"One of the finest building materials ever used in all the west !"-that's what many able construction authorities say about Monolith WaterprooJ Plastic Cement!

It has improvements beyond ordinary cements that help to give complete satisfaction. Used as concrete or mortar this Monolith Cement is waterproof to the highest possible degree. Tested in leading laboratories against competitive cements and "job" tested too, the water-repellent, water-tight quality of Monolith defies comparison. This is the re. sult of a special patented process of manufacture and not the result of adding foreiga ingredients at the time of mixing. You'll find it pays to specify Monolith WaterprooJ Plastic Cement. It costs no more to get the best !

MAKE lHlS IEST-Take a handful of ordinary plastic or even so-called waterproof cement. Sprinkle a few drops of water on it. Notice how other brands absorb or cloud the water. See how Monolith repells the water, like a duck's back, leaving it crystal.clear MONOLITH PORTLAND CEMENT COMPANY o LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

Wishes sometimes come true. There was a popular song that said that "if you wish long enough, wish strong enough" your wish will come true.

How many times in ;".rJ few years since Hitler started out to crush the civilized world have you heard people say: "Wouldn't it be a grand thing for the rest of the world if Hitler and Stalin would only lock horns?,, No doubt millions have uttered that remark, and other millions have thought it. WeIl, there's one general wish that has certainly come true. Those two great powers for evil are locked in deadly and mortal combat. How much this bloody diversion will help England remains to be seen.

Reams have been -rr.,l' lr"l" "nr.r,s armies plunged across the Russian lines about the political aspects of the situation. The crux of American opinion seems to be that every Nazi, every Nazi gun, plane, tank, and other weapon of destruction that the Soviet can put out of commission, is just that many that will not be used against England-or ourselves-later on. ***

Read one of the finest tributes to the character of the British people-particularly with reference to their habits in war-the other day, to be found in literature. ft was written by Sir Walter Scott in the .,fntroduction,' to his immortal poem book "The Lady of the Lake.,' It is really a beautiful character sketch of the English as a breed, when Scott writes of "the generous compassion which the English-more than any other nation-feel for the misfortunes of an honorable foe." Can you imagine finding compassion for a foe in Hitler or Stalin?

*t{<

Compassion is a Christ-like characteristic at any time and in any breast. But the compassion that finds expression in the hearts of warriors for an honorable foe, deserves the praise of men and angels alike. Sir Walter could have sounded no higher praise of the English. And, coming from a Scotchman, it is high tribute, indeed. ***

Nowadays everyone seems to be telling everyone else

what to read, particularly with reference to the war. So let's join the throng. Have you read, "The White Cliffs of Dover," by Alice Duer Miller? If not, you've missed a masterpiece. That is, if you like poetry. It is a little book of poetry, with war as a background, is told in England, and with some American sidelights. Miss Miller sure wrote herself a whale of a little book, photographing the spirit of England at war, in marvelous fashion.

You hear and read " ,ra "0""a what may be expected when this world war finally ends-as end it must, some day. One thing seems fairly certain if civilization survives, and that is that the end of the war will find the English-speaking peoples of this world bound together by bands stronger than ties of steel. What the novelist called "the bright face of danger"-a common and heartshaking danger-is bringing Americans and Britons closer and closer together. England must and will be saved from the mailed fist of the destroyer, who knows nothing of compassion or of mercy. And in the years and generations to come these English-speaking nations will be a power for good and a power for peace that will mean everything to a war-torn world, striving to rebuild a tattered civilization. What better coalition for saving humanity could arise? ***

We who have been accustomed for the past decade and more to look upon lumber as a disappearing industry, note with wonder what the American defense effort is doing directly for the industry. It started out with tremendous orders for materials for housing our new army, navn etc. Now it spreads far beyond that. From various departments of Government there come to our desks communications of many sorts, suggesting new and useful things that wood and lumber can do right now to help in the defense effort.

**:k

For instance there is one from Nathan Strauss of the United States Housing Authority, many pages devoted to specific suggestions for releasing various metals for strictly Governmental use by replacing them with wood. It is important that the metals that Defense needs shall be re-

leased from ordinary use' and, in order to keep business moving, that they be satisfactorily replaced' So USHA suggests wood and lumber for scores of practical uses' The matter is put up to the lumber folks to find the right wood to make the various replacements, not as a commercial proposition, but as a duty to help keep the wheels turning in the national "T"lt"i:".

Surely lumber is getting the breaks. It is being used in huge quantities in places and directions where lumber ordinarily goes; and in addition, because of its versatility and adaptability it is being suggested for an almost infinite variety of substitutions for metals that are so needed for guns, planes, and tanks. We know that we need all the steel and aluminum the country can turn out' The production of those metals is limited' But there is greater elasticity to the possible production of lumber than there is to steel and aluminum, and without a doubt the lumber industry will find the means to produce and deliver the materials that are needed, and supply them in satisfactory fashion.

President Asks Funds to Double Defense Housing Program

The President has asked Congress to double the defense housing program by appropriating an additional $300,000,000 to construct 75,000 new homes' Construction work is still incomplete on the first 75,000 defense housing units approved, but the President states that by June, t{+2, tZl,m additional housing units will be needed' The new appropriation does not cover the President's estimate of our full requirements.

"The effect of the defense housing program has not yet been fully registered on the housing market," the President's message declared. "Some new plants have not yet reached full capacity and many new facilities remain to be constructed."

fndustry-Wide Pubfic Refations Committee

Appointed

Washington, July 1-M. L. Fleishel, NLMA president, has announced the industry-wide committee which will seek the funds necessary to implement the campaign to improve the forest industries' standing with the general public as recommended by the NLMA Executive Committee at its May 15 meeting in Washington.

F. K. \Areyerhaeuser will serve as General Chairman with C. C. Sheppard and Walter Neils as Co-Chairmen of the new 4Gman group rvhich represents all of NLMA,s federated associations.

Appointment of the General Committee establishes the machinery for providing the $300,000 necessary annually to conduct the 'rvork outlined in a public relations program presented to the Executive Committee by a special subcommittee on public relations which had studied the problem for several months in collaboration with the NLMA staff and Selvage & Smith, New York public Relations Counsel. The detailed plan of action lr,as contained in a l0O page publication-Better Public Relations For Lumber.

