ROOFS Certigrade No. 2's, 12, clear,give complete satisfaction on all secondary buildings, garages and many farrn buildings.
SIDEWA[[S c""tig'ade No. 2,s, make exceuenr single. coursed sidewalls exposed 7lL" to lhe weather and for doublecoursed sidewalls exposed l0'to 12" to the weathrir.
Scarcity ofquality sidewall material places real importance on the No.2 Certigrade shingle. Builders, contractors and dealers are taking advantage of the fact that the No. 2 shingle is readily available and has many valuable uses.
Grading rules require that all No.2 Certi. grade shingles be clear of defects for 12 full inches from the butt. Standard exposure pro. vides three layers of cedar shingle over every inch of roof. So, by using the No. 2 Certigrade, -
you are assured that two of these layers are olways all clear. By actual test, an average of 8676 of No. 2 Certigrades are all clear for their full length-86% are better quality than grading rules require! Overcome the difficulty of obtaining scarce materials by using Certigrade No. 2's wherever possible.
THIS attractive Portland, Oregon, home contains plenty of Dougles fir plywood, but it's mostly "behind the scenes'oin wall sheathing, in roof sheathing, in subflooring. Built on a hill-top lot with sweeping view, the house is subjected to ' sweeping winds as well. Kenneth Striker, the original owner, says: "In spite of the wracking action of the wind, the Plyscord sheathing kept the structure so rigid that after four-and-a-half years there were only four small plaster cracks, due to atmospheric conditions rather than structure. When I build again, Plyscord will be a 'must'in the specifications." The present owners, Mr. and Mrs. John Dierdorff, who purchased the house in 1944, say the house is still rigid and tight, and has required an absolute minimum of maintenance. Architect for the house was Richard Sundeleaf; builder. was Julius Zink.
PIYI\IOOD'S NANY ADVANTAGES K:EP DETANDS GREATEN HAN SUPPI.Y Plywood production is greater today than pre-war. But de. mand is unprecedented, That's why Douglas fir plywood may not always be readily available.

You-the lumber dealer-play leading part in every Balsam-rW'ol consumer advertisement apped ing in 1948. Your knowledge insulation quality-your expet ence and judgment- are featurr in such nationally known public tions as American Home-Bett Homes & Gardens-House Garden- House Beautiful- Sma Homes Guide-Poultry Tribut -Successfui Farming. Throug out the length and breadth ofd land, millions of prospecti' home owners are being told th lou are the most dependab source for insulation!
Yes, Balsam-Wool consumer advertising, fearring the lumber dealer, will make more than 2.0OO,000 individual appearances for you this ear-reaching a total of 8,800.000 families.
And ALL of those prospects s'ill be directed > you-for Balsam-Wool is sold by lumber ealers only.
You, the lumber dealer, have played a major art in creating the tremendous demand s'hich ,alsam-Wool now enjoys. That's because lumer dealers all preJer to sell Balsam-Wool. There re two main reasons:
First, Iumber dealers are proud to have the nest insulation on the market to sell-proud f its record-proud of the reputation of the )mpany that makes it. They know that no other
insulation can equal Balsam-Vool's 2 5 years of perfect performance in hundreds of thousands of homes.
Secoud, lumber dealers know that their profits are protectecl w'hen they sell Balsam-\fi'ool. For Balsam-Vool is sold by lumber dealers on/y. It is not subject to drastic changes in distribution which upset established clealer relationships. It is never sold by "outside" competition at a los'er price.
These reasons help to explain why BalsamWool sales are now at an all-time peak-and q'hy the dealers who sell it are reaping substantial profits. $/ood Conversion Company: Dept. 110-58. First National Bank Buildinp;, St. Paul 1, Minnesota.

I picked up a copy of an old magazine, and my eye was caught by an unusual heading. It read: "We All Need Praise." The article was a delightful one, written by a woman, about the great value of well directed praise. There's a great thought. We do much more of that than we used to, it is true, but we still do much less of it than we should. Well directed and timely p:aise does much to lighten labor, increase effrciency, promote enthusiasm, enlist cooperation, and keep the skids of life and of industry well greased. Let's give praise where it is deserved-and when. Let's do our back-patting more intelligently and more generously.
No man is so poor ".:" ;r; that he can't be kind and thoughtful to those with whom he comes in contact.
"How is business?" ,l.rl"ul uor.r,r, friend. "Dull," he answered, "dull as a day in heaven." Of course, he'd never been there. He was thinking of the ordinary, orthodox heaven he'd read and heard about. That WOULD be dull!

Thomas Huxley said many wise things in his life, but none more helpful than his remark about a ladder: "The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other foot scmewhat higher."
Even though I may admire some of their characteristics and virtues I often shudder when I hear or read where some "party man" puts his party above his country. I don't see how he can do it. The true statesman labors to make all men equal before the law. The patriot puts the welfare of the whole people before the claims of any clique or party. I'm afraid that a true party man can be neither a true statesman, nor a true patriot. I'm not dead sure he can be a top notch "tatr.l. * *
With every day that passes I become more convinced that the most successful man is the one who is always trying to stir up a little fun and happiness, for himself and the other fellow.

For the next severat
the words "liberal" and "conservative" are going to be two of the busiest words in the political world. So I'd better wise you up on what they really mean. A "liberal" is a man who thinks as he pleases, but throws dead cats at anyone else who wants to do the same. And a "conservative" is a fellow who doesn't approve of anything a "liberal" does.

