NH.DA Annuql Meeting October 2l'23

'The annual meeting oi the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association will be held in Seattle, Wash., October 21, 22, and 23.

Following the three-day meeting, dealers will be guests of West Coast lumbermen for three days of sightseeing and entertainment. Large delegations from Northern and Southern California will attend the convention.

Mcrkes Announcements

Announcement was made October 1 by Erik Flamer, general manager of the Coast Lumber & Equipment Company, Long Beach, of the appointment of Norman Olson as sales manager of their lumber department. He will be assisted by Urban Mandis and Tony Sedia.

Mr. Flamer also announced that Frank Donaldson, in addition to being in charge of the hardware and paint departments, is now also handling the building material, plywood, and sash and door departments, assisted by Russell Lemmon.

New Ycnd In Scn Jose

Torgerson Lumber Co., Oliver A. Torgerson, owner, which has been carrying on business on a temporary site has now purchased a permanent site on Elm Street, San Jose, for its retail lumber yard. Mr. Torgerson was for a number of years with the Red River Lumber Co., at West' wood, Calif., and was latterly with the Pacific Manufacturing Co., Santa Clata.

Mcrritime Strike

San Francisco, Oct. 7.-Indefinite continuation of the maritime strike was threatened today by Harry Bridges, CIO longshore boss, unless a separate contract was negotiated for CIO longshore work on AFl-manned West Coast lumber shiPs.

The issue involved is whether longshoremen or sailors would unload one hatch on the lumber schooners.

Frank Foisie, president of the Waterfront Employers Association of the Pacific, declared the CIO Longshore demands upon the coastwise lumber shipping constituted a jurisdictional dispute with the AFL Sailors l-Inion of the Pacific, and as such was not a matter for negotiation by the employers.

Offices Moved To Oregon

Associated Plywood Mills Inc. announced last month that they had disposed of all their properties in the State of Washington, and that on and after September 15, 1946 their main offices would be in Eugene, Oregon, zone l' Their telephone there is Eugene 614.

San Frcrncisco Building Permits

Total of 566 permits f.or $2,173,317 of new construction was issued by the San Francisco central permit bureau during the month of September, bringing the 1946 figure to 6,305 permits valued at $33 million. In the first nine months of. L945 a total of 3,890 permits for $10,807,910 was granted.

How Lrumber lrooks

Portland, Oregon, September 25, lg4!-The weekly aver_ age of West Coast lumber production in August (4 weeks) was 120,182,000 board feet, or 82.9 per cent of Lg4Z_45 averag'e, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's As_ sociation in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged I22,646,0n b. f.; shipments 111,2g0,000. Weekly averages for July were: production 93,090,000 b. f. rc4.j per cent of the 1942-45 average); orders 9g,22g,000; ship_ ments, 95,828,000.

The industry's unfillcd order file stood at SS3,ZZS,W b f at the end of August; gross stocks at 4O3,42I,000.

West Coast Lumbermen's Association termed the greatly increased production of lumber for August, .,a major con_ tribution to the nation's lumber housing needs.,, Mills in the Douglas fir region cut an average it tZO million feet per r,r'eek during August, up 27 million over July. Although still short 11.6% of equalling 1945 production for the first 35 weeks of 1946, lumbermen saw some bright spots.

Mills of the West Coast region are converting more than 50/o of. their cut to housing lumber, one- and two_inch sizes, and production of these items so far in 1946 reorc_ sents 115/o of normal.

"Look at the record,', West Coast lumber spokesmen urged, "then you .ivill see tangible proof that any failure of the national housing program is not due to a shortage of lumber, at least as far as west coast mills are concerned. There is a widespread tendency, both rvithin and without g'overnment, to blame lumber for the failure of Wyatt,s

program to produce houses. The truth is there is a shortage of nails, plumbing, wiring, soil pipe and skilled labor, everything but lumber."

