EDITORIAL

Temporory Setbock to Progress?

T"t TNEVTTABLE HAS HAppENno. The Commerce Department I has rejected the lumber industry's proposed new standards, based on an analysis of the questionnaire returns that would confuse a Philadelphia lawyer.

This decision leaves the mills that voted "FOR", but have not produced any |t/r'r lumber, right where they were. The position of the few mills who had already started procluction of the propos€d new standards are left with a painful decision. One manufacturer we know, and we might as well name names. has made up his mind to continue to make 1L/rt', despite tle Commerce Department ruling.

We quote, in part, a letter from the Weyerhaeuser Company, vice-president operations, John L. Aram, in a letter to his sales force. After pointing out the sound reasoning behind their decision, and pointing out the fact that many factors in the industry (principally the home builder, architect, and carpenter associations) support the new standards as a long overdue forward step by the lumber industry, he goes on to say, o'In view of the above considerations, Weyerhaeuser will continue to distri'bute lumber manufactured to the new size and moisture conlent-Ll/o average with l9/o maximum with the resultant !r/r,, thickness.' By doiig so we will ofier to the American home-buying public, and all the factors which make possible these homes, a choice of buildins

materials based on a logical, technical and economically sound premise. Under these standards, it will be possible to reduce building costs, meet the inroads of competition from other, now better engineered material, and prevent the present waste of natural resources.

In view of these considerations, it is our conviction that a standard recognizing these factors will be accepted ultimately and to that end we will do everything possible to gain such recognition. In the meantime we will produce this better quality, better engineered material for the general pu'blic, and sell the product through the distribution and construction factors involved.l,

Dear reader, say what you will about your reasons for opposing any change, you must respect a determined company which has the courage of its convictions and has just begun to fight. We believe that ultimately these changes in standards will be_ adopted because they serve most factors of the public and industry from tree farmer to consumer (including the federal and state governments).

We hope .to see active public support come from those who believe in this cause and those who don't. If there is somethins wrong with it, Iet opponents make a favorable case.

The public will be served in either instance.

Most Lumber Sold in the California Markef Flows Thru the Wholesaler-Refailer Channel

HY DO WHOLESALERS distribute most of the lumber in California, and through retailers, too?

Is it because lumber retailers like the the dependable service ofiered bythe wholesalers? Or the fact that the wholesaler's bankroll finances purchases for an average of 28 days?

EDIToR's Norr.: Analysis ol a distribution systen is maile possible only when oll the lacts are auai,lable. In Calilornia, the lumber uhole' saler is an extremely imPortant supply source lor the retailer.

To obtain this intorrnationneuer belore deaeloped', The California Lumber Merchant joined with ti,e National-Ameri. can Wholesale Lumber Association in a comprehenshte suraey ol uholesabrs throughout the West (inblud,ing Canad,a) who do business toith retoiJers in California. The results are coaered in this story.

There are many reasons, of course. But the fact remains that California retailers like to do business with lumber wholesalers. This should disprove the idea held by many that a majority of the footage is being sold directly to the user, by-passing the retailer.

SURVEY TEAM

These conclusions and more wene arrived at in a survey of wholesalers who do business in California conducted jointly by The Califontia Lumber Merchant and the Notional-American Wholesale Lumber Association. The survey has brought to light many things about the California-oriented wholesaler-a vital link in this nation's vast lumber distri,bution system. It has recorded some of his current gripes, too. This newly completed survey covered 1963.

Nation-wide, National-American members do a dollar volum,e in excess of $1.3 billion annually. The survey in California points out that dollar volume sold in that state alone by all wholesalers is slightly in excess of $600 million. Of this large volume,75/o or $454,833,740 was sold through retail lumber dealers. The percentage of lumber going dir,ectly to industrial firrns and contractors was but a small item.

Whdre does the California-aimed wholesaler direct his personal calls? To the lumber retailer, by two to one. The California Lumber N{erchant-NAWLA survey estimates that 149,615 personal calls a year are made on retailers, but only 70,668 to industrial accounts. The personal calls on builders and contractors are much less. amounting to only 7,776.

The wholesaler is on the telephone a lot, making more than 155,704 totals calls to customers per month over 1.8 million annually. Each firm will average more than 500 calls each month, the survey reveals. The wholesaler is in constant contact with his source of supply-the lumber mills. The survey shows that 48,266 calls monthly go out to the mills, or an average of nearly 160 calls monthly in California.

I(eeping in contact with customers and

mills-serving the important task of being the so-called middleman-is a pretty expensive business. In 1963, they reported spending the whopping sum of 82,862,358 for telephone and teletype.

This nation annually uses more than 37 billion feet of lumber of all varieties. The nation's most populated state, and growing rapidly, uses a good part of the over-all total. The survey indicates that total lumber footage sold in Califorinia proba'bly far exceeds the 2.5 billion foot figure computed from statistics reported by producer associations.

souRcES

And where do wholesalers serving Californa obtain their lum,ber? Nearby mills within the state oI California account for a little more than 54/o of the supply distributed. Oregon, next door, supplies just about 40o7b, wth the rest coming from Washington, British Columbia, Arizona, e:c.

Forty-two percent of the lumber distributed in California is shipped by rail and an almost equal percentage by truck. The rest comes by water.

While they distribute billions of feet of lumber, the same cannot be said for plywood. Seventy percent of the wholesalers replied they did not sell any plywood. The rest move about I.662 billion feet annually.

National-American Wholesale Lum,ber Association membership requires a wholesaler must not only sell lum,her for the suppliers, but must also assume the risk by taking title to the product. This means the manufacturers is assured of his money, and the wholesaler serves as a banker for the retailer. This requires huge capital on the part of wholesalers. The survey shows that California wholesalers carried a minimum of $48,667,000 in accounts receiva. ble on any one day in 1963 and that the average age in days of his accounts receiva'ble was 28 days.

Lumber wholesalers selling in California employ approximately 2,048 personso of whom 831 are salesmen. In a year's time, 10025 sales meetings are conducted, some for custoher personnel.

GRIPES

While distributing a major portion of all lumber sold, wholesalers too, are beset with profit problems and have some complaints directed at lumber manufacturers, retailers and themselves. The survey invited comments. They are varied and critical.

From a northern California wholesaler came this comment:

"Same problems that beset the rest of the industry. Hard to make a decent profit. Too many willing to sell their services cheap. Wholesalers bid it up at the mill to get the lurnber and then bid it down at the sales level. This would be a good business if only every level would at least

try dor a decent living markup. There is no easy cure."

From another:

"Wholesaling. to retailers is becoming much more competitive, as the normal' channels of distribution are violated. Sales from wholesalers to contraglelg? job-site delivery have increased in past years."

