The California Lumber Merchant - July 1942

Today's greatest opportunity for your bontiactors, regirdleee oi the size and scope of their operationso comes from *ood construction with the Teco Connector.

Because of the Teco Connector system of conetruction, numeroue types of Btructures, whose construction hitherto called for other materials, are now being built of lumber.

The Teco Connector makes it possible to utifize 80/6 to 100/s of the strength of lumber or timbers at jointsiinstead of from 40/s to 6O/s as formerly. The jointB are more riqid. Buildings go up faster. There ie-a great eav-iniin foaterials, both criticil and non--critical. A vast new field for enginering rnith lumber is now opened. along with a great new market for ihe l"i'bsr deafer.

Under the impact of the war effort, with a scarcity of critical materials, the Teco Connector has reinforced the unique structural valuee of lumber and ofened the way to the congtruction of factories, theaters, recreation oenters, garages, hangars, pre-fabricated homeso large churchee ind buildinge of many oiher typee.

Any competent engineer can design f;r woo-d conetruciion with Teco C6nnectore. The normally ekilled carpenter ie at home working with them-'Write today for the book, "-A[ear Jobs in Our Toum That Can Best Be Buih of Woodo'. ft's information that everv lumber dealer should have.

How Lrumber Lrooks

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported that lumber production for the week ended July 4 stood at I45 per cent of the average of the corresponding week for 1935-39, and shipments 167 per cent.

Production for the week totaled 216,219,000 feet, shipments 258,035,000 feet, and orders booked 257,674,00A l.eet.

Seattle, Washington, July 9,1942.:The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in June (4 weeks) was 176,608,000 board feet, or 91.1 per cent of estimated capacity, according to the 'West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 208,425,W board feet; shipments, 198,760,000. Weekly averages for May were: Production, 180,023,000 board feet (91.4 per cent of the 1926-1929 average) ; orders, n1,695,W0 ; shipments, 199,191,000

25 weeks of. 1942, cumulative production, 4,265,271,W board feet;25 weeks, l94l-4,@6,925,ffi;25 weeks, 19403,339,010,0m. -

Orders f.or 25 weeks of 1942 break down as follows: rail, 3,924,537,Offi board feet; domestic cargo, 511,574,000; export, 52,624,O0O; local, 652,571,W.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 1,067,213,000 board feet at the end of June; gross stocks, at 756,034,000.

Declaration of lumber as a critical material by War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson, was the main event of the month in the West Coast lumber industry. lVIr. Nelson's statement said :

"Lumber from every region in the United States is an important and critical material in our whole war program . . . The production of war materials such as lumber from the woods and copper from the mines is just as important in preparations for defeat of the Axis as is the production of finished war items made from such material. Indeed, without the raw materials the finished products cannot be made."

While war requirements for West Coast lumber remain unchanged, the WPB declaration puts the industry in the front rank of industrial war production.

The more permanent feature coming into the war jOb of West Coast lumber is the diversity of industrial items now requiring wood. The industry is still furnishing construction lumber in large volume for building of all types. The West Coast is being called on increasingly for airplane lumber-f)ouglas fir, West Coast hemlock, Noble fir and Port Orford cedar, as well as Sitka spruce. More and more boat lumber is wanted, and the Army has announced that275,ffi tons of steel will be saved by making truck bodies of wood. Other important similar spotlight wood as a universal war material.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended Joly 4, 91 mills reporting, gave orders as 80,3t9,000 feet, shipments 76,n/W feet, and production 74,560,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 465,782,W f.eet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended July 4, 96mills reporting, gave orders as26,66l,NO feet, shipments 26,848,W feet, and production 23,493,W Leet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 144.753.000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's ended June 27 reported orders as 157,509,000 feet, and .production

Association for the week 142,446W feet, shipments 130,754,000 feet.

The California Redwood Association reported production of eleven operations for the month of May as 37,397,000 feet, shipments 41,2O5,W0 feet, and orders received 39,445,W feet. Orders on hand at the end of the month totaled 64,152,0ffi feet.

Egtimatcd Wood Box Needs for Ordnancs Reach New High

Requirements of lumber for wood boxes for ordnance field service equipment will exceed four billion board feet this year, according to a War Department estimate. This is the highest estimate yet of lumber needs for ordnance alone. It is figured that 75,000,000 pounds of nails will be needed to make the boxes and 1,500,000,000 feet of steel bands and wire will be used to brace them.

This is in spite of the fact that the Service of Supply has devised many ways to reduce bulk in packaging the thousands of items that must be shipped overseas. An overall saving in cargo space approximating 1O per cent is predicted, while space saving in individual items runs as high as 60 per cent. This saving is tantamount to additional ships in the life line.

For instance, clothing, formerly packed in fibre and wood cases, is now compression baled, saving 35 per cent of the space. Shovels, formerly shipped in wood crates, are now strapped together with wire. Space saved: 2O per cent. Field range stoves, formerly shipped in double crates, are now shipped in single crates, saving 7 per cent of the space. Six garbage cans, formerly shipped in individual crates, are no\M nested in a single, lighter crate taking 40 per cent of the space. Machine guns are packed two to a box instead of singly, thus saving 35 per cent of space.

The Office of the Chief of Ordnance has been conducting a training course at the Forest Products Laboratory to instruct chief inspectors and inspectors in the new methods. A manual gives the most detailed instructions to private manufacturers on packing miscellaneous items, telling them the types of box, nails, and wire found best, construc' tion details. and so on.

Arthur Griswold Goet to Louisiana

Arthur B. Griswold, manager of the San Francisco office of the C. D. Johnson Lur.nber Comporation, recently resigned his position and has left for Louisiana, where he will make his home at Lewisburs, on Lake Pontchartrain.

He was 19 years with this concern, and is widely known throughout California. He has not announced his plans for the future, but says that when the lumber business gets back to normal he will probably represent the C. D. Johnson Lumber Corporation in the Southwest.

A. R. (Bob) McCullough, who has been with the firm for the past several years as salesman out of the San Francisco office, will succeed Mr. Griswold as manager.

