White Concretellew use for Galaveras White portland cement

This modern building at Ontario, California, the first white monolithic concrete building on the Pacific Coast, was constructed with light colored aggregate and Calaveras White portland c€rnent.

After the forms had been stripped the concrete was cleaned off with water and the beautiful exterior which is shown in the photograph was rrvealed. Thus in white concrete, the finish is a permanent integral part of the structure. Vhen Calaveras White is used, the possibilities of obtaining any pleasing color are unlimited.

How Lumber Looks

Building permits reported by eighty-seven cities of ten western states, Canada and Hawaii showed a 39.3 per cent gain in March, 1937, over March, 1936, according to the western monthly building survey prepared by H. R. Baker & Company.

The twenty-five cities reporting the largest volume of permits in March, 1937, showed a total ol $22,257,6D, a 53 per cent gain over the $L4,54I,177 in March, 1936.

First place was again held by Los Angeles, permits totaling $5,346,043, representing the largest total in several months.

San Francisco was in second place with $2,091,928, Portland third with $1,942,460, Vancouver fourth with $1,754,63O, and Denver fifth with $1,158,364. Then followed Sacramento, Oakland, San Diego, lsrnon, Long Beach, Beverly Hills, Seattle, Glendale, Honolulu, Santa Monica, Fresno, Burbank, Salt Lake *Citl and San Marino.

During the week ended April 3, a total of. L7l down and operating mills reporting to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association produced 1L4,727,3O3 feet. New business, as reported by these mills, was 140,526,W9 feet, and shipments were 118,583,189 feet. The industry produced 72.8 per cent of its average weekly cut during t9269n.

The unfilled order file at these rnills stood at 784,352,143 feet.

Orders taken in the domestic cargo market increased approximately 12,000,000 feet over those reported the previous week due, lumbertnen state, to more steamship space being available in the California trade. Some sales were reported made also for delivery in May in the Atlantic Coast market. Sellers in that trade assert that buying would be at least twice and perhaps three times the present

volume if steamship space to the East Coast were available for current lumber shipment. In the meantime mills are cutting principally on orders taken during the maritime strike and many important sellers are entirely out of that market'

The Western Pine Association for the week ended April 3, 118 mills reporting, gave production as ffi,522,000 feet, shipments 72,037,W feet, and new business 72,5O4,000 feet. Orders were I9.7 per cent over production, and .6 per cent above shipments. Shipments were 19 per cent above production. Orders on hand at these mills at the end of the week totaled 328,470,000 feet. *

The California Redwood Association for the week ended March 27 reported production of 13 mills as 8,506,000 feet, shipments 10,107,000 feet, and new business 10,548,000 feet. Week-end orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 80,172,000 feet.

* :r *

As we go to press, the boom-men at Tacoma are out on strike. One mill has closed and ottrers will probably have to go down due to a log shortage.

The loggers in the Columbia River district have rejected the 7l cents hourly increase offered by the operators and are demanding 1O cents an hour increase.

Building operations in California continue active. Lumber cargo arrivals at Los Angeles harbor for the week ended April 10 totaled 28,7A5,m feet, an increase of 8,000,000 feet over the previous week.

The Douglas Fir, PonderoSa Pine, Sugar Pine and Redwood mills have good order files, and mill quotations are firm.

Construction in L. A. County Shows Gain Furniture Output Highest Since 1929

Building operations in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles county during the past month made a gain of 406 permits and $616,993 worth of improvements over the month of March of last year.

William Fox, chief engineer of the county building department, states that a tot-al of 1493 permits were issued by his office for new, remodeling and repair jobs aggregating an investment of. $1,866,752.

Construction of. 499 new homes to cost a total of $1,123,925 begun during March, was the outstanding feature of the month's building activity.

Seven apartment houses added $n7,ffi to the building total; 506 remodeling and repair jobs added another $233,349, and 36 mer'cantile and industrial buildings accounted for outlay of $128,559 during the month of March.

New York, April 7.-Produ,ction of furniture in 1936, accelerated by the expansion of home building, rose to the highest level since 1929, a survey by Dunn & Bradstreet, Inc., revealed today.

Output was estimated at $6n,726,m, an increase of 40 per cent from the 1936 figure and compared with $948,116,UJO ]n 1926.

