Obtcin Rcquiremcntr from E*ablirhcd Officc in San Jorc

Trade Sourcer, Says H. R. Northup

Washington, D. C., May Z4-There need be no gray market in building materials if buyers will follow a steadfast policy of obtaining their rc<luirements fronr established tradc s<lurces and refusing to deal with those who attempt to profit from temporary krcal shortages, H. It. Northup, exccutivc vice-president of thc National Retail Lumber Dealcrs Association, stated Tuesday.

"'l'hc gray markets which have suddenly developed in sornc localities, according t<l recent rep()rts, are the result of thc fact that the volume of new housing construction has bccn cxcee<ling all expectations," Mr. Northup said.

"Stirnulatcd by the easiest credit terms ever offered, the number of housing starts has bcen running more than .50 per cent ahcad of a year ago and fully one-third higher than had bcen predicted by any of the experts, in or out of government. As a result of the uncxpectedly high demand, some matcrials are in short supply, notably gypsum board and lath, millrvork, an<l somc grades clf lurnber.

"The gray market appears when buyers are rvilling to pay more than the established price in order to get quick delivery, rather than wait for supplies to reach normal, legitimate trade channels.

"'l'hc gray n.rarket ol)erator is an opportunist tvho steps in aud buys up quantities of scarce materials rvith the idea of reselling them at an exhorbitant price. The one way to elirninate him and his practices is to refuse to deal with him.

"Manufacturers of many materials already are steppingup their production to meet the increased demand rvhich developed so suddenly, but it takes time to get the added production out through distribution channels to the yards of tlre nation's 27,n0 retail materials dealers.

"As recently as March 31, inventories of lumber in the hands of retail materials dealers rvere 5.3 per cent higher than on the same date in 1949, although sales in March were 24 per cent greater than in March, 1949. Only in the Midclle Atlantic, East South Central, and Pacific regions was there a decrease as compared with the year before and none of the regional declines exceeded 5 per cent."

Earl Hoffman Company, wholesale lunrber dealcrs, with home office in Los Angeles since 1919, recently opened an officc in the Burrell Building, San Jose, Calif.

W. A. Magee is manager of the San Jose office, and Ilay Ir. Mangini is salesman, covering the Northcrn California tcrritory.

Thc telephone number at the new office is CYprcss 5-8854.

W. A. Magee is an old timc lumllcrman, wlto was captain of lumber schooners, and who rvas bar pilot at the Itort of San Francisco for rnany years.

Ray Mangini is a well known lumberman, who was a salesman for Rolando I-unrber Co., San Francisco, for about 20 years.

I'larl Hoffman, in referring to the location of the new of6cc in San Jose, said they had given much thought to the matter, and made the decision to do this, as it saves a lot of driving in covering the sales territory, and recognizes the importance of San Jose as a fast growing industrial and residcntial city.

Announces Retirement ol A. P. Green

The Celotex Corporation announces the retirement of A. P. Green, architectural representative in the corporation's New York branch, after nearly 22 years of service.

Mr. Green is succeeded by William L. Gates who has been his assistant and W. H. Pritchard. formerly a sales representative in the same branch.

I\{any of the readers of The California Lumber Merchant have inquired as to the subject of the beautiful picture used by Western Hardwood Lumber Co. in their advertisement on the outside front cover of May 15 issue.

The picture is of St. Timothy's Church at the corner of Beverley Glen and Pico Boulevards, Los Angeles. Photograph is by Ernie H. Heusser, Los Angeles. Philippine Mahogany panels are used throughout the church, as well as in the door.

. By pricing yourself out of the market? or, by absorbing them out of normal profits or by utilizing modern production line methods and equipment to effect greater economies. Ve believe the answer is as obvious to you as it was to us. But, to trim our operating and handling cosrs we had to vastly increase our manufacturing efficiency. Instead of handling Redwood lumber in broken lors, we had to switch to standard units, stating at the green chain and ending at the loading and shipping platform. Out of .this change has come m^ny benefits for our dealers and their customers. Today, we are able to maintain the highest degree of uniformity in both grade and quality, which makes palco euality Redwoodthe finest that is produced, at no extra premium in price.

By the way, Skelton, on his Sunday evening radio program, is continually ribbing and needling Truman. During the time the President \ilas on his recent barnstorming tour, a straight man said to Skelton, "State the facte." And Skelton said, "Wait till I get the family out on the rear platform."

Tommy Trindler, most popular comedian of the London stage, is now in this country doing night club entertaining.

