How Lumbcr Loolcs

Seattle, Washington, August 10, 1943-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in July (4 weeks) was 153,373,000 board feet, or 101.0 per cent of 1939-1942 average, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 161,560,000 board feet; shipments, 158,424,000. Weekly averages for June were: Production, I63,779,W board feet (107.5 per cent of the 1939-1942 acerage) ; orders, 174,476,O00; shipments, 165,502,000.

Thirty weeks of 1943, cumulative production, 4,499,479,00O board feet; 30 weeks, 1942-5,401,012,000; 30 weeks, 1941-4,995;705,000.

Orders for 30 weeks of 1943 break down as follows: rail, 3,656,388,000 board feet; domestic cargo, 412,3,8,000; export, 87,269,000; local 594,635,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 1,102,840,000 board feet at the end of July; gross stocks at 5M,262,M.

The war demand for West Coast lumber continues with no substantial change. One-half of all production is going directly into war channels through Central Procurement office, and a considerable share of the balance is finding its way into various types of lvar production. No decline in demand is in prospect with the war in its present stage.

Most encouraging development in July was the gain of 78 million feet in tidewater 1og inventory, coupled with the 115 million-foot gain over immediate mill requirements for May and June. This is slightly under a third of the .700 million feet needed by summer's end to carry mills through

probably seasonal gaps this winter. The log inventory gain is due in part to the fact that many mills have been giving crews vacation with pay, encouraged by WPB.

Biggest headache in lumber industry continues to be the critical shortage of manpower. In early July there was a slight gain in number employed, but this fell off in late July. fnroads by Selective Service and other war in{ustries has been serious, and manpower shortage remains the No. 1 problem of the industry today.

Lumber and log production in next three months, when log production should be at peak, will be governed entirely by available supply of skilled men. Today several mills are suffering curtailed production because of shortage of men, and some report possibility of complete shutdown unless situation eases. Log inventory must be built up by the end of October when heavy weather curtails many logging operations.

Overall lumber production continues to lag about 7 per cent weekly behind 1942 figarcs, and about 17 pet cent behind for the year, the early spring floods and storms accounting for this production loss.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended August 14,99 mills reporting, gave orders as 69,377,ffiO feet, shipments 81,208,000 feet, and production 92,ffi9,000 f.eet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 435,153,000 feet.

TH'S 'S OUR WARLET'S F'GHT 'T NOWI

Timber Production \(/ar Project Launched bv WPB

To help stimulate the output of lumber, veneer logs, pulpu'ood, and other forest products urgently needed for war, a special Timber Production War Project is being Iaunched by the War Production Board and cooperating agencies, it was announced recently.

The project will be under the general direction of J. Philip Boyd, Director of WPB's Lurnber and Lumber Products Division. It will be administered in the field bv the U. S. Forest Service.

Critical shortages of wood for many war uses make it imperative that the greatest possible production from the forests, consistent with proper forest conservation practice, be obtained. It is reported, for example, that unless additional production of boxing and crating lumber is obtained, transoceanic shipnrent of essential war equipment vitally needed at the fighting fronts may be seriously delayed.

"The setting up of this project does not mean that we will enter into the cutting and milling business," Mr. Boyd stated. "This program is designed to stimulate production in existing facilities that are not operating at full capacity. In the eastern half of the country there are 7,500 smaller mills, many of which are now idle much, if not all, of the time and which have an annual average cut of less than 100,000 board feet. While their individual capacity is small, their numbers make them an important factor in meeting wartime lumber products requirements. The project will deal with all owners and operators, large and small, in need of lssistance."

The projec_t, as approved by the participating agencies, is designed to: bring together stumpage owners and operators; help operators obtain needed logging and mill equipment, repair parts, trucks and tires; give technical advice on

LYLE VINCENT, JR., WITH SEABEES

Lyle S. Vincent, Jr., is now with the Navy Seabees ai Camp Peary, Va. He is a son of Lyle S. Vincent, Sr., manager of the San Francisco office of West Oregon Lumber Co. Lyle, Jr., is also a lumberman, having been with West Oregon Lumber Co. for three years at their mill at Linnton, Oregon.

logging, milling methods and devices; cooperate with War Manpower Commission in locating, recruiting and training manpower; assist in cost and production analyses; give advice on financing of operators, and provide help in investigating the need for access roads. The project also will cooperate with Selective Service and OPA on all problems affecting production.

The U. S. Forest Service will administer the project through its three eastern regions-Eastern, Southern and Lake States-with headquarters at Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Milwaukee, respectively. The project, implemented by an agreement between WPB and the Forest Service, is designed to stimulate production of log and forest products in the area east of the prairies. It is to be financed primarily by WPB with personnel and additional funds contributed by the Forest Service, the Agricultural Extension Service and other forestry agencies in the several participating states.

The project foresters and woodsmen will rvork in close cooperation with all interested Federal and state agencies, with state forestry organizations, county agricultural services, other local organizations, lumber industry in general, and with labor. It is believed that needed products can be obtained without destructive cutting that would jeopardize future productivity of the forests, WPB said.

Lumber advisers attached to some of the WPB regional and district offices have been carrying on work along similar lines. Mr. Boyd commended them highly; holvever, their limited number has made it impossible for them to give the intensive and widespread assistance that will be provided, to augment their efforts, by this new Timber Production War Project. Close cooperation rvill be maintained between field forces of the WPB and the Forest Service.

