IN IHE WESII

"There can bc no compromiae, no half-way decision is conceivable. What we seek ir reign of law, based upon the conscnt of the governed, and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind."

(Specch bV Woodrow Wilron, July 4, 1918.)

Seems like the wiee words of President Woodrow Wileon, quoted above, might have considerable application to our present situation. After spilling buckets of blood and bags of money in Korea, it appears today as this is being typed, that we are threatened with the acceptance of the same stalemate that The Magnificent Mac warned against not long before he was recalled. *

One thing the MacArthur debate has done for a lot of people; it has improved their use of thc English language, and perhapo also their recollections of history. I know it has done both for me. The morc of his sayings and writings you read, the more you are convinced that the magnificence of his address to Congress in April was no flash in the pan. Back in 1935 he made an addresg to the famous Rainbow Division which he commanded in World War One, in which' he saidt

"Where are the empires of old? Where is Egypt, once a state on a high plane of civilization where a form of socialism prevailed and where the distribution of wealth was regulated? Where are the empires of the East and the Empires of the West which once were the shrines of wealth, wisdom, and culture? Where are Babylon, Persia, Carthage, Rome, and Byzantium? They all fell, never to rise againannihilated at the hands of a more warlike and aggressive people. Their cultures, memories-their cities, ruins.

"We all dream," he continued, "of the day when human conduct will be governed by the Decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount. But as yet it is only a dream. No one desires peace as much as the soldier, for he must pay the greatest penalty in war. Our army is maintained solely for the preservation of peace, or for the restoration of peace after it has been LOST BY STATESMEN, OR OTHERS."

Was there prophecy, do you*suppose, in that last line?

John Temple Graves, who writes a syndicated newspaper column circulated in the South-a very clever and scholarly column by the way-recently dug up for readers such as myself, a speech that was made more than two thousand years ago by a great general of that time, the gist of which seems quite pertinent and timely even now.

He waa General Lucius Acmilius Paulus. who, 168 years before Chrirt, war selccted to conduct the war of Rome against thc Macedonians. His public address at that moment was reported by thc Roman historian, Livy. Perhaps thc following selcctione from that addregs will interest manY: i i

"In every circle, and, truly, at evcry table, there are people WHO LEAD ARMIES INTO MACEDONIA. (Don't you know, Junior, that the old boy had his tongue in hie cheek when he said that?) They know where the camp ought to be placed; what posts ought to be occupied by troops; when and through what pass that territory should be entered; where magazines should be formed; how provisions should be covered by land and sea; and when it is proper to engage the enemy. and when to lie quiet. And they not only determine what is bcst to be done, but if anything is done in any other manner than what they have pointed out, they arraign the Consul as though he were on trial before ,T-;

"What, then, is my opinion? That commanders should be counselled chiefy by persons of known talent; by those who have made the art of war their particular study, and whose knowledge is derived from experience; from those who are present at the scene of action, who see the country, who see the enemy, who see the advantages that occasions offer, and who, like people embarked in the same ship, are sharers of the danger. ,* :k

"If, therefore, anyone thinks himself qualified to give advice respecting the war which I am to conduct, which may prove advantageous to the public, let him not refuse his assistance to the state, BUT LET HIM COME WITH ME INTO MACEDONIA. He shall be furnished with a ship, a horse, a tent; even his traveling charges shall be defrayed. But, if he thinks this too much trouble and prefers the repose of a city life to the toils of war, let him not on land, assume the office of a pilot. The city itself furnishes abundance of topics for conversation; let it confine its passion for talking within its own precincts, and rest assured that we shall pay no attention to any counsels but such as shall be framed w*ithin our camp."

That's what the old warrior said; he said that. By the way, the "old soldiers never die" wave grows bigger as the comics and comedians both amateur and professional use it for a basis for fun-making. On Milton Berle's TV show, the stuttering comedian, Joe Frisco, put it this way: "Old generals never die, they just stay and testify." A column in the New Orleans Times-Picayune said this:

"Old roldier! may ncvcr dic; but onc of thcm will bc haunt' ing Harry for a long timc." Hank Symondr, writing in the Lor Angeler Newr !ay!: "'Old roldiere nevcr dic,' but there'r cvidence eplenty, the oner who do thc dying are 18-19-20. I romctimcg think to help cnd war!, and kccp our kids alive, the draft age should be broadencd from lE to 95."

Late in the "merry month of May" there was a big national pow-wow in Denver, Colorado, of the Democratic big-wigs. They talked political prospects, of course, and Chairman Boyle of the Democratic National Committee loaded the reports with optimistic predictions. There is a great reaction, he said, in the MacArthur-Truman controvcrry, and the public is swinging back to the administration, and prospects look fine for Democratic victory next year. Looked from the reports like things were picking up for the reccntly ragged-run Trumanites. Yes, sir, things sure looked good.

And during the same week that the boys were making medicine of thc Missouri kind at Denver, there were other happenings that didn't seem to fully agree with the Denver

FAN

rcportt. Down in Hourton, Texaq one of the mort heavily Dcmocretic citier in thc nation, the Hourton Chronicle conductcd a poll and adrcd itr rcedcrr to votc on who thcy thought war right, MacArthur on the one'hand, or the Truman-Achcron cliquc on the other. The publilhcd rc' turns ahowcd that 10,E69 pcople voted in the poll, MacArthur gctting a little over 10,(XX) vote3, and his opposition 816 all togethcr. At the rame time the Shrcveport Times, published in Shreveport, Louiriana, conducted a rimilar poll, and there, in the deepest part of the "Deep and Democratic South," it was even morc one-eided. The total votes cast amounted to !4,477, of which MacArthur got 14,107, and hie opposition got just 370. When you stop to consider that at least 95 per cent of the voters in both polls were old-timey Democrats, it is rather atartling, isn't it?

A.F.P.I. Adds Second Man in West

Arnerican Forest Products Industries has appointed Richard C. Gearhart, formerly with the Michigan Department of Conservation, to manage its Western regional office.

Harold Olson, A.F.P.I.'s only representative in the area for the past seven years, becomes chief of the forestry organization's Western Nervs Burean.

