How Lumber Looks

San Francisco, May 27.-No settlement is yet in sight of the 18-day International Woodworkers of America loggers' strike that has caused the closing of more than 6O logging camps and sawmills in Western Washington. All the woodworking plants in this area will be forced to close if the strike is long extended. The union has declared as unfair all logs in the rivers not in the mill booms or tied directly to the booms on May 17. As a result mills have to close as their log supply becomes exhausted. For example, at Grays Harbor four mills have already shut down, others have from three to 10 days' log supply and plywood plants are said to have about three weeks' supply.

The defense mediation board in Washington, D.C. on May 23 asked the tz,W CIC) lumber workers in the Puget Sound area to return to work immediately under a temporary agreement pending a report by a commission to be appointed by the board. The commission would probably take from six to eight weeks to complete the study.

The defense mediation board's proposal for settling the strike was accepted, by 52 operators in the area, subject to the industry's ratification, but it was rejected by 400 tWa delegates at a meeting held May 26 in Olympia, Wash. The delegates' decision will be submitted to union locals for ratification.

Chairman C. A. Dvkstra of the board asked that work-

ers accept a company offer of a wage increase averaging 7f cents an hour.

The Union demanded a closed shop, including the hiring hall, a flat wage increase of.7l cents for every worker, a week's vacation with pay for all who were employed for one year prior to January 10, 1941, and elimination of piece work.

Boommen and Rafters Union (CIO) went on strike at Tacoma, May 17, and tied up all log dumps and log storage booms supplying Tacoma sawmills' Several mills and logging camps are closed as a result, putting more than 2,000 men out of work.

Seattle, Washington, May 12,1941--The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in April (5 weeks) was 171,335,000 board feet or 107.6 per cent of estimated capacity. Orders averaged 172,863,0ffi board feet; shipments, 174,O72,ffi. Weekly averages for March were: production, 169,108,000 board feet (85.9 per cent of the lyzGlgD average) : orders, 181,135,000; shipments, 17Qo41,000.

18 weeks ol 1941, cumulative production, 2,965PI1,W board feet; same period, t94O-2,369,645,000; 1939-2,050,798,W.

Orders for 18 weeks of. l94l break down as follows: rail, 1,597,074.000 board feet; domestic cargo, 924,503,ffi; export, 75,935,000 ; local, 4O2,88,7,W.

**:k

From the dawn of civilization, wood has played a prominent part in the affairs of man. And today, with a great national defense program in the making, wood is again demonstrating its wide usefulness.

{.*!k

It would require a greater volume than this one to list the uses that the Government is applying to the various products of wood at this time. Because wood is so workable, so applicable, so handy for serving man and his possessions.

**t<

At scores upon scores of defense camps, cantonments, and other Governmental spots too numerous to mention, wood has been used quickly, practicalln and successfully to get the work of defense started. Never before in this world's history has so much wood been ordered, delivered, and put to use in so small a space of time.

**rt

And other great quantities of wood have been used and are being used today to create the housing facilities needed for the mighty armies of men working for Uncle Sam, and training for Uncle Sam. ft proves to be a inost practical material. They can get it quickly, and can put it to use with great speed. So, almost over night, great cantonments capable of housing thousands of men, spring into existence.

Wood-in the shape of lumber-has demonstrated its elasticity in the matter of production, likewise. When the figures showing the production of lumber for the past six months-as compared with production for any previous like period in many years-have been compiled, it will be shown that the production of lumber was speeded up at a rate and in a volume few great commodities could even dream of. Overtime and extra shifts did the work. ***

In numerous instances mills that had contemplated and prepared for a rebuilding or modernizing job, set all such thoughts aside when the defense orders began coming in, and went to cutting lumber at the highest possible rate of speed. Result, there is plenty of employment to be had in almost every sawmilling district in the entire country, so far as we know.

