How l-rumber Lrooks

Portland, May 20, 1948-Wide-spread increased demand for Douglas fir lumber, stimulated by improved building weather throughout the nation, has caused a sharp upturn in shipments from Oregon and Washington sawmills, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Shipments for the four months of 1948 totaled 2,847,333,000 feet, topping same period lor 1947 by 143 million feet'

Record postwar production from West Coast sa"vrnills continued, Simpson said, with a four month's output of 2,875,188,000 feet, exceeding last year's 'cut for the same period by over 270 million feet. Production for April averaged 148,339,000 feet as against 176,036,000 feet weekly average for March. Curtailed lumber cut in April rvas due in part to the boom strike.

Lumber orders for April averaged 179,729,0ffi feet weekly, a. sharp increase over March averages of 167,234,000 feet. Simpson said, barring unforeseen obstacles, 1948 West Coast output would top 1947 production by nearly 10 pei cent. West Coast's April report, for the first time, includes production totals from Southern Oregon's Jackson and Josephine counties, once major pine producers, but whose 175 sawmills now cut 640,0@,000 ieet annually, 8/o of the region's fir lumber.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in April 1948 was 148,339,000 b.f. or 95.4% of the 1942-47 average. Orders averaged 179,729,NO b.f.; Shipments 153,019,000 b.f. \\reekly averages for March u'ere : Production

" Ab"" Lincoln Candidat e (or Assemblyman 15th District

Luther H. "Abe" Lirrcoln. president of the Lincoln I-umber Co., Oakland, California and Vice-Chairman of the Oakland Planning Comrnission is a candidate for Assemblyman from the 15th District.

"Abe" decided to run for the office upon the urging of large numbers of voters as rvell as many business groups in the 15th District. He has filed on both the Democratic and Republican tickets in vierv of this response ancl is on record as not seeking or u'elcoming I. P. P. support. His further endorsement by the Alameda County Republican Central Committee, as well as many other organizations and individuals composed of both Democratic ancl Republican supporters speaks well for his candidacy. "Abe" has long been associated rvith all forms of civic activity, holding high office in many of the organizations, so that he is well known for his enterprise and ability beyond the confines of the lumber industrv.

A practical business man, "A,be" is well thought of in labor circles and deserves and should have the support of every citizen who wants good government and fair, impartial representation. The lumber industry can well look forward to having a man in Sacramento who is sympathetic to its many problems, whose experience in the building industry has kept him abreast of the tremendous growth of his state and district and has acquainted him first-hand with its long-range needs.

In a recent conference Mr. Lincoln stated : "If elected I shall support the program of Governor Warren and pursue the needs of the people of my State and District u'ith vigor and dispatch. I am directly opposed to any person or group whose policies endanger our democratic way of life. I am opposed to any party that is influenced by forces from countries beyond our borders, and who would seek to destroy us from within."

Those rvho know "Abe" feel confident that he means just that and those in the lumber business should feel proud to sponsor the candidacy of "one of their own" rvho is so r,vell qualified to hold ofifice.

Congrctulations

Mr. and Mrs. Wenclell Paclucttc are being congratulated on the birth of their first child, Janice Angeline, in Burlingame, Calif. May 5. Mr. Paquette is manager of the Lumber Division of Lumber Terminal Co., Inc., San Francisco.

Luther H. "Abe" Lincoln

That biblical injunction has always been taken to refer to the human race. The other day as I sat and listened to a great forester talk on his favorite subject, the thought came to me that maybe it wasn't humans at all, but trees the Creator had in mind; or, of course, it could have been both. *i.*

The speaker was Col. W. B. Greeley, America's favorite forester, until recently Manager of The West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and now back in the forestry business in a far bigger way than ever before, as Chairman of the Board of American Forest Products Industries, Inc.

I have often remarked in the past, and now repeat, that Col. Greeley, never an orator, can make one of the best, most practical, most understandable, and most convincing speeches of any man I know. And the speech I heard him make to the annual convention of the Southern Pine Association in New Orleans, was the best speech he ever made. That was largely because it was the most stimulating subject he ever had.

