as nice as you please. Good food, good ale, everything top 'ole. Then, when we gets kind of full like, the big Scotty here calls for the check."

At this the big Scotchman began to splutter and tried to break away and get at one of the Americ'an G.I.'s, with eyes flashing and fists doubled up. He said:

"They dinna tell ya thot this domn Yank is a ventriloquist."

Grect Greciqn Rulers

The names of the Periclean Age are high. There is a higher one yet, that of Pericles. Statesman, orator, philosopher, soldier, artist, poet, lover, Pericles was so great that, like Zeus, he was called "The Olympian." If to him Egeria came, would it not, a poet somewhere asked, be uncivil to depict her as less than he? It would be not only uncivil, but untrue.

'Themistocles had earlier said: "You see that boy of mine? Though but fivd, he governs the universe. Yes, for he rules his mother, his mother rules me, I rule Athens, and Athens rules the world."

After Themistocles it was Pericles turn to govern and be ruled. His sovereign was Aspasia.-Edgar Saltus.

Poor Visibility

Little Mose had been to Sunday School for the first time, and when he got home his mother asked him a few questions to discover how he had been impressed by the Bible stories he had heard.

"Whut wuz de Bible story de preachah done tole all you chilluns erbout?" she asked him.

"Hit wuz bout a fight whut dem chilluns ob Isrel had wid 4 whole big ahmy o' joints," little Mose said.

"Dass fine, lil man," said his mother, proudly. "An who wuz hit whut killed dat big Go-liath?"

Little Mose thought deeply. "Ah dunno, mama," he said, sort of apologetically. "Ah wuz'in de back seat an couldn't see good."

Remember

During ihe last year you have seen many cars bearing this sign on the windshield: "Warning-Anyone changing tires on this car is NOT the owner. Call police." It worked fine and protected many cars against tire thieves. But now and then some owner got a flat and forgot to take down the sign, and got into trouble.

You will know that aviation has really arrived when you see a two-passenger airplane go sailing by over the tree tops with seven or eight school kids clinging to the seats.

The Priceless Ingredient

Professor Albert Einstein, being interviewed by newspaper men concerning his idea of success in life, offered the following formula: "If a is success in life, I should say that the formula is a equals x plus y plus z, x being work and y being play."

A reporter asked, naturally: "And what then is z?"

Einstein said: "z means keeping your mouth shut."

\Tholesale Mark-Up Order lssued

Supplementary Order 150 became effective March 8,1946. The mark-ups provided for in the regulation for direct-mill shipments arc 5/o for wholesalers and 3/o f.or commission men, based upon the f.o.b. mill prices established under the order.

Supplementary Order 150 requires all persons, other than 215 Distributing Yards, desiring to operate- as direct-mill distributors to apply tb the Lumber Branch of the Office of Price Administration, Washington, D. C., for registration numbers. This registration number must be received before applicant charges or receives the mark-up. This application must contain all information relative to'the applicants connection with any sawmill, concentration yards or other lum er producers which may have any bearing on the question of "control relationship" as described in the order.

Even though a direct-mill distributor is registered, he is not permitted to add the mark-up in the following cases: See Subparagraph (c) (5).

1. The mark-up may not be charged unless the mill or concentration yard in which the lumber originates makes the written statement on the invoice "This mill has no controlled relationship with any direct mill distributor."

2. The mark-up may not be charged on lumber sold with the direct retail sale addition to the basic f. o. b. maximum prices in the regulation.

3. The mark-up may not be charged on sales less than 5M'FM when shipped by truck or water, and may not be charged on any sale of less than carload quantity when shipped by rail except pool car shipments for resale. The mark-up is prohibited on pool car shipments except where the direct-mill distributors customer is buying for resale.

4. The mark-up may not be charged on lumber originating at a mill or concentration yard which has a "control relationship" with any direct-mill distributor, regardless of whether the direct-mill distributor selling such lumber is wholly independent from the mill or concentration yard at which the lumber originates.

"Control relationship" is described in the Order, and stated briefly, includes the following:

1. Any financial interest, direct or indirect, between a distributor and a producer other than a loan at ordinary rate of interest.

2. A family relationship by blood or marriage between a producer and a direct-mill distributor involving an interest acquired on or after January I,1942.

3. Past employer-employee relationship terminated after December 31,1945.

If a mill or concentration yar{ is a corporation, a directmill distributor may own l0/o or less of its total outstanding stock issue without being regarded as in "control relationship" with it. However, the mill 6r concentration yard owning any of the total outstanding stock of a corporate direct-mill distributor is in, "control relationship" with it.

The mark-up is denied where a control relationship exists.

Mills and concentration yards are required by this Order to make a written statement. on all invoices to the effect that they may have "control relationship" with a dire,ct-mill distributor. If a mill falsely states that it has no "control relationship" with a direct-mill distributor the maximum price at which the lumber covered by the invoice on which the false statement appears, is 5/o less than the f.o.b. mill price set forth in the price tables.

A direct-mill distributor must indicate on his invoice that the sale is a direct-mill sale and must show his name and registration number.

It is understood that Registration Numbers issued in connection with the Southern Pine regulation (2nd RMPR 19) cannot be used in connection with the mark-up of any of the species covered by this order.

OPA lssues Revised Basig for Distribution

Yards' Retail Ceiling o[ Hardwood Flooring

Effective March 2, 1946, milt ceiling levels in effect on December I, 1945, l0 per cent lower than current ceilings, must be used by retail distribution yards as a basis for computing prices on all retail sales of oak and pecan flooring and for computing prices on retail sales of hardwood flooring of miscellaneous species produced in the Southern, South Central, and Appalachian hardwood regions, the Office of Price Administration has announced.

