How Lumber Looks

Seattle, Washington, April 13, I945.--:The rveekly average of West Coast lumber production in March (4 rveeks) was 136,782,000 board feet, or 84.3 per cent of t94I-I944 average, according to the .West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 152,707,Offi b.f.; shipments 141,144,000. Weekly averag'es for February were: Production, 149,063,000 b.f. (91.9 per cent of the 1941-1944 average); orders, 153,556,000 ; shipments, 153,479,0O0.

Thirteen weeks for 1945, cumulative production I,879,449,W0 b.f.; 13 weeks, 1944, 2,O9Z,2U2,UJO; 13 weeks, 1943, t,670,343,Cn,0.

Orders for l3 rveeks of 1945 break down as follows : rail, 1,563,395,000 b.f. ; domestic cargo, 278,1O5,0W; export, 51,135,00O ; local, 180,623,000.

The industry's unfilled order lile stood at 1,015,386,000 b.f. at the end of March ; gross stocks at 416,938,000.

Again in March West Coast lumber production dropped and log supply grelv less, reflecting a cumulative effect of freezes and snorvs of late winter with shortages of manpower, equipment and truck tires. Log supply may be the bottleneck of the rn'hole year for tl-re West Coast industry, or until a break in the war situation fills its lack of rnen, tires and tools.

The industry's manporver requirements have risen to a

peak by force of lurnber requirements deemed essential by General E,isenhower for military purposes, in reconstruction of England's war shattered housing. This judgment is back of allocations of lumber for British housing, through direct lumber shipments and in the medium of prefabricated hombs. It is evident that for the duration of the war in Europe we must expect closer and closer control of West Coast industry output to supplv the lumber that military authorities decide is needed.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended April 7,105 mills reporting, gave orders as 62,O22,W feet, shipments 63,868,000 feet, and production 59,187,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 351,325,000 feet.

The Southern 7,89 units (136 feet, shipments feet. Orders on 552,000 feet.

Can Buy Plywood on Doctor's Prescription Opent \Tholerale Lumbe r O(frce

Tacoma, lMash., April 9-It's a fact !

Now you can buy plywood on a doctor's prescription'

For a recent revision of the War Production Board order limiting the salg of fir plywood says: "Ratings (to purchase panels) rvill be granted to individuals where the plywood is to be used as a bed support when specified by a physician's prescription."

Why such an order ?

For years doctors have advised patients to place a of plyr,r'ood between springs and mattress to prevent strain due to sagging, ill-fitting be{s. But as plywood norv is a vital war material, it has not been available for ordinary civilian uses.

Stuart C. Smith has opened a wholesale lumber office in the Parkway Building, Pasadena, and will operate under his own name. The telephone numbers are SYcamore 2' 3837-and ZEnith 6633.

Stuart has been connected with the wholesale lumber business for many years and is widely known to the Southern California lumber trade. He will retain his connections with Sierra Lumber Products of Pasadena.

Hi Appointed General Mcrncrger

Baugh Bros. & Co., Los Angeles, announces the appointment of Pat Sublett as general manager during the absence of Robert P. Baugh who has gone in the Service.

Months ago Dr. Noble W. Jones of Portland (Ore') Clinic urged WPB to permit purchase of plywood for orthopedic treatment. Across the nation, too, Lewis & Conger department store in New York City sought to supply their customers plywood for "bed boards" r'hen prescribed by doctors.

Now, the \ /PB order opens the rvay for plywood to become a therapeutic material. But take your prescription to the retail lumber dealer, not to the druggist' And, until military demands lessen, it will take more than a doctor's order to get fir plywood for building a house, garage, barn or boat.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club Meeting

Commander A. W. Scott, who was the first combat pilot of the British Royal Navy Air Service in World War II, world traveler and radio commentator, was the speaker at the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club meeting held at the University Club, Los Angeles, Monday noon, April 23. His talk, "A Graphic Word Picture of the War in the Pacific," was enjoyed by the large attendance.

C. W. Pinkerton, Lumbermen's Governmental Service Bureau, Whittier, talked briefly on legislation matters norv before the State legislature which is in session at Sacramento.

Due to the absence of President Roy Stanton, who was in the Northwest, Vice President Bob Osgood presided. George Clough introduced the speaker.

Pat has been connected with the wholesale lumber business in the Los Angeles territory for a long period and is 'rvell known to the trade.

William E. Baugh, who is a member of the firm, has been overseas with the Army in Italy for the past three vears.

E. W. Stuchell, president of the Eclipse Mill Co., Everett, Wash., and Wm. C. Daniels, assistant manager of the Van Deinse Lumber Sales Co., Portland, Ore., spent several days in Los Angeles around the middle of April on a combined pleasure and business trip. Mrs. Stuchell and Mrs. Daniels accompanied them on the trip.

Mr. and Mrs. Stuchell went on 'to El Paso, and also visited Pecos, Texas, where their son, Harry Stuchell, received his wings and was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps. On their return to Los Angeles, they met I\fr. and N{rs. Daniels, ancl the partv leftfor the Northwest.