Since that day I have been advising every lumberman f meet, whether he be retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer, and regardless of where located, to read that speech; read it thoughtfully, and it will be found a textbook on forestry past and present such as has not previously been. available. Any man interested in the future supply of lumber-any lumber-will do well to read Col. Greeley's speech, and file the facts in his memory. Whether you are now interested in Western or Southern woods, or both, his facts are vital.

I{e was speaking to Southern timbermen about Southern timber, but don't forget, Southern timber supply is vital to the future of the entire lumber industry; and there were lessons to be learned for all concerned in what he said. He told the story of the miracle of forestry in the South in the last thirty years. And he said about present forestry affairs-"throughout the United States from ocean to ocean, forest industry today is in the most dynamic, creative period since Capt. John Smith rived the first clapboards in Tidewater, Virginia."

Of Southern timber ," n"*"lrr, he said: "I know of no parallel in world history of a forest recovery so rapid and carrying with it such industrial progress as that of

the South during the last 30 years." He gave the particulars to prove that statement. He told of his first visits to Southern forests in 1904 when the U. S. Forest Service sent him South. Then in 1916 he attended the Southern Forest Conference. At that time only three states had forestry departments. Organization against fire was just starting, and it was an old habit to burn over Pine forest lands frequently. The entire attitude of the Southern lumber industry u/as defeatist concerning timber supply. It was agreed by practically all concerned that burning the woods (which killed all the young growth of trees) cor4ld not be stopped; that it took so long to grow trees that only the Government could afford to do so; that the Southern Pine lumber industry would be a thing of the past, the virgin forests gone, by 1930; and that all the Southern mills could hope to do was cut their timber and save out enough to move West and start over. That was the Picture

And, brave man that he w4s, Col. Greeley plead guilty to being one of the fatalists, dince he published a book in 1917 to somewhat that effect, and he said: "I confess to being 'particeps criminis'in those timber famine reports in 1921. We could not see the little trees behind the stumps of the big trees," he added. Then he told of the comeback of the Southern Pine forests, a come-back that probably no lumber manufacturer in the South saw and predicted except Henry Hardtner.

"Gloomy forebodings were knocked into a cocked hat by the marvelous come-back of the pine forests. The little pines themselves had had the last word. More than that they have brought to pass an industrial miracle. For, after 1930, after Southern Pine was through according to the book, one of the greatest industrial developments has taken place. This was the expansion of wood pulp into a major forest industry of the South, an expansion which has now reached one-half of our national production of wood pulp, and is going on. The industrialization of Southern woodlands, running into billions of invested capital, was not drawn here by standing timber. It carne South because of the millions of acres of fast-growing little trees-and the research of Dr. Herty and others, which had shown how to make white paper, as well as ibrown paper, out of all the Southern Pines."

Then Col. Greeley gave a resume of present-day Southern forests, which were written off by practically all men from twenty to thirty years ago, and here is what he finds:

"There are 171 million acres of forest land in the eleven Southern states. This land now produces yearly some 12 to 13 billion feet of softwood and hardwood timber; millions of hewn cross-ties; 7/z million cords of pulpwood; 15 million cords of fuel ; and quantities of piling, poles, veneer, cooperage, naval stores, and other forest products. THE SOUTHERN FORESTS ARE SUPPLYING NOTW A GREATER

{<**

Do you wonder, lumber friends, that by this time Col. Greeley had the folks at the Southern Pine convention sitting forward on the front of their chairs, and grasping for the import of such facts and figures?

**{<

He declared that the yearly growth of timber in Southern forests today is 6 billion cubic feet (that's 72 billion board feet of everything, although of course, only a part of this growth would make sawlogs or bohrds). He hazarded the opinion that the South could grow 30 billion additional feet of saw timber by the general application of the protection and cutting practices already in widespread use in the South.

