STEALING STORIES
E USED to get mighty peeved early in the life of this magazine, when we would.find . as we did hundreds of times stories and jokes from this journal appearing in national magazines or newspapers, invariably ovir thehame of some other person or magazine. But, we got used to it. Stories, like a gambler's,money, _have no [ome. And so long as they make people laugh, what's the difference ? The laugh's the thing.

Kipling excused literary swiping in this glib fashion:

The most precious trrilg tir"t lrrror", man or business, anybody or anything can have, is the good will of others.

Andrew Carnegie, who was born and raised in poverty but became one of the world's richest men, left this thought on the subject of wealth versus poverty: "I was born in poverty, and would not exchange its sacred memories with the richest millionaire's son that ever lived. Give me the life of the boy whose mother is nurse, seamstress, washerwoman, cook, teacher, angel, and saint all in one, and whose father is guide, exemplar, and friend. These are the boys who are born to the best fortune. Millionaires who laugh, are rare. My experience is that wealth is apt to take the smiles away."

Powder-Post Beetles Dominate Meeting of Cabinet Manufacturer's Association
'TtHE JUNE 26th meeting of the I Southern California Association of Cabinet Manufacturers, held at Swally's Restaurant in Los Angeles, was brought to order by the association's president, Dick Ruhoff. Dick initiated the evening's activities by having each person seated at the dinner table introduce the individual seated on his right side. Through this unique method of introduction a friendlv atmosohere prevailed over the entireheeting. -
F'irst on the agenda was a scrumptious dinner, a la Swally's, a very popular item which quickly disappeared, and the scene was set for the evening's business.
by the association members, and Bob Neiman accepted the membership for he and his partner.
Launching into a management-labor discussion, Dick Fenton, Labor Negotiator, gave an informative report on changes in union wage scales.
Next on the program was a film entitled "Yours Forever," an exciting documentary which vividly depicted the hardships of harvesting hardwoods in the Southern States. The film's audience, including this reporter, was held spellbound by the perilous attempts of Southern lumberjacks to cut hardwood in poisonous-snake infested swamplands.
This interesting reel of celluloid also pointed out the difference between hardwoods and softwoods, the basic difference being that hardwoods are the deciduous trees which lose their leaves in the Fall and softwoods are everg'reens which retain their leaves throughout the entire year. Another fascinating fact mentioned in the film was that over one hundred species of hardwoods are used in the commercial lumber business.
informal discussion, between Professor Ebeling and Association Members, concerning legal aspects of fixing responsibility when wood becomes infected with powder-post beetles after it has been sold to the consumer.

Primarily, on the Business Agenda, was a progress report trom vaflous association committees, and secondly, vice-president Joe DeMarco presented his iemarks. It was announced that Neiman and Reed had been nominated for membership in the association. The nomination was unanimously approved
The final highlight of the evening's program was a stimulating speech made by Professor Ebeling, Head of the Entomology Department at U.C.L.A., in which he discussed different methods of detecting and destroying the destructive powder-post beetles. Professor Ebeling voiced his exDerienced opinion that spraying a residual powder is the most effective and long-lasting method of combatting this and other insects which infect lumber.

I & Cooke has made important contributions toward building a better Hawaii through service to builders," said J. W. 'Jim' Lovell, vice president and general manager of the building materials division of the pioneer Hawaiian firm.
And last year the 450 company employees serviced in excess of 20,000 builder customers in the 50th state, doing a gross dollar volume in excess of 23.4 million, making a very important contribution toward the housing of the people involved in the population explosion that has hit the Islands since the close of World War II.
Lewers & Cooke, Ltd., established its building materials distributing concern in 1852 and has been continuously identified in lumber and allied products since that time. It is divided into 10 merchandising departments to make it easy for customer selection.
Lewers & Cooke a Vital Facfor in the Growth of Hawaii
By OtE MAY
"booming" from early morning until late at night to keep abreast of the constant demand for Lewers & Cooke services.
The other departments of the division include Construction Materials Department, Architectural Metals, Glass and allied materials department, Paint, Flooring, wall surfacing, plumbing, tools, hardware and machinery. In addition there is a plan room and display store on the first floor of the administration building where customers may browse and select every item available anywhere in the world for any job. They can discuss the cost of a new home, a remodeling job or a repair job and regardless of the size of the purchase the customer receives undivided attention regarding his problems.
In the huge plant managed by Tom Prentice every modern method is applied for fast handling of materials into and out of the mill and storage area. Being close to their lumber docks at pier 2, lumber carriers and trucks are moving in and out at a terrific rate. But there is one unit of mobile equipment we had never seen in operation on the mainland. It is called the "Traveloader" and can build a truck load of various lumber materials, sizes, lengths, and grades in less time than it takes to say "I{ulaland." This unit has many uses and in addition to its many functions is also equipped with its own fork lift. From all indications the Traveloader can perform several jobs
at one time-and Lewers & Cooke have four of them in operation at the Piikoi Street yard. A complete custom mill service is also available for remanufacturing and customer service.
It has been said that if the soup is good in a restaurant the complete meal will be enjoyable. Viewing the complete operation and thorough maintenance of all equipment, trucks, warehouses, loading docks, offices and display areas, including the beautiful buildings of Lewers & Cooke was most enjoyable, too. Right down to the menus in the employees' luncheon good management was evident everywhere.
These are but a few observations made during a visit that was all too short. We would like some day to see the operation of the Hilo branch yard on the Island of Hawaii. Lumbermen from the mainland who travel to the 50th state should drop in on Jim Lovell and see how they administer one of the largest retail lumber operations west of Chicago.
"We operate as a team to coordinate and balance our services and sales. Competition in our field is very keen, so we maintain an inventory second to none, and because we believe customer service is the top item in any business we have the trained staff available to handle every situation," said Mr. Lovell.
That is why they are considered the largest building materials firm in BOOMING Hawaii.
This well organized merchandise division is managed by Jim Lovell, vice president, who is a veteran in the lumber and building materials field. He is assisted by 12 top flight lieutenants. Carl X. Kufferath manag'es the lumber department, assisted by Tom Prentice who also has charge of the finest, cleanest yard operation in any of the 50 states. Good housekeeping is evident everywhere and modern methods and machinery keep this retail operation