House-Passed Forestry Appropriations Studied bv Senate Sub-Committee

Forest Service appropriations in the Agriculture Appropriation Bill, HR 2689, as passed by the House, total 937,754,563 for the fiscal I'ear beginning July 1, 1945. This represents a net increase of $405,468 over current appropriations according to Harris Collingwood, Chief Forester of the National Lumber Manufacturers A,ssociation.

Hearings before the Senate Sub-committee on Agriculture. Appropriations began on April 5th and rvill continue through most of April. The sub-committee consists of : Chairman-Richard B. Russell, Georgia; Carl Hayden, Arizona; Millard E. Tydings, Maryland; Par NfcCarran, l.fevada; John H. Bankhead, 2d, Alabama; Joseph C. O'Mahoney, Wyoming; Dennis Chavez, New Mexico; Burnet R. Maybank, South Carolina; Chan Gurney, South Dakota; C. Wayland Brooks, Illinois; Clyde M. Reed, Kansas; Raymond E. Willis, Indiana; Homer Ferguson, Nlichigan.

The House approved the Budget estimate of $7,300,000 for forest fire co-operation. This represents the full authorization and is $1,034,880 above the current appropriation.

The House approved $1,001,380, including overtime, for work associated with the Forest Products Laboratory. This is $227,52O below the recommendation of the Bureau of the Budget and $145,139 less than the current appropriation. The reduction is supposedly oftset by substantial sums advanced by the Army and Navy for research on

products in which they are interested. The belie{ was expressed by the committee that the same sources can be relied upon for necessary sums during the immediate future.

Representative Harris Ellsworth, Oregon, and others appealed to the House to increase the appropriation by at least $1,500,00O to assure continuation of existing programs, including closer contact with industrial demands. No specific amendment to fulfill this proposal was introduced. Increases will probably be requested before the Senate subcommittee.

Representative Walt Horan, Washington, a member of the sub-committee, addressed Congress in behalf of more generous support of forest research. At the same time, he quoted from the annual reports of many states to show their favorable financial status. On this basis he urged fuller state co-operation

The sum of $5,918,778 for forest development roads and trails exceeds the current appropriation by $1,757,282.

The House approved $2,923,867-an increase of $1,000,000 over the current appropriation for white pine blister rust control. The reduction of $1,326,133 below the Budget estimate was made with full recognition of the importance of the 'ivork, but was explained by the committee on the basis of wartime shortages of workers.

The House figure of $62,100 for spruce budworm investigation is an increase of $1,860 above the Budget estimate.

Your Flag and my Flag, A blessing in the sky; Your hope and my hope, It never hid a lie; Your heart and my heart, Beat quicker at the sight, Sun-kissed and wind-tossed, Red, blue, and white. The one Flag, the great FlagThe Flag for me and you, Glorified all else beside The red, white, and blue.

-Wilbur D. Nesbit.

Breathless the American nation waits each moment as this is written, hoping to hear or read those blessed words"The European war is ended." It has been that way for the past couple of weeks. There is little else in people's minds' * * *

Most folks, viewing the hopeless condition of reeling Germany, feel like the heavy puncher did in the fist fight. He landed two crushing blows that would have knocked an ox flat. And when the other fellow still stood on his feet, the puncher walked around behind him to see what was holding him up.

It's that way with ,htl ;r. Never before in history has an adversary as hopelessly and terrifically beaten as Germany, failed to cry for quarter. Guess that's because we never knew a nation saturated with Naziism before.

The other day was Jefferson's birthday. When his Declaration of Independence was sent to General Washington to be communicated to the army, the troops paraded to hear it read, and there was "tumultous applause" from those in uniform. In his order of the day on this subject, General Washington said: "The general hopes that this important event will serve as an incentive to every officer and soldier to act with fidelity and courage, as knowing that now the peace and safety of his country depend, under God, solely on the success of our arms, and that he is now in the service of a state pospessed of sufficient power to reward his merit, and advance him to the highest honors of afreecountry."

So the fighting men under Washington were infused with that same high tide of American patriotism that has filled the breasts of our fighting men from that day to

this; such enthusiasm as Milton wrote about when he said:

No thought of flight

None of retreat, no unbecoming deed

That argued fear; each on himself relied As only in his arm the moment lay of victorY'

That's a wonderful description of the mental attitude of the patriotic soldier. He acts as though the whole fate of the battle depended on his own actions, his own courage, his own fighting success. ,<

A lumber friend of mine has a letter from one of his ex-employes who has been in the thick of the fight all the way across Belgium, France, and Germany. That boy's letter tells things too horrible to print, regardless of the outrage stories you may have seen.

*d(*

fle says, in effect: "Don't let anyone tell you that the German atrocity stories are exaggerated. Let me tell you what f saw with my own eyes in Belgium when the Germans retreated, and we moved in." And then he factually relates what he saw in the shape of bodies of BeIgian women and children. It would make you ill to read them. And that is what that soldier saw.

And how are we goirrglo lu"l.r"..r, punish the beasts? That's the hell of being a civilized nation. If we were noi so overly civilized we might do a pretty fair job of making the ghouls suffer at least partially in proportion to what they've got coming. All we can do is catch them and kill them. And catching the right ones is some problem, too. If we were not quite so civilized that little matter would be taken care of, too. We wouldn't be too particular about which were the right ones.

