President TrumanPuts Credit Curbs on Building

Washington, July 19-The administration put into effect today its new restrictions on housing loans-the government's first brake on the economy since the.outbreak of the Korean war.

President Truman said the new rules are designed to reduce inflationary pressures and to curb the unprecedented home construction boom. He said some of the materials now going into houses may be needed in the battle for Korea.

. The immediate efiect of his order will be to require those who intend to build a home with government aid to make a larger down payment. It u'as estimated about half of all would-be home builders would fall.into this category.

Government officials said the new rules would not apply to anyone who already has signed a contract for a government mortgage.

Mr. Truman announced his order yesterday in letters to Raymond R. Foley, administrator of the housing and home finance agency; Veterans Administrator Carl R. Gray Jr.; Harley Hise, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corp., and other government officials.

Mr. Foley ordered most of the new rules into effect immediately. They would:

l-Reduce all future FHA-insured mortgages from ,80 to 75 per cent of the house's appraised value. This would increase a buyer's down payment from 20 to 25 per cent.

2-Lower the ceiling on FHA mortgages from $16,000 to $14,000.

3-Limit the start of public housing construction in the next six months to 30,000 units. It was estimated that this would require the Public Housing administration to cut back its operations by from 20 to 25 per cent.

4-Ignore any increase in building costs since July in .appraising the value of a house.

S-Require a 1O per cent down payment on modernization loans. This regulation is effective Aug. i. PreViously, no down payment was required.

Mr. Truman ordered Mr. Gray to require a 5 per cent down payment on mortgages insured by the Veterans administration "wherever permissible under existing law."

In his letter to Mr. Foley, the president made it clear

Fee Charged at Six Forest Campgroundg

A small fee will be charged at six of the most heavily used campgrounds in national forests in California this year, as the U.S. Forest Service continues its fee experi. ment from 1949 in an effort to spread its limited funds for maintenance of 1100 forest campgrounds in this State.

Picnickers will pay 25 cents a day and campers will pay 50 cents a day, for a party of six adults or less, at the following campgrounds:

Eldorado County campground at Lake Tahoe, Eldorado National Forest.

Big Bend campground at Big Bend ranger station, Tahoe National Forest.

Hampshire Rocks campground on U.S. 40 near Big Bend ranger station.

Pinecrest campground at Strawberry Lake, Stanislaus National Forest.

Blue Jay campground near Lake Arrowhead, San Ber, nardino National Forest.

Crest Road campground, near Arrowhead ranger station, San Bernardino National Forest.

M. M. Barnum, assistant regional forester in charge of recreation and land matters, said the Forest Service is issuing permits to concessionaires who will collect the fees and in return will operate and maintain five of the campgrounds at no cost to the Forest Service. The Forest Service will operate Big Bend campground on a fee basis, in order to get comparative data.

"These campgrounds re.ceive the heaviest use, and their upkeep is a heavy drain on our limited allotment for campground maintenance," said Mr. Barnum. "They will be posted conspicuously, to distinguish them from free forest campgrounds. This experiment is being continued in all regions of the Forest Service."

that the Korean crisis alone was responsible for his decision. He said that continuing the record-breaking construction rate would be "very desirable were it not for recent international developments."

He told Mr. Foley the government plans for building 810,000 housing units in six years "should be thoroughly reexamined."

"You gentlemen may cry Peace, Peace-but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the North may bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field ! Why stand idle? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God ! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me Death !"

Patrick HenrY'

:r :N< :*

Seventeen years ago, against the best judgment and advice of every capable thinking American patriot, tlris government of ours "recognized" Russia, and welcomed her into the commonwealth of civilized nations. This writer, as well as every other man for whom I had the least respect, was horrified. Russia was NOT a civilized nation, so far as her government was concerned. She was led by a murderous Asiatic. He had destroyed millions of his own people. He had wiped out the thinking men of his own country. He was and is the most horrid monster in human history. ***

In spite of these and a million other things, President Roosevelt "recognized" that demon government, that group of beast men who seek to destroy the civilized and Christian world. We gave to that foul nest of harpies recognition, credit, position, and money in countless sums. It was we, and only we, who built her to unbelievable size and power-and savagery. We did it.

AND NOW LOOK !

*'k*

It is too early for a twice-a-month article such as this to attempt to discuss the present war situation. The casualty lists are already heavy on our souls. "fn the midst of life we are in death," indeed. In the midst of a troubled peace we are suddenly in a shooting war, an unexpected war that seems to have caught us napping. Were it not for the great confidence of the American people in the Magnificent MacArthur and his ability to straighten out some of the blunders that have been made about Russia ever since 1933, this country would be deep in gloom. It's bad enough, evin with the great soldier on the front line job.

