The California Lumber Merchant - April 1942

Why be sarlsffed wlrh less?

Is your job wanrprooJP If it is, don't you agree that it makes a good selling point for your building methods? If you haven't tried to plug that point, do so on your next job and be sure you specify Monolith Vaterproof Plastic Cement to back you up with dependable quality.In tensile, compressive and adhesive strengths, you'll always find Monolith tests higher. As botli mortar and concrete it gives superior pqotection against cracks, checking and broken oorners. Mono. lith withstands abrasive wear and the attack of al. kalis in sub soil construction. And the lout magrcsia content gives it greater density, greater durability... yet it spreads farther for more economy. Yes, it's qualities like these that help make a better job... and don't forget the most completely untcrprooJ job in this market.

Always specify the sacks with the big red "Ml' Remember that it costs no more to get the best!

How Lrumber Lrooks

Representatives of 167 lumber concerns were present at the Government lumber auction held at Portland, March 18 and 19, by officers of the chief of army engineers' headquarters.

Major J. C. Stowers was in charge, assisted by Robert V. English; James R. Flewharty, Vincent C. Hohman and Thomas J. Whelan.

Approximately 40,000,000 feet was purchased, the greater part of which was for the Corvallis, Oregon, cantonment.

San Francisco, March ?A.-A large amount of lumber was bought last week to build eight assembly centers in Northern California from which enemy aliens will be routed to semi-permanent camps. It was indicated the assembly centers will be in operation by next week. They will provide temporary living quarters for 37,00O evacuees, most of them Japanese and Japanese'Americans.

The centers listed by the Army's Wartime Civil Control Administration are as follows: One mile south of Marysville, Wallergo, north of Sacramento, Stockton, Turlock, Merced, Fresno, Pinedale (six miles north of Fresno), Tulare.

A considerable footage of construction lumber was supplied by yards at the points named, but mosl of it is being rushed from the mills.

week ended March 14 reported 461 mills produced 237,LO7,000 feet of hardwoods and softwoods combined, shipped 280,805,000 feet, and booked orders for 273,D$@0 feet.

Lumber orders reported for the week by 379 softwood mills totaled m34,W feet, shipments were 269,236,W feet, and production was 226,6n000 feet. 95 hardwood mills for the week gave new business as 12,958,000 feet, shipments 11,569,000 feet, and production 10,478,000 feet.

Seattle, Washington, March 12, tg4z.-According to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry, the weekly average of West Coast lumber production in February (4 weeks), was 164,495,m0 board feet, or 90.0 per cent of estimated capacity. Orders averaged 177,517,W board feet; shipments, 173,005,000. Weekly averages for January were: production, 159,348,000 board feet (80.9 per cent of the 192619n average); orders, 19I,374,ffi ; shipments, 173,005,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 894,341,000 board feet at the end of February; gross stocks, at 967,824,W.'What's

ahead of the lumber industry after the installation of the nation's war plant is substantially finished? This is the great question on the horizon of West Coast lumber as the war market now approaches its peak.

During the first World War a young newspaper reporter named Waldemar Young attended a meeting of the Red Cross that impressed him so that he went directty back to his office and wrote in the form of a poem, the impressions the meeting had given him. They were beautiful words, and ended thus:

"They came upon the charnel house, A fag of white they bore, With cross of flame, in mercy's name, To ease the ache of war; And in the night, these figures white, Shut tight the charnel door. More wait outside the charnel house, And fewer go inside, And war's red yield from battlefield Is less a fowing tide; And many men go home again, Of those who might have died. And many men have sought the sun, fn sodden sinks of rain, Have found their rest in fingers blest, That cooled the scalding pain; So ye that give to help these liv+ Ye have not lived in vain."

So far as my personal reading goes that seems to me the strongest, finest poetic appeal for the Red Cross and its saving work, that has yet been penned. Waldemar Young is now listed among the dead; but the words he wrote deserve immortality.

