How Lumber Looks

I3uilding permits from 90 cities in eleven western states and British Columbia for November, 1939, aggregated $23,?47,7,51, a gain of 1.14 per cent over the prectaing month, but 1.93 'per cent under total permit values for the same c_ities during November, 1938, according to H. R. Baker & Co. of San Francisco.

Los Angeles remained in first place with a total perrnit value of $6,395,896. The city's total was aided by 101 permits having a value of $1,542,00O, representing the Ram-ona Village housing project, first of the low renihousing pro- jects to be owned and operated by the city und& -the United States Housing Act. Portland was second rvith a permit value totaling $1,767,@O, and San Francisco .was third with $1,499,808. Oaklan.d was fourth with gL,Ol7,4ZZ and rvas followed by Long Beach, Seattle, Denver, San Diego, Berkeley and Burbank.

^-Pgli"S the week ended November 25, 523 mills produced 209,961,ffi0 feet of softrvoods and hardwoods cbmbined. shipped 215,000,000 feet, and booked orders of 175,046,W feet, a.ccording to the National Lumber Manufacturers Assoclatlon.

. Revise.d figures for the preceding week, 544 mills report- ing, -were production 248.060,000 feet, shipments ZZ3i33l,000 feet, and orders 191,665,000 feet.

Lumber orders reported for the week ended November 25 by 438 so_ftwood mills totaled Iffi,62O,W feet, shipae-nls were 202,677,000 feet, and production was 199,252,000 feet.

Reports from 104 hardwood mills for the same week gave new business as 8,426,000 feet, shipments 12,323,M Teey and production lO,7@,000 feet.

cember 2, 115 mills reporting, gave orders as 60,851,000 feet, shipments 7I,237,W feet, and production 72,589,0N feet. Orders on hand at the end of the r,veek totaled 210,488,000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association, 117 mills reporting for the week ended December 2, gave orders as 24,4O7,N0 feet, shipments 28,907,W0 f'eet, and production 28,748,000 feet. Week-end orders on hand totaled 71,891,000 feet.

The Redwood market is firm. Volume of business this year has been considerably ahead of 1938. Indications point to a continued upswing in 19,CI follorving the usual quiet holiday season.

Demand from the retail yards in California is lighter due to the approaching holidays and inventory, but there should be an increase in buying from now on for delivery after the first of the year.

By the end of this week many of the Fir sawmills in the Pacific Northwest will close for the usual holiday shutdown.

Lumber receipts at Los Angeles Harbor for the r,r'eek ended December 9 totaled 19,556,000 feet as compared with lz.Dl,W feet the previous week.

An increase in cargo freight rates of 50 cents per M to all ports south of San Francisco becomes effective December 20.

San Francisco, December 12.-The strike of the Ship Clerks' Union entered its second month on December 11. There are no immediate prospecfs of any break in the deadlock between the strikers and the Dock Checkers Employers Association.

"Remembering you at Christmas," Thus read your Christmas card, Forgetting me was easy, Remembering came hard.

You might as well be dead as without a sense of humor, particularly the way the world wags today. ft saves you doctor bills, prevents sickness because a smile beats a pill a mile, and keeps your heart happy. If you haven't an automatic sense of humor, start out to get one and develop it. You can't buy it any more than you can buy a ticket to heaven. Just study yourself over to determine wh5r you haven't got a sense of humor, and by the time you've watched yourself in the glass for a while, you'll probably have one. $ ,:. *

What a finish 1939 is makingl Again the world is being swept with fire and sword; deluged with blood and tears. The Four terrible Horsemen ride again, and this time there is a fifth and equally terrifying companion-Intolerance. The prophet Isaiah wrote: "And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Wonder what Isaiah thinks about his prophecy now? If he were around today he would change his words, probably, to read: .,And they shall beat their swords into torpedoes, and their spears into aerial bombs." * ::. :r.

Robert Louis Stevenson used to tell about the South Sea Islanders who didn't know how to lie until the mis-

sionaries carne along; after which they soon overcame that difficulty.

Before the World War, Lecky, an Irish historian wrote: "The Teutonic tribes have captured the world because o.f their efficiency." Today we might paraphrase the Scripture and say: "What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world (by efficiency) and suffer the loss of his soul (by brutality and mad leadership) ?"

