How Lumber Lrooks

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported that lumber production during the week ended August 15, !942, was .4 per cent less than the previous week, shipments 4 per cent greater, and new business 2 per cent less'

During the week 443 mills produced 267,02I,W feet of hardwoods and softwoods combined, shipped 28l,96f.pffi feet, and booked orders of.271,765,ffi feet.

Lumber orders for the week reported by 361 softwood mills totaled 252,945,n0 feet, shipments were 267,762,W0 feet, and production was 255,040,000 feet. 97 hardwood mills for the week gave orders as 18,820,000 feet, shipments l4,n4,W feet, and production 11,981,0@ feet.

Seattle, Washington, August 14.-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in July (5 weeks) was l&,822,WO board feet, or 85.0 per cent of estimated capacity. Orders averaged 222,979,0n board feet; shipments, 193,875,000. Weekly averages for June were: Production, 176,608,000 board feet (89.7 per cent of the 1926-1929 avetage) ; orders, N8,425,W; shipments, 198,760,000.

Seven months of. 1942 cumulative production, 5,223,389,000 board f.eet;7 months 1941, 5,104,163,000; 7 months 1940, 4,295,832,m.

Orders for 7 month s of. t942 break down as follows : rail, 4,ffi,432,m board feet; domestic cargo, 632,977,000; export, 71,428,000 ; local, 77 3,084,W0.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 1,173,161,000 board feet at the end of July; gross stocks, at 622,377,ffi0.

West Coast lumber has settled into a long, hard grind of war production, and in this situation it is a good pattern of

what is taking place nationally in the war industries. The daily problem is, against growing labor shortages, to produce lumber items and orders required most urgently for war uses. These uses are taking practically all that undermanned West Coast sawmills and logging operations can produce. Until there is a decisive change in the situation' the war obligation of the West Coast lumber industry is to supply from its production the maximum'of the specialized items the Army and Navy require-stress timbers, aircraft lumber, battleship decking, timbers, decking and planking for Navy boats, and other high quality items on which war demand is more and more sharply focusing.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended August 15, 92 mills reporting, gave orders as 80,933,000 feet, shipments 92$45,0m feet, and production 96,815,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 442,664,W feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended August 15, Jb mills reporting, gave orders as 37971,000 feet, shipments 32,531,000 feet, and production 26,86O,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 173,719,0@ feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended August 8 reported orders as 152,785,000 feet, shipments 134,608,000 feet, and production \26,199,W feet. For the week ended August 15 orders were rePorted as 127,82,000 feet, shipments 132,761,W feet and production 126,159,000 feet.

TOR AGTION''

Lumber Pricins Outlined bv OPA

Washington, August lO.-Detailed explanation of the proper method of invoicing sales of lumber where an average price is bid on a number of items of lumber of different specifications was issued today by OPA.

"Where an average price is bid on an order made up of a number of items of lumber of different specifications the average price is computed by applying a price not in excess of the ceiling to the footage of each item called for in the order. When the order is shipped, it usually occurs that each car does not contain the same proportion of each item which the entire order calls for, and that some times the weighted average ceiling price for the lumber in a particular car is lower than the average price bid because of the high percentage of lower priced items in that car, While on the other cars the average ceiling price is higher than the bid price," OPA stated.

"Our answer is that if each invoice shows the footage, etc., of each item separately, and indicates that it is for a shipment which is part of a larger order (identified in the invoice)., and that the price shown on the invoice is the average price for the entire order, it is permissible to invoice at the average price. A proper way of indicating that it is part of a larger order would be to state on the invoice "shipment No. 3 of our order No. 4444 for 2,000,000 feet." It should be emphasi zed that each invoice must show the grade, size, lengths, species, point of origin of the shipment, etc., of the lumber actually shipped.

"fn all cases where the order does not call for a definite quantity of each item or grade or where the footage shipped varies even slightly from that called for in the order, the seller must render a final invoice to the purchaser showing the total footage of each item actually delivered, and adjusting the average price on the lumber actually delivered to an amount not in excess of the weighted average price permitted by the ceiling.

"fn a situation where the entire order on which an average price has been bid is delivered in one shipment, the seller must show the footage, size, length, etc., of each item separately as outlined above for larger orders. However, as pointed out above, this office has no objection to showing the entire shipment at an average price, which price of course must be adjusted not to exceed the weighted average price permitted by the ceiling on the lumber actually shipped."

(The following is the most famous letter ever written by a great war leader to a sorrowing mother. ft was sent by Abraham Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby, whose five sons had died in the Civil War; dated Nov.2l, 1864. In times like the present, such a letter is apropos.)

"Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice u.pon the altar of freedom."

Theodore Roosevelt.",J, J*J-an is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his body, to risk his wellbeing, to risk his life in a great cause." ***

Sophocles said: "\l[/'ar does not of choice destroy bad rnen, but good ever." The thoughtful of this world have long bewailed the unfortunate fact that war destroys, not the old and the worn and the less useful, but the young, the strong, the useful, with their fine lives and abilities still before them. But in war it has been ever thus: and ever will. be, it seems. ***

There is a famous old adage that it is better to build friendships than battleships. But Hitler and Hirohito cast aside that wise choice in favor of the battleships and the airships, and so the whole world has been obliged to make that horrid choice likewise, in self defense.

