How Lrumber Lrooks

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported that lumber production for the week ended October 17 stood at 123 per cent of the average of the corresponding week 1935-38, and shipments 127 per cent.

Production totaled 249,969,W feet, which was 5 per cent less than the previous week, and 6 per cent less than the corresponding week a year ago.

Orders booked were for 275,W,W feet, which was 1 per cent greater than the previous week, and 17 per cent greater than the corresponding week last year.

Seattle, Washington, October 15, 1942---The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in September (5 weeks) was L66,962,000 board feet, or 86.1 per cent of estimated capacity, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 1841758,000 board feet; shipments, 173,624,W0. Weekly averages for August rvere: Production, 174,173ffJ0 board feet (88.4 per cent of the 192G1929 aver age) ; orders, 197,583,000; shipments, 183,349,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 1,149,806,000 board feet at the end of September; gross stocks, at 577,869,W.

The end of September saw the West Coast lumber industry recording a 3 per cent increase in production for the 6rst nine months ol 1942, over the corresponding period of 1941. This is a record of triumph against the hardest con-

ditions the industry has ever contended with, particularly in shortages of tires, equipment and manpower. It is a record that contrasts with recent pronouncements to the effect that the industry is unable to supply the war effort.

While West Coast lumber yet faces a tremendous tide of war orders, the industry has gained strength in the past year to meet increasing war needs and new war uses for wood-soldiers' bunks, truck bodies, small landing barges, many types of heavy construction.

The Western October 17, 88 feet, shipments feet. Orders on 928,000 feet.

The subject of religion and its practical usefulness in time of war, is one of limitless application. Napoleon once remarked that he had always found Heaven on the side of the biggest armies.

)B**

During the closing days of the first World War when the shades were slowly settling down over Germany, Von Hindenberg was pacing the floor, his face the picture of anxiety, when one of his aides said to him: ,.Don't worry so, General; is not God on our side?', And the big man said: "Yes, but the Americans are on the British side." ,B rt {<

Many men of religious inclinations whose opinions I have heard and read during the past year, express concern that there is so little evidence of deeply religious feeling in this present terrific war; that we are giving our trust too wholeheartedly to guns, and not enough to God. Decidedly there are t\ ro sides to such an opinion, yet I have had that same feeling creep over me at times, especially when reading the history of former American wars. :f*:k

Men who think we are not putting enough God into our business of war making, usually point to the dependence that great American generals of days gone by have given to the spiritual side of fighting; such men as Washington, Lincoln, Lee, and many others, who, by their words of trust and humility conceded the Lord to be the strongest of their military allies, always.

This was particularly true of George Washington. That strong, serious man unquestionably believed sincerely in the practical and effective help of God in time of war, and manifested it thousands of times both by his words and actions during the dark days of this nation's first great war for freedom. And when success attended his arms, he gave the credit, first to God, and second to his gallant soldiers.

Most historians, tracin, ,n. ""*"e of that war of a new nation against seemingly impossible odds, believe that no

other man ever lived who could have performed the miracle of leading this nation to victory under the same conditions. Surely God must have sent George Washington to lead the American people into their chosen way of life, and gave him the genius, patriotism and courage to make their dreams come true. And truly, also, there must have been something besides Washington,s own great power that made that impossible victory, possible. No one can read the life and words of Washington and for a moment doubt that, in his own mind at least, the help and direction of Providence was what brought him through.

In the spring of, 1776, Washington wrote to Congress urgrng thern to find and send him chaplains for his army, saying: "The blessing and protection of I{eaven are at all times necessary, but especially so in times of distress and danger.. The General hopes and trusts that every officer and soldier will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier." Washington was a devout member of the Church of England, but he approved all religions. It is related that once during that long war he came upon a place where a minister of some other denomination was preparing to hold a communion service. Washington sent him word, asking if his service was confined to his own wor: shippers, or if men of other beliefs could join? The broadminded preacher sent word that his services were of God and not just for his own religionists, so Washington and many of his men attended and joined in the communion.

When Cornwallis surrendered, Washington sent this message to his whole army: "Divine service is to be performed tomorrow in the several brigades and divisions. The Commanden-In-Chief earnestly recommends that the troops not on duty should universally attend with that seriousness of deportment and gratitude of heart which the recognition of such REITERATED AND ASTOUNDING INTERPOLATIONS OF PROVIDENCE DEMANDS OF US.'' That victory seemed to him a direct act of God.

Something of the character of that great patriot will be found in the following words which Washington addressed to his troops just before the armies of Cornwallis laid down their arms and came forward to surrender: ..My brave fellows," he said, "let no sensation of satisfaction for

"Put your trust in God, my boys, And keep your powder dry.',

-Col. Valentine Blacker *,1.t

the triumph you have gained, induce you to insult your fallen enemy. Let no shouting, no clamorous huzzaing, increase their mortification, POSTERITY WILL HVZZA FOR US." Put that in your scrapbook, friends, to show what a great soul that man had. Is it any wonder that from such a Father of his Country so great a nation grew? Search the history of the world, and you find no loftier example !

And is it any wonder that the army now demanded most emphatically that Washington reorganize the government into some sort of constitutional kingdom, with himself as its head? And is it any wonder, likewise, that this great soul not only refused, but was absolutely indignant in his refusal? It was to secure freedom from governments of that type that he had dedicated his life. When you consider the extremities in which Washington found himself just a few months prior to the surrender of Cornwallis, it is not surprising that he looked upon that victory as an absolute act of Providence in the afrairs of this nation. Read his own words, written in May, 1781, and judge for Yourself :

"Instead of magazines filled with provisions, we have a scanty pittance scattered here and there in the difrerent states. Instead of arsenals well supplied, they are poorly provided, and the workrnen all leaving. Instead of having field equippage in readiness, the Quartermaster General is but now applying to the several states to supply these things. Instead of having the regiments completed, scarce any state has at this hour an eighth of its quota in the field, and there is little prospect of their ever getting more than half. In a word, instead of having everything in readiness to take the field, we have nothing." Remember, that was in May. Yet on October 19th, that same year' he took Cornwallis. fs it any wonder his soldiers worshipped him?

