IrHIS attractive, modern restauI rant is another example of plyrvood's extensive use for commercial buildings of almost every type. For eight years it has been attracting the public's eye-and patronage ! Designed by Archi,tect George Groves of Seattle. and built by the Atwell Construction Comyrany, it has proved a much-copied structure. Builder Bob Atwell says:

PIYWOOD'S TI,IANY ADVANTAGES

KEEP DE'IAANDS GREATER THAN PRESENT SUPPTY

Douglas fir plywood production is greater now than in prewar years. Today's demand, however, is unprecedented-and raw material availability is the control' ling factor in attaining higher output. This uneven demand-supply ratio naturally means that plywood may not always be readily obtainable at any given time and nlace. Keep in touch with your reglllar souree of supply as to price and deIiverv information. For technical data, writi the Douglas Fir Plywood Associa' tion, Tacoma 2, Washington.

"Douglas fir plywood is definitely on our list of preferred materials for both commercial and residential work. We were, I believe. among the first to use Exterior plywood for large, non-residential jobs, a.nd in every case it ,has turned in excellent performance. \I'e take advantage of plywood's strength, durability and ease of handling whenever possible." ?41,ners

Most Familieg Financing Homes Under Hardwood Flooring Production Soars FHA in Small Income Class

Over half the families who built or bought homes last year under the permanent program of the Federal Housing Administration had annual incomes of less than $3,500, it is reported by an article on "Family Incomes of Small-Home Buyers" in the Second Quarter 1947 issue of the Insured Mortgage Portfolio, official FHA publication.

The analysis is confined to families financing single-family owner-occupied homes under Section 203, Title II, National Housing Act. ft shows that 54.4/o of the families financing new homes under Section 203 and.58.0% of those financing existing homes had in,comes of less than $3,500.

The average income of families financing new homes under Section 203 last year was $3,619.

Other new-home averages under this section lor 1946 were: F{FIA valuation $6,545; mortgage principal $5,553 or $84.8% of valuation; monthly payment $46.06 (including payments to principal, interest, mortgage and hazard insurance, taxes, and other fixed charges); monthly housing expense, including estimated maintenance, $63.04.

Influence of the rising national income, the article states, is'qlearly shorvn by comparing the percentages of incomes amounting to less than $3,500 for the past several years. The number of new-home purchasers under Section 203 rvith incomes of less than $3,500 was 84.L/o in 194O, 83.6% in 1942, and 54.4/o in 1946. The number of existing-home purchasers with incomes of less than $3,500 was 76.2/o in 1940, 71.9% in 1942, and 58.0/o in 1946.

Washington, D.C., August l.-Zoomins hardwood flooring production in the first six months cif. 1947 has considerably eased the supply situation for this vital home building material, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported today.

Preliminary reports to the Association's National Trade Barometer place first-half output of oak flooring at 266,281,000 feet, a jump of 140 per cent over the first half of. 1946. Maple flooring output totaled 26,475,n0 feet-an increase of 50 percent.

The heavy increases reflect addition of new capacity and record output from existing plants, the NLMA said.

Despite this soaring production and ever-increasing plant capacity, continuing high demand keeps hardwood-flooring in the "scarce" category. With housing starts at a 2Fyear high and indications of a high level of commercial construction, it is probable that demand for flooring vi'ill exceed supply for the remainder of the year.

However, the industry predicts it will maintain, if not exceed, its present accelerated rate of production in an effort to keep pace with demand.

Meanwhile, over-all production of lumber is substantially higher than the 1946 figure, and is in plentiful supply in most grades and sizes.

How Lrumber Loolrs

The lumber market continues strong. The freight car shortage is curtailing lumber shipments into the California market. Gross stocks and unfilled orders are being built up at the mills, and operators report they are only getting about 25/o of their normal supply of cars. Some inland mills are trucking their cut to tidewater for re-shipment by water. A few mills in the Northwest have had to shut down, and it is believed that others will have to close before the car shortage is relieved.

Lumber shipments of 398 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 6.7 percent below production for the week ending August 2, L947. In the same week new orders of these mills were 3.6 percent above production. Unfilled order files of the reporting mills amounted to 72 percent of stocks. For reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders are equivalent to 32 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks are equivalent to 41 days' production.

