Portland, Oregon, July 14-Mill stocks at West Coast

Douglas fir sawmills dropped about B0 .million feet in June below May record postwar totals of 1,011,833,000 board feet, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Douglas fir lumber production for the first six months of 1949 ]s 423 million feet below 1948 output and 189 million feet below 1947 cut, Smith said.

Lumber shipments, orders and production have been almost identical for the first six months of the year, Smith said. Douglas fir sawmills have taken 4,095,499,000 board feet of orders; have produced 4,080,247,W0 board feet and shipped 4,137,991,000 board feet through June 30'

I\{ill stocks at the end of June stood at 932,277,000 boatd feet compared to the record postwar May totals of 1,01 1,833'000 board feet, the lumber executive pointed out. During June lumber shipments outstripped both production and or'ders. Shipments for June averaged 174,899,000 board feet weekly as compared with 158,832,000 board feet average production and average weekly orders of 155,832,000 board feet' Smith said lumber production for July would be afiected somewhat by the vacation shutdowns of a number of sawmills. Some mills gave their crews vacations prior to Julv Fourth holidays and some are taking vacation periods following Independence Day.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in June was 159,832,000 b.f. or 1069% of the 1943-1948 average.

Orders averaged 155,141,000 b.f. ; Shipments 174,889,000 b.f'

Weekly averages for N{ay were: Production 172,269,000 b.f(1I5.2% of the 1943-1948 average). Orders 157,860,000 b.f'; Shipments 170,028,000 b.f.

Twenty-six weeks of 1949 cumulative production 4,080,247,000 b.f.; twenty-six weeks of 1948, 4,444,12I,000 b.f'. twenty-six weeks of 1947, 4,269,584,000.

Paul Hallingby Proves First Class Writer o[ Poetry

Paul Hallingby is Sales Manager for the Hammond Lumber Company, in Los Angeles, and one of the most highll' prized lumber figures in California, has long been known to his friends as a gentleman of parts. But few of them realized that Paul was a poet. And not just a writer of indifferent doggerel, but good, first-class stuff. This fact came out recently when he was one of a group of Los Angeles trade trip boosters who went to Alaska to advertise his home city. The trip was in charge of Charles P. Bayer, assistant to the president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, an all-around man of high degree in Chamber activities.

At a combined meeting of the Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce in the city of Ketchikan, Alaska, Mr. Hallingby wrote a poem eulogizing Mr. Bayer, and read it to the assembly. Here it is:

..OUR CHARLIE"

Do you want to go on a Chamber trip ?

Ask Charlie.

Whether by rail or plane or shipAsk Charlie.

And once the trip is on the go

You turn to this same old so and so

And whatever it is you want to knowAsk Charlie !

Why is it raining so much of the time? Ask Charlie.

Why don't we have more sunny clime ? Ask Charlie.

Ifow can I get this ink off my suit?

Why did they whistle that extra toot ?

Why don't they go by the other route ? Ask Charlie.

What can I do for my aching feet ?

Ask Charlie.

Who is that blonde in the corner seat? Ask Charlie.

Is the local tobacco strong or mild ?

Are the native women really wild ?

I need some diapers for my childAsk Charlie.

Who chases a\rray any traces of gloom? Our Charlie.

Who pleases all ages from cradles to tomb ? Our Charlie.

And when you go on your final tourTo Hell, if you're bad-to Heaven, if pure; The Conductor you'll want-of this I'm sure, Is Charlie.

President Signs Housing Bill

President Truman signed the long-range housing bill on July 8.

The bill calls for 810,000 Federally-financed, low-rent housing units in the next six years; a $1,500,000,000 five-year program of slum clearance, and a $325,000,000 program of farm home improvements.

It also calls for a broadened program of Federal research into better and cheaper housing methods, and provides for temporary continuance of the government's mortgage insurance program.

Under the public housing section, the Federal governmeut is authorized to spend up to $308,000,000 a year for the next 40 years to pay the difference between operating costs of lowrent public housing and the income from rentals'

This money goes only to subsidize the low rentals until the local housing authorities pay off their construction loans and can handle the operating costs without loss themselves. The Federal government also can lend up to $1,500,000,000 to finance the building of public housing units, but this must be repaid by local communities.

The slum clearance section permits the government to lend up to $1,000,000,000 at any one time to finance the cost of buying and clearing slum properties. Another $500,000,000 can be given to communities to compensate them for twothirds of any losses they sustain in reselling the slum areas.

Air Shipment Saved the Day

An airplane made it possible for a Houston manufacturer to meet a deadline on some doors for an apartment project, when it dropped out of the skies on June 30, rvith the first sizeable quantity of lumber to be shipped by air recently as a rush order.

The King Redwood, Inc., of Long Beach, California, had a special order for their sawmill on Elk Creek for some redwood which their Houston representatives, Sander-Cederlof & Associates, had sold to the Venetian Window Company oi 1123 Hub, Houston. It was needed to finish up a rush order for 150 jalousie doors. These are special type ventilated doors using an adjustable redwood louvre which enables the owner either to provide ventilation by opening it or to make it u'eather proof by closing it tight against weather.

Since time was an important item Ford Albritton, Jr., manager of the Venetian Window Company in Houston called Erik Flamer, vice president and sales manager of King Redwood, Inc., at Long Beach, California, by phone. Almost immediately six thousand feet of redwood lumber was loaded on a Slick Airways plane-and the day was saved.

Sam Goldwyn gets credit for the champion understatement of the season. When someone mentioned the atom bomb, Sam is alleged to have said: "THAT STUFF'S DYNAMITE."

Speaking of the bomb, * **i" written a Congressional committee is still investigating the administration of Chairman Lilienthal of the Atomic Energy Commission. What softies we are ! Many weeks ago when he admitted on the stand that he was knowingly educating active Communists '.vith our tax money and thought it was the right thing to do, he should have been kicked out on his head without an hour's notice.

He's as fit for that job * tin'" fit for a munitions depot.

I have a book on my shelf that is filled with hundreds of cases of misconceptions and misquotations of history. But nothing in that book compares with something I have just read in the current issue of Colliers. Like countless millions of people I have long treasured as one of the most beautiful of all Irish songs-if not the very top-"I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen." You, gentle reader, have probably done the same. No list of Irish songs and no Irish program is ever complete without that haunting and tuneful song of the heart. For generations that lovely tune has been melting Irish hearts.

t< >k d<

And now I learn through Colliers that it is really a German song, written by a German-American music teacher in Chicago as a promise to his wife to take her back some day to her old home in Germany. Isn't that a shock? Thomas Westendorf, according to this authority, was a music teacher and composer who lived in Chicago in 1875, and he wrote ':I'll Take You ffome Again Kathleen" for his wife who was lonesome for her Fatherland. You will recall as you run over the words of the song that there is no mention of Ireland or any other country. Perhaps it was the name "Kathleen" that developed the misunderstanding.

While not doubtin* ,ol ". *l*"rra the authenticity of the Colliers statement, I must admit that the knowledge leaves me kind of cold. My mother was Irish and sang me Irish songs throughout my very young days, and her favorites were "Kathleen Mavourneen," "I'll Take You Flome Again Kathleen," and "The Lass from the County Mayo." Wonder if I'll ever enjoy the Kathleen song as much again? For surely the truth has destroyed one of my fondest illusions.

