How Lumber Looks

Operations of the lumber industry held a fast pace in the week ended September 30, the Naiional Lumberl Manufacturers Association lrqports, with orders and shipments passing levels reached in the like 1938 and 1937 weeks and approaching the levels of the like week in I9D. Productio_n exceeded a year ago and nearly reached 1937.

_ Lumber orders reported for the week ended September 23 bV a2l softwood mills totaled 349,599,000 feet; shipments were 248,750,000 feet; and production was 234,131,000 feet. Reports from 101 hardwood mills for the same week gave new business as 18,056,000 feet; shipments 13,437,000 feet; and production 9,330,000 feet.

_ Seattle, .Wash., October 9.-The weekly average of West !^o1st lumber production in September (4 weeksi was 132,584.000 feet, or 67.3 per cent of the weekly average for 1926- W9, the industry's years of highest capacity- realization. Orders averaged 168,111,000 feet ; shipments, 144,762,000 feet. Weekly averages for August were: production, 133,818,000 feeti orders] 154,331,001 feet; shipments, 155,130,000 feet.

First 39 weeks of 1939, cumulative production, 4,732,839,000 feet; same period, 1938, 3,777,988,000 feet; 1937,5,181,240,000 feet.

Orders for 39 weeks of. 7939 break down as follows: rail, 2,170,959,000 feet; domestic cargo, 1,968,879,000 feet; export, 313,404,000 feet; local, 756,304]060'feet.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 569,584,000 feet at the end of September; gross stocks, at 843,000,000 feet.

The effect of the European war on West Coast lumber trade is a secondary influence in its September improvement, West Coast Lumbermen's Association studies indiiate. Previous issues of "Monthly Lumber Facts" show a gradual but strong summer upswing, with the industry holding a good position at the first of September. Retail yard inventories remained low during the period. In all markets for West Coast lumber, there was general unwillingness to purchase for other than immediate sight demand. Railroad and industrial buying drifted on a low level. Export business showed some increase, u'ith orders derived from the British defense program exceeding the capacity of Canadian mills, and West 9oast receiving the overflow. The fall farm trade was prom- ising. The sustained rate of U. S. home building indicated that this main outlet for West Coast lumber would stay open for a considerable period.

This picture has not been greatly changed by the European w?r. On the positive side of war efiects, the program of railroad improvement and car building will evidently draw upon lumber for the next several months. Rising crop prices heighten the promise of farm building. A rulh of retail yards to build up stocks fortified the normal September rise in orders. Industrial buying has been stimulated.

On the negative side, war risks and uncertainties are a' cloud on what lies beyond the current climb. At present, shipping is restricted and rates from the West Coast to England increased from 60 to 100 shillings per thousand feet. Prepayment is required in U. S. dollars. With Baltic lumber supply shut off, the British government has begun to allocate ships for North Pacific lumber trade. But the future of West Coast exports to England and that of Canadian exports to the U. S. are yet unpredictable.

The West Coast lumber industry is not gambling on the uncertainties of war and is not charting its course by war-boom prospects. In maintaining its market position, the industry is relying on the everyday factors of its steady improvement throughout the summer and early fall of this year.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended September 30, 116 mills reporting, gave orders as 101,459,000 feet; shipments 88,569,000 feet; and production 83,979,000 feet. Orders were 20.8 per cent above production and 14.5 per cent above shipments. Shipments were 5.4 per cent above production. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 340,104,000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended September 30, 119 mills reporting, gave orders as 44,168,000 feet; shipments 42.928,000 feet; and production 29,748,000 feet. Orders were 48.47 per cent above production and,2.89 per cent above shipments. Shipments were 44.31 per cent above production. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 120,215,000 feet.

Demand for Redwood in the last 45 days has been exceptionally brisk, particularly in the East and Middle West. There have been price advances in the East on certain items and one slight advance in the West, but not comparable to advances in other species.

Lumber receipts at Los Angeles harbor for the month of September were 96,883,000 feet, more than 5,000,000 feet over September, 1938.

