The California Lumber Merchant - July 1944

ttWg used thirteen calloads of Schumite "Laminated Plank" for roof sheathing on a housing project for the F. P. H. A. in Stockton, California.

nAt the start of rhe job we rhought we were using Schumite Laminated Plank as a substirution for wood roof sheathing. As a result of the ease of handling, from the unloading of the cars to the placing on the roofs and the low cost of actually insalling the material, we no longer look upon Schumite Laminated Plank as a substitute, but instead the preferred material where design conditions are proper for the use of this product."

Ygs, millions of square feet of Schumite

Laminated Plank have been used with complete satisfaction by many prominent constructors on Army, Navy, Maritime and Housing projects.

Directions to Lumber Control Order L'335

Washington, D. C., July 3, 1944-To provide sufficient lumber of certain species to meet military requirements for the third quarter,1944, the Wat Production Board today issied five directions to the Lumber Control Order, L-335. The directions cover specified species and provide that, sawmills over certain sizes (measured by production) must give military orders pre,cedence over all other orders, except those rated AAA, up to specified percentages of their anticipated monthly shipments.

Provisions of the five directions are identical except that the sizes of the sawmills that must give precedence to military orders and the percentage of shipments for preferred mititary ordprs vary. '

Species covered by the directions follow:

Direction 1: Douglas fir, white fir, noble fir, Sitka spruce (except aircraft grade) and west coast hemlock, when these species are produced in the States of Oregon and Washington west of the crest of the Cascade Mountain range. This area is generally known commercially as the West Coast lumber region.

Direction 2: Ponderosa pine, sugar pine, lodgepole pine, Idaho white pine, white fir, Douglas fir, western white spruce, Engelmann spruce and larch when produced in the area generally known commercially as the western pine area-that is, in the States of Arizona, Neriv Mexico, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota and Wyoming and those portions of Washington and Oregon east of the crest of the Cascade Mountains. The directions do not include any Douglas fir, Idaho

white pine or w,hite fir produced in Oregon and Washing- ;; .

ton west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains. '

Direction 3: Redwood produced in California. ,.1'1

Direction 4: Southern yellow pine. (Prodtrced in the',{1 eleven Southern States.)

Direction 5 : Red or yellow cypress. (Chieflv produced:3 ' i

in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Louisiana.)

Provisions of Direction 1 follow:

Military orders take frecedence over other orders in saw-l; mills producing 25;000 or more board feet of lumber per:av1i, erage day of continuous operation, or sawmills that.gro:ii duced an average of 25,000 or"more board feet per day dur-# ing the days they were in operation in the six-month periodi; June 3, 1943, to December 3,1943.

To the extent that military orders are received, up to;, 35 per cent of such sawmills' expected monthly shipmeot-i:) must be on such orders. These orders take precedence ovef:i all other orders, except those rated AAA, ,i,

A direction on hardwoods somewhat similar to these five-'' and a direction on softwoods will be issued shortly, WPB:]

AVAIlABlE NOW! CeloSiding is a presentday "natural"! It enables dealers to tap the rich farm market and other immediate profitable building opportunities.

lDEAt tUlAtERlAl. Celo-Siding is a multiple-function mateiial combining siding, sheathing and insulation in one quickly applied board. The board is composed of C,elotex cane fibre, coated on all sides with an asphaltcompound. An extra coating is applied to the weather surface and crushed mineral granules are pressed in to provide a durable, attractive e*erior finish. Applied direct to studding.

Ideal for small shops, farm buildingp and general lowcost construction.

. I'm but the son my mother bore, A simple man, and nothing more. But-God of strength and gentlenessF

Be pleased to make me nothing less. Help me, O God, when death is near, To mock the haggard face of fear, That when I fall-if fall I must-. My soul may triumph in the dust. ***

The above stanza titled "A Soldier's Prayer," was reported found in a trench at the battle of El Aghella, December 14, l942,by a member of the British Army. There was no signature. The author is unknown. It was Rupert Brooke, the young British soldier, author of inspired war poema, who wrote:

"Blow out, you bugles, over the rich dead!