And, speaking of the Red Cross, did it ever occur to you that here is the one thing left in this sadly disillusioned world concerning which no word of unkind criticism is ever spokenno voice of condemnation ever raised? Yes, the Red Cross appears to stand alone like unto the Rock of Ages itself, commanding the respect, deserving the esteem, and winning the praise of all mankind. All other subjects seem to be at some times and by some men, debatable-+ontroversial. But not so the Red Cross, which seems definitely and completely to rise above the shafts of human criticism. You never hear even the mildest disparagement of this organization, or its work.

Here all unkindly comment ends; here human appreciation and approbation reach their zenith. Its worth is never guestioned, its blessedness never denied. Never has the finger of suspicion pointed in its direction. Never has a suggestion of graft been pointed toward it. Partisan rancor stops before reaching the Red Cross. Slander casts no evil thought in its direction. Mankind arises and with one voice calls it good. Who is there so cu,rsed with lack of vision as to doubt that the finger of God, Himself, is upon this organization, protecting it, directing it, ennobling it? As the Good Book says, "the gates of Hell shaU not prevail against it." *:k*

And, thinking of men who go home again who might have died, brings up another vitally interesting subject, together with an almost unbelievable paradox in human affairs. I've been reading about the Sulpha drugs, Sulphanilamide and those other derivatives that are rapidly changing the face of the medical and surgical world. No need to try and tell the story here. This drug has brought a revolution in the treatment of countless dangerous ailments. The dreaded pneumonia is cut to a minimum of fatality. Strep infections lose their power to destroy life. Infected wounds become clean over night. Venereal diseases disappear as though by magic. Literally scores of dangerous ailments are being treated successfully by the five well known Sulpha medicines today, and the list grows steadily as the medical and surgical professions experiment with this life-saving wonder.

Authorities say that "rinl blttlefield, and in the treatment of the wounds that come from warlike weapons and subject to war conditions, the marvels of treatment and of cure will be even greater than in civilian life. The treatment of wounded soldiers will be saved a million horrors by these drugs. Most of the wounded who die in war, are killed by infections. But where the Sulpha medicines are used, these infections lose most of their terror and their destructive qualities. Thousands of wounded men will now survive who never before in the history of warfare could have been cured. All the world will arise and call these medicines blessed.

And where, you may l"n, uJ"" the great paradox develop from these facts? Simply that the wortd got this

Sulpha drug from the Germans. The nation that is now turning the world into a sea of blood and tears and death, gave the world Sulphanilamide and its sister medicines. On one hand the Germans take the lives of millions of people; and on the other hand they save countless lives wherever medicine is known. Unbelievable isn't it? Wherever men fall in battle, with horrid wounds to be treated and pain unspeakable to be relieved, these German drugs will restore health and life to many who must otherwise die. What a blessing to humanity that German nation might have been, had its genius not been so swallowed up with blood lust!

A young German medical student found Sulphanilamide. That was away back in 1908. It is made from coal tar, as are so many less powerful drugs. The name of the student is known, and no more. No one even knows what became of him. And his discovery lay dormant and unused for about twenty-five years. But finally this blessed medicine was brought to light, and put to work. And now look at it ! No discovery in history surpasses it in value, with the possible exception of anaesthetics. And the thought that makes you shake your head is that the same nation that brought desolation to all the world, at almost the same time produces one of humanity's mightiest blessings. And we don't know the half of it yet, say the medical men.

An amusing angle ao * arrl" li"".."rio. came several months ago when a speaker at a convention of undertakers reported that the undertaking business had been sadly disturbed by the Sulpha drugs, since tens of thousands of people are being cured every month in this country alone, who would otherwise be undertaker jobs. And he shook his head sadly, this speaker did, at the hard luck that had come to his chosen profession.

