The California Lumber Merchant - October 1941

Tremendous quantities ol lumber are hing employed in this courrhy's &ive for Delens€. The ease with which wood can be worked and erected simplifies and speeds construction- Ald where p€manent conslEuction is called for, Wolmanized Lumber is on the iob.

Already, the total footage of Wolmanized Lumber us€d iu Defense construction is more than thic conlnny's entire output in 1938!

Wolnanized Lurnber offers all of the advantagee of ordinary wood, with this plus-ability to withstand decay and termite attack. It is clean, odorless and paintable.

I,Vobnan SaltE* preservative, driven deep into the cells oI the wood by the vacuum-pressure system of impregnatio& gives Wolnanized Lumber its plus value. "Fibre fixation" prevents washing-out or ls,6ghing.

How Lumber Looks

Seattle, Washington, October 9, 1941-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in September (4 weeks) was 172,255,000 board feet, or 108.1 per cent of estimated capacity. Orders averaged 153,566,000 board feet; shipments, 171,871,W. Weekly averages for August were: production, 187,52,m board f.eet (95.2 per cent of the 1926-D average); orders, 162,799,ffi; shipments, 190,617,000.

39 weeks of. 1941, cumulative production, 6,62,3ffi,M board feet; same period, l9n,-5,D3,288,000; 1939y',732,839,000.

Orders for 39 weeks of. l94l break down as follows: rail, 3,754,331,m board feet; domestic cargo, 1,8@,911,000; export, 163,924,000 ; local, 900,868,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 69,003,000 board feet at the end of September; gross stocks, at 820.,62,m.

While the use of lumber in private construction which does not caffy a defense label is declining because of the effect of priorities on supply of nails, plumbing service equipment and other building metals, the West Coast lumber industry was still working under forced draft in September. This was in response to requests from defense agencies on urgent lumber requirements. Substantial headway was made during September in the production drive to overtake orders.

The requirements of defense continue to be heavy, par.

ticularly for railroad and ship lumber. The real demand for lumber in private non-defense home and farm building appears to be as strong as ever. Families who want to build homes have pay roll money for down payments and farm buying power has taken a strong upturn. The major question in this market is: how far can building materials other than lumber be made available?

Another factor of the September situation of West Coast lumber was the setting up of ceiling prices on Douglas fir, which took effect October 1. Publicity on this undoubtedly beclouded the market and slowed up lumber purchases.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended September 27,97 mills reporting, gave orders as 95,998,000 feet, shipments 97,424,W feet, and production 103,368,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 359,912,000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended October 4, 112 mills reporting, gave orders as D,524,,000 feet, shipments 33,049,000 feet, and production 28,453,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 128,831,m0 feet.

Lumber cargo receipts at Los Angeles Harbor for the week ended October 11 totaled 13,217,W feet as compared with 18,986,000 feet the previous week.

Somebody (we suspect Ray Saberson because Ray is one of those guys who writes interestingly and even romantically about sawdust or sealing-wax) in a recent issue of Weyerhaeuser News, writes eloquently and forcefully about a new romance in wood. Yes sir, he tells the story of the wedding of WOOD and GLUE, and of the marvelous children that have been born, are being born, and will continue to be born still more frequently in the years to come, of that very practical union.

Readers of these "v.g"inJ""ir"a that story thrust upon them almost innumerable times in years gone by. And the interest grows because the story itself has grown by those well known and oft repeated "leaps and bounds"; likewise with incredible continuity. Yes, friends, no more practical wedding ever was solemnized in this workaday world than that of WOOD and GLUE. Not even ham and eggs, .,poke" chops and sweet potatoes, nor apples and piecrust, can take the play away from these two when it comes to real, genuine, double-jointed, copper-riveted, wholesome and practical partnership for the benefit of all concerned. And here is one wedding where there is no possible danger of a divorce; one union that will never go on strike.

rf i( ri

The first great wedding in the lumber industry took place when the first saw met the first log, and s3id-..lsf's cut up for a while, and then start building." And the next greatest one took place when the glue pot met the pile of waste wood and said-"Let's stick around together, and see what we can do for each other."

The "News" well "t"t"" tfrJ t"lu th"t for generations the mill man has always been at the mercy of the log. Then glue came along and set him free. Previously he had always been bound, restricted, and inhibited by the SIZE and the DEFECTS of the log. He could cut the log DOWN to the sizes of lumber it would produce, but was helpless in the

matter of ENLARGING those units made by the sliced log. Today, with glues galore all of perfected character and capability as demonstrated in the practical laboratory, the mill man is able to make the log into a variety of products he never dreamed of before. Yes indeed ! With economical, powerful, quick-setting waterproof glues, he can produce wooden marvels recently unheard-of. And, to use another worn and tattered, but in this case entirely truthful epigr?m, "The surface has not yet been scratched." Scratched? Why, friends, a host of smart men in laboratories and testing rooms, say the possibilities of wood and glue remain a fathomless reservoir of practical prospects.