*>kt<

His colleagues in the lower house of Congress gave him

strong applause the other day, when a Texan made the ; suggestion that we serve official notice on North Korea to '.1 get back across her Southern boundary line within a week, .,; and if she fails to do so, let's just wipe her cities off the .; map with atom bombs. It is human nature to applaudsuch a suggestion. Personally, I would rather see every i: damnable slant-eyed Mongolian in Northern Korea wiped .: entirely off the map, than see one good American boy lyingl..:* in his blood. That's how little I think of those brown- j$ skinned savages, and how much I think of our boys. I tl: think the young Congressman was right. I think we should : :r J do whatever will save American lives. There are too many: i:{ Mongolians now. lg :N< ,t rt< - t

About a year ago I heard General Eaker, formerly in d charge of our air forces in Europe, make a speech in which ,# he suggested that we arrange an atom bomb station at a .T strategic point in Europe, and stock it properly with every- *ii thing essential to the job. Then, the first overt act of war .r]$ Russia makes, we follow a plan well worked out, and wipe ,i"i every main city of Russia entirely off the map in just no .'; time at all. It is idle to argue that you can't win a war ,. i wtih atom bornbs. If tfre Russians had no cities lefg and - { no homes to go back to, the war would be over. I'd like .;* to second that motion, too.

Enormous new expenses come with the shooting war. .i' There seems a disposition in Congriss to insist.on cutting ..,:' down other expenses to meet these new and vital ones. f 1 was reading just the other day about the money we are i: dumpingintoAfrica,undertheMarshallPlan.Looks1ike there should be some part of the world ogr taxpayers could ; stop supporting, especially with a grave war of unknown ;. proportions suddenly thrust upon us. The Marshall Plan fi officeinParishandlesourgiftstoAfricanterritory.Among many other things we are financing very expensive geo- 'r' logical explorations in the Sahara Desert, searching for i; minerals.

Which reminds us that in Alabama, the Chambers of 'fi Commerce of the cities of Anniston and Gadsden have '' erected billboards along the highways that read: "Every time the sun sets your federal government is fifteen million :'l; dollars deeper in debt. How long can this last?"

"When you buy a lawn mover for $21, remember that you pay $14 for the machine, and $7 for taxes." If that sort of reminder should be tacked on everything the consumer buys from a loaf of bread to an ocean yacht, it would help reduce taxes. We've got a war to fight and win now, and we've got to pitch in and pay for it. But certainly the time has come to cut out every unnecessary expense not connected with the war effort. *rF

There is a part of.the Declaration of Independence that reads: "lfe has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." I thought of that when I read the other day about the multitude of federal employes who cover this land like the locusts the Bible tells about. In Washington there are 213,000 federal payroll people; in New York City there are 121,100; San Francisco has 70,000; Chicago, 56,900; Philadelphia, 55,100; Los Angeles, 40,300; and other great armies of them in every other city in the land. The list of cities that have more than ten thousand federal employes is as long as your arm.

A report recently issued by the CED-Committee for Economic Development-stated that wages in the United States have increased three-fold in the last fifty years. That seems to me to be a very debatable statement, just glancing back over the days of my youth. We used to pay 50 cents a sack-one and one-half bushels-for potatoes. That was a going price for many years. Sirloin steak cost not over 12 cents a pound. Everything else was in proportion. That same sirloin steak costs at least $1.50 a pound today, and potatoes are proportionately high. I believe a man making two dollars a day fifty years ago could buy more of the necessities of life of all kinds, than a fifteen dollar a day man can buy today. Scores of comparisons come to my mind.

Think of the difference ,ri,nl cost of medicine. rt seems to ine that when I was a kid a druggist would sell you a doctor's bottled prescription for less money than you can buy that same empty bottle today, without the medicine. Liver was free at the butcher shop when you bought a ten cent round steak.

The CED report makes lrr.*norrr, I am happy to agree

with. We used to buy our butter out of open tubs, our meat out of unprotected boxes, and most of our other eatables were at the mercy df dust, dirt, and insects. Today the quality of goods has improved, their variety has broad- "-r ened, and eatables reach the consumer wonderfully freshero ';$ cleaner, and more eatable than in the old days. Our stan&,..fl ards of living have improved tremendously. So, of course, .j:$ have the costs. But we now have pure foods, pure drugs,';,1fi and highly sanitary conditions prevailing in everythi:g lili we buy. Most of the increase in wages have come in the ',i:lJS Iast ten years; and it seems to me that the cost of living ",:ff has risen during that same time fully as much as the in- .;# crease in wages. . bj

4. What species and grades should be specified in the lumber. invitation to bid?

To mobilize lumber for a shooting war calls for extensive planning. The Munitions Board has assigned the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to handle the mobilization program and supervise purchases of lumber for all Services.

Charles A. Leonard, Chief of the Engineers' St. Louis Procurement Office, outlined the program briefly before the NLMA Advisory Board at its Spring Meeting in Washington May 2-5.

The first step in the program is to determine the amount of lumber required for an initial 3-year period. Actual purchase of lumber would begin on Mobilization Day. The second step is to work out production schedules with designated lumber suppliers. If the schedules are set up NOW they will be converted to purchase orders immediately on M-Day. Thus, the mills can go to work at once and maintain the necessary flow of lumber to the Armed Forces.

At the request of the NLMA Advisory Board, Mr. Leonard followed up this brief description by sending to each of the Federated Associations a statement of the broad general plan of action. In view of the regional nature of lumber production and the nation-wide buying of military lumber, Mr. Leonard listed in his letter to the Regionals the four big procurement problems facing the Corps of Engineers in its mobilization effort.

These four problems are

1. Should lumber be purchased f.o.b. mill or f.o.b. destination.

In his letter, Mr. Leonard said that an industry advisory' committee to work with the Military on the program is under consideration. But until such a .committee is organized, he asked the Regionals to consider setting up an informal interim committee to handle the four immediate problems.