And, changing from subjects of gloom to those of an amusing aspect, here are some little "gags" going the rounds that I got a lot of laughs out of; the elephant drank so much whiskey he got the D.T.'s, and saw little pink men; the frog got up one morning and his voice was so hoarse he said he must have a man in his throat; the two ghosts sat down to talk things over, and one of them said to the other-"do you believe in people?" and the blase guy at the girl show on Broadway, who saw the beautiful strip-tease artist strip down to her waist, and was heard to remark,-"Boy, wouldn't she look swell in a sweater!" ***

And Maurice Angly sent me a wire that said: "The optomist today is the guy who still thinks the futurc is uncertain."

But reminding even the best men tlrcrt the use oI the Golden Rule grows nore importcnt in time oI trouble crnd should never be overlooked in cny trcde, is cdvice-giving thct ccn hcrrdly be overdone.

Give him the unvcrnished lcrcts, in order that between you his needs mcy be best served.

He depends on you qs cr relicble expert in your line oI business to keep him lully inlonned. Be certcrin thct you deserve thcrt confidepce.

There wcs once c benevolent rich mcn who look c liking to c certcrin ccr' penter, cnd decided to help him. So he hired him to build c nice home on the side oI cr lovely hill, cnd then the owner went cnucy on cr long iourney.

U. S. Halts Home Building in San Francisco and Peninsula

Priorities on all San Francisco and Peninsula home construction, both private and public, were halted by Federal authorities on March 19, until such time as existing vacancies are filled.

Carl Smith, senior housing specialist with the Defense Housing Co-ordinator, said his decision to refuse further priorities was based on surveys showing the number of vacancies in San Francisco, including a recent survey by Assessor Russell Wolden that placed vacancies at 10,300.

Mr. Smith announced at the same time that the ban on home construction in Marin County, that has been in effect for several months, will be lifted as soon as work begins on the new Sausalito shipyard.

The San Francisco Building Trades Council and Associated Home Builders challenged the vacancy surveys and insisted that construction of defense houses in the $6.000 bracket continue.

The priorities ban will not affect the West Side Courts, lorv cost housing project to cost $599,389, for which the San Francisco Housing Authority recently received approval from Washington to begin construction.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's housing project in the Lake Merced area will not be affected by the ban.

The Most Beautilul and Romantic \(/ill in History

Many years ago a lawyer named Charles Lounsbury, poor and insane, died in the Cook County Asylum, in Illinois. After he was gone it was found that he had left behind a will, one of the most remarkable in human history. It belongs in every scrapbook. Here is the way it read:

"I, Charles Lounsbury, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make and publish this my last will and testament in order, as justly as may be, to distribute my interest in the world among succeeding men. That part of my interest which is known in law and recognized in the sheep-bound volumes as my property, being inconsiderable and of no account, I make no disposal of in this, my will.

"My right to live being but a life estate is not at my disposal, but these things excepted, all else in the world f now proceed to devise and bequeath: I give to good fathers and mothers in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encouragement, and all queer pet names and endearments, and I charge said parents to use them justly and generously, as the needs of their children may require.

"I leave to children exclusively, but only for the term of their childhood, all and every, the flowers of the field and the blossoms of the woods with the right to play among them freely according to the customs of children, warning them at the same time against thistles and thorns. And I devise to children the banks of the brooks and the golden sands beneath the waters thereof, and the odors of the willows that dip therein, and the white clouds that float high over the giant trees. And I leave the children the long, long days to be merry in, in a thousand ways, and the night, and the moon, and the train of the Milky Way b wonder at, but subject, nevertheless, to the rights hereina.fter given to lovers.

TEYEIIIBLS GRO88 GIRGUI.ATION KILNS

"I devise to boys jointly all the useful fields and commons where ball may be played, all pleasant waters where one may swim; all snow-capped hills where one may coast, and all streams and ponds where one may fish, or whene, when grim winter comes on, one may skate; to have and to hold the same for the period of their boyhood. And all meadows, with the clover blossoms and butterflies thereof; the woods and their appurtenances, the squirrels and birds, and echoes of their strange noises, and all distant places which may be visited, together with the adventures there found. And I give to said boys each his own place at the fireside at night, with all pictures that may be seen in the burning wood, to enjoy without let or hindrance, and without any cumbrance or care.