The two-day tie-up of 10 coastwise lumber steamers at Los Angeles Harbor ended October 11 when union firemen returned to work. No strike was called, the individual members quitting their jobs because their agreement with the employers which expired September 30 had not been renewed. Negotiations between the firemen and the employers were resumed in San Francisco on October 11. Firemen crews left the coastwise lumber fleet at Los Angeles Harbor only.

Economists agree ttrat if we were forced into the Euro_ pean war, what with our present mountainous public debt, we would soon be turning out printing press money. personally f prefer the San F'rancisco brand of money instead. You lay down a ten dollar bill in San Francisco to pay for a four bit purchasg and you get back nine big, round, heavy silver dollars and a big.silver hatf dollar in change. Every time. Not just sometimes. I've never found anyone who knew why. r The best guess is that the stufi is so heavy you will try and spend it as soon as possible, thus speeding up the cash circulation.

ri**

The way they like their money in San Francisco is well told in the following rhyme:

"Oh, give me a big silver dollar, To throrr on the bar with a bang, A dollar that's creasedWill do for the EastBut we want our money to clang.r'

As between Stalin and Hitler (that's like choosing be_ tween a pestilence and a famine), I'll take Stalin. Why? He keeps his mouth shut. Someone counted and found that in a recent statement to Poland Hitler used the personal

pronoun "I" 87 times. Caesar wrote a whole volume of books about his wars and never used that word once.

The world has a lot of modern Caesars who might well take a lesson from Julius.

Mr. patterson remarks: "America,s patt in the world today IS TO SHOW THAT A MAN CAN LIVE IN PEACE."

A friend writes in for some facts and figures on ..the future of the lumber industry.', Now, THERE,S a simple request ! I don't believe I could be hired to attempt to thoroughly discuss that subject. It,s too big an assignment for me, and f have learned by bitter experience that the power of prophecy was not given me. f could ofrer a few scattering remarks on the subject, but I doubt if you could call it "facts and figures." I used to think that the day would come when there would be no more cornrnercial lumber industry in this country, because it appeared that the forests would be no more. On that particular point I have been delighted to revise my opinions. We will always have plenty of commercial lumber in this country. probably as much as the nation requires.

:F*{<

My original opinion was a natural one. When I was a kid the great White Pine (Pinus Stobus) forests of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota were freely studded with sawmills converting them into lumber, and that territory was the wodd's lumber center. Those mighty forests

melted before the saw and ax with astonishing rapidity, and there was no re-growth, and so far as I know there is none NOW in those states. The lumber business swung South and West. And in those new localities no more effort or thought was given to replacing the falling trees than there had been in the l-ake States. There seemed no reason to doubt that eventually the Sotrth and West would end up like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota-denuded lands.

But a change came. ,, "":" lo gr"a,r"tty (and nothing is so definite and so irresistible as the gradual) that I almost missed its advent, even though all my days have been spent watching lumber and its adventures. In the old days it was conunon practice to remark that individuals could not practically re-grow commercial forests-it took too long and would bankrupt anyone who attempted it. There was here and there a voice crying in the wilderness that it COULD be done; but such voices got little heed.

our old ideas on .n" ,lo:]..1r ,"tor.r,ation were correct in their way. If you cut down a forest completely, giving no thought to anything but getting out all the logs as quickly and economically as possible, and forgetting future forests completely, it WILL take so long to re-grow a new forest there that no one could afford it. But there crept into the consciousness of timber owners a new idea-a wise and practical thought. They call it "selective logging." Selective logging simply means that you do NOT chop down the entire forest and forget the land it grew on. Instead you go carefully into that forest and mark for cutting the older and larger trees, leaving the younger and immature trees down to a certain size, to keep on growing. You must necessarily r*v.iss;perhaps entirely chang+your logging methods and equipment, so that you can get out the marked timber without damaging the young future forests.

