WALL OF PROTECTION

There are combinations of Insulite materials to fill every need in new building and remodeling. For 25 yearc,Insulite materials have been making homes more beautiful, tnore comfortable, more satisfying . . and besides, Insulite materials

Leatn how easily you can turn these demands into profitable business; write today for samples and complete information about Insulite building materials. The Insulite Company, Dept. C69, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

MRS. JONES: "Here is a light, invitingroomthatowesitscharmtothefactthatthe walls are built of Insulite, the modern wall material. It has just the individuality of design and surface I want in my living room.

"In this panclcd dining room, with fabric tcxturcd vialls built of insulite'materials, we will have thc quiet, cleanliness and comfort I've always dreamed of in our new home."

M R. JOI{ ES: "Yes, dear, and I want Insuhte modern materials in the outside walls. They too are made esoccially to save labor costs. cut fuel bills, proteit against wind and moisrure, and provide insalatiiz as part of the wall material. "

"There's the courage that nerves you in starting to climb, The mount of success, rising clear, And when you've slipped back, there's the courage sublime, That keeps you from shedding a tear; These two kinds of courag+more strength to the wordAre worthy of tribute-but thenYou'll not reach the summit unless you've the thirdThe courage to ffy it again." ***

And then, of course, there was the lumber salesman who lost his job because he was too independent. He took orders from nobody!

The annual vacation season is now at hand. I wonder if most folks who think of vacations do not instinctively vision tall waving trees, and running water?

Ship me far away from cities, Where the whispering Pines grow tall, And the forest, still primeval, Green and shadowed like a wallRises up and bids me welcom+ Seems to smile and bid me welcomeWelcome to the green-leaved hallQuiet! Can't you hear it call? !F*{.

And then, of course, there was the Indian girl who applied for relief. She said she was so poor she actually didn't have a Sioux to her name. ***

A lumber friend sends in this one:

"The government has so governed my business that I don't know who owns it. I am inspected, suspected, examined and re-examined, informed, misinformed, required and commanded so that I don't know who I am, where I am, or why I am. All f know is that I am supposed to be an inexhaustible supply of money for every known need, desire or hope of the bureaucrats; and because I will not sell all that I have and go out and beg, borrow, and steal money to give away to people who have done nothing to earn it and probably do not deserve a cent of it, I have been cussed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talked about, held up, hung up, robbed and nearly ruined. The only reason f am clinging to life is to see what the Hell is coming next."

As I look and muse upon the mad world that now surrounds us, I think of a passage from Voltaire's wonderful little short story, "Candide," which brings the great Frenchman to the topmost heights of sarcasm. He relates a dialogue between Candide and Martin. Candide asks Martin: "Do you believe that men have always massacred one another as they do today, that they have always been liars, cheats, traitors, ingrates, brigands, idiots, thieves, scoundrels, gluttons, drunkards, misers, envious, ambitious, debauchees, fanatics, hypocrites and fools?" To which Martin replied: "Do you believe that hawks have always eaten pigeons when they have found them?" "Without doubt" replied Candide. "Well then," said Martin, "if hawks have always had the same character, why should you imagine that men have changed theirs?"

I have before me a letter from a lumber friend of mine, and it is so filled with bristling indignation that it almost singed the paper it was written on. He has been selling building material all his life, but the other day he had to buy some, and what happened was the cause of his indignant letter. He bought an old house for an investment. It needed painting, and some inside work. He asked for bids on the job, and the figures he got knocked his hat off. So he went out and got prices on the actual MATERIALS to be used in the house, and the difference between the material prices and the contract prices vyere more than the usual gap-they were a yawning abyss. My friend wants to know how in the world we are going to ever make the building business prosper again if builders have to pay such prices for getting the work done as were asked of him? ,* ri rt

'Twere a waste of good printers ink and white paper to discuss this subject with any hope of convincing anyone. Adam Smith, wisest of all economists, wrote long ago the gospel truth that whenever a tax or a price gets too high it "invokes the law of diminishing returrrs." Every thinking man knows that this is true. Everything we do, proves it. Yet mankind is slow to incorporate this philosophy into its daily workings. When the labor cost becomes so high that people cannot afford to pay it, the demand dies. In the instance I have just referred to, my friend would never have bought the house at all, had he known what it was going to cost him to put it in proper condition. He knew what

the materials would cost, but the total price surprised and dismayed him. It is hard to convince the building trade workers that continually advancing wage scales in many localities definitely bring the workers themselves "diminishing returns" in the long run. A fair wage that the ordinary builder can afford to pay will undotrbtedly produce a greater annual income to the skilled laborer, than a per hour wage that.frighten" l"t."t";

