There will be no "Merry Christmas" at the top of this column today. Any American who feels merry with what. goes on in the world at this Christmas time should either be in a mental institution or some other place of detention' {. *

On last June 25 we were all worried. It was frequently said and printed that any human who was not sadly worried with conditions must have something wrong with his head. * *

We were worried about taxes; we were worried about inflation; we were worried about public debt; we were worried about the steady creep of socialism into our national life: we were worried over the losses we had sustained to our liberties; we were worried about the wastefulness of our government; we were woried about many other things of much the same sort. **

What short-sighted folks we were ! For now we know that probably nobody now living will ever see conditions as good and the minds of Americans as free from worries as they were on June 25 last. We didn't know it, but we were having wonderful times at that time, but, lacking the vision of prophets, we didn't realize it. But we lcrow it now! Lord how we know it! :g !F

As I sit here writing this stuff (which wiU not be in the hands of our readers for ten more days) the United States of America is-in the judgment of millions of sound thinkers-at the lowest ebb of all its history. Not even during the dark days of Valley Forge were things as hideously threatening as right now. It were folly to try and discuss present conditions, knowing that ttre entire fate of the world may change before this journal is in the mails.

r feel sure that there *": ":"., a time when Mr. John American was ever as confused in mind, as low in spirits, or as doubtful of his leadership as he is today. He is like the British soldier that Tennyson wrote about in "The Charge of the Light Brigade," when he ssid!"g's11 though the soldier knew, someone had blundered." You can listen to the talk of Mr. American wherever men meet from ocean to ocean today, and you find the same thing expressed in loud voices and high temper. "Someone had blundered." Else how did we arrive in our present frightful position? **

A long time ago there was an inconspicuous (?) Ameri-

can who advised this nation to have "friendly rel,ations with all nations, entangling alliances with none." HiB name was George Washington. But George's ideas were kicked out the window in the last two decades, and in their stead we have taken up entirely opposite philosophics from those of the Father of our Country. Little men of little minds, have led us as far from the sound tcachings of Washington and Jefrers"n f rDen c:ln well go.

From the moment this home-loving, pcace-loving, honorable nation began taking part in forcign wars, we havc been steadily drifting into tte tragic position in which we now find ourselves. George Washington, knowing histor5r, understood that Euro1rc and Asia have been engaged in warfare practically all the time from the dawn of history. They always have been. They always will bc. Students of history say ttrat war among those civilizations is inevitable.

But Washington's philosophy of "friendly rel,ations with all nations, entangling alliances with none," was the advice, not only of a wise rnan, but, itr *y opiniorl of an inspircd man; a man into whose mortal mind Immortaf Providcncc itself put wisdom that rises above tlre wisdom of uninspircd mortds. Is there any doubt in the mind of any unprejudiced student of American history that Washington fore saw and sought to forestall the horrors tfiat have come upon this nation today? * *

It seerns very plain from ever5zthing that Washington and Jefferson ever said or wrote, that their strongest vision was for a free and aloof Amerrca untouched and untarnished by those political tides that have ebbcd and flowed since time began in the Old World, bringing eternd war,

with its horror and its desolation. That we should never allow ourselves to be sucked into the old-world vortex of political damnation, was the intent and purpose of Washington and his great associates in forming and organizing these United States.

*t<

But we did form entangling alliances, we did venture into the morasses and quick-sands of the Old World, and today we find ourselves grasped from many directions by the hideous tentacles of a monster that makes even our strong, courageous, and free souls shudder. 'How to get out? That is our problem today. How to get out of the quick-sand without losing those things we hold most dear; our gallant men in uniform, and our national honor.

We have encountered " ;. :" the far side of the earth, a foe countless in number, a foe without honor, decency, integrity, or the faintest sign of human fairness. As this is written MacArthur announces that a million Chinese soldiers are killing and wounding his comparatively small force. They speak of his United Nations forces, but that is a farce. It is the United States forces. The United Nations sits and talks, and listens to Red Russians and Red Chinks insult the United States, at the same time our American boys are being over-run by hordes of barbarians in Korea. *

It is difficult, considering the fix in which we find our army in Korea today and the diplomatic chains that have bound and hog-tied the efforts of MacArthur, to try and remember the story of the Bishop; a story I related in this column not.so long since. As the story went, the Bishop couldn't sleep at night, worrying about the world. And once as he tossed on his midnight couch, the Lord appeared to him, and said, "Go to sleep, Bishop; let Me take over for the rest of the night."

