Building Controls Transferred to Olfirce Of The Housing Expediter

Washington, D. C., March 31-The Civilian Production Administration today transferred to the Office of the Housing Expediter its controls over construction and at the same time cleared its books of all remaining orders except those required to continue distribution controls over a half-dozen scarce industrial products and commodities.

- Abolished outright are seven limitation and material (L and M) orders, four priorities regulations and several miscellaneous directions, some of rvhich had expired by their terms.

Tansferred to the Office of the Housing Expediter, in accordance with President Truman's recent Executive Order, are Veterans' Housing Program Order 1 and all other orders and regulations in support of it. Included in these are all provisions, heretofore administered by CPA, restricting construction, channelling scarce building ma.terials into authorized residential construction and providing priorities and allocation assistance to producers of materials required by home builders.

To remain on CPA's books are orders which provide for allocation of cinchona bark and cinchona alkaloids. from which quinine is produced and streptomycin, the germkilling drug; control of distribution and use of natural and synthetic rubbers, and establishment of specifications for products manufactured from them; allocation, use and inventory limits on cordage fibers and cordage products; allocation of antimony and restrictions on the sale, distribution and use of tin and cans made from tinplate or terneplate.

Also retained is Priorities Regulation 16, which provides appeals procedures.

Trn'o new regulations, Allocation Regulations I and. 2, are being issued, said John C. Houston, Commissioner of Civilian Production. They will incofporate in abbreviated form certain provisions of the basic priorities regulations transferred to OHE and will continue the framework within which CPA will carry on its sharply limited export programs.

The regulations and orders transferrecl by CPA to OHE are Priorities Regulations l, 3,5,7,71.,8,22,33 and 35;

Veterans' Housing Program Orders 'l..,'3, 4, and 5, and Order L-357.

Provisions relating to the veterans housing program in PR's 13, 28 and 32 (revoked by CPA) will be continued in regulations of the Housing Expediter.

Pending applications on Form CPA-541A for priorities assistance under PR-28 in connection 'ivith VEHP will be processed by the Housing Expediter.

CPA's actions carry out President Truman's Executive Order-9836, issued March 22 and effective April 1, which transferred to the Housing Expediter all the {unctions oI the Office of Temporary Controls with respect to the Veterans' Emergency Housing Program which have previously been administered by CPA. Simultaneously, Housing Expediter's Priorities Order 5 is being issued by the Housing Expediter adopting, ratifying and confirming the CPA regulations and orders together rvith their interpretations, and continuing them in full force and effect as of April 1, until amended or revoked.

I\{any ol the provisions of the regulations and orders being transferred to OHE have been inoperative for some time, CPA said, and have been retained principally to assure their availability, if needed, on behalf of the housing program.

All communications rvith respect to the regulations and orders transferred by CPA, including applications for authorization under them, appeals and requests for interpretation should be made to the Office of the Housing Expediter.

What's Going 0n in the Redwood Strike?

As the California Lumber Merchant goes to press, the Redwood lumber industry has labored through a strike which has been going on nearly 15 months.

Dominant issue is the union's relentless demand for the so-called "union shop,"

which means compelling a worker to join the union, in order to hold his iob.

Neither our companlr nor any of the struck Redwood operators desire to break the union. Furthermore, we have made it quite clear that we have no objection if any of our employees wish to join the union. In fact,we feel that if a man does wish to join, hes do so. But his action should be f nd of his own choice. 'We cannot. as compel such action. We have no right to tell our employees that they must join a union, or lose their jobs.

Our story is being published in paid advertising spape, in the Eureka daily newspalrers, primarily to keep our own men and the public informed. (See specimett reprodaced bere,) Many of our men have come back on the iob and more are returning each week.Ve welcome them,without prejudice.

It is our hope that this long drawn out dispute will be settled this year. Ve are anxious to supply you with H. E. Brand Redwood lumber in the quantities which we know you need so urgently.

Corner Windows Prelened In Homes ormica Invades New Field

Now Being Planned

The corner window-with its advantage of a "two-way" view-is rapidly gaining in popularity among those who lan to build new homes.

