Hardwood Plywoods, made of selected veneers, are once again becoming available in good supply. These popular panels, ideal in so many ways for interior decoration, are graduallv returning to normal trade channels.

Birch Plywood is popular and economical; takes a stain or paint finish equally well. It is a very attractive wall paneling when finished in natural color. Oak panels, both plain and guartered, are available in uniform color. These are also well suited for interior walls. Panels from American Black \$/'alnut are widely used for furniture, home and office interiors. They are beautiful, smooth-grained, easily worked. Gum panels have special utility and, when filled and polished, have a satiny, translucent appearance. The finest grain effects of natural wood are found in Genuine Mahogany panels and, whether given light or dark finishes, these panels are extremely attractive.

Depend on Harbor for all construction materials of the panel type. \7'rite or phone your requirements and prompt attention will be given your inquiry.

THE CALIFOR}IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

How lrumber lrooks

The lumber market shor'ved considerable strength during the past month. The demand is strong, and the greatest call has been for dimension, boards and uppers. The retailers are doing more business, and their inventories are reported lorver than they rvere 60 days ago.

'Ihe July holiday shutdorvns were more general this year throughout the industry, some of tl-re mills were down from one to three weeks, reducing tl-re output a great deal; the Eastern and Middle West trade are buying heavily; and fear o[ a car shortage has brought a 1ot of buyers into the market.

Among the items in Douglas fir that are particularly strong and scarce are 2x4's random length, 2x1-8' (studs), one-inch boards and uppers.

'Ihc l)ine and Itedrvood markets are very firm, and uppers are hard to get.

Iled Cedar shingle prices have also stiffened. Straight cars of No. 1 shingles are difficult to buy.

Southern Pine prices declined sharply a month ago, but are now climbing back again in the face of a great demand. Horvever, there is a leveling off as to grades and items, putting them in more normal position than they have been.

Portland, Oregon, July 9.-Orders, shipments and production of Douglas fir lumber for the first six months of 1947 are substantially ahead of the first half of 1946, Harris E. Smith, secretary of the \\rest Coast Lumbermen's Association, announced today.

Smith said shipments for the first six months of 1947 totaled 3,5W,942,UJ0 board feet, 112.5% of 1946; orders were l2O/o of last year at 3,565,477,000 board feet and production reached 3,481,037,000 board feet, 111.7/o over last year.

"Outlook today is that the Douglas fir lumber region rvill pour nearly seven billion feet of lumber into the home building and construction industries this year," Smith said.

The 'iveekly average of West Coast lumber production in June (4 weeks) was 141,312,000 board feet. Orders averaged 125,379,000 b.f. ; shipments 129,322,000 b.f. Weekly averages for May \\,ere : Procluction 134,416,000 b.f. ; orders 127,887,000; shipments 134,928,000.

Trventy-six weeks for 1947, cumulative production 3,481,037,000 b.f.;26 weeks, 1946, 3,115,439,000; 26 weeks, 1945, 3,657,+96,0ffi.

Orders lor 26 weeks ol 1917 break dorvn as follows: l(ail 2,287,083,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 402,227,0m; export 539,776,O00; local 336,391,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 567,984,000 b.f. at the end of June; gross stocks at 433,450,000.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended July \2, IOS mills reporting, gave orders as 66,577,N0 feet, shipments, 46,281,000 feet, and production 58,507,@0 feet. Orders on hand at the 'end of the week totaled 198,466,000 feet.

Effectively combining humorous entertainment with a forthright appeal to those who visit or rvork in the Nation's forests that they help prevent the tragic waste of muchneeded timber caused each year by forest fires, "Red llot Rangers," a new technicolor cartoon just issued by NfetroGoldwyn-Mayer Pictures, has a special interest for lumbermen, foresters, and others interested in forest conservation.

"Red Hot Rangers" stars a couple of comedy bears, "George" and "Junior," who locate, battle, and subseqnently extinguish a stubborn forest fire. \\rhile the fire-fighting techniques of the trvo bears are somewhat unorthodox from the woodsman's standpoint, the film nevertheless dramatically points out how most forest fires are caused by persons careless rvith matches, "smokes" or campfires and constantly reminds the spectator that these fires constitute a serious problem.

