Western Pine Home Moved to Burlingame

San Francisco, Calif., April 25th-The Western Pine Home, one of the most popular exhibits at the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition on Treasure Island, was moved onto a barge,on April 19th and towed down San Francisco Bay to its new location near Burlingame in San Mateo County. Built by the Western Pine Association in the Homes and Gardens section on the Exposition grounds, this attractive exhibit home drew record-breaking crowds at last year's Fair when over 1,125,00O persons visited it.

The nerv owner, the Lang Realty Corporation of this city, is now setting up this Cape Cod home in a new sub-division known as "Burlingables," which they are developing near Burlingame, only 17 miles south of San Francisco on U. S. Highway 101.

What a wonderful thing is an interesting thought! The other day I filched from the column of a.friend of mine an epitaph. And in that little, simple inscription, alleged to be taken from a headstone in an English cemetery, I found a thought that pleased and intrigued me so that I have annoyed my friends and family by reciting it on all possible occasions. It goes like this:

*:F{<

Here lies poor Jimmy Pumblequod. Have mercy on him, gracious God. I know HE would, if HE were GodAnd YOU were Jimmy Pumblequod.

Read that over a couple of times and see if you don't get a "kick" out of it. The thought was so entirely new, was evidently why it caught and holds my fancy. Just the Golden Rule in reverse, that's all. "Do unto others." ***

It is that same thought that was voiced by a certain clear tfiinker long ago, who liad lived well and slipped a cog or two in his time, off the straight and narrow. A friend asked hirn one day what he would do or say if he were to be suddenly brought before the throne of God and asked about his sins. He said: "I would simply say to the Lord-'Do to others as you would have others do to yon-"' I always thought that was a grand answer; and so, evidently, did the writer of the epitaph over the grave of poor Jimmy Pumblequod'

Truly, a person never knows when he writes something that "clicks." In this column last issue, I wrote, sent it

to the printer, and then forgot it, the following: ,,Sooner or later the gorilla men who now threaten the peace of the world, will go back to the darkness and foulness from whence they thyself' will and 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as again become the basic law of civilized people. will probably be dark days in between; that shall prevail over lvrong, love over hate, force-I have not the slightest doubt. You mountains of such assurance in the New The returns I have had from that paragraph from good friends in many places, has made me humbly grateful. And it shows how hungrily men are groping for sunshine in these dark days.

Shakespeare wrote that the heel of the conqueror would never reach the throat of Britain, and that even though three'fourths of the world turned against her, she would prevail. Shakespeare was to all the other writers in history what ttre mighty ocean is to the purling brook. And now it remains to be seen what sort of prophet he was. For the gorilla men have England on her five-yard line, and nearer to her goal line, than she has ever been before in her long history. But how often have you seen a football team defend its home goal from the one-foot line, and then go on to glorious victory? As a matter of fact, that's the way most great battles are won. Remember, it's always darkest just before dawn, or, as the colored crapshooter stated it-"de biggest possurns allus trot, jus' befo'dawn." ***

I realize full well how rapidly events are happening in

Europe. Before the movie newsreel can tell you what is happening in the defense of some small European country, that country has already been destroyed. No man knoweth what may happen in Europe before these lines are in print. But I believe, looking at the situation in amateurish fashion and entirely aside from my spiritual faith in the eventual rule of right, that Hitler must win quickly, if he is to win at all. I have read much about the amount of motor fuel and motor oil and other supplies of that character that are required to operate the German mechanized arrny a single hour, and the fact remains that there is not enough of those materials inall Europe to supply that army for sixty days at the rate they are now consuming it. And r/hat will become of the mechanized units when their gas and oil run out?

Acknowledging the -""U"* ,l an" way of war preparations that the Hitler forces have made through the absolute consecration and concentration of every ounce of energy of an entire nation working 24 hours a day over a term of years preparing for this day, I still am unwilling to concede their infallibility. And when the first storm has been weathered by the Allies, and they get their armies on something like equal footing with the Germans, theirs will soon be the upper hand, and theirs the victory.

gium, anad Luxembourg, appear before that bar to tell fheir story of a government that knew neither honor nor pity as it destroyed in wholesale quantities a succession of defenseless and innocent nations that stood in the way of its march of horror; a government too foul for heaven and unfit for Hell. And that is the day the civilized world looks forward to.

