HOUSINC is desperately needed. Necessary materials-including Douglas Fir Doors-must be channeled to meet this need.

As a result-even though Pre-f it and Factri-Fit Douglas fir doors are being produced in increasing quantitiesthere may be further delays in filling orders for non-housing uses or for housing that does not come under the Reconversion Housing Program.

Distributors and dealers will be delayed in building up inventories. lt may be difficult, at times, to buy the exact design or type of door you want.

As production steps up, however, there will be plenty of these fine, precision-made doors to meet the huge demand. We suggest that you keep in touch with your regular source of suPPlY.

When Douglas fir stock doors are again readity available for general needs, you can be assured that theY will be the finest doors which can be produced by modern precision methods. These stu?dy, attractive, durable 6le6v5-66ds of all-heartwood Douglas firfeature refinements which save time and tabor on the lob and assure better installations every time.

,aa-tD-f,w -tf-aa-

, Douglas fir ooors will b€ available pre- fit to exact book size ready to 1,1?in.:'tnout on-the-iob sawing and Douglas fir doors will be available pre- sealed a feature which improves dimensional stability, reduces moisture absorption, and €liminat€s the need for one prine coat.

Douglas fir doors will be available completely machined on order-pre- fit, gained for hinges and mortised or bored for locks. Doors will be grade-marked, of course -for ease in specification and ordering. Scuff-strips will protect the precision-cut corners during handling and shipping. They will be better doors in eYery way!

How Lumber Looks

Eureka, June 6.-5triking lumber workers in 11 Northern California redwood mills today considered a compromise 2Gcent hourly increase offered to them by Thomas Cokeley, attorney for the Redwciod Industrial Relations Committee.

The offer was made yesterday at a Federal labor negotiations meeting and was contingent upon an increase in price in Redwood lumber. The 4000 workers struck last January for an increase of.22% cents an hour.

The companies and unions remained deadlocked over the union shop issue.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended May 25, 103 mills reporting, gave orders as 56,588,000 feet, shipments 56,875,000 feet, and production 68,277,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 262,n5,0ffi feet.

The Southern 1, B0 units (108 feet, shipments feet. Orders on 840,000 feet.

Pine Association for the week ended June mills) reporting, gave orders as 16,705,000 16,886,000 feet, and production 15,308,000 hand at the end of the week totaled 90,-

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended June 1, 138 mills reporting, gave orders at67,738,Affi feet, shipments 73,5O7,000 feet, and production 69,419,000 feet. Unfilled orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 490,125,000 feet.

Extends Control Over Sawmills

Washington, June 6.-The Civilian Production Administration has extended its control over sawmills in an attempt to increase construction lumber and flooring reserves by about four billion feet.

This step will bring every sawmill in the country under Government control, CPA said. Previously, only sawmills producing 8,000 feet of softwood or 4,000 feet of hardwood a day were controlled.

By broadening sawmill controls, CPA hopes to increase hardwood flooring reserves by about 270 million feet annually.

The additional amount of lumber produced under the new controls would be released to meet "essential requirements" of the Veterans' Administration and military and civilian users, as well as the veterans' housing program, CPA explained.

Today's action was efiected by amendment of Direction 1 to Priorities Regulation 33.

A.F.t. Lumber Men Get S-Cent Raise

Seattle, May 31.-A 5-cent-an-hour wage increase bringing the minimum hourly pay of A.F.L. lurnber workers to $1.10 was granted today to approximately 18,000 Puget Sound area workers.

The Lumbermen's Industrial Relations Committee announced it \i'/ill submit the new wage agreement to the Wage Stabilization Board for approval.

"f feel like the stranger who was beaten, robbed, and left bleeding by the wayside on the road between Jerusalem and Jericho, Our Government represents the High Priest who went by on one side, and the Black Market represents the Levite who passed by on the other side. I am lying here starving and bleeding and waiting for some good Samaritan to sell me some building material."

**tl

That is the best letter on the present situation I've received from a lumber dealer. It was written by an old friend of mine who runs a small country y4rd, in a small country town. And if you don't think he means all he says, you're ctaz,'

Using a Biblical story for emphasis is often done impressively. Col. Greeley, who recently resigned the management of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, used a Bible story with telling effect at a dinner they gave him in Seattle at the time of n* t;""j"t;

He told about how in the days of his youth when he was in charge of a Federal forest, he sometimes referred to that forest as "my forest." One day an old-timer said to him: "Youtr calling that forest yours, reminds me of a Bible story; the one where Satan took the Master to the top of a high mountain and showed Him all the world and told Him he would give it all to ifim if He would bow down and adore him. And all the time the lying old soandso never owned an acre "t_*;

Thomas Dreier, of Boston, who publishes a delightful little monthly magazine of thought called "The Vagabond," defines a vagabond as "one who wanders around the world looking for truth and beauty, and who tells about what he finds so that others may share his fun." That covers the ground with these Vagabond Editorials except that in our wanderings we encounter so much that is neither truth nor beauty.

ft has been philosophically said, that it's all in the way we look at it. One man is happy as he goes through life because he makes it a rule to seek out beauty and truth; while another man is unhappy because he hates the ugliness he sees all about him. My idea is that we should see both, we vagabonds. It's grand to admire truth and beauty; but if we did only that and closed our eyes to the false and

the ugly and did nothing about it, we would all of us soon be in one Hades of a fix. You can't cure evil by refusing to consider it; like a bureaucratic government, for instance.

During the past couple of months this nation learnedand was shocked at learning-how dependent our whole economy has become on things that never seemed vitally or tragically serious before. Such as the railroad strike. We went into that strike more or less calmly and with little thought of danger. And before it had been in progress an hour we had discovered that it could utterly destroy us; and that in a very short space of time. And when I say destroy, I mean destroy. We discovered that it could shatter health, and our very lives, as well as our economic well-being.

I hold no brief for President Truman. But he displayed great courage when he went before Congress and demanded legislation that would. permit him to keep the railroads going even though it required forceful conscription of labor. At that moment almost every man in both houses of Congress was frightened witless by the suddenly impending tragedy which the strike ushered in. At that moment practically every men jack of them would have voted for anything that would prevent wholesale national tragedy. Any of them except perhaps a few reds. The threat passed. And right away a lot of those small-souled politicians forgot the danger just passed, and the fear that had so recently possessed them, and began throwing partisan political rocks at Truman. Such is -*oditr statesmanship!

We know now that we have got to arouse enough courage in this land of ours to make it irnpossible for such things to happen again. There must be no more atomic bombs hung suddenly over this nation from within our own ranks. It is fundamental in our law that the liberty of one citizen ends where the liberty of another citizen begins. We have arrived at a time when we must decide whether any group of men in this fair land shall have the legal right to interfere with the rights of all the rest of the nation; to put them, their properties and their lives, in jeopardy as was recently done on two*occasions.

The fix in which we find ourselves is, as everyone knows and every honest man admits, the fruits of legislation enacted within the last thirteen years. The condition can only be corrected by Congress. The nation has a right to look to Congress for such legislation as will outlaw any such dangers as those through which we recently passed.

If we haven't the strength, the courage, and the intelligence to create for ourselves that sort of protection, then we don't deserve liberty and the other precious heritages that the fathers gave us. It isn't temporary remedies we need. It is to write and enact and enforce such laws as will deprive any man or group of men of a power greater than the powers of our government; the power to devastate this nation under any plea or for any purpose. Talk about extending our social security benefits! It's the nation that cries aloud for security today! ***

If we could just find some way to trade a mess of votefrightened politicians for a few courageous statesmen, the cup of fear and danger that so recently pissed close to our lips could come this way no more. We need a Patrick Henry today just as badly as ever in our history. The famous poem "God Give Us Men" has become an American Pra'er' * * -*

That this beloved country of ours is at this moment at one of the most dangerous cross-roads in its history, is a fact echoed in the editorid columns of all but the left-wing neryspapers from ocean to ocean. And in none was the situation more forcefully and strikingly pictured than in an editorial in the Dallas News, signed by an editor, Lynn W.

FIIA Policy Under Tirle VI

"fn the present situation we know there are actual elements of home construction cost which we must-consider temporary," Commissioner Raymond M. Foley of the Federal Housing Administration iecently told members of the Metropolitan Home Builders Association. in Chicago.