"Red Hot Rangers" rvill be shown in some 17,000 commercial theatres during the coming year. An elaborate promotion campaign has been developed by MGM and it is expected that State and Federal foresters in many localities will join forces rvith individual theatre managers and booking offices to support the film's shorving with exhibits and other material to bring the serious messag'e of forest-fire prevention close home.

Probably you can sell all the windows, almost any kind of sash, you can produce today. But we're looking ahead to the time when competition will b'e flooding the market-a time, indeed, when you'll be glad to control an exclusive patented window unit

which the public will insist on getting (Marquart's # pltt will take care of that) !

The Marquart Representative is no Paul Bunyan capable of covering a half dozen states in a half dozen strides; he must rely on conventional tranSportation. That's why we suggest a telegram or quick letter so that he can be sure to include you in his regular itinerary. Rather important to get the facts, don't you think?

There are plenty of sash units on the mirkct, brit thdre is no unit in the world like this. And no woman is ever going to take anything else once she sees the Miracle rVindow Unit demonstrated, Vhv?

Tree Farms Dedicated

The Western Pine industry's tree-growing program held the spotlight in California June 27 and 28, when two productive forest properties were formally dedicated as Tree Farms.

Shasta county rvas the locale for one ceremony, Siskiyou county the other. At Burney on June 27 the 18,000-acre forest of the Scott Lumber Company, one of the first 'Iree Farms certified by the Western Pine Association, rvas dedicated to its mission of gro.r,ving continuous' tree crops. On the following day similar exercises were held near McCloud for the McCloud River Lumber Company's Tree Farm of 79,000 acres.

"Where can we gro\&' our tree crops ? Right here is one place," said Stuart Moir, chief forester of the Western Pine Association, in presenting a {ramed tree farm certificate to Raymond H. Berry, general manager of the Scott Lumber Company, at a dinner ceremony in Burney Civic hall attended by close to 200 people. Prior to the dinner there had been an outdoor dedication ceretnony in the heart of the company's managed forest.

Many state and regional notables attended. Among speakers were Homer B. Jamison, president of the Western Pine Association; Gen. Warren T. Hannum, California state director of natural resources ; State Forester DeWitt Nelson; Regional U.S. Forester P. A. Thompson, and Swift Berry, general manager of the Michigan-California Lumber Company of Camino, whose 77,}O}-acre tree farm was similarly dedicated trvo years ago.

The Scott Lumber Company tree farm was certified b-y the association February 29, 1944, being the third to enter tree farm ranks in California, but dedication was postponed until after the 'lvar rush.

forest stretches for miles in all directions in the shadow of Mount Shasta, simple roadside exercises were held June 28 for the McCloud River Lumber Company's Tree Farm. Association Forester Moir presented the certificate scroll to J. P. Hennessy, general manager. In brief talks by several of the same men who had spoken at Burney the day before, a productive future was predicted for the green and thriving acres that make up the McCloud River forest.

These trvo tree farms are part of the growing tree farm system sponsored by the Western Pine Association in the l2-state region rvhere the Western Pines grow. In California there are now 24, totaling 500,116 acres. In the Western Pine region as a whole there are 113 Tree Farms, totaling 2,403,117 acres. More are in the pro'cess of coming into the program, Forester Moir said. This is part of a national activity, the most rdcent tally showing 1,121 Tree Farms ol 13,925,225 acres throughout the United States.

The large increase in wages given John L. Lewis' miners has created much discussion as to its e,ffects. Some say that it will increase the price of coal, and all the products that coal assists in making; which is practically everything. Others, who approved the deal, claim that'it will prevent almost unlimited loss of production in all the major basic industries, and therefore more than offset the more direct inflationary tendencies. You take your choice.

Speaking of prices, ,h" l:*;r, industry can truthfully say that it is probably the only basic industry that has red'uced prices in the last few months, in the face of infationary activity in most other lines. And the reductions have been considerable.