THE CALIF"ORNIA

LUMBER MERCHANT

was twenty years old this month. The first issue was July first, 1922. Twenty years. All values, of course, are relative. Twenty years in the life of a Redwood tree is nothing. But twenty years in the lifetime of a publication is quite a spell, and covers a plenitude of human and industrial events.

r{ere's how it n nn"rr"a*. :L. porter invited me to speak to the annual convention of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, which was held that time in Fresno. A goodly crowd was there. They made an awful hit with me. Never saw a liver, more enthusiastic, more friendln more progressive bunch of men anywhere, in any industry.

***

California had no lumber journal. Long before that time Guy Buell published a lumber magazine in San Francisco, but Buell and his paper were both gone. And one of the livest lumber territories on earthand one just getting ready for a great building boom-had no lumber magazine nearer than Portland, and no retail lumber magazine nearer than Kansas City and Houston. It looked like a spot. ***

I began asking-"What do you folks think of a live merchandising lumber journal here in California?,,-and boy, what a comeback I got from everyone I talked to. I put it up to a lot of the leaders, and their enthusiasm did the trick. In the words of Red Skeltonwho had scarcely been born at that time-I said, "I dood it !"

I talked to all classes of building material folks all over' California, Fir, Pine, Redwood, manufacturers, wholesalers of all sorts and sizes, millwork and shingle folks, and they all thought this an ideal spot for a lumber journal., So the thing happened in a hurry. We opened offices for publication in the old Fay Building in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles vyas just entering its great building boom. I flatter myself that I saw it coming. We got started with the tide. The next thing we knew the whole world was rushing in trying to sell building materials in the booming city of Los Angeles, and territory. The Merchant was

caught by the high tide. In a year's time it was one of the biggest lumber journals in the entire country. There. was a great element of luck in that, of course. California quickly filled up with building material distributors, and they tiked to advertise. We let'em.

The first issue of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT contained 52 pages, of which 20 pages were paid advertisements. There were 33 advertisers. Of that number, 18 are no longer in business, while others stitl exist in changed form. Of the advertisers that appeared in that first issue there are ten who still advertise with us, and there are two, both San Franciscans, who have been in our advertising columns continuously from that day to this; the Santa Fe Lumber Company, and WendlingNathan Company.

rF**

Our first managing editor was a grand guy, Shad Krantz, an old Portland newspaper man who went to Seattle as advertising manager for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and then came to California with me. He lived less than a year after reaching California. Ed Martin took the San Farncisco territory. Curtis Merryman handled the advertising. That was the gang that started the journal.

ft was a cinch to meet th" t"-O* folks of California face to face in those days, so thoroughly was the State, and each department of the industry, organized. There was a Northern retail association, and one in the Soutfi, and there were retail associations and clubs covering each separate district of the State, all of which met frequently. The California White & Sugar Pine Association was still in existence with offices in San Francisco and C. Stowell Smith as secretary, and the California Redwood Association was run by Dick Hammatt. There was a wholesale association in San Francisco. There was a pacific Coast hardwood distributors' association, and local associations in Los Angeles and San Francisco. A visitor going the rounds could attend lumber meetings almost every day in the year. tt*{.

And then there was Hoo-Hoo. I shall never forget the

splendid organization work Hoo-Hoo did in California in those days. The State was divided into Hoo-Hoo groups' and they were not only very active, but their work was attractive and interesting, and without the horseplay that killed the order in most of the country. For instance, nothing I ever attended in my life impressed me more with its dignity and usefulness than Hoo-Hoo meetings in the city of San Diego. Every officer knew his part of the ritual by heart, and recited it like a Shakespearean professional. They were swell meetings, and there were plenty of others I attended in other California cities that made me take off my hat. Surely Hoo-Hoo was the playground of the lumber industry in California in those days, and served the industry well. The biggest and best lumbermen in each district took active part in the Hoo-Hoo clubs and work. Charlie LeMaster was Supreme Arcanoper the year The Merchant started. Dick Hiscox and Frank Trower, of San Francisco, were wheelhorses in the order, and their names were names to conjure with. A Hoo-Hoo meeting of two hundred men was nothing unusual in San Francisco, Los Angeles or Oakland in those days. There were swell programs, and fine fellowship. I am sure that Hoo-Hoo found its highest level, at that time in California.

There were scores of big, grand men in the lumber industry in California in those days. I am tempted to start naming them, but my memory couldn't possibly cover the territory. Parso)r Peter A. Simpkin lived in California then, and entertained and enthused the lumbermen with his eloquence. When will there be another like him? I still remember H. P. Dixon of Los Angeles, when he was president of the Millwork Institute, as the cleverest chairman of a lumber or building convention I ever saw in action. There were a lot of keen minds and stout and lingering personalities in that Millwork Institute. Most of them I have in mind are long since gone the way of all fesh. Also in 1922 the State of California tried to outlaw wooden shingle roofs and the lurnber industry organized on a state-wide basis with Gus Russell of San Francisco, as chairman, and in the Novernber elections they voted down that threat. Peter B. Kyne, then in the zenith of his writing career, made speeches for shingles, as did many others of note.

*{.*

An interesting gentleman named. Henry Riddiford was secretary of the Los Angeles Lumbermen's Exchange at that time, and handed out lumber statistics for Southern California territory. Fred Conner was a popular retail lumberman in Sacramento, and his wife was beginning her career as a lumber poetess. She wrote for the first issue of The Merchant, and saluted it again the other day on its

20th birthday. San Francisco was fillei with powerful lumber characters of the old school. A. B. Hammond, Jim Tyson, C. R. Johnson, peter McNevin, Robert Doflar, and others, were the type of men who, once known, are never forgotten. There was a big sawmill at Los Angeles harbor and another at San Diego cutting up logs rafted down from the Northwest. The Hammond yard at Los Angeles was one of the wonders of the world for size, capacity, and efficiency, and lumber visitors from everywhere went out to see it operated. Harry Mcleod was running it then as he does now. The philippine Mahogany business was just beginning to loom up in size and importance. The month The Merchant started business 92 million feet of Fir lumber was unloaded from boats in Los Angeles harbor. That was a record at that time.

