By Jack Dionne

,r *-Chinese Press.

An old friend of mine is running for Lieutenant Governor of Texas. His announcement says that he is appealing for the votes of the wicked, tlne lazy, and the poor. He thinks if he lands those, that the combined votes of the good, the ambitious, and the rich will hardly be worth counting' :k :F ,.(

His idea is worth mulling over, for it is interesting. For fear of being dubbed a pessimist I shall not attempt here to estimate by what margin he would win the election; but it would be a long-shot in any horse race. That the poor outnumber the rich at least a hundred to one-we know. Just what the odds would be between the.wicked and the good, and between the lazy and the energetic, would depend on your Ot:".1a opinion of the human race.

f've forgotten who it was that said, "We are all of us in the gutter; but some of us are looking up at the stars." But whoever it was, I lik*e if *

Arthur Brisbane, famous newspaper man, used to say that all a man needed to become an outstanding advertising writer was a brain and a set of Shakespeare. He thought that a comrnand of language and the ability to use it intelligently were the great assets of an ad man; that Shakespeare could supply the command of language, but yorr had to furnish the brain

Advertising is as old as civilization. The rainbow, so the Bible says, was the first color ad, guaranteeing that the earth would never again be destroyed by flood. H. G. Wells, great historian, says that the original religious advertiser was St. Paul, raising his voice in Athens to proclaim his God, and acquaint the pagans with Him. When a mighty Asiatic potentate wrote in advance the inscription to be plaied on his own tomb reading-'rf am Cyrus -Oh Man !" he became the first great biographical advertiser. And the mighty Caesar, writing the proceedings of the Roman Senate upon the very walls of Rome, became the original political display ad writer.

ion instinctively comes to a man who has been reading the quoted words of Churchill for a couple of evenings, like I have. *{<+

I would offer to thinking people just here and now a bit of advice: treat yourself to a copy of a book published by Houghton Mifflin Company, of Boston, the "Maxims & Reflections of Winston Churchill." You will keep it all your life, and treasure it as a storehouse of magnificent thoughts, clothed in the finest English that any man has spoken since any man now living can remember. An ambitious advertising man could use that book as his textbook of vigorous, courageous, inspired language, and write himself some very fine stuff.* *

The book f mention is filled with quotations from the speeches and writings of Mr. Churchill, most of them brief, all of them filled with magnificent thoughts, couched in such words as only Churchill knows how to use. Truly he is a master word wrangler, and phrase raper. You read it slowly and thoughtfully, and the things he says stick in your mind. That's the test.

There is a forewora to tnJ ulot *ritt.r, by one of the authors, Colin Coote, which itself is worth the price of admission several times over, because he draws you a very unusual word picture of Churchill. It is an editorial, and essay regarding the staunch Englishman that helps illuminate the book that follows. He concludes his essay with these words: "The prayer in history which suits him best is surely the prayer of La Hire: 'Sir God, I pray You to do to La Hire as La Hire would do to You if You were La Hire, and La Hire were.God."'

Mr. Coote explain" tr,"l "l .t1"." Mr. Churchill, in his strongest phrases, comes close to taking for his own the famous words of men of earlier days, but adds, with truth, that all great thinkers, speakers, and writers may be so charged. For instance, Churchill's oft-quoted words that he spoke in England's darkest hour when he promised the British people "blood, toil, sweat, and tears," ring like the immortal words of Garibaldi when he said, "soldiers, what . I have to offer you is fatigue, danger, struggle, and death."

And when he said at that same time that Britain would "fight on the beaches, in the hills, in the streets," he could

Getting back to Brisbane's suggestion about the two have been taking a page from the French Clemenceau things needed to be a star advertising man, I have the when, during World War One, he promised the invading feeling at the moment that you could substitute the name Germans that-"I shall fight in front of Paris, in Paris, of Winston Churchill for that of Bill Shakespeare, and you behind Paris." Mr. Coote believes that the resonant elowouldn't weaken the combination in the least. That opin- quence of Churchill is terrifically alike to that of Cicero;

"Eat half as much, laugh twice as much, and you'll live longer."

You will thrill with patriotism as you digest the words of this gallant man. Early in the book he explains his own life's ambitions very tersely and very.plainly, saying, "I have always faithfully served two public causes which, I think, stand supreme-the maintenance of the enduring greatness of Britain and her Empire, and the historical continuity of our island life."

