Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

For 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 sanne sun, And we run the same course that our fathers have run.

(Abraham Lincoln's Favorite Poem)

***

I thought of those lines the other day as I stood at the tail end of a big sawmill and watched the saws turning logs into lumber. Forty years ago I stood in that same location in a mill that a generation ago,went the way of all temporary things, and saw practically the same process and operation. The logs came up the bull chain, were cut into lengths by a circular saw that dropped down on them, were rolled off the log chain in the same manner, kicked onto the carriage by the same sort of steam "nigger," held in place on the carriage much as they are today, and then pushed against the whirling saw in about the same fashion. There was little difference that I can recall between what I saw forty years, and one week ago. rt**

Lumber is certainly NOT a changeable business. And I presume that the actual cutting of the log into lumber has been attended with less change than any other department of the lumber business. Many minor changes, variations, modernizations, and improvements have been made. But the fundamentals, themselves, have been little changed.

*rf*

f cannot recall whether that first sawmill that I watched operate forty years ago was equipped with band or circular saws. Circulars preceded band mills in the sawmill business. The band came in as a refinement, cutting with less "kerf," less sawdust, wasting less wood in the slicing process, and doing a smoother job of board-making. Later I watched the double-cutting bands come into vogue in many lumber districts, saws with teeth on both edges that sawed one slice off the log as the carriage moved forward and another as it came back. (The ordinary mill cuts only as the carriage moves forward.) These mills did not remain popular, and there are few of them left that I know of. Too difficult to properly file and set the saw teeth on both edges.

*rl.*

But I DO remember the first time I ever saw a "piano" trimmer. And I recall the kind of trimmers they used to use before these lever-set trimmers came in. A man stood

at the end of the old timey trimmer, and the saws were set by a crank that he whirled round and round, and back and forth. The trimmerman sitting in his coop today and pulling the levers that drop the saws into place, little knows what a snap he has. Not long since I watched a one-armed negro operating an air-set piano trimmer in a big mill, and doing a very good job of it.

Of course there have been tremendous and vital changes in the sawmill "carriage" on which the logs ride backward and forward to and from the saw, as they are sliced into boards, planks, and timbers. There have been many changes and improvements in the equipping and the powering of the "carriage." Yet, as f have sald before, the fundamentals are unchanged. The logs are placed in the same position, and the carriage runs forward and back just as it did when milling was young. *r<*

There has been little change made in the actual equipment and activity of the sawyer. The visitor green to the ways of sawmills, watching a mill operate, naturally thinks that the man riding the "carriage" must be the captain of the job, and the one who decides how and when to turn the log, how thick or thin it must be sliced, and all the other lightning-like decisions that are manifest as a powerful mill, screams of its activity. ft is something of a shock and surprise to discover that the man who stands rather quietly just back of the u'hirling saw, quietly working with both hands two wooden-handled levers sticking up waist-high from the floor, is the real major-domo of the operation. These levers work easily on a very short radius of just a few inches, and it hardly seems possible that these two insignifigant wooden handles with their apparently effortless handling are really directing the entire proceedings with enormous demonstrations of power.

with one of these ,"*,"1" in" i.*r", handles the steam "nigger," that giant robot that sweeps the log onto the carriage, rolls it into proper place, turns it at will as though it were a dry toothpick, and acts for all the world like an intelligent giant of limitless power having a good time slapping big timbers aro'und like featherweights. The other lever sends the carriage on its merry way, backward and forward, backward and fo'rward, just the right distance,

(Continued from Page 6) just the proper speed, stopping at each end of a thrilling run just in time to keep from going through the end of the mill. I know of nothing more thrilling in mechanics than those two sawmill levers in the hands of an expert sawyer. I can watch them for hours at a stretch, have been doing so for forty years, and never seem tired of a wonderment that never ceases.

As far back as I ""r, ,u,nl-iurl'.r. been watching re-saws operate in big sawmills. Likewise gang saws, in which whole logs, flattened on two opposite sides, are shoved against and through a battery of saws set equal distances apart that saw up and down and turn the log into rift-sawn lumber.I recall long ago seeing many machines they called "gang-edgers," a small gang made up of circular saws spaced on a single shaft, that cut forrr and six inch "cants" into boards. I never see that sort of mill any more. Guess they have gone "where the woodbine twineth." I remember once when I was a kid and working in a sawmill during vacation time, seeing a gang-edgerman reach his hand into one of those machines to pull loose a piece of bark that had caught in the edge of it. And I shall never forget how that hand looked when he finally pulled it out.

d< d<

:B

Sawmill edgers look and operate about like they did when f first saw them, There have been improvements, of course, bearings have been changed and improved, the setting of the saws has been eased and facilitated; but the fundamental method of removing the bark from the edges of lumber that has come from the saw, is just about the same. The same way with lath mills. They look the same as they always did, and operate in the same fashion, with brawny young men shoving the edgings through and back again, turning the clear lumber just inside the bark into wooden plastering lath. And the lumber leaves-the last operation in the sawmill-and goes out of the mill on takeoff chains, just about the same as it always did. There are variations in various mills, but the fundamentals are unchanged.

