Revised Third Qucrter Lumber Allotments

Military requirements for lumber have not declined despite victory in Europe, so for the third quarter, the WPB allots to the Army 138 million board feet which has been held out in a "military reserve." The Navy gets an additional 70 million board feet from the "general reserve." The allotment for large industrial consumers is reduced by 11 million board feet, and firms dealing with the automotive division will get 4 million fewer feet.

Harbor Plywood Celebrates

20th Anniversary

The Harbor Plywood Corporation of Hoquiam, Wash., celebrated its twentieth anniversary on July 15. The morning program consisted of two radio broadcasts over Station KXRO of Aberdeen. The speakers at the first broadcast, which originated in Aberdeen, included E. W. Daniels, president of the company; Chapin Collins, manag'er, American Forest Products Industries, Washington, D. C.; and W. E. Difford, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma.

An informal luncheon at the Morck Hotel in Aberdeen was given for company executives and out-of-town guests, during rvhich a second broadcast from Washington was heard. The speakers were Vice-Admiral E. L. Cochrane, Chief of the Bureau of Ships, and Major Ben K. Weatherwax, in charge of the engineefing section at Marine Corps Headquarters, Washington, D. C., who commended the company on its achievements and spoke on the manv uses for which plywood is used in their branches of the service.

The afternoon program, held in the Olympic Stadium, Hoquiam, was opened with the raising of the Colors, and the playing of the national anthem by the Harbor Plywood Corporation band under the direction of Art Frederickson. Arthur W. Lindsay was master of ceremonies. President E. W. Daniels then presented 389 service emblems to Harbor employees for service records of five, ten, fifteen and twenty years. The baseball game between the Fort Lewis Warriors and the Puget Sound Navy Yard All-Stars was won by the Warriors 7 to 2. Proceeds of the game, witnessed by more than 6000 people, were donated for the purchase of furnituie and furnishings for reception rooms

and day wards in the convalescent section of the Madigan General Hospital, Fort Lewis, Wash.

History of Company

In 1925, Harry S. Knox and E. W. Daniels organized the Harbor Plywood Company. The firm was reorganized in 1929 under the name, Harbor Plywood Corporation, and Mr. Knox became president. He retired as president in 1933 to become chairman of the board, and in 1939 with other Grays Harbor citizens, purchased from Harbor Plywood the American Door & Manufacturing Co., now known as the Acme Door Co. He remains a director of Harbor Plywood. M1. Daniels became president of the company in 1939.

The officers of the firm now include: G. R. Birkelund, chairman of the board; E. W. Daniels, president; Frank H. Hobi, vice president; M. M. Pattison, secretary; Jack R. Rhem, treasurer; and T. R. Anderson, comptroller.

Instqll Resmn crt Felton Distribution Yard

Santa Cruz Lumber Co. recently installed a large resaw in the remanufacturing plant at their distribution yard established several months ago at Felton, Calif., six miles from Santa Cruz.

Equipment there includes a large planing mill and grading chains. The main garage, for the maintenance of 15 pieces of equipment for transportation of the product, has also been moved to the distribution yard.

All lumber is handled by Ross carriers and lift trucks, and all shipping both by truck and rail is done from Felton.

Ed Carriger is general manager of Santa Cruz Lumber Co., and Tom Alzina is sales manager.

WE CAN'T SUPPLY EVEN A NORMAL DEMAND FOR Redwood Lumber TODAY!

Our production oI Redwood lumber has lcrllen oll stecrdily during the pcst three yecrs, due to shortcrges oI men clnd skilled workers. More thcrn hcrll ol our reduced output is requisitioned lor militcry cnd wcr uscge. The smcll remcinder oI our availcrble stocks cqnnot begin to supply present civilicrn demands, which hcrve increcsed severql hundred percent over pre-wcr levels. However, we <rre doing everythin€t we ccrn to give our decrlers, AII WE CAN. We crpprecicrte your considercrtion crnd know you'll continue to understqnd we're tryrng to work with you, hcnd in hcrnd.