'F**

And I chuckled with admiration for the man's dominant thought-British loyalty-when he says, "I would make all boys learn English; and then I would let the clever ones learn Latin as an honor, and Greek as a treat. But the one thing I would whip them for is not knowing English; I would whip them hard for that." And he slyly adds that no teacher or professor ever succeeded in teaching him even a bit of Latin or OT.1 *

Sam Wood died the other day. And when he died suddenly, passing from high noon to dark night, he went as f am certain he would have wished to go. He had been a very warm friend of mine for many years. Ffe was a gifted and talented maker of moving pictures; one of the few great directors. The fineness of the man was refected in the movies he made. And in all of them there was to be found a plea for patriotism, for devotion to country and fag, for Sam Wood was one of the most patriotic living Americans.

*tF,F

I am mentioning Sam Wood at this time because he was one of the bitterest anti-Communists in this whole nation; one who hated the thing with a mighty hate, and fought it as he would fight a hydrophobia polecat. He was the outstanding leader of the active anti-Communists in the moving picture industry, and death came to him as he was attending a meeting of leaders in the industry who ape fighting a death battle against the inroads of Communism'

I learned much about Communism in Hollywood from Sam Wood in many private conversations on the subject I have had with him. He fairly spit fire when he mentioned them. He wanted to see every Communist driven out of this country with a whip of fire. He wanted to see the Comrnies in the' movies publicized and held up to public scorn. I have asked him in our talks to name the worst Commies in the movies, and he would reel off a list. That list went on my personal black list from then on. Never do f enter a movie theatre where the name of one of those men appears. I only wish it had been possibtre for him to publicly black-list them so that every citizen might enjoy staying away from every pcture they touch. But that time has not arrived, and now Sam Wood is gone, and his brave lips are sealed. It was .a bad day for the people of this nation and for the movie industry in particular, when Sam Wood died.

The other day I went to listen to a public address by another man who hates Com,rnunism and Communists,

and who pursues them with his hatred in every way at his command. He was Rupert Hughes, gifted writer, eloquent speaker, splendid thinker, and highly patriotic American. Mr. Hughes pulled no punches. He talked of Communists generally in this country, and Communists in the movie industry in particular. He named nannes, many of them; called them "traitors, scoundrels, low life dogs," and declared that he had called many of them that to their faces. He called on America to stop temporizing with these indefensible traitors and handle them as men should be handled who threaten the welfare of this nation.

He quoted J. Edgar Hoover as saying that there are today 825;0@ Communists, fellow travelers, and Communist co-workers in the United States. If you think things can't happen here, he said, remember that there were only 67,000 Communists in Russia when they seized all power in a. nation of over two hundred million people. He threw verbal rocks at the many ministers of the gospel in the United States who defend the so-called rights of Communists to speak in public against this government and in favor of Russia. That has happened of late. He asked how many of these preachers have stopped to think that in Russia today there are more than fifteen million people dying in boncentration camps, tens of thousands of them nainisters of the gospel, who tried to speak their honest minds and their religious beliefs, in Russia.

**:8

He fairly shot fire into the air of the room when he talked about Stalin. ("Good old Joe") He said that in all the history of this earth there has never lived so horrible a creature as Joe Stalin, who heads a government of butchery and .treachery. He said that Attila the Hun \ ras a kindly gentleman compared with the "foul, treacherous, murderous Stalin." He told with details of the deliberate killing by starvation of three mllion Russians under Stdin, followed by the deliberate murder of about three million more who died because they opposed wholesale murder by

While I am not now in business, I am still interested in what is happening in the lumber industry and enjoy reading your interesting "Lumber Merchant."

I have had access to it or iubscribed for it many years and am writing because of interest in your August lst editorial in which you mentioned that some day your ambition might overcorne your laziness and you would publish a book of your Vagabond Editorials. This would be a fine thing to do, but just for fear that your laziness might overcome your ambition, I have kept your editorials, Fun Facts Filosophy, and Favorite Stories for the past ten years and bound them in convenient volumes. I get a lot of pleasure out of reading them, especially because of the many changes that have taken place in the U.S.A.

Thanks for the many uplifting articles and may you continue to write them for many, many years.