The philosophy and tolerance of Washington in the face of unjust attack at home, was exemplary. When in 1778 he was being bitterly criticized and assailed for so-called inaction against the enemy (his army was almost destitute of proper food, clothes' arms, and ammunition)' he wrote Mr. Laurens, then President of the Congress, and said: "My enemies know f cannot combat their insinuations, however injurious, without disclosing secrets it is of the utmost moment to conceal. But why should I expect to be exempt from censure, the unfailing lot of an elevated station? Merit and talent which I cannot pretend to rival, have ever been subject to it." His utter lack of ego shines plainly through that last line.

fn August, 1776, Washington sent the following notice to his army: "The General is sorry to be informed that

tle foolish and profane practice of cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto unknown in an American army, is growing into fashion. He hopcs that the officers, by example as well as infuence, will endeavor to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms, if we insult It by our impiety and folly.,,

You see, Washington f.lt"l "Jrrna"rr,ty and simply upon Providence as part and parcel of his armed, efrort, and, while history plainly shows that he was no prude or polly_ anna, he nevertheless was possessed of an absolutely straight-laced belief with regard to the Lord. He rejoiced that he was allowed to do a man's part for God and countrSr, and he resented any impious treatment of either. I-ater, in the war between the states, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and others evidenced much of the simple faith in a soldier's God that Washington did. Lincoln walked humbly with his God, and trusted him. Lee often said: ..We are conscious that we have tried to do our duty. We may therefore, with calm satisfaction, trust in God and leave results to Him.', And Stonewall Jackson, who won many battles in that war, invariably followcd a victory with this bulletin to headquarters: "God has blessed our arms with victory." :rrr*

We shall devote no effort here to discussing what hap_ pens when two leaders,-both men of lofty sentiments and possessing the calm assurance that God is with them because their cause is right-face one another in mortal com_ bat. Philosophers have worked that situation over since religion began. Nor shall we attempt to discuss the changes that have taken place since Washington practically forbade profanity in his arrny. Long before he left this earth there had arisen in this nation another great.American leader and fighter, Andrew Jackson, who was from eady youth one of the cussingest men in American history. Many other great American soldiers have been no_ toriously profane, although many of them were also pro-

foundly religious. For instance, Creneral phil Sheridan, tbe foremost cavalry leader of thc Union Army, was a thorough religionist but a whale of a cusser, and many a tale was told during ttre war between the states of the fury of Sheridan's tongue when aroused.

tFrl*

Conditions have changed since Washington,s time. Things are said and printed today that would never have been dreamed of among good people in colonial days. For instance, in the past few years the American people have made famous best sellers out of books that were crowded from cover to cover with crude, lewd, l,ascivious words. fn Washington's day such books would have been seized and burned.

:F{.*

At the close of the first World War the whole nation Iaughed at the story of the French woman who came to America to find and have a look at that American Madame (you loow what) who had so many sons in the American army. And so there is probably more cussing of a sort in our army today than there was in Washington's time; yet it is doubtful if our boys today are a whit less reverent of their God than were those men at Valley Forge, and at Yorktown.

{.{.*

Not long since I wrote in this column about prayers of soldiers who found themselves in mortal danger. From those remarks came many interesting responses, all of them from vets of the first World War. One of them gave the gist of a prayer he heard a buck private make when he was facing death in the Argonne, and it was one mass of sincere but explosive profanity. "And,,' said the man who told me the story, "that fellow's prayer must have had something good in it, for he went into the Argonne a member of a company of, 2X), and wag.one of 96 who came out alive six days later." .Being somewhat profane myself I got a great thrill out of that very successful prayer. And I am sincerely hoping that some of my friends got some exaltation from such words of George Washington as I have quoted. They were grandly inspirational to me.

Georye A. Pope Passes Away Maximum Price Regulation 109 Amended

George Andrew Pope, pioneer San Francisco lumberman and shipping magnate, passed away in St. Luke's Hospital, San Francisco. He was 78. He had been in his office on the previous day.

He was born in San Francisco, where his father, Andrew J. Pope, established a lighterage and transportation firm in 1849 with Frederick Talbot, who later sold his interest to a brother, Capt. William C. Talbot. In LVZS the pope & Talbot interests were sold to the Charles R. McCormick Lumber Co., but in 1938 they reverted to the original firm.

Mr. Pope entered the business following completion of his studies at Trinity School, which was located on the present site of the St. Francis Hotel. At the time of his death he was chairman of the board of directors. He was a director of the Bank of California, the Burlingame Land & Water Company and the Henry fnvestment Company. He was a member of the Hillsborough board of trustees f.rom 1926 to 1938.

Mr. Pope was a life member of the Burlingame Country Club and a member of the Pacific Union Club, San Fran" cisco Golf Club, the Brook Club of New york, California Historical Society and the Academy.of Sciences.

He is survived by his widow, a daughter, Mrs. Russell Dickson of Burlingame, and two sons, Kenneth of Los Angeles, and Capt. George A. Pope, Jr., with the euartermaster Corps at San Francisco Port of Embarkation.

