Portland, Oregon., July 12,1946"-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in June (4 weeks) was I24)96,W board feet, or 85.3 per cent of. 1942-L945 average, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 114,192,000 b.f.; shipments I22,541,W. Weekly averages for May were: Production 12I,628,N0 b.f. (84.0 per cent of the 1942-1945 average),; orders 119,476,ffi; shipments, tzI,327,W0.
Twenty-six weeks f.or 1946, cumulative production 3,055,162,ffi b.f.; 26 weeks, 1945, 3,62L,892,00O; 26 weeks, 1944, 4,121,469,000..
Orders for 26 weeks of 1946 break down as follows; Rail. 1,945,090,000 b.f.; domestic,cargo, 4B3,169,000; export, 186,4O8,000 ; local, 37 4,339,000.
The industry's unfilled order file stood at 559,227,000 b.f. at the end of June; gross stocks at 378,664,ffi0.
Production of West Coast lumber increased 2l million feet per week in June over May or approxiniately averaging slightly more than 124 million feet weekly production. This small increase in production in all probability can be attributed to an improved log supply coupled with more favorable weather conditions. Weekly orders for Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock, and other West Coast species averaged 114 million feet, or a drop of approximately-5 million feet per week over orders booked in May. Undoubtedly this decrease in orders was due to changes in OPA price regulations that went into efiect in June.
Shortages in log and labor supplies coupled with uncertainties whether OPA ceiling prices and regulations would be extended after the expiration of the law on June 30th were all factors that hindered full-scale production and the hesitancy of the West Coast lumber industry to accept a greater volume of new business under the existing circumstances. Lumber shipments showed a slight increase in June over the previous month, averaging l22rf million feet per week. Unfilled lumber orders in the Douglas fir region declined about 4O million feet weekly during the past month but are still nearly twice as high as unshipped orders in normal times.
The Western Pine Association for the week ended July 13,93 mills reporting, gave orders as 47,777,ffiO feet, shipments 47,442,000 feet, and production 57,357,ffiO feet. Orders on hand at the end of the rveek totaled 248,639,0W feet.
Thb Southern Pine Association for the week ended July 6, 75 units (98 mills) reporting, gave orders as 13,653,000 feet, shipments 10,834,000 feet, and production l2,l27,ON feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 78,613,000 feet.

San Francisco, July 2S.-Redwood lumber mills in Northern California are resuming operations after a six months' strike shutdown which resulted in an estimated loss of 175 to 200 million board feet.
Mill operators have broken off all negotiations with the union over the closed shop issue. Three of the mills afiected have reopened. The Pacific Lumber Company is running three rigs; Union Lumber Company two rigs, and Rockport Redwood Co. one rig. Northern Redwood Lumber Co., Arcata Redwood Co., and Caspar Lumber Co. are getting ready to operate. Some of the mills will be unable to resume immediately because of lack of logs.
Wage increases of 20 cents an hour are being paid returning workers, plus the additional increases in the various skilled jobs. IJnder the new rates, pay starts at $l.02rl an hour.
California Redwood production during 19,16 fell to 43,241,0@ board feet for the five months ended May 31, compared to 176,781,ffi board feet for the like 1945 period, according to Forest Service estimates. Production of all lumber species in the region is estimated at 95,376,000 board feet against 265,611,W feet a year ago.

Ottawa, July 18.-A price board official said today Canadian manufacturers soon will impose a 10 per cent increase on lumber products sold to United States customers to compensate for price differentials caused by revaluation of the Canadian dollar.
Canadian lumber shippers had been taking a loss since the Canadian dollar was put on a par with the United States dollar, and the 10 per cent adjustment would restore prices to their former level, he said.