From the San Francisco Bay area:

"Too many mills selling retailers on same basis as whofesalers-too many mills sell' ing wholesalers (so-called) who do noth' ing but sell building contractors. Too many wholesalers in our ranks a.utting commis' sions-splitting with retailers, etc. Too much direct selling to contractors, by-passing yards and not enough real wholesal' lng.

Lomplains another:

"We are too close to the mills; too many retailers who discount buy direct from the mills. I wish the mills would cooperate more with the wholesalers and allow at least a 5/o comrnission so we can have at least a small edge over the retailer who is buying directly from the mills."

Here's criticism from Los Angeles of a retailer's lack of service:

"We will be entering a limited and selective type of contractor business, as we csn perform a distribution function as well as any retailer who is gradually becoming a general building material dealer rather than a lumber outlet. We can find no morketing ingenuity being performed by the retailer today. Due to lack of markup on dealer sales versus industrial and contractor sales, we have concluded that dealer relations are solely being maintained through price concessions. We cannot afford this any longer."

These frank outbursts of criticism of their own industry, as volunteered by wholesalers surveyed, certainly are not sym' tomatic of the entire lumber wholesaling industry serving California. But they do point up problems that exist. No matter what the problems, the survey brings out the fact that wholesalers distri'bute most of the lumber bought in California. And most of that is finally sold by the retail dealer to the general public.

(Weyerhaeuser makes 19 different

hardboards)

this side starts your sale

Weyerhaeuser makes 19 types of hardboard-standard, tempered, utility, perforated, striated, grooved, even primed.

No other line is quite like it. These hardboards differ in color, quality and physical properties.

And most builders know it.

This simplified line is not so broad that it will com_ plicate your inventory, yet it cpvers everything your customers may ever want in hardboard.

...this side clinches it!

But it's the Weyerhaeuser rurme on the back of every panel that really sews up the sale.

No other firm in the building industry carries so well known a reputation for integrity and quality of product.

Weyerhaeuser hardboards have to be good to live up to the name. This is the all important difference that makes Weyerhaeuser hardboards so easy to sell.

The big production was chaired by Bob Lockwood, De Voe Lumber Co., and Jim Gill, Wickes Lumber Company. These gentlemen, and their co-workers, should take a deep bow for staging one of the biggest productions of its kind in recent years. There were prizes galore-and even prizes for just being there. Everyone attending the early August event received a

novel Hoo-Hoo money clip and a set of nail clippers ina case marked 'oRogue Valley Hoo-Hoo 1964 Golf Tournament." In other words, from the first tee to the final after-dinner horn it was a smashing day all the ,way.

For the non-golfers there was a big "no holds barred" gin rummy tournament at the clubhouse, Roger Cornett proving supreme in this contest. Charles Sargeant of the C&O scored second best and Larry Moore of Clear Fir Sales came through for third position.

And, as impressive as the exterior may appeal to you, it doesnot even hint at the intriguing scheme conceived for the interior. Not until you step into the entry does this new design reveal itself with full impact.

As an example of good circulation planning, the house is a standout. Food traffic is directed to all parts of the house from the front entry. The quiet and formal living room is just ofi the entry. A wide picture window ofiers a view to the street while cross ventilation is provided by a shoulder high window at the end wall. This high window will not interfere with furni. ture arrangement. No divider has been used between the living room and dining ell so that one room flows into the othei and both areas appear more spacious.

Next to the rear entrance is a half-bathan especially thoughtful provision for children playing in the yard. More impor. tant, it eliminates the necessity for them having to constantly track through the house to the family bath.

The kitchen is a complete step-saving work center where a woman will feel lilce a queen. Note the wide pantry next to the built-in oven. An eating barover ten feet long-plus other cabinets are the only separation between tle kitchen and family room. The open planning of these two rooms makes this a multi-purpose area of great flexibility. Sliding glass doors along the wall next to the patio makes friends with the out-of-doors. A partial wall separates the family room and the hall. This open planning plus the glass wall greatly expands this room visually.

This plan should appeal to those people who always need more storage space. There are twenty-six feet of wardrobe, all with storage drawers ,below. Four closets open onto the hall while a broom closet is in the service. The door of the oversized garage has been ofiset to provide a storage wall, and there is a seventy square feet storage shelf at the rear of the garage.

The second home market

has changed a lot lately.

Are your selling methods up to date?

The second home market is not only bigger than it was a few years ago. lt's different. Has your sales strategy kept up with these important changes?

l. The second home is no longer just a cabin. lt's aot to be a substantial small house built for eventual retirement. So you're selling tc older couples as well as young fami .ies, and often through builders.

2. The size of the do-it-yourself market may have been exaggerated. So you'll get more business if you offer a complete package, including at least a structural shell and utilities.

3. Most prospects don't own a lot. So you need to tie-in with realtors and developers. Promote your model, but offer land, too.

4. The most successful promotions of

all involve comolete vacation-retirement communities, with recreation facilities. This way you can sell a lot, a house and a way of life.

American Plywood Association research has kept up with this changing market. The sales aids and olans in their Second Home Promotion Kit can help you get more of this prof itable business-see coupon at right.

A Lumberman/s Look at Russia

Iack Carkw ol the Carlow Co. in Los Angeles was really the obsenmnt traueller on his recent Russiatu tour. These excerpted, remarks a tlore extensiae paper upon r eturning.-Editor.

are lrorn he wrote

THE DRIVE FROM the airport to our r hotel in the center of lloscow was about ten miles. Enroute we passed a sawmill on the frozen Moscow River. There were no log decks and the logs were in frozen log rafts. They appeared to be of small diameter in about l6-foot lengths.

One giant overhead crane (probably of German origin) was used to pick the logs out of the river and then pile the green sawn lumber.

The mill appeared to be about the same age as those in northwestern Washington built about fifty or sixty years ago. The pilings were made of wood and there was no sign of steel or concrete.

The outside of the headrig building looked weather-beaten and in disrepair. It probably was an electric mill as there did

not appear to be a boiler or smokestack around.

Somedays later walking to the Central Post Office we saw building barricades made with a light colored 3/l6th three ply plywood. The grain ran the direction of the width. rather than the length. This is similar to Swedish plywood and is due to short logs, small lathes or small presses. The plywood was rough like our American CD grade. Texture resembled our cottonwood.

One of our fellow tourists, a gentleman from England, rnentioned that Russia has sixteen plywood mills of pre-war vintage and four new ones planned for early construction.

On a later city tour, I noticed the installation of some casement sash about three inches thick and made with the slot and tenon technique. They looked like they were handmade and were either pine or spruce. Portions of the sash were primed.