Next, and equally ,rr*:";, jo,. -rr. now protect that land from fire. And, with the older trees removed the remaining timber growth will be greatly accelerated. You will find with many species of commercial woods you can almost stand there and watch those young trees grow. Many people practicing selective logging in various parts of the country, who have taken the trouble to caliper and measure certain acres of the young trees, have been surprised beyond ur€asure at the rapidity of young tree growth. This varies a great deal as to species and location, but is true in a certain degree of a very large portion of the commercial forests of the country.

We know now for certain that we will always have a generous supply of Yellow Pine (Short Leaf Yellow Pine is the fastest growing of all commercial woods), Douglas Fir, White Fir, Ponderosa Pine, California Redwood, and some of the fast-growing hardwoods. I do not claim this list to be complete. I am just talking from what I know. Probably other Western woods will be perpetuated commercially. I will appreciate advice on the.subject for future discussions of this sort. In the Inland Empire where there are still great stands of White Pine, forests may be perpetuated in comrnercial guantities. f am not in a position to state. All Government timber is logged and cut with the idea of using up mature timber, and letting young timber grow, so that all National forests may be preserved and perpetuated.

The future of the l"-b; r*"*rrt Well, r have atready drawn the definite conclusion that we will always have a generous supply of a variety of commercial lumber from many parts of the country. I will hazard, just one more prediction. The history of the lumber industry for the thirty years f have been watching it, has been a history of heartaches. Continual ups and downs with at least five DOWN years for every LfP year. I hazard the guess that the next thirty years will bring to the followers of the lumber industry more consistent and dependable prosperity than has the last thirty. It may be the irony of fate that the second crop of commercial timber will bring to its owners more profit than the big, original forests which, in the beginning looked like they would bring a harvest of gold. But, as the parlance of the street has it-"Life's like that."

credit Bert Bryan, r, :;.:, with a novel and original idea. As a rule the vacation season in the lumber business in California spreads itself over the entire sutnmer, disrupting and interfering with the smooth progress o'f business to some extent. At the recent annual convention of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association at San Francisco, Mr. Bryan made a suggestion that henceforth the first two weeks in July be set aside for vacation time, that all salesmen take their vacations then, and the warehouse forces be split, hatf the first week and half the second week. The suggestion was so well received that it was incorporated into a resolution, and unanimously adopted. It is an idea that the lumber industry generally might well adopt. Let there be one official "fat" spot in the summer, and that at a lonr tide period, and the rest of the summer the industry be on the job.

BILL BELL FLIES TO CALIFORNIA

Managing-Director Bill Bell of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, flew down to the San Francisco Bay area the last rveek in September and then hopped back to Seattle again.

The California jaunt was practically a rebound after Bill landed in Seattle after a two week's absence during which time he flew from Seattle to Chicago, Minneapolis, other Midwest points and then to Salt I-ake City and from there up into Montana to attend the annual conference of the Montana Retail Lumbermen's Association.

Joining President Earl E. LeValley of the Western association in Nfontana, he continued down into Pocatello, Twin Falls and Boise, Idaho for a series of district conferences, with a couple of more at Lewiston, Idaho, and Spokane, Washington, to finish up on.

Mr. Bell says that things look good. A few people are going to be scared out of building a home now on account of the war, but just as many are going to get new determination to build now while prices and financing are extremely favorable.

she noticed that he wo're no decorations of any kind. She addressed him in her very kindly way.

"Horv does it happen," she wanted to know, "that you wear no decorations of any kind while all the others do. Surely you have some?"

"Yes, Maam," he replied. "I got some. But I only wear them on special occasions."

"Friend Making In Salesmanship"

By Jack Dionne

Thct lhe crt of mcldng friends is one oI the big things in modern sslesurcnship, hcg come to be universclly crccepted crs the truth. Thctt the crbility to mcrke lriends IS in lcrct qn qrt, ccnnot well be doubted. It is both crn cnt cmd cr science.

The cbility to mcke lriends in your business aflairs doesn't "iust hcrppen " Like cny other good cmd uselul thing irr this world, it is the result of intelligent eflort.