We could follow at. *if"*On, " the old gag about divorce. The man said to the divorce specialist-"I don't know whether or not I have grounds for divorce." The quack said-"You're married, aren't you?" The man said, "Yes." And the quack said-"What more grounds do you want?" If we wanted to really do business with these cursed Huns, the only question to ask when we caught one even remotely connected with any atrocity should be"Is he German?" Then "bang! bang!" ***

One of the kindliest men I know of seriously and sincerely advocates the unsexing of every German, thus let-

ting the race die a natural death; that is "natural" with a bit of help from the surgeon. We won't do anything of the kind, of course, because we are civilized. But there's a swell idea there.

And then, of course, there are the nice, sweet Japs to consider. I quoted Kipling last issue as saying that there are just two kinds of people in the world, Germans and human beings. He didn't mention Japs, and the reason probably was that he didn't classify the Japs as humans. If he had lived to this day, I am certain he would have doubted their right to any such classification. Too bad all Japs can't be herded into a nice, air-tight chamber, and the gas turned on. So long as we are killing them by the hundred and thousand every day now, it couldn't be much worse to just finish them all at once. A little impractical, like the German idea stated above, but interesting, nevertheless'

The war news tells of the reconquering of historic Mandalay, in Butrma, by the Allies. What thoughts that brought back. Kipling made Mandalay a name that will go echoing along through the,deep corridors of time as long as literature shall last and the English tongue be spoken. And music came along to double its popularity, and add its fame by making Rudyard's poem one of the stirring and lusty songs of the past generation. England's part in the present World War illustrated perfectly the countless words of patriotic fervor that Kipling wrote about his beloved home land.

Rudyard Kipling died in 1936. But can anycte who watches war-torn England doubt that he still plays-he will always play-a trenchant part in the drama of Britain's life? flis songs, his flaming words of patriotism, go marching on, inspiring Englishmen in every walk of life, to live that England may live, and die that England may not die. If it be true that "there will always be an England," then the spirit, the inspiration of Rudyard Kipling must have large credit for that immortality. In all the su,fferings that England has undergone during the last five years, the undying words of Kipling have never ceased to be a heartstrengthening influence. For surely God touched Kipling with the ineffaceable brush of genius, and made him immortal even before he died: and makes his shadow loom larger with the passing ot*an.*t*t. What an influence !

As long as Britain lives; as long as the English tongue is spoken, the writings of Kipling will remain deeplyindelibly-imprinted in the minds of all men, and particularly loyal Brtishers. A thousand years hence when the passing of Kipling's own soul has long been forgotten, men will sit with lumps in their throats as they listen to that lusty song of the passing of Danny Deever, who was hangin' in the mornin'. Will Mulvaney ever die? He who had been a corporal once, but was "rejuced"? Will the Colonel's Lady and Judy O'Grady ever cease to be of a great sisterhood? Will the time ever come, think you, when the pathetic devotion to duty of that "Lazaroosham leather Gunga Din" will cease'to be solace to the souls

(Continued on Page 10)

(Continued from Page 9) of men?. Will Britain ever cease to spring to attention at those timeless q7e1ds-"ferd God of Hosts be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget"?***

Will the Elton schoolboy's rallying cry-"Play up ! Play up! And play the game," ever be forgotten? WiU the Road to Mandalay ever be less a thoroughfare of romance and sentiment than it is today? Kings will come and kings will go on this earth; but there will be no more Rudyard Kiplings to enthuse and sustain the faltering faith of men. Let us be grateful that his thoughts and words and countless inspirations and the unforgettable men and women who flame across his pages, belong, not to England alone, but to all of us. No one has a monopoly on Kipling. If you have eyes to read, a mind to understand, and a heart to swell big as the thoughts he left behind, then he belongs to you, also. He is OUR heritage, as well as Britain's. His genius is immortal and indestructible. If you seek strength and inspiration to patriotism in these years of horror-try Kipling. You will find his words headquarters for such.

All nations cannot o. .*"ir, l.rorr*; but they should be equally FREE. Whether that can be brought about or

Hoo-Hoo Members Hear Tcrlk on Plcrns For Lumbering In South Pccilic

Members of Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club No. 109 heard an interesting talk on "Plans for Lumbering and Production of Vegetables in The South l,acific" at their regular dinner meeting, held at Wilson's Confectaurant, Sacramento, on Wednesday evening, April 18.

The speaker was Knowles A. Ryerson, Assistant Dean, College of Agriculture, Davis, Calif. Ife u,as introduced by W. Henry Gilbert, program chairman.

Housing

NHA Administrator Blandford reports seven prog.rams for the construction of privately financed housing. The quotas assigned were Blytheville, Ark., 35 units; Healdsburg, Calif., 15 units; Merced, Calif., 60 units; Sacramento, Calif., 400 units; Visalia, Calif., 6O units; Dubois, Pa., 15 units, and White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., 35 units.

not is being discussed at this moment at the great international peace conference at San Francisco. We of this generation must be both wise and brave, in order that those of the next generation may owe to us-not only their liberty-but their reason.

