Although West Coast lumber production for July u'as but little over that of June, the four weeks succeeding the July 4 shutdown period have more than offset the loss of production in the holiday week. Production for the month was further affected by the general taking of the week's vacation with pay accorded lumber industry employees in the last labor agreement negotiated.
Production for the u'eek ended August 2 total 185 mil-
lion feet, an excess of 26 million feet, or 16l per cent, over the estimated normal machine capacity of the industry. This is a rate of production not exceeded for 11 years. It represents unlimited effort by the industry to bring into play every resource and facility availabe to comply with urgent requests from the Government to increase the supply of defense lumber.

Senator Tom Connally stated the facts about our defense program and its purpose and necessity, in the following eloquent words: "In the face of the arrogant decrees of the dictators that democracy will be destroyed wherever the armies of Hitler and Mussolini can march, wherever their navies can float, and wherever their swarrning fleets of the sky can fly, the United States and Americans have determined that we shall give of our substance and of our arms and of our equipment and of our cannon and of our machinery of war, to the brave nations, the brave peoples, who, scorning the demands of the dictators, dare to fight for their lives and the life of the democracy of the world."
*:F*
We are accustomed to thinking of defense materials in terms of war materials, and of training c:rmps, etc. But, as the production of defense materials increase there arises a tremendous need for another very vital but more prosaic commodity made of wood-BOXES. yes sir-boxes. Boxes and millions of them for packing, and storing and shipping these millions of war things that the factories and mills of the nation are turning out. Right now wooden boxing materials are in tremendous demand, and those who make them are describing rapid circles in their efforts to furnish defense needs.
*:f*
Seems like old times to hear and read about ..car shortage." A generation ago-and less-we had a car shortage every fall, when the nation's crops began to move to market. For many years car shortage has been unknown. But it has come back this year. The railroads, straining their best efforts to meet the defense transportation situation, are calling upon the shippers of the country to load the freight cars full and pile them high, in order that every foot of space and every pound of tonnage may do its bit in the present great job of transportation.
The railroads comprise one more great industry that the defense program is lifting high out of the slough of poor business. And sadly did they need this tide of prosperity. Not even the long suffering lumber industry needed a break more than our rail transportation systems.
Reading about tfre fayilg ", a* wooden keels for ten wooden \ilar vessels in a single day in a GuIf shipyard furnishes splendid evidence of the way the great shipbuilding progr:rm is being prosecuted. In this particular case these vessels are being built by the sons of a former shipbuilder who did splendid work building wooden ships at that same spot during the first World War.
There has been a.lk i"-a; *rr-r recently of the call that has been made upon the lurnber industry to furnish wood to replace vitally needed metals for a large variety of uses. Not only is this true today, but the lumber folks are Iikewise scratching their heads trnng to find wood to substitute for other items of wood that the defense demand has made hard to get. Take Southern hardwoods. Today there are numerous items that have been in such demand that they are almost unobtainable. So the lumber folks are using their ingenuity to produce the same items in other less popular species, to replace the stuff that is so hard to get. There is a world of that sort of thing going on.
*d.*
One Southern hardwood manufacturer, trying to tell how very scarce some items of hardwood lumber are, said that a certain item and species in the number two grade had become so very popular and so much in demand that he was figuring on slipping in number one stuff in the number two order, whenever he could do so without the customer catching him at it. Ife was thinking about the old real estate story where the seller sold a man a hundred acres of land, and then slipped him another hundred acres free when he wasn't looking.
tt 4. X.
Generally, when discussing the defense lumber demand, we think of the great quantities of softwoods that have been and are being used for the huge army camps, housing projects, etc. But hardwoods, all sorts of hardwoods, have also
been called into play by the defense progr:rm, making most of the standard items of commercial hardwoods very popular indeed. And stocks are very low, as 3 rul€, especially in the South, where the timber stands in bottom lands, and bad weather interferes sadly with lumber production.
Weyerhaeuser made a splendid presentation of the work the lumber industry is doing in the defense program, in a page advertisement that appeared recently in The Saturday Evening Post, Time, Business Week, and other publications, as well as the trade press. Part of the Weyerhaeuser statement is as follows: "All America reads and works and asks about defense? Where are the materials coming from? IIow much? How fast? About lumber this can be recorded -Lumber is doing a tremendous job both for defense and domestic needs, and doing it quickly, efficiently and economically. With swiftly expanding production, the men of the lumber industry delivered ovef, two billion feet of lumber to 350,0fi) carpenters working on the biggest housing project of modern times---cantonments for a million, two hundred thousand soldiers. At the same time, additional lumber was provided for housing half a million workers in defense.
"Lumber is serving "r, IruJrr,tl function in nearly every industry. It cradles the ships being built in the shipyards. Since the start of the war, the Royal Air Force of Britain has been maintained largely by American lumber made into laminated propellers, struts, and spars. Timbers are being produced for pontoons that can take the shock and carry the load of heavy tanks charging at high speeds. Lumber is so adaptable that it is shouldering new jobs and releasing other materials for defense needs. The men of the lumber industry, in addition to producing a wide variety of forest products for defense, supplied a more than normal demand for lumber for use in shop and factory, and for the construction and remodeling of homes and farm buildings. Wherever men live and work, you'll find forest products helping them in their jobs and providing better homes, for lumber is America's most available adaptable and economical building material."
*:N.*
Weyerhaeuser selected a splendid time for sending these true and impressive thoughts concerning the lumber industry and its grand defense efforts, to the American public. It was a wise and highly commendable thing to do, and a definite service to the lumber industry in general.

