Sensational New Weldwood Moldings eliminate almost all face-nailing, countersinking and puttying. Matching veneer faces blend perfectly with Weldwood-Paneled rooms.

frlr minute your customers see these new moldings I they'll recognize their value. For here, at long last, are the ideal moldings for matching Weldwood paneling.

In addition to perfect match and perfect fit, these new moldings eliminate the need for almost all facenailing, countersinking and puttying. Moldings are nailed to the studding; panels are held firmly and permanently, yet there's ample allowance for contraction and expansion.

Weldwood Moldings are made of extruded aluminum faced with genuine wood veneer doors. Wood facings currently available are: oak, Korina, mahogany, walnut, birch, Prima Vera and maple.

There's a style for every requirement: outside corner, inside corner, cap strip and divider strip.

Look into this important new development, so valuable for wall paneling, fixture and furniture use. Then every time you sellT/e," Weldwood for these pu{poses, sell these new moldings to go with it. You'll be selling a better finished job on residential, commercial and fixture work when you feature the speed, ease and economy of Weldwood Moldings.

We'll be glad to send you samples. ]ust write to our nearest distributing unit:

'fhere is no change in the CIO longshoremen's strike which has tied up West Coast shipping, and as we go to press on October 12 the strike is in its 41st day with no settlement in sight. There are 190 vessels tied up in the West Coast ports.

Portland, Oregon, September 30-West Coast sawmills seem headed for new peace time records in lumber output, orders and shipments, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, as he reported regional accomplishments for the first eight months of 1948.

The 1505 sawmills in the Douglas fir region of rvestern Oregon and Washington reported production totals for the first 34 weeks of l94B of 5,792,259,000 bd. ft., Smith said. Orders of 5,736,285,000 bd. ft. u'ere almost identical with lumber produced, and up 10 million feet over last year for the same period. Lumber shipments exceeded both orders and production, totaling 5,820,809,000 bd. ft.

Irrability of ivater mills to ship by boat and a continuing shortage of railroad cars for tl.re next two months may cut into shipments, Smith said, and could cause mill stoppage where storage facilities become over-crowded. Mills report they are in the best position since the war to supply lumber needed for the nearly 950,000 new homes which will be built in the U. S. this year.

The weekly average of West Coast Lumber Production in August was 185,664,000 board feet or I17.6% of the 19421947 average. Orders averaged 165,001,000 board feet;

Shipments 177,751,000 board feet. Weekly averages for July were: Production 151,848,000 board feet (96.1/o ot the 1942-7947 average) Orders 156,182,000 board feet; Shipments 154,004,000 board feet.

Thirty-four weeks of 1948 cimulative production 5,792,259,0N board feet, thirty-four weeks ol 1947,5,585,551,000 board feet, thirty four weeks of 1946, 5,247,036,W board feet.

Orders for thirty-four weeks of 1948 break down as follows: Rail 3,984,173,000 board feet. Domestic Cargo 839,32I,OOO board feet. Export 259,962,0n board feet. Local 652.829.OO0 board feet.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 630,124,000 board feet at the end of August. Gross stocks at 702,271,000 board feet.

New Laboratory To Be Built At Eugene, Oregon

Facilities for testing Douglas fir plywood in the panelmaking industry's continuing quality control program will be expanded with the erection of a laboratory at Eugene, Ore.

This new branch testing laboratory of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association will offer more rapid service to Oregon and California factories which are now sending plywood specimens to the main laboratory at Tacoma, Wash.

"Eugene was chosen as the location for the new branch laboratory because it has become a focal point of the southern part of the fir plywood manufacturing industry," Charles E. Devlin, managing director of the industrysupported promotional and quality control organization, said in an announcement from Tacoma.

Devlin explained the new laboratory will test samples of the different types of panels, produced by Oregon and northern California 'factories, to maintain the rigid plywood performance standards set up by the plywood industry in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Commerce" The facilities to be established in Eugene will serve as a branch of the existing testing and product development laboratory long-maintained by fir plyrvood manufacturers at Tacoma, headquarters of the trade association.

Tlre Eugene testing organization will be an integral part of the plywood association's technical department. ltrelson S. Perkins, association technical director and John Ritchie, chief of the Tacoma laboratory, will direct the overall operations of the laboratory in relation to the in<lustry quality control program.

The new Eugene laboratory will be headed by Robert H. Ripley, now in the Tacoma technical department of the

Mr. Klass and Mr. Coakley made the trip east by air. and Mr. McGovern traveled by train.

plywood association. He will be assisted by a staff of three for the present.

