How Lumbcr Looks

As we go to press over 50 logging operations and a number of sawmills, plywood and shingle plants in Washington are still closed due to the loggers' strike.

On June 9 at Olympia, 'Wash., 600 delegates, representing 12,000 striking C. I. O. International Woodworkers of America, voted to recommend rejection of the National Defense Mediation Board's proposal that the strikers return to work at once. The action of the conference will be submitted to the local unions involved.

Lumber production during the week ended May 31, 1941, (containing Decoration Day) was 12 per cent less than in the previous week; shipments were one per cent greater; new business 16 per cent less, according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from regional associations covering the operations of representative hardwood and softwood mills.

During the week ended May 31, 455 mills produced n2]83,W feet of hardwoods and softwoods combined; shipped 253,O57,W feet, and booked orders of. 251,837,ffi feet.

Lumber orders reported for the week ended May 31 by 376 softwood mills totaled 239,6I2,W feet, shipments were 239,248W feet, and production was 21O,U7,000 feet. 95 hardwood mills for the week gave nerl' business as 12,225,000 feet, shipments 13,809,000 feet, and production 11,336,000 feet.

Seattle, Washington, June 10, 1941.-The weekly average

of West Coast lumber production in May (4 weeks) was 153,167,000 board feet, or 96.2 per cent of estimated capacity, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 183,965,000 board feet; shipments, 171,583,000. Weekly averages for April were: production, 171,335,000 board feet (87.0 per cent of the 1926-l9D average) ; ord,ets, 172,863,000 ; shipments, 17 5,O72,m.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 787,z99,ffi board feet at the end of May; gross stocks, at 866,829,ffi.

The volume of West Coast lumber produced during May directly reflects the effect of the closing down, by strike, of some fifty logging operations and a nurnber of medium and large manufacturers. Additional mills, where no labor disturbance exists but where log supplies have been exhausted, have been forced to close, contributing to the effect of the forced discontinuance of production by struck mills.

In the meantime, volume of new business shows an increase over the totals of a month ago, partially due to seasonal trend, rvith weather conditions throughout the West Coast distribution area favorable to general buildirg.

The Western Pine Arro"iution for the week ended May 3I,92 mills reporting, gave orders as 88,151,000 feet, shipments 77,985,W feet, and production 77]4O,W f.eet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 398.483.000 feet.

Saw a picture of a huge lot of wooden posts piled high in Canada. They go to England to be used for various purposes, one of them being supports for air raid shelters. With her normal volume of lumber, timber and other wood products from Scandinavia cut ofi by the war, England has to look to this continent for her timber supply.

Of what has happened to the Scandinavian output of timber products which were formerly shipped to England and other countries, we can only surmise. That they have been commandeered by the invaders is a foregone conclusion. And Scandinavian forests can supply a very large volume of excellent quality timber products, mostly softwoods.

That the sawmills are taking their part in the national defense program seriously is evidenced by the special care they take of the lumber that has been bought in advance by the Government, and which is piled while awaiting shipping orders. All such lumber is well covered, weeds and rubbish are cleated away from beneath and around the piles, and, at many mills special guards and watchmen keep protective eyes on the lumber night and day to see that no one with evil design gets close to it. Wise precautions.

It was remarked i" th; ;t; months ago when the first rush of defense lumber orders swept like a tidal wave over the lumber manufacturing industry, that additional facilities for quickly drying lumber would be in great demand. It has worked that way. Dry kilns are being built and re-built in large numbers throughout the industry. Nat_ urally with most mills straining to produce a ma:imum amount of lumber, to meet the emergency, there has been a "bulge" in every department of sawmilling. Few are

the mills that are not making a lot more lumber than they were a year ago. Which has rneant lots of new equipment, additional housing facilities, and a world of additional working time.

There utas a ti*u *fr"rr*-*, "r*" sawmills were equipped for night-shift operations. That was long ago. During the last few months innumerable sawmills have gone on double and even triple shift operating schedules to get out Government lumber. That required not only a lot more men, but a lot more equipment of numerous kinds. And a lot of special preparation. In the old days they used to claim that a mill built and equipped to run double time, did so at a cost that made single-shift operations uneconomical. They would build the entire plant to handle a double-shift product. Few mills have been built and equipped that way in late years. So, when a lot of mills all over the country decided to put on an extra shift in the past season, they had to do lots of special equipping not previously contemplated.

One of the outstanding phases of the first World War, so far as the lumber industry of this country was concerned, was a tremendous effort to construct wooden ships to replace those the German subs were sinking in such numbers. All along the Gulf Coast timbered areas, and the Coast of the Pacific Northwest, old and new shipyards began hastily constructing wooden freighters. V/e were still building them when the war ended. Official launchings were of frequent occurrence. When the collapse of Germany came, those still under construction were never equipped for operation. A world of wonderful timber went into the construction of those wooden ships, for naturally

Port Orford Cedar

(Algo Lnown ar Whttc Codcr or Lqwron Cy?reu)

only the clearest and strongest wood was used. All mills 'were cutting virgin timber in those days, and the big, clear stuff was easy to get. Those wooden ships did not play much of a part in the war' but they furnished a lot of men employment for some time.

