Portlancl, Oregon, April 14-Douglas fir lumber production for the first thirteen weeks of 1949 has fallen well behind output for the same period in 1948, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president, West Coast Lumbermen's Association. He said the first quarter cut of 1,905,601,000 board feet is 517.172,000 board feet short of the volume produced by western Washington and Oregon sawmills for first quarter of 1948.
I-ogging camps in the area, hampered by which liept many of them closed for nearly now in normal operation, Simpson advised.
Lumber shipn-rents from the Douglas fir continued to show improvement since the
a severe winter two months, are
mills in March winter lows and
were up 20 million feet over February' February also sholved a similar increase in shipments over January'
"The one bright spot in the lumber picture nationally," Simpson said, "has been the increasing demand by consumers for utility and economy grades of Douglas fir lumber. Intelligent buying of the right grade for the right use is aiding West Coast mills in their forest conservation drive' Industry is recoverinC 25% more logs from every acre today than ever before and much of these lower grade logs produce economy and utility grades. Consumer acceptance of these highly useful grades of lumber will insure continued improved forest practices and better conservation out here."
The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production in March was 169,304,000 board feet or 109.6% of the 19431948 average. Orders averaged 175,928,000 board feet; Ship-
ments 164,655,000 board feet. Weekly averages for February 'r.r'ere: Production 143,098,000 board feet. (92.6/o of the 19431948 average). Orders 160,695,000 board feet; Shipments 138,47 4,000 board feet.
Thirteen weeks of 1949 cumulative production 1,905,601,' 000 board feet; thirteen weeks of 1948, 2,452,773,000 boarcl feet; thirteen weeks of 1947,2,073,220,000 bd. ft.
Orders for thirteen weeks of 1949 break-down as follows: Rail, 1,386,121,000 board feet. Truck 77,056,000 board feet. Domestic Cargo, 323,565,000 board feet. Export 75,006,000 board feet. Local 218,237,000 board feet.
The Industry's unfilled order file stood at 649,629,000 t>oard feet at the end of March. Gross stocks at 979,186,000 board feet.

Extracts from the talk given by Sherman A. Blsho p, General Manager o[ the Calilornia Redwood Association, at the Northern California Lumber Merchants Association Convention in Yosemite National Park, April 11 and 12,1949.
The Seasoning Committee of the member mills has just completed a two-year program on the air drying and kiin drying of redwood. With their experimental kiln and intensive research in the air yards, they have perfected a method of drying redwood that not only greatly accelerates the drying period but reduces downfall and produces a better finished product. This new seasoning procedure will make it possible for member mills to take better care of the ever increasing demand for seasoned redwood.
Considerable emphasis is being placed on the development of uses for the lower grades of redwood, particularly, No. 3 Common. It is believed that the lower grades can be used to good advantage where the qualities and characteristics of the higher grades are not essential. The salesmen of member mills, as rvell as the entire Association staff stand ready to assist the dealers in this program.
The Association is completing a 3O minute color film, with sound, entitled "Sempervirens'1. This film touches lightly on production and stresses the uses for redwood in industry, in the home and on the farm. Further, the film covers the important subject of improved forest practices which guarantee a sustained yield. This film will be available to dealers, architects, builders and other groups interested in the subject of redwood and its uses.
The Association's new Farm Division calls for more contacts in the field with farm bureaus, schools and other prospective outlets for the use of redwood. It is the intent to tie in the u'ork of the Farm Division with the local

Pope & Talbot, Inc., Lumber Divileft for Lafayette, Ind., to attend at Purdue University. He will be weeks. Mrs. Wickersham acccom-
dealers and the Association rn,ill rvelcome any suggestiorts. This year calls for an accelerated pace on literature production and a good many pamphlets are now being planned for dealer distribution. A new one is just ofi the press on the use of lorver grades of redwood in shopping centers. Many new Data Sheets are being assembled and will be distributed through the dealers in the normal way. The Association lvelcomes any suggestions as to the type of l)ata Sheets and pamphlets that should be printed for clealer use.
The constant and ever-increasing demand for more data and information on redwood has necessitated the increase of the Association's staff. We feel that inquiries from the trade must be taken care of promptly and the larger staff is prepared to serve this need.
It is the Association's intent to have their grading inspectors become more active in the field. Heretofore, all graders' time was spent at the mills' Now it is planned to have the inspectors in the field on different occasions, so that they may learn and understand the dealer's viewpoint'
The Research Committee, made up of the member mills, is doing a tremendous amount of research in logging, sarvmilling, grading, seasoning and by-products. Great strides have been made at this early date and this important committee can make real contributions to the trade in general, r,vhich can only result in one thing ultimately-a bettei' oroduct for the consumer.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chernis have returned from a vacation trip to New York and Washington, stopping enroute to visit relatives in Houston, Texas. Mr. Chernis is with the Atlas Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

