The California Lumber Merchant - August 1944

Shorb of Help?

l-lere's one good way to hold those you still have!

(to soy nothing of doing yovrduty to your country)

Just organize oll your employees as active War Bond and Stamp sales solicitors! Put your whole eslablishment in the War Bond effort!

You'll be astonished at the results. Astonished-and gratified!

Onee 'Betty, the Bond Seller" comes to realize that she's just as vital a part of the war efiort as Rosie, the Riveter- or eoen more so-lhat' restless urge to "do something for the war" will fade away. And Betty will regard her present job in an entirely new light.

Don't take our word for it! Check up against the experienee of a national 5l-lol ehain which, through its hundreds of outlets, sold a total of $53,464,389 in War Bonds and Stamps in 1943. This chain reports that-entirely aside from doing its duty to our country-it has gained immeasurably in the regard of its employees, and of the communities it serves. Both of these have become convinced that this concern is wholeheartedly playing an important part in the war efiort. And employee morale has been sharply increased through the pride and satisfaction its workers take in their War Bond work.

So why not put in efieet at once this simple means by which you can help yourself, help your employees, and help your country?

War Bonds To Have And To Hold!

HOW MANY BONDS ARE YOU SEIIINO?

If your bond sales approach, or exceed, 950 pieces a month, and you are not already an Issuing Agent for llnited States War Bonds, we suggest that you discuss this matter with your Federal Reserve Bank. If your bond sales are running at a lower figure, your own bank of deposit can probablyarrange to have you appointed as a sub'issuing agent,

Lieut. Angly Appointed Lumber Storage Interpretation of Order L-335

Olficet at Mare lsland

Lieut. Maurice Angly, of Houston, Texas, has 'been appointed Lumber Storage Officer for the U. S. Navy, at the huge Navy yard at Mare Island, California. He has already assumed his new duties after having spent a short time on leave at his home in Houston.

In connection with his new duties, Lieut. Angly will doubtlessly be attending the lumber lettings on the Pacific Coast and otherwise assist in procurement of lumber for the war effort. He carries into this new phase of his war work twenty years of experience in the lumber industry.

Nearly two years ahead of the general depression, lumber had already started on the downward path when, in 1928, Maurice Angly opened up a wholesale business in Houston under the name of Maurice Angly Lumber Company. He had seen service in several departments of the Boykin Lumber Company,before starting his own business. And, in the face of every adverse condition, through agg'ressive merchandising and promotion, the new business grew and prospered. Mr. Angly opened a large concentration yard in Houston, and later, branches in Corpus Christi, Brownsville and other Texas points.

.When war'came along, of course, these units were closed, but the Houston offices continued to service its customers as far as possibie, with its specialty products of Fir and Yellow Pine and Red Cedar shingles.

Then, in1942 every man in the Angly organization joined up and .went to war. And Mr. Angly, still a young man though over draft age, tendered his services. In July, 1942, he was given a commission as Lieutenant, Senior Grade in the U. S. Naval Reserve. and was sent to New .Orleans, where he was stationed for one year, in the pro-. curement department.

In September, 1943, he "nas transferred to the Navy Supply Depot, Oakland, California, rvhere he has been stationed up to the present time. Last month, he was back on leave in Houston to spend a few days with his wife and four-year-old .son, before taking up his new assignment.

The Angly lum,ber business carries on without its men folk. But it is in most capable hands, as two years of service by three experienced and loyal women. have demonstrated. They are Mrs. Lela Del Barto, Mrs. Mary Alice Streich and Mrs. Carolyn McGehee. While their men and their lumber have gone to war, they keep the flag flying over the Angly offices and carry on business to the extent that wartime conditions permit.

An official interpretation of the Lumber Control 'Ordern.l L-335, in the form of 86 questions and answers, has beed.:-*i issued by the War Production Board. ,:.t

The first ten questions and answers clarify the relationr.i, ii between L-335 and the orders that have been revoked:, j M-361 (southern pine), M-364 (restricted hardwoods), :: L-218 (Douglas fir), L-29.O (wbstern lumber), and M-208:. /--^l^-^,--- ,--Ll t ?, (preference ratings for softwood lumber). The relatioil i between L-335 and other lumber orders still in effect--1iil M-lZz (Mahogany) for example-is also clarified. Spe- fi cific examples are given explaining how the transition from ir former controls to the present over-all control is efiected, jil# Questions and answers 11 through 36 cover definitions.. ::t They clarify the differences between L-335 as originally,"i issued in March, and L-335, amended June 23 and effective,' .; ,{ugust 1. Among the questions answered are specific :1 ones on what is lumber as defined by the order, what ' products are not subject to the order's provisions, and ther,i,f, operation of concentration and distribution yards undei .:,1 the order.

