THE CALIFOR}IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

JackDionne,prblislw

How Lrumber Lrooks

Favored with an open winter throughout most of western Oregon and Washington and a plentiful supply of logs, West Coast sawmills, in the 13 weeks of 1948, cut 2,046,528,000 bd. feet to top the same period of last year by 8.2 per cent, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association,

Portland, April 12 -

Orders for West Coast lumber in the first quarter of 1948 shorved a gain in every domestic category Simpson stated. Largest gain was in Oregon and Washington or' ders which jumped from 195,786,000 feet in 1947 to 242,238,000 feet in 1948 to date. Cargo orders from California were 16,000,000 feet higher in 1948 for a total ol ffi,647,O00. Atlantic Coast and Gulf orders in 1948 amount to 235,050,000 {eet, topping by 45,000,000 feet the 1947 figure. Despite a severe rvinter in many parts of the midwest and east, rail orders were up more than 4,000,000 feet to total 1,294,517,000 feet so far this year. Rail business stability is accounted for in part by a strong California demand.

Shipments during the l3-u'eeks of 1948 exceeded by more than 100,0@,000 feet those of the. same period in 1947, Simpson pointed out, and nearly kept pace with production.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber productioll in March 1948 was 158,958,000 board feet, or 107.0 per cent of the 1942-1947 average. Orders averaged 151,010,000 board feet; shipments 157,959,000 board feet. Weekly

averages for February \ rere : production 157,567,W (106.0 per cent of the 1942-+7 average) orders 155,585,000, shipments 154,500,000 b.f.

Thirteen weeks for 1948, cumulative production 2,046,528,000 b.f.; thirteen weeks 1947, 1,890,785,000; thirteen weeks 1946, 1,770,866,000.

Orders for thirteen r,r'eeks of 1948 break down as follows: tall I,294,517,000; domestic cargo 322,372,60; export 104,039,000 ; local 242,238,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 6t5,774,O00 at the end of March. Gross stocks at 482,263,040.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended April 17, 171 mills reporting, gave orders as 55,473,000 feet, shipments 57,9+1,000 feet, and production 55,944,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 210,040,000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended April 10, 161 mills reporting, gave orders as 102,004,000 feet, shipments 99,233,000 feet, and production 102,995,000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 489,969,000 feet.

For the rveek ended April 17, 162 mills reporting, gave orders as 100,665,000 feet, shipments 92,615,000 feet, and production 95,213,000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 492921300 f.eet.

What a Stalinist Homer's Odysseus would have made' Flomer tells us what a smoothie this Greek chieftain was, his chiefest pride being his ability to deceive, and we find the Goddess Athene saying to Odysseus: "Cunning must be he, and knavish, who would go beyond thee in all man,r., oi guife, aye, though it were a gd that met thee' Bold

I rate Calvin Coolidge a worth-while philosopher. While he was President, Rupert Hughes published his book on George Washington, in which he told some devastating things about the personal and moral character of the Father of our Country. A reader of the book called Coolidge's attention to these revelations. Cal remarked: "f notice the Washington monument is,still standing." ***

News dispatches tell us that the big Hollywood movie studios have made deep cuts in the salaries of their executives and stars. Now ain't that just too bad? How do you suppose those big executives and stars are going to get along, selling their push-cart peddler abilities for a pitiful several thousand a week, instead of double that amount like they have been getting? Consider the sad plight of the dizzy young actors and actorines who jumped frorn a truck driver's seat or over a ribbon counter and from twenty a week into the thousands, and now are having their pay reduced a bit ! Ain't is just too awful? How sad it must make the $250 a month college teachers feel ! Oh please don't tell any more of those sad*stories. They break my heart !

Governor Dewey, of New York, in a recent speech, made a short talk on salesmanship that impressed me greatly. I think it was the soundest criticism of America's foreign policy I have heard. Here is the thought: We advertise ourselves as a nation of salesmen. American salesmanship has been exploited as highly as American freedom and prosperity. Right now and for some time past we have been engaged in a competitive sales contest. We have been trying

to sell America to the peoples of Europe and Asia. At the same time our ponderous adversary of the hammer and sickle has been offering the Russian way of life instead. On our side we have the greatest prosperity the world has ever witnessed. Ours are the best dressed, the best housed, the best fed, the most prosperous people in history, with everything including freedom to make us happy. Our adversary has little to ofrer except a police government where the rights of the individual are completely ignored, and where there is penury, and poverty, and slavery, and misery on all sides. Yet, says Governor Dewey, they are outselling us. And, come to think of it, that's exactly what they have been doing. Nation after nation falls before their sales talk, and ignores ours. Maybe we're not the salesmen we have alway" t"_*ld. *Do )'ou reckon?