Because the new public relations work calls for the cooperation of a large group of varied forest industries, it will be conducted by the American Forest products Industries, Inc.

Coincidental u'ith the establishment of the larger committee. Mr. Fleishel appointed a temporary committee for the administration of the new activity. The membership of this group is: J. I\{. Brown, Earl McGou,in, Corydon Wagner, L. G. Carpenter, F. K. Weyerhaeuser, R. C. Winton, C. C. Sheppard, and I\f. L. Fleishel.

General committee appointments were:

Appalachian: Luther Griffith, E. M. Vestal.

Hardwood Dimension: C. Arthur Bruce, parrish Fuller.

Maple Flooring: John Bush.

Northeastern: Kenneth Hancock, Ned Plunkett.

Northern Hemlock: John S. Landon, John M. Bush, Geo. N. Harder.

Southern Cypress: C. R. Macpherson.

Southern Hardwood Producers: W. W. Kellogg. H. M. Seaman, Lee Robinson.

Southern Pine: E. M. McGowin, P. A. Bloomer, L. O. Crosby, Arthur Temple, W. H. Burruss, O. N. Cloud.

Veneer: Thomas A. Dean.

West Coast: Corydon Wagner, E. A. Lewis, 'Walter B. Nettleton, Edmund Hayes.

Western Pine: E. N. McDevitt, C. L. Billings, J. M. Brown, R. R. Macartney, T. S. Walker, Swift Berrr,. A. G. Glassow.

Ex-Officio: M. L. Fleishel, I. N. Tate.

NLMA's Subcommittee on Public Relations, which lvas instructed by their directors in Novemb er, 194O, to study the standing of the forest industries with the public, was composed of Corydon 'Wagner, F. K. Weyerhaeuser, R. C. Winton, C. C. Sheppard and Leonard Carpenter.

One of the Subcommittee's first moves was to seek means of determining the position of the forest industries with both the public and the merchants, builders and mechanics who work rvith their proclucts. The Subcommittee felt that an authoritative diagnosis of the reasons for unfavorable items in the public press concerning the forest industries and generally unsympathetic attitudes elsewhere, was an indispensable first step in the preparation of a program to fairly present full facts concerning the industry's stewardship of the forests and their generally progressive outlook.

With the assistance of NLI\IA the Committee determined to employ up-to-date scientific means of sampli.ng the reactions, or lack of reactions. among its customers and the public. In March Opinion Research, Inc., the commercial counterpart of the highly successful Institute of public Opinion, which originated the successful sampling methods ofDr. George Gallup, .ivas employed to make rvhat is probably the first authoritative survey of general thinking concerning those who utilize American forest resources. The Committee has decided that ,.off-the-cuff,, opinions concerning the industry's standing would no longer be acceptable as a basis on which to build a constructir.e public relations program.

Opinion Research, Inc., has already delivered to the public Relations Administration Committee the first draft of its preliminary conclusions. It is expected that a full report can be made to the entire industry some time late in July.

The sawmill operators who were responsible for the inauguration of the survey of the industry, the operating plan and the employment of advisory public relations counsel, expect to invite into the program forest products interests other than lumber manufacturers. Obviously, public appraisal of the manner in rvhich forest resources are employed will not differentiate between commercial forms lvhich timber crops ultimately assume.

American Forest Products fndustries, fnc., organized several years ago to permit lumbermen to be joined in constructive efforts by other forest industries, finds the netv public relations programs its most important undertaking. Carried to a successful conclusion, the public relations program as outlined will establish an activity doubling the current collective industry rvork now being conducted by the National Lumber Manufecturers' Association.

Kimsul Insulation Comes to the West Coast

The George E. Ream Company of Los Angeles, announce that they have added Kimsul Blanket Insulation to their line, and have a stock available for immediate distribution.

Kimsul is a wood product and a very interesting material. It is one of the safest, most efficient and lasting insulations known to science. It is one of the most remarkable heat stoppers ever developed, and low in cost and easy to install. Those who are familiar with insulation will recognize in Kimsul all the properties required of a good insulating

will float indefinitely on water, positively identifying its resistance to moisture penetration. An ideal insulation is one of very light weight. l-inch thick Kimsul weighs -only about igO tUs. to the thousand square feet. This in itself indicates the relation of air cells which weigh nothing to fibres.

An insulation to be practical for lumber dealers to sell must be packed so that it can be easily handled, readily delivered to the job, and conveniently installed by the customer. Kimsul answers all these requirements as it is shipped compressed in paper cartons. Each carton containing approximately 5l tlmes its apparent bulk. This is accomptisnea by expanding the insulating material by stretching the blanket a[ the time it is installed. The convenience of this will be at once recognized. Space in the dealer's warehouse is always at a premium. The footage that can be handled in one truck load is also of importance. The protected packing that permits Kimsul to be shipped along with other miterials is of equal merit. Loose insulations that will take no weight and cannot readily be bulked with other materials are a nuisance to the dealer.

The condensed packing of Kimsul appeals greatly to contractors. It facilitates distribution about the job. The packages are easily handed up through small openings or t9 c9ncealed places. The clean material and firm, well-stitched blanket also appeals to workmen. There is nothing to cause irritation of eyes, nose, skin abrasions, or otherwise annoy. The cleanliness and convenient handling of Kimsul assures a maximum of finished installations Per man per day.

It is also a great convenience to builders to have an insulation that can be installed easily either over a flat ceiling, or under a gable roof. An insulation that can also be drawn behind oi around conduit, plumbing, cross braces and other obstructions. Builders, too, like this insulation because odd pieces can be tucked into narrow spaces between ftames and other inconvenient and inaccessible places. Also, it can be wrapped around plumbing pipes for sound deadening and heat insulation.

Note the strong atitching irr Kinsul thct Leeps the bltrnket in plcce without scrgging or ailtiag.

material. It is composed of an expanded wood pulp containing literally millions of air cells, and is built up of a great many separate plies so that there is surface resistance between each ply. The surface of the plies is crinkled so that they do not come in contact but form little air cells between each ply.