{.**

And how they delivered it! By truck and train and car it went hurtling cross country as fast as the saws could turn it out. Armies of men stood and waited for its coming, and when it arrived, seized saw and hammer and went to work to fashion those defense units needed at that particular spot. The greatest difierence between the lumber business today and during the first World War was the speed of delivery. Twent5r-four years ago delivery of lumber was comparatively slow. ft was entirely by rail, and rail had not the speed then that it has now. This time the railroads have given rapid and dependable service in getting the lumber to the defense jobs; and the trucks have covered the highways.

{.**

It has all been a new g:rme to the lumber folks, also They had no prwious rules to go by in setting forth to supply the government and its contractors with their lumber needs. They had to learn as they went along.

Plenty of mistakes were made' some of them expensive ones, but that is always true in anything big and new and spectacular. The result was that the government on the whole, got splendid service in its lumber deliveries, and the buildings of wood grew like mushrooms at scores of chosen spots. ***

One thing noticeable, to the writer at least, is that all the army camps and cantonments he has seen so far, are painted. Most of them are attractively painted. In the first World War he saw many army camps, but remembets them as mostly entirely unpainted wood. A nice job of paint sure makes a big camp look more interesting and inviting. Don't know that they are all painted this time, but certainly plenty of them are, and it is a wise job. ***

Now that war is so much in the public mind, I call to mind a short but remarkable speech that was made by Sam Houston to his men, just before marching into the battle of San Jacinto, where Texas independehce was reon. It is worth putting in every scrapbook. General Houston said:

"This morning we are in preparation to meet Santa Anna. It is the only chance of saving Texas. From time to time I have looked for reinforcements in vain. We will only have about seven hundred men to march with, besides the camp guard. We go to conquer. It is wisdom growing out of necessity to meet the enemy now; every consideration enforces it. No previous occasion would justify it. The troops are in fine spirits, and now is the time for action. We shall use our best efforts to fight the enemy to such advantage as will insure victory, though t'he odds are greatly against us. I leave the result in the hands of a wise God, and rely upon His Providence. My country will do justice to those who serve her. The rights for which we fight will be secured, and Texas free."

New General Sales Manager Has

National-American \(/holesalers' \(ide Experience

Mason E. Kline, who was recently appointed general sales manager of the Union Lumber Company, San Francisco, is well equipped for his new position by his varied experience.

A member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, he graduated in mechanical engineering from the lJniversity of Kentucky, took post-graduate work at the University of Illinois, and has long been recognized as one of the outstanding technical authorities of the lumber industrv with wide experience in Southern Pine, Eastern Hardwoods, Douglas Fir, Redwood and treated lumber.

In the early part of his career he was associated with the Louisville Veneer Mills, of which his father is presi- dent. Later he went into the treated lumber business with Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company at St. Helens, Oregon and at the San Francisco and New york offices. During this period of specializing in all branches of wood preservation he served in every section of the United States and part of Canada.

Mr. Kline has been with the Union Lumber Company f.or 14 years, and in his position of sales engineer did important work for the industry in the development and introduction of the structural grades of Redwood.

He was put in charge of the company,s Southern California operations and sales in Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado in March, 1934, and remained in Los Angeles for five years before returning to the San Francisco office.

He has done a great deal of traveling all over the country in the course of his work. Most of this has been by plane, the aggregate distance in the air being well over 1,000,000 miles. Incidentally he was presented some time ago by the United Air Lines with a handsome plaque, emblem of membership in their 100,000 Mile Club.

Newly Appointed Lumber and Timber Products Industry Committee to Meet June 23

A committee will meet in Washington on June 23 to investigate economic and competitive conditions in the lumber and timber products industry for the purpose of recommending a mininrum wage, not in excess of 40 cents an hour, which will not substantially curtail employment in the industry, it was announced today by General Philip B. Fleming, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U. S. Department of Labor. The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. in Conference Rooms A and B of the Interdepartmental Auditorium, Constitution Avenue between lZth and,14th Streets Northwest, Washington, D. C.

