"Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe, Sadder than owl-songs, or the midnight blast, Is that portentous phrase 'I told you so', Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past."

-Byron

I'm guilty. one of ,nlr.*"oionhets of the past" that Byron wrote about. Under ordinary conditions the use of that "I told you so" remark is evidence of a weak mind; or, at the most, very poor judgment. But not always' Often, in serious matters,*it f "_.tt, very soothing.

Personally I find that prohibited phrase rushing instinctively to my lips every time I think about Russia and the deliberate mayhem she is practicing on the civilized world. And, since it seems impossible to forget the horror that is Russia, even in sleeep these days, it plainly follows that I am "I told you so-ing" th*e greater par:t of the time.

Russia has always been a horror to me' That great, dark, stupid, deadly thing we call Russia has always seemed to me as dark and deadly and poisonous as she is today- So, when the press of the nation began early in 1933 to express the fear that this government was going to recognize Russia, I began screaming like a panther in this column against putting the badge of national fellowship on that malignant government. Of course my voice was nothing; but that didn't keep me from using what little I had. Every American mentality for which I had any respect was shouting the same song-"Don't re;oS*niz; Russia."

But, of course, we did recognize her; and that act formed the foundation of all our troubles today. Because of that act we are now, in time of peace and immediately following the winning of a terrific world war, re-arming, drafting an army, an air force, and a navy. Because of that act we are again draining our material resources to the bottom of our pockets in an attempt to develop security for ourselves. Because of that act, the world today stands trembling. on the brink of such a war as the human mind scarcely dares to contemplate. It was all because of our welcoming an utterly uncivilized government into our brotherhood of nations. It was like inviting a mad wolf into a well stocked chicken yard. ,F x x

It required neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet to predict what has happened. Away back in President Wilson's day Bainbridge Colby made an official report on Russia describing her character and predicting what she would do if she got the chance, just as definitely as though the report had been written today. Many, many other

thinkers were doing the same right up to the time we made the fatal error of recognizing Russia. Most thinking men in the country can look back and say on this subject-"I told you so."

Winston Churchill cut loose the other day, and, fearful lest we make another colossal blunder, this time with regard to the atomic bomb, he spoke his mind on that subject. What he said was that the only thing that stands beween civilization and utter destruction today is the fact that the United States has the atom bomb. He said that should we destroy or surrender that monopoly, the rest of the world would be overrun by the Russian hordes, and that the bomb is the only reason they haven't don'e it already.

,F >,< ,.

He warned against any hope of a friendly settlement of differences with the Soviet government; that under no circumstances will the Russians cooperate with us to help the cause of peace; that the possession of the bomb is our only protection, and that the "growing aggressiveness and malignity of the Soviet government and its complete breaches of faith" warned us of our danger. and added: "Indeed, I only wonder that it took the British dnd American people, in spite of all the lessons of the past, so long to realize the fearful challenge to their life and freedom which was being opened up upon them from the East." Churchill was saying "I told you so."

The vicious Vishinski ,rr"U ," suggest to the United Nations meeting in Paris that Russia already has the atom bomb. Nuts to that! New York is still standing, isn't it? And Chicago? And San Francisco? And Los Angeles? And Washington? And Seattle, and Dallas, and Flouston, and New Orleans, and Kansas City, and Detroit, and Boston and all the others, not to mention London? They are still standing, aren't they? Then Russia hasn't got the bomb ! That is self provable. Do you think for a minute that the gang that deliberately let five millions of their own people die of starvation because there were too many of them; that destroyed through kangaroo courts that horrified the world tens of thousands of the better class of thinking Russians jdst because they dared to think; that keeps millions of their own people in prisons and concentration camps, because of their political opinions; do you think that criminal gang would hesitate to destroy us completely if they had the bomb?

"The Russian leaders" *rU "n"r"nill, "dread the friendship of the free civilized world as much as they would its

, hostility." He means that if the Russian people ever have Hit a chance to discover how our people live ,the dark oligarchy !1; ' that holds them in slavery might find even its bonds un', iqual to the job of hotding them further. "Above all," i Chqrchill continues, "they fear and hate the genial inflrience irl of a fiee and, easy Democratic life such as we have evolved .,i for ourselves in the \Mestern world. These, they know, f'; would be fatal to their ideological theories and their imi i,, perialistic desires for domination, and even to their own :l: i dictatorial power."