Washington, Arg. 2.-Urban home financing rose well above the two billion dollar mark in the United States during the first six months ol 1941, it was announced today by economists of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
There were 778,731 home mortgages recorded.on urban property aggregating $2,2I7,865,OW during the first half of the year by all types of mortgage lenders. This was 13 per cent in number and, 77.5 per cent in amount above urban home financing in the same period of 1940 when there were 689,338 mortgages amounting to $1,886,998,000.
Savings and loan associations, the largest group of home mortgage lenders in the country, accounted for approximately one-third of this urban home financing with 263,325 mortgages amounting to $707,517,W during the first half of the present year as compared with 238,672 mortgages amounting to $598,766,000 in the first half of. 194O. This increase for savings and loan associations equaled 10 per cent in number and 18 per cent in amount.
Banks and trust companies formed the next largest group in the amount of mortgages recorded but trailed the total number made by individuals who lend money for such purposes. Banks and trust companies recorded 169,717 mortgages aggregating $552,735,000 in the first half ol l94l while individuals reported 190,549 mortgages amounting to $368,903,000.
Other groups were: insurance companies, 37,355 mortgages amounting to $184,569,m0; mutual savings banks, 25,155 mortgages valued at $95,705,000; and the varied group called "others," meaning those not classified in any other group s, 92,630 mortgages amounting to $308,436,000.
This urban home financing includes all non-farm mortgage recordings up to $20,000 each in value reported by counties throughout the nation and the compilation was made by the Board's Division of Research and Statistics.
Contracts were awarded for approximately 18,000,000 feet of lumber to manufacturers and wholesalers at the lumber auction held in San Francisco on July 24 and 25. The lum_ ber was purchased for the United States Army. Of the total, 10,@0,000 feet was for shipment to Hawaii, 5,000000 feet for shipment to Salt Lake City, 1,000,000 feet to San Luis Obispo and smaller amounts to Oakland. Benicia and Angel Island.
At another lumber auction held in Portland July D and, 30, a total of 13,000,000 feet was contracted for, with delivery dates ranging from 10 to 45 days. This lumber goes to army cantonments and engineers projects in the west and south and to island air bases at Trinidad and Hawaii.
R. V. English of the procurement division of the quartermaster general's office conducted both auctions.

On a Sunday a certain "cullud" Preacher, discovered that the senior deacon had failed to provide the wine for the communion service. It was the proverbial eleventh hour before this dramatic discovery was made, and then there was a hurried conference with heads close together in the back of the church. Finally they grasped at the offer of an old sister who lived close by the church, to bring over some of her home made wine. She brought it over. None of them had any idea what kind of wine it