The different types of consumers, as defined in the or- ,,i der, are discussed in questions anil answers 37 through ti 67. Chief among the points clarified are how consumers.ig of different types get authorization to purchase lumber,,::,.$ what certification they need, who must file WPB f'orrinl:l 364O and how it is filed. -1

Distributors' problems are cdvered in questions and an.,:: swers 68 through 73. with particular reference to replaci..la! ment and building up of inventories. ,''l

The final 13 questions and answers relate to sawmills,,r;i and cover the types of orders they may accept. Questions,,, and answers 85 and 86 explain the application of Direc..;i tions 1 through .5, issued July 6, and of similar fortheorn-' l.i ing directions.

Interpretation'1 to L-335 (as originally issued in March)"x$ was revoked immediately after the new version of L.335'ijl rvas issued on Tune 23. .;1

"IJncover when the Flag goes by, boys, 'Tis Freedom's starry banner that you greet; Flag famed in song and storyLong may she wave-Old GloryThe flag that has never known defeat." ***

Longfellow vfrote these stirring lines: "Write on your deeds the saying wise and bold, Be bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold. Be not too bold; yet better the excess Than defect; better the more than less: Better like Hector in the field to die, Than, like a perfumed Paris, turn and fly." **:8

And I like the way Lord Byron wrote of war. Take the following stanza, for instance:

"The. Assyrian came down like a \tolf on the lold, His cohorts were gleaming in purpli and gold; The sheen of his spears rryere like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee."

Bet that's the way the Ruisian arms looks to Adolf, the ex-paperhangerl "like stars on the sea." Or perhaps the Ruskies remind him more of the Hydra-headed monster of antiquity, whose strength lay in the fact that when you cut off one of his heads, ten more appeared in its place. No matter how many Russians the Boche has been able to knock out, there are ten more ready to take the place of each fallen man. A hard game to beat. Ask Adolf ! d('t*

As this is being written the opinion is being frequently expressed that the Germans are hoping to see the Russians get to Berlin first, rather than the Americans and British; some writers believe that they have not done their best fighting on the Eastern front for that reason. Those who utter such opinions have evidently not made a very close study of the charagter of a guy named Joe Stalin. When he hits Berlin the Boche will wish it were anybody else on earth. With at least ten million dead and wounded Russian soldiers, and a countless number of Russian civilians destroyed by the German war machine, Joe is going to be rough. That gent is of a breed that neither forgives nor forgets***

Reader's Digest says that the war has made many changesi For instance, before thls war the Ara,b in Egypt always rode his horse, while his wife walked behind. Today all that is changed. He still rides the horse, and she still walks. But she walks in front. He's afraid of land mines and booby traps.

And then, of course, there was the fortune teller whocharged G.I. Joe a buck for telling him he was going on';:: a long, long journey. But she wouldn't teil him wherg; it , was a military secret **>F

Many people ask nowadays, "How are we'going to g€t-:. our service women back into the homes, the kitchens,.-"i the nurseries, and all their old accustomed places, after :i, the war, and after they have lived this new way of lifelir.,:i Folks, there's one postwar question I ca4 answcr withi,; complete assurance.

Tho ||ay of the !'lmilgtiloff"

One of the great industrial corporations, The Aluminum Company of America, in a series of interesting advertisements recently introduced to the business students of America a new character-the "Imagineer." Swell fellow ! Promising guy ! Practical person ! I like him.

Says one of the Alco ads: "The real battle ahead is industry's task of making jobs when this thing is over * * * Imagineers are springing up by the thousands. These are the men r*'ho ar'e LETTING THEIR IMAGINATIONS SOAR, and then engineering. it down to earth, GETTING READY, We believe the practice of Imagineering is one spark that will light the fame of the fifty-five millio.n jobs needed after the war. WE BELIEVE IN IMAGINEERING.''

Get thc idea? In- the postwar world there will come into EVERY BUSINESS the need of a fellow to do its imagining, its practical dreaming, its modernistic directing of efrort. As stated above, an Imagineer is one who lets his imaglration soar.. The Imagineer's job is to think of ways and m€ans of conducting every business along new lines, furnishing! new services; doing things differently, doing them better than they have ever been done before. ' We won't solve the postwar problem by simply drop ping back into the same old groove we were in when the \,ear came along and changed ever5rthing. If we dlowed that to be our goal we would fall far short of furnishing the millions of needed jobs. No, we must all appoint our-

The lumber and building industry must becogre a beer]1. hive of Imagineers. Every retail business must have them';'l' Every sawmill must be equipped with them. Every buitd;';, ing material manufactur"t ""a distributor must go into,i the Imagineering business. They must be men-and wom';: sn-u*rs are free thinking enough to discard the old; npt just because it is old, but because it isn't capable of doing,ll the postwar job.