'f**

In other words, if we don't hang on to the bomb and see ttat it does not fall into the hands of the Soviet, the next thing we know "the pigs will be eating the people" in this world, and don't doubt it for a moment.

:t**

Read Churchill furthel i for unless we heed his wise advice we may never get another chance to say-"I told 5rou so"-1ryhen he warns us thus: "It is my belief-and 1 .I say it with deep sorrow-that . . . if the United States *':" were to consent, in reliance upon any paper agreement' to : destroy the stocks of atomic bombs . they would be guilty of murdering human freedom . If the Soviet gov- '€rnment wishes to see atomic energy internationalized and its military use outlawed . . . let them release their grip I on the satellite states of Europe. Let them retire to their own country, which is one-sixth of the land on the globe. Let them liberate by their departure the eleven ancient

capitals of Eastern Eulope which they now hold in their.

bliws Let them cease to oppress' torment and exploit --'.1 the immense parts of Germany anll;Austria which are now in their hands. Let thim cease to foment the hideous civil war in China. Above all, let them give others the chance to breathe freely, and let them breathe freely tltem' selves. No one wants to iake anything that belongs to, them, away from them . . Never let us despair ! All can '' 1' be regained !f' -

***

The world revolves. So does the history of mankind. Not so long since, the minds of men were shackled by fsar, and their todies were at the mercy of tyrants. .Then came t the thinkers and proclaimers of human freedom, like Vol- ' taire, and they struck the shackles frorn the minds ald li: wrists of mankind. And for a time most of the men of the. '."1 world were free, free to think, to speak, to write, to act. i And then came the new crop of tyrants beginning'with li.. Marx, followed by his series of Godless men of whom ' " Stalin is the presJnt chief, and once again a large portioil 1 of thb world is wrapped and strapped by fear; freed of , their recent ,freedom. These ape-men are ,today in the ,:. ascendency. Their power is growing. Their victims in' :, ' crease by multitudei. Human freedom is confessedly on I the retreat. Great men are needed to defeat the armies of :: darkness. In our history we have had many strong rnen I who could have done the job. Let us pray we find some .i today. Our future and that of the world, depends on iL .,r, fhis is no time for pygmies ! It's giants wet need ! a

Longview-, Washington-Since pioneer axes first felled America's sawtimber, bark-covered logs have comprised the diet of lumber-making mills. This "skin", ranging up to many inches in thickness, frequently becomes a sawing and waste disposal problem to the millmen. From a utilization standpoint, there has been little financial incentive to recover the bark for commercial processing'

Bark-free sawlogs are now the new look at Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's integrated operations at Longview, \A/ashington, where lumber is only one of the many products made from logs. llere, 'rT'here millir-rg leftovers become raw material for several manufacturing processes' a certain percentage of Douglas fir bark from a plyrvood plant already is finding its rvay into commercially marketed Silvacon products. The new "slick" look in salvlogs is achieved in one minute with tu'o oscillating high pressure jets of water, action units of a specially designed hydraulic barker.

The first installation of its kind in the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington, the barker was constructed as another link in the company's chain of wood:using processes which are harnessing a greater percentage of rarn' log contents for corisumer use. The unit was engineered

The barker, straddling the elevated log haul into the mill, consists of a covered'building whose upper portion houses the transfer chains and trunnion wheels that by-pass the big logs over the gscillating:jets and returh them to the log chain feeding the sarvmill's big bandsarv. The lower portion contains the pumping machinery which surges lvater, under 1300 pounds of pressure per square inch, against the log's bark.

All you hove to do is name the new Roddiscraft Door with the accordion type veneer core and follow thg directions listed below.

Aboutthe Door Here are some factj about the door to guide you in selecting a winning name.

The new Roddiscraft door has a core made up of selected strips of veneer. These strips are spot-glued at intervali and stretched within the rails to form an accordion core design. This is a ndicar departure fror-n .tle..con1-entional core. The accordion core creates the strengh and rigidity of. a solid core with 5O/o less wood content.

Jen99r strips. are spaced 2 inches apart at points of greatest core-strip bending.. This provides maximum suppgrt to the facE panels and protects against puncture from abuse.

