How lrumber Lrooks

Lumber shipments of 465 mills reporting to the Nationel Lumber Trade Barometer exceeded production by 4.8 per cent for the week ended October 30, 1943. fn the same week new orders of these mills were 9.9 per cent greater than production. Unfilled order files in the reporting mills amounted to 99 per cent of stocks. For reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders are equivalent to 39 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks are equivalent to 36 days' prqduction.

For the year to date, shipments of reporting identical mills exceeded production by 7.9 per cent; orders by 9.1 per cent.

Compared to the average corresponding week of 1935-39, production of reporting mills was 13.8 per cent greater; shipments were 21.6 per cent greater; and orders were 39.3 per cent greater.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended October 23, 96 mills reporting, gave orders as 66,710,000 feet, shipments 69,759,M feet, and production 75,985,00O feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 372,326,ffi0 feet.

Chcrnges in Personnel

Lloyd Cole, manager of the Redwood Division for the Hammond Lumber Company at Los Angeles, has been appointed manager of the company's branch yards in Southern California.

Carl Reeder, formerly Redwood salesman with the company at Los Angeles is now in charge of the Redwood Division in Southern California.

Housing

Top priorities are being extended for purchase of critical materials required for war housing projects needed for aircraft workers now scheduled in Dallas, Fort Worth, Los Angeles and San Diego, WPB and NHA announce.

Lessened demand frona the aviation industry, by reason of the Army's cancellation of its huge plywood cargo plane program, has proven a boon to various industries who now find surplus stocks of aircraft plywood available to them without priorities, C. S. Creigh, sales manager of the United States Plywood Corporation, announced November 5.

"These surpluses of aircraft plywood," said Mr. Creigh, "represent for the most part over-runs and cutbacks on war orders. Because of this situation, these supplies are now available without restrictions to vocational and other schools or to manufacturers.

"fndeed, these priority-free plywoods, we find, have already attracted active buying from toy manufacturers, furniture and novelty manufacturers and for general mill-work.

"This is one of those infrequent instances which occur in the industry under war conditions when the plywood warehouses have available for general sale regular items usually restricted to war use. Occasionally, the warehouses have also had for general sale some hardwood plywood such as unselected gum."

Building Mcrtericls cnd Consumers Goods

Several minor changes to simplify pricing methods are made by the OPA (Maximum Price Regulation 188, Amendment 25\, effective Nov. 3.

War Production Board lssues New L-41

Of great importance to every builder in America is the completely re-drafted and amended War Production Board Order L-41 which was issued in Washington on November first and effective that same date. The new language of the amended order is intended to make the restrictions and regulations covering all construction in the country, more easily understandable.

Typical of the language of the revised order is its introduction, explaining its purpose: "This order limits construction. It is necessary in order to conserve materials, construction equipment, la.bor, and transportation. In most cases, where the construction is of special kind, you must get permission from the WPB for the construction." It explains that this permission is not to be confused with preference ratings or priorities,.stating that even though a construction job may be allowed, either because it is not of the kind restricted by the order or because permission has been obtained, "it may still be necessary to get preference ratings for the materials and,fixtures which may be needed." On the other hand you may have ratings for materials, or materials on hand, and still have to get permission to use them for a particular construction job.

The new Order states in the beginning that construction, under this regulation means, "putting up or'altering any sort of structure, including a building, road, bridge, dam, sen'er, and similar jobs; also the installing or equipment or fixtures."

Only the following construction can be done beginning Nov. 1, 1943, without getting a permit, all jobs to be begun in the safie year: (1) $200 for a house, including thc residential property; (2) $1000 for a farm, including the farm house; (3) $1m0 for a hotel, apartment building, or other residence for six or more families, any residence for five or less families being considered a house; (a) $200 for an office, bank, store, laundry, garage, restaurant, or other retail service establishment, or $1000 for a unit containing five or more establishmen,ts of that kind; (5) 91000 for a church, hospital, school, college, publi,c playground for children, or for a building or group of buildings owned by the public or used for public purposes; (6) 91000 for a bridge,

overpass, underpass, tunnel, dock, pier, bus terminal, or for a railroad or street railway building or group of buildings; (D $1m0 for an irrigation or drainage system serving more than one farm; (8) $1@ for a building or group of buildings to be used for warehouse or for off-farm storage purposes; (9) $1000 for all monuments and structures on the same cemetery lot or for all cemetery buildings or structures in the same cemetery; (10) $1000 for a military exchange situated on a reservation of the Army or Navy; (11) $1000 for a building or group of buildings used directly in furnishing certain defined electric, gas, water or heating utility services; (12) $5000 for a factory, plant, or other industrial unit which is used for the manufacture, processing, or assembling of goods with the exception of a certain list given, evidently considered non-essential; (13) $200 for any other type of construction.