Although only 30, Ripley has been a plywood technician since 1938, with time out for wartime Navy service rvhich took him from the Solomon Islands to China. He is rnarried and has two children.

Construction of the branch laboratory building will begin immediately and should be completed ,by the first of the year.

The one-story 72x36 foot laboratory building is to be constructed of Douglas fir plywood inside and out and, in effect, will demonstrate the usefulness of the panel material which today is recognized as a basic building commodity.

Vats for boiling and qoaking panel specimens in the new laboratory are to be of Exterior type fir plywood as well. As an incidental result of similar tests in the Tacoma laboratory, plywood vats were found to be in perfect condition after several years of rugged service.

Plywood specimens from 12 Oregon and California plants will be serviced in the Eugene testing plant. Servicing of specimens for Washington plants will still be done by the Tacoma laboratory which will remain the headquarters for testing operations and plywood research.

These specimens will be selected at the plants by the new statistical quality control method which has proved highly successful at Tacoma. Under this system, a new technique in the forest products industry, samples are taken at random following formulae that assure a representative sampling of all production.

Construction of the new Eugene laboratory is another indication of the remarkable growth of the Douglas fir plywood industry in the Pacific Northwest.

Firestone Lumber Industries Expand

Opening of a Hollywood-Los Angeles branch, annouuced by T. R. (Tom) Gaines, general sales manager of Firestone Lumber Industries, marks the latest step in a continuing, program of expansion and improvement of the firm's faciI ities.

Heading up the new branch, with offrces in the Socket Building at 840 Seward Street, Los Angeles, is C. B. (Charley) Lyons, well-known California lumberman rvith wide experience in all phases of the industry.

Cornplete dry kiln, planing, remanufacturing ancl storage facilities are provided at the Hollyu'ood brancl.r, similar to Firestone Lumber Industries facilities at San Francisco and Oakland.

The firm nou'handles part or all of the pine, fir and redwood production of 22 n;,ills in Northern California. It also operates two logging shows on which logs are decked during the season and held for winter delivery to associated mills. This plan assures continued deliveries during tl-re off season.

Devoted exclusively to the r'vholesaling of lumlrt:r to domestic and foreign retail yards, the services offered by Firestone Lumber Industries have been carefullv tailored

to the needs of lumber yards. Stocks of sorted and gradecl lumber are maintained at each of the firm's storage yards. Large retail yard orders can be made up for direct delivery to the job site, eliminating the re-handling required by the usual delivery to the retail yards and re-shipment to the job. Direct mill-to-yard to mill-to-job shipments are also handled.

Typical of the facilities and equipment maintainecl by the firm is the San Francisco plant, Idaco Mill & Lumber Company. Occupying 150,000 sq, ft., this plant is served by both rail and truck transportation. Mill shipments received are sorted and graded. Stock for remanufacturing or surfacing goes to the modern mill, equipped with a new 1948 Model Newman 8" x 16t' matcher and Stetson Ross 6" x 15" matcher. Plant is also equipped with 54" resaw, rip saws, trim saws and 100 foot sorting chain. A dry kiln wtih a capacity of 100,000 per week is operated on a 24 hodr per day basis.

A division of Idaco Company, manufacturers of luruber mill equipment, Firestone Lumber Industries has its main offices at 3200 Peralta Street, Oakland. In addition to E. E. Firestone, president, offrcers of the firm include A. E. Soulages and E. Jeffreys, vice presidents.

Socialized Housing Initiative Measure tVill Be On California Ballot November 2

California voters will decide betrveen socializecl housing and free enterprise housing on November 2 rvhen they vote on the Housing Initiative Measure to be shown on the ballot as Proposition No. 14.

Proposition No. 14 proposes to put the State in the housing business, r.nu'ith millions of dollars of the taxpayers' money at its disposal. The measure is based on the theory that the housing shortage can be solved by simply turning millions of dollars over to a new governmental bureau to be used for rent subsidies, loans to housing agencies, and direct government conflict with private buildirrg and construction activities.

The measure rvould create a fund of $l@,0Ci0,000 through a state bond issue, and another fund of $25,000,@0 to be made available annually fronr the state's general fund. An appropriation of $750,0@ per year for administrative costs ,of the Agency would also be authorized.

It would create a State Housing Agency compose<l of

five commissioners, and lets the Agency appoint a new staff of government'employees, including a director, deputies, a legal staff and technicians, experts and professionals, exempt from civil service.

The Legislature is forbidden by ,the measure to pass any law lvhich might control this Agency, or to cut down any of its powers for ten years.

