Fort Brass Athletic Field to be Memorial to Edward L. Green

In cooperation with the schools of the City of Fort Bragg and the County of Mendocino, California, friends of Edward L. Green have arranged that plans be drawn to improve and modernizethe athletic field which serves all of the Fort Bragg schools, and that the field be named Edward Lowe Green Memorial Athletic Field.

A fund is now being raised to defray the cost of the planning, to build a memorial players' bench at the football field with a suitable plaque, and to carry out such features of the plan as the fund permits.

It is agreed by the schools and the County that when the Memorial Fund is exhausted, any future improvements to the athletic field will be carried out in accordance with the plans provided by the Memorial Fund.

The sponsors' committee is as follows: Otis R. Johnson, Raymond Shannon; Kenneth Monteagle, Don Blessing, Leonard B. Allison, James L. Snell, Superintendent of Fort Bragg Schools and James E. Busch, D'istrict Attorney, Mendocino County.

Those who desire to contribute to this memorial to Ed Green's memory may do so. Checks should be made payable to Edward Lowe Green Memorial Fund, 1010 Crocker Building, San Francisco.

A Brief Career Sketch

Mr. Green passed away in San Francisco on January 19, 1943, after an illness of several weeks. He was a director and vice-president in charge of production of Union Lumber Company. Born in Aberdeen, Washington, October 25, 1901, he graduated from the Aberdeen High School in 1919. At school he was outstanding in athletics and all other activities.

He was employed by the Nemah Logging Co. of Raymond, Wash., where he was engaged in various activities in connection with their logging operations. In 1920 at the age of 19 he was employed by Union Lumber Co' and went to Fort Bragg to live. He worked in the woods on the South Fork of Ten-Mile River for about a year, then worked at the plant for a period of three years and was transferred to Mendocino, where after a short time he became assistant to R. D. Swales, general manager of The Mendocino Lumber Co.

When the Mendocino plant shut down late in 1931 Mr. Green returned to Fort Bragg, where he became superintendent of manufacture of Union Lumber Co., in charge of converting the logs, handling, refining and shipping the resultant products.

In 1932 he married Eleanor Broemmel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Broemmel of San Francisco. Their daughter, Patricia, is now nine years old.

Upon the death of Harold P. Plummer in April, 1935, Mr. Green was transferred to San Francisco to succeed Mr. Plummer as vice-president in charge of sales. He remained in this position until 1941, when he was transferred to Fort Bragg to succeed M. D. Gray, who had retired as general manager. He was given the titleof vice-president in charge of production. This position included the responsibility for all the company's interests in Mendocino County.

In the passing of Ed Green not only the Union Lumber Company but the entire lumber industry lost a friend, who by his exceptional spirit, his cooperative attitude and his loyalty, endeared himself to the hearts of all who knew him.

Very truly yours, NEVEIIJ.E COMMITTIEE

His daddy used to lead him by the hand, Across the meadows in the falling dusk, On little pleasure trips that they had planned, When all the woods were redolent with musk; And when he grew to be a stalwart lad, There was a place that only he could fill. Today a letter brought his daddy word, That he was killed in action, over there. His face paled, and his misty eyes were blurred, The while his lips moved silently in prayer; And then he seemed to feel a hidden joyKnowing God must be lonesome for his boy.

T : B. in Chicago Tribune.

During the first World War the splendid English poet Laurence Binyon, in his poem "For the Fallen," wrote one of the most famous little war heart throbs of history: They shall not grow old, As we that are left, grow old. Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We shall remember them.

Duty makes a yo'ng ^:ii a good soldier or sailor; but faming patriotism makes him an unbeatable and indestructible knight in shining armor, fighting for the land he loves and for the fag that fies above it.