Funeral services were held on October 19 in Trinity Episcopal Church, San Francisco, with Bishop Karl Blo& officiating.

Maximum prices for new "Aero Recovery" grades of lumber, from which pieces of aircralt quality can be "recovered" by remanufacture, were set up today by the Office of Price Administration in an, amendment to Maximum Price Regulation 109, which covers aircraft spruce lumber. The price of "Aero Recovery" grades, which, as a whole, do not meet the "American Specifications" for aircraft lumber, is governed by the amount of aircraft quality lumber which can be recovered from them. The prices specifically established by Amendment No. 2 are described as being in proper relation to those already established for "American specifications" lumber.

Maximum price per 1,000 feet of "Aero Recovery" Gradq I is $190; Grade 2, $130; Grade 3,990; Grade 4,950. Grade I is a minimum of 40 cents "A" cuttings and a total of "A" and "8" not less than 7O per cent; Grade 2, a minimum of 25 per cent "A" and a total of "A" and i'B" not less than 50 per cent; Grade 3, a minimum of 25 per cent "A" or 33-I/3 "A" and "B" or 50 per cent 1'B"; Grade 4, a minimum of.20 per cent "B".

The amendment is effective October 28.

Douglas Fir Lumbsv---limitation Ordcr L-218

Washington, D. C., Oct. 22, I942.-Douglas fir lumber produced from timber grown on the western side of the Cascade Range was placed under tight control today by the Director General for Operations with the issuance of Limitation Order L-218. The intent of the order is to channel the critical grades of fir into essential war projects, through a single orocuring agency.

The Central Procuring Agency of the Corps of Engineers is designated to exercise procurement control.

Conservation Order M-208, which established preference ratings for softwood lumber, ceases to apply to shipments from the producer of Douglas fir timber lying west of the crest of the Cascades after October 29, except for certain specified grades mentioned in the new limitation order. The exceptions named are No. 3 boards, No. 3 dimension or No. 3 timbers, and the grades of factory and shop lumber, plywood, veneer and used lumber.

Sales, shipments and deliveries by producers within the scope of L-218 may be made only to the Central Procuring Agency for the armed services and their agents, or through the WPB Lumber and Lumber Products Branch at the direction of the Director General for Operations.

Any Douglas fir lumber actually in transit on October D, when the order becomes operative, may be delivered to its destination. Lumber norv in the hands of distributors and retail yards still will be governed by M-208. The limitation on sales and deliveries will not be applicable to transactions that involve merely a delivery from one producer to another.

Douglas fir is at present the most critical species of lumber in the United States for rvar purposes. The drastic limitation order is designed to make the maximum amount of this species available to the armed services. It is presummed that other species will be substituted in most instances for less essential needs.

.Limitation Order L-218 follows:

Part 3116-Douglas Fir Lumber (Limitation Order L-2L8)

The fulfillment of requirements for the defense of the United States has created a shortage in the supply of Douglas fir lumber for defense. for private account and for ex-

Two Grand Soldier Stories Show Up

flere are two swell soldier stories. I grabbed them both off of big radio programs.

Bing Crosby had an Irish Catholic Chaplain on his Kraft program, just back from Australia, where he was stationed with the American army for the past several months. He told this one:

A lot of Australian and American soldiers were drinking and visiting in an Australian bar, and a fight started, the Australians lining up against the Americans. There were twelve Australians and six Americans. Our boys were doing their best but the odds were rough. Suddenly a big Australian shouted: "ltlait ment This isn't fairt

BACK FROM EASTERN TRIP

Walter S. Found, Merced Lumber Co', Merced, recently returned from an Eastern trip' He was gone about two weeks.

There are twelve of us and only six of them." So three of the Australians came over to the American side, and then, nine to nine, they had one grand fight.

(I claim there is some good psychology in that story.)

The other is a shorty that Al Jolson told on his Colgate program, that laid me in the aisle. He was telling how tough this top Sergeant was. This tough soldier was on his lcrees in a crap game. His money was down. He had the dice, and he had a 9 to make. "And" said Jolson, "he made it the hard way-THREE TREYS."

Wood For \Var

This Article Discusses the Manner in \(/hich \ffood, \0hich Suffered Most from Substitutes, Has Become the \7ais Outstanding Substitute

By Jack Dionne

Can you, dear reader, remember back to those "good old days" when the lumber folks used to gather together on frequent occasions and, leaning against the wailing wall while the salt brine trickled down their manly cheeks and softened up their starched collars, screamed with pain as they exchanged experiences and opinions regarding what the dad-blamed "wood substitutes" were doing to the poor and needy lumber industry? Do you remember?

It doesn't really require much of a memory, because for twenty years prior to the starting of World War Second, that was part of the program of practically all lumbermen meetings. Yes Siree ! The substitutes for wood were blamed for all the innumerable ills the lumber industry fell heir to; and what an heir this industry always was. It was agreed at all times and upon all occasions that the manufacturers and distributors of wood substitutes were a bunch of snakes in the grass, lacking all the essentials of fair play in their business operations, who were continually insinuating their inferior wares upon buyers of building materials in place of good old reliable, but de{enseless wood.

I recall that often I would retire into a quiet corner where no lumber advertiser could possibly hear me, and would say to myself : "based on their own testimony, these lumber folks are allowing the substitute salesmen to replace wood with inferior stuff, so it must be simply a case of superior merchandising," I'd say to myself. Well, anyway, that's past history. I didn't start smacking this typewriter to chide my lumber friends about whether or not the substitute boys used to outsell them; I started it to relate in some rather brief fashion how wood, once the much substituted material for building purposes, has by dintof the war €mergencies, become the world's greatest, most powerful, most general, most elastic, and most useful substitute. Right now wood lays undisputed claim to being just that-and then some.

