The California Lumber Merchant - October 1940

LICING up a log for the best lumber is like slicing up a hog for the best cuts. Both take skill, experience and facilities. In the mills of Union Lumber Company, Redwood logs up to 10 feet in diameter are reshaped into huge planks by the giant band saws-the first step in their conversion into Lifetime Lumber. * Throughout every operation, NOYO keeps a watchful eye to maintain the standard of NOYO quality that keeps true "Once a NOYO Dealer-AIways."

Rudyard Kipling was more than a great Englishman, a great poet, and a great patriot; he was a great prophet. Read this, from his work "The Islanders," in which he talks of those who wait too late for their preparedness:

But ye say "It will mar our comfort."

Ye say "It wil minish our trade."

Do ye wait for the spattered shrapnel, Ere ye learn how a gun is laid?

For the low, red glare to the Southward

When the raided coast towns burn?

Light ye shall have on that lesson-

But little time to learn.

Strong premonition of things to come in those words written long ago, aren't there? As these lines are being typed the "spattered shrapnel" is making a Hell out of London, and out of the lives of the brave English people. But another British bard, a far greater one as poets go, writing hundreds of years ago declared HIS belief that, no matter how bad the going may get, England will never be taken. For Shakespeare wrote:

This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror. Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. *

Of course, before Shakespeare's time, England 'telt the foot of a conqueror" nu.rnerous times. Not like in these times, however. Each successive invasion of the British Isles brought new blood lines from the farthermost corners of what was then the world, and finally fused them into what we now call England. The early history of the land is that of savage tribes battling one another. The first great invasion that brought culture was that of Caesar, about 55 B. C. IIe came with 80 ships, and partly conquered England. The next year he came again with 800 ships, and did a better job of it. But he never took ScotIand or lreland. Scotland was populated by a wild bunch of gazabos who painted trheir faces when they went into battle, for which reason the Romans called them Picti, or Picts. They evidently were tough.

But Caesar started the civilizing of England in some substantial ways. Right now, in their defense of their

island home against these modern savage tribes, the Germans, the British use parts of two great highways which the Romans built at the very beginning of the Christian Era, the Great North Road from London to Edinburgh, and the Walling Road, from Dover to York. It is significant that the invading Romans left something with which to battle the invading Teutons two thousand years later. It has frequently been remarked by historians that Caesar's Legions, by building these great permanent highways, endowed Britain with one of the primary principles of civilization. Do you suppose that this infamous Caesar of today would leave any enduring monuments to future civilizations were he, like Julius Caesar, to take England? Nay. Not so. Nothing would he leave behind him, had he his will, but smoking ruins, millions of dead and dying, and a prostrate civilization.

Should England fall

to;";;""s

now-as Heaven forbid-it would not, of course, be the first time. The fiercest horde of barbarians that ever swqtt across the channel came from Germany in the fifth and sixth centuries of the Christian Era, and fairly destroyed root and branch the growing civilization they found there. The Celts and Romans they found and destroyed, together with their priests and their temples. There were the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. And they gave to Britain the name of AnglaLand; now England. Like the Germans of today, they replaced semi-civilization with the fiercest barbarism.' The last and final conquest of England, you will recall from your school books, was that of the Normans under William the Conqueror. They did a thorough and complete job of it. And now began the making of what is now Britain; the blending of all those varying blood-streams beginning with the Iberians and the Celts and right through to the Norman French; the mighty melting pot of nationalities and breeds that in thousands of years had combined to make what we today call the English breed. Kipling tells it beautifully, in this fashion:

"The Norman conquest:, ;ra: was the beginning of the history of the English race as one people, and of England as'a great power in Europe.

England's on the anvil-hear the hammers ringClanging from the Severn to the Tyne I Never was a blacksmith like our Norman kingEngland's being hammered, hammered, hammered into line!

