Where Wood lIeeds lrom DECAY and TERMITES

Here's the right answer to wood decay and termite problems-WOTMANIZED PressureTreated Lumber. It means better buil&ngs for your customers, and additional, profitable business Ior you.

Penetrating preservative solutions are forced by vacuum-pressure treatment, deeply into the wood fibres of WOLII.,ANIZED Lumber, to provide lasting protection under comrnon conditious such as these:

l. Where excesgive ground moislure, rain or thaws cause early decay lailurea.

2. Where wood near the ground ia open to termite attacks.

3. Where wood is in contacl with danp concrete or masonry.

4. Where steam and water vapor hom induebial ' processes promote wood decay,

5. Where walls, floors, ceilings are subiect to con' densation from refrigeration.

6. Where wood is erposed to moisture in artificially humidilied buildings.

PE yOV AND P/IVS vOAn CASTOIWEES

...

Investigations by qualilied technologists prove that on installations where water, moisture, guick condensation and termites ordinarily shorten lumber life, WOIMAIiIZED Pressure-Treated Lur"ber lasts THREE TO FwE TIMES TONGER than untreated wood. And, only WOII{A}IIZED Lumber is clean, odorless, paintable, non-corrosive to metal, nonleaching and glueable.

While the Preacher Prayed (I

got this one from my old friend Marshall Terrell, of San Antone.)

Ffe was the pastor of a small church in a small town in East Texas. It was one of those jobs where the pay was mostly "rashuns," and even to get that much the preacher had to do a lot of rustling himself.

One Sunday morning he faced his congregation in the church, and his face looked mournful, and his voice was likewise. He said he had a very serious announcement to make. He had received a call to preach in a big church in the big City of Dallas. They offered him a big house to live in, more salary than he had ever even dreamed of, and a big congregation to work with.

But, he said, he loved this little town, loved the people, all the men and women who had been so good to him, and

New Series oI Newspaper Mcrts Avcilcrble

A new series of newspaper mats is now available for lumber dealers wishing to advertise B'ruce flooring in their local newspapers to tie in with the national Bruce campaign which is currently appearing in The Saturday Evening Post, Better Homes and Gardens, The American Home and House Beautiful.

One column and two column mats are included on block, plank and strip floor's. Mats on Bruce finished floors are also in the series. These point out the advantages of factory finished flooring for both new construction and remodeling.

Dealers may secure a complete set of proofs by sending a card or letter to E. L. Bruce Co., Box 397, Memphis, Tenn. There is no charge for this material.

it would almost break his heart to leave. He had wrestled with the proposition, he said, and, having arrived at no conclusion as yet, he had made up his mind to leave it to the Lord to settle. Right after services, he said, he was going home to pran and what the Lord told him to do, he would do.

An hour later Deacon Jones passed the preacher's house, and saw the preacher's little boy playing in the front yard, and this conversation ensued:

"Li'l Mose, is you' Marnmy and you' Pappy home?"

"Yassuh, dey's home."

"What's you' Pappy doin'?"

"fle's prayin'."

"An' whut's you' Mammy doin'?"

"SHE'S PACKTN'."

Combincrtion Counter Displcry and Scmple Box

This new sales tool is now being offered to dealers who handle Johns-Manville building materials. It is a compact sample box when closed. When opened, it is a counter display that takes up only one square foot of space. Inside the cover, which hinges back, is a full color illustration of a living room. This shows how a room will look after ceiling panels and wall plank are in place. An enlarged section of the lighting joint shows how nails are concealed. The box contains two samples. One is a ceiling panel in ivory. The other combines parts of a plank in graytone and a plank in rose tan joined together at the lighting joint. From these samples, customers can visualize finished rooms yet the whole display takes up only a minimur:r amount of a dealer's valuable space.

That couplet from Wiltiam of Avon comes to mind every time I read the words and opinions of economists; any economists. Sometimes I get to thinking that econornists are in the same class with psychiatrists and public opinion guessers' ;r * *

Back in my earliest days---and I made my debut quite some time ago-I was told that "an economist is a man who knows everything, and can't do anything." I have never had any real reason to doubt the truth of that bit of philosophy. I fear that economists are men who follow that line because they couldn't make a living any other waY' ,. rF *

And, in the last decade, the proof of that particular pudding seems to me to be overwhelming. Most of the economists we see quoted in the public press these days, are men with axes to grind. You want to prove that something you are boosting for is true, so you hire an economist to issue an opinion proving that you are right. ***