Talk about a substitute that IS a substitute. The lumber industry used to base its claim for damages against the substitute folks because they cut under wood for building purposes. But the time has now arrived when wood not only substitutes for other materials for building purposes, but in addition it substitutes for a thousand and three (I figured the total out myself) materials of that many different kinds and character, far removed from simply building and construction uses. Fact. Wood today, not only substitutes for all other possible building materials of normal times, but it substitutes for human food, animal food, clothing, motor fuel, motor lubricants, war explosives, surgical materials, coloring materials, rub-

ber, flour, glass, photographic supplies, dyes, alcohol, etc., etc., and a thousand more and-so-forths. No exaggeration. Wood does. Wood is. Wood will. It has proven to be the most flexible, the most adaptable of all the materials entering into the preparation of this monster war effort.

When this here war is over the growers and makers and processors and manufacturers of wood will never again have to take a back seat in any company. Steel and oil must take the second row. Step back, men, don't crowd, but make room for the new champ war materialwood !

Where do I get my dope-my info? To start with, from thousands of newspapers and magazines all over the land which now devote so generous a quantity of their space and their news and editorial columns to the praise of wood. A pile of clippings of that sort face me as I write, the majority of which are reports of official statements of a thousand sorts that have to do with the use of wood in places where wood was never previously employed. Yotr've all seen and read them every day since we started our war effort; and they have, like rabbits, increased and multiplied as the tension of war production progressed. Particularly I am referring, as I tickle the typewriter, to a pair of manuscripts that sort of boil down into compact and impressive form all the other things that all the others have said.

One of them is the text of an address made recently at the Hoo-Hoo annual in Milwaukee by Mr. Carlisle P. Winslow, director of the United States Forest Products Laboratory, in Madison, 'Wisconsin, which, as you all know, is one of the greatest institutions of its kind in the world. Germany, in its scientific search for substitutes for almost everything, may have progressed farther in certain wood investigations than our Madison laboratory. But certainly no one else has. The other manuscript f refer to is an article that appeared in the September 5th issue of The Saturday Evening Post, entitled, "Nazi in the Wood Pile," and written by Dr. Egon Glesinger, a world renowned forestry expert. Mr. Winslow tells what we are doing in America to find new uses for wood, and the marvelous progress that has been made and is being made now, to substitute wood for thousands upon thousands of other commodities made scarce by the war. D.r. Glesinger tells what Germany thinks of wood, and what Germany was doing toward cornering the world's wood supply when the war started, and lastly, what Germany is doing wlth forest products now to help her win the war.

The things Mr. Winslow tells about are very wonderful things; not as startling as some of those in the German

forestry story, but breath-taking nevertheless. All those who read lumber things know of the general uses to which unheard-of quantities of lumber and wood have been put during the last year or so, the army camps, navy bases, shipyards, ships, cantonments, hospitals, flying fields, storage buildings so big you couldn't get one of them into a picture without using a panoramic camera, planes, trucks, vehicles of every army sort, containers of shipping arms and ammunition (seven billion feet this year for that alone),, literally countless uses for wood, many of them places where wood always was used, many where wood was never used before. Also he tells of wood for new things, for replacing steel, iron, and other metals; wood for hangars, scaffolding, wharveS, bridges, pontoons, ties, poles, props, anti-tank barriers, shoring, shelters, blackout shutters, patterns, lockers, surgical dressings, cartridge wrappers, gas-mask filters; wood to replace cotton and wool, wood for clothing, wood for parachutes, for shrapnel, for flame throwers, for photographic film, wood for shatterproof glass, wood for molded articles of war construction; wood for insulation, for dynamite, wood alcohol for rubber, etc.

Mr. Winslow says they are treating, twisting, laminating, and otherwise controlling the shape and strength of wood in order to make it serve war purposes that were never dreamed of two years ago. Just to make these things of lumber is not even considered. The laboratory does it all. Sawdust properly processed makes a cheap black plastic that has innumerable war uses. The laboratory at Madison has perfected an improved paper-base plastic equaling aluminum in tensile strength,on a weight basis, that is doing wonders in airplane construction.

Mr. Winslow's talk opened up a new world for wood uses, to those who heard him, or who read his words. When this war is over, wood will have come into a place far removed from shiplap and dimension and the rest of the tree down the burner. The experiments they have been making and the things they have been developing are only a starter.

But the German forestry story is even more sensational, because the substitution of wood by the German, .o.,,.r, a more unexpected range of items and uses. This Dr. Glesinger says that Goering is the father of the universal use of wood in Germany, and that back in 1928 Germany began sewing up European forests for their own use. He says that the meat and vegetables and fats that the Nazis

have been taking from the conquered nations and sending to Germany, is not as important as their wood importations; that all over Germany wood processing laboratories have been springing up, developing wood as a substitute for innumerable war needs that Germany cannot get otherwise. Here are some of the developments recited in this article as already accomplished by the Germans: they make wood flour that fattens their hogs and other stock; they have 500,000 trucks and cars operating on the highways on wood products, in some wood blocks being burned in special cylinders on the car, while in others they use gas made from wood; wood is being used to make high test alcohol for the preparation of explosives, and also of synthetic rubber; wood is being used to make heavy lubricants, raw sugar, cellulose for cattle fodder, fiber for clothing, and plastic for airplane construction. They make food, clothing, shelter, war essentials, and transportation essentials out of wood.