You might as well be dead as without a sense of humor, particularly the way the world is wagging these days. It saves you doctor bills and many aches and pains and worries. Because a smile beats a pill a mile, and keeps the heart happy. If you are so unfortunate as not to possess an automatic sense of humor, start out to get one. You can't buy it any more than you can buy a ticket to heaven. Just study yourself and see why you haven't a sense of humor. By the time you've watched your own antics in the glass a while, you'll probably have one. Don't forget the good old gag that says: "Blessed is he who taketh himself seriously, for behold, he shall afford much amusement"' * * *
I always regret hearing a man stewing about saving his soul. Perhaps I shouldn't, but the fact remains that I DO. Everything in the universe worth saving, will be saved, I believe. To make yourself worthwhile-your soul worth saving-that's the ticket ! By your WORKS-NOT by your scared prayers-shall you be measured when the measuring time comes-and weighing time comes. And if

Because nobody approves of too high taxes, actual illustrations of how high taxes have become are always interesting. One of our great American railway systems issued a financial report covering the past five years. According to that report that railroad paid out for taxes $208 for every share of its common stock dtrring the five year period; and its dividend rate was $6 per share. Therefore in five years time the owner of a share of common stock in that road collected $30 in dividends, and paid out $208 in taxes. The tax rate was almost seven times the dividend rate. Our forefathers filled Boston harbor with British tea because of a tax rate far less than that. Such a tax rate would wring tears from the eyes of a usurer-but not from a Bureaucrat'
Only suckers will work in this country, if the tinre comes when all the cradle-to-grave "gimme" propositions now threatening us, become law. There are many such irons in the fire, and if their sponsors should put them across, our citizens would become practically wards of the state, shielded from most of the vicissitudes of life by the strong and friendly arm of the federal government. What they would lose in exchange in the shape of strength, virility, independence, and usefulness, is easy to realize. One of the foremost of these do-good propositions is now before Congress in the form of a report just made by the Advisory Council of Social Security. This is a 17 man committee headed by Edward R. Stettinius, recently Secretary of State, and appointed by the President to make such recommendations as they think are needed.
The report of this g-; rr"O"" recommendations for 22 new ways of broadening social security. There are at preser]t 32 million wage earners under the Social Security umbrella. The new plan would increase that number by some 20 million, including farmers, farm workers, maids and domestic servants, self-employed people, employees of non-profit organizations, all government workers, members of the armed services, and even railroad employees already
covered by their own retirement system. The plan would raise the Social Security tax on both employers and employees from the present one per cent to two per cent, and would guarantee every citizen an old age free from financialworrY'
Add to this the various and sundry other "gimme" schemes, socialized medicine, etc., for giving the citizen something for nothing from the government, and you would have a Utopia from the cradle to the grave, in which only suckers would willingly and deliberately work for a living. Why work, when Uncle Sam is ready and able to carry your load?
The government would then take care of us all. And when you say all, you mean ALL. The weak, the lazy, the dishonest, the worthless would be placed on the same plane as the strong, the active, the honest, and the worthy. Every man could put his trust-and his weight-on good old Uncle Sam, and quit worrying about the future, about thrift, and saving, and working, and being useful. Every man would become a ward of the government, dependent on that government for a secure future, regardless of anything and everything. What would become of the virtues and characteristics that made America, and how we would develop strong men and women on which to build our abiding national future, the do-gooders never state. Why try to do something for yourself, for the nation, for humanity, when the government takes care of everything, and as the old song goes, "drives all care away"? Where will our future strength come from, when the government puts a premium on weakness?
According to Historian lfarry Elmer Barnes, more than a hundred years ago a French scientist by the name of Berthelet said: "Within a century we'll know about the atom. Then God will come down with His white beard, swinging a bunch of keys, and say: 'Closing time, gentlemen.'" ***
Heard two men in a coffee shop talking about Russia. One said: "Do you suppose Russia has the atom bomb already?" And the other answered: '1Of course not! We're still here, aren't we?"

San Francisco, May 4-President A. S. Murphy of The Pacific Lumber Company announced today the appointment of Kbnneth Smith as his assistant.
The nerv member of the executive staff of The Pacific Lumber Company has spent a lifetime in the lumber industry in various capacities, and for the past eight years has been president of the California Redwood Association which post he is resigning to accept his new position.
Judge Harry Neubarth, presiding judge of San Fran. cisco's Municipal Court, was the speaker at the meeting of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club. held April 20 at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco. The title of the talk was "Lights and Shadows in a Court Room." The speaker was introduced by Jack Eyman, deputy district attorney of San Francisco.
President Wayne Rawlings presided, and there was a good attendance.
The next meeting of the club will be held May 18 in the Comstock Room, Palace Hotel. The Standard Oil Company will exhibit a motion picture entitled "The Amazon Awakens."
Long-Bell Lumber Co. announced the purchase of two sawmills and extensive timber holdings of the Gardiner Lumber Co., Gardiner, Ore. Long-Bell President J. M. White said the purchase represents an investment of $5 million and is a major step in the company's expansion program.
The new mills produce approximately 92 million board feet annually. One mill is at Reedsport. Ore., on the Oregon coast, and the other at Gardiner, 3 miles north. Mills employ about 200.
Timberlands involved are 75,000 acres, of which about 92/o is Douglas fir. Interspersed with the new holdings is a large unestimated quantity of Government-owned timber. These tracts are adjacent and southwest of I-ongBell's Vaughn properties.
White said the timber supply is such that it can be logged on a sustained yield basis. In short, no more will be cut annually than is grown.
J. H. Kenesson, general manager of Long-Bell's Longview division, will be in general charge of the new properties. J. M. Adams rvill be superintendent of both mills.
Harbor Plywood Corp. of California recently received their first shipment of Philippine Mahogany panels since the war. They are of dark red ribbon grain.
The Wall Street Journal tells the story of the traveler in the Ozarks who ate dinner with a mountain family, and was told there was no cre:un available for his coffee. The mountaineer said they hadn't had any milk since their dog died last summer. Of course the traveler wanted to know the connection, and the hill-billy said:
"He brought in the cows."
Which induces me to repeat one of my favorite Ozark stories of the same type. The man of the house was sick, and the mountain doctor was surrunoned to attend him.
Visalia Lumber Company, Visalia, has built a new office building, which contains in addition to their office a display room for builders hardware, paints, and plumbing fixtures. Ray Noble, Jr., is manager.
He found the fellow tired and run down, and advised rest and plenty of good food, and suggested to the wife that she give her husband two or three drinks of whiskey daily, as a stimulant. She replied that they did not have a bit of whiskey in the house. The doctor said:
"FIow can that be? When I was here just a month ago when your boy was sick, I saw nearly a whole barrel of whiskey there in the corner."
And she plaintively explained:
"That's so Doc, but you know yoreself that one little ole barrel o' whiskey don't last'long with a family so pore they cain't afford to keep a cow."
Secretary-treasurer Jim Overcast of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39, Oakland, announces that the club now has the largest membership in its history There are 2lO paid-up members, and seven honorary members, a total of 217.