England's on the anvil t Heavy are the blows ! (But the work will be a marvel when it's done) Little bits of kingdoms cannot stand against their foes, England's being hammered, hammered, hammered into one'" rt rt rt

And as this is written England's being hammered, hammered, hammered in a way never dreamed of before, especially by Kipting as he penned the above lines. But Hitler the Headsman is a bit late with his announced personal march into London. The other day I read a wonderful letter from a Britisher in London to my splendid British friend Claude King, of Los Angeles. There was no waste of words. The Londoner wrote: '1Our morale was never finer, our coutrage never higher, they can't beat us." And it begins to look as though Benito the Brave, whose mighty battle feet, after one brief look at the British Mediterranean fighting forces, skipped back into mine-protected Italian harbors and has been seen and heard of no more, is not at all pleased with the way the war is going. He thinks Adolf the Axeman has done him dirty. Adolf gave Benito to understand that the war was about over, that he would take England a couple of weeks later, and all Benito enpected to do was pick the pockets of the mortally wounded. Instead of which he finds himself fighting some first class people who just won't stay licked, and he is very unhappy. He realizes that if England should win the Battle of Britain, in about three days they would take poor little Benito with the big chin, and that would be the end of him and his cowardly march of conquest. Benito doesn't like fighting armed gentlemen* t*" nl** unarmed Ethiopians.

Not meaning to joke about a great tragedy, my friend George Purl says London can't be taken, and proves it mathematically. He says that according to official sources, the British lost 2,O00 in dead and wounded the last two weeks of August. There are about 9,000,000 people in Greater London, so at the rate of one thousand a week it would take Hitler about 180 years at his present rate of going, to wipe out London. And George says Hitler would run out of ammunition long before the 180 years was up, and anyway, he's too old to fight that long. If you want any more interesting figures on the subject, write George Purl, Dallas, Texas, and I'll guarantee you'll get an interesting rePll' * * *

Now let's get over to this side of the Atlantic for a short visit. In the last three months Congress has trans-

acted more vital, dramatic, breath-taking, history-making legislation than in any other peace-time period in our whole history. It passed the first peace-time draft law-the most important peace-time measure on tJre record books. Besides, it passed the Hatch Act to clean up Federal politics and prevent in future some of the horrors perpetrated in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and other places in the last few years; authorized the construction of the biggest navy the world ever heard of; passed an alien registration and regulation law; passed a guard mobilization bill; and arranged to spend more money for national defense than any normal man can even understand, so big are billions. And all this since June 4th at which time Mr. Roosevelt tried to make them go home, said there was nothing for them to do, and added (in that nice, cutting way of his), that of course, they could stay and make speeches if they desired, but there was nothing for them to do and no reason for them to stay. Certainly sees far into the future, doesn't he?

t:Ft<

Jesse Jones is now Secretary of Commerce. That Cabinet office has been vacant for some time past in the person of Harry Hopkins. When the papers announced the appointment of "Big Jess" as his Texas friends call him, I said to myself, now we will find out what Mr. Jones thinks about the coming Presidential election. If he thinks Roosevelt will win, he'll take the job. If he thinks Willkie will win, he'll turn it down, for it would be very temporary, whereas he has done so wonderful a service as head of the lending agencies that any President would want to keep him. I might have known, however, that he was too smart to "tip his mit." He said he'd take the cabinet job only if they'd let him hold his lending agency position, too. And so valuable is he that Congress arranged for him to take both places. So I don't know what he thinks about the election chances. He played safe. But if anyone is worrying about his ability to do justice to both his big jobs, they can stop. He knows more about commerce, business, and finance than all the other New Dealers put together, and if he only gives five minutes a week to the Commerce post it will be a great improvement on what we've recently had.

Jesse Jones is a good old lumber boy. He started life working in a lumber yard in Dallas, and later became owner of a big string of yards. He still owns them. He got so prominent as builder and financier that Herbert ffoover reached out and pulled him into RFC when he organized that agency. He has saved the Government countless millions of dollars by his wise and skillful handling of Government loan money. His mind works like a cross between a Corliss engine and a steel trap. He can out-smart and outthink almost anybody in business and financial matters. For a time there were two powerful and able financial and economic personalities in the Roosevelt administration,

Jesse Jones and John Hanes. I{anes was so able that Mr. Roosevelt appointed him to the Treasury Department in the face of Hanes' assurance that he was rabidly critical of the New Deal. But Hanes soon took a walk. Jones stayed and gets bigger and bigger. Insinuate that he thinks in New Deal terms, and his Texas friends die laughing. But Jesse Jones, the lumberman, knows his onions. He is a splendid public servant.

The prize for the best recent political remark goes to some guy in San Francisco, who, when his attention was called to the Willkie buttons all over the streets, remarked: "Yes, he's polling the biggest LAPEL vote in history."

