Plywood Manufactu rers Produce Projected Postwar Promotion

Peacetime Markets Again to be Developed Through Lumber Dealers, Jobbers

Manufacturers of Douglas fir plywood, whose twentynine factories long have been at top production for war needs, concerned themselves primarily with future peacetime markets when they held their annual industry convention at Tacoma, Wash.

"The plywood operators must prepare now to get back in the consumet market coincident with the cessation of

to gear their planning to future markets. ,,Your entire output today is for government needs; the industry will have to make the most abrupt ,change in its history with the termination of war," he warned. He recommended estabIishment of committees to study tomorrow's production and sales needs so the plywood men can "solve our own problems" but suggested that the association president make the appointments at a subsequent date.

Officers Named

At the meeting N. O. Cruver, vice-president of Wheeler Osgood Sales Corp., was named president of the trade association for a .second term. Other ofificers re-elected include: Frost Snyder, president of Vancouver Plywood & Veneer Co., as association vice-president; J. P. Simpson, vice-president of Buffelen Lbr. & Mfg. Co., association treasurer; H. E. Tenzler, president of Northwest Door Co., association.secretary. All the men are from Tacoma, 'Wash. Trustees of the all-industry board are: T. B. Malarkey, vice-president of M & M Wood Working Co., of portland, Ore.; Clay Brown, manager of the plywood division of Smith Wood-Products, Inc., of Portland; J. R. Robinson, president of Robinson Manufacturing Co., of Everett, Wash., and E. W. Daniels, president of Harbor Plywood Corp., of Hoquiam, Wash. Mr. Daniels was association president for two years prior to Mr. Cruver's election a year ago and has headed the trade group's management committee for the past five Jrears.

military orders," W. E. Difford, managing director of DougIas Fir Plywood Association, told the manufacturers. He followed with a preview of the program already prepared by the trade association for expanded plywood promotion to become effective with victory.

That program, he explained, is directed toward getting plywood back on the shelves of lumber dealers and distributors with the greatest speed. (Although the sale of fir plywood has remained free from restrictions, demands of the armed forces and war industries have been so great that at present the panels are available only for purposes warranting high priority ratings. Output in l94Z totaled 1,800,000,000 square feet, an all-time record. But unlike other industries fir plywood makers had expanded their capacities prior to the war to meet civilian demands; the government merely has become the buyer rather than individuals.)

The manager of the plywood industry's research and promotional organization also urged the individual operators

"Prior to a year and a half ago the management committee concerned itself with development of markets for plywood and improved performance of the product," Mr. Daniels told the assembled plywood.producers. ,'Now its duties include furnishing complete data on the industry to the War Production Board."

War Theme

The annual meeting of the plywood producers, which in previous years was staged as a several-day sales clinic, this year was pared to an appraisal of plywood's war duties and future marketing and production problems. A recapitulation of accomplishments of the industry during l94Z was presented in a printed leaflet distributed early in the meeting. Mr. Difford, in reporting to the industry, merely expanded certain phases of the report.

He commented on the drastic changes in the promotion of plywood to fit the campaign into the war economy. He recalled that advertising for the past year served as a presentation of how the military forces and war goods manufacturers are utilizing the panels for maximum efficiency. A second promotional theme-designed to have long term

results-is that of explaining the research activities now greatly expanded not only to develop an improved product but to answer questions posed by the military looking to the panels to do more and more different jobs.

"One of the great benefits of getting our industry in the war tempo," Mr. Difford remarked, "is that we have learned more about our own business. Partially as a result of this, plywood will be a better material in the future and the manufacturers may process it further."

The report shows that the field representatives of the association have spent their energies, not in promoting the material, but in showing new plywood users-the military and war industries-how best to capitalize on the inherent properties of the material. And much valuable technical information has been supplied these users in literature recently made available, the most notable booklet being "Technical Data on Plywood," edited by N. S. Perkins, technical director for the plywood association.

History will recite the fact that on July first, 1943, the United States of America entered into an era new and different from all previous eras; the era of BOOKKEEPING. We have been sweeping steadily in that direction for years past as our Government gradually changed into a vast bureaucracy, with the central Government playing an ever grcater part in the lives of its citizens. But with the com-

ing of the new pay-as-you-go incomc tax on July first, all other personal activities of our citizens fade into thc background, and BOOKKEEPING stcps to the head of the class. From this day forth evcryone who makes a living income is going to devote a'major portion of his time to accounting, in order to keep his tax affairs straightcned out. He's going to do it and likc it; anyway, he's going to do it.

As you study this new law and its application and administration, you will quickly agree with my conclusion. Between July first and December 31, 1943, millions uPon millions of man hours are going to be devoted to nothing else but the narious accounting phascs of pay-as-you-go taxes. And this at a time of already serious shortage of manpower+nd womanpower. The additional accounting that will be done from now on by the professional bookkeepers of the nation's business by reason of this new form of income tax collection, will make you dizzy just to lightly contemplate. Where on earth is business and industry going to secure that much additional bookkeeping help? Wc will probably change our national slogan to read-"the land of the free and the home of the bookkeeper." ***

Alexander Pope said that "the proper study of mankind iB man." If you enioy that sort of student work, then (Continued on Page 10)

(Continued from Page 9.)

watch the psychological effects of the new.pay-as-you-go income tax on many millions of our people. Starting July first there are going to be more deep, dark, gutteral oaths uttered in this country to the square inch than ever before. Don't doubt it. Ordinary knowledge of human nature will tell you it is bound to be. It's just downright human nature for workers to want to count their money, to jingle and jangle it, even. though they know its possession is temporary. There's a certain pride of ownership in the pay you work for, and even though it's going right out again, they like to feel it in the pocket. Maybe they put it in the bank, and then check it out. The effect is the same. It was THEIR money and they had the fun of having it, and paying it out.

