How Lumber Looks

The new Douglas Fir ceiling prices, which become effective October 1, 1941, will be found on page 8 of this issue.

Lumber production during the week ended August 30, 1941, was 8 per cent less than the previous week; shipments were 0.4 per cent less; new business 14 per cent less, according to 8 per cent fewer reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from regional associations covering the operations of representative hardwood and softwood mills.

During the week ended August 30, 4n mills produced 275,289W feet of hardwoods and softwoods combined, shipped 3O5,926,W feet, and booked orders of 225.183,000 feet.

Lumber orders reported for the week ended August 30 by 343 softwood mills totaled 216,487,W feet, shipments were 294,752,000 feet, and production was 264,212,ffi0 fieet. 85 hardwood mills for the week gave new business as 8,696,000 feet, shipments 11,174,000 feet, and production 11,077.000 feet.

Seattle, Washington, September 9, 1941.-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in August (4 weeks) was 187,528,000 board feet, or 117.7 per cent of estimated capacity. Orders averaged 162,799,W board feet; shipments, 1m,617,m. Weekly averages for July were: production, 159,76,W board feet (81.1 per cent of the

1926-1929 average) ; orders, 779,A04,0N; shipments, 165,104,000.

35 weeks ol 1941, cumulative production, 5,773,280,W board feet l same period, 1940,-4,7 n J7 6,U& ; 19 39,-4,n2,505,000.

Orders for 35 weeks of I94l break down as follows: rail, 3,376,894,ffi board feet; domestic cargo, 1,675,783,000; expo*, 147,896,000 ; local, 814,198,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 772,224,000 board feet at the end of August; gross stocks, at 8I9,126,0ffi.

The two features of the West Coast lumber situation are the remarkable war-effort production of August and the cloud of uncertainty that has risen from price ceiling prospects.

August lumber production of nearly 18 per cent above the West Coast industry's normal capacity represents response to specific requests from OPM and OPACS in late July for more lumber from this region. The industry was asked to do its utmost, and August production is the industry's answer.

While the dominance of defense orders in the West Coast lumber picture remains substantially unchanged, the immediate concern of the industry is the effect of the price ceiling order for Douglas fir lumber which has been announced and discussed and is expected to be published by September 9.

The basic weakness .";, ;; eventuauy destroy both Nazism and Communism, is lack of spirituality-lack of religion. A great nation of atheists is an impossibility. The basic principle of such a society must needs be selfishness, and from such a foundation no mighty or permanent structure will ever rise. Hitler is but an incident in the history of nations. But religion is the very life of those nations. Man, at heart, is a creature that requires sentiment, and religion is the deepest, most ineradicable sentiment of the human heart. Strike out religion and you reduce a nation to the level of educated beasts. Annul the power that draws a nation upward, and they sink back to savagery. Where there is no Fatherhood of God there can be no Brotherhood of Man. The dictators may try as they will to erase religion from the human heart, but the effort will finally be in vain, and the adoration of a Supreme Power will remain the divine perfume of the soul.

He went to San Francisco and the Northwest cities on the first leg of his tour and will visit all the principal cities of the Middle West and East.

After spending some time in New York and Boston he will go to Atlanta, Ga., and return by way of Louisiana and Texas. While in the East he will purchase some new machinery and equipment for the factory. Mr. Hanson, who expects to be gone five or six weeks, is accompanied on the trip by Mrs. Hanson.

Ceiling Prices on Douglas Fir Ejlective October 1

The ceiling prices on Douglas Fir lumber were released by the Office of Price Administration on September 10. The price schedule is the result of the meeting of Peter A. Stone of the Office of Price Administration held with West Coast manufacturers at Portland, Oregon, August 20, and the work of the committee appointed to assist Mr. Stone. Only the principally used yard items are included. The schedule becomes effective October 1.

A copy of the price schedule follows:

Title 3z-National Defense

Chapter XI-Office of Price Administration

Part 1312-Lumber and Lumber Products

Price Schedule No. 26, Douglas Fir Lumber

Douglas Fir lumber, a Pacific Coast product, is often emplgyed_ co-extensively and to some extent interchangeably with Southern pine lumber. It is widely used in the constr,uction industry for exterior and interior finish, framing, mill work, sheathings, floorings, and sub-floorings, and ln the manufacture of crates, low-grade furniture, and household and farm appliances. In the defense program it has been extensively employed in the construcfion of cantonments, defense housing projects, and factories, and in the production of ships and airplanes. The increased need for Douglas Fir lumber has prompted government's efforts to secure expanded production, but the supply has failed to keep pace with the augmented demand stemming from the defense program and the accompanying economic expansion. As a consequence, inflationary pressure has caused prices to lise greatly in excess of previously existing industry levels. Such price increases have markedly outslripped iost advances. fssuance of a Price Schedule is therefore necessary to_ protect consumers and those members of the industry who are attempting to keep price down.

