Lumber shipments of 473 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 6.2 per cent above production for the week March 24, 1945. In the same week new orders of these mills were 36.5 per cent more than production. Unfilled order files of the reporting mills amounted to 109 per cent of stocks. For reporting softwood mills, unfilled. orders are equivalent to 39 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks are equivalent to 34 days' production.

For the year-to-date, shipments of reporting identical mills exceeded production by 9.2 per cent; orders by 16.6 per cent.

Compared to the average corresponding week of 19351939, production of reporting mills was 14.5 per cent greater; shipments were 10.8 per cent greater; and orders were 42.9 per cent greater.

Lumber Industry Given Facts On European Shipments

The following letter was recently addressed to the industry by J. Philip Boyd, director, WPB Lumber and Lumber.Products Division:

There are apparentlir being circulated a great many rumors regarding the extent of this country's extension of aid to foreign countries involving lumber and prefabricated housing for rehabilitation. Some of these rumors have reached fantastic proportions, and anyone giving credence to them can probably find good reason to become worried about our own domestic supply. I should like to have you circulate this statement to your branch of the industry to give it the true facts of the situation.

Up to this time, and with no additional demands foreseen for the immediate future, the amount of lumber or prefabricated lumber items which has been authorized for these purposes is an extremely small part of our total supply. For the purposes of dike repair in Holland 5,600,000 board feet has ,been authorized. For the construction of barracks to house workers at the French ports which our armed services are using, there has been aliocated ?3, 400,000 board feet of lumber to be fabricated into barracks in this country. These two items are quite directly connected with our own military operations.

About one-third of England's dwellings have been destroyed or damaged, which destruction is continuing. During the war, construction of homes in Britain has been virtually at a standstill. With the swollen populatioh, the situation is desperately acute. Britain needs a minimum of 500 thousand temporary dwellings now and immediately after the end of hostilities in Europe. They are preparing to make the vast bulk of these themselves. To help tide them over the emergency, 30 thousand such units have been authorized to be prefabricated in this country during the next seven months, and those units contain no lumber except the actual structure ; sheathing, siding, roofing.", etc., are of materials other than lumber.

The total amount of lumber involved, including the millr,vork and flooring, is less than 164 million feet. The total number of units for which lumber is allocated is 30 thousand-not ten times this number as has been reported by some sources where an extra zero was apparently added.

In addition, about 80 million feet of lumber is to be sent

to England for repair of bombed-damaged existing tures. Canada is sending a much larger amount.

A total of 4,750.000 feet has been authorized for

struccertain previously occupied ,countries for the repair of damage r.vreaked by the evacuating Nazi armies.

A1l these items total less than 300 million feet or less than one percent of our total production in this country. The hardwood flooring involved in the British housing is 10 percent of the hardwood flooring production. The millwork involves less than 5 percent of the lumber allotted to the millwork industry. In addition, all lumber items are specified to be supplied in species and grades so as to constitute a minimum conflict with war and essential civilian requirements.

I do not believe this constitutes an unfair or unreasonable demand on our forest economy in view of the desperate needs which it is partially serving.

Eubcrnk Sqves Government More Thcn Million Dollcrs On Reclciming

L. H. Eubank & Son, wholesale millwork manufacturers, Inglewood, but now entirely occupied in rvar work, were recently awarded the contract for the reclaiming of oil and fuel cell boxes for the West Coast, which establishes them as the West Coast depot for the handling of all Government-owned fuel cell boxes.

These are the boxes in which bullet-proof gas tanks are shipped to the aircraft plants and all the battle fronts, and many of the original boxes were made by this firm.

The amount of plywood reclaimed from June, 1943 to March l, 1945, was more than 8l million square feet; lumber reclaimed, more than four million feet; corrugated boxes reclaimed, nearly 900,000 square feet, a total of about l3l million square feet.

Western -Walker Gets Fikh Gold Star o

The Western Hardrvood Lumber Con.rpany and P. J. Walker Company of Los Angeles have been givera its Fifth Gold Star in recognition of achievement in completing wartime schedules in the nranufacture and delivery of merchant ship components.

