How Lumber Looks

As we go to press the tie-up of over forty steam schooners in the coastwise lumber trade still continues. The Sailors' Union of the Pacific rejected two wage proposals offered by the shipowners on November 27, The seamen need a new contract before shipping can be resumed. Operations stopped on October 4 when the Marine Fireman walked out.

Contracts of all five maritime unions employed on the steam schooners expired last September 30, but all except the sailors and deck officers have reached an agreement.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Representatives of the Department of Labor and National Defense Commission announced tonight the Federal Government rvould continue its efforts toward settlement of the ,northwest lumber strike.

Under instructions of Secretary of Labor Perkins, Commissioner E. P. Marsh will return to Seattle to call another meeting for continued negotiation of the strike affecting workers in sixteen mills.

Lumber production during the week ended November 16, 1940, was .4 per cent less than in the previous week; shipments were 10 per cent less; new business 11 per cent greater; according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from regional associations covering the operations of representative hardwood and softwood mills. Shipments were 2 per cent and new orders 14 per cent above production. Compared with the corresponding week of 1939, production was 4 per cent less, shipments 8 per cent greater, and new business, 44 per cent greater. The industry stood at 75 per cent of the seasonal weekly average of 1929 production and 83 per cent of average 1929 shipments.

Why this one living thing possesses so strong a claim on continuous life is something that will always be debated, but probably never explained. Some say it is because of the tremendous amount of water it contains. The sap of the Redwood contains water weighing more than two hundred per cent of the dry weight of the wood, and an average tree holds about seventeen tons of water.

I remember twenty years ago or more, asking the late Henry Hardtner, of Urania, La., "Father of Southern Forestry," if commercial growing of Southern Yellow Pine timber could be done economically, and he said that such tree growing WAS economically sound for the mill man,

but probably NOT for anybody else. He said that the mill man, owning his own cutover land and with the perpetuation of his mill operation for an incentive, could raise Yellow Pine economically and profitably. But he didn't think people could ever buy timberless land, plant trees on it, and raise them for a pro6t crop. He said, according to the note I made then: "If the mill man leaves immature trees when he logs, then protects the cutover land from hogs and fire, and from that time on cuts only the mature trees, letting the new crop grow continually, he CAN perpetuate a mill operation, and make timber growing pay." What a prophet he wast Every mill man in Southern Pine territory now knows that all this was gospel truth, and many hundreds of mills are doing today what he preached should be done years ago. If it had been, the South would today be covered with sturdy commercial forests. But the history of the world tells us that prophets are not often listened to during their own time.

Glued Laminated Arches of Douglas Fir Provi de Beauty Plus Economy in Church Building

This will be a merry Christmas and happy New Year for the minister and the congregation of the United Brethren Church at Everett, Washington. For their hymns of the season will rise in a new church, a house of worship built within their means and yet having the architectural beauty of a miniature cathedral.

Modern timber engineering design and methods, using everyday Douglas fir lumber, form the material means of this accomplishment. There is a true efiect of soaring beauty in the roof lines, brought about not only by the pitch and height but by the finely finished design of the arches. As the picture shows, each arch seems to have grown from the ground and merged with the wall; then to rise and taper in a curving upward sweep. The laminations are streamlines that add yet more life to the warmth and glow of the finished wood.

Glued laminated construction, while modern in this country, has a record of successful use in Europe during a third of a century. The U. S. Forest products Laboratory says, "It is reported by Swiss engineers to be highly resistant to chemical deterioration and is, consequently, widely used where metal structures or metal in connector-built wooden structures would be subject to corrosion.,,

Retail lumber dealers everywhere may develop new busi_ ness by informing themselves on the glued laminated wooden arch, for there are few places where churches, audi_ toriums, theaters, town halls, and other buildings for pub_ Iic gathering's are not community needs. Frequently the needs are not met because of the high cost of non_wood construction. And when they are met, the retail lumber_ man may get only a small portion of the order for the ma_ terials.

Twenty cents mailed to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D.C., will bring alZ3-page book on the glued laminated wooden arch, by T. R. C. Wilson, Senior Engineer, U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. Ask for USDA Technical Bulletin No. 691. The book carries 73 drawings and photographs.