Too bad the Lord did "; "f0.". to our government in Washington some years back, and offer the same advice He gave the Bishop. Maybe we wouldn't have tried to cover the entire earth with our well-intentioned advice, influence, and money. We know now, even the dumbest among us, that we have taken in too much territory. Our "police action" without Congressional sanction into Korea, now speaks for itself. And it is a frightful piece that it is speaking.

ft is momentous decisions that this nation is now called upon to make; decisions necessitated by the vast blunders of the recent past. They are talking about the possible use of the Atom Bomb. I'm funny when it comes to talking about saving American lives; the lives of American soldiers. I would rather see every damnable Communist wiped from the face of the earth, than see one American boy lying murdered in his blood. We fear retaliation if we use the bomb. Some wise man has said that the proof that Russia does not have the bomb is simply the fact that New York, and Washington, and Los Angeles, and the rest of our cities, still stand. What possible evidence is there that those barbarians would hesitate to use it? If

they had it, we wouldn't be here. If they got it tomorro% we wouldn't be here tomorrow night.

General Frank Howley, inJ "*"a four years in Berlin for us, watching the Russians and is an authority on the subject, derides the very thought that Russia can make an Atom Bomb. He laughs the idea to scorn. Such foolish confidence in the Russian ability, he says, leads to spineless capitulation. He doesn't think the Russians could make a bomb if we gave them the materials and the blueprints. He thinks the Russians mean business, that they are as horrible as the rest of us think, but that they are "lousy" mechanics and scientists, and that if they had a bomb they would use it right now.

Let us put our faith in LJ ,."r* of MacArthur and other great American warriors, and in the prowess of oru American soldiers. I feel that an American boy is wortt a dozen Chinks; and that's a conservative estimatc. .Ttcrc was once a great Texas Ranger named Captain Bill McDonald. A riot broke out in a Texas town, and the citizcns wired the Governor for help. He wired back that it was coming on the first train. The train came in and Bill McDonald stepped off. Someone asked: "My God! Did they just send one ranger?" And Captain BiU a smdl mildlooking man, asked, "Why, is there more than one riot?" There was only one riot, and Captain Bill took care of it in a hurry.

American valor as found in our soldiers, and American leadership, as exemplified by MacArthur, will handle the situation in the 6nal round. They will atone for dl the blunders of Washington (and this time I don't mean George). It is tough to have to pay so frighdul a pricc for diplomatic blundering but it can't be helped now.

Building and Loan Committee Assails Public Housing

Washington, Dec. 5: At the 58th convention of the United States Savings and l-oan l.eague a report rvas made strongly condemning the "lobbying activities of Federal public housing officials." The report was submitted by the Committee on Government Housing.

In another section of its report the Committee assailed continuation of the public housing program, saying it was proceeding "at a feverish pitch" rvhile private home building was being sharply curtailed and restricted.

Bv last October 15, the committee said, about 11,000 public housing subsidized units had been started under the Housing Act of 1949, and of these, more than 8,0(X) were started since the outbreak of the Korean u'ar. Up to June 3, onlv 54O units had been started.

The committee recalled that President Truman, on July 18, requested that, in view of the international situation, public housing starts from July to December 31, should be limited to 30,000. "This order was in reality a blanket approval for public housing authorities to push ahead on their programs," commented the committee, "since it would have been impossible, with or without a war, to have started this number of subsidized units."

Of the program in general, the committee said, "this experiment in Socialism" has been forced to go on the defensive in dozens of communities, large and small, where the matter has been put to a referendum. In 30 cities public housing programs have been defeated by referendum, while approval for the program has been won in only five.

1950 Forest Fire Report -- California Losses Heavy

K. W. Linstedt, U. S. Forest Service, Portland, Oregon, made a report to the recent Pacific l-oggrng Congress which n'as held in Portland late in October, on the forest fire record of his territory for 1950. He said that up to that time Oregon had had 907 fires which covered about 15,000 acres of timber land. Washington had 1225 fires which burned 29i0 acres. California had one of the most expensive fire seasons in 25 vears, he said, with 4,000 fires that burned 200,000 acres of tirnber land, causing five million dollars damage and killing five people. Losses on the national forests of California totaled 867 and covered about 7,000 acres.