Chase

Llncover your head, and hold your breath, This boon not every lifetime hath, To look on men who, have walked with deathAnd have not been afraid. *

The above was evidently written in peace time. Today it is no novelty to "look on men whohave walked with death." They are all about us, on every train, in every theatre, on every street corner; men with the ribbons and insignias to show that they have seen death at close range-have known the thrill of mortal combat-of mortal fear perhaps. There are tens of thousands of them all over the country now. The boys I used to pick up in my car as I drove through country districts were then in training. Those I pick up now have all been overseas, and returned. What a vital, living thrill it is to talk to such men. Boys in years, but men in all else, for they have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, and come back to tell the story.

One boy I talked with is back fro'm Germany. He saw some of the horror camps. He saw other places where captivated young women from other lands had been at the unmerciful mercy of the German soldiers. "I cannot tell you about what I saw, even [ow," he said. "It would sicken you. Myself, I will be nauseated the rest of my life, just remembering." IIow can such nameless and unbelievable crimes ever be atoned for? I said to that boy-"who do you blame for the things you tell about?" And he said "every man, woman, and child in Germany-they are all to blame." And that is the feeling of all the many soldiers returned from there that I have talked to. A thousand years of sack-cloth and ashes could never atone for onetenth of the infamy that we know abotrt; and we have but scratched the surface.

In this column recently I quoted a speech by General George S. Patton, and one by Winston Churchill. We have another man in the American high command with a wonderful gift of expressing his fine thoughts. General Douglas MacArthur. Read what MacArthur wrote about his son. f think you will put this in your scrapbook, too. He said: * * * .

"By profession I am a soldier, and take pride in the fact. But I am prouder to be a father' A soldier destroys, in order to rebuild. A father only builds, he never destroys. The one has the potentialities of death. The other embodies creation, and life, and while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my

hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me, not from the battle, but in the home, repeating with him our simple daily prayer: 'Our Father which art in Heaven."'

MacArthur is one or -f"titiri. h"ro.". To me he looks and acts more like our familiar American eagle than any man in our history. I wrote in this space a year or so ago that he was my favorite American. He still is; although I have so nnny heroes now it is hard'to separate them. As Frank Wherritt wrote several months ago in this journal: "Never in history has a General started with so little, and never in history has an army advanced so far." And never have such wonders been accomplished with such saving of human life. A few days before he died in the Pacific, the famous columnist Raymond Clapper, wrote about MacArthur. He reported that MacArthur, still in Australia, had been "pushed around and left on starvation rations." But his spirit was unbowed, he fought ingeniously with what he had, and when the power finally came to his hands he performed the impossible; and is still doing so. It took a great man to sit and "take it" as he did for so long. Clap per said that MacArthur "reminded of a wounded lion." He fights like one, too.

When the news ""-" Jrr"J tli radio that the voters of England had swamped and snowed under the man to w.hom they owed their lives, their freedom, and their continued existence as a nation, I could hardly believe it. f knew from my reading that there was a strong swing toward Communism in England-who could doubt the plain evidence of it?-but it seemed impossible to me that they would throrry their great man overboard while the battle still raged. When Napoleon, in 1803, cried out that "Perfidious Albion" was not to be trusted, it looks like the "Little Corporal" was something of a prophet. If it had not been for Churchill, England today would be only a province of Germany. Yet the men on whose necks the Nazi yoke would have fallen the heaviest, were the ones who turned against him. He saved them from "National Socialism"; so they repaid him by voting for Socialism straight.

*>k*

They call it the "Labor Party," but that is largely window dressing. The whole text of their campaign was "closer collaboration with Soviet Russia," and the "nationalization of industry." When you take industry from its owners, you destroy property rights and private enterprise. When you destroy private enterprise and property rights, you leave no trace of democracy behind. And so far as "closer collaboration with Soviet Russia" is concerned, it is a notorious and

provable fact that when you collaborate closely with smallpox you soon break out with it, yourself. It hurt me, because all along I have had a mind picture of Britain and the United States standing shoulder to shoulder in a battle royal against the world-wide sweep of Communism; perhaps a winning fight. Now we have no such shoulder to back us up. Socialism with Communistic tendencies would make a mighty poor ally against the Communist Curse.