"\Mhen the Veterans' Emergency Housing Program succeeds in making materials and labor readily available, these conditions should be eliminated and the need for Title VI loans from the standpoint of cost will have vanished. We intend to administer the law in such a fashion as will, we hope, hasten that day." Title VI of the National Housing Act provides that loans may be insured up to 90 per cent of the FHA's estimate of current cost of the land and structure, approved for insured financing before construction is started.

Landruar, which is quoted in the following p"r"gr"pii. Read them thoughtfully:

"America faces today the same sort of industrial anarchy which drove Italy to the dictatorship of Mussolini, Germany to the dictatorship of Hitler, and Russia to the dictatorship of Stalin. Freedom cannot survive cbaos; nothing can. When trains won't run, power ceases, food rots on sidetracks and in the fields and millions are thrown out of work against their will, the people grow desperate and violence begins. Then in clanks the dictator with tank and .machine gun to restore order and assume siipreme power. Thaf must not happer here. The fact that our law had no solution of the rail strike except the exercise of war emergency powers of the President, is ominously significant. Do not forget it. ***

l'America should have one rule; one justice for all. America should have one aim in the present crisis: stop all preying upon production 4nd producc, produce, produce! America should have one government, and. only one: the Constitution of the United States and the public aervants duly constituted by and under its authority. Every selflsh interest opposed to these principles should be swept aside ---<rot with violence, not with anger, but in singleness of purpose and steadfastness of loyalty. America wants no dictator, and submits to none."

The recently enacted Veterans' Emergency Housing Act has extended the time during which a house built with priorities assistance must be held for sale to World War II veterans or servicemen. Those who are granted priorities assistance must now hold the houses for sale to veterans for 60 days after completion, instead of the former 30 days. If the houses are for rent, they need to be held only 3O days as heretofore. Applications for priorities assistance in obtaining scarce materials are filed with local offices of the Federal Housing Administration which acts for the Civilian Production Administration.

Amendment 2 to Supplementcry Order 128

Washington, D. C., May 31.-Extension of the individual adjustment procedure provided for some individual producers of lumber to cover producers of hardwood flooring, cedar closet lining and west coast cooperage was announced today by the Office of Price Administration.

In a September 1, 1945, announcement of an adjustment procedure covering individual producers of tidewater red cypress and Sitka spruce lumber, hardwood plywood and turned or shaped wood products, OPA stated the method of adjusting ceilings would be extended to cover other lumbers.

Avalon Vilhse

Avalon Village, a $5,000,000 veteran housing development, located on Avalon and Sepulveda Boulevards, Wilmington, Calif., was initiated by the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Altadena, Calif. This project is financed by this association; is being constructed by the Western Defense Housihg Company; and is owned and will be operated by The Avalon Village Company.

The development consists of 1000 dwelling units contained in 250 four-unit, one-story buildings, surrounding a nineteen-acre park and school area. 500 of these apartments will be "singles," with Murphy bed and studio couch in living room, a dinette, kitchen, dressing room and bath, as well as ample closet and storage space. The remaining 500 apartments are to be "doubles," adding to the above mentioned accommodations a bedroom and additional closet space. All apartments are to be completely furnished, including Bendix washers in the laundry rooms convenient-

ly located throughout the tract for the service of tenants. A garage with a large storage cabinet will be furnished for each apartment. Also the project management guarantees complete gardener service and water. Completely equipped play areas for the children will be installed at convenient intervals. Rentals, including these tenant services, rvill range from $45.00 to 950.00 per month.

A housing scale model of Avalon Village was exhibited at 2300 North Lake Avenue, Altadena, from May 20 to May 26, and attracted a large number of visitors, including many veterans and their wives. The model was then moved to Barker Bros. of Los Angeles, where it was on display on the fifth floor from June 3 to 14. Barker Bros. also presented an interesting window display in conjunction with the model exhibit.

First occupancies of these new completely furnished rental units in Avalon Village are scheduled for August 1, 1946. Construction work started on April 3.

The Virtue oI Inconsistency

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. With consistency a great soul simply has nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. If you would be a man, speak what you'think today in words as hard as cannon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, thongh it contradict werything you said today. "Ah, then," exclaimed the aged ladies, "you shall be misunderstood." It is a fool's word, Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit tAat ever took flesh.

