How lrumber Lrooks

Portland, Ore., April l7-March lumber production in the Douglas fir region continued at a high level, breaking all records during the past twenty-four months, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coas{ Lumbermen's Association.

Weekly output averaged 137,976,000 board feet during March. This record production from West Coast sawmills exceeds February output of 132,183,000 board feet, Mr. Simpson said, and climaxes a steady increase each month since the relaxation of government controls last year.

"We are keeping the pledge we made in December," Mr. Simpson said, "to do our full share to supply large quantities of lumber for the nation's housing program.

$outhorn California lumher Dealers Hold Convention in Los Angoles

"Novor Before"

"Tl::ft'.f;,'ffI"ff;"o

It lvas truly a "l1ever before" convention that the Southern California Retail Lumber Association held in the Biltmore Hotel in I-os Angeles, April 2lst and 22nd. It rvas just that.

For never before did so goodly a crowd of lumbermen and lumber ladies gather together in Southern Cali{ornia; never before was there such a star-studded list of speakers on a Southern California program; never before u'ere there such enthusiastic and successful audiences for the speakers; ne\:er before 'n'ere there luncheon and dinner crolvds as large and enthusiastic as attended those two days; never before were so many interesting subjects so splendidly handled as n-ere crorvded into three half-day business sessions ; never before 'lvas there so great an interest demonstrated by the delegates to the meeting; and never before \\ras so fine a program pulled off .ivithout a hitch, including all business and social arrangements. It was a championship convention from every viewpoint.

The credit in full goes to that genial gentleman, that genius for arrangement and management, Orrie W. Hamilton, of Los Angeles, the great Secretary-Manager of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association. He ran it all rvitliout a moment's hitch, delay, or trouble, includ-

ing the splendid exhibit of products and equipment which filled a great room in the Biltmore close to the convention hall and the banquet hall. Hats off to Mr. Hamilton ! Bill Woodbridge, the shingle association man from Seattle, remarked so that all might hear: "I've been to a thousand, and this is the best retail lumber convention I ever attended." And rvhen he said that he echoed the words of many and the thoughts of more. "Orrie done himself proud," said one boy from the forks of the ,creek. He did, indeed.

Second only to the managerial ability of Orrie Hamilton in making the convention an overwl-relming success, was the chairmanship of President H. Park Arnold, presiding officer throughout the meeting. Mr. Arnold has a gift for graceful chairmanship. Whether in introducing a speaker or delivering a follow-up at the conclusion of an address, Mr. Arnold always said the right and thoughtful thing, his u,ords well chosen and well handled. A fine master-ofceremonies was Mr. Park Arnold.

The meeting opened u'ith a luncheon for lumbermen and ladies in the great banquet hall of the Biltmore. The room was packed r,vith more than six hundred delegates. President Park Arnold called the meeting to order when the eating ended, and presented Orrie Hamilton, with many u'ords of praise for the Secretary-Manager. Mr. Hamilton introduced rvith many rvords of friendly praise the speaker of the meeting, Jack Dionne, Publisher of the California Lumber Merchant, keynoter of the convention as he had been at many previous conventions of Southern California lumbermen.

Mr. Dionne warned his audience in the beginning that

Secrelcry-Mcncaer Orrie W, Hcrmilton (right) presents Awqrd ol Merit to lcck Dionne.

he would probably never reach the subject printed under his name on the'official program. His prophecy was correct, for he neyer did. He confined his entire time to reminiscences of past conventions, personalities, numerous stories; and alleged humorous remarks. His entire speech was a fun talk.

When he finished Orrie Hamilton brought forth a wonderful plaque of solid gold, beautifully framed in walnut, which he presented to Jack Dionne amid much applause. Engraved on this twelve by sixteen-inch gold plaque were these words:

..SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RETAIL LUMBER ASsocrATroN 1947 AWARD PRESENTED TO JACK DIONNE, WRITER, PUBLISHER, TRAVELER, STORYTELLER, AMBASSADOR OF BUSINESS, PHIIJOSOPHER, SCHOLAR, IN RECOGNITION OF OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP, DISTINGUISHED JOURNALISM, HELPFUL SERVICE, AND FRIEND. SHIP TO THE RETAIL LUMBER DEAL'ERS OF THE NATION, APRIL 21, 1947, LUMBERMEN'S AN. NUAL MEETING, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA."