Foresf Products Day a Big Event
September 9 will mark another Forest Products Day of California, to be held at the State Fair in Sacramento.
Two years ago the Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club staged the first such event. It was such a success that Forest Products Day of California, Inc.,, was formed to carry on the work.
Last year seventeen thousand people, in the grandstand alone, witnessed the program, besides four or five thousand persons in the bleachers and in an open space before the grandstand. Publicity agents estimated that the show reached at least five million people throughout the State, through Fair viewers, radio, t.v. and the newspapers.
This year the number one attraction of the show will be Danny Sailor with his amazing stunts on top of the tree he has topped. Russ Ellison and his charming daughter, Diane, r'ill delight the crowd with their log rolling perIOrmance.

Sitka Spruce in the Retail Yard
By ROIF D. c[ERUtvt West Coost lumbermen's Associoiion
q ITKA SPRUCE has the L, strength-to-weight ratio
highestof any odorless and
According to the latest data available, there are approximately 10 billion board feet of Sitka spruce merchantable timber available for harvest.
The above are but three of many sometimes-overlooked and slightly- known facts about Sitka spruce lumber. While the major portion of Sitka spruce production goes into industrial products and specialty items, its qual- ity of appearance and value for fiaming are of interest to all lumber sellers.
The area of growth of Sitka spruce is limited to the North Pacific Coast of North America, where it thrives mostly in virgin stands. Although it carries the same generic name (Picea) as Eastern spruce and Engelmann spruce, Sitka spruce is a separate species with different characteristics and properties.
The industrial uses of Sitka sDruce
are numerous and varied. Ladders. garage doors, boat masts and spari and water skis are specialties of -this light and resilient wood, and it has long been used in the manufacture of pianosounding boards and in light aircraft construction.
The pleasing appearance of Sitka spruce, especially in the lower grades, makes it a popular yard item. It is available as boards for sub-floors. sheathing, roof boards and concrete IOrms.
In dimension sizes. it mav be used for heavy roof sheaihing, joists and rafters, studding, plates and other construction members. Because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, it is widely used for scaffold plank.
Sitka spruce also is popular for bevel and bungalow siding. Important for this purpose is its high percentage of heartwood. Its soft, even-grained texture permits nailing without splitting, and it holds paint well, largely because of its non-pitchy character.
The color of the heartwood, which blends gradually into the narrow creamy sapwood, varies from white
o_r light pinkish yellow to pale brown. When planed, the surface of the wood shows a silky sheen. These qualities make it .a pleasant and inviting item for interior paneling and trim. -
- Incidentally, the word spruce stems from Prussia, the countf where it was first known as a sepaiate species. As a matter of fact, some Euiopean countries still use the word spruce as a synonym for Prussia.
Universities Plqn Joint Forestry Seminqr
The College, of Forestry of the University of Washington will cooperate with the Yale University School of Forestry in presenting the'seventeenth Yale Industrial Forestry Seminar at S_eattle during the week October 23-27, 196r.

WCIA Boosts Notionql Foresl Products Week
National Forest Products Week, upcoming in October, will get a big boost again from the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, which announces that it will publish a special edition of its Homemakers Institute featuie service to honor the week.
Last year, for the launching of NFPW, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association issued a complete packet of speeches, news and editorial items, radio and television fillers. The packets were widely used, and more than 5,500 copies were requested.
"We still have a few hundred kits left over from last year," reports Arthur W. Priaulx, public relations director of WCLA, who prepared the complete kit. "These may
be had by writing us at 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon. They are still timely."
The special issue of Homemakers Institute will contain an editorial cartoon by one of the nation's top cartoonists, news items, short paragraph fillers and an editorial. The material will be supplied to some 5,000 newspapers and hundreds of radio and television stations.
"Our regular Homemakers Institute feature service," Priaulx said, "is distributed monthly to over 3,100 newspapers in every state in the Union, and similar material is prepared for radio and television stations."
Hoo-Hoo Clubs will all receive a copy of the special edition of l{omemakers Institute, which will be made available through the courtesy of Ben F. Springer, national secretary of the lumber fraternity which is the national sponsor of National Forest Products Week.

Gql-Door lhtroduces New Window Line
The California Door Company of Los Angeles has announced that it is now the distributor for the new line of Lupton Aluminum Horizontal Sliding Windows.
Competitively priced, the Lupton window is particularly adaptable to contemporary-designed construction, and has many featuers which will appeal to the trade. Among them are:
A satin finish, achieved by an etch and lacquer treatment, which gives an attractive non-glaring surface ; easy gliding, through an unique design which holds moving vents firmly to track; and an adjustable jamb lock-the extruded aluminum lock can be raised or lowered to most convenient height, without tools.
Its uncluttered sill will be appreciated by builders and homemakers alike, for it has no grooves or channels to catch dirt or plaster.
Because of the face glazing, the vent does not have to be disassembled for re-glazing. The fixed portion can also be easily re-glazed, with aluminum snap-in bead.
Produced by the Michael Flynn Manufacturing Company at their modern West Coast plant, the Lupton window is reported to be ideally suited for all residential uses. Additional features include ample nailing flanges, wool pile weather-stripping, simple screening and sturdy constructron.
Cal-Door, which next year will be celebrating its 75th anniversary, has long been known for the excellence and diversity of their products. They have a complete line of all aluminum and wood screen doors, aluminum sliding glass patio doors, the "Sun-Sash" louvre window, the "Louvre King" window, strip hardware and nail-on jalousies.
Well-known to the trade for many years is Cal-Door's own line of sliding windows and doors. Also handled by the firm are such brand products as Masonite, Douglas Fir Plvrvood. and Hardwood Plywood in lauan, birch and ".tt. e"d, of course, glass in all siret and qualities.
Art Parkins is general manager of The California Door Company of Los Angeles which maintains its distribution warehouse-and an immaculately kept one it is-at 4940 District Boulevard. For quality products and quick service, give them a call to LUdlow 8-2I4I.