Lumber dealers, builders, and many other business groups throughout the state are opposed to Proposition No. 14, and are putting up a strong fight to beat it at the polls. The Northern and Southern California lumber dealer associations are taking the lead in the fight. They take the stand that private industry is working to full capacity, both labor and materials are being fully utilized, and no public agency could do anything but retard building, in addition to creating another huge bureau to prey on the public.

Lumbermen generally are confident that Proposition No. 14 would retard building, and hurt the cause of home building on a sound and economical basis.

The London Sunday Times recently offered this classic editorial opinion of Socialism as England has found it: "In England there is no incentive to bold undertakings Today, it is safer to be a Bureaucrat than a maker, and the young men know it SOCIALISM IS COMPETITION WITHOUT PRIZES, BOREDOM WITHOUT HOPE, WAR WITHOUT VICTORY, AND STATIS. TICS WITHOUT END. It takes the heart out of young men . . . It is not only politically false, but morally destructive." ***

Should you be seeking any further signs of infation than those that surround you at every step, consider this from "Nation's Business": "The Veterans' Administration this year asked for $7,9fi),000 for stationery. This would have printed 3,674,000,0(X) forms, or 200 forms for each veteran, or 30 forms for each person in the United States. It also asked for 303,2t7,50O letterhiads, at a cost of $557,902. This would have permitted each of the employes of the VA, including elevator operators, to write 1348 letters in the fiscal year 1948."

Signs of business confusion: I read in the newspapers recently about a man from Michigan who had been trying in vain to buy a new car, and couldn't even get a promise. Called to England on business he saw the very car he had been trying to get. It was in a sales window, and he was o'ffered immediate delivery-just take it and drive it out -fs1 svasfly $557 less than the list price in the United States. So he decided to buy it and ship it home, but the English dealer told him that would not be necessary; he just took the man's money and delivered him the car at the same price at the car factory in the United States. He made the deal, got the new car, and saved over five hundred bucks. A few days later some motor car official got into the papers trying to explain how such things ,could be, but it was too deep t:r

But here is one closer home. A friend of mine tells me one that tops that English deal. He was recently in Oslo, Norway, on business, and there he saw offered for sale by a dealer a car he had been trying in vain to get at his home in California. And it was ready for delivery for hundreds of dollars less than the delivered list price of the same car in California. He bought the car, actually shipped it to California, and still saved money, and at the same time got the car he had been unable to get at home. Higher economics, f guess.

Reports from authentic sources indicate that most big national advertisers are going to spend at least as much for advertising in the next year as they did in the past year, which is a very good business sign. Lever Bros., who sell Lifebuoy, Rinso, and Pepsodent, plan to spend the biggest budget in their history, fifteen million dollars for advertising. Other big firms are reported to be considering like action.

Someone unknown to me wrote the following classic on salesmen, which deserves a spotlight: "ff you work with your hands, you are a laborer. If you work with your hands and head, you are a craftsman. If hands ,head, and heart are required, you are an artist. But if it takes hands, head, heart, AND FEET* an*". you are a salesman."

When a man takes off his hat in an elevator it may be a sign of good manners, but it is much more likely to be a sign of good hair. ***

Rev. George Hewlitt Johnson, of England, widely advertised as the "Red Dean of Canterbury," is again trying to get into this country to preach his philosophy of Communism, which he professes to dearly love. Some writer says that the trouble with this so-called religionist is that he has more love for the gospel of Marx than for the Gospel of Mark. (Wish I'd said*that.)

A great furor was raised in the press recently when a male movie actor.was arrested for being a "dopie." They threaten him with trial and punishment. The folks they should prosecute are the fools who take a good forty dollar a week truck driver, pay him thousands of dollars a week, and fill his head with the crazy notions that their witd salaries so easily finance. YnT else could they expect?

This case caused much discussion in the press as to whether or not marijuana is habit-forming, and how harmful it may or may not be, and many arose to belittle the idea that the stuff was of the devil's own brew. So just give ear to the best possible authority on the subject, Col. Garland Williams, head of the United States narcotics enforcement department, who says: "Reefers are habitforming. All sex perverts may not be marijuana smokers but practically all marijuana smokers ARE perverted." Nice stufft * * *

When someone suggests cutting the cost of the federal government, he always catches hell, because economy is the most hated word in a federal bureaucracy. Yet there

(Continued on Page 10)

(Continued from Page 9) are innumerable ways economy could and should be practiced. In fact they could save a lot of money by stopping some of the illegal things that are being done by the bureaucrats. For instance-the Harness Committee, headed by Representative Harness, of Indiana, was appointed by the Lower House to investigate publicity and propaganda activities of the executive department of the government. This committee reported that in 1946 the fedei-al government in Washington employed 45,000 people who spent either all or part of their time doing publicity and propaganda work for the bureaus, and they spent seventy-five million dollars that year doing it. The thing is indefensible, and probably entirely illegal. There is a spot where we could save a neat seventy-five million. But of course it won't be done until the whole set-up is changed. No telling how many such saving possibilities there are'

