How Lumber Looks

.Seattle,_Washington, June 11, 194O.-The weekly averase ot west Coast lumber production in May (5 weeks) wis 137,416,W board !.g,'". OS^8 p"i .."i Jf ifr. #..f.fy average for 1926-1929, the induitry's years of higheJt capacity realization, according to the West Coast ium_ bermen's Association _in its,rnonthly survey of the indus_ liy^.^^9t{Srs averaged I33,3ZZ,W 6oard ti,.i; rfrip-"r,t., 152,833,000. Weekly aue.ag"r- fo-, April rvere ; ;;;e;;: tion, .141,273,000 boir<l teei (7t.7 pei cent of the h.c.r. index); orders, 139,O76,W; ,'tip-JG, rcgf/g@

First 22 weeks ol 194O, cumulative production, 2,916,?4-.9W^ board feet ; same period, tg3g, i,S34,Aii,ffi ;'igid, z,Mr,384.lcn..

9r_aqfr !9r 22 lveeks of 1940 break down as follows: rail, 1,308,571ry board feet; domestic cargo, f ,fO+,g45p00; export, -182,635,000; local, 351,100,000.

. Th.e.industry's unfilled order file stood at 4ZS,MZ,W board teet at the end of_1Vlay; gross stocks, at 926,000,000. West Coast lumber offers'a jonfused pi.iur" "i'tfr.'nrri of June. Among the favorable influences are: the en- actment of the Buck-Johnson Resolution which has made available the laid up fieet of the Federal Go".r"-"rrt; ,"d, still more, the continued upswing in all forms of buiiding, except public construction

The A-pril reco_rd of new residential building reflects the sustained strength of the building movement, rvith a volume of new residential permits in the United States more than one-_fifth greater than in April of 1939.

The adverse influences aie those affecting most American industries, viz: the lack of confidence and"fea, created by the turn in the European war, by the jittery and declinini stock market, and especially by the iharp decline in thE values of most staple farm products. In ihe case of lumber, these factors have taken out of the market anv vestige of forward buying. Lumber dealers and industrial lumbir

users are unwilling to build up their inventories, are buy- ing only u'hat the! need from^day to day, and are bearing down the market for all these adverse influences are worth.

. 4pput"tttly, the basic demand for lumber, as expressed in building records, is stronger than the actual demand coming to West Coast sawmil-ls in the form of orders. In practical terms, the position of West Coast lumber has weakened slightly since April, with both less production and a smaller volume of sales.

For the year to date, the industry has produced and sold more lumber than in the same period -for 1939 and this record could easily be maintained- if the market could be freed of the fears cieated bv outside influences.

There has been a slight increase in the buying of railroad and car material, but otherwise there is no increased demand that is traceable to rvar time business.

. Ifowever, the building of homes today is very closely related to the monthly pay-checks; and increased employment in the so-called war industries is likely to be reflictid in increased horire building.

The Western Pine Ar.*i"tion for the week ended June 1, 110 mills reporting, gave orders as 73,006,000 feet, shiprnents 72,072,000 feet, and production 81p22,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end bf the week totaled 246,593,W f.eet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended June 1, 119 mills reporting, gave orders as 27,O24,000 f.eet, shipments 36,001,000 feet, and production 27,442,O00 f.eetOrders on hand at the end of the week totaled 56,203,000 feet. t

Lumber cargo arrivals at Los Angeles Harbor for the week ended June 8 totaled 14,982,W feet as compared with 24,571,000 feet the previous week.

Oh, traveler who has wandered far, Neath Southern sun and Northern starSay where the fairest regions are !

