How Lrumber Lrooks

Approximately 130,0@,000 feet of Fir and Pine lumber was purchased by the office of the chief of Army engineers at Portland in a four day session that started April 1.

The auction was in charge of Major James C. Stowers. Robert Bratsch was chief auctioneer and he was assisted by Michael Hyman, James T. Flewharty and Earl L. Marlor,r'. There were about 16O bidders.

All the lumber was to be delivered within 45 davs.

Seattle, Washington, April lO, 1942.--:The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in March (4 weeks) was 170,487,W board feet, or 93.3 per cent of estimated capacity, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 189,713,0n board feet; shipments, 185,590,000. Weekly averag'es for February were: production, l&,495,W board feet (83.5 per cent of the I976-I9D average); orders, 177,517,W; shipmpnts, 173,005,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 891,482,0CI board feet at the end of March; gross stocks, at9D,7Z2,Offi.

The key to the West Coast lumber situation is the total war demand, which is growing week by week and is overtaxing ihe industry's ability to ,produce. Continuing war requirements for highest grade and special lumber items. while increasing requirements for structural grades going into war construction in place of steel, form the bulk of demand. The concentrated effort of the industrv todav is

to sustain the war burden placed upon it, in log and lumber production and the handling of priorities. Every other element of the West Coast lumber situation has become unimportant.

Lumber deliveries by water into California in February as reported by the Pacific Coast Lumber Carriers' Association, San Francisco, (seven companies reporting)., totaled 19,66,6,10O feet.

Deliveries to the I'arious ports were as follows:

The Western Pine Association for the week ended April 4, 96 mills reporting, gave orders as 95,825,0@ feet, shipments 77,n7,mO feet, and production 61 ,2@,W feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 380.101.000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the rveek ended April 4, 105 mills reporting, gave orders as 41,321,000 feet, shipments 34j97,m feet, and production 28,169,0O feet. Orders on hand at the end of the rveek totaled 181.788.000 feet.

King Hassan, well beloved, was wont to say, When aught went wrong, or any project failed, Tomorrow friends, will be another day, And in that faith he slept, and so prevailed. New day, new hope, new courage! Let this be, O soul, thy cheerful creed ! What's yesterday, With all its shards and wrack and grief, to thee? Forget it, then ! Here lies the victor's way.

-James Nuckham.

As these lines are being typed, the saddest chorus my ears have ever heard is coming through the open window from the street below. For right this minute the newsboys are calling out a refrain that will cause every American heart to sicken, "Bataan has fallen." Nothing in the first World War ever carried any such burden of sorrow to our people as this. For the long, heroic struggle was all in vain. Words are vain things in such a time as this. The heart of the nation turns cold with horror. The people's lips are speechless with agony.

I listened the other U", ** " splendid gentleman who knows much of war from personal experience, addressed an audience of lumbermen on the subject of patriotism. He told of seeing two French soldiers during the first World War, half frozen in a trench, both wounded, crouching in frozen mud and ice while the shells burst over their heads. And one said to the other-"Ifow you feeling, pierre?" And the other replied: "I'd feel all right if I knew the folks back home could hold out."

And that, he said, is the spirit of all our fighting men. They aren't worried about themselves, or about the dangers that face them in this horrid thing called war. What they are worried about is the folks back home. So, said this speaker, Col. Ike Ashburn, our biggest job-those of us

who do not go forth to fight-is to carry on back here so that the boys out there will have nothing to worry about Keep the morale high, keep the flag waving, and be sure that the boys out there know it. The family and friends of the fighting men should keep ever in mind the thought that it is THEIR duty to send nothing but optimistic messages, convey nothing but helpful impressions to the boys'in the fighting ranks.

And that advice is not "lr"l.ni", to be taken lightly. All too many of our boys in uniform leave behind them parents who do nothing to build up and hold up their morale, because they, themselves, are so downcast. Which is all wrong. Of course it's easy to sit back and say to another man"You shouldn't take on so about your boy going fs q731"but nevertheless it is a fact that the boy in the ranks who has to worry about how his folks are feeling and how they are taking the situation, has a burden to carry that should never be heaped upon hina.. He's got a big enough job without that additional burden.

As this is being *riaa.rr*"rrithJr epochal piece of news is before the building industry. The Government has just issued and placed in immediate effect the long-predicted order freezing all new construction in the entire country, with the exception of actual war needs. Minor repairs and improvements to existing buildings is all that will be permitted withou.t special order. Details of the new restrictions will be found elsewhere in this issue. The lumbermen will need no suggestion on our part to sit down and thoroughly study and digest them. This order afiects every manufacturer and retailer of building material in the entire country, regardless of the character of the material. It affects every building architect, contractor, laborer, artisan, and every man and woman in any capacity who is employed in any department of the building industry. ft therefore (Con,tinued on Page 19)

Haft Called on Non-Essentiaf Construction

Washington, D. C., April 9, 1942_'the War production Board today called a halt to non-essential construction.

Effective immediately, Conservation Order L-41 prohibits the start of unauthorized construction proiects which use material and construction equipment needed in the war eftort. lt also places all new publicly and privately financed construction und.er rigid control, except for certain strictly limited categorles.

The action was taken by the WPB because the war requirements of the United States have created a shortage of materials for war production and construction. It is-in the national interest, the Board stated, that all construction which is not essential, directly or indirectly, to the successful prose- cution of the war and which involvei the use of labor. miterial or equipment urgently needed in the war efiort, be'deferred for the duration of the emergency.

Many- of the same nrateriali, such as iron, steel and copper, are used by both essential and non-essential construction. incl the same materials are largely used for war production. Since there-is not enough-of these materials for both war production and for less essential use, the order, in effect, alloiates these materials away from un-necessary construction, and into ships, planes, tanks, guns, defense housing and other essential pioduction.

This step goep qqch further than the SPAB policy announcement of Oct. 9, 1941. In that announcement, if r,r,as made cle-ar that no- priority assistance would be given to non-essential construction. In today's order, howeverl it is providecl that no, construcfion may. be started (except in a iew specified cases) without permission.