It tooks like we rr"". luol. ]n .rr". is left of real democracy in this troubled world. And if we are to judge by the open resumption of Communistic activities here at home, by the tidal wave of strikes and work stoppages in vital war industries in this country right now, and by all the published demands against business and government for postwar hand-outs, it looks like maybe our own democratic foundations are mighty shaky. Because as certain as God made little green apples and hung them on trees, if our own left wing gets all the somethings-for-nothing they are now demanding, we won't even have the shell of democracy left. Free enterprise is democracy, and democracy is free enterprise, and when you destroy one you kill the other. Freedom is divided into two equal parts; to have, and to hold. We're going to have to do a lot of very determined holding in these United States in the next year or so, for if we do not, then the brightest national star in the firmament of history, may become just a memory.

states it well. And when the entire record is unveiled, brothers, watch out for your blood pressure!

Official announcement by WPB that motor cars may probably be unrationed by the first of next January. In the papers, doubts are expressed. There can be no doubt that the Government will relax its grip on the automobile business just as fast as is humanly possible for the great and vital reason that here is the biggest and best way to employ men who are leaving the armed services, and the War plants. The motor car industry, with all its tremendous association of industries, will undoubtedly play the leading part in furnishing needed employment for worthy job seekers. To bring that about'as rapidly as possible, the unrationed manufacture and sale of cars is the first step.

*4<*

By the first of next January we should and I believe will have unrationed building in this country. For the building hungry nation is going to supply many, many millions of good jobs at the time when they are needed most. I am sure that the authorities realize fully the necessity for turning building and building materials loose as quickly as possible, if for no other reason than to furnish jobs for the multi-millions who will be seeking them; "a mighty draught for a mightier thirst," as Lewis Browne once wrote. Building cannot supply all the jobs that will be needed as we switch from war to peace, but-like the motor car industry-it will supply an unbelievable number. The great reservoir of building needs-if backed up by building materials-will take hundreds of thousands of men into every department of production, distribution, and construction. The sooner the restrictions can be lifted on building and building materials, the sooner the banner will be seen flying from coast to coast, reading: "Millions of good jobs available in the building industry-NO\M."

The resignation of General Chennault removes a most colorful figure from this war; one that the American public highly esteems. Remember a year or so ago when an officer remarked to Chennault that it was too bad we couldn't just press a button and kill all the Japs on earth at once? Chennault answered: "We don't want to do that. Think of all the fun we are having killing them slow."

THAT THEY CAN GM NO ACCOUNTING

One of my friends asks just what is my attitude toward Lend-Lease, concerning which I have written some critical things. The Dallas (Texas) News expressed my opinion very clearly in a recent editorial, as follows: "Of all the prodigal programs in the history of mankind, our schedule of Lend-Lease has been the greatest. It was justified on the basis of the emergency. When any great and complicated program is carried out under such pressure of urgency there is inevitable mismanagement and waste as there has been in this case. But the time has come when there should be strict accounting. A number of recent reports from the war investigating committee indicate that the several agencies controlling our benefactions abroad do not cooperate with each other and even keep their individual records so carelessly

IN THEIR OWN FIELDS OF OPERATION. Congress should reconstitute and reintegrate the whole Lend-Lease program, salvage the records of past operations, and present to the public a definite account of what has been done, what is being done, and what they intend doing in the future. The time has passed when any military operations demands the veiling of these records." The Dallas News

SAMPSON SCREEI{S ANE STRONGEST!

s everyone knows, war needs are consuming the bulk of the nation's lumber production-but we occasionally hear it stated that in meeting extremely heavy war demands, the lumber industry is dipping deeply into its timber reserves. This is not true to the point where future lumber supplies are seriously threatened.