:8*:*

When you read these lines, just remember the set-up. I'm writing this for the eyes of lumber folks in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, together with a lot of good folks in the Middle West. And I'm going to try and reply to that three line rhyme that heads this column, and"say where the fairest regions are"-according to my experiences, and my best beliefs. **rr

For summer is upon us. And summer means vacation season to the majority of business people. Where to go? Where to spend that vacation? That's the question, as Mister Shakespeare said. People who go vacationing seek various things. Some want to travel far and fast, and see as much as possible in the space of time allotted them. Some want to find a spot where they can take it easy, rest, relax, rebuild the nerves and tissues spent by the year's work and worry. That sort usually likes to fish, and prays:

a!. * :8

"Lord, suffer me to catch a fish, so large that even f, When talking of it afterwards, may have no need to lie.,, ***

While others say:

"I'm in the mood for mountains, and a dawn that's swift and keen,

Where wild waters join the music of the wind and evergreen." :f tf tl

Edna St. Vincent Millay voiced the sentiments of a lot of vacationists, when she wrote:

"ft's little I care what's in my heart, What's in my mind, it's little I know; But there's that in me that must up and start, And it's little I care where my feet go.', ***

James Whitcomb Riley wrote of a place he went once, rr/here-

"The sun had on a crown, wrought of gilded thistledown, And a scarf of velvet vapor, and a ravelled rainbow govm,

And his tinsel-tangled hair, tossed and lost upon the air, Was glossier and flossier than any an5rwhere." i.**

And many of us feel this way (I wrote THIS one, myself) :

"Ship me far away from cities Where the u/hispering pines grow tall, And the forest, still primeval, Green and shadowed like a wallRises up and bids me welcomeSeems to smile and bid me welcomeWelcome to the green-leaved hallQui* t Can't you hear it call?" **

"Oh there in the East they dream their dreams, Of the things that they hope to do; And here in the'West, the Golden West, Their vacation dreams come true.,' *t*

Yep. You've guessed it. I'm going to suggest the West. And that covers a whole lot of territory, doesn't it? I suggest it to lumber folks for two reasons. One is, you can find anything in the world that your heart desires in the way of a vacation trip or stopping place, somewhere in the West. And, at the same time, you can find trees and forests galore, and can combine a vacation trip with a visit to scenes you will never forget. Your trip can be both educational and interesting. And wtrat a summer country the whole Pacific Coast'region is ! What an infinite variety of beauty, climate, entertainment it affords the traveler. You can start at San Diego, California, and travel northward to British Columbia, take your choice of broad, smooth, beautiful highways and seldom if ever be confined to a single route, and see wonders every step of the way. ***

San Diego is a favorite resort of many people from the South and East. It is never cold there, and never hot. It isa mild, pleasant country, with natural beauty all about you. Fine hotels, both city and on the wonderful beaches; mountains rearing their heads into the snow behind you; and the cool Pacific inviting you to boat and swim. You can go in a couple of hours to splendid mountain resorts among the summer snows; or drive through

endless orange groves, and beautiful rural homes in the valleys below. As you drive northward from San Diego, every turn of the beautiful, broad highway, brings wonders to the eye. You look down hundreds of feet into bays that furnish a variety of rushing water, emerald here, turquoise there, purple over yonder, as fhe broad highway ttrrns and twists along the shore. You drive through towns nestling along the rocky coasts where artists gather from the entire world, just to sit, and look, and paint, and dream. La Jolla, Laguna, San Juan, and many others in succession. The air from the ocean is always cool. At night it is cold throughout this region. And always back of you are high hills, and mountains, and lovely, colorful homes. You go through whole towns where every building is of the same delightful shade of roof and wall.

