de-Marked ld5 F'ir Doors

are he ld to rigid standards of quality and uniformity through Fir Daor Institute inspection seruice

NOW in effect are new quality standards for all Douglas fir doors, and new dimension specifications for stock interior doors-both backed by official Fir Door Institute inspection. Stock interior doors are prefit to /6-inch less than previous catalog height and 3/16-inch less than catalog width, which permits on-the-job installation without sawing or trimming. Stock doors are also resin pre-

sealed for better frnishing and improved dimensional stability.

On order, Douglas fir interior doors are available Factri-fit as well-pre-fit, pre-sealed and completely machined for lo&s and hinges.

All these features come under official inspection-as does workmanship and grade. The F.D.I. "grade trade-mark" is your assurance of a highquality, uniform produot.

A most adroit word user is old John Garner in the story of his political career running in Collier's. Concerning the dependability of Roosevelt, he says: "FIe was a hard man to have an understanding with; he would DEVIATE from the understanding." Isn't that a gentle way of saying what so many other men have said so harshly?

That well illustrates what Bill Henry, political writer of Washington, meant when he told about Henry Wallace, Alben Barkley, Jimmy Byrnes, Governor Kerr, and at least two others, showing up at the national Democratic convention in Chicago years ago, each with his speech already written and in his pocket, accepting the nomination for vice-president, each thoroughly convinced that FDR had promised him the job. * ,r *

Minnie the Moron says all this male criticism of women's toe-less and heel-less shoes is silly; that they are the most

Phil Silvers, the comic, suggests a swell advertisement for a cemetery would be: "If you're not buried in Forest Lawn, you haven't lived."

Miss Vivian Kellems, who owns and operates a very important machinery manufacturing plant at Westport, Connecticut, is going around making speeches, and is getting a lot of publicity from the flat statement that she is not going to collect any more income tax deductions from her employes. She says "If High Tax Harry wants,me to get that money for him, then he must appoint me an agent of the fnternal Revenue Department, and pay me a salary and expenses for making the collections." She says Uncle Sam has no constitutional right to make a personal income tax collector out of her. It's something to think about, and what happens to her

be interesting to see.

Want to read some magnificent patriotic thoughts, delightfully worded? Then read the following extracts from a speech made in connection with the Freedom Train, by Dr. M. F. Waldman. He said: "All the devices of po. litical machineryvotes and parties and programsare merely instruments to enable men to live one with another under conditions which bring forth the maximum gifts of each for the fullest enjoyment of all. We are engaged in the most difficult of all arts-the art of living together in a gracious society. For this it is not enough to be literate; it is not even enough to be literary. While mankind is literate as never before, environment for reason is least congenial. Thus, while the conditions for a good life have not changed, we now operate in a more complicated setting. In the perspective of history it will appear that ours is the tragic privilege-the tragic privilege of living in the greatest military crisis since Napoleon, the greatest economic crisis since Adam Smith, the greatest moral crisis since the fall of the Roman Empire. But if ours is the tragic privilege, ours is also the magnificent opportunity to understand that in unity there is strength, in good will there is prosperity, in tolerance there is progress-progress toward a better, a healthier, a happier*America."

I liked a speech that Senator Edward Martin, of Pennsylvania, made recently, in which he said: "I'll give you a

(Continued on Page 14)

(Continued from Page 12) program. It may not be a popular program, but, in the years to come, it will pay dividends. It will guarantee that your pension and social security programs will be sound and waiting for you; that your bank accounts will be safe; that you will continue to enjoy precious American freedom and liberty. THIS is my program: Say 'NO' to most of these flashy new spending proposals. Say 'NO' when men in high places offer to spend your money for you, and assegt they are giving you something for nothing." My personal opinion is that Senator Martin's program should be "must" reading every day for every American.