Actually, the nation's reserves of standing timber of saw log size are vast. There is an abundance of mature trees, ripe for harvest and ready to serve America's normal building needs for many years.

Also growing in great profusign are young trees, which. will usefully serve the building needs of the next generation-and succeeding generations.

Timber is a Crop. Tbees grow.They are our only renewable resource.

modern forestry management, through planned programs, through improved control of fire, of insects, growths and disease, we are approaching the time timber growth will equal or surpass timber harvests.

Therefore, you can confidently look forward to having lumber oJ the highest quality for tomonow's new homes, churches, farm buildings, and commercial structures. You can count on lumber to continue in its role as America's best and most economical building material.

Immortclity

"There is not coming in the byjand-by a time when one will automatically become an immortal. One cannot become different from what he is. If he is not an immortal now, he never will become one. Unless he knows that he is an immortal now, he will never know that he is one."

(Lewis Strang)

Sure Cure

"How can you cure someone of snoring?"

"Easy. By good advice, cooperation, kindness, and by stuffing an old sock in his mouth."

Jungle Convention

Once upon a time the head lion in the jungle called all the jungle animals together for a conference, and when they were assembled he raised himself on his haunches, and said:

"Fellow animals, you have been summoned here today to protest against the existing order of things, Everything is wrong. (Loud growls and grunts). Animals from other territories are coming into our jungle thereby making it twice as hard for us to make a living, and now the question is, what are we going to do about it?"

Before anybody else had a chance to say a word the snail popped up and said: "I move you Mr. Lion that we all lay off our regular line of work and spend our time in meetings and conventions talking things over and passing resolutions until conditions change."

"\lV'ell," said the beaver, "I can't see that that will get us anywhere; how are we going to live in the meantime?"

At this point the elephant spoke up, and said: "I notice the bees are not in on this; let's get them here and make it unanimous."

!'Oh, there's no use fooling your time away with them," said the tiger. "I gave them an invitation this morning, but they said that while they wished us well they.were so busy looking after their own business, gathering honey in their regular territory and scouring around for new sources of supply that they really did not have time to attend conventions, make speeches, or listen to them."

So they all adjourned and went home. And the remarks of the bees gave them something to think about all the way.

An Old House

He who loves an old house, Never loves in vain, For how can an. old house Used to sun and rainTo lilac and to larkspur And tall trees above, Ever fail to answer, The heart that gives it love.

Dry Wecrther

Out of Arizcrra come lots of good dry weather gags. One of them concerns the man who threw some buckets of water on the roof of his five year old house; said he'd always wondered if the roof leaked. Another is about the family man who was seen throwing gravel on the roof of his house. Someone asked him why and he said: "It's going to rain one of these years, and I want the kids to know what it sounds like so they won't get too scared when it cornes."

A Little Bcrrgcin Shop

I want my life to be a shop, On a green, wind-swept hill; A shop for all the lovely things, Not bought $'ith Coin or Bill.

I'd deal in courage, and I'd have Upon a swinging shelf

A box of Patience-and a niche Where Joy could sun itself.

I'd carry hope in generous squares, Tied in with ribbons bright; And give away Forgetfulness For Fears that come at night.

Then, as a week-end Special For everyone, you see I'd give to all my customers A jar of Charity.

I want my life to be a shop, On a green wind-swept.hill; A shop for all the lovely things, Not bought with Coin or Bill.

Hoo-Hoo Day in September

The high point of the year in the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is Hoo-Hoo Duy, officially September 9, 1945. It marks the date of the 54th annual convention.

To Hoo-Hoo, the ban on conventions no longer offers a serious problem. For the past two years, instead of one big meeting at a central point, approximately twenty-five meetings were held in strategic cities. As September 9 falls on Sunday, local groups and organized Clubs of the Order will hold meetings either on September 8, or September 10.