When. at the so-called Peace Conference in New York City recently, two men who attempted to speak kindly of the United States were hissed and booed, it brought to mind another prediction of a generation back, that "unless we stand watch and guard in this country the pigs would soon be eating the people."***
The smartest speech President Truman has made in his four ;'ears as President came the other day when he warned the "pigs" of the world that he would not hesitate to order the use of the atom bomb if civilization was threatened by an aggressor. * * *
If he had said the same thing a couple of years back we might not have had to institute the airlift into Berlin. The belief became general in EuropE that we good humanitarians rvould never use the bomb again.

For long and tiresome months the trial in New York of that group of leading American Cornmunists has been dragging on. Ever stop to think of what would have happened to them if they were being tried in Moscow for seeking the violent overthrow of the Soviet Government? Every man in the group would have been dead three days after the trial started. They would have been promptly tortured, all would have plead guilty, and Soviet justice would have been prompt and decisive. You'd think the defendants themselves would realize the difference.

Don't get the idea that it's only the rich who can live in the North and spend their winters in the South. Far from it. According to Governor Frank J. Lausche, of Ohio, approximately 2500 Ohioans collected about $200,000 in unemployment compensation from Ohio while spending last winter in California or Florida. The "Cleveland Plain Dealer" says, however, that Ohio doesn't give the best of service to its citizens in that respect. All it does is mail the checks to jobless vacationers in the South. The State of New York, on the other hand, has an omce in Miami,
for the convenience of its unemployed who are staying in F'lorida'
A few months back Fulton Lewis, Jr., devoted several of his programs to discussing the unemployment compensation racket. His figures indicated that only a very minor percentage of the money paid out by our government for unemployment compensation, is valid, the remainder being all sorts of graft. Unemployment compensation was created for the purpose of helping unemployed people who could not find employment. That seems to be a small part of the business now. as Governor Lausche's statement indicates'
Branch Rickey, of baseball fame, is a philosopher of no mean calibre, as his remarks on the subject of "Luck" should prove: "Luck is the residue of design," says Rickey, and continues; "It's uihat's left after you have invested yourself fully in the job in front of you, with what intelligence you had, what information you could get, with what energy, what industry you could put into it. You give it all you've got-and it comes out luck. And, if you haven't left very many loopholes for negligence or mistakes-it's probably good luck."
There used to be a well rnouthed adage along that line that said: "It isn't luck-it's pluck; it isn't inspirationit's perspiration; and genius is only a fancy name for hard work'"
There is a Tibetan manuscript that says: "To be satisfied with a little is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not."
Henry D. Thoreau *""*. *r*", whose philosophy was to live the life best fitted to Henry D. Tho'reau, and in doing so he won the acclaim of thinking men. Ralph Waldo Emerson said of him that "his calling was the art of living well." And Thomas Dreier says of him: "What work he did, he did expertly, but he could see no sense in working merely for money when there were so many other fascinating ways in which he could be useful to his own satisfaction. He could see no wisdom in doing any work disagreeable to him when there were so many needs of people that he could fiIl agreeably. He needed few material things for his happiness, things for which other people paid a high price in time and energy, and thus was richer than they were in leisure."
he still lacks liberty-freedom to go and come as he pleases." Which calls to mind the little satire in George Orwell's book, Animal Farm: "All animals are equal but some animals are more egual than* others."
Long before the words "Liberal" and "Liberalism" became so confused as to definition, a splendid thinker and historian, Prof. Ramsey Muir, of England, wrote a definition of true liberalism that should be framed on every American wall. It reads: "A belief in the value of the hrtman personality and a conviction that the source of ali progress lies in the free exercise of individual energy; it produces an eagerness to emancipate all individuals or groups so that they may freely exercise their powers, so far as this can be done without injury to others; and it therefore involves a readiness to use the powers of the state for the purpose of creating the conditions within which individual energy can thrive, of preventing all abuses of power, of affording to every citizen the means of acquiring mastery of his own capacities, and of establishing a real equalty of opportunitl*for all."
That line "affording to every citizen the means of acquiring mastery of his own capacities," seems to me to be the essence of that other so much abused word, Democracy. A paternalistic form of government is as far removed from true Democracy as is a dictatorship. I do now and always shall stick to the conviction that our government has nothing to do and should do nothing other than to enforce the laws, protect the lives and properties of its citizens, furnish intelligent assistance to the needy, the unfortunate, and the aged-and that's all. It is because we have strayed so far from the old time religion of Democratic government that our taxes and costs of government are mcuntain high. And they will never be lower until we find our way back.
I should have said "Fight our way back." Surely it will never happen otherwise.