East Bay Club Meets Sept. 13

The first dinner meeting of East Bay Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 following the vacation season will be held at Hotet Leamington, Oakland, on Monday evening, September 13.

The principal business of the meeting will be the electiorr of officers and directors for the coming year. There will also be an entertainnient program.

Southern Hardwood Prices Increased

An increase of $6 per 1,000 board {eet, in the maximum prices of all standard grades and items of southern hardwood board lumber has been announced by the Office of Price Administration. This increase which affects slight1y over 90 per cent of the Southern hardwood production' will add $5.50 per 1,00O board feet, or 14.5 per cent to mill realizations.

The higher prices are authorized' in Amendment No. 8 to revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 97 Southern Hardwood Lumber, and became effective August 2I,1943.

The increases are the first general increases granted for Southern hardwood since ceilings were established in February, 1942, and are given to compensate mills for increased production costs since that date'

The markups are applicable to all standard grades and items, but not to construction boards, lvhite oak and red oak structural stock or sound square edge material, or to white or red oak freight car stock, common dimension, mine car lumber, or to special grades and items for which maximum prices have been established for particular mills under the regulation's pricing provisions.

New Ceiling Prices for Oak Flooring

Oak flooring was given specific dollars-and-cents maximum prices by the Office of Price Administration August 23.

They are contained in Maximum Price Regulation No. 458, and became effective August 28,1943.

Previous ceilings for oak flooring were established under the General Maximum Price Regulation for individual producers and were the highest prices the individual sellers charged during the month of. Mar'ch, 1942.

The nerv dollars-and-cents prices, in substance, reflect the average level of prices charged by the industry under the General Maximum Price Regulation, and will cause no essential ,change in the current price level, OPA said.

The above is the inscrr$.J"J. bronze tablet at Austin, Texas, immortalizing the University of Texas boys who fell in World War One. As the casualty lists of World War Two keep growing and spreading their sadness over the land, our loyal pcople will turn with some degree of comfort to such sentiments as those above, which appty so exactly to our boys of today.

{3!S*

Speaking of the work the home army is doing to help win the war, Mr. \l[|. C. Mullendore, a California business man, recently uttered these fine thoughts: .'Our industrial production could far outstrip that of the Axis because free men in America, over a century and a half, had developed not only mechanical and electrical power and surpassing skill in its use, but greater self-reliance, courage, and enterprise, more boldness and more resourcefulness than the world evcr bcfore has seen within one nation."

rN.**

Senator George, of Georgia, recently made a speech to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in which he brilliantly described free enterprise, as follows: ..The circle is simple: The system lives upon the savings of the people; those savings are available only if industry can offer an attractive inducement; and hope of profit after taxes is the sound incentive. But the circle is also fragile; it is broken perhaps beyond repair, if taxes destroy all hope of profit. When the circle is broken, then free enterprise cannot function, and the government steps in."

It is, therefore, not only the so-called capitalist who is interested in free enterprise. The worker is just as much interested. FIe saves something for a "rainy day,,' then wants to use it to produce some revenue. So he invests it in safe securities. But securities that pay no return are as useless as a savings bank account, where they no longer pay interest. He could invest his savings in government securities, of course, but if the time ever comes in this land when only government securities are safe investments and

pay returns, then free enterprise will be dead, and the American people will live in a socialistic state, instead of the free democracy that Washington et al founded.

rF**

Every time I look at a picture of Douglas MacArthur, I think of what Shakespeare said about one of his heroes: "He is a soldier fit to stand with Caesar, and give directions." Surely he is one of the most inspiring military figures, in the purely physical sense, that has ever fought beneath the Stars and Stripes. It requires no psychic sense to realize how easily an army would follow such a man to the cannon's mouth, though armed only with peashooters.

:frF*

I particularly resent the frequently printed declaration that our American detcrmination to win the war might sag if there were indications of early enemy collapse. I wonder if men who make that suggestion stop to think what a poor compliment that is to our American people? It makes you wonder if a lot of the folks who are doing such talking and writing, have ever rcad American history. Americans fight best when they fight with enthusiasm, ahd they don't quit, whether it be an uphill or downhill battle. The greatest spur to American fighting spirit would be to say-"They're cracking men !"

**rF

It is not alone the high incomc group that get caught by the income taxes. I saw a listing the other day made by a tax expert, which showed that there are 148 separate taxes on a pair of overalls, and 52 on a loaf of bread. Even in these days of high direct taxes, the indirect or hidden taxes still take a whale of a bite out of every dollar spent by John Citizen. *t*

If you don't believe the old saytng that "nothing succeeds like success," consider the case of one Adotph Hitler. Just one short year ago the military commentators and authorities the world over hailed him as an outstanding military genius. "Mein Kampf" was the most discussed piece of literature, its every page being digested and commented upon by the commentators. Today they say Hitler is a bum, a military punk, a literary jerk, who is on his way out and will never be heard from again. The case of Mussolini is difrerent. Few authorities ever gave him credit for out-

"O happy death, when the debt due to nature is paid for one's country first and foremost. Short is the life given by nature; but the memory of a life nobly surrendered, is eternal."

standing ability of any sort. But while it regarded his works with horror, the world spoke of Hitler's genius with conviction. Today it throws rocks at him. Another step down the ladder and there will be "none so poor as to do him honor." From the top to oblivion will probably be a much shorter trip for the little man with the mustache, than from the painter's ladder to the top.