***.

But now comes a time when a huge portion of their earnings, their wages, are never going to touch their hands. They are never going to see it, hear it rattle, feel its heartening infuence on their morale. The fun of counting it, rolling it up and sticking it pridefully in their pockets, will be denied them. And regardless of their opinion of the necessity for the deduction, or the justice of the law, they aren't going to like it. Millions of people are going to look about for a cursing chamber or a wailing wall where they can properly express their feelings. There's ,the twenty per cent take-out, and the ten per cent deduction for war bonds, and the unemployment tax, and the social security tax, and maybe union dues, and maybe some insurance deductions, and when you add it together it's going to make that pay envelope-even though they are getting twice or three times as much pay as they ever got beforelook like its been hit by a tornado. And if the average guy doesn't scream like a panther, then I'll admit that man has indeed been born again and made fit to enter immediately into the Kingdom of lleaven. Yea, verily.

I read the word "r"o"rJ,r"Jorrl" ,r.n.r.rrtly in the newspaper columns and editorials. I'm not plumb iertain what

they are, but if they mean getting mad as Billyhell and gtving visible evidence of mighty displeasure, then millions of Americans who never paid income taxes before and had only the vaguest ideas of paytng any now or in the future, are going to do some violent "repercussing" the next few pay days that roll round. That pay-as-youFgo is the only practical way to ever get this money is a dead certainty. It will save billions of dollars to the Government. But that won't prevent the workers from being hornet-mad about it when it happens.

r don't see how it can ,i.ro-orlr*g an important part in next year's elections. The wily person who makes political medicine will undoubtedly whisper into the ear of the cross-as-a-bear fellow who has just paid-as-you-go his income tax, that if the gang in Washington had had their way he would be paying TWO years' taxes now instead of just one; and then the fat will be in the fire sure 'nuff. He'll probably go out and get him a Lignum Vitae club, loaded to scatter, and go hunting. Fur's I'm concerned personally, the new method of collecting the income tax is unimportant; "h'it don't make no difference." I've got to pay it, anyway. But there'll be those that don't feel that way about it; or that's my guess, and I'm willing to lay a nice price f'm right about it.

Discuss \(/ar Manpower Regulations

An industry meeting was held by the Southern California Retail Lumber Association at the Embassy Auditorium, Los Angeles, on Tuesday afternoon, June 15, to discuss the War Manpower Commission regulations and their efiect on the industry in and around the metropolitan Los Angeles area.

President H. Park Arnold presided. Secretary Orrie WHamilton gave an outline of the regulations and answered many questions. The majority of those present favored that an application ,be made to the War Manpower Commission to have the industry declared "locally essential'n in the Los Angeles and suburban areas provided it is based on the industry's present plan of work week

Reviged MPR No. 222'--Northern Son Wcaring Captain's Bars Worn bY Softwood Lumber His Dad in First \(/orld \Var

Washington, June 17.-A revision of Maximum Price Regulation No. 222 on Northern softwood lumber, completed after consultation with representatives of the industry, was announced today by the Office of Price Administration.

The revision not only simplifies the regulation's textual form to facilitate use, but also makes the following changes in its provisions:

1. Extends cevorage of the regulation to include certain Canadian northern softwood lumber sold in this country'

2. Establishes dollars-and-cents prices for 14 Northern Softwood items previously not specificially priced.

3. Increases prices of 1 x 4 hemlock boards in most grades.

4. Provides specific changes for many additional standard milling operations.

5. Provides additional estimated weights to be used in computing delivered prices for various grades and sizes of lumber.

6. Increases the prices of Byrkit lath.

Revised Maximum Price Regulation No' 222 (Northern Softwood Lumber) becomes effective lune 22, 1943.

Charles Q,. "Pat" Patrick, president of the Patrick Lumber Company, Portland, Ore., is a veteran of World War I and served as a Captain in the Air Forces in France.

In World War II, his son, John H. Patrick, became a Second Lieutenant, then a First Lieutenant, and was mentioned in dispatches in connection with the Battle of Attu in the Aleutians. Shortly after this engagement, he was made a Captain but there lvere no Captain's bars in all the Northern country so he wrote his dad who resurrected his old Captain "tracks" worn in the first World War and sent them to his son.

Now the second generation is carrying on under the same bars as worn by the first generation in the first World War.

Wall Paper Industry Under \fPB Restrictions

To conserve and direct the distribution of all wall paper stocks, the War Production Board has restricted the wall paper industry to those patterns produced in the 1942-43 season and fixed the base paper consumption at 60 per cent of the tonnage used during the preceding season (1941-42). No new patterns rolls containing new designs may now be manufactured.

This was accomplished by amending General Limitation Order L-177, effective July 1, 1943.

Amendinent to Method of Applying Property Standards to Existing Construction --' New Priority Procedurcs

W. G. Bingham, district director of Federal Housing Administration, Los Angeles, has sent the following letter to all approved lending institutions in the Southern California district:

1. Experience reveals that some properties involving existing construction, which constitute sound mortgage security and which would have been otherwise acceptable, have been rejected because of non-compliance with FHA Property Standards.

Effective immediately, the provisions set forth in Property Standards shall not be mandatory requirements with respect to a property, the construction of which has been completed prior to the receipt by FHA of the application for insurance relating thereto. We are now authorized to process and commit for insurance mortgages secured by such properties which are considered eligible, although they do not fully conform to the provisions of Property Standards.

The physical security must reflect structural soundness, present and continuing marketability, desirable living conditions, have access from streets, a proper water supply and sewage disposal system. It is not intended to abate in any degree these requirements.

2. a. Transfer of Priorities to a Successor Owner.

b. Change of Location on PD-105.