Here are other startl; ,;,. offered by Col. Greelev: there are 86 forESt operations in the South now on a sustained yield of production. There are over 9 million acres in certified Southern Pine Tree Farms. The production of small pines for planting stock was nearly 100 million trees this past year, and will reach 205 million next year. One man is planting a tree nursery to raise his own wood supply for a pulp mill not yet built. "I have seen some prett/ intensive practices in my glimpse of European forestry, but I had to come way down South in Dixie to find a gang of men notching and poisoning weed hardwoods, in order to grow more pine; or two men with a planting tractor setting out 15,000 young trees a day," said Col. Greeley.

These and many otrre, tt ingl or rite interest were included in Col. Qrteley's speech that make that speech a bible of foreslry* information. With regard to new uses for wood fi6ei, he was likewise enthusiastic. He said: "A new wave of industrial uses and processes for wood is flowing into American forests. It is adding new technologies and new products to our conversion plant. In addition to many processes for pulping wood, we now have a dozen mechanically-produced fiber boards. A wood-sugar industry is in the making, by hydrolysis of sawmill waste. Ethyl alcohol, stock foods and yeasts are ultimate products. A new plant on the Columbia River is converting Douglas Fir bark into plastic powder and fertilizer. Wood is now plasticized, molded, laminated, impregnated, and spun into such a variety of human uses that technicians are writing of it as the "universal raw material."

"ff you want to see an industrial miracle," continued the Colonel, "watch the spinning of rayon thread. On one hand is a tank of Viscose, derived from high grade pulp. It has about the color, consistency, and allure of axle grease. As this horrible looking stu.ff is forced into a vat of fixing liquor, it passes through little whirling thimbles. And from these emerge silver filaments, spun before your eyes into the most lustrous, shimmering silk you ever saw. And it is all from wood-Southern Pine or West Coast Hemlock."

*t<*

With this f am terminating my quotations from the great speech of Col. Greeley, made to the annual convention of the Southern Pine Association in April, 1948. But I am going to add some information on my own hook with regard to making rayon from wood. I have just read a very interesting article gn that subject in "Forest Echoes," a little booklet published by the Crossett Lumber Company, at Crossett, Arkansas, and edited by James D. Callahan, which intrigued me. Especially how it all started. A scientist and chemist named Count Hilaire de Chardonnet, gave us rayon. That was about the 1870's. He had watched silkworms eat mulberry leaves and then spin their threads of silk, and decided to find out how they did it, and see if it could be duplicated artificially. For, as the "Forest Echoes" story says, "there can only be as much silk as there are worms to spin it, but there can be as much rayon as trees are grown from which to make it." ***

Chardonnet learned the silkworms' secret. The mulberry leaves inside them become a sticky jelly, and this jelly the worms spin into siik through tiny holes called spinnerettes. So he set out to try and duplicate this jelly. He succeeded in making a very good substitute-out of wood pulp. Then he was on his way. How it is done is well told and illustrated in the "Forest Echoes" article. It is technical in the extreme. An ingenious device that acts almost like the silkworm spinnerettes was created, and after the wood pulp has been chemically translated into a gelatinous mass much like that inside the worm, it is forced through the mechanical spinnerettes, and, as Col. Greeley described, shining, beautiful threads are created, and called rayon. There are three processes known for manufacturing rayon out of wood, the Viscose, Acetate, and Cuprammonium. All are based on the same theory, but the first, the Viscose method is used for making the large bulk of all rayon manufactured.

The story in "Forest Echoes" concludes: "The manufacture of rayon in the United States on a commercial scale began in 1911 with a prod"uction of 320,000 pounds. In ten years it had increased to 15 million pounds. Since 1925 the annual production of rayon has doubled in poundage every five years. Rayon now ranks second among all the textile fibers in the number of pounds used yearly, and is used in more types of fabric than any other fibcr."

Loop Lumber Company Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Son Froncisco Firm Begon Business in June, 1B9B

Loop Lumber Company, one of the best knorvn concerns in the lurnber business on the Pacific Coast, is celebrating this month a half century of successful olteration in San Francisco.

With its long record of business integrity and efficient operation this firm l.ras made a l-rost of friends throughout the industry, and all of these lvill u'ish thc company continued success for the futnre.

