How l.rumber l.rooks

As this issue goes to press on Septembet 28, the CIO longshoremen's strike which has tied up West Coast shipping is in its 27th day with no settlement in sight. 130 American flag vessels are tied up in West Coast ports. Approximately 6,250 officers and merchant seamen are idle, together with most of the lz,WO longshoremen.

Lumber production in the Northwest is starting to be seriously hampered by the strike, coupled with a rail car shortage. About 100 small mills have closed, and others are planning to suspend or reduce operations.

Lumber shipments of. 414 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, were 19.3 per cent below production for the week ended September 11, 1948. In the same week new orders of these same mills were I4'7 per cent below production. Unfilled order files of the reporting mills amount to 46 per cent of stocks. For reporting softwood mills unfilled orders are equivalent to 25 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks are equivalent to 53 days' production.

Forest Products Laboratory Discusses Uses Of \fhite Speck Lumber

Some recent observations on the presence of white speck (more accnrately and preferably termed rvhite pocket rot) in lumber have focussed attention on its use in building construction. The topic is of increased interest because of the present commercial harvesting of timber stands in which trees contain considerable amounts of white speck' Formerly trees of this type were often le{t to waste in the woods, or were not accessible to the logging industry. In the interest of conservation it is desirable to use lumber containing white speck rvhere use requirements permit.

There are many satisfactory uses {ollumber containing white speck. High strength is not generally required for sheathing, core stock, subfloors and roof boards, and white speck lumber may be used for these ptlrposes. When used for joists, studs, and framing in house construction, care should be taken to select a grade that rvill provide sufficient strength for the purpose intended.

Pending further examination of the subject, white speck lumber should not be put to structural uses that have a high strength requirement. As currently graded, white speck lumber is not admitted in the grades of lumber designed to meet such high strength requirements.

It is important that users understand clearly tl-re nature of white speck and the limitations imposed on the use of lumber containing it. White speck is caused by the fungus Fomes pini which destroys wood cell structure in progressive degrees. In its final stages the rot riddles the heartrvood with spindle-sl-raped pockets whcih are lined with strands of nearly pure cellulose. After the lumber containirrg Fomes pini has become continuously dry (less than fr percent moisture content, which is normal for housing

lumber not exposed to the weather) the fungus will not progress further. If it becomes wet again, white speck lumber, like lumber free from tl-ris defect, is subject to decacy caused by other fungi.

Knots and other growth characteristics reduce strength according to their magnitude. White speck in the advanced stages of decay likewise materially reduces the strength of' wood in bending, compression, toughness, and stiffness. The reduction in strength is gradual, beginning just before the advanced stage is reached and increasing as decay progresses. U. S. Dept. Agr. Bull. 779 shows that, in the advanced stages of decay, bending strength is reduced as much as 50 percent, compared to clear lumber 'free of all defects. Likewise, compared to clear lumber, compression is reduced as much as 30 percent; impact as much as 40 percent; and total work in bending as much as 80 percent. Since lumber containing white speck provides lower strength values, commercial standards classify lumber containing'ivhite speck-as well as that ocntaining large knots, knot holes, shake, split, et cetera-into the lower grades which are not expected to furnish high working strength.

When high nail-holding power is a definite requirement, allorvance should be made for reduced nail-holding power. More nails or larger nails or both would be required to o'btain the same holding power.

For practical purposes the effect of Fomes pini in reducing the strength of lumber does not progress beyond the time at which the lumber is manufactured. Thus it is possible properly to classify and grade white speck lumber to meet specific use requirements at the time of manufacture.

Jerome K.