*rl.*

The British tell us now that after DunHrk they had only enough ammunition left in Britain to keep its forces fighting for ONE MINUTE. I'11 bet the regret for that lost opporttrnity is what has brought about whatever it is that has happcned to Hitler. Can't you imagine that egomaniac waking at night and screaming aloud when he thinks of that one minute of ehooting-+nd then SILENCE -that would have been England's lot had he followed them across the channel after Dunkirk? ***

One report I read recently declared that-unable to stand the strain of the past year-Hitler has taken to the bottle;

has become a dipsomaniac. Well, that wasn't so great a change. All he had to do was add the "dipso." He had the rest of it all the time.

tt|lrt

At a time when some thousands of retail lumber yards have gone out of business due to war conditions, we watch with wonderment some men who go at it in just the op posite fashion. I know of a man who rented a disused lumber yard, bought an old rookery of a house across the street, wrecked it, and sold the materials. Bought another and did the same. Then several more. Then he got some new lumber in. Then some sash, doors, and windows. Now he's in the lumber business and doing well, getting biggcr every day.

*!t

In Hollywood, California, they have a phrase in common use: "Gone Hollywood." ft refers to folkb who go there, get the strange Hollywood serum in their blood, and begin acting as they never had before. Now they use that same approach concerning the city of Washington. They say a man has "Gone Washington." Which means that infation of various sorts has hit him, and he acts and talks as he never had been knourn to do. He sort of gets elephantiasis of ideas, if you know what I mean. The mania to talk big, act big, and infate everything he touches, seems to overcome his ordinary calm judgment.

t*!S

Probably no better case of a man "Gone Washington" could be pointed out than that of Elmer Davis, Director of the Office of War Information; they call itOWI. No man ever took a bureau job who was more highly regarded. It was generally conceded that he was a good man, a good journalist, a good writer, and a man of sound judgment. He took a job gathering and distributing from the various agencies of the Federal Government at Washington the essential news, and distributing it to the nation. ff some privately owned news agency had undertaken that same job it would probably have employed a hundrbd or so expert men. Know how many Elmer hired? FOUR TI{OUSAND. No wonder he is having his dog Hcked around Washington, being "derided and denied, belittled and belied." Not to mention investigated. Trying to divide the

\pork of a few score competent people among four thousand would get any man in trouble.

When the investigators asked him why he published millions of copies of books and things that were pure political propaganda, his replies were unconvincing excuses. He could have told them the truth, that he had to find something for that army of writers to do, so he was forced to turn them loose on many things unrelated to the war information he was hired to gather and distribute. He is asHng forty-seven million dollars to finance that army for the ensuing year. Forty-seven million dollars ! He "went Washington" sure nuff t ***

What's become of that good old slogan-"The customer is always right"? Gone are those days. They tell about a cafe that set up a sign: "Don't criticize our waiters. They are a heap harder to get than customers." And that, ladies and gents, is the text of the entire national situation. No one worries about customers-it's the help.

I read about a California restaurant that advertised in the newspapers as follows: "Man wanted to operate dishwashing machine. Six days a week. $30 and meals. Pleasant surroundings. Congenial workers, all Democrats. Birds sing all.during eight hour shift. We know you'll like us, and we hope we'll like you." The ad made a hit, brought them a lot of new business, and won them a prize for clever advertising. BUT IT DIDN'T GET THEM A DISHWASHER.

rf**

That job paid $11 a week just three years back, and they could get all the help they wanted at that price. I clipped an ad the other day offering $360 a month for a type of laborer who was getting about $60 a month for that same work three years ago. No wonder that with so many of the things we buy the price keeps edging up, the quality and quantity keep sliding down. Where will it end? Ah, friend, if I knew !

From England comes a sweet sample of humorous advertising. A Manchester firrniture store got hit by a German bomb, and badly wrecked. The management advised the public about it in their advertising, and added: "BUT YOU OUGHT TO SEE OUR BERLIN BRANCH." Swell sample of gameness.

'l:f*

Those British storekeepers had learned well the philosophy of an old colored man I used to know. He had more than his share of trials and tribulations in life, yet was alwas cheerful, always smiling, always with a good word to say. Someone asked him one day how come he was always that way, and he said: "Well, Cap'n, I'll tell you how come. I jes' learned long ergo to cooperate wif de inevitable."

There has been plenty of reprinting of the story of the rookie soldier on K. P. duty who said he had never been able to learn to cook out of a cook book, because every recipe started with an impossible suggestion-"Take a clean dish." And what, some woman wants to know, can you do with that good old recipe that began: "Take a quart of whipping cream, a dozen eggs, and a pound of butter?" !F**

We have come to a time when you may still hear a man declare that he makes a lot of money, but you'll never hear one say that he "brings home the bacon." Not much, any\pay.

