Loan Made for 58 Homcs Under FHA Title Vl

First of the Federal Housing Authority Title VI loans to construct homes for defense workers was approved on Apil24 by Capt. W. G. Bingham, District FHA Director for Southern California.

Captain Bingham issued 58 separate mortgage insurance commitments on a $200,000 loan being made by Western Federal Savings and Loan Association to Morris A' Somers' Long 8"""h builder, to erect 58 homes for defense workers in Long Beach.

"Judgingfby the large number of other applications being ,.".i.r"l ty itt. local office, a large volume of this type of defense housing construction can be expected in Southern California during the next six months"' Captain Bingham said.

Principal difference between the new Title VI loans and theTitlellloans,underwhichamajorityoftheFHA homes were built, is that the new form of financing makes the builder a direct owner-borrower whereas under the old form it was necessary that the home be owner occupied' Title VI *",

designed by congress to speed up construction in defense industry areas and to assist workers in acquiring homes.

The recent dreadful events in the theatres of war have served, as nothing else could have done, to weld the people of this nation into one indivisibte unit, conscious of the peril to all free men.

The degree of the menace can no longer be doubted even by the most skeptical. That the pitiless power that has cast its tentacles over so much of the civilized world will eventually point its finger straight across the seas at this land of the free if Britain should falr-it seems foorish even to doubt. :1. :t ,t

Our national defense preparations of an all-out character assume enlarged significance today, and call for the con_ secration of effort of every man and dollar, to the end that we prepare ourselves with the utmost speed and efficiency to meet the growing terror from the East; to save Eng- land, and to save ourselves.

Today every man, -rj",..j child who loves America and loves freedom, joins together in a fervent resolve to do anything, sacrifice anything, to assist our Government in this vital hour to gird up its mighty potential strength, to the end that right may eventually triumph.

we have need for ""o;""; ,"Ln, ,n" kind of faith our fathers had at Valley Forge; faith in our country and its strength; faith in our Government and its leaders; faith in the mighty army and navy we are so rapidly preparing; faith in ourselves and in our God. These are the faiths we lean upon now.

we are a great nuoor"l ".a""o"r, our resources are

practically unlimited. When we are fully prepared for the defense of our shores, the prophetic words of Lincoln to the effect that all the armies of Europe corrld never by force make a footprint in the Blue Ridge or drink from the waters of the Ohio-will be provable. But we must be prepared-and fully prepared. And we must remember that there were no war planes in Lincoln,s day.

x:N<*

So now we bend our every resource, at whatever sacrifice, to arming ourselves as we never dreamed of arming before, to meet the most incredible concentration of ingen_ ious brute force and cold ferocity that this worrd has ever known.

,t !t ,(

What a powerful nation can do when geared one hun_ dred per cent over a long series of years to preparing for total war, is fearfully demonstrated today in the Nazi war machine. Holding a dozen nations in bondagg she still seems to employ an incredible number of men and machines to fight wherever she wilr. one wonders where all the Nazi soldiers come from. ***

So we, a peace-loving, happy nation of people are forced through no choice of our own to take up the weapons of war; weapons of a character befitting the menace that confronts us. ,t * 't<

And this happy country becomes a great armed camp, greater with every passing day. And thus it must con_ tinue until that happy day arrives when the horror of despotism and brute force no longer hovers like a mantle of darkness over the free people of the earth.

God bless America!

Lumber Group Enters Consent Detee Association lssueg Statemcnt on

Six lumber trade associations, 32 lumber companies and 20 individuals entered pleas of nolo contendere to charges of violating the Sherman anti-trust law at Los Ange'ies on April 16 and were assessed fines totaling gl07,Od by United States District Judge Harry A. Hollzer.

They were charged in an indictment returned on Octo_ ber 4, last, with violation of the Sherman anti_trust law in the production, manufacture and sale in interstate commerce of lumber obtained from Douglas fir, Western Red cedar, Port Orford cedar, Sitka spruce and Western Hemlock.

A consent decree whereby the defendants agreed to eliminate the practices complained of by the gov-ernment was entered by order of Judge Hollzer. The consent decree also provided for the organization of a West Coast in_ spection bureau within the West Coast Lumbermen,s'As_ sociation.