In announcing I\[r. Gearhart's appointment as Western manager, Charles A. Gillett, managing director of A.F.P.I., paid high tribute to the West's forest industries. "Today the Pacific Coast states-Oregon, California and Washington-lead the nation in lumber production. Washington is the national leader in production of plyr'r'ood and wood pulp. Nor,,,'here in America is there a more alert and progressive group of forest industries tl.ran in the West," Mr. Gillett declared.

No other red,wood can compare with the high uniform quality of Palco Redwood. Quality control starts at the headrig and carries right through each step in the mill and manufacturing process. Logs are selectively cut to secure the finest texture and grain. Scientific air drying is followed by carefully regulated kiln seasoning. Mechanized handling eliminates mars, scars and blemishes. Complete and thorough inspection and grading by experienced experts, af.ter running to pattern, eliminates flaws and imperfections-and insures more uniformly even grade. This unequalled efficiency assures premium quality-at no premium in price. There's no better buy-no better quality than Palco Redwood, the finest that's produced.

The Boy md the Turtle

My granddaughter, Gay Brurnon, agc 8, ir bccoming ae enthuriartic a rtory-teller ar hcr Grandpa, and docr a vcry good job of it, Her favorite yarn, which she tcllg on all occasionr when her parentt permit her to entertain viritors at home, is one rhe heard Bob Burne tcll on television, and it goes likc thir:

Littte Willie was six yeare old when someone made him a prescnt of a live turile, one of thesc little toy fellows not much biggcr around than a silver dollar, with the name "Tomie" painted on its back.

The little turtle became an obsession with the little boy, who fixed up a nice glass bowl for it to live in, with a fat rock in thc center on which the turtle could rest. The boy spent most of his waking hours for a while just playing with the turtle, and when he went to bed at night he put the turtle bowl on a table right close to his bed where he could see it the first thing in the morning. But one day when he woke he was shocked to discover that Tomie the turtle was lying on his back on the rock in the bowl, all

four feet in thc air, and looking very dcad indecd.

Willie war inconrolable. He cried and wcpt and took on so about his dear turtle that his mother had to aend for his father to try and etop his grieving. The father said: "Don't cry any more Willie, and I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll give Tomic a wondcrful funeral, and a party to go with it. Wc'll use thig nice silver cigarette case for a coffin for Tomie, and wc'll dig him a grave in thc yard right outsidc your window wherc you can see it all the time. Wc'll build a pretty fence around the grave, and put Tomie's name on it to remember him by. And we'll have a farewell party for Tomie. We'll call in all the neighbor kids, and we'll serve ice cream, and lemonade, and cake, and give Tomie a grand farewell. What do you say?"

Willie was all smiles at the prospect of the grand party, so they went in his room to get Tomie; and what do you know? There was Tomie, swimrning around in his bowl, lively as could be. And little Willie looked at him in shocked surprise, and said: "LET'S IKILL HIM !"

Charles G. Bird, retired lumberman and prominent alxl popular citizen of Stockton, California, has been a member and chairman of the Selective Service (draft) Board No. 32 in his home town since 1940. When the news got out the other day that he had written Lewis B. Hershey, Director of the U.S. Selective Service System, resigning his conncction with the Board, his friends in Stockton were curiotts to know why. So he showed them copy of his letter of resignation, which w:ls so hot that it fairly sizzled the paper it was typed on. Soon the Stockton Record had pul>lished the story, then the San Francisco Examiner ran it, and it went out over the radio in all directions. Mr. Bird's excoriation of the Administration at Washington was what made it hot copy.

In his letter, Mr. Ilird called attention to the fact that he lrad gladly and willingly been on catl night and day for eleven years as an uncompensated member of his draft board, but the time had come when l-re must resign, "feeling as I do," he said, "about the manner in which our political and military matters are being handled by, in my opinion, the most incompetent administration this country has ever suffered und-.r."

Then he proceeded to dctail his grievances against the powers in Washington. He objected to our contributing money and materials to the British Empire and other nations who have been shipping goods to our enemies to

help kill off our boys. He criticized the United Nations for failing to carry their fair share of the load of the Korean War. He criticized the conduct of the Korean War, and ttre refusal of thc Governtnent to accept sound advice aiming at the winning of that rvar. He criticized the Administration because "higher-ups and their stooges" apPear to defend traitors and perjurers of the Hiss type' And he concluded:

"I can rro longer have any part in sending any more of the creanl of our youth to any foreign land to be slaughtered as sacrifices to the arnbition of unprincipled politicians or their adherents. I therefore submit my resigrratiort."

It is conrpetently reportcd that a storm of congratulations that lasted for many days, came to Mr. Bird when the fitcts concerning his resignation became knorvn.

Uncthicd Prrcticc3 Hit Bv FHA Dirtdct Dircctor

I)roperty owners who contemplate repairing, remodeling, modernizing or installing eligible equipment, again rvere warned against racketeering contractors by John Ii. Mc Govern, FHA District Director.

He pointed out that if financing is needed, loans for such purposes are available under the FHA property improvement plan. Also, he said, there are many reliable dealers. co.ntractors and suppliers rvho do satisfactory u'ork :tt a fair price.

"IJnfortunately, there are a ferv unreliable and unscrttpulous operators," Mr. Mc Govern said. These unethical dealers make various approaches. They make over-statements as to the merits of the product and stipulatc guilr:ttltees beyond those of the manufacturer.

"They also promise cash bonttses on repeat sales irt the neighborhood, stating that your house rvill be used as a model and that your payments will be macle from these cash bonuses."

Other examples of deliberate deception cited by NIr. I\Ic Govern, involve such practices as inducing a prospect to sign a blank credit application and in obtaining the borrower's signature on a completion certificate before the work is actually completed.

"It is against such dealers and practices that FHA desires to caution borrowers," he said.

Cosr of materials including decking is the only right way to get true comparative costs on complete roofing jcibs.

Figure it out for yourself! Compute the complete cost per square of roof, using any material that requires solid roof sheathing. Then compute the lower cost of using spaced sheathing with Certigrade cedar shingles.

Cedar shingles can be laid on spaced sheathing because of

their overlapping "bridging" construction, which increases overall strength of the roof. Spaced decking saves builders nearly SOVoof the costs of sheathing, nails and sheathing application.

