Joshua Tree, Calif.

We all make mistat.r. So *i hold elections to try and correct them. Then, of course, we make more mistakes, and have to hold more elections.

Now that the national political conventions are history, it may once again be remarked that no speaker hit any high lights in the way of political oratory. Sad, is it not, to refect that the days of real oratory in America, are gone? The microphone did it. Orators no longer exist, pouring out their inspired thoughts through unrehearsed lips. Every speaker has a mike. Every speaker has a manuscript. So every speaker is just a reader, a declaimer at best. Too bad. ft was one of the grandest of the human arts'

All authorities agree that the greatest nominatinq speech in American history was delivered by Col. R. G. fngersoll on June 15th, 1876, in nominating James G. Blaine for President at the Republican national convention. He said: "Like an armed warrier, like a plumed knight, James G. Blaine marched down the halls of the American Congress and threw his shining lance full and fair against the brazen foreheads of the defamers of his country and the maligners of his honor." Ingersoll had no "mike" to amplify his speech. He needed none.*Blaine got beat.

It often happens that way. The greatest orations are not always successful. Daniel Webster did his grandest job of oratory when he pleaded in court to break the will of Stephen Girard, who had endowed Girard College, but provided that no clergyman should ever set foot inside its doors. Webster surpassed himself, pierced the skies with his logic and his oratory. But he lost the case. No clergyman has ever entered Girard College-one of the greatest educational institutions .l .i*1_

Which reminds me of a true story that made the world laugh at the time. Fforace Greeley went to Girard College for a visit. Greeley dressed in old fashioned style, and wore a rather ecclesiastical-looking hat. FIe was stopped at the door by the perpetual guardian of the gate. The guard thought he was a preacher, and he stepped in front of Greeley and said: "Sorry, you cannot enter." Greeley swelled up with indignation and said: "The hell I can't !" The guard stepped aside and said: "Come right in."

Just as the nominating speech of Ingersoll for Blaine tops all other nominating speeches, so does a bit of political invective uttered by John Randolph, of Virginia, top all recorded pieces of political invective. And THAT is something, for political invective is something Americans have been famous for. John Randolph, of Virginia, hated Henry Clay as few political foes have ever hated. He recognized the brilliance of his foe, yet despised him otherwise, so his remark about Clay that "like a .mackerel in the moonlight he shone and stank," still holds the championship. Political foes with vitriol in their speech have tried ever since to surpass the Randolph masterpiece; but Randolph is still the champ.***

Naturally the passions and prejudices that arise when politics boil high, are conducive to the creation of articles of condemnation, and tens of thousands of verbal barbs are loosed in every presidential campaign in this nation. The unkind remarks that were made pro and con by the Republicans and Democrats at their recent conventions were wholesale and loud, but nothing worth quoting came to my attention. Having listened to Southern campaign oratory for so many years, ordinary stuff does not impress me. Flowever I will say that bitterness swept mountain high in the writings of our better known columnisis and editors, with regard to the Henry Wallace convention. f have never read meaner things. One columnist likened Henry's press conference to a bunch of boys hazing the village idiot. And Paul Gallico, one of our very best American writers today, said that looking back at the Wallace convention he felt that he had spent four days in a cesspool. It is true that Henry seems to have earned the beating he is taking-but how does he stand it?

Outside of the bitterness that it so frequently engenders, I love political oratory. Time was when f went from place to place to listen while the political windbags waved their arms in hurled challenges that they did not mean, and uttered philosophies that they did not understand. A political speech by a master speaker-r'-zithout benefit of microphones-is one of the delights of public life. What a timeless thrill it must have been to listen to Pericles of Athens, who used no unnecessary word, and misused no word. Or to have been standit* tr *anr* "rowd when Cicero said:

"Now the great foundation of justice is faithfulness, which consists in being constantly firm to your word, and a conscientious performance of all compacts and bargains. The vice that is opposite to justice is injustice, of which there are two sorts: the first consists in the actual doing

As the slang phrase goes-"that's talking to him."

Only we have nobody who speaks that sort of language in these days of ours. Take it back. Churchill can. But even Churchill uses a manuscript to speak from; although f understand he does *Of

it.

I heard William Jennings Bryan repeat his famous "Cross of Gold" speech when f was a young kid, and I never forgot the way he thundered that final phrase about pressing down the crown of thorns upon the brow of labor. The most eloquent political speaker I ever listened to was the late Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey. He made all others, including Bryan, sound cheap when he got going good. I heard him when he made his most famous utterance, that went like this: "I agree with Lincoln that all the armies of Europe could not, by force, make a footprint in the Blue Ridge or drink from the waters of the Ohio. But f warn you, my countrymen, that if this nation ever dies, it will die from within, and not from without. If this nation ever dies, there witl be no resurrection morn. There will be no guardian angel to roll away the rock from our sepulchre door, there will be no Easter Morn for this Republic."

f always liked the story of the colored brother who lived on the Northern boundary of Kentucky where political strength was well divided, and Democrats and Republicans battled for honors at each election. This darky said that on election morning the Republicans offered him two dollars for his vote, and then the Democrats offered him one dollar. "FIow did you vote?" he was asked. ,,f done voted fo' de Democrats," he said. 'Dey was.less corrupt."

