Tells Story of Insulation in Home Building Forest Service Prepares for Fire Blitzkrieg

San Francisco, June Z1-Preparations in defense of California's forest and watersheds are in readiness for the first major engagements with summer forest fires Regional Forester S. B. Show of the U. S. Forest Service reported today from his headquarters here.

Skirmishes with the red enemy in each national forest already have signaled the coming of the annual big drive alohg scores of mountain salients. In forest quarters, it was pointed out that fires are continually cropping up at unsuspected sources and at unexpected times. This note carries the warning that care with campfires and burning tobacco will necessarily be the official order of the day throughout the summer until fall rains bog down the enemy advances.

This original firel economy advertising display in the street window of the northwest sales office of the Insulite Company, 607 Second Ave. S., Minneapolis, is stopping hundreds of passersby daily, and telling the story of insulation in home-building in a most effective way.

At the left stands Professor Fuel Economy explaining to G. F. Hoppe, Insulite's advertising manager, and creator of the learned papier-mache pedagogue, why it pays to use Insulite's wall of protection in the construction of a new home.

It is the Professor's contention, based on sound figuring, that a return of 36 cents a year can be made on every dollar invested in the installation of the wall of protection in a new $5,000 home, on the basis of a 2Gweek computation.

Fuel savings in 20 years' time, says the Professor, will total $465. This is more than six times the original cost of the insulation, and convincingly proves the value of the wall of protection. ft explains, in part, why hundreds of dealers are establishing new Insulite sales records in all parts of the United States and Canada.

F. G. HANSON ON EASTERN TRIP

Francis G. Hanson, head of West Coast Screen Co., Los Angeles, is on one of his periodical Eastern trips in connection with sales promotion work on the Hollywood Door. He left July 6 and traveled to Portland and Seattle before heading East. He will visit St. Paul, Chicago and New York, and will buy new machinery including the latest type of door sticker for the West Coast plant. Some of his own ideas are being incorporated into this new machine.

Mr. Hanson, who is accompanied by Mrs. Hanson, will be gone five or six weeks.

VETERANS BUILD 18,753 HOMES

Sacramento, June 30.-Since the inception of the program, 18,753 homes and farms costing $83,006,637 have been purchased through the State Division of Veterans' 'Welfare, which advances money to veterans for homes and farms.

According to a survey completed by Anthony E. Boicella, newly appointed chairman of the Veterans' Welfare Board, the average cost of each veteran's home has been $466y'. while farms averaged $5575.

Fifth columnists who intentionally or carelessly start forest, brush or valley fires will be sought out in the interest of national forest defense, Regional Forester Show stated. Careless smokers are recognized as the most dangerous agents on highways, roads and mountain trails.

Forest Service defense forces place a considerable share of their faith in aerial attack this summer. Four airplanes under contract will carry out reconnaissance patrols, confirm reports of new fires, make observation flights, drop supplies by parachute to fire fighters and transport key personnel to major conflagrations.

Motorized equipment will be another important factor in each counter attack against fire advances. One hundred heavy tanker trucks, maneuverable in the roughest terrain, are stationed throughout hazardous sectors of all national forests and ready to roll at a moment's notice.

Trailbuilder tractors, motor lories, flame throwers, water pumps, radios, hand-tools, mess equipment, sleeping bags, emergency rations and many other items of fire fighting paraphenalia are on hand to meet any big push unleashed by forest fire.

In similarity to the military phase of national defense, Forest Service ground forces still continue as the key element for taking and holding front line positions. Forest rangers and guards, CCC enrollees and local experienced fire fighters compribe the fire line man power that fights and controls more than 5000 forest fires each year in California alone.

Of this number of fires, 75 per cent start at the hands of human carelessness.

Booklet Illustrating Boat Plans Available

As a service to the rapidly growing number of amateur boat builders, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma Building, Tacoma, Wash., has had several plans drawn by recognized naval architects, each designed for the efiective use of exterior type plywood. The booklet illustrates five different boat plans and is available through the Association, free of charge, upon individual request.

