The challenge of a war of productive skills hag been met by America with the kind of resourcefulnese shown in the adoption of the Teco Connector Syetem of Wood Construction. Arnerics is engineering uith toood orrr a trernendous ecale.

Enorrnoue quantities of steel are being releaeed for the rnarrrfscture of armaments by the use of the Teco Connector in wood construction in building lofty and grace- ful wood towers, big and small factories, bridges, dry docks, hangars, arrrry chapels, pre-fabricated homes and cornmercial structurea of all types. One pound of Teco Connectors releases llr/zto 12 pounds of eteel, and 2fi) of thern release enough eteel to rnake approxirnately 50 heavy machine guns.

The architect, engineer and contractor are provided with a greatly expanded opportunity for service during the war ernergency and in the future by the Teco C.onnector System of Wood Construction. The utilizati on of ffi fi to IOO fi of the strength of wood at jointa is made possible by the Teco Connector. It distributes the bearing area over the entire width of the board . . giving stronger' more rigid joints with less rrraterial.

\fPB Frcezes Sale of Softwood Construction Lumber at Mills

Washington, May 13.-The War production Board today applied a 60-day f.reeze to all sales and deliveries of softwood construction lumber by large producers, except to fill orders of the Army, Navy and Maritime Commission.

The order, effective immediately, halts producers' sales of about 70 per cent of the country,s softwood lumber output, but does not affect stocks in retail yards which are estimated to be sufficient to supply defense housing and essential civilian needs during the 60-day period.

Free to move in customary trade channels are all hardwood lumbers, and softwood factory, shop and box lumber.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in April (5 weeks) was 172,83,000 board feet, or 94.3 per cent of estimated capacity, according to the West Coast Lumber. men's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 237,698,m board feet ; shipm ents, N2,4Zg,000. Weekly averages for March were: production, 170,487,W board feet (86.6 per cent of the 1926-l9D average) ; orders, 189,213,000; shipments, 185,590,000.

17 weeks of 1942, cumulative production, Z,g3g,Z3l,mO board feet; 17 weeks 194I,-2,852,372,00O; 17 weeks, 1940, --2,228,462pm.

Orders f.or 17 weeks of. 1942 break down as follows : rail, 2,592Jm,W board feet domestic cargo, 322,588,000; export,

41,835,000 ; local, 417,D9pffi

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 1,0D,I24,m board feet at the end of April; gross stocks, at 874,884,000.

The West Coast lumber industry has now become a 100 per cent war industry. The War Production Board has asked all employers and employees to go on full-time production of logs and lumber until the emergency in supplying military requirements has been passed. Government purchases are crowding the mills faster than they are able to increase production, and undoubtedly some action will be taken by WPB to block movement of lumber into other channels than National defense. The industry's job for the next several months will be to produce, to full capacity, the lumber required for war purposes.

Manufacturers of plywood have been notified by the War Production Board that restrictions may be placed on use of the product for non-essential building.

The Government bought approximately 175,000,000 feet of lumber at an auction held in Portland, May 5 to 9. The auction was in charge of W. P. Headrick.

Lumber production during the week ended April25,1942, was 3 per cent greater than the previous week, shipments

SEtL PNIGO REDWOOD lor GRNIN STORAGE

An acute sack shortage for bulk storage of grain and produce has opened the door for immediate sales of Redwood to California farmers. A legitimate war' time need . . . there are no restrictions on Redwood. Ask your Palco salesman or write for complete information about free plans.

Ilave you forgotten this one? Spring has came, Winter has went, It.was not did by accident; The birds have flew As you have saw, And spring has came To Arkansas. ***

And here is one worth repeating: ft doesn't do a bit of harm

To grin.

ft never causes much alarm

To smile.

Men have been known to laugh Yet win, With cheerfulness to do their tasks The while.

So, if you like your job

As you pursue it; And feel like smiling, why, my boy Go to it.

:k :k

And here is a little thought worth while: Look forward-not back. Look upward-not down. Have faith in your countryAnd lend a hand.

*!F:f

The injunctions we hear and read so frequently lately against indulgence in idle talk and the repeating of war rumors, remind us of what one Alexander Pope wrote long ago, as follows:

"The flying rumors gathered as they rolled, Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told, And all who told it, added something new, And all who heard it, made enlargements, too."