Politics, they say, makes strange bedfellows. You've heard that quoted all your life. Accepted as one of the great truisms of our modern times, its origin is seldom mentioned. So I shall mention same. In l87l a man named Charles Dudley Warner wrote a book, and while the rest of the book is long forgotten, one phrase that it contained, lives always. He remarked: "True it is that politics make strange bedfellows." Thaj, tl."*U", is the exact quotation.

Every four years we have our biggest national circus; the Presidential campaign. It's in high gear now. And isn't it a spectacle? I'm inclined to think the show this year is much more interesting to the entertainment seeker than any in a long time. The last Roosevelt campaigns were too cut and dried to furnish much thrill. FDR went into each race with the Solid South, the unions, the radicals, and the great government employee vote already in his pocket, a total of about twenty million votes to start out with. Didn't give the opposition much chance, especially with his promises not to send our boys abroad to fight'

But this year there are new elements. Truman, after deliberately cracking the Democratic Party into bits, is making a driving campaign for votes. Some say that the party will put its pieces together again after the campaign. I don't believe it. It looks to me like the Humpty Dumpty of nursery rhyme fame; "and all the king's horses and all the king's men cannot put Humpty Dumpty togetheragain."

In Texas especially, famous old Democratic newspapers are beating the drums editorially in favor of Dewey, including such papers as the Dallas News, the Galveston News (oldest Democratic newspaper in the state), and the Houston Post and Chronicle (the latter published by Jesse H. Jones.) A fair example of what these papers say about Truman can be gained from these editoiial remarks from the Dallas News: (Heading: With little to give, Truman gives it all.) "A public figure has difficulty putting his best foot forward when the best foot isn't such-a-much. In a campaign tour that would be difficult for a Demosthenes, Harry Truman finds that his principal handicap is Harry

Truman. The unimpressive, balding little man without platform presence, phrase-maliing command, or the power to sway an audience is entitled to admiration for the gameness of his battle. He is giving all that he has. He has so little to give."

While I was raised a Democrat as was my father b9fore me, I was never the kind that my friend Stanley Horn, of Nashville, Editor of The Southern Lumberman, has always been. Stanley says he was brought up in the belief that should he ever raise his hand to vote the Republican ticket, that hand would fall palsied at his side. Flowever he recently remarked that he is in something of a fix now, since he cannot follow the little Pendergast man, and still hates to vote Republican.

**{<

The Democratic Party that I knew was founded on two main planks-states' rights, and free trade. Since free trade is gone and they spit on States' rights at the Demo' cratic. national convention, I feel that free lancing is the political order of the day. As far as the New Deal is concerned, everything about it is and has from its beginning been abhorrent to me. Before the nominations I was pulling for Douglas MacArthur for President. His great record and personality were foremost in my mind. But in the back of my head was THIS thought; that if MacArthur was President he might some day be present when some hydrophobia polecat like Vishinsky was spitting his venom at the United States. I can't help wondering how many teeth the little Ruskie would have missing one minute after he uttered his first insult. And we've been needing some such action for a long time. You can't tell me anyone would utter an insult to this nation in MacArthur's presence. The Magnificent Mac would rise up and obliterate him. {<**

Now I'm pulling for Mr. Dewey. Again my chiif reasons for so doing are unorthodox. I have two such reasons, which I shall now unfold. First, he is a grand prosecutor. Not since Hercules cleaned out the stables whose name is so hard to spell, has there been such need of a cleaning job as there is in Washington; and has been for the past sixteen years. I know that many millions of American businessmen feel that way. So when Mr. Dewey promised that if elected "there will begin the biggest unraveling, unsnarling, untangling operation in our nation's history," right away I daid to myself-"That's for me." I can hardlY wait' * * ,.

My second reason for pulling for Dewey is Mrs. Dewey. She goes with Governor Dewey on all his political trips, and they tell me she gets more votes than her husband does. She is beautiful to look at, charming and gracious in manner, highty intelligent in speech, yet a modest, gentle, lovely lady. She gets my support, even if I did not approve so highly of her husband.

I must now speak " *Jru l, 1."*" for Henry wallace. Wait ! Don't start throwing things at me yet. What I mean is that Henry no doubt is the strange, confused,

A colorless, uninteresting, deadly talker is Henry. But he makes people pay to hear him, and they come in droves to buy tickets and listen.