The company started in 1898 on Be:ry Street, betu'cctt Third and Fourth Streets, as Srvett, Loop & Daveuport, a partnership; l'as incorporated in 1905 as Loop Lumbcr Company, and in 1908 moved to the present location at the Foot of 1(rth Street.

The yard escaped the great San Francisco fire of 1906, under the supervision of the company's then secretary, \Villiam Chatham, n'ho rvith the loyal employees reported for duty, and remained on the job all that d"y ancl busied themselves carrying u'ater from the channel adjacent to the lumber yard ar.rd filling buckets, t'hich u'ere distributed advantageously throughout the gang\\rays. With sacks kept lvet from the barrels of rvater tl.re men beat out the sparks as they fell on the various piles of lumber and saved the entire stock. With one exception this u'as the only lumber yard in San Francisco save<l from the terrible conflagration.

Prior to 1906 the company ou'necl and ope:ated a fleet of sailing vessels. When realizing the advantage of morc modern means of transportation, it r'vas among the pioneers in building and operating steam schooners as lumber carriers, thereby revolutionizing the conveying o{ lumber from sa'ivmills of Oregon and \\rashington to the retail

vards in the bay area. This rvas continued up to the outbreak of \Vorld War No. 2. During the war period all lumber rvas received by rail ancl this has continued up to the preser-rt timc.

The con.rpany has complete r.vater and rail facilities. I-rrmber handling equipment is of the most modern type, and includcs the highly efficient Ross lift trucks and cai:riers, used exclusively. Lift trucks are used for both loading and unloading cars on the yard's private spur tracks.

Looir l-umber Company, one of the oldest yards in Califon.ria, conducts a rvholesale and retail business, handling all West Coast u'oods, including fir,, hemlock, pine and redrvood. The yard is more than six acres in extent. The planing mill is a very important adjunct to the lumber yard, and is fully equipped to resarv and surface the various sizes of lumber and specializes in the surfacing and rcmanufacturing of large and long timbers.

William Chatham is president of the company, I-. S. Brush is executive vice president, and A. F. Bulotti is secretary-treasurer. All three of the principals have been rvitl-r the company since its extensive operations started at the foot of 16th Street.

\Ir. Chatham is still active. and is the oldest executive in the lumber business in San Francisco.

The I-oop Lumber & Nlili Company, the Alameda yard, is locatecl at Broadu'ay and Blanding Avenue, and .is equippecl to do general lumber business ancl finished millu-ork.

Davidson Plywood & Veneer Co. Announces New Plywood Product

Announcement is made that Etch-Wood, the new three dimensional panel, manufactured from Douglas fir plywood in Los Angeles, and distributed nationally,by Davidson Plywood & Veneer Co., 2435 Enterpriss Street, Los Angeles 21, is now getting into production.

In this new paneling the softwood is removed by a new process, leaving the panel with a greater surface hardness than most known hardwoods. The selling price will be less than any fancy hardwood panel.

Some of the comments made by designers, architects, and manufacturers all over the country, who have seen or used the new panel, are as follows:

"Etch-\Vood has a polished suface free from splinters

and sharp edges. ft can be waxed to a high gloss.

"Etch-Wood offers an opportunity for designers and finishers to see their dreams come true in three dimensional shading and color schemes.

"Because of its rounded contours it is easily cleaned, and will not pick up lint from the dust cloth.

"This panel opens the door to a new beauty, and its sensational designs offer many possibilities in paneling, furniture, display backgrounds, sholv cases. ofifice interiors, dens, etc.

"Etch-Wood ofiers more exclusive features in design, durability, versatility, and Nature's own beauty."

lhe wery to Flner Hardwood Floors

r The durability and beauty of a floor depend greatly on the finish. That is why Bruce has devoted years of research to improving floor finishing materials and methods. The Scratch Test, pictured above, shows convincingly the results of this research.

In this test, one half of an oak panel is finished by the Bruce penetrating seal method; the other with a commonly used surface finislr. A coin scraped across the panel scratches and chips away the sur-

face finish. , but leaves the Bruce Finish unharmed, because it's "in the rvood."

