"Whatever your occupation may be and however crowded your hours with affairs, do not fail to secure at least a few minutes every day for refreshment of your inner life with a bit of poetry."-Charles Eliot Norton.

So, in line with Ur. n*a""'s good bit of philosophy quoted above, let us start this piece on this good day (it is being written on the Fourth of July) with a bit of doggerel that seems pertinent at the moment:

Some people say that the prospects are grey, And the future looks dark as a fog; And others will cry to the heavens on high, That conditions are all out of cog; While many declare that we're up in the air, Or sunk in the depths of the bog; Remember ! It isn't the dog in the fight That counts. It's the*fight in the dog.

And here's another bit of rhyming that was used very pertly as well as pertinently by the grand old actor, Lionel Barrymore. He was making a speech on advertising to an ad club, and he knocked the audience over with this one:

"There was a L; t our town. And he was wondrous wise, ffe swsre (it was his policy) He would NOT advertise. But one day he DfD advertise, And thereby hangs a tale, The ad was set in wee small type, And headed-'Sherifi's Sale'."

Like I was just saying, I'm tickling this typewriter on the Fourth of July, and since it happens that I've bien reading some Fourth of July facts, written by one of our greatest national historical authorities; and since I gleaned from this reading some very, very interesting matters hitherto unknown to me (or forgotten, which amounts to the same thing) it occurred to me that my reader friends might also like to brush up on some vital history. So I shall boil them down, and send them along. I believe that you, too, may add something to your store of important knowledge concerning the creation of this first great land of the free.

What do we celebrate on July Fourth? The adoption of the document which we call the Declaration of fndependence. But it is likely that the more memorable date with

reference to the Declaration was in reality the SECOND of July. For on that day the second Continental Congress adopted a RESOLUTION that had been introduced by Richard Henry Lee on the 7th day of the previous month of June. That resolution called for the adoption of the Declaration.

John Adams, who foru ti. Jr,rrra o, the debate favoring Lee's resolution through the long hours of July L and 2, wrote a letter to his wife, dated July 3rd, in which he said: "Yesterday the greatest question was decided which was ever debated in America, and a greater, perhaps, never was or will be decided among men." The decision was reached, the die was cast on July ,XU.*

In another letter written by John Adams, he said: "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. f am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by successive generations as the great anniversary festival." But the Declaration was actually adopted on July Fourth, and so we have celebrated that day, rather than the day predicted by John Adams.

Many important Americans think that the Declaration was signed on July Fourth. It has often been so stated in ringing words and phrases by Fourth of July orators. But it wasn't so. After the Declaration had been passed by resolution on July 2nd, and adopted on July Fourth, it was on July 19th that a resolution was made and adopted in the Continental Congress to the effect that the document be engrossed upon parchment for more permanent preservation. Then, on August 2nd, the Declaration was actually signed. But not by the entire Congress, for there were only 50 present that day. Six other names were added later. as follows:

George Wythe was added on August 27th; Richard Henry Lee, Elbridge Gerry, and George Walton signed their names on September 4th; Matthew Thornton signed on the following November 19th; and the name of Thomas McKean was added in the year 1781. It is often stated that there were 55 signers, but there were actualty 56. The story is told that when John Ffancock. was asked (which happened frequently) why he signed the Declaration in such a bold hand, he smilingly replied that he did it because he wanted King George to be able to read it without his glasses.

One of the most popular misstatements concerning the Declaration is that it says that "all men are created free and equal." The word "free" does not appear there. pa-

The Liberty Bell was not rung on July Fourth, as is com,monly stated. ft was rung on July 8th, when the Declaration was publicly read from the steps of the State House at noon. On July 6th the Continental Congress ordered the Declaration printed, and the public reading of same was its official proclama*tion.

The quotation from Leviticus that was cast on the side of the Liberty Bell-"Proclaim liberty to all the land and unto all the inhabitants thereof"-117as in no way related to the Declaration of fndependence, except as to philosophy. The bell, with that quotation on its side, was cast in Britain in 1752. The quotation and the Declaration were, of course, very timely. The bell was recast twice. in America, the quotation being retained in each case. The Journal of the Congress gives the facts concerning the ringing of the Liberty BelL *

The Declaration drew much criticism in the early years following its adoption, from both important Americans and British. Even John Adams, quoted above, declared he thought it too bitter in calling King George a "t5rrant." Others criticized its seeming radicalism, and still others questoned its originality of word and thought, as it came from the pen of Thomas Jefferson.