I have torn up half a d:r; sleets of paper on which I had tried to express my opinion of the oil and gasoline Czar, Mr. fckes, and his rgcent lordly ordering of the driving affairs of this great nation. ft's no use. You can't do justice to that subject, and send it through the mails. But I thought I would remind you that up in Canada the gasoline ration allowance is much higher than in this country, there is no ban on pleasure driving, AND THEY GET THEIR GASOLINE FROM US. Does that make you any happier?

"Editor & Publisher,"*irr*diJ"ussing home economics, tells about the town where butter was particularly scarce, and the young man that decided he'd make his own. So he bought a pint of heavy cream, put it in 4 jar, and went to shaking it. Finally a little butter rose to the top. He gathered it up, washed it in ice water, salted it, and finding it was very pale in color, he added some food coloring. He got some of the stuff on his suit and shirt. When he weighed

the little roll of butter he found it weighed less than oneeighth of a pound, and counting all the costs and cleaning, the stuff cost $16.50 a pound. So he went out and bought a pound of oleo. Guess lots of Victory gardeners and chicken raisers have had something like that experience.

During the Civil War newspapers were so expensive and so scarce that people of modest means could not afford them, and people used to read them in groups in the post office, courthouse, and other public places. Some difference between the war news service then and now ! What with the daily papers, the radio, camera, lightning news reporting, and special columns and wires hot off the battle field, the war is brought right to our doors, not once but many times daily. Especially that radio ! What a world this is !

The head of one of the big synthetic rubber plants that is already turning out tires in the South is quoted as saying that there is no doubt but that the synthetic rubber industry will continue in full blast after the war. He is certain it will be a permanent industry. He says that they will be able to make tires out of synthetic rubber that will be entirely puncture-proof, and will last as long as the life of a car, and do other things with the synthetic product that they have never succeeded in doing with natural rub-

(Continued from Page 9) ber. So far as the greater cost of the synthetic rubber is concerned, he calls attention to the fact that the poorestpaid most poverty-stricken laborers on earth were the rubber workers in the British and Dutch islands of the \tt/estern Pacific. If, after the war, we fulfill our promises to extend freedom from want and decent wages and living conditions to the workers of those climes, natural rubber will cost as much as synthetic; that it is the ten cents a day wages paid laborers on the rubber plantations that made the cost of natural rubber tires so low. They won't be any more; or shouldn't, at any rate.

And now, friends "rra r.iroJ "rtrr.rr", we are about to try another novelty in government; taxation by expectation' It has never been tried or even thought of-before in all the tide of times. Taxing a man on his property is almost as old as property itself. Taxing a man for what he makes has been with us for a generation, and is generally understood and approved. But, come September fifteenth this year of our Lord, we're going to start taxing people for what they expect to make four months in advance; and we're going to collect those taxes in advance. That's where the novelty comes in.

*d.8

If you are single and make over $2,700 a year, or married and make over $3,500 a year, you become one of the taxation by expectation group. On or before September fifteenth you must file an income tax report for the year that will be just two-thirds over. You must show in this report not only what you have earned to that date, but likewise you are compelled to estimate what you are going to make between then and the last day of the year; and you must pay the tax, not only on what you have earned but also on what you expect to earn. That's why I call it taxation by expectation.

* {< x

Being human and therefore subject to the laws that rule humanity, you may die before the ink on the report is cold' Many will do iust that. That would make your report decidedly inaccurate. Or something may happen in the way

of illness or accident that lays you up for the rest of the year, thus knocking your estimate of your earnings all out of kilter. You and your family may incur great medical expense before the year ends, which is deductible. It will happen to many. Or, you may suffer heavy financial losses for the rest of the year, instead of gains. All such things can-and to many, will-happen. Contrariwise' you malr strike money-making opportunities in some way during the balance of the year, and gleatly upset your September estimate. If that happens you will probably have to Pay the government a penalty for under-guessing. Nevertheless the law says that you are compelled to indulge in prognosticating, in prophecying, in sooth-saying about the future. And you must n"t 1,TT your guesses.

I highly approve of the pay-as-you-go system of income tax collection. But when I consider the mechanics of this new law we are now struggling with, I am appalled. No wonder thinking men threw rocks at it from every direction when it first came out of the legislative hopper last spring. Taxation without representation filled Boston harbor with good old English tea a long time ago; inspire{ Paul'Revere to founder a good saddle horse; and caused many a patriotic American eye to glance down a musket barrel until they saw redcoats in front of the muzzles at Bunker Hill. But what about taxation on expectation? Friends, what a mess of strange and laborious bookkeeping that new thought is going to engender in the next few months ! As this is written millions of willing taxpayers are scratching their heads trying to figure out the mechanics of compliance with this law (especially in community property states), and only getting a headache for their pains thus far. It will work out, of course; but what a job ! The fellow I feel sorry for right now is the treasury employee who has to try and answer so many apparently unanswerablequestions.

"Coming in on a wing and a prayer" is a popular song that has brought much joy to music lovers. But coming in on a rim with no spare-Boy! Try and find any happiness in that!

Quiet in New York

A young American soldier who had been wounded in the Africa fighting, was ordered home as soon as he was fit to travel. Being from the middle west and never having seen New York City, the news that he was to be landed in New York brought him a big thrill. To him New York had always meant something highly exciting, glamorous, with great crowds of interesting people rushing hither and yon.