It is interesting to note that the Marshall Plan, as at present proposed, would cost every man, woman, and child in the United States approximately $SZ.06 each the first year; or $185.30 for every adult in this country. It's a lot of money. The Congress and the individual citizen will have that fact drummed into their ears by all opponents of the Plan, as though that were the vitd thing. It is NOT. That vast sum of money goes out; and none returns. For that is NOT the basis of the Plan. I'm going to let Lynn Landrum of the Dallas News, tell you what the Plan IS. In my opinion Mr. Landrum is so much the finest fundamental writer and thinker on any American newspaper, that I can't even think of one to narne second. So think carefully over his words, for the remainder of this writing will be devoted to some recent editorial remarks of Mr. Landrum. He says:

"Congress seems ai"pJ"a to forget that the recovery program for Europe is not wholly a relief program, or even chiefly one. ft is, after all, a first line of defense for the United States. It is an effort to make dollars, wisely expended, head off the necessity of resorting to bayonets and atomic bombs. The thought in Washington is that we are in danger of not getting our money's worth out of the investing of several billion dollars under the Marshall Plan. That is very loose thinking-if, indeed, it is sincere thinking at all. The Marshall Plan is NOT economic imperialism. It is NOT the desire to get a financial hold upon other countries. It is NOT a way to lay out capital for a dividend in dollars and cents to us. So far as dividends in monetary return, we might as well forget that. The outgo under the Marshall Plan, is outgo. There is no income under the Marshall Plan. It is NOT that kind of a plan.

"We need Europe, not as a colony or a commercial monopoly of some sort. That is what Moscow tries to make out of the Marshall Plan. But that is NOT what the Marshall Plan is aiming at. We need Europe simply because we are nei.ther big enough, powerful enough, or imperialistic enough, to spread out and fitl all the vacuums in the world. We need Europe to be European, not American. A little common sense will show that the United States will have a hard time trying to get on in a world which consists of the United States bounded on all sides by Russia. We don't want that, although Russia DOES. We can't stand that'

"The money that we propose to spend in Europe aims to restore Europe, but it aims to do that so that we can be free from all danger of a Europe over-run by Russia. Any monetary return that comes to us is subordinate to that major objective. The Marshall Plan is dollar diplomacywith the accent on the diplomacy and not on the dollar. It is dollar diplomacy because it uses our dollars in this emergeircy, as an instrument of national and international policy. But it is NOT an attempt to buy France or buy Britain and so on and on., We DO trade; but we take no souls in pawn. WE COME AWAY WITH NO POUND OF FLESH.''

Complete lE Homes Story Told In Arthur Larsen Appointed Chief Inspector Full-Color Sound Slide-Film Now For Douglas Fir Plywood Association Available For Dcaler Ure

To answer the growing demand for a short, concise presentation of the Industry Engineered llomes Program and the principles involved, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has just announced the completion of a full-color sound slide-film for use at dealer meetings, local civic club meetings, or meetings of allied local industry groups.

Supplementing the book "Here's A Better Way To Build," the tr,vo sets of Industry Engineered Home Plans now available, and the dealer promotional kit, the film is designed to tell in 15 minutes the complete story of the construction methods recommended and the cost savings possible.

Dealers are urged to shorv the film'locally to dealer groups; to contractors and home builders; to home buyer prospects; to allied local industry groups; to local housing officials; to clubs, schools and conventions; to visitors at model Industry Engineered Demonstration Homes; and to all dealer bmployees.

Consisting of a 47-frame, 35mm full-color film strip and a carefully synchronized sound recording, the film is, in effect, a "boiled down" version of the Industry Engineered Homes Book, "Here's A Better \'Vay To Build."

It explains fully what the Industry Engineered Home is, how it can be built, why it costs less. It provides an answer to the government housing challenge and re-establishes confidence in the private building industry. Use it to add to your prestige as a home building authority, and to tie you in r,r'ith a Nationwide Industry Homebuilding Campaign.

Projectors, screens and record players for displaying this film are available or can be rented at most film supply dealers in larger cities, and in smaller towns are often found in public schools or public utility offices.

One copy of the film and disk rvill be provided by the National to each State and Regional Association for use in dealer group meetings. Dealers may also arrange to purchase a film and disk set through their State Association Secretaries for $9.50, plus express charges.