The sixth annual meeting of the National Association of Woodwork Jobbers will be held at Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, September 23 and 24.
Francis A. Toste, manager of the Southern California office of Rockport Redwood Co. and Rounds Trading Co. at Wilmington, Calif., known to his many friends as "Pete," has a background that was an excellent preparation for his present business.
His choice of the lumber business as a career was probably influenced by the fact that his grandfather was a logging operator and his father was in the logging business in Minnesota in his younger days and later operated a retail lumber yard in North Dakota.
Pete was born in Wimbledon, North Dakota. He attended high school there and entered the University of Montana in 1925, graduating in Forestry in the Class of '29.
During his college course he worked in spare time in the sawmill of Polleys Lumber Co., Missoula, Mont. He spent the first two summers in the U. S. Forest Service and the last two summer vacations working at the Polleys mill. Following his graduation he worked for one year with this concern, his experience including various jobs in the sawmill and later in the company's retail yard.
He came to California in 1932. His first job was with E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Los Angeles. In his four years with this company he put in the first six months in the yard and worked the remainder of the time in the office in the wholesale department. Then he was with Coos Bay Lumber Co., Los Angeles for a year and was a salesman for a year with Lawrence-Philips Lumber Co., Los Angeles, followed by a year as salesman with MacDonald & Harrington, Los Angeles. Two years ago he became associated with Rockport Redwood Co. and Rounds Trading Co.
Mr. Toste was married to Miss Myrtle Hollingsworth in Los Angeles in 1936. They make their home in Long Beach.
Pete's favorite hobbies are hunting and fishing when he has the time. When in school he was interested in music and had an orchestra of his own for part of that period.
Mullin Lumber Company, Los Angeles, is supplying the lumber f.or 125 hornes to be built by the Inglewood Properties, Inc., at Del Aire, near Mines Field, Los Angeles. The order will total about 1,000,000 feet.

Washington, D. C.-Two years ago there were only 83 active shipways of 30Gfoot length or greater on our three salt water coasts. Today there are 139 active ways with 12 more being completed and 144 in project.
This enormous and phenomenally rapid shipyard expansion, an imperative factor in the Battle of Defense, has taxed the heavy construction industry and its material supply sources to the utmost. In this pinch, the lumber industry has come to bat with a well-nigh limitless supply of its basic material and improved methods of prefabricated construction, and performed like its legendarv hero, Paul Bunyan.
For many years standard engineering practice has been to execute long-span trusses, such as those in mold lofts, assembly shops, and other great shipyard structures, in steel. Because of the extraordinary and urgent demand on steel for purposes which wood cannot serve, the speed and efficiency that use of prefabricated timber as an engineering material contributes to shipyard construction is attracting national attention.
Three interesting, leaflets, published by the Timber Engineering Company, deal with this all-important phase of the Defense program. Among the many dramatic stories they tell is that of the erection of 14 roof trusses on the new mold loft of the California Shipbuilding Company, Los Angeles, in 5f hours of working time. These 116'7' trusses, jointed with split ring connectors and shear plates, were completely prefabricated of timber and placed in position as units.
Prefabricated timber construction produced the roof' structure of the l7O'x4W plate shop of the Todd-California Shipbuilding Corporation at Richmond, California, one day ahead of schedule, winning the contractors a bonus. This giant structure was originally designed for steel construction, traditional for these buildings, but the shiptuilders found themselves caught in a bottleneck when steel fabricators were unable to make delivery.
Another record-bending achievement, in which prefabricated roof trusses played a vital part, was the erection of a two-story mold loft at Portland for the Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation in 32 hours of working time four 8-hour shifts of workmen. At 3:30 p.m., Thursday, March
13th, the first 13Gfoot, bowstring foof truss was placed in position. By 4:30 p.m., Monday, March l7th, all twelve trusses were in place, and roofing and siding were being put on.
Still another great shipyard job speeded by prefabricated timber construction was the new mold loft of the Willamette Iron & Steel Corporation, Portland, Oregon. The 21 Arch-Teco roof trusses were framed, assembled, and delivered complete in six working days after receipt of final lumber delivery. Each is an 8O-foot span'
Two buildings at the Seattle Shipyard of the SeattleTacoma Shipbuilding Corporation were erected in a shade over b month with prefabricated timber trusses. The assembly shop required twenty 8S-foot bowstring trusses and the mold loft roof is supported by twelve l3Gfoot bowstring trusses. Work on the assembly shop started on November 7th, at which time grading and hydraulic fill had not been completed, placing an added handicap on construction. That job was completed November 29th and the mold loft, December 7th.
All trusses, both Howe and Summerbell, for the Tacoma Shipyard of the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corporation were prefabricated with split ring connectors in the joints. The mold loft has twelve 130-foot Summerbell trusses and there are 78 other Summerbell and Howe trusses with spans of 50 feet or greater.
Associated Shipbuilders used fifteen 8o-foot, prefabricated timber trusses in its mold loft.
And prefabricated timber has speeded the completion of many other large, urgently needed shipyard expansion jobs, such as: Commercial Iron Works, Portland; the Port of Portland Drydock; Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Company; Atherton Construction Company, Seattle ; North Carolina Shipbuilding Company, Wilmington, N.C.; and the yards at Orange, Texas; Tampa, Florida; Charleston, S. C.; Norfolk, Virginia, and Brooklyn, New York.