New procedures are now effective for cases wherein there is proposed a Transfer of the Ownership of a War Housing Project after the issuance of a Preference Rating Order (P55 or P-55b) but prior to the completion of 'the Project; also in cases where it is desired to Change the Location ,upon which a War Housing Project, or portion thereof, is to be built, after the issuance of a Preference Rating Order in the P-55 series.

Full information and necessary forms for either of the two mentioned procedures may be obtained at FHA offices, where the Applications must be filed.

CORRECTION

The Office of Price Administration, San Francisco, has requested that we make the first paragraph of its release, California Lumber Ruling, which appeared in the June 15 issue, read as follows:

Albe* Stacy Passes On

Lumber Inventory Asked bv \7PB

Albert Stacy, manager of the Bassett Lumber Company, Douglas, Arizona, passed away at the Douglas Hospital on June 10 following two major operations. He was 75 years of age.

Mr. Stacy helped to establish the Bassett Lumber Company when he went to Douglas in 1902, and for forty-one years he was an outstanding business and civic leader in that community. He served as a member of the board of school trustees for twenty-four years, and was a member of the first city council.

Born on a farm in Hennepin County, Minn., he attended the public schools in his home county and then entered the University of Minnesota from which he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1891. He later entered the lJniversity's law school and received the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1893. Ife was admitted to the bar of Minnesota, also North Dakota and Arizona.

He began the practice of law in North Dakota, where he remained until 1894, when he went to Arizona, first locating in Flagstaff, and a few months later moved to Phoenix. Mr. Stacy did not take up the practice of law in Arizona but followed the work of civil engineering before going to Douglas to become a lumberman for the remainder of his life. He married Alta Ann Smith of Kenton, Ohio, in 1918.

Mr. Stacy was affiliated with various organizations in Douglas. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, serving as president for one year and as a director for many years; Kiwanis Club; Douglas Lodge No. 19, F. and A. M.; Douglas Lodge No. 25, Knights of Pythias; and Elks Club.

Besides his widow, he is survived by two daughters, Betty Lou and Mary Ann; a sister, Mrs. Homer Derr, of Compton, Calif., and a brother, L. C. Stacy, of Oklahoma City, Okla.

Representative lumber distri,butors are being asked by the War Production Board to cooperate in making a detailed survey of lumber stocks. WPB,s lumber and. lumber products division announced at Washington. The survey, which has the support of the National Retail Lum_ ber Dealers Association, is being undertaken as a basis for stimulating production of certain classes of lumber with critically low stocks and for better utilization of less limited items.

Existing information on stocks covers only quantities, division officials stated, and a more detailed breakdown by the quantity and location of species, sizes and grades is essential in order to determine where emphasis must be placed in attempts to replenish stocks. \Mar uses, it was pointed out, demand special classes of lumber.

Distributors, representing an approximate l0 per cent sampling of the industry, are being asked to report on their stocks and it will be possible to compute the stock situation for the country on the basis of this information. The data will be compiled, evaluated and interpreted by the U. S. Forest Service in cooperation with WpB,s lumber and lumber products division. Over-all data will be reported to the industry through press channels and industry advisory committees.

Navy Oak Ship Stock

Washington, June 2l.-Producers of Select Navy Oak car stock lumber, free of heart, in thicknesses greater than four inches, may add $10 per thousand board feet to pres_ ent maximum prices of four inch thick stock for each inch of thickness beyond four inches, the Office of price Administration announced today.

.For each fraction of an inch beyond four inches, only the corresponding fractional part of $10 per thousand feet may be added.

The additions are authorized in Amendment No. 2 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 281, Navy Oak ship stock, and become effective June 28, 1943.

Specific maximum prices previously did not apply to this type of lumber when heavier than four inches in thickness.

Curtis Offers New Kitchen Planning Book

An attractive new kitchen planning book was recently published by Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork. The book is 8fixll inches in size and is well illustrated with attractive views of modern kitchens. The cover is in four colors and the inside pages are in two colors. The book is intended primarily as a "duration book" to aid dealers sell Curtis wood kitchen cabinets for home modernization and replacement.

The new Curtis book is called "You, Too, Can Plan Your Kit,chen the Curtis Way." It pictures kitchens of various basic types and explains the planning steps for acquiring a kitchen of modern beauty and utility.

"\Me realize," stated H. H. Hobart, sales manager of Curtis Companies Incorporated, "that there will be little building and modernization until the war is over. Yet, we desire to keep our dealers supplied with sales building literature and help them develop their postwar market for both home modernization and new construction and to get their share of what business is available today. We are urging our dealers to compile a postwar prospect list, and this book will ai'd materially to do that. We anticipate a big demand for kitchen cabinets and all of our stock woodwork products imrnediately after the war. It is up to all of us in the building industry to keep selling our products and our service to those we want for customers after 'V' dayJ'

Curtis will send their new kitchen planning book to those interested, upon request. Inquiries should be directed to Curtis Companies Service Bureau, Clinton, Iowa.

Ceilings on Contract Logging Services Announccd bv OPA

Ceilings on contract logging services-the top prices a contractor can charge for cutting logs, half logs or cornwood from standing trees for the owner of the - timber-have been transferred to maximum price regulation No. 165 (services), the Office of Price Administration announced. The action will result in no increase in lumber prices, OPA said.

Previously maximum prices for contract logging services were provided by the general maximum price regulation.

Under maximum price regulation No. 165, maximum prices for contract logging are to be based on the prices that contractor charged during the month ol March, 1942, the same base date as was used in determining ceiling prices under the general maximum price regulation.

However, a simplified method of adjusting prices to allow for increased cost items, such as higher labor costs, is contained in maximum price regulation No. 165, and it was because of this simplified adjustment procedure that OPA decided to transfer contract logging services to it.