The picture shor,vs what the first yard of White Brothers, pioneer hardwood dealers of San Francisco, looked like in 1872, the year the business was founded by Peter and Asa L. White.
The yard was located in the 200 block on Market Street, next to the gore where Market Street and California Street intersect, adjoining where the Fife Building now stands. The yard had the particular advantage of having frontage on both Market and California Streets.
White Brothe:'s r,vill move to their fifth location in the T6years of their existence in a few months from now- The new yard rvill be located on Oakdale Avenue, just off Bay Shore Boulevard.
Washington-Private homes completed in April are valued at $500 million, 5/o above the March figure and 6l% above April 1947, the Commerce Department reported.
Home building has been on the increase since February, when a seasonal low of $400 million worth of homes were put in place.
Total nern' construction in April is estimated at $1,269 million by the Commerce Department. This is a 9/o in' crease over the revised March total of $1,166 million. The departmeni said the increase was "somewhat smaller" than the normal seasonal advance between March and April. However, it added that April construction was 37/o higher than in the same month last year.
Total new private construction activity in April amounted to $990 million, also 5/o higher than in March' Within this total, farm and public utility construction increased along with residential construction, while a small decline occurred in non-residential building. Industrial construction, representing more than two-fifths of all non-residential building, was valued at $115 million, continuing its steady decline of the past 16 months, the department said.
In the public construction field, all types spurted during April, the total reaching a level Z4/o above March. Publig non-residential building and highway and sewer construction shorved the most marked increases, all registering a more than seasonal gain.
"Out of business now six years, but your paper has become a household necessity."

Wood-decay and damage from termites cause industrial maintenance problems that are big. TTre men who face these problems need help.
When you show them, or the contractors who handle their work, that the extra cost of "Wolmanized" pressure-treated lumber is less than the cost of replacement labor alone, you have an "in" with that account.
And when you show them service records which prove that this pressure-treated lumber lasts 3 to 5 times as long rul ordinary wood you have made a lifetime customer.
Industrial accounts are steady, profitable and good pay. Wolmanized pressure-treated lumber gives you a sure way to get your share. Address all inquiries to American Lu"'ber & Tleating Company.

Washington, D. C., May Z-Honie building construction figures for the first quarter of 1948, made public today by Federal Housing Administration Commissioner Franklin D. Richards. tend to bear out the belief that the current year may prove to be a record twelve-month period. These figures show that more than twice as many new dwelling units were started in the first three months of 1948 under FHA inspection than were started under similar conditions in 1947.
More than four times as many dwelling units, built under FHA inspection, were completed in these first three months than in the same period last year.
Twice as many new construction applications were received during the first three months of 1948 as were filed during that period in 1947.
In addition to the operations cited there was a gain of 2l/' in applications for FHA mortgage insurance covering existing structures over such applications in 1947.
The first quarter figures on which these statements are based are:
1. New dwelling construction starts under FHA inspection were 60,432 in 1948 compared with 26,562 in 1947; a gain of IZ8/o.
2. Dwelling units completed under FHA inspection, 51,479 units in 1948 compared with 71,798 in 1947; a gain of 336/o.
3. Applications, covering new construction for the first three months of 1948. 178,435 compared with 76,909 in 1947; a gain of 132%.
4. FHA applications covering existing structures, 43,186 as compared with 35,638 in 1947; a gain of Zl/o.

No ten-year period in the history of the lumber industrY has witnessed more significant developments in private forestry than those which have taken place during the past decade in the Douglas fir region of Western Oregon and Washington.
The fact that timber is a crop, like wheat or corn or apples, has become an accepted principle. Once the timber crop has grown it must be harvested, for it 'costs money to grorv trees and their harvest and use must bear the charges. Of equal importance is general recognition of the fact that on the manner of harvesting each crop depends the future of the industry. We are in the throes of a full scale reversal of the theories which, for many valid reasons, governed the industry for nearly a century.
Within the past ten years the Douglas fir lumber industry inaugurated the Tree Farm program which is a serious industrial timber-growing enterprise. Approximately 20 per cent of the privately-owned forest land in the region is already officially enrolled in the program, and thousands of acres are being added to the total yearly.
The companies. participating in this program have pledged their lands to the continuous growing of Iorest crops which will help provide continuous revenue to the communities they support, and to the state and nation as well.
There are today three important reasons why industrial forest lands of the area are being managed. for continuous production. First, it has been demonstrated that {orest
land can be adequately protected from fire if funds commensdrate with the values at stake are expended for fire protection. Tree Farm owners are now spending 20 to 30 cents every year to protect each acre, whereas they were spending as little as 4 to 5 cents an acre ten years qgo. This gives the long-term timber grower assurance that there will be a crop to harvest when his trees are ripe. Secondly, timber is ,being grown today because it is generally realized that the accidental old-growth raw material supply is definitely limited and that future wood supplies must come from man grown forests. Lastly, the expanding market for wood of all sizes, shapes and complexions assures the financial success of a private timbergrowing investment.
The Tree Farm and the Keep Green programs of the Douglas fir industry have achieved phenomenal results in cutting down the acreage burned over each year. Intensive fire protection consists o{ supplementing the existing protection furnished by the state and the private fire associations with better fire detection facilities; more rapid communication, including radio; better access through improved road systems, and the use of modern mechanized fire suppression equipment. Private foresters have been the leaders in the development of this highly successful type of forest protection.
Fire protection is of primary importance because if the timber-growing investment is to be jeopardized at any time throughout its life, private capital just won't grow timber. Once satisfactory fire protection has been established, the next step is application of common sense forest harvesting principles to assure rooting of a second crop by natural means on every area harvested.
This means leaving seed-distributing trees in such a way that they will not be blown down or destroyed by fire. This is done in several ways, depending on the species of tree, the topography and the local climate.
During years of experience the industry has educated (Continued on Page 28)