Lumbermen went on to explain the shortage of items like flooring, ceiling, siCing and millwork as due to impractical government formulas and regulations and pointed to subsidy on plywood logs as an example, for it has served to divert clear-type logs, u'hich make these scarce items, an'ay from sawmills.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended September 28, 96 mills reporting, gave orders as 73,248,0@ feet, shipments 59,797,W feet, and production 68,182,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled ZO7,2n,0n feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended September 28, 79 units (106 mills) reporting, gave orders as 14,770,000 feet, shipments 16,411,000 feet, and produ,ction 14,534,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the rveek totaled 72,001,AN f.eet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended September 28, 138 mills reporting, gave orders as 65,894,000 feet, shipments 74,072,000 feet, and production 79/49,OW feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 452,950,000 feer.

W/HENEVER you identify yourself with VY well-known quality building products, youi owrrfuture as a reputable dealer becomes all the more secure.

That's one of the great advantages of selling Johns-Manville Building Materials. They enjoy consurner conf.dence. . proved time and again by public-opinion surveys.

Consider roofing materials. In a recent nation-wide poll, consumers were asked to identify the manufacturer of roofing materials in which they have greatest confidence. They named Johns-Manville eigbt to one!*

One reason for this tremendous public acceptance is theJ-M radio program, "Bill Henry

Johns-Mqnville Rqdio Progrom will fell 3O millions monthly to look for the Sign of Quqlity . ;

rials, and how they can identify qaality bzilders by the J-M sign. The program is broadcast five nights a week at the most popular listening time (a:55 E.D.T.) over a coast-tocoast network of the Columbia Broadcasting System.

Reod how this consumer preferenre ond the Johns-fhonville Sign of Quolity ron help you ond your builders compele agoinst ierry-built ronstruction

and the News." It reaches one of the largest of all listening audiences and helps make Johns-Manville a household word that stands for the best in Building Materials.

To help you and your builders caPitalize on this preference, we have developed a complete merchandising program, a feature of which is theJ-M Sign of Quality as shown below.

Over our coast.to'coast radio Program' we will tell buyers to look to the builder who has been qualified to use that sign.

Many of those listening will be ProsPective buyers in your ov/n community. Thus, theJ'M Sign of Quality can become a powerful selling tool in your business.

S7hat's more, it can help protect your cus' tomers in the building trade against the shortsighted competition of ierrl-buildersbuilders who use slipshod methods and sub' stitute inferior materials in order to rnake a quick proit without regard to the future.

*In a scientifc survey recently completed, 75/o of a'll people interviewed knew the name of a manufacturer of roofing rraterials.

46o/o szid Johns.ManvilLe. 5.a%o said Companv "B". 339i said 'io-p"tty "C-. 2.rEo said Companv "D"' The-remaining, IZ.eo/s was divided among 42 other manufacturers.

Thus, Johns.Manville, rnanufacturer of a complete line of asbeiios and asphalt shingles and roll roofings, was oamed .pproximately eigbt times oJtener tlna,t any other manufacturer of roofing materials.

Named Manager of Washington, D. C.

Olfice

foseph B. Blunt shingles and cedar lumber, and in late years working altogether in trade promotion and trade extension. He is a graduate of the school of forestry of University of Washington in L917. In 1944 he moved from Seattle, where he had lived

for 31 years, to Portland and became portland District office manager, and since mid-year he has headecl up the trade promotion department of the association.

"'Mr. Blunt rvill be the eyes and ears of the West Coast lumber industry in the nation's capital,', stated Mr. Simpson. "With his splendid industry background, covering a

quarter of a century of close contact with every phase of produ,ction in lumbering and logging, rve feel he will be an invaluable aide in helping lumber producers in their contacts with government agencies. His principal duties will be as technical adviser to the various gor-ernment agencies and officials."

Commenting on Mr. Blunt's appointment, C. H. Kreienbaum, president of the West Coast Association and head of Simpson Logging Company, Shelton, Washington, said: "The industry has every confidence in Joe Blunt and knows he will do a real job back there where so much of importance to business is happening every rla-v, and where constant vigilance is necessary."

The smoke is thick, the guests are thicker, Their roving eyes in search of licker. There are no chairs in which to sit, f crave a door through which to flit, But who am I to fuss and fret? At cocktail party etiquette?

I can't say I was forced to come, So let's conclude I'm just plain dumb.

-Margaret Fishback, in Collier's.

