Lumber Strikes in Los Angeles Harbor Area and San Diego End

Settlement of the strike at the distribution plants of the major lumber companies in the Los Angeles harbor area, which were closed on September 17 when the men went out, was reached at 2:00 p.m., Monday, October D, in the office of O. W. Hamilton, Los Angeles, general representative of the lumber companies.

Carrier drivers and stacker operators will receive an increase of LSI cents an hour, and crane operators will get an increase of l9l cents an hour. The union asked for 26 cents an hour increase for carrier drivers and stacker operators, and 25 cents an hour increase for crane operators. The men will return to work, by or before October 31, on call of the lumber'companies. The wage increases are retroactive to July 6.

, The strike of lumber yard workers at the San Diego lumber yards terminated on Monday, October 22, when an agreement was reached with the yard operators, and the men all went back to work. They had demanded a l5/o wage increase. The settlement was for a l2/o wage in' crease retroactive to August 18, at their regular rate of pay. The strike lasted 20 days. A San Diego newspaper commenting on the settlement estimated that it would take the average striker more than 1,100 days at the increased rate, to make back his twenty days lost wages.

Portland (Ore.) Oct.26-All union heads in the five state AFL lumber strike in the Pacific Northwest will convqne here next Monday in a meeting which, a spokesman said, may intensify attempts to cripple the entire industry.

One possible attempt at settlement of the thirty-three day old strike blew up today when the union turned down a compromise wage proposal made by Willamette Valley Lumber Operators Association. The proposal-somewhere between the 90 cent hourly minimum prevailing in that area and the demanded $1.10-was the only one made by any major group of operators since the strike began.

Negotiations between CIO lumber workers and operators in wage issue for 40,000 employes rvere postponed until President Truman outlines wage-price .policy. CIO demands for a 25 cents per hour increase includes an hourly minimum of $1.15.

One thousand of an original 61,000 AFL striking lumber workers are back on job as 35 small plants resumed operations.

Lumber production in the Pacific Northwest continues low as the strike has shut down about one half of the mills.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended October 20, l55 mills reporting, gave production as 40,054,000 feet, shipments 34,970,000 feet, and orders 34,900,000 feet. The figures for the previous week were: production 33,571,000 feet, shipments 31,396,000 feet, and orders 33,664,000 feet.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended October 13, 104 mills reporting, gave production as 40,808,000 feet, shipments 39,437,000 feet, and orders 28,982,@A feet. The week before the figures were: produ'ction q,272,M feet, shipments 41,D2,000 feet, and orders 36,971,000 feet.

NLMA Executive Committee Opposes Four Lumber Advisory Committees are Being O PA Construction Controls Retained During Reconversioir Period

Resolutions opposing efForts of OPA to extend and broaden its controls of constru'ction and requesting an investigation of OPA controls by the Senate Small Business Committee were adopted by the Executive Committee o{ the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, meeting recently in Chicago.

The resolutions stated that: "NLMA opposes the extension of price controls in the field of construction and construction materials as an unworkable, unnecessary program which would prevent recovery of private enterprise in housing and the resumption of employment," and that: "NLMA requests that an investigation be made by the Senate Small Business Committee of present and past OPA controls in the field of construction."

The committee uninimously approved the recomm6ndation of the Special Committee on selection of an executive vice president that Richard A. Colgan, Jr., of The Diamond Match Company, Chico, California, be appointed. Mr. Colgan was notified and accepted by wire.

President George T. Gerlinger appointed August I. Strange to fill the unexpired term of A. J. Glassow, resigned, as chairman of the committee on Building Codes and Trade Promotion.

The following were appointed by the president as a committee on nominations to report at the annual meeting: F. K. Weyerhaeuser, chairman; N. F. McGowin, P. V. Eames, C. D. Dosker, John Bailey, Abbott Fox, Dean Johnson, and C. L. Billings.

Present at the meeting were the following members and alternates: George T. Gerlinger, chairman ; John Veach, C. D. Dosker, Abbott Fox, R. C. Winton, W. W. Woodbridge, J. A. Pestridge, C. C. Sheppard, O. R. Miller, C. L. Billings, Dean Johnson, August J. Stange, L. O. Griffith, C. Arthur Bruce, M. L. Fleishel, F. K. Weyerhaeuser, S. R. Black and J. W. Watzek, Jr. Directors, members of the advisory committee, and others present included: G. F. Jewett, N. F. McGowin, B. R. Ellis, H. C. Berckes, H. V. Simpson, O. T. Swan, Stanley Deas, P. A. Hayward, W. A. Ellinger, Omar Hilton, Joseph Burge, and Charles Hines.