In the things that happen to the lumber AFTER it leaves the sawmill proper, greater changes have taken place. However, as in the sawmill itself, the fundamentals have held their own remarkably well, the modifications and changes being in the details of operation. There are still tramways topped with thick planks over which the lumber is hauled to various units of the plant; there is still a planing mill, a lumber yard, dry kilns, storage dry sheds, railroad loading dock, etc. They are there now, just as they have always been. But great changes have taken place WITHIN these fundamental units.

Take the mechanical ,";o;"J"nd drying of the lumber, as an example. In the old days they piled the lumber in a room heated either with steam or dry air, and left it there to dry. Naturally the outside dried quickly and the inside dried slowly, the result being a decided upheaval in the fiber of the wood, that resulted in its warping, cracking, checking, cupping, twisting, defects were enlarged, knots loosened and fell out, and great was the loss thereof. Little by little and step by step the dry kiln specialists by means of intelligent experimentation, overcome these vital faults in lumber seasoning, until kiln drying lumber today is a highly intelligent, scientific, and successful operation. Most species of commercial lumber can be kiln dried today without any more defect development than comes with careful air drying, and without removing any of the valuable physical properties of the wood.

**:k

Yes, the greatest change that has come to the lumber manufacturing business from the beginning until now, is in the drying and seasoning department.

In general fashion, afr" pfJ"f"g mill is the same unit it used to be in the old days. In detail, however, it is a vastly improved department. The machines are faster, smoother, more economical, more dependable, and turn out definitely better lumber than they used to. In this department there is a wide variety of effort as between different mills. There are still thousands of sawmills that use their planing mills

just as they did a generation ago, for the finishing of their product into standard items of lumber. And they stop there. Thousands of others go various distances into the remanufacturing of their product into items and products other than standard lumber for building purposes. There are many that emulate the example of the up-to-date meat packers and market "everything except the squeal."

one simple change n""*"olu 1o pr""ti""lly all softwood manufacture in the last few years that deserves special mention. EASED EDGES. For generations lumber was made and sold and used with square, sharp edges, hard to .handle, easy to sliver, etc. Someone in the Pacific Northwest conceived the idea of softening that sharp edge by "easing" the edge off as it went through the planing mill machine. Today it is done universally. No mill too small to ease their edges. Another simple improvement to common items of standard lumber that is growing very popular is improved ends. A second trimming that makes square, bright, smooth ends on the lumber is growing very popular. In fact, all soft wood lumber today is straighter, smoother, brighter, and easieq to handle than it used to be.

But, generally speaking, it is still pretty much the same type and style of business that sawmilling has.always been, and the general plan of turning a log into commercial lum-

ber has probably changed less in forty years than that of any other basic industry. A friend of mine who specializes in refining petroleum products tells me that so rapid is the change that takes place in oil refining that equipment for that purpose becomes entirely obsolete every ten years. It's different with lumber. I imagine the lumber manufacturers are glad of it. The equipment of a twenty-year-old sawmill is always salable for many years more use.

t<**

Watching the changes that take place every season in some other industries, I often wonder what would have happened to the lumber business if the makers of sawmill machinery and equipment had been as laboratory-minded as they have in various other lines, such as the automobile, radio, or electrical industries? Supposing the sawmill machinery folks had brought out new models every year, so attractive, so improved, so practical, so desirable, that the mill men would have had to buy, just as automobile owners do. What would a sawmill be like today? Would it even faintly resemble the present ones? Would there still be the same carriages, "niggers," band mills, edgers, trimmers, dry kilns, planing mills, etc.? What would wooden building material look like? Would it even faintly resemble lumber? I wonder.