Dr. Glesinger says they consider wood so universal a commodity that they have a special name for it, "IJniversalrohstoff," which means a material that can produce anything. The forests of Europe, he says, are more essential to Germany's war effort than any other wealth Hitler has siezed from the conquered countries. An interesting deduction.

All of which, delivered as generalities only, seem to bear out our opening declaration that wood has become the greatest ofall substitutes; and that the end of its discovered usefulness is not in sight by any means.

Stuart Smith With OPA

Stuart Smith, Fountain-Smith, Los Angeles, left for Washington on October T2 where he will be with the Lumber Division of the Office of Price Administration for the duration.

Stuart has been connected with the lumber business in California for many years where he is widely known in lumber circles. He worked in the woods and in the mill for the Coos Bay Lumber Co. and was on the road for them in California a good many years before going into the business for himself, first as a retailer and later as a wholesaler.

He was associated with Ed Fountain for the past three years, who will carry on the business of Fountain-Smith as the Ed Fountain Lumber Co.

Effective November l, 1942, Schafer Bros, Lumber & Shingle Co. will be the exclusiye sales representative of the Aberdeen Plywood Corporation for the state of California.

The Aberdeen Plywood Corporation, of Aberdeen, Wash., was incorporated April 25, 1940, and the following served as officers : president, Albert Schafer, Montesano; vice-president and general manager, V. A. Nyman, Aberdeen ; treasurer, Roy K. Purkey, Aberdeen; secretary, Carl A. Schafer, Montesano.

The following comprised the board of directors: Albert Schafer, Montesano; V. A. Nyman, Aberdeen; Roy K. Purkey, Aberdeen; O. P. Lewellen, Woodland; F. H. McCready, Aberdeen; Ed Lundgren, Aberdeen; George Gauntlett, Aberdeen.

There were 30,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $10.00 per share, and 20,000 shares of common stock authorized, par value $10.00 per share, all of which was subscribed by local residents.

Construction of the piant was started on June 12, 1940, and operations commenced on October 15, 1940. The plant is unique in its construction, due to the use of ArchTeco trusses which eliminate many posts inside the building, leaving more room for the operation of the machinery.

The mill is equipped with one large lathe and a small lathe for the re-peeling of cores to 5 inches in diameter, three Coe dryers, two hot presses, three saws, two 8-drum sanders, barking machine, taping machines, jointers, hot press patching machine, plugging machines, patch cutting machines, and all other machinery necessary.

Production is now averaging 6,500,000 feet per month on a fi-inch basis, and all efforts are being concentrated on the manufacture of XTERIOR outside plywood for

1893 as a logging operation only, and has since branched out into a large manufacturing concern.

Schafer Bros. Logging Co., which isstill the parent company, was founded by Peter, Albert and the late Hubert Schafer. Their first logging was on their own homestead in the Satsop Valley, and was done entirely by oxen. In l9D, they acquired 890,000,000 feet of Olympic National Forest timber in the Satsop River area, about forty miles north of Montesano, which consists of a mixture of Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Cedar, Spruce and White Fir, and there, in cooperation with the U. S. Forest Service, they are cutting under the "selective logging" system with the most modern type of machinery.

Schafer Bros. Logging Co. is one oI the principal peeler log suppliers of the Aberdeen Plywood Corporation. Their Olympic logging operation is one of the few remaining bodies of timber which produces a sizable volume of old growth lumber suitable for the type of lumber most needed for our present war effort. John Schafer is in charge of their logging.

Their sawmill, Mill No. 4 at Aberdeen, is running two shifts and producing approximately 8,000,@0 feet per month of Fir, Hemlock and Cedar. Carl Schafer is in charge of this operation.

Peter Schafer is president and Albert Schafer, secre-

tary-treasurer, of Schafer Bros. Lumber & Shingle Co. The head office is at Aberdeen, 'Wash., where Ed. P. Schafer is in charge of all sales covering both manufactured and wholesaled products.

Wholesaling of forest products is an important part of their organization. In addition to handling the entire California output of Gardiner Lumber Co., Robert Gray Shingle Co., and Aberdeen Plywood Corporation, a large volume of business is done with other lumber companies. A buying office is at Reedsport, Oregon, which is managed by Ray Schaecher, who is in constant contact with the bulk of mills located along the Oregon Coast and Willamette Valley.

Schafer Bros. Lumber & Shingle Co. have been large shippers of lumber and shingles into the California market for many years, and they have sales offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco. P. W. (Bill) Chantland is manager of the Los Angeles omce, assisted by J. R. Klots and M. R. Gill (the latter now in the armed service), and the San Francisco office is managed by Floyd W. Elliott, assisted by C. T. Gartin.

IJntil recently the company operated their own coastwise steam schooners-the SS Anna Schafer and SS Margaret Schafer-both of which are now in the service of the Government.

THE FLAG GOES BY

Along the street there comes

A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky; Hats off!

The flag is passing by!

Blue and crimson and white it shines, Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines. Hats off !

The colors before us fly; But more than the flag is passing by.

Sea fights and land fights, grim and great, Fought to make and to save the state: Weary marches and sinking ships; Cheers of victory on dying lips;

Days of plenty and years of peace; March of a strong land's swift increase; Equal justice, right and law, Stately honor and reverend awe;

Sign of a nation, great and strong, To ward her people from foreign wrong: Pride and glory and honor-all Live in the colors to stand or fall.

Hats off !

Along the street there comes

A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums; And loyal hearts are beating high;

Hats off !