Louis Brornfi.ta, r"-o.rl.*ni, recently said in discussing reports of tremendous desiruction of American foods here at home: "The American farmer cannot produce too much food. The advocates of scarcity are not only foolsthey are enemies of mankind." He had been reading the newspaper reports of the deliberate destruction of hundreds of carloads of potatoes and eggs.

>k :k t<

When we produce all the worth-while things we need, fill all our stomachs, clothe all our nakedness, and house all our people comfortably-then we will have genuine prosperity, regardless of the wage scale. ***

And the little restau** -n.r. cute window advertisements have often been quoted in this column has one now that reads: "Wanted-A man to undress potatoes."

Low Cost Reforestction Possibte in Oregon

Reforestation can be done at a cost of $2.00 per acre as compared with former planting costs of $14.50 per acre, declares Lynn F. Cronemiller, Oregon Assistant State Forester. This is made possible because of means of exterminating white-footed mice, devised by the State Forestrv Department. Tillamook County has deeded 200,000 acres of the Tillamook burn to the State and the Forestry Department plans to exterminate the rnice, seed the ridges and then depend on new trees to reforest the lower slopes and vallevs

Helps Rehabilitate Okinawa Villase

Atenniya Village, in the center of Okinawa, on April 9 became the first Okinawan town to be rehabilitated by America's military government, and about 500 civilians registered with Capt' Donald Spaulding of Burbank, Calif', according to a press dispatch.

Capt. Spaulding said: "First we'Il see if the town had a mayor and if not I'11 appoint one. We'll try to keep all the original village officers at their old jobs."

The news dispatch stated that after the villagers have 'been reestablished in their own homes, stragglers from outlying farms and burnt out villages nearby will be given shelter. This particular village was untouched by American shelling, and it is .estimated that it can take care of 2000 people.

Capt. Spaulding, before entering the Service, was a member of the office staff of the Blanchard Lumber Company at Burbank.

Plans for Ecsy-to-Build Displcy Rcck

Made Avcdlcrble by AFPI

Plans for a display rack designed to accommodate the forest informational literature which it makes available to any organi zation engaged in the manufacture or sale of forest products, are being sent this week to mills and retail establishments all over the country by the public information service of American Forest Products Industries, Inc.

The rack is designed as a convenient means of display for information literature on a reception room table, the wall of a mill near an exit or time clock, or on the counter of a retail establishment. One sample was produced and is now in use at the headquarters of American Forest Products Industries in Washington.

The display is planned to accommodate the following publications: America's Forests, Trees for Tomorrow, New Magic In Wood, Paul Bunyan's Quiz, Progress In American Forest Management, A Big Job for America, Our Forest Future, and Your Friend John Citizen.

Will Move to San Frcrncisco

Ernest T. Dolge, retired Tacoma lumberman, and Mrs. Dolge, plan to move to San Francisco soon. Mr. Dolge was prominently identified with the lumber industry in the Northwest for many years, and operated a sawmill at Tacoma. He retired in 1943.

Housing

Housing Administrator Blandford says that there should be no international barrier to the free exchange of information touching on all phases of housing.

The NHA anounces housing quotas for seven localities under the H-2 program which allows construction under predetermined sales and rental ceilings of $8,000 for sales and $65 a month for rentals. The quotas are BethpageFarmingdale, N. Y., 1,40O units; Brooklyn-Long 'Island City, N.

A new Navy chaplain, serving his first day on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. sat down for mess with the enlisted men for the first time. "I bowed my head to say a few words of grace," he reported afterwards, "and when I looked up, all the plates except mine were empty."

And Merle Tyner sends in this story from Missouri: Getting back to the states from Honolulu in the early days of the war was very difEcult. One American working there was wild to get back and pulled every possible string and worked every angle for months. But it looked like his turn would never come.

Finally things began to loosen up, and one friend of his after another would get to go home. With little else to do, his cro,wd got to making quite a ceremony of bidding them farewell; a trip to the boat, then down the gangplank wav-

ing goodbye; and next week another fellow going home, and another similar party. Bill was right in the center of it week after week, but his own turn was long d,elayed until his friends iot to wishing it would be Bill next, instead of one of them.

But he kept seeing the others off and joining in the farewell parties; and finally his call came. He could hardly believe it until his gang got the word and began preparing to throw the biggest party of all for the fellow who had waited so long. As he went aboard they were with him to the last man, and they threw quite a party on the ship before she sailed; so large a party that when the whistle finaily blew they marched down the gangplank in their accustomed style and out onto the dock, and yeah, you've guessed itright in the midst of the crowd, shouting goodbye louder than any of them, waving farewell harder than any of them, stood Bill, while the ship sailed away without him.

Ceiling Prices for Western Red Cedar Pilins

Washington, D. C., April 14.Specific dollar-and-cent maximum prices for Western red cedar piling, on a lineal foot basis. have been established, the Office of Price Administration announced today.

The new ceiling prices become effective April 19, 1945.