Dr. Thomas J. McCarthy wrote: "Our society is giving increasing evidence that it is concerned, not so much with principles, as it is with percentages. We live in an age of polls, and the opinions and judgments of men are being measured today, not so much in terms of their rightness and wrongness, as they are in terms of the numbers that can be marshalled behind them. We have been encouraged to believe that if 80 or 90 per cent of the people favor an individual program, then the right is on that side and it is useless or of little avail to be numbered among the protesting 10 or 20 per cent. Numbers, of themselves, mean nothing. We should not be deceived by them. Rightness or wrongness is not bound up with mathematics, but with morals'tt

John Amherst Sexon said: "What is freedom? It is man's highest aspiration, man's brightest hope, the love of God, the pursuit of happiness, the acceptance of responsibilities, the exercise of our just rights, a commitment to the Democratic Way of Life, the dedication of one's life to the cause of Liberty and Justice for all mankind." {. * *

When you hear or read demagogic words concerning the "ill-clad, ill-housed, ill-fed" of our nation, remember that to be poor has also its compensations. Remember that most of the intellectual giants of history have been nursed at the breast of poverty. Remember that most of those giants, had they suddenly become rich, would almost certainly have likewise become barren of the signs of genius. For genius is a thousand times more likely to be found in a hut or a hovel than in a mansion. Most of those who have climbed highest on the ladder of true fame, started at the lowest round.

Victor Hugo said: "When you open a school, you close a prison." He was thinking, of course, of a school like Girard College; a school where boys are taught to be selfrespecting, self-supporting, self-reliant, and able to care for themselves and also help others in bearing the burdens of this life. Such a school no doubt DOES close a prison. I have a friend, deeply interested in education, who eloquently proclaims on all proper occasions that our colleges should be so rebuilt and revised that they will send forth graduates trained and able to take up the practical burdens of life. He thinks much of our education is wasted because we teach our young people to think, but not to DO. Girard College, in Philadelphia, is that sort of school. Here two thousand boys are taught nothing but practical things, and they are educated at 18. It has been often said that our modern forms of education have advanced the age of infancy to 25. Not so Girard College, which was built and endowed by Stephen Girard, one of the earliest great American businessmen, and a close friend of Benjamin Franklin. He founded the school for the purpose of helping helpless boys. A great friend and benefactor of education he gave freely during his entire life to helping the poor, the blind, the afflicted ef all sorts. But he wouldn't let a

clergyman into Girard College, and they can't get in to this day. I told the story in this column not long since about how Horace Greeley, who dressed sort of preacherlike, tried to get in, and the guard at the door told him he couldn't. "The hell I can't," said Greeley. "Come right in," said the guard. * * *

Irving Hoffman in "Quote," tells a good dog story. He says a Russian wolfhound arrived in England from Russia, and was welcomed by an English setter. The Russian dog told of the wonderful amount of good, red meat he had to eat in Russia. The setter asked-"Then why did you come here, where food is so scarce?" And the wolfhound replied: "\il/ell, a fellow likes to bark once in a while, too."

Fire Prevention Week

October 3 to 9

Fire losses throughout the nation totalled $437,435,000 for the first seven months of 1948, an amount far exceeding the total fire destruction for the full year of 1944. In July alone, $50,955,000 worth of property burned, bringing the total for the twelve-month period ending July 31 to a record-breaking $711,437,A00, a figure never before reached in U. S. history. During the first 121 days of 1948, homes, business establishments and other properties went up in smoke to the tune of $2,252,0m a day. Such a record demands full-scale support of Fire Prevention Week by all citizens and civic groups.

Fire Prevention Week this year is from October 3 to 9.

Simpson Purchases Mlll In Klamath, Calif.

Purchase of the Coast Redwood Company sawmill and other properties at Klamath, California was announced September 15, by the Simpson Logging Company.

The mill, cutting 80,000 feet of lumber per shift, is located close to extensive redwood and fir timber owned by Simpson in Del Norte county. The purchase of Coast Redwood's physical properties includes cutting rights on 7,500 acres, mainly in Humboldt County.

C. H. Kreienbaum, Simpson president, said the purchase will add approximately 400 employees to the Simpson payroll. Former Coast Redwood employees will not be displaced, Mr. Kreienbaum said. The former sawmill owner, A. K. Wilson, retains the firm name of Coast Redwood.

Simpson's new operation will be the Klamath Division, with Fen C. Riley as manager. Among Simpson men who have gone to Klamath to assist in the handling of the new Simpson properties are Harold Ahlskog, plant manager of Olympic Plywood, Shelton, and Ken Blanchard, Shelton Office Manager.