Figures for the first two months of the current year indicate continued improvement. Unfi1led orders for January and February were more than double bookings for the same period a year ago, and factory operations gained 36 per cent. Retail sales averaged 10 to 39 per cent higher in January and February than in the two-month period of 1936, while wholesale volume was 30 to 40 per cent larger.

"Aid slighted truth, with thy persuasive strain Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain; Teach him that states of native strength possest, Tho very poor, may still be very blest; That trades proud empire hastes to swift decay, As ocean sweeps the labored mole away; While self dependent power can time defy, As rocks resist the billows and the sky."

Goldsmith's "The Deserted Village.', *'k*

I've never been up in an airplane. About once a year I decide that fying has finally reached a condition where it is about as safe as anything else in life, and think I'll speed up my travels via the air route. And just about that time they begin falling in clusters; and I change my mind.

,1.**

The tremendous and horrifying number of big wrecks in the past few months has tied me to the ground for a long, long time. And these silly statistics they hand you to prove that flying is safer than motoring, fail to budge me. Those flying versus motoring figures always remind me of the eighty-year-old man who claimed old men were better insurance risks than young men because so many more young men die, than old men. :f**

Flying will never be anything that even resembles safe until they can take off and land at extremely low rates of speed. There would seldom be an airplane wreck if they could do that. Trains and Fords seem to supply my traveling needs mighty well for the time being.

Texas follows the example of California in frowning on sit-down strikes. The Governor of Texas says there will be no sit-down strikes in his state; and the Legislature of Texas is working on a law to make sit-down striking a felony. Texas is one place where there will be no sit-down strikes if the authorities do not approve. Five Texas rangers, clothed with the authority they have in Texas, would break all the sit-down strikes in Michigan in three days' time. When a ranger lifts a man up off his sitter, he stays up.

*.*,t

The Governor of Texas remarked caustically that "Texas is not going to go Michigan." Hope the Governor of Michigan, who gets all his instructions from Washington, read that line.

Los Angeles not only established a precedent for law and order and the authority of the courts when it broke its first sit-down strike, but at the same time another powerful precedent was established when the local authorities announced that no man could go on the relief rolls who could get work and wouldn't take it. *<

Which reminds me of how splendidly the White House has spoken and acted with regard to sit-down strikes, property confiscation, defiance of the courts and the laws of the land, etc.?

***

And how strangely it makes a man feel to see, not only an army of professional politicians but likewise every dangerous red radical in this country, going up and down the land hurling insults at our highest court.

**'i

Since the Vagabonds for the last issue were written, I have heard and read much more regarding taxation. I have seen public utility corporation after corporation appear before legislative tribunals to discuss taxation, and ofrer financial statements showing startling figures. For a public service corporation to pay more for taxes than for its entire pay-roll, is NOT the exception; it is almost the rule today. Just think of running a business whose tax bill is greater than its pay-roll!

**t

Yet there is an eternal cry these days against the public utility corporations, raised mostly by the ignorant and the demagogue. The printed statement of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company shows that they pay a tax amounting to approximately two dollars annually on every telephone they have in service.

To a man schooled only in private business enterprises and their problems, the problems of the public utility corporations are stunning. No private enterprise could pay them. Or would if they could. Yet they are eternally decried by the ignorant and the radical.

***

Talking of taxation reminds me of big headlines in to: day's newspapers, stating that Henry Ford had publicly declared he will not treat with labor unions. Because Mr. Ford's labor situation and his tax situation are very, very closely akin. Why? Listen. Do you know that if Henry (Continued on Page 8)

(Continued from Page 6)

Ford were to die today, (and he is past 73 years of age) the Federal inheritance tax on his estate would be so great that in all probability the estate could never be sold for enough cash to pay it. The Ford estate inheritance tax problem is one that has attracted national attention of late.

***

Let us suppose then, that Mr. Ford had a deadlock battle with Mr. Lewis and his big union, as threatened. Was ever a man in better position than Mr. Ford to maintain almost any position he desired or chose to assume? Why, he could simply shut down his immense institutions for ever and for aye, and in the light of what must happen to his estate when he dies, he would be nothing loser. He would put hundreds of thousands of men directly out of emplo5rment for good; and additional hundreds of thousands who make their living distributing, transporting, selling, servicing, financing, upkeeping, oiling, fueling, etc., would likewise be out of employment personally. And, because Mr. Ford is going to lose most of his estate when he dies, anyway, you can easily assume that such action would not cost him or his family a thin dime. There would just be that much less for the Government to collect in inheritance taxes. ***

I am not in Mr. Ford's confidence, and do not pretend to know what he plans when the show-down with Mr. Lewis comes, but I'll say one thing; no man ever held such a whip hand. He has nothing to lose if he locks up his mammoth institution and goes fishing for the rest of his life. But hundreds of thousands of men, and multiplied hundreds of thousands of their dependents, would have to start life all over again. I don't think he'll have to go that far. But it might be well to remember that he is in no position to be crowded.