Compile Case History on Treated \7ood

What happens to "Wolmanized" treated wood after it has been installed has been made the subject of a report by H. W. Angell, R. E. Davis and W. A. McFarland of the Technical Department, American Lumber & Treating Co. A most extensive case-history file, the service records on installations covering more than 34,000,000 board feet, has been published.

The first data, presented at the 1941 annual meeting of the American Wood-Preservers' Association, has now been supplemented, summarized and brought up to date.

The oldest U.S. installation, a dye house in Cbnnecticut, is now over 24 years old and stiil sound. Over 1,000,000 board feet of the 34,000,000-foot total is between ?0 and 25 years old. The figures show that where properly treated wood is used in hard-service installations, nearly ten times as much of it will be removed because of wearing out, storm breakage, reconstruction or abandonment as will be damaged by rot or termites.

Business ThoughtsFrom Bankers Convention

Various thoughts of interest to all business men came from the annual convention of the American Bankers Association held in Detroit the last days of September.

Figures presented to the meeting showed that the banks of the nation are now lending to business more money than ever before; a total of more than fifteen billions being reported by 441 banks in 94 American cities. It was generally agreed among the delegates that the time has come to tighten loans to business, scrutinize borrowers more carefully, and check more thoroughly on large borro\,\'efs.

A banker from Portland, O:egon, brought the Northwest lumber picture into discussion. He thought a quick drop in lumber prices would make the Northrvest bankers the owners of many poorly financed lumber operations, with the present "soft" price situation prevailing in that territory.

pressed the opinion that inflation may have run its course in the nation generally, and gave nine reasons for thinking so: evidence that urgent demand for many products is over; consumers being priced out of various markets; appearance of overproduction in some areas and industries; declining exports; less pressure from Europe as crops and business productions increase; bumper crops at home; a decline in the rate' of savings; a drop in the unit volume of sales; pressure on the money supply by rising domestic production and high prices.

Ancestral Incident

C. C. Patrick, Patrick Lumber Co., Portland, sent us a memo of an incident which he states at the time created many a laugh. His reason for writing it is that one of his cousins was drawing up an outline of the family ancestors and thought a few incidents might enliven it, so he dug up the following:

"Edward Stow and his wife, Rosalind, were a most lovable and handsome couple. Friends called at the Stow residence one evening and Rosalind said: 'Ed, get a pitcher of cider while I get some cookies and cheese.' Ed obediently took a coal oil lamp in one hand, a pitcher in the other, and started down the cellar stairs. About half way down he ran into something left on the stairs and stumbled and rolled the balance of the way, but managed to land at the bottom lying partly on one side, with the lamp and pitcher intact, with the lamp aloft in his left hand, leaving his right hand and the pitcher in the shadow of his body.

"Rosalind hearing the racket immediately remembered the stuff she left on the steps and quite naturally, fearing for the worst, rushed to the top of the stairs and was so surprised and relieved to see Ed was all right that she ptammered in confusion: 'Oh Ed, did you break the pitcher ?' And Ed immediately said : 'No, damn it, but I will now,' which he proceeded to do by casting it against the stone wall."

Better Than Solomon

A rural colored school district in the South had one particular school that gave endless trouble. They changed from men teachers to women and back again, but it did no good. Always the kids made trouble for the teacher.

Until one day a bright looking young colored man applied for a teaching job and allowed he was willing to try a tough assignment. So they sent him to the rowdy school. He started in, a tall, thin, smiling young teacher. Strange to relate no bad news came from that school from then on, although the superintendent of education

kept expecting it. Finally he got in his car and drove over there. Three months had made a great change. The classes seemed in good order, and the school was evidently operating in efficient and workmanlike manner. But the biggest change was in the teacher. He was still confident and smiling, but had gained so much weight he was hard to recognize.

"FIow did you do it?" the superintendent asked him. "Easy, Suh," said the teacher. "Whenevah a pupil starts acting up, I eats his lunch."

Dow Reports Shrinkage of Building Dollar

According to figures released by the Dor,v Service, Inc., based on their reports from 150 American cities, building costs have increased 5 per cent since last March. Of that increase $485 went for higher labor costs, and $121 for materials. This was a reversal of the overall figures since 1941. Over the longer period the Dow experts reported the cost rise divided as follows : Materials, $4308; labor, $2424.

The California Lumber Merchant thinks these figures easy to explain. In 1941 building labor was getting excellent wages, based on economic conditions at that time, while the price of most materials rvas only creeping up

from the low levels of pre-war days. For the next several years materials showed continual increase in price levels until they reached their present altitude. Since last l\4arch material prices have increased very little as a whole, and in many items there has been no increase. Lumber. as an example, holds a slightly lower level today than it did last March.

