CAN PLYWOOD BE SPECIFIED NOW FOR POSTWAR USES?

The increased capacity of the industry will nake MORE Douglas fir plywood available for civilian consumption THAN EVER EEFORE, as soon as the needs of the armed services lessen or war restri€tions are lifted. There will be no reconversion delays; the sane types and grades of Douglas fir plywood that are now being made can flow immediately into peace-time building and construction.

ASSOCIATION

There are thr€e grades of Douglas fir plywood panels made especially for various phases of irall construction, PLYWALL is made especially for standard wallboard use; PLYPANEL is a premium panel used for quality interior work; PLYSCORD is a utility panel made fot wall and roof sheathinS.

Looking Over the Lumber Siruqfion

t-335 To Be Revoked Sept. 30

As this issue goes to press news comes from Washington that Order L-335 will be revoked September 30. This means that no further allocation of lumber will be made after the third quarter allotments are completed.

Lumber is hard to buy today, and one of the main reasons for this is, of course, the pent-up demand lrom 22,W lumber 1'arcls, also industrial users and railroads.

Another reason is the threat of a strike. Workers in the fir sau'mills in \A/ashington voted last rnu'eek 6 to 1 to strike to enforce a minimum wage demand. Other districts still to be heard from rnay vote the same way. A strike of 900 CIO l'oods'orkers in the Klamath Falls area has kept 2200 men idle for the past several weeks.

Retail lumber dealers are interested in finding out lvhat amount and kind of lumber they can get now and in the immediate future, how much the mills still have to ship on Army, Navy and Government purchases, and what percentage of the sarvmills' cut is being shipped nor,v to the retail lumber trade.

In the effort to find the answers to these cluestions wires were sent to the three Pacific Coast lumber manufacturing Associations. In their reply the West Coast Lumbermen's Association says that Government dernand is considerable, and that reports indicate that probably orders for i00 million feet have not been cancelled. They also state that follou,ing release from L-335 restrictions and receipt of militarv cancellations such capacity was sold to normal trade lvith the largest part going to retail dealers. It is their ltelief that barring loss of production the next two to three months will bring increasingly improved dealer suppl1', and that by the end of the year the situation should be fairlv t'ell stabilized. Their reply concluded .ivith the statement that fir uppers u,'i1l be in short supply as long as ply'n'ood demand causes conversion of clear logs into veneers.

The Western Pine Association replied that all species and all grades of the Western pines can be shipped to retail vards 1611', and that all lumber being manufactured nou' is going to industrial and retail trade, except that mills must accept and ship all rated orders aheacl of non-

rated. Approximately 35,00O,000 feet must yet be shipped on Government orders, they estimate.

The California Redwood Association's reply states that the current month's production of Redwood lumber is being shipped on military and other rated orders, but that after October 1 military requirements will be relatively small; that production of green Redwood yard lumber formerly supplied to ,the military will be available to meet civilian needs. S.ome of this production, they say, will be shipped green on urgent orders, but a large percentage must necessarily be piled and dried before the industry can meet cnstomary yard demands for dry finished Redwood.

Production 'was reported by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association {or the week ended September 1 as 86,623,W feet, compared with 82,631,000 feet for the week ended August 25.

The Western Pine Association reported production for the u'eek ended August 25 as 45,908,000 feet, compared with 34,836,000 feet for the week ended August 18.

Manpower shortage is still the biggest factor in holding down production. Rain in Oregon and Washington has just about ended the forest fire hazard.

L-41 R'estrictions on Repair And Alterations Litted

An Amendment to L-41 was released September 7 exempting the following types of construction from L-41, and allowing such construction to proceed without WPB approval: (l) All alterations or repair work not involvin-g exterior additions or major exterior alterations. (2) Construction of transportation facilities, including bus and truck terminals, airports, oil and gas pipe lines. (3) Complete exemption of the construction of roads. (4) Construction of farm buildings other than farm dwellings.

Predicts Annual Construction Volume CPA Purchases Exceed 23 Million Feet Ot $15,000,000,000 lor 5 Years

The U. S. Department of Labor in a recent report predicts an average volume of nerv construction ol $10,924,000,000 per year and an average volume of maintenance and repair rvork of $4,418,000,000 per year during this year and the first five postwar years. The average {or private new construction is estimated at $7,896,000,000 per year and for public new construction at $4,028,000,000 per year'

The largest single item of private nerv construction is residential, non-farming building estimated at 850,000 units per year average. In addition the report predicts 50,000 publicly financed non-farm units per year average' This total of 900,000 units is about 3 per cent above the highest previous five year average ol 872,W non-farm units realized from 1923 through 1927.