The Victory

In every man's life pilgrimage, however unblest, there are holy places where he is made to feel his kinship with the Divine; where the heavens bend low over his head and the angels come and minister unto him. These are tlte places of sacrifice, the meeting ground of mortal and immortal, the tents of trial wherein are waged the great spiritual combats of mari's life. Here are the tears and agonies, and the bloody sweats of Gethsemane. Happy the man who, looking back, can say to himself : "I{ere, too, was the victory."

***

Destiny

Sometimes I feel resentful

Of that celestial rule, Which makes one man a genius, Another man a fool. The judgment is so final, I cannot help but feel, That there should be provision For the loser to appeal.

I know if I were present

At the launching of a soul, And should possess the power

To designate its goal;

I'd give the fool an equal chance

To Honor and to Fame. And not ordain his future, Nor give his fate a name.

f wouldn't just condemn him, To be or not to be;

f'd send him forth unfettered, To reach his destiny.

Smile

A smile costs nothing, but it gives much. It e.nriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a single moment, but lasts forever; None is so rich and -ighty that he can get along without it, an& none is so poor that he cannot be ma.le rich with it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in businesq, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouragetl, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble, yet cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen. Some people are too, tired to give you a smltre. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so nouch as those who have none to giv6.

New Lumber Dirtribution Yard In Oakland

Lyle S. Vincent recently became associated with the Twin Harbors Lumber Company in forming the Interbay Lumber Company, which is operating a lumber distribution yard at 1001 16th Avenue, Oakland, where they have acquired the interests of the West Oregon Lumber Company in the San Francisco Bay area.

This company will carry stocks of lumber, plywood and shingles, and other building materials as they become available.

When the Navy releases the waterfront property purchased early this year by Twin Harbors Lumber Company, the plant will be moved to that location, and it is expected that milling facilities will be added at that time. This site has an area of 180,565 square feet, with frontage on 23rd Avenue, Ford Street and Kennedy Street, Oakland. The property has 675 feet frontage on the U. S. Tidal Canal, has rail service, and is adjacent to a ship channel 275 f.eet wide.

Mr. Vincent is general manager of the new concern. He has been manager of the West Oregon Lumber Company's interests in the San Francisco Bay area for thi past nine years, and is one of the best known lumbermen on the Pacific Coast, having been for many years in the wholesale business in Seattle.

Albert S. Van Dusen, who has been with the West Oregon Lumber Company for some time, and was formerly with the Smith Lumber Companr will be assistant manager.

The telephone number of the Interbay Lumber Company is Andover 6088.

Angly Buys Huntting-Merritt Mill

Maurice Angly, well known wholesale lumberman of Houston, Texas, was in Los Angeles the other day on his way home from British Columbia. He reported that he and his associates have just purchased one of the two large shingle mills in the world, that of the Huntting-Merritt Co., Ltd. They bought the capital stock of the British company, and are now operating the plant, which consists.of an electrically driven 2Lmachine mill with dry kiln capacity for the entire p(oduct, and a large stand of Red Cedar timber in British Columbia. The output will be sold exclusively through the facilities of the Maurice Angly Lumber Company, Houston; Texas.

Milf Ceilings on Hardwood Lumber Increased

Washington, D. C., May 31.-Mill ceiling increases averaging $5.90 per thousand board feet, or 11 per cent, on all hardwood lumber produced in the south central hardwood region, with the exception of construction grades which have already been given increases, were announced today by the Office of Price Administration.

An example of today's new ceilings, effective May 31, 1946, is that of $65.50 per thousand board feet for No. 1 common and selects plain red oak. The increases were based on a cost survey of representative production for the year 1945. Consumers will pay the higher prices, OPA said.

Because the normal price relationship between hardwood timbers and grade lumber was changed during the war to encourage increased timber production for military requirements, prices for the following timbers, or construction grades, have not been increased by this action:

(1) Structural stock or sound square edge.

(2) Freight car stock, common dimension, mine car lumber.

(3) No. 1 and No.2 dimension.

When averaged out over all south central hardwood lumber, including construction grades, today's increase amounts to $5.30 per thousand board feet, or 9l per cent, OPA explained.

(Amendment 2l to Maximum Price Reg.ulation 155Central Hardwood Lumber-effective May 31, 1946.)