Unquestionably too *t":. I alu"top*"r,t of emotion has clouded some of the President's Supreme Couf,t plan discussion. But f read some figures the other day which were declared to be authentic and I believe are, that tell an interesting story without any effort at emotion. To offset Mr. Roosevelt's plea that he would have a Supreme Court not so given to vetoing the acts of Congress as the present Court, it was shown that Mr. Roosevelt himself has vetoed exactly 221 acts of Congress in the last four years, while the Supreme Court has set aside acts of Congress just 77 times in 148 years.

*'l*

Four to five decisions of the Court are criticized, yet one

man vetoed 22t acts of the entire Congress in four years time, while in the entire history of this nation the Supreme Court has overruled Congress only eleven times by oneman majorities. Get the idea?

:f:t*

Another statement advanced was contradicting the statement that it is young men that are wanted in the Court. It appears from the figures presented that no President in a century has appointed as many elderly men to the bench as has Mr. Roosevelt. A listing of his appointments shows mostly men of advanced years. The old age claim is something entirely new. ***

These are good times for following the advice of Abraham Lincoln, when he said in his first inaugural address: "My countrymen, one and all, think calmly and well upon this whole subject. Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time. If there be an object to hurry any of you in hot haste to a step you would never take deliberately, that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrated by it." ***

I was much impressed the other day by hearing a very interesting speaker tell from the Bible a story of Paul, the great Teacher. Paul was in Jerusalem, and the Chief Captain sentenced him to be bound and scourged. But to the Centurion who would bind him to the whipping post, Paul asked: "fs it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman?"

And the Centurion ** *ria*ed at the name of Rome, and he told the Chief Captain. And the Chief Captain askeh Paul if it were true that he was a Roman citizen, and Patrl answered "Yea." The Chief Captain marveled at Paul being a free man, and said to him: "With a great sum ob. tained I this freedom." Freedom to him was something he had had to pay through the nose for.

But Paul proudly ""ia to .nl Chief Captain: "BUT I WAS FREE BORN.''

And the speaker, in conclusion, asked this question: "fn the years that are to come, when the question of freedom arises with YOUR children and THEIR children, will they be able to answer, as Paul did-'I was free born'?-or will they have to reply as did the Centu,rion-'With a great sum obtained I this freedom'? That is, if they HAVE freedom."

O Two Curtis Silentite Vindows proved that sticking windows have no place in the modern home.

At Cincinnati, a S-year-old Curtis Silentite unit took a flood bath for five days in the Pierson Lumber Com' pany's office. When they lifted it out of the mucko it workedo as well as before. Stops and inside trim were warped, but the Silentite windowo screen and storm sash remained "stickproof" as ever! And every old' fashioned window in the office stuck like glue!

And that's not all-Rechtin Lumber Company at Evansville, Indiana, can duplicate the flood experience, and the after-soaking perlbrmance of Silentite as well!

Mr. and Mrs. America are waiting to buy stickproof, troubleproof windows. Silentite hae been through dust storms and floods. Who needs further proof that it will work smoothly under normal conditione? And it actually saves owners money-as much aa 25/s of fuel bills.

Silentite has no weights to jam, no cords to break; it's the first major window improvement in over 300 years. It gives Curtis woodwork dealers the edge over competition because itoe a leader for all their lines.

Lumber Industry Adopts Far- Reaching Resolutions

Washington, April 7.-Bringing to conclusion the 35th Annual Convention of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, ten resolutions of far-reaching import were passed in afternoon session yesterday at the Mayflower Hotel, Washington. Election of officers was completed for the year aud opening sessions announced for today of the Forest Conservation Conference to convene at l0 a.m. at the U. S. Chamber of Commerce.

In its resolutions the Association spoke as follows: (1) "Be it resolved that the National Lumber Manufacturers Association does hereby protest against the enactment of any legislation to increase the personnel of the Supreme Court and does most earnestly petition all Senators and Representatives in Congress to oppose the same."