In flooring, the herringbone pattern is almost universal in all types of building in

HERRINGB0NE pattern is typical of the hardwood floors in most Russian buildings. Breakdown was noted quite frequently.

Moses was but " ,holt ti-l or, ,1" -Ju,r,urn, and he brought forth the Ten Commandments, on which civilization has been built. But Moses had learned most of the laws contained in the Ten Commandments when yet a child, from the Code of Hammurabi, which had been in existence and known to all scholars for hundreds of years before Moses was born. There were forty. two commandments in Hammurabi's code; like Moses, old Ham had announced centuries before as did Moses centuries later that his code was handed him ready made by the Lord. I'm not questioning anyone's veracity, you understand, just quoting from the record.

In an old trrook on the subiect of war I found the followine colorful statements, some of ihem better known to readers oT today than others: "He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day; but he whols in battle slain will never rise to fight again." Another was: "That army is the bravest that can be whipped the greatest number of times, and fight again." And this one: ooThe greatest test of courage is to fear defeat without losing heart." And this powerful linelescribed a warrior of old: "He steered his exact cours€ to the point of danger." And it was Lord Nelson who said: l'When I don't know whether to fieht or not I always fight."

Sweetest story of women at war that I know of happened in Alabama during the Civil War. A young Alabama girl is guiding a southern soldier over trails unknown to him. The soldier is General Nathan Bedford Forrest, one of the most formidable fighters in history in addition to being an outstanding cavalry officer. Suddenly shots flew around the head of Forrest. Instinctively the little girl spread her skirts wide in front of Forrest, and called to him: "Quick! Get behind me!" For that is the spirit of the American woman in war.

"But," said the optimist, o'there is one thing that must be said in favor of his election." "And, what can that be, pray?" asked the pessimist. "His success," said the optimist, "will 'be an eternal inspiration to every ignorant, worthless rascal who aspires to run for public office." And so, you see, he who seeks for good may find it anywhere.

National Wood Promotion Program's Five Year Awards

Eight leading lumbermen of the southern California area have been awarded Intra Industry Five Year Awards for their voluntary contributions to wood promotions by the National Lumber Manufacturer's Association's National Wood Promotion Program. The eight were not members of the federated associations of NLMA, but still have financially supported asociation promotion for the past five years.

The group was presented the plaques at the Ed Fountain plant. Included were: D. H. Steinmetz, IIl, president, Standard Lumber Co. of Los Angeles; Ford Barclay, general manager, Pine Ridge Lumber Co., City of Industry; Pi Bliss, representing Bob Neiman, Neiman-Reed Lumber & Supply Co., Van Nuys; Sterling H. Wolfe, vice president Marquart-Wolfe Lumber Co., Long Beach; Max Hill and Ftrank

THE NATIOIIAT W(IOD Promotion Program has awarded plaques to these lumbermen recognizing their contributions. Presenting was Harvey Koll (3d from left). Winners present (L-R) were: Max Hill, David Steinmetz lll, Koll, Frank Rooney, Pi Bliss, Gordon Woolard, Sterling Wolfe, Ed Fountain.

Rooney, chief executives of O. M. Hill Lumber Co., Montebello; Gordon Woolard, representing Burns Lumber Company of Los Angles and Ed Fountain, president of the Ed Fountain Lumber Co. Stanley A. London of Summit Lumber in Beverly Hills was also honored for his generous support but he and Barclay were unable to attend the presentation.

In making the presentations for committee chairman Hi Mersereau, who could not travel west from Washington, D.C. for the occasion, lumberman Harvey Koll said, "I feel highly honored to have been selected to present these plaques to you. It is with sincere pleasure therefore that The National W'ood Promotion Program on behalf of the American lumber and wood products industry presents these tokens of deep appreciation."

Following the ceremony Ed Fountain entertained the group for luncheon and then gave them all a personally escorted trip through the remanufacturing plant he operates.

The National Wood Wood Promotion Program is a subsidiary of NLMA. It seeks to promote and broaden wood usage in as many areas as possible.

Nqlionql Forest Products Week

The fifth annual observance of National Forest Products Week is set for October 18-24, 1964. Sponsored by thi Intemational Order of Hoo-Hoo, The Week is supported by all indusuy asso' ciations which have pledged cooperation and participation. Allied industries also participate.

The purpose of The Week is to focus public attention on forest producG and their importance to the economy of the country and the public welfare. Hoo-Hoo Clubs, Lumber-Jac groups and Wood Councils throughout the United States and Canada may participate to carry out the program on the local level.

During National Forest Products Week, contact is made with the general public at the grass roots level to make each individual cognizant of wood, its role in the ,economic and daily life of the individual. Hoo-Hoo Clubs may sponsor displays, exhibits, feature films, contests, news stories, television spots, and radio commer' cials, all in the cause of lumber and forest products.

An instruction manual outlining the 1964 p{ogram of NFPW and serving as a guide for local observance is now available from Hoo-Hoo International. Again available for this year's NFPW observance is a reproduction proof of the official logo, bearing the slogan, American Forest Industries-to be used for printing and poster purposes. Newspaper mats are available on request.

Copies of the manual and the logo type may be obtained by writing t}le International Order of Hoo-Hoo, 700 North Milwaukee Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.

Single Building Code Sought

In an important move toward clearing the tangle of local building codes across the country, the National Association of Home Builders and the four model building code organizations have discussed the development of a master code for residential construction.

NAHB specialists have met with the code organization representatives to discuss the need for a single code setting forth structural, rnechanical and electrical requirements.

Those code organizations are the Building Officials Conference of America, International Conference of Building Officials, National Board of Fire Underwriters" and Southern tsuilding Code Congress.

NIILLER REDWOOD Company of CresJVr cent City, Cali fornia. is a new member of the Caiifornia Redwood Association, Philip T. Farnsworth, CRA executive vice president has announced, The new membership was unanimously approved by the other members of the redwood lumber trade group.

With the opening of its Crescent City sawmill in May, the Miller Redwood Company started the first phase in a S-year program to develop an $B-million lumber manufacturing complex.

The new mill is the most modern in the industry, introducing several innovations. One of these is a tilting chain which brings the lumber up to an angular position in front of the grader, allowing him a far better view of each piece. Others are a mechanical barker and a log splitter in front of the headrig.

The Miller Redwood holdinss include 2{,,000 acres of timber in the MiI Creek watershed in Del Norte County, California. The plant and adjacent timberlands are to operate as a sustained yield unit designed

to utilize all of the products of the forest, from bark to basic chemicals.

Miller Redwood Company is the first important mill to be built- in Del Norte County since the depression and the largest new mill in the whole of the Redwood

The production capacity is some 90,000 board feet per day and the estimated annual payroll is $768,000. President of the company is Harold A. Miller with Darrell H. Schroeder as general manager.