The trade associations, each of which was fined $5000, are: National Lumber Manufacturers, Association, Wash_ ington, D. C. i West Coast Lumbermen,s Association Seattle, Wash.; Columbia Valley Lumbermen's Associa_ tion, Portland, Ore.; Willamette Valley Lumbermen,si Association, Eugene, Ore.; Intercoastal Lumber Dstributors Association, New York City; and the Lumber and Allied Products fnstitute, Los Angeles. The court, however, sus_ pended all but 91000 of the fine against the Lumber and Allied Products Institute, as it is no longer active. _,Fines ranging from g10OO to $4000 were assessed against 32 lumber companies, and fines of $500 each were assessed against 19 individuals. Imposition of sentence was sus; pended against 27 lumber companies, the defendants being placed on probation for one year, and dismissals grantei to l4 companies and individuals.

DORMITORIES BEING MADE OF F'IR PLYWOOD FOR SAN DIEGO DEFENSE HOUSING

Fred J. Early, Jr. Co. of San Francisco has the contract for building for the Government 14 dormitories and two utility buildings at San Diego. The entire buildings are being fabricated from Douglas Fir plywood. The sections are being prefbbricated by plywood Structures of San Di_ ego, a concern formed by Bennett & Stewart at National City, San Diego.

,A Lonsent Ueqee

Seattle, Washington, April 16, lg4l_,,The acceptance of a consent decree by the west coast Lumbermen'"-A."ociation, from a Federal Court in Los Angeles, is not an admission of wrongdoing,,, stated Corydon Wagner, presi_ dent of the Association in Tacoma today, ,,ft is,,; continued Mr. Wagner, "essentially an agreement to revise business practices in accordance with new rules for the game.,, Mr. Wagner quoted from the decree itself :

"rt appears to the court that the Defendents have asserted and do assert their innocence of any violation of Iaw, but have consented in writing to the making and entering of this decree upon condition that neithei such consent nor this decree shall be evidence, admission or ad_ judication that the Defendants have violated any law of the United States.,, _ "The Douglas fir manufacturers,,, Mr. Wagner stated, "have followed the rules of the game as they understood them. The Federal Courts themsilves have been confused as to just what the rules are. The Government's own economic policy has been uncertain. In the days of NRA, industry was compelled to do many things_tiren held to be in the public interestwhich are now regarded as grounds for criminal indictment. Industry has had to de_ termine its course in the face of a good deal of uncertainty and confusion.

"A recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, in the Madison Oil Cases, seems to extend the Sherman Act to many situations which formerly were not supposed to come under it. The Supreme Court has changed the rules of the game for industry. practices long recognized by business and by the public, apparently Uylne Gl.rern_ ment itself, as clean hits-are now marked as fouls or errors in the box-score.

"Despite legal and economic questions raised by the present policy of the Government, the Douglas fir manu_ facturers have agreed to accept it. The Consent Decree for the West Coast lumber industry means that its trade association must lay out a new diamond, change its team signals, and set up a system of play that accords with the new interpretation of the rules.

"The plea of 'nolo contendere' entered by the Associa_ tion and a number of West Coast manufacturers is simply

a decision not to contest the charges' This requires the acceptance of fines imposed by the Court. The only alternative would be long and costly litigation that would absorb the energies of our group for many months' This alternative the Association is not ready to accept, notwithstanding our conviction that we have violated no law' Aside from other considerations, the West Coast lumber industry is absorbed in many phases of National Defense' The Association is being called upon for emergency services. It is not the time when the energies and resources of this industry should be poured into a legal struggle of long duration.

"Hence," said Mr. Wagner, "we have concluded to play the game in accordance with the new rules and to accept the orders of the umpire. We do this without any consciousness of willful violation of law'

"The cooperative activities of the West Coast lumber industry, built up around its Association, have always beefi out in the open. Our grade-marking, for example, was developed under Government encouragement through th Federal Bureau of Standards. Of course the Association had a selfish interest in promoting it, to make West Coast lumber.more satisfactory to its users. This was one of the rules of the game-as everyone played it. Now the Department of Justice regards grade-marking as so widespread and important to lumber users that its restrictions to members of an association is monopoly. Well ! The umpire changes the rules; and we abide by his decision'

"Like grade-marking, our other activities have been carried out in good faith, to meet essential needs of West Coast lumber and without injury to the public. This was true of our industry meetings on trade conditions; of the efforts to keep supply and demand in reasonable balance; of the distribution of differential price lists and recommended shipping weights. We still believe that these services represented business progress; that they benelited the consumers of lumber as much as the manufacturers'

"We shall play the new game in good faith; but we still maintain that nothing was wrong with the old one'"

Two Records For FHA Home Financing

Two records for FHA home financing in Northern California already have been shattered since the first of the year, it was announced by the district office of the FHA.