*::.*

During the Franco-Prussian war a German mother wrote a plea to that nation, in which she said: "Why should the German mother, in pain and agony, give birth to a child and rear that child through industry and poverty, and teach him that when he arrives at the age of manhood it will be his duty to kill the child of the French mother? And why should the French mother teach her son that it is his duty some time to kill the son of the German mother?" Perhaps what this world needs is an uprising of the mothers of the world, to ask that question that the German mother asked, and so outlaw war forever.

*ti.*

To be self-respecting, we must be self-supporting. Nothing could be more destructive of democrary than for idleness to continually eat the bread of industry. Nobility is entirely a matter of character, not of birth. Aristocracy is of the intellect, not of social rank. Honor cannot be received as alms, it must be earned. It is the brow that makes the wreath of glory green, or, as the Greeks inscribed upon the statue of Euripides: "This monument doth not make THEE famous, Oh Euripides, but thou maketh this monument famous."

Andrew carnegie orr"u l"ri', 'i "orrrr.a.rlate poor young men upon being born to that ancient and honorable degree which renders it necessary that they devote themselves to hard work." A fine and true sentiment. After witnessing what a mess of their lives the spoiled sons of a lot of rich men make, I sometimes regret that every American boy is not obliged to start out in life in so,me strange town, with an extra shirt, an extra pair of socks, a ten dollar bill, and nb one to help him in any fashion. In ttrat direction lies the road to character.

The heights which great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, ' Were toiling upward thru the night.

Thinking of Andrew Carnegie reminds me of the fact that his success story, like that of practically every other business man who has helped build the greatness of the United States, begins like this: "He veas the first to work in the morning, the last to quit at night;" or, "he burned the midnight oil while others slept or played;" or, "he worked harder and more diligently than other boys." That's the way we built our great men. But not any more. Those sort of successes are gone. Not permanently, we hope, but for the present at least. 'We've passed laws to prevent overwork and oven-zealousness. The fact that that is how strong men have been built since civilization began, makes no difference. It's agin the law. Ben Franklin's best axioms, if closely followed today, would get someone into trouble. Working harder, longer, and more intelligently than the other fellow, was all right to make Carnegies, Edisons, Fords, Franklins, and Lincolns; but we're not building those kind nowadays.

Along the shores of the sea we o,ften find a giant granite boulder, standing like a sentinel on guard. The billows and

waves of untold years have washed the sand from around its base; the water line has been moved back. But invincible it rernains, defying the lash of the sea-marking the ancient boundary. Now and then I meet a man who reminds me of one of those granite pillars. He stands where the Constitution, fresh frorn the pens of the old masters, placed him. The tidal waves of fanaticism roar at his feet. But, unafraid, he holds to the old faith, and fights for the proven things on which the greatness of this republic was built. On such men our future depends.

r love self-confide""" J,orl*]*n"ru the man has the stuff to back his self-opinion. Many generations ago a l9-yean-old boy answered an ad. A factory owner wanted a manager. The boy offered to take the job for $1500 a year, an unheard-of salary. The advertiser was amused. He could get hundreds of l9-year-old boys for much less. "But not boys like me," said the youngster. He so impressed the man that he got the job at his own price, which soon proved to be the greatest investment the employer ever made. The boy was Robert Owen, who was to become the world's first really great business man. Reminds me of Knute Rockne's story. He said he called the football aspirants together early o,ne season at Notre Dame, and told them to gather in squads of ambitious backs, tackles, ends, guards, etc. When he came to inspect the

groups he found fifteen big, powerful men who wanted to be guards, and among them a runt. He looked the small man over. "You want to play guard?" he asked. "Yes sir," said the other. "But aren't you awful small?" asked Rock. "Yes sir, but I'm awful tough," said thd boy. He was. That was Metzger who became one of football's immortals in the position of guard.

Many wonderful thoughts have been uttered concerning the California Redwood trees, but none more eloquent than an utterance of the famous agnostic, Col. R. G. Ingersoll, who said: "Here are trees that have outlived a thousand human governments. Ilere are limbs older than the pyramids. While man was emerging from barbarism to something like civilization, these trees were growing. Older than history, every one appears to be a memory, a witness, a prophecy. The same wind that filled the sails of the Argonauts, swayed these trees."