This fact is brought out in a recent nation-wide survey, conducted by Ponderosa Pine to determine which special'\pes of windows are most preferred by prospective home owners. The survey shorved that 44.6/o of those interviewed prefer corner windows. It shows, also, that corner windows are relatively more popular in the Mountain and Pacific Coast regions.

A product of modern architectural design, the corner rvindo'iv not only is a means of providing additional light and air for homes, but also adds architectural and decorative interest both to the exterior and interior of the home. Many a dark and gloomy room, it is pointed out, can be given nerv life and interest through the addition of a corner urindow.

A military expert expressed the opinion early in the late war that the thing that made Hitler invade the Scandinavian countries at that time, was coffee. Yes, COFFEE ! He said thht the Germans dearly love their coffee, and being practically without any, they just went where there were large stores of it.

It would be an unforgivable pun, I suppose, to remark that perhaps the reason Russia is driving so hard toward the Mediterranean at this time is because she loves turkey and is short on greece-so vdants to go where it is at.

Before the war started Sweden was the greatest cofiee drinking nation on earth. Denmark was next, and the United States was third. In the Scandinavian countries they keep the coffee pot on the stove all the time-not just at meal time.

The French thinker, t"*r*]U, tett Uefrirra him an immortal recipe for coffee, as follows: "It must be black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, and sweet as love." My old friend Hiram Smith, the man who founded the great Pacific Lumber Company, used to say "use just a little water and a whale of a lot of coffee, and drink it hot and fresh, and you'll have grand coffee."

Was reading the caust" ,.r"irO" of the famous French thinker, Montaigne, the other day. He was talking about riches, and he remarked: "If you want to .know what God thinks about wealth, take a look at a lot of the people he gives it to." That one d,eserves another reading.

Calvin Coolidge said: "The business which is likely to prosper most is that which aims to give the customer something more than the mere commodity he comes to buy." Who said Cal didn't talk? He spoke a large mouthful there.

Uncle Joe Stalin is a firm believer in that oft-quoted epigram that "to the victor belongs the spoils." And THAT is a famous quotation seldom credited to its real author. It was back in 1832 that William Learned Marcy wrote: "They see nothing wrong with the rule that to the victors belong the spoils of the enemy." Since then it has been quoted millions of times and credited to almost every writer in history except William Learned Marcy.

Ben Franklin's notable self-written epitaph (which he borrowed from the Dutch scholar, Erasmus) was: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer, (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn and stripped of its letterings and gildings) lies here food for worms.

"Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," says the Prayer. George Washington was one great man who lived up to that particular portion of the prayer. When he died he gave all his debtors a receipt in full for whatever they owed him. And that was no inconsiderable matter for George supported more parasites and worthless relatives than any other man*in American history.

Heard a well-informed speaker talking about-industrial conditions in England. He said that the textile workers in England produce 50 to S5o/o less per person per hour than the American textile employees. He said that a large percentage of British industrial workers deliberately work only about three days a week or as long as their wages are within the non-taxable limit. When they reach the taxing point, they quit for the week, and loaf the rest of the time. He said that it is a common occurrence for man and wife to both work that way, one of them working up to the taxable limit and then going home, while the other

Every now and then I *r*. *r,n a thought that stops me right in my tracks. Was reading a new book "The Religion of a Vagabond," by my friend Thomas Dreier, of Boston. He often sends out one of those ideas that shakes you in your shoes. He was talking about electricity, and he remarked that electricity was always here; human beings just didn't know it. He puts it in this way: "Electricity was available to Alexander, Hannibal, Buddha, Caesar, Jesus, Aristotle, Napoleon, and to everyone else. The electricity was there. Only the right thinking was absent." Read that statement over and it will give you something to think about. You are distinctly shocked at the statement that electricity was 'available to Jesus but He did not know about it because "right thinking was absent." Yet the fact remains that Dreier's statement seems to defy contradiction. Jesus WAS here, and so was electiicity. But electric lights were still nearly two thousand years away.