There's none of these so lonely and poor or old, But dying has made us rarer gifts than gold. These laid the world away, poured out the red Rich wine of youth; gave up the years to be, Of work and joy and that unhoped serene That men call age; and those who would have been Their sons, they gave their'immortality." ***

As Ingersoll said in his matchless prose poetry: "They 'are at rest. They sleep under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemri pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, the embracing trees. They sleep beneath the shadow of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Palace of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars. THEY are at peace."

+tf!F

Yet, while we at home can only view the casualty lists of our warriors brave with tearful eye and voiceless throats, those boys "over there" can take it and grin. Great stories continue to come back on the very wings of battle about their jests in the face of death. One of the gags that has swept the battle lines in France is that General "Ike" got a message from Stalin that said: "Aim those big guns lgwer -they're hitting our front lines." ***

Kind of reminds you of the old story of the two drunks driving in a car toward New York City at night. One of them said, "\Me're getting close to town." .The other one asked, "How do you lsrow?" And the first one said, "We're hitting more people." ***

The funniest story of the Normandy invasion that has

come to me is about the paratrooper who was foatipg downvrard in his chute toward the soil of France, while bul.'l lets from Nazi guns whistled all about him. "Hell !" he said to himself, "there must be some easier way to make a living than this !"

Those boys, loving life as well as any, still can make a jest of the "great adventure." Perhaps they agree with .: Sir Walter Scott that: "One cro,wded hour of glorious ' life is worth an age without a thrill." And Lord Byron;, thinking along the same lines; said: !'Oh talk not to me:.,l of a name great in story, the days of our youth are thc ;i days of our glory." * * *

And there always comes to my mind the words of that. famous Arherican Sergeant who led his immortal charge a(i Argonne Forest, shouting to his men: "Come on you blank-' ety-blank so-and-sos-what do yoru want to do-live for-,',: ever?" ***

The great battle for Cherbourg reminds us of a very historic event that this city once witnessed. Eight5r yearg r;. ago in June, during orir American Civil War, the Confed-',ii: erate privateer Alabama, of which Capt. Raphael Semmes -r was comrnander, was quartered in the neutral harbor of Cherbourg. The U.S.S. Kearsarge, under Capt. John A. \f,/inslow, challenged her to conre out and fight. Procrptlyf ij the gallant Capt. Semmes accepted. The entire population',i' of Cherbourg gathered on the heights of the harbor and',1] behind it, to watch the battle. They had grandstand seatC'. for a swell show. The Keasarge sank the Alabama, tho'.":i crew of which was rescued. .'.i, ***

It required fifty mi[ion feet sf lumber to repair theJ,

ttlat matter since the Allies took the place over. An armi' of engineers have been working ori the Cherbourg docks,i since we took charge, and no doubt American lumber ie <,'i playrng a terrific part in that repair job, just as it did at Naples. Allied engineers and American lumber will be iri,.,! the thick of the fight until the war ends. ***

On November first, 1918, General Von Hindenburg, whel, was the high commander of the German army in Francer,-, issued a public blast, notifying all concerned that the. German airny and navy were defending and would con:'.,

ErcnrBBw yearsr ago an explosion in a tiny factory founded a great industr5r which today reaches all thi civilized world. That explosion took place in a high-pressure steam "gun" which literally blew wood apart to separate its basic ellulose fiber and. glue-like lignin. With varying heats and pressures, these elements were recombined. The result was Masonite* ligno.cellulose hardboards, materiali with a tlousand tested uses, made from wood but stronger than wood.

The war jobs these Masonite Presdwoods* have tackled are hundreds. The.peacetime jobs of Presdwoods will be even more numerous. Handsome wall paneling of these large, quick-andeasy-to-install hardboards will grace many of tomorrow's homes. Tomorrow's kitchens and bathrooms will gleam with highly finished, enamel-like surfaces made of Presdwoods.