Accordingly, under the authority vested in me by Executive Order No. 8734, it is hereby directed that:

l3l2.5l Maximum Prices for Douglas Fir Lumber. On and after October l, L941, regardless of the terms of any contract,,of sale or purchase or other commitment, no peison shall sell, offer to sell, or deliver to a purchaser,- for domestic or export use, any Douglas Fir lumber, where the shipment originates at the mill rather than at a distribution yard, at prices higher than the maximum prices set forth in Appendix A, incorporated herein as s 1312.6O, provided, that such maximum prices shall not apply where attual delivery has been made by the mill to the purchaser, or to a carrier for delivery to a purchaser, prior tb October l,1941.

1312.52 Less than Maximum Prices. Lorver prices than

those set forth in Appendix A, incorporated herein as s I3Lz.ffi may be charged, demanded, paid or offered.

t312.53 Evasions. The price limitations set forth in this Schedule shall not be evaded by unusual charges for extending credit or for early deliverl, by charges for delivery which exceed the actual cost of such delivery except as otherwise provided herein, by unnecessarily routing lumber through a distribution yard, or by other direct or indirect methods. The seller shall in all cases give the purchaser the option of making his own transportation arrangements.

1312.54 Records. Every person who, during any calendar month, shall sell 34,000 pounds or more of Douglas Fir lumber for shipment originating at the mill shall preserve for inspection bv the Office of Price Administration for a period-of not liss than one year, a complete and accurate record of every sale of such lumber made during such month, showing the date thereof, the name of the buyer, the prices, and the quantities and grades sold.

1312.55 Reports. Persons affected by this Schedule shall submit such reports to this office as it mav from time to time require.

1312.56 Enforcement. In the event of refusal or failure to abide by the price limitations and other provisions contained in this Schedule, or in the event of any evasion or attempt to evade the price limitations or other provisions contained in this Schedule. the Office of Price Administration will make every effort to assure (a) that the Congress and the public are fully informed of any failure to abide by the provisions of this Schedule, (b) that the powers of the Government are fully exerted in order to protect the public interest and the interests of those persons, who conform with this Schedule in the observance of the maximum prices and other provisions herein set forth, and (c) that the procurement services of the Government are requested to refrain from purchasing Douglas Fir lumber from those Dersons vvho fail to conform with this Schedule. Persons who have evidence of the demand of prices above the limitations set forth, of any evasion or effort to evade such requirements, of speculation, of price manipulation, or of the hoarding or accumulation of unnecessary inventories, are urged to communicate with the Office of Price Administration.

1312.57 Modification of the Schedule. Persons complaining of hardship or inecluity in the operation of this Schedule may apply to the Office of Price Administration

Pacific Coast Hardwood Distributors Hold Convention at Santa Barbara

P. R. Kahn of Forsyth Hardwood Co., San Francisco, was elected president of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association at the 19th annual convention held at the Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel, Santa Barbara, August 28-30.

A. E. Wanke of Wanke Panel Co., Portland, was elected vice-president, and Fred Smales, U. S. Plywood Corporation, San Francisco, was elected secretary-treasurer.

New directors elected are Norman C. Sawers, J. Fyfe Smith Co., Vancouver, B. C.; Dallas Donnan, Ehrlich-Harrison Co., Seattle; P. J. Ahern, Emerson Hardwood Co., Portland; James Davis, Davis Hardwood Co., San Francisco; Milton Taenzer, American Hardwood Co., San Francisco, and Al Frost, Frost Hardwood Co., San Diego.

President C. R. Taenzer presided at the business sessions. In his opening address, after welcoming the members, he urged the promotion and development of the use of hardwood lumber, and made constructive suggestions for getting results along this line.

Sectional reports of business conditions and the outlook for the future were given by LeRoy Stanton for the Los Angeles area; Don F. White for the San Francisco territory; A. E. Wanke for Portland; Jerry Sullivan for San Diego.

Practically all of the members joined in a general discussion of business conditions and future prospects.

A special feature of the evening was the after dinner talk by Captain Clarence E. Barry, Port Captain of the OwensParks Lumber Company's shipping department, who related some of his experiences in various parts of the world in a most interesting manner. Captain Barry is a life-time honorary member of International Adventurers, Inc., an organization whose membership is limited to six. He was elected some years ago to the vacancy caused by the death of Lord Carnarvon, discoverer of King Tut's tomb.

The principal speaker at the Friday morning business session was Dr. R. M. Langer, California Institute of Technology physicist, whose subject was "Science and Defense."

