Portland, Oregon, May 15.-April lumber shipments from the Douglas fir region exceeded those of any month during 1946 and nearly equalled the peak reached in February, 1947, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, announced today.

Average weekly shipments from Oregon and Washington during April were 135,156,000 board feet. The February peak was 136,881,000. Despite continuing high production, April shipments exceeded both the production and order totals.

disclosed that gross stocks on hand at Pacific Northwest are lower than at any year, indicating that lumber is being abit is manufactured.

"The record of heavy shipments to all parts of the country demonstrates that lumber is being distributed rvith all possible speed into the normal construction channels," Simpson said.

Pacific Coast \Tholesale Hardwood H. R. Northup Comments On T-E-\(l Bill Distributors Victoria, B. Will Meet in C., June 12-14

The Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association will hold its 24th annual convention at the Empress Hotel, Victoria, 8.C., June 12, 13 and 14.

There will be a representative attendance from all the principal Pacific Coast cities.

Reservations should be made with Bru,ce Mclean, secretary and treasurer of the association. His address is: care of the General Hardwood Co., fr2o East D Street, Tacoma, Washington.

Dallas Donnan, EhrlichHarrison Co., Seattle, is president of the Association. Clarence Bohnhoff, Bohnhoff Lumber Co., Los Angeles, is vice president.

Plcrcerville Lumber Co. Opercrtions Stcrt

Owing to the absence of snow below the 6,000-ft. elevation, the Placerville Lumber Company" Placerville, Calif., is opening their three sawmills, together with all woods opefations, with a full crew of man, at least three weeks earlier than in any previous year.

This announcement came from Harvey West, partner of the firm, who stated that present plans call for the same lumber production as for the 1946 season, which was 45 million feet. The company is cutting 350M board feet of lumber a day.

Lloyd Beam is in charge of all logging operations; Jim Hinds, superintendent of sawmills, and Ernst Oppenheim' er, office manager. Four hundred men are employed in all departments, including the sawmills, logging operations and the remanufacturing plants at Smith Flat, with an annual pbyroll of approximately one million dollars.

Washington, D.C., May 10-The Senate is now being asked to consider passage of the highly inflationary TaftEllender-Wagner Bill, while at the same time the President and Congress are seeking means of halting inflation, H. R. Northup, secretary-manager, National Retail l-umber Dealers Association, commented today.

The inconsistency of this procedure is so marked that even Senator Taft, chief proponent of the bill, has voiced a doubt as to its final passage, he continued.

There are three ways in which this bill 'lr'ill stimulate inflation in the housing field, Northup explained.

1. It proposes putting Government public housing programs in competition with private industry for available local supplies of materials and labor;

2. ft encourages thousands who normally would wait, to immediately borrow money for the purpose of building new homes.now;

3. It prciposes a Government expenditure of over $7 billion in the housing field at a time when the national debt is gouging approdmately $6 billion annually from taxpayers merely to pay interest, and at a time when our ioreign commitments may require unknown billions of dollars for an indefinite period of time.

"The T-E-W Bill proposes this huge expenditure without guaranteeing to the American public one additional house more than the private building industry would normally build anyway," Northup declared.

But requiring even closer consideration is the manner in whic[ it tends to deprive Americans of their personal liberties, Northup pointed out. Social segregation of individuals according to income groups has never been a part c-,f the American system of Government; yet vast public housing projects for housing low-income groups would have exactly that effect and stimulate class distinction.

Furthermore, no government has within its grasp the power to bestow food, clothing, or shelter upon its citizcns, unless its citizens first produce those items and turn them over to the government for re-distribution, Northup continued.

Is it not clear, then, Northup questioned, that this transfcr of property demands also the relinquishment of person:rl liberty? For, in effect, under the T-E-W Bill the government through taxation seizes the money with which to buy the houses it desires to re'distribute.

"Don't talk America short. The greatest calamity that could hit this country, short of war, would be another depression like we endured in the 30's. There seems to be a lot of propaganda and misinformation being dished out to the American people by "crepehangers" and "Prophets of Disaster', whose predictions since the war ended have been, to a great extent, as sour as vinegar and as distasteful as bilgewater. Nearly all of them take a slap at lumber. In spite of .'bellyachers,,' the productio'n of lumber continues to increase, the housing situation continues to improve, big construction is under way, and all that is necessary for lumber people is to keep working like they are doing now, and close their ears to the cry of "'woLF."

The above is the gist of J *J."a advertisement of the Sabine Lumber Company, of Houston, Texas, that has brought them tremendous acclaim from widely scattered lumbermen. *t<*

George S. Benson, the now nationally famous president of little Harding College, in Arkansas, is the author of a powerful letter addressed to our citizenship generally, in which he also attacks the present talk going the rounds about threats of depression. He offers suggestions that he says would successfully "_"-O:, any such danger.