Previously ceilings for Western red cedar piiing were those provided for the most comparable western red cedar pole meeting American Standard Association specifications. This method of pricing, however, was difficult for some sellers, OPA said, because a large portion of piling sold was heavy piling for which no exact equivalent existed in the specifications for A.S.A. poles.

Today's action provides uniform ceilings for piling of all principal specifications and eliminates the necessity of applying to OPA for approval of ceilings for this product when sizes cannot be matched. (Amendment 1 to NIPR

N.L.M.A. Attorneys Admitted To U. S. Supreme Court

Henry Bahr, counsel and acting secretary of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and Milton A' Smith, assistant counsel, were admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States April 5th. Their sponsor was Rolland L. Nutt, Washington tax attorney.

The N.L.M.A. attorneys are members of the bar of the Distiict of Columbia and the United States Customs Court of Ne'iv York. Mr. Smith is also admitted to practice before the U. S. Court of Claims, Court of Customs and lratent Appeals, and the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Mr. Bahr is a graduate of Columbus University Law School and studied at Georgetown lJniversity prior to taking up the study of law.

$hnll lTo Bulld [urope 0r The U. $. A. ? By

The building situation in these United States of America is little short of appalling.

'For many years there have been practically no new homes-that might truly be called homes-built in this country. Authorities disagree as to just horv many home units are needed-badly-but the total runs into the many millions.

Count the number of farms in the United States todav and you have the total number of farms that are badly in need of building, repairing, improving. We talk about the boys coming back from "over there" to go back to the farms to work, and the fact is that most of them are coming back to farms that are desperately in need of building; the kind of building and repairing that can only be done with LUMBER.

There are perhaps twenty million homes in this country today that are in bad repair, crying for some *o.f to b" done on them to put them in even decent order. How many other buildings besides homes are in that same fix, is anybody's g'uess, but it runs into the multi-millions.

Under the G.I. Bill of Rights a soldier can borrolv all the money to build a home. Already we have many, many thousands of returned veterans who want new homes and are easily able to get the money and the land, but are held up because they can't get the lumber. Under the law a returned soldier can get an AA-3 priority to build that G.L financed,house. But also under other laws, rules, regulations, and restri.ctions, the lumber dealer who sells him his needed lumber under such a priority cannot legally replace that lumber in his stocks. So thousands of veterans are already being denied homes because they can't get lumber, and every day the list grorvs. The home building provision of the G.L Bill of Rights is a splendid one; one that will sprinkle this land from North to South and from East to West with the satisfactory homes of our returned fighting men. But thel' tvon't get them until they can get the lumber.

To sum it all up, there is the greatest building need, the greatest lumber demand, that this nation ever dreamed of, prevalent right now. For year after year tve have gone

Jao[ llionne

without building, almost without repairing, until the res_ ervoir of building needs had grown high as the Rocky Mountains. The builders of this country have been splerr_ didly behaved in the matter. They have been told and have clung to the belief right along that as soon as the war effort had all the lumber it needed, the folks at home would get the balance.

Imagine their surprise and actual shock when they learned in the last few weeks that instead of turning any needed lumber over to the farmer and other hungry builders here at home, this nation is shipping great amounts of lumber to Europe, mostly on Lend-Lease. The retail lum_ ber industry could hardly believe its ears when they heard. the report, or its eyes when they read it. Can you blame theml

According to the first reports released and pu,blished a couple of weeks ago in this Journal, something like 400 million feet of lumber has already been assigned to Europe. Lend-Lease asked for 20O million and immediately got 2g million of it from the West Coast, with the balance yet to come. To England goes another 164 million feet of lumber to build 30 thousand homes. To Europe goes another big batch, the total being abbut 400 million feet right now. England says she needs 750 thousand home units, of which rve have already furnished 30 thousand. How much more do we propose to send ? And where do the American farmers and the American home builders appear in this pic_ ture ? If that is the course we are to pursue, when will we ever get around to our own nation and their building needs ?

Everyone knows that we have many millions of people in this country, particularly in the many heavily industrial_ ized sections, packed like sardines into living quarters that are to say the least, horribly inadequate. Mobs of people live in squalor under rocifs that barely cover their heads. We've got a housing shortage in this country that is close to appalling and gets steadily worse.

Everyone sympathizes with England and with Europe in their war made extremities. But sooner or later we are go_ ing to have to decide to "build America first"; or we will go into a housing situation that will become a national cal-

irnity. We dctual war have it.

need all the lumber here at home that the effort is not in direct need of. And we should

Surelv, before any more commitments are made for sending abroad our much needed lumber, the matter should come out in the open and be thoroughly aired, not just decided upon in some Washington office.

There is more commercial timber standing in Russia than in all North America. There are great tirnber stands in the Scandinavian countries. Germany and France still have timber. And Canada is pretty well supplied, too. At a lumber meeting recently in which these matters were discussed, a man bitterly remarked: "But Canada wants cash for her lumber." I don't know whether or not the implication is entirely based on fact; but I do know that Canada, which is part of the British Empire, could easily rebuild England without any help from us, if she went to turling her forests into lumber the way we have been doing here in the United States for the past three years. And why

fact stan<is out in this building situation today; the United States needs, deserves, and must have all the lumber we can produce over and above that rvhich the war actually consumes, and for a long, long time to come. We have gutted our forests in a manner sad to contemplate, just to keep the armed forces and the armed efiort supplied; and we have done a magnificent job.