Concct to Be Held

Secretary Bernard B. Barber, Jr. of San Joaquin HooHoo Club No. 31, Fresno, has announced that a Hoo-Hoo Concat will be held at the Belmont fnn, Fresno, on Friday, August 4. Application blanks may be obtained from the Secretary, 1833 Broadway, Fresno, Calif.

He also announced the date of the Third Annual Valley Frolic, which rvill be held on Saturday, Sepetmber 9, under the direction of Doc Snead.

Lumbermen Ask S. P. Ior More Ccns

The Northwestern California Lumbermen's Club, Eureka, drafted an appeal to the Southern Pacific Railroad, June 27, asking that more freight cars be allocated for shipment of lumber in that area.

The Southern Pacific's subsidiary, the Northwestern Pacific Line, can furnish cars sufficient to handle only 50 per cent of Humboldt County's lumber output, the club stated.

Visits Los Angeles Trqde

R. B. (Dick) Yates, manager of Chapco Sales, lis, Oregon, called on the trade in Los Angeles with Wm. M. Wilson and Frank Surbaugh, Los Southern California distributors of Chaoco Board.

One of the chief criticisms from Americans charged Jefferson with wholesale plagiarism from the political literature of Europe, as well as America. Jefferson made his usual powerful reply to such shafts, when he said: "Whether I had gathered my ideas from reading or refection, I do not know. I only know that I turned to neither book nor pamphlet while writing it. I do not consider it any part of my charge to invent new ideas altogether and to offer no sentiment which had ever been expressed before."

Corvalrecently Angeles,

Tom Jacobsen, Sr., Piedmont Lumber & Nlill Co., Oakland, is on a vacation to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. lle is accornpanied by his wife and son, Bruce. The trip to Alaska rvas made by steamer from Vancouver, B. C.

But now that time rr",

away the passions and prejudices of those violent days, there exists in my mind not the faintest doubt that the hand of Providence itself was guiding the pen of Thomas Jefferson as he wrote, and that it is without exception or challenge the greatest document that ever fell from the mind of mortal man. The charge of some early writers that it was too highly rhetorical, seems foolish in retrospect. Great thoughts must ever be couched in great language. And the finger of God was on Jefferson as he wrote. Never doubt it. The great things of the world don't just happen. There is a guiding F'orce. It was with the tall red-head as he wrote.

For various dates and ,J*.t have used in this piece, I am grateful to the writings of Frank Harmon Garver, historical authority of stature and dependability.

"The reason f used Upson Kuver-Krak Panels in the Iiving room and library of my residence was brought about by the great diffi- culty I had with the plaster cracking. I am glad to report that these panels have been extremely satisfactory and have added beauty and charm to our home."

UPSQN PANELS

BOB GEISY, Columbus, Ohio

"We put lJpson Strong- Bilt Panels in our new home, built in 1941. We never expect to have any repair work of any description on them. As a matter of fact, they have never been repainted. Visitors often comment about the beauty of our paneled ceilings."

G. E. CARTER, Pori Arlhur, Texos

"Several years ago, f applied Upson Panels to the wglls and ceilings of my home. Today, they look just as good as when they were first applied. I don't think they will ever need repairing beyond an occasional coat of paint."

O. C. CAIDWELL, Lisbon, Ohlo

"We chose Upson Strong- Bilt Panels for the interior walls of our home because their surface has a rich and delicate quality; one that lends itself well to decoration. We are well pleased with our Upson walls and beautiful ceilings and recommend their use to everyone desiring arbistic interiors."

Everywhere, more and more lumber dealers are selling more and more Upson Panelsfor re-covering unsightly and unsafe cracked ceilings-for building better homes with permanently crackproof walls and ceilings.

If you could trim your increased costs of operation by streamlining your methods and employing every possible mechanical device to speed up your service, you'd certainly do it. In the production of Palco Quality Redwood we were in much the same position. To take full advantage of production economies, we were able to vastly increase our manufacturing efficiency by adopting modern production line methods and equipment. This meant that instead of handling Redwood lumber in broken lots, we had to process and ship, our output in standard units of fixed quantities. In this way, we have been able to continue to supply higher uniformity of grade and quality. The result is that when you buy Palco Redwood-you buy the finest that's produced, grade for grade.