Heard an interestitg ail",rlriJn ,n" other day about the physical stature of military leaders, as evidenced by those occupying the spotlight in the warring world of today. The fact that Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and Churchill, who take the leading roles in Europe's mammoth struggles, are all

SMALL men, was the basis of the discuss-i,*n. Why are great military men so frequently of small trtature? Hitler is a little man, and of peculiar build. So is Stalin; short, more powerfully built than Hitler, but a small ntan nevertheless. Mussolini is short, but rather dtoclry. Churchill is short and rather roly-poty in physical construction, Napoleon was a very small man. Genghis Kahn ivas smaller than his average soldier. Does this prove anything, aild if so, what?

,l*,f

Napoleon always told his soldiers that every private carried a prospective and potential marshal's baton in his knapsack; all he had to do was earn it; and Napoleon therefore put the highest known premium on efficiency. The American army, thank God, is constructed after that same manner. "There's always room at the toy'' can be truthfully said to every American doughboy.

***

Victor Hugo was probably the worst prophet in history, while one of the great writers and thinkers, for he once said: "In the Twentieth Century war will be dead; the scaffold will be dead; hatred will be dead; frontier bound' aries will be dead; dogmas will be dead; MAN WILL LM." Wonder what the old boy thinks if he is able to look down upon this earth today. He would see more war' more hatred, more scaffolds, more bitterness over boundaries, and more men dying terrible, unjust, and untimely deaths than ever before in history.

,<*rfi

War is admittedty and provably the greatest of all crimes; yet never in history has there been an aggressor, regardless of how horrible his philosophies or his acts, who did not color his crimes with the pretext of justice.

*rfrl

In song and story we have heard forever of "the grandeur that was Rome, and the glory that was Greece." 'Where is that grandeur and that glory now? The grandeur that was Rome has become a degree of degradation never before known in that once proud land; and the glory that wag Greece has changed to a measureless horror which the valiant and home-loving natives of that sunny land did nothing to deserve.

Rousseau said: "Men and nations can only be reformed in their youttr. They become incorrigible as they grow old."

That would furnish a mighty fine text for some forceful thinking, as we consider the world of the future.

Carlyle said: "Freedom is the one purport, wisely aimed at, or unwisely, of all man's struggles, toilings, and sufferings in this earth." Freedom reached its highest pinnacle some twenty years ago, and seemed at that time to be preparing to encircle the earth and all its people. Yet, strange as it may seem and almost unbelievable, today freedom struggles for life and breath in the stranglehold of a monster that makes Medusa seem sweet by comparison.

Henry Ward Beecher *rU,'Lr not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words, while their ears can yet hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them." And, if there are'men in the armed services who deserve that sort of word from you, this would be a good time to send it. Tomorrow, you recall, might be a bit late. ***

If you are inclined to fret because you have had no vacation trip this summer, you might ponder the words of a great thinker of the past, named Saint Augustine, who said: "Go not abroad. Retire into thyself. For truth dwells in the inner man."

Thomas Jefferson said: "The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and t5rrants."

Thomas Paine said: "I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by-refection. It is the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

We read and hear a lot, and think considerably more right now, abogt Japan. And to even the best read man, the

mental picture that rises before him when he approaches this subject is vague, confused, and lacking in most essential details with the exception of their war record since Pearl Harbor. So I suggest most earnestly to every reader of these lines that he read an illustrated article on Japan in the August, 1942, issue of the National Geographic Magazine. When you finish reading it, you will be grateful to me for this suggestion. And undoubtedly you will agree with the author of the article that the trouble with the American. Japanese situation is that we know nothing about them, and they know all about us. The article is splendidly written, is entirely factual and in no sense opinionated, but it will give the interested American something solid to work on when he considers Japan and the Japanese. In this story the Japanese picture has been boiled down to a point where anyone can grasp it, giving you a lasting and understandable impression that you might otherwise spend months of book reading to achieve. It is a picture of an unbelievably ambitious people who have been taught from the beginning of their national history that they are so directly descended from their gods that they are far superior to all other people, and that their ruler is himself a god by direct descent. On such a basis is built their present terrific stroke for world domination. But read it for yourself, and see.

Discuss Conservation Order M - 208

A large number of lumbermen attended a meeting called by the Southern California Retail Lumber Association at the Embassy Auditorium, Los Angeles, Wednesday afternoon, August 26, when George Squires and David Mclaren of the Los Angeles office of the War Production Board discussed and answered questions on the new Conservation Order M-208. James A. Whiteside, of the Los Angeles'War Production Board offrce, also attended the meeting.

Orrie W. Hamilton, San Diego, secretary of the Association, talked on some of the problems of the Southern California dealers. He left for Washington, D. C., on August 27,where he will take these matters up with officials of the war agencies.

H. Park Arnold, Fox-Woodsum Lumber Company, Glendale, vice-president of the Association, presided.

\fPB Moves to Up Northwest Lumber To Co-Ordinate Lumber Activities Production For \(/PB

Washington, August 11.-A program to develop further labor participation in the campaign to increase war production of logs and lumber in the Pacific Northwest was announced today by Wendell Lund, director, Labor Production Division, WPB, with the appointment of George Herington, Portland, Ore., as his division's special representative for the Pacific coast log and lumber industry.

Mr. Herington will work with Frederick H. Brundage, recently appointed by WPB Chairman Nelson as Pacific coast log and lumber administrator.

