I,NSULATING BOARD PRODUCTS

The natural strength and durability of sturdy Douglas fir fibers has been skillfully manufactured into insulating board products of improved and matchless quality. Yes, Simpson research was first to take full advantage of this long, strong wood fiber. A new manufacturing process was developed, employing latest-type machinery and new, auto' matic controls to insure a high degree of uniformity and quality. Simpson Insulating Board products have greater structural strength and better insulat' ing properties exceeding U. S. Commercial Standards and Federal Specifications. Entire production is allocated to western dealers.

Building Controls Eased June 1--- Rent Controls Continue

In Washirtgton D.C., on May 28th., the government announced four major changes ending or easing war-born housing controls, effective June 1.

Housing Expediter Frank R. Creedon announced these changes:

Federal housing permits will no longer be required for those who want to build homes for themselves or Tor veterans.

The one-bathroom limitation on new houses is dropped.

The 1SOO-square-foot restriction on floor space for homes is expanded to 2000 square feet.

Repair or alteration allowances are increased from $400 to $1000 for dwellings and from $1000 to $2500 for commercial and small industrial structures.

Creedon said other existing controls will be continued until conditions further improve "or unless Congress directs their removal before then." These include:

Rent ceilings on new construction. The present ceiling is $80 a month on new construction (an average of $80 in the case ol multifamily projects.)

Authorization must still be obtained for nonhousing construction.

Veterans preference. Unless a new home is being built for occupancy by the owner it must be held for a veteran. ff the home ,is for sale it must be held 6O days after co,mpletion before it can be sold to a nonveteran. If for rent it must be held 30 days before being rented to a nonveteran.

The year-round occupancy requirement continues.

Sales price and rent ceilings continue on houses built under priorities granted before Dec.24, 1946.

lmportant Mill and Loggers Conf erence Held in North ern Cafifornia

More than 150 loggers, sawmill operators and remanufacturers attended the Northern California Lumber Conference in Redding on Saturday May 24. In addition to these representatives of producing plants a number of wholesalers, foresters, equipment and supply dealers and lumber .haulers turned out to hear the speakers presented by Western Forest Industries Association, sponso.s of this largest gathering of lumbermen ever held in the area.

L. N. Ericksen of the U,S. Forest Service presided at the morning session held in the Veterans Memorial Buildi.rg. Afternoon chairman was C. D. LeMaster -of Sacramento, editor of "Western Building Review." First speaker was Dr. J. A. Hall, director of the Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station, Portland, Oregon who stated that small mills and remanufacturing plants have a definite place in the lumber economy of the future if they will turn out well-manufactured lumber in sizes and grades wanted by the consumer. Using the California fruit and vegetable growers as an illustration Dr. Hall suggested that the small independent lumber operators study the possibilities of organizing and marketing their products collectively.

Emanuel Fritz, professor of forestry at the University of California outlined several reasons why small mills are likely to be "on the spot" in the days ahead when buyers instead of sellers are in control. He recommended use of labor-saving macl-rinery, closer attention to manufa,cture to insure proper sizes, and elimination of waste through developing new markets for short lengths, lorv grades, edgings and the like. The necessity of making better lumber of uniform size and grade was emphasized also by Lee Moffett, Western Pine Association representative.

Considerable discussion developed on the question of timber supply and the harvesting of government timber. Regional Forester P. A. Thompson explained the timber sales policies of the U.S. Forest Service including the establishment of sustained yield units in n'hich certain private timberland olvners are allorved exclusive right to purchase

government stumpage without competitive bi'dding. Frank Reid of Eugene, Oregon, attorney for WFIA pointed out the danger of ,creating a timber monopoly under such a system, claiming that small mills, generally without large holdings, r,vould be unable to compete w.ith the larger operators many of whom have been buying up cutover land so as to qualify for government-private cooperative units.

"Present Markets and Future Prospects" were discussed by C. L. Hubble, Sacramento wholesaler and J. H. Jones a remanufacturer from Eugene, Oregon. Both reported that supply is rapidly catching up u'ith demand in ordinary construction lumber and that customers are becoming more particular about quality, size and assortments. Samples of mismanufactured lumber from a number of mills were shown to illustrate the necessity for greater care in sawing and keeping equipment in first class condition.

