"Take thee wings Or lose thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound Save his own dashings. Yet the dead are there."

-Bryant. *** Daniel Webster said that if a young man practice law too successfully he has to pay the penalty; they bring him harder cases. **rt Daniel, you will remember, was the second child of his father's second marriage. He delivered his greatest oration at the age of 48. It is worthy of record that from his first speech at the age of 18 until his last at the age of 7e he never failed in any public utterance to fire his hearers with

his love of country, and belief in its great future, and mission.

One of Webster's *r.*."a was a three-hour "f,"."n"" oration on religion, when he tried to break the will of Stephen Girard, who endowed Girard College, but made it a component part of the legacy that no clergyman should ever enter its doors. The audience was driven almost to distraction by the eloquence of Webster. But the facts were against him, and he lost the case.

Frequently in history the black night of barbarism seems threatening to engulf the world. But always the right has triumphed. As between God and anti-God we can take but one stand. We are taking that stand today.

Scientists have told us where we came from; preachers have told us where we are going; and we are not certain about either. But one thing we can be sure about is that we are HERE; so let's help and enjoy one another while we can.

Size and power have never been permanent. Look at the great prehistoric animals of the past, under whose tremendous bulk and power the earth once shook. Where are they now? Yet the tiny ants whom their great feet once crushed by the million as they walked the earth, are still with us, as.alive and busy as in prehistoric times. The mammoth, the mastodon, and the ichthyosaur are gone; but the ant remains.

Wood has always been a major material to help the wise men of the world in their efforts at pioneering. When steamboats first came into existence they could only operate in $raters with well wooded banks, because they used wood for making their steam. Fulton operated his steamer "Clermont" on the Hudson in 1807, but he had to have wood yards located every few miles where they could stop and take on fuel. About that time they discovered the fuel value of coal and in 1819 the impossible happened; the steamer "Savannah," burning coal, crossed the Atlantic from Savannah to London in 25 days. True, she burned 450 tons of coal on the trip, which was two-thirds of her entire carrying capacity. But her entire hold stored with wood would only have lasted a day or so. So the glory of wood for steamboating fuel soon passed, as far as long voyages were concerned, but remained in use on our rivers for generations. In our logging woods there are still plenty of logging engines fueled with wood.

Forest Campers Urged to Get Fire Permits San Francisco, May S-Recreation seekers who plan camping trips to the national forests of California and southwestern Nevada are urged by the U. S. Forest Service to obtain campfire permits. The permits, free of charge, are available from all forest supervisors and rangers. Other agencies authorized to issue the permits include offices of all automobile clubs in the State, the State Chamber of Commerce, and officials of the National Park Service, State Department of Natural Resources and county forestry departments. Special permits are required for camping in the Angeles, Cleveland, Lbs Padres and San Bernardino National Forests of southern California where fire danger is more severe. The usuat permit is issued for central and northern California forests. Regional Forester S. B. Show said he is especially anxious that out-of-State motorists and other visitors learn State and county forest fire regulations for their personal protection and the safeguard of public property. He anticipates a great increase in forest recreation travel by visitors to Army camps, in addition to the growing influx of See-the-West tourists. Last year more than 10,000,000 people visited the forests for outdoor recreation. Nearly half of these visitors were campers, picnickers, fishermen, hunters, snow sport fans, resort guests and summer home permittees.