Indicating that home building in this area is continuing to gain momentum is the fact that the week ending April 4 set an all time high in the district office for mortgages accepted for insurance. Commitments were issued during the week on 439 homes for a total of $2,005,800.

The week of February 7 was said to have established a record for mortgages insured, the total being 475 home loans insured for $2,O7O,7N.

"Since FHA home ownership in Northern California has bdcome a two million dollar a week business, it obviottsly is a major enterprise," declared D. C. McGinness, district director.

"It means not only that more houses are being built, but that more and more families investing in homes are demanding the protection and safeguards with which the FHA surrounds every insured mortgage transaction."

Distribution of lTestern Pine Statistical Reports

Portland, Oregon, April 22.-S. V. Fullaway, Jr., Secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association, has reIeased the following statement from the organization's headquarters in the Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon, regarding the distribution of its statistical reports: ,,Our Association, in the past, has furnished to members of the industry, whether they belonged to the Assocation or not. copies of any statistical reports compiled from individual reports submitted by the respective cooperating mills. In addition it has furnished the trade press with its Weekly Barometer and current prices of certain volume items; has mailed gratis to numerous Government agencies a wide variety of statistical information; and has taken subscriptions to its Weekly Barometer at $5.00 per year. Many individual requests for specific statistical facts have been answered, without charge.

"We believe that the past policy has resulted in furnishing to interested persons virtually all the industry statistics that have been wanted. However. in order to make doubly sure that Association statistics are fully and fairly available to the purchasing and distributing trade, the Western Pine Association wishes to make known the fact that it now will accept from wholesalers, commission men, retailers, industrial users, contractors or other buyers of Western Pine lumber and lumber products subscriptions to any of its statistical reports. A schedule of subscription prices, based on cost, will be furnished upon application.

"Our Association will, of course, continue to furnish to cooperating mills, other lumber associations and the trade press without charge the same information it has heretofori."

\(/est Coast Lumber lndustry Pledges its Resources to Meet Delense Needs

Seattle, Washington, April n, 194I.-Production to the full limit of its resources to meet the rising crisis in national defense is the order of the day for the West Coast lumber industry, Col. W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said today, in asking "all-out public support for the industry in doing the job the Government expects it to do." He cited recent statements by William S. Knudsen and John D. Biggers which declared the next four months to be the most critical period on the industrial defense front, with shipbuilding, defense housing, the new cantonment proglram' expansion of railroads, and of 784 industrial plants and other construction being of No. 1 importance.

"The office of Production Management recently estimated total military and merchant marine lumber requirements over a 3O-month period-July l, 194O, to December 31.I942-at 8,500,000,000 board feet," Colonel Greeley said. "In the World War but 6,000,000,000 feet were used for the same purposes. The Government looks to Oregon and Washington for the main supply of this basic war material as it looks to Pennsylvania and Ohio for steel and to Michigan for tanks, trucks and planes.

"In shipbuilding, Mr. Knudsen points out that 'the urgency for speed is extreme-A gratifying start has been made-some new ships are already being delivered ahead of schedule. On the other hand, it is only a start-this program outstrips anything ever attempted as to time, volume and complexity.' 3,40O ships are scheduled for construction, and a great number will be of wood. What West Coast lumber production means to this program may be visualized by the fact that no other region can supply the large structural timbers required for shipyard construction, or the dense structural keels of 7O-foot length which are in immediate demand for emergency shipbuilding in yards as far from the Northwest as Miami' Florida, or dense vertical grain decking stock in lengths of 40 feet and upwards for battleshiPs.