Some philosopher o""" l"ru *la *n"ru are two things we want to know about a rich man. First, how did he get his money? Second, what is he doing with it?

With Christmas at n"*, anr, is a good time to think of the words of George Horace Lorimer: "It's good to have money and the things that money will buy, but it's

good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy." That remark is as full of wisdom as a tree full of owls. If you don't believe it, check over the men you know who have amassed great fortunes and see if you don't discover that a lot of them have lost, in their headlong pursuit of wealth, many of those intangible and priceless things that money cannot buy.I know a lot of such men. I have a great pity for them. On several occasions I have told them so. Of course, they never believe it, so gradual is the change in their fiber. Such a man is like the church member that Sam Jones, the old Southern revivalist (how I used to love to hear him talk), used to tell about. Sam said he dropped into a strange church one Sunday morning to attend services. It was a very high-toned church. He stood at the head of an aisle for some time. and no one noticed him. Then he tried another aisle. Same result. No one offered him a seaL IIe saw a tall, hatchet-faced man with an unctuous expression, in one of the back pews, and Sam touched him on the shoulder. Sam said he could tell by looking at the man that he had "his light hid under a bushel" as the Bible puts it. The man seemed exceedingly annoyed when Sam nudged him. Sam asked: "Whose church is this?" The man replied: "Christ's church." Sam meekly asked: "Is He in?"It made the man awful mad, but he got up and found Sam a seat. And when he got back to his own seat, he found that his light, which he had "hidden under a bushel," was out. And he blamed Sam for putting itout. But Sam said the fellow's light was out all the time, he just didn't know it.

That's the way *t,n,;" *"". They hide their light under a bushel, and don't even know when the light goes out, they are so busy getting the gravy.

"The Golden Theme of Hoo-Hoo"

"To light a lamp of hope in the home when the oil is low and the wick itself burns: to put a loaf where therc was but a crust; to put a flush on a pale cheek; to take away despair and put confidence in its stead, cannot, we believe, be done by the simple giving of alms !

"But when we know that the noblest, best thing we can do for a man is to turn him about and point him in the direction of using the talents he may HAVE-then do we approach the Golden Theme of Hoo-Hoo.

"If on every }foo-Hoo day each member of the Order could testify to the fact that during the past year he had been able to assist at least three deserving human beings to an opportunity to earn a living, then would rve touch that Golden Theme thread of Harmony, which means perpetuation away into the future, where the mists are, thereby developing our Theme into a Rope of Gold, anchoring HooHooism to that millenium time, 'when the hills and the clouds, the seas and the mountains echo back Health, FIappiness and Long Life, Peace and Good Will to all mankind.' "

-By Bolling Arthur Johnson, founder of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-'Hoo, taken from his address at the 33rd annual, held at Minneapolis in September 1924, his subject being "The Story of Hoo-Hoo."

For it would seeur thcrt only under the inspircrtion of Fcrith---cnrd lotE of it<cm we understcnd that we are etill "cll children in the kindergcrrten oI God."

And why the crgonized prcyers ol millions ol helpless people who hcrve in the pcrst yecrr been murdered, mutilated, or enslqved lor no crime other than thcrt of defending their homee cnrd their loved ones-were not crnswered? These, oI course, though nsturcrl ones, crre the sqme unqnswered questions that mcm, with lcltering Fqith, hcre been csking whenever bouble ccme, since time begcn.

But it is well to remember, while contemplcting the sinister conditions thct surround us, that mcnkind hcrs hcrd its troubles curd dcrk dcys even from the beginning; thcrt there hcs been no erc without its burden of sortow,'no time without its lathomlesE lcke ol tecrs.

There are a hundred such "Firtowns" in western Oregon and Washington.

LEO G. OPSAHL ON EASTERN TRIP

Leo G. Opsahl, sales manager of The Red River Lumber Company, Westwood; Calif., is now making a seasonal trip through the Middle West and Eastern states calling on the company's regional offices and the trade. He expects to return to Westlvood December 15.

F. A. (Pete) Toste, manager of the Los Angeles office of Rockport Redwood Company, paid a visit to his c'ompany's mill at Rockport, Calif., around the first of December.

