Srimulate rural building wifh these plan booklets

They show how National Homes Foundati,on's I village and farm house plans can be adapted to Dri-Bilt with Plywood constructi,on !

o The benefits of easier home financing are now being enjoyed in rural areas all over the United States. Is yoars one of tben? It should be-and. can be-if. you roll up your sleeves and set out to encourage building.

Show prospects the key booklets which illustrate how the National Homes Foundation's village and house plans can be adapted to construction with Douglas Fir Plywood. Explain how both the plans and Dri-Bilt with Plywood construction have been accepted by F.H.A. Tell them how much more quickly a Plywood house goes up than if built traditionally. Tell them how much more durable and rigid a Plywood house is . . why the walls will be crack and puncnrre-proof. \When prospects decide to build, you can order complete working drawings and guaranteed material list from the National Plan Service, Chicago.

To sell all the Douglas Fir Plywood required in a Dri-Bilt home, your stock must contain all 5 grades in representative sizes and thicknesses. So check yorr inventory now and be sure it's complete, ready to serve every demand.

A London magazine that asked its readers for their definitions of home, got the following reply:

HOME-A world of strife shut out; a world of love shut in.

A place where the small are great, and the great are small.

The father's kingdom, the mother's world, and the children's paradise.

The place where we grumble the most and are treated the best.

The center of our affection, around which our heart's best wishes twine.

The place where our stomachs get three square meals a day, and our hearts a thousand. ***

George Edinger, noted British journalist, in describing the difference between a dictatorship and democracy, mentions this one: "Dictatorship maintains production must be regulated as much as possible for the common good. Democracy says it should be regulated as little as possible so as not to destroy initiative and enterprise."

A good man regards wealth as an instrumentality, as an opportunity, and endeavors to benefit his fellows, not by making them recipients of his charity, but by helping them to help themselves.

Saw a cartoon the other day that stopped me cold. It showed two women in one of those self-serving grocery stores. Each was pushing one of those carts they furnish in those places, and both carts were heaped high with eatables. One of the women said to the other: .,The trouble about this place is that f always oversell myself.', Get the idea? For decades we've been preaching the art and value of personal salesmanship in this country, in every line of business. But doesn't the thought behind this cartoon knock personal salesmanship-at least in some lines -clear out the window? {<**

The woman spoke the trufh. The glibbest, cleverest salesman or saleslady that ever stood back of a grocery store counter could never sell the average shopper the quantity of stuff that he or she will buv when turned loose among the well-laden shelves and left to their own devices. Never ! And the same is true in these new and

attractive cafeterias where folks go to eat meals. The average person puts more food on that tray than any waiter on earth could possibly sell him. Nine out of ten cafeteria eaters oversell themselves as they shove that tray along in front of that array of tempting viands. Isn't that true?

We used to think that the cafeteria style of helping yourself to the food was for the purpose of saving in the cost of service. But the fact is that the method actually sells a lot more food than the highest priced waiters could possibly sell to those same people. Just what this indisputable fact does to the time-honored theory that there is no replacement or substitute for intelligent personal salesmanship, furnishes a swell subject for debate, \Me recommend it to salesmanship clubs as a toothy morsel that might well develop some magnificent opportunities for selling debates. It does appear definitely that these self-selling stores and restaurants furnish a terrific indictment against personal selling.

Wonder if that theory would apply with equal truth and value to the sale of building materials? Do you, Mr. Lumber Dealer, suppose your trade would buy larger quantities of your goods if you exposed them, marked them, arranged them attractively, and then invited the public to come and help themselves? Probably not, for the large and adequate reason that your building materials cannot fully and properly tell the story of their particular values and services in such unfinished stage and condition, while ready-to-eat food speaks with an eloquence and persuasiveness that Demosthenes in his palmiest days.could not have hoped to equal. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the fact that in some lines of distribution people will actually buy more goods when left absolutely without any selling service or suggestions of a personal character, makes the strong believer in the personal selling equation scratch his head and start talking to himself.