Face panels-and rails are hardwood,throughout. The whole assembly is pressure bonded with the finest.glues obtainable and seasoned in specially constructed kilns for peuBanent straightness.

This contest is open only to dealers and their employees and the employees of architectural firms, and millwork housei.

$tanton l{ill ilIake Hoo-Hoo Hum

No man ever tackled a tougher assignment of similar charaiter than did Roy Stanton, Sr., of Los Angeles, iir succeeding Ray Saberson as Snark of the ljniverse of Hoo-Hoo. Saberson, orator, organizer, human dynamo in elderly guise, was hotter than a burning stump the whole two years he served the order, and to say that he left it in better shape than he found it would be like saying that the noonday sun is brighter than a tallow candle. He did a whale of a job of it, and left some mighty big tracks behind.

But this fellow Stanton steps

into that trying situation, head up, smiling, and not a bit bedazzled because of the lustre of his predecessor. When they elected him Snark in September he lit out at top speed and hit the ground running. And in just a few weeks time he is serving notice that the record of EIoo-Hoo for the coming year.is going to be something worth pointing to and perhaps bragging about. Stanton is a thoroughly saturated Hoo-Hoo. He has lived all his life in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles in particular and California in general has been not only Hoo-Hoo conscious but likewise Hoo-

rtn [ditsrial

Hoo enthusiastic for far'more than a generation. They've had red-hot Hoo-Hoo clubs there as far back as Stanton can recall, and he was raised in that sort of an atmosphere. He is one of the most enthusiastic members the order ev'er had, and that statement takes in Bolling Arthur Johnson, Hoo-Hoo Number 2, William Eddy Barnes, Hoo-HooNumber 3, and Jim Bbird, who caine along a little later than those two, ,but who held Hoo-Hoo in the hollow of his very respectable and stalwart han( for many, many years, as Supreme Secretary.

Hoo-Hoo was already on the march in California, but Stanton is enthusing it to better. and bigger marching right now, visiting groups in all directions, and showing the spirit that the job needs, and the stout ,intention of getting thb job done. He will meet with the new Supreme Nine soon in Chicago, will attend the annual convention of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association at Miami, and plans to spend most of his time for the next year getting acquainted with Floo-Hoo clubs all over the nation. He likes to travel, likes to visit with his fellow lumbermen, and loves the job he has undertaken. Yes, Hoo-Hoo is humming with Stanton.

Use of \(ood in New Housing in California - 1946

By Henry J. Vaux, Forest Economist; and Richard H Muy, Foiester

Californio Forest and Range Experiment Stotion r

How much wood does it take to build the average house now being erected? Contractors and dealers in building rnaterials can estimate wood requirements for specific structures with a fair degree of accuracy. For those who are interested in the broader aspects of, the residential construction market, little precise information has been available on the characteristics of the average new house and on the quantities of wood needed to build it.

But such information has recently been compiled in a survey by the California Forest and Range Experiment Station. In {946, the survey showed, the average new onefamily house in California required about 9,000 board feet of lumber. F ifteen years earlier, estimated requiretnents were about 14,500 board feet.

in the average house been 'rgsponsible for the apparent decline in unit wood requirements ? ''

The answers to these and similar questionS are imporfant to those interested in the outlook for lumber markets during the, next f,ew years, and .alsq to those concerneil with the longer run pqoblem of' how much lumber our'. forest resource will need to produce in future decades. Data compiled by the Experirnent Station are far from. exhaustive, but they do bring out some of the major features involved in recent changes in the use of wood products for new residential construction. In this stuily, type. of construction, dwelling size, and kind of dwelling were determined for 3,6O3 new structures' as'reporte{ in building permits. In additioh, variations in the amount of wood used were studied in detail on plans for 93 new residential buildings. The.sample of buildings was drawn at random', from twenty California communities representing a wide range of community size and locatiqn. It included 3.7 percent of all new dwelling units built in California during 1946.

;'

A simple comparison of these figures suggests a decline in the use of lumber for California housing which is of major, significance to the lumber industry. It raises numbrous questio.ts as to why such a decrease has taken place. Have competitive.building materials made serious inroads into this important segment of lumber markets ? Have methods of design and construction changed so radically that lumber used per house has been sharply curtailed? Or, have other factors afiecting the use of wood Service at Berkeley, Calif., in coChlifornia.