The Dow report shows that a house that cost $6000 before the recent war, now costs $12,732. It also estimates that the number oT new housing unis, homes or apartments, started this year, rvill probably reach the negihborhood of one million, the highest in history.

Mason Memorial Scholarships

Chicago-Directors of Masonite Corporation have established five annual competitive college scholarships, each worth $750 a year, for children of employees in its hardboard plant at Laurel, Miss., as a memorial to William H. Mason, founder of the company.

Eugene Holland, president, in announcing the board's action, said a total of 20 students will receive substantial aid each year after the program has been in effect three years. The company's principal objective, Mr. Holland said, is to help promising high school graduates whose own resources would not permit them to attend college.

Winners of the annual competition will be chosen by an impartial committee on the basis of scholastic accomplishment, leadership ability, personality and financial need.

Scholarship holders may select the schools they wish to attend, and they will be under no obligation to the company either while in school or following graduation.

CaliforniaJoins 10,000,000 Population Clags

Washington, Oct. 2.-California has joined New York and Pennsylvania in the 10,000,000 population class, the census bureau reported Saturdav night.

Releasing provisional estimates for the United States as of July 1, 1948, the bureau said 31.1 per cent of California's 10,031,0@ had been gained since 1940, when the last official census was taken.

California's increase in that span is estimated at 3,124,00G-an advance of 45.2 per cent in eight years.

Pennsylvania passed the 10,000,000 mark in 1946 and New Yo:k cleared it in 1919. For more than a century these two states have been the most populous in the nation.

Total population for the country as of July 1 is esti-

Johns-Manville Holds Meeting

Seattle, Wash., Sept. 29-A period of stiff competition for the consumer's dollar is approaching as production, at its present rates, continues to make more and more goods available to the public, Harold R. Berlin, vice president and general manager of the Johns-Manville Building Products Division, told a meeting of the company's dealers and salesmen today.

Johns-Manville dealers, jobbers and salesmen from all over the Pacific Northwest gathered at the New Washington Hotel to hear company executives from New York

mated to be 146,114,000, as compared with 131,669,275 in 1940. The gain is 11 per cent.

The Bureau said 41 states and the District of Columbia increased population in the lg40-48 period, while only seven lost. In just two, North Dakota and Montana, did the loss exceed five per cent. The other five are South Dakota, Nebraska, Kentucky, Arkansas and Mississippi.

The list of stateg with July t, l9+8, estimates, official 1940 figures in parenthesis and the percentage change include: West south central: Arkansas, 1,925,000 (1,949,387), i.3; Louisiana, 2, 576,000 (2,363,880), 9.O; Oklahoma, 2,362,000 (2,336,434), 1.1 ; Texas, 7,230,60 (6,414,824), 12J.

Dramatic Tests Preceded lntroduction of Curtis Prespine

"Exhaustive and dramatic tests preceded the int:-oduction of Prespine, new Curtis wood product," stated E. J. Curtis, President of Curtis Companies Incorporated, in discussing this new Curtis product recently.

."Almost every conceivable punishment was employed by Curtis research engineers to make certain that the new product would match Curtis standards of quality. Prespine, for example, was'boiled for hours, then frozen immediately and dried at I4O degrees Fahrenheit. Other samples wel'e boiled and then dried in atmosphe:ic temperatures. Samples of Prespine were soaked eight weeks in water. In all these tests," Mr. Curtis stated, "Prespine came through to our entire satisfaction.

"Prespine also was exposed for several months on the roof of the Curtis research laboratory, undergoing punishment more severe than it would ever receive in actual service. In addition, Prespine panels were installed in doors which were then subjected to a long period of high heat and humidity. Samples in both tests showed very little change."

Prespine is made by a special Curtis process in the Clinton, Iowa, plant of Curtis Companies Incorporated. It is made from finely divided wood, to which is added resin and other ingredients for binder, and it is then pressed into panels. The color of Prespine is very close to that of the species of wood from which it is made. It is cut and machined like wood and made into door lranels for inter-

Quick Setting Glue Developed For \(/oodworking Industries

A new, quick setting, room temperature urea resin adhesive for the wood*orking industry that sets in 10 minutes has been developgd in the research laboratory of the Timber Engineering. Co.

Known as Colpres 10, the glue research was undertaken by the hardwood industry's Committee on Research Administration, an activity of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, to provide a type of glue that has long been needed.