The corn is ripe in the valley
And so is the golden grain, The sky is a deep, unclouded blue And there's never a hint of rain. The grasses are russet and yellow, The forests are tinder dry, So remember the rules of the woodlands W'henever you're driving by.
Vacation time is upon us, You're hearing the call of the wild, So you make your camp in the forest, By nature allured and beguiled; Well, be as wild as you want toThrow your hat in the air and shout, But before you leave your sylvan retreat, Be sure that your camp fire's out.
The forester scans the sky line, For a tell tale spiral of smoke, He knou's that unguarded camp fires May the furies of flame provoke; A night or a day of horror And that which was verdant and fair, Will be seen as a blackened ruin, Blasted. lifeless and bare.
Let not your sins of omission Speed the demons of fire on their way, Let not your heedless actions The kingdom of nature betray. The rules of the forest are simple, Be sure that you do. not forget; Bank your fires, break your match, crush the sparks From the stub of your cigarette.

Crosby H. Shevlin recently opened a retail lumber and building material yard in San Rafael, Calif. The new yard, which will be operated as the Marin County Lumber Co., is located at 345 Francisco Boulevard, and the telephone number is 1670J.
James S, Sturken, recently released from service in the U. S. Marine Corps, is manager of the yard.
Washington, D. C., July 17.-The Civilian Production Administration took steps yesterday to speed the movement of scarce household appliances and building materials to consumers.
It issued orders prohibiting manufacturers from carrying inventories of their products exceeding a month's output. Compliance not later than Aug. 15 is required.
Twenty-six kinds of products are affected.
Mr. Shevlin has a fine background of experience in the lum-
ber business, having been with Shevlin, Carpenter & Clarke of Minneapolis, and associated companies for 27 years. He became plant sales manager at the Shevlin mill at Bend, Oregon in 1926, and in 1931 went to Minneapolis to be vice-president of the Shevlin Pine Sales Co. He returned to Bend in 1943 as assistant manager. He was a partner for one year in Shevlin-Cords Lumber Co., San Francisco.
Dave Davis, the club's president, presided at the July 16 luncheon meeting of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club in the Concert Rogm of the Palace Hotel.
Vice President Hugh Handley spoke briefly on the club's part in handling negotiations with the City in connection with proposed changes in the San Francisco building code.
Jack Shaw, of the sportcaster division of the Tidewater Associated Oil Co., told members some of the things that contribute to the successful broadcasting of a football or basketball game. Good advice to the announcer, he said, is to "be yourself," and to "put the listener in the stadium."
The speaker was introduced by Dick Mussallem, Dicknson's Lumber Co., San Francisco.
Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redrv'ood Association, San Francisco, returned July 16 from spending three months in Washington, D. C., on business of the association.
"What we are after is to see that scarce materials go to the manufacturer whose finished products go immediately to the consumer, rather than to those who plan to withhold manufactured products awaiting possible price increases," John D. Small, head of CPA, declared. I
Henceforth, a producers' inventory rvill be limited to a month's production of the following items:
Wood and metal furniture, domestic laundry equipment, domestic mechanical refrigerators, miscellaneous electrical appliances, photographic equipment, electric ranges, domestic sewing machines, domestic vacuum cleaners, metal beds, innerspring mattresses, felt mattresses, box springs, coil, flat and fabric springs, dual sleeping equipment, building board, asphalt and tarred roofing products, galvanized ware, gypsum board, gypsum lath, metal windows, cast iron soil pipe, and insect screen cloth.
In determining the size of inventory of finished products permitted at any time under this rule, the manufacturer may use either the amount he produced in the preceding 30 days or his average montfly output in the preceding three months. For building board, made from wood pulp, vegetable fibres, pressed paper stock, or multiple plies of fibred stock, the limitation applies to the producer's total inventory rather than to individual items.
In placing this restriction on inventories of finished goods, CPA also placed new restrictions on receipts of raw materials. Contractors and processors are forbidden to accumulate for 30 days' operation: Building board, metal plastering base, cast iron soil pipe, insect screen cloth, and all metallic zinc, including zinc diecast alloy. Inventories of butyl acetate and butyl alcohol (normal) may not exceed a 45-day supply.
Approximately 12,000,000 pounds of nails will be made available by the army and navy for the veterans emergency housing program within 30 days, the National Housing,Agency notified W. Conrad McKelvey, its Los Angeles representative on July 1'6.
Both Secretary of War Patterson and Acting Secretary of the Navy Sullivan have agreed to release 6,000,000 pounds from their active reserve stocks, in addition to an equal amount from army and'navy surplus stocks, it was announced jointly by Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt and War Assets Administrator Lt. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory.
Since about 400 pounds of nails are required for a sixroom house, Mr. McKelvey said, the army and navy supplies are the equivalent of the requirement for about 30,000 houses.
More than half of the critically needed nails to be released are immediately available at navy, marine corps, and naval shipyards throughout the country. The balance is located at army supply depots.
Mr. McKelvey said the nails will go partly into the completion of temporary housing for veterans at colleges and in congested areas, and partly to HH priority holders through regional offices of the War Assets Administration.
Washington, J:uly 17.-The National Housing Agency announced yesterday that an additional $8.5 million has been allotted to the Secretary of Agriculture for the construction of roads to remote Government timber lands.
These new roads should add from 90 to 100 million board feet of lumber to the 1946 production and from 500 to 600 million board feet in 1947, NHA said.
The new allocation brings to $10.5 million the amount set aside for construction of access roads to standing timber in national forests. To date, the former $2 million allocated for road building is being used in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho and Montana. The $8.5 million will be u5ed in this same area as well as timber lands in the Southeast, the Lake states and New England.

