Roy H. Myers resigned as ma.nager of the Peoples Lumber Company's yard at Oxnard, effective July 10. He was with the company for eighteen years, starting as bookkeeper in the Ventura office in 192L, and was soon advanced to assistant general manager, in which capacity he served for sixteen years. Two years ago he was promoted to manager of the Oxnard yard. He will announce his future plans at a later date.

Seattle, Washington, July 14, 1939.-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in June was 130,433,000 board feet, or 6.2 per cent of the weekly averag'e for 79261929, the industry's year of highest capacity realization. Orders averaged 142,8%,W b.f.; shipments, 133,811,000. Weekly averages for May were: Production, 121,885,000 b.f. (61.9 per cent of the h.c.r. index); orders, 132,064,@A ; shipments, 126,806,000.
First 26 weeks of 1939, cumulative production, 3,056,652,W board feet; same period, 1938,-2,380,637,C00; 1937
-3,446,68,6,W.
Orders lor 26 weeks of 1939 break down as follows : rail, 1,290,890,000 board feet; domestic cargo, 1,233,786,W; export, 228,697,W ; local, 453,803,00O.
The industry's unfilled order file siood at 436,74O,@0 board feet at the end of June; gross stocks, at 950,000,000.
Positive influences on the market position of West Coast lumber in June remained the demand for homebuilding lumber, with public construction the second strongest factor. The main flow of orders from consuming centers was for small sizes.
Negative influences, reflected in the lag of production behind orders in June, were the continued feebleness of the industrial, railroad and export markets, the slowness of private nonresidential construction, and a narrowing outlet for the lower lumber grades.
Unbalanced production was a result of this lopsided market. For example, tidewater mills dependent upon mar-
kets for structural lumber of large sizes and upon export trade, report no prospect for market improvement on the basis of home building demand. Eight large mills in one tidewater production center are entirely closed down.
The outlook for improvement of the industry's general market position is confined to low-cost housing, public construction, and a possible increase in British demand beyond the capacity of British Columbia to supply it. This last factor is also a temporary measure of protection for West Coast lumber in Atlantic Coast markets aga,inst imports from British Columbia. The European situation clouds this phase of the industry with uncertainty. Developments restricting Canadian lumber exports to Great Britain would divert this trade to U. S. outlets. This is one of several prospects that compel a short view of West Coast lumber trends. All lumber markets are affected by world-wide unwillingness to purchase for other than immediate sight demand.
Lumber trend indicators, from reviervs of Federal Reserve Banks dated July 1 : San Francisco: Nerv residential building undertaken in the Twelfth District during April and May, slightly lower than earlier in the year. Boston: Total contracts for all classes of construction declined 18 per cent, compared with May, 1938; with residential building up.

"Figures never lie" emphatically declared the Professor of Mathematics to his class. "Don't they, though," spoke up a lumberman's son. "Then explain these, please. If one man can build a house in 12 days, 12 men ought to be able to build it in one. Right?" "Right" said the professor. "Then" said the lumberman's son, "288 men ought to be able to build it in one hour, 17,280 men should build it in one minute, and 1,036,800 men should build it in one second.
But can they?" While the Professor was still gasping, the boy handed him another. "If one ship can cross the ocean in 6 days, 6 ships should be able to cross it in one day. But can they? And if they can't, then figures WILL lie, won't they?" And he sat down.
Speaking of salesmanship, the young real estate agent showed a prospective home to a man and his wife. She looked about the neighborhood and said: "fleavens ! What a neighborhood ! There's a gas works on one side, a rubber works on another, a vinegar factory on a third, and a glue works on the other. What can you possibly say in favor of such a neighborhood?" "Well," said the real estate salesman, "you can always tell which way the wind's blowing."

"The Federal minimum wage law is a damnable plan for benefiting the strong at the expense of the weak." Thus spoke Dr. Gus Dyer, Professor of Economics at Vanderbilt University, and one of the Old South's most eloquent orators. True, Brother !