"To tovers, I devise their imaginery world, with whatever they may need, as the stars in the sky, the red roses by the wall, the bloom of the hawthorne, the sweet strains of music, and aught else by which they may desire to prove to each other the last lingering beauty of their love.

"To young men jointly I bequeath and devise all boisterous and inspiring sports of 'rivalry, and I give to them the disdain of weakness and undaunted confidence in their own strength, though they are rude. And I give to them the power to make lasting friendships, and of possessing companions, and to them exclusively I give all merry songs and brave choruses to sing with lusty voices.

"And to those who are no longer children, or youths, or lovers, I leave memory, and I bequeath to them the volumes of the poets Burns and Shakespeare and of other poets-if indeed there be others-fully and without tithes or diminution.

"To our loved ones with snowy crowns, I bequeath the happiness of old age, the love and gratitude of their children, until they fall asleep."

1942 Curtis' Promotion Plan Approved bv Dealers

Sales representatives of Curtis Companies Incorporated, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork, have for the past several weeks been presenting to dealers, contractors, and architects the very interesting merchandising plan which Curtis has available f.or 1942. The Curtis sales plan is effectively presented by means of a large portfolio which pictures and describes the numerous sales helps and promotional campaigns used by Curtis to aid trade factors in merchandising Curtis Woodwork.

In commenting urpon the Curtis campaign for 1942, H. H. Hobart, sales manager, stated:

"Our men have met with fine acceptance from lumber dealers, contractors and architects everywhere when presenting the new Curtis merchandising plan fot 1942. While we are faced with critical world conditions this year and while we have considerable defense work in our plants, yet we feel it is very necessary to sell and to sell hard. Our dealers and trade factors will have good advertising support in selling Curtis Woodr,vork and in securing what business is available from both small home construction and home modernization. Curtis Woodwork is being advertised in the farm field for the first time in several years. We are featuring low-cost merchandise in our campaign and putting considerable emphasis on home modernization and on small home construction. Curtis kitchen cabinets are given a large share of publicity in our general campaign.

"Last September we announced to the trade the change in the weatherstripping of our Silentite window unit' This change is now firmly established with all trade factors' A considerable amount of our magazine space is placed behind the Silentite window unit."

All Curtis sales rerpresentatives are equipped with the new sales portfolio which illustrates Ihe 1942 advertising and also the Curtis method of following-up prospects-a plan in effect by this organization for many years. This prospect follow-up is an important part of the Curtis advertising plan.

\(/he eler Osgood Announces "Color-Grading,1Ne* Door Labeling System

A new and totally different system of identifying and labeling grades of stock Douglas Fir doors makes its appearance this month, when Wheeler Osgood "ColorGraded" doors go on the market through the company's jobbers and dealers.

Every "Deluxe" Grade A and "Master" Grade B Wheeler Osgood door will carry a new paper label, securely attached to the bottom rail. Grade A labels will be blue, and feature the grade, size, style, surface and company guarantee; Grade B labels will be red, and feature the grade, size, style and surface of each door.

"Branded doors guarantee quality," explains N. O. Cruver, vice-president and general manager of Wheeler Osgood, in discussing the company's program. "We are proud to prominently place on our doors our name, our guarantee, and grade."

"fn times like these we feel that every contribution our firm can make to assist dealers, builders, contractors, and architects is doubly important. That's why we're proud to offer "Color-Grading" to the building industry."

The "Color-Grading" system, developed after constant sales research and study, is designed to aid dealers in selling, checking and merchandising these grades of doors. The bright color labels make it possible to see at a glance the grade of door being sold. Because the dealer can see what doors he has in stock, inventory is speeded up considerably. Wheeler Osgood expects that more highergrade doors will be sold as a result of "Color-Grading," since the new labeling system invites comparison of doors, and offers dealers a new talking point to feature to customers.