Liberalization of Building Codes Urged by L. P. Keith

Washington, D. C.-Laying emphasis on the structural safety and fire resistance of wood and citing recent developments in its application to both heavy and residential construction, L. P. Keith, structural engineer in the Chicago office of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, last week urged the adoption of more liberal building codes throughout the United States.

Speaking at the Wisconsin League of Municipalitics 42nd Annual Convention in Milwaukee on "Wood Construction and the Public Health, Safety and Welfare," Mr. Keith said building codes should not exceed those reasonable minima standards necessary for the public health, safety and welfare, but that code committees and even codes go far beyond this point.

Admitting that there is no exact measuring stick to apply to minimum code requirenents, Mr. Keith declared the Pacific Coast Uniform Building Code and the National Board of Fire Underwriters Code to be the most generally recognized basic standards.

"Any codes more restrictive than these accomplish chiefly increased cost for building and housing," he said.

Mr. Keith used data from the Forest Products Laboratory to stress the strength properties of wood and quoted the Bureau of Records Fatality Statistics of the State of New York Tenement House Department in support of his arguments for the fire safety of wood.

"There never has been a life lost by fire in a New Law Tenement due to the conflagration of the building or to any defect in construction or arrangement of the same."

"That record holds good for a period of more than thirty years in the largest city in the country," he said. "ft applies to lffi/o of. the New Law Tenements built since 1901 for lOOTo of the time that they have been in use, during which time they have been l@/o saf.e so far as any influence of construction on life safety can be brought to bear."

Recent development in wood construction mentioned by Mr. Keith were: (1) Plank structural floors and roofs in small houses; (2) Glued laminated wooden arches, and (3) Modern timber connectors. All of these, he stated, contribute to the public health, safety and welfare by making stronger and better construction with wood possible.

Thc Mud Ball

It is only a tiny mud ball, Lost in a maze of stars, Warmed by the great sun's largess And ruled by the red god Mars.

It swings round its little orbit In a somewhat methodical way, While alternate light and darkness Over its surface play.

It is stricken with cruel convulsions, Tortured by fire and flood, It is ravaged by warring creatures Who drench it with tears and blood.

One blow from a roving comet, One clash with an outlawed star, And only a fading dust cloud Its place in the scheme would mar.

And we are the finite creatures Who cumber this ball of clay, Tracing fantastic patterns Of living from day to day.

Dreading the earth's sharp tremors, Fleeing from storm and flood, Or mad with unreasoning hatred, Spilling each other's blood.

And the mighty orbs and regal, Look on in silent scorn, Wondering why earth was created And its restless races born.

Doubting perchance the importance In the vast unfathomed plan, Of an infinitesimal mud ball And its curious creature-man.

Problems arising from Government procurement of luntber for National Defense purposes, the public relations policy of the forest industries, problems in connection with forest conservation, small homes promotion and cooperation in the use of technical advances developed by the Forest Products Laboratory, featured the meetings.

M. L. Fleishel, Putnam Lumber Company, Shamrock, Fla., was re-elected president of the Association; Edmund Hayes, Clackamas Fir Co., Portland, Oregon, was elected to serve a second year as lst vice-president; other reelected vice-presidents were: W.

The general reports of the president and the secretary and manager were received at the first general meeting, which opened at 10 o'clock Monday morning.

Following officers' reports the general meeting was broken into separate groups of committees on Forest Conservation, Trade Promotion, and Nominations and Recommendations. In the afternoon National Defense problems, promotion, research and lumber trade prospects dominated the discussions. Reports were received from Wilson Compton on National Defense prospects; from R. G. Kimbell on building codes and engineering; R. B. White, Forest Products Laboratory cooperation; H.' G. Uhl, Timber Engineering Company; H. R. Northup, secretary National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, on 1941 program of the National Homes Foundation.

Mr. Compton gave the lumbermen a direct report received by telephone from the Lumber Section of the Defense Commission in Washington-that 1,039,000,000 feet of lumber had already been purchased by the Army for cantonment construction, and that an estimated additional 205,000,000 feet would be required to complete the job. Mr. Compton noted that no estimates had yet been made of the purchases or requirements of the Navy or prospective federallybuilt housing for defense workers.