In the Pacific Northwest they were building a lot of large wooden ships when the war ended, that had been ordered by the Australian government. They launched one just before the war ended that was 281 feet long, 48 foot beam, and 4,2(X) dead weight tonnage, that made nearly 12 knots per hour on her trial spin. The end of the war stopped work on others like her.

{<**

When the United States got squared away in its mighty preparations for the first World lVar and the War Industries Board called on organized industry for concerted assistance to help win the war, the retail lumber associations of the country met and organized the Retail Lumbermen's War Service Commission for the sole purpose of helping the Government in its needed relations with the retail lumber industry. The services of this Commission was tendered to the War Industries Board, and gratefully accepted. Its work was in full swing when the war ended. It aimed to keep.the entire retail building material industry in touch with Government requests' orders, etc., that had to do with ordinary building, and this was important work. On various occasions when the Government had a message of importance for the retail lumber and building industry, that message would be sent to all retailers through the Retail Lumbermen's'War Service Commission.

*i.:f

The Commission would pledge itself to see that every retail lumber and building material dealer in the country got the message. Advice regarding building rules and restrictions, priorities, etc., was sent in this fashion, as were notices to the public to be displayed on office walls, pledge cards, etc. Jim Moorehead, of Kansas City; C. C. Harper, of New York, and A. C. Johnson, of Dubuque, Iowa, were the powerful steering committee of the Retail Lumbermen's'War Service Commission when the war suddenly ended. The work and life of the Commission terminated with the war. But it had done some very valuable service to the Government in time of need.

Annual Meeting, Board of Directors, NRLDA

"Lumber and building material dealers have played and continue to play a significant part in housing development, and upon them rests the responsibility of bringing to each local community the facilities {or making home owning possible for all our people. This is a responsibility that has been heightened as the nation is engaged in a gigantic effort to mobilize its industrial and economic resources to defend the American way.

"The progressive dealers in every communitv afford the only possible and efficient channel through which the building industry can operate by reason of the necessary local services that are part and parcel of the economic process of providing comfortable shelter for the provident among the nation's suburban and country population."

Washington, D. C., May 23, l94l-Carl Blackstock, president of the Blackstock lumber Company, Seattle, Washington, was elected president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association of the annual meeting of that organization in Washington, May 14, 15, and 16.

Mr. Blackstock succeeded R. S. Finkbine, of the Wisconsin Lumber Company, Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. Finkbine was highly commended by the industry for the splendid job he had done during his two years' incumbency, and was presented a handsome sterling silver candelabra and bowl set as evidence of the appreciation and esteem of the industry.

Other officers elected were John Alexander, Jr., of the Alexander Lumber Company, Aurora, Illinois, vice-president; G. W. LaPointe, Jr., O. & N. Lumber Company, Menomonie, Wisconsin, treasurer (re-elected); and H. R. Northup, secretary-manager (re-elected).

Members of the new Executive Committee are: S. D. Baldwin, Baldwin Lumber-Junction Milling, Jersey City, New Jersey; Fred R. Stair, Farragut Lumber Company, Knoxville, Tennessee; R. S. Finkbine, Des Moines, fowa; S. L. Forrest, Forrest Lumber Company, Lamesa, Texas; Carl Blackstock, Seattle, Washington; W. W. Anderson, Anderson Lumber Company, Ogden, Utah; F. Dean prescott, Valley Lumber Company, Fresno, California; John Alexander, Jr., Aurora Illinois and G. W. Lapointe, Jr., Menomonie, Wisconsin.

Incoming President Blackstock, sounding the keynote of the meeting pointed out:

"The lumber and building material dealer is facing and discharging his responsibility as the economic kevstone of the home building industry. ft was only a few short years ago that a small home was a dream that could not be realized by the vast majority of our people. Today the retail lumber dealer in all communities is in a position to provide low cost housing of a type within the reach of a vast majority of our people.

The Directors and dealers present at this meeting,---one of the most important held by the retailers in recent years -.discussed specifically questions coming under the heads of Governmental Relations; Trade Promotion and Public Relations.

Among the important questions discussed u-ere Wage- Hour legislation; National Housing Act amendments; National Defense, and Anti-Trust actions.

It was reported that within the next n'eek, the WageHour Administrator will release a new Interpretative Bulletin No. 6, dealing with Retail and Service Establishments, which is purported to be the final set of rulings and regulations with respect to retail groups in general. The Association plans to analyze this Bulletin and release to the retail lumber industrv as a u'hole an explanation of the status of dealers under the new regulations.

The directors discussed the continued desire of the retail lumber industry as a whole to cooperate and coordinate its services in the most effective way to assist in defense projects of every nature. Paul S. Collier, secretary of the Merchandising Institute, made a comprehensive report on the training of retail lumber leaders and their employees in more effective selling methods. Don A. Campbell, chairman of the Home Magazine Publication Committee, reported on the progress of the dealer-consumer publication, "Home," pointing out that some three million copies of this magazine have been distributed to prospective home owners in the 48 states during the past year.