Klamath is an unincorporated community of 700 population, 21 miles south of Crescent City, Calif. It is prominent as a sportsmen's center despite an annual precipitation of 70 to 100 inches. The new Simpson plant is located one-half mile out of town.

California Builders Supply Co. To Distribute Olympic Products in Northern Calilornia

In accordance rvith the policy of the Califorr-ria Builder:s Supply Co. to be most selective in lines distributed out of their Oakland, Sacramento and Fresno plants, the company is now distributing OLYMPIC products throughout the i\orthern California are3, according to Mr. Kenneth J. Shipp, president and orvner.

"We are sure that our many Northern California lumber dealer friends 'w'ill welcome our handling this popular, fine-quality line of pre-stained shakes and roofing shingles, as well as their nerv, improved line of stains," said Mr. Shipp. "These products have enjoyed wide acceptance and use all over the country and their manufacturer, the lMest Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle, has consistently follorved the policy of selling only through established retail lumber dealer outlets," continued Mr. Shipp. This policy rvill now become effective in all sales of OLYMPIC products in California.

It rvas further pointed out that pre-stained shake sidewalls are becoming more and more popular rvith builders in the area, because of their distinctive appearance, economy and ease of installation. This type of sideu'all construction is used on the most expensive homes as r,vell as on lor'ver cost homes for veterans, rvhere cost of construction has to be held do.ivn to a minimum. The fact that sidewalls of OLYMPIC Perfect-Fits are available ir-r five soft, pastel colors, is a particular inducement to builders who seek a variance in the appearance of homes of similar construction in the same grouping-so that they will not have the "block" appearance.

Ample stocks of O.T,Y\[PIC products r,vill be kept on hand to provrde prompt delivery to dealers in all three of the California Builders Supply Co. plants, it was said. Shipments to dealers in mixed-car lots can also be made

direct from the West Coast Stained Shingle Company, in Seattle.

Included in the complete line of pre-stained shingle sidewalls are the popular OLYMPIC Perfect-Fits (grooved texture), OLYMPIC Duo-Walls (plain surface) and three varities of pre-stained Handsplit Shakes. All are available in the following soft, subdued pastel colors: Chamois, Beachwood, Seafoam, White Primer and Russet. For roofs, the line includes pre-stained OLYMPIC Tri-Laps (plain surface) and three varities of Handsplits. These are available in the following five rich colors: Navajo, \\rillorv, Mahogany, Holly and Ebony.

All OLYMPIC sidewall and roof shingles are thoroughly impregnated with OLYMPIC Stain, which has been expressly formulated for these woods from pure pigments, finely ground in pure linseed oil. It is said that OLYMPIC Stains are ideal for all other wood surfaces, as well, as they penetrate the wood, bring out its natural beauty and provide lasting protection. The stains contain a special preservative-TOXAL (Pentachlorophenol)-which prevents rot and decay, curling and splitting. It is practically colorless and contains no creosote.

The California Builders Supply Co., now the Northern California distributor for these products, was founded in 1927 and has been under the supervision and ownership of Kenneth J. Shipp since that time. Other administrati'i'e officers are : Edmund F. Cardin, Jr., vice-president; Parker A11en, secretary-treasurer; and Frank L. Gregor, sales manager. Leo P. Rider is manager of the Oakland warehouse; Walter Olmstead is manager of the Fresno 'ivarehouse; and Arthur D. Williamson is manager of the Sacramento warehouse. Administrative offices are at the Oakland plant.

Took Him Literally

Britons think we Americans are sort of crazy, anyway. When the announcement was made that the famous Kitty Hawk plane of the Wright Brothers was to be returned to this country from England, one of the big airway systems offered to bring it back. They suggested disassembling it, crating it, and flying it back in one of their big planes.

The Kitty Hawk has been in London,s Royal Albert Museum ever since the Wright Brothers, indignant at what they considered the unfair treatment they were receiving

here at home, sent their priceless little plane to England for keeping.