A LETTER FROM COUNTY CORK, IRELAND

Tom Dreier says the following letter actually came frorrr a friend in County Cork, Ireland, and while it may have been done by a professional humorist, it sounds genuine enough, and was addressed to a cousin in Canada:

"Your welcome letter received by me and your Aunt Bridget, thank you kindly for the money you sent. We have had seven masses said for your grandfather and grandmother, God rest their souls. You have gone high places in. Arnprica, God bless you. .I hope you'll not be pgtting on airs and forgetting your native land. Your

cousin, Hughie O'Toole was hanged in Londonderry last week for killing a policeman. May God rest his soul and may God's curse be on Jimmie Rodgers, the informer, and may he burn in hell. God forgive me.

"'We had a grand time at Pat Muldoon's wake. He was an old blatherskite and it looked good to see him stretched out with his big mouth shut, at least he is better dead and he'll burn till the damn place freezes over. He had too many friends among the Orangemen, God curse the lot of them. Bless your heart, I almost forgot to tell you about your Uncle Dennis. He took a pot shot at a turn coat from in back of a hedge, but he had too much drink in him, and missed. God's curse be on the whiskey.

"f hope this letter finds you in good health and may God keep reminding you to keep sending money. Father O'Flaherty who baptized you is now feeble minded and sends his blessing. Nellie O'Brien, the brat you used to go to school with, has married an Englishman. She'll have no luck. May God take care of the lot of you and keep you from sudden death.

Your Devoted Cousin,

Timothy.

"P. S. Things look bright again. Every police barracks and every Protestant Church has been burned to the ground in County Cork. Thanks be to God.

"P. S. Keep sending money."

A SERMON FOR SPEEDERS

Rev. L. C. Miller, of Manitou Springs, Colorado, is reported to have preached a safety sermon to his congregation, in which he said:

"Our highway traffic has become so unsafe that the moment a person drives ulrcn a public thoroughfare, if he has any regard for his future abode, he should sing softly and seriously as the speedometer climbs upward, the following h5rmns:

At 25 miles per hour-

"I am But a Stranger Here, fleaven fs My I{ome."

At 45 miles per hour-

"Nearer My God To Thee."

At 55 miles per hour-

"f Am Nearing the Port and Will Soon Be at Home."

At 65 miles per hour-

Two Amendmcnts to Conservation Order M-208

Washington, D. C., October 20, 1942-Two amendments to Conservation Order. M-208 covering softwood lumber were announced today by the Director General for Operations.

One (Amendment No. 3) tightens restrictions on use of the higher stress grades of softwood lumber by raising the minimum rating required for Class 2 orders from'AA-5 to AA-4.

The order as originally issued limits the use of various grades of softwood lumber by dividing purchase orders into four classes, depending on the level of preference ratings.

The grades of lumber which may be used to fill Class I orders require preference ratings of AA-2 or higher. The effect of today's amendment is to limit the grades of lumber used to fill Class 2 orders to preference ratings of AA-4 or higher. At the same time, the top rating for Class 3 orders becomes AA-5 instead of A-l-a. Definition of Class 4 orders is'unchanged.

Under Amendment No. 2 to the order, issued October 5, L942, lumber users are required to apply to their purchases any rating which may have been assigned to them as a project rating, on a PD-IA application, under the Production Requirements Plan or otherwise. M-208 as amended assigns ratings for various use.s of lumber only in cases where no other rating has been assigned.

Amendment No. 4, also announced today, defines a softwood lumber "producer" as "any plant which processes, by sawing, edging, planing or other comparable method, 25 per cent or more of the total volume of logs and lumber purchased or received by it, and which sells aS lumber the product of such processing."

The previous definition was construed in some cases to include among producers such establishments as millwork plants, furniture factories, box factories and the like which process lumber in such manner as to convert it to another product. This was not the intention of the order. Only plants processing 25 per cent or more of the lumber they receive and selling their product as lumber are defined as producer under today's amendment.

Buyers on Class 2 orders, as defined in M-208, may purchase Southern Pine, Douglas Fir and Western Larch which meet a specification of 1400 to 1600 fiber stress. It is these grades which will be conserved by today's amendment requiring higher minimum preference rating for Class 2 orders.

D. J. Cahill Passes On

D. J. Cahill, president of the Wiestern Hardwood Lumber Company, Los Angeles, died suddenly on October 13 after receiving the Maritime Commission's "M" pennant in ceremonies at Terminal Island.

The "M" award was presented to his company and the P. J. Walker Co., a joitrt venture performing joiner contracts for the U. S. Maritime Commission, in recognition of their production achievement. Mr. Cahill had just finished his speech of acceptance when he suffered a heart attack, passing away almost instantly.

Mr. Cahill was born on a farm in Nebraska seventyfive years ago, and his early education was acquired in the rural school district in which his home was situated. At the age of twenty, due to failing health, he found it necessary to move west to Colorado. He settled in Denver, continuing his educational activities and became associated with the railroad industry. Through his contacts soliciting freight for the Missouri Pacific Railway Company, he became interested in the lumber business and left railroading for a new field that was to become his life's work. He secured an interest in The Hardwood Lumber Company of Denver. In 1906 it was decided that a branch yard would be opened on the Pacific Coast, and Mr. Cahill came to Los Angeles to handle this new development. This led to the acquisition of the 'Western Hardwood Lumber Co., a small, struggling firm that had been organized, in I%JZ.