A report rn'as made on the program of the National Homes Foundation, an organization of some 60 building materials and equipment manufactnrers' groups set up for the purpose of stimulating farm and rural housing, and for purposes of cooperation with federal agencies concerned with home building and home financing.

ft was reported that H. R. Northup, secretary of the National Association, had been contributing his time as executive secretary of the National Homes Foundation, and that within the next several weeks there will be released to deal-

ers nationally through the State Homes Foundations, organized in many areas, and through state and regional dealers' associations, promotion literature prepared by the Federal Government agencies and by the National Homes Foundation. This program is designed to be a cooperative program between the manufacturers and distributors of building materials, and the educational agencies of the Federal Government.

of the Repair and Remodeling Market

In a striking double page spread appearing in the leading contractor and lumber publications for June, Weyerhaeuser calls attention to the rewards to those who cultivate the rich repair and remodeling market.

It is pointed out that for every new house which is built, there are many repair and remodeling jobs, and that this type of work is less competitive and carries a greater margin of profit. Furthermore, there are smaller peaks and valleys in the repair and remodeling business than in the new construction field. In prosperous times it pays the builder and lumber dealer to cultivate this market, which will be so important in the years which lie ahead.

Bill Smith and his wife may still hesitate about building a home of their own, but they are easily sold on fixing up their present home,-building a new back porch, laying a new floor in the kitchen, adding a garage or maybe streamlining the old house outside and in.

The necessary ABC financing for this work is conveniently provided through the lumber dealer. Weyerhaeuser is making it as easy for the customer to fix up his home as it is to purchase an automobile, a radio or an electric refrigerator.

The caption of the ad tells the story,-"Weyerhaeuser Helps You Sell the Billion Dollar Repair & Remodeling Market." under a subhead, "An Authoritative Forecast," appear statements of prominent publishers, with estimates as to the amount of the repair and remodeling business which will be offered in their field during 1941.

r,a"-o",1iDn111.1I31""J1--,,,".

The directors and dealers discussed the necessity for a Public Relations Program to effectively bring befcre the American people the important part played by the retail lumber industry in large and small cities.

The Association passed a resolution commending the National Lumber Manufacturers Association for its proposed Public Relations Program, and urged upon the building industry as a whole the necessity for an affirmative presentation of the tremendous contribution that has been made in recent years to American welfare by the building industry.

In opening the meetings, retiring President Finkbine paid high tribute to the late Frank Carnahan, past secretary of the Association, and the meeting passed a memorial resolution.

An interesting program was arranged for the ladies attending the meeting. Mrs. H. R. Northup, wife of the Association's secretary-manager, acted as hostess.

In a detailed report Secretary-Manager H. R. Northup said the Association's activities during the past six months have fallen into two catagories: First, government relations, and second, trade promotion.

IJnder governmental relations, Mr. Northup discussed National Defense, government housing bureaus, utilization of planing mill capacity of the retail industry, transportation, and wage-hour activities. Among the new activities that are ahead of the Association this year regarding gov-

Home Building Increases in May

The Federal Housing Administration today reported an increase in the weekly average of construction of small homes financed through FHA insured mortgages. The average was 48O6 a week during May, compared with 4550 during April and 3992 daring May, 194O.

The agency received 3I,741 small home mortgage insurance applications involving $L47,478,327 during May, which was a decline of. 747 applications and $3,405,868 from the record established in April.

The Federal Home Loan Bank Board reported, meanwhile, that urban home financing during April aggregated 139,525 mortgages amounting to $398,305,000, an increase of 17 per cent over April of last year.

ernmental relations, he named: anti-trust actions, price control, wage increases, Association supervision, taxes, etc.

Under the second feature of the broad program he mentioned, namely, "trade promotion." He discussed sales training, consumer contacts, and National Homes Foundation.

In concluding Mr. Northup said: "As f see it, it is our job, yours as directors and mine as secretary, to show the retail dealers everywhere that the National, State and Regional Associations are serving them every day of the year, and that organized indristry action is the only real 'business insurance' available to the individual dealer today."

THE DUSTY ROAD

By John Masefield

Dunno a heap about the what and whY, Can't say's I ever knowed.

Heaven to me's a fair blue stretch of sky, Earth's jest a dusty road.

Dunno the names o'things, or what they are, Can't say's I ever will.

Dunno 'bout God-He's jest the noddin' star Atop the sandy hill.

Dunno 'bout life-it's jest a tramp alone, From wakin'-time to doss.

Dunno'bout Death-it's jest a quiet stone All over-gray wi' moss.

An' where I live, an'why the old world spins Are things I never knowed. My mark's the gypsy fires, the lonely inns, An' jest the dusty road.

Fir Door Institute's Annual Meeting Red Devil Buys Chicaso Roller Stippler Co.

A manufacturer of door hardware and a large lumber distributor were among the speakers who addressed the recent annual meeting of Fir Door Institute members at Tacoma, Washington, as they reviewed accomplishments for the year, re-named officers and laid plans for an expanded promotional program.

Officers of the industry-wide organization representing Douglas fir door manufacturers are: president, J. F. Simpson, vice-president of Buffelen Lumber and Manufacturing Co.; vice-president, H. E. Tenzler, president of Northwest Door Co.; treasurer, N. O. Cruver, general manager of Wheeler Osgood Sales Corp.; secretary, C. T. Eckstrom, manag'er of Monarch Door Company. All are of Tacoma.