Members of the Committee are:

For the Public: William Homer Spencer, chairman, University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.; Leslie H. Buckler, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va.; Clyde E. Dankert, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H.; G. Allan Dash, Jr., University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.; Royal E. Montgomery, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.; George E. Osborne, Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif.; Arthur F. Raper, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Greensboro, Ga.; William G. Rice, Jr., Ifniversity of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis.

For the Employers: P. A. Bloomer, Louisiana Long Leaf Lumber Company, Fisher, La.; C. Arthur Bruce, E. L. Bruce Co., Memphis, Tenn.; E. J. Curtis, Curtis Co., Inc., Clinton, Iowa; C. H. Kreienbaum, Simpson Logging Co., Shelton, 'Wash.; William P. Long, Lisbon Co., Inc., Lisbon, N. H.; James G. McNary, Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., McNary, Ariz.; Lee Robinson, Mobile River Saw Mill Co., Mt. Vernon, Ala.; Jack W. Simmons, Elberta Crate Co., Tallahassee, Fla.

For the Employees: Frank P. Fenton and Robert J. Watt, both of the American Federation of Labor, Washington, D. C.; Frank Chapman, Seattle, Wash.; M. A. Hutcheson, Indianapolis., Ind.; and A. W.

trial Union Council ( C. I. O.), Richmond, Va.

An industry committee for the wood furniture manufacturing industry, to meet in Washington June 17, has been announced by General Fleming. Because of the relationship between this industry and the lumber and timber products industry, the public representatives of the two committees are identical. Also, since wood furniture products are manufactured by hardwood dimension establishments, an employer representative of the hardwood dimension group-C. Arthur Bruce-is serving on both committees.

It is estimated that there are approximately 440,00O employees in the industry, of which about 200,000 are currently receiving at least 3O but less than 4O cents an hour.

Seattle Executive Heads National LumberDealers'Organization

Washington, D. C., May 20, 1941.-"The twenty-five millions of individually owned homes in this country are the nation's invincible bulwark against all enemies," declared Carl Blackstock, president of the Blackstock Lumber Company, Seattle, Washington, in an interview following his election to the presidency of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association at the annual meeting of that organization held here the past week.

Ccrl BlcrckstocL ideas. He has a solid and permanent stake in his country's safety and well-being," observed President Blackstock.

"The lumber and building material dealer is facing and discharging his responsibility as the economic keystone of the home building industry. It is only a few short years ago that home owning was a dream that could not be

realized by the vast majority of our people. Ten years ago a $5,000 house was a cheap house, indeeed, and for the great mass of wage earners it was simply impossible to acquire a home. Today. the average of all houses built, big and little, is approximately $5,000 and almost no workman earns so little as to make home owning impossible. Thousands upon thousands of homes are being bought today for less than a dollar a day and for less than rent.

"Lunrber and building material dealers have played and continue to play a significant part in this development and upon them rests the responsibility of bringing to each local community the facilities for making home owning possible for all of our people. This is a responsibility that has been heightened as the nation is engaged in a gigantic effort to mobilize its industrial and human resources to defend the American Way.

"The progressive dealers in every community afford the only possible and efficient channel through which the building industry can operate by reason of the necessary local services that are part and parcel of the economic process of providing comfortable shelter for the provident among the nation's suburban and country population,,' concluded the newly-elected chief of the national a.ssociation of lumber and building materials dealers.

Designed to appeal to families of modern circumstances, the five-room bungalow, which will have two bedrooms, will cost approximately $5000. The floor plan, which is a combination of the structural ideas of half a dozen prominent architects and contractors, will cover 1200 feet.

A number of lumber and building materials firms will have exhibits at the exposition.