Of all the strange misunderstandings and misconceptions of history, I think that nothing compares with those which concern the Biblical character, Mary Magdalene. To the world she has come to be known as "The Magdalene," the scarlet lady, the sinful woman. Artists have painted pictures of her in that character. She has been depicted with flowing hair and tearful eyes, waiting on the Carpenter of Nazareth. History has so painted her. And what a damage suit she could bring against posterity.

Biblical students are at a loss to explain it. For there is not a single word of that sort about her in the Bible. Mary Magdalene, instead, was one of the loveliest characters of the New Testament. She was the close friend and companion of the Virgin Mary, a friend and companion of Jesus, and the first person to whom He appeared after He rose from the Sepulchre. Yet from thousands of walls the world over there looks down from framed pictures a sad, weeping, sinful woman, called Magdalene. Just goes to prove what so many have said, that everybody talks about the Bible, but nobody reads it. ***

Brother, what a tempest I could start by naming other glaring and popular misconceptions and misunderstandings of the Bible. I won't risk it. But when Bruce Barton called it "The Book Nobody Knows" and wrote a grand book under that title, he was certainly stating a most potent and provable fact. Followers of religious faiths generally read the Bible with blinkers on their eyes. Instead of seeking the Truth they often seek to Drove that their own particular religious faith is the true and only road to salvation. So they miss a lot. Take the blinkers off, brother, and read that Book. It's swel..

I can't resist the temptation to hand out one little sample. About keeping holy the Sabbath day. An earnest young follower of the Carpenter once asked Him the direct question, what must a man do to have eternal life? And just as directly and simply Jesus answered. And He gave him just six commandments to keep, five of the Ten Commandments of Moses, and that newer commandment of His own that thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Why only these? Nothing about keeping holy the Sabbath day, for example. Not a word for the Blue Law adherents to pin their faith to. Read it in Matthew, and Ponder on it'

city, it was in the dead of winter, and a terrible blizzatd was blowing. It was far below zero, and everything was storming and freezing. The dying man said to his sorrowing family gathered about him: "Send for a Priest." They said "What do you mean-a Priest? Don't you want a Rabbi?" And Cohen said*: "'What-on a night like this?"

The figures showing the loss of human life by violence o*er the Fourth of July holiday week end, were shocking and staggering. They grow continually. The majority of lives were lost in traffic accidents. Which brought to mind Wilson Mizner's great crack: "More people get run down by gossip than by automobiles."

I want to reply to a lot of letters that keep coming to me from various parts of the country, asking if I have ever compiled a book of tny Vagabond Editorials, and suggesting that if not I should go ahead and do so, thus making them available in handy form. That suggestion has come to me continually for many years. Long ago Thomas Dreier, famous Eastern author, journalist, and publicity wizard., made that suggestion to me. He thought it would be a much sought after b*ook. *

The answer is that I have long considered doing that very thing, but have never yet summed up the courage to tackle it. f even went so far as to compile in typewritten form what I thought were my best writings. It would take a whole lot of work, and require a lot of energy, and so far I haven't made the leap. Twenty years ago I got so many urgings from my friends to compile a book of my favorite stories that I went ahead and did so. I wrote "Cullud Fun," a book of darkey stories. Later I followed it with another called "Lotsa Fun," made up of dialect stories of all kinds. Both sold freely, and both are out of print long ago. ***

But that was twenty years ago, and I have twenty years less ambition and twenty years less surplus energy than f had then, so the editorial book may never be written. I am grateful for the kindly things my friends say about these writings, and there is always a chance that my ambitions may overcome my laziness, and I may tackle the job. Anyway, I'd like to.

The editor of a great l.rin.l" newspaper told me recently in a street conversation that my Vagabond Editorials were the "most stimulating" reading matter that comes to his desk. That was praise indeed, from such a man. He hit the nail of my ambitions and intentions right on the head when he said "stimulating." That is exactly what I try for and aim at every time I shove a sheet of yellow paper into this typewriter. It takes vigorous and rugged reading to make people think these days. Smooth and charming diction belongs not in the times we live in. Polished paragraphs do not impress. +**

To rescue his readers from the shocking condition of purposeless mediocrity into which this nation is so definitely drifting should be the ambition of every editorial writer, regardless of the character or size of his publication. Men who think vigorously And straight are never Com-

munists'

Ralph Bradford, executive vice president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Washington, D. C., returned to his native Texas recently to make a speech. And, boy, what a speech he made. Read the following cut-down of his remarks, and you will find food for thought sufEcient to last you for some time. He said that the greatness of America is found in the fact that the political and social climate in the United States is more favorable to human activities than in any other country in the world, past or present. But, he said, we may lose our heritage by turning to false gods, to the worship of the omnipotent state, by surrendering our freedom for a mess of bureaucratic pottage, by our indifference to waste and extravagance in government, by placing too much dependence, both as individuals and communities, on government.

Mr. Bradford called for a return to individual initiative and a sense of citizenship responsibility; for a belief in the practice of solvency rather than an espousal of bankruptcy through spending and deficit financing as a-deliberate national policy; for a return to the concept of local self-sufficiency; for an international policy that is not based on fear and appeasement, but "upon the strength of a people who are generous but no longer foolish and who are not afraid." He said that this country is traveling along the wrong road, and, while it is too late to retrace our steps, it is not too late to change our course if the creative energies of the American people are to be protected from the blight of statism'

Our expenditures for national defense and for gifts abroad have risen to approximately 25 billions of dollars a year, more than any war in history ever cost. To save England in 1946 and put her solidly on her economic and financial feet, we made her a gift of $3,750,000,000. It disappeared quickly, and now we are handing her about another billion dollars annually out of European recovery funds. The question which naturally arises today when we are told that England-in spite of the almost immeasurable millions we have given her-faces her worst financial crisis, is-how deep is the English rathole, and can we ever fill it without destroying ourselves? For, in spite of all the billions we have given her, England is probably as bad off today as she would be had we not sent her a dime. So, where do we go from n.r*.t * ,k

Saw the statement of a business corporation the other day that explains where we get all this money we waste on England. The total expenses of the company for last year were 19 million dollars, which included $S miUion for taxes. and $2.9 milion were dividends. Thus more than one fourth of the entire expense of the business was taxes, and the tax man got nearly twice as much as the owners of the business. That tells the story.

Mario Berlini, famous L"ir"*rn"" tenor, is something of a wag. He was asked to hear a young singer, and was told that the man had learned his art by singing in the bathtub. Berlini listened to the young man sing, and then remarked: "FIe needs more baths."

An oil man struck it rich, and found himself in the big chips, so he started spending his money freely. He fairly showered his wife with expensive gifts.

One day he phoned her and said: "I just bought you two beautiful presents, and they'll be delivered today."

She asked: "What are theY?"

He said: "A Rollys-Royce and a Rembrandt."

Editor Says We Move DcrngerouslY Close to Socialism Todcry

The July 15th bulletin of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association quotes an editorial dated July 7th from the Jackson Daily News that warns of socialistic perils frorn our present tax trends. The editorial says that private enterprise has failed to survive in any country where taxes consumed 35 per cent of the income of the people, and that since our government is now taking 33 per cent of our national income, we are perilously close to socialism. It believes that if present tax bills before Congress are passed the tax bill in this country will pass 40 per cent of the people's income, and threaten us with disaster.