I know this friend of mine from Missouri thinks he "put the bee, on me when he wrote and asked what in the name of all that's holy is the CAMBIUM of a tree? Sure I know! And I didn't even have to look it up. Because the Cambium of a tree is a genuine PERSONALITY that is hard to forget. Yes sir ! The Cambium of a tree, even though you have to use a microscope to see it, is one of the most attractively intelligent things the inanimate world can point to. It is a zone of thin-walled cells between the wood and the bark of a tree, forming a layer of delicate and succulent tissues between the two, and performing some of the miracles of Mother Nature. These cells are highly charged during the growing season of the year with a viscid fuid which holds in solution the food or nourishment of the tree. These Cambium cells are what the botanist sharps call "meristematic," meaning that the mother cells divide and give rise to daughter cells, uniform in kind, the particular duties of which are the propagation and production of BARK elements on the outside, and WOOD elements on the inside of the Cambium. Yet this very active and vital element of a tree is so thin that it cannot be detected by the naked eye; it requires a microscope. ***

When trees grow in temperate regions the activity of the Cambium ceases when winter comes, and is not renewed again until spring. Through the spring and summer months there is natural wood growth on the inside of the Cambium. But during the late summer and fall, nature brings the message that winter is coming, and immediately the Cambium begins devoting itself to the building of

strengthening tissues much more dense and compact than the fiber which has been growing normally through the spring and summer. And so these two zones, which difrer much in character and density but are produced within a single year, constitute an annual "ring" in the wood. The age of the tree as well as its rate of diameter increase can be determined by the number and width of these growth rings. And it is the entirely changed operation of this very intelligent Cambium in preparing for winter, that makes the wood difference that creates the annual ring. Smart, eh? It's a great mistake, you see, to call some human dumbbell a "wooden head." You're fattering him. For there are very few human heads that contain anything one-half as intelligent as the Cambium of a tree.

My old friend "Ifncle Johnnie" Bonner died the other day. He is the man to whom I dedicated my first book of stories, "Cullud" Fun. I never saw him when he wasn't grinning at his friends, a happy, cheerful word always on his lips no matter how ill he might be. He died just that waylaughing. He was probably the most popular personality that East Texas ever produced. Yet, though he had the gentleness of a woman, he also had the courage of a lion, and the forcefulness of a battering ram. FIe never struck a sail to fear. He loved his friends as men seldom do, and served thern well. He never overlooked a chance to help one. He was a famous member of Hoo-Hoo, having senred as Snark of the Universe when the Order was in its hey-day, and from ocean to ocean and from Gulf.to Canada members of the Order heard "IJncle Johnnie" deliver his incomparable negro sermon, and helped him with the choruses. Never was a negro seffnon like it. In order not to be sacrilegious he used for his text the words of "Old Mother Hubbard." And how he used them. He made everybody happier who knew him, which is an epitaph and a benediction in itself. I asked him one fall day how he was doing. He said terrible. I wanted to know why, and he said the hunting season was about to begin, and he was three weeks behind with his fishing. That was "Lfncle Johnnie."

The present limitation is $3,000,000,00O, and the outstanding principal obligation at this time is approximately $1,40O,000,000, not including approximately $4@,000,00O in outstanding commitments to insure.

2.-Continuation of the F.H.A.'s authority to insure mortgages on existing construction until July 1, 1941. Homes financed with F.H.A.-insured mortgages will continue to be eligible for F.H.A. financing indefinitely.

3.-Requirement that in the refinancing of mortgages the applicant for insurance must file a certificate that the mortgage holder has refused to grant him equally favorable terms.

4.-Extension indefinitely of the authority of the F.H.A. to insure mortgages on small, newly constructed homes involving mortgages of not more than $54@ for terms up to 25 years. Under the old bill the maximum maturity of 25 years reverted to 20 years as of July 1.

5.-Authori zation to continue insurance of lending insti' tutions against loss on property improvement loans up to $2500 each with a new provision empowering the administrator to charge an insurance premium not in excess of V+ of. I per cent to ofiset a portion of operating expenses and losses.

Informs Congress Building Material Dealers Boosting Low-Cost Homes

Washington, D. C., May 29.-While sundry and various statements continue to be made that one-half the population of the United States cannot afford to buy homes of their own, Frank Carnahan, Secretary of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, in a letter to members of Congress today pointed out that building material dealers and others in the home-building field for several years past have been specializing on low-cost homes comfortably within the means of persons with annual incomes as low as $1,000 a year.

Mr. Carnahan, in thanking members of Congress for their su'pport of amendments to the National Housing Act, calls att'ention to the thousands of attractive small homes, built of high-grade materials, which have been financed under the FHA insured mortgage system. In all sections of the country, and especially in small communities, rural areas and in outlying suburbs of large cities, such homes are now under construction to sell for as little as $2,500.

Frankly conceding that in 1934 home building was stagnant and financing for new homes unavailable, Mr. Carnahan declares that the retail lumber and building material dealers have bee,n boosting low-cost homes-quality homes within the $3,000 to $4,000 rang'e-ever since FHA insured mortgages made financing available.

Furthermore, under Title I of the National Housing Act, a great many small homes have been built to sell for substantially less than that amou,nt, and this year the major drive in the privately financed low-cost housing field is centering on quality homes to cost $2,500 to $3,00O. This means that these homes, with a 10 per cent down-payment under FHA, can be purchased on monthly payments as low as $15 or $16, bringing them well within the reach of citizens with incomes as low as $1.000.