Those are the new construction jobs that can now be done without getting a special permit.

In addition to this new construction, Maintenance and Repair work "necessary to keep a building in sound working condition or fix it when it has become unsafe or unfit for service because of .vvear and tear" is permitted, as in the past, without a special permfit. Also buildings damaged by fire, flood, tornado, acts of war, etc., may be repaired without special permission. But if the structure was destroyed by any of these things, it may be rebuilt only up to a cost of $5000 without a permit. There is also allowed without permit: the construction buildings necessary to prevent threatened loss of farm products I Government owned buildings; insulation installation in buildings; plumbing or heating installations in a building up to $200; grading, ditch-digging, or similar earth-moving operations where no lumber, cement, or building materials are used; various kinds of construction connected with the operations of farms, railroads, utilities, mines, petroleum. logging camps, chemical plants, steel qills, and broadcasting facilities; construction jobs started before April 9, 1942, or at a time when the job was not limited by this order; construction jobs which are classed as minor capital additions under the regulations.

LUMBER . PILING PLYWOOD

All other construction is forbidden without WPB special permission.

The amended Order shows how to go about getting construction permits, tells how to figure costs to come under the regulations and states the penalties for violations.

OI special interest are the following changes from the old Order L-41 : The limit on farm construction including residential is placed at $1000. Previously there were separate limits, farm residences not being included in the farm unit. A limit of $200 is placed on any type of construction for which a higher specific limit is not authorized by the Order the over-all limit being formerly $1000. The rule covering the insulation of buildings has been liberalized for fuel conservation. On the other hand the exception covering the conversion of heating equipment from oil to coal has been eliminated. In calculating the cost of a construction job free materials or free labor need no longer be included. Costs limits now refer to the calendar year instead of to any consecutive twelve month period unless the books are kept on a fiscal year basis; installation of plumbing equipment rated on WPB-2631 is permitted up to $200.

This new Order L-41 revokes Orders L-41-a, L-41-b, L41-c, and Interpretation No. 1. The new Order as e whole may be had from your Association office, or seen at the office of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT.

New Housing For S. F. Bcry Arec

National Housing Agency approved October 28 the construction of 1500 privately-financed family units for war workers in the Alameda-Oakland area, and 1000 homes and conversion of several other buildings to provide 500 more family accommodations at lfunters Point, San Francisco. Another 1000 hornes for Navy workers will be built at Mare fsland, Vallejo Calif. and 1000 units for war workers will be built at Richmond Calif. This announcement was made by Eugene Weston, Jr., National Housing Agency representative, in San Francisco, October 28. He said the total cost of the construction will be about $23,000,000.

$353,997 Asked For lap Sub Viaim

Oliver J. Olson and Company of San Francisco filed suit in San Francisco Federal district court October 26 against the United States Government seeking $353,997.26 for its merchant vessel, S. S. Cynthia Olson, sunk by a Japanese submarine 700 miles off San Francisco on the opening day of the war.

A 2,140 ton freighter, the vessel carried a crew of thirtyone and was under charter to the United States Transport Service. She was carrying a cargo of lumber when she left port and was the first American vessel sunk at sea in the war with Japan.

U. S. Ncnry Lumber Inspector Retires

Bert Wilson, IJ. S. Navy chief lumber inspector, with headquarters in San Francisco, will retire November 30 after 35 years of service. He is well known to the lumber trade of Noithern California. He will retire to his ranch at Santa Rosa.

Sone of the stories brought back from the fighting fronts by Amerieans who have been entertaining boldiers, fairly break your heart. Guy Kibbee, a finc old Hollywood character actor, has helpcd entertain our men in several theatres of war, with his wit and humor. He tells about doing his stufr in one hospitat where a certain boy in bed seemed to get a tremendous reaction to the funster's efforts. At every joke told thie boy slapped his right thigh with his right hand, and roared loudly with laughter. When Kibbee looked, he saw that both the boy's left arm and leg were missing. frl*

Lots of things printed of late regarding use of the scriptures in war times. I remember a case where a quotation from scripture was used in war, first to save telegraph service and second to utter a warning. It happened this way. Two generations ago when Cecil Rhodes and Dr. Jameson were exploiting for Britain in South Africa, Rhodes heard Jameson was contemplating what has since been called his ill-fated "raid" into the Transvaal, and he sent "Dr. Jim,, a telegram that read: 'Read Luke fourteen thirty one." So the intrepid Doctor got out his Bible and turned to the 31st verse of the l4th chapter of Luke, and read: "Or what king, going to make a war against another king, sitteth ngt down first and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty Orousand?" That was Rhodes'way of warning Jameson that he was going up against superior strength, and counseling against it. But Jameson made the raid, an5may, the complete failure of which is history. ***