At the continuation of this meeting on Tuesday morning reports were received from Henry Bahr on the operation of

the Association's Economics and Law Information Service; G. H. Collingwood, on prospects of the coming year in Forest Conservation, and C. R. French, on the Association's Information and Merchandising Service.

Prior to the general meetings the Association's Forest Products Laboratory Contact Committee met in Madison, Wisconsin. Three members of the technical staff of the Laboratory returned with the committee to Chicago and were guest speakers at the Annual Dinner meeting Monday evening. R.P.A. Johnson, A. J. Stamn and T. R. C. Wilson discussed recent developments in Laboratory research. Dr. Johnson spoke for the Laboratory's Industrial Investigation Division; Dr. Wilson for its Department of Timber Mechanics, and Dr. Stamn for its Division of Wood Chemistry.

. Plans for the enlargement of the Association's public relations and educational work were discussed at a special luncheon meeting of the Public Relations Committee. An outline for the proposed new activities will be prepared under the direction of a sub-committee of the Publicity Committee and is expected to be ready for presentation to the lumbermen around January 1st.

Reports from standing committee chairmen of the Association were received at the general stockholders' meeting, Tuesday afternoon: Trade Promotion, I. N. Tate; Forest Conservation, G. F. Jewett; Governmental Relations, C. C. Sheppard, and Publicity, R. C. Winton. The series of meetings was concluded by the Directors' Meeting later in the afternoon.

Lumbermen and technical representatives of the National and Federated Associations attending the Madison meeting were: R. B. White, O. N. Cloud, Corydon 'Wagner, E. C. Wert, I. N.Tate, B. R. Ellis, R. G. Kimbell, W. H. O'Brien, R. G. Tittts, H. S. Crosby, H. B. Alston, Chas. Snellstrom, W. A. Adam, G. H. Collingwood, and F. J. Hanrahan.

Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors recorded the following actions: (1) Admission of the Hardwood Dimension Manufacturers Association as a subscriber to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association; (2) The establishment of a new Public Relations Sub-Committee and the preparation of a long-range program to improve the public relations of the forest industries; (3) Approval of a plan to enable the NLMA to secure financial support f'or specific trade promotion and research projects from individual lumber companies in regions where support through a regional association is impractical, and from a combination of regional and individual company support in other areas where such funds cannot be provided ex- .

Lumber dealer to his lompetitor: Say, you've made good money during the hsf ten years selling paint. At what special seasons of the\arltlo you recommend really going after the paint sdes? \l

Successful lumber dealell There are only four times a year when yoq can successfully sell paint-+ummer, winter, fall'and springt

A PAINT THOUGHT

A coat of paint is as much the exterior mark of refinement and prosperity as a new suit of clotlres. It is the open sesame to the good opinion of your communit5r.

Next time you miss a paint sale, just remember-if a fellow could hit the bullseye every time, there wouldn't be any fun in shooting. ***

Oh, the poplars burn gold in the sheen of the sun And the little wings whisper and sing, For a sprinkle of dew As it catches the skies

-Perrin Holmes Lowery.

It was a little old merchant iffi;ld town in Virginia. One day he fts doy'{ behind the store counter, when a little boy hus{d[fiand asked for a pound of butter. The store-keeper yawned, stretched himse[ rubbed his eyes, and then in the most injured tone, said:

Revised Directory of Membership

Portland, Oregon, November 23-The Western Pine Association has published a revised directory of membership, corrected to November 20, which replaces the one issued April 10. The listings of member mills and tabulated data pertaining to their products have been revised to cover changes and additions that have developed since the previous directory was printed, so the information shown is currently complete. Over a hundred and forty Western Pine member mills, which are located in ten western states, are listed alphabetically by states and show the location of individual plants and sales offices, annual capacity and percentage of production of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa and Sugar Pine and associated species. The standard and factory products and specialties manufactured at each mill operation are also shown.

This directory has proven an indispensable source of essential information on Western Pine products as the data is conveniently arranged in compact, tabular form for handy reference. As in previous issues, the revised directory of membership is an &page folder, 8l/2"xll" in size, and punched for a three-ring binder, which may be easily folded for mailing or pocket use.

Copies will be sent without charge by addressing the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.

John Henry Kirby

John Henry Kirby, nationally known lumberman and. chairman of the board of the Kirby Lumber Corporation, Houston, Texas, died November 9 at his home in Houston.

He was born in the northern part of Tyler County in East Texas, November 16 1860. During his youth he got his early schooling from his mother, later he attended school at Peachtree Village, and then attended one term of school at Southwestern University, Georgetown, Texas. He studied law, in 1885 was admitted to the bar, and took up the practice of law in Woodville. With Eastern cap- ital he became active in buying East Texas timber lands. He moved to llouston in 1890. In order to develop the East Texas virgin forests, he built the Gulf, Beaumont & Kansas City Railroad. Its first terminal was a town he namedr Silsbee, after his Boston partner, and it was here that he built his first sawmill. Later he sold the railroad to the Santa Fe system, of which it is still a part.

With the aid of Eastern capital, he created two large corporations in 1901, The Kirby Lumber Corporation capitalized for $10,000,@0 and the Houston Oil Company capitalized for $30,0@,000. The former u'as the milling department of his plan, the other rvas the timber holding and buying department. At the peak of operations the Kirby Lumber Corporation had 18 mills running. At the present time there are six big Kirby mills in operation, three cutting Yellow Pine and three hardwood.

One of his major enterprises besides those mentioned is the Kirby Petroleum Company which he organized,inlg20 and is one of the strong independent oil producing companies in Texas. He was chairman of the board of directors of this company at the time of his death.

Mr. Kirby served as president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, the Southern Pine Association, Snark of the lJniverse of the Concatenated Order of HooHoo, and during the World War he was a member of the War fndustries Board, and Lumber Director of the U.S. Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation.

He is survived by his widow, two sisters, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held November 1l from the familv home in Houston.

Tribute by Wilson Compton

Washington, November 1l.-In a telegram to E. V. Clark, Kirby Lumber Corporation, Houston, Texas, Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, today made the following statement regarding John Henry Kirby:

"In the death of John Henry Kirby the Lumber Industry has lost one of the sturdiest characters of this generation. In his more active years he contributed as few have done to the upbuilding of the industry and he has been honored as few have been by his colleagues and friends in the industry. In the minds of thousands of his countrymen his memory will live as a reminder of steadfast faith in his country, fearless devotion to the Constitution of the United States and devoted attachment to his friends. There are few men who owe more to John Henry Kirby than I do, or who will join with greater sadness in the recognition of his passing on.',

Ne* Blanket lnsulation Presented bv Masonite

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-Addition of a new product-Cell-UBlanket-to the Masonite line has been announced here by R. G. Wallace, vice-president and general manager of Masonite Corporation, manufacturer of Presdwoods, Quarterboards, and structural insulation boards.

The core of the Masonite Cell-U-Blanket is a continuous piece of Cellufoam, a unique cellulose fibre material that is flexible, feather-light, extremely porous, and highly efficient for thermal and acoustical insulation. Although Cellufoam weighs only lfu pounds per cubic foot, it is sufficiently rigid to support its own weight and, therefore, Masonite Cell-U-Blanket will not sag or settle.

Cell-U-Blanket is designed primarily for application to studs, joists, or rafters spaced 16 inches on center. It is available in two thicknesses, tf-inch and l-inch. Each of these sizes is offered in two types of coverings, thus actually providing four varieties of blanket insulation. A roll of the thicker blanket will cover 125 square feet of surface area, the other 250 square feet.

Special flanges are designed to permit Cell-U-Blanket to be set back five-eighths of an inch from the face of the studs, providing an air space of five-eighths of an inch between the Cell-U-Blanket and the interior wall finish.

The blanket can be applied quickly with staples, nails, or tacks, and it is easy to cut with shears.