This year, for the first time, The Southern California Horticultural Institute is joining with the building contractors in presenting the biggest summer flower show ever held in Los Angeles.

ft was disclosed there will be ten days of competition, under direction of the horticultural institute, in which more than 500 of the leading professional and amateur flower arrangers in the Southland will participate. Opal Scarborough, secretary-manager of the Institute, has outlined a competitive schedule which will include events for all the principal garden clubs, the women's auxiliary of the Builders and Contractors' Association, and a "no handicap" flower arrangements sweepstakes for men only. Throughout the show there will also be floral arrangements by all the leading professional teachers of the art, as well as outstanding florists.

50,000 Homes Started Under FHA Since First of Year

More than 50,000 new small homes have been started under Federal Housing Administration inspection since the first of the year, at least 85 per cent of them in defense industrial areas, Administrator Abner H. Ferguson announced yesterday.

The rate of building under the FHA program is now 800 homes a day.

In the week e.nded April 12 the number of homes started under the FHA program was the highest on record, with 4433 started under Title II and,27I under Title I.

The number of homes started this year is 2O per cent in excess of the number built in the same period ol I94O, the Administrator said.

Gains in the volume of homes being started in many defense areas range up to 50 per cent and even 10O per cent.

The record breaking activity in home construction under the FHA program shows the willingness and ability of private industry to help meet the need for housing in the defense emergency, Mr. Ferguson said.

From January 1 through April 19 about 46,500 small homes were started under FHA inspection, which are being financed with loans insured under TitleII of the National Housing Act, compared with 39,7@ in the same period last year.

In addition 2800 homes were started under FHA inspection, which are being financed with loans insured under Title I, compared with 1100 in the same period of. 194O.

Dunsmuir Lumber Company, Dunsmuir, has added a department for the manufacture of molding. Last winter a dry kiln was constructed and put in operation. A new office and general administration building is being completed, one room of which is unusual in that the interior is constructed of Pine, Cedar and Fir. Ralph yoder and Joe Crahane operate the mill.

I ou know from your own experience that home buyers "shop" on the streets. Every enduring stucco job that keeps its good looks is a silent salesman for you. And the more such jobs there are, the higher stucco volume will climb. Make every house you build a "demonstratort' for the beauty and weatherproof durability of stucco. Here are more of the rules for doing the job absolutely right. See that the structure is rigid and well-framed insist on a good base . protect horizontal surfaces with pro. jecting trim . place non-corrosive flashing at all points of possible moisture entrance position reinforcement so that it will be completelv embedded in the mortar use only stucco made iith pitrtland cetnent or unter-proofed portland cetnen, t'or all seals-rnb(sfl, applied and cured according to approved methods.

Forestry, Public Relations, Wage-Hour and Standardization Problems Hold Attention of Lumbermen at NLMA's Executive Meeting

Washington, May 16.The executive Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association passed important new forestry resolutions, adopted a three-year plan for doubling the public relations efforts of the lumbermen, and elected a new vice - president before it adjourned here Thursday afternoon, May 15.

I. N. Tate, vicepresident of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, St. Paul, and for many years active in Association affairs, was elected first vice-president to replace Edmund lfayes, former president of the West Coast Lumbermens Association, who had resigned because of the press of personal business.

Six problems of current importance to the lumber industry were considered by six standing committees. Meetings began May 8 and concluded with a session of the Executive Committee, Thursday, May 15. Committees which met were: Standardization, Wage-Hour,' Forestry, Public Relations, Advisory and Executive.

Thirty lumbermen attended the sessions which considered: (1) Revision of American Lumber Standards; (2) Forest conservation policies; (3) Wage-Hour law developments; 4) Co-operation with National Defense agencies; (5) Effect of consent decrees upon Association operation, and (6) Enlargement of the general public relations work of the Association.