Herelvith is a facsimile of the letter received from H. L. Vickery, Chairman of the U. S. Maritime Comtrission Board of Production Arvards, advising them of the arvard for their continued contribution to merchant ship construction.

The Western-Walker "M" Pennant non' carries six stars. First recogr.rition of their rvar efforts came on October 13, 1942, l.hen the original ('M" award was conferred. The honor rvas again renerved on the follolving dates: June 24, 1943, December 15, 1943, May 3, 1944, Octol>er 26, 1944, and March 28,1945.

As of March 31, 1945, the U. S. Maritirne Commission brought to a conclusion the issuance of the gold star arvards.

There's a special art in writing, To a fellow who is fighting, If you want to be a helpful friend of his; Leave out everything that's dreary, Let your attitude be cheery, For he's pretty long on trouble as it is.

And here's a better one: Ffuman ideals are like stars; you don't reach them; you just reach FOR them.

This year there are ,.r", l"r"lu in Europe many, many more of those little white crosses like the ones that were raised in l9l7 and 1918. And the same heart-searing words mark the new o,nes that marked those of a generation back: "ffere lies in honored glory an American Soldier, known only to God." Yes, the lists of Unknown Soldiers grow great this year.

Lt. General Simon soriJ"r l"l*.r, Jr., who led the new Tenth Army in the invasion of Okinawa, recently said: "Kill more Japs-and faster. The faster you kill them the sooner the war will be over. The man who kills the most Japs, is my man." Buckner's father was a Confederate General.

Today all over e*"ri"l.; ;*.r" are praying. r am thinking of the story of Tolstoi about a priest who saw a farmer plowing the field, and said to him: "If you knew you were to die tonight, what would you do today?" And

the farmer replied: "I would plow." And the priest said: "You have made a wlse answer, friend, for to plow is to prayJ'

Stephen Girard, famous Lni.itnoian of other days and the founder of Girard College, had the same idea. Sorneone asked him what he wo,uld do today if he knew he would be dead tomorrow? And Girard answered: "I would plant a tree." For planting a tree, like plowing, is praying. ***

Can't pass Girard without relating the famous story about his school. He endowed Girard College with one specific instruction-that no clergyman should ever be permitted within its haUs. The case was tried in the co,urts, and the will stood up. But the story that tickles me is, that one day old llorace Greeley went to visit the college. He wore furpny looking clothes, and a peculiar hat. And the guard, who stood always at the door mistook him for a clergyman, and stopped him, saying: "Sorry, but you can't come in here." Greeley said: "The hell I can't !" And the guard stepped back and said: "Beg your pardon. Come in."

Fortunate, indeed, is the human who has lived so wisely and so well that when he reaches those days when he has crossed the crest of the hill orf life and finds the shadows always slanting from the West, he finds that his storehouse of such treasures as friendship and affection have not been made subject to the "*u l-1,. *

During George Washington's term as President of the United States, the entire expenditures of the Federal Government was abo,ut 65 cents per*year per capita.

The mobs of people we see every day crowding the streets, the stores, the eating places, the theatres, and everywhere people can go to spend money, don't seem to have the faintest idea where this money comes from that burns their pockets. They think it came in the regular way. But it didn't. It's just part of the three hundred billion the people

One of the things that the Japs bank on in their belief that they can (or perhaps I should now say "could") conquer the world, is the knowledge that when the Romans reached out and slapped down the rest of civilization as it prevailed at that time, the average Roman soldier was just five feet two inches tall. The Japs argue that that proves you don't h-ave to be physical giants in order to be conquerors. They're finding out that'a lot of their notio,ns were-well, just notions.

Newspapers report a definite shortage of $500 and gl@0 bills. Authorities say that gamblers, racketeers, and income tax dodgers have been hiding them away to dodge the income tax. Let me see now, where did I hide that roll of thousands I won on that*long shot last summer?

And then, of course, there was the philosophic sailor who was heard to remark that the trouble with dames is you can't fall into their arms, without taking a chance of falling into their hands.

