How Lumber Looks

Western building activity in October, 1939, as measured by permits lrom 92 cities in eleven western states, Honolulu, and British Columbia, recorded a gain over the previous month, but was slightly lower than that of October, 1938, according to the Western Monthly Building Survey prepared by H. R. Baker & Co., of San Francisco. Total permit valne for the 92 reporting cities was $23,494,M8, 8.26 per cent higher than September's $15,351,099, but 6.35 per cent smaller than the $25,087,69 showing for October 1938.

"The turkey was almost a nervous wreck, A sad and disconsolate creature, Thanksgiving was always a pain in the neck, And now it's a double feature."-Geo. E Phair.

{<rF*

The double Thanksgiving this year has been the butt of more jokes, naturally, than any other thing that has happened in a long time. For the past month every radio program has centered on it. Some of the gags have been awfully funy. Someone said to Jack Benny: ,,I'll bet you don't even know when Thanksgiving is," and Benny replied, "who does?" Charlie McCarthy said to someone else on his program, "When will we be out of here?" The fellow answered "about Thanksgiving." Charlie said ,,be more specific." And the Governor of Oklahoma, in setting the Thanksgiving date in that state for November 30 said: "Thirty days hath Septembei, April, June, and November, all the rest have thirty-one, until we hear from Washington." And so they went on and on. They called Nov. 30th "Thanksgiving," and Nov. 23rd Franksgiving.

rf rf :F

Speaking of good gags, to me the best of the whole year is that of the comedian W. C. Fields (I love his stuff, anyway) when he said: "Never smarten up a chump." He is the man who made, "Never give a sucker an even break" a national byword.

And then, of course, a;ri *:" the woman who, when asked if there was any insanity in her family replied that her husband thought he was boss of the house.

The other day nearly a million voters in California went to the polls and cast their votes in favor of a proposal that, had it carried, would have destroyed the State just as certainly and completely as though the Pacific Ocean had swept in and engulfed it. The measure lost, it is true. But the very fact that so many citizens voted for such a thing is something to give a guy goose pimples and start shivers running up and down his spine.

Here is a remark once made by Thomas Jefferson that you won't hear quoted by any of the speakers in Congress: "ff the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can

it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour."

There is one virtue which no man or woman in business should neglect to cultivate. It is GRACIOUSNDSS. A service rendered with graciousness is magnified until it seems-as indeed it is-a far greater service. Graciousness is not toadyism. ft isn't fawning on superiors and condescending to inferiors. True graciousness is NOT an assumed thing, put on and off like a garment. It is courtesy, kindliness, helpfulness, and understanding.

Dr. H. H. Bennett, Chief of the Soil Conservation Service, conducted an experiment in North Carolina that effectively demonstrated the protection a forest gives to the soil, and the soil damage done by forest fires. Two practically identical woodland plots were selected, one of which was burned off every year, while the other was not. Over a six year period the burned plot has shed 100 times as much water as the unburned, and the soil losses have been 800 times as great.

Recent figures indicate that 27 million American families have radios in their homes, and at least three,fourths of them listeri to radio programs every day. Radio experts say that the average family uses its radio more than five hours daily. People spend more time listening to radios now than at any other occupation except sleeping and working, and the radio totals threaten the work totals.

The Shining Pathway

Ignacio Manuel Altamirano, a pure Azetc Indian, was born of impoverished parents in the town of Tixtla, state of Guerrero. His habits of industry and study raised him to positions of trust and political power and brought him fame as journalist, teacher, and man of letters.

I sarv his portrait in a humble dwelling And found his words upon a faded page, And I am one with those who knew and loved him And traced the path he trod from youth to age.

Fancy portrays the little Indian village In which his boyhood days were spent In sordid tasks which could not daunt his courage Nor hush the murmurs of his discontent.

As to the silent, brooding desert Comes the mirage r,vith luring, mystic smile, So to his hungry heart came gleaming visions Toil burdened days and hours to beguile.

Ambition whispered in the dark night watches, He raised his dark eyes to a star, Knowing that race and place can hi-nder-never, Nor poverty an upward journey bar.

And so to him came honor, fame and power. To him, a ragged Indian boy, Who by his faith and courage won the guerdon Of useful service, manly pride and joy.