BACK F'ROM EASTERN TRIP

W. R. La Franchi, manager of the Fresno branch of Hill & Morton, Inc., returned recently from a business and pleasure trip to the Eastern and Southern States. He picked up a new Buick at Flint, Mich., and made the return journey by the Southern route, calling at hardwood sawmills in Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana. He was accompanied by his wife.

Forest Rangers Seek Fire Cooperttion From Hunterg

Aware that California deer and bird hunters are their own best monitors in adhering to the sportsman's code of ethics, the United States Forest Service has just issued a cautionary notice in the interests of forest fire prevention.

"We haven't funds to assign as many patrolmen as in previous years to guard against hunters' fires this fall," said Regional Forester S. B. Show. "And if my opinion of sports'men is still correct we won't have to. -

"Despite severe fall fire hazards in the woods the past several years, hunters have proved to us quite conclusively that they can be careful with their campfires, warming fires and smoking materials.

"The woods are mighty dry this fall again so it will be another acid test for nimrods to show that they can prevent outbreaks of man-caused fires on their hunting grounds and the nation's forests."

The Forest Service has established a number of checking stations throughout popular hunting areas where measurements rvill be taken to determine the condition and quality of deer in the national forests. Attendants also will keep tab on the fire situation.

The cooperation of sportsmen in registering their kills has been especially helpful in deer management. Such studies may be used as a basis for analyzins and regulating deer populations.

Lone Pine Lumber & Supply Co. Opens New Store

The new and modern home of the Lone Pine Lumber & Supply Co. at Lone Pine, Calif., which is pictured above, was formally opened on August 31.

The front of the building, with the windo.ws set in zigzag ma:nner to form a gradual curve or bay, is very striking, being entirely of g'lass pane's. The base below the windows is constructed of thin Roman bricks. The attractive doorway is framed with a column of glass blocks . The buildings have been constr,ucted on a large right-triangular lot.

The exterior upper walls of five-ply plywood, above the windows, carry a metal cap moulding the entire length of the building, while the lower walls south of the doorway are of Rustic Ponderosa Pine channel, eight inches wide. The outer walls are painted grey with rvhite trim. The company's name, over the display windows, is constructed of individual wooden letters cut from nine-ply veneer, and painted Spanish green. Final touches on the exterior are the window boxes fbr green ivy plants built into the low brick wall, the thin bricks being of mottled terra cotta color.

On entering the office and display noom, the "Lone Pine" inset in the congoleum floor covering attracts your attention. The walls and ceiling of this room, 24 by 66 feet and tapering to 12 f.eet at the north end are of Celotex. The ceiling is neutral tan, constructed of squares with key-joint units, while the walls are of vertical sections with blendton€ finish with just a suggestion of pale brown.

The window columns will be covered with "Flex-Glass" to give an effect of brilliancy.

Along the west wall of the office are three sections of shelving, the first contains paints, the second has thirty units for floor coverings, and the third is for builders' hardware.

The major portion of the floor space will be devoted to displaying large merchatrdise. The members of the clerical staff rvill be found in the south end of the room, where telephone connection is kept with the outside yard.

The office and display room are well lighted due to the large windows supplemented by flush-type fluorescent ceiling lamps. The windows will be covered with "Finisteel" Venetian blinds.

Opening from the main office is an 8 by B foot private office, decorated with a sand-blasted ceiling center piece.

Fro,m the ofifice, passing thnough large swingi;ng doors, one enters the stockroom, 16 by 6O feet, for hardware. The only other entrance is a large sfiding door that leads out onto a 8 by 4O foot covered cement loading dock, equipped with ceiling lights. The next unit, 16 by 26 feet, houses millwork such as sash, doors, etc. The back and roof of the building have been constructed with "Tyl-lyke" stormproof galvanized metal siding.

A wooden loading platfonm, 5 feet wide and 3 feet high, leads into the millwork room and remaining storage rooms, and under this ramp is storage space for soil pipe and fittings.

A storage room, 16 by 42 feet, houses plaster, roofing papers and tar, and the Celotex storage shed is 17 by 42 feet.

The main building, which has a frontage ol 28 f.eet, rests upon a cement and Redwood foundation.

The lumber storage shed, 32 by 115 feet, is situated at the south end of the yard. It has 64 main bins, subdivided by partitions, and a central cement-floored sawing, planing and ,milling shed, housing band, rip and cross-cut power saws and other milling equipment, and connected with the main office by telephone.