A wise old lumberman remarked the other day: "We are sending food abroad, and now we are sending our lutnber

abroad. But unless we can furnish our farmers with building material, there is bound to be a lot less food produced to send abroad; looks like it would bg smart to supply our farmers with lumber so that they can raise the food rve need to send to our foreign friends; lve can't send them both successfully."

And there is wisdom in that remark.

New Cclilornia Mills

Plans for construction of a sawmill, box factory, and planing mill at Alturas, Calif., at a cost o{ $500,00O.00, by the Goose Lake Box Company, Lakeview, Ore., have been announced. The sawmill is expected to be ready for operation in July.

A project now under way at Corning, Calif' will include a sawmill with a 200,000 ft. daily capacity, a planing mill, plywood factory, box factory, and a by-products plant. The project is being carried on by the Yolla Bolly Lumber Co., a partnership, consisting of H. C. Crowfoot, Magalia, Calif.; J. W. Wilson, H. W. Dempsey, and H. D. Benner of San Diego. Timber will be obtained from a 32,000-acre tract rvest of Corning.

One day while I was driving through this tree with a trailer f met a big moving van coming through from the other end. I couldn't back up or go ahead, so I just edged the trailer into a hollow branch and let the other fellow go past."-Pathfinder.

How ilIanv ilIillion Johs?

The *,ords "sixty million jobs" have been bandied about in this country for the past year in every possible fashion, reprinted untolcl millions o{ times, and given complete national circulation by the rvell known conversation route.

There is an old saying that if you repeat a story often enough you rvill get to believing it yourself. It is certain that if you read and hear a statement frequently enough, you sort of instinctively take it for granted.

So it is with this idea that we are going to have to produce sixty million jobs when the war ends in order to provide jobs and security for our people. The idea carne in the first place from people who knerv very little about jobs; and has been accepted by many people who DO simply because they have not taken the time to thoughtfully consider the matter.

The other day a friend of mine who has the habit of thinking very highly developed, and 'r,vho is inclined to think in practical and logical terms (a habit not too prevalent in this age in rvhich u'e live), handed me some figures he had arrived at by considerable digging and investigation. You rvill find these figures to be close enough for foundation purposes, and impressive enough to shorv you the folll' of the "sixty million job" thing.

We have in this country a great number of what are termed "socially unemployable" people, the young, the old, the infirm. etc.. and he lists them in this fashion:

An $ilitorial

that number from our present population and we find that we have about 75,000,000 employable persons left'to find jobs for including both sexes. If there are really 60,000,000 jobs needed, then that would leave just 15,000,000 people remaining, supposedly women, to operate our homes.

Now, how many homes have we in this country ? The best estimate available is 40,000,000. So if u'e supply 60,000,000 jobs, we will have about 25,000,000 homes left with no women to run them. Let uS assume, however, that there is a woman in every one of these 40,000,000 homes, which is a modest assumption in normal times in this country. Then we would have just 35,000,000 jobs to be found and filled. If, as is mu,ch more probable, one third of those 40,000,000 homes have at least two women in them, keeping them, working in them, etc., as has always been normal in this land of homes, then we have more than 53,00O,000 home workers to subtract from the total 75,000,000 employable people, which leaves less than 22,00O,W jobs. to be supplied and filled.

Gentle reader, with the abgve facts and figures before you to fool with, you can sit down and in your idle moments figure out a lot of interesting things about this job situation.

The total of these is 58,405,000 people rve do not have to find jobs for.

These figures are basecl on the 194O census 'ivhich shou'ecl our popnlation to be 131,000,000, but is now estimated to be al>out 136,m0,000. Add the increased number of unemployables for the added 5,000,000 people, and we conclude that there are now 60,500,000 in this country. Subtract

And don't forget; the United States has always been the greatest home-owning, home-loving, home-living nation on this earth. The home with the woman to run it, to keep it, to care for it, (and for the kids that must be cared for as they have always been and must always ,be if this country is to continue), must continue to be its corner-stone, its citadel, the rock of ages on which it must be firmly built. We must assume that in the future as in the past our homes will be run by women who do not nrant and cannot use outside jobs; and we must therefore subtract the total of these women from the total list of employables. And rvhen we do that, we do not have sixty million jobs to create, as Henry Wallace and all the Henry Wallaces so wisely put it. We have less than half that number. And if the time-honored yules that made this country great are allowed to function, those jobs will be easily found. In fact, we should reasonably expect to have a job surplus very shortly after war to peace conversion has been accomplished, with no unemployed but the unemployables.

Tell of Lumber Uses lor Military Requirements in Pacific

Otis Johnson, president, IJnion Lumber Company, San Fran,cisco, received a letter from PFC. Ernest H. Holberg, who was with the company before entering the Service, saying it may be of interest to you to know that we set up this rest camp after the Saipan Compaign, using about 5,000,000 feet of lumber in its construction, and even with that amount of lumber we have very few luxuries outside of wooden floors for the tents. This was for only one division rvhich will give you a fairly good idea of the amount of lumber used for military purposes here in the Pacific.