The physicist told the gathering that "pure" scientific research in the nation has come to a halt tvith all scientists working with the government on defense projects.

"Science, in contrast to industry, has turned all of its men and resources over to defense work," Dr. Langer said"Despite the abandonment of research work, great progress is being made, however, as an incidental result of defense experimentation."

As an example of work which emergency has halted, Dr. Langer named the Palomar telescope, on which grinding

has ceased since opticians are needed to produce military precision instruments.

A general discussion followed in which all members took part on the subject of defense problems that face the hardwood lumber industry.

A letter was read from John McClure, secretary of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, in which he asked members to attend the Association's convention at Atlanta, Ga., September 18, 19. The principal address at this convention will be given by Raymond Moley, editor of Newsweek, on "Inflation-The Destroyer."

The annual banquet and dance for delegates and wives was held on Friday evening.

Of the greatest interest to members was the talk at the Saturday morning session by Phillips A. Hayward, industrial consultant on forest products for the U. S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D. C., who spoke on the problems of the industry created by defense needs and concerning South American lumber development.

He said that prospects for developing new sources of supply in South America are hopeful, with the chief difficulties lying in transpoftation, and that the Rockefeller committee to promote interchange of commerce between the Americas has achieved considerable success in stimulating production of lumber for export in South America.

New members were announced by the chairman of the membership committee. These are Angelus Hardwood Co., Los Angeles, and Hammond Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

The new board of directors will decide on the convention city f.or 1942 and will make announcement of the place and date before the end of the year.

The winner of the golf tournament was W. F. (Bill) Fahs, of California Panel & Veneer Co., Los Angeles. The trophy was unusual, being a poker chip holder made of wood, enclosed in a case made of Oriental Walnut. The holder was oval shaped and laminated of Walnut, Fir plywood, Honduras Mahogany, Poplar, Figured Gum, with the top layer of solid Walnut with Walnut veneer. The presentation of the trophy was made at the dinner dance on Saturday evening.

Housing in the Post-\(/ar Era

By Paul Endicott, President United States Savings and Loan League, and of the Home Builders' Loan Association, Pomona, Calif.

It is common talk today that we are going to live in a different world after the war, as if everyone would be doing something different from his present occupation for a living when peace comes. There are millions of us in businesses of one sort or another, however, who would rather keep the jobs we have. It has been my observation that men involved in building, whether in selling building supplies or in contracting and actual building in all its ramifications, enjoy their occupation. They like it, just as I like the running of a financial institution which lends money for people to buy and build homes.

Therefore, suppose we take a look at the present and the future of building as an industry composed of the many small, independent units which now characterize it, of the men who relish this job of selling, and of creating homes. That kind of an industry depends on the continued domination of the housing field by private enterprise. The big 400 to 500-unit government housing project doesn't do much to increase the business of the material dealers in the community in which it is built, except for odds and ends here and there which somebody forgot to order from the big retailers or wholesalers who handled the job. If a local contractor should happen to get one of these contracts he finds himself so surrounded and entangled by the red-tape of plans made by a staff several hundred miles away and by the arbitrary decisions and unavoidable delays of such a set-up that his profits dwindle and he begins to doubt the wisdom of having taken the job at all. He isn't too likely to try it twice.

All this has not been a very serious menace to the individual units of the building industry to date. After all, during the 16 months between January l, l94O and May I, 1941, private residential construction accounted f'or $1,76,163,W of contracts, while public construction was doing only $273,52I,m. By number of units, we havb seen private enterpriseButting up new shelter f.or 599,302 f.amilies while public construction accounted for less than a seventh of that number. Public housing has not been suf-

ficient in most localities these last few years to make itself felt seriously by the community builder.

But there is a real reason why we should think more about this today. Some influential and persistent people are planning a different situation after the war. All you need do is to study the plans of the people who are most "housingconscious" in this country. They have elaborate visions for the post-war period, for rehousing America, for taking up the sldck in employment which will come after the armament boom dies down by spending billions on new places to live. Building these new residential units for people to buy and occupy as owners isn't very prominent in their thinking. Already the enthusiasts about public housing feel that the middle third of the population, middle as to income and standard of living, that is, will have to be housed at least partially by public construction.

This, as we all know, is the entering wedge which they hope to drive in order eventually to put all of that middle third of the population in government-owned housing projects which provide, with subsidies from the public, not only housing accommodations but elaborate plans for living arrangements all the way from organization of clubs and recreational facilities to tenant training. They are planning a giant housing program which will be embodied in multiunit affairs, which means materials ordered in large quantities from central sources, and building directed from Washington even if by way of the local housing authority. If this program is actually let loose on the country, the builder and the building materials merchant will really find that the world is mighty different after the war.