The housewife goes to the meat market and finds the market but no meats. She screamed. Congress investigated. For many days witnesses tripped to and from the witness .stand. There virere two groups. On one side were cattle raisers, feed men, meat packers, shippers, and others who are engaged in some fashion or other in the meat business. All of them told the same identical story. There is more cattle than ever in history, and the trouble with the meat situation is the fumbling and bungling of impractical and unwise federal bureaus,

OPA.

Then another group paraded. They denied every statement of the men in the meat business. Not a word'of fact in the statements made by the other crowd, they said. This group is made up of economists and statisticians. They said the meat men were wrong because their figures did not agree with bureau figures. Asked where the bureau got the figures, they said from other bureaus. It is significant that all the men engaged in business said one thing, and all the professional statistical men said the opposite.

fmmediately the Government showed its interest in the matter by cutting down food shipments abroad; likewise appointing a committee to investigate reported waste and impractical and unwise distribution of American food abroad. Everyone knows that there has been tremendous waste of American goods shipped abroad, by Lend Lease and otherwise. It has been given away unintelligently and impractically. The assumption of our squandergang that American supplies and resources were inexhaustible and limitless, has gotten us very largely into our present food fix. Wholesale wastefulness abroad. Fumbling the distribution system at home. The investigating committee won't do much, because right after its appointment the President lifted his eyebrows in no, uncertain manner while

discussing it. But an aroused public voice will have some effect.

r read a newspape, "aoly loJ". some Americans going across the Canadian line to a small Canadian city to see about the reports that scarce American goods are not scarce in Canada. They corroborated the scandalous reports, found they could buy plenty of things over there that are hard to get here; THAT CAME FROM HERE, Particularly they reported getting two pounds each 'of American butter plainly marked Lend Lease. Kind of makes you mad, especially when honest questioners get only a reminder that there is a war on.

There are nearly two and one half billion people in the world, and one hundred and thirty million of us. We just can't carry that load, our starry-eyed non-workers but freegivers to the contrary notwithstanding.

Sumner Wells recently wrote: "There are few of us so blind as not to realize that unless the moral force of religious conviction impels, the goal of truth, and lasting international cooperation cannot be attained;" there are few of us who do not appreciate the vital truth of the words: ',ff God does not build the house, those who build it, build in vain." ***

I have been thinking favorably regarding a work or fight bill. But the frank admission, just as the European end of the war seems to be approaching, that they want it for postwar purposes, made me see the light. As win-the-war legislation it is hard to oppose. As after-war regimentation to add to all the other regimentation, it scares me. Getting rid of the regimentation-getting rid of the unnecessary bureaus-getting from under innumerable war regulations -those are going to be big jobs when the war ends. Don't doubt it.

We have been told by the best inforrned men in Congress that the Executive Department of our government is the greatest hoarder of manpower. They have demanded that the Federal payrolls be slashed. No soap. They continue to grow, in spite of the Bird Committee reports that there is a great army of employis we would be better off without. That, of course, has been a strong argument against work-or-fight legislation.

Thomas Jefferson said: "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God." President James Madison said: "ft is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties." Atre Lincoln said: "At what point is the approach of danger to be expected? If it ever reaches us, it muSt spring from amongst us." John Garner said: "ff Communism comes to America it wiil come in the name of Democracy."

But I hope they don't bite."

(We all have our favorite war story. So far as the present war is concerned, I like this one best.)

It happened on Iwo Jima. A company of Marines was spread in scattered formation alo,ng a hillside. Each man was dug in as well as possible. The fighting was continuous.

He would fire, then stop a while, then fire again, then stop again.

Extends FHA \(/ar Housing Insurance

Washington, D. C., March 28-The Federal Housing Administration today notified its field offices to resume issuance of commitments to insure loans on houses built for war workers.

This phase of FHA operations was suspended early in February when the insurance authorization under Title VI of the National Housing Act neared exhaustion.

The FHA action was in accord with Congressional approval of an amendment to the Act which extends its war housing insurance powers until July l, 1946, and added $100,000,000 to its Title VI authorization.

Congress, in passing the amendment, raised the total FHA Title VI insurance authorization from $1,700,000,000 to $1,800,000,000 and thus makes possibie, it was estimated, the construction of nearly 22,000 additional privatelyfinanced dwelling units urgently needed for war workers. About 16,000 of these already have been programmed by the National Housing Agency.

