A MAI{UEACTURII{C MIRACTE that takes place in the Heart of a Forest

By the JOHNS-MANYfLLB ROVING RDPOBTBR

nNcE upon a time-and not so very long ago-there \,7 was in the State of Virginia a large tract of pine forest that was considered of little value as a building material. It's a different story today.

Only a few weeks ago I went to Jarratt, Virginia. There, in the heart of the forest where once had been a tiny Virginia village, I saw the impressive outlines of a modern industrial factory. The place hummed with activity. Men and women streamed in and out the doors. Day and night they work at specially designed machines changing the pine trees into a remarkable

building material Johns-Manville fnsulating Board. This factory is the type of factory that is building a new South. Here agriculture and industry meet, for the trees are harvested much in the same manner as other farm products. The farmers are tausht how to harvest only those trees which will not destiov their wood lot.

Whole trees, louger than telephone poles. are hauled from the forest by modern rnachinery, Johns-filanville has adapted 111sss.p1oduction methods to the entire operation.

l$ir*iili$f'1

Because tJle trees matule rapidly-in about eighteen years-these famers are assured a continuous source of income and never damage their land.

I wish'you could see that factory. I wish you could watch the "manufacturing miiacle" that is accomplished there every day by the people living in the surrounding countryside. t

With a Johns-Manville engineer as my guide, we went inside. In size, the factory is enonnous; we stood at one end and watched thousands of pine logs being fed into huge "achines which grind them into a pulpy mass of tough wood fibers, retaining all the strength of the stalwart pine. Tlren follows an ingenious arangement of drums, rollers, conveyorn and dr5rens where the fibers are felted, interlaced, pressed and rolled into flat homogeneous sheets.

We walked to the other end of the plant and there I saw these sheets of Iruulating Board-12 feet widecome rolling out on a conveyor in a steady stream. They are cut into convenient sizes for handling. In a few days on a few weeks some Johns-Manville dealer will deliver these sheets ofJ-M Insulating Board to a carpenter.

Perhaps they will find their way into army barracks, a dairy barn or poultry house, or they may be used to convert a waste attic into a modern, Iivable apartment in a crowded war center. Used outside-this J-M Insulating Board provides a structural sheathing naterial with a remarkable degree of insulating efrciency. Used inside-in pre-cut, pre-finished, convenient sizes and sbapee, it provides beautiful walls and ceilings at lower .eost than ever before.

Enterprise atVork

I asked ilthey thought it possible to develop other use' frrl products from these Virginia pine trees. They showed me-samples of a few that had recently come from the Researcl Laboratory. "We can't let you talk about them yet," they cautioned. But they ghowed me several of the things they have coming along for the post-war period. And then' as they explained how these new proditcts-so-e nearly ready for the market, others stil in the test-tube stage of development-would make home building better and less costly in the future, I realized that here indeed wan a striking example of the enterprise and ingenuity of American bwinessmen.

That's what I saw at Jarratt in Virginia . . a demon-

JOHN$MANVILLE fnsulating Board ia a homogeneoua board rnade in a varietv ofaiz€s and tAipkneasee. It has a remarkable degree 'of insulating "d.i"o.y.

New jobs have been created and anothen product of countless uses has joined the ranks of America's many manufacturing marvels, britg*g new opportunities for sales and profits to Johns-Manville Building Material Dealers ever5rwhere.

\Var Problems, Bette r Fire Protection, Postwar Buifdins Feature NLMA Meetins

Chicago, Ill., April 15.

-Three important Committees of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, the Executive Committee of the Timber Engineering Company, and the public reI atio n s administration Committee of American Forest Products Industries, concluded a five-day series of meetings here today. Principal business centered around lumber allotm,ents systems for military requirements, improvement in timber growth through more

Wilgon Conplon efficient fire control, extended forest products rese-arch, and plans for postwar building promotion.

Expressing the opinion that the first essential for con- tinuous forest production is adequate fire protection, the Executive committee enacted a resolution of the Forest Conservation Committee calling on forest owners and operators in each state to seek laws which will place all forest land under adequate fire protection and, if necessary, formulate new state codes of forest practice.

The NLMA Executive Committee received reports from the Forest Conservation Committee through G. F. Jewett; from the Trade Promotion and Building Code-Committee through R. G. Kimbell; from the Lumber Standards and Taxation and Tariff Committees through Henry Bahr and W. B. Greeley; and from the Association,s new Committee on National Affairs through NLMA President, George T. Gerlinger. C. A. Rishell explained the combined resiarch program of the NLMA, AFPI, and Timber Engineering Company. One of the principal features of the Thursdav session of the Executive Committee'was the presentation of a paper discussing the post-war markets for forest pro_

ducts by W. W. Woodbridge, manag.er of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau. W. B. Greeley also reported for the Committee on Foreign Lumber Trade.