The transfer is made through amendment No. 23 to maximum price regulation No. 165 (services), and becomes effective June 23, 1943.

Here is how a logging contractor determines his maximum logging service charge under maximum price regulation No. 165:

The contractor, preparing a contract to log a tract of timber for an owner of timber, makes an estimate of the complete logging "show or change"-the price he is willing to do the jo'b for.

Factors he must consider in making the estimate are the following component cost factors:

l. Careful estimate of the amount of timber to be logged, the equipment required, and the cost of opening up the tract for logging, such as moving equipment to the job, road construction, etc.

2. An estimate of felling, sawing or bucking costs-actually felling and trimming the trees and cutting them into log lengths.

3. Costs of skidding, swamping and loading, dragging or hauling the logs to the loading point, and loading them, together with the necessary road construction to permit this operaion.

4. Transportation costs from the loading point in the woods to a mill or other shipping point.

5. Any other labor items incidental to the production of logs.

6. A reasonable profit for performing the service.

All these component factors under maximum price regulation No. 165 are to be circulated on the basis of charges actually made or quoted during the month of. March,I94Z, as was the case under the general maximum price regulation.

Maximum price regulation No. 165, however, makes available to contract loggers a simple adjustment proceduie to be used if the cost of any component, such as labor costs, have increased, making profitable operations under March, 1942, contract rates impossible.

Under this adjustment procedure, a contractor and an owner of standing trees jointly may adjust the final contract logging figure to an agreed amount reflecting any increased component costs. The upward adjustment must represent only the actual increase in cost of labor and materials, and the owner of the trees must agree to absorb the increase, and not pass it on in higher prices charged for end products, such as lumber, which he may make out of the logs.

Within fifteen days prior to the use of the adjusted contract price, the contractor and timber owner jointly file with OPA a simple statement of facts relative to the adjustment on a form which may be obtained from OpA (form 687-116>.

NLMA "Draft Information" Manuil Redwood Logging Conference

Every lumberman will want a copy of "Draft Information", a lZ-page manual which has just been published to give operators in the industry up-to-the-minute information on Selective Service and manpower problems.

Prepared by the Law Information Service of NLMA, the new bulletin contains the latest lists of essential activities and occupations in all branches of the lumber and timber products industries. It explains Selective Service regulations governing occupational deferments and tells how to apply for deferments. It also tells what kind of information should be given a draft board in applying for a deferment, how to rnake appeals, and many other important things that a lumberman needs to know and understand about the draft.

Through pointing out what Selective Service headquarters has ruled as to the essentiality of the lumber industry and the eligibility of its workers for deferment, the bulletin also serves as a practical means of helping to acquaint draft board members with the status of the industry. Reports indicate that lumbermen often have difficulty in making local boards appreciate the critical need for lumber as a war material, and that some boards are unaware of the instructions from Headquarters regarding deferments for lumber and logging workers. fn such cases employers not only will want this bulletin for their own information, but may find it helpful to send copies to the members of the draft boards with which they are dealing. Copies can be obtained from any of the industry associations or war committees.

CONSTRUCTION

The types of construction for which applications are processed in regional offices are enlarged by the WPB in an amendment delegating authority to regional directors to permit constru,ction under Order L-41 and to issue preference rating orders provided the estimated cost is less than $10,000. Among the types of construction now processed in the field are those which increase by less than 20 per cent the capacity of productive facilities and ofi-farm storage facilities for agricultural products, including drainage and irrigation facilities serving more than one farm creamery, warehouse and grain elevator (Field Administration Order 78-20, as amended), issued June 9.

San Francisco, California, June 8, 1943.-The seventh annual Redwood logging conference, recently held at Eureka, Calif., was notable for interest shown by the loggers, as evidenced by their spirited participation in the roundtable discussions particularly on the subject of planning. Among the other topics reviewed were: Log storage, peeling developments, double drums, and fire protection.

In the interest of forest conservation, development of logging practices which result in more productive cut-over lands, and improved utilization, these conferences have for their objective a gradual raising of the general level of competency of logging departments and the education of younger loggers. They are sponsored by the California Redwood Association.

Ori the subject of planning, Logging Superintendent Gordon Manary of The Pacific Lumber Company, stated that he is a firm believer in planning the immediate operation five years ahead, and having the road construction two years ahead. The need for accurate cruising, necessity of maps, anticipation of seasonal difficulties, and the place of contract logging, were among the elements of planning discussed. Opinion generally favored Diesel power. From comments, it was evident that planning assumes greater importance as readily accessible timber is depleted and that consideration must be given to methods designed to lengthen the life of existing old-growth stands.

A field trip was made to logging camps of Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, Salmon Creek Redwood Company, and the C. F. Jackman trucking operations, to observe logging, loading, dry storage of logs, centralized peeling, and truck and tractor repairing.

Lumber For Farmers

War Board Memorandum No. 364 from the War Food Administration to State Agricultural War Board Chairmen under the subject, "Procedure for Distributing Special Ratings Granted for Supplemental Farm Lumber," was issued on June 8, 1943. The memorandum is signed by Chester C. Davis, Administrator of the War Food Administration. It announces the program which might be termed "Lumber for Farmers."

- This program recognizes farm lumber as second in importance only to direct Army and Navy needs and for the third quarter of this year allocates 500,0@,000 board feet to retail lumber dealers on an emergency rating.

The important features of the War Board Memorandum directed to the State War Board Chairmen are as follows:

l. The purpose and procedure for distributing special ratings granted for 500,000,000 board feet of "supplemental" larm lumber.

2. The tabulation of State quotas assigned by the War Food Administration.

3. A description of the several applications and certificates to be issued bv Countv War Boards to farmers and lumber dealers.