Here is a shingle that gives gready increased protection against wind, weather, and fire. It is theJ-M Giant Strip, so named because itis extra tbick and, extra beaay. The entire surface has extra coating of selected weatherresisting asphalt, in which colorful, fireproof, mineral granules are uniformly embedded. This results in a thicker, more rugged shiogle-one that ..stays put', and lasts longer. h
Sketch shows how extra protection is built into the l--M Giant Strip. Note that the entire surface-not just the exposed portion-is covered with an extra thickness ofasphalt and fireproof granules. On the ordinary thick-butt type of asphalt shingle only tbe battshavethe extra thickness.

ever has it been our ambition to be known as the largest producer of plywood. But for 28 yearc we have had a more important objective-to be the best.
This adherence to quality extends not only to manufacture in modern mills. It has to do with long range product research programs, honest dealings with buyers, integrity of management, and the establishment of APMI sales service in major building areas.

California Builders Supply Company rvas founded in 1927. It was tn ideal time to start a new enterprise-any enterprise. Holv could you lose? Every dav stocks rvere zooming. Prosperity was every\ rhere, and everywhere to stay. Everybody u'as u'orking, everybody was making money, everybody was building, and everybody 'n'as playing the market.
In r-his Utopia, in the midst of this plenty, C.B.S. rvr's established to fill a real need for the distribution of building materials. In vierv of the prospects the start was mcrclest. It was not a shoestring operation, but still a small one in a warehouse on East 12th Street in Oakland.
The new firm prospered. Increasing demand for its services required larger warehouse stocks, and after tu'cr years of becoming more and more cramped, a move u':ts made to larger space at 29th and Ford. Shortly after geiting comfortably settled in these new quarters a fateful day occurred. What had seemed impossible happened'the market rvent over the crest and started tobogganing' The clepression lvas on its unhappy rvay.
There was a lag before its full effect n'as felt on the \\rest Coast, but it arrived in full force. During the learr years that follorved, 'California Builders Supply not onl;u managed to survive, but continued to gro'rv. New lines rvere added and inventories began to climb as long-rangc buying plans went into effe'ct, and again the rvarehousc began to get overfull. In 1937 larger quarters were necessary and the company moved its u'arehouse to its present location at 700-6th Avenue.
At this site there is over 25,000 square feet of function:ti warehouse space rvith its own siding for carload shipments. The floor plan is laid out for the fast handling <if materials by lift truck from the storage piles to the truck
and car loading platforms. A glazing department and a shop for special mill work are maintained, as well as offices for the rvarehouse records and sales force. A remodcling job rvas d-one during the past year to provide additional space rvhen the executive offices were moved to 4oth Street.
As ;he company continued to grow, tr,vo additional warehouses, each a complete operating unit, were added. The first ,vas established in Sacramento in 1939 and in 1946, tp cornplete the service in north central California, the second rvas installed in Fresno. The most recent move of 1fri5 :rggressive organization was separating the executive oflrces from the individual rvarehouses.
At the beginning of this year Arthur Williamson, former rnanager of the Sacramento warehouse, was tr4nsferrecl in the same capacity to Oakland. Mr. Williamsorr has been rvith the company for several years in other capacities.
Ke'rneth J. Shipp, president of the company' reports that this complete: the present expansion program' but from its pa;t record of success and the influx of eastern industry ancl rhe expected volume of building in the northern pot'tion of the state, it seems only a matter of time until California Builders Supply Company will again be on the movc'

After a long absence from the American market we are happy to be able to supply you again with Philippine Mahogany, one of the prized tropical hardwoods of the wodd.
The name PHILIPPINE MAHOGANY is an honored ong both with our trade and the buying public. To maintain the real value of this name and to conform with rulings of the Federal Trade Commission, the qualifying adjective "Philippine" should always be used in describing this lumber and the products made therefrom.

