When the quantity of lumber items that are chronically in short supply is increased, that's welcome news for the retail lumber dealers because the increased supply offers the opportunity for gteater volume and profit.
Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Glued-Up Lr:mber is increasing the supply of wide lumber items. Edge-glued lumber is helping dealers who stock it to meet the needs of their market for tnore wide lumber.
Weyerhaeuser supplies two types of edge-glued lumber, one an exterior type, and the other an interior type.
Exterior type edge-glued lumber is a general purpose lumber. It may be used as exposure lumber, or for interior application. It is designed to be equal to, and interchangeable with, regular stock in species, grades, patterns and uses. It is available in bungalow siding, finish, stepping, selects and in wide items.
Interior type edge-glued lumber is designed for interior construction purposes, industrial uses, and any application where water-proofness is not a use factor. It equals or excells regular lumber in the above interior uses. The light color of the glue line makes interior type edge-glued ideal for natural interior finishes. Industrial clears and other gtades of wide interior type edge-glued lumber are available in a variety of widths up to 30".
More and more dealers are ordering Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Edge-Glued Lumber in an ever increasing variety of items because they have found that marketwise it gives them a gteater volume of needed wide lumber items to sell.
The edge-gluing of lumber is a proved Weyerhaeuser development. Ifyou are not now enjoying the advantages of glued-up lumber, talk to your Weyerhaeuser District Representative about it, or write for details.

The accent fell on progressive merchandising and sensible housing legislation at the well-attended annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Ass6ciation, held September 27 to October 1 at Las Vegas, Nevada.
Encouraged by the enthusiastic reception given the ne.,v NRLDA Merchandising Calendar which was unveiled for the first time at the meeting, the Merchandising Committee decided to develop'the Calendar further in the imrnediate future and recommended staff studies of sales incentives, the how-to-do-it movement, and practical methods of cashing in on the home improvement market.
President Henry J. Munnerlyn and Vice-President Watson Malone III were re-elected, and H. W. Blackstock, Seattle, Washington, was elected Treasurer. The Board also re-elected H. R. Northup, Executive Vice President, and Edward H. Libbey, Secretary.
President Munnerlyn, after praising the officers and directors, committee members, and staff for their excellent support in the past year, stated t_hat NRLDA was dedicated to helping its members and their industry wherever help rvas needed, and said that merchandising and education rvould receive special emphasis during the coming year, but that the association also would continue vigorous- ly its successful work in the fields of federal legislation, g'overnmental and industry relations, and public relations.
Mr. Munnerlyn also reported that building products nranufacturers are showing gratifying interest in NRLDA's merchandising programs and in the plan for coordinating the advertising and promotional efforts of dealers and producers. He expressed the belief that both groups will pro- fit from continued collaboration.
Executive Vice President Northup predicted another good year for the retail lumber industry in 1954, citing continued high employment, heavy consumer savings, and the survey of business conditions conducted by members of the Executive Committee in which 54 per cent of the reporting dealers said their volume for the year to date rvas as high or higher than a year ago and 47 per cent reported that their profits were the same or higher than in 1952.
In summarizing NRLDA's policies toward federal housing legislation, Mr. Northup complimented HHFA Administrator Cole for taking a close and careful look at the rvhole housing picture and expressed the hope that the federal government lvould plan for normal conditions, not for emergen,cies or special welfare objectives, in shaping its future policies.
He said NRLDA would urge the government (1) to strengthen ancl encourage private enterprise in its efforts to provide new and improved housing for everyone able to afford it and to guide local communities in assuming responsibility for housing welfare cases and for coping with overcrowding, neglect of properties, and urban redevelopment, (2) to recognize the fundamental principle that the government's credit function should be separated from the social and welfare functions, and (3) to maintain a credit policy which will stabilize the flow of private funds, while refraining from attempt to regulate the mortgage market arbitrarily.
Reporting for the outgoing Treasurer, Fred R. Stair, W. A. Barksdale, member of the Budget Committee, stated that the association's finances were in excellent condition and that it has been operating within its budget. ,
Charles Price, Chicago attorney, speaking on "'Ihe Robinson-Patman Act and the Lumber Dealer," told the members of their individual rights under that Act with regard to the increasingly difficult problems of distributio.rr.
J. H. Else, NRLDA's Legislative, Counsel poninted out that legislative developments in Washington have been slowed down by the fact that many agencies have not yet been reorganized to the point where definite determinations of policy .can be made, adding that lumber dealers and others in the light construction industry have a real responsibility of making their legislative and policy viervpoints known to the ner,v administration.
NRLDA .ivill give top priority in the year ahead, he said, to problems of mortgage financing and consumer credit, the definition of retail trade by the Bureau of the Budget, solution of wage-hour problems, recognition of distribution problems by the Department of Commerce, and relations

