The tenth anniversary banquet of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute was held at the Elks Club, Los Angeles, Tuesday evening, November 30. There were 22I ih attendance.
Hal Baly, Frank Curran, Guy L. Ctzner, T. L. Ely, E. F. Ganahl, H. W. Mcleod and H. S. Patten were the guests of honor of the Institute. These retail lumbermen, together with the late C. G. Lynch, started the organization on November D,1927.
There were no speeches or business transacted, it was just a general get-together and good fellowship meeting to honor the organizers of the Institute and to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the association.
At 6:00 p.m., the retailers began to assemble in the Club's lounge and a half hour later a splendid steak dinner was served.
Following the dinner there rvas a fine floor sho.rv with Kearney Walton as master of ceremonies. The entertainment numbers included: "Sons of the Pioneers," who are heard regularly over the Columbia Broadcasting System and also well known for their work in moving pictures, in their hill billy act; John Tejo and his parrot; Arden Sisters, singi.ng and dancing; Linden London in songs; a comedy trio in the skit, "Charlie, the }forse;" and Kearney Walton, baritone soloist.
Patrick & Marsh's orchestra furnished music during the dinner hour and for the floor show.
The following telegrarn was received as we went to press:

Six inches of rain in two days overflowed the plant of The Red River Lumber Company employing three thousand men. Heroic efforts kept the power house in operation supplying steam heat, light and water to the town of seven thousand. Ten thousand hydro electric horsepower were available and locomotives were coupled on to steam lines. Company officials state today that all plant operations will be resumed within twenty-four hours.

Threat of a tie-up of coastal steam schooner service was averted on December 7 rvith the settlement of a "hot meal" dispute between the Shipowners' Association of the Pacific and two maritime unions, the Sailors' Union of the Pacific and the Marine Firemen, Watertenders, Oilers and Wipers' Association. Working relations between the Shipowners' Association and the unions were resumed after a threeday suspension. 46 of the Coast's 89 similar vessels, most of which are engaged in the lumber trade, were affec,ted until the agreement was reached.
The lumber industry during the holiday week ended November /7 stood, at 43 per cent of the l9D weekly averag'e of production and 41 per cent of average 1929 shipments. The week's reported production was 7 per cent greater than new business booked, and 8 per cent greater than shipments. Due partly to the Thanksgiving holiday, production and shipments were appreciably lower and new orders were slightly less than in the previous week, according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, from regional associations covering the operations of important hardwood and softwood mills.
During the week ended November 27, 536 mills produced t46,I97,ffi feet of hardwoods and softwoods combined ; shipped 135,379,ffi0 feet, and booked orders of 136,887,000 {eet.
and Washington reporting to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association for''the rveek ended December 4, totaled 61,234,83 f.eet. This was approximately 11,500,000 feet less than the volume reported by these mills for the week ended November N, the last previous week without a holiday.
At the rate of cutting at the reporting mills, the entire industry produced 38.8 per cent of its average weekly cut during 1926D. Orders taken by these mills totaled 72,698,859 feet, an increase of approximately 8,300,000 feet, when compared with the volume for the week ended November 20. However, the Association said the increase does not show enough change to indicate a market improvement.
Shipments totaled 62,80,634 feet, or about the same level as those .reported for the past three full weeks. The unfilled order file stood at ?49,423,595 feet.
The Western Pine Association for the week ended December 4, 118 mills reporting, gave new business of 40,938,000 feet, an increase of one per cent over the previous week. Production dropped from 46,950,000 feet to 43,032,000 feet, and shipments were 45,975W feet, nearly 5,000,000 feet more than the week before. Orders, production and shipments were below the corresponding week of 1936.
The California Redwood Association for the week ended November 27 repofted. production of 13 mills as 5,752,ffiO feet; shipments 4,681,000 feet; and new business 4,520,000 feet. Orders on ha.nd at the end of the week totaled 26,117,000 feet.
Wide acceptance of lumber grade-marking was one of the features of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association convention at New Orleans recently, according to Col. W. B. Greeley of Seattle, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, who during the past week was in conference with Kenneth Smith, secretary of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute.
Stopping off in Los Angeles, where grade-marking has been pioneered by the Institute, Col. Greeley expressed the opinion that the plan would sweep into every section of the nation during 1938.
Continuation of its promotion of small-home construction and furtherance of grade-marking of lumber were designated major objectives of the National group next year, the Seattle lumber executive reported.
Western Timber Structures, Inc., and the Timber Engineering Company of California have designed and sold the lumber and hardware for a barrel rack with a capacity of.6,200 barrels for the Stewan-Jones Winery at Lodi, Calif. Erection of the rack was started on December 6.
The lumber was entirely prefrabricated at the Wendling, Oregon, plant of The Booth-Kelly Lumber Company. Designed for the use of timber connectors, holes, rings and grooves were made at the mill before the lumber was shipped, resulting in a great saving of time and cost in erection.
Portland, Dec. 10.-The A. F. of L. were beaten in a test of strength with the C.I.O. for control of employees at the fnman-Poulsen Lumber Co. sawmill, one of the eight big plants in the Portland district shut down 121 days by a union jurisdictional dispute, at an election called yesterday by Governor Charles H. Martin to allow the employees to choose their bargaining agency. There were 559 good ballots cast. The count was: For the C.I.O., 376; f.or the A. F. of L., 183.
Governor Martin ofiered the same election facilities to other mill owners and promised state and local protection to returning workers. He announced that Inman-Poulsen was abiding by the results of the vote. Inman-Poulsen officials said the mill would open Monday, with 250 to 30O men in one shift; the mill's operations will be curtailed until its order files can be built up.
Davis Lumber Co., Davis, Calif., recently purchased the stock of the Anderson Hardware Store, Davis. The stock will be moved to the lumber company's hardware department.