But they landed in New York on a Sunday morning, and when our young soldier hurried to the heart of the city to see the wonderful sights he had anticipated, he got a let-down that was shocking. Fifth Avenue was just a street, and a practically deserted street. There was no motor traffic but an occasional taxicab. Broadway was no better.

There was nothing noisy, exciting, or glamorous. So far as he was concerned it looked like Podunk, only bigger. So he walked up to a big Irish cop on the corner, and said to him:

"Officer, is this really New York City?"

The cop said: "Sure is, soldier. Why?"

So the boy told him of his great anticipations and expectations, and what a terrific disappointment he was having, New York City not being anything like what he had hoped for. The cop said:

"Well, soldier, I'll tell you. It's kind of a bad time. Sunday morning, you see. All the Catholics are in church. All the Protestants are in bed. And all the Jews are in Washington."

WPBAction Makes More Softwood Lumber Available ]or Egsential Farm Needs

Action to make available softwood lumber for essential Jarm needs was announced August 14 by J. Philip Boyd, Director WPB's Lumber and Lumber Products Division. The following steps have been taken:

l. In the allocation of Douglas Fir lumber for civilian use under Limitation Order L-2L8, AA-2 farm and disaster orders will be given precedence over all other orders except those for direct military use, and releases will be confined wherever practicable to farm and disaster orders until further notice. It is estimated that this action will divert an additional 25 million board feet of Douglas Fir lumber per week to farm orders. Heretofore shipments were made by loading cars with approximately 75 percent heavy stock and, 25 percent boards and small dimension needed for farm use. The Administrator will now, however, allocate all requested farm items that the mills can furnish.

2, Certain mills in the Western Pine region producing Fir and Larch are being directed to earmark 75 per cent of their cut produced during August and September exclusive of timbers and ties for agricultural orders rated AA-2.

3. Under Limitation Order L-m (Western Lumber), all orders for Western Pine carrying the AA-2 farm, and disaster rating will be filled as deliveries are needed to replenish depleted inventory.

4. The lumber industry in the South, has been inforrnetl, through WPB field offices and industry associations, that AA-2 farm orders must be accepted in accordance with pri-

ority regulations.

In a statement to the Southern Pine War Committee, Mr. Boyd said:

"I ask that you inform your industry members that this lumber is of great importance in meeting the War Food Program and to remind them that these rated farm orders must be filled except when refusal is specifically permitted by WPB regulations."

Five hundred million board feet of softwood lumber were released for the third quarter of 1943 for essential farnr repair and construction by WPB Directive 26, issued in June. Distribution of this lumber, for which preferenco ratings not higher than AA-2 were assigned, was the responsibility of the War Food Administration on a state quota basis. Dealers, however, have not in all cases been able to purchase lumber on AA-2 ratings because of competition with higher rated orders. This situation and a general shortage of lumber of 1 inch thickness and small dimension needed by farmers has to a large extent retarded the effectiveness of the Division in supplying lumber for essential farm needs.

It is believed by WPB that the action announced and the cooperation of the lumber industry will make sufficieni lumber available for agricultural needs.

RMPR 26 AMENDMENT 2

Altogether 40 specific changes, most of them of a minor nature and generally designed to remove ambiguities in its regulation for Douglas fir and allied species of lumber are made by the OPA, thus bringing the regulation into conformity with present day lumber industry requirements and practices (RMPR 26 Amendm ent 2), effective August 24.

AROMATIC RED CEDAR

Aromatic red cedar lumber is provided with dollars-andcents ceiling prices at the producer's level by the OPA. The new prices maintain the general levels prevailing in March, L942. In lieu of individual ceilings, the regulation provides uniform maximum prices for all sellers (MPR 454), effective August 24.

HARDWOOD LUMBER

OPA announces revocation of additions of from $1 to $45 per 1,000 board feet which sellers of southern hardwood lumber were permitted to make to maximum prices on sales of lumber prepared in "standard special" widths and lengths (Amendment 7 to MPR 97), effective August 14.

TRUCK TIRES

New rationing provisions for adding to the supply of used and recapped truck tires are announced by the OPA where dealers with recappable truck tire carcasses in their possession may get truck-type camelback needed to recap these tires by applying to their OPA district office. Also manufacturers may sell used truck tires to dealers without rationing certificates under authorization of the OPA district office (Amendment 46 to Ration Order 1-A), effective August 19.

GRAIN DOORS

All sellers of general manager type grain doors are authorized by the OPA to charge prices adjustable later on to new maximum prices for the doors to be established by the price agency (Order 2 under Section 1499.19 of GMPR), effective August 14.

NEW MAXIMUMS ON WOOD VENEERS

Washington, Aug. 20.-The Office of Price Administration today fixed dollars and cents maximum prices for birch, maple and basswood veneers-vital to the plywood used in gliders and pontoons-but said the order wouldn't change the prices much.

Previously the veneers were given price ceilings at the highest price of March, 1942.The new maximums are about the same, but fix uniform ceilings throughout the industrl'.

AMENDMENT TO LIMITATION ORDER L-150

Washington, August l4-Applications for authorization of purchase orders of softwood plywood manufactured in Washington, Oregon and California are now made by the users of this plywood or by distributors when purchases are for warehouse replacement. Applications were formerly made by prospective purchasers. This change is effected by an amended version of Limitation Order L-150 issued by the War Production Board.