..Equally binding up.on property owners, builders and sup- pliers, the order prohibits not only the start of construction in most categories,, but also the withdrawal from inventory and the purchase, sale or delivery of any material for use in such construction unless expressly authoiized by the War production Board.

_ The order specifically provides that no residential construction except for maintenance and repair work may be started without permission if its estimated cost is $500 or niore. Similarly, no new agricultural construction may be started if the estimated cost is $1,000 or more for the particular building or gr^olect involved. No other constructionl including commercial, industrial, recreational, institutional, highwayl roadway, sub-surface and utilities construction, whether publiclv o_r privately.financed, may be initiated without permiision if the cost of the project amounts to $5,000 or more.

.Ih. computing_ such costs, the amount spent on the project within 12 months of the date of beginning construction, and subsequent to April 7,1942, is included. -

Specific types of co_nstruction, however, are necessarily exempt from the provisions of the order. These include:-

l. Projects which will be the propertv of the Armv. Navv. Coast Guard, Maritime Commisiion and certain otnti tisted agencies of the Federal Government;

2. Projects to reconstruct or restore, residential propertv damaged or-destroyed on or after Januarv I, 1942,' bv nr6, flood, tornado, earthquake or the pdblic enemy.

3. Projects_of the -tyqe- restricted or contiolled by provisions of the orders of the M-68 series, which cover the-produc- tion and distribution of petroleum.

It was emphasized, however, that the order does not affect ordinary maintenance and repair work to return a structure to sound working condition without a change of design.

Officials charged with the administration of the'L-4l order are considering a plan to issue to authorized projects an

emblem or insignia to be conspicuously. posted on.the job to show that the construction has been -approved by the War Production Board.

Although the -order lpplies only to construction not yet commenced, projects_ already under construction are being carefully examined by the War Production Board on ai individual basis. Such projects may be stopped if the scarce materials to be used in them can be pirt to more effective use in the war program.

Where priority assistance is eranted by the War Production Board, authority to commence construction will be issued by the Director of Industry Operations on appropriate forrns of orders in the P series.

_ These include preference rating orders of the P-14 series, P-19 series, P-4I, P-46, P-55, P-98, P-l10 and P-l15. (See attached Schedule A for types of Construction). Preferince ratings extended on PD-l or PD-IA forms or by any other P order than those listed in the L-41 order do not constitute authorization to begin construction.

Facilities of the Federal Housing Administration have been made available to the War Production Board in the administration of this order and applications for authority to start construction will be filed with the local offices of the F'ederal Housing Administration on Forms PD-200 and PD-200A, copies of which may be obtained at any of the district War Production Board offices or at any local office of the Federal Housing Administration. The public is urged to file only emergency applications during the next month, as it is antitipated-that authorization will be given only for emetgency projects. Authority to begin construction will be grantedonly wtren ttre design and specifications conform with- the standirds established for the minimum use of critical materials, and no materials will be used on the project that do not conform with the conditions of the authorization granted to begin construction.

On the basis of criteria established by the-Director of Indq_stry Operations of the War Produciion Board, the local officer of the Federal Housins Administration will decide whether or not the project is eligible for recommendation to the War Production Board. If tfie project is deemed eligible, the application will be_ forwarcled by-the Federal Housing Administration to the administrator of the order for finai'consideration.

. If .the applicatign is denied by the local Federal Housing Administration office, based on itre Wpg criteria, provisioi is made for an appeal to an appeals board to consiit of the administrator of the order, a representative of labor and a third member who will represent the end product branch of the War Production Board within whose iurisdiction the class of project or construction would fall.

A shortsighted dealer might obiect that he's losing a good customer when he sells him longlived lumber. But no customer is "good" unless he's satisfiJd with what you're selling him, and he becomes dissatisfied with all wood construction if he has to make frequent replacements.

Give him a protected product for his hard-service requirements and he'Il use more wood to gain its other advantages: convenience and speed in erection, light weight, strengrth and resilience. That's the story we're telling businessmen in advertisements like this one; Wolmanized Lumber gives wood construction long life.

H. R. Northup Comments on Conseryation Order No. L-41

H. R. Northup, secretary-manager of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, commenting on Conservation Order No. L-41, the purpose of which is to prevent the start of " . all construction which is not essential. directlv or indirectly, to the successful prosecution of the *ut and which involves the utilization of labor, material, or construction plant urgently needed in the war effort . ," states:

This Order Does Not "Stop Building" and

Does Not "Freeze" Dealer Inventories in the Ordinary Sense of Those Words

You will note that the Order is now a general restriction on building including all building materials, labor and construction plant, rather than an order restricting the use of metals, as originally planned.

This Order has been in the course of preparation for three months. Its probable contents have been the subject of the wildest type of rumor, and the entire construction industry has been in a state of utmost uncertainty as to the course of its future activities.

Restriction-Prohibited Construction : Section IO75.l (b) states:

"No person shall, after the date of issuance of this order, Begin Construction, or order, purchase, accept delivery of, withdraw from inventory, or in any other manner secure or use material or construction plant in order to Begin Construction" . except in certain classifications without first obtaining authorization to do so from the War Production Board.

"Begin Construction":

Note the definition under paragraph (6) Definitions. Previous drafts of this Order had indicated that onlv construction projects which already had the foundations coinpleted could proceed. The definition indicates that, if the construction is already initiated by incorporating into such construction material which is an integral part of the job, construction has "begun."

Where construction has "begun," the job may be completed, so far as this Order is concerned. The War Production Board states that there will be no assurance that a project deemed non-essential to the war effort will not be stopped, if the scarce materials to be used in that job can be put to more efiective use in the war program. In making this statement, however, we believe the War Production Board does not mean it to apply to the type of project which the average retail lumber dealer or his builder would have under construction, namely, small homes, farm buildings, and other structures of this type. The Board, we believe, means, for example, that if there'is a moving picture theatre or country club under construction, using structural steel and other scarce materials, such construction might be stopped, because it is, in truth, non-essential and is utilizing materials needed elsewhere.

