There's hardly a soul in the town, you will find Who hasn't some sort of connection to bind His personal profit and happiness through His part in constructing a home just for two.

And every home in the town is the same It's a wonderful work and a beautiful game.

The TOWN is the gainer, as well as the pair Their comfort and ease make them permanent there.

figure of speech he used very effectively. He said that "We are now playing in the Three 'f' League-Indifference, Insolvency, and fnsanity." *{<*

And speaking of interesting speeches, my eloquent and wise friend Coke Stevenson, Lieutenant-Governor of Texas, made one the other day that was brimming full of magnificent word pictures. He was telling how quickly things can happen that change the entire tide of times, and he uttered this splendid paragraph: "Moses was not long at the burning bush, yet he gave to the world the Ten Commandments.

Paul was not long on the road to Damascus, yet hi3 experiences there have inspired the world for nineteen centuries. Christ stood before Pilate for just an hour, but all the Pilates of the world have stood before Christ ever since;

Lincoln stood before the slave block in New Orleans for only a moment, but that moment burst the fetters for a million slaves, and changed the fabric of a nation." Nice talking, eh?

Heard a very masterly ;i;a*r the other day in the person of James A. Emery, distinguished attorney of Washington, D. C. He mixed some excellent humor with his powerfully worded thoughts on business and politics. He told about a visit he made to a great muserun recently to see the reconstructed skeleton of a gigantic prehistoric monster, which, he said, must have been the first Brain Truster. This animal had two brains. At the front end of the spinal cord was one, a very small one; and at the rear end of that spine was another, and very large one. The scientists who reconstructed the monster said that the small front brain was the thinking and directing one; and that the large rear brain was the motor brain, the thing that was responsible for its movements and activities. And, said Mr. Emery, since the motor brain was many times as large as the brain that directed those activities, the animal could run many times as fast as it could think, so it undoubtedly soon came to a sad ending. rl.

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCTIANT (Continued from Page 6)

INTOLERANCE. And what a lengthened shadow of terror that Fifth horseman is now casting over this old world ! *t*

Like The Falls of Lodore, the stock market keeps tumbling down. War scare, we keep reading. Nix. Just the reaction after a spell of reading, and hearing every day about recovery efforts, to take the place of reform. The recovery efforts so far have been principally words. And the guys with cash are settling back in their seats again. To Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau goes the palm for several really helpful suggestions that would undoubtedly hearten business and investors. His idea of holding the old age pension payments to one per cent, instead of increasing them to one and one-half per cent next January first, is a genuine gesture of helpfulness. And he seems to have other ideas of merit. Congress has decided to investigate the National Labor Relations Board. That might help, too, if it resulted in a re-written Wagner Act administered for the benefit of all citizens alike. Not much chance of economy measures. Many minds favor such, but can't find a place to start. And without effectual economy, there can be little hope of tax relief. So, nationally, we struggle on. Not much change in any direction.

***

Not long since I wrote a display editorial entitled "Main Street," the burden of which is that the live lumber merlchant has a splendid potential market within his reach; remodeling Main Street in his home town. The idea came from a speech of H. M. Shackelford, of the Johns-Manville people, that I listened to. My editorial ran in both The GULF COAST LUMBERMAN and The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT. The Cadwallader-Gibson Company, of Los Angeles, Philippine Mahogany specialists, read the editorial and saw in it possibilities. They reprinted thousands of them from the CLM and sent them out together with a letter to their trade, suggesting certain items of Philippine that the dealer might use in remodeling the old and sad-looking stores in the out-moded business districts. Right away they got a lot of returns on the broadside. And one day Bob Osgood, Sales Manager for Cadwallader-Gibson, came in with a telegram in his hand. It was an order from a retail yard in Oklahoma, asking that the materials be rushed as they were to be used for remodeling some buildings on Main Street. Direct results from a practical thought, practically followed up !