This doesn't have to happen. Just because some people with influence and tenacity are planning something is no reason why people who are in fact much more numerous and who think differenly shouldn't be planning an opposite attack. It does seem rather imperative, though, that those who do not want the public housing plan to eventuate should be thinking and organizing and cooperating with others who have the same idea. The goal of such thinking and planning would be an alternate plan for housing after

the war, an alternate plan for private enterprise to do as big a job of taking up the slack in employment, of keeping money in circulation, of putting people in better places to live as public housing ever could.

There are many elements which have to go into such a plan. Certainly the keeping of financing costs low is imperative if any private enterprise system is going to succeed with the American people in the future. I mean not only the direct costs of financing such as interest and commissions, even service charges. I refer also to the incidental or hidden costs of outmoded mortgage systems, with their refinancing charges and such. The monthly cost of home ownership must be maintained at a low level through long term loans without necessarily involving the credit of the United States g'overnment to guarantee the lender against loss. In a period when the resources of the country have been strained to new limits to provids armaments over a number of years, it would seem necessary to relieve the government of any expenses or risks in connection with the private financing of home ownership. That is one of the goals which any private enterprise plan for post-war home building should keep ever before it. For a third thing, the plan of private enterprise must come to grips with the problem of instability in the real estate market. Machinery should be included which will be effective in eliminating booms, for that is a corollary to eliminating depressions. And we in the building business know that depressions are fertile ground for attacks on private enterprise, unjustified though they may be.

This era will demand of private enterprise methods of producing housing better and more cheaply. Of course this problem has confronted the industry for many years past and some headway has been made here and there in solving it. But the answer is still not in sight. Ideas such as maintaining an annual wage in the building trades in order to reduce the cost of production have not been exhausted, have not been thoroughly studied or experimented with, as a matter of fact. Certainly a basic philosophy to be tried out in such a period of demand for less expensive home building is the dependence on a reasonable return to the building industry based on volume all along the line, rather than on high mark-ups for large profits on small volume.

This very much needed program for post-war private enterprise housing must also face the problem that some buildings in this country have lived too long and can easily approach the slum status. An effective way to enforce sanitary codes for dwelling units would put economic pressure on the owners either to tear those houses down or to completely rehabilitate them. A search for such an effective piece of machinery should be under way right now.

Let's remember that private enterprise has been accused of blindness to the obvious sequence of events, in years that have passed. The accusation, if justified, is by no means inherent in the system. Private enterprise in the building industry can plan ahead, cooperate, swing its many units into logical, strategic action and save the great majority of the communities in America from public housing. But it will have to have a plan. It will have to act as a unit. It will need to be willing to put up a fight and make some sacrifices if need be to preserve something we think is an essential part of the American way of life.

SIX SURE WAYS TO START A FOREST FIRE

l. Matches. Be sure your match is burning briskly when you throw it away in the woods. Of course a match thinks; that's what its head is for.

2. Tobacco. Thow your lighted cigarettes and cigar stubs and glowing pipe ashes into the biggest heap of brush and needles you can find along the road or trail. Only 40 per cent of our forest fires are caused by smokers.

3. Making Carnp. Build a big bonfire, and place it as close to young trees or clumps of brush as possible. To make sure that your fire will spread, build it on top of the pine needles.

4. Breaking Camp. Don't bother about your fire when you leave camp. The rain is bound to come along and put it out.

5. Bonfires. Build as big a bonfire as you can especially if it is dry and windy. If you build it close to a tree or a rotten log it will burn long after you are gone.

But-if you do any of these things close to a National Forest, be ready to pay a fine and go to jait-wltrere you belong.

There was a man who loved the bees, He always was their friend, One day he sat down on a hive, But trhey stung him in the end.

SHAW ON GOD

George Bernard Shaw, speaking as a layman in an English church, said, in part: "I like to think of my God as a young man with His career still before Him. I hate to think of Him as an old man who strikes bargains with his creatures about the salvation of their souls, or One who has to be bribed or begged."

TOO SMART FOR THAT

ADULTERATED

Many years ago Doctor Wiley was making his famous crusade for the passage of pure food laws in this country, he used to specialize in the following story:

"Four flies, which had found their way into a pantry at the same time, were bent on having a feast, for there was much food in sight. One few to the open flour barrel and ate heartily, but soon died, for the flour was loaded with plaster of Paris. The second perched on the sugar jar. But he fared no better, for the sugar was tinctured with white Iead. The third decided to try the syrup which stood temptingly open. But his legs were soon raised to the ceiling because the syrup was colored with aniline dyes. The fourth, seeing his three friends lying dead, was so overcome with grief that he decided to comrnit suicide. So he deliberately few to the fy poison, and drank deeply. But he is living yet. The fy poison was so adulterated."