He reported that there are now far greater mechanical and other facilities in use for the prevention and fighting of forest fires, and also the public is far better educated than ever before to the danger of careless fire lighting. On the other hand there has been a great increase in populatino in the West, and the result is a great increase in the number of people vacationing in forest territory. Burners on small sawmills were charged rvith causing many fires this year, while sparks from power sau's have caused a goodly number.

S.y Handouts Endanger Economy

Basing its facts and figures on official records of the Commerce and Treasury Departments, the Budget Bureau, the President's Council of Economic Advisers, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Security Agency, and state treasurers over the nation, the Tax Foundation of New York, issued a statement warning the federal and state governments of the country of the imminent dangers from increasing handouts that raise a threat of fiscal stability.

The Tax Foundation is a private, non-profit organization, composed of and directed by many of the nation's leading business authorities. The release was made in the shape of. a 209 page booklet entitled "Facts and Figures." "As the nation enters a new decade, faced with greater expenditures for defense and foreign commitments," it said, "the ability of the economy to continue to support social welfare programs at constantly higher levels is a moot question'"

It said that welfare programs, begun "modestly under the goad of depression," paid out a staggering $5,500,000,000 in 1949, "and indications are that greater amounts will be spent in the decade ahead."

It did not condemn the programs. It questioned the u'isdom of doling out still more when the already gloomy economic picture is taking on more ominous tones.

It should be remembered, the foundation said, that the people already are straining under a tremendous tax burden and that

the combined Federal-State public debt stands at a top-heavy $274,000,m0,000 neither of rvhich augur economic health.

Taking into account the debt, plus lvorsening inflation, and defense spending to which it "sees no end," it lvarned that unless wise fiscal policies are follon'ed, there is no future guarantee "to security holders that they will be repaid in a 'fullvalue' dollar."

While business in 1949 n'as producing at the stupendous rate of $256,000,000,000 a year, nevertheless the inflated dollar would buy only 59 cents rvorth. The cost of living for the moderate income family rvas almost 68/o higher than l0 vears ago.

Since 1933, when the government first came to the aid of depression-hit farmers, it has paid the farmers almost $9,000,000,000 in benefits, this despite the fact the farmers' marketing income jumped from $5,314,000,000 in 1933 to $28,127,000,000 in 1949.

The nation's tax bill-Federal, State and local-rose nearty $40,000,000,000 from 1939 to 1949. The Federal take last year was 68/o of all taxes levied.

Federal, State and local spending more than tripled-from $17,000,000,000 in 1939 to $60,000,000,000 last year when the Federal government alone spent 69/o of the total.

In 1940, there were 4,400,000 civilian employees. By 1950 this had jumped one-third, to 6,400,000.

Military spending in 1939 was only l4/o of. total Federal spending. It was 50/o at mid-1950.

As of Sept. l, this year, 18 States were paying out $2,420,80O,O0O in cash bonuses to war veterans. Their u'elfare bill was at a rate of $642,000,000 and school aid at $1,728,000,0(X).

Los Angeles Building Records for Citv and County

Gilbert E. Morris, superintendent of the Department of Building and Safety for the city of Los Angeles, announced on December first that the city permits set a new record of $42,297,439 for the month of November, which comp-ares with $32,361,013 for October of this year, and $22,U4,735 for November 1949. The total for the first eleven months of the present year total $365,M7,435, compared with last year's $261,193,714. Mr. Morris said that housing construction continues without appreciable reduction.

W. J. Fox, head of I-os Angeles County Building Department, released the county figures for construction in November, showing that 3775 permits with a value of $22,278,20I were issued for a new record high. The next previous November was in 1948 when a valuation of $18,000,000 was placed on permits granted. For the year to date 56,975 permits have been issued in the county with a total value of. $314,903,794. In the dwelling category there were 37,028 permits issued during the first eleven months of the present year, which is higher than the total for 1949 by about 60 per cent.

The total single-family home units for which permits were taken out for the eleven months totaled more than 20,000, which is an all-time record for small home construction.

For the first ten months of 1950, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc', issued the following table, showing construction up to November first in the top 25 cities of the country:

Shortages of Lumber and Building Materials Rapidly Disappearing

Washington, D. C., November 2'$-Shortages of lumber and building materials are raidly disappearing around the country, H. R. Northup, executive vice president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated.

"A telegraphic survey of retail materials dealers just completed shows that almost all commonly used materials are now available for reasonably prompt delivery in retail yards, and inventories are accumulating steadily," 1\{r. Northup said.