When father got a haircut, (I recall it with a thrifl) The barber also shaved him, And a quarter paid the bill; And as the barber labored, (The memory haunts me Yet) My father scanned the damsels In the old Police Gazette. Now haircuts cost a dollar, A shave four bits, and yet, The barber shops no longer serveThe old Police Gazette.
-Fred Myers.
Every .time I pay a dollar for a haircut (without even the Police Gazette thrown in), I just look the other way when the barber in handing me the bill, holds out his hand turned palm up. I may be a little tight, but I can't help figuring that when I pay a dollar for a haircut I have paid and tipped both.
I heard a friend say that paying a dollar for a haircu,t and then tipping the barber is like buying a black market car at a thousand over the ceiling price, and then tipping the salesman.

And so with practically everything else. Washington directed us how we should produce and how we should distribute, and what we should charge. And now look ! As God is my judge, I believe we would be a thousand times better off if every single governmental bureau were

And from every state in the union come published reports of the great numbers of people drawing unemployment pay, while many good jobs go unfilled. The principle behind unemployment pay is above criticism. But it was bound to become a racket; and if you can believe a tenth of what you hear and read-it has. The easiest job on top of this earth is to induce the average man to loaffor pay. Unemployment compensation is for workers to use to sustain themselve's between jobs. It was never intended to induce people to dodge jobs.

Well, after all the "-"i, "i""rl, in the country had done their best to revile him, Seaator Bilbo was returned to the U. S. Senate by the people of the State of Mississippi.

I have met few Mississippians in my life that I did not like, and many of them lift high in my
The other day I talked with a distinguished gentleman who lives in California, but who was raised in Mississippi.
We spoke of Bilbo and the criticisms that were raining up6n him at that moment. .And this ex-Mississippian said: "You know as well as I do thdt there isn't a man in Congr'ess, or in the country, who would stand a chance against Bilbo in debate on any subject." And I agreed with him comPletelY'
Friends, you may have overlooked that fact in all the tide of criticism you have read against Bilbo. He is the only natchal-born orator we have living in this country today. Don't let anyone tell you that men refuse to debate with Bilbo because of his off-color remarks. Without a note or manuscript or preparation of any kind, he can speak with eloquence, with wit, with amazing dexterity on almost any subject. No one has to write his speeches. He can think and talk coordinately. I hate to see pictures all of the same color painted of a man, w'ho really has great ability along interestin8*line;. *
To prove my opinion: Collier's printed a terrific attack on Bilbo just before election. So did the Saturday Evening Post, and other periodicals. But while most of the writers pictured only the one side, the men who wrote for Collier's. told a few facts on the other side. Witness these excerpts from the Collier's story: "He plays upon the sympathies, the problems, the desires, the humor, the fears of the crowd with the consummate skill of a concert pianist tackling Beethoven." Is there any other man in Congress, who without script or notes can do that? And again the Collier's writers say: "FIe is a first rate comedian, with better timing than Bob Hope, and better gags than Senator Claghorn, and that's no joke, son." ***
See what I mean? This Bilbo may be rough and tough in his speech when he wants to be, but as a born lover of oratory, I rise to speak a fair word for the only first-class and natchal-born orator living in this country today. Don't worry about any of the other Senators ever meeting him in debate, whether the subject be politics, religion, or Shakespeare. And ihat's no joke, son. I never heard him speak but once. And, with the exception of the late Senator Joe Bailey, he is the most gifted platform speaker I ever heard. I have always held prepared speeches in contempt. Which made me admire speakers like Bailey and Bilbo all the more. He has a bad voice and a poor presence; but Mister, he can TALK, and don't you ever doubt it.