Although the unit cost of substitute roofing materials before application is sometimes lower than the irnit cost of Certigrade No. 1 shingles, thie complete Certigrade roof usually costs less!

On projects all over America, builders are discovering that, figured by the cost per square, per year of life, Certigrades are always your best buy.

Every Lumberman Should Set His Own Price

Chief Trouble in Retail Lumberins ls Pricing System

By Paul R. Hollenbeck

Twenty-one years of retail lumber.experience has driven home to me the conviction that no man can tell the other fellow what his price should be in retail lumbering, that it is a decision he has to make for himself.

In 1949, when I conceived and formed Lumber Service Company, after many years with Patten Blinn and Hayward Lumber Company, I determined to put into operation some of the ideas and convictions I had, which in each case I knew represented answers to the problem of the retail lumber industry. Day-by-day experience over 4 years forced me to-recognize that lumbermen were not properly equipped as far as price information is concerned. Time and again f had recognized the difticulty the retail lumberman was faced with in estimating a large job on the basis of a fair return to the vard. and a fair orice to the consumer. With many others I had personally experienied the difficulty of retail lumbermen in always giving correct and full answers requested over the counter from the consuming trade.

Far-too many retail lurnbermen were in the position of not beginning to make satisfactory profits, and many began to suspect zolry. Foi mori than three years I had been conducting intensive research on my own, and when I started Lumber Service eompany I had the conviition i hnew t\9 reasons why, and when I took in as associate a long-time personal friend, C. Marshall Topping, he, likewise, felt we should make this information and service available to retail lumbermen at a cost they could well afford. Topping had been in the business almost 20 years and had an excellent background of experience. We are now operating with our stafi at 419 N. Victory Boulevard, Burbank.

The more research l conducted the more I was convinced that the chief trouble in the retail lumber yard is the pricing system.

The U. S. Department of Justice and consent decrees are factors not to be ignored in the lumber industry, and collusion could not be entertained. I recognized that the only possibility of a business of my type succeeding would be to create a service that would be for the benefit of the individual, one that would be good enough for the retail lumberman.to consider, face facts, and buy without benefit of cooperation from his competitor. As I conceived the service, whether oi not a competitor of another retail yard did a satisfactory job or not, the serztice would. remain in effect.

I was determined from the beginning to not have anything to do with collusion or industry cooperation. I determihed in advance that Lumber Service Company and its associates should remain completely independent and have no strings tied to it whatsoever, or be obligated to any retail lumberman. I can truthfully state we are still in this-position ani always will be.

_ We have never attempted to fix prices in any areas or any yard, or between two or more yards. We have faced the'fact constantly that that was not the way to run a business and that the anszser for the retail lumber business was for each man to learn how to run his ouw business.

Singularly enough, it was the very simplicity of the service which created sales obstacles at the outset. We insisted that the principle behind the sertice is not the preparation of a price book for any subscriber. Rather, it is a reporting and analyzing service that ian be made into a price book by the individual subscriber. This has been mv basic co,ncept, namely, that no one can tqll the other man what his prici should be, that it is a decision he along has to make.

It should be clear we have no magic formula for solving the pricing problem in the retail lumber yard. Our service is not, andlannot be, i system that can be-installed and 4dopted and put into'successful opera- tion in three or four hours. Being creatures of habit many ietail lumbermen for years have felt that the only thing that can do them any good is a price service that reflects not only his own prices but those of his competitors, or a price list on which each of-hii competitors could work.

I confess that we had more than our share of woe with the orieinal group of subscribers. For the first 20 to 30 days the initial buyers of our serztice wondered at times why they had bought the service. They were being placed in the position of handling their prices on an entire- ly different basis than ever before. They-had purchased a book, a service, and this they liked to believe was the complete and instantaneous answer to their price problem. The book was not designed to do this, and cannot do this. This I had to point out time and again to the origin- al purchasers of the service.

We knezu what the service could do for the subscriber once he began to use it. I had eliminated the guesswork. It was a certainty with me once I could get the retail lumberman to use the book. The first hurdle was the toughest. It is a source of intense gratification to me today that my convictions have been sustained by eviry one of our subscribers. After two or three weeks thev began to like the service. Their liking then improved. They became emfhatic in endorsing it. Several went so far as to declare the service to be "wonderful" and "revolutionary" as far'as the retail lumber industry is concerned.

faith in the service had increased in leapi and strides. They-realized, with me, that in order to have their business on a sound basis thev had to get certain prices for certain types of merchandise from cirtain customers, while on the other hand they could aftord to go dbwn in price for certain kinds of btrsiness under certain kinds of conditions. This is basic. It was sound, and all the more so because they were making their own decisions. They were doing their own pricing, knowing that in order to stay in business they had to sell at a profit.

I'm told now that we fashioned better than we anticipated. Our system is meeting the most rigid scrutiny on the part of our customers in a most satisfactory manner.

Our system is to secure the selling price of a specific wholesaler. This is shown in the first of five columns in code. Then four columns of mark-up follow, indicating first J$/e gross profit, second 27/o gross profit, third 22/o gtoss profit, fourth l77o gross profit. Inasmuch as it is common practice in the industry to allow a ZVo cash discount these columns actually indicate 33,25,m and 15 per cent gross profit on selling.

Opposite each of these figures is a blank space so that the subscriber can insert his own special price if he chooses.

It has been estimated that it would cost the average retail lumber yard in Southern California today between $6,000 and $10,000 a year to go into extensive price planning and analysis, for there are hundreds, yes countless thousands, of items to be analyzed and priced.

In addition to our complete service Lumber Service Company today sends along to its subscribers additional information which is highly valuable, and which we believe is not supplied by anybody else furnishing this type of service. In the General Information Section of the book we prepare for customers a section on California Lien Law, and then go one step farther by explaining the law in understandable layman's language. Of even more importance today is another service we have added, a war regulation section which explains in layman's language price control, limitation orders, priorities, wage and hour, veteran housing and regulation X and W. These are all maintained on an up-to-date basis digested with amendments to date included. And as soon as the Office of Price Stabilization comes out with price requirements for the industry we intend to analyze all such prices and publish them for the retail lumber yards on an exact basis.