The amended order also requires five instead of four copies of applications form WPB-2532 and four instead of three copies of monthly schedules filed by producers form wPB-2531.

ORDER NO. 1 MPR 293 EFFECTIVE AUG. 19

Pending a revision of ceiling prices in Maximum Price Regulation No..293 stock millwork, now under way, sellers of wooden doors, frames, sash and other items priced in the regulation may sell at prices to be adjusted later to the new ceilings to appear in the revision, the Office of Price Administration announced August 19.

This permission is granted in order No. I under Maximum Price Regulation No. 293, and becomes effective August 19, 1943.

The order automatically is revoked, OPA said, on issuance of the revised regulation.

UNIF'ORM LOG GRADING RULES

Ilniform grading and scaling rules for logs produced in Oregon and Washington west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains were announced August 13 by the Office of Price Administration.

The new rules-to be used by all grading and scaling bureaus and independent graders and scalers-were drawtr after extensive consultation between scaling and grading bureaus, independent scalers, the lumber and logging industry and OPA representatives.

They are incorporated into Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 161 (West Coast Logs) in Amendment No. 7 to that regulation, and became effective August 24, 1943.

Published grading and scaling rules have been in effect in the West Coast area for many years, but differed slightly in various logging regions. The new uniform rules resolve the differences, assist in the effective operation of price control for logs, and provide the log buyer with assurance that a 1og of a certain grade is of the same quality and scale, no matter from what part of the territory it was produced, graded and scaled.

The new uniform rules will provide uniform grading quality and scaling quantity for all logs graded and scaled in the territory.

LEGAL EVIDENCE

A man was charged with shooting a farmer's pigeons. Counsel for the defense tried to frighten the farmer.

"Are you prepared to swear," he demanded, ,.that this man shot your pigeons?"

"f didn't say I saw him shoot them," the farmer said. "I said f suspected him of shooting them."

"Ah l" shouted the lawyer. "Just a matter of suspicion. Will you tell this court what made you suspect that he shot your pigeons?"

The farmer said: "Well, first, I caught him on my land with a gun in his hands. Second, I heard his gun go ofr and saw some of my pigeons fall. Third, I found four of my pigeons in his pocket, and I don't believe them birds committed suicide and then flew into his pocket."

ouR PUP, JOHN STLVER

By A. Merriam Conner

We have a pup that was wished on us, A dear little, queer little ornery cuss; Four big feet and a mop of hair, Two foppy ears and a baby stare; fle's exceedingly friendly, infrequently riled, And kindly disposed toward adult and chitdSo we named him John Silver.

Now he's not so bad, and he's not so good, As the ways of a puppy are understood; He sleeps in the sun when he's not at play, Sometimes he prowls through the woods all day, Comes home with brambles and bugs in his hair, . We have to de-tick him right then and thereOur reckless John Silver.

He bays at the moon as it climbs o'er the hill, And at midnight when everything's spooky and still, He fairly curdles the roots of our hair By yapping at things that we know aren't there; IIe's ruined four shoes and a good garden hat, But one just can't blame a poor puppy for that_ Well, not our John Silver.

Sometimes when we tire of his mischievous play, lVe solemnly mutter "Let's give him away.,, Then he stares at us with his big round eyes, His look seems to say-"You won't if you're wise_ My naughty pup habits I'm willing to break_ My loyal pup heart it is yours to takeI'm your puppy-John Silver."

Red Cedar Shingle Bureau Announcement New \Tholesalc Lumber Concern

In this issue of The California Lumber Merchant there appears an announcement of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau which frankly sets forth the predicament which the manufacturers find themselves in. In the interest of the retail lumber dealer this announcement perhaps should have been made earlier in the year, but it was hoped and believed that conditions in the Pacific Northwest would improve. The shingle industry is in a critical area and conditions are aggravated by a shortage of logs and manpower and the imperative demand for shingles created by war housing and other government requirements.

The situation calls for sympathy rather than blame' The Red Cedar shingle industry is one of the oldest in the United States. In the last decade it has done much to promote its product and improve quality, and throughottt the years has fostered the sale of their product through the wholesale and retail lumber dealers.

BOX FACTORY HAS NEW OWNER

The American Box Corporation took over the box factory and lumber inventory of the Crater Lake Lumber Co. at Sprague River, Ore., August 2. The liquidation of the Crater Lake Lumber Co. is proceeding.

P. M. Cowbrough, formerly sales manager of Crater Lake Lumber Co. has been appointed resident manager for Associated Box Corporation at Sprague River.

Announcement is made of the opening of offices by tlre McDuffee Lumber Sales Corporation at 58 Monadrrocl< Building, San Francisco.

The new organization is headed by a rvell known Sarr Francisco lumberman, Dana E' McDuffee.

Mr. McDufiee was associated with Tarter, Webster & Johnson, San Francisco for the past nine years, and was nranager since the beginning of 1937 until he resigned recently to go into business for himself. Prior to that he was with Weyerhaeuser Sales Company for 12 years, part of this time on the road, and later as manager of the district office at Minneapolis, and manager of the industrial division at Chicago.

For the past 15 months he has been a member of the Lumber Manufacturers' Advisory Committee of the War Production Board.

The telephone number of McDufiee Lumber Sales Corporation is GArfield 7196.