Furniture plants and others will need no new, expensive equipment in using this adhesive. It sets at room temperature (75o F.) and the setting time is so responsive to temperature changes that the speed of cure can be easily adjusted to production line requirements. The glue is water resistant, non-staining and of great strength.

The adhesive is being introduced by the Timber Engineering Co., Washington, D. C., as a service to the wood industries for use with both hardwoods and softwoods. A bulletin of instructions for use is available upon request.

New Plywood Plant Operating

Operations at the newest United States Plywood Corporation plant, located at Shasta, Cal., will probably reach a production rate of 60,000,000 feet per year by January I, according to Lawrence Ottinger, president of the corporation.

The Shasta plant, which began operation on August 30, at full production r,r'ill manufacture as much pine plywood as the entire present production of other existing mills. lfowever, Mr. Ottinger stated, demand for pine plywood has always exceeded production by a huge margin, and even the Shasta output will not meet the demand. The total production of pine plywood when the Shasta mill is in full production will be approximately 120,000,000 feet as compared with two and a half billion feet of fir plywood.

The Shasta. plant has a floor space of approximately 130,000 square feet exclusive of the barking and veneer cutting section. The mill has back of it over one billion feet of the finest Ponderosa and Sugar Pine timber remaining in this country, located within 40 miles of the plant.

"The layout of the Shasta plant," Mr. Ottinger said, "is along entiiely new lines with mechanical loaders for the veneers. which are then carried to kilns instead of the usual automatic drives. The purpose of this is to better control the drying of the veneers and to remove the excess resin.

"The company has built modern bunkhouses and kitchens for its logging crews, as well as a beautifully located village with modern houses containing refrigerators, electric stoves and all modern conveniences.

"Fine plywood occupies a unique place in the industry because its soft, smooth surface takes paint or enamel without check or grain raise and the edges can be smoothly molded, both with and across the grain. It is expected that the plant will reach a capacity of 60,000,000 feet per anum on a 3/8" basis by January 1 and is ultimately keyed to approximately 75,000,000 feet. The demand for Pine plywood has alu'ays exceeded production."

Big Log Drive

New York-The story of one of America's few remaining big log drives will be told in pictures and text in the November issue of Argosy Magazine.

Photographers accompanied the rugged rivermen of The Diamond Match Company down ldaho's Priest River through 67 treacherous miles to get the pictures that iIlustrate the story of what may be the last drive of the company which delivered 26,000,000 million board feet of lumber to the sawmills.

"Now," the article says, "The Diamond Match Company is replacing the dangerously adventurous river run with modern trucks. Although more expensive, the trucking of logs reduces damage to valuable timber and supplements the company's other conservation policy-selective cutting for maintenance of [orests."

Since 1901 when logging operations were begun in the Priest River area, the annual drive has been a period of high excitement and great danger to the'crews who worked the "sixty most vicious miles of water used to transport logs." Except for the six weeks which the drive lasts, the crew works at the relatively peaceful job of lumberjacking.

Chcnge The Ncrme OI Arkanscrs

(Excerpt from the famous speech of Cassius M. Johnson in the Arkansas legislature.)

"Change the name of Arkansas? You may put your hand on the sun's face and make it night on the earth; bite a piece out of the moon and hurry the seasons; shake yourself and crumble the mountains; but, Sir, you will never change the name of Arkansas. The man who would change the name of Arkansas would massacre isolated communities as a pastime; he would destroy nationalities as a serious business. He would use the boundless fastness of the Great American Desert for his private graveyard. He would attempt to extract sunshine from cucumbers. Hide the stars under a nail keg; put the sky to soak in a gourd and hang the Arkansas River on a clothesline; unbuckle the belly-band of time, and turn the sun'and moon out to pasture; but you will never change the name of Arkansas ! The world will again pause and wonder at the audacity of the lop-eared, lantern-jawed, half-bred, half-born, whiskey-soaked hyena who has proposed to change the name of Arkansas !"

Iust The Hogs

A couple of Texas men went over into Arkansas with the idea of buying a big farm. A real estate man showed them a fine tract near the White River, good soil, and everything a farmer could desire.

But it was low land and.close to a creek. They observed on the trees about five feet from the ground, the marks of dark, rich mud.

"Looks like this land is overflowed in high-water time," said one of the prospects.

t'No, Suh," said the real estate man. "This land never is overflowed. Them marks is where the hogs come up from the bottoms and rub the mud off their backs."

"\Me've decided not to buy that land," said one of the Texans, "but we'd like to buy about six carloads of them hogs."