Washington, Aug. 9-A warning that homes for defense workers must be built at once-that the Government will have to take over the job with public funds if private industry does not meet the emergency-was issued today by
John H. Fahey, Chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
"The demand'exists today and it will increase tornorrow -and a few months from now may be too late to get building programs under wayi' declared Mr. Fahey in calling for increased cooperation of all private enterprise to "lift the load off the shoulder of Government agencies and do its own job."
"A reasonable supply of all materials for residential construction is available for defense housing. Labor can be obtained now. A shortage in both labor and materials is likely if there is an unnecessary delay."
Defense workers have been crowded into the industrial centers and into smaller communities where defense activities have created housing problems out of all proportion to their previous size, Mr. Fahey pointed out, and no ordinary building program can take care of the situation.
"The Government wants private industry to finance three housing units for every one it constructs with public funds," said Mr. Fahey. "But if private enterprise does not do the job, the Government lvill have to do it. Defense workers must have decent places to live, at a price within their means."
Citing the fact that more than $660,000,000 has been loaned by savings and loan associations of the Federal Home Loan System in defense localities where a housing shortage exists, and have financed at least 100,000 newly built housing units in such areas over an ll-month period, Mr. Fahey said that private enterprise in many districts has been more than equal to its task. At the same time, he said, other districts have lagged.
The presidents of the 12 regional Federal llome Loan Banks were called to a conference at Washington last week, according to Mr. Fahey, and conferred with representatives of the Defense Housing Coordinator. They returned to their districts prepared to urge institutions affiliated with their banks to still greater activity in defense housing.
"Defense workers need low-cost homes," said Mr. Fahey. "Houses costing $3,000 to $4,000, or even less, are needed most. Those costing more than $5,000 or $6,000 are not meeting the problem.
"Every home erected by private industry takes some of the burden off Government agencies and permits the use of Government funds in other defense activities. Of course,
All the fields are barren, All the flowers are dead, There's naught but wild winds crying And storm wrack overhead. But over shell marked roadways And through each trampled vale, Shadowy forms are marching Their faces grim and pale.
With hands and bodies shackled
But minds still brave and free. They come from every conquered land, The armies of the V. In dreams, beloved banners Still float before them there And anthems of'the homeland Are whispered as in prayer.
We cannot see them clearly, Nor hear their measured tread, They march in grim faced silence By dreams of Freedom led; And "Victory !" is the watchword, And, "Victory !" They cry, "Now break the chain by tyrants forged, Our Freedom shall not die !"
March on, march on in silence, Await the word, the hour, When Liberty shall rise again And men shall know its power. March on, march on, resistless As strong tides of the sea, We too are of your armyt Your armies of the V.
-A. Merriam Conner.private institutions entrusted with the savings of the public cannot finance dwellings that are not justified economically. But there is a legitimate demand for permanent homes in defense areas which private industry can safely finance. The Government can take care of the doubtful areas through temporary housing."
Mr. Fahey pointed out that building activity will be curtailed in northern areas when rvinter sets in and that the threatened shortage in building materials is likely to be nation-wide before that time.
dustry is to do the job the Government has reserved to it
"Now is the time to build," he concluded, "if private inas its right and privilege."

For bats and boosts and bumble bees: For shorter hours and longer pay For fewer thistles in our hay; For better grub and bigger pies, For two more moons to light the skies; And let the wolves of war be loosed