Mr. Carnahan points out to Congress that the annual report of FHA, just released, shows that in 1938 the averag'e monthly payment on homes purchased under insured mortgages was $30.06, which comprised only 12 per cent of the home owners' average income, a sharp decline from earlier years.

He particularly commends Congress for having extended the provisions of Title I for another two years from July 1, next. In this connection he points out that Title I loans are made on a character rating of the borrower. Thousands of small homes have been built in rural and outlying areas under Title I, where the cost limit on new construction is $2,500. Most of these sound but modest homes have cost considerably less than the $2,50O limit.

"Made in USA" Lumber Indentiftcation A. \f. Green District Sales Manager at Ordered

by Treasury Department .Chicago for Union Lumber Company

Seattle, Wash., May Z7.-Success for the West Coast lumber industry in its effort to have the provisions of the Domestic Origins Act effectively applied to lumber used in Federal construction was announced todav bv the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

"The Treasury Department has ordered that every invitation issued by State Procurement Officers to bid on Government requirements for lumber shall stipulate that grade-marked lumber contain the phrase, 'Made in U.S.A.' in the grade-mark," the Association announcement stated. "The order also requires that all lumber purchased on certificate of inspection from any industrial inspection agency or inspector in Government service shall have included a certification that the lumber is 'Made in U.S.A.' or an equivalent identification of Domestic Origin.

"The Treasury Department order refers specifically to Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock, Western red cedar, and spruce lumber," the Association said. "The manufacture and transportation of these woods are the mainstay of pay rolls and business activity in the Pacific Northwest. They face extensive foreign competition in American lumberconsuming centers. West Coast lumber has suffered loss in domestic markets as well as in exports because foreign Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock, Western red cedar and spruce are produced and shipped at much lower costs than oufs,

"The Domestic Origins Act of 1934 was designed to aid American labor and manufacturers by barring foreign materials from Government construction. The only effective way this can be done with Douglas fir and related lumber is through an official requirement that the lumber be identified as of American production.

"The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has waged a long fight for enforcement of the provisions of the Domestic Origins Act. The Association has adopted a new grade-mark for the lumber of its members which includes the phrase, 'Made in U.S.A.' as an effective means of carrying out the purpose of this Act. The new order of the Treasury Department fortifies and supports this action of the Association with the authority of the Government."

Sherman A. Bishop resigned his position as district sales manager at Chicago for the Union Lumber Company on June 1 to join the sales department of Congoleum-Nairn Inc., for whom he will do sales promotion rvork. Mr. Bishop was connected with the Union Lumber Company for seventeen years and established a most enviable record with that concern. Many letters have reached him from the Union Lumber Company officials and his former associates extending every good wish for success in his new work.

A. W-. Green has been transferred to Chicago from the Union Lumber Company's San Francisco office and has taken over the management formerly handled by IVIr. Bishop. Together they spent the past thirty days calling on the trade and the various Union Lumber Company representatives in the Middle Western territory.

Both sides of Mr. Green's family have been directly connected with the lumber business for several generations. One, the famous Blodgett family, being among America's outstanding pioneers in this industry. From his early childhood days in the Grays Harbor country, Mr. Green has been carefully grounded in all the rudiments of lumber and thus by both experience and education is especially well equipped to handle the arduous task to which he has been assigned. For several years prior to going to Chicago, Mr. Green was in the general office at San Francisco where he was in charge of all matters connected with Eastern sales, He, therefore, is intimately familiar with the Chicago territory and the requirements of its trade.

Just as soon as his attractive home in San Francisco is sold Mr. Green plans to move his wife and two small sons to Chicago.

SCAMMELL ERECTS NEW BUILDING

Scammell Lumber Co. is building a new office and dry shed at 9th Avenue Pier, Oakland. The new structure is of modernistic type with streamlined front. The exterior is finished with Resn,prest all-weather plywood. The building is 95 by 25 feet.

Ed Iversen is manager and J. W. Scammell is owner of Scammell Lumber Co.

Many retail lumber concerns have set a good example to others in the last few years by remodeling their plants. An outstanding job was done about a year ago by Central Lumber Company, which rebuilt and remodeled its yard at 100 East Elm Street, Compton. The work was carried on with practically no interruption of business and Oscar Peterson, owner, is justly proud of his new place.

Mr. Peterson established this business in 7922 and it has grown and prospered since that time.

Central Lumber Company carries a complete line of building materialb, builders hardware, paints, tools, glass and sundry supplies. Pabco Paints are handled, also painters'items in the National Lead Qesl'pany's Dutch Boy line. This yard specializes in Certain-teed Roofing.

Central Lumber Company Remodels Plant

Just Salvaging a Bit

Sandy MacPhairson came home from work one day, and as he entered the yard and came up the front steps his wife noticed that his shoulders were drooped, his head was bowed, his steps lacked their usual click, and altogether he seemed very much dejected and discouraged. So she hastened to meet him, and as he faced her she saw that his lips were black as coal. Then, before she could ask a question he opened his mouth to speak, and she saw his tongue, and it, too, was black and terrible looking. She was filled

Nearly 2500 Enrolled in Dealers Training School

Nearly 2500 enthusiastic lumber dealers, their employees and their salesmen are enrolled in a country-wide training school from which they will graduate with a new conception of better selling methods-tested and lproven methods that are being brought to them by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association after a country-wide survey of sales conditions in the lumber and buiLding materials industry.