A new tax study made by the National Association of Manufacturers shows that the average family with $4,000 a year income pays $1,249 for food, $596 for housing, fuel, light, and refrigeration, 9445 for clothing, and g1,093 for Federal, State, and local taxes. The Federal taxes paid by a $4,000 family are about 9795, of which g2Z1 is income tax, the rest hidden taxes. For a family with a $5,000 income the tax bill exceeds that for food. The figures are only approximate but they include an attempt to allocate corporation taxes; which, of course, are paid by individuals, either in the form of higher prices or reduced dividends.Clipt.
"The extent to which the 'little fellow' is being burdened by Federal income tax is emphasized in figures just released by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The figures show that the people of modest incomes provide a large share of the income tax revenues and that the total revenues have nearly doubled since 1950," says the Houston (Texas) Chronicle, date of October 12. And it continues: ,,The Bureau report showed that in 1950, last year for which an analysis of income tax returns is available, the biggest paying group was comprised of persons making between $5,000 and $6,000 a year. There were 3,025,105 returns in this category, accounting for $1,502,335,000 in tax revenue. Many, if not a majority, of these groups are heads of families trying to support their families on a relatively small income in these days of inflated prices Taxes have got beyond the point of hurting. THEY ARE BECOMING CRIPPLING. Americans would suffer without protest if the taxes were necessary. But Americans are convinced that we are spending money foolishly and that it is the waste that is keeping taxes unreasonably high." ***
Sokolsky probably voices the opinion of a majority of newspaper readers, when he wrote recently: ,,Who really cares, I ask you, if these two celebrated morons are married or divorced or whether having publicly quarreled they have as publicly become reconciled?',
Will Durant, greatest ;; ^i,*.ri""n philosopher, and a thinker and author of the highest repute (Story of philosophy, etc.), expressed the opinion recently in a newspaper interview that "the United States has cracked up morally.,' Doubtless he was thinking of the sloughs of sickening publicity given to the whol'esale doings of those smallsouled Hollywood folks, the Kinsey report, the literary decadence of the period, and possibly our murder record. Whether it is true that this nation has cracked up morallv is, of course, a matter of opinion,
The present A-.rical J"J.r record might well deserve national consideration. In Houston, Texas, as an exampl'e, recently referred to in print many times as the "murder capital of America," more homicides were committed last year than in all of England; and far fewer of the killers were condemned to death. During the last 4l years 65 convicted murderers have been hanged in England. in 1951 there were 6,820 killings in the United States, and only L23 in all of England. Of the 6,820 U.S. homicides only 105 cases got the death penalty, while England hanged 19 of her 123. One out of every six English killers died
for his crime, whilb in this country it was one out of 65. There can be little doubt but that the certainty of punishment in England for the crime of murder prevents hornicide in a big way. When they say "Thou Shalt Not Kill" in England, that's what they mean.
Concerning the Social ,l""lnrirr,uation that this column has been discussing recently, Raymond Moley writes: "The dollar you paid for Social Security last year is not in Uncle Sam's till in safekeeping for you. It has been spent for guns, or to feed a family in Pakistan, or to keep a military attache in the Paris embassy well clad for tomorrow's cocktail party. When you call for it at the age of 65 the government will have to get it from a lot of somebodies through taxes, and YOU will be one of the somebodies."

The story is printed that recently Winston Churchill was sitting in his customary seat in Parliament and taking a bit of a nap to kill time, when one of his adversaries rose to speak. He began "I am a very modest 6311-." At this point Churchill woke, and asked a friend sitting next to him what the speaker had just said. He was told, "he says he is a very modest man." Said Churchill, dropping'back into shrmber: "He has a great deal to be modest about."
***
Churchill was critical, but not quite as sharp-tongued as the French philosopher, Montaigne, when he uttered the most famous criticism of the rich since the Bible declared that it is as easy for a rich man to get into heaven as for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Montaigne

And rough was the great Dutch scholar of the fifteenth centurt Erasmus, in his opinion of preaching. He said: "We see not a few mortals, trying to emulate this divine virtue with more zeal than success, fall into a feeble and disjointed loquacity, obscuring the subject and burdening the wretched ears of their hearers with a vacant mass of words and sentences crowded together beyond alt possibility of enjoyment. And writers who have tried to lay down the principles of this art have gained no other result than to display their own poverty while expounding abundance." ***

California is easily the best PAINTED state in the American union. No doubt on earth about it.
It might well be claimed for California also, that she is the best REPAIRED state in the union.
California is innately and enthusiastically proud of her A,PPEARANCE. Drive through California in any part or in anv direction, and seldom do you see a drab looking building, :r rvobbly fence, a leaning barn, a disjointed roof, a dirty corner, or other eyesore so common in most states.
The climate of California lends much to the appearance of her buildings. The fact that in rainy weather it is not hot, and in hot weath,er it does not rain, gives a well painted surfacc long life, and cleanly and bright appearance.
It is a mixture of heat and rain that tears off paint surface.
Add to this the piide of the average Californian, both citv and country dweller, in the LOOKS of his home, his banr, his fences, and all of his possessions, and you discover the reason why this IS the best painted state.
And repairs come largely under the same head. Iior the same reason that paint holds well, wooden buildings also livc long and look sound, in California.
The lumber retailer who is out to sell all the building mateiial in his community, as well as the paint to cover it, thus has several strong elements working in his favor.
Let him take advantage of them to the fullest degree.
It is interesting to note the names of the men who organized the first state-wide retail lumber association in California. It lrappened during the last week in October, 1922, when a group of prominent dealers from all parts of the state met at the Whitcomb Hotel, San Francisco, and unanimously voted to create the California Retail Lumbermen's Association. Here were the men who did it:
The first president was C. W. Pinkerton, of Whittier. Fred E. Conner, of Sacramento, was made first vice president, F. Dean Prescott, of Fresno, was made second vice president, Mat Harris, of San Francisco, was made third vice president, rvhile Herman Freese, of San Francisco, was made treasurer. These five, together rvith the following group, made up the first board of directors:
C. H. Chapman, Santa Ana; W. T. Davies, Pasadena; D. F. Fickling, ,Long Beach;A. J. Stoner, Sawtelle; Elmore King, Bakersfield; J. C. Ferger, Fresno; !V. E. Landrarn, Nlerced; Geo. L.