Speaking of depression threats, keep in mind the old French allegory that points a moral worth remembering. It concerns the "Vicious Circle." A portrait'painter sat at his favorite cafe, sipping his wine. A wealthy builder had just given him an order to paint his portrait. His small bottle finished, he was about to order a second when his eye fell on a headline in a copy of "Figaro" at the next table. The line lsad-"Ha1d Times Are Coming." So, instead of ordering his second bottle of wine, he called for his check. "Is there anything wrong with the wine?" asked the landlord. "The wine is good, but I did not order the second bottle because hard times are coming and I must economize," said the artist. "Hard times," said the landlord, "then my wife must not order the silk dress she planned." "I{ard times," repeated the dressmaker when the order was cancelled, "then this no time to expand; I must not make the improvement I had planned to this place." "Ifard times," said the builder, when the dressmaker cancelled the building plans, "then f cannot have my portrait painted." So he wrote the artist 9nd cancelled the order. After receiving the letter the portrait painter went again to his favorite cafe and ordered a small bottle of wine to soothe himself. On a near-by chair lay the same copy of "Figaro." ffe again read the headlines, but this time he also read the date. The paper was ten years old. But the harm was done.

No matter what else you may say in your morning prayers, let it always include these words: "Lord, help me to keep my damn nose out of other people's business."

The old saying that "figures won't lie, brft liars wili figure," is well authenticated by the following table which is going the rounds, purporting to be a breakdown of the nation's work potential, facetious, of course, but fun:

2: You and I ! And you'd better get a wiggle on. I'm getting tired of doing all the work.

This statement was made here today by the executive committee of the Redrvood Operators Committee, representing the eight redrvood lumber companies n'hich have been struck for nearly t\,venty seven months.

Redwood Workers Get Inc'rease of 5 Cents Per Hour

My Neighbor cnd I

My neighbor lives just over the way, across the boundary fence.

A habit that neighbors have.

But he is no mere neighbor, in the sense that his property is simply adjacent to mine.

He greets you with a smile, no mattgr who you are or where he meets you, and his big bass voice booms out cheery exclamations.

That neighbor of mine.

Ffe's the idol of every youngster in the neighborhood, for whose eager interrogatives he is never too busy, and into whose play-life he enters with a heart that refuses to grow old.

Even the animals and birds find sanctuarv, food and shelter by grace of-

This neighbor of mine.

He does not turn away from the tears of others, or shun their burdens, but is the first to offer his services in sorrow's lone hour-a rock of defense for the weary heart.

Through the faults of others he draws an erasing line and covers their sin with a mantle of true charity, and, like the One of old, gently bids them go in peace and sin no more:

This neighbor of mine.

But-and in this my heart condemns meAm I true neighbor to him?

Soldiers

"I never felt so punk in all my life."

"Do any drinking last night?'

"Yes, and when f went to bed I felt fine. But when I woke up I felt terrible. It was the sleep that did it."

My Rocd

My road calls me, lures me, West, East, South and North, Most roads lead men homewards, My road leads me forth.

To add more miles to the tally, Of grey miles left behind, fn quest of that one beauty, God put me here to find.

The Set ol the Scil

-Masefield.

One ship sails east, another west, By the self-same wind that blows, 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale, That determines the way they go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate, As we journey along through life, 'Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal, And not the storm or the strife.

(Author unknown)

Iust An Empty Bottle

George Meredith, the English author, loved to make plays upon words. Richard Le Gallienne says that, seeing an empty wine bottle on the table, Meredith spoke as follows to the house maid:

"Mary, you behold here a body from which the soul has departed. A body without a soul ! Mark it there, empty and useless, of no value to gods or men ! One full of genial fire, golden warmth for heart and brain, alive with inspiring ichor, the Hymettian fount of noble talk and soaring thought, the elixir vitae of wit, making of man's dull brain a thing of magic and dream, lifting our dull mortality into the highest heaven of invention ! But behold it now, a hollow, echoing shell, a forlorn cadaver, its divine life all poured out of it, no laughter in it, no wisdom, no human kindness in it, any more, forever. What shall be done with it, Mary? A body from which the soul has departed! What do we with such? What is there to be done, but to hurry it out of sight of gods and men-mournful reminder of feasts that are at an end, and dimming candlss-."