"While short w'aits of two to three weeks are reported in some localities for gypsum board and lath and certain other materials, the prolonged delays experienced in recent weeks have been eliminated.

"The improvement in the supply situation is attributed to the downturn in new housing starts, better availability of freight cars, and the return to more normal buyng practices in the trade.

"While the supply of building materials containing strategic metals may become tight after the first of the year, as the sup ply of metals for civilian use is restricted to aid the rearmament program, other materials are expected to be in full supply in the months ahead.

"The improvement in the materials supply situation means that anyone wishing to build homes or other structures, exc€Pt amusement and recreational facilities which have been prohibited by the National Production Authority, can proceed rvithout encountering delays so far as materials availability is concerned."

New Construction Activity in November

Nonresidential building expanded in November partially ofisetting a decline in home building to hold total construction activity at a record level for this season of the year, the Building I\,Iaterials Division of the U. S. Department of Commerce and the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of I-abor Statistics reported today. The total value of all types of new construction put in place during November amounted to more than $21 brllion, ofi by 8 per cent from October 1950, but 23 per cent above the total for November 1949.

A further tapering-ofi in the 1950 housing boom *'as indicated by a larger-than-seasonal drop of l0 per cent from October in the value of work done on ner,l- private residential buildings. At $l ,020 million, the value of nerv private dwelling construction in November rvas still 36 per cent above a year ago' holvever,'and the highest November total on record.

The rnoderate rise in nonresidential building activity resulted from contra-seasonal gains of 5-10 per cent in commercial and industrial building and smaller increases in construction of religious, private educational, and hospital buildings. Effects of the order on nerv construction for social and recreational purposes began to shou' up u'ith a small decrease in construction activitl'on projects in that category.

Desrrite the decline in November, private homebuilding continrre<l to be the largest single factor in establishing 1950 as the record vear for expenditures on new construction' Private resi<lential builcling (including nerv drvelling units, additions and alterations, and nonhousekeepine residential structures) accoturted for M per cent of the total value of all t1'pes of new construction in November and for 45 per cent of total new constntction <luring the first eleven months of 1950' Private construction other than residential building made up only D per cent of the total duringthe first eleven months of this year an<l public construction rvas 26 p€r cent of the total'

All types of public construction declined in November' School and hospital building u'ere dorvn only slightly and high,*'a.y construction shorved a smaller drop than is usual at this seasrjn. Expenditures for military and naval construction amounting to $17 million in November were higher by $3 million than in November last year.

Total outlal's for nerv construction in 1950 passed the $25 billion mark bv the end of November, exceeding the total for the first eleven months of 1949 by 22 per cent' During the first eleven months of 1950 private expenditures for new construction arnountirrg to nearly $19 billion u'ere 28 per cent higher than last year, u'hile public expenditures of almost $fu billion were up 9 per cent.

Douglas Fir Producers Plan for 1951

Bv H.V. Simpson, Executive Vice President West Coast Lumbermen's Association

Biggest story of 1950 by long odds, as far as the lumber industry is concerned, is the amazing, booming home construction record of 1.3 million new non-farm homes undertaken during the year.

This is an all-time record for number of homes started in a single year. It tops 1949 by 30/o or 300,000 units. It proves beyond question the tremendous capacity of the building industry to expand rapidly and absorb almost any volume of demand on short notice.

All but a fraction of these new homes were built by private industry, which is the best evidence we have seen to bolster the argument against need for public housing.

All segments of the building industry deserve credit for making possible the record ccnstruction volume. Retail lumbermen, key link in the distribution of lumber and building materials, dicl a magnificent job in handling what the military chooses to call the logistics of collecting, transporting and supplying the vast quantity of materials needed-

Here in the West Coast region, rvhere much of your framing and finish lumber originates, we expect to have our greatest procluction year in history. We will cut 10.5 billion board feet in 1950, topping record-breaking 1929 by 300 million.

One of the handicaps we faced for virtually half of the year was the crippling freight car shortage in southern Oregon and northern California. From May through October cars \\'ere scarce-as low as 30/o of needs. Retailers suffered as well as manufacturers in this road-block to orderly distribution of our product. Trucks took up much of the slack to California p'oints and intercoastal tonnage of lumber doubled over volume carried in 1949.

