How Lrumber Lrooks

Seattle, Washington, Sept 15, 194.t--The rveekll' ar.erage of \.\rest Coast lumber production in August (5 n'eeks) u'as 157,151,000 board feet, or 99.4 per cent of 1910-1943 average, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly srlrvey of the industry. Orders averaged 188,212,Ufi b.f.; shipments 153,206,00O. Weekly averages for July were: Production, 730,322,0m bi. (82.5 per cent of the 1940-1943 average) ; orders, 130,455,000; shipments, 134,924,0W.

Thirty-five weeks for 1944, cumulative production 5,428,510,000 b.f.; 35 weeks, 1943, 5,256,825,000; 35 rveeks, 1942, 5,948,747,Un.

Orders for 35 weeks oI 1944 break dorvn as follorvs: rail, 4,507,884,000 b.f.; domestic cargo, 646,362,000; export, 139,180,000 ; local, 521,457,m.

The industry's unfilled order file stoocl at 1,075,06S,m0 b.f. at the end of August; gross stocks at 449,434,Cfli0.

August production lifts the West Coast lumber industry back to the level of June. Second feattlre of the current industry situation is that over-all military requirements appear to have passed the peak ancl dropped slightly, although still having first call on the major part of West Coast pro- duction. In meeting this continuing demand the stiffest problem that confronts the industry is log supply for the coming r,r'inter. The critical shortage of heavy duty tires is taking trucks off the log hauls of Washington and Oregon. Tl.re majority of log producers throughout the region are affected.

The West Coast lumber industry has experienced its first month of the drastic overall control designed by the War I'roduction Board to protect lumber supplies for ottr whole \\,'ar economy, in which lumber needs for transportation, housing, ltox and crating, and food production are hardly less vital than direct military recluirements. Despite the serious restrictions imposed by the new control on everyday uses of lumber, the industry is taking it in stride as part of the obligation of war.

The question of possible relaxation in lumber controls when Germany is knocked out of the war will shortly be considered by the War Production Board. The critical nature of lumber is likely to hold back its release from military requirements longer than may be the case with most war rnaterials, but the inclustry still anticipates that a greater margin of free markets will become possible.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended Septeml>er 9, 104 mills reporting, gave orders as 82,108,000 feet, shiprnents 70,576,000 feet, and production 75,368,000 feet. C)rders on hand at the end of the rveek totaled 392,252,UJO feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended Septemlrer 16,92 units (145 mills) reporting, gave orders as 18,171,000 feet, shipments 19,213,000 feet, and production

Public Expects to pay $4,000 to $10,000 For New Postwar Home, Survey Shows

Most families intending to build a home after the rvar are planning to spend from $4,000 to $10,000. according to a nation-wide survey released today (Sunday, Sept. 2a) by the N{asonite Corporation. Half expect their home to cost between $4,000 to $6,@0, and approximately one-quarter estimate from $6,000 to $10,000. One in six hopes to pay less than $4,000, and only one in twenty is planning to spend more than $10,000.

No marked preference for either traditional or modern style was found in the survey. Practicability, convenience and ease of maintenance were deerned more important than adherence to any particular style by the more than 1,000 men and women who responded rvith details concerning the homes they hope to build. In most cases, the exterior will be wood, either natural or hardboard, although brick veneer, solid brick and stone follorved closely in the order of preference.

Inside there will be a living room, dining room, kitchen, trvo or three bedrooms and a bath. They rvill be easy to clean and designed to take advantage of modern labor saving devices. Painted or panelled walls tvere preferred tr,vo to one as compared r,r'ith paper walls, and walls and ceilings probably will be of dry rvall construction, as most of the prospective new home owners considered crack-proo{ walls and ceilings an important feature.

Most of those planning to spend more than $6,000 want either a den or recreation room with the odds slightlv in favor of the den. The combination living-dining room, popular in city apartments, was favored by those lvho expect to pay less than $4,000, but found littie approval by those wl-ro expect to pay more. Insulation rvas specified :ls a must by all of the prospective builders, but most of them regard a powder room as unnecessary.