"Mr. Knudsen states that Army and Navy construction is better than half behind us' TlTis one job embodies 44,50O

buildings and 95,000 tent frames and utilities. The work on Naval base facilities, air fields and storage depots is well advanced and they are expected to be ready for use in large part within the next few months if the flow of materials to the projects continues. Over half of two bilion dollars worth of factory expansion is accomplished and sustained effort will complete this vast job on schedule. Defense housing is at last started, wit}r. 5,424 units completed in 23 localities, 4O,00O ready to start construction, and 72.803 units allocated as ol March D. From 28 to 34 new Army cantonments are projected' About 4O per cent of West Coast production is already going into such defense uses.

"The defense demand upon the industry will certainly increase, in both volume and for special items of absolute necessity. The industry has pledged its resources without stint or limit to do its part on the job the Government has asked it to do. All-out support is asked from the people of the Pacific Northwest, on the basis of the following statement by Mr. Knudsen:

"'Over across the ocean a battle of life and death is being fought-in the field, in the air, and in the shop. Over here. thank God, we have only the battle of the shop, but it is just as serious, just as important, just as indispensable, that we may not be in the same position here I sometimes am afraid that we haven't quite realized the serious' ness of the battle against time. The next four months might be crucial in the whole history of the world and if we can only save part of a month in these four, it might mean everything in our future and the future of our children."

Comm etce Department Comments on Forty-Year Low in American Lumber Exports

Washington, April ZZ.-Computations based on recent Department of Commerce statistics indicate that American lumber exports dropped oft ZlTo from 1939 during 19,10; and that the year ended with approximately 13lo less move_ ment of lumber in export than at the lowest level of the depression period in 1932.

An export trade which ordinarily accounted for between 8/o and. l07o of. total domestic production, amounted to only 3.2/o of that production in 19,1O. The Department has also pointed out that this export trade is often a controlling factor in the industry,s profit or loss position.

The Department says:

"The export trade is important in maintaining a healthy condition in the lumber industry. Many grades and sizes are produced in excess of domestic requirements, yet are in demand in foreign lands. In the South and on the pacific Coast the very location of the industry makes it desirable, if not essential that both foreign and domestic business is available for profitable operation and utilization.

"No other country possesses forest resources so rich in variety of valuable species, both hardwoods and softwoods, suitable for so many construction and industrial purposes. At the same time the f'orests of the United States offer unlimited possibilities for sustained yield production providing adequate markets exist to make suitable forestry management profitable."

Other export industries have been able during the war to make considerable increases in their sales to Latin America. However, as this review states, .,it has been difficult if not impossible for the American lumber export industry to supplant markets closed as a result of the European War, and the dwindling of purchases in the Orient, in other parts of the world. In Latin America most countries have plentiful native timber resources which can be used in large measure to meet local demand except for high grade construction lumber.

The exports to Latin America include U. S. Government purchases for the Canal Zone, and in some other markets include imports by American enterprises.

Pointing to the 4Gyear low point in lumber export in 194O, the Department also mentions that the estimated lumber production in the United States last year was Z7/o under 79D, but that export was 72/o under l9D.

Mentioning that British and Australian lumber purchases are now made chiefly in Canada because of Empire preference; the Canadian wartime restriction on imports of hardwoods and the effort to sell more lumber f,or dollar exchange; the Department summarizes the trend of exports-imports :

"fn the decade ended with 1930 United States lumber and log exports were from three to four times larger in quantity and value than imports of equivalent materials. In more recent years, however, particularly in 1938, 1939, and 194O, imports have been almost equal to exports; in fact, for periods (in certain months) softwood lumber imports have exceeded our exports of such products."

The export of lumber ln I94O was 853 million feet. This is the latest year's export record for the American industry, which for several years has been a target for foreign tariff preferences and discriminations and the victim of foreign shipping subsidies, of which the Department of Commerce says:

"Since about 1870 the United States has been the largest lumber-producing country in the world, and for many years previous to 1930 was the major lumber exporting nation. This has been a logical development for no other country possesses such large, commercially accessible forest areas located in relative proximity to tidewater."

Largest American Trees Will Be Located and Prot ected

San Francisco, April 16If Paul Bunyan, legendary lumberjack of the Northwoods, hears about what's going on in the California forests he may be expected to pay this State a visit.