E. A. "Doc" Woods, vice-president, George C. \raughn & Son Co.. Houston, Texas, told the door men of the market for fir doors and other fir products in the ter-ritory his distributing firm serves.

In discussing future promotional trends, Dave C. Crawford, factory manager of Crawford Door Company, Detroit, Michigan, announced an intensified advertising and sales program is intended for the Craw-Fir-l)or, overhead type garage door for which his firm manufactures hardlvare. Crarvford pointed this even greater activity will be directed toward key markets.

He also reported on a series of tests, which proved the durability of the Craw-Fir-Dor, completed recentlv by the engineering department at Purdue University.

Most of the meeting r\ras devoted to preparing plans for an even more aggressive advertising program for Douglas fir stock doors, Tru-Fit entrance doors, the CrawFir-Dor and other fir millwork. Charles E. Devlin, director of publicity for the institute, directed much of this discussion.

Five field representatives of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association gave the assembly of fir door men sales tips on better methods of merchandising in their respective territories. These men are Dave S. Betcone of Chicago, Harry Steidle of Washington, D.C., A. C. Sherman of New York, Joe Weston of El Monte, California, and J. D. Long of Fredonia, Kansas.

"Pauf Bunyan's" 1941 Logging Program

The logging program of The Red River Lumber Company, Westwood, Calif', f.or l94l provides for the delivery of 185 million feet of logs to the plant at Westwood.

From the Humbug-Almanor-Butt Valley area will come 5O million feet. These logs will run 33 per cent Ponderosa Pine, 55 per cent Sugar Pine and 12 pet cent fncense Cedar and Douglas Fir. This is a very rough mountain terrain at altitudes from 4,500 to 6,000 feet. Legs are moved by tractor from the stump to the truck loading landings and are hauled by Company trucks, on private road, an ayerage of 7 miles to The Red River Lumber Company's railroad at a point 33 miles southwest of Westwood. This railroad with a maximum adverse grade of Z per cent is electrified Lor 17 miles and 16 miles arc oper: ated by steam locomotives.

From the Moonlight-Light's Creek tracts will come 135 million feet that will run 75 pet cent Ponderosa Pine, 16l per cent Sugar Pine and 8l pet cent Incense Cedar and Douglas Fir. This is also a region of rough mountain slopes with altitudes from 5,000 to 6,24O feet-

To tap this area the Company has built 28 miles of private main road and 3 miles of branches. The main road has a Z4-f.oot roadbed with lGinch gravel ballast. Its maximum adverse grade is 3 per cent.

The transportation from Moonlight-Light's Creek will be by truck. A new fleet of Z2 General Motors Diesel trucks has been purchased by the Company and is being placed in operation on this haul. Loading is done by two Osgood loaders which travel the road on rubber tired wheels picking up logs with a swinging boom where they are delivered at the roadside by tractors without the necessity of fixed landings.

Deliveries by truck and rail are made to the log pond of the Westwood plant at an altitude of 5080 feet.

To maintain trucks and motorized equipment a large shop is operated by the Company at Westwood supplemented by field mechanics with tool trucks for emergency repairs and routine maintenance of tractors on the job. Maintenance cars also rtake emergency repairs on trucks on the road and trucks get into the shop each day for servicing. The maintenance of tires is a specialized job as each of the General Motors Diesel trucks with its Willamette trailer runs on 18 tlxZ2 inch tires. 'Water trucks and graders keep up the roadbed and bulldozers grade the branches and trails.

Trucks on the Moonlight-Light's creek run can be operated two 8-hour shifts per day and this requires electric lighted loading during hours of darkness provided by trucks equipped with generators and lights.

The logging program is based on plant production of

Proceedings of Fifth Redwood Logsing Conference

May 23-24, l94l-Fort Brcrgg, Ccrlilornicr

By Prof. Emcnuel Fritz Consulting Forester, Cclifornic Bedwood Associqtion

The Fifth Redwood Logging Conference started off with a field trip to the Ten Mile River property of the Union Lumber Company. A flat car had been arranged with benches and was taken to the woods by a locomotive as a special train. A previously arranged schedule to visit Fred Ball's operation on Buckhorn Creek on the Little North Fork, and James Roherts' landing on the main North Fork with lunch at Camp 2 in between, was adhered to with ample time at all stops. The party, about 60, was transported by trucks from the rail head to the truck-loading landings. E. L. Green and Russell Johnson had the details well rvorked out. Mr. Johnson, in addition, had prepared a sheet of notes descriptive of the operations for distribution among the visitors. The company's side bosses, chopping bosses and logging superintendent were on hand to answer questions. This is a tractor-truck-railroad operation, to produce about 85MM feet in 1941. No further extension of the railroad is contemplated, the logs being transported to the rail head by trucks. No steam is used in yarding, all of it being by tractors and diesel yarders for several years. Centralized peeling is in prospect early this summer.

An unexpected visitor on the field trip was Truman Collins, president, Pacific Logging Congress, who has made it a point this year to visit all the regional conferences. Mr. Collins spoke briefly at the Camp 2 lunch and credited the Redwood region with having originated the regional conferences to supplement the annual Pacific Logging Congress.