The above mildly expresses w,hat I used to think about cocktail parties. f say "used to,', because I'm not as dumb as I used to be. I don't go such places any more. If there is one thing out of all the million things that now seem to indicate that the American people are decadent and have lost their grip-one thing that stands out as proof positive-it is the cocktail party habit. If we were honest we would write across the face of all invitations to such affairs: "For morons only." Stand in a corner at one of these affairs-almost any one-and listen to the conversations that fill the air, and you can hardly disagree with the above conclusion. This is not a moral lecture; it's an intelligence discussion.

Often you hear or read the pertinent query-.,Who won the war, anyway?" Look at the state of the nation at this moment. No soap, no meat, no toilet paper, no suits, no shirts, no syrup, no houses, no apartments, no athletic stuff for growing kids, no lumber, no windows, no doors, no building material, no quality in anything, no service, no automobiles, no ice-boxes, no workmanship, no hotel rooms, no courtesy, no nothin'.

one sometimes looks l*i .lnn envy to the days of war when the necessities of life were available at decent prices, and all the things listed above and hundreds of other scarce items could be had without much trouble. In those days we knew that what trials appeared were the result of the war and for the benefit of the war effort and to help our boys. We were not compelled as we are today to see the tragic conditions that surround us, and have to realize that they are all the direct result of that fumbling, stumbling Bureaucracy in Washington, and practically all unnecessary. And we seem so helpless to do anything about it ! And don't forget, regardless of what they say or print, the bureaus are never going to voluntarily end. Whenever they go out they will be thrown out.

Some farmers are mighty smart. A farmer friend of mine sends me a little story. I don,t know whether he originated it or not, and it doesn't matter. It is a delightful little

treatise on our present day economics. He says that a man who ran a srnall chicken ranch needed wheat for his chickens so he hired out to a neighboring farmer to work on his farm one day a week. The wage was $5 a day. He took his pay in wheat, for which the farmer charged him g1 a bushel. So at the end of each day's work he carried home five bushels of wheat.

In a short time he advised the wheat farmer that he had to have $6 a day for his work, and the farmer agreed. But he raised the price of wheat to 91.20 a bushel. So the chicken raiser carried home five bushels of wheat for his day's work Soon he struck for 97.50 a day, and the farmer agreed. But he raised the price of wheat to 91.50 a bushel. So he still got five bushels of wheat for his day's work. Then the price of labor went to $tO a day; and the price of wheat went up to $Z a bushel.

And the wheat f"r-"r* "Ju l" his wife: ..Business is wonderful. I'm getting $2 a bushel for wheat.,' And the chicken raiser said to his wife: ,,Business is great. I,m getting $10 a day for my work.', They seemed very happy. And, says my farmer friend who sends me this story, .,Who gets hurt by this situation?" And he answers the question himself. He says: "Nobody gets hurt ! Nobody at all t Only every man and woman who owns a life insurance policy; every man and woman who owns a Government bond; every man and woman who has a savings account ! That's all that gets hurt !"

If you're looking to, ,iopi. Iemonstration of the foolhardy phase through which we are laboring today, just quote the story of the chicken raiser and the wheat farmer. Our entire national economic and financial situation is just an enlargement of that picture. All we've got to do is keep on blowing gas into that balloon long enough, and our whole economy will explode with a sharp report and come down in a fine drizzle. Watch and see. Everything will have to come down, if this is to be prevented. The continual upping of the price of everything can only end in disaster.

Wages continually go up, but production does not. Efficiency continually decreases. There is no hope for production to catch up with demand under present conditions. The dollars we get simply grow less and less valuable. The other day I heard a remark that sounded like pure wisdom. A man asked an old automobile dealer how long he thought it would be before a customer would be able to walk into an auto sales room, buy a car, and drive it out. The old

(Continued from Page 8) dealer said: "I think it will be three or four years, the way we are going. The only thing that could shorten the time would be for the American nation to go back to work. They may have to get hungry before they will do it, however."

It can be said or UNnie ln"l n" purpose was splendid and its intentions noble. The innumerable Americans returned from Europe whom I have interviewed on the subject, can think of little else that is good to say about it. The State Department a year ago promised Congress that our contributions to UNRRA will cease by the end of 1946. No change in that termination should be tolerated. We have contributed $2,700,000,000 and more than nine million long tons of supplies to UNRRA, and no man can say or even estimate what portion of that great store of wealth reached its proper goal.