The American Forestry Association is seeking the interest and cooperation of private land owners, lumbermen, conservation agencies, and outdoor people in recording and protecting the largest specimens of trees throughout the State and Nation.

So rangers of the U. S. Forest Service have volunteered to keep a woodsman's eye open for record breaking tall timber of every species, and also to watch for Paul Bunyan, just in case the old logger should decide to wield his broad axe on the forest monarchs after they are located and recorded.

When the biggest trees of each species have been finally and definitely determined, the American Forestry Association will issue certificates to discoverers and owners. The Assocation is asking that f'ull information and photographs of every giant tree be sent to Association headquarters at 919 Seventeenth St., N. W., Washington, D. C.

Among many famous trees of California which seem assured of honors are an incense cedar, circumference more than 26 feet, on the Shasta National Forest; a juniper of over 31 ,feet circumference near the Carson Pass Highway on the Eldorado National Forest; a coast live oak over 31 feet circumference and estimated to be more than 1000 years old near the former Bouquet Canyon CCC camp on the Angeles National Forest'

The largest known conifer in southern California is a giant sugar pine located in the San Bernardino National Forest and dedicated to Supervisor Joe Elliott.

Another enormous tree is a canyon live oak 70O years of age on the Stanislaus Forest, eight miles east of Tuolumne. Twenty years ago the citizens of Tuolumne County subscribed a fund to have the tree properly cared for by a tree doctor.

Ponderosa Pine \Toodwork Launches National Advertising Program

In a national advertising program in consumer and trade magazines, beginning in April and May issues, ponderosa Pine Woodwork is offering ideas that should appeal to lumbermen.

Magazine advertisements illustrate well-designed parts of attractive residences. Accompanying plans or isometric drawings show how each illustration is part of an efficient and practical floor plan. Subsequent advertisements will illustrate living rooms, dining rooms, attics, basements and other rooms in the house where doors and windows can make homes more attractive, more convenient, and can contribute greatly to a home's general practicability.

In addition to a program of advertising in magazines such as Better Homes & Gardens, American Home, House & Garden and House Beautiful, Ponderosa pine Woodwork is also producing a 3?-page,8/2xll "f dea,, Book. This book is called "Open House." It illustrates many ideas for the use of doors and windows, and their contribution. in fact their necessity, insofar as sound planning of each room in the house is concerned. Many interesting photographs have been obtained, and most of them are further defined by the use of small isometric drawings or floor plans to give the reader a complete explanation of how he, too, may plan ef_ ficiently through the better use of doors and windows.

Not only are doors and windows vitally important in ob-

Modern Minimum-Cost Home Designs Architectural Gems

"Among the hundreds of inquiries which we receive from prospective home builders," says Orrie W. Hamilton, chairman of Southern California Homes Foundation, "the great majority are on plans for minimum-cost homes.

"These people do not want the type of home that was at one time the only 'minimum' home available-square' box-like and without style or charm. Although economy is their chief requirement, modern families want economy in their homes together with eye-appeal.

"The building materials industry has realized that many more families would become home owners if they could find designs for building with the least possible outlay of cash and also for creating pride of ownership' For this large group of potential home builders, a wide selection of small homes that combine style and low cost are now available as a result of the sustained efforts of the industry during the Past several Years.

"From this group we have selected the 'Bluewing' design, shown in the illustration, as one of the rnost attractive minimum homes available.

"With an exterior of either siding or shingles, and a bright roof and blinds, it will be a contribution to the neighborhood. The front terrace adds a touch of distinction to the simple, symmetrical front. The front offset provides exterior beauty and interior space'

"The floor plan exemplifies economical use of space' There is neither waste nor crowding' For the size of the house, there is an amazing amount of closet and storage space. In the 'Bluewing'the building industry has brought one of the outstanding advantages of the modern apartment into the field of the small home.

"With its artful combination of style and econo'my, the 'Bluewing' will be the realization of many a renter's hopes for 'a little home of his own.'"

Commercial Standards for Douglas Fir Doors

Having recently established industry-wide construction specifications for factory fitted entrance closures, Douglas fir door mills of the Pacific Northwest now are manufacturing both inside and outside doors in accordance with Commercial Standards.

This industry comprises the only group of door builders to set forth minimum standards for its products to f'acilitate marketing. For three years these manufacturers have followed a Commercial Standard (CS73-38) set for old growth Douglas fir standard stock doors.