He.e'" the right answer to wood. decay and termite problems-WOLMANIZED PressureTreated [.r'rn!rs1. It means better buildings for your customers, and additional, profitable business lor you.

Penetrating preservative eolutions are forced by vacuum-pressure treatment, deeply into the wood fibres of WOLMANIZED Lumber, to provide lasting protection under common conditions such as these:

L Where ercegsive ground moisture, raiu or thawg cause early decay lailures.

2. Where wood near the ground is open to termite attacks.

3. Where wood ig io conlact with damp concr€te or masonry.

4. Where gteam aad water vapor from industrial processes promote wood decay.

5. Where walls, Iloors, ceiliagrs are subiect to condensatlon lrom relrigeration.

6. Where wood is exposed lo moisture ia arfiIicially ftnnififiEd buil&ngs.

Investigations by qualified technologists prove that on installations where water, moisture, quick condensation and termites ordinarily shorten Iumber life, WOLIvIIINIZED Pressure-Treated Lumber lasts THREE TO FIYE TII{ES TONGER than untreated wood.

ffe compared political conditions in this country and Russia. He spoke of the Russian elections where there is no choice of names, just the one list. He told of a lovely young Russian girl who was heard to remark in public that it was silly to vote beca.use there was no choice allowed the voters. The next morning her corpse was found lying on her father's porch, a warning to those who speak against the pglitics of Ru*ssia. *

He tAlked about an American negro who is much in the news lately, who goes about reviling this country and praising Russia. He spoke of the taxpayers paying for thousands of police and other guards especially hired to protect that man while he spoke his Communist opinions. .He told of what this nation has done for the negro. How we fought a, four years battle that cost the lives of eight hundred thousand fine young Americans, just to set the negro free. And how this particular negro has won for' tune and fame under ani.* *l..lment. Yet he reviles it.

Mr. Hughes ended his address by calling on all good Americans to rise in their wrath and stomp Communism completely out of this country, and said that in his opinion we must either do that or we ourselves must plead guilty of disloyalty for failing to do our duty. He said, "We are ourselves as traitorous as Benedict Arnold if we don't rise up and drive the Communists out, and protect this nation."

The board of directors of the Timber Engineering Com' pany will also meet in New Orleans on October 25. It is expected there will be wide interest in the meeting of the Forest Conservation Committee, according to R. A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, because of the threat of Federal regulation of forest cutting practices in the Anderson Bill (S. 1820), which was introduced in the Senate last May.

Proponents of this far-reaching regulation have been working behind the scenes, Colgan said, and "an all-out efiort of industry will be necessary to defeat such legislation."

The Forest Conservation Committee will endeavor to develop a program to meet this challenge for consideration by the Association's Board of Directors at the annual meeting.

Included in the meeting program will be the annual election of officers, directors, and committee chairmen for the coming year.

Calilornia Lumbermen's Accident Association Submits Recommendations for Changes in Salety Orders

A. C. Blackman, chief of the Division of Industrial Safety, presided at a public meeting held in the Division's office in San Francisco, September 16.

Derby Bendorf, president of the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association, presented the proposed recommendation of the Safety Order Ccrnmittee of the Association to Mr. Blackman, who expressed appreciaion for the interest shown and the .lr,ork done by the industry, and rvho will notify the Association as to future procedure.

Mr. IJendorf spoke as follows:

Follorving up a suggestion previously made by the Division of Industrial Safetl , a committee from the California Lumbermen's Accident Irrevention Association was appoir-rted on September 13, 1948, to make a comprehensive survey of the causes of accidents in the forest products industry and to submit recommendations designed to aid the Division ir-r preparng a revision of existing safety orders applicable to the industry.

Our Association is extremely grateful for the opportunity offered. and it is cur firm belief that the procedure established in this instance opens up a netv era in the field of inclustrial safety which ca-n only resnlt in better understanding, cooperation and more sincere teamrvork betrveen the industry and state compliance agencies, all in the interest of accident preventicn and the public welfare.

In presenting our recommendations, we consider it weli that the Division be made cognizant of the entire scope of the Committee's deliberations.

The original committee was selected from the Associaion's membership group. However, before deliberations \vere commenced it was deemed aclvisable that the Committee be enlarged to include representation from the entire forest products industry in California regardless of affiliation with the Association. Subsequently, there was an appreciable response to this solicitation.