A marked variation from the traditional was a preference expressecl by more than a third for a ground floor utility room in place of a basement. Hardwood was the favored material for floors, followed closely by wall-to-r,r,all carpeting, linoleum and hardboard.

"The problem of abolishing want is NOT one of DIVISION, as politicians aver; it is a problem in multiplication. Conquer poverty by the only credible method-by PRODUCTION on a basis so efficient, upon a range so vast, upon a scale so magnificent, that the real wealth of the world flows to the common mxn."-p1ss. Wriston, Brown University.

:k**

We have three major problems before us today: First, to win the war, wholly and completely; second, to win the peace by the making of arrangements for a warless future; and third, to win the battle of reconversion from war to peace here at home. If we may judge from all we read and hear of late, the third, which I am going to discuss here, is a problem of vital and staggering importance. The question seems to be, what philosophy shall prevail in this transition period; the philosophy of scarcity, which prevailed in this country from 1933 until we got into the war; or the philosophy so well expressed in the opening para. graph-the philosophy of PRODUCTION TO CREATE \VEALTH AND EMPLOYMENT.

*,k*

Already we are hearing much from the prophets of scarcity. Working hours, they say, must go down; wages per hour, must go up; production of every sort must be cut to a pattern to fit the ideas of the believers in scarcity; bribery (subsidies) must be used to pay people not to produce enough to glut the market and get costs down; high WAGES, not high PRODUCTION, must be the vehicle over which wartime prosperity must be continued into peacetime prosperity. These, and many other like ideas, are being ofrered as a panacea to prevent economic demoralization after the war when many millions of people must change their employment.

*:F*

Before the war we spent more than fifty billions of dollars trying to artificially cure the depression. Yet when the war came along to furnish copious employment for all those who wanted to work, we still had nearly ten.million men unemployed. We used all that money to prime the pump. The trouble was we had to keep on spending to keep it primed, because with an economy based on scarcity, there was no hope for the industrial machine ever to get running in high, and take industry off relief. Industry and agriculture were both on a part-time operating basis when the war came along. Never once during the years between 1933 and the beginning of the war inflation, did we ever try to cure the depression by turning industry loose and attempting to cure the depression by real, rather

than artificial means. We tried one panacea after another, but all of them were based on scarcity, on deficit spending and the like. And we kept the depression. Our financial strength was great enough to sustain us.

Now things are di,ffer"la.oJr,n three hundred billions of dollars public debt. there is not the slightest hope that we can go back to the philosophy of deficit spending, paying the producers of the nation cash to make less and less of the fundamentals of life. We have got to find some other system. Let us pray that ure turn our faces and our brains away from the false doctrine of creating prosperity by decreasing production, and try what all sound economists have advocated all along-the broad highway of greater and greater, rather than less and less Production'

If a better understanding could be had by the workers of the nation of the actual relationship between wages, and employment, and production, our postwar planning could be greatly simplified. The greatest hurdle we have got to climb to get this nation back into sound civilian high gear is the false belief that has been drilled into the heads of millions of working men during the past decade that WAGES means WEAL?H; that the thing that counts is how many dollars go into his weekly pay envelope, instead of the important question being, how much of those things that he wants in this world can a man trade for his week's effort or production. ***

There is much talk today about what is to happen to wages in the reconversion of industry and agriculture from war to peace. Wages are as generally and thoroughly misunderstood as money; and there are few subjects concerning which so many people know so little, as the subject of money. What every man needs to'know and understand clearly is that there are trvo kinds of wages-MONEY wages, and REAL wages. Money wages mean a certain number of dollars and cents for a certain time or amount of work. REAL WAGES mean what can be bought with that money. There is a vast difference. The country seems well populated with so-called leaders who believe firmly-or act like they do-that the nu.rnber of dollars and cents in the pay envelope-NOT what it will buy- is the whole story to the worker. That sort of thinker naturally concludes that by raising money wages he solves the labor problem. Whereas, any person of the most ordinary thinking capacity must realize that unless the in-

to.those boys who have been keeping watch over the cargoes of munitions and supplies of all kinds that have contributed so much towards the coming victory on all fronts.