If you should hear a sawmill man complaining about business at anv time, cheer him up by telling him how much better things are than they used to be. There appeared in these columns more than a generation ago the story of a tourist, driving through the pine forests of Arkansas, who saw a small sawmill by the side of the road, and stopped to talk to the owner. The one-gallus mill man was talkative, and showed no hesitation about discussing conditions as he found thenr in the lumber making business. His story went like this:
"This here mill didn't cost me ary a cent to begin with, because my father-in-law died and left it to me, all clear of debt. Labor ain't never cost me nothing because me and mv two boys do all the work, so we ain't never had to hire no outside help.
"The timber we've cut ain't cost nothing neither, because just between you and me we been sort of stealin' it ofi the land owned by a rich Yankee who ain't got nobody watching it. And we been favored in the cost of shippin' our lumber cause my cousin is district freight agent for the railroad and he fixes it so our freight don't cost us much.
"That's the way it goes. No wages, no cost of timber, and hardly nothing for freight. And do you know that last year -the first year I've had the mill-I only lost two thousand dollars."
Mr. John J. Marsh, general sales manager of Marsh \A'all Products, Inc., of Dover, Ohio, will arrive in Southern Caiifornia on November 2, to hold a meeting of the Western Division salesmen, for the purpose of introducing to the generzrl trade Marlite's new Plank & Block pre-finished panel'
This is an exclusive tongue-and-groove process of application which eliminates all mouldings and adhesive. According to Mr. Ed Crampton, Western Division Manager for the concern, this opens a vast ner,l' field for Marsh products, ;rs it can easily be installed by the handyman.
This material can be installed over studs and furring strips, or over solid backing. It is economically priced and should make an excellent over-the-counter iter.n for the lumber dealer.
According to Mr. Crarnpton, Mr. Marsh will spend the first two weeks of November making a general survey of business conditions and the building materials industry in the West.
"We will hold open-house for the dealers and buildine materials trade all day Wednesday, November 4. All dealers are cordially invited to attend this important meeting," says Mr. Crampton.

After a day of committee sessions, the meeting opened with management conferences on "How to Meet a Declining Sales Volume" and "Employee Incentives." At the forme: conference, it was agreed that many dealers easily can offset any drop in sales to the housing market by going c,ut after business aggressively, spending their advertising dollars more wisely, stressing better employee training, and placing greater emphasis on package selling.