State Forester DeWitt Nelson explained how the California forest practice rules .ivere developed in each region by committees of operators themselves. llnder such a democratic process regulation of cutting and forest management is more likely to be practical and to be supported by more operators than if the rules were imposed by the State without participation of the industry, he believes.

A number of machinery and equipment firms displayed items ranging from po\ver saws to steam shovels in the lot adjacent to the meeting place, and others had representatives present to distribute literature and greet the operators.

At the concluding banquet, held at the Casa Blanca Club, Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association told his audience "the biggest, most difficult and most vital selling job in America today is reselling Americans on the American way of life-We must teach all men that government is not a cow to be milked, that you can only confiscate and redistribute what thrifty men have saved in the past, and that every dollar the government spends comes out of the pockets of the producers We must revitalize the American spirit of self-reliance, aml>ition, thrift and industry."

Western Hardwood Lumber Company Push- Sales Authority Says Our \(/.y ing Wonderful Interior Mahogany Paneling Of Lfie Depends on Business

Western Hardwood Lumber Company, of Los Angeles, announces with considerable pride that it has secured the exlusive selling rights in California, Arizona, and Nevada, for a very beautiful and attractive new Mahogany interior wall panel, called the Panel-ette. This progressive concern has started a stout sales campaign to acquaint the trade of this territory with the merits of this attractive wooden item, and reports splendid early results from these efforts.

This Panel-ette is made of Honduras Mahogany Veneer Board, and solid Honduras Mahogany mouldings are available in any quantity with the Board, in a ,complete variety of sizes to satisfy the requirements of any interior job. The Panel-ette can be included in any construction or modernization job with the assurance that the kind and amount needed to complete the job will be available immediately.

Panel-ette performs two jobs with the installation cost of one, says D. Glennon Cahill, Vice President of Western; . coupled with the beauty in color and grain of the }Tonduras Mahogany veneers is the protective insulation provided by the Gold Bond Insulation Board, which is its base. Made entirely of I0O/o long fiber wood pulp, this insulation eftectively combats both heat and cold, and adds :nuch to the soundproofness of the room. Panel-ette is cut and finished in the factory to butt perfectly with all corners and edges.

The other day a great throng of outstanding sales executives of the entire nation gathered at the Biltmore Hotel, in Los Angeles, to talk about their chief objectselling. It rvas the National Federation of Sales Executives, one thousand of them. Wm. E. Holler, nationally famous sales consultant, told the convention that the world is now divided into two camps-capitalism versus Communismand it is up to business to convince the American people of the advantages of the free enterprise system.

"Democracy thrives on well-fed people with money in their pockets," said Mr. Holler. "ff we are to sustain our national economy we must strive for an averag'e national income of $150,000,000,000 a year, and provide 50,000,000 jobs for those who lr,'ant to work."

He said that industry today is faced with four major problems: lack of civilian production during the war years; depleted and untrained sales organizations; high prices; over-expended plarrt capacity 40 percent greater than in 1941. To handle this situation industry must hire 1.500,000 salesmen to obtain the mass orders to insure mass production and mass employment. He blamed high prices on high taxes and said that before the government asks for lower prices it should set the wise example of lowering the taxes that make the prices high.

"It is because nations tend to stupidity and baseness that mankind moves so slowly; and it is because individuals have a capacity for better things that it moves at all," sagely remarks George Ol""tlt. *

Teddy Roosevelt oncer heard the well-worn remark made that a man can worship his God in,'a grove of trees, on a hill side, or by a running brook as well as in a church. Teddy said there is no doubt but that a man CAN do so, but he very much doubted if the average man DID.

I loved a recent dissertation by the columnist "Bugs" Baer on curing tough kids of being tough. He told of a tough kid who was double mean. One day they found him picking the feathers clean from a pet canary-alive. So they asked a neighborhood cop what he would do with a kid like that. The wise cop said: "Throw him a lion and let him pick the feathers off of that." They took the hint, and soon he wasn't so tough. It's worth remembering. When a kidr gets too tough, throw him a lion. Figuratively speaking, of course.

Roy Gaither once ,"ial "J.g"lur.r" of the changes that take place in business there always remain unchanged and undimmed the eternal verities of character, honesty, integrity, truthfulness, fidelity of purpose, and loyalty to trust."