He will also work with the management-labor industry board for the West coast set up by Donald Nelson, and with the AFL and CIO unions in the industry, on problems of effective utilization of labor, reduction in high labor turnover rates, increase of efficiency and production, and the development of labor-management plant committees wherever practicable. Special union representatives, one from the fnternational Woodworkers of America, CIO, and the other from the lumber and sawmill workers affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, AFL, will be appointed to work with Mr. Herington.

Mr, Herington has had long experience in labor relations in the Pacific coast, has been on the staff of the Farm Security Administration, adjusted claims of lumber companies growing out of the last war, and has a Ph.D. in engineering from Oregon State College.

Floor Covering Distributors Subject To Licensing Provisions

San Francisco, Aug. 21.-The registration and licensing' provisions of the general maximum price regulation are incorporated in maximum price regulation No. 65 (resale floor coverings), the Office of Price Administration announced today.

The action was effected through issuance of amendment No. 1 to maximum price regulation No. 65 and was taken -to reiterate to distributors of floor coverings that they are subject to the licensing provisions in the general maximum price regulation. These provisions were applicable May 11, 1942, to all persons selling at wholesale the commodities covered by the regulation as well as commodities covered by other schedules and regulations.

Washington, D. C., August 25.-Ben Alexander, recently assistant chief of the Bureau of Industry Branches of WPB, has been appointed a special assistant for lumber to A. I. Henderson, deputy director general for Industry Operations, WPB.

Mr. Alexander will co-ordinate the activities of the WPB Lumber and Lumber Products Branch, the Labor Production Division, the Office of Civilian Supply, and the Conservation Division insofar as they relate to lumber.

He will also work closely with the armed services, the Maritime Commission, the War Manpower Commission, the Office of Price Administration, and other government agencies to assure that the essential requirements for lumber are fulfilled.

Over-all lumber requirements this year for military uses, war housing, and essential civilian needs are estimated at about 38,000,000,000 board feet or 6,000,000,000 board feet greater than estimated production. Shortages in some grades and species, such as airplane lumbers, are especially severe. Insufficient supply of skilled labor is the chief factor in the production lag.

Arthur T. Upson will continue as chief of the Lumber and Lumber Products Branch. WPB.

Two Grades Aircraft Fir Increase in Price

Washington, August l3.-Price increases on two grades of aircraft fir, vitally needed in the war effort, were authorized today by Price Administrator Henderson upon the request of the Lend-Lease Administration and the British Purchasing Commission.

At the same time Mr. Henderson established a maximum price for a new grade of aircraft fir, specifications for which had been drawn up by the procurement division, United. States Treasury.

These actions were taken in amendment No. 4 to maximum price regulation No. 26 (Douglas fir and other WestCoast lumber). The ceiling price of first grade is increased from $13O per one thousand feet board coyerage to $145. The price of grade A is increased from $100 to 9115 and a ceiling of $90 is set for the new grade Y.

Lumber Placed Under the Priorities System

H. R. Northup, secretary-manager of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washington, D. C., in a letter to the Federated Associations discusses the main features of the new Conservation Order M-208 directing and resulating all softwood distribution. This order reDlaces Li*itaiion Order L-121. Its effective date is August 27, 1942. Mr. Northup's letter follows :

The order regulates and controls the selling of lumber by everyone engaged in that business-large and small siw milis, distribution yards, wholesalers and retail lumber

dealers

In this first bulletin transmitting a copy of the order to the industry, no attempt is made to explain the order paragraph by paragraph. - Rather, we shall discuss the main ieatures-of'theirder in order that you may have a general understanding of the procedures set forth.

Classes of Lrinber Usls and Applicable Preference Ratings

The various lumber uses in accordance with their imoortance to the war program are set forth in the order and io each class of lum6er irses is assigned specific preference ratings as determined by the Bureau of Priorities of the War Production Board.

Any seller of lumber is required to accept and fill any and ail orders he may receive in accordance with the rating system set forth in the order.

Classifications

Note carefully the classification system set forth in this order under Paragraph 3049.1 (.), (b)' Note that Class 1 orders are orders-bearing AAA, AA-1, and AA-2 Priority Ratings. These are chiefly Army and Navy jobs.

Noti next that Class 2 orders are for uses enumerated in List A of the order. Class 3 orders are for uses enumerated in List B of the order. Class 4 orders are for uses enumerated in List C.

Please study carefully the lists of uses attached to the order in ordei that you may be thoroughly familiar with the preference ratings that are assigned to the various uses. You will note that a majority of the more important war and essential civilian uses being serviced by the retail lumber industry are included within Lists A and B and that the retaileis' major present day market is represented by uses to which are applied a rating of A-l-a or higher as the case may be.

Restrictions of Use of Certain Items of Softwood Lumber

Paragraph 3049.1 (f) of the order restricts the use of certainbf the structural grades of certain species to specific classes of orders.

Most common grades of our major species are also restricted to the first three classes of orders which embrace all of the uses shown in Lists A and B of the order, as well

GAMII|0 QUALITT LUIIIBDR CAllrORTIA SUGAR AIID POIIDDROSA PIIID

as Army and Navy uses. This clause will, of course, be of prime interest to retailers.