The firm was recently formed by lumber, logging, and plywood interests in Portland. The Portland Spar plant, valued at $150,000 will form the core of the mill while $750,000 will be spent in additions, equipment and working capital, according to George Murphy, president.

The mill is expected to employ 160 men and produce 36 million square feet of plywood a year. An adequate log supply has been assured. Logging operations will begin in about 60 days, while the remainder of the plant is being completed. Full operation is expected by year's end.

Items of Interest

A knot is the end section of a branch or limb cut across the rings of annual growth. When a limb is sawn through at right angles to its length, a round knot results in the lumber. When a limb is cut through diagonally, an oval knot results. When it is sawn lengthwise a spike knot results.

In the Douglas fir region of Western Oregon and Washington the federal government, states and counties own or manage 60 per cent of the 439 billion feet of available timber.

Wood surfaces that are to be glued should be smooth and true. Machining should preferably be done just before lte held gluing so that the surfaces do not become distorted from subsequent moisture changes.

George D. Eubank, of L. H. Eubank & Son, wholesale millu,'ork manufacturers, fnglervood, Calif., returned April 22 irom a trip to l-ris ranch near LaBarge, Wyoming. His father, Lee H. Eubank, lr.ho accompanied him, u'ill stay at the ranch for some time.

Paul Matthies, P. L. Matthies Co., wholesale lumber dealer, Pasadena, is back from a business trip to Northern California and Nevada. Paul reports having had a successful trip and says he got through Reno in good shape, in fact a little to the good.

Checks are small lengthwise separations of the woods and are caused by too rapid evaporation of moisture from the surface of a piece of lumber.

During the plastering operation in a moderate-sized sixroom house approximately 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of rvater are used, all of which must be evaporated before the house is ready for the interior finish. Failure to provide adequate ventilation means trouble later because of the moisture absorbed by the framervork. It is also a cause of paint blistering on exterior finish and siding.

Transfers General Sales Headquarters

Standard Gypsum Company of California has announced the transfer of its general sales headquarters from Long Beach. California. to Oakland.

Simultaneously, Claude Harper, assistant general manager of the Henry J. Kaiser directed organization, revealed the company has expanded its Southern California sales force and also added to its line of products Standard rock lvool, an insulating material for hornes and other types of buildings.

Transfer of the organization's general sales ofrfices brought General Sales Manager Gil Richards and Iixport Sales Manager Sidney J. Smith to Oakland where they will headquarter in the Kaiser Building.

Handling the company's sale of mineral wool insulation and Synkaloid products and headquartered at Long Beach is Robert C. Sides. Prior to the war Sides operated his own business, Sierra Minerals Company, which manufactured roofing, accoustical and insulating materials.

Another newcomer to the Kaiser organization is Galen Thomas who early in 1948 joined the Southern California sales staff of Standard Gypsum Company.

More Imports Thcrn Exports

Lumber exports from the United States during 1947 totalled over one billion ,board feet, according to statistics released by the Census Bureau. While these exports were almost double the 1946 total, the volume vvas still belor,r. the average for the pre-war decade.

For the seventh consecutive year, imports rvere greater than exports of lumber in 1947-footage imported exceeded exports by l3 per cent.

Exports of railroad ties during '47 reached re.cord levels -about six million ties vl'ere exported, r,vhich is substan. tially higher than the former peak year of. 1929.

Estimated requirements for countries participating in ERP indicate that over 50 million ties .rvill be needed from sources outside F-urope from 1948 through 1951.

Opent Forest Fire Prevention Campaign

Secretary of Agriculturt Clinton P. Anderson said that the importance of forest fire prevention could not be overemphasized in our day rvhen the dependence of mankincl on ample and productive natural resources is reflected in every page of current history. The record s{rows that nations rise as their natural resources are developed and rvane if these are exhausted through unwise and rvasteful use, he added.

The statement was made in connection with the opening of the sixth annual nation-wide Forest Fire Prevention Campaign u'hich lvas announced jointly by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Association of State Foresters, and the Advertising Council.

"We can't prevent the 10 per cent of our forest fires that results from lighting," said the Secretary, "but certainly each one of us can be sure that he does not contribute to starting the other 90 per cent throqgh a lighted match dropped in the rvoods, a neglected campfire or other inexcusable carelessness."

