that he might misuse no word, and use no unnecessary word. Certainly the draft call of the little Ethiopian Emperor followed that design.

Selassie.

..EVERY MAN ABLE TO CARRY A GUN WILL COME TO ADDIS ABABA TO FIGHT. THE BLIND, THE LAME, AND THOSE TOO YOUNG TO CARRY A GUN NEED NOT COME. MARRIED MEN BRING THEIR WIVES TO COOK FOR THEM. MEN WITHOUT WIVES BRING ANY AVAILABLE WOMAN. ANYONE FOUND AT HOME WILL BE HUNG." * *,tj*t.d) Haile

Back in 1937 when the Italian armies invaded the Kingdom of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Emperor sent out a draft call throughout all his kingdom. The above quotation was that call-in full. If it is not a classic, you'd be wasting your time trying to find something that is.

{<*{<

f remember that an American official at Washington called attention to it at that time. He said that often, after he had wearied his brain trying to dig the meaning out of some printed government regulation, order, or directive, over-long and over-worded and redundant as most of them were, he turned to Haile Selassie's draft order that called an entire nation to arms, IU**XU it for relief.

The little five-foot-four Emperor of Ethiopia is in the United States today, and being shown a lot of attention and respect. He spoke to the Congress in Washington, and has since been traveling about, seeing our sights and meeting our people. His speech to the Congress was not as terse as his draft call ni.ald above, but it was short.

But his draft call has been at the top of my scrapbook ever since I first got it. It should be posted in large type wherever men write official messages, as an example of what can be done in the way of brevity, directness, and word saving. It is the champ of all champs. ***

During the days of OPA when we used to get foods of those long, tiresome, often unintelligible directives from Washington using literally hundreds of words where only one would have been needed, I used to wish that OPA headquarters could have had a great sign shown in front of the door, bearing Haile Selassie's call to arms, and urging official writers to read and learn. For the little Emperor has proven himself a master of the short order. Wasting words is not in his mak*e-up.

It may be that he was deliberately following the example of a great Athenian of the Golden Era of Greece, Pericles, who before every speaking or writing prayed to his gods

r have an old friend ,rl-Ju lou witt, who, long ago, used to make speeches. Good ones. fle always began his talks by assuring his audience that he would not linger too long with his speaking, for, he ssid-"[lsyity is the soul of \Mitt." It certainly* is*of Haile Selassie.

This coming of the small Ethiopian to our shores is a fine excuse for waxing historical in this column. In his own land he is called at various times the King of Kings, King of Zion, Conguering Lion of Judah, Branch of the Tree of Solomon, and Implement of the Holy Trinity. He claims to be a direct descendant of King Solomon and the Queen ofSheba'

Ethiopia, as you have probably read lately if not previously, is the oldest Christian nation on earth. ft became an independent nation 1200 years before Christ. A blending of history and mythology says that the then king of Ethiopia, Memnon, went to the aid of old King Priam, when the Greek hosts beseiged Troy, and there met his death. History says that long before Christ, Ethiopia supplied elephants to countries fighting against the Romans. The country has about 18 million population, and ten thousand automobiles. It has no seacoast. While in New York the Emperor took in a ball game, and attended religious services at the Harlem Abyssinian Baptist Church.

That's about all I know that seems of much interest concerning the old boy at the present time. So, while waxing historical and on the subject of Ethiopia, I yield to the temptation to tell something about another King of that land; one who always interested me, and has filled a few pages of my scrapbook for many years. Hope my readers find him colorful enough to justify this space. ***

Greek mythology and history tells us that there once lived a King of Ethiopia whose name was Memnon. He was black, yet beautiful in face and form, and a tremendous warrior, so the stories go. His history is partly legendary, and yet backed by many physical facts, so no one can say where history stops and legend begins.

At any rate, when .rr. Lrit lr-i." beseiged rroy and the mighty battles began that Homer made famous in his Iliad, Memnon went to help King Priam of Troy, having heard that Achilles had already slain the greatest Trojan

warrior, Hector. Memnon met in combat and killed the great Greek warrior, Antilochus, the close friend of Achilles, and was then in deadly combat with Ajax the Greater, second most famous Greek, when Achilles came to the aid of Ajax. No aid came to Memnon, and Achilles killed him.

After his death men proceeded to build a thousand legends concerning the greatness of Memnon. His name was placed on numerous famous structures, such as the gates of Thebes, and on several tremendous statues located at Thebes and Susa. One of these monuments-all of them named after Memnon-was so built that when the first rays of the rising sun in the morning touched its top, music resembling that of a great harp came forth from the monument top. Later this monument was damaged by an earthquake, and when they repaired it, the music stopped. Two great statues by Memnon still stand near Thebes, statues of Amenophis. He also built the royal citadel of Susa, called the Memnonion.

fn Thebes and Susa they considered Memnon to be immortal, and called him Son of the Dawn. As time passed after his death he grew steadily bigger in retrospect. Many Greek buildings besides those mentioned, and many famous plays were named after him. The post-Homeric works of two famous authors, Arctinua and Lesches, gave the detailed story of his life and death, and both made him a great personage and a mighty hero.

So, having told most "ri"n"a in"rr" read concerning two

Ethiopian kings, Memnon and Haile Selassie, I shall bring this story to a close. But I submit that they are both interesting characters. Especially do I recommend and praise the draft call of the little King of today. Someone has wisely said with regard to scribblers, "before writing, consider the beauty of white paper." Haile Selassie saves both paper and words.

Perkins ls Authoriry On lumber Looding On Flot Cors

In its educational drive for shipping lumber on flatcars, the Southern California Retail Lumber Association has found its greatest ally and helper has been a certain A. G. Perkins, of San Pedro, General Manager of the Harbor Belt Line Railroad.

Illustrated articles that have appeared during the last y"ear in THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT and in the bulletins of Orrie W. Hamilton and the Association, showing how flatcars may be properly loaded for long distance hauling of packaged lumber, and the research vi'ork and specialized railroad advice has come largely from Mr. Perkiirs.

That drive is working out wonderfully. It is being proven beyond doubt that packaged lumber, properly loaded on flats, comes through in perfect condition, thus affecting great savings in the loading and unloading. Just a few weeks ago there were five flatcars so loaded on a train coming South that was in a head-on collision. Yet the five cars held their lumber loads so well in place that they were able to continue to the destination without any rearrangement or working over.