A writer discussing Russia (as what writer today does not?). paints a black picture of conditions inside the Soviet Union today, paying particular attention to the thought that Russia, because of the war, is a great land that is practically WITHOUT YOUNG MEN. He could well add to that statement that it is a land practically without

thinking classes of any age, due to the fact that Uncle Joe had thoroughly wiped out and deliberately destroyed that class before the war started. Try and imagine the fix of a huge nation practically lacking those two classes of men.

I get soft-hearted mighty easily about England. Stories' and reports of her present sad economic condition depress me. I've read some very bad ones recently. Many commentators doubt that England will make the grade out of her present difficultibs. And then-I picked up a paper and read about the gala opening of the American musical-comedy success "Oklahoma," in London. Nothing like it in history for glamour, excitement, expense. Mobs pay high prices for seats, everything sold far in advancg the ticket scalpers buy $400,000 worth of advance tickets, reservations extend away up to the Christmas holidays. Somehow that doesn't match the picture of a drab, hungry, ill-housed, ill-clad people I had been holding in mind of late. ***

George Washington, we are told, threw a silver dollar across the Rappahannock River. If it happend today and the dollar weighed according to its purchasing power, a ten-year-old boy could throw it across, and it would hardly be worth while picking up and bringing back.

The invasio' ot po-i ";, ;. felling and otherwise dismembering trees in the logging woods of this country is a conquering march. In the mighty forests of the West this is especially true, where trees of great size are to be cut. Today, with power saws, they are cutting down trees right close to the ground which, in the old days of the crosscut saw, were cut far up the trunk. Huge savings in timber and in time. In California where the Pine trees grow very large, some of the mills are now using their power saws as rip-saws, and slicing lengthwise logs that are too large for the mill saws and carriages, cutting them into sizes that can be handled and milled. Since the slicing is done cleanly, a great saving in valuable lumber is being effected over the older ways of cracking the big logs with dynamite. So, "the world do move."

More progress. There are on the market today in volume, new types of interior paneling that combine beauty of wood with high insulation properties. Some stuff I saw was fronted with genuine Honduras Mahogany veneer of fine grain and beauty, permanently bonded to a long fiber pulp board, the boards skilfully joined with solid Mahogany mouldings. Just another of the many new and interesting developments in building material that are coming on the market to help make home or office construction more attractive and interesting. There will be great competition in the years immediately ahead of us for the development of new thoughts in building materials; greater by far than in any past period of lumber history. You may safely depend on it.

"Literally ANY wood can be readily sold." That's the way an editorial reads in a lumber journal that lies open before me. No, friend, it isn't talking about the lumber situation in these here United States six months or a year

back, although they would have been true words then. It is a statement in an English lumber journal, "Timber News," telling about the lumber famine prevailing in that country now, and the manner in which lumber, every possible sort of lumber that they can get from the many corners of the earth, is being snapped up on sight by the British lumber buyers. Somewhere else in this issue there is a very readable and interesting news story about lumber conditions in Britain right now, in case you're interested.

Hoo-Hoo lmmortals Honored At Milwaukee Meeting

Here is a piiture of a recent event in tle annals of Hoo-Hoo that will be historical in the history of that organization. At the May meeting of the Supreme Nine in Milwaukee, high honor was paid to five men; the five men who made up the Reorganization Committee years ago, and established the foundations on which the Order now so soundly and proudly stands. They have since been known to the members as "Hoo-Hoo fmmortals," the committee being composed of Harry T. Kendall, Ormie C. Lance, T. T. Jones, W. M. Vy'attson, and T. M. Partridge. The first four were, in attendance at the Milwaukee meeting, only Mr. Partridge being absent.

\(/ilfred T. Cooper .{. *.:.***

Although still in his late fifties Wilfred T. Cooper, wholesale lumberman of Pasadena, California, has had 42 years experience in the wholesaling of lumber. A native of San Francisco, he is of English and French descent. His greatgrandfather and grandfather came from France in the late 1840's around the Horn, and his father came from England ln the /U's.

He went to school in San Francisco, and in 1905 went to work for the J. R. Hanify Company in thq office and soon became a salesman. This firm was engaged in the cargo business, bringing fir from the Pacific Northwest in wooden sailing vessels and lumber schooners. These boats had a capacity ranging from 300,000 to 1,500,000 board feet of lumber.