I like that for a Christmas wish to my friends. I've used it before, and will probably do so again. I love the spirit in it. Unlike much of our Christmas cheer this contains spirit rather than spirits.
A happy, peaceful, .ru-;";";d christmas to you, men and women of the lumber industry !
**1.
I especially specify it that way to distinguish it from the sort of Christmas that millions of our modern-day Americans seem to enjoy, a sort of unholy cross between the Big Apple and a case of delirium tremens; just gorging, and sousing; maudlin wit and monkey humor. ***
We're funny folks, we humans. About two thousand years ago there lived for a brief space of time on this earth a Man who called Himself Jesus, and who is now called Christ. He was a perfectly astounding character; when He spoke meri never forgot His words nor His manner; and He taught a philosophy that so burned itself into the souls of men that His name grows mightier with the passing of the centuries.
Early in the era that was named Christian after Him, men began observing His birthday. Soon it came to be a holy day. All over the world people gathered together on that day to speak of Him, and to manifest the deep, deep peace His teachings had brought to their hearts. It was a beautiful observance of a blessed occasion. And so its early founders intended it should be. And they called it Christmas-Christ's day.
But the lazz Age""*J ;"; and even christmas fell under its spell. They soon changed a holy day into a holiday. There IS a mighty difrerence. It became a time for roistering, for feasting, for drunken drinking and for ribald revelry. And thus it is today to many millions of our peoPle.
Now, the point I'm fixing to make is this: I have no objection whatever to any sane man drinking just as much as he doggone pleases, provided I don't have to be bothered with him while he's doing it,' and his ribald revelry is also O.K. with me so long as I don't have to listen to it. What I DO object to is having Christmas (Christ's Day) transmogrified into a general brawl. Of course there's nothing I can do about it except kick. And this is my protest, which, like the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la, will change the situation not in the least. ***
The fellow who gets "stlff" to celebrate Christmas is something of the same mental equipment as the Hebrew scenario writer in Hollywood who proudly announced to his friends that he was busily engaged in writing his mas-

terpiece. "And what," they asked, "is that?" "A life of Christ," he said, "with a happy ending."
Ed Howe, the so-calleu lr*" l, "o,"ao Hill," once said: "Instead of trying to love your enemies, why not treat your friends a little better?" If I were hunting a good text for a Christmas sermon, I'd grab that one.
To be a better friend a" ,*, ]ri"na, is one of the finest character building activities I know of, and one that brings returns on the investment that could never possibly be measured in terms of figures or percentages. I like a little stanza by Esther Clark, that saYs: ***
Give me one friend, for Peace or war' And I shall hold myself well-blessed, And richly compensated for The cussedness of all the rest. One who, when I am sick and glum, Can lay convention on the shelf, And, just for my dear sake become, A blooming heathen, like mYself. tr<**
Or this one, by an author whose identity is unknown to me:-
A song to sing and a crust to share, With a friend or two.
A smile to give and a grief to share, With a friend or two.
A vale to cross, a hill to climbA mock at age and a jeer at timeThe prose of life takes the time of rhymeWith a friend or two.
And., so long as trri" n.] o:t:" a treatise on friendship and kindliness, .and thoughtfulness (which is the REAL Christnias spirit), how about this rhyme by Francis Harris Smith?
I love to see a little path, Half-trodden through the grass, It makes me think of friendlY folk
Who, unassuming, pass;
Intent upon some little act Of simple kindliness;
I love to see a Path
Half-trodden through the grass.

He is not dead, this friend; not dead, But in the path we mortals tread, Got some few, trifling steps ahead, And. nearer to the end.
So that you, too, once past the bend, Shall meet again as face to face, this friend You fancy dead.
And it was Chadwick who wrote along this same strain: It singeth low in every heart, We hear it each and all, A song of those who answer not However we may call. They throng the silence of the breast, \[fe see them as of yore, The kind, the brave, the sweet, the strong, Who walk with us no more.