Here are three clear and beautiful pictures showing the modern methods of timber-felling in use by the crew of the Associated Lumber & Box Company, at Sandy Gulch, near West Point, in Calaveras County, California. (For these pictures and the following facts THE CALIFORNIA LUMean MpifCHANT is indebted to Jerry Arends, of San Francisco.), View No. 1 shows a pair of expert timber sawyers starting the cut of a big Ponderosa tree with a Mercury Disston power sa1v. View No. 2 shows the tree starting its fall. View No. 3 shows these men using the same power saw for "bucking" the fallen tree into logs 32 feet in length, for transportation to the mill at Sandy Gulch. These are the clearest and best pictures of these operations that have come to our desk, and show the progress that has been made in Pine logging in California.
The Sandy Gulch mill, near West Point, is the latest and
most modern sarvmill plant to be built in Calaveras County. Here is a brief description of the equipment of the mill. All electrical equipment and power. Nine foot Allis-Chalmers band mill. All steel carriage with Trout set-rvorks and Martin air-dogs. Fourteen inch shotgun feed carriage. Hill nigger and log-kicker. 84 inch vertical resaw with merry' go-round. 72 inch edger. Four boilers fueled with sawdust and hog fuel. 130 foot stack. Tu'o acre log pond holding one million feet of logs. Log hauling is by truck. The package system is used throughout the mill and plant. Lumber is hauled from the green-chain to a stacker where it is made into packages, transported to the yard by carriers, and lifted into piles for seasoning, by lift trucks.
' A new town named Wilseyville was built to house the 125 employes of the Associated Lumber & Box Company at this mill. The houses are equipped with every modern con-
View No. 2venience, and in addition there is a company rooming house and store. Howard Blagen is Resident Manager of this plant. He majored in engineering and surveying in college, since which time he has been an active sawmill executive. He was sales manager for the Blagen Lumber Company at Cal-Pine before they built this Sandy Gulch plant, and is responsible for many of the modern innovations used in the new mill. Lawrence Wilsey, well knowtr for 25 years in the West Coast lumber and box shook industry, is superintendent. Lonnie Hertzig, expert mill builder, built the mill. H. S. Albertson is sawmill superintendent. John Parmeter is woods superintendent. J. D. Conger runs the lumber yard. H. F. Warren is sawyer.
The Sandy Gulch mill has been in operation just a year and a half and is considered one of the most modern and efficient to be found anvwhere.