For the first time in the industry, a manufacturer's name is given prominent display on a door. The famous Wheeler Osgood guarantee also receives added selling punch and power, U.S. Standard Grades and Designs are guaranteed. Dealers are offered a saving in time, and many new merchandising advantages formerly unknown.

Thousands of Wheeler Osgood doors are now going into military and Government housing projects all over the nation, according to company executives. At the same time they report that Wheeler Osgood doors are available to their customers for immediate delivery.

Advertisements feature the advantages of fir doors, along with the new "Color-Grading" system, and offer readers free literature on "Color-Grading" through the use of a coupon.

This new development marks Wheeler Osgood's fiftysecond year of business. Today, the company, one of the largest in the industry, manufactures a complete line of interior and exterior doors for every architectural requirement.

\(/hat's Ahead for the Industry

A reproduction in part of an address given by Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association, before the spring meeting of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, March n, 1942.

Before I tell you what I think about the subject assigned to me, I want to warn you that most of you don't want to believe me correct, and therefore won't.

f wrote Bernie Barber from Washington that I was sorry for having promised to talk to you today because it would be impossible to bring you a cheerful message.

There are two roads I might take. I could point out that the total dollar volume of building in 1942 would approximately equal 1941 and soar millions above an average year. I could reiterate that there is as yet no prohibition on private residential building and quote Washington official statements that they are anxious to see private construction kept at a high level.

I could tell you of very interesting, even inspiring developments of substitutes for critical materials, such as windows using % lb. of critical metal, furnaces of onethird normal weight, and designed to use coal now and convert to oil or gas later, vitrified bath tubs made of light rveight aggregate, cleverly designed houses offering only minimum comfort now but easily and inexpensively converted after the war into highly desirable homes.

I could enlarge upon the easing of Title 6 regulations and the benefit of the increase to $5400 and extending amortization period from 20 to 25 years.

I could talk enthusiastically about the growing appreciation of real estate and particularly a home as probably the one soundest hedge against inflation.

I could practically guarantee that the farmer will buy as much, or more, lumber than in 1941 and keep right on doing it each year for the duration.

In short, by being a Pollyanna, by skipping lightly over facts and concentrating your attention on the few items that offer hope, I could build up a reasonably rosy and perfectly true story that you might enjoy hearing but which, if you relied upon it as a comprehensive and honest analysis, would completely mislead you.

I am not going to take that road.

The other road is to face the cold, hard, controlling facts, however grim and unpalatable, and try to draw from them sound conclusions as to their probable effect upon you.

If I am to be of any real service to you, it will be be-' cause f somehow find the words to convince and get you to act upon the conviction that we are engaged in a revolutionary war that is going to leave nothing as it was -

that is going to change beyond recognition menmoneyall our thinkingall our conceptsbeliefsprejudiceseverything except our physical structures and may destroy them.

If you reject my conclusions and insist upon believing only what you wish to believe, you will probably swear at me for disturbing your illusions, but I will at least have the satisfaction of having done my honest best to jolt you into doing some real thinking and planning about how best to meet the cataclysmic disruption of your life that is going to result from the impact of this war upon our civilian economy.

Instead of talking about you first, let's examine the underlying key governing facts and then see what the logical effect of them will be upon you.

The end question is, "When will the war be over?" Barring internal collapse of Germany, it is not in sight for sooner than five years. Administration planning is for seven to ten years more war. Hope is that it r,vill not take more than five.

Outstanding fact which will be determining factor in effect on civilian economy is manpower. Hershey says that two million men in armed forces by end of 194210 million shifted from present civilian occupation to war work by end. ol 1942. Between 25 and 30 million ultimately (in 1943 or by middle of 1944),, on direct war work. 55/o of. all gainfully employed persons.