He says that the safe and sane protection of this nation against financial or economic storm lies along one road and only one-production. We tried, increasing wages, and everything else went up, wiping out the wage increases. It will happen all over again, says Dr. Benson, if we continue on that routg and inflation will grow.

There is no way to go, says the eloquent Doctor, except toward hard work and high produ,ctivity. That's the formula that will enable us to keep business good and employment high, provided we start using it right now. We should tighten our belts, get our feet on the ground, and go,to work just as hard as it is possible for us to work. and there will continue to be good times for all. A greatly increased productivity per man hour is his formula for a hopeful America.

With increased productivity, with an honest hour's labor for every hour's pay, we could see a considerable lowering of prices with our present labor force and without increasing working hours. Indeed, he thinks it possible to increase output as much as 40 per cent, which would be

enough to bring about a deep reduction in general prices.

In his printed letter Dr. S.J"or quotes freely from recent suggestions from the "elder statesman,' Bernard Baruch on that same subject. Mr. Baruch says that the postwar world will be prosperous "only if men work,,' and he suggests a 5-rl day, 44 hour week, without strikes or layoffs until January, 1949 as a means of getting the vitally needed production.

Mr. Baruch says that a way must be found for production to flow smoothly, and that when this is achieved ,,a sense of security would return to worker and employer, and the reaction upon the economy of the world would be deep andl lasting."

Dr. Benson "tro ,rr"tl" "*nr.J for the return of high minded competition to this nation and its industry as one of the saving graces that will get production high and thus bring costs and prices down. He pleads for speed, stamina, accuracy, dependability, and initiative in our production efforts.

With much the same ino,lrn.*r,.r mind Dr. Lyndon o. Brown, President of Knox College and formerly a merchand'ising expert, said recently in a public address: ..To say that purchasing power can be increased merely by raising wages or by cutting prices, is a fool's argument. The source of purchasing power is production. Without a high level of produtcion, purchasing power suffers. A high income is of no value unless it represents the power to purchase, now or in the future, goods or services. A rebirth of craftsmanship is what we need in America today. We can have prosperity if either a high or low level is in such balance as to encourage production. We can have prosperity if we earn it." * * *

I agree that prices are generally too high. I deny that there is any possibility of fixing blame for those prices on any men or groups of men. Everything we have done for years past has aimed to develop our present situation. That situation will adjust itself as production and demand become properly lined up. Let us pray that it happens without too sharp a readjustment period. The old law of supply and demand is as dependlable and inexorable as the Law of Gravity. It has never failed yet when allowed free rein. Getting production up so that prices will adjust themselves smoothly and naturally, will ride us over the present nervous situation.

(Continued from Page 8)

A yogng man in flouston, Texas, is establishing an all-time high record for advertising Red Cedar shingles and shakes. A couple of years ago he bought a big shingle mill in British Columbia and became so enthusiastic over the product he makes that he is now spending over FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH to advertise it; and that in only the Southern part of the State of Texas. He thinks it is money well spent. Thus Maurice Angly is setting a hot advertising pace for the rest of the Red Cedar Shingle industry to shoot at. And particularly an industry that has never been lavish in its merchandising spending. All those who can read or hear in Angly territory have been made to learn about Red Cedar shingles and shakes. Such enthusiasm warrants notice, particulady with a man who spends advertising money fof only one purpose; to make more money.

Here are several wisecracks in semi-humorous vein recently made by Dr. Frederic P. Woellner of the University of Southern California in an add,tess to a lumber convention. "Those who can do-do. and those who can't do -1ssqh, and those who can't teach-practice law." "Trouble with many public .servants is, they have so much more power than they have ability." "If a man hasn't sense enough to meet a payroll, he writes a book on economics." "A dictatorship is a pyramid with the apex at the bottom." "Lincoln said. that no man is good enough to rule another man." "Freedom means a man's right to act like a jackass if he wants to and has sufficient intelligence." "Salesmanship means selling people on wanting things, for if you do they will buy twice as much from you as you would try to sell them."

"An executive," says 1n. *rrrnlo, Association of Commerce in Chicago, "is one who has the ability to plan, organize, teach, delegate, inspire, and secure maximum results through skillful leadership." And, they might add, who does most of his work on an overtime basis.

Letting well enough alone is a fine proverb for a man without ambition, but a drag-anchor on one who wants to get ahead. Nothing is well enough if you are capable of doing better. There is an old Spanish proverb that'says: "I will enjoy the little I have while the fool is hunting for more." The ambitious man turns that around and savs:

"While the fool is enjoying the little he has, I will hunt for more." The way to hunt for more is to utilize your time and ability without stint.