***

We have seen the wonders that have been wrought in the manufacture of wooden pulp board, wide lumber made from wood lyaste, plywood, etc., all products of the labora-

tory. Who knows what lumber and the lumber business would be like today, if General Motors and Henry Ford had been operating the lumber business, instead of the motor car industry? ***

How tragic it is that nobody in official Washington seems to sense the vital fact-in their business discussions and legislation-that BUSINESS IS MENTAL. Everything they do is convincing proof that those who are making the rules and laying down the law to business look npon it as a hard, physical, financial thing, rather than a sensitized, emotional thing, as defiitely subject to the jitters as a seismograph. They seem incapable of understanding that fear injected into the consciousness of business, means paralysis of the body of business. That is our trouble today. That has been our trouble for the past several years. And that will be our trouble until understanding comes. It is utterly inevitable.

Congratulates Jack Dionne on Paint Editorial

Los Angeles, California

May 17, 1938

Mt. J. C. Dionne, President

The California Lumber Merchant

108 West 6th Street

Los Angeles, Calif.

Dear Mr. Dionne:

Permit me, as one who has spent many years in the Paint business, to extend my congratulations to you for the article entitled "Paint-Paint-Paint in the Spring," which appeared in the California Lumber Merchant in the May issue. You are absolutely correct when you state that the retail lumberman becomes one of the leading paint distributors when, as and if, he will see the opportunity of merchandising a complete paint line. Within the last week the writer has had occasion to call on a number of leading retail lumbermen in and around Los Angeles, who are enjoying a good paint business. It was interesting to note that they had effective window displays, store banners, colorfully illustrated booklets, color charts and many other things to brighten up their store and attract the buyer's attention. It is my opinion that paint is not only a profitable line to promote, but that it is one of the best leaders to attract consllmer attention in a lumber display room or store.

It is to be hoped that many of your friends among. the retail lumbermen will profit by your wise counsel and advice, as outlined in the above mentioned article.

With my kindest personal regards, I am

Cordially yours,

THE PARAFFINE COMPANIES. INC.

Perhaps we should give to these whip-crackers a short course in studying the derivation of words. For instance, even the most ardent New Dealers will agree that the business men of this country are suffering from ,,loss of Confidence." What is Confidence? Whence comes the word? From "Con-Fides," meaning "with Faith." Men who lack Confidence are therefore "without Faith.', Our entire business structure, we all know, is built on Credit. And what is Credit? Where do we get the word? From ,,Credo," meaning "I Believe." Credit is established and business goes forward when business men .,believe" in the things about them. Business men, ree are told, are frightened because the conditions that surround them seem to lack Fidelity. Fidelity, from ,.Fidelis," meaning ,,Faithful.', Faith is the thing that makes or breaks business. Faith in our_ selves, in our fellows, in our government-those are the things that make business good; and their lack is what makes business bad. Con-Fides, Credo, Fidelis-these three are lacking today. So we have Depression. They have been banished, not by misfortune so much as by mis_ understanding. So long as the MIND of business is fright_ ened, the BODY of business will be both .,halt and lame,' as the Good Book says.

Pope & Talbot Taker Ove, McCormick Properties

Effective June 4, Pope & Talbot Lumber Co. took over all the properties of Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. with timber and lumber mills in Washington and Oregon.

The new company's announcement stated that under the n_ame of its principal owners the organization will carry on the service and traditions of 85 years of manufacturing and distributing Douglas Fir lumber and products. The stafi of the new company is the same as that of the former or_ ganization, with the following officers : Geor-o A. pooe, chairman; George A. Pope, Jr., president; Charles L. Wheeler, executive vice-president; J. A. Lunny, vice_presi_ dent; Hillman Lueddemann, rrice-president; Jas. S. Biown, secretary-treasurer.

Pope & Talbot history in the lumber business begins way back in 1767 when they shipped a cargo of American lumber into Boston harbor from East Machias, Maine. The popes and Talbots were among the first settlers of East Machias.

The development of the organization turned west in 1g50 when captain william c. Talbot arrived in San Francisco with a cargo of lumber. He was preceded by other mem_ bers of the families. In 1853 Captain Talbot visited puget Sound in search of more timber and directed the erecti,on of the Port Gamble lumber mill, which is still in operation, although considerably improved and enlarged since thai time.

McCormick Steamship Company operating 30 ships in domestic and foreign routes, and formerly alubsid iar.y of. Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co., is now owned directlv bv the Pope & Talbot interests.