This was the favorable report that the national association received from its Merchandising Institute on the first anniversary of its formation, at the annual convention held in Washington, D. C., last month. Hawley W. Wilbur, of West Allis, Wis., president of the Institute, presided over its sessions.

The work of the Merchandising Institute was commended by the incoming president of the national association, Roger S. Finkbine, of Des Moines, Iowa, who also was named to the board of directors of the Institute at its annual meeting.

Before returning home Mr. Ishii will visit the Redwood mills in the course of a trip to the Redwood Empire.

Outdoor Plywood on the Farm

Plywood is a building material whose natural characteristics suit it to use on the farm. The perfected weatherproof plywood is stocked by many progressive dealers, and from distributing stocks it is easily available to all ; accordingly, the volume t-'f farm purchases has become noticeably important.

Waterproof plvwood has been used extensively for truck bodies, seed beds, irrigation gates, water troughs and flumes, fruit and vegetable trays, and in the manufacture of incubators and features of various agricultural tools and implements. The farmer has become familiar with its multiple qualities by observing its use also in the trading centers-in cold storage rooms and quick-freezing compartments-in thc community dairy as washing and scalding trays and vats, work table tops, etc.-in the ice cream departments for cabinets, retail sales counters, etc. It is used for road signs, concrete forms, service station covering, and a wide variety of uses-wherever a weatherproof panel board serves best.

As an example, and further evidence, of plywood's adaptability to the farm and all construction uses, a plan of a carefully designed portable hog house has been prepared by Harbor Plywood Corporation, I{oquiam, Wash., and may be obtained without charge. This structure meets the requirements of the practical hog raiser, and is often purchased several units at a time. It is remarkably light in weight, and therefore more portable. The sliding-movable-tilting roof is easily opened to permit healthful airing and sunning. Being light in weight, the herdsman may shift it sufficiently to take advantage of the angle of the sun. There are no cracks in the solid panel floor, and no cracks to admit draughts and

weather. Strong pig fenders protect the little fellows. The construction is substantial and the materials permanent-yet it is simple to build. The farmer must be cautioned regarding the type of plywood to useit must be waterproof plywood. The extra precautions are to the advantage of the dealer and all concerned, for the manufacturers of outdoor fir plywood guarantee it against separation of plies due to moisture or any weathering conditions. Outdoor plywood rnay easily be identified by the brand on the edges of all panels.

Increase in Small Home Building Beneftting Lumber Industry

Washington, May ZZ.-"Lumber as the most widely used material of home building is sharing in the benefits of the continued imrpetus given small home building by both public and private projects," says the 32nd quarterly report of the Lumber Survey Committee to the Department of Commerce, released today.

Calling low-cost housing progress the "brightest promise of improvement in the lumber trade," the Survey says many large projects are under way and that private enterprise home building aided by improved mortgage financing is gaining headway.

"The National Small Homes Demonstration, Inc., a cooperation of leadi.ng building and building material industries, initiated by the lumber industry, has been an effective nationwide means of popularizing interest in small homes and of pointing the way toward important improvements in design and economies in cost."

The increase in small home building reflects the improved position in lumber consumption, including exports in the first quarter of. 1939, being estimated at 5.5 billion feet and for the first six months at 11.5 billion feet, or l7/o above the first half of 1938. However, it is nearly 4O/o below the first six months ol198.

Total national lumber stocks at the mills as of April l,1939, ryere approximately 8.0 billion feet, compared with stocks on January l, :1939, of 8.4 billion feet, and 8.2 billion feet on April 1, 1938, says the report. "Although lumber stocks are not excessive, they are inadequate in some items and grades in some regions, especially in the face of any large increase in demand."

TIME LOST

The time I've lost in wooing

In watching and pursuing,

The light that lies

In woman's eyes, Has been my heart's undoing.

Tho wisdom oft has sought me, I scorned the lore she brought me, My only books

Are women's looks

And folly's all they taught me.

CALVIN COOLIDGE SAID:

Economic well-being is very important, but perhaps not so important as we thought it was. If it is used as it ought to be, to minister to spiritual well-being, we cannot have too much of it. But if it is made a vehicle for stimulating greed and selfishness, idleness and ignorance' extravagance and waste, destructive alike to body and soul, it defeats itself and vanishes until through adversity we can learn to make a better use of prosperity. The development of the real character of men and women can go on in bad times as well as in good times. After all, that is the important thing. We think we want relief from toil and worry, forgetful that all our real satisfactions are in our achievements. If we will but make the effort to develop them, if we will apply ourselves faithfully to our tasks, we shall all find that we have powers that we did not know we possessed.

CONTRADICTIONS

It was midnight on the ocean, Not a streetcar was in sight, The sun was shining brightly, And it rained all day that night.