We send our store .t ir""larrio one place, and an iron curtain drops behind it. We are forbidden to know what becomes of it. We send it elsewhere, and an occupation army grabs it. We send it to still another place, and the mongrels who get it murder our young men in cold blood, and then thumb their noses at us with one hand, while holding out the other hand for more charity. We send it to innu,merable places where the Black Market gobbles it up. Had our money and supplies gone where we intended them to go, UNRRA would be a wondrous charity. Lehman was as qualified to head UNRRA as Ma Perkins was to head the Labor Department. LaGuardia is as qualified to head it now as Wallace was qualified for the Department of Commerce.

TREES. Joyce Kilm"r**lr, lmmortality by writing a poem which says: "I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a tree." Recently Jan Struther, a young woman who wrote "Mrs. Miniver," launched a parody on trees, and defending poets. She said:

"I'll never see, whereter I roam, A tree as lovely as a pome. A tree is just a thing that growedBut only man can make an ode."

Whereupon Betty Smith, the author of "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn," brought forth this one:

"I'd rather say I hated fleas, Than be like you that runs down trees. 'Where'd I be, I would like to know, If o'er in Brooklyn no tree did grow."

So far as we know the thing has ended there.

Two friends were talkir;.io,i Uo-ustic conditions. One said: "In spite of alt the confusion here at home, this is still God's country." The other said: "It sure is, for at the rate things are going up no one but God can afford to live here." ***

I offer the following-and guarantee its truth-as an all time masterpiece of understatement. One of my good lumber friends has his own plane and flies a great deal on business. A recent check showed that his plane had some weak spots, and his associates made him buy a better and safer plane, but not until our hero had objected strenuously. He said: "Shaw! There's nothing wrong v/ith this plane! JUST ONE BAD WING!"

Just One Thing He Hadn't Done

The preacher at the revival meeting of the Darktown Baptist Church was particularly eloquent- He had taken for his text "The Ten Commandments." He took up the Comntandments one by one, and delivered a terrifically scathing invective against sinners who trampled them in the dust. It seemed as though the fire of his wrath grew with each successive Commandment he dwelt upon.

Many in the audience noticed what a rnarked effect the sermon was having on "Card" Elliot, the gambling man' who had attracted much attention when he first walked in. Each savage thrust against the breakers of each successive

Commandment seemed to cause Elliot to sink lower and lower in his seat, as though sharne were breaking him down. Finally the sermon ended, as all sermons must eventuatly do. And "Card" Elliot rose from his seat, his shoulders down, his chin drawn in, his countenance looking like that of a man who had taken a terrific beating. And, as he passed the group of Deacons at the entrance door, he was looking neither to the right nor to the left, but one of them heard him saying to himself, like some slightly helpful after-thought:

Will Be In Charge of New Research Unit

A Pacific Northwest laboratory to place research in close contact with treatment of Douglas Fir and other western species will be opened November 1 at the Wauna, Oregon plant of the American Lumber and Treating Company, F. W. Gottschalk, Chicago, company technical director has announced.

This new research unit will be in charge of William A. McFarland, chemical research engineer, who previously directed Process control for the company's 10 plants from the central technical laboratory in Chicago. Mr. McFarland joined AL&T in 1941 after receiving his Masters degree in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota.

In addition to doing extensive work on the development of methods of analysis for fire-retardant treatments,. he is a member of the committee on preservatives of the American Wood-Preservers' Association and is experienced in the application of gluing techniques to treated lumber.

Ihe Black llarket fiets Blacker

A year ago we wrote about the Black Market in these columns, and fitfully described its intense darkness.

Little did we realize that within ayeat the Black Market of that date would become practically an albino by comparison.

A year ago the Black Market was decidedly within bounds of one sort or another. There were places where it appeared non-existent. There were others where it seemed comparatively mild.