And r trust.that *rr"r, Jrr"JaJ, "o*""-"s come it must -the Allies will have strength and vitality enough left to turn to the sulking Mussolini-who by his daily threats forces the Allies to keep a great army and navy watching him and thus far from the scene of combat in France-and say to him: "Now bring that ugly scowl of yours up to this bar of justice and explain, if you can, the part YOU played." I predict there will be no haughty scowl on that mug that day! In all of war-torn Europe he is playing the most inglorious Part'

Which reminds me of a story that is going the rounds (what would life be without a joke to enliven it?). One man said to another: "The Ethiopians are not nfrly as , uncivilized as they used to be, in their fights

Italians. They've really improved a lot." "How isffiat?" asked the other. "They don't cut 'em up near as smallr" was the reply.

Press dispatches from Germany-and their publicity and propaganda departments surpass even their mechanized fighting divisions for complete audacity-tell us that Hitler has already dictated and placed on paper peace he will force upon England and the chains that will forever af hands and feet

Copper-Bound Brand Shingfes and Units

After a century of the old ax method of making and applying wood shingles, an inventor has gone to work in the interest of the wood shingle industry and has perfected new and improved methods of manufacture as well as application, which eliminate the tremendous waste under the ax method.

Under this new method, the shingles arrive on the job with no shingle under 5" in r,r'idth, which enables the shingler to cope with F.H.A. requirements without throwing away the narrow shingles, or consuming too much time in laying them. Under the old method it has been obvious the consumer has paid double due to the fact the shingler demanded increased wages for laying the narrow shingles under F.H.A. requirements and yet at the same time a large percentage of shingles were thrown out because the shingler claimed he could not lay same and meet F.H.A. requirements.

The manufacturer of the Copper-Bound cedar shingle has not only eliminated from the bundle the narrow shingles which have caused all the trouble but cuts and packs specially prepared trim ready for application on the roof, thus

eliminating further waste and labor and giving the home owner a tailor-made job.

The ready-lay hip and ridge unit is beveled and bound together with two bands of copper; comes assembled fbr any pitch ; ready marked for easy spacing; contains 56 units per bundle, and each bundle will lay 23 lineal feet at standard exposure. With this hip and ridge unit you are assured of complete triple coverage and no exposed nails.

The under hip units cut for any pitch are packed 16 unit bundles per box and will lay 90 lineal feet at standard exposure which is more than generally recovered from a square of shingles. These handy under hip units are ap. plied along with the field and save the shinglers much time as well as adding to the tightness of the hip.

Valley cut units are cut for any pitch from 9" dimension stock insuring complete triple coverage. Again the shingler saves time, and takes n,o chance of cutting into the valley tin which so often happened with the old ax method. They are sold in lots of four bundles which will lay 90 lineal feet at standard exposure, which again is more than can be recovered from a square of shingles.

H. L. Owen, the inventor, having patents pending has formed a company, &nown as Copper-Bound Units Company,l2lO Subway Terminal Building, Los Angeles, and is glad to announce Fisk & Mason, 855 El Centro Street, South Pasadena, as distributors f'or this territory.

Somehow I know that those embattled Englishmen feel in their souls the truth of fhe words of their great poet who wrote:

"Oh well for him whose will is strongIIe suffers, but he cannot suffer long. Hc suffers, but he cannot suffer wrong." And further, when he speaks of that". unconquerable will, And courage, never to submit or yield."

Our instinctive sense of justice does not permit us to agree with John Stuart Mill, when he wrote: "In the contest for suprenracy, truth has no inherent advantage over error." It HAS! It ALWAYS \^IILL! As the Frenchman goes into battle singing his "Marseillaise," so the Englishman goes in, filled with the noble determination so well expressed by an English poet who said: "Never strike a sail to fear ! Come into port gt""tly, or sail with God the seas."

It was Gerald Massey who wrote:

"Old England still throbs with the Of a past she can never forget; fire, i And again shall she banner the world up higher, For there's life in the old land yet."