Yes sir ! Ed Howe had the right thought for Christmas. "Treat your friends a little better." And tell 'em you like 'em. Let's close this with a stanza from Eddie Guest that reads:
If with pleasure you af,e viewing, Anything that I am doing, If you like me or you love me, Tell me NOW. Don't with-hold your approbation 'Til the preacher makes oration, And you see the lilies shining on my brow. For no matter how you shout it, I won't know a ttring about it, I won't care how many tear drops you may shed; If you know a thought that's due me, NOW'S the time to slip it to meFor I cannot read my tombstone when I'm dead.

On old Silvermine Road north of Norwalk, Conn., is a sawmill run by water power which Fred Buttery, owner, says is the oldest in the country. It dates back to 1688, three years before the establishment of the first post office in what is now the United States.
Mr. Buttery has worked at the mill all of his more than 60 years and before him his father owned it. He has a big overshot water wheel and a turbine which are used alternately.
He saws his own timber-mostly oak and other hardwood-and also saws foi customers who haul their own logs to him. Guide rails for the contractors who are constructing the Merritt Highway through Connecticut constitute a large part of his business. He also saws much timber for pleasure boats.
Mr. Buttery does all the work himself, from maneuvering the logs into position to operating the saw and piling the lumber. He says it's much simpler that way. No watching employees to keep them away from the big whirling buzz saws, ,no compensation insurance, no pay roll taxes, no union demands, no Labor Department inspectors, no government questionnaires. He just saws wood.
"I don't have to go ottrt looking for business, either," Mr. Buttery remarked. "I can handle cuts that the big mills with all their machinery wouldn't fool with. I work slowly and carefully and so I don't waste much timber."-Nation's Business.

Criticizing critics who say "it can't be done," Dr. Wilson Compton, executive head of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, outlined plans of the lumber and other building material and equipment industries to cooperate in a home building drive to provide comfortable, well built homes which may be bought and paid for at from $12 to $25 a month.
Speaking before the Conference on Residential Constrttction held under the auspices of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D. C., November 17 and 18, Dr. Compton stated that the lumber industry is expecting soon to start building another laboratory group of small homes in a central location in the East. These will be in the $1800 to $3600 cost range, including basement, all utilities and standard installations of heating, lighting and plumbing, adapted to low priced small homes' It is expected that the experience of the 1937 lumber industry's Small Homes Program will be repeated, and that thousands of lumber dealers throughout the country will build these houses in their communities for demonstration purposes.
"We are working," said Dr. Compton, "towards comfortable. well built modern housing which may be bought and paid for in the South at $12 per month, on the Pacific Coast at $15 and in the North for $18 and $20. This with the earnest cooperation of builders, dealers and material and equipment industries we believe can be done."
"This home building activity has been incorporated under the name'The National Small lIomes Demonstrator.' Men in the building industries who have shown an active interest in the possibilities in this field have been invited to act as trustees. It is not a new building federation. It is simply a pooling of 'wits and wisdom' for sharper concentration of interest on this single problem of the Small Home."
Holding that the home buyer today receives "ten per cent more house for the dollar" than he received ten years ago, Dr. Compton pointed out that there have been great improvements since 1927 and the housing dollar used in com-
parative building costs toclay produces a better house than it did a clecade ago-"better by one-fifth or one-{ourth and in some types of housing, one-third."
"Comparative figures sho'iv national averages. Building in some places for the time being at least has been largelv shut off by mounting costs but this is by no means'universal.
"The deterrent effects of rising costs have been considerably diluted by the stimulating effects of improved home financing on easier terms at lower rates. In ten years the ir,surecl mortgage will be standard and indispensable to orvnership by those to whom economy is a persuasive consideration.
"It is also true that there has not been a sustained building activity in this country during any period of declining costs, The trouble comes rvhen costs either up or down move too fast and go too far."
Dr. Compton divided the housing problem into two parts -one of supplying housing for persons of small and precarious incomes, the other of supplying those of small but regular incomes.
"Persbns and families generally having a reasonably dependent income, however small, can through private building get decent housing which they can afford.
"I am not saying that they ahvays do get it; simply that they can get it.
"Many evidently do not want it enougl-r to llay for it rvhether supplied by pri'r'ate or public euterprise. That is a sociological rather than an economic prol>lem' Those who want it and cannot norv get it constitute the great prospective market for lorv priced homes.
"Small homes of good design and standarcl material and equipment at low cost are entirely practicable itl tnost communities. They need never become slums. In fact, they
MARSHFIELD
316 American Banh Building
Ray Schaecher, Mgt.
are less likely to become so than the flats of the so-called multiple housing."
In 1936 the lumber industry built three demonstration homes in a suburb of Washington for a combined cost less than the Federal Housing Administration estimate-built them and paid for them exactly as rvould any builder with good credit. Careful account was kept and the result given to interested building industries.
"Then in 1937 in recognition of a surprisingly wide public interest," said the speaker, "we undertook a systematic campaign to encourage progressive lumber dealers and builders throughout the country to build similar demonstration houses in their own communities.
"Thirty-six hundred dealers responded. The building trends of last summer discouraged some of them, but so far this year over 2500 demonstration houses have been built in over 1000 communities and are still being built.
"An analysis of the costs of some 600 of these houses in 35 states shows costs lowest in the South and on the Pacific Coast and highest in New England. But 60 per cent of these homes, notwithstanding the increases in costs, were built for lc'ss tharr the same houses cost in the original suburb in the fall of 1936. The cost range was between $1250 for the 'B' house-a 4-room bungalow in the South-to $5000 for the 'D' house-a 6-room Colonial in Nerv Eng1and."
Public enterprise has a function of great importance on two areas: Housing for persons of small and precarious income where the decisive factor is sociological-and as a current reminder to private housing enterprise to do the things it ought to do and can do, but often does not do.
"It is fashionable nowadays to assume that public enterprise and government subsidy are necessary to supply decent housing to people of small income. It simply is not true. Public enterprise has just one important advantage over private building. It does not have to charge the occupant of a house the interest on investment nor for that matter the repayment of principal itself. Omitting subsidies, Government does not and cannot build and sell good housing at costs lorver than private enterprise can build and sell."