'Twas a summer's day in winter, And the snowflakes fell like glass; A barefoot boy with shoes on, Stood sitting on the grass.

'Twas evening and the rising sun 'Was setting in the West; And the little fishes in the trees, Were huddled in their nests. The rain was pouring, pouring down, The moon was shining bright, And ever5rthing that you could see, Was hidden out of sight.

While the organ pealed bananas, Lard was rendered by the choir, As the sexton rang the dish-rag, Someone set the church on fire.

"Holy smoke !" the preacher shouted, In the rain he lost his hair, Now his head resembles Heaven, For there is no parting there.

Current lgsue "The Palco \(/ool Insulator"

Herbert A. Habeck Appointed District Features Cold Storage Locker Plants Salag Manager for Eagtern Territory

Two hundred cqld storage locker plants in eighteen different states, all insulated with Palco Wool. are featured in the current issue of "The Palco Wool Insulator," published by The Pacific Lumber Company of San Francisco.

With sixteen pages of illustrations and charts, it goes into detail in describing the construction and operations of twenty of these plants.

Among the unique plants discussed, is one with a double-deck arrang'ement of the lockers which gives greater cubicle content with less floor, wall and ceiling area. Such a method, is reported by the owner, to conserve first costs as well as operating costs of the plant.

Also included, is a report from a grocery and meat market manager who installed a locker service. This man found that the locker plant has increased his grocery and meat market business while bringing in extra revenue from locker rentals.

Palco Redwood Lumber is also featured in the construction details due to its distinctive properties which make it ideally adaptable for interior finishes in locker plants.

According to Edric E. Brown, manager of the Palco Wool division of The Pacific Lumber Company, extra copies of the booklet are available for those interested by writing the company's headquarters, 100 Bush Street, San Francisco.

BACK FROM EUROPEAN TRIP

George Pope, Jr., president, and Charles R. Wheeler, executive vice-president, Pope & Talbot Lumber Company and McCormick Steamship Company, have returned from a month's business trip to Europe.

On August n, 1913, Nelson H. Morgan entered the employ of the Libby Lumber Company, Libby, Montana, an affiliate of the Shevlin Carpenter Clarke Company, soon thereafter starting as a salesman. On February 1, 1916, he was transferred to the Minneapolis office of the Shevlin Carpenter Clarke Company and remained there until May l, lgn, when he was transferred to New York as district sales manager.

Because of ill health, Mr. Morgan has asked to be relieved of the duties of district sales manager at New York, effective Jluly l, 1939. In the 26 years that Mr. Morgan has so faithfully served the various affiliates of the Shevlin Carpenter Clarke Company, and later the Shevlin Pine Sales Company, he has won many friends for himself and for the companies whom he has represented. It is with sincere regret that the company must accept Mr. Morgan's resignation. He has the best wishes of his associates and friends for a return to better health and renewed activity.

The Shevlin Pine Sales Company has announced the appointment of Herbert A. Habeck to succeed Mr. Morgan as district sales manager for the eastern territory, with headquarters continuing in Room 1604, Graybar Building, New York City.

Mr. Habeck entered the employ of the Shevlin Carpenter Clarke Company after returning from active service in the World 'War, on July 1, 1919. He has been in the New York office continuously since that time, first with the Shevlin Carpenter Clarke Company and later with the Shevlin Pine Sales Company. During these 20 years he has been active in furthering the interests of Shevlin Pine and the customers of the companies whom he has represented. He has made an enviable record in this respect, and it is considered that his promotion is well deserved. Mr. Habeck is well and favorably known by the lumber fraternity in the eastern states, and his many friends will welcome his promotion.

VISIT HAMMOND MILL

Bob Gehring of Rolando Lumber Co., San Francisco, and Bob Caldwell of Hammond Redwood Co., San Francisco, recently made a trip to the Hammond mill at Samoa.

TREASURE ISTAND---A Triumph of Timber Engineering

Literally millions of dollars were saved by the application of the latest in timber engineering, with structural Douglas fir as a basic material, to the building of the San Francisco World's Fair, according to John J. Gould, chief construction engineer.

While the matchless economy of timber construction was a major reason for the specifications that led to orders for more than 2,000 carloads of Douglas fir and West Coast hemlock for the building of the Fair, there were other prime considerations.

With timber, architectural designs on a grand scale were made possible, resulting in exhibit palaces 886 feet long and with roof trusses having clear spans of 2@ feet.

Treasure Island is filled-in ground. Real insurance against damage to the vast buildings from variable settlement was provided for in hinged arch designs for the timber roof trusses.

Walls and wind baffles, structures such as the Elephant Towers-l30 feet high-were braced for wind resistance with Douglas fir sheathing diagonally applied. On most structures this was fortified by a second layer of Douglas fir boards, milled to form exterior lath.

l/2"x6' tongue and groove, mixed grain West Coast hemlock flooring was specified for the exhibit palaces, an area of 800,000 square feet. In the Ford Palace and other individual exhibit buildings the beauty and wear-resistant qualities of this flooring were capitalized by means of simple sanding and natural stain. Although the Ford exhibit draws great crowds daily, maintenance of this floor of natural beauty is inexpensive, according to C. L. Olmstead, exhibit manager.