"Take a look at England and France," says the editorial in closing, "and you will see that socialism'has never yet succeeded in distributing the wealth-only the poverty."

Los Angeles Building Permits for June

Building permits issued by the City of Los Angeles during June totaled 5,196 with an estimated valuation of $29,434,964 compared with 6,252 valued at $33,513,953 issued in the like month a year ago. In the first half of 1949,27,800 permits valued at $146,044,199 have been issued as against 35,M9 at $192,998,831 in the like period of 1948.

Later that day she called up, and asked: "What did you say you were sending me?"

He said: "A Rolls-Royce and a Rembrandt."

She said: "One of them just came."

He said: "'Which one?"

She said: "IIow the hell do I know?"

Importcnt MilI Merger

Tacoma, Wash.: Willapa Harbor Lumber Mills and White River Lumber Company have been merged into the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. Weyerhaeuser has owned about 70 per cent of the Willapa stock since 1931, and about 59 per cent of the White River stock since 1929. An exchange of stock now absorbs the two milling companies completely into Weyerhaeuser. Willapa stockholders received one Weyerhaeuser share for five Willapa shares, and White River stockholders exchanged one share of their stock for three Weyerhaeuser shares. Weyerhaeuser shares are worth about $55 each.

Plywood Output Increcrses Slightly

Selling Time /s Here Again

Bv Jack Dionne

Once upon a time (and it was only a year or so ago) we folks in the lumber industry had mighty little to sell to our clamorous and desirous customers. The war had taken over mostly all worthwhile building materials such as lumber, shingles, wallboard, plywood, cement, and doors, windows, mouldings, and almost everything else that the average builder needs when he wants to build or rePair.

So we stocked what we could get. And sorry stufi a lot of it was. We sold our customers boards that we were ashamed to'take the money for; but it was all we could get and we told them so, and we all did the best we could, the lumber folks and the would-be builders both. But we went through a long siege of building material famine that none of us will ever forget; nor will the builders who had to use trash in' stead of lumber.

But one thing was certain; we saw to it that the building trade limew what the trouble was. We told them in no uncertain terms that there was a war on and we couldn't get proper things to build with and we were sorry but good materials in decent volume were not to be had at any orice. We told them that, and let there be no doubt about it.

Now things have changed, and it's the other way round. We can get anything and everything we want in the way of building materials. There is nothing that the prospective builder could ask for that we can't get for him in volume, and of the finest quality he ever saw. No need to postpone building, or repairing, or remodeling any more. We've got everything, and what we haven't got we can get in a hurry.

And prices are much more reasonable than they were during the famine days. A11 the manufacturers are taking particular care with the manufacture and preparation of their materials, to the end that everything the builder buys is at least as good in quality and workmanship as it ever was, and lots of stuff is better because we learned things during the war. And now the question is, are we acquainting the builders and building prospects about the present

situation as thoroughly and surely as we did during the times when materials were scarce? Are we? And if not, why not? Looks like this is a grand time to do some real selling of building materials. Looks like wetve really got something to talk about, to brag about, and that we should leave no ear turned away that might possibly be interested in buying building materials.

This country isn't broke. There is surplus money being thrown around in huge quantities all over the land, and it is the job of we building material folk to get out and get our share of it. And the first thing we must do is make sure that the trade and the public learns for sure that now for the first time in a long series of years they can get anything and everything their hearts desire in the line of quality building materials.

How do we know, it may be that there are still lots of people who don't know the facts, who do not realize that the lousy building materials we used to have to sell them during the famine, no longer exist, and that the days of plenty have come again. With all that we have to offer today, it looks like there is a wonderful chance to do a lot of high class and forceful salesmanship with buildings and building materials. There are thousands of things we can do in the highv,'ays and byways of this land to interest people in building materials. Maybe if they all knew that bright, well manufactured, quality lumber is in full supply, and that they can get all the shingles, doors, windows, mouldings, wall boards, roofings, plywood, and other items-all quality-they might come a-running to buy.

Sure, folks, the selling days are here again, and we should rejoice, rather than repine. Those weren't healthy or good times when every buyer was a beggar and we had to offer so little. If you told them the truth then, be sure and tell them the truth now, and who knows, perhaps the truth may set us free?

Salesmanship was gone for a long time on an enforced vacation. Lumber folks used to be mighty fine salesmen. Let's all get back in practice.

R. P. Hcuser to Sell For Budiger-Lcrng Co.

R. P. Hauser has been appointed sales representative for Roll-Away and TENSION-tite window screens in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys according to H. J. Rudiger, Rudiger-Lang Co., screen manufacturers in Berkeley, California.

Ifauser will succeed H. W. McGee who has been forced to discontinue work because of illness.

Recently Mr. Hauser has been selling lumber throughout California. He has a background of experience in the building materials field, and formerly was salesman for the trIill and Morton, Inc., wholesale lumber firm, of Oakland.

Sqles Tax Decision

Orrie Hamilton of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association in Los Angeles, was asked what the sales tax would be on materials sold in June but not invoiced or delivered until July. His reply in his bulletin was: "If the sale was made and paid for in June and entered on the books it is to be reported in the June sales although delivered in July, but if the sale was made in June and was not entered on the books until July, when the delivery was made, then you, as the seller, are responsible, and if you only collect the two and one-half per cent sales tax you will be the loser and have to pay the extra one-half of one per cent when you report your sales for July."

Takes Optimistic Look At Housing Situation

The Earl Hoffman Company "News" of July 13th takes an optimistic view of the housing situation, saying: "The government housing bill has been launched. 810,000 public-housing rental units in six years-about 50,000 the first year. That shouldn't hurt too much. We need about one million new low-cost houses a year for the next eight years (according to census figures) and the government is only building ten per cent of them."

Prospect Op"ned bv Housing Law

(From Los Anseles Times, Julv 19,1949)

For better or worse we have a new Federal housing law, and President Truman may celebrate a triumph over what he has called the vicious real estate lobby.

To some of the sincere members of Congress who supported the housing bill its final acceptanee will seem to be a victory for the principle that the government is obligated to do for the people what they are unable to do for themselvesa principle that was first stated in this country by Lincoln. Even Sen. Taft subscribed to the bill on this ground; he stated that there is a submerged element of the population which wiil never rise of its own effort and that the government ought to provide homes for it. In his opinion government housing is a charity in which all the taxpayers participate, contributing to the rent of the inmates of the government's flats.

It's un-Christian to argue against charity, but it's quite proper to wonder whether these sincere gentlemen haven't been taken in. Sen. Taft is a sturdy free enterpriser and he might be indignant if he were accused of hurting the cause he usually champions. Yet there is a pretty good case against him and his like-minded colleagues. By supporting the housing bill they seem to acknowledge that private enterprise has foundered, so far as housing is con'cerner!.

The facts are to the contrary, and here are some of them:

At the beginning of 1949 there were 7,000,000 more homeowners in the Ijnited States than there were in 1940. The number rose from 11,413,000 to 18,275,000. That's an increase of aboft 60/o. In the same time the population increased less than 10/o.

The Bureau of Census reported in 1948 that in the seven years through 1947 we made unparalleled progress in improving our housing situation. The 1948 survey showed 93.2% of all urban homes to be in satisfactory repair, as compared to 88.6/o in 1940.