Then there was the political speaker addressing a large crowd, and a heckler started cutting in with the question"How do you stand on inflation?" The speaker ignored him, and kept on talking. Again came the question-,,Ilow do you stand on infation?" Again, and yet again the question was asked, and always the speaker ignored it. Finally others in the crowd took it up, and demanded to ftn6yy-"[few do you stand on infation?', Crowded to the wall, the speaker had to repJy. He said-,,Well, brothers, I did not come here to discuss infation because there are

other things more important, Qut if you must know, I'm in favor of payin' her off*and lettin' her go."

And let me remind you here of one of my favorites of all political stories. A candidate for office on the Democratic ticket had publicly proclaimed that if beaten in the primary, he would withdraw from all political activity in that election. Ffe was beaten, and immediately began working openly for the Republican candidate. At a public speaking the Democrat who had defeated him dared him in public to explain his lack of faith, and his broken promises. "Did you or did you not," he demanded, "publicly declare previous to the Democratic primary that you would support even a yellow dog if he rvere the legally elected nominee of the Democratic Party?" The defeated one admittedt that he had made such a public statement. l'Then" said the speaker, "will you now explain how and why you are now actively opposing my election?" Said the other: "f DID say that I would support the legally elected nominee of the Democratic Party, even though he were ayellow dog-but LOWER THAN THAT,'PLEASE GOD, THEY'LL NEVE*R ?"lO ME!"

Long, long ago Woman's Suffrage was one of the big questions before this politically-minded nation. Should we let women vote, or should we not, was the moot question. Opinions ran riot. The famous old minstrel man, Lew Dockstader, voiced his opinion on the matter while acting as a black-face end-man in his show. "Sure, let 'em vote !" he said. "WE DON'T HAVE TO COUNT 'EM !" And I remember Senator Joe Bailey exclaiming: "All this talk about letting women vote or not letting them vote, is silly. Women don't want to vote. If they did they would have been voting long ago. Who's going to stop them when they want to?" Sounded logical at the time. And they were soon voting. * * *

Heard a prayer not long since. A grand one. Don't know the author, but it sure is timely right now. It simply said: "God give us the wisdom to change what must be changed; to accept serenely what cannot be helped; and the insight to lcrow one from the other." Swell, eh?

And then some recent cynic came up with this one: "If we have to re-make the world, ute've got plenty of mhterials to do it with; THIS oNE wAs MADE OUT OF .HAOS TOO."

New \(/age-Hour Interpretation of Overtime Starts

September 15th

Of great interest to all employers who employ overtime workers, is the interpretation of the Wage and Hour Administration on how it will interpret the Supreme Court's recent decision concerning overtime-on-overtime. Administrator W. R. McComb announces the following interpretation, which goes into effect September 15th:

"The act requires that an employer include in a worker's 'regular rate of pay' premium payments for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or at night as such, or when the premiums are paid without regard to the number of hours or days previously worked by the employee in the day or rvork-week. In addition, such premium payments may not be counted against the law's requirements of overtime for work in excess of 40 hours a week. However, if the extra payment for Saturday, Sunday, holiday or night work is made because the employee has previously worked a certain ,rurnb", of hours or days, the premium payments lvill be regarded as true overtime pay, need not be included in the regular rate, and can be counted against the overtime required in the law. Moreover, this standard will apply even though a contract may also contain a provision calling for premium payments for work on those days or hours as'such."

The "Wall Street Journal" explains this interpretation as follows :

"The Wage Hour Administration said that in applying the new principles the division will look not only to the terms of the applicable contract, but also at the actual practice of the parties under the contract. The mere fact that a contract calls for premium payments for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and at night would not necessarily prove that the higher rate is paid because of undesirable working hours if, as a matter of fact, the actual praetice of the parties shows that the payments are made because the employees have previously worked a specified number of hours or days."

The "Journal" explains further:

"Suppose a union contract called for 60 cents an hour for lvork from 9 to 6, 5 days a week, 90 cents an hour for work at any other time, including week-ends, nights, and

holidays. And suppose a worker who always worked from 9 to 6 Thursday through Monday with an hour off for lunch, put in some overtime on the week-end. The extra pay he regularly received for his Saturdays and Sundays work would have to be included in figuring his true houriy rate, and the overtime would be one and a half times this new rate.