What is the history of the game of golf?
No man knoweth. It appears, however, that they played it back in Bible days, because we find Solomon saying in the Old Testament: "A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.',
And they're doing it still. History tells us that in t45Z golf had taken such a hold in Scotland that people were forbidden to play it because it was interfering with the needed practice of archery, the national method of defense.
The oldest golf course and club on earth is that of Blackheath, near London, England, and dates from 160g.
The thing that numbs the heart is this: That men cannot devise, Sorne scheme of life to banish fear, That lurks in most men's eyes.
Fear of the lack of shelter, food, And fire for winter's cold, Fear of their children's lacldng these, This in a world so old.
-James Norman Hall.The place to take the test of a man is not the forum or the field, not the market place or the amen corner, but at his own fireside. There he lays aside his mask and you may judge whether he be imp or angel, king or cur, hero or humbug. I care not what the world says of him, whether it crown him with bays or pelt him with bad eggs; I care never a copper what his reputation or religion may be; if his babes dread his homecoming and his better half has to swallow her heart every time she has to ask him for a five dollar bill, he's a fraud of the first water, even though he prays night and morn until he's black in the face, and howls hallelujah till he shakes the eternal hills. But, if his children rush to the front gate to meet him, and love's own sunshine illumines the face of his wife when she hears his footstep, you may take it for granted that he's true gold, for his home's a heaverl and the humbug never gets that close to the great white throne of God. f can forgive much in that fellow mortal who would rather make men swear than women weep; who would rather have the hate of the whole he-world than the contempt of his wife-who would rather call anger to the eyes of a King, than fear to the face of a child.-Wm. Cowper Brann.

Washington, Aug. 9-It cost 10 per cent more to build an average six-room house in June than it did in June last year, it was reported by economists of the Federal llome Loan Bank Board.
Despite this jump in costs-varying, of course, throughout the country-the index on the volume of residential construction was 50 per cent higher in June this year than in June of 1940, and 16 per cent higher in June than in May this year.
Using the average month of the years 1935-39 for a base of 10O for its construction cost index, the Board's Division of Research and Statistics placed the index at tL2.4 in June, and hOZJ in June 1940. The index in May was 111.6, making the rise from May to June 0'7 per cent.
The rise in the cost of labor in constructing the standard six-room house upon which the Bank Board bases its computations was nearly double that for building materials in the 12 months since June last year' Building material prices increased 7.8 per cent while labor costs jumped 14.6 per cent.
The residential construction index in June was 202'l compared with 174 in May and 134.8 in June, 194O.

Washington, July ?l-John T. Flynn, prominent columnist, last week pointed to the prefabricated house as the probable primer of the economic pump when and if industrial activity recedes following the defense efiort.
In offering this prediction, Mr. Flynn says that the development of the prefabricated house could create a new industry, the growth of which might have the same efiect on American life as the development of the automobile. Mr. Flynn adds that, with proper management, the establishment of a great, prefabricated residential industry can be the savior of our living standards.
These observations will re-emphasize questions already in the minds of lumbermen who have been speculating on the probable position of the forest industries should prefabrication produ.ce a revolution in America,s home building habits.
Inability to answer this question is one of the reasons which has prompted leading lumbermen to so strongly urge immediate action on the collective Public Relations program initiated by American Forest Products Industries, fnc.
An indication of the depth to which thinking lumbermen fcel the challenge of the future, is illustrated by remarks apropos of the Public Relations effort, received recently at American Forest Products fndustries headquarters in Washington. Some of them were:
J. W. Watzek, Jr.-"I know of no better investment that the lumber industry can make than to tell the public, vigorously and honestly, the story of how ,conservation of our forests is being obtained by more complete utilization, and by our constantly expanding efforts to protect and regrow them."
Corydon Wagner-"I am gratified to realize that the lumber industry has at last learned an important fact which more promotionally minded industries have been learning during the past ten years: That the public feels it has a right to know what is going on inside American industry. Industry these days is Everybody's Business. If we do not give the public the right story, someone will go out of the way to give them the wrong one. The people will be glad to know the inside story of cropping timber, for example. It is evidence of an enlightened age in which we have a very definite part. I will back the public information program to the limit-I do not know of anything more important in the industry at this time."
C. C. Sheppard-"The lumber industry has accepted
its responsibility to preserve the forests as a continuing natural resource. It is not only our privilege but our duty and obligation to let the public know this fact-we should take a tip from many another industry, and tell it to the public in detail. The day is past when an industry can function in its own field and keep quiet about it. The people want to know everything about every industry-and if the industry does not take the trouble to do the telling itself, somebody else tells his side of the story, and it is usually pretty far from the truth. That is what has happened to the lumber industry."
G. F. Jewe11-"\ rs are working progressively to make timber a crop-a continuing national resource-and not a mine to be worked and forgotten. The old theory of cut out and get out has served its day and served it well. We have now reached a point where farming our forests is dawning. But the people don't know it. We should tell them. And the Public Information program will do it.,' Walter Neils"There is much misinformation about the lumber industry knocking around as in any other American industry. And, frankly, I believe it is our own fault. For a good many years we have had a good story to tell, and we have not told it. Our competitors have not been'so modest. Every time an industry finds that it can create a substitute for wood, the public knows about itknows about the substitute; knows about the industry, and is carefully instructed on evils of the lumber industry which do not exist in any way, shape or form. I think lumbermen g'enerally will stand IOOTo behind the NLMA campaign."
J. D. Tennznl-"[1 seems to me the lumber industry has been already too long without an educational program. Few industries in America have progressed as far, in the matter of social responsibility, as lumbering. yet to read the current magazines and newspapers, one would think that our industry is still living in the 19th century, that we still have free timber, and that our industry is governed by a first-come-first-served philosophy. Gentlemen, we have a big job to do. The quicker we do it, the better !,,