I joi.n with you most cordially in rejoicing at the return of peace. I hope it wiil be lasting, and that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason enough to settle their difrerences without cutting throats; for, in my opinion, there never was a good war, or a bad peace. What vast additions to the conveniences and comforts of life might mankind have acquired, if the money spent in wars had been employed in works of utility ! What an extension of agriculture, even to the tops of the mountains; what rivers rendered navigable or joined by canals; what bridges, aqueducts, new roads, and other public works, edifices and improvements, rendering England a complete paradise, might not have been obtained by spending those millions in doing good, which in the last war have been spent in doing mischief, in bringing misery into thousands of families, and destroying the lives of so many working people, who might have performed useful labors.-Benjamin Franklin.

Humor From The Sun Lumber Yard

The Sun Lumber Company, operated by the Burnaby Boys at Van Nuys, California, gets out a snappy little multigraphed house organ once each month, full of news and other matter of interest to its employees. In a recent issue of "Sun Strokes," as they call it, there is an article headed "Helpful Hints To the New Man," written by Don Montrose, one of the boys in the Sun offrce, which is full of good-humored reading. Here it is:

l-Always carry a book of gradirlg rules in your pocket, and always be careful to keep it carefully pocketed at all times.

.Z-It is well to remember that while knotless lumber is always clear, clear lumber is not always knotless.

3-Bear in mind that while common lumber commonly bears knots, non-common lumber is commonly without the bare knots that are common to the common lumber of the accepted grades of common.

4-A board that is either wholely knotty or wholely knotholey, should never be mixed with the other grades of knotty or knotholey lumber. Make it a rule that whenever you discover more than a single piece of these types, to lay them to one Side and consult your foreman at once . he will summon the ambulance.

S-When loading common lumber be very careful to examine BOTH sides of each and every board for knotholes. If the knotholes are only on one side and do not penetrate all the way through, you may safely place them

in the load, but should they be of the "through" type, it is always good Yard practice to throw them in a pile by' themselves and later, at a more convenient time, unostentatiously slip them into the incinerator. This n'ill make it wholely unnecessary to inventory them at the end of the year.

6-In the structural grades, from a strength standpoint, there is not a distinction betrveen knots and knotholes. Intergrown knots, or similarly tightly knitted knots, reduce strength quite as much as loose knots or knotless knotholes. While for appearance, loosely knotted knots and knotless knotholes are limited more strictly than tightly knitted knots or firmly knotted knotholes, nevertheless, if the loosely knotted knots and knotless knotholes are not outside of the allowable knot size of allon'able knots in the knot grading rules, and not incompa:able in strength to tightly knotted knots, then loosely knitted knots and knotless knotholes would be acceptable so as not only not to limit structural grades too severely, but to also provide a larger source of supply of this type of lumber.

Estimated Consumption of \Testern Pine Lumber for Fourth Quarter of 1948

Portland, Ore., Sept. 30-A report of third quarter 1948 manufacture and shipments of Western Pine region lum' ber and lumber products and an estimate of probable fourth quarter consumption were released today by W. E. Grifiee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association.

The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Associated Woods. The statement in full:

"An increasing number of consumer goods industries have taken the edge off their accumulated demand, filled their pipelines and are now operating at a level which is closely geared to actual consumption. At the same time some of the heavy industries, in spite of high labor and material costs, have been hanging up new production records. The Western Pine industry falls in the group which is making the new records.

"After a disappointing second quarter, during which much production was lost because of late spring s-now' rain and floods, nearly all the region's mills got into heavy production and cut a total ol 2362 million board feet of lumber during the third quarter. This was 14 per 'cent above the previous peaks of the 1941,1946 and 1947 third quarters.

"shipments of 2085 million board feet during the quarter were slightly higher than the normal relationship of shipments to production. These shipments were 201 million feet above the previous high in the third quarter of r94r.

"Mill stocks increased during the third quarter, as usual. The increase ol 277 million feet brings them to about 1463 million feet now. This compares with 1256 million feet a year ago and puts the industry in a better position to ship dry lumber to its customers, though stocks are well below those carried prewar when shipments were much smaller.

"The rate at which new housing units are being started has tapered off some the past two or three months but there is a record volume of home building now under construction. Heavy production and shipments by all softwood regions have made lumber buying, especially in the lower grades, somewhat easier than it was earlier in the year. Nevertheless it seems likely that there will be ready buyers for practically all the lumber our branch of the industry can ship during the next three months.

Srnce 1888

"Based upon all available information it now seems probable that during the fourth quarter of 1948 shipments (consumption) of lumber by the Western Pine industry will approximate 1896 million feet, or 10 percent over the same quarter of 1947. If realized, this will make the industry's total 1948 shipments about half a billion feet above 1947's record volume."