Walter Lippmann was at his best when he wrote: "Where all think alike, no one thinks very much." And Ken Smith, of San Francisco, President of the California Redwood Association was recently heard to remark: "In Russia it's against the law to think, while in the rest of the world it's against human nature."

Over the entrance of the Archives Building, in Washington, are these words: "What is past is prologue." If Uncle Joe Stalin's research boys should stumble on the secret of the atom bomb, we could change that to read: "\Mhat is past is all there will ever be."

Cedar Shingle Supply Increases

Hugh W. Mason of Fisk and Mason, Inc., South Pasadena wholesalers and lnanufacturers of red cedar shingles an4 shakes, in speaking of the cedar shingle situation recently said:

"The supply of red cedar shingles is steadily increasing and a greater demand has developed for the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau's Certigrade labeled shingles. This is apparently due to'the effect created by the large amount of inferior quality shingles that have been shipped into California in the last month or two. My opinion is that the price of shingles is rapidly approaching what will prove to be the normal postwar level.

"Dealers who refused to stock shingles at the recent inflated prices are now stocking and selling them again."

Forrest Wilson Announces Resigmction

Forrest W. Wilson, sales representative for the Masonite Corporation, has announced his resignation which will become effective July 1. He was with the company one year in Southern California, nine years in the Pacific Northwest and two years in Northern California.

Forrest intends to take at least three months' rest at his Hidden Valley ranch in the Joshua Tree National Monument. He acquired this picturesque homesteaded property about a. year and a half ago, and he plans to make some improvements on it, in fact he may develop it into a high class guest ranch.

Op"rators Committee Discusses Redwood Strike

An open letter from the Redrvood Operators Committee, and signed by Executive Director Ben S. Allen, explains in interesting detail the present status of the long continued strike at eight California Redr,vood sawmills, and presents some new aspects of the situation, in the following manner:

"The redwood lumber industry now has the dubious distinction of being afflicted with the longest strike in the country. This strike has just entered upon its sixteenth month.

"I shall not give you a detailed history of the strike. You will find these details very adequately covered in the brief submitted by the struck redr,vood operators to the Senate and House Labor Committees. It is interesting to note that extracts from this brief have been used on two occasions in the Senate debate on pending lbbor legislation. Senator Taft quoted in some detail material in the brief in his opening argument about the necessity of amending the Wagner Act.

"Not the length of the strike, but its present status, I feel will excite your interest and justify this letter.

"The strike in the redwood producing area, both in the woods and at the mills has become merely technical and the thin picket lines constitute only a futile gesture. Redwood lumber is being produced by the eight struck companies, shipped and sold. All of the mills are operating at normal or near normal capacity while the production of some is greater than in pre-strike days.

"You may well ask, 'What then is keeping the strike alive?' Nothing, except hot cargo and the secondary boycott. So-called 'hot redrvood' from the eight struck companies is being boycotted throughout the United States and Canada. In some of the best redwood markets in the country this boycott is 'ivithout any effect, and in others it is only applied sporadically.

"In California some of the large retail lumber yards and building contractors respect the boycott, although its use in this state is illegal. But these yards and 'construction jobs have closed shops and they do not choose to risk strikes by their own employees. Horvever, the struck lumber companies have no difficulty in disposing of all of the lum-

ber they desire to sell in California. Ironical as it may sound, the distribution and use of this so-called 'hot redwood' in California is called 'bootlegging,' despite the fact that the sale and use of such lumber is entirely lawful.

"There is growing evidence the A. F. of L. Carpenters and Joiners are getting tired of paying benefits to a de{unct strike and losing work in efforts to enforce the secondary boycott.

"There is only one reason why the redwood lumber strike is still in existence. It has now become purely a technical strike. That fact is due to the provision of the one-sided National Labor Relations Act, which disfranchises the present employees of the struck redwood operations. They have practically full crews but the certified bargaining agency is the union which went on strike fifteen months ago. The employers cannot negotiate. with their present crews and have even been threatened with charges of unfair labor practices for raising their wages. The struck operators are convinced that this anomalous situation can be cured permanently only through legislation."

Allied Veneer & Lumber Co. Moves to New Loccrtion

Allied Veneer & Lumber Co., rvholesalers of cabinet veneers and plywood, moved May 23 to their own new building at 5100 South Boyle Avenue, Los Angeles. Their new telephone number is LUcas 7Dl. The new building, built for an airplane hangar, has floor space of 24,000 square feet, and the site has a total area of two acres.

In speaking of the company's move, Otis H. Fine, president, remarked that the larger site provides space for giving improved service to customers, as rvell as ample space for customers' parking.

"We plan to enlarge our stocks of veneer and plyrvood to take care of expanded business. We started in this business in 1930, and have made a steady growth, and are still expanding," Mr. Fine said.