The late Ramsay McDonald, Premier of Great Britain, urras once making a speech on the possibility of creating a lasting peace in the world. A critic interrupted the speech to say: "The desire for peace does not necessarily instrre it." "Quite true," replied the quick witted Premier. "Neither does the desire for food satisfy your hunger; but at least it gets you started towards a restaurant."

Use of '\(/'esternPineRestricted bv \(/PB

San Francisco, May 6-The War Production Board today restricted the use of seven species of Western lumber almost entirely to essential military needs. The action was taken through issuance of a limitation order L-M, which becomes effective May 13.

The lumber restricted by the order includes all ponderosa pine, sugar pine, Idaho white pine, white fir, lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce and western white spruce, except shingles, lath or railroad cross-ties, produced in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and South Dakota.

Demands for military boxing and crating have become so great that it was found necessary to stop unessential and less essential uses of the lumber.

The order affects about 800 producers in the specified states. These producers can sell or deliver the restricted lumber to the central producing agency of the Corps of Engineers, to other designated government agencies, to Lend-Lease countries, and to their contractors and sub contractors.

L-D0 also provides that no person, including the armed services or other government agencies, may purchase certain grades of the affected species for use in construction.

WPB recognizes that certain essential civilian uses must be cared for. To provide for these, the restricted lumber will be released through authorization on form PD-872.

L-nO also provides that the War Production Board may allocate certain quantities or percentages of production or shipments to specified persons for specific uses, without regard to any preference ratings assigned to particular purchase orders or contracts.

Adds To Holdinss

The Placerville Lumber Company, Placerville, Calif., under the management of Harvey E. West recently completed two lumber transactions increasing the timber holdings of the company by over 200 million feet.

The A. J. Rupley timber land east of the American River which comprises approximately 10,000 acres estimated to contain over 100,000,000 feet, recently was purchased by the company. Manager West reports that included in the transaction are the Plum Creek or Shank and Wilbur mill and the Bradbury & Tuman mill. These will be dismantled and the machinery used in other operations.

The Placerville Lumber Company also has signed a contract with the Silver Fork Lumber Company for operations in the Silver Fork area. The Sacramento Box Company, which formerly worked in the area, has dismantled its mill there and is building a new one in the Woodleaf region east of Marysville.

Mr. West says the Placerville company's logging camps at Tahoe Valley, Fresh Pond, Silver Fork and Alder Creek are open and the falling of timber has begun. Sawmills at Tahoe Valley and Fresh Pond are expected to begin operations next week. The manager said the total timber now available to the company exceeds 500,0@,000 feet.

When Grover Cleveland was President, he often sought relaxation in the form of a hunting trip into the Adirondack Mountains, where he always had the services of a famous guide named Chick Bruce. They became quite devoted to one another.

One morning the guide left the President sitting on a log. When he returned from an effort to locate a deer, he found his distinguished employer sitting lazily on the log

erating as M. M. Cooper & Son. purchased his father's interest in assumed full control.

May 13 of this year, not only marked the 70th birthday for W. E,. Cooper, widely known lumberman, but on that date he also observed the 50th anniversary of his ownership and activity in the lumber business. Born on a farm near Madison, Wisconsin, onMay 13, 1873, William E Cooper began his business career at Merrimac, \Misconsin, where in 1893 he was admitted to a partnership in his father's lumber business, opThe following year, he the business and then

This marked the beginning of many organizations which were destined to cover a wide range of enterprises and it is a noteworthy commentary that while he started in business with only a few hundred dollars of his own, Mr. Cooper's business acumen and energy brought him marked success and recognition. Modestly, however, he invariably says that his success is not due to his own hard and earnest efforts but to the help and cooperation of his loyal associates and employees and the good will of those with whom he has done business.

In 1896 he established a branch yard at Dane, \Misconsin, and in 1900 he became associated with T. J. Hughes of lMales, Wisconsin, and opened a lumber yard at that place. ln lX)Z he purchased yards at Dousman and Nashotah, 'Wisconsin, and about that time he and F. W. Graves organized the Cooper & Graves Lumber Company with yards in Northern Wisconsin and Michigan.