The predicted summer slump in business has entirely failed to show up. The latest release by the Federal Census Bureau showed that 60,055,000 civilians were working in June, an all time high for peace or war. Add the military and the total is 61,453,000 souls employed. The earnings and purchasing power of this great army of well-paid workers keeps the economic level high.

How the thought ot tirrri..frJ*r", has taken hold of the lumber manufacturing industry. In a recent interview, F. E. Weyerhaeuser, of Tacoma, Washington, told a newspaper man that Weyerhaeuser's 2,100,000 acres of Western timber land is strictly a scientifically controlled timber farm on which they are growing trees for all time to come.

Ilorace Greeley's advice-"Go West, young 631"-1pxg given before the day of the "disc-jockey," Today he would undoubtedly say to the ambitious youngster-"get yourself a disc-jockey job." If the things we read in the papers and mags can be in any part relied upon, then the heaviest inflation in this country today is in the pay of the so-called "disc-jockeys," meaning men who act as master of ceremonies for radio programs made up of records, commercials, and little bits of talk on the part of the "jockeys." Just why these huge incomes are paid for jobs requiring so little, is something that none of the writers on the subject seem to explain. They tell us that these boys who simply announce a record to be played, utter a commercial, or spring a gag, get as high as four hundred thousand dollars a year for so doing. Read that over again if you want to know what inflation reallY means.

Hitler wrote in his terrible book Mein Kampf-that book that preceded the late war and the reading of which filled the world with nameless dread: "It will be my duty to fight the next war in such terrible manner that my enemies cannot endure it." In that he was a prophet. For he DID so fight; and we who won are not entirely certain yet about enduring it.

An army of women have been driven out of the house and into jobs in recent months by the difficulty of making ends meet with only the husband's earnings to depend on.

To prove that this is really a "Vagabond" column, I often incorporate something strictly for the scrapbooks of readers. Here is one I think many of you lovers of eloquence will appreciate-and clip. You seldom think of doctors when thinking of human eloquence. So I offer a portion of a speech made long ago by a medico, that ranks among the highest. In 1878 the dreadful scourge of Yellow Fever swept parts of the South. Two young doctors, partners in practice, heard the call of duty, closed their office, and went down to fight the dreaded fever. One of them, Dr. Manning, died. Doctor Swearingen survived. Returning home, Dr. Swearingen was asked to speak at a memorial service for Manning, and the following part of his remarks, perfect samples of the entire speech, I offer for your scrapbook:

"Life for Manning *""-r"i, J "rr"rrrr. Every ripple of the river was a melody. Success and prosperity, handmaidens of pleasure, came at his command. Fame had already claimed him as her favorite-ehi\! and showered honors ori him. Friendship paid !e* -itehes-n qributes to him, hope whispered her sweetes!'"stories, and l\e, almost divine in its purity, had thrillef.his heart with ecstgcy, garlanded.his life with roses, and flled his world with r4usic. Thus surrounded, with everSi wish gratified, with every day gemmed with a triumph a4fl every hour sparkling with a joy, in the bloom of youth pnd the glory of manhood, he heard the wailing cry for hflp and went down to that beleaguered city. i'r*{<

"He died where the true soldier glorifs in dying, in the front rank and;gn the field of battle. /\Me cannot all be great, but we can be useful. We carLhot all have marble tablets, gilded rhausoleums and muldd columns, to mark our last resting b,lace. But we caSi{ have, as he had, our image implanted itt:qhe hearts of.pved companions, and our monument in the tear\-that-falf around our graves. Let us cherish the memory and emulate the virtues of our dead hero, and live as he lived, and die as he died, at the post of duty."

Wall Street Journal Givet Weyerha euser

Splendid lfrite-Up

The June 25th issue of the "Wall Street Journal" paid unusual attentic,n to a lunrber concern, the \\reyerhaeuser Timber Company and its subsidiaries. More than three colums are devoted to this story, which u'as especially prepared on the grounds by a staff rvriter. In three newspaper columns it gives the la-vman a very clear and definite picture of this great lumber organization, rvhich is lrequently referred to in the lumber industry as being "big as General Motors."