Mr. Johnson also received a letter from T. M. 2/c Dwight L. House, a former employee, rvritten from the Marshall Islands in which he stated he saw a rvater tank going up and as it rvas being built of Redwood he looked the lumber over, and found thaLt it rvas stamped "IJnion Lumber Company." Since then, he said, he found several tanks being built with lumber from tl.re Union plant.

Union Lumber Company has about 350 former employees in the Service. Mr. Johnson has corresponded r.vith all of them continually from time to time, and at Christmas he ah'r'ays sends them boxes of ,chocolates, cigarettes, etc.

More Tree Farms Added to System

Washington, D. C., April 18.-The American tree farm system is gaining 23 new operations, sponsored by the W'estern Pine Association, comprising 420,265 acres in California, Idaho and Montana, it has been announced by Stuart Moir, association chief forester.

Total area in the Western Pine tree farm system will be I,979,905 acres. Official recognition will be given this progress in industrial forest manag'ement in June, when Governor \Marren of California will dedicate 16 such operations near Placerville, California, known collectively as the Eldorado tree farms.

Nationally, the tree farm program continues to make steady gains. On April 1,777 certifi,ed tree farms contained 9,446,300 acres, compared with 722 such areas, with 9,302,330 acres, on January 1. The Mississippi tree farm system recently added 18 operations, with more than 33,000 acres, and, in Texas, 11 more tree farms, r,vith nearly 28,000 acres, were added. The Southern Pine Association, which sponsored these operations, now has 689 tree farms under its jurisdiction, with 5,853, 770 acres.

San Los

Paying tribute to the tree farm activities of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, another sponsoring group, the Ner,r. York Times recently declared that "tree farming in the Northrvest has proved economically sound. Millions of acres in other areas of the nation are Drimarilv suited to growing trees."

Continued Expansion of Home Building Program

Washington, D. C., April l4.-Continued expansion of a home building program designed to relieve general congestion in war production centers u'as reported today by Administrator John B. Blandford, Jr., of the National Housing Agency.

Nearly 25,000 units have been authorizedby NHA under this program, known as H-2 housing, in 111 communities where sufficient building labor was found to be available to carry out the construction without interfering rn ith direct war emolovment.

Several cleared in added, "I valuable dustry."

additional quotas for important areas will be the next few- days, Mr. Blandford declared, and am hopeful that the H-2 program will prove a bridge toward reconversion of the housing in-

Within the limitations imposed by rvar conditions, the NHA is also doing all in its power to make it possible for returning war veterans who are unable to find suitable accommodations for themselves and their families to build their own homes, Mr. Blandford said. IJp to now more than 2,70O priorities for the construction of dwellings have been issued to former servicemen.

In addition, more than 13,000 other priorities have been granted to relieve cases of individual hardships.

Mr. Blandford made it clear, however, that supplying the necessary housing for migrating war workers remains the primary job of the NHA and reportecl the Agency is moving promptly to meet new needs which have been created by a current spurt in some critical war activities.

"These new needs, while small in relation to the total war housing now in use, are nonetheless vital to support stepped-up production schedules in areas where sufficieni housing is not available to take care of additional labor which must be recruited from the outside." Mr. Blandford explained.

This housing will serve new workers in such activities a's the Army's increased ammunition and ordnance prog'rams, the repair of battle damage to Naval vessels, the Naval shipbuilding program, the sharply expanding Naval supply operations on the West Coast, and the production of super-bombers for the r,var in the Pacific.

As of March 1, more than 53,000 units of war housing, both privately and publicly financed, were under construction. Another 60,000 had been authorized and were ready to be placed under construction of which 41,000 rn'ill be privately financed and 19,000 built with public funds. It is estimated that several thousand more temporary publicly financed units not yet authorized wil.l be required.

At the end of February, a total ol 1,791,872 war housing units or 94 percent of the assigned program had been completed. In addition, some 2,000,000 other accommodation.s had been provided through more intensive use of the existing housing supply.

First Alcohol-From-Wood Plant Nears Completion

Construction of one of the rvorld's largest, and America's first, commercial plant for the production of ethyl alcohol from sawdust and waste wood by the Scholler-Tornes,ch method, has reached a point where it is confidently expected that it rvill be in operation by July 1st.

The $2,250,000 project occupies a l4-acre site at Springfield, Oregon. It is the propertv of the Willamette Valley Wood Chemical Company of Eugene, Oregon, which was formed by local lumbermen, themselves producers of large quantities of sawdust, the essential raw material. Financing was arranged through the Defense Plant Corporation.

An initial, daily consumption of 2OO tons of sawdust r,vith a corresponding output of 10,00O to 12,500 gallons of ethyl alcohol is planned, according to Charles Snellstrorn, president of the company. The plant is designed to increase that output greatly and ample supplies of raw material are available to permit rapid expansion.