We found that in less than 30 days of the time they made the chase these original customers were usi ot trme the puring the book, constantly. Their lations as they come out.

To make sure war regulations are simplified for our customers we are now holding meetings with them and instructing them on the regu(Adat)

Chcncy "Studr" Bucball Tccm Aftcr Sccond Chempionrhip of Orcgon ar I .IJrwourt LCtguS

Ben Cheney, of Tacoma, Washingtorr, was in Los Augeles a ferv days ago visiting and conferring with L. G. ("Bob") Burns, of The Burns Lumber Company, whiclr concern has represented the Cheney nrills in Southern California for more than twenty years.

The first thing Mr. Cheney wanted to talk about was his baseball team. The Cheney "Studs" Baseball Tcarrr operates out of Medford, Oregorr, and is financed artd spousored by Mr. Cheney. It is a member of the Oregorr Sawdust Basebalt League, made up of six Oregon teanrs, each sponsored by some lumberman or lumber concern. It is a semi-professional team, to rvhich Mr. Cheney gives rnuch of his time and attention during baseball season, attd which he helps coach. It won the League chamllionship last season, and l-ras won all of the six games played so far this season. This League plays Sunday ball only, since all the players hold other jobs. In addition to coaching, I\{r. Cheney himself is a good utilitf infielder, and plays wherr called on.

As to business, Mr. Cheney o\\'ns ar.rd operates I'he Cheney Lumber Company, which has its general offices in Tacoma, Washington, where Mr. Cheney makes his honrc. This concern operates a whole string of sawmills of modest size, one in Tacoma, one in Northern California, and half a dozen in Oregon, including one concentration plant. Irr addition Cheney is now building a new sawmill plant at Eureka, California, which he expects to have in operation arrd cutting close to 100,000 feet daily, by early fall.

To all these production plants, scattered over the whole Pacific Coast, Mr. Ben Cheney, a man of terrific industry, gives his personal attention. In order to do that he travels lly plane around all his mills, and rvherever else his busirress takes him. Right now he is flying a brand new Beechcraft Bonanza plane, replacing an older ship of the sarne make he has been using for years.

The Cheney string of mills are at present prodtrcirrg upwards of half a million feet of lumber daily, which u'ill be considerably increased when the new Dureka plant is irr operation. While they make everything in Fir lumber, the pride and joy of the Cheney string is the now famous brar.rd of "Cheney Studs." One of the first, if not the very first, concerns in the country to begin specializing in the volun're production of 2 by 4, 8 foot studs in 1934, and shipping them in straight cars to the trade, they take great pride in the manufacture of this particular item, which has in the last ten years become one of the most popular of all Fir lumber items.

The Burns Lumber Company has r,r'orked closely n'ith Cheney in the marketing of these studs, and has distributed tremendous quantities of same to the retail lumber trade of the Southwest. Mr. Burns likes to recall with rvhat won,ierment the lumber trade looked on their original campaign of selling straight cars of "Chendy Studs" and says there were many who were slou' to believe that there rvas sufficient opportunity for such specializing. But the results have been wonderful, and "Cheney Studs" has

long since been their best sales and advertising talk. But Cheney also makes and sells everything in Fir building .lumber.

They Ca,U it "O'MALLEY',s" in Phoenix

With a flair for llractical pulllicity that is incorporatecl in all the activities of the company, the big, bright signs that attract the attention to the big, bright nerv store of 'l'he O'l\Ialley Lumber Company, in I'hoenix, Arizona, simply read-"O'MAI-LEY'S." Top, front, and side of the big new store these signs identify the place in impressive fashion to all concerned.

The nerv store-no "lun'.ber yard" this but a dazzling display place for building materials-opened forn-rally for business just a ferv u'eeks back at Fourth Avenue and Madison Street. They had a fortnal opening that brought rnany thousands of the better citizens of the city of Phoenix to see something nen' and modern in building merchandising. Direct mail invitations, nervspaper publicity, radio announcements, etc., spotlighted the store openir.rg, ar.rd for trvo full days the crorvds streamed through the store and office departments, the interest shorvn being of a character to bring great satisfaction to "O'l\Ialley's." Of course the entire organization was on hancl to act as hosts for the occ:rsion, and extend the glad hand to the thousands of men, \rromen, and children r,r'ho looked the place over.

The ncrv store is located on the corner of trvo busy busirress streets. The building is 100 lty 127 feet in size, the construction being of solid brick n'ith a veneer of native Atizona sandstone. It houses not only the rvonderful nelv store and display rooms, but also tl.re offices of the comPany, lleautifully arranged and appointed, and done in a variety of beautifully finished rvoods which include ash, oak, gum, beech, mahogany, Philippine mahogany, birch. African mabogany, and redwood.

The accotlpranying photographs furnish an excellent idea of the interior arrangement of the ne'iv store. Engineered to give the customers every assistance in building sl-ropping, the sales and display rooms itre models of the mercl.randising

art. The plans rvere worke:l out by the organization itself irr its string of retail yards, and the-y put ir,tr-r the nerv store everything they have learned in forty-three years of building material merch:ndising. The place is probably unique in the building material world, for lighting, display units and their arrangenlent. roominess. and eye-catching :rrrangement of merchandise. Lots of s'alking room, lots of display room, and a general attractivetress that makes it easy for the shopper, rvhether a big or little builder, contractor, or a lady looking for a can of paint or a bit of hardrvare. With most of the stock, such as hardware, builders Irardware, paint, paint accessories, pluurber supplies, plainly tagged as to price, the big store lends itself to selfserving in remarkable fashion. The small buyer can select what he wants, check the price for himself, then take it to lhe rvrapping counter and buy it.

The paint. hardrvare, plrrmbing, and other supplies are arranged around the rvalls on modernistic shelving, and throughout the room on gondolas, skilfully arranged bins, and islands, that enable the shopper to irrspect s'ith ease the materials he seeks. Not an old-iashioned shelf in the place.

There is a home planning center in the store, rvhere customers may inspect plans and plan trooks and other literature pertaining to building. There is a department where panels of various building materials are shown, such as roofing, siCing, mouldings, wall boards. insulation materials. etc.