The Journal story treats mostly of the progressiveness of the organization, and of the wise and mighty efforts tl-rat are beinig made to perpetuate itself in a big r,vay, and at the same time develop continually more and better products from trees. It tells of the great laboratory at Longview, Washington, where 44 high class technicians have nothing to do but delve into trees and tree fiber to see rvhat can be Ccne with this material that has not been done before; also of Cloquet, Minnesota, where another great laboratory has developed wonderful and practical products norv well knorvn to the building trade.

Much is said about the Weyerhaeuser plant at Longvielv, Washington, 'ivhere, in addition to three sawmills, other units of rvood use have been built or are lteing built to use everything that comes from a Fir 1og, including the bark. A second pulp plant is being built there now, also a nerv plyrvood plant, and a wonderful bark 'plant has been completecl and is in operation. At various of these units they make valuable things other than lumber. At one they erd-lock short lumber to make "mile long" lumber; as long as they please. At another they convert dry sar.vdust into highly compressed fireu'ooci, using 44 of their orvn patented n.rachines for so doing. In addition they lease out 27 of these machines on a royalty basis, and are now btrilding 12 mote. That's horv big Weyerhaeuser sidelines oef

Weyerhaeuser is builcling a new lumber mill at Spring6eld, Oregon, end rvill immediately build another at North I3end, Oregon.

Its more than tu.o million acres of timber land are being treated as prac'iical .tree farms, and a perpetual supply of timber is conficlently planned. There is more than fifty billion feet of comlnercial timber on these lands at present. \Veyerhaeuser products sold for more than $66,0@,@O in 1946.

Shifting the Loan

A Chicago small time gambler went over to New York to "buck the tiger," and ended up broke. So he decided to phone a big shot gambler back in Chicago, and ask for help. He got the big shot on the phone, and said:

"They cleaned me up in a crap game here last night. How about sending me twenty-five hundred, and I'll pay you when I get back?"

The big shot said: "I can't understand you."

Plywood Fcrrm Inlormcrtion

Throughout the lvar-and even before-an extensive research program has been conducted by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association devoted to the development of more useful construction with plywood on the farms of the nation. State universities and colleges have published at least 149 blueprint plans and bulletins for plywood farm buildings The Plywood Association will promptly furnish a catalog listing such literature upon request. Write the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington.

So the other said it over again, louder. Again the big shot replied that he couldn't understand a word he said. Again the other raised his voice and shouted into the phone. Again the big shot said he couldn't hear him. Then the telephone operator cut in and said:

"I can hear him as plainly as can be."

"Okay," said the big shot. "Then YOU PAY HIM."

Lumbermen Oppose Proposed \(/age Boost

Washington, D. C., July 8, |947.-Affirming that the establishment of wage rates is not a Federal function and calling for a thorough revamping of the Wage and Hour Law, Mr. A. J. Glassow, first vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, testified today before the Subcommittee on Wages and Hours of the House Labor Committee in opposition to a proposed increase in the minimum wage.

"A noticeable trend of business firms to confine activities to intrastate commerce rather than interstate resulted from the passage of the original Wage and Hour Law," Mr. Glassow stated. Within the lumber manufacturing industry, he continued, this trend would be accentuated if the law is further extended. This would disrupt normal distribution channels and make it more difficult for veterans and other builders to get lumber.

Mr. Glassow, general manager of Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., Bend, Oregon, pointed out to the committee that his company is in no way directly affected by the proposal to increase the minimum wage to 6O cents. Minimum wage at his company's operation is $1.30 per hour straight time; average wage in the sawmill, $1.70 per hour; average wage in his logging operation, $1.86 per hour; the Oregon lumberman stated.

"Only a small segment of our rvhole economy is directly affected by the proposed increase in minimum 'il'ages," Mr. Glassow told the committee. "It is inescapable, horvever, that the changing of the wages of the lowest paid workers . . . will mean a substantial increase in rvages 'across the board' for all employers."