Procurement Chief Leonard indicated in the outline of the program sent to the Regionals that no direct action is yet required by individual manufacturers. They will be contacted by the Procurement Office in the near future.

The Regionals have expressed their willingness to cooperate in every way to assist the Defense Department in the drive to be prepared on the lumber front.

Charles B. \(/hite

The subject of this lumber career sketch. Charles B. White is a vice president of White Brothers, the widely known San Francisco and Oakland firm that has been in the hardwood lumber business since 1872, and is therefore now in its 79th year.

Charlie, as he is known to a large circle of friends, is the younger son of the late C. H. (Harry) White, vice president and general manager of White Brothers for many years. He is the capable manager of the Oakland operation.

He was born in Alameda in 1910, attended local schools, and was graduated from the University of Oregon, Eugene, having majored in business administration.

"Raised in the shadow of a tree," Charlie heard lumber talk at home through all his early years, and worked in White Brothers' ,vard from the age of 13 in summer and winter vacations. After graduation from college he worked at various jobs, and learned to fly in that period at Oakland Airport, qualified for his private pilot's license, and kept in flying plactice for several years.

He started to work for White Brothers in the office in 1936, and worked in both San Francisco and Oakland offices alternately, under the guidance and instruction of his father, whose kindly instruction was extended to every individual in both the White Brothers' operations.

Charlie entered the Navy in the spring of 1943, and spent most of his time in the service out in the South Pacific, as Lieutenant in the Gunnery Department, on a combat carrier. He was discharged in November, 1945.

He returned to White Brothers in January, 1946, worked in the San Francisco office until 1947, when he went to the Oakland yard as manager. He has taken over the duties of superintending the yard work in addition to managerial cluties. Running the office, yard, and dry kilns makes him

a very busy man. Then he finds time to confer with his' brother, Don F. White, who is vice president and general manager of the firm, and also keeps in close touch with President W. T. White.

White Brothers' Oakland yard has complete stocks bf hardwoods, which are maintained in proper balance in the various species and thicknesses. This operation, established-' 22 years ago, is one of the finest and best operated hardwood plants in the country of its size.

Mr. White married Miss Maud McCandlish, of Alameday' whom he met at the University of Oregon, in 1936. They have a fine family of four children, two boys of 11 and 5, and two girls of 13 and 8. They live in Alameda.

Charlie is a Rotarian. His hobbies are woodworking, and gardening.

\(/ood Study Kits Popular

Washington-Over 600 of the new wood study kits, recently announced by the Timber Engineering Company laboratory, have been sold in the past six weeks, according to Robert Hol-. combe, technician in charge of this laboratory project. "H"lf of the orders have come from lumber, furniture and woodworking companies. Many firms are giving kits to local Scout organizations and 4-H clubs. Other commercial firmg purchasing kits include radio, pulp and paper, food, glue and machinery companies for their own use.

Architects, trade associations, and research institutions, including variotts government and defense agencies are making use of this practical and easy method of wood identification.

Neatly packed in a lr-ood box, the kit contains 54 specimens of comrnercial species and wood products used in the United States. To make identification and general knowledge of wood both entertaining and instructive, a Teco lO-power hand lens, knife and 84-page illustrated book complete the kit.

Kits are sold by the Timber Engineering Company at $8.50, delivered anywhere in the continental U. S. Outside the continental U. S., price is $8.50 f.o.b. Washington, D. C.

At least 1,000 different kinds of trees are found in the forests of the United States. Of these only about 100 are used for lumber or other manufactured products.

The \(/itch Doctor

The two funniest men on earth to just sit around and listen to, are Joe Frisco, the stammering comedian, and Walter Catlett. When it cornes to sheer personal ability to entertain, they make the men with the big names in radio or screen or television look small. Frisco stutters enormously funny things. Catlett lives, and talks, and acts what he is telling you. When he starts to talk, all men stop to listen. He told me one the other day. Too bad you can't hear him, but I'll do the best I can to type it for you.

An English gentleman stood at a bar having himself a spot of liquor. Not far down the bar stood another gentleman, also by himself, doing the same. The first gentleman hears a voice that seems to come from the floor between himself and the other gentleman, and the voice says:

"Oh, I say, Percy, lift me up, won't you, so that I can have a spot o' drink?"

"Pardon me, Rollo," said the other gentleman at the bar, "I didn't notice you come in."

Saying which he reached down to the floor and picked up a little man. IIe was not more than a foot high, well dressed and well proportioned, but unbelievably small. He was placed on the bar, where he ordered a Scotch and soda. Meanwhile the first man was staring with open mouth and eyes at the midget. So the other gentleman spoke up. He said:

"Rollo, the gentleman is staring at you, for which, I am certain, you will not blame him. The gentleman doesn't understand, Rollo, that you lvere once a famous explorer. in the wilds of Africa. Go ahead, little Rollo, and tell the gentleman what the African witch doctor did to.you when you told him you thought he was a bloody, blawsted fakir!"

Pope & Talbot Votes Employees' Bonus National Hardwood Rules Committee Approves Milpak Grade

Washington-The inspection rules committee of the National Hardwood Lumber Association approved a proposed grade for Milpak during its recent meeting, June 29-30, in Chicago, which will be submitted for adoption at the annual meeting of the Association in September, according to \Ar. H. Nelson, Chief Inspector.