Because of glue, waste wood becomes steadily a smaller factor throughout the lumber industry. The improvement varies by species and by territory, but is general, nevertheless. Millions-yes billions of pieces of log cuttings that formerly had only one single destination-the burner-now are transformed and transmogrified (let that word alone, Proof Reader) into useful, salable wooden shapes and things. They have been transferred from the "total loss" to the "profit item" page on the industry books. The word "Laminated" has developed into an everyday thing in the lumber industry, while the word "plywood" is as commonly understood as dimension, boards, or flooring. Glue does it.

You can take narrow ul"rl" irrat nU no particular need in that shape and size (they don't even have to be straight or smooth) and glue a whole mess bf them together edge for edge until you create a board four feet wide or more. This glued-up board of great width can be put under breaking pressure and it will break anywhere except at the glued joints. Honest. Then you can rip this great board into any width the trade desires, and fix the cuts up into any shape the most particular user may demand. You can furnish smooth, straight, strong boards twice as wide as the greatest thickness of the l,og the lumber came from. Wide

boards? Shucks! Glue says "the sky's the limit." You not only CAN do these things, but they are being done lots of places, by smart lumber folks who now laugh up their sleeves at the impertinence of the log that used to say to the mill s1311-"f[is wide shall my product be, and no wider."

*!F:fi

You can do the same thing with thickness. You can take a lot of waste, and a lot of glue, and a lot of pressutre, and a little brains and build up any size and sort of timbers you want to. And length, likewise, is the servant of the glue pot and the smart mill man. You can take short dimension and put finger-joints on the ends, slap on the glue, stick them together, and make long dimension as straight as straight can be. Wonders are being done in this fashion. A thousand methods are already in use for gluing-up wood to increase its size, strength, and usefulness. You can make wood as wide, as thick, and as long as you durn pleasewith glue.

***

The possibilities? Absolutely unlimited. There was once a great Frenchman who wanted to accomplish some mighty purpose. His trusted lieutenant said to him-"It is impossible"-whereat the great man rose in his ,wrath and thundered-"Never use that blockhead word in my presence again !" And so the chemist, the test-tube man, and the research man may.well say to the lumber industry-"Nothing is really impossible in the combination of wood and glue." There is a single Pine mill in the West that actually sold and shipped during the past year ONE THOUSAND CARLOADS of valuable wooden products ready for use, every foot of which was made out of wood that until recently was called "waste." Ingenuity and glue did the trick. One certain concern we have heard of is making a grand success and doing a volume business simply prefabricating glued-up rafters. Just rafters, mind you. All over this country there are barns, hangars, garages, churches, and other buildings of various sorts requiring clear wide spans, to which the use of prefabricated, glued-up rafters are admir-

ably adapted for roof supports. The possibilities are monumental. ***

It need hardly be re-stated, the story is so well known, that one of the most successful items of building material on earth today is plywood and panels. Through the use of this one item alone, glue has well nigh rebuilt the building business. Look about you wherever construction is going on, and see the part that plywood ptays. :f*!i

Truly the wedding of wood and glue, with the laboratory man acting as presiding preacher, has done wonders for wood and for the building business. And as time and experiment move on, lthe wonders will increase. No longer do you hear people say in voices sharp with scorn: "That's no good. It isn't solid wood. It's veneered." Those days' like the Dodo bird, the horsehair sofa, the mustache cup, and the bustle, are gone forever. No one scorns veneered or built-up wood anymore. For glued-up wood has gone Park Avenue and don't you doubt it. Adhesions for binding pieces of wood together were known to the ancient Egyptians more than 5,O00 years ago. But in the last generation-in the last decade-more progress has been made with wood and glue than in all the preceding centuries combined.

***

In the days to come the lumber industry is going to turn more and more to the elimination of waste in its search for profits. It will have to. Smallness of size will cease to reflect upon the value of the products of the log. Men will glue small pieces into big ones, and make from them whatever they desire. Reversing the order of the unfortunates in stripes who "make little rocks out of big ones," the lumber folks will make big pieces out of little pieces. No doubt about it. Glue will entirely release the sawmill man from the enslavement of log size. "The bigger they come, the harder they fall," Bob Fitzsimmons used to say. "The smaller the pieces, the stronger the glued-up block," the mill man of the future will say.

Wood, and glue, and brains will do it.

National Retail Lumber Dealers Association Comments on SPAB Policy on Priorities

The Supply Priorities and Allocations Board on October 9 announced a new policy under which no public or private construction projects. which use critical materials juch as steel, copper, brass, btonze, aluminum, etc. may be started during the emergency unless these projects are 6ither necessary for direct national defense or are essential to the health and safety of the people.

_ Commenting on the new policy, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association statei:

- Despite newspaper ,headlines, this statement of policy does not restrict, to the extent indicated in press sloriei, markets open to the retail lumber dealer. The initial presi headlines unfortunately have created the impression- that SPAB is placing a ban on all residential construction and all public or private construction which does not have the specific label of a defense project, or is not essential to the health and safety of the people.