Arthur Larsen, inspector of Douglas fir plywood production since 1934 when Pacific Northwest panel manufacturers introduced industry-wide quality control of their product, is the new chief inspector for Douglas Fir Plylvood Association.

This announcement comes from the Tacoma, Wash., headquarters o{ the industry trade-promotion association representing Oregon and Washington firms operating 34 factories in the two states. Combined, these plants manufacture two thirds of the nation's plywood.

Mr. Larsen's experience in the production of plywood dates back to 1925 when he started work at Washington Veneer Co. at Olympia, Wash. He remained with that firm until joining the industry-maintained inspection force when standardization of grades and quality of the material was initiated as a part of the trade-promotion effort which since has established fir plywood as a basic building commodity.

He will have headquarters at the Tacoma testing laboratory of the industry organilation. However, Mr. Larsen rvill spend most of his time in the field as does the corps of inspectors under him rvho circulate among plywood factories constantly to effect the quality control program. Scientific random sampling, following "statistical control" methods and the laboratory testing of several thousand specimens monthly, assure ultimate plywood consumers uniform high performance of the panels in service.

In moving to the top inspection position in the Douglas fir plywood industry, Mr. Larsen replaces George M. Williams who resigned to join the sales and service force of American-Marietta Co.. Adhesive. Resin & Chemical Division at Seattle.

Stcrts Construction oI New OIIice Building

E. K. Wood Lumber Company recently started construction of a new tlvo-story, office building at their Oakland yard. The building should be completed by June 1.

It is estimated that the sustained yield cutting practices now in use in the Douglas fir region will permit an annual harvest of 7% billion board feet of lumber annually forever.

I{hat lToulil I{e Do l{ithout Color? Moral: Sell More and More Paint

Imagine your town without a drop of paint on any building ! Picture your living rooms undecorated ! Look at the walls of your home, and think of them as never having been painted !

How would your auto look unfinished?

Your place of business would be monotonous and dreary. Machinery would all look alike. Farm buildings would be so unsightly that they would appear hideous.

Without color you might as well be blind. Color is EVERYTHING.

We remember scenes because the coloring is beautiful. We recall summer nights when the sky was bluer than usual. We think of a certaindawn because nature was lavish with her colors on that particular morning.

We love certain homes because the color scheme has been worked out harmoniously.

We desire to own certain farms because the color schemes of the building lay-out have appealed to us. ' I

We may not attribute these desires to the color schemes. We may imagine that something entirely different was responsible. Yet in the majority of cases our favorable attention was first attracted by color.

Color attracts and fascinates.

Winter is dreary because there is little varietyin nature's color scheme. Spring is beautiful because color is returning to the world. Summer is gorgeous because nature has returned to her color climax.

Motion pictures often depend for their success or failure on whether they are in color or not. Many an indifferent production has been saved by wonderful color effects.

A woman is beautiful when she wears a certain color. With some other color she is entirely unattrpctive. We often judge new people we meet by the colors they wear.

Color intensifies love and admiration, and intensifies repellance.

That is why the selection of colors is important.

A building can be entirely ruined by poor paint or poorly selected colors.

Ffomes are hideous or "homey" according to the color scheme selected and applied.

A farm well painted is easily salable. Badly painted, its value is much redubed.

Color is produced by paint.

There is no merchant to whom color is more. important to business success than the lumber merchant.

Most of the material he sells WILL be or SHOULD be COLORED. To have them properly colored, and attractively colored, is as important as the original sale itself.

Therefore the lumber merchant should sell paint, he should know color schemes, and he should carefully advise his customers on the use of COLOR.

Doing so means much to his business in every way.

Denies Charges by Federal Trade Commission

Tacoma, Wash., March 6-The Fir Door fnstitute, of Tacoma, Wash., today issued a blanket denial to charges by the Federal Trade Commission that it has been guilty of collusion and restraint of trade in the manufacture of Douglas fir doors.

"These charges," said John O'Hara, managing director of the Fir Door Institute, "are absolutely without foundation and, of course, are denied altogether.'