More recoltections-p"la"i "lU Davies were just starting in a big way; Jack Ferger, J. G. Martin, and Dean Prescott were the strong men of the Fresno district, and powerful characters. They made me a member of the San Joaquin Valley Lumbermen's Club at that time. Andrew F. Mahoney of San Francisco, was one of the big factors in the coastwise lumber shipping trade. The LongBeIl Lumber Company was starting construction of its huge Longview mill in Washington at that time. Dave Woodhead was building up a string of big lumber yards in Los Angeles, and was head of the Hoo-Hoo club there. H. F. Brey of Porterville, was called the ,,grand old man,, of the California retail lumber industry. Walter C. Ball had just joined John S. Reed as sales manager for Hanify. Chas. R. McCormick & Company was doing a whale of a business then.

Among the unforgettabls .t *. California lumber industry then, f must mention George X. Wendling, organizer of the Wendling-Nathan Company. What a swell guy he was to spand an hour with. He had color and fire to the day of his death. ..Duke" Euphrat and Roy Hills were the young lumber gang in those days. Another ord timer who became a great friend of mine was Hiram Smith of san Francisco, who originally organized The pacific Lumber Company. What a coffee drinker he was. And what a grand old man. Harry Lake was just coming into outstanding leadership among the retail lumbermen of Southern California. Chas. S. Keith of Kansas City, was then finishing construction of a big trir mill at Veronia, Oregon. Dolbeer & Carson were building their new Redwood mill at Eureka'

)B :r *

As you look around, and backward over twenty years, the strange thing is that you are more impressed with the gang that is still here than with those who are gone. Lum-

bermen are hardy. A gang meeting in Los Angeles or San tr'rancisco today shows a tremendous number of the same faces that were attending lumber meetings twenty years ago. For instance, there was a Hoo_Hoo Concat in San Francisco the summer oL 1922, and among those present and officiating were Eddie peggs,.Walter Kelly, I{omer Maris, Howard Gunton, Henry Hink, Jerry Bonnington, Al Kelley, Lewie Godard, Harry Vincent, Jim Farley, Frank O'Connor, Larue Woodson, Bert Bryan, Bob Grant, H. Sewall Morton, C. C. Stibich, Ed Martin, Bob Caldwell and Floyd Elliott. They're still on the job. At a Los Angeles meeting today you would likely find Roy Stanton, Bob Osgood, Fred Golding, Dee Esslen Stuart Smith, W. B. Wickersham, Earl Galbraith, Bob Byrne, Andy Donovan, W. P. Frambes, Lee Weaver, Mel Coe, Gene DeArmond, Percy Youst, Nat parsons, Bert McKee, Don Philips, Frank Connolly, paut Hallingby, Gus Hoover, Clint Laughlin, and others, just as you would have twenty

Sylvester'Weaver was just getting started in the asphalt roofing business in a big way in Southern California. I called on him and suggested advertising. He said, ..Sure, I'll take your two-page center spread every issue.,' I almost fainted. I{e was like that. Frank Curran carried lots of weight in the retail business in Los Angeles. Charlie Bird was going strong long before that in Stockton. Billy Dean was running the big string of Diamond Match yards. \V. E. Cooper had just come from Wisconsin and opened a big wholesale lumber yard in Los Angeles. A. p. McCullough was.doing a whale of a wholesale business in San Francisco, with Bookstaver running his Los Angeles business. The Coos Bay Lumber Company, San Francisco, was operating the biggest single unit sawmill ever built. ,Walter Scrim and Roy Barto were both running sawmills in the Philippine Islands. Right after the CLM started C. \Il/. Pinkerton helped organize and became first president of the new California Retail Lumbermen's Association; Earl Carlson had been selling lumber in the Valleys for Santa Fe Lumber Company for lZ years. That makes 32 he's been with them now. Just a n-ewcomer. And so on, indefinitely. It would take a book to recall the things that come to mind about that first few months The Merchant was in business. Roy Stanton was the worst lumber golfer in the state. "Cappy" Slade was probably the best. Some day I'm going to write a book about that first lumber gang I met in California, and the things they said and did.

THE cALTFoRNTA L,i"ir* MERcHANT completed its twentieth year of life under rather lean circurnstances. Business has been lousy since 1929, continuously. But wasn't itgr;d before that ! And won,t it be grand again some of these days !

Lumber Freeze Order Extended and Amended

Washington, D. C., July 10, -I942-A revision of the Softwood tonitruction Lumber freeze order, extending its operatiott until August 13 19 provide s-ufficient time for de"'"topt"."t of a sysfem of distribution based on the relative esseirtiality of lumber for war purPoses was announced todav bv the War Production Board.

- thJ orisinal order (L-121) would have expired on July 13. The iivised order'thus extends the "freeze" for thirty days, during which time the WPB Lumber and Lumber Fi',ra".t. Bianch expects to complete an over-all study of the softwood lumbei supply-demand situation'

- it*"t emphasized by-Arthur T. Upson, Chief of the Branch that because of requirements of the war program, the shortage of manv tvpes of construction lumber has become more sertous sincL'the issuance of L-l2l on May 13'

The order announced today releases additional grades and soecies of softwood lumber not being purchased by militaiy agencies of the Government in suffici"nt quantities to *arianf continued restriction on their distribution' Several grades were released by a previous amendment to L-12r.

- Th" order also makes changes calculated to aid small sawmills and local distributors. In addition to deliveries for the Army, Navy, Maritime Commission and for certain *iliturv construction projects, the revised order:

-_ i. Fermits producers -to sell and deliver construction lumber for the-repair and maintenance of railway rolling stock.

2. Permits sawmills which normally engage in local ,"t"ilitte because their communities are not otherwise r"r".d By a regular retail yard -to resume sale at retail to ihe local-lumbJr trade. The original lreeze provision prevented some communities from obtaining even small supplies of construction lumber despite the existence of a local sawmill.

-- A further relaxation, which will make some amounts of lumber available for war housing and other purposes' was made bv re-defining the term "small producer". Mills sawine lesithan 5,000Teet of softwood per day are now exempt fr&n the restrictions of the order. The previous regulations exemoted only those mills sawing less than 5,000 feet of both ioftwood and hardwood per day.

Mr. Upson pointed out thaf the order does not permit reolacemlnt oi retailer or distributor inventories. Purchases for replacement purposes can be -mad-e only under a soecific authorization by the Director of Industry Operatioris. Consideration of requests for such authorizations will be given only in cases where inventories have been deoleted-bv sales ior uses specified by the order.