Nationwide Meeting for Lumbermen

Washington, D.C.-The nation's lumbermen-mill operators, loggers, distributors, and forestry specialists-will convene at the Congress Hotel in Chicago, June 16, for a three-day general meeting of the lumber industry.

This American Lumber Congress, sponsored by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, will bring together representatives of the producers, marketers, and consumers of lumber for participation in discussions on the pertinen't issues confronting the industry.

Highlighting this historic meeting will be addresses by prominent lumbermen and nationally known figures in public life and industry.

Senator Guy Gordon and Representative Harris Ellsworth, of Oregon, and Representative Everett Dirksen, Illinois, will be among the featured speakers.

Corydon \Magner, Tacoma, Washington, president of the American Forest Products Industries' Incorporated, rvill headline the session devoted to the "National Timber Supply." Ray Saberson, Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, St. Faul, will lead the panel on "MarketS." Q. T. Hardtner, lJrania, Louisiana, president of the Southern Pine Association, and C. C. Sheppard, Clarks, Louisiana, chairman of the Southern Pine Industry Committee, are two of the -outstanding leaders in the lumber manufacturing industry rvho will be featured in the program.

The session devoted to research will feature demonstrations of new products and uses of wood developed in industry laboratories and an address by a nationally known scientist who will discuss the contribution of research to the future of our economy.

"The high enthusiasm for this meeting is tangible evidence that the lumber industry is alive to its responsibilities in this postwar period," said C. Arthur Bruce, NLMA President. "The industry has made great strides in the philosophy and technology of growing, harvesting, ancl utilizing trees since our last general meeting a quarter century ago," Mr. Bruce added. "At this meeting we will plan for the Tuture-the future of our industry and its relationship with the future of our economy."

Veterans' Educational Program

Veterans' education and employee training were spotlighted against a year's successful experience during the afternoon meeting of the Board of Directors, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, at the Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D.C., May 14, 1947.

William C. Bell, Educational Committee Chairman, from Seattle, and Martin N. Chamberlain, Educational Director of the NRLDA, outlined the su,ccess of the Lumber Dealer 30-Day Short Course, which was designed to aid veterans desiring to enter the building material field.

"During the past year," Martin Chamberlain said, ,.1100 students have attended 27 short courses held in fourteen colleges and universities."

Lumber dealers stated that the course is equal to 9 months actual experience in a yard, and some of the employee students have said it was equal to 2 years experience in a lumber yard.

Scores of manufacturers and associations in the building field have contributed to the success of this 30-day short course. Over 200 industry leaders have lectured before the classes without recompense.

The FHA, the Veterans' Administration. and the Department of Commerce have all aided in publicizing the courses.

Chamberlain estimated that 30 classes will be held during the coming school year in the following universities and colleges : IJniversities of Washington, Denver, Purdue, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Southern Methodist University, New York State College of Forestry, Massachusetts State College, Michigan State College, Georgia School of Technology, City College of New York, College of the pacific, Pennsylvania State Col1ege, and North Carolina State College.

On-the-job related training for veterans has been provided by the lumber dealers through correspondence courses, and group study courses supported by the U.S. Office of Education, where vocational and highschool assistance are available.

The report of the Educational Committee also pointed out that 28 colleges and universities are now offering 2 and 4 year courses leading to a degree in Light Construction Marketing and Engineering.

The immediate development of the industry's educational program will include new textbooks and better visual aid materials.

Lignum Vitae Hardest Wood

Lignablock, which is lignum vitae in block form, trade marked, is distributed by Davis Hardwood Company, Bay and Mason Streets, San Francisco.

James Davis, manager of the company, said recently that lignum vitae is the hardest wood known, and that it weighs twice as mu,ch as oak. Approximately 30 per cent of its volume is in natural resin which renders the wood self-lubricating, and particulady adaptable for use under water.

H<rrold Hamilton Commqnder, Lumbermen's Pogt

Dinner will be served at 7:00 p.m. Cocktails may be obtained in the Rainbow Isle cocktail room from 6:00 to 7 :ffi p.m. There will be an unusually fine show following dinner. Don Gow, chairman of the Arrangements Committee, and the members of his committee have arranged for a gala evening's entertainment.

Tickets may be obtained from Harold Hamilton, John W. Koehl & Son, Los Angeles, who is Commander of Lumbermen's Post-his telephone number is ANgelus 8191.

Industry-Engineered Homes Program

For over a year this industry has been working to per, fect h home:building program of size standardization and mass production of prepackaged housing parts, Norman P. Mason, president, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, told the Board of Directors meeting at the Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D.C., May 14, 1947.

This plan, jointly sponsored by the NRLDA and the Producers Council, does not interfere with standard and timetested methods of site fabrication. It speeds erection and reduces waste.

In connection with this industry-engineered homes program the industry, in conjunction with the Department of Commerce, is cooperating in setting up at the University of Illinois a whole new study as to the proper utilization of labor in building-the proper routing and timing of the delivery of materials to the job and similar work.