And achievements told in song and story, Adorn the simple annals of his race, Giving new strength to hearts bowed down and weary, Lightinglvith hope full many an upturned face.

And in the company of earth's immortals Whose fame time cannot dim nor years destroy, "We find these words beside a shining pathway, "Altamirano, Azetc Indian boy."

VI ou know from your own experience that home buyers "shop" on the streets. Every enduring stucco jobthat keeps its good looks is a silent salesman for you. And the more such jobs there are, the higher stucco volume will climb. Make every house you build a "demonstrator" for the beauty and weatherproof durability of stucco. Here are more of the rules for doing the job absolutely right:

See that the structure is rigid and well'framed insist on a good base . . protect horizontal surfaces with pro' jecting trim . . . place non-corrosive flashing at all points of possible moisture entrance . position reinforcement so that it will be completely embedded in the mortar . . use only stucco made with portland, cenetrt or water-proot'ed portla,nd cenent lor all coats-mixed, applied and cured according to approved methods.

A friend of mine died the other day. He is one of those imperishable men who, through the years, has wound the tentacles of his fellowship and fineness around my heart. He enjoyed life immensely. He helped many others to do likewise. While yet in love with life and raptured with the world and those he loved, he passed suddenly to silence and pathetic, unreplying dust. Yet, while my heart bled at his going, I rejoiced at the manner of it. No lingering illness ! No pathetic wreck ! Wise was the poet who wrote: "Let me go quickly, like a candlelight, snuffed out just at the heyday of its glow; give me high noon, and let it then be night-thus would I go."

at his bedside sought to arouse in him regret for the sins of his past life. But the dying man said: "I cannot speak badly of my past life; I enjoyed it immensely." I love that spirit. Die as you live. Deathbed repentances can hardly interest an Intelligent Deity. As the colored brother said: "De Lawd don't pay no tenshun to scared prayers." But Dreier's story reminds me of the one about the confirmed pessimist who lay dying, his family gathered around his bedside. All his remarks as he approached the end of life, were criticisms of life as he had found it. lle hadn't enjoyed it much; hardly thought it had been worth while. One of his people, seeking to console him, said: "Don't worry about those things any more. Soon you'll be in your long, long rest, and you can quit worrying." And the dying man said: "If I could depend on that, I would die h"ppy; but it would be just my luck to have Gabriel blow that dad-blamed trumpet just about the time I settle down to rest."

Over the grave of Thomas Jefferson is the remarkable epitaph that some say he wrote himself. It is remarkable in that it speaks naught of the great honors that were bestowed upon him by a grateful nation; only of those great things that he GAVE the world. That epitaph is a gospel of service. It reads: "Ilere was buried Thomas Jefferson, Author of the American Declaration of Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia."

Mr. and Mrg. L. B. Laughlin Celebrate 65th Wedd:ng Anniversary

Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Laughlin, parents of C. J. Laughlin of Los Angeles, manag'er of the Wholesale Lumber Association of Southern California, celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on November 5. They reside in Minneapolis, Minn., with their daughter, Mrs. C. L. Jones.

Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin lived in Chamberlain, South Dakota, for many years and in a recent issue of the newspaper there the Chamberlain Branch of the Northwest Security National' Bank saluted them with the follorving tribute :

"Two in two th,ousand-Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Laughlin, married sixty-five years ago November fifth.

"Last spring in thinking over ideas for this colttmn we hit on one which we knew everybody 'r'r'ould approve-the fact that right here in Chamberlain rve had two folks who would celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary this fall.

"We thought it would be interesting to knor.v horv many married couples do that. So rve wrote to insurance- companies, to the census and other places. Some said one in a thousand, some more, some less. Anyway, anybody who knows the Laughlins would say they are one in a million.

"The fact that they moved to Minneapolis a month or so ago does not lessen Chamberlain's right to claim them. They lived here well over half their married life. And while we jokingly say the first 100 years are the hardest, we know in all seriousness that it 'takes a heap of living to make a house a home' f'or 65 years."

Charles K. Field also saluted them from New York City on Sunday evening, November 12, during his "Cheerio" radio program on a coast-to-coast broadcast over the National broadcasting system.

Besides C. J. Laughlin and Mrs. C. L. Jones, they have three more children, R. A. Laughlin of Omaha, Neb., Mrs. C. W. Raw of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. W. S. Burroughs of Tacoma, Wash.