Wlll Co-Sponsor National Home \(/eek

Convinced that National Home Week offers great pronlotional possibilities for retail lumber dealers, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has agreed to be a co-sponsor of the event and has prepared a complete plan of operation for individual dealers wishing to participate this year.

National Home Week will be held September 10 to 17, which includes two Sundays. The other cooperating organizations are the National Association of Home Builders and the National Association of Real Estate Boards.

The event was an outstanding success last year.

Los Angeles Businessmen Buy San Pedro Lumber Co.

Controlling interest in the San Pedro Lumber Co. at Los Angeles has been purchased from Northern California stockholders by a group of prominent Los Angeles businessmen in a transaction involving approximately $500,000, according to A. B. McKee Jr., president of the new company.

Headquarters of the company have been moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco. The new officers of the company are: A. B. McKee Jr., president; Frank P. Hooper Jr., vice president; Emerson Spear, vice president; Edward Hervey, secretary; James C. Jenkins, treasurer, and A{ary (Mallard) Abernethy, assistant secretary. P. H. Talbert and l{olvard Burrell have been elected to the board of directors.

San Pedro Lumber Co. is one of the oldest lumber concerns on the Pacific Coast, having started in business on January 4, 1883. Yards and shipping facilities were constructed in the slough that later became the main channel of San Pedro Harbor. This site was sold and in 1923 they constructed a new 2}-acre plant in the West Basin. The

company's yard at Compton was opened in 1883, the Whittier yard two years later, and the following year yards were opened in Los Angeles, Ontario, Monrovia, and Artesia. In 1888 yards were opened in Huntington Beach and Beaumont.

The general offices and yard are at 1518 South Central Ave., Los Angeles. The company operates its wholesale yard, wharves and mill at San Pedro, and has two branch yards at Compton and Westminster, having disposed of the other yards.

A. B. McKee Jr. lias been with the company lor D years, and has been general manager since 1937. James C. Jenkins, credit manag'er, has been with the firm 38 years, and Mary (Mallard) Abernethy has been Mr. McKee's secretary since joining the company in 1933.

Mr. McKee is also vice president of the Forest Lumber Company; on the board of directors of the Valley Lumber Company at Fresno; and owner o{ the Imperial Lumber Company at Brawley, Imperial and Calipatria.

Joe Watt, manager of the Chicago office of Union Lumber Compally, was e visitor to the company's home office in San Francisco, last month. He also spent some time at the mill at Fort Bragg, Calif.

E. R. (Hip) Hipkins, formerly manager of the Square Deal Lumbcr Company, Salinas, is now associated with the Antioch Lumber Company, Antioch, Calif.

Stained Lumber Sales Aid Published

Portland, Ore., July 5-A new sales aid designed to promote the use of blue and brown stained pine lumber by builders and consumers has been published by the Western Pine association, the group announced today.

Entitled "Stain is Not Decay," the 6x3" four-page folder is a condensed version of authoritative laboratory reports which demonstrate conclusively that blue and brown stains are caused by harmless microscopic fungi. The tiny organisms feed upon lvater soluble food in green lumber only and do not affect the structural components of the wood.

Attractively lithographed in three 'colors, the folder may be imprinted and used as a direct mail piece by retail lumber dealers or used as customer literature. It calls attention to unusual decorative effects obtainable when the wood is utilized for marble grain paneling. The folder is a codsumer edition of one addressed to retail dealers.

Single copies and quantity rates are available upon request from Western Pine association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland 4. Ore.

Lewis A. Godard, San Francisco, a past member of the Supreme Nine, was toastmaster, and in this capacity presented the guest of honor with a beautiful gold Hamilton wrist watch, inscribed "C. D. LeMaster from friends in the lumber industry."

Dave Davis, Supreme Jabberwock of Hoo-lfoo, San Francisco, presented him with a life membership in International Hoo-Hoo.

And from the San Francisco Bay district in addition to those already mentioned were the following: Tom Tomlinson, Bill Main, Alex Gordon, Frank Duttle, Lloyd l{arris, Jo Shepard, Arlie Charter, Ed LaFranchi, (President of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39), Jim Overcast, Bob Smith.