Key Industries' Production to Exceed 1939-41 Rcrte by End ol Yecrr

The nation's key industries will be producing more goods in terms of dollars by the end of 1945 than they turned out in the 1939-1941 base period, according to a prediction made by WPB Chairman Krug in Washington August 30.

Mr. Krug released a survey covering 42 industries facing serious reconversion difficulties. One of the points made by the survey is that by June, 1946 their production ma,v skyrocket to 187 per cent, with emploYment up to 133 per cent of the base period,

Tire Output Curb l-ifted

In a move to increase civilian supplies, WPB lifted all restrictions on the number of passenger auto, motorcycle and bicycle tires that manufacturers may produce effective Sgptember 6. The agency also removed restrictions on the production of passenger car and small truck tubes.

Salesmqnship Alq TokYo

Jack Gordon, colttmnist for the Ft. Worth Press, says that the first civilian to reach Tokvo after the Jap surrender was a salesman named Nussbaum; HE WAS SELLING HARA.KIRI KNIVES.

The Central Procurement Agency endbd its job of lumber procurement for the armed forces August 28.

Altogether CPA bought 23,251,ffi0 board feet of lumber since the latter part of. lgn, with a money value of well over a billion dollars.

Directed from Washington by Col. F. G. Sherrill, Chief of the Procurement Division of the Corps of Engineers, with the cooperation on behalf of the Navy of Commander Walter W. Kellogg, USNR, of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, the agency did a good job, with a minimum of friction and a maximum of results.

The big buying program was carried on through organizations established in New York City, Charlotte, N. C., Atlanta, Jacksonville, Birmingham, New Orleans, Memphis, San Francisco, Lexington, Ky., and Portland, Ore.

Major William M. Porter will remain in charge of the small staff now maintained at the Portland office to buy for the current needs of the Army Engineers.

Will Assist in Industry Reconversion

Moving swiftly to enable industry to carry out its program of $4,500,000,000 for new plant, equipment and alterations in the shortest possible time, J. A. Krug, Chairman of the War Production Board, recently appointed Joseph D. Keenan, the board's vice chairman for labor production.

In his new position as special assistant to the chairman in charge of construction, Mr. Keenan will speed up construction activities necessary for reconversion and will represent WPB on the InterAgency Committee for Construction, recently established by the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion.

"Particular emphasis will be placed by Mr. Keenan on industrial construction, so that manufacturing activities can be expanded without delay and jobs opened up for returning service men and for workers as they are released from rvar production," Mr. Krug said.

Prelcrbriccted Housing

The OPA has given producers of pre-fabricated drvellings an interim pricing formula that will permit a greater amount of automatic pricing. (Order 756 under section 1449.3 (b) under the GMI'jR, efiective Aug. 13). OPA-T-3554.

..THEY ARE HOMEWARD BOUND_ TAKE CARE OF THEM''

t< ,1. t

The above immortal words concluded the address which the "Magnificent MacArthur" delivered to the people of America at the formal surrender of the Japs.

Let the following excerpts from that address sink into your soul. There have been few statements to compare with these made in American history. He said:

t<{.*

"My fellow countrymen: Today the gtrns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won' The skies no longer rain death. The seas bear only commerce. Men everywhere WALK UPRIGHT IN THE SUNLIGHT.

t<*{.

"The entire world is quietly at peace. The holy mission has been completed. And, in reporting this to you, the people, I speak for the thousands of silent lips, forever stilled among the jungles and the beaches and in the deep waters of the Pacific, which marked the way. *t*

..I SPEAK FOR THE UNNAMED BRAVE MILL. IONS HOMEWARD BOUND TO TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE OF THAT FUTURE !\IHICH THEY DID SO MUCH TO SALVAGE FROM THE BRINK OF DTSASTER

"As I look back on the long, tortuous trail from those grim days of Bataan and Corregidor when an entire world lived in fear; when democracy was on the defensive everywhere; when modern civilization trembled in the balance; I THANK A MERCIFUL GOD THAT HE HAS GIVEN US THE FAITH, THE COURAGE, AND THE POWER FROM WHICH TO MOULD VICTORY. ***

"We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be no turning back. We must go forward to preserve in peace what we won in war."

t<*{<

(And MacArthur, after other praiseworthy and beautifully worded remarks, closed thus:)

"To the Pacific basin has come the vista of a new and emancipated world. Today, freedom is on the offensive, democracy is on the march. Today, in Asia as in Europe, unshackled peoples are tasting the full sweetness of 'liberty' the relief from fear.