And I,m going to top o*f irri"**fo-n this time with an American poem of patriotism that is not nearly as well known as it should be. It was written by a man lots of us older fellows have seen and heard, but which the present generation has forgotten, I fear. He was Capt. Jack Crawford, who was known as "The poet scout," and here is bis fine offering:

"Oh beautiful emblem of Liberty

Oh star spangled Flag of the land

I love thee, Old Glory, with love

National Retail Directors' Annuaf Meeting

R. S. Finkbine Re-elected President

Washigton, D. C.., Muy 8.-Climaxing the 23rd annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, Washington, D. C., Ilfay 6 and 7, R. S. Finkbine, of Des Moines, Iowa, was reelected president. Other officers reelected were Carl Blackstock, Seattle, Wash., vice-president ; G. W. La Pointe, Jr., Menomonie, Wis., treasurer; and Frank Carnahan, Washington, D. C., secretary, Executive Committee members appointed by the president were: S. D. Baldwin, Jersey City, N. J., Don A. Campbell, Lebanon, Ky., R. S. Finkbine, Des Moines, Iowa, Paul S. Larsen, St. Paul, Nebr., Carl Blackstock, Seattle, 'Wash., W. W. Anderson, Ogden, IJtah, F. Dean Prescott, Fresno, Cal., and G. W. LaPointe, Jr., Menomonie, Wis.

The first subject that came before the Directors for discussion was the pending U. S. H. A. Bill, reported on by S. D. Baldwin, chairman of the Legislative Committee. This bill was passed by the Senate at the last session of Congress, but a rule to bring it out on the floor of the Ifouse was defeated. It would give the U. S. H. A. the authority to issue an additional $800,000,000 in bonds, increase the annual contributions of the government by $45,000,000, and provide $20O,000,000 for a program of rural housing.

'Ihe Directors wcnt on record as being unanimously opposed to extension of the activities of the U. S. H. A., and upon their instructions, Secretary Carnahan directed a letter to members of' the House Banking and Currency Committee telling them of the action of the Board of Directors, in the hope that the Banking and Currency Com-

mittee would decline to vote to ask the Rules Committee Ior a rule to bring the legislation out on the floor of the House.

All secretaries and dealers present were urged to contact their Congressman in regard to this legislation.

The meeting was interspersed with a great deal of argument in regard to Class 3, Title I, of the National Housing Act. Secretary Carnahan reported that the Washington office of the National Association has been deluged with requests that something be done to secure libt:ralization of the F. H. A. regulations under Class 3; and he askecl for instructions as to what to do about the matter. It was developed that there was objection, not oarticularly to the construction requirements, but to the regulations on propery standards, which are the same as under Title II of the Housing Act. A few of the Directors reported that they had been able to secure Class 3 loans, but it was evident that in most sections the administration of this part of the act is too rigid to afford any sizable volume of low-cost home building. With only one or trvo exceptions, the dealers reported that it is practically impossible to secure Class 3, Title I loans in rural sections or vacational areas. The Directors finally decided to submit this matter to the members of the F. H. A. Committee of the association and let them decide what steps should be taken for correction.

The Monday afternoon session was devoted almost entirely to discussion of the status of the retail lumber dealer under the Wage and Hour Act. The Directors received a report from S. D. Baldwin, chairman of. the Wage and Hour Committee of the association, on the activities of his committee. Several weeks ago it came to the attention of the National Association that the Wage and Hour Division was on the verge of issuing an opinion holding that sales to industrials and to building contractors are wholesale, and, in fact, designating the large part of every retail lumber dealer's sales as a wholesale transaction, and therefore subject to the Wage ancl Hour Law. President Finkbine appointed a Wage and Hour Committee, headed by Mr. Baldwin, to meet with the Wage and Hour officials and try to convince them that they were wrong in their proposed ruling.

A committee of about twenty men, including deal-

F. Deon Prescott Menber ol Execulive Committee

1840 Ecst 25th Street

ers, retail association secretaries, attorneys, and representatives of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, had a meeting with the General Counsel, Assistant Administrator, and other officials of the Wage and Hour Division, and subsequently a very comprehensive brief was filed, the primary burden of which was based on the plea that sales to building contractors should be classed as retail.

Several additional meetings were held by members of the Wage and Hour Committee with Wage and Hour officials during the time of the Board meetings, but up until the time of adjournment no final decision tvas released by the Division. It was emphasized that, no matter what the outcome would be, the association had continuously been on the job, and had spared no effort to defend the traditional status of its members as retailers.

A very optimistic note was struck when D. A. Campbell, chairman of the "Home" Publication Committee, nrade his report on the publication of "Home," a dealerconsumer publication which is a new activity of the National Association. One issue of this magazine has been circulated and another is on the press. There has been established a total circulation of 375,000 paid subscribers serving 983 individual lumber dealers. Mr. Campbell reported he had been advised that this is probably the first time any publication has reached such a large subscription total prior to the release of its initial issue. It is the goal of the committee to secure a total circulation of one million copies by January 15, 1941.