TREE CONUNDRUMS

What tree its old age sadly cries? Elder. And from what tall one comes low sighs? Pine. Which bears the mark of a smouldering fire? Ash. And which to chastise you, takes your sire? Birch. Which do you carry about in your hand? Palm. And which one tall and slim doth stand? Poplar. Which one bears fruit so gold and round? Orange. And which one hears the sea's deep sound? Beech. Come, tell me, which is a stale joke? Chestnut. And which from a stale acorn woke? Oak. Which tree is cloth and fuel in one? Cottonwood. And from which does sweet fluid.run? Maple.

IF I SHOULD DIE TONIGHT

If I should die tonight-

And you should come to my cold corpse and kneelClasping my bier to show the grief you feel-

I say if I should die tonight,

And you should come in deepest grief and woe, And say "Here's that ten dollars that I otee;" I say if I should die tonight

And you should come to me and there and then Just even hint'bout payrng me that ten, I might arise the while, but I'd drop dead again.

South ern Pine Ceilins Prices Raised as Result of Industry Protest

New ceiling prices for Southern Pine, amending Price Schedule No. 19, have been issued by the Office of Price Administration, effective September 5. The new schedule raises prices above those fixed in the original order, and resulted from a conference between Peter A. Stone, Price Executive, with a committee of Southern Pine lumbermen, held in New Orleans, on Sunday, August 31.

This conference followed a mass meeting of the industry in New Orleans the preceding day, Saturday, August 30, attended by the largest crowd of Southern Pine manufacturers of any similar meeting in its history. Mr. Stone, as representative of Leon Henderson, Price Administrator, was on hand, and listened to protests voiced by manufacturers, large and small, from every producing state in the territory, to the effect that Price Schedule No. 19, as originally fixed, would destroy their business and seriously damage the industry.

Facts and figures were presented in support of a modification of the prices, and the following day, the special committee met with Mr. Stone to work out recommendations for changes.

"The general effect of the revisions" said Mr. Henderson, in his statement accompanying the new schedule, "is to raise ceiling prices so that thousands of small lumber

mills throughout the Southern Pine area will be able to continue in profitable operation." Mr. Henderson further pointed out that the original schedule made no special allowance for air dried lumber, which is the kind apparently being sold by the small mills.

Maximum prices in the original schedule were based upon air dried lumber in finished form. By the amendrnent, ceiling prices are based on "rough green" lumber, and additional charges are allowed to be made for air drying or kiln drying, surfacing, grooving, etc. One grade known as "finish," is eliminated as unimportant.

Several refinements of definitions also are contained in the amended schedule, reflecting trade usage or practices. For example, Longleaf Pine is further defined so as to make it clear that only the coarse-grain variety is covered by the schedule. The definition of a "mill" is re-stated so as to exempt from the price schedule the large number of lumber retailers in the South who operate planing and similar mills as adjuncts to their retail business. A "retail sale," according to the amendment, means a sale to a consumer or contractor for less-than-carload quantity. Mixed car shipments are defined' and an explanation of mixed truck shipments is added.

FHA Sponsors Home Remodeling Program for Delense Areas

Washington, D. C., Aug. 28.-"Repair for Defense," a theme stressing property preservation and the remodeling of homes in defense areas, will be the basic appeal of a new repair campaign sponsored this fall by the building industry, financial institutions, and the Federal Housing Arlnrinistration.

To convert old homes into defense housing and to prepare the "home front" for its job as the bulwark of America's defense, articles and advertisements in newspa.pers and magazines, announcements over radio stations, wilr<low and transportation posters, local demostrations, bor,f<lels, and other means of public education are being nrade ready throughout the nation.

Brand new provisions of FHA's property repair ('fitle 1) plan will back up the new drive with proper firrancing facilities. Federal Housing Administrator Ablrer f[. Fergusoin, commenting on the 1941 program, sairl: "'J.'his effort of the building and allied industries to do the big job of housing workers in our defense industries finds the m;rchinery already organized and running ef{icierrtly-thanl<s to seven years' experience in a. nationwidr: 1lr ogram of errcouraging constructive home improvemerrls."

The 1941 program, aimed exclusively ;rt defense pro,luction areas, will encourage the conversion uf old houses irrlo multiple-family dwellings or rooming ol boarding residences.

While the building industry is believed ready to construct as many new homes as required in such communities, it is realized that every available home already built should be utilized. Needed housing can be supplied quickly and economically from large well-located homes which are not being fully used. This is described as a sensible "short cut" to additional defense housing.