Let's continue to back these boys up by buying more War Bonds.

(Continued from Page 8)

creased wage INCREASES THE PURCHASING POWER of the pay received, it is NOT a raise.

And here is the ,,e*t tnlui. it ", MUST be understood and incorporated into our postwar reemployment plans; RAISING WAGES does NOT increase the purchasing power of the wage UNLESS IT ADDS TO PRODUCTION. You see, ALL WEALTH ORIGINATES FROM PRODUCTION-NOT from WAGES. Reduced to simple economics-and that is something that the philosophers of scarcity fight shy of-arbitrarily raising money wages simply means higher cost and so higher prices of the com, modities produced. Is there any doubt about that in any mind that can add two and two and get four? And higher costs of the commodities produced necessarily means higher prices to the consumer, less production, less employment, and fewer purchases; and so on around the vicious circle.

How can wages go UP ""U **O*g hours DOWN without the COST of all products affected increasing proportionately, thus decreasing the buying power of the upped urages to a point lower than before the increase? So, because of the increased costs and prices and follqwing this same line of thinking, wages must again go up to meet the increased cost of living, and working hours must again go down. And when they do-PRODUCTION-the only REAL source of wealth and prosperity and employment, goes steadily DOWNWARD. When this happens the managers of this cycle of scarcity rnust find funds with which to reimburse those who are getting their toes trod on; and that includes everyone, employee, employer, and all others concerned. What, then, does the increased wage buy? Only one thing-1ROUBLE. Yet there are plenty of men with custard brains and loud voices who are blatantly preaching that very philosophy all over this country.

***

If we hope to weather the economic and financial storm that will follow the war and get back to a happy, peaceful, sensible, and prosperous basis-something we have not seen for twenty years-we must follow the advice of president Wriston of Brown University, quoted above. We must produce incredible quantities of all the good things of life on so economical a basis and distribute them in so intelligent a manner that "the real wealth of the world will flow to the cornmon man." And that is what we all hope for, isn't it?

We must come to understand THIS; that if everyone could buy more, everyone would be wealthier. fn no other

way can substantial prosperity be created. Production must increase, to increase prosperity. Increased production is the only permanent source of REAL high wages, and the only permanent cure for unemployment. No greater folly waJever uttered than that the way to relieve unemployment' is by cutting down working hours-and thereby production.

***

We face the problem of balancing rewards between persons and occupations. That balance. can be adjusted by either leveling (JP, or leveling DOWN. The difference is that when you level DOWIN you are doing something temporary and artificial; when you level UP, you are creating something substantial and intelligent. For instance, if the farmer is relatively underpaid for his products, the philosophy of scarcity says he should reduce his production. The philosophy of production to create prosperity says you should DO THE OPPOSITE. Instead of cutting his production to relieve the farmer, you should INCREASE THE PRODUCTION OF INDUSTRY, of the things the farmer wants to trade his produce for. That will reduce these industry costs and prices and increase the purchasing power of what the farmer raises. If, on the other hand, we try to solve the problem by curtailing the production of the farmer, we simply reduce the acreage production of those things every citizen can use and enjoy. The attendant loss to the many far offsets the gain to the few, SO FAR AS THE NATIONAL PROSPERITY BALANCE IS CONCERNED. When you curtail the farm pioduction, and at the same time cut down the working hours of industry-which is what we did for eight long years-you are simply rowing strongly with both oars toward the brink of the economic precipice. You put men out of work, reduce the production of the things everyone needs, increase their costs, increase their prices, and make it increasingly difficult for the ordinary man to buy the things he wants with the money he gets.

A good job for every good man, a fair reward in terms of the real things of life for his labor-these are the things that make REAL and lasting prosperity. When you discuss wages be sure you differentiate between REAL and MONEY wages.