One of our learned Americans in a printed interview the other day counseled against too-severe criticism of appointed public servants. He said that Jesus Christ, who possessed an fnfinite Mind, only appointed twelve men, and of that twelve one of them, Judas, proved a total loss, so how much can you expect of the choices made by finite minds. John Henry Kirby, once famous lumberman, used to utter that philosophy in much more convincing fashion. To prove the same point, f once heard him say: "Only one Man ever lived on this carth who possessed a mind that was Infinitc; and He selected only twelve men for His assistants; yct He sufrered a twenty-five per cent loss in His selections, for of the twelve Thomas doubted Him, Peter rcpudiated Him, and Judas betrayed Him to His death." That went into my scrapbook as one of the finest original stat€ments f had ever heard.

Judging from what we nead, the Amcrican war machinc is not nearly ao enthusiastic today on the subjcct of gliders

for translrcrting fighting men and material as tley \nere a short tine ago. A grcat army of men is at present engaged in buildtng gliders in this countrSr. A tremendous amount of the firest aircraft wood is going into these gliders. Another large amount of the best boxing and crating lumber is being used to crate these gliders for shipment. The rumor is rife that we are going out of the glider business, or at least going to cut down our ambitions along that line. Nothing definite is to be learned on that subject When Germany subdued Crete largely with glider-borne troops, the glider idea came rapidly to the front. Since that time wonderful things have been done with gliders. But these things come and gA and if you can believe ,most of the things you read of late, we are not nearly so hot on gliders as nye were a short time ago. No details as to why.

"Expendable" has developed into one of the most forceful and meaningful words of the present war. It tells a lot of things in a few quick syllables. I think the present meaning of the word came into being with the publication of the booklet, "They Were Expendable," telling in such thrilling fashion the exploits of some of the first American P-T boats in the Philippine fighting, one of them transporting MacArthur to safety on his way to Australia It haa come to mean both men and materials ttrat are put in the line of expendable sacrifice to help win the war. Now we just refer to such things as "expendables- and the meaning is so well known to the public that no further elucidation is called for. Many expendable war things are made from wood. One of the most interesting of these items is expendable gasoline tanks for airplanes. They atso make them of metal, but wood has recently come into use on a very large scale for that purpoee. They make moisturcproof tanks out of some of our hardwoods, notably Birch, that will hold a lot of motor fuel. They are attached to planes that are not built for carrying heavy loads of fuel, but rather for fighting, but which must go long distances to fight. So they hook a couple of these expendable tanks filled with gasoline to the under part of the plane and fly the plane long distances, using the fuel from the expendable tanks first. Then, when this supply is exhausted, they just pull a lever and cut the expendable tanks loose, leaving the plane its own normd tanks filled with fucl to fight and return to base on. Thus planes of light fuel carrying capacity are enabled to go twice their normal fying distancc, with fuel for the return journey. With the extra tanks gone, thc ptanes are of coursc U;lYt maneuverablc.

ABOUT TAXN$. O '

lN CASE yOU'RE INTERESTED . . . (An Editorial)

We no more than get the kinks out of our brains put there by trying to guess on September 15 what thi next four months will develop in the way of income, and along comes a new proposed Federal tax law. And what a law that would be!

rf tl {i

But first, another word about the 1942 tax law. An editorial in the Los Angeles Times says that nobody but Einstein could make out his 1942 rcport and make less than97 mistakes; so the citizen knows he's a criminal right ofi the bat. But the editorial makes a few suggestions that may help. It says:

"The simplest thing to do in figuring your tax is to find yourself a moron (if you don't qualify yourself) then give him a deck of cards, a calculus book, a second-hand mahjongg set, a crystal ball, a set of dominoes, and a bingo gFm€, and tell hirn after playing them all for a while to put down his impressions on a sheet of foolscap paper which previously has been walked on by a hen with muddy feet. He's liable to come closer to the answer than you can, brother." **t

According to newspaper reports a corporation in New York State, for instance, that is in the highest income tax brackets this year and has to pay both the Federal and State taxes, could come out loser on the year. And if that's true about 1942, what will happen to such a concern next year, assuming that Congress lost its mind entirely and made the new Administration income tax proposal into a law?