Home Builders Store, Carlsbad, is remodeling the office, using a variety of building materials in the job.

Red River Has 45 Million Feet of Logs Declced at Mill for Winter Operations

With ten sides logging an average of one million six hundred thousand feet daily The Red River Lumber Company goes into December with more than 45 million feet of logs decked at the mill. This is the customary procedure at Westwood to assure mill and plant operation during the winter period of heavy snow. At favorable periods log deliveries have exceeded two million feet daily for two or three days in succession. Logging rvill be continued as long as weather permits. Two railroad spurs can be operated after the rains and snows have tied up the truck haul.

Three sides are trucking from Dyer Mountain, four sides from Moonlight Canyon and one from Almanor Dam. Trvo sides are railroading from Eagle Lake. The railroad to Moonlight is held in reserve.

The saw mill continues with three shifts on four bands and trvo resaws. The Plywood factory is carrying its cttstomary three shi{ts with a total of 50O employees. The Venetian blind slat department also runs three shifts on four moulders. The shipping department and moulding are each u'orking two shifts. The seasonal lull in box shook has reduced the box factory to one shift.

Dry kiln output has been stepped up to 7@ thousand feet daily from a holding capacity-of four million feet without reduction of drying and conditioning standards. Fuel is now on hand to carry full steam load for dry kilns, all plant departments and town service all winter.

October shipments were 575 cars. November, with fewer working days will fall below this total with the same daily average. Truck shipments in October totaled 800 thousand feet. A new truck loading shed is nearing completion. The first unit accommodates six trucks and extensions will be added as needed.

During the pressure o orders in September and October

The Red River Lumber Company was compelled to r,'i'ithdraw from the market. With production and shipping stepped up the order file is approaching normal. The number of items that can be sold is increasing and orders are being accepted for available stock.

The Glass Partition

By Jack Dionne

The keeper oI cnr cqucrium once tried qn experiment. He divided the cgucrium into two sections by putting in cr partition ol clear glcss. On one side oI the pcrrtition he put cr hecrlthy b<rss. On the other side he put <r lot ol minnows.

For dcys the bcrss mcde c rush every time a minnow ccme close to the glcss pcntitioru qnd ecrch time he succeeded only in bumping his hecd mighty hcrd. He wcs bull-headed, cnd kept crt it lor severql dcrys, trving in vain to grcrb one oI those elusive minnows. Finclly he scrw the light, cnd quit pcrying the slightest crttention to them.

Then the keeper brought his experirnent to cr hecd. He took the glcrss pcrtition out ol the <rqucrrium, lecrving no proteclion lor the minnows. And ihey crrtlessly swcrm all qround thcrt little pool, crnd qll qround the bcrss. But he never struck crt one oI them.

HE HAD BEEN COMPI.EIEIY SOI.D ON TTIE IDEA THAT HIS BUSI. NESS WAS BAD, AT I^EAST SO FAR AS TIIOSE MINNOWS WEBE CON. CENNED.

That's c good story lor sclesmen to remember.

And there's c morcrl lor scrlesmen there, too, which is-take another shot crt thct glcss trrcrtition.

M4YBE IT ISN'T THERE ANY MORE.

OI course, the bcrss wcs stcking his laith in cr good old human proverb, to wit, thct it is sale to iudge the luture by the pcst. But this, like mcny other well-worn proverbs, is lar lrom inlcrllible, as the bcss-<rnd the minnowsmight well hqve discovered.

And here's cr truth qbout selling things, the successful salesmcn is Irequently whct he is beccuse he reluses to trdmit c lot oI things thcl most people tcrke lor grcnted. A pctriot sqid once oI his ncrtion: "They crttempted the impossible, crnd succeeded in cccomplishing the unbeliev<rble."

Travelin' Light

I travel light at Christmas timeI drop my heavy load And just go singing merrily Adown the sunlit road; And every soul I chance to meet, A "Howd'y" has from me, No inhibitions hedge me round At Christmas time, you see.

I'm friendly now with everyoneMeat eater, Elk or Jew, I do believe if we should meet,' I'd risk a word with you; I pass no human brother by With scorn upon my brow, Our difierences of race and creed Seem not to matter now.

So all my envy, hate and spite, Intolerance, pride and greed, I cast aside at Christmas time, And find it sweet indeed, To sally forth without the load That weights me through the year, And chirp a "Merry Christmas, bo," Amid the yuletide cheer.

Now, this year when I throw aside That mass of superstition, And noted its moth eaten parts, Its size and composition, I vowed a vow that from this time, I'd leave it rvhere it lay, And free from its corroding blight, I'd walk the sunlit way.

I have no need to hide away Within dark walls of pride; What matter race and birth ancl creerl To one who walks-outside ? And so I left it where it lay, A sordid, outworn sight, And from this time, I'm telling you, I'm going to travel light.

AROUND THE CHRISTMAS BOARD

Ah, friends, dear friends, as years go on and heads get $raY, How fast the guests do go !

Touch hands, touch hands, with those that stay. Strong hands to weak, old hands to young, around the Christmas board, touch hands.

The false forget, the foe forgive, for every guest will go and every fire burn low and cabin empty stand.

Forget, forgive, for who may say that Christmas day may ever come to host or guest again !

Touch hands!

THE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Lawyer: "Then you admit that you struck the plaintiff with malice aforethought?"

Defendant (indignantly): "You can't mix me up like that. I've told you twice I hit him with a brick, and on purpose. There wasn't no mallets nor nothin' of the kind about itjust a plain brick like any gentleman would use."

STICKTOITIVENESS

The most common of all failures are those that fail to exert the final spurt, the sticking out to the finish. A salesman will make four calls on a prospect and then give up, when the fifth call would have meant an order. Life is constantly doing the unexpected. Success is a matter of margin-a minute perhaps; an inch; a word spoken or withheld.

THE REAL SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

"Oh ! merry piping time of Christmas ! Never let us permit thee to degenerate into distant courtesies and formal salutations. But let us shake our friends and familiars by the hand, as our fathers and their fathers did. Let them all come around us, and let us count how many the year has added to our circle. Let us enjoy the present, and laugh at the past. Let us tell old stories and invent new onesinnocent always, and ingenious if we can. Let us not meet to abuse the world, but to make it better by our individuat example. Let us be patriots, but not men of party. Let us look to the time-cheerful and generous, and endeavor to make others as generous and cheerful as ourselves.

-Charles Lamb.

ARITHMETIC

He was teaching her arithmetic, He said that was his missionHe kissed her once, he kissed her twice, and said, now that's addition.

He kissed her and she kissed him, in silent satisfaction-then Quickly took the kisses back, and said, now that's subtraction.

Then she kissed him and he kissed her, without much hesitationThen both looked up and smiling, said, now that is multiplication.

Then dad appeared upon the scene, and made a quick decision;

He kicked the lad three blocks away, and said: THAT'S Long Division.

RESEARCH

She (coyly:) You bad boy. Don't you kiss me again ! He: I won't. f'm just trying to find out who has the gin in this party.

A TRUE MEASURE

Life is the acceptance of responsibilities or their evasion; it is a business of meeting obligations or avoiding them. To every man the choice is continually being offered, and by the manner of his choosing you may fairly measure him.

The career of the Hollywood Lumber Company has been so out of the ordinary that it perhaps deserves a place among the archives of the industry.

It was in the spring of 19O3 that the writer and Joe Ganahl set out from Los Angeles, via horse and buggy, tcr Hollywood, then a separate town corporation, to endeavor to buy a site for a lumber yard. Both the Ganahl Lumber Company and the Montgomery & Mullin Company were operating supply yards at Redondo, and it was thought that Hollywood was too small to support two yards, so we decided to start a yard, under joint ownership of the trvo companies.

We had been advised that Hollywood rvas too esthetic a community to tolerate a lumber yard in its corporate imits, but we wanted a l,ocation as near as could be obtained. We called on Mr. Goodwin who 'lr'as the only real estate man then in Hollywood, with his office on the corner of Cahuenga and Hollywood Boulevard, where the Security-First National Bank is now located. NIr. Goocll'in showed us the plot of ground on Santa Monica Boulevard and Seward Street, then known as Colegrove, with frontage of 190 feet on Santa Monica and running bacl< 600 feet to Lexington, covering nearly three acres, which could be purchased for $3000.