'I-he principal effects of fireproofing treatments are to retard the norrn:rl increase in temperzrtures under fire conditions, to clecrease the rate of flame spread and ignition of the rvood, to lessen the rate o{ flame penetration or destruction of wood in contact rvith fire, ind to extinguish fires more easily. No better description of fireproofed woocl and the manner in 'ivhich the treatment prevents ready ignition and spread of flame can be written than the follo'rving given by one of the leaders in the industry:

"Fireproofed wood is chemically impregnated wood rendered permanently incapable of supporting combustion. When heat is applied to fireproofed wood it begins to decompose the injected chemicals into non-poisot.tous gases which are not only noncombustible but rvhich serve to prevent the oxygen of the air from gaining access to the r.vood rvhich is being heated. Hence, combustion is in-

hibited. As the application of heat continues a series of endothermic reactions takes place. Checking, charring and slow destruction continue without contributing any fuel value; i.e., no increment in temperature occurs. The surface of the wood manifests only a slight glow, and that portion of the rvood bordering on the surface that is directly exposed to the flame, depending upon its intensity, likewise checks and chars. The gradual distintegration of the wood results by virtue of dry distillation without bursting into flame or spreading blaze. The wood is reduced to a clinker-like charred condition and not to an ordinary ash. Effective fireproofing compounds increase the yield of charcoal by slow dehydration of the wood substance."

The treatment of .wood for fire retardance differs little in detail from the vacuum pressure treatment with salts for protection against decav and insects. The usual meth-

other public buildings for such purposes as flooring, inside window frames anil sash, doors, trim, and other interior finish unless fireproofed to meet certain required tests. These tests, commonly called the shavings, crib, and timber tests, are still used to some extent. Briefly, the shavings test was one in which flame from a gas burner was applied to a quantity of fireproofed shavings, which to pass the test successfully must not show any flame or glow after a certain number of seconds following rembval of the ,burner. The timber and crib tests .were applied to samples of wood subjected to certain flames for a period of time, after which the unburned area and .loss in weight were tabulated. The tests most commonly used todav are the Krefeld test as provided in the Ameiican Society for Testing Materials specifications C16O-41T and the test commonly referred to as the fire tube test suggested by the Forest Products Laboratory at lVladison. Wisconsin. Irr

All the cross-wdlks, rcils, plctlorms, etc., in this syathetic rubber plcnt preasute trected wiih lire-retardqnt gcrlte, od of fireproofing rvood is to place the lumber on specially built steel tram cars, which are ruu into the steel treating cylinders (from @ to 180 ft. long and 5 to9 ft. in diameter), bolt the door, and force the chemical solution into the wood under pressure of 100 b 2AA lbs. per square inch. A vacuum of approximately ZZ in. is usually applied first when dry lumber is to be impregnated, ltut if the wood is green it is first conditioned by steaming for a short period of time at not over 20 lbs. gauge pressure of. 2590 Fahrenheit before the vacuum is applied. The time of treatment depends upon the species of wood, its size and moisture condition, and ma/ require a pressure period of 24 hours or more before the necessary absorption is obtained, although the tirne may vary somewhat with the temperatures and pressure used.

Unlike in the wood-preserving industry, where laboratory tests have not been accepted as reliable evidence of the value of a preservative material, such tests are of prime value and reliability in determining the'success of any given fire-retardant treatment. Fire follows a very definite pattern in every case, and on the authority of the American Society for Testing Materials a standard timetemperature curve has been plotted which best illustrates conditions in the averdge fire. These conditions can be duplicated in a laboratory, and the fire resistance of the product thus measured.

Interest in fireproofed wood in early days was most marked in New York City, which saw great possibilities in its use in building construction, and about 40 years ago the building code of that city prohibited the use of wood in any buildings exceeding 150 ft. in height or in .certain

qre wood,

Hcngcr during constuction with some of the treqted timber arches in plcce. these tests small samples of the fire resistant wood are elposed to flame at a temperature exceeding 18000 F. and the suitability of the treated lumber is mJasured by the loss in weight resulting from such exposure.

The economical aspect of fireproofed wood should eventually, of course, be reflected in premium reductions by fire insurance groups. The undenvriters will acceDt fireproofed lumber for structural uses. Various national technical associations-among them the American Wood-Preservers' Association, the American Society for Testine Materials, and the American Railway Engineering As"sociation-have taken sufficient interest in the-probleri to undertake the writing of detailed specifications governing the treatment of the material. These may not be completed for some time, but it is interesting to note that wo;k already done lry ttr" committees studying the subject indicates an active and growing interest in fireprooied wood by constructing agenJies.