'The old saying that a certain man "is worth more dead than he i5 3livs"-vrhat's become of that? No doubt it has gone the way of plenty of other once accepted household rnaxims. Under our present inheritance taxes no man is worth more dead than alive, no matter how little he may be worth on this earth. And if the proposed new Federal law should get on the statute books we would reach a situation where it behooved every man of material possessions to see how much of it he could waste and spend this side

of the grave. Once he closed his eyes in death his estate would become about as valuable as a last year's sparrow nest'

A man died the other day. He had labored fifty years for only one purpose; to leave his family well fixed. He was considered rich. He earned big salaries. When he died the salaries stopped. When they settled the million dollar estate the wife and each child hrid about $75,000 each. Invested in Government bonds they have just a fair living. The death of that man changed them from a wealthy family to one of ordinary means. We hear of many cases much more hurtful than that one The old Biblical query"O death ! Where is thy sting?" is finally answered. The sting is in the taxes.

The proposed new income tax rates handed to Congress by Henry Morgenthau, stopping by on his way frorn the White House, are lilies, and no mistake. Henry is, without doubt, a well meaning man. But his new law is one that could only come from a man who was born rich, never worked a day in his life, never had any business or financial troubles, never paid a tax from the sweat of his brow, never did any of the things the average American taxpayer has done in his r,n1t*t; through life.

In this nation whose entire history is built on the toil and struggle of men who had to make good on their own or else, it is too bad that every great tax measure should not be made by men who have been through the mill and the grind, who have toiled and sweated and saved and sacrificed and therefore learned the value of property, and money, and taxes-the hard way. There would be different tax laws. Laws made by men who haven't done things themselves fail to consider fundamentals. Wouldn't it be swell if, before we permitted men to tell the nation what it must do, we could say to them with authority: "Pardon us, brother, but what n*"*t?t*Uone?"

Congress was told that these new rates---on personal in(Continued on Page 14)

f T'S hard to understand, isn't it, how an innocent looking piece of ! Numetal weatherstrip could have anything to do with winning a war? But let us tell you a story.

Foi over 25 years the Macklanburg-Duncan Co. has pioneered in the rolling, forming, stamping and casting of metals. \}(/e have turned out , literally miles of Numetal Weatherstrip like the piece above. That was before Pearl Harbor.

When war came, because of our skill and wealth of experience in manufacruring weatherstrips and other allied items, we were able on short notice to turn a technical handspring into war production. Overnight, the same machines that had produced the world's finest weatherstrip began to roll out huge quantities of vital parts for Uncle Sam's fghting planes. And that production has been and will be maintained until Victory is won.

Now do you see where that piece of Numetal weatherstrip comes in? Bur please remember this-when the noose of men and metal has choked the last dictator, Macklanburg-Duncan will again lead the way in bringing you new aod better products for the post-war world.

....will help YOU win Rew business

This roll forming machine is one of many in our plana that ls tuning out strucural shapes for airolanc . . in a mutriiliciry of widrhs, gauges and tempers of metal. It is working for Victory now... but after the war ir will work for YOU !

Every day in the papers and magazines old storics from World War One turn up with a modern dressing. But there is one ttrat was mighty popular in f917 and 1918 ttrat haen't been dug up so far in ttris war, that bears retelling.

A big husky Sergeant was drilling an ackward squad made up of a bunch of double-tough rookies from the Bowery. Every time this Sergeant gave an order, it was like this:

"Present arms! So are you! Shoulder arms! So are yout Lcft face! So are youl Right facet So arc yout"

Lumber Auction Held in San Frtrncisco

A little over seven million feet of 'Western Pine lumber was purchased at a lumber auction held in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, October 29.

Leo Hennessy of the West Coast Lumber Office of the Central Procurement Agency, Portland, was in charge. He was assisted by Maurice Isted.

And so on. Every order he gave was followed by "So are you.tt

Another Sergeant said to him: "Look here, fricnd. What in the Hell kind of orders are those you arc grving? Where do you get that'So are you' stuff? That's not regulationE.tt

Thc other one said: "Listen, soldier. This buncb of tough punks I'm drilling don't fool me none. I know that every time f give them an ordcr, every man of then says undcr his breath-'All right, you dirty big so-and-so'-ord I just say'So are you' and beat them to it."

Controlled Mcrtericrls

Beginning with first quarter of 1944, all allotments qf controlled materials for construction and facilities, save to certain specified military, naval and other programs, WPB says, will be made from a central materials reserve to be established for this purpose by the requirements committee.

The besr of these have led to perm.nent changes that will be e part of tomorrow's door. Ve sincerely believe that tihe day is not far away when these improved doors will be availeblc to yotr.