Mr. Upiott took occasion to warn the public and industrial usei again that construction lumber is a scarce commoditv. Tf,e demands of the armed forces are large and rapidlv increasing, he said, and requirements for boxing and ciating of munitions will soon be vasJlY expanded. "Wood hai been substituted for many articles formerly made of metal and other materials," he continued. "An unprecedented drain has been placed on the present produitive capacity of the industry. This amended order will continue tb diiect the flow of the types and qualities of lumber which are essential for war purposes until a permanent system of distribution is worked out. I{owever, there wili remain available adequate amounts of lumber of the types and qualities needed for war housing, farm uses. gen6ral maintenance and repair, although the lumber avaiiaEle may not be exactly the kind that users like or have bought in the Past."

Nothing to Get Excited About

He was one of these wild-eyed baseball fans who nearly busted a button every time things got hot on the diamond, and he was trying to explain the game to the good looking gal who was seeing her 6rst big league game, and was far from being wildly excited about it. In fact, she was quite blase about the whole business, much to his disgust. His most strenuous efforts failed to arouse in her any of the enthusiasm he felt about what was going on in front of them.

CALLED INTO ACTIVE SERVICE

Eric Hexberg, Anglo California Lumber Company, and Don Gow, Hammond Redwood Company, Los Angeles, have been called into active service with the Army Air Corps and are stationed at Santa Ana. They are occupying the same tent at camp.

Finally along toward the end of the game, and with the score tied, the home team got three men on base with no one out; and now the guy with the gal could hardly stand the excitement. He waved his hat, and screamed:

"Yowie! Look honey! For God's sake wake up and holler! Aren't you excited? Why, kid, we've got a man on every base!"

She looked definitely bored.

"Well, what the Hell !" she said. "So have they !"

Wood Hitching Posts for \(/heeled Steeds

With the bicycle, relegated during recent years to comparative obscurity as a toy, enjoying a re-incarnation as a major medium of transportation, a new parking problem arises. How shall we keep our faithful, rubber-tired, old "dobbin" sheltered from damage and weather, safe from "rustlers," until we are ready to mount the saddle and pedal off acrdss the range again?

Ernest Stevens, Washington, D. C., architect, offers a timely answer with eleven designs of wood bicycle racks ranging from the ultra-simple to the elaborate, which have been approved by the Cycle Trades of America, 122 East 42nd Street, New York City.

"It is estimated that there are around 11,000,000 bicycles in use in the United States," says Henry Meloney, secretary of the Cycle Trades of America. "That's about the same number as there were motor cars in 1923, and about one to every three cars in 1941, or one to every 13 persons.

"The frame of a bicycle will last about 20 years; the wheels, four to five years, and the tires are good for 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It needs little attention but, as it is not licensed like an auto, it cannot be left unattended. It requires a lock and a rack. Racks are badly needed at all such points as railroad stations, shopping centers, defense plants, or wherever people gather for war work or recreation. Racks can most economically and efficiently be built of wood, a non-critical material."

Incidentally, bicycle manufacturers are now experimenting with wood as a basic material for building the bicycles, themselves, and are turning to wood for handgrips and pedals.

The 20th annual convention of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association was held at Hotel Del Monte, Del Monte, Calif., on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 25, 26 and 27.

The attendance was the largest since 1924, and the convention was a success from every point of view.

A. E. Wanke, Wanke Panel Co., Portland, was elected

with some observations on problems of the industry brought about by the war.

John McClure, secretary-treasurer of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, Chicago, addressed the convention on the subject of "The Relation of the Hardrvood Industry to the War Effort." He told of the new uses being found for hardwoods in replacing metals, giving as an in-

president. Charles M. Cooper, W. E. Cooper Lumber Co., Los Angeles, was elected vice-president, and Dallas Donnan, Ehrlich-Harrison Co., Seattle, was elected secretary and treasurer.

At the first business session, held on Friday morning, President P. R. (Bob), Kahn rvelcomed the members and guests in a brief talk.

Secretary Fred B. Smales, United States plywood Corp., San Francisco, presented the report of the secretary and treasurer, following which sectional reports were given by the following: Norman Sawers, Vancouver, B. C. ; J. E. Higgins, Jr., San Francisco; Frank J. Connolly, Los Angeles; Dallas Donnan, Seattle, and Robert Sullivan. San Diego.

C. H. White, White Brothers, San Francisco, in a characteristic address outlined the growth of the Association from its first meetin g in 1924 at Del Monte, and concluded

stance the use of hardwoods in Army trucks. He also spoke on the extent to which the influence of the laboratory on the lumber business will be felt after the war, and predicted that "The Pacific Coast will be the front door of the United States at the end of the war."

The following took part in the general discussion that followed the addresses : J. E. Higgins, Jr., San Francisco; C. H. White, San Francisco; LeRoy Stanton, Los Angeles; Milton Taenzer, Los Angeles; Frank J. Connolly, Los Angeles, and W. E. Difford, Tacoma.

J. E. (Ted) Higgins, Jr., was toastmaster at the annual banquet of the Association, held in the Copper Cup Room on Friday evening. The entertainment included Edwin Imhaus, tenor; Fred Klein, baritone; Jud Weiler, accompanist, and movies of the 1941 Convention at Santa Barbara.

Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association,'San Francisco, addressed the convention on "Tomorrow, or Do You See What You Are Looking At?"

Both of these addresses were warmly applauded.

A resolution was adopted affirming the Association's desire to cooperate to the fullest extent in the winning of the war by bringing to the Government the experience, knowledge and resources of the hardwood industry of the Pacific Coast, through cooperation with the National Wholesale Lumber Yard Distributors Association.

THE SUN WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE

By Thomas Dreier

When you are inclined to be pessimistic about the future, brighten up your mind with a few fundamentals. First of all, there will be millions of people who will need things. We'll have in this country the greatest productive machine ever devised. lVe'll have skilled workmen, plenty of raw materials, ships to deliver goods and to bring back whatever we need. But we'll have to accept changes. The old system which showed its weakness during the terrible years of unemployment needs changing. But there is nothing sacred about anything just because it is old. Only that is sacred which serves. New commercial practices, new management, new ideas will take the place of old ones that didn't work so well. Men with flexible minds will find a new world with great opportunities ready to be grasped. The sun will continue to shine in the future.