Color Changes the Rule in Kitchens

New Nationwide Survey Shows

When it comes to kitchen cabinets, Mrs. America doesn't choose her color schemes "for keeps." This fact was brought out in a recent nationwide survey made by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork.

More than half of those questioned in the survey expressed the intention of changing the color scheme of their kitchen cabinets. Of these, 39.7% stated that they would change in less than five years, and,53.3/o stated that they would change in from five to ten years. The balance of 7.0/o, gave miscellaneous answers.

Interesting regional differences in the frequency of color change were noted in the survey. Housewives in the western states were revealed as being the most avid for color changes in less than five years, while those in southern, north central and northeastern states followed in that order.

Long-Bell Makes Only Ponderosa Plywood f n Modern \Veed, Calif., Plant

The Long-Bell Lumber Company operates a plywood plant at Weed, Cali{ornia, as an integral unit of a large institution that includes a rnodern sawmill, planing mill, and door plant.

The plyr.r'ood plant produces an average of 30,000,000 feet per year, on a /s" basis, and uses only Ponderosa pine for its raw materials.

The equipment of this plant is all new and modern, and consists of the following: 1 Globe barker; I Merritt lathe, 80" swing, 110" knife, powered with Ajax steam engine; 1 Merritt core lathe; 6 trays; 1 Elliott Bay automatic clipper; 1 Manual clipper; 2 Moore dryers, each consisting of 12 sections with 5 lines; 2 glue spreaders ; 14 x 8 Williams White 16 opening hot press ; | 4 x 8 cold press; I Yates

American 8 drum sander; 2 Skoog pluggers; plus the usual edging and trimming equipment as well as patching and veneer edge machines.

Concerning their product, F. L. Foval, manager of Factory Sales, has this to say: "Ponderosa Pine plywood has properties rvhich make it particularly desirable for use in the exacting requirements of millwork, door panels, and core for fine overlays. The machining qualities which permits the securing of smoother, better appearing edges makes Ponderosa Pine plywood particularly suited for kitchen cabinet doors. Its resistance to grain raising has made it equally adaptible with hardwoods as a core for fine plastic overlays at a considerable saving in cost. Lumber dealers find it highly desirable as paneling material to match Ponderosa pine interior trim. It has be,come an important material for use in homes as well as for industrial rtses. "

Mod ern Plant of Coraltex, Inc. Has Had Rapid Growth Since its Establishment in 1940

Coraltex, Inc., manufacturer of the widely known Coralite, Coralether, and Handityle, with factory at 812 East 59th Street. Los Angeles, has had a remarkable growth since the company was incorporated, July D, 1940. It is a 'n.holly orvned subsidiary of Dant & Russell, Inc., Portland.

The manufacture of these products from Masonite tempered Industrial Grade "S2S" hardboard was started in a small factory in Pasadena. Business increased and the plant rvas moved to its present location in 1942, into a 15,000 square-foot addition to the warehouse of Fir-Tex of Southern California.

In 1946 a second addition to the plant was built, giving Coraltex a total of 25,000 square feet, with Fir-Tex occupying the other 25,000 feet in the building.

The most modern automatic equipment was installed in the expanded plant, superseding the old single spray booth of the original factory with its hand sanding and hand spraying. In that setup the panels were then put into a waiting room ,by hand, put by hand into the oven, and unloaded by hand just like an old-fashioned bakery handles its loaves of bread.

On the Block-face and Streamline panels all score lines are put in before the panel is coated. The score lines are shallow and 'ivell rounded so that they receive the same amount of coating as the Plain board.

The material used for the undercoat is baking alkyd, and for the finishing, melamine and urea, which are a thermo-setting plastic that must go through varying degrees of heat n'ith a high temperature of approximately 400 degrees before setting up and plasticizing, after which the fir-rish is impervious to rvater, so?p, fruit acids, urine, and household bleaches.

In the present factory four big automatic guns in a waters.ashed enclosed spray booth do the spraying. Panels then enter the tipple room and are carried into the oven, which has four levels or decks. The tipple is controlled by an electric eye that automatically puts the panels into different decks.