This ls How One Hoo-Hoo Club Has Worked to Promofe National Forest Products Week
Being o condensofion ol a report by President John R. Osgood of Los Angefes Hoo-Hoo Club No. 2 to Secretary B. F. Springer oI lnternstionql Concofenofed Order ol Hoo-Hoo.
During the spring and early summer of 1960, the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club began serious consideration of the promotion of National Forest Products Week in the greater Los Angeles area. The main problem was in making a real impression on a mass of over 4,000,000 people. While Los Angeles is the largest Hoo-Hoo Club in the International Order, it is hard for any single organization to do a proper job with so many people and such a large area involved.
Under the chairmanship of Hoo-Hoo member and distinguished civic leader Wayne F. Mullin, ably assisted by such Hoo-Hoo personalities as ExSnark of the ljniverse Rov Stanton. Sr., member of the Supreme-Nine Harvey Koll, Dee E,ssley- and Jim Forgie it was determined to depart from the normal approach of Hoo-Hoo clubs to National Forest Products Week. The group first solicited and obtained the
support and guidance of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, which gave the automatic civic approval needed in such a large city. It then began talking to other groups and associations of lumber and wood products industries, and obtained the cooperation of. 20 organizations who represented a very good cross-section of the r,voods industries.
These groups all contributed committeemen to serve on the Los Angeles Committee of National Forest Products Week. Arrangements were made for distribution of 10,000 bumper stickers advertising the Week. Displays were prepared and distributed to 35 banks and other institutions through- out Southern California, and also at Los Angeles fnternational Airport.
Arrangements were made for spot advertising on radio and television during National Forest Products Week.
"Hoo-Hoo members can iustly take credit for beginning this piojeci; and after obtaining the all-out financial and moral support of the other groups, our Club became an integral part of the over-all program," stated President Osgood.
The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce made the project possible, with the main feature of the Week being a large luncheon held at the Chamber building where S. W. Antoville, Chairman of the Board of U.S. Plywood Corporation, was the honored speaker.
"For the first year of such a largescale endeavor," concluded Osgood, "National Forest Products Week in the greater Los Angeles area was a smashing success. It took thousands of man hours and dollars to put the program over. Much was learned in the process, and lve feel that activities this year will be better in every way. 'We have secured the cooperation of several more associations, and the pattern has been set."

Weslern Pine Production Neqr lO-Billion-Foot lYlork
The Western Pine region lumber industry came within a whisker of reaching the l0-billion-foot production mark in 1959, according to final, ofifrcial statistics announced by the Western Pine Association offices.
Going into the permanent record books now is the revised output figure of. 9,923,%0,000 board feet, highest in history of the region and representing about 330,000 cars. It was enough lumber to build about 1,000,000 average sized houses, close to the number built in the United States annually.
The record-breaking production firmed up the Western Pine region's stature as the largest of all lumber-producing regions in the United States. Western Pine took the lead in 1956 and has maintained it each year since.
W. E. Griffee, secretary-manager of the Western Pine association, said the industry's earlier estimates of 1959 production were revised upward to conform with newly announced U.S. Bureau of the Census figures. Until this was done, Western Pine had calculated 1959 production at 9,401,000,000 board feet.
At the same time, 1960 production figures were revised from the early estimate of 8,597,000,000 fiet to 8,967,300,000 feet, third highest in the history of the industry. Second highest was 9,029,800,000 feet in 1956. The industry has produced at a rate of more than 8 billion feet the past six years.
For nearly all 12 states, the 1959 output was highest ever reached. By states, here are the figures: Arizona, 357,300,000 feet ; California-Nevada, 3,148,000,000 feet; Colorado, 225pCO,W feet; Idaho, 1,788,000,000 feet; Montana, 1,043,000,000 feet; New Mexico, 275,8OO,OOO feet; Eastern Oregon, 1,81 1,000,000 feet; South Dakota, 77,800,W0 feet ; Utah, 60,000,000 feet; Eastern Washington, 1,031,000,00O feet; Wyoming, 106,900,000 feet.
Pine-producing areas of 12 western states make up the region, which stretches from the Black Hills to the Cascades and from Canada to Mexico. The 10 species produced are Ponderosa Pine, Idaho White Pine, Sugar Pine, Lodge- pole Pine, Douglas Fir, White Fir, Larch, Engelmann Spruce. Incense Cedar and Red Cedar.
Lumber Production Up l7o/o Over April
National production of lumber scored a substantial gain during May, following a rather disappointing April. According to the National Lumber Manufactuers Association, the May 1961 sawmill output of 3,005,000,000 board feet was 17 per cent greater than in April. For the past several years, the April-May increase has been about five per cent.
Included in the May 1961 production were 2,624,000,000 board feet of softwood lumber and 381,000,000 board feet of hardwoods.
The total lumber output for May was six per cent below May 1960, continuing the year-to-year decline registered each month so far this year. For the first five months of 1961, an estimated national production of 12,833,000,@0 board feet of lumber was 15 per cent below the corresponding 1960 period.
Shipments of lumber in May 1961 were two per cent above the month's production, while the volume of incoming orders fell four per cent behind the output. During the entire January-May period of 1961, however, both shipments and new orders exceeded production by three per cent and six per cent, respectively.
Unfilled order files at the mills declined ten per cent during Nlay. Gross mill stocks of lumber on May 31, 1961, totaled 9,876,000,000 board feet, one per cent below the levels of both April 30, 1961, and the end of May a year ago.