A number of new ideas in timber engineering were de-

veloped by John J. Gould and other Exposition engineers and architects. For the Auditorium of the Hall of Western States, for example, three-hinged arches of 7O-foot span were designed, using 7'x12" chords, with a double layer of diagonal sheathing nailed on each side. The arches are 45 feet high.

The cost of the Auditorium complete was $2.66 per square foot.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has issued a four-page, two-color leaflet that pictures the most interesting engineering features of the timber construction of the ' San Francisco World's Fair. It is available upon request to the Association , at 364 Stuart Building, Seattle, Washington; or it may be obtained from the secretaries of retail lumber associations.

"This leaflet is really an invitation from the West Coast lumber industry to its patrons and friends to visit the Association's exhibit in the Palace of Ho'mes and Gardens, and to witness throughout Treasure Island an outstanding demonstration of the value of our woods in the uses of modern timber engineering," says Col. W. B. Greeley, Secretary-Manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. "The traditional rornantic spirit of the Pacific countries has been captured and embodied in the Exposition's architectural design. All the resources of modern engineering in illumination as well as in timber construction have been wonderfully combined to make this spirit live on a gigantic scale. The result is a sttperb spectacle, apart from the individual exhibits and entertainment features. The timber structure alone will make a visit to Treasure Island worth while to anyone interested in the business of building."

Penberthy Lumber Company, Los Angeles, has a new streamlined lumber truck on the road which is really something different in the lumber industry.

This job was specially designed and built for them by the Advance Auto Body Works of Los Angeles. It is mounted on a one and one-half ton cab-over auto car chassis, and is very attractive and practical as well.

The cab and body are as one unit. It is finished in a rich royal blue with a lighter blue striping, and Ash trim, finished ,natural, which makes a very distinctive job. On first sight you feel it might fly, for the streamlining has the appearance of wings.

This new type of constructi'on, as shown in the above illustration, has made possible many practical improvements over the old-style roller truck.

The job is completely skirted, adding greatly to the looks. Another valuable feature is that it has space along both sides that can be used for advertising purposes or the firm's name.

The truck under the rollers is entirely floored' This helps to cover up the mechanical parts of the truck, and also

New Streamlined Lumber Truclc an Attractive Job

keeps the lumber clean, protecting it from dirt and other maierials that might be thrown up by the wheels' Also, with the floor, it can be used as a flat bed truck'

The bulkhead is designed to be an integral part of the streamlined body, and is heavily reinforced with cor-ten channel steel.

In skirting the truck, it was necessary to eliminate the ratchets on the sides, and a new way to tie on or cinch the loads had to be devised. This was successfully acoomplished and the new ratchet has proved very practical'

A chromium steel bumper on the back deflects the load and prevents it from hitting the back of the truck in dumping, also it aids in backing under loads.

The firm name, on the side of the truck, is in raised letters made of Ash. All the side boards, trimmings, etc', als'o are Ash which adds to the beauty of the truck and advertises their products as well.

Lumbermen Ask W.gner Labor Act Revision

Washington, May 16.-Ame.ndments to the Wagner National Labor Relations Act, designed to relieve the employer from factional disputes and boycotting by rival unions, were presented by representatives of the lumber industry to the Senate Committee on Education and Labor in Washington last week. These amendments were proposed by the West Coast Forest Industries Committee and approved by the National Lumber Industry Committee' No other lumber industry groups have been scheduled to appear but the Industrial Employees lJnion, an independent union of lumber rvorkers, is appearing today before the House Committee.

,tppearing before the Committee were: Morris H. Jones, president, Jones Lumber Co., Portland, Oregon; John J' Long, president, Harbor Plywood Corp., Hoquiam, Washington; E. G. Griggs, II, president, St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma, Washington, and Robert Maxwell, attorney for the West Coast Forest Industries. Their testimony was the first presented by any industry group and marked the initial hearing given industry in which to present its side of the Wagner Act controversy.

Asking only amendments to more completely accomplish the desirable objectives of the Act, the witnesses avoided criticism of the Board itself, but pointed out numerous weaknesses in the NLRA and cited specific cases of union jurisdictional disputes and other actions tending to discourage the lumber industrY.

Mr. Jones told of labor difficulties in the Portland mills dating from August, 1937, including boycotting, picketing, and refusal by one union to handle logs and lumber cut and manufactured by another resulting in the closure of the mills.

"Even after October, 1937, when by means of a payroll audit compared with C.I.O. membership cards and not a bona fide election, the NLRB certified the C.I.O. union as the bargaining agent for sawmill employees, boycotts and rivalry increased and the problem of keeping the mills orpen became more serious," said Mr. Jones. "So-called 'goon' activities of destruction of property by rival groups were carried on and threats and rumors of further boycotting are still current."

Mr. Long testified to labor troubles prevailing at his mill for more than two years. He emphatically stated that his ,company believed in the right of employees to bargain collectively a,nd had lived up to the letter and spirit of the NLRA.