(2) That "trade agreements and tarifi agencies of the Government, making findings that affect the welfare of our forests and forest extension, should seek to increase the export outlets for forest products and thereby encourage reforestation measures by commercial forest land owners and should encourage action toward these objectives on the part of other agencies of the Federal Government."

The Association considers that "reasonable trade reciprocity as regards forest products calls for protection and utilization of present and potential capacities of our forest Iands to produce timber; for export outlets for production of lumber available in surplus; and restriction of imports to those qualities of forest products which are not readily available from domestic sources."

(3) The Association asks that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States promptly and thoroughly study the legal status of international preferential tariffs, their effects on our foreign trade, and the extent and adequacy, under present Federal law, of protections to our commerce against discrimination resulting therefrom ; and publish its findings.

(4) "That any legislation designed to provide housing for low income groups where government subsidy may be regarded as necessary or advisable should contain adequate and definite safeguards against competition with housing which can be economically provided by private industry and privately financed."

Recommendations of approval for the affiliation with the

National Lumber Manufacturers Association of the Veneer Association and the Southern Hardwood Producers. Inc.. were accepted. Delegates were appointed to attend the Forestry Conservation Conference, opening today at the U. S. Chamber of Commerce Building.

He was a hard-working, studious young m4n, and he married a butterfly type of girl, very society minded. And all too frequently when he got home at night, tired and ready for a restful evening before his fireside, she had other, and very different plans. He, of course, grinned and bore it.

One night he came in from the office, particularly weary after a very trying day, and as soon as he got his nose inside the door his wife said: "Flurry, dear, and get your evening clothes on. 'We're taking some folks to dinner and the theatre, and then we're going to do some dancing."

So he got into his dress suit and pumps, got out the car, loaded his wife in it, and started off. Within two minutes after they left the house a terrific storm started; and two minutes later they felt the sickening bump-bump of a flat tire. He stopped, got out in the storm with dl his good clothes on, and started to investigate. His sweet wife put her face to the window, and in honeyed tones inquired:

"Dear, can I get out and help you?"

He said, "No, honey, you mustn't do that. It's raining hard, sweetheart, and it's muddy and slippery, and you might fall and break your BLANKETY BLANK NECK."

Ten-Year Building Record Set

Inglewood, April 1.-Building figures here for March totaling an even $300,000 are the largest for more than ten years, according to City Building Inspector Leftwich.

Weyerha euser Announces Installment Note Purchase Plan for Repairing and Remodeling

Lumber dealers will be able to continue to sell repairing and remodeling on the monthly payment basis under a new plan announced by the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, although Congress did not renew Title I of the FHA Act which expired on April 1.

Allied Building Credits, Inc., a corporation organized for the purpose, will purchase from lumber dealers installment notes meeting certain requirements which parallel closely the requirements established under Title I.

According to the prospectus, the type of work to be covered includes repairs, alterations or additions upon improved real property; private garages, apartment garages and other service buildings erected in connection with existing complete structures; portable structures and equipment, such as shelving, booths, cabinets, counters, etc.; heating systems, electric wiring and plumbing systems, when a part of a general remodeling or repairing job; also the attaching and remodeling of already existing major structures to unimproved sites, including the cost of excavating and foundations.

Notes covering new construction not necessary to a major structure upon the same site (new small homes and summer cottages) or portable household equipment will not be purchased.

Unsecured notes may run from six months to three years. Secured notes up to five years. Maximum amount is $2000. Discounts at annual rates range from 4.616 per cent to

HO L LY\rOOD

5.825 per cent from the face of the note, depending upon maturity dates. All acceptable notes are purchased "without recourse."

The dealer procedure is said to be exceedingly simple and the service even broader than was available under Title I.

Early in December, Weyerhaeuser customers were advised by F. K. Weyerhaeuser that negotiations were then under way which would enable them to continue to sell repairing and remodeling on the installment basis regardless of what happened to Title I on April 1.