He was transferred to Los Angeles by the J. R. Hanify Company in 1908, and has been there ever since. In those days, Wilfred says, the salesmen worked off the street cars, and did a lot of leg work. And when he first hit Los Angeles there were only three fir salesmen as competitors. These rvere R. W. Brown of Sudden & Christenson; Walter Wise, West & Slade Lumber Co., and "Baldy" Smith, who represented Tom Pollard of San Francisco. A few years after his arrival in Los Angeles he bought an automobile to speed up his service to his customers. Previously when a cargo came in he used to use taxicabs to get around quickly.

He formed the Wilfred T. Cooper Lumber Co. in 1972 and since that time has operated on his own. He now works closely with his brother, H. B. Cooper, nationally known wholesaler of Portland, Oregon.

Mr. Cooper was married in l9t7 to Miss Mary Spalding of Los Angeles. They live in Glendale.

Wilfred used to play tournament tennis, and although he never won any championships he has the record of beating

some men rvho did. He took up the French language as a hobby many years ago and speaks it fluently. He still likes the lumber business, and thinks it has been a most interesting experience to see Los Angeles g,row from 200,000 to 1,800,000.

TECO lssues New Lumber Sales Promotion Booklet

Peace-time building with wood is featured in a new 40 page pictorial booklet released today by the Timber Engineering Company.

"Modern Building With Wood" presents to the architect, engineer, contractor and builder a wide range of light and heavy frame wood structures employing the Teco connector system of construction, Lamella'construction, and glued laminated construction.

Four out of every five American homes are built of wood and the booklet illustrates a number of well designed, small prefabricated homes. One series of photos shows the step by step procedure in building the simple Teco trussed rafter which saves up to 400 board feet of lumber in a one story two bedroom home.

Architects will also find of value beautiful church interiors and exteriors, amusement places using artistically designed glued and Lamella exposed trusses, outdoor movie theatre screens, various types of hangars, grandstands, stores, gymnasiums, and warehouses.

For the engineer there are towers of various types, illustrations of timber testing, laminated beams for railway construction, overpasses, and engine houses.

Laminated marine products came from the war. Illustrated in the new booklet are glued, laminated ship keels that have four times the strength in bending and eight times the resistance to deflection that conventional bolted wood keels have. The glues used are stronger than the wood and will not deteriorate in water.

Also illustrated are various research jobs carried on for individual companies and trade associations in the laboratories of the Timber Engineering Company.

Copy of the booklet will be supplied free upon request.

You'll Enjoy This Story On British Lumber Conditions

From "Timber News" Of London

At the moment when the hardwood trade sorely needs business and every one of the wood consuming industries faces the prospect of lowered output and short time unless the raw material shortage can be relieved, it may seem a little uncharitable to mention the dangers that attend the importation of woods of dubious ldentity and unascertained properties. From some quarters the cry may come-"Any wood is better than no wood" and perhaps the small minority, which cares little for the future of wood, will be willing enough to leave the worrying to the ,consumer, who unfortunately is only too glad to put his hands on any kind of material just now.

The majority of the trade, however, will face the issues squarely and will admit that very real dangers exist. Many of the tropical hardwoods now on ofier to this country, even where their botanical identity has been established, are still an unknown quantity as regards their physical characteristics and usefulness. Others may have come here in trifling quantities before the war and have escaped any systematic 'check-up on their attributes or suitability for a given use. Yet others, already known perhaps in this market as products from one area, may now arrive from another, camouflaged behind a new and outlandish name. All of them, whatever their special merits or disadvantages, will find eager buyers among the manufacturers, and with the best intentions in the world some bad mistakes will certainly be made. While it is true that few woods from the tropical forests are worthless-using "worthless" as a relative term to express our present inability to exploit their possibilities, many of them possess inherent peculiarities which militate against their use for specified purposes -for furniture, flooring, tool handles or whatever final product is needed. If there is no such thing as a general utility wood in the forests of the temperate zone, how much more absurd it would be to suppose that any dozen species among the thousands that abound in the forests of Soutl-r America or Africa could qualify for that designation !