Shakespeare incompar"lr"**l"rks that-..There is a tide in tbe affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune, etc.-" and goes on to prove that much human success consists of the ability to seize opportunity when it presents itself, and not wait too long and take a chance on missing the boat. "Opportunity knocks but once," is

another famous adage on that same subject. My friend of a lifetime, Harry T. Kendall of Weyerhaeuser, put it in just as practical and much more usable terms the other day in the midst of a conservation on the subject of grasping opportunity. fle said-"The time to take pie is when the pie is on the table." Another friend used to tell about the little boy at the party, who took two doughnuts the first time the doughnut plate was passed. Someone said to him"It's bad manners to take two doughnuts at once." And the boy answered: "I figure that the time to take doughnuts is when they're passing the doughnuts."

How often you hear ":-: .;"*ing person say-"This is the day of the young man," and seems to think that that fact marks a change in human affairs. Not at all. This world has always belonged to the young. Shakespeare wrote his immortal "Hamlet" at the age of 33; Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence at 32; at the age of 31, Webster was holding his own with those titans of thought and spoken word, Clay and Calhoun; at 30 years of age Lord Clive had conquered India; at 36 Lord Byron had won fame and fortune and was already dead; at 33 Alexander had conquered the world, and sighed for more worlds to conquer I at 33 Jesus had accomplished His mission, and had been crucified. Yes, this IS the young man's world.

And it always was. And it always will be. Just think' we have decided in this country in the past few months that a man past 28 is too old to be a first class soldier. What does that make us old fellows, do you suppose?

The average person owns a dog or cat, goes into a restauant, eats a steak dinner, and wishes there was some way to get that steak bone and other remnants home to his pet. You sometimes see most respectable people actually smuggling such remnants out of the cafe in purse or pocket. Harry's Cafe, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, (one of the very best eating places in that city of appreciative eaters) has solved that problem, thus catering to the pet-owning class of customers, and making many a good friend by so doing. Harry makes a specialty of furnishing his customers who express a desire for them, their steak remnants neatly, protectively, and even attractively packed in a stout paper sack which he has especially provided for that particular purpose. The waiter brings the customer the meat remnants in this neatly wrapped package, on the side of which is printed in big type-"A PRESENT FOR YOUR DOG." Ilarry's customers are well acquainted with this friendly service, and after every meal you will see fashionably dressed people walking proudly out of Harry's Cafe with such packages openly displayed. And has it made friends for that eating place !

Priorities For Delense Housing Construction

Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 1941-Details of a broad plan to grant priority assistance for the construction of 200,000 _privately financed defense housing units were announced today by Donald M. Nelson, Director of priorities, following app-roval of the plan in principle by the Council of the Office of Production Management.The order implem"qtlrg the plan becomes effective Monday, September 22, I94I.

The new procedures, worked out by OPM officials in collaboration with Charles F. Patmer, Defense Housing Coordinator, will assure priority aid for Z0O,O0O privatel! financed homes for defense workers. Other arrarigements have^ a^lready- leel made for granting priority assist-ance to 100,000 publicly financed units.

To expedite the building of essential defense housing, project preference_ ratings-will be granted. The higheii rating-of those to be available for ho=using rvill be asslgned to defeqse projects lvhich were already under const-ruction on September l, 1941, and for remodeling and rehabilit_at!on, which create living accommodationJ or additional defense workers. Lower latings will be granted to new construction for rent, and a still lower rating for new construction for sale. All defense housing ratings, ho'rvever, will be in the defense, or "A" class. Certificales of rating will be extended in the field for privately-financed projecti by the field offices of the Priorities Division, uporr the recommendation of the Defense Housing Coordin-ator.

By the use of project ratings, the Division of priorities can assign_ on-e,-rating wllich can be used to secure delivery of scarce building mlterials, which appear on the Defense Housing. Critical List, and which wiil go into any one defense housing project.

This procedure eliminates the need for many different individual applications for different materials.

A list of defense areas has been develooed in which there is an acute shortage of housing for defense workers. Defense housing within-these areasl both public and pri- va!e,, mary be granted priority assistance.

