Where Did You Come From-Boom-My Dear? "Out Of The Everywhere Into Here."
tl{3*
Yes, like the "baby dear" in the sweet old poem, this great building boom that sweeps tfie nation just came from everywhere. ft came from North, South, East, West, and all local statione. And isn't it a beaut?
**tf
At thie time last year, not even the moet optimistic among us-meaning myself--cxpected anything like it. The graph showing the ups and downs of the building and lumber industry, was quite a picture of hills and dales for the good year forty-nine. And when I eay "good year," I DO mean GOOD. They say that "everything's well that ends well." Nineteen forty-nine "done it," and "done it" good ! ***
The lumber market generally was pretty soft last fall, and when winter ushered in the season usually closed to building in much of the country, things didn't look so hot. Fact is, they looked sorta coolish around the edges. The first good break came in the early winter in the Pacific Northwest, that country where so many big trees come into so many big mills to make so very many boards in so short a time'
{. ,r *
It froze plumb up, that whole lumber country did. The mill ponds froze, the log camps got snowed and iced under, and it was too dad-blamed cold for men to work in the mills. It was no temporary affair. When the weather man started in to help the lumber business in Washington and Oregon, he did a job, and for many weeks there was practically no lumber *"U..
And this was no single-bladed axe that Providence was using to make the lumber market pick up. fnstead of building falling off in the dead of winter as is usually the case, here, there, and in thousands of places, building kept right up to fall levels. In the Southern sawmill districts conditions were fairly normal during this time, but when the big mills of the Northwest shut doqrn and stayed down, the lumber production of the South was soon snowed under.
The opinion was ,.rr.L an* * soon as spring came and the Northwest mills got to hitting the ball hard, they would knock a lot of the stiffness out of the lumber market. And that proved to be a wrong prediction, too. The demand for lumber kept right on getting higher and higher as the builders of the nation shoveled away the last of the snow and ice, and the lumber market got even
stronger with the coming of spring. It's that way now. The greatest home building boom in history seemE certain inl95o' * *,r
Ycs, Sir, last January when the demand for lumber bcgan swamping the reduced supply, the market pickcd up with a rush. It jumpcd high in the air, cracked its heels three times, let out three rousing whoops, and hit the ground running. And it's going at full speed yet. The big mills of the Northwest are doing their durndest to handle their order file, but they havcn't accornplished it, and the Southern mills are riding a splendid wave of prosperity, with strong Ui-TU*-d fine prices.
All the Western wood,s, the Southern Pines, all the hardwood producing areas, are in the same fix. Up to now they've got more business than they can say grace over. Same way with all the wood products, such as shingles, doors, plywood, and millwork. The plywood boom is sensational. ft's a red-hoa "O*"lt, and don't doubt it !
Nobody has come along to explain very clearly the why of this tide of lumber and building activity, other than that it comes from a great variety of sources. First came the Northwest freeze, then a winter building boom, and now there are two more big, strong shots being forced into the veins of business and industry. One is the "$2,800,000,000 which the Government is paylng out to the veterans; the second is the increased and increasing tide of credit business that the nation is taking advantage of. They are acting like hypos in the arm of business generallY' r. * r.
Two billion and eight hundred millio'n dollars is a whale of a lot of money, even in these days, and going to the Vets it is money that goes into the channels of trade RIGHT NOW. This cash is being spent, not hoarded. ft is safe to say that nine out of every ten of these Veterans' dollars become liquid als soon as received. That's the kind of money that is quickly felt. A highty intelligent student of finance and economics told me the other day that the force of this injection of dollars into our national money stream is going to carry along for months to come, and that the spring and early summer look like a cinch to follow the pattern ot j"Ult.*
And the nation is buying more and more goods on credit as credit is relaxed. Listen to the advertising coming in over your radio. "No down payment" is almost a slogan for advertising of every sort of goods the public buys. You'll find the same words printed in much of the