(Continueil from Page 8) operation as it requires the service of only 15 production employees to keep the show on the road and the operation in high gear. Time study and method of production has been one of the salient factors in Jamb Dandy growth.
It was just a little more than three years ago that Vern Paquette and Eugene (Gene) Courchaine organized their wholesale Jamb Dandy Lumber Company, Inc. Since that time, through hard work and application to the production of quality items for the trade, a steady growth has been enjoyed. Vern Paquette was born in E,dmonton, Canada, but raised in the tall timber country in the state of Washington. He started his career as a "Whistle Punk" and for several years worked in every phase of lumber remanufacturing and production. He is the procurement and production executive of the firm. He has a complete knowledge of wood products and their application at the end product.
Gene Courchaine selected lumber as his vocation more than 20 years ago when he joined the old Pacific Sash & Door Company, Los Angeles, and worked in every department before ending up in sales. He has been continuously identified in lumber sales promotion, and allied materials, since that time. He is well known in Southern California having spent a lifetime in the industry in calling on dealers in the territorv.
hysters and trucks will be needed before the end of the year." said Gene Courchaine With a well trained, experienced staff Jamb Dandy has shown a steady, planned growth. Starting early this fall the executives of the firm expect to open eastern markets for their finished products. "We are concentrating our efforts on Southern California but feel that ou.r production, through automation. will increase to such an extent that we'will be in a position to ship to adjacent states, middle west and east before the end of the vear." said Mr. Courchaine.
The progress of Jamb Dandy is a living example of the free enterprise
system. Through customer service these progressive lumbermen have shown a steady growth and have been able to expand the company facilities to offer a better service. It has only taken three years, too.

Lee T. L. Chang Elecfed Snark of Hawaii Hoo-Hoo
Popular Lee Chang, manager of the lumber division of City Mill Company, Honolulu, Hawaii, was elected president of the Islands' Hoo-Hoo club at a general election held on the evening of June 15. He will serve as "Top Ba-. nana" of the l{ula "Black Cats" for the fiscal year ending in June,1962.
Chang identified with the City Mill Company in the 50th State for more than five years, has a most interesting background. He was born in Antung, Manchuria, near the Yalu River 36 years ago during the Japanese occupa-
tion, received his first schooling in Osaka and Kobe and finished high school in Shanghai. China. He is-a graduate of the University of Chungking with a degree in diplomacy.
Following his graduation from college Chang joined the Air Force o{ Free China as an officer, graduated from navigation school and was sent to the United States to complete his training. While studying in Denver he met Mildred Pang from Honolulu and they were married just before his transfer to Kao-hsiung in the southern

part of Taiwan. In Taiwan, Chang was placed in charge of procurement and supplies, and at the time of his discharge from the Nationalist China Air Force he had obtained the rank of major, and aide-de-camp to General ]{"rg Shuming, best known as "Tiger Wang" to western military leaders.
TIRE RESISTA]ICE
Chang is an American citizen, having received his final papers in April, 1960. He is concerned witl-r national politics, economics and defense policies. And, of course, lumber procurement and sales. He and his' familv. which now includes wife Mildred, two sons-Louis and Laban-and two girls -Irene and Kathleen, reside in Kaneohe on the windward side of the islands where they are interested in civic and social affairs.
Chang is pictured here alongside of one of the several Berkot carts his employees use in the lumber division building short orders from inventory. The lumber carts are manufactured in North Hollvwood. California. bv the Berkot )Iinufacturing Company headed by Bert Kotler: "Our yard employees use several methods of transporting lumber throughout the plants but the Berkot carts are busy all the time," said manager Chang.
Chang will never stand still. Although the lurrrber business keeps hirn busy from daylight until dark he is constantly on the alert to improve his position. At the time of this interview he was furthering his education via correspondence courses, with his particular interest in the study of law. Yes-Chang is a most remarkable fellow and extremely interesting, too. He will make a great "Snark" and good leader of Hoo-Hoo.

While the fireworks were going off and a nation was celetrrating the "day of independence" another type of cele,bration was taking place at the home of Joe Allen of Allen Way, Garden Grove, California. Joe was celebrating the day he lost his independence. The day in 1933 when he said "I do." The past twenty-eight years have been happy ones for Joe. This July 4 Joe said 3'I do" again. This time it was to Interstate Container Corporation of Red Bluff, California. He will be their Southern California Sales Representative.
His broad experience in distributor manag:ement, as a distributor salesman, and as a mill representative give him a thorough working knowledge of the problems of the plywood industry. For six years he was with
Davidson Western Plywood Company and served four years as President of the American Plywood and Door Company. After that he was a partner with K. B. Wright and Associates, mill representatives for northwest mills and eastern hardwoods.
Joe Allen is replacing "Bus" McNeil, now with Stewart Plywood Company. Both Joe and "Bus" served in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II, and those in the plywood industry still remember the famous decision made try Joe while stationed at Port Vicente during the war.
In golfing, as in business, Joe Allen is continually adding to his storehouse of knowledge and skills. He plays with a Texas handicap, and is currently working on a new golf swing which he hopes will revolutionize the game.