Stock Piling and Replacement of Inventory

Paragraph 3049.1 (e) of the order is important:

The first (1). prevents consumers of lumber from accumulating greater stocks than they can use within a 6Gday period.

The second (2) prevents the building up of inventories of lumber by distributors of greater than a 6O day supply.

Under this order replacement of inventory is possible on the basis of replacement of an equal number of board feet of lumber sold on any rated order.

Endorsement Procedure

The endorsement procedure set forth in this order is that procedure authorized under Prioities Regulation No. 3. Retail lumber dealers may extend the preference ratings assigned to the various uses, by endorsing or attaching to each purchase order placed by them a certification in the following form (Priorities Regulation No. 3) :

Name of purchaser Address

By (signature and title of duly authorized officer) Date All secretaries should have and will be sent copies of Priorities Regulation No. 3 in order that they may fully understand this procedure.

Rerating of Orders

If a person who is entitled to rerate a delivery to be made to him has not yet applied or extended a rating to such delivery, he may apply or extend the new rating in the same manner in which he could have applied or extended the earlier rating subject to the provisions of Priorties Regulation No. 3, as amended (944.23) and to the provisions of paragraph (c) of this Regulation.

Copy of Priorities Regulaton No. 12 will be forwarded to you immediately.

Status of Inventories Earmarked Under L-121 Endorsement Procedures

Paragraph 3049.1 (n) states:

"Effective August 27,1942, the provisions of Limitation Order L-l2l and authorizations granted thereunder shall have no force and effect."

Amendment 19--Genelal Maximum \(/ood Furniture Industry Can Aid on Price Regulation Civilian Shortages

Section 1499.24 is amended to read as set forth below: 1499.24 Appendix A: General Maximum Price Regulation-Report of Maximum Price Determined Under 1499.3 (a)-Form GMPR:2.

This Form GMPR:2 shall be used for the reporting of a maximum price for sale at wholesale or retail determined under 1499.3 (a) of the General Maximum Price Regulation. The maximum price for sale at wholesale or retail may be determined under this section only if the seller cannot determine maximum prices under 1499.2: that is, if there was no sale or offer to sell of the same or similar commodities by the seller reporting or by a competitor during the month of March, 1942. Any seller who has determinqd a maximum price under 1499.3 (a) is required, within 10 days after such determination, to report such price to the appropriate field office of the Office of Price Administration. If the maximum price reported is incorrectly determined or otherwise unreasonable the seller will be required to determine a new maximum price and to file a new report.

The Office of Price Administration has the right at any time for cause to revise the price so reported.

Any seller who under 1490.4 (a) of the General Maximum Price Regulation has received authorization of the Retail Trade and Service Division to determine uniform maximum prices pursuant to 1499.3 (a) for a group of stores under its control in which it has been the practice to charge uniform or substantially uniform prices, shall file his report or reports in accordance with and at the place or places designated in the Order issued by the Office of Price Administration authorizing uniform pricing.

The amendment became effective August 6, 1942.

Wood Pulp Ruling

In order to eliminate superfluous administrative operations, the director general for operations today removed shipments of less than five tons of wood pulp in any calendar month from the restrictions on deliveries imposed by general preference order M-93.

JOHN BRYANT IN ARMY

lohn T. Bryant, Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland, was inducted into the Army August 17.

Washington, August 12.-The wood furniture industry can help in alleviating shortages of many civilian products normally made of metal by using its facilities to make such articles out of wood, W. A. Adams, chief of the WPB furniture branch, said today.

At the same time, Mr. Adams cautioned that high quality timbers must be used primarily for military purposes, and that the wood furniture industry, therefore, should use the lowest grades that will yield cuttings of suitable quality and sizes.

According to the lumber and lumber products branch, the high common grades and the top structural timbers of softwood lumber and the No. 1 common and better grades of hardwoods should be conserved for war purposes.

Mr. Adams listed the following as examples of products that must be made of materials other than metal if adequate quantities are to be available for essential civilian and industrial purposes: lockers, shelving, ice boxes, wash tubs, shipping containers, pails for home and civilian defense use, stirrup pumps for incendiary bomb protection, factory conveyors and track, lamps, trailers, and truck and bus bodies.

New developments in the use of plywood make possible a greater utilization of wood than has ever been possible in the past, he pointed out. Wood furniture manufacturers are cooperating with producers of metal goods in solving design, distribution, and other problems involved.

Conservation Ord er M-9-c-4

Conservation Order M-9-c-4 issued luly 22, t942, by the Director General for Operations prohibits the use of copper or copper base alloy in building construction, except 25 pounds or less for repairs where th6 metal so used is to replace copper building material previously used. The Order, however, does not affect wiring.

ROBERT R. SCRIM COMMISSIONED ENSIGN IN NAVY

Robert R. Scrim, secretary of the Scrim Lumber Company, Van Nuys, has been commissioned an Ensign in the Navy and is now at Northwestern University. For the past several months he was stationed in Philadelphia and Washington, D. C. He is a son of Walter G. Scrim, Los Angeles importer of hardwoods and lumber.

\(/hv Not a ?aint Your Home" V.cation?

BY JACK DIONNE

For generctions this hcs been cr poorly pcfurted countrl'.

Our home cmd lcrm types ol construction run prirrcrrily io wood, crnd wood needs pcint lor severcl prtrcticcl cnd intelligent recsong.