(Andy) Donovan

This is a thumbnail career sketch of A. W. (Andy) Donovan, of Los Angeles, who has been selling and talking Redwood for many years.

Andy, as he is best known to his friends, is Southern California manager of Hobbs, Wall Lumber Cornpany, Redwood manufacturers.

He was born in San Francisco, and after graduating from High School, he started to learn about Redwood, going to work f'or C. A. Hooper & Company in lX)4 at their Hardy Creek mill in Mendocino Countv, Calif. During 1907-1908, he was with the Spring Valley Lumber Company, San Francisco, as salesman and collector. He drove a horse and buggy .in those days and the boys nicknamed him "The Scout."

Then he entered Colorado College, class of L9I2, at Colorado Springs, Colo., where he studied Forestry and received the degree of Forest Engineer. He had rvide experience rvith the United States Forest Service in Colorado ancl Wyoming from 1909-1912 in connection with his engineering studies.

He returned to San Francisco and went to cruising timber. When the war came on he joined the @lst Engineers and was in the army nearly two years, spending over a year in France. He started as a Second Lieutenant, was promoted to First Lieutenant, and then Captain.

When he got back from France, he went with the Union Lumber Company and was with them for seven years, working on Redwood sales in their Los Angeles office. He resigned his position in 1926 to become Southern California representative of Hobbs, Wall Lumber Company and was with them runtil 1932.

For the next three and a half years, he had an important position as construction engineer and superintendent with the Bureau of Engineering, City of Los Angeles, directly

under Lloyd Aldrich, city engineer, which duties he performed very satisfactorily.

He resumed his lumber activities on June I, 1937, as manager of Hobbs, Wall Lumber Company's Los Angeles office.

Andy is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and Hollywood Post, No. 43, of the American Legion. He likes sports but his real hobby is his job-selling and talking Redwood.

He married Miss Margaret Sells of'Colorado Springs, November 24, 1915, and they reside in Hollywood.

In Southern California where he has worked many years with the lumber trade you hear nothing but good things about Andy Donovan.

and Forest Service Engineer Wins Firgt Prize Repair of Refrigcrator Cars In Bridge Derign Contest

Program for Rebuildins

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-The Pacific Fruit Express Co. announced today a $10,000,000 program for the rebuilding and repair of refrigerator'cars during the first six months of 194O.

"Rebuilding" a refrigerator car, it was explained, means replacement of the box part of the,car with an entirely new superstructure, the only parts of the original car going into the rebuilt unit being the underframes and trucks.

The budget for 1939 provided for rebuilding of 2300 cars and 500 are yet to be completed before the end of the year.

By July 1940, an additional 2500 cars will be rebuilt in readiness for seasonal peak handling of western perishable cfops.

The rebuilding program f.or l94O will be divided between Los Angeles, Roseville, Colton and Nampa, fdaho, officials said.

BURT BELESS WITH OWENS.PARKS LUMBER CO.

Burt Beless is now with Owens-Parks Lumber Company, Los Angeles, as lumber purchasing agent for Douglas Fir and Redwood. He was formerly with the Lumber & ,A.llied Products Institute, and prior to that was associated with the lumber business in Los Angeles for man;r vears. He is well known in Southern California lumber circles.

Washington, November l5.-William D. Smith, of Portland, Oregon, civil engineer with the U. S. Forest Service, was named today as the winner of the $500 first ptize in a timber bridge design contest sponsored by the American Forest Products Industries, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, a,nd Timber Engineering Company. The announcement was made by Harry G. Uhl, contest secretary, at the annual meeting of the N.L.M.A. in San F'rancisco.

The winning entry was a 7Gft. Pony truss briclge, designed for an H-10 loading, with an l&ft. roadway, and, in the opinion of the judges, best demonstrated the inherent advantages of the use of timber as a structural material.

The design had among its outstanding features an unusual treatment of the bottom chord splice. The splice u'as effected by the use of a single splice plate between the spaced members, each member being spliced individually at different points along the splice plate. This eliminated the necessity of outside plates adding to the appearance and economy of the design.

The top chord of the bridge was made to approach a parabolic arc, thereby reducing to a minimum the stresses in the web members due to dead and uniform live load.