Mr. Harte said that the inquiry into the practices of the fir door industry had been completed by the Government more than a year ago, and questioned their publication at this time during an ele,ction year. He said the officers of the Institute were no longer those listed on the bill of complaint.

IVIr. Harte said the Institute welcomed the inclusion of other technicalities in the Trade Commission's complaint, as these were of a nature that could well stand clarification.

"Some of the points raised by the Commission," said Mr. Harte, "have to do with the establishment of industrywide standards, backed by inspection.

"Such standards.were actually promulgated by the U.S. Bureau of Standards, in Washington, and apply to practically every industry in the United States. So that when the Commission objects to such standards it is, in effect, attacking an activity by another branch of the Federal government.

"The other charges in the complaint are equally denied and can be fully answered, and will so be answered by the Institute, and the companies involved in this action, at a date to be set in Washington.

"\Me are confident that final outcome of these hearings will be complete exoneration of the fir door industryr aadapproval of the manner they are producing doors in mil-' lions for the homes so badly needed in America toCa).i'

\Testern Hardwood Begins lmportation of Philippine Mahogany

"Philippine Mahogany is back again !" This announcement dramatic indeed to the lumber industry, furniture and cabinet makers and the building trades was recently issued by the Western Hardwood Lumber Company of Los Angeles.

Pioneers in the importing of fine hardrvoods from all over the world, Western Hardwood has greatly expanded its organization and plant facilities for the procurement and distribution of Philippine Mahogany both locally and throughout the United States. The firm has opened an olfice in Manila headed by A. G. Jacobson, well known Iumberman in the states before the rvar and LieutenantColonel in charge of all lumber production in the Southwest Pacific during tl.re conflict. In spite of Japanese destruction, Colonel Jacobson sttcceeded in getting seventyfive Philippine mills in operation while the l,var rvas still in progress.

Field experience such as this, plus a comprehensive knorvledge of the American lumber market, will enable Jacobson to serve customers of Western Hardwood from logging operations to shipment. The extensive kiln capacity, storage facilities and lumber handling equipment at Weste:n Hardwood's Terminai Island and Los Angeles yards 'rvait at this side of the Pacific to facilitate distribution througl.rout this country. In some cases, shipments rvill be n.rade directly from the Philippines to Gulf and Atlantic ports.

First milestone in Western's expanded importing operation was marked late in February when a cargo of Philippine Mahogany was unloaded from the S.S. Lake Babine at the firm's Terminal Island yard. fhis is one of the first shipments of Philippine hardwoods to be received in America since before the war.

With handling equipment working around the clock

rvhile the sl.rip rvas unloading, lift trucks took the lumber as it came off the slings and set it on carrier blocks two sling-loads high and concentrated it at the Terminal Island vards in sling-load quantities. Then, as it u'as tallied into its respective orders, the lumber rvas put in lift-loads for ready handling to trucks for deliverv to the consuming trade.

LiIt trucks tqke the lumber cs it comes oII slings crnd sei it on ccrrier blockg on the dock.

Boat Patch Glue Applicator

A casual remark plus an individual's ingenuity has developed an almost revolutionary time saver in the plywood plant of The Long-Bell Lumber Company at Weed, California.

It's a boat patch glue applicator which has trimmed 40 per cent off the usual time required for gluing up of boat patches. With the time saving brought about by the invention, the process of patch preparation has also b'een increased.

A casual remark by millwright Hap Delong as he watched Mrs. Auda Samples rack and spray the patches, was overheard by the Panel Foreman Mario Marchi. After Delong had repeated the remark to Marchi, the ingenious mechanic ditappeared into his workshop and started to work.

The first model of the glue applicator gave almost a Rube Goldberg appearance with its rubber bands, bobby pins and any ofher handy material. The model 'ivas made of wood. Despite the fact that practically everything except the kitchen sink rvas incorporated in the first boat patch glue applicator, the gadget performed its task with regularity and determined success.

A bit of redesigning, with the expanding of this part and the whittling away of another, and the applicator entered the machine shop to emerge a member of the steel family.