The hope of a nation lies in its youth. And the greatest problem facing these United States today is the fact that so large a part of its adult population has never experienced what we like to think of as "old timey Americanism." Get that fact firmly before your eyes, and you see the national problem more clearly. Today 44 per cent of our population, our youthful adults, have had no adult experience after the age of 21 with a free market for homes,

48 per cent have had no adult experience with a peacetime economy. Today 58 per cent have had no adult experience with a conservative government in Washington, having known nothing but the paternalistic philosophy of the New Deal, with its left-wing tendencies, its wasting and spending, its concentration of power in the hands of a central government, its paternalistic grip on the lives of its citizens. Today 78 per cent of our people have no recollection or knowledge of the things that followed World War One, so they can't judge the present by the past. 63 per cent of our people have no recollections of the crisis of 1929, and, the depression years that followed. You see, a great proportion of our adult citizens has never known the basic tenets on which American freedoms and liberties were built. Therefore a revival of public faith in the sound philosophies that prevailed from Bunker Hill until 1929, becomes continually more difficult. It is a big job we have before us, convincing the youth of today that what they have known in government and in economics was artificial and abnormal; that there has been and will be again, a better way of living and doing.

A survey just released by Lumbermen's Industrial Relations Committee, Inc., reveals the fact that hourly earnings in Douglas Fir logging and sawmill operations have been steadily increasing since 1936, while output per man hour has been steadily declining since 1939. According to the survey, average hourly earnings in 1946 arc 62.6o/o higher for logging, and 54.5o/o higher for sawmills than in 1941, while, during the same period, productivity has declined 16.8% for logging and 4.60/o for sawmills. Cost of labor in logging rose from about $5 per thousand in 1941 to over $10 per thousand in 1946; an increase of. over 950/6 in the cost of labor per unit of output during that period. During the same period the sawmill cost of labor per thousand rose from $6.50 to over $10.50. an increase of 62o/o' :l**

The management of a large sawmill operation reports that it recently negotiated a new labor contract with its local union, and that in doing so suggested an incentive plan of payment which would have afforded the energetic and ambitious sawmill worker to greatly increase his earnings by increasing his productivity. The proposal was turned down without discussion or consideration. motor cars, radios, and many other consumer items. /Today

Another Drunk

People will wonder what sort of company I've been keeping, running all these drunk stories of late. After reading two drunk stories in recent issues, Quincy Hardtner sends me this one:

On a bitter cold winter day a grave-digger is plying his trade in the cemetery. He gets the grave full depth and is about ready to put his shovel down, when his foot slipped and he fell into the deep grave. Falling, he hurt his back so severely that he couldn't move, so he started

yelling for help, while the severe cold slowly crept through his body. A drunk passing by heard his cries, and looked into the grave.

"Help! I'm freezing!" pleaded the man in the grave. The drunk picked up the shovel and began shoving dirt into the grave.

"No wonder you're cold," he said, "you ain't got no dirt on you."

In 1930 he started the California Builders Supply Company in Oakland. The business has made steady growth and progress under his management, and now operates three warehouses, in Oakland, Sacramento, and Fresno, doing a strictly wholesale business in hardwood and softwood plywood and doors, millwork, and insulation.

He has received national recognition in his election as a director, and secretary of the National Plywood Distributors Association, with headquarters in Chicago.

Mr. Shipp ryarried Miss Genevieve Nicholson, daughter of Ed Nicholson, widely known former head of the Pacific Door & Sash Company, Los Angeles. Thev have three children, Gevie Ann, 18, attending Stanford; Kenneth J. Jr., 16, and Edmund N., 12. They live at Walnut Creek, Calif.

With his business and family claiming practically all of his time Ken does not have much leisure ior hobbies. He plays a little golf now and then, and is a member of The University Club, Oakland. He is a man of high principle, greatly respected throughout the lumber and allied industries, and universally liked.

Cuts Lumber Prices

Los Angeles, Calif., April 1.-J. B. Wood, vice president of E. K. Wood Lumber Company, announced today that his company reduced the retail price of all grades of lumber an average of ten per cent, effective immediately.