The Committee during the past year l.ras held numerous meetings in the various parts of the State, in the pine, fir. and redwood areas, as well as the metropolitan manufacturing and retail centers. It has been the policy at these meetings to call in from e.ach area well-known, experienced and practical men to take part in discussions. In all of our deliberaticns the Association has adhered to its established policy of having representation from top management, supervision ancl job level .n'orkers, alike.

The conclusions arrived at and appearing in the form of recommendations hereby submitted have their root in the experience of the Association in compiling and analyzing accident frequency in the numercus job classifications of the forest products industry over a period of many years, together with the valuable statistical data furnished by the Division of Labor Statistics and Research of the Department of Industrial Relations.

Recommendations submitted embody in a great part existent safety orders now found in the variou's codes applicable to the industry. The Division rvill find that in no instance have established minimum standards been rveakened. In many instances they have been strengthened. In addition, many new orders are being recommended to cover situations created l:y new equipment, methods and procedures u'hich were nonexistent on the date the present safety codes were revised.

The Asscciation is aware that it is the desire of the Division that insofar as possible or practical, there be a maximum of uniformity in industrial safety codes throughout the Western States. With this in mind the Committee ha.; strived in their deliberations to reflect this end in their recommendations.

The Association is of the opinion that because the forest products industry is one of the largest inclustries in the State of California, the cause of accident prevention rvithin the industry can best be served by having applicable safety orders embodied in one code to be titled "Forest Products Industry Safety Ccde" ; this code to replace among others the present "Logging and Sawmill Safety Code". With this in mind the Committee l-ras also atternpted to incorporate into their recommendations applicable parts of the "Proposed General Industry Safety Orders". The Division rvill find that in so doing the Committee l-ras closely followed the wording contained in the general safety orders in order to avoid conflict.

The advantages of eurbodying safety orders applicable to the industry under one cover are manyfold.

It is peculiar to the ir-rdustry that many companies' operations cover a u'ide field, including logging, transportation (either or both railroad and trucking) sarvmills, planing mills, remanufacturing plants, veneer and pulp mills, box shook, rvoodu'orking and by-products departments, shingle mills, etc., as rvell as retail yards and other such facilities. Compliance r'vith safety orders rvould be greatly facilitated and lr'ould in all probability more readily become an integral part of regular operating procedure if reference to the complete orders r,r'ere made easily accessible and understandable as reconrmended above.

It is the Association's position that if necessary funds are not presently available for the purpose, some means can ancl should be found to provide them.

The Associaticn in presenting these recommendations realize they come far f-.'om constituting a finished code. The Division of Industrial Safety will be faced rvith the task of revising, amending and perhaps adding many articles and sections to the propcsed code rvhich lvere inadvertently overlooked by the Committee. We are aware that other interested agencies must be given an opportunity to carefully scrutinize the many proposals and likervise offer suggestions and recommendations.

Advertising

Right now, as you read this, you may be sitting within a few feet of other men. If these men don't know who you are, you mean no more to them than a shadow.

They might recognize the paper you hold in your hand, but YOU are merely something not to be stepped on. You have no part in their world.

The world is too big a place for most of us to really live in. So, each person lives in a little world of his own-a world peopled with his family and friends, and supplied with such devices as he has seen and heard of and may some day use.

Our friends are simply those rvhose markings we recognize, and whose characteristics we know. This rule of acquaiptance applies to goods as well as to people. We buy the article, or the package, or the brand that we are familiar with because we know itjust as we nod and smile to the men and women we know, and ignore strangers.

The strangers we fail to notice may have better qualities than the people we know, but that makes

no difference. It is those rve know that we notice. (No pun intended.)

Same way with merchandise.

It has become the habit of the American people to consider advertising the proper and natural way for the maker of an article to introduce it to their acquaintance-and keep it there.

Advertising or not is NOT merely a question of selling goods or not; it is a question of how many human beings you are interested in know about the things that you make, know that they exist, know how and where they may be obtained in case of need or desire on their part.

An advertisement is primarily an introduction, and secondarily it is a salesman. It makes new friends, and holds old ones. It makes the public know your goods and regard them as friends.

To stop advertising is to stop making new friends, and also to stop greeting old ones.

And friends are precious.

The Home The Town Built

(The following is an original Jack Dionne poem, written more than thirty years.ago, and reprinted occasionally as a unique home booster. Read it, and hear it jingle.)