The California Redwood Association conducts national advertising promotion and marketing programs and research activities for its members. It also sponsors the Redwood Region Tree Farm Program which maintains high standards of forest management to provide a continuing source of redwood timber.

Gargantuan Piece of Douglas Fir Timber is 110 Feet Long

NE OF THE LARGEST timbers ever manufactured has been shipped to the Mid-South Fair in Memphis, Tenn. by Eugene-Willamette Lumber Company of Eugene, Oregon.

The huge 28" x3U' x 110' Douglas Fir tirnber was manufactured by Hull-Oakes Lumber Company of Bellfountain, Oregon. Bolen Bronson & Bell Lumber Company of Memphis purchased the timber for the Memphis Lumberman's Club.

The Lurnberman's Club is donating the timber to the fair for permanent display at the {air grounds. The club has leased 42,000 square feet of space for display of wood products at the Mid-South Fair and the Douglas Fir giant will be one of the main attractions. It is estimated that around 600,000 people will view the timber during this year's fair which runs from September 25 to October 3.

The timber contains 7700 board feet of

lumber and weighs approximately 25,.{,00 pounds. It is the largest timber ever manufactured by Hull-Oakes Lumber Co. and one of the longest large timbers ever produeed. It is also the largest timber ever handled by Eugene-Willamette Lumber Co., who specialize in the purchase o{ timbers and industrial items.

Redwoods Are Alreody "Soved"

Large areas o[ the most majestic and beautiful of Cali{ornia's original grorvth redwood forc-sts have already been set aside as public parks, preserving them lor all time. This has been done rvith the cooperation of the rcdwood lumber industry and of citiz,rn group-s.

In these rcdwood parks, it is estimatcd. are 1.500,000 original redt'ood tree-*. inc'luding most of thc oldest and tallest known trecs. About one-third of thc entire present area of old growth recll'ood forests are now in public hands.

There are norv trventy-sir Redwood Parks, totalling over 100,000 acres, admini-"tered bv the state of California. Some of these are small and readily accessible, others cover thousands o{ acres and includt' regions still in practically the original forest condition.

Additional arcas in the hands of bureau and divisions of both the national and state government bring the area of public owned redrvood forests to nell over 200"000 acres.

llr I Weyerhqeuser Eornings Skyrocket

Weyerhaeuser Co. turned in one of the most outstanding per' formances of any forest products firm ever during thc first half o1 1964, boosting its earnings a spectacular 60 per oent over the corresponding period a year earlier.

Record first-half net profit totaled $32,058,000, Norton Clapp, president, has reported. This was some $12.1 million higher than earnings o{ $19,995"000 in the first half of 1963. Per share earnings rose from 65 cents to $1.05.

Sales of $323,437,000 also set a record for the period, rising 15 percent from the comparable 1963 total of $280,516,000.

Accounting for the rise, Clapp said, was continucd strong demand for pulp coupled lvith rises in both volume and prices of lumber. On the deficit side, he added, was Weyerhaeuser's packaging operations which "continued to sufier from extremely competitive pricing, despite good volumes."

He predicted a continuation of favorable volumes and margins in the lumber, wood products and pulp segments of the business.

lnlond Building lVloteriols Becomes Welsh Distributor

Inland Building Materials Co. of Rialto, Calif., is now exclusive distributor for Welsh Panel Co. products in southern Cali' fornia, Richard Setter, president of the Longview, Wash. firm which produces the new Kasenga line of Satinwall hardwood paneling has announced.

In making the appointment, he said Inland's "outstanding dealer service, with active and continuing assistance to dealers" was responsible for the exclusive distributorship arrangement.

Satinwall prefinished hardwood paneling, credited with attaining a new high o'state of the art" in panel elegance and beauty, is made with W'elshos exc,lusive polymatic finish. According to Edward G. Abdella, Inland vice president, Satinwall is meeting enthusiastic acceptance by the trade as it is realistically priced and "sets standards of excellence best compared with the finish of fine furniture.l'

Abdella said Satinwall is finished with a new heat converting catalyzed resin. The finish converts when heat is rapplied and forms a plastic type bond orifthe surface of the panel, giving it a high degree qf scratch and wear resistance, according to Abdella. He said the catalyzed resin finish is superior to lacquer in flame-spread rat-

ing because lacquer, with a nitrocellulose base, will support a flame where the catalyzed resin finish will not. It resists most common household chemical solutions, such as alcohol, lard, oil, mustard, vinegar and ammonia. Satinwall is guaranteed for the life of the building.

Crayons, Iipstick, nail polish and shoe polish can be easily removed from the suriace with common household naPtha, energine or lighter fluid with no aftereffects to the finish. Neither will boiling water damage the Satinwall finish, Abdella said. Dirt and smudges on such panels may be cleaned simply by wiping them off with a variety of household detergents and scratches may be repaired easily with matched putty sticks or most types of rubbing compound, according to Abdella.

Macl'nnes to Cql-Poc Sqles

Cal Pacific Redwood Company, Arcata, recently announced appointment of Jim Maclnnes to the sales and wholesale division of the firm.

manufacturing facilities and sources of redwood supply for Cal Pacific.

Current reports show Cal'Pacific Redwood Company shipping in excess of 3 million b.f. per month of quality, fine textured, old growth California redwood. This stock is shipped certified kiln dry or unseasoned, depending upon customer Preference. All standard patterns are available at the planing mill.

Mochine-groded OutPut Soors

The production of electro-mechanically stress-rated (EMSR) lumber in the West will approach 100 million board feet in 1964, iccording to a special lumber industry survey.

Five western companies produce the major portion of machine-graded stock on the market, and all were covered in the study. They indicated their production volume during the first half o{ 1964 ex' ceeded 46 million board feet, and that the production pace was accelerating.

Reporting companies were Bohemia Lumber Co., Culp Creek, Ore.; BoiseCascade Corp., Boise, Idaho; Frank Lumber Co., Mill City, Ore.; Potlatch Forests, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho; and Simpson Timber Co., Shelton, Wash.

Other mills also machine-grade lumber, but did not participate in this survey.

The reporting mills machine'grade with an electro-mechanical continuous lumber tester which precisely determines the exact strength of each piece of lumber. Ratings are automatically stamped on the wood, identifying it for proper use at pre-fabri' cating or building sites.

High demand for the stock has come initially from manufacturers of residential roo{ trusses, surveyed mills reported, primarily because technical knowledge is greatest there.

Arcsto Redwood lmprovemenls

Plans to install chippers at Arcata ,Redwood Company's two Orick sawmills have been announced by Howard A. Libby, president.