Twenty years ago, right about this date, I went to Longview, Washington, to have my first look at the giant sawmill plant just being completed by the Long-Bell Lumber Company. The second sawmill unit had been placed in operation the previous May 3rd, and was slashing away. The first unit had been running since the summer ol 1924. And when I got there to look the thing over, the last work was being done about the huge plant. The mighty dream sawmill of R. A. Long was finished. It could cut as much as two million feet a day.
I shall never forget that day of sight-seeing and sawmill investigation.. I had for my only guide, a slightly-built, heavily-spectacled gentleman whom I shall always remember as he was that day. His name was Robert A. Long' We did that great plant together, one unit in the morning, the other in the afternoon. At noon we ate our lunch in the great commissary, al.ter the crew had been fed and were gone. Mr. Long had invited the key men of the plant to meet and eat with us, and they were there. After eating, there were two speeches made. Mr. Long made one, and I made the other.
I had known Mr. Long many years even then. But in his office in Kansas City he was always the busiest of men. His splendid secretary used to say to me: "I'll let you go in to tell him hello and one story, but you must promise not to sit down even when he asks you, for his time is all taken." But at Longview it was different. His time was his ow,n, and I talked more to him that day and listened to him more than in all the rest of our visits combined. He was a gentleman of much charm, a bubbling sense of humor, and when he heard a story that hit him just right he threw back his head and showed his considerable set of teeth, and guffawed. He was a swell companion.
And we sat on some piling on one of the new docks at the new unit, and he invited me to ask questions as freely as I desired. Here was a man about the biblical threescore years and ten, who had liquidated about thirty-five million dollars sawmilling and otherwise lumbering in the South, who at that advanced age, took that great fortune
By Jack DionneWest and buried it in an investment close to a hundred million dollars. It was evident that he looked forward to a very long life, since it was his determination to see his crop not only planted, but harvested. Such a man naturally invited numerous inquisitive questions. And I asked all I could think of ; and he answered them. He invited me to tell him the criticisms I had heard in the lumber industry of his bold move. So I unloaded on him. And they seerned to please him. And he told me his reply to every one, his age, his investment, his future expectations, etc. It was the most remarkable discussion and interview of my journalistic career. For this was one of the most unusual men I ever knew in this business. Think it over yourself, and see if he was not. It would take quite a book to contain the things R. A. Long told me'that day concerning his hopes, his ambitions, his future outlook.
But he had not counted on one terrific obstacle to his ambitions, namely, panic and depression. When the mill was just three years old the crash came, and lasted until World War II put an end to it. And during those years Mr. Long was gathered to his fathers, his financial fortunes at a very low ebb. Too bad he could not have lived -as I am sure he expected to live-to see the comeback of Long-Bell.
But the great mill stands there today, a mighty monument to his genuis and his courage and his indomitable will, which refused to look upon himself as an old man, even though, according to the Bible he so dearly loved, he was already old. He took on sixty or seventy millions of bonds and debts with all the sang-froid of a man with all his life before him.
Not long before he passed away f visited him in his Kansas City office. Cancer had marked him, and he knew that his time was up. Yet you would never have known it from his bearing. He was friendly, he was jovial, his laugh was quick and spontaneous.