In Cell-U-Blanket, durable, waterproof, asphalt-impregnated coverings incase the core. One side also is moistureproofed wittr a coating of asphalt, which supplies a positive vapor barrier toward the inside of the building.

In Silver Sheen Cell-U-Blanket, the vapor barrier is augmented by a non-metallic reflective insulation.

Development of Cell-U-Blanket follows the purchase last year by Masonite of the patent rights, trademarks, E&chinery, and other assets of Cellufoam Corporation of New Jersey and Cellufoam Corporation, a Delaware comPany. For several years, the New Jersey Corporation, operating under patent licenses granted by the Delaware company, manufactured Cellufoam here in a plant at 6565 South La Vergne Avenue. In recent years, Cellufoam has attained

In thir photogrrcrph, the 0crngles bv which

wide use as a thermal insulating agent in refrigerating equipment, railroad cars, airplanes, automobiles, trucks, and buses and for covering pipes and air-conditioning ducts.

Since the Cellufoam plant, which is leased from the Clearing Industrial District of Chicago, was taken over by Masonite more than $100,000 has been expended to provide additional floor space and new machinery-

The principal raw material used in the manufacture of the core of Cell-U-Blanket is lvood fibre. In the manufacturing process, this cellulose fibre and water are mixed in a beater, such as is used in the making of paper. Chemicals are added, including mould, termite, and water proofing agents. Then the mixture passes into mechanical agitators which, by violent whirling, create millions of air bubbles in the material. The mixture is flowed on the screen of a Fourdrinier machine, where it forms into a sheet oI wet lap of desired thickness. Although this sheet contains an infinite number of air cells, it is sufficiently stable to transfer to drying machines without loss of form. Cellufoam emerges from the dryers as a flexible board-

.By presenting it in blanket form, Masonite now adapts Cellufoam to convenient and highly efficient use in the blanket insulation field. Cell'U-Blanket is being marketed through established lumber dealer outlets.

Door Company Compiles lnteresting Facts About Doors Used in Ancient Days

The following article, reprinted from The Architectural Digest in the new catalogue recently issued by The California Door Company, Los Angeles, contains many facts regarding doors used in the past will be of interest to readers of The California Lumber Merchant:

HISTORY'S PAGES TURN ON THE HINGES OF THE DOORS OF THE WORLD

Doors-just a few square feet of wood, metal or stone, yet what a potent factor in the destinies of mankindhow intimately associated with human tragedy, sufiering and degradation; with love, peace and happiness. They inspire hope and despair; they protect, imprison and release. Before the doors of the world, the entire gamut of human emotions, from joy to madness, have found expression.

"Down thro' the ages they have swung to and fro, Serving mankind for weal or folwoe."

Graciously the open door bids you enter. The closed door thunders, "keep out !" Ah, the closed door-mystery lurks behind closed doors. Secrets are told, sins are committed, plots conceived, violence and crime perpetratedbehind closed doors. And yet withal, behind closed doors sacred offices are performed, laws enacted, charity dispensed, inventions developed, sciences studied, and multitude of other beneficent services accomplished.

The first door was undoubtedly a triumph of prehistoric architecture, constructed as a protection from the elements, prowling animals and tribal enemies. While not a thing of beauty, it served the purpose and probably had to be lifted into place and propped to hold it securely, a clumsy, crude affair, born of a single idea-protection.

As the brain of primitive man developed, the door rvas made to slide open and shut. Then some individual, in whose mind glowed the spark of genius, evolved a swinging door, hung by pivots at top and bottom of the hanging stile which worked in sockets in the lintel and sill, the latter being made of some hard stone, probably basalt or granite. This was the method used in hanging all ancient doors.

The earliest records of doors are those represented in the paintings of the Egyptian tombs, in which they are shown as single or double doors-each in a single piece of wood. The most ancient doors were usually made of timber. The doors built for King Solomon's'temple being in olive wood, which were carved and overlaid in gold. Elm, cedar, oak and Cypress were also used in making doors in ancient times. Doors dating from 2000 B. C. found at Nippur, were in dolerite.