Two years later, leaving the Merrimac yard under tlre supervision of his brother, the late Frank A. Cooper, he moved to Milwaukee and engaged in the wholesale lumber business. Mr. Cooper often relates that all of his calls on his various customers and his many trips to the mills had to be negotiated by train with many attendant inconveniences and long stopovers. However, his company as well as many of the firms from whom he purchased lumber,

weathered the depression of those years and are still operating in Wisconsin and Northern Michigan.

Mr. Cooper and Mr. Hughes also became interested in land and real estate and in 1910 and 1911 established the Cooper-Hughes Investment Company and the CooperHughes Land & Lumber Company which corporations still maintain large holdings in the vicinity of Great Falls, Montana.

During these years in Wisconsin, Mr. Cooper became owner or co-owner of many retail lumber yards; among them the Cooper & Utter Lumber Company with yards at Nashotah and Merton, the Delafield Lumber & Fuel Company at Delafield, and the Middleton Lumber Company at Middleton. These yards are now under the supervision of L. E. Utter with the exception of the Middleton yard which is under the direction of A. C. Utter.

In l9I2 Mr. Cooper and his family moved from Milwaukee to California. At that time he was financially interested in fourteen corporations and partnerships, which he had organized, and he had planned to retire from active business. He was much too active, however, and becoming restive started operating in real estate, acquiring extensive holdings, and several of these holdings are still in his possession. In order to have his son, Charles M. Cooper, associated with him in the lumber business. in l9ZO Mr. Cooper organized the W. E. Cooper Lumber Company at 2035 East 15th Street, Los Angeles, specializing in hardwoods and this was one of the largest wholesale yards in Southern California, which company later entered the retail field.

In 1933 the retail and wholesale departments were segregated and the retail yard of W. E. Cooper Lumber Company was moved to 4650 West Pico Boulevard, and placed in charge of his son. The offices of the wholesale division, in June, 1941, were moved to the Richfield Building, in downtown Los Angeles.

Mr. Cooper resides at San Marino and is still active in business, spending a part of each day at his desk. He receives much pleasure in personally calling upon and inspecting the yards of his customers and mill associates. High quality and fair dealing in all transactions have always been his watchword. fn order to furnish his customers with the highest quality lumber, he has always represented only the best mills.

.Possessing a well-rounded personality, always growing in knowledge, in appreciation and in cooperation, Mr. Cooper deservedly is one of the industry's best-known and respected representatives. He is most appreciative and ever ready and willing to give fullest cooperation to his associates and employees, many of whom have organized their

own companies and never fail to remember and show their appreciation for the training and experience gained under "'\ry'. E." as he is better known to his many friends.

Mr. Cooper's wide range of activities tend to keep him interested and youthful. Aside from his many interests, he finds time and opportunity to relax at his ranch in the foothills of Altadena. Here he forgets the cares of the day and spends many enjoyable hours in the great outdoors. He makes a specialty of growing rare fris, Camellias and Azaleas and the small canyon is a bower of beauty with its great variety of flowers, plants and trees.

Besides being a true lover of nature, he is a very publicspirited citizen, giving whole-hearted support to every movement calculated to promote the safety or welfare of society as a whole. He is held in the highest esteem by a host of friends who joined in felicitating him upon his 70th birthday and his 50th business anniversary.

Prefiminary Estimate o( California

Lumber Production for 1942

San Francisco, April30-The lumber production of California sawmills in 1942 was 2,322,170,000 board feet according to a preliminary estimate made by the California Forest and Range Experiment Station of the Forest Service in cooperation with the Bureau of the Census, the U. S. Department of Commerce and the War Production Board.

Although hampered by shortage of manpower and equipment and by adverse weather condiiions in the spring, the lumber industry responded to the unprecedented wartime demands for lumber by producing only a fraction less than was sawed in the record year of 194I.

For the State as a whole, with the exception of redwood, Douglas fir and white fir there was a decrease in the cut of all species ranging lrom 2.7 per cent in incense cedar to 19.3 per cent in Sitka spruce. The most outstanding increases were 16.2 per cent for Douglas fir and 30.1 per cent for white fir. The most significant decreases were 3.7 in ponderosa pine and 12.6 in sugar pine.