Branding the establishment of a rigid minimum lvage as an "unnecessary and unhealthy curtailment of the freedom of enterprise," Mr. Glassow charged that the proposed increase is an admission "that \ve can never return our economy to a prewar level; that the rvartime inflation of wag'es and prices is permanent."

Calling for a full review of rvhat he terrled "hasty and ill-conceived" Wage and Hour legislation before any step is taken to extend it, Mr. Glassorv took exception rvith the Committee's announced intention to consider only the minimum rvage clause of the legislation during the current hearings. "It is wrong," he stated, "for your committee to try to come to a logical conclusion on a sullject of sucl-r

grave importance in a very short space of time without any consideration of the fundamental error involved in the statutory determination of wages."

Through endorsement of this proposed increase, Mr. Glassow charged, labor unions are relinquishing their primary function and tacitly admitting their inability to determine wages through collective bargaining.

If helping the working man raise his standard of living is the purpose of the Committee and of the proposed legislation, Mr. Glassow concluded, it r,r'ill not be accomplished so long as our economy is hamstrung with biased, unjust, and unintended interpretations of the Wage Hour Act.

Crates lor Cantaloupes

An average season's cantaloupe shipments from California and Arizona total about 23,0ffi carloads or, roughly, 7,500,000 crates, of which practically all are the Jumbo size with a small proportion of Standards and Ponies. The shipments start first in the Imperial Valley, usually about May 15, running through July 4. This area, including Blythe, accounts for approximately 3,000,000 crates. The Yuma, Arizona, deal starts about May ZS and runs through July 4, with the Phoenix, Arizona crop starting to move July 1 and running to about mid-August. This combined Arizona territory will use about 2,000,000 crates. The balance of the shipments comes from Central California, starting about June 25 and extending into the middle of September. This area extends from Delano to Woodland with the biggest volume moving from the West Side district of the San Joaquin Valley. This crop amounts to approximately 2,50O,00O crates. (American Eagle.)

in fhis "77. billion-o-yecr" success?

NIEVER was there a partnership like the nation-wide brotherhood of vol- I .| unteers who have helped sell, advertise, and promote U. S. Savings Bonds! Their program is the greatest sales operation at the lowest cost in history. Last year sales of Savings Bonds were 7l btllion doll*s-erceeding redemptions by oaer a billion dollars.

Retailers merit a major share of the credit for this splendid achievement, for during 1946 retail stores donated 4l.3lo of all sponsored ads on E Bonds. Their work has been a powerful tool in building security for the narion et large and for millions of Bond-holders individually.

Now the important thing is to keep up the good work. Ffere are two ways: ( 1) Devote a generous portion of your advertising schedule to the "Buy Where You Bank" plan, explained in the box. (2) Build up your Payroll Savings Plan. No. I brings your store good-will. No. 2 bring;s a feeling of exra security to your employees, enables them to be happier, better workers. And botb steps build future buying power-future securiry -for your store, your community, and your country. Every $3 put into Savings Bonds pays $4 at maturity.

BEGINNING in June the Treasury Departrnent and the banks of America will make it possiblefor people not on the Payroll Savingp Plan to purchase Bonds monthly on an "automadc" arrangement with their banks.This progrem is intended for selfemployed people and others to whom the advantages of Payroll Savings are not available.

Support this new campaign by devoting some of your advertising space to the '.Buy Where You Bank" plan.

Lumber Career Sketches

li* florlry

Here is a recent picture of Jim Farley, assistant Western sales manager of The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, one of the most rvidely known executives of the California Red'rvood industry, and one of the best liked. He has made the sale and promotion of Redlvood lumber his career, and it is conceded that he has done an excellent job. The leadership he has provided in trade promotion u'ork over a period of vears for the Redwood industry has been an inspiration and an example to others. As a member of the California Redwood Association's trade promotion committee he has given without stint of his own time and ability to this work. During the war he made many trips to Washington to assist the OPA advisory committee, and in connection rvith other important assignments.