The hardwood trade is not afraid of new woods. Historically, it owes its growth, from the original foundation

of native 'ivoods to the great and complicated structure of the thirties, to the introduction of more and more of the exotic timbers. The expansion started with the first cargoes brought home by the merchant adventurers and has gone on steadily ever since. But it is as well to remember that most of the hardwoods which came to these shores in 1939 had established tl-remselves only after long periods of trial and error. Substitute woods, if they were to secure a footing, had to prove their worth. In four centuries there rvas at no time a sellers' market to compare with the present one and the importer who took the risk of bringing in a new rvood had from sheer economic necessity to study its qualities and see that it really met his customer's requirements.

Between the wars, the introduction of fresh species received a tremendous impetus, first from the encouragement given to Empire trade, second from the establishment, in the most important forest areas of the Empire, of Crown conservancies charged with the tasks of cruising, protecting and developing the usefulness of the forests. Scores of unfamiliar woods were shipped here as logs or lumber, some of them replacing timbers from the older forest regions which'had suffered depletion. Even in this period there was a certain amount of impropcr utilisation and unsoundmarketing.Woods bearing a superficial resemblance to traditional timbers were marketed as mahoganies, walnuts, oaks and teaks. Many woods of real worth were misapplied or sold under conditions which brought discredit upon them, so that it r.vas much more difficult to sell them when an appropriate outlet had been found. Ilowever, as long as tl-re introduction of new species was regulated by the critical attitude of the manufacturer, very little "blind" importing took place. In the same period the Forest Products Research Laboratory, r'rrorking in conjunction with the forest authorities in the countries of export, was able to cope with the intake of new species and ,could provide solid information which helped eliminate many cases of misapplication.

The situation today is entirely difierent. Literally any

Co.

wood can be readily sold. The producer krio*. that, and in many'cases woiks entirely on the basis of this thoroughly artificial market position. The hardwood distributor in Britain and his customer knorjv it too, but would be foolish to adopt the same policy. The long term interests of both sections demand that the new woods should be bought, named and put to use in an orderly and rational manner, otherwise pre-war blunders like the sale of Eucalyptus obliqua and Eucalyptus regnans as "Tasmanian oak," will be repeated on a bigger and more damaging scale.

Larkin Jr., an officer of the SecurityFirst National Bank, of Los Angeles, told the Electric Club of this city at a noonday luncheon that Los Angeles is now having one of the great building booms of its history, and that due to this great construction volume the house shortage is rapidly fading.

He said: "The worst of the housing shortage was passed nearly a year ago, but it probably will be two or three years before renters and buyers will have the freedom of choice they had before the war. Since the war 165,000 homes have been completed in Los Angeles County, enough for 500,000 persons. This is a remarkable performance considering the controls and shortages."

In anticipation of legislation carrying out the recommendations of the Sloan Royal Commission on Forestry in British Columbia the reforestation section of the Forest Service l.ras been steadily increasing its production of seedlings for replanting until today it can supply an estimated 20,000,000 Douglas fir seedlings annually, enough to reforest 25,000 acres of burned over or logged over land.

There are three nurseries now active, one at Green Timbers, near New Westminster, the second at Campbell River, on Vancouver Island, and the third at Duncan, also on Vancoui'er Island-

The nurs.ery at Green Timbers, .rvhich is knorvn as the Green Timbers Forest Experiment Station covers an Area of about 665 acres, or 16 city blocks, rvith 20 acres of seedbeds and the balance in plantations. Its present beds are capable of proclucing about 7,000,000 tu'o-year-olcl seedlirrgs annually. (Timber of Canada).

Announcement is made by Kemp Hardware & Lumber Co., 1133 East 63rd Street, Los Angeles 1, that they are now selling a brand new type of four-side sticker-The Fenton Wood Mill. It will make any type of moulding up to its capacity, according to Oscar P. Kemp of this company, who states that this is 2" by 6f", and that one ingenious operator stretched the capacity to enable him to run window sill stock 7 inches wide. and runs all his stucco mould and other mouldings used in a window frame factory on this machine. Some of the operators run anywhere from one to five pieces in multiple.

lndustry Authors Honored By Hoo-Hoo

Official news release lrom

Honorary Life N{emberships in Hoo-Hoo International have been awarded by the Supreme Nine to four nationally known authors "in appreciation of highly valuable service rendered the lumber industry."