daily newrpaper advertiring. And you can be aure of onc thing; there are worlds of people to whom no down paymcnt, or a very low down payment, is an inducement they cannot resiet. So businegs generally is very active right now. The crowdE you 8ee on the streets have money in their pockets and are eager to get rid of it. Or they are hustling to take advantage of the easy paymcnt ofrerg. Anyway, they are buying frcely, thus greatly increasing the national business volume and eales turnover. They forget, as pcople invariably do when crcdite become lax, that everything must be paid for in the long run, and the famous old rhyme that says:
I bought the dress on the in'stallment plan, The reason, of courge, to please a man; The dress is worn, the man is gone, But the blamed installments go on and on. tt**
While there is always a lot of variation in such matters, the building boom is national. I talked to a man in the plumbing busineos in Southern California who told me he is right now putting the plumbing in fifty-five hundred houses. No, he said he didn't get the entire contract. His was only part of the home building project. And since that I read of another home building project near Los Angeles that will build nineteen thousand new houses just as fast as the job can be done. Things like that go on, in greater or'lesser volume, all over the country. ***
"Look" Magazine gives a sample of what's going on in Houston, Texas, saying: "The city throbs constantly with the staccato hammering of riveters, high up on scaffolds as new structures soar higher in the air. Houston is growing so fast that a building standing sharp against the sky one month, is likely to be another kid brother the next. To a person standing off on the prairie, the rising skyline could be the rocketing lines of a graph showing an economic boom rarely seen in the booming history of America'"
How long is this building situation going to last? Nay, nay Pauline, I shall make no rash efforts to answer that riddle, or stick my neck out that far. I cannot say, as did the old sage in Scot's "Lady of the Lake" that "'tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore, and coming events cast their shadows before." Not before me, they don't.
But there'r no harm in calling attention to rome facts that might point the way. Such as:
Government epcnding is the great force that supports our prescnt situation, with its high prices, high profits, high wages, high everything. The pouring of billions into the national bloodstream continuep unabated. Government spends with reckless abandon. And it is very likely to do eo for a long time to come; until the elections two years hence, for instance. We can talk all we pleaee about stopping waste, balancing thc budget, reducing the national debt, reducing taxes, etc., but it is most unlikcly that anything of the kind is going to happen. Thi,s Government is absolutely compelled to continue this mad money situation if it hopes to remain in office. Any severe elackening of easy money would*be*politically disastrous.
Therefore it seems to me to be junt plain common sense that the AdminiBtration is going to continue to do everything in its power, to turn every possible trick and spend every possible dollar, to prevent any slackening in our rate of economic and financial travel. And if so, business might deem it wise to plan its progress and direct its course along those lines. If the situation we have today is to be called "good business," then good business has a mighty fine chance to continue indefinitely. How long? Aw, Brother ! I wish I knew ! Some say until the money runs out. Some say until the fellow comes around with the check that must some day be paid. I dunno. But f have a feeling that this merry-go-round we are on will continue for some time. But dont t:a T. influence you.

Thi" fiou soft wood is one of the Associated Woods produced by member mills of the Western Pine Association. It is finetextured, and although light in weight, is very strong for its weight. Caryenters like it because it is easy to work, nails without splitting and holds nails and glue firmly.
Engelmann Spruce is suitable for many building uses such as sheathing, subflooring, framing, ceiling and siding.It works up satisfactorily for interior finishing, mill work, industrial boxes and crates. The tight knotted boards are often used for knotty paneling particularly where a wood of light color and rather inconspicuous knots is desired.

I think I think but do I think? Please tell me if you know; S<l many thoughts come down to me Fr<lnr tinre's l<lng, long ago. Grim, spectral fingers trace the lines While ghostly voices call, The thouglrts I smugly think I think May not be mine at all.
Sonretimes I think <;uite worthy thoughts, llut these I <puickly find, Were etched by mother years ag()ne Upon my plastic mind; Then there were books which father read And lessons teachers taught, From here and there and everywhere, The thoughts I think are caught.
Politically I'm thiuking straight; This is because, you see, Father explained his party code And solrl the sanre to mc; Anrl so I linorv thltI arrr right .\nd all oponcnts \\/r()n!{, I follorv father's party lincs And siug his llarty sorrg.

Stairs Importcnt In Home
More attention should be given to stairways in the home, according to the Housing and Home Finance Agency. Stairs are often built steep to save space, but it may be a dangerous economy. Treads of steps should be sufficiently deep, and risers enough for comfortable and safe use.
Treads 10 inches deep rvith a oneinch overhang and risers 7% inches high are recommended. Stairs should be no steeper than 30 to 35 degrees. A prrll-down ladder from the attic may be safer than a steep stairs.