Another example, Mason said, of progressive thinking is the recent setting up of a Building Research Advisory Board as an arm of the National Research Council. This new non-governmental agency will serve as a clearing house for the exchange of useful information on building problems developed by research activities all over the country.

The Board, now in the process of organization, was established at the request of the more than one hundred trade and professional associations which comprise the Construction Industry Advisory Council, an organization formed at the suggestion of the U.S. Chamber of Comrnerce to provide a channel for concerted action by all elements of a highly diverse industry.

Appointed Vice President and General Saler Manager

San Francisco.-On May ZI, Union Lumber Company, through its president, Otis R. Johnson, announced the appointment of William R. Morris as vice president and general sales manager of that company. Mr. Morris has been manager, of the company's eastern offices and has now been transferred to San Francisco and given the above title and all of the authority which goes with it.

Bill Morris brings to the sales managership of the Union Lumber Company nearly 40 years of experience in the production, distribution, promotion and sale of redwood products both in the United States and abroad. His lumber career commenced in 1908 when he went to lvork for the Union Lumber Company at its Fort Bragg plant, where lTe spent seven years.

In 1916 at the request of the Redwood Export Company, Morris was loaned to that company which sent him to Australia where he was eminently successful in promoting redwood for both construction and industrial uses. This phase of Morris' experience was brought to an end a year later by his entry into the United States Army where he served as First Lieutenant in the 91st Division in France for the duration of World War I.

In 1919 he returned to the Union Lumber Company, and at that time, opened its New York sales office as manager and later on his authority was extended to include all eastern sales offices of the company.

Mr. and Mrs. Morris have one son, Bill, Jr., who rvas recently discharged from the Navy.

Philippine Mahogany Case Finally Closed---Must Use

Prelix "Philip pine"

"Long ago and far away" as the song goes, the Federal Trade Commission, at Washington, brought suit, cease and desist orders, and other legal strictures of that sort, seeking to forbid makers and distributors of Philippine Mahogany from calling their wood "Mahogany." They claimed, that the stuff was not botanically a true Mahogany, and that therefore those who called it Mahogany were getting business and selling goods under false pretenses.

There was a long legal battle in which THE CALIFOR' NIA LUMBER MERCHANT joined enthusiastically, developing and publishing much material that aided the Philippine side of the arguryent. In Tact, we got our wrists slapped a few times by long-haired boys who insinuated that we did not know lrhereof we spoke when we talked timber botany. But we seem to remember getting the best of the argument.

Anyway, in 1931, the Federal Trade Commission decided that these Philippine hardwoods COULD be called Mahogany when the word Philippine was prefixed, and when no effort was made to claim that the woods were genuine Mahogany. But in 1939 the FTC announced a reopening of the case, and again there were hearings. So, it was with a sigh of relief that the men who sell Philippine in this country got word just the other day that the Commission had again decided the matter in favor of the Philippine Mahogany people. The case was ordered "closed," rvith the following added:

"This action is without prejudice to the right of the Commission to institute new proceedings against respondents in the event respondents should at any time engage in the practice of selling the Philippine woods in question as Mahogany without clearly designating such woods as "Philippine Mahogany." It is declared to be the fixed and definite policy of the Commission to proceed vigorously against all persons selling such woods, whether in the unfinished state or made into furniture, as Mahogany, without using the qualifying word "Philippine," and without fully informing the purchasing public that such rvoods are "Philippine Mahogany."

Which leaves the case just as it was from 1931 to 1939. You can call it Mahogany if you put Philippine in front of it, and don't try to fool anyone into thinking it is genuin'e Mahogany.

Urges Export Controls on Douslas Fir Be Lifted

Washington, D.C., May 14, I947-Asserting that export controls on west coast lumber are defeating their own purpose, J. R. Blunt, representing the West Coast Lumbermen's Association of Portland, Oregon, urged today before a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee that these controls not be extended past their scheduled expiration date of June 30, 1947.

"There is no shortage of general construction lumber in the United States today," said the West Coast representative. Stating that flooring and millwork are the only two lumber products still in short supply, Mr. Blunt told the committee that a market for the whole log must be found before it is economical to ,cut a log for the small percentage of wood it contains which is suitable for flooring and millwork.

"The output of shop lumber for millwork and of clear lumber for flooring depend directly on the total production of Douglas fir lumber," Mr. Blunt continued. "Domestic markets could not absorb the total production of the construction and common grades because of a transportation bottleneck," 50 per cent of Douglas fir production is located on the waterfront, he pointed out, and the scarcity of coastwise and intercoastal tonnage has seriously hampered the normal movement of this lumber to its markets.