We have conferred with the various housing agencies in Washington and with the office of SPAB in regJrd to the true intent of this release. The release was apparently a "bolt out of the blue" for every one of the housing agencies, including the Defense Housing Coordinator. None of them were aware of its proposed publication, and all are expected to issue statements clarifying their position in resp-ect to the SPAB statement. This has already been done-bv the Housing C-oordinator, and the FHR witt probably hive a statement for release soon.

We believe that the real purpose of the SPAB release is as follows:

(l)_ To prevent the passage of "pork barrel,, legislation now before Congress providing for river and haibor improvements, flood control and power projects, which use a substantial amount of critical materials, particularly structural steel.

bracket houses; that is, houses costing $6,000 and more. The erection of large speculative building projects outside of defense areas which require a substantial amount of critical materials will be discouraged unless the need can be shown.

We have discussed this release with SPAB, and we believe the following in respect to the effects it will have on the markets of the retail lumber dealers:

(1) There is no specific ban on residential construction as such.

(a) Where dealers, builders or contractors have the materials, such construction can go ahead.

(b) Where there is a need for housing in defense or non-defense areas, such housing can go ahead, but priorities will not be granted for it if it uses an appreciable amount of critical materials. Dealers, builders and contractors must elim.inate all the metal possible.

They must substitute materials.

They must fight restrictive building codes.

They must fight for simplified plumbing such as is used in defense housing projects and recommended by the Bureau of Standards.

It is obvious no dealer or builder is going to be able to get priorities in order to do a speculative building job where definite need cannot be shown

(2) There is no ban on the type of private construction such as is engaged in by dealers in farm and rural areas. Farm production buildings, farm residences, and modernization jobs on the farm can go 4head, as it is readily admitted that this type of construction is necessary for the health and safety of the people. When priorities in this market are necessary they will probably be granted, but again the dealer-builder must substitute wherever oossible.

-

(2) . To- discourage the planning, promotion and requests for priorities. in respect to the building of all unnecessary plblic or private projects, such as fagtories, warehousei, office buildings, etc. which use an appreciable amount of the critical materials.

(3) SPAB does not say and does not intend that structures of this type can not go ahead if, for instance, wood trusses can be substituted for steel trusses, wood beams, for steel beams, or other materials can be used in place of critical materials.

(4) The term "residential construction" is thrown into this release (and unfortunately was picked up and featured by the press) because, as we have all known, there is a definite intent to not encourage the construction of higher

(3) There is no ban on rehabilitation and repair activities and programs. The same measuring stick in regard to the use of critical materials will be applied here.

(4) Dealers in metropolitan areas who normally sell to industries and for commercial and industrial construction will definitely suffer under this program unless this construction is clearly shown to be absolutely necessary and unless such constiuction can proceed without the use of a large amount of the critical materials.

Regardless of the real intent of this release on the part of SPAB, the effect of the adverse publicity and the newlpaper headlines will be to curtail drastically all types of construction work and modernization and repair activities. We believe that our associations and individual dealers, through (Continued on Page 30) i

FHA Applications in Southern California First Nine Month s ol 1941 Greater Than Any Preceding 12-Month Period

Southern California District office of the FHA reports greater volume of applications received for the insurance of home mortgages during the first nine months of this year than for any preceding 12-month period since the inception of the FffA program.

Close to n,W mortgages valued at more than l2I million dollars were accepted for approval during the first nine months of 1941 under Titles I, II, and VI, or 28,934 cases for $121,202,245. Of this total 25,806 cases valued at 9106,736,395 called for the construction of new homes under FHA inspection, and 3,128 for $14,465,850 the refinancing of existing liens or purchase-money mortgages on homes already built.

This compares with a total ol '28,047 cases for $117,357,635 for the entire year, 194O, of which 23,533 for 997,O41,935 specified new construction under FHA inspection.

The month of September brought in a total of. 2,7M applications for the insurance of mortgages valued at $1 1,377,800, of which 2,?68 f.or $9,385950 involved new home construction. While this is a decline in monthly volume from that of the past four months it represents, however, an increase of. 5l per cent in number and 8 per cent in dollar volume over September, 194O, which recorded 2561 applications for insurance of mortgages valued at $10,534,700. Of this number and amount, 2,178 f.or $8,824,200 represented new construction mortgages. The month of August, 1941, recorded a total of 3,065 applications valued at $13,432,150.

The foregoing figures do not include those loans for the repair and modernization of properties nor for the construction of non-residential structures which are reported direct to FHA headquarters in Washington by the lending institutions, and which have numbered over 230,m0 and amounted to over 100 million dollars since 1934 in this district.

"At the present time much emphasis is being placed on the repair and modernization of old residential properties," said Mr. Bingham, "particularly where they accommodate more than one family, or can be revamped into multi-family structures."

"Immediate relief in the housing shortage situation in defense areas can more quickly be effected through alteration of old dwellings, and at less expense than construction of entirely new dwellings," he said. "To encourage this type of cooperation in the present emergency l'HA's facilities have been increased through the extension of the loan period from three to five years on this type of loan, increase in the maximum amount of insurable loans ftom $2,500 to $5,000, and reduction in the maximum permissible charge a lending institution may make, if the FHA is to insure the loan, from $5.00 discount rate for each $100 to $4.00."