New Tax Bill Affects Lumber lmportr

Washington, May 28.-Imported lumber is affected in several respects by provisions of the new tax bill, which became law at midnight, May 27, without the President's signature, says the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Imported lumber has been subject to both a duty under the tariff act of 1930 and an import excise tax under the Revenue Act of 1932. The Tariff Act specifically provides that no deduction shall be made for planing, tongueing and grooving in estimating board measure for duty purposes, but the Revenue Act imposes no such specific limitation. This situation has led the Customs Courts to hold that net measure of imported lumber should be used in determining the amount of the excise tax. The new tax bill amends the Revenue Act of 1932 by adding the limitation found in the Tariff Act.

Similarly, because the Tariff Act provides for "sawed lumber and timber" while the expression "Lumber, rough or planed or dressed" was used in the Revenue Act of 1932, there has been considerable litigation as to whether imported timbers were lumber and subject to the import excise tax. The new amendment specifically provides that the word "lumber" includes sawed timbers.

Three species of imported lumber, providing qualities insufficient in domestic supply, are also exempted from the excise tax in the amendment. The species exempted are: Northern white pine, Norway pine and Western white spruce.

The adoption of these amendments is regarded by the domestic industry as placing tariff administrative matters in the best condition in many years.

An amendment to the Customs Administrative Bill which would clarify the present law requiring that imported lumber be marked to indicate its foreign origin, is still before a conference committee in Congress. It is scheduled to be acted upon at an early date.

Acme Announces New Sash Balance

Wasted \(/arning

The party of tourists got as close to the edge of the precipice as they dared, and stared down into a tremendous chasm far below. Noticing no protective fence or even a sign of warning in front of the dangerous ledge, one of the party said to the guide:

"This is certainly a terribly dangerous corner, so close

Opent Warehouse in San Diego

Announcement is made on another page of this issue of the opening of a wholesale warehouse in San Diego by T. M. Cobb Co., with complete stocks of sash, doors, mouldings and plywoods.

Walter R. Hewitt, who is well known to the retail trade of Southern California, is manager.

The new warehouse is a tile and stucco building at 14th and National Avenue with 6,000 square feet of floor space, and it has good facilities for quick shipment of orders.

This firm also sells Ponderosa and Sugar Pine lumber in carlots, straight or mixed cars.

T. M. (Ty) Cobb, came to Los Angeles in 1922. He has been actively engaged in the lumber business there since 1923. He established a wholesale sash and door business some years ago at 5800 Central Avenue where complete stocks of the items mentioned above are also carried. A steady growth has been experienced both in the Pine lumber department and the sash and door end of the business.

Mr. Cobb plans to divide his time between the two operations. C. L. (Lee) Slaght is in charge of the Los Angeles warehouse. Paul Matthies and G. C. (Ted) Hoyt travel out of the Los Angeles office.

Plywood fior Boat Building

All America seems to have suddenly become boat-conscious, and herein lies an opportunity for retail sales of boat material. I-umber dealers have been quick to capitalize upon the current whim, converting it into increased and profitable sales volume. Since amateur boat builders in rnost cases are familiar with the waterproof plywoods for boat constrnction, dealers should not be caught uninformed.

Not only has it demonstrated its utility for several years past in such features as planking, decking, bulkheads and paneling, but today it is found suitable for almost the entire construction of small craft, and for much construction of large craft.

The Harbor Plywood Corporation of Hoquiam, Washington, manufactures a type of plyrvood knorvn as SuperHarbord, which is guaranteed against ply-separation by its rnanufacturers, and which users testify will not disintegrate in either salt or fresh water, or any lveathering conditions.It is hot-pressed with a cresol-formaldehyde synthetic resin binder, tempered at the mills.

Using the large panels, which are available in stock size up to 5x12 {eet, and in thicknesses from %" toI-3/l€', boat ltuilders are able to take advantage of plywood's inherent stability. Several folding boat manufacturers are utilizing this unique material for the construction of the boats rvhich are so easily compacted and transported by car, yacht, trailer, mule back or airplane. Also, several manufacturers of standard rowboats, tenders and yachts are now employing Super-Harbord for much of their builditrg. This type of plyrvood comes in fir, redwood and lauan for boat building.

The Harbor Plywood Corporation has recently issued a folder with instructions for making a standard rowboat, size 11 ft.6 in., which is available upon request to them.

San Joaquin Lumbermen, Bankers and FHA Officials Discuss Housing at Fresno

Sponsored by the San Joaquin Lumbermen's Club, 173 lumbermen and bankers of the San Joaquin Valley met with officials of the Federal Housing Administration at Fresno, Friday evening, June 3, to discuss the various regulations of the National Horrsing Act, particularly as it applies to small homes. S. P. Ross, vice-president of the Club, presided.