Developing a suitable grade for l\{ilpak culminates an intensive two-year program conducted by Timber Engineering Company laboratory, for the Harrlwood Research Committee of National Lumber Manufacturers Association. to obtain greater utilization of low-grade hardwood lumber. This new product, manufactured from No. 2 Common hardwood, is produced as packaged lumber of random lengths and widths. Present indications are that it will find wide acceptance by furniture manufacturers and wood products plants.

According to comments made by students attending Milpak training courses in the TECO laboratory, a number of lumber manufacturers are prepared to begin production of Milpak irnmediately.

Pope & Talbot, Inc., shipping and lumber firm, on July 15 paid a bonus to all monthly salaried employees equal to 1O per cent of their salary for the six months ending June 30.

In making the announcement from his San Francisco headquarters, President George A. Pope, Jr., said that satisfactorv earnings for the first half of 1950 had made possible the bonus voted by the board of directors.

"The loyalty and hard work of our employees played an important part in the successful operations we enjoyed thc last six months," Pope explained. "We feel that they deserve this recognition."

Pope & T,albot, Inc., recently celebrated its 100th anniversary as one of the oldest business enterprises on the Pacific Coast. It maintains lumber mills in Oregon and Washington, together with a cargo and passenger shipping service to the east coast of South America, Puerto Rico, and intercoastal, between leading Atlantic and Pacific ports.

The stafi of the Timber Engineering Company has also made a partial survey of companies that use low-grade hardwood lumber. Names of those companies which have expressed an interest in buying Milpak are available to industry representatives attending the training courses.

The next Milpak school will start on Monday, August 21, and end on Friday, August 5. The number of enrollees for each course is limited to 10 to insure maximum personal attention for all students.

In addition to the Teco staff, representatives of packaging machinery companies and woodworking machinery concerns will serve as guest lecturers, thereby giving trainees the most up-to-date and best possible information on modern manufacturing methods.

Complete information and application blanks for enrollment in the August 2I-25 course in Milpak and Low Grade Lumber Utilization will be promptly furnished upon request to C .A, Rishell, Director of Research, Timber Engineering Company, 1319 Eighteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D. C.

\Tholesale Distribution Yard

Since the u'holesalc distribution yard of Tarter, Webstcr & Johnson u'as opened in 1917 at 1200 Barrclini lloulevard, I-os Angeles, the grou'th of the business there has been phenomenal.

Early in 1917 liric Hexberg, the marrager, started occupying part of the company's office on South l{ill Street, u'hilc the distribtrtion yard ltuildings were under construc-

tion. He ancl one salesman and a secretary made uo the lvhole staff.

When the yarcl was opene(l a ferv nronths l:rter rvith n'hat u'as then considered a fair stock of Ponderosa and Sugar pine lumlter and moulclings, the monthly volume begarr to increase by leaps and bounds. A second shed for upper grades ancl n.roulclings was built and the inventorv grcatly increaserl tcl take care of the constantly expanding business.

There are now five salesmen working out of the Los Angeles office. One of these sells sash and doors exclusively. One salesman works the San Diego territory. The stafi includes a yard superintendent, a credit manager, several young ladies doing se,cretarial and billing work, a receptionist, and the manager.

In the group picture three of the salesmen are shown. They are Harold Weber, who has been with the organization since TWJ started in Los Angeles in 1947; Charles Schumacher, and B. P. Scofield, who handles sash and doors exclusively. The three girls in the picture are Grace Amyes,

Mr. Hexberg's secretary; Mary Lou Beck, receptionist and billing clerk, and Ethel Stanley, bookkeeper. Also in the picture are Max Hill, yard superintendent, and Ralph Alexander. accountant.

Eric Hexberg, TWJ's Los Angeles manager, is recognized as one of the most capable young executives in the industry. Now 34, he has worked in the lumber industry all of his business life. His father was a millman, and Eric worked in sawmills and box factories in his summer vacations while at school in Klamath Falls. When the family moved to Los Angeles he worked in wholesale and retail yards, and rose from yard superintendent to manag'er in one of these positions. From this job he entered the Army Air Force, became a B.25 pilot and saw action overseas. He returned to the lumber business immediately after his discharge from the service.

With the present volume of business at the Los Angeles yard approaching 8 million feet a month, the outlook for TWJ is for an even larger business in the near future.

The second picture shows one of the two sheds in TWJ's yard. In these large sheds upper grades and mouldings are stored under cover. The sheds are so arranged that orders can be loaded very efficiently and promptly.

The TWJ organization operates eight sawmills, producing Ponderosa pine, Sugar pine, White fir, Douglas fir, and Incense cedar; also pine doors, pine and fir mouldings, pine plywood, and cut stock.

Plywood Cate, Storage and Displ"y

For the past decade, practically all of California's almost 2,000 retail lumber dealers have-when permitted by war and post-war shortages-carried fairly complete stocks of plywood and have devoted considerable portions of their storage space to keep it clean annd undamaged.

Today, as always, proper storage, display and handling is an actual dollars and cents savings proposition, based on the fact that clean, attractive, unmarred plywood sells better and faster than a damaged piece whi,ch must be sold at a reduced price. Not to be overlooked is that properly cared for and delivered panels means customer satisfaction and freedom from complaints.