In the application of an insulation it is necessary to retain the air cell structure independently of the problems of application and the care by the workmen. In Kimsul this is accomplished by forming the material into an elastic but compressed blanket which is secured in place and then stretched until a series of stitching becomes taut. This is' simple and almost foolproof and assures the maximum of insulating value. The value of air spaces is unquestionable and in the application of Kimsul an air space is formed between the lath or sheathing so that the customer obtains this extra value without cost. Moisture resistance is highly important and Kimsul is integrally treated with asphalt, one of the best moisture stoppers known. Kimsul blanket

The question commonly arises as to how much insulation is required for a specific purpose. The requirements of course vary with locality and conditions. For a summer climate, Double-Thick Kimsul, nominally Z-inch, applied with an air space, over a ceiling reduces the heat transfer in a ventilated attic by approximately 85/o. This can be expressed in a better way. At a typical location having a hot summer sun and a typical house having a ventilated attic and a plain plastered ceiling the temperature of the ceiling itself at the hot part of the day would be about 21o hotter than the air in the house. Obviously, this ceiling will act as a great radiator to heat the room. We have all had this experience and know what it is.

Adding Standar<i l-inch Kimsul, applied with an air space would reduce the ceiling temperature to only 6f" above the air in the room, and Double-Thick, Z-inch Kimsul to |fo warmer than the room. Obviously, further insulation would be uneconomical as the temperature of the ceiling now is so low that the rooms are no longer heated from this source in comparison with the heat that filters through walls, windows, ventilation, etc.

For winter conditions. the situation is much the same. Winter insulation. however, serves two functions. One is an out-and-out saving of fuel, which itself will pay for the insulation, and the other is of more importance, a marked increase in comfort due to the uniform distribution of heat

California Lumber Census ]or 1940

California's lumber cut is almost back to the boom days of 'D according to the preliminary 194O statement of production of lumber, lath and shingles compiled by F. A. Gruenwald, Special Agent of the Bureau of the Census stationed at the California Forest and Range Experiment Station of the Forest Service, Berkeley.

Lumber production in 1940 showed an increase over 1939 of 272 and, a half million board feet or over 16 per cent. The total production for the year of 1,957,n1,m board feet was the largest in eleven years. Ponderosa pine formed 48.8 of the total production and shorved an increase over 1939 of 13.9 per cent. The redwood region had almost an equal gain, 13 per cent, while sugar pine. the third most important lumber tree of the state, gained 17.1 per cent. The detailed cut is as follo'r,r's:

Lumber Cut-M Ft. B. M. (Mills cutting 50 M or over)

(2) Includes California red fir (Abies magnifica), which is not produced in sufficient quantity to have established a separate market status.

(3) The pine region cut was incense cedar with the exception of 100 M feet of Port Orford and a very small amount of westerrt red cedar; all of the redwood re.gion cedar was Port Orford.

(a) Bigtree (Sequoia washingtoniana).

(5) Redwood of the coast (S,equoia sempervirens).

(6) Includes a,bout 18 million feet, mostly Douglas fir, cut from Oregon logs.

Administrator announced today. Mr. Strauss recommended substitutes for steel, copper and bronze which will save from half-ton to a ton of metals for each USHA home built.

Aluminum is barred entirely. "It should not be necessary to specify aluminum for any purpose," the Administrator said. "The saving will not be only the actual tonnage of the metal but since a large amount of fabrication goes into the manufacture of these products, men and machines badly needed in national defense will be released for essential production," he declared.

Wood will be the major material used in place of metal in USHA projects. Concrete will also replace steel in some instances.

Some of the projects will do without metal gutters and down spouts since such items can be placed after the emergency is over and metals become readily available again, Mr. Strauss said.

He requested architects to scrutinize every metal article carefully. "Clothes posts, chains and street signs may seem quite small in themselves, but the total can bulk large," he stated.

Considerable galvanized iron has been used in many USHA projects for outdoor purposes. Replacing this with wood, where possible, will save not only iron or steel but zinc which is in even greater demand in defense work. In line with the request to eliminate bronze wherever possible, cut stone or even wood will replace bronze for the commemorative plaques which mark every public housing project.

Metal in electrical plumbing and heating equipment is 'not so easily eliminated, but USHA is consulting with manufacturers and government officials concerned in an endeavor to find satisfactory substitutes for essential metals.

The USHA's recommendations to its own technical staff, to architects and'to all local authorities follow:

Aluminum: Should be eliminated entirely. It should not be necessary to specify aluminum for any purpose.

Bronze, Brass, Nickel and Tin: Should be eliminated rvherever possible but on some standard manufactured products, such as hardrvare, elimination or reduction in amount will depend in part upon the manufacturer.

Copper: Should be conserved. Avoid use as sheet metal where feasible, but specification for manufactured products using copper need not be changed except as requested by manufacturer.

Zinc: Should be eliminated wherever possible. Wherever iron or steel can be painted do not require galvanizing.

Steel and Iron: Endeavor to conserve weight and fabrication. IJse in preference to other metals listed, but use wood or other substitutes where reasonably practical to do so.

Non-Metallic Items: Specifications should not call for cork and mica and rubber tile should not be used.

Reinforced Concrete: Design carefully and reduce the quantity of steel to the minimum required.

Roofing and Sheet Metal: Use of steel in place of copper and painted sheets in lieu of zinc coated. Composition flashing may be used in lieu of metal. Gutters and downspouts may be omitted and installed at a later date or wood gutters may be used. Built-up roofing may be used for hoods and porches instead of metal. The gravel stop or edging may be of metal since the quantity required is small.

Windows: Should be of rvood rvith rvood trim. stiles. aprons, casings and stops. If screens are to be furnished they should be wood trimmed. Copper rvire screen cloth may be used, because the weight involved is small and black wire is difficult to obtain.

Interior Finish: Items which in certain projects have been supplied in metal, such as door bucks, baseboard, trim and doors, should be specified to be of wood. Do not specify rubber for base or for other uses as trim or finish.