"And so, my fellow countrymen, today I report to you that your sons and daughters h'ave served you well and faithfuUy with the calm, deliberate, determined fighting spirit oi the American soldier and sailor, based on a tradition of historical trait, as against the fanaticism of an enemy supported only by mythological fiction; and their spiritual strength and power has brought us through to victory'

The realism, clarity, and grandeur of the mind of General MacArthur is well demonstrated in the above words' And a new book just issued by Duell, Sloan & Pierce, and edited by Frank C. Waldrop, lends further fame to the eloquence of "Magnificent Mac," when it quotes from his farewell address to the Rainbow Division, which he led through the First World War. in which he used these words:

"on such an occasion "Janir, ,ly -ita goes back to those men who went with us to their last charge' In memory's eye f can see them now, forming grimly for the attack, bluelipped, covered with sludge and mud, chilled by the wind arra rain of the fox hole, DRIVING HOME TO THEIR I OBJECTIVE AND THE JIIDGMENT BAR OF GOD. I do not know the dignity of their birth; but I do know the glory of their death. They died unquestioning, uncomplaining, with faith in their hearts, and on their lips the hope that we would go on to victorY."

Truly, MacArthur is not only epical as a soldier and leader, he is likewise tremendous as an orator. Not in decades has any American uttered words of his own thinking and making that compare in eloquence, and depth, and grandeur with those quoted "Oot". * * *

And his concluding words-"They are homeward bound -takecareofthem,''shotrldbemadethefirstlineofthink. ing and doing for every true American heart' When they gei Uack and seek to find a place again in the world of peace' l.t th.- never for a single moment have cause to doubt or even guestion our gratitude. Let us remember always the feeling of unbelievable trust and pride we felt for them *hen with fire and sword they were stopping the onward sweep of evil across the world-protecting with their own fesh everything that we held dear-and let us act accord' ingly. Helping our soldiers to get on in the world should be the test of every true man; and the lack of such help should be the well publicized attitude of a slacker. "Magnificent MacArthur" is sending them back to us. Take care of them.

And now, ladies and gents, step right up and witness the starting of the greatest sale in history ; a sale that compares with the greatest previous sale within the history of civilization like the explosion of an atomic bomb compares with the snapping of little Willie's cap pistol.

Uncle Sam, ladies and gents, your own Uncle Sam (of which delightful personality you are, of course, a very integral part and parcel) is starting in to sell and otherwise dispose of some forty billion dollars worth of surplus goods, "surplus commodities" they are called, consisting of tens of thouands of separate and distinct items ranging from tooth brushes le{t in the PX's, to locomotives and ships of the line; from pencils to thousands of great motor vehicles.

Wl-ratever is no longer needed for what is left of the great r"'ar, rvill be disposed of. As this is written there is a move on foot before Congress to appoint some one man to head this most gigantic of all sales enterprises; and on the skill with which the job is done will depend just how many billions Uncle Sam rvill get back out of the {orty billions or more he has invested in these things. There is a great job for some great salesman.

When I approach the job of trying to give our readers some idea of what this sale consists of, and how unbelievably big it is, it makes my knees knock like those of a green orator. You will understand that if it were possible to secure a list of the things, the very general things, that our armed services now have to dispose of, that list would fill every page of this book,'and there would be plenty left over for rvant of room. So I can only hope to give you a general idea. And, in case you rnay be interested, to tell you something of the distribution and sales units that have charge of the job at the present time. Those set-ups are subject to change when the new general manager gets appointed and takes over, but for the present at least, the disposal agents have been officially outlined.

Perhips a good way to illustrate the size and quantity of stuff the government finds on its hands, would be THIS story. When the war suddenly ended they stopped the movement of all war materials that could be immediately classified as no longer needed. So they stopped the shipment of all shipbuilding steel that was then enroute to the shipyards of the West, and ordered it returned to Chicago for unloading, so that the cars could be turned loose. There wCTe SIX HUNDRED CARLOADS OF SHEET STEEL THUS DIVERTED. Why, ladies and gents, you can't even think six hundred carloads of sheet steel any more than you can think forty billion dollars. That is some steel.