Interpreting the Census Bureau report in the Saturday Evening Post last July, Melchoir Palyi said: "Every year ot prosperity will whittle the sub-standard housing count further. Both quantitatively and qualitatively American housing is at an all-time high and getting better every year, although this fact is somewhat obscured by population growth and migrations, as well as by artificial forces, such as income inflation and rent control."

There's still a lot to be done, of course; but the record of progress doesn't support the argument that the government must step in to do what the people cannot do for themselves. Sen. Taft is probably correct in saying that there is a dreg ot the population which will never have depent housing unless charity provides it. This element, however, does not seem to justify a law which contemplates the building of 810,000 government-owned housing units in six years and the spending of additional millions for slum clearance.

When the new law is studied in the light of the building

record of the last several years, it seems to say, between the lines, that while private enterprise may have done pretty well with housing, government can do better. And a more fantastic claim than that couldn't be made' It revives an old suspicion: even though Sen. Taft was one of the sponsors, the law seems less the reflection of his charity than the itch of the big-government faction to take over something else.

The government expansionists are always ready to accusc the failureS of private industry as the pretext for government intervention. Outrageous charges were brought against the American steel industry in preparation for the proposal that the government build steel mills. The British Socialists, incidentally, made the same unfounded charges against the most efificient and productive industry in their country before they rammed through their steel nationalization law.

The Federal government already has a $20,000,000,000 stake in housing through ownership and mortgage guarantees, and the new law will increase that stake by several billions in the next six years. If that stake should increase to the point where the government held a controlling share of housing (it wouldn't have to be a majority share), then the government would control the national economy more easily than if it held the steel industry.

Such control is an admissible prospect. As government building increases, private building is likely to fall off. When government builcls, material prices go up and private builders are forced out of the market. One expert expects a l5/o rise in prices as soon as the government starts to build under the new law. And as private building decreases the fact is presented as an even more cogent reason for further government building.

So this new housing law, strangely compounded of charity and statism, may not be the last. Government rent bargains will be a powerful inducement in the hands of the bureaucrats -a standing temptation to the considerable number of voters who believe that desirable things can be had at cut rates from the government.

H. H. Hobcrt Retires

On July 1, H. H. Hobart, vice president and general sales manager of Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, retired after almost 40 years of outstanding service.

I\{r. Hobart joined the Curtis organization as a territory salesman in 1910. His rise in the company was rapid and in 1927 he was made vice president and general sales manager. He plans to take life easy for some time and to take a long trip to the West Coast. He is succeeded as general sales manager by I. H. Ramsey, a Curtis employee for 2I years, and for the past several years a sales supervisor at the Clintort office of the company.

Weyerhaeuser Develops Parks

O'ccasional logging road crossings or log landings near the highway will be screened by tree plantings made last winter' 15,000 quick-growing alder and cedar and 35,000 lusty Douglas fir seedlings were set out by Cowlitz County members of the De Molay organization, under direction of company stafi forester Jake Hisey. Trees, tools, and transportation were furnished by Weyerhaeuser for the project, carried on over five weekends.

Park areas being improved are Coal Banks, Kid Valley, Al Raught, Hoffstadt Creek, and Marratta Creek, in the order of their location from the Pacific highway near Castle Rock. Coal Banks, a beautiful tree grove on the Cowlitz River, is just beyond the signboarded entrance to the St. Helens Tree Farm. Marratta Creek park is in a stand of virgin Douglas fir timber near Spirit Lake. Al Raught park commemorates the now retired former manager of Weyerhaeuser's Longview branch operation.

In these park areas the ground has been cleared and smoothed up, access roads built from the highway, identifying signs placed for public guidance, and a supply of wood logs left for camp fire fuel. Ready for use this summer, each park will be maintained by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in cooperation with the Washington State Highway Department.

Longview, Wash., May 28-Scenic Spirit Lake in eastern Cowlitz County, Washington, will hold a special attraction this summer for vacationists. Five park areas adjacent to sections of the Spirit I-ake highway which pass through Weyerhaeuser's St. Helens Tree Farm area are being developed for public use, according to an announcement made today by Harry E. Morgan, manager of the company's Longview branch operation.

Long range plans for this recreational development recognize the multiple use possibilities of tree farm land. The designated parks are in naturally wooded areas, ranging from mixtures of hardwoods and evergreens to stately old growth Douglas fir. Accessible by automobile, each park is next, to a stream or creek and will be cleared of brush and debris and equipped with tables and outdoor fireplaces.

A thirty-mile stretch of the scenic Spirit Lake drive will receive special treatment by Weyerhaeuser logging crews. The natural beauty of the tree-framed highway, with its vistas of snow-topped Mount St.. Helens, will be preserved for public enjoyment. Dangerous or esthetically undesirable dead snags are being felled along most of this timbered corridor.

Good Demand lor \(/estern Pine Lumbet Expected in Third Quarter o( 1949

Portland, Ore., July 1-A second quarter report of production and shipments of Western Pine Region lumber and lumber products and an estimate of probable third quarter shipn,ents were released today by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager of the Western Pine association.

The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated species. The statement in full:

"The second quarter 1949 forecast anticipated shipments ten per cent below those for the same 1948 period. Actual performance now indicates that the first quarter trend (29 per cent below 1948) has been reversed and that second quarter regional shipments will total 1,768 million feet or three per cent above a year ago.

"This reversal in trend is, however, more comparative than leal, the extreme variation of the weather factor in the two years being responsible. During the first quarter of 1948, weather conditions were unusually favorable and shipments broke all previous industry records. But, excessive rainfall and floods greatly hampered second quarter operations with the result that shipments were much below normal for that season. Exactly opposite conditions were encountered this year. The first quarter witnessed one of the worst winters ever experienced in the West while for the past three months operating conditions have been almost ideal. Actually, the region for the first half of 1949 shipped 11.2 per cent, or 348 million feet, less than in the sarne 1948 period.

"Production in the second quarter, likewise, exceeded that in the same 1948 period by 6% per cent but for the entire first half was down more than nine per cent. Lumber stocks at the mills, following the seasonal trend, increased about eleveu per cent during the quarter. As- of -Tune 30, regionai stocks are estimated at about 1,700 million, up only 25 million since December 31, 1948. This voiume of inventory is definitely larger than that of the past few years but substantially under the usual prewar level.

"Unfilled orders as of June 30th stood at about 500 million, considerably below those of a year ago, lvhen floods and excessive rainfall retarded shipments, but substantially above the order file on June 30, 1947. The volume of new business accepted during the second quarter exceed that of the same 1948 period by about three per cent.

"Although the volume of home construction is below that of a year ago, it is continuing at a high level and overall construction volume is somewhat ahead of 1948. Therefore, despite uncertainty as to the ultimate outcome of the present economic readjustment, a good lumber demand, gauged by prewar standards, should be expected in the third quarter. Based upon all available information, it now seems probable that during the third quarter of 1949 shipments (consumption) of lumber by the Western Pine industry will approximate 1,900 million feet or about ten per cent under those for the same 1948 period."

New Timbers Ior "Old lronsides"

Astoria (Ore.), June 3O.-Four timbers for the U. S. S. Constitution-so huge each had to come from a tree six feet in diameter-are en route to Boston, Mass.