THE PRIME WAR I il DUS TRY

We take pleasure in repeating here the tribute recently paid to the lumber industry by Col. F. G. Sherrill of the United States Army Engineers, when in presenting an Army ttEtt award he said in part:

"You are producing the material of oictory, complete and ooerwhelming. Your industry is the prime qoar industry in the arscnal of democraclt."

About Taxes

(Continued from Page 10) come for example-are necessary to fight inflation' Yet the proposed bill puts the greater emphasis on incomes from hvJthousand a year, up. Everyone knows that the huge increase in earning capacity in this emergency is with people who earn UNDER that figure. It is there that peolle-"t" getting from two to five times as much as they ire in the habit of earning. It is that group of many, many millions that is making the war money fly. If inflation comes from civilian purchases, it comes largely from that group. But the proposed new law would lighten the burden on the grouP where the germ of inflation is found most frequently. They even Propose to abolish the Victory tax which hit that lower income grouP hardest. Instead of being a tool to fight inflation the proposed law would, according to most students of its provisions, encourageinflation.

The other day the head of the Social Security Board came before Congress to urge that Congress do not again suspend the impending increase of 100 per cent in the old age pension rate of take from employer and employe both' He ofiered but one reason for this request; namely, that now while they have it is a good time to get it. Anyone who can read knows how this money is handled. There is no secret about it. A tax for the purpose of old age protection of our citizens, it goes into the Social Security :strong box by the hundreds of millions of dollars. It ,doesn't even get a chance to bounce off the bottom before it is taken out by the Treasury, an I.O.U. left in its place,

and that money raised for a specific purpose, is used for everything under the sun. What the employes and employers of this country would get in return for doubling the rate, no one knows. All that would happen would be twice as much cash being lifted from the Social Security strong box, and twice as many I.O.U.'s placed there instead. What Congress will do remains to be seen.

In addition to raising inJ trl""*e tax rate, Mr. Morgenthau ofiered a tremendously enlarged Social Security program, at enormously increased rates. Under its terms the Federal Government would do for every citizen most of the things that have up to now been considered the everyday jobs of citizenship. Our people would be "bottlefed and rocked to sleep and ordered around in everything they do," as one Democratic Congressman has already said about the proposal.

Henry Ford had to go back and take charge of the billion dollar empire that he built u/ith his own genius-and be took up that tremendous job without any sign of fear or faltering-I was reminded of what Mr. Ford told a magazinc writer thirty years ago when he was in his prime and at the height of his career. The writer was trying to find out what Henry thought was the secret of his success, and Henry told him: "There are only two things in the world that are really important-WORK and F'AITH." What a splendid declaration t It was work and faith and courage that b-ilt the America we love. And it's going to take plenty of all three to guarantee its future.

I read with intense interest recent stories suggesting that after ttre war is over Henry Ford is taking his great organization back over a highway that it foresook some fifteen years ago when Edsel, with modernistic ideas, began the building of continually more attractive looking, more ornate, larger, and more expensive cars. When Edsel took over the reins his father had put the whole world on wheels with his T Model, and then with Model A. Edsel, a progressive, went in for bigger and better looking cars. Soon low priced cars became a thing of the past. The several cars in the "Iower priced field" were tfiemselves large, attractive,_ luxury cars. Now, say students of the Ford situation, Edsel is gone, Henry is back in harness, and he is going to show the world some of the early day Ford methods whcn he quits making war machines. He is going once again to make a small, low-priced, low-cost, less adorned car, within the reach of almost every man or woman. Henry used to say in the T Model days-"Give them any color car Orcy want, just so long as it's black " Those days are coming back, they say.

Pcrsonally, I believ6 the sto-ry. And, likewise personally, I'm glad of i3. I have felt for years as though the motof car manufacturers got so all-fired interested in their rush for bigger, better, ntore luxurious, more colorful cars, they forgot entirely+very one of them-the fundamental theory on which Ford built his business; built the entire autqmobile industry, for that matter. That theory was to furnish dependable and satisfactory transportation for the poor as well as the rich, forgetting the luxury and the speed idca. Any one of the mass production auto manufachrrers could have gone back to the good cheap car field and done a world of good while cleaning up. But they were all busy working toward thousand dollar cars, instead of at least one of them working toward the two hundred dollar car. Ttrat's what Henry is going to do now, they say. And I hope so. There will always be plenty of manufacturers to rnake big cars for the rich, fast.cars for the yourg, and fancy cars for the fancy-minded. But good, dependable transportation without ostentation such as Henry F'ord is capable

of producing in swarms like the locusts of the Bible days, would do much to help smooth thc transition road tlnt must lead ttris nation from top war production to civilian lrostwar production. Personally, I'm for Henry. Even at his adnanced age, he can be one of the strongest units in Oris nation in the economic struggle that must develop when the war ends. Wish he were even twenty yearg younger. What deeds he could perform. We have had no one else like him. None likc him will come after. Bureaucrats will never successfully bridge the grcat gap that must bc crossed between war and peace when the war ends. Men who have done things before and can do them again must lead the way{r God help us.