O Eoch month in one of the leoding nolionol shelter mogozines Weyerhoeuser odvertises to millions the current month's design selection. Eoch month home plonners ore invited to use this Service which is ovoiloble qt lhe offices of retoil lumber deolers-their locol shelter merchont3.

o Where should the small home prospect go for new ideas, plans, building information, and advice?

In the majority of Americaq'"o*-onit6" he should go to the retail luntber dea)6 and. his cooperating contractor custorgeds.

The lumber dealer is the lpglcal shelter merchant, since he furnishes the materials when small homes are being built. He should therefore logically fumish practical guidance when small homes are being planned.

To help the retail lumber dealer supply this type of planning servi@, Weyerhaeuser developed the 4-SqulRE Home Building Service Program.

No Home Servlce Equols lt

The 4-squenp Home Building Service contains scores of house designs complete with working drawings, specffications, and ma' terial lists. It clearly outlines and illwtrates the fundamental principles of sound and economical construction. It also outlines the

fdndamental principles of planning for ut-

mosteconomy, convenience, and final satis- t faction. It contains detailed material lists for ordering out materials. It contains consolidated material lists for use with estimating guides for obtaining preliminary costs.

A New Home Eoch Monlh

The 4-Squann Home Building Service is kept continually up-to-date through monthly additions of house designs illustrating many of the new developments and improvements in home building which have been proved in actual use.

The Service and the retail lumber dealer's part in it are advertised every month to millions of readers interested in homes. The entire program forms a comprehensive effort to direct home prospects to retail dealers cooperating with Weyerhaeuser.

"The optimistic estimate of \\restern Pine consumption for the first quarter of 7947, u'hich u'as made three ulonths ago, \\'as actually exceecled. and the shipments ol 7295 fiittlo,., feet cluring that period 'tlere about 32a/a greatet {har-, in the same 194(r cluarter ancl almost as high as the Seco.cl first cluarter ol 1914. The regional productiou of 1063 million feet cluring the hrst three tnor.rths of 1947 broke all previotts records for this quarter :'rncl exceecled the 1946 output by about 36/c.

"This excellent irrdustry perforn.rance is the result of several factors. Der.nancl is of course at peak levels' There has been relatively little labor difliculty. The n.ranporver situation has in-rproved. Also, over most of the region, rveatirer ccnditions have been unttsuallr' faloral;le ior this season o[ the -r'ear.

"Tl're continued upu'ard trend of prices and living costs creates uncertainties as to the labor and demand factors in the general business outlook.

California Plant tVill Manulacture Brixite

An important contribution to booming western construction andihome remodeling is now being made available in increasidg abundance-thanks to the recent organization of a modern plant for the large.scale manufacture of Brixite Insulated Siding on the rvest ,coast.

Brixite, which has been manufactured for more than a decade ln Kearny, N. J., is extending its operations westward. lnsulated Sidings Inc., at 3562 Eastham Drive, C u I v e r tqr;ffii ffi fr ril fi 5 s-'6e e n I i cTFffit o- m ai-ti f a c i u r e

one of the largest plants in the country devoted exclusively to the manufacture of insulated siding. Canec Insulation Board will be used exclusively as the base for Brixite manufactured at this plant. Sales manager for western operations will be William L. irysp"q.-. vice president of Hawaiian Cane ProdudFflT

efficient insulation, reduce maintenance costs, and give added beauty and increased value.

During the rvar, the Armed Forces used many millions of feet of this siding in the construction of administration buildings, barracks, hospitals, dormitories, store rooms, mess halls, airport buildings, and other vital structures.

The U. S. Navy sponsored the world's largest insulated siding job-3,500,000 square feet of standard Brixiteenough for 2,400 average size homes-were used in a fifty million dollar project at Sampson Naval Training Station, now Sampson College, Geneva, N. Y.

-

BCeeG-e ol its countless applications in residing, new construction and modernization projects, Brixite has become increasingly popular during the past ten years r,vith siding applicators and contractors in the east. Tens of thousands of installations have used these sidings, which have stood the test of time and weather to fulfill the best expectations of both the manufacturers and consumers.