So a representative of the airway system called at the Museum to look over the Kitty Hawk, and the situation in general. He said to the curator:

"\Me plan to fy her back to the United States.,'

The curator's face was ablaze with astonishment.

He looked at the little plane whose longest sustained flight was 59 seconds, and exclaimed:

"My word! Do you think she'll make it?"

Old Age Security

A giant Douglas fir on the Calapooya tree farm of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company has been assured a secure old age. The "Big Fellow," as he is called, is estimated to be 700 years old, and is about 11 feet in diameter 4 f.eet above the ground. The split top rears up about 150 feet into the sky. The forest patriarch will occupy a protected sanctuary alongside a Z7-mile logging road which was built around him rather than harvest him.

Don White Boosts Educational Lumber Courses

The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT learned that Don White, of White Brothers, San Francisco, was a great booster for the several educational courses now open to followers of the lumber industry, so asked him to write us his opinion of some of them for publication. His very practical and interesting reply follows:

"These are indeed a very fine contribution for the betterment of our industry. I remember, when f came into the lumber business in 1930, having spent most of my previous adult vacation holidays working around the yard, it was considered necessary for "new" men to work for a period of years before they gained any comprehensive knowledge in the lumber field. For the first year or two, they actually were considered a detriment, drawing a salary but producing little.

"Most "young" men in the distributing end of the business avidly read what little literature was available, but it generally took many years before they even felt at home in their chosen field. It was once said that it took aboot seven years to make a hardwood lumber clerk or tallyman; this was also partially true of office help and embryo salesmen.

"With World War II and the development of fast educational courses which converted peacetime citizens into technical experts in a few weeks time, the country, as a whole, woke up to the fact (which many educators and forward looking firms had discovered long ago), that the right sort of concentrated courses could do a world of good,

even in fields where the individuals had no previous experience.

"The lumber industry has started a marvelous job, through its various associations and groups, in hardwoods, softwoods, and kindred products, to thoroughly acquaint its "young, up and coming" men with the commodities they will have to handle.

"The National Hardwood Lumber Association has been conducting some very fine courses in Memphis. Various other groups, such as the Lumber Merchants' Association of Northern California, have sponsored some very successful courses in various parts of the state. The Forest Products Laboratory of Madison, Wisconsin, has been conducting a marvelous Dry Kiln Course, which is worth' ten times the modest tuition cost. The Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors' Association has just completed a short Hardwood Lumber fnspection Course in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. Results in all cases have been very gratifying.

"Besides the tremendous stimulant to the students and the renewed interest and confidence given them, tliey are basically better lumbermen and can, within a much shorter period, be of greater service to their own firms and the industry as a whole.

"We, as lumbermen, are on the right track. Let us continue to impart the knowledge that has taken most of us so many, many years to accumulate, to the young stalwarts, whom we want to "bring along," by continuing these excellent courses and more like them."

Released last April to all Pabco paint distributors throughout the West, the Pabco Cin-Dek-Orator has now proved itself one of the finest paint merchandising units available. During the planning stages The Paraffine Companies, fnc. wanted the most effective means to show the consumer how high-grade enamels would appear on the finished job. Such a unit was to eliminate paint and color guess rvork particularly for the houservife and amateur painter.

With this in mind Pabco developed the Cin-Dek-Orator paint merchandiser-which has the entire range of CinDek- colors painted not only on wood, but on numerous other household surfaces including metal, glass, wallboard, plaster, etc.

Industry-State Cooperation Holdt Down

Northwest Fire Loss

Oregon and Washington's timber ir-rdustries spent $3,696,767 in 1947 for direct forest fire protection, highest expenditure on record, W. D. Hager-rstein, forest engineer for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and Pacific Northwest Loggers Association, asserted here today in a progress report.

Industry and the trvo states together spent $6,265,602 in protection of Oregon and Washington forests from fire, Hagensteir-r said, in building up the outstanding feature in the national picture of forest conservation. He cited the industry's ou'n record, emphasizing expenditures within the Tree Farm program which approached 25 to 30 cents per acre annually, industry cooperation with the federal government through the states under the Clarke-McNary Act, joint industry and state forestry, and industry as the major financial supporter of Keep Oregon and Washington Green.