The San Joaquin Lumbermen's Club plan service department in preparing and furnishing to prospective home owners plans and specifications according to their own individual desires is another marked step toward improving building and building service for home owners, and is making splendid prog'ress, Secretary Bernard B. Barber reports.

Mr. Barber says that the members of the Club will continue to push the FHA program to the fullest extent, and incidentally, they believe will reap a great deal of benefit from it.

Attending the meeting were:

A. J. Ashley, FHA . San Francisco

S. P. Ross. Central Lumber Co. . Hanford

Harry F. Godfrey, The Fresno Bee ... .......Fresno

G. C. Burnett, Burnett Lumber Co. .Tulare

Bernard B. Barber, San Joaquin Lumbermen's Club ........Fresno

D. C. McGinness, FHA San Francisco

Bernqrd B. Bcrber Secretcry, Scn Joqquin Lumbermen'g Club

D .C. McGinniss, assistant director of the FHA, San Francisco, explained in detail the objects and purposes of the National Housing Act, and his determination, as well as the FHA. to see that a man with an income of $1.200 to $1,500 a year may be able to build a home commensurate with his resources. and at the same time see that it is built of quality materials and workmanship so that at the end of the mortgage period he will still have a good home.

Mr. McGinniss felt that on applications of this type, the FHA must look to the individual's reputation and past record and not on what they hope the applicant might do in the future. He thought that if a man's past reputation has been good, and he has the proper attitude towards his obligation, that he presents an excellent moral risk, which in his opinion is far better than attempting to foresee what a man's future will be.

G. F. Ashley, chief architect of the FHA, San Francisco, talked on the architectural requirements which he said were only the standards that any good builder should be more than glad to carry out. He stated if the lumbermen can submit any changes for their requirements which will make a material saving, and at the same time not result in an inferior quality of materials or workmanship, he would be happy to approve them. In the enforcement of regulations, he felt the FHA would accomplish more in the long run by education rather than force, but there were some instances, and there would probably be more in the future, where the FHA would have to demand and insist that the builder comply fully with the regulations of the minimum requirements.

Joseph R. Jones, Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles ,and J. B. Neilson, manager of the Fresno and Fulton branches of the Bank of America, pledged the cooperation of their institutions with the FHA, saying their organizations were doing everything possible to further this program.

And they said: "IIe's eccentric." And they rather liked him, but smiled at him. And he stubbornly said again: "f see." And they said: "There's something in what he says." And they gave him half an ear. But he said as if he'd never said it before: "I see." And at last they were awakel and they gathered. about him and built a temple in his name. And yet he only said: "I see." And they wanted to do something for him. "\Mhat can v/e do to express to you our regret?" He only smiled. He touched them with the ends of his fingers and kissed them. What could they do for him? "No,thing more than you have done," he answered. And what was that? they wanted to know. .,you see," he said, "that's reward enough; you see, you see." rl.+*

These I\{oldings, ar.ailable in three patterns (Cove, Bead and Chair Rail) and in a variety of glossy enameled colors, take the place of ordinary trim. They are so designed that each Pattern can serve several purposes. Chair Rail, for instance, can be used as such, as a picture molding, base, for window and door trim, and so on.

With Kolor-Trim Bead Moldings there is no problem of joint treatment. Joints are matle a part of the interior design, covered with one of the contrasting colored moldings. The same pattern can be used to carry out any design where joints do not occur. Kolor-Trim Moldings, lleing economically priced, may be used in groups and in combinations to achieve amazingly attractive effects to harmonize with the u'arm shades of Nu-\\Iood'

Also announced rvas a new Nu-W'ood Wainscot which, too, has been developed in color and texture to harmoniz,: with Nu-Wood Tile, Plank and Board. It is mahogany brown in color rvith a rough grained surface. The material is surface hardened for ttse on rvall areas which must stand abuse. This r.rerv Wainscot offers a pleasing contrast rvhen usecl rvith other Nu-Woocl products.

P. A. Ward, geueral sales manager of Woocl Conversion Company, when announcing these new products saicl: "Architects, Contractors.

New Grade of Douglas Fir Plywood Sheathing

Tacoma, Wash., June 2.-A substantial contribution to the current demand for practical low-cost housing is shown in the development of a new grade of Douglas Fir Plywood Sheathing which is being grade-marked and scored under the name PLYSCORD. Announcement of the availability of the new product was made today by W. E. Difford, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

The new grade has been standardized by all members of the Association to meet the needs ol architects. contractors, and builders for a sheathing that is easy to applI, economical to use and which will, at the same time, add strength and rigidity to homes.