4. Instructions to State War Board Chairmen to invite the full cooperation of local lumber dealers and the description of the conditions involved in placing this "emergency" lumber in yards in order that it may be rqadily available for qualified farmers.

5. Reproduction of the applications and certificates which will be used to facilitate this program.

An outline of the salient features of the various paragraphs in the memorandum follows:

Paragraph l-War Food Administration authorized to assign during June, July, August and September, preference ratings of. AA-2 for the delivery of 500,000,000 board feet of "supplemental" softwood lumber for specific farm needs.

Paragraph Z-Discusses the distribution of the "supplemental" AA-2lumber and points out that WPB will require War Food Administration to report monthly on the distribution of this lumber.

Paragraph 3-Points out specifically that this lumber cannot be used for dwellings but for the following types of on-farm construction:

l Maintenan,ce and repair of agricultural buildings or equipment.

2. New construction essential to the Food Production Program.

3. Reconstruction of essential agricultural buildings destroyed by fire.

Paragraph 4-In cases of major tornado or flood losses, special emergency ratings are available through the Red Cross and the inference is that AA-2 ,ratings shall not be used to secure lumber for this particular purpose.

Where substitute materials are available, it is expected that dealers will use them.

The limitations of Conservation Order L-41 still apply and County War Boards will not issue emergency AA-2 ratings for jobs subject to L-4L restrictions unless approved by the WPB Construction Branch.

Paragraph S-State quotas are listed.

Quotas allocated to the Pacific Coast states are: California, 15,800,000 board feet; Arizona, 1,200,000 board feet; Nevada, 400,000 board feet; Oregon, 6,700,000 board feet, and Washington, 8,8@,000 board feet.

Paragraph 5(a)-Requests State War Boards to report unused portions of their quotas.

Paragraph 5(b)-Provides that State War Boards may distribute the entire amount of lumber as county quotas in critical areas or may retain a State reserve.

The State reserve may be used to adjust county quotas where additional requirements become apparent or may be used to provide small emergency inventories for lumber dealers in communities where present inventories are exhausted.

Paragraph 6--Instructions to State War Boards in respect to the proper distribution by county.

Paragraph 7-Description of Form SL-200, the farmer's application for an AA-2 preference rating to be applied to an itemized list of lumber.

Description of Form GA-201, the Preference Rating Certificate, given to the farmer and, in turn, turned over by the farmer to his lumber dealer.

Paragraph 7(a)-Note particularly that the certificates, Form GA-201, must be surrendered by farmers to dealers within 1O days after date of issuance to the farmer.

Paragraph 8-Small Sales. It is urged that for small purchases lumber dealers take care of the sales so far as possible from lumber supplies on hand and secured under the preference ratings available in Conservation Order M-208. Where emergency purchases of $10 or less cannot be taken care of by present dealer inventories, a procedure is suggested which enables the County War Board to authorize the dealer by telephone to accept the order without a certificate and later secure authorization direct from the County War Board.

Paragraph 9-County War Boards are requested to meet with the lumber dealers within the county in order to discuss the best methods of facilitating this program.

The suggestion is made that dealers be encouraged to pool their respective certificates and it is pointed out that dealers should understand that they should continue their efforts to secure AA-3 and AA-4 ratings for farm lumber through the procedures provided by Conservation Order M-208.

Paragraph 9(a)-Note the suggestion as to the desirability of dealers filling the "GA-201" certificate orders from-present inventories and subsequently extending the AA-2 ruting acquired on these certificates for inventory replacement.

Paragraph lG-Direct Dealer Certification. In cases where dealer inventories are so badly depleted that dealers cannot honor GA-ml certificates for this emergency lumber, provision is made whereby the County War Board may request the State War Board to issue an emergency GA-nz certificate (see attachments) for a limited amount of lumber to provide a small working inventory.

Paragraph 10(a)-Discusses further the Direct Dealer Certification designed to take care of emergency and depleted inventory conditions.

Paragraph 11-A description of the records that must bc kept by County and State War Boards for the purpose of reporting monthly the amount of lumber released to tbe War Food Administration and the War Production Board in Washington.

Report on Lumber Stocks

Gross lumber stocks at mills at the close of the first quarter of 1943 totaled 4,011,457,000 board feet as compared with 4,950,915,000.board feet on hand December 31, 1942, a decrease of 19 per cent, the WPB lumber products division announced.

Data compiled by the U. S. Forest Service and WPB indicate that consumption of lumber is exceeding production for most of the critical species. Thou.gh March production as a whole was 14.2 per cent higher than that of February, demands are steadily decreasing stocks at the mills to a critical degree.

In the east, lumber stocks as of March 31, 1943, show a 14.8 per cent decrease from stocks on hand December 31, 1942. In the west, the decrease for the same period is 24.8 per cent.

'Western stocks, broken down by regions, reveal the following decreases : North Pacific, 2L per cent; South Pacific, 34.3 per cent; Northern Rocky Mountain, 17.2 per cent; Southern Rocky Mountain, 23.1 per cent.

Walnut, with a 40 per cent increase and Sitka spruce with a 6 per cent increase are the only important species with increases in stocks, while the supply of hard maple stocks remains level. All other important species show decreases. Stocks on.hand at the end of March and percentage decreases from December 31 are as follows: hemlq,k, 8O,274,00O board feet, down 13 per cent; Northern pine,257,233,000 board feet, D per cent ; Southern pine, 763,951,000 board f.eet, 2 per cent i ash, L4,7I5,000 board feet, 25 per cent; basewood, 22,712,000 board feet, 19 per cent; beech, 31,930,000 board f.eet, % per cent; birch, 7L,n6,W board feet, 30 per cent; soft maple, 18,761,000 board feet, 22 per cent; white oak, lX),557,000 board f eet, N per cent; red oak, 246,978,W,board f.eet, 27 per cent; yellow poplar, 69,393,000 board feet, 16 per cent; Douglas fir,426,776,W board feet, 19 per cent; Western white pine, 108,020,000 board f.eet, 24 per cent; and redwood, 129,000,00O board feet, 22 per cent; ponderosa pine, 539,618,00O board feet, 29 per cent.