BRYAN ON MARRIAGE

When William Jennings Bryan asked for the hand of the daughter of John Baird, he quoted the following from Proverbs:

WHITE MAGIC

The university professor in the South who was much interested in a scheduled eclipse of the sun, thought to have some fun with the colored janitor, so he told him, the day before the eclipse, that if he would watch his hencoop the next morning about eleven o'clock he would see all his chickens go to roost. And of course it happened just that way. The darky came wondering to the professor, and asked him:

"Professuh, Suh, how long ergo did youall lcrow dem chickings wuz gwine to roost dis mawnin' at eleven o'clock?"

"Oh, many years ago," said the professor.

Mose scratched his head most thoughtfully.

"Man alive, dese white folks sho is smaht. He knowed hit yeahs an'yeahs befo' dem chickings wuz even bawned.,'

THE CHEERY SMILE

"Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord."

Baird, who was also a Bible

There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile, It always has the same s never out of style. ft nerves us on to try again failure makes us blue, The dimples of t are good for me and you.

Transferred to San Francisco Ollice Military Heads Concerned \(ith Forest

Leslie K. Andrews, a member of the American Lumber and Treating Company's New York office, has been transferred to the organization's San Francisco staff. The assignment was effective July 1.

A forestry graduate oi North Carolina and Duke universities, Mr. Andrews previously worked in the wood-preserving company's operating and technical departments before joining the sales force.

His research work to set up new wood fireproofing standards, which lvas presented at the 1942 American Wood-Preservers'Association convention, has played an important part in bringing fireproofing of lumber out of the laboratory and into commercial practice.

lncreases Lumber Production

The Red River Lumber Company has increased production by the resumption of operation of its mill at Susanville, California. One band and one resaw have a capacity of l2O thousand feet daily, and a planing mill has been installed.

Fred Lloyd is superintendent, Knute Lothe, mill foreman, and John Berglund, lumber inspector and outside foreman, all from the company's operation at Westwood, California.

REVEILLE GETS NATIONAL PUBLICITY

East Bay Hoo-Hoo Club's 10th annual Reveille got considerable publicity in the Bulletin of Hoo-Hoo for June, and the general activities of the Club for the past year were given in some detail. The announcement written by Thos. T. Branson for the Reveille program was reproduced in full on the outside front cover of the Bulletin.

Fare Dangers

San Francisco, July 2-The Western Defense Command has instructed the U. S. Forest Service that "No campfires will be permitted after dark unless they may be extinguished immediately upon receipt of an air raid warning."

Lt. General John L. DeWitt's orders prohibit campfires at night except where provision is made for immediate receipt of air raid warning signals. Since most camping and picnicking areas in the "great outdoors" are not equipped with air raid warning facilities the order prohibits campfires after dark in virtually all outing regions.

Acting on instructions from the Western Defense Command, Regional Forester S. B. Show announced today that campers and other vacationists in mountain areas are expected to comply fully with Lt. General DeWitt's regulation on campfires and that his orders will be rigidly enforced.

The Forest Service also emphasized the public responsibility of adhering to State Fire Marshall Lydell Peck's recent order prohibiting the display of fireworks for the duration of the emergency. According to experienced foresters the illegal use of firecrackers has been one of the greatest sources of fire danger to forests and fields during Fourth of July vacation periods in the past.

A number of emergency closures limiting public use of highly inflammable and strategic forest areas now are in force as a miiltary necessity. Regional Forester Show added.

He urged all national forest visitors to inquire of forest rangers and supervisors regarding the location of any local closures.

"Every citizen," declared Regional Forester Show, "is urged to take part in the campaign against unintentional forest fire sabotage by exercising the greatest possible precautions with smoking tobacco, matches and campfires. Put them dead out."

Foundations Suggest Way to Have Fun at Home While Saving Rubber

'3egin with a bench," says Northern and Southern California Homes Foundation, in suggesting practical ways for father and the family to use leisure time at home, in home improvements and to have fun doing it. Peacetime pleasure driving in the family automobile is now a thing of the past, the Foundation points out, and thire is a nation-wide revival of home amusements and occupations which were common in pre-motor America.

"Ifome carpentry was at the top of that list," says Bernard B. Barber and Orrie W. Hamilton, Foundation Chairmen. f'In the gay nineties, there were few family heads who did not boast at least a modest set of carpenter's tools and bench. Many of us who grew up in that tradition have carried it on, using power woodworking tools.

"You can begin with a bench, needing only hammer, saw, nails, chisel, plane and a square or ruler for tools. Your local retail lumber dealer will gladly supply you with simple instructions, even with a pattern or design for the workbench. Or he will cut the parts for you in his shop. You will soon find it simple to produce such useful items as built-in telephone tables, bookcases, garden furniture, and related home improvements.

t'Your government wants you to 'change from. road work to home work.' The whole family can have fun at home, making useful things from wood."

SAN FRANCISCO MILL BUSY

The plant of the Eureka Sash Door & Moulding Mills, San Francisco, has been busy for some time on manufacturirlg and supplying millwork for defense housing. Two of the most recent jobs are millwork for defense homes at Benicia, Calif., being erected by the Schultz Construction Co., Benicia, and another group of similar homes at Concord, Calif.

R. A. Fobes Passes On M.y Apply Directly to OPA for Adiust-

Royal.A. (Roy) Fobes, manager of the I-os Angeles branch of the Pacific Mutual Door Company, passed away at his home in Hollywood, July 12, following a heart attack. He was sixty-five years of age.

Mr. Fobes had been connected with the lumber business in l-os Angeles for many years and was widely known in the Pacific Coast lumber trade. Born in Nelson, Ohio, he received his early education in that state and attended Oberlin College at Oberlin, Ohio.

He operated a sawmill at Batson Prairie, Texas, in 1904, and was with the Industrial Lumber Company at Oakdale, La., from 1905 until 1908. He came to Los Angeles in 1909 and was a wholesale salesman with the Hammond Lumber Company for several years. After two years as sales representative for the Little River Redwood Co., he became manager of the Los Angeles office for Sudden & Christenson and remained with them for about nine years. He operated as a lumber commission salesman for several years, and then took over the management of the Pacific Mutual Door Company's Los Angeles warehouse and office, which position he held until his death.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Alice G. Fobes; a son' Francis S. Fobes, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Belle Bessonette. Funeral services were held at Los Angeles, Tuesday afternoon, luly 14, and were attended by a large number of lumbermen.