Mr. Perkins has spent his adult life as an operating man on western railroads. During his years in train service he handled and observed shipments of lumber on open

top cars. He has seen the volume of such shipments increase, particularly since mechanical handling by lift fork has become so commonplace, and has long observed the need for improvement in the manner of arranging and securing lumber on a car to prevent shifting. Nlr. Perkins insists that if lumber is properly packaged and secured at the originating point, it can be compactly arranged on the car for safe and expeditious travel over the rails to destination, thus eliminating loss, damage and delay to loads en route.

During the past several years as a representative of tl-re California Railroad and Public Utilities Commissions, Mr. Perkins has exhibited a great deal of interest and resourcefulness in coordinating the efforts of various segments of the lumber industry and railroads in improved loading practices and methods. Many of the revisions in the loading rules of the Association of American Railroads rvhich govern the loading of lumber on open top cars are the result of his progressive ideas demonstrated under extensive test to be sound and practical.

His appointment as General Manager of the Harbor Belt Line Railroad was welcome news to those in the lumber industry who have worked r'vith him and noted his sincerity and zest for progress.

Simpson Discusses Proposed New Grclde

Ncrmes

With Ccrliforniq Lumbermen

H. V. Simpson, Executive Vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, of Portland, Oregon, held six lumber group meetings in California in the past two weeks' time, in which he discussed with several hundred lumbermetr, both manufacturers and retailers, details of the proposed nerv Douglas Fir grading rules.

The first meeting was at Eureka on June 2nd; the second at Crescent City, June 4th; the third at Los Angeles, June 7th; the next at San Francisco, June 9th; and the last at Redding, June 10th. These were all meetings of sawmill men and manufacturers and were well attended. Besides these mill meetings, he held one in Los Angeles on June 8th which was arranged by Orrie W. Hamilton and was attended by more than 100 leading retailers from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

By means of blackboards and charts, Mr. Simpson ex-

plained what has been done by his association thus far toward remodeling the grading rules and grade naures for Douglas Fir. This book they have been working ou for rnonths is not nearly complete as yet, and it will be sorne time before sufficient agreement on them can be reacl,ed. As THll CALIFORNIA LUMBtrR MERCHANT has explained in the past, one of the major thoughts is to change the names of commonly used grades to make them more practical and understandable, and to change for useful and practical puiposes some of the present grades.

Mr. Simpson, as always, made a fine witness, and explained what had been done and what still has to be accomplishecl. At each meeting his talk was followed by a question, answer, and discussion period. The Los Angeles retail meeting was held in the Biltmore Hotel, and the manufacturers' meeting in the Statler.

GEORGE WINDELER CO. LTd.

Wooden Tonks, Cooling Towers ond Custom

The George Windeler Co., Ltd. at 22Ol Jerrold Avenue, San Francisco, stands as a modern, efiftcient monument in honor of its founder, George Windeler. The Windeler' Company today, as in years past, operates by the motto, "If ft's Made From Wood We Can Build It"; however, facilities are now mainly geared for the production of rvooden tanks, cooling towers and custom millwork. The extensive area occupied makes it possible to stock and season large quantities of high grade lumber.

The President of the George Windeler Co., Ltd. is now Fred Windeler, son of George Windeler, and President since his father's death in 1941. He had been with his father since 1921 as a partner, and became vice president in 1930 when the firm incorporated. Besides Fred Windeler, who is active in the management of the business, there are:

William S. Heger, Jr., vice president; Art Wall, sales manager; Ed Hoctor, sales engineer; George Johnson, salesman-draftsman, and Walter W. Perkins, covering Southern California sales. With the exception of Walter Perkins, rvho is located at P.O. Box 283, Downey, California, all these men are at Windeler's San Francisco address.

George Windeler, founder of the George Windeler Co., Ltd., was born in Germany in October, 1856; the youngest of nine children. When he was 8 years old his father died, and during the ensuing years (a period during which his older brothers left home) George remained, continuing his schooling and contributing to the family finances by helping neighboring farmers and by herding cows.

One of his older brothers, Peter, had come to San Fran-

Millwork

cisco and started what was then known as the Enterprise Brewery as far back as 1875. This was the primary reason that George Windeler decided to come to San Francisco, when departure for America became a possibility.

The trip, itself, was indicative of the resourcefulness and tenacity which was to be evident in all his later life. He stowed away on a British steamer at Bremerhaven bound for London. This was the old style "hitch-hike." The trick was to jump the boat at night and hide under a life boat or in the hold. George's entire capital consisted of $5.00 American money, so fancier quarters were not possible. A job in a sugar refinery in London enabled him to save enough money after six months for passage to New York where he had relatives in the candy business. San Francisco, however, still remained the main objective.

There was no Panama Canal in those days, but there was a Panama Railroad which transferred passengers from one side of the Isthmus to the other. George, earmarking a boat for Panama, was soon steaming South.

Arriving in San Francisco, he looked up his brother, Peter, who secured a job for him with David Woerner, a skilled cooper, who made beer barrels and beer tanks. Woerner's company was to become the present Western Cooperage Company.

George Windeler liked the cooperage business and after eight years went into business for himself ; making beer barrels and brewery tanks and later specializing in oak oval wine casks. The year was 1885, the beginning of the machine age, and so, determined to progress rvith the tines,

he bought a small planing mill and in 1897 commenced operations.

Motive power for the plant rvas a 75 H.P. steam engine and some new machinery was installed to make tanks and barrels. Almost at once, problems developed. There were not enough shavings and sawdust to provide fuel for the boiler. He decided he would install a matcher and a resaw and go after the custom millwork for the lumber yards who had no mills of their own. fn that way, he could make a little profit and also have extra fuel to supply the boiler economically.

Things ran along with a fair degree of success, but April 18, 1906, came, the date of the San Francisco earthquake and fire. The plant, which was then located at 144 Berry Street, was surrounded by fire. Employees battled valiantly with wet sacks beating out sparks drifting across the sky while the San Francisco Fire Dept. pumped water from the Bay and sprayed it over adjacent roofs. The fire mains were broken and water was running short. Ii was then that the Windeler water storage tank supplied water for the fire engine boilers, and after three days of heat and superhuman effort, the plant was saved. Subsequent to the fire, business poured in and custom millwork boomed.

In 1912, the plant had a private fire of its own, which resulted in an almost total loss. Hardly had the heat of this conflagration cooled, when George Windeler set about rebuilding and replacing machinery. The property itself was leased from the Southern Pacific on their usual month to month basis and soon after the business was re-established, misfortune struck again. The railroad, desiring to provide for extension of railroad trackage, notified him that he must vacate.