Portland, Oregon, July 15-In a statement issued here by the Western Pine Association, an estimate is given of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western Pine region {or the third quarter of 1941. The following is the statement in full:
Although the current demand for Western Pine lumber is at record levels for our industry, with the problem of the mills today largely one of taking care of customers' needs in an orderly manner and at the same time maintaining the usual high quality and service standards, it is essential that the members of the industry appreciate fully the situation which must be met in the immediate future. We have the definite obligation to meet all National Defense requirements and, so far as possible, those of our regular customers. Because of this, the forecast of Third Quarter 'Western Pine lumber consumption is of vital importance.
From the figures now available, it is indicated that shipments from the Western Pine region during the second quarter of the year will approximate 1531 million feet, or about 2l percent above those for the same l94O period. This is a new record for second quarter volume, exceeding any year in the industry's history. Likewise, for the first six months of the year, shipments reached a new peak of. 2730 million feet, or 23 percent above the first half of 1940.
With the settlement of most labor disturbances, general business expansion is again moving forward. Direct government purchases and defense stimulated demand indicate a sustained market for lumber. Defense housing is proceeding at a rapid rate and the Administration has requested from Congress additional appropriations for this purpose. Residential building has shown intense activity during the second quarter and observers predict that home construction during the next few months will exceed the high levels of April and May. The June report of the Lumber Survey Sub-Committee, U. S. Department of Commerce, states it is expected that lumber requirements attributed directly to National Defense, including civilian housing, will total between 8 and 9 billion feet within the next two years and that the factors which have affected the unusual demand for lumber.. "r" ,r"* strongly evident and may be expected to continue.
Based on such general predictions and on all other available information concerning the use of our products, it is now expected that during the third quarter of 1941 the consumption (shipments) of Western Pine lumber will be about 1800 million feet. This 'r,r,ould mean a volume of shipments 255 million feet greater than the 1545 million feet shipped in the third quarter of 1940, and l7.S per cent more than the second quarter shipments of this year. Such a forecast of this record volume of shipments is based on the apparent demand for our products and might be adversely affected by factors beyond the industry,s control such as weather conditions, transportation facilities, labor difficulties, and possible governmental restrictions.

The hallway between the two offices at the rear of the store leads to the storeroom. The wainscoting in the hallway is natural Knotty Pine with ivory colored Celotex plank on the walls. The storeroom is 20x26 feet and here all surplus stocks of building materials are carried.
There are two attractive bay windows in the front of the store ancl these are used to display some of the products that are carried in stock. In front of these windows are flower beds curbed with split Redwood rails. There is a brick walk in front of the store, the steps are made of brick, and potted plants are set at each side of the entrance.
Fluorescent lighting is used throughout.
The old office, just across the driveway, is being used as a warehouse, and behind this is the double-deck shed for finished lumber. Rough lumber and shingles are stored in the yard, and the mill and cement shed are at the rear. The exteriors of all the buildings are painted white.
The gateway at the main entrance is made to represent a fence, and in the center of the driveway is a large section of a Redwood log mounted on a cement block.
V. A. Van Matre and L. W. Manning, the owners of this progressive retail lumber firm, are widely known in lumber and building circles in Southern California. They established the business about five years ago.