"There were giants in those days," says the Good Book. There were in the lumber days I have known, too. The great mill at Longview, was one. And the builder was another.
The Federal Housing Administration will continue insuring mortgages on exist-ing homes as the result of legislative action by Congress. Authority to insure mortgages- on other thin new homes was to have ended July 1, but Consress has removed from Title II of the National Housing Act both the termination date and the limitation of insurance on existing homes to 35% of all insurance.
"Sound finan-ing of the purchase of existing homeg-i.s essential to a stabli national mortgage system," says EHA Commissioner Raymond M. Foley. 'In permitting FHA to continue insuring such mortgages, Congres-s has- recognized that the availabilitv of FHA-insured financing for existing homes is a stronlly stablizing factor in the market, esiecially under curreni conditions of inflation in real estate.
"Confining FHA insurance to new homes alone would have producld a permanent disequilibrium in the mortgage mark6t and disiriminated against buyers of older-type homes.
"This year the volume of FHA mortglage ins.urance,on existing -homes has been larger than ever before," Mr' Foley Jaid, "providing evidence that -the home-buying public is lookirrg to FHA as protection against excessive prices." '
Sittce the start of its program, the FHA has insured 550,000 mortgages on existing properties in a total amount of about $2,300,000,000.
Mr. Foiey pointed out that existing homes are the only ones availal,t.i to families who do noi qualify for veterans' preference in the purchase of new homes. The demand
for homes of all kinds, he said, has resulted in heavy mortgage financing and has pushed up prices of older homes at an alarming rate.
When the National Housing Act was passed in June, 1934, it contained no termination date for insurance of mortgages on existing homes under Section 203 of Title II. Amendments to the Act in 1938 provided for termination of this authority on July l, 1939. This date was extended first to 1941, then Io 1944, and finally to t946. The new amendment strikes out the termination date, as well as removing the limitation as to the proportion of total insurance applicable to existing homes.
In accordance with requirements of Title II of the National Housing Act, mortgages insured must be on properties considered economically sound in accordance with appraisals of long-term values. Technicalily traine4 valuators, appraisers, and inspectors of a local FHA office examine the location, the neighborhood, and the entire mortgage transaction in considering a property to be financed with an FHA-insured mortgage
FH,A-insured mortgages for the purchase of existing homes designed for one to four families may amount to 8O% of. FHA's appraisal up to as much as $16,000 and may run for as long as 2O years. Maximum interest which may be charged by the lending institution is 4rl/o annually on declining balances, plus I of.lVo FHA mortgage insurance. Loans are repaid in regular monthly instailments which cover principal and interest, mortgage insurance premium, hazard insurance, and real estate taxes.
In line with their postwar development, the Crossett Lumber Company at Crossett, Arkansas, are now completing the first step in their,sawmill construction prog'ram, according to A. T. McDonough, sawmill division manager.
Recognizing the growing need of merchandising not only a carcfully manufactured product, but also a.well seasoned, dry product, the first step in their sawmill building program is the erecting of an additional large storage shed for kilndried lumber.
The huge new building measuring 176' x 332' will actually house four complete sheds. Each shed is spanned with Teco connectored B0' free span trusses thus giving wide, clear floor space. Covering also an acre and onehalf of ground the new building will provide storage space for 5,800,000 feet oI lumber.
Typical designs for the roof truss construction were