Discouragement sebms not to have entered into George Windeler's make-up. Once again, he found another site for his tank business, at Bth and Hooper Streets. He built a new mill, which was a better and more efficient plant, but this time he had a nice crisp sheet of paper which told all and sundry that this property was to be his under leasehold for twenty years. He had not been negligent or unaware of the results of putting up a plant on land leased on a month-to-month basis, but when one has to meet payrolls, pay for machinery and incoming cars of lumber, the financial problem becomes one where chances must be taken on certain propositions.

In lX)7 , the area where the present Windeler mill stands, was a big muddy duckpond full of tules. From Third Street to Bayshore Highway and from Alemany to Armv Streets, the tides washed in and out. The land, however, had one great virtue, it was excellent for duck hunting. When George Windeler came out to see the property, he wasn't looking for ducks. In his mind was the belief that one day the San Francisco Industrial District would have to expand, and when it did, it would come out to this duckpond.

Third and. Berry was becoming crowded; there were too many lumber yards and not enough room, so he purchased this underwater land. Other companies bought nearer to shore. As they filled in their properties, a road was made to the Windeler site and soon he was able to start filling. The work extended over many years, but he built for the future. The water \4ras 10 to 15 feet deep and in many places, the mud extended down 100 feet. Loads of rock were dumped only to sink out of sight, but the day came when solid ground began to appear. It is this area upon which the mill now stands.

He then decided that his would be the finest mill and tank shop in tl-re city. He had experienced enough of wooden gangways and the muddy yards of the old days. Here, runways wete to be paved and footing would be solid and trustworthy so men could do their work well and in safety. His mill would be enclosed; no longervr'ould men be required to stand at their machines rvith the wind and rain driving over them, and it would be fully protected against fire hazards by an automatic sprinkler system. It was to be a good place to work; good for the men and good for the progress of this valiant firm.

In 1931, the office building was completed and finally in 1934, when the main buildings were completed, the machinery and crew moved from the old location and operations began.

There was extensive paving, lighting was scientific, construction was rugged, and ideal working conditions lvere the order of the day. And so, the present \Vindeler Plant stands as a memorial to its founder who literally pulled himself up by the boot straps and built his empire.

George Windeler died September 3, 1941, at the age of 85. Truly he represented the very finest that the Old World had to give to the New.

Giqnt Redwood qnd Sugor Pine Groves Become Permonent Colifornicr Porks

Two giant transfers of California timber that have been in the making for a long time, were consummated during the last week in May. On May 27th the Pickering Lumber Corporation, at Standard, California, transferred to the State of California for park purposes, a 2llf-acre tract in Tuolumne County, on which stands one of the most beautiful groves of Sequoia Gigantea trees in existence. This grove is intermingled with and surrounded by other timber species, Sugar Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Fir, and Tncense Cedar. The price ann'ounced by Gov. Knight was $2,800,000.

The State announcement states that a final gift of one million dollars from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., made the deal possible.

Just a few clavs previous to the conclusion of the giant Redwood deal, the United States Forest Service secured from the Pickering Lumber Corporation the so-called Sugar Pine Memorial Grove in Tuolumne County, on a trade basis. This is a stand of magnificent Sugar Pine timber covering nearly 400 acres, one of the finest groves ,of this species that ever

grew. This tract was secured via the trade route, the Government transferring to the lumber corporation cutting rights of equal commercial value to the big grove. The timber thus secured by Pickering is in their cutting area.

M.. J. C. Rassenfoss, president and general rnanager of the Pickering' Lumber Corporation, at Standard, confirms both these deals in a letter dated Mav 27th.

Governor Knighr Predicts Greot School Building Progrqm

Governor Goodwin J. Knight announced recently that the planned school construction program of the State of California for the next six years will cost about a billion dollars total. This estimate was based on an anticipated need for the equivalent of 1@ additional classrooms every week until the end of 1960. He also predicted that California n'ill spend $150,000,m0 this year on highway construction.

Olin-Mqfhieson Forming Huge Corporotion

Newspapers report the approaching merger of two great industrial corporations, Olin Industries, Inc., and Mathieson Chemical Corporaton, into the Olin-Mathieson Chemical Corporation, with half a billion dollars capital. These are among' the largest industrial concerns in America.

This is of particular interest to the lumber industry since one oI the industrial units belonging to Olin is the Frost Forest Products Division, composed of what was formerly Frost Lumber Industries, of Shreveport, Louisiana. This big lumber and timber unit consists of a battery of large sarvmills in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas, and 450,000 acres of fine timber land in those states that promise their mills a permanent log supply.

The directors of both the big corporations have approved the merger, which will be completed at stockholders meetings on June D.

Son Francisco's Keep Green Progrom

The San Fran'cisco Chamber of Commerce "Keep Green" program for forest and range fire prevention, which has brought national recognition to San Francisco, has been expanded and is off to an early start this year. Left to right are Chamber President Jesse W. Tapp, D. R. McNeill, vice president of Foster and Kleiser Co., and William J. Losh, chairman of the Chamber's Keep Green Committee, at a billboard donated by Foster and Kleiser to spread the Chamber's fire prevention message. The program, which recognizes the economic importance to the city of the vast forest and range areas of Northern California, brings home to city residents their obligation to help prevent fires when traveling or visiting in these areas. The billboards are only one of a number of means the Chamber's Keep Green Committee is using to disseminate the fire prevention message.

Great Home Air Conditioning Proiect ln Texos

On June 2, a research project was launched in Austin, Texas. On that day,22 families moved into 22 new, completely air conditioned homes in the Edgewood subdivision of Northwest Austin to become "guinea pigs" for a oneyear study of the mechanical, financial and human problems involved in the use of year-round rveather control in the average home.

The scientists who will conduct this research work hope to find the answers to such questions as these:

Is air conditioning economically practicable for homes costing as little as $12,000?

How much does it cost to operate air conditioning system in a frame house ? Masonry ? Combination brick and frame ?

Are the children better behaved in an air conditioned environment? Are colds and allergies reduced in air conditioned homes ?

Does the housewife feel more like doing her daily chores when her home is as comfortable as her husband's air-cooled offi'ce?

The Austin project is sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders.

New Mochines Speed Log Handling ot Everett

Everett, Wash.: A hydraulically powered log splitter and a twelve-foot floating rip saw, both of which incorporate unique design features, are helping Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's Everett lumber division improve wholelog utilization and speed the handling of oversize logs.

Designed and developed by local Weyerhaeuser personnel, the new machines represent a further step in the efficient use of all the forest harvest.

Located at Mill C, the hydraulic log splitter develops 65 tons pressure using water from the hydraulic barker pumps. Operating on a hydraulic ram prin,ciple, the splitter forces 8-foot logs through four knives arranged in a crisscross or tic-tac-toe pattern. Logs up to 42 inches in diameter are split to a maximum width of 12 inches. The split pieces can then be chipped and conveyed to the adjacent Weyerhaeuser pulp mill.