The industry forester pointed out that while national figures on 1947 forest fires showed an alarming increase both in numbers and acreage burned, the Oregon-Washington field of industry-state cooperation held fire loss to very low figures. There were 2146 fires in 1947 on nonfederal lands in the two states against 2058 in 1946. Acreage burned was 20,486 in 1946 and 76,443 in 1947. This compares rvith an annual a\rerage for the period 1934-1941

inclusive of D21 fires and 176,704 acres burned. This rvas between Oregon's great Tillamook fire disaster and the rvar. Nationally there were 200,799 fires in 1947 and 172,278 in 1946 rvhile the 2O,691,393 acres burned in 1946 jumped to 23,225,932 in 1947 and dollar damage jumped from $32,694,113 to $55,207,646 in 7947.

Hagenstein said the $3,696,767 forest fire expenditure by industry did not include another half million dollars paid by land owners as assessments to private fire protective associations, nor funds paid to the states for protection of private lands. In addition the forest products industry of Oregon and Washington spent large sums in endless forestry activities, such as permanent systems of forest protection roads, permanent fire detection and suppression facilities, modernization of communication for fire protection including radio, fire hazard reduction studies and re{orestation. He said that 30.3 per cent of forest fires in 7947 in the trvo-states were caused by the forest-using public, 29.2 per cent by lightning and only 4.7 per cent originated in logging operations.

'llt is an axiom in forestry in the Douglas fir region that 75 per cent o{ the reforestation job is in keeping fires out of recently harvested land," Hagenstein said. "This big job of industry-state cooperation is being done well in Washington and Oregon far better than the rest of the nation as the figures demonstrate. The overwhelming need here, as elsewhere, is for wider response of the forestusing public, including farmers. and sportsmen, to the appeal of 'Keep Oregon and Washington Green'."

Phil Bailey To Meet \fith Dcalers

Philip Bailey, president of the West Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle ,is spending the better part of this month meeting with lumber dealers in the Northern California area.

Group meetings, at rvhich Mr. Bailey will outline the company's new sales promotion plans and dealer helps, have already been scheduled in Oakland, Stockton, Fresno and San Jose-according to Holmes Pooser, factory representative, who is accompanying Mr. Bailey.

"It is gratifying to note the large increase in interest by the lumber dealers in recommending our pre-stained Red Cedar shingles and shakes for California homes," said Mr. Bailey. "ft is our belief that a large contributing factor to that end has been our policy of selling only through established retail lumber dealer outlets," continued Mr. Bailey.

The West Coast Stained Shingle Cornpany, largest manufacturer of pre-stained shingles and shakes in the United States, distributes its products through the California Builders Supply Co., in Northern California, and Simpson Industries, Inc., in the Southern California area.

Don't Be Too Sure

I didn't know him, never saw him before, he hung on a strap in a streetcar and swayed and bumped, and underneath my breath I called him a "louse."

A truck careened around a corner, almost handed me a ticket for "over there," straightened out prec4riously and rumbled on down the street, and I called him a "so and so."

A waitress took an order, scarcely heard a word said to her, and brought back a conglomeration of items unordered, and was repofted at the desk.

Lissen . . the guy swaying on the strap had just heard that his wife had cancer; the truckdriver was running from the news that his only son had died; the waitress, with a wide-eyed, growing, wanting daqghter, resented life and the pittances in tips.

Don't be too sure ! Look deep into their eyes before you label them.-Call Workman.

Too Technic<rl

John Doe, traveling salesman, was reading a letter from his wife.

"This is what I get for marrying a school teacher," he told his friend. "Listen to this: 'Dear John: I potice that you have addressed me as 'dearest Lucy.' Now, either your grammar is bad, or else you are not a good husband. If I am the only Lucy you have, the 'Dearest' is not correct. And if you have more than one Lucy, you've got something to explain when you get home'."