Snark of the lJniverse Don Montgomery, and Secretary B. F. Springer, urge all Hoo-Hoo members everywhere in the United States and Canada to meet in observance of Hoo-Hoo Day.

Plcys Good GolI Gcme

John L. Todd, president of Western Door & Sash Co., Oakland, takes advantage of daylight saving time by bringing his golf clubs along on his business trips and playing at least nine holes after his day's work is done. He breaks 100 now and then for 18 holes, and just recently scored 104 on a course that's not so easy.

Mr. Todd is the recognized dean of the sash and door salesmen of the United States, and he is looking forward to the time when gas restrictions will be relaxed so that he can call on more people.

Veteran of \(/estern Pine Inspection

Forcc Retires

Henry Jensen, f.ot 26 years a member of the Western Pine Association lumber inspection staff, retired on August first. He is the dean of lumber inspectors in the Association's Bureau of Grades, both in length of continuous service and in age. Mr. Jensen has spent nearly 50 of his 71 years on lumber grading and inspection u'ork in the soft pine industry.

His first contact with it was at white pine mills in Michigan in the nineties; then in Minnesota and later in the Inland Empire of the Pacific Northwest, lumber grading continued as his main interest. It was at Potlatch, Idaho in 1907, soon after the Potlatch mill started, that he begarr his long connection with the Western Pine industry. During this extended period, he has witnessed the development and publication of standard grading rules applying to Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated woods of the region, the first such rules having been published in 1910 as an adaptation of northern rvhite pine rules which originated in the Lake States.

"Standard grades have been of great value both to buyers and sellers of Western Pines," said Mr. Jensen, "and the care and steady improvement in grading and manufacturing that I have seen during my years on inspection work make it clear to me at least rvhy lumber from the Western Pine region enjoys a fine reputation for uniformity ol grades, sizes and good seasoning. I shall alu.ays remember

with much pleasure these experiences and the friendships formed through the years."

Although eligible earlier for retirement under the Association's pension plan for staff employees, he has continued his regular assignment until now as his way of helping in the industry's war effort. However, his age and occasional poor health have imposed upon him the need oi less activity.

'fn announcing N{r. Jensen's decision to retire, SecretaryManager S. V. Fullaway, Jr. said, "The industry is losing the services of a thorough lumberman, an expert lumber grader and a loyal, dependable member of the Association staff but the relief from arduous duties and responsibility is richly deserved."

Henry Jensen expects to continue to make his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Ralph \(/. Hopey

Ralph W. Hopey, of Los Angeles, was killed in an airplane accident on August I while flying from Mexico City to San Luis Potosi in Mexico. He was 43 years of age.

Mr. Hopey was a lumber buyer with the Tropical & Western Lumber Co. of Los Angeles, and had spent a number of years in the Philippine Islands and South American countries.

He is survived l>y a brother, K. C. Hopey, of the General Hardwood Co., Tacoma, and a sister, who resides in Seattle.

Military wire screen requirements for the protection of our armed forces and wounded service men in the Pacific area are so great that WPB has allotted over 120,000,000 square feet of current wire screen production (more than 7O per cent of current production) to the A.{tty, Navy and the Aircrait Resources Control Offrce of WPB.

While this leaves very little metal screen cloth available for the civilian economy, some increase in production is expected since the industry was recently placed on the National Production Urgency List-a move that should result in improving the manpower situation for the industry'

Although manufacturers are producing considerably more wire cloth than a year ago, virtually all of the increase has gone to the military, WPB said.

Despite the severe domestic curtailment and the necessity of directing the larger part of available screen cloth to the malarial areas of the South, particularly to those subjected to recurring floods, OCR has set aside a substantial portion of its supply for "essential civilian users" for health reasons. Essential users, as defined in the metal screen cloth order (L-303), include such establishments as hospitals, health centers, nurses homes and institutions for mentally and physically sick, OCR said.