The Defense Housing Critical List includes a number ot materials, products, and items essential to housing con- struction. The project ratings rvill apply only to-items which app€qr on the list, and in such-quantiiies as the Director of Priorities authorizes. The purpose is to stimulate -and e.xpldile the production of the greatest possible number of dwelling units, which the ec6nomical- use of av.ailable limited quantities of critical materials will per- mrt.

To obtain .a preference ratirlg for defense housing pro- jects, the private builder shouid file an application" with the local office of the Federal Housing Administration. The Director of Priorities is making thiJ use of the facilities of the FHA as a ready means of immediate assistance. This special service of the FHA is completelv divorced from and has no connection with its underwriiing activities as a mortgage_ insurance agency. Copies of tie appli- catron form may be obtained from these offices, or frbm local home financing institutions.

To qualify for ihe priority assistance extended under the new plan, construction must be confined to familv units of a value not in excess of $6,000, if for sale, or for'which the monthly shelter rental does not exceed $50. These figure-s represent top prices for housing to receive assistan& under the plan. Construction in lorver brackets to meet the economic situations of workers in different cateEories will be encouraged, and it is expected that in most-tases the costs involved will be substantially lower. Exceotion to the limits set will be permitted only in special cirtum-

stances, and then onll' on the basis of individual consideratlon.

No ?pplication for aid rvill be considered by the priori- ties officials until it has been demonstrated that the homes involved a.re designed for and are readily available to defense workers, at prices rvithin their reach, at locations convenient to their employment, and conform to minimum standards as developed by the Defense Housing Coordinator. It must also be demonstrated that such housing is being, orvrill be, built in such a lvay as to use minimum quantities of scarce materials.

Before any specific privately-financed project can be given a rating, it must qualify as defense housing and be approved by the office of the Defense Housing Coordinator.

When this has been done, and the Defense Housing Coordinator has recomrnended a project, a rating may be assigned in the field by the Priorities Division to the-par- ticular job involved on- a project rating form.

. This rating rvill be given to the bui-lder of private housing, The builder can extend the rating by executing (sign- gg) a copy of the order and serving it on his suppti&s. The suppliers in turn can extencl the rating to theii own suppliers in the same way.

The decision to give preferential status to defense housing-thus putting homes for u'orkers ahead of other homes announced originally some rveeks ago. The plans an-nounced today constitrrte steps to put the prograrrr into eftect.

With the impact of the defense program upon the national e,conomy, housing operations in everv field have been affected by the shortagei in the producls manufactured from critiial metals, rl)ithout rvhici livable housing lannot be produced.

Qoppel, for, example-11sg6l for u'iring, roofing, gutters and in plumbing supplies-has become increasinlgll' tight. 2!1n6-u5gd for galvanizing-is also short. Steel and iron p-roducts also have been subject to delayed deliveries. and the materials used in hardrvire are likwise scarce. These difficulties, of course, have been due to the greater need of armament for national defense.

Yet plants manufacturing tanks, guns, shells, and other essentials of national defense, cannot be operated, and ships cannot be built rn'ithout t-orkers, and workers must have places to live. The production of housing has been in competition with the production of other defEnse essentials, and 'r,as delayed because the scarce materials neecled for both were diverted by priorities from housing into other uses.

Berause of this, a clecision hacl to be made to regulate the flow of critical materials to insure the necessari suoply for housing.

The construction of neu' clefense plants and the development of new industrial areas have shifted the centers of employm.ent; decreased the demand for housing in some areas, and increased it ranidlv in others_

This makes it necessary to provide neu,. adeouate and convenient housing for rtorkers-clo:e to the job-even it' this means additional difficulties for the construction of other residential housir.rg not essential to the success of the national defense program.

Because the rehabilitation and alteration of existing dwellings rvill provide additional livine accornmodationi most quickly and economicalll', a high friority rating rvill be given to this class of work.

Application forms rvill be available throughout the coun(Continued on page 15)

Maneuver Stories

The war maneuvers, in which great armies simulate and practice warfare without actually shooting one another, has naturally produced a food of humor. The story has been much told and printed about the lady motorist who was forbidden by soldiers to cross a bridge because it had been destroyed, and who appealed to a nearby officer for assistance, only to have him reply that he could do nothing about ithe had been dead three days. And here is another that is going the rounds, and getting many laughs:

MANAGES NEW YORK OFFICE

R. C. (Bob) Dixon left San Francisco September 15 for Nerv York, where he rvill be district manag'er for IJnion I-uml>er Company.