-Washington, August 2.-Recognizing that the problem of -priorities. is becoming more complicated daily, and that priorities will have a continually increasing effect on log- ging and sawmill operations, th-e National Lumber Manifacturers Association has established a special staff fo1 handling !u4ber's representation on priority matters be- fore the Priorities Division of the dffice of Production Management, and as a means of providing information and service to loggers and manufacturers.
The Association has been fortunate in securing from the Southern Cypress Association loan of the servJces of its secretary-manager, B. R. Ellis, who will be concerned exclusively, {or the next several months, in helping to unravel for the benefit of the industry, the complicated priorities procedure.
Such a service can be extremely valuable to lumber manufacturers in view of daily changes and new rulings affecting priority rulings. Fewperson-s-even those on tf,e staff of the Priorities Division-are familiar with all the daily changes and new routine.
Priorities affect lumber operations in two ways:
(1) Sequence of shipment of defense orders on the mill books; and
(2) The procurement by loggers and manufacturers of e_quipment and supplies necessary to maintain production.
Almost every lumber manufacturer is engaged in some sort of production for defense. Orders may be from de* fense contractors, the Government itself, or through wholesalers and industrial users who in turn will re-direct the material into defense channels. Such defense orders may c^ar-ry ratings in the form of Preference Rating Certificatei. Officially, no lumber order on the books of -a mill has a preference rating unless it is accompanied by a Preference Rating Certificate. Verbal or written information pur- porting to give-a certain order a defense standing canhot, unless substantiated by a Certificate or a photosiat, or in some ca-ses a copy of a Certificate, be considered as requiring preferential treatment of the order.
Aside from the importance to the miil of shipping orders with priority ratings in their correct sequence,--it is in their own interest for mills to keep careful records of defense material being handled, in order to facilitate acquisition of mill supplies and equipment by being able to show on what defense jobs the mill is rvorking. Such records, whenever possible, should include the name or description of the project, the Government contract number, the name of the contractor, and, if the lumber was furnished on a priority basis, the number, date and rating of the Priorities Certificate which applies to it and whetheithe priority applied to the lumber furnished.
The manufacturer will assist himself in dealing with the Priorities Division on supplies, if he u'ill also try to secure and keep a record of ultimate defense use of any lumber sold to wholesalers or industrial users.
Priorities ratings, where they may have been issued, covering lumber, apply only to the delivery of the lumber already ordered. Such ratings do not apply to orders until accepted. Priorities on lumber orders should be classified according to their rating. There are two general classifications, or groups of ratings, at present:
"A" ratings indicate that an order is for national defense work.
"B" ratings indicate that an order is for urgent civilian needs.
",,A,A" is the highest rating which can be given anv order and is used onl| for emeilencies. The iighest regular rating is. "A-l-a" and other t'A-l" ratings down to "A--l-j" are provided, followed by a lower series of ratings labetCd "A-2" to "A-10". "$" ratings grade from .'B-1" to ,,B-8."
-In- their application to lumber, priority ratings may be divided into two general classifications:
Blanket Ratings-apply to all the materials needed by any given contractor, company or industrialist engaged in a certain type of defense work. A Blanket Rating may or may not specifically apply to lumber. It may be of the umbrella type, rvhich is intended to glve the purchaser preference shipment on any kind of supplies or materials which he needs for the firrtherance of his Government contracts. The lumber mill receiving a copy of a blanket certificate should determine whether it applies to lumber specifically.
Individual Ratings-are granted on individual appli- cation for an individual order. This rating gives no preference to its holder for anything othei than one particular shipment or one particular order covered specifically in the rating certificate.
There is a special form of blanket rating now being granted for specific projects rather than specific orders, and called a "Project Rating." Sometimes such special Project Ratings apply only to items on the "criticalr' list (lumber is not a critical list item) or to other specifically mentioned materials. A Project Rating order limited to critical list items which does not specifically cover lumber cannot be applied by its holder to lumber.- On the other hand, a Project Rating may be so written as to apply to every item needed to expedite a given project-often ionstruction. In this case lumber would automaticallv be included.
Project Ratings in general have been developed to give extra speed to some particular defense ,plant, shipyard, or other undertaking which needs to be concluded on a specified date.
Of great immediate interest to most loggers and mill men, is a second classification of priorities, which directly affects lumber operations-priorities which apply to supplies and equipment needed to maintain milf operations and which must be secured by the mills for their own use,
The NLMA priorities staff has been particularly concerned with this branch of priorities investigation in that an even flow of equipment is essential to the maintenance of lumber production at full capacity.
On recommendation of the executive committee of the Lumber and Timber Products Defense Committee, NLMA has already made an application for a general Blanket Preference Rating covering sawmill and logging materials and equipment for all operators engaged in the production of lumber for national defense. This rating is not expected to be available for several weeks, but every effort is being made to hasten its issuance.
Aside from the securing of a blanket priority for sawmill equipment, there are two other methods open for the acquisition of supplies and equipment:

1. General application must be made on Priorities Division Form PD-1, copies of which may be obtained through regional lumber manufacturers associations or through the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches. In filling in such forms, l.umbermen should be particularly careful to list as completely as possible all defense orders on which they are working, giving wherever possible Government contract numbers, priority ratings, and the ultimate destination or project for which the material is intended. Care should be exercised by mills to include full information on lumber intended for defense work, which passed through wholesale or industrial agencies. Mills able to show a large volume of defense work through direct enumeration of these projects, will find the task of securing a rating for needed equipment and supplies a much easier one.
2. Project ratings may sometimes be extended straight down the line to every item needed to produce materials covered by the rating. This means that a contractor who holds a project rating may permit suppliers of materials he needs, to use his project rating to secure materials they in turn need. Such extensions are possible only when they cover supplies or equipment needed to assist in completion of the specific project.
In other words, the special project rating for a shipyard, for example, might be used to acquire a tractor needed by a lumber manufacturer to get out timbers to build this specific shipyard.
Certain types of supplies, such as critical list steel alloys, have a special priorities procedure. Ordinarily, lumber manufacturers buy items containing these elements through supply houses. If a mill has diffrculties with suppliers of such items, Form PD-32 should be filled out.

"Today's small home is really fit for a king," says Bernard B. Barber, chairman of Northern California Homes Foundation. "Once song and story made castles of small homes, extolling the virtues of simple living as a sort of sentimental compensation for lack of luxury. Standards of American living and American methods of production and distribution have made it possibe to build a four-room castle which differs from the forty-room only in size.
"From foundation to roof peak, the finest construction materials go into the low-cost home. The highest architectural talent in the land has contributed to the design services offered by local retail lumber dealers at minimum cost. Research and craftsmanship costing millions have perfected the standard equipment units of heating, refrigeration, plumbing, lighting, for the small home as for the large.
"This is the contribution of industry to democracy-manufacturer and retail dealer working together to give the fine quality which makes for equality. There is no other side to the railroad tracks when the wage earner can build and own a home which will rival the mansion on the hill'
"The home shown here is an outstanding example of a low-cost home desigaed to be any man's castle. It is well planned for every requirement of convenience, with an exterior that lends itself to slight alterations of detail or color combinations to express individuality."

The recent revision of Lumber Letter No. 9. titled ..Industrial Sash and Frames", published by the California Redwood Association, has proved timely in light of the decision in June by the United States Housing Authority that henceforth windows on all USHA projects should be of wood with wood trim, stiles, aprons, casings and stops.
In this move to help conserve defense materials, a long list of wood items was recommended to be used in place of metals in USHA projects. In the ease of windows, the Lumber Letter, recently brought up to date, presents all of the pertinent advantages of wood sash and frames over metal for industrial usage, and highlights the superiority of All-heart Redwood in such constructions. What is said of sash and frames in the leaflet also applies to them in home construction.
With the growing demand for conservation of defense materials in face of the current active expansion in building, there is strong likelihood that this step taken by the USHA is the forerunner of a general trend in that direction; a signal for lumber and building material dealers to brush up on the selling points of wood as a replacement for metals.
In the case of sash and frames, from lJniversity of Wisconsin studies, the leaflet shows wood windows have but

half the air leakage of similar metal windows; from American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers tests, it is shown heat loss through metal framing and sash is five times that through equivalent ones of wood, and at the conclusion. the Letter calls attention to the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory's placing of Redwood in that group of woods "that hold paint longest and suffer'least when protection against weathering becomes inadequate."

The name of the Geo. F. Weis Company has been changed to Lumber Buyers Exchange, with office at 1151 South Broadway, Los Angeles.
Mr. Weis, who also heads the new concern states that Lumber Buyers Exchange, through its affiliates, offers to carload buyers of industrial and construction lumber a close personal contact with the manufacturer, rendering a buying service at the minimum of cost and "an after the sale service," so essential under existing conditions. The service, he says, covers all of the western woods and practically all items in hardwoods. The telephone number is PRospect 2876.