In the Homes and Gardens Section of Treasure Island is a charming, five-room bungalow set amid green lawns and shrubbery, and surrounded by a badminton court, a ping pong table, a barbecue pit, a sun court and a sand box for children. This bungalow is "sunshine House," a $6,000 model home.
Labor unions, trade associations, and firms in the construction field took cognizance of their common goals, and pulled together in a concerted effort to stimulate building activity.
The result was "Sunshine lIouse," the constrgction industries' own idea of what the ideal small California home should be-a model of good construction. It is expected to create a strong desire for new homes, to convince the prospective home owner that every dwelling should offer plenty of recreational facilities, and to create a greater "home consciousness" on the part of the thousands who visit the exhibit.
It was with tftese objectives in mind that labor donated the services of its finest skilled craftsmen, and material men do,nated the needed materials, manufacturers and distributors donated services and equipment, and, all working together under the guidance of the Construction Industries Section of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
They had in mind, also, the education of visitors toward easier detection and appreciation of good construction. When visitors enter the house, they see small sections of the walls and floors cut away, featuring the quality construction. "Sunshi,ne House," after its promotional purpose has been served, will be given arvay.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has released to manufacturers, distributors and its rail trade two new basic Differential Lists for the various widths and lengths of Z' dimension, plank and small timbers, and timbers. These Lists succeed Lumber Code Authority Bulletin 30, published in July, 1934, and which has continued in use since the era of minimum prices under N.R.A.
The two Lists are classified as "D-39," which includes dry dimension, green plank and small timbers, and timbers; and as "G-39," which covers green dimension, plank and small timbers, and timbers.
Changes in building practices, a much larger volume of home construction and msdern developments of building design, such as the lowering of ceiling heights, have brought about a need of revamping the differentials in value between West Coast lumber items, which are directly accountable to variations in supply and demand. Lumber Code Authority Bulletin 30 necessarily correlated competitive lumber species. Due to this and to subsequent changes in construction standards, the former Differential List no longer reflects relative values. Use dissatisfaction led to industry desire for reissue.
The new'West Coast Lists are simplified tables of differentials to be applied specifically to West Coast items, and are not price lists. They are subject either to discount as sales instruments of those desiring to sell o.ff a basic list, or may be employed by manufacturers and distributors in issuing their own lists-in this case as a guide to differential value as between widths and lengths.
The Lists were compiled by the Association with the expectation of reissue at intervals of six months. This, the Association believes, will avoid the freezing of discounts caused by long use and consequent reluctance on the part of users to change their buying methods to meet changing conditions. This has been best illustrated by the length of time "Rail B List" outlived its actual period of industry service.
The new Lists are available, at nominal cost, from the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 364 Stuart Building, Seattle, Washington.