National Forest Timber'Business is Good Veteran Sports Editor Will Talk to

San Francisco, September 3G-Fiscal Year 1941 was the best for national forest timber sales since 1931, Regional Forester S. B. Show has reported to the Department of Agriculture.

Value of the 339,857 thousand board feet of commercial timber cut was $689,900, or slightly in excess of $2 per thousand.

In addition, the 18 national forests of the California Region yielded $16,314 in miscellaneous forest products, mostly from Christmas trees cut in thinning operations.

The number of Forest Service timber sales to commercial operators in the Region during the' fiscal year was 1656.

"This volume of business," said Regional Forester S. B. Show, "is due largely to the industrial expansion program. Besides contributing to defense and economic welfare, timber sales exemplify the sound forestry practice of conserva-

The regional forester added that "The Public also will be benefited by allotment of. 25 per cent of all national forest receipts to the State for distribution to county school and road funds, except in cases where Congress, upon the request of counties, authorizes the use of national forest income for Federal purchase of additional lands to control floods or serve other conservation purposes."

National Forests of California which showed the greatest timber-cut were the Plumas, Lassen and Modoc National Forests.

National Retailers Reelect Officers

Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.-At a specially called annual meeting at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, September 22-23, the board of directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association unanimously re-elected the officers of the Association: namely, Carl Blackstock, of the Blackstock Lumber Co., Seattle, Wash., president; John Alexander, Jr., of the Alexander Lumber Co., Aurora, Ill., vice president; G. W. LaPointe, Jr., of the O & N Lumber Co., Menomonie, Wis., treasurer; and H. R. Northup, of Washington, D. C., secretary-manager.

President Blackstock announced the retirement from the executive committee of S. D. Baldwin, of Jersey City, N. J., and R. S. Finkbine, of Des Moines, Iowa.

Members of the new executive committee are J. A. Detweiler, of the Exchange Lumber Co., Rochester, N. Y.; Fred R. Stair, of the Farragut Lumber Co., Knoxville, Tenn.; Leonard Lampert, Jr., of the Lampert Lumber Co., St. Paul, Minn.; S. L. Forrest, of the Forrest Lumber Co., Lamesa, Texas; Carl Blackstock; W. W. Anderson, of the Anderson Lumber Co., Ogden, Utah; F. Dean Prescott, of the Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, Calif.; John Alexander, Jr.; and G. W. LaPointe, Jr. All other active committees of the association were reappointed.

The board spent an entire two days in discussion of the effect upon retail operations of the national defense prog'ram, including the Supply Priorities and Allocations Board, as well as actions and programs of the Office of Price Administration and the Division of Civilian Supply. The new defense housing priorities orders were explained and discussed, and the board considered the recently issued consumer credit regulations of the Federal Reserve Bank board.

It was recommended by the board that those agencies in Washington in charge of priorities and civilian allocations give every consideration to the recognition of civilian housing, farm housing, and the need for service buildings on

of critical materials necessary to enable a large volume of needed building projects to proceed. It was the consensus of opinion of outstanding retail lumbermen from all sections of the country that the operations of the priorities system to date had caused many unnecessary shortages in accessory building materials which are necessary to the continuance of much needed private building which does not have the label of defense housing.

The board pointed out the obvious difficulties of local suppliers of building materials in maintaining an adequate supply of certain critical materials which should be on hand in order to enable them to service promptly even socalled defense projects in many areas.

It was recommended that retail lumber dealers everywhere give concerted consideration to the possibilities of substitution and simplification in line with a nation-rvide movement in this respect, and discuss ways and means in which the retail industry might cooperate with Washington in its effort to get a clear picture of the national inventory situation, in order that proper allocations can be finall1. made for building projects in all parts of the country.

The services available to the consuming public and to the government, as well as to producing groups generally, tlrrough the well-stocked, well-organized building material merchant. were reiterated.

Probable Conrumption of \(/estern Pine Lumber for Fourth Quarter ol 1941

Portland, Oregon, September ?.7-In a statement issued here today by the Western Pine Association, an estimate is given of the probable consumption of lumber from the Western Pine region for the fourth quarter of I94I. The following is the statement in full:

Latest reports indicate that shipments from the Western Pine region during the third quarter of 1941 will be approximately 1,775 million feet or an advance of about 15 percent over shipments for the like period of last year. This is an all time high for the movement of Western Pine lumber during any quarter of any year in the history of the industry.

Third quarter production ol1,975 million feet was up 323 million feet from the second quafter and showed a gain of 14 per cent over last year in spite of adverse weather conditions for logging operations. This record production constitutes an excellent response by the industry to appeals made in August by OPM and OPACS for greater lumber production during this period of emergency needs. However, the demands of Government and other customers for shipments were so insistent that even this immense production did not permit the usual normal accumulation of stocks during the quarter. Stocks grew less than 200 million feet during the period.