The urcking of lriends is simply crpplyrng the science ol sclesurcrnship to your own person- clity. You use the sme mctuler qnd mecns thcrt you use in selling your physiccl cmrmodities, but you "sell yoursell" instecrd oI the goo&. Hcving "gold" the nqn on yoursell, he is much ecsier to sell with your business proposition"

You go right bcclc to the lundconentals of selling, ol cdvertising, oI letter writing, of cny scientific sales effort. Your cdn is to attract the ATTENTION oI your prospect to YOIIRSELF; you cqn use your ingenuity to then qrecrte an II{IEREST on his pcrrt in YOIIBSELF; you hold thct interest while you "put yourseU overi'with the prospect you end by convincing him all this ii-e without his knowing thct you cre prccticing cr delinite selling ccnnptrigm on him-ol your friendly vqlue. You have then "sold" yoursell, and hcve mcde cr lriend.

The mqn who hqs cr thousqnd lriends, hcrs c thouscmd prospects whom he should be crble to sell his goods to more recdily thcn to others. He hss cr thouscmd prospects to whom he should be cble to sell his commodities with grecrter ecse cnd lccility thcnr his ccnpetitor who is not on the "lriend" list.

The science of friend mcking is one of the most clluring cnd crttrcrctive efforts of the human mentclity. The mcnr who hies it intelligently, linds it cr perlectly wonderlul study, cmd in neeting his problems in this direclion" he unconsciously crnd cutomcticclly builds himsell up cs c lriend ncker. It is tr power cnd hcrbit thtrt grrows with e:cperience, iust cs the rolling snowball gcthers size and nomentum.

DEALERS TO SECURE I I

DESIRABTE FARM COl{TRACTS!

Dealers who depend on farm construction for revenue are finding in the 4-sQUARr Farm Building service ao effective tool for closing profitable lumber sales. This service includes 2oo model designs for fatm buildings and farm equipment. A broad selection of various types of strnctures suited to the needs of nearly every farm is ptovided. Skilled agricultural engioeers planned all these units, giving them practical features of convenience, economy and structural soundness which every farmer wants. At the same time each building is engioeered to reduce building costs to a minimum.

4-SQUARE lumber dealers are provided with a book containing all these excellent farm building designs. complete material lists accompany each design-enabling the dealer to quickly figure accurate material costs.

A study of these 2oo plans will show how engineers took full advantage of the use of standard lumber lenghs-thus eliminating much cutting, trimming and fitting on the job. On many of these buildings as much as 70/6 of the 4-SQUARE lumber used goes right ioto place without being touched by a saw. This reduces buildiog costs, speeds up jobs and promotes sound con. struction. Sfith this effective sales material readily available in the office of the 4-SQUARE lumber dealer, desirable farm business is attracted and steady repeat customers are developed. If you are a 4-SQUARE dealer and are not alterdy using the 4-SQUARE Farm Building service, we shall be glad to forward it to you upon request.

SAID:

In this and like communities, public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions.

ALL THINGS SHALL PASS

The men whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about t'heir business with a smile on their faces, and took the cha$f,es and chances of this life like men facing rough and smil&h as it came, and so found the truth of the old proverb: "Good times and bad times and all times pass evsl'."-Q.

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS

To know every detail, to gain an insight into each secret, to learn wery method, to secure every kind of skill, are the prime necessities in every art, craft or business. No time is too long, no study too hard, no discipline too severe for the attainment of complete familiarity with one's work and complete ease and skill in the art of doing it. As a man values his working life, he must be willing to pay the highest price of success in it-the price which severe training exacts.-Hamilton Wright Mabie.

PEACE IN HEART

When your heart cries out in its dire distress For the peace that has winged away, Do you ttrink your sorrow will grow the tress IJ watered by tears each day?

One solace God sends for that haunting pain. Of this heart's ease would you partake? Then work, garner in the sheaves of your brain, And your heart will forget to ache.