Types of construction

lMaintained by,the U. S. Forest -operation with the University of

About 72 percett of these new dwellings w.ere convehtional single-family wood'frame homes. An additional 18 percent were in two-farnily or apartment-type wood frame buildings. Less than 10 pereent of the new units were.

structures in which wood was not the principal framing material. single-family concrete block, adobe, and euon-

set type homes accounted for most of the non-wood frame

construction.

One quarter of all the new houses used wood for the principal exterior material. It was especially popular for single-family homes in the San Francisco Bay area, .where over 4O percent of the new one-family structures were sided with wood. fn contrast,'over 74 percent of singlefamily houses in southern California u"a gZ perceni of the two-family and apartment-type dwellings throughout the State had stucco or other non-wood exteriors.

Wood shingle roofs were found on approxiinately onehalf of the sample structures, making this the most popular single form of roofing material. Composition shingles, tar and gravel, and tile roofs ,were ne4t in order of popularity. The use of wood shingles as a siding material in new California homes was not common in 1946, Wood siding appeared to be preferred for exterior uses. 'Where shingles were used as a siding material, they were frequently bmployed in conjunction with wood siding for decorative effects.

Drvelling size

Altliough the size of individual homes is subject to a vvide variety of influences, certain definite size characteristics were noticed. For example, in the San Francisco Bay area the average new one-family home containecl a total permit area2 of 1,530 square feet, compared witir only 1,070 square feet elsewhere in the State. Similarly, for cities with 20p00 or more drvelling units in 1940, the average one-family dwelling contained 1,200 square fe€t, compared with only 1,100 square feet in srhaller communities. Wood-frame houses with stucco exteriors were larger, on the average, than wood siding, concrete block, and other structural types. For the State as a whole, the average total permit a:ea of all nevf residential buildings (including multi-family dn'ellings) built during 1946 was estimated aF. 1,290 square feet.

Variations in wood use

The effects of differences in size, type of construction, and other {actors on the volume of wood used in a house depend to some extent on the particular wood item to be considered. Requirements for interior finish lumber depend primarily on the size of the dwelling. Other factors, such as"type of construction or location, make little difference in the amount of finish and trim which is used. Rough lumber needs, on the other hand, vary with size, type of construction, location, and kind of dwelling. Siding and shingle. requirements depend on both size and type of construction.

Examples of the results of such variations can be seen in the following figures which show the amount of different kinds of material used in the average single-family dwelling in different parts of California.

'Total permit area is the product of the gross dimensions stated . bn the building permit mriltiplied by the number of stories in the dwelling. It overStates actual floor area by 20 to'30 percent. However, it is closely related to actual floof area and is used as a ureasure of size because it can be readily determined from building r 'permits.

Similar variability in requirements was noted for twofamily and appartment-type buildings. Average 1946 wood use in these structures was as follows:

r9.r2 6.12 0.47 25.7r

Shingle requirements for houses with wood shingle roofs vary principally with the size of the dwelling. The average 1946 house required 13 squares of shingles, but there was a tendengy to use wood shingle roofs more frequently on the larger houses than on the smaller ones'

Only about 12 percent of the sample dwellings used plywood. fn most of these, it was employed for doors, cabinets, or miscellaneous interior panelling. A few houses were found where plywood replaced lumber in roof sheathing and flooring; and replaced plaster'on walls and ceiling.

In dwellings where plywood was used as a primary building material an average of 3,930 square feet (3/8-inch

basis) was used per house. But for the average new house built in 1946, plywood requirements amounted to only 150 square feet per structure.

Trends in wood use

Not much information is available on the use of rvood in new dwelling construction in California before 1946' So trends in such uses cannot be established wi,th cer-' tainty. However, a Forest Service study made in ' 1934 throws'some light on the subject. The study was con-' fined to nine medium and large cities and included houses , built betwe en 1927 and 1933. The data aie not always comparable with those collected ior 1946 and may be less representative of construction activity as a whole. Ho'w.lr"., .o*parison of the results of the two surveys is of considerable interest.

The most significant change since the early -1930's has ) been in dwelling size. Cgmparisons of both the average number of roorns per house and the average permit area for single-family dwellings in selected cities indicates that the average new house was about 15 percent smaller in 1946 than in 1930. Along with this shrinkage in floor space went a generat reduction of ceiling hgights from about 8 feet 6 inches to the curreht. normal qf 8 feet 2 inches. Taken together, these reductions in size represent a decrease of about 20 percent in the total cubic volume of the average single-family house. Proportionate reductions in lhe amount of lumber used might be expected simply as a result of the fact that \rye are building smaller houses. tod.4r*,than .those which were characteristic..of tlre*. .,' past.

The use of wood as an exterior material appears to have

increased during the last'l5 years. In the early 1930's only 7 percent of houses, sampled had wood exteriors. In 1946 over 27 perLent of the new structures had siding primarily of wood. On the other hand, standard wood-frame construction-almost universal before the 'second World War-has given way somewhat to other structural types. About 10 percent of" 1946 dwelling construction was concrete block, adobe, or Quonset type building. '

There is also sor4e evidence that less structural lumber is used today in a house of given size and type of construction than was required 15 years ago. On the basis of sample houses of similar size, location, and type of construction, requirements for rough lumber in 1946 appear to have been about 20 percent below those of 1930-1933. Use of finish lumber showed no evidence of change over the same period.

Average lumber requirements in 1933 were, according to the earlier Forest Service study ,about 14.5 M board feet per single-family dwelling. Those in 1946 were about 9.0 X4 board feet. These figures and the information presented in the preceding paragraphs indicate that only about twothirds as much lumber was used in 1946 as in 1933.

Some of this decline probably reflects temporary conditions. Houses in the early 1930's may have been unusually large on the average and lumber at this time was in plentiful supply. Use in 1946 was undoubtedly abnormally curtailed by the difficulty of getting lumber and perhaps also by relatively high prices. But apart from this, lumber requirements for the average California house have followed a downward trend during the past 15 years.

Whether or not this trend continues in the future will depend on several factors. Shrinkage in size of house has been a major 'reason for curtailment of unit lumber requirements. The average house now being built apparently is appreciably smaller than the S-room home frequently regarded as "standard" for the American. family. When and if the immediate housing shortage eases and home building costs decline, a return to a somewhat more spacious type of dwelling seems probable.

The.Tuture trend in substitutioh of other types o.f constructi,ron for conventional wood-frame dwellings, and in the freedom with which wood is used in structures of a given type will no doubt depend largely on the efforts that are made to maintain the competitive position of wood in the home-building field. In the past, wood has held a

major advantage in this competition because of its price position. Today and in the future, it seems probable that both price and quality aspects of the competitive situation must be emphasized if wood is to maintain its relgtive position in the housing market.

'; Foley and Van Beckum Appointed

Tacoma, 'Wash., Oct. l4-Formation of Silvacon Sales with J. P. Foley as manag'er was announced today by C. H' Ingram, vice-president and general manager of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma. Also announced was the appointment of W. G. Van Beckum as Manager, Tech' nical Service for Silvacon Sales'

, Foley, who will be headquartered in Longview, Washington, assumes merchandising responsibilities for Silvacon products and will direct further introduction- of these bark-derived new materials to domestic manufacturers and processors. Sales and technical serviciag of Silvacon have previously been handled through Weyerhaeuser's Develop''ment Department at Longview, which created the products , and the processes and plant to produce them.

Announced in June, 1947, Silvacon is the generic trade ;name for products derived from Douglas fir bark. through the isolation and purification of the naturally occurring , cork, the fibers from hard tissue and the powder from soft ' tissue. These products, with individual chemical and physical attributes, have. found increasing utility in plastics, adhesives, chemicals, horticulture, rubber compounds, oil well drilling fluids, insecticides and magnesite flooring.

Developments now progressing in many industries rely upon the versatility of Silvacon and its unlimited supply, uniform quality and favorable economics. Organization of Silvacon Sales, with adequate technical service for all users, is a necessary step to permit the Development Department to concentrate on additional new Silvacon productd obtained through formulation or remanufacture.

Foley has a 2O-year background in the lumber and build' ing materials business. ln t937 he joined the Wood Conversion Company at Cloquet, Minnesota, as. sales representative in the southern New Engl4pd area, after being manager for nine years of a retail lumber and building materials yard at Taunton, Massachusetts. During his ten years with Wood Conversion, poley' was on leave for three years as engineering officer wiqh the 8th Air Force, U.S.A.A.F., in England, with the rank of captain upon his release in 1945. He joiried Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's Development Department in L947 to serve ds district representative in the eastern United States, introducing Silvacon,commercially.

In line with these expanded selling activities, W. G. Van Beckum was appointed Manager,'Technical Service, Silvacon Sales. Van Beckum has an advanced degree in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin, where he-held a fellowship at the United States Forest Products Laboratory, sponsored by the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI).

Van Beckum in 1939 joined the Wood Conversion Company at Cloquet, Minnesota, in -charge of Chemical Development work. He transferred to the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Development Department, Longview, Washington, in 1942 as Chief of the Applied Chemistry Section. In 1946 he was appointed Assistant Managerof the Development Department, which post he has held up until the time of his latest appointment.'

As Manager of Technical Service, Vail Beckum brings to his new position six years of experience in the development of Silvacon and other new fortist.products. Manu-

Report on Modular Coordination , Now Available

New advances in a system for achieving construction

economies by establishing uniform size standards is de-

scribed in a report on "modular coordination" now avail-

' able from the Office of Technical Services, Department o{

Commerce.

'.' Th" report was prePared by the Modular Service Asso-

r ciation of Boston which carried out a project in the field

with the assistance of funds supplied by the Office of

Technical Services as part of its $1,500,000 research pro-

gram in I94G1947 to aid U. S. industry.

Modular coordination calls for standardizing building i, dimensions on a four-inch and four-foot module. It is a system Tor simplifying plans in commercial, industrial and residential construction by establishing uniform component sizes for the guidance of materials suppliers, engineers, architects and builders.

f,, According to the rePort, modular details have now been applied to chimney flue linings, stone sills, and two proprietary window products. These items are either on the market now, or expected to be shortly. Modular sizes have also been proposed for aluminum windows, kitchen equipment, toilet partitions and shower stalls. Now under development are steel stair units, ceramic tile, porcelain enamel, steel lockers and certain types of hospital equipment. Work is continuing on brick veneer walls and various types of masonry units.

"Grid Lines" a magazine published by the Modular Service Association as part of its contract with the Office of

Technical Services was widely distributed and is now available in most public libraries. Its continuation is to be provided for by the American Institute of Architects with th" .oop.r"tion of the Producers Council.

Despite the growing iriterest in modular coordination, the Modular Service Association points out that various difficulties have hindered its full adoption. Although'certain manufacturers, for eiample, have announced "modular sizes," these sizes have not always been coordinated properly with other materials. Furthermore' even true modu' lar materials cannot be employed to their maximum usefulness unless the builder or architect is 'fully acquainted with the entire modular system. The Association believes that the work done under the recent contract has helped to overcome these difficulties.

PB 88834, Dimensional Coordination of Buildings, and Materials and Equipment, on the Modular System;96 pages including committee studies and sample sheets, is available from the Office of Technical Services, Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D. C., at $2.50 per copy' ,Orders should be accompanied by check or money order payable to the Treasurer of the United States.

The Southern States acted for themselves-the Oh, no, I never met him." Northern States for themselves-Virginia for herself. And "But if yog've never met him, how do you khow so when the lines of battle formed, Robert Lee took his place much about him?" in.61,sline,beside,his people,"his. kindred, his.children-hic-..* "f should know,'f insisted the stranger. "I married his home. Let his defense rest in this fact alone. Nature speaks widow"' it. Nothing can strengthen it. Nothing can weaken it. The historian can compile ; the ,casuist may dissect; the i'i' statesman may expatiate; the advocate may plead; the jurist may expound; but, after all, there can be no stronger or tenderer tie than that which binds the faithful heart to kindred and to home. And on that tie, stretching from the cradle to the grave, spanning thb heavens and riveted through eternity to the throne of God on high, and underneath in the souls of all good men and true-on that tie rests stainless and immortal, the fame of Robert Lee.

"Come we then today in loyal love to sanctify our'mern' ories, to purify our hopes, to make strong all good intent , by communion with the spirit of him who, being dead, yet speaketh. Come child, in thy spotless innocence; come veor.nan, in purity; come youth, in thy prime; come m:ur' hood, in thy strength; come age, in thy ripe wisdom; cotne - citizen ; come soldier; let us strew the roses and lilies of ; June around his tomb, for he like them, exhaled in his life

"His sword beside him is sheathed forever. But honor's seal is on his brow, and valor's star is on his breast, and the peace that passeth all understanding descenils upon him. Here, not in the hour of his grandest triumph of earth, as'when amid the battle roar shputing battalions followed his trenchant sword and bleeding veterans forgot ,their wounds to leap between him and his enemies:but here in victory, supreme over earth itself, and over death, its conqueror, he rests, his warfare done. And, as we seem to gaze once more on him we loved and hailed as chief, in his sweet, drgamless sleep, the tranquil face is clothed with heaven's light, and the mute lips seem eloquent with thi message that in life he spoke:-'There is a true glory and a true honor; the glory of duty done; the honor of the ,integrity of principle."'

With the standards of the peoples plrrrrging thru the thunder storm; '

Re-elected Chairman of Management Committee lor l1th Consecutiye Year

Two new members have been added to the nine-man management committee of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association which directs the research and promotional activities of 37 West Coast fir plywoo.d factories. They are Victor O1son, president of Bellingham (Wash.) Plywood Corp., and J. W. Forrester, general manager of Coos Bay (Ore.) Lbr. Co.

The new members were

E. W. Dcniels named at a recent industry ' meeting at Portland, Ore., during which E. W. Daniels, president of Harbor Plywood Corp., was re-elected committee chairman for the 11th consecutive year.

The committee has been enlarged from the original membership of nine to keep pace with the increasing size of the industry. Members are selected to represent various types of plywood plant operations from each section of the Douglas fir region.

Other committee members include: N. O. Cruver, president of The Wheeler Osgood Co., Tacoma, Wash.; B. V. Ilancock, vice president of Cascades Plywood Corp., Portland, ,Ore.; Thomas B. Malarkey, viee president of M and M Wood Working Co., Portland; Robert E. Seeley, vice president of Simpson Industries, Seattle, Wash.; Frost Snyder, president of Vancouver Plywood and Veneer Co., Tacoma; Herman E.

Co's. plywood division at Olympia, Wash., and Charles E. Devlin, managing director ol the industry trade association. Tacoma.

Ycrrd Tcrlk

From "Yard Talk" issued by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California:

Resacking broken bag goods-cement, lime, etc., has been made easier with a special chute. A cone-shaped chute made of plywood is set in a wooden framework. The chute is high enough off the floor so that the'top of the bag to be filled just fits over the lower end of the chute. The sacking stand is placed in the car being unloaded. When a broken bag is found the .contents arg dumped or scooped into the chute. The refilled sack can then be stored normally.

Tape-friction or any heavy durable type-applied to the parts of gloves taking the worst beating in lumber handling, will prolong the life of the gloves by as much as trvo or three times.

Low Cost Rat-Repellent Board New ltem For Dealert

Development of a new, low-cost board that repels rats 'was announced today by United States Plywood Corporation.

The company is now producing a material known as Protekwood that promises to reduce substantially the yearly $2,000,000,000 American damage by rats to food, property and human life.

This new easily-applied laminated board, a combination of hardwood veneer with impregnated fibre fages, is non'poisonous and in no way affects poultry or farm animals.

Boardman M. Randall of United States Plywood's Tekwood Division has conducted numerous experiments with Protekwood. "fn every case," he says, "the rats were com-

pletely repelled by Protekwood. This new material will be welcomed by all farmers, especially those raising poultry, storing grains and other farm products who have never been able to adequately solve the rat menace. Later it will be available to metro.politan areas, which have rat problems."

It was,pointed out that building materials, such,as good concrete, sheet metals and wire mesh have been used successfully for rat control. "But under most conditions," Mr. Randall said, "the'cost of these materials as rat-barriers has been prohibitive. We believe this new United States Plywood Corporation product is the answer to cheap and effective rat control.tl

New Redwood Booklet

CARGO OR RAIL DELIVERY

Wayne Wilson

San Francisco, Calif., October 8, 1948-"In Home Construction-In Agriculture-In Industry-and for Manufacturing-Whatever the Job, Experience Shows You Can Eo It Better With Redwood." Thus reads the title page of a newly available, informative brochure about naturally durable and colorful redwood lumber.

Concisely written, the S-page booklet touch-es on the history of the discovery of redwood forest in California ahd highlights the tremendous field of utility to which "redwood lumber goes. It is illustrated with full color photographs of redwood 31 v,'61ft-"\fs/hatever the Job."

, Portrayed on the front cover-page is the "f{ouse of Ideas No. II" of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. A colored map shows the areas of growth of redwood and location of the 69,000 acres of permanent Redwood Parks. A description of the characteristics of redwood for architectural and garden uses is pointed up with photos of homes and the exotic Cinegrill of Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. An outline of the thousand and one industrial uses of redwood is illustrated with a dramatic shot of a redwood cooling tower, one of the most spectacular of industrial structures. Pictured on the back cover-page is the interior; of an ultra modern Marin County hoine-built with redwood material taken from an old farm barn that was formerly located on the site.

The handy Blxll brochure was designed by E. D. Bills and printed by Independent Press Room, Inc., both of San Francisco. A copy of the booklet may be obtained without charge by writing to the California Redwood Association, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco 4.

Lumber Production Hits New High

\Vashington, D. C.. October 1, 1'918 . . l,umber produc-' tion in August reached a ne\\r peak and u'as the highest rnonthlv total on record, R. A. Colgan, Jr., Executive Vice I'resident of tire National Lumber \'fanufacturers Association rep, rrted t,,da1'.

The lumber industry producecl at least 3.6 billiorr boarcl ieet drrring August, according to the preliminary rellorts receivecl by NLMA frorn ali producing regions in the country. This macle the sixth consecutive month r,l'itl.r an ()rltput of more than 3 .biliion board feet.

"If there is no slackening of clemand, irroductiorr u'ill continue at a high level," N{r. Colgan declared, "u'ith total outprlt for 19.18 exceeding last year's 37-billion-board-feet by at least fir'e percent."

In releasing the procluction figrrres, N[r. Colgan pointed out that the great volume of lu.nrber being rnanufactured is stimul:Lting the contilrrling iurprovement of forest resorlrces, rathcr than the contrarv. The heavy demand for lun.rber ancl forest products, he said, is sen'ing "q'r str,r.lg incerrtive to o\vners of both large and srnall tracts oi forest lar.r<ls t<i manage their holclings so as to yield continuous crops o{ trees. "We are rapidll- approaching the point," he said, "n'here u-e u'i1l be litcrally grorving all the trecs \\'e cut [, rr use."

The Trec F:rrm program, sponsored by the lumlrer in<lustrv, is expanciing rapidly, NIi. Colgan stated.

Courteiy

"The elephant has joints, but not for courtesy; his legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure."

The ofifice boy had limber jaws

And bubble gum he chewed, He had no time for friendly speech

And often he was rude.

A stranger came to see the boss, The day was cold and raw, "Please, is he in ?" he gently asked, And Johnnie answered, "naw."

The maiden at the telephone

Was young and fair and neat, Her voice, when she made use of it, Was rather low and sweet; But when inquirers asked of her, Concerning this or that, She'd yawn and answer "yeah," or "nope," In drawling tones and flat.

The manager was bright enough, And had I been like him, I would have forced myself to smile

And show both zeal and vim.

But he was puffed with foolish pride, And so he'd strut and try

To over-awe his customers

When they came in to buy.

And therefore when I wish to buy, I quite ignore the place

And go where everyone can wear A bright and smiling face.

Where office boy and manager

Have time to speak to me

And voice and smile and friendly hand

Are used for Courtesv.

The laminated wood arch is not new, having been de. leloned in Europe about 1900. The glued laririnations act together much more efficiently than if nailed or bolted and make spans as gdeat as 100 feet practical.

Softwoods are a botanical group of trees that have needle or scalelike leaves and arg evergreeri for the most part' The term has no reference to the actual hardness of the wood.

Tree farms grow timber year after'year without stopping. They produee-.the foresL.crops which mean jobs and pay rolls and,community stability. They mean lumber; paper, plywood and other forest products for America forever.

The strongest wood of the Douglas fir species grows in the coastal region of Washington, Oregon and California. Most of the lumber sold as Douglas fir comes from the coast region.

To calculate the board measure contents of a piece of lumber, simply multiply the thickness in inches. by the width in inches by the length in feet and divide the product by 12.

To convert board feet by 12 and, divide in turn

to lineal feet, multiply board feet by thickness and width.