The extremely favorable month by month comparisons of 1941 shipments over those of 1940 began to narrow in August and probably by the middle of the fourth quarter will be showing no increases at all because the stock accumulations which helped make such heavy shipments possible last Fall are lighter this year. A larger percentage of shipments this Fall and Winter will have to come from current production.

The August 14th report of the Lumber Survey Committee, U. S. Department of Commerce, states that the prospects for the lumber industry indicate continued great activity regardless of difficulties arising out of' priorities, price ceilings and other regulations of prices and supply. With a probable new cantonment program, continued heavy industrial building and the proposed program of 625,000 family dwelling units to be built in the fiscal year l94l-I942 as compared with 600,000 in the previous fiscal year, the lumber industry's capacity will be heavily taxed in the coming months. Especially important in the case of Western Pine is the constantly increasing demand for boxes and crates in which to ship planes, shells, rifles and other munitions.

Based on such general predictions and on all other available information relative to the use of our products, it is now estimated that during the fourth quarter of 1941 the consumption (shipments) of Western Pine lumber will be about 1,461 million feet. This would mean a volume of shipments 71 million feet lower than the 1,532 million feet shipped in the fourth quarter of.1940 and,17.3 per cent under third quarter shipments of this year. An unusually late dry Fall, permitting later than normal seasonal production, would increase this volume of shipments because the demand during the fourth quarter apparently will absorb practically everything the industry can ship.

O $food with its traditional adaptability makes possible that variation in design and application, which is the secret of individuality in homes. Beautiful Ponderosa Pine has won its desired place as the ideal wood for a great number of uses in home building. More and more architects and builders are turning to Ponderosa Pine to create beautiful exteriors.

This soft.textured wood has a straight, close, uniform grain. The Ponderosa Pine from the \7'eyerhaeuser Klamath Falls mill is unexcelled in smoothness, appearance and uniformity. Here under one roof in the largest shed in the wodd, Ponderosa Pine is stored after being scientifically kiln dried. In storage it is never exposed to the elements from the time it leaves

Ponderosa Pine has a low shrinkage factor, which is practically 30% less than some of the heavier soft woods. It is one of the premier woods in its ability to sta! in place. Carpenters like it, because it is easy ro work with. It nails well, saws well, machines well and glues well. Its ability to take and hold paint also adds to the value of Ponderosa.

My brain will take new energy, in keeping pace with his; the stimulus of his action will rouse the sluggard blood in my veins. I can depend on him, for he knows not the meaning of proscrastination, and scorns shirking. He may make mistakes, bless him,-who doesn't? He's got the vim and the punch and the stuff that life is made of, and his mistakes are the mistakes of aggression, not hesitation. Keep your brilliant men, learned men, wise men-and give me the enthusiastic man. now and forever.

Are"ChestMonths" Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Meeting Oct. 23

Strong appeals for funds for the coming year for the important corrective and preventive work of health and welfare agencies are now being made by Community Chests throughout the country.

October and November are "Chest months" in which Welfare Federations seek necessary operating funds for member agencies in single appeals instead of many. National broadcasts by President Roosevelt and Wendell Wilkie on Friday, Oct. 3, formally opened this year's activities.

"fn these troublous times," comments Paul K. Yost, vicepresident Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles, and volunteer Chest campaign chairman, "we must focus our attention, at Community Chest time, on human needs at home. We must take care of our own, without prejudice to the recognized needs of people in war-torn lands.

"At Community Chest Time it behooves all of us to remember that the corrective and preventive services of many health and welfare agencies are limited only by the amount of funds provided for their work. Coordinated, single appeals are the efficient and economical rvay of raising the money needed for continued operation. Let us keep faith with the American way of living as good neighbors."

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club No. 2 will hold a luncheon meeting at the Mona Lisa Cafe, 3343 Wilshire Blvd. (opposite the Ambassador l{otel), Los Angeles, Thursday noon, October 23, 1941. Luncheon will be served at 12:@ p. m. This will be the first meeting following the summer season and a good turnout is expected. There will be a report on the Golden Jubilee Annual of Hoo-Hoo which was held at Hot Springs National Park, Ark., on October 8-10.

The committee arranging for the meeting includes J. E. Martin, Vicegerent Snark; W. B. Wickersham, A. W. Donovan, Lew Hackett, Geo. E. Ream, and R. S. Osgood. Reservations can be made by calling J. E. Martin, 318 Central Bldg., Los Angeles, telephone VAndike 4565.

Price Executive Explains Lumber Price Schedule

Peter A. Stone, Price Executive, Lumber and Building Materials Section of the Price Division of the Office of Price Administration, Washington, D.C., addressed the industry meeting arranged by the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association in the grand ballroom of the Commodore Hotel, New York, Tuesday afternoon, September 30. Over 300 lumbermen manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers . came from many states east of the Mississippi and listened attentively to what was said. Some western mills also had representatives present, although in the main Mr. Stone's remarks were directed to Southern Pine,

Mr. Stone explained and clarified some questions which have arisen with regard to the interpretation oI the Southern Pine price schedule. In the course of his address he made the following remarks regarding mixed cars.