What You CAN Build in ANY Area:

In explanation of this Order it seems best to list the types of construction not prohibited, rather than the types which are. We are, therefore, listing below the types of

Men With Long Memories

BY JACK DIONNE

A mqn wqs once discoursing io a group on the subiect oI human ncrture, humcrn beings, cnrd their lcrulis cnd lrcrilties. He scid thcrt when trials ccone clong is when the Iiber oI the mcn shows up; thct big men show their bigmess, crnd smcll men their littleness. A rcilrocrd mcn in the crowd spoke up: "Yep. Thct's right. The smcller ihe stction, the bigger the crgent."

It's <r fcct thcrt trying times nol only "try men'a souls," cs Tom Paine so brilli<rntly stcted it during the Revolutionqry Wcr, but it likewise brings out the best cnd the worst in them. It is fire thct demonstrcles fiber.

These are times when we hecrr c lot ol tclk lrom lumbennen about lumbermen. We heqr cr lot ol tclk, pcrrticulcrly, Irom retcril dealers about lheir sources ol supply. They speck olten of Scrles Mcrncrgers, Sometimes these remcrrks are highly cornplimentcry. Sometimes they cre not. One colored boy told cnother that he had been riding horsebcrck lor the first time in yecrs. "Did il mcke you' hcidcrche?" crsked the second boy. "The opposite-ius' the opposite," scid the lirst.

And so it is with this subiect. Some ol ihe decrlers who tell us their tqles oI woe crnd unrequited business crllectioru specrk very dispcrcgnngly crbout some of their Sales Mcrncrger lriendg They scry thei hcrve shorl rnemories. They scry old crligmments, cnd old crrcngemeats, and old relctionships seem to count for nothing, cmd thct some oI the boys hcve become crbitrcry cnd hcughty, to stcte the ccse mildly. One retciler writes ua:

"A Scles Mcrncrger todcy ccrn sit crt the end of tihe green chcrin crnd <rlloccrte every loot oI lumber the mill mcrkes. II he's q smcrll man, the situcrtion spoils him, cnrd he shows it in the wcy he trects his old customers. Some of them cre grect guys' and in spite oI conditions tretrt their old customers with every courtesy thcrt conditions will crllow. That's cll crny dealer asks, is lcrir trecrtment. It is well lor both the thoughtless <rnd the thoughilul scrlesmen to remember thct no mcrtter how long the roqd there is alwcrys cr turning sgoner or lqter, crnd that memories crre long."

This is cr subiect thct long diEcussion would not help. Humcnr nqture being human ncture, there will clwcys be men who will become thoughtless when things come very strongly their wcy; and there will clwcys be rren who become even more thoughdul oI iheir lriends under thoee conditions. It is no wcrste ol spcce, however, to remind <rll men in the lumber business thqt in times like these it is the better pcrl ol wisdom to be pcriiculcrly mindlul of the other fellow<nd ihct of course goes lor every mcn, whether retail or mill<rd that the reclly wise mqn will lecrn over bqckwqrds to grcrsp the viewpoint oI the other lellow, and nrcke crllowance therelor.

Thus there will be lewer wounds to hetrl qnd lewer grudges to lorget in ihose dcrys thqt crre coming sometime, when business will <rgcdn qssume something oI c bqlqnce between supply crnd demcrnd-between buyer crnd seller.

Beccruse men who consider themselves ill-treated, invcricbly demonstrcte long memories.

construction jobs which may proceed without prior approval of the War Production Board:

(1) Military Construction: Any construction which will be the property of the Army, Navy, United States Maritime Commission, the Panama Canal, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Coast Guard, Civil Aeronautics Authority, or the Office of Scientific Research and Development.

(2) Residential: (See Definitions (a) (3)). Any residential construction with a total estimated cost of less than $500.00 may be built.

The construction, howevet, is limited to $50O.00 in any future twelve-month period.

(a), Remodeling Jobs (as distinguished from maintenance and repair jobs) may be undertaken. Example: Adding a porch, a new concrete walk, and so on.

(b) Private Garages and other structures providing accommodations normally associated with residential construction may be built.

(c) Reconstruction or Restoration of Residential Construction: Residential construction damaged or destroyed after December 31, 1941, by fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, act of God or the public enemy may be rebuilt.

(d) Defense Housing (in critical areas only): Defense housing (publicly or privately financed) covered by preference ratings and certificates listed on Schedule A of the Order is exempted from the restrictions. See paragraph (7) (i).

(3) Agricultural Construction: (See Definitions (a) (4)).

(a) Any farm building, structure, or project having a total estimated cost of less than $1,00O may be built.

In any future twelve-month period, all work on any particular building must be limited to $1,000.

(b) Residential construction on the farm is subject to the same lirnitations applying to other residential construction.

(4) Other Restricted Construction: (See Definitions (a)

(5)). In general, this covers commercial, industrial, recreational, institutional, highway, roadway, sub-surface and utilities construction, and is permitted, provided the total estimated cost of the construction is less than $5,000.

In any future twelve-month period, all work on anv particular building must be limited to $5,000.

(5), Mining Construction: Buildings, structures or projects used directly in the discovery, development or depletion of mineral deposits may be built.

(6) Production and Distribution of Petroleum: Construction relating to the production and distribution of petroleum may be built, subject to the restrictions and

controls provided by the M-68 series of orders dealing with oil and gasoline.

This series of orders relates to necessary new construction and necessary maintenance and repair of existing construction.

The erection of new filling stations is already prohibited under other orders.

(7) Permits for Other Construction: Paragraph (7) under Prohibited Construction permits construction carrying preference ratings listed on Schedule A, and also provides a means whereby application may be made for an order specifically authorizing construction not accorded priorities assistance, and not otherwise permitted by this Order because in excess of the cost limitations set by the Order.