Through February, a.bout 380,00O houses for war workers had been completed by private enterprise with insurance through FHA's Title VI.

The Captain called a Sergeant over, pointed out the strange behavior o,f the man above, and suggested he go up there and see what the "gaw damn:' fellow lvas so slow about. The Sergeant went up on his tummy, and came back the same way. He said to the Captain:

"That's a funny thing, that guy. He was a gangster in a Chicago mob before he joined up, and he just can't get out of his old habits. Every time he kills a Jap, HE STOPS AND WIPES HIS FINGER PRINTS OFF THE GUN.''

California Lumber Production Shows lncrease

As compared with a national drop of 9.6 per cent in lumber production for January 1945, from the previous January, the South Pacific region, embracing the states of California and Nevada, achieved a 16.3 per cent increase, the highest of any section in the country, it was announced today by Stewart C. Griswold, Regional Lumber Advisor of the War Production Board. Production of 119,400,000 board feet was due, he said, to especially favorable winter weather conditions for logging and hauling to mills.

National production of 2,254,8D,0@ board feet, while ,behind January of 1944, showed a better than average normal increase of 8.1 oer cent over December 1944.

Directions 1 to 5 of Order L-335 Amended Lumber Operators in El Dorado County

Washington, D. C., March 3l-To make certain that all lumber purchase orders given military preference by sawmills actually are for lumber to be used by the services, the War Production Board has tightened control over distributors' purchases for inventory replacement, the agency announced today.

Directions 1 through 5 to the lumber control order, L-335, as amended today, prohibit the extension of certifications of the Central Procuring Agency, U. S. Corps of Engineers, to obtain lumber for replacing inventory sold on these certifications.

Species covered by the directions are: Direction 1Douglas fir, 'ivhite fir, Noble fir, Sitka spruce, and West Coast hemlock (except aircraft grades of Sitka Spruce and Noble fir) ; Direction 2-western pine; Direction 3-California reclwood; Direction 4-southern yellorv pine ; and Direction S--red and yellor,v cypress.

The directions require sawn.rills larger than specified sizes (measured in average daily output) to give military orders precedence over all other orders except those rated AAA, up to specified percentages of their anti.cipated monthly shipments. Military orders are defined as (1) orders for the account of the United States placed by the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, United States Illaritime Commission and War Shipping Adrninistration; those placed by the Procurement Division of the Treasury Departrnent as agent for the Foreign Economic Administration ; and (2) orders for other ac,counts placed by distributors when such orders bear certifi,cation of CPA that they are military orders.

Formerly, distributors were permitted to extend the CPA certification both to obtain lumber to fi1l the purchase orders, and to replace inventory with an amount of lumber equrivalent to that used to fill these orders.

As amended today, the directions require distributors rvho rvish to replace inventory rvith lumber of the type that CPA rvould be interested in buying from distri,butors to send their purchase orders to the nearest CPA office for certification and placement. Orders certified and placed by CPA rvill receive preferential treatment by sawmills. For all other replacement of inventory, distributors may now use only the general certification provided for in Order

Starting 1945 Season

Lumbermen of El Dorado County are scheduling the start of.logging operations in several sections of the county between April 1 and the early part of NIay. Expected cuts for the 1945 season are estimated close to last year's log scale or slightly better.

The five logging camps of the Placerville Lumber Company planned to start around the first of April and the mills at Fresh Pond, Sly Park and Tahoe Valley rvere expected to start on April 10. A cut of 5O million board feet during the season will approximate last year's production, Manager Harvey West stated.

Swift Berry, manager of the Michigan-California Lumber Co., said his company planned to start logging in midApril. The company's planned cut is 25 million board feet in 1945. At the present time, 140 men are employed rn the box factory and shipping plant in Camino.

C. G. Price, manag'er of The California Door Company, stated, rveather conditions permitting, logging operations n'onlcl start around April 1. Mill operations are expected to start about mid-April. Mr. Price says the company will try for a cut of 28 million board feet this year.

M. J. Ferrari, rvho operates the Ferrari Lumber Company, says he expects his usual cut of 10 million ,board feet this season. Logging and mill operations were to start around the first of April.