In addition, the supply of railroad cars is inadequate to carry the region's potential production. Last year, production 'ivas curtailed because of lack of transportation facilities, Mr. Blunt asserted.

Explaining that "merchantable" and lorver grades are the principal export items, Mr. Blunt stated that markets abroad for these grades ". . rvill permit and encourage production of an additional quantity of clears and shop lumber for the domestic market, thereby helping to maintain the fullest possible production."

"An additional amount of export the amount of lumber available rather will increase the quantity of Mr. Blunt concluded.

business will not reduce for domestic use. but the most needed itdms."

Announces Ne* Plynrood Product

While small production runs now are being made o{ Welchboard in typical four-by-eight foot panels, the product passed the experimental stage long ago, and expansion of manufacturing facilities is being undertaken.

The product already has attracted attention for interior and exterior walls of homes, for construction of commercial refrigerators, for counter tops and fine cabinets. Any thickness of plywood can be utilized as a base for the "extra layer" of wood flour aggregate but a typical thickness of plywood used is /(-inch "rough" or unsanded. Over this

Culminating years of intensive research at developing an improved surface for plywood, A. R. Wuest, president of West Coast Plywood Co., Aberdeen, Wash., has unveiled an entirely new panel product already in limited production and scheduled for volume output within six months.

De;ignated as Welchboard for the firm official u,ho discovered and developed the material and the process for its manufacture, the panel actually is plywood rvith a smooth, relatively hard, durable surface added. A. R. Welch, vice president of the company and the inventor o{ the product, describes it as "plywood plus."

In surface appearance, the new material is about the color of the wood from which it is made-light tan in the case cf Douglas fir-but uniform and r,vithout grain pattern as the covering ply is comprised of minute u'ood fibers inseparably bound together.

It is an aclvanced panel material having all the inherent strength and other physical properties of plywood but with a superior, completely smooth surface as a base for the finest of finishes. The extra layer is formed of pulverized wood fiber, impregnated rvith resin and compressed under heat :rnd pressure.

Corrservation of raw material is achieved as the layer bonded to the plywood is manufactured almost entirely from clean wood waste at the factory that otherwise would be discarded or burned. The volume of panels prodqqpd can be increased perhaps 25 per cent over that previously obtained from the same amount of raw material (logs).

This cut-qwcy atrmple ol the newly-perlected "Welchboard" revecrls consiruclion ol the improved plywood product. Note the "extrc ply" which lorms tr smooth, hcrd, durcble surltrce.

used in the manufacture of plywood. Pressing time is less than five minutes or about the same as in the manufacture of plywood. The two operations are soon to be combined for production efifrciency.

Only exterior type plywood is utilized as a base and the high grade resin used as a binder in the surface likewise is waterproof. Accordingly, the finished panel of Welchboard is suitable for outdoor as well as indoor use although it is intended to be painted or given other suitable finish. It will withstand repeated wettings, long-time soaking or even boiling.

All the wood fiber for the smooth, dense surfacing is re.covered from factory waste. All that is added to this wood. which though finely ground is not changed from its ori.ginal form, is a small quantity of high quality resin binder.

When eventually marketed, Wellchboard will demand a price above that of quality grades of Douglas fir plywood, a differential in keeping with the added properties it gives the material in painting and finishing. 'Iests indicate that the surface will take the place of two to four base paint coats.

Because the base of Welchboard is real Douglas fir

plywood and the surface as well is wood fiber predominately, the panel can be cut and fastened with ordinary carpentry tools.

Licensing of other plywood manufacturers to produce Welchboard will be handled by the Plywood Research Foundation of Tacoma, Wash., a non-profit research organization set up two years ago by the plywood industry to work on elimination of waste in plywood production and development of new products. Several of the other plywood manufacturers of the area are preparing for production of the materibl at an early date.

The Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club is sponsoring his election, and his candidacy has been endorced by the other California Hoo-Hoo organizations. The annual convention will be held in Spokane, Wash., next September.

Roy, prominent Los Angeles lumberman, is president of E. J. Stanton & Son. He is a past Vicegerent Snark of the Los Angeles district and a former president of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club, an alumnus of Stanford University, and is active in many fraternal organizations. His entire business career has been spent in the lumber business, and he has the interests of the industry at heart.

"Management of the retail yards conducted by the Hammond Lumber Company at Healdsburg, Sonoma, and Boyes Springs, Calif., was given a vote of confidence by the employees at an election held May 2," according to a statement issued by the company.

"The employees voted 14 to I against being represented by Truck Drivers and Helpers Union Local 624, A.F.L., of Santa Rosa.

"The union had asked the company to negotiate a contract Tor the yards at Healdsburg, Sonoma and Boyes Springs, claiming it represented a majority of the employees. The company refused to concede this. The union then petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for an election.