Martin-Senour Introduces Golvq Eich
A new acid etch which paves the way for lasting paint protection on galvanized metals has been developed by the Martin-Senour palnt company.
Called Galva Etch, it cleans and etches galvanized, galvanealed, zinc-treated and cadmium plated metal surfaces preparatory to painting. It provides a good "anchor" for paint and improves the quality and durability of the paint coat.
Martin-Senour points out that Galva Etch prevents paint from flaking and peeling-a common occurence with zinc-treated metals, The new prod.uct is fast and easy to use. It is simply wiped or brushed on, allowed to work for a few seconds or minutes, rinsed and wiped dry. Because it is a concentrated solution meant to be diluted with water, it goes a long way and is economical to use.
Galva Etch is packaged in a unbreakable plastic one-gallon jug with built-in handle for easy, safe handling. Quart sizes are also available in glass bottles.

lssues New Booklet on Leqse ond Rentql Finonce Plons of Automqtic Lift Trucks
Lease and rental finance plans ofiered by the Automatic Transportation Company of Chicago to buyers and users of the company's industrial lift trucks are explained fully in a new l2-page booklet entitled "Which Is Best For You?"
Since the use of the industrial lift truck is a major factor in curtailing rising costs in all industry from receiving, manufacturing, warehousing, through distribution, it is economically unsound to permit lack of liquid capital to deprive any plant operation of such vital equipment. The new booklet describes methods that enable the buyer or user to avail himself of the economies of more than 200 models of AUTOMATIC lift trucks without impairing existing credit lines, without restrictions on growth and operating efficiency caused by "tight money" and without making large capital expenditures.
This easy-to-read, authoritative report on all facets of industrial lift truck leasing from AUTOMATIC, manufacturers of one of the industry's broadest lines of industrial lift trucks, discusses the why and when of leasing, common leasing problems (and their solution), the various lease plans available, and ways other companies have used leasing to increase profits.
The booklet contains information that is applicable to any size company. A separate supplement carries the latest information on prevailing rates.
To obtain a free copy of the new leasing booklet, write the Automatic Transportation Company, 149 West 87th Street, Chicago 20, Illinois.

Wilderness Booklet qnd Film
Releqsed by Forest Service
Wilderness lands of the National Forests, l4l million acres of majestic samples of primeval America, are the subject of a booklet, "Wilderness," and a sound film in color, "The Wilderness Trail," just released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service.
The booklet calls wilderness an enduring part of the American heritage. It states Forest Service intentions of keeping these irreplaceable lands intact for the use and enjoyment of this and future generations. The Forest Service set aside the Nation's first wilderness area in 1924.
1'he illustrated booklet contains a U.S. map showing 83 wilderness locations on 73 National Forests in 14 States, and lists Forest Service Regional Offices where more
information can be obtained by people wishing to visit wilderness areas.
The 141 minute 16mm movie was filmed in Wyoming on the 383,000 acre Bridger Wilderness on the Bridger National Forest (both named for the famous scout, Jim Bridger). It offers visual proof of the natural beauty and recreational values of wilderness. The movie shows Americans of different professions and from many States traveling by horseback through high wilderness country, enjoying outdoor living in spectacular surroundings and finding relaxation in the solitude of lands bevond civilization.
Copies of the booklet are available from the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 25, D.C. The movie may be obtained on loan by organizations or individuals from the same address.

Oiher new items being considered under the company's research program are laminated and end-edge glued products, as well as refinement of cut parts for industrial users, the stockholders were told by Edens.
The decline in lumber volume and prices which started eighteen months ago continued throughout the year and substantially affected the company's over-all operating results, Edens said.
Expressing satisfaction with the company's paper converting units, both in production facilities and_ P_r9d-uct quality, Edens pointed out, however, "that unsettled labor conditions in California's Imperial Valley during the height of the lettuce season resulted in the loss of considerable volume of corrugated cartons for our Container Division."
The continued soft lumber market coupled with the strikes that beset a prime consumer of the company's paper products contributed to a sharp fall-ofi in the company's-net income for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1961. While net sales and other income increased from the previons year's $23,579,210 to $27,71I,50! i1 the fiscal-y_ear just ended, net income dropped from $1,2I7,190 to $18,804.
The keystone of Southwest's expansion program is the $32.5 miliion paper and pulp mill in the last stages of construction. The kraft mill, Edens told the stockholders, will be in operation in November of this year and the newsprint mill i! scheduled to start up in December.

Pierpont Morgan once said before a money trust commission that in his opinion, character was supreme in the world of money, and money could not butt in. To build up a business on character is putting it on sure foundations. If the heads of a firm are men of character, the business soon gains the respect of all those who trade with it. Always to take the straight line requires constant practice. Unfortunately we are sometimes too busy watching our neighbors at the time we ought to be watching ourselves. This may be a policy of perfection, but it is well to "hitch your wagon to a star," for if we do not always realize our ideals, we are better for having made the effort.
As John Ruskin says, "The entire object of education is not merely to make people do the right thing, but to enjoy the right thing-not merely to be industrious, but to enjoy industry-not merely to become learned, but to love knowl-
edge-not merely to be pure, but to love purity-not merely to be just, but to hunger and thirst after justice."

So he died for his faith. That is fine. More than most of us do. But stay. Can you add to that line
That he lived for it too?
In death he bore witness at last
As a martyr to truth.
Did his life do the same in the past
From the days of his youth?
It is easy to die. Men have died For a wish or a whim-
From bravado, passion or prideWas it harder for him?
But to live: every day to live out All the truth that he dreamt, While his friends met his conduct with doubt, And the world with contempt.
Was it thus that he plodded ahead, Never turning aside?
Then we'll talk of the life that he led: Never mind how he died.