The applicator is in reality a miniature glue spreader with the exception of the two wheels. They are grooved to a "V" shape to take the boat patches. The wheels rotate in Urea Resin glue and the operator merely pushes the boat patch down between the two "V" shaped 'ivheels and the spring tension then carries it on through to complete the gluing process.

The glue applicator has one fixed wheel rvith the other operating on a slide with spring tension to allow the wheels to follow the contour of the patch resulting in a uniform spread of glue on the edge. Rubber shields fit closely around the wheels to keep the excess glue from sides of the wheels. The control of glue spread is accomplished with a small doctor bar.and the excessive glue is kept in the hopper pan.

Most common method of applying glue to boat patches requires the placing of patches face to face on racks and

A boot pctch stcrls througb the lcbor scrving boct pctch gluer. the application of the glue with spray guns or brushes. After which it is necessary to separate the patches which After this operation the racked patches are allowed to dry. have adhered to one another due to excessive glue.

Marchi's boat patch glue applicator eliminates the necessity of pairing up, racking and separating the patches in addition to the application of glue by spray gun or brush. In addition to saving 40 per cent of the time generally used for the operation, the convenience and speed of handling the patches has been increased.

After the operation has passed the patches between the grooved u,heels of the applicator, the patches are placed in drawers for procuring before being used in the hot plate patch. The placing of the patches in drawers make storage of the patches less cumbersome.

The boat patches are used to replace defects with clear wood after defects such as knots and pitch pockets have been removed. A "Defect Cutter" cuts a hole the exact size of the boat patches.

The Long-Bell Plywood plant at Weed is the oldest on the Pacific Coast operating in pine. The plant was established in 1910 as a veneer plant and the product was used entirely by the company in its own door manufacturing operation. As the demand for plywood increased, the operation rvas expanded with the result that the plant has been undergoing extensive modernizing operations for the past few years. The modernization will be completed as soon as machinery is made available.

A Friend

What is a friend?

I will tell you.

It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.

Your soul can go naked with him.

He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be as you are.

He does not want you to be better or worse.

When you are with him you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent.

You do not have to be on your guard. You can say as you think, so long as it is genuinely you.

He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge yor.r- With him you breathe freely.

You can avow your little vanities, and envies, and hates, and vicious sparks, your meanness and absurdities, and in opening them up to him they are lost, dissolved in the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands.

You do not have to be careful.

You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him.

Best of all, you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you.

He is like fire that purges all you do.

He is like water that cleanses all that you say.

He is like wine that warms you to the bone. He understands. He understands.

You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin with him, pray with him.

Through, and underneath it all he sees, knows, and loves you.

A friend, I repeat, is one with yourself.

*;;- you dare to be -(Exchange.)

Seven Mistakes Of LiIe

The delusion that individual advancement is made'by crushing others down.

The tendency to worry about things that cannot be helped.

Lincoln's Chcracter

One of the biographers of Lincoln dwells deeply on the tremendously depressing effect the Civil War had on the character of that very remurrkable man.

The news had come of a great victory for the North, and a lady visitor at the executive mansion said to him:

"Mr. President, this news should make you very happy."

"Madam," said Lincoln, with a face that seemed to carry all the woes of the world, "I never expect to be happy again."

A Fair Proposition

The firm had a new office boy. A few days after he started work, a ten dollar bill disappeared from the cash drawer. The boss called the new office boy in, and said severely: "There is ten dollars missing from the cash, Albert. Now you and I are the only ones whq have keys to that drawer."

"Well," said Albert, "suppose we just pay five dollars each and say no more about it."

Privcrte

The boy on the bus kept sniffing and wiping his nose on his sleeve. A lady next to him said:

"Boy, have you no handkerchief?"

He looked her over thoughtfully for a few moments. Yes'm," he said, "but I don't lend it to strangerS."