The twelve-foot rip saw is housed in a covered shed mounted on two pontoons which provide a floating platform. Located on the log pond in front of Mill C, the big chain saw rips huge logs down the center, so that they may be conveniently handled by the sawmills. Logs 6 feet in diameter and larger, too big for the headrig to handle efficiently, are halved and then quartered in a fraction of the time it formerly took to do the job with wedges and sledges.

Logs are floated into position between the two pontoolts, locked in place with pins from each side, and ripped down the center by the chain saw which moves the length of the shed on its carriage. The saw. driven by a 3O-horsepower electric motor, is positioned hydraulically.

Both the hydraulic splitter and the floating rip saw were designed and developed by Weyerhaeuser with Alan Smith, plant superintendent, and Ted Fuller and Howard Hunt, assistant superintendents, playing key roles.

Housing Stqrts High

Starts of privately owned housing advanced in April to the highest level for any month in more than 3l years, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. A 14 per cent rise from March brought the total number of new dwelling units begun in April to 110,000, of which 109,100 were privately owned. Public housing starts dropped from 1,200 in March to 900 in April. The April rise in private housing was general throughout the country, except in the Southeast.

Redwood Assn. Reports 1953 Production Record

The annual production report of the California Redwood Association was issued from San Francisco on May 26th, and the final conclusion arrived at is that "it seems certain that 1953 set a record for. Redwood production and tl-rat it n.ray have reacl-red 950 million feet or more."

That is a lot of Redwood. Production figures for other than Redwood lumber in the Redwood region are also very high. The figures in detail contained in the report are from 40 companies, and these do not represent all the lumber produced in the Redwood region, but only those that replied to the Redwood Association's request for statistics.

Roilroods Bought 176 Millions Worth of Wood

The amount of forest products purchased by the nation's Class I railroads in 1953 totaled $176 miliion. according to statistics on railroad expenditures compiled by the Association of American Railroads in Washington, D. C.

In a report prepared for the annual meeting of the A.A.I{. Purchases and Stores Division held June 7-9 in Chicago, the A.A.R. revealed that crossties accounted for the biggest portion of the railroads' expenditures for forest products.

The sum spent on treated and untreated ties exceeded $96 million, representing about 55 per cent of the total amount spent last year by the railroads for various kinds of rvood materials.

In addition to the purchase of crossties, the railroads paid out $25.4 million for switch and bridge ties and timber, $43 million for rough and finished lumber and 911.2 million for other forest products.

Plywood From New Guineo Enters Son Froncisco Horbor

(San Francisco Chronicle)

It seems fitting that something new should come into the port of San Francisco during our observance of Foreign Trade week. And something is on the way.

It is the first shipment of Klinki plywood from New Guinea. It arrived for unloading in our Foreign Trade Zone.

There is an interesting story of international cooperation as well as trade behind this first import of a new product. That story is told by Hugh J. Jacks, president of The Pacific Coast Company, and A. W. Agnew, president of California Pacific Plywood, Inc., of Sonoma, a u'hollyowned subsidiary.

Friday evening, May 2I, marked a successful Concat for the San Francisco Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. 3. The meeting was held at the Bellevue Hotel in San Francisco, and saw 21 "Kittens" enlightened as to "Hoo-Hoo Land" in a full Hoo-Hoo Concat ceremony. Ann Murray, founder and organizer of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. 1, made a special trip from Los Angeles to be present for this first No. 3 Club Concat, and in addition, the following San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9 members were present: Bob Bonner, Hedlund Lumber Sales, Inc.; Al Bell, Hobbs Wall Lumber Co.; John Driscoll, Simpson Logging Co.; Jack Dollar, The Robert Dollar Co. and photographer for the event; Jim Ramsey, Weyerhaeuser Sales Co. ; Earl Carlson and John Saner, Santa Fe Lumber Co.; Herb Schaur, South City Lumber & Supply Co.; and Max Cook, The California Lumber Merchant.

Following is a list of the "Kittens" given the full treatment at the Concat, however some of the bystanders noted that during certain parts of the ceremony the gals seemed remarkably informed.

Claire Zimmerman, Lumber Merchants Assn. of Northern California; Janet Johnston, The Robert Dollar Co. ; Tilo Trethewey, Santa Fe Lumber Co.; Sally Haddox, Weyerhaeuser Sales Co.; Lucy Lipe, The Pacific Lumber Co.; Ruth Belvin, Union Lumber Co.; Elise Wahlund, Simpson Logging Co.; Delores Swift, Simpson Logging Co.; Peggy Brooks, Wood Conversion Co.; Florence Barnes, Gillon Lumber Co.; Avonne Akey, A. M. Hardy Co.; Mildred Machtowski, The Pacific Lumber Co.; Emily Bassonville, Simpson Logging Co.; Doris Belber, Hobbs \A,'a11 Lumber Co. ; Lois Dobberstein, Geneva Lumber Co.; Lee Braden, Dant & Russell Sales Co. (Fir-Tex Division) ;

Klinki plywood is produced in a new $3,000,000 plant just erected in New Guinea. The plant was built by Commonwealth-New Guinea Timbers, Ltd., and was financed jointly by Bulolo Gold Dredging, Ltd., a company r,vhose stock is largely owned by Americans, and by the Commonwealth Government of Australia.

So it's a partnership of government and private enterprise.

The mill itself is the biggest and most modern in the Southern Hemisphere, and it was designed by American engineers-Industrial Engineers and Contractors of Tacoma, Wash. It is equipped with the latest Arnerican plywood processing machinery, and operated by Australians.

The plant is running two shifts on a five-day r'veek, and its output is moved 75 miles over a mountain highway to the port of Lae for overseas shipment.

It was put there, in tough back-country jungle, because that's the site of a virgin stand of timber of exceptionally high quality. It's almost grainless and has an exceptionally low persentage of knots.

So the logs yield a maximum of high-grade veneer and plywood. And incidentally, a program of reforestation has already been inaugurated.

California Pacific Plywoods is importing the l(linki wood, both as veneer and plywood. It plans to utilize the veneer for the faces of plywood panels, with the inner plys made from tin-rber stands of the company in X'fendocino county.

The product will be offered for sale by California I'acific Plywoods and by Fiddes-Moore & Co. of Chicago.