The first group of buildings in Wyvernwood, Los Angeles, the largest privately financed multiple housing project in the country, were formally opened to inspection of prospective tenants on July D.
Wyvernwood is an attractive modern village which will house, rvhen completed, a population of approximately 4000. Built on a 72-acre tract a short distance from downtown Los Angeles, the community will comprise 1102 residential units combined into 143 two-story buildings.
There are nine types of structures differing as to plan and the number and arrangement of rooms. They contain from four to twelve apartments each, the apartments consisting of 3 to 6 rooms each. Rentals will range from $31 to a top of $50 per month, including garages.
All the buildings are of wood frame construction n'ith stucco exterior r,r'alls and wood shingle roofs. Pre-cut framing, as advocated by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, is being used throughout. The cutting of all
studding, window and door framing is accomplished at Los Angeles Harbor and shipped to the job in building units, packaged and marked, so that all the carpenter crews have to do is to assemble it on the job. All pieces for one opening are bundled together a.nd marked for the building and opening. Sheathing and subflooring material go four pieces to the bundle and aie trimmed at 45 degree angle for laying diagonally. This trimming is done after bundling with a power saw set at the proper angle. All the units are laid out on templates at the mill. Everything in the framing is cut to length except plates. Porch units, exterior trim and windorv frames, are all given a priming coat at the mill as assembled.
Chromated Zinc Chloride pressure treated Douglas fir lumber is used for all first floor joists and all underpinning and wood members belorv the first floor subfloor for protection against decay and termites. Over 80O,00O board
feet of CZC tteated lumber is being installed in the project..
Consolidated Lumber Co., at Wilmington, is furnishing 8,000,C00 board feet of lumber required for rough framing. 'Ihe CZC treated lumber used was processed for this firm by J. H. Baxter & Co. at its Long Beach pressure treating plant.
Wyvernwood, being one of the largest projects in the West, is providing Califor.nia firms with unusual orders in many building material lines. Some of the quantity figures are 270,0N feet of insulation material, 17,000 sash, 9,000 doors, 90,000 square feet of hardwood flooring, 14,000 square yards of linoleum, 15,000 cubic yards of concrete, half a million square yards of plastering, 3,00O kegs of nails, 28Z,WO pieces ol 2x4 inch, 8-foot studding, and 8,000 squares of red cedar shingles on the roofs.
Construction was organized in five stages : first, the foundations; second, the first floor; third, raising of the walls, stairways and second floor; fourth, construction of roofs ; fifth, setting frames and exterior trim. Separate crews were assigned to each stage. These operations were progressive, starting at the southwest corner of the tract, each crew, as it completed its work on one building, passing on to the next. Work commenced January l6th of this year and approximately 50O workmen have been employed on the project, which is scheduled to be completed the latter part of December, 1939.
The effort throughout the project has been to select materials and equipment which not only 'vvould be durable and require little upkeep cost, but would afford convenient and economical use. The need of offering protection against damage from earthquake and the required basic economy of cost of construction, led to the selection of a type o,f dwelling structure with deep, heavy foundations and unusually strong and well braced timber frames. Pre-cut framing and chemically protected CZC treated substructures are essential features of the frame work adding to its structural stability and eliminating early deterioration of wood by the use of pressure treated material near the ground.
The development, according to John S. Griffith, ma,nager of the D. Herbert Hostetter Estate, owners of Wyvernwood, has no connection with slum clearance projects, but is a privately financed multiple housing plan to meet the needs of persons whose income ranges from $125 to $250 a month.
The total cost, including erection of a business district, will be 6 million dollars of which 3 million dollars repre:sents a Bank of America loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration, the largest FHA loan so far made to a private corporation.
David J. Witmer, F.A.I.A., and Loyall F. Watson, A.I.A., .of Los Angeles, are the architects for Wyvernwood. Lindgren & Swinerton, Inc., are the general contractors.

The subject of this career sketch, Rex Williams, is wholesale salesman for Eureka Sash Door & Moulding Mills of San Francisco. He coveis the California territory from San Luis Obispo to Yreka, and east to Reno, Nevada.
He has had a broad experience including logging, sawmill and lumber yard work in various capacities a,nd many years spent in selling lumber, sash, door and millwork.
Reared in the tall timber in Idaho, near the Montana line, he worked at logging and in sawmills where logging was done with horses and wagons. Driving an automobile in traffic nowadays, he says, is child's play compared with one of his early jobs driving jerk line six head of horses on a one-way mountain road with a big load of green lumber. In those days, he recalls, all who passed by the mill were free to eat and sleep at the company boarding house.
He left sawmill work to engage in surveying and mapping in the early days of railroad competition for new fields in Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Oregon and California. This was followed by a period of U. S. Army service in the executive office of Headquarters Company, Engineer Corps at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.
After this he was with the Southern Pacific Company for a time as valuation engineer and accountant, but returned to the lumber business with the Sunset Lumber Company, Oakland, where he held successive jobs at grading, piling, and as yard clerk, order desk, estimator and salesman.
He was out of the lumber business for a while after leaving Sunset Lumber C ompany. During this time he had a Civil Service appointment as residential appraiser for Alameda county and also worked in the regional office of the Home Owners Loan Corporation.
Returning to his old line of work he became wholesale salesman for National Mill & Lumber Company and Pa-
cific Tank & Pine Company, Oakland, remaining with these concerns until May 1, 1938, w,hen he made his present connection with the well known San Francisco firm. Eureka Sash Door & Moulding Mills.
The accompanying picture of Mr. Williams was taken in the uniform of the famous California Grays, of which he is a member (Oakland Company).
He lives in Oakland, is married and the father of four sons, one of whom is at college and two are in training with the C.M.T.C. at the presidio of Monterey.

Harry McGahey, San Diego Lumber Company, San Diego, spent a few days in San Francisco around the middle of July and took in the Fair.
The Santa Barbara newspaper in its column "Olden Days -Fifty Years Ago-July 3, 1889," carried an item of lumber interest in its issue of July 3. It read: "Lompoc lumber is being hauled to Santa Ynez and Los Olivos at a cost of ten dollars for hauling and sold for four dollars less than the same quality of lumber is selling in the yard in Los Olivos. We never could figure out this lumber business anyway."

