84 Galifornia Exteriors, r. Provides A Big Volurne ltenr for LUMBER DEATERS

j t$/ood with its traditional adaptability makes possible that variation in design and application, which is the secret of individuality in homes. Beautiful Ponderosa Pine has won its desired place as the ideal wood for a great number of uses in home building. More and more architects and builders are turning to Ponderosa Pine to create beautiful exteriors.

This soft-textured wood has a straight, close, uniform grain. The Ponderosa Pine from the \$7'eyerhaeuser Klamath Falls mill is unexcelled in smoothness, appearance and uniformity. Here under one roof in the largest shed in the world, Ponderosa Pine is stored after being scientifically kiln dried. In storage it is never exposed to the elements from the time it leaves sash, screens, doors, cabinet work and shelving. Ponderosa is widely used for knotty pine paneling where it has earned an enviable reputation.

Ponderosa Pine has a low shrinkage facror, which is practically 30% less than some of the heavier soft woods. It is one of the premier woods in its ability to sta! in place. Carpenters like it, because it is easy ro work with. It nails well, saws well, machines well and glues well. Its ability to take and hold paint also adds to the value of Ponderosa.

While Ponderosa has developed such unusual popularity for exteriors, its many other uses also contribute to its saleability and make it a fast moving volume item. To mention a few, it is excellent for subflooring, shearhing, roof boards, siding, window frames, srorm the log pond until it arrives at the yard of the Retail Lumber Dealer. Its well seasoned condition when shipped from Klamath Falls helps it to meet exacting conditions.

All Essential Home Building Permitted Under SPAB Rulins

The impact on residential building of the SPAB policy curbing use of steel, copper, brass, bronze, and aluminum in nondefense construction projects will not be as severe as it first appeared, in the opinion of Northern and Southern California Homes Foundations. OPM has assured supply of materials to make possible the building of small homes in defense industry areas, and workers who are contributing their full strength to boosting production levels in our national drive for defense will find effective support in government policy when it comes to providing them with necessary and adequate shelter, according to the Foundations.

"No one realizes better than our government officials the desirability of maintaining and furthering good home conditions as a fundamental prerequisite to good working conditions," states Bernard B. Barber and Orrie W. Hamilton, Chairman of Northern and Southern California Homes Foundations. "The new SPAB policy will mean pinches here and there, it is true, but the building industry will do its part to meet the emergency. Homes may still be built; homes may still be repaired; homes may still be remodeled-everywhere.

"Two priorities tests will be applied on building projects--does the construction involve the use of appreciable quantities of critical materials, and is the construction directly necessary for national defense or clearly essential for the health and safety of the civilian population.

"Redesigning to permit the use of substitute materials can cut to a very minimum the critical metal materials which are used in small-home construction, and where substitutes can be made for critical materials, home building can go on, consistent with government policy and the needs of the families who are the backbone of our nation's defense efforts.

"Lurnber, the big item in small-home construction, is available, on a moderate price level. Retail lumber and building materials dealers as well as manufacturers are making every effort to provide adequate supplies."

"Two Answer Books on Home Building" will be sent upon post-card request to Northern California Homes Foundation, 1833 Broadway, Fresno, and Southern California }Iomes Foundation, 1348 E Street, San Diego.

Fall lsrue of Lumber Merchandising Newt

This l4o-foot span timber truss pedestrian bridge was assembled on the roadway before being moved into place across the San Lorenzo river at Santa Cruz. Calif.

The builders, Summerbell Roof Structures at Oakland, Calif., believe this method of construction to be more economical and satisfactory than building a bridge of this type from scaffolding.

The bridge employs TECO timber connectors and Wolmanized pressure treated lumber. It is designed to carry a live load of 80 lbs. per square foot and has an 8-foot rvalk. Height at center is approximately 20 feet.

Eighteen thousand board feet of select structural Douglas fir S4S was used. The lumber was fabricated before being treated at the Weed, Calif., plant of the American Lumber & Treating Co.

Cor ond Cargo Shippers

\(/est Coast Ships To Aid Delense

San Francisco, Nov. 8. The Federal division of emergency shipping today asked eight steamship companies operating from Pacific ports to provide nine cargo carriers for special "defense" purposes, presumed to be special trips to and from the Orient.

Shipping circles here believe the freighters will be used to carry defense supplies and munitions to the Philippines. Washington dispatches indicated the vessels may be used to transport war cargoes to Russia by way of Vladivostok. President Roosevelt asked Lend-Lease Administrator Edward Stettinius Jr. to expedite plans to transport supplies to Russia "as quickly as possible."

Matson Navigation Co. was asked to provide two freighters for special trips before Jan. 1, 1942. The following companies were asked to turn over one ship each: American-Hawaiian Steamship Co., Weyerhaeuser Lines, Calmar, Luckenbach Lines, McCormick Steamship Co., Isthmian Line and Arrow Line.

Amended Douglas Fir Price Schedule

Washington, D. C., Nov. 1, l94l-A number of amendments to price schedule No. 26, Douglas Fir Lumber, designed to fit the schedule better into established trade practices and requirements of the construction industry were announced today by Leon Henderson, administrator, Office of Price Administration.

The amendments fall in three groups. Under the first, an allowance of $3.50 per 1,000 board feet is permitted for retail sales to consumers and contractors when the following conditions are observed:

(1) The sale must be for less than 20,000 board feet.

