The California Lumber Merchant - July 1951

PHITIPPINE MAHOGANY SIDING

Long exposure to wind, rain and extreme ranges of temperature have little efiect on this light, strong wood. Highly resistant to rot, decay and weathering, it has the ability to retain its color, shape and form, for years, under the severest conditions. No more conclusive proof of the superiority of Philippine Mahogany for exterior use is needed than the general acceptance accorded it by the boating industry. Naval Architects and boat builders insist on this great wood for planking, decking, and trim.

If you want the best, choose Philippine Mahogany for exterior doors, siding and trim.

molprn SELECTIVE IOGGING

At th" Oakridge, Oregon, operations of Pope & Talbot, Inc., about 150 miles southeast of Portland, there is followed a pattern carefully planned by competent foresters covering rate, meth' ods and sequence of cutting, reproduction and planting, inrect and disease control, fire reduction, road systems and standards of utilization.

Under the saggered unit-area cutting system tim' ber is removed from suitable areasr averaging about 80 acres per unit, leaving adjacent timber standing. "Leave strips" separate each cutting area. These

leave strips are generally similar in size to the adja' cent unit harvested. After a period of perhaps 20 years some of the original leave strips will be logged.

Logging is carried out on both company'ormed and forest service lands without differentiation of systems for either type of ownership. In other words, the company is harvesting its own timber on the same standards as the government's.

The cutting rotation is planned on the basis of from 80 to 100 years. There will always be forests providing timber for the people of America.

As the late Robert Dollar lay dying, in 1932, he called his three sons to him and showed them the Stars and Stripes unfurled, and under it the Dollar Flag. He read to them from the Bible, then pointed to the flags and said: ,,ye'll keep them both flyin', lads.',

I am writing this piece on the Fourth of Juty. And for. two days I have been reading dozens of my lavorite patri_ otic selections, from a variety of my favorite books and collections. Wish I had space to reprint a bunch of them. If there is any one thing we need, that our minds cry for in these days when sordid politics seem to reign supreme, it is to soak our souls in patriotic words of men who thrill and stimulate us.

From my scrapbook let me quote a short paragraph fr,om the thoughts of Woodrow Wilson; one thai at*ays strikes home to me. Wilson said: ..you do not need Wishington. There is genius enough in this country to master the enterprise of the world. When I hear Americans begging to be -assisted by the Governmen! I wonder wtrere*Ifre| were born? f wonder how long they have breathed thl air of America? I wonder where their papers of spiritual naturalization are?',

Thomas Jefferson once said with great emphasis: ,,I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philoso_ ph5 in politics, or in anything else, where I -." caiable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the lasi degre_ dation of a free and moral agent. IF. I COULD NOT -GO TO HEAVEN BUT WITH A PARTY I WOULD NOT GO THERE AT ALL."

Wonder what Jefferson would say could he be here on this Fourth of July? Matters of inestimable importance are being debated; matters so grave that the lives of mil_ lions of young men may depend on the right judgments being arrived at; the very fate of civilization, of all that we hold dear may be hanging in the balance. And what happens after the trial has been made and the evidence of-such yi-ta,l character presented? Just one thing-one fearful, frightening thing. They take a vote, and the votes on which eternity itself may depend are cast strictly on the party line. Somewhere there must be the weighty factor of -right and wtong, of justice or injustice in such matters. But no ! Vote her straight ! Nothing matters but to stick to the party line ! Doesn't that fact frighten you, you lovers of America?

Can you imagine the immortal Washington voting nothing but some political party lirie? Can you imagin. f_ir,- coln settling the fate of the world in such fashion? Can you possibly believe that any of these men would have given even a thought to the matter of politics when pass_ ing judgment on vital matters of patriotism and Americanism? Brann the fconoclast said this of Washington: ,,He belongs to no section, to no p,arty. He was truly an American, pre-eminently a patriot. The nobility of his character was his very owri i the dazzling splendor of his undying fame is the brightest jewel in Columbia's crown of giory, for it was born of a dauntless valor and nurtured wiih the priceless blood of a people whom kings could not con_ quer, nor sophists deceive., *

On this anniversary of the day when the Declaration of Independence c:une into existence, it might be well to wonder what would have happened had those 56 patriotic and fearless men who signed it been given to the same type of thinking that prevails in Washington today? There was nothing about those signatures to indicate the political beliefs of the signers, as there would be with absollte certainty if we were doing it today. Those men did not vote the party line. If they had, there never would have been any United States of America !