1. 'If we find that a seller refuses to sell in straight car lots in order to get the premium that goes with mixed cars, where he had formerly sold to the buyer in straight car lots, we would consider that as an evasion of the schedule.

2. "If. sellers insist upon using this premium for other than what it was intended for, that is, to meet the extra cost of loading true mixed cars, we shall proceed immediately to remove that mixed gar premium from the schedule. This would also apply to the seller who refuses to sell random lengths although he had previously done so."

Following the prepared address, the meeting was thrown open, affording anyone in the audience an opportunity to ask questions. Mr. Stone was liberal in the time allotted for this purpose. Many problems not covered in the prepared address were brought out during the question and answer period. The transcript of the questions and answers should prove to be a valuable supplement to the prepared address. After editing, we hope to publish.

Several questions from the floor indicated that a strict adherence to the price schedules would undoubtedly work a hardship. ft was pointed out, however, that each case would have to be decided on its merits. The door is not closed to relief provided for such cases under the regulations.

In answer to a question involving wholesalers' compensation, Mr. Stone referred specifically to the letter J. K.

Galbraith, assistant administrator of the O.P.M., addressed to the National-American. It seems clear that in arriving at the schedules established usual wholesale discounts were taken into consideration.

It was stated that the Division is contemplating some action in connection with railroad and car material; also, that differentials for certain states confronted with different operating costs and varied freight rates were being considered.

In the absence of President Herrmann who could not attend because of a death in his family occurring just as he was about to leave for New York, former president William H. Schuette of Pittsburgh presided over the meeting as Chairman of the Trade Relations Committee.

It is planned to hold a similar meeting in Seattle, Wash., in the near future.

Ceiling Prices Include Wholecaler's Commission

Sid L. Darling, secretary of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, New York, has received a letter from J. K. Galbraith, assistant administrator, Office of Price Administration, Washington, D. C., announcing that the ceiling prices for Southern Pine and Douglas Fir include the wholesaler's commission.

A copy of Mr. Galbraith's letter follows:

"This is in reply to your letter of September 8, and may be considered as a reply to Mr. Herrmann's letter of August 29.

"We regret that we overlooked including in the amendment to Price Schedule 19 any reference to the wholesaler's commission. Neither was this included in Schedule Numbet % covering Douglas Fir.

"T may, however, repeat at this time that the maximum prices in both the Southern Pine amended schedule and the Douglas Fir Schedule were arrived at after due consideration of cost factors, which included an allowance for wholesaler's commission, and we expect, on the basis of such prices, that the usual wholesale discounts will be allowed under those maximums.

"You have our authority to make use of,this letter as you may deem advisable in calling this to the attention of your members."

A 13o,ooo Acre Tree Farm With A Fifty Year Crop

Reprinted, from Weyerhaeuser News

From the lookout tower perched spraddle-legged 2,W feet atop Minot Peak you can read the perpetuating life of a hundred thousand acres or more and look down through time for the next half century.

If you ask the keen-eyed veteran up there he will tell you that he is more than just spotting the first telltale plumes of fires, started quite likely by the careless match or tossed-away smoke of some law-forgetting mo to ri s t, fisherman or berry-picker. Fires must be kept out, most certainly, but that's not all there is to it. He is acting a living, breathing part of a far-reaching dream that has been forming for years in the studying brains of foresters and lumbermen, a dream that has now taken tangible shape and being.

The Peak knobs up in the middle of the 130,000 galloping acres that are the Clemons Tree Farm. The low-hanging, gray clouds that slide in from the near-by

Pacific kiss these slopes with a bountiful and temperate moisture which, combined with a tree-fertile soil, has made the region one of the most productive forest growing areas man has known.

Here, in Grays Harbor county, Washington, a section famed for its g'reat trees of Douglas Fir, West Coast Hemlock, Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedara prime brotherhood in the world of lumber-man is making a new compact with Nature. It is a mutual bargain of understanding and co-operation for the prlrpose of growing a never-ending crop of trees for the continuing harvest of lumber, plywood, shingles, pulp and the patiently wrought wonders of the chemist's test tube.

This is a carefully calculated, businesslike, pioneering venture in commercial forest growing by private initiative. It is a 130,000-acre laboratory of facts, rvith size enough to make the enterprise prac-

tical, an experiment projected under the exact conditions of Nature, but with the hazzard. of those conditions anticipated and countered by the best that man has been able to conjure out of study and experience.

The hope, naturally, is to make the experiment pay the men who do the labor of harvesting, the community, the American people, and those who put up the money. Here is a wager with Time. The main forest crop on the Clemons Tree Farm is not expected to be in full swing until 1991.

"Give us a piece of ground that's big enough to make a worth-while experiment," the foresters asked. They got 130,000 acres. "Give us a tract that is compact and bounded by Nature's own fire boundaries-the ridges and streams," they said. They got that, too. "Give us land that is unsuited f'or normal agriculture, that can grow trees better than anything else," they asked. This site is ideal. "Give us the right to lay our plans for the complete farm, without respect to the uncompromising straight lines of ownership that lie within," they suggested. They were granted that condition also. "Give us now the means, the money, to go on with the plan."