itself in this respect, and the methods developed were enacted into law in Oregon in 1941 and in Washington in t945.
Today every acre of private land logged in the two states must have its tim,ber harvested in a manner guaranteeing that the area will be reclothed with a second crop of commercial species. Where there has been poor judgment in the planning of logging or hard luck in fire protection, the Tree Farm areas which fail to restock must be reforested artificially. fn practice this applies to less than 10 per cent of the total area. It is simply a matter of good business, as no private timber grower can afford to cairy lands which are not producing wood.
Tax delinquent cut-over lands, the perennial bad boy of the pioneer era in every forest region, have practically ceased to exist in this part of the world, simply because this type of land has now come into its own as the growin.g space for supplies of industrial wood.
The shot in the arm which the expanding market for forest materials has given Douglas fir forestry is momentous. Who would have dared to predict ten years ago that today several hundred million board feet of slash fire fuel and forest floor debris would be harvested annually from cut-over areas logged in the previous four or five years to satisfy the demand of saws, digesters and lathes for a variety of forest commodities? Even more amazing is the fact that such low grade sarvmill leftovers as slabs, edgings and trim are furnishing high grade rau' material for defibration processes turning out hard and soft boards.
Even more significant is the trend toward integrated forest utilization which is becoming more and more pronounced in the Pacific Northwest. Highly integrated centers of forest manufacturing exist today in the SheltonMcCleary, Everett and Longview areas in Washington, and in the St. Helens and Portland areas in Oregon. Similar centers are planned or developing in the Eugene-Springfield and Coos Bay areas of Oregon. Tacoma, incidentally, has changed its designation {rom "The Lumber Capitol of the World" to "The Forest Products Capitol of the World." Products Capitol of the World."
Integrated forest utilization means, of course, the converting of each class of forest raw material into the highest
value product it will make. The effect of this more complete utilization on industrial timber-growing is clear. The ,better the uses to which wood can be put, the more that will be required, and the better the forest management that will be economically possible.
Attention is being focused more and more sharply on the increasing number of professionally trained foresters who are taking their places in the forest industries as an integral part of the business.
A decade ago there were no more than a dozen or so private foresters in the entire Douglas fir region. Today there are more than 200 in addition to 44 consulting forestry firms employing more than 75 foresters. These totals do not include approximately 300 trained foresters employed by the industry as harvesters of the timber crop or as technicians in forest products manufacturing. To these men must go much of the 'credit for spearheading private forestry progress.
It is worth remarking that during the past decade in the Douglas fir region between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 were spent for fire protection alone. To a large extent the lands being protected rvere the lands which will be furnishing the nation's forest products ?5 and 5O and even 100 years from today. It means that private forestry has been permanently established in the Pacific Northwest. ft means we're in business not for just today and tomorrow, but for the long pull.
Fifteen per 'cent of America's timber supply is located on farms. Individual owners of these small forest tracts are at a disadvantage in selling a few sawlogs or a hundred or so feet of piling. fn some places this is helped by a cooperative, or a marketing association.
In one instance 80 to 90 woodlot owners organized a cooperative, hired a logger-manager and got some light equipment. The logger-manager could take an order for 1,500 cords of pulpwood and eight carloads of piling and get the right price for it. With his advice, the material was cut to standard and there was little loss from cull.
The cooperative's equipment handled the heavier items, such as saw logs. For several years this system has paid the members stumpage and wages and distributed a substantial profi t besides.

f The Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service was developed as a special selling tool to help retail lumber dealers strengthen their position inthe small home field. strengthen it against every encroaching form of competition.
Broad in concept and usefulness, it was acclaimed as the most complete and authentic home building service. a veritable encyclopedia of home planning and home building information.
This service brought to the lumber dealer scores of modern small home designs, together with blueprints, specifications, material lists
and easy estimating forms. Every home is architect-designed and STeyerhaeuser engineered.
To keep this a vital, living service, the plan proposed that each month a new design was to be added. a thoroughly rnodern design, fresh, crisp, new . . . thus refecting modern trends and assuring that the latest and best of construction practices and materials would always be included in the designs. so that the 4-square Home Building Service would continue to be the best available.
The promise of growth is being fulfilled each and every month a new design is released to lumber dealers for insertion in their Big Book of 4-Square home designs each month a rich cargo of promotional material pertinent to the current design reaches lumber dealers.
Each month the retail lumber dealer who uses this service strengthens his position in the small home field because his T7'eyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service is growing, expanding and increasing in value.
The dust is on the highway That leads around and down, The footpath and the byway, That leads away from town. The dust is on the highway, And on the soul o' me, Oh, God o' love, that my way, Should lead me far from thee. But blythe will be the highway
Begirt with blooms and dew, Dear heart o' mine, when my way, Shall lead me back to you.
That I am unable to appreciate that Platonic yearning of soul for soul, that deep calling unto deep, of which I have read, is my misfortune rather than my fault. It appears to me too much like voting the Prohibition ticket, or playing poker with Confederate currency.
When I love a woman, I love her up one side and down the other. I may be an uncultured and barbaric noddle, but I want to get hold of her and bite her neck. I want to cuddle her sunny curls on my heaving shirt-front, when I talk to her. I believe with Tennyson in the spirits rushing together at the touching of the lips, and I just crowd up and let 'em rush.
Some men MAY esteem wornen for their society, with never a thought of sex, but that isn't love. Love, as I understand the term, is to friendship's non-consuming flame, what the fierce glare of the noonday sun is to the mild radiance of the harvest moon. ft is something that makes two persons of the opposite sexes absolutely necessary to each other. It is a glory in which the soul is bathed; an almost savage melody that beats within the blood. Love is not altogether of the earth earthly. It is born of the spirit as well as the flesh; of the perfume as well as the beauty, of the great red rose.