For the year-to-date, shipments of reporting identical mills were 3.1 percent above production; orders were 6.9 percent above production.

'Western Pine Association reports orders of Idaho white ine, Ponderosa pine, sugar pine and associated species for week ended July 26 stood at 63,167,000 board feet as against 68,740,AN for previous week and 67,135,000 for same week a year ago. Similar comparisons for shipments

New Pfize Home Will be \Vell Filled Hoo-Hoo 1947 Convention

Keen interest in the forthioming convention of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is being manifested throughout the lumber industry. The 25 clubs of Hoo-Hoo are now selecting their delegates. This 56th convention-l947 annual-will be held at Spokane, Washington, September 9 and 10.

Spokane Hoo-Hoo are making preparations for a royal welcome to Hoo-Hoo. Hal R. Dixon, M248, Spokane, who is Supreme Senior Hoo-Hoo, is responsible for the invitation to Spokane. fn cooperation with officers and members of the Spokane Hob-Hoo Club No. 16, he has worked out a nice blending of Hoo-Hoo business, educational and social programs. The general convention chairman is Grant Dixon, Jr., 16469.

Winner of the Celotex Cemesto House in the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund slogan contest is Mrs. Rudolph Kvetan of Mont Clare, Pa., wife of a young war veteran and mother of three small children. Her slogan "Arrest Cancer-'Wanted for Murder !" was selected from more than 236,0N as being the best entered in the contest conducted by the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for Cancer Research. Both the contest and the Celotex house have received a great amount of public attention through press, radio and newsreels during the past several weeks.

The six room Pre-Engineered Cemesto House will be erected, completely furnished and equipped, on a plot of ground to be selected by the winner.

The prize-winning family of five now lives in a rented walk-up apartment with rented furniture, so the new house and its furnishings will be appreciatively received by the Kvetans.

Mr. Kvetan is a veteran of World War II and is now employed at Valley Forge Hospital near Mont Clare, Pa.

The formal two-day session will be devoted primarily to the business of Hoo-Hoo, but panel discussions of vital interest to the lumber industry will highlight the program. Members attending are invited to plan to be in Spokane on September 8 on which day a pre-convention informal program is scheduled. Post convention trips to Coulee Dam and the Lewiston Weyerhaeuser plant are planned for September 11.

Early reports to National Secretary, B. F. Springer, 34265 indicate a large attendance from every Jurisdiction and from all parts of the country. Hoo-Hoo Clubs of the Pacific States report that in addition to accredited delegates, they will have large groups of members in attendance.

Hoo-Hoo Day, September 9, will be observed by all local Hoo-Hoo Clubs with meetings at which programs, concats and elections will be scheduled for those not attending the convention, thus assuring 100 per cent participation in the Hoo-Hoo 1947 annual.

July Construction Well Above 1946

Washington, August 4.-New construction in July,1947, totaled $1,139,000,000, representing gains of B per cent over the preceding month and 16 per cent over July, 1946, according to an estimate by the Commerce Department.

The Department estimated that $6,487,000,000 of new construction was put in place during the first seven months of the year, compared with $4,806,000,000 in the corresponding months of.1946.

Aslc Controls on Lumber Exports Be Discontinued

Washington, D.C., August 1.-A strong plea for termination of export controls on lumber was voiced by George M. F,uller, vice president, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, at a recent "round table" discussion of the subject called by the Department of Commerce Export Control director, Dr. Francis Mclntyre.

Stating that our adequate production of lumber has removed all necessity for a continuation of the war-born controls, Mr. Fuller pointed out that such controls can not be administered without discrimination and that the National Lumber Manufacturers Association is opposed to any government regulation of business where an emergency or extraordinary situation does not exist.

Industry replesentatives at the informal discussion heard Secretary of Commerce W. Averill Harriman give a summary of general problems to be ironed out in the field of export controls. In response to direct questioning, Secretary Harriman stated that the international situation did not enter into the determination of whether continued ,controls rvere advisable-that ili was almost wholly a domestic economic issue.