BAXCO

A soldier of one army came upon one from the other army in the woods, and got the drop on him very promptly. Aiming his rifle at his "enemy" he shouted-"Bang !" -"flang! Bang!"-"flasg! Bang! Bang!" The other soldier stood there. Whereupon the exasperated first soldier said: "'What's the matter with you, soldier? Don't you know the rules? I've shot you with a pistol, a rifle, and a machine gun! Why don't you fall? You're supposed to be dead?" And the other answered: "Chug ! Chug ! I'm a tank."

FHA Accepts Priorities Applications for Privately-Owned Delense Housing

Los Angeles, Sept. 22, Ig4l--:lhe Federal Housing Administration offrces in Los Angeles and San Diego, today began to accept and process applications for preference ratings for privately-orvned defense housing construction under the regulations and requirements established by the Director of Priorities, Office of Production Management, it was announced by Wilson G. Bingham, Southern California District Director, FHA.

Special staffs have been trained in this new procedure and it is in actual operation now.

"It must be clearly understood," said NIr. Bingham, "that FHA's part in the defense housing priorities' picture is merely one of assistance to the Office of Production Management, and not in any sense to render decisions. The FHA has no jurisdiction in the matter of issuance of preference ratings. The FHA is a receiving point for the priorities applications and renders an opinion only as to the eligibility of the application in accordance with the regulations of the OPM, and forwards this information concerning eligibility to the Defense Housing Coordinator in care of the local OPI\'I Priorities office.

"The decision as to the granting of the priorities eventually is given by the OPM directly to the applicant.

"Further," Mr. Bingham stated, "this priorities procedure is handled by the FHA entirely separate from its other activities and without regard to the method of financing the construction under way or proposed for which the priorities are requested. In other words, the requirements and rules and regulations established by the FHA have no connection with this priorities procedure nor financing methods.

"Mr. Bingham has held meetings today with representatives of the financial institutions and. organizations representing the construction and realty business. All of these organizations have agreed to cooperate in disseminating information and application forms. Very few forms are available today, but it is believed that within a very short time the banks, building and loan associations, federal savings and loan associations, mortgage and insurance companies will be provided rvith the necessary information and forms for applicants.

"The procedure is simple," Mr. Bingham stated, "but it is required that completed applications on approved forms must be submitted before they can be considered."

The communities listed as areas under which preference ratings can be accepted as determined by the OPM are as follows in Southern California: Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Oceanside-Fallbrook, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, San Miguel-Paso Robles, and within the reasonable and normal commuting distance to these areas.

All apptications in the foregoing' areas must be submitted to the Los Angeles office of the FHA, Post Office and Court House Building, except for the San Diego and Oceanside-Fallbrook areas, in which case applications should be submitted to the San Diego office of the FHA, Customs House Building, San Diego.

Credits and Collections

THE ONE HE KNEW WOULD COME

The Sunday school teacher wanted to know how many of the little boys in his class could bring another little boy with him to Sunday school the following Sunday. Johnnie promptly held up his hand. "I can," he said. "That's splendid, Johnnie," said the teacher. "And who is the boy you can bring?"

"I'll bring the only boy in my block that I know I can lick," said Johnnie.

A DE LUXE STENO

"The stenographer we require must be fast, absolutely accurate, and highly intelligent. If you are not a crackerjack, don't answer this ad." So ran the ad in "Help Wanted." And this was the reply they got.