"Slapeie" Maxie Rosenbloom gets credit for the neatest niftie anyone has handed the Great Lover. Rosenbloom, as most of you know, is ex-light-heavyweight champion of the boxing world, and something of a comedian in his own right. He was introduced to Pinza, and they became friends. Pinza admired the most unusual character of this rough-and-tumble comedian from the fighting ranks, and said to him, "Why don't you get into a big Broadway show and make a lot of money like I did?" And "Slapsie" Maxie replied, "I ain't old enough." * *

When Maxie was light-heavyweight champion of the world, he was fast, clever, and marvelous on defense, but he hated to train. One day his manager came to him and reported that he could get him a big fight with a big purse attached, but only on condition that he'd train and get in good condition. Maxie said, "All right, pal, I'll train; I'll get my hair cut, and sleep with the window open." That was his idea of training. Yet nobody ever was able to knock him out. But his reply to Pinza nearly knocked Pinza out. tl. ,* *

Television is the biggest word in the American domestic picture today. Millions of sets being manufactured all over the land, and millions being constantly added to the list of fans. Kids go nuts about them. Which has already raised the serious question among educators of the possible effect of television-watching on children. One famous teacher has gone on record as remarking that no child who passes his time watching television, will ever pass another grade in school. * * *

Fred Allen, sour-puss radio comedian, who is openly critical of the new television craze, is credited with a sage remark. He said, "The 16-inch screen is taking the place of the five-foot shelf." The Harvard Classics five-foot shelf of books has long been considered a thorough education. *. * tl.

yeer! in furnirhing the material for radio cabinctr. So, in thc battle that har now ttartcd between radio and telc' vision-a battlc that may be to thc finirh of one of themthe hardwood indurtry standt at the ringride and applaude bothgladiatorr.

Will tclcvision deetroy radio and movies? This queation ie debated continually these daye, as the television uFtwcep gains momentum. One thing is certain: televigion is in itg infancy, is just getting fairly started. What it wiU accomplirh in the way of new and novel entertainment ie of course problematical, but there seems much justification for the claims of even the greatest of televigion brags. It ie generally reported that movie theatres are plainly showing the effects of television competition, and that radio is doing the same, although you can't count noseE in radio like you can in theatres.

We have already had reports from various parts of the country that television competition has cut down attendance at boxing matches, wrestling arenas' baseball and football games, as well as in theatres. In Los Angeles one of tfie big wrestling arenas cut out their programs until they could get rid of television, which they claimed was killing attendance'

The television comics are kidding the radio boys, and vice versa. The air waves are full of it. It's a merry battle. Television has revived actors who seemed to be permanently dead and buried until this fickering picture machine came along. Joe E. Lewis, night club champ, cracks, "Well, television has finally discovered me; they're trying to sell me a set.tt

And there are many indications that the very dumb movie industry has seen some frightening signs on the wall, for it is working hard on the sympathies of the public. "Movies are better than ever," is the sign you read in all the movie theatres now. As a fan who is a sucker for good movies, I rise to remark that I wish it were true. Unfortunately it isn't so. Yes, sir, I'm a movie fan from who laid the chunk. I go to at least two movies a week, and the only reason I don't go to more is because good entertainment in the movie houses is so regrettably scarce. Lamentably scarce.

It is my honest opirrioi ail", iroa more than one out of

every ten movier I go to, ir worth eithcr my timc or my moncy. I often agree with the critic who raid that a movic hero ir a man who can rit through one.

But I'm an incurable optimilt. I keep right on going. Hope certainly eprings eternal in the breaet of the human who pays his money at e movie theatre window, and then walks in expecting to feel as happy, as inspired, ar stimulated, as amused, or as enthused, aa when hc wcnt in.

At a tea party a woman was relating some tragic matters ehc had come upon among her ncighbors. Another spoke up and said, "Please don't tell any more. The Lord knows there's enough misery and unhappiness in the moviee without having it in real life, too." *

The lady had something. In fact, she had the key to the movie problem. I could tell you what's wrong with the movies, but it would fill the rest of this book. The trouble is at the top of the industry. The thinking departmcnt is unbelievably weak. Great improvement has come to the industry in many lines. Marvels of mechanics have been wrought. And below the top level, I have great respect for the industry. But the executive department, where all the waste, and extravagance, and horrible bad taste originates, is to blame for so many bad movies. It's a long story.

Over the air the other night, I heard this one: a man was teaching his young son to cuss and swear. Said he was training him to be President.

Plywood Compcrny Moves Ollice To Portland

The Oregon-Washington Plywood Co. announced reccr.rtly the rcmoval of its general sales office from Tacoma, \\rashington, to 1002 U.S. National Rank 13uilding, Portland 4, Oregon.

The general offices and mill are at Garibaldi, Oregon. This company is represented in Southern California by W. W. Wilkinson. 6214 West Manchester Avenue, Los Angeles 45.