The firm of Hulbert & Muffiy, with headquarters at Cloverdale, and The M. and M. Wood Working Company, headquarters at Portland, became members of the California Redworrd Association on October 2, and October 12, respectively.
The Hulbert & Muffly mill is located near Cloverdale at Yorkville, and is operated as a partnership by G. R. Muffly and Wayne Hulbert. Muffly is general manager and Hulbert is in charge of the woods operations. The company primarilv manufactures redwood lumber. Hulbert and Muffly, both young men, started their operation six years ago with the help of L. A. Hulbert, father of Wayne Hulbert. Careful manufacturing and a highly efficient organization have been the principal keys to the success of the company. Smalle.st of the CRA members, the company rnaintains an office and rail car loading facilities in Cloverdale. Lumber destincd for Northern California is shipped by company-owned trucks. The office manager is Howard E. French.
The M. and M. Wood Working Company has long been a leader in processing forest products. Noted at first as the nation's leader in the production of doors, the Company found it a natural step to go into the plywood field in 1927. Today
abott 58/o of its sales consist of plywood, while doors provide about 18/o. The remainder is lurnber and other wood products. M. and M. is the only volume rnanufacturer of redwood plywood. It produces a vast number of doors, about two million annually. The Company also has tu'o sawmills a glue factory and manufactures wooden tanks and pipes. Under the presidency of Tom Malarkey, the personnel management has been enlarged with men selected frorn other industries. The M. and M. Wood Working Company, starting in a small millwork factory with a capital of $600, in 36 years has become a widespread corporation with 14 major operating divisions. Headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon lr'ith divisions in Longvie'r'r', Washington; Portland Lyons, Idanha and Springfield, Oregon; ancl Eureka, Califor'rria. A Subsidiary of NI. and M., the Eureka Redwood Lumber Company, has been a member of the California Redwood Association for several years. M. and NI. is one of the two largest manufacturers of plyrvood in the country, but irr rts California operations it is also interested in lumber and other 'forest products and has acquired extensive timber holdings in Del Norte and Humboldt Counties.
Jim Higgins, Higgins Lumber Company, San Francisco, has just retrrrned to San Francisco after a two 'iveeks busiriess trip covering much of the Pacific Northwest territory.
Signs of both strength and rveakness in the lumber market result in a rather confusing picture as to the lumber supply and demand in tl-re secoird quarter of 1953, reported t1-re Lumber Survey Committee in its 89th Quarterly Report to the Secretary of Commerce. A gradual softening in the market was reflected in the gentle slide in the \\,'holesale Price Index for lumber, and in reports of the closing of some mills caught betrveen high production costs and a smaller retnrn for their products. Evidence of strength could be found in the high level of output of active mills during the first l-ralf of the year and in the considerable amount of lumber moving to major markets.
The large volume of lumber produced during the second quarter brought the output of lumber for the first half of 1953 to an estimated 19.363 million board feet, 7 per cent above the corresponding 1952 period. That total shiprnents of lumber corrtinuecl to be slightly more than production .rr,as attributed by the Committee to the firmer tendencies of harrlwoods.
Estimated hardn.ood production in the second quarter fell 8 per cent ltelor,r' the first quarter and rvas exceeded by both shipments and nerv orders. Roth shipments and nerv orders for softu,oods, hor,vever, were belou'the corresponding second quarter production.
Tl-re Committee reported that gross mill stocks of lumber declined 5 per cent during the second quarter of 1953 to an estimated 7,739 million board feet at the end of June. A decrease of 3 per cent took place in retail yard lumber inventories during the quarter while retail sales helcl up rvell.
The Lumber Survey Committee further stated that general business conditions are expected to be good through the rest of the year and indicate a good potential demand for lumber, although problems of the second quarter are expected to persist through the balance of the year.
The current quarterlv report of the Comn.rittee is the B9th of a consecutive series prepared at the request of the Secretary of Commerce; it is not an offi cial government publication.
Ray Nortvedt has been appointed a field deput.v by John Anson Ford, chairman of the Board o{ Supervisors of Los Angeles County. Ray has been associated with the lumber business in Los Angeles for many years and t'as formerly with the Gallaher Hardr,r,ood Co.
Homes With R.O.Ws Sell Fosler-Stoy Sold longer Buyers are selecting homes with great care today. They are choosing thoie homes which combine beauty with comfort and efrciency features-plus ualues that set them apart. That's why some homes are sold before completion, and others carry a "For Sale" card for many months before moving. Volume production has kept the price down to the cost of ordinary wood windows. R.O.Ws have outsold all competitors for years, and their popularity is still increasing.
Civilization began when men began grouping together for mutual protection and safety.
The civilization of business lies in co-operation through business organizations.
This magazine is a firm believer in the necessity for men in the same line of business banding together to improve their business conditions, and better to serve the public.
It believes that every lumberman should belong to his rightful organization or organizations.
It believes in the glory of being A PART.
In the beginning we note a property peculiar to the English language.
"A PART." Separate those words and we make an expression which means to join-"A PART."
Bring them together and $'e separate the item of which we speak-"A PART."
Perhaps it has been this peculiarity of our language that has caused us to be, individually, "a part apart" in the industry-every man for himself.
\JI/e have, too many of us, kept tob much within the four walls of our offices. We may have had our names on the rosters of our local or state or national trade association. but that was all.
We have failed sufficiently to realize that there was a great world outside-a world in which we had a part-if we wished to take it; and which we were eventually punished for not taking.
Our ruminations have been introspective-we have been prone to magnify the PART at the expense of the WHOLE; a false mental attitude which has wrought great harm.
Strange to say, we have failed to take a lesson from the fundamentals of our business FOR THE SAKE of our business.
We know perfectly well that a building must be built according to a well determined plan; we know that in its design so many pieces of structural timber must be placed to give strength and rigidity to the building.
And there is no need to say that we would not think of attempting to guarantee strength to any building in which the general plan was followed but some of the structural timbers had been omitted.
Such a procedure would really be unthinkable IN our business-but FOR our business, that is just what we have been doing for years-and are still doing.
A single 2x4 in your yard does not appear to have much
importance-but IN THE BUILDING it is of supreme value.
That value appears only when it LEAVES YOUR YARD and goes out into the world and DOES ITS REAL DUTY.
The PUBLIC recognizes the importance of that piece of 2x4, and, of WHAT IT DOES, and however unimportant it may seem to one who sees it ON THE PILE, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY IN THE BUILDING.
Take it away and the building might collapse; it has received a VALUE; it is of IMPORTANCE: it has become a PART OF THE WHOLE.
And you-you who occupy IN THIS INDUSTRY the same position as does the 2x4 in the CONSTRUCTION-what of you?
You may think you are but a small man-you may think that you have but a small part to plhy-but-IN THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR INDUSTRY-in the BUILDING OF YOUR COMMUNITY-you are that very essential "2x4."
You have a most vital part-a most important roleand if you take your proper place in the STRUCTURE OF THINGS as planned by the Great Architect; if you manfully hold up against the strains and stresses to which you will be subjected-then you will have the glory of BEING A PART.
Your trade association is a very vital element of your industry; it is the sole means by which the thought of the industry can be expressed; it is the sole means by which the best ideas may be developed and the wrong practices eliminated; it is the sole means by which the Government -in time of need-can call upon your industry for help.
The trade association represents even more than ,,public opinion," for it can be made a governing power with thc right, delegated, to be sure, to reward and to punish.
The excuse some merchants give for not joining their trade association-that they can't see where they get their money's worth-is a most humiliating confession of igno_ rance and of mental narrowness that they should be ashamed to make.
The trade association represents the power of mass_a power inherently impossible to individual units_and in_ deed the only power that can avail an entire industry.