Particularly significant at this time, the announcement emphasizes Arco's determination to stay in business despite a proposal to establish a 31,000 acre Redwood National Park near Orick. This determination to stay in business is further emphasized by the fact that the chipper installations require the investment of $150,000 additional capital.

The chipper installations will result in improved utilization of the company's timber resources and will maintain job opportunities and help stabilize the economy in the area. The chips produced will form part of the resource base necessary to sustain operatiort of two pulp mills at Samoa peninsula. Additional employment will be generated in transporting chips from Orick to the pulp mills.

The chipper from the company's Arcata sawmill is beine modified for installatrlon at $4ill ,A in Oiipk. Meanwhile, specifications are being drawn for a new chipper for Mill B. It is estimated that the combined output will be in excess of 50 units per day. One unit contains as much wood as 1.200 board {eet of roush lumber.

In addition to chips, material which formerly was burned is now being taken from the waste conveyors of these two sawmills for manufacture into lath and into edge-and-end-glued lumber.

All are part of the company's efiorts to achieve maximum utilization of the first redwood harvest and, through clean logging and prompt seeding, to ensure the rapid growth of high-quality trees for subsequent harvests.

Diqmond Nqtionql Hqs Frocture

A father-son rift has erupted at the top level of Diamond National Corp., a firm with well over'$100 million invested in northern California.

Richard J. Walters, 34, has resigned as president and director of the New York based manufacturer of packaging products, lurnber and matches.

' His father, chairman and chief executive officer William H. Walterg said the resignation was due to "difierence of opinion over company policies and procedure.'o The elder Walters will take over the presidency in addition to the chairmanship.

Declining to elaborate on the rift, the elder Walters, said: "There was nothing of viciousness. Definitely nothing of a personal nature." He added he "did not want to become involved in the matter of his son's future plans."

There was little in the company's activities to indicate the grounds for his break-up since Diamond National announced on July 2 what was then described as "a package of good news for its stockholders." It consisted of the quarterly dividend on common stock being raised to 60 cents a share from 55 cents, marking the fifth consecutive year the dividend has been raised; two-for' one stock split proposed; sales and earnings records for the first half of 1964, on the heels of 1963 earnings of $3.4I a share, up from $3.15 in 1962.

The company announced plans to reorganize into a holding company to be known as The Diamond International Corp. to "improve management efficiency and facilitate future expansion."

Diamond Nationel, whorc .predecessor, Diamond Match Co., has been a major lumber and match manufacturer in the Chico area since shortly after the turn of the century, now employs more than 3000 people in California.

Three More LMA Members

The membership roster of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, which has been growing by leaps and bounds this year under the directibn of executive vice'president Jack Pomeroy and Bob McBrien, was increased last month by three more progressive retail lumber merchants.

The three new members are: Garden Valley Lumber Ranch, near Placerville, owned by H. D. Price and managed by Harold D. Presba; Mendo Mill & Lumber Co., Ukiah, owned and man. aged by John Mayfield, Jr. and Joe Mayfield; and Don's Lumber Yard, Santa Rosa, owned and managed by Charlie Wiggins.

Triongle Corp. Buys Western Mill

The Triangle Corporation, one of the nation's largest building supply management companies, has announced a major expansion into the Pacifrc Northwest through the purchase of a half interest in a major lum'ber mill complex in the state of Washington.

The all-cash transaction was announced by Abe Meltzer, board chairman of Triangle. He said the other participant is Just Lumber Corp. of Longview, Washington. Jointly, the two firms have formed the Columbia River Lumber ,Corp., which in turn purchased the Wagner Brothers Lumber Co. of Longview.

Wagner's lumber and planing mills presently are cutting 60 million board feet of lumber a year. Earlier, Just Lum,ber separately acquired two other Washington State lumber mill operations.

TreeForm Sysfem Bigger

The American Tree Farm System has certified 459 tree farmers and 395,312 acres in the first six months of the year, reports American Forest Products Industries, Inc., national sponsor of the voluntary improvement program.

These gains boosted total enrollment in the 23-year-old program to 27,404 tree farmers and 64.3 million acres. The program is in operation in all states but Alaska and Hawaii.

Private forest landowners who pay taxes on their land are eligible for membership in the American Tree Farm System, but first they must demonstrate good forestry. The forest industry underwrites the program and supplies forestry advice and assistance to private landowners without charge. Aim is to spread forestry know-how to some 4.5 million small woodland owners, many of whose acres are in need of forestry improvement, including planting of trees on empty acres.

Some 2,000 inspecting foresters from industry and government keep the program moving ahead.

lnspecfion Bureau Expands

The West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau has expanded its grading and inspection service to cover the traditional "western pine" species and will offer its service to mills farther east geographically.

Aaron U. Jones, WCLIB chairman, announced that the agency will grade all commercial western pines, western larch and Engelmann spruce, as well as traditional 'oWest Coast" species for mills on the east slope of the Cascades in addition to continuing service to'oWest Side" mills.

WCLIB's service throughout its territory

will not be disrupted by establishment of Western Wood Products Assn. grading in the Douglas Fir region. WCLIB, Jones pointed out, continues to be the only ofrcial rules-writing agency for west side species in the Douglas Fir region, including all of both Oregon and Washington west of the summit of the Cascade Moun' tains and northwestern California. Atty grading of west coast species done in the Douglas Fir region by other agencies will apply WCLIB rules, he added.

up several mills in that area who wish to use its grading service for their pine, larch and Engelmann spruce production.

The overwhelming majority of mills in the Douglas Fir region have indicated that they plan to continue with WCLIB grading and inspection.

WCLIB's expanded service territory, in' cludes that part of Washington lying west of the Okanogan and Columbia rivers and that part of Oregon west of the l2fth meridian. The l2fth meridian is a direct northward extension of the CaliforniaNevada border. Except for the Ochocos, this is non-timbered country and puts all of the Cascades within WCLIB's service area. It does not extend eastward, however, to the Blue Mountains as yet.

This line is as far east':as Westside grad' ing values now apply.

WCLIB will grade to i,ts own traditional rules and values for West Coast type species growing in this expanded area. Any future extension of its service eastward, would require grading to the rules of the old Western Pine Assn. (now merged into Western Wood Products Assn.) All grad' ing of Westside species by .tty agency in the Douglas Fir region will have te follow WCLIB rules.

WCLIB now grades for 310 mills. Only 5l mills (two of them currently inoperative) have resigned from WCLIB to join the WWPA grading service. There are, of course, also a number of mills using separate, non-rules-writing. grading services.

WCLIB will continue to issue certification of grade and volume only through its own independent staff, ..Iree of any mill interpretation. WCLIB ihspectors are stationed in offices at Eureka, Calif.. Medford, Eugene and Portland, Oregon and at Seattle, Wash.