Fire Dcrmqges Pcrlo Alto Ycrrd

Fire destroyed the mill building and about 35,000 feet of lumber in the yard of Traynor & Silver Lumber Company in South Palo Alto, June 3. The origin of the fire has not been determined.

Awhile you may live and work hundreds or thousands of miles from Associated Plywood mills in Oregon, the chances arcvery good that APMI exteriortype and interior-type panels are quickly available in your own area.

For, in addition to company-owned warehouses in St. Louis, Dallas and San Francisco, there are other sales warehouses in maior building and distribution centers.

These regional depots stock plywood that is grademarked and, trademarked; assurance that regardless of where you buy APMI plywood, you get the guaranteed products of a pioneer manufacturer in the industry.

Equally important-you get the services of experienced plywood men. They welcome your inquiries for general informadon, for prices, for delivery schedules.

Thc Mrhogtny Outlook Junc, 1950

By George N. Lomb, Secretory-Monoger MohoganY Associotion, lnc'

I-et's take a quick backward look befnre we talk about the future. F'irst we can say definitely that the Mahogany industry has not ftrlly returned to normal since the scarcity of Mahogany logs from Africa. This shortage was acute from September 1949 through February of this year' IJnprecedented rains and tl'ren a political strike on the Gold boast were the reasons for that shortage' Except for a very large inventory of Mahogany veneer at the beginning of the shortage of African logs, the situation would han-e lreer', vcry serious. As it was, inventories went down but shipments held up' Thus, many favored items were in very short suPPlY.

Log shipments were resumed in March on a substantial basis and production for that month was the best since May 1948. This would have eased the situation materially except that March vcneer shillments reached record-breaking proportions. Increasing log shipments from the Gold Coart rhould produce veneer to meet current demands in the very near future. There is plenty of Mahogany available on- the African West Coast and it's only a matter of stepping up production to meet increased demand'

Since the first of January the Mahogany lumber situation has followed a rather steady pattern of balanced production and shipmer-rts' Demand for Mahogany lumber has been better than dttring the last half of 1949 but no runarvay market has developed. The secrlnd quarter of the year is traditionally the low ebb in Mahogany production. Last year's logs have been converted and the current season's production has not yet begun to arrive in volume. With a normal season in Central and South America it appears that the supply will take care of demand' This certainly will be the case if the furniture market experiences the usual mid-summer lull.

The prospects for Mahogany production in the tropics at this time appear to be normal. Political and economic conditions are always a factor, usually a hazard in Mahogany production. Even so, the weather is the overall determin-

ing factor in Mahogany production. That is entirely un' pridictable, except on the basis of the law of averages'

In the furniturl industry Mahogany will occupy its usual lxrsition in furniture of the medium and better grades but ivith modern design or modified traditional making moderate advances. New and better finishes will show up here and there. These mostly will be in the middle range between the standard traditional finishes and the bleached finishes in modern designs. Improvement will be particularly apparent in lower priced Mahogany furniture'

We cattn"t speak fulty on the Mahogany outlook without considering the closely allied industry-television' 'fhis rapidly expanding industry for the most part rerluires a .ulin.t that is really a piece of furniture. As a matter of fact, a goodly num,ber of TV cabinets are being procured by furniture factories since the demand for cabinets has far outrun the capacity of specialists in radio and TV cabinets to suPPly them.

Television is already a very important factor in the demand for Mahogany llut it would be a rash person who would predict how fast it will go from here and when the market will reach the saturation,point. It is rather unfortunate in some respects that the TV industry has a strong preference for the same types of Mahogany veneer that are in most demand for furniture.

It is also true that for sales training purposes' there has been an unprececlentecl clemand for The Mahogany Book, "Facts to Help You Sell Mahogany" and for the color sound film "Mahogany . Wood of the Ages'" Soon this film will be available in a 30 minute version as well as in the original 43 minute version.

William H. C. Cook has joine<l the design staff of The Parraffine Companies, Inc., San Francisco, it was announced toclay by A. E. Lawrence, Pabco's style director' Cook will specialize on the styling of building materials and paints manufactured by the company'

Madera, S.A., is a Mexican corporation using United States capital and technical experience, which plans to start operations about August next with two new Mexican sawmills that will cut about 100,000 feet daily.

They have contracted with holders of a 75,000-acre forest concession in Baja, California, to cut three billion .feet of Ponderosa and Jefiery pine from this tract, which lies about about 150 miles South of the border. A major factor in the development of this great timber tract has been the completion of paved and graded highways, which will give the output of the mills direct transportation into Southern California, and it is expected that most of the better grades of lumbef produced will be marketed in the United States.

The address of this manufacturing concern is Madera S.A. care Daniel Dupree, Edificio California, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.