Appointment of Virgil G. Peterson as sec:etary-manager of the Red. Cedar Shingle Bureau is announced by Earl S. Wasser, Bureau president.
The new Bureau manager has been u'ith the organization since 1939, serving successively as Midn'est fieldman. trade promotit.rn manag'er, assistant manager and treasurer. He is a graduate of the University of Washington.
Peterson's background is closely associated n'ith the red cedar shingle industry. His father, the late Cl-ras. Peterson, was a pioneer Northwest shingle manufacturer, and the nerv Bureau leaderivorked in the shingle mills for a number of years.
Peterson succeeds \\r. \\r. Woodbridge, 'ivho has headed the Bureau for the past 19 years and u'ho is retiring because of ill health. Woodbridge's retirement removes from the lumber industry scene one of its most colorful and widely known figures, as he traveled a major portion of the tirne and was acquainted u'ith lumber dealers and u'holesalers throughout the nation.
"We are gratified to have a man of Virg Peterson's experience and capabilities to fill the spot left vacant by Bill Woodbridge's retirement," NIr. Wasser stated. "C)ur industry feels deeply grateful to 'Woody' for his untiring efforts in ottr behalf for so many years, and u,e cqnsider ourselves most fortunate to have Mr. Peterson available to fill his shoes."
With the theme of "Advertising Plus N{erchandising" the Southn'est Plyr.vood Corporation, 6819 \\rest Boulevard, Los Angeles, recently announced tirc company had available for the Southern California retail dealers attractive displays featuring Bavlaun Philippine I\Iahoganl'. These compact sales pieces can be obtained on request.
"We are going to carry the ball in our sales promotion campaigns for the dealers and reach right out to the consumer trade to stimulate sales at the retail level," cleclared Jack Pollard, president of the rvholesale distributing firm.

-Eddie GuestMan is arrogant in proportion to his ignorance. Man's natural tendency is toward egotism. Man, in his infancy of knowledge, thinks that all creation was formed for him. For several ages he saw, in the countless worlds that sparkle through space like the bubbtes of a shoreless ocean' only the petty candles, the household torches, that Providence had been pleased to light for no other purpose but to make the night more agreeable to man.
Astronomy has corrected this delusion of human vanity, and man now reluctantly confesses that the stars are worlds, larger and more glorious than his own-that the earth on which he crawls is a scarcely visible speck on the vast chart of creation.
But in the small as in the vast, God is equally profuse of life. The traveler looks upon the tree and fancies its boughs were formed for his shelter in the summer sun, or his fuel in the winter frosts. But in. each leaf of these boughs the creator has made a world-it swarms with innumerable races. Each drop of water in a moat is mo:e populous than a kingdom is of men. Ever5rwhere then in this immense design, science brings new life to light. Life is the one pervading principle, and even the thing that seems to die and putrify, but engenders new life, and charlges to fresh forms of matter. '

In just a little more than one year's time, Jim Ben Edens has become one of the outstanding lurnber manufacturers of America. All his life he has been in the sawmill business in East Texas with his father, \Vilfred Edens, now retired fror:r active service. For many years they operated the EdensBirch Lurnber Cornpany, at Corrigan, Texas, the mill being one of modest size and equipment. Then they bought a modern sawmill plant at Cleveland, Texas, rebuilt and enlarged it, an<l they recently rebuilt and enlarged the Corrigair mill. Year after year tl-rey added to their timber holdings, trrracticing forest conservation ancl selective logging, until their two East Texas mills now prornise continuous operation.
In September, 1952, J. B. Eclens really stepped out. Announcement came that he and his associates had purchased control of Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., which had its headquarters in McNary, Arizona, and operated big sawmill plants at McNary, Flagstaff, ar.rd Overgaard, in that state. The McNary plant is equipped with three band headrigs and a horizontal resaw; the Flagstaff plant with two heaclrigs ; and the Overgaard plant with a band and gang. Headquarters were at McNary.
Recently an electior.r was held ancl J. B. Edens was elected president of Soutl.rwest Lumber Mills, Inc., at a meeting of
the directors. He succeeded J. E. Clifiord, who has held that office for several years, and who is now chairman of the executive committee of the company.
Freeman Schultz was elected vice president in charge of the Flagstaff Division, and Richard L. Kemp vice president in charge of the NfcNary Division. Mr. Schultz has been executive vice president and general manager of the Saginaw & Manistee l-umber Company, at Flagstaff, which concern rvas recently integrated with the Southwest operation at that point. Mr. Kernp joined Southwest on August first, 1953, coming to them from Susanville, California.
It had been announced in August last that the big mills of Southvvest Lumber l,[ills, Inc., and of the Saginaw & Manistee Lurnber Company at Flagstaff, had been integrated for the better operation of both. In the past these two mills have had a cooperative logging arrangement, with Saginaw & Manistee furnishing the logs for both plants. Both mills cut government forest tirnber from a mighty stand of ponderosa Pine.
The general office of Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., has been moved to Phoenix, Arizona, and is located 840 North

Expenditures totaling $3.3 billion for nerv constructiorr in September were virtually the same as the record August figtrre and were 5 percent above September 1952, according to pretiminary estimates of the U. S' Labor Depattment's Bureau of I-abor Statistics and the Building Materials and Construction Division of the U. S. Department'of Commerce. Private construction accounted for the entire increase froln 1952.
Private expenditures for new construction ($2.2 billion) were 8 percent above the September 1952 figure, while total public outlays ($1.1 billion) were about the same as a year ago.
Commercial building rose contraseasonally to a new peak in September, and private outlays for public utility construction held at the record August level. Residential building declined about seasonally in September. Private industrial building, which normally rises in August and September, remained steady for tl-re second successive month after a gradual decline earlier in the year. Highway construction declined slightly less than seasonally from the record August figure, and public school building continued the upward trend that began in X{arcir. I{ilitary and naval construction has remained at the same dollar level for the past four months.
For the first 9 months of 1953, expenditures for all types of new construction amounted to $25.9 billion-7 percent above the January-September 1952 total. Physical volume (expenditures adjusted for cost changes) also was up moderately from last year.
Private outlays in 1953 maintained about a 9-percent lead over 1952 in each of the first three quarters, and by the end of September totaled $17.5 billion. The increase from a year ago occurred chiefly because of substantial gains in commercial building, and increased private spending spending for public utility and residential construction. Private educational and religious building rvere about a fifth higher than in 1952, and private outlays for new industrial plant were practically unchanged.
Total public expenditures for new construction thus far i:r 1953 ($8.4 billion) were about 5 percent above the JanuarvSeptember 1952 total. Hou,ever, the n-rargin of gain over 1952 has narrowed from about 1O percent in the first quarter to 3 and 2 percent in the second and third quarters, respectivelyThe gains this year largely reflect more spending for highways and public industrial plant. Increased outlays for schools and tor sewer and water facilities also contributed to the over all 1953 rise in public activities.