To reduce fly-borne contagion, milk and food processing plants, restaurants and retail stores, where milk or food is served or sold, and the kitchens, dining rooms and sick rooms of schools, colleges, welfare establishments and similar intitutions are also given special treatment as "essential civilian users." These essential users are entitled to priorities assistance as explained in Order L-303 recently amended. Any additional information may be obtained from local WPB regional offices.

Manufactttrers of screens for doors and windows will continue to obtain metal screening required in this pro-

For continued outstanding production of redwood for war purposes during the past six months period Union Lumber Company, Fort Bragg, California, has been granted the second Army-Navy "p" aqla1d-this time a flag with a star added.

In his citation Adm. C. C. Bloch, USN (Ret.) Chairman, Navy Board for Production Awards, again emphasized the splendid achievement of the Union Lumber Company war workers in maintaining the record that won for them the coveted "E" last February.

Strike qt Klamcth Fcrlls MiIl

Klamath Falls, Ore., Aug. 9.-Approximately a thousand ,employees were thrown into idleness today when CIO unionists went on strike at the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's pine mill. Refusal of a nightwatchman to join the union touched off the strike for a union shop and a blanket wage increase of 25 cents an hour.

Terrible Twenty GoU Tourndnent

Curt McFadden, with a net score of 68, carried off the first honors at the Terrible Twenty golf tournament held at the Riviera Country Club, Santa Monica, on July 12, and was awarded a silver goblet. Frank Connolly won the second prize, a silver ash tray, with a 73 net score. Roy Pitcher and Bob Mason sponsored the tournament.

Frank Berger won the play-off carried over from the June tournament, defeating Helmar Hoel, and won a silver goblet. Helmar received a silver ash tray. Dee Essley and Bob Falconer will be in charge of the August tournament.

duction, but their allotments are much lower than a year ago, OCR said.

The small amount of screen cloth available must be carefully apportioned by wholesale and retail distributors and stores. None should be sold at this time for use in screening new porches, and full-length screens should not be provided for double-hung windows.

Robert G. Bruce

The lumber industry lost one of its leaders on July 23 with the passing at his home in Memphis, Tenn. of Robert Glenn Bruce, president of E. L. Bruce Co. Mr. Bruce had suffered a heart attack in August, 1944, and since that time had been under the constant care of ph1'sicians and able to devote only a small part of his time to business.

The son of the late Edwin Lawson Bruce, founder of E. L. Bruce Co., and E,va Glenn Bruce, Mr. Bruce was born in Kansas City, Missouri, December 11, 1885. He started his business career by working during vacations in his father's lumber yard, and on graduation from high school, 'rvent into business with his father. At the'age of 18 he was manager of the yard.

In 1910, he and his father began the manufacture of hardrvood flooring under the name of the Kansas City Hardwood Flooring Company. In 1913 this business was destroyed by fire and the father-son combination decided to rebuild in Little Rock, Arkansas, where they would be close to an adequate supply of hardwood lumber. Here they started the present E. L. Bruce Co., with Robert G. Bruce as vice-president and general manager. In 1924 he was elected president of the company.

Mr. Bruce was an unusually capable executive with wellrounded knowledge and experience in finance, production and sales. His breadth of vision led the company into expanding its operations from one plant to seven plants, in building up a national and international sales organization, and in developing new products. When war broke Mr. Bruce put his company into the ammunition box and prefabricated house business almost overnight.

Mr. Bruce was also president of the Mississippi & Skuna Valley Railroad, constructed by E. L. Bruce Co. to get timber out of the woods and to their sawmills, and was a director and on the executive committee of the l-inion Planters National Bank & Trust Co. He belonged to the Second Presbyterian Church and served on their Laymen's League. A member of the Memphis Country Club, Mr. Bruce was an enthusiastic golfer until forced to give up the game by illness.

He is survived by his wife,' mother, a daughter, two grandchildren, and two brothers, C. Arthur Bruce and Edwin L. Bruce, Jr., both vice presidents of E. L. Bruce Co.