Eric M. Hexberg, after four years of active duty with the Armed Forces, has resumed his former position of sales manager of the Anglo California Lumber Co. at Los Aggeles. He has also been designated as the firm's purchasing agent.

San Francisco Company's Mills Produce Kimbell Reports Lumber Problems To Nation" Purchasing Agents

Oak, Alder, Redwood and Fir

The Sequoia Mill and Lumber Company operates an alder mill at Gualala, Calif., cutting 10,000 feet per day; a redwood mill at Willits, Calif., with a daily output of 30,000 feet, and an oak mill at Long Valley, Lake County, cutting 10,000 feet daily.

This company is a partnership of Dan A. McMillan, Jr., and Gerald G. Pearce, with offices in the Hobart Building, San Francisco.

Half of the production of these three operations will be shipped to the Edgewater Lumber Company, a corporation owned by Dan A. McMillan, Jr., C. Dudley De Velbiss, and Gerald G. Pearce. This concern will serve principally as a wholesale distribution yard.

Affiiiates of the Sequoia Mill and Lumber Company are the Anchor Bay Lumber Company, which operates a redwood mill at Gualala, with a capacity of 40,000 feet per day; the Trinity Fir Lumber Co., which has a Douglas fir mill at Zenia, Calif., cutting 40,000 feet daily, and the Twin Mill Lumber Company at Eugene, Oregon, with an output of 30,000 feet daily of Douglas fir.

Mr. Pearce states that the timber for these oak, alder, redwood and fir operations has been carefully selected, and believes these mills will produce high quality products.

"The redwood timber at Gualala is of especially fine, close-grained textur'e," he says, "suitable for tanks, cooling towers, rustic and siding. The oak is a true, white oak, which will make a select grade of flooring. The alder is of fine quality, and comes from the North Fork area. The fir at Trinity comes from east of the redwood belt, and while the fir being .cut at Eugene at present is second growth, we expect to be cutting old growth Yellow fir by fall.

"sequoia Mill and Lumber Company will offer through its wholesale office in San Francisco or its distributing yard in Oakland redwood rustics, fir flooring, and general industrial lumber from its production of oak, alder, redwood and fir.f'

Lumber production in 1946 than 30-billion board feet. 1O

not feach more per cent below the government-estimated requirements, Richard Kimbell, director of Technical Services for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, told the annu,al convention bf the National Association of Purchasing Agents at Chicago on May 28.

Mr. Kimbell reported thlt estimated production in the first quarter of this year was only 6 billion feet, and that the second qua{ter total would be about 8 billion feet, or 14 billion feet altogether for the first halt of 1946, A.y estimating for the last half of the year was extremely difficult, he said, but "we think-and remember, this is an estimate based on a host of imponderables-that we will reach something near, but probably less than, 16 billion feet, for a 1946 total of about D or 30 billion feet."

This compares with requirements estimated by the CPA at 33 billion feet, plus necessary incieases in mill and dealer stocks.

"The lumber industry is producing a lot of lumber," Mr. Kimbell said. "But the same government shackles which bind most of you still prevent any all-out lumber production. There is no incentive to produce, and until there is, the margin4l operations which would bring the industry up to full capacity just cannot be put into production."

Mr. Kimbell discussed briefly government priority channeling of lumber, new uses of wood, the black market, and other factors affecting normal distribution patterns in the lumber industry.

Wash. He returned to the east in 1897, and six years later came back to Tacoma and engaged in the sash and door business.

\n 1944, with his son, Joe Z. Todd,, he established the Western Door & Sash Co. in Oakland. The business has grown and prospered. Mr. Todd has traveled on the road for his firm since it started. He is still active, while regret-ting that scarcity of supplies limits his visits for the time being.

Peacetimg Program At Private Forest Owners "JOE BEAVER' In F:r Region ior Tree Planting Restored

Seattle, June 7.-The peacetime program of private forest owners in the Douglas fir region for planting tree seedlings on burned areas of forest land is "more than iully restored," the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has announced.

"The cooperative tree nursery of the forest industries at Nisqually, Washington, is now in its year of greatest production," says the Association. "Six million seedlings, mostly Douglas fir, are growing there. Western Oregon and Washington timber operators have already contracted for 5,400,000 of the seedlings in this record-breaking industrial crop of trees for tomorrow. The remainder will be held as a reserve for private forest owners who may want more seedlings to plant than the number specified in their contracts."