Where lhe crvercge construction is ol slone, briclc or mortcc, pcint is not necrly cs necesscry lor exterior uae.

But in the United Stcrtee we build lcrgely ol wood, cnd our homes need pcrint inside cmd out, while tributcrry buildings need it qt least on the outeide.

No one will even whisper the opinion thcrt we hcrve used gufficient pcint in the pcrst, so glcrringly would the buildingrs oI this entire lcnd give the direct lie to the suggestion So todcy we lind q lcnrd with countless nrillions oI buildings cryrng cloud lor pcrint protection, pcint becutilicqtion

New building* except for essential war purposes, dre now taboo; mecning, you ccm't build'em. So, to the mcm or won(m who ccrn crdd two crnd two crnd get lour, there comes recrdily to rnind the very sensible thought thct we should tcke the very best of cqre of the buildings we hqve, which house ncrnkind qrd his possessions, crnd mcry have to contiuue to do so lor some time to come.

In the pcst-cmd pcrticulcnly lor the pcrst hrelve yecrrs-the pcint progr.-'r hcs beea uacvoidcrbly delcyed by severcrl mcrtters of severe obskuctioD" the most imporlcrnt of which wcrs lcck ol chipe. It costs rnoney to pcrint. Not excessive moneyi not unrecsonnble money; but noney, nevertheless. And besides, when tolks got hold ol some ccsh they usuclly hcd <r lot of other plcrces to stick it that seemed more inuredicrlely iurportcmt ihan the need lor pcrinting. So pcint wcdted.

Todqy everything is chcmged. There crre fewer things c mcm ccn buy with his money thcm ever belore in history-recent history, I mecn. And the cvercrge mcn hcrs more chitrx in his pocket thcm he has hcd in many a dcry. By compcrrison, therelore, money is exceedingly plentiluL beccuse there is lots of money cnd not so many plcrces to put ii.

Which brings us lumberingly to the conclueion thct mcrny of our recrders mcry hcve cnticipcrted lor the pcst severcrl minutes, ncrmely, that this would be c heck oI c aood tirne to get this country enccsed in cr nice mcrntle of new paint.

It would be-c swell time to suggest to countless millions ol lrople who previously hcve gone plcces ecrch yecr lor their vccction, thct they tcke their vcccrtions in their own ycrds Wm{ A BUCTET OF PAINT AND A BNUSH.

So lcrr as c tremendous number ol our citizens trre concerned this suggestion would cone too lcrte-theyte clrecdy doing it. Fcrct. The other dcy one of my neighbors who lives in c very expensive home told me thcrt he cmd his wile were both pcrinting. He said they were pcrinting in cnrd out oI ihe house, pcinting pieces ol lurniture, etc. He scid they love it. Pcrinting is lun Pcrinting is contcgiou* One iob leads to crnother.

Poi"t, you remember, is the "bcdge of solvency" for q building. There crre millions of insolvent buildings cll over this country-necsured, you understcrnd, by thct stcndcrd-owned by solvent people. So in this no-new-building erc what cr grcurd ihought it is to remind thenr thct a bucket of pcint crnd cr brush cmd some dcrl'e oI plecscnt work, will bring their home gurroundirrgs up to their own level of solvency.

\Testern Pine Semi-Annual Meeting Four California Countieg Affected by

The semi-anirual meeting of the board of directors of the Western Pine Association was held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, August 20.

The various standing committees met on the previous day.

President J. M. Brown, Long Lake Lumber Co., Spokane, 'Wash., presided, and in his opening remarks expressed his conviction that every member of the Association is doing everything possible in support of the war efiort.

In appreciation of the work being done by the Association, Mr. Brown said that Winston Churchill's famous remark in reference to the R.A.F., "Never did so many owe so much to so few," could be applied to what the members owe to Secretary-Manager S. V. Fullaway, Jr., and his staff.

Mr. Brorvn read a letter from the Industrial Salvage Section of the WPB stressing the need for the collection of scrap.

The secretary-manager gave a brief report of the Associa.tion's activities, and Assistant Secretary-Manager W. E. Griffee reported on the statistical position of the industry.

The reports of the standing committees were made as follows: Executive and Economics, J. M. Brown; Promotioii, A. J. Glassow; Research, W. P. Marsh; Grading, W. G. Kahman; Forest Conservation, R. A. Colgan, Traffic, A. J. Voye; Statistical, H. F. Root.

It was decided to reduce the amount spent on promotion by about $23,000 in the next year, and to spend an additional $20,000 on research.

Mr. Marsh's report on the expanded activities of the research department of the Association included a program in which he was assisted by C. L. Isted, J. M. White, Dr. Anderson, chemist, and Al Hermann, in charge of research.

The meeting was concluded with a report on the Association's work in Washington by P. M. Crapo.

Supply Hardwoods for Army Trucks

Other Northern California hardwood firms. in addition to those mentioned in last issue, who supplied materials to Northern California body builders for the big Army truck building program are Jones Hardwood Co. San Francisco and Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland. Jones Hardwood Co. also shipped a large quantity of hardwood for the same purpose to the Pacific Northwest.

Lumber Order

San Francisco, August 6.-California counties of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino and Sonoma have been eliminated from the geographical area covered by maximum price regulation 26, Douglas fir and other West Coast lumber, the regional OPA announced today.