Government officials concerned with emergency defense work and foreign relations under the Lend-Lease bill were

the guests of the lumbermen at two luncheons on May 14 and 15. John W. Biggers, president of Libby-OwensFord Glass Co., and now a key OPM official, addressed the lumbermen with reference to the effects of defense production on civilian trade, at a Wednesday noon Metropolitan Club luncheon. Other officials who spoke at this time were: Blackwell Smith of the Priorities Section of the OPM; R. R. Deupree, general manager. Proctor & Gamble Company, and now of the Agricultural and Forest Products Division of the OPM; W. A. Summerhays and L. W. Smith, also of the Agricultural and Forest Products Division of the OPM.

Lynn Edminster of the State Department, Co-ordinator on Lend-Lease matters, spoke to the lumbermen on the implications of lumber export inherent in this legislation, at a Thursday noon luncheon. Carroll Wilson, Director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the U. S. Department of Commerce, explained reorganization measures recently initiated in the Department of Commerce. Phillips A. Hayward, former chief of the Forest Products Division of that Department, and now chief of the Durable Materials lInit, explained to the lumbermen the new set-up for the handling of forest products interests within the Department.

The two-day session of the Association's Standards Committee discussed in detail the adjustment of American Lumber Standards to the consent decree now in force.

Wage-Hour, Forest Conservation, and Public Relations committees met simultaneously both May 12 and, 13. Wage-Hour discussion centered around the possible imminent appointment of an industry committee for lumber by the Wage-Hour Administrator, and the possibility of subsequent hearings for the establishment of minimum rate recommendations.

The establishment of forestry practices suited to continuous forest production was recognized as an obligation of forest owners and of the industries using forest products by the Executive Committee. To the end that individual responsibility for the long-time use of forest

lands may be more generally accepted the Committee recommended that present educational efforts be augmented.

Following the advice of the Forest Conservation Committee the executive group recorded its belief that fire prevention and suppression are the major problems in forest conservation. It urged that maximum efforts be exerted with Congress toward increasing the authorization for cooperative fire protection to $10,000,000 as compared with the current federal contribution of $2,500,00O. In doing so it would maintain the cooperative principles established under the Clarke-McNary Act. At the same time, the Committee expressed a desire for the fuller development of the co-operative and educational approach to all national forestry problems.

The Executive Committee expressed the belief that where public regulation is necessary or desirable, the public controls should be applied and administered under State laws. ft was, however, not in sympathy with efforts to control forest operations on privately owned lands by federal authorities. Accordingly, in the belief that owners of forest land are basically desirous of achieving good forest practices, the Committee urged that laws dealing with the management of private forest lands be determined in each State by the people of the State without federal coercion.

Giving consideration to the recent report of the Joint Congressional Committee on Forestry, the Executive Committee urged an amendment to the Clarke-McNary Act to authorize annual appropriation of $10,000O00 for fire prevention and suppression "to be administered under the co-operative principles already provided by the Act"; supported the proposal to provide $1,000,000 annually for the co-operative control of forest insects and diseases; urged the enactment of legislation now before Congress to enable the sustained-yield management of intermingled public and private forest holdings; supported the enactment of legislation to assure financial contributions to local governments which would be as nearly as possible equal to the normal tax contribution, had the lands remained in private ownership; and recommended the early completion of the forest survey of the United States but with provision for its continuation in order to keep the data continually abreast of actual conditions

The Public Relations Committee. v/hich was authorized

by the lumbermen last November to prepare a plan for the improvement of lumber's relations with the general public, reported in detail and made three important recommendations which were accepted by the Executive Committee.

The Public Relations group asked for and received an authorization of $300,000 annually for the next three years for the purpose of more than doubling the current public relations activities of the Association. The Committee told of its four months of intensive investigation of this subject, during which time it had prepared and authorized a scientific survey of lumber's standing with the general public, by Opinion Research, fnc., Princeton, N. J. The Committee reported that this survey is now being conducted and that a report is expected around June loth.

The Committee also reported the employment of Selvage & Smith Public Relations Counsel, as general advisor on the administration of the enlarged program.