Foresters of the association cite the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company for the planting of 1,025,000 seedlings during the past season, employing high school students for restoration of forest growth to burned lands. "This company has demonstrated faith in the land and in the value of forestry for many years in a program headed by a nationally known forester, Norman G. Jacobson. The company's planting in the past season comes close to putting its forest lands into full production and is therefore the climax of long effort that exemplifies private enterprise as a public service."

A large part of the burned areas planted by the cited company was ravaged by fires set by the forest-using public-"hunters, fishermen, campers, berry-pickers and criminals who deliberately set forest fires," according to the foresters. They emphasized that comparatively little planting would have to be done on private forest lands in the Douglas fir region to provide new timber on cutovers were it not for man-caused forest fires.

Past operations of the Nisqually nursery have been all in war years, the association said. "Maximum production for any previous year was about three million seedlings. This year's output will plant up to 12,000 acres. The cost to industry for growing and planting will be $120,000 or more.

While the timber is growing to harvest size, over a mrnimum period of 50 years, protection and other expenses will add $15 per acre more to costs, or a total of $300,000 for the 12,000 acres through the minimum maturing period. If the forest industries can keep freedom to produce, freedom to manag'e, freedom to plan and operate, the public may expect the nursery and planting program to be maintained. "Yet we will lose ground if the public fails to do its part in prevention of forest fires by the careless and by criminals," the Association warned. "There is an economic limit to the planting of burned forest lands. The real answer is treatment o_f the forest fire as a'crime by law enforcement agencies and action by the courts to make the punishment fit the crime."

.'Demands lor Home Repcrir

There is a gigantic pent-up demand for postwar home.re_ pair and improvement work to be don€ as soon as materials for the purpose are available, according to Arthur J. Frentz, assistant commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration. In estimating the demand for credit to finance this -type of work, Mr. Frentz told the l2th annual Institute of fndustrial Banking: "\Me need only to consider that there are nearly 40,000,000 dwelling structures in this country ' ltrd that very little improving or modernizing work has been done- during the past five years. practically every ' house needs some kind of work done to it.', He estimatei that possibly half of these dwelling owners would want 'work done as soon as materials are available and that one out of six would seek credit. This would mean 3,300,000 loan. applications.

Cites Need for Cooperation Between Additional Allow6nce3 for Dunnage

Lumber and Millwo* Manufacturers '

Closer cooperation between lumber. producers and millwork manufacturers is essential to preserve the position of both in today's highly competitive market, according to L' K. Burno, vice-president of Harris Brothers Company, prominent Chicago lumber dealers, and president of George Silbernagel & Sons, widely known stock woodwork manufacturers of \Mausau, Wisconsin.

Harris Brothers Company has recently become a member of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork through acquisition of the Silbernagel plant.

"An association such as Ponderosa Pine Woodwork performs a highly necessary function today {or both lumber producers and millwork manufacturers in maintaining their competitive standing," Mr. Burno said. "Through the continued efiorts of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, the public, as well as important influencing members of the trade, are kept advised of the beauty and quality which stock woodwork can add to the homes of today and tomorrow.

"This is particularly important at a time when'veterans and other prospective home builders are intent on obtaining not just a roof over their heads, but a home which they will continue to enjoy and value through the years. Through the use of stock woodwork, even the most modest homes can be given quality features which assure lasting owner satisfaction."

New Building Mcrtericrls Finn Orgcrnized in Fresno.

Ed C. van Maarth and R. N. Whittington recently organized the Durable Products,Company, a partnership engaged in the merchandising of specialty building materials in the San Joaquin Valley, with yard at 2645 Maroa Avenue, Fresno, a temporary location pending the availability of a more suitable one.

Mr. van Maarth has been associated with The Celotex Corporation for the past 10 y"ati, and is well known among the dealers, architects, and contractors in Northern and Central California.

Mr. Whittington has been connected with the building material business in the Fresno area for l0 years. He was a partner in the K-Y Lumber Co' for the past three years' and before that was employed by the Kellner Lumber Co., Fresno,

Used on Open Cars

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association, under date of May 17, sent out a circular notifying the Industry that the railroads plaa to publish additional allowances for dun' nage used on open cars of forest products effective August I, 1946.