WCLIB already has on its stafi inspectors fully qualified to superintend grading of ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, Engel' mann spruce, Idaho white pine, western larch and sugar pine.

Koppers Enlorges Plqnt

Koppers Company, Inc. will enlarge its forest products treating plant at Oroville, Calif., for the third time since the company purchased it in 1955, Douglas Grymes, vice president and general manager of the forest products division, has announced.

The new addition will consist of an 8-foot'diameter pressuretreating cylinder 65 foet long, a boiler and a 50,000 board feet capacity lurnber drying kiln. It will allow the Oroville plant for the first time to produce fire-protected wood which is sold under the Koppers trade name of Non-Com. They expect to be in operation by mid-October.

The expansion has been dictated by the increasing demand for fire-protected wood in construction, Grymes said. Following exhaustive tests, the Uniform Building Code now allows fireprotected wood studs to be used in construction of multipleoccupancy, high-rise buildings. Previously, steel studs were required in such buildings and the code change has opened up a large new use for fire-protected wood which meets Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. standards.

More than 75,000 board feet of Non-Com lumber was used recently for ,temporary construction in San Francisco's Cow Palace during the GOP National Convention. This was produced at Koppers Wilmington, Calif. plant.

L. E. Anderson is manager of the Oroville plant.

CBS Plywood now operates five retail outlets in the Bay Area in addition to its wholesale branch in Reno, Nevada, and its big Oakland headquarters operation.

Forest Service Timber Cut Record

The timber business in the national forests hit an all-time high during fiscal year 1964, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Free' man has announced.

The timber cut from the national forests totalled I0.9 billion board feet-enough to build an 8-foot board walk to the moon. This is twice the amount of timber cut from the forests in 1954 and 900 million board feet more than was cut a year ago.

During fiscal year 1964 the Forest Service sold 11.63 billion board feet of timber. Some of this timber was cut during the year, but most of it'will be cut within the next few years and will show up in future reports.

Last year sales came to I2.2 billion board feet. The higher volume was largely a result of efforts by the Forest Service to salvage timber in the Pacific Northwest blown down by the Oct. 12. 1962 hurricane.

Timber Solvoge Record

"Northwest loggers have accomplished the speediest timber salvage job in historf," W. D. Hagenstein, Timber Disaster Committee chairman, has declared.

In the 20 months since the devastating Columbus Day Storm blew 17 billion feet of timber flat, Washington and Oregon loggers have been harvesting blowdown everywhere. By June 30, sixty percent of the concentrated blowdown had been removed, the committee reports.

"Our Committee was appointed immediately after the 1962 storm to save the wood" beat the beetles and reduce the fire hazard. Ve are extremely proud of the splendid cooperation exhibited in the whole salvage job-biggest in American forest history. Everyone has been magnificient," Hagenstein said.

Comparing the timber salvage job after the big 195I Oregon' Washington wind with the Columbus Day cleanup, Hagenstein said we've accomplished as much in 20 months this time as we did then in 5 years.

Hagenstein predicted that if the salvage continued at the present rate, the bulk of the l2.B billion feet of concentrated blowdown would be out of the woods by 1965. The 4.2 billion feet of scat' tered blowdown is another matter. Its removal largely depends on accessibility and much of it will never be recovered, he said.

Dodge Report Optimistic

Construction outlook for l9(i4 has been revised upwaril by F. I[. Dodge Company. According to the latest Dodge Report, residen' tial building contracts in 1964 are expected to total $21.6 billion a gain of 5 percent compared with 1963. In October of 1963 the estimate was a 2.1 percent increase.

Non-residential building contracts are now forecast to total $15.5 billion, a gain of 8 percent compared to the predicted gain last October which was 2.3 percent.

Corroll O'Rourke lo Heqd Weyerhoeuser Advertising

The appointment of Carroll K. O'Rourke as director of public relations and advertising for Weyerhaeuser Company has been announced by B. L. Orell, vice president for public affairs.

He will be responsible for administration of public relations activities and the creation and merchandising of all corporate advertising, and will provide counsel to those responsible for other advertising functions within the company to assure a compatible and efiective over-all advertising program," Orell said.

O'Rourke has been associated with development of national advertising programs for wood products for the past lB years.

From 194'6 to 1959 he was with Cole & Weber, Inc., Weyerhaeuser's advertising agency, in Portland. He had a role in development of national advertising programs for lumber, including creation of the o'West Coast Woods" advertising and trade promotion program of \Vest Coast Lumbermen's Association. O'Rourke joined Weyerhaeuser in 1959 as manager of the advertising-trade promotion division in the St. Paul sales office.

Active in forest industrv activities. O'Rourke served as presideni and chairman of the National Home Improvement Council from 196I ro 1962. He was named

Hordwood Action Council Chorts 2nd Yeor Progrom

Three courses of action for the coming year were unanimously approved at the first annual meeting of the Hardwood Action Council at the Forest Products Laboratory in Wisconsin. Objectives outlined for 1964-65 are:

(l) Marketing studies directed to users of hardwood lumber;

(2) Training courses at the laboratory for executives and sales personnel of wood producers in the better utilization of hardwoods.

(3) Iircreased hardwood promotional and research activities to offset programs of substitute materials.

Officers who directed the council durine its lormative first year were unanimously re-elected. They are: chairman Donald H. Gott, executive director, Arnerican Walnut Manufacturers' Association, Chicago; and secretary: Howard D. Bennett, secretarymanager, Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers', Inc., Cincinnati.

Council members heard a review of various hardwood research results and programs by eleven project leaders of the Forest Products Laboratory.

Underloyment ldentiiy Asked

The Board of Directors of the National Particleboard Association has voted to ask all member companies which manufacture floor underlayment to face-identify their panels with a company stamp.

The recommendation was made following a request from the W'estern Floor Covering Association that some form of face-identification be adopted. The W'FCA said this would help them to know when they are working with underlayment materials which are guaranteed by the manufacturer.

Members of the National Particleboard Association account for some 80 percent of the mat-formed wood particleboard production in the United States. All member companies ofier written guarantees for their products.

Two types of guarantees are ofiered. One provides for refund of the full purchase price of the underlayment up to one year after it has been installed. The other for either refund of the full cost of the installation (including labor), the underlayment, adhesive and floor covering afiected by a failure, or repair of the installation without cost.

In both cases, installation must be done according to manufacturer's instructions which are written on the warranties.

The face-stamping resolution was adopted unanimously by the NPA board.

House Building Industry Expert Sees Dominqtion by Gionf Firms

By 1967, three or four gigantic corporations will dominate America's housing industry, one of the nation's leading market research analysts has told builders.