There are three different zones of heat in the oven, the last being betrveen 385 and 400 degrees. Panels are automatically unloaded and come down the unloader to the trvo automatic wet sanders. All panels are sanded under water. The panels then go automatically from the sanders into a conveyor to the original starting point, and the

\(/estern Pine Shipments Set All-Time Record

Portland, Ore., July l-The following report of second quarter production and shipments of Western Pine Region lumber and lumber products and an estimate of probable third quarter shipments were released today by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine association. Th report covered Idaho white pine, ponderosa pine, sugar pine and associated woods. The statement in full:

"Though spring came a little later than usual in the Western Pine region and expansion of operations in April was delayed, the industry still managed to ship T78 million feet of lumber during the second quarter of this year. This figure is a new all-time record, fully 2O per cent above the previous highs of the 1942 and. 1949 second quarters. Production ol 1943 million feet also set a new record, though not much above the 1911 million board feet produced in the second quarter of 1949.

"Lumber stocks, depleted by heavy winter shipments, 'were increased only 77 million board feet during the quarter. They now total about 1349 million feet, or 364 million less than a year ago. In view of the insatiable demand it is obvious that stocks now are about as low as they can possibly be while the industry is making its present heavy volume of shipments.

"The record levels of both residential and heavy construction started so far this vear have kept lumber demand well ahead of the industry's capacity to produce and ship. Though final figures for May and June are not yet available, there is little doubt that housing starts during the first half of this year will be about 50 per cent ahead of 1949. Even if housing construction tapers off some from now on, last year's record of 1,025,000 nonfarm housing units is pretty sure to be topped by at least 200,000 homes.

"fn view of the present frantic demand and construction already underway, it is virtually certain that shipments during the third quarter, unless the prospects are upset by strikes or unexpected developments in the Korean situation, will be limited only by the industry's ability to produce and ship. Based upon all available irrformation, it nor,v seems probable that, during the third quarter of 1950, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 230C million feet, or nearly 24 per cent above those in the same. 1949 period."

Knew Who Wqs Boss

Every so often the following famous story goes the rounds of the press.

A reporter for one of the Hearst papers was sent to report a religious meeting conducted by a new and sensational evangelist. He was seated in the front row with his notebook and pencil in hand, when the evangelist, who was a woman, pointed straight at him and asked:

"Sir, don't you want to come to Jesus tonight?', "Madam," replied the reporter, ,,I am just here on business, reporting your meeting for my paper.', "Brother'," declared the evangelist, ,.there is no business half as important as God's !"

"Maybe not," reolied the reporter, .,but I'd hate to try and tell that to William Randolph Hearst."

Turn About

"Why don't you read to me, while f sew?" said the wife to her husband who was buried in the evening paper. "f have a hetter idea," replied the surly husband. ,,Why don't you sew to me, while f read?"

Blessed Are Good Friends

Young William James, who later won world fame as a psychologist, held a most devoted friendship for Oliver Wendell Ffclmes, Jr., and wrote him wonderful letters. One he wrote to Ffolmes, said in part:

"I should like to have you opposite me in any mood, whether the facetiously excursive, the metaphysically d.iscursive, the personally confidential, or the jadedly cursive and argumentative- so that the oyster shells which enclcse my being might slowly turn open on their rigid hinges under the radiation, and the critter within loll out his dried-up gills into the circumfused ichor of life, till they grow so fat as not to know themselves again."

If you don't think that's talking big time English, Brother, just read it over again. James wrote another time to Holmes in this fashion: "You are the one emergent peak to which I cling when all the rest of the world has sunk beneath the wave."

Why I Love You

"I love you, not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what 14ou have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. f love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me, and for laying firm hold of the possib.ilities of the good in me. f love you because you have done more than any creed r,r'ould have done, to make me happy. you have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it just by being yourself, and perhaps after all that is what being a friend means."-F'-lizabeth Ferguson von Hesse.

Reveille In Hecrven

(Written by Corporal Dana A. Schnittkind, who was with Patton's Third Army.)

All the heroes of the nation will be gathered for the sight, When the Author of Creation sunders daylight from the night. When the final bugle summons they will gather from afar; He will read out their promotions, pin on each a morntng star. And the whirling of the planets will be music of the band When the Universe Commander takes the great reviewing stand.