This magazine is to be published six times yearly, issued in urban and rural editions. Among the purposes of the publication are to aid the individual dealers in selling more merchandise; to be a partial medium f,or a Public Relations Program to refute high building cost propaganda, to tell constructive stories about the industry and to keep before the consumer the name of the retail lumber dealer; and to act as a coordinating influence within the man power of the industry. Mr. Campbell stated that the contents of the new "Home', magazine will be highly pictorial, and that house plans will be emphasized, because it is believed that pictures of attractive houses are the most potent sales arg'ument in the sale of the home ownership idea.

At the Wednesday morning session, H. W. Wilbur, president of the Merchandising Institute, reported on the progress of the institute's "Selling Methods', program, the purpose of which is to educate the dealers to do a better job of selling and to make them the source of home building in their communities. Mr. Wilbur described a new plan of operation which includes the hiring of field rnen to \,\'ork through the State and Regional Associations and sell this program to the dealers. So far 11 such men have been put in the field and it tvas Mr. Wilbur's feeling that this method of interesting the dealers in the Merchandising Institute's program has been successful.

Following along this idea of making the dealers the local home building headquarters, H. R. Northup, assistant secretary of the National Lumber Manufacturers, Association, discussed the Small Homes Demonstration.

National Retail Directors' Annu.l Meeting

(Continued from Page 11)

wliich is a program of education and publicity relating to small homes proraotion, and sponsored jointly by the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association. This year the program entails the establishment of State and Regional Homes Foundations.

I\[r. Northup stated he felt that each year the program has made very substantial progress, and more men have learned the secret of building attractive small homes at a profit.

A highlight of the Wednesday morning session was a talk by Carlton K. Matson, Director of Public Relations, of the Libbey-Owens-Ford Company. Mr. I\fatson's remarks were, as he said, more or less in the form of an "editorial," prior to the showing of a small-home technicolor film produced and to be distributed by the F. H. A. in cooperation with the Libbey-Orvens-Ford Company. The title of this "short" is "Design for Happiness;" it has an eight-minute running time; and will go out before about 12,00O,000 people.

At this time Mr. Matson introduced to the Directors two men who u'ere present from the F. H. A., Jay KeeS?r, assistant administrator, and George Vanderhoef.

Mr. Keegan stated that the F. H. A. appreciated the cooperation it had always received from the National Retail

Lumber Dealers' Association, and that the F. H. A. officers have a very close working arrangement with the association and its officers.

Mr. I. N. Tate then reported to the Directors the results of a real estate tax conference he had attended the first week in May. This conference, he said, started with the National Association of Real Estate Boards, but the scope was broadened to include the National Association of Building Olvners and Managers, the National Grange, the Nlortgage Bankers' Association of America, and the National Apartment Owners' Association; thereby giving the real estate tax problem a "broad mouthpiece." The conference adopted a very vigorous platform, in the aim of correcting the situation.

f he Board of Directors adopted resolutions extending thanks to the Home magazine committee, to the lvholesalers' and manufacturers' groups for the splendid cooperation they have rendered on the Wage and Hour matter, to the committeq which contacted the Procurement Division of the Treasury with reference to W.P.A. purchases, to Captain H. E. Collins, director of the Procurement Division, to President Roger Finkbine, and also expressed to Secretary Carnahan and his daughters its sincere sympathy in their recent bereavement.

Wrightson Lumber Co., Inc., 5260 Vineland Avenue, North Hollywood, celebrated the completion of their new office and warehouse building with a formal opening on May 3 and 4. The attendance exceeded expectations, there being a constant stream of visitors on both days from opening tirne up to 9:00 p.m., and many co,mpliments tvere received by J. W. Wrightson on the splendid job he has done.

The exterior of the new building, which is modernistic in design, is finished in stucco. In the interior the idea of incorporating as many products as possible in the finishing of walls and ceilings is carried out.

In the sales office striking use is made of Philwall solid Philippine Mahogany paneling of the walls. Johns-Manville decorative bevel panels and Fir-Tex decorative bevel panels are used on the ceiling. The counter has a Philippine Mahogany top with a front of Flexb,oard, finished in bakedon enamel.