The camp of Blair Brothers Lumber Co. will open next month, while logging is expected to start early in May.

Nearly a score of smaller lumber companies and operators in the county are ltreparing also to start operating and producing lumber for the rvar effort.

L-335, and lun.rber so purchased is not entitled to the preferential treatment established for military orders.

The change in procedure established by the amended clirections is designed to replace distribrrtors' inventory rvith the types of lum,ber sold to CPA-that is, with lumber adaptable to military requirements, WPB said.

Principal CPA offices are at Charlotte, N. C., Memphis, Tcnn. ; Atlanta, Ga. ; I-exington, Ky.; Jacksonville, Fla. ; Nerv Orleans, La. ; Nen' York, N. Y.; Portland, Ore., and San Francisco, Calif.

His Dreams Cqme True

When he wandered around the country as a young and unknown architect, Ralph Adams Cram used to say, .,There ought to be better looking churches around here." Obeying his creative urge, unable to see a need without doing something to supply it, he began making drawings which he sent to congregations with notes containing some such words as these: "Church proposed for such and such a site.,' It was surprising how rnany churches were built as a result of planting the clearly defined idea in the minds of church people. Naturally, Mr. Cram became the foremost church architect in the country.

If you get up earlier than your neighbor, and work harder, and scheme more and stick to your job more closely and stay up later planning how to make more money than your neighbor, and burn the midnight oil planning how to get ahead of him while he is snoozing, not only will you leave a lot more money when you die than he does, but you will leave it a whole lot sooner.

Redwood Safety Contest

San Francisco, California, March 2I, 1945-Lost time injuries in the woods and mills of the California Redwood lumber industry during 19,14 declined from the preceding year by a substantial degree-representing improvement in accident experience for the fourth consecutive year. This gratifying record was achieved despite the unhappy combination of extra war-,born risks and the recognized hazards inherent in thd industry.

The 1944 annual Redwood safety competition just tallied revealed Caspar Lumber Co., Caspar, Calif., to have es-. tablished the new low Donovan Accident Index of 78.1. to win the industry's coveted C. R. Johnson Memorial Safety Trophy.

A 1943 winning Index of 86.9 was chalked up by Hammond Lumber Co., Samoa. In 1942, Holmes Eureka Lumber Co., Eureka, won with Index of 1@.2. Hammond took the initial 1941 contest with Index of 128.3.

Second place in the 1944 contest went to Holmes Eureka with an Index of 83.5. Union Lumber Company, Fort Bragg, was third with 83.6. Other competing companies in 1944 were llammond Lumber Company with Index of 87.9; Dolbeer and Carson Lumber Co., Eureka, 1O7.9, and The Pacific Lumber Co., Scotia, 129.1. The contestants account for about 90 per cent of California Redwood lumber production. They employ about 5000 persons.

The remarkable 4-year decrease in the California Redwood lumber industry's lost time injury rate is declared particularly significant in light of war-time conditions, with high labor turnover and relatively inexperien,ced personnel which have in most industries resulted in a consistent ride in the frequency of lost time accidents.

Safety officials of the industry attribute the gratifying record to the effectiveness of the'safety effort maintainei by Redwood operators and the effrcacy of the competitive spirit set in motion by the annual contest for the C. R. Johnson Memorial Safety Trophy.

The C. R. Johnson Trophy is a bronze plaque donated in 1941 by Otis R. Johnson, president of Union Lumber Co., in memory of his father, the late C. R. Johnson, rvho founded the company in the early eighties.

The Donovan Accident Index is a com,bination of frequency and severity; a weighed average that allows a de-

gree of credit for holding down severity as well as frequency. By so doing it places an incentive on the availability and use of pr.otective devices, the development of effective first aid and the best possible medical and hospital care. The figure is arrived at by adding to ihe frequency ten times the severity rate.

Freqtrency figures tor 7944 contestants show Hammond Lumber Company low with 38.1; Caspar Lumber Company next with 53.7; The Pacific Lumber Company, 62.l; Union I-umber Company, 63.6; Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, 65.8; and Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, 89.4.