We know pretty well now what else has happened in 1950: The large volume of single-story school construction, which promises to continue for at least fifteen more years; the unusual pickup in church construction, good for more years as parishioners jingle more money in their pockets; and commercial, industrial and some defense spending topped off the year.

Most everybody in the lumber and building industry would like to know what's going to happen in 1951. Frankly, so would we.

Two related question marks seem to hold the key. One is the big, vital, all-important question of whether we are to have war or peace, whether we are to continue a huge armament program without war, or whether the shooting will actually get under way. The second question is the extent of credit controls which will be applied to building, assuming we stay on a non-war, but heavy armament basis.

\Me are a long ways from filling the needs for new homes in the nation. It will take an average of 630,000 a year to care for new families and new population, plus another 200,000 to replace those worn out and destroyed. There is your homebuilcling backlog minimum for the next decade--{50,000 new homes.

Liberality of credits and availability of scarce items like nails, and items made from steel and critical metals will govern the volume of home building. It rvill determine, too, how many churches, schools and non-defense industrial and commercial structures are built.

\\/e u'ould like our retail friends to kno*' this fact. Here on the \\'est Coast \\'e are prepared to supply vou rvith vast quantities of .lumber to handle most of your usual require' rnents, ancl rve will still have enough volume to meet military and clefense requirements that have developed so far. We have the timber out here, we have the plant capacity and the rnanufacturing know-hou', and lre have the men unless the government needs them, to maintain our present high production volume.

Here's what rve are doing and anticipating for 1951. Our board of directors has authorized us to continue our very successful national lumber promotion camp3ign of full-color advertising in the nation's top shelter magazines, tu'o-color schedules in leading farm journals and specialized campaigns in trade and technical journals.

\\te plan no let up in our efiorts to help retail lumbermen sell more lurnber. We featrrre the retailer in all of our advertisements, urging the consumer to see his retail lumbermen when he is ready to build.

We are enlarging and improving our full ofiering of dealers' aids, adding ner,r' ideas as conditions warrant. Among our helps to dealers are free newspaPer advertising mats, and a variety of aids at cost, such as radio platters with lumberselling spot announcements, imprinted blotters, farm books, billboard paper. \\Ie will supply any of the lumber retailers r.r'ithout cost rvith quantities of our colorful, eye-appealing lumber promotion literature. tr[uch of this is in four-colors, all of if is short, compact, easy to read and carries a punch-

This literature is business-getting for the dealer who will use it. It can be mailed with monthly statements and is equally attractive on th.e display counter.

Dealers may also book u'ithout cost our new Z?-minute, rnotion picture, "Lumber for Homes" w'hich comes in 16 mm in color and sound and is ideal for service clubs, schools, sales and staff meetings, conventions and other uses. Available for booking after January lst is another Z2-minute all-color and sound motion picture, "Ntagic of Lumber" made by the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection.

We are not going to let the consumer forget about our four farned \\'est Coast \\'oods-Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock, Sitka spruce and Western red cedar, even though we should move into a more rigidly controlled economy. We believe that continuity of advertising through the years will pay dividends to our manufacturers and to the retailers as well.

Fo.recast lor 1951

"F{orr.re building will undoubtedly shou' a decrease in 1951," accorcling to the follou'ing forecast by W. H. Upson, Jr., presiclent of The Upson Company, I-ockport, N. Y. "The Federal Reserve Board's Regulation X sets a tough credit policy on residential housing. Authorities in Washington conter.nplate this restriction will reduce the record number of housing ur-rits from 1,025,100 starts in 1949 to about 850,000 housing units in 1951. Personally, I would not be surprised to see the decline in 1951 even greater than the 30/o to 35/o now now predicted, because a snowball gains momentum of itself. Oftentin-res it is difficult to apply brakes once a decline has been started ancl thereby has created doubt and uncertainty.

"But even this lesser volume will afford a healthy nucleous for the building trade and, of course, the statement has been freely nTade that if the restrictions are too severe, they rvill be liberalized.

"I do not think there is cause for the extreme pessimism reflected by sorne lurnber dealers and builders. If w'e build only 800,000 housing units in 1951, we u,ould still be building more than lvere built in twenty of the thirty years since 1920.

"We know that even with the construction of almost 5,000,000 homes in the last five years, there is still an inadequate supply of housing for the mass market-a shortage of rvhich the building industry is keenly aware and which, to its credit, be it said, it has been feverishly seeking to reduce.