It is our judgment, where a legitimate need for the prohibited construction can be shown, and particularly where dealers have the .materials necessary for its construction, application should be made for a permit to begin construction. For instance:

(a) Residential Construction: Where need can be shown for the erection of a small home, and whether or not the dealer has materials on hand with which to build this home, we believe application should be made. (The Government's defense housing program does not fulfill the defense housing requirements.)

(b) Where the erection of a farm production building is required costing more than $1,000 and need can be shown, we again believe dealers should apply for permission to begin construction.

(c) We believe this same procedure should be followed in the case of any building of any type lvhich exceeds the limitations of this Order, and for which need can be shown by dealers and builders. Naturally, in making the above recommendations, we are thinking only of construction projects where a legitimate need exists, and the need for urhich can be honestlv and fairlv shown.

Costs:

Please note particularly the definition of costs, paragraph (a) Definitions (7). The cost limitations set for the various types of construction permitted include all costs incident to the job, as indicated in the definition, and do not refer merely to the cost of critical materials going into the job. They include the cost of all materials, labor, and so on.

Maintenance and Repair :

Maintenance and repair, as defined in paragraph (a) Definitions (8) and (9) are completely exempted from the Order under paragraph (a) (2).

Prohibited Deliveries :

Note particularly paragraph (c) which places responsi- bility upon the dealer if he knows or has reason to believe materials are to be used upon jobs constructed in violation of the terms of this Order.

Orders or Certificates Not Constituting Authorization to Build:

Note paragraph (e) of the Order, which states that the assignment of preference ratings by PD-1 or 1A certificates, or any order other than those listed on Schedule A of this Order, do not constitute authorization to begin construction.

Method of Application for Specific Authorization to Begin Construction:

Please note particularly paragraph (f) and its sub-paragraphs (I), (2L and (3), dealing with the question of securing specific authorization for building construction projects not otherwise permitted by this Order"You will note the differentiation between jobs requiring priorities assistance and those where materials are available and not requiring priorities assistance.

The Construction Division of the War Production Boarrl is now formulating plans to administer this Order, and you will be advised promptly as to the procedure to be followed as soon as their plans are clarified.

It is understood that field offices of the F. H. A. will receive and act upon applications for permits to build.

You rvill note the Order becomes effective April 9, 1942. We will advise you as soon as the details of administrative procedure are available.

WILL BUILD NEW WAREHOUSE

The San Diego Harbor Commission has approved a request of the Western Lumber Company, San Diego, to build a temporary rvarehouse adjacent to the companl"s y11{. They are compelled to vacate a warehouse at California and G Streets rvhich contained material for defense projects.

Vice-president E. B. Culnan says that work on the nen' warehouse rvill start immediately. The Commission rulecl that the structure must be razed at the end of tl-re lvar.

Ever "ironed' ony Plywood?

Some dcy rhis unique method mqy help you solve o problem !

o At Oregon State College, Coac-h E. A. Stevens builds racing shells from /6-inch Exterior-type Douglas Fir Plywood. In order to shape the big, flat sheets into the required compound curves, he irons the plywood over the frame with an ordinary household steam iron. It takes but a few minutes to mold the plywood "skin" and have it ready for gluing and nailing to the frame. This method, Coach Stevens'own invention, enables him to build simpler, speedier, more durable shells at lower cost. All over the nation, alert craftsmen and designers are constantly discovering new ways of using and handling Douglas Fir Plywood. We try to learn of all we can because they supplement in a very practical way the very extensive researc"h program we are carrying on in our laboratory. You may never want to "iron" any plywood-yet the sum total of al.l the new information we learn about Douglas Fir Plywood tod.ay will tomortout make this modern miracle in wood more useful to youthan ever before !

MODESTY

When every pool in Eden was a mirror, That unto Eve her dainty charms proclaimed, She \ rent undraped without a single fear, or Thought that she had need to be ashamed.

'Twas only when she'd eaten of the apple, That she became inclined to be a prude, And found that evermore she'd have to grapple, With the much-debated problem of the nude.

Thereafter she devoted her attention, Her time and all her money to her clothes, And that was the beginning of convention, And modesty as well, so I suppose. Reaction's come about in fashion's recent, Now the girls conceal so little from the men, It would seem that in the name of all that's decent, Someone ought to pass the apples round again.

sPorLED Hir i""rrrrt

One day the office gang on a small city newspaper had a lot of argument as to who was the rightful possessor of a fine looking turkey that some anonymous giver had left there early one morning. After much discussion the editor proclaimed his rights, and carried the turkey home as his rightful property as holder of the senior position on the paper. The others felt sort of grieved about it, until a letter came the next day, which read:

"Mr. Editor-I left you a turkey yesterday which had caused much dispute on our farm. To. settle a bet, will you please state in your next issue what disease the turkey died of?"

An authoress of some note in her day once asked a famous editor to give his opinion on a book she had written, and which she proposed publishing. She wrote him:

"If the work is not up to the mark f beg you to tell me so as I have other irons in the fire."

The editor read just half a dozen pages of the manuscript, then rolled .it up and returned it to the lady with a note that said:

"Madame, I suggest that you put this book with your other irons."

LIFE'S A FUNNY PROPOSITION AFTER ALL

Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and wonder, sit and think, why we're here and what this life is all about? It's a problem that has driven many brainy men to drink, it's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out. About a thousand different theories the scientists can show, but never yet have found a reason why, with all we've thought, and all we've taught, why all we seem to know, is we're born and live a while, and then we die. Life's a very funny proposition after all, imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy, and gall; three meals a day, a whole lot to say, when you haven't got the coin you're always in the way. Everybody's fighting as we wend ou.r way along, every fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong; hurried and worried until we are buried, and there's no curtain call. Life's a funny proposition, after all. When all things are coming easy, and when luck is with a man, why then life to him is sunshine everywhere; then the fates blow rather breezy, and they quite upset a plan, then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear. Though today may be a day of smiies, tomorrow's still in doubt, what brings me joy may bring you care and woe; we're born to die, and don't know why, and what it's all about, and the more we try to learn, the less we li<now. Life's a funny proposition, you can bet, and no one's ever solved the problem properly as yet; young for a day, then old and grey, like the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away. Losing health to gain our wealth, as through this dream we tour; everything is guessing, nothing's absolutely sure. Battles exciting and fates we're fighting, until the cwtains fall; life's a funny proposition, after all.-George M. Cohan.