The Western Hardwood Lumber Co.. under this new rnanagement, launched immediately into a far-reaching search for the best hardwoods in the distant forests of the Orient and other parts of the world to meet the urgent demand for hardwood lumber in this territory. A hardwood sawmill was erected at Los Angeles Harbor, and through the able management of Mr. Cahill and the close cooperation of the Robert Dollar Compahy, imported hardwoods were introduced into Southern California for the first time in 19O7. Up to that time nearly all hardwood lumber used in this market was secured from Eastern mills. From that time on, hardwood logs continued to come in from Japan, Central and South America, Mexico, the Philippines, and other South Sea Islands, and were manufactureid intci many varidties of luinber and veneers. This industrial activity had a stimulating effect on the development of Los Angeles Harbor because the tonnage of hardwood logs cgming to this port was of sufficient consequence to-induce.,the steamship operators to load other cargo in the Orient for discharge at Los

Angeles Harbor, that would subsequently be trans-shipped east by rail.

World War f, through its demand for ships on the Atlantic Coast, forced the closing of a part of this operation, but the distributing yard continued to grow and has become one of the leading hardwood distributing businesses of the country, and its organization reflects the energy, ability and intelligence of the man who was the active head through all the years of its growth.

Mr. Cahill was a past director of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, the second president of the Pacific Coast Hardwood Distributors Association, and up to the time of his demise was first vice-president of the National Wholesale Lumber Distributing Yard Association. These last two organizations he helped to found and actively participated in their developrnent. His intimate association with local, state and national organizations that carried the cudgel for the betterment of the industrial and social life of the nation is a matter of record that covers many years.

His desire to be of maximum assistance to his country during this present period of danger forced the activities of the Western Hardwood Lumber Co. into the position where one hundred per cent of its present production is for the war effort, and it was while he was in the act of receiving recognition from the United States Government through the Maritime Commission for his outstanding accomplishment when death laid its heavy hand upon him. The last paragraph of his speech of acceptance exemplifies the spirit wlth which he was so generously imbued. He said:

"f feel that I can speak for each man and woman who has had a part in this production achievement, so generously recognizedby the Maritime Commission, that this is but an earnest of what we shall, with the help of God, continue to do, only with intensified fervor and increased results, to the end that our enemies may be speedily crushed, and the abomination of war banished from the land; and may God speed the day when the homes and firesides of free and liberated peoples everywhere may be forever relieved from the terror of desecration by hirelings of brutal agg'ressors temporarily self-inflated by visions of world domination.,, In the passing of D. J. Cahill we have lost a great man. Great because of his simplicity, because of his never-tiring efforts and his willingness to discharge every respons- bility that belonged to him.

Mr. Cahill was a member of the Jonathan Club, Los Angeles Country Club, Chamber of Commerce, and a fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Honora Cahill, and two brothers, Daniel and James Cahill, both of Los Angeles.

. Requiem mass was celebrated rit 10:00 a.m. at St. Bren_ dan's Church, Los Angeles, on October 15.

Form PD-lx---Distributors' Application lor Pre]ercnce Rating

Lumber dealers who need priority assistance to purchase softwood lumber for use in important war and civilian construction may now apply to the War Production Board on Form PD-IX, WPB'S Distributors' Branch announced today.

Conservation Order M-208, rigidly controlling distribution and use of all types and grades of soft lumber, imposes restrictions on the extension of preference ratings for replacement of inventories. The Distributors' Branch will give consideration to applications filed on Form PD-IX by dealers whose inventories would be of direct service to the r,!/ar program.

Lumber dealers were cautioned by Distributors' Branch officials to read the softwood conservation order, as amended, before executing Form PD-IX, and were warned not to ask for priority assistance on purchase orders to which ratings may be applied within the restrictions of M-208. Any apparent duplication will require full explanation, and may retard the processing of an application.

The following instructions were issued to guide lumber dealers in executing their applications on Form PD-IX.

1. In "department" (upper right), write Softwood Lumber.

2. In Section II, (a) and (b), show figures for the department (softwood lumber) or total business (all lumber not including millwork and specialties) and indicate on form whether department or total.

3. In Section III (Columns A and B) it is not necessary to break down the sizes. Indicate the species, grade and whether timbers, dimension or boards. Footage instead of dollars should be shown in Columns A, C, D and E, and dollars in Column F.

4. Section IV is to be used for supplementary information which will assist in consideration of the distributor's participation in the war program. Applicant may show, in this section or in a supplementary letter, any additional information which he believes will aid in giving full consider-

ation to his application. This information should include:

a. Type or class of trade served (In some detail).

b. An explanation where need is based on unusual demand.

c. Figures to substantiate where need is based on seasonal demand.

d. A statement of facilities available for remanufacture'

e. A breakdown of shipments out of inventory during the previous 90 days on a dollar value or footage basis, indicating the percentage of total in the following classes: AAA

Class 1-A4.1, AA-2, Class 2-AA-2 to AA-4, Class &-A-l-a to A-l-k, Class 4-A-2 or lower.

f. A brief statement showing why preference ratings are needed to secure quantities and grades for which application is made.

Distributors execute three copies, retaining the third one and sending the others to the Distributors' Branch, 'War Production Board, Temporary.Building E, Washington, D. C. If the application is approved, one copy of PD-IX will be returned to the applicant showing the quantity of materials authorized and the rating which may be applied. The distributor retains this form, and may apply the rating by endorsement in the manner prescribed.

Lumber Merchants of Northern California Hold

Third Annual Convention at San Francisco

The third annual convention of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California was held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, October 16.

President Ray Clotfelter presided at both morning and afternoon sessions.

Secretary Bernard B. Barber in his report at the morning business meeting stated that the directors had voted to increase the dues at their meeting on Thursday evening. The membership, he said, has increased to 336, in spite of a loss of 21 members, mainly as a result of liquidations. He asked members to cooperate when asked for information and urged each member to see that every lumberman in his district joins the Association.