Ilere is a sentiment that will appeal: There's lots of us old fellows, Too old to go and fight, No sons to represent us, And battle for the right. But we can give our money, As we never did before, And love-and hope-and courageTo the boy next door. ***

Robert E. Lee once said: "We can, with calm satisfaction, trust in God, and leave results to Him."

**d.

Abe Lincoln said, during one of the darkest days of the Civil War: "A firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land, is still competent to adjust, in the best way, our present difficulties."

And Lincoln also said, in writing to a mother who had lost her sons in the war: "I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming."

*:t*

And Lincoln often said, during the dark days he went through that if he couldn't crack an occasional joke, or tell a humorous story or listen to one, he could never get by with his burdens. Truly, a practical prayer for these times would be: "Oh, Lord, give us all a sense of humor for these tragic times. HeIp us to meet every problem smilingly. F'or a sense of humor is the front and rear bumper as well as the shock-absorbers on the motor car of life. Without it, in such times as these, we would shake to pieces." rF * tN.

I remember writing in this column in the summer of 1938 these words: "ft looks as though the four horrid Horsemen of the Apocalypse urere saddling their horses to ride again." What a masterpiece of understatement that turned

out to be ! For again the earth and all the oceans as well are being swept with fire and deluged with blood and tears. The Four florsernen ride as they never rode before in all history, for this time they ride-not only over the roads and the waves-but they ride the very winds of heaven, scattering destructiorl and chaos as they go.

**:fi

They used to laugh at the story of the two old hansom cab drivers in New York who refused to be terrified by the invasion of the gasoline taxis and motor cars, and stuck to their stations at the Hotel Plaza, horses and all. They said they were wqiting for the fad of the motor cab to pass. And the world laughed at their conceit. You can well imagine those two old men today, laughing up their sleeves as they quote that famous question: "Who's loony now?"

What a world or n"roJ" Jtti"**"a war is already producing ! Men whose exploits thrill our very souls. Already there have been indelibly inscribed on the pages of history the names of American soldiers who have sought and found immortality in the defense of their native land; men who might have "carried the eagles of Napoleon over the Bridge of Lodi, or led the Charge of the Light Brigade."

LIBERTY : Socrates "lru,* ,rr* u.fending himself before his judges: "During my life I have not sought ambition, wealth. I have not sought to adorn my body, but I have endeavored to adorn my soul with the jewels of patience and justice, and above all with the love of LIBERTY."

Appointed Sales Manager

R. T. (Bob) Evju is now associated with James L. Hall, wholesale lumber dealer, San Francisco, as sales manag'er. Mr. Evju is a Forestry graduate of the University of California, class of 1937. He specialized in wood technology and utilization.

After leaving college he worked in the sawmill of McCloud Lumber Company, McCloud, Calif., for a while, and gained some logging experience in Mendocino County. He then worked for White Brothers, wholesale hardwood dealers, San Francisco, for three and a half years, and for the past 18 months was with Carter Lumber Company, Oakland.

Here" a Good ldea

In a recent bulletin of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, Bernard B. Barber, secretary, notified members that the Association is going to keep a "try and find it" department. The item said "If you have a surplus of some item let this office know and maybe you can arrange a trade with the other fellow's surplus. Last week dealers traded barbed wire and nails. This will help and your Association office rvill try to assist any member find whatever he is looking for in building materials."

The office of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California is at 1833 Broadway, Fresno.

WPB Asks lncreased Production of Softwood Construction Lumber

Washington, D. C., May 6, l94Z-Following is a copy of a telegram sent late last night by M. L. Fleishel, chairman, Lumber and 'Iimber Products War Committee, to Associations representing loggers, manufacturers and distributors of lumber:

Senate Passes FHA Tide Vl Legislation

The Senate passed the new FHA Title VI legislation on May 7 which increases the aggregate amounts of mortgages which may be insured by the government from $300,000,000 to $800,000,000. The bill now goes back to the House of Representatives for conference on minor changes made by the Senate.

The new legislation provides for raising the maximum insurable loan from $4000 to $5400, and increases the time for which mortgages may be insured from 2O to 25 years.

The authorized limit for insurance of mortgages under Title VI was set by law at $300,000,000 which amount is obligated in commitments for insurance. The new legislation is necessary before Title VI can again be operative. It is expected that the passage of the legislation will great. ly expand the private construction of defense homes.