Winners of the ladies' door prizes at the opening session were: Mrs. Ray Van Ide, Mrs. Eva Henney, and Mrs. Wilfred T. Cooper.

Monday Afternoon

President H. Park Arnold called the convention to order at 2:15 p.m. for the afternoon session.

W. W.'Woodbridge, secretary-manager of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, Seattle, was the first speaker. His subject was "Delectable Chaos." The speaker was introduced by Bert M,cKee, San Pedro Lumber Co., Los Angeles. A synopsis of this talk appears elsewhere in this issue.

Charles B. Keys, vice president, The Periseal Co., New York, spoke on "Building Better Business." He was introduced by Gerald V. Curran, Curran Brotheis, Pomona, Calif.

H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Portland, Oregon, in an address entitled "Douglas Fir, Today and Tomorrow," told his audience of retail and wholesale lumbermen many things they wanted to know about present and future supply of West Coast lumber. This talk will be reproduced in full in the next issue. George Lounsberry, Lounsberry and Harris, Los Angeles, introduced Mr.'Simpson.

"LJnemployment, Compensation and Disability fnsur-

ance" was the topic of the next speaker, John W. Davis, senior underwriter of the Occidental Life Insurance Company of California. Ben Vizio, Cucamonga Lumber Yard, Cucamonga, introduced Mr. Davis.

There was a capacity attendance at the banquet and entertainment in the Biltmore Ball Room in the evening.

Iuesday Morning

R. P. A. Johnson of the U. S. Forest Products lraboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, spoke briefly at the breakfast meeting on the research work that is being done at the laboratory.

,H. Park Arnold presided at the morning session which opened at 9:45 with an address by Upton Close.

Mr. Close delivered what Wm. Jeffers later referred to as a "forthright" speech. He is a gifted speaker, thinks clearly and connectedly, and expressed his thoughts unusually well. He is a genuine orator; and there are few such living today. He has plenty of vinegar in his thoughts on present political things and trends, and he excoriated the New Deal first and Truman second in no gentle fashion. He made the point that this nation is in extreme danger from the dark cloud of Communism, and has almost lost hope that we will take up our own defense soon enough to head off a totalitarian scoop that will destroy this government. He left the audience feeling deeply gloomy over the world we live in and the threats that face us.

Tom Fox, John W. Fisher Lumber Co., Santa Monica, introduced Charles A Cryster, combustion engineer, of I{untington Park, Calif., who addressed the convention on the important topic of "Efificient Disposal of Wood'W'aste." He suggested that lumber dealers write to the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, for their booklet on Wood Waste.

Introduced by Mr. Arnold, S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secre' tary-manager of the Western Pine Association, Pilrtland, addressed the ,convention on the subject "Let's Talk About the Future," and gave an optimistic view of present and future production. When the present emergency is over, he said, there will be an ample supply of good lumber. He told about the two and one-half million acres of tree farms in the Western pine area, and estimated that the annual growth may well exceed eight billion feet. He stated that production exceeded six billion feet in 1946, and that so far 1947 figures show an increase. Incidentally (Continued on Page 14)

A guy in jail is guaranteed a job. He is also guaranteed a fixed annual \rage. He is guaranteed food and shelter. ff he's in for life he's guaranteed an old-age pension and securitl. So, with folks who want everything guaranteed in life, they must take the surrender of freedom that goes with it. Probably the only fellow that can \ "guarantee" is the Government; and ' the only way the Government can "guarantee" is to put us all in a virtual chain gang and divide the potatoes we raise. Therefore the question: Do you want everthing guaranteed for you, or would you prefer FREEDOM and the risks that go with it?

(Author Unknown).

Henry Ford died the other day. Much has since been printed about him. I think he was the greatest industrialist the world has ever known. I think he did more for the cause of the man who works with his hands than any other man the world has ever known.

Away back yonde, n.l"tolirrrla *rr", world by announcing for his employes a daily wage higher than even the most ambitious worker had ever dreamed of asking for; and a shorter day than any worker would have believed possible of attainment.