Plywood is an engineered or manufactured product. And while one of the main selling points is the panel's rugged strength and splitproofness, plywood can be damaged by careless or improper handling. Plywood should never be placed in any position where it can be stepped on or scuffed. Nor should the panels be stacked on sides or ends for any extended length of time. In removing panels from bins, care should be tbken to avoid dragging the corner of one piece across the face of another; a marred or gouged face is likely to result.

Plywood should be stored in a closed building, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, rather than an open shed. Since sun or other strong direct light will give unprotected fir a distinct reddish-,brown cast, and render it less suitable for interior paneling or other uses requiring a natural or light stain finish, panels should be covered for protection against light as well as excessive moisture and damage from careless handling.

Most yards use a piece of plywood as a permanent top or cover board to protect stacked plywood. The cover board also serves to protect the faces against moisture which is liable to cause checking and warping. Panel edges require no particular care except that panels should be piled evenly and tightly.

Generally speaking, most retail dealers prefer to store panels flat in individual bins segregated according to grade and thickness. Wherever possible, bin compartments should have a plywood or other solid floor to prevent sagging and solid or enclosed sides to protect edges and corners.

Since storage space is at a premium in most busy retail yards, extra-long plywood panels sometimes iresent a problem. Generally, ten-foot lengths can be stored in regular bins, although edges and corners must be protected if they protrude more than a few inches. If inventory. turnover is fairly rapid, l2-foot or longer lengths can be stored vertically in specially constructed racks. In this case, it is important that the long lengths are adequately supported to prevent bending or buckling

Larger yards which use fork lifts to move plywood stacks have found that a simple plywood pallet affords extra protection against chipping or bruising panels. A pallet can be easily built by nailing rf" plywood to either side of 2x4 or 4x4 framing members set about 24' on centers. A pallet is almost mandatory when handling panels with two sides suitable for fine finishing such as Exterior and Interior A-A or A-B. When one-sided panels such as PlyShield or PlyPanel are being lifted by a fork truck, however, a pallet is not needed if the panel back is at the bottom of the stack and face on top.

In delivering plywood to the jobsite or customer, the panels should be covered in damp weather and treated like other finish materials and protected from chain or rope scars by wood.blocks or heavy canvas pads. At the jobsite, panels should not be delivered to a house where the plaster is still wet; panels should be placed in a dry, covered place,

of Lamon-Bonnington Co., left July 15 for two weeks' Canyon resort.

, Frank Click, manager of the Los Angeles yard, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, was a recent visitor to the Northwest where he spent several days calling on the mills.

Norm Cords, Cords Lumber Co., San Francisco, left July 1 to spend vacation with his family at Clear Lake Highlands, Calif.

W. W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, Seattle, Wash., writes: "In 1950 I have had the privilege of traveling more than 15,000 miles, and the most interesting spot I have visited has been Lakewood Park, Calif., where the vast corporation of Lakewood Park, comprising 3,500 acres, is under construction. To me the most interesting thing I saw during my two days visit in this unbelievably large project was the shingle escalator."

This time and money saving shingle loading device was developed and used by Bob Griffin, contractor, of Belleflower, Calif. The accompanying photograph shows one of three escalators used by Mr. Griffin to deliver shingle bundles directly onto an endless belt which carries them in a steady stream to the ridge of the roof, where they are unloaded ready for immediate application. The belt is reversible permitting any surplus bundles to be returned to the ground level.

Mr. Griffin is currently engaged in numerous shingling projects in Southern California, the most spectacular of which is the 18,000 housing project at Lakewood Park, the largest housing project in the world, where more than 320,000 squares of red cedar shingles are being applied. When completed this Lakewood community will house nearly 70,000 people, with one of the stores in its business center representing an expenditure of $5,000,000.

\7hite Fir--King o[ the Associated Woods

O[ the Western Pines

White fir, second only to Douglas fir of the Western pine region in production volume, is more than just another word in ths associated species lineup. It is the fastest growing species in consumer acceptance of the entire group.

Averaging 108 million feet in production through the pre' war years of 1937-4I, output since 1945 has jmped to 605 million, nearly a 600 per cent gain. Production in 1949 was an estirnated 650 million.

White fir is not a specialty wood. Its uses are not restricte<i to any phase of building, industrial or construction fields. Properly manufactured and seasoned, it is instead a general utility lumber suitable for all purposes, from the roughest of form lumber to the best in economical finish work.

White fir timber is found in mixed stands throughout the Western pine region intermingled with one or more of the three Western pines and other associated woods. Harvested with the other species, it is frequently available in mixed cars together with an assortment of many of them.

A brief run-down of the properties provide a clue to its value as a general purpose wood. It is non-resinous and, because of its thin-walled and fairly uniform-sized cells 'and its very narrow summerwood band, fine textured. Springwood is flat white in color and the summerwood has a slight reddishbrown tinge.

The wood weighs 27 pounds per cubic foot and has a specific gravity of .38 at 12 per cent moisture content. In strength, it ranks with the several important softwoods of similar weight and density in bending resistance, compression and stiffness. Average volumetric shrinkage when dried from a green state to 12-15 per cent is 4.9 per cent.

It is easy to work with either hand or machine tools and machines to silky soft surfaces readily adaptable to paints, varnishes or stains without special priming treatment.