Stairs: IJse wood stairs in buildings not over two stories high. Concrete rather than steel stairs may be practical in higher buildings.

Structural Steel: Reduce the quantity required by careful design, or by the use of reinforced concrete or timber members in place of steel.

Miscellaneous and Ornamental Iron: As far as possible these items should be reduced to a minimum. Balustrades, newels, porch columns and railings should be of wood. Cast iron should be used where conditions indicate the need for metal for thresholds, treads, foundation wall vents, etc., in place of wrought iron, aluminum, copper or bronze.

Plastering: IJse wood furring, wood grounds, and screeds, and gypsum lath as much as possible in lieu of corresponding items of metal. Reduce the amount of metal used to a minimum consistent to the type of construction used.

Carpentry: Kitchen cabinets should be of wood.

Bronze Plaques: In place of the bronze plaque use cut stone or wood.

Clothes Line Posts: Use wood.

Chain Link Fence: Fencing should be eliminated except where absolutely needed. Wood fence can be used in most cases where fencing is necessary.

Flag Poles: Can be eliminated entirely.

Reinforced Concrete Retaining Walls, Meter Pits, Culverts and Sewers: Stone masonry may in some cases be used in lieu of concrete for retaining walls. But use of a certain amount of reinforcing steel is generally unavoidable.

Concrete Pavement: Mesh reinforcement can usually be omitted. Dou'els for joint reinforcement need not be omitted since they amount to only about 5 pounds per dwelling unit.

Concrete Walks, Fills Around Butts of Poles, Etc.: IJse heavier concrete construction without reinforcing; use precast blocks or stone.

Playground Equipment: Almost all types of equipment are reported to be available in predominantly r,vood construction.

Hand Rails and Steps in Walks and at Entrances: Wood.

Lighting Standards : Wood.

Street Name Signs: Wood.

Rubbish Cans: (Sunken) Use ordinary kind of can. May be screened by wood fence.

Porch Columns, Vine Ladders: Wood.

Benches: Wood, concrete or a combination.

Porch Steps, Stoops: Heavier cast concrete; precast concrete blocks; wood.

San Diego Will Get 500 Workers' Homes

Washington, July 1.-Federal Works Administrator John M. Carmody today approved a site in Southeast San Diego, Calif., for construction of 500 prefabricated demountable dwellings for families of defense workers. The site includes two tracts of land, one containing 80 acres and the other 26 acres, in the vicinity of Valencia Park.

Named Head of OPM Lumber Section Black Walnut Yields Hishest Priced Timber

Washington, July l-Reorganization within the OPM has resulted in some new appointments to the Lumber and Timber Products Section and will probably result in the establishment of a new Industry Advisory Committee to fit the OPM's altered policy in connection with industry committees in general.

The Lumber and Timber Products Section, which is now under the Purchases Division of the OPM, directed by Donald Nelson, will be headed by John Foley, of Philadelphia, Forester of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who will take charge on July 1. His associates will be James M. Alexander, refrigerator manufacturer of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and L. W. Smith, former N.L.M.A. staff member.

The new Lumber Section will handle all questions concerning lumber and timber products, despite its location in the Division of Purchases. Such questions may concern purchases, production and priorities. The assignment of the Lumber Section to the Purchases Division in place of the Production Division under John M. Biggers results from the conclusion that predominant defense problems relating to lumber and timber products are likely to be purchasing rather than production or priorities.

It is not yet possible to secure much detailed information concerning the formation of a new Defense Advisory Committee.

Kimsul Ingulation Comes to the \(/est Coast

throughout the house. Cold ceilings and cold walls create cold drafts, and cold spots that cannot be offset by turning the furnace up or turning the furnace down. The old adage that "They pushed the damper in, and they pulled the .damper out, but the smoke went up the chimney just the .same," strictly refers to a house that is not insulated, as in .such a house it can be too hot in one spot and too cold in another and impossible to be comfortable throughout the 'house.

Dealers will welcome the addition of Kimsul to their line .as it is a product they can sell profitably and at the same time build repeating business. It is important not to overlook such unusual uses as trailer insulation, refrigerated trucks, cold storage rooms and boxes, air ducts and piping, .etc. Kimsul is a fine material for sound insulation. All of these will add to a growing volume of the dealer's business.

The George E. Ream Company have an Engineering Department under the charge of C. W. "Neil" Comegys. Neil is an expert on insulation and sound control and is always glad to answer any questions or help solve any technical or application problem a dealer encounters.

The native American black walnut continues to yield the highest priced timber in the United States, the U. S. Department of Agriculture reports in its annual summary by the Forest Service on stumpage and log prices. Black walnut logs brought an average of $86.21 per thousand board feet for all States, although one purchase at a price in excess of $200 was reported.

Average prices for all hardwoods, including black walnut in log sales reported, were $20.57, and for softwoods $13.30 per thousand board feet. Stumpage or standing timber sales averaged $2.48 for softwoods and $5.87 for hardwoods.

Prices of standing timber and logs as in previous years, the summary indicates, are higher as they are nearer to districts of largest wood products consumption. While Ponderosa pine, largely in virgin stands, was bringing an average of only $2.81 per thousand feet in the far West, northern white pine which was largely second growth, was bringing $4.57 in the Lake States and the Northeast. Similarly, the famous Douglas fir, largely in virgin stands also, brought $1.77, while shortleaf pine brought an average of $4.43 per thousand board feet of standing timber.

Cedars were the most expensive of the softwoods. Logs of Southern white cedar and eastern red cedar averaged about $35 per thousand board feet. Port Orford cedar logs sold at nearly $25, Alaska cedar at $20, and western red cedar at better than $16 per thousand feet.

Other high-priced softwoods included cypress at $18.29, western rvhite pine at $16.81, Norway spruce at $16.12, and eastern spruce at only a few cents less.

Next to walnut, the highest priced hardwood was the common rvhite-florvering dogwood, used for shuttles in the weaving industry because of its hardness and other special characteristics. Because of its general scarcity and slow growth, the price was $34 per thousand for the 40 thousand board feet reported.