Ffe was the most outstanding specimen of the "rugged individualist" this nation has known. He believed in high wages, short hours, but he likewise believed to exactly the same degree in hard work and generous production. He thought and taught that the wise way to lower prices was to increase pay; and get increased service as a result. ***

Starting from scratch and making his monumental business success through nothing on earth but his own efforts, he left behind something for all men to aim at. Of course, he lived in a time when such things were definitely more possible that they would be today. Whether another such success as that of Ford could be achieved-+ven by another Ford-in such times as we now travel through, is very debatable'

Henry Ford will be quoted for his practical wisdom for all time to come; and justly so. FIe was just an oldfashioned fellow who believed that "he profits most who

serves best." He thought a man should benefit according to his ability, according to his efficiency, according to his work accomplished. Nothing in his life astonished him more than the philosophy of recent years that the weak and the strong, the lazy and the vigorous, the honest and the shiftless, the dependable and the unreliable-shoulil all share alike from the industry they serve. That, to him, was pure heresy.

Last year a Detroit writer who knew Mr. Ford well, wrote a very interesting opinion of him in a book called "Detroit is ,my home town." In order to describe what sort of unusual man Ford ruas, this writer whose name is Malcomb Bingay, says that if Ford and two other men stood on one corner of a city block and agreed to meet at the opposite corner of that same block (through the block, 'understand?) the two other men would go around the block to the point of meeting, but by some process unknown to ordinary nrran Mr. Ford would go straight through on a direct line, and be waiting for the,m. In other words, he did not have to do things the normal ordinary way, but followed a way reserved for the great men of the world. Such men impress others that way.

Martin Dies, ex-chairman of the Congressional Committee to investigate un-American activities, must feel mighty good these days. , For everSrthing Martin Dies tried to tell the government and the nation for a string of years, is now acknowledged and well publicized fact. And they crucified him for it, and practically hounded him out of Congress. His warnings against the infiltration of Communists into every phase of our Government, and into every nook and corner of our national life, brought him villification. Now the whole nation and the official Government itself, loudly proclaims that what Martin Dies told about our left-wingers was true and more than true.

We all know now that the staternents he made were actually understatements. It was much worse than he declared. Yet, from the White House down, he was "denounced and denied. belittled and belied" for the warnings he kept sending out. Now the FBI, the Justice Department, the White lfouse, and all the responsible agencies of the Federal Government are openly fighting these dangerous elements that Martin Dies spent so much time uncovering. Martin Dies should feel highly gratified. He knew what he was talking about. ft was his traducers who did not know; or knowing, acted very peculiarly to say the least.

. . but it's a cinch thot even his good aim couldn't hcrve crligned some dilficutt loads. Thot's why a Gerlinger corrier would have been the cpple oI his eye. Perlect olignment oI load ond mcrchine is NOT NECESSARY with q Gerlinger!

(Continued from Page 8)

President Tru.man got on the line first and ordered every government employee with left-wing opinions or affiliations hunted dor.,rn and fired. A few years back when Dies was exposing them by the bushel, either nothing at all was done about them, or, if they just had to be fired, they promptly showed up in some other corner of the Government, still on the payroll. This time we're going to get rid of them. "Put only Americans on guard," said George Washington. * :r :r

Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, one of our great fighting heroes, is .making speeches denouncing the left-wingers in this country, and his suggestion that they be all sent to Russia with a one-way ticket in their pockets, is meeting with strong acclaim. Ffor,v are we going to expect to successfully fight Communism abroad, if we can't eradicate it here at home?

J. Edgar Hoover, head of FBI, is warning this nation that there is no doubt on earth but that the Communist movement in the United States deliberately aims to destroy this government. f heard another distinguished American say the other day that it is a fact that Com,munism is being taught today in practically every high school and college in this entire country. They start their infiltration of Communist teachings by declaring that the capitalistic system and the free enterprise and private ownership system, has failed, and something better must be found to take its place. How long are we going to allow this rapidly growing cancer to €at into our vitals?

rf a country i" to ,.rnli" Jr."i, it must be toved by its citizens. A decaying country is one, as Joel A. Spingarn said, whose citizens have only a tepid love for it. Lack of love of country is lack of love of everything else. According to Spingarn, "love of country symbolizes love of family and home, love of the daily task, religion, politics, the whole universality of which the individual is a part."

I never thought much of i"rr"-"" how to make friends and influence people, but Harry Emerson Fosdick hits the bullseye in that direction when he says: "The love of persons is another highway to real knowledge. About the most certain kind of knowledge we possess is knowledge of people. We do not get this vital knowledge by merely

scientific processes. We learn truth in .this real.m mainly by insight, intuition, sy/npathy, appreciation, friendship, and love."