Redwood paneling is used on the walls and ceiling of the private office. The Redwood is finished with wax in natural color. This office has parquet flooring. The bookkeeping office has Redwood wainscoting with Fir-Tex insulating board on the walls and ceiling.

In the upstairs display room J-M insulation board has been applied in various ways on the walls, also Knotty Pine, Knotty Red Cedar, Philwall paneling and stucco. In this room many built-in articles and other items of interest to the prospective homeowner are shown, including a Heatilator Fireplace and an Ironcraft Barbecue.

The building is completely insulated, J-M Rock Wool insulation having been used in addition to the interior insulation boards.

Ihere is a large window between the warehouse and the street in which the displays will be changed frequently to further the idea of selling through the eye.

This yard carries a complete stock of rough and finish lumber and building materials, including builders' hardware, in fact, everything that goes into the home. A complete line of Pabco paints is carried. Johns-Manville asphalt and asbestos roofing and asbestos siding are stocked.

Anticipated Lumber Demand in First Six Months Exceeds 1939 Figure bv ?%

Washington, May l5,-Total lumber consumption the first half of. l94O is estimated to exceed 13 billion feet, an increase of 3 per cent over the consumption in the similar period of 1939, according to the 36th quarterly report of the Lumber Survey Committee to the Department of Commerce, just released.

While this seems to indicate greater consumption of lumber for the year as a whole, the Com,mittee warned that because of extraordinary conditions, present indications are not favorable for an increase in lumber consumption in the third quarter of this year over last, unless large war orders develop. This, says the Committee, is unlikely.

"Residential building in the first quarter of 194O decreased slightly in the eastern and central states, but was more active in the far west, as compared with 1939," the report declared. "Despite the decline in the residential building contract total in the 37 eastern states, the F. W. Dodge Corporation reports consiclerable gain in new family units. It considers it probable that the prolonged severitv of the winter retarded first quarter building and that there may be a substantial increase in residential buiding activity in the second quarter over the first.

"Softwood lumber exports in the first three months of 194O were less than in any quarter of 1939," says the Committee. "Hardwood exports in this peribd showed a greater decline, due primarily to the near-suspension of buying of American hardwoods for the United Kingdom. Softr,l'ood lumber imports showed a decline from the first quarter of 1939 and considerable loss as compared with the fourth quarter. Hardwood imports were in greater volume than in the first two quarters oi. 1939, but less than in the last two quarters.

"Demand from the railroads so far this year has iallen off as compared with lumber purchases last fall," continues the report. "No large new equipment programs are now in early prospect although, as usual, a substantial volume of lumber has been sold for repair, maintenance and other curfent needs."

The Committee found that the continuing impetus to construction of Small Homes is strengthening the lumber trade and benefiting the lumber industry with urban home building showing encouraging volume and farm building lagging.

.GONE WITH THE WIND" FROM THE RURAL GEORGIA VIEWPOINT

(This is the text of the now celebrated review of "Gone With the Wind" as it appeared in a Georgia country newspaper.)

Katherine Scarlett O'I{ara was our shero. A winsome girl with a figger like a marble statue and a head as hard.

Gerald O'Hara was our shero's pa. By natrue he was most animallike. Proud as a peacock, he roared like a lion and rode like a dog-and-pony show. After Sherman came he trras crazy as a bed-bug. Anyhow Scarlett was in love with Ashley Wilkes, who was in love with his cousin, Melanie, who was in love with Ashley, and so they were married (Ashley and Melanie) in case you're getting confused. This irritated Scarlett no end, so in quick succession she married for spite and cash, respectively, a couple of fellows whose names we didn't get, but then neither did Scarlett for long.

The other major characters were Rhett Butler, Belle Watling, and a colored lady exactly like trhe one on the fap-jack box. Rhett was somehow strangely reminiscent of Clark Gable, and was a cross between Jesse James and Little Boy Blue. If Rhett had joined the lost cause in the second reel instead of after the intermission, tlre confederacy would have won the war-and Belle, you'd have loved Belle. Everybody did. During the siege of Atlanta only three things were runningBelle's pliace, prissyts nose, and the laundry that kept Rhett's white suits snowwhite.

Melanie's baby arrived about the same time Sherman did. Both were equally welcome to Scarlett. ft was, so far as our painstaking research has revealed, the first baby ever born in technicolor.