. In announcing the action taken by the officials of the Order, R. E. Saberson, Snark of the Universd, said:

"It is doubtful whether writers in any other field have done as much for their respective industries as has been accomplished Tor the lumber industry by Stewart H. Holbrook, Stanley F. Horn, James Stevens, and Jack Dionne. Their books and editorials are not only required reading in the industry itself but have received wide public acclaim. It is impossible to estimate how many readers have come to know the industry better, and far more favorably, as a result of authentic information contained in their popular publications.

Stewart H. Holbrook, Portland, Oregon, grew up as a Iumberjack and is as mucli at home on a logging camp's deacon seat as on a Harvard University rostrum. He has come to be regarded as one of America's leading historians but continqes to write much concerning the lumber industry. Holy Old Mackinaw, which deals authoritatively and interestingly with loggefs, has gone through fifteen printings and sales are still climbing. Burning An Empire relates the incredible and fascinating story of the toll taken by forest fires and is accepted generally as the most authoritative treatment of the subject.

Stanley F. Horn was selected by Bobbs-Merrill, following their success in publishing, similar books on other industries, as the author best fitted to tell tlre story of the lumber industry from its earliest inception down to the present time. This Fascinating Lumber Business is regarded as the most comprehensive volume on the American lumber industry as a whole that has been published. To anyone in the industry, it is far morc interesting than a novel.

James Stevens has been writing indefatigably about every phase of the lumber industry Tor many years. His articles have appeared widely in leading magazines and newspapers and his book on Paul Bunyan brought this legendaiy hero

Hoo-Hoo Headquarters

out of the bunk house haze and made him the symbol of the almost superhuman achievement of the men in the lumber industry. His pen has lost none of its fluency and he continues to write prodigiously of the industry.

In the annals of the lumber industry, no other rvriter has so constantly recorded the need for intelligent cooperation, better understanding, and a wider and more intensive application of the principles of the Golden Rule (the basic concepts of Hoo-Hoo) than expressed by Jack Dionne in his Vagabond Editorials. In addition to his serious editorial activity, he has entertained the industry from an inexhaustible fund of wit and humor projected into stories that have made him a prominent national figure.

All four men are widely known throughout the industry and appear frequently on convention programs and at other meetings where lumber and kindred topics are discussed.

Ream Company as their Southern California distributor, comprising the territory of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Diego and Imperial Counties.

George E,. Ream, president of George E. Ream Company, enthnsiastically states thdt he believes the HinesShelf Unit & Extension is one of the most practical and useful prefabricated products that has come out in the postwar period. Its many salient features are:

3. With combination of Regular Units and Extension Units you build shelves 3',6',9' or 12' long and 3', 6' or 9' high.

4. Uses are unlimited. Fit a whole wall or any specific area. Ideal for office, stores, stockrooms, rn'arehouses, laboratories, factories, or in the home.

5. Carton packed. Easy to stock, easy to handle, easy to deliver-easy to sell.

The Edward Hines Lumber Company, who are among the largest manufacturers of PJnderosa Pine, can see no change in the sl-rortage of shelf lumber for sometime.

Santa Fe Lumber Co. Offices to be Moved to Fifu Buildins July 1.

Announcement of their move to new offices in the Fife Building, 1 Drumm Street, San Francisco, July 1, has been made by Santa Fe Lumber Company.

A. J. "Gus" Russell, manager of the Santa Fe Lumber Co., in speaking of the move, made necessary by the lease of the Santa Clara Building, 16 California Street, by the Waterfront Employers Association, said: ,

"In another month we would have been 40 years in the 16 California Street Building.

"We'rvere burned out of the Rialto Building in the San Francisco fire of April 18, 1906. Our first office after the fire rvas in a stable on Berry Street," Mr. Russell recalled humorously. "In fact my private office rn'as in Stall No. 3.

"In November 1906 we moved to the Alpha Building, a one-story u'ooden structure at Sacramento and Drurnm Streets, a site norv occupied by the Drumm St. Garage. It is interesting to recall that the partitions in that building vr,'ere made of doors, lumber being scarce and doors being plentiful at the moment. Earthquake action sank the building to rvhere onlv five feet appeared above the street. "Our telephone number in the stable of6ce was Temporary 2074, an exchange put in during the period immediately after the fire. This number was changed to Kearny 2074, and later to the present EXbrook 2074."