They were very radical, those fifty-six signers, and what they were doing on that Fourth of July was world-shaking. So being men of wisdom as well as logic, they started in by giving their reason for what they were doing. In the introductory paragraph of the Declaration they said that "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." They were starting a rebellion, so they wanted the world and posterity to know how come.

Then, as all of us know but oftentimes some of us_like myself-forget, the Declaration laid down four truths held to be self-evident. They are: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty. and the pur_ suit of happiness; that governments derive their just pow_ ers from the consent of the governed; and last, that an oppressed people have the right of revolution. Some of the genius that animated Lincoln when he wrote his Gettys_ burg Address must have permeated the minds of the writers of those terse and trem*endous charges.

The third part of the Declaration makes up more than half of the entire document, and enumerates lg charges, "acts of oppression," aimed at the British King, each charge

starting with the words-'.He has, etc.,' Then there are nine other charges of more general character, making a total of 27 indictments brought against the King and his government.

ft remains for Part 5 of the Declaration to state the gist and meat of the entire matter, .as follows: ..That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connec_ tion between them and the State of Great Britain is and ought to be totally, dissolved.,, Those are the exact words of the resolution that R. H. Lee introduced into the 2nd Continental Congress on June 7th, L?76. They are considerably different from Jefferson's original wording of this paragqaph, as may be seen in the rough draft of the Decla_ ration. But the Lee resolution went unchanged into Jeffer- son's final draft of the great pxap€r.

I suppose that in my lifetime I have read or heard more tftan a hundred eulogies concerning the Declaration of fndependence and the Fourth of July. My choice among them all is one that Col. Robert G. fngersoll, delivered

at a Fourth of July celebration, and I shall quote from here to the end of this piece, from the opening paragraphs of his long oration. This should thrill you, folks. There have been no orators in this nation since fngersoll to compare with him, until Douglas MacArthur came along. This is fngersoll, * I

"The Declaration of Independence is the grandest, the bravest, the profoundest political document that was ever signed by the representatives of a people. It is the embodiment of physical and moral courage. I say of physical courage because it was a declaration of war against the most powerful nation then on the globe; a declaration of war by thirteen weak, unorganized colonies, a declaration of war by a few people without military stores, without wealth, without strength, against the most powerful kingdom on the earth; a declaration of war made when the British navy-at that day the mistress of every sea-was hovering along the coast of America, looking for defenseless towns and villages to ravish and destroy.

"It was made when thousands of English soldiers were on our soil, and when the principal cities of America were in the possession of the enemy. And so I say it was the bravest political document ever signed by man. And if it was physically brave, the moral courage of the document is almost infinitely beyond the physical. They not only had the courage but they had the almost infinite wisdom to declare that all men are created equal. With one stroke of the pen they struck down all the cruel, heartless barriers that aristocracy, that priesthood, that kingcraft had raised between man and *lr. *

"They struck down with one immortal blow that infamous spirit of caste that makes a God almost a beast, and a beast almost a God. With one word, with one blow, they wiped away and utterly destroyed all that had been done by centuries of war-<enturies of hypocrisy, centuries of injustice.

"What more did they do? They then declared that each man has a right to live. And what does that mean? It means that he has a right to make his own living, the right to breathe the air, to work the land, that he stands the equal of every other human being beneath the shining stars, entitled to the product of his labor-the labor of his hand and of his brain. What more? That every man has the right to pursue his happiness in his own way. GRANDER WORDS THAN THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN BY MAN.''

Oregon-American Gives Wood Study Large San Francisco Attendance Greets Kits to Schools Snark Lynn Boyd and Secretary Springer

Washington, D.Q.-"Jhis week the Wood Study Kit was put in use and we are exceedingly happy rvith the results," stated Elementary Superintendent Paul A. Gordon of Vernonia, Oregon, public -schools, in a recent letter to President Judd Greenman of the Oregon-American Lumber Corporation.