A sample plan as an example shows how all of them have been made up. The Association had a boat constructed from each plan to make sure that the design was sound.

Bradley's Stralght-Line Ripping Machines Forcst Fire Fighters Exempt From Guarante e Perlectly Straight Flooring \(/age-Hour Law

R. W. Fullerton, president and general manager of the Bradley Lumber Company of Arkansas, thinks the greatest single step forward his concern has ever taken is straight-line ripping. After two years of continual experimentation, they announced that all their flooring lumber would be straight-line ripped before going to the flooring machines, thus guaranteeing the flooring trade perfectly

Employees of lumber and other companies, called on to engage in fire fighting activities, are exempt from the wage and hour provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act while fighting forest fires, Colonel Philip B. Fleming, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U. S. Departe ment of Labor, announced today.

The Wage and Hour Division, in cooperation with the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, recently drew up a procedure to be observed by private employers who seek this exemption for their employees while fighting forest fires. Authority for the action is contained in Section 3(d) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which provides that the term "employer shall not include the United States or any state or political subdivision of a State." Fire fighters are working under state, federal, or other public direction while fighting forest fires and during that time, therefore, are employed by them, and are exelnpt,

In announcing the action, Colonel Fleming said: "Since persons called upon by government or other public officials, pursuant to statutory authority, to engage in fire fighting activities, become in legal effect employees of the State or Federal Government, the employer whose employees have been so engaged is not required to consider time spent in fire fighting activities as hours worked for the company during the workweek."

This strcight-line rip is the arcchine which hcs improved Brcrdlefs method oI mqnulccturing hcrdwood llooring. straight flooring. This was no simple matter, the problem being to secure the desired results without incurring too great a penalty in the line of waste. They solved the problem in ways best known to themselves, and today only straight hardwood lumber goes through the flooring plant.

At the point where the rough lumber enters the flooring plant they have in operation a line of three straight-line ripping machines, and all the lumber goes through these machines as it enters. This means that Bradley takes out all the crooks before they make the stock into flooring.

Bradley Lumber Company of Arkansas operates one of the largest hardwood manufacturing and re-manufacturing plants in the world at Warren, Arkansas.

ATTENDS "BOY STATE'' AT SACRAMENTO

Dick Lawrence attended the recent "Boy State" at Sacramento which is sponsored by the American Legion where the boys are taught the principles and workings of the State government. Each year the various American Legion Posts throughout the state designate a boy to attend "Boy State" and this year over 80O boys were in attendance. Dick represented Lumbermen's Post No. 4O3. He is a son of T. B. Lawrence, Lawrence-Philips Lumber Co., of Los Angeles.

Every employer claiming exemption of his employees as fire fighters during the period the employees were so engaged will submit a form supplied by the Wage and Hour Division entitled "Application for Certification of Employees as Fire Fighters," filled out in triplicate, to the appropriate local Forest officer. Such Forest officer rvill either approve or deny the application and will send one copy of the form to the Regional Office of the Wage and Hour Division and return one copy to the employer.

Determination of whether there was in fact a forest hre and whether the fire occurred in a Protected Area is the responsibility of the local Forest officer. The Wage and Hour Division will accept determinations made by such Forest officer. The U. S. Forest Service and its cooperating agencies will notify employers cooperating in the prevention and control of forest fires about this procedure and will supply them with necessary forms, obtained from the Wage and Hour Division, U. S. Department of Labor'

Fitting Up Boat For Sport Fishing

Captain Sigurd Benson, formerly master of various boats for Hart-Wood Lumber Co., Lawrence-Philips Lumber Co.. and E. L. Reitz Co., has purchased a 60-foot boat to use for sport fishing in Southern California and Mexico waters. The boat, S. S. Marian, is now docked at the upper end of Pier 9O, San Pedro.

Captain Benson is widely known in Pacific Coast lumber ciroles. More recently he operated a tug boat business at Grays Harbor, selling his tug the "Rustler" to the Foss interests of Tacoma.