At this time they are unloading all these cars just out of Chicago on the Indiana side of the line. It required a great effort, and hasty preparations. They had to gather together dunnage in the shape of cheSp wood of all .sorts to put on the ground under the steel. And they had to gather other materials of various sorts to cover the unloaded steel. And later will come the matter of disposing of this enormous amount of construction material. What can it be used for? Who will want it?'How much improvisation will have to be done to salvage it all ?

I offer that as just one item in the line of surplus commodities that the government has on hand. There will be tens of thousands of automobiles, trucks, motor vehicles of many other sorts, tractors, bulldozers, jeeps. There will be enormous parts and replacements for all these items. There is being displayed at the present time in scores of places throughout the land samples of'machinery ready for disposal. You will see worlds of the highest quality machines ever built. Lots of them were specially built for special purposes, and may never find a civilian need. Others will. You gasp, as I did, at the perfectly marvelous looking machine shop and other equipment that the armed services used. What shall become of them ? Who can use them ? What good purpose can they serve in peace time? There will be electrical motors in a myriad of shapes. There will be thousands of electric sewing machines and equipment of that sort that have been used for army and navy clothing repairs. There will be army clothing', new and second hand. There will be millions of items of bedding, sheets, etc. There will be millions of items of professional and scientific instruments, agricultural machinery and implements, engineering equipment, stoves, kitchen equipment. There will be ships and the tens of thousands of small boats and paraphernalia that go with ship and landing operations. There lvill be life preservers in great volume; likewise life rafts and all their equipment. There will be gas masks and the things that go with them. There is railroad signal control equipment, sprinkler systems, lathes of every size and sort, refrigerators, etc. There will be the personal equipment items of both soldier and sailor. There will be boxes and trunks. There will be entire plants of a hundred different sorts. There rvill be lots of building material, mostly used, some new. There will be great numbers of enormous warehouses to be torn down and disposed of. There will be great camps and their buildings to be gotten rid of. There will be new lumber and other building materials

FUTL SPEED TO

TOKYO

WnpN people ask you about the availability of lumber for today's postwar construction, tell them that lumber will soon be flowing freely into domestic markets.

Tell them that lumber volume will be adequate to serve normal civilian requirements. Assure them that postwar lumber will be equal to the finest ever produced by the industry.

With great modern dry kilns providing "manufactured weather", the time needed to produce properly seasoned lumber is greatly reduced. Where natural seasoning requires months, kilns are now performing the sam6 service in a matter of hours. Over 40 million board feet of seasoned lumber can be turned out each working day by the dry kilns of the industry.

These kilns can speed the postwar delivery of seasoned lumber for civilian consumption. What the industry has done for the war, it can do for peacetime needs, because war needs and civilian needs are almost identical.

As a nation we have the timber, the mills, and the facilities to produce quality lumber for all our normal needs. Timber is a Crop. Modern forest management, with proper forest harvesting practices, is making significant strides toward the goal of sustained timber yield where timber growth equals the harvest.

You can count on lumber, our great renewable natural resource, for future building needs.

Bingen on the Rhine

Last winter when the American troops swept to the Rhine, dispatches told of the taking of the little town of Bingen. To many an old timer that report brought back a lovely poem that became a song years ago, a po€m called "Bingen on the Rhine." An interesting thing about that song about a German soldier from Bingen who fell fighting in the French Foreign Legion in Africa, was that its author was a gifted English woman, Caroline Sarah Norton, a fairly respected poetess of the Victorian literary period in England. She wrote many other things, but none of them attained the fame of her poem about Bingen. It started out:

"A soldier of the Legion, lay dying in Algiers, There was lack of woman's nursing, there was.dearth of woman's tears;

But a comrad,e knelt beside him as his lifeblood ebbed away,

And bent with pitying glance to hear each word he had to say.

'Bear a message and a token to some distant friends of mine,

For I was born at Bingen-fair Bingen on the Rhine."'

And the tear'stirring poem ended with these words of the dying soldier boy:

"'f let them take whate'er they would, but kept my father's sword;

And with boyish love I hung it where the bright light used to shine, On the cottag,e wall at Bingen-fair Bingen on the Rhine."'

Properly Named

Employment Clerk: "Chief, there is an applicant here who says he used to make his living sticking his right arm in the lion's mouth at a circus."

Manager: i'\Mhat's his name?"

Employment Clerk : "'Le[ty' Jones."