Washington, luly 22.-A 7OGton scow, measuring 100 by 36 feet, in which Z/2-inch split ring timber co.nnectors were used, may be seen on Puget Sound every day hauling sand and gravel needed in the construction of the Narrows Bridge at Tacoma, Wash.
The barge is l@/o wood construction and has a depth of ten feet. According to the Foss Tug & Barge Company, of Tacoma, builders, stiffness is a highly desirable quality in a barge. To insure rigidity five hundred Z/2-inch split ring timber connectors were used in the scarfs, longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, and in all bracing.
An incident illustrating the strength carrying capacity of timber connectors occurred when the barge was floated off the ways. It was constructed upside down and after it had been floated at low tide, a line was hooked on from a boom to right the craft. During this operation the boom failed and the barge dropped onto some logs lying in the mud. When the barge was finally tipped over and floated, it was found that no damage had occurred and that the joints were still tight. A similar experience with a previous barge, in which timb.er connectors were not used, resulted in an opening-up of the scarf joints in the planks.
The results obtained with this system of construction have been so gratifying to the Foss Company that they plan to use split rings in the construction of all barges in the future and in the repairing of existing equipment.
Washington, Jaly 24.Log cabin siding in actual use is shorvn advantageously in a booklet on vacation building just issued by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. It is believed, since it is always vacation time somewhere in the United States, that this new and up-to-theminute study of rustic construction will be in great demand wherever progressive lumber dealers are alert to developing new sales opportunities.
Photographs and sketches show interior as well as exterior uses of the siding. The plans offered, cover a complete range of bunk houses, cabins, cottages, small houses for suburban community living, and several photographs of larger buildings illustrate the appearance of log cabin siding in the construction of the country clubhouse and summer hotel.
Pacific Plywood Corporation announces the opening of its plywood factory at Willamina, Oregon, fifty-five miles west and south of Portland, on or about September I,1939.
New and modern equipment now being installed will produce plywood in all commercial grades and thicknesses up to 6O inches i.n width and to 144 inches in length, with an annual production over 8O million feet. Installation of the latest developed hot plate equipment will not be completed until late October or in November. The location of the factory at Willamina was chosen for its accessibility to one of the finest stands of Virgin Old Growth Douglas Fir timber on the Pacific Coast and which will supply them with logs for twenty-five years.