"Eventually, one in every ten homes will be built by these giants," predicted Sanford R. Goodkin, president of the nationwide Los Angeles-based firm which bears his name.

Addressing the Home Builders Association of Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties, Goodkin based his forecast on four existing trends:

"SERVICE is our poromount stock-in-trode"

(l ) Increasing competition and a more sophisticated buyer are making the older generation of small builders obsolete. According to Goodkin, it is 50 percent harder to sell a home than it was two years ago, and 100 percent harder than l0 years ago.

(2) Big corporations from other fields have found housing an excellent place to invest capital and are continuing to enter the industry.

(3) The number of mergers is increasing. fu small builders run into trouble, they seek combinations with other builders and with the big capital corporations. In turn, the ,best talents in the field are drawn to lareer firms.

(a) The increasing need for satellite cities will create a demand for super-developers who can provide a self-sufficient environment in the o'new towns" of the nation.

"All this adds up to increasingly bigger operations on the part of a new generation of builders-trends that can only lead toward dominance by a handful of corporations in the not too distant future," Goodkin said.

Hulbert & Muffly Scores First

Hulbert & Muffiy Lumber Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rockport Redwood Company, has become the first redwood producer to deliver redwood chips to a storage site at Samoa where Georgia-Pacific Corp. will soon complete its new 40 million dollar pulp and paper plant.

Wayne Hulbert, manager of Hulbert & Muffiy's Carlotta operation, notes that the newly installed $68,000 chipper will make possible the sale of nearly $70,000 worth of redwood chips per year which until now had gone up in smoke in the burner. Hulbert & Muffiy is now shipping approximately 3t/2 truck & trailers loads of chips per day to Georgia-Pacific's Samoa site.

Hulbert & Muffly's new chipper will handle redwood that used to go up in smoke.

Northwest lumber Industry Subiecf of Plonned Hisrory

Arthur W. Priaulx, for 23 years director of public relations and product publicity for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, has been named assistant to the president of the association, which will continue in existence for an indefinite period.

Priaulx's assignment for the next 18 months is to write a history of the West Coast Lumbermenos Association, the Northwest lumber industry and the people who built it.

Priaulx has urged oldtimers and old lumber families who might have valuable historical photographs or background ma-

terial on the industry to contact him. The new WCLA office 'will be on the fifth floor of the Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.

Assisting Priaulx will be Miss Ann Nordstrom, for many years in the WCLA Seatde office, and an employee since 1918. She has a strong interest in history and her knowledge of the industry and its people is unegualed. She will be in charge of research.

Priaulx was one of the organizers of Keep Oregon Green Association, served as president and has been continuously a KOG board member. His work for the lumber industry has won nationwide attention and many programs that he sponsored and developed caught hold nationally. One of

CAIIFORNIA LUIIEEI MEICHAhIT

his most famous was the use of four pretty girls to sell a grade name change, at best a highly technical subject, but even the newspapers took it up when the industry started using glamour.

For the duration of the life of WCLA' Nils Hult will serve as president; G. C. Edgett as executive vice president; and Gordon Brown as secretary.

Computer Cenfer Compleled

Installation of equipment in Weyerhaeuser Company's new computer center (CLIW, April, page 12) has been completed in the firm's Tacoma, Wash., headquarters.

The General Electric 225 computers will be put to work immediately'on current data-processing applications and gradually will be phased into a new business-infor' mation system being implemented by the company's wood products division.

By the end of the year, the computers will be linked directly to the division's new nationwide communications system.

Total cost of the computer-communications complex will be about $2.5 million, and the resulting information system has been termed, o'one. of the most comprehen' sive management information systems yet devised by American industry." Commer' cial teletype lines will inter-connect the computer center and the company's 62 distribution centers in 48 states.

Targeted for immediate attention by the computers are a redefinition of markets, a reorganization of production practices, and an improvement in the flow of infor' mation to decision centers. The new system will permit manufacturing to become more finely tuned to the needs of the mar' ket and will permit utilization of a selec' tive marketing approach, company officers believe.

Summer is a good time to pep up Your home handyman department by merchandising special projects designed to take advantage of the season.

"With today's emphasis on outdoor liv' ing and outdoor fun for youngsters, the alert building materials dealer can develop any number of ideas that will bring in traffic and sales," points out Donald J. Moore, building products sales manager for Masonite Corporation.

One unusual promotional idea suggested by Moore is a modern version of the oldfashioned lemonade stand.

In this case, a basic plan already has been developed by Masonite and is available to dealers. It features the company's factory-primed Weatherall panels for siding and involves inexpensive detailing. Up to 25 copies are available free to dealers.

Boost Profits on Remodeling Soles

Do-it-yourselfers are beginning to look ahead to the fall season and the various remodeling projects left over from last year. That means now is the time for lumber dealers to make plans for merchandising easy-to-use bnrilding materials and specialty items which spur impulse buying.

Specialty items such as cedar closet lining, for example, are becoming increasingly profitable for dealers who sell the material as part of a larger remodeling ttpackage."

"Dealer sales show this is happening," said Lee Seabolt, public relations director of the Aromatic Red Cedar Closet Lining Manufacturers Association. "Because the material is easy to install, as well as ece nomical, dealers are able to enlarge the remodeling project by adding a closet."

The cedar lining is tongue-and-grooved for easy installation. It's packaged in

New Frome-Fit Insulqfion Blonket

A new 48"-wide Balsam-Wool Frame-Fit insulation blanket has been announced by Wood Conversi,on Company.

Unlike conventional insulatio,n, the Frame-Fit design features recessed longitudinal strips spaced 16" ot 24" on center that fit over the bu,ildingis framing merrnbers. T9ris allorvs the thick insulation mat to lay snugly between framing.

More area can be insulated in less time and with few staples. Since the continuous blanket reduces the number of joints, heat loss can be kept to a minimum.

Two Balsam-Wool Frame-Fit insulations are availablel a regular, asphalt-impregnated liner type and a reinforced, polVethylene-coated liner product. Both are available in one and two inch thicknesses.

The regular liner type is ideal for application in ceilings, floors, pre-fab constructions, and as sound deadening material in partition walls. Sheets, pre-cut to 7' L|Yz', Iength, are easily laid over framing and spot stapled. Sheathing, in the case of tiltup panels, or rough flooring, is applied directly over the insulation. On the job cutting and fitting is minimized.

Conceoled Wood Siding Fosfener

One of the nervest products to be added to the rapidly expanding line of Timber Engineering Company has contributed to a major breakthrough being made in the marketing of wood siding. The product is an ingeniously designed concealed fastening device for use in attaching beveled wood siding that has been prefinished in the mill. First producer to specify the use of the Teco fastener with its producl is The Pacific Lumber Company u'ith its nel'Palco prefinished 3A" x 10" siding.