Jurisdictional disputes were general, he stated, and an election held in the plywood plant favoring the C.I.O. 3 to 1 started a boycott of Harbor products by A. F. of L. locals throughout the country. This was followed by withdrawal of the A. F. of L. of an agreement between the union, embracing the door mill employees, and the company and the making of impossible demands by the C.I.O. local-

finally ending in charges being filed by the union that the company failed to bargain.

"similar conditions plague the sawmills and logging camps of Grays Harbor," testified Mr. Long, "and have reduced this once prosperous industry to almost complete stagnation. By the end of 1938 every sawmill and logging camp on the Harbor was closed down and onlv a few have yet opened."

The third to appear, E. G. Griggs II, told the Committee of a boycott placed on St. Paul and Tacoma products in August 1937 and still in effect. It resulted from company use of other than A. F. of L. union men in a reconstruction program, he said, although the majority of the men later joined the union. This was followed by several strikes and an electio.n in which the C.I.O. was given jurisdiction. This action resulted in an extended boycott of St. Paul and Tacoma lumber throughout the middle-western territory by A. F. of L. locals. "situations like this," Mr. Griggs told the Committee, "are, I believe, evidence that the Act was not designed to take care of such instances a.nd should be amended to do so."

Mr. Max'uvell brought several cases of labor disturbances to the attention of the Committee. Of particular interest was his statement that an NLRB representative had said before a group of employers: "The C.I.O. is a good union to bargain with" and had generally solicited C.I.Q.representation. He cited experiences on the West Coast and the inadequacy of the Act to take care of jurisdictional disputes and unwarranted boycotts, as proof of the need for amendment of the Act.

That the spokesmen for the West Coast Industry Committee made an impressive showing in support of their appeal for amendments is indicated by the response of groups opposed to as well as those favoring amendment of the Act.

Maritime Commission Holds Hearings at S. F. on Coastwise Lumber Rates

The following cases have been assigned for hearing before Examiner C. O. Arthur of the U. S. Maritime Commission at San Francisco on June 13:

Pacific Coastwise Carrier Investigation (Docket 525), Robert C. Parker vs. W. R. Chamberlin & Co. et al. (Docket 5D), and Pacific Coast Lumber Rates-McCormick Steamship Company (Docket 530).

The first docket covers the Maritime Commission's general investigation into the entire coastal trade. The second docket co.ncerns a complaint by Robert C. Parker, chairman of the Pacific Lumber Carriers Association, against member lines of the conference he heads. The third docket regards the Commission's suspension of the McCormick Steamship Company's proposed reduction of lumber rates in the coastal trade.

The issues cover the chartering of ships at tariffs alleged to be below the conference levels, and the subsequent application of the McCormick Steamship Company in an independent action to reduce coastwise lumber rates as a means to meet competition.

NEW YARD AT MONTEREY PARK

C. E. Moon Lumber Company has opened a yard at the former location of the Acme Lumber Company, 116 N. Garfield Ave., Monterey Park. E. C. Moon, manag'er, was formerly with Patten-Blinn Lumber Company, at Alhambra.

Curtis Companies Incorporated, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork, have their com,plete line of products effectively displayed in one of the most attractive homes at the New York Fair. This is House No. 15 in the "Town of Tomorrow," and is pictured here.

The Curtis Woodwork house was designed by Godwin, Thompson & Patterson, Architects, of New York City. Its exterior design was inspired by the Colonial homes of old Williamsburg. The cozy arrangeme.nt of the interior, too, follows Early American tradition. The house has seven rooms and three baths. Dou'nstairs are living room, dining room, kitchen, maid's room and bath. Three bedrooms and two baths are upstairs. The basement incorporates the heater rooms, laundry and recreation area. There is a t'l'r'ocar attached garage, rvith Curtis garage doors.

lfouse No. 15 is equipped throughout with Curtis Woodrvork, including Curtis Silentite Windovi's. Both the doublehung and the casement Silentites are used most effectively -also the nerv Curtis Circle Sash-called "Rotovent." Curtis Mitertite pre-fit trim is used throughout.

The very modern kitchen has Curtis sectional kitchen cabinets arranged in a most pleasing way. This kitchen is very appealing to the many women lvho visit the house and Curtis planned and equipped the kitchen to make it as beautiful and step-saving as possible. It is compact and

colorful-shorving Curtis cabinets to splendid advantage.

The traditional design of House No. 15, and its excellent use of stock Curtis Woodwork items is making it very popular with Mr. and Mrs. America, and it is expected that rnillions of people will see this charming home. An unusual decorative treatment was used o.n the exterior. The shutters and doors are painted a robin's-egg blue, trimmed in white.

Curtis Woodwork was also used throughout "Home'17vesd"-1hs All-gas Good Housekeeping Home at the New York Fair. This is part of the Gas Exhibits, Inc., and is an extremely beautiful home. Curtis Woodwork was selected for this home by the architects and Good Housekeeping Magazine. The June issue of Good Housekeeping magazine devoted several pages to pictures and descriptions of this home. Many of the views are in full color and shorv the Curtis Woodwork in the home in a very effective manner.