You get this more beautiful, longerlasting finish in Bruce Finished lloorscompletely sanded, finished and waxed at the factory. Similat results can be secured on the job through the rtse of Bruce floor finishing materials on unfinished flooring.

A Prize \(/innins Dry Kiln'Float

The Heppner Lumber Co. is justly proud of the output of their four Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns r,vhich were put in operation in September 1945. The lumber is stacked in unit packages, and loaded on kiln trucks with a Hyster lift truck. The daily kiln drying capacity is sixty thousand board feet of properly seasoned lumber, part of which is custom kiln dried.

This progressive, fast expanding lumber concern has a considerable stand of timber tributarv to the Heppner operation. The present sarv mill, with a capacity of 50,000 board feet daily, was built in July 1940, and is located on Willow Creek, three miles below the city of Heppner.

Back in 1909 when real hardened buckaroos were plentiful, the town of Heppner, Ore., staged its first Cow,boy Show. This impressed very much some visitors from Pendleton, Ore., and they caught the spirit of rodeo so that the first Pendleton Round-Up was presented that fall.

In 1922 the Heppner Rodeo Association rvas formed and since that time eastern Oregon has enjoyed "An Epic Drama of the Old West," an annual event in Heppner.

On the second day of the rodeo, a parade is usually staged, with business houses, clubs, logging and saw mill concerns entering a float. For the 1947 parade, the Heppner Lumber Co. decided to have something different to depi,ct their product. In previous parades, the company had featured a load of logs, a load of lumber, or a lift truck; but realized all of these were becoming old ideas rvhich were no longer interesting.

Norman Anderson, r.vho is kiln foreman for the company, was called upon for recommendations for a float for the 1947 parade which would be a little different. He brought forth the idea of a miniature dry kiln closely resembling the Moo:e Cross-Circulation l(ilns being used by the company.

Norman also wanted to stress the fact that'since properly kiln dried lumber is in so great demand, this float would be of interest to all.

This prize rvinning float was built by Mr. Buck Hansen, the company's construction superintendent, rvho is at present in charge of the construction of additional Moore Cross-Ci:culation Kilns for the Pendleton Lumber Co., Pendleton, Ore., which is a subsidiary of the Heppner I-umber Co.

The average production of the planing mill is approximately 2,000,000 board feet per month. Under the supervision of Buck Hansen, a new addition was added to the planing mill during the past year, for housing a door frame factory and cut-up plant, rvith room left over for storage.

What Is This GolI?

Golf is a form of work made expensive enough for a rich man to enjoy it. It is physical and mental exertion made attractive by the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,000 club house.

Golf is what letter-carrying, ditch-digging, a16 carpetbeating would be if these three tasks had to be performed on the same hot afternoon in short pants and colored socks by gouty-looking gentlemen who required a different implement for every mood.

Golf is the simplest looking game in the world when you take it up, and the toughest-looking after you've been at it for ten or twelve years.

It is probably the only.game a man can play as long as a quarter of a century and then discover that it was too deep for him in the first place.

The game is played on carefully selected grass with little white balls and as many clubs as the player can afford. These balls cost from 75 cents to 25 dollars and it is possible to support a family of ten people for five months on the money represented by the balls lost by some golfers in a single afternoon.

A golf course has 18 holes, 17 of which are unnecessary and put there to make the game harder. A ,'gole" is a tin cup in the center of a "green." A "green" is a small passe.l of grass costing about 91.99 a blade and usually located between a brook and a couple of trees or a lot of unfinished excavations.

The idea is to get the golf ball from a given point into each of the 18 cups in the fewest number of strokes and the largest number of words.

The ball must not be thrown, pushed, or carried. It must be propelled by about $200 worth of curious looking implements, especially designed to provoke the owner.

Each implement has a specific purpose and ultimately some golfers get to know what that purpose is. They are the exceptions. After each hole has been completed, the golfer couirts his strokes. Then he subtracts 6 and says "Made that in 5. That's one above par. Shall we play or 50 cents on the next hole, Ed?"

After the fi:ral or lSth hole the golfer adds up his score and stcps when he has reached 87. He then has a swim, a pint of gin, sings "Sweet Adeline" with 6 or g other liars, and calls it the end of a perfect day.