(2) The lumber must be delivered to the job site or other point specified by the purchaser.

(3) The privilege of exchanging the goods and returning unused material must be extended to the purchaser.

(a) The seller must have the ability to replace deficiencies and adjust complaints from stocks on hand kept for that Purpose.

Effect of this will be to enable contractors to obtain services customarily given by retailers on shipments made direct from the mill u'here the lumber is produced to the job where it is used. Under the original ceiling no allowance was made such services. In a num,ber of cases specific interpretations were issued covering out-of-pocket costs for such services. The amendment supersedes such interpretations and in effect embodies them in the schedule itself.

Under the second group of changes a number of types of lumber omitted from the original schedule are brought in.

These include:

(1) Shop lumber from which doors and windows are made.

(2) A number of sizes of flooring and ceiling lumber.

(3) Minor adjustments were made in the ceiling prices for select merchantable and selecf structural timbers, 1"x4" and. I"xlA' boards, boards and timbers surfaced /q,, ofr, Yx3tt number 3 grade, and Number 1 boards and timbers permitting up to 15 percent Number 2 grade.

The third change in the schedule provides a new definition for a mixed car. The original schedule provided an allowance of $2 a 1,000 board feet for a "mixed car" of lumber because of the additional cost involved in loading. The

Three Markets Least Affected by

\Tartime Restrictions

In a bulletin issued by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, distributed at the recent convention at Del Monte, Calif., Secretary B. B. (Bernie) Barber says in part:

"'War economy with its attendant priorities, shortages and transportation difficulties will demand keen, intelligent management on the part of all lumber yard operators.

"A survey of the present situation indicates that there are three large important markets that will be least afiected by these wartime problems and restrictions. In fact, the war economies will help to expand some parts of each of these three markets and we urge you to take advantage of these sales opportunities to their fullest extent.

"They are: l. Low-cost housing . . . already the biggest field of demand. Low-cost housing has been given the "go signal,, by Washington and it is worthy of a real promotional effort. Housing Coordinator Palmer says . . 525,000 houses will be built in twelve months which began July first. definition of a mixed car in the schedule, however, was found to be too lax. This definition has now been revised by the setting up of specific classes of lumber and the provision that at least 1,000 feet each of four or more classes must be included to make the car qualify as "mixed". The classes established in the new definition are based solely on type of lumber rather than type, width, and thickness as in the old schedule.

2. Essential repair and remodeling . the consensus of Washington opinion is that there will be no curtailment in making available essential repair and maintenance material and equipment. This field should be especially good due to neglect during depression years.

3. Farm buildittg Agriculture is an essential part of the National Defense Program. The development of this program will demand the increased construction of farm houses and utility buildings. Farm income is now the highest in many years and the farmer is in a position to build and improve his buildings."

Three Little Ships

Three little ships put out to sea, Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria; They were trig and trim as they well might be, Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria; The ocean was wide, uncharted too, But gallant and gay was their "addio," Pinta. Nina and Santa Maria.

Oh, the sea was big when the land grew dim ! Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria; But there was the captain-they trusted him, Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria; They knew he would surely find the way, To anchor them safe in some sunlit bay, So they sailed right on by night and by day, Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria.

Came roaring gales and the waves were high, Dread lightening flashed from an ink black sky, "Can we make it," groaned one. Quoth the other, "We'll try)'

Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria.

And what did they find when the voyage was o'er, Finta, Nina and Santa Maria. Why, a brave new world and a smiling shore, Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria; And this is the lesson we cherish still. There's always a way where there is a willWhen burdensome tasks our moments fill, Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria.

Injured In Auto Accident

P. W. (Bill) Chantland, Los Angeles, Southern California manager for Schafer Bros. Lumber & Shingle Co., was injured in an automobile accident when in the Northwest where he went to attend a sales conference at the company's head office in Aberdeen, Wash. The accident occurred when he and other members of the party were on their way to visit the company's logging operations. He received four fractured ribs and was confined to the hospital in Hoquiam for several days. He has returned to Los Angeles and is now convalescing at his home.

Lower Freight Rates Asked for lron and Steel

San Francisco, Nov. 6.-A move was under way today for lower railroad freight rates on iron and steel articles shipped to the Patific Coast.

Declaring that higher all-rail freight charges have increased the cost of shipping large quantities of steel needed on the Pacific coast defense purposes, the Office of Price Administration at Washington, D. C., and other government agencies have asked railroads to reduce rates to that area.

Prior to the emergency, it was pointed out, steel and iron was largely shipped from Atlantic to Pacific ports by water at relatively low rates. Ships that once handled this business are now mostly in foreign service, so shippers are using all-rail service almost exclusively.

The rates proposed would be graded downward from $1.15 per 100 pounds from the Atlantic seaboard to 75 cents per 10O pounds from Colorado shipping points to all Pacific Coast ports. They would apply to minimum carload weights of 80,000 pounds.

Present rates range from $1.43 per 100 pounds from Atlantic seaboard points to 85 cents per 100 pounds from Colorado with minimum carload weights of 40,000 pounds and 60,000 pounds, depending on the product. It was proposed to the railroads that the suggested rates and the existing rates be used alternatively, depending upon the minimum weight of the shipments per car.

The proposal as submitted, according to OPA, will actually enable the railroads to increase their minimum car-mile revenues on transcontinental iron and steel traffic because of the higher minimum carload weights on which the proposed rates would apply.