The new program will make strong use of the slogan "Defense calls for Home Repairs." Builders, contractors, financial institutions, material manufacturers, dealers, and others will cooperate to spread this theme from coast to coast through national and local advertising. The entire program is modeled after previous successful campaigns by the building and allied industries.

All who participate will be entitled to educational material supplied by the Federal Housing Administration without charge. This material includes:

A new emblem featuring the slogan "Repair for Defense" supplied by the FHA in mat form to newspapers for use in advertisements of building material dealers, contractors, lending institutions, etc.

Window stickel'-Featuring the same emblem, attractively printed irr color. Approximately I7'xlZ'.

New willdow displays-A colorful streamer, poster and side llicces for featuring the new repair program in dealers' windows. Included in this material are a winclow slrelmer (68"x16") and two vertical side pieces ((fr'xl6lt). This complete assortment is known as Wirr<low Display No.6.

l3ill boarrl poster-A colorful "24 sheet" bearing the slog;rn "[)efense Calls for Home Repairs."

A ltew st:ries of newspapcr advertisements featuring home repair and remodeling on the FHA Pay-out-of-Income l.'lir.rr. FHA will supply copy themes and mats of ilhrsttations to newspapers on request.

"l)caler Guide." A manual of information on the new 'l'itle I provisions and how FHA repair loans may be tttade and handled. This manual also outlines the new " Defense Calls for Home Repairs" program.

A new printed folder-"Remodeling Demanded by Defense Housing Program" (FHA Form No. 818). This folder, prepared for dealers and contractors, gives a picture of the present opportunities for repairing and remodeling larger houses into smaller living units.

Folder-"Defense Calls for Home Repairs." FHA Form No. 810 suggests what to do to make a home rentable and up-to-date.

Revised folder for dealers and general public. The FHA publication, "Improvements Eligible for Financing with FHA-Insured Loans" (Form FHA 145), has been revised and re-issued with the new Title I terms. This folder is designed primarily for dealers but may be used also for distribution to the general public.

Motion Picture-"'We Americans." a Technicolor short starring Frank Craven.

Radio dialogues-The FHA will supply a series of twelve S-minute dramatic radio dialogues that may be sponsored by local advertisers interested in selling home repairs.

This 1941 program, in which thousands of business concerns are expected to cooperate, will continue through the fall season. Many items of tie-in material are available through local media such as newspapers, radio stations, motion picture exhibitors, transportation advertisers, etc. Requests for booklets, window display material, dealer helps,. etc., should be addressed to the Division of Education, Federal Housing Administration, Washington, D. C.

FHA Deputy Administrator Holds Conference on "Repair for De(ense" Progt.m

The national emergency has multiplied demands for modern housing and "the FHA will continue to do all it possibly can to assist with construction of needed small homes in defense industrial areas," is the word brought from Washington, D. C., by Franklin D. Richards, deputy administrator of the Federal Housing Administration.

Mr. Richards was in San Francisco recently to conduct a zone conference of FHA directors and executives on new regulations designed to encourage the building and repair of houses in defense industrial areas. In attendance, with the Northern California district ofEce as host, were housing officials from Los Angeles, San Diego, Reno, Portland and Seattle.

"The Federal Housing Administration is proud of the important part it is playing in the defense housing problem," declared the deputy administrator. "'With the cooperation of realty developers, builders and private lending institutions, modern housing rapidly is being provided for the everincreasing army of workers in defense areas."

Second only to the construction of new homes in carrying forward the national defense program, in the opinion of Mr. Richards, is the rehabilitation of old homes and the conversion of large existing structures into multiple family dwellings.

"To assist with this important part of our defense housing program, FHA now is insuring loans in amounts from $2500 to $5000 to finance such improvements in areas where industrial activity has over-taxed housing facilities.

"These repair-for-defense loans are repayable, out of income, over periods as long as five years, and the new liberalized FHA terms, just announced, make them the lowest cost loans ever available for this type of financing."

The housing executive stated that although some delays and difficulties already had been experienced in securing materials in certain communities, FHA contemplates no serious shortage in designated defense areas, either for construction of new homes financed under Title VI or for the repair and conversion of existing dwellings under the newlyenacted section of Title I.

"Proper housing is a vitally important defense activity," Mr. Richards pointed out, "and in the final classification and assignment of priorities, undoubtedly it will be recognized as such."

Although a slowing up in the building of large and costly single family houses may result, due to shortage of materials, the FHA official said stimulated construction activity, both in home building and repairs, may be expected in defense areas where housing accommodations urgently are needed.

Willard Arthur Blanchard, president of the Blanchard Lumber Company at Burbank and North Hollywood, passed away Thursday, September 4, following a short illness. He was 75 years of age.