Trees and religion. The history of Buddhism, as an e:ample, places great emphasis on trees. We are told that Gautama Buddha, founder of that religion that once swept most of the known world, sat a week each under four great trees while he thought out the science of living that became what is called Buddhism. The first week he sat and thought under the great Bo tree. The second week he sought thc 'protection of the Banyan tree. The third week the Muchalinda trce furnished him shade. The fourth and last week he sat under the Rajayatana tree. Then he announced that his studies were completed, and that he had discovered the eight-fold road to salvation, composed of eight rights, namety: right belief, right aspiration, right speech, right conduct, right occupation; right endeavor, right memory, and right meditation. fn fact, he laid down his whole philosophy of life that was welcomed by countless millions of people, after four weeks of thought and contemplation under those four great fndian trees.

f'|

fire' Iadies should acqaint themselves with Gautama Buddha. Why? Because he was the first woman sufiragrst No foolin' The idea that women first won-equal rights with men in the past few decades is for those who scorn ancient history. For Buddha more than five hundred years beforc Christ, admitted women disciples into his free democracy of spirit on equal terms with the men. 'We are told that he did so only after having three times refused to admit then. Like Caesar and the croryn, that last ofrer was too much for him. But, dthough he recog4ized women'6 sufrrage in his great and growing organization, he took an awful slap at the ladies while doing so. lFor he uttered the prediction that their presence in his Order would reduce ..the life of thc Ord6r by half, for, he wrote: "As when mildew falls on a field the ricc is doomed, so when women leave the household life and join an Order, that Ordcr shall not long endure." Wonder what old Gautama would thhk if he could look the country ovcr today, and witness our modern distribution of woriren,'and their various activitiee?

I hate to frighten my old friend, Charlie Williams, of thc Moore Dry Kiln Company, but I must mention a remark made in dead seriousness the other day by an engineer who has been doing a lot of experimenting with wood and electricig. As is well known, some remarkable results have recently been achieved in the laboratory by treating laminated wood and glue with electricity instead of with heat and pressure. Great things are now expected from further research into the relationship between wood and electricity. Well" what this engineer said was this: that it will be only a matter of time and thoughtful experimentation until chemista and engineers will discover practical methods of drying wood commercially almost instantly, with electricity. He says they will just bring in green logs, put an electrode to the end of each log, turn on the juice, and, Presto! The entire log will be free from moisture. He said they have gone far enough along with what they are now doing to fecl very sure that this can be done, and in most practical fashion. Interesting, eh? I'll bet Charlie Williams will hold the patent on the process, if it finally works out.

I don't enjoy making "busts," but I make plenty of ttem, and whcn aomc fricnd catches me at it, I get'a ccrtain amount of kick out of it. Fricnds continually ask mobecause of tbe bodge-podge of subjects I writc about"what do you read?" Sometimes I read the wrong thinge. Tte above Btatcments may not seem related, but they are. In this column on August 15, I was typing some thoughts on the subject of Liberty. Before me was tlre text of a very eloquent spcech on that subject. The speaker quotcd Madame de Stael, famous French writer and politician of the revolutionary period, as saying "on the scaffold:" "Ah Libertyl What crimes are committed in thy name!" So I quoted both the quotation and the accompanying statement. G. B. Mcleod, of San Francisco, an old friend of mine, with ttre Hammond Lumber Company, read it and caught it on the first bounce, and threw me out at first base. Madame de Stael did make that remark. But it couldn't have been on the scaffold, for she died a natural death in 1817. Ah, welll Anyway, I penalizgd myself by taking an entire evening reading in part the history of that famous French woman. But I'll never send her to the scafrold again. I promise. Ho1rc none of her kinfolks sue me. I'd just have to admit, with Mark Twain, that my report of the Madame's execution was grossly exaggerated.