A man died the other day whom I have known for many years. His friends took up a collection to bury him. And when I heard of it I distinctly remembered the times in years gone by when he was the hardest man of my acquaintance to reach in his own omce. The guardian of his gate used to make the caller filI out an entire personal questionnaire before he could get to the inner office. I don't suppose the unnecessary "dog" he put on during his palmy days had anything to do with his rapid business decline-or did it?

* ,< *

Whenever I call on a man and have a lot of red tape to go through in order to get to see hi.m, I arn reminded of something that was said about one of the truly great business men I have known. A visitor, on leaving his office, said: "When you enter his office you find yourself in the presence of one who is no slave to time. His attitude is that of a man of leisure. He is a receptive listener. He sends men out carrying with them a feeling of elation." ***

When some amateur comes to see you with an idea he wants to talk about, don't let his possible inexperience condemn his right to approach the subject. Remember these facts: a school teacher with no experience in cotton created the cotton gin; an army officer was the father of photography i the electric motor was developed by a bookbinder; the typewriter was developed by a farmer; the pneumatic tire was created by a doctor; the typesetting machine was the idea of a grocer; and nu,merous other great blessings that have come to industry and to the vrorld in general were from the minds and hands of amateurs along those particular lines.

Enlcrrges Displcry Boom

John W. Fisher Lumber Company, Santa Monica, has enlarged the display room by taking out the private office. This rvas done to make room for a display of Pabco paints which they are now carrying. A new private office has been put in at the back of the display room. This has been finished in Weldtex paneling, and black walnut plywood wainscoting.

The Price Just Fitted

Bill Woodbridge, of Seattle, the Red Cedar Shingle Association man, .tells the following story which he thinks is appropos of the present shingle price situation:

The old Colonel from Kentucky had gone to Kansas on business, and, being detained much longer than he expected, he ran out of Bourbon whisky, which was the staff of life as far as he was concerned. So he talked it over with a bell boy in the hotel where he was staying, and was told that Bourbon whiskey was not only very scarce, but

very expensive. The Colonel told him to get a quart and never mind about the expense. So the boy showed up with a quart of good Bourbon, and apologetically explained that it had cost him fifty dollars.

The Colonel stripped six ten dollar bills off his roll, handed them to the boy, and remarked: "Here you are, son, fifty for the lickah, and ten for you'se'f. It's a pleasure to do this because it's the first time in my life I ever got a chance to pay as much for Bourbon as it's really worth."

Southern California Lumber Dealers' Annual Meeting

(Continued from Page 7)

he remarked that the distribution of the Western pine product through the lumber dealers is about 60 per cent of the cut. Of this 50 per cent is sold retail, and 10 per cent to millwork plants. More than 2O per cent of the total production in the entire Western pine region is consumed in California.

Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association, San Francisco, delivered a fine address on "Our Biggest Selling Job," excerpts of which appear on another page. He was introduced by Leslie Lynch, sales manag'er, Patten-Blinn Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

Hoo-Hoo Luncheon

The Biltmore Ballroom was filled at the Hoo-Hoo luncheon. Bob Osgood, president of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club, presided. Dee Essley introduced Cliff Roberts, San Diego, member of the Supreme Nine; Lerv Godard, San Francisco, member of the 1946 Supreme Nine, and C. D. LeMaster, Sacramento, Seer of the lfouse of Ancients. George Clough, program chairman, introduced the luncheon speaker, Dr. Frederic P. Woellner, who chose as his topic, "The American ldea."

Dr. Woellner, noted writer, teacher, and lecturer at the lJniversity of Southern California, wowed the great Iuncheon audience with a clever oratorical effort that ranged from high philosophy to timely humor, from classical quotations to political discussions of the moment. lle is a splendid speaker with an unusual gift of oratory, and he gave the crowd much to think about and much to laugh at. One of the highlights of his talk was a fine discussion of the atomic energy situation, in which he poked fun at our national attitude of deep concern over atomic danger. He said that one of the great authorities on

atomic energy working at USC had told him recently that in two years time we would be healing cancerwith atomic energy, and if that proves true then all the dangers surrounding the atom bomb are as nothing compared to the great blessing that harnessing that energy in the right direction might mean.