Officials at Shepherd Morse Lumber Company of nearby Westport said they understood the Douglas fir timbers would replace the ancient vessel's keel. They were cut to fit between the ribs of the War of 1812 ship moored at the Charleston Navy Yard.

Each is 7O feet long, 28 inches wide and 20 inches thick. Towed up the Columbia River to Longview, \Mash., they will be taken aboard the freighter Kenyon Victory which is scheduled to sail for Boston July 5.

The Constitution, famed as "Old lronsides" from an 1830 poem of that name by Oliver Wendell Holmes, was restored by school children's contributions in 1927-31 and visited west coast ports in 1933 with masts and spars cut by the same Westport mill.

New Construction Peak Hit During First HclI oI 1949

Washington, July 6.-.4. record total of $8,453,000,000 was spent for construction in the first half of 1949, the Department of Commerce reported.

This is $294,000,000, or about 4 per cent, above the previous record of $8,159,000,000 set for new construction during the first six months of 1948.

The department noted, however, that private spending in the last half year amounted to $6,213,000,000, a 5 per cent drop from the $6,519,000,000 of the like period of 1948.

The slack rvas taken up by public construction which rose 22 per cent from last year's $1,640,000,000 level in JanuaryJune to $2,240,000,000 for January-June, 1949.

New Film lllustrates On-the-Job Fabticating

Washington . Builders of multi-unit dwelling projects now have an opportunity to follow, through motion pictures, actual on-the-job truss fabricating techniques which are permitting builders to reduce roof framing material and labor as much as 25 percent.

The Timber Engineering Ccmpany, Washington, D. C., has just announced the availability, for free use by architectural and building groups, of a 16 mm motion picture covering the mass manufacture and assembly of 3,500 timber connector equipped trussed raTters used in the Bonhaven Apartments, Richmond, Va. The picture is a single reel, black and white silent film which requires 18 minutes for projection.

The new film depicts in detail the quantity production methcds used to fabricate, assemble and erect the ner,v lorv-cost trussed rafter which has been used in over 17,@0 housing units in the last three years. The rafter itself is a simple, four-member assembly composed of standarcl 2x4 and 2x6 lumber. It is designed to cover spans up to 32 feet.

The member sizes in the trussed rafter are small because the Teco Timber Connectors in the joints permit use of the full allowable working stress for the members.

Because of their extreme simplicity and economy of material, the trusses have been fabricated and erected in quantity at costs as low as $9.89 each in place. The basic design, which is available in four pitches, requires no left or right hand members and makes turning of the truss during assembly unnecessary.

Distribution of the film is being handled directly by the Timber Engineering Company. Copies may be secured by interested groups by writing the company at 1319-18t1". Street, N.W., Washington, D. C.

I have been reading Jack Dionne's Vagabond Editorials for many years with a great deal of admiration of his ability to so interestingly put into print down to earth truths so vital to all of us.

I have often retained some issues of The California Lumber Merchant so I might read and reread time and again a Dionne editorial. I am wondering whether you have compiled these editorials into book form and I would like to suggest, if you have not already done so, that you give consideration to this plan as I feel yott will find a great many of your readers who would like to have such a volume.

Many thanks to Mr. Dionne for his fine writings.

The San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club sponsored an enjoyable beach party at Solana Beach on Sunday, July 17. Over 150 attended. Swimming was enjoyed by the crowd, and there rl'ere games for both the grown-ups and kiddies with appropriate prizes going to the winners of the various event.

Herschell Larrick Sr., and hi sson Herschell Jr., prepared the barbecued fish dinner which was delicious.

President Carl Gavotto and his committee did such a fine job in making the arrangements for the party that the Clulr plans to make the beach party an annual affair.

Correction

Dave Davis, Deputy Hoo-Hoo Snark for Northern Cali fornia, advises that B. F. Springer, Milwaukee, Secretary of the Order, through an oversight had assigned the recently formed Coast Counties Hoo-Hoo Club the Number 111. This was in error and should have been Number 114. Coast Counties Hoo-Hoo Club No. 114 is the official name of the trew club.

Our forest lands today often seem more productive than in the past because of the closer logging utilization made possible by re-logging, yields from thinning, salvage of fire-killed trees, and pre-logging.

Cushiontone Available to Lumber Dealers

On July 1, Armstrong's Cushiontone, a perforated, fibrous acoustical tile, was made available to retail lumber dealers through Armstrong wholesalers.

The need for sound conditioning is recognized today by thousands of stores, restaurants, offrces, and other places where noise causes inefficiency and discomfort. Cushiontone is economical and easy to install. No special tools or skill are-needed on most jobs. Tiles are nailed to wood furring or cemented to any sound, level surface.

New Merchandising Program

Johns-lVlanville has prepared a new merchandising and promotional program to assist J-M building material dealers and their builders and contractors in developing increase business from the farm market.

This program is based on the conviction that the greatest service Johns-Manville can render its dealers and their builder customers, is to help J-M dealers establish themselves as authoritative sources of information about farm building problems.

To accomplish this, Johns-Manville is providing dealers with a three-part program. It consists of :

1. A 140-page "Farm Handbook and Building Reference Guide". This contains basic information about farm building problems and provides the dealer with a convenient reference source.

2. A book of efficient farm building plans. This enables the dealer to discuss specific buildings with any farmer.

3. A bi-monthly magazine about farm buildings. This makes it possible for the dealer to maintain regular contact with the farmers in his area and helps establish him as an authority on the subject of buildings.

Greatest Reforesting Proiect

Portland, Oregon-More than 12,000 acres of nonstocked private forest lands of western Washington and Oregon were planted with nursery-grown seedlings from November through mid-May in the largest reforestation project in the region's history, according to N. E. Bjorklund, forester in charge of the Forest Industries Tree Nursery at Nisqually.

The unique tree nursery shipped 6,735,0W year-old baby trees, Bjorklund said, largest in its seven years of operation. In addition to those shipped' 250,000 Douglas fir trees, 700,000 Noble fir seedlings and 100,000 white and Norrvay spruce vi'ill be carried over to make two-year-old stock.

Bjorklund said the severe winter weather had handicapped the industry's planting program this year. Planting got under way November 16 and lasted until Decembe: 23 rvhen intense cold and heavy snow forestalled lifting operations at the nursery and stopped planting in thc mountainous areas. Planting was resumed March lst and continued through mid-May.

'Iwenty certified West Coast tree farms in the region received 5,775,000 trees which rvere planted on approximately 10,500 acres, figuring 550 trees to an acre' Bjorklund stated. Other timber operators received 194,000 trees which planted 350 acres. The state of Oregon planted 680 acres of private forest land with 375,000 seedlings and farmers and small land owners planted 130 acres with 70,000 trees. In addition more than 325,000 trees were given to small owners by the Crown-Zellerbach Corporation, We1'erhaeuser Timber Company and West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Douglas fir seedling trees accounted for 93.5% of the total production, or 6,D7,7A0 trees, Bjorklund said. Port Orford cedar made up 411,600 trees and 25,70O Monterev pine and miscellaneous trees were shipped.

Forest Industries Tree Nursery is owned by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and operated as a cooperative venture by sponsoring companies which on'n forestlands in the two states. Last year the nursery raised 8,000,000 seedling trees and over a million of these will be

helcl over because of the inter'ruption in planting during the winter.

