Three-\(/ay Forest Management

woterghed

This is to tell more on 'ivhat is being done about forestry on the West Coast.

The'rvater supply of Seattle depends on a forested rvatershed of 91,000 acres. T'iventy-five years ago a management plan representing the three types of orvnership on the area '$'as set up. Today the record of the plan stands as a pattern of successful cooperation of forest industry ancl governrnent in productive conservation-that is, in conservation of natural resources rvith wise use.

The orvners of the l'atershed are the City of Seattle, tu'o forest industry companies and the federal governmeut. The plan is to harvest the old-growth Douglas fir, Wcst Coast hemlock, Western red cedar, Noble and white firs, an<l other species for "sustained yield." The sustained harvest on the watershed's billioff board feet of old-grorvth sa.ivtimber is set at 35 million feet per year. Last year only 22 million feet 'ivere logged.

Does logging endanger the purity of the city's water? Experts from all over the rvorld have looked into the question and say, "No." During the rvar, for example, Seattle water was carried to the South Pacific in tankers to supply the batteries of the fighting ships-a use that requires water of highest purity.

Nor has logging impaired the ability of the forest soil on the rvatershed to retain snorv melt and rainfall for slow runoff. The public is kept out of the watershed' Forest fires are ferv. With seed trees left by the loggers in adequate number and scientifically located, natural reforestation on harvested lands has been rapid and dense in growth.

This r.vatershed is but one of 200 and more on the 26,000,000 acres of commercially available forest land in the Douglas fir region. On all the picture of industrial forest nlanagement is inspiring.

The late Senator lo""p]r, ;.;"" Bailey said the same thing once in'even more eloquent fashion, when in agreeing with Lincoln that if this nation ever dies it will be from within and not from without. he said: "If this nation ever dies, there will be no resurrection morn; there rvill be no guardian angel to roll away the rock from our sepulchre door; there will be no Easter morn for this Republic."

The words in the ,r* ;*;raph above are from a speech made recently by James F. Byrnes. He was addressing a convention of the Governors of the Southern states at Biloxi, Mississippi, and what he said there, and what we shall reprint in part here, should cause every loyal and thinking American to stop right in his tracks and take stock of our situation. ***

Mr. Byrnes is one of our most distinguished citizens. A native North Carlolinian, he has held high office in this land. As Secretary of State, as United States Senator, as Supreme Court Justice, and as "Assistant President" to Franklin Roosevelt, he showed himself to be a man of high stature, as well as a citizen of great worth. A Democrat of the purest ray serene, he faced the gathering of Southern Governors, and warned them-and all of usof what he deems to be our national peril.

Feeling that all th" th;gl ttl"t *"a. America what it is today-initiative, self-reliance, imagination, determination, daring to take chances, willingness to sacrifice for the good of this dear land-are being traded away from us for the mess of pottage called "security," this great Carolinian spoke his mind in no uncertain terms. And what he said will therefore be repeated in part, throughout the space usually reserved for our own thoughts and words, because we believe that it is our duty to carry his words to as many eyes and minds as possible, in order that thc dangers of which he warns us, may be possibly averted"

Said Mr. Byrnesr

* * *

"This week it was stated in Europe that our first line of defense is the River Elbe. I DISAGREE. Our first line of defense is NOT the Elbe or the Rhine. IT IS A SOUND AND SOLVENT AMERICAN ECONOMY. And that economy is now threatened.

"The people who settled this country did not come here to establish a government. They were seeking libertyNOT security. They rvere seeking an opportunity to enjoy freedom, the freedom of being let alone. They believed that every human being possessed inalienable rights by the grace of God and NOT by the grant of any government. To secure these rights, the people were willing to endure hardships, and, if necessary, sacrifice their lives.

*t<:F

"It is not surprising that when their numbers increased and it became necessary to establish some form of government, they grudgingly yielded powers-even to local governments. They realized that if an individual lost his freedom. to him it was not material whether it was taken from him by an individual despot or by a temporary majority. History had shown that at times despots were beneficient, but mobs were always cruel.