The other side of the argument hustles in with another economist hired to disprove your economist and your philosophy, and he looks at the same identical facts and issues a diamatrically opposite opinion. Opinions on any subject that can be hired a.re as worthless as a last year's birds nest. Yet in these strange times we are living in, economists dictums are relied on to prove and disprove anything under an. "tt. * * {<

For instance, in the present controversy regarding a proposed fourth round of wage increases, labor called in a nationally known economist. He said that industry could afford to pay the fourth round wage increase for the three million men affected, because such increase would increase the buying power of the entire nation and thus strengthen itSecOnOmy

Another economist came right along and said that such an opinion was ridiculous, because a wage increase for this group would increase prices to the entire nation and thus increase buyer resistance and buying power. He said that we must reduce living costs to all the nation, and that by so doing reduce buyer resistance, now so evident in all lines of business'

You pay your money and take your choice. Naturally,

I think the second opinion is the sound one. And get this picture: a man sat in a street car reading a newspaper. He turned to the man sitting beside him and said: "f see where they're asking for a fourth round of wage increases. Personally, I MISSED THE FIRST THREE." He was a white collar man, no doubt. The economists fail to mention him.

Along came a nationally known and highly successful businessman, and here is what he suggested we need right now to meet dwindling business: "Reduce prices as rapidly as. bossible, since lower prices stimulate buying. fncrease Shles and advertising to stimulate more business and greater emplo5rment. Bring out new products to increase public interest. Retain good relations with workers; this is no time for misunderstandings. Forego demands for increased pay at this time, and thus help restore public confidence. Bring down costs through efficiency on the part of all. Recognize the simple fact that the greatest security for the worker is a steady job at good wages." *{r*

A business man named Alexander Heron made a recent speech on our economic situation in which he uttered a thought that every man who works with his hands might do well to read, wtren he said: "The nr,ost skillful mechanic in the world cannot build and sell an automobile; management has the responsibility of combining his work with the work of thousands of others and with tools and design and advertising. Then the worker can have a sale for his day's work. If the man who works for wages can only understand that he must select some management to sell his time and skill to the ultimate consumer, he will lend his efforts to make that sale as easy as possible, as sure as possible, and as continuous as possible."

* {. :1.

What huge differences of opinion prevail about vital matters ! A highly successful California publisher and thinker named Manchester Boddy recently returned from a trip around the world. Returning he expressed the firm opinion that "world hunger threatens civilization." And at about the same time I saw in the newspapers pictures of mountains of newly harvested wheat, piled out in the open and in the weather, because there was no place else to put it. And at about that same time Secretary Brannan of our Department of Agriculture publicly suggested that we pay the farmers for raising potatoes, but don't harvest them; just let them rot in the ground. Mr. Boddy and Mr. Brannan should get together. Both, strange to relate, are New Dealers. Looks like if the world is threatened with star-

vation, intelligent people could find something to do with those potatoes and those mountains of wheat.

Speaking of food, an American journalist touring England, reported in his column that British housewives were being asked $g to $Z for a melon, $12 for a chicken, and $6 for a pound of grapes; two bits a grape. What a madhouse that Socialistic Bang* has made out of England !

No wonder the embittered and eloquent Churchill said in a recent speech concerning the Socialist Government: "They have squandered the reserves and resources which have been garnered in the past, and have darkened and narrowed the future of every man, woman, and child in this famous island." And he called on Britain to "return to a system which provides incentives for effort, self-denial, initiative, and good house*keeping."

Churchill pulled another remark that swept the world not long since concerning Sir Stafford Cripps, whose entire mode of living is at all times as filled with austerity as the British general progr:rm has become. Someone told Churchill that Cripps had stopped smoking, and he remarked: "There goes his last contact with the human race."

I read a Washington dispatch from the Wall Street Journal the other day that tickled me. It said that the Comptroller of the Currency had advised all bankers to use "prudence" in lending during this business dip. That would be new?

:F *

Can't resist the temptation here to tell the old, old story about the man whose back was badly bent from bowling, who limped into the office of a bank president and said, apologetically, "I'm a little stiff from bowling." The tough banker said, "Sit down, little stiff, I don't care where the hell you're from-what "T t_U"_"r you?"