"Your ad appeals to me more strongly than prepared mustard, as f have searched Europe, Asia, and Africa, as wel,l as America, for someone who needed my sort of talent. When it comes to this chinmusic proposition I have never found man, woman, or dictaphone that could get to first base against me, either fancy or catch-as-catch-can. I write shorthand so fast that I have to use a specially prepared pencil with a platinum point and a water-cooling attachment, a note pad made of asbestos, ruled with sulphuric acid, and stitched with catgut. I run with my cut-out open at all speeds, and am in fact a guaranteed, double hydraulic, welded, drop-forged and oil-tempered specimen of human lightning on a perfect thirty-six frame, ground to one-thousandth of an inch. If you would avail yourself of the opportunity of a lifetime, wire me. But unless you are fully prepared to pay the tariff for such service, don't bother me, as f am so high-strung I can hardly stand still long enough to have my dresses fitted."

Report has it that she got the job.

Lumber Industry Story Told on National Radio Hook-Up

The lumber industry told its story to the world in a realistic atmosphere of crashing timber and singing saws on September l3th when the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Co., Snoqualmie, \Mash., provided the background for the lumber episode in the "Defense for America" series sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers.

Chosen because the Weyerhaeuser policy reflects the modern thought in lumber production and forestry management, this mill of the Weyerhaeuser group provided an unusual touch because it started production for the first time in 1917, when the nation was engrossed in defense during another generation.

Actively participating in the broadcast were E. H. O'Neil, manager of the Snoqualmie mill, John Wahl, logging superintendent, and W. H. Price, Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., Tacoma.

In interviewing these three experienced lumbermen, Graham McNamee, noted NBC an.nouncer, brought out the great story of how the lumber industry has met the heavy challenge of furnishing defense lumber while it continued to serve domestic needs in enviable fbshion. The story was told to millions of listeners tuned in to the 90 major stations joined in the national hook-up. The broadcast rMas also transcribed for transmission to Europe and other foreign areas via short wave.

Heavy Delense Lumber Shipments Scheduled

Approximately 33,000,000 board feet of lumber for defense purposes will be moved from the Pacific Coast during October. The shipments are all. for Army and Navy construction projects. Of the total, 26,ffi,000 feet is destined for delivery to the Atlantic seaboard and the remainder is for the Panama Canal.

Bfanket Priority Jor Lumber Plant Repairs lssued

Washington, I).C., Sept. 10-"The long awaited blanket priority order for necessary repair and maintenance items for the lumber and timber products industries has finally been issued, it is announced by B. R. Ellis, director of priorities, Lumber and Timber Products Defense Committee. It will be observed that the order is much more restricted than was anticipated in two respects: First, in that it applies only to orders for materials needed for immediate or imminent repairs; Second, that the definition of the Lumber and Timber Products Industry is much more restricted than the definition recommended by the Committee.

In spite of its deficiencies, however, this order may be expected to relieve many critical situations. The A-10 rating provided may not be sufficiently high in all cases to get the needed quick delivery but it will furnish a basis for an appeal for a higher rating rvhere needed.

Branches of the Lumber and Timber Products Industry not included in the definition which can make a showing of need in connection with defense or urgent civilian business may want to request that the Priorities Division of the S.P.A.B. extend this order to cover their branch.

Washingon, D. C., Sept. 9-A nerv and streamlined plan to grant priority assistance for repair rvork in certain essen-

tial industries was announced today by Donald M. Nelson, Director of Priorities. It represents an effort to keep American defense industries running at full speed, and to prevent any break in the increasing tempo of defense production.

The new plan takes the place of the Maintenance and Repair Order which was announced August 8, but which rvas never actually issued because of administrative difficulties in handling the paper work it would have involved.

The new plan, which becomes available immediately, is set up along simple lines. It provides machinery under which priority status for repair work in twenty industrial classifications can be obtained, so that firms and agencies in these classifications may obtain repair parts promptly.

The revised scheme permits qualified producers or suppliers to apply a preference rating of A-10 to deliveries of required repair parts by endorsing a special statement on purchase orders, certifying that the material being ordered is for repair work under the terms of the order, P-22.

The order can be used also to get deliveries for "emergency inventory."

Repairs are defined in the order as repairs needed because of an actual or imminent breakdown. Emergency inventory is defined in the order as the minimum inventory of material recluired to provide for repairs to meet an actual or imminent breakdown.