A thorotrgh knowledge of the material to be used was demonstrated by Mr. Smith in his use of a saw kerf in the verticals, lessening the posibility of difficulty in erection of splitting due to shrinkage. He also specified the nse of driven plates betrveen butting members to assure good bearing.

The contest, offering $1500 in cash prizes, was open to architects, engi,neers and students of these schools in the United States and Canada. The first student prize of $200 was won by Daniel Burnett of Vancouver, B. C., who submitted a three-hinged arch bridge of. 70-ft. span designed for an H-15 loading and having an 18-ft. clear roadway.

The judges of the contest were: .R. G. Kimbell, Director of Technical Service; F. J. Hanrahan, Structural Engineer; L. M. Stevens, Architect, all of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association; J. E. Myer, Chief Research Engiqeer of the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., and J. H. Carr, Jr., Structural Engineer for the Timber Engineering Company.

GLADSTONE'S ADVICE TO STUDENTS

Be assured that every one of you has his place and vocation on this earth, and that it rests with himself to find it. Do not believe those who too lightly say, "Nothing succeeds like success." Effort, gentlemen, honest, manful, humble effort, succeeds by its reflected action, especially in youth, better than success, which indeed, too easily and too early gained not seldom serves' like winning the first throw of the dice, to blind and stupefy. Get knowledgeall you can; and the more you get the more you breathe upon its nearer heights their invigorating air and enjoy the widening views, the more you will know and feel how small is the elevation you have reached in comparison with those immeasurable dtitudes that yet remain unscaled. Be thorough in all you do and remember that though ignorance often may be innocent, pretension is always despicable.

Lumber Consumption to Top Twenty-Six Billion Feet for 1939

Washington, November 17 _Torut lumber consumption in 1939 will be more than 26 billion feet or about 18 per cent above last year's consumption, according to the 34th quarterly report of the Lumber Survey Committee to the Department of Commerce, released today. This compares with a consumption ol 22.5 billion feet in 1938.

According to the Committee, the outbreak of War and its psychological effect created a spectacular spurt in mid-September causing lumber consumption in the third quarter to exceed former estimates. Lumber production, however, maintained an active and comparatively even pace during the last three months, and will probably exceed 25.5 billion feet-l8 per cent above the 1938 figure.

Lumber exports in July and August were the highest since 1937, due to anticipated early'curtailment of shipping facilities. September showed some decline but it u'ill be necessary to await October and perhaps November trade

being installed to effectively and economically heat four-and five-room apartments.

Superior Fireplace Heat Circulators are rapidly being accepted by thousands of new and old home owners throughout the United States as an efficient means of using fireplaces for heating small homes or as auxiliary heating facility to reduce fuel expense of larger heating equipment.

The Superior Fireplace Heat Circulator is a complete metal form consisting of firebox, smoke-dome and damper around which any design fireplace may be built. It draws cool air from the floor into the air chambers through the intakes at floor level. There the air is heated and passes out through front outlet grill and is circulated evenly to the far corners of the room and into adjoining rooms.

figures before reaching definite conclusions as to the effect of the War upon September exports. Major lumber exports are in temporary stalemate due to shipping and procurement uncertainties.

"Railroad purchases of equipment and materials, inclu<ling lumber and timber products, have increased abruptly", says the report. "Orders at the lumber mills for items for new equipment, maintenance of way improvement, and especially for repairs, have shown marked increase. This reflects a general policy of the railroads.

"Residential building in the third quarter continued to show gains over a similar period of 1938", the report continued. September was the largest month in residential floor space contracts since 1929. Home building is likely to continue at the present relatively high rate, except for seasonal changes in some regions. If home building declines, the cause will probably be a prospect of rapidly increasing building costs rather than any War situation now discernible."

The Committee found that current stocks were broken and that mills have refused new business in considerable volume. It warns that ill-assortment of stocks threatens to become a chronic condition in some regions and recommends that the industry further explore the causes and the possible remedies of long-continued unbalanced and illa.ssorted lumber inventories.

The Lumber Survey Committee consists of Thomas S. Holden, Vice-President, F. W. Dodge Corporation, New York City; M. W. Stark, Economist, Columbus, Ohio; Calvin Fentress, Chairman, Baker Fentress & Co., Chicago, Illinois; and Wilson Compton, Secretary and l\{anager, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.