"We have been actively interested in the whole subject of installment selling in the lumber yard from its inception under Title I," said Mr. Weyerhaeuser. "It is only natural that we should continue to give it increased attention in vierv of our satisfactory experience in the field. We regard such a service not only as a valuable asset to our customers but almost as a necessity. It is solving so many serious problems for lumber dealers that we feel obligated to provide facilities which will gain for them the greatest possible returns for its use. Installment buying has become a fixed habit with the American people. It seems to meet their needs. Seventy-six industries today make it possible for people to buy their goods on the monthly payment basis. Certainly nothing the consumer can buy should be acquired more easily or paid for more conveniently than the repairing and remodeling of his home. It brings new sales opportunities to the lumber dealer and makes it possible for him to render a highly important service to the community."

General offices of Allied Building Credits, Inc., are located at St. Paul, Minn. Branch offices have been established at Newark, N. J.; Tacoma, Wash., and St. Paul for servicing the three zones in which they are located. Detailed information was released to dealers April 1, and the plan is already in operation.

Redwood Named California State Tree

California's glorious Redwoods are now not only the State's contribution to the natural wonders of the world, but are the official state trees by legislative enactment.

Fills

Sponsored by the State Tree Committee of the Native Sons of the Golden 'West, the enacting measure was introduced in the state senate by Senator J. J. Hollister of Santa Barbara. It rvas passed unanimously in the Senate and adopted later by the assembly. Governor F. F. Merriam signed the measure.

The motive behind the bill was simply to direct attention to the unique characteristics and qualities of Redwood, and to stimulate a greater interest in its beauty, its usefulness and its value to California.

Speaking before the Senate, Senator Hollister declared: "Among our native trees no species is more deserving of such recognition than the Redwood. It is the tallest known living thing on earth; its natural distribution is limited almost wholly to California; it has been a most important asset in the building of our State; it is being grown successfully in parks and gardens throughout most of California and in many parts of the world; it is the most distinctive, the most stately and most beloved of all of our native trees. I therefore urge that it be designated officially as the California State Tree."

Short Lengths lrom the Retail Yards

"Btlco" Celebrates Second Anniyersary in New Modern Yard

Brush Industrial Lumber Co. of Los Angeles, wholesale distributors of hardwoods and softwoods, celebrated their second anniversary on April I, 1937. When the company started in business, their first yard was at 901 East 59th Street, and they remained at this location until January 1, 1937, when they moved to their large, new, modern plant at 59O1 South Central Avenue.

The new yard has a frontage of 25O feet on South Central Avenue, and runs 150 feet in depth on the 59th Street side. The plant is enclosed by a high fence, attractively painted, on which the name of the firm and the lumber products handled is printed in large letters, which are visible for a long distance.

The office building stands at the corner of South Central Avenue and 59th Street and contains the general sales and private offices. These are very conveniently arranged and the private office is especially pleasing in appearance'

Two lumber storage sheds have been built, having a combined capacity of a million feet. A1l lumber carried in stock is under cover.

The shed housing the hardwood stocks is 100 feet long' The end of this shed, facing South Central Avenue, displays a novel advertising idea. The center portion includes three large panels made of No. 2, No' 3, and Select Knotty Pine,

the boards being 1x10 and 1x12 inches in width with 792 detail. No. 2 and No. 3 Common Red Cedar boards in random widths were used on the remainder of this end of the shed. Above the panels is printed "Knotty Pine and Cedar Paneling" and on each panel is printed the grade of lumber used. People passing the yard can see at a glance the kind of lumber and the grades used in making the panels. This merchandising suggestion has brought many new customers into the company's office.

Extending along the rear side of the yard is another shed where Ponderosa and Sugar Pine is stored; this is Ushaped. The main part is 150 feet long, with 50-foot extensions at each end, giving the shed a total length of 250 feet. This is also the unloading shed and a spur railroad track running along the side has ample space for five cars to be unloaded at one time.

J. A. (Jack) Brush, president and general manager of the Blush Industrial Lumber Co., is rvell known in Southern California lumber circles. His entire business career has been spent in the lumber industry, except for the period he vuas in the regular army during the World War, at rvhich time he was in command of a machine gun company. Jack is a native of Pennsylvania. The families of both his father and mother have been connected with the sawmill

and wholesale lumber business for the past four generations. Before coming to California Jack followed lumbering in Maine, the Lake States and the Northwest. Upon his arrival in California he was employed by The Red River Lumber Company at Westwood as a lumber inspector. In 1924 he came to Los Angeles and for three years was a salesman for the Hammond Lumber Company. He then went with the W. E. Cooper Lumber Co. as a salesman, later becoming sales manag'er, and when he resigned to go into business for himself was manager of their Ponderosa and White Pine Department.