Anyway, the South lost the war again in the picture (what could you expect with a lot of yankee producers) and Scarlett married Rhett to get even with him. Finally after Melanie died, Scarlett realized she didn't love Ashley but Rhett-Scarlett was changeable. However, Rhett had had enough of her foolishness and when she told him, he said "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" Neither by this time did the audience. They were glad to see the end, their own having become more numb than somewhat.

Appointed Chairman of Joint Committee

Decfared to be the Solution to the on Forest Conservation

Seattle, Wash., May 27, I94O.Appointment of George L. Drake, Shelton, manager of the Simpson Logging Company, as chairman of the Joint Committee on Forest Conservation of the West Coast Lumbermen's and Pacific Northwest Loggers Associations, was announced today by officials of the two organizations. Mr. Drake takes the post left vacant, the officials said, by the passing of C. S. Chaprnan, who had headed the committee since 1933.

Low-Cost Houring Problem

San Francisco, Calif., May l7-Declared by the designer and builder to be the solution to the low-cost housing problem, a new Colonial-type cottage, located at 1835 Wilcox Avenue just outside the city limits of Richmond, California, is creating considerable interest among local building, financial and Federal Housing Administration officials. in. the Bay Region. This attractive five-room home, known as the "California Colonial Cottage," was designed (and a patent applied for) by Merle Bishop of Builders Emporium, El Cerrito, California, and was built by George S. Tandy, prominent Richmond builder. More than 700 persons visited the house the first day it was open foe inspection and that evening it was sold for $2650.

George L Drqte

"Mr. Drake's experience has covered a wide field of forestry as well as logging management," the announcement stated. "Born in Laconia, New Hampshire, he lived there until his first college year, when he entered Penn State Forestry School. He graduated in l9I2 and joined the Forcst Service, in which he wore the official green until 193O, when he joined the Simpson Logging Company as general superintendent. As a member of the Joint Committee on Forest Conservation since 1933, Mr. Drake assisted in writing the 'Rules of Forest Practice of the Dauglas Fir Region.' In 1937 Drake served as president of the Pacific Logging Congress.

"Not only his own experience but that of the logging company under his management qualifies Mr. Drake for leadership in the industry's conservation program. This company has follorved a policy of timber cropping for fifty years and has consistently retained its cutovers and provided for their restocking and protection from fire. Under Mr. Drake's management this operation has been fortified for continuous production of logs and for permanent maintenance of payrolls. He and his company have demonstrated that good forest practices are a good business proposition, when and where it is possible to keep timber-growing lands safe from fire devastation caused by the forssl-usin* public."

The type of construction is the unique {eature of this lowcost home. The walls consist of il4 Ponderosa Pine planks, 10 inches wide, center-matched and placed vertically. These planks serve a threefold purpose in the wall construction; namely, the sheathing, framing and inside walls of Knotty Pine finish. Standard siding is applied over the vertical planking. The same plan is used for the roof, which can be overlaid with red cedar shingles. The tops and bottoms of the wall and roof planks fit into specially milled sections, which serve as the plate cap and ridge pole and are milled to the design needed to provide the framing cornice and base. The partition walls are also of 6/4 material and serve for paneling. Dowels are used to stiffen up the walls, rvhich are placed near the top and bottom of the wall and roof planks. About 5000 feet of Ponderosa Pine was used in the construction of this house, according to Mr. Tandy, and such a structure can be completely erected, ready for occupancy, in 3 to 4 weeks.

The floor plan is conveniently arranged for a small family. It consists of'a large living room with Knotty Pine walls and exposed roof planks, trvo bedrooms, kitchen, dinette, bath and utility room. Natural gas heaters solve the heating problern very nicely.

Mr. Bishop and Mr. Tandy expect to build many more of these single-wall houses as the demand for such modern structures far exceeds the supply. Such houses can be built to sell for $250O to $3000 and can be purchased for a down payment of around $250 and for monthly payments of about $20 to $22 under FHA provisions.

New lmproved Calking Load Announced Russ Cagtell With Cal-Door Organization

Macklanburg-Duncan Company, Oklahoma City, Okla., manufacturers of Nu-Calk Calking Compound and Nu-Glaze Glazing Compound, announce introduction of their New, Improved "Speed Load" for calking guns.

According to the manufacturers this nelv load, due to special construction of the container and caps, is practically vacuum packed, elirninating air pockets lvhich cause dry, chunky calking to form in container.