Over in the friendly city of Miami, Arizona, lives a fine and friendly old lumberman named John C' Light. He's been on earth a good while, but his heart is light and his mind is young because he keeps it filled with -youth-provoking thoughts. Besides being a good lumberman he is an enthusiastic Rotarian. Not long since the Rotary Governor of his district prevailed upon John Light to writq a brief sketch of his own career, and he did it in so interesti.ng and loveable a fashion that we feel that it belongs in this lumber journal, read by so many good men who know and love him.
So here is a brief ,fiographical sketch of John C. Light, of the Jo,hn C. Light Lumber Company, Miami, Arizona, written by John
C. Light, Rotarian: Dear Bill:You asked for it, here it is, 82 years after-born March 2,1857, in a log cabin on an Illinois feirm about 100 miles south of Chicago.
The Grand Old Republican party was born about the same time, probably has to do with my affiliation all these years.
Rotary was born many years later in Chicago, probably had to do with my Rotary activities.
Bully old life Bill, bully old world, bully old time I have spent here. I have lived to see our America develop from coast to coast, from Canada on the north to Old Mexico orr the south.
Many things have happened in my 82 years of life, no man ev'er lived in a better country, under a better government and in a better period of time than I, from 1857 to 1939. No man, in all probability, will ever live to see greater achievements accomplished.
Our forefathers laid a good solid foundation, they built well. It's up to you Bill and men like you to persevere' perpetuate and keeP it so.
My life has been devoted to service and activity for my fellowmen, working on my father's farm until I was 21, , then entering business-that of furnishing building material and supplies to build homes for folks on earth. . . Sixty-two years, almost without exception, I have worked at that job. It's a long beautiful story, full of romance, love and service.
Never entered politics, my Creator did not give me the gift of gab nor the vocabulary. He said, John-your job is service, doing things, then talk about it afterward. Build 'homes for folks on earth, yes, that great American home.
. . . That home that will and has made America the greatest, safest, richest, and best gov€rnmerlt on earth.
So Bill, I became a knothole peddler and a member of
that great fraternity called the Concatenated Order of HooHoo, a lumbermen's fraternity, whose ethics are one and the same as Rotary International, and that has been my job for 62 years.
Never cared for so-called honors attached to many organizations, but was always interested in my friends who did like it. They called me a "Jiner" of lodges, clubs and service groups. I am a member in good standing in almost every so-called secret organization, and the Churc,h. Why? Because I wanted to belong and work with every group of men who stood for that sort of thing.
I found the so-called secret organizations had but few secrets outside of pass-words and ritualistic work. I found that every organization had almost the same objective . that of developing and building young,men into splendid manhood, better citizens-to create b'etter government, their duty towards God and their fellowmen. While working witlr young men one finds he is developing himself at the same time, so I was a "Jiner." I wanted to be doing something-Yes, a builder.
We organized our Rotary Club April 2, l9?l-ours was the fourth club to organize in the state. I am a charter member, only four of us left, T. H. Qbrien, Jedd Stone, Charlie Van Hook and John Light. . I have served in almost every capacity, was elected President in 1927-made a darned good President too-I believe you were President of your club that same Jear.
Things hap,pened that year, we eleqted Fred Shaffer of the Globe Club Governor of our District and the next year we all got behind him and elected him Director of Rotary International.
We have had many fine programs. Miami Club is the biggest and best little Rotary Club in the r4'orld located in the biggest and best little old copper producing mining camp in the U.S.A.
Naturally Bill, it has been a pleasure, a privilege and an honor to belong to and work with such a group of men. Bill, I could go on and on and on, but my 82 years are weighing heavily. I have fought the good fight, I have about finished the course.
Again I say-It's up to you Bill, and men like you, to carry on. Keep building on the old foundation-it's solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. You can't go wrong.
If I had my life to live over again I would like it about the same. It's been a bully old life, full of romance, happiness and service.
Rotarily yours in the faith, Just Old John Light.
Edgewater Park, Mississippi, July 14;-\qys1 in the history of qhe South has a formidable convention of business men been so given over to vigorous verbal panning of Government as was the midsummer meeting of The Southern Pine Association here today. The Governor of Mississippi, a famous newspaper publisher, a,noted Southern lawyer, and an outstanding Southern manufacturer, took turns in castigating the workings and tendencies of the New Deal. Taxation, the wage-hour act, a.nd the invasion of personal and businesq liberty by the government, were the chief topics of discussion. T,he administration was bitterly scored for imposition of excessive taxes, for altering our form of government, for regimenting industry a.nd agriculture, and for creating a great spoils system of spending and lending.