supplied by the Timber Engineering Company. Harry W. Mitchell, sawmill engineer, designed the facilities and Peterson & MacFadyen of Little Rock are the contractors.
Along with present construction comes a new method of handling packaged hardwood lumber. This lumber is now stacked on bunks or in packages and carried to the yards to be air-dried. From the yards, carriers pick up the packages and carry them to a site near the kilns. A lift truck loads the packages onto kiln cars. Cars are elevated and transferred to the kilns where the hardwood lumber is dried with steam down to six per cent moisture content. From the dry end of the kilns, the cars, holding four packages of 1,000 board feet each, are lowered back to where the lift trucks take them down in a similar manner to the way they were loaded. Carriers pick up the packages and transport them to either the storage shed or to the flooring department.

Rudolph M. Weyerhaeuser, the last survivor of four sons of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, pioneer lumberman, passed away at his home in Saint Paul, Minnesota, July 12, at the age of 78 years. He had been suffering from a serious heart ailment for the past several weeks.
Mr. Weyerhaeuser was born in Coal Valley, Illinois, on March 11, 1868. He attended public school in Rock ' Island, Illinois, and Phillips Exeter Academy at Andover, Massachusetts. He rvas graduated from Shefifreld Scientific School at Yale University with a B. S. degree in 1891. While at Yale he was a member of the Berzelius Society.
After he graudated from college, he became associated in the lumber business with his oldest brother, John P. Weyerhaeuser, at Rock Island, Illinois. Later he moved to Saint Paul and took over the management of a line of retail lumber yards in southern Minnesota and Iowa.
In March, 1896, Mr. Weyerhaeuser's father and other associates formed The Northern Lumber Company and acquired the properties of the C. N. Nelson Lumber Company at Cloquet, Minnesota. He was placed in charge of The Northern Lumber Company at that time and directed its operations until 1945, in which year the company was liguidated.'
He was also an officer of the Cloquet Lumber Company and the Johnson-Wentworth Company, which operated manufacturing plants at Cloquet. At the time of his death he was chairman of the board of The Northwest Paper Company, which continues as one of the principal industries of northern Minnesota. He was also president of the Wood Conversion Company.
In the fall of 1918 the city of Cloquet was destroyed by a disastrous forest fire. Mr. Weyerhaeuser was largely responsible for the decision to re-establish the burned-out industries and to rebuild the town of Cloquet. It was a source of great satisfaction to Mr. Weyerhaeuser that the city of Cloquet grerv to be one of the most stable towns in the United States in respect to its industrial and labor relations.
In addition to his Minnesota connections, Mr. Weyerhaeuser was also an officer and director of other lumberproducing and distributing corporations. He was president of the Edward Rutledge Timber Company until this corporation was later merged with other Idaho companies into what is known as the Potlatch Forests, Inc. In 1935
he became president of Potlatch Forests, Inc., and remained so until a few weeks before his death. He was one of the founders of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, the distributing organization for many of the lumber manufacturing etnerprises with which he was connected, and remained a director until the time of his'death. He was also a director of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company at Tacoma, Washington. He held various positions with other corporations not connected with the lumber industry. He was a director of both the First National Bank of Saint Paul and of the Northern Pacific Railway, and president of the First National Bank of Cloquet.
Mr. Weyerhaeuser was greatly interested in several educational and charitable organizations. At the time of his death he was a member of the board of directors of. Macalester College and also of the Charles T. Miller Hospital. He had long been a member of the House of Hope Presbyterian Church, of Saint Paul. He was also a member of the Somerset County Club and the Minnesota Club. He was associated with Masonic bodies in Rock Island and Cloquet and was a member of the Osman Temple, Saint Paul.
He is survived by his wife, Irouise Lindeke Weyerhaeuser, his daughter, Mrs. Walter B. Driscoll, and two grandsons. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Samuel Sharpe,Davis of Rock Island, Illinois.
The funeral services were held at the House of Hope Presbyterian Church in Saint Paul on Monday afternoon, July 15.
Mrs. Louise Eshman Kerckhoff, widow of the late William G. Kerckhoff, passed away at her home in Los Angeles on July 18 after a long illness. She was 87 years of age.
Mrs. Kerckhoff was widely known as a sponsor and supporter of many charitable, educational and civic projects and continued projects started by her husband before his death. Among the better known were the Kerckhoff biological laboratories at the California Ingtitute of Technology; the William G. Kerckhoff Hall, which is the Students Union at the Los Angeles campus of the University of California, and the Kerckhoff Institute for the study of heart disease at Bad Nauheim, Germany.
Mrs. Kerckhofi was born in Terre Haute, Ind', birthplace also of her husband. They were married there in 1883, five years after his first visit to California, and they came to Los Angeles. Mr. Kerckhoff was a pioneer Los Angeles lumberman, and was president of the KerckhofiCuzner Mill & Lumber Co., from 1884 until his death, February 24, 1929. He was the first developer of hydro' electric power in Southern Californi4.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Webster B. Holmes and Mrs. Gertrude K. Young; two sisters, Josephine and Cora Eshman, and a brother, Melville G. Eshman. Funeral services were held on July 20.

You'll find many people rvho think the rvord "plywood" indicates the exact material they require.
But todayo the field of plyrvoods-like paper and plastics-is divided into manv types and classes. When a customer, therefore, merely asks for plywood, you'll do rvell to ask him where he intends to use it.
If it's for exterior work, he' of course, lrants $-aterproof Weldwood which is un' harmed by excessive dampness or soaking rain. For interior work, he should have lvaterresistant Weldwood. Both types are made in fancy hardrvoods as well as gum and fir (including Weldtex', the popular striated fir plvrvood).
I{ he lants a utility plyrvood for industrial or general construction, he rrill probably
find Fir Weldrt-ood satisfactorv. But for rvork which n-ill be painted or papered' Gum Veldrvood is usually a l)etter choice.
If the plyrvood he requires is for interior panelling-to bring new beauty plus dura' bility to inside rvallstell him about the rvide variety of charming Weldwood -Elord' r,ooods. From oak to mahogany, rvalnut to birch they bring distinction to offices, stores, public buildings, or medium-priced homes.
So, the next time a customer asks for plv' wood, you'll be doing him a friendly service (andperhaps improving your profits) ifyoure' mind him about the complete Weldwood line.
At present, Weldumd' d'eliueries are uncertain, due to gouernment housing priorities and, heauy Inck orders. We hope that this condition uill improue shortlv.