Frank J. Connolly, president of the \Mestern Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, has returned from a menth's visit to the Hawaiian Islands.
In a newspaper interview, which appeared in a Honolulu paper, Mr. Connolly reported that he rvas in the Islands because he is interested in "the orderly distribution of koa lumber throughout the United States." He added: "There is no place else in the world where koa grows. It should be distributed fairly; there is romance and history to koa. It must be presented properly to the people of America so that they rcalize and appreciate what they are getting."
Mr. Connolly said that in his home at Los Angeles he has built a koa lanai to "demonstrate its: beauty and its appeal to those attempting to express the flavor of the South seas. The grain, figure and texture of koa wood are perf ect."
Accompanying Mr. Connolly on the trip were Mrs. Connolly; John B. Veach, president of the Hardwood Corporation of America, Washington, D.C., and Mrs..Veach; John Roney, president of the Safway Steel Scaffolds Co. of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Roney.

"Again I san as f have told you before, your editorials are too valuable to be confined to the lumber industry. You seem to be always on the right track. Thank God somebody is."
Chas. G. Bird, Stockton, California.
It could be. \\'e think so. The results of a recent inr-estigation of odd-length lumber in house building were startling.
As a means of conserving the lumber supply and producing the best grades of lumber possible, the revised rules of the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection specified that a reasonable number of odd lengths might be included in shipments of random lengtl-r common lumber.
This rer.ision brought protests from several sources. Three retail associations filed official objections in the form of resolutions condemning odd foot lengths of dimension lumber and small timber as "not acceptable in most residential construction."
There can be no doubt that these resolutions rvere offered in all sincerity. They command respect.
There are several points on which the framers of the resolutions and the lumber manufacturers are in complete agreement. Both have an interest and a stake in the conservation of our timber resources. Both .ivish to see lumber used to the best advantage, in an economically profitable way, rvith a minimum of waste. Both wish to see established procedures interrupted as little as possible.
It is not impossible that a fuller understanding of the situation can lead to agreement in the matter of lengths.
In the process of manufacturing lumber at the mill a considerable amount of trimming is necessary. Splits, checks and other defects must be trimmed in order to Dro-
r.ide the trade with the best-graded, best-manufactured lumber we can produce. It has been the practice of the industry in all of these cases to trim 2' or multiples of.2', although in many instances a 1' trim would have served the purpose.
The manufacture of odd length common lumber is not nerv. Douglas fir mills in Western British Columbia provide a practical example of the savings which can be made.
These mills were compelled to supply a specific amount of odd lengths in their shipments to Europe, particularly the United Kingdom. This amounted usually to a minimunr of one-third of the shipment. The mills resisted the practice and adopted it only with reluctance in the middle 30's. Their experience over the past 10 or 12 years, however, has been that their recovery from the log was greater; more lumber went into the market ; less into the burner.
An argument offered in opposing odC lengths was the fact that studs are normally set at 16" and 24" centers, and rafters and framing at 24" centers. This of course is true. Still. there is always considerable trimrning on the site of any construction job.
\Ve rvere interested in finding out just horn' much trimming was done on the job site in the construction of an averag'e house, and how much of a saving could be effected there as u'ell as at the mill.
Three a\rerage, typical housing units in the process of construction in the Portland area \vere selected at random. Every piece of framing and sheathing in each of the tl.rree units rvas measured. What \ve \\rere after lvas the actual lengths used.
In the first house surveyed, a five-room unit, there rn'ere 9,015 feet of framing and sheathing lumber. Of this, 2,640 feet, or approximately 29 per cent, should have been odd

lengths which could have been used at a considerable saving and with no difficulty. An additional 1,046 feet, or approximately 12 per cent---of short lengths 4 feet and 5he11s1-66uld have been cut from odd lengths.
Thus approximately 41 per cent of the framing and sheathing lumber used in this house could have been odd length lumber.
A total of 1,556 pieces were used. Of these, 315 should have been cut from odd lengths. An additional 579 pieces could have ,been cut from either odd or even lengths. Thus substantially more than half of the pieces used should or could have been cut from odd lengths.
The detailed breakdown of the pieces of lumber used covers six single-spaced typewritten pages. A few examples will shcrv the extent of the on-the-job trimming required, as well as the waste which would have been eliminated if cdd length pieces had been used.
There were two 6 x 8 beams, one of which was 16' 3" long, the other 16' 5". These should have been trimmed from a 17' beam; instead they were trimmed from an 18' beam.
There were fourteen 2 x 4 studs g 10" and fifteen 2 x 4 studs 67 11". These should have been cut from a 7' piece, but were cut from an 8' piece-with avoidable waste resulting. Twenty-seven pieces qf 1 x 6 sheathing were 12' 8" long and should have been trimmed from a 13'piece.
Going a step further, it was found that in numerous instances no trimming at all would have been required had odd lengths been available.
There were, for instance, nine 2 x 8 ceiling joists 13' long-which had to ,be trimmed from 14' pieces. Four pieces of 1 x 8 sheathing were 9 long. One piece of 1 x 8 sheathing was 13'; two were 15'; eight were l7'; one was 19'.
This sarnpling is sufficient to show that far from being "not acceptable," a reasonable number of odd length pieces would materially reduce on-the-job work.
Similar figures were found to apply in the two other units examined. These units (four rooms apiece) were connected, and together had a total of 10,969 feet of framing and sheathing lumber. Of this total, 2,953 feet, or approximately 27 per cent, should have been odd lengths. An additional 690 feet, or approximately 6 per cent-short lengths 4 feet and shorter-could have been cut from odd lengths.
A little pencil work shows that in these two units ap-
For the three units, the average of odd length lumber which might have been used was approximately 36 per cent. Clearly this indicates that a substantial saving is possible, and that in some instances odd lengths are a decided convenience.
From many years of experience in the lumber industry I am firmly convinced that we use too much lumber of too good grade in nearly all construction. With lumber now occupying a relatively higher price position in the building material field, the industry must give increased consideration to the proper use of lumber.
As part of this we should adopt wherever possible the use of odd lengths. Resistance to this move is only to be expected. N{ajor improvements of any kind have met rvith stout objections at their inception. It will be recalled that the adoption of grade-marking and of the American Lumber Standards were strongly opposed by both manufacturers and distributors, both of these forward steps are now generally approved.
The lumber manufacturer must produce from his timber the best grades and specifications possible. In the interest of conservation he must find a market for the entire product his logs will produce.
In recent years the lumber distributors have made a definite contribution toward conservation by the acceptance and distribution of random lengths and random grades. Through their resourcefulness a proper use has in most cases been found for the entire product of the mill.
It is the hope of the manufacturing industry that the distributors will continue to render this very valuable service and that they rvill in addition assist in the further savings made possible by reasonable use of odd lengths.
San Francisco, Calif., May 3, 1948--4, neu- red'rvood remanufacturing plant is being constructed by the Rounds and Kilpatrick Lumber Company, a ne\\' corporation, just north of Asti, California, and four miles south of Cloverdale, or-r Highway 101, and on the Nclrthn'estern ltacific Railroad.
The company has purchased approximatell' 44 acres of land from Fred Vadon and is installing the follow"ng cquipment: heavy-duty horizontdl Turner resaw, lumber sorter, Rees Blorv Pipe Company refuse burner, Stetson Ross high-speed planer, beveled siding resa\\r, and other ttnits required for such a plant.
Plans incltrde construction of dry kilns, later this year.
Construction was started in January, but the rvork has been retarded by u'et r'veather, delaying the grading, rocking and oiling of a large part of the property.
This plant u'ill l-randle lumber from a number of miils located in Nlendocino .and Humboldt counties. Already there is a considerable amount of lumber being air-driccl at the plant site.
The res:rrv and sorter should be in operation u'ithin the next two or three weeks; the matcher rvill be in operation soon thereafter. When the plant is operating at full capacity, it will employ 25 to 40 men per S-hour shift. I'lans, now, are to run the plant trvo S-hour shifts as sool1 ns possible.