The present order is designed primarily to protect industry against sudden breakdown and is regarded as an interim measure. The entire inventorv problem is to be studied further with a view to providing broader priority assistance. It is felt, however, that the present plan will keep the essential industries covered running on their normal basis and will prevent serious interruption to defense production by giving producers a simple method for obtaining vital repair parts.

The order, itself, should be read carefully by all those who are to operate under its terms. The industries covered are listed specifically in the order. Other classifications may be added from time to time, and special orders may be worked out to meet problems in certain industries.

Delense Housing Program Will Go Forward \Tithout Interruption

San Francisco, Sept. 24, 1941:Ihe Northern California defense housing program rvill go forward without interruption, with a favorable policy on priorities, according to announcement by D. C. McGinness, district director of the Federal Housing Administration.

Assurance has been received from Donald M. Nelson, defense priorities director, that ample building materials, appliances and equipment will be made available to local builders to carry out all present and necessary residential construction programs in designated defense production areas.

To expedite the production of needed housing, preference ratings will be graduated, the highest rating will be granted to projects under construction as of September 1, 1941, and, to remodeling and rehabilitation. A lower rating will be granted to new construction for rent, and a still lower rating to new construction for sale.

Northern California areas in u'hich the priorities ruling immediately is applicable, it was announced, include Fresno, Monterey, San Francisco and East Bay cities, Stockton and Vallejo.

To obtain preference rating for defense housing projects, the builder is required to file applications, in quintuplicate, with the San Francisco office of the Federal Housing Administration. After the application is processed by the Federal Housing Administration it, will be referred to the Defense Housing Coordinator and the Priorities Division of OPM for decision

Mr. McGinness stated that approximately $3,000,000 of privately financed defense housing projects already are under way under FHA commitments in designated areas within this district, and he expected the new ruling on priorities to considerably stimulate building activity.

Oak Timbers Cut 80 Years Ago tVill Wood Replaces Steel in Pitcher be Utilited by Navy Disappearing Door Frame

Washihgton, Sept. l&-Timbers cut from American forests for use in the construction of naval vessels for the Union Army 8O years ag'o, are finally finding their place on board American ships, despite the fact that the intervening eight decades were spent in the mud at the bottom of the waters surrounding the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Dredging operations incident to the expansion of the Brooklyn Navy Yard have already been responsible for the reclamation of a huge pile of oak timbers which now occupies a space 1@'x40'at the Brooklyn Yard.

The Pitcher Disappearing Wood Frame, replacing the steel frame that has been on the market for many years, is now in production and is sold through retail lumber dealers and mills.

The new frarne, made in the E. C. Pitcher Company's own factory, has the same adjustable, ball bearing hangers rvhich have always been furnished with the steel frames that have been specified by architects up and down the Pacific Coast.

The wood frame costs approximately 25 per cent less than steel, and tests by engineers show that it has ample strength.

The office of E. C. Pitcher Co. is at 557 Market Street, San Francisco.

REDWOOD SHIPPED FOR DEFENSE WORK IN CANAL ZONE AND PUERTO RICO

Shipment was recently completed by Hammond Lumber Company of approximately 500,000 {eet of Redwood for use in construction of the new Army Air Base, Boronquin Field, Puerto Rico.

This company also completed shipment of about 800,000 feet of Redwood to Panama for construction of barracks a,nd defense housing in the Canal Zone.

HANS WALL BUYS RETAIL YARD

rhese rimbera trere orisincuy ;l;"i""lTtr""iffi:""

These timbers were originally purchased in 1860, and placed in water storage at the Brooklyn Yard. They were unused at the end of the Civil War and never removed from the storage lagoon. Subsequently this area was sold to the City of New York and the lagoon filled in.

Naval expansion in connection with America's present defense program caused the land to be re-acquired for the Brooklyn Navy Yard and operations for its utilization uncovered the old timbers. They were found to be sound and sturdy, many of the sticks being 24x24 inches in cross section. Included rvere numerous knees intended as suDports for the deck angles in frigates.

Hans Wall has bought the retail yard of General Lumber & Supply Co. at 806 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles (telephone MUtual 4022), and is handling his Veneer business at this address. He is reorganizing the General Lumber & Supply Co. and Thomas Archibald is managing the retail lumber and building materials end of the business.