The Western Pine Home at the San Francisco Fair is equipped with Curtis Silentite Windows. This house is drawing fuom 72 p€r c€nt to 15 per cent of the daily gate at the Fair-a fact which shows the wide interest in better homes.

Curtis invites all interested in modern homes and in good construction and fine millwork to visit these Fair houses Dealers, contractors, and architects are urged to "talk up" these display homes and urge friends and acquaintances to see them at the Fairs.

Redwood Loggers Discuss lmproved Logging Methods

Nearly seventy Redwood loggers met in Humboldt County, California, on May 5 and 6 to discuss Redwood logging problems. The meeting opened with a field trip to the Monument Creek operations of The Pacific Lumber Company opposite Scotia, Calif. Under the direction of Gordon Manary, superintendent of logging, H. I. Bower, engineer, and Bert King, foreman, the party went by railroad over a 3,60O foot long incline to the lateral track, 850 feet higher up, and inspected the selective logging now in progress. Moving from Setting No. 1 to Setting No. 5 the party was able to see horv steadily this new method of Redwood logging had been improved. The stands here are heavy, averaging nearly 90,000 feet per acre. Only the mature trees are removed, the immature being reserved for future growth and harvest.

On the second day the loggers met in Eureka and discussed a variety of topics-peeling, felling, breakage, selective logging, tractor organization, fire 'protection, slash disposal and other topics. Bark must be removed from Redwood logs before they go to the head saw. The conventional method of peeling is to remove the bark in the woods and burn it in place. Now interest is directed tou'ard peeling at a central plant, perhaps at the mill poncl, thus having the advantage of the bark as a protection against sun checks, yarding bruises and accidental fires, while at the same time reducing the amount of debris in the woods. One operator has been doing this for some years and has a market for the bark. Until the market improves the bark at other plants, if central peeling is adopted, must be burned.

--- ' Selective logging is rapidly becoming standard practice in the Redwoods. More than 5O/o ol the annual logging is now on a selective basis. This change has come about in less than 5 years. Previously only clear cutting was practiced and for about B years and until the ,plan was found to be unsuccessful, the clear cut land $/as planted. Now natural reforestation from residual trees is depended upon. The residual trees themselves make a prodigious increase in their annual rate of growth after release from crowding and should be available for a second cut well before virgin timber is gone. It is the hope of the operators thus to put the Redwood industry on a permanently productive basis.

This was the third Redwood logging congress sponsored by the California Redr,vood Association under the guidance of Emanuel Fritz, professor of Forestry at the University of California and forestry consultant for the association. fnterest at the meeting in all subjects was keen and discussion was spirited and decidedly co,nstructive. Redwood

- loggers take pride in solving difficult problems, of which they feel they have more than enough, compared with other regions. Their ambition now is to put the Redwood industry in the lead for constructive selective logging, perfected fire protection and closer utilization of the entire tree.

Our Pup, John Silver

We have a pup that was wished on usA dear little, queer little ornery cuss, Four big feet and a mop of hair, Two floppy ears and a baby stare;

IIe's exceedingly friendly, infrequently riled And kindly disposed toward adult and child, So, we've named him John Silver.

Now he's not so bad and he's not so good, As the ways of a puppy are understood;

He sleeps in the sun when he's not at play, Sometimes he prowls through the woods all dayComes home with brambles and bugs in his hair

And we have to detick him, right then and thereOur reckless John Silver.

He bays at the moon as it tops the hill

And at midnight, when everything's spooky and still, He fairly curdles the roots of our hair

By yapping at things that we know aren't there; He's ruined four shoes and a garden hat, But one can't trounce a poor little puppy for thatWell, not our John Silver.

Sometimes when we tire of his mischievous play, We solemnly mutter, "Let's give him ayay;" Then he stares at us with his big round eyes And seems to tell us, "You won't if you're wise; My naughty pup habits are yours to break And my loyal pup heart is yours to takeI'm your dog, John Silver."

First Four Months Lumber Exports Below 1938---lmpork Show Increase

Washington, June S,-Export of lumber the first four months of the year, as announced by the Department of Commerce on May 25, was 3O4,D2,W board feet, a gain of.4l/z% over the first four months of 1938. However, comparison with the total 1938 export figure ol 947,453,@O board feet, permitted by the limited new trade agreement opportunities, shows the average of four monthly periods last year to be 315,818,000 board feet, according to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. On this basis the first four months of 1939 show a loss under 1938 in exports of 3.65%.

A more significant comparison is observed from the fact that last year's export was less than 1 billion board feetthe lowest in 4O years-while the export in 1929 was more than three times that amount. Imports of lumber during the first four months of 1939, on the other hand, show an increase over last year of 46.5%.

Comparison might be made with the 1938 total import of 5DP4W board feet; but the restrictive import quota on Douglas fir and hemlock was removed on January 1, while in November the requirement for marks of origin on lumber had been suspended by the new trade agreement with Canada.

Comparing the rates of export-import in 1933, the first quarter export is shown to be 28/o less than the average four month periods for that year, while the import is 7l/o more than the 1933 import rate.