In the pine region the estimated lumber production in 1942 was 1,730,931,000 board feet or approximately 3 per cent below the 1941 output, due to declines in the cut of ponderosa pine, sugar pine and incense cedar. In the redwood region the estimated production of 591,238,000 board.feet was approximately 9 per cent greater than in 1941 due mainly to the increase in Douglas fir production.

As this statement is based on the cut of 266 out of. an estimated active 314 sawmills in California the final production statistics issued by the Bureau of the Census will be different. The complete preliminary s.tatement will be ready for distribution by the Experimenr Station, Berkeley. within a week.

Lumber

promises c Arecter future for wood

Fon rHr NATtoN's essential construction, the products of the forest were always at hand-and ready for use. Logs built the early cabins and stockades-hewn into timbers, they built bridges and boats-fashioned into dimension and boards, anod bailt America-its homes, churches, schools, factories, stores and farm buildings.

under the mandate of each new necessity, the quality, the form, and the application of lumber improved. rfood constantly serves new uses, both urban and rural, becaase uood is econonical and easily uorhable.

The rush of war needs for coonri.ss materials made demands on all our nation's resources. High on the list was lumber. From timber-line. to laminated arch rafters, and reco trusses for modern factories and airplane hangars, to plywood shells, for air and water craft, wood accomplished in weeks what would otherwise have required months.

The record of wood in rhe war marks still funher advancemenr in the development of lumber. Research freed wood from foimer limitations of the log. New ways of forming and shaping wood, new methods of joining and bonding it have given us such products as laminated wood rafters, various forms of plywood, and many other newer products.

Lumber dealers will find in the furure expanding markets for lumber in their communities-new ways to serve those markets better, because engineering in lumber has more than ever established irs economy, utility, and adaptability.

glrtlNo lN TODAY'! nerxrr-Today, more than in any other period, the home owner and farmer are more fully aware of the imporance of maintenance and repair. Norwithstanding the less than normal flow of lumber for civilian requirements' it is still serving these essential markets. In combination with othermaterials, lumber will help you serve in rnany ways your city and farm customers.

Stickins Mv Neck Out

By Jack Dionne

More than two months ago I stuck my neck out in these columns, and expressed the opinion (as a warning to lumber dealers who might be making their plans differently) that lumber would become scarcer before it became more plentiful, and that the opportunity for securing lumber for civilian building was becoming more remote, instead of less.

Those prognostications proved correct. It required no prophet to see what was coming. The Government said it wanted all the lumber the mills could make, so the consequences were obvious.

Right now, if I were in the retail lumber business and. wanted to stay in it rurtil the war ended, I would take it for granted that lumber is going to become even scarcer than it has been at any time yet so far as civilian building is concerned; and I would likewise take it for granted that there would be new and more drastic restrictions issued against civilian building, rather than any relaxation that optimism might suggest. That's the way I'd make my plans and my figures. If it didn't happen, I would be no worse off. If it did, I would be prepared for it.

And I would prepare for eventualities by going deep into the business of changing from peacetime to wartime merchandising. IfI hadn't yet got started substituting new things to sell for the things I used to sell, I wouldn't wait a minute to start. And if, as thousands of dealers have already done, I HAD started looking for new things to

CONTRACT LOGGERS

sell and selling different things, I would intensify my efforts along that line.

Many thousands of dealers today are selling supplies for new gardeners and new poultry producers in the city; and selling small unit buildings of all descriptions to help the farmer intensify his activities in some measure toward increasing the production of food. In this direction lies one big out for the harassed lumber dealer. But these things require work, hard work and along entirely new lines. A salesman friend of mine who just returned from a trip around his district on which he called on more than two hundred lumber yards, says that every single yard he called on is doing more or less new merchandising; selling things he never sold before. EVERY YARD, mind you. And what is true in his territory is probably reflected in conditions all over the country.

The war emergency has practically said to lumber dealers everywhere: "GET OUT AND SELL AND SUBSTITUTE-or GET OUT."