F. L. Baird

Floyd Leslie Baird, pioneer Redwood City mill owner and retail lumberman, passed away on June 2l in Palo Alto Hospital after a long illness. He was 72 years of age, and had been a resident of Redwood City for thirty-eight years where he operated the F. L. Baird Lumber Company. He was a native of Michigan.

mcnts in Ceiling Pricas

Washington, Jnly 9-The Office of Price Administration today established machinery for merchants and manufactureis to apply directly to OPA for adjustments in the ceiling prices.

OPA officials said the. new order will apply only to hardship cases which can be handled without causing an increase in the general level of prices. It allows revisions to be made for individual applicants by regional OPA ofcials under special circumstances.

Previously, the general maximum price regulation permitted retailers only to apply for adjustment of out-of-line prices. Wholesalers and manufacturers had to petition for an amendment to the regulation.

The order is effective Tuesday.

New Rules on Truck Hauls

Los Angeles, July lo-Truckmen who haul material from city to city were given a new set of rules today whereby "dispatchers" offices to assure full loads on return trips may be set up under government guidance.

Such offices would aid truckers in obtaining full use of their trucks and rubber under recent rules of the office of defense transportation,

Roy Long, director of the Los Angeles ODT office, yesterday disclosed that truckers on over the road hauls had proposed such a plan about a month ago and were working out the details.

"It is estimated that about 15 such dispatchers offices will be set up in the 13 Southern California counties to act as information centers to truckers seeking full loads on return trips," said Mr. Long.

FIRE DESTROYS MILL

It is hoped that the introduction of this rule will be effective in reducing unnecessary delays in the beginning of construction of war housing. It is not the intent to work any undue hardship on mortgagees or mortgagors where delays are unavoidable.

WesternPineAssociation lssues New Edition of Standard Grading Rules

Portland, Oregon, Jane ZG-The Western Pine Association is now distributing a new edition of its Standard Grading Rules for Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, Idaho White Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Larch-Douglas Fir, White Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Incense Cedar and Red Cedar lumber. The latest edition, just off the press, is efiective as of July l, t942, and supersedes all previous issues.

This edition contains all changes approved by the Association's Grading Committee since April, 1939. With the exception of Paragraph 330 providing an alternative method of grading Douglas Fir common boards, dimension and timbers in the Western Pine region on the basis of West Coast rules, the changes are largely minor revisions and corrections.

The 1942 grading rules are published in the same convenient pocket size as heretofore. Copies may be had at 15 cents each, from the.Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon. Quantity lots are of' fered at reduced prices, depending on the quantity wanted.

\T"yerhaeuser Helps Lumber Deafers Solve Crop Storage Probfem

Lumber dealers in various sections of the country are playing an important part in the solution of the grain storage problem which has received nation-wide attention. The seriousness of the shortage is revealed in the ofier of the Commodity Credit Corporation to purchase 300,000 grain bins and this covers but a small part of the requirements needed to store the 1942 crop.

An interesting and significant development in this con-

rection of the dealer, or his yard foreman, large numbers of portable structures to serve this war-time need have been prefabricated in the lumber yard where the dealer's power equipment and his knowledge of suitable substitutes could be put to good use. One retail company in the Middle West constructed approximately 800 buildings in this manner in its yards in two states. Total sales amounted to more than $70,000 in a ninety-day period. A single yard in the same area is now constructing' more than 150 grain bins which sell for $235.00 each as rapidly as they can be turned out.

Most of such construction work has been done in the traditional manner but jigs and patterns are now being introduced into lumber yards to speed up production and eliminate waste of time and materials. With jigs each piece can be precision cut. All chance of error is eliminated. Sections are nailed together quickly and accurately for rapid assembly on the farm.

nection is the added impetus that has been given fabrication, in the lumber yard, of portable farm structures or building sections which can readily be assembled on the farm. A recent survey shows that fully 5O% of. lumber dealers are now doing fabrication of some kind in their yards.

The trend in this direction has been accelerated, too, by the shortage of carpenters in many areas as well as the scarcity of certain building materials. Farmers need many service buildings badly in order to carry out the Government's program of increased production. Under the di-

Latest innovation in connection with the pronounced trend to lumber yard fabrication is the Victory Prefabricated Storage Bin, a Weyerhaeuser engineered structure which is now being made in lumber yards in several midwestern states. To expand further the lumber dealer,s opportunity for service and to make it possible to turn out crop storage bins better and faster, General Timber Service, Inc., developed the Victory Bin for Weyerhaeuser Sales

The bin cqn be qssembled orrt mqd" recdy lor uee by three men in lour hourg or less.

Wcrll, rool qnd floor sections ol the Victory Pre-Icbriccrted Crop Stortrge Bin cre mcde up on jigr in the lumber ycrd lor quicL asaembly

Cgmpany and designed the necessary jigs and patterns which made it possible for dealers to fabricate the wall, roof and floor sections in their lumber yards with such accuracy that the l2-sided structure can be assembled on the farm by three men in three or four hours. By this means it is also possible for the dealer to use stock items in standard sizes and g'rades, without waste, and to make maximum use of local labor, or his regular crew, to build up a stock of fabricated sections for assembly when needed. It is claimed for the bin that it is grain tight, water tight, snow tight, wind resistant, heat resistant, strong, durable and as permanent as any other well-constructed building on the farm.

The Victory Bin holds 110o bushels and the sidewall height is eight feet. Wall sections consist of outside vertical boards and inside horizontal boards, glued and nailed to form 2-ply panels. The floor is made in the same manner and the roof is covered on the job with roll roofing over Ginch roof boards. An attractive ventilator protects the contents from rain and snow.

While the Victory Prefabricated Crop Storage Bin is the latest addition to the Weyerhaeuser line, many other grain storage structures are included in the 4-SQUARE Farm Service. These plans and specifications have been made available nationally but the distribution of the Victory Bin has been confined principally to the wheat belt for the time being owing to the difficulty of obtaining sufficient quantities of jigs and patterns. It is expected that the distribution will be expanded greatly during the coming year and that more and more lumber yards will be in a position to fabricate the bins.