Then the winds will play an anthem that will echo through the sky

And the banners of the sunrise will dip low as they go by. Why, there's Master Sergeant Johnny, with his crutches thrown away.

Eyes right ! Mrs. Miller's Joseph, he was killed at Buna Bay. Doughboys lost in grimy foxholes from Matruth to St. Nazaire, Booby-trapped in reeking cellars, every mother's son was there !

There're a thousand from Tarawa and the gang from Kwajalein; There the battle-scarred battalions rose from Hill Six Hundred Nine. Here are Merril's grim marauders, blood wounds washed There's the valiant st. Lo major, rlr;l.,ff;il"fl"li*' pass in review. Here the boys who held one acre in a skirmish without name,

Here is 90007-heaven knows him just the same !

Rank on rank of marching thousands, tramping over heaven's sod, Captains, privates, sergeants, colonels-all pass equal before God.

They wear ribbons from the sunset, they wear medals of the suns, And the thunder and the lightning fash salute from heaven's guns.

They go marching, marching, marching, Through the vistas of the skyThey go marching en felgyslYANKEE SOLDIERS NEVER DIE.

One of Douglas fir plywood's main sales advantages for interior paneling, storage units and other home uses is the wide variety of interior finishing effects that can be obtained. Because it is real wood, plyrvood's warm interesting grain pattern affords the pleasant, vibrant beauty which only real wood can impart. Plyrvood can be given virtually any finish; it can be painted, enameled, papered or stained. For interior wall paneling, horvever, tl-re cheerful, new light stain finishes are most popular. Belorv are procedures for simple, yet attractive finishes, designed to mellow the grain contrast yet preserve the natural beauty of the wood.

Some manufacturers market .clear or natural stain wax that may be used to retain natural wood appearance or can be tinted with colors in oil.

Finishing Exterior Plywood

Field observations, exposure fence studies, and Weathermeter tests all indicate that the best paint system for Exterior plywood siding or for any plywood exposed to weather, is the same as for ordinary wood siding.

The high-grade exterior house paints of either TLZ (titaniumJead-zinc) formulations or straight white lead and oil give excellent service on plywood. IJse-records indicate the TLZ paints tend to have more lasting appearance qualities, although the white lead and oil paints give equal protection and after weathering usually provide a superior surface for repainting.

During construction, all edges of plywood should be sealed with a heavy application of a high-grade exterior house primer, aluminum paint, or heavy lead and oil paint. (FHA recommendations for paint for sealing edges are: 100 pounds white lead paste, ltl gallons raw linseed oil and 1 pint dryer, mixed and applied without thinning.) This applies alike to exposed edges (if any) and edges of panels that are lapped or butted even if to be covered with moldings.

The initial or prime coat is the most important. 'fhis should be applied as soon as possible after erection. It should be b:ushed on thoroughly. Subsequent coats may be brrrshed on or sprayed; they should follow as closely as conditions permit.

In unusually damp locations, or where unusual humidity conditions are to be experienced, the plywood panels should be back-primed during construction.

Basic Three-Coat

System for Exterior Painting

1. The initial or pri'me coat. This is most important coat. Use a high-grade exterior primer thinned with at least one pint of pure raw linseed oil per gallon of paint; apply with brush; Or use a high-grade exterior aluminum house paint, or an aluminum primer compounded from lfi to 2 pounds aluminum paste or powder in one gallon of long oil spar varnish, mixed just prior to application to obtain optimum leafing characteristics. Greater opacity of the finish coats or an additional coat, especially if white, may be required to completely mask an aluminum primer.)

Other Finishes

Textured or stucco-type finishes are feasible by application of materials specially designed to obtain these efiects. Synthetic resin or oil-base paints containing mineral particles, asbestos fiber, etc., as part of the pigment have proved popular and in most cases quite satisfactory. Follow manufacturer's recommendations; remember importance of initial or prime coat.

The Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Wash., has printed suggested finishing procedures fbr interior plywood paneling and exterior siding. Single copies or small quantities are available free of charge.

Milpak Grade Rules Ready For NHLA Committee

Washington, June 15-At a conference held June 1 in the Chicago headquarters of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, Chief Inspector William H. Nelson of N.H.L.A. and J. L. Stearns of the Timber Engineering Company completed the final draft of a proposed grade rule for Milpak, the new convenient packaged hardwood lumber developed from low grade material. This will be presented to the NHLA Inspection Rules Committee which meets in Chicago June 29 and 30.