Today is has jumped all boundaries, and leveled off intensely over all known territories. We had a letter the other day from a lumberman from the South' He wrote from Portland, Oregon. He said: "If you think the Black Market is bad in Yellow Pine territory, you should come up here and find out how black a market can really get'"

We had another letter from another Southern lumberman, this one from Chicago. He said the same thing exactly about the Chicago territory that the first one said about the Pacific Northwest.

The fact is that the Black Market is blackest wherever you happen to be. It is no longer any respecter of places, persons, territories, commodities, or things' Like darkness, it covers everYthing.

]

We visit around and listen to Black Market stories thdt stagger our 'belief. We are told that in lumber the Black Marketeers iidd higher and higher every day' They' can pay more fpr timber, for logs, for labor, for machinery, for iro"kt, for equipment, for anything and everything they need, than anyone else. What difference does it make what they pay? No trouble to get it back where there are no ceilings and eager buyers ask no questions about price'

There is, as everyone who knows the situation must admit, no chance to either kill or cut down the Black Market. It is all out of control, and will remain so' There are not enough possible government agents in the world to handle the thing. And besides, only the morons in the Black Market stick their necks out for the law to chop off' We read and hear about stopping trucks on the highways' A trucker must be a fool, indeed, not to have a bill-of-sale at

An tditorial

legal prices along with him. Why not? What he really gets for the lumber and how he gets it, is another matter. There are a thousand ways a seller of Black Market lumber can get his price without even exposing himself to prosecution. Many of those interesting methods have been mentioned in these columns. In other words it is no trick at all and requires no extra smart man to be able to sell Black Market lumber safely.

Every now and then a new tri'ck shows up in Black Marketing. For instance, it is said that many men now work in Black Market mills and draw Workmen's Unemployment Compensation at' the same time. They draw the compensation in their right names, and then work for Black Market mills under assumed names, so get paid double. No shortage of labor at that sort of mill.

Nothing is scarce in the Black Markets if the buyers are willing to pay. There is nothing that cannot be had all the time and in quantity. That goes for everything from lumber to thick steaks and other scarce commodities. In the Black Market the word scarce is unknown.

There is not the slightest chance, not the vaguest hope of remedying the Black Market situation in lumber so long as there are restrictions and regulations and ceilings. Not the slightest. The highest price the White Markets wpuld ever be allowed would still be a pittance to the Black Marketeers. Don't expect any relief. There is none in sight.

Digest of New OPA Regulations

Ceiling price increases of 4.5/o f.or Douglas fir doors and 3.9/o f.or pine stock millwork were announced by the OPA. Both actions rvere taken, OPA said, to aid production for the emergency housing program.

The increase in the Douglas fir doors ceiling is part of the program to increase production of doors by N/o over the present 4,000,000 annual rate, the price agency stated. Maximum prices for these doors were originally set at the prices prevailing in April and May, 1941. An increa-se of. 8.9/o was permitted in September, 1943, and a second increase ot 28.25/o in April, 1946.

According to OPA, the National Housing Agency asked the increased price in pine stock millwork to insure a flow of sash doors, frames, screens and other millwork specialties.

Individual adjustment of ceiling prices has been auth-orized for pressure treated forest produ,cts and for the service of such treatment. (Amendment 4 to Supplementary Order 128, effective Oct. 9.)

Resellers' percentage mark-ups on hardwood flooring have been revised so as to make a recent reduction of 10 percentage points apply only to oak, pecan and gum flooring and beech flooring produced in certain areas, woods covered in MPR 458. (Amendment 24 to second MPR 215, efiective Oct.9.)

Ceiling prices of. S/4-inch atd 6/4-inch northern hemlock boards have been decreased approximately $2.40 a thousand, prices of l-inch and 2-inch stock increased from $3 to $4 a thousand, and ceilings on western white spruce planks and timbers increased by $5 a thousand. (Amendment 9 to second revised MPF. 222, effective Oct 2.)

The ceiling price of plaster lath made from Douglas fir and other West Coast lumber, has been reduced by a $1 a thousand pieces, or l2/o. (Amendment 2 to second revised MPR 26, effective Oct. 2.)

Ceiling prices of eight categories of trade sale paint were raised from 2/o to 6/o over current levels. (Amendmenr97 to Order A-1 under section 1499.1598 of MPR 188, effective Oct. 3, 1946.)