Titus, executive secretary of the Association. it is argued that :
"If irublic access roads are built ltidders for stumpage need finance 'lvith their ou'n funds orrly those roads from the main public road to their particular operation, and this permits sale of stumpage in smaller ltlocks rvhich can be financed b1-the average as rvell as the largest operators. A proper system of access roads permits the spreading of harvesting operations over a large area insteacl of concentrating them in one location. \\re urge that apllropriati<ln for Forest Road Development be increased to at least l2 rnillion dollars. (The recommencled appropriation \\'as uncler $10,000,000.) "
The Association also recommended no cut in the budgeted am<iunt for cruising, appraising and sale of national forest tir.nber so that the liorest Serr-ice u-ould be able to make up sorne small sales r'vithin the reach of the independents. Such practice, it rvas pointed out in the letter, rvould reduce the 1>ressure on imuratttre second grou'th timber.
The letters also urged no cut for the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin.
Portland, Ore, Mav 7Shifts of two major western forestry Positions were revealed this rveek with the appointment of Stuart Moir as forestry counsel for ihe Western Forestry and Conservation association and of Ernest L. Kolbe as chief forester for the Western Pine Association sltcceeding Moir.
Both appointments are effective July 1.
dustry's forest activities in the 11 western states and South Dakota and will be assisted by forest engineers in the several districts of the Western Pine region. The association's forest program includes the preparation of forest management plans for private timberland owners, development of practical woods practices for handling timber as a crop, and directing the Tree Farm program rvithin the western pine region.
Moir in his new post will direct forest activities for one of the oldest and largest groups of its kind in the United States. Now in its 39th year, the Western Forestry artd Conservation association lists membership throughout the United States and Canada.
Following a year-and-a-half long study of Scandinavian forestry management and operations, Moir began his forestry career with the Laurentide Paper Company, Ltd., at Grand Mere, Quebec, where he developed plans for pulp operation. Among the first to be interested in the use of aircraft in forest fire detection and woods surveys, he spent several years in commercial aerial surveys and engineering in Canada, United States, Mexico and Central America.
Ernest L. Kolbe
Moir, for the past eight years head of the pine association's forestry department and for 25 years a prominent figure in North American forestry circles, r,r'ill succeed E. T. F. Wohlenberg who recently resigned his Western Forestry post to become general manager of the Masonite corporation's Ukiah, Calif., operation.
Kolbe since 1944 has been southern Oregon-California district forest engineer for the Western Pine Association in Klamath Falls, Ore., and Sacramento, Calif. He has been active in western forestry since 1928.
Graduating from the University of Minnesota school of forestry in 1927, Kolbe earned his master's degree at the Cornell University forestry school the following year and became associate silviculturist with the Pacific Northwest Experiment station in Portland. He later was placed irr charge of the Pringle Falls experimental forest near Bend and the Blue Mountain experimental forest near Baker, Ore. He was also dendrologist of the Wind River Arboretum, Wash.
From 1940 to 1942 he was project leader of the U. S. Department of Agriculture flood control survey in California and during the war served as an ecologist for the Emergency Rubber project in Los Angeles.
Kolbe is vice chairman of the Northern California section of the Society of American Foresters, of which he is a senior member, and a member of the Ecological Society of America. As head of the Western Pine association's forestry department, he will counsel the pine in-
Moir later became district forest engineer in California for the Western Pine association and then associate regional conservator in the southwest for the soil conservation service. Subsequently he rvas director of soil conservation.for the Department of Interior, leaving that post in 1940 to become chief forester for Western Pine in Portland.
Moir is a director of the Pacific Logging congress, Keep Oregon Green and Keep Washington Green committees, and a senior member of the Society of American Foresters and the Canadian Society of Forest Engineers.