Since the establishment of the nursery in 1941, Bjorklund pointed out, more than 23,170,000 trees have beerr grown to plant on areas where fire and other causes have left lands so they did not restock naturally. He said more than 95/o of all lands harvested in the Douglas fir region is reseeded by nature when fires are kept out and seed sources left.

Baby trees grown at the industry nursery have beerr planted on over 40,000 acres of non-stocked forestlands during the last seven years in one of a series of coordinated programs by industry to bring private forests into full production, the forester pointed out. Improved forest management practices of the last decade, increased fire protection and public support of fire prevention programs have strengthened and brightened the forestry prospects here in the Douglas fir region.

Califiornia Housing Crisis Declared Ended

The end of California's acute housing shortage was officially nailed down by facts cited by J. Howard Edgerton of Los Angeles, president of the California Savings and Loan League, at the opening of that organization's 59th annual convention at San Francisco.

Over 434,000 dwelting units with a value of $3,000,000,000 have been built in California since the war, he reported' This includes 102,000 in 1946, 116,000 in 1947 and' 214,000 in 1948.

All of this construction provided nerv housing for 1,519,175 persons, more than the increase in population during the periocl, he reported. He described it as the most monumental housing project ever undertaken.

While every person in the state does not have the type of housing he desires, there is housing available for every man, woman and child here, and the shortage is over, for all practical purposes, he declared.

Bulletin On Bureaucracy

A recent bulletin issued by Jack F. Pomeroy, executive vice-president of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, includes the following very pertinenr paragraph concerning the size and character of our Washington bureaucracy that makes interesting reading:

"The Hoover Commission report clearly shows how tax dollars have endless avenues of escape. For instan'ce, the paper work involved in processing a Government purchase order costs more than $10 per order yet half of the government's 3,000,000 purchase orders which the civilian branches execute are for items costing less than $10. The government owns 850,000 typewriters, or 3.6 typewriters for every employee who uses one full time or part time and sorne Federal agencies were estimated to have sufficient office supplies to last 50 years. We have 38 different Government agencies lending money; 16 different agencies are engaged in wildlife preservation, 34 agencies are engaged in obtaining land, 10 in Government construction, 9 in credit and finance, 4 in bank examinations, 65 in gathering statistics, 14 in forestry matters, 28 in welfare, 12 in home and community planning, 25 agencies deal with our nation's mineral resources and for every 32 Indians under the jurisdiction and care of the Bureau of Indian Affairs there is one Federal employee, making a total of over 12,000 persons administering that program. It has been disclosed that it takes the Veterans' Administration, with its huge personnel, an average of 73 days to pay death claims on Government life insurance whereas private life insurance companies pay 80 per cent of their death claims within 15 days. This is our government in just a few of the fourteen hundred agencies and bureaus. Many were created as "emergen,cies," but they are now entrenched in the biggest business on earth to the tune of over 41 billion dollars per year. Whenever suggestions are made for increasing the size of this jungle of bureaucracy, their effect on the creaking machinery of government must be considered."

A Little Boosting

A little boosting now and then Is relished by the most of men. No matter what your job may be, If cutting hay or serving tea, Or drafting laws or making shotA little boost may mean a lot. A cheery word, a kindly smile, A friendly nod once in a while May be the sanding of the track For some poor guy who's slipping back. It isn't blarney, bunk, nor show To give a guy a glad hello, And let him know you mean it, too, For somehow it comes back to you, And makes for you a brighter day. The moral is-again I sayIt's relished by the most of menA little boosting now and then.

Ecsing the Blow

The hardened and oft-convicted prisoner was before the bar for sentencing. Said the judge: "I find you guilty on 26 counts and I sentence you to 6ve years on each count, making a total of 130 years."

The prisoner, already well along in years, burst into tears. The judge, taking this as a sign of remorse, said in a kindly voice: "Don't take it too hard. I didn't mean to be too harsh with you. I know you can't possibly serve out the whole 130 years, but I'll tell you what. JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN."

Amended the Sign

There was a big sign in front of a modern shoe repair shop showing several styles of rubber heels, arid a picture of a beautiful girl who was saying:

"I'm in love with America's Number One heel."

Underneath, in a small feminine hand, someone had written:

"Sorry, Sister ! I'm already married to him."

Psychicrtry

A prominent man called on a psychiatrist for treatment. The mental physician gave him the usual examination, and finally said:

"You are worrying about your future. I'11 take your case. I'll undertake to cure you in a year' and the charge will be one hundred dollars a week."

The patient said: "That takes care of YOUR future, all right, Doctor-but how about mine?"

Didn't Heed Fqther

Will Rogers used to say:

"Don't speed ! Get up fifteen minutes earlier !"

Not long since his son was arrested for driving 55 miles an hour through a 25 mile zone, and, the judge fined him heavily, and then handed him a card to read. It bore the above words of his father.

Young Lady: "You're not kidding ! It's her's."

Flying Ice

In Montana last February the temperature was fifty below zero, when the foreman of a rescue gang phoned in to headquarters to say that one of his men had been knocked unconscious by flying ice.

"What do you mean, flying ice?" asked the boss.

"He was chewing tobacco, and tried to spit against the wind."

The Golden Bell

There is a legend about an oriental king whose servant was also his personal friend and favorite. The king, one day, impatiently presented him with a golden bell, saying:

"I.f you ever find a greater fool than you are, give him this."

Years passed, and the king lay on his death bed. To his servant the king said:

':I am going on a long journey, and alas, I am ill prepared."

"Is it an unexpected journeY?"

"No," said the king, "on the contrary I have been forewarned these many years; but so engrossing have been the cares of government and the pleasures of the court .that I have given the matter little attention."

Whereupon the servant silently handed him the golden b,ell. For he had found a greater fool than himself, at last.

\(/estern Red Cedar

By Robert E. Mahaffay, Trade Extension Director \West Coast Lumbermen's Association

The Western red cedar is among the largest and finest of the cedars produced anywhere in the world, its heartwood being famed for extraordinary resistance to decay. This tree is one of the foremost species of the Pacific Northwest forests, and reaches its peak development in the moister regions of Oregon and Washington.

' Western red cedar is a distinct species, possessing virtually all the desirable qualities of the other cedars, and additional advantages besides. Its wood is of exceptionally light weight --one of ,the lightest of all commercial species----of soft texture and closC, even, straight grain. It is very easily worked, can be finished to a smooth, silky surface with little effort; is free from pitch, takes and holds stains, paints and enamels excellently, and has superior gluing qualities. Its coloring is particularly attractive, varying from the almost pure white of the narrow sapwood to the light straw shade or dark reddishbrown of the heartwood.

The wood contains a natural preservative oil which renders its heartwood virtually immune to decay and gives it extreme durability without artificial preservative treatment. Painting cedar to preserve it is unnecessary since it does not deteriorate appreciably even under severe climatic changes. When left in its natural state, it weathers to a beautiful soft driftwood gray-

Western red cedar is a wood particularly adapted for home building. It is highly regarded for all exterior uses. For interior purposes its beautiful grain, varied color, smooth surface, freedom from pitch and the attractive figures of its flat grain finish, will add charm to any room. This lumber may be left in its natural finish or stained, bleached or painted in any shade, tone or color desired.