It is believed Caspar Lumber Company's low 1944 Donovan Accident fndex of 78.1 will have the effect of increasing interest in industrial safety throughout West Coast lumber operations.

There are whispering winds in the treetops, The fragrance of cedar and pine, And the soul of all nature beguiling, Sings low to the soul that is mine; For springtime is weaving her magic Through valleys and canyons and hills, And down in the wooded arroya Is heard the soft murmur of rills.

And here is a respite. from winter And cares that make weary the way, The mountains srnile down on the valleys, The shadows with warm sunbeams play. And into the hush of the twilight, The song of a bird breaks and thrills, To stir with its magical sweetness, The heart that with ecstacy thrills.

Ilere autumn is followed by springtime

For this is a winterless land, From the green, sunny slopes of the foothills To ocean's cool, shimmering sand. There are only the clouds and the flowers, The drip of the life-giving rain, The whispering winds in the treetops And lo, spring is with us again.

Since food can nolv be made of wood, landlords rvho ofier "Room and Boarcl" may soon be speaking literally. Nazi soldiers on the eastern front sleep underground in community log shelters. The Russians approve the idea, say it saves burial expense.

New York City claims to have more trees-21 millionthan any other American city. It also has 301,850 dogs. Add to new uses of wood-small rvedges for propping rvobbly legs on restaurant tables. A genius rn'ho devised them says they keep him from running out of paper match folders.

The Army saves 250,000 board feet of lumber per 100 miles by using square telephone poles. It's not true that Government efficiency men are trying'to grow square trees.

They progressed from clubs to bayonets. Norv their vile birds blacken the skies. They poison the night, and the breath of heaven Is torn with their children's cries."

"It will be well," said the oak tree.

"Nature retrieves her mistakes. When the last man dies by his brother's hand, The dawn of a new age breaks. We shall cover the earth with the quiet green of forests.

Estimated Lumber Consumption of Western Pine for Second Quarter o( 1945

Portland, Oregon, March 31-An estimate of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western pine region for the second quarter of. 1945 is given in a statement issued by the Western Pine Association here today. The statement in full is as follows:

Over-all demand for lumber continues to exceed supply. Government controls, the most important factor in the lumber situation today, by channeling bulk of available lumber to direct or indirect military irse, have resulted in generally ample supply for war effort.

War Production Board estimates now indicate the country's 1944 lumber production was 6/o under that for 1943 and first quarter 1945 shipments at 77/o below those for the same 1944 peiod. Comparable figures for the Western Pine region show that 1944 production was less than 1/o under that of the previous year and during the first quarter of 1945 shipments were down about 5/o and production Il/o from the performance in the same 1944 quarter. Thirs the Western Pine industry continues, in spite of growing handicaps, its excellent contribution in meeting war requirements for lumber.

There is every indication that in the second quarter of 1945, shipments from the Western Pine region will again be limited only by the ability of the mills to make deliveries. The drafting of previously deferred men in the 25 to 29 age class from key production jobs and the serious truck tire situation are factors which will definitely affect second quarter performance. Based on general predictions and all other available information, it is expected that during the second quarter ol 1945, the shipments (consumption) of lumber by Western Pine industry will approximate 1500 million feet, a reduction of 7/o under those of the same 1944 quarter.

Ceiling Prlce lncreases for Odd Stock Millwork

Washington, D.C., N{arch 27-Ceiling price increases, that have been authorized for stock millwork items since maximum prices were frozen originally at the March, 1942 levels are extended to odd stock millwork in an amendment issued by the Office of Price Administration today.

Odd stock milhvork is made by slightly modifying stock millwork items for special uses.

The amendment, effective March 31, 1945, provides jobbers with a method of pricing odd stock millwork through extending the maximum price regulation for stock mill' work to include coverage of odd stock items.

It will restore the customary relationship betrveen the prices of odd stock millwork and stock items from which the;- are produced and simplify pricing procedures fot' rnilln'orl< jobbers, OPA said.

Since odd stock millwork constitutes only about one per cent of jobbers' sales, the price advances resulting from the amendment will be extremely small. It is estimated that they will amount to only a few cents on a five thousand dollar building project.