Willie came home from school, crying bitterly.

"Mother," he sobbed, "I'm not going to try to be good any more.

Mother demanded to know what had happened to give him such a pessimistic view of life. So Willie said:

"fn school today I saw Teddy Smith put a bent pin on teacher's chair, and because I did not want her to sit on the pin I jerked the chair away, and teacher sat down hard on the foor. So teacher thrashed me for pulling the chair from under her, and when f got outside Teddy Smith licked me for interfering with his fun with the bent pin, and for not minding my own business. So from now on I'm not going to try to do my good deed daily."

No effort will be rn.u".a".ur.1.r"" an" order here. rt is every man's job to study it carefully and intelligently, and decide just what it means to him, and particularly what avenues of continued business are left open to him. The writer does not believe, ofr hand, that it means total paralysis of the building business, by any means. Of course the "CAN DO's" have been slashed deeply and the "CAN'l' DO's" have been magnified. But first reading of the order leaves the impression that the lumber industry will be able to carry on in modified fashion. The lumber manufacturers will have their hands full for some time to come supplying the huge orders for Government army camps. What will happen when that heavy demand has been taken care of, is something for the future to decide. For the present the Government needs most of their product. ***

The lumber dealer is the fellow who has got to do the immediate figuring with regard to survival. The shelter industry is one of the three fundamentals of human supply. There is much to be done in keeping our people and their possessions properly and safely sheltered. Repairs he can do, and modest improvements, and he can make it his business to keep our present homes and other buildings in decent repair. During the next week or so the Government order will be thoroughly read, digested, and discussed, and it will then be time to go farther into the vital question of what the lumber industry CAN do to keep his business alive and his people emploYed.

Reprint Bulletin on Seasoned Lumber

A concise reprint of articles appearing in recent lumber magazines, illustrating the necessity of furnishing properly seasoned lumber for National Defense requirements, has been prepared by Moore Dry Kiln Co', North Portland, Oregon.

The purpose of this reprint bulletin is to show the important part modern dry kilns play in speeding war production, and to impress on the lumber, veneer, box and allied forest products industries the necessity of obtaining priorities in order to assure reasonably prompt shipment of equipment for seasoning lumber uniformly to desired moisture content.

Dr. A. W. Stout Appointed Research New Delense Blanlcet Insulation Chemist of \(/estern Pine Association

Portland, Oregon, March 3l-selection of Dr. Albert W. Stout as research chemist was announced here today by S. V. Fullaway,Ir., secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association. Dr. Stout will replace Dr. E. E. Hubert, who has recently joined the research staff of I. F. Laucks, fnc., manufacturing chemists, at Seattle, Washington, after serving the past seven years as research technologist for the Association.

Dr. Stout is a native of California. He graduated in chemical engineering at Oregon State College in 1930 and then attended the graduate school of the University of Wisconsin, where he obtained his doctor's degree in 1934. For the past five years he has been assistant professor of analytical, general and organic chemistry at Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon.

Dr. Stout will devote much of his time to research problems pertaining to wood preservation and waste utilization and their practical application to the uses of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated species, which are produced commercially in the Western Pine region.

It is expected that Dr. Stout will take up his new duties at the Western Pine Research Laboratory in Portland about May 25. Mrs. Stout and their daughter, Margaret, will also move here at that time.

A new insulating blanket developed for defense construction has been announced by the Wood Conversion Company, manufacturers of Balsam-Wool sealed insulation. Defense blanket, like Balsam-Wool, is a completely sealed insulation covered by a waterproof paper on both sides and is flanged on the edges for quick, permanent application. It is available in rolls or may be cut in varying lengths to fit job requirements. Complete information may be obtained from the Wood Conversion Company, St. Paul, Minnesota.

Record Volume of Title I Loans in 1941 FHA Discontinues Tide Vl Commitments

Modernization or conversion of single-family houses continued to be the purpose of three out of every four loans reported by private financial institutions last year for insurance under Title I of the National Housing Act, Federal Housing Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson announced today.

Last year 524,134 such loans for $194,081,736 were reported for insurance, or 76.4 per cent of the total number and 68.7 per cent of the total amount. This compares with 495,?32 for $188,4&[,031 reported for this purpose in 194O, or 75.2 per cent of the number and 68.2 per cent of the amount.

The record volume of 685,016 loans for $282,646,332 reported for insurance under Title I last year was distributed a little more evenly among all types of industry in the housing field than in the pr'evious year.

Heating still led the list in the types of improvement, the major portion of the proceeds of. 24.3 per cent of the total number and 20.5 per cent of the total amount of all loans reported being for heating equipment and installations. This compares with 28.7 per cent of the total number and 24.0 per cent of the total amount f.or 1940.

All types of improvement except heating and new residential construction showed an increase in actual number and amount of loans over 1940, together with an increase in their ratios of the total volume of business. Many of the loans resulted in more dwelling units for war industry workers or in the maintenance of properties in good repair.

A Federal order has discontinued issuance by the Federal Housing Administration of commitments for mortgage insurance under Title VI of the National Housing Act, 'pending legislative action. The order does not afiect operation of Title II.

The authorized limit for insurance of mortgages under Title VI is set by law at $300,00O,m0, which amount is now obligated in commitments for insurance. New legislation is necessary before Title VI can again be operative.

With Title II remaining in operation and a large volume of Title VI commitments outstanding, it is expected that building 'n'ill continue active in this section.

South ern California Dealers Meet

The convention of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association was held at the Hotel Huntington, Pasadena, California, on Friday and Saturday, April l0-ll, L942. There was a large attendance.

Friday Afternoon

The Friday afternoon business sessron was called to order by A. E. F'ickling, retiring president, who extended greetings to the lumbermen and guests. He then turned the gavel over to Presidentelect Harry E. Whittemore.