In Hollywood there is romance. Beautiful hills on one side; green hills dotted with mansions of marvelous design, on the other. You can get to the cold waters of the beautiful beaches in a few minutes drive. you can get into the snow at Mt. Baldy and other mountain resorts in a single hour's drive. There are the studios, the beautiful homes, and all the amazing sights of that modern miracle that men call Hollywood. Going norfh from here you have a choice of broad highways and beautiful scenery. You can go up the coast, and seldom lose sight of the cold waters of the restless Pacific. Scenic is every foot of the way. No fat country. The sea on one side, the mountains on the other, and wonderful works of man everywhere. Gorgeous hotels and resorts, exquisite homeseverything architecturally attractive. Or you can go up the Valley Route, over the long Ridge into ..The Valtey of the Sunny San Joaquin." It's very warm, this trip. But you can branch off and go into the High Sierra, u/trere it is very cold, and where there are countless lakes and streams along the paved highways, fhat furnish Eshing, camping, riding; sport or restfulness may be had for the asking. Grand pavements everywhere. A three lane highway looks narrow after you've driven for a time in California. Or from this Valley Route you can go over a great hump into marvelous Yosemite Valley and park. you've all read about that. On that route you can take a side trip to see the Big Trees you have read so much about, the giant Redwoods of the High Sierra, which botanists call ..Se, quoia Gigantea." These are NOT the commercial Redwoods, understand. The commercial Redwoods are the "Sequoia Sempervirens," not as large as the ,,Gigantea," but of tremendous size, nevertheless. ***

You see your first commercial timber on the Coast Route going north from Los Angeles to San Francisco. There is a great stand of Redwoods on the Coast hills about two

hours out of San Francisco. There are sawmills in this locality, manufacturing this Redwood into lumber. That is the only commercial timber you will find that far south. On the Coast Route the weather is cool, there are marvelous water resorts in endless succession, and at night it is cold. You go through Santa Barbara, a marvelous resort city, and you can cross the Monterey Peninsula also, one of the scenic wonders and marvelous resorts of the entire West. Wonderful hotels, golf courses, scenic drives. A poet wrote:

Once God looked down upon the earfh, and chose the fairest spot, To make a place of beauty bright, where storms and cold were not. Then children came and flowers grew and life was bright and gay, Where is the place? I thought you knew. They call it "Monterey."

There is a new part to the Coast Highway that is highly spoken of by those who love scenery. But it creeps around the side of a cliff high above the Pacific and the rocks below, and is not recommended to nervous drivers. But every inch of the regular highway between Los Angeles and San Francisco is scenic and lovely. At San Francisco the Fair is going on bigger and better than last year. The two bridges continue to astonish the visitor. And San Francisco is the coolest spot in the entire United States in the summer. Seattle runs her a close second. Going north from San Francisco again you have a wonderful choice of trips. You can go up the famous Redwood Highway into Oregon. From the Redwood forests you go right into the Fir forests. It is all scenic, every inch of the way from San Francisco to Portland. Or you can swing inland. But you'll hate to leave San Francisco. Every view in every direction from the Bay Bridge will take your breath away. You go to Sacramento and then north past Mt. Shasta, the beautiful, and over the Siskiyou Mountains into Oregon. You go rig'ht through California Pine territory on your right, and you can detour through some of the greatest forests left on earth, made up of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine, with many big and impressive mills that manufac-. ture them. Most of these mills are in high altitude. The Pine belt of California runs for three hundred miles north and south in Northeastern California. Perhaps you know that California has more standing timbcr than any other state in the Union except Oregon; much more than Washington. The Redwood industry proper, with all its big mills, lie along the Coast Redwood Highway, already mentioned.

Mills and timber everywhere here. you valleys' every thing you see' rt is very beautiful in oregon drive through Everett and Bellingham and other famo.us and washington in summer' rt rains most of the time in sawmill towns going north to British corumbia. r forgot the winter and gets prettSr dreary to the visitor at that to mention flowers. you'u see more roses in the portland time' but in the summer it is gorgeous' God built the country than you ever dreamed of on earth. land mostly up and down-not flat-in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon is timbered country. There is timber almost all over the State, Fir, Flemlock, Cedar, Spruce, etc., in the Western portion, and Ponderosa Pine in the East. Big mills everywhere. Rivers everyrwhere. Mountains everywhere. Fine, wide, paved hiShways in every direction. The Columbia River, once the Oregon, is one of the most scenic streams in all the world. Words cannot describe it. Cliffs, waterfalls dashing over mountain sides, great trees everywhere. Resorts everywhere. Same way with Washington. Broad paved highways everywhere. Row after row of various mountain ranges looming up as you travel. From the roof of a high building in Portland you can see a sight that will pull at your throat. Peak after peak of white capped mountains, piercing the very skies. Mt. Hood, with its sharp pointed top; Mt. St. Helens, shaped like a perfect ice cream cone; Mt. Baker, high and white, and ponderous; and in the distance Mt. Rainier, the marvelous. The highways go up and down. There are orchards wherever there are not forests. Iti*r.