Stored in this shed are milled and finished lumber, moulding, pipe and corrugated iron.

The remainder of the yard, which is electrically lighted, is taken up with storage. In the open section near the loading ramp are found clay products, stucco wire, mine timbers, shingles, lath, Redwood planking, and a SGfoot well, housed in a low shed and ooncrete pit and equipped with a Fairbanks, Morse & Co. automatic pump and emergency pressure-equalizing storage tank.

Surrounding and protecting the property is a Columbia steel rvire fence over 84O feet long, tipped with strands of barbed wire, and entered by four sets of double-drive steel gates. The fence is 7 feet high.

The construction of a cement sidewalk and curbing has

-Courtesg Ouens Valley Progress-Citizer

been delayed, pending the erection of boulevard park lights by the county.

R. R. "Rudie" Henderson is the owner of the Lone Pine Lumber & Supply Co. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Dow established the business in 1919. Back in 1926, Mr. Henderson, then a young newspaperman in the town, and who had also served as justice of the peace, asked the Dows for a "60day trial" as yard manager. He got the job and under his management the business made rapid growth. Early this year Mr. and Mrs. Dow sold the business to him.

Staff of the Lone Pine Lumber & Supply Co.

Mr. Henderson has surrounded himself with a courte'cvus and go-getter organization. T. A. Henderson, brother of "Rudie," takes care of the inside saleswork and clerical duties; Ben E. Smith, oldest employe in point of service, is office accountant and outside salesman; Bob Henderson, son of "Rudie," acts as office boy during the summer vacation; J. W. McKinney is yard foreman; Ben Budke, Jesse Browne, Edwin Hagen, Charles Harned, Maule W. Marsh and Stonewall Jackson Raper are members of the yard staff; and Frank Russell is night watch'man.

A Salute to Cecil Wetzel and Ellis \7ood

We salute Cecil Wetzel and Ellis Wood, California lumbermen, who rescued little Marc de Tristan, 3-year-old son of Count and Countess Marc de Tristan of Hillsborough, Calif., and captured his abductor, Sunday, September 22. The people of the nation rejoiced at the news that the baby had been found and was safe and well.

Mr. Wetzel is the owner of the Omo Lumber Co. at Omo Ranch, Eldorado County, Calif., in the High Sierra. It was near there that Mr. Wetzel and Ellis Wood, another lumberman, came upon the kidnapper. They took the man and the child to River Pines near Aukum and in a short time the country knew that the baby had been rescued and his abductor, Wilhelm Jakob Muhlenbroich, was in the custody of the G-men.

Countess de Tristan, the baby's mother, is the daughter of the late Edwin Christenson, founder of Sudden & Christenson, nationally known lumber and shipping firm.

His letters "brecthed kindness, crpprecicrtion" buth, understcrnding." A mcm who received one oI these letters would !o more pcrrt with it thcrn he would with c portrcit ol his mother. Ecch letter bore cq element oI ioy; cr nesscrge ol wisdom; cr iigger oI wit to give the wisdom flcnror. Every letter wcs short. When he wcs tfuough, the letter ended. No postscripts. He never precrched. His letters never "called you down-they cclled you up,"' up into the sunlight of lriendly intereet. Hie letters were cll short meseages ol geniclity cmd lriendship. He never uttered cr gloomy thought. Only hcppy thoughts ehould be perpetucted on pcper. His letters mcrde you plecrsed with yoursellwith the world. He ccrne right to the poirrU never hid cr gr-in ol kindness under cr bushel oI wordy chaff. A lot ol loose words turn the milk oI human kindness to clabber.

As I recrd of the letter writing ol Eugene Field, described in the fine words curd phrcses of Elbert Hubbcad, I resolved, crs perhcrlx YOU, friendly recrder, will resolve, to do c better iob oI letter writing in the luture-more tersemore humcrn-more lriendly.

Joins Allied Building Credits, Inc.

Frederick M. Babcock, assistant administrator and director of FHA's Underwriting DiVision, has resignecl to join the executive stafi of Allied Building Credits, Inc., Weyerhaetrser affi liate, according to announcements made concurrently by Stervart McDonald, FHA Administrator, &rd F. K. Weyerhaeuser, president of the Finance Company. Mr. Babcock will assume his new duties at once and will main-

--Cotyrisht by Hanis & Euirs tain headquarters at Saint Fredericl!/LBcbcocl paul where the genera1 offices of the company are located.