So get busy and sell all these new garden and farm helps; sell paint, wall paper, roofing, sidewalls, insulation, builtin furniture, cement, gypsum products, available wall boards, etc., etc., etc.In the old days the dealer used to make his living on his lumber sales, and used his side lines for extras. Today he's got to sell what used to be side lines for his main business, and do the best he can about lumber until the emergency recedes. For in that direction lies hope.

CHANGES IN BASING POINTS

Several changes in basing points, used to determine inbound freight charges in computating distribution yard ceilings for some species of softwood lumber, are announced by OPA (MPR 215, Amendment 5), effective May 1.

SouthernPine Boards

Mill ceilings for No. 2 common southern pine boards are increased $1 per 1,000 board feet, and those of No. 2 common dimension are decreased an equivalent amount by OPA. Important changes are also introduced by the regulation in new definition of "distribution yard." Tables of specific prices are established for the first time for some items of car materials and for other materials which were priced until now by special formula (Revised MPR 19), issued April 26.

1lth Annual Reveille Draws Big Crowd

While the attendance at the 11th Annual Reveille, held at Hotel Leamington, Oakland, May 7, was not up to the record breaking figures of the past several years, it was the biggest get-together meeting of Central and Northern California lumbermen since the last Reveille. As a matter of fact the crowd was just right for the hotel to handle comfortably, and evervbody had a good time. Many reniarked that they were seeing friends they had not met for some time, and that sort of thing is one of the objects of this annual affair.

A large number of lumbermen from towns and cities of Northern and Central California were able to make a busi ness trip coincide with the Reveille date and this made the attendance representative of many districts as in the past.

President George Clayberg of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 welcomed the big crowd.

Lewis A. Godard, general chairman for the 1943 Reveille, took a couple of minutes to give a quick sketch of the history of the Reveille and introduced Clem Fraser, originator of the idea. As is well known these affairs have all been handled very efficiently by East Bay Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39. The chairrnan also announced that as a result of the

generous support of the Reveille by wholesale and retail lumbermen a substantial sum of money will be donated to the special fund, connected with the war effort, which was this year's objective.

Among those at the head table was Private Jas. B. Overcast, past president and secretary of Club No. 39, and seated beside him was his guest, Private Hill, also of the armed forces.

A $15.00 door prize was won by C. Lindsay, and the second prize of $5.0O was won by Miland Grant.

A word of praise is due to Host Phil Riley of the Leamington for the hotel's excellent service in spite of difficult conditions.

Benito Moreno was master of ceremonies for the 1943 Reveille Victory Revue. Jack Petty's Band furnished the music.

The general committee consisted of Lewis A. Godard, general chairman; Miland R. Grant, aisistant general chairman; G. W. Sechrist, general secretary-treasurer; George Clayberg, D. Normen Cords, Wm. Chatham, Jr., Carl R. Moore, Tom Branson, Tom Hogan III, Frank H. White, John Helm, Clem Fraser.

\(/orld's Largest Hangars Built of \7ood---

tVith Timber Connectors

rc

Under construction at strategic points in the United States are the largest all timber structures in the world.

These mammoth blimp hangars for the U. S. Navy will house the lighter-than-air fleet being assembled to fight the submarine menace. They are 1000 feet long and the curved roof is supported by arched timber trusses with a span of 240 leet and a rise of 185 feet.

Formerly, several of these great hangars were constructed of steel and it is due-solely to Teco connector engineering that they can be successfully built of wood. The large wooden superstructure, containing almost 4,000,000 feet of lumber, results in the saving of over 2,000 tons of structural steel, and with its wooden members chetrically treated to resist fire, provides a building in many respects superior to one of metal.

From the War Production Board comes the statement

that "Such a structure could not have been built of wood by ordinary methods without the use of timber connectors The steel ring timber connector, which is used to increase the strength of joints in wood construction, saved more than 400,000 tons of steel for essential rvar production in 1942."

Navy engineers have achieved a notable success in the design and erection of this vast, multiple truss building, the biggest of scores of large Navy, Armv, and Maritime Commission projects built with Teco timber connectors under the revolutionary Teco system of timber engineering. During the past few years, well over 100,000 heavy duty structures, of over 600 types, have been built using the Teco connector system. They include clear span factories, docks, shipyards, 'warehouses, tanks, towers, trestles, bridges, barges and many others.