My risibilities (laughter, to you Junior) were keenly roused also when I read where Cardinal Spellman charged that certain of Mrs. Roosevelt's writings were based on "misinformation, ignorance, or prejudice." Would that be new?T**

Right now our Govegnment is wrestling with another problem vital to every Artrerican, namely, shall we give the atom bomb secret to England and Canada? They practically demand it. With the Canadian question I shall not wrestle except to say that to give it to England would be to give it to Canada. But with England now under a Socialist government drawing constantly closer and closer to Communism, giving her the bomb today might be simply giving it to Russia tomorrow. The crisis now admittedly facing Britain could easily wipe out every sign of Democratic sovernment in a t:X lTt.

A smart Hollywood journalist who is strongly antiComrnie and who testified against the ten writers who refused to tell Congress whether or not they were .Com. munists, decided to find out how the American public feels about the movies, and why there is such a terrific slump

in movie revenues all over the country. For three months he traveled and talked to the man and woman in the street. For months he tried to tell his auditors that the great majority of movie folks are NOT tainted with Communism. And he says he was told a hundred times: "Maybe what you say is true. Maybe only a small minority of your movie people are Comrnies. But there is no way for us to separate them and say which is which. That's your. job, not mine. And, until you do something about it, I wiil stay away from moving pictures, and not permit my family to see them, either."

He found that the average American is highly critical of the movies. He pays high prices to help pay huge salaries to people who do not deserve them, many of whom embrace philosophies that endanger this nation. The present attitude of the public is thumbs down on the movie industry. **t

On August the 4th this nation, after three years of black ink bookkeeping, returned to deficit financing. It started with just a couple of hundred millions of dollars in new money. But it would be an optimist indeed who could doubt that it would soon run into billions. When Mr. Truman made the remark in a radio speech recently that he did not think much of people who were talking economy, he uttered the text of his entire administration. His customary "red herring" is now turning into "red ink," and it may be a long, long time before we see black ink on our national books again. Yet every member of Congress who will talk, testifies to the fact that the greatest interest of the American people today as proven by their mail from home, is economy. "Don't bankrupt our country" is what most men who write to their Congressmen are saying.

But we continue going deeper and deeper into the spend' ing morass. The laws of God, such as supply and demand and the various other old fundamentals, are up on the shelf with the cold pie. Men can run this country and this world better than Providence. Set aside all natural laws. Disdain all the old tried and proven methods of living. The government fixes everything, finances everyone'+**

I saw quoted the other day a Germanized bit of philosophy which they say is old in St. Louis, that says:

' "Ve get old too soon

Undt schmardt too late."

New Process lor Staining Shakes

Production of stained shakes by a new process in which brushing machines are used instead of the conventional dipping method has begun in the Skookum Shake Division of the Portland Shingle Company, it was announced by Al Schmidt, president.

These new brushing rnachines used in the process have been in the development stage fcr three years, Schmidt said. The first machine has just been installed and others rvill be added as demand- for the nerv stained shakes increases. Because of the brushing method of staining, the shakes are called, "Brush-coated."

Included in the process is a pentachlorophenol treatment r''i'hich makes the shakes impervious to moss, dry rot and termites, thus lengthening the life of the shake.

In the process shakes will be stained in 5 colors : g'reen, brown, gray, prime white ar-rd buff.

Schmidt believes this staining process, in keeping with the quality of natural red cedar wood, rvill produce one oi the finest shakes on the n.rarket.

Ponderosa Pine National Survey Reveals Trend in Decoration

What are America's favorite wall colors? Do homeplanners prefer natural wood finishes, stains and varnish or paint for doors and interior trim ? What color scheme is chosen most often for bedrooms and dining rooms ? These are some of the many questions asked by ponderosa Pine Woodwork in a recent nationwide survey to determine decorative preferences and trends.

One of the interesting facts revealed by the survey is that the geographic location of the respondents has a definite influence on their decorative preferences. For example, there is a strong preference for the natural wood look in the north central and western regions while the northeastern and southern regions tend to favor painted interior doors. Painted doors are preferred nationally for bedrooms, though responses from the north central region ran counter to national preference.

A distinct preference for pastel colors in wall decoration was shown by the survey. For the U. S. as a whole. painted walls are preferred for living room, kitchen anci halls, while wallpaper has a slight edge over paint for the dining room, and the two types of finishes are favored about equally for bedrooms.

The survey is part of the Ponderosa pine long range research program which seeks to keep the industry abreest of changing trends by conducting periodical surveys on a nationwide basis.

They Have To Be

'"Are our campaigners always good?" Asked little Jakey Story; "They have to be," sairl uncle Zeke, And waxed explanatory; "Now listen to me, Jakey dear, And I will make the reason clear.

"Now when a worthy man steps forth To labor for the state, His past is public property, His foes investigate; And if his record bears a stain, They search for it-and not in vain.