They have all of these basic things in the Clemons Tree Farm.

From the lookout tower you can see logging outfits still slicing away at the virgin, old growth forest that never knew the axe of man. They have been doing that over the farm now for more than 30 years, snaking out huge logs of sound stuff and at the same time uncovering a vast debris of trees that grew and ripened and rotted to serve no purpose rvhatever. For many a tree the harvest came too late.

You can see also groups of old trees that have been deliberately left here and there for seed.

The Clemons Tree Farm is a farm of the new forest, a forest where trees will grow faster, will waste little or nothing of' their substance in decay, will ripen, it is hoped, to a continuing and practical harvest for the needs of man.

You can see hillsides on the Clemons Tree Farm where young twenty-year-old trees stand thick as the hair on a dog's back. You can see other stands of fifteen years, and ten, and five. You can see other slopes which seem to have no trees at all, but if you get down on the ground and look around between the stumps and the rotting debris and push the ferns away, you can see the little fellows there, like delicate green feathers. Some of those seedlings sprang from seeds fluttering down from the older forest, but many a slope has been given a new start-after repeated fires

have blotted out all lifeby patient hand planting with tiny trees grown in nurseries of the Weyerhaeuser , :.,:: Timber Company. ii

You can also see, with distressing frequency, whole slopes that have been blasted black by a withering flame. Life is not good to look at where fire has crackled heavenward in a pall of murk and sparks and left behind naught but a forest graveyard filled 'rvith charred tombstones.

"Just brush," it has been the habit of' some to say in times past.

No, not brush ! It wasn't brush but TIME that burned. Ten years over there across the creek. Twenty years on that distant hillside. Five years down there. TIME that meant 1,000 board feet to the acre per year-wages, homes, taxes and dividends of tomorrow.

A new way of think about Trees and Men and Homes is now developing.

"We can't grow trees unless we conquer the fires," protested the foresters. "We must do the fire-fighting

job completely. It's the only way we can win. All forest fires start as small fires. We must lick them while they're little !"

So, this year of t94I, f.or the first time in the history of the Douglas Fir region, a complete forest defense program is bei.ng established. It is a system to hold back the worst enemy of the forest and give the young trees a real chance to grow.

To establish such a system the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company is making an initial investment of $1CI,00o. That sum is in addition to approximately $19,000 needed annually to operate the protection system. The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company is staking this amount as a wager on the correctness of a new concept of forest operation although it controls only about half the land in the 130.00Gacre Clemons Tree Farm. The remai.nder belongs to other private owners, the state and the county.

The men of Weyerhaeuser are pitting a modern, mechtnized army against firethe greatest enemy ol the forests. To use military terms, they are basing their strategy on "firepower and mobility." The strategy is: detection, communication, transportation, equipment, ammunition. That last is none other than water-but, rvater when and where it is needed.

There are six lookout towers in the project, five of them built and staffed by Weyerhaeuser. From them every acre of the vast farm can be kept under the scrutiny of alert men. Stringing between the towers and headquarters are 90 miles of telephone line. Backing up this communication system are 16 two-way radio sets, some for the towers and some for the mobile equipment.

The ribbonJike lines you see interlacing the hillsides and the ridges are roads, mostly converted logging grades. They spider out over the whole farm to bring every acre within 1,000 feet of a road, a hose line, and water pumping equipment. They twist around curving hillsides and dart down and up in sharp angles sometimes to cross small canyons, and now and then they tackle a 10 or 15 per cent grade. They are not wide roads-just'one lane, except for turnouts. They are roads which serve their principal use in dry weather-fire weather. But there are 170 miles of travelable road in the Clemons Tree Farm system, most of it capable of taking equipment to any fire at 35 miles an hour or better.

There's an important side story in roads and forest fires. Without roads, a .modern, mechanized fire fighting system would be impossible. Without modern roadmaking machinery no adequate transportation system would be feasible. Commercial forest growing had to wait for the proper stage of development in the mechanical age.

Down at headquarters you can size up the equipment. But, unless it's a wet, fire-free day, you'll find oirly the reserve pieces there. The others will be deployed over the farm near the scenes of potential danger, poised and ready to spring into instant action.

;

There are five light patrol trucks, each carrying a 13G gallon tank of water and a live reel of hose, 3Q0 feet of it, in one piece oI solid rubber, an inch in diameteq always hooked up to the water. The patrolman'can dash to a blaze, slap on his brakes, kick over the pur,np control lever, leave his engine running, grab the hose ind get to

work. He controls the water at the nozzle end and can play a lively stream for 15 to N minutes.

The heavy work falls to the fighter trucks, of which there are several. These 3-ton moguls have specially designed steel bodies with 5O0-gallon water tanks built into them and space provided for carrying up to 2,000 feet of l/z-inch hose. A pump, operating on a power take-off, can feed streams of water through several hose lines simultaneously, using water drawn either from the tank or from outside sources.