New Door

After several months of design experiments and tests, the new Hasko Solid Kor exterior grade flush door has been introduced to the trade. It is made by the Haskelite Manufacturing Corporation, Grand Rapids 2, Michigan, builders of the Hasko Ar'ch-Kor hollow core door. The door is said to have a high warp resistance, and is produced in four standard sizes. May be furnished with cutouts for glazing.

"'We have discovered lumber in the Atlantic seaboard area," Brown stated, "that has been grade marked with fraudulent stamps. We have already secured one conviction against a New Jersey company who indulged in this criminal pastime. It was grading No. 3 common lumber with badty forged No. I stamps, and gouging innocent buyers for the difierence in price between the two grades."

West Coast bureau stamps are registered with the U. S' Patent Office and use of these stamps by unauthorized persons is illegal'

"We are proud of the high integrity of our grading," Brown stated emphaticallY, "and we intend to continue these high standards."

"The law provides serious criminal penalties," the Bureau chief warned, "for fraudulent use of the Association's grade marks. We intend, whenever the facts justify it, to take all action possible to prosecute those guilty of violating the provisions of the criminal statutes applicable to fraudulent grade marking."

"We will not rest," Brown charged, "until we have stopped any user of forged West Coast grading stamps and realized suitable punishment."

Brown said that some evidence had developed that fraudulent stamps of the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau were also being illegally used in the New York area' He said these stamps were likewise protected by trade mark and patent.

M.y Building Totah Reach Record Mark

Washington, June 3-A new construction record surpassing even the seasonal peaks of the fall of 1948 and 1949 was reported to<lay for the month of May by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

New construction valued at more than $1,900,000,000 was started in May-l4/o more than the April estimate and 23/o more than the May,1949, total. Further expansion in private home-building activities accounted for nearly half of the advance.

During the first five months of 1950, the total value of all types of new construction was nearly $8,100,000,000, 2l/o more than the total for the corresponding period of t949.

"It is gratifying to note the continued increase that each y"", ,..t in the use of hardwood plywood in houses, stores' and office buildings, and also the advantage that is being taken more and more to install fine hardwoods in their natural colors." So spoke Don F. White, vice president and general manager of White Brothers, who have been in the h-ardwood lumber business in San Francisco since 1872.

Mr. White continued, in answer to a few questions by a represcntative of The California Lumber Merchant: "l'he naiural colors of hardwoods on walls create an atmosphere that cannot be obtained in any other way' Colors are important in our daily lives, probably more important than most people realize. Colors can stimulate or soothe, a fact that has been recognized by interior decorators for decades past.

"The natural coloring of wood provides the vehicle to create atmosphere. The soft mellowness of old oak is restful for densf dining rooms' or libraries. The warmth of genuine mahogany is soothing and comforting, and is ideal ior living rooms or reception roonrs. Some woods create an inwaid excitement through their color stimulus even though it may not be recognized as such by an individual' Some of the blond woods suggest austerity, and as such can be used for store fixtures where expensive apparel is displayed. -

'iThe opportunities are limitless for the combinations that are possiLie with the fine hardwood panels that are available today. Teak, from faraway Burma, for instance, is a man's wood, has a color and figure that appeal strongly to the masculine sense, and makes an excellent interior finish for a man's office or den, or a suitable background for sporting trophies."

Lumber Research Finds Blue Stain ls Not Decay

Bv Dt. A. \fl. Stout, Chemist

\Uestern Pine Associction Research Loborotory

Acccptability of stained lumber has been one of the most controversial issues in Western Pine dealer-manu' facturer relationships since logging of the three pine species began.

The dealer has been naturally reluctant to take delivery of soiled stock which appeared to him, and to his customer, to be in the first stages of progressive decay. The manufacturer on the other hand, beset by the unavoidable occurrence of blue and,/or brown stain in the manufacturing process, and knowing it was not decay, has not been anxious to mark down his product-perfect in all other respects-whcn in most cases the stain was to be covered by paint anyway.

The controversy raged about the question "Is stain decay or is it not?" with side issues concerning the paint' holding, nail-holding, split resistance, dryness, hardness, softness and other properties of the rvood, regardless of the alleged decay feature.

Essentially a technical problem, it eventually wound up in the Western Pine Association's Research Laboratory at Portland, Ore., for clarification. Without relating the interminable mass of scientific test detail that has been reported, here is what we learned about stains in lumber:

First, brown stain-which occurs more widely in Sugar Pine'than in Ponderosa or Idaho White Pine-is far less frequentty found in the three pines than is blue stain' It occurs both in sapwood and heartwood,

There are two kinds of brown stain, one a chemical proccss, the other fungus-caused. Approxigrately 95 per cent is caused by chemical change in the drying Process' It is due to the oxidation and/or carmelization of certain mirror soluble carbohydrate constituents during seasoning, particularly in the kiln drYing'

It is not, therefore, decay or a rotting process at all but simply a stain like that which an overturned cup of cofice might make on a tablecloth. Not a single use property of lumber is affected.