This is typical of the way lumber companies are helping educate young people in their home to*'ns in the knowledge of wood. Some 2,500 kits are now being enjoyed by men, women and young people. Many of these kits were given complimentary by lumber companies in their public relations work.

The kit is much more than a box of u.ood samples. It is a combination of 54 specimens of various species of wood and wood products in common use, the tools necessary for their minute examination, and an S4-page Manual that will prove equally informative and enjoyable to forestr;r and science students, practicing foresters, teachers, industrial rvorkers, Scout troops, 4-H clubs, hobbyists, and all others with a bent tor'vard woodcraft or rvoodworking in any of its many forms.

Kits rnay be obtained at a price of $8.50 per kit, delivered to any point in the continental U. S., from the Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th St., N.W., Washington 6, D.C., an affiliate of the National Lunllter Manufacturers Association.

No other redwood can compare with the high uniform quality of Palco Redwood. Quality control starts at the headrig and carries right through each step in the mill and manufacturing process. Logs are selectively cut to secure the finest texture and grain. Scientific air drying is followed by carofully regulated kiln seasoning. Mechanized handling eliminates mars, scars and blemishes. Complete and thorough inspection and grading by experienced experts, after running to pattern, eliminates flaws and imperfections-and insures more uniformly even grade. This unequalled efficiency assures Premium quality-at no premium in price. There's no better buy-no better quality than Palco Redwood, the finest that's produced.

"ft is not for us to attempt to reason the ,why' of such events but rather to accept them with grace- All the words we command are totally inadequate for comfort. Wc must seek solace in the Good Booi< and assuage the tug at our heart strings, which \^re so keenly feel. iNever the less, not my will, but Thine, be done., We stand here today to pay tribute to a grand fellow.

."In every organization, there are always a few persolls w_h-o will gladly do things; who will assume the respon_ sibility of a duty and who will carry that responsilitity

through to fruition. Such a person was our friend, Bobby Byrne.

"A loyal member of this Association, whose presence today is sorely missed and we miss the benefit of his sound logic, his helping hand and even his ready wit. This Association is better for having knolvn our friend, Bobby Byrne.

"fn his home life, he was a loving and kind husband. He was a loving and kind father. His friends were legion. His handshake was warm. What, of greater importance, could be said of a man ?

"Because the thoughts herein above expressed are the sentiments of this assembly, we therefore, "Resolve that: the context of this preamble, ancl this resolution, be made a permanent part of the record of the minutes of this Association.',

Chas. B. Lyons Joins Russ Castell & Associates

Two veteran Lumbermen pooled their resources last week when Chas. B. Lyons joined Russ Castell & Associates merging their sales organizations and procurement staffs to service retail lumber yards at the wholesale level.

Charlie started his lumber career over thirty years ago in the sawmill country in Northern California and Oregon. Working his way through the various logging operations he latei became an expert pine grader and came to Southern California in 1972 to enter the sales promotion of lumber and forest products. For the past fifteen years he has operated his own wholesale lumber company ofiering his products throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, T"*u, and the Middle West.

With the merging of the two firms their complete wholesale service to mill operators, remanufacturers and retailers will be expanded and they will specialize in the distribution of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine, Douglas Fir, Redwood-in fact all Pacific Coast forest products.

Distribution yards and general offices will be maintained at 7159 Anaheim-Telegraph Road, Los Angeles, and truck, carload or LCL shipments will be offered the retail dealers.

Change in Grade Name

Builders Grade, the name for ft-inch thick Forest Board is being changed to Standard Grade, it is announced by Forest Fiber Products Company, Forest Grove, Oregon. The change is being made to bring a uniformity in product names.

All untreated Forest Board is now called Standard Grade regardless of the thickness of the panel. The controlled manufacturing process which produces a uniform light color for tl-re three thicknesses, /g-inch, 3/16-inch and rf-inch requires a uniform name for simplification. The name Standard Grade has applied b rrt-inch and 3/16-inch Forest Board since its introduction and it will now be applied to rl-inch.

The uniformity of name will make it easier for the dealers to identify when selling and the contractors and architects when ordering, the company announced. Forest Board is a Hardboard panel made of Douglas fir in both Standard grade and weather resistant Treated Grade.