She Wcrnted To Know

It was a pretty shoddy-looking shirt, but it was the best he could find at the time, so Jones bought it. Inside the garment he found a slip of paper on which was written a girl's name and address and the message: "please write and send me your photo."

He did, and got the following note from the girl: "Thanks for the photo. I have been making these crummy-looking shirts for a long time, and I just had to see what kind of looking guy would wear one of them."

Secrweed

Quote was first mate on a boat. Which carried a beauty of note. It was love at first sight, Then they quarreled-her right Clipped his chin: he fell over: end Quote.

Insurance?

A dear old grandmother always seemed to bow slightly in church when the name of Satan was mentioned. Asked why, she explained: "Well, politeness costs nothing-and you never know, do You?"

His Trouble

The boy stood on the burning dedk, Whence all but him had fled, He looked around, said "What the heck The whole crew must be dead." But modern magazines now give The ad man's diagnosis, The crew just couldn't stand the boyThe kid had halitosis.

Is *13" Unlucky?

FIow can we account foi the absurd superstition that "13" is an unlucky number? We do not know who is responsible for this belief, yet most hotels omit 13 in the numbering of their rooms and floors. No. 13 is generally hard to sell to anyone, in any thing. Who among us does not know people who will not sit at a table or in a crowd that numbers 13?

Yet, consider these reasons why every American should believe 13 to be a lucky, rather than an unlucky number: 13 is written all over our country. First, there were 13 colonies; the first flag had 13 stars and stripes; revolutionary, which describes our war for freedom, has 13 letters; so has E Pluribus lJnum, and American Eagle, our motto and our emblem. Now take the quarter of a dollar. There are 13 stars over the head of liberty, 13 leaves in the olive branch held by the Eagle, and 13 letters spell quarterdollar. Commodore Perry's great naval victory was won on September l3th; John Paul Jones has 13 letters in his name; he was 13 years old when he came to America, and he carried the flag with 13 stars to victory. The first feet of the American government consisted of 13 vessels.

His Complcint

A drunk staggered out of a bar onto the sidewalk, just in time to see a dainty, aloof, lovely-looking woman sweep proudly by, her head erect, her eyes forward. Not even a glance in his direction. He watched her go, then staggered back to the bar and ordered another drink. "That's what makes a drunkard of me," he mumbled to the bartender. "Women won't let me alone."

Edwin Mcrkhqm Wrote:

I dare not ask your very all, I only ask a part, Bring ms-\,vfrgn the dancers leave the hallYour aching heart.

Give other friends your lighted face, The laughter of the years, f come to crave a greater graceBring me your tears.

Formica Co. Will Protect Its Valuable Trade Mark

"A valuable name is worth protecting," says The Formica Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, in a booklet recently issued' "We are paying the penalty of leadership in the laminated plastic industry. Because our name is so well known it is in danger of becoming generic. Many people refer to any laminated plastic as 'Formica.' In some cases sales people have deliberately misrepresented an inferior product as Formica. Usually a statement from our company concerning the proper use of our trade marks is enough to secure cooperation from anyone referring to our products. However, if anyone persists in misrepresenting our property we can resort to legal action."

Formica is sold wholesale in Northern California by Harbor Plywood Corporation of Northern California, 540 10th Street. San Francisco 3, and in Southern California by California Panel & Veneer Co., 955 South Alameda Street, Los Angeles 54.

Payment of overtime for fractional parts of an hour worked by an employee, is required under a recent WageHour Division ruling. Formerly the Division, for enforcement purposes, let overtime pay be computed to the nearest quarter of an hour if (1) it was administratively convenient and (2) did not result in financial loss or inecluity to the employee. Norv, however, in effect an employer must record and pay overtime for even a few minutes over an even hour of overtime. However, employees who punch in early and punch out a few minutes late, for their o'lvn convenience and without engaging in work during those periods, are not entitled to overtime pay for these periods. Many employers permit employees to puncl-r in a few minutes before shift time and to punch out a few minutes after shift time. In such case, the employer can disregard the extra time shown on employees' time cards and only pay employees for work done during the actual shift.