***

A ten year old boy can easily demonstrate the unwisdom of the philosophy of scarcity by simply carrying the thing through. You raise wages and cut working hours and you raise costs and prices. So, to meet the increase, you once again must raise wages and cut production. And soon you have money wages a mile high-and nothing on the top side of the earth to buy with them.

Sweden Rivals Germany in Producing FHA Acts to Help Dealerr Eliminate Vital War Materials Out of \(/ood Flv-Bv-Night Operators

Much has been printed during the past trvo years concerning the marvels that have been lvrought by Gernrany in proclucing vitally needecl u'ar materials out of her forests. In these columns vve have told about the Gern.ralt nation producing gas from 'ivood that propels 200,000 Ger'man trucks, and 30,000 tractors; 70 million e'allons of alcohol distilled frorn 'ivood every year; l.ruge cluantities ,>f lubricants synthetized from chips and shavir.rgs; hundreds of thousands of tons of rau' sugar hvdrolyzed from cellulose ; large quantities of nerv proteins produced fronr woorl and made into human food to supplen.rer.rt meat ratiotrs; hundreds of thousands of tons of fodder for cattle l>einq made from wood cellulose, producing thereby milk, butter, cheese, and meat; synthetic textiles in large quantities to rnake civilian and army clothing; impregnated and gluedup 'rvood and resin that is made into rvooden iron as thev call it, for building airplanes; and many, lrany other uruclr needed products that German chernists have founcl lr'ays to create out of the fiber of rvood.

Norv rve hear that Sweden, bound tightl-v alouucl ll1' thc blockade of war and minus numerous rau' materials for' that reason, is keeping up rvith Germany in creating rrerv products from wood. Here are some of the things the Swedes are doing'rvith the products of their excellent softr.r'ood forests : they are manufacturing large quantities of rvood into paper, and then making the paper into fodder for their horses and cattle ltoth; thev are extracting sugar from rvood, and making splendid food .for their hogs; linseed oil, greases, and lubricating oils ate being made fronr tree stumps; oil derived from processed wood is replacing glycerin in soap; from rvood they are producing alcohol, toluol, glycol, as r,vell as substitutes for spices, flavorings, coffee, yeast, flour, soybeans, and proteir.rs. One Srvedish mill could supply the world u'ith inritation vanilla made from wood. Another makes imitation coffee from sawdust mixed with dandelion roots. Spiced oils sprinkled over sarvdust make imitation spices. Paper rnade from rvood into the shape of sausage skins have entirely taken the place oF the genuine gut skins the Swedes forrnerly used to enca:;e their sausage, and it is very satisfactory. Bed sheets and mattresses are now made from u'oocl paper. Paper mats and rugs are giving excellent service. Shoes are made with wooden soles and tops. Srvedish barbers use paper tolvels. Paper bandages are being rnade for both home and hospital. Paper sacks have replaced jute, etc. They rnake lots of rayon and use it for many purposes.

One of the most novel and useful of Srvedish sulistitutes is paper fodder for cattle and horses. It is mixed r,vith oats, hay, or oil cakes. When wood is made into sugar the residue is pressed into fuel briquettes.

One of the most vital products the Srvedes are makirrrl from wood is gengas, a combustible gas made from wood or charcoal and generated in an apparatus on the car or truck where it is used. They have kept 65,000 automobiles, thousands of taxicabs, and many small fishing boats in operation through the war by the use of this gas. The public gets very little of their small supply of gasoline, so

Strongly emphasizing that misrepresentations, false guarantees, falsified credit applications and other improper practices 'ivill no longer be tolerated in the Title I prograln, FHA has brought out a new booklet, supplementing amended Title I regulations, that simplifies and pictograms the six essential steps in developing business under '1.itle I. The booklet, titled "FIere's Holv to Make Sales ancl Satisfied Customers with FHA Title I Loans," will be distributed to dealers through lending institutions, but is not to lte consiclered a promotion piece. It tells rvhat to do, and rvhat not to do, and places the responsibility for credit risks on lending institntions who must now investigate dealers.

Northup, secretary, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated, "FHA officials have said, that were only the 22,O00 lumber dealers involved under Title I there n.ould have been no need for tigl-rtening the regulation r,vith regard to investigating dealers seeking to initiate loans. But FHA Title I insured loans are available to some hundreds of thousands of dealers, applicators, jobbers, and contractors of all types."

From June 27, 1934, r,vhen FHA rvas first organized, to May 31, 1944, FHA has insured approximately 4,581,000 Title I notes, amounting to $1,822,00O,000 and has paid claims on nearly 186,000 notes in an amount of $49,496,000. Of this total, recoveries amount to $22,247,000, notes in the process of collection to $17,298,000, and uncollectible note balances to $9,951,000.

"Although very few claims, comparatively, have had to be paid bi' FHA for misrepresentations made by any members of the building industry, there have been enough to indicate u'hat might happen in the post-rvar period," explained Secretary Northup, "for the estimated post-war repair-remodeling demand, it is believed, rvill equal or exceed the dollar volume of ne.iv home construction for the first two years.

"The potential market for new roofs, siding, porches, picture rr'iudou's, and general all-around 'face-lifting' will inevitably attract many new and inexperienced men to the building Iie1d. l)articularly during the transition period u'hen returning soldiers and unemployed warworkers are competing for jobs there is a likelihood that the building industry u'ill be flooded u'ith men who are all intent upor-r going into business for themselves.

Direction 9 to Order L-335 Amended

Restrictions on the use of certain grades and species of lumber in the manufacture of farm machinery and equipment, furniture, millwork, ladders and other specified products have been relaxed by the War Production Board.

Direction 9 to the lumber control order, L-335, as amended, removes all prohibitions on the use of white oak and red cypress, and alsb eliminates the prohibition on the use of Douglas fir and hardwoods for dunnage.

As originally issued in July, 7944, Direction 9 liste<t 26 types of products for which manufacturers could not receive certain species and grades of lumber. Products removed from the list by today's amendment follow:

Boot and shoe findings; dowels and skewers; flooring; handles and hand tools; musical instruments; shade and map rollers, including curtain rods; and boxes and containers other than shipping containers.

With the exception of boxes and containers, these prodr:cts are made principally from hardwoods, which are no longer included among the prohibited species, WPB officials explained. No appreciable saving in lumber rvas effected by the restriction on boxes and containers other than shipping containers, officials said.

Relaxation of restrictions has been made possible because military needs for the foregoing species are being satisfactorily met, WPB said. Furthermore, restrictions caused an accumulation of stocks of these species and grades, particularly by small mills.

Species still restricted are: No. 2, 3, and 4 common grades of ponderosa pine, Idaho white pine, sugar pine, lodgepole pine, white fir, Engelmann spruce, produced in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada. Utah. Colorado. Arizona, Nelv Mexico or South Dakota.

These species may not be received for use in ship dunnage or in bracing, blocking or shoring in freight cars or trucks; or in the following products:

Farm machinery, implements, and equipment that include any item controlled by Order L-257, but not including rvooden farm pumps.

Boats, pleasure (sail boats, row boats, and motor boats). Caskets, burial cases and other morticians' equipment (excluding shipping cases.)

Fixtures, commercial.

Ladders (except ships'ladders and for use on motorized fire or rescue ladders manufactured apparatus.)

Furniture.

Stepladders.

Lockers and shelving, industrial or commercial.

Millwork, building woodwork (window sash and door frames ; windows ; sash ; doors; interior trim ; stairs ; cabinets ; blinds ; mouldings; porchwork and exterior trim ; window and door screens.)

Mobile houses (house trailers and expansible mobile houses.)

Prefabricated buildings and structures and fabricated parts of buildings and structures.

Plumbers woodrvork and fixtures (toilet seats, towel racks.)

Radio and phonograph cabinets.

Refrigerators (except walk-in) and refrigerating ecluipment,

Scenery and display signs.

Toys, games, children's vehicles.