"But today i" .r,otrr.r l"j. ln. "pirit of self-reliance that animated the early settlers for more than a century, inspired our people to exercise their initiative and develop this country, while preserving their independence, IS UN. FORTUNATELY DEPARTING FROM THE PEOPLE. Too many people are asking the federal government to perform the functions of state governments. Too many people want to lean on the government, forgetting that the government must lean upon the people. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE THINKING OF SECURITY INSTEAD OF OPPORTUNITY. THEY SEEM MORE AFRAID OF LIFE THAN OF DEATH.

"We are engaged in a cold rvar with the Soviet republic. It is a clash between two ideologies-our system of free enterprise, and Russia's Communism. You cannot convince people who are inclined to Communism of the superiority of our system of free enterprise merely by talking of a high standard of living. In this world THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE INTERESTED IN LIBERTY THAN IN LUXURIES.

"We must emphasize ,;;.J"* of the individual who by his initiative has made America prosperous. And we cannot very well boast of our freedom under the American system if we are going to change that system, and force the people to surrender more liberties to a centralized government. When we see the states of western Europe and Great Britain, which have embraced socialism, unable to stand on their own feet and the very existence of their governments dependent upon the taxpayers of the United

of the West. On December 3, 1849, Andrew J. Pope and Frederic Talbot set up business in San Francisco to engage in lumber and trading. Four years later, the first sawmill was producing lumber at Port Gamble, Washington. In rapid succession, timber holdings were acquired, other mills built and soon a fleet of ships were carrying Pope & Talbot lumber to ports of the Seven Seas. In the span of 100 years, Pope & Talbot have been progressively identified with the growth and development of the West Coast.

Today, direct descendants of the original founders, actively manage the firm of Pope & Talbot, Inc., which comprises vast timber holdings, three large sawmills-a creosoting plant and a fleet of modern cargo vessels with customers throughout the world. Participating in our progress are 2228 co$Terksrs-rnen and women of experience, initiative and ability-enabling us to produce Douglas Fir lumber that is properly milled, properly graded and properly handled. we look forward with confidence to another century of growth and progress,

"We would not have an over-expanding government if the people were conscious of the taxes they are paying to the federal government. WHEN THE, GOVERNMENT REQUIRED EMPLOYERS TO WITHHOLD INCOME TAXES FROM EMPLOYEES, THE GOVERNMENT PUT THE WORKER TO SLEEP. Ask any wage earner the amount of the wage he earns and he will tell you the amount he receives in his envelope or pay check, and not the amount his employer actually pays for his services before taxes are deducted by the federal government.

Without adopting any of the various new programs urged by those in power it is conservatively estimated that during the fiscal year which will end June 30, 1950, we will spend $S biUion to $7 billion more than our income.

"To justify spending more than our income, some persons speak of what the government is doing for the 'little fellow.' Let me show you what the federal government is doing TO the little fellow. THE U. S. GOVERNMENT IS MAKING THE SMALL MAN SMALLER EVERY DAY. If the 'little fellow' sends a message by telephone or telegraph, he pays a tax. If he travels by railroad or bus, he pays a tax. If he buys an automobile, the sale price includes a tax. When he buys gasoline or oil, he pays a tax. If he buys cigarettes, he pays a tax" If he goes to a football or baseball game, he pays a tax' If his wife buys a pocketbook, or cosmetics, she pays a tax, and if his children go to a*movie, they pay a tax.

"The average working man must work 47 days a year to earn the money necessary to pay his taxes to the fed' eral government. That is almost one day out of every rveek. If the new programs now seriously proposed should be adopted he will hav to pay in taxes the equivalent of his wages for an additional 20 days, making 67' days he will work each year for the government instead of for himself and his family. THAT IS WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO THE LITTLE: FELLow'

"If the spenders really want to help the little fellow they should allow him to keep more of the money he gets for his labor, to spend as HE pleases, instead of having it taken from him and sent to Washington to let BureaucTAts SPEND AS THEY THINK IT SHOULD PLEASE HrM'***

The Year of Conversion

By Jack F. Pomeroy, Executive Vice President Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California

1949 u'as a )'ear of conversion for many of Northern California's retail lumber and building materials distributors. Conversion in many \\rays: from a period of easy sales to rugged competitivc c,rnditions; from a period of satisfactory profits to one u,here a determined effort rvas needecl to stay on the profit sicle of the ledger; a period for their vendors and thenrselves of conversion from a sellers market rvhere availability of material u'as the determination of sales to a buyers market rvhere service. pricc and that illusive son.rethir.rg called salesmanship ruled; to a period *'herc merchandising and salesmanship are king.