President Whittemore ap- pointed the following to serve on the Resolutions Committee: Frank N. Gibbs, Everett C. Parker, Earl John-

Kenneth Smith. president of the California Redwood Association, San Francisco, was the first speaker, his subject being, "What Is Ahead for the Industry." Discussing the "stop order" on non-essential building, Conservation Order L-4l,he said: "You do not need me or anybody else to tell you what this means in its broad outlines. Dealers who are participating in defense housing have plenty of volume now, and rvill have for the rest of the year, and in the declining volume for a part of next vear, but you have observed undoubtedly that this business is increasingly concentrated in the hands of big builders.

"In Southern California most of you have a much better prospect than the rank-and-file of dealers all over the country of securing a substantial volume of over-the-counter tride. The faimer will be a beneficiary of inflation and should have money for the improvement of his property throughout the war, although of course, all types of farmers will not be equally prosperous.

"Then there is a tremendous volume waiting for the enterprising dealers in the 25 or 30 thousand new home owners who will have money to fence and beautify their property. Benches, pergolas, lath-houses, barbecues, seats, fences, gates, compost bins, retaining walls, raised gardens, green houses, terraces, tables, curbing, and plant shelters will be built, and the quantity can be multiplied bv salesmanship.

"The remodeling market is probably going to be limited by the same regulations that affect new building, but the maintenance market and heavy industrial activity should provide satisfactory volume for dealers who cater to these two types of building."

fn conclusion he stated: "Regardless of whether you stay

in the lumber business or find a better place, there is still your responsibility as a citizen.

"Victory cannot be bough,t. It will be won by management, machinery and men. We can win the rvar 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 courageous acceptance now and for the rest of our lives on the responsibilities of citizenship which rve have so long shirked."

A. R. Thomas, Priorities District Manager, Bureau of Field Operations, War Production Board, Los Angeles, stated that the priorities system is a method of directing the flow of materials where they will do the most good to win the war. He discussed the various priority orders, method of procuring priorities for defense housing, Conservation Order L-41, and the functions of the Board's Los Angeles office. Speaking of the future, he believed the situation will be worse before it gets better, and there will be no improvement until there is some definite turn in the war. Following his address, G. R. Squires of the War Production Board's Los Angeles office, answered a number of questions.

Friday Evening

A dinner dance and fun festival was held in the Crystal Ballroom, Hotel Huntington, Friday evening with Lathrop K. Leishman as master of ceremonies. There was an excellent floor show; after which Earl Galbraith awarded the prizes to the winners in the golf tournament. The attendance prizes for the ladies were won by Mrs. H. R. Ring, Los Angeles; Mrs. Frode Kilstofte, Wilmington, and Mrs. Art Jensen, San Diego.

Saturday Morning

H. Park Arnold was cl-rairman at tl-re Saturday morning session.

Capt. W. G. Bingham, District Director, Federal Housing Administration, Los Angeles, talked on "Private Housing." He predicted that 100,000 more people will be employed in the Los Angeles area in the next ten months and that they must be housed. He outlined the limitations to defense building, saying the homes must rent for not more than twenty per cent of a rvorker's salary, must be within two miles or walking distance of a defense plant or a similar distance from transportation not costing more than forty cents a round trip or requiring more than two hours' round trip traveling time.

George Riddle, architectural engineer, Federal Housing Administration, Los Angeles, discussed heating equipment for FHA houses.

Only other speaker at the morning session u'as Verne Orr, vice-president of the Chrysler Corporation and consultant professor of marketing, Stanford University, who told the gathering that "it is essential that we put personal liberties and our standard of living in escrow for the duration.

."Let us not use the word sacrifice, ever," he declared, "but let us regard these curtailments of things we are used to havi4g as part of our opportunity for war service."

He pointed out that the United States which has 7 per cent of the world's population, has 70 per cent of the good things of life. Over 98 per cent of the source of supply of crude rubber, he continued, has been cut off for the present. He urged that truck drivers slow down, saying that synthetic production of rubber would not begin to supply military needs before the end of 1944.

Of the world total of 45,500,000 motor vehicles in 169 countries, there are 32,100,000 in the United States. "For example," he said, "in Los Angeles county alone there are twice as many automobiles as Italy and Japan combined possesses."

Saturday Afternoon

Lathrop K. Leishman was chairman of the Saturday afternoon session.

President Whittemore was the first speaker, his subject being, "Your Association and You." He-asked all members to take an active part in the Association and get new members, and he outlined his plan for lumber group meetings stressing the importance of the exchange of ideas among the members. Association officers plan to visit the local groups at least once a year, he stated.

The next speaker r,vas Roy Wenzlick of St. Louis, Mo., whose subject was, "What To Do In'42." Mr. Wenzlick analyzed. the general business outlook fot 1942, illustrated his talk with a number of charts showing national real estate cycles, residential rents and wholesale commoditv prices, national price cycles, industrial production, rail revenue and freight car loadings, wages, wholesale commodity prices, stock prices, marriage rate, national debt, farm values, real estate activity, foreclosures, residential rents, residential building, building material prices, construction costs, mortgage interest rates and real estate mortgages.

He stated that California was doing pretty well in a building way in comparison with the rest of the country. He predicted that there would be about 450,000 housing units built in 1942, and that the "stop order" on non-essential building will not materially affeit that figure. In fact, he thought that the "stop order" will increase building in some sections. 1942 will be a better building year than 1911, he declared. He urged lumbermen to try and get FHA Title VI extended, saying that there are a lot of interests gpposed to it. He cited that the best hedge against inflation is to buy your own home. The peak in builcling will come in 1942, he declared.

At the conclusion of his talk he answered numerous ouestions.

Saturday afternoon the ladies attending the convention took a trip through the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery in San Marino.

