How Lumber Looks

Seattle, Washington, November IO, 1944-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in October (4 weeks), was 150,113,000 board feet, or 95 per cent of 194G 1943 average. Orders averaged 139,074,000 b.f.; shipments 150,446,000. Weekly averages for September were: Production, 149,736,m board f.eet (94.7 per cent of the 19'101943 average) ; orders, 154,156,000; shipments, 150,089,000.

Forty-three weeks lor L944 cumulative production 6,627,908 board feet; 43 weeks, 1943, 6,530,951,000; 43 weeks, 1942, 7,n9,159,000.

Orders for 43 weeks of. 1944 break down as follows: ratl, 5,4O2,420,W board feet; domestic cargo, 791,503,000; export, 168,5B0,00O ; local, 625,300,000.

The industry's unfllled order file stood at 982,510,000 board feet at the end of October; gross stocks at 477,952,0m.

The definite low spot in Central Procuring Agency buying, which featured the West Coast'lumber situation during September and up to the very end of October, has been ended by an unexpected upturn in military demand. CPA West Coast lurnber takngs for the two fall months were down to less than 80 million board feet per month, or only about 14 per cent of production. The industry ventured to think of reconversion and to plan for the return to normal trade. Then the new war demands swung into the picture, in the way of a top sergeant's sudden order "As you were ! Fall in !"

The West Coast lumber industrv believed it had finished

its job on airplane lumber. Now it has to supply an urgent need for 7 million feet of Sitka spruce and Noble fir aircraft lumber for troop gliders. There has been surprise shift on Douglas fir lumber for military truck bodies. This supply assignment was apparently completed. Now from Detroit comes orders for several million feet more of Douglas fir truck body material. November 1 saw a round half-dozen "must" orders for cargo shipm'ents of lumber from West Coast ports, placed on extremely short notice. The Signal Corps has discovered a serious shortage of crossarms for essential extensions of telephone lines-and here again several million feet of a specialized grade of Douglas fir lumber is an almost immediate demand. Another program, one previously unheard of within the industry, projects a prodigious number of prefabricated warehouses which will be shipped knocked down for urgent if temporary needs.

The items cited simply emphasize the point that West Coast lumber has apparently passed through a low spot of government requirements and is again working under the tremendous pressures of the urgent wants of war' However, the lumber and construction controls that have been liberalized remain so. There has been some increase in retail yard stocks. All elements of the construction industry, including lumber, will be ready to resume private building when the orders for reconversion are given.

Meanwhile, the West Coast lumber industry faces some (Continued on Page 30)

The Outlook for Lumber Supplies After the \(/ar

Seattle, Washington, November 15-"The present rate of national lumber production is about 33 billion board feet," Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, states, in a new publication, "The Outlook for Lumber Supplies After the War." The annual rate of consumption is close to 34 billion feet, he says, pointing out that over a five-year period consumption of lumber has kept ahead of production.

Within this period national lumber inventories "have declined from an initial national aggregate of about 18 billion Jeet to about 7 billion. Unfilled orders have increased to a point nearly equal in total national volume to the total lumber stocks on hand," Dr. Compton reports, in commenting on the reasons for the drastic restrictions which the government has imposed on lumber purchase and sale.

The national lumber spokesman believes that annual lumber production will be no more than 30 billion feet per year after the war. Sawmills will then stop "overtime" operations, he predicts, many forest owners will reduce cutting to match growth on their holdings, quality rather than quantity will be the average lumber production goal, and the tremendous war pressure for lumber unlimited will be taken from the industry.

With no problem of plant reconversion, the industry will be able to meet all lumber demand except that for seasoned items in the first months of peace, Dr. Compton declares. He cites federal figures on the vast untapped supplies of sawtimber for postwar lumber needs, and concludes, "The surest way to keep the forest growing timber is to keep fires out of the woods and to keep buying and using forest products."

There were several excellent entertainment numbers during the dinner hour. The party was sponsored by the San Diego Hoo-lloo Club.

Since1863

I've read L three thirty-five, Oh Lord, With all its clear writ pages, The law of the War Production Board And its bureaucratic sages; But the writings of that august board, With legal minds so fresh, Ilave made me fear that I, oh Lord, Am weak in mind and fl,esh. In simple language, oh, so clear, They amend Amendment C, While I, poor soul, have yet, I fear, To master Amendment B. So, let me ask you this, Oh Lord, It's just a simple feeler, How does a fellow buy a board, From a retail lumber dealer?