"FIe may seem weak and peaceful, As any woolley sheep, But if he ever harmed a friend Or failed a pledge to keep, There is no shadow of a do.ubt, But that his sins will find him out.

"The meddling voters will not let His past lie as it should, They magnify the ill he's done And overlook the good; And that's the reason, Jakey lad, Men can't campaign if 'hey've been bad."

"Singl" Package Private Housing" Bill Proposed by Senator Sparkman

Senator Sparkman, of Alabama, has introduced a bill, S. 2246 of 92 pages, in the Senate covering what he terms to be the desirable features of some dozen or more housing bills before the Congress.

His bill includes some of the major features of. 5.712, previously reported to you as a "private industry aid bill." The five main Titles of Senator Sparkman's bill and a brief description are as follows:

Title I

(1) Extends Title I of the National Housing Act until July I, 1952.

(2) Provides for new type of Title I, Class 3, insurance under a new Section 8 of the National Housing Act, with a $4,700 top mortgage limit, identical to the provisions as previously repoited to you in S. 7t2.

(These two things are generally desired by the building industry)

(3) Further increases Title II insurance authorizations by l% billion dollars and steps up the mortgage limits of Section 203 (b) (2) (D) loans to $6,650, and provides 95% insurance. An additional $950 may be added for each additional bedroom.

(4) Inserts a rlew Section 213 of the National Housing Act to take the place of old Section 207. The new Section would provide 100%,40 year,4/o interest loans not to exceed $9,000 per family dwelling for cooperative housing mortgage insurance.

(5) Extends secondary mortgage market provisions by exempting G.I. guaranteed loans and loans to cooperatives, rental housing loans and loans on lower-priced housing from restrictions which provided that only 50 percent of the eligible loans may be purchased from any one purchaser.

(6) Other provisions of incidental concern.

Title ll-Disposal of Lanham Act temporaries and permanents under conditions which would allow transfer of. 120 projects to the local communities for low rent housing projects. (32,000 units will become Government owned.)

Title III-Direct long-term loans for rental housing amount' ing to $1 billion for cooperatiqe housing and other nonprofit corporations, the mortgages to run for 60 years at 3 percent. (The start of direct lending by Government)

Title IV-Guarantees on G.L mortgages are increased from 50 to 60 percent, provided that the aggregate amount of the loan does not exceed $7,500. The present maximum is $4,000. (Repeals Section 505

vs1....s loan provision of Servicemen's Readjustment Act)

Title V-I-oans to educational institutions to finance dor= mitory and family dwelling housing accommodations, with a maximum maturity of 40 years and an interest rate of 27/2petcent. (300 million more of direct Government lending)

This is another omnibus bill, containing a combination of some features desired generally by the construction industry and other such as the initial proposal of the Federal Government to directly finance house and apartment construction. It is quite obvious that this bill will be strongly opposed by all the financial institutions and that a majority of its provisions simply go further toward placing the government in the home building business.

The direct lending provisions of this legislation are, of course, a result of the trend of which we have all been aware; namely, as long as the government guarantees mortgages, provides secondary markets why shouldn't it make the loans direct. This initial attempt at direct lending can of course spread and spread until the Government control of housing, construction and related industries, merchandising and marketing practices are complete.

There will be no hearings before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee; however, there will probably be hearings before the House Committee on Banking and Currency, but no schedule has been set.

Floyd Elliott Elected Mcryor oI Fcrirlcx, Ccrlif.

Floyd W. Elliott, well known San Francisco wholesale lumberman, was elected a member of the City Council of Fairfax, Marin County, by a 5 to 2 maiority, July 19, for a term up to 1952.

New Air Dog Control System Installed At Long-Bell's Longview Mill

valve inefficient. The poppet type may be ground for a perfect seat if becoming worn.

The piping rvas another innovation that Slaughter placed in the new control system. Instead of using the 16 wroughr iron pipes cf I inch size, lie put eight /s inch copper tubes in their place. The copper'tubing was not rigid and it took the constant vibration much easier. The wrought iroir pipe was found to be susceptible to the vibration and leaks occurred frequently at lhe threading.

One valve lvas assembled and placed on a trial run on one of the carriages in the Long-Bell east sawmill unit. The.valve gave a satisfactory performance, and with a few of the weak spots corrected ran for weeks without maintenance.

Proving the new type of control successful, he was asked by H. M. Cone, chief steem engineer, to build a complete control panel for the long side carriage in the west sawmill of the Long-Bell plant in Longview. After the assembly r,r'as completed and installed, all eyes of the millmen were fastened on the new contlol.