Then there is the bulldozer that can climb on the back of a heavy, semi-trailer truck and ride out to action to do such things as plow a firebreak, plunge down over steep, rough ground that trucks can't get over, scoop out a hole in a creek and put its own pumping equipment on the fire. When there are no fires to engage its services it has a steady flow of jobs such as ripping ties out of old railroad beds, scraping out new roads and firebreaks, deepening water holes and building earthen dams to impound water supplies.

Then, too, there are the lightweight, portable pumps, a score of them, small enough for a man to pack on his back, two-cylindered gasoline motor looking very much like an outboard boat kicker. Set up in an eye twinkling by a creek or water hole, or at a standby tank, they can push 64 gallons a minute straight against a 30Gfoot lift or move water a mile through level hose lines.

But what's equipment other than tools for men to use? When the sun hangs hot and high in a cloudless sky and the fbrest duff crackles under-foot, the 30 men who comprise the standing crew of the fire protection system peer intently across the greening hills that are in their charge, they snifi the air analytically, and move about with the quiet tenseness of a cougar poised for the kill.

tlpon these men 6rst falls the challenge to the security of the new forest. Upon them rests more than a responsibility for getting to a fire and putting it out quickly. Upon their effectiveness may depend the crystallization of a new concept of tree growing on a perpetual crop basis with private enterprise supplying the initiative and direction.

The men of Weyerhaeuser, on the fire trucks, in the lookout towers, in the executive offices, are accepting the challenge with a quiet confidence. On their side is plan, organization, modern equipment, and a determination to make the Clemons Tree Farm successfully grow a continuing crop of trees useful to man-even though the harvest lies on the hotizon of Time, perhaps fully a half century away.

Operates Company Airplane for Quick Business Trips of Officials

a few years. The river, with its steam boat and log raft, was the life blood of the lumber business. Now. in a few hours, one can travel by air to either coast.

"Nearly as great speed and change has been achieved in the modern production of woodwork," Mr. Curtis continued. "Today our factories are turning out many large defense orders. When one sees how modern machines and methods take a carload of lumber and quickly turn it into windows and doors and other woodwork, it seems like the days of 1866 are much farther back than 75 years ago. I think the building industry, too, has advanced rapidly and is keeping pace r.vith modern demand for speed and greater and better production."

Lumber Industry Minimum \(/age Approved

Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork, ricently put into use a company airplane for quick business trips of officials to various parts of the country. The plane will operate out of,Clinton and will be at the disposal of executives and sales representatives. It is a five passenger, 225 horsepower Beechcraft with a cruising speed of 155 miles per hour. The plane rvill be in charge of a company pilot.

Curtis operates woodwork plants in several states and has distributors and dealers all over the country and in Canada. The company has felt for some time the need for quick transportation to sales conferences and business meetings. With a plane readily available there will be greater opportunities for closer cooperation rvithin the Curtis organization and with their dealers.

1941 marks the 75th year of the founding of the Curtis institution. fn commenting on the purchase of a plane for business use, G. L. Curtis, president of the company, stated:

"It's interesting to look back on the early days of this and other businesses and to dwell on the difficulties which had to be overcome by the pioneers of our American industry. When our business was started in 1866, it was a day,s journey by train from Clinton to Chicago (1,10 miles). The railroad had then been extended west of the Mississippi only

Recommendations by industry committees for the establishment of minimum wage rates of 35 cents an hour in the lumber industry, and 40 cents an hour in the wood furniture industry were approved today by General Philip B. Fleming, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U. S. Department of Labor. Wage orders will be issued shortly putting these minimum rates into effect November 3.

fn announcing approval of the timber and furniture minimums, General Fleming clarified the division between the lumber industry and the furniture industry as defined for the wage orders. The definition of the furniture industry includes "the manufacture and assembling from wood of furniture parts separately, setup, or knocked down . " The furniture industry will include, General Fleming said, all wood-working operations necessary to the manufacture of furniture following delivery of the wood from the dry kiln or air-dried dimension shed. It will include the manufacture of furniture parts whether made in the furniture factory or a sawmill.

Wood parts, produced for furniture manufacturers, whereever manufactured, will be considered "furniture parts" and within the furniture industry if the wood-working operations include processes other than rip sawing, cut-off sawing, molding, planing and resawing. The manufacture of veneer and plywood will be within the lumber and timber products industry for which the minimum will be 35 cents an hour. However, the manufacture from plywood or veneer of "furniture parts" will be within the furniture industry for which the minimum will be 4O cents an hour.

National Retailers Association Commentg on SPAB Policy on Priorities

(Continued from Page 8)

every means available to them, including their Congressmen, should point out the obvious facts in regard to the position of retail lumber dealers and the building industry in respect to residential construction, modernization and repair activities, and farm building; namely:

The small amount of critical materials used:

The question of local employment of building tradesmen and retail employment itself ; and

The fact that retail yards .generally are well stocked with most of the basic materials required for the type of construction that is definitely needed and essential to the health and safety of the American people, plus the type of material ,needed for the upkeep and maintenance of industrial and commercial plants.

We do not recommend that our industry "carrv the torch" for the type of building project which bbn;ouity can not go ahead if its basic structural material is one that requires critical items when substitution of other materials can be made.