***

There are endless services that the wise retail lumber merchant can render his trade. For instance, he should see to it that in building with wood, all items, and particularly those in direct contact with each other, have been dried to the same moisture content. Frequently people who have trouble with the oak fooring in their homes are at a loss to

account for it. So, perhaps, is the contractor who does the building. And they discover that the trouble is that the oak fooring, which has been kiln-dried to a 6 per cent moisture content, has been laid over a sub-foor that contains a

great deal more than that amount of moisture, sometimes 2O to 4S/o, the result being that the oak absorbs moisture from the greener sub-floor and gives trouble very guickly.

This is one of the technical things that the wise and wellinformed lumber dealer can do for his trade, that is, see to it that the right kind of lumber is used in the right place. *{<*

Lumber drying authorities say that lumber should be kiln-dried to the moisture content to which it will be subjected in actual use. This is especially true of lumber to be used in home construction. For example, oak flooring, ceiling, and other lumber used on the interior of homes should be dried to about 6 to 8Vo moisture content. While the studding, framing, joists, and sub-fooring, should be dried to about 12 to l5/o moisture content. The flooring and ceiling should have the lower moisture content because during the winter months the homes are heated, and unless the inside woodwork is dried to a low moisture content it may shrink or prove otherwise unsatisfactory, especially

if steam heat be used. foremost lumber drlng The Moore Dry Kiln ""*r";, authority, has issued a very interesting chart of their own making and based on the experiments of their experts, showing their recommendations ;regarding the moisture content of wood for home building in all parts of the United States. For most of the country they recommend 8/o moisture content for flooring and interior woodwork, and l2/o f.or sheathing, framing, siding, and exterior use. But for the Southern coastal states, East Texas, all of Louisiana and Florida, and most of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and the Carolinas, they recommend ll/o for the interior wood, and l2/o for the exterior, this on account of the higher prevailing humidity. This same content is recommended for the West Coast of California, a narrow strip. For the dry parts of the Western States, the great desert and its surrounding territory, they recommend 6/o moisture content for wood interiors, and 9/o f.or sheathing, framing, siding, and exterior wood.

S. F. BUILDING FIGURES UP

Building permits in March totaled $3,335,196 in San Fran-

cisco compared with $2,167,791 for March 1938.

Total construction for the first three months of 1939 was valued at $6,535,404. For the same period last year permits amounted to $4,529,594.

The greatest gain for the month and the three-month period was made in residential construction and alteration.

Big Crowd to Attend Reveille

The Old Home An old time home stood over the way, Its walls were dingy, its roof was grey; It mourned in the roseate afterglow For the sights and sounds of long ago.

When sunlight rippled across its floors And streamed through hospitably opened doors, When firelight dappled its paneled walls And children romped through its dusky halls.

The city surged round its broken door

With sounds like the ocean's angry roar, The shadows of buildings new and tall Darkened its windows at evenfall; Those who had loved it wandered away Leaving it lonely for many a day, Empty it stood in the rain and the sun, An old fashioned home whose day w-as done.

Remembering days that were bright and glad, The heart of the desolate home was sad; The wind through its dusty rooms moaned low

Like ghosts from the magical long ago.

No one wanted it, nobody came To call it "Home,"-ah, the dear old name !

Ashamed it stood in the shadows grey, A relic there of a bygone day.

There came at last to its weary heart Those who prized it and took its part; They hastened to make it clean and brightA temple of beauty and delight.

The old home thrilled with joy and pride In the midst of the city's restless tide , And the sunlight falls on its polished floors And streams throush hospita'#.ffi:iiiJl.

How Should He Know the Dillerence?

The movie producer had married a socialite, and she had a terrific time trying to break him of some of his favorite methods of pronouncing words. Every time he came home to tell her about the "vunderful pitcher" they were making at the studio, she kindly but firmly corrected him: "It's a picture, my dear, you are making; NOT a pitcher."

Finally she got him to where he very punctiliously used her method of pronunciation, instead of his. About that time he went to San Francisco on business. When he got up to his hotel room, he phoned down to the service department, and very definitely asked: "Vill you please send me hup a picture from ice vater?"