Jobbers have frequently been selling odd stock millwork items at the original "freeze" levels while ceilings of stock items have increased an average of seven per cert over General Maximum Price Regulation levels. Improper price relationships have resulted together with difflculty in checking odd stock ceilings due to new maximum prices on all stock items.

Usual odd sto'ck millwork pricing procedure in the past has been for jobbers to add a published extra-listed in dollars and cents or a percentage of the stock item priceto the March 7942 ceilings of comparable stock items. In the future, jobbers may add their March 1942 published extras to the higher ceilings for stock millwork items set out in Maximum Price Regulation 525. As a condition to the use of such prices, however, jobbers are required to file their list of odd stock extras with OPA.

Another provision authorizes a seller of stock millwork items, which are included on stock lists for the area in which delivery is made but for which no mark-up (price schedule) is provided, to apply to OPA for approval of a mark-up. Currently, such applications are limited to items, that are not included in the area sto,ck lists.

(Amendment 6 to Maximum Price Regulation 525-Jobber Sales of Stocks Millwork, effective March 31, 1945.)

Lumber Alter War Is Booklet Theme

"Lumber After tl-re War: How Good? How much? Horv Long?" is the title of an article by S. R. Black, vice president of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, St. Paul, u'hich has just been publisl-red in booklet form by the American Forest Products Industries, Inc.

Nlr. Black discusses tl-rese vital questions in considerable detail, reaching conclusions, encouraging to distributors, dealers, builders and architects who may have been disturbed by pessimistic reports. Logging and lumber manufacture are hardly out of the pioneering stage, according to Ntr. Black who foresees the time rvhen new growth on forest lands will exceed present requirements, thus opening the way to the development of new and greater markets for wood.

So. Pine \fholesalers and Commission Men OPA Transfers Lumber Distribution, MillTo Report Monthly Volume of Sales

Wastrington, D. C., April 2-Wholesale lumber dealers and commission men who handle southern yellow pine lumber are required by Direction 17 to Order L-335, issued today, to report to the War Production Board their monthI)' volume of sales of this lumber, \ rPB announced.

Monthly reports are to be made on Form WPB-4?{I,7, obtainable in WPB district field offices. The form calls for information on sales handled for (1) direct military procurement, (2) non-military sales to consumers rated AA-1, (3) non-military sales to distributors rated AA-1, (4) sales on orders rated AA-2, AA-2X, and AA-3, and (5) all other types of sales.

Approximately 80 per cent of southern yellow pine lumber is handled by wholesalers and commission-men, officials of WPB's Lumber and Lumber Products f)ivision said. Some 'contraetors working on direct military orders are having difficulty in obtaining southern yellow pine. The reports required by Direction 17 will provide information as to the movement of sbuthern yellow pine, showing how much is going to highly essential uses and how much to less essential uses. If necessary, WPB will be able, on the basis of the information obtained, to divert more southern yellow pine lumber to the highly essential war uses that are in danger of falling behind schedule, division officials pointed out.

l)irection 17 provides that a wholesaler or commissionman who does not file his report is prohibited, during the period that the report would cover, to deliver, order, or sell any southern yellow pine, even though he has received certified orders for this lumber.

Reports for April are due on or before April 15. For each succeeding month, reports are due on or before the tenth of the month.

work and \7ood Containers Sections

Washington, D. C., March 28-Transfer of OPA's lum, ber distribution, millwork and wooden containers sections from the Lumber Price Branch to the Building Materials Price Branch was announced todav bv the Office of Price Administration.

The transfer, which becomes effective immediately. is being made so that the pricing of principal building ma. terials, including lum,ber and millwork products at distributive levels, will be unified in a single branch.

As a result of the transfer, building construction men in the era of expanded building activity expe,cted to follow the war will need contact only the Building Materials Branch on matters regarding prices for lumber and other building materials, rather than both the Building Materials and Lumber Branches.

The Lumber Branch will continue to price all primary forest products, eastern softwoods, western softwoods, and hardwoods at the mill level.

Karl Mathiasen will continue as price executive of tlie Building Materials Price Branch, and John Lindeman, associate price executive of the Lumber Branch, will become associate executive of the Building Materials Price Branch.