Trunks, valises, trunk lockers.

Woodenware and novelties (coat hangers, gavels, trays, umbrellas, buttons, cases, etc.)

A Modern Funeral

Thomas Dreier says: "Except that I want no funeral services and no pallbearers when my assignment is finished, I'd like my friends to do what the pallbearers did after Oliver Herford was buried. These men returned to The Players for a late lunch and began telling stories about Oliver. The occasion turned into one of hilarity. When, after I am gone, folks talk about me, I hope they will have fun. Should anyone indulge in gloominess or mourning, b'jinks, I'll haunt 'em."

Advice

Seek not gaiety to glean, Or sorrow seek to dull: For gaiety may be obscene, And sorrow beautiful. We cannot-now or afterUntangle hopes or fears, For there are tears in laughter, And many a laugh in tears.

Not So Foolish After All

It is said that Sir Walter Scott met a half-witted fellow one day when he was strolling about, and said to him in fun:

"Sandy, I'll gi'e ye a thousand pounds if you will let me kill you."

"Na, na, Sir Walter, I canna do that. But I'll compromise wi' ye ! I'11 let ye half kill me for half that money."

Aged Philosophy by Dorothy Pcrrker

When I was young and bold and strong, O right was right and wrong uras wrong, My plume on high, my flag unfurled, I rode away to right the world.

"Come out, you dogs, and fight," said I, And wept I had but once to die.

Now I am old; and good and bad . Are \floven in a crazy plaid. I sit and say "the world is so, And he is wise who lets it go. A battle lost, a battle wonThe difference is small, my son." fnertia rides and riddles me, And calls itself Philosophy.

The Circle

A touring Eastern go-getter spied a lazy Indian chief lolling indolently at the door of his tepee somewhere out West.

"Chief," remonstrated the go-getter, "y.hy don't you. get yourself a job in a war plant?"

"Why?" grunted the Chief.

"Well, you could earn a lot of money; maybe a hundred dollars a week."

"Why?" insisted the Chief.

"Oh, if you worked hard and saved your money, you'd soon have a bank account. Wouldn't you like that?"

"Why?" again asked the Chief.

"For gosh's sake!" shouted the exasperated go-getter. "With a big bank account you could retire, and never have to work again."

"Never have worked," said the big Chief.

His Experience

Mose had applied to the philosophic white gentleman for a loan. He was turned down. The gentleman said:

You are strong and healthy and work is plentiful. Why don't you, get a job. Hard work never killed anybody.', Mose said: "You sho is wrong erbout dat, Boss. I'se done lost fou' wives fum nuffin' else."

Safety Orders Recommended for Straddle Tvp" Lumber Carriers

A hearing was held at the State Building, San Francisco, September 21, before the Inclustrial Accident Commission for the State of California, for the purpose of {ormulating reasonable and effective safety orders that rvi1l apply to the operation o{ Stradclle Type Lumber Carriers in the lumber industry.

The California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association presented :rt the hearing a set of safetv orders, rt'orked out by a committee of the Association, rn"hich they srrggested might supersede as far as the luml>er industry is concerned the Gantry Truck Safety Orders promulgated by the Inclustrial Acciclent Commission, dated July 1, 1943.

The suggestecl orders are as follou,s :

Warning f)evices : Every lumber carrier shall be equipped rvith an effectir.e urarning device, foot or hand operated, audible for 1@ feet in clear areas. C)perators shall be instructed to use these u'arning devices at frequent interr-als rvhenever a pedestrian hazard exists.

Visibility: Close attention shall be paid to maximum r-isibility from the driver's seat. Opening of blind corners ancl other devices to increase visibilitv shall be encottragecl.

Color: All carriers shall be painted a clistinctive colorchrome yellolv preferred.

Speeds: Speed shall not be excessive taking into consideration conditions surrounding the areas in which carriers are used and the nature of tire roadways orr rvhich they travel. Traffic lanes and pedestrian u'alkways shall be clearly defined.