There is, of course, a lumber sales counter, presided over by a salesman rvho specializes in that department, who talks lnmber and h()mes, buildings generally, and building imDrovements and additions. This is a comfort-

At the front door of thc store there are tables, chairs, and telephones for the convenience of customers.

There is an employees' room in the store, complete with kitchenette, tables, and chairs, for the couvenience of the personnel.

The entire building is air conditioned.

The large suite of offices .rf the executives of "O'Malley's" is a very handsonre one, each room being finished in diffcrent fashion with different woods, making the offices excellent display places for the finer woods they sell.

At the new store and plant they carry lumber and yard merchandise for the pick-up trade onty, while their large stocks are located at their storage yard at Ninth Aveuue and Jackson. They carry complete stocks of Douglas Fir, Ponderosa, Sugar Pine, and Redwood, and smaller stocks of other soft and hard woods. They carrl' large stocks of wall boards of various kinds, plywood, plasterboards, etc. The storage yard is a clean and modern one, in which two eight-ton Hysters, a two-ton Hyster, and a Carrier, handle all the materiats in and out.

They operate a fleet of ten trucks out of the storage yard, and one large truck-and-trailer unit capable of hauling 25,000 feet of lumber. They pile their lumber with staggered ends to expedite the loading of trucks; the staggered ends enables them to lift the designated number of pieces for each load.

All merchandise items such as rvallboards, roofing, cement, lime. plaster, etc., carried in the storage yard warehouse are palleted to expedite cAr unloading and truck loading for delivery.

The new store in Phoenix is the climax of a long and successful career of building material rnerchandising for "O'Malley." The O'Malley Lumber Company is no upstart in the business. The company was incorporated in Phoenix, May 27, lX)8, by the late E. L. O'Malley and his brother J. G. O'Malley. The latter is now Chairman of the Board, and the elder statesman of the O'Malley outfit. E. V, (Ted) O'Malley is president and general manager today; James C. O'Malley is secretary and sales manager; J. G. O'Malley Jr., is treasurer; H. W. Powers, manager of their Tucson yard, is vice president.

The Phoenix end of the O'Malley business, the new store and the storage yard and sheds is in the capable hands of Iiarl Cox, one of Arizona's most respected retail building rnaterial men.

The O'Malley Lumber Company name is well scattered over the state, for the company owns and operates throughout Arizona four yards besides the headquarters at Phoenix, and is interested in and does the purchasing for nine other yards. making 14 units for which the headquarters office does the buying. The company yards are at Phoenix Coolidge, Mesa, Sunnyslope, and Tucson.; while the nine others are at Casa Grande, Ajo, Buckeye, Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe, Nogales, Yuma, and Somerton.

If you're in Phoenix any time, drop in and see the rTew store of O'Malley's. It's rvorth the trip.

Building Lccdcr Urgo Lifting Curbr on Low-Co* Homcr

William P. Atkinson of Oklahoma City. president of the National Association of Home Builders, addressed a large group of builders and community developers at a banquet in .the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, Tuesday evening, June 5. The event was sponsored by the Building Con' tractors' Association of Catifornia and the Home Builders Institute of l.os Angeles, both affiliates of the NAHB.

Regarding the national home-building outlook, he said:

"The pubtic will be fortunate if the building industry can start 800,000 units this year.

"We feel that as long as our materials and labor are availallle, the construction of houses for the average man is not in any rvay inflationary' The best opinion is that for some time to come, labor and materials will be more than ample to meet the volume of production which rve can foresee.|'

He pointed out that the National Association of Home Buitders has recommended to Congress that present drastic curbs be lifted over the lower and moderate-price income groups, and expressed hirnself as optimistic regarding the mortgage loan situation which he believes will clear itself in a reasonable time. One of the strongest challenges confronting the building industry, he said, is the constrttction of lou'er-cost housing for rent and for sale.

Pctrick Henry

Of all the outstanding characters that have graced the history of the Unitcd States, pcrhaps nonc was more colorful or appealing to the imagination than Patrick Henry.

Thomas Jefrerson had eeen him tending bar in his fatherin-law'g tavcrn. The next time they met, Patrick Henry calmly announced his intention of taking the examination for admittance to the Virginia Bar. "I thought you were already tending bar," said the amused Jefrerson. "This is a different kind of bar," Eaid the unabaghed country boy who was yet to 8ct the world afire with his oratory. "How long have you studied law?" asked Jefferson. "Three months," replicd Patrick Henry. "Don't you think you might study it a while longer before taking the examination?" asked Jefferson. "I don't know," said Patrick Henry' "Some folks take a long time to learn things. Others not so long."

And, to the utter amazement of Jefferson the boy was admitted to the Bar on his first examination.

Eden's Apples

When every pool in Eden was a mirror, That unto Eve her dainty charms proclaimed, She went undraped without a single fear, or Thought that she had need to be ashamed.

'Twas only when she'd eaten of the :ipple, That she became inclined to be a prude, And found that evermore she'd havc to grapple, With the much-debated problem of the nude.

Thereafter she devoted her attention, Her time and all her money to her clothes, And that was the beginning of convention, And modesty as well, so I suppose.

Reaction's come about in fashions recent, Now the girls conceal so little from the men, It would seem that in the name of all that's decent, Someone ought to pass the apples round again.

Pessimist

Youth-"How much is a marriage license?"

Clerk-"Two dollars."

Youth-"But I only have one dollar."

Clerk-"What a break!"

He Cut It Off

"How come I don't see you mixin'round socially no mo?"

"Flit's disaway. So fur as I is concerned, sassiety is thu ! I'se done ostrichized it."

Explcined

Rastus: "Tell me boy, why is it dat a black cow gives white milk what makes into yellah buttah?"

Sambo: Dass easy, boyt Hit'e fo de same reason dat blackberries is red when dey is green."

No Honest Working Girl

The scene was in a restaurant, The lights were shining fair, A girl sat at a table, And two men were eitting there. Said one man to the girl

Let's have a little drink or two, And say, kid, take a little booze, It never will hurt you.

But she was an honest working girl, And quick came her reply, And this it was her answer, As a tear bedimmed her eye:

Chorus

No honest working girl don't drink no booze, I'm sorry that I have for to refuse, I may not get a cheer, but I'll have to stick to beer, For no honest working girl don't drink no booze.