When a retail lumber dealer can't get flooring for a customer it may be due to the fact that the portion of the log from which flooring comes is going into ship decking for the smallest patrol boat or the mightiest aircraft carrier of our fleet. Lumber that might have been drop siding is norv serving as barge planking, and logs once cut into strrrctural timbers for engineered construction now are converted at sawmills throughout the Pacific Northwest into 136foot long keels, for these long ship timbers are available only from Douglas Fir trees of great height. Douglas Fir is also used for keelsons, stern and rudder posts, shaft logs, garboards, planking, decking, stanchions, deck and hold beams, bulkheads. hatch covers and all other parts of wood boats.

Today the wooden boat building program of our govemment includes a vast fleet of craft from tightly built life boats to the grim, business-like subchasers, minesweepers, mine-layers and submarine net tenders; from small scows to ship-size cargo barges, built to carry 4,00O tons. For U. S. Navy, for Coast Guard, for Army and for Jrfaritime Commission, shipyards are launching these wooden craft by the dozens every day. For instance, in one day recently there were launched in the Pacific Northwest six wooden barges costing a million and a half dollars and requiring approximately 4,500,000 feet of lumber to construct.

On July 3 there slid down the ways at Anacortes, Washington the largest all-wood vessel constructed in the United States since World War I. This 274-f.oot barge, one ol Z2 under construction on the Pacific Coast for the U. S. Maritime Commission, contains approximately 1,700,000 feet of Douglas Fir. These barges are complete ships in every respect except that they lack propelling machinery. They are designed to be towed by an ocean tug which can handle two barges. The hulls are similar to the wooden ships constructed during the last war and to them are added 2-story deckhouses and pilot houses with crew's quarters, galleys, carpenter shops and power for operating winches, pumps and anchors. Such wood hulls when properly serviced out-

Offiicicl U. S. Nwy Photogroph last those of,steel; and they have the added advantage of being less vulnerable to damage by metallic mines.

While Douglas Fir is the principal West Coast wood which goes into the boat building program, large quantities of Port Orford Cedar, Western Red Cedar and Alaska Cedar are used for trim and for small boats; Sitka Spruce and West Coast Hemlock go into hatch covers, bulkheads and the like. Although not a part of the vessel, large quantities of lumber are required also for dunnage.

One of the reasons for the tremendous number of wooden vessels in this war is the need for a variety of boats rnany of them designed to operate in particular waters and along specific shore lines. Among the modern craft in action ancl a-building from wood for Uncle Sam's forces are patrol craft, lighters, power scows, mine layers and sweepers, subchasers, crash boats, powered and non-powered barges, motor torpedo boats, tugs and all sorts of life boats. One of the largest wooden fighting vessels being built today is the 196-foot AMC type mine-srveeper carrying small guns, Y-guns and depth charges.

Lumber which once went into homes, farm buildings and commercial structures is now found in ships wherever our men are fighting. When pearl Harbor was bombed there were 187 wooden patrol craft of various sizes in service and 247 building. Since then the increase in construction has been alrnost incredible. How much is still a military secret. These wooden boats slip into shallow bays and along dangerous shorelines every day of this war doing a noble work. They lay the mines to protect our harbors, and in turn srveep up enemy mine fields so our boats can go through. They patrol our shores, occasionally getting some real sport when they do battle with a submarine. Thousands of wooden barges, the draft horses of the fleet, daily endure bombing and gunning to get cargo to its destination.

It may seem tough on civilians today wheh they can,t get the lumber they need for ordinary use, but when they understand where this lumber is going they are mighty glad that Paul Bunyan has joined the Navy.

This 136-loot cll wood submarine chtrser is typiccl of the lighting vessels now being constructed ol Douglcs Fir.

QUIOK ACTION

By rlaok lXonne

During the first World War a colored American soldier was with a detachment of troops that was awaiting orders to go over the top. He was highly nervous as the minutes ticked by. "Men,'o he said, "I hates dis waitin'. What I craves is action-dass what f qlayss-3ction !" Just then a fragment of a bomb conked him on the steel helmet, halfstunned him, and down he went. fn a minute he had recovered, shook the dizziness out of his head, and said: "Men, dem Huns sho do give you service, don't dey?"

That's the way I felt on August l5th. I published an editorial in the August 15th issue deploring the fact that the lumber industry, which in my judgment is doing a warservice job second to none, had been getting very little public recognition and no awards at all for its effective contribution to the war effort, in spite of abnormal difficulties.

On the day that was printed, one of the widely published Washington syndicated columns certainly gave me the service, as the colored soldier said. He let fy at the lumber industry with both barrels, and every statement was an insult to the industry. I got quick action, all right, on my demand for public recognition of the industry; but it was not exactly the kind I was asking for.

This writer gave the lumber industry several very black eyes in three-quarters of a column of smearing. And just to show that he was broad-minded he dragged in the Army, the WPB, and the government generally in his sweeping charges that the lumber industry has done a rotten job in its war effort. He spanked the lumber industry as a whole, and the South in particular. He more than doubled the. membership of the Southern Pine Association, more than quadrupled the mills of the South, and shut down most of the sawmills of the entire country. That's what I call having influence. He has the army in cahoots with the bigger mills to keep the smaller mills from selling the government. The big mills do this to prevent an over-production of lumber that might be hurtful after the war. They also refuse to pay over-time, so they run short hours. And the government is charged with letting the mills get away with it.