Shingle Bureau Sponsors Nation-Wide Double-Coursing Drive A Nation-wide Double-Coursing Drive, patterned after the highly successful Red Cedar Shingle Over-Roofing Month which was carried out during 194O, is being sponsored this spring by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau. Pivotal figure in this campaign for sidewalls DoubleCoursed with cedar shingles is the retail lumber dealer, who is being offered a variety of sales helps and is being provided widespread consumer publicity. A large brochure, the center spread of which comprises an attractive window display hanger, is being mailed by the Bureau to dealers throughout the country. In addition, such helps as DoubleCoursing blueprints, one- and two-column newspaper mats, and mailing folders are offered. The blueprints, in particular, are proving very effective among the contractor-carpenter clientele of dealers, as they present a practical "howto-do-it" story. The entire campaign is being heralded by an advertising barrage directed at both prospective home owners and professional builders, such as contractors, carpenters and architects. Attractive four-color pages in American Home and Better Homes & Gardens magazines, with a combined circulation of over four millions, are devoted to DoubleCoursed sidewalls. In addition there are Double-Coursing messages in such powerful building trades magazines as Practical Builder, American Builder, Architectural Forum, American Lumberman, and others. According to W. W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, the current Double-Coursing campaign has been laid out as a sequel to National Over-Roofing Month and will provide great impetus to demands for new or remodeled Double-Coursed sidewalls' Mr. Woodbridge stated that the many favorable aspects of Double-Couising, and especially from the dealer's point of view the fact that it does not require special shingle stocks, will give it great popularity.

San Carlos Lumber Co. Has Growing Business

Pictured above is the attractive store and office building of San Carlos Lumber Company, on El Camino Real, San Carlos, Calif. James H. Martin, owner of this concern, started in the lumber business in San Carlos in 1V22. He built the

present yard five years ago and at that time believed he had more space than he would ever need. However San Carlos has had a steady growth and San Carlos Lumber Company is making full use of all its facilities to take care of the increased business. Redwood Rustic is used on the exterior of the building. Various types of composition roofing and asbestos shingles

are used on the roof. The three display windows are 4-foot by 6foot wide and 6-foot high. One of these is backed with Redwood paneling, another with Knotty Pine panels and the third with Douglas Fir panels. A full stock of builders hardware is carried. Nason and Pabco paints are stocked. Pabco and J-M roofings are handled.

There is ample parking space in front of the yard for customers' cars. Mr. Martin reports that business up to date this year is running about 20 per cent ahead of last year.

At Seattle, Washington, rvaterbound by lakes and Puget Sound, there has just been opened the nation's most pretentious public moorage establishment-Marina Mart Lake lJnion in the geographical center of the city. -on Owners of the establishment feel thev have hit the pulse of water-minded sportsmen of Seattle and adjacent cities and have constructed a one-stop station for yachtmen. In front of the 51 individual, covered stalls for boats up to 8O feet they have constructed a three-story building in which are sold all supplies and equipment needed for boating and water sports. Shops offer stock or custom built yachts, marine engines, hardware, sporting goods and groceries. A smart Sea Grill and lunch counter are housed in the building; naval architects have offices there. When planning the unusual development which includes

J. L. Locke, secretary of the Fisher-White-Henry Co., owners, explained that builders wanted a building of simple but attractive lines and with a nautical theme. For the outer surface of the building they used Exterior type, weatherproof plywood-the material that is being used more and more in the construction of both small and large pleasure crafts as well as in buildings. Window frames are of rope design and the oval moulding at joints of the 4 by B-foot plywood panels also was chosen to give an appearance of rope. The t/a-inch plywood was applied in conventional manner rvith edges knifed u'ith white lead and oil and the panels closely butted. Two coats of white exterior paint u'ere applied over a sealer. The 6&foot tou'er mounting a beacon. of course, is plywood covered. Sigmund Ivarsson, Seattle structural engineer employed as architect for the land-and-water development, designed the rather massive upright to harmonize rvith the wide front. The building is of frame construction with much of the interior of plaster. But in the Sea Grill, which overlooks the moorage, plyl'i.ood rvas called upon to do a special job. Design of the grill is that of the interior of a yacht's cabin. Plywood was used for booths and walls around the booths. To this was given a light stain (or bleached) finish with trim of red and blue. Plywood around the windows was glazed to simulate mahogany.