Ecsy Enough

It's easy to grin

When you're making a win, And wearing a smile on your phiz; But the guy that's worth while Is the guy that can smile

'When the other guy's getting the biz.

An Ancient Optimist

It was Grandpa's 90th birthday, and the family celebrated with a big gathering of relatives, and a very happy dinner, through all of which Grandpa sat proudly. One of his grandsons came to him and said:

"Grandpa, I've sure enjoyed being with you on your 90th birthday, and I hope I'll help you celebrate your hundredth birthday."

"Well, son," said Grandpa, grinning, "I don't see any reason why you shouldn't-you look good and healthy."

Todcry Is Ours

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and some absurdities, no doubt, crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.Ralph Waldo Emerson.

man and a vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and Vincent Bousquet, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company forester and program chairman of the SAF's Puget Sound Section.

Following the dedication, the field trip of the foresters continued through the Weyerhaeuser Snoqualmie Falls Tree Fann, a Dougtas fir region showpiece of modern industrial forestry at its b€st.

In January, 1924,-as told by Col. Grecley in "F'orests and Men"-Senator McNary's Cornrnittee offered Congress a bill designed to extend public forest ownership only where specific public interests and responsibilities called for it; and to seek removal of risks and handicaps fron'r private timber growing, with incentives to conlmercial reforestation. And so, modern cooperative forestry was begun.

Ncmred Assistcnt Mcrncger

James D. Patton has been named assistant to A. B. Wilson, manager of Noyes Lumber Company of Napa, Calif.

Two recent events have dramatized the story of the ClarkMcNary Act, cornerstone of the modern structure of cooperation between industrial, state and Federal forest agencies for productive forestry practices on all lands.

One event was the publication by the great Doubleday house of "Forests and Men", William B. Greeley's narrative of 50 years of American forestry as viewed through his own experience. As U. S. Chief Forester in the years 1920'1928 he was partner with Oregon's Charles L. McNary, "the Forestry Senator," on the great works of forest legislation during the period.

Tire Clarke-McNary Act came first. In his book. the forestry leader tells of the bill's planning, of the decision to write it around the No. 1 principle of "Stop the forest fires," and of the 24 hearings that were held by the U. S. Senate Select Committee throughout the country. The critical meeting was at the Snoqualmie Falls Inn. near Seattle, in 1923.

A plaque commemorating this Northwest meeting of forestland owners, U. S. Senators, state foresters, and Forest Service officials, was dedicated by the Puget Sound Section, Society of American Foresters, on its 1951 field trip. It was hung on the veranda of the inn by Col. Greeley, now AFPI chair-

Jim, as he is known to his man'l' friends, has been with the Noyes Company since 1936. He started as a driver and clerk, and by hard rvork has fitted himself for the responsible position he nou' holds.

He is a member of the Redu'ood Empire Hoo-Hoo Club, and has served on the board of directors since its organization.

Slmpron Running Scria o[ Inrtitutioncl Hrrdwood Rula Book Advcrtircmantr in Timc Mrgazinc In Ncw Lergc Format

After several years of advertising in trade publications, including The California l.umber Merchant, and in regional consumer magazines, tlre Simpson Logging Contpany is this year running a series of "institutional" advertisemcnts in TIME Magazine. The series concerns the people, the ' policies, the physical aspects, the products and the plans of this 56-year-old conrpany wltose products are distributed nation rvide and whose operations center in the great Pacific Northwest and in Northern California.

Tlre advertisements are the "reader" or "story" type of message and are u'ritten by Stewart FI. Ilolbrook, a rvriter of national fame r'r'ho resides at Portland, Oregon.

In speaking of this advcrtising series, C. E. "Chttck" I)evlin, general sales manager of Simpson I-ogging Cotupany, nradc this comment, "We feel fortunate that a wlitcr as popular as Steu'art Holllrook has consented to rvrite these stories abottt our c()mpany. On the occasiotl of ottr 50th birthday, he $'rote a penctrating l>ook of the citrly days of Sinrpson and of I'acific Northrvest logging. 'l'his llook has already gone through its second printing. 'lhe purpose of this series in 'fime I\{agazine is to present the Simpsou Logging Company as a stable, permanent enterprise one which contributes to the strength and stitbility of an important lumber producing area and the tnanttfacturer of a quality line of products. Voluntary comtrtetlts from readers of the advertisernents are most gratifying."

The first of the advertisements concerning Simpson Lt>gging Company's carnp cook, and appetite-stimulating piece on logger food. The second story is about the glamourboys of the woods-the high-climbers-the "steeplejacks of the timber." Another sketch covers the lteadrig man of split-second decisions, the sar,r'yer. The sustained yiel<l program, the Tree Farm, the redrvood operations, the rnotlel logging camp, the door factory, the plyrvood plants, the rvood fiberboard factory, the research activities, the ctlnrpany's transportation facilities, the sound conditioning <lepartment . . . all these subjects rvill be thoroughly investigated and high-lighted for Time readers during the year.

The Simpson Logging Company operates two sawmills, two plywood plants, a wood fiber plant, a door factory and a research center in Shelton and McCleary, Washington, a permanent logging camp on Washington State's famed Olympic Peninsula, and conducts logging, milling and drying activities in the redrvood area of Northern California. General sales offices are in Seattle, Washirrgton and regional sales offices are maintained in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nerv York, Fargo, Chicago, St. I.otris and Shreveport.

Ad&esses Forest Products Resecrch Society

C. Arthur Bruce, director of the lumber and wood products division, N.P.A., made an address at the annual meeting of the Forest Products Research Society held recently in Philadelphia. The title of his talk was "Importance of Wood in the Mobilization Program." Mr. Bruce told his hearers that this country has a timber supply sufficicnt to meet the potential war demand.

As an important step in its program of assistance to hardwood producers, wholesalers and buyers, the National Hardu'<lod Lumber Association, Chicago, announces the issuance of a new, enlarged and illustrated edition of the Association's Grading llules Ilook.