"But suppose another worker in the same plant worked 9 to 6, Monday through Friday, and one week worked at night or on Saturday. The 90 cent rate provided in the contract would satisfy the overtime requirements pf the law. The statement said. the interpretation is merely the construction of the law which the administrator believes to be correct, and that the final say rests with the cdurts."

Government Selling Big Stand Alaska B.M.D. in San Jose Moves Timber fior Pulp Makins To New Location

On August 2nd in Washington, the U. S. Forest Service opened a qualified bid for the sale of a billion and onefualf cubic feet of spruce and hemlock timber on government land in Alaska, which sale is expected to open a great new industry-the wood pulp industry. There was but one bidder, the Ketchikan Pulp & Paper Company, a newly formed affiliate of the great Puget Sound Pulp & Timber Company. A month ago this concern also took an option on a pulp mill site six miles from Ketchikan, where their first pulp mill is expected to start. It will take two years to build the plant. It is expected that more plants rvill follorv, and a great new industry will be built on Alaska forests. The timber just being sold is ideal for making rvood pulp.

Government figures shor,v that there is about 14 billion cubic feet of commercial timber available in Alaska, and the step just taken follows years of thinking and planning in this direction. Previously there had been no bidders for this timber.

This first sale is timber on a strip 300 miles long in the Tongass National Forest, near Ketchikan.

Bcrbecue For Coqst Counties Declers

The third Annual Barbecue of the Coast Counties Dealers has been planned for Saturday, August 21, at the Salinas Golf Club. A gala afternoon and evening of good sport, good food and good fellorvship have been lined up.

"A new high in wholesale service operations" is the promise behind the announcement that Building Material Distributors, Inc. has moved its San Jose warehouse operations from 668 Lincoln Avenue to, a new locatiqn at 582 Stockton Street.

According to F. M. Riley of the San Jose branch, the new warehouse location has perfect trucking and parking facilities and should result in faster, easier movement of materials.

"Our invitation to inspect the new distribution center on Stockton Street will show retailers that henceforth they can expect a new high in wholesale service operations from an even more complete stock of quality merchandise," 1\Ir. Riley concluded.

Building Material Distributors, r'vith main offices in Stockton, also distributes out of Stockton, San .Jose and Fresno rvarehouses to cover all of Central California and Western Nevada.

Awcy From Farm Trend

Far reaching in its implications for the hornebuilding industry is the long-term trend of families away from rural areas into non-farm communities. In the last 60 years, the Housing and Home Finance Agency points out, the percentage of farm families has declined steadily from 38 percent to 17 percent and the trend is not believed to have run its course.

Lumber Personalities L. t. (tes) GARR

Lester J Carr, general manager of L. J. Carr & Co., wholesale lumber distributors, Sacramento, and president of the newlyformed Sacramento Plastics, Inc., has had an interesting career. He started in the lumber business in Chicago in 1923, but soon decided to go u'est, and came to Pine Ridge, Oregon, where he worked in the sawmill of Forest Lumber Company until March, 1928, learning the lumber business. He then began selling the trade in California and Oregon and became sales manager for Forest Lumber Companv- This concern quit operating in 1932, and Mr. Carr then entered the wholesale lumber business in San Francisco. ln 1934 he became sales manager for Buzard-Burkhart Lumber Co., pine manufacturers.

In May, 1936 he formed L. J. Carr & Co. in San Francisco, and in 1937 moved his headquarters to Sacramento. In 1938 he formed a partnership with P. V. Burke and G. J. Thompson of the Sacramento Box & Lumber Co., and since that time L. J. Carr & Co. has handled the sales of Sacramento Box & Lumber Co. In 1940 Mr. Carr established the Mount Hough Lumber Co., with sawmill at Quincy, Calif., and this mill was sold in October, 1946.

In 1943 Mr. Carr entered the Army and served for,three years, retiring with the rank of Major. He organized the Covelo Lumber Co., after coming out of the Army and is vice president of this company which has a mill at Covelo, Calif.. and will build a second mill in the near future.

Mr. Carr is married, and has two charming daughters. His hobby is aviation. He learned to fly about 20 years ago, and took up flying again a few years ago. He norv flies a Beech Bonanza, a 4-place ship with a cruising range of. 170 miles per hour. When he visits the mill of the Covelo Lumber Co. he makes the trip in 50 minutes from Sacramento. The driving time to this mill is just five and a half hours. A pretty good argument for flying !