Longview, Wash.-Harnessed compressed air in a maze of pipes is the heart of nlany sawmills, and the maintenance of the compressed air systems is a big job in any man's sawmill.

Reuben Slaughter, pipe fitter for The Long-Bell Lumber Company, in Longview, has been charged with the air maintenance of the carriages in the large Longview mill, The air dog control systern was a headache and Slaughter decided to do something about it.

He had found, througir years of experience, that the wrought iron pipes connecting the dogs on the carriages and the controls were constantly breaking and giving a faulty performance. He also learned that the control valves were a frequent source of trouble.

Putting his 30 years of experience to work on the task along with his mechanical skill, Slaughter selected a filer and Stowell valve of the poppet type. This valve is similar to the valve used in automobile engines in that it employs the metal against metal to hold back the pressure. An older type plug valve was used previously to hold the 90 pounds of air pressure ancl the least bit of wear made the

Days grew into weeks a.rrd weeks into months with the control working far better than the old type. Maintenancc' rvas carefully checked anc! found the new type Slaughter control reduced the maintenance approximately 90 per cent.

Both carriages in the West unit at Long-Bell are nov' equipped with the controls and more are planned on othet carriages in the mill at future dates.

On Plumbing Fixtures

It seems necessary at this time because of competitive conditions to make a restatement of our policy as to the minimum standards for acceptability of plumbing fixtures installed in new properties accepted for insurance by the I-os Angeles office of the Federal Housing Administration.

Since these conditions no longer exist rve are notifying all oi the local supply-houses that the following minimum standards will hereafter be strictly adhered to.

1. A bathtub not less than 5' in length will be required in each property.

2. Minimum size of single kitchen sinks to be 24"x18"; when adjoining laundry tray 20"x18". Dual compartment kitchen sink 32"x18".

3. Kitchen sinks shall have acid resisting enamel.

4. Laundry tray minimum size 24'x12".

5. One lavatory 2U'x18", minimum size, will be required in each property.

6. At least five fittings shall be provided in each bathroom, including two towel bars, paper holder, soap dish and tumblerbrush holder.

The above minimum sizes are understood to be the nominat sizes known to the trade and quality shall conform to the applicable Federal specifications or Commercial Standards established for the type of fixture being considered. Vitreous china and pottery kitchen sinks are not acceptable.

Get Into Your National's Public Relations Contest

Washington, D.C., July 13-The passage of the public housing bill in Washington means that the lumber anrl building material dealer rvill be directly under fire from administration and socialist sources. Public relations i" more important to you now than ever before.

Here is a chance to publicize your public relations program both locally and nationally.

It was because of the real need for effective public re' lations programs to be conducted by retail lumber and building material dealers all r;ver the country that thc National Retail Lumber Dealers Association first initiated the Annual Awards in the Field of Public Relations program. The program acccmplishes a two-fold purpose by publicizing on a national scale the public relations work being done by individual dealers in small communities and, at the same time, making local news by providing awards to dealers for their outstanding public relations programs.

No matter how effective a dealer's public relations pro' gram may be locally, there is nothing which can increase its efiectiveness more than having the spotlight of nationwide publicity Tocused upc'n it. This is one way of impressing upon the people in your market area that yott are a wide-awake, progressive merchant who is interested in them and their welfare.

The Annual Dealer Awards in the Field of Publi'c Re-

THE MI RACLE LUSTRE FINISH

5. Yards in towns with populations of 10O,0OO to 500,000.

6. Yards in towns with populations of over 500,000.

7. Dealer Group public lelations programs.

They Are No More The Things We Know

(By Lucretius in The Vagabond)

No single thing abides, but all things flow. Fragment to fragment clings; but things thus grow Until we know and name them. By degrees They melt, and are no more the things we know.

Globed from the atoms, falling slow or swift I see the suns, I see the systems lift Their forms; and even the systems and their suns Shall go back slowly to the eternal drift.

Thou, too, O earth-thine empires, lands, and seasLeast, with the stars, of all the galaxies, Globed frorn the drift like these, like these thou too Shall go. Thou are going, hour by hour, like these.

Nothing abides. The seas in delicate haze Go off; those mooned sands forsake their place i And where they are shall other seas in turn Mow with their scythes of brightness, other bays.

Specicrlists

The city visitor stopped where a big lumberjack was polishing an ax blade. He said:

"f suppose you loggers are the orthodox type that love wine, women, and song?"