H.V. Simpson, executive vice president, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and Lee Robinson, Mobile River Sawmill Company, Mt. Vernon, Alabama, as well as other lumber manufacturing representatives, pointed out the fallacy of continuing controls under the guise of domestic shortages for home construction when the great bulk of proposed

exports consists of types and grades not normally consumed on the,domestic market. Any fears of a departure from this pattern are unfounded, they maintained, because of serious dollar ;hortages abroad. They pointed out that this lack of purchasing power would be an adequate curb on the amount of our exports and additional regulation by the government is not necessary.

Representatives of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and the National Association of Home Builders present at the discussion took an opposing viewpoint and asked that the status quo be r.naintained in so far as lumber controls are concerned. They held to this position 'despite assurance from the lumber manufacturing industry that production has now reached such proportions that supply would keep up with the domestic construition program and still be able to partially satisfy the foreign market.

Although this meeting was purely advisory in character, it seems likely that controls may be lifted on hardwood exports in the near future, but that there,will be little change in the softwood picture.

The literary man is oftentimes painfully misunderstood. Stuart Holbrook, the great Northwest writer whose hobby is forests and woods, has a new book entitled "Burning An Empire." ft concerns the great forest fires of American history. A fellow who bought one wrote and demanded his $2.50 back. He thought it was a book on baseball. "I wuz robbed," uras his complaint.*

Long years ago, I wrote a couple of books. A joke-loving friend who bought one of them, wrote me: "I read your ad and I bought your book. Why the hell didn't you get the fellow who wrote the*ad, jo w*rite the book?"

How easily a smart man can simplify an apparently hopeless tangle of thoughts and words. Take the subject of the atom. Generally it requires most of the dictionary to attempt to explain it. Now my friend Thomas Dreier, of Boston, tells it simply and in a few words. He says: "The whole scheme is fundamentally simple. Everything is made of 92 different kinds of atoms. Each atom is only a different arrangement of three kinds of fundamental particles-electrons, protons, and neutron.; t: now you can tell 'em.

"The race of tyrants is not yet extinct," wrote an historian several centuries ago. No, not then, nor now, nor ever so long as the human race shall endure. How provable is that historian's remark today. As George Gissing wrote: "In the days to come, as through dl time that is past, man will lord it over his fellows, and earth will be stained red from veins of young and old."

How admirable is complacency and the ability to remain calm and casual in the face of general alarm; like the world is in today, for instance. Bugs Baer says he refuses to let the atomic threat disturb his rest. Says he is like the fellow in the boarding-house who was awakened by hearing the landlord screaming frantically-"FlRE !" The boarder turned over on his pillow, and suggested to the excited shouter: "Call me when*thefloor gets hot."

"To individuals who are afraid of responsibility, the future always looks dark and dangerous," says Dr. V. O. Watts, distinguished economist. "For them, freedom is less important than 'security'. They want a 'strong government', headed by a benevolent and energetic leader, to care

for them. When such individuals become sufficiently numerous, the nation becomes weak and poor. Where, then, is the 'security' they sought?" *

And jumping right back from the serious to the ridiculous, one of my friends is having a lot of fun. He has organized, he says, a corporation for a special purpose, and is selling stock in that mythical corporation to all his friends. The entire business of that corporation is NOT TO RAISE OKRA. He insists that if he can get enough people for stockholders, he may succeed eventually in discouraging the raising of okra, thoroughly and completely. And that, he thinks, would be a great national blessing.

He reminds me of .rr" lorol.a irott er in the famous old story, who, when he refused to eat okra and was asked to explain why, declared that "f nevah puts nuthin' in mah mouf Icain'tcontrol."

Which foolishness reminds me of the campaign that a distinguished friend of mine tried to start a few years back among his innumerable friends and acquaintances. .He wanted to establish a society for the prevention of putting parsley on plates. I recall that I Fpoke for a membership right quickly, being one of those crude souls always seized with a potent ambition to pick all parsley from plates and throw it on the floor. Anyway, his campaign evidently didn't get far, as I have heard nothing of it lately, and entirely too often I still find a gob of parsley on my dinner plate. The way I remember it, his plan was to get every man pledged to always throw the parsley on the floor if in a private eating place; and if in a public place, to walk out indignantly without paying the check. But, like many gallant campaigns, it died a-bornin'.