Wholesale distribution yards and wholesale type of sales by retail yards may continue to compute their ceilings on sales of the items affected by this action on the basis of the current ceiling prices provided in the regulation.

As part of the action, retailers in the Southern area were authorized to increase the percentage portion of their markups on retail sales of oak, pecan and miscellaneous hardwood flooring from 25 per cent to 30 per cent. This mark-up will reduce the absorption required of Southern retailers.

Absorption by retailers of the higher mill-costs recently granted is ln line with OPA's estalished policy of preventing price increases from causing increases at later levels of production or distribution, wherever absorption is possible.

Ncw Portable Saw for Pulpwood And \7ood Lot Cuttins

New Booklet--"The First Business In America"

fn a recent booklet published by American Forest Products Industries, fnc., the dramatic story of our forest resource is briefly and pointedly told.

The booklet, "The First Business in America," relates in sketches and short, pithy paragraphs the story of wood from the forests to the consume{. It tells of the many parts wood plays in the production of lumber, paper, fabrics and ottlt"?r""d

in its 29 pugl, ur. statistical figures and information on forest acreage in America, who owns America's forests tree farms, different methods of harvesting trees for continuous yield, the damage done yearly by fires in the forests, and an outline of the various needs which the forests supply.

The booklet is available to industry for distribution to employees, customers and to educational organizations, and may be obtained by writing the American Forest Products Industries, fnc., at 1319 18th Street, N. W., Washington 6, D.C. 5114.

Pictured herewith is the Sally Saw, the portable, powerdriven one-man saw for pulpwood and wood lot cutting, with its specially designed CMW l% h.p. 4 cycle, air cooled gasoline motor. Saw and engine weigh approximately 69 pounds, but iru sawing the weight is relieved by the tripod leg under the motor and the saw support at the working end.

It will fell trees to 11 inches in diameter with one pass without notching and. trees to 16 inches in diameter by going around the tree. A hand clasp screw is provided at the motor end of the shaft so that the angle of cut can be adjusted for felling or cutting up on the ground.

The specially designed circular saw blade operated by a shaft through driving gears has no center hub, so that the blade can saw all the way through timber. This saw can be removed in less than a minute for changing. Clutch control is provided by the handle near the motor end. A slight wrist motion controls the clutch.

The Sally Saw is manufactured by the Cummings Machine Works of Boston, holders of 5 Army-Navy "E" awards. This concern has now returned to full civilian work.

OPA Raises Ceiling Priccs of Southern "JOE BEAVER"

Pine Lumber at Mill Level

lfhe Ofifrce of Price Administration has announced an average increase of $3.25 per thousand board feet in mill ceilings for Southern pine lumber, effective February 20, 1946.

This increape conforms with a directive issued on January 30, L946, by the Office of the Stabilization Administrator and with two amendments issued subsequently. The directive ordered these increases as a means of securing a production of nine billion board feet of Southern pine lumber in 1946. This out-put, needed in the postwar housing construction program now underway, would be about 1.5 billion board feet more than 1945 production.

These increases will continue in effect until approximately August 15, L946. This will allow adequate time to determind whether production goals established by the Civilian Production Administration for the first six months of 1946 have been met. If the production goals are met, OPA is authorized, to continue the increase in effect during the six-month period following August 15th. The adjustment will be dis.continued if the goals for the first half of. 1946 are not met.

In accordance with the OSA directive, OPA will require maximum absorption of this increase by resellers. On the basis of data now available, it expects the full amount of the mill price increase to be absorbed by lumber distributors in almost all cases.

The increase is a uniform $3.25 per thousand board feet for all housing construction items manufactured from Southern pine lumber except flooring, which is increased $5 per thousand board feet, and lath, whi'ch is not increased in price, as present ceilings on lath are considered adequate. No increases were made in Southern pine car material, stress grades, structural joists and planks, and timbers larger than eight inches by eight inches.

In line with the OSA directive, these increases do not apply to mills which sell their lumber rough and cut less than four million board feet a year (small mills).

(Amendment No. 15 to Second Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. l9-southern Pine Lumber; effective February 20.1946.

Rcdwood Seasoning Committee Mecting

San Francisco, California, March 7, 1946-Harbinger of an expansion program of research into the science of drying California Redrvood lumber, an experimental dry kiln will be constructed in the heart of the Redwood belt at Eureka, California, by the Redwood Seasoning Committee of the California Redwood Association.

At the opening session of the Committee's first meeting of the year, held in February at the plant of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, Eureka, Harry Sherman, Hammond Lumber Company, Samoa, was installed as chairman of the Redwood Seasoning Committee for 1946; George Gregersen, Holmes Eureka Lumber Co., Eureka, took over the secretaryship:

Summary of the Committee's activities for 1945 revealed a diversified range of subjects analyzed. Principal problems studied during the year were associated with checked bird's-eye; proper methods of kiln drying sinker stock; vertical grain lumber and relation to seasoning degrade; and the segregation and proper grading at the green chain for drying purposes.

Projects planned lor 1946 embrace actual experimental dry kiln runs in application of information already obtained; research in special drying problems associated with different classifications of stock; studies of special kiln design, and investigation of such new methods of drying as may seem practical for commercial drying of Redwood.

As part of the industry's perennial program to produce an ever-higher quality product, the Redwood Seasoning Committee was set up two years ago to further advance the technique of drying Redwood lumber. Experimental work heretofore has been carried on at the kilns of member companies.