1949 was a year of fluctuations. As items came off the shortage list many of them slipped over into the temporary "surplus" column. The period of supply adjustment was painful in many instances. Prices dipped and srvung 'ivildly. In some instances this 'ivas due to the inflated levels of the commodities; in others it resulted from a u'ilcl l-rysteria developed 'ivhen everyone along the distributiorr line found hirnself encumbered u'ith a high priced inventorv in a period of falling prices rvithout an aggressive selling program to move it. Items changed from the shortage category, to surplus then back to "temporary" shortage. As the year ends most commodities are in fair "supplv and demand" belance.

1949 rvas the year rvhen the careless habits accumulatecl ir-r eight r'var and post rvar years were first looked at 'rvith some tolerance, then critically and finally attackecl rvith

vigor. The retail lumber and building materials industry is moving into 1950 a slimmer, cleaner, rnore aggrcssive, more contributory, and a better segment of our national economic life. These changes were occurring, surprisingly cnough, rvhile the general unit volume of business wAs holding very near the record 1948 level. Flow of business t'as not coml>arable to the evenness of that in 1948. Each area had its fluctuations during the year. One area rvottlcl be booming t'hile anotirer a comparatively short distance a\\'ay was in a minor slump. A short time later the situations rvould be reversed. Even yards in the same tolvn 'rvould be at opposite ends of the pendulum srving at the same time. A11 in all 1949 was a year in rvhich the retail anrl building materials industry u'as stripping rvaste, itrefficiency, and order taking and preparing for action in a normal competitive market.

i950 promises a continuation of the reign of salesmanship and merchandising. Unit volume of business in the first half of the 1'ear should be good through the momentum carry over from this fall. Thereafter a uumber of present indeterminates rvill divide the general picturc irr Northern California:

A certain man who was quite a sentimentalist, married. In a year or so his wife died. He took her favorite hat and put it up on a shelf in the closet of his bedroom, to remain there as a memento.

fn a year or so he married again. So he took his new wife to the closet, showed her the hat, explained the situation, said that he'd like to leave it there if she would agree. She said it was okay, so his first wife's hat stayed.

But his second wife also died. And he placed her favorite hat on the shelf beside the hat of his first wife. Then he married again. Again, on his wedding day, he took his third wife to the closet and showed her the two hats,

Then his third wife died, and again he placed her favorite hat on the closet shelf along with those of his first two wives. Then he married again. And again he took his wife, his fourth, to the closet, showed her the three hats, explained the matter, and asked her permission to leave them there. She said:

"All right. I understand fully. They can stay right there. But I want to tell you one thing right now, and that's for sure-THE FOURTH HAT ON THAT SHELF IS GOING TO BE A DERBY !''

Construction Outlook For 1950

Total value of 'new construction to be put in place in 1950 is expected to equal the 1949 record of more than $19 billion.

According to a joint estimate of the Office of Domestic Commerce, U. S. Department of Commerce, and the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau'of Labor Statistics, private construction outlays probably r,vill drop about $925 million from the total for this year, but indications are that public expenclitures for ner,v' constructiorr t'ill increase l>y a like amount.

The number of rvorkers employed by construction contractors during the peak month will be about the same. in 1950 as in 1949, around 2,400,C(],0. Somervhat more thau a fourth of the construction rvorkers rvill be employed on residential building at its peak next year, compared n'ith a third this year. Public construction rvill claim a third of the t'orkers at the height of the 1950 program, compared u'ith a fourth in 1949.

The total value of private construction to be put in place in 1950 probably will be about $13.1 billion, nearly 7 percent less than the anticipated total lor 7949. It now appears that the 7919 total for private construction will be above $14 billion, exceeding earlier expectations primarily as a result of the record volnme of housing.construction during the last half of this year.