Second basic fact affecting civilian economy during war, and controlling fact of whole economy after war, is debt, which is limitless and determined only by length of war and extent of control of inflation. Present war commitments: 143 billion dollars. Government must borrow over and above taxes received 5O billion dollars between norv and January l,1944.

Predicted annual cash expenditure lor 1942, $58 billion. This is lo/o more than the complete over-all worth of New York State. Cash expenditure already made for war exceeds total wealth of the combined states of \['ashington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arkansas.

Bond sales are sagging. Have been running at less per day since the OCD exposure than they were running in January.

Third in importance in its basic effect on civilian economy is transportation-rubber situation, metals, manpower, and tremendous tonnage of material, control. At New York and San Francisco many docks are now embargoed by the railroads. Rationing of transportation is almost certain before the end of this vear.

A reproduction in port of qn oddress given by Kenneth Smith, president ol the Cclifornio Redwood Associcrtion, before the Spring meeting ol the Lumber Merchcrnts Associotion of Northem Colifornio, held ot the Pclace Hotel, Sqn Frcmcisco, Morch 20, 1942.

Most alarming in its implication is the open effort of the administration to gag the press.

The one thing which is going to do more to bring the fact that we are in this life-and-death struggle is the drastic drop in living standards, even of the rich. That is going to be the result of sharply increased rationing.

There are now 52 production cut orders in effect, rang- ing from orders to cut N/o to orders to completely discontinue manufacture. In spite of predictions made by wishful thinkers and advertising saLsmen, private residential construction is already reduced to a very small volume, and will, in my opinion be completely outlawed. The order already written and rewritten some two dozen times is designed to freeze building materials in dealers' stocks or held in warehouses by speculative builderi, and to require a license before starting any new construction, private or public. It has been held up principally by the chaos caused by sixteen organizations playing for power in the housing picture, and by wrangling over whether attrition would not achieve the end and avoid the poli- tical harassment from farmers, industrialists, realiors, builders, and manufacturers of non-critical materials.

47,W prefab houses contracted. (you may be handling after the war). Government will continue to invade the housing field using failure of private enterprise to provide rental housing as the reason.

Aluminum, copper, steel, plastics, plywoods destined to dominate the housing picture after the war.

What are the probable effects of these things upon the retail lumber business? I told you last October about as well as I can today, but I don't think you were listenittg. I said then:

"No man is long visioned enough to calculate all of the changes which will be wrought upon business by the full impact of a war economy, but the retail lumber_ man is smack in the road of the Juggernaut.

"Private home building in large volume is ,out, for the duration (almost certainly three or more years). Defense housing volume will be good throu gh lg4Z, at least, but will be increasingly concentrated in large volume sales and will be less profitable. Farm busineis is the only kind likely to stay good throughout the war, outside of the lumber requirements of essential war industries.

"Many of our keenest analysts believe it inevitable

that thousands of lumber dealers will fail during the war and the post-war readjustment era. Certainly the yard which relies mainly upon the contractor is in for hard sledding.

"Obviously the dealer in best position is the man who has been selling the consumer. He handles (or controls) nearer to l0o/o of all the material needed. If anyone can go ahead it will be he. Further, he is accustomed to selling, instead of bidding, and he can turn back to the development of new consumer business in small volume sales-the often despised ,,over the counter" trade.

"fn ,California there is a tremendous back yard volume waiting for the enterprising dealer. Most new home owners will have the money and the urge to fence and beautify. Benches, pergolas, lath houses, barbecues, seats, gates, fences, garden materials storage, compost bins, retaining walls, raised gardens, screen houses, terraces, tables, plant shelters, do not need priorities nor use scarce items (except nails, which, I think, are only temporarily scarce.)

"The repair and maintenance market will reward energetic selling for the same reason. Also the remodel market, except as it may be limited by shortages of met_ al accessories.