Other log prices were: locust $29.62; basswood, $26.03; rock elm, $28.15; birch, ash and yellow poplar slightly more than $25, hard maple $24.83, butternut $22.10, and u,hite oak, cherry and hickory about $21 per thousand board feet.

IT'S THE SERVICE THAT COUNTS AFTER ALL

It isn't the COST of the home that you sell, Nor the stuff out of which it is made, It isn't a question of "does it look well?" Or whether the colors will fade; Nor the modern conveniences you have built in, Nor the paper you've hung on the wall, But the real thing is, did you serve with a grin? It's the service that counts, after all.

It isn't a question how long it will stand The rigors of snow or of rain; Or the roofs or the walls or the entrance so grand Or the sash, or the door, or the pane; It isn't the paint or the finish or floor, The bath, breakfast nook, or the hall, But there's one thing that matters each day, more and more It's the service that counts after all.

It isn't the place where you hang up your hat, Or the open air porch where you rest, When sleeping time comes; and it isn't the mat That says "Welcome," and you know the rest; It isn't the color the shape or the style, That makes Mr. I{ome Buyer fall, But there's one great big thing that just makes them all smile-

It's the service that counts after all.

There's many a man that sells quality stock, In shingles and millwork and lumber, Who still would require a dynamite shock, To rouse him from deep business slumber; Dig up new ideas, and keep up your pep, Keep hustling-keep smiling-work hard-watch your step-

It's the service ttat counts after all GAME

INDIFFERENCE AND ENTHUSIASM

Indifference is the opposite of enthusiasm. Indifference never leads armies to conquer, never models statues that live, nor moves with heroic philanthropies. Enthusiasm it was that wrought the statue of Menon and hung the brazen gates of Thebes; it fixed the mariner's trembling needle upon its axis, and first heaved the great bar of the printing press. It opened the tubes of Galileo until world after world swept across his vision; and it reefed the topsail that rulfled over Columbus in the morning breezes of the Bahamas. ft has held the sword with which freedom has won her battles, and poised the axe of the dauntless woodsman as he blazed the pathway of civilization. It turned the mystic leaves upon which Shakespeare and Milton inscribed their burning thoughts, and sustained and soothed the soul of Thomas Jefrerson in his declining days.

\(/age-Hour Committee Recommends FiveCent Increase in Forest Industries

Minimum Wage

Washington, June 26.-After three days of testimony, Industry Committee No. 3O, representing the Lumber and Forest Products Industries as defined by the Wage-Hour Division, recommended to the Administrator today that the prevailing minimum wage for all industries under the Wage-Hour definition be raised from 30c to 35c.

The Committee, composed of eight lumbermen, eight representatives of the public and five representatives of labor, further recommended that Administrator Fleming seek an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which would bring intra-state industry under the law and make it subject to the same requirements as forest industries doing business inter-state.

This action was in line with the testimony of most of the witnesses who stressed the competitive inequalities created by the exemption of intra-state industries, and emphasized the difficulty of fairly enforcing the exemption.

According to the Wage-Hour law, the Administrator may accept or reject the wage recommendation of the Industry Committee, but prior to such action public hearings must be held, at which anyone with an interest must be given the right to be heard.

Verbal assurances have been given by the Wage-Hour Administrator that, if issued, a ruling establishing the new 35c minimum will not be effective before September 30.

Extends FHA Thtee Years

Hyde Park, N. Y., June Z&-President Roosevelt today signed a bill extending the powers of the Federal Housing Administration for three more years-until July l, 1944and boosting f'rom $4,000,000,000 to $5,00O,000,000 the amount of loans on individual dwellings which the agency may insure.

The FHA's powers would have lapsed July I without the continuing legislation.

The bill increases from $100,000,000 to $165,000,00O the limit on insured loans for purposes of modernizing or repairing old buildings and boosts from $2500 to $5000 the amount which may be insured for an individual remodeling job on a home.

The salary of the administrator is raised from $10,000 to $12,000 a year, beginning July 1. The present director is Abner H. Ferguson.

Hazardous Occupations Order No. 4

Effective August 1

Washington, D. C., July 1, l941.-Occupations in the logging and sawmilling industries are declared to be particularly hazardous for minors between 16 and 18 years of age by Hazardous Occupations Order No. 4, it was announced today by Katharine F. Lenroot, Chief of the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor.

This order, effective August 1, 1941, was issued under the childlabor provisions of the Fair'Labor Standards Act and has the effect of raising the minimum age for employment in these occupations from 16 years to 18 years. The act applies to producers, manufacturers or dealers who ship goods in interstate commerce or deliver such goods for shipment.

The order was based upon careful investigation of the occupations and extensive consultation with safety experts, employer and labor groups, and publication of a Bureau report on "The lfazards of Logging and Sawmill Employment for Young Workers." No objection was made to its terms at a public hearing held in Washington, D. C., on May 28,1941. It declares as hazardous for minors between 16 and 18 years of age all occupations in logging and all occupations in any sawmill, lath mill, shingle mill, or cooperage-stock mill. Excepted from its provisions are: Work in offices and repair and maintenance shops; work in the operation and maintenance of living quarters, work in timber cruising, surveying and logging-engineering parties, work in forest protection, and work in the feeding or care of animals used in logging.

Logging of pulpwood is covered when in connection with the logging of timber for other uses but not where pulpwood only is logged. Work in timber culture and timber stand improvement is not classed as a logging occupation and is not covered by the order, nor is work in emergenc)' fire-fighting in the event of forest fires.

In issuing order No. 4, Miss Lenroot called to the attention of employers the fact that they can protect themselves from unintentional violations of the child-labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act by keeping on file certificates of age for all minors claiming to be 18 or 19 years old employed in occupations declared hazardous as well as certificates for all 16- and l7-year-old minors in occupations not declared hazardous. Information on the issuance of certificates may be obtained from the Children's Bureau, U. S. Depprtment of Labor, Washington, D. C., or from State departments of labor or education.

Chicago, July ll-The lending of $130,953,00O by the savings, building & loan associations of the country during May, the record volume for any post-depression month, is reported this week by the United States Savings and Loan League. This makes the second month in a row in which these institutions' lending activity has reached new high ground, according to Morton Bodfish, Chicago, executive vice president. The gain over May of 19,10 was 14.32 per cent and over April of this year was 8.5 per cent.