A slackening of the recent unpreiedented pace in nerv homebuilding is foreseen for 1950. Nearly a million nerv nonfarm du'elling units have been started in 1949 by the close of the year, shattering all previous records. Indications are, hon ever, that with the higher priced market nearly saturated and costs not likely to decline materially, 1950 u'ill be only one of the better years in homebuilding, rvith about 900,000 units started. This is less than in the previous peak year, 7925 (937,O0O), and less than in 1948 (931,300) and 1949. Private housing in 1950 rvill account for around 830,000 units, compared n'ith ncarll' 960,000 this year-the all-time high-and 913,500 in 1948. From 60,000 to 80,000 new units are expected to be started next year under the provisions of the Housing Act of 1949.

The outlook is for a decrease in i950 in tlost types of private nonresidential building, except for commercial buildings, n'hich may increase slightly as a result of pressure for shopping facilities to serve netv residential areas. A substantial increase in l-rospital and institutional building is assurecl r-rnder the National Hospital Progranr.

Construction of ne'iv industrial plants ancl {acilities is cxpected to drop about 26 percent uext year, continuing the do*'ntrend that has been so marked during 1949, as immecliate post\var expansion plans l'ere completed. The

Where Wood lrom DECAY TERMITES

Here's the right answer to wood decay and termite problems-WOTMANIZED PressureTreated Lumber. It means better buildings {or your customers, and additional, profitable business lor you.

Penetrating preservative solutions are lorced by vacuum-pressure treatment, deeply into the wood fibres oI WOLIvIANIZED Lumber, to provide lasting protection under common conditions such as these:

l. Where excesgive ground noisture, rain or thaws cause early decay lailures.

2. Where wood near the ground is open to termite attacks.

3. Where wood is in contact with damp concrete or masonry.

4. Where steam and water vapor lrom itdustrial processes pronote wood decay.

5, Where walls, Iloors, ceiliugs are subject lo condensalion Iron relrigeration.

6. Where wood is erpoaed to moisture in artificially hunidilied buildings.

Investigations by qualified technologists prove that on installations where water, moisture, quick condensation and termites ordinarily shorten lumber lile, WOLMANIffD Pressure-Treated Lumber lasts THREE TO FIVE TIMES TONGER than untreated wood, And, only WOTMAMZED Luriber is clean, odorless, paintable, non-corrosive to metal, nonleaching and glueable.

volume of nerv churches, social and recreational facilities, ar-rd other types of private nonresiclential buildings is expected to be somewhat lotvei next vear.

Farm construction probably 'rtill continue to ease off, follorving the trend of farm income. Revised data to be available next year are expected to place the total volume of farm construction substantially higher than currently publislred estimates for the years 1946 through 1950, but they rvill not alter the dorvntrend for next year.

The principal privately-orvned public utilities probably n'ill carry on a lower volume of new construction in 1950 than this year, except for gas companies, tvhich may increase their construction outlays.

The total value of all tvpes of public construction put in place in 1950 is expected to exceed $6.1 billion, an increase of nearly 18 percent over the probable $5.2 billion total ior 1949. Expenditures in every category of public construction probably will be larger next year, except for militarl' and naval facilities.

-{ctivities under the Housing Act ol 1919 may result in an increase of about 80 percent in expenditures for public residential building next year. The outlook is for a larger volirme of ner,v schools, hospitals, ancl public administration buildings, producing about a 1.1 percent increase in yrublic nonresidential building.

New improved cane fibre buildins, decoroting and insulating items now available

Assuring an ample supply f rom conveniently located distribution points, The Flintkote Company recentll' announced the appointment of Western Hardlr''ood Lumber Company as wholesale distributors for its popular and versatile line of Cane Fibre Insulation Board Products.

Culminating many months of planning, Western Hardrvood Lumber Con'rpany is now receiving regular shipments of the nerv and improved insulation products from tlre lruge 2S-acre Flintkote plant at Hilo, Hawaii.

Western llardrvood Lumber Company was established in 1906 and since that time has conducted wholesale operation and distribution of hardwood lumber, hardu'ood flooring, plywoods, doors and kindred lines' The firm is headed by Frank J. Connolly, president. Other offrcers include J. Glennon Cahill, Sterling L. Stofle and George Ii, Ream.

\\restern Hard'ivood I-umber Company is located at 2014 East 15th Street in Los Angeles, covering six and a half acres u'ith complete tl'arehousing facilities' The second location, on Terminal Island at Los Angeles Harbor, covers another six acres rvith three large modern warehottses, each l00 feet rvide and 300 feet long. The {irm utilizes the latest type of modern mechanical equipment for the rapid handling of Flintkote Insulation Board products from rvarehouse to truck or freight car for distribution to the dealer trade.