The balance of the brown stain, amounting to no more than five per cent, is caused by a non-parasitic fungus that dcvclops occasionally in stored logs. It is similar to the fungus that causes blue stain.

The agents causing blue stain, oc'curring at certain seasons of the year in all three of the Western Pines, are microscopic plants that grow within the rvood, obtaining tl.reir nourishment from the soluble materials of the wood cells, but not upon the cellulose or lignin which comprise

the wood's structural components. In other words, not upon the cells themselves.

(De'cay, on the other hand, is caused by organisms which attack the cellulose or lignin to break down wood,s structure.)

Stain fungi, thriving only upon water soluble nutrients, are present only in the sapwood where those materials are available. Stain does not occur in heartwood, nor does it begin in the living tree. It originates only after logs have been sawn, from tiny fungal spores which are almost universally distributed by air currents.

(Decay may exist at any point in the tree or finished lumber, since it destroys cellulose and lignin, and may originate ,before or after the tree is delled.)

Stain fungus, existing only on water soluble materials, continues to grow only so long as the lumber is green. It stops growing when lumber is dried. The color of the stain is not even part of the wood, but only of the fungus itself.

Therefore, like the chemical brown stain, fungus-caused blue and brown stain is, in total effect upon the lumber, no different from that coffee-colored mark on the table_ cloth. Since the fungi do not live upon the wood's struc_ tural elements, stain cannot act upon wood,s strength, no matter how deep its penetration nor how broadly it covers the piece. And, since it does not affect wood's structure, it cannot influence its paint-gripping qualities, nor any of its other use values su,ch as nail-holding ability, resistance to splitting, texture, etc.

Put another way, stain fungi might be likened to the

small fish which accommodates the whale by swimming into its mouth to extract bits of superfluous food from the monster's teeth, but harming neither the whale nor the molars. The fungi feed upon water soluble nutrients which nourished the living tree but which are of 'no value to the manufactured lumber.

It can only follow, then, that stained lumber is sound lumber, suitable for any of the many purposes to which stain-free stock is put. Moreover, stained lumber can be merchandised by the alert dealer because it's enchantingly different.

The delicate blue shading scattered at random over the face of the board provides a pleasing informal pattern that cannot be duplicated. Known as marble grain paneling, it ,commands premium prices from discerning home builders by merchandising-minded retailers.

Opporcr Rcgplation of Privrtc Forcrt Managcmcnt by Fcdcral Control

In a referendum held May 26 by the Socicty ttf American Iioresters, a nrajority of the menrbers v<lting went on record as opposing regulation of private forest tnanagement by the federal government.

'l'he specific question on which the vote was taken by mail ballot was as follows: "Shall the Society of American Forestcrs through its Council favor or oppose the principle of federal regulation of private forests, and federal legislation looking to the establishment of this principle?"

Of. 3,652 valid ballots cast, 2,545 nrembers voted to oppose, and 1,107 voted to favor the principle of federal regulation About 4O percent of those eligible to vote did not return ballots.

Organized in Washington, D.C., in 1900, the Society of American Foresters is a professional organization of technically trained foresters with 6,500 members.

In commeting on this referendum, Charles F. Evans of Atlanta, Georgia, president of the Society, said, "It should be noted that the referendum did not cover the general principle of regulation of private forests and, therefore, leaves the questi<ln open as to whether the members now favor regulation by state or other local units of government. A previous referendum held in 1944 and approved by a substantial majority vote endorsed 'in principle public regulation to the extent necessary in each local situation to prevent destruction of forests and to keep forest lands reasonably productive.'"

The present merchantable stand of Idaho White Pine is estimated at 17 billion board feet.

Commercial Ugeg of Englemlnn Spruce

nishes makes it ideal for fabricated products such as picture frames, toys, novelties, etc.

A simple listing of the properties of Engelmann Spruce gives a key to its versatility in use' At 12-15 per cent moisture content, it weighs 23 pourr<ls per cullic foot-one of the lightest of the comnlercially important softwoods' Dried frorn a green state to 12-15 per cent moisture, its volumetric shrinkage is only 5.2 per cent. Specific gravity is .33 at 12 per cent, making it one of the lcast dense of the softwoods and one of the bcst insulators.

The wood is relatively strong for its light weight' It is straight grained, does not split or warp easily and machines well to a smooth, silken surface. Texture is soft and uniform. Nail-holding ability is comparable to the western pines and it takes and holds paints an<l other covering arrd coloring treatmcnts with rcmarkablc facility.