Seasonal influences coupled with all along the line increases in employment, payrolls, real estate activity, and home building, account for the record lending activity of the savings and loan institutions during the month. A fraction over 73 per cent of their dollar volume is norv being diverted into the two main channels of residential real estate financing, new construction and home purchase. May saw a new high for the past eleven years in the volume lent for purchase of existing homes, $6,400,000 more than in any previous month.

Steadily since the first of the year the tide of savings and loan lending to home-owners and builders has been swelling, and this is the thirtieth consecutive month which has seen a larger volume of advances than the like month of the previous year. The result of the steady upward climb in activity is, Mr. Bodfish pointed out, that today both volume of construction loans and of home purchase are double what they were three years ago.

FHA Activity in Northern California

During May, 1941, the Federal Housing Administration accepted for insurance mortgages amounting to $8,677.100 on 2003 new homes now being built within the 46 counties of the Northern California district.

This represents an increase in number of approximately 35.9 percent over the same month last year when mortgages totaling $6,224,9m were accepted (commitments issued) on 1474 new homes built under FHA inspection and construction requirements, and compares with 890 mortgages amounting to $3,842,900 accepted for insurance during May, 1939.

Defense housing in designated industrial areas, financed under the recently enacted Title VI of the National Housing Act, added 311 mortgages accepted for $1,155,70O to the May totals of FHA operations in the Northern California district. This new construction was confined to the VallejoBenicia and Richmond areas.

Douglas Fir Region Supplier Long

Timbers

Timber material from the Douglas fir region in urgent demand for national defense is illustrated in this picture of Douglas fir spars up to 110 feet longand 32 inches in diameter, ready for shipment to New York. They will be used for "stiff leg" derricks in defense construction. No other forest region can supply such timbers, which take up steel shortages. Similar sizes of Douglas fir are urgently needed for boat building and shipyard construction. The

region is also the only U.S.A. ,o.ril. of Sitka spruce, rvhich is a vital basic material in England's plane-building program.

Makes Timber Connector Method of Construction Standard

Washington, June 30-A plan that calls for the connector system of construction in the design of walks and handrails for both open deck and ballast deck type of timber trestles has been adopted as standard by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad.

The walks vary in size from 2', 7' in width to 2', 9', and use three types of connectors, the 4r/g" flat spike grid, thq Zft" shear plate and the 2/s" toothed ring. They are designed for Cooper's E-45, E-60 and E-72 loadings.

In the open deck trestle, toothed ring connectors are inserted between the vertical posts and the horizontal walk supports and between the horizontal supports and the trestle caps. The spike grids are applied between the vertical intermediate posts and the center horizontal railing while metal angles and shear plates are used to tie the walk to the stringers. This same tie is used between the caps and the horizontal supports under the walk. These connectors

produce more rigid joints and add to the life of the connection.

The walk for the ballast deck is similar to that for the open deck trestle with the exception of the substitution of a horizontal metal channel for the metal angles in connecting the shear plates to the caps and beams carrying the walk.

The timber connector system of construction is finding increasing favor among railroads because of the strong and efficient joint it produces, the reduction in amount of hardware required, and the resulting economy and efficiency of design.

Among railroads, in addition to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, using this method of construction are: Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio, Erie, Illinois Central, New York Central, Pennsylvania, Seaboard Air Line, Southern, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and forty-one others.

Ponderosa Pine Campaign to Help Wooden Ships Are Coming Back Lumber Dealers

Homeowners are being told of the use of stock doors and windows of Ponderosa Pine through a national advertising campaign and a 3?-page "idea" book produced by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork.

The advertisements, currently appearing in consumer magazines such as Better Homes & Gardens, American Home, House & Garden, tell a "spot" story on the use of doors and windows in some part of a home. In addition, architects and builders are being told about the campaign in their trade papers.

Lumber dealers everywhere stand to gain by the public's increased knowledge of standard door and window types, designs, and applications rvhich this campaign is bound to produce. The book, for example, is profusely illustrated with photographs. Many of these photographs are accompanied by plans or isometric drawings, and all carry descriptive captions. In addition, there are "catalog pages" showing a representative number of doors and windows which are offered as stock items in Ponderosa Pine. Another section of the book tells the advantage of storm sash. Care of woodwork is covered in another section; there is a page devoted to decoration of doors, another devoted to decoration of windows. The suggestion that homeowners refer to their local lumber dealer for advice and assistance is frequently made.

Emphasis is given in the book to a current trend in home planning which seems destined to be more than temporary-that of maximum utilization of available space. People want bright, cheerful rooms and maximum convenience. The book helps to explain how good use of doors and windows can give them the advantages they want.

The fact that every house has doors and windows makes it easy for the "trade" to assume that the men and women who are building, buying, and modernizing homes, know all about these items. This Ponderosa Pine Woodwork campaign is of particular value because it is based on the idea that doors and windows deserve special attention because the homeowner must live with them as long as he lives in the house itself. The enduring beauty of Ponderosa Pine, its ability to take and hold any finish, the ease with rvhich it may be worked by hand or machine and its abundance, combine to make it a material builders and architects can recommend.

It is repeatedly stated that doors and windows in sizes. types and designs appropriate to homes of every architectural style and in every price range are available at low cost from lumber dealers almost everl'where.

Washington, June Z4th.-"Wood and Sail Ah'i'ays Come Back," says John F. Coggswell to headline an article in the June 7th issue of "The Saturday Evening Post" that every lumberman should read with interest and pride.

Wooden ships are coming back stronger than ever; builders promise to have 75 ways ready by fall. In 1939 only two yards were building seagoing ships of wood along the Maine coast. This year the record of 185'l-Mai.ne's biggest year-is in a fair way of being broken. Right now they are building the most unusual fleet that Maine has ever launched mine sweepers, swift submarine chasers, and trawlers ina combination of wood and Diesel po\'r'er.