Many years ago we began preaching building SERVICE, selling IDEAS, selling BUILDINGS and their FUNCTIONS rather than boards and shingles. At that time very few lumber dealers in the territory we were trying to serve, were paint dealers. And almost NONE were paint MERCHANTS. Those who handled paint generally carried it on musty shelves as an unpushed and unappreciated sideline.
But our conception was that to sell building material as the shape of building THINGS and building NEEDS' PAINT must be used, because when the consumer thinks BUILDINGS, or building ADDITIONS he thinks of them ATTRACTMLY PAINTED. No doubt about that, is there ?
Then to sell building functions successfully, the lumber dealer should sell the paint to go with the material, to cover it, to beautify it, to protect it. If he sells a man a barn plan, he sell's him a PAINTED barn plan; if a porch, it's a PAINTED porch, every time, that makes the appeal.
So the lumber dealer is the best possible paint merchant because his business is selling the stuff that paint is made to cover, protect, and beautify. So why shouldn't he sell both? Who could be in better position? Who has a better right?
And besides, he is in business for profit, and there is fine return on the paint investment.
The greatest living authority on paint said not long ago: "There is no doubt on earth that the live lumber merchant is the best possible paint merchant." We have heard the same thing from many paint men.
So for many years we have been talking "PAINT" right along with lumber, because they work together like the legs on a stool-helping one another. At first the paint men took no interest in our paint efforts. They didn't think much of the lumber dealer as a paint dealer, because, as
they told us frankly, the lumber dealer "Isn't a merchant and we want our paint merchandised-not just stocked'"
Things have changed mightily. The lumber dealer HAS become a merchant.
The thing that makes paint a great lumber sideline is the teamwork of the two materials. When the dealer finds lumber hard to sell "as is," he just dresses it up with a plan and some paint, and-Presto ! it sells itself.
There's no doubt about it. If ther's one thing on earth more infectious and contagious than the Bubonic plague' it's the PAINT fever on thc part of the housewife-and her hubby too.
Why, Mr. Lumber Dealer, every BLESSED HOUSEWIFE IN YOUR SALES TERRITORY IS A PAINT PROSPECT NOW. Every blessed one.
There's no use talking; during the sunny season every housewife is filled with a desire to grab a brush and paint something. It's the nature of the home loving woman to want to paint things at this time of the year. The porch furniture, the flower boxes, the fence, the back porch, the lawn swing; everything, in fact, that is looking dingy.
Tie up with this desire. You know the old saw: "A board and a nail and a can of paint, Make many a place look new that ain't."
YOU furnish the board. Why not the can of paint? Why not the nail? Why not the "new" idea' If you sell the IDEA, she'll buy the board, and the paint, and the brush, and the nail, and a hammer to drive it with.
Sell one paint job in each neighborhood, and you have everyone in the neighborhood THINKING PAINT.
Yes, sir ! Paint belongs to the lumber dealer, and if he doesn't sell it he's refusing good money. You can sell paint jobs when you can't even start a house bill, and it furnishes something to keep you eternally busy, serving your territory, and selling something at a profit.

On Saturday, Aug. 26, 1950 the world's first redwood tree farm was dedicated in Hammond Grove, near Eureka. Participating in the ceremony were Gov. Earl Warren, W. S. Rosecrans, chairman of the State Board of Forestry, and George B. Mcleod, president of the Hammond l-umber Co., in the I,resence of about 2000 persons.
"The inauguration of the tree farm movement," declared Mr. Rosecrans, "is recognition of the fact that trees are a crop and that it pays to grow them. It marks the transition frottr exploiting and depleting our forest resources to reproducing and perpetuating them."
Alert professional foresters had for years been preaching the doctrine of perpetual forest yield, thus to establish and rnaintain the industry on a permanent basis. It rvas in tht' State of Washington that the movement to provide a continuous supply of lumber through scientific farming was startcd. This was in 1941.
For the redwood farm, dedicated in 1950, the Redwood Association has laid down four rules, which require the owner to give assurance of his willingness to maintain the land in condition for the production of forest crops, to provide protection from fire ancl other hazards, to practice selective log-
ging and to provide information regarding his farm rvhen requested.
By virtue of selective logging the young redwood saplings rnake very rapid growth-a tree tu,o feet in diameter doubles its volume in'a period of 20 years. Seedlings and young trees rvill make sufficient growth to justify reharvest in 45 years, yielding a profit. It is by the careful application of farming methods that the Redwood -\ssociation and the owners expect to perpetuate the forests while at the same time providing a continuous supply of very valuable lur-nber.
"We are here today," declared Gov. Warren in his dedicatory address, "acknowleding the fact that we are but stewards of California's God-given abundance, as we dedicate our oldest living resource into perpetuity."
But the redwood does not stand alone among trees as a basis for successful farming. Within the last few years the Douglas fir has taken the lead in providing a tree crop. Until recently this fir was commonly regarded as rvorthless, a mere "weed tree," but desirable uses have been found for it and the dernand promises to be permanent.
Owners of many thousands of acres in Humboldt Countv are discovering that the planned tree crop will provide a more satisfactory yield than can be anticipated from the expensive clearing of the land for other farming purposes.
Prof. Emanual Fritz of the Llniversity of California College of Forestry urges that "a perpetually yielding forest should remain in the Humboldt as a firm ancl enduring asset and tax base for the region."
Tree farming in California is still in its beginnings, although more than 100,000 acres of Douglas fir alone has alreadr. been certified for that purpose ancl several tirnes rhat area is now ready for certification
The tree farm is taxpaying, prir,ateh' owned lancl operated Ior permanent yield, under necessarv regulations laid dou-n by appropriate governmental agencies. The dedication of the first redwood tree farm is a significant event in contemporaneous history.