Ttris, up here, is cool summer country. There are resorts ever5rwhere. All the big mountains have their resort places. Every road to the Pacific leads to water resorts. Fruit grows in profusion in Washington and Oregon, marvelous fruit, apples you never saw the like of ; big, black cherries, each one which makes two big bites; plums and prunes by the mile. Seattle is built on high hills on the water's edge, and is a very, very cool place in summer. It used to tickle me when I'd visit in Seattle. The Sunday papers would advertise: "Take ttre steamer and get away from the heat." All sorts of such ads for resorts, etc. And I was playing golf in my heaviest wool clothes and sweater

British Columbia, meaning the two cities of Victoria and Vancouver, are charming and entrancing. They are built on the water; and the background is mighty mountains. Back of Vancouver are many wonderful mountain peaks. But Vancouver is covered with flowers. They are everywhere. So are sawmills and shingle mills. There are hotels, resorts, and hospitality offered on every hand. You can take gorgeous steamer rides throu(h that scenic country. At the Hotel Vancouver I remember, I saw for the first time one entire menu card with nothing but red raspberries and raspberry dishes on it. You could get raspberries in twenty different shapes and forms on that menu. I never forgot that menu card. Of course, that was long ago, and before I had discovered that the raspberry season in Los Angeles lasts six full months. When I was a kid, the raspberry season was about two weeks. Great wharfs, giant steamers,.huge trees are familiar sights in Vancouver. Once I saw a company of the Royal Mounts ed Police come down the street in Vancouver, every horse the same dark bay color, and in perfect formation. Strange sights in the mills. You will see dexterous Japs in the shingle mills; tall, dignified East Indians with turbans on their heads, working in sawmills.

How do you like the trip, so far?

Palco \(/ool Now lnstalled bv Blower

With over 2O applicators already established in principal markets throughout California, application of Palco Wool by modern blowing machines is rapidly increasing in favor among lumber dealers and home builders, according to Edric E. Brown, Manager, Palco Wool Division of The Pacific Lumber Company.

Made from the durable Redwood bark, Palco 'Wool's insulating properties have long been recognized as outstanding. In addition, it has always been easy to install in ceilings and walls by hand. Now the Palco.Wool blowirg machine brings another advantage, automatic fluffing and conveyance from outside the building to the point of application. The material is fluffed and blown in one operation and economically placed without muss or inconvenience to occupants.

Compact in every respect and light in weight, the complete machine is easily carried and operated by two men. It is reported that the high speed engine will blow the fluffed material through the Flexible Hose to a distance of 100 feet. Experiments show that the finished product is flufied more thoroughly than by any previous hand or mechanical method. With the new blower, applicators have found that they can cover at least 75O square feet of ceiling surface, 4 inches thick, in an hour.

According to Mr' Brown, the applicators buy the Palco Wool from the local lumber yard and quote a completed, installed job, making it easy for the home owner to make a decision. In other words, this is another development in "packaged selling" in the building materials field' According to reports from applicators, several different methods are being used in developing leads and following through to close the sale. In addition to inquiries referred to the applicator as a result of The Pacific Lumber Company's consumer advertising and their own local advertising, some applicators find it practicable to conduct actual door to door canvassing.

Right or Wrong

A lumber sclesnctr quit his iob, rmd ioined the police lorce. A friend csled hirn how he liked his new iob, cmd he scdd, '"V[fell the pcy isr't much, the hours cre long, crnd I get cffiful tired,' but there is one big thing cbout being c cop thcrt crppecrls lo me; TIIE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG."