Mrs. J. A. Brush is secretary-treasurer of the company. Rex Kratz, who has been associated with the lumber business in Los Angeles for many years, is the office and credit manag'er. Bill Duggan, with several years of lumber experience, is yard superintendent.

Gerald G. Gale is sales representative, calling on the industrial trade. He has been selling to this trade in the Los Angeles territory for the past fifteen years.

Bill Morter recently joined the company's stafi, and is also calling on the industrial trade.

Guy Stoddard specializes in Ponderosa and Sugar Pine and calls on the sash and door plants, planing mills, and retail lumber yards. He was formerly with the Lamm Lumber Co., Modoc Point, Oregon, in the capacity of a lumber inspector.

Mr. Brush has surrounded himself with a fine organization, and the company has made rapid strides in its first two years of business. He is a strong advocate of grade-

Lord, let me never tag a moral to a tale, nor tell a story without a meaning. Make me respect my material so much that I dare not slight my work. Help me to deal very honestly with words and with people, for they are both alive. Show me that as in a river, so in a writing, clearness is the best quality, and a little that is pure is worth more than much that is mixed.

Teach me to see the local color without being blind to the inner light.

Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real.

Keep me from caring more for books than for folks, for art than for life.

Steady me to do the full stint of work as well as I can; and when that is done stop m€; pay what wages Thou wilt, and help me to say, from a guiet heart, a grateful Ainen.-Henry van Dyke.

BOARDERS

Under the cherry tree I spread

Pieces of apple, crusts of bread-

A whir of wings, and the boarders come

Down from each cozy treetop home.

A cardinal flutters his plumage red, Whistling "I never did care for bread.

Change the menu if you want me

To keep my lease on your maple tree."

So I look in the bird books and try to find

What each boarder has in his mind.

For I want to keep them-they're splendid pay !

As they sing for their breakfast every day.

WAS IT NICE?

A general and a colonel were walking down the street. They met many privates, and each time the colonel would salute he would mutter, "The same to you."

The general's curiosity got the better of him, and he asked:

"Why do you always say that?"

The colonel answered:

"I was once a private and I know what they are thinking."

HE KNOWS HIS MANNERS

A Cockney merchant had made a lot of money and decided to spend some of it on a castle in the Highlands of Scotland. On the first evening, the butler approached him and said:

"No, thanks," was the casual reply, "but you can take 'em to the other room' and I'll read'em liter."

Redwood Sales Helps in Big Demand

Spring has come-and with it almost unprecedented interest in gardens, flowers and general beautification of homes and their surroundings.

Retail lumber dealers declare that fences, gates, trellises, garden furniture, window boxes, ledges, pergolas and arbors are in greater demand than in any recent season, and the majority of their customers are interested in quality materials. Here is a two-edged market for lumber and paint.

As further proof of this interest, the California Redwood Association three months ago prepared a series of ten colorful sales helps for distribution by retailers. These covered a wide range of consumer interest, with a total distribution of more than 25O,00O copies and calls for another quarter million.

The two sales helps which led them all were "Gardens to Live In" and "Redwood Fences That Picture Frame the Ilouse." Fourth in circulation was a folder entitled "Flowers Can Be Part of the House."

Special interest is being shown in the redwood industry's new merchandising idea for fences, the Redwood Picket Pack, in which picket fencing is sold in units of 10 lineal feet, wrapped in attractive bundles, ready to be applied.

\^/trSTERN PINE KEEPS ITS LANDS PRODUCTIVE

Portland, Oregon,-"The Western Pine Industry wants the public to know r,r'hat it is doing to keep its lands productive and to assure western communities of a stable forest resource," said Clyde Martin, Forest Engineer for Western Pine Association, in an interview.

"In order to accomplish this we.have just issued a 24page pictorial story of the forestry work now being carried on by members of our Association.

"This is a free booklet, devoid of any advertising matter, which we will be glad to send to any one in the United States who is interested in forestry. Without knowledge and understanding of forest problems on the part of the public, there is little hope of developing sound state ind national policies. And without these, private management will be impossible as a business enterprise.

"So we wish to take the people into our confidence," said Mr. Martin, "place our card-..face up on the table and rely on the common sense of the average American to produce a workable answer to the economics of forestry."

A copy of the booklet may be obtained by writing the 'Western Pine Association, Yeon Bldg., Portland, Oregon.