Plywood Compcny Shortens Compcrny Ncme

A proposal to shorten the company name to GeorgiaPacific Plywood Co. was approved by 85 per cent of the stockholders of the Georgia-Pacific Plywood & Lumber Co.

Victor Olson, president and director of Washington Veneer Corporation, Olympia, Wash., and a pioneer in the Douglas fir plywood industry. was elected a GeorgiaPacific director. The Olympia mill is a subsidiary of Georgia-Pacific.

Western Pine Production Steady In Second Quarter, Shipments Off

Portland, June 30-The following report of second quarter, 1951, production and shipments of Western Pine region lumber and lumber products and estimate of probable third quarter shipments were released today by W. E. Grifiee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine association, Portland. The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Associated Woods. The statement in full:

"Both the production and the shipments of lumber from the Western Pine region held close to record levels through May and then, judging by preliminary reports, broke rather sharply below the booming rates that prevailed all through 1950. Nevertheless second quarter production of 2,198 million board feet was only .5 per aent below the 1950 second quarter and production for the entire first half of the year was up 8.5 per cent.

"second quarter shipments were 1,997 million feet, down 6.7 per cent from last year but still considerably above the volume expected at the beginning of the quarter. Shipments for the first six months o{ the year were down 1.9 per cent from 1950.

"Failure of the industry's shipments to taper off as soon as anticipated is due largely to the unexpectedly large volume of residential construction. The comparison of this year's non-farm housing starts with last year's all-time record has been less favorable each month. May starts of 97,000 units fell nearly 35 per cent below May, 1950 and yet total starts for the first six months will exceed 500,000. By comparison with any year except 1950 this number would be considered excellent.

"In spite of the fact that both orders and shipments slipped rather badly during June, there are reasons for thinking the demand won't decrease much more. It was well known that many retailers accumulated more stocks than they should have during last fall and winter, perhaps in anticipation of lumber shortage. Later they reduced their buying in order to work off exceSs stocks and then, as mill prices softened, were in no hurry to order more lumber. Thus a period of slow demand was an almost certain result of last fall's binge of speculative buying. Many other industries are having a similar experience.

"If rearmament work continues as now- planned, the I'overnment expe'cts to make direct purchases of 1.8 billion feet during the fiscal year starting July 1. Arms manufacturers who have been retooling for quantity production should be stepping up their output rather rapidly and using much more lumber as a result. In case the Russians a.re really in earnest about their current "peace offensive" the use of lumber by the government and arms manufacturers will not increase as fast as expected. That happy event would cause some shift back to housing, likely with loosened credit restriction.

"Based on such factors and all other available information, it now seems probable that during the third quarter of 1951 shipments (consumption) of lumber will approximate 2,000 million feet. This figure is approximately equal to second quarter production and is 15 per cent under the third quarter of 1951."

Quinquereme lrom Nineveh!

If there is one thing more than another calculated to add to the gaiety of nations in these hard times. it is the whimsicality of the softwood market. Everyone, as Jimmy Durante is wont to say, everyone is trying to get into the act. The Finns sell wood to the Argentine, the Brazilians sell wood to us. Moreover, the Dutch, not to be outdone, sell Swedish wood to us, too. No doubt the Brazilians rvili go one better and sell Parana pine to the Swedes, who will sell it to the French N{aritime pine shippers, who will sell it to us just in time to have their export licences cancelled. But that may not happen for a few weeks yet.

Orders for Most MaterialsrCan Be Filled Promptly, Says Fulton

Washington, D. C., June 17-Supplies of lumber and other building materials in the hands of retail dealers are considerably higher than a year ago in most localities, Clyde A. Fulton, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated.

"Orders for most materials can be filled promptly at the present time, although local shortages of a few item.s such as cement, wall board, and nails are reported in some areas." I\[r. Fulton said.

"The decline in ner,v home building in many urban districts has been offset to some extent by an increased amount of residential repair and modernization.

"The drop in home building is attributed both to the scarcity of mortgage funds, at some points, and to the operation of Credit Regulation X which requires higher down payments from prospective home owners.

"One by one building products which were under allocation a few months ago have come into plentiful supply, as production has been maintained at a high level while building volume was declining.