There's cr lot ol humcm ncture in thcrt story, Next to tipping, the silliest notion ever cdopted by intelligent people in this country is the slogcnr-"The customer is crlwcys right." The wcy I ve got it ligrured cr crook is never right. And every penny cnte picklrocket in the countrl'hcs iaken cdvcrntcge ol thcrt 'tustomer clwcrl's righf'business.

And it clwcys did me good, whenever I hecrd of c ccse.

But there crre literclly millions ol people irr thiB countqr who buy goods in good fcrith, wecr or use them cr while, thea bump up Eotne silly clcrim crgcinst tbe guclity oI the purchcse, crnd tqke it bcrclc loowing thcrt the nerchcrnt must either lose their custom, or subiect to c polite blcckicrcking. It hcppens much less ia the retcril building mcrterial business thcm ia such liaes crs clothing. The lumber business is subiect to mcmy diseqaes, but polite highiqcking is not one oI the serious ones. II cr bocrd goes wrongr or c window frcrme bulges, or c pcnel crccks, thcrt lcrct specrks lor itsell. And it is not ecrsy to clcrirn shortcrges crnd get qway with thern in the retail building ncrtericl gcme.

There is cr better chqnce lor clciming shortcges in carlots of lurnber cnd other wood products. II the customer tcrkes it out ol the ccr cnd then scys the lull onount is not there, his clc"m is likely to be cllowed. But not much petty lcrceny is done thct wcry in these dcrys.

Tcken ag cr whole the business oI distributing lumber crrd building mctericrls is cbout cs honest a garre cs ccn be lound in this business world.

In the old dcys I hcrve known scrwmill men who got rich by clwcys selling iust under the mcrket when it wcrs going up, cmd then withdrcnning entirely when it stcrted down. And I have larown retcrilers who mcde substcnticl lortunes lcrgely with the cid oI shcdy-though never illegcl-prcrctices. The lcct thct I never hecr of such ccrses todcy, proves to me that this is a more reputable cnd high-minded business thcrn it ever wrrs belore. Its ethics crre delinitely betier.

IONDEROSA PINE lumber has been righffully called the most versatile of building productE. The many volume uses for which Ponderosa is the logical choice, make it a great favorite with lumber dealers. It can be, and is used successfully for every building part . joists,

being Etuds, rafters, subflooring, sheathing, roof boards, siding, window frames, door frames, windows, storm sash, screens, in. terior and exterior doors, garage doors, mouldings, doon jambs, trim, cabinet work, and even flooring and ceiling. Because of this universal use Ponderosa Pine admirably serves the reguirements of the lumber dealer in furnishing the needs of his customerg.

Ponderosa dries easily and thoroughty. It also nails, screws, an4 glues well, and is easy to work. Another attribute of Ponderosa Pine is its low shrin}age factor which is practically gO% less than some of the heavier soft woods.

Ponderosa represents a large percentage of the stoclr employed in the lrnocked-down furniture and household eguipment field. And, of course, in the shipping container market Ponderosa furnishes the necesEar5r protection at a low cost. The light weight reduces transportation charges -an important consideration. For paneling in old and new interiorE, Ponderosa Knotty Pine is available in a wide variety of patterns.

It Could Have Been Worse

Old stories always turn up in new costumes, but the idea is the same.

I used to tell the one about Little Mose, who went coon hunting with his father, climbed a high tree to shake the coon off the limb, but fell and was killed. At the funeral an old friend was commiserating with Little Mose's father about the sad accident, and expressing his opinion as to what a tragedy he thought it was.

"Yassuh, you'se right 'bout dat," said the father. "But hit cudda ben wuss."

"How?" asked his friend.

"\f,fell" said the father, philosophically. "I{e cudda fell

Predicts Thoucands of Newly-Weds Will Join Own-A-Home Savings Clubg

The new Own-a-Home Savings Club plan of the U. S. Savings & Loan League, which is being launched by hundreds of building and loan associations in the United States, will enable tens of thousands of newly-weds to build and own their homes, predicts E. W. Morrill, vice-president and general sales manager of the Insulite Co., with headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The main purpose of these new savings clubs is to encourage young married couples to save enough money on a monthly savings plan to make first payments on new homes, and thus render it possible for them to own their own homes.