In the Hauran in Syria, lvhere timber is scarce, the doors were made in stone, and one measuring 5 feet 4 inches by 2 f.eet 7 inches is in the British museum; the band on the meeting stile shows that it rvas one of the leaves of a doubfe door. At Kuffeir, near Bostra, in Syria, the entrance doors to the town, nine to ten feet high and of stone construction, have been found.

The ancient Greek and Roman doors were either single, double or folding doors. No Greek doors have been preserved and only a few bronze doors, belonging to the later years of the Roman Empire still exist. The magnificent bronze doors of the Pantheon (124 A. D.) are especially noteworthy, and the Byzantine doors of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople are quite as strikingly beautiful.

In the Middle Ages the doors were usually made of solid planks set edge to edge and secured to each other by dowels or bands; the whole being held in place by long strap hinges having holes through which nails were driven through the wood and clinched on the other side. The exact period when the hinge was substituted for the hanging stile with pivots at top and bottom is not quite known. The change, however, seems to have brought about another method of strengthening and decorating doors, viz: with wrought-iron bands of infinite varieties of design. As a rule three bands from which the ornamental work springs constitute the hinges, which have rings outside the hanging stiles fitting on to vertical tenons run into the masonry or wooden frame.

Splendid examples of French Renaissance art are the

carved wooden doors of St. Malclou at Rouen, attributed to Jean Goujon. In the periods from Henry IV to Louis XV, very highly decorative types of wooden doors for mansions and public buildings were produced. Modern bronze doors generally follow the Italian Renaissance type; familiar examples are the doors of the capital at Washing. ton and of St. Bartholomew's at New york.

The era of American decorative doors began aboat l72O in the Colonies. There were no professionil architects in America in the seventeenth century, and few in the first half of the eighteenth century. practically all of the houses of this period, and even through the greater part of the eighteenth century, were the design and workmanship of local carpenters who persisted in the English type, modified to meet local conditions.

For 88 years The California Door Company has been making doors for the people of the pacific Coast-big doors and little doors, plain doors and ornamental doorsl doors forhomes, hotels, apartment houses, office buildings, schools and institptions. Since the days of '49, when this business was established, the company has built thousands upon thousands of doors in a great variety of styles and sizes, from the plain pine doors used by early California settlers to the beautiful ultra modern doors of special design.

The California Door Company has every facility for man_ ufacturing doors of unusual designs to meet special architectural requirements. The company has been known as the pioneer in the front door market by their stock of new designs. They have also created a demand for those new designs by supplying their dealers with pictures of attractive doors, thus enabling prospective builders to make their selection intelligently.

The company is issuing this catalogue with the intention of adding new designs from time to time that will react to the benefit of the entire industry.

Christmas Tre€ Poachers Will Face Arrest

I

San Francisco, filovember l4.-Nearly six weeks until Christmas and thf annual harvest of Yule trees already is under way in many forested areas in California.

While tree cutters are busy with ax and saw, wholesalers who deal in Chfistmas trees are regeiving shipments for storage in anticfpation of the mid-December rush.

According td forest rangers, Christmas tree poachers have caused considerable damage to forest tracts during recent years. But such trespassing now is being met forcefully by Section 384a of the California Penal Code which requires that all Christmas tree dealers in this State must have notarized permits to possess or transport trees, and Section 135 of the Vehicle Code authorizes State Highway officials to investigate shipments of trees to determine legal possession.

State and Federal officers will closely supervise all phases of the Christmas tree trade in California. Shipments of trees from Oregon woods also will be checked for credentials at California ports of entry.

t'These safeguards," states Regional Forester S. B. Show of the U. S. Forest Service, "will provide maximum protection to private land owners who may have a valuable investment in standing trees. Likewise, public forest areas will be adequately guarded against poaching and trespass.

"When a purchaser invests in a fir tree for the home this Christmas he can be reasonably sure that it's an 'honest, tree, not one that has been bootlegged."

The Forest Service reported a commercial harvest of 50,0@ Christmas trees on national forest lands of California last year. In addition to thinning thick stands of young fir trees, the sales to operators brought $12,640 to the U. S. Treasury.

Twenty-five per cent of this money will be funded to counties for local schools and roads.