During the month of June and continuing through the. summer PLYSCORD Sheathing will be backed by extensive advertising schedules in a wide list of trade papers and trade magazines. Dealer helps for direct cons.umer contact are ready for distribution.

Each panel of PLYSCORD will be plainly marked and scored with parallel lines across the panel. The lines are spaced 16 inches apart and when the carpenter lays the panel horizontally over the studs, the lines indicate their exact location for nailing. The scoring is also helpful in locating studding when siding is to be laid over the Sheathing.

The scoring lines on the panels consist of a substantial blue line over which the name PLYSCORD is printed every few inches. Allowance for imprinting the name of the individual producing mill is made between the words PLYSCORD.

PLYSCORD will be available in standard 8 feet lengths. 37' and 48" widths and in 5/16", /s" and ft" thicknesses. These sizes were decided upon after consulting architects, contractors, and builders for their suggestions. For most ordinary structures it was found that 5/l€' and /s" thicknesses would be suitable, but where maximum strength and rigidity is a factor, the sf" thickness is to be recommended.

The new Sheathing grade has an improved face and shall present a solid surface. There will be no large knot holes or pitch pockets and the stripping of paper tape will be reduced to a maximum of not more than two to each panel.

Extensive tests and research indicates that builders may expect a saving of more than fu/o in nailing. Because of the large panels, also, there will be labor savings in cutting and fitting as compared with ordinary types of horizontal or diagonal Sheathing.

The rigidity of PLY,SCORD Sheathing is shown by tests made by the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. Compared with ordinary horizontal Sheathing, PLYSCORD makes a wall 6 times as rigid.

while compared with diagonal Sheathing, it makes a wall 4O/o more dgid.

Many builders have commented on the appearance of model homes sheathed with PLYSCORD, adding that it has a favorable efiect upon prospective home-owners who visit the projects during construction. This type of Sheathing, they say, gives builders a realistic picture of the reasons why Plywood Sheathing makes walls warmer and windproof, while at the same time adding strength to the entire structure.

Some contractors prefer to cover the entire wall of the structure with PLYSCORD at the outset, cutting openings with a skil saw after the wall is in place. In many instances, such procedure has effected additional savings for the builder.

The current interest in vapor barriers adds an unusual feature to the announcement of PLYSCORD Sheathing.

Professor F. B. Rowley is quoted on Page ll? of. the March 1938 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD, as follows: ..A fundamental principle often overlooked is that a vapor barrier should be placed on the warm side and not on the cold side of the wall . "

This statement is of vital importance in consideration of the practicability of PLYSCORD Sheathing, Association engineering and research experts say, for this Sheathing will not seal vapors within the wall thereby causing moisture condensation and attendant structural problems. The vapors within the wall will be allowed to escape to the outside through PLYSCORD.

On the inner or warm side of walls where condensation may develop in wall or roof spaces, vapor barriers should be used, these men say.

They point out that condensation problems occur during cold winter weather in buildings of standard construction where humidities are maintained in excess of. 35 to 4A%, and, where highly efficient insulating materials and weather-stripping are used, at even lower humidities.

Douglas Fir Plywood deals with the condensation problem by attacking it from the inner or warm side of the wall. In this case, two coats of asphalt paint on the back of Douglas Fir Plywood interior wall paneling or a layer of asphalt coated and impregnated Sheathing paper weighing 50 pounds per roll of 500 square feet applied to the studs and ceiling joists below the roof before applying the plywood, makes a highly effective vapor barrier at very low expense according to tests made at the Forest products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin.

Lumber dealers all over the United States may secure additional information about PLYSCORD from their regular source of supply for Douglas Fir Plywood, according to Managing Director W. E. Difford.

Have You Off ered Them Paint?

Have you a list of the unpainted and paint-needing structures in your selling territory?

Have you made a deliberate, intelligent, direct effort to sell the paint IDEA to everyone on that list this spring and summer?

You haven't?

Then what a grand opportunity to exert some interesting salesmanship you still have before you. (To the selling enthusiast the fact that he has interesting selling opportunities constantly presenting themselves, is the spice of life and of business.)

Get out and see how many of those folks you can sell. Sell yourself first. Then sell your prospect. MENTALLY. Figure out your selling plan, your selling talk, your selling PRICE. When your campaign is in suitable shape in your own mind, go get that prospect, and do the job even better to HIM, than you did in preparation.