This is the home the town built. This is the home so clean and neat

That adds so much to the looks of the street, That makes the strangers wish that they Could take it along when they go away, And the neighbors are glad that everyone had A hand in the home the town built.

This is the youth with pep and vim, Clean, honest labor looks good to him, He is the one who owns the place

As you can see by his satisfied face, The property stands in his own name, To own a home is plenty of fame And he takes part in the village biz To hold up the value of what is hisFor this is the home the town built.

This is the maid so filled with love, Who makes the home like heaven above. Her work is play the whole day long, She fills the house with happy song, For the house is new and clean, you see And just as convenient as it can beFor this is the home the town built. But what is that army that stands outside And watches the house with looks of pride?

Why, they are the ones who helped to build This home. No wonder with joy they're filled ! They, too, deserve their place in the sun, For it is a wonderful thing they've doneConstructing the home the town built.

First, the ARCHITECT drew the plan, Then the lot was got from a REAL ESTATE man; The LAWYER found that the title was right, And the BANKER showed the money in sight; The LABORER dug the cellar so deep, The MASON made the foundation to keep The base for the BRICKMASON'S solid wall And the chimneSz above so straight and tall.

The CARPENTER bought from the LUMBER YARD All manner of wood both soft and hard, To make the'partitions, the shelves and the doors, The shady porch and the wide, smooth foors.

The ROOFER shingled (perhaps he tinned) And the GLAZER guarded against too much wind.

The PLUMBER saw that the water rvas right, The GAS and ELECTRIC men handled the light, The LATHER and PLASTERER covered the wall, And the PAINTER finished the last of all:

And then, deny it if you can, They called in the INSURANCE MAN. But these are just the ones who build, The house is empty and must be filled, So the rest of the town then takes a part To prove that each has a will and a heart, To make that house a HOME indeedAnd here is the rest of this jingly screed: The FURNITURE man gives a table and bed, A chair and a carpet on which to tread.

The DRYGOODS man provides the sheets And towels and napkins for the eats.

The CROCKERY man sets up a cup And a plate and dish from which to sup. The CUTLERY man then gives the tools, Knife, fork, and spoon, by fashion's rules. The HARDWARE dealer would think it strange If he could not provide the range Together with many a pot and pan That a woman needs to feed a man.

These are the men, if the house is small, Who help to build but they are not all.

If the maiden wants a PIANO to play

An ALARM CLOCK to waken her early each day, A VACUUM CLEANER, A PICTURE FRAME, A FRONT DOOR PLATE to hold her name. Then others step into rank and file

To make her house a home worth whileFor this is thc home the town built.

The GROCER, the BAKER, the seller of MEAT, The MERCHANTS who handle all good things to eat, The ICE and the MILK and the EGGS and the FOOD, The COAL and the CLOTHES and the GAS and the wooD.

The STOREKEEPERS handling all things she can use, The EDITOR telling the latest news, The PREACHER the LAWYER the DOCTOR the JUDGE,The MOWER OF LAWNS and the MAKER OF FUDGE.

There's hardly a soul in the town, you will find, Who hasn't some sort of connection to bind His personal profit and happiness through His part in constructing a home just for two. And every HOME in the town is the same, It's a wonderful work and a beautiful game, The TOWN is the gainer as well as the pair, For their comfort and ease make them permanent there. And every new dwelling that opens its door For a loving pair and their worldly store, Makes the town vrorth living in that mush rnqlsFOR THIS IS THE HOME THE TOWN BUILT.

"Quality First - Setving the Best"

Establishes Additional Plant In Canada to Make Etchwood

ly selected Douglas fir plywood in at one end and delivers it burnished to a satiny gloss with the hardwood grain gleaming in a raised relief that gives a three dimensional effect.

Becausse the softwood is brushed away leaving a hard surface, the plywood will take any finish economically and, in fact, can be merely waxed. Unlike many other decorative plywoods, there are no splinters or rough projections to contend with. The process delivers what is in efiect a hardwood plywood from Douglas fir.

Latest orders on a mass basis for Etchwood came from the Kaiser Home Development, following the decision of Architects Wurdeman and Becket to use the product in this huge home building project.