Portland, Oregon, July 12,1939.-"The threat of a timber famine in the United States is past," Col. W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, stated at tonight's session of the Institute on Northwest Afiairs, being held during the period Jrtly 10-21, at Reed College, Portland. "The public and industrial efforts in fire prevention and other essentials to forestry are bringing about a growth of timber more than adequate to supply all present requirements of consumption. The economic problem of forestry in the United States hereafter rvill not be how to supply enough timber for our requirements but how to find sufficient markets for the timber crops that these great are4s of land will increasingly produce in the future. The forgst problem, like the wheat problem or the cotton'problem, is fundamentally one of markets."
Col. Greeley's subject in the July 12 evening session of the Institute was "A Forest Policy That Goes All the Way Through.". The second speaker of the session was Henry F. Grady, chairman of the U. S. Tariff Commission, who dealt with export trade problems of the Northwest. The Institute of Northwest Afiairs is sponsored by the City Club of Portland, the League of Women Voters, the A'A'U.W., and the Portland School Board. S. Kerby-Miller is director of the Institute.
Applying his subject to the Pacific Northwest, Col. Greeley declared that the present drain upon our forests from all forms of use and loss is roughly 9 billion feet per year, while authorities estimate that annual growth of timber should increase to 10 billion feet, and eventually to 14 billion board feet. On this basis, Col. Greeley developed the proposition that "public policy must aid forest industry" by recognizing that "forest crops require the same kind of support which we have long accorded to farm crops."
"The economic record of forest industry in the Pacific Northr,r'est is not one to inspire confidence in timber-grow-
ing enterprises," Col. Greeley said. "Struggling with rising labor costs, restricted markets and sharper competition, the problem of our lumber industry has been to survive. It is hard to convince men, engrossed in this primary struggle for self-preservation, that they should undertake the business of growing trees.
"The tough going for Northwestern forest industry is partly because we are the last great timbered section of the United States to be developed; and are still carrying immense reserves of old-growth timber which have accumulated taxes for 30 or 'lO years and are pressing for liquidation. It is partly because our matchless lumber industry wages and working conditions have placed us on a pinnacle of cost and restricted the competitive range of our markets -the world over. It is partly- because of the almost complete collapse of our foreign trade, which today is about one-fifth of its former volume.
"With some of these problems, of course' only the industry itself can deal. In others, it definitely needs the help of our region and of ou-r Government- Particularly is such warranted when forest industry is called upon to be the custodian of forest land, to stay put on its acnes and to contribute heavily to the future economic prosperity of this region through timber cropping. The picture I would leave with you, is that of the foremost industry in the Pacific Northwest-held back by the cold, hard facts of eco,nomic insecurity. To the removal of this fundamental barrier to successful forestry, I would direct the efforts and planning, not only of our national leaders in forest conservation but of all agencies and departments of our Goverment. . I ask for a national forest policy that goes all the way through. I ask for a policy which recognizes that forest crops must be harvested and marketed at a living profit for those who grow them."
Wood Conversion Company announces the appointment of Mark S. Chapell as merchandisi,ng manager. In his new capaiity, Mr. Chapell will work directly with P. A. Ward, general sales manager on merchandising and sales work.
Mr. Chapell was formerly general sales manager of the Mengel Company, Louisville, Kentucky, manufacturers of Flexwood, Plywood and other allied lumber products. His other experiences include the following: Eastern sales man-
Company, president and sales Company, New York City, and market survey lvork with the
P. A. Ward in announcing the appointment of Mr. Chapell said : "With the increase in building construction, the addition of new products and the adoption of new merchandising methods, we are planning to work even closer with the lumber dealer on his merchandising problems. This closer cooperation can only be made effective by additional man power familiar with the lumber trade and with lumber dealer sales methods. We feel that Mr. Chapell is well qualified to tie our sales activities into a definite sales program that will get results for the retail lumber dealers."
"lfow to Buy a Better llome" is a new book just published by Better Homes & Gardens, a national home magazine. The book contains a remarkable check list which covers almost every detail of house, property, financing and maintenance. It includes a room-by-room analysis. It enables the prospective home buyer or builder to balance one house or one set of plans against another in order to determine which of several properties or plans might be best suited to the needs of his family or pocketbook. Because of its complete coverage of home-owning and home building facts, the book can be used as a selling tool by dealers, builders and architects. "How to Buy a Better l{ome" is available at newstands, or may be obtained direct from Better Homes & Gardens, Des Moines, fowa, by sending 25 cents in coin or stamps.

Washington, D. C., July 12.--:The Lake States of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin-up to 40 years ago the nation's leading source of lumber for three decades-today produce about one-tenth as much lumber as in their peak years, and that one-tenth provides for less than half of their own timber needs, according to a report on Lake States forest statistics by the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The report shows a rise both in lumber production and consumption for the Lake States lrom 1932 through 1936.
The rise and fall of the Lake States as the nation's biggest wood-box stands out clearly in the statistical picture. From 1869 to 1889, the Forest Service charts show, the annual lumber cut in the three states rose from approximately three and ,one-half billion to 10 billion board feet. From 1889, the graph line representing production drops sharply and steadily to a low of appr,oximately 30O million board leet in 1932. From that point, however, the figures show a rise in production to just under one billion board feet in the next four years, with consumption rising a little more than twice that figure. The Lake States have consistently consumed more lumber than they produced since the World War, the imports coming from the South, the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
The report says that at the peak of production in the region there were 3,050 lumber mills, whereas in 1936 there were 626 reporting mills.
Tables on principal phases of lumber production, distribution and consumption are included in the report. Production of various species of timber for the year 1899 and annually for 1904-36 is tabulated by states. Other tables show the distribution by years of Lake States lumber in and out of the region, and likewise the lumber consumption in each state these figures showing points of origin