The shipper must certify on shipping order or bill of lading the total number of pairs of stakes used. The allowance provides a deduction of 200 pounds for each pair of stakes used. An open car carrying 6 pair of stakes will take a deduction of 1200 pounds. In addition to the allowance for stakes used, the following allowances will be added for cars loaded with material in excess of a single car length:

Single cars overhanging at one end and requiring one idler, 500 pounds; single cars overhanging at both ends and requiring two idlers, 1000 pounds; double loads, 1500 pounds; triple loads, 2200 pounds. Allowances for multiple loads will be made only when narrowing devices or bearing piecei are used and when shipper so certifies on shipping order or bill of lading.

The credit for obtaining this saving is largely due to the pirsistent and efficient efforts of K' C. Batchelder, traffic manager, West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Ioins Stcrff oI Ncrtioncl Housing Adminirstrqtor

Washington, D. C., May 27.-G. H. Collingwood, one of the nation's top experts on lumber, today joined the staff of Wilson W. Wyatt, National Housing Expediter and Administrator of the National Housing Agency. He will serve as chief lumber specialist in the Materials Supply Branch of NHA-the branch which, in conjunction with other Federal agencies, is concentrating on the job of breaking the building supplies bottleneck in the Veterans Emergency Housing Program.

Mr. Collingwood has just concluded six years' service as chief forester of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington. In that capacity he helped organize the F'orest Industries Council and served as its secretary, worked with Congress relative to forestry legislation, and generally represented the lumber manufacturers' group.

His home is at 1234 Crittenden Street, N. W.' Washington. D. C.

Retail Ceilings on Oalc Flooring Raised

Washington, D. C., May 27._Ftetail ceilings on all oak flooring were raised today by the Office of Price Administration to reflect approximately the dollar-and-cent amounts by which mill prices were increased in a recent OPA action.

Beech flooring produced in certain areas and miscellaneous hardwood flooring, such as pecan and gum, are also affected by the move.

Other'changes raise the retail level of northern hemlock lumber by about $5 per thousand board feet over the December l,1945,level, and northern white cedar shingles are increased on the average about 30 cents per square with an increase of about 85 cents a square for the No. 1 grade.

The increases, which go into effect on May 27, 1946, are temporary pending completion of a review of retail margins. The interim prices will assure distribution of the essential housing materials while the OPA study is in process. To consumers, the action means an approximate three per cent increase over current retail ceilings for oak flooring and for the beech flooring produced in the southern and south central lumber areas. For the oak flooring produced in all other areas and for the beech flooring produced in the Appalachian region the revision means about an eight per cent boost at retail.

Since two sets of prices are established by the mill price revision, the basing points for computing the freight costs entering into the ceiling prices are changed to reflect more closely actual centers of producing areas. Memphis, Tenn., now becomes the basing.point for oak and beech flooring from the southern and south central areas instead of Johnson City, Tenn. Bluefield, West Virginia, replaces Johnson City as the basing point for oak flooring from other areas and for beech flooring from the Appalachian area.

To aid in identification of the flooring entitled to higher ceilings, the mill price order provides that mills tag each bundle with name and location of the mill.

'After July 1, 1946, lumber distribution yards will not be permitted to charge the higher ceiling prices unless the lumber is tagged.

A change is also made in the definition of a sale out of distribution yard stock so as to permit retail yards tb deliver directly froin st_ock in a wholesale distribution yard to the consumer at the retail prices.

Drive lor More Rental Housing

With the passage of the Veterans' Emergency Housing Act, Wilson W. Wyatt, National Housing Expediter.and Administrator of the National Housing Agency, said the way had been opened up for stimulation of construction of low-cost rental housing for veterans. "As we increase the production of building materials and eliminate unnecessary costs due to delays in construction, we will be able to have more and better houses in the low cost field," he said. "Building of more low-cost rental and sales units will also be encouraged by the expanded Federal Housing Administration loan insurance provisions of the Veterans' Emergency Housing Act. At present one-fourth of all dwelli.ngs built with priority assistance must be rental units, and this proportion will be increased as the program develops."