To The Returned Soldier

To you who bared your bosoms to the storms of war; to you who left your loved ones, to die if need be for the sacred cause; may you live long in the land you helped to save; may the winter of your age be as green as spring; as full of blossoms as summer; as generous as autumn; and may you, surrounded by plenty, with your wives at ycur sides and your grandchildren on your knee, love long, and when at last the fires of life burn low: when you enter the deepening dusk of many, many happy days; may the memory of your splendid deeds-deeds that freed your fellow-men-deeds that kept your country on the map of the world-deeds that kept the flag of the Republic in the air-may the memory of these deeds fill your souls with peace and perfect joy.

-Robert fngersoll.

The Trcinmqn Led in Prcyer

An old railroad man was converted at a revival meeting, as the story goes, and was asked to lead in prayer. Here is what he said:

"Oh, Lord, now that I have flagged Thee, lift my feet off the rough deck of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me use the safety lamps known as prudence, make all couplings on the train with the strong link of Thy love, and, Heavenly Father, keep all the switches closed that lead off the sidings, especially those with a blind end. Oh, Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have every semaphore blocked along the line. Show the white light of hope, that I may make the run of Life without stopping; and, Lord, give us the Ten Commandments as a schedule, and when my train shall have pulled into the great dark station of Death, may Thou say with a smile: 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Come up and sign the pay roll and receive your check for eternal happiness."'

Joint Industry Program

This is the story of a joint industry program no'r'r' being launched here on the Pacific Coast, and lvhich will ,be of great interest to all members of the home-building industry, as u'ell as to the general public.

Over a period of months a program has been developed to give a factual, effective voice to the industry. Coordination of various local efforts in this program into an overall homebuilding industry elTort on the West Coast r,vas conceived and expedited by \V. C. Bell, managing director of the Western Retail Lumbermens Association, Orrie W, Hamilton, secretary-manager of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association, and Robert J. Wright, executive vice president of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California. Tl-rey came to the conclusion that the story of the industry should be told to the public, that it should be told professionally, and that it should come from the industry itself as an organized unit, prorrd of its abilities and progress. There is also a feeling that n.rembers of the industry themselves need a little education as to their own worth in the general scheme of economic life.

The three associations then called in James R. Lunke & Associates, West Coast advertising and public relations counselors, to develop a professional handling of the program. Lunke's organization has had long experience in serving the advertising and public relations requirements for a number of ,building material manufacturers, and is r'vell schooied on problems rvithin the building industry.

Many problems were hashed over, among them: rvhat charges against the industry should be ansrvered pointblank, hou' heavily should the basic idea of home ownership be stressed, what would be the best technique to give the participant's individual advertising a better show.

Bell, Hamilton and Wright, u'ith professional and technical help from Lunke, came up u'ith the follorving physical program:

1. The local home building industrl'-builders, retail yards, lending institutions, architects, labor, material suppliers, equipment houses and utilities r,vould be called intcr a meeting to consider, adopt and underrvrite the program. Enlisting the participation of all segments of the industry would accomplish trvo objectives: (1) getting the industry as such together, and (2) spreading the cost of a program rvhich lvould help all meet a common problem.

2. Once the program \rras adopted, Lunke's agency rvould get into high gear. C)ut of it, based on the material supplied them, n,ould come a series of rveekly ads telling the industry's story. Accompanying this u'ould be publicity releases, newsy and interesting, telling the various accomplishments, programs and developments rvithin the homebuilding industry r.vhich rvould be of nervs value to the reading public. Characteristic of the careful planning 'n'hich went intcl the program rvas the decision on the size of the advertisements. The policy was set that they should be large enough to dominate a page ltut not so large as to be.a financial strain on the cooperating sponsors. Further,

every effort would be made to make the news page on which the ad appeared a building industry page.

The actual operation of the program has been made as easy as possible for the participant, as it will be fairly well automatic in maintenance, once adopted and financed. Policy and copy content will be supervised by Bell, Hamilton and Wright. Production and newspaper contacts are handled by Lunke.