1t:* the "Re-Saw")

Ifowever, it has been officially announced by those in high aqthority, that not only the much cussed and discussed "L-335," but most other restrictions on lurnber distribution will be taken off as soon as the European phase of the war ends. In the meantime students of government regulations will be interested if not amused to learn that OPA (see Federal Register, Nov. 1, page 13,004) has placed a ceiling of two dollars a ton on all garbage and swill sold on the island of Kauai. in Hawaii. ***

Some of my well-informed friends seem skeptical about prospective regulation removals after the war. fn fact, one of the best inforrned men I know offered the other day to make me a little bet that not only will ceilings not be taken off, but that in addition we will have a FLOOR under prices in the reconstruction days that follow the war. Having made a number of sucker bets during the last year, I failed to take him up on his offer. f'm sort of cured of being over-optimistic.

r was riding a train "r"rl .J,nl Mexican border the other day, and at one of the stops a man got back on the train with a whole carton of popular American brand of cigarettes under his arm, and proceeded to offer smokes to those about him, before he stuck the carton in his suitcase. Being unaccustomed to the sight of such a princely fortune, one of us asked him where he got them, and how. He said he bought them for a fancy price on the Mexican side of the river. That he asked the dealer how he got Amrerican cigarettes that Americans can't get, and the dealer said they were sent Lend-Lease to England, and

resold by England to Mexico, and now the Americans who get across the river and are willing to pay a fancy price can get them in cartons.

T.t

I'm a great admirer of our Seabees. Don't think anything done in this war was wiser than the creation of this unit of the Navy. So I was tickled pink, as the saying goes, at what a youthful member of our Navy, just back from two years in the Western Pacific, told me the other day. Among other things I asked him how he liked the Seabees? "They're swell," he said. "They can do anything, those boys can. Why, anywhere we struck an island where they could get hold of some corn, or cocoanuts, or other things too, those Seabees would rig up a coil and run a batch of mash, and make some fr,esh whiskey in no time at all. And in places where liquor was not be had, or at best at prices no gob could pay, those Seabees sure were wonderful." Which goes to show that the viewpoint of ttr,e young and artless is sometimes a thing to be marveled at.

{<rF*

It has become worn and trite to remark that the wonders that this war is producing, shame the imagination of a few years back. Not many weeks ago a man was killed fying an experimental plane, rocket-propelled, so well informed men told me at the time. They said they did not think anything happened to the plane; simply the body of the man failed to withstand the pressure he was under. That this man had previously fown this plane from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and back to Los Angeles, a total of nearly 800 miles, in 58 minutes, was told me by a very sound man who seemed certain of his facts. The next time out he crashed. Do you wonder? How much speed a human body can stand, is sornething we are still trying to discover by experimentation. ,< *

The above I can only relate, but I believe it, because of the men I heard it from. But THIS f saw. 'I was driving recently near a plane testing territory, and suddenly a plane few over my head at such a rate that I stopped the car quickly and jumped out to look. And I saw a plane flying in a great circle, not over fifteen hundred feet from the ground, I thought, and at such a rate of speed that I had to keep turning on my heels like an axis, to watch itgo.f have been watching fast planes on frequent occasions since the war started; but I will swear that this plane I saw would make the next fastest plane I have seen travel, look like a heavy truck traveling on the ground. Rocket propelled, someone told me, when f related what I had (Continued on page 10.1

(The Sixty-Four Dollar Question)

(Continued from Page 9) seen. Guess it must have been. I would never have believed itifI had not

It reminded me of the colored brother's description of the first plane he saw fly. He said it took two men to watch it, one to say, t'Here she comes," and the other to say, "There she goes." The plane I saw flying illustrated that remark exactly. * * +

For nearly thr'ee years lumbermen in this country have been wondering what happened to the sawmills in the Philippine Islands which, of course, fell into the hands of the Japs. Like everything else, a blanket of silence descended over the Philippine lumber industry. The lumber folks interested have been hoping that the Japs may have preserved the mills and operated them, instead of destroying them. Through the grapevine route the story has recently reached this country that the Japs did not destroy the mills, but have kept them in good working order, and are operating them and shipping the lumber to the shipbuilding industries in Japan. Now, if they will fail to damage the mills when driven from the Islands, one of the finest hardwood industries in the world will be ready to resum,e operations shortly after we win the Islands back. ***

When you look back to World War I and the time we took in those days to build and commission ships, /ou realize what miracles are being performed today. The Western Hardwood Lumber Company, of Los Angeles, which has been for three years fabricating the interiors of many scores of ships built for the Government at Los Angeles Harbor, is now doing that same work for a great fleet of high speed armored transport ships for the U. S. Navy. Frank Connolly, president of Western, reports that one of these ships they equipped, built by Calship, was turned over to the Navy one day, and just three weeks later she was under fire in the Philippines, while engaged in landing soldiers and removing casualties. Think of that! *:t*

Wonderful things developed in this war will come to the lumber industry when the war ends. I don't consider that I am even sticking my neck out when I predict that within two years from the time fighting ceases, the lumber industry everywhere will be utilizing everything in a tree,'

from the ground to the tipof the trunk, including all branches. In Oregon today a marvelous plant operating with Government money is engaged in grinding all the leavings of the loggers into a pulp, and experimenting with innumerable products from such pulp. The wildest predictions are rampant concerning the things that can be done with these wood grindings. Plastic will be the main thing. They will be manipulated and mechanized and treated and prepared for a thousand useful purposes. So it is safe to predict that in all our woods operations, regardless of where located or what species of wood are used, we will soon be doing to trees what our modern packing houses do toa critter; use everything but the squeal. Don't doubt it, lumber friends. Get ready for it. The day of making only boards and planks from fallen trees belongs in the back ages with the Dodo Bird and the mustache cup. Miracles are coming. Help them along. ***

Talking about wooden miracles, wait until you see what is going to be done with plywood-and soon. Wise men are carefully planning and working today to see what all can be done with that wonderful material, and what they already have proven would startle you. Besides the flat plywood sheets of the past, you will see it treated, impregnated, bent, moulded, fabricated, made into a thousand di,fferent forms never even dreamed of .until now. A lot of this stuff is already out of the laboratory, and ready for postwar use. Watch plywood for miracles!

Sawmill in California

The Ogletree Lumber Company, of Livingston, Texas, which concern has been manufacturing Yellow Pine lumber for more than a generation, is building a sawmill of considerable size in Eureka, California. They have bought a large stand of Redwood and Fir timber not far from Eureka, and will bring the logs to the mill for manufacture.

Progress is being made on the construction of the mill, the plans having been drawn by the younger member of the firm, Ben Ogletree, and the mill is being constructed by his father, G. R. Ogletree. The sawmill will be a double circular with one rig with top saw to break down the large logs, and the smaller circular rig to cut the cants into lumber. The entire plant will be electrically driven. There will be a gang, an edger, trimmer, and all the other necessary equipment. All lumber out of the mill will be handled in packages by carriers, and loaded by a crane. The mill will be served by water shipping from the port of Eureka, and by the Northern Pacific Railroad.

Both father and son are planning to make their homes at the new mill.

A Full Length Mirror Door Makes A \(/onderful Christmas Present

By Jack Dionne

In the January first issue ol 1944 when I was listing in this column the things a lumber dealer COULD sell if he would just get out and hit the ball, and in spite of lumber and shingle shortages, I mentioned full length mirror doors.

And right back I got a bunch of letters from dealers that read: "Why in blazes didn't y'ou mention that before Christmas ?"

Well, friends, it's before Christmas now, and listenthere isn't one single, solitary home in your selling territory-no matter where that territory is-that couldn't use and wouldn't appreciate a full length mirror door. No home ever had too many of them. And what is more, there are hundreds and hundreds of homes in every territory that hasn't a single one. And the one and only reason they haven't is that the lumber dealer, who is the natural seller of mirror doors, hasn't done his duty by his customers.

He hasn't told his customers how easy it is to get a full length mirror door installed. He hasn't told them how reasonable in price a full length mirror door is. Most

Peter A. Stone Meets with Southern Cclilornia Declers

At a meeting called by Peter A. Stone, price executive, lumber branch, Office of Price Administration, Washington, D. C., which was held at the Mayfair Hotel, Los Angeles, he discuss6d with the retail lumber dealers plans for the appointment of a regional OPA committee and the possibility of decentralizing from national to regional jurisdiction. He told about the plan and answered a number of questions about it.

He also met with the dealers in the San Diego area on November 18 at the San Diego Hotel where he discussed the same subject.

folks are actually surprised when they fifd out how small an outlay of money will bring one into the home-

For the lumber dealer, the full length mirror door at Christmas time is a "NATURAL." There is nothing in his stock that is so definitely a Christmas gift, as a mirror door. Bet there isn't a lumber dealer anywhere who reads this, who can't sell anywhere from a dozen to several dozen mirror doors between now and Christmas, if he goes at itright. Give your trade a turnkey job on a mirror door in the home. Make them a price on the door installed. Take all the job ofi their hands except paying. for the door. Make it as easy for them to buy mirror doors as vou possibly can.

And you will find that not only will you make a lot of mirror door sales, but in addition you will make a lot of pleased customers who will remember you when they want something else in your line. That door that the whole family will dress in front of will remain as a lasting advertisement of your good salesmanship.

Mirror doors can be had in any quantity. They are reasonable in price. They make a priceless Christmas gift. Well-what are you waiting on?

One More Bridge To Cross--But Quick

Bv R. T. Titus Director oI Trade Extension, West Coast Lumbermen's Association

Ponton bridges have been used to cross streams for thousands of years. There are instances of their use in the writings of Homer, around 9OO B.C. The Persian kings, Cyrus, Darius and Xerxes, used them. The Persian Army Engineers under 9yto. built the first ponton bridge of actual record in 537 .B.C. Xerxes made l.ris famous crossing of the Hellespont some 50 years later, using one row of 36O boats, and a parallel line of 314. The flooring was "made of tree trunks sawn into planks and cut the width of the bridge."

Compared with other types of bridges, say the storied bridge of San Luis Rey with its knotted fibrous cables swaying high in the air, the ponton bridge is about as basically complicated as tossing a log in a stream. Out of these two early designs alone have evolved the most modern bridges in the world. One haq become a great suspension span over the Golden Gate, the other has become the tool of hard-hitting armies in the field.

With militarv use as old as the ponton bridge itself, each war has seen its higher development. Today is a far cry from Xerxes. It is even somewhat removed from the time when the Union Army was stopped at the Rappahannock, had to wait 20 days while a ponton bridge was secured and assembled-a delay that cost them a resounding defeat in the Battle of Fredericksburg. fn this war, ponton bridges are on the spot and ready when needed. Blasted out bridges are sometimes crossed by superimposing prefabricated structures on the wreckage, whereas pontons come in handy for cross-country work, and fighting in primitive areas and islands.

The pontons are lined up, frequently kicked into place with little outboard motors, anchored, and the decking 'quickly laid down, and the crossing effected. as heavy mobile guns, troops, and supplies roll forward. The same bridge can cross as many streams as necessary. The Allies don't burn their briiges, they take 'em with them.

To match the exacting demands of this up-to-date military precision, the behind the lines story reaches back to the lumber mills and to the forest itself. Douglas Fir ponton lumber has a specification and science of its own.

With a deviation of straightness of grain that cannot

World Wcr II Ponton Bridge

exceed one in 15" in slope, the first job is to find areas where Douglas Firs coul'd yield a high percentage of suitable logs. There is no precise rule to locate such an area. The lumber companies didit by noting where their straight-grained logs came from. Only those who found a good .supply of them undertook to produce ponton lumber. In some cases, special devices at the sawmill's headrig were used to check for straightness of grain.

For texture, a simple test may be given the doubtful pieces to save needless further handling and processing. By sticking a small knife blade in flatways, at right angle to the grain, and prying upward, the direction of the fibers could be determined.

After the mill has discovered a green candidate tor a ponton balk (stringer) or chess (plank,) the next concern is to reduce its water content to l9/o or less without developing more than four moderate surface checks "not more than 12" deep, 12" long, an'd well distributed." Specifications like this, on top of hungry war demands, made air drying too risky and too slow. Kiln drying at proper humidity is also slow and delicate. The manufacturers turned to chemical seasoning. In a nutshell, the purpose of chemical seasoning is to keep the surface from checking rvhile the interior is dried by established methods. When rvood dries, it shrinks. It follows that if the surface of a timber gets too small to go around its green interior, severe strains are set up that result in twisting, checking and downright splits. By use of certain chemicals uniformity of drying is secured through retaining some moisture in the exterior, while the interior is drying out. While the chemical does not in itself speed the drying process, it makes possible the operation of kilns on a faster drying schedule than would be possible on untreated lumber.

You are as young as your sense of perceptions; You are as young as your words; You are as young as your admirations; You are as young as your generosity; You are as young as youtr memories allow you to be; You are as young as your power to feel wonder and surprise;

You are as young as your service to something greater than yourself.-B. W. Overstreet.

An Airmcn's Prcryer

(The following came to us from Walter Steves, of San Antonio, now piloting a B-24 in Italy.)

God guard and guide our men who fly; Thru the great spaces of the sky;. Be with them as they take to air, In morning light and sunshine fair.

Eternal Father, strong to save, Give them courage-make them brave. Protect them wheresoe'er they go, From shell and flak, and. fire and foe.

Most Loved Member of their crew, Ride with them up into the blue; Direct their bombs upon the foe, But shelter them whom Thou dost know.

Keep them together on their way, Grant their work success today; Deliver them from hate and sin. And bring them safely home again.

Oh, God, protect our men who fy, Thru lonely ways across the sky.

Mcrrines clnd Hqmburgers

The big Marine stepped up to the counter at the Stage Door Canteen for G.I.'s, and said to the pretty girl who stood there smiling at him:

"Forty-eight hamburgers, please, with onions."

Her eyes protruded. Her mouth gaped. He noticed her consternation.

"Take it easy, honey," said the big Marine. "I'm not going to eat them all myself ; I've got two buddies waiting to help me."

A Nquticcl Bemcrrk

An over-dressed lady of rather ancient vintage paraded along the street where many men in uniform lounged or strolled. She passed two salty sailors, back from overseas, and as they looked over her excess finery, one of them said:

"The fittin's are worth more than the hull."

Homes cnd Hope

So long as there are hornes to which, Men turn at close of day;

So long as there are homes where Children are, where women stay; If love and loyalty and faith be Found across these sills, A stricken nation can recover from Its greatest ills.

So long as there are homes where Fires burn, and there is bread;

So long as there are homes where Lamps are lit and prayers are said; Although a people falters through The dark-and nations grope, With God Himself back of these Little homes, we still have hope.

Table D'Hote

One of the crew of an ocean liner happened to find a first-cabin menu card, and seeing at the top the words "Table d-hote," he turned to his pal and inquired what in the something or other those words meant. So his pal explained in this fashion:

"It's like this 'ere. Them swells in the saloon have some soup, a bit of fish, a bit of this, a bit of that, and a bit of summat blse, and call it 'table dottie.' 'We uns have 'table dottie,' too, only difference we mixes it all together and calls it stew."

Good Cheer

Charles Kingsley said: "The men whom I have seen succeed in life have always been cheerful, hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their faces, and took the chances and changes of this life likg men, facing the rough and smooth as it came, and so found the truth of the old proverb: 'Good times and bad times and all times pass over."'

Rhode Islqnd qnd Texcrs

Texas is 212 times as big as Rhode Island. A Texas soldier who was stationed in Rhode Island for a short time, remarked when moved elsewhere that he sure was glad to get au'ay from that state, and when asked why, he said that every time he went out for a morning stroll he ended up in some other state.

One More Bridge to Cross -- But Quick

(Continued from Page 16)

Some mills find that kiln drying can be speeded up as much as one-third.

Many chemicals have been tried, singly and in combinations. Job was to find a substance with desired hygroscopicity, or ability to attract and hold moisture, that was also easy to apply and cheap enough to use. It was known that common salt, sodium chloride, would do the trick, and some mills began using it. All of them gave it up when it was learned that its use imparted objectional residual properties to the wood, such as corrosive action on nails, screws, and hardware incidental to the end product. West Coast mills are now using a powdered urea salt with good success. Before trying chemical seasoning losses through checking degrade were running as high as 40 to 60 per cent, where the same mills are now holding under 3 per cent loss.

The urea is applied by dry spreading over the sap side face of the flat grain pieces, with the outer curve of the annual ring up. The lumber is solid piled in a protected place as the hand spreading progresses. The method permits diffusion of the chemical into each piece. If the humidity is low, a little water is sprayed over the lumber with a hose or an ordinary sprinkling can, before the urea is applied. This prevents drawing too much water from the interior of the lumber. Actually, the chemical does not pull the water to it, but simply reduces the vapor pressure and thereby induces the higher vapor pressure of fresh water in the green interior of the wood to force its way out, pushing water ahead of it. The salt thereby keeps the surface moist and so prevents checking during seasoning.

Kiln drying must follow, or the pressure will come into balance before the water content is reduced to the required percentagd. The general rule established is to allow one day of chemical action in the pile for each inch of thickness in the lumber. The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has prepared an interesting free booklet on this subject called Chemical Seasoning, Progress Report No. 1.

A look at the sizes of ponton stock at once suggests other production difficulties. They ran: ZlxIO%; 2lxl2t/2; 3xl2; 4x8; 4lx6l; 6x8fu; 6lx8r/a; 8x10 ; 8fux10fu; r.vith lengths of 16; 14; and 22 feet. When a piece is rejected it means that it has to go to the resaw for cutting to the nearest standard size. Often the length required can not be obtained from a given log without loss of remaining wood in useful sizes. Production has not yet reached the point where it is possible to have the bucker in the rvoods bear ponton lumber in mind when he works a freshly. fallen tree. All of this naturally adds a good deal to the cost as well as the problems of manufacture.

The next time you see a picture of a ponton bridge, or hear of their use on the battle fronts, you can appreciate a little more, the job of our lumber industry at war. When ,dealers look at their scanty stocks they can know where the lumber is going. They can tell their customers that plenty of lumber is coming up as soon as we cross a few more rivers between here and Tokvo.

Opens Lumber Export Ollice In Los Angeles

Joe A. Bugley started in the lumber export and imPort business for himself recentlY, operating as the Pan American Sales Co. with offices at 430 Petroleum Building, Los Angeles, Calif. The telephone number is Rlchmond 3408.

New Sources of Lumber

The November 1944 issue of the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's National Red Book Service is just off the press. It is the 126th issue of the book, which is a semiannual consolidation of that service's twice-a-week bulletin of changes in the lumber and woodworking industries.

Lumbermen's Credit Association Inc., Chicago 5, publishers of this service, advise that as compared with the issue of six months ago, there are dozens of newly listed sawmills, some of which are brand new sources of lumber, others are mills which have resumed.

Joe A. Bugley

For the past four years Joe has been selling lumber to the retail dealers in Baja California, Mexico. Recently he "planed" to Washington, D. C. to discuss the lumber and lumber products quotas for Mexico with the officials of the Foreign Economic Admin-

istration and War Production Board. Following extensive correspondence, which included contacts in Mexico City, export license for sizable quantities of Douglas Fir, mostly low grades, were issued to carry on the various irrigation, railroad and industrial projects now under construction across the border. Joe advises that Baja California's normal requirements are between twelve and fifteen million feet of Douglas Fir per year.

Appointed Mcrncrger ol Gypsun Production Opercrtions

Ora Fowler Grieve has recently been appointed manager of Gypsum Production Operations of The Celotex Corporation, it is announced by C. G. Muench, Celotex vice president in charge of operations. He will make his headquarters at the Celotex Port Clinton, Ohio, plant.

Mr. Grieve, a native of Fowlerville, Michigan, was formerly with the Certain-teed Products Corporation in a similar capacity.

Plumbing

The WPB permits the use of copper in the manufacture of various plumbing fixture fittings and trim, including float rods, flushometers, single and combination faucets, and shower heads and arms. (Schedules 4 and 5, as amended to Order L-42,\ issued Nov. 13.

For the past 68 years, the lumber industry and other industries marketing through retail lumber dealers or selling to wood working factories have used this service as one of their guides in credit and collection work. They have also found that as an aid in sales promotion and as a guide to sources of lumber and allied products there is nothing as good.

Architectural Competition

More than 700 inquiries have already been received by the sponsors for the $2500 "Arts & Architecture-United States Plywood Corporation Architectural Competition" for "America's ideal postwar small home for the average family."

Last year's competition drew more than 500 entries from all over the country and some 'from foreign lands. First prize is $1250.

Results of the competition will be offered to the public as "usable and buildable plans."

The competition-open to all architects, engineers, designers, draftsmen, technicians and students-closes December 20.

Judges for the competition are: Frederick Langhorst, AIA, San Francisco; John Rex, AIA, Gregory Ain, Charles Eames and J. D. Davidson, last four from Los Angeles.