Celotex Duck

To illustrate the double-waterproofing of Celotex Insulating Sheathing, a whimsical little duck carrying an opened umbrella broke into the Company's trade publication advertising in June.

The duck quickly caught the fancy of dealers and builders throughout the country and has become a symbol of the super-waterproof properties of the Celotex product. Consequently, The Celotex Corporation has prepared two novel and effective sales promotional pieces built around this interest-attracting character.

The first of these is an attractive easel-type counter card attached to which are actual samples of Celotex I inch and 25i32 inch Insulating Sheathing. The card briefly tells the advantages of this quality building material. Supplementing the card is a small stamp bearing the likeness of tlre appealing little duck and gummed on the reverse side. These are available through request to the company in quantities for affixing to correspondence, invoices, etc.

Terrible Twenty GolI Tournament

\Vith the establishment of an additional manufacturing plant in Canada, Etchwood is norv available in quantity on an international basis, according to Norman Davidson, president of the Davidson Ply'ivood and Lumber Co., Los Angeles.

"Etchwood has proven even more popular than we imagined when we developed the process," Davidson said, "with tl-re result that demand increased by leaps and bounds. Our I-os Angeles plant was soon operating at capacity to fill orders from West Coast and Eastern points. 'Ihe nerv Canadian operation, plus nation-wide distribution centers, now makes it possible to ship economically to any point in the country.

"The great plywood industry of the West has taken a keen interest in Etchwood because of the way it opens hitherto untapped markets for Douglas fir plywood. As more lumber dealers and consumers discover Etchwood, the demand for Douglas fir plywood treated with our process will vastly increase."

Etchr'r'ood is the unique development of Norman and Jack Davidson, with Clifford McElroy. A huge machine, in which are set individually powered brushes, takes high-

The Terrible Twenty held its 280th golf tournament at the Oakmont Country Club, Glendale, on Tuesday afternoon, September 27, with Bill Ream as host.

Bob Osgood was the winner of the first prize, turning in a net 70 score. The second prize u'ent to Bob Mason witlr a net score of 71. The tie for first prize at the August tournament between George Lockwood and Clarence Bohnhoff was played off and was won by George Lockwood.

The October tournament will be played at Pebble Beach on the Monterey Peninsula.

Shingle Business Good

W. W. (8i11) Woodbridge, manager of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, Seattle, was a Los Angeles visitor around the first of the month where he spent a {ew days on business. He reports that the demand for red cedar shingles is better than it has been for the last three years.

Power Saw Aids Forest Progress

Appointed \Tholetale Distributor Of Masonite Products

Western Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, announces that they are now handling Masonite Products for wholesale distribution to the lumber trade.

The l\{asonite line has been added to other lines such as insulation materials, IJpson boards, and Sisalkraft.

These items added to the company's present line of softwood and hardwood plywoods, hardwood lumber and flooring make a completely rounded-out dealers' service.

Additional lines are in process of being added which will complete a one-stop dealer service.

The company's new Westhard solid Philippine Mahogany wall paneling is now being manufactured at their big plant at 2014 East 15th Street, Los Angeles 21. This Westhard paneling is the answer to the desire of many people to use solid hardwood panels for rich interior wall finishes in their homes. It will also appeal to architects for use in store interiors, hotels, and public buildings of all kinds.

A thousand things go to make progress in forestry; providing the more wood per tree today and promising more trees per acre for tomorrow. One of the things is the power saw Tor timber falling.

Ifere Forester Bill Eastman and Timber Faller Carl Petersen are talking about forestry and logging before the falling of an aged Douglas fir is started. fn their hands is section from a falling-saw chain, with its widely spaced teeth uppermost and its track-lugs pointing downward.

There are now 600 foresters and 12,N0 timber fallers employed by the forest industries in the Douglas fir region, (Western Washington and Oregon)-

Since the war the use of powered chain saws for the falling of big trees in the Douglas fir region has become general. Light metals, modern design, efifrcient motors, combine to make a tool that the most rugged conservatives among old loggers have accepted.

The labor-saving features of the power saw are well known. Where does forestry come into the picture?

All over the West Coast of Oregon and Washington there are large areas of early day logging on which the new growth has reached sawtimber size. Among these trees many huge fir stumps that were made 50 or 6O years ago still stand. Usually they are "two springboards" high, sometimes three. Even in the second growth of the I92O's and recent years the stumps left over from cutting with ax and muscle-powered saws still represent much loss of wood.