We closed the deal and incorporate.d a company rvith J. F. Mullin as president, and Eugene Ganahl, secretary. The business was started with J. N. Fisher, an experienced lumberman, as manager.

After operating about trvo years in this ma.nner, the

Ganahl Company sold their interest to the Montgomery & Mullin Company, and the yard was operated as a branch yard until about the year 1916, when the company dissolved. We had sold most of our yards to Patten-Blinn Lumber Company, but I took over the Hollywood yard. I persuaded Mr. Mullin to take a $5000 interest, and the Itullin family still retain a one-sixth interest.

I became the president, and Ward Montgomery secretary. Don Mahafiey, who succeeded J. N. Fisher on his death, was manager, which position he held u,ntil he was elected to the office of County Supervisor.

When we first started the yard, Herbert Scholield was operating a small planing mill in another location, and in order to have it near by we sold him the North end of the property, l25xI9O feet facing on Lexington, for $650. He has been so fortunate as still to, retain ownership of the property and share in the "tlnearned increment."

Not long after the yard was first opened we rvere dismayed to find that Ira Nofziger, rvho had been a competitorat Ocea,n Park, had disregarded the 'ivishes of the community, and located a lumber yard in the center of Hollywood, on Hollywood Boulevard near Whitley Avenrle. Ira seemecl to have a proclivity to locate in prominent places. Old timers will remember that he once had a small yard on Main Street near Sixth across from the Pacific Electric. However, later on something happened to him and he withdrew from the lumber game and took up ranching near Glendale.

He disposed of the yard to Pie & Patterson, rvho in turn

Port Orford Cedar

sold it to Orville Routt. During the process it took the name of "Pioneer Lumber Company," which u'as a misnomer as far as the Hollywood Lumber Company was concerned. Mr. Routt afterward moved the yard to a location on Cosmos Street near Hollywood Boulevard where he operated it until it was taken over by the Hollywood Lumber Company.

The Hollywood Lumber Company shared in the growth of Hollywood and enjoyed the confidence of the public which gave it their patronage. Like other yards it had its "ups and downs," depending on general trade conditions. Our sales ran f'rom a low of $3000 per month during the \Morld War, to a high of $30,000, in which year the yard showed a net profit of $3O000, and the capital stock u'as increased to $50,000.

About the year 1928, Mr. Routt offered to sell us the Cosmos Street yard and actuated, perhaps, by the desire to regain the title of being the "'pioneer" yard, we took it over and organized a new company under the name of "Hollyw,ood Pioneer Lumber Company" to operate both yards, with the Hollywood Lumber Comp'any retaining ownership of the real estate.

This turned out to be an unfortunate investment. Perhaps the old Hollywood Lumber Company resented the intrusion of its rival, but with the slump in business, increased overhead, and other factors, the business showed a loss, and it was decided to close the Cosmos Street yard, and later to discontinue the Santa Monica Boulevard yard, as the ground had grown too valuable for a lumber yard site.

We gave up the Hollywood Pioneer franchise and again operated under the name of the Hollywood Lumber Company, and business immediately started on the up-grade. Incidentally, Mr. Routt had kept a $5000 interest in the lumber company, and I had taken the same amount in his wallboard concern. But as both investments turned out to be equally unfortunate; rve exchanged same and continued good friends.

We secured good tenants on long leases and erected buildings for their use. First the Railway Express office and warehouse, then the Good Humor Ice Cream Company and garage, and Averill Morgan Cleaning and Dyeing Company. Not long since we built a fine cafe building for the Go,od Humor Ice Cream Company and sold them all the remaining frontage so that the ground is fully occupied.

During the ten years of tenancy to date I estimate that we have collected nearly $250,000 in rentals, have paid off bank loans, paid ZO/o per year divide,nds to stockholders, and assets which started at $25,00O now shorv about $150,000. Not a bad showing for a small lumber concern. We have seen no v/ay to profitably give up our franchise and so will probably continue to function for some time as the Hollywood Lumber Compa.ny.

The erection ,of five business structures. and two residences in Hollywood, together with the fact that the writer has crossed the ocean over forty times, would indicate that he has n,ot been entirely idle since his retirement from active service in the lumber business, twenty years ago.