Production cost of eacl.r ad to all groups was set at only $5.00, because of the participation in many areas. (Actual production cost runs between $150.00 and $200.00). A $2.50 charge covers publicity articles furnished for each insertion. The only other cost then is that for the newspaper space itself, which varies depending on size of community and newspaper circulation.

In addition to the publicity and advertising, a 16-page booklet, entitled STEPS TO TAKE FOR NE\ r HOMES, REMODELING, FINANCING was prepared for distribution to the interested public. This is a layman's language primer in all phases of building, buying or remodeling, and written from the industry standpoint. Copies are available to the participating sponsors at five cents eacl-t.

The finances involved in the program are handled by the local committee and the advertising agency with whom a contract is signed. The agency, in most cases, takes its income from the customary agency discount, and handles all the scheduling, placing and detail.

Among the many advantages to the industry in this type of program is that it is the most economical method, both in time and money, to put across the industry's message. Likervise, it is a finished and effective system, which will give positive results at a time rvhen results are the only thing on which private industry can rely.

Programs are now under way, or about to start in Stockton, Modesto, Fresno, Salinas, Monterey and Healdsburg, California; Seattle and Spokane in Washington; Klamath Falls, Eugene and McMinneville in Oregon.

Distributes Tension-Tite Screens

So-Cal Building Materials Co., 1228 Produce Street, Los Angeles 21, has been appointed wholesale distributor in Southern California for Roll-Arvay Tension-Tite Screens. This is the new aluminum screen for double hung windows, that detaches from the inside and rolls up for window washing. These screens are made of rust-proof, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys. The five screws used in Installing each screen are heavily plated with cadmium. Consequently there is no need to paint them for protection against rveather and aging, and they can't stain exterior walls. A good line for the dealer.

Ed Smithdeal, Jr., is now with Davidson Plywood & Veneer Co. in the sales department. He will spend several months in the office before going out to call on the trade.

Bloomington, Ill.-"They make the most rigid connections I've ever seen" is the way Harold Davidson, carpenter foreman, describes the use of Trip-L-Grip framing anchors for tieing down trussed rafters, on two new dormitories for Illinois Wesleyan University.

In this area of high winds, inadequate toe-nailing of rafters to plates has been eliminated in favor of a small metal framing anchor which provides necessary resistance to uplift.

Trussed rafters, built with Teco split ring connectors, provide clear span roofs and ceilings. These trusses were quickly built on a jig table under the supervision of I{oy Brian, construction foreman, who praised the ease and speed of erection with which they went up.

John Felmly Company, Bloomington, Illinois, was the contractor for the dormitories. Plans were prepared by Poundstone, Ayers & Godrvin, Architects, Atlanta, Georgia. Schaeffer, Ilooton .& Wilson u/ere associate architects and Ted Jensen is structural engineer for the contractor.

Trip-L-Grip framing anchors are coming into wide use for secondary connections in light wood frame construction, as indicated by their adoption by the designers of the much publicized Industry Engineered Home. They are incorporated as ties between wall and roof, for strengthening corner posts, to reduce cracking around openings and as joist hangers.

Teco trussed rafters have $een adopted for the construction of more than 10,000 dwelling units from small homes to huge garden apartment projects, according to the Timber Engineering Company, developers of the unique truss design.

Complete information about these two new improvements in the home and light commercial building field may be secured from the Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D. C.

\(/alte, Decker - Plant Manager

It is ah'vays interesting to meet the men rvho rttn the various types and kinds of plants connected u'ith the great lumber industry. A representative of this paper talked recently to Walter Decker, plant manager for Associated Molcling Co., 7125 Anaheim-Telegraph Roacl, Los Angeles 22, and found that he has a fine backgrouncl of experience that equips him rn'ith the know-how needecl to run such a plant.