Annual Dinner

Seventy-seven were seated at the dinner May 23, at

Hotel Windsor in Fort Bragg. William Lawson, logging superintendent, IJnion Lumber Company. was toastmaster. The occasion was used to revive some of the dramatic history of lumbering on the Mendocino Coast. C. E. DeCamp, Caspar Lumber Company, came up from San Francisco with a well prepared and very interesting paper recalling some of the problems of the early-days loggers. His talk was followed by brief remarks by Dana Gray, Clarence Broback, Otis Johnson, George Cornwall and others. When the conference was invited to Fort Bragg an abalone dinner was promised. Dana Grav and Howard Gray more than made good on the promise, having arranged for baked abatone, a form new to most of the guests.

Discussion Session

Saturday, Mav 24, the announced program was followed. K. B. McGuire, Caspar Lumber Company logging superintendent was chairman, stimulating discussion with well placed questions. fnterest was pretty lively, especially on bark peeling, felling breakage and log scaling and grading, indicating these to be topics of major importance.

Centralized Peeling-The discussion was predicated on the inability to market the bark and that, therefore, it must be burned. While there was no unanimity in favor of centralized peeling, it was apparently the general opinion that if centralized peeling costs no less than the traditional peeling "at the stump" there were hidden benfits that were worth money; among those given were less loss due to checking; less bruising during yarding and loading; less debris; fewer accidents to peelers; lower fire hazard; less damage to logs in case of fire; and cleaner logs for the sawmill, with reduced danger to band saws. There was much interest in the effect on trucking costs of hauling with the bark on. Mr. Hess discussed the probable effect on both weight and log diameters for hauling on private and public roads, for long and short hauls. Near the close of the discussion of peeling, and at the suggestion of Otis R. Johnson, the chairman instructed Professor E.

Prol. Encnuel Fritz

Fritz to solicit further information on peeling during the summer and submit it to the operators.

Falling Breakage-This subject was high lighted by a description of an extensive experiment by Hammond Redwood Company, to determine the benefit from using a bulldozer for preparing layouts. Gray Evans, in charge of the study, stated a bulldozer serves six sets of fallers. The study indicates that for the tract being cut, the extra effort is well repaid by much lessened breakage. fndications are thtrt about 15% more of timber will be saved according to Mr. Evans. This study is not yet completed.

George Allen and Chairman McGuire described how they were reducing breakage of valuable leaners by pulling them over against the lean with the help of a tractor. A line is placed around the tree by a climber, and the rope end is left hanging loose. When a Cat is available, the line is pulled tight around a stump until the tree is plumb, the line being then made fast. When the fallers return they proceed to fall the.tree in the usual way.

Considerable interest was evidenced in reducing breakage and it was pointed out that a higher realizatior'. is obtained per tree and per acre and that debris was reduced. The reduction it was indicated also has the effect of reducing the necessary area to be logged in the course of a year by an amount equivalent to the total timber saved.

Scaling and Log Grading-This topic was programmed because it shows promise of assuming some importance as gyppo logging becomes more common and as selective logging is based more directly on tree value. Since Redwood scaling takes account of defects only by deducting a stated percentage based on experience, the Pine region method of handling defects was introduced for discussion and for its applicability to Redwood. Chester Nicholls, Hammond Redwood Company, who had scaled both Pine and Redwood by this method for the Government, described the scheme by blackboard sketches. He pointed out that Redwood defects are more difficult to aopraise and that the scaler must spend as much time as possible at the sawmill to see how the defects are cut out. In 6MM feet of Redwood scaled for the Indian service, the mill tally overran his log scale by only 4/o.

Log grading was described by Roy Wagner, U. S. Forest Service, who carried the subject on into tree grades and to selection cutting for timber depletion credit on income tax returns. Frank Solinsky III, described a smallscale log grading study he made in timber near Westport

in l9,lo. Log grades were established on a basis of the amount of surface-clear length on the four sides of a log. This amount was converted to a percentage of the total possible clear length and this percentage used to establish the log grade. The system is being used this year in grading logs for sale, probably the first time this has been attempted in the Redwoods. Log grading it was pointed out will indicate which trees are not profitable to cut.

Selective Logging-The system of tree selection used by the Union Lumber Companv was described by Russell Johnson. Diameter limit is 2( insid,e bark on the stump. The importance of making an effort to protect reserve trees against damage by tractors and slash fires was pointed out by Emanuel Fritz in discussing the quantity and quality of lumber produced by such trees after liberation. A log section and several boards from trees left by early loggers on the Caspar Lumber Company property were exhibited. They were milled at Caspar and showed that growth after liberation is more rapid and likely to be free from knots if the trees are selected for good form and are not damaged. From the experimental trees tle knot-free lumber totaled 52.5%.

Power Saws-Because power saws are not used in Mendocino County this topic elicited much interest. Chain saws were inquired into as well as a lighter drag saw developed by Hammond Redwood Company, and described by Gray Evans. The frame and cylinder were made of aluminum, taking 5O pounds off the weight.

Fire Weather Forecasting-Unfortunately, Leslie Gray of the U. S. Weather Bureau was detained by official business, so this subject was discussed informally. Importance of forecasts of impending fire weather was noted and arrangements were made with the State Rangers present for the dissemination of the information as it is received from the Weather Bureau. The rangeis will also cooperate in forwarding data from private observers to the Bureau.

Slash DisposalThe Hammond Redwood Company, having undertaken a 20Gacre slash burning experi'ment in late 194O, Chester O. Nicholls was called on to describe it. After the slash was so well wetted down by fall rains that it would not support a running fire, the heaviest piles, still dry beneath, were fired along the ridges. Then piles lower down the slopes were set off until the gulch bottoms were reached. When, after some drying out, the lighter piles would burn, they too were touched off. A clean burn was obtained with fewer trees scorched.

Douglas Fir Plywood Association Holds Annual Convention at Tacoma

It was a visual presentation with short, punch-carrying talks seemingly designed only to expand the facts given on panels and maps which made up part of the properties for the stage setting.

That was the way the story of plywood activities during the past year and plans for the future were told to 250 plywood manufacturers and their salesmen at the two-day annual convention and sales clinic held recently at Tacoma, Washington, by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

"Douglas fir plywood now is an adult among building materials," said W. E. Difford, managing director of the Association. And the show-the presentation was just that-proved conclusively his statement.

Actually, the annual meeting was held one day and the sales clinic the second day as two separate undertakings although both were staged at the Crystal Ballroom of Winthrop Hotel at Tacoma. However, because almost all of the first day was given over to a study of the qualities and uses for plywood, the second session seemed almost a continuation of the facts discussed previously. Perhaps the only semblance of the ordinary trade as-

sociation annual meeting that prevailed when the plywood men got together was the election of officers during opening minutes of the session.

Most officers, including E. W. Daniels, president of the Association, and president of Harbor Plywood Corp., Hoquiam,'Wash., were re-elected. Mr. Daniels, who has been an official of the Harbor firm since its formation in 1929 and who was interested in plywood even prior to that time, has served one year as head of the industry-wide organization.

Other Association officers reelected are: secretary, Herman Tenzler, president of Northwest Door Co. at Tacoma, and treasurer, Bruce Clark, vice-president of Elliott Bay Mill Co., Seattle. Morris Sekstrom, president of Olympia Veneer Co., was named vice-president of the Association to succeed E. Q. 'Walton, vice-president of Oregon-Washington Plywood Co., Everett, Wash.

Trustees of the all-industry board are: J. R. Robinson, president of Robinson Manufacturing Co., Everett; E. E. Westman, president of Washington Veneer Co., Olympia, and Thomas B. Malarkey of M & M Wood Working Co., Portland, Ore.

Review of activities and accomplishments of the plywood association during the past year was accomplished in short order. A three by five-foot book was rolled on the stage, and on its pages were charts, tables and facts dealing with each aspect of the plywood promotional-researchinspection program for 194O. While the leaves were turn-

ed, Mr. Difford expanded or commented on these facts.

He explained, "We jealously guard the Douglas fir plyrvood grade-trade marks because the consumers rely upon these stamps to assure them quality and uniform material in each of the several grades designed for different uses."

With the removal of the "book of the year" the managing director commented, "Our show from here on will take on a different aspect and will point out where .we are going." Attention then rvas directed to an eight by eight- foot map of the United States shou'ing distribution of plywood by states. By switching lights in each state, relative sales of each of the several grades \Mere shown.

During the remainder of ihe annual meeting and the subsequent sales clinic, Difford dwelt primarily with current and future market conditions.

He cautioned, "Plylvood manufacturers face peculiar problems as the result of doubled production capacity of the industry, possible increasing costs, disrupted normal market conditions and the probable future business slump in building which is expected to be accompanied by increased inter-industrial competition."

Ifowever, he outlined a five-point promotional program of the Association destined to bring even greater. demand for Douglas fir plywood, which today does more building jobs than any other single material. Here are the factors:

1. Expanded research and engineering projects to pro-

vide ever increasing technical data on the qualities of fir plywood.

2. Expand the farm market, which this year was tapped by the plywood industry for the first time. (Farm building is to reach a half. billion dollar mark this year.)

3. Increase use of exterior (waterproof) type fir plywood in marine construction. (More than 100,000 small boats have been built of plywood; the waterproof panels are being used for bulkheads and cabins in luxurious yachts.)

4. Bolster commercial use of plywood by railroads, tobacco companies and other industries. (Thousands of freight cars are lined with plywood; one tobacco company is using 25 million square feet of the panels for curing barrels.)

5. Foster prefabrication of houses built of plywood. (The prefabrication of houses represents the nation,s fastest growtng industry. More than two-thirds of these house "manufacturers" rely upon plywood as the basic building material.)

The Association manager explained that one of the forward-looking undertakings of the plywood industry at this time is its cooperation with the National Homes Foundation in promoting better housing in villages and on farms. This foundation, which is supported jointly by industry and government agencies, has drawn eight basic house plans for modern, usable rural and city homes for various parts of the nation.

The Plywood Association has made adaptations from the basic plans for all-plywood houses and is distributing these "key plans" which show prospective builders the floor plans and appearance of these plywood homes. Detailed working drawings are obtained through lumber dealers.

Perhaps the secret of success of the all-business convention was the introduction of the five field men of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association with each man relating diff'erent phases of the promotional work in the field. Their parts in the program were staged in a question and answer series with Mr. Difford.

First field man called upon was A. C. Sherman, Northeastern representative stationed at Ner,v York for the Association. He told of the activities undertaken to aid lumber dealers promote plywood sales and become familiar with proper usage of plywood.

Joe Weston, Southwest representative for the Association at El Monte, Calif., gave a demonstration of the strength and other qualities of the material. Harry Steidle, Eastern representative at Washington, D.C., explained the part plywood is playing as our government makes this

Doors and \(indows Give Attics a Future Home Show at Los Angeles Featured a Great Variety of DisplaYs

Significant of the great interest in home building, thousands attended the Home and Flower Show, sponsored by the Building Contractors Association, at the Pan-Pacific auditorium, Los Aigeles, from June 6 to June 15. The 100,000 square feet of the auditorium was transformed into a veritable garden by thousands of flowers, plants and trees.

The model home, "The Californian," built of Redwood siding and a tile roof,was an outstanding feature of the exposition. The five-room bungalow, which has two bedrooms, was designed to appeal to families of moderate circumstances' The flooi plan covers 1200 square feet and is a combination of the structural ideas of a half dozen prominent architects and contractors. The home is completely furnished in 18th century style, and with every conceivable modern household accessory.

Interest in doors and windows-their proper selection and use in the home-is being stimulated by "Ponderosa Pine Woodwork" through advertisements illustrated by photographs and isometric drawings like the one shown above. The story that goes with this picture tells how to plan an "attic with a future." It is recommended that fullsized windows, storage closets protected against dust by properly fitted doors, and storage areas separated from the rest of the attic space by partitions and doors-all be included when the house is built. The local lumber dealer is referred to as a source of helpful information and active assistance in all advertising and literature.

CALLS ON PLYWOOD MILLS

W. F. (Bill) Fahs, manager, California Plywood & Veneer Co., Los Angeles, returned June 5 from a 10-day business trip to the Northwest where he called on a number of plywood manufacturers, visiting Portland, Tacoma, Aberdeen, Seattle and Everett. He made the trip by the air route and spent a day in San Francisco on the way back.

This year, for the first time, the Southern California Horticultural Institute joined with the building contractors in presenting the biggest summer flower show ever held in I-os Angeles.

fh.r" were ten days of competition under direction of the horticultural institute, in which many of the leading professional and amateur flower arrangers in the Southland participated. Opal Scarborough, secretary-manager of the Institute, outlined a competitive schedule which included events for all principal garden clubs, the women's auxiliary of the Builders "ttd Contractors' Association, and a "no handicap" flower arrangements sweepstakes for men only.

The variety of displays represented every item that goes into the making of a home and garden' The following firms participated in the Lumber Exhibit: Consolidated Lumber Co-p"ty, C. Ganahl Lumber Company, Hammond Lumber Cornpany, Kerckhoff-Cuzner Mill & Lumber Co', Lounsberry & Harris, Owens-Parks Lumber Co., Patten-Blinn Lumber Co'' San Pedro Lumber Co., E. J' Stanton & Son, Sun Lumber Company, E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Woodhead Lumber Company, American Lumber & Treating Co', Roll-O-Seal Windows, Western Pine Association, California Redwood Association, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and Red Cedar Shingle Bureau.

Among the other firms having exhibits were: American Lumber & Treating Co., J. H. Baxter & Co., CadwalladerGibson Co., Inc., Duplex Incorporated, A. J. Koll Planing Mill Ltd., I-ong-Bell Lumber Co., and West Coast Screen Co'

nation "the arsenal for democracy.,' Mr. Steidle explained that there are ffi major governmental agencies buying for Uncle Sam; plvrvood has gone into 4,000 assault boats.

fmportance of the prefabrication industry was related by Dave S. Betcone, Midwest representative at Chicago, as he told that there now are 45 firms each prefabricating from a few to as many as 300 houses a month. He pointed out that 31 of the manufacturers use an average of S,50O feet of plywood for inside and outside walls, sheathing and subflooring.

J. D. Long, agricultural representative at Fredonia, Kansas, for the plywood industry, told of the experimental work being done with plywood in construction of various farm buildings.

At the sales clinic the following day, these field men were recalled to expand their statements and to emphasize to the attending salesmen promotional possibilities they have found. Three other men also were brought before the clinic. They are: Dr. Don Brouse, engineer for the Forest Products Laboratory, Madiso.n, Wis.; N. S. Perkins, chief engineer for the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, and Charles E. Devlin, director of publicity for the Association.

Dr. Brouse told of the experimental work being done at his laboratory on plywood glues and binders and on the peeling of hemlock. These latter studies, which started nearly a year ago, are made possible partly by financial aid given by the plywood industry.

L. M. Hamman (seated) was elected president of the Arizona Retail Lumber and Builders Supply Association, Inc., at the annual convention held at the Monte Vista Hotel, Flagstaff, on May 23-24. Mr. Hamman is one of Arizona's prominent retail lumbermen and is president of the Hamman-McFarland Lumber Co. of phoenix. Chris Totten of Phoenix (standing) was reelected secretarymanager of the Association. Other officers elected were: Albert Stacey, Bassett Lumber Company, Douglas, first vice-president; Jay Gates, Central Commercial Company, Kingman, second vice-president, and Clara Fenchurch, Phoenix, assistant secretary.

Mr. Perkins carried to the salesmen technical information about acoustical, insulation and vapor barrier qualities of plywood. Mr. Devlin, in turn, explained that the basic advertising policy of the plywood industry is to "show how" the material can be used to build better buildings. He stressed also that the Association has all kinds of literature and mailing pieces available for dealers.

Theme of the two-day session was work. But it was a fast-moving affair with all talks clipped short and giving straight-from-the-shoulder factual information. Only intermission was an evening cruise on Puget Sound after the first day session. About I75 men boarded the chartered steamer Sightseer for a two-hour cruise up the sound, a shore dinner and return to Tacoma.

13-year Old Girl Writes Prize Winning Essay on Lumber Business

Eva Lammers, age 13, winner of a 4-H marketing essay contest with an article on the lumber business, is just one of the thousands of boys and girls who are finding new outlets for their energies and imaginations in 4-H Club work.

The work of this organization, and particularly of 4-H Builders' groups-boys and girls learning horv and where and why to use wood in home and farm construction-is of very real importance to lumber dealers. Competitions such as that won by Eva Lammers would stimulate interest in dealers' products in any community.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has for some years cooperated with 4-H groups and 4H leaders as they iralre with school children and school teachers, by supplying information about the forests of the Pacific Northwest, ani about the selling of forest products through retail lumber dealers. In this program of educational material, the Association has just published "sawdust Trails," a students' digest of logging and lumber manufacture in the Douglas fir region.

Eva Lammers' essay indicates the informed interest these young citizens have in their country's resources and industries. It follows:

..FROM FIR TO FLOORING' r

By Eva Lammers

Lumbering is the chief industry of the Northwest' From the time a fir tree stands in all its majesty on some mountain slope until it is sold to the consumer as satin-smooth flooring, the processes it goes through are most interesting' Firsi an experienced man goes through a tract of timber and marks the trees ihat are ready to be made into lumber. A tree chosen for its location and size is saved to make into a t'sPaf tree."

Tllen follow the "fallers." They cut a notch in a tree to insure the direction of its fall. The fallers cut on the side opposite the undercut with a double-toothed saw' They arive weages in the cut from time to time to keep the tree's weight from pinching the saw. When the tree is felled, the

"$16fts15" follow and cut it into suitable log lengths. Then comes the "high rigger." His job is to climb the "spar tree" mentioned above, and to top it about a hundred and twenty feet from the ground and strip it of' all its limbs. This is for the purpose of attaching blocks and cables to it, to bring the logs in from the u'oods (caterpillars are also used for this purPose).

Follow A Log

Now we leave the tree and follow one of the twentyfoot logs. The "choker setter" puts a cable around one end of it and hooks it to the line leacling to the tree prepared by the "high rigger." By means of this line, it is pulled from the woods (by " machine called a "donkey") io the loading deck, located near a logging road and loaded on a truck or logging car which hauls it to the sawmill' At the sawmill it is dumped into the pond and the "pond monkey" takes it to the log well, which is equipped with chains that lift it to the log deck where it is placed on the carriage which slides back and forth beneath the band saw' The "dogger" operates the hooks that hold the log on the

Evcr Lcmmeis, winner ol il-H rncrkeiing esscy coIrtest'

carriage. Then it goes to the sawyer who removes the barky slabs and the first cuts, which are usually used for wood. The remainder is then carried to the edgerman. He cuts the cants into smaller ones, about four inches wide.

The trim saw man cuts it into convenient handling lengths and the resaw man cuts it into the desired widths and thicknesses.

From there it is sent to the kilns, where it is dried by steam.

After this it goes to the planer, where it is planed, tonguedand grooved.

The end trimmer trims it into the proper flooring lengths and the dry chains (more revolving rollers) take it to the market where it is graded according to its grain and freedom ftom knots and blemishes. There are several different grades of fooring, 8., C. and D. vertical grain (the vertical grains are the best grade) and B., C. and D. flat grain (these are the lorver grades). The marker can tell at a glance under which classification a board falls.

Having been graded, the boards are put into bundles of six and tied.

So from natural beauty to manufactured beauty we have followed this tree where we leave it to its usefulness.

A big log gets a shower bath on its way into the Hammond Samoa mill. Clean logs speed up operations of the headrig, make it easier to cut for best grade and sizes. Pebbles imbedded in surface of log would slow down cutting, might break saw. Flence every log at Hammond's ges a shower and a "rub-down" as it leaves the pond.

For 19 years'William Mumay's keen eyes have been sizing up the big fellows as they come up to rhe saw carriage. He's been sawyer at the Samoa plant almost rwo decades. With Hammond thirty years in this and other jobs. His experience, and expert cutting play big parts in maintaining the Hammond quality standard.