"fn general, materials are ample'for anyone wanting to undertake any type of building not prohibited under the defense production program. However, considerable time often is required to obtain construction permits for commercial and industrial projects."

Camp Roberts Area Designated Critical Area for Housing

The Camp Roberts area in California has been designatecl a critical defense area for housing, and creclit controls will be relaxed to help provide l-rousing for in-migrant families of military and civilian personnel stationed or employed at the Camp.

The designation was made by the Defense Productiorr Administration on findings of the DPA's inter-agency Critical Areas Committee.

Pursuant to this designation, and r,vith the concurrencc of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Systenr, the Housing and Home Finance Agency announced that credit cont:ols will be relaxed on 25O units of housing irr the area to help relieve the housing shortage there.

The acute housing shortage in the area grows out of tht: reactivation of Camp Roberts as an Army training center, which has placed a severe strain on communities in the area. The Camp is located three miles from the town of San Miguel, 12 miles from Paso Robles and 23 miles from Atascadero.

Programmed for the area under the relaxed credit terms are 190 rental units and 60 sales units. Of the rentals, 35 will be one-ltedroom rvith a maximum shelter rent of $60. 140 of tr.vo-bedroom rvith a top rent of $67.50, and 15 of three-bedroom rvith a $75 maximum rent. The 60 sales units will consist of 50 two-bedroom houses witl-r a maximum sales price of $8,500 and 10 of three-bedrooms rvith :'. maximum sales price of $9,500.

"The housing programmed for relaxed controls does not reflect total housing demand in the area but rather is limited by the ability of the communities in the area to absorb permanently the type of housing needed," Administrator Itaymond M. Foley of the Housing and Home Finance Agency said. "This represents the maximum assistance that can be given under existing legislation."

Terms of the relaxation are the same as those for areas in u'hicl-r credit restrictions rvere previouslv relaxed. Veterans using loans guaranteed by the Veterans Administration receive more favorable terms than non-veterans who buy ' or build with Federal Housing Administration-insured or non-Government aided loans. Tables showing those terms -for FHA-insured, or VA-guaranteed and non-Governrnent-aided loans-rvill be furnished to lending institutions in the area upon request at the Los Angeles office of FHA, r,vhich will administer the program.

Builclers rvho 'rvish to build rental or sale housing unde;the relaxed controls may obtain forms and other additional information from the Los Angeles office of the FHA, which will be ready to accept applications on July 10, 1951.

Initial approval of applications may be limited to 20 nnits for rent and l0 units for sale for any one applicant. The applicant may, however, apply for additional units which u'ill be considered for approval in order of receipt of application in case the initial distribution does not exhaust the quotas.

Up to 1O units of the sales quota will be days for individual defense workers rvho single units for their orvn occupancy.

A Memory System

Forget each kindness that you do, As soon as you have done it; Forget the praise that falls on you, The moment you have won it; Forget the slander that you hear, Before you can repeat it; Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer Wherever you may meet it.

Remember every kindness done To you, whate'er its measure; Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure; Remember every promise made, And keep it to the letter; Remember those who lend you aid, And be a grateful debtor.

Hubbard on Health

"People who strive for health are headed for the sanitarium, for vitality plus comes only to those who do not think about it; and character likewise is evolved best by those who forget character and lose their lives in service. Dyspeptics are people who have no faith in their digestive apparatus."-Elbert Hubbard.

Herbert Spencer's Philosophy

Herbert Spencer, the great English philosopher and naturalist, taught that our thinking and our well-being are inseparably allied to one another; that .,as a man thinketh, so is he," is a practical, everyday fact of living and enjoy_ ing life.

He believed that cheerful, happy emotions are compa:able to sunshine on plant growtlr-they create health and harmony and as such are constructive. Good will he de_ clared to be sanitary; kindliness to be hygenic; friendship works for health. These happy emotions secrete, says Spencer, a quality in the blood calted anabolism, which is essentially vitalizing and life-producing.

On the other hand fear, hate, and all emotions of un_ kindliness evolve a toxin which tends to clog circulation, disturb digestion, congest the secretions, and stupify the senses; and aims to the dissolution and destruction of life. He believed that all that embitters, saddens, and disap- points produces a chemical change that makes for disaster, and hurries death.