Consisting of a lz" wide, 51" long galvanized metal strip on which are mounted a series of combination teeth and retaining tabs, the Teco fastener is designed to completely eliminate face nailing. In addition, the product minimizes paint failures caused by moisture condensation betu'een walls and siding by providing an automatic vent space between siding course,

To apply, the fastener strips are nailed vertically at stud locations either over sheathing or direct to the stud. Siding courses are then positioned against the retailing tabs and over the teeth. The tabs provide automatic alignment, thus guaranteeing: the prescribed 1" overlap. With a white .rubbel hammer being used to prevent damage to the paint fllm, the siding is tap- ped into place against the teeth of the fastener. Upon entry, the teeth spread and anchor the siding solidly.

When applied with Teco Concealed Fasteners, prefinished wood siding offers the advantages of (1) improved and longer lasting paint finishes through "in-the-mill" paint application under quality control conditions and (2) reduced "in-place" costs. Job studies show that, compared to conventional siding with prime and one coat applied on the job, there is a labor saving of 10 man hours per thousand squar.e feet

Foresl Residue Uses Foreseen

Wood products makers are beginning to look deeper into the forest. bel.ond the tall pines and firs they have been milling into lumber.

Forest residualssmaller trees cut to thin out timber stands and bark from the big trees-are beginning to look more attractive, says Dr. Fred E. Dickinson, director of the University of California Forest Products Laboratory.

He told a field day audience recently that commercial use of lower-value forest materials is coming closer. He cited three new pulp mills being built in northern

California as potential {uture users of sawmill wastes.

The UC forest scientist suggested that the proof of forestry practices now being developed for second-growth timber stands would be in the manufactured products that come from them.

Thinning maturing timber stands can be a major source of chips for pulp and other wood products uses, said Dr. Rudolph F. Grah, UC professor of forestry at Berkeley. Grah said a stand of trees mieht be thinned by half at about the 30th year oI its srowth.

"The half of the stems left to grow," he said. o'would make as much wood as all

P.O. Box 58038, Vernon Brqnch Vernon, Cqlif. ADoms 2-5171

the trees could if left uncut. Trees would be of larger diameter, and total production by the time the whole stand had reached 50 or 60 years of age would be boosted by as much as a third."

The University of California's Blodgett Forest was pointed out as a prime example of the success of Cali{ornia's Sierra slopes in rebuilding their own timber cover. The forest rvas last logged about 1913 by the Michigan-California Lumber Company, which gave the experimental tract of about 3,000 acres to the University. Now, 50 years later, the forest has a heavy mixed conifer stand of ponderosa and sugar pine, white and Douglas fir, and incense cedar.

Unicom Design Book Used At Fresno Stqte College

Unicom modular coordinated component principles are playing a major role in the learning processes o{ the industrial technology majors at Fresno State College, where the Unicom manuals are used as a reference text in the Wood Frame Build' ing Construction course.

The students' practical cxercise takes the form of building home models according to Llnicom construction methods.

The College's Industrial technology majors come to Fresno State with a strong background in residential building from junior colleges or with trade experience. reDorts Professor James H. Itockwell. "The U,licom emphasis should make this course r.aluable to those students because their previous experience has been of a quite traditional custom building nature," he said.

Pro{e,.sor Rockwell stated that the man-

ual came to his attention just in time to rer-ise plans for the students' building project {or the 1963 spring semester.

"For construction practice, we build 17/r-inch equal to one-foot scale models," and all materials are sawn to scale b1' the students, Rockwell said.

TUMBERMAN TOOKS AT RUSSIA

Moecow. This is probably due to poor logs, lack of adequate dry kiln facilities or a combination of both. The same type of floors in the Moscow University are coming apart in places, which is in keeping with the entire interior which is in exceedingly poor condition. The students are housed in wings of this same building and the enameled sinks and the other hardware looked like US rejects. The whole building is less than ten years old.

There is a tremendous crash program

to build apartments but able to lessen appreciably shortage of apartments.

hasn't been the appalling

Little wood is used in construction as they are precast concrete and are put into place up to eight stories by a single crane that runs parallel to the building site on a railroad type track. Assembly takes less than thirty days and the result looks like an eggcrate. Most new apartments have only three hundred feet of space for each family.

The hotel we stayed at in the city of Kiev is only three years old, yet the ceramic tile in the bathrooms was coming loose, the floors, again of the herringbone

type were very poorly finished and the glass was of the usual poor quality. The wardrobe closets appeared to be made out of cheap Ga,bon and were poorly finished and manufactured. The doors were of painted hardboard.

Our conclusion is that Russia is fifty to one hundred years behind the United States.

Logging by Skyhook

"Lighter-than-air logging" is being tried at Culp Creek, Ore' for the first time anywhere, so far as known.

The Bohemia Lumber Co. has a pair of skyhoolc balloons inflated with helium, undergoing trials on its Culp Creek logging operations.

The "skyhook," produced by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.o actually consists of two Dacron balloons tied together at the nose, forming a "V" with the tails extending outward at a 4O-degree angle, like an aerial snowplow.

The balloons, filled with 75,000 cubic feet of helium are designed to lift one end of logs weighing up to 2r/2 tons, according to the Goodyear Co. They are built to take the place of a "highline" for skidding logs down steep slopes and across rough terrain to loading docks.

Price of the unit is quoted at $65,000.

Lumber qnd Home Building

How big a part does lumber play in the horne construction picture? A just-published Labor Department report on single-family housing says the "lumber and lumber-products industry including prefabricated and package-house manufacture" accounts for 40 percent of the total materials bill, or 19 percent of the total construction price.

Labor Department economists figure that, of the average construction dollar for one-family dwellings, 48 percent goes for materials, supplies and equipment; 22 percent for wages to onsite workers, and 30 percent for such overhead costs as administrative off-site salaries, expenses for sales office and yard operations, profits and related items.

cumference at the base. A ring count showed the tree to be over 4'00 years old. The log had a gross scale of 9130 feet and weighed approximately 91,300 pounds. It was cut on Hull-Oakes timberlands about

B miles {rom their Bellfountain mill. Need' less to sayo the log was hauled to the mill over private roads.

Sawing of the log required about 4 hours and some special techniques were needed to handle it. A large tractor was used to position th" l"g on the carriage where it was cut and the tractor helped shift the

log during the cutting Process.

The timber required three railroad flat cars for transportation. A 60 foot car was used for support and two 40 foot cars for idlers.

It will be placed on permanent display in Memphis and treated with a chemical preservative.