For the past six years Mr. Babcock has been director of the Underwriting Division of FHA during which time he established FHA's risk rating system for sele'cting mortgage investments, a procedure which has become a nationally recognized institution in mortgage lending practices.

Under his direction the FHA's lJnderwriting Division has approved insurance on small home mortgages numbering 7C0,000 a.nd valued at almost $3,000,000,000. Net charges against reserves amount to less than 2/I00ths ol l/o of mortgages insured, according to statements released by FHA in announcing Mr.. Babcock's resignation. The principles established under his direction have enabled home buyers and lenders to obtain a measure of protection never before available.

Before coming to the FHA, Mr. Babcock was appraisal adviser to the Prudential Lnsurance Company of Newark and previously was a partner in the firm of William H. Babcock and Sons, Ch'icago, real estate valuators and consultants. He is the author of "The Valuation of Real Estate" (McGraw-Hill Company 1933), "The Appraisal of Real Estate" (MacMillan 1924) as well as numerous

treatises, research studies and. magazine articles on real estatd, mortgage and appraisal subjects.

While Allied Building Credits, Inc., is a comparatively nerv company, it has enjoyed substantial growth in the financing field. It operates exclusively through retail lumber dealers and provides a wide variety of installment financring services, including all types of FHA loans as well as supplemental services developed to meet special needs of lumber dealers.

The development and rapid growth of Allied tsuilding Credits, fnc., has been widely regarded in the lumber industry as one of major importance since it is entirely sympathetic to the problems of the lumber dealer. It came into the field when FHA was havi:ng considerable difficulty obtaining the active cooperation of local lending agencies and provided dealers with needed facilities to enable them to make maxirnum use of the pr,ovisions of FHA. When Title l expired on March 31,1937, Allied Building Credits, Inc., immediately made available a comparable service to take its place until Title I was reinstated by Congress. Since that time it has added supplemental services tb include deals not eligible under FHA and only recently announced a Class 3 (Title 1) Plan covering small house loans up to $2,500.00 for terms as long as 15 years. According to officials, ,it will be the policy of the Company to continue to study all finanoing needs of lumber dealers and home owners and provide services of the widest possible coverage.

"\Me consider ourselves fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr. Babcock as an operating executive," said Mr. Weyerhaeuser. "He is recognized as €r1r outstanding authority in the mortgage field and his wide olperience will be particularly valuable at a time when we are giving special attention to the formulation of plans and policies designed to meet the present and future financing requirements of lumber dealers."

In addition to the general ofifices of the Company which are trocated in Saint Paul, Allied Building Ctedits, Inc., nol operates branch offices at Newark, Boston, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Fittsburgh, Chicago, Kansas City, Tampa, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City, Tacoma, Minneapolis and Salt Lake Citv.

Use of KD Fir Frames Increasing in Southern California

After a year's experience in selling the Long-Bell line of Douglas Fir KD exterior window and door frames and interior jambs, H. Coor-Pender of MacDougall Door & Plywood Co., Los Angeles, wholesale distributors for these products in Southern California, reports that there is a definite trend towards the use of this type of frames.

"The use of knocked-down frames instead of the old way of cutting up lumber on the job is a progressive step, and many contractors in the past year have proved receptive to the new idea," Mr. Coor-Pender says.

"The old bugaboo that stock frames could not be used in Southern California on account of the many different types of construction has been dispelled, for the fact is that the frames we carry are applicable to 90 per cent of the residence construction.

"The KD Douglas Fir frame is a profitable item for the dealer and not a hard one to sell because of the high quality of material and machining. Dealers say that it hasn't been difficult to convince the contractor that this new l\ray is better than the old way as it offers their customer a higher degree of service.

"In the past year these frames have become quite widely used, being sold by a great many dealers.

"The service we render includes both knocked-down and built-up frames. The built-up frames are complete with flashing paper and sill pans, and with pulley stile cut for flat balances where required."

MacDougall Door & Plywood Co. carry complete stocks of these durable vertical grain Douglas Fir KD frames and empty windows. They are also jobbers of Peterman doors and plywood and carry large stocks of these items to serve dealers. Their warehouse is at 2035 East 51st Street, Los Angeles. Telephone Klmball 3151.