"The farmer will be a beneficiary of inflation and able to improve his property. Dealers who cater to farm trade have a better opportunity than most city dealers, although heavy defense construction and defense hous_ ing will continue for another year. The so_called 'country dealer' has always been closer to his trade than his city contemporary and will do better under war conditions.

"Whether city specialty yards catering to ,mainten_ ance' or catering to 'industrials' will fare well or ill will depend largely upon the degree of industrial acti_ vity in their cities.

"fn the general retail lumber field, two major types of dealers have been evolving for some time: The 'minimum s€rvice' wholesale type catering on price to large volume contractors, and the .merchant' type selling to the consumer. The war will accelerate this change. Some will learn to sell what can be sold and stick around. Some will decide to wait until the war is overand not last that long.

(Continued on page 24)

(Continued from Page 23)

"Yards with able merchandising minded personnel and owners with exceptional resourcefulness, selling ability, and courage, will be needed to meet the challenge of a war economy. So the answer to what war will do to you lies in how you meet it !"

Recently two surveys were made to try to find out what retail dealers in the middle west and east are thinking and doing. It disclosed that ffi/o to 70/o is farm, remodeling and maintenance, that many thought they could keep going on it, and that many dealers were adding new lines such as wallpaper, housewares, and general hardware. These surveys also revealed a strong trend to direct consumer selling.

A less pleasant confirmation is that since then more than 25 lumber and building materials dealers in California have folded.

The government estimates that 87/" of. all lumber being consumed this year is for war, either directly or indirectly. The peak of buying is expected by June or July-after that volume of consumption is expected to decline progressively and consumption for 1944 and,later to be about 3/7ths of. 1942. Of this, about ffi/o will be for boxes and crating.

What reason do these facts leave for assuming that the retail lum'ber industry will not be badly hurt and even, if the war lasts long enough, practically eliminated. You have been witnessing the impact of war upon 200,000 car and tire retailers; upon San Francisco builders and gold miners. How do you imagine that you are going to escape the impact of the drastic shift of manpower, lowered standards of living, inadequate transportation, draining off of purchasing power, shortage of material, and bureaucratic control of to whom you sell and at what price?

The answer is that you are not. The only question is whether you face the facts and get your feet braced or close your mind to facts and go on expecting tomorrow to be like today until disaster overtakes you.

Most intelligent and well-informed people are concerned about the political and economic consequences of this war. They fearwe may lose our cherished liberties instead of preserving them. Whether warranted or not, these fears are very real.

American business must make absolutely certain that

the democracy we are struggling to preserve will be worth living in when the smoke of battle has cleared.

After we have fiyst made every contribution we can to the winning of the vrar, the highest patriotism rests in doing our level best to keep the regular wheels of our economy tut'ning-to keep everything going that can be kept going compatible with the diversion to war first of energy and effort that contribute to winning it.

We may lose the peace. There is grave danger that we will never in history be rid of the bureaucratic control of business; that we may, and our children may, live under absolute totalitarian control. But even if we know that will be the end result, we still have no choice but to exert every energy and spend every dollar of treasure to preserve at least the forms of our Republic in order to alford the opportunity in some better day to restore the practice and spirit of a truly representative form of government.

'We can win this war only by burning away the fat lethargy of the American soul-only by achieving a stark realism of what all-out war means in sacrifice and work.

We can win the peace only by a courageous acceptance now and for the rest of our lives of the responsibilities of citizenship which we have so long shirked.

If we fail in either then Ichabod will be written on the lintel as the epitaph of the American Way of Life.

Prefabrication With Plywood Answers Ne* Needs of Farmer

Prefabrication, the biggest development in the housing field in 1941, right now is hitting its stride along a new avenue-the sho,p-construction of small plywood farm buildings.