Know what he needs and what you think he should do and YOU can do, to supply those needs. Present those facts to him. Visualize them. Be certain you SHO.W something of a paint character to every man or woman you call on, because you can sell them beter through the EYES than you can through the EARS. Don't forget that. And it's particularly true of paint, because a paint job has a particular appeal to the average human. Its color, gloss, finish and the improvement it has worked on the raw surface, is most effective.

Paint is your best, most natural side-line, Mr. Lumber Merchant. See that the woo'den structures in your territory are well painted.

DealersProtest Federal Purchasing Policies

That recent purchasing policies of the government will throw thousands of employes out of work, and work great injury to the retail lumber and building material industry, was the declaration in a resolution adopted by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, at the annual meeting in Washington last month. The resolution follows:

WHEREAS, the trend in recent purchasing policies of Procurement Division of the United States Treasury Department has indicated a tendency to centralize purchases and to incorporate provisions in the invitations for competitive bidding which have never before characterized the governmental purchasing requisitions in its desire to secure an unrestricted range of competition in purchases rvhere federal funds are to be used in whole or in part, and

WHEREAS, the policies thus inaugurated actually result in restricting the range of competitive bidding, and

WHEREAS, we believe this policy to be unsound and uneconomical, and

WHEREAS, this policy defeats the purpose for which it is intended because it does not necessarily mean that merchandise purchased at point of manufacture is being delivered at the lowest cost to the site of the project.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we the members of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association in convention here assembled, representing 25,000 retail lumber and building material dealers, vigorously and emphatically protest, as small business men, the action of the government in calling for bids direct from the manufacturers f.o.b. their plants. Since the foundation of this country, it has been built up by the small retail lumber and building material merchant. He has maintained adequate stocks, warehoused materials, and employed many thousands of employees. Mass buying by the government direct from the manufacturer will necessarily throw thousands of present employees out of work. It furthermore destroys the most

economic system of distribution, as proven by years of practical experience.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the President, each Senator and Representative in Congress, and the United States Treasury Procurement Division.

Other resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors i1cluded: endorsement of the FHA program; public relations counsel for the Association; tribute to officers; regret at inability of L. P. Lewin, former president, to be present, and appreciation of work of the legislative committee.

FLOYD ELLIOTT IN EAST

FHA Mortgage Loans for Farm Buildings No* Available

Washington, D. C., May lG-The Federal Housing Administration will start insuring mortgages o,n farm properties beginning today, according to an announcement by Stewart McDonald, Administrator.

Amendments to the National Housing Act passed in February permit the Administrator for the first time to insure mortgage loans made on farms on which'farm houses or other farm buildings are to be constructed or repaired, provided at least 15 per cent of the loan proceeds is expended for materials and labor on buildings. Rules and regulations covering these loans have now been prepared by the FHA. Previously FHA insurance has been granted only on nonfarm real-estate loans.

Farmers who operate their own farms, individuals who rent their fanns to others. and farm tenants and others who contemplate the purchase of farms are all eligible to borrorv from approved institutions under the terms of Title II of the Act. Institutions approved by the FHA as mortgagees, which may apply for insurance on farm loans, include banks, building and loan associations, life insurance companies, mortgage companies, and other lending agencies. Individuals may obtain FH/r.-insured farm mortgage loans to repair existing farm houses or buildings or to construct new houses or buildings. In addition, they may borrow to refinance existing mortgages upon their property, solong as at teast 15 per cent of the loan proceeds is applied to materials and labor in construction or repair work.

These insured mortgage loans are distinct from modernization and repair loans provided for in Title I of the National Housing Act. Loans of the latter type are exclusively for financing improvements upon property already owned, including the construction of new buildings where the loans do not exceed $2,500 each. Title I loans for improvement may amount to $10,000, but Title I loans may not exceed five years for improvement or seven years for the construction of nerv residences.

FHA-insured mortgage loans are long-term amortized credit advances. They are made by private institutions which the Federal Housing Administration insures against

lo,ss through payment to them, in case of default, in the form of Government-guaranteed obligations. The I.'HA does not lend money or build houses.

Mortgages insured by the FHA may amount to as much as $16,000. The interest rate may not exceed five per cent. In addition, a mortgage insurance premium is charged which amounts to one-quarter of one per cent in some cases and one-half of one per cent in others. FHA-insured mortgages may run as long as 25 years in the case of some mortgages of $5,400 or less, with a fuyear maximum in all other instances.