Through Jim's effort the movie "California Giants" has been shown in all parts of the United States and in many foreign countries.

Born in Nelv Brunswick, Canada, where his grandfather had a sawmill in the early days, James J. Farley came to California in 1910 as a boy of 15. In 1913 he graduated from Fortuna High School. From 1913 to 1915 he attended the University of California. Having decided to get into the lumber business he r'r'orked for the Hammond Lumber Company at Samoa in 1915 and 1916. In January l9l7 he started to work for The Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia.

Then in June l9l7 he enlisted in the 144th Field Artillery. Two years later, in June 1919, he was discharged as Znd Lieutenant and returned to The Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia. He rvas moved to the San Francisco offrce in

July. In January 1920 he went on the road in the San Joaquin Valley for Pacific, replacing Fred Lamon, who lrad joined the Wendling-Nathan organization. In 1927 he was moved into the San Francisco office and has been there since that time.

In 1922 Mr. Farley married Miss Mildred Bush of Fortuna, an old school mate. They have adopted two children, a boy and a girl, both practically from birth. The boy, Kim, was born in October 1936, and Jennifer in February, 1942. This happy family lives in Berkeley, Calif., in a home built of California Redwood, with a Redwood patio. Jim's hobbies are taking care of his family, and gardening, and he admits that these take up most of his spare time.

Probable Western Pine Consumption For Third Quarter of 1947

Portland, Oregon, June ?7.-An analysis of second quarter 1947 manufacture of Idaho White I'ine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated rvoods and probable third quarter 1947 consumption rvas released today by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager, Western Pine Association. The statement in full is as follows:

"The record level'of lumber production in the Western Pine region rvas continued through the second quarter with a cut of 1894 million feet. \\reather was generally good and many seasonal mills got into operation a few rveeks earlier tl-ran usual. A small group of Inland Empire mills vi'ere struck by the IWA-CIO on June 18 and most of them are still down, but otherwise there has been no labor trouble during the quarter. Total regional production for the first half of the year is estimated at 2989 million feet, an alltime high for that period.

Estimated second quarter shipments of 1703 million feet, although 6 per cent above shipments for the same 1946 period, fell somewhat short of the March 3l forecast of l8O0 million feet. Undoubtedly seconcl quarter shipments r'vere retarded by the necessity, under changing market conditions, of better seasoning, particularly b1- the smaller mills and in the case of Douglas fir and white fir lumber. This development, which corrects a pi-actice resulting from the need for quick deliveries during ancl immediately after the rvar, is to the best interest of the industry and of its customers.

Seasoning of lumber by the srnaller mills requires a greater volume of stocks, though the ir,crease during the second quarter u'as but little more than a normal seasonal increase. Stocks of 1032 million feet on June 30 are up 197 million feet from a year ago but still are only about half the preu'ar volume.

The u'idely advertised coming recession so far has failed tcr materialize and the general level of business continues close to its postwar peak. Prices of many building materials are still relatively high in spite of repeated attempts by the government to talk them dou'n. Construction costs are coming down, holvever, because supplies of most materials are becoming readily available, black and gray market prices need no longer be paid and contractors are able to pick more efficient rvorkmen and get materials to keep

them busy. Predictions are that f.or 1947 building completions will exceed those in 1946, rvhich will require a tremendous volume of lumber.

Based upon all available information, it nor,v seems probable that during the third quarter of 1947, shipments (consumption) of lumber by the Western Pine industry rvill approximate 1750 million feet or about 4 per cent under the same quarter of 19.16. This estimate takes into consideration the fact that many companies r,vill give their employees vacations early in July and it assumes that the strike in the Inland E,mpire rvill be cleared up soon without spreading to additional oDerations."

Ycnkee Vclor, Derby Winner, Dies

Yankee Valor, winner of the recent Hollywood Derby, died suddenly on Jul-v 24 at Hollywood Park. Death came to the California-bred son oi Heelfly-Valoria at 3 a.m., just 24 hours after he was striken by his fatal illness. Gastric typany, the most fatal form of colic, was given as cause of death after a post-mortem.