Washington, D. C,, Oct. l8-Four general lumber industry advisory committees are being retained during the reconversion period and 12 committees have been disbanded. the War Production Board announced today' This action is in line with WPB's policy of retaining committees of the over-all type, while dissolving those representing special segments of industries, the agency said.

f-umber industrv rdvisory committees still f'.rnctioning on an "on call" basis are those for hardwood flooring, millwork, and softwood plywood, and the Western Loggers and Lumber Manufacturers Industry Advisory Committee.

The last named committee was originally part of the Hardwood Lumber Manufacturers and Softwood Loggers and Lumber Manufacturers Industry Advisory Committee, with members drawn from all parts of the country. Since the problems of the West Coast and Eastern grouPs were held to be dissimilar, the Eastern segment met alone in April, 1945, and the Western segment, organized as the Western Loggers and Lumber Manufacturers Industry Advisory Committee, held its first meeting in Portland, Oregon, in early August. The companion committee for the East has not been formed but it will be established if the lumber situation warrants it.

Lumber industry advisory committees that have been disbanded are: Aircraft Sitka Spruce, Balsa Float Manufacturers, Balsa Importers, Mahogany Importer-Manufacturers, Lumber Retail Distribution, Lumber Wholesale Distributiop, Plywood Distributors, Port Orford Cedar, Hickory Blank Dimension Manufacturers, Wood Tank, Hardwood Plywood, and Hardwood Veneer.

Together with other members of WPB's industry advisory committees, members qf all lumber committees are being sent certificates of appreciation fiom J. A. Krug, WPB chairman, commending them for their work.

Holds Monthly Meeting

The Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Associdtion held its monthly meeting at the Osburn Hotel, Eugene, Ore., Saturday evening, October 13. Col. W. B. Greeley, retiring secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and his succesor, H. V. Simpson, were guests of the Club.

Modernization ls Order Of D.y At Several Big Los Angeles \(/holesale Lumber Yards

(ireat changes and modernizations are taking place at this moment at many of the lumber yards in Los Angeles. Three of the largest rvholesale yards are doing big jobs along this line.

At the plant of the Western Hardrvood Lumber Company they are finishing up a modernization program that has been under way for the past year. The last paving is nor,v being laid, and the yard will then be entirely paved. Two of the old sheds have been given roof lifting treatments, making them high enough and open enough for handling lumber by Ross lift trucks. A new shipping department is in the making in the front of the yard. The big warehouse that holds the big stock of Roddiscraft hardu'ood doors has been modernized for facility of handling and care in storage. The whole plant has been given a sort of face lifting tl-rat changes its appearance and improves its efficiency. The modernization of their kilns was completed some time ago, so that they find themselves capable of drying thick and entirely green oak and gum, with no warping or checking. This is one of the big things they have learned at this plant cluring the war. The free use of salt on the u'et green lumber is one of the answers. President Frank Connolly reports an uneventful conversion from war to peace lumber program.

At the plant of E. J. Stanton & Son, wholesale improvements are being made. You absolutely won't knorv the big ten-acre plant when the work now in progress is finished, says Roy Stanton. The last patches of unpaved ground are now being asphalted. A new building program that will take months, has started. They are building a brand new lift truck type storage shed, 60 x 525 feet in size, truss roof structure so that there will be no uprights or obstructions. The shed will hold five million feet of lumber in lift truck packages. The roof r,vill be rounded, the lift truck roadway down the middle. It will be one of the finest sheds of the kind ever built anyu.here. Right after this is completed they rvill tear dor'vn a rvhole cluster of old type storage sheds, and replace them with a big ancl modern 'warehouse for storing and handling the special built hardrvood panels

in which they are now specializing. They make them right in the plant, and the new warehouse will permit careful storage and efficient handling. The planing mill building will be enlarged and modernized, without changing the big and efficient bzLttery of machines they operate. Thel' 61lt. two lift trucks, a big and a smaller one, and a battery of carriers, that handle all their lumber. All their other older type sheds will be rebuilt or replaced, and modern installations will succeed them. With the exception of common Fir, all Stanton lumber will be handled and stored under cover in future. They have plenty of room in the yard, which gives ample opportunity for carrying through the complete program of remodeling and rebuilding. Also, a beautiful sales and display room is now being completed in one corner of the office building. Things are looking up at Stantons.

The Penberthy Lumber Company is doing a beautiful job of completely rebuilding and modernizing their new yard on Boyle Avenue. When they are finished-they are about half through now-they will have one of the most attractive looking wholesale lumber yards to be found anywhere. One by one old buildings have come down and been replaced. All the new sheds are the high type of sheds for lift truck use. In the middle of the yard is a brand new planing mill, attractively constructed. Down one side of the yard they are building one long shed along the railroad tracks, and down the center of this shed is a long sorting chain. The lumber rvill be unloaded from car to chain, then graded, selected, and unloaded on both sides of the chain. The entire yard has already been paved. Every building is being made to fit the same attractive architectural pattern, something seldom taken into consideration by lumber shed builders. Exceedingly large lift truck type sheds are being built down opposite sides of the long yard. The Penberthy plant, when completed, will have set quite a pace for attractive lumber plant construction. Their office compares favorably in interior looks and equipment with the best downtown business offices.

Here is one for every good scrapbook. It is titled "REVEILLE IN HEAVEN," was written by Corporal Dana Schnittkind who was with Patton's Third Army in Europe, and is published in the October "COSMOPOLITAN magazine. This is the first and last stanza: ***

All the heroes of the nation will be gathered for the sight, When the Author of Creation sunders daylight from the night.

When the final bugle summons, they will gather from afar, He will read out their promotions, pin on each a morning star.

And the whirling of the planets will be music of the band, When the Universe-Commander takes the great reviewing stand.

Rank on rank of marching thousands, tramping over heaven's sod,

Captains, privates, sergeants, colonels, all pass equal before God.

They wear ribbons from the sunset, they wear medals from the suns,

And the thunder and the lightning flash salute heaven's guns.

through their whiskers at good old Uncle Sam-ty Claus.

The recent sad failure of the London conference was due exactly one hundred per cent to the fact that we had absolutely and utterly neglected as a government to lay down hard and fast rules as a basis for the advance of the LendLease billions, without which Hitler would today be Dictator of Europe, Asia, and Africa. I think Byrnes would be a good trader had he not gone to London hamstringed by past errors that were loa*ot *his making

You have heard and read of the uncanny predictions of a guy named Nostradamus, and no doubt marveled at many of them. But Nostradamus was a rank amateur compared with the late Billy Mitchell of the air corps. In 1935 he wrote these words. Read them and wonder: "Reconnaissance from the air is the only means of warning Hawaii of the sneaking approach of the enemy, the fighting plane and the bomber furnish the only hope for the defense of Pearl Harbor. If our warships there were to be found bottled up in a surprise attack from the air and our airplanes destroyed on the ground, nothing but a miracle would help us hold from our far Eastern possessions." *

They go marching, mSrching, marching, through the vistas of the sky,

They go marching en felsvsl-YANKEE SOLDIERS NEVER DIE!

Secretary of State Byrnes, and all the other official Americans recently returned from Europe, agree on one thing, namely, the Russians are people you just can't get along with. All the political trouble in the world today centers on the Russians and their apparent determination to Communize everything they touch, and leave Democracy entirely out of every place they control.

Of course it looks from the road to an innocent bystander that, while all thinking men agree now that we lost most of our bargaining power by giving it away in advance and demanding nothing in return, we still have one good, strong grip on the Ruskies. They are asking for the loan of billions of dollars right now. Why not start trading with the boys with the whiskers? It's late, of course. When we started Lend-Lease they needed our help so badly that we could have tied them up in any sort of contract. It has been said that the Russians were the most surprised people on earth at that time when they came to conferences ready and willing to agree to anything, and found nothing was asked of them. All they had to do was take. They did. And now they crack the old whip, and laugh in low tones

Yet, in spite of such professional warnings, in spite of the fact that we had broken the Jap code and knew all their messages, in spite of diplomatic developments that a small boy would have understood meant immediate and imminent danger-we were caught identically and exactly as Billy Mitchell predicted in 1935. Friends, don't let anyone sell you the soft idea that Pearl Harbor was something that might as well be glossed or passed over. Pearl Harbor was the greatest crime in American war history. The only way to keep it from happening again, is to uncover every reason why it happened OfT"._

General Jonathan Wainwright, in his published story of the horror of the Philippine surrender, says that General MacArthur knew nothing of the imminence of Jap attack. Nothing. Think that over in your mind, and see what it means. He talked to MacArthur frequently, and their only impression was that it would be April at the earliest before there was any danger from the Japs. Why didn't MacArthur know what was going on, the keg of dynamite he was sitting astride of? We should know those things. Much of the horrors of Bataan and what followed, might have been averted if MacArthur*had lrnown.

And, speaking of MacArthur, it looks from where I sit as though conditions here at home are rapidly bringing to the foreground the chance for one of our great military

leaders to become President next election. That we need a mighty injection of iron into our government is every day more apparent; the kind of iron that Eisenhower or MacArthur could and would furnish. Suppose either of those two men were President today, do you suppose the high tide of industrial unrest that sweeps the country today, would be allowed to go unleashed? Would illegal force and riot hold sway as it has done so much of late in so many places? Hardly. What would these men do? Simple enough. They need only enforce the law and the Constitution. Give to every man his legal rights, uphold him in those rights, let no man deprive him of those rights. And, when any man tries to interfere by, force with the constitutional rights of another-stop him. That, as lve were told by a thin, tall, red-headed gentleman named Thomas Jefferson, is not only what this government is for-it is ALL this government is for.

When Jefferson was asked what powers the federal government had under the Constitution, he said that it should assess and collect taxes, and protect the citizen from harm to either his body or his possessions. And he said those were all the rights and powers the government had. Using that for a m.easuring stick today, it looks like the government had abdicated in all except*the tax rights.

As I look upon our Congress today, f am reminded of what Walt Whitman wrote during the Civil War concerning the War Congress of that day. He said: "Much gab, great fear of public opinion, plenty of low business talent, BUT NO MASTERFUL MAN." IIe certainly could be

writing of our Congress today, couldn't he? Never in American history was there so great an opportunity for some man to immortalize himself as there is in Congress today. There, all heads seek practically a common level. There is utter lack of "tall men, full crowned, who stand above the rabble." Certainly opportunity knocks. A name that would go down in history is a prize that goes beggrng for a claimant. But in order to claim it, some man must forget elections, forget so-called pirblic opinion as reflected in the pressure groups, turn with his face to the light of justice and his back against the Constitution, forget himself in fact, and go to battle for*the*right.

There is no hope for this nation in "party men.,' Jefierson said if he could not go to heaven except with a party, he did not want to go there at all. Ernerson said of Lincoln that "he forgot himself into immortality." There is a wonderful chance for some man with brains, courage, and pure patriotism, to do that today.

Rejoins Red Cedar Shingle Bureau

Virgil G. Peterson has rejoined the Red Cedar Shingle Burean as its trade promotion manager, in keeping rvith the Bureau's transition to postwar operation, it is announced by W.W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager.

"Mr. Peterson's background in the field of public relations, and his extensive experience in red cedar shingle industry, make him ideally suited to assist the Bureau in carrying out its long established policy of cooperation vrith the retail lumber dealers of America." Woodbridge stated in making the announcement.

"The years of war, with their severe displacements of materials and manpower, have r'vorked hardships upon the manufacturer and retailer of building materials alike," he said. "Now that the war is over, the shingle industry is looking forr,vard to the establishment of' ever-closer ties with the retail lumbermen rvho in effect comprise its sales force."

Mr. Peterson grew up in the shingle industry rvorking as a "weaver" in the mills during his pre-college youth. Upon graduation from the University of Washington in 1939, he served for a time as a Bureau field representative in the Middle West, rn'here he will be remembered by many retail lumbermen. He then transferred to the Bureau's head offices in Seattle, lvhere he was active in the public relations department.

For the past three years Mr. Peterson has been in charge of the Boeing Aircraft Company's ner,vs department.

Three More Lumber lnspectors Retire

Portland, Oregon, October l-The retirement of Irving Dunn, A. E. Johnson and V. E. Johnston on October first from Western Pine Association's Bureau of Grades has been announced by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager.

These three lumber inspectors like Henry Jensen who retired from the staff in August were long-time employees. Although older than the eligible age for retirement under the Association's pension plan, the announcement explained, each had willingly continued his regular assignment because of the War.

"It is interesting to note," Mr. Fullaway said, "that all three started Association work on the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers Association lumber inspection staff."

"These men," he added, "have devoted a large part of their business experience to the grading and grade inspection of Western Pines, averaging per man 22 years in Association service and 41 years in the industry. With this enviable record, it is understandable why these men can retire with the feeling of a job well done."

V. E. Johnston will make his home at Ophir in Oregon's Curry County, A. E. Johnson at Ashland, Oregon and Irr'ing Dunn at Klamath Falls.

Babe Ruth's Favorite Baseball Story

Babe Ruth loves to tell the story of a baseball game in a sandlot, that lasted so long the sun had gone down when the final half of the final inning arrived, and it was getting dark very rapidly. Two men were out and there were two strikes on the batter, and the team in the field stood to win the game by one run if they could get this third batter out. So the pitcher and catcher held a conference, and the pitcher said:

"It's so dark nobody can see nothin', so I'm going to wind up and make believe I'm throwing the ball, but instead I'm slipping the ball to you right now. After I go

through the motion of throwing, you pound your glove hard and pretend to make the catch, and this guy will be out. See?"

So they returned to their positions and went through the motions as arranged. When the catcher thumped his glove and showed up with the ball right behind the plate and just waist high, the umpire shouted:

"Three strikes ! You're out !"

"Out hell!" screamed the batter. "That was no strike! The ball came below my knees, and two feet outside !"

Credits, Inc., Stock

Announcement of the sale of the entire stock of Allied Building Credits, Inc., is made by F. K. Weyerhaeuser, representing the associated Weyerhaeuser companies, w'hich heretofore held the stock.

The sale was made to Occidental Life Insurance Company of California, with which comPany it now has extensive business relations throughout the country, and its parent, Transamerica Corporation.

Allied Building Credits, Inc. has total assets of approximately $17,000,000.00. It was created ten years ago to provide merchandising assistance for lumber dealers through the purchase of installment notes and the making of residential mortgage loans.

Mr. Weyerhaeuser stated that a double purpose motivated the sale.

"First," he said, "Weyerhaeuser has accomplished its original objective of developing finance services to meet the needs of the lumber dealer and his customers. Having accomplished this objective we have now taken a step which we feel will enable Allied Building Credits, Inc., because of its closer association with Occidental Life Insurance Company to expand its activities to meet postwar demands in the construction industry. Representatives of the Weyerhaeuser interests will remain on the board of directors of Allied Building Credits, Inc., because of our continuing interest in furthering the use of installment selling in the retail lumber industry.

"Second," he continued, "the sale will permit the associated Weyerhaeuser companies to devote their entire attention and resources to the production and distribution of forest products. Now that the postwar era is here, we are planning to go ahead with long-range plans for the further development of our business, including the building of new plants."

W. A. King, executive vice president of Allied Building Credits, Inc., stated the firm would continue its operations throughout the country under its present management. Home office of the concern is maintained at St. Paul, Minnesota.

"Under our new auspices," said Mr. King, "'ive can not only maintain the most complete finance service of its kind in the building material and construction field, but 'rvill develoo other services to meet additional needs."

Public Will Determine Extent Of Public Housing

"Public housing will be limited by the amount of private construction. So, to a large extent, the latitude of public housing will be determined by the public itself. The building industry must assume the responsibility of keeping the public's present interest in private home building alive," said E. J. Curtis, president of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, Chicago, during a recent interview.

"The lumber dealer, because of the confidence his community has in him, can aid materially in maintaining public interest in private home building and planning by providing practical suggestions for the modest as well as the low cost home," continued Mr. Curtis. "Many dealers are already efiectively contributing to this effort by distributing home idea booklets to their customers either from display racks in their,showrooms or through the mail.

"An exceedingly valuable booklet is'Today's Idea House' which is published by the Ponderosa Pine Woodwork for distribution by dealers. It is attractively printed and illustrated and contains information that will interest the home planner and builder.

"'Today's Idea House' is actually a result of a surv€y conducted to determine just what Mr. and Mrs. Home-Planner desire in their postwar home.

"One of the conclusions reached was that 83.78% of the home-planners consider more closet space a 'must' and an entire section of the booklet is devoted to practical suggestions on how to in'crease closet and storage space in the home.or to plan it into a new home.

"suggestions on how the home may be made more attractive-more gracious-more convenient-through the selection and arrangement of stock doors and windows are also completely discussed in Today's Idea House. Such a book will go a long way toward keeping public interest in home construction at its peak," Mr. Curtis concluded.

Genius or IndustrY

I do not despise genius. Indeed, I wish I had a basketful of it instead of a brain; but yet, after a great deal of experience and observation I have become convinced that industry is a better horse to ride than genius. It may never carry any one man as far as genius has carried individuals, but industry will carry thousaads into comfort and even to celebrity, and with absolute certaint5r; whereas genius often refuses to be tamed or managed, and often goes with wrecked morals. If you must wish for either-wish for industry.-Julian RalPh.

Couldn't SPell Derelicts

A visitor in Los Angeles noticed hundreds of badly dressed men sitting around in the sun in Pershing Square, right across from the Biltmore Hotel, and so he asked the taxi-driver who had brought him up from the depot, who they were. The taxi man said:

"Them is durlicks."

"Never heard of durlicks before," said the visitor. "flow do you spell it?"

The cabby. studied the question a moment. He said: "I think you spell it 'd-u-r--' oh, hell, you know what I mean ! Dem is BUMS!"

To My Books

Good friends of other days, we do not see So much of one another as we used, And when we meet our discourse is confused By cares which make our friendship not so free, Not quite so certain as it seemed to me In other days. Too often, unexcused Locking away your wisdom unperused, I shun your door till time corrodes the key. But I shall take my oldest pipe some night, Tamp down its bowl, and settling in my chair, Converse with you again. We'll put to right This troubled world, commending what is fair, Condemning what is false, until all trite, All specious things, dissolve like smoke in air.

-Tumbleweed in Chicago Tribune.

Modern Selling

A gentleman was instructing his son in the technique of the optical business, showing him how to get the most out of a customer. He said:

"Son, after you have fitted glasses to a customer, and the customer asks, 'What is the charge?' you say: 'The charge is ten dollars.' Then you pause and watch for the flinch. If the customer does not flinch, you say: 'That's for the frames; the lenses will be another ten dollars.' Then you pause again-but this time only slightly-and again you watch for the finch. If the customer does not flinch this time, you say: 'Each.' "

The Tough UmPire

A number of visitors had been invited to witness a baseball game held in the courtyard of the State Penitentiary, in which all the players on both teams were convicts, and so was the umpire.

The entire population of the Pen was out to see the contest, which was spirited and well contested throughout, and there was as much interest and feeling engendered as in an exciting league game with a Pennant at stake.

But, oh, that umpire !

He wasn't extra big, and he didn't look formidable, but he was the hardest guy in the shape of an umpire the visitors had ever seen. His decisions were terrible; he seemed deliberately to be inviting the wrath of everyone about him. But he stuck to every decision, and no threats could budge him in the face of what looked at times like certain destruction. He finished the game just as hard-boiled as he started. He had done something that seemed magically bold, and gotten away with it.

When the game was over one of the visitors approached the umpire and asked him how come he dared to do such a tough job of umpiring and make such dreadful decisions in the face of all those desperate men on the teams. The umpire only grinned.

"Weren't you scared?" asked the visitor.

The umpire said: "Naw. I wasn't scared a minute. I'm going to be hung tomorrow."

The Lcnd oI Pretty Soon

The road that leads to that mystic land, Is strewn with pitiful wrecks, And the ships that have sailed for its shining strand, Have skeletons on their decks.

It is farther at noon than it was at dawn, And farther at night than noon, O let us beware of that land down there, The land of pretty soon.

' No Time To lose

Andrg. Maurois tells a story about the late Marshall Lyautey who was sent to Morocco as Governor many years ago. One day as he was riding through a forest of gigantic cedars he came to a spot where a cyclone had knocked down a whole patch of these big trees. F{e called his head men to him and ordered them to re-plant the cedars that had been thus destroyed.

One of the natives said to him: "Plant new cedars, Sir? But it takes two thousand years to grow one of these trees."

"Two thousand yeaqs?" answered Lyautey; "then we have no time to lose; let us start planting at once."

Elongated Plywood Panels

Oversize plyrvood, in the spotlight during the war because of its use in building boats and arch-roof huts, is emerging as a stock material to be handled by panel distribuiors in much the same way as standard size plywood is stocked.

This forecast is made by E. E. Westman, president of Washington Veneer Co. at Olympia, Wash', whose firm has just shipped its first.full carload of an initial three-carload orde. o?-the big sheets {or rvarehouse stock'of the Back Panel Co., a Los Angeles panel distributor' During the war, most of the extra big plyw'ood was shipped direct to boat builders or other government contractors even though sold through established distribution channels'

Tl-re shipment in the initial "stock" car was comprised mostly of panels from 14 to 32 feet long, 4-feet wide and lrom-/a- to sl-inch thick. Included, however' was a sheet more than 50 feet long, 5 feet rvide and sf-inch thick; it was manufactured just witl-rin the length limits of the large endJoading box car which transported it' The giant sheet with 250 .qu"t. feet of surface weighs about 550 pounds'

Ultimately, the extra large panels probably will be used for building boats, outdoor signs, structural beams or store fronts as there is heavy demand for the oversize material for these and other uses.

Technique Described

The big sheets are manufactured by joining together

several standard size panels following a relatively simple although precise three-step procedure. After the standardsize panels are manufactured, they are placed in a scarfing machine which bevels the ends in a smooth, gradual cut' The tapered ends then are bonded together with waterproof adhesives to form the longer sheet.

Usually, as the third and final operation, the panels are sanded to satin smoothness. llowever, in some instances the individual segments are sanded before joined together' Or, if desired, the long panel is left unsanded to afford a slightly rough or textured surface.

Special machines have been designed for cutting the scarf to the exact desired slope and for bonding the segments together. According to Westman, the new press applying both heat and pressure to set the adhesives'at the joint is the largest of its type yet produced; it has six openings, each 10 feet long.

Waterproof adhesives like those used in the standard size exterior or outdoor type plywood are used at the scarf joints of the oversize panels. Consequently, the finished elongated sheets are suitable for all outside or marine applications.

Lumber Stocks Low

Sharp production cuts u'ill keep lumber stocks at record low throughout the fourth quarter of 1945, the War production Board said.

Reduced military requirements were expected to increase mill and distributors' stocks by a billion board feet before the year's end, but continued low production due to West Coast strikes has kept stocks from building up, the WPB said. By June' 30, wholesale and retail stocks had declined 8.2 per cent from first quarter levels and retail stocks alone sl-rowed a 10.4 per cent decline.

Lumber Inventory Limited by W.p.B.

Washington. Oct. 28-The War Production Board today placed lumber under inventory control, limiting stocks to 60 days'requirements or a practicable minimum, whichever is less.

The move rvas described as part of a progranr to speed new construction by helping to prevent hoarding of ma_ terials.

After graduating from college he became associated with his father in the latter's office in Saint paul, which was then and still is the headquarters for the Weyerhaeuser family. Upon his father's death in 1914, he became head of the family office which position he occupied continuously until the date of his death.

In addition to his lumber activi_ ties he was a director of the Great Northern Railway Com_ pany, First National Bank of Saint paul, and was formerly a director of the Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Company of Chicago

He had a great interest in various educational, charitable and religious organizations to which he has during his life_ time given liberally. He was head of the Saint paul Com_ munity Chest in 1922 and for 24 years had 'served on the Board of Directors of the Saint paul y.M.C.A. At the time of his death he was an elder in the House of Hope presby_ terian Church and president of the Union Gospel Mission. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Skull and Bones at Yale, and belonged to the following local clubs: IJniversity, Minnesota, Somerset, and White Bear yacht.

He is survived by his wife, Harriette Davis Weyerhaeus_ er, and two sons, Frederick, a resident of Saint paul, and Charles Davis, a resident of Tacoma, Washington, and five grandchildren. A daughter, Virginia, died in 1922.