Socialized Housing Goes To Vote in California November 2

The movement to bring socialized housing into existence under Government operation in the State of California, comes to a focus when "Housing Amendment of 1948" goes on the official ballot November second as "Proposition No. 14." fts sponsors secured over 227,AOO signatures and thus qualified to be voted upon in regular election by the people of California. The move in this direction has been under way for the past several months, and now comes to a head, and California will vote whether or not we will have socialized building under Government operation.

The purpose of the "Housing Amendment of 1948" is (1) to provide 100,000 new rental units in California through the efforts of local housing authorities with the assistance of a state housing agency; and (2) to rent these units below the prevailing rates for standard accommodations to individuals and families that cannot afford housing currently available through private endeavor."

It is planned to create a revolving fund of $100,000,000 through a state bond issue, and an assistance fund of $25,000,000 to be made available annually by the state from its general revenues.

The lumber dealers and other professional builders of California are lining up right now to fight this proposition and try to beat it at the polls. The Northern and Southern lumber dealer associations are taking the lead in the fight. They take the stand that private industry is rvorking to full capacity, both labor and materials are being fully utilized, and no public agency could do anything but harm the situation and retard building, in addition to creating another huge bureau to prey on the public. The new prop' osition gets most of its backing in Southern California. Lumbermen generally are confident that the "Housing Amendment" wduld retard building and hurt the cause of home building on sound and economical basis.

Government Reports on Plywood Production

The Bureau of the Census reports that during the month of May, 1948, plywood production was estimated at 150,-7l7,Om square feet, the lowest month of the year to that date. The April production was 164,%2,W. Heavy floods in a large part of the plywood area was blamed for the decrease.

Many Hoo-Hoo Delegates Will Come to Convention Early

and Stay Late

According to report hundreds of lumbermen and ladies from all parts of the country who are heading for Los Angeles to attend the annual Hoo-Hoo Convention September 6 to 9, are going to make the trip their summer vacations, coming early and staying late. This will give them the opportunity of not only attending the greatest HooHoo conclave in all the history of that historic order, but will also allow them to enjoy the wonderful vacation facilities afforded by the coast of Southern California.

The scenic drives from Los Angeles up and down the Coast both North and South, offer some of the loveliest summer scenery or, the entire continent. Visitors can drive into the mountains and throw snowballs. They can watch the Pacific waves splash the shores in a hundred different shades and colors. They can visit the far-famed movie studios, and all the rest of the movie-land called Hollywood. There are more interesting things to do, hear, eat, and drink in this territory in the summer than anywhere else on earth. The boating and swimming is wonderful. Days can be happily spent driving among the tens of thousands of magnificent and varied homes that cover the hills from Hollywood to the sea. World travelers proclaim the fact that the homes of this area put to shame in number and magnificence the homes of any other part of the

whole world. Visiting lumbermen can learn much about home architecture. There are magnificent golf courses everywhere, offering the visitors a wealth of sport. The days will be warm, the nights will be cool, and there will be grand vacation opportunities for all the visitors. And Del Mar, one hundred miles south, offers magnificent horse racing6daysaweek.

There will be an equal division of business and pleasure during the days of the convention itself. The Los Angeles committees are all ready to welcome a great host of visitors. D. C. Essley, 9A9 South Atlantic Boulevard, Los Angeles 22, is the man who heads all the arrangements. A great time is coming.

Expcnsion Program

Youngs Bay Lumber Co., Roseburg, Ore., announces a $375,000 expansion program which will include eight Moore cross-circulation dry kilns, cooling and drying sheds, and installation of an automatic sprinkler system. The last four dry kilns are expected to be finished by January l, 1949, while the cooling shed is nearly completed now. Construction has not yet started on the drying shed. H. N. Jacobsen, superintendent, says that the sprinkler system will protect the entire layout.

Revised Lumber Production Figures lor

Douglas Fir Region for 1947

Revised lumber production figures for the Douglas fir region lor 1947, just completed in a mill-by-mill survey, show a sharp increase over previous unofficial estimates, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. The region's 1505 sa.ivmills last year cut 8,749,028,n0 bd. ft., and Simpson estimates an output in 1948 at least equal to last year's cut.

Official production figures were contained in a pamphlet just released by James Duncan, in charge of statistics for WCLA, which includes a detailed breakdorvn of the Douglas fir industry by counties and states, analysis of comparative output since 1925 and other important data.

Roy Stcnton, Sr.

The California Lumber Merchant proudly announces its indorsement of Roy Stanton, Sr., of Los Angeles, for the high post of Snark of the lJniverse when the September election comes round. We think he is an ideal man for the position. His magnificent ster,r'ardship of Hoo-Hoo here in the great Southwest during the past year, shows the kind of a leader he is. He has the ability, the time, the means, and yields to no man anywhere in his love for Hoo-Hoo. California is the leading state in the Hoo-Hoo universe, and Roy Stanton is greatly esteemed in California HooHoo circles. We are for him-strong.