Winner of $109,475 during his racing career of a little more than a year, Yankee Valor was considered probably the greatest California-bred 3-year-old since racing was restored in California. He rvas insured for approximately $60,000.

Yankee Valor rvas owned and bred by Col. L. G' Burns, Los Angeles lumberman, and was buried on his Elobee Farm in Canoga Park.

Wcrnted: Successful Method For Debarking Redwood Logs

One of the outstanding "rt'ants" of the lumber industry of California is a successful method of removing the bark from Redu.ood logs. A11 methods employed up to the present are tedious, slorv, and expensive, due to the great thickness, weight, and stringy character of the bark. Here is a chance for some man rvho u,ants to "clean up" in a practical manner, to do so, and at the same time confer great benefits on the Redwood industry. Barking methods employed in Northrvest plyu'ood plants fail 'ivith Redn'ood because the bark fails to crumble as it does with Fir, but comes off in long, heavy striPs.

The Rockport Redwood Company has recently installed a remanufacturing plant at Rockport, California, equipped to saw small logs, and prepare the lumber for market'

BeLeved The Largest Plywood Panel NRLDA Annual Meetins October 28-?1

Ever Produced

Believed the largest plywood panel ever produced, a 72x10-foot sheet of Douglas fir plywood has just been manufactured by Washington Veneer Co. of Olympia, Wash.

The elongated panel has a surface area oI 720 square feet, enough to completely enclose a house 20 feet long, 16 feet wide and rvith rvalls l0 feet high. The oversize sheet is almost an inch thick-13/16-inch to be exact. It contains 618.75 cubic feet of Douglas fir rvood and rveighs 1,656 pounds.

Although this n.rassive plyr,vood panei rvas produced expressly for a Fourth of July parade in the capital city of Washington state, the technique employed to produce the big sheet frorn standard size panels is the same as has been successfully follou'ed for several years to make highlyuseful large plyrvood panels.

Crux of the manufacture of oversize panels is the "scarfing" or beveling of ends of standard size units, usually 4 x 8 feet, and bonding several segments together in a continuous sheet. Already the oversize material is u'idely used for hulls, decks and cabins of boats, for railroad cars and trucks, for outdoor signs and other special applications.

Most extra size plyw6od manufactured thus far is in panels up to 30 feet long and 4 or 5 feet rvide. Horvever, panels as wide as the one displayed at Olympia and any

Washington, D. C., June 27.-Solution to maladjustments arising out of the post-war reconversion period. will be sought at the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's annual meeting scheduled October 28, 29, 30, and 31 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City, Secretary H.

A11 reservations, however, must be made through the National office. Further details regarding available space and manner of registration at the various hotels rvill be furnished later.

An executive committee meeting rvill be held on Mondav. October 27.

Buy Chowchillcr Lumber Co.

The United Lumber Yards, James B. Stricker, president, with headquarters at Modesto have purchased the Chorvchilla Lumber Co. at Cl-rowchilla from A.H. Vieth, the owner, and took possession July first. The United Lumber Yards are or,vned by the Winton Lumber Co. at Minneapolis and have seven other yards in the Central Californiaafea.

Blueprints Available for Distribution

Sets of blueprints detailing three forms of wall framing are available for distribution, and may be obtained without charge by writing the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S. W. I\forrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.

The blueprints illustrate stud walls without bracing but with diagonal sheathing; stud walls with let-in bracing and horizontal sheathing; and stud walls with cut-in bracing and horizontal sheathing.

Given on the blueprints are the relative stifiness and strength factors of the three types of construction as ,compared to a basic stud wall with horizontal sheathing and no bracing. Methods of construction shown are from 1.6 to 7 times stiffer and 1.4 to 8 times stronger than the basic wall in resistance to lateral loads such as wind and earthquakes.

The blueprints are convenient counter size, 7rf by 9% inches, and have been designed to meet the needs of builders, contractors and dealers. They may be obtained in quantitl' lots by dealers wishing to make their own distri'bution.