Will Attend Arizona Convention ag Ugual E. J. Stanton & Son, Los Angeles, has sent out a clever announcement to the Arizona trade advising that representatives will be at the Arizona annual convention at Flagstaff on May 23-24. The Stanton firm has never missed being represented at an Arizona convention, and this year LeRoy H. Stanton and Joe Tardy will be there. The upper half of the announcement is a map with large footprints showing the route they will take to the convention, the cities they will visit, and notations about the various lumber dealers. Below the map is the following greeting: Greetings-Lumber Jacks,This S anton outfit travels in mysterious ways - - - - the Arizona conventions to attend-but rain or shine-we ain't missed one yet. There is something besides business we get that draws us to the State of sunshine and cactus-green fields and snow-capped peaks maybe it is the pure, dry air----or perhaps the flowering desert, or the rugged mountains and magnificent distances, but we've got a hunch it's just the folks over there. Anyhoo - - - the reasons are all over this map why we have trodden that path for 50 years (Roy, f mean, I'm only nineteen). Yes siree-2500 miles a trip-8 trips a year and nary a saddle sore-sellin' all kinds of lumber-from hard (that's me) to soft (that's Roy)-pussy willow (that's me) to sugar pine (that's Roy)-no foolin'! Boys and girls-stick a little order in your pocket and C if U can get us away from the crap game long enuf to accept it. Try anyway-we'll B C-ing U.

Curtig Useg "Satisfted Custome Appeal "Ask the man who owns one" has been a pop\:/ automobile slogan for many years. It's still good se'', and an application of the slogan is being used building materials field by Curtis Companies I Clinton, fowa, manufacturers of Curtis Wood Curtis recently published a very i called "'What Home Owners Sav Abou 'Windows". In this are 122 letters from America and Canada. These letters tell what thd think of Silentite windows. (Curtis selected these from several thousand on file.) The booklet makes use of letters from 40 of the 48 states, and from Canada. Curtis now has available letters from all states and when the booklet is reprinted later on, it will be "All American". The letters are grouped by state. The booklet is 3fu x 8 inches in size and has 24 pages. Small outline color maps of the states are used for decorative effect. In talking about this little book, Curtis stated:

"We believe in testimonial advertising. The majority of people build only one home in a lifetime and this is generally the biggest individual purchase that Mr. and Mrs. America ever make. These homebuilders are vitally interested in what goes into their homes. They want to know what different products offer in the way of lasting satisfaction and what time and usage will do to their home. We are happy to ask home owners to express an opinion of our Silentite window and to pass on these opinions to other prospects. We know Silentite can back up all claims made for it and we let some of our satisfied customers become our boosters". 1941 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Curtis business-started in 1866 in Clinton, Iowa. This year Curtis introduced many new sales promotion helps to aid dealers promote sales of Silentite windows and other Curtis products.

"What Home Owners Say About Silentite Windowsi' makes interesting reading for lumber dealers, as well as for a prospective btdlder. 'Arryore'interested in securing a copy may get one upon request to Curtis Companies Service Bureau, Clinton, Iowa.

SHE AND THE LORD "Aunt Lucy," said the lady of the house. ,,you don,t mean to teJl me you've gone and got married again?"

Aunt Lucy said: "Yes I'm is, honey. De fo'th time, too. Looks lak jess as offen as de Lawd takes ,em - - - so does I."

A SMILE Nothing on earth can smile, but man. Gems may fash reflected light. But what is a diamond flash, compared with the flash of a lovely eye? Flowers cannot smile. This is a charm that even they, cannot claim. It is the prerogative of man. It is the light in the windows of the face by which the heart signals ttrat it is at home and waiting. A face that cannot smile is like a bud that cannot blossom, and so dries on the stalk. Laughter is day; sobriety is night; and a smile is the twilight that lingers between both, and more betwitching than either. NO BARGAINS There are no bargains on the counter sales of life. We think there are. But some unexpected day We find our purchase is a worn and shoddy thing, So, after all, in that long past, we pay. There are no bargains on the counter sales of life.

But time alone can teach us how to choose. Can show that what seemed loss was really gain, And where we buy for little, much we lose.

TAKING THE COUNT "Triplets," announced the nurse to the waiting father. "I can scarcely believe my own census," replied the father.

WORK The only worth while things that have come to us in this life have come through work that has always been hard, and often bitter. We believe that this has always been true of mankind and that it always will be true. We believe not in how little work, but how much; not in how few hours, but how many. America must not grow soft_J. Kindleberger.

A TOAD'S ODE A tree toad loved a she toad, That lived up in a tree. She was a 3-toed tree toad,

But a 2-toed toad was he. The 2-toed tree toad tried to win The she toad's friendly nod; For the 2-toed tree toad loved the ground The 3-toed tree toad trod. Vainly the Z-toed tree toad tried, He couldn't please her whim, In her tree-toad bower, with her V-toed power, The she toad vetoed him.

THE MODERN VIEWPOINT The little girl was busy reading a novel, when her whitehaired grandmother observed: "I hope, dear, that novel is quite nice.,' "Oh, very nice Grandma, but I don't think you'd like the way it ends, because it's very sad." "Ffo\p is that, dear?" asked Grandma. "\ilfell," said tfie young girl, "you see, she dies, and the poor fellow has to go back to his wife.', REGRETS There was a young girlie named Florence, Who for kissing professed great abhorrence, But once she'd been kissedAnd found what she'd missedShe cried till the tears came in torrents.

Build While Buildins is Good, Foundation Chairman Advises While lumber and other building materials prices maintained a practically level movement during March and the first week of April, prospective home builders are advised by Southern California Homes Foundation of rising emergency defense demands that may affect supply of materials in the next four months, a period'which William S. Knudsen has declared "might be crucial in the whole history of the world." "Latest estimates from the Office of Production Management for total military and merchant marine lumber requirements amount to 8,500,000,000 board feet, in contrast to 6,000,000,000 feet used for the same purposes in the World'War," states Orrie W. Hamilton, Foundation Chairman. "From 28to34 new Army cantonments are projected. 72,803 defense housing units have been allocated. 784 defense industry plants are in various stages of expansion. Shipyard building is being rushed, to complete the scheduled construction of 3,40O ships in the shortest possible time. A great number of these are wood ships, including 210 minesweepers recluiring Douglas fir keel timbers 106 feet in length. In all these and many other projects lumber is a 'must' material, and they represent tremendous demand for other materials. "The moral for the renting family is 'Build Now,' while materials are readily available and prices are good. The Labor Department's Index of Wholesale Prices for the week ending April 5 shows a rise of only 0.3 point in the previous month for building materials, while two other major necessities of everyday life rose 4.5 and 4.6 points in the same period. Lumber price decreased in the week ending April 5. This was in the face of the rapidly expanding defense demand coupled with normal spring increase in private building. The tens of thousands of local units of the U. S. building industry will continue to make every effort to maintain a level price movement and to supply low-cost housing, but this industry with others must give national defense priority."

BEAU'nntL o

ECONOMICf,L

The "Treasure" home pattern (List No. 4-1015) is offered by Southern California Homes Foundation this week as another in its series of minimum-cost home designs. These were created by the building industry to serve in the defense housing' program. The exterior charm and interior convenience of the Treasure home are visualized in the illustrated elevation and floor plan. Like others in the series, this pattern may be easily adapted by local retail lumber dealers to satisfy individual tastes and needs. A post-card request to Southern California Homes Foundation, 1348,.E" Street, San Diego, will bring "Two Anslver Books" on home building.

Sell Your Kitchens by the Package, too, but Sell a

Here is thE New Double Thick Bclsam-Wool on the left conpcred with

the old t".

Notice the three individucl rnoisture bcrriers in the Double Thiclr.