American Wood-Preservers Hold 43rd Annual Convention

The largest national convention ir-r the history of the 43-year old American Wood-Preservers Association was held April 22 to 24 at the N{ultnomah I{otel, Portland, Ore, with over 500 n'ood-preserving officials, lumbermen, engineers and railroad and utility officers in attendance. A special train originating at Chicago brought members from the South, liast and Middle West to the. meeting r,vhere they rvere joined by a large clelegation from the eleven Western states.

In addition to technical reports on research der.elopments as lvell as a rvord of caution from the Service Bureau of the Association rvarning against departures from pressure treatments with standard preservatives, much attention rvas focused on the problem of distributing pressnre-treatecl Iumber through retail dealer channels. Wliile this method of distributing the industry's product has been steadily developed in Southern California and other parts of the Southwest, government officials pointed out that chemically-treated lumber lvill find increased use in futttre residential and farm construction in direct proportion to the material's availability to the home builder and the farmer.

I)resident Ralph H. Rarvson, consulting timber engineer of Portland, stated in his address that wood preservers, like the nation as a nhole, have been going through a period of readjustment during the past year. Despite some factors beyond control, the industry is en.rerging from the present reconversion period in a stronger position than ever.

Through research, Mr. Rarvson explained, the rvoocl preserver is expanding his field to cover not onl1. those treatments that may protect 'ivood against rot and insects but, in addition, treatments that may modify the mechanical properties of lvood or impart fire resistance.

Pacific Northr,r'est forests, like those in other regions, can be a permanent source of raw material for u'ood-preserving plants throughout the nation as "many of our sawmilis are now on a sustained yield basis and the tirnber interests in the Pacific Northrvest are solidlv back of tree farming," he said.

While recent shortages of creosote oil have resulted in the use of toxic extenders. fortifiers and substitute Dre-

servatives. the Service Bureau of the Association rvarned that reports are being received of failure within a short time of material superficially treated during the past few y.ears u'ith non-standard preservatives. In encouraging the develol>rnent of nerv preservatives, the Bttreau also cautioned that nerv compounds should be carefully considered on their merits, based on satisfactory perfonnance over a reasonable period of time, before being placed on par with present standards for creosote and salt treatments which have 'n'on prestige for the industry and confidence in its products.

"The increased use of rvood treated for long liie and fire resistance in homes au'aits only progressive trade promotion and the establishment of distributing channels," J. L. N{uller, acting chief of the U. S. Department of Commerce Forest l'roducts Division, Washington, D' C., stated in a prepared address. "I hope to see the day when every retailer of moderate size will have a stock of material variously treated and in standard sizes, grades and items regularly used in l-rouse construction. The wood-preserving industry *'ould not be the only beneficiary. The entire lumber and millrn'ork industry would benefit. For any progress in increasing the market for wood is shared as rvell by the producer of the prin.rary product-logs, posts, or piling-dou'n the line to the sawmill, fabricator, distributor, contractor and tradesman," he said.

"There has been a steady increase in the uses to which the farmer has put pressure-treated lumber and he will use more treated u'ood in direct ratio to its availability to him." the Diveriified Uses Committee of the Association reported. "Farmers as a group use more wood under severe conditions. of exposttre aud have more different uses for treated rvood than any otl-rer element in our economy. Hou' far the rvood-preserving industry develops the farm market rvill in the long run hinge on how well its individual member companies cultivates and rnake a serious effort to supply the market through retail channels acljacent to their plants," the committee pointed out.

As the result of a study made by H. W. Angell and \\/. A. McFarland of the Technical Department of the ,A.merican Lumber and Treating Company, converting factors have been established that allorn' the moistttre conteut

of treated wood to be determined by electrical moisture meters. Preservative che'micals alter the normal reading of such meters but the factors, in the form of correction tables, provide the necessary corrections, they explained.

Wood preservers were tlrged by H. F. Jefferson, general manager of the Nettleton Timber Company, Seattle, Wash', and C. A. Rishell, director of research for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D. C., to join in a cooperative research program to reduce the mechanical wear of wood cross ties. Heavier rolling equipment and higher train speeds are resulting in ties wearing out from friction long before their useful life should be exhausted, they said. While preservative treatment hirs increased the average life of a tie frorn between 3 to 9 years to between 20 and, 30 years, some method of hardening the wood, perhaps a resin treatment, must be found if this important market is to be saved for wood, they emphasized.

"Cost limitations should for some time to come prevent resin-impregnated plasticized wood from being used as a structural material for house building and similar applications, or for use in cheap and tnoderate priced furniture. However, the u'ood should immediately find use as a quality furniture ra\'v material. It should also find adaptation as a decorative and highly durable industrial flooring. It 'ivill go into novelty items such as trays and lamps and specialty trim and paneling," a report by Bruce E. Anderson, vice president of the Gavan Company, Inc., Atlanta, Ga., emphasized.