Nutter Lumber Company in N"*, Modern Plant

The Nutter Lumber Company is norv occupying its ncrv and modern'office, warehouse and yard at 198 N. Gorclon Street, Pomona, Calif. The plant features many new developments in lumber yard construction.

The building,92x264 feet, houses the office, '"r'arehouse and lumber shed, and gives the company 15,000 more square feet than at its former location. The exterior of the office portion and the front of the building is finished in Redrvood Anzac siding, and the other exterior surfaces are covered with galvanized Tyl-lyke metal. The office is in the northwest section, the merchandise warehouse is in the southwest part, and in the rear is the lumber shed where stocks are kept under cover. A drivervay, 36 feet and 11 inches in rvidth and wide enough for three trucks, extends through the center of the building. This drivervay has an oil-gravel surface and is kept clear for service to custorners.

The interior of the office is especially attractive. The rvalls are of stucco and the ceiling is covered with acoustic plaster finished in a light cream color. Walls and ceiling are insulated, and the windows set in steel casements. Hardr,r'ood blocks, laid on cement, are used for the office floor. Electric light fixtures suspended from the ceiling providc indirect lighting.

The merchandise warehouse, 36x120 feet, is stocked with heavy hardware, sash and doors, panels, roofing, nails, cement, plaster materials, fireplace supplies. etc. Due to specially constructed partitions, there is no dust from the sack goods.

The lumber shed is rvell ventilated as this portion of the building was constructed with openings at the bottom and just under the roof which gives good air circulation. The lower lumber racks will hold 24-foot pieces of lumber whilc in the racks above the catwalks 2O-foot pieces are carried in stock. Loading and unloading to and from the racks can be done from trucks.

Between Mr. Nutter's office and the front u'all is the

rvindorv display which is illuminated at night. Stocks of paint, light hardu,are, and nails are displayed along the inner wall of the office, and are very convenient for customers to make their selections.

The Nutter Lumber Company started in business i.n its f'ormer location at 143 N. Gordon Street in 1932. Expansion of business necessitated the acquisition of the new site and the building of the nerv pla.nt. Mr. Nutter has been in the lumber business for many years, and prior to that was associated rvith the roofing business in Pomona.

Besides J. Fred Nutter, the orvner, the personnel of the company includes : R. C. Witter, sales manager; George E. Bleich, assista.nt sales manager in charge of hardware and paints; Victor M. Jones, accountant and credit maltager; J. D. Alumbaugh, yard foreman; H. C. Richter, assistant yard foreman; Talpey Benner, in charge of roofing and insulation ; Elmer \fetzger and Ruel W. Pitts, drivers.

The company held open house on Saturday, October 21, from 9:00 a.m, to 9:00 p.m., when the public inspected the nerv quarters. They u.ere the recipient of many bcautiful fl'oral pieces rvhich \vere on display at the opening.

Egypt First to Make Use of \(/indows

Egyptians were the first people to make use of windows. At that time they consisted merely of narrow slits between slabs of stone and were for the sole purpose of admitting light. It was many centuries before window panes were invented. These were made of thin slices of marble which admitted a certain amount of light and also gave privacy to the home. Windows of this type were first used in Greece in 430 B.C.

Apparently the use of glass in windows was invented by the Romans. Windows during this period were merely small doors which swung in and out on hinges. It was to an unknown Dutch inventor that the honor came of being the first to construct a window sash. This was about the middle of the 17th century. Meanwhile, various materials other than glass, which originally was very expe.nsive, were used. Waxed paper and isinglass were pressed into service. The window of today represents evolutionary processes that have run for 3,000 years and possibly more.

Industry's Opportunity

Bv W. G. Binsham, District Director Southern California Federal Housing Administration

Throughout the Southern California area the building industry and related lines are now engaged in a districtwide campaign to promote property modernization and repair.

The campaign has the full cooperation of the Federal Housing Administration, which through its Title I Property Improvement Plan will play an important part in the Program.

During the past few years the building industry and allied groups have found that many modernization jobs can be closed and new prospects developed by featuring these Title I loans for which the dealer receives cash payment on completion of the jobs.

It is a well-recognized principle that the pulling power of a sales story is increased when it tells "How to Pay For" as well as "What to Buy, and Why." The "How to Pay For" need is met by the Title I, Class 1, plan of the National Housing Act.