It is understood that General Timber Service, Inc., has several other products under development which can be fabricated by lumber dealers and that the .Weyerhaeuser program calls for extended research work in this direction.

Again Heads L. A. Housing Authority

Nicola Giulii, chairman of the Los Angeles Housing Authority, since his appointment in June, 1938, has been re-elected chairman, and Ralph A. McMullen was re-elected vice-chairman at the fourth annual meeting of the commission. Other members of the commission are J. E. Fishburn, Jr., Mrs. Jessie L. Terry and Maurice Saeta. Including the original construction program, the Authority will have ,completed before the end of the year dwelling accommodations for 33,000 war workers.

OPA Amends Price Schedule 26

Washington, July 9.Amendments to the maximum price schedules for West Coast lumber rvere issued by Leon Henderson. Price Administrator.

The lumber maximum price regulation was amended to provide two additional specifications. An addition of $2 per 1000 board feet for dimension lumber where the buyer requires that the lumber meet the bending stress requirements is permitted, It also provides an additional $5 per 1000 board feet on Douglas fir and other lumber where the buyer specifies that the lumber meet the density requirements for dense materials.

War Committee Asks Army and Navy to Correlate Lumber Purchasing Activities

In a letter to General E. B. Gregory, Quartermaster General, Dr. Wilson Compton, Executive Offrcer, Lumber & Timber Products War Committee, made a complete review of the current situation of the industry, and called on the Army to correlate the competition between the services for deliveries of the same lumber products, and co-ordinate its specifications with its purchasing efforts. A similar communication was sent to the Navy.

June 22, 1942.

Dear General Gregory:

f have been looking at some of the estimated future requirements of the Quartermaster General for lumber and timber products. You have ahead of you more trucks, beds, bunks, boxes, containers, bo'ats, poles, tanks, stretchers, shelving, furniture. These mean more lumber, more lumber and different lumber than is being produced. Also, the Navy requires a great deal of the kind of lumber the Army wants.

For some time we have been urging a further coordination of Army lumber specifications, a further unification of Army lumber buying and at least a better correlation of the competition between the Army and the Navy for the same products of the same mills for deliveries at the same time. Your office for some time has had in contemplation certain steps in these directions. But, except in a few cases of urgent procurement, there has been no action, at least no visible action.

' I know nothing about the Army's needs for lumber except what the Army says. But I do know the lumber industry, what it is doing and what it can do. Can you not assign someone to explore the facts and suggestions in the enclosure for their bearing on all prospective Quartermaster's requirements of lumber and timber products, and not piece-meal as at present. If this is a "battle of smokestacks" we urge you to act now so that these industries which operate the smokestacks in the lumber industry may act now too.

Yours sincerely, WILSON COMPTON, Executive Officer, Lumber and Timber Products 'War Committee.

1. War Production Board Estimate of 1942lumber requirements for war, defense and what they classify as "essential civilian" purposesc is 38.7 billion feet. National consumption in 1941 was about 34 billion feet; production about 33 billion.

2. National lumber production in 1942 so far is 3/o less than 1941. Currently it is running about 4/o over 1941; lumber stocks arc l8/o less than a year ago and. l4/o less than the first of this year. Lumber consumption in 1941 was 9/o greater than 194O. In 1942 shipments have been 6/o greater and new business lo/o greater than in 1941.

3. Log production on the West Coast during the early part of. 1942 is reported "off" about 10/o because of labor diversion. Important western pine planing mills are reported closing for lack of skilled labor. 'Southern pine logging, dependent over 80/o on rubber tires, is beginning to lose log hauling contractors. Many southern operations are already partially closed because of inadequate labor.

4. Loss of labor through "pirating," especially in the South Atlantic and Pacific Coast regions, by continuing diversion to other war industries in which draft deferment is indicated; also, of course, by draft.

5. Many individual mills with cooperation of employees are now increasing production by overtime work. This partially compensates the enforced reduction in production elsewhere.

6. All principal species of lumber are now covered by price ceiling schedules; all others are covered by general Price Regulation Order No. 1.

7. In the South in 1940, the latest year for which comparable information is available, nearly 3A/o of. the lumber was produced by mills cutting less than 10,000 feet a day and more than @7o was produced by mills cutting not ovet n,W feet a day. In the West the same year 9/o was pro' duced by mills cutting less than 20,000 feet daily. General Effects of W.P.B. Limitation Order L-121

1. About 15,000 sawmills apparently are operating.

2. With almost no exception the larger mills have continued production; many have increased production under freezing order. Apparently also hundreds of smaller mills which have no Army or Navy orders, are customarily financed by wholesalers and distribute their products through wholesalers, have shut down.

3. "Freezing" present stocks and future production of small mills, which have no Army or Navy orders and no practical means of securing them, apparently encourag'es shut-downs. The resulting reduction of national production of course adds to the aggregate difficulties in the long run if not in the short run.

Army and Navy Lumber Needs

1. Apparently Army and Navy need some grades of some species of both softwoods and hardwoods, but not all grades of any species and not any grade of some species.

2. Apparently Army for administrative reasons can buy lumber only from larger mills and from concentration yards which have the facilities for participating in auctions and in negotiated contracts. Apparently for practical administrative reasons the Army cannot deal with thousands of small sawmills.

3. Meantime hundreds of mills daily are sawing logs into sizes and items which are not much needed by the war agencies. With few exceptions the length, width and thickness of lumber which, after seasoning, will be available for use, are determined when the log goes through the sawmill. The most needed sizes should be known at that time. Otherwise most mills will continue to cut the standard commercial assortments which are known to be ordinarilv salable.

4. Ratio of lumber stocks to consumption is the lowest in over fifteen years of record, Softwood stocks today are less than 4 billion feet, less than half the stocks of fourteen years ago, the most recent period of comparable national lumber consumption. Hardwood stocks by the same measure, are only 4O/o.

5. War procurement of lumber must be based primarily on the future production, not on existing stocks. To maximum extent possible logs should be sawn into thicknesses, lengths and widths of lumber most needed for war purposes.

6. The only practical way to do this is to enable all the sawmills to know in advance what sizes are most urgently required; and in the case especially of the smaller mills to

contract in advance for the output of the desired items, sizes and gtades and species.