Regardless of the type of building to be modernizedhome, store, factory, office, hotel or institution-it is claimed that Brixite applied to the sidewalls 'ivill give

Brixite is scientifically designed and carefully produced to exacting standards. The core is half-inch Canec rigid insulation board; encasing the core completely is a waterproof saturant, impervious to moisture, which seals the core on all sides; a mineral blended asphalt, processed under high temperature, coats the exterior surface of the unit, after which it is covered with a special granule surface, weather-proofed fire-resistant, and handsome enough to add to the beauty of any building. Each panel is shiplapped on all four edges, fitting snugly into its neighboring panels, permanently interlocked and impervious to weather or draft.

In order to promote distribution in the western area, effective sales aids will be available. Foremost among these aids is an elaborate, full-color catalogue.

Lumber Production in 1946 Totaled 32 Billion Board Feet

Washington, D. C.-A rapid up-swing of production in 1946 broke the back oi'the lumber shortage, the National Lumber Manufacturers said recently.

Lumber output in 1946 totaled 32 billion board feet, the Asso,ciation said in releasing national production figures. This represents an increase of 4.5 billion feet over 1945 and reversed the lumber production trend in effect since the peak war output of. 1942.

The 32-billion-feet production has started the lumber industry back toward peak production. It completely reversed the outlook in the first part of last year .ivhen labor troubles, shipping difficulties and other factors held back production. The Association expects this high rate of production to continue.

"In general, the lumber shortage is norv ended," the Association said. "Construction lumber is in ample supply.

"Certain special lumber products, such as hardwood flooring are still scarce in some areas. Production of flooring, nearly rviped out under OPA price ceilings, has not yet caught up with accumulated demand, but .lvill do so soon.

"The only real problem about lumber not worked out completely is distribution. This is rapidly adjusting itself."

The 32 billion feet production was four times the amount needed for the veterans' housing program. To meet home construction needs in 1946, some 8.1 billion feet of lumber was required, according to National Housing Agency estimates as compared to the 32 billion output.

The Association also reported the supply of standing timber in good condition rvith ample stands available for cutting. It pointed out that recent figures shorv annual drain on the forests is norv approximately equalled by new growth.

The lriglrest rvar year production of lumber was in 1942, when output hit 36.3 billion. In 1943 it rvas 34.2; in 1944 it hit 32.9 and in 1915 it declined to 27.5 billion. Thus the 1946 output reversed a trend in efiect for four year.s.

Prospects for continued high output this year ard excellent the Association said, rvith every likelihood that the nation's lumber r.reeds t'ill be met.

GRICULTURAL H INTE R LAN D Opportunity For Your Community...

Because the lqrmer's occupcrtion is conducted on the lqnd where he lives, it sets the mode crnd manner oI his living. But, it does not in cny wcry crlter the lcrct that he is no less a business mcrn thcnr his urbcn cousin, or thqt crgriculture is truly big business.

Fortunqte qre the communities which hcrve cr rich crgriculturcl hinterlcrnd. It is this larm qbundcnce which keeps l<rctory wheels turning by supplying Iood and fiber lor processors and mcrnulcrcturers; cqrgoes lor cll modes ol trcnsport<rtion; cnd gives crctive support lor the lqbor crnd service oI ccrpenier, doctor crnd merchcrnt.

The community which seeks to build stcbility crnd economic security lor its luture recognizes the interdependence of industry cnd crgriculture. It is not misled into thinking oI the lcrrmer crs "dilletent" beccruse oI his wcry oI living, crnd it seeks community leaders who hcrve this wider vision ol <rgriculture's plcrce in Americcn economics.

In considering your own stcrke in the luture ol your community, it will pcy well to study crnd be inlormed on the closely woven strqnds which bind Icrm lile cnd urbcn development together. It will p<ry still more richly to lurn this knowledge into service lor your cornmunity by cciive pcrrticipction in movements in which crgriculture should be represenled. Be cr leqder in your community!