This move, contained in amendment 3 to the regulation, was found desirable as the conditions of production in these counties are different than in the sections where Douglas fir is the major item of production. The Douglas fir lumber produced in these counties is less than one per cent of the total production of the species. In addition, Douglas fir lumber is manufactured along with or less incidental to redwood lumber in the area.

These counties were not included in the original regulation on Douglas fir, revised price schedule 26, but were included when it was reissued as maximum price regulation 26. As a result of the withdrawal of these counties from the price schedule, which is effective August 11, 1942, Douglas fir lumber produced in these areas is again subject to GMPR.

THE OLD SOLDIER'S BIBLE

According to a war story published as far back as 1778 in England, Richard Lane, a private in the "Black Watch" of' the British Army, was brought before the Lord Provost, in Glasgow, Scotland, charged with playing cards in church, and during the progress of divine services. Asked what his defense was, since he had been seen by many people in the church playing with the cards, he replied that he had no prayer book or Bible with him, so he used his deck of playing cards, that he was fortunate enough to have in his pocket, instead. Of course they demanded to know what he meant by so outrageous a statement, and he said:

"When I see the ace, it reminds me of the one God. The deuce recalls the Father and Son. The trey represents the three persons of the Trinity. The four-spot reminds me of the four evangelists; the five-spot, of the five wise virgins; the six of the six days of creation; and the seven-spot, the seventh day, the Sabbath; the eight-spot recalls the righteous who gathered with Noah in the ark; the nine-spot, the ungrateful lepers; the ten, the ten commandments; the king suggests the King of Fleaven; the queen reminds me of the Queen of Sheba, the friend of Solomon; and the knave (here he hesitated), well, the knave reminds me of the lcrave of a constable who arrested me on this charge."

Here the Lord Provost interrupted to remark that the constable seemed to have been a fool, even though not a knave, and the old soldier concluded:

"There are 365 figures in this pack of cards, which recalls the days of tire year;52 cards, one for each week; 12 face cards, one for each month; four suits, one for each season; and 13 tricks, representing the number of weeks in each quarter. Thus, you see, my dect of cards is not only my bible, but my prayer book and calendar as well."

General Limitation Order L-179 Pordand Cement

The fulfillment of requirements for the defense of the United States has made imminent a shortage in the supply of Portland cement for defense, for private account and for export, and General Limitation Order L-179 is deemed necessary and appropriate to protect the public interest and to promote the national war effort. The order was issued August 3, and became effective August 23,1942.

On and after twenty days subsequent to the date of issuance of this order, no person shall manufacture any Portland cement except Portland cement which conforms with one or more of the following specifications as such specifications exist on the date of issuance of this order:

(i) Federal specifications: Emergency Alternate Federal Specification for cement, Portland-E-SS-C-19 lb, dated June 5, 1942;

(ii) Federal Specifications: Emergency Alternate Federal Specification {or cement, Portland-E-SS-C-201A, dated June 5,1942;

Draperies of Wood Fibre Seen Boon to Housewives

It will be pleasant news to the ears of most housewives to learn that they are going to be able to have fresh, new, colorful draperies at their windows as often as they want and at a cost much less than cleaning the old ones.

Laboratory researchers have just announced the achievement of this goal by learning how to make the draperies of pressed wood-fibres, but they are already in production and it won't be long until you'll find them advertised bv the retail stores.

They'll be availabl" -ir, . wide range of colors-,- includin!' mountain green, buttercup yellow, woodford wine, ipple red, na[ural wheat, and winter white, and they'll include a wide variety of equally colorful desigirs. Moreover, it is claimed the colors will be waterfast and sun-proof

In addition to their good looks, they'll make a strong appeal on the basis ofeconomy. This, the researchers riy,*"r achieved by obtairiing their basic woodfibre material from ihe abundant resources of the American forests. Inasmuch as the commercial forests already are being put upon a perpetual basis by their owneis for the growing and harvesting of such crops as lumber, the laboratory men figured the foresters might just as well "have the trees grow draperies, too."

At the same time, the researchers point out that the wood-fibre drapes will help to conserve the wartime use of wool, iilk and raybn, all of which are in demand for Army and Navy uses

Of course, they cannot be laundered or dry cteaned but upon the basis of replacement costs, the makers of them point out that this is no handicap. For occasional dusting, however, they may be wiped clean by the use of a damp cloth.

Any wrinkles in them disappear as soon as they are hung, and they can be cut and fit easily to meet an unlimited variety of window shapes and lengths. They're being manufactured in Vermont and already are on display in numerous stores along the Eastern seaboard. Increasing production, it is said, will make them available nationally soon.

Something new in home decorating are these-wo-od-fibre draperies rhown abovd. Made from pressed hbrer obtained from the everreplenishins resources of the forests, they ate designed to conservo tbi war-tirne uge of wool, rilk and rayon. Already popular in many homes in the New York area. they'll soon be in sufficient production for national distribution, and will cost less than thc expense of dry' cleaning the old ones.

Hits The Spot

Mr. Jack Dionne, Publisher The California Lumber Merchant Los Angeles, California

Dear Jack:

Your page in the August 15th LUMBER MERCHANT, "The Sky's The Limit," certainly hits the spot.

I think it is one of the best pieces of advice that I have seen for retail lumber or so far as that is concerned, for a great many other small business concerns. All around us we find small shops as well as some large ones hollering their heads ofi because they cannot get steel and other critical rnaterials to continue along in the same old channel that they have followed for the last twenty to forty years, instead of adapting their business to something that they can get and get without priorities and in many cases still help to "keep them rolling and flying."