The widely publicized blimp hangars designed by the Navy and erected at various points throughouit the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts constitute the largest use for commercially fireproofed lumber in this coun-try. These vast 'preframed wood structures made possible by the use of Teco connectors are protected agalnst both- fire and decay by treatment. The fireproofed-wood used for these Navy blimp_ hangars was specified by the Navy to be treated in accordance with the American Wood-Preservers, Association specifications No. 38b for the treatment of lumber by the pressure processes. In brief, the specifications of (Continued on Page 21)

The treatr.nent shall be permanent under normal exposure conditions, and the chemicals shall not corrode metals, affect paint or glue, create hazards of health (uring the handling or working of the material, or emit injuriou_s fumes under direct fire attacks. The fireproofed material must pass the American Society for Testing Materials test for fire-retardant properties -of wood, referred to above as the Krefeld test.

Tests made by various testing laboratories on fireproofed 'wood that has been in service -for many years in the New York area have found it to be as fire resistant as when installed. With increased production of this material, there has bee! a general reduction in its cost over a period of years, so that'at present the cost of treatment.dois not exceed that of a good ireosote treatment, and the wood is not only made fire resistant but decay and insect resistant also. , There are now twenty odd pressure plants in_1!ris country in position to furnish this product. ^ . While fir_eproofed wqod has been a. realily for years, it ' has generally been used for less colorful 'purpoies than the construction of blimp hangars to aid in the prosecution of a conflict which has weakened destruction on a great p,art of the civilized world. It may well be, however,-that the impetu.s. given this product ihrough its use by the Navy for this purpose and by other Government d6part- ments for various defense structures will serve to focui the attention of lumbermen, architects, engineers and builders 'on a development which bids fair to effect as great possi-

bilities for lumber and timber producers as did the development of the wood-preserving industry. The more common uses for fireproofed material are framing, lining and roof decking for railroad roundhouses and shops, store buildings, wharf superstructure buildings, garages, ships, schools, hospitals, residences, libraries and other public building,'scaffolding, etc. It is in such miscellaneous fields and many others yet untried that fireproofing will find its greatest application in the post-war era.

Use oI Certcin Grcrdes ol Lumber Restricted i' To Wcrr Work by WPB

Los Angeles, Calif., July 19.-Moving to channel several kinds of lumber into making of. boxes for militarv overseas shipment, the War Production Board today issued an order prohibiting use in 26 types of products.

More than half of this year's lumber production must go into -the crating and protection of ammunition, food, and other supplies for invasion for-ces, Stanley Mark, WPB priorities chief here, explained.

He said the "freeze" applied to specified grades of white oak, Idaho white pine, spruce, Ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white fir, and red cypress.

Norte of the types affected may be used inalist of products which includes agricultural equipment, boats, fixtures, flooring, furniture, mobile and pre-fabricated housing, refrigerators, toys, trunks, and lockers, Mr. Mark explained.

All lumber comes under drastic new controls on August 1 as result ofa critical shortage of materials for overseas military purposes.

' A plan to get prospects for materials of a non-critical nature, also a method of getting lists of future prospects, is now available by the Wood Conversion Company, and is known as the Project Register. The plan includes folders, direct mail, newspaper ads, displays, etc., together with the Project Register.

,The program makes it possible for the lumber dealer to compile a list of prospects, and sell them the items he now' has available, such as paint, shingles and insulation. Others. such as construction jobs over $200 he registers, giving the, prospect a priority certificate. Then as soon as restrictions are lifted he checks his prospect list and contacts those whose work can go ahead. It brings these people into the dealer's office rvhere they can learn just what can a'd cannot be done.

Parts of this type ofjoint are a small-diameter rod (made of wood, metal, fiber, or other available material) and two grooves of semicircular cross section---one cut parallel to the edge of a flat piece of plywood or other material; the other cut within the slot of a piece of wood or metal corner framing. When the flat piece is thrust into the slot of the framing, the two grooves come opposite each other, forming a long circular hole into which the rod is slipped to lock the parts together. The lockjoint boxes may be manufactured in any mill which has the usual woodworking machinery. The Klomparens' lock-joint package has been tested for strength and ruggedness at Rockaway Package Research Laboratory and at Forest Products Laboratory

Mr. Klompaiens dxpects to rvard off termite, decay and moth hazards by having the ply'ivood pressure treated with a salt type preservative or, 'r'r'here needed, with a fireretardant solution. Full penetration of chemicals throughout the plies is accomplished, so that plywood, like ordinary wood, can be protected against fungi, insects and fire.

Witl-r the aid of calking compound placed in the groove of the lid, boxes are made impervious to water, thereby eliminating the need of paper waterproof liners.