Every piece of Wolmanized Lumber* is properly treated, under laboratory supervision. Every piece is also properly sold, to bring reasonable profits to a legitimate dealer. That's what the mark means.
Wolmanized Lumber is sold only through recognized trade channels. Your profits are protected. Wellknown producers carry stocks, so shipment can be obtained in straight or mixed carloads. Your own lumber can be treated, en route to you, at conveniently located plants.
The visible mark also means more business for you. There's demand for reliable protection, and pressuretreated lumber gives reliability that fits the demand. Wolmanized Lumber is clean, can be painted, nailed and stained, and the protective salts wor.r't leach out, corrode, or cause odors. Because it is needed only at exposed points, the protection costs less than 2/s extn on an ordinary house.
Tell prospective customers about it. Many will be interested, many will deal with you because you can supply this extra service. Our nearest office will give details. AMERICAN LUMBER & TREATING COMPANY, 1405 Old Colony Building, Chicago.

There is a certain city the name whereof is Jonesville. And the men of that town held a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and a visitor recited to them that little rollicking rhyme, "It Isn't Your Town, It's You."
And the men decided to get busy and make their city grow.
And they said: "We will erect a great illuminated sign and place it where all who pass may read, and we will put this town on the map." And they did. And the sign read:
"Watch Jonesville Grow !"
And they placed this sign at a point just between the highway and the railroad tracks, where those journeying through in either direction, whether by rail or motor, would be certain to see it and read it. And then they sat back with a satisfled smile on their several faces, to watch Jonesville grow.
They greatly admired their sign, and they bowed down before it, and worshipped it-speaking in a civic way. And the electric light company furnished the juice free to illumine it by night, feeling that the new people it brought to town would make it a good investment. They thought the sleeping car patrons would wake at night, read the sign, and plan how they might get back to this wonderful town of Jonesville, and grow with it.
They got the notion in their noodles that motorists speeding East and West over their main highway would read that sign, and, forgetting the beach bathing in Miami or the alluring lures of Hollywood, slap on their brakes, pitch their wigwams, and settle down to watch.Jonesville grow. Without stopping to reason why---4t1st thought that.
They hired a fair-haired gal by the name of Maggie, and they started calling her Marguerite, and they made her a part of the picture. For Maggie could punch a typewriter and bring forth letters therefrom, and they appointed and likewise delegated Maggie to get her typewriter all oiled up and be ready to answer the ton of mail that the sign
would bring in, asking about Jonesville. They confidently expected Maggie to keep that machine hot telling the interested passersby all about Jonesville, and why it was going to grow.
But Lo, and Behold ! Maggie had nothing to do but chew her gum and powder her nose and drink such "cokes" as the boys would occasionally buy her. For none of the thousands who rode East and likewise West through Jonesville, cared two whoops in Hades whether or not Jonesville grew. And very soon they dropped Maggie from the pay-roll; but they kept the sign still in place, and still lighted. They still hoped.
And then one day there stopped in Jonesville a man who was wise in the ways of cities and their growth. And he saw the sign, and he heard the story, and he grasped the situation. And he spoke to the people of Jonesville, and such words as these fell from his lips:
"Folks, you're all right, but you're all wet. See ? It pays to advertise-sure ! But first you must have something to sell-you must be prepared to deliver the goods. I have been watching Jonesville, and I have been reading your sign, but there are no indications that Jonesville is living up to the sign. It ISN'T growing.
"This is an evil and adulterous generation in which we are living. It is a generation of unbelievers. The people of this day and age do seek for a sign, as did the faithful of old. And the only sign of progress they see around Jonesville is the sign down at the depot; but the town does NOT live up to the sign. It does NOT grow. If you really desire and expect to have people watch Jonesville grow-then START IT GROWING.
"Towns," said he, being wise in the ways of men as well as of cities, "are like humans. They grow from within, and not frorn without. Quit wasting your time and money just hoping'for something to happen. MAKE SOME-
THING HAPPEN. Clean up your town, your streets, your vacant lots. Fave well.your streets, particularly those that the passersby can see. Paint up your buildings. Make everything along the highway and the railroad look so clean, and fine, and grand, that those who drive and ride through will involuntarily stop and stare, because they are seeing things here they do NOT see in other towns. Then, when they read your sign, they will nod their heads, because they have seen what you are bragging about. Make your town so sweet and swell a place to live that it will delight the hearts of your own home people.
"And then when you have done that, people will want to stop and look at Jonesville. They will want to drop a line back and ask all about it. They will tell others on their journey of that beautiful little city they went through that fairly made their mouths water with its amazing attractiveness. Then Jonesville will start to grow. It will grow from within, first. Then, it will grow from without. But the people of Jonesville won't be worried about the passdrsby. And when Jonesville reaches that stage, it will start to be a metropolis."
Thus he spoke and departed. And they stared at one another in Jonesville. And they knew that they had listened to the undraped truth itself. And they went to work to make their town what THEY'wanted it to be, rather than what they wanted someone else to think of it.
And the thing is working.
And Maggie has irer job back.

I know the beds of Eastern princes and the luxurious couches of Occidental plutocrats, but under the rafters of a farmhouse, where the mud-wasp,s nest answers for a Rembrandt and the cobweb takes the place of a Murillo, there is a feather-bed into which one softly sinks until his every inch is soothed and fitted, and settling down and farther down falls into sweet unconsciousness, while the screech-owl is calling from the moonlit oak and frost is falling upon the asters. Stocks may fuctuate and panic sieze the town, but there is one man who is in peace.

J. H. "Jetry" Stutz, one of the best known lumber salesmen in Northern California. is a member of the young and progressive wholesale firm of Atkinson-Stutz Company, of San Francisco.
"Jrtry" was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and attended school in Washington, D. C., where he moved with his parents at an early age.
He later attended a school of forestry from which he graduated in 1912. His first job was with Gardiner & Howe, forest engineers, of Memphis, Tenn., cruising timber throughout the South. He entered the United States Forest Service in 1914, and after three years in this work joined the Army in 1917. On his return from service overseas he re-entered the Forest Service.
In 1922 he went to work for the Coos Bay Lumber Company at Bay Point, Calif. He traveled on the road for this firm from 1923 untll 1930, when he became a member of the sales staff of the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company, San Francisco. He covered the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley territory for McCormick until 1936, when he resigned to enter business with Jas. E. "Jimmy" Atkinson.
Mr. Stutz married Ina Roberts of Dallas, Texas, in t928. They make their home in Stockton.
C. H. Daggett, president, and Carl Hornibrook, sales manager, Ewauna Box Company, Klamath Falls, Ore., were Los Angeles visitors the first of the month where they spent a few days on company business.
That.lumber-in the form of Douglas fir plywood-plays an important part in modern airplane production is indicated by the use of several carloads of plywood annually in the Boeing Aircraft Company plant in Seattle. Projects under way in this famous plant include huge four-engine bombers for the U. S. Army, four-engined land transports, and giant 72passenger "Clipper" flying boats for trans-oceanic service. Despite the fact that aluminum alloy metals are the principal materials used in construction of these planes, Douglas fir plywood is utilized in scores of ways in their production.
The ingenious uses of plywood by the Boeing company suggests scores of undeveloped outlets to the alert lumber dealer.
Perhaps the most spectacular use of Douglas fir plywood in the Boeing plant is in construction of "mock-ups" or actual, full-sized "dummy" reproductions of new types of planes in project. These "mock-ups" are as accurately fashioned as the finished plane which will take to the air. They provide the engineering staff with a visual reproduction of their plans and permit the actual testing of control locations, passenger accommodations, and other features of interior and exterior arfangement.
"We are using more plywood in our pla.nt today than we did in the days when airplanes were built largely of wood," states Claude Hill, foreman of the wood shop and oldest Boeing employee in point of service. "Plywood has many advantages for us-large size panels, freedom from shrinkage, swelling and warping, and the saving on labor cost in handling and reworking. In addition we can get it in any thickness we want, from one-eighth inch to an inch and one-half and in panels up to four by eight feet and even larger if necessary. Another advantage in an industrial plant such as ours is the freedom from waste-we even sell the scrap to our employees who are anxious to get it for use in their home workshops.
In addition to "mock-ups" Douglas fir plywood is used in the Boeing plant for the base of assembly jigs, frame work for full scale plaster of Paris forms from which dies are made. routing templates of various kinds, bulletin boards, time card racks, clothes lockers, temporary office partitions, blue print and vellum racks, drawer bottoms, patterns of all types, and scores of other uses.
Regional Forester S. B. Show today announced the appointment of law enforcement officers specially assigned to aid in the apprehension of trespassers having illegal possession of Chritmas trees for sale or engaged in cutting these trees on National Forest land without written permit from the U. S. Forest Service. Mr. Show called attention to violations of "Forest and Fire I-aws of the State of California" in which several trespass cases were successfully prosecuted last year because defendant failed to secure permits before cutting Christmas trees.
"In the interest of forest conservation," Mr. Show said "written permit or contract of sale must first be secured from National Forest Supervisor's headquarters by anyone planning to cut Christmas trees on Federal land. There are areas in several National Forests of the State where the cutting of trees is allowed but a permit is required in all cases. It is necessary that the Forest Service authorize these operations only in those areas which will not be harmed by the removal of the young trees."
Nearly all of the Christmas trees for the California and eastern markets have already been cut under permit and transported for storage. The assignment of special officers by the Forest Service has been made in an effort to reduce forest depredation by tree poachers whose activities are usually carried on just prior to the Christmas season.
Christmas tree cutting operations for the most part have been in Shasta, Lassen and Tahoe National Forests. Portions of other forest areas in the Sierra Nevada also have been opened this year to cutting under the supervision of National Forest Supervisors and District Rangers. In no instdnces are clear cuttings made or devastation permitted.
Most common of Christmas varieties in the California Region of the Forest Service are the red fir, popularily known as the silver tip, and the white fir. In greatest demand is the silver tip which annually enhances the Christmas atmosphere of many thousasnds of California homes.
The effectiveness of government-insured loans for building and buying homes under Title 2 of the Federal Housing Act is shown in an announcement on December 11 by F. W. Marlow, Los Angeles, district director of the Federal Housing Administration for Southern California and Arizor'a. Up to Nov. 30 there have been no foreclosures in California, despite the fact that nearly 35,000 loans, with a total valuation of $147,151,986, have been made since the system's inception some three years ago.
In the nation as a whole, 45 foreclosures, out of an aggregate of 2Il,3O7 loans totaling $64,932,448, have resttlted, Mr. Marlcw said.
The mutual mortgage insurance fund now sta.nds at nearly $22,000,000, and is increasing at the rate of approximately $500,000 each month.

Portland, Oregon-A revised issue of the directory of membership of the Western Pine Association is now available for distribution. This new edition supersedes the last one that was published on March 15th. Nearly a hundred and fifty member mills are listed in alphabetical order by states, showing the location of each plant and sales office, annual capacity and percentage of production of Ponderosa Pine, Idaho White Pine, Sugar Pine and associated species. The directory also shows the standard and factory products and specialties r4anufactured at the individual plants.
Wholesalers, lumber buyers, distributors and salemen will find this directory an indispensable source of information on Wetern Pine products inasmuch as essential data on each mill is arranged in compact and convenient tabular form for quick reference. As heretofore, the new directory of membership is an 8-page folder, 8%" *ll" in size, and punched for a threering binder. It may be easily folded for mailing og pocket use. Copies will be furnished without charge simply* by writing the Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.
Ted Wright, Los Angeles, California representative for the Washington Veneer Co., Olympia, Wash., is back from a trip to the mill. He also attended the annual banquet of the Tacoma Lumbermen's Club at the Hotel Winthrop, Friday evening, December 10.
Ninety per cent of the total United States wine production is aged in tanks of California Redwood, according to figures compiled by B. F. Wade, consulting engineer to the California Redwood Association.
In preparing the first of a new series of tank bulletins for the California Redwood Association, Mr. Wade made many interesting discoveries regarding Redwood in the wine industry. Oldest in point of service is one battery of 30 tanks now in its 83rd year and still free from decay. Many other tanks installed in 1860 were dismantled in 1919 in good condition, after 59 years' service. Another battery of tanks then 25 years old, was dismantled in 1919 and shipped to South America where all are still in use.
Clear All Heart Redwood tank stock is especially selected and graded from the dense butt cuts of Redwood logs.
In his technical bulletins, Mr. Wade describes the selection and grading of Redwood tank stock, how it is cured and treated, how tanks may be cleaned of tartar and mold, what should be done to preserve empty tanks, how to convert from red wine to white storage and many other important details for the wine industry.
fn preparation are tank bulletins for breweries, chemical plants, distilleries, food products plants, petroleum industry, pulp and paper, soap, tannery and textile industries.