It is editorials like this that get people thinking and I was very much interested in this issue of your paper, also the write-up with regard to our old friends, Wilsons of Central Lumber Company at Stockton.

I notice now that you have passed the twentieth milestone with your California LUMBER MERCHANT. Jack, it seems only a few years ago when the first issue came out. I well remember it and when I begin to think back how short the time twenty years has passed in, I think that you and I must both be getting old.

With best regards, I remain

Yours very truly,

C. .W. Buckner, Sales Engineer, Harbor Plywood Corporation, Hoquiam, Washington.

JIM FARLEY IN WASHINGTON

San Francisco, August 25.-Word has been received from Jim Farley of The Pacific Lumber Co., who is in Washington as representative of the Redwood mills, that proofreading of the Redwood Ceiling Price List will be completed this week, and it is expected the printed list will be in the hands of the trade by the middle of September.

Red Cedar Shingle Chart Available

A chart giving the covering capacities and nail requirements for red cedar shingles has been published and .is available without charge to interested lumbermen and builders, according to an announcement by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau.

The new finger-tip guide is proving to be of much help to estimators and contractors in determining the amount of shingles and shingle nails needed to cover roof areas. The figures, which are broken down into both the four-bundle square and single bundle classifications for 16-inch, l8-inch and 24inch shingles, set forth the number of square feet covered by various shingle exposures as well as the nail sizes and quantities required. The chart also includes shingle and nail requirements for over-roofing and for double-coursed sidewall work.

Free copies are available to all interested lumbermen and builders who write the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, 5508 White Bldg., Seattle, Wash.

New Plastic Plane

San Diego, Aug. 21.-On contract for the United States Army, the Ryan Aeronautical Co. has completed a new plastic-bonded plywood military primary trainer, believed to be the nearest approach toward almost complete elimination of strategic materials in military aircraft.

Aluminum alloys and all strategic materials have been eliminated in the new ST-4, excepting the engine cowling, which represents less than 2 per cent of the total weight.

No forgings, castings, extrusions, or critical steels are used.

FHA Aids in Financing 93,000 Homes in Southern Cali fornia --Celebrates Birthday 8th

Southern California Federal Housing Administration had its 8th birthday on the ITth ol 'August. A most active, vital role has been performed by FHA, both through peacetime and wartime conditions throughout Southern California, according to W. G. Bingham, Southern California district director.

"Since August 17, 1934, when the FHA began operations here, over 93,000 home have been built or purchased through the proceeds of FHA-insured loans," Mr. Bingham said, "under Titles II and VI."

"ft is true that, during the past year, the program has been primarily one of emergency, war activity, and, therefore, in restricted areas where war effort was greatest and the housing need most imperative. However, during the early years of the program," Mr. Bingham continued, "the FHA plan of loan insurance played a large part in the reopening of the private capital market of home financing which resulted in the stimulation of a sharp revival in new home construction as well as assisting in the production of a large volume of needed repairs to old properties which had, up to that time, been deferred because of the preceding depression years.

"Since early in l94l the need of more housing in War Production areas became the outstanding program for private builders and mortgagees alike operating under the FHA program.

"Since the advent of this type of housing, mortgage insurance has been issued on 19,392 new homes which have been constructed, in this district, almost all of which have been located in war industry areas supplying the critical housing needs at the most economic cost.

"During the wartime conditions, FHA has concentrated on programs of :

(1) The insuring of war housing loans, under Title VI, rvhich involves new projects in designated critical areas.

(2) Insuring of Title I loans which provide, through repairs or additions, more living accommodations for war workers in war areas.

(3) Insuring of mortgage loans on existing dwellings, under Title II, which primarily are referred to as "Refinanc-

ing loans" developed, either by the tqansfer of ownership of property, or the refunding of debt,'where the existing mortgage represented either too heavy a burden in interest rates, or too short a period of loan.

"During the eight years of operations in Southern California, the FHA has insured home mortgages, totaling $382,367,274, under Titles II and VI, on 93,020 homes. In addition, property owners have repaired or improved their properties with the proceeds of loans available for insurance under Title I. ,

"In addition, under the rental housing program, under Sec.2O7, of Title II, mortgage insurance in the amount of $6,356,700 has been issued by the FHA on eleven projects which provided 2,000 family units.

"fn retrospect, these data show some of the effects of the vital. role played by the FHA in residential financing for Southern California.

"Because of the recent regulations issued by the National Housing Agency, relative to the building of new homes in the Los Angeles area, no applications for preference ratings for new construction are now being accepted. This ruling does not affect activities under Title I, which provide for repairs, rehabilitation or remodeling for the purpose of making additional living accommodations in existing properties.

"Throughout Southern California several thousands of applications for this type of insured loan have recently been made, and in view of the recent ruling restricting new construction, it can be expected that this activity will represent a major portion of building operations for the immediate future. A similar observation can be made in relation to activities covering the transfer of titles of existing properties. Realty circles have stated that activities in existing homes have already shown an increase.

"FHA Title II, refinancing loans, continue to be available and play a major part in effecting transfers of existing properties, since FHA insurance of these loans is available, both for the refinancing or consolidating of existing mortgages, as well as the financing of necessary improvements or rehabilitation."