Portland, Oct. l-The following report of the third quarter, 1953, production and shipments of Western Pine Region lumber products and estimate of probable third quarter shipments lvere released today by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretarymanager of the Western Pine association. The report covered Idaho \\,'hite Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine. The statement in full:
"The heavy demand for lumber during the first half of this year eased off a little during the third quarter. Preliminary estimates indicate third quarter shipments by mills in the Western Pine Region were 2,088 million board feet, or 6'3 percent below the same period in 1952. Shipments of 5,755 rnillion for the first nine rnonths, however, were still 2.9 percent ahead of last year.
"Production is also falling, compared with last vear. The third quarter cut of 2,306 million was down 4.7 percent frorn a year ago. Production of 5,865 million for the year-to-date was up 7.3 percent from 1952, partly due to the unusually mild winter which did not force the usual seasonal reduction in output.
"Stock now on hand at mills in the Western Pine Region are estimated at 1,775 million board feet compared with 1,625 million a year ago and 1,665 million on the first of the year.
"Total business activity in the country is still near its peak, though there has been some decline in production of durable goods and a pickup in many consumer lines. The year's dollar volume of construction is probably headed for a new record, with store, of6ce and commercial building figures being far ahead of last year. Housing starts in August were down 5 percent from last year, however. and September probabl-v will not shorv up even that well. While housing starts of 769,800 units in the first eight months of the year were 2,300 more than in the same period last year, it is expected that the year's total will fall somewhat behind that for 1952.
"The promised tax reduction at the end of the year and tlte easier monev policy adopted very recently by the administration both should tend to make more money available for home construction. Apparently, GI loans are easier to obtain now than they were during the summer. While these developments rvill help for the long pull, they probably won't greatly affect the demand for lumber between now and the end of the year.
"Based upon such factors and all other available information, it now seerls probable that, during the fourth quarter of 1953, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine Region will approximale 1,750 million board feet crr about 8 percent under the same 1952 quarter."

A pocket humidity indicator has been designed by the resedrch staff of the California Forest and Range Experiment Station, Berkeley.
Six spots on a 2f" x 3%" card indicator are treated with cobalt chloride solutions, differing in concentration. The spots change from pink to blue as humidity decreases. Relative humidity can be estimated from the card within 5 to 10 per cent of actual humidity without other aids, the station reports.
Fir Plywood is now a major material in the building industry, and is manufactured in several grades. There are four commercially standard face veneer grades from which all grades are developed.
"A" is called sound, and although permitting patches of various types and sizes. is intended for natural, paint or stain finishes.
"B" is described as solid, and the identifying patch is tlre round plug patch about 23f" in diameter. It is unmatched for color or figure, and the direction r.rf the grain in the pat,ch does not necessarily parallel the grain of the face veneer. This grade is intended for use where open de{ects are objectionable, and is considered :;uitable for painted surfaces. Sound. tight knots up to 1" in diameter are permitted, but seldom found, in this grade.
"C" and "D" are really reject veneers due to the fact that both u,'i11 permit open defects, such as knotholes. The main difference is the maximum size knotl-role permitted. The "C" adnrits one up to l" in least dimension. The "D" admits knotholes no larger than 2f" largest dimension. There are some other technical differences. but these are the two most readily observed.
The "C" is used as the back on "one-side" Exterior ftlyu,ood i as the face on Plyscord Sheathing, and as inner plies in Exterior.
"D" is used as the back on "one-side" Interior Plywood and Interior Sheathing. There are three basic types of Douglas Fir Ply'it'ood manufactured at the present time. These are properlf identified as "Interior," "Exterior," and "Boat Hull."
Interior Fir Plyrvood is manufactured in several grades, and for many uses, but all grades use a l0-cycle glue which is only water resistant and should not be used in any place subjected to extreme moisture conditions.
(The term lO-cycle is derived from the testirig method used. This test requires that a sample 6 inches square be placed in water at room temperature and allou'ecl to "soak"
for four hours, after whi'ch it is removed and allowed to dry for 20 hours at a temperature no higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a "cycle." After this cycle has been completed ten times the panel must not show delamination longer than 2f" along the 6" edge, nor deeper th.an f" into the glue-line of the panel. If this delamination is no more than that the panel is then qualified as a lGcycle glue panei.)
Exterior Fir Plywood is manufactured in ;rany "face grades" also, but all grades use as the bonding agent, a fullv n'aterproof adhesive, and is intended for use in places subjected to u,ater or extreme moisture conditions.
The test used to determine the degree of ivater-proofness of the glue-bond is rather extensive and complicated, but a general explanation of some of the steps may be of some interest.
Small samples of the panel are prepared and boiled in water for four houqs, after which they are dried at a temperature of approximately 140 degrees Fahreni-reit, for 16 hours. They are then boiled again for the same period of four hours. While still wet the samples are placed between two steel "jaws" and literally pulled apart-at the glueline.
After this "shearing" or "pulling apart" of the plywood a careful examination is made to determine how much of the "glue-line area" shovi's exposed glue or adhesive, and how much of the same area is still covered n'ith wood fibers. If the wood fibers completely cover the area it indicates complete u'ood failure and no glue failure. If 75% of tlre area is covered with 'ivood fibers, and 25/o shows the adhesive, it indicates 75/o wood failure and 25/o glue failure.
A glue or adhesive, to be approved for use in Exterior Fir Pl1'rvood, must sholv a "wood-failure" factor ol %/o or rnore. and plywood carrying the EXT. DFPA stamp, (Continued on Page 58)
(Continued from Page 54)
under testing, must shon' an average of 85/, u'ood-failure to clualify as an Exterior Fir Plywood.
Nlarine Fir Plyu-ood is no longer an official type accordin to the industry, Comtrrercial Standards o:: Nlilitary Spccifications, (MIL-P-66A. Amdt. 1). This has been replaced by "BOAT-HULL" and the name ::Nlfarine"orr longer designates a definite type.
BOAT-HULL Fir Ph-u'ood (bonded rvith a Full-Waterproof Exterior Adhesir.e), according to the Nfilitarl' Specifications, is suppliecl in AA. Some AB hls been accepted. llou'ever, as a COI\{N{ERCIAL item Boat-Hull CONSTRUCTION Fir Plyu'ood is manufactured in all of the same grades as other Exterior Type panels. The most important feature of the Boat-Hull panel is the COI{E. or INNER-PLY CONSTRUCTION. All of the InnerPlies. or \reneer. MUST BE SOLID, rvith all Knothoies or Voids prroperll' patched before gluing into plvn'ood. This resultt it, u plyn'ood free of all concealecl r'oids-and is consiclered by leading Boat Builders as the best panel for boat construction.
"Boat-Hull' typ" Fir Plyu'ood is also verv it-nportallt in many Industrial uses. not only because of the lvater-proof boncl. but also the SOLID CONSTRUCTION.

R. B. Robertson, Jr., president of the great Champion Paper & Fibre C<rmpany, u'hich manufactures huge quantities of fine paper from wood pulp, writing from his office in Harnilton, Ohio, expresses high optimism regarding the business outlook. He stated that there had been no summer slump in 1953 as there was in 1952, and that a 6"u1'y demand for all their products makes him very optimistic cnncerning the immediate future.
"NIARINE" is just an Adjective, and does NOT designate. an official type of Douglas Fir Plyrvoocl. As used by manr', it rnerely indicates that the GLt.f E used is Water-Proof.
CONSTRUCTION as well as GLUE-BOND must be considered in selecting a plyrvood, if satisfactorl' performance is expected.
Mr. Carl Kreig, owner-manager of Carl Kreig X,Iillwork Shop, Route 3, Hood River, Oregon, operates a small planing rrill and dry kiln for the purpose of producing dry finish lum_ ber. This lumber is utilized in the manufacture of doors. win_ dow sash, cabinets and interior trim. Mr. Kreig, rvho does construction work in the Hood River area, also kiln dries dimension lumber for use in floor joists and studding.
His Moore Cross-Circulation Kiln is possibly the srnallest and most modern that has been installed on the pacific Coast in the last few years. The kiln building and boiler house are housed within one building with a r2'i tire wall betr,veen the
boiler room and the kiln itself. 1-he l<iln and boiler plant have been so located away from other builclings on the premises that the proper insurance clearances are maintained.
A small low pressure (10 to 15 pSI) automatic boiler is used over a dutch oven so designed that either wood rvaste or oil can be used for heating the boiler. During the 'orrnal working day, the boiler is hancl fired, using planer shavings and wood r,vaste. During the periocrs that the plant is .ror,.,rali.u quiet, over week ends and nights, the oil burner is designed to automatically start up and take over the firing of the boiler rvhen ever the dutch oven fails to keep up the necessar). steam pressure. This particular installation is unique, in that it solves the wood waste disposal problem for a small plant and has also eliminated the overhead cost of maintaining fireman 24 hours a day for producing steam for the kiln.
Green storage tracks aheacl of the kiln provide adequate space for dry kiln trucks loaded with lumber to take advantaqe of partial air drying provided by the prevailing winds along the Columbia River. After the lumber has been dried, it is then moved laterally by transfer car direct into the planing shed where the lumber can be helcl in storage, or fed into the planer.
The small Moore Cross-Circulation Kiln at this plant has all the features of the conventional type commercial kiln but has been adapted in this particular case .for an installation where daily drying needs run betrveen 2_l and 4 thousand board feet.
This type and design kiln answers the clrying problem of small operators and they will be interestecl in visiting and inspecting this installation.