'?uifd Your Home Now" Campaign Washington, D. C., March 30-The National Retail Lum_ ber Dealers Association today threw the full support of its 23,000 membership behind the program of the United States Chamber of Commerce to organize ,,Build your Home Now,' drives in communities all over the United States. fn an announcement to its 28 regional and state associa-

tions scattered throughout the country, the national organi_ zation of building material suppliers urged the cooperltion of material men with local chambers of commerce to promote home building, especially in the low-cost home brackets.

Model for the movement is the New Orleans, La., pro_ motional plan inaugurated by that city,s Association of Com_ merce, which has set a goal of 1,500 new homes at an average

cost of $4,000 during 1939. The campaign which started March 19 will continue for thirteen weeks. The United states chamber of commerce is broadcasting details of this campaign to 400 Chamber of Commerce secretaries in as many communities with the suggestion that similar programs be launched in each.

Commenting on the movement today, Don A. Campbell, of Lebanon, Ky., president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, asserted: "It is through such efiorts as this, that focus public atten_ tion on housing and the opportunities for home ownership, that the building industry can begin to absorb the need for homes in the United States today-a need that has been variously estimated up to 750,000 homes a year for the next five years before a balance between supply and demand can be reached."

Openr Chicago Ofiice Announcement was made this week that The pacific Lumber Company had established separate headquarters in Chicago for the Palco Wool Insulation Division. The new address is 74O-742 Pure Oil Building, 35 East Wacker Drive.

John H. Klass, Eastern sales manager, with Marvin L. Fergestad, sales engineer, are in charge according to Edric E. Brown, manager of the Palco Wool Division oi the com_ Pany.

REAL GRATITUDE

By W. H. McCreary

An Indian Rajah of fabulous wealth accidently fell overboard the ship on his way to England, and was saved by an frishman, a mighty swimmer, who jumped to his rescue.

"What can I do to pay you for saving my life? You have only to ask," said the Rajah.

"Oh," said the Irishman, modestly; "when you come to Dublin you can buy me some golf clubs, and I'll keep them to remember you by."

"Thanks," said the Rajah, "I will."

Two months later they met in Dublin, and the Rajah at once brought up the subject of the golf clubs. "I'm awfully sorry," he said, "and you must think me very ungrateful, but I'm really in terrible trouble. I couldn't buy the Portmarnock Golf Club for love or money, but my secretary

In this dim room his duty days were spent, Between his dogr-eared ledger and the shelf ; Unknown to fame, and happily content With volumes worn and wrinkled as himself.

His eyes grown dull with peering at the print,

His quiet passing gave no slightest hint, What heroes came to welcome him again.

LUCK Luck is ever waiting for something to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes, and strong will, will turn up something.

Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him a legacy. Labor turns out at 7 A. M. with a busy pen or a ringing hammer and lays the fo'undation for a competence.

Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck relies on chance.

Labor on character.

CREDIBLE ADVERTISING

If a manufacturer hires a salesman who, through extravagance or bad statement, through exhibition of bad taste, or for any other cause loses the confiderrce of his customers, that salesman ceases to be of value to his employer.

If advertising in a sufficent number of spectacular cases ceases to be credible to the public, advertising as a stimulous to the distribution of goods will gradually become less of a force in the hands of many manufacturers. f beteve, therefore, that no one manufacturer has the right to participate in advertising that will tend to tear down this structure that has made almost untold contributions to American business.-C. M. Colby, Jr.

Reunion at Poet Laureate's Home April 30

Advertising Campaign

The many friends of Mrs. Adeline Merriam Conner, poet Laureate of the lumber industry, will hold a spring round-up on Sunday April 30 at her home, The Cedars, which has a picturesque setting on the main highway to Downieville, about 13 miles north of Nevada City and within two miles of the old historic mining town of North San Juan. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed in the Apostolic Grove adjoining the house, or indoors in the event of rain. A short informal program will follow the lunch.