Any person who can save $10 or more a month is eligible to join a club. It is estimated that it will take a member from 36 to 6O months to save enough to make a first payment on a new home. The building and loan association sponsoring the club is to finance the balance on a long term monthly payment basis.

"This new Own-a-Home Savings Club plan will enable many a young maried couple to save many thousands of dollars it otherwise would lose in later years in the form of rent," said Mr. Morrill today.

"People who pay rent, no matter how low it may be, little realize how many thousands of dollars are spent for rent, over a period of lQ 15 or 20 years.

"For example, rent amounting to only $20 per m,onth, with added interest at six per cent, will, in 15 years' time, amount to $5,586.19. Rent of $30 per month will, on the same basis, total $8"379.D, and. rent of $40 per month, $11,172.38.

"Any of these amounts is big enough to buy a far more pretentious home than the one this family probably has been renting. Thousands of dollars can be saved if a home is bought soon after marriage, on a soundly-financed monthly payment basis.

"The building of tens of thousands of new homes by newly married couples in the near future, as a result of the new Own-a-Home Savings Club plan, will provide extra employment for hundreds of thousands of other young.men and women who now find it difficult to find steady work.

"This, in turn, will be of inestimable benefit not'only to the building industry but to many other industries as well.,,

Any young married couple interested in joining a local Own-a-Home Savings Club may obtain complete information about the plan by getting in immediate touch with the local building and loan association.

BUILT-IN PROTECTION

Built-in protection of the home sub-structure was graph- ically illustrated by two pictures in the pressure-treated lumber display in the lumber and allied industries exhibit at the recent Southern California Home Show in Los An_ geles.

The first picture showed the lumber coming from the treating retorts and the second showed the treated lumber, including the sub floor, actually in service.

War Activity Should lmprove Building19-Yeat Attendance Record Race Declares Dahlberg Ends in Dead Heat

The war situation in Europe and defense measures in this country will probably result in greater building industry activity, Bror Dahlberg, president of The Celotex Corporation, today told branch managers of the company meeting in Chicago.

"On the other hand," he added, "business will be tougher to get. Profit margins are likely to be smaller. Production, distribution and advertising must be made more efficient than ever before. None of us can afford to relax.

"Companies manufacturing basic products need have no fear of diminished business," said Mr. Dahlberg. As an example, he cited the Celotex English plant which has been running at capacity ever since the outbreak of the war.

BACK FROM NORT,HWEST

Roy E. Hills, Wendling-Nathan Co., San Francisco, returned May 30 from spending two weeks in the Pacific Northwest, where he called on the firm's mill connections. He was accompanied on the trip by Mrs. Hills.

When Henry Adams and Frank N. Gibbs, Anaheim retail lumbermen, joined the Kiwanis Club nineteen years ago they were told that "regular attendance at meetings is the first duty of a Kiwanian," they took it seriously. When the Anaheim Club was formed Mr. Adams was its first president.

For almost two decades they carried on the marathon against time and both had a perfect record. If they were unable to attend their own club meeting they would drive to some other city to make up their attendance. During this period there was a friendly rivalry that continued even after they had merged their lumber companies under the name of Gibbs Lumber Company.

A few weeks ago Mr. Adams had to go to the hospital for a minor operation. He thought he would be able to be out before the next club meeting but he couldn't make it and it looked like the race was over, and Mr. Gibbs was the winner.

Mr. Gibbs suddenly decided that a race without competition is no fun. When he found that Mr. Adams would not be able to attend he discovered that "unavoidable business" would make it impossible for him to continue his own perfect attendance record.

So the race was over and ended in a dead heat.

THE SAWMILL REPORTER DOES AN OBITUARY

"I would like to hand in an obituary."

A man whose face wore a look of studied grief stood in the door of The California Lumber Merchant office, and made this statement in a cheery tone of voice. The whole office force looked up, but it was the Sawmill Reporter who replied.