National Annual Awards for Lumber Programs

For outstanding service to the commur-rity and the industry, through their public relations programs the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, \\rashington, D. C., is sponsoring the presentation of annual an'ards to lumber and building material dealers. The follo'iving rules for the contest harre been announced;

Purpose of Awards in Field of Public Relations

(a) To focus public attention upon the outstanding services.performed bv luml>er and building material dealers through their public relations programs. \\/inners of such arvards l'ill be the subject of local newspaper articles, national ne\\'spaper articles, national magazine articles and trade press articles.

(b) To focus attention of allied building industry groups upon the practical public relations being performed by tl-re distributors in local communities and by example to encourage manufactttrer-builder-contractor participation in such local campaigns.

(c) To provide dealers n-ith good practical examples of public relations; to point out some of the means of developing an active and effective public relations program in their orvn localities.

No one can escape public opinion. The state of your public relations is either good or bad. Good public relations consists of accluainting the general public n'ith the true facts and correct information abottt your business; creating favorable opinion and ready acceptance of your organization and industry.

A single act, depending upon the viervpoint, can be construed in different u'ays. (For example, a man hitting his 'lvife on the back because she is choking might be said to be beating his n'ife by a casual observer.)

How Yard Public Relations Programs Are Entered

Public relations programs of lumber and building material yards can be entered in three \\rays :

1. A yard rvith a public relations program can send its entry, including photographs, documents (advertising, publicity, sample letters, etc.), the storl'of the purpose of the promotion, methods used and hon. thel' t'orked, clirectly to the Director of Public Relations, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

2. The Editor of any Trade Journal in the field may stimulate the entry of any dealer's program r,vithin his kno'ivledge, or rvhich he has published during the period between NRI-DA Annual I\Ieetings, or n'hich he plans to publish.

3. The staffs of any Federated Associations may submit entries of yards in their own areas tvhich they belier.e from their experience and first-hand knon'ledge are n.orthy of prize-u'inning arvards in the public relations field.

Prize-rvinning entries ltecome the property of the NRLDA, but as far as is practicable, these entries u.ill be made available for Association meetings, to the Trade Press, ancl to other gatherings, through the Director of Public Relations.

The stories of the prize rvinners rvill be made available to all elements of the press.

Awards Will Be Given in fihese Classes

There u.ill be seven classes of entries and one plaque rvill be an'arded in each class. The first five classificatious are based upon population figures found in the RandMcNally Atlas. All entries should be made for a single specific location or torvn.

Judges

The atvards l'ill be made and prese-nted each year at the Annual Meeting of the National, beginning with 1948. The judges for 1948 u'ill be the editors of the nine trade journals listed belorv :

Ed Gavin, American Builder; Art Hood, American Lumberman i Jack Parshall, Building Supply News; Walt Grinols, Mississippi Valley Lumberman; Bill Parsons, Southern Lumber Journal; Stanley Horn, Southern Lumberman ; Donald Moore, Southern Bldg. Supplies; Jack Dionne, The California Lumber Merchant, and The Gulf Coast Lumberman; Charles Hestwood, Retail Lumberman, Dexter Johnson, Western Building.

Preparation of Entries

One copy of the manuscript explaining the problem, the solution, and proof of effectiveness of the public relations program must be sent to the NRLDA office at least 25 days before the opening of the National Meeting. In the case of 1948, this means that manuscripts will have to be at the NRLDA office, 302 Ring Building, Wasl-rington, D. C., by October 15.

Only one exhibit of photographs, documents, advertising, displays, etc., used in a yard's public relations program need be prepared and the rvinning entries will be on display at the NRLDA Annual Meeting in Miami, Florida,

The actual judging of manuscripts rvill ,take place in Washington, D. C., approximately two weeks before the Annual Meeting, and the u'inners of awards will be notified so they can be present to receive the awards in person at the Annual Meeting before the Board of Directors.

Entries, of course, n'ill be grouped into appropriate classes. A1l, entries shall bear a clear designation of the organization that prepared them.

PAB Line Asks Subsidy On South American Shipping '11

San Francisco, August 3. Pope & Talbot, Inc., has submitted to the X{aritime Commission in Washington, D. C., its final brief supporting the parity subsidy application of its subsidiary, Pacific Argentine Brazil Line, which operates large C-3 type vessels from Pacific Coast Ports to the East Coast of South America.

