J-M Strongbord Roofers Afford Many Advantages

Johns-Manville has begun marketing its new Strongbord Roofers, a residential roof sheathing that has excellent insulation qualities and other important advantages.

Strongbord Roofers insulate up to four ard roof sheathing. Because of their high neous construction and V-Tite joints, they resistance.

three-quarters of an inch thick. They are fast and easy to apply and virtually elinrinate cutting waste, yet on jobs where rafters age spaced on l6-inch centers, their bracing strength exceeds that of common horizontal roof sheathing.

Furthermorg standard galvanized roofing nails can be used.

Strongbord Roofers are made of special wood fibers bonded together with selected bituminous compounds to form a dense, rigid panel of exceptional strength and high moisture resistance. The bitumen forms an integral bond between fibers all the way through the sheet and this, coupled with a special sealer coat, gives Strongbord Roofers their high weather resistant quality.

A Growing lnvestment

The white-collar worker who sits at a desk and longs for his own tree farm is doing something about it.

American Forest Products Industries, the national Tree Farm sponsor, reports that investment ownership of tree farms in the nation has jumped 23 per cent in the past 10 years-from 10 per cent to 33 per cent of all tree farm ownerships, including farm and industrial.

James C. McClellan, AFPI chief forester, says the investor usually has a dual motive-he not only wants the income from regular crops of trees, but he wants the multiple use v2luss-wsod, lvater, wildlife, recreation and soil stabiliza:tion.

"We find that in most cases, when a school teacher, a bank clerk, a lawyer or some other investor, buys a tract of land and starts growing trees, he (or she) is nearly always driven by the urge to get outdoors and enjoy the woods, even if only for the weekend."

Fortunately, said NlcClellan, all of the extra benefits of tree farming are compatible with the main purpose-that of providing wood for forest products. Without more than 5,000 wood-derived items used every day, the nationls standard of living would drop sharply. The forest industries provide fulltime jobs for nearly a million and a half employees who take home an annual pay envelope of about $6 billion.

The investors, like most other tree farmers, know that all picnic and no payroll is a poor substitute for satisfaction.

And profit from tree farms is no longer limited to income from timber sales. More and more are tree farmers recognizing the opportunities for making their timberlands available for public recreation-at a fee. Mounting evidence indicates that the public is happy to pay a fee for such prlvrl fishin ivileges, especially carnping, hunting, picnicking and nlng.

Add soul satisfaction to the pleasure-profit motive and the increase in the investment you have the full answer to ownership, said McClellan.

Lumber Stqtistics

Lumber mills belonging to the California Redwood Asso,ciation showed an increase in shipments during 1961 while shipments of other western lumber mills declined, the Association has disclosed.

Comparing year-end shipment reports by trade associations, the Califo,rnia Red'wood Association said the collective shipments of its six member mills (Arcata Redwood Company, Georgia-Pacific Corporation, The Pacific Lumber Company, Simpson Timber Company, Union Lumber Company, and Willits Redwood Products Company) rose 2.2 per cent in 1961. In the same period, shipments from the Douglas fir region dropped 6.8 per cent, and shipments from the Western pine region dropped eight-tenths of one per cent. Shipments from the Redwood Region as a whole -including members of the Association and non-members -were brought to a net loss of nine-tenths of one per cent by declining shipments from non-member mills.

The Association said its members were also the only group among those surveyed who shipped more lumber in 1961 than in 1959.

At Fontqineblequ

My love and I to Fontainebleau

Drove through the slanting, silver rain; Never was fairer rvay to go

Than that same road to Fbntainebleau

For slender dreams were blossoming: It: cloth o-f gold and.mauve, the spr-ing, Through fragrant rarn, Was oftering.

Fluttering leaves at Fontainebleau

Where sheated in silver as a sword. Were starred r,r'ith many a pearl. and O, Our hours were short at Fontainebleau ! AIl other da]'s may pass and fade

But not this-one that love had made

For our reward

In light arrayed.

Do you remember the FontainebleauThis swift turned tree, that drorvsy bloom, Such- song from lark and thrush as ihough Our hearts were pierced at Fontainebleari?

I can recall your softest sigh

That as a white moth drified bv. And each perfume, And our-goodbye.

-Elizabeth Shaw Montgomery