Public Housing for Public Housers?

Washington, D. C., April l6-The building industry owes Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin a great debt of gratitude for clarifying the public housing features of the TaftEllender-Wagner Housing Bill, H. R. Northup, secretarymanager, National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, Washington, D. C., stated today.

"On the basis of the Senate floor discussion," he said, "senators Taft and Flanders make it appear that the chief reason for passing the TEW Bill is to create public housing for public housers."

Senator McCarthy is the only member of the Senate who has fought to make Title I Class 3 loans effective and who has realistically demanded public housing to cover those who need it most, Northup said. His amendment to the rewritten TEW Bill would restrict public housing to indigent groups and to people having the very lowest incomes.

Senators Flanders and Taft, Northup pointed out, apparently take the position that all of the low income groups are entitled to subsidized housing and that only a very small percentage (less than l0/o) of the very lowest income groups should be admitted to subsidized projects.

"Apparently," Northup continued, "the Federal public housing people do not want the very lowest income groups and welfare cases to occupy federally subsidized housing because if that happened then the public housers wouldn't have any pictures to use to advocate more public housing."

Senators Taft and Flanders have also opposed on the floor Senator McCarthy's amendment covering Title I Class 3 loans-a truly American 'l'vay to finance actual lowcost homes for the American people, Northup stated.

"Senator Taft stated, 'If any considerable number of such houses are built, it rvill simply create a new source of slums, because it is impossible to build a modern house for $4,000 or $5,0@."'

Notrvithstanding Senator Taft's views, Secretary Northup points out that "Industry Engineered Homes are being built at $5,400 and $5,000 complete rvith land under Title VL "Scores of building material and lumber dealers have built and can build homes under Title I. Class 3 rvith $3000 financing," he said.

As an example, Secretary Northup quoted {rom FHA's cxvn ofhcial publication "pe11f6lis" for the first quarter oi 1948 reporting the experience of Hans Gehrke, Jr., vice

president of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Detroit, Xlichigan. This firm has made 128 Class 3 loans.

"Our experience in the higher priced properties," Mr. Gehrke states, "indicates that the physical security is generally at its-best at the time the mortgage is made and then starts to clepreciate. In the instances of Class 3 loans our experience r\-as contrary to this. The physical securitrr in most cases was rveakest at the time the loan rvas closed and then, becanse of the industry and u'ork of the borrorv. er in improving his home, the value of the physical security appreciatecl. As the loan .n'as amorti2ed the risk became less, not only because of the declining balance, but because of the increasing value of the property ou'ing to the improvements made by the borrower."

It is evident that industry and thought are still valued by the banking profession; Northup observed, and therefore that Class 3 loans provide a much needed opportunity for the industrious to substitute energy for capital in acquiring a real home.

Americqn Lumber Congress

At the recent executive cornrnittee meeting in Ner.v Orleans, the NLMA staf{ was directed to make preliminary plans for an industry-rvide American Lun.rber Congress to be held in Chicago some time in 1949. Final arrangements 'rvill be announced after a meeting of the full Board of Directors this fall.

Ovid Butler Retires

Ovid Butler, executive director of the American Forestry Association for the past trventr,-fir'e years and editorin-chief of its r-nagazine American Forests, resigned on April I. N{r. Butler, l'ho began his career in 1903 with the old Bureau of Forestry in the U.S. Department of -A.griculture, has served American forestry since that time in various capacities. He served as assistant director of the U.S. Forest l)roclucts Laboratory at NIadison, Wisconsin; rvas president of the Society of American Foresters and American delegate to the 1936 \Vorld Forestry Congress at Budapest.

In 1922 Mr. Butler left the government service to become forester for the American Forestry Association, and before tl-re year $'as out, its executive secretary and editor of its magazine American Forests. During his career he has written many articles on forestry and conservation and compiled and edited three books.

The Association's board conferred upon him the honorary title of Executive Director Emeritus on N{arch 18 of this year. He rvill continue to serve the association in an advisorv capacity.

A stand of Douglas fir may start out with 1000 or more trees per acre. An acre, however, will support only about 150 mature trees. If not used, the rest are lost through overcrowding.

One-third, or approximately 140,000,000 acres, of the nation's commercial woodland is owned by farmers. This is more area than the forests of Norway, Sweden and Finland put together.