Lumber dealers, both big and little, serving farmers throughout the nation today are building or setting up simple jigs to start forming pre-fitted sections that will go to-

Carefully Prepared Plans

These plans, four for each of the different-use buildings, are adopted from specifications prepared at Michigan State College, Purdue IJniversity, Kansas State College and IJniversity of Wisconsin. The plans, printed in the form of separate construction bulletins for hog structures and poultry houses, are distributed free by Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

Issuance of the bulletins represents the first direct effort of the plywood manufacturers to tell farmers about uses of the big panels which have defi,nite structural advantages. The move is the result of careful studies of farmer's needs for the past 18 months by J. D. Long, Agricultural representative of the Association and former professor of agricultural engineer at IJniversity of California at Davis.

The plans are for these eight structures: an arch-roof hog cot with a floor 8-feet square; a slant-roof hog house 6 by B feet; a peak-roof individual hog house 6 by 7l feet: a slant-roof hog sleeping shed 10 by 12 feet.

A combined brooder house and range shelter with screened ends and l2-foot square; a shed-roof brooder house 10 by l4-feet; a peak-roof brooder house lO to 12 feet and a laying house 4-feet square.

gether on the farm with record speed to provide needed hog cots, brooder houses and similar farm buildings.

This newest ramification of prefabrication-now recognized as the fastest way to build-serves a double purpose:

First, it presents the easiest, fastest way to bolster productive capacities of farms right when our government demands abrupt increases in certain crops in order to "win the war and write the p.eace." The system promises to provide at once the shelter for herds and flocks just as the mass-production of homes has, and is, licking the problem of housing workers concentrated at war industries.

Second, shop-construction of these small, portable buildings which are in big demand offers the lumber dealer opportunity for new business with a fast-selling article to offset any other building curtailment due to the war. The little dealer as well as the line yard can-and is-getting into the field because only limited plant facilities are required for volume production of the small units.

Actually, shop-building of farm structures or parts of them has long been practiced by some aggressive lumber dealers in farm communities. However, the sharrp swing by lumber dealers to this new merchandising plan has developed with the issuance of complete plans for erecting eight different plywood hog and poultry structures.

All specifications were drawn for efificient utilization of the four by eight foot fir plywood panels. Greatest single merit of plywood is strength, and these plans utilize this rigidity thus permitting simple framework. Shop construction will be with panels glued to framework, the system followed by most house pre-fabricators today. This means tight joints, maximum strength, fewer nails, less hardware.

wood, the panels which are bonded with synthetic resin adhesives completely waterproof. (Only the Exterior type plywood should be used wherever exposed to weather or water). The exact grade of this Exterior type is dependent upon the appearance desired; usually the panels sound one side with a utility back are chosen. The laying house is the only one with double-wall construction; on inside walls, of course, the interior or moisture-resistant plywood is used.

Pre-built sections will be given two coats of paint at the lumber yard so the farmer needs only apply the final outside coat after it is erected. The first or priming coat will be applied to both sides of the panel; thus, the building rvhen erected has a clean, sanitary interior. And in plywood farm buildings there are no cracks to harbor germs or insects.

Prefabrication with plywood is doing another important job which is destined to help the farmer and so help the nation. The parts easily can be carted from lumber yard to the farm and then quickly erected. If put together with bolts or screws, they will be demountable. In any event, the shelters are so light in weight they can easily be moved.

industry's product. I.umber is flowing in large volume into cantonments, airports, warehouses, munitions plants, shipyards and related war building.

For the time being the energies of the industrv are absorbed in taking care of this demand and in supplying planking and decking for ships, airplane and pontoon lumber and other special items. Probably while the war lasts there will be strong demand for West Coast lumber for shipbuilding and similar construction requirements. There is also an expanding market for box and crating lumber. The end of the construction phase that is taking the heavy volume of West Coast lumber is, however, in sight. When it is reached, the problem of disposing of low grades will be a serious one.

At present building that carries no war label is gradually drying up under control of critical metals.

The fleet of intercoastal ships and two-thirds of the coastwise California fleet are no longer available to West Coast lumber trade. This loss is a great handicap in the