The accompanying picture is a practical illustration that r'vide boards can be properly seasoned without checking or other drying defects, and can also be seasoned unif'ormly to eliminate stresses, so the board will remain flat and not warp.

This board-48 inches wide, 16 feet long and 2 incl-res thick-came from a California Sugar Pine tree of the West Side Lumber Company, Tuolumne, California.

It is clear, without any defects. It lies flat and is not fastened to the table legs, and remains flat. This board was seasoned green from the saw to 10 per cent moisture content in antomatically-controlled Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns.

This table is owned by Charles J. Williams, president of Moore Dry Kiln Company. The dining room not being large enough to accommodate a 16-foot table, it was necessary to cut 5 feet from this table to make one short table 5 feet long and the other 11 feet long. The table legs are

also made of California Sugar Pine-thus the entire table is made of wood.

West Side Lumber Company owns a large body of timber in the heart of the great Sugar Pine belt in the High Sierra, about 6,000 feet above sea level just north of the Yosemite Valley and near the famous Placerville gold mines that were so famous during the Gold Rush of '49. This soft-textured timber grows very large and averages 959 feet to the 16foot log-it's big timber !

The annual capacity of this mill is 70 million feet. Their output is seasoned in Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns, and much of the lumber is used for pattern stock. W. R. Thorsen of San Fernando is president; Eugene M. Prince, San Francisco, vice-president; Fred Ellis, Tuolumne, manager; W. J. Hanlon, superintendent of logging and transportation; William C. Holm, plant superintendent; and P. L. Heron, sales manager.

The large timber supply will keep this plant in operation for many years.

Northwest Forest Industries to Grow 21,500,000 Trees in New Nursery For Planting on Burned Lands

Tacoma, Washington, September 22, 1941.-Bulldozers, graders and carry-alls will be making the dirt fly next week on a tree nursery and tree-planting project that rvill round out the conservation program of Northwest forest industry, operators who are cooperating in the enterprise announced today. Preparation of the nursery soil for seeding will soon begin on 40 acres of Nisqually Flat, adjoining the Pacific Highway, 8 miles north of Olympia, according to the operators. Industry expenditures, they said, will be close to $200,000, on the basis of initial commitments n.racle on the nursery and on plantings.

"The nursery is a cooperative enterprise of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and forest land orvners in the Douglas fir region," Corydon Wagner, president of the Association, stated in Tacoma toclay. "The nursery is planned to produce at least 5,000,000 trees per year. Already contracts have been made for 21,500,000 trees, tvhich represent over 8 per cent of the total capacity of the nursery for the first five years.

"The magnitude of this undertaking requires group action. Many companies have sought to restore growth on fire-denuded areas of their lands, but no planting stock has been available for private purchase. The new cooperative tree nursery is a logical development in meeting a longexisting need. The whole project u,ill be fortified by experience gained in the operation of smaller nurseries by several farsighted companies tvho have tried out, over long periods, the growing of trees for planting.

"The new nursery is of a capacity that best meets reqttirements for economical operation and effective production. It has been made possible by the determination of a number of practical operators to regrow their timber, and by their willingness to meet the West Coast Lumbermen's Association halfway in advancing the cost of acquiring and developing the nursery. We expect many other operators to join us. It is highly probable that our nursery production rvill be oversold. In this event, more ground is available for the extension of this nursery, or similar nurseries may be established on other sites, in both Washington and Oregon.

"It is important to keep in rnind that thiS project is a rounding-out of the conservation program of the forest in. dustries of the Pacific Northwest-that it is by no means a first requisite of reforestation on cutovers. For every tree we plant, ten or a dozen will be planted by nature from seecl trees left in logging for this precise purpose. And-keeping fire out of growing trees remains our No. 1 task in reforesting the lands that have yielded their harvest of old trees for the production of homes and of vital material for national defense.

"The companies are agreeing to put $85,000 into the planting stock itself," Mr. Wagner concluded. "They will spend at least another $100,000 in setting the young trees out on their lands. Other charges are calculated to make the project a $40,000 forest industry enterprise."