Ability of white fir to hold nails is comparable to woods of similar density. It is listed by the Forest Products Laboratory in the top group of four classifications as a wood which "glues easily with difierent glues under a wide range of gluing conditions."

Strongr, dimensioncrlly stable, recdily ncilcble and cccurqtely ncnulcctured, White Fir is crn exceptioncrl lrcrming ratrtericl.

The wood of white fir is odorless and tasteless after it has been dried. It may be treated with standard commercial preservatives. Its light, open-pored structure makes it one of the finest natural insulators in the softwood field.

In the residential building field, white fir is at its all-around best. Starting with concrete forms and ending with paneling and woodwork, it furnishes ample strength, good nailability, high dimensional stability and fine appearance for any purpose. It excels as studding, joists, plates, bridging, headers and fire stops. For sheathing, subflooring and roof decking, the wood gives exceptional service in use, superior insulation value and flat, true surfaces for application of siding, flooring and shingles.

The light weight of white fir, its accurate milling, dimensional stability and paint receptive surfaces make it a fine quality siding. It is available in a broad range of patterns and styles. Inside the house, white fir paneling, moulding and architectural woodwork is in high demand because of its light color

(Continued from Page 32) and careful manufacture. It is particularly preferred for modern interiors where pastel finishes are used.

Many woodwork plants are turning to white fir for the manufacture of window and door frames and sash, combination doors, storm sash and screens and furniture and find it equally adaptable to cabinetwork, Venetian blinds, counter tops, fencing, trellises, mantels, garage doors, ironing boards, medicine chests and other built-ins'

The industrial user finds white fir excellent for warehouse and factory flooring, car bracing and dunnage, casket shook, shelving, toy parts, crating, sheds and small enclosures, sign boards, etc. Among the railroads, it is utilized for cable boxes, coal doors, gates, grain doors, small buildings, fencing and ties'

About the farm, the utility value of white fir makes it ideal for the many miscellaneous uses, such as cribbing, troughs, feeders, pens, grain chutes, seed bed boards, stall partitions, and enclosures of all description, both small and large.

White fir is classified in Group I of four classifications by the Forest Products I-aboratory in suitability for box shook use. The rating is reflected in its expanding popularity, for today more than 20 per cent of the white fir production goes into shook.

Why, then, if white fir can handle so many jobs, hasn't it been used in volume before? The answer is that lack of recog' nition of the wood's value resulted in improper manufacturing care. which in turn had made customer acceptance dififrcult or

All-Stael Lumber Tree

The W. E. Cooper Lumber Co. and W. B. Jones Lumber Co., Inc., Los Angeles, have added the All-Steel Lumber Tree to their yard equipment and state that they are operating very successfully. The manufacturers report that they are being well accepted by the trade.

The standard model All Steel Lumber Tree is 16 feet high, and has five shelves on each side of the center uprights. Each shelf will accommodate a load, of lumber five feet in width, and the shelves will hold stock 10 feet and longer. They are not stationary and can be moved around the yard to any location to meet the dealer's convenience.

The manufacturers can design and engineer a Tree with more or less bins to meet your needs. They also make a Tree with bins on one side-loaded from one side onlythat can go along a fence line.

For information and prices on all models phone or write the Aircraft Development and Engineering Co., 341 North Foothilt Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. The telephone numbers are BRadshaw 2-4427 and CRestview 6-3518.

impossible. But the right supply situation of post-war years forced better processing, consequent utilization and realization that here was a wood for all-around use permitting marked economies wherever it was put to service.

The general result will continue to be better construction at reduced costs, and greater utilization of forest resources.

Half a billion dollars worth of buildings were, estimated to be under construction throughout the country at the end of the first half of the year; a record-breaking total.

The first relief ship to land a cargo of lumber at Santa Barbara after the earthquake was the Silverado, a Charles R. McCormick & Company vessel. She unloaded a quarter of a million feet.

One of the largest mill and timber deals in West Coast history has just been announced, whereby a new Delaware corporation, the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company which has just been organized for this purpose, took over the huge timber and mill properties of Pope & Talbot. This includes three billion feet of timber in the Northwest, two great sawmills on Puget Sound, and tremendous other properties, the total being about twenty million dollars. The new McCormick corporation also took over all of the various Chas. R. McCormick corporations, eight in number. The McCormick interests have for several years past been the largest single factor in the marketing and production of Northwest forest products, having handled 530 millioir feet last year. With the addition of the great Pope & Talbot interests, the new Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company is one of the biggest lumber combinations in history. The entire deal was a consolidation of the Pope & Talbot and McCormick lumber, timber, mill, and steamship interests under the new McCormick cor-

Hoo-Hoo Makes History \(/here History \(/as Made

Hoo-Hoo is looking forward to its 59th convention-the 1950 annual-which will be held in Boston, September 7, 8 and 9. A three-day session is scheduled but arrangements have been made for.registering and informal sessions on the afternoon of the 6th. All sessions will be held at the Copley-Plaza Hotel-the convention headquarters.