Knou'n officially as "Rules for the Measurenrent and Inspection of }lardrvood Lumberl Cypress, Velreers and Thin Lumber," the Rules Book has served for many years as tlte text book of hardrvood buying and selling. Iiach year since 1898 the rules have been gone over in great detail by competent lumbermen, and on recommendation of the Inspection Rules Comrnittee and final action by annual corrvcntions, havc been changed or modified to reflect currcnt trade rerluirements or to clarify points of mutual interest betrveen lluyer or seller.

The new edition, containing flO pages, is large itr size, Slxll inches, and is printed in trvo colors throughout' In addition to containing all the currcnt rules and the Sales Codc of the Association, the book is illustrated with pictures of all the principal hardrvood species togetlrer with a summary of their uses, range and rvorking properties' Line drarvings of the leaves and fruit of the species provide additional identification data as well as adding a fitting decorative rnotif. The front cover is attractively illustrated on a hardwood forest scene background, and the back cover has an all-over illustration showing an actual hardrvood inspection and loading operation.

In commenting on the netv l>ook, Executive Officer John W. McClure of NHLA said, "I feel that this new edition of our Rules Book not only gives new emphasis and understanding to our inspection rules that have played such an important part in the orderly marketing of our product for so many years, but that it $'ill provide a most efiective sales tool for lumbermen and their salesmen and a most helpful reference source for hardwood buyers and specifiers. Making hardu'oods more quickly available through an understanding of their ttses and grades applicable to specific tasks is particularly essential for both industrial and military needs at this critical time. It also fills a long felt need for a text book adaptable to technical schools, forestry colleges, architectural institutes, and to the general public interested in u'oods and their utilization. I am confident that our nerv, enlarged Rules Book will be a clistinct contribution to all branches of the hardrvood and related industries."

A considerable amottnt of reference material, a list of lumber associations providing grading rules, list of trade papers, shipping information and sources of data on specific uses of a rvide variety of woods rounds out the book to the point that it will be found a valuable addition to lumber literature. A limited number of copies are available at the less-than-cost price of $1.00 each from the National Hardrvood Lumber Association, 59 E. Van Buren Street, Chicago, Ill., (remittance with order to save accounting).

Rccommcnd Sound Fircal Policy Inrtcad o[ Controb

Washington, D.C., May 2.5-The board of directors of the National Rctail Lumber l)ealers Association has recotrtrrrended unaninrously that Federal pricc, rvage, an<l production controls bc abandonc<l and that :t sotttr<l llscal ltolicy be adoptcd to accomplish thc purposes thcy arc intcn<le<l to serve.

A resolution adoptcd by the NRLDA <lirectors at thcir senri-annual mecting being hcld herc at the Shrtrchanr Ilotel stated that the l)resent regulatory controls arc failirrg in thcir purl)()se llecause l)ressurcs from trrany directions have made them not only unworkablc, but also actually harmful.

The complete text of thc resolution is as follows:

"Thc <lirect regulatory controls imlloscd lly the Fcdcral govcrnment for thc announcc<l purpose of controlling prices, wagcs, inflation, and pro<lttction arc failing in that ptlrlx)sc.

"Thcse controls, put int<l c{Icct agairtst tlrc a<lvicc of industry, are failing becausc presstlres front ntattY dircctiorrs have tna<le thenr not only ttnrvorkalrlc, lrrtt :tlso actttltlly harrnful.

"Since there is no evidence that regulations, such as price and u'agc qontrols, can or will be made to operate successfully, u'e strongly urge that no further time be wasted in trf ing to accomplish our purpose by these means.

"lJccause it is imperative that defense production be expanded, the civilian economy maintained, and inflation restrained, rve strongly recouturend the adoption of the program of sound fiscal policy which has been advocated all along by business organizations and business leaders."

C. R. Johnron Trce Famr Dedicated

these two farms include just a bit more than 65,000 acres' one thousand for each year of operation by Union Lumber Company, founded by C. R. Johnson. Active in the dedication, also most appropriatelv were his son, Otis R. Johnson, president of Union Lumber Company and C. Russell Johnson, his grandson, in control of the company's Mendocino operations.

'Ihe dedication ceremonies lvere under the auspices of l{edrvood Circle No. I of the Mendocitro Coast, the first unit of the Redwood Region Conservation Association to be organized in the county. The dedication was very much a conrmunity afiair. The actual ceremonies were sponsored by the California Redwood Association which certified the C. R. Johnson Tree Farms. The company provgd a graceful and thoughtful host. 2000 guests traveled up the Noyo ltiver on flat cars and in coaches over the tracks of the California Western Railrval' to Redwood Lodge where the ceremonies were hetd. That ten mile trip on a perfect spring day through an incomparably beautiful forest in the full panoply of floral decoration was a memorable treat to the guests. Most of thern preferred the hard benches of the flats rather than the comforts of the coaches. The tunch was just as advertised-a lumberman's meal, good in both quality and quantity.

A corps of industry, state and government foresters under the able direction of Professor Emanuel Fritz (Mr. Redrvood, himself) took the guests on tours enabling them to see a tree farm in being. They u'ill never forget what they saw there and what they heard there.

Fort Bragg, May l9-Just a little more than 65 years ago a young man with a vision and the zeal to make it a reality established here a logging and mill operation norv rvidely known as one of the biggest and m.ost progressive enterprises in the redwood forests of the coast'

That man was C. R. Johnson and most appropriately the two largest tree farms in the redwood region have been dedicated here today rs his finest memorial, the C. R. Johnson Tree Farms, one unit on the Noyo river and the other on Big River. It is more than a coincidence that

The actual ceremonies rvere impressive with the speakers flanked by a distinguished group of public officials, lumber industry leaders and representatives of national and state conservation organizations. The guests were welcomed by Judge Lilburn Gibson of the Superior Court of Mendocino 'County.