"A poison," said Spencer, ..is only a concentrated form of hate."

"God feeds the birds; but He doesn't throw the food into their nests."

Never Agcin

Be Your Best

If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, Be the best little shrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can't be a tree; Just the best bush you ever could be.

If you can't be a bush, be a bit of old grass, Along the old road; someone happier make;

If you ban't be a Musky, why then be a bass, Be the liveliest bass in the lake.

'We can't all be captains, we must have a crew, There's something for all of us here;

There's a big work to do, and a lesser to do, And the task we must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway, why then be a trail, If you can't be a sun, be a star;

It is not by your size that you win or you fail, Be the best of whatever you are.

-Douglas Knott.

Los Angeles Building Permits Drop Off in June

The demand for planting stock ,continued to exceed sup- ply in the Douglas fir region during 1950, Mr. Hagenstein reported. A total of 17,116 acres of privately owned land in the region was artificially reforested during the year.

During the.year the the Forest Conservation Committee of Pacific Northwest Forest Industries certified 1l new Tree Farms in Western Oregon and Washington. At the same time six Tree Farm certifications were cancelled for non-compliance with landowner's pledges. One-third of the industrial forestland of the Douglas fir region now is in certified Tree Farms.

Douglas Fir Region Developments Boost \(/ood Utilization

Washington, D. C.-Timber worth half a million dollars was salvaged by relogging operations on industrial Tree l.'arms in the Douglas fir region of Western Oregon and Washington last year.

W. D. Hagenstein, forest engineer for the Forest Consevation Committee of the Pacific Northwest Forest Industries, estimates the salvage added more than 5O million board feet of timber to the inventory of the 55 industrial Tree Farms concerned.

In a recent report to subscribers, Mr. Hagenstein called 1950 the "busiest forestry year in the 125 years of the Douglas fir industry." He pointed to an all-time record high log harvest of about 12 billion board feet which suppl.ied more than one-quarter of the wood needs of the entire country. This forest harvest brought nearly one and a half billion dollars into Western Washington and Oregon during the year.

Developments during 1950 emphasized the increasing trend of more complete wood utilization in the Douglas fir region, tl-re forest engineer declared.

The beginning of construction or actual operation of six hardboard plants srrbsisting primarily on leftovers from other primary manufacturing.

Construction begun on seven new plywood plants, including some designed for partially decayed low grade logs for utility grades of plywood.

llenovation and improvement of several hundred sawmills

of all sizes to furnish more products and.more jobs from a given amount of raw material through closer utilization.

Installation of equipment for the hydraulic barking of logs.

Increased use of pres-to-log machines and the manufacture of pressed wood briquettbs.

The use oI gang saws for utilizing small logs.

Installation of remanufacturing facilities for turning out secondary products like furniture sub-assemblies, box material and laminated wood.

. The use of new wood chipping plants to utilize sawmill and plywood leftovers for pulp chips.

"The ultimate in wood use has by no means been reached," Mr, Hagenstein's report adds, ,,but good markets and successful merchandising of low-grade wood show how the forest industries can continue to contribute to the economy using fewer trees to provide each unit of forest products."

The forest engineer credited the forest industries well organized fire protection program working in cooperation with the state forestry departments and private fire associations with cutting 1950 fire losses for the region to less than half those of the preceding year.

"One couldn't visit private land anywhere in the Douglas fir region between the spring and fall of l95O without running into foresters examining lands for acquisition, inventorying growing stock, planning artificial reforestation, studying fire protection problems, laying out slash burning plans, marking immature stands for thinning, shaping up Tree Farms, or just studying how a specific problem in

Installs Planing Mill To Give Top Service to Dealers

labor-saving features have been incorporated into this plant and good milling is done on a very reasonable basis, rvith a minimum of hand labor.

The Ed Fountain Lumber Co. consists of a partnership of Ed Fountain; Doyle Bader, who acts as sales-manager and general superintendent; Dale Burns, who operates the company's concentration yard and planing mill at Medford, Oregon; Carl Myers, who attends to the accounting and credit work, and Al Young, who is the yard superintend- ent. Five salesmen cover the Southern California dealers thoroughly on Western soft woods, which are the only items the company sells.