Ralph W. Martin, for the past four years general manager of the Spalding Lumber Company, Salem, Oregon, manufacturers, has joined the Trade Extension Department of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association as Field Engineer with headquarters in Washington, D. C., the Association has announced. Mr. Martin's work will be on the national defense program.

Lumber, more than any other industry, is facing pressing immediate demands for rmaterials of defense. In all sections of the country the mobilization of the National Guard and the forc,es called up in the selective draft will first of all require housing. All other defense construction presents a primary need for lumber, in one form or another. Where l,urmber may be used as an engineering material in defen,se projects there is a wide range of specific requirements for structural Dougl'as fir.

Government officials and engineers in Washington who are responsible for the procurement of defense building materials need all the technical information and aid that the industry can supply. Ralph Martin's work in Washington will be principally devoted to such assistance in relation to West Coast lurmber.

Before his years as general rnanager of the Spalding Lumber Company Mr. Martin was with the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company for 35 years, serving as superintendent of their Wendling, Oregon operation and as executive assistant. For 15 years he was a rnember of the WCLA Grading Rules Committee.

Launch Big Sales Promotion Campaign on Craw-Fir-Dor

The launching of a $50,000 advertising and promotional campaign on the Craw-Fir-Dor was announced September lst by W. E. Difford, managing director of the Fir Door Institute, joint sponsors of the program with the Crawford Door Company of Detroit, Michigan.

"The rapid acceptance of the Craw-Fir-Dor by builders in every state in the Union has made possible the greatly expanded promotional work," Mr. Difford declared, "and I feel sure that lumber dealers and distributors will immediately recognize this new merchandising plan as one of the finest ever worked out for the sale of any overhead garage door."

Magazine and trade paper advertising will form the keystone of the enlarged program, according to Mr. Difford. A wide list of trade papers and dealer magazines will carry news of Craw-Fir-Dor developments to specifiers, while each month advertisements will also be placed before the 2,000,000 readers of American Home or Better Homes and Gardens.

Mr. Difford pointed out that a well-rounded sales prornotional plan had been worked out to correlate with the media advertising. This would include, he said, the issuance of complete sales kits to distribtrtors' salesmen, direct sales efforts of trained overhead door sales engineers and the making available of many new dealer helps, including counter displays, window streamers, advertising mats, mailing pieces and similar sales aids.

Discussing Craw-Fir-Dor potentials, Mr. Difford analyzed estimated total garage doors sold in 1939 as approximately 235,000, of which 7 per cent were Craw-Fir-Dor sales. Since this result was obtained in the first year of Craw-Fir-Dor operations, and since sales so far in l94O are currently running 30 per cent higher. Mr. Difford declared that potentials for the next 12 months have been raised to at least 50,000 units.

"The present upswing in building materially increases the total garage door market for lumber dealers," Mr. Difford said in justifying his sales estimate, "and since the

Craw-Fir-Dor has made it possible for a dealer to participate in the rapidly growing demand for overhead-type garage doors, it is now logical to assume that the important volume of dealer-controlled business will go to the CrawFir-Dor. To this should be added the huge possibilities in the replacement rrtarket where easy-to-operate overhead doors will supplant old swinging doors and it's even possible that with aggressive dealer support, more than 100,000 Craw-Fir-Dor units may be installed before September, 1941."

Typical of the volume possibilities in the sale of CrawFir-Dors for large-scale housing projects, according to Mr. Difford, is the recent installation of 84 units in a double row in a single alley (see cut) at the Country Club Gardens Apartment in Denver, one of the largest single installations on record.

Coincidental with the announcement of the new program,

8r crcw-Fir-D.'i"H::,1, il g:l?g crub Gcrdene

Mr. Difford reported that the Crawford Door Company of Detroit, Michigan, holders of the patents on the Craw-FirDor and manufacturers of the hardware unit, had approved a new design which is to be known as Design 41.

"Design 41 is offered to meet the demand for a flush door without complicating distributors' stocks with just another design model," Mr. Difford declared. "This new door is a dual purpose door since it is reversible. The face of the door is flush type, while the back is the original 8-panel Craw-Fir-Dor layout known as Design 38. In this way, a dealer or distributor can satisfy customers' demands for two designs by stocking only one door."

"A special feature of this new door is that a bundle of moulding will be included without charge," Mr. Difford said, "and this gives the builder or home owner the opportunity to personalize the appearance of his garage door by applying the moulding in any one of many design possibilities."