Lights: When operating on streets or l-righr,vays after sundorvn the requirements of the State Highway Department or local authorities shall apply.

Around yards or plants there shall be a minimum of two headlights in front and one spot light behind. These are necessary in practical carrier operation.

Mechanical Condition: Operators shall be instructed to report all mechanical defects immediately. Brakes especially shall be frequently checked and kept in safe operating conclition.

The California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association has been established for many years. Herb Ryan, Winton Lumber Co., Martel, Calif., is president; Walter Johnson, Associated Lumber & Box Co., San Francisco, is

vice president, and D. N. Edwards, Wood Products Co., Oakland, is secretary-treasurer. Orrie Hamilton, Southern California Retail Iumbermen's Association, Los Angeles, is statisticiar-r. The ofifice of the Association is at Room 410, Western Professional Building, 7706 Broadr.r'ay, C)akland 12.

The committee appointed to formulate the suggested safety orders consisted of W. C. Collins, Hammond Lumber Co.. Samoa; E. S. Mackins, Jr., The Pacific Lumber Co., Scotia; Derby Bendorf, The Pacific Lumber Co., and Orrie Hamilton, together with the officers of the Associatior-r.

Comrnissioner Alexander Watchman presided at the hearing. W. C. Collins acted as spokesman for the committee. Tl.rere was a large attendance of representatives of both manufacturers and distributors of lumber. James Smith, Hammond Lumber Co., Los Angeles, attended as representative of Southern California distributing )'ards.

The safety orders'rvere discussed point by point and N{r. Watcl-rman promised that tl-re Commission rvill give the matter its early attention.

Mexico Suited For Highly Developed Forest Industry

Washington, September 1l-Mexico is admirably suited for a highly developed forest industry, according to a report released toclal' b1' the Department of Commerce.

The study, prepared by the Lumber Unit of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, covers the forest resources and lumber economy of the neighboring republic.

Once adequate means of transportation are established and good forest management put into practice, it is pointed out, the vast timber reserve rvill become a constant and valuable source of income, and l\,Iexico rvill be in an enr.iable position with regard to international lumber trade.

For example, the southern republic has overland communication with the United States and also links together North, Central and South America. Waterborne trade can be carried .rvith ease to any point along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and overseas via the great circle routes.

l\Iexico's forest resorrrces are diversified, ranging from tropical l.rardu'oods of exotic nature and high intrinsii value to the temperate hardr.r'oods and conifers common to the United States.

Obstacles presently stand in the way of the full development of these resources. Transportation and labor are frequently inadequate in various regions. Sawmills are ferv in number, rather small and generally poorly equipped. Industrial organization, standardization and grading rule practices need improvement. But with careful planning and foresight full utilization of Mexico's forest resources can be realized.

The report was prepared primarily to ansr,r,'er questions of United States rvho look to Mexico for supplementary timber supplies. Copies can be obtained on u'ritten request, from the Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D. C., or its various field offices.

Plywood Firm Honored Three \(/ays In Recent Months

Recent months rn'ere months of achievement for the M and M Wood Working Company of Portland, Oregon. Thomas Malarkey, vice president of the contpany, rvas elected president of the Douglas Fir Plvwood Association; Michel Pasquier, engineer, was granted a patent for a step-scarf joint for joining sheets of plywood; and the Plylock division of tl-re company received its second "E" flag arvard from the War Production Board.

N{r. Malarkey, who has been vice president of the company for over four years, was a member of the management cornmittee of the Douglas Fir Plyrn'ood Association for five years before becoming president. He is also vice president and a rnember of the management committee of Pacific Forest Industries at Tacoma, member of the WPB Softwood Plyrvood Advisory committee, and member of the OPA Plywood Advisory committee.

The step-scarf joint, conceived by Mr. Pasquier, represents a substantial improvement over the ordinary scarf joint in joining sheets of plywood. Continuous long plywood panels are used in construction of Navy rescue craft, landing craft, PT boats, life rafts, and life boats. Special feature of Pasquier's joint is that the step assures a posi-