The quality specifications for fir entrance doors, recorded by the Department of Commerce as CS91-41 covers the prefit doors first introduced two years ag'o for easy installation at home entrances. These doors, ofiered in 27 difrerent designs to harmonize with all types of house architecture, are trade-marked "Tru-Fit." They are manufactured in regular sizes of 3 ft. by 6 ft., 8 in., and 3 by 7 ft.; thickness is 1%. in.

The nerv standard specifies that material used shall be of IN% oId growth Douglas fir heartwood, kiln-dried and with the surfaces smoothly sanded. These specifications, agreed upon by manufacturers and approved by lumber dealers and specifiers, also cover inspection and packaging of the doors which are scuff-stripped for shipment.

When Douglas fir door mills introduced the "Tru-Fit" line they pointed to the basic feature, in addition to durability, as that of being ready for immediate hanging at the job without the sawing and planing necessary to fit other doors. The line now comprises an important part of the production in the mass-output door mills located near the stands of Douglas Fir.

The standard has been printed in bulletin form by the United States printing office. Copies can be secured by writing Fir Door Institute, Tacoma Building, Tacoma, Wash., or to the Division of Trade Standards. National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C.

This issue carried a two-Page story, with illustrations, on the Union Lumber Company's "Big Prosperity Special," a half-mile-long train of fifty cars laden with Redwood lumber. Each of the cars of lumber represented orders by dealers in the various communities of Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa and Marin Counties-orders made necessary because of the big revival of building in these counties' At each stopping place, where cars were dropped off, elaborate ceremonies were conducted under the supervision of the chamber of commerce and service clubs.

Paramount Hollywood studios used over 2,000,00O feet of lumber in its set-building enterprises in 1930. This was divided into approximately 600,000 feet of Redwood,800,000 feet of ,Douglas fir, and 600,000 feet of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine.

Estimated Consumption of Western Pine Lumber for Second Quarter oJ 1941

Portland, Oregon, March ?F-In a statement issued here today by the Western Pine Association, an estimate is given of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western Pine region for the second quarter of 194L. The following is the statement in full:

It is now apparent that shipments from the Western pine region for the first quarter of 1941 will total about 1123 million feet, an increase of Z7fi/o over the same period last year and the largest volume which the region has moved during the first three months of any year in its history.

General business activity continues to expand. Seasonally, construction is exceedingly active, with residential build_ ing showing consistent gains over similar periods last year. All indications point to an active lumber demand through- , out the year. The Lumber Survey Sub-committee, U. S. Department of Commerce, states in its February report that the consumption of lumber for building, millwork, iailroads and fabricating industries is heavy with prospects for a continuation of the strong demand, that the outlook f,or retail yard sales is good, and that defense purchases, although probably past the peak, can be expected to continue as a strong factor in demand.

Based on such general predictions and all other available information relative to the use of our products, it is now estimated that during the second quarter of 1941 the consumption (shipments) of 'Western pine Lumber will approximate 1541 million feet. This would indicate a vol_ ume of shipments 281 million feet in excess of the 1263 million feet shipped during the same period a year ago.

Promoted to Sales Department

Jim Kirby has been promoted from the shipping depart_ ment to the order desk in the sales department of Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco.

Jim, who has been in charge of the shipping department for the past several years, has many friends among the dealers in the San Francisco Bay district who will be glad to hear of his advancement.

Who think their ways and theirs alone are best, If you can yield a point or even lose one

And make your loss the subject of a jest, If you can give and take upon life's highway

Where great adventures wait, new scenes unfold, If you can take the plans another ofiers

And help to sift the useless dross from goldIf you can lend your wise co-operation

To worthy undertakings small and great, If you can give your eager, loyal service

To the upbuilding of the home and state, If you can work together with your brothers Shoulder to shoulder, scorning strife and greed, Taking no mean advantage, thinking only Of the assuagement of a human need-

If you can make a timely contribution

REDWOOD FOR PUERTO RICO STRUCTURES

United States Engineers, San Juan, puerto Rico, are using 250,000 feet of California Redwood for construction purposes.