Western Harcls'oo<l l-umber Company has ten salesmen

CO.,

stocked by Western Hardwood Lumber Company-includes Building Board, Thriftex Wallboard, Insulation Lath, Asphalt Coated Sheathing, Roof Insulation and Insulation Tile and Plank. The latter is illustrated on the cover of this issue in the popular Decoblend color (Insulation Plank for walls) and Ivory White (Insulation Tile for ceilings).

These products are made from the tough sinews of sugar cane stalks and the improved manufacturing and processing facilities recently developed assure a uniform material with maximum structural strength. The base of the product is a raw matbrial known as bagasse fibre, which is a residual material resulting from the removal of cane juice from sugar cane stalks grown on thousands of acres adjacent to the Flintkote plant at Hilo. The cane is cut in the fields with modern harvesting equipment. It is carried from he fields by truck to sugar mills where the cane passes through water cleaning showers to remove foreign matter. Giant presses de-juice the cane stalks and the clean bagasse emerges in a shredded form similar to pulp fibre. The bagasse is carried on conveyors to large pressure vessels where it is softened under steam. and chemically treated in preparation for refining. The-refining process takes place in a battery of motor driven, modern pulping units where the softened fibre is passed be-

tween high speed discs with special surfaces to reduce the size of the bagasse fibres rvithout degrading it. After passing through this care{ully controlled process it is pumped to a large forming cylinder where a sheet thirteen feet wide is formed. The forming machine is designed to distribute the fibres evenly, insuring overall uniformity. The sheet now passes through controlled pressing units where water is removed without injuring the cellular structure of the fibre. In the next operation a tunnel type dryer 400 feet long removes the remaining moisture by heat. This drying stage is extremely important in preserving the natural qualities of the material.

The finishing processes are accomplished rvith modern, accurately controlled sawing equipment rvhich converts the large pieces into building board, tile, plank and the other various types of structural insulation.

Both a research and control laboratory are maintained by the Flintkote Company at its Hilo plant, the former to conduct experiments with new products as rvell as for consideration of modern insulating, decorating and building problems. The control laboratory periodically checks raw materials and production quality. Rigid inspection from the rarv bagasse to the final finished and packaged product insures uniform quality commensurate rvith the most exacting requirements.

A description of the varied Flintkote line of cane-fibre insulation products, their specific sizes, thickness and colors includes:

BUILDING BOARD-An economical building material particularly suited for modern dry wall construction, in Ivory White or natural finish. Availablc in thicknesses ol tl", 3/4" and. 1". Panels four feet rvide, lengths ol 6,7, 8.9. 10 and 12 feet.

INSULATiON LATH-A superior plaster base material with the improved joint reinforcement. In addition to its high insulation qualities it provides rapid coverage and ease of handling. Manufactured in size 18" x 4{'. Available in thicknesses ol %" and 3f".

ROOF INSULATION BOARD-Used as a base for waterproof roof covering. Over wood, concrete, gypsum or steel decks it provides temperature control for areas belorv and acts as an excellent foundation for built-up roof areas.

\(/hat's Ahead For 1950?

Bv H. V. Simpson, Executive Yice President \Uest Coast Lumbermen's Association

"What's ahead for lumber next year?" That's the question which n early eve ry manufacturer, rvholesaler and retail lumberman is asking as 1949 drarvs to a close.

Here on the West Coast we l.rave experienced unprecedented peacetime demand for the last three year,s. In 1948 our outPut of 9.4 billion feet rvas the largest since 1929. The cut for 1949 will be almost as large. Our order file for 1949 is still ahead of production by some 100 million feet.

We all know what has caused this record demand for lumber. In the last 24 months the nation has built 1,900,000 new homes. Industrial building has been high. Schools and churches and commercial structures have been built by the tens of tl.rousands to take care of expanding population needs. This year more homes will be built thar-r last year's record 930,000. Not since 1925 has there been such an upsurge in home and school construction.

The big question today is how long can this boom housing demand last. The government estimates we rvill build some 850,@0 nerv homes in 1950. Already the plans for school construction for 1950 are huge to care for the war crop of babies now coming of school age. But last year the government estimates on new home starts were far belorv the actual number of homes which got under way, norv believed to be close to one million for 1949. Will they be off, safely lo'iv on the.conservative side for 1950?