'I'hc u,o<lrl is odortess an<l tasteless, fitting it for use in footl containers. It is ratcd in the topmost group of all softwoods in ability to takc arrtl hold glues.

Ilut perhaps the most otttstitn<ling featurc of lingelmann Spruce lumbcr ft-rr finish work is its bright appcarance. .I'ale of{-rvhite in color and bearing light color knots, the woo<l is highly dcsired for paneling in modern homes u,hcre pastel tints are popular. The brightness of the knots means that even lo'rver grade commons have a smooth appearance.

Englemann Spruce, an unheralded member of the associated woods of the Western Pines, is all too freqtrently overlooked by lumber buyers. Coml>ining versatility with ccononry, it is one clf finest gencral utility species available in the country today.

Possessing neither the brutc strength of I)ouglas Fir nor the production volurne to gain it the popular favor of the three Western Pines, Engelmann Spruce is nevertheless adaptable to many of the construction, industrial and specialty purposes of the better known species.

For light f raming, sheathing, subflooring, scafiolding, roof decking and other miscellaneous building uses, it furnishes good service at minimum cost. Light in weight and easy to handle, it finds a host of industrial ttses. Its exceptionally light color and adaptability to paints and var-

Its uses in residential construction extend from sheathing to sicling and into paneling, woodwork and built-ins. Readily handled and worked on the job, it is excellent for carpcnter-built flour and sugar bins, food 'containers, bread lloards, cloths chests, china closets, shelving, tallle tops, kitchen cupboards, medicine chests, etc. It forms economical antl serviceable drop, bevel and bungalow siding because of its resistance to splitting and light coloring which requires fe'iver coats of paint to cover. It is well liked for rnoulding, casing, base, wainscoting and window frames.

Farmers like tight-knotted Engelmann Spruce boards for their versatility. Their light weight, split resistance and nail-holding ability fits them for gates, fencing hayrack bottoms, small enclosures, bracing and the myriad of other miscellaneous purposes about the farm.

The rvood has ideal physical and mechanical properties

for ,containers of all kinds. Its freedom from pitch, odor and taste makes it an excellent material for food containers for butter, lard meat, fish, eggs, bakery goods, crackers, candy, coffee, spices, etc.

In industry, Englemann Spru.ce is used for snow fencing, billboards, signs, theatre scenery strips, fence pickets, garden furniture such as gates, tables, benches, pergolas, arbors and trellis lattice. Carefully selected clear stock has been used successfully in airplane construction, musical instruments and other highly exacting uses.

Other miscellaneous articles into which Engelmann Spruce is fabricated include caskets and coffins, matches and toothpicks, patterns and flasks, picture frames, play_ ground equipment, shade and map rollers, tanks and silos, sporting goods, trunks and valises, and woodenware.

More than 30 million board feet of Engelmann Spruce are manufactured annually in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Standing sawtimber inventory is estimated at more than 25 billion feet. In the Western Pine Region Engelmann Spruce is manufactured with precision, carefully seasoned and is frequently avail_ able in mixed cars together with an assortment of the Western Pines.

Marking Your Books

He is a man who always likes to mark, The books he reads, with lines for emphasis, Calling attention to some rare remark. Which coincides, in point of view, with his'

He pencils heavily along a page, What strikes his fancy, or provokes his wit, And any though that he considers sage, Carries approving marks in front of it.

-Helen Rowland Prommel.

Imrnortclity

Immortality is a word that Hope, through the ages, has been whispering to Love. The miracle of thought, we cannot understand. The mystery of Life and Death, we cannot comprehend. This chaos called "World" has never been explained. The golden bridge of Life from gloom emerges, on shadow rests. Beyond this, we do not know. Fate is speechless. Destiny is dumb. And the secret of the future has never yet been told. We love, we wait, we hope; the more we love, the more we fear. Upon the tenderest heart the deepest shadows fall. All paths, whether filled with thorns or flowers, end here. Here Success and Failure are the same. The rag of wretchedness and the robe of power, all differences and distinctions lose in this democracy of Death. Character survives. Goodness lives. Love is immortal.

-Robt. G. Ingersoll

Impossible

A farmer from a small Southern town spent a glorious two Weeks vacation in New York. Returning home he kept his children agape with his stories about the wonders he'd seen in the big city.

Said one of his kids: "Father, weren't you afraid of getting lost?"

He said: "How could I be afraid of getting lost when I didn't care where f was?"

Ma and Pq

"Mother, are you the nearest relative I have?"

"Yes, Dear, and your father is the closest."

History Repects

The Grandsire sat in his easy chair, And hie laugh was a gurgling croak' When his grandson told of a monstrous fish, He had caught on his line which broke.