Added to his early lumber experience lvas his 12 years with Hayward Lr.rmber & Investment Co., for r,vhich firm he was superintendent of yards. He later owned the Colton Lumber Company, which he sold out before the rn'ar. A veteran of World War I, he considered it his duty to volunteer for service in World War II. He seived three years in the Navy in the Aleutians area. After the rvar he went into the rvholesale lumber business with Ross Lash1"y. They had two concerns, Lashley Lumber Sales Co. and Walter Decker Lumber Co. These businesses rvere dissolved after tlvo years' operation, and Mr. Decker joined Associated Molding Co. just a year ago. He thinks the plant is one of the finest of its kind on the Pacilic Coast, and O. V. Pratt, head of this concern agrees with him. He invites retail and wholesale lumber dealers to drop around and see the first-class equipment and facilities they have for the manufacture of moldings, and for custom milling and milling in transit.

Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary

Mr. and NIrs. N. H. (Nate) Parsons celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on May 11, and they were the recipients of many congratulatory messages from their friends. They r,vere married in Winnebago, Illinois, on May 11, 1898, and they still have tl.re clipping from the newspaper, Winnebago Reflector, giving an account of the happy affair.

At that time Nate was working for the Woodruff and Nfaguire Lumber Co., and soon after, he bought a branch yard from this firm in Rockford, Illinois. After twentyfir'e years in Rockford, he sold the yard to his four competitors there, who still conduct the business under the name of the Parsons Lumber Co. Nate then came to California where lre has been associated r,vith the lumbe-r business ever since, and is with the San Pedro Lumber Co. in Los Angeles.

During the early days in Rockford, he and his wife first rode a red tandem, "bicycle built for two," but in 1903 they bought their first automobile, a six-cylinder Oldsmobile, on 'ivhich Nate mounted iron brackets on the fenders to carry small deliveries of lumber to customers wantlng qulck servlce.

Mr. and Mrs. Parsons live in Pasadena, also their son, N. Vinc.ent Parsons, his u'ife, Rhuey, and their tr.vin children, Bob and Ann Nfarie, reside there.

"Ou, Living Fotests"

"Our Living Forests," is a new book by Joseph T. Hazard. The author, who considers himself "part layman, part forester, part timber operator and part recreationalist," is now secretary of the Washington State Land Board, whicl-r administers two and one-quarter million acres of forest lands under the educational land grants of the state.

"My main purpose in writing Our Living Forests," Mr. Hazard says, "is to prove that under modern forest management we may use our forests in all legitimate ways and still have them. It has been my endeavor to present these proofs in such a way that those who are neither scientific foresters nor logging engineers will be entertained, instructed, and convinced."

The book is now on sale in book stores throughout the country. It is published by Superior Publishing Company, Third and Vine Streets. Seattle. Price M.00.

Lumber ls Vital ltem In European Aid Program

America's forest industries will ,be called upon to supply nearly three billion board feet of lumber during the next 4f yearc under terms of the proposed European Recovery program.

Lumber is one of the three most important raw materials required under the Marshall Plan. Based on July I, L947 prices, the value of the wood products asked for in the European aid plan approximates 9377,000,000.

The aid plan also 'calls for the United States to supply sawmill and woodworking machinery and equipment worth $63,000,000.

Because of current domestic shortages of millwork, siding, hardwood flooring and plywood, most of the lumber exports under the European recovery program would be in the form of rough sawed lumber.

Mcrple Flooring Output Up

Chicago, Ill.-Production of Northern hard maple, beech, and birch flooring for the first quarter of 1948 showed a 55 per cent increase over the same period of 1947, declared L. M. Clady, secretary-manager of the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association.

Mr. Clady said that the 55 per cent increase serves to confirm his former statement that member mills this year have a good chance of reaching a production figure of 60,000,000 feet. If this prediction materializes, production Lor 1948 will top 1942 and. reach close to the 1941 figure of 61,000,000 feet.

renerval of the rvood

Decay in lumber develops only under certain conditions which invariably involve a moisture content in excess of 20 per cent. If lumber is reduced to or below 20 per cent moisture content and kept that way, there will ,be no danger from wood destroying fungi. A piece of lumber may develop decay before being used in a structure, but it can be used in such a way that the action of the decay will be completely arrested and will not be revived unless the exposure to moisture is sufficient to bring the moisture content of the piece above 20 per cent.