Peter A. Stone will continue as price executive of the Lumber Price Branch, and Stervart Fathman, head of the Primary Forest Products Price Section, will become assistant price executive of the Lumber Branch.

Custom Milling and Kiln Drying o[ LumberRMPR-5 39, Vestern Softwoods

Maximum Price Regulation 539 is redesignated Revised

Maximum Price Regulation 539 and is revised and amended. This regulation becomes effective March 31, 1945.

Section 4, "What is a custom mill," has been changed to clarify the definition.

'While coverage of some handling charges has been extended, these charges have been balahced by the elimination of others. Following are some of the more specific changes in the regulation:

1. Elimination of the requirement that the custom mill absorb demurrage charges, leaving su'ch matters to be settled by negotiation between the mill and the customer.

2. Addition of ceiling prices for random widths without the present necessity of piece tallying them in order to place them in specified 'ividth pri'ce brackets.

3. Addition of one dollar per thousand board measure by a mill to open car and truck handling charge.

4. Elimir-ration of a one dollar 'charge, now permitted, for a single operation.

5. Equalization of charges for ripping and resawing certain sizes to conform with identical charges for these tn'o operations in other sizes. Redtrction in the ceiling price of working 7 /4 inch stock through pricing it as two inch instead of one inch,lvhich is considerably higher. The same amendment prices 5/4 inch and 6/4 inch lumber as one inch. The area pricing regulations permit two handling charges, each just sufficient to cover the cost of the extra services. Two dollars per thousand,board measure may be added for handling lumber between mills and kilns, rvhere it is both milled and kiln dried. Saivmills, which also do some,custom milling and kiln drying, may secure permission to 'charge the prices established from their OPA regional officb, providgd they meet certain requirements.

Sections 3 (c) and 9 (c) of the Regulation prohibit a producing mill or wholesaler from receiving compensation for arranging for custom milling for a customer. They also require that all sales of lumber which the seller arrang'es to have milled in transit must be on an f.o.b. mill basis if ceiling pri'ces for custom milling and kiln drying are charged.

SAIIN SffIOOTHNESS-The eame precisionsandere (multiple-drum) used foi fine lrrrniture prepare the flooring for Bruce factory-fi_nishing by giving it a lmoothness not possible on the job with portable equipment.

PRlllE CONDITION-Finishine starrs im- mediately after sanding, so there ii no n"ai""a grain." Also, the finishing is done with the moisture content of the flooring just right. Thie scientific control is possible"o'ntv "i"tG factor!.

PERFEGT FlLtlNG-proper flling of an oak loor is vital to the finish.-In Brude f""to""finishing a high quality eilex fller of ttie sa;e poroslty as the grain of the wood is worked into the flooring in plastic form.

PENEIRATING SEAt-The finish used on Bruce SlreaFline Floore, unlike quick'-a"vi"i surface finishee, penetra[es into the wood-anii *qlq tfe pores against wear and dht. Thig trntsh is sprayed on, then rubbed into the pores.

INFRA-RED DRYING-After filline .and sealing the finigh ig dried with Infra-re? Rav ugnts. tleat is applied uniformly for th-e depth of the film, eii-minatins thJftizard oi a spo-lty,-poroue finish. There-ig no such thine as "unfavorable drying weather."

EXTRA BUFFINGBefore waxine. hiehspeed bristle brushes and a eteel woo'i'bufer burnish the fnish into the wood, produce a .euperior surface for the application of wax.

SUPERIOR WAXING-Highest q ualirv. wear-resisting wax is rolled onto the-flooriie smoothly and uniformly then buffed ani polished by a series ofhigh-speed brushes and buffers. This is many tim-es the polishinc action customarily given a waxed flobr.

UNIFORiI COTOR-The foregoing methods also result in a uniformity 6f shide and tone on Bruce Streamline Floors which will not be found on comparable grades of flooring finished on the jo6. The natural beautv of the wood grain ie greatly enhanced.

h's the Finish thot Counts on Floor!

Bruce Streamline Floors are unmatched for beauty, wear and ease of maintenance. We confidently believe this.is the floor the home owner of the future will demand. you are invited to write for further details.