Then the old man gravely smiled, and said, "Dear boy, it wae large, I know, For I hooked that same old fish myself, Some 6fty years ago."

Dunces to Geniuses

Charles Darwin could never learn a language.

Napoleon was number 42 in his classyet we do not know the name of any of the 4l who were ahead of him.

Sir Isaac Newton was next to the lowest in his form. He failed in geometry because he did not do his problems the way the book said he should.

George Eliot learned to read with great difficulty, and gave no youthful promise of brilliance.

Oliver Goldsmith was the very bottom of his class.

Emerson was a hopeless dunce in mathematics.

James Watt, inventor of the steam engine, was the butt of his playmates in school.

All of which proves, probably, that you cannot distinguish genius at an early age, for most of the math wizards of youth are seldom heard of in after life'

'Ccneless

A reckless young lady from Delaware, Of the high cost of living was welaware. She said, I suppose I could save on my clothes For f don't care a cuss what the helaware.

Sword qnd Sccrles

All the law in the world has been obtained by strife' Every principle of law which obtains, had first to be wrung by force from those who denied it; and every legal rightthe legal rights of whole nations as well as those of individuals - suPposes a continual readiness to assert it and defend it. The law is not mere theorY, but living force' Hence it is that Justice, who in one hand holds the scales in which she weighs the right, carries in the other hand the sword with which she executes it. The scales without the sword is the impotence of law. The scales and the sword belong together, and the state of the law is perfect only where power with which Justice carries the sword, is equalled by the skill with which she holds the scales.

Rcdwood Atca Forcrt Indurtricc Form Council to Gct Clorr Public Coopcration

Ukiah, Calif., M'dy 24. Delegates representative of the forest industries of thc redrvood region tlret here today to form a council to eflect closcr cooperation with the public in the communitics u'hcrc they operate and own timller.

'l'he mceting was called by the California Redwood Association, but representation is not restricted to its rnembers, as it is planned to have the new body represent all factors in the industry concerned with the growth and processing of forests products in the redwood region, extending from the southern boundarv of Monterey County to the Oregon border.

The membership of the new organization is as follows: Derby Bendorf, 'l'he Pacific l-umber Company, Scotia; E.. E. Carriger, Santa Cruz Lumber Company, Santa Cruzi Russell lills, Willits Rcdwood Prodttcts Company, Willits; Jack Fairhurst, Fairhurst Lumber Company, Eureka; A. O. Lefors, I.Iammoncl Lumber Company, Samoa; !i. J. I-essard, Crag Lumber Company, Smith River; Robert Mathervs, Ilrizard-Mathews Machinery Company, Eureka; Fenwick C. Riley, Simpson Logging Cornpany, Klamath; Ray Shannon, IJnion l-umber Company, Fort Bragg; E. T. F. Wohlenberg, Masonite Corp., Ukiah.

At today's organization meeting, D. T. F. Wohlenberg u'as elected chairman and Ben S. Allen, California Redrri'ood Association, secretary of the Council.

In discussir-rg the policies and program of the Council, Chairman Wohlenberg said : "\Ve believe that tl-re responsibility for the use and perpetuation of our forest resources must remain {undamentally under the control of the privately owned timber and lumber industry. That is in our interest, bnt we are sure that it is equally in the public interest. Our chief job, then, is to team up our mutual interests. It is not feasible at the moment to adopt a complete rvorking program, but we do know that people are the instruments of good public relations, and rve want to work with them.

"Therefore rve will start immediately to encourage a movement already under way in two counties of the redwood region to set up Redwood Cir'cles. The purpose of these Circles is as important as it is simple: helping in the important task of assuring their communities of a stable and perpetual industry based on the cultivation and use o{

our forest lands. Membership is made easy. A circle member qualifies by believing in our free economy and believing that the private tim,ber and mill owner should exercise the primary rcsponsibility for both the use and preservation of our forest resources. There will be no attempt to tell these Circles what to do, but we wish to tell them what we are doing in our mutual interests' If the Circles on occasion want to tell us rvhat to do, I expect we will pay a lot of attention, sincc they will lre as interested in the success and well-being of our industry as we are.

"The Council is convinced that performance must precede publicity. That is rvhy we are not prepared to announce a formal program now. But work is to be started right now on a project of the most practical nature: support for the Tree Farm program under the auspices of the California l{edwood Association. The redwood region is coming a bit late into the Tree Farm movement, but we have every reason to expect that it rvill be a great success since the Redwood region is one of the best timber growing regions in the world.

"But, if Tree Farming is to lte a stlccess, fire must be kept out of the woods. That is why it will be another important job for the Cottncil to cooperate in controlling this terrible menace. We expect tt,r of{er our services to the California F'ire Prevention Committee which was formed under the auspices of the State Division of Forestry for this purpose.