The new grade rules define the minimum cutting sizes, required average size of Milpak pieces and minimum quality standards with respect to number, size, and type of defects permissible. It covers both kiln dried and air dried stock as well as bundling requirements.

John W. McClure, secretary-manager of the National Hardwood Lumber Association and others on his staff predicted that Milpak will find markets in which hardwood lumber has not previously entered as extensively as it should.

The Research Laboratory of the Timber Engineering Company has been engaged by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association Hardwood Research Committee {or the past two years on the Milpak project. A 5 day training course on Milpak and the utilization of low grade hardwoods is being conducted at the Washington, D. C. Laboratory. Reservations are now being taken for the third course scheduled for week of August 21.

For further information on Milpak, or low grade hardwood utilization write C. A. Rishell, Director of Research, Timber Enginering Company, Washington 6. D. C.

Haley Bros., wholesale distributors of windows, doors, plywood, and moulding, are distributors of the widely known Nicolai Vertigrain hollow. core flush doors.

A feature of the core design of the Vertigrain door is that at each of the intersections of the members making up the grid there are vents permitting the free flow of air from one cell to another, and through a groove in each stile, to the outer air. This allows equalization of temperature and humidity of the air within the door with that of the room.

Frank B. Connolly spoke on the Philippine Mahogany situation pointing cut that the demand and supply had completely reversed themselves from a year ago. He stressed present heavy demand and dr.opping production which had resulted in an acute shortage of Philippine Mahogany for distribution in this country

Sectional reports on business conditions were made by Bob Sullivan, San Diego; E. G. Reel and Fred Smales, Los Angeles; K. E. MacBeath and Bob Kahn, San Francisco; Leonard Hall, Portland; Dallas Donnan, Seattle and L. B. Culter, Vancouver.

Jack Davidson inquired whether Japanese produced plywood was being imported. It developed that some Japanese plywood was being brought into the country but these shipments fell under the category to date of sample shipments only.

Hamilton von Breton announced that another Inspection School would be sponsored this year by the Industrial Lumbermen's Club of Southern California. As ex-president of the Club, he also reported on the Club's activities last year.

A motion was carried instructing the president to write a letter to Virgil Leach, requesting that he arrang.e to put on the agenda of the National Wholesale Hardwood Dis-

tribution Yard Association a recommendation that the responsibilitiy for kiln drying should be for the account of the mills rather than the buyer.

Tuesday Session

The annual election of officers for the coming year was held.

Frank Connolly reported at some length upon the plans being prepared by the Procurement Office of the Army Engineers in St. Louis for the control of the hdrdwood lumber industry in the event of the present cold war becoming a hot war. He recommended to those members who had not already read it, an article in the June 1, 1950 issue of the Southern Lumberman on this important subject.

Among the highlights of the social activities of the convention was the ski lift ride to the top of 8000-foot Mount Baldy. Two luncheons were held for the ladies, one at Trail Creek Cabin, the other on the Terrace of the Lodge. From the hotly contested struggle for the golf trophy, Bobbie Byrne emerged the victor. Bob Kahn presented a badge of distinction to "Bud" Radditz for bravado beyond the call of duty in recognition of his efforts on the skating rink, and Harriett Cooper nominated Larry Culter as the most unfortunate fisherman of the year. Mable Kahn drew the door prize.

The convention was climaxed on the last evening with a banquet at Trail Creek Cabin. Retiring president Bruce Mclean made a short talk after which the group enjoyed dancing.

Three New Pamphlets Available

-A, series of three new pamphlets has been prepared b;thc Public Relations Department of the National lletail Lumber Dealers Association for distribution to the public bv its members.

One pamphlet, entitled "Taxes Can Come Down," informs the public that taxes constitute one-third of the cost of a nerv home and take about 30 cents out of every family dollar. It points out that Congress will reduce taxes if the voters insist that extravagance in government be eliminated.