Probably the soundest method of evaluating the potential lumber market is to consider the long-haul picture, rather than the single year of 1950. We should evaluate market needs in terms of known factors.

Let's take a look at just one phase of the potential future demand for lumber-the housing market.

There are 34,248,000 ds'ellings in the nation of a nonfarm class. This includes apartment units as well as single homes. For a moment rve should look at these 34 million dwelling units. At least 5,600,000 of them are in need of repair and remodeling to make them conform to minimum healthy living requirements.

In the next ten years at least 520,000 of these dwelling units will be demolished l>y fire, flood, disaster or from other cattse. Betrveen nor,v and 1960 another 1,500,000 will become unusable because of deterioration, poor care and general misuse and old age.

Still another 2 to 3 million farm d'n'ellings will have to be repaired, modernized or enlarged to meet increasing family needs.

During the r.rext decade 6,300,000 neu' homes will have to be built to house the expanding population and to take care of that number of new families 'rvhich rvill form. That means an average of 630,000 homes a Year to take care of minimum nerv family needs alone.

In vie'iv oI these facts, the government's estimate of 850,000 neu' homes next year should not be far wrong. From tl.re standpoint of the lumber industry the backlog of 630,000 neu, homes a year for the next decade to care for population increase only is most encouraging. Whether or not those nerv homes are built in that volume will depend to a great extent on the general prosperity of the nation, our ability to maintain high employment and high income. A glance at the pitiable ferv homes built in the 1930's, with the all time low year of 1933 rvhen only 93,000 new homes were built in the entire nation demonstrates the close tie-in betw'een the light construction industry and general prosperity of our peoPle.

Factors beyond our control in the lumber manufacturing business rvill largely determine rvhether the above goals will be ieached, and will determine as u'ell the volume of consumption of lumber for industrial and commercial uses. There are factors which we do control rvhich are important

One Sign He Believed In

"Shame on you !" stormed the judge to the colored man who was asking for a quick divorce. "You come into this court and state that, because you believe in signs, you want to stay away from your home and get a. divorce from your wife. I repeat, shame on you ! A man in these times should not let superstition break up his home !"

"Jedge," said the plaintiff, "taint superstition Ah's afeared of, but Ah do believe in signs. Fo' de las' three nights, after Ah'd gone t'bed, Ah could heah dat 'oman honin Mah favrit razah."

Grit

Supposin' fish don't bite at first, What are you goin' to do?

Throw down your pole, shuck out your bait, An' say yer fishing's through?

You bet you ain't, you're goin' to fish, An'fish, an' fish, an'wait, Until you've ketched a basketful, Or else run out of bait.

Suppose yer luck don't come at first, What are you goin' to do?

Throw up the sponge an' kick yerself, An growl, an' fret, an' stew?

You bet you won't; yer goin to fish An' bait, an' bait agin',

Until fish luck takes hold yer hook, Fer grit is sure to win.

The Good Old Dcys

President Grover Cleveland, about to make a speech at the University of Virginia, was introduced by the famous Fitzhugh Lee, who said:

"Mr. President, we are honored in welcoming you to Virginia today, both as a loyal Democrat, and as President of the United States. 'Tis a long time since we have had a President with us. But the time was, Mr. President, when all we had to do was go out on this portico and holler 'Mister President'. and the woods would be full of them."

Dreams

Dreams are an escape from yourself. They are a kind of carpet on which one steps and rides away from his wounds and his mediocrity. And they are more: As far as you can dream, so far can you one day go, for dreams are the lovely plans of the unknown reaching toward us to be fulfilled. They are the multi-colored promise of that which can come to pass.

What is a flower but the completed vision of a quiet

little seed, dreaming in the dust? What are these terraced buildings all about us like strong hands lifted toward the sky in grave salute, but the dreams of men, come true? What are the stars, and beyond more stars too far for us to see-all the mystery and movement of the universebut the reveries of God expressed in form? When one no longer dreams of the beauty that could be, he has begun to die.

THE BOY

By Edgar Guest

A possible man of affairs, A possible leader of men, Back of the grin that he wears, There may be the courage of ten; Lawyer or merchant or priest, Artist or singer of joy, This, when his strength is increased, fs what may become of your boy.