"The public is just as interested as we are in making our theme, 'logs for today and trees for tomorrow' an assurance of the perpetuation of our forests for both use and beauty. That is why we want and confidently expect public suoport. It will be a grass roots-or perhaps better still, a tree roots-campaign, affecting both the communities where rve operate and the industry itself.

How Lumber Looks

(Continued frorn Page 2)

As we go to press there is no change in the strike situation at the seven operations of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. in Oregon and Washington. The CIO workers went out on May 15. The Weyerhaeuser strike means a loss of approximately 17,500,000 feet of lumber weekly or nearly l2/o on the Northwest's total production.

There is also a strike on at the Coos Bay I-umber Co. plant at Coos Bay, Ore.

New Housing Being Built TodaY Containc Many lmproved Features

Washingtort, l).

"Stal)ilization of home buil<ling costs lttr<l the incrcased nunrlrcr of rcntal units lrcing cotrstructcd also are contributing to tlte record-breaking demand," Mr. Northrup sai<|. "Ii;rvorable crcclit ternrs rvhich hold rlronthly charges to :r nrinimurn arc, of ctltlrsc, a decisive factor, but the basic valucs being built into ttcw dwellings is the principal firctor rvhich is attr:tctirrg nratt-v thottsands of families into to<lay's ncrv homes.

"Attractive credit tertrrs o{Ierecl under the FHA and Vr\ nrortgagc insurance progral'trs are only partly responsible for the great stcp-tlp in home building so far this year. The nunrlter <lf new hottles being financed n,ithout the aid of Federal insurance features also has shown an equally gre:tt increase over the first four months of last year.

"New housing being built today c<,rntains many improved features not commonly preser.rt in hon-res built in the period following World War L Today's homes contain more insulation and weather-stripping, more effrcient heating plants, larger window areas, nlore closet space, and many essential items of home equipment which were not inclrrded in the dwellings put up 25 an<l 30 years ago."

Flat Grain flooring is cut with, or on a tangent to, the annual growth ring. It may be equally as hard as vertical grain but does not have the even distribution of hard summer growth found in vertical grain stock and is generally lcss resistant to wear. Flat grain flooring costs less than vertical grain flooring and where not subjected to heavy wear, or where covered rvith carpet or linoleum, ser\-es the purpose well.

The call of the outdoors drew an increased number of campers and picnickers to California's l8 national forests last year, according to an annual report just released by the U. S. Forest Service regional office at San Francisco.

Itecreationists nlade 3,800,000 visits to these forests in 1949, statcd M. M, Barnum, recreation and lands chief. That included 1,100,000 visits to forest campgrounds' a gain of 8 per cent over the previous year.

The 531,000 visitors at picnic areas were a 16 per cent increase.

Organization catnps operating under special-use permit from the Iiorcst Scrvice drerv 145,000 youngsters and oldsters, a step-up of 13 Per cent.

Other uses showed these totals : winter sPorts areas, 533,000; resorts and hotels, 336,000; summer homes, 261,000; wilderness areas, 59,000; hunting and fishing areas' etc., 848,000.

Thc total of visits does not include an estimated 13 million motorists who traveled scenic forest rotltes.

A 31 per cent drop in winter sports use last year reflected the severe wintcr of early 1949 which blocked roads to ski areas on some weekends, Mr. Barnum said. This also contributed to a reduced business at forest resorts and hotels.

The 1,100 campgrounds in national forests in California are free, except for six, where a fee is being charged on an experimental basis.

No new campgrounds were established last year, and no existing campgrounds were enlarged, Mr. Barnum reported. Iixisting facilities were repaired, and some which had worn out were rPelaced.

"Danger of contaminated r,l'ater supply to forest campgrounds and picnic areas is the top problem at present," said Mr. Barnum. "At recluest of the Forest Service, the U. S. Public Health Service inspected many sources of water stlpplies in 1949. The inspections showed need for intensive action to protect the water supply from pollution. The Forest Service is using every means at its disposal to assure safe water at forest recreation areas. \Mhere a sa{e water supply is not available and a stream or lake is the source of supply, the area rvill be posted to warn the public of the Pollution danger."

Named Comrnittee Chcrirmqn

Following his election to the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the TJ.S. comes the news that Norman P. Mason. treasurer of the William P' Proctor Company, North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and past president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has been appointed chairman of the Chamber's highly important Construction and Civic Development Department committee.

This is the first time that a retail lumber dealer has been chosen to preside over this influencial committee which determines top-level policy for the entire construction industry.

Mr. Mason's selection for the post constitutes recognition of the important part which the retail lumber industry plays today in the national economic picture and of his distinguished past services to his industry.