"l]nfavorable influences include the credit restrictions of Regulation X-the need of building materials for defensethe constantly increasing price of labor-and excessive high

prices for some building materials in critical supply. The present fourth cycle of rvage advances must inevitably result in higher prices for building materials and these prices in turn rvill increase the cost of building. Some building materials rvhich have been selling at sLy-top prices will undoubtedly rececle. But naturally, materials which made only moderate price advances cannot take comparable reductions.

"trIuch of the building in l95l u'ill probably be in the lowerpriced houses because of current restrictions.

"It rvould seem that 1951 rvould be a good year for general industry. Some branches of industry, especially those engaged in defense u-ork, will probably be extremely busy. Continued high wages will undoubtedll' tax the capacity of consumer goods. In fact, it $'ill be surprising if there is not more money than goods. This rvill result in increased savings and increased prices. In other u'ords, real n'ages, as expressed by purchasing value of the dollar, may decline somervhat. I-abor will continue scarce although production r*'ill probably be reduced. Some consumer goods u'ill ultimately be in critical supply, if not actually rationed."

The Mahogany Horizon

By Geo. N. Lamb, Secretary-Manager

Mahogany Association, Inc.

Before getting down to cases, I would like to say that the I,Iahogany industry is beset by the business problems that face all industry, large and small. Our problems are not merely those that originate in one continent but in three. We live and manufacture in the United States but must obtain our raw material from Central and South America and from Africa. It means doing business in a dozen tropical countries with varying governmental, economic and climatic hazards.

Under these conditions it is not the part of r't'isdom to assume the role of a prophet. All we can do is to take a look at what has happened in the past, review the present situation and rvith plenty of "ifs," make a gu'ess that might hold good for a month, six months or a year.

In quick review, demand and supply have followed a somervhat diverging course since the end of the war. Both have been very much on the increase but demand has been consistently greater than supply. In veneers especially, demand has outrun supply. Fortunately, we entered the postwar period rvith a large inventory of veneer. Without'it, shortages would have been acute. Two-thirds of that inventory has been whittled away. This has happened in spite of the fact that current production has more than doubled that of 1945. The furniture buyer can blame, and the producer can thank the television industry for a very substantial part of this increased demand.

At the beginning of the postwar period there was very little n-rahogany lumber inventory. As a critical war material, most mahogany lumber went into war uses. The same was true of veneer but military specifications excluded all figured wood rvhich u'as channeled into veneer rather than lumber. Mahogany lumber inventory has built up gradually but is still far from that of prewar years. Here again supplies have increased but not enough to give prewar service in grades, thickness and dryness. The scarcity of choice domestic woods and the narrowing difierence in cost between them and Mahogany have been factors in the demand for mahogany.

We feel that it is quite likely the demand for mahogany may have reached its peak for some time to come. The demand for furniture correlates very closely with home building and the demand for mahogany follows that of furniture in peace time. If the estimate of one-third less home building in 1951 is accurate, this should reduce furniture demands for mahogany. This drop in home building, as u'ell as the defense demand for electronic equipment and also restrictions on strategic metals should slow up television, the number tu"o market for mahogany.

There is no reason to suppose that other markets for mahogany will increase. Boat building, interior woodwork and fixtures, musical instruments are more likely to drop off than to increase in a rearmament economy. The same applies to 25 or 30 minor markets for mahogany. All in all it seems reasonable to suppose that civilian goods in which mahogany is used will be ofi in production in 1951.

a priority second only to that of actual munitions. Imports of mahogany lumber and veneer were under the control of war agencies. It was used by the Navy, for aircraft and glider production and for foundry patterns.

In the present defense planning mahogany is again on the critical list but so far the Munitions Board has given no inkling as to how and in what rvay mahogany will be used for military purposes.

Ever since the u'ar there has been some buying of mahogany for military purposes but this buying has not been appreciably accelerated since Korea. Our guess is that, short of all-out rvar, there will be no considerable demands for mahogany for military purposes unless the military comes up suddenly with a stock-piling program. \\'e haven't the slightest knpwledge of any plans in \\'ashington that affect mahogany and we doubt that such plans exist at the present time. Horn'ever, it is quite possible that mahogany u'ill be needed in the war program and if so, that u'ould mean restricted supplies for civilian uses.