Tom Branson Heads East Bay Club

Tom T. Branson of Melrose Lumber & Supply Co., Oakland, was elected president of East Bay Hoo-Ho,o Club No. 39 at the meeting of this organization held at Hotel Learmington, Oakland, September 16, L94o.

Lewis A. Godard of Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco, was elected vice-president and Carl R. Moore was reelected secretary-treasurer. D. Normen Cords, WendlingNathan Co., San Francisco, was appointed sergeant-at-arms.

The new directors are: 'Wrm. Chatham, Jr., Loop Lumber & Mill Co., Alameda; Victor J. Herrman, Tilden Lumber Co., Berkeley; George' Clayberg, Boorman Lumber Co., Oakland; If. "Abe" Lincoln, Lincoln Lurnber, Inc., Oakland, and Ed La Franchi, Hill & Morton, Inc., Oakland.

Kenneth Smith, executive vice-president of the California Redwood Association, was the speaker of the evening.

Jas. B. Overcast, retiring president, was presented by the Club with a very fine overcoat.

Carl R. Moore got a big hand when it was announced that he was starting his 14th ye'ar as secretary-treasurer.

Mr. Tate Defends the Industry

I. N. Tate, 18463, St. Paul, Minn., asked to speak for the 'West Coast Lumbermens Association, stated that he was not authorized to do so, but that he would venture a few general remarks, having nothing to do with any association.

"The lumber industry," he said, "is in an emergency, just as.everyone else is. Ours has some added complications. 'We are being criticized because there has been a small advance in prices. Perhaps 7O per ceht of the mills could make a little money on the scale before the rise set in. To get maximum production, however, the 3O per cent of marginal mills had to have a little better price, and if the demand for defense rvork is going to be as great as indicated, we must have the output of these marginal mills. We have tried to stop a runaway market, and I think we have it under control."

Mr. Tate lauded a number of progressive moves under way by various associations in the industry, and concluded with the remarks that "The rvay to run a Hoo-Hoo cl,ub is first to have three or four devoted souls who will keep the ball rolling. Then have some real objectives besides fun and entertainment, objectives such as improved salesmanship, Tested Selling Methods courses, the local real estate tax problem. This last is important enough a,nd vital enough for any Hoo-Hoo club to rally around."

A message from L. J. Woodson, 2&94, Arcanoper, San Francisco, rep,orted some very fine concatenations during the past year. A telegram from W. W. Woodridge, Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, Seattle, was read.

Thi.s concluded the business of the afternoon session which was followed by a concatenation in which nine kittens were initiated. The ritual was followed by a banquet and show.

Program for Year's Activities

At the Tuesday session E. L. Wales, chairman of a committe for suggestions for the good of the Order, proposed the following prog'ram for the year:

(8) Activities sponsorship; (9) Related industries cooperation.

2. Have the secretary call on as many local clubs as time and circumstances will permit.

3. Give an award to the group that shows the greatest improvements during the year, the award to be based on:

(a) Percentage increase in membership.

(b) General contributions for the good of the Order.

(c) Participation in local activities and community projects.

4. Continue the distribution of the Hoo-H'ooter, now issued in conjunction with the Twiir Cities Hoo-Hoo Club, to contain news of thd International Order, and issue an International Bulletin when it becomes possible to do so. The report was adopted.

Just prior to adjournment, Martin J. McDonald, sole Canadian representative at the meeting, presented the Order with a Canadian flag. In accepting, Mr. Dulany assured him of the wanm friendship of all Americans for their Canadian neighbors, and that the flag would be displayed with our colors in all national conventio,ns.

A luncheon meeting concluded the program. Here, I. N. Tate, Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, was the principal speaker, his subject being, "What of the Future?" In closing his address Mr. Tate said:

"I do ,not know a more inspiring story than the present story of lumber; or any story that so ne'eds to be told. Nor do I know any organization so well equipped to tell it, or more selfishly interested in telling it, if you wish to approach it from the selfish angle.

"Inevitably, f come back to the fact that the crying need of our industry is salesmanship. Better selli,ng of our product; better selling of the lumber story to a nation that should know that story for its own good. We are the salesmen who must do this tremendous selling job.

"What of the Future ? Is the Lumber industry worth saving? The only question is whetheh we have the "intelligent courage" to save it."