Em,barking upon a long-range plan of product betterment, members of the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Associatiorr have moved tq institute industry-wide testing of their panel products and named C. W. Dietterich, a quality control authority, to effect the program.
Dietterich, for several years inspector for Douglas Fir Plywood Association, the trade-promotion organization for Pacific Northwest panel makers, is the new managing director of the southern plywood organization. He was named at a recent annual meeting of the group at its Atlanta, Ga., headquarters.
At the same time, the southern ,manufacturers elected E. B. Meyercord of Mobile, Ala., association president and Joseph Gall of Dillon, S. C., vice president. Meyercord is president of Meyercord Compound Lumber Co., and Gall is manager of Wilson Smith Veneer Co.
Board members named include Norman M. Mclnnis, Jr., general manager of Bacon-McMillan Mfg. Co. of Stockton, Ala.; G. Colucci, president of Southern Box & Lbr. Co. of Wilmington, N. C., and V. L. Toussaint, president oT Perry County Plywood Corp. of Beaumont, Miss. The two officers also serve as board members.
In selecting the Tacoma, Wash., man to head their new industry program of production improvement, southern plywood manufacturers are patterning their undertaking after the outstandingly successful quality control program maintained by fir plywood producers of the Pacific Northwest. Testing of plywood from the various member firms of the southern organization constitutes the initial step;
other dev.:lopments in the over-all program will follow later.
In addition to several years experience in inspection of plywood production, Dietterich also is familiar with actual plywood production having worked at Elliott Bay Mill Co. at Seattle. He is a forestry graduate of University of California. During the war, he served as.captain in the corps of engineers.
The Southern Plyr,r'ood Manufacturers Association is comprised of firms operating 28 factories in seven southeastern states. They produce hardrvood plywood both in stock panel sizes and for furniture uses. The association was formed in 1946.
H. I,t. Blackshear, Jr., who has been managing director of the southern plywood trade association since its incep. tion, has accepted a position as assistant attorney general for the state of Georgia and is assigned to the state highway department.
Trinity National Lumber Corp. began operations on May 1 at their mill at Fort Seward, Humboldt County, Calif. The mill is a modern, steam electric plant, with 9-foot band saw, 7-foot resaw, slasher, and 13-saw overhead air trimmer. It will have an estimated production of 125,000 feet per 8-hour shift. They expect to distri,bute their Douglas fir lumber solely in the California market, and sales will be handled through the San Francisco office in the Balboa Building.
Officers of the corpor4tion are Charles H. Noble, president; F. A. Dudley, Jr., vice president and treasurer; D. A. Hughes, secretary, and Carl E. Streberg, resident manager.
The National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washington, D.C., has been presented with an American Trade Association Executives "Award of Merit" for its development and promotion of the Industry Engineered Homes Program. Placing second in the Large National Association classification of the ATAE awards, the NRDLA rvas cited for "outstanding service to the industry which it represents as well as to the American Public."
The A#ard of Merit was presented at the AT,AE 13th National Au'ards Luncheon at the Statler Hotel, Washington, D.C., April 26, 1948. David Bruce, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Commerce, made the presentation of the avi'ard to Secretary-Manager H. R. Northup.
The NRLDA received the first ATAE award in its history entirely on the public service value of its development and promotion of lbwer cost homes for American hotleseekers through the IE Homes Program.
Each of the Federated Associations who are promoting the IE Homes Program in the field and who make up the National Association will be sent a replica of the National award for their part in making the program a success.
The over-all objectives of the IE Homes Program are three in number:
1. To meet America's need for lorver cost homes without sacrificing essential standards and quality. This program, it was pointed out, ll'as not a "lloverty housing" program, but was designed to develop means of lorvering the cost of home construction regardless of the price level existing at any given time.
2. To provide smaller contractors everywhere rvith the coordinated materials, methods and designs generally available to large-scale operative builders.
3. To meet the challenge of public housers, in and out of government, and to prove that private enterprise could provide the homes needed by America.
Such ideological objectives had to be translated into practical terms.
The practical objectives, therefore, were five in number:
A. To secure cooperation betrveen the manufacturing and distributing elements in the building industry essential to the continuous flow of coordinated modular materials rvhich could be combirfed with the least lost time and waste.
B. To study methods, designs and or-r-site construction procedures and to publish the resulting recommendations for the benefit of all those engaged in small home construction.
C. To stimulate local building industry interest in and acceptance of the Program.
D. To inform the public of the industry's research and results and to explain the possible benefits of the program to the American homeseeker.
E. 'Io promote actual local construction of model homes incorporating the principles and procedures recommended for use in small ho4re construction.

Eugene, Ore.-Associated Plywood Mills, Inc., has completed plans and approved contracts for a $500,000 sawmill at Roseburg, Ore. Capacity will be 100,000 board feet daily.
The plant will be located on property adjacent to where the firm has a 16-acre log pond. Ample room also is provided for a projected plywood plant. Logs will come from the company's stand of more than 25,000 acres of virgin timber.
At the annual meeting here, President Leonard Nystrom told stockholders that additional ner,v equipment recently was installed at plants at Eugene and Willamina (Ore.), which will increase the combined annual production of Douglas fir plywood to 175 million square feet annually.
New officers of the corporation are Nystrom, president and board chairman; E. S. Wentjar, vice president; Lynn Norman, secretary; Miles E. Batchelor, treasurer, and Wallace O. Greig, comptroller.
Norem Ottosen is sales manager and Henry G. Champeaux is manager of logging and timber departments.
Pacific Northwest plywood industry expansion in California for processing of redwood is indicated by a M. & M. Woodworking Co. stock offering. The company operates plywood and door mills in Washington and Oregon. The new stock issue is expected to raise about $5 million, part of which rvould be used to finance a $1.5 million mill at Eureka, Calif., to produce plywood from California redwood. Most of the stock issue, however, would go for control of Douglas fir stands in Oregon.