Mahogany SupPlies

Imports so far this year indicate that 1950 will be another big year for mahogany, perhaps totaling close to the all-time record years of 1947 and 1948. With operations as hazardous as mahogany production and transportation to the tropical seaboard, anything can happen but the lan' of averages certainly indicates a good production year- If this eventuates, the mahogany industry should be able to continue to take care of current requirements tor the rest of the year but still in the hand-to-mouth fashion that has prevailed throughout the year. As 1951 unfolds, the availability of mahog"any may gradually improve.

As to prices in 1951, no predictions can be made. Foreign export taxes have been increased and costs in the production areas have been increasing steadily, as well as labor costs in this country. Competition of both American and European buyers has also caused an increase of log prices in some of the foreign areas of production. Ocean freights have remained steady at a level three times the pre-war rates- There is a tendency towards high charter rates due to a shortage of tonnage of the size ships generally used.

\\Ie do not look for any runaway market in either mahogany lumber or veneer.

Boyd-Darn€ll Acquire E. K. Wood San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club Mecting

Riverside Branch Yard

Two Southern California lumber executivesRuss Boyd and Charles Darnell-assumed ownership and direct management of the E. K. Wood branch yard located at 376I First Street, Riverside, California, on December 1, 1950. On that date the name of the organization ' was changed to RoydDarnell Lumber Company, and although the name was changed, the personnel in general remains the same.

Darnell and Boyd have had many years experience in the retail lumber field, the majority of rvhich u'ere spent with E. K. Wood in various capacities. They have been prominently identified in the distribution of forest products in California and the middle west and rvill establish their residence in Riverside.

Complete inventories of hardlvood and softrvood lumber for every purpose rvill be maintained, along's'ith plywoods, panels, sash, doors, trim, dimension, shingles and shakes. Hardwood finish and specialty materials including a full line of builders hardware will also be carried in stock.

Paul A. Loizeaux, former manaS'er, will remain with Boyd-Darnell. "\\re rvill establish our reputation by serving the home ou'ner and builder in this territory with cluality building products, and the policy of the organization will continue without change in any u'ay," declared the new owners.

The first English language Courant-was established in daily nervspaper-the Daily London in 1702.

The San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club held its annual lumber' men's dinner meeting at the Cuyamaca Club, San Diego, on Friday evening, December 1. The meeting was well attended, and President Ed Glasson presided at the business session.

The speaker of the evening was E. E. Bauermeister, Supervisor of Prison Education, at the California Institution for Men at Chino, Calif. His informative talk was enjoyed by the gathering.

"Chuck" Hampshire showed an interesting U. S. Forest Service color motion picture, "The Realm of the Wilds."

Stabili'ing Ncrtioncrl Economy

Realizing the deflated value of what once was known as "The Almighty Dollar," the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau at many of the retail lumber dealers conventioos to be held during 1951, will have as a door prize a crisp $20 bill inflated to old time values. by attaching thereto a beautiful prestained Certigrade processed shake, all wrapped up as fancy as a box of candy and tied together with a big bow of crimson silk ribbon.

The Glory ol Wcshingrton

To lead a people in revolution wisely and successfully, without ambition and without crime, demands indeed lofty genius and unbending virtue. But to build their State amid the angry conflict of passion and prejudice, to lrcacefully inaugurate a complete and satisfactory governmentthis is the very greatest service that a man can render to mankind. But this is also the glory of Washington.

With the sure sagacity of a leader of men, he selected at once for the three highest stations the three chief Americans. Hamilton was the head, Jefferson was the heart, and John Jay the conscience of his administration. Washington's just and serene ascendency was the lambent flame in which these beneficent power were fused; and nothing else than that ascendency could have ridden the whirlwind and directed the storm that burst around him. Party spirit blazed into fury. John Jay was hung in effigy; Hamilton was stoned: insurrection raised its head in the West. Washington himself was denounced. But the great soul was undismayed.

Without a beacon, without a chart, but with unwavering eye and steady hand, he guided his country safe through darkness and through storm. He held his steadfast way like the sun across the firmament, giving life and hedth and strength to the new nationi and, upon a searching survey of his administration there is no great act which his country would annul; no word spoken, no line written, no deed done by him which justice would reverse, or wisdom deplore.-George William Curtis.

lltlithout Preiudice

Some folks minds are as open as that of the woman who was heard to remark as she started for a political meeting, "I am not prejudiced at all. I am going with a perfectly open and unbiased mind to listen to what, I am convinced, is pure rubbish."