Of course the entire industry seethed with indignation for days after the thing appeared. Too bad Mr. Ickes, the hatchet-man. couldn't have listened in on thousands of

lumber conversations. He might have added something worth while to his sulphurous vocabulary. But they have gradually cooled off, most of them perhaps wisely deciding that the old adage that "it's a waste of lather to shave a jackass" still holds good; likewise that the best way to scatter and distribute a falsehood is to vigorously deny it.

I searched in vain through the article for some glimmer of fact or truth, but failed to find any. Some of these scandal-mongers wait for nothing so foolishly nonessential as facts, in order to scatter their peculiar publicity. I'll give you just one idea of how close this guy came to telling the truth about lumber. He said that in May of this year there were 9,7,10 sawmills shut down; and blamed the industry for that condition.

Friends, do you know how many ESTABLISHED sawmills there are in this whole country? By established I mean mills that have a location, timber to supply their operations, and money to finance them. My estimate is that there are not more than TEN THOUSAND such sawmills in the whole 48 states. So far as I can judge from first-hand reports every one of those mills except such as were closed. by fire or some other calamity were running in May, and in June, July, in August, and they are running now. They are running every hour they can run, regardless of cost or over-time. They are running to help the war effort and for no other reason, in spite of difficulties that would frighten ordinary business men. Big mills and little mills, great mills and small mills, are all doing their best to get out lumber. No big mill is interfering with that effort. No little mill is being impeded by anything except natural and normal difficulties. The lumber industry would double its production if it possibly could, to help the war effort and its neglected domestic trade.

There wasn't a word of truth in that Washington column. Not one word. And that fact could have been authenticated in no time at all by any fair and interested man. And the only thing I can think of that might do justice to the situation would be for someone to compile the remarks that have been made in the last two weeks by the lumbermen of the United States concerning that Washington writer, and present them to him under permanent cover. It would make swell reading.

slovak Fund, United Yugoslav Relief Fund, Refugee Relief Trustees and the United States Committee for the Care of European Children.

Labor, business, professional men and women, housewives and students of Los Angeles and eighteen neighboring towns and unincorporated communities are mobilizing for an all embracing War Chest which will appeal this fall for the necessary funds to service the material, medical ant{ psychological needs of three major war fronts-military, home, and the United Nations fronts.

Despite heavy pressure of business and war activities, scores of civic and industrial leaders have accepted the honor and added responsibility of heading the newly created Los Angeles Area War Chest. President of the board of directors is Harvey S. Mudd. General chairman of the forthcoming campaign is P. G. Winnett.

Included in the united War Chest appeal are sixteen major war related causes for civilian and Allied war front relief and the American military front; also the 92 hialth and welfare agencies of the Community Chest which prcr tect the home front in the dislocations of war as well as in peacetime.

War Chest agencies supplying Allies with food, clothing, shelter, medical supplies and ambulance units, so far as distribution permits, are the Belgian War Relief Society, British War Relief Society, French Fund, Friends of Luxemburg, Greek War Relief Association, Norwegian Relief Fund, Queen Wilhelmina Fund, Polish War Relief Inc., Russian War Relief. United China Relief. United Czecho-

On the American military front of the united War Chest appeal are the United Service Organizations which provide homes-away-from-home for servicemen and women and send "Camp Shows" everywhere. Also included are agencies that provide rest homes and convalescent centers for the merchant seamen who convoy supply ships through enemy waters. In the War Chest, too, is the War Prisoners Aid Committee which keeps American and Allied prisoners of war in touch with the outside world, through its international representatives from neutral countries.

Declaring that 50,000 volunteers are needed to carry the whole story of the appeal to everyone, Chairman Winnett urges:

"The united War Chest is a tremendous service appeal that can not be measured by a slide rule. Whatever we can do through it to shorten the war even for a few days or hours will play a momentous part in the nation's on-tovictory program.

"Offer your services now, by telephoning TRinity 6441 or calling at War Chest headquarters on the ground floor of the Van Nuys building, at fr4 West Seventh street."

CALLS ON OREGON MILLS

Estimated Consumption of Westcrn Pine Lumber for Third Quarter ol 194?

Portland, Oregon.-An estimate of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western Pine region for the third quarter of. 1943 is given in a statement issued by the Western Pine Association. The statement in full is as follolvs:

Recently many newspapers carried a WPB release that a Forest Service survey showed 27 per cent of the country's 31,814 sarvmills u'ere idle in May because of the shortage of logs, manpower and equipment, and that 688 of these idle mills rvere in the West. Casual readers might easily have gained the impression from the condensed release that a large proportion of the lumber industrv, evert in the West, was not contributing to the war effort. Such was not the case. Actually there is relatively verv little capacity in the \Mestern Pine region which is idle and that is nearly all in small mills. In the pine sections of Oregon and Washington, for example, all of the burned, dismantled and idle mills listed in the Forest Service report could not have accounted for over 3 per cent of the lumber actually produced last year by mills in those areas.

It is true that the Western Pine indus'try, during the second quarter, faced new difficulties in its efforts to maintain production and shipments. Limitation Order L-290, which became effective May 6, caused quite a little confusion and temporarily slowed or shut down the shipping departments of some operations. Meat rationing was a headache for logging superintendents, and shortages of manpower, tractors and other equipment items became more stringent.

Nevertheless the industry, during the second quarter, managed to produce 1652 million feet, only 2.7 per cent less than production during the second quarter of 1942.

The extremeiy low stocks of 851 million feet with which the mills started the quarter caused the anticipated difficulty in maintaining shipments. Shipments were but 111 million feet less than production, however, the 1541 million feet total being 10.6 per cent under last year's performance. Stocks still are far below normal and must be further rebuilt during the summer and fall.