When Xenres Fell in Love With a Tree

Plutarch tells a remarkable story about a famous soldier's infatuation for a tree. He says that the great Xerxes haltcd his army of seventeen hundred thousand soldiers to admire a Plane tree. Hc was so in love with the loveliness of the tree that we are told by Plutarch that he "doted on it." More than that, he took ofr his richest garments and put them on the tree, and in addition he took from his concubines and from his mightiest generals their jewels and bracelets, thcir rich scarfs and their gold, and with them bedecked this tree. He seemed to lose all interest in the battle he was then preparing for, in fact he lost the battle because of the delay occasioned by his worhip of the tree. And when he was forced to leave he caused a picture of the tree to be stamped on a medal of gold wtrich he ever after wore.tt

The Old House

I tell you I smelled lilacs there tonightTheir dear, damp fragrance sweet against the snow, Where the old lilac bush stood in the moonlight, Beside the path where lovers used to go. But that's a tall apartment there? I know it. But none the less I smelled the lilacs plain, And saw a girl too young to be a poet, Pressing her face to lilacs in the rain; A young girl weeping in a vanished rain.

OId Agre Ripens

Theodore Parker \f,rote: "The man reaps in his old age as he sowed in his youth and manhood. He ripens what he grew. Private selfishness is less now than ever before. He loves the eternal justice of God, the great higher Law. Once his hot blood tempted him, and he broke, perhaps, that law; now he thinks thereof with grief at the wrong he made others suffer, though he clasps his hands and thanks God for the lesson he has learned even from hic sin.

"He needs now the great attraction whereby all things gravitate toward God. He knows there is swift justice for nations and for men, and he says to the youth: lRejoice, O young men, iir thy youth. Let thy heart cheer thee. But know thou that for these things God will bring thee into account. Hear the sum of the whole matter, tove God and keep His commandments, for this is thc whole duty of man.tt

San Francisco Hardwood Yard Rebuilt

The plant of the Forsyth Hardwood Company at 355 Bay Shore Boulevard, San Francisco, which was almost completely destroyed by fire four months ago, has been rebuilt and is now practically re-stocked:

A large new shed, modern in every respect and lighted with six skylights, has been built. All stock will be stored under cover.

All gangways are paved and are 22 f.eet wide. The yard has a frontage of 200 feet on Bay Shore Boulevard and extends 3O0 feet to a spur track at the rear, which accommo-

dates six cars at a time.

A new plywood warehouse has been built at the rear of the yard.

Forsyth Hardwood Company was established in 1918. The yard was completely burned out and rebuilt in 1933. This concern has always carried the finest type of hardwoods they -could buy and P. R. Kahn, manager, states they will continue that policy. Mr. Kahn pays frequent visits to the hardwood producing areas in the South and Southeast.

C. J. tffilliams Says DrV Kilns Doing \(/ondrous Work in Aircraft

We had a visit the other day with Chas. J. Williams, president of the Moore Dry Kiln Company. Mr. Williams spent the summer in Portland, Oregon, as is his custom, and is now back in Jacksonville, Florida, where he will spend the winter. Jacksonville is his home, and also the headquarters of his company. The Moore Dry Kiln Company is a modern colossus in its chosen line, dominating the lumber kiln drying business like foe Louis does heavyweight pugilist circles. Its field is the entire world of lumber production, and its success is based on its program of continual improvement and advancement in the practical yet scientific business of seasoning lumber.

Mr. Williams had many interesting things to tell about what dry kilns are doing in the war efrort, so we jotted some of them down, thinking they would interest our lumber readers, and here they are, just a lot of hit and miss items that deserve more than passing attention.

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the Sitka Spruce Company is operating 12 Moore Cross Circulation kilns, each 112 feet long. These kilns operate 24 hours every day, seven days.in every week, kiln drying Spruce for aircraft manufacture.

In Portland, Oregon, Lumber Manufacturers, Inc., are

engaged in manufacturing aircraft lumber exclusively, and are doing a wonderful job of kiln drying Spruce for that purpose. They find that they can perfectly seasqn loads"of aircraft Spruce 40 feet in length, 4 inches thick, and 8 to 12 inches wide, and bring it up to Government Aerona$ical Specifications, showing what wonders have -been done in the art of kiln drying. This concern uses 5 Moore Cross Circulation kilns for this purpose.

Every mill in'Oregon and Washington that can get the' quality of logs to produce aircraft lumber, either in Spruce, Douglas Fir, Noble Fir, or Western Hemloch are giving their very best attention to this field, and producing a maximum amount of stock.