Recommendation in Regard to Maintenance of the Nation's Farm Production Plant

At a meeting of the executive committee of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, held at the Drake Hotel in Chicago jointly with the Secretaries on April 20-21, a Recommendation was made and unanimously agreed to in respect to the retail lumber dealers ability to maintain sufficient inventory of building materials to adequately serve the needs of the farmer in 1942. A copy of the Recommendation follows:

"With the full realization of our patriotic duty toward the Nation's War Program and the necessity for nationwide conservation of all materials and labor:

"The Retail Lumber Industry is now contributing a substantial proportion of its stocks of building materials to the emergency war program.

"An integral part of the contribution of this industry to the war program is the continuance of the retail lumber dealers' normal function of supplying the needs of the American farmer in providing the materials necessary to the upkeep and enlargement of the nation's farm production plant.

"There must be an assured flow of necessary building materials to the retail lumber dealer who services the

urge you and through you all logging and sawmill operators and lumber industry employees throughout the United States immediately to inaugurate a full program of maximum production of all species of softwood lumber in common board, dimension and structural timber sizes and grades. The situation is so critical that I ask your immediate cooperation and action.

Donald M. Nelson, War Production Board"

needs of the farmer or the nation's food production program will be impaired.

"We recommend that the War Production Board recognize the farm needs in the above respect as war needs.

"That the War Production Board take such steps as are necessary to assure a reasonable flow of building materials essential to these purposes.

"We further recommend that the War Production Board instruct the various industry divisions concerned that, they take such steps as are necessary to make available an adequate supply of such materials as are needed for the fulfillment of the needs of agriculture."

It's the Mode and the Manner That Counts

BY JACK DIONNE

Thirty dcrys cgo in this depcrtment I wrote on the subiecl oI "Men With Long Memories" And one oI my lrlends grcrsped the thought frour recrding thct editoricl that I wcs wcming men who crllow the present drcrstic lumber situqtion to mcrke them whcrt we ccll "uppity" crgcrinst possible repriscls in the dcrys to come.

Which in retrlity wcs c thought loreigm to my mentcrl crttitude in typing thct piece. As cr urctter of fttct whcrt I hcd right in the lront of my rrind wcrs the text I took iust cr lew dcrys cgo in mcking c business tcrlk, which text wcs: "Il you see cr lriend slipping cwcy lrom you, drop everything you cre doing crnd run crnd bring him bcclc becquse c lriend is one of the lew things in this world thcrt nobody ccn crfford to lose."

It hcs clwcrys been the purpoEe cnd prcrctice oI this iourncl to try cnd encourcge, cement, ctnd foster the lriendlieEt oI relctions between crll depcrrtmentg crnd brcnches oI the Iumber industry, leeling thct lumber hcs clwcrys hcrd enough troubles from without, crnd ccn ill qfford intemcl strile. To mqke ihe lumber lrcternity one big happy lcmily hcs been clwcys our editoricl policy.

And in these tirnes thct "try men's souls," it is doubly inportcrnt thcrt the wise men ol the industry strive lor beiter understanding cnd more tolercrnce cnd helpfulness within the industry itseU. For you knowIt isn't so much whcrt you do or scrl', As the WAY in which you do or scy it' For whai would the egg curount to, prcy, II the hen got up on the roost to lcry it.

I lrrow the problems oI the lumber mcnufccturer todcry; problems such cs he not only never encountered before, but never even &ecrmed of before. Likewise the dealer, qnd the wholesaler. All of them crre fcrirly overwhelrned with the enormity oI the things the wqr hcrs creqted with regcrd to this industry To ccll these trying times is cr mcrsterpiece oI understatement. But the difficulties thcrt surround us, mcke it qll the more vitcrl thct eqch lumbermcn strive with cll of the best that is in him to understcnd the situation" to cpprecicte thi fix the other lellow is in" cmd to meet thcrt other fellow in lriendly cnd understcrnding lcshion crs the swilt currenls sweep cround us.

Ncrturcrlly cnrd undoubtedly it is the duty oI the manulqcturers of lumber to deliver to the Governrnent every loot ol their product the Government wcrnts, and that without regcrd to the needs ol crnyone else. Nothing else counts but the Govemment needs in the winning oI this wqr. And I think every squcre shooting decrler leels the scme urcy cbout it. I hcve never heard c whisper otherwise.

But there is a wise w<ry crnd crn unwise wcy to do everything. I hcrve crlwcys lound thct when right-thinldng rnen meet it is seldom difficult to crrive ct cr proper understcnding. We ccn hccrdle the problems oI these times without memories thct rankle or accrrs thct throb, iI we all go ct it right. The millmcrn" lhe decrler, the wholescler-eqch hcs his serious problems. Yet I believe thcrt the present grect difficulties can in the mqin be surmounted without the loss ol lriendly leeling, if cll sides put their ccrds fcrirly on the tcble, look the other lellows squcrely in the eye, crnd seelc to replcrce c spirit of criticism with one oI helplulness.

The cvercrge lumbermqn who has been hecrd to "gripe" cbout business recently, is not necrrly so cnnoyed cbout WHAT the other lellow did or did not do qs he wcrs.crbout the WAY in which it was done. "Alwcys lecve them lcughing when you scy goodbye," wrote George M. Cohcn. Thct's cr mighty good piece oI crdvice to lumbermen right now.

Retail Lumber Price Ceiling Meeting at Los Angeles

Arthur Larson, chief counsel of the legal division of the Office of Price Administration, discussed the retail lumber price ceiling at a meeting of Southern California lumbermen at the Embassy Auditorium, Los Angeles, Thursday afternoon, May 7. Over two hundred attended.

Speaking of what lies behind the Regulation, he said, prices have increased so rapidly that it tvas necessary to put a blanket on everything, and that this was only a part of a comprehensive plan to stop inflation.

He outlined how to go about finding the ceiling prices on commodities. The seller's maximum price for any commodity or service will be the highest price charged for the same commodity or service during March 1942. If he finds that he did not handle the same article, find the price on a similar article that was sold in March. If no similar article was sold that month, try and find out who did sell the same product in your neighborhood. In the event that neither the seller nor his competitor sold the product in March, the maximum price will then be determined by the following procedures: Select from the same general classification and price range as the commodity being priced, the comparable commodity for which a maximum price is established and of which the seller delivered the largest number of units during March; divide the maximum price for that commodity by the replacement cost of the commodity, and multiply the percentage so obtained by the cost to him of the commodity being priced, and the resulting figure shall be the maximum price of the commodity being priced. The price so reported may be subject to adjustment at any time by the Office of Price Administration.

Referring to line yards, he said, that every yard is a separate seller and must use their own books for maximum prices.

He asked that all existing records relating to prices charged for commodities or services delivered or supplied during March 1942, and offering prices for delivery or supply of such commodities or services during that month, be preserved; and to prepare, on or before July I, 1942, on the

basis of all available information and records, and thereafter keep for examination by any person during ordinary working hours, a statement showing: the highest prices which were charged for such of these commodities or services as were delivered or supplied during March, 1942 and his offering prices for delivery or supply of such commodities or services during such month, together with an appropriate description or identification of each such commodity or service, and all the customary allowances, discounts and other price differentials.

The Regulation requires, he continued, that current records of maximum prices be kept, records of the same kind as was formerly kept, and in addition, records showing, as precisely as possible, the basis upon which the maximum prices were determined for those commodities or services.

On cost-of-living commodities, Mr. Larson declared, the maximum price may be marked on the commodity itself or on the shelf, bin, rack or other holder or container upon or in which the commodity is kept, or it may be posted at the place in the business establishment where the commodity is offered for sale.

That every person selling at wholesale or retail any commodity or service for which a maximum price is established by the Regulation or by any other price regulation issued on or prior to April 28, 1942, by the Office of Price Administration is by the Regulation granted a license as a condition of selling and such commodity or service.

Referring to violations of the Regulation, he said, it had plenty of teeth. Persons violating any provision of the Regulation are subject to criminal penalties, civil enforcement actions and suits, and proceedings for the suspension of licenses.

Further that any seller at retail who finds the maximum price of the commodity or service established for him under the Regulation is abnormally low in relation to the maximum price of the same or similar commodities or services established for other sellers at retail, may file an application for adjustment of that maximum price in ac-

cordance with procedural regulations issued by the Office of Price Admnistration.

He stated that there would probably be one retail ceiling price similar to the sawmill price lists which will be applicable to the various sections of the country but it will probably be some weeks before the Office of Price Administration is ready to issue such a list.

As to the administration of the Regulation, he suggested that the lumber retailers deal with the nearest Office of Price Administration office.

Referring to the future and what might happen if the price has gone up since March, he remarked, that Canada shows that this can be handled. The solution to the problem, he said, is not to raise prices as there will be no more price increases during the duration.

As to what is going to happen to the retail lumber dealer, he stated, that there was a critical shortage of lumber all over the country, more production was needed, and things are going to get worse before they get better.

At the conclusion of his talk, he answered questions that were asked him by a number of the dealers.

Harry E. Whittemore, president of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association presided.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

Did it ever occur to you that man's life is full of excitement and temptation? He comes into this world without his consent and goes out of it against his will, and the trip between is exceedingly rocky.

When he is little the big girls kiss him, and when he is big the little girls kiss him.

If he is rich, he is dishonest.

If he needs credit, he can't get it.

If he is prosperous and doesn't need credit, everyone wants to credit him,

If he is in politics, it is for graft.

If he takes no interest in politics, he is no good to his country.

If he does not give to charity, he is mean and a tightwad.

If he does give to charity, it's for show.

If he is actively religious, he is a hypocrite.

If he takes no interest, he is a hardened sinner.

If he gives affection, he is a softie.

If he does not, he is a cold-blooded fish.

If he dies young, there was a great future in store for him.

If he dies old, he missed his calling.

If he saves money, he is a miser.

If he spends it, he is a lbafer.

If he doesn't get it, he is a bum.

HE KNEW HIS STUFF TOO

The lady journafist and author had just been introduced to the Hollywood movie magnate, and wanted to make a hit with him by discussing literature cleverly, so she said:

"You know, Mr. Goldberg, I just love Keats."

"Dot's fine," he said. "I'm alvays gled to meet a young lady vot lofs children."

NOT THROUGH THE NOSE

"Young man," said the old lady to the grocery clerk, "how do you sell your Limburger cheese?"

"Madam," replied the clerk, "f sometimes wonder about that, myself."

A CIRCLE OF SMILES

My father smiled this morning, When he came down stairs, you see At Mother; and when he smiled, then She turned and smiled at me; And when she smiled at me, I went And smiled at Mary Ann, Out in the kitchen; and she lent it To the baker's man.

So then he smiled at someone whom fle saw when going by, Who also smiled and ere he knew Had twinkles in his eye. So he went to his office then, And smiled right at his clerk, Who put some more ink on his pen, And smiled back from his work.

And when this clerk went home, he smiled Right at his wife, and she Smiled over at their little child, As happy as could be. And then the little girlie took The smile to school, and when She smiled at teacher from her book, She smiled right back again.

And then the teacher passed one on To little Jim McBride, Who couldn't get his lessons done, No matter how he tried.

And Jimmie took it home and told How teacher smiled at him, When he was tired; and didn't scold, But said "Don't worry, Jim."

And when I happened to be there That very night, to play, Jim's mother had a smile to spare; Which came along my way. And then I took it for a while, Back home, and mother said, "Here is that very selfsame smile, Came home with us to bed."

Attic Remodeling

The story rvhich should be told to the public is contained in a Celotex advertisement now appearing in the May issues of the four nraj,rr magazinesBetter I{omes & Gardens, Arnerican Horne, llouse Beautiful and Parents' Magazine. It's an advertisernent for attic remodeling, and the headline is calculated to brush all confusion from the home orvner's mind .n'ith eight simpls 1y61d5-r'Here's the Room You Thought You Couldn't Have !"

Of course, it's a room the home owner can have. What's more, it's the type of remodeling that has the active support of government agencies, points out Marvin Greenwood, Celotex general sales manager, because it's designed as extra living quarters and because its insulating qualities assure the extra fuel conservation called for by the war program. Also, its construction falls well within the.$500 limitation imposed by WPB, in most cases leaving enough over for some other desirable repair or maintenance job, says Mr. Greenwood.

Because this is the type of job likely to provide much of the dealer and contractor's bread and butter during the coming months, Celotex is prepared to supply all dealers with. illustrated mats of the room for both advertising and publicity in their local newspapers, announces Mr. Green'ivood. These ads can include the price of materials for a room of definite size, or the cost of doing the entire job. Price advertising like this ,vvill materially increase the effectiveness of the advertisement, Mr. Greenwood believes.

The room illustrated in the advertisement is economical and has been carefully planned to fit the needs of the moment, and to retain its attractiveness when days of

Also available to dealers who rvish to use this advertising locally is a printed "resips" describing exactly how the room is built and furnished.

The economy of the room is proved by the low cost of materials required for its construction. The insulation and hard board products used cost only $79.60 retail.

Anti-Sabotage Closures Will Affect Fishermen

San Francisco, April Z7-Trcut fishermen were reminded today by Regional Forester S. B. Show that it will be impossible to use some of the fishing rvaters in national forests due to public-use restrictions put into effect by the War Department and the Department of Agriculture.

"As a general rule," Mr. Show stated at Forest Service headquarters here, "fishermen should bear in mind that most railroad rights-of-rvay and structures and the viciniiy of virtually all public utilities are closed to entry and use."

Closed areas for public utilities u'ere described as distances ranging from 300 feet to one mile around power houses, dams, penstocks, forebays, tunnels, canals, ditches, flumes and all other hydroelectric power structures. Many irrigation systems are included in prohibited areas.

"Roads and trails in such areas are posted and in many cases are patrolled by armed guards," the Regional Forester continued. "When in doubt, fishermen should contact the nearest forest officer for information."

Strictly military closures have been ordered by Lt. General John L. DeWitt, Commander of the Fourth Army and additional closures have been put into ef{ect by the Secretary of Agriculture in the protection of many public utilities and strategic watersheds.

Regional Forester Show stated that trout fishermen should feel no apprehension about being confronted witl-r national forest fire protection closures before June 1.

Prior to that time, Forest Service supervisors will make announcements locally of restrictions that may be put into effect for the summer. Unless the fire season is extremely dangerous, foiest officers believe fishermen will not be greatly restricted in their quest for trout.

Compilation of Typical Timber Designs Ofrercd Architects and Engineers

Typical Designs of Timber Structures has just been published by Timber Engineering Company as a service to architects and engineers to aid them in the solution of timber designing problems. In no sense a "plan service," this reference work is intended to be a permanent addition to their technical libraries.

The 11 x l7-inch compilation presents 48 detailed drawings selected by the Teco Engineering staff from the collection of several hundred designed in the course of practical work on actual timber engineering problems.

These typical plans cover 14 different types of timber design such as trussed rafters for housing projects, trusses for hangars, factories, and markets; grandstands, distillery racks, bridges and towers. Each group is introduced by a photograph of an actual structure in which that type of design was employed and an explanation of its use.

In the back of the book are "Handy Tables for Use in Timber Design," taken from the National Lumber Manufacturers Association publication, Wood Structural Design Data.

LooseJeaf binding permits any of the pages to be removed for more convenient use, and easy insertion in the proper places of additions which will be distributed from time to time.

Each copy is numbered and contains a return postcard bearing a duplicate number. By returning the postcard, the holder automatically places himself on the mailing list to receive supplements to the book as they are published. Typical Designs of Timber Structures has already been distributed to some 3,300 architects, 2,250 engineers, and 341 university professors.

Remake Your Home for \(/artime Living, Foundation Chairmen $uggest

War clouds cast their shadows in many directions, and on the home front Mr. and Mrs. America are readjusting their way of living, with a greater appreciation than ever of family solidarity. Not where to go for amusement but how to increase pleasure in home living, is today's family problem, according to the Northern and Southern California Homes Foundations. Not what can be afforded, but what may be bought, is the limit set on improving the home background for living.

"What may be bought has been decided by the War Production Board. Every family should know what the limitations on new home building, on repair, on maintenance, and on remodeling, mean to them," state Bernard B. Barber and Orrie W. Hamilton, chairmen of the Foundations. "In defense areas, priorities may be obtained for building new homes, with certain limits on costs and use. In all areas, necessary repairs and maintenance are unlimited.

"For those who want to better their present living conditions, and are unable to obtain a priority for a new home, remodeling is the logical answer. An attic finished to make an additional bedroom ; a game or rumpus room in the basement, cupboards and closets and built-ins; a great many other home improvements may be made, well within the five hundred dollar limit. And if the whole family shares the labor of the remodeling job, so that a bigger percentage of 'the limited investment can go into necessary materials, more extensive alterations are still possible."

New Folder on Wood Grain Bin Designs

Burlap bags have become an essential war material, and as such have a very limited civilian use. In many areas, particularly in the West, where surplus grains have customarily been sacked and stored on the farm, this has presented a serious problem.

The new folder "Better Grain Storage with Wood Bins of Douglas Fir," just published by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, is therefore particularly timely and will be welcomed by lumber dealers in all rural communities.

The folder contains marked photographs and diagrams, of sufficient detail to be used as a guide in construction without additional blueprints. The bills of material for each design are given-any of them may be constructed at a cost within the $1,000 limit of the recent War Production Board Building Order L-41.

The AAA, in encouraging farm storage, has offered 7 cents per bushel lor 1942 and 6 cents for the following years, provided that grains are "satisfactorily stored on the farm." The grain bins illustrated in the Association's new folder will all meet the requirements of the AAA for "satisfactory storage."

Published as a sales help to the retail lumber dealer and a guide to the farmer, "Better Grain Storage with Wood Bins of Douglas Fir" may be obtained without charge on request to the West Coast Lumbermen's Asso. ciation, 364 Stuart Building, Seattle.

M. C. Neel Appointed Chief Navy's First Experimental Plastic-Plywood Plane Delivered of Rilco Engineering Staff

Appointment of Merville C. Neel as chief of the engineering staff of Rilco Laminated Products, Inc., was announced this week by Walter S. Rosenberry, Jr., president of the company. Mr. Neel, associate member of A. S. C. E., recently resigned his position a s structural engineer of the Wisconsin Industrial Commission to accept the position and will make his headquarters in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Advances in timber engineering and the rapidly expanding use of glued laminated construct io n have placed wood in the foreground as a structural engineering material. Rilco Laminated Products, Inc., one of the group of Weyerhaeuser companies, has pioneered in this field for the past several years during which time it has been gradually expanding its production facilities on a national basis. In its several plants, located at strategic points, it is now fabricating glued laminated wood arches, beams and roof trusses suitable for almost any type of urban-commbrcial structure, Army and Navy construction, and farm buildings.

Mr. Neel is well known for his work in Wisconsin'where he served for seven years as structural engineer for the state architect and for eight years in the same capacity on the Industrial Commission. After obtaining his degree at the University of Wisconsin he spent two years on bridge design and construction and four years on gas and water utility design and construction at Omaha, Nebraska. His experience covers structural as well as other features of buildings of various types and occupancies.

In announcing Mr. Neel's appointment, Mr. Rosenberry called attention to the important part that engineering is playing in timber construction with the result that it is now possible to erect buildings at lower costs and in less time through the use of glued-up laminated structural

Delivery of the first experimental plastic-plywood training plane to be ordered by the Navy, a low-winged monoplane model built by Timm Aircraft Corporation of Los Angeles, has been announced by the Navy Department.

The new plane, 90 per cent wood and plastic glue, will now undergo flight and destruction tests at the Naval Air Station, Anacostia. If the final tests prove successful, and the plane is found airworthy, the sleek, yellow, "Aeromold" model may be one of several types to be put into mass production to provide training ships for Naval air cadets.

Proponents of plastic-plywood declare that modern science has produced in the new material a substance stronger than steel. They point out that plastic glue, which impregnates the wood, prevents warping and buckling; that plastic construction does not necessitate riveting or over-lapping of plates, thus reducing air "drag"; that plywood surface i's highly resistant to oil, water, and fire; that bullets striking plywood make clean holes, instead of "flowering," as they do when striking metal; that repairs can be made quickly and efficiently.

Advocates of plastic-plywood aircraft also report that production of planes constructed of less than 10 per cent metal will alleviate shortages of aluminum, magnesium and other essential materials. Further, they point out that carpenters, cabinet makers, and other types of woodworkers may be employed in the construction of the new planethus providing another source of aircraft labor.

Although American plane-builders turned from wood construction to metal around 1930, plywood has not been entirely abandoned in Europe. The British, the Italians, and the Russians are reported to be using planes of wooden construction. In addition, many American-made planes have bomb doors, seats, nose nacelles, and ailerons made of plywood.

members. Furthermore, such structures meet the most demanding tests for strength, durability and fire resistance. "That is why we are giving major consideration to the subject of engineering in our plans for expansion," he said. "The talent that will be made available to builders in connection with their construction problems will be the best we can obtain."

It is understood that sites for additional fabricating plants are now being investigated and that the company will soon announce the opening of service offices in several key cities in different sections of the country.

Baseball Fences Without Peepholes on the \(/.y

Portland, Orego,n, April 30-Experiments under way at the Western Pine Association Research Laboratory here may destroy one prerogative of the American small boy-the joy of watching ball games through knot holes.

Laboratory technicians are doing their best to find a means of gluing knots into lumber so tightly that they won't drop out some day to provide peepholes in the fences of the nation's ballgarks. Laboratory Dirbctor Albert llermann believes he will succeed.