Says Carl Carmar, folk historian, and author of "America Sings"; "Not all of ma_nts'wisdom has come from the great. The le, in the passing of the generations, have also I truths; truths proved by their create saylngs Ssing their simple vernacular, they sifted and polished by thousands of own long ex re-tellings until they reach the ultimate in succinct meaning. From the simplicity and brevity of a proverb which has been affirmed by a community as a whole on its journey through time, comes beauty that is not often rivalled by individual literary craftsmen." ***

The imagination of man has the horizon of experience; and beyond experience or nature man cannot go, even in imagination. Man is not a creator. He combines. He adds

"From the mouths of babes,', says the old adage, sometimes there cometh forth wisdom; And from the mouths of humorists, and entertainers, and night clubbers too, strange as it may seem. There is a famous New york entertainment fellow by the name of Billy Rose, who now edits and publishes a column. And in that column I have recent- ly found-and been surprised to find-various pearls of wisdom; or so they seem to me. yet who aml to "ay where pearls of wisdom should originate? *t,t

The other day he talked about the recent great wage raise given the coal miners, and he handed me a brand new slant on the thing that sank,into my thick skull. He suggests it might be a wise idea to make the coal miners our highest paid common laborers, and for vital reasons which he enumerates. Our whole economy depends on coal. With_ out it, the steel industry with all the other great industries that depend on steel, would go down the drain, and chaos would come to this land. And how the wild-eyed boys in the Kremlin would love that. ***

There is no romance or glamour about coal mining. It is dark, dirty, dispiriting work, and all you can offer a young

man to induce him to become an apprentice in the mining of'coal (and thus keep up the fow of labor in that direction) is "money and lung trouble", as Billy Rose puts it. So, be says, let's be smart and make it worth while for young men to go into the mines to work, make it pay them handsomely in wages, to the end that in these troublous world times ure may keep the furnace fire burning and the great industries employing men to the highest peak. Most other laborers could quit and we might get by. But we can't hold the line for private industry. and private enterprise without plenty of coal. A few years later, maybe, but not now. At least, that's the way Billy Rose' talk sounded to me; and it sounded sound.

Says Dr. George S. Bensori: "If, we would like to increase inflation and have more dollars in our pockets but be able to buy less with them, thin we should encourage a high federal. budget, high federal taxes, and still higher wages. All these things have an inflationary influence on our economy. If we want a solid economy where dollars will buy more and we can actually live better, then we must do these things: (1) Work for lower taxes, which wquld leave more in the purchasing stream and would stop discouraging investment on new industries and new tools for workmen, (2) oppose the high budget with extravagant federal spending, and (3) work for stable industrial relations. Industry, labor, agriculture, and all other American groups should understand these facts. With shoulders to the wheel we must work for a stabilized America that can lend stability to a confused world."

FHA lssues Regulations Covering Insurance of Loans Under Section 609, Title Vl

Washington, D.C., August 2.---The Federal Housing Administration announced today the issuance of regulations governing insurance of loans made by private lending institutions to manufacturers of prefabricated housing under the new Section 609, Titl" VI, National Housing Act, recently enacted by Congress and signed by President Truman.

This is a new field to which FHA insurance has been extended, it was explained, and is in addition to FHA's insurance of home mortgage and property improvement loans. Applications for Section 6@ loans will be processed at Washington FHA headquarters, and all necessary forms may be obtained from that office.

Rules and regulations covering insurance of Section 609 loans were made to carry out the purpose of the section which is to assist in relieving the acute shortage of housing and to promote the production of housing for veterans of World War II at moderate prices or rentals through the application of modern industrial processes.

Loans insured under Section ffi9 may be made by any private lending institution approved by FHA.

Under the Administrative Rules, the proceeds of a Section 609 loan shall be used for the purpose of financing the cost of manufacturing houses meeting such requirements of sound quality, durability, livability, and safety as may be prescribed by the Commissioner. The loans may not be in excess ot90/o of the Commissioner's estimate of the cost of manufacturing houses, exclusive of profit. The maximum term is one year, and the maximum interest rate is 4/o a year, plus a mortgage insurance premium of l/o of the original principal amount of the loan.

Kenneth Smith Talks Behre Peninsula Lumbermen's Club

Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association, San Francisco, was the speaker at the dinner meeting of the Peninsula Lumbermen's Club, held at the Ramor Oaks Restaurant, on El Camino Real, Atherton, Calif., on Friday July 18. There was a good attendance. James Martin, San Carlos Lumber Co., San Carlos, presided.