Specifications

1. Many present and prospective Army requirements of timber products were originally planned in steel or plastics or other materials. Hence the wood specifications sometimes are hasty, often not well polished and not well correlated with other specifications.

2. Army specifications writers under time pressures tend to concentrate on the preferred grades of preferred species to the exclusion in part or whole of other usable grades and species in more readily available supply.

3. These preferred specifications were readily supplied by the lumber industry when the total required volume was comparatively small in relation to the national stocks and national production. Temporarily and for the present they cannot be supplied under the present conditions wherein war, defense and essential civilian requirements substantially exceed production.

4. The immediate acute pressure of war demands against available lumber supply is due fundamentally and almost entirely to war construction. That is expected to taper off during the last thftd of. 1942. Thereafter the lumber industry should gradually be enabled to provide the war agencies with their "preferred" sizes and grades.

5. For the present all agencies will have to use "available" rather than "preferred" species, sizes and grades. Army and Navy Should Consider:

1. More adequate current study of information of available stocks and production of "usable" grades,.species and sizes for their bearing on specifications.

2. Regularly and more adequately furnishing to the industry, preferably through thb Lumber and Lumber Products Branch of the W.P.B., information of anticipated requirements of lumber and timber products, including grades items and species and to the extent practicable on special cuttings thicknesses, widths and lengths also.

3. Coordination of specifications and purchasing, including timing of purchasing between agencies of the Army (especially between Engineers, Quartermaster and Ordnance) and between Army and Navy; and utilization so far as practicable of the same facilities within each D'epartment for making the required purchases.

4. Contracting in advance for the entire output of mills which are favorably situated with respect to timber, labor (Continued on Page 28)

(Continued f.rom Page 77) and shipping facilities; and' instructing their sawing policies.

5. Contracting for the entire output of desired species, items and sizes, of mills able to produce urgently needed items,

6. Seeking some practicable arrangement or understanding with the Office of Price Administration by which the Army or the Navy, for the production and procurement especially of urgently needed and difficult items, may be enabled to contract in advance for mill out-put and to pay for it prices higher than the applicable O.P.A. ceiling, to the extent necessary to secure increased production either through overtime operation or by marginal plants.

7. Request of appropriate Federal agencies that continuity of needed labor in sawmills and logging be protected in so far as is cornpatible with war requirements and that a suitable body or committee (with necessary regional or local representation) be set up with a duty to deal with appeals from individual timber companies for consideration of their labor requirements.

8. Financial assistance or cooperation in securing financial assistance to producers or groups of producers able and willing to produce needed dry, thick stock by combined processes of kiln dry and laminating.

9. If additional freezing is necessary to limit the application of the "limitation" orders:

(a) To producers which the Army and Navy, for administrative reasons, are able to include in their buying progfam, i.e., not to include mills or concentration yards producing less than a certain minimum or otherwise not qualified to participate in Army auctions or negotiated contracts.

(b) To grades, species and items which the Arrny and Navy will buy.

(c) So that producers of "frozen" grades, species and items may be authorized to sell such lumber to other eligible buyers if the Army and Navy do not wish to buy it.

(d) In general, to enable lumber and timber products, so far as practicable, to continue to serve as a source or reservoir of usable materials for war and defense, and for the maintenance of essential civilian economy.

10. To stay away from any system of "allocations" of lumber. In the logging and lumber manufacturing industry, with its tens of thousands of operating units the Army and Navy, if allocations lvere depended on would lose more through reduced production than they could possibly gain by more direct control of uses.

Gerry Knight, son of Chester Knight, of the San Fernando Lumber Company, San Fernando, and nephew of Hal Baly, of the Van Nuys Lumber Company, Van Nuys, expects to get his coveted wings in the Army Air Corps the middle of this month.

Gerry enlisted last November, and having passed through several trainitrg centers, includin$ Randolph Field, he is now at Foster Field where he is putting on the finishing touches on intercePtor command.

Having been with the San Fernando and Van Nuys Lumber Companies since he was thirteen years old, he is widely

known in Southern California lumber circles. He expects to be home on August first for a short furlough.

Ertimated Wegtern Pine Consumption lor Third Quarter of 1942

Portland, Oregon, June 27-An estimate of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western Pine region for the third quarter of. 1942 is given in a statement issued by the Western Pine Association here today. The statement in full is as follows:

The lumber industry has kept pace with the conversion of American industry to war production. During the past quarter, further increases in the estimated lumber requirements for war purposes have resulted in the War Production Board Lumber Limitation Order L-121, announcement by Donald Nelson that lumber is a "critical material," "rrd'unn.*"tive steps by the W.P.B. in such matters effecting the lumber industry as labor scarcity, priorities, and transportation. The Western Fine industry continues its effort to meet the 'n'ar and essential civilian demand for its products.

Preliminary estimates of second quarter performance indicate that, during the first half of 1942 the Western Pine industry shipped 8O2 million feet of lumber, almost 5/o more than in the same previous peak period of 1941. This rvas accomplished despite greatly reduced stocks and with a production during the first six months ol 2477 million feet or 3/o lower than a year ago. Although the industry has exerted every effort to maintain and increase production schedules, labor shortage, lowered efficiency, equipment and maintenance problems as well as unfavorable weather conditions have all operated to defeat that purpose. During June the outlook for production has improved and while stocks are at an all time low in relation to demand, the industry can be expected to make a favorable showing for the balance of the year.

Government estimates of I94Z lumber requirements for war and essential civilian purposes are now 38.7 billion feet, almost 4 billion feet more than the estimates three months ago and approximately 5 billion feet over actual 1941 consumption. The industry's unfilled order file of 650 million feet is only slightly higher than at this time last year, but this does not accurately reflect the relative demand. Increased shipments, lower production, and smaller stocks, rather than current demand. are the factors limiting the volume of orders accepted.

Based on general predictions and all other available information concerning the use of these products, it is expected that, during the third quarter ol 1942, the shipments (consumption) of Western Pine Lumber will be about 1850 million feet. This rvould mean a volume of shipments which would exceed that for the second quarter by 235 million feet, or 15/o, and which would approximately equal that for the third quarter of 1941. As during the second quarter, the volume of deliveries in July, August and September will be limited onlv bv the abilitv of the mills to make shipment.