Tuesday Afternoon

"Looking Ahead to Home Building in 1947," was the title of the informative address given by Edward G. Gavi'r, editor of the American Builder, Chicago. The speaker closed with the prediction that in spite of all the material shortages, labor difficulties and government restrictions, there will be a total of 910,000 new homes constructed this year, and in addition 285,000 apartment units.

A. E. Fickling, Fickling Lumber Co., Long Beach, Calif., introduced Charles E. Devlin, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma. IWr. Devlin's speech was entitled "An Analysis of Plywood Demand." This will appear in the next issue.

"Opportunity vs. Security" was discussed by William Martin Jeffers, vice chairman of the Board of Directors, Union Pacific Railroad. The speaker was introduced by E. C. Parker, president of the Patten-Blinn Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

Mr. Jeffers made a splendid impression on the large audience that heard him Tuesday afternoon. He speaks well, has a good talking voice, and he pulls no punches rvhatever. When he referred to our American left-wingers and outstanding examples as "Henry Wallace, and the Roosevelts that remain at large," his audience horvled with approval. The crux of his speech is to see that our American way of life continues, that we stomp out the teaching of foreign ismd in our schools and colleges, and that we defend and retain the right of every American boy of

Alphonso Hits The Mark

The late King Alfonso of Spain'found it expedient to receive certain of his ministers in private from time to time and sound them out on questions of policy. The sovereign became troubled however when rumors reached him that his conversations with one of his ministers were being published abroad. There was only one person who was aware of these closely-closeted meetings-and his discretion and loyalty were beyond question. His Majesty made certain inquiries, and at the next formal talk with the minister under suspicion came straight to the point.

"Of course you never breathe a word of our conversation to a soul," said Alfonso.

"Not a word," the minister assured him.

"It is absolutely between you and me?"

"Absolutely."

"Not even to your v/ifg-"

"She is completely in ignorance of what passes between lls.t'

"Good, good !" said the King. "But in that case, let me offer you a suggestion: Be more careful in your choice of a sweetheart."

There was no further leak.

Love's melody throbs deep in me, But where have the words gone straying?

Like a thousand guitars, But soft as a child's night-praying.

Cows and Government

What do cows have to do with governrnent? Just this.

A peasant had six cows and the Government took all of them from him. That's COMMUNISM.

A peasant had six cows and the Government took three of them. That's SOCIALISM.

A peasant had six cows and the Government let him keep all six of them and let him feed and otherwise care for them, but took all of the milk and all of the calves. Thats FASCISM.

A peasant had six cows and the Government let him keep all six of them, but made him pay the personal property tax, sales tax, poll f4x, ad valorem tex, excess profits tax, old age pension tax, social security tax, Federal tax, State tax, County tax, excise tax, city tax, school tax, luxury tax, outgo tax, war tax, peace tax, auto license tax, gasoline tax, inheritance tax, carpet tax, dog tax, syntax and various other taxes until the peasant wondered whether or not he would be better off without the cows. That's DEMOCRACY.

Optioncl

A fraternity house had sent its curtains to be laundered. It was the second day that the house had stood unveiled and that morning the following note was received from the sorority house across the street:

"Dear Sirs: May we suggest that you procure curtains for your windows? We do not care for a course in anatomy."

The chap who left his shaving to read the note promptly answered:

"Dear Girls: The course is optional."

JAMES L. HALL

Our Bissest Sellins Job

Excerpts from o talk by Kenneth Smith, president, California Redwood Association, at the annual meeting of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association at Los Angeles, Apnl 29.

The biggest, most difficult and most vital selling job in America today is reselling Americans on the American way of life.

We must do the job our schools and the present crop of parents have failed to do-teach all who are under 35 what kind of an economic svstem it is thev were born into and what makes it tick.

We must find a way to teach all men the difference between a necessity economy and a luxury economy, and make sure they understand that we have long since passed the stage of a successful necessity economy and that u'e could burn down thouands of factories and close up thousands of stores and service establishments yet nobody would starve, nobody would go naked, and nobody would lack adequate shelter.

We must bring all men to understand that what we have here in America is a luxury economy and that our fundamental problem is how to further expend a luxury economy if we are not to go backward and lose some of our present very high standard of living.