The Yankee shipbuilders will need all the speed they can muster, for the United States Navy alone is demanding 280 vesselsJ40,000,000 worth of auxiliary craftduring the next 12 months, and the fishing industry and others are turning to wooden bottoms.

"Every war has put wood and sail back on the salt waters," says the Post article. "Every man in the business feels that he'll be building windjammers again before this war is ovef." .

"Builders of steel ships are frantically putting in building slips, but they aren't keeping pace. Today, they can't pause to look at a new order; they're plugged to capacity for years to come. They can't even touch the smaller ships."

Of the rvooden ships built in the 1917 emergency, which were later burned: "If afloat today, they'd be worth close to the $200,000 apiece that they cost. For wood bottoms last nearly tvvice as long as steel. They are good for fortyyears."...

"But the wooden vessel will cost a lot less maintenance over a twenty-year period . . The wooden vessel will be sound at the end of twenty years, and good for twice that long a life, but the bottom will be gone out of a steel one."

MOVES YARD TO NEW LOCATION

Blue Star Lumber Co. has announced the removal of its yard to 3204 Tweedv Boulevard, Lynwood. The old location was at 9530 Long Beach Boulevard, South Gate.

ENLARGES OFFICE AND DISPLAY ROOM

Diablo Lumber Company, Antioch, Calif., recently completed the work of enlarging and remodeling the office and display room. E. V. McClintock is manager of this yard.

The Last Parade

The huge debris dam at the Narrows-Nevada and Yuba Counties, California-has been completed and behind it the impounded waters of the Yuba Rivers have formed a lake, which is norv eight miles in length. This will permit the resumption of hydraulic mining along the Yuba rvatersheds, but it will necessitate the razing of the old covered bridge at Bridgeport.

The covered bridge was built in the early sixties of sugar pine hauled from the forests of Sierra County and aside from repairs to its floor and roof has weathered the storms of lr'inter and the heat of summer. We are u'atching its passing with regret.

We are saying good-bye to the old covered bridgeIts long years of service are done; The era that reared it and cherished its fame Is gone and a new one begun;

But the lingering shadows are haunted tonight By dreams of our own pioneersTheir virile adventures, successes. defeats, And the changes they wrought through the vears.

We're saying good-bye to the old covered bridge fn tremulous tones of regret, And the Yuba is singing a plaintive refrain As its waters the worn timbers fret; And the heroes who conquered the turbulent West Ifave come in the semblance of old, To pass once again through the long duskv span 'Ere its years of existence are told.

They come from the valleys. the forests and mines, And down by the long winding grade, Lumberjacks, prospectors, muleteers, To join in the last parade. The pack trains are patiently forming in line, There's a stage coach leading the van, And the hiss of a black snake is echoing now With the voices of beast and of man.

The mule teams draw near with their tinkling bells And now, passing by in review, Are sights and sounds from the later vearsFaces and forms that we knew. Then the vision fades as the mists of dau'n Fade on the pine fringed gradeWas it only a dream tl-ren after all, This colorful last parade ?

Good-bye old bridge, you played your part In the years we can never forget, And you'll stand unchanged in the lancl of dreams Where the past is our heritage yet.

Opent Lumbermen'g Governmantal Service

\(/eyerha euser Establishes Complete Ffue Bureau

C. W. Pinkerton has opened a Lumbermen's Governmental Service Bureau with offices in Sacramento and Whittier. The Bureau will be devoted to the study of legislation and larvs affecting the lumber and building material industry.

The Bureau will provide the following services:

Personal representation at the State Capitol throughout the year in matters pertaining to legislation and pending legislation and laws affecting clients' business; appearing before State officers, boards, commissions or agencies in matters that do not require personal appearance or service of attorney; representing clients on pending legislation or governmental activities; personal letters of interpretation of legislation; notice of the introduction of bills affecting clients' interests; printed copy on request, of special bills; digest of bills affecting the lumber and building material industry, and amendments thereto; legislative services; encouraging legislation of interest to the industry.

Mr. Pinkerton has had many years of legislative experience at Sacramento where he represented the California R.etail Lumbermen's Association. Since the State Association has been discontinued, many lumbermen urged him to start a Bureau so that he can continue this service to lumber and building material industry. The cost of the service to each yard is $1.00 per month.

CHANGES NAME

Change in name of the Charles Miller Lumber Co., Inc., Vallejo, to the Security Lumber Co., fnc., was recently announced. Officers of the company are Dave paganini, president; Louis Claus, vice-president, and W. H. Snowdon, sales manager.

Protection on 1301000-Acre Tree Farm

Tacoma, Wash., June 24, 1941.-With the advent of the 1941 fire hazard, season, the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company has launched a new type defense against the worst enemy of the forests. A standby crew of 30 trained men, supervised by a forester, by means of tank trucks, thousands of feet of hose, portable pumpers, two-way radio sets, lookout towers and other equipment are giving "complete protection" to a compact plot of 130,000 acres in Grays Harbor County,Wash.,a region famed as a timber producer.

Known as the Clemons Tree Farm, the area includes some virgin old growth, largely Douglas Fir, in which logging is still carried on but the great bulk of the acreage is logged over and now in various stages of producing a new forest crop, new trees sprung from the seed tree areas which were left or trees which have been planted by hand as seedlings from the Weyerhaeuser nurseries. The main lumber harvest is probably 50 years in the future.

'fhe fire protection system embraces 170 miles of roads -largely converted logging grades-by means of which water hose lines can be brought quickly to every acre on the "farm."

Equipment includes a fleet of fast, light patrol trucks carrying l3Ggallon tanks of water and "live reels" of hose, heavy fighter trucks which pump four lines of lfinch hose ata time, a bulldozer, 9O miles of telephone line and 16 tlvo-way radio sets by means of which lookouts, patrolmen and dispatcher can report and dispatch.

Key to the protection system is prompt detection of fires nearly all of them man-caused in this a1s3-3nd prompt dispatch of water with hose and pressure to the scene so that the fire may be extinguished while it is still small. Trucks, portable pumpers, hose, other equipment are mobilized at strategic points according to weather conditions and the men are ready to spring into instant action.