To home and commercial buildings, Presdwoods will bring the advantages of unusual workability. Cut or saw them with ordinary woodworking tools. They have no tendency to chip, rrarp of split. They resist moisture. And their smooth, hard surface is splendid for almost every kind of finish.

tinue to defend the Fatherland against all comers, and that she would never under any circumstances capitulate. Ten days later the big Boche and his army had laid down their arms. Of course he well knew when he was talking so big on November first that he was at the end of his rope. What he was doing was looking for a better quitting price. Remember that, when you do yo,ur thinking about the possibility of a quick ending to the present war. Von Hindedburg was talking big like the guy whistling in a graveyard. Hitler today is so frightened he can't even whisper. At least Von Hindenburg was no coward. Hitler will screant for mercy wheh his time comes. Old Von Hindenburg was a brave man.

When the Germa" U".*"ar"" went to Marshall Foch to ask for terms in World War One, they got a fearful shock. General Foch began dictating a set of terms and conditions. As he proceeded the Germans turned white with fear and anger, so brutal and heartless were the terms. Said the German leader: "There must be some mistake ! Surely no civilized country wo'uld impose such unthinkable terms." Foch sat back and grinned. "You are right," he said, "no civilized country would. What you just heard are the terms imposed on the French city of Lille by the German commander who captured it. Those are not our terms. I just wanted to get your true opinion of yourselves. Now here are our terms," and he handed out an entirely new manuscript.

The second bombing of Japan sent a thrill through America. The message our bombs sent was-"Get ready to take what Berlin is getting." The last time Japan was invaded was by tle scrappy Mongolian, Kubla Khan, in the year L24l A.D. The American B-29's travel a bit faster and hit a bit harder than the Khan's horseback soldiers could. And what they will do to that flimsy island when they start going over in masses !

lVhen Rome was spared the devastation of this war, among.the thousands of priceless buildings that were thus savgd was of course, St. Peter's. Sixty thousand people can worship in that church at the same time. It has 29 altars of worship. When Napoleon took Rome he stole about one hundred wonderful paintings from the Vatican and placed them in the Louvre in Paris. After Watetloo, 72 of those paintings were returned. The most valuable work of art in Rbme when this present war started was Titian's "Sacred and Profane Love," for which J. P. Morgan in vain offered seven million dollars. Guess where Hitler has this painting now ! ft would be silly to suppose he failed to take it. *t(+

What a great part the Jeep is playing in this war. It is one of the most interesting and thought-provoking mechanisms the war has produced. Worrlds of people are interested in the postwar place of the Jeep. .They want to know what these interesting and efficient little gas buggies will cost for civilian use, what practical value they will

have and to whom and where and for what. For instanccl: the Department of Agriculture of the State of California alone, says it has requests for 27,000 Jeeps when they can'.r be had. Farmers are interested in them everywhere. So;,.i are loggers. So are many other industries. The Jeep has" i been well advertised, and has caught'the public fancy in:,d great style. - tl

*rf*

The number of Jeeps we are building now is a military'.i'i: secret. They are being made entirely, we understand' by:;; the Willys-Overland Company. Up to last spring thi$-;: company rvas reported to have delivered oVer 200,(XlO Jeepsi: Ford, using Willys-Overland patents, made about 150'(X)0r Jeeps, which completed their contract. One other auto,:j concern made a relatively small number of Jeeps. They are.,j understood to cost the Government about $900 each, i"ud# as they are today. There is much discussion-a hot con*; troversy, in fact-about wtro originated the Jeep. The Feil',,'i eral Trade Commission is reportedly trying to find out fon certain who gets the credit. Undoubtedly Willys-Overland worked out the plan for the machine as it is today. Butii whose was the original idea? That's the question. Andri what will a Jeep cost after the war? And who will them? No doubt the Jeep could be built in postwar aan.: by commercial builders for a lot less than $9(X), since thing in war time costs oxcessively to manufacture. the little puddle-jumper will outlii'e the wan and into a big future, is the general opinion.

We see strange things here at home. The United Supreme Court, that august tribunal to which every turned as a final protector of right and justice, has, in t'hb; past few years fallen to a low level no one would ever dreamed of. Witness the fact that recently someone authorized by the Association invited a member of Supreme Court to iddress the annual convention of Texas Bar Association, Such a hullabuloo was raised the Association President issued a public denial that jurist had ever received an official invitation. The j reading of the matter, cancelled his engagement. But the convention at which he was to have spoken took they passed a stern resolution criticizing and the United States Supreme Court. It proves what has said a million times in the last few years; packing a tribunal of justice politically, is bad business.