The Pacific Argentine Brazil Line is the pioneer shipping line in this route, originally established in 1926 by Pope & Talbot. For the 14 years prior to World War II, the P A B Line handled over two million and a quarter tons of southboirnd and northbound cargo. This year it is estimated that the total outbound movement from Pacific Coast Ports rvill reach approximately 600,000 tons of freight rvith over 850,000 tons forecast tor 1949. The basic reason for this high tonnage shows that the West Coast, because of its tremendous industrialization during and since the 'war, is now in a position to compete with the East Coast in, supplying types of merchandise required by South America. The P A B Line served 285 shippers in 1939 and today has 580 shippers, which reflects .itself as keeping in step rvith the 4O/a increase of population in the last seven years in the states of Oregon, Washington and California and its now 14 million people.

According to Executive Vice President Chas. L. Wheeler, the parity subsidy, asked for by the Pacific Argentine Brazil Line, is allowed by our government as an offset to lorver operating costs enjoyed by foreign lines and is.the only way that our merchant marine can carry on against foreign competition. Four foreign-flag lines also operate on this route.

"The issue before the commission," says Mr. Wheeler, "may u'ell reduce itself to whether the P A B Line should be driven out of the route by denial of the parity subsidy support, the result of which would almost certainly guarantee the increase and firm establishment of foreign-flag operation and rveaken the American Merchant Marine.,'

Silver Falls Timber Compcrny Mill

Prepcres lor Long LiIe

The Silver Falls Timber Company, at Silverton, Oregon, closed its big sawmill three years ago for want of timber, and supposedly closed dorvn for good. Now it is being renovated and improved and prepared for a lumber term of life.

The properties were bought early this year by the Oregon Pulp & Paper Company, of Salem, Oregon, r'vho also acquired some large stands of timber within reach of the mill. Now they are operating the sawmill while giving it a general overhauling and rebuilding. The mill is a very heavy-duty band that cuts logs up to 8O feet in length, and it used to cut about 250,000 feet of lumber in a single shift. From now on it rvill cut about 150,000 feet per shift. A new resaw is being installed, and the mill brought up to date. Paul Leadbetter is local manage:.

Housing Proiect Planned

M. Penn Phillips, president of the Omart Investment Company of Azusa, Calif., announces plans for the immediate start of a 550-unit lorv-cost housing development on the site of the old Crestmore Ranch in Bloomington. Ultimate cost'of the development may approach $5,000'000.

An initial unit of 100 homes will be erected, the rest to follow according to the rapidity of sales.

The project will include one, two and three-bedroom homes. The one-bedroom structures will sell for less than $5,000. Mr. Phillips said, while those with two bedrooms will sell for less than $6,000, and the three-bedroom units rvill be priced at under $8,000.

Dahican Lumber Compcny Formed to Build New Philippine Mcrhogcny Mill

The Dahican Lumber Company is a new corporation created by D. C. Maclea, of Baltimore, which is preparing to build a large mill in the Philippines to manufacture Philippine Mahogany. The new concern has taken over, 'ivith the permission of the Philippine government, the Dahican timber concession formerly operated by the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific Company, of Manila, before the war. The Japs took over the properties when they moved in, the mill was destroyed by fire, and now it will all be rebuilt. They have ordered machinery for a mill that should produce 22 to 28 million board feet of lumber annually. The rebuilding and re-equipping of their logging railroad system is now under way, and they expect to be shipping lumber into the United States shortly after the first of the coming year.

More New Plywood Plcrnts

Scarcely a month passes without announcement of new plywood plants coming into existence. The past twelve months has seen more new plywood plants start, than in any previous five year period.

The Hardel Plywood Company has started operations at a small new plywood plant at Olympia, Washington.

The Menasha-Coos Head Plywood Corporation announces plans for a new plywood plant to be located at North Bend, Oregon.

The U. S. Plywood Corporation has transformed its green veneer plant at Mapleton, Oregon, into a complete plvwood unit.

Don't Fool Yourself

All persons do not love liberty more than anything else. The philosopher observer is astonished constantly as he notes the number of men and women who surrender freedom because something else is more precious to them. You will find them in religious organizations and in political parties. You will find them in every walk of life. If you think the American is a true lover of liberty, tell, if you can, why he continues to demand that the State take away more and more of his liberty? Why does he demand special privileges, bonuses, social security, and all the rest of the benefits of bureaucracy if his liberty holds first Place?

-Thomas Dreier

Doubter

Wife (reading Spanish history): "John, it says here that those Spanish hidalgos used to think nothing of going a thousand miles on a galleon."

Husband: "Ar.. nuts ! I never believe half I hear about those foreign cars."

The other driver jumped out and together with Mac took a survey of the situation, in the course of which Scotty gave him a good snifter from his bottle.

"Ayr," said Scotty, "but no' till after the police have been here."

Sayings of the Druid Taliesan

LiIe Has Loveliness To Sell

Life has loveliness to sellAll beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Climbing fire that sways and sings, And children's voices looking up, Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sellMusic like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit's still delight' Holy thoughts that star the night. -Anon.