"f attribute my ability to retire with a 9100,000 bank account after thirty years in the sawmill business, to close application to work, the most rigorous rules of economy in business, thorough honesty in all transactions, everlasiingly keeping at my job and always smiling, and to the further fact that an uncle recently died and left me $99,999."
Repetition ond Reputotion
"All life is advertising and one great factor in advertising, as in all teaching, is repetition. Repetition is reputa- tion. Of course, it makes a difference what you repeat. Repetition makes reputation, but foolish repetition makes a reputation for foolishness. Although there is a difference between the mere power of repetition in itself, and the other and greater power of writing attractively and convincingly, mere naked repetition has a power of its own. Advertisers fail if they do not get clearly into their minds the power of repetition alone, without any ornament or paint or varnish or fancy trimming."
Ah, Youth
- "Jimmy," said the teacher, "what is your greatest ambition?"
Jimmy considered thoughtfully.
"I think," he said, "it is to wash behind mother's ears."
Answers To Poul E. Kenl's Questions
Could Poy Ofi In Soles
Paul E. Kent of Paul E. Kent Wholesale Lumber, has embarked on an extensive advertising campaign which is based upon six questions addressed to retail iurn'ber dealers. These questions are as follows: IIow valuable is your time? How many times each day do you answer your phone? IIow much of your tirne do these-calls take? Are they lum- ber offerings in which you are interested? How ofien do you buy the items that are offered ? and, Do many of these calls represent lost time to you ?
Mr. Kent believes that the replies to these questions, made _by _retail lumber dealers, will result in many positive sales leads. If you have any questions on Paul's -questions . or their answers call Paul at HOllywoodT-1I27 or visit him at 6404 Hollywood Boulevard.

Where Women Are Woefully Wonring
The husband was rushing around looking for his hat, when his wife asked him what he wanted it for.
"That fellow Smith, across thet street, just phoned and asked if I would lend him a corkscrew," replied the husband.
"Well, why should you deliver it? Let him come over and get it, or send it over to him by the maid," said his wife.
A look of deep sorrow and dejection spread over his countenance.
"My dear," said he, "that temark of yours sums up in its entirety the weakness of woman's reason. It is because of such reasoning as that that women cannot lead armies, control nations, be President, or take any outstanding part in the affairs of the world."
Fire Test Demonstrotes Superiority Of Heovy Timber Beom
A fire test sponsored by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and the National Wood Promotion Program at Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, has demonstrated conclusively that an unprotected heavy timber glulam beam has more fire resistance than an unprotected rolled structural steel beam.
On June 14 a wood beam and a steel beam were tested simultaneously under identical fire exposure and under eqnal loading conditions. The wood beam was 7 inches wlde, 21 inches deep and was made of nominal two-inch lumber, without chemical treatment, and glued together

with a casein adhesive. The rolled structural steel beam was a 16-inch deep, wide-flange member weighing 40 pounds per linear foot.
The beams were tested over a span of 43 feet. 3 inches. Each beam carried a roof area 6 ieet wide and, 43/r f.eet long and was loaded with bags of sand to provide 30 pounds per, square foot of roof area plus the weight of the beam and roof slab. Both beams 'r,vere designed in accordance with accepted engineering practice. Fire exposure was pro- vided through gas burners and temperatures within-the test chamber were regulated to follow the Standard TimeTemperature Curve recommended by the American Society for Testing Materials.
Within several minutes after the gas burners were lighted the steel beam started to sag and this deformation grad- ually increased until, at the end of 29 minutes, ii trad reached approximately 36 inches. At the end of 30 minutes the steel beam with its roof slab collapsed into the test chamber.
The glulam wood beam showed very small deformation even though exposed to severe fire. At the end of 30 minutes, when the steel beam dropped, the wood beam was still supporting its load and its deformation was only Zfu inches. After removal from the test structure the wood beam was sawed through at about mid-length and showed a depth of char of approximately s/a inch on each side and on the bottom.
Thus, after 30 minutes of severe fire exDosure. there remained undamaged approximately 75 perient of the orig- inal cross-section of the wood beam.