The second, entitled "No Charge for the Extras," presents a list of valuable services which retail lumber dealers perform in the public interest, in addition to performing the necessary function of assembling and selling materials r.reecled for construction. It is designed to convince the

the other being at Samoa, California. These mills have a great acreage of virgin timber behind them, and they are also engaged in scientific reforestation of timber on a large acreage of cutover land. The indications are that the Hammond mills 'ivill be operating at least fifty years hence.

In addition to the Hammond plant, the visitors were shown through the plywood manufacturing plant of the Eureka Plyrvood Company, and the wire-bound box plant of the California Barrel Company, both very large and modern institutions.

From L. G. Mclnroe, president of the Northwest California Lumbermen's Club, the visitors received a wealth of information con,cerning timber, mills, and forestry in Humboldt County. He told them that not only have the mills increased from 24 belore the war to more than 200 today, but other important changes have taken place. More Fir than Redwood is now being produced in the county. Sarvmills have replaced much farm land throughout the area. Much scientific reforestation rvork is being dcne in the county.

reader that the dealer is a highly valuable, necessaiy, and efficient factor in community life.

The third pamphlet, entitled "The Truth About Housing," tells of the tremendously fine job the private building industry has done in providing new homes and answers the rnajor charges which have been made by those who seek to undermine public confidence in the building industry.

Copies of the pamphlets are available from the National at a cost of $2.00 per hundred copies. The pamphlets will be imprinted ivith the name and address of the dealer at a cost of $5.00, regardless of the total number ordered.

Consisting of six pages each, the pamphlets are printed in one color and are attractively illustrated. Orders should be sent to The National Building Material Dealers Service Corporation, 302 Ring Building, Washington 6. D.C.

New Regulations Applying to FHA And VA Insured Loan Fees and Charges

Veterans Administration and the Federal Housing Administration have taken joint action to eliminate excessive fees and charges in connection with the construction of housing financed w-ith the aid of government guarantees or insurance under the GI Bill and the National Housing Act, it was announced today.

Acting under authority recently granted in the Housing Act of 1950. FHA Commissioner Franklin D. Richards and VA Administrator Carl R. Gray, Jr., have established limitations on such charges, effective July L7, 1950.

In setting the schedule of maximum fees, both agencies worked closely with Administrator Raymond M. Foley, of the Housing and Home Finance Agency.

The new regulations apply both to construction loans and the permanent financing of new homes with credit aids provided by GI loans guaranteed by VA, or FHAinsured loans. A certificate will be required from the builder or the lender, and in some cases from both, that no fees in excess of the maximums have been paid or imposed.

The new regulations will apply only to applications for VA's reasonable value or for FHA commitments received in VA or FHA ofifices on or after July 17,1950.

The maximum interest rate on construction money advanced to builders under the schedule is set at 5 per cent. In addition, the lender making the construction loan will be permitted to charge up to 2l/z per cent of the amount of the funds advanced as a service charge to cover costs of supervision, making periodic advances, clearance of liens, and other overhead.

Where the lender financing the construction also finances the mortgage loan of the purchaser, no additional service charge in conne.ction with the latter loan is permitted. Where the permanent loan is made by a lender other than the institutions advancing the .construction loan, a flat fee previously authorized, which may not exceed 1 per cent, will continue to be allowed.

In addition to the permissible service charge, the builder also may be required to pay certain other miscellaneous expenses, such as recording fees and those paid for appraisals and inspections.

In annouricing the new fee schedule, Commissioner Richards and Administrator Gray said that excessive charges in connection with construction loans for FHA and VA financed housing had become a serious problem in some areas of the country. The new restrictions are intended to curb such practices.

This production, according to John O'Hara Harte, managing secretary of the Fir Door Institute. Tacoma. is at an annual rate of 11,160,000 doors.

Find Samples of Redwood Trees At 1100-Foot Level

Frank Wells, Inglewood retail lumberman and Rotarian, sent us recently a copy of The Rotary Sentinel, published rveekly by the Inglewood Rotary Club. It carried an interesting article on the Sequoia Sempervirens by the Rotary Club's president, Einar C. Matson.

In the artcle he refers to a well that George Chambers Sr.. superintendent of Inglewood Park Cemetery had drilled in tl-re cemetery being in need of more water for irrigation. At the 1100-foot level, he found many samples of redwood trees. Mr. Matson says, "This is just another local link in the history of the redwoods, which at one time dominated the Inglewood area."