And the logger replied: "Not us, Boss. We don't care nothin' for music."

Whct For?

The Tennessee mountaineer up and got married. He built his new bride a cabin, and when it was completed he fetched her to come and give it the once over.

"Wall," said the hill-billy. "flow d'ya like yore new home, woman?"

"Not bad," she said, "but I don't see no door." He looked at her in amazement. "Door?" he demanded. "Yew plannin' on goin' somewheres?"

Thomas Moore Wroter

How still is the smile that no cloud can o'er cast, And a heart and a hand all your own to the last. Oh! What was love made for if 'tis not the same Thru joy and thru torment, thru glory and shame?

I know not, f ask not, if guilt's in that heart, I know that I love thee, whatever thou art.

Work Well Done

A great deal of the joy o! life consists in doing perfectly, or at least to the best of one's ability, everything which he attempts to do. There is a sense of satisfaction, a pride in surveying such work-a work which is rounded, full, exact, complete in all its parts-which the superficial man who leaves his work in a slovenly, slipshod, half-finished condition, can never know. It is this conscientious completeness which turns work into art. The smallest thing, well done, becomes artistic.-William Matthews.

Woodrow Wilson Once Scrid:

The great voice of America does not come from the seats of learning. ft comes in murmurs from the woods and hills and farms and factories and the mills, rolling and gaining volume until it comes to us from the homes of common men. Do these murmurs echo in the corridors of the universities? I have not heard them. The universities could make men forget their common origins, forget their universal sympathies, and join a class-and no class can ever serve America. f have dedicated every power I have in me to bring the colleges I have anything to do with to an absolutely democratic regeneration in spirit, and I shall not be satisfied. until America shall know that the men in the colleges are saturated with the same thought, the same sympathy, that pulses through the whole great body politic.

No Surplus

He had applied for a job, and had been told that the place was already over-staffed. "Sure," he said, "but you could still hire me. The little I do would never be noticed."

Unexplcdncrble

Philetas died in humiliation because he could not explain the following statement: "ff you say of yourself 'I lie,' and in so saying tell the truth, you lie. If you say 'I lie,' and in so saying tell a lie, you tell the truth."

A Mqtter Of Sole

The shoe clerk studied the narrow foot of the thin little man customer, a foot from which he had removed a wellworn shoe of E width.

He said "Good heavens, man ! You should wear an A width, not an E."

But the little man shock his head. 'tl'm a house to house salesman," he said, "and I find I can keep a door open just a little wider with an E."

100,000 Houses Started In June

Washington, D. C., July l5-Homebuilders scored a new record for this year by putting 100,000 new permanent nonfarm dwelling units under construction during June, the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. announced today. This preliminary estimate places June housing starts 5,000 above the May total and 2,200 above June 1948. Last year, a peak of 100,300 units was reached in May.

Preliminary estimates of housing activity for the first 5 months of 1949 show 450,800 new dwelling units put under construction, compared with 477,600 for the same period in 1948. Late reports of March 1949 housing activity have. raised the total for that month to 69,4A0, an addition of 7,400 units.

Included in the 1949 January-June total are 20,200 pub-. licly financed units, almost entirely State and locally financed. For the same months in 1948, publicly financed housing totaled 6,000 units.

A drop in 1-family starts accounts for the lower rate of home-building for the early part of this year. Apartment house construction is booming in most sections of the country, having been supported largely by the insured mortgage provisions of Section 608 of the National Housing Act. Comparing the first quarter of i948 and 1949, the volume of rental-type units (2-or-more family structures) is 4 per cent higher this year, but l-family starts are B per cent lower. On the basis of lo,cal permits issued, it appears that second-quarter data, when available, will show a much larger increase in rental housing.

Plywood Plants to Be Consolidated

Portland, Ore.-Plants of the Oregon-Washington plywood Corp., Tacoma, Wash., and the Nicolai plywood Co.. Garibaldi, Ore., will be consolidated at the Oregon site.

Directors of the Oregon-Washington Corp. made the decision due to lack of logs in the Tacoma area. Harry T. Nicolai, Portland, president of both firms, said the high cost of transporting logs to Tacoma from Oregon put that plant in a poor competitive position.

The Tacoma plant, first opened in 1926, had a 4 milliorr square foot monthly capacity. The Garibaldi plant has 3 million feet. It was opened several years ago. When combined, he said, the plant "will exceed five million monthly."

Mr. Nicolai said the consolidation, effective Aug. 1, wiil be completed in 90 days. The consolidated firm will be known as the Oregon-Washington Plywood Corp.

Dennis N. Slenning, who was in charge of the Tacoma plant, has been appointed vice president in charge of sales and will retain the general sales office in Tacoma. Theodore Nicolai, manager of the Garibaldi plant, has been made vice president in charge of productio4. W. W. Wilkinson, Los Angeles, is California representative.

Enlorcement oI Federcl Bent Control Will Continue Without Chcrnge

Washington, D. C., Julv ZS-Housing Expediter Tighe E. Woods said today that administration and enforcement of federal rent control wili continue without change, and that the decision in Chicag'o by U. S. District Judge Elwyn R. Shau' holding the Housing and .Rent Act of 1949 unconstitutional because of the "local option" provision will be appealed.

"Rights of tenants against eviction and overcharge, and rights of landlords under the'adjustment provisions of the Act, will continue as heretofore," Mr. Woods said'

"In other words, the Housing and Rent Act of 1949 is still the law of the land and will continue to be unless and until it is set aside by the Appellate Courts.

"In the meantime status quo will .be maintained in all areas and parts of areas still under federal rent control."

Joins Associated Molding Sales Staff New Specifications for Architects

Walt Ashmore has been appointed sales representative for Associated Molding Co. of Los Angeles, and will cover the northwest section of Los Angeles County, Santa Barbara and Kern Counties, according tcr Walter Decker. He has had about ten years' experience with Haley Bros.. sash and door dealers oi Santa Monica, plus his share o[ service with the U. S. Navy and Merchant Marine during the late war. He will handle mouldings, stock and special, as well as custom milling orders in his territory.

'Tlcrvesting Timber Crops"

"Harvesting Timber Crops" is a book covering all phases of harvesting timber, from preliminary considerations involved in planning and preparing for the actual harvesting steps, to cost controls and records. The final chapter, which is devoted to regional harvesting practices, was prepared by seven contributors, each exceptionally well qualified in his region.

The subject of timber harvesting is treated as an integral part of forestry, rather than as an independent pro,cedure. The treatment is not limited to logging, but covers the harvesting of all important forest products such as salv logs, pulpwood, poles, ties, and veneer blocks. Emphasis is placed on how operations should be performed for greatest economy consistent with good practices. The book rs well illustrated.

McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc., 330 West 42nd Street, Ner,v York 18, N. Y., is the publisher. The price of the book is $s.00.

Leonard L. Salasky, secretary-treasurer, David Ostin Moulding Corporation, Sacramento, recently left by plane for Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he will visit his family. On his return, Mr. Salasky will call on the trade in the Southern states.

Washington The first of a new series of Specification Sheets for architects, engineers and builders covering the application of Trip-L-Grip framing anchors at specific points in light wood frame construction has just been released by the Timber E,ngrneering Company, Washington, D. C.

The initial sheet illustrai:es the application of the anchors in attaching joists to headers and headers to trimers. It identifies the anchor mos: suitable for each location and shows how it should be installed.

Subsequent Specification Sheets, each covering another framing point, will be reieased each month. The series will ,consist of six separate sheets. Next in order of release are sheets illustrating the use of anchors in tying down rafters to walls, framing rough openings and tying roof rafters or purlins to roof trusses or beams.

Because they eliminate ledger strips, notching and toe nailing, and cost less than conventional hangers, the ne'r,r' anchors are finding rapidly increasing favor with designerr and builders. Their distril,ution is already national. They are stocked by 250 retail lumber merchants and are available through hundreds more.

Lcwrence Ottinger on Europecrn Trip

Lawrence Ottinger, president, United States Plywood Corporation, sailed for Europe August 5 on the Queen Elizabeth to make a study of foreign plywood and lumber facilities. He will visit London, Paris and other European capitals.

"We have large interests in French Equatorial Africa and the Belgian Congo," Mr. Ottinger said. "We are nol building a veneer mill at Lemba, Belgian Congo, in association with Societe Forestiere et Agricole du Mayumbe, to cut veneers from Korina and other logs which we have been importing for the past two years. We also have an interest in the world's la.rgest hardwood plywood mill now being constructed in Gabon province, French Equatorial Africa."

Mr. Ottinger added that his company's foreign activrties might be expanded, "if circumstances warrant."

Sugar Pine is botanically and physically a true White Pine.

New Olympic Handsplit Sid:ns

Bleachtox is not a pigmented stain, but contains special materials that r,r'eather the wood itself.

Olympic Handsplit Siding is reasonable in price, sayq Mr. Bailey, costing little more than ordinary sawn cedar siding. The texture obtained by the use of this custommade wood siding is impossible to obtain in any other material. The variations in butt thickness, and the roughness of the surface, gives an appearance that is exceptionally effective for many styles of modern architecture.

Terrible Twenty Golf Tournqment

The 278th Terrible Twenty golf tournament was held at the Virginia Country Club, Long Beach, Tuesday afternoon, July 26. The first prize went to Frank King who turned in a net 67. Art Harff won the second prize with a net 68. Burt Galleher sponsored the tournament.

The matter of playing Dubs, fnc., at Pebble Beach in October was discussed at the business meeting and was referred to the board of directors for decision.

Plcnt Swept by Fire

A beautiful new siding has been developed by Olympic (West Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle), a natural wood product that has a beautiful texture, an exceptionally rugged character and a heavy shadow line. Olympic Handsplit Siding is actually cut by hand with froe and maul from specially selected cedar trees. "This cedar is first split in thicknesses of I" to 2", in widths desired," says Philip W. Bailey, owner, "and then these same slabs are resawn to obtain a bevelled siding with a handsplit face and a resawn back, making it easier to lay. The butts of this siding will run lrom fu" to If" in thickness and the tapered edge 'rvill run down to %" in thickness. Lengths vary from 6" to 14', which takes the finest cedar available to cut this remarkable product."

To enhance the beauty of this Olympic Handsplit Siding, it is prestained at the factory in the finest quality Olympic stain, ranging from beachwood gray, seafoam g'reen, chamois, down through the California rustic and russet brown. A very unusual effect is acquired with the new Bleachtox treatment, a weathering agent that actually changes the color of the wood to a lovely silver gray color, much like driftwood on salt water beaches. Olvmoic

Friant, July 3O-Fire swept the plant of the Pacific Coast Aggregates Co. today rvith an estimated loss of $95,000. The fire started in the center of the recently remodeled plant.

Manager Jack Cassidy said the concern would rebuild the plant with definite plans to be made as soon as possible. Meanwhile it will continue to supply customers through reserve stockpiles.

"Quality First - Serving the BesI"

Mills Modeled in Miniature

Tacoma, Wash., August 4-Visitors to Weyerhaeuser millsites in the Pacific No:thwest now can preview their educational trips through the company's sawmills, plywood plant and pulp mills.

Plant models finished in wood have been installed for Weyerhaeuser guests at branch operations in Everett, Longview, and Snoqualmie Falll;, Washington, and Springfield, Oregon. These true-to-life miniatures give the vrsito: a bird's-eye view of how conveyor systems integrate advanced utilization plants for mrximum wood recovery.

The precision-built models are a special feature of the guided tours given daily irt Weyerhaeuser plants during the summer months and by arrangement at other times. They realistically duplicate processing facilities, including steamships at loading docks and tiny logs in ponds and on log hauls leading into sawmills.

Constructed on a scale of one inch to about 75 feet, each model is a self contained unit weighing about 70 pounds. The 3'x4' carrying case,8f" deep, converts into a displai' table by means of folding legs and can be readily transported in an automobile.

Model buildings, scaled from detailed drawings, are constructed of gumwood and l,oplar. One small building may contain 25 separate pieces. The Longview, Washingtorr model is made from over 3,000 individual wood pieces and is contained in three carrying cases.

Table and model bases are constructed from Douglas fir plywood and lumber. Ground areas are given a texture coat sprayed with earth-red colors. Water surfaces are similarly finished to create an illusion of depth.

Each model is equipped'with illuminated plexiglass signs on principal buildings, individually controlled from a master control panel on the case. In explaining tour features. the guide can "highlight" designated buildings for the benefit of guests.

Designing, engineering and model work for t,.e model plants was done by the Clifi Bach Studios of Tacoma, Washington.

Miniature ships are modcls of Liberty vessels which are units of the Weyerhaeuser Steamship Company's fleet.

The plexiglass signs fit into slots in the model base and transmit light from small lamps installed in the base. The lettering on the signs is tleeply engraved on the back of

the plastic and catches light coming up from the base. Each of the lights has an individual switch located in a grouped switch panel. There are 22 illuminated signs on the Longview model.

The models were built with standard work shop equipment. Machines used in fabricating the building units included a f" Homecraft Drill Press, an 8" Delta table saw, a 24" Delta jigsaw, a 7" Craf.tsman disc and belt sander. a Black & Decker hand drill. Handitools and a Genie Tool.