Most of the company's business consists of direct-car sales, from mills in Southern Oregon and Northern California to lumber dealers in the Southern California district An additional service is performed by stocking considerable quantities at the Los Angeles distribution yard, where it can be picked up on cluick notice. particular attention has been paid to producing and buying quality lumber, because experience has shown that in the long run dealers prefer it. The Douglas fir from their own planing mill at Phoenix, Oregon is carefully eased-edged, double-end trimmed and sprayed to retard stain. Special care is taken to see that the lumber is bright and in good salable condition when the dealer receives it. The salesmen's names are: Frank Bader, Lloyd Crandall, Rav Klots, Dick Lloyd and Rex Warkentine.

Resqw qnd maicher, each with its own blower system, in-Ieed, and out-feed Iccilities,

With an eye towards improving service to lumbcr deal_ ers. the Ed Fountain Lumbcr Co. has recently ir-rstallcrl a matcher, rvith sorting table, trim-sarvs, and a resau. ir.r the distribution yard at Los Angeles, located at 621g South Hooper Avenue.

A great deal of thought was given to this m..rttcr ancl Doyle Bader, one of the partners, came up u,ith thc iclea of using a partly abandoned rock bunker as a storagc bin for the sawdust and shavings. It is planned that by having ample storage space, the sawdust and shavings can be put to a useful purpose, accomplishing conservation of timler resources, and eliminating the objectionable feature of smog, which is causing so much trouble in this area.

From the pictures there can be seen a tremendous stor_ age capacity for sawdust and shavings in this old rock bunker. The material is elevatecl so that it drops bv gravity into the trucks to be hauled at convenience. Marry

NPA Lifts Cost Limit On New Home,

Washington, July 3-The National Production Authority today withdrew its cost limit of 935,000 on new-home construction and substituted a limitation of 2500 square feet of floor space.

Beyond that size new residences must be approved in advance by NPA before building can begin.

The agency said the restriction on floor space would be more equitable because of .the wide variation in costs of residential construction from one area to another.

The agency tightened slightly its controls affecting store, office, commercial and recreational structures. Previously it permitted the installation of f2000 worth of ,.personal property" not charged against the $5000 exemption. By today's action fixtures and equipment, such as radiators and plumbing fixtures, no longer are considered to be "personal property."'

NPA also made minor changes in connection with its ban on the use of copper and aluminum for decorative places and in building fittings for which other materials can be substituted.

Los Angeles Home Show Attracts Big Crowds

The 6th National Home Show was held at the Pan ljacific Auditorium, Los Angeles, from June 14-24 with more than Z)0,0@ attending during the 1l-day exposition.

The model house, the beautiful Southlander, which was one of the popular attraction of the show is a rustic modern dwelling of two thousand square feet. It consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a lanai easily converted into a -third bedroom, three baths. two patios, a breezeway and a garage with a hobby room. The interior decorations and furnishings were done by pat Sailors of Sloane's and the colors were done by William Manker, nationally famous color consultant. The building was built by the Sentinel Construction Company.

Because of the overwhelming interest in the Southlander, the model home will remain open for the public indefinitely after the closing of the home show. Managing Director Carl F. Kratz declared, "many persons mav not have had an opportunity to inspect the Southlander during the exposition, and many of the thousands who did may want to return and go through it rnore ldisurely.',

The Southlander will be open from 1 :00 p.m. to 1O:00 p.m. daily. The admission price is 75 cents with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

The popular hillbilly comedienne, Judy Canova, along with Russ Morgan and his music makers and a star-studded revue, presented special matinee performances Saturday and Sunday afternoon, in addition to the regular shows at 7 :A0 and 9:00 p.m. nightly.

From the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Home show brought 29 masterpieces by American artists valued at more than $200,000, which were on display. There were over 200 exhibits and displays shou'ing products pertaining to every facet of the American home with the accent on Southern California living.

The accompanying photographs show the exhibits of the U.S. Plywood Corporation, E,. J. Stanton & Son and American Lumber & Treating Co. Roddis California Inc. and Cal Distributing Co. also had attractive exhibits at the show. Photographs are by Warren Hoyt.

The Home Show was sponsored by the 13 Southern California Construction Industries Associations and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