"Sccrbbing" Through LiIe

Life is an obligation. We are obligated to the Great Executive for the privilege of helping Him in His work of bettering the world. Every time I see a man or woman going through life tearing down through hate rather than building up through love, I seem to feel that he or she is a "scab" in God's snign-a union whose constitution is the Golden Rule and whose by-laws are founded on Service.

John J. Ingalls once said: "Forests decay, harvests perish, fowers vanish, but grass is immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen frosts of winter, it withdraws into the impregna' ble fortress of its subterranean vitality and emerges u.pon the first solicitation of Spring."

Tempted

Judge: "What induced you to strike your wife?"

Defendant: "Well, Judge, she had her back to me, the broom was handy, and the back door was open so I could run, and I just thought I'd take a chance."

. Burns on Educcrtion

One of the bitterest critics of higher education was Bobby Burns, the immortal Scotchman. Once he wrote: "A set of dull, concbited hasps, Confuse their brains in college classes, They gang in stirks, and come out asses, Plain truth to speak; And, syne they think to climb ParnassusBy din' o' Greek !"

left in stock piles. There will be used and unused boxes and crates in great volume, from which building material may be reclaimed'

No use trying for more complete lists' The greatest army and navy in history will dispose of its surplus commodities through accredited government channels, and I can only give you general hints.

Who will handle all this material ? Generally speaking' here is how it is being done. All consumer goods will be handled through the Department of Commerce, and that includes such heavy things as cars, trucks, jeeps, etc', all the things that will tre sold to consumers' All heavy goods, capital and producers goods, will be sold through the Surplus Property Division of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, except where complete plants are concerned and ih"." ur" in the hands of the Defense Plants Corporation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation' Everything that has to do with ships and what goes with them is in the hands of the Maritime Commission. All agricultural land and property is in the hands of the Farm Credits Administration.

LUMBER AND BUILDING MATERIAL STOCKPILES.

I am advised that all lumber and other building material stock piles of the U. S. Government vi'ill be handled through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, in the following way: First, all material will be inventoried, second, all agencies of the government will then be furnished inventories and given first call on the materials, having 18 days in which to take what they rvant; third, what is left will be offered to municipal, city, county, and state governments, and allowed 12 days to act; fourth, after these 30 days the remnant will be offered to the public, including lumber yards. This, I am advised, is the straight dope.

With regard to buying automobiles through the Depart-

ment of Commerce, this will take time and the usual red tape. In fact there will be and is a lot of red tape connected with the sale of all this property, which is regrettable. The motor cars will be 'circulari zed by the Commerce Department to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration first, and then to all governmental agencies, and then to the public, so it will take about ninety days after the Cornmerce Department gets them, before the public could hope to get any. And then they must be bought through a dealer. But there will be lots of them, and if the government would speed up their sale, there would be a much better market and better price than later on when new cars are available. But those are things the government shows little interest in.

There will be thousands of items for sale that the average lumberman would be much interested in if he knew about them. Those desiring information should list their names with their nearest regional office of the disposal agencies. There is an RFC office in every region throughout the country, sometimes one in a state, sometimes several. Regional offices of the Department of Commerce are more scattered. There is one in Fort Worth, Texas, covering Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas. There is one-in Kansas City, Mo., covering Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. There is one at 1206 Maple Avenue, Los Angeles, cover'ing Arizona, Califorriia, and Nevada. All the operations spoken of in this article are conducted under the authority of the Surplus Property Act, now in the hands of the Surplus Property Board, which makes all the policies for the disposal of surplus properties.

As developments occur with regard to this mammoth sale now starting, we 'r'n'ill try and keep you advised. I doubt if there is anything in this great sale that will hurt the business of anybody. As far as building materials and lumber are concerned, these are going to be short for a long, long time to come, and any surpluses of this character that the government can return to civilian use, rvill be helpful to all concerned. But the live dealer may find himself interested in the purchase and further distribution of a world of this material when he gets it lined up. I

Harold V. Simpson Appointed Secy.-Mgr. \(/est Coast Lumbermen's Association

Portland, Ore., Sept. 6, 1945-Announcement of the retirement of Col. W. B. [ireeley from active management of the West Coast Lrrmbermen's Association and the appointnrent of Harold V. Simpson as his successor u'as made by IrVCLA President Dean Johnson, follorving a rneeting of the Association trustees at Gearheart, Ore., today.

The change will take place, NIr. Johnson said, as soon as the nerv secretary-manager can lvind up the affairs of the Washington, D. C., ofifice of the Association, where lre has been in charge since Septen'rbet, 1942. A rvartime office, it will be discontinued.