With the power saw, cutting is possible closer to the ground. This simply means a yield of more wood per tree in timber harvesting. Ground-level power-saw stumps give seedlings more light and room to grow, making more trees, more wood per acre, for tomorrow.

This is why Forester Eastman and Faller Peterson look at the cutting rig of the power saw with such pleased grins on their faces.

"Saves backaches, too," Carl Peterson says.

Lumber Dealer's Advertising Service

"More aggressive selling" is the timely keynote of the September, t949 Lumber Dealers' Advertising Service currently being mailed to retail lumber dealers throughout the United States. This latest issue is the seventh to be published by West Coast Woods since 1945. Requests for the increasingly popular free service have doubled during the past six months.

In the September issue 15 mats of one and two column widths and varying depths are featured. A layout suggestion section shows how the mats can be embodied in the dealer's own local newspaper advertising. Proofs of over 100 free mats, offered by. Wgst Coast Woods, are still available, as is a special dealers' mat service which stresses the "Build Your Home Now" theme.

Lumber Dealers' Advertising Service for September, 1949 ofiers other promotional material including posters, radio spot announcements and consumer booklets, and may be .obtained by writing West Coast Woods, 1410 S' W. Morrison St., Portland 5, Oregon.

Gus Hoover's Dcrughter Hcrs Twin Sons

Gus Hoover, of Los Angeles, received a telephone call from Vienna, Austria, on October 5th, notifying him that his only daughter, Mrs. Clinton ("Ole") Olson, had just given birth to twin sons.. Mr. Olson is with the Federal Government, and has been located in Vienna for the past year.

The surprising new arrivals give young-old Grandpa Hoover a fairly tight hold on the grandfather championship in Southern California lumber ranks. Mrs' Olson also has a young daughter, while the lfoover boys, Dick and Bob, have a total of six children. This gives Gus nine youngsters to call him "Grandpa." The Hoover sons are well known as salesmen for "GrandPa".

Revised Freight Rate Book And Freight Rate M.p

Lumbermen and lumber buyers throughout the country are complimenting the West Coast Lumbermen's Association traffic department for a record job of speed in production of a revised freight rate book and freight rate map and getting the information to the industry in trvo rveeks time.

When the final decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in Ex Parte 168 was handed down on August ll, 1949, it changed the freight rate structure on nearly 100,000 items. The lumber industry, both buyers and sellers, was in need of a fast and accurate job of compiling these rate changes.

K. C. Batchelder, traffic manager for WCLA, and his highly skilled stafi of traffic experts went to work at once. On August 29th, they had accomplished the monumental task of supplementing the freight rate book on lumber and had revised as well the handy reference map of the nation showing rates from the Douglas fir producing region to every section of the country. The new freight rate book and the revised rate map were mailed on that day. Even old time railroad rate men are amazed at the speed with which this staff handled such a mass of highly technical facts and figures.

"The attached map shows rates from the West Coast Douglas fir region of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia to points throughout the United States in transcontinenal territory," Batchelder said, "and reflects the revision in freight rates to the territory east of the Rocky Mountains. This is not a substitute for the rate book. but a means of arriving quickly at rate figures."

Batchelder indicated that the freight rate book compiled and published by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association is available to the lumber trade at cost. The freight rate maps may be obtained for a small fee on request and have been prepared in both the convenient letterhead size for salesmen, and in the larger I7x22 inch size for of6ce use.

New Solid Core Flqsh Door

Clyde crnd Kenneth Speer Now SoIe Owners oI Zenith MiU & Lumber Co.

A story typical of the American tradition of hard work and perseverance is that of Clyde and Kenneth Speer. Both men have spent their business careers with the Zenith Mill And Lumber Company of Oakland, California.

Upon the liquidation of the Company, Clyde and Kenneth combined their assets, purchased the Company interest and are continuing the business in the same name and tradition of this sxty-year-old concern.

The difference is that father and son are working as partner-owners rather than as employees.