Lumber Limitation orders in relaiion to .war procurement, estimates of postwar lumber production and supply, and recor.nmendations of the newly-formed Forest Industries Council were discussed at the final Executive Committee meeting on Friday.

M. L. Fleishel, who concluded a four-year term as president of the Association last December, and Wilson Compton, who in the same month rounded out 25 years of service to the Association, as its secretary and manager, were the guests of honor at a dinner given by the Executive Committee on Thursday evening. John W. tWatzek, Jr. presented Mr. Fleishel with a hand-carved book made of cypress in which was contained a life membership in NLMA signed by all officers and living past presidents. George T. Gerlinger presented Mr. Compton with an elaborate sterling silver service by his friends and associates in the forest industries. In addition, his staff paid tribute to their boss with a fine Swiss watch presented to Mr. Compton by R. G. Kimbell.

In a public statement at the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Gerlinger attributed current lumber supply difficulties to the continued manpower and equipment problems of the industry. He said: "We have sufficient timbqr to meet all U. S. military requirements for lumber, but we do need either a few thousand more loggers in the woods or more heavy equipment if we are going to ease the currently tight supply situation."

Members of the executive Committee attending the meetings were: George T. Gerlinger and Dean Johnson of West Coasp Lumbermen's Association, A. J. Voye of Western Pine Association, C. Arthur Bruce and Lee Rohinson of Southern lTardwood Producers, fnc., Stanley Sheip of Hardwobd Dimension Manufacturers Association, Abbott Fox of Northern Hemlock & Hardwood Manufacturers Association, R. C. Winton of Northern Pine Manufacturers Association, W. W. Woodbridge of Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, and M. L. Fleishel, F. K. Weyerhaeuser, and J. W. Watzek, Jr., members at large.

"Please wise me up," writes an old retail friend, L. B. Curd, "can Biddle take over my lumber business?" That same question had been asked on every hand since the Montgomery Ward seizure took place in Chicago. In the first place, Biddle did not take over Montgomery Ward. It was taken over by the Federal Government on orders from the President under authority claimed for that office during war times. Biddle was simply the instrument of the government. As this is written the question of whether or not the President has such authority is up to the courts and Congress. But answering my friend's qu€ry, if Biddle's contention as to the authority of th,e president is upheld, then it looks like he can take over your lumber business and anything "t". tT :*t

"I like the way you mix your serious remarks with humor," writes an old reader. Thanks pal. Dumas once said: "An author's business is to write joyfully, so that his readers may live joyfully." These are hard days to .,live joyfully" in. Yet there are no days or times so dark or dreary that a happy thought doesn't help. At least that's my philosophy. In these war days it is all the more important that we remember to do some grinning. ,.Never let your face sag," a great soul said to me long ago. ..Always Ieave thern laughing when you say goodbye,,, wrote that splendid American, George M. Cohan. I generally try for a laugh or two somewhere*in*this column.

Which reminds me that the best laugh I've had right recently comes from a remark Jesse Jones is alleged to have made about his enemy, Henry Wallace. George Dixon, wrlting from Washington for the Los Angeles E:raminer,

tells it. He says he met "Big Jess', on the street, and Jones asked him if he knew why Wallace was going to China. Dixon wanted to know, and the answer was: "Wallace heard that Spangler says a Chinaman could be elected President this year on the Republican ticket, so he's going to China to take 1* l* naturalization papers."

Walter Lippmann, the serious minded columnist, seldom indulges in flippancies in his writings. But he pulled a fast one the other day in discussing labor and the emplo5rment situation. He said one of our chief troubles is that Secretary of Labor Perkins-when it comes to employment- is entirely "un;employable." poor Madam perkinst Not even Holl5rwood ever does*so complete a job of miscasting.

I'm fully in sympathy with the guy who says that he isn t so much worried about what the future has in store for him as he is about what the stone has in future for him. And I like the latest definition of a bookie, a man who can run a fortune into a shoestring for you.

As this is written the world is on the verge of jitters, anticipating the launching of that fateful second front. fime drags, as millions wait almost breathlessly for tlre opening gun.

Wm. Cowper Brann once wrote: ,1I can no more imagine a man loving only the North or South half of his country than I can imagine him loving only the left or right side of his wife.

It never occurred to me that th6 time could ever conr,e when Americans would see the Constitution attacked either directly or indirectly, without rising up in righteous wrath and smashing the attackers.

Chester Bowles, bright and well-intentioned head of OPA, writes in Colliers about rationing. He says it will not end with the war, and tells why, and guesses when. But he overlooks the most important thing that bears on rationing and its duration, and that is the election next November. The fate of rationing is going to be settled at the polls, Chester; you can be sure of that. If the same philosophy continues in Washington that prevails there todan then rationing and regimentation will probably go

on forever like the river flowing to the s6a-"tilt the walls shall crumble to ruins, and moulder in dust away.,' I heard a famous Southern orator say the other day that his travels had convinced him that the thinking people of this country are more concerned about the permanency of regi- mentation than they are about the war; they know we;re going to win that. But if there comes a clrange in management following the elections, rationing will change rap_ idly. All needless rationing will stop-pronto. Ana tneir, when we quit trying to see how much of our worldly goods we can give away all over the world, we will piomptty accumulate so mugh here at home that rationing- will fail of its own weight.