R. M. "Russ" Castell, who recently joined the sales staff of The California Door Company, will call on the lumber dealers in the San Joaquin Valley, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Orange County. Russ is well known to the lumber trade, having called on the dealers in this territory for several years.

R. V. Pye, who has been calling on the trade in Orange County, will devote more time to other territories.

UNUSUAL SHIPMENT

There afe no lids to remove, just drop load in gun, slice off seal and use. Applier's hands do not touch calking material. Gun and nozzle are kept clean and free from calking, due to special top lid which fits into nozzle opening. As air does not reach calking, smooth, even flow rvith easv trigger action is assured.

Loads are packed ten (one gallon) to the carton. Complete information furnished by Mackianburg-Duncan Company, Oklahoma City, Okla.

White Brothers, hardwood dealers, San Francisco, recently brought in a large shipment of domestic Oak timbers, 6 by l2inchesand from 46 to 5O feet long. These are used for boat keels. Such shipments of Oak timbers used to be very common, according to Don F. White, in the old days when his firm supplied large quantities of boat lumber to points all over the Pacific Coast. but now are more or less unusual.

Story of Sitka Spruce Told in Novel Booklet

One of the most interesting and useful publications that has made its appearance in the lumber trade, in a long time, is a harvest-to-use book on Sitka spruce, just announced by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle.

Novel in treatrnent, illustrated from cover to cover with up-to-the-minute photographs, its editorial contests tersely written and conveniently arranged, the 36-page book makes its bow at a time when Sitka spruce is again an airplane item of international importance and such new clevelopments as the frozen foods and locker-storage industry are bringing this unique species of wood prominently to the attention of specialty makers and remanufacturers.

The opening section of the book tells the story of Sitka spruce, in large size illustrations, from the woods through the various stages of manufacture, inspection, and selection. Section No. 2 is devoted to the contribution this West Coast wood makes toward the manufacture of a wide variety of articles and products essential to the everyday life of the average American. The third and last division of the book gives a complete compendium of technical information about Sitka spruce and provides a grade use guide, with recommended uses for this particular lumber.

In preparing the publication, the Association was fortunate in having available the services of Kenneth S. Brown, formerly official photographer at Coulee Dam and who has won acclaim on other projects for technical and artistic ex_ cellence in industrial photography. Mr. Brown, who has recently been enhancing his reputation as a camera techni_ cian by photogmphing West Coast lumbering from tree to

loading platform, is responsible for many of the striking camera studies portrayed in this novel Sitka spruce book. Copies of the book may be obtained upon request from West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 364 Stuart Building, Seattle.

BRADLEY'S HICKORY SAWMILL CLOSED BY SITUATION IN SCANDINAVIA

The Bradley Lumber Company, oI 'Warren, Arkansas, own and operate as one unit of their very extensive lumber plant, a hickory mill. This is a sawmill built, equipped, and arranged entirely for the proper manufacture and preparation for market of hickory products. At the present time this unit is closed down, due to conditions in the various Scandinavian countries. You see, a very large part of the product of this sawmill is used for the manufacture of skis, and most of this wood goes to Denmark and the other neighboring countries that are now under the thumb of Germany and Russia. Naturally there is little demand for ski materia.ls from that region now, and likewise no opportunity for delivering same, even if it were ordered and paid for.

New Booklet on Vacation Cottages

To help lumber dealers and contractors sell vacation cottages and cabins, The Celotex Corporation has just issued an attractive 16-page booklet containing perspective views and floor plans of eight cottages.

The book gives prospective buyers a variety of ideas and suggestions for fireplaces, outdoor barbecue racks, wall bunks, flobrs for outdoor terraces and similar items.

The cottages range in size from inexpensive one-room cabins to {our room dwellings which include two full size bedrooms. There is also a duplex cottage designed for two family occupancy.

The booklet also shows a wide variety of styles. One cottage is streamlined and modern, several are in more traditional style and a few are designed with simple shed type roofs for maximum economy.

All of the cottages are planned for comfortable year 'round use. Some employ painted Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing for outside walls, with Celotex Interior Finishes on inner rvalls ,and ceilings. In others Celotex sheathing is used on the outside with no interior finish. Several have imitation log siding.

The booklets are available to Celotex dealers, and contractors may obtain them from dealers or by writing direct to The Celotex Corporation, 919 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