Certain types of casein glue and others of urea-formaldehyde glue show great promise as knot holders. In fact, one lumber company is already stabilizing its knots to improve its lumber.

To find out what kinds of glue do the best job, the laboratory staff devised an electrically-operated trip-hemmer testing machine. Knots in a piece of wood are fixed with the various types of glues under consideration. Then the wood is placed directly under the hammer; which strikes repeated blows of the same force at each knot. By counting the number of blows each knot can withstand, the technicians learn which glue is best.

Knot-gluing is only one of the many Western Pine Research projects. The laboratory is engaged in a constant effort to improve the serviceability of lurnber. Much of their time goes into testing to discover how much strength is required to meet the demands of specific tasks, such as use in floors, roofs, trusses. They have another machine for that.

A stick of pine to be tested is placed in the machine, its ends supported by two columns like miniature bridge abutments which rise from a movable platform. Some-' one pulls a switch and the platform grinds slowly upward until the exact center of the stick meets a steel buffer. Still the platform rumbles inexorably up. When a gauge registers 1,100 pounds pressure, fine beads of moisture break out on the stick, which is being bent remorselessly. Finally, when the two wood fibres give way, the machine is stopped and the breaking pressure registered.

The knowledge gained from these and other tests may not do much to improve the lot of the juvenile baseball fan, but lumbermen here say it's doing a great deal to improve methods of building construction.

FHA Title ll Applications Triple in Volume in Southern California

FHA's participation in the Southern California volume of small residential projects starting construction during the first quarter ol 1942 moved up approximately 10/o over the corresponding quarter of 1941, namely from 47.08% in the 3-month period of L941, to 56.82/o in the first three months of this year, according to a quarterly survey made by the local FHA office of building permits issued in 43 principal cities throughout the district and comparison with new construction started under FHA inspection, it was reported by Wilson G. Bingham, Southern California District Director, FHA.

Practically all of these homes are being built in war industry areas and are priced to sell for $6,000 or less, or to rent for $50 a month or less, in conformity with the Federal Government's defense housing program.

Total number of applications received by the local FHA office for insurance of mortgages in this small residential projects' group, definitely moved upward, showing an increase of over 48/o above the volume for the month of March.

"In order to avoid delay, while awaiting the final decision of Congress on the Title VI pending legislation, builders generally throughout the Southern California District, made generous use of the FHA facilities under Title II, approximately tripling. the number of applications in this category during the month of April over that of the March volume," said Mr. Bingham. "I{owever, builders also continued to send in application's under Title VI so as to have the preliminary processing completed pending the continuation of FHA's authority to issue commitments under this phase of its activities. The April volume in this group shorved a 33/o increase over the March figure in number of applications received bv the local office.,'

Accept our congratulations on your editorial, "He Still Has His Ax."

W. K. Sears, Abbey's Industrial Directories, Portland, Oregon.

Owners of homes and other structures which "leak heat" can contribute much to the war effort if they insulate these buildings and thus save fuel, the Federal Housing Administration stated. It may be, in fact, that they will have to use less fuel next winter, whether or not they insulate.

Fuel is of vital importance to war production, the FHA pointed out, and the threat of a fuel shortage already is casting its shadow over the Eastern seaboard. Insulation helps conserve fuel and at the same time involves the use of little or no material needed otherwise for the war effort.

"ft is unusual to call the attention of the home owner to the importance of insulation at the approach of spring," officials said. "Today, however, the home owner can get the material, as insulation material is generally available and is not on the list of critical rnaterials. In most sections of the country he can get the workmen, although skilled labor is getting increasingly scarce. And in all sections of the country he should be able to get the money under Title I of the Housing Act.

"Aside from all this, no one knows how much the use of coal, oil, and gas in the home will be restricted next winter.

"Several thousand financial institutions throughout the country are actively making modernization and repair loans insured by the FHA under Title I. They have just recently been asked to limit Title I lending to finance work which contributes to the war effort in some way, or which is necessary to health and safety.

"Luxury loans are out for the duration of the war, as far as the FHA program is concerned. But loans for adequate insuldtion, with the consequent saving in fuel, are very much in order. Reliable dealers, contractors, and others can advise home owners on what steps to take in insulating."

The use of insulation of various kinds and care in the operation and maintenance of the heating system benefit the home owner by making the drvelling more comfortable and by reducing the cost of heating.