Washington, D. C., April 27, l948-Testifying today in behalf of the Southern Pine industry, General Joseph B. Fraser of Hinesville, Georgia, told a subcommittee of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee that the Wage-Hour Law is based on a false philosophy, and that this had been pointed out time and again to Congress by eminently qualified individuals and groups.
"Most people in the Southern Pine industry," General Fraser said, "regard the Wage-Hour Law as useless; it is not needed in good times, and it won't work in bad times."
If Congress retains the Wage-Hour Law, it should exempt employees engaged in logging from overtime requirements of the law, the southern lumber spokesman declared. He promised there would be an immediate effect in the form of more production, and "this is certainly a desirable objective, in the face of the critical housing shortage with which Congress has concerned itself."
In passing the Wage-Hour Law in 1938, Congress realized the kinship between logging and agriculture by providing an exemption, which has been limited by the WageHour Administrator, the committee was told. Logging is entirely dependent upon the weather, the statement continued, and when weather is favorable long hours must be worked. The overtime penalty in this case has not spread employment; instead "it runs up production costs, or it discourages maximum production, or it restrains workers from making more money during the period they can do sd.tt
Other Southern Pine industry recommendations for amending the Wage-Hour Law, if it is retained by Congress, were that the minimum wage should not be disturbed, or that wage minima based on geography, cost of living, and industry differences should be established; that overtime payments should be abolished; and that executive and supervisory employees should be exempted from coverage of the Act.

Northwest Tree Farms have jumped9/o in acreage lvith request for certification of another 219,458 acres approved by the joint committee on forest conservation in Portland. The joint committee is composed of the Pacific Northlvest Loggers Association and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.
The nern'farms bring the total in Oregon and Washington to 1,744,151 acres, Coryden Wagner, Tacoma, chairman of the committee, reports.
Of the eight new farms, four are owned by the St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co., St. Helens, Ore., all in northrvestern Oregon and southwestern Washington. Largest, however, is the 155,205-acre Calapooys farm of Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. in the Eugene, Ore., area.

One of the most stubborn misconceptions among' lum,ber users-that the structural value of a piece of Douglas fir lumber is diminislied by the presence of white speck-has recently been exploded by a report from the Forest Products Laboratory of the U. S. Departrnent of Agriculture.
This is of far-reaching importance in the construction industry because in the past there has been a tender-rcy among' some building inspectors to refuse boards and dimension with white speck in the honest belief that the characteristic was dangerous decay.
At the instigation of A. A. Kayser, Bureau district supervisor in the Los Angeles area, the Forest Products Lab-
oratory examined representative samples of lumber having this characteristic, and reported favorably on its use.
Summarized, the Laboratory report stated that:
l. The durability of the pieces of Douglas fir containing rvhite speck would be no lower than heartwood free of white speck; their durability would be considerably greater than sapwood free of white speck.
2. If proper construction conditions prevail, a piece of sheathing, roof or sub-floor with white speck will have the same lasting quality as a neighboring piec.e rvithout white speck
3. The occurrance of white speck in Douglas fir could be expected to have no effect upon the subsequent durabilitv of the rvood.
4. The fungus Fomes pini, which produces the white speck in Douglas fir, dies when the lumber is dried so that it would not spread to neighboring pieces. If, horvever, the wood is used in a green condition and kept green it might spread.
By lvay of comment on the report it may be stated that it is impossible to keep lumber green, and that any lumber u'hich could be kept green might deteriorate. The warm dry climate of California guarantees that all decay action stops once the lumber is in the structure.
White speck is not a characteristic which indicates that the lumber has come from a dead tree. It is a characteristic found chiefly in mature, growing trees in certain areas. White speck occurs near the outside of the tree, where the knots are fewest, and such pieces consequently have a correspondingly higher value.
Since the structural value of the lumber is not impaired, the grading rules allow it in the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 grades in respective proportions.

Washington, D. C.; April 27, l948-"Legislating \\rages and hours of work by federal larv is fundamentally unsottnd and will be a disservice to those '"r'hom it purports to benefit," declared Walter S. Johnson, Pfesident of the American Box Company, San Francisco Mr. Johnson appeared today on behalf of the National Lumber Nlanufacturers Association before a subcommittee of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee holding hearings on proposed a-mendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Reiterating the lumber industry's opposition to the principle of legislating wages and hours by federal law, Mr. Johnson told the committee that the Wage-Hour Law should be repealed immediately.
If the Fair Labor Standards Act is not repealed, the minimum wage should not under any circumstances be increased, Mr. Johnson declared emphatically. An increase in the minimum rvage would have undesirable effects on the economy of the country both now and later, the lumber spokesman asserted. At the present time, an increase in the r,vages of the lorvest paid u'ould have a chain reaction effect on all wages since u'age differentials 'ivould be maintained through across the board raises. In periods of lessened activity, a wage level frozen at 6Oc -75c u'ould have the effect of accelerating unemployment, he explained.

To a suggestion that an increase in the federal minimum rvage woulcl be a competitive advantage to the high-r'vage Western lumber industry, Mr. Johnson, as one affiliated rvith several California lumber companies, replied that the issues are more important than local considerations. "The lumber indrrstry does not want the government to fix the rules of competition," he declared. "We will take real competition, ncw and all time."
The committee was told that it is imperative that the hours of u'ork limitation should be removed from the \Arage-Hour Law. "Today we need more and more production," Mr. Johnson declared, "yet rve continue, as a federal statute, a provision lvhich augments the labor shortage and which curtails production."
In addition, the lumber representative nrged that numerous other amendments should be made to the Wage-Hour Larv if it is allowed to remain on the statute books. Included amongthe lumber industry's recommendations were amendments to clarify the coverage of the act and define regular rate of pay to exclude bonuses, gifts and other premium payments, along r,r,ith legislation rvhich 'ivould broaclen the definition of exempted executive, administrative and professional employees.

Here's taby: These end views of Royal Oak Flooring show its improved design in tongue and groove, including eased edge on the lower groove to facilitate drawing up without forcing.
It's the craftsmanship that goes into the making of Royal Oak Flooring which accounts for its high standing with floor layers, as well as with owners who insist on quality.