One of our readers sends in, what he states, is a true tale of the desert. He writes you can use this but minus my name. We thought it was good and are passing it along. Here it is:
"On the day before Thanksgiving, all of the boys in our lumber yard, who wanted one, received a nice fat turkey, as a present from the boss. One of the boys, who is an old bachelor and prides himself on his cooking ability, received his bird, and proceeded to borrow a good sized roasting pan from a neighbor. With the bird and the roaster in his car, he proceeded to the nearby town of Banning, where a friend gave him the use of his oven, for the nominal charge of 50 cents. When the bird was done to a fine brown turn, he gathered up the resultant feast, together with a few friends, and started homeward to his desert retreat, and all looked forward to a grand feast-and who wouldn't ? On the way in, however, the pangs of thirst began to assail the party, and a stop was made at a roadside tavern for the necessary liquid refreshment. The turkey in the pan, in the meantime, had been reposing on the front seat of the car, and after an absence of about ten minutes, or as long as it would take to toss off a couple of quick ones, the party returned to the car to continue the homeward journey.
"But, alas and alack ! The bird in the pan, together with a few sundry pieces of wearing apparel, was gone forever. The bird had flown I
"Total cost as follows: Turkey, $3.60; roasting pan, $8.00; leather coat, $6.50; cooking, $.50; 1 drink, $1.20; gasoline, $.60-grand total, $20.40
"As they say in Hollywood, most anything can happen on the desert."
Contract for the construction of the first unit of the new plant to be established by the Armstrong Cork Products Company of Lancaster, Pa., at South Gate, Calif., has been awarded to Lindgren & Swinerton, Inc., of Los Angeles. The company recently acquired 26 actes of land for a factory site at South Gate.
The first unit will ccnsist of a main manufacturing building, 80 feet by 24O feet, an office building and a power plant, all completely fenced, with spur tracks and roadways into the property. The plant is located on the Southern Pacific lines, and is served jointly by Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads.
Armstrong Cork Products Company is a large manufacturer of the well known Temlok building insulation products. Branch offices on the Pacific Coast, which direct the sale of Armstrong's Temlok products, are located at San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle. Caliiornia Builders Supply Co., Oakland; Warren and Bailey Company, Los Angeles, and Pioneer Sand and Gravel Company, Seattle, are wholesale distributors of Temlok products in this territory. The company is also a large manufacturer of linoleum.
Nailing is the subject of the seventh in a series of lumber information letters prepared by the California Redwood Association technical staff.
It is hard to conceive that the first wire nail manufactured in the United States was made less than a century ago in 1851, just a year before the first power sawmill was constructed in the redwood lumber region of Humboldt county From a crude beginning great progress has been made in the science of fastenings.
The new information letter treats fully with this all important phase of the use of redwood lumber. It contains a detailed table of the kinds and quantities of nails required, the holding power of nails, tells how to nail siding and how best to prevent splitting. Special advice is also submitted on the kind of nails to use to prevent corrosion, how to lessen discoloration around nails and on the use of putty, both before painting and in natural finishes.
Copies of this letter may be secured by writing the California Redwood Association, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. The full series, beginning with The Physiology of Trees, is also available. "Nailing" will be sent to all who have already requested that they be continued on the mailing list for information letters.
Frank M. Connelll, well known Los Angeles building contractor, passed away Monday night, November D, at the Wilshire Hospital, following an operation for appendicitis.
Mr. Connelly was a native of Illinois and prior to his coming to Los Angeles in 1919 resided in Montana for many years. His first lumber position in Los Angeles was with the Hayward Lumber & Investment Co. Later he was employed by the Woodhead Lumber Co., and then with John Johnson Flooring Co. He retired from the lumber business several years ago, and operated the Frank M. Connelly Co., carrying on a building contracting business,
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Sigrud Connelly, and a young son, John.
Funeral services were held at the l.ittle Church of the Flowers, Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, Wednesdav. December 1.
The formal opening of the rebuilt yard of the Noah Adams Lumber Co. at Rio Vista took place December 10. Numerous valuable door prizes were given and there was a large attendance.
Los Angeles, December 4-New home mortgage loans made by all active savings and loan associations in the United States aggregated $660,229,000 in the first ten months of this year, an average of slightly more than $66,000,000 per month, it was reported today by the Federal Home loan Bank Board to M. M. Hurford, president of the Twelfth District Bank.
Despite the drop in residential building, new home loans made by savings and loan associations have held up unusually well, an indication that these home-financing institutions are bearing an increasing share of American home mortgage lending.
In the ten months from January to October, inclusive, all active associations reported $182,226,N0 in loans for new construction; $232,93t,000 for home purchases; $139,043,000 for refinancing; $42,074,000 for reconditioning; and $63,955,000 for other purposes.
State-chartered member institutions of the Federal Home L,oan Bank System made loans during the ten months totaling $291,853,000 or 44.2 per cent of the aggregate new lending. Federal savings and loan associations had new loans amounting to $266,411,000 or 4O.4 per cent. Associations which are not members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System had new loans aggregating $101,965,000 or 15.4 per cent of the total.
During October, new loans made by all types of active associations totaled $63,621,000, as compared with $66,411,000 in September and $63,757,000 in October, 1936.
The figures issued by the Board were compiled by its Division of Research and Statistics and cover the activities of all active associations throughout the country. Those associations which are not active for any reason were not included in the survey.
Three typiccl ptrges fron the tirst aqmple bdition ol "Home."
"Ilome," the lumber dealers own magazine is ready for distribution. Just off the press, it provides an inexpensive, cost-sharing, through-the-year method of general sales contact with the new home and home-improvement prospects for the lumber merchant. The National Lumber Manufacturers Association and the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association have underwritten the first costs and month-to-month editorial expense of this new twelve-time system of business solicitation by lumber merchants.
Taking the form of the "dealers own" advertising, and featuring no specific building material, "Home" introduces the lumber merchant's "home building and improvement service," through visual suggestions of new home designs and improvement.
Eighty-four new homes are to be featured during the year in the distribution of this booklet. Seven specially architectdesigned homes are to be portrayed each month, plans for which will be available through regular retail association plan services. Interesting and entertaining material for the homesuch as new interior treatments, home improvement, and home workshop suggestions are to be found in its pages. Historical homes, home oddity cartoons and late movie reviews will also be included in this two-color, sixteen page lumber magazine.
The various designs featured in every number will suggest distinct styles suitable for not only "small homes," but also larger type houses. This is only one reason why it will prove valuable to every person coritemplating building his own dwelling.
"Home" is a concentrated form of local advertising created as a mechanical assistant to lumber merchants in contacting the consumer. It will be an asset to dealers as a circulating medium and as a mailing piece for prospect lists.
Complete "kits" containing not only a sample of the new publication, but an instruction book for its use, a prospect listing book, and full mailing information are in the hands of all retail lumber association secretaries.

Washington, D. C.-Calling on the lumber industry to vigorously promote increased consumption of its product, especially in small house construction and heavy structural uses, the Special Lumber Survey Committee of the Depart_ ment of Commerce in its 26th quarterly report, released today, pointed out that the major weakness in the lumber manufacturing industry is the low point to which unfilled orders have declined and the conti.nuing general decline in new business. This recommendation of the Survey Committee, which reports that residential building in October this year declined 25 per cent as compared with October, 1936, takes on added significance when viewed in the light of the President's recently announced intention to block the present ltusiness recession through the stimulation of construction of low-cost dwelling units by private enterprise.
The Committee reports lumber stocks at the mills on October l, 1937, of approximately 8.4 billion feet, or 6 per cent, greater than on January I this year, and 5.4 per cent lreavier than on October 1,1936. "Due consideration should be given," the Committee emphasizes, "to the combined effects of large stocks, lower volume of unfilled orders, lower expected demand during the next quarter and the momentum of current production schedules. Efiort to adjust current pro.duction more closely to current demand should be continued in both the lumber and plywood manufacturing industries. But adjustment of production to consumption is only part of the problem. Orderly distribution of forest products rvill be much aided by adhering to distribution and marketing practices shown by experience to be conducive to fair, free and equal competition. Organized industry effort in this direction has been sporadic, timid, easily discouraged. It should be resumed and diligently pushed by the lumber and plywood industries."
Pointing out that costs of lumber production have been
generally increasing, and that prices in many species barely cover cost, the Committee notes that in some regions price fluctuations in the past three months have been small: "Price stability in the lumber industry is pre-eminently desirable," the report continues, "more dependable price lev_ els rvill aid building revival. The record of the past few years indicates that building does not increase in an era of declining prices and costs; rather the contrary, as evidencecl by the boom years of I9Z5-D and the lorv years of L932-34.',
The Committee also recommends that public and private cooperation be continued in the earnest effort to increase export opportunities for American forest products, free of discriminations. It finds lumber and log exports of the first nine months of 1937 fell 3 per cent below similar period in 1936 while lumber and log imports gained 7 per cent.
Nine months reports indicate lumber production in 1937 of 25,750 million feet but the year's total may possibly exceed 1936 by only 5 per cent which would bring it to ZS,5@ million feet. The report quotes the F. W. Dodge Corporation estimates for 1938 of an increase of 12 per cent over 1937 in dwelling units, also their estimate of no gain in 1938 over 7937 in privately financed construction and a loss of 10 per cent in publicly financecl.
The report finds 1937 will probably show some gain over 1936 in the furniture industry, a slight loss in lumber consumption in the box industry, some orclers from the automobile plants, and a quiet flooring business pending a building upturn.
The Lumber Survey Committee appointed on July 9, 1931, consists of Thomas S. Holden, Vice President, F. W. Dodge Corporation, New York; M. W. Stark, Economist, Columbus, Ohio; Calvin Fentress, Chairman of the Board. Baker, Fentress & Company, Chicago, Illinois; Phillips A. Hayward, Chief, Forest Products Division, Department of Commerce; and Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager National Lumber Manufacturers Association.