The program of the convention will be devoted primarily to the business of Hoo-Hoo. The purpose is to give the many delegates representing Hoo-Hoo Clubs and the membership-at-large, an opportunity to report on activities throughout the Hoo-Hoo domain. All will be given opportunity to discuss and suggest so that constructive plans and programs may be developed to bring to fruition the aims and objectives of Hoo-Hoo. The election of Snark of tl-re Universe and all national officers is scheduled for September 9,-National Hoo-Hoo Day.

The membership of Hoo-Hoo is now at an all time high, approaching the 9000 mark. There are 80 Hoo-Hoo Clubs and advance reports indicate that all will be represented at the conventionl

The host club is the Harry L. Folsom,Hoo-Hoo Club No. 13 of Boston. The ger-reral chairman of the convention is U. Monte Carlton, L-31882. Walter W. Webb, Jr.,45745 is president of the Club. The head of Jurisdiction No. 1, which includes Boston is Supreme Gurdon, Robert J. Stalker, 36918 of Quincy, Massachusetts. These men have surrounded themselves with active committees who have gone all out to assure a successful convention. Mrs. Don B. Hyde heads the hostess committee.

With this convention at Boston, it may be truly said that "Hoo-Hoo makes history where history was made". and that will indeed be the key note of the Convention. In addition to the serious business, the convention committee l.ras arranged an unusually fine social program in which the visitation of historic Boston and environs will play a principal part. A typical New England clam bake is one of the highlights. The program is guaranteed to demonstrate true Yankee hospitality coupled with the good fellowship that typifies the true Hoo-Hoo spirit.

Headed by Supreme Snark Martin T. Wiegand, 44882 of Washington, D. C., national regional and local officers of Hoo-Hoo, together with the many delegates will converge on Boston in September, to make Hoo-Hoo History.

)erry Clough Joins \(/holesale Lumber Firm

Announcement was made last week by George Clough that his son, Jerry, had joined his wholesale lumber distribution company and would immediately start contacting Southern California retail lumber dealers.

Jerry has spent the past five years in preparation for this important post in learning the business from both the wholesale and retail marketing viewpoint. His education in both aspects has been most complete and his services to the firm and customer alike will be reflected in his efficient coverage of the ttT'li,lt;,*

his "hitch" with the United States l\farines during World War II it was the natural thing for Jerry to follow in the footsteps of his father who has been identified in the lumber industry throughout the west for over thirty years.

Poverty Desircrble

James A. Garfield said: "Poverty is uncomfortable, as I can testify; but nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim for himself."

What to Ect

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, eminent food authority, said:

"The whole effort of our country is bent toward securing an adequate food supply. If our dietitians could only learn the truth, how easy it would be to get a supply of this kind ! We eat brands, when we should be eating bran. Our wheat has all its vitality taken out of it to make white flour. We care more for the dairy cow than we do for the American citizen. She gets the real cream of wheat and we get what she is supposed to have-the husks.

"Simple, wholesome wheat-bread and porridge, an abundance of fruits in season, succulent, vegetables, particularly the potato, spinach, and asparagus, with a generous supply of pure, fresh, clean, tuberculin-tested milk, will give the citizen a diet that is wholesome, nutritious, and full of vitamins. To this may be added a moderate supply of good meat and eggs.

"Let me prescribe the diet of the country, and I care not who makes its laws."

Bernard Shaw Loves to Be Hcrted

Dr. Henry Frank said of George Bernard Shaw:

"G. Bernard Shaw will never be a character universally loved. I think if he felt himself to be universally loved he would be the most chagrined individual that nature ever produced. He loves nothing so much as being hated, if the hatred is sincere; he loves nothing so much as being intellectually knocked down, if the individual that attempts it has the capacity to achieve the effort. He is a fighter through and through, an intellectual warrior, a man who, I might say, is pre-eminently one of us. He belongs to this age."

Slow Down

Certainly you are busy. Work is piling up and you fume and fuss and pitch in and work, but it piles up even higher. What the heck? Slow down ! You could live to be as old as Methuselah and still find work piling up on you. One man, haried, hurried, and explosive over his work, lyas advised to wgrk six hours a day instead of eight, and to spend one day a week in the cemetery. Naturally he de. manded to know what he should do all day in the cemetery, and the philosopher who was advising him said: "Just loaf. Sit around. Get acquainted with some of the men who are there permanently. They didn't finish their work, either. Nobody does, you know."

Nerve lndeed

Two stews in the hotel room had been raising cain all night, and toward morning the phone rang and one of them answered it. When he hung up, the other stew demanded to know who it was. t

"It was the manager, said we were. disturbing the guests, and for us to shut up."

The other stew was indignant. He said:

"Shome nerve he's got, dishturbin' us at thish ungodly hour."

Jenny Kissed Me

Jenny kissed me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in, Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets in your list, put that in ! Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have missed me; Say I'm growing old, but addJenny kissed me !

-Leigh Hunt.

She Wcs Rich in llecrrt

There was a mountain woman in Tennessee who just managed to keep alive on her sparse farm. A social worker talked over her situation with her, and asked:

"If the government would allow you two hundred dollars, what would you do with it?"

There was no floor in the cabin. Light came through chinks in the broken walls. Her clothes were poor'. But she thought a moment before she answered:

"Reckon I'd give most of it to the poor."