BUILD FOR POSTERITY

Therefore, when we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight, nor for presert use alone. Let it,be such work as our descendents will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone that a time is to come when those stones will be lield sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say :,,as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See, this our fathers did for us."-John Ruskin.

Hoo-Hoo Concatenation to be Held at Oakland October 26

A mammoth Hoo-Hoo Concatenation is planned to be held at the Hotel Oakland, Oakland, Calif., Thursday evening, October 26, 1939, in connection with the annual convention of California retail lumbermen, which gets under way on that date and place for a three-day session.

This will be the first initiation ceremony held by fnternational Hoo-Hoo in California for some years, and a large class of applications for admission will be present-the initiation fee is $7.99, which includes dues for

one year. All former members are urged to reinstate. This can be done at the initiation meeting-cost $2.99.

fn announcing the Concatenation, B. E. Bryan, Vicegerent Snark for Northern California and Nevada, says:

"Reorganized International Hoo-Hoo is holding an uppermost place in the thoughts of all lumbermen at the present time, and has had a prominent position at all recent lumber conventions in the East.

"For the first time in the history of Ihternational Hoo-Hoo a Pacific Coast lumberman, Mr. Frank Trower of Oakland, Calif., wears the Nine Pointed Star, signifying his elevation to the exalted office of Seer of The ,Ifouse of Ancients. This signal honor, coupled with the splendid work of reorganization which has been accomplished, indicates an unprecedented interest in International Hoo-Tfoo on the Pacific Coast.

"All former members of International Hoo-Hoo are invited and urged to be present at this first initiation meeting and to bring at least one "kitten" with his application for membership."

Campaign to Stimulate Home Building in East B.y Area Gets Good Start

Rallying under the slogan, "What helps builditg helps YOIJ," more than fifty concerns identified with home building in metropolitan Oakland have organized a pr'omotional campaign directed to stimulate home building in that market. Activities are under the supervision of the Better Housing Bureau, a committee representing the various building industries, and work is being carried on in close cooperation with the Federal Housing Administration. The present membership of the Committee includes D. N. Edwards, chairman, representing the lumber yards; George Windsor and Al Gould, builders; T. C. Winstead, representing building materials dealers, and James Quinn, president of Alameda County Building Trades Cou.ncil. Additional appointments are expected shortly, enlarging the scope of the committee to include representatives from other building industries.

The Federal Housing Administration recently appointed D. N. Edwards as its local coordinator for the East Bay

territory. Viewing the building qituation, it was found that home building in that area had lagged in comparison with activities elsewhere, and that occupancy had reached the extreme high point of. 981 percent. Putting these two factors together, it was agreed that real activity was in order and that the field was ripe to stimulate home buildirrg.

Under the direction of the Better Housing Bureau, its advertising agency made a study of the reasons why more people had not been building and results of a large number of personal interviews indicated twq main reasons flor such inactivity. First, in spite of the large amount of publicity given to the new, low F.H.A. terms, most people still do ,not believe they could afford to build. And second, many of those who were interested did not know where to go to investigate the matter. It seemed obvious, therefore, that the task was two-fold: first, to educate the public that, under present F.H.A. terms, most renters can aftord to become owners. And second, to make it easy for the public to get started towards home building.

Because of the set-up of the building industry, the agency found that practically every concern within the industry was interested in selling parts-such as lumber, building

Two Athletes Came Up From The South

Bv C C. Crow

Reprinted from Crow's Pocific Coost Lumber Digest

This weird account of an incident in the peregrination of two of California's most outstanding lumbermen stands upon the sound foundation that even a business man gets tired and must have a letdown from the daily grind of keeping the wheels of commerce moving.

Now down in l,os Angeles there are two gentlemen who for the past ten years have always been found in the front ranks of every battle which the lumber industry has had to fight to retain its place in the picture. These capable warriors are George Lounsberry, of the firm of I-ounsberry & Harris which has been in the retail business there since 1905, and Kenneth Smith the popular Secretary-Manager of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute in the same city for the past eleven years.