W. B. Jones has opened a wholesale lumber yard at 2l5O East 14th Street, Los Angeles, operating under the name of W. B. Jones Lumber Co. The company will carry complete stocks of Hardwoods, Ponderosa and Sugar Pine, Spruce, and Industrial Douglas Fir. The telephone number is TRinity 9765.
I\{r. Jones is widely known to the trade in Southern California where he has been connected with the lumber business for the past fifteen years. For over ten years he was manager of the hardwood department of the Owens-Parks Lumber Co. at Los Angeles, resigning recently to go in business for himself.
Jack Baker will be in charge of the office, and Ralph Barto will represent the firm as salesman.
Top salesmen of Harbord Super-Plywood from the company's branches and distributors were rewarded by Harbor Plywood Corporation with a trip to the plant at Hoquiam, Wash., where this group attended a sales meeting July 18 to 21.
The high spot of the trip to the Pacific Coast was a three-day visit to the San Francisco Exposition. Homer Maris of Maris Plywood Corporation, San Francisco, acted as host. The group visited the Fair on the evening of July 22 and on the three succeeding days. They were entertained at a banquet at Hotel St. Francis on Sunday evening, when motion pictures were show,n of Nevills' expedition down the Colorado River.
Bill Ream, of thg George E. Ream Company, Los Angeles, and Wayne Rawlings, Maris Plywood Corporation, San Francisco, attended the sales meeting at Hoquiam.
The completion of a schedule of railroad refrigerator cars by the General American Tra.nsportation Corporation of Chicago, and put into service by John Morrell & Company, meat packers of Ottumwa, Iowa, in which exterior siding, sub-roof, main roof, sub-floor, floor, all lining, and ice compartments are made of Super-Harbord weather-proof Douglas fir plyrvood manufactured by the Harbor Plywood Corporation of Hoquiam, Washington, is reported in the Railrvay Age ot July 22.
The plywood panels used in this construction have veneers bonded or fused together with the new cresylic formaldehyde synthetic resin binder. The panels are pressed indiviclually between giant hot plates filled rvith live steam, and are tempered to relieve internal stresses and balance the construction of each unit.
In addition to its features of neatness and sanitation, there is the greater importance of weight saving, amounting to a reduction of 3,100 pounds per car over the conventional type of construction. The use of plywood reduced the number of individual pieces and joints in the car about 89 per cent and saved a substantial amount of labor in shop fabrication.
"The success of this material as car siding in railway construction opens up another nation-wide use for this Pacific Northwest product," declares E. W. Daniels, vice-president of the Harbor Plywood Corporation. "Already SuperHarbord has demonstrated its value in many uses where it is subjected to unusual stresses or excessive moisture. It

is being used extensively in marine construction where it is almost revolutionizing boat building.
"Other uses of this material cover a wide range from outdoor signs, to concrete forms and exterior coverings in modern and conventional types of homes. It has been used extensively in the Exposition buildings on Treasure Island, and at the New York Fair, and is being utilized in a rapidly growing number of industrial products."
On July 24 the entire Western Hardwood Lumber Company organization in Los Angeles, bowed its head in sorrow and regret at the passing of one of its most endeared members, Miss Bertha Adele Meyer.
Miss Meyer had been a member of the Western staff for the past 28 years. She was private secretary to President D. J. Cahill. In addition, she was purchasing agent and traffic manag'er of the concern, being a business woman of rare ability, as well as a lady of much charm and character. As purchasing agent a.nd traffic manag'er she was known to a large business circle outside the Western organization, and enjoyed a high degree of popularity with all who knew her. That her passing is a distipct loss to the Western organization is an opinion expressed by her large circle of friends and fellow workers.
She died after an illness of many weeks, and was buried in Los Angeles on July 26. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Julia Wilferth and Mrs. Anna Meyer Hershon.
Lewis B. Eyer, salesman for The California Door Company of Los Angeles passed away at the Methodist Hospital, Saturday, J:u/,y 22. He was fifty years of age.
Mr. Eyer had been associated with The California Door Company since 1911, and for the past eleven years had been calling on the retail lumber dealers in Southern California, among whom he had a host of friends.
He is survived by his widow, one daughter, two sons, two brothers and two sisters.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday, July 25.
Andrew McNair, one of the best known men in the lumber business in California, passed away at his home in St. Helena on July 21.
He operated the McKinnon-McNair Lumber Company at St. Helena for (he past 19 years. From 1895 to 792O he was with The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco. Part of this time he was in charge of the company's San Francisco yard and later was a salesman in the Northern California territory.
Mr. McNair was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 76 years ago. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth McNair. There was a large attendance of friends, includi,ng many lumbermen, at the funeral services held in St. Helena on Monday, July 24, and also later in the day at the service in the Chapel of the Chimes, Oakland.
Mrs. Bonnie I. Cheney, wife of Glenn W. Che,ney of Dant & Russell, Inc., passed away suddenly in Portland, Oregon, on July 23. Besides her husband, she is survived by three sons, Francis, Gilbert and Glenwood, and a sister, Mrs. Vern Bird of Montesano, Wash. Funeral services were held on July 25.