Although the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company owns slightly less than half of the protection area, it is underwriting the entire heavy initial expense and also assuming the sizeable operation costs. It is hoped that, by demonstration and example, the full protection system will be expanded to other areas and also win further support as the experiment proves its value as an effective method for perpetuating the timber crop.

Building Materials Price News is Good News, in Government Report

Families who have saved money for purchase of a lot to serve as down payment on a new home found good news in the latest Index of Wholesale Prices from the Labor Department's statistical bureau, states Orrie W. Hamilton, Chairman of Southern California Homes Foundation. Mr. Hamilton quotes the Department's index for the week ending Jtne 7 as showing building materials prices holding an exact level for three straight weeks, and with only two-tenths of one point increase for the previous month, contrasting with a 2.3 per cent rise for all commodities.

"Lumber, the basic building material," continued Mr. Hamilton, "dropped 1.1 point in price on a national average for the week ending June 7. Only two other commodity subgroups among thirty had a greater price decrease. Rents are steadily rising, particularly in the defense-industry centers of California. While supply of some equipment essential to the modern new home is subject to delay at present, due to defense priorities in certain metal products, Southern California Homes Foundation can recommend 'Build Now' in the conviction that moderate prices and good service are still generally available to the renting family that wants new home ownership.

"The local retail lumber dealer is the source of the most dependable information on the home-building situation in his community. It has never been more important that the prospective home owner consult with him, and use the services he has to offer.

"All progressive dealers in this area are equipped to provide design service, either in their own offices or through the contractors who cooperate with them. For such service a new series of plans for homes of moderate cost has been developed. The 'Clover,' presented this week by the Foundation, is a feature design of this group. Planned for comfortable living, with floor areas arranged for convenience and utility, this home may be built economically, and yet have an air of spaciousness. Tl-re good lines of the dormers add to the distinction of the exterior."

"Two Answer Books on Home Building" will be sent free upon post-card request to Southern California Homes Foundation, 1348 "E" Street, San Diego.

New Flexible PlasterBoard Knife Western Pine Ass'n lssues New Booklet

Newest product in the Red Devil line of tools and hardware for painters, glaziers, builders and other craftsmen is the Ptz-(' flexible plaster board knife shown in the accompanying cut. Its many features make the new knife especially useful in producing clean joints on plaster board, tile board and similar wallboard installations.

The full 4-inch blade has a sharp, square edge providing a smooth troweled effect and leaving a level plaster surface over the entire joint. The blade is carefully ground from semi-flexible, oil hardened and tempered tool steel, and will bend to a point about ll inct'es above the edge. Its mirror-like polish prevents plaster "drag" and makes it easy to keep the blade clean. Full-bellied side curves increase the blade's plaster-holding surface and eliminate excessive spilling. The blade goes right through to the tip of the handle in one solid piece.

Other construction features of this new tool include an oversize alloy bolster designed to prevent water and plaster from creeping under the handle, a genuine oversize imported cocobolo.handle ground to a shape that provides a real "he-man" grip and hand-polished and waxed, and four brass compression rivets (not pins) holding the handle permanently on the tang of the blade.

Further information about this new Red Devil P12 knife may be obtained from the manufacturer, Landon P. Smith, fnc., Irvington, N. J.

IOO,OOO FHA HOMES IN SIX MONTHS

Washington, D. C., June 28-Private home construction in the United States under the program of the Federal Housing Administration, will approximate 100,00O units in the first half of 194I, a gain of 25 per cent over last year, Administrator Abner H. Ferguson announced.

Portland, Oregon, July 2-As an aid to better retail merchandising, the Western Pine Association, with headquarters in this city, has published a new booklet titled, "A Guide to Store and Shop Uses of Western Pines." Its 16 pages are replete with timely suggestions for using Western Pines to advantage in smart and original displays, fixtures, backgrounds and paneled walls. It is profusely illustrated with over 90 pictures of exteriors and interiors showing distinctive background accessories and striking display arrangements in stores and shops from coast to coast.

This attractive publication was prepared in collaboration with A.E. Ffurst, store display analyst, who is a recognized authority on modern merchandising methods. Mr. Hurst is author of the 433-page Prentice-Hall book "f)isplaying Merchandise for Profit."

In view of the fact that changes are constantly being made in display methods used in retail department stores and specialty shops, this new booklet is most timely as there is a very noticeable trend towards a greater use of rvood for interior store displays and window backgrounds. Examples of outstanding installations of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine can be seen in scores of the nation's leading stores and exclusive shops.

This booklet should prove a valuable guide to store and shop managers, advertising departments, window display men and others responsible for store window displays and interior promotions. Architectural woodworking plants, cabinet shops and retail lumber dealers also will find this publication helpful in stimulating increased business through the sale of Western Pines for retail establishments and other commercial applications. Interested persons desiring a copy of "A Guide to Store and Shop Uses of Western Pines" may secure one free from the Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.

New Boolclet on Wood Fences Prclerence Rating for Railroad Car Builders

Portland, Oregon, June 30Wood fences are staging quite a comeback throughout the nation and there has been considerable renewed interest in the subject oflate. A timely booklet, "Let's Build a Wood Fence", has recently been published by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. This 16-page publication is profusely illustrated with many types and varieties of wood fences and gates. The Western Pine Association assisted in its preparation and on its supply of copies reference is made on the back cover to the use of Western Pines for fencing materials.

Retail lumber dealers, builders and lovers of homes and gardens will find this attractive little booklet on fence architecture very helpful and practical. Persons interested in obtaining a copy of "Let's Build a Wood FEnce", may get one without charge by writing to the Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.

To give clearance to the new railroad car construction program, the Division of Priorities of the Office of Production Management has announced a limited blanket rating to 60 car builders to facilitate freight car building and to assure a continuous flow of adequate supplies and materials. Car builders are urged to substitute non-scarce materials for critical items wherever possible. Wood is recognized as the material most adaptable for this purpose.

The rating provided in the order is A-3. This puts the requirements for freight-car construction and repairs behind the top needs in the A-1 classes, but ahead of the less essential needs with lower ratings. The rating can be used to facilitate the obtaining of material and equipment entering into freight car construction, including railroad, industrial and mine freight cars.