Bungalow and bevel siding of this wood is very extensively used. It is sold in every state in the lJnion, its desirability being traced to such characteristics as freedom from pitch, unusual insutrating properties, extreme durability and paintability. It is justly celebrated among owners of both large and small homes and among architects, dealers, contractors and carpenters, and is regarded as the Nation's No. 1 siding material.

Western red cedar also has a similar appeal to the informed user of moldings, lattice, pickets, frames, and screen, storm door and window stock. Another item which is becoming increasingly popular is knotty cedar worked to panel stockusually run with tongue and groove. This may be applietl either horizontally or vertically, and is used both outside and in.

Where a combination of greater durability and ample strength are requisites the construction grades of Western red cedar are superior to most other species of framing lumber. Most of the "clear type" characteristics-its freedom from splitting and warping, its ease of working and nailing, its insulating properties and light weight-are equally effec-

tive in the construction grades. The combination of these characteristics, plus its ample strength for general construction purposes, recommend it for use as boards, dimension, plank and posts. Of particular value for economical construction are No. 2 and No. 3 Western red cedar boards.

Service records for this species, where used in damp places as is often the case with mud sills, barn boards, tanks, feed platforms and troughs constantly exposed to changing wet and dry conditions supply abundant proof of its extreme serviceability in general construction work.

The splendid insulating qualities of this lumber when used for sheathing, siding, sub-flooring, roof boards or shingled roof, help to keep the home cool in summer and warm in winter. The wood's soft texture and light weight make it easy to work, handle and install, insuring rninimum labor costs. ft can be easily nailed and has good nail-holding power. It fits smoothly and because of its very low shrinkage ratio the joints stay tight.

Western red cedar also meets the stringent requirements of lawn or garden furniture and equipment, as well as of pergolas, lattice enclosures, fences, gates and similar structures. It is a preferred wood for greenhouses, hot-beds and all kinds of nursery equipment because of its demonstrated ability to resist the most punishing decay-producing conditions

The list of uses to which this species is eminently suited is very nearly endless. On farms it is sought after, in addition to the home building purposes already mentioned, for barn construction, sills, battens, feed and water troughs, and like uses in which its durability particularly adapts it to the farmer's needs.

It is valuable for silo doors, gutter, irrigation flumes, stop gates, boxes, and light portable sluices, as well as for fence posts, well-curbing and beehives. It is excellent as insulating roof planking and as plank flooring.

This lumber is recognized as the world's premier wood for boat building, and large quantities are used annually for this purpose as well as for floats and other marine structures. It has gained national recognition as the material selected and continuously used for several generations of college and professional rowing men the country over. It is extensively used in all types of pleasure craft from the skiff to the large cruiser.

It is a first rate industrial wood, and because of its light weight and workability is distinctly desirable for luggage stock, toy manufacture, and core stock, as well as for boxes and crates.

Western red cedar mills carry in stock many standard sizes and items of lumber for prompt shipment to the yard and factory trade. However, the cedar manufacturers are glad to confer with wood-using plants regarding their specific needs.in order to produce the exact sizes, dimensions and grades of lumber or cuttings the buyers require.

Colgan Attacks

Ne* Forestry Bills

Congressional measures such as the Granger Bill and the Anderson 8i11, if enacted, will "take the United States another long and dangerous step down the road toward statism," was charged by R. A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in a recent public address.

Speaking in Memphis, Tennessee, before a joint meeting of lumbermen and foresters, Colgan said he opposes thesr': two bills (still awaiting enactment) because they are "unwise and unnecessary."

"fn view of the great progress now being made by individuals, industries and local governments working together voluntarily, America appears to have already rounded the corner in forestry production and protection," Colgan declared.

The lumber association executive declared that Southern forests in eleven states are supplying more lumber of greater value than in tl-re hey-day of logging of virgin timber twenty-five years ago.

Colgan emphasized that since 1918 the total growth of all timber in the U. S. is estimated to have tripled, rvhile sawtimber growth has multiplied nearly four times. Colgan spoke before a meeting of the Memphis Lumbermen's Club and the Kentucky-Tennessee section of the Society of American Foresters.

Colgan .contrasted r'vhat he said were trvo "fundamentally different approaches as to horv to teach basic fact; about forestry and about potential values of small rvoodlots to owners of private woodlands in the'U. S.

"One is the Federal approach," Colgan said "$'hel e woodlot o\vners (along rvith industry) are to be offerecl subsidies and various aids in one hand, while threats of big government control backed by regulations written in Washington are held over their heads in the other."

"This Federal approach, I believe, lreans more ancr, more taxes, along r.vith more and more government r'vorkers. It means a natural slackening of independent efforr on the part of o\vners of private forest land."

"Thc other approach," Colgan said, "is typified by the program adopted by the American Forest Products In-

ONIY A HOME

Only a little home mid spreading shade trees, But love, the cunning elf found it one day, Climbed through a rose embowered window, Dusted his wings and settled down to stay.

There was a garden filled with spicy fragrance, Where health walked often in the early morn, Lifted the trailing vines, pruned the young fruit trees And lingered in the rows of whispering corn'

Beauty adorned the humble dwelling, And Joy and Peace were present there; Flappiness came bringing mirth and laughter While Music's voice was vocal everywhere.

And they who lived within the wee brown cottage With all the happy spirits to them lent, Welcomed another to the magic circle, A calm and gentle presence-sweet Content.

Then Pride passed by in sullen silence, With false Ambition in his train; Envy and Malice passed with heads averted, And Jealousy sought entrance but in vain.

When Sorrow came, there followed Consolation, Faith whispered and Hope smiled again; Fair flowers bloomed about the little cottage And Love ruled all, through days of sun or rain.

Colgan said, commenting on the three major phases of the AFPI program in which industry is cooperating with State and Federal agencies:

"N{ost significant to me is that this effort is voluntary-:rr-rd that's the American way to do it."

Lumber Book Shelf Presented to Coast Colleges and High Schools

Lumbermen throughout the country are watching with interest a program developed by members of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association for placing accurate and factual information on the forest products industry in the hands of high school and college students in Oregon, Washington and California.

'Iiducators, publishers and rvriters are acclaiming this completely new technique which is making educational history.

A 12-volume Lumber Book Shelf, containing some of the finest available books on lumber, logging, forestry 'rnd natural history, has already been presented to more than 130 high schools and colleges in the three states by members of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association'

The Book Shelf is purchased by the individual mill, or a group of mills in a single community, and presented by mill officials to each school at a regular assembly' An arrangement has been worked out by the Association rvith 1. f. Ciff Company of Portland, one of the northwest's ieading book stores, for a bulk rate and the company ships the entire shelf direct to the company offices'

An attractive bookplate is attached to the flyleaf of each book in the Shelf and contains the name or names of donor mills. It is expected that more than 200 schools will receive the Book Shelf during the year from West Coast member mills. The books become a part of the school's reference library and are available for essays, orations and classroom work on the region's basic industry.

A study by Association executives disclosed a woeful 'lack of good material in school libraries which covered industry developments in better utilization, better forestry and improvements made during the past decade or more in lumber processing. Too much of the material in school libraries, lumbermen found, was anti-business and biased information.