Lumber in Second Quartet ol 1942

Portland, Oregon, March 8-An estimate of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western Pine region for the second quarter of. 1942 is given in a statement issued by the Wester,n Pine Association here today. The statement in full is as follows:

The primary job of the Western Pine industry continues to be that of meeting all war-time requirements for its prodncts, including those for direct military use and those for essential civilian purposes. Demands for army and navy construction, for industrial and defense housing, for box shook and crating, and for a multitude of special needs are expected to more than offset the drastic reduction this year in private construction. It is now estimated that tgtal 1942 lumber consumption will reach 35 billion feet, an irrcrease of almost one billion over last year. The lumber industry is again faced with a tremendous task, but it will again meet the requirements, provided the necessary labor, maintenance supplies, equipment replacements, and truck tires are available.

Preliminary estimates now indicate that shipments from tlre Western Pine region during the first quarter of 1942 will exceed 1200 million feet, a small increase over the former first quarter peak of a year ago. This record volume for that period was reached in spite of year-end regional stocks at the lowest level since 1935-1721 million feet-and a production of 885 million which was less than 2/o above that for the same 1941 period. The Western Pine industry will enter the second quarter with gross stocks of 1400 million feet, the minimum at any time since July, 1935, and with a substantial order file. Currently, the volume of orders accepted is almost wholly dependent upon these two factors.

Based on general predictions and all other available information concerning the probable use of these products, it is expected that during the second quarter of. 1942, the consumption (shipments) of Western Pine lumber will be about 1582 million feet. This would mean a volume of shipments which would exceed that for the previous quarter by 376 million feet, or 3I/o, and that for the second quarter of last year by 45 million feet, or abofi 3/o. In large part, the volume of second quarter deliveries will be dependenl upon the ability of the mills to make shipment.

Forestry "Movie"to be Shown to 2 p00,000 California P eople

Two million Californians will have an opportunity to see the grandeur of Pacific Coast forests in technicolor when, beginning April 5, the 3O-minute film "Trees and lIomes" will be shown in 238 theaters in 75 cities and towns in California.

The film is being presented to the people of California through the joint cooperative effort of Fox West Coast Theaters and Weyerhaeuser Forest Products. The proceeds of the showings of the film will be turned oner to the Varietv Clubs of America to be used in the charitable work of the motion picture industry.

"Trees and Homes," filmed for Weyerhaeuser by James Fitzpatrick, famous travelogist, is not only gorgeously scenic, it is educational. It tells the industry's story from the lumbermen's practical viewpoint. "Trees and Homes" takes the audience from the forest, through logging ancl milling, down to the final use of the product as flowing out from the retail lumber dealer's yard to the construction of homes. It is a film every lumber dealer can urge his customers to see under the present auspices for showing because of the charitable nature of the proceeds and because, in an entertaining way, the story is told in an over-all way about the product the dealer is selling-lumber.

Celotex Distributes Blackout Fofder

An educational folder describing permanent blackout methods proved in the London blitzkrieg is now being distributed to its dealers by The Celotex Corporation of Chicago, Ill. The folder is designed to help dealers and contractors render intelligent service to their customers in areas where blackout precautions are considered advisable, according to Marvin Greenwood, general sales manager of the company. The purpose in issuing this literature is to make ariailable the knowledge acquired by the engineers of their London plant during the great air raids.

Mr. Greenwood recommends that all lumber dealers confer with local civilian defense authorities to ascertain what local requirements are. In this way they can cooperate most effectively. The folder describes methods for handling four typical blackout problems-windows, skylights, doors and truck loading platforms. Celotex lists seven of its products which meet OCD specifications for blackout materials.

THE SAFETY SOUNDBOARD

The Safety Soundboard is a folder published in the interests of the employes of The Shevlin-Hixon Company. The format, layout, and illustrations throughout the publication are copyrighted by C. K. .Weil. This interesting folder is published monthly and carries valuable information on how to avoid accidents.

Data Sheets jor Granaries Available

The California Redwoocl Association has just prepared two descriptive and illustrated data sheets, "Portable Granary," and "Crib Wall Granary."

Due to an unique lock-corner construction, only a small amount of nails are required in building up the walls of a crib-type portable granary of 50Gbushels capacity, and another economical feature of this farm granary is that it can be easily taken apart for off-season storage, or its laminations and floor may be used for other utility structures in between seasons.

The Portable Granary of crib-wall construction was designed by the Association's technical stafi and is built of 2x4 laminations with special notched ends. The notches make all corners interlock, so that walls build up very quickly. The entire granary can be built of No. 2 Common Redwood. It is set on three 6x8 Redwood skids.

The Crib Wall Granary data sheet presents a master plan for a four-bin, 2,00Gbushel granary of crib construction, which can easily be varied to provide capacities from 500 to 4,000 bushels by merely changing the number of units and increasing the height of the walls. This granary is said to be easy to build, requires no special tools, and utilizes random lengths of lumber with a minimum of waste, cutting, and framing on the job. The 2x4 laminations can be of No. 2 Common Redwood, although No. 3 Common Redwood can be used by trimming out occasional defects that weaken seriously.

Granaries of crib construction fill the current urgent need of California farms of storage facilities for the bulk handling of the 1942 grain crop. Ordinarily California field crops go into burlap sacks at harvest time, agriculture authorities in the state point out, but that this year war conditions have caused a sack shortage amounting to about one-half of the normal requirement. Recent estimates indircate that between now and Tuly, dealers will sell California farmers

Wood Grain Bins Present Marketing Opportunities to Dealers

By Don F. Hill, \Uest Coast Lumbermen's Association

War demands have taken most of the burlap bags which farmers formerly used to sack and store their grain, so they are turning to bulk storage. This should mean wood bins. 'I'he State War Board estimates that the California grain crop, harvested about June first, will necessitate construction of the equivalent of ten thousand 2,00G!us\el grain storage units. If lumber-built this will require approximately 65 million feet of dimension lumber, sheathing, drop siding and floorng. This emergency situation can provide a future as wel! as a present lumber market on California farms because bulk handling of grain is more economical than sacking, and once established will probably continue.

The federal government is encouraging farm storage of grain to build up large food reserves. Under present regulations a bonus ol 7c per bushel is given for satisfactory storage on the farm the first year; the second year the farmer gets an additional 6c per bushel. From this allowance alone granaries soon pay for themselves.