Not I

Preaching interminably on the immortality of the soul, the parson said: "I look at the mountains and cannot help thinking, 'Beautiful as you are, you will be destroyed, while my soul will not.' . And then I gaze upon the ocean and cry, 'Mighty as you are, you will eventually dry up, but not I'."

Frcnklin's Loan

I send you herewith a bill for ten louis d'ors. I do not pretend to GIVE such a sum; I only LEND it to you. When you shall return to your country with a good character, you can not fail of getting.into some business, that will in time enable you to pay all your debts. In that case, when you meet with another honest man in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he shall be able,'and shall meet with such another opportunity. I hope it may thus go through many hands, before it meets with a knave that will stop its progres{i. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money. f am not rich enough to afford MUCH in good works, and so am obliged to be cunning and make the most of a LITTLE.

Fight Against Forest Firag Told In New Radio Drama on NBC

SCHAFER

Taking to the air in helicopters and airplanes is one way the U. S. Forest Service fights forest fires in California. Now it is taking to the air on NBC western network in an effort to stop fires before they start.

"Forests Aflame" is a new radio series at 8:30 p.m. every Friday, starting July 30 on NBC stations in 11 western states. This public service program of the National Broadcasting Company and its affiliates, in cooperation with the U. S. Forest Service, aims to reduce man-caused fires by re-enacting true stories of adventures in the lives of forest rangers.

"Ranger Bill" and his young assistant, Jerry Pine, will be central characters of the outdoor story dramas. In the opening broadcast, a forest fire corners the ranger and his crew, but he brings them out alive.

The U. S. Forest Service reports that carelessness caused three of every four forest fires in California .last year. The year's toll was three firefighters dead in action; nearly 7,000 fires, and 424,0N acres of land burned over. Fire prevention agencies are urging care with ma-tches, "smokes" and campfires in the outdoors.

W. C. Bartlett, of A. C. Thatcher Lumber Co., Redding, Calif., has contributed some interesting clippings to our "do you remember" corner. Clipped from the Redding Record-Searchlight, one is a picture taken in 1896, of a train of 11 Sugar Pine logs, the butt log measuring 9 feet, and the last 1og,5 feet. The 11 logs milled 38,000 feet of lumber, 85 per cent of which was shop or better. The log is thought to be one of the largest Sugar Pine logs ever cut in Northern California. A couple of other pictures depict lumbering methods of 40 to 50 years ago, showing the teams of horses and oxen used then. Some of the lumbermen shown in the old photos are Jim Glassburner, Gorham Flood, Ben Copper, Harvey Pritton, George and Niman Flood, B. B. Brown, Johnny Flick, George Peck, Doc Young, Fred Klemmer, and B. H. Startt, first r,r'hite child in the Fall River area.

Ncme oI New Floor Tile Chcrnged

New York-The name of the new Johns-Manville floor tile is being changed from "Permalite" to "Terraflex."

This change is made because the word "permalite" is being used to describe products containing perlite ingredients. Although not in the same field, the prior use of "permalite" might create future confusion so Johns-Manville is adopting Terraflex for its plastic, asbestos floor tile announced on June 4, 19€.

The demand for Terraflex during the past two months has so far exceeded production facilities now in operation that distribution must be limited and Terraflex will not be immediately available in the Pacific Coast states.

New1948Standard Gradins Rules

For Southern Pine Lumber

New Orleans, La., July 26-Distribution will be made this u,'eek of the new 1948 Standard Grading Rules for Southern Pine Lumber, according to A. S. Boisfontaine, secretary-manager of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau. These rules which are to become effective on September 1 will take the place of those that have been in effect since 1939. It is indicated that the new rules represent a decided improvement over the old ones and will better serve the needs of retailers and of lumber buyers generally.

"fn the 1948 edition," Mr. Boisfontaine stated, "every effort has been made to simplify the language and clearly state the intent of the rules. Many of the changes that have been made are based on recommendations of both wholesalers and retail distributors. There is now included in the rules for the first time a definition of random lengths, which offers additional protection to lumber buyers. Among the other new provisions are grade and size standards for OG Batts, bed slats and No. 3 lath. In a number of items, the general quality has been improved."

As far as grading classifications are concerned, the most important change in the 1948 rules is in relation to 2', dimension. Four grades of Southern Pine dimension are provided, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4. No. 1 and No. 2 are both stress grades, being entitled to stress assignments of 1450F and 1100F respectively. The stress rating for No. l dense and No. l longleaf is 1700F;for No.2 dense and No. 2 longleaf, 1250F. These strsss ratings are primarily of interest to engineers, but it is believed that the development of the higher grades on a basis that enables the assignment of definite working stresses will help the retail distributor in those areas where the FHA span tables or building code requirements cause this to be an important consideration. It is felt that the ne.r,r,' classification on the whole will provide a better quality of Southern Pine dimension.