Mr. Blanchard was born in l\lt> rencie, Michigan. In 1911, he sold out his l.umber interests in Kansas and came to Southern California to establish a retail lumber business. With his brother Roscoe, who was connected with the lumber business in w. f,. Elcachcrrd Colorado, the Blanchard Lumber Company purchased the yards of the Suburban Lumber Company at Burbank and Lankershim, W. A. taking over the management of the Burbank yard and Roscoe becoming manager of the Lankershim (now North Hollywood) yard. The company was incorporated in t923.

Mr. Blanchard was active in Burbank civic afiairs. He served as mayor from 1914 to t922, and was a former president of the Burbank chamber of commerce and library board.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Maude Stevens Blanchard; a son, W. Judson Blanchard, treasurer of the company and manager of the Burbank yard; a daughter, Mrs. Neal Bruce; two brothers, Roscoe W. Blanchard, vice president and secretary of the company and manager of the North Hollywood yard, and W. M. Blanchard of El Monte; and two sisters, Mrs. J. L. Barton of Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. C. S.

Plywood Concern Sponsors Recreational Centcr for Soldiers

Just because a Grays Harbor former World War officer saw some soldiers bathing in the chilly waters of the Satsop River one evening last month a big recreational center, complete with showers, radios, piano, magazines, ping pong and pool tables, and athletic equipment, was quickly prepared for the soldiers' use.

The soldiers were the boys engaged in the war games on Grays lfarbor, and the ex-officer was E. W. Daniels, president of Harbor Ply,wood Corporation, lfoquiam, Wash., who realized the discomfort of trying to get clean outdoors in cold water and decided to do something about it.

Mr. Daniels got busy and rented the "Punchbowl," Aberdeen athletic club house, for the three weeks the war games were to continue; sent a Harbor Plywood Corporation crew to clean out the club house; had new showers installed and existing ones repaired, and arranged for the soldiers to use the club's boxing and wrestling equipment.

Rallying to the support of the idea, help came from the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization, other civic groups and individuals, thus adding to the comfort of many boys in their rough and ready temporary war games camp.

Ernie Pieper Wins State Golf Tide

Ernie Pieper of the Cheim Lumber Company, San Jose, won the California amateur golf championship, September 7, at Pebble Beach, when he defeated Bob Gardner of San Diego in the final, 4 and 2 on the 34th green.

This victory climaxed a l4-year quest for the State golf crown. Since 1927 he has missed only one tournament and for 11 of the past 12 years he has qualified for the match play. In eight of those years he has been at least a quarter finalist, and he was runner-up for the title in 1931.

Nat Thompson, son of "Tommy" Thompson of T. O. Thompson Lumber Co., Bell, Calif., returned recently from a trip to the Northwest. He visited a number of mills in the Klamath Falls and Eugene districts and was much interested in the opportunity for learning more about the production of Pine and Fir lumber. He came back by way of the Redwood Highway.

A splendid example of what can be accomplished by the use of Douglas Fir plywood is shown in the new office building of Associated Plywood Mills in Olympia, Wash.

The handsome structure is of plywood construction throughout, including both exterior and interior wall surfaces.

Associated Plywood Mills is the name of the consolidated sales department of three large plywood manufacturing plants: Olympia Veneer Company, Olympia, Wash.; Pacific Plywood Corporation, Willamina, Ore., and Eugene Plywood Company, Eugene, Ore. The three plants are owned by the same stockholders, the Olympia Veneer Company being the parent concern.

Officers of Associated Plywood Mills are Morris Sekstrom, president; T. F. Eckstrom, vice-president, and Hollis J. Nunneley, sales manager.

The aggregate annual production of the three mills is about 240,000,000 feet of plywood.

Olympia Veneer Company was organized in 1920 and was the first exclusive manufacturer of commercial Douglas Fir plywood. The Willamina plant was built two years ago. The Eugene plant was completed in 194O, and is equipped entirely with hotplate presses.

Spacing of Roo[ Sheathing for Wood Shinsles

Reproduced below is a chart prepared by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau on the subject of spacing of roof sheathing for wood shingles which will be of interest to every lumber dealer. This method has been approved by the Southern California district office of the FHA.

These specifications pertain to the application of Wood Shingles upon spaced wood roof sheathing-either the various sizes of sheathing can be spaced the same distance apart as the shingle exposure, or 1x6 sheathing can be applied on double the shingle exposure. With this latter method, which is very economical, two courses of shingles are nailed to each sheathing board, with nailing points approximately 1 inch ftom the lower and upper edges of the board. Sheathing boards wider than 1x3 should be attached to each bearing with at least two 8-penny or heavier nails.