We must teach all men why "Production for use" would inevitably lower our standard of living. They must understand that our luxury economy rests upon salesmanship. They must understand that we can mass-produce both essentials and luxuries at lower and lower cost only if the public buys the output of the machines. They must under. stand that what has built in America the highest standard of living in the world is that salesmen have induced us to "want " more things, newer things and better things and thus to "buy" the product of our mass-production engineering genius.

We must get it through our own heads that millions of men r,r'ill not work any harder than they have to in order to get what they want and that the only way we have a prayer of maintaining reasonably full employment at high wages and raising the standard of living still higher in this country is to stimulate more and more people into wanting more and more things and wanting them so in-

tensely that they are actually willing to work a.little harder in order to get what they want.

We must teach all men that peace and harmony can be' maintained between management and labor only by recognizing that they must pull together as a team to reach their common goal of maximum production in order to curb the menace of inflation and maximum consumption in order to keep the'$261-billion debt and the unprecedented cost of government from decreasing our standard of living.

We must teach all men that our system depends for its existence upon freedom from violence, freedom to work together by voluntary agreement, freedom to own, to buy and sell, and to enjoy what one has produced or purchased.

We must teach all men that the words ..profit', and "dividends" mean merely "payment for the use of tools,, and that if there is no payment for the use of tools there will be no tools.

'We must safeguard the right of all persons to be secure in the ownership of the tools of production and. their management, and to enjoy the legitimate competitive earnings of tools (profits) free from taxation that punishes thriit.

We must teach all men that the money to buy new plant, tools, equipment, technical education-everything that lifts the productive power of men-comes from onli two sources-savings and hire for the use of tools ani equipment already in existence (profits). Every worker in America knows that he has a higher standard of living than workers anywhere else in the world because he hai more and better tools to work with. He knows well also that tools are always wearing out or becoming obsolete. But unfortunately he not only does not understand where they come from but he has been sold a lot of completely erroneous ideas about capital.

'We must teach all men that government is not a cow to be milked, that you can only confiscate and redistribute what thrifty men have saved in the past, and that every dollar the government spends comes out of the pockets of producers. We must make it clear to all men *hy .ro go.,r_

H. V. Simpson Says Modernizing of Mills ls Big Rage in Doughs Fir Mills Now

H. V. Simpson, Executive Vice President of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, a recent visitor in Los Angeles where he attended the big retailers' convention in Los Angeles, says that modernization is the order of the day among the sawmills of the great Douglas Fir territory. Numerous mills are hastening to secure dry kilns and newer and better planing mill machinery and equipment, keeping up with the demand for dressing and seasoning lumber better and getting it to market more quickly.

The only thing that holds back the wholesale improvement of an army of mills is the difficulty of securing new machinery and kilns, and the time it takes to get it installed and going. In another year many, many mills in Douglas Fir will be out of the rough lqmber business entirely, and kiln drying and dressing more lumber than ever before. The change from rough green production to dressed and dry production has been going on for years past; the difference is that it is now going at the highest speed conditions will allow.

Delectable Chaos

An oddress \efore the onnual meeting of the Southern California Lumber Association at Los Anseles, April 21,6v \fl. \(/. \(/oodbridse, secretary-mdndger/ Red Cedar ShinsJe Bureau, Seattle, Wosh.

It can be said that W. W. Woodbridge of Seattle, Washington has made shingles his life study. It has been his career for many, many years. He has traveled the length and breadth of the land, attending lumber con' ventions as Secretary of the Red Cedar Bureau, so naturally hi.s remarks carried with them the weight of authority. His speech entitled "Delectable Chaos" was well delivered and well received.

After reviewing how the Red Cedar inclustry suffered under the "Thorn of Government restrictons," he urged that the past be forgotten and that we look toward the future. The present condition in the shingle marketing he described as a "bidder's market."

Stressing the fact that his association has nothing to do with prices, he went on to explain costs which have entered into the making of shingles, citing how from forty years ago when labor was getting twenty-five cents per hour for a full week as against the present thirtyhour week at two-dollars per hour; how logs which sold back when at seven to nine dollars per thousand now bring above thirty-two dollars per thousand.

He held out hope that production would improve in the shingle mills and that for 1947 we could expect some l0/o to l5/o over 1946 production and possibly-if we accept the most optimistic predictions-that it will rise to 2O/o. These predictions, he explained, were contingent upon their being no further labor difficulties.