Many of the party will stay at the National Hotel, Nevada City, on Saturday evening, where the six o'clock dinner will be followed by a social gathering at which a local authority will tell of the history and romance of the Mother I-ode region. There will be a nine o'clock breakfast on Sunday morning at The Cedars.

Rates at the National Hotel are 92.00 single, g3.00 double,

Launching the biggest sales and advertising cam,paign in the history of the organization, The Celotex Corporation, phicago, Illinois, is making a powerful drive to get its share of building construction business in 1939, according to H. W. Collins, vice president in charge of merchandising.

Opening gun starting ofi the campaign was sounded the early part of March when full-page advertisements apH' w' colling peared in Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Ifouse Beautiful, American lfome and other national consumer magazines.

Following these advertisements carried in national publications a full year's campaign is planned to hit five mar_ kets for business in (1) New Construction, (2) Interior Finish, (3) Roofing. (4) Farm, and (5) Cottage markets.

The Celotex story will be carried to these markets in Architectural, Contractor and Builders, Building and Loan, Banks and Business, Industrial, Trade and Farm papers.

Breadth and size of the campaign is built on a large expected increase in new construction and remodeling ac_ tivity which The Celotex Corporation looks forward to in 1939. According to general business forecasts, the estimates of residential construction will go up from $1,165,000,000 in 1938 to $1,535,000,000 in 1939. Remodeling in_ dicates a rise from $325,000,000 to $375,000,000 for the same period.

E. \(/. Daniels Comments on "Peeler Log"

Bill Before Congress Tacoma, Wash., March 14.-Declaring that the forest industries of the Pacific Northwest find themselves in a precarious situation because of the great export volume of highgrade Douglas fir logs to foreign competitors rvhile an attempt is being made at the same time to maintain foreign markets for manufactured wood products, E. W. Daniels, a leader in the plywood industry and vice-president of the Harbor Plywood Corporation of Hoquiam' Washington, offerecl comment today on the peeler log bill now in discussion before Congress.

"We hold a'ivorld monopoly on 1>lyrvood logs," said Mr. Daniels. "Other foreign rnarkets, formerly taking large quantities of oulplyrvood, have norv prohibited this importation. They send their ships to the North Pacific to fetch our logs, thereby giving employment to their labor.

"Japan is our principal foreign competitor. Wages in Japanese plywood mills average three cents an hour. Our

average wage is 78 cents an hour. No wonder our plywood export trade has reached the vanishing point.

"Our industry is a typical export industry. We have the finest softwood timber in the world, our labor is efficient, and we have the advantage of a very large production to cater to the domestic demand. Our export trade is valuable as a balance rvheel, and given an equal chance of competition with other countries we can hold our own as we have proven through many years of export business.

"This export trade in high-grade Douglas fir logs must stop if our industry is to recover and our labor is to have steady employment. There is no use for our government to secure tariff concessions from foreign governments as long as these foreign nations have free access to our raw material rvhich constitutes our only advantage."

Mr. Daniels pointed out that the export trade of plywood logs "robs our labor of an annual payroll of $1,00O,000."

The "peeler log" bill now before Congress, if passed, rvould prohibit the exportation of Douglas fir plywood logs to foreign countries and also Port Orford cedar logs.

Lumbermen to Build House at New York's

World Fair Washington, D. C., March 3O.-Visitors to the New York World's Fair this year will see a vivid portrayal of the progress of housing, especially low cost housing as developed by private industry to provide better shelter for those in the low-income brackets.

Lowest cost home in the Fairts "Town o{ Tomorrow" will be the lumber industry's demonstration house, an adaptation by World's Fair architects of the one-story house in the National Small Homes Demonstration, a cooperative enterprise of the building industry fostered by the National Retail Lumber Deal- ,, ers Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

As interpreted by architects Ev.ans, Moore and Woodbridge, the house will show the possibilities in utilizing a basic plan developed by leaders in the building industry to solve the low cost house problem, and applying it to an "extensible" home. The alllumber house departs from the National Small Homes Demonstration basic plan only in that it permits the addition of two bedrooms on the second floor as family growth or family budget warrant it.