Mr. Smith's subject was "Human Relations and the Taft-Hartley Act," and his address was a thoughtful and well prepared one on the all important problem of management-labor relations. He said that "this Act is neither as good as its sponsors represent it to be, nor as bad as labor czars persuaded many honest men to believe it,by a brilliant but reckless campaign of misrepresentation in their effort to defeat it," and warned that "employers need to lean over backwards in the effort to make the new law work, and that they should use it to rebuild the confidence of men who work in their .leadership."

Paul Merner, Merner Lumber Co., Palo Alto, is president of the Peninisula Lumbermen's Club.

Governments and Mcrn

It has been thought a considerable advance towards establishing the principles of freedom to say that government is a compact between those who govern and those who are governed: but this cannot be true because it is putting the effect before the cause; for, as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently 'there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact.

The fact therefore must be that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.-Thomas Paine.

The Rcg Doll

Her folks were poor when she was small, A dolly made of rags was all Her mother could afford to buy, fn vain for Princess dolls she'd sigh.

When fortune smiled her mother bought The kind of dolls she'd always sought, Expensive dolls with silken curls, She was the happiest of girls.

It's funny how the years can fly, Now, side by side her dollies lie. But when she dreams of childhood's charms, The rag doll nestles in her arms.

Simpson Plans Completed For Distribution Of Shakes And Shingle Stains

Further details on the distribution of Olympic prestained Perfect-F'its sidewalls and Olympic shingle stains in southern California through Simpson fnd.ustries, Inc., have been announced by Robert E. Seeley, vice-president of the company.

In accordance with the policy of Simpson Industries to be most selective in lines distributed out of their Los Angeles plant, it was felt that southern California dealers would welcome their'handling this popular, fine quality line of pre-stained shakes and roofing shingles, as well as the new, improved line of Olympic stains. These products have enjoyed wide acceptance and use all over the country and their manufacturer, the West Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle, Washington, pioneered the introduction of double-coursed, textured sidewalls on the Pacific Coast.

"Investigation showed that pre-stained shake sidewalls are becoming more and more popular with builders on the Pacific Coast,,because of their distinctive appearance, economy, and ease of installation," said Mr. Seeley. "This type of sidewall construction is used on the most expensive horres, as rvell as on lower cost homes for veterans, where cost of construction has to be held down to a minimum. The fact that sidewalls of Olympic Perfect-Fits are available in five soft pastel colors is a parti,cular inducement to builders who seek a variance in the appearance of homes of

similar construction in the same grouping-so that they will not have the "block" appearance. Moreover, the stains used by this company have a pure linseed oil base, which does not bleed," continued Mr. Seeley.

Olympic products rvill be wholesaled to lumber dealers, only, out of the Simpson Industries Los Angeles plant. Ample stocks of these sidewalls and stains will be kept on hand to provide prompt delivery to dealers, according to George S. Melville, manager of that plant, who also stated that shipments to dealers in mixed-car lots can be made direct from the West Coast Stained Shingle Company in Seattle. The products will also be stocked at the Shelton, Washington, warehouse of the Simpson fndustries, managed by Harold Johns.

Included in the complete line of pre-stained shingle sidewalls are the popular Olympic Perfect-Fits (grooved texture), Olympic Duo-Walls (plain surface), and three varieties of pre-stained handsplit shakes (Exeters, Oxfords and Norfolks). All are available in 5 soft, subdued pastel colors: chamois, beachwood, seafoam, white primer and russet. For roofs, the line includes pre-stained Olympic Tri-Laps (plain surface) and three varieties of handsplits (Norfolks, Oxfords and Windsors). These are available in five rich colors: navajo, willow, mahogany, holly and

ebony. Sidewalls are available in roof colors, and roofs are available in sidewall colors upon special order.

Pure Linseed Oil Base

All Olympic sidewalls and roof shingles are thoroughly impregnated with Olympic Shingle Stain, rvhich has a base of pure linseed oil. The formulae for this stain 'ivas recently revised to include a new wood preservative-Tox4l-1splacing that which was formerly used. This new product was formulated in the laboratories of the West Coast Stained Shingle Company and is now used as the preservative ingredient in all their stain products, in addition to being marketed alone for general application.