In the next couple of weeks we will hear much talk "not changing horses in the middle o'f the stream." 1932, an eloquent gentletnan settled that question, so as I am concerned, for all time, in a few well chosen He said: "There will be many in this nation during coming months who will implore you'not to swap crossing a streanr. As a matter of course there has been any sound basis for the 'Don't change horses' ment. Were it sound in its relation to politics, it: mean ttrat no public official could ever be replaced." speech was made in St. Paul, Minnesota. The year 1932. The speaker was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Not So Smart After All

Now and again a story comes along that so catches the public interest that it sweeps the country. Such a story has been going around for the past few weeks, gathering momentum as it went.

A man walks up on a chess game' and is astounded to discover that one of the players is a big setter dog' On one side of the chess board sits a man, on the other side this dog, and they both show the same deep interest in the game that chess players generally develop. The dog took his time, studied his plays, then moved, just as his opponent did.

The bracing strength of CELO-SIDING exceeds that of hori" zontal wood sheathing.

CELO-SIDING has been used across the nation on barracks, cantonments, housing projects and many other buildings for the army and navy. Camps and air fields have been built with this allpurpose material, providing comfort for our service men. Other types of construction in which CELO-SIDING proves ideal, include tourist cabins, small hotels, roadside markets, summer homes, play houses, implement sheds, tool sheds and various other roadside buildings such as those erected by railroads.

Up in Paradise they were wondering what was going on down below on the Earth, so they sent that wise old man Methusglah down to investigate and report. He was gone but a short time and came hurrying back, all out of breath. "What did you learn, and why are you back so quickly?" they asked the 900 year old fellow.

"I went to Germany first," he answered, "and got scared and hurried back. They're calling my class to the colors right now."

Andrew lcckson and the Civil Lcrw

Right after the Battle of New Orleans Andrew Jackson imprisoned a civilian for writing a letter to a nelvspaper ,criticizing the continuation of martial law in New Orleans. Judge D. A. Hall issued a writ of habeas corpus to bring the civilian into court, so Jackson grabbed the judge and ,locked him up in the same jail with the civilian. After martial'law erlded the Judge fined Jackson one thousand dollars and costs for contempt of court, and Jackson had to pay it. Twenty-nine years later Congress reimbursed him the fine money.

Eflects of Lumber Shortage on Furniture Production,i

ByLeRoyH.Stanton,E.J.Stanton&Son,LosAnge|es

(Address delivered at the Regional Meeting of the National Retail Furniture Association at Los Angeles.)

I hope in some measure to give you my imPression as a lumber distributor of the current picture of wood as a very important material in the-production of furniture.

In the first place, luryber, both softwood and hardwood, is one of the most critical products in the war program. The draiting of loggers and sawmill workers. and high wages in shipyards and other war industries have drawn a large number of men from lumber production.

Reduced production, coupled with enormous demand for ' war agencies, has created a tremendous shortage of every kind of lumber.

Also, price ceilings and easier production because of larger sizes have made it to the advantage of the sawmills to cut their logs into timbers and heavy stock, which can be shipped practically green from the saw.

In normal.times the mills cut heavily to inch boards and thicknesses up to two inches, which were air dried for several months so that the stock could be easily kiln dried; ' but the urgent demand has now made it poSsible to ship a large part of their cut without having to €arry it in their yards. Naturally this quick turnover is very attractive and profitable.

Thus the greatly reduced supply of one to two inch lumber, a great portion of which would ordinarily go into the production of furniture, has been diverted into war needs - such as crating, truck body material, and countless other uses for thb Army and Navy. The Army truck program alone has consumed millions of feet of hardwoods, and construction of landing craft for the invasions in the Pacific and Eutope has had first call oh both hardwoods and softwoods.

Shipment of supplies to all the $iar fronts has required millions of feet of inch lumber for crating, as aircraft parts and many other Army and Navy supplies must be most carefully packed for overseas shipment.

'War needs for certain hardwoods, such as oak, ash, maple, birch, beech, and hickory, most o.f which formerly went into furniture, have made these woods so scarce that the War Production Board finally classified them as "frozen woods," and has specified the uses to which they can be put. Distributing yards are allowed to carry limited amounts on hand, but a report must be made each month

of our inventory, sales, and end uses for which the lumber :{;; has been sold. We are only permitted to purchase under. .$

releases from the WPB in Washington, and these woods ":.i cannot be sold to furniture plants, except under AA-l pri- ''.i ority rating on definite contracts for ttre Navy and Army. r,

A good many of the local furniture plants have been :.{ producing furniture sold on Government housing projects, 'i for which they have received.AA-3 priorities. This has .',:, been helpful to us in securing both hardwood and softwood'. ir lumber for them, as the mills insist on ratings and it has :;.t been practically impossible to place business with thetn ,'li.-:, ;':t;il

Naturally hardwoods are used principally in the manu- ,':fr facture of furniture, and coupled with labor problems, has .j come one of the worst seasons that the Southern hardwood ,l i producing section has experienced in many years. Thous: -i,; ands of acres of timberlands have been under water from 'i almost incessant rains, and production this year has been - ,.* abnonmally low. In the birch and maple sections of Michi- ';r;" gan and Wisconsin many mills have had to close on account r.l of timber shortage and ceiling .difficulties, so you con s€€'::uj that the hardwood production picture in general has been::-,j a pretty sick one. ,..

No doubt you gentlemen in the furniture business have r,i, felt the effecfs of this situation and are probably familial-l1ff with many of the causes. it',l, th ot ,. E

We, on our part, have been greatly concerned over sup- irl:,;:' vvs, ull uur pdrL, Itavc utrEu E,Icalry uulrccflrcu uvEI sup-,.: plying local {urniture plants with lumber to keep them :l; going, as the supplying of lumber to these plants haS been ',. an important part of our^ business for many years; and we l': have endeavored to improve ciur handling facilities to pro- ','i vide for prompt deliveries and reduced handling costs. :r; Kiln drying is, of course, an esseirtial {eature in supplying ,'$ the furniture plarits, as dry kilns are not too plentiful in d the lumber producing section, and with our battery of mod- lj ern kilns we can assure our customers of getting dry lum; tr ber when they need it. This sounds like tooting the Stan- $ ton horn, but I do want to say that the yard disiributor tras ttt;i played an important part in the development of the local l.il furniture industry, and I am sure that many of the local lli plants could not have Survived this period of lumber scarc- .-:.i ity without the support of the local yards.'Necessarily, we -:l'l cannot take care of the full requirements of one plant, as ,:. we have to ration the stock out as we get it in, but the local :, distributing yards,.of which we are only a part, hav'e really ' .1 tried hard to provide the local plants with badly needed '':i lumber to keep them running. To do this it has been neces- ;: sary to purchase whatever hardwoods our mill friends will ,' let us have, and many cars we receive contain as many as ten species of hardwood, including woods seldom ever':i; heard of here in the past. Some of the woods are locust, ; hackberry, sassafras, cherry, holly, persimmon, black gum, 'fi tupelo gum, sap gum, magnolia, willow, cottonwood, and'i',',c

Control Over Softwood Plyvvood Extended

Washington, June 24--Control over softwood plywood was extended today by the War Production Bolrd to include all softwood plywood strips, odd sizes, and scrap with surface measurements of more than eight square feet.

Order L-l50-a, which restricts the sale of softwood plywood by distributors to purchase orders rated AA-2x or better, formerly excluded all pieces not meeting commercial standards (rejects, cut-backs, strips, odd sizes antl scrap). The exemption resulted in some softwood plyrvood going into unessential use, WPB said. L-150-a as amended today, limits exemptions to pieces measuring less than eight square feet. Larger pieces can be completelv utilized for military boxing and crating, WPB said.

The amended order also permits the sale of softwoocl plywood on purchase orders rated AA-3 for use in authorized construction projects, (Forms GA-1456 and CMPI.593). Such purchase orders must be certified as set fortll in L-I50-a. The purchase of plywood on AA-3 ratings will be authorized only for use in concrete form construction, WPB said.