,^\. J. Loom, general superintendent of Wood Preservation for the Northern Pacific Rail'rvay, Brainerd, Minn., ."vas elected president of the Association for the coming year. Other offices named are G. B. McGough, superintendent, Bond Brothers, Louisville, Ky., lirst vice-president, and J. S. Giddings, superintendent, Sante Fe Tie and Lumber Company, Sommerville, Tex., second vice' president. H. L. Dau'son, Washington, D. C., was reelected secretary-treasurer. St. Paul, Minn., was chosen as the site for the 1948 convention.

FHA Insured Loans

Washington, D.C., May 27.-The Federal Housing Administration has now insured more than $10,000,000,000 of loans under various phases of its program, it was announced today by Raymond M. Foley, FHA Commissioner. More than half of this amount has been repaid or amortized. he said.

Beginning in 1934 when Congress passed the original National Housing Act establishing the FHA and authorizing it to insure mortgages on privately built and financed dwellings, the FHA has steadily developed as one of the key factors in home building and financing, Mr. Foley said.

In the course of insuring the impressive total of.$10,000,000,000 of mortgages and property improvement loans, FHA has built up reserves of more than $137,000,000 and has paid or will pay dividends of $4,50O,000 to borrowers who have paid off their loans. The Federal Housing Administration, 1\{r. Foley said, is self-supporting; its income in 1946 exceeded $24,000,000 after payment of operating expenses.

Since the end of the war, Mr. Foley said, FHA has concentrated its efforts on the production of housing Tor veterans. Emphasis is being placed on the building of apartments at rent levels compatible with veterans' income.

Program Action Plan

Following the adoption of its program for American forestry, the American Forestry Association, through its board of directors, has announced a five-point plan for immediate action toward its realization.

The Association stresses its policy of working through existing public and private organizations rather than forming a new organization in the conservation field. The action plan is designed to: (1) develop by a broad educational approach an ever increasing appreciation on the part of the general public of the importance of good forestry; (2) obtain increased services to inform the rnillions o{ owners of forest lands as to their opportunities to use their properties for continuous and profitable growing of trees; (3) encourage state and local governments, public and private agencies, to take greater responsibility and leadership in dealing constructively with their own forest conditions and needs; (4) serve as a clearing house of information relating to activities of the various groups, in the interest of better integration and coordination; and (5) enlist interest, participation and cooperation among all conservation, educational, civic, youth, farm, labor, financial, industrial and other groups in advancing the program.

An American Forestry Council will be organized to serve in an advisory capacity. Members of the council will be selected from leaders in the different fields of forest interest and public affairs.

Record Planting of Commercial Tree Seeds

A, record planting of 12,000,000 commercial tree seeds has been completed at the Forest Industries Tree Nursery, Nisqually, Washington, Earl McDermitt, nursery superintendent, announced this week.

By fall, McDermitt said, the nurSery rvill have produced an estimated 8,000,000 seedlings, largest crop in the sixyear history of the nursery. The seedlings are to be planted on privately-owned areas in Washington and Oregon which have been denuded by fire.

Ninety per cent of the seeds were Douglas fir, the remainder being divided among spruce, Port Orford cedar, Noble fir, Silver fir and Shasta fir.

The seedlings will be suffrcient to plant 15,000 to 20,000 acres of land orvned by both lumber and pulp companies, rvhich because of repeated burnings has failed to restock naturally, the superintendent said.

lVlcDermitt emphasized that more than 90 per cent of cut-over timber land' in the Douglas fir region restocks naturally, and that hand-planting is necessary only in rare instances.

The seedlings will be lifted from the nursery beds and planted beginning next November. Five hundred or more seedlings are planted to the acre, and of these approximately 15 reach saw timber size in a minimum of 60 years. Approximately 10,000 man-days of r,vork will be required in the planting of the 8,000,000 seedlings.

The Joint Committee represents the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the Pacific Northrvest Loggers Association.

Plan to Include Bay \Tindows

That bay windows are perennial favorite rvith home builders is shown anew by a nation-wide survey of home o\^rners conducted by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork. This survey reveals the fact that 32.4/o of those interested in new home planning prefer bay windows.

The popularity of bay rvindorvs is built on a firm basis of utility, millwork experts say. A bay window, for example, greatly increases the apparent size of a room, even though the actual area added is small. Since many new homes will be small in size, bay rvindorvs thus provide a nleans of creating an illusion of more sPace.

Decorators point out that ltay l'indorvs adcl exceptional livability and charm to living rooms, clining roolns and even bedrooms. In m:rny homes, tl.re extra space provided by a bay window is utilized for a u'indorv seat. In other homes, bay windows provide an ideal setting for breakfast or game tables, and are an additional means of "bringing the outdoors in."