Wood has proven the best and most economical material for farm structures, including grain bins. Wood's high insulation value helps prevent heating and molding of grain. Wood is durable; it does not rust, and propertly cared for will last a lifetime. It combines light weight with high strength, an important element in portable bins which should be light enough to move readily from place to place. Most adaptable of all building materials, wood combines adequate permanency with ease of remodeling, giving the best service at low maintenance cost. Lumber is obtainable everywhere without a priority order. Its use releases critical materials for war purposes.

Lumber dealers should emphasize to their customers the fact that lumber of the grades needed for granaries is readily available. Surveys by the Lumber Merchants' Association of Northern California and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association show that lumber supplies will be ample for the needs of farm grain storage this year. The dealer is urged, however, to order his stock of grain bin lumber well in advance to allow ample time for seasoning. Some dealers

who have had their normal markets reduced by the rvar may find it desirable to investigate the possibility of prefabricating'wood bins in their yards for sale to farmers who want to save building labor.

In order to have construction completed by June first it is necessary that retailers start contacting their farm trade for this business immediately. Many farmers will delay building bins in the hope of getting sacks, consequently some sales effort will be needed to speed the changeover from sacks to bulk storage.

In addition to the building of new bins considerable lumber can be sold for altering present structures to provide storage. The work of building crib partitions in existing warehouses along the railroads is already under way where retail lumberme,n have sold owners on this conversion. Poultrymen who buy grain in large quantities are interested in a combination feed storage-grinding building which includes space for candling and temporary storage of eggs.

Plans for all types of grain storage facilities of wood construction are available from many sources. The Agricultural Extension Division of the University of California has adjusted designs of the U. S. Department of Agriculture to meet local co,nditions and sells working plans with printed lists of materials at a nominal price. The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has just released a leaflet on wood granaries from which the farmer can construct portable bins using photographs as a guide. The marked pictures are even easier to work from than blueprints. The National Lumber Manufacturers Association has designs for prefabricated bins, and the California Redwood Association distributes plans for crib construction.

The lumber dealer will want to familiarize himself with the farmer's grain storage requirements so as to advise him on the best type and size of granary to build. Farm storage may consist of an elevator, a granary or portable bins. The size, of course, is determined by the average quantity of grain to be stored each year. A standard bushel of wheat occupies approximately lfu cubic feet of space and weighs '50 pounds per cubic foot. The capacity of a bin in bushels

Sash Doors Millwork Panels Wall Board

CALIFORNIA BUILDERS SI'PPLY CO.

Hlsate @16

may be determined by rnultiplying its volume by 8 and dividing by 10.

Two general styles of construction-balloon frame and crib-are used in grain storage on the farm. The balloon frame with stud and sheathing walls is usually employed for buildings under 8,000 bushels capacity. It is not recommended for heights greater than 24 Ieet. Bins must be built to resist both the outward and downward pressures of the grain. Floors must not be loaded beyond the capacity of the joists.

Floors should be of seasoned, dressed and matched lumber. Walls may be sheathed inside the. studs, or outside, or both. Shiplap or matched lumber free frorh holes and loose knots should be used for inside or single sheathing. Drop siding may be used on the outside.

In crib construction, which is always preferable when the storage ca,pacity exceeds 10,000 bushels, walls are built up of lumber 2-inches thick laid flat and spiked together. For buildings 24 f.eet or less in height 2x4-inch lumber is used; in higher buildings the lower 1618 feet may be of 2xGinch lumber. Crib construction has the advantage of taking the economy grades. No. 2 or No. 3 Douglas fir dimension is suitable, and may be used in random lengths. Crib construction is practical for small granaries as well as large and is recommended for building bins rvithin existing structures.

Grain elevating machinery that normally could be used in high granaries will be difficult to obtain under war conditions. This suggests the advisability of building a number of smaller bins rather than one large granary, or wherever possible, locating the granary or elevator on a side hill where an overhead dumping system will eliminate the need for machinery.

In recent years the wood hoop wood stave silo for storing and preserving succulent roughage has proved to be one of the most profitable investments in farm buildings. This may be constructed by the farmer using standard flooring

SAcramento 9-0788

as staves and hoops built up.of 5/lGinchx2linch standard fir battens or resawn from 1x3 or 1x4. Such a structure may easily be adapted to the storage of small grains following suggestions outlined in a leaflet issued by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, Washington.

Some difficulty has been encountered in obtaining nails but this situatio.n is expected to clear soon. The various lumber associations are working with several agricultural agencies in efforts to obtain priority ratings to insure an adequate supply of nails for farm building. About 50 carloads or 20,000 kegs of nails will be needed for grain storage facilities in California, an average of 1 1/10 kegs being required for each 1000 bushels of storage capacity. Approximately 3 l/3 board feet of lumber is needed for each bushel of storage.

Today's farm storage problem is a real opportunity for the retail lumberman to do a merchandising job that will help himself, the farmer and the nation.

Here are some facts taken from a recent issue of this publicatlon:

Last year 60 million sacks were required to handle California's production of S,rain and other crops. Sacks available f.ot 1942 are estimated at 22 million. Potatoes will $et first call.

Resulta sudden, even desperate need for bulk storage facilities. Most public and farm p,rain warehouses are built for sack stora$e are not entirely suitable for bulk storage.

Growers should tealize seriousness of the situation and provide adequate facilities before harvest time. On the farm,

lumber will be needed for storage facilities, bodies for flat-bed trucks, bulk bins for harvesters, and other uses.

In brief, those now handling grain in sacks must prepare for handling in bulk-and new construction to take care of one-third of the crops will require about 20 million feet of lumber.

There's the plcture-and it presents a real op- portunlty for Diamond-H Redwood dealers to tet thetr share of the new lraln storage and handltng faclllties whlch must be constructed. Long llfe, weather-reslstance and low-cost-peryear of service make Dlamond-H Redwood a thrtfty investment for your customers. Be sure to recommend it!