Heedless and mischievous now, Spending his boyhood in play, Yet glory may rest on his brow, And fame may exalt him some day. A skill that the world shall admire, Strength that the world may employ, And faith that shall burn as a fire, Are what may be found in your boy.

He with the freckles and tan, He with the fun-loving grin, May rise to great heights as a man, And many a battle may win. Back of the slang of the streets, And back of the love of a toy, May be a great spirit that beats, Lincoln once played as a boy.

Trace them all back to their youth, All the great heroes we sing, Seeking and serving the Truth, President, poet, and king. Washington, Caesar, and Paul, Homer, who sang about Troy, Jesus, the greatest of all, Each in his time was a boy.

It's The Truth

A well known writer says that the world's greatest stories have just been collected and published. That's wrong. The world's best stories have been collected, all right, but they'll never be published.

\(/hat's Ahead For 1950?

(Cotrtinuecl from Pagc 30) to the long-range problem of lurnber supply.

Progressive steps have been taken here inthe West Coast region in the last decade to insure a permanent supply of timber. We have the capacity in sawmill installation to manufacture the volume of the last three years forever. Nlore in.rportant, lve have the timber resources and the timber grou,ing land to uraintain this 'i'olume of lumber perpetually.

PADUA

Nfore than 3 million acres of the Dougias fir region have been dedicated as Tree Farurs since 1941. More areas are being made ready for certification. These lands are maintained by their owners in full production of timber, they are protected from fire, disease and insects. ar-rd souncl forest management policies are applied to harvesting techniques so that lands come back into production and grolvth 'ivith a minimum of lost time. Improved utilization of the forests has stepped up the realization of lumber from everv :lcre.

Backing up this program of forestry u'hich is aimed at supplying our mills with sufficient ra\\' rnaterial to keep them operating at capacity, is a nen' and aggressive policy of merchandising and advertising of our products.

We are becoming more and more promotion minded. \A/e have developed a program to help dealers sell lumber. We have a national advertising program, norv in its fourth year, aimed at the consumer. In this program lve urge the rvider use of lumber for every job pointing out its superiority over any substitute. \\'e ask the consumer to contact his local retail lumberman.

The success of this nation-rvide advertising program in the first three years of its operation has been gratifying. Through the medium of national advertising'rve have been able to develop a sound market for econotnv grades of lumber as well as continued high level sales of all other grades. During 1950 rve will use the great force of this national campaign to promote the ttse of lumber in nerv homes, for remodeling and modernization of older homes and some of it rvill be directed to the farm market.

We are in this picture for the long pull and are backing up otlr confidence in the expanding economy of the nation by investing millions of dollars a )'ear to create a perpetual crop of timber.

The premier shorving of the film "Living with Formica" was held at the Harbor Plywoocl Corporation's warehouse at 540 loth Street, San Francisco, on Tuesday evening, November D, f.or the purpose of acquainting the fabricators of Northerr-r California with the various colors and ideas for the nerv uses of Formica.

Wayne Rawlings, manager of Harbor Plyrvood Corp. of California, distributors for Formica products, gave a very interesting and enlightening talk on plywood and emphasized the necessity of fabricators using'the proper type of plyr,vood core for laminating Formica to be used for table tops, drainboards and vanitories as well as bar and counter tops.

Alfred E. Lilly, Northern California representative for the Formica Company, outlined the historv of the Formica Company and brought out the fact that the company was the only large manufacturer of laminate plastics whose top management \vas devoted entirely to the development of a laminated product and that this fact, coupled with a large and extensive research department, had enabled them to produce a large portion of the volume of the entire industry. He brought out the fact that Formica not only leads the field in the amount of decorative material produced, but also in the number and sizes of colors.

Cocktails \{rere served and an appetizing dinner was enjoyed by over 175 guests, all representing fabricators of decorative material in Northern California. Later in the evening the shorving of the film "Living lvith Formica" was voted by a ver.v much interested audience an outstanding picture.

This meeting gave the fabricators an opportunity to meet each other and to exchange ideas as well as to learn about plywood and Formica.

It is planned to hold a similar meeting in the very near future to give an opportunity to the architects of Northern California to see the film.