Lumbermen and staff representatives of several associations attending the meeting included: M. L. Fleishel, J. M. Brown, Earl McGowin, Edmund Hayes, Corydon Wagner, W. A. Holt, R. C. Winton, C. R. Macpherson, Walter Neils, I. N. Tate, James G. McNary, Fred K. Weyerhaeuser, C. C. Sheppard, Leonard G. Carpenter, Kenneth Walker, David J. Winton, Geo. W. Dulany, Jr., G. F. Jewett, A. G. T.

Young Editor Interviewed on Radio

Dorothy Anne Hobson,l?-year-old editor of the Valsetz Star, Valsetz, Ore, was introdu,ced on the "We the People" program, May fr, on the Columbia network, by Herbert A. Templeton, president of the Herbert A. Templeton Lumber Co., Portland, Ore.

fnterviewed by Mr. Templeton, Dorothy told that when the Valsetz paper folded up three years ago she decided to start a paper of her own and asked Mr. Templeton to be her publisher. The paper, issued monthly, now has a circulation of more than 800, including many lumbermen.

The only advertisement carried by the paper is the one of Cobbs & Mitchell Co., the local sawmill. Dorothy writes the copy and does a good job in this department as well as in gathering and writing the news.

DON BLANDING ON HAWAII

Worthless treasures and priceless trash, Silver that gleams in the lightning's fash, Gold that the sunset spills on the sky, Gauzes and tissues in mists sailing by, Diamonds, a necklace of dew on the grass, Filigree silver in frost on the glass, Lace in Kiawe trees shadowing brooks, Riches a money-blind man overlooks, Perfumes of Araby scenting a lane, Opals that fall from the sky in the rain, Gold in the sands of a shallow lagoon, Platinum dripping cold-white from the moon, Silk in the rose petals flung on ttre breeze, Velvet in moss on the trunks of the trees, Day dreams and memories, moments acute, Thrice-distilled happiness-vagabonds loot.

DUST AND ASHES

Once in a while in the public prints, Some well known party his molars gnashes, And says success is a lime, a quince, A combination of dust and ashes; That he is tired of praise and fame, He's bored to death with the spotlight's glare, But if you follow the calcium's flame, Youll find this Johnnie is standing therc.

The Game, he'll tell you, is seldom worth The tallow candle; but none the less Not all the cand,les around the earth, Would he accept for his own succesa. He's weary often-as who is not?

He's bored with glory-hear him abuse it; It's "dust and ashes" the fame he's got, But boy, Oh boy, how he hates to lose it.

I know some winners in fortune's strife, I know a lot of losers, too, Who has the pleasanter time in life?

I know the answer, and so do you. That "dust and ashes" remark is old, Success than failure is better far, For the dust is mostly the dust of goldAnd the ashes are those of a good cigar.

THINKING AND DOING

It is much more difficult to live on the level than it is to think on the level. fn your mind you may have a pack of splendid ideals. You may admire fine actions, and abhor the other sort. But when it comes to putting these thoughts into practice, that is something else again. But it is better to think good and do bad, than to think bad and do bad, also. We're not altogether sure that it isn't better than it is to think bad and do good. That marks either a coward or a hypocrite. But if you really think right, a lot of your thinking is bound to crop out in your actions. Keep the old brain on the decent track, and it's apt to pull the rest of you along with it

SAME LESSONS

"My son," asked the proud father, "why do you always stay at the foot of the class?"

"But, Daddy," replied the boy, "it really makes no difference. Teacher gives us the same lesson at both ends.,'

A LITERAL RELIGIONIST

"Mother, how did that beautiful rainbow get in the sky?"

"My dear, that is just a lovely picture that God painted for all of us."

"Ma, Ffe did an awful good job with His left hand, didn't He?"

"His left hand, son?"

"Yes, Ma. You know, we read in Sunday School that Jesus sits on His right hand."

FAMILIAR THINGS

It ig the familiar things that rest the heart, Blue, braided rugs, sunlit upon the foor, One pine, one star, the dusk has set apaft, And laughter filtering through a neighbor's door; A woodland path the feet have often followed, And kittens purring through the noon, and books; An old, old air upon a violin, The lovely birth and dying of the year, A house screne and orderly within, And someone speaking gentle words, and dear.

Now Glass Can be Nailed to \7all bv Method Just Announced

Nailing structural flat glass to a wall area with a hammer is now possible.

This revolutionary procedure in utilizing glass-faced rvall surfaces for dwellings was revealed in the first announcement of such construction methods by G. P. MacNichol, Jr., vice president in charge of sales, LibbeyOwens-Ford Glass Company, before the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast division of the National Glass Distributors Association in Del Monte, California, on May 15.

Most important angle of the glass company executive's announcement to the low-income prospective home owner is the fact that he can now have a part of his bathroom or kitchen paneled with colorful, easy-to-clean glass exactly as it is being done in residences of the $8,000-and-up brackets.

This is true because the glass, an opaque product known as Vitrolite, can be installed so easily. It is accomplished

by taking advantage of prefabrication principles, whereby a slab of the sparkling glass is cemented at the plant to plasterboard in such manner that the backing has an extension to form flanges. Nails driven through the flanges directly into the studding securely anchors the Vitrolite panel into position.

Practically as easy to install as hanging a mirror, Vitrolite paneling around a tub in the bath, above a kitchen sink or as colorful backing for a lavatory, is installed quickly, thus saving considerable time in labor. Prefabrication, of course, makes it possible to install the product faster and, accordingly, sharply reduces the overall cost to a point where the small home can have the advantage of sparkling color in the bath in a permanent setting that remains gleamingly beautiful through the years.

New NLMA Booklet lllustrates the Old and the Modern in \(ood Fences

Washington, May L9.

-The new booklet about wood fences recently published by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association is worth over 270,0@ words, yet can be read in less than ten minutes. that is, if you believe the age-old adage that one picture is worth 10,000 words !

To help retail lumber dealers create more sales for wood fences is the aim of this new booklet entitled "Let's Build a Wood Fence." This ultra-modern two-color booklet includes twenty-seven clear-cut illustrations of appealing homes, yards and gardens that are enhanced by the use of wood fences and gates. There are many types and varieties of fences shown. ..with suggested treatments for various styles of architecture.

The outside back cover is blank so each dealer can add a personal touch to the sales message. This space is ideally suited for a full page advertisement, a few lines of copy, or just the dealer's name and address...whichever is preferred.

A sample copy is available free of charge to lumbermen .5c to all others. The quantity price, for twenty-five or more copies, is 37/2c each.

How Lumber Looks

(Continued from Page 4)

West Coast lumber production was maintained at a Stocks on .hand are about 13 per cent lower than a year relatively high level in April as the industry continued its ago. Production has incr-eased slightly and shipments are efforts to ge1 from undei a heavy accumulation of orders increasing, but neither is keeping pace with ordersbuilt up in the past few months on defense construction Employees of the Redwood mills received a wage inprojects. April saw more small rogging and sawmiil ff:fi. of seven cents an hour on the minimum' effective operations added to the industry's productive capacity, most of them, however, on a probable temporary basis.

There was no noticeable increase in demand for homebuilding and farm lumber from retail yards.

While there is no immediate prospect of increased defense demand, in terms of volume, for West Coast lumber, special defense requirements grow heavier rveek by week. The need for shipyard piling and timbers, Sitka spruce and Douglas fir airplane stock, and timbers for boat-building, is emergency demand on the industry.

Unfilled orders on the books of the California Redwood mills are more than double what they were a year ago.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended May 17,96 mills reporting, gave orders as 84,611,000 feet, shipments 79,O60,000 feet, and production U,376f[/0^ feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 393,316,000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended May 17,126 mills reporting, gave orders as 30,315,000 feet, shipments n,574,W feet, and production 33,788,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 113,081,000 feet.