George, whose head of grey hair has earned him the nickname of "Old Silver Top," has held every office in the L. A. P. I. from president on down, this year being treasurer and of even greater importance Chairman of the Industrial Relations Committee. It was on this nerve wracking work that he and Kenneth Smith spent many weeks toiling day and night in connection with the recent labor trouble which had the movement of lumber in the I.os Angeles district at a standstill for a long period.

Be that as it may, George and Ken needed a rest after the trouble was settled so they climbed into George's car and started for the Northwest.

So it happened that one day, when the editor of Crow's Pacific Coast Lumber Digest was busily engaged in the arduous task of keeping up the standard of the world's fountain of lumber market and production information, the telephone rang and Tom Dant of the pioneer firmrof Dant & Russell announced that Mr. George I ounsberry and Mr. Ken Smith were in town and he had invited them to a game of golf that afternoon at Waverly Country Club and would ye editor join the foursome.

Now ye editor, having unsuspectingly had his horns sawed off once by a Californian named Jack Dionne in a similar surprise, was a bit wary but was assured by Tom that the two visitors were subnormal golfers and accepted the invitation.

Finally we reach the real meat of the story. The two Californians dressed a snappy game. Each carried a classy leather bag of latest design so filled with clubs that the greens keeper forced their double caddy to wear snow shoes so as to keep from leaving deep tracks in the fairways.

Now ye editor, as is true of all editors, is a modest person

and it was with some embarrassment that he shot the first ball and suffered the humiliation of seeing it take a graceful curve to the right and land far beyond the confines of the property on which the game was being played. Next followed Tom Dant, whose towering frame and well developed muscles brought forth only a puny hook which sought cover in lush rough where it remains to this day. Ken Smith with a menacing determination perched his new ball upon a lovely colored tee and, squinting eyes looking far down the fairway as if selecting a place where his shot would land, made a mighty lunge with all of his 220 pounds and the ball limped off twelve feet from where it had rested, like the pretended flight of a tame rabbit. Next into the arena alongside the prostrate form of his brother gladiator stepped Old Silver Top, whose mop of white hair was extenuating evidence to justify his short backswing and he emerged with considerable glory for his ball, the only one of the four resting in the fairway, was a full fifty yards from the starting point. The total distance of the first four drives measured exactly eighty-seven yards and from there on each man went about his work grimly. The final approaches to the first green found each of the four coming from a different quarter on the compass.

At the end of the first nine it was clear that this was no ordinary job of accounting so Tom Dant went into the office and borrowed an adding machine and got a boy to push it along on a wheel barrow.

On the seventeenth Ken's ball landed in a trap. After a whispered conversation with his caddy and the assumption of a very professional air he drew back and took a huslcy smack only to find himself standing in a deluge of sand. Suddenly it dawned upon him that he could not see the ball whereupon he lost no time in clamping his hands over his head and the sphere again landed in the trap about four feet directly behind him.

The game started at 1:30 P. M. At 5:45 the weary quartet approached the 18th green and the adding machine operator announced the appalling totals. Mount Hood's snow covered peak was blushing pink at the sun's goodnight kiss as the foursome silently. tnudged into the clubhouse. Around the corner one of the caddies was heard to say to the other: "Are do's two guys from Hollywood?" "Sure dey are, don't you rekinize dem fellers?" "Dat big fat mug wid de brown pants and de steam caliope laugh is Man Mountain Dean and de udder old guy wid the grey hair is George M. Cohan." To which the boy responded, "Gee, f'hope dey is better rasselers and acters dan dey is golf players."

Campaign to Stimulatc Homa Building in East Bay Area Getg Good Start

materials, paint, hardware, roofing and numerous other products-while the customer is interested in buying the finished product-the home. Therefore the task of stimulating home ownership was recognized as the logical job for the entire building industry-not for any single concern. The Better Housing Bureau has thus been established to represent the interests and welfare of the entire building industry.