Meat is not rationed in Canada. That,s because they eat their own. If each Canadian had to supply his own meat and enough on the side for several foreigners in un_ heard-of parts of the world, meat would be rationed there, too.

Tennyson set the world on fire with his immortal poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade," which took place on 'the field of Balaklava in the Russian Crimea. Ctuntless millions of school kids the world over have thrilled as they read or heard of that dauntless band that rode, .,Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell," and it was all be_ cause "someone had blundered."

In the past year a guy named Hitler made a blunder in that same Crimea, and up to this moment it has cost the German army almost exactly half a pillion men.

___A recent article published in various newslxrpers about Winston Churchill states that he is in the fraUit of bathing in a tub of warm water and then sitting around in the nude until dry. Shucks, our own Ben Franklin would have thought Winston a cissy in this respect. Believe it or not, Franklin-who was the most enthusiastic advocate oi fresh air that America has ever produced-always bathed in a tub of cold water regardless of how cold the weather might be, and in a room in which the windows were kept open. And after bathing he scorned the use of a towil, but walked or sat about in the olrcn room until he was dry. He claimed that this was the reason he never suffered from colds. It is related of him that he would spend hours talking about the virtues;t

Foreigm Trcde Week

The eighteenth annual observance of National Foreign Trade Week in Southern California will be held in Los Angeles, May 2l-27, 1944.

Nine important meetings already are programmed, and more are being lined up, General Chairman W, F. Bettis announces. Stressing the theme, "postwar trade mqans postwar jobs," meetings will pay tributd to the pre-war increase in exporting and importing registered at Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, and will forecast a greatly enlarged foreign trade for the postwar era.

and Retail Lumber Stocks

Washington, April 19-A selected group of wholesale and retail lumber yards is being asked by the War Production Board to cooperate in making a survey of lumber stocks, the Lumber and Lumber Products Division of WPB announced today. A similar survey was made in July, 1943, and provided a very accurate pieture of the lumber supply in distribution yards and the rate of stock depletion.

fn order to plan production and distribution of lumber, WPB now needs new information on inventories as of December 31, 1943, and March 31, 1944. On the basis of the data received from the sampling of wholesale and retail yards, it will be possible to arrive at national and regional totals as well as trends in stock changes, division officials said. The results will show the quantity of lumber passing through wholesale and retail channels and should be helpful in providing the quantities required quarterly for those purchasers who obtain lumber through these yards.

fnformation obtained from the survey will complete the picture of lumber supply. Division officials pointed out that data on production and mill stocks are obtained currently through surveys carried on by the U. S. Forest Service in cooperation with WPB; the amount of lumber imported is accurately known from import licenses; and information on stocks and requirem-ents of large industrial consumers is being obtained from the reports filed under Order L-335.

Wholesale and retail yards are asked to report on Form 2644, which calls for information on hardwood and soft. wood lumber inventories as of December 31, 1943, and, March 31, l9M, by species, grades and sizes. Also asked for on the form is the amount of lumber received by the yard or by customers to fill orders placed by the yards during the six months ending January l, 1944, and the three months ending April 1, 19,$4.

Individual reports will be used only for statistical purposes, WPB said, and over-all data on condition of stocks will be released to the press and public. About 8,000 yards are being asked to participate in the survey. WpR pointed out thbt the more returns received, the more accurate the results will be. A sampling of approximately N per cent coverage of all wholesale and retail yards is desired.

Having temporarily lost our Philippine mill, we are now producing lumber in Humboldt County, California.

We can ship Rough Green Fir, Redwood Lrumber and Shingles, Redwood Split Products, by truck, rail or water.

Newly Listed Sources of Lumber

The May, 1944 issue of the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's National Red Book Service is just ofi the press. It is the 125th issue of the book which is a semi-annual consolidation of that service's twice-a-week bulletin of changes in the lumber and wood-working industries.

Lumbermen's Credit Association Inc., Chicago 5, publishers of this service, advise that as compared with the issue of 6 months ago, there are dozens of newly listed sawmills, some of which are brand new sources of lumber, others are mills which have resumed.

For the past 68 years, the lumber industry and other industries marketing through retail lumber dealers or selling to woodworking factories, have used this service as one of their guides in credit and collection work. They have also found that as an aid in sales promotion and as a guide to sources of lumber and allied products, there is nothing as good.

The match-play results follow: first flight, Hervey Bowles defeated Roy Stanton 6 and 4; second flight, Dee Essley won from Gene DeArmond by default. This means that Hervey and Dee are in the finals which will be played off at the next tournament.