"Has someone passed away?" he inquired. "And if so, who?"

"fle was a machinery man," replied the man at the door, "and I would like to say that for purity of pwpose-"

"Yeah, I know that one," said the Sawmill Reporter. "You were going to say that for purity of purpose, strict fidelity to the principles that ever guide the man of honor, our friend, whose loss we mourn, stood foremost among his business associates. Was that about it?"

"Yes," said the man with the obituary. "It WAS something like that. And I was going to say further, that he was an aff-"

"I know trhat one, too," said the Sawmill Reporter. He was an afrectionate husband, a kind parent, and nowhere will his loss be more keenly felt than in that hallowed spot where human love is ever strongest, human sorrow ever the most poignant-the sacred precincts of the home. Is that about it?"

By this time the visitor with the obituary was hanging on the ropes. "I was certainly thinking of something like that," he said. "But that was not all. In the humb-"

"Sure thing," said the Sawmill Reporter. "I know that one. In the humbler walks of life, where poverty boldly stalks, where crime is found, and where disease marks with its gaunt finger countless victims whose lives would otherwise be bright and joyous, our friend was often to be found, giving freely of the means with which a kind Providence had endowed him. Does that cover it?"

"That's wonderful," said the visitor. "But there is another beautiful thought about him. Now that Death-"

"Yeah. I use that one, too. But now that Death has stilled with his icy breath the heart that such a little time ago was pulsing with aU the vigor of healthy manhood, there is nothing left to us but a pallid tenement of clay, teaching all of us with painful directness the sad lesson that in tfie midst of life we are in Kansas-I mean in Death -and should impress us all with the necessity of being prepared to meet the stern summons that calls us from a life of turmoil and trouble to one where white-robed Peace stretches out her broad wings, where sorrow and strife are

unknown, and where our departed brother now awaits our coming. How is that?"

"That's wonderful," said the visitor.

"By the wa!," said the Sawmill Reporter, "what kind of machinery did he sell?"

"Oil equipment," said the visitor.

"Shucks !" said the Sawmill Reporter. "We can't use that. Take it over to the Oil Journd. And those words won't do, either. They are for folks who sell sawmills. You want something rough."

"Thank you for your courtesy, and good-day," said the visitor.

"Bon Jour," said the Sawmill Reporter. "I don't know what Bon Jour means, but I read it in a book, and it sounds like hot stuff to me."

NOT EXCITED

Jones says he was not the least bit nervous as he waited in the hospital corridor for his first child to be born.

His friend Smith agrees that Jones was wonderfully calm, but admits that he did see him put the lighted end of a cigar in his mouth once or twice.

DISAPPROVES

"Do you approve of tight skirts?"

"Naw, I think women should let liquor alone."

GIVE HIM TIME

Wife: That new couple next door seem very devoted. He kisses her every time they meet. Why don't you do that?

Husband: I don't know her well enough yet.

TANGIBLE MEDIUM

"Papa," gueried the son, "what is the person called who brings you in contact with the spirit world?"

"A bartender, my son," repied the father.

TRY IT SOMETIME

The greatest satisfaction you will find in this tremendously interesting life is when your conscience congratulates you for having made some miserable man happy.

24 THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHA"NT June 15,1940

The Story of'Watern Pines

Portland, Oregon, May 31-In recent years the public schools of America have been devoting more and more time to the study of natural resources and their conversion by great industries into useful products. Teachers, as well as school children, have been clamoring for information about the lumber industry but very little has been available that was really suitable for use in public schools.

To meet this ever-increasing demand, the Western Pine Association has just published a comprehensive little book titled, "The Story of Western Pines." It has been prepared primarily for use in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. This school book will give the younger generation a better understanding of this important natural resource and the part it occupies in American industry. It is written in simple language, is set in large type and is profusely illustrated, for out of 64 pages, there is an equivalent of 42 pages of illustrations. The book is of convenient sizelrlx7/s" with a bright colored cover.