Scn Diego Hoo-Hoo Meeting

The San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club will hold a dinner meeting in December at which a prominent speaker will address the members. The date will be announced soon.

Washington, D. C., November l5-Nearly 10 million acres of American forest lands are now officially certified as tree farms, only three years after the inception of the tree farm movement by forest industries, it was just announced by the forestry department of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Recent certification of 65 such projects in Texas has broughi the total acreage now under scientific industrial management to 9,300,298.27 acres in 7OS tree farms, the announcement said. The tally was made by J. C. McClellan, association assistant forester.

Starting in the 'West, the tree farm movement has now spread to 10 states, evenly divided between West and South. Acreage in the South totals 5,783,461.27 on 656 tree farms; and in the West, 3,516,837 on 49 farms. The number of tree farms in each state follows: Alabama,296; Arkansas, 257; Mississippi, 28; North Carolina, 10; Texas, 65; Washington, 16; Oregon, 21; California, 4; Idaho, 5; IVIontana, 3.

Tree farms are part of a'national movement sponsored by forest industries in a widespread program of perpetuating forest resources. The designation is given by voluntary organizations of timberland owners to properties which have been inspected and approved by forest authorities of recognized standing. Requirements include high standards of fire protection and the practice of one of the forms of continuous yield technique, or "cropping" of forest products. Many thousands of acres of forest lands, aside from certified tree farms,,also are being managed for continual crops of trees, it is pointed out, but have not yet been inspected for certification.

Sponsoring organizations include the Southern Ping Association, 'Western Pine Association, and the \Afest Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Will Go Into Business lor Himsell

Neil Comegys of Los Angeles has left for the East to attend to some personal matters, and when he returns he will go into business for himself. He was with the George E. Ream Company at Los Angeles, and prior to that was associated with the Los Angeles office of The Celotex Corporation. He is well known.to the Southern California lumber trade.

Willicrm J. McDermott

William J. McDermott, partner in the Baker-McDermott Hardwood Co. of San Diego, passed away at the home of his daughter on October 20, following a heart attack.

Mr. McDermott, with Homer H. Miller, founded the Miller-McDermott Hardwood Co.ln 1923. After the death of Mr. Miller, he carried on the business under that name until April of this year when he formed a partnership with Mearl L. Baker, who had been associated with him for the past twenty years.

Over 1,000 pounds lighter in weight-an obvious advantage which is recognized by all loggers-the new Hyster logging arch announced recently is meeting all claims made for it by its maker, the Hyster Company, Portland, Oregon, and Peoria, Illinois.

Utilizing tubular construction, the new unit has the same load capacities and rigid strength as tl-re former Hyster D8 A-frame Arch. The streamlined design has less tendency for hang-ups against trees and stumps. The fairlead is of new design. The main roll is larger in diameter to give increased cable life. The unit is equipped with a top horizontal roll to make easier yarding from hill sides above the road and out of "cold decks."

Lumber Still Critical

San Francisco, November 17-Because of the critical supply situation in Western Pine lumber, box manufacturers will find it necessary to use other species, ofificials of the War Production Board's Containers Division and Lumber and Lumber Products Division said today at a meeting of the Containers Manufacturers held in Chicago.

The supply-demand position of western pines, which include Idaho White Pine, Sugar Pine, and Ponderosa Pine, is very critical, WPB officials stated, and a much larger demand is being placed upon the mills than they have a capacity to ship. The Western pine mills are now being offered much more AA-1 rated business than they can accept.

WPB officials strongly urged the box manufacturers to divert as much of their lumber requirements as possible to other species, such as Hemlock, gum, aspen and certain kinds of hardwoods which are in relatively less demand than western pine.

If box requirements during the coming months are to be met, box manufacturers will have to use some of these species. Officials also pointed out that with few exceptions these alternate woods could be used for military boxes and still be within specifications. They recommend'that the switchover to species other than western pines be made promptly while the other species are still available.

tough going. Winter is nigh, and its log supplies are uncertain. Manpower in both woods and mills is becoming a more critical problem than at any time of the war. The shortage in logging truck tires grows worse daily. There is little hope of a supply of permanent types of anti-freeze compound for logging trucks, which cannot operate on alcohol or other anti-freeze agents that are evaporated by heat. It is still war in the woods, and the forest fights on.
