Timber Construction Regulations Eased

Approval of construction projects bv the \\Iar Production Board is based on the Controllerl Nlaterials Plan, and is provided for under CMP Reg. 6. Appror.al of a project is nou' based on relative necessity :rncl rloes not involve, specifical1y, the material used.

W00D Adds lnsuloting Volue; another good reason for using wood

Postwar construction will involve a lot oI refrigeration work. That means insulation, and wood adds to its efticiency. Prolit by this trend by recommen&ng that insulation be housed in wood.

Of course, the wood must be protected against ever-present decay and termite attack. Wolmanized Lumber* solves that problem. It is ordinary wood made highly resistant to this attack by vacuumpressure impregnation with Wolman Salts* preservation. This is the story we are telling in advertisements like that reproduced here.

Enjoys The Cclilornia Lumber Merchqnt

I got so much valuable information and so much pleasure from reading your interesting biography o{ Jefferson that I want to tell someone about it, and I thought I might just as well take time out and tell you. I subscribe to a number of lumber journals but yours is the only one f would really miss if they discontinued publication.

I am taking your May 1st issue to a friend in the hospital tonight and I only hope he gets half as much out of it as I did. My scrap book contains many of your Vagabond Editorials and your funny stories gatl-rered over the past eight years or more, and f value it very highly, and hope you always continue with those interesting biographies and funny stories that make your magazine the most interesting thing that comes in our mails. What a pleasure to pick up a lumber journal and find something other than dry statistics and advertisements.