"What rort of a Party wal it?"
"Dccide for yourself ; when it gtartcd the hostess said 'Everybody chews his own partncr'."
Bueinesg ls Business
"Buline$ iF business" thc big man gaid, But it'r something that's more, far more, For it malces tweet gardens of deserts dead, And citles it built, now roar.
Where once the deer and the grey wolf ran, From thc pioneer's swift advancc, Businees iB magic that toils for man, Business is truc romance.
And those who make it a ruthless fight, Have only themselves to blame, If they feel no whit of thc keen delight In playing the bigger game.
The game that calls on the heart and head, The best of man's strength and nerve, "Bugine,ss is business" the big man said, And that business is. to serve.
He Wcs Fortilied
An aged Scot lay on his deathbed. The parish clergyman sat at his side, urging him to prepare for the future life that was coming hourly nearer to him, and spoke of thc near approach of the time when he would have to appear before the "king of terrors."
"Weel, weel," said the old Scot, "and what for should I be afraid to meet the king of terrors? Hae I no lived with the queen of them for the last thirty years?"
Courtesy
Courtesy is the one medium of exchange that is accepted at par by the best people of every country on the globe. It is sentiment clothed in busineisslike and reasonable expression-the embellishment that adds tone and harmony to matter of fact routine-the oil that lubricates the machine of commercial good fellowship, and promotes the smooth running of an organization. Courtesy radiates a spirit of good feeling that we are no working entirely for what we get out of the work in the material waybut the pleasure of polite transaction and friendly asliociation as well.
Restaurant Sign
Sign seen in a lunch counter: "We pay our waiteris excellent wages. If you want to buy them automobiles, go to it."
The Mind
Queer thing, isn't it, this Aladdin's lamp which we call the mind? The more it is ured, the more power it por' reue8. And of all thc wonders it creatcs there are none greater or more wondcrful than ideaa formed for the benefit of others. What a man may think, a man may make.
LiIe
Man'g life means Tender 'teens, Teachablc twenties, Tireless thirties, Fiery forties, Forcible fifties, Serious sixties, Aching eighties, Shortening breath, Death, Sod, God.
K.P.
First Colored Recruit: "Sojer, de ossifer say I gwine t'be K.P. all nex' week. Whut do he mean?"
Second Colored Recruit: "Igerant boy, dat K.P. means jes one thing-KEEP PEELIN-dass all."
One Viewpoint
Guest at Party: "My ! What a beautiful woman !"
Another Guest: "Thanks. That's my wife !"
First Guest: "Congratulations ! It must be a pleasure to lose every argument to a woman as good looking as that !"
About Grcndpc
Come boy, to your dad, let me tell you some things, Of the man who loved me as I'm now loving you, For the heart is a pendulum, heavy, that swings Aye, forward and back, as all pendulums do. And tonight mine has swung far away to the time When your dad had a dad, just as you have, my son, A dad to whose arm$ I was welcome to climb, When his day in the field or the meadow was done.
I crept into arms that were stronger, my lad, And hands-O so tender-were harder than mine. For the world had been harsh with the dad of your dad, Yet I wish that my soul were as gentle and fine.
As the one roughly clad in that body of his That so lavishly gave of his strength for the one
Who now shelters you. And my prayer's burden isThat you may think thus of YOUR father, my son.

Nationr '50 Sccdling Production M.y Rsforsrt Half Million Acra
Washington, D. C.--Thc United States last year produced enough tree seecllings to reforest more than a third of a million acres of timberland' This year the figure may g() up to half a tnillion acres,
These facts were revealed in a reccnt stlrvey of all fcdcral, state and private nurseries in the cottntry made by J. C. McClellan, chief forester for Anrerican Forest Products Industries, Inc., Washington, D. C.
"More than 3ll0 nrillion see<llings were produced in the nation's nurserie$ in 1949. At a thousand seedlings per acrc, that's enough trees to reforest a third of a rnillion acrcs," I\fcClellan said. "Nursery cstimates call for a production of more than 500 million seedlings for 1950, enotrgh trees to reforcst lralf a million acres.
"Assuming a twrl-thir<ls stlrvival rate, last year's scedling crop of 3ll0 nrillion trces u'ill in half il centtlry supply thc coutrtry's rvootl ncc<ls for it ,vear," McClellitn ad<led.
The country's top see<lling protlttcer was I-rluisian:r which turne<l out 53% million trees, 14 l)er cent of thc national ()utput.
"Outstanding as this 6gure is," said McClellan, "it is even more significant that industry<lwned nurseries con' tributed nearly as much to this Louisiana total as did state' owned nurseries." Louisiana has more nurseries than any other state.
Next 12 states in approximate order of 1949 seedling production were: South Carolina, 32 million ; Georgia, 27 million; F'lori<la, 25 million; Atabama, 2l million; Tennessec, 2l nrillion; Wisconsin, 21 million; Michigan, 2l rrrillion; New York, 20 million; Texas, l5 million; Washington, l0 million; Mississippi, 9 million; Nebraska, 8 nrillion.
Sitka sprtrce is named for Sitka, Alaska, where the Russians started cutting spruce lumber in 1804 and shipping it to the Spaniards and Mexicans in California'
White Fir trees are true firs. More than 90 per cent of Whitc Fir in the Western Pine Region is Abies amabalis, Abies concolor, Abies grandis or Abies magnifica'
White Fir lumber is non-resinous, fine textured and o<krrlcss s'hen dry.

40 Yecrrs Ago
The Fresno Bee of Saturday, April 15, in its column Fresno's Yesterdays-"4O Years Ago" carried the following advertisement:
"Wanted : nine black cats, must be fast black. Deliver to A. L. Hoover at Pierce Lumber Companv. Will pay 25 cents a caL"
J. C. "Doc" Snead of the C. S. Pierce Lumber Co., Fresno, who sent in the clipping says: "The A. L. Hoover mentioned is norv the famous A.L. 'Gus' lloover, Los Angeles wholesale lumberman."
Wonder what Gus wanted the black cats for? He must have been getting ready for a Hoo-Hoo Concat. Cats were sure going cheap in those days.