The figures in Column 1 of the table shown below represent the distance in inches between the lower edge of the first sheathing board at the eave-line and the lower edge of an arbitrarily placed sheathing board in the expanse of the roof. The sheathing boards are to be spaced from this arbitrarily placed sheathing board (Column l) in two directions-downward until solid sheathing is encountered (it being customary to apply sheathing solidly for varying distances from the eave-line) and upward to the peak or ridge of the roof. The figures are based on a shingle overhang of lf" beyond the lower edge of the first sheathing board

at the eave. Add or subtract, respectively, any lesser or greater shingle overhang; e. g., deduct r/4" lrom Column 1 for an overhang of. l3f". Deduct from the distances shown in Column 1 the thickness of any moulding which is applied to the lower edge of the first sheathing board.

Each shingle should be nailed at a point lf" above the butt line of the next course to be applied. Extreme care must be exercised by the shingler regarding this nailing; the nailing of shingles too high may cause rejection of the roof upon official inspection.

Next, nail sheathing boards on 9tt exposures (lower edge to lower edge as shown in Column 2) below this board until tight sheathing is encountered and above this board until peak or ridge of roof is reached. Starting course of shingles should be given an overhang of. lf"; shingles should be nailed Lf" above butt line of next course to be applied and nails should strike sheathing about 1" from each edge.

Army Chooses !(/ood Construction for Regimental Chapels

Washington, August D-In America's thorough-going Defense program, the religious aspect of life has not been neglected. The Army is erecting 604 chapels in the various posts, camps, and stations. As each regiment will have its own, as many as 15 or N will be built in some of the larger cantonments.

These chapels are provided with movable altars, so that each can be adapted to serve the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths which, in effect, triples the figures given above.

The architecture of the Army chapel is typical of the small wood churches found in many American communities . . . a peaked roofed, frame building with a steeple at the front.

Costing approximately $21,000 the chapels measure 37x81 feet and have a seating capacity of 400. Each is provided with an electric organ.

The majority are built with four rigid frame roof trusses, spaced 11 feet, 6 inches on center, spanning the auditorium. Teco split ring connectors are used to join the wood-towood connections and Teco shear plates to join the woodto-metal connections. The majority of the connections are butt joints. This necessitates use of. zl inch thick metal gusset plates to tie the joints together, and four-inch shear plates are used to transfer the loads ftom the timber to the metal plates.

Three-by-six inch timber is used in the web system and the bottom chord of these trusses, and three-by eight-inch timber in the top chord. The truss reactions are carried by three 3x14-inch columns at both ends. These columns are anchored to the footings by metal angles and four-inch shear plates.

Exposed, the trusses are stained a dark color and adorn the interior of the chapels. The columns, covered with a rigid insulation material, form pilasters. IJnit heaters are susoended from the center of the trusses.

Safe driving awards were presented recently to 74 drivers of The Diamond Match Company's lumber trucks in the Chico, Calif., district by E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol. The awards were honor citations ranging from one to four years.

Home ys. Guns is False lssue, Foundation Chairman Declares

Replying to proponents of restriction of civilian home building for the period of the national emergency, Southern California Homes Foundation heads declare that among the basic necessities of life there is a nation-wide shortage in housing alone and that there are good prospects of sufficient supply of building materials for both defense and civilian needs. Defense officials and building industry leaders are at an advanced stage of effective organization for such supply, according to the Foundation.

"As an example of this drive, West Coast lumber manufacturers met on July 31, and pledged increased production in response to a request from Donald Nelson and Leon Ifenderson," says Orrie W. Hamilton, Chairman of Southern California Homes Foundation. "Defense officials in turn are making every effort to provide needed sawmill and logging machinery for stepping up lumber production. According to OPM, defense construction expenditures reached a peak of 380 millions for the month of May and should decline sharply from September on to lily, 1942, barring a large new cantonment building program.

"Retail lumber dealers generally have enlarged their stocks of building materials, to meet both defense and civilian needs to the best of their ability. Metal materials have been hard to obtain, in many cases, and delivery of all materials has been much slower than in normal times. But with the united prospects of reduced defense construction and of stronger organization between Government and the building industry, there is good assurance of effective supply of both building materials and building labor for civilian needs.

"With the skies clearing over the home-building field, advocacy of the suspension of FHA 'for the duration' or of similar measures to restrict private home building is baseless and destructive. Homes vs. guns is a false issue. Food, clothing and shelter are necessities of the material wellbeing of America, and this is what we are defending. At the top of the institutions of American democracy is the family home, and these institutions are what we are defending. There is a plentiful supply of food and clothing,

and there is a great shortage of housing. Home building is beyond question the No. I item on the critical list of civilian needs, after defense requirements are met."

The Foundation this week offers an economy plan, ideally suited to the needs and tastes of California families. Your local retail lumber dealer can adapt this design to meet your special wants.