Based upon general predictions and all other available information regarding the industry's ability to make and ship lumber, it is expected that during the third quarter of 1943 the shipments (consumption) of Western Pine lumber will be about 1670 million feet. This volume is 10 per cent under the very heavy shipments during the third quarter of. 1942. This estimate contemplates a somewhat normal stock increase during the quarter. If stocks are not built up there will be a corresponding lack of lumber to ship next winter.

Although the WPB estimates total lumber requirements this year at well under those for 1942, there has been a consistent increase in anticipated needs for boxing and crating, uses for which Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine. Sugar Pine and several of their associated species are so much preferred that the lower grades have been frozen for those uses. It is therefore apparent that the industry,s shipments will continue to be restricted only by the ability of management and labor to produce the utmost with the equipment, supplies and manpower that are available.

UP AND DOWN THE STATE

Leo Hulett of Hobbs Wall Lumbsl Co., San Francisco, is spending several weeks visiting the firm's sawmill connections in Humboldt County. He is doing some salmon fishing in the Klamath River on week-ends, thereby doing his bit towards increasing the non-rationed food supply.

James L. Hall, San Francisco wholesale lumberman, ancl Msr. Hall returned recently from two weeks' vacatiorl, spent at Glenbrook, Nev., Lake Tahoe resorr.

Forest Indugtrier Publish Handy Booklet for Speakers

"Speak IJp" is the appropriate title of a new booklet published by American Forest Products Industries, Inc. to provide material and suggestions for industry executives who are called upon to make public speeches.

The 48 pages, of the booklet are replete with pertinent facts, figures, and anecdotes about the forests, their management, and their trends. Added convenience comes from the booklet's orderly arrangement and index. In addition to presenting significant statistics in convenient form, "Speak IJp" presents a series of articles which may be requoted verbatim, or revised by users to fit local audiences. Among the titles of these articles are: "Forest Products in 'War," "The Background of American Forestry," "Tree Farms," and "Science in the Forest." The booklet also presents a condensed bibliography of reference material relating to forestry-obtainable from several associations.

The booklet was prepared by the Public Relations headquarters of American Forest Products Industries, Inc., 1319 Eighteenth Street, Washington, D. C. and copies are being mailed to about 2,000 executives and leaders in timber-producing companies and to others in response to special request.

A four-page supplement, accompanying the booklet, reminds foiest industry executives that, although leaders within the industry know the vastness of the forest products contribution to the war effort and know of the foresight and skill being used to grow abundant trees for the future, there are many people within and without the industry who do not know these facts.

"Many of the people in your home community and some of your best friends are unaware that management methods in the forest industries have undergone great changes in the last decade," the supplement asserts, and adds, "One way you can help them to know and understand the full story of new progress in the forest industries is to speak up with the facts whenever you have an opportunity."

GIULII RENAMED HOUSING HEAD

Nicola Giulii has been elected chairman of the Los Angeles Housing Authority for the sixth successive term, it was announced,

He has been chairman of the authority since it was organized in June, 1938. Prior to 1938 he served five years as a member of the Municipal Housing Commission.

Maurice Saeta, attorney, was re-elected vice-chairman of the authority. He has been a member of the authority for a year and served as vice-chairman since last December.

Other members include Mrs. Jessie L. Terry, John E. Fishburn Jr. and Lloyd A. Mashburn.

Material Substitution and Supply List

A general tightening of an already critical lumber situation was evidenced in Issue No. 9 of the Material Substitution and Supply List, which places most hardwoods and most one inch boards of all species in Group I.

The list, released by the WPB Conservation Division, groups some 500 materials essential to the war program in three categories reflecting relative availability: Group I, materials INSUFFI'CIENT for essential war and industry needs; Group II, materials approximately in BALANCE with requirements; and Group III, materials available for SUBSTITUTES in essential applications.

Several substitutes for lumber, demand for which has been increased by many factors, including requirements for overseas containers, are now listed in Group III. These include asphalt laminated board; asbestos cement sheets; granule surface insulation board; and'structural surface board.

The new issue of the Substitution and Supply List contains numerous changes in the group listings. Moved from Group I to Group II, (indicative of an easing supply trend) were the following chemicals: Acrylic acid; aluminum chloride; ammonia and derivatives; chlorosulphonic acid; and sulphur chlorides. On the other hand, sulphuric acid and gycols have become more critical.

Among other products moved to Group I from Group II, reflecting greater demand, are: horse tail and mane cattle tail hair; alkyd resins; cadmium pigments ; linseed oil; Ponderosa Pine plywood; and silicon carbide abrasives.

A trend towards downgrading-the replacement of critical materials with generally satisfactory substitutes with slightly modified characteristics-is indicated in the introduction to the list by reference to the Conservation Divisions' "Downgrading Chart for Brass and Bronze" and "Aluminum Alloy Substitution Chart," both of which allow generous use of scrap materials.

The follgwing clue to the relative position of steel and wood in industrial applications was given in the introductory notes to the list: "The choice between steel and wood depends largely on type of need, application, and local conditions. However, no relative change has occurred in the wood supply situation which necessitates wholesale switches back to steel.

Copies of Material Substitutions and Supply List, Issue No. 9, may be obtained upon written request to the Conservation Division, War Production Board, Washington 1. D. C.