A new Balsam-Wool said to have greater efficiency, greater thickness and greater moisture protection than ever, has just been announced by the Wood Conversion Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota. This new product, available in "Standard" (formerlv f") and "Double Thick" (formerly l") in widths to fit l€' and 24' ftaming members, is now available {or immediate shipment. Although the thickness has been increased and other improvements have been made, there is no increase in price. P. A. Ward, vice president in charge of sales, said that the new Double Value Balsam-Wool has been designed to put the lumber dealer and the contractor back in the insulation business. "With this new product," he said, "it will be easy to demonstrate to the consumer the advantages and superior qualities of Double Value BalsamWool Insulation. The new material has greater eye appeal, has greater protection against moisture, greater thickness, greater efficiency and lvill be sold at the same price as formerly. Also, as ahvays, sold exclusively through lumber dealers." "This 'extra value' product is being currently announced in lumber dealer, architectural, contractor and building magazines. In addition, the normal schedules for the first six months in certain consumer magazines have been doubled. In these publications for the time being, copy will concentrate on the Double Value Balsam-Wool story." "This new development in Balsam-Wool is something we ha'r'e been working toward for years," said Mr. Ward, "it is not merely a matter of making the already highly efficient mat of Balsam-Wool thicker, but of combining in it new principles of heat and moisture control. For instance, the Double Thick blanket has three individual moisture barriers. The Standard blanket has two barriers. Each barrier is designed specifically to protect the individual thickness which each supports." C-omplete information on this new product together with literature and display material is available from company salesmen or directly from the Wood Conversion Company.

Jutting out of Brooklyn's shore like a blunt thumb is the breakwater at the foot of Columbia St. You cross the little bridge that connects it rvith the mainland and you're in a forest of Douglas fir and hemlock. Not a forest of trees, but of lumber. Piles as high as sixteen feet surround you. ft's the biggest lumber stofage terminal along the Atlantic Coast, according to its manager, Ira Garbutt, and will undoubtedly be of increasing importance as Uncle Sam's defense program expands. Some of the wood stored there recently has been used f'or building new barracks in' various Army camps. The storage space, officially known as Beards Erie Basin Breakwater Terminal, has been in use many years. The wood belongs to various lumber dealers throughout the metropolitan area. 14O Shiploads Yearly Lumber rrrilre. by boat from the West Coast, according to Garbutt, at the rate of about 1,10 ships a year delivering a total load of 160,000,000 net feet of lumber. Building activity in New York City and the vicinity is

quickly felt at this Brooklyn waterfront outpost, said Garbutt, who's been there twenty years. The past three years have seen bu.sier times, he revealed. It was three yeafs ago the terminal was expanded on to the mainland to

take in space along Columbia St.

Lumber All Marked Each lot of lumber carries its own rnark, painted on one end of the boards. This runs from numbers or letters to different symbols-like dots or lines-and difierent colored paints. One lot, for example, may have the board tips marked with black paint. Another has green paint. That mark also goes down on the records to help locate

the wood-when the owner wants it.

The system making the tall piles possible begins in the ship's hold, Garbutt said. Stevedores place the wood in drafts, each draft about four feet square. The ship's gear picks it up and sets it on the dock. Carriers speed it over to its storage space. Derricks lift the drafts, one on top of the other. Part of the trick in achieving stability in the piles is the use of

cross boards. The lumber ranges from six feet to twenty feet in length. Timber, for heavy construction, runs from sixteen feet to

forty feet. Besides city water hydrants, the wind-swept terminal maintains small carts for fighting fires with chemicals. But Garbutt doesn't regard the fire hazard. as serious. One reason for that confidenca, he said, is that most of the wood is green lumber.

