Exterior pllster is either completely water-repellent or it leaks. There is no half-way about it! The Monolith Waterproot quality is interground at the mill by a special patented process that makes it outstanding in this field.
If you have any doubts, why not make this simple test? Thke a handful of ordinary plastic cement or even some so-called water-repellent cement and then sprinkle a few drops of water on its surface. Notice how the water is sooner or later absorbed. Thcn make the test with Monolith and watch the drops of water roll off, or stand firm and clear on top of the cement.
For a harder...crack-resistant, waterproof wall, specify Monolith WaterprooJ Plastic Cement on your job. You'll find it costs no mole to get the best!

When someone suggested to Napoleon that they pray heaven for help, the Corsican dryly replied that he had found that heaven was usually on the side of the biggest army. Today he would probably amend.that and say that heaven was usually found on the side with the strongest air force.
Heard the best definitiJn Jf "*brok" man that has come my way in a long time. Fellow said he was so broke that if round-the-world tickets were selling for ten cents apiece, he couldn't even ask what time the train left.
And I rolled on the fl."l "J,hl, one. It could have been said by a lumber dealer, but in fact was the remark of a tire dealer. He was asked how he felt about the fix in which he found himself, and whether or not he could stay in business. He said he felt like a skeleton that was hanging in a Iaboratory, who remarked to another skeleton hanglng there: "You know, if we had any guts we'd get the hell out of here."
It has been well *a rl"ql"rrly "aia that ..the past is given us to build the future out of.,' But there is nothing in the past history of the lumber industry on which to predicate any very definite opinions about the status quo. And, as the colored gent said, "de status quo means de hell ob a fix we'se in."

The favorite poem of Abraham Lincoln which was titled "Oh Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be proud?,, held these lines: "Oh we are the same that our fathers have been, we see the same sights that our fathers have seen, we drink the same stream, and we view the same sun, and we run the same course that our fathers have run." That sentiment is decidedly outmoded. The man in the street, reading that today, would prornptly reply-..Oh, yeah?,,
coming in such gobs that the industry could hardly credit the size and number of them, Harry T. Kendall wrote me and said: "Don't let it fool you; we ain,t seen nuthin' yet.,, ffow true that was. The tide of demand for lumber for thousands of Governmental and war purposes just rose until it looked like it couldn't get any bigger; and then it proceeded to keep right on rising. The number of wood using building projects having to do with the war that have been, are being, and will be constructed, if listed would require telephone number figures and no mistake.
No efiort has been -";;, Jny puutication, and probably none ryill be made until, the thing is over, to even estimate these huge requirements. But suffice it to say that the lumber demand created by the first World War was by comparison just the proverbial shirt.tail full. They didn't know what lumber consumption meant in lgl7 and 1918. But we know now, or at least we're getting a pretty general idea.
The freeze order on -oJ oiafrl products of the softwood mills of all species throughout the country became effective May 13th. Reports from Washington indicate that there will almost certainly be some early modifications of that order. Newspaper reports from the capital said that it never was intended that the freeze order would entirely stop construction, but that reports from all parts of the country indicated that it had, and that something would be done about it.
As this is being *ritd.rf it1" I.rrr"otly reported that an amendment to Ll?l is under consideration for early issuance, which will liberalize the order to some extent by "unfreezing" certain items and grades of lumber, and possibly by enlarging the scope of exceptions to the order.
our fathers had no "*oJr,"l".J
fike these. So what they learnod can be of littJe value to us now. Changes come so fast and in such number that we have almost ceased to gasp at them. This applies not only to the lumber business but to all business and to all men. Living as we are in the midst of the greatest emergency that has been known since the history of mankind began, new thoughts, new things, new events, new hopes, new doubts, new fears, come so rapidly as to be kaleidoscopic. But when they have passed into history, won't we have plenty to look back and talk about?
,F ,F tN.
Fulty a year ago when Government lumber orders were
To the producers .f";,;J lumber the freeze order came as something of relief. Trying to convince the civilian trade that they could not begin to manufacture what the Government needed and was demanding, and that therefore their sales to the trade for ordinary building purposes were necessarily very limited, regardless of their sympathy for their retail lumber friends, was a very difficult task When the Government just moved in and took their product, it took a lot of unpleasant pressure off the manufacturers.
Of course, it is hell on Jn" lu"i"r. It furnishes him with a thousand problems, and no one to answer any of the questions that vex him. The big question of course is, how
Iong will the freeze order prevail? It was made for sixty days. If it should terminate at the end of that time, practically all-lumber dealers would ride it out; not all, because already many lumber yards have quietly folded up, either for the duratiorq or for good. But most of them are sitting tight, trying their durndest to figure what they should do \rith their remaining stocks of lumber, what to do about a trade clamoring for building material, and what plans to make for the future. One man's guess is just as good as another's.
Natural\r, the real no""lrori i"lrro* long will it take the mills to supply what the Government needs? The structures into which most of this common lumber goes, are built with great rapidity. The present unheard-of demand cannot go on indefinitely. But so long as it DOES last, it is needless to say that the war needs must and will get all the available lumber they want, and all other needs must wait. There will be no abrupt ending of lumber purchases for war needs, because even after aU the army camps, the warehouse units, the hospitals, the dozens of other sorts of wooden units that are now being constructed have been completed, there will still be heavy lumber demand for ship materials, car materials, crating, boxing, etc., etc., etc. But this demand will not compare with the present volume, and lumber will then be released for other uses. When will this slackening in war demand for lurnber come? Ah. That's
the question. We may know more about that sixty deyg from now, and by that time have some facts on which to base plans for the future. ***
At present the lumber deder is pretty well straightjacketed. The freeze order keeps him from replacing the lumber stocks he is now selling. He can still sell without restriction a number of building items, such as wall boards of all kinds, cement, brick, paint, wall paper, built-in features that he buys made-up, fencing, roofings of all kinds. He can sell all the repair materials he can find a market for. There is no limit on the amount that can be s1rcnt to repair an existing building and keep it in good order. He can sell materials he can get for additions or improvements to existing structures only up to a total cost of $500 in the city, or $1,000 on a farm. He can sell a new business building up to $5,0fi). All these depend on his being able to get materials.
The dealer will now anxiously wait for the Government to secure the lumber it wants, so that civilian building can proceed. When that time comes he will still have to work under the prevaiting building restrictions. But if there is an adequate supply of lumber and other materials available, he can make a living under those restrictions until such time as they may be changed" The present period is one of watchful and anxious waiting.
Washington, May 13,1942:The War Production Board tod,ay lroze for a period of 60 days all sales and deliveries by large producers of softwood "construction" lumber, except to meet the needs of the Army, Navy, and Maritime Commission.
The order (L-I2L) affects approximately 70 per cent of this country'i softwood lumbir production and applies particularly to timbers, framing items, and boards commonly used in building construction. It leaves factory, shop, and box lumber, and all hardwood lumbers. free io move in the customary trade channels.
Stocks in retail yards, estimated to be approximately 7,000,000,000 feet, aie sufficient to supply the issential civilian demands during the period thLe order is in force, the WPB Lumber and I.umber Products Branch said.
The order defines "construction lumber" as any sawed softwood lumber of any of several designated jpecifications, whether rough, dressed on one oi more iides or edges, d_ressed and matched, shiplapped, or grooved for splines. _It does not include any of the standaid grades of factory lumber, shop lumber, or box lumber.
The definition of producer does not include sawmills which produced less than 5,000 feet, board measure, per avera_g'e _d-ay of eight hours of continuous operation during the 90 days preceding today.
During the period of @ days beginning today, producers may not sell, ship, or deliver any construction lumber e.xcept_ to or for the account of the Army, Navy, or Maritime Commission, or lumber which is to be physically incorporated into material which will be so delivered.
Producers may sell, ship, or deliver any construction lumber to _any c-ontractor or subcontractor for the Army, Navy, or Maritime Commission, when the lumber is io be used for plant construction or expansion of facilities for the manufacture or processine of material for the armed services or the Mariiime Comirission. Such projects must be rated on Preference Rating Certificate, PD-3, PD3,A., _or PD-4, or under any of the F-19 s.eries oi preference Rating Orders.
All persons are prohibited from accepting deliveries which are barred by the terms of the order.
When producers make permitted sales or deliveries through other persons, the purchaser must certify by endorsement on the purchase order or contract that alf construction lumber covered by the puchase is to be sold, shipped, or delivered in compliance with the terms of the order.
Producers who sell or deliver construction lumber to contractors, or subcontractors requiring the lumber for military plant construction or expansiorimust first secure a signed e_ldorsement from eitlier a contracting or inspecting official of the Army, Navy, the Maritime Commission, or the Defense Plant Coiporation, as the case may be.
Construction lumber actually in transit on the date of issuance of the order may be delivered to its ultimate des- tination. The order also places no restrictions on the sale, shipment, or delivery by one producer to another. Ship-ments of construction-lumber nol otherwise permitted !y_the-order rnay be authorized in specific cases'on Form PD-423 by the Director of Industry Operations.

When Peter A. Stone of the Office of Price Administration was in California recently he requested that a committee be appointed by the manufacturers of Redwood lumber to confer with him in Washington, D.C. on the matter of ceiling prices for Redwood lumber. The committee met with Mr. Stone in Washington, May 19, and the conference was concluded on May 25. It is expected that ceiling prices for Redwood will be announced in the near future.
The committee consisted of Jim Farley, The Pacific Lumber Co., Henry M. Hink, Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co., Mason E. Kline, Union Lumber Co., and Frank H. White, Hammond Redwood Co.
Hobbs Wall Lumber Company has moved its offices to Suite 1102, Financial Center Building, corner of California and Montgomery Streets, San Francisco.

Volume of new home projects, privately financed and actually starting construction under FHA inspection during the week ending May 15, disclosed a continuing healthy home building condition in the Southern California District, according to the report of Wilson G. Bingham, District Director, Federal Housing Administration.
The week's home building activities reached a total of 215 new homes beginning construction under FHA inspection in this district, exclusive of the San Diego area, and represented an increase ol 26/o over the previous week's 17I new jobs, the report shows.
"Receipt of approximately 40o new applications for FHA insurance of home mortgages during the same week contributes to this healthy home building situation, and substantiates the belief that builders generally are confident that home building through private initiative and use of private funds will continue available throughout the duration of the'War," said Mr. Bingham.

The pace of war building is increasing, and more building materials are being added to the critical lists each week. Until the needs of Army, Navy and Maritime Commission are filled, and these purchasers are assured of prompt deliveries of all future requirements, the amount of building materials which will be allowed to go through ordinary channels is somewhat uncertain according to the Northern and Southern California Homes Foundations.
"This does not in any way mean that civilian buildingparticularly essential repairs and maintenance-must be stopped," Bernard B. Barber and Orrie W. Hamilton, chairman of the Foundations, stated. "Retail dealers' stocks are not likely to be frozen, and in most communities are large enough to supply the building materials allowed under the recent building order, for some time to come.
"Manufacturers will be able to replenish dealers' stocks, as soon as they have caught up with war orders. Lumber, the latest major building material to be affected by freezing orders, is expected to be withheld from the civilian market only temporarily, to give the industry a chance to catch up with a huge backlog of Army and Navy commitments.

"For the duration, if need be, and at least until necessary war building is taken care of, every American family will be content to use construction materials for repairs and simple home improvements, delaying building the longdreamed-of new home until our country has been built strong enough to assure a victorious peace in which to enjoy it."

Chicago, May l4-"Extension of the new WPB restrictions on the sale of softwood construction lumber beyond the 6Gday period announced may be unnecessary," said M. L. Fleishel, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, speaking for a group of seventy-five leading producers meeting in Chicago to make plans to step up production further.
Mr. Fleishel declared his belief that production plans already in operation prior to the announcement of the order and in contemplation will eventually alleviate the construction lumber emergency. He pointed to the fact that until the last few weeks lumber has been available for all war needs and civilian requirement.
Many producers who are already on a heavy overtime basis believe that the WPB will not find extension of the freezing order necessary, if skilled woods and mill labor is permitted to stay on the job and if logging and mill equipment and supplies are available.
"Lumber was one of the first basic materials required in great volume for the original defense effort," said Mr. Fleishel, who added that early conditioning of the industry for intensive production under the stimulus of the National Defense Program has increased the ability of the industry to meet the present emergencies. He stated that over 80 per cent of the present harvest of forest products is already going directly into war uses.
Arthur T. IJpson, newly appointed chief of the Lumber & Lumber Products Branch, Production Division, War Production Board, announced the formation of a Lumber Industry Advisory Committee at a session of the Lumber & Timber Products War Committee, in a three-day meeting at ihe Blackstone lfotel, May 12,13, and 14.
The Advisory Committee is in two sections comprising 16 softwood manufacturers and 10 hardwood manufacturers. The softwood representatives are:
M. L. Fleishel, Putnam Lumber Co., Shamrock, Florida; Kenneth Hancock, M. S. Hancock & Son, Casco, Maine; F. C. Mills, Mills Lumber Co., Acworth, Georgia; C. R. McPherson, Wilson Cypress Co., Palatka, Florida; C. C. Sheppard, Louisiana-Central Lumber Co., Clarks, La.; Lacy Hunt, Tilford Hunt Co., Nacogdoches, Tex.; L.K. Pomeroy, Ozark-Badger Lumber Co., Wilmar, Arkansas; Frank H' Ilimes, Crandon, Wisconsin; Carl Bahr, California Redwood Distributors, Ltd., Chicago; J.M.Brown, Long I-ake Lumber Co., Spokane, Washington; Dana McDuffie, Blagen Lumber Co., Stockton, California; F. K. Weyerhauser, Weyerhatiser Sales Co., St. Paul, Minnesota; Charles Snellstrom, manager, Snellstrom Bros., Inc., Eugene, Oregon; W. C. Savage, Lake Washington Mill Co., Renton, Washington; O. R. Miller, president, Mt. Jefferson Lumber Co., Portland, Oregon; W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, S.eattle, Washington.
The hardwood representatives are: Orven Johnson, Johnson Lumber Company, Manchester,
N. H.; Bruce Pancake, Pancake Lumber Co., Staunton, Virginia; E. M. Vestal, Vestal Lumber & Manufacturing Co., Knoxville, Tennessee; J. W. Damron, W. M. Ritter Lumber Co., Columbus, Ohio; Lee Robinson, Mobile River Sawmill Co. (Exporter), Mt. Vernon, Alabama; Walter Kellogg, Kellogg Lumber Co., Monroe, La.; C. W. Parham Lumber Co., Memphis, Tennessee; Carl L. White, Breece White Manufacturing Co., Eudora, Arkansas; A. O.
Anderson, Michigamme, Michigan; O. T. Swan, secretarymanager, Northern Hemlock Hardwood Manufacturers Association. Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The first meeting of the Advisory Committee will consider the following matters, Mr. Upson said:
1. Factors adversely affecting maximum lumber production for war purposes and methods of their control.
(r) Labor. Present supply. Drift to other industries. Present extent of overtime operation.
(b) Availability of equipment repair parts, replacements, and operating supplies. Needed prioritv ratings thereon. Suggestions for general allocation policy.
(c) Federal lumber specifications. Intra-federal competition.
2. Trends in lumber production for the balance ol 1942.
3. War production requirements. To what extent can they be met by industry ?
4. Rate and amount of substitution of wood in uses heretofore using metals and materials now under priority. Softwoods. Hardwoods.
5. Limitation order L-121.
6. Should lumber distribution and use be brought under a priority rating system generally.
Special topics for those committee members interested:
7. Other pressing problems of industry.
8. Frequency of future meetings. Softwood committee. Hardwood committee.
9. Supplies'of and needs for limitation orders on:
(a) Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine peeler logs for plywood industry.
(b) Sitka spruce and Douglas fir aircraft log and lumber grades.
(c) Birch logs for aircraft plywood. Other species. In opening the meeting of the Lumber & Timber Prod-
Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, prefaced his remarks by reading the opening paragraphs of a speech he had made in 1918, under comparable national and industry circumstances, which seemed especially apropos again today.
"Twenty months ago the industry declared that there would be no bottleneck in the national defense program," Dr. Compton said. "That was a justifiable statement then. Since then the scope of the defense program and now the war program, in terms of national production, has been multiplied more than seven times. Pearl Harbor and its aftermath of gigantic war expansion has brought a congestion of war construction which for the time being at least has converted this fundamental safety valve industry into a bottleneck.
"Even the Army, the Navy, and the shipyards are not now getting enough lumber. There are two ways to meet that situation. One is to drive for increased production so far as that can be accomplished. The second is to ask other defense, essential civilian and farm users of lumber to stand aside temporarily until the Army, the Navy, and the shipyards can get what they need.
Wilson Compton ucts War Committee, at which were represented 35 lumber and timber products industries, M. L. Fleishel, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, read a telegram from Donald Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board, which said:
"In order to meet the imperative and immediate needs of the War and Navy Departments and the Maritime Commission for construction lumber for the housing for the armed forces and for other essential war purposes I urge you and through you all logging and sawmill operators and lumber industry employees throughout the United States immediately to inaugurate a full program of maximum production of all species of softwood lumber in common board dimensional and structural timber sizes and grades, the situa' tion is so critical that I ask your immediate cooperation and action."
"Both these ways are being used. The first based on an appeal from the War Production Board for maximum lumber production which, for the most part, probably can be accomplished only through overtime operations. The second is proposed through a pending Limitation Order of the War Production Board which proposes temporarily tcl limit shipments of construction lumber from sawmills to the Army, Navy, and the Maritime Commission.
"This Order would, of course, ordinarily be regarded as confidential information until issued. But the fact that it was publicly, although prematurely, announced on the Pacific Coast last week by officials of the War Department and is publicly known as far south as Chile and as far north as Newfoundland would apparently relieve it of any confidential status.
"This condition is one which we will have to get along with if for no other reason than that we shall have, for the time being at least, no chance to get along without it.
"This congestion of war requirements of lumber would have been greatly relieved if the war agencies months ago had taken your advice that they coordinate their specifications, anticipate their major lumber requirements so far as possible, and frankly buy in advance for reserve. I think

They found a lot of courage, that simmered in the sun, Then blended it with lntience, and just a spice of fun, They poured in hope and laughter, and then with sudden twist-
They stirred it all together, and made an optimist.
The local weather bureau forecaster missed his predictions so badly and so often that he became a standing joke in the community, to his great annoyance, for he was by way of being a sensitive soul. So he applied for a transfer to another city.
"Why " asked headquarters, "do you want to be transferred?"
"Because," replied the unfortunate weather mai, "the climate here does not agree with me."

It makes very little difference what you have to do so long as you work with intensity and enthusiasm. You must work hard, think hard, love hard. Make up your mind that your whole life is a struggle against weakness and tempta. tion, against sickness and misery, against sham and falseness of all sorts. Every time you fail to accomplish the thing you set out to do, another step has been taken toward that bourne where the incompetent wither and shrivel up. All life, so far as we know, is struggle.
The true lumberman is one who possesses the patience of Job, the urbanity of a Chesterfield, the philosophy of a Marcus Aurelius, the mind of a poet, whose mirth bubbles up like a fountain, who recognizes humanity in man, is tolerant of his foibles, forgive his sins, and is great in the little things of life. THIS is the true lumbennan.
"Yes" said the specialist as he stood at the bedside of the sick purchasing agent, "I can cure you."
"\Mhat will it cost?" asked the purchasing agent.
"One hundred dollars" promptly replied the specialist.
"You'll have to shade that price a little," said the purchasing agent. "I've got a better bid from the undertaker."
"Enclosed find check" The sweetest words That e'pr oritclassed the song of birds I How they allay the widow's fears, And dry the orphan's briny tears !
When sad and tired and short of kale, A letter comes by morning mail, Like other letters it appears, With postage stamp, and inky smears-
"No doubt" we sigh, "it is a dunSome frantic person after mon; These beastly bills we cannot pay, Take all the sunshine from the day."
"And make us wish that we were dead, With stacks of granite overhead-" And then with languid hands we tear The envelope to see what's there.
And then out comes a note, by heck, With these brave words: "Enclosed find check." Ah ! Then we bid farewell to woe, And like the Brahma roosters crow !
The sun once more is cutting hay, The gloomy clouds are blown awey, The world is glad, that was a wreck Changed by the words-"Enclosed find check."
The gentlgman stopped to talk to the wee bit of a girl who was making mud pies alongside of the walk. He said:
"Say, honey, you're pretty dirty, aren't you?"
"Yes" said the little girl, "but I'm prettier, clean.',
(Continued from Page 17) that advice was not heeded because of the prevailing belief that lumber could stand it without becoming a bottleneck. But the plain fact, visible to all of us and no.w to all of them, is that finally too many liberties have been taken with lumber and timber products and that some drastic actions now are necessary. With Mr. .IJpson, as the new Chief of the newly-founded Lumber and Lumber Products Branch of the War Production Board, it is not too much to expect that eventually these situations will be greatly improved. No one better than he knows the necessity of coordination of specifications and of purchasing.
"The first general Conservation Order issued two weeks ago prohibiting the use of metals in hundreds of civilian industrial products will undoubtedly add new strains on lumber supply and lumber production. Fortunately these strains will fall principally on shop and factory softwoods and hardwoods and not much on construction lumber. But the predicted and prospective ,substitutions of wood products for metals needed more for the fighting tools are in fantastic figures.
"It is hoped and expected that you will make appropriate recommendations with respect to these facts and problems for the guidance not only of the industry but more immediately for guidance of the official Lumber Industry Advisory Committee to the War Production Board which will have its first meeting in Washington on Saturday of this week. Most of the members of that Committee are here today. In addition it is hoped that you will give consideration to the continuance of this Lumber and Timber Products War Committee and if you conclude to continue it, it is hoped that you will make appropriate provision and recommendation for the future guidance of its activities.
"We are not funning this war. We cannot have everything our way. We can and should give the war agencies candid advice. But they must reach the conclusions as to policy and action and we must ,cooperate with those conclusions. We.cannot ourselves choose the song. But we will all want to join in the singing."
The army will require during the balance of May and the month of June an estimated 900,000,000 board feet of lumber, Walter T. Deadrick, chief, Materials & Equipment Section, Construction Division, Corps of Engineers, told the meeting. The Army is now spending $24,000,000 per month for lumber. The Corps of Engineers, he feels, will have to adjust its construction program to accord with
the available supply of materials. The Army will buy above or below specified grades, if such grades are not available, he declared
E. C. Leach of the Rubber Conservation Committee, Office of Production Administration, urged upon the meeting the necessity for extraordinary care of tires that their working life may be extended to the utmost.
Harry G. Uhl, vice-president, Timber Engineering Company, told of many new developments in timber engineering and wood science that have been accelerated by the nation's need for mateiials and items in which shortages have been created by the war.
Faced by enormous demands for a bumper harvest of forest products to meet war needs, yet impelled by a desire to keep the forest green for posterity, the Executive Committee by NLMA adopted a program of tree farms.
The Association approved in toto the forest conservation policy, drawn up by its Forest Conservation Committee.
The Lumber Industry Forest Legislative Program
Taking first things first, we urge Congress to enact an amendment to the Clarke-McNary Act increasing the Section 3 authorization for cooperative forest fire control from $2,500,000 to a minimum of $9,000,000; that $7,500,000 be appropriated in the 1943 fiscal year for this purpose; and that $1,000,000 be authorized under the Act to combat forest tree insects and diseases.
Secondly, we urge that 5.789, providing for cooperative sustained yield units, be enacted with some simple amendments.
In addition, we recommend the enactment of 5.1201, providing for payments in lieu of taxes on Federally-owned or acquired lands, and 5.601, providing for early completion and maintenance of the forest survey as conducted by the U. S. Forest Service.
'We authorize cooperation with a recognized school of forestry for a study under the direction of a nationallyknown forester who will report on industry achievements toward continuous forest production, and also on the relationship between state forestry policies and state forestry organizations to forestry on private ownerships. This report to be completed during the calendar year 1942 and, made available to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

May 2,1942.-Wood has a dual role in today's building field-filling all the orders of Army and Navy and Air Corps and containing the supply of material for all allowable civilian construction.
For the use of designers in both fields, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has recently published three blueprints illustrating recommended methods of nailing wood sheathing and bracing. The blueprints, Plate 1Diagonal Sheathing with No Bracing; Plate 2-Horizontal Sheathing with l"x(' Let-In Bracing; Plate 3-Horizontal Sheathing with 7'x4' Cut-In Bracing, were prepared by J. Lister Holmes, architect, and show the best means of construction for stiffness and strength.
Another booklet prepared for architects and designers is "Wood Gutter of Douglas Fir." With the present shortage of metals, wood gutters will be more generally used than in the past. Because of their complete harmony with the balance of the structure, wood gutters have been used by architects on the finest examples of wood-constructed homes and buildings. They have earned a reputation for durability, ease in installation, and low cost.
A third new leaflet is "Crossarms of Douglas Fir," giving service records as reported by executives, engineers and maintenance men of telephone, power and railroad companies throughout the country. All transportation and communication systems have a need, now, for increased facilities. The intent of the booklet is to prove wood's suitability and availability for the job.

Washington, D. C., May 15-The U. S. Department of Agriculture announced today that Commodity Credit Corporation will purchase grain storage bins from whatever sources available to be used in relieving the congested storage situation in the heavy wheat-producing States. The offer provides for the purchase of bins having an individual capacity of from 1,000 to 2,4O0 bushels and not to exceed a combined capacity of 1@,000,000 bushels.
The bins will be used for storing wheat delivered to the Corporation in satisfaction of loans and will als,o be made available to producers who are unable to make other arrangements for storage of the 1942 crop.
The offer permits the storage structures to be prefabricated or precut and to be made from lumber and other materials ordinarily used in this type ,construction. The bins or material will be purchased from manufacturers or suppliers on a contract basis. Individuals and firms interested in receiving information should apply to the Washington office of Commodity Credit Corporation.

Portland, Oregon, May S-Timber Engineering Company, Inc., of Washington, D. C., has opened a branch office in the Yeon Building here. Establishment of the office has been occasioned by in,creased building of war projects which has brought a growing demand from engineers and architects for technical information.
The Timber Engineering Company, a subsidiary of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D. C., was established by the lumber industry to develop and promote improved techniques in timber construction.
The Portland office will be under the general direction of J. E. Mackie, formerly of Portland, who is now manager of the San Francisco office of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.
In direct charge of the office is Alden K. Smith, formerly assistant technical director of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. A product of Colgate and George Washington universities, Mr. Smith was born in Berkeley, California, and gained west coast business experience with Western Timber Structures, Inc., and the Timber Engineering Company of California, both of San Francisco.

Washington, May 20-A nation-wide survey of all construction started since April 9, effective date of conservation order L-41, has been inaugurated by the compliance branch, the WPB announced today.
Home Owners Loan Corporation is lending the services of approximately 3,000 of its examiners for the detailed check of the degree of observance of the terms of the conservation order, issued last month to assure use of scarce materials only in essential building operations.
Reports of the HOLC examiners will be reviewed by the compliance branch, the appropriate action will be taken in cases of violation of priorities procgdures or the provisions of. I-41.
This operation is in addition to the compliance survey of the transactions of builders engaged in construction of privately-financed war housing projects, currently being made for WPB by some 200 inspectors loaned by the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor.
Other compliance surveys announced today by the WPB include one into operations of silverware manufacturers, who normally use ,considerable quantities of copper, and another into inventories and uses of jewel bearings. The field investigations for both will be carried out by attorneyexaminers of the Federal Trade Commission. on behalf of WPB.

The roof of the new recreation center at Yesler Terrace. a USHA project in Seattle, Washington, is a fine example of applied wood technology.
The long beams, 14" wide and 40P' deep, were built up with 7,800 board feet of 2"x4" and. 2"x10" seasoned dimension lumber, No. I Douglas fir and No. 1 Sitka spruce. The use of two species of wood in a single beam is new -and serves to illustrate the versatility and practicability of laminated construction.
On a weight-for-weight basis, Douglas fir and Sitka spruce have a greater tensile strength, with the grain, than structural steel. The fullest use of this strength is employed by building "laminated wood,,' or selected lumber bonded with the grain by modern construction glues, forming a uniform member of any shape or size desired.
The long laminated beams support the 67-loot ceiling; the smaller cross beams are wedge-cut solid pieces of Douglas fir. Scarfed joints, Z}-penny nails and temporary clamps were used with 27O pounds of Laucks construction glue to bond the beams. They were assembled with proper camber in five and a half days and delivered to the job site by logging truck.
Attwell Construction Company, Seattle, manufactured the beams. Mr. Attwell has been working with laminated

Official opening of Wheeler Osgood's modernized and streamlined plywood plant recently completed in Tacoma, Washington, following the January fire, has just been announced by Norman O. Cruver, vice-president and general manager of the concern. "This modernized plant is a credit to its designers and builders, the staff of Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation," Mr. Cruver said.
"Outstanding among new equipment and machinery installed in the completely modernized plant is a new giant Merritt l&opening Hot Plate Press, opening and closing at an average rate of 8 to 12 times every hour. Each time this mammoth press opens, it receives a batch of veneer and glue and at the same time ejects a full load of newly made plywood, a product made under new, modern and scientific methods.
Back of this new machine, ahead and on both sides is evidence of the installation of modernized equipment which is responsible for a complete re-alignment of production processes.
Veneer dryers have been thoroughly reconditioned while veneer patching, sorting and grading will be carried on under a new roof. This is part of a giant, new trussed roof building, constructed free of posts which otherwise would mar the splendid working space provided. A new 8-drum sander has taken its place in the finishing line beside two others, reconditioned and well able to do the finishing job needed on Douglas Fir plywood.
Last fall a new Merritt lathe was installed which now unrolls veneer into tiers of trays, carrying the long sheets of this product to the automatic clipper.
The completely modernized Wheeler Osgood plant covers an area of approximately 125,000 square feet.

WOLMANIZEEl AND CREOS()TED LUMBER
Washington, May 26-John L. Rogers, director of the Division of Motor Tiansport in the office of Defense Transportation, has advised that the ODT will grant exemption from its order requiring trucks to iarrv at leait 75 per cent load on return trips in the case of trucks employed exclusively in hauling lumber for defense projects and where it is shown that the trucker findi it- impossible to arrange for back-haul loads.
Of the utmost importance to the lumber industry are General Orders No. 5 and No. 6, issued by the Office of Defense Transportation, Director Joseph Eastman, as "Conservation of Motor Equipment."
No. 5 goes into efiect June l, 1942. Its purpose is to conserye tires and equipment, eliminate waste in operations and curtail schedules as specified. It affects every "over-the-road" private truck operator.
Under this order, no private carrier shall operate a truck and transport a gross load which exceeds by more than 2O per cent its rated capacity, nor operate a truck over the road unless it is loaded to capacity at point of origin. On return trip, the truck must be loaded to 75 per cent of capacity.
However, a truck may move empty from the point of final discharge of the load to a, nearby point where traffic is available for loading, if such traffic cannot otherwise be transported.
"Over-the-road" service means all operations except those wholly within any municipality or urban community, or between contiguous municipalities or urban communities, or within a zone adjacent to and commercially a part of same, or except hauls of not more than 15 miles in length.
Excepted from the order are the following operations: A motor truck exclusively containing explosives or dangerous articles; a truck controlled and operated by one principally engaged in farming when used in hauling agricultural commodities from farrns to markets, or supplies from markets to farms; public utility trucks; public health and safety trucks; trucks operated by the armed forces of the Federal or State Government; trucks that are given special permits by the ODT.
General Order No. 6, issued by the Office of Defense Transportation affects local deliveries, within any municipality or between contiguous municipalities or urban communities; or within a zone adjacent to and commercially a part of same, or in making hauls which do not exceed 15 miles in length.
Effective May 15, the order provides that:
(a) No local carrier shall make any special deliveries except to hospitals and delivery of medicines and other supplies necessary to the protection in emergencies of health, life and safety.
(b) Nor make any call backs.
(c) Nor make more than one delivery on any one day to any one person. However, if one day's shipment, or shipments to any one person exceeds the capacity of a single vehicle, then in that event delivery of same in full shall be considered as one delivery.
The order further requires that effective June I each local carrier shall reduce the total monthly vehicle mileage of rubber tired vehicles a minimum amount of 25 per cent of the total mileage of vehicles in operation during the same months of 1941.This 25 per cent reduction is to be over and above what you save from elitnination of special deliveries, call backs and only one delivery a day to each person as set out above. If you were not in business in 1941, then the month of May, 1942, is to be your comparative month for computing the 25 per cent reduction.
"special delivery" means a delivery by vehicle made at the special instance or request of a person other than regular scheduled service.
"Call back" means every call by vehicle of a local carrier at the premise of any person subsequent to the first call on any given day, and includes calls made for the sole purpose of picking up property for return, or for making collections.
If joint and collective action is taken by local carriers to curtail or pool deliveries, such a plan should have the fullest participation of all interested merchants, and must not contain any unreasonable restraints of trade, or the deliberate exclusion of a competitor from the benefits of such a program, or be the excuse for joint selling activities.
Every local carrier is required to prepare and maintain records as to mileage and such other records as the ODT may hereafter call for.
The following vehicles are exempted from the order:
When operated exclusively in connection with maintenance of essential telegraph, telephone, radio communications, electric light and power, gas, water supply, sew-age and garbage disposal, and sanitation services.
Vehicles of all the armed forces, Federal and State.
Vehicles controlled and operated by any person or persons principally engaged in farming when used in the transportation of agricultural commodities and products thereof from farms, or in transporting supplies to farms.
Local carriers engaged in performing pick up and delivery services for line-haul motor, rail, express, air and water carriers, as well as freight forwarders.

Following are replies received from William V. Kahler, chief of the Construction Branch, War Production Board, in respect to specific questions submitted to the War Production Board by the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association.
Question 1: May farm buildings (other than houses) which have been destroyed since December 31, 1941, by an act of God, fire, flood, etc., be restored to the same extent as Conservation Order L-41 permits the restoration of residential construction destroyed since December 31, 1941, by the aforesaid agencies?
Answer: Specific authorization to begin construction is necessary before one can reconstruct farm buildings, other than houses, destroyed by an act of God, fire, flood, etc., after December 31, 1941.
Question 2: Does every application for authority to begin construction have to go to Washington, or can it be acted upon by the Regional Ofifice of the War Production Board and the necessary permission granted?
Answer: Authorizations to begin construction are granted only in Washington. The regional Offices of the War Production Board have not this power.
Question 3: With regard to farm construction, who should be contacted as the representative of the Department of Agriculture in order to secure permission to commence construction of farm buildings costing more than $1,000.00?
Answer: Applications to begin construction of agricultural buildings should be filed with the local Department of Agricultural War Board.
Question 4: What remedy is available to a dealer who has refused an order which he believes is to be used in a job being built in violation of L-41, and the same order is taken by another dealer who makes delivery thereof ? When, and by what methods, will L-41 be enforced ?
Answer: A dealer may report anyone who is violating Conservation Order No. L-41 to the War Production Board. The Order will be enforced by the Compliance Division of
the Board with the cooperation of various other governmental agencies.
Question 5: Can a farmer build a horse barn costing $900.m and, within the same twelve-month period, build a hog house costing $600.00?
Answer: A farmer cannot build a horse barn costing $900.00 and a hog house costing $600.00 within the same twelve-month period without specific authorization, because the barn and hog house are construed to be part of the same agricultural project.
Question 6: What is the correlation between Conservation Order L-79 and, Conservation Order L-41, and how are the two Orders to be reconciled ?
Answer: There is no repugnance between Conservation Order L-41 and Conservation Order L-79. L-41 generally restricts building. L-79 limits the delivery of plumbing and heating equipment to any except those who can obtain a priority rating. It is possible that one might be authorized to begin construction under L-41 and then be unable to get plumbing and heating equipment. L-41 is particularly aimed at the person who has his essential materials on hand and needs no priority assistance. It is also designed to discourage the person who bootlegs material and in the absence of this Order could proceed without priority assistance.
Comment: We do not consider this an answer to the problem of making Conservation Order L-41 and Conservation Order L-79 consistent. It is the understanding of this office that those in charge of the administration of Order L-79 are now considering amendments which will make the administration of the Order consistent with the permissions ot L-41,
Question 7: Is free labor considered a part of the costs of a building or project? ',
Answer: Free labor, such as work performed by the owner of the building or by neighbors participating in a barn raising does not have to be included in determining the "cost" of construction under Conservation Order L-41. Thus, if a structure is erected entirely without labor cost, the "cost" need not include any labor factor.

San Francisco, California, March 30,1942-An all-purpose poultry house constructed of stock sizes and economical lengths and grades of California Redwood lumber is the subject of a circular just reprinted by the California Redwood Association to meet the increasing demand for information on farm buildings.
Featuring the unit system of construction, the poultry house described meets all the requirements of a commercial plant or a small farm flock. Its design is based on years of practical experience of farmers and poultrymen, resulting in a building containing the greatest amount of housing and conveniences at lowest possible cost.
The unit system of construction makes possible many variations in size and layout of the plant to meet individual requirements.