The maximum amount which may be borrowed in relation to the appraised value of farm property is 9O per cent for loans of $5,,100 or less, between 80 per cent and 90 per cent for loans from $5,400 to 8,600, and 80 per cent for loans exceeding $8,600. The exact proportion which may be borrowed depends upon the rating of the mortgage risk. FHA-insured mortgage loans on farms are repaid by the borrower in regular installments, either monthly, semi-annually, or annually, in accordance with the income of the borrower. Installments include principal and interest payments, hazard., fire, and mortgage insurance premiums, drainage and irrigation charges, ground rents, taxes, and special assessments. They do not include initial charges by lending institutions for title search, appraisal, and mortgage recording fees.

The application fee paid to the FHA amounts to $3 per $1,000 to cover the cost of its appraisal. In addition, the lending institution may collect an initial service charge to reimburse itself for the cost of closing the transaction. This charge may not exceed one per cent of the amount of the mortgage, or $20, whichever is greater, except in the case of construction loans where the charge may be one and onehalf per cent, or $30.

The FHA makes careful appraisals of the property upon which insured mortgage loans are made, and takes into consideration all factors affecting its value and usefulness. Its property requirements and construction standards also (Continued on Page 30)

Redwoodlndustry Practices Modern Forestry

"Outstanding progress has been made in the selective logging and modern forestry program of the California Redrvood industry," declared Dr. A. B. Recknagel, professor of forestry at Cornell lJniversity, following a tour this month through the various lumber operations of the region.

Professor Recknagel is a notable authority in the field of sustained yield operations and private forestry practices. In addition to his work at Cornell he has served as cor.rsulting forester to the northern lvhite pine and spruce producbrs of New England and for the past year has been a guest professor of forestry at the University of British Columbia. He will return to Cornell University this fall.

Accompanying the Cornell educator to the redwoods was Dr. J. N. Findlayson, dean of the College of Applied Science at the University of British Columbia, in which is includecl the British Columbia School of Forestry. They were joined on their tour by Professor Emanuel Fritz of. the Universitv of California, division of forestry.

Professor Recknagel pointed out that the present condition of the redwood production, standing at nearly 60 per cent in selective logging after less than five years of tractor logging, was an encouraging development and augured well for the future of a truly sustained yield basis in the reclu'oods. Private forestry, he declared, should be encouragecl by all governmental agencies r.vith every assistance offerecl to assure its permanent success.

Dangers o[ Lumber Salesmen !

One day a coupld of weeks ago Art Twohy, Los Angeles n,holesale lumberman, was making his rounds, calling on the retail trade, and shortly after the noon hour dropped in to see his old friend, Dick Loveday, and said. "Hello Dick."

Dick looked as though he had something on his mincl. and was Art surprised lvhen Dick replied: "Art can you give an accollnt of your whereabouts between 12:00 and I P. M. today."

"Why sure," said Art. "I had lunch at 12:00 o'clock, then called at an auto wrecker's lot to see if he had any automobiles."*

"Can you prove it?" questioned Dick.

"Sure I can. The waitress put her finger in my glass of u'ater and I didn't tip her. She'll remember me."

"Well, all right," remarked Dick, "I am glad to hear it. l)uring the noon hour when we were out to lunch the office till was robbed of $25.00. The catch on the lock n'as cut through with a hacksaw."

Art, who is always ready with a witty reply, said; "Looks like an inside job to me. Where \yere you during the noon hour, and can you prove it?"

Then the fireworks really did start, but nobody rvas hurt.

Dick sent Art on his way smiling rvhen he gave him a nice lurnber order but he is still trying to locate the person rvho

go, away with his 25 bucks.

FHA Mortgage Loans for Farm Buildings

(Continued irom page 27)

ofier safeguards to borrowers since they assure well-constructed homes and buildings. In addition to convenient. repayments in regular installments, the FHA plan eliminates second mortgages and periodical expensive refinancing costs.

Down payments by borrowers, which must amount to at least 10 per cent of the total property valuation, and in some cases to 20 per cent, do ltot necessarily have to consist of cash. Land already owned by the loan applicant may constitute all or part of the down payment.

While 15 per ,cent of the loan proceeds must be used for materials and labor in the repair or construction of buildings upon the farm property, contractors doing the construction rvork may employ the services of the bo,rrorver at customary wages or may purchase materials owned by the borrower at reasonable prices.

The term "farm" as applied to FHA-insured mortgages is interpreted by the administrative rules to mean real estate which in the judgment of the Admi,nistrator is capable of producing an annual gross income of $350 in kind, cash or rent from agricultural uses, or derives 25 per cent or more of its rental value fronr agricultural uses, or derirtes 25 per,cent or more of its capital value from its agricultural capacity.