One of the interesting recent installations of recent months made by the Moore Dry Kiln Company was a battery of four kilns shipped to manufacturers of Balsa wood in Ecuador, South America. Practically all of this wood is being brought to the United States and Canada to be used in fighting planes, and particularly in the light-weight Mosquito bombers we have read so much about. Balsa has become one of the desired and premium woods of the present war, and the aircraft makers of North America could use a great deal more than the maximum amount now be-

ing produced. It comes only from South America. Mr. Williams says that Balsa wood is in such gleat demand by plane manufacturers in North America and England that at times it is shipped by airplane. He states that in building the fast Mosquito bombers they build the fuselage of wood made as a sort of a sandwich, several layers of hardwood veneers or "skins" as they call them on planes, covering a center of Balsa wood. The Balsa acts as a spacer to the hardwood "skins," and the combination has been found unusually strong and practical.

Mr. Williams says that there are now many Moore dry kilns in the South that are being used seasoning veneer made of Southern Sweet Gum for aircraft wood. They have installed veneer kilns for the Pacific Veneer Company, New Westminster, B. C., where aircraft veneers are being made for Spruce, Fir, Birch, and Mahogany veneers. They told Mr. Williams in Canada that the manufacturers of airplanes in England use a greater percentage of wood in their construction than we do in the United States or Canada.

C'oing back to the subject of Balsa wood, Mr. Williams says it is used in this country not only for aircraft, but the Navy, Coast Guard, Maritime Commission, and Army transports use it in many ways for floats and life-saving equipment.

Increace in Rcd Cedr Shinglc Ceiling Priccr

To cover increased production costs, the Office of Price Administration announced an increase of approximately 8 per cent in ceiling prices for all grades and sizes of red cedar shingles,

At the same time, however, OPA revoked an increase of l0 per cent over the old ceilings which sellers had been permitted to charge since last September 9 on sales of 100 squares of shingles or less to any buyer who does not purchase for resale. Revoked also, was permission granted sellers last September 77 to make sales on an adjustable pricing basis pending issuance of today's price increases.

The 8 per cent increase is authorized in Amendment No. 6 to Maximum Price Regulation No. tr64 (Red Cedar Shingles), effective November l, 1943.

Lumbermcn'g Accident Prcvention Acroqiation Revived

San Francisco, Calif., November 3, 1943.-To strengthen the ties of a common interest in accident prevention throughout the woods, mills and retiil yards of California's vast lumber industry, representatives of leading operating lumber companies of the state met at San Francisco recently to revive the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association.

Functioning ln the form of a voluntary group for the past 25 years, the Association has served with outstanding success as an effective link between the state's lumber industry and the California State Industrial Accident Commission. The Association had been less active since 1939, when its members joined the lumber branch of the Western Safety Council. The feeling has developed that considera. tion of peculiarly California matters, and maintenance of closer contact with the California Commission, justified a renewal of Association activity to supplement the broader work of the Western Safety Council.

Getting off to a flying start with 48 active members, representing a broad cross*ection of the state's lumber industry, including manufacturers from the Pine and Redwood regions and dealers, the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association has for its first officers: E. S. Mackins, Jr., safety director, Hammond Lumber Company, Samoa, chairman, and Nat Edwards, Wood Products Company, Ray Building Oakland, secretary-treasurer.

Organization and first business meetings were held in the State Building at San Francisco. W. G. Collins, Hammond Lumber Company, Samoa, was chairman, and G. A.

From fire trucks roaring by.

There are innocent forest creatures

Fleeing in pain and dread

As black clouds billow upward

And darken the skv overhead.

The demon of fire sweeps onward, While brave and intrepid men

Recoil from her unleashed fury

Then turn to fight on again. She flaunts them u'ith crackling laughter, As they shrink from her acrid breath, Her, ways are the ways of destruction

And her paths are the paths of death.

fn a sudden access of fury, She hurls her brands through the air; They fall in a wooden canyon

And spot fires are kindled there. She leaps to a stand of timber

And, "she crowns !" Is the frenzied cry, "Run ! Run for your lives, men !

To linger now is to die !"

Grim days and nights of horror, Then she dies as fire fiends die; Licking the ghastly wreckage

That was left when she thundered by. And the blackened hills and canyons

And stark, dead forests tell, Of the wealth of life and beauty

That died in the fire fiend's hell.

Was the fire fiend unleashed in her fury

And her course of destruction set, When a spark fell into the dry, brown grass

From YOUR lighted cigarette?

Built for perman€nce, these hangars are &amatic examples of the almost limitless adaptability of lumber to heavy construction. Modern timber cngineering has revolutionized old-time millconsmrction into to&y's streamlined designs. lfith

this, and the added safety factor of flameproofing, wood has won recognition as a first line stnrcnrtal material.

Its fitness thus established under the stimulus of building for war, wood promises to conribute in even greatet degree to the new esa of commercial and indusaial building that will follow the renrn of peace.