Smith, Hinchman & Grylls of Detroit, the construction engineers who designed the plant, report that the railroad facilities are all in, most of the piling has been driven, foutrdations laid, main buildings erected, and underground pipe work installed. A 6,800-foot sewerrvill carry away inclustrial waste. Construction is being supervised.by Clark Van Fleet, project engineer of the Willamette Company.

Shop details on the specialized percolation, fermenting, and distilting equipment have been completed by the Vulcan Copper & Supply Company of Cincinnati, but somc delays caused by shortages of critical materials have lteen experienced.

The laboratory of the Oregon State College at Corvallis, under Dean Paul M. Duun, is co-operating in a study of the qualities, deterioration under storage, and availability of ivood waste. The relative qualities o{ pianer shavings, hog fuel, sawdust, chipped slabs as potential raw material are being investigated.

Production on a commercial scale of ethyl alcohol, lignin, and other derivatives through the acid hydrolization of wood is ne'n' to the United States, but it is a well-established industry in Germany and one on which much of the German war economy has been founded. The German pro' cesses and patents are also being used by Italy and Japan.

Industrial alcohol in the United States has been derived in the past largell' from blackstrap molasses brought irere

Bill Proposes Time Limit On Wage-Hour Suits

"Lumbermen, particularly those confronted with Wageand-Hour Law' suits, will be especially interested in a bill (H.R. 278€) introduced by Rep. John H. Gwynne, fowa, which would establish time limitations on the bringing of public and private actions under federal laws," says Henry Bahr, acting secretary and counsel of the National Lumber Manuf acturers Association.

"Under this bill," he explains, "private suits would be barred one year from the accrual of the cause of action, except where a shorter time is fixed under a state statute; for public actions the time limit d'ould be two years.

"Because of the present threat of travel time litigation and retroactive application of other obscure interpretations of the Wage-and-Hour Law, this bill is of considerable significance to the logging and lumbering industry. Its enactment rvould result in substantially lessening the period for which retroactive pay could be required in the event an operator is held liable for travel time payments. Since double recovery pius attorneys'fees are allowed a successful Wagelfour La'iv plaintif{, this would mean a very substantiai saving."

Bahr also called attention to the fact that the bill would validate state statutes prescribing a period of limitations shorter than the one year period which it proposes. Such statutes as applied to suits brought under federal law, he pointed out, are generally considered to be of doubtful validity. '

The bill is now pending before the House Judiciary Committee.

At the same time the lurnber inclustry'ivas producing vast quantities of potential raw material for alcohol-sar'vdust-which has little or no commercial value in itself.

The Willamette project is the realization by the lumber inclustry of another of the vast potentialities of the American forests.

White Pine Blister Bust Sprecds in Cclifornia

White pine blister rust advanced 65 miles south into sugar pine forests of California in 1944. The rust infection zone now extends almost halfway across the commercial sugar pine belt, according to the Federal Bureau of Entomology and Plant Industry. Blister rust was first reported in northern California in 1936. Meanwhile, it has spread southward as far as Amador County. The war has delayed eradicating gooseberry and currant bushes, permitting completion of only 37/o of the 2,531,320 acres of sugar pine growth needing protection.

California Building Permits for March

Direction 7 and Direction 2a To Order L-335 Amended

Washington, D. C., April l7-Low grade lumber of certain species, and culls and rejects, rvhich may be bought on uncertified and unrated orders, must now be charged against total amounts of lumber that consumers are authorized to receive, the War Production Board announced today.

Direction 7 to the lumber control order, L-335, formerly permitted lumber consumers to receive such lumber in addition to the amount specifically authorized by WPB. This permission is withdrawn by Direction 7 as amended today. The increasingly tight lumber supply situation has necessitated the additional curtailment in consumption of lumber effected by the amended direction, WPB said.

Species and grades covered by the direction are No. 4 or lower grades of Douglas fir, southern yellow pine, western hemlock and Sitka spruce ; E grades of Douglas fir and western hemlock; redwood durrnage ; No. 3 or lorver grades cypress. This lumber may still be delivered by sawmills and received by distributors and delivered to consumers on c'ertified and unrated orders if the sale does not interfere with the filling of certified orders. Culls and rejects of any species are also covered by Direction 7 and may still be sold on uncertified and unrated orders provided that the cost is not more than 85 per cent of the price established by the Office of Price Administration for the lorvest standard grade of the same species.

Direction 2a to L-335, also amended today, makes clear that western pine lumber in inventory as well as that received after March 26 is subject to restrictions on its use for millwork. As amended on March 26, Direction Za prohibited the use of western pine for any millwork except the following: rvindows; sash ; doors; window, sash and door frames; lvindorv and door screens; trim and molding and cut stock for such items.

Oregon Timber Growth

"The annual timber growth in Oregon at the present time is probably less than two billion board feet, because such a large area is now covered with overripe timber where depletion from insects, disease and rvindthrow fai exceeds the grorvth," says Nelson B. Rogers, Oregon State Forester, in a recent statement. "When this area has been logged," he says, "the annual growth for the State should equal at least sevdn billion board feet; consequently it would be safe to say that five and one-half billion feet can be cut perpetually. During the past year 7,180,000,000 feet were logged."