A \(/artime Guide to Better Homes

The greatest hindrance to retail lumber dealer sales under present conditions in the opinion of H. W. Collins, vice-president of The Celotex Corporation of Chicago, is the public's misconception of wartime building restrictions.

Because John Citizen thinks he's not allowed to fix his old roof or repair his front steps or build an extra room in the attic for his teenage daughter, he's spending his extra money in othelways, most of which offer neither the satisfaction or permanence that preserving the usefulness and value of his home would afford, Collins believes.

"Money spent for needed maintenance and repair," Collins points out, "tends to preserve the valuable materials already in the home. If not protected, these may have to be replaced later on in order to maintain essential housing in useable condition. An ounce of prevention may save a ton of steel for war purposes."

It's up to dealers, contractors and building material manufacturers, he declares, to set the public straight on WPB restrictions. "Many dealers have told me," he says, "that they are using publicity and advertising in their local newspapers and also direct contact to advise the public that there are many improvements and repairs that are both permissible and desirable.

"Celotex is devoting a major share of its present advertising and promotional expenditures to this purpose," Collins states. "Our major magazine advertising for September and October is aimed to blast from the minds of home owners and farmers the widespread notion that Uncle Sam has clamped a wartime lid on all building repairs and remodeling. Our full page advertisement in the September issues of American Home, Better Homes and Gardens, House and Garden, and House Beautiful is headlined'Ijncle Sam tells you how to guard the value of your home.' It explains the $500 ceiling on improvements and emphasizes that the government does not expect the home owner to forego needed maintenance and repairs. Our October pages in the same magazines will tell a similar story.

"The same type of advertising directed to farmers is appearing in the September and October issues of the major f.arm magazines-Country Gentleman, Successful Farming, and Progressive Farmer. These ads point out to the farmer

that he can spend whatever amount is necessary for repairs to his farm building; that he is allowed an expenditure of $1,000 for building or remodeling his barn, poultry houses and other out buildings and permitted $500 for remodeling his home.

"To give our dealers direct help in their local contact work, we have just made available to them a new &page booklet entitled,'A Wartime Guide to Better Homes.' This booklet, we believe, is the most comprehensive yet published on the subject of what home owners are permitted to do under present restrictions. It emphasizes the fact that lfncle Sam not only allows certain types of work to be done, but actually urges home owners to keep their dwellings in good repair and, if possible, to make additions for housing war workers.

"This booklet is not confined to descriptions of repair and remodeling work that can be done with Celotex products. It covers all types of work. For example, the section devoted to the home exterior includes the following subjects-roof, dormers, porch, windows, siding, bays, doors, chimneys and shutters.

"The booklet also includes such.ideas as building a new wing to provide quarters for war workers as well as remodeling home interiors for this purpose.

"A complete section of the book is dev<ited to construction work that a farmer can do."

Nationwide Forest Fire Prevention Campaign Launched

San Francisco, August 5.-To protect the forests of the nation, acknowledged as vital in winning the war, the U. S. Forest Service, State foresters, lumbermen, and many leading industries aided by the National Advertising Council, have joined forces in a Wartime Forest Fire Prevention Campaign. According to foresters, a one hundred per cent increase in the number o{ man-caused forest fires in California this summer calls upon all patriotic Americans to take an active part in the fire prevention movement.

Symbol of the forest fire prevention campaign is the head of a leering Jap soldier against a fire background, holding a burning match before his face. The campaign slogan is "Careless Matches Aid the Axis-Prevent Forest Fires."

Because of the shortage of steel, wood is now in great demand for building airplanes, ships, patrol boats, cantonments, Lend-Lease supplies, and many other war-time necessities. Regional Forester S. B. Show declared today that unless man's carelessness with matches, cigarettes and campfires is curbed the nation's war effort may be seriously crippled by shortages of timber and other forest products. In viewing the vital role that public forest lands play in winning the war, Lt. Gen. John L. DeWitt, in charge of the Western Defense Commind, has listed twelve reasons why every patriotic citizen should contribute a willing part in preventing further outbreaks of man-caused forest fires.

1. Smoke-palls from forest fires along coastal areas limit visibility for defensive air and sea patrols and invite ofishore operations by the enemy.

2. Smoke haze reduces visibility from aircraft warning stations and fire lookouts.

3. Many defense plants and military establishments are located in or adjacent to forest areas and might be damaged or destroyed by major conflagrations.

4. Forest fires reduce the output of lumber and other essential forest products which now go directly into war effort.

5. Fires destroy livestock grazing ranges that produce beef, mutton, hides and wool for Lend-Lease and Food-forFreedom goals.

6. Fires that destroy the forest and chaparral cover of mountain watersheds cause serious flood-damage to war industries, agricultural lands and communities.

7. Fire-scorched watersheds are unable to yield regulated waterflow for irrigation, home use and industrial hydroelectric power production.

8. Communication and transportation systems and power lines, vital to war and industry, ma1o be destroyed by forest fires.

9. Forest fires serve as beacons for the enemy.

10. War production is slowed down when men in defense plants, on farms and in military camps are drafted to help fight forest fires.

11. Fires reduce outdoor recreation.and destroy scenic attractions that contribute to wartime public welfare and morale.

12. FOREST FIRES DELAY VICTORY.