The certificates for the C' R. Johnson Tree Farms were presented to Otis R' Johnson, president of Union Lumber Company by Gordon Manary, chairman of the Tree Farm Committee of the California Redw.rod Association' As master of ceremonies, Shern"ran A' Bishop,-general manager of the California Redrvood Association did a graceful

job of introducing the distinguished guests, who took a bow from the platform. The chief address of the occasion was delivered by William S. Rosecrans, chairman of the California State Board of Forestry. It was both an inspiring and sobering efiort. Bill Rosecrans knows the subject of conservation from every angle and he values his reputation too highly to devote such an occasion to just saying nice things in a nice way. He did not minimize the evils of the past and he did not glamorize the hopes of the future as promised by tree farming. In paying tribute to the founder of Union Lumber Company he asserted that the first quality of that pioneer tumbcrman was zeal of the highest moral quality and if tree farming is to succeed it must be because that same type of zeal supports the movement.

The day before the dedication a grouP of newspapermen' magazine writers, radio cornmentators and photographers were taken on a tour of the two trec farms' They were guided by Emanuel Fritz as.sisted by a corps of professional foresters. They u'ere kccrrly interestcd and this previerv promises to serve both thern and the tree farm movetrlent well in the future.

Excerpts from Mr. Rosccrans' address are as follorvs:

"We stand today on this portion of Merrdocino land cnjoying the hospitality of a pioneer redrvood lumbering company. The Union Lumber Company, like all of the old time redwood operators, was founded, developed, and kept in existence, through good times and bad, by the efforts of men and rvomen of strength and courage, and who were not afraid of work. Today, we pay tribut.e to the Union Lumber Company its management and enrployees, but in a broader sense, we give rccognition to many similar pioneer organizations and to hundreds of brave and sturdy men and \\'omen, norv mostly gone to their reward.

"Saving the redrvoods has become more than a nlere slogan. It has been the name of an organization which through the past years has been successful in creating a series of redwood parks comprising today about 72,000 acres of virgin redrvoods to be seen and enjoyed not alone by this generation but by countless succeeding generations.

"It is a notable event rvhen we can take part in the dedication of a 65,000 acre tree farm. I believe that the management of Union Lumber Company has made a wise decision based both on good long-term economies and on a recognition of public interest and responsibility. Most

sincerely I congratulate Mr. Otis Johnsorr and his associates in the management of Union Lumber Company. I also congratulate all of the employees of this organization. All of them and particularly those who work in the woods can play a very vital role in the success and permanency of this tree farm. Congratulations also to Fort l3ragg. It can look forward to an assured future in place of gradual decline.

"I have bccn advised by the California Redwood Association that of the last ten applications for certification as tree farms, seven were for acreages of 1,000 acres or less. One, the Stornowey Tree Farm, rvas for 27 acres. These smaller tree farms and the baby of 27 acres are important. Over 56 per cent of all comrnercial timber lands in the United States is ou'rred by over four million owners. In general thcir forest practices are far below minimum standards.

"The old timers who came here to Mendocino County and other parts of the redrvood region in the sixties, seventies, and eighties, took great risks, physical and financial. Thcy endured privations and worked prodigiously. Why?

"l'erhaps a llrief reference to otre man might ansrver for thc nrajority. In the dedication of this Tree Farm rve honor Charles Russell Johnsorr. I uever had the privilege of knorving Mr Johnson but I think I can hazard a guess as to his fundamental decision to come to Mendocino County. In all probability he could have lteen equally successful in some large city with greater comfort and less risk and less rvork.

"Why then did he take what appears to us to have been the hard way? My guess is that Charles Russell Johnson was a wise man. He knew that happiness in life does not come just with success but rvith the effort and courage that goes into the struggle. Man is made for competition and for struggle. As soon as he stops struggling, in that luoment he begins to deteriorate. Pioneer Johnson made the good fight. He was successful in developing a substantial enterprise and in knowing that it would be carried on by his own flesh and blood. I am sure that were he alive and rvith us today he would take great satisfaction in this dedication. His life rvas full and rich because he had zeal'

"So today. while conditions have so greatly changed, if u'e u'ould be successful in providing a continuity of forest production for California, \'r'e need fundamentally the same clualities as the old pioneers had to have to gain their ob-

jectives. We atso must recognize that happiness and satisfaction come from conquering obstacles. We must have the zeal to seek our objectives and the courage to 6ght the good fight. And, if so, we rvill have redwoods for tomorrow."

Hrrdwood Committcc Extsndr Pcriod Ccmp Coolc cnd Vicinity Declarcd For Liccnrc Applicctionr Soil Cdticcl Dslcnrc Housing Area lmprovcr Proccr

Washington, D. C.--The period for receiving license applications for manufacturing and sales rights for the sawdust soil improver process, Fersolin, has been extended from the previouslv :rnnounced deadline of May l0 to July l, 1951, the Committee on Hardrvood Research Administration has advised the association secretaries of hardwood producers.

This action rvas takerr at the request of ltardrvood research committee members who reported to Carl A. Rishell, Committee Secretary, an unusually large number of inquiries from hardwood manufacturers about this nerv rvaste utilization process.

At a meeting of the Hardwood ltesearch Administration Committee last February 27, provision rvas nrade for generally acquainting the hardwood manufacturing industry with the process and offer was made to receive until I\{ay l0 applications for license to manufacture and sell Fersolin under pending patents in the U. S. and Canada. Applicaitons covering 17 states have already been received.

The process was developed in the Timber Engineering Cornpany's laboratory under the Hardwood Industry Research program of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Some of the advantages are as follows :

l. Manufacturing facilities required are simple in compari son rvith most chemical utilization processes ancl capital equipment investment is comparatively low.

2. \\raste from any wood species, rnixed or otheru,isc, dry or greer can be trscd.

3. I)resence of bark in tlre rvaste makes no difierence.

4. I'rocess is neither cornplicated nor expensive.

5. It is believed plants of l0 tons daily capacity are commercially feasible.

6. Marketing opportunities for the product appear to be quite promising.

In making the soil improver material the screened waste is dampened with a lr,'eak acid solution and then subjected to a heat treatment. The entire process takes about an hour. The converted san'dust may if necessary (depending upon soil and plant conditions) be further treated rvith an alkali to reduce the acidity. The product, a black granular dust, is spread over the soil and plowed in. It serves as a soil conditioner for increasing porosity reducing hardpan and retaining the correct amount of soil moisture.

A detailed prospectus covering the process and provisions for licensing are available to hardrvood manufacturers from Carl A. Rishell, Secretary, Commiltee on Hardwood Research Administration, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.