Rcrcicl Charcrcteristics

A wise man was discussing racial characteristics. He said: "Eight men were once wrecked on a desert island, 2 Irishmen,2 Scotchmen, 2 Englishmen, and 2 Americans. At the end of a year it was noted that: the Irishmen had fought each other twice every day; the Scotchmen had founded a Caledonian Society;'the,Englishmen had not spoken to each other, never having bben formally introduced; but the Americans in one month had opened a real estate agency, a Rotary Club, and a Chamber of Commerce."

Billion-Plus Timber Management Agreement For 50 Years Proposed In California

San Francisco, March l.-Regional Forester Perry A. Thompson announced today the U. S. Forest Service proposes to establish a "cooperative sustained yield unit" at Woodleaf, Calif., vi'hich pool 1.7 billion feet of publicowned and privately owned timber in a lumber operation based on conservative forestry practice.

The proposed unit would assure a sustained yield of forest products from 106,000 acres of timberland, with the land maintained in productive condition perpetually. It would stabilize employment for about 175 wage-earners in the Woodleaf vicinity.

The agreement would run for 50 years (until 198). It would be the second such agreement betryeen government and industry in the United States undef:terms of the Sustained Yield Unit Act passed by Congress in 1944. The first unit was set up at Shelton, Wash., a year ago.

Under authority of that Act, said Regional Forester Thompson, the Forest service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture proposes to enter into a coopertaive sustained yield agreement with the Soper-Wheeler Company of Strawberry Valley, Calif., for coordinated management of the company's land and specified land in the Plumas National Forest, on a basis of sustained yield.

If established, the unit would be known as the Woodleaf Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit. The National Forest land within the unit bears an estimated 1,155,000,000 board-feet of timber. The Soper-Wheeler Company land bears an estimated 552,000,@0 feet. The lands are intermingled.

Milling would be done by the Sacramento Box and Lumber Company under an agreement with the Soper-Wheeler Company. Under this agreement "Sacramento Box" would operate the sawmill. About 175 persons will b'e employed in mill and woods.

Ordinarily, said Regional Forester Thompson, lumber companies owning timber land log it according to their own plans; timber on National Forest land suitable for logging is sold to lumber companies desiring to bid for it competitively and cut it under Forest Service supervision. Ih the proposed Woodleaf Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit, the Forest Service would appraise the value of timber on the National Forest land inside the unit and would sell it to the Soper-Wheeler Company without competition. In turn, the company would cut the timb'er on its own land inside the,unit under the same practices employed on Natiqnal Forest land.

For the information of other lumber companies and their employees, the Regional Forester gave assurance that the p:oposed unit does not include all National Forest timber in the vicinity of Woodleaf. He said the Forest Service rvill continue the sale on competitive bids of timber elsewhere on the Plumas National Forest and the 17 other national forests in California.

"The public should also know," said Mr. Thompson, "that the proposed unit will have no effect on private lands within the unit's boundaries, except the land owned by the Soper-Wheeler Company and the Sacramento Box'and Lumber Companv.

Record Volume o[ New Dwelling Units

The Federal Housing Adiminstration has been an important factor in the accomplishments of the private housing industry in producing a record volume of new dwelling units during 1947, according to Federal Housing Commissioner Franklin D. Richards.

Last year lending institutions filed mortgage insurance applications with the FHA involving more than 424,000 new housing units, and 162,000 units in existing structurqs.

The major portion of the applications covering new construction were filed under the provisions of the emergency legislation to provide housing for veterans, which is Title VI of the National Housing Act. Approximately 44 per cent of these involved rental ttnits, in line with the Adminstration's policy to encourage the construction of rental units so that families rvould not be compelled to buy a house in order to get shelter.

New housing units were being started under FHA inspection during the year 1947 at an average rate of 19,000 a month, Mr. Richards said. This is a record rate which even exceeds the previous volume of starts in 1941 when the program to house defense workers was in progress.

Hqrdwood Flooring Output in 1947 Set All-Time Record

Chicago.-Output of hardwood flooring in the nation's major producing areas set an all-time annual record of approximately 620 million board feet in 1947, Allen Harris Jr., president of the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association reported.