She Tclked Sense

An old Irishman had collapsed in the street, and a crowd quickly gathered as crowds always will. One woman, Maggie Riley, shouted "Give the poor man some whiskey !" Nobody paid any attention to her, but each offered some remark of his own. Again Maggie Riley cried over the din: "Give the poor man some whiskey t" Then the agonized voice of the collapsed Irishman rose high: "Will the lot of ye hould yer tongues and let Maggie Riley speak?"

A Fcir Woman

To serve a fair woman is all I desire, My soul has found wings and my heart is on fireTo serve a fair woman !

Let the jealous and petty connive all they will, I see a young star at the top, of the hillAnd serve a fair woman !

I've lost half my teeth and my hair has grown gray, But I won't bate a step on love's star-haunted wayI serve a fair woman.

Don, Jr., and Mrs. Philips spent a week recently at the Mexican resort.

Weyerhcreuser Strike Ends

Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. and the CIO International Woodworkers of America have reached an agreement which ended the strike of some 5,000 workers since May 15.

The agreement says there will be no union shop. The agreement, however, does provide for a S-cent hourly wage increase, three paid holidays ayear, and an expanded health and welfare program.

The mills resumed operation on July 25 but it may be a week or two before they get in full production.

Every sack of Calaveras Quality Cement is backed by the integrity and the manufacturing experience of a companywhich for 25 vears has 6eed recognized for the excellence of its products and service.

Plywood Care, Storage and Display

( Continued from Page 22)

terial merchandisers are daily increasing concentration on the sale of the final product such as the complete kitchen, the package home, etc. The same printiple can be easily applied to plywood displays. In selling plywood for kitchen ,cabinets or storage walls, for example, the item to show is a sample, built-up, finished cabinet showing the advantages of tailor-made plywood installations.

In selling plywood to farm customers, for example, a full size or model plywood silo or milk house enables the customer to visualize the completed structure. The same is true of boats, tennis tables and other plywood uses.

A natural way to combine display of plywood with rich, attractive looking showrooms and offices is to panel them n'ith plywood given different types of finish, giving prospects an idea of what their room will look like when done in plywood.

Another sales-building store fixture is a plywood display rack for small or odd-size pieces. The rack can be simply bui11, and placed in one ,corner of the store to display priced plywood pieces much in the manner of a grocery store's display of canned goods. The plywood display rack, many retailers have found, substantially increases over-thecounter sales to small purchasers looking for small plywood pieces for such miscellaneous uses as shelving and hobby projects.

A program of constant expansion, both in production and sales, has marked the tr,l'elve-month period. National distribution came after nine months of operation. Ground is now being broken for a new warehouse and loading dock to store S-million square feet of Forest Hardboard in all sizes, thicknesses and grades. Mr. Miller stated that the Forest Fiber Products Company has recently taken over sales which was formerly handled by Stimson Lurnber Co.

Douglas fir is not a true fir, nor a spruce or pine. Its scientific name is Pseudotsuga taxifolia; "Pseudotsrlga" meaning false hemlock and "taxifolia" meaning needles like a yew.

Mrs. Adeline Merriqm Conner

A true poetess and a truly great woman, went to her immortal reward on the fifteenth day of July, 1950, when Mrs. Adeline Merriam Conner passed away. Ifer passing took place in a hospital in Nevada City, Nevada County, California. With her husband, ex-lumberman Fred, she had lived near Nevada City since 1937, at which time he retired from the retail lumber business in Sacramento. They lived in the family home called The Twelve Cedars of the Twelve Apostles, named after twelve trees that rvere planted there in 1863. She is survived by her husband, Fred E. Conner.

Mrs. Conner was 79 years old. She came to California at the age of 8, and has been writing both prose and poetry, but principally very beautiful poetry, since she was a child. All through her career as the wife of an active lumberman, she translated into poems her inspired and beautiful thoughts about homes, and hills, and trees, and mountains, and other delightful matters. She was a true poet in that all her thoughts were inspirational. She always saw the silver lining to the clouds that came her way, and hers was indeed a beautiful gift. Blindness, that came upon her years ago, seemed to make her mind even brighter.

When the first number of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT was issued on July first, 1922, it contained a beautiful tribute and prophecy about the future of the magazine, under the two-column heading "What The California Lumber Merchant Can Do For California." She has been a constant contributor of beautiful poetry to THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT ever since then, a total of more than 28 years, and scores of her poems have graced these columns.

She concluded that first article of July fi,rst, 1922, with these words:

"We need THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT in our offices and places of business, in our homes, flats, and apartments, on our desks and library tables. We should make it part of our daily lives. We hope for great things and feel sure that no disappointment is in store for us. Give it a hand."

Sleep in peace, dear poetess of the hills.

WE RECOMMEND A GOOD MAN

When we closed our Oroville cut stock plant, Mr. Harold Masteller, in charge, preferred to stay in California; quickly became Superintendent of a wood-working plant which proceeded to burn down and will not be rebuilt.

Mr. Masteller is too capable and energetia not to find a job at once, but he was to oconscientious and hard-working in our behalf for 'us not to help him get the kind of. position he deserves. He has not requ€sted help, kntows nothing about this ad.

He is about 35 years old, married, owns his home, can handle men intelligently; is well liked; knows the sawmill and woodworking game tioroughly-was raised in it.

' Most important-he is capable, hard-working, honest and conscientious to the Nth degree.

If you need a man to take responsibility, take-and give- orders, who isn't afraid of work. we recommend:
