Enioy Cruise in No*hern \(aters Shipments to California Ports For July

Five lumbermen, four of them Los Angeles men, returned early last week from an unusual and enjoyable vacation spent cruising in the calm waters of the Inland Passage.

The Los Angeles four, Art Penberthy and M. W. (Mike) Crook of Tacoma Lumber Sales; J. H. Prentice, Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills, and Paul Hallingby, Hammond Lumber Co., flew to Seattle where they were joined by Jack Frost, assistant manager of Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills, Bellingham, Wash.

The cruise, made on the Diesel-powered yacht Pagan, loaned by its owner, T. A. Peterman of Peterman Mfg. Company, Tacoma, for the voyage, was made from Seattle, occupied seven days and the distance covered was 600 miles

The return trip to Los Angeles was also made by air.

Lumber deliveries by water to California ports in July as reported to the Pacific Lumber Carriers' Association, San Francisco, totaled 8O,46I,2W feet, compared with 75, 3I7 ,W feet for July, 194O. The figures for the various ports are as follows:

Tentative Fir Price Schedule Presented at Portland bv OPACS Official

Acting under Leon Henderson, chief of the Office of Production and Civilian Supply, Peter A. Stone, of Washington, D. C., presented a tentative price schedule on a lower level tharl current quotations for certain classifications of Douglas Fir, at a hearing held at the Multnomah Hotel, Portland, August 20.

The hearing, one of the first of its kind to be held away from the national capital, was conducted by Mr. Stone and Henry S. Reuss, attorney assigned to the lumber division of OPACS.

Mr. Stone prefaced his presentation of the tentative schedule with the statement that a ceiling on mill prices of Fir was being considered as a means to prevent inflation.

Mr. Reuss said the price schedule will affect only sales from mills, and that mills are defined as places where 25 per cent of the lumber used is planed or otherwise processed.

The new prices, if ordered by Mr. Ifenderson, will become effective on September 15, he said.

After quoting the proposed prices Mr. Stone selected a committee from the lumber industry in Oregon and Washington to put together a price schedule. He announced that he and Mr. Reuss would remain in Portland for two days and then return to Washington, study facts unearthed at the meeting and then make recommendations to Nfr. Henderson.

Several hundred lumber manufacturers and wholesalers were at the hearing and many of them took part in the discussion that followed the presentation of the tentative schedule.

A number of manufacturers said that labor, stumpage and production costs have increased to such an extent that it would be impossible for the industry to operate under the rate proposed by the government.

Many of the speakers presented statistics to substantiate their arguments against the schedule, and Mr. Stone asked that the figures be submitted to him for further consideration.

Mr. Stone said the price administrator will make the final decision on what ceiling u'ill be established and added that the schedule orobabh'would not be released for at least a week.

NEDWOOD HEADOUARTERS

The dumb dora who read about "unoccupied France', and wanted to know where all the people had gone, must have been related to the "Cajen" Frenchman in New Orleans who said he thought the sorry fix in which the French find themselves serves them just right; they should have stayed in Louisiana where they belong.

And then, of course, ;r..J" the army chaptain who was amazed at the chorus of "Amen" that rolled up from the assembled regiment lvhen he prayed: "Oh Lord, give us good hearts ! Oh Lord, give us clean hearts ! And Oh Lord, give us sweet hearts !"

"I'll telt you what "r-;;rie is," said Brigadier General James A. Ulio, of the United States Army. "ft is when a soldier thinks his army is the best in the world, his regiment the best in the army, his company the best in the regiment, his squad the best in the company, and that he himself is the best damn soldierman in the outfit."

**t<

Many words are being printed right now on the subject of morale in the United States Army. Many magazines report that the soldiers are "griping." My friend, Lloyd Gregory, has the best summing up of that proposition I have heard. He says a soldier that won't gripe, won't fight; that griping, ("bleeding" they call it nowadays) during the First World War was the sign of a good soldier, but did not make him less a fighter. Lloyd says that in that war they griped eternally, griped about the food, the drilling; the officers, the army in general, their best girls at home, and everything else they could think of. But they were grand fighters. Don't worry about a little soldier griping, he says.

The crop of really ,o"J, :i* from the army camps this time, is disappointing. During the First World War the funniest stories in history fairly boiled out of the army and navy, and were on every tongue. f often think the world will never last long enough to produce so marvelous a crop of soldier stories again. And they are just as funny to me as they were twenty-four years ago. ***

Remember the priceless story that everyone told at that time, of the Jewish soldier who lay mortally wounded, and

asking for a Rabbi. In battle the nearest available clergyman offers spiritual aid. In this case the only clergyman available u'as a Catholic priest. He knelt at the side of the dying boy, and ssid-"9e11, do you believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost?" "Look," said the Jewish soldier. "I'm dyin'an'he asks me riddles."

*t<*

At the beginning of the draft for that war, the story of the colored boy who refused to join the cavalry, became a national laugh. When the enlisting officer asked why he refused to'sign up with the cavalry, he said: ,,Cap'n, de cavalry may be all right fo' some purposes, but when dey soun' de retreat an' mah time comes to leave. Ah don'want to be bothered wid no hoss."

Another favorite -." .rl" :":** the ambulance coming back from the front filled with wounded soldiers. a Red Cross nurse-a very pretty one in charge. As they rode along one of the boys said: "Nurse, you're hurting my hand." Surprised, she said: "Why, I'm not even touching your hand." "Sure," said the soldier boy. "That's what hurts."

*t*

Personally, I loved a story (and have never stopped telling it) about the colored soldier who was so desperately seasick, going over in the troopship. One of his squad hurried down to his side and said, "Mose, come up on deck. Dey's a big whale right close to de ship." Whereat the seasick one ansurered: "Ah ain't comin' up to see no whale, an' lemme tell sumpin'boy! Don't you call me ergin ontil you can show me a post-oak tree !" ***

Johnny Burk loved to tell the story about the time he, a buck private, and a certain Second Lieutenant, were courting the same French girl over there. One evening they both met her at the same time. Johnny Burk had been eating Limburger cheese, and reeked with the odor of it. The Lieutenant had some French perfume on his handkerchief, and was very conscious of it. When the three met, the French girl, smelling the Limburger, snified suspiciously and said: "Who smells like that? The young officer, conscious of his perfume, said: "I do.". She said, .'Then f'm

going with Johnny Burk." They walked off and had gone a quarter of a mile when she turned to Johnny Burk and said: "You know, I can still smell that Second Lieutenant."

If I had a dollar ,o, "*'J, O-. ,'t" told the following, I would be in Henry Ford's financial class. A colored soldier, who had been desperately seasick all the way across the Atlantic, heaved a great sigh of relief when he set foot on French soil, and remarked aloud: "Men, Ah ain't nevah goin' t' cross dat awful ocean no mo'." "But," said one of his squad, "how you goin' t' git back to Texas?" "Dass easy," replied the other. "I'm goin'back BY WAY OF NE\V AWLEANS.''

Fromer Leonard t"il" o'JnJ".l" n.on.rred recently, when a very dumb rookie who had volunteered was signing up' and answering the medical examiner's question. The doctor asked: "How are your bowels?" The rookie said"they didn't issue me none." The doctor said: "f mean are you constipated?" The rookie 53id-"lrfa1s, I enlisted." The exasperated doctor said: "What's the matter with you? Don't you know the King's English?" The rookie said"They tell me he is, but I ain't sure."

J. M. Carson Pasges On

John Milton Carson, president and general manager of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, Eureka, Calif., passed away at his home in Eureka on August 25. He had suffered for some time from heart trouble but in spite of this had been active in business and was at his office almost daily up to within a few days of his passing.

Mr. Carson was known throughout California and the West as the dean of the,Redwood manufacturers and his death brought many expressions of sorrow.

He was a man whose kindly disposition earned him the friendship of all with rvhom he came in contact. The success of the company which he managed has been largely due to the friendly spirit and cooperation existing between management and employes.

He was born in Eureka in 1865. His father, William Carson, who came to Humboldt County in 1851 was the founder in 1863 of the firm of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, and was one of the first lumbermen to operate in Humboldt County.

Mr. Carson took over the management of the company at the death of his father, about D years ago, and was active in company affairs ever since. He supervised the construction in L924 of the modern electric sawmill the company now operates.

He was an ardent sportsman, maintaining a fishing lodge at Klamath Glen and was considered an authority on fish and their propagation. He also had a hunting lodge at Fieldbrook.

Mr. Carson was a member of Humboldt Lodge, F. and A. M.; Humboldt Chapter, R.A.M.; Eureka Commandery, Knights Templar; a life member of Islam Ternple, and a life member of Eureka Chapter, Benevolent and protective Order of Elks.

Surviving are his 'rvife, Mrs. Mary Bell Carson, of Eureka; a daughter, Mrs. Clarence LaBoyteaux of Nevada Cit1,, Calif.; a grandson, Ellsworth LaBoyteaux of Eureka. Funeral services were held on Wednesdav, AugustZT,in the Christ Episcopal Church, Eureka.

Below is reprinted in full an editorial which appeared 'in The Humboldt Times, of Eureka, in the issue of August 26:

Eureka Loses Real Man by Death of J. M. Carson

"In the death of J. M. Carson, Eureka has lost a helpful and far-seeing civic leader, the Redwood industry has lost one of its best executives, and hundreds of Humboldt county residents, from the highest-placed business associate to the lowliest employe, have lost a beloved friend.

"For nearly 30 years following the death of his father, William Carson, he was the head of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, and he added to its reputation as an efficient producer, a large employer of labor, and a leader in developing the industry's reputation for fair, enlightened dealings with its men.

"Like his father before him, the high place he enjoyed in the hearts of Humboldt residents as a leader of industry is deserved and secure.

"But Milton Carson will not be remembered chiefly for the modern electrical mill that he built, the number of men he employed, the billions of feet of lumber he contributed to the state's development, nor the millions of dollars in wages that he paid out. You can't tell the story of a life as warm and varied as his lrith statistics.

"He will be remembered as a man who loved life, as a man of warm human sympathies, as a hunter and fisherman, as one who loved and respected other men and was loved and respected by them. He was not one to strike poses, and he would have squirmed under a fancy name like philanthropist, but no man was more ready than he to give quiet help to those who needed it.

"His passing severs one link with the colorful past of this community, for he was a native of Eureka and was associated with this city throughout his active life. But his memory will go on, and it will be an inspiration to all vvho knew him, on and on into the future."

National Incomc Continues to Rise

Advancing for the fourth consecutive month, the national income produced in the United States rose in June to a new high peak for the current movement, according to the Alexander Hamilton Institute. The national income in June amounted to $8,200,000,000 as compared with $7,908,000,000 in May and with the 1940 high of $7,983,000,000last October. The national income in June was 38.4 per cent larger than in the corresponding month last year, when it amounted to $5,926,000,000.

Preliminary information indicates that the national income showed a further expansion in July. Prices continued their upward trend, there was a seasonal increase in the shipments of farm products and industrial activity was well maintained. The outlook is that the national income will continue to rise until the usual seasonal curtailment in the shipments of agricultural products occurs in November.

This prospective expansion indicates that the national income during the last half of 1941 will be larger than during the first half. The national income during the first six months amounted to W3,642,ffi0,000 as against $34,530,000,000 in the corresponding period last year, an increase of 26.4 per cent. If the expected expansion occurs during the last half of this year, the annual national income in 1941 may exceed $90,000,000,000 as compared with $76,035,000,000 in 1940. The national income this year will thus be considerably larger than in the predepression year ol 1V29, when it amounted to $83,365,000,000.

Leon Henderson Fixes Ceiling Price on Yellow Pine Ellective September Fi fth

Announcement came to the lumber industry on August 16, lg4l,that Leon Henderson had set a ceiling on the price of Yellow Pine siding, ceiling, flooring, finish, boards, shiplap, fencing, dimension, and small timbers' The prices become effective September 5, 1941. The announcement brought notice at the same time that he was about to do the same with Douglas Fir.

While the official announcement from Mr' Henderson stated that the ceiling prices were a reduction of $3 per thousand feet on the items affected, Yellow Pine manufacturers figure it is a great deal more than that, although they do not generally agree as to what the reduction is' For instance, N". 2 Shiplap, which has always been used as a measuring stick for Yellow Pine prices has a ceiling of $26.50,

the market on that item is strong at $35'

The entire Yellow Pine industry is reported to be making strong protest, individually, of the ceiling' Throughout the Yeltow Pine producing states the lumber manufacturers and their friends are reported to be bombarding their representatives at Washington, and all other authorities there who might be interested, hoping to obtain u'hat they claim would be a more reasonable and equitable ceiling, if there must be one. They ask for postponement of the effective date in order to give them time to make better protest; they ask a ceiling more closely related to what they claim the present value of their lumber to be; they ask for a more tolerant administrator than Mr' Henderson in trying to handle the problem. One of the arguments frequently made is that if the proposed ceiling goes into effect it will curtail Yellow Pine production to a large extent at a time when production is greatly needed. The wholesalers of lumber are joining strongly in the protests and against the ceiling, claiming that it practically leaves them out on a limb, and without consideration of the fact that a tremendous amount of the Yellow Pine product is sold through wholesalers.

As this is written no concerted action with regard to the matter is reported. It will be noticed that the order affects all lumber sold AND SHIPPED after September 5, thus applying to any and all lumber that may be contracted for in the meantime, or that might have been contracted for at the time the order was written. Likewise, no differential is made between the product of the Long Leaf mills and of the other varieties of Yellow Pine.

The Yellor.v Pine ceiling order is titled "Schedule No. 19, Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply." It was sent out of Mr. Henderson's office in Washington, together with the following announcement:

Office of EmergencY Management

Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply

Prices of Southern pine lumber, which stands with Douglas fir at the top of the list of primary construction materials, are reduced roughly $3.00 per thousand board feet from recent high levels by Price Schedule No. 19 announced today by Leon Henderson, administrator, Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply.

Simultaneously, Mr. Henderson disclosed that ceiling prices for Douglas fir lumber, which is generally competitive with Southern Pine, will be established in the near future. A meeting to discuss such a schedule with representatives of the Douglas fir lumber industry has been called by OPACS for August 20 in Portland, Oregon.

The Southern pine lumber schedule will go into effect as of September 5, 1941.

Preliminary to its determination of ceiling prices, OPACS consulted with representatives of the Southern pine lumber industry at a conference on August 6, and subsequently met with numerous individual members of the trade. Discussions similarly were had with Government agencies concerned, including the Procurement Services of the War and Navy Departments; Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture; Federal Works Administration; Department of Commerce; Division of Purchases of the Office of Production Management; Department of Justice, and the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department.

Mr. Henderson stated that lumber prices have been a matter of serious concern to him for almost a year and have occasioned several wp,rnings against unjustified increases. Such stability as these warnings achieved was dissipated in June of the current year, when a new succession of price increases began. Prices of No. 2 common boards advanced from $22.00 per thousand board feet in July,I94O, to g30.00 per thousand f.o.b. mill, in July 1941. Today the cost of this and other types of lumber to the general public and to the defense program is exorbitant.

OPACS ceiling action, applied to the present annual scale of lumber buying, means a saving to civilian consumers and the Government of more than $20,000,000 a year. At the same time the Southern pine lumber industry is accorded a schedule of prices adequate to permit continued profitable operations.

The price schedule applies only to sales from mills or concentration yards. Wholesale or retail yard prices, currently inflated, are expected to fall into line promptly.

"If this does not occur," Mr. Henderson said, "the ceiling will be extended to cover all wholesale and retail sales."

Costs of finishing and dressing, as well as expenses of distribution, are reflected in the schedule. Because of this latter factor, it is expected that mills, will continue wholesalers' margins and other discounts now prevailing. Thus, present industry practices need not be disturbed.

Southern pine, sometimes called yellow pine, includes longleaf, slash, shortleaf, loblolly and several other species of less importance. Southern pine lumber is employed in all kinds of building construction and has an important use in the defense program, particularly for cantonments and defense housing in the South and East.

About 95/o of. Southern pine is cut in ten States: Alabama, Texas, North Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Virginia ranking in importance in that order.

The price schedule recognizes no difference between longleaf and shortleaf pine in the grades and types covered. Long and large timbers, which are usually made of the longleaf variety are excluded, as are certain other sizes. It is expected that the prices of these sizes will fall into line with the prices for the kinds and grades of lumber included in the schedule. Should this not follow Mr. Henderson stated, the schedule will be extended to take them in.

Maximum prices are established for siding, ceiling, flooring, finish, boards, shiplap, fencing, dimension and small timbers.

Top prices that may be charged for siding range from $20.00 lor (' drop, plain end, to $47.00 for Grade B and better bevel-siding. Ceiling and flooring lumber, vertical grain, has a maximum price of $6O for Grade B and better, plain end, with a range downward on lower grades. Endmatched ceiling and flooring, vertical grain, is given a top price of $52.50 for Grade B or better with similar differentials on lower grades. Flat grain ceiling and flooring goes down from a top price of $43 on Grade B or better.

"Finish," a high grade Southern pine generally stocked by lumber yards for clear shelving, panelling, etc., has a price range for standard lengths in the schedule of $51 to $70 for Grade B and better, and 947 to 958 for Grade C. all in widths of 3" to l7'.

Boards, shiplap and fencing come in three base grades, known as 1,2 and 3 common. Maximum prices in l, x C,, 14' lengths, are 931 for No. I grade and $26.50 for No. 2 grade. The No. 3 grade, random lengths, has a price range of $16 to $21 based on width.

Ceiling prices on "dimension" lumber, using 2', x ('s as the most representative type, range from $28.50 for No. 1 grade down to $26 for No. 2 grad.e in 10,, 12, and 14, lengths. Random lengths in No. 3 grade have top prices of from $18.50 to $20.00.

Small and utility timbers are priced from $26.50 for 3,, x 4" No. 2 grade in 12' to I4t foot lengths up to $42.50 on No. 1 grade 8" x 8"s in 18' to 2O, lengths.

Announcement is made that the annual convention of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California will be held at Hotel Del Monte, Del Monte, Calif., on October 30, 31 and November 1.

A program of great interest to the dealers has been planned. details of rvhich will be announced later.

Moved to Garland Building

Hallinan I\{ackin Co., Ltd. recently closed their warehouse and yard in Los Angeles and moved their office to the W. M. Garland Building, ll7 W. 9th Street, where they will conduct a general wholesale lumber business.

R. H. Fleming is manager of the office. Elmer Williams, formerly with W. E. Cooper, Los Angeles, has been added to the sales staff.

Just Wonderin'

I wonder if you are sometimes tantalized by half forgotten things-broken bits of verse, illusive strains of melody and stray fragments of old songs you once loved to sing. I am.

They come quite unbidden, these little waifs from the past, to flit through memory's echoing halls and taunt us with our inability to fit them into once familiar patterns or restore them to the structures from which thev have so wantonly escaped.

One day when I failed to recall the title of an old song, which there was every reason for remembering, I composed a few lines made up of song titles I had not forgotten, and kept them at hand-just in case.

I submit these lines to you. Now when you wish to sing old songs take out this list, select a favorite of other days, recall the words of two or three stanzas, and of course the tune, and lift up your voice in song.

Oh, Where is the Old Oaken Bucket, Ben Bolt?

Said Bessie the Maid of Dundee, When they met on the Trail of the Lonesome Pine, In the Shade of The Old Apple Tree.

Alice, Where Art Thou? said Old Robin Grey, To Genevieve, After the Ball;

While Rory O'More and Peggy O'Neil Kissed. Over the Garden Wall.

Then fair Annie Laurie met Robin Adair

On The Bridge, neath The Mistletoe Bough, "There's a Light in the Window, for me," he averred, "But, I'm Far From Me Hame, dear, just now."

The Mocking Bird warbled a lay Sweet and Low, In the Gloaming, they rambled along; Mid Moonlight and Roses, much later they paused At the sound of the Whippoorwill's song.

My Grandfather's Clock told the hours'as they passed, Three O'clock in the Morning, f fear, Late so Late for a maid to be out In The Long, Long Ago, so I hear.

The Blue Bells of Scotland were ringing that night, Little Buttercup winked at Our Jack, Dear, fond, foolish songs, Forgotten, you're not, For I hear You Calling Me Back. -A.

Northern Calilornia District Office o[ F. H. A. Has 7 -Yeat Mortgage Total o[ $s00,000,000

Five hundred million dollars ! That's the figure chalked up on the FHA scoreboard this week, while the Northern California district office of the Federal Housing Administration observes its seventh anniversary.

The amount represents home mortgages selected for appraisal and loans insured for the repair and modernization ,of existing buildings within the 46 counties of the district since the first loan was insured here seven years ago.

The FHA district office was opened August 16, 1934, with a staff of three. D. C. McGinness, present district director, was one of the original trio, then serving in the capacity of assistant. Since that time this governmental agency has served 273,235 individual families with a total volume of $5n,238,597 invested in better housing in this area through the facilities of FHA.

Mortgages were selected for appraisal on 98,033 small homes in Northern California for a total of $44O,375,50O. An additional 2263 low-priced houses were built under Title I, the FHA 1S-year plan, at a cost of $5,413,300, and since last April, when the FHA defense housing amendment became effective, mortgages amounting to $2,797,2ffi have been selected on 732 homes now being built in designated defense areas under the recently enacted Title VI.

Under the property improvement credit plan, through which FHA insures loans for the repair and modernization of residential, business, industrial and farm structures, 172.207 local loans have been insured for a total of W,652,597.

No government funds are involved in this substantial investment in better housing, it was pointed out by Mr. McGinness, since FHA does not lend money, but insures loans made by local approved lending institutions.

Indicative that the brisk home building program in this district is going forward with ever-increasing momentum is the fact that during the first seven months of this year more homes were built under FHA inspection and construction requirements than during the entire tr,l'elve months of any year, except 1940.

New homes built under FHA inspection in Northern California are shown by mortgages selected for appraisal to be:

In addition, Mr. McGinness said, mortgages aggregating $179,797,ffi were selected on 42,M1 existing clwellings in this district.

"The latter group," he explained, "includes many instances in which the old style multiple mortgage plan of financing has been supplanted and the entire indebtedness against the property included in a single, long term FHA insured mortgage. This practice not only is possible, but desirable, when the borrower's equity in the property amounts to 20 percent or more of the actual appraised value."

Surveys conducted by the Federal Housing Administration indicate that housing conditions still are cramped in a majority of Northern California's rapidly growing communities, especially in defense industrial areas, and vacancies in rental multi-family dwellings are reported considerably below normal.

DUNNING SAYS - -

James Marion West, of Houston, Texas, died suddenly in Kansas City, Mo., where he was on a business trip. He was reputed to be the wealthiest man in the entire South. He made a great fortune in the sawmill business, invested heavily in the retail lumber business, then made a fabulous fortune in oil. He still operates many lumber yards in Texas under the name of The South Texas Lumber Company. He operated sawmills in East Texas from 1890 until 1941, more than a dozen big mills in all, and made a success with every one of them. In the last ten years he made one oil strike that is reported to have brought him thirty to forty millions of dollars. IIe was probably the richest individual lumberman in America at the time of his death. He was likewise one of the biggest land and cattle owners in Texas. He was 70 vears old.

FHA Loans Increage

Washington, Aug. 25.-The Federal Housing Administration reported today that all but 10 states increased FHA insured home building activity during the first half of 1941.

The Redwood Lounge is declared to be the most striking of the many interesting {eatures of the recently dedicated $650,000 Hotel Florence in Missoula, Montana. Located on the site of tu'o former ones destroyed by fire, the new Florence is seven stories high and contains 14O rooms, all air-conditioned. The hotel takes its name from the mother of L. C. Hammond, president of the Hammond Redwood Company.

Designed by Gardner Dailey, noted California architect, the ultra-modern cocktail lounge of the hotel is completely finished with California Redwood.

Sidewall surfaces of the modern styled Redwood Lounge are covered with plain Redwood shiplap, smooth surfaced, applied vertically, and done in one of the many possible finishes available to bring out the natural "sunshine" tones and beauty of the grain. A very attractive reeding effect is obtained on the front of the bar through the use of standard Redwood half-rounds. The wall at the end of the room opposite the bar is treated with a checkerboard effect through use of Redwood veneer. Behind the bar, a rare, beautifully polished section of a Redwood burl, seven feet in diameter. lends distinction to the decorations. Modern styled chairs and tables of the lounge are effectively set off by the latest thing in floor coveringfluorescent carpeting.

Southern California Builders Finding Greater Range o[ Uses lor Ponderosa Pine

Pressure of national defense on the lumber supply and a brisk building market are serving as joint introductory cards for wider uses of Ponderosa Pine in the Southern California building trades. That is the conviction of W. A. (Bill) Constans of Klamath Falls, Oregon, sales manager of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's mill at that point.

"The keen competition for lumber has stimulated build-

'ers to use increased ingenuity," said Mr. Constans, following a recent personal survey in which he gave particular attention to the Los Angeles area. "Although Ponderosa Pine has proved its merits in the lumber markets of the world long before now, f was interested in learning that many builders and contractors and carpenters have in recent months made use of this versatile lumber for the first time. f guess all of us tend to become fixed in habits and custom, but it is in times like these that we have to use greater ingenuity to keep going. Very often this break from usage and custom has its benefits."

Mr. Constans inspected a wide range of residential building running all the way from expensive residences individually designed by architects to multiple dwelling rental projects and minimum cost subdivision developments.

"I noticed that Ponderosa Pine doors, both interior and exterior, were being installed in a great many new residential units," the mill man said. "I talked with a number of carpenters, some of whom had never worked with Ponderosa Pine doors until recently, and all were enthusiastic about the ease with which the doors could be fitted for hardware because of the soft, even, grainless texture of the wood. The same enthusiasm went for the painters, who, in their case, remarked that Ponderosa Pine because of its light color could be covered with one less coat of paint, and further because of the smooth milling of the lumber they were able to get an unusually fine finish."

Mr. Constans was particularly impressed by the amount of wide Ponderosa Pine siding now being used in gable ends and other partial wall applications to provide pleasing contrast vrrith stucco.

"I made particular note," he said, "that many retail lumber dealers are now stocking small amounts of Ponderosa selects for general pick-up use and that the same held true for siding, both bevel and pattern numbers. In many cases these items were new to the dealers' inventories, but were being ordered to meet the widening demand for these better grades upon the part of contractors and builders.

"However, such increased stocks were not confined to

Pine Sales Gompany

Stcnding-f. B. (Iack) Bishop, Asgistcrnt Sclee Maucger Seqted-W. A. (Bill) Congtcrng, Scles Mcncger

the finer use items. I noticed in some industrial buildings the use of l2-inch common boards for the decks on built-up roofs and also found an increased interest in the lower grades for sheathing and other rough uses. That, to any Ponderosa Pine man, is not surprising because of the utilitarian uses of the species he has knowledge of in other parts of the country. It just happens that in the Los Angeles area Ponderosa is now being put to many new uses for the first time.

"The nationally known 4-Square brand of Weyerhaeuser is getting increased recognition in Southern California," Mr. Constans stated, "and f am particularly impressed by the growing number of requests for dry lumber from both dealers and builders. Many things happening in this defense program are putting new emphasis on dry lumber and what happens in defense building is quickly reflected to private building. I have no doubt this greater interest in dry lumber is one of the reasons why Ponderosa Pine is winning so man)r new friends in Southern California."

50th Annual Hoo-Hoo Convention to bc Held Odtobor 8-10

The Sfth annual convention of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo will be held at the Arlington Hotel, Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas' on October 8-10.

Approximately 11150,000 Families

Acquired Homes in 194O

Chicago, August l.-Between January I, 1940, and June l, 194L, approximately 1,150,0@ families in the United States secured themselves against rent rises in the changed national economy of the '4O's by acquiring homes of their own. This is the estimate of the home building and home owning committee of the United States Savings and Loan League which takes into consideration the new one-family homes built, the approximate number of those newly purchased in the period, and one-half of the residential units created by the building of two-family homes.

Fermor S. Cannon, Indianapolis, chairman of the League committee, points out that these far-seeing families have obtained for themselves fixed shelter charges averaging between $25 and $30 a month for the next twelve to fifteen years. This monthly payment covers interest on the financing of the newly bought home, systematic reduction of the principal amount of the loan, and provision for taxes and, hazard insurance in advance. In view of the fact that all home loans provided by savings, building and loan associations are made on a monthly amortized basis and those made by agencies which insure the bulk of their loans with the FHA now also follow this original savings and loan pattern it is assumed that the great majority of those acquiring homes in the last year and a half have them on the monthly repayment plan.

A significant step-up in one-family home production was

already under way as a result of a combination of circumstances when the international situation took a turn for the worse in May a year ago and brought the United States square up against the necessity of going into a defense economy, Mr. Cannon said.

"From May, 194O, the threat of the rising cost of living became more and more apparent to the general public so that the acquisition of homes increased its momentum," he recalled. "The rush to avoid normal rises in shelter costs will undoubtedly continue to be reflected in increased home building until such time as the defense program calls for a cessation of some of this activity, a condition which is now expected. After that rve will see an even larger rush to buy existing houses."

Mr. Cannon pointed out that approximately 42 per cent of the savings and loan money being lent today goes for home purchase and about 32 per cent for loans to home builders. Since these institutions provide approximately a third of the home financing in the country today it is assumed that a cross section of the purposes for which they lend is typical of the entire field.

In regard to the increasing demand for purchase of homes he pointed out that the properties owned by the associations since sometime in the 1930's have become many a person's security against rising shelter costs in the last several months. During the year 194O, a typical group of associations disposed of 20 per cent of the real estate which they had owned at the beginning of the year and private owners acquired more than 2O per cent of the real estate owned by savings and loan associations in l5 states during 1940.

Builds Rowing Shells of Fir Plywood

Tacoma, 'Wash., August 16.-Here's a new trvist to plywood !

Perhaps it should be tabulated as the one thousand and first application for the material which heretofore has been listed as the "wood of 1,000 uses."

For with the utilization of a steam iron, some strips of rubber from tire inner tubes, a few carpenter's tools and a lot of ingenuity, Crew Coach E. A. Stevens at Oregon State College (Corvallis, Ore.) has formed two rowing shells of the rigid panels.

They are the first such craft ever built of fir plywood. And in molding the r/s-inch, three-ply panels over the framework, Coach Stevens accomplished what some people had believed dififrcult if not impossible, he shaped the pl1'1ys6d into compound curves-bent the sheets in two or more directions.

What ultimate effect these new style shells will have on collegiate rowing not yet has been determined, but it is certain that all crew men at OSC rate the ne'iv boats as "tops." After trial trips on the Willamette River, both the oarsmen and Mr. Stevens joined to say the boats are just what is wanted because they are "stable vet fast."

And the coach judged the shells not only by rvatching their "run" in the water, but also by the "feel" of the boats as he, too, pulled on a stveep.

Norv 56 years old, Coach Stevens' collegiate rowing days are back more than 30 years when he was a varsity oarsman at Cornell. But only a few minutes after his plywood shells hit the water he foresook his coaching launch to test the needle boats.

When he turned to building plywood shells this spring, there were three basic reasons for choosing the laminated material rather than the narrow cedar boards with rvhich the conventional boats are planked.

First, he needed boats that r.'i'ould stand the gaff. While OSC crervs don't draw national attention, there are more students actively participating in the sport there than at any other school in the nation. With 200 youths rowing and rvith very ferv boats to use, the shells at this school take a terrific beating.

Coach Stevens decided that plywood, which is virtually puncture-proof, would best withstand the abuse dealt out. If the boat does plow into a river snag hard enough to damage it, it is a simple matter to fit in a plywood patch rather than replace a plank as is necessary in other boats.

Strength of the plywood shells was proved even before they were finished. The light boats (less than 200 pounds when full rigged) were juggled around by two men-one at each end. This is just one stunt not tried rvith the conventional shells because the lack of intermediary support may cause the "back" to break. Ihe little matter of cost contributed torvard selection of

Top: Ironed to fit, the rigid plywood pcrnels were shcped into compound curves by usiag Mrs. Stevens' home sieorn iron. Bottom: With the "skin" or plcnking in plcce, Coqch Steveng mqde sure the pcrnel ioints were flush belore vcrnigh wce cpplied lor the IiniEh.

plywood for the OSC boats. Total cost of materials for each of these boats .ivas about $5O. The coach and the students built the entire shells including outriggers, seats and other fittings. To purchase a new shell of the conventional type would cost about $500.

Third element considered rn'as the amount of equipment needed for the work. Only simple hand tools and no elaborate forms were required for building with plywood, the coach stating that he could completely plank one of these plywood shells in about four days or in about one-third the time it would take him to do the same work with narrow planking under comparable conditions.

This is the method followed: A small rotary saw was used to cut the plywood pieces to fit vvith two panels (enough to plank a fourth of the hull) coming from each 4 by l2-foot plywood sheet. The piece was then clamped

in place and literally soaked with water. Then the panel was "ironed" with a home steam iron while pressure was brought to bear by pulling on the large rubber bands.

After each sheet was formed, it was glued to the ribs; nails were applied as an added bond. Only seams in the hull are the three around it and one down the center. The simple butt-joint was used with waterproof glue between the panels. One shell was finished with three coats of gym floor varnish; the other was given three coats of a sealer. That's the story of the world's first fir plywood racing shells. They are to be used primarily for intramural races at OSC, at which school the sport of crew is staged in a unique way.

There's another singular aspect to rowing at this school. Coach Stevens is the only one in the nation who builds his crew's shells.

Los Angeles, August 22.-"The continued steady flow of applications for FHA mortgage insurance on proposed new homes into the local office indicates that the present active rate of construction in the small-home field will continue for some time," said W. G. Bingham, district director of the Southern California district in his weekly report on FHA activities.

20 miles from Los Angeles. Good living conditions. Thirty-five years under one owner. Will lease ground (two acres) and buildings for any desired term, for $100 monthly plus taxes. Inventory $10,000. See Twohy Lumber Co., Lurnber Yard Brokers, 801 Petroleum Bldg., Los Angeles. Telephone PRospect 87+6. Total Title

During the first two weeks of August, 1756 small-home mortgage insurance applications, with a dollar value of $7,651,100, were filed with the local office, 114O of which num= ber, valued at $5,109,500, covered new homes to be built under FHA inspection. IJnder Section 2O3 of. the National Housing Act, 218 of the applications, valued at $981,65O, were for homes constructed before applications for insurance were made and 398, with a value of $1,559,850, were presented under Title VI of the act.

These figures represent a slight increase over the twoweek period just preceding, which reflected a t733 intake, at a value of. $7,D52fi.

FHA's Title VI program, consisting of defense housing mortgage insurance in areas designated by the President, maintains a fairly consistent average throughout. A bill is now before Congress whereby it is proposed to increase the original amount of $100,000,000 appropriated for the Title VI program, to $300,000,000, which will be of interest to the builders and home owners throughout the district.