lncreqsed 9oles Put Wood Fibreboord On Round-the-Clock Operction
Increased sales and an excellent reception for Duraflake, a new product, have made it necessary for the Wood Fibreboard Com-
pany, Albany, Oregon, to increase operations to a three-shift basis, according to W. W. Affolter, general sales manager. The firm, which produces "Duraflake," an extremely smooth wood-formed board, began operation late last fall.
It soon became necessary to add a second shift, and on April I, the third shift was installed, to complete the full 'round-theclock operation at Wood Fibreboard. With this three-shift operation, 100 tons, or four boxcars, a day of Duraflake are produced. Wood Fibreboard is served by Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric railroad lines.
"Especially good acieptance for Duraflake has come from the dinette, furniture trade, sink top and kitchen cabinet industries," said Afiolter. "It was to supply these manufacturers that the addition of a third shift was made necessarY."
The $1,750,000 Wood Fibreboard plant at Albany is the first in the United States to use the famous German-developed Bison system. This method has been used successfully in Europe for many years.
The new wood-formed board is produced in three grades-Duraflake Underlayment, Duraflake, and Duraflake Furniture. Among the features which make it superior to other boards are its smoother surface and strong internal bond. This is achieved through the Bison system, which ingeniously forms the boards with the larger wood flakes in the middle, progressively graduating these particles so the "fines" automatically form the top and bottom surfaces.
The unique formation of Duraflake allows close machining of the edges, in the case of beveling, for example. It permits the use of standard screws to attach fittings and hinges, and has excellent screw-holding ability.
Wood Fibreboard Company has one of the largest press sizes in the industry, allowing panels as large as 5 bv 16 feet, which permits a great latitude of sizes. And Duraflake is available in thicknesses of. t/s to 3,216-inches.
For floors, Duraflake Underlayment is acceptable in FHA-insured homes, according to the Federal Housing Administra-
tion's "fJse of Materials Bulletin No. UM-28," dated November 14, 1960. This bulletin sanctions the use of particleboard which conforms to the standards of the National Particleboard Association for floor underlayment. Duraflake Underlayment also is guaranteed in writing by the manufacturer.
"All three grades of Duraflake board," according to Affolter, "are tested and approved by TECO Laboratories of the Timber Engineering Company of Washington, D.C.. an affiliate since 1933 of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. A TECO Laboratory 'quality control' representative conducts daily, in-the-plant testing while Duraflake is being produced, to make sure the products meet the industry and our own rigid standards."
For further information or a free sample of Duraflake, write to Wood Fibreboard Co., P. O. Box 245, Albany, Oregon.
Long-Bell Sporl ighis Sofefy
One phase of the intensive industrial safety program in the plant and woods at International Paper's Gardiner, Oregon, Branch, a special l3-week Supervisors' Safety Training Course, was completed Saturday, June 17 with IP's 39 Gardiner supervisors recognized for their safety proficiency in a banquet at Coos Bay's Timber Inn.
Comparable to a full credit college safety training course, this Supervisors' Safety School has increased safety emphasis at both the Gardiner and Vaughn, Branches of IP, and is lowering accident frequency rates. Gardiner has already shown a 35/o improvement this year over the 1960 accident frequency rating.
Harry G. Kelsey, general manager 'Western Operations Long-Bell Division, was the keynote speaker at the safety banquet. Also on the program was A. J. Myers, general manager of Gardiner Branch; Robert P. Miller, coordinator of safety and personnel for the Long-Bell Division; and Paul Heitmeyer, Gardiner Branch safety engineer, who assisted Miller in the instruction of the Supervisors' Safety Training Course.

SCRTA Aids In Gonviction Of Boorleg Lumber Dealer
Announcement has been made from the offices of Southern California Retail Lumber Association that field representative Erik Flamer was instrumental in securing the first conviction of a trucker bootlegging lumber.
William C. McCarty, alias George E. Frederick, was convicted in Superior Court, San Bernardino County, and sentenced to six months in jail for selling below grade, bootlegstamped and unstamped lumber to an owner-builder.
Alert City and County Building fnspectors in San Bernardino stopped the use of such lumber in the building, and the purchasers filed suit for fraud. Association representative Erik Flamer was called in by Don McClelland, Inspector, on the staff of Ralph Spencer, Chief Building Inspector, City of Bernardino, to work with Detective Willis, on the Bunco Squad of Sherifi's office, County of San Bernardino.
The SCRLA office advises that as far as is known, this is the first conviction of its kind, and may well set a pattern for the future since statewide legislation is being considered making it "a felony to sell or keep for sale" . ._.

New Drying Method Possible?
University of California chemists believe that a new method of drying California redwood called solvent seasoning is economically feasible.
They reported that the process dries redwood sinker stock to 10 per cent moisture content in only eight days compared to the months required to season it by present methods.
Solvent seasoning also removes considerable quantities of the chemical extractives that occasionally cause brown or black staining of redwood during air and kiln drying'
In addition, the process extracts some valuable chemical by-products including tannin that are otherwise unobtainable from redwood.
These findings were made in tests of solvent seasoning of redwood conducted at the U.C. Forest Products Laboratory in Richmond.
The experiments rvere carried out by Dr. Arthur B. Anderson, FPL biochemist; Watson B' Fearing, former chemical engineer at the Laboratory; and Dr. Charles R. Wilke, chairman of the lJniversity's Department of Chemical Engineering.
They explained that in the new process green boards are stacked vertically or horizontally in a vapor-tight extraction chamber.
A hot solvent-acetone heated to 130 degrees Fahrenheit -is circulated in the chamber by means of a centrifugal pump and sprayed through nozzles at the top of the extractor over the lumber at atmospheric pressure.
As the acetone passes over the boards, it removes water and chemical extractives from them.
The acetone is recovered from the chamber by a continuous distillation process, leaving water and extractive chemicals.
After purification, the acetone is recirculated to the extraction chamber and dripped over the lumber again.
When sufficient water has been removed from the boards, the acetone remaining in the lumber is recovered by circulating air heated to 212 degrees Fahrenheit in the chamber with a heater and blower and condensing the vapofs.
Irinally, the boards are given a short steam treatment.
Abouf 80 pounds of extractive chemicals are removed per 1,000 board feet of redwood with the process' '
The chemists announced that they have drawn plans for a commercial solvent seasoning chamber 284 f eet in length, 16 feet in height, and eight feet in width.
Green lumb"er would be cont'eyed through the unit continuously at the rate of one foot per hour, they said. -.
The icientists estimated that the chamber would be capable of drying 16,000 board feet of 4-by-4 heavy redwood sinker stock per 24 hours.
They are conduciing their study of solveqt -seasoning of redwoocl with the aid-of grants irom the California Redwood Association.

U.5. Plywood ftlqkes Shorp TV Purchqse
With millions invested in the Pacific Northwest, United States Plywood made its 196l bow on TV the evening of July 4 in Portland, Oregon-and wound up with a bonus.
It was a one-shot, but the giant firm feels it couldn't have done better.
Each year, in Albany, 40 miles out of Portland, the three-day World's Championship Timber Carnival, culminating July 4, draws timberland's finest to the s,pot to prove their vigor as modern-day Paul Bunyans. Thousands of visitors come from near and far to witness the chopping, sawing and birling events sponsored by the local Junior Chamber of Commerce.