The theme of the campaign is "Fix Up Your Properties," modernize the structures inside and outside, rvith convenient monthly payments on the FHA plan of installment buying.

Members of the industry rvill take special interest in figures recently released by the Federal Housing Administration, showing that from February 3, 1938 through June 30, 1939 alone, the period since the amendment reviving and revising Title I was rpassed approximately 570,000 Title I loans, covering repair and modernization of structures representing an advance of credit of more than $243,000,000 have been reported throughout the United States. These figures are exclusive of the loans calling for the construction of new buildings, both residential and non-residential under Title I.

Industry, throughout the operation of the National Housing Act has approached the FHA with cooperative suggestions and plans to make the most of the modernization and repair program, and in line with these suggestions the FHA has prepared literature and display material: window displays, specimen newspaper advertisements, special radio programs, etc.; are available to dealers at the Nervspaper Section of the Federal Housing Administration, Washington, D. C.

In addition lending institutions will be happy to cooperate with dealers who refer them modernization projects. They also have FHA literature and printed forms as well as information about the FHA plan.

It is to the interest of every member of the building industry to be thonoughly familiar with the workings of the FHA plan of Property Improvement loans. Briefly, the plan is this:

The applicant for tbe loan must have an adequate income and either own the property or hold it under a satisfactory lease. The charge for these loans cannot exceed a discount of $5.00 per $100 face value of a one-year, monthly-payment note. The feature that appeals most strongly to the modernization prospect is the fact that the loan is repaid in equal monthly installments suited to his income.

The cost of both labor and equipment may be covered by the loan, provided such equipment becomes a permanent part of the structure itself. This may include repairs, remodeling, decorating, landscaping, and the installation of new plumbing, heating or wiring systems.

The maximum amount of insurable loan is $2,500 and the maximum term three years and 32 days.

The building industry profits in two 'ways; more sales can be closed, and the dealer receives cash payment.

Seer Johnson r.r'as custodian of the star for 33 years. It was a source of great pride to him, and his delight in wearing it caused it to be stolen tlice, once in Paris and again in Chicago. The Emblem of Revelation was the contribution of the membership at large to a fund for an insignia for the ranking member of the House of Ancients. The fund was started at the Annual Meeting of September 1893 in Chicago, and presented in the form of a bucket of pennies. The following year, at Kansas City, the insignia was made the official one of the Seer.

The emblem is of solid gold, with a center of white enamel on which appears the official Cat in the conventional pose-back arched and tail curled in the shape of the figure nine. Inscribed at the top on the face is the u'ording "House of Ancients," and at the bottom "Seer." Set in each of the nine points is a diamond. The back bears the following inscription : "Presented to Bolling Arthur Johnson, September 9, 1893, at the Annual Concatenation of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, held in Chicago." According to Article 4, Constitution of the l{oo-Hoo Order, this jewel was made the "Emblem of Revelation" at the Kansas City Annual Concatenation September 9, 1894, which article directs that the jewel shall be worn by Mr. Johnson until his death, "after that to pass to the senior member of the House of Ancients."

Joint Congressionaf Committee on Forestry to Conduct Hearings in San Francisco

San Francisco, November 27-Representatives Harry L. Englebright of'California and Walter M. Pierce of Oregon announced today that public hearings by the Joint Congressional Committee on Forestry, of r,r'hich they are members, will be held in the offices of the State Chamber of Commerce, 350 Bush St., San Francisco, December 6 and 7. The Committee was appointed last year to study the present and prospective forest situation in each of the timber producing regions of the country, and to make such recorlmendations as are found necessary and advisable to insure continuous operations and adequate future supplies of timber and forage and other forest products.

Following the San Francisco hearings at which the States of Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico will also be represented, the committee will meet in Portland, December l2 and 13 and again in Madison, Wisconsin, December 18 and 19.

The Congressmen stated that the hearings would be of particular interest to Californians in view of the extensive forestecl area in the State, the lumber industry centered there, arrd the dependency of the population upon forest and watershed cover for grazing, recreation, irrigation, and flood control. Englebright pointed out that in 1937 California ranked third in lumber production with a cut of 1,776,000,000 board feet. More than 19,000 persons received $28,000,000 in salaries and wages, and the total value of lumber and timber products was placed at $56,538,000.