Toxal (pentachlorophenol base) is particularly well suited for use in Olympic Shingle Stains, since these stains consist of high quality oil pigments ground in pure linseed oil, and while Toxal is relatively insoluble in water, it is soluble in these oils. The quality of products treated rvith it is enhanced by virtue of increased resistance to rot and decay. Its use on red cedar and redwood shingles has demonstrated that it is one of the most effective wood preservatives yet developedand is also recommended wherever r.vood needs protection. 'foxal, sold separately, is ready to use for immediate application to poles, fence posts, timbers, finished millwork, plywood, cellulose wallboard, celluose insulation, chicken houses and many other rvooden structures. It provides a simple and inexpelrsive method of treating lumber. Olympic Toxal leaves a clean treatment,

does not discolor wood, and no objectionable odor remains. Treated surfaces can be painted, puttied or varnished. Olympic Shingle Stains are formulated not to bleed, cracli or peel, and again Toxal is found to be suitable for use in these stains, since it does not bleed.

Both Toxal and Olympic Shingle Stains are sold separately in 5-, 10- and 50-ga11on containers. The stains are available in the five sidewall and five roofiing colors mentioned above.

Philip W. Bailey, head of the West Coast Stained Shingle Company, is well known in the building industry in the Western states. Bailey organized the company in 1932 and subsequently pioneered the use of pre-stained shakes for sidewalls in this area. His company has developed many new processes anct formulae now used in the pre-staining of textured, red cedar sidervalls and in the manufacture of shingle stain. The resulting high quality of the products, coupled with a consistent, strong merchandising program, has caused the company to grorv to be one of the largest manufacturers of pre-stained shakes and shingle stains in the West.

It is, therefore, 'il'ith this assurance of consistent production of these popular, dependable products that Simpson Industries has undertaken their distribution to dealers in the southern California area.

Spoufding Building, Por]lqnd 4, Oregon

The Peninsula Milling Co. is now in operation at its new location, a two-acre piece of property, at Bayshore Highway and East San Carlos Avenue, San Carlos, Calif., 18 miles south of San Francisco. Its San Mateo plant rvas destroyed by fire on January 18,1947.

The remilling plant includes two stickers, self-fed gang rip and 60" resaw, also space for a yard planer not yet procured. The building is 20'x75'.

The main mill is 5O'x 100, and has a 14-foot vertical clearance at the entrances. The equipment includes a grinding room and a complete list of cabinet shop machinery.

The sash and door warehouse is20'x70'.

Construction will be started August 15 on a 50'x 100' main warehouse. All buildings are metal sheathed for fire resistance, and set apart to eliminate the hazards of total loss by fire. All the wiring is underground, and a blower system now being installed runs from both mills to an air-cooled burner.

The office is a one-story redwood rustic building and the interior is finished in pine paneling and weltex.

The'company's present payroll is 25, and upon completion of the plant the average daily payroll will be about 35 men.

In addition to the sale of lumber and manufacture of millwork for the building industry, the company will continue to serve approximately ninety industrial accounts with special purpose boxes, crates, flats, pallets and export packaging.

Adds Second Graduate Forester

Pointing up graphically the spread of scientific forest management through the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington is the announcement from Stewart Weiss, president of West Gate Lumber Company at Sweet Home, Oregon, of the addition of a second graduate forester to his staff.

The real significance hack of this appointment lies in the size of the company's operation and in the length of time Weiss has had a forestry program. West Gate Lumber Company is one of the medium sized sawmilling firms of the Willamette Valley. About three years ago Weiss decided he was going to set up a sound forestry program in his holdings in eastern Linn county and he hired Larry Marshall, who had been a forester with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in Oregon.

So effective has been the work of Marshall in expanding sound forestry practices on a workable basis that Weiss decided to increase his work in that direction. His second forester, Otto Peters, is a graduate of Oregon State College in 1940. He has had seven years experience with some of the top lumber firms of the West. For several years he engaged in engineering, forest mapping and general forestry work for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company at Mollala and more recently he was with the Hill Timber Company in Linn county.

Peters will work under Marshall and will be engaged in logging engineering, mapping and industrial forestry work for West Gate. There are now over 300 industrial foresters working in the Douglas fir lumber industry. In 1940 there were less than seventy.