In Crockett, Texas, is a spreading oak tree under which, accorCing to legend, Davy Crockett spent many nights in encampment on his way to the ill-fated Alamo' Because of this legend, the town was named "Crockett."
Texoak Flooring Company located there, has taken the emblem of this famous Crockett oak as a trade mark for their Texoak flooring products which are distributed over the entire nation.
With almost a generation of lumber manufacturing experience behind them, and a desire to produce a flooring product second to none, Texoak Flooring Company, under the management of John Lingold, started about three years ago. 'Ioday Texoak manufactures a full line of hardwood floorings, including tongue and groove flooring, parquet
flooring, stair treads and risers, thresholds; as well as semi-dimension for furniture factories, including glued panels, dowels and many other hard',r'ood by-products'
Texoak Flooring Company operates no sawmills but buys hardwoocls from mills scattered through the hardrvoocl producing area that covers the 19 surrounding counties. The modern flooring plant of Texoak is an all-electric operation. While they have the conventional smoke stacks and boilers, their steam is used only for kilns and glue rooms. All motive power is electric. The lumber handling operaiion worked out by Bill Lingold, plant manager and youngest son of Jol-rr-r Lingold, is a marvelous thing to rvatch. All of the lumber before processing is handled by machinery. Ttucks and wagons loaded with green rough

lumber are driven under a hoist which lifts the load in the air and puts it on a conveyor chain, from which it is stacJ<ed acccrding to size and grade. Three Ross Fork-lift trucks and two Ross Carriers, or straddle buggies, augmented by a smaller lift truck, whisk the packages of lumber around the piant in jig time.
On the spacious storage yard, which covers seventeen acres, the green lumber is stacked to dry, where it remains for six months. After seasoning every stick of lumber, it is moved through the new automatic Moore Cross-circulating dry kilns. These modern kilns are big-eight tracks rvide and 120 feet long. Heat in every chamber is automatically controlled and a record of the temperatures is kept throughout the entire drying process.
Before the lumber emerges from the kilns, its moisturc is checked by an electric moisture meter, to be sure the wood is of the exactly correct moisture content. Kiln'cars are moved to the two story mill by an electric tfansfer. Loads come in at ground level and are raised to the flooring plant on the second story with a hydraulic lift which brings the boards up to the proper level for feeding to gang rip saws. As each layer is moved the lift automatically raises the load so that the level remains constant. The gang rip saws the boards to proper flooring strip rvidth. Then a planer knocks off part of the surface which provides uniform thickness before they reach the side matcher. The edgings drop down a chute to the first floor where they are made into dowels, ladder rungs, moulding or smaller furniture parts.
The heart of the entire flooring op..ution is a Woods 502-M all-electric side-matcher. This new machine operates at the amazing speed of 370 linear feet per minute. On this machine is a little wheel that is mighty important to every man in ihe place. It counts each foot of lumber that goes by. When the flooring factory got under way about three years ago they were turning out about 80,000 linear feet of flooring in a ten-hour day. The Lingolds called the men together and offered a bonus, based on .production rl{ 100,000 feet as a minimum task day. Although the figures seeme<l high to the men at the time, they now exceed this task every day. The men soon became conscious of the fact that they were not only working for the management, but were also r'vorking for themselves. The figures went up and up, and the peak production for one day now stands a,t 215,237 linear feet for a ten-hour run ! That figure is just short of 360 linear feet a minute-an enviable record in an.ybody's league.
Two sets of end-matchers are needed to carry on effective rvork by the Woods 502-M machine. Trfre finished product under the Texoak brand compares with flooring made by only the larger, more modern flooring plants in America. The men who make the company click have built a business which started from scratch in 1945. Today their annual volume of business totals over one million dollars !
Texoak's head is John Lingold, a native of Alabama, who has made Texas his home since 1924. A soft spoken man, rvith keen eyes and hair graying at the temples, he looks more like a banker than a lumberman. He began his career in the logging woods and he knows the timber area
tOS ANGEI.ES
of Texas like a book. He spent eight years traveling the sawmiil area ior a St. Louis wholesaler.
A man of qreat business courag'e, Mr. Lingold entereci the sarvmill business during the depression in 1932. He ran a mill in Avinger, Texas, lor 12 years and in 1944 he sold cut and moved to Crockett where he first established a machinery business. In 1946 he started building the oak flooring plant in Crockett and he has developed it into a healthy business.
Mr. Lingold also operates Crockett Manufacturing Company with the help of another son, Caton Lingold, who is a gra.Juate engineer. A veteran of World \A/ar II, Caton Lingold has had great success in designing an ingeniousiy effrcient salvmill machine which Crockett Manufacturing Company manufactures for sawmills throughout the Southwest. Crockett Manufacturing Company also distributes sawmill supplies. Caton was the engineer in full charge of construction of the Texoak plant.
Bill Lingold, r.vho is in charge of Texoak Flooring Cornpany, has a flair for making use of every by-product which comes from the flcioring machines. Also a veteran of World War II, Bill has had great success as active manager of the flooring plant.
Besides Texoak tongue and groove flooring, the conrpany has produced a tongue and groove block flooring which is sold under the brand of Texoak Parquet. This new parquet flooring, when laid with the grain running in alternate directions, provides a flooring of breath-taking beauty. It can be used for laying over old flooring, for new construction over either sub-flooring or concrete sub-
flooring. T"lhe entire Texoak staff is highly enthusiastic about the new Texoak Parquet, as they feel it has infinite possibilities where something unusual in oak flooring is desired.
Backing the merchandising of Texoak Flooring is an outstanding national advertising campaign in the trade papers, plus a cooperative dealer campaign which includcs radio scripts, newspaper ads, display pieces and direct mail folders. The t:ntire flooring products of the company are handted through lumber dealers. No direct-to-job sales are made. Wholesalers are carefully selected to serve lumber dealers at each territory with the entire Texoak Flooring line.
Pleasants Lumber Co., owner of a sarvmill, located 25 miles north of Santa Cruz has established a distribution yard on Butler Road, South San Francisco, and is installing a remanufacturing plant there.
flhe new mill is an all-electric, all-steel, twin circular plant, which cuts 40,000 feet per day, 80 per cent redwood and 20 per cent fir.
W. F. Pleasants is the head of the concern. Roy White, experienced sawmill operator, is mill superintendent, and John Secrist is sawyer. The mill has been in operation two months. The mailing address at South San Francisco is P.O. Box 88. The telephone number is JUniper 8-607.
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes. But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of mouse should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse, or a whole set of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth, but a whole set are teeth, Why should not the plural of booth be called beeth? Then, one :nay be that, and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural would not be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, and not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But tho we say Mother, we never say Methren. The masculine pronouns are he, his, and him, But imagine the feminine she, shis, and shim. So English, I fancy you all will agree, Is the funniest language you ever did see.