It is the kind of home that sponsors of the National Small lfomes Demonstration contend can be made available to those of limited income at a cost of less than a dollar a day, with up to 25 years permissible to amortize a mortgage insurable by the Federal Housing Administration.

The plan reveals a charming arrangement of living room, kitchen with dining end, two bedrooms and bath, with a central heating plant. A picturesque arcade connects the house with its one-car g'arage. The exterior architectural treatment shows incorporation of corner windows for variation and also to afford added lighting.

To be built entirely of lumber, incorporating the economy features of dry built construction, the exterior will utilize available patterns of lumber, while the interior will be entirely paneled with wood. A newly developed system

of plank floor construction, by rvhich the underneath of a second floor can also become the beamed ceili.ng of the first floor, is one of the cost-saving principles to be i,ncorporated.

Lumber and building material dealers the country over are cooperating in the building of similar demonstration dwellings as part of the National Small Homes Demo.nstration this year. The program provides both a one-story and two-story basic plan, with a dozen architectural variations for exterior treatment.

WILL MOVE TO NEW LOCATION Paramount Built-in-Fixture Co., Oakland, will move about the end of this year to a new location at 51st and Broadway, Oakland, where they will occupy their own building.

Small Homet Manual Available Washi.ngton, March ZZ'-Another important forward steP in the promotion of small homes is announced by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, who have just published their 1939 Small Homes Manual-"The Best WaY to Achieve Low-Cost Housing is to Build Low-Cost Homes."

The manual, containing 32

pages, illustrates and describes each of the twelve low-cost

homes presented as dem'onstration patterns this year by the National Small Homes Demonstration, as well as the home now being erected at the New York World's Fair in the "Town of Tomorrow." The latter is a slight variation of one of the one-story basic demonstration homes.

The National Small llomes Demonstration is an incorporation of thirty-trvo leading building material dealers cooperating in a joint effort to provide more small homes 'ivithin reach of the lorvest income class and to encourage a greater concentration of effort rvithin the building industry on this type of structure.

The booklet has been printed to further this program and summarizes these efforts. An article on the cost of building a home under the F.H.A. insured mortgage rplan for 15, n and 2l-Year periods is presented in tabulated form. An interesting story dealing with the case for home ownership lists independence, equity and credit as three of thirteen reasons why you should buy and not rent, while the histories of the successtul 1936-37 and 1938 National Small Homes Demonstration programs, and a story on "How to Get the Best in Your Wood Wall" are included.

Plans for any of the homes listed in the manual are available at $1.00 from N.S.H.D. headquarters, 1337 Connecticut Avenue, Washington, D. C.

Vertical Trusses Act as Columns in New Lumber Shed at Red River Plant Vertical trusses, acting as columns, shown in the photograph serve a dual purpose in a dry lumber shed recently built at the Westwood, California, plant of The Red River Lumber Company. These trusses take up the side load eliminating the outside braces usually employed and also carry the trackway for the traveling crane shown at the far end of the shed. At the location of this shed, near the center of the plant, the adjoining ground is occupied by transfer tracks and outside braces could .not be used.

This shed unit is B0 by 500 feet. The traveling crane 65 feet long distributes lumber units the full width of the shed filling i.n the spaces between the vertical trusses so there is no lost space.

Teco connectors supplied by the Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D. C., were used in the construction of roof trusses, vertical trusses and trackway and the Timber Engineering Company of California, San Francisco, was consulting engineering on truss design. The roof trusses are designed to carry a snow load of 55 pounds per square foot. Total number of connectors: 2,&8 2%inch, 14,124 4-inch and 2,496 Gi,nch Split Rings and t,276 4-inch Shear Plates.

This shed receives lumber to be shipped rough as it comes from the dry kilns and supplements storage for surfaced dry lumber and rough dry lumber for remanufacture. The total dry kiln output is 600 to 65O thousand feet daily.