WASHINGTON-A sharp increase of 36 per cent in the number of lumber manufacturing companies sponsoring individual research projects at the TECO laboratory during the first four months of the current fiscal year, as compared with the same period a year ago, is reported by C. A' Rishell, director of research, Tirirber Engineering Company, engineering and research affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

The upsurge in lumber clientele contributed to an 11 per cent increase over last year in the number of research contracts awarded by all clientele classifications. In addition to lumber companies' private contracts, the laboratory is conducting resear'ch for several lumber associations.

Fir Plywood €otolog

The 1954 catalog giving basic information about fir plywood to both specifiers and users of "America's busiest building material" has been issued by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

More than 54 million feet of Redwood were produced during 1953 at the modern, S7-acre plant of the Eureka Redwood Lumber Company, Eureka, California. The 1954 production schedule will exceed 60 million feet, according to Carl S. Walker, general manager of the concern.

Eureka Redwood Lumber Company is owned by the M and M Wood Working Company of Portland, Oregon, and is managed by the following'veteran lumbermen in addition to Mr. Walker: Alden Ball, plant manager; W. L. Brauning, sales manager; Del Slone, office manager, and Haley Bertain, shipping manager.

The greater percentage of California Redwood produced by Eureka is shipped to the middlewest and eastern states with the balance being consumed in Northern and Southern Californib, according to Dean Jones, Southern California manager for the manufacturing firm.

Eureka Redwood Lumber Company is a member of the California Redwood Association.

Max Krause, Lloyd Webb, Milton Pastornak, and Charlie Wilson of E. J. Stanton and Son, Inc', Los Angeles, spent the last week of May visiting executives of the Harold Casteel Mill Industries, Ukiah, California. Enroute home they stopped over in Sacramento.

Well illustrated with drawings and photographs, the ner,v catalog contains vital information about the types, grades and physical properties of plywood as well as FHA requirements for use in home construction.'

Single copies may be obtained without charge from Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Wash., or from plywood salesmen.

Redwoods Never Die NoturollY

One of the great Indians of history was Se-quo-yah. He was not a warrior like Sitting Bull. He was a thinker. He belonged to the Cherokee Tribe. The white men called him George Guess. In 1s21 he invented an alphabet for the Indian people, the first in their history. His tribe learned to read and write with his crude but practical alphabet. So, when it came to naming the most majestic group of trees growing on earth, the giant Redwoods of California, the white botanists kept alive the memory of the Indian thinker, and named the tree after him-Sequoia. Thus his name will live as long as things live upon this earth, for the Sequoia is the one and only living thing-so far as man can discover and measure-that never dies a natural death.

All men know something of the Redwoods of California. But the one outstanding thought that is seldom uttered concerning them is this fact about the LIFE of the tree. Scientists who have given much thought to the matter are of the opinion that, except for violence, the Sequoia Gigantes, has never died a natural death' They have been standing for thousands of years, and there is no indication that, like other trees, they become mature and decay. It is difficult to conceive of such a thing, but it appears that as far as our way of measuring time is concerned, this tree is everlasting.

Col. George Stewart wrote a book years ago called "Big Trees of the Giant Forest," and in it he tells of how almost miraculously one of tlre Redwoods will heal itself if terribly damaged, though not entirely destroyed. He says that when terribly burned by forest fires, one of these trees will actually renew its bark and covering, build new buttresses around its roots for their protection, and then continue its life uninterrupted. Sometimes lightning strikes one of these trees so as to entirely destroy its life. But otherwise, its health and life seem permanent.

But it probably won't be for long. The un-meek will take it away from them just as soon as they get it located.

Mocy's or Gimbels

A man who always bragged to his friends that he would live and die a bachelor, suddenly got married. One of his friends, learning about it, called him up and asked what happened.

"I married a girl from Gimbel's," said the New Yorker. "I used to buy at her counter, she was always attractive, one day I took her to lunch, and then, you know how those things develop. I married her."

Said the friend.: "Well, now that you're married, what do you think about it?"

There rvas a pause, and then the newlywed replied: "sometimes I wonder if I couldn't have done better at Macy's?"

The commanding officer announced to his squad: "We're outnumbered four to one, so do your best."

Immediately a Southerner started blazing away. Soon he stopped, and leaned his rifle against a tree. The officer asked him:

He answered: "Well, I got mY four."

The Chqmber of Commerce ldeq

Bu IACK DIONNE

Where did the Chamber of Commerce idea come from ? Who originatecl it, and when ? I cannot speak with authority on that subject. But I CAN utter an opinion. I think it was an Athenian named Themistocles. Ever hear of him? Sure you have. If you want to brush up your acquaintance right quickly, you will find his history the very first one in the front of the greatest of all ancient books of biography, "Plutarch's Lives." Several hundred years before the Christian era, Themistocles lived. He was statesman and soldier, and also something of a philosopher. His mother was born in a land outside of Greece, which made her a despised alien. National lines were closely drawn in those days. But rvhen her son came to his glory in Athens, whenever another woman would point a finger at her and call her "alien," she would draw herself up proudly and reply: "Yes, but the mottrer of Themistocles." And that was sufficient answer. She had borne a great man. Now to the Chamber of Commerce application of this story of Themistocles:

One day in a great gathering of people, many had taken turns entertaining the crowd with musical instruments. Finally they asked Themistocles what he could do to entertain. And hear what he said: "I cannot play upon any stringed instrttment," said Themistocles, "but I can tell you how to make a city grow." lJnfortunately the writers of old went no further with the story. Whether or not they took the great man up on his offer, and what he said if they did, is lost in the dark clouds of the past. Too bad some enterprising journalist could not have been there to take down the notes, and leave to posterity the secret of city building that Themistocles said he knew. Ever since I first read that remark of the great Athenian I have regretted that no report was made of his opinion. Did he really know something important, something practical, something inspiring that others could use who wanted to build their home town?

One rnan's guess on the subject is as good as another's. We will never know what Themistocles thought he knew. But my guess is that he was simply going to tell them THIS fact: that men grorv from within, and not from without. And a city, being simply a group of men, doei the same, and gro\t's the same way. When a Chamber of Commerce starts in to work in behalf of its home town, it must never forget that ambition and common sense go ever hand in hand. One of its initial jobs is to see that the citizenship does not get the bad habit of being too well satisfied with things as they are, willing to let rvell enough alone ; or to assume that the future of the town depends on the winds of chance. It is true that the Bible says that "the race is not always to the swift, nor yet the battle to the strong," but some modern wisecracker says he still recommends them as the best bets. Godlike restlessness is what makes all the progress of the world. The universe itself seems to be the result of God's unrest. Had He been satisfied with things as they were, lle rvould never have taken the trouble to make it.

Someone asked the great electrical wizard, Steinmetz, horv a young man might best work to achieve success, and he

replied: "Do not try to see how fast you can make your machine run, but try rather to see how perfectly you can tune it and line it and make it operate; then the speed will take care of itself." That's my idea of rvhat the Chamber of Commerce, particularly in a small town, can do. Don't start in to make that town bulge from the outside; start in to make it strong, and friendly, and happy, and healthy from the inside. Every forward stride of man or town, begins with an honest self-inventory. I think the difference between a bum town and a boom town is often the difference in the Chamber of Commerce. Just because your town is outstripping my town, or my town is forging ahead of your town, does not necessarily mean that the faster-growing one has any particular geographical or other physical advantage. It usually means that the fast-growing town has a cooperative citizenship who love and believe in it, and have the courage to put their shoulders and heads together to work out their own problems. lf you should see a great rock rolling heavily UP a hill, you wouldn't have to go 'round behind it to know that some force back there was pushing to beat the band, would you ? And whenever you see a city that is doing the same thing, you can come to the same conclusion that you would with regarcl to the rock. You know that there are strong and earnest and courageous men working together to make the thing happen. The good things of the world don't just happen, to me or citis.

You may have guessed that part of my reason for writing in this way at this time is to help the many lumbermen who may have Chamber of Commerce speeches to make. That's one of the reasons. The other is to help the lumber folks get started in on their Chamber of Commerce activities. The best Chamber of Commerce story I ever heard was uttered by a farmer. This was many years ago. I think things have changed a lot since then. He was regretting that the coopera-

' tion was not close enough between the business men of the average agricultural city, and the farmers of the country around. FIe told of a town where there was a Chamber of Commerce for the business men, and a F-armer's Association. Each met twice a month in the evening. There was only one town hall, so both met there, but on different nights. A farmer got his dates mixed, and one night he knocked at the door of the hall, while the Chamber of Commerce was in session. The keeper of the gate slid the peekhole opeu, and asked for the countersign. The farmer replied: "We plow; we sow; we reap." The puzzled gatekeeper asked him to repeat it. The farmer did: "We plow; we sow; we reap." The gatekeeper saw what had happenecl, and as he slid the peekhole shut he said: "Go to H-ll, you poor farmer." The puzzled. farmer went back and met another farmer, and related what had happened. The other fellow told him that he was in on the wrong r-right, and that that was the Charnber of Commerce he had tried to get into. "And do you rnean to tell me," said the second farmer, "that you gave our password to the Chamber of Commerce?" "I did," said the first farmer, "and the Chamber of Commerce gave their password to tne."

Fire levels Grohom lumber Compony In Mqrin County

Fanned by winds up to 42 miles an hour, a raging fire destroyed the Graham Lumber Co. yard in Marin County early Wednesday morning, May '26. Damage was estimated at $200,000 by County Fire Chief Charles Reilley.

The lumber yard, at the San Quentin "Y" on the West side of Highway 101, stretches for about three blocks along the highway.

First call on'the fire came from the San Rafael Fire Department at 3:11 a.m., but the blaze lvas not brought under control until 5 :57 a.m. The height of the flames ,coupled with blustery winds drove the fire across the six lane Highway 101, cutting off through traffic for over 20 minutes.

An important volume (not reported in the foregoing Customs District figures) originates in our area, but clears through customs along the Canadian and Mexican borders, and at Gulf and Atlantic ports. For example: the impressive amount of citrus fruits and juice shipped to Canada; motion pictures produced in Hollywood, but exported from New York; and exports of commercial aircraft manufactured in our Area, which in 1953 totaled 310 units with a value of $1 14,600,000 and were "'flown away" to destination. Also, contributing to our economy is the annual $100,000,000 trade between Southern California and the Hawaiian Islands.

Government Specificqfions For Wood Producfs

The booklet, "Directory of U.S. Government Specifications for Wood Products," lists the wood products and the agencies from whicl-r specifications may be obtained. A limited number of copies of the directory are available, without charge, on request to Timber Engineering Cornpany, 13318-18th Street, N. W., Washington 6, D. C.

The fire engulfed lumber piles and two buildings, one hou.sing an office and merchandise display, the other a 100 x 150 foot planing mill. In the office firemen found a safe, its door blown open. Whether this was due to the fire or other causes was not determined.

In all, 17 county fire fighting units and 40 county firemen were called to the scene, as well as one unit and four men from San Rafael.

Forestry Reporl For 1953

Eureka, Calif.: Deliveries of sawlogs from the Six Rivers National Forest and the Northern Redwood Purchase unit amounted to a total of 13.4 million feet during the calendar year of 1953, approximately half of the 1952 cut, according to a national forest service report.

The decrease was the result of several contributing factors, the report said, including lack of prepared sales, lack of access road surveys, and somewhat due to decreased demand on account of a slump in the fir market.

However, considerable progress was made in 1953 in preparing sales, which is expected to result in an ir-rcrease in cut of considerable proportions during 1954.

The Lower Trinity ranger district led other administrative units in 1953 'ivith a total cut of nearly six and a half million feet. The Redrvood Unit was next, with nearly five and a half million feet. Sixty-seven per cent of all timber scaled was Douglas fir,281 per cent was redwoocl, and 3/z per cent was ponderosa pine, with small volumes of sugar, pine, hemlock, Port Orford cedar, and incense cedar.

3OO Million Cubic Feet of Wood Treoted in | 953

Approximately 300,188,000 cubic feet of wood materials were treated with preservatives such as creosote, coal-tar, petroleum, pentachlorophenol, and chromated zinc chloride during 1953, the U. S. Department of Agriculture announces.

The report, issued by the Forest Service in cooperation with the American Wood Preservers' Association, shows that the materials preserved include; 39,305,000 crossties, 5,336,000 poles, 22,O57,000 f ence posts, 5,27 8,0W crossarms, 413,619,000 board feet of lumber, n336,M linear feet of piling, I32,9rc,n0 board feet of switch ties,2,125,00O square yards of wood blocks, 62,500,000 board feet of timbers and 47,777,0m board feet of miscellaneous items.

Although the report is preliminary, based on information fuom 278 of the 306 knor,vn wood treating plants throughout the country, indications are that the amount of wood treated in 1953 was five per cent less than the 314,998,00O cubic feet of material treated in 1952. Greatest decreases were reported in treatment of crossties, poles, lumber, piling, and wood blocks. The number of crossarms treated, however, increased 67 per cent. A final report with revised data will be published this fall.

The use of liquid preservatives such as creosote, coal tar, and petroleum decreased 9 per cent from 267,193,538 gallons in 1952 to 243,068,734 gallons in 1953. Solid preservatives (applied as liquids), however, such as pentachlorophenol, chromated zinc chl'oride, and others increased 8 per cent from 12,425,156 pounds in 1952 to 13,429,744 in 1953.

The report also includes tables showing the breakdown of the classes of u'ood material treated by the preservative used, kinds of wood and method of treatment and the amount treated in each region. A copy of the report (Preliminary Wood Preservation Statistics, 1953) may be obtained by writing to the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 25, D.C.

Governmenl Inill Operolors Use Mine Detectors

Third Army Headquarters, Fort McPherson, GeorgiaMine detectors, those highly sensitive electrical appliances which helped to cut down the loss of life during World War II as the American troops and their allies pushed back the enemies of civilization, are again in demand.

But this time, the mine detectors are being used commercially, and are helping to supply the timber needed by American industry.

Saw mill operators who are cutting, and sawing lumber on Third Army reservations are now employing the mine detectors to determine whether or not there is any shrapnel buried in the logs.

Logs infested with shrapnel play havoc with the giant saws which convert a log into lumber, by tearing out the teeth in the saws. Because of the danger to the saw, contractors are hesitant to buy timber which has been exposed to artillery fire, and those who did take a chance, often bid in the timber at prices far below the normal market.

As a result of experiments .with the mine detectors, it has been determined that timber cut on Army posts can be made as safe as timber that has never been exposed to gunfire. Cost of the mine detector tests is very small, and the Army is now lending lumber mill operators who cor-rtract to cut timber on Army posts, the detectors so that they can test the logs which may have been exposed to fire by the big guns as military personnel undergo their training.

W. R. Becton, the Third Army forester, estimates there are about 700,000 acres of forest land on. Army installations within the Third Army, horvever, only a small portion of this has ever been exposed to gunfire, as the areas subjeit tb gunfire have largely been cleared.

Sale of this timber in the field is now bringing the government about $1,000,000 per year. The trees are sold on

a "perpetual forestry" basis. Only those trees large enough to be sawed are being ,cut, and the smaller trees left to grow.

When timber at an Army installation is sold to a mill operator, the operator sets up his sarv mill on the post, and turns out the finished lumber there.

Timber to be cut and sar,ved up into lumber this year, it is estimated, will net the government about $900,000, Lt. General A. R. Bolling, Commanding General, Third Army, has been informed.

Third Army installations u,here saw timber is to be found are Fort Bragg, N. C., Fort Jackson, S. C., Camp Gordon, Ga., Camp Stewart, Ga., fort Benning, Ga., Camp Rucker, Ala., Fort McClellan, Ala., and Fort Campbell, Ky.

At these installations, Post Commanders are lending the sa'rv mill operators the mine detecting equipment so that they can reduce the danger of damaging their saws.

Shrapnel will be found in only a small percentage of the logs, the forester said, and the mine detectors have practically eliminated this hazard to the sarvs. In some instances, the detectors have revealed shrapnel buried as deep as eight inches in the log.

When the mine detector reveals a piece of metal in the 1og, it is a simple matter for a 'l'r,orkman, using r.r "ri", to chop the steel out, and in this \\'ay,,a good portion of the log is still usable for timber manufacturers.

Kenneth Porker Gets Forest Promofion

The selection of Kenneth Parker to fill the position of Chief of Range Management for tl.re California Region was announced recently by Regional Forester Clare Hendee. This important post r,vas recently made vacant by the sudden death of former Range Chief Walter Wetzel.

The California Region of the Forest Service is fortunate to have a man of Mr. Parker's caliber and experience for the position of Assistant Regional Forester in charge of all range management activities.

G. Miles Burpee Heqds Wood Preservers Associofion

Chicago-C. Miles Burpee of New York City has assumed his new position as secretary-manager of the Service Bureau, American Wood-Preservers' Assn., it is announced bV E.J. McGehee, chairman of the Service Bureau board of directors.

Burpee, who has resigned as vice president and director of the Simmons-Boardman Publishing Corp., New York City, will filI the post formerly held by Percy R. Hicks, who has retired after 33 years with the Service Bureau.

The Service Bureau is the official organization serving the wood pressure treating industry, representing major American and Canadian pressure treating companies and firms supplying chemicals used in preserving wood against termites, marine borers and decay, as well as making it fire retardant. It maintains its headquarters at 111 W. Washington Street, Chicago, but also has field engineers located in New York City, Washington, Lawrence, Kans., Portland, Ore., and Sacramento, Calif.

"Horse or Steqm?tt Roilst Gluestion

Washington-A dim view of any material improvement in the future breeds of horses, augmented by an unknown quality in the breed of locomotives to be placed at man's command, swayed the decision of the first railroad in the nation to turn from horse-power to steam-power back in l8D. Less than 25 miles of railroad were operated in the United States then. Today, nearly 331,000 miles of track, supported by more than 992 million wood cross ties, and hundreds of wood bridges and trestles, are maintained by the railroads.

Retiring the horse to green pastures, and releasing steam to broader horizons, introduces a chronological account of "100 Years of Engineering Progress with Wood on the Railroads," by H. Austill, retired chief engineer of the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, Missouri. now a consulting engineer of Spring Hill, Alabama.

Mr. Austill's historical paper, presented at a wood symposium, has been printed and made available by Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Mr. Austill not only cites cross-tie improvements, in which the Te'co laboratory has had a major role, but points out the importance of timber in railway construc-. tion of trestles, bridges, terminal warehouses, and operational structures.

"I am convinced," stated Mr. Austill , "that our colleges have been inclined to give too little stress to the study of timber as a structural material, and that much time and talent that was devoted to a search for a good substitute might have been better spent on a means to preserve the material and improve design of wood structures."

Copies of Mr. Austill's paper are available to company officials, professional men, and libraries, without charge, on request to Timber Engineering Company, Department AP-R, 1319-18th Street, N. W., Washington 6, D. C.

Weyerhqeuser Mqkes Ply-Veneer With Monsqnto Adhesives

(From the Monsonto Mogozine

The marriage of wood and paper which took place more than four years ago in alert research and development brains in the Pacific Northwest has produced a lusty progeny. The offspring of the union already has caused a stir in the multimillion-dollar packaging industry where it neatly plugs the interval between fiber ,cartons and wooden boxes.

Weyerhaeuser Timber Company performed the wedding ceremony in its Longview, Wash., development center. The company has christened the resultant stripling, a sprig ofi the lordly Douglas fir family tree, Ply-Veneer. Weyerhaeuser has nation-wide hopes for it.

Ply-Veneer is a wood and paper sandwich. A fir veneer, mechanically distended and routed along the lines where it will be folded, has kraft container-board, made of fir chips, glued to each side. With this newly-developed material, Weyerhaeuser can form boxes, drums, cylinders and panel stock. They can be shipped and stored flat, printed on and handled easily, thrust into cold storage and r,valloped on the corners.

As Weyerhaeuser puts it, "Ply-Veneer has all the advantages of wooden boxes and of corrugated fiber cartons without perpetuating some of their disadvantages." That is to say: While the material is stiff and resists crushing like wood, it's light, tough and smooth like fiber.

Ten days of alternate soaking and drying tested the permanence of the bond between paper and wood. PlyVeneer, put together with a moisture-resistant Monsanto adhesive, emerged from the ordeal without delamination, edge splitting, rupture, wrinkling or warping.

Although an eight-inch Ply-Veneer container 24 by 12 by 12 inches weighed half as much as a competitive box of the same size, it proved twice as stout in "corner-drop" tests. In diagonal compression tests Ply-Veneer proved to be three to four times as rigid as the other box.

Weyerhaeuser tailors Ply-Veneer to fit the product that customers want to package: fruits and vegetables, meat and meat produ,cts, metal and plastic parts, ammunition

of Monsonto Chemicol Co.)

and explosives, butter and cheese. The containers arrive knocked down and users can put thern together by taping, banding, stapling or nailing.

Veneer in the Ply-Veneer sandn'ich can be a tenth, an eighth or three-sixteenths of an inch thick. The paper facing can be made of 42- or 9O-pound kraft on both sides or 42-pound on one side and 90-pound on the other side.

Wooden end cleats make some types of cartons stronger and easier to handle. To help hold the nailed cleats Weyerhaeuser inserts steel straps under the outer layer of containerboard.

The wooden cleats, in,cidentally, show to what extent Weyerhaeuser has been able to utilize the output of its various mills in a single product. The cleats come from the box-shook plant of Weyerhaeuser's Klamath Falls, Ore., Branch. The veneer comes from the Lumber Division's new plywood plant at Springfield, Oregon. The paper comes from the Pulp Division at Springfield.

All three-cleats, veneer and containerboard-meet at Springfield, where a section of the plywood plant is given over to Ply-Veneer manufacture. This is the first time that products of the Weyerhaeuser Pulp and Lumber Divisions unite at the same plant to form a product.

It looks like a happy combination.

Hoyword Absorbs Pqso Robles Yord

The Homer T. Hayward Lumber Company, of Paso Robles, California, has recently absorbed its affiliate concern, the Paso Robles Lumber Company, and has moved to the plant and offices of the latter concern at 944 Pine Street. The merger was made necessary because their old Riverside Street plant is being taken over by the new Highway 101 Freeway, which is being routed through that area. John Fisher, manager of the Hayward yard is manager of the merged operation, assisted by Bud Thorndyke and Rod Gamble.

Gelotex Sqles Clinics

A series of Sales Clinics for the salesmen of wholesale distributors of Celotex Building Products is being conducted by Celotex executives in key cities throughout the country.

Coff YUkon 2-0945 orTel SF 530 West

While better salesmanship is the central theme of these programs, the subjects of territory'management' sales objectives, schedule planning, advertising, merchandising and customer relations, are covered.

All Celotex Products, including new additions to the Celotex line, are on display during the meetings. The Clinic programs cover two entire days and each salesman, at the conclusion of the program, receives a certificate attesting his attendance.

The Clinic staff consists of the following Celotex executives: E. C. Rautenberg, E. E. Dierking, Allen Cassin. assistant general sales manager; Ira L. Birner and John J. Schmitt, architectural sales department; Meade NI. Morris, in charge of insulation and gypsum sales; F. W. Lagerquist, manager of the roofing and allied products department; Gates Ferguson, director of advertising and sales promotion; and Gordon G. Morrison, in charge of sales training.

The abundance of West Coast hemlock has made possible the great growth of Washington-Oregon pulp and paper production in the past 20 years, although at present more than half of the region's pulp is'cooked from Douglas fir.

Urges Complete Revision of Gqliforniq Housing Act

Complete revision of the California State Housing Act to eliminate archaic sections and unnecessary detailed construction spe.cifications was advocated by John Baxter, area supervisor for the State Division of Housing, when he spoke before a recent meeting of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Construction Industries Committee, in Los Angeles.

Speaking on the topic, "Should State Housing Standards Be Revised?" Baxter told the 60 members in attendance that the last complete revision of the Housing Act was made in 1923. He said that an effort was made to revise it in 1949, but the legislature killed it.

He emphasized that in any revision tl-rere should be less material in the Act on minute specifications for construction and more stress on the fundamental requirements for health and safety measures.

The group learned that an Assembly Interim Committee, headed by Assemblyman A. I. Stewart of Pasadena, will hold hearings shortly throughout the state to elicit ideas from builders, architects, engineers and others con.cerned with the construction industry on the proposed revision of the Act.

Presiding at the meeting u'as Quentin W. Best, chairman. of the Chamber's Construction Industries Committee.

The first steam sawmill in Oregon was built at what is now Coos Bay around 1867.

New Wood Floor for Steel Trucks

WashingtonA special hardn'ood floor overlay, designed "at the request of the Government to restore smoothness to Steel cargo truck body floors, has been developed under the nation's hardrvood research program at the laboratory of Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of National Lumber Manfacturers Association.

The new floor, installed in a 2/2-ton Army truck, has started its longtime, rigorous loading tests at the Army's Aberdeen, Maryland, Proving Ground.

Made of red oak lumber, edge-glued with waterproof marine adhesive, the hardrvood floor is treated preservatively and for dimensional stabilization. It was developed as a solution to the military's problems presented by steel floors becoming dented into a "washboard" surface that makes cargo loading and handling difficult.

Address Box C-2177, California Lumber Merchant l0B West 6th Street, Room 508, Los Angeles 14, Calif.

The hardwood flbor is designed for installation over the steel floors in the Army's present trucks. It not only restores a level surface to the truck body's fioor, but provides a more comfortable floor for personnel using it in any climatic extremes.

Successful performance of the wood floor throughout the Aberdeen tests is expected to result in its widespread installation in military and commercial vehicles.

This is the lumber industry's second research product offered to the military, within the past year, in the interest of national preparedness and conservation of resources.

First was the all-wood Army tru'ck body presented last March. Three prototypes of this innovation in vehicle construction are nearing completion of their long--duration road tests, at Aberdeen, with commendable performance records.