NEW GENERAL OFFICES AND PLANT

The new general offices and plant of Whiting-Mead Co., Los Angeles, now under construction, is scheduled for completion about July 20.

E. J. Stanton & Son Kiln Dry . Million Feet of Lumber a Month

Here is a picture of the modernized battery of dry kilns operated by E.J. Stanton & Son, Los Angeles. The Stanton plant, one of the biggest wholesale hardwood yards in the entire country, has virtually become a war service plant, devoting most of its facilities to providing lumber and wood products for the war effort, and in a variety of ways.

They are very fortunate in the fact that not long before we got into the war they remodeled and modernized their battery of dry kilns, converting them into Moore Automatically Controlled Cross.Circulation Kilns. This change hugely increased their lumber drying facilities in volume, and gave them a decidedly improved product, all of which is very beneficial during such times of stress as we are going through.

E. J. Stanton & Son carry in stock all the available hardwoods, domestic and foreign, as well as Sugar Pine and other softwoods. They have been in business in Los Angeles for nearly fifty years. LeRoy H..Stanton is president and manager.

NHA M.y Amend WPB Approvals of Delense Housing Authorized War Housing Materials

The War Production Board delegated to the National Housing Agency authority to amend within limitations WPB approvals of material and products to be used in War Housing projects. The action is contained in WPB directive No.24.

Concurrence of WPB in amending approvals is not necessary if the materials and products appear on:

1. The current list of permitted substitutions and additional inventory items issued by WPB, of,

2. The war housing critical list under the same item number as an approved item on the list of materials, are to be used in place of materials of products so approved and do not exceed them in quantity, and have not been specifically prohibited for the project by the War Production Board.

The directive also formalizes the existing authority of the National Housing Agency, as a claimant agent, to make allotments of controlled materials and to issue preference ratings for material and products appro.red by WPB for use in each project.

Engene Weston, Jr., Los Angeles regional director of the National Housing Administration, announced that priorities for 2,000 housing units for war workers, principally in the San Fernando Valley, had been authorized at an estimated cost of $12,000,000.

Mr. Weston baid 1,000 privately constructed housing units would be built within two miles of Lockheed and Vega aircraft plants and would have rent ceilings of $42.50 for two bedroom units, $5O for three bedroom units unfurnished and without utilities included.

Another 5@ units to be publicly financed will be erected adjacent to San Fernando Valley, while the remaining units would be conversions from.old properties.

"I'd like to take you for a drive," I said to one who came to call; "But since they've rationed gasoline, We scarcely use the car at all." "f understand," my friend replied, "For everybody knows That when the wheels go round and round, A bit of rubber likewise goes."

"Ifd like to have a ride," he said, "For it woul'd be a thrill To gallop as we used to do Across the wooded hill. Where is that steed I used to ride ? I never could forget him." I felt my face grow hot with shame, As I confessed. "we et him."

"Let's take a walk," he gently said, And looked at me in doubt. "You go," I said in sad response, "Walking with me, is out. I bought a pair of dancing pumps Instead of walking shoes, So when I'm asked to take a walk, I stubbornly refuse."

Now, after luncheon, as we sat Upon the porch, just talking, "ft's hard," said he, "to give up things Like driving, riding, walking; But while our boys are at the front This old world's evils righting, If we at home can do withoutWell, that's our way of fighting."

Then when my guest had gone his way And evening hours were flitting, I cried aloud, "Well, praises beThey haven't rationed sitting!"

Washington, June l8.-Sellers of Northeastern hardwood lumber, shipped in a "green" condition, must deduct 10 per cent from dollars-and-cents maximum prices established by the Office of Price Administration for rough, air-dried material of the same specifications, OPA announced t<iday.

The deduction must be applied to prices of all types o{ "green" Northeastern hardwoods in which rough, airdried material is specified, except (1) white or red oak structural or sound square edge stock and (2) white or red oak freight car stock, common dimension, mine car lumber.

The deduction has been ordered, OPA said to ofiset decrease to the mills in the case of sales of dry lumber, in shrinkage and air-dried degrade.

"Hardwood lumber shall be considered 'green' unless it has been stacked on the yard for air-drying," OPA said.

"A purchaser may waive any requirement as to the moisture content if the lumber has been stacked on the yard," OPIA added. "Ilowever, if the lumber has not been stacked on the yard for air-drying, the material, so far as prices are concerned, is 'green,' and the 10 per cent deduction from the maximum price for rough, air-dried material of the same specifications is mandatory."

The deduction to be applied to shipments of "green" lumber is established in Amendment No. 1 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 368 (Northeastbrn Hardwood Lumber), and becomes effective June 24,1943.

Logging and Sawmill Operators

Logging and sawmill operators, dealers and equipment suppliers are urged by WPB to familiarize themselves with provisions of CMP Regulation 5, since lack of knowledge on how to obtain maintenance, repair and operating supplies is one of the factors curtailing lumber production, especially in case of small operators.

Revised CMP Class B Production List

A revised official CMP Class B product list, including a Class A civilian type end product list, is issued by the WPB superseding the earlier Class B product list published December 2I, 1942. The new list is substantially the same as the December 21 list but incorporates such changes as the deletion or air borne special B products, elimination of the previously carried partial list of maintenance and repair items and establishment of a new category of Class A civilian type end products.

Cement

The use of an alternative for pricing cement sold by manufacturers to war procurement agencies is extended by OPA from June 30 to December 31, 1943 (MPR 224' Amendment 3), effective June 21.