Washington, D. C., Jaly 2Z.--:that an over-all Federal forestry policy does not exist, but that such a realistic policy, recognizing the forest industries as an important element in the national economy, is most urgently needed, was the gist of an address delivered the evening of July trl, by John B. Woods, Forester, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, to the Institute of Northwest Affairs, held at Reed College in Portland, Oregon.
Declaring that most of us, regardless of occupation, desire to see our forest lands put quickly and efiectively to use growing continuous crops of trees, but warning that sustained yield forestry does not mean local booms in the old-time sense, Mr. Woods gave it as his opinion that a judicious exercise of sensible public controls is desirable and is, in fact, developing in the States. He is not sure of the adequacy of the Federal approach to country-wide forestry.
Periodically since 1919 the Congress has taken up the question of doing something about national forestry. It has enacted a series of laws, most of them helpful; but has neglected to provide adequate funds for cooperating fully with either the States or private owners. Meanwhile administration of Federal lands is confused and overlapping. The era of relief expenditures has meant that labor, representing 50 per cent or less efficiency on the outlay of large sums of money, has been used for the first time on largescale protection of forests from fire, insects and disease. This system, however, has glaring defects. Expenditures depend upon the size of the relief budget, upon the wangling ability of competitive Washington agencies, rather than upon the*real needs of the forest. Congress rpostpones the day of coming. to grips with this problem and providing for rareeting it efficiently at reasonable cost.
The contribution to forestry of States and private owners is continually deprecated by Federal spokesmen. The Chief Forester has tried for four years to sell direct Federal regulation to the American public. He does not show a sample of the merchandise, but says that it must be good and workable because it will be cut to the "democratic pattern." Industry would like to see it and judge for itself whether th-is will work. Private ownership does not fear regulation such as is being developed in the States, but it dois fear bureaucracy and particularly government's inde-

in each instance. Other tables deal with pulpwood, paper' slack cooperage stock and logs used in veneer manufacture. Tables on stumpage and log prices for 1923-36 ate included with the note that the figures are necessarily indicative rather than absolute, because of the many variable factors involved.
This report gives a summary.of all available forest products statistics for the region. It is one of a series designed to cover the entire United States. Similar studies for the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states already have been published, and bulletins for the Northeastern States, the Southern States, and the Central and Prairie States will soon be issued.
Copies of the report, "Forest Products Statistics of the Lake States," Department of Agriculture Statistical Bulletin No. 68, may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. at 1O cents per copy.
cisiveness. The Federal Government should look its own problem in the face and should recognize that State and private forestry are indispensable and must be preserved.
Chief Forester Silcox then addressed the Institute, describing some of the ghost towns left by the lumber industry and demanding that the public recognize the necessity for forest rehabilitation and sustained yield management. He declared that over-all comparisons of growth and drain are deceptive in that they dt not disclose the sore spots where depletion has outdistanced regrowth. He warned that the Northwest is not justified in dismissing the forestry problem as solved and pledged the aid of the Forest Servic.e in helping to work out solutions, across the table with forest maps spread out.
Mr. Silcox questioned the desirability of putting Federat administration in one department or under a single head, believing that the competition makes for better management and increased initiative. He has hopes that the Congressional Joint Committee will come to grips with the whole problem and recommend to the Congress a broad program of Federal legislation.