The secretary reported that the Association's field man, Bob Wright, is now a Lieutenant, Junior Grade, in the Navy. He conclucled by expressing his belief that conditions will get better for the retail lumberman and that the industry will weather the storm better than had been anticipated. He mentioned that the N.R.L.D. is attempting to get Order M-208 amended in the matter of replacement of stocks and recommended recognition of this work in the form of a resolution.

A resolution was passed expressing the Association's appreciation of the invaluable efforts of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association in behalf of the retail lumber industry.

The remainder of the time before adjournment was devoted to a round table discussion of Association activities and matters of vital interest to retail lumbermen.

W. K. Kendrick, Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, in a brief talk on conditions, said dealers have got along surprisingly we1l. IIe commended the excellence of the summary of the industry's problems printed on the last two pages of the convention program.

Keuneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association, San Francisco, was toastmaster at the luncheon, which drew a large attendance. In his opening remarks Mr. Smith, taking a quick look into what he thinks the post-war situation Will be said that building will be the most exciting thing in the country after the war; that wood will have to compete with many new materials, and that there will be much Federal housing and other forms

of competition for the lumber industry that cannot yet be visualized.

Captain A. A. Nichoson, assistant to the vice-president of The Texas Company, delivered an eloquent and thoughtful address on "What Are We Defending."

Colonel W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, spoke on "The Sawmills' Position During the War Emergency." He said that as the war progressed lumber was called on to do the work of steel in construction to a large extent. The Navy has thousands of wooden boats on order. Large amounts of lumber are going into pontoons, bridges, cantonments and many other war projects. The industry has been amazed at the successive waves of construction projects. A recent one was the demand for lumber f.or 20 dirigible hangars, 1000 feet long, 190 feet high and.250 feet wide, requiring three million feet for each.

The strictly rvar needs for this year are placed at 24 billion feet. For the next year they will be greater. The West Coast industry has unfilled orders on its books f.or 1,250,000,000 feet, and at the moment is struggling with a 30 per cent shortage of labor, shortage of truck tires, of equipment in mills and camps, and in spite of this has kept production within three, per cent oI last year. F'or the winter months ahead they are confronted with declining log production and large new orders.

The R.A.F. has used wood for trainers, bombers and fighting planes, taking about 6000,000 feet of airplane stock a month from the Pacific Northwest. The United States is now using wood trainers, gliders and some bombers and now the production of airplane lumber is the outstanding job of the industry, the speaker said. Last month's production was seven million feet and this must be doubled. The millmen are showing pride in getting out this high-grade lumber.

The retailers have been tied up with freezing orders and will continue to be for some time, Col. Greeley said. IIe could see no relief from lumber demands for the war program before the spring of. 1943. However, he assured his audience that the manufacturers of the Northwest appreciate fully the sacrifices being made by the retail dpalers and hope they will be able to help the dealers to carry on. There is no disposition on the part of the manufacturer, now on top of the heap, to forget that the retail lumber dealer is his essential partner in business, and they must all cooperate and plan for the reconstruction days

after the war.

In conclusion he said he looks for a long period of active farm and home building after the war, arising from needs not satisfied today and accumulated means; for intensive competition from new building materials, and for a struggle on the part of all to maintain the field for individual enterprise. The job for all today is to do what we can to win the war.

"Air Power for Victory," was the title of a talk by Geoffrey F. Morgan, public relations director for the Douglas Aircraft Corporation, The speaker stated that air power. will be a large factor in winning the war on all fronts, and that air raids against the German cities will be eventually stepped up to 1O,000 planes at a time.

A large number of those who attended the convention enjoyed the dinner and entertainment of the Bal Tabarin night club, where a section was reserved for them.

ODT DELIVERY INTERPRETATION

Washington, October 12-In an interpretation of General Order ODT No. 17 issued today, Jack Garrett Scott, General Counsel of the Office of Defense Transportation, made it clear that the driver of a commercial motor vehicle, whether also the carrier or merely the employee of the carrier, is bound by the provisions of Section 501.68.

This section reads, in part: "No person shall cause to be made by motor truck, and no motor carrier, when operating a motor truck, shall make (a) any special delivery, except to hospitals, (b) any call back, (c). more than one delivery from any one point of origin to any one point of destination during any calendar day."

Two other interpretations also were issued today by Mr. Scott. The first clarified the provisions of Order No. 17 which cover the elimination of wasteful operation and duplication of parallel services. The second clarified the definition of "special equipment" as used in Order No. 17.

Application Blanlcs for Certiftcates of War Necessity Being Mailed

Mailing of application blanks for use of commercial motor vehicle operators in applying for Certificates of War Necessity is making rapid progress, the Office of Defense Transportation announced today.

Mailing of the application blanks to fleet operators has been completed, and mailing of single unit blanks is more than one-third finished. Operators of more than two trucks, buses, taxicabs or other commercial motor vehicles require fleet applications, while operators of one or two such vehicles require a single unit application for each vehicle.

Any operator who has been missed in the general mailing should apply at once to his nearest ODT Motor Transport Division field office for Form CWN-4 on which to apply for an application blank. This form must be filled out and returned to the field office from which it was obtained before an application can be sent.

Operators of one or two commercial motor vehicles, however, should make sure that mailing has been completed in their counties before applying for this form. Such operators should watch their newspapers for announcements concernings mailing of the blanks in their counties or check with their district offices.

Mailing of the single unit applications has been completed in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts and South Dakota and is substantially completed in a number of other states.

Any operator who receives the wrong type of application should return it at once to the ODT's central mailing office at Detroit, Michigan, in the self-addressed envelope provided with the application, with a notation as to the number of vehicles operated. The carrier then will be sent another application.