Same Car Makes Repeat Trip To Stockton Yard

Occasionally we read an article about a "repeater" meaning that a car v/ent from one mill to a certain destination and then made a repeat trip at a later date between the same point of origin and the same destination.

But here's an instance we believe will remain "uncapped" for some time to come and should be of interest to Ripley. This identical car traveled 1860 miles in the single service of one sawmill and one buyer without any intervening service.

On October L,1942, SP -41153 was loaded at Swisshome, Oregon, shipped to the Santa Fe Lumber Company, Stockton, and arrived there on October 14. The car was unloaded and released at Stockton, October 18.

On October D, L942, the same car, SP-41153 was loaded by the same mill at Swisshome, Oregon, shipped to the Santa Fe Lumber Company; Stockton, arrived there November 7 and was unloaded November 8.

The distance is 620 miles from Swisshome to Stockton.

Redwood Fibre \(/ar Needs

The new fibre developed from the inner bark of thc California Redwoods by The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, now releases vast quantities of cotton required in the war effort, according to C. L. Thompson, head of the company's Research Division. This latest development following closely on the heels of the original discovery that Redwood fibre blends with wool in fabrics and felts, will relieve an impending shortage of cotton linters required in the making of gunpowder and explosives. This newly discovered textile fibre is described as highly resistant to moisture and humidity, thereby imparting its natural springy resilience to the material with which it is mixed.

A new era of sleeping cornfort is prophesied by the developers of this new fibrous filler. Its introduction into mattresses, comforters and pillows greatly prolongs the resilient life and utility of these essential items necessary to human comfort. It is also used with wool in soft fleecy blankets which closely approach the appearance, weight and warmth of all-wool.

Even our nation's fighting forces will benefit from this discovery for under recent studies conducted by the Army, mattresses composed oI 50/o Redwood bark fibre and the balance cotton linters were subiected to tortuous and exhaustive tests.

When the mattresses were opened and the filler carefully examined by government experts it was found that this fibrous material improves the serviceability and quality of cotton mattresses.

For countless centuries the inexhaustible uses which the gigantic Redwoods could serve were comparatively unknown. Today, however, through the untiring efforts of the scientific research on the part of The Pacific Lumber Company numerous other developments will eventually emeige from the test-tube to fill other civilian and military needs.

For Ingham Lumber Company

Earl Bliele, one of the best known lumber sales managers in Northwest lumber territory, is now sales manager for the Ingham Lumber Company, with mills and offices at Glendale, Oregon. This concern operates a sawmill of 150,000 capacity for an eight-hour shift, and is thoroughly modern in every particular. Their output which is mostly Fir, but also includes some Sugar Pine and Ponderosa, is splendidly manufactured. The Ingham Lumber Company is an old Kansas City outfit, that manufactured Southern Pine for many years.

Mr. Bliele started his lumber experience in the South, working for the Central Coal & Coke Company under Charles Keith, at their once big Pine mill at Carson, Louisiana. When the Keiths started construction of their big Fir mill at Vernonia, Oregon, Mr. Bliele was sent there as timber dock and shipping foreman, where he learned a lot about Fir and the Fir business. When the depression closed Vernonia he moved to Westfir, Oregon, and joined the Westfir Lumber Company, soon being made sales manager for that concern. He held that position for the past seven years, and recently accepted an offer from the Ingham Lumber Company at Glendale. Ward A. Ingham is president and general manager at Glendale.

Tomorrow's Lumber Merchant Will Help Rebuild the \forld

By Henry Humann

General Chairman, 1943 Foreign Trade \fleek Committee, Los Angeles Chomber of Commerce

Priorities, rationirg, shortages and their restrictive rules and regulations imposed upon us by impact of global war, although burdensome to bear, need not prevent contemplation of those conditions which will face us tomorrow.

When ultimate and complbte victory comes and warboom orders cease, the lumber merchant will not have arrived at the end of his usefulness. nor of his opportunity. Who is there foolish enough even to suggest it?

After all, what are we fighting for, if not to remove the shackles from enslaved peoples and to rebuild a whole world-a world of free men, by free men and for free men ?

Tomorrow's lumber merchant must be in the big middle of any appreciable building activity within his community, if he would remain in that community.