To start the job of educating the public to the fact that most families can afford to own their own home, the Better Housing Bureau selected {he Sunday Development Section of a local newspaper as its first advertising medium. Cooperation from this paper has been liberally offered. Advertising consists of a series of straightforward messages showing conclusively that home ownership is within the financial reach of most East Bay families. Each advertisement is signed by the Better Housing Bureau and the public is invited to call or write for additional information.

Response to this invitation has been splendid. Scores of letters have bee,n received from persons interested in building and wishing preliminary guidance. To care for such inquiries, the committee has set up a centrally located office in dorvntown Oakland, where persons can inspect specimen floor plans and elevations of locally-built homes, can obtain literature to help them decide the type of home they wish and can discuss their problems with capable, interested persons without fear that they are obligating themselves.

In service to the building industries the job of the Bureau is threefold. It must qualify inquiries, eliminating worthless "leads" that will result in nothing but wasted time. It must answer preliminary questions. And it must start the prospect on the way to home buildings, buying or modernizing.

In addition to the Federal Housing Administration, splendid cooperation has been secured from manufacturers, associations and other factors concerned with the stimulating of building in the East Bay area. It is hoped that the successful development of this program will serve as .a pattern for similar activities in other territories. Individuals or groups interested in this activity are invited to write to.the Better Housing Bureau, 1924 Brcadway, Oakland, for further information.

MARIS PTYWOOD GORPORATION

Modern "Wich Stand" at Los Angeles

Not so long ago they resembled everything from a steamheated igloo to a glorified doghouse. Writing about modern Wayside Inns and roadside "restaurants," a noted writer who has probably traveled m,ore in his imagination than his car, in recent years said that "Americans have a genius ['or constructing highway shacks and monstrosities which is exceeded only by their mania for giving them

names such as Stumble Inn and the Hick Up."

But such caustic comment would have been more justi' fied in the late '20's and the early '30's than it is today. Slowly but definitely the national campaign for roadside beautification, with emphasis on the elimination of "shacks and monstrosities," has been bearing fruit. Retail lumber dealers, under the professional guidance of architects and

with the sort of cooperation from contractors that made for enduring progress, have done a fine job in creating designs and methods of construction which enable the owners of drive-in stands and other places of business By the Way to have unique quarters-like the California "Wich Stand" pictured here-and still have something architecturally sound and attractive.

It is worthy of comment that, due to its unique versatility, wood is coming more and more back into the picture as the material par excellence in this rapidly expanding campaign for beautification and rehabilitation along the routes where the World and His Wift roll by.

In Southern California the construction of novel and convenient stands, particularly of the drive-in variety, is an industry of no small pr,oportions. The Los Angeles DriveIn Wich Stand pictured here, with its very pleasing appearance and its "handy roundl design, enabling service to capacity crowds without inconvenience, is not only a vast improvement over the various types of stands built several years ago; it is a 1939 answer to the widespread demand for more artistry and less artificiality.

The outer rafters are tapered so as to provide an appear' ance of trimness at the ouside of the completed building. The cove consists of band-sawed pieces and the remainder is typical construction-that is, with commercial boards and dimension. All framing is of Pacific Northwest Douglas fir. The vertical sign at the top of the building is both wood ancl metal. There is, indeed, a witchery about this ultra-modern stand that is not all found in sandWlCHes.

H. B. HEWES BACK FROM EUROPE

H. B. Ilewes, nationally known lumberman of Jeanerette, La., and San Francisco, recently arrived in San Francisco after having spent the last several months in Europe.

Mr. Hewes motored a distance of more than 5,000 miles in France, I'taly, Germany, Holland and England in company with his son, Clarence B. Hewes, who has been for many years in various European countries in the United States diplomatic service. They were in Germany when that country invaded Poland and just got across the frontier the day it was closed.

The Atlantic crossing was made by Mr. Hewes in a British ship at the time when many ships were being torpedoed.

"Old Timers" Celebration at Fort Bragg ,il

Astonished and, amazed was Paul Bunyan, mythical lumberjack, when his recent visit to the land of Noyo, Chief of the Redwoods, was made the occasion for a three days' "Old Timers" celebration at Fort Bragg, California, home of the Union Lumber Company mills.

Though his own legendary feats have intrigued the lumber industry for over a century, Paul was taken aback at the ease and skill with which modern methods and machinery reshaped the giant redwoods into uniformly milled lumber.

Greeted on arrival by Chief Noyo, guardian spirit of Noyo quality and service and by three generations of the

Johnson family, which founded and has operated the Union Lumber Company for 60 years, Paul Bunyan quickly made himself at home by participating in all the ancient and honorable feuds of the traditional lumber camp.

Contests of skill and prowess included a chopping contest and hewing, tie-splitting, wire-splicing and tree-felling demonstrations. An ax-throwing contest was staged in which regulation double-bit woodsman's axes were used, and a greased pole walking exhibition took place in Pudding Creek. Paul Bunyan himself successfully defended the crown in the log bucking contest.

A rodeo, baseball, tug-of-war and water fight were other

features of the three-day entertainment. Of special interest to visitors was a parade of logging equipment demonstrating powerful caterpillar tractors and huge logging trucks which the Union Lumber Company uses to handle the immense redwood logs.

During the celebration the men wore logging outfits and displayed beards which they had grown for the occasion and the women at Fort Bragg wore clothes of the early frontier days. A novel event which attracted wide interest was the fashion show at which all types of apparel, some as much as 100 years old, were modeled. Inhabitants failing to conform with the ordinance to appear in costume were sentenced by a kangaroo court to a ducking in the horsepond. Over five thousand people attended the celebration.

Balsam-\(/ool Sound Insulation System Announccd

Wood Conversion Company, manufacturers of Balsam-Wool and Nu-Wood, an.nounces a new type of sound deadening for standard methods o f construction. It is called the Balsam-Wool Sound Insulation System.

no movement or creeping is allowed in the horizontal direction while sufficient free action is allowed vertically. Because of this, not only does the system act as an insulator, but gives the floor a resiliency or softness which is highly desirable. Because the sleepers are supported continuously, there is no sagging under heavy furniture or piano loads.

Balsam-Wool Sound Insulation Clips are sold as an individual unit, cartoned in packages sufficient to treat approximately 1,000 square feet of area. Balsam-Wool Sound Insulation is not shipped as part of the unit. It is available 33 inches wid.e, 7/z inch thick-packaged in rolls. Standard Balsam-Woolin I inch and 1 inch thicknesses may be used as a sound deadener with this system'

Section showing complete Bqlsom-Wool

5o""Ji"""f"tio"n Ctipin ploce in stqnd- This s y s tem, the crd wood floor construction. manufacturers state, is easy to apply, economical and efficient. Tests by impartial laboratories report that the Balsam-Wool Sound Insulation System installed over a typical floor construction (rvood sub-floors, joists with metal lath and plaster on underside) results in a sound transmission reduction of 50 decibels.

A11 that is needed for complete installation is BalsamWool, Balsam-Wool Clips and wood strips. The BalsamWool is placed over the area to be insulated-acting as a stop or absorption agent against noise that would ordinarily pass through the wall, floor or ceiling.

Balsam-Wool Clips are then fastened at intervals of 24 inches on the underside of sleepers at right angles. This clip unit consists of a flat piece of spring steel and four nails. Two of these nails hold the spring steel clip to the sleeper, and the other two, cushioned in felt washers, fasten the sleeper to the floor, wall or ceiling. The interior finish is then nailed to the top of the sleepers.

Because of the special design of the Balsam-Wool Clips,

P. A. Ward, general sales manager, in announcing this new system stated, "This new patented system, we feel, opens a new broad market to lumber dealers throughout the country. Because of its simplicity and efifrciency, the system is as well adapted to use in small towns as it is in metropolitan areas for large structures. It does not require expert mechanics and can be installed quickly by following a few simple printed instructions ftrrnished with the units'" Complete information is available from the Wood Conversion Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