Authors of the 12-volume Book Shelf include some of the best known writers in the nation. Two of Stervart Holbrook's books are included: "Burning an Empire" and "Tall Timber." James Stevens' "Paul Bunyan" and "Timber" add a distinctive flavor. Two volumes published by the American Forestry Assoiiation, "American Conservation" and "Knowing Your Trees," have been included' "This Fascinating Lumber Business" by Stanley Horn,

editor of the Southern Lumberman, provides a compact refercnce book. Other books are "Forest Trees of the Pacific Coast," by W. A' Eliot; "The Lost Woods," bY E,dwin Way 'Ieale; "Douglas of the Fir," by George Athelstan Harvey; "Skyo," by Martha Hardy and "Now We're Loggin'," by Paul llosmer, famous Oregon Short-log humorist.

Included in each book shelf is a kit of booklets published by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and American Forest Products Industries, fnc.

West Coast mills work closely with high school students because they will soon be lumber customers' Included in the Association's educational material is a 65-frame film strip "The Story of West Coast Lumber" now used in 5,000 schools in America. Colored slide sets on forestry, logging, fire fighting and tree farms are supplied to schools as part of the industry's visual education program' A fine election of pamphlets on lumber manufacturing and logging rourrd out a full educational program.

Commercc Department Predicts

Huge 1949 Construction Total

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Commerce Department estimates that a record of $19,000,000'000 r'vorth of construction work will be done in 1949.

This is I per cent more than the department figured last November at the peak of the business boom.

Its upward revision reflected an expectation that utilities, chiefly gas and electric concerns, will boost their work a whopping $775,000,000 above the previous estimate to a total of $3,525,000,000.

This would be B per cent over their actual outlays la:;t yeat.

Secretary of the Treasury Snyder took a rap at makets of gloomy business forecasts.

He told the Colorado Bankers Association, in Glenwoocl Springs, Colo.:

"WE HAVE BECOME so accustomed to making new business records, month after month following the war, that our ,ceasing to establish further new highs in l94l) caused long faces among harbingers of woe.

"The fact that business is continuing to operate at nearrecord levels, after more than three years of unprecedented output, has not been sufficiently emphasized."

New Color Guide for Olympic Products

An entirely new idea in color selectors has been created by the West Coast Stained Shingle Co., Seattle, for consumer use in selecting the color combination for roofs and sidewalls fronr the 12 colors available in the Olympic Stains and Olympic prestained sidewall materials.

This Olympic Color Guide works on the principle of the slide rule, with openings in the outer jacket for the color tabs to show through. The upper opening is for the roof colors and the lower for the sidewalls. Each color rule is in a separate tray and can be manipulated to the left or right to give thc color effect desired.

To Promote Modular-Si.e Woodwork

A nationwide advertising campaign to promote the advantages of modular-size woodwork to dealers and builders has just been announced by National Woodwork Manufacturers Association, Chicago, Illinois. The campaign will run in the strongest and best entrenched publications appealing to the building industry.

Primarily educational in character, the series of advertisements will run over a year's period and will be aimed at the large organization of operative builders and the army of small individual carpenter-builders who control a vast amount of construction.

This advertising campaign will explain modular construction and point out how this scientific, advanced building method means increased profits for builders while at the same time assnring greater value for the home buyer. It will show how modular sizes lower the cost of building by reducing cutting and trimming on the job.

The campaign will further point out the importance of wood as the ideal material for u'indows, sash, window frames, screens, storm sash and other lvoodwork products' Substantial portions of each advertisement will give interesting facts on the virtues of wood: the natural insulating qualities of wood, its ability to take paint or other finishes easily and its discouragement of condensation. The copy will also stress the value of toxic preservation. It will show how it enhances the long life of wood, thereby helping to make it a better building material than ever.

In 1905 he returned to Texas and organized the Ogletree Lumber Company at Shepherd' moving later to Livingston, where he operated a sawmill, planing mill and also did considerable building of homes in that area.

In 1944 he moved to California where he built a sawmill at Eureka to cut Redwood and Fir timber. He returned to Texas later, still retaining considerable holdings near Arcata, California. The past few years he has made his home in Austin, Texas.

Survivors include his wife; three daughters, Mrs' Kelly I\{cAdams, Mrs. Billy McElroy and Mrs' Fred Ribar, all of Austin; a son, Ben Ogletree of Livingston; two brothers, W. D. Ogletree of Wetumka, Okla., and Seab of Columbus, Ga. : and four sisters.

Opposes Creation o[ Another Federal Valley "Authority"

Unqualified opposition of the lumber industry to legislation designed to create a Columbia Valley Authority (S lt15) was expressed by Richard A. Colgan, Jr., before the'Senate Committee on Public Works.

"We regard these valley authorities," he declared, "as but another example cf Federal government competition with private industry.'

Mr.'CoJgan is Executive Vice President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. The lumber industry has more than a "passing interest" in the bill, he said' "since the area here under consideration-the Pacific North'ivest--contains more than 40 per cent of the sawtimber in the United States, and since the proposed legislation would authorize and direct the new agency which rvould be created to carry out forestry programs which rvould vitally effect our industry "

Senator Dennis Chavez (D., N. Mex.), is Chairman of thc Senate Committee on Public Works. In order to give the lumber industry time and cpportunity to make full presentation of facts and informaticn, Colgan requested the Committee an opportunity, before concluding hearings on S. 1645 and related bil1s, to have several witnesses from the area involvecl "girre you the benefit of their knorvledge of the area, its fine progress in forestry and to demonstrate to you the ability of private enterprise in that area to carrY forrvard that program."

Senator Harry Cain, a member of the Committee, who has taken an active part in bringing out faults of the C. V. A. bill, asked Mr. Colgan several questions which brought out that the lumber industry comprises a major part of Pacific Northwest industry as a whole.

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association is a federation of sixteen regional, species and products groups, "representative of the lumber industry in all parts of the U. S.," Colgan told the committee.

The fastener is made from a strip of sheet metal, channeled at both ends and bent around a triangular arbor to form the head. The outer leg is longer, Locking qclion ol the ES-ncil and has a sharp point at its end, and serves as the driving leg. 'This leg sheaths and protects the slightly shorter inner leg, which operates the locking mechanism. During manufacture, a small v-shaped tab on the inner leg is forced into a slot in the driving leg, thus providinq the necessary hinge for the clinching, or locking, foot.

The ES-nail is manufactured in two general types: the concealed nail, of zinc-coated carbon steel for use at nailing points covered by a succeeding shingle course; and the exPosed type, or face nail, of non-rusting, stainless steel, for use at visible nailing points.

ES-nails have received approval from both the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, and the Stained Shingle and Shake Association, for cedar-shingle sidewall application.

Announcement of a new batt type rock wool blanket to its line of insulation materials is announced by The Celotex Corporation. This improved paper-encased product will largely replace open faced batts, although the latter will continue to be available. Blankets arc 15"x24' and 15"x48" anC may be had in either full-thick or semi-thick types. The tough Kraft encasing paper is creped in both directions, giving it a two-way stretch of l5-20/o. An eye-appealing and practical tube-type package has been designed for the new product.

Also announced is the introduction of new Interior Finisir products knou,n as Celotex Ripple Blend Tile and Plank, and Textured White Tile. The Tile Board and Finish Plank comes in three soft, neutral, pastel tints, each having a woven tapestry effect. The White Tile Board is softly embossed in an irregular ripple pattern with an overall fabric-like texture, and a pure white finish which provides unusually high light reflection. Glare is prevented by subtle variations in surface'