Frcrncis Bcrcon Said:
"Whereas I believed myself born for the service of mankind, and reckoned the care of the conunon weal to be among those duties that are of right open to all alike even as the waters and the air, I, therefore, asked myself what could most advantage mankind, and for the performance of what tasks I seemed to be shaped by nature. But, when I searched, I found no,work so meritorious as the discovery and development of the arts and inventions that tend to civilize the life of man."

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
f love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace, I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight; f love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use fn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. f love thee with a love f seemed to lose With my lost saints; I love thee with the breath Smiles, tears, of all my life ! and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

MacPherson was strolling down the street when he noticed what he thought was the familiar figure of a friend. Quickening his steps he came up to the man and slapped him on the back. To his amazement and confusion he then saw that he had swatted an utter stranger.
"Oh, f beg your pardon," he said apologetically, "I thought you were an old friend of mine, Mackintosh by name."
The stranger recovered his wind and replied with considerable heat:
"And supposing I were Mackintosh, do you have to hit me so hard?"
Retorted MacPherson:
"And what do you care how hard I hit Mackintosh?"
A man's life is full of crosses and temptations.'

Lawrence Ottinger, president of United States Plywood Corporation and W. D. Illyne, chief of the mission of Compagnie Francaise du Gabon, have completed an agreement by which U. S. Plywood will receive 20 per cent of the output of a huge hardwood plywood mill now nearing completion at Port Gentil on the Ogooue River in Gabon Province, French Equatorial Africa.
Mr. Ottinger explained that the new hardwood plywood mill will have a capacity of 10,000,000 feet a month, oi which 2,000,000 feet will be available for American building, furniture and re-veneering purposes. The project rs being financed by the French including the Paris banking house of Seligman & Co. United States Plywood Corporation is furnishing the technical skill in construction of thc plant and will put it into operation about November 1. One feature of the plant is an air-conditioned storage room for plywood. The controlled humidity prevents moulding.
For the past two years, U. S. Plywood has been importing Korina logs, a blonde hardwood from the Belgian Congo.