"Col. Greeley rvill remain u'ith the Association in an advisory capacity," the WCLA President stated.

Describing the nen- secretary-manager of the Association as " a native and product of Oregon, rvith experience that has followed West Coast lumber trade over the world," Mr. Johnson emphasized the need of the Pacifi'c Northwest's major industry for dynamic sales promotion effort in the years ahead. "Hal Simpson is porvered and trained to head a drive to maintain West Coast lumber against the competition of other building materials and of foreign forest industries," he declared.

Born at Ashland, Oregon, July 18, 1897, that city was Mr. Simpson's home, the announcement stated, until World War I, in which he had front line service with the Artillery in France. He enteqed the Univer5ity of Oregon upon his return, graduating in 1923 as President of the senior'class and with a B.A. Degree in Business Administration. He was active on the stafis of the university's literary publications, rvith classmates Ernest Haycox, Palmer Hoyt and other present-day luminaries of Oregon literature and journalism, but took to lumbering after graduation. His fra-

ternities were Delta Tau Delta, Beta Gamma Sigma and Beta Alpha Psi.

"Mr. Simpson then learned lumbering from the ground up, rn orking in various sawmills for tr,r'o years and then at selling lumber in the intensely'competitive New York market," Mr. Johnson said. "He served a long term in the export field of the lumber business, including a considerable period of trade promotion in the United Kingdom and South Africa, and as secretaiy and assistant manager of the Seaboard Lumber Sales Company, Ltd-, of Vancouver, British Columbia. He had six years of lumber experience in Seattle.

"When war supply became the all-over job of the West Coast lumber industry, the Association found it necessary to open an office in the national capital. As Washington manag'er, Mr. Simpson did a great job.all through the war in his efiorts to coordinate the lumber demands of the Army and Navy with the West Coast industry's resources and means of produ'ction, and to get g'overnment consideration for the industry's manpower and equipment problems' Now he is needed for the gigantic competition between materials that looms from the coming building market at home, and in the world market for lumber which is sufe to expand tremendously after the peace settlements'"

L.A. Buitding Hits New 1945 High

Building activity in Los Angeles hit a neu' high for the year during August as a total of.2,70I permits were issued at an estimated value of $7,288,286. Total for the l\ke 1944 month showed 2,486 permits valued at $3,fr8,796'

Over half the building valuation went for housing with a total of 636 dwellings at $3,561,303 approved during the past month. Accommodations for a grand total of 881 families r'i,ere included in these dwellings and l7O apartment houses.

Average cost of the 626 single houses was $5,552 last month compared with $3,375 averag'e cost for the 397 units approved a year earlier.

Private home construction, in spite of war time restrictions still in effect, is beginning to show an increase, Commissioner Raymond M. Foley of the Federal Housing Administration reported September 1'

Applications lor i.rsured financing on new homes to be constructed under the provisions of Title II of the FHA program averaged more than 1,000 a week during the three month period from May through July.

In July the FHA field offices received applications from private financial institutions to insure mortgages to finance ihe construction of 5,035 new homes of which 4,224 wete to be built under the peace time provisions of Title II'

During the same month in 1944, applications for FHA mortgage insurance totalled 2,792, of. which all but 129 were to be built under the wartime provisions of Title VI'

"This is an indicatiqn", Mr. Foley said, "that the private home builders of America, financed by private lending institutions under the FHA program' are starting on their postwar programs to meet the nation's acute housing shortage. Builders have to have their plans ready when they apply for mortgage insurance."

Bert E. Bryan, Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland, was guest of honor at a luncheon at the Jonathan Club, Los Angeles, September 5, attended by members of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardr,l'ood Distributors Association, of which organization he is president.

Representatives were present from the following firms: Atlas Lu,mber Co., Bohnhoff Lumber Co., W. E. Cooper Lumber Co., Owens-Parks Lumber Co., E. J. Stanton & Son, Tropical & Western Lumber Co., IJ. S. Plywood Corp., and Western Hardwood Lumber Co.

Wolmanized tent poles, octagonal-shaped, are sholvu stacked for drying after treatment at a Southern woodpreserving plant. More than a million feet of the poles were pressure treated for Navy advance base shelters iri the South Pacific, where termites, molds and fungi are constant enemies of wood and canvas.

According to a Navy spokesman South Sea termites can riddle an ordinary tent polt in a few weeks, but with pressure treatment which drives chemicals deep into wood fibers, tent poles will outlast South Sea lsland bases.