KGW-TV in Portland produced a special, one-hour telecast of the event in color on the final evening and invited U.S. Plywood to sponsor.
The firm that through consumer book product advertising has made the name Weldwood famous in decorative paneling circles, bought the idea and wisely suggested institutional commercials to Kenyon & Eckhardt, the company's agency. Marshall R. Leeper, USP west coast vice president, opened and closed the show live.
The bonus? After the show, the company has at its disposal for educational showings throughout the country an hour-long, colorfilm record of timberland's most exciting event, thus stretching its audience-dollars far beyond the KGW viewing area.

Duroble Plywood R.eopens Colpello Mill
Durable Plywood Sales Company salesmanager, Rolf Stolesen, announced the reopening of the company's Calpella plant last month. The Calpella plant, which has a capacity of 4,000,000 sq. ft. per month, is running on vetreers from Dinsmore Veneer Company, owned and operated by the principals of Durable Plywood.
According tb Stolesen, the "specialty of the house" at Calpella will be 3/s" cross grain sheathing, a panel used primarily for industrial roofing. "This panel .is growing in stature," Stolesen notes, "as builders have become aware of the tremendous savings involved through the outright elimination of 5O/o of their blocking costs."
Noting that Durable is about to enter into an extensive promotional program to educate users on the advantages of cross grain sheathing, Stolesen disclosed th{ a survey of the polential for thJ panel in the West indicated that the trse ol %" 8'x4' crosJ grain panels could be expanded four-fold.
There's an estimated 45 million acres of Lodgepole Pine in U.S. and Canada.

Also available in standard 8" clapboards, 72'6" long with a rl" butt, the new J-M products are factory-finished with a smooth, durable, fire-cured vinyl finish that will not peel, crack or chip and is said to be superior to industry standard srirfaces.
Reseqrch Group Estqblished
A pioneering research group-the first of its kind in the U.S. Forest Service-has been set up to do basic research in forest mensuration, the science of measuring and predicting timber volume and growth.
The project, which is national in scope, will be supervised by Lewis R. Grosenbaugh and headquartered at the Pacific Southwest F'orest and Range Experiment Station in Berkeley, California. Formation of the group was announced todav bv Dr. Keith Arnold. director of the Forest Service's Ber-keley station.
Grosenbaugh has been promoted and will trar-rsfer to Berkeley early in June from the Southern Forest Experiment Station in New Orleans, where his work has won world-wide recognition for original contributions in forest management and inventory methods.
"This pioneering research unit, like others in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is an attempt to advance the frontiers of knowledge by putting an outstanding scientist to work on basic studies of his own choice," Dr. Arnold said.

"Grosenbaugh's work will deal with four general fields: (1) basic principles of tree measurement, (2) analysis of forest stand conditions, (3) prediction of timber growth and yield, and (4) the mathematics of forest management. Better knowledge in these fields is fundamental to future progress in both the business and the science of timber oroduction."

Under this agireement, Flintkote was licensed by Johns-Manville to make asbestoscement pipe long marketed bv J-M under the trade name "Transite."
Products made by Flintkote will be merchandised through its Orangeburg Manufacturing Divisiorr, a leading maker of fiber and
plastic pipe and conduit acquired by Flintkote in November, 1958, according to Mr. Harvey.
The 186,000 square-foot facility will have a 46,000-ton annual capacity. Pipe to be produced will range from two inches throueh 16 inches in diameter. When in full operition, approximately 150 workers will be employed.
The one-story plant will have a spray- applied Flintkote Monoform roof over a Flintkote Insulrock slab deck. Located on a i00-acre site, the plant will be one mile south of the City of Ravenna on U.S. Highway 44. It will have railroad as well as trucking facilities.
New Method of Termite Control
A new method of termite control is now available from Mariae Associates.
Called the X-TERIvII-NAIL, the unit consists of a nail-like cartridge containing calcium Arsenate, which is driven into strategic locations throughout wood structures. An ordinary nail is then driven through the cartridge, impregnating the area around the nail.
Key f eatures of this new device are its low cost and ease of application. For example, on new construction, carpenters merely drive X-TERMI-NAILS along with regular nails.
Primarily designed for new buildings, XTERMI-NAILS can be used on older houses. utility poles, farm wooden fences. or anv other construction subject to termite irifestation.
Because the nail unit is completely sealed, it is safe to handle and use. Further information on the X-TERMI-NAIL method aopears in bulletin No. 156 available from

Five loop Tree Forms New Symbol for Notionol Forests
Five loops in the shape of a tree form the central element of a new sym- bol for the National Forests.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the five loops signify ttie five resources of the National pels5fswater, wood, wildlife, forage, and recreation. A continuous line connecting the_m symbolizes the interdependencE and interrelationship of the- five resources. The symbol, Forest Service o.fficials said, is a means of explaining the management principle applied on the National Forists is dir'ected lv C-olgress under the Multiple Use Ait of June 1960.
The design is based on an ancient fymbol for wood. The original symbol had three circles on top of1 tree irunk. Forest Service has modified the circles into five connected loops to form a

multiple-use tree.
This symbol is the first one espe- cially designed for the National Forests. It's one that will be seen often in the months ahead on maps, publications, and posters.
The shield with the pine tree in the center will still mark National Forest entrances. The shield is the symbol of the Forest Service-its work in National Forest administration, cooperation with States and private land owners, and forestry research. The new symbol, with its roots in the past, represents the National Forests as lands of many uses managed for the continuing benefit of all Americans, officials said.