Preference Ratings

Preference ratings to orders or specified items, which were not filed by lune 4, 1943, must be cancelled if they are not in conformity with restrictions imposed on that date, WPB says. The group of items are specified in list A, B and C of priorities regulation 3 as amended June 4 (Interpreta tion 2 of Priorities Regulation 3) , issued lune 12.

CMP Regulation 5A

CMP Regulation 5,{, which sets up procedures by which governmental agencies and institutions may obtain mainte-

nance, repair and operating supplies, is amended to bring it into conformity with the changes effected on May 14 in CMP Regulation 5 which governs maintenance, repair and operating supplies for business and industry in general. (CMP Regulation 5A, as amended June 4), issued June 4.

Interpretation 3 to CMP Regulation 3

Manufacturers of Class A or Class B products must continue to identify all rated orders for production materials with the allotment number assigned to the deleted production schedule under CMP procedure, the WPB asserts. This is true despite the fact that allotment numbers on rated orders placed after June 30, 1943, will have no uprating effect (Interpretation 3 to CMP Regulation 3), issued June 12.

Logging Services

Ceilings on contract logging services-the top prices a contractor can charge for cutting logs, half logs or cordwood from standing'trees for the owner of the timber.--are transferred to Maximum Price Regulation 16. The action will result in no increase in lumber prices, the OPA explains. Previously maximum prices for contract logging services were provided by GMPR (Amendment 23 to Maximum Pqice Regulation 165, as amended), efrective Jane 23.

Priority Rating

fn order to avoid creation of a new "super" priority rating to care for the most urgent programs, the rating of AA-2 was recently restored by an amendment of priority regulation 1, WPB Requirements Committee Chairman Krug states. This change provides a bracket between the AA-1 and AA-2X bands and provides for increased fexibility in the whole structure. The AA-1 bracket now is reserved for the most pressing military production and for certain other essential needs.

How Existing Dry Kiln Facilities Can Be More Fully Utilized

Washington, June 9.-Of 8,60O lumber dry kilns in the United States, more than 7ffi are idle and many others are operating below full capacity, J. Philip Boyd, director of WPB's Lumber and Lumber Products Division, revealed today in a statement outlining how existing dry kiln facilities can be more fully utilized.

"A recently completed nation-wide survey of lumber dry kilns made by the U. S. Forest Service for the Lumber and Lumber Products Division indicates that dry-kiln facilities, if used to ful'l capacity, could handle an additional frO million board feet of lumber per month," Mr. Boyd said. "Lumber advisers attached to the WPB regional offices have been given detailed information gathered by the survey for each state within their regions, in order to direct those in need of dry-kiln facilities to idle kilns or to those with surplus capacity."

Information contained in the survey includes location of kilns, type of construction (compartment or progressive), type of circulation (natural or forced), holding capacity and condition of equipment.

"To conserve steel and other critical materials used in modern dry-kiln construction," Mr. Boyd stated, "we are urging everyone requiring kiln-drying facilities of the kind provided by lumber-type kilns to get in touch with their nearest WPB regional office before making application for authorization to install new equipment. I am confident that in many cases idle kilns or those with surplus capacity can be found near at hand suitable for drying lumber, dimension, cooperage stock, or other wood products.

"Owners of idle kilns are often willing to sell or lease their equipment and dismantle it' for transfer to the operator's site. In this way idle installations can be restored to active service in cases where the location of the kilns makes transportation of material impractical or where it is desirable for the kiln to be an integral part of the operator's plant. In many of the reports on idle kilns received in the survey owners equipment for sale.

Amendment No 3 to MPR No. 195 Industrial Wooden Boxes

Washington, June 15.Manufacturers of industrial wooden boxes who produce their own lumber have been given a new method of computing the value of such lumber when necessary in pricing boxes, the Office of Price Administration announced today.

Under the new method, the value of self-produced lumber used by the box maker shall be the applicable ceiling price less $2 per 1,00O board feet.

"The deduction of $2 per 1,000 board feet is calculated to be the marketing costs the producer saves when he uses the lumber himself, instead of selling it," OPA said.

Previously, the manufacturer was required to use actual cost of the self-produced lumber, calculated in accordance with his March, 1942, computing method.

The new valuation method is provided in Amendment No. 3 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 195 (Industrial Wooden Boxes), and ,becomes effective June 19, 1943.

In another change in the Regulation, the Amendment clarifies language to state clearly that the inventory value of purchased lumber at the time of removal, not the replacement cost, should be used in calculating box manufacturing costs for pricing purposes.

FOREST FLAMES

The director of the division of forestry is advocating the formation of a women's forest fire fighting organization to be known as the Forest Ladies Auxiliary to the Men's Emergency Services. What that means is that added to the WAACs, the WAVEs, the SPARs, and the WOWs, we may soon have the FLAMES.-New Orleans TimesPicavune.

specifically offered their facilities and owners of

idle kilns or of those running below capacity are urged to make full use of the coordinating services which WPB regional lumber advisers and field representatives are now equipped to give," Mr. Boyd concluded.

Western Pine Announces Appointments To Forestry Staff

Portland, Oregon, June 11.Two appointments announced today by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association, are said to complete the staff expansion planned in the 1943 program of the Association's forest conservation department.

George H. Schroeder, added to the staff on June 1, came from Corvallis, Oregon, where he was associate professor of Forestry at Oregon State College. He also received his technical training in forestry and logging engineering there. As district forest engineer for central Washington, eastern Oregon and southern Idaho, he will make his headquarters in Yakima.

On July 1 Curtis E. Price will assume duties as district forest engineer for southern Oregon and northern California, with headquarters at Klamath Falls. Mr. Price, too, is a graduate of the forest school at Oregon State College. Following an extended period with the U. S. Forest Service in ldaho, Utah and Wyoming, he has been managing a timber property in whi,ch he was interested in the vicinity of Eugene, Ore.

The Association's forest conservation department under the direction of Stuart Moir, forester, has two other district forest engineers-Stanley lfodgman, of Missoula, Montana, whose district includes Montana, northern fdaho and eastern Washington; and C. Y. Zaayer, of Sacramenfo, California, whose assignment covers central California, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Through this forestry staff the Western Pine Association is assisting its members in many ways under a program approved by a forest conservation committee, on which each district of the Western Pine region is represented. fn turn, district forest practice committees formulate plans dealing with conditions prevailing in each section of the twelve western states where Idaho White pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine forests grow.

The district forest engineers, as a service to members, are assisting them in seeking ways to avoid lowering the forest practice standards adopted by the Association, to avoid needless destruction of young growth and standing timber, and to leave the lands in such condition as to produce another forest crop, without imposing handicaps to

the maximum ,log production needed to meet the great demand for lumber for war purposes.

The extension of the West'ern Pine Tree Farm program' is another important activity undertaken by the forestry staff. Certified Tree Farms in the Western Pine region now embrace more than 950,000 acres of forest lands.

A major 1943 project for the forest engineers is to help develop a forest operating plan for each member company. As worked out cooperatively with the management, each plan (covering an initial period of five years) includes such subjects as (a) protection, (b) logging operations, (") forest practices, (d) taxation, (e) utimate handling of harvested lands.

This expanded program of forest conservation on private lands bespeaks of the deep interest held by timberland owners and lumber manufacturers of the Western Pine region in the future of this industry.

Amendment 6 to MPR No. 186---Western Wooden Agricultural Containers

Washington, June l8-Through issuance of a correction of a typographical error in a price regulation, producers of agricultural shook in the State of Washington west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains have been authorized to use Portland, Oregon, maximum delivered prices, the Office of Price Administration announced today.

The new correct delivered maximums for agricultural shook are base prices, f.o.b. mill, plus a freight differential of $4.50 per 1,000 board feet, compared with base prices plus a differential of $3.75 in effect by error since April 5 last, or an increase of 75 cents per 1,000 board feet.

Shook is lumber prepared for assembly into wooden containers.

The higher maximum prices are authorized in Amendment 6 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 186 (Western W'ooden Agricultural Containers), and become effective lune 23, L943.

The Amendment, in other changes in the Regulation (l) incorporates Wheeler County in the State of Oregon into the Northwest container pricing area, and (2) substitutes for the present adjustable pricing provisions the OPA standard adjustable pricing provision.

New Roofing Booklet

A new kind of roofing booklet, designed to present asphalt shingles in the same kind of glamorous settings that Ziegfeld used to glorify the American girl, is to be pu,blished by The Celotex Corporation, Chicago.

To stress the wide variety of colors, textures and styles of shingles in its line. Celotex has even employed an illustration containing three stage beautiesa blonde, a brunette and a redhead.

The sales reasoning behind the glamour approach, as explained by Henry W. Collins, Celotex vice-president in charge of merchandising is this:

"'We have known for a long time that purchases of roofing are strongly influenced by the color, texture and style of shingles-emotional qualities that enter- into the selection of a roof just as they do in the purchase of an automobile. Therefore, our aim is to develop a booklet that will include as much color and drama as possible in its appeal-that will make the selection of a new roof a matter of style as well as utility.

"To help buyers visualize how various shingles will add to the beauty of their homes, we have gone beyond the old technique of merely reproducing shingle colors, and shown roofs under the varied light conditions of morning, afternoon and evening in spring, summer, fall and winter."

The unusual illustrative technique and copy approach for the Celotex catalogue were developed by Howard W Rapport, Celotex art director.

"fn working out this booklet," he said, "we have applied a little of the movie and stage technique of exciting design and exhilarating color to commercial advertising. We have tried to use backgrounds, just as the stage does, to establish a mood that will arrest attention and stimulate interest. This approach should also help to fix a favorable ,impression of the product and its qualities in the prospective buyerls mind, memorable enough to influence his decision at the point-of-sale."

lfPB Construction Report for Aprif, 1943

Total 'construction volume in the United States during April amounted to $746 million, the War Production Board announced. This is a two per cent drop from March and over a quarter less than the same month a year ago, and only about half the peak volume reached last August. May figures when prepared are expected to show a five per cent decrease.

During April direct military construction continued to drop, especially in the category of military housing, although there was a slight increase over the month in airfields construction. The Navy, which has been showing slight monthly decreases, dropped more sharply in April than did Army military construction. Military gonstruction, as a whole, is expected to continue its downward trend, and to drop more steeply in the third and fourth quarter of the year.

There was little change in civilian war housing. Privately-financed housing was up slightly while government-financed housing dropped. Over the year the volume of government-financed housing is expected to exceed privately-financed housing. These figures reflect the value of work put in place rather than value of projects started or completed.

Expansion of government-financed industrial facilities (including deliveries of machinery and equipment) continued to decline. This decline is expected to continue.

The sharpest drop came in ordnance plant construction. Aircraft plant construction fell oft while raw material plant construction showed a one per cent drop. Gains in construction occurred in the important synthetic rubber, nonferrous metals and lO0-octaine gasoline categories.

Machinery and equipment deliveries to synthetic rubber plants fell off in April after a series of sharp monthly increases. As expected, machinery and equipment deliveries to ordnance plants dropped sharply, with milder decreases in deliveries to shipyards, iron and steel, and nonferrous metal plants. Deliveries of machinery and equipment to aircraft plants and lO0-octane gasoline plants increased over the month.

It is expected that trends discernible in April will have continued in Mav.