Southwest Lumber Mills Uscs Teco Roof Design in Erection o[ Company Store

Washington, April l7--The Southrvest Lumber Mills, Inc., of McNary, Arizona, became the most recent lumber company to use the industry's own system of construction in the erection of one of its buildings, incorporating 50-ft. timber connector roof trusses in the design of its new general store which has just been completed.

The structure measures 100 x lN and includes a drug store, dry goods department, and a section for groceries, meats and vegetables designed to accommodate between 300 and 400 persons. The drug store and dry goods department are each 25'in width and run along opposite sides of the grocery and provisions department which is 5O across, and 100 in dePth.

Belgian type trussed rafters spanning 50 between supports are used in the roof construction. They are framed with 2" x E' Ponderosa pine lumber and have been designed to carry a snow fall of more than four feet. Split ring and shear plate timber connectors are used at the splice joints and the height between floor and bottom chord is 20 feet.

Satisfaction with the Teco system of construction, which was new to the fabricating crew, was expressed by the Superintendent of the assembly workmen who stated that the roof was so strong "you could drive an automobile over it."

National Debnse Brings Administrative Shifts in Forest Service

San Francisco, April 19-The impacts of national defense on California's natural resources brought an announcement of changes in the U. S. Forest Service. Regional headquarters here disclosed that Russell W. Beeson, supervisor of the Modoc National Forest in northeastern California, will assist Regional Forester S. B. Shorv in national defense activities of the Forest Service.

Mr. Beeson is a veteran forester of 20 years in high posts. He has been supervisor of the Modoc Forest since 1935.

Supervisor Joe Elliott of Sequoia National Forest, 33 years a public servant in the Forest Service, has been named supervisor of lModoc Forest, the fourth national forest in California of which he has been supervisor. Supervisor Elliott's appointment is eftective early in April.

Norman L. Norris, assistant supervisor of the Angeles National Forest and for many years a ranger and assistant supervisor of the Sequoia National Forest, replaces Mr. Elliott as supervisor of the Sequoia Forest.

fncreased demands upon lumber, forage, rvater supplies and other resources of the national forests have called for added administration and protection during the preparedness months, Regional Forester Show said.

The Forest Service, with 18 national fors515 in California and southwestern Nevada, is guardian of 20,@0,000 acres of public lands in this area.

Joint Congressionaf Report on Forestry Asks for Increased Ftre Controf Funds

Washington, April l4-"America is in transition from a philosophy of exploitation to one of planning and apply- ing sustained yield management and orderly utilization.,' Thus wrote Senator John H. Bankhead in transmitting to Congress the long-heralded report of the Joint Congressional Committee on Forestry. The letter of transmittal, dated March 24, 1941, suggests that ,,the knowledge necessary to accomplish this transition is as varied and com_ plex as are the forest conditions and their economic and social relations."

More notable for its recommendations to Congress than for its factual findings, the Committee recommends that the authorization for cooperative protection against fire on private and state owned forest lands be increased from $2,500,000 to $10,000,000.

Without suggesting direct federal intervention to achieve that forest economy which will put to more intensive use one-third of our total land area, the Committee recommends that the States be given three to five years in which to pass legislation providing adequate forest fire protection systems and regulations governing minimum forestry practices. For encouragement along these lines, the Committee intimates that allotments to the States, above those generally available under the present Clarke-McNary authorization of $2,500,000 be limited to states whose legislation and administration proves satisfactory to the Secretary of Agriculture. '

Commenting on the Committee's Report, Dr. Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, said:

"The significant fact in the report of the Committee is that it chooses to adhere to the proven policy of federal cooperation. It proposes a pattern of federal, state and private action, which within 10 years should see the .forest problem' well on the way to a satisfactory nation-wide solution.

"In discharging itself from further activities the Committee has apparently done so in an atmosphere friendly to the forest industries and considerate of their difficult

problems. The report will draw some fire. But the recommendations, if followed, will sustain what we have always thought to be a good guide, namely, ,Good forestry is a local matter.' I see no tenable grounds for opposing the principle that the United States government determine the conditions on which, and the purposes for which new authorizations of appropriations of federal funds are made. f befieve, however, that Congress should not seek to put new strings on authorizations made fifteen years ago and I do not think it will do so.,,

No formal legislation is proposed by the Committee, but the sixteen recommendations which complete the report, provide the basis for a national forest program in which the keynote continues to be largely one of federal cooperation rather than federal domination. In addition to the proposal for increased federal participation in cooperative forest fire control, these recommendations include provision for cooperative sustained yield units to encourage reciprocal management of more or less contiguous tracts of private timber and national forest lands; provision for long-term, low interest loans to forest and naval stores operators; more adequate support of research in forest products and forest management; continuation of the present program of land acquisition for national forests, together with more tangible federal encouragement to the States for the purchase of lands for State forests; and other matters of national significance.