The ne'iv No. 2 grade has to be medium grain (at least 4 rings to the inch), and requires smaller knots on the edges of the piece. It is a decidely better product than the No. 2 of the past. The new grade of No. 3 dimension is much more restricted than under the 1939 rules, for it not only includes some of the lumber that has heretofore been classified as No. 2, but prohibits much of the low-line quality that was previously allowed in No. 3. This new No. 3 dimension grade does not permit waste, and definitely limits the size of allowable defects. It also allows much less scantness. It is believed that it will be used both in the industrial field and for the framing of small structures. No. 4 provides for waste of not more than one-fourth the length of any piece and has a rather liberal allowance for scantness.

According to the Bureau, the ideas of retail distributors played an important part in the development of the new No. 2 dimension grade. Dealers all over the country reported that dimension cut from fast-growing coarse-grain timber is unsatisfactory and urged that a limitation of at least four rings to the inch be included in this specification. The Bureau states that dimension produced under the new No. 2 grade will not only be less inclined to crook but will be a superior and more merchantable product from every standpoint.

The new rules also include for the first time a grade description for "D" finish, covering the quality that has been generally sold in recent years as "D" finish, or finish droppings. There are new length and bundling provisions for end-matched flooring, which also apply to other endmatched items. The percentages of short lengths that may be included in random length ghipments have been slightly increased.

Mr. Boisfontaine indicated that the initial distribution of the 1948 edition that is being made includes manufacturers, wholesalers. commission men and retail lumber dealers throughout the Southern Pine consuming territory. Extra copies are available from the SPIB at 25c apiece.

FHA Data Sheets on Subdivision Exhibits

Commissioner Franklin D. Richards of the Federal Housing Administration has announced the publication of data sheets on subdivision exhibits for incorporation in local editions of FHA Land Planning Bulletin No. 3, "Neighborhood Standards." The new data sheets are intended to help subdivision sponsors and their technicians in preparing exhibits which will permit the FHA to render more rapid service on proposed residential developments.

Development sponsors t'ill find in the neu' data sheets a description of the advisory services available to them from the FHA, and of subdivision exhibits rvhich may be needed at various stages of planning. Also they will find suggestions through which they may obtain maximum benefits from their expenditures for technical assistance.

Land planners, engineers, and other technicians will find that the illustrations and check lists in the new data sheets are useful aids in the preparation of drawings and documents of the type needed by clients rvho utilize FHA mortgage insurance services.

The suggested procedures and technical data in the data sheets have been derived from extensive experience with proposed land developments under widely varying conditions. They are designed for maximum flexibility to meet local conditions and may generally be adapted to r,vhatever conditions pertain to a specific development under consideration.

These procedures and data in some cases may be helpful to local planning officials in preparing and administering their regulations controlling land development. They are

generallv adaptable to the procedures customarily found in local subdivision regulations and may be used by local authorities as a basis for their own procedures. Where local procedures vary widely from those generally used by the FHA, the FHA will cooperate with local officials in adopting procedures which are mutually satisfactory. Copies of the ner,v data sheets on subdivision exhibits may be obtained on reouest to local FHA offices.

Housing Shortcrge World-Wide

World War II destroyed the equivalent of 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 d'ivellings. But this represents only about 15 to 20 percent of the total world housing shortage. From reports anall.zed by the Housing and Home Finance Agency, it is estirlated that in Europe and Africa, destruction of houses totaled about 13,000,000 d'rvelling units. In Asia, the war damage accounted for a loss estimated all the u'av from 7.000.000 to 17.000.000 homes.

Willicm S. Haner

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Jaly 27-William S. Haner, for 13 years a member of the Western Pine Association's promotion staff, died suddenly last night at the age of 58.

He was born in Idaho Oct. 19, 1889 and was educated at schools in Kingston and Harrison, Idaho. Af.ter 12 years as an accountant for several Oregon sawmills, he joined the association in 1934 as a field auditor, leaving in 1935 for a post as auditor for the Hines Lumber Company at Burns, Ore.

Mr. Haner re-joined the association in 1936 and in the following years represented the organization in Spokane, Chicago, Washington, Portland and Los Angeles. During the war he worked with the War Production board on Western Pine matters.

Mr. Farrish had been associated with operation and ownership of the Lincoln lumber firm for the past 12 years. He was president of the Intermountain Logging conference, a director of the Pacific Logging Congress and a member of the Western Pine association Forest Practice committee of Waghington.

Mr. Farrish is survived by his widow, Marjorie, and two daughters. Services were held in Spokane today.