Opening with a historical background of the first White Pine forests, the story moves along to tell of the extensive forests of Western Pines, how forests grow, how forest conservation is practiced, the importance of forest protection, how the forests of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated species are logged and manufactured into lumber, ultimately finding their way into scores of uses in homes, farms, and industrial plants. Also included are some facts concerning the American lumber industry and the increasing importance of the Western Pine region in the national picture. Af the back of the book is a list of general questions, which teachers will find helpful for schoolroom use, and also a description of the Association's three educational sound films.

Although most schools are closed for the summer, or soon will be, the Association is making a concerted effort to acquaint retail lumber dealers and lumbermen generally with this interesting school book so that by early fall they, too, can help in distributing it to their local school officials and teachers. Single copies will be furnished free to lumbermen, school superintendents, principals and teachers by the Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Bldg., Portland, Oregon.

Homes Foundation Features California 'Surf wtng" Home Design

Every month volumes are published on the modern American small home, in the form of books, magazines, and government and building industry publications. This output has been growing steadily since 1934, when the National Housing Act was passed and, the FHA plan of home ownership established. Architects and structural engineers have concentrated on the small home as never before. Home-building materials have been analyzed, tested and subjected to experimentation in the Bureau of Standards, the Forest Products Laboratory, and within projects financed by privately endowed research organizations. Homebuilding standards have been raised a.nd fortified in every department, from lot selection to landscaping, from plans to paint.

"All this has resulted in two basic benefits for the 194O home builder," C. W. Pinkerton, chairman of Southern California Homes Foundation, points out. "First and simplest, small-home design and specifications have been improved immeasurably during the past five yeais, so that a home such as the 'Surfwing,' (List No. A5O5) published this week by SCHF, has far more values than can be illustrated in the floor plan and front elevation. Working plans and specifications have been worked out to utilize standard lengths of lumber and to cover a wide range of selection in building materials, in order to lower building cost and meet individual preferences. These are but two of a number of improved features that might be cited.

"A second benefit is that the prospective home builder can now find reliable up-to-date guidance in every step of home ownership, in government and industry publications prepared for this purpose. Southern California Homes Foundation will send free to any inquirer an informational manual on 'How to Acquire a New Home at Less than a Dollar per Day.' Every progressive retail lumber dealer has a library of similar literature. The U. S. Department of Commerce has issued a 'list of Published Material Relating to Home Building and Maintenance' which may be

had by post-card request to the Department offices at either San Francisco or Los Angeles.

"An example of the publications listed is 'llow to Judge a Home,' which covers numerous points the layman may fail to consider in the process of home owning. Ten cents will secure it from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. 'Light Frame House Construction' is a ZlGpage book with 163 illustrations, a sure money-saver for the family that has a dad or brother who is handy with tools. It may be had from the same source for 4O cents. The list even includes a 'Birdhouse Book.'

"The Federal Housing Administration has published much new material on 194O streamlined home financing. In short, there are publications on every detail of the modern home and how to own one, most of them for the asking, the others to be had at trifling cost."

For information and service on the Surfwing home design, see local retail lumber dealers or write Southern California Homes Foundation, 441 Douglas Building, Los Angeles.

He flew to Los Angeles last Wednesday morning, spent the dav there and was back home for dinner.

June 15, 1940 THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT
OAIILANI}
?t2.

The fellow who builds for long run thrift has a right to be proud . . . to be sitting on top of the wodd.

He didn't let first cost blind him to real value. He knew that cost-per.yeur of service is the true way to figure building costs. That's why he chose d.arable Diamond-H Redwood.

Now he's sitting pretty. He knows that repairs are going to be few and far between . that worries about decay and weathering are.

TOPS r0n THRIFT

for the other fellownot for him . . . that repainting is a long way ofi.

His neighbor the lumber dealer showed him the true way to figure values not how much does it cost today . but what's the cost per year of service.

And how is that dealer's business? He's sitting pretty too. FIe's tops with the builders in his neighborhood because he sells the lumber that's tops forthrift.