Which brings up the reason for emphasis upon the week of May t6 to 22, when this country will observe National Foreign Trade Week. Started in 1927 as a community campaign in Los Angeles, this annual event spread first throughout other Pacific Coast communities and grew to its present national observance. Its purpose is to create wider interest among citizens of every community in the subject of world commerce.

, Tomorrow's lumber merchant looks upon his community as restricted only by the confines of the entire earth. He sees sales opportunity limited solely by the sum total of all the desires of all the peoples of the world, just as today

he looks upon the products handled by him going to war by every air, land and sea route open to transport'

Just as the ravages of this beastly business of war demands that the lumber merchant tomoffow must stand by to help in rebuilding, where now is desolation, so will the blessings of the pursuit of happiness demand that he serve the community of mankind when peace rules.

Tomorrow's lumber merchant of the Pacific Coast looks upon a billion customers residing in those lands which border upon the mighty Pacific Ocean. To fill the possible orders from these billion customers, he will need to look beyond the borders of his own county, state, region or nation, if he would secure the raw materials with which he works.

The 1943 message on World Commerce to the lumber merchant would tell him the sources of timber are within reach. They are without limits. He knows, of course, that North America ofiers a great sour'ce of supply for softwoods, mostly, but does he know that Latin American forests abound mostly in hardwoods? That millions of miles of these forests have not yet been explored? To say nothing of forest resources across the Pacific.

Mahogany is found in Mexico, Honduras and several other countries among our southern neighbors. The same is true of sapodilla, cedar, rosewood, balsa, cocobolo, black balsam, logwood, pine, lignum-vitae, satinwood, divi-divi, balata, quebracho, alerce, luma, cinchona, tolu balsam. As many woods as there are countries, or tomorrows.

\(/est Coast Hemlock

The 1943 version of the Cinderella tale has now been written. This is the story of West Coast hemlock, once considered a step-child by the Douglas fir industry but now proudly displayed as an "up-and-coming" member of the family of West Coast woods.

Thorough investigation of the properties of West Coast hemlock by government technicians and the lumber industry has shown that this is an ideal wood for many purposes when properly manufactured and seasoned' 'West Coast hemlock has long been used interchangeably with Douglas fir in ordinary construction and with spruce for boxes and other shipping containers. When spruce was unable to meet the war demands for aircraft lumber West Coast hemlock was tried and found to be satisfactory in every respect. It is also in much demand for ladder stock, is being used in the manufacture of the popular blondfinish furniture and is making other woods look to their laurels in the fields of flooring, paneling and siding.

Holmes EureltaLumber Co. Awarded Salety Trophy

San Francisco, Calif., May 6-For making the best safety record of the California Redwood industry dluring 1942, Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, Eureka, California, has been awarded the coveted C. R. Johnson Memorial Safety Trophy. The Company had established the most favorable Donovan Accident Index for the year. Other companies in the competition were: The Pacific Lumber Company, Scotia; Hammond Lumber Compbny, Samoa; Union Lumber Company, Fort Bragg, and Dolbeer and Carson Lumber Company, Eureka.

Under current war conditions, it was pointed out that the saving of vital man-hours through reduction of accidents is of special significance, faced as the lumber industry is with manpower depleted to bare essentials and production demands at an all-time peak.

At a banquet in Eureka, April 2L, the large bronze safity trophy was presented to Fred V. Holmes, vice-president of Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, by Leonard C. Hammond, president of Hammond Lumber Company, the winning company in 1941. More than one hundred representatives and safety engineers of Redwood operations, civic leaders, and staff members of the state compensation insurance fund attended the presentation ceremonies.

Dedicated to the memory of his father, the late Charles Russell Johnson, founder of the Union Lumber Company at Fort Bragg, Otis R. Johnson several years ago donated the perpetual trophy to be awarded annually to the Redwood lumber company having the best safety experience. The.purpose of the contest for the trophy is to encourage safe working conditions throughout Redwood mills and woods and to spread safety education among the thousands of employees of the industry. Records of the competing companies are judged each year on the basis of the well known and accepted Donovan Accident Index. The winner of the trophy retains possession until such time as one of the other companies turns in a better record.