The figure, he said, is about double that of 1946 production and 36 million board feet greater than the previous record set in 1926. It includes unfinished and pre-finished flooring of oak, hard maple, beech, birch and pecan, all of which have been in short supply since 1942. Harris said there is a likelihood 1948 production may top last year's peak output by as much as 100 million board feet'

Floor Maintenance Materials

Plans for an intensive advertising campaign on floor maintenance products have been announced by E. L. Bruce Co., hardwood flooring manufacturers of Memphis, Tenn.

Important news in floor cleaning circles is the Bruce DOOZIT, a longhandled cleaner-waxerpolisher that housewives stand up to use. They don't even soil their hands. The dirty work is done by a replaceable pad of fine steel wool similar to that used in the finishing of fine furniture. The pad does the job oT cleaning, waxing and polishing wood and linoleum floors, preventing damage done by soap and water scrubbing. It was developed for use with Bruce floor cleaner.

Many lumber dealers stock the complete line of Bru.ce maintenance products.

There are now more than 2,500,000 acres of Tree Farms in the Douglas fir region of the Pacific Northwest.

"Forest Influencer"

"Forest Influences" is a new book by Joseph Kittredge, Professor of Forestry, at the University of California. The author brings together for the first time the widely scattered information on the value of forests and shrubs as a protective covering for the land. He analyzes their basic physical relations to climate, water, and soil, and evaluates their usefulness and the possibilities in their management for the reduction of floods and erosion and the production of maximum yields of usable water. Quantitative data and relations are emphasized throughout.

The book is published by the McGraw-Hill Book Company, 330 West 42nd Street, New York 18, N.Y. The price is $4.50.

Bulletin on How to Drive Ncrils

A 54-page technical bulletin entitled "Technique of House Nailing," has been issued by the Housing and Home Finance Agency. The publication contains more than 50 illustrations showing correct nailing methods in all phases of home building.

The bulletin is for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. The price is 20 cents..

Tests on heartwood from trees that have stood for as long as 15 years after being killed by fire or insects have demonstrated that this lvood was as sound and strong as wood froth the live tree.

Sterling Stofle, sales manager, Western Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, returned February 27 from a business trip to Washington and Oregon.

Joe Sherar, head of the promotion department of the Western Pine Association, Portland, Ore., was in Los Angeles during the first week in March. He gave a lecture on Western Pines at the Short Training Course for Retail Lumber Personnel being held this month at the University of Southern California. The course is sponsored by the Southern California Retail Lumber Association.

Roy Wilson, Warm Springs Lumber Co., Warm Springs, Ore., and Mrs. Wilson, have been visiting in Southern California since early January, spending their time at La Jolla and Palm Springs.

Nelson E. Jones, Jones was a recent Los Angeles Hardwood visitor. Co., San Francisco,

Reeves Taylor, president of the Taylor Lumber Co., Eugene, Ore., and Mrs. Taylor, were Los Angeles visitors around the first of the month. They took in the races at Santa Anita Park, and saw the running of the Santa Anita Derby. They are now spending a few weeks at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs. While in Los Angeles, Mr. Taylor was a caller at the office of Charles E. Kendall, Southern California representative for the Taylor Lumber Co.

Municipal Building Codes

The streamlining of municipal building codes which have grown so unwiedly that in many instances necessary home and commercial construction is seriously hampered was urged in Portland recently by John Fies, building code consultant for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Mr. Fies, whose headquarters are in San Francisco, spoke before an accident prevention and safety group of the American Red Cross.

"There is a growing tendency to put too much detail into building codes," Mr. Fies said. "This has the inevitable result of unneccesarily restricting building that is in the public interest and for the public good.

"Laws Tor the protection of the public are a legitimate police power, but often these laws, insofar as construction is concerned, go beyond the purpose of safeguarding the people's welfare. They tend to restrict the use of materials which are perfectly safe and satisfactory when properly used.

"It is therefore not desirable to see how many restrictions can be written into a building code; it is important to consider the purpose carefully and reduce the regulations under police power to the very minimum required for the public good."