Johns-Manville Announces New Series of Housing Guild Schools

A series of six trainirg courses, designed primarily for executives of retail building material companies, will be conducted by the Housing Guild Division o{ Johns-Manville in 1940,itis announced by A. A. Hood, manager.

The first school in the new series will be held at'Houston, Tex., January 22-7J inclusiv e. Others will follow at Chicago, February 3l0; Atlantic City, February 12-17; Kansas City, February 26March 2; Santa Monica, March 11-16; Atlanta, March 25-n.

"The emphasis in next year's schools will be on management," Mr. Hood said. "Training salesmen is highly important but in itself is not enough. The Housing Guild is a system for operating a retail building material business-not merely a method of selling. To operate successfully and deliver the full benefits of which it is capable, its aims and methods must be understood by and actively supported by the key executives of the company."

A special course for consumer salesmen will run ioncurrently with the executive course as in the past, Mr. Hood said. Executives and salesmen will meet as a group during the rnorning sessions-during the afternoon salesmen will take a special course in consumer selling rvhile the executives study the intimate problems of management in the merchandising of complete "packages" in the new home, home improvement, commercial a.nd farm narkets'

Mr. Hood will be in charge of each school. P. A' Andrews, vice-president in charge of building material sales, L. C. Hart, general sales manager, and L.M' Cassicly, general merchandise manager, will take an active part.

Use of the Guild system for estimating nerv homes and home improvements will be taught by D. L. Pomerantz and H. L. Lotz. Mr. Pomerantz will also lecture on certain phases of management. Consumer financing rvill be conducted by J. L. Wood, general credit manager and L. H. Morgan, manager of J-M's deferred payment department. Development of practical advertising and sales promotion plans to help sell new home and home improvement "packages" will be directed by H. M. Shackelford, vicepresident in charge of sales promotion, assisted by R' L. Johnson, assistant sales promotion manager, A. D. Lierman, specializing in Guild promotion and H. D. Bates, publicity director. Special instruction in selling the farm market will be given by J. F. Schafthausen, J-M agricultural engineer.

..HAYE JUST SHIPTIENTS PUR(HASED TWO OF PLYS(ORD TO ANTICIPATE INCREASINGDEMAND"

Commercial drilling for oil in California goes back in history fifty years or more. It is an interesting span of years-one packed with all the.drama Edna Ferber captured in her story of the Cimarron country and more-and one in which California's "black gold" added greatly to America's wealth and contributed mightily to her industrial development. In that period of time, also, great strides have been made in the mechanics of drilling fbr oil, as well as the technique of refi,ning it. The photographs accompanying this article give striking evidence of the role Douglas fir wood-"the basic material of timber engineering"-has played in this half-century of progress.

Classed as an old well but recent enough to use a standard wood derrick is the Murphy Well No. 25, shown in the illustration to the left and located intheLa Habra, California oil field. This is perhaps the outstanding u'ell drilled and owned by the Standard Oil Company of California. It has been operating continuously since 1915; and, duri,ng this period, has producecl well over five million barrels of oil. For a considerable period, it florved 10,000 barrels a day.It stands on natural, untreated, Douglas fir timbers, as shown in the accompanying close-up.

This derrick has had relatively no maintenance but rvas strengthe,ned to provide for deeper drilling ten vears or

more ago. This strenghtening was accomplished by rneaus of. 6x6 Douglas fir timbers in the corner of each leg. That the all-Douglas-fir derrick is straight as a die is evidenced by the vierv, taken from the ground looking up.

Another reason for particular interest in Murphy \Arell No. 25 is the modern Douglas fir laminated walking beam, shown extending from the derrick lower left, rvhich l>eam was built early in 1936 and has been in constant use since that time. The walking beam uses both horizontal anrl vertical laminations, with 2ft-inch TECO split ring connectors placed internally to develop resistance to horizorrtal shear. This walking beam was designed to overcome the deficiencies of solicl beams, viz., splitting and cl-recking, which sometimes affect the entire cross-section.

Along with the fifty-year-old derrick of Douglas fir rn'hich stands today in the heart of a Los Angeles resiclential district, near Beverly and Glendale Boulevards, and another timber veteran which is located right in the middle of La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, this Murphy derrick evidences the fine structural value of Douglas fir and stands as constant proof ofits durability and adaptabilitv ttnder severe service cor.rclitions.