California is also an agricultural State of the first order rvith 4,800,000 acres of irrigated land valued with improvements at nearlv $3,000,000,000. Precipitation occurs during a period of about 5 months, and with hot dry summers it is of utmost importance to agriculture that run-off be retarded, and made available gradually throughout the year. The great Central Valley Water Project now under construction comprises dams, reservoirs and aqueducts rvhich must be freed from the menace of silt deposition by the upbuilding and maintenance of an adequate watershed cover. In the southern part of the State where nearly 5O per cent of the population lives in less than 1.4 per cent of the area, and

rvhere only .7 of 1 per cent of the water supply is found, watershed protection is of prime importance. Slopes are steep and heavy rains falling on fire denuded areas have caused disastrous floods. As recently as 1938, for example, 74tives were lost, 830 houses demolished, and losses of $83,000,000 i,ncurred by flood waters.

Little doubt was expressed by the Congressmen that the future rvelfare and development of the State is largely dependent upon continuously productive fo,rests and maintenance of an adequate protective cover on slopes subject to heavy precipitatio,n and severe erosion. "And that which is true of California is no less true of Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico," it was stated.

In commenting on the forest situation in the latter States, the economic importance of grazing and watershed cover, as well as timber growing was emphasized. Preliminary 1939 reports indicate that 6,400,000 head of sheep and cattle valued at $99,250,000 are dependent upon range lands for forage, and that forested areas provide much of the range forage. In the Colorado and Rio. Grande River Basins, which include parts of Nevada and New Mexico and all of Arizona, are some of the nation's largest irrigation an<l power developments, i.e. Boulder, Parker, Roosevelt, Coolidge, Elephant Butte dams, and others. The areas irrigated from these reservoirs sustain the greater part of the population. The effectiveness of these larger irrigation projects and a great many smaller o.nes depends upon sustained stream flow and storage throughout the year.

Representatives Englebright and Pierce explained that the purpose of the conrmittee will be to hear testimony on the condition of forest lands in each of these five States and to ascertain the adequacy and effectiveness of present practices in relation to an abundant future supply of tin-rber and forage, rvatershed protection, flood control, stabilization of communities, water use, recreation, and other direct and indirect benefits of forest land.

Likewise the adequacy and effectiveness of Federal, State and private cooperation in such matters as fire protection and insect and disease control r,r'ill be studied. The trend and need for extension of Federal, State and Community ownership of forest lands will be examined as u,'ell as such other measures as appear to be necessary and advisable in upbuilding and maintaining their productivity.

"Representative persons are being invited to attend," it was said, "but the hearings will be open and others desiring to come may do so."

A complete list of committee members is as follorvs:

Chairman, Senator John H. Bankhead, Alabama; Vice Chairman, Representative Hampton P. Fulmer, South Carolina; Senator Ellison D. Smith, South Caroli.na; D. Worth Clark, Idaho; William J. Bulow, South Dakota, and Charles L. McNary, Oregon; and Representatives Wall Doxey, Mississippi; Walter M. Pierce, Oregon; Daniel A. Reed, New York, Harry L. Englebright, California.

A Milfman's Perlect Day

lle rose quite late in Burlingame, The sun was shining bright, His coffee, breakfast rolls and all Were just exactly right.

At eight o'clock he reached the mill, The men were in their places, And all were working with a will With smiles uDon their faces.

Orders came fast all through the day, And there were no complaints, The customers wore happy grins And talked like perfect saints.

Some ancient bills were paid in full, Without a gr'owl or kick, No worker lost a thumb that day Or even got a nick.

And not a pulley slipped a belt And life was just a song', The lumber was all dry and soft And not a thing went wrong.

No peddler or solicitor Came there with urgent plea, Taxes an'd debts were all forgot In universal glee.

Nothing took place that day to cause One face a frown to wear, And naught to halt the steady work Or make Phil Barker swear.

When William sought his home that night Without a thought of care, He sat him down and closed his eves And said a little Draver:

Lord this has been a perfect day, When everything went right, I know that sometime I must die, Please let me die tonight !

The above poem, dedicated to William Jameson, president of the San Diego Planing Mill, who passed arvav last June, was written by Philip Mor5s, who was until he retired some years ago manager of the San Diego Lumber Co., selling agents in San Diego for Dolbeer & Cars'on Lumber Co.. San Francisco.