The Car Situation Following is copy

of the 'Western Letter of May 5,

1941, by Roy A. Dailey of Seattle, Wash., Western mana-

ger of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, fnc., on the car situation, which was sent out to its members:

"The Car Situation: With the National Defense Program stepping along a little swiftei every day-and increasing demands for faster service being made on the railroads, the time has come for all good lumbermen to cooperate in every possible way to avoid a shortage of freight cars in the months ahead. "For their part, the carriers are doing a splendid job in coordinating their efforts to secure the highest efficiency in the use of freight cars; heavier loadings, faster train schedules, elimination of car use for storage purposes, building new equipment and repairing bad order cars. They are entitled to all the assistance shippers can give them. "A recent check by the 'Association of American Railroads' which is watching the situation very carefully and devising ways and means to speed up the car movementindicates that 35 cars were delayed an average of 33 days at Gerber, California, awaiting diversion. There were examples of cars delayed as long as 73 days. Checks are being made at other important diversion points. "As the carriers have authority to embargo the use of freight cars for shippers responsible for unreasonable delays, we think it is timely to issue this warning to avoid criticism and the enforcement of restrictive embargoes. The boom could be lowered on chronic offenders. "During April the total average car loadings in the U.S.A. were around 790,000 cars per week, and the experts tell us there is no occasion to get worried until this figure reaches about 850,000 to 900,000. Nevertheless, we hear of current shortages of certain equipment like 50 ft. box cars, and the l94l car movement is still far from the peak it is expected to reach in the summer and fall months. A lot of things could happen quickly to accelerate this movement. "About 1,200,000,000 ft. of western lumber was shipped by water to Atlantic Coast and Gulf ports during 1940. This is about 45,000 carloads-nearly 90O a week and would take a fleet of approximately 25,000 freight cars to handleon the turn-around. In addition, consider the vast amount of general cargo east and west bound via the Panama Canal; and add Coastwise cargo shipments of all kinds. Figured in carloads this runs up to astounding figures. "Nobody knows how much more fntercoastal and Coastwise tonnage will eventually be diverted to other more vitally important routes, but we know what the trend is, and what the pooling of British-American shipping has for its main objectives,-so perhaps it is not beyond the realm of reason to assume that we might-some of these days-again be assiduously "cultivating" freight conductors for the pur-

FHA Applications in Southern California H:t Peak in April Expansion of defense industries employment and payrolls, and passage of the "defense housing insurance" bill, known as Title 6 of the National Housing Act, are reflected in the enlarged volume of Federal Housing Administration insured mortgage business transacted during April in the Southern California district, as announced today by Capt. Wilson G. Bingham, district director. Last month established a new, all-time peak in volume of applications for insurance of home mortgages received by the local olfice totaling 3735 and valued at $15,362,650, increasing 2l per cent in number and 14 per cent in valuation over the previous monthly peak rvhich was in March 1939.

Included in the April figure were 2531 Title 2 applications for mortgages valued at $10,830,600 calling for the construction of new homes under FHA inspection, exceeding by 6 per cent in number and dollar amount the applications received in the previous peak of monthly new construction applications under Title 2, which was in March, 1941. Of .the 3735 April cases, 762 applications for new home mortgages valued at $2,615,00O under Title 6 and 37 cases for $92,000 under Title I. The remainder called for the refinancing of existing liens or purchase-money mortgages on homes already built, which numbered 405, with a value of $1,825,9@. Captain Bingham said that 175 of. the Title 6 applications, valued at $653,000, covered homes for which the FHA had previously issued conditional commitments to operative builders-homes u;hich had been built for sale, but for which no purchasers had been found.

NUTTER LUMBER COMPANY EXPANDS The Nutter Lumber Company, Pomona, is expanding its yard and will add new lumber sheds. Under plans calling for construction of the new sheds and arrangement in the yards, the lumber piling space will be doubled. J. Fred Nutter is head of the Nutter Lumber Company. pose of having a 50 ft. flat set in at Mulch Creek to load a rush order-as in the olde days. Things are moving mighty fast these perilous times.

"All of which leads up to the hope National-American

members will make a sincere effort to see that the cars in which their orders move are properly specified, loaded to 'We urge this now because capacity, speeded to destination.

the proper time and place-we should like to be in a

-at position to prove that the members of this organization have cooperated whole-heartedly with the National effort

to conserve the freight car supply. Just looking ahead a bit."