IIe nexi traced the trend of siding on small dwellings

and explained his reasons for believing that less and less wooden siding from the Southern Pine mills would be available in the future. In its place he urged use of stained shingles and shakes, as the most satisfactory type of sidewall. He predicted that the use of shingles and shakes for sidewalls would affect the stained shingles supply to the extent that practically all No. I and No. 2 will be stained as they come on to the market. He cited the fact that the National Plan Service of Chicago in putting out house plans had shown shingle and shake sidewalls in the proportion of five out of seven.

He pointed up the fact that shingles are a commodity that is sold through lumber dealers and only through lumber dealers. He urged that all men unite in their association work to lead us out of the present "delectable chaos" and to see to it that Americans are properly housed.

He recommended the purchase of Centigrade inspected shingles as a guarantee oT quality.

Our Bissdt Scllins Job

(Continued from Page 24)

.

ernment can give you something you did not earn, or give away what you have produced to a foreigner who did not work for it, except by taking it away from someone elseeither now here or not yet born.

We must teach all' men that the real job of government is to devise the rules of the road and not to tell the driver where or when he must travel.

W'e must revitalize the American spirit of self-reliance, ambition, thrift and industry. Teach all men again what all once knew, that the greatest motivating incentive in American life has been the right and the opportunity of the individual to "get ahead." The rise of men who were born on the "wrong side of the tracks" to positions of power and wealth and prestige has been a normal part of the American evolution, and has to continue to be.

We must teach employers and tool owners how to go about doing that job-how to reestablish confidence in the freedom of opportunity system that built in America so great a nation-how, in short, to build good human relations.

We must teach management how to earn its way back into the confidence of its own people.

Adopts New Price Policy

A step toward stabilization of home building costs is seen in the announcement of a new price policy for E. L. Bruce Co., Menphis, Tenn., manufacturers of hardwood flooring.

Walter J. Wood, general sales manager, made the announcement, saying that effective immediately his company will place a firm price on all flooring orders now on file, all of which now carry an "escalator clause" (which provides that the actual price will be the price prevailing at time of shipment). Bruce now has a very heavporder file, Mr. Wood stated, but as new orders can be accepted they will be taken on a firm price basis.

This new policy will enable builders to know the exact cost cf flooring for their projects and will protect them against any price increases that might occur before shipment.

Marquart Miracle lTindow Units

Announcement has been made of the new window creation, the Marquart Miracle Window lJnits, which are exclusively patented, manufactured and distributed by the Marquart Millwork Company of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

When planning to build, remodel, or renovate a home, special interest should be devoted to the windows-they are the Eyes of the Home.

Officials of the company say "the Miracle Window Units combine features that are unprecedented and revolutionizing in the building trade, and that jobbers, dealers, builders and architects all acclaim the unique features of, this superb development in window craftsmanship."

The Miracle Window is a complete unit. It contains combination storm sash and screens, which are built into the casings of the frame, but which might be conveniently fitted into a standard type frame, the latter being suspended on overhead balances.

The paramount feature of this window is the ease with which its three units can be removed for cleaning. A small lock, in each stile, is given a quarter turn with a screw-' driver whereupon a knee-action bolt releases the guidestrip, which is attached to the overhead balances. The sash is then moved slightly to the left, and gently lifted out, the complete operation having consumed but a few seconds. It is significant to note that the removal of this window in no way disrupts its balances.

This unit is designed not only for greater safety, but it also insures a lifetime of satisfactory service. Futhermore, its double rveather stripping principle saves fuel, and its pivot ventilators allow for perfect ventilation without draft.

Feather-touch operation adjusts the window. Tension counterbalances, two to each sash, lend "floating" fingertip control in raising or lowering windows.

This rrnit represents ten years of perservering labor, and it has been standarized into twelve sizes, which obviously simplifies manufacturing procedure and cost. These window units are currently being manufactured and distributed in the Middle West, and should subsequently find ready demand in the Western States.

Retcril Lumber Trcining Course At College oI Pcrcilic

The Lumber Merchants Association of Northern Cali{ornia reports a great success for the first 30-day retail lumber training course, being held at the College of the Pacific, Stockton. The Association is planning to start a second course to begin on or about May B. Dealers who wish to enter a young man in their employ in this class should get their applications in to the Association office, 1833 Broadway, Fresno, without delay.