The report is signed by all members of the Joint Congressional Committee on Forestry whose membership is as follows:

Senator John H. Bankhead, 2d, of. Alabama, chairman; Representative Hampton P. Fulmer, of South Carolina, vice chairman; and Senators Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina; D. Worth Clark, of Idaho; William J. Bulow, of South Dakota; Chares L. McNary, of Oregon; and Repr€sentatives Wall Doxey, of Mississippi; Daniel A. Reed, of New York; and Harry L. Englebright, of California; and Walter M. Pierce, of Oregon.

NLMA Modernizing Booklet -- How to Put Committees Scheduled to Meet New Life and Style in the "Old Homestead" in Washington M.y 8-15

Washington, March 25-Modernizing business can be created on almost any residential street in America !

To help lumber merchants generate more of this kind of "plus" butter-and-bread trade, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association has just released. a new 24page, two-color suggestion booklet, illustrating how 18 common types of 25 to l@-year-old American homes may be successfully and profitably modernized. The new booklet is entitled "There Is Plenty of Life Left in the Old Homestead."

The booklet has been so prepared that the outside back cover is available for the .individualized message of any lumberman or builder who may imprint there either a full page advertisement, or his name, address, telephone number, etc.

While copies of the new booklet, which also contains suggestions for interior modernizing, are available without charge to interested lumbermen, a charge of loc per copy is made for single copies sent to non-lumber individuals. The quantity price to lumber men is the printing cost-or 6c each.

Closets and Storage Spaces

Closets and Storage Spaces, Farmers' Bulletin No. 1865, is a new bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture. In recent years the Department has had many inquiries from prospective builders on problems covered in this publication.

The contents include clothes closets-fittings for clothes closets, coat closets, and bedroom closets; linen closets; bathroom storage; kitchen storage; food storage rooms; dining-room storage; living-room storage; cleaning closets; sewing closets; farm business center, and out-ot-door storage. Detailed sketches of the various closets and storage spaces are shown. Retail dealers will find this publication a valuable addition to their office libraries.

The bulletin can be secured from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., as long as the free supply lasts. When this supply is exhausted copies may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., for 5 cents per copy, in coin.

Washington, D. C., April 2-Spring meetings of the Executive Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association has been scheduled for May 14 and 15 at the Association Offices in Washington and will be accompanied this year by three other meetings of great industry importance. They are the Manufacturers Committee on Lumber Standardization, scheduled to meet at the Association Offices on May 8, 9 and l0; the Committee on Forest Conservation to meet at the Mayflower Hotel, May 12 and 13; and the Special Committee on Administration of the Wage-Hour Law, May 12 and 13 at the Mayflower Hotel.

Much urgent business iS before the Association at this time. Amendments to lumber standards and changes in their applications to grading rules and inspection services have become necessary. The Committee on Forest Conservation will wish to consider the problem of national forest policy and prospective Federal and State legislation in the light of recommendations now made in Congress by the Joint Congressional Forestry Committee. The announced intention of the Administrator of the Wage-Hour Law to appoint an industry committee brings new problems before the Association's Special Committee on this subject.

The regular Executive Committee mqeting is scheduled so that it may act on recommendations which result from these other conferences. Important other general business on the agenda of the Executive Committee will be the proposed extension of the Public Relations Program and the cooperation of the lumber and timber products industries with the National Defense agencies. Exact schedules have not yet been developed for these meetings.

How Lumber Looks

even though at the expense of their regular trade. The Redwood inventories in all grades are very badly depleted with some items of dry lumber being out of the picture entirely at the moment. In view of this condition it would seem to be smart for lumber dealers to try to anticipate their requirements so that they may have adequate stocks to supply the demand