\(/estern Pinc Production, Shipments Off

Ore., Oct. l-The following report of thircl quarter production and shipments of Western Pine Region lumber ar-rd luml>er products and an estimate of probable fourth quarter shipments were released today by S. V. Fullarvay. Jr., secretary-manager of the We,stern Pine association. The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine. Sugar Pine and associated woods. The statement in full :

"Although at this date, industry performance figures for the month of September are necessarily tentative, it is apparent that total regional shipments for the third quarter rvere almost eleven percent under those for the same l94E periocl. The estimated deliveries of 1,852 million feet during the third quarter brings the total regional shipments for tlre first nine months of 1949 to 4,56 million feet, or 11..S percent under those for the first three quarters of 1948.

"Production during the third quarter, norv estimated at 2,079 million, was almost fifteen percent belotv that of the same 1948 period. For the year to-date, a t.otal regional production ol 4,772 million is indicated. This is 12.3 percent under the output during the first nine months of 1948.

"Weather conditions, since last rvinter and early spring. ha'rre generally been excellent for r,i'oods and mill operatior.rs. The volume of business, although substantially lcu'er than that of a year ago, has lteen at a high level as compared to prewar demand. Apparently the industrv is operating at an annual rate in excess of six billion. The definite turn from a seller's to a buyer's market has meant that most mills, rvhich could furnish the quality of product demanded by the buyer and could produce at a cosi in line u'ith current market values, have enjoyed an excellent volume of business at near 1948 levels. The reduction in total regior-ral perfo:mance has largely resulted from the lou'er operating rate of marginal units and of units witi-l inadequate facilities to furnish customer requirements.

"As of September 30, 1919, total regional stocks are estimated at 1,880 million, up 167 million during the thirci quarter and up about 200 million for the year to-date, a rlsual seasonal trend. Unfilled orders exceeded 700 millicn at the end of September, the largest order file at any time over the past tl-rree years.

"The unit volume of home construction for the first eight nronths of 1949 was only a little under that for the samc 1948 period and'August starts exceeded those oi August 1948 by 11,000 units. Total dollar volume of all construction is ahead 200 million dollars. On the other' hand the predicted strike of the steel workers and the continuation of the coal \\'alkout are threats to the general economy. lfowever, based on all available information, it no\\r seems probable that, during the fourth quarter of 1949, shipments (consumption) of lumber by the Westenr Pine industry u'ill approximate 1,5O0 million, or about the same as those during the same 1948 period."

Fir-Tex of Southern California was recently appointed n'holesale distributor of Pabco Asbestos Sding. Stocks of this n-raterial are carried at the company's Los Angeles ar.rd San l)iego rvarehouses.

Pacilic Lumber Compcrny Improving Mill "B" ct Scoticr

'fhe Pacific Lumber Company's huge sawmill plant at Scotia, California, is made up largely of two sawmill units, located at opposite ends of the plant and about a half mile apart.

Up to the present time Mill "A" has been cquipped with three band headrigs and a big gangsaw, u'hile Nlill "B" had four band headrigs. At the present time one of the band mills is being removed from Mill "8" and a gang installed in its stead, so that in the future the trvo sawmill units will contain the same equipment.

This is, of course, the biggest Redwood sarvmill plant in history, and one of the largest mills in the world cutting any species. There will nou' be a total of six band headrigs and two gangsaws operating at Scotia.

E,ach of the sawmill units has a separate set of dry kilns, but the product of both mills goes to a central planing mill, and cther units for the remanufacturing of the lrrmber, and preparing it for market.

Chcnge to Western Sizes Boosts Scrles oI R.O.W. Window Units

"The volume of sales of R. O. W. Wood Windorv Units has increased considerably since the change to \Vesterrr sizes," according to C. H. (Chuck) Corwin, sales manager, T. M. Cobb Co., exclusive distributors of this line for' Southe;n California.

"Indications are that tl-re Western sizes are meeting with the general approval of dealers and contractors," he stated.

Two important features of the R. O. \\r. units are that the entire window can be removed for lvashing, and that the unit is completely weatherstripped.

Cement Movie

"The Drama of Portland Cen-rent" is the name of a 30minute sound and color motion picture released September I by the Portland Cement Association. Every step in the making of portland cement, from quarrying or dredging rarn' material to the packing operation is shorvn, and cement rnills in operation, as well as many notable concrete structures. The invention of portland cement by Joseplr Aspdin in England in 1824 is dramatized in the film.

The 16mm. film is available n'ithout cost to civic and business clubs, architectural and engineering colleges and societies, builder associations and church groups.