Justice

"Justice," said Ben Franklin, "is as strictly due between neighbor nations as between neighbor citizens. A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang, as when single; and a nation that makes an unjust war, is only a GREAT GANG."

A Good Gun

Two old mountaineers were sitting on the porch, and one was cleaning his rifle. It was old and old-fashioned, and the friend was inclined to smile at it.

"Don't make the mistake of scorning lhis here old gun," said the owner, as he rubbed it fondly. "This gun has killed more game than any other gun on this whole mountain-side. And, what's more, it's got me two big, strong soninlaws."

The Fool

The royal feast was done; the King Sought some new sport to banish care, And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool, Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells, And stood the mocking court before, They could not see the bitter smile, Behind the painted green hc wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee Upon the Monarch's silken stool; His pleading voice arose: "Oh, Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool!

"No pity, Lord, could change the heart. From red with wrong, to white as wool, The rod must heal the sin: but Lord Be merciful to me, a fool !

"'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep Of truth and right, O Lord, we stay; 'Tis by our follies that so long, We hold the earth from heaven away!

"These clumsy feet still in the mire, Go crushing blossoms without end; These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust Among the heartstrings of a friend.

"The ill-timed truth we might have kept; Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung? The word we had no sense to sayWho knows how grandly it had rung?

"Our faults no tenderness should ash

The chastening stripes must cleanse them dl; But for our blunders-oh, in shame Before the eyes of heaven we fall

"Earth bears no balsam for mistakes; Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool That did his will; but Thou, O Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool !"

The room was hushed. In silence rose The King, and sought his gardens cool; And walked apart, and murmured low..BE MERCIFUL TO ME, A FOOL !"

Fewer Sawmills, More Lumber Employes on Grcys Hcrrbor

One of the most impressive speeches made at the recent Portland meeting of the Pacific Logging Congress was by Congressman Russell V. Mack, of the third district in the state of Washington.

He said that 25 years ago the sawmills on Grays Harbor rnanufactured a billion and one-half feet of lumber from virgin logs annually. Today Grays Harbor produces only about onefifth that much lumber, yet by the addition of lumber remanufacturing plants, pulp and paper operations, plywood factories, furniture factories, and various other industries that use wood for their raw material, they now employ more people than they did 25 years ago, and use only one third as much wood. The first tree farm in the West was named in Grays Harbor County.

Sequoias in Britain

California gold has made its mark on the English countryside and on thousands of parks and gardens throughout the British Isles. The search for gold took men among the sequoias, and it was between 1846 and 1853 that seeds of both the giant sequoia and the redwood were sent to Britain for the first time. According to one story, the first pa.rcel was sent in a snuftbox by transcontinental pony exprtiss, the mail charge being $25 for two ounces.

There was some international disagreement about a scientific name for the giant sequoia because each country wished to. honor its national hero. Americans said the tree should be "sequoia rvashingtonia," but the English said that in England it would be "wellingtqni4"-3nd it still is ! Foresters and botanists refused to squabble; for them "Sequoia gigantea" was good enough, and the tree may now be seen nearly everywhere in Britain.

Already there are specimens exceeding 125 feet in.height but in Britain the timber is not good enough for the tree to be valuable in forestry.

The famous redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, is less well known and less widely grown as an "amenity tree," but British foresters value it much more highly. The heaviest stand of timber in all Britain is a redwood grove, not yet 100 years old. One tree, which cannot be more than 103 years old, h4s 'already exceeded 150 feet in height.

As the redwood seems to grow quite as well in Britain as in California, our successors may see in Britain trees as tall as any in the world.-Iohn D. U. Ward in Natural History magazine.

Southern Plywood Manufactu]ers Association Holds Fall Meeting

Formal announcement of the Southern Plywood l'lanufacturers Association inspection service was a highlight of the association's fall meeting held on November I and 2 at the Henry Grady Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. This service is an in-rportant addition to the quality control Program of the Southern panel makers which they inaugurated over two years ago with the establishment of the association plywood testing laboratory in Atlanta, Ga.

John L. Butler has been selected by the Association to establish the inspection service and serve as its first plywood inspector. Mr. Butler brings a well developed background of both formal education and practical experience to his new activity.

John Butler is 32 years of age and a native of New York City. He graduated from the College of Forestry, New York State Ranger School, Syracuse University 1n 1937 with a Bachelor of Science degree in wood technology.

Prior to World War II, he was employed by Union Bag & Paper Corp., Savannah, Ga. as a forester with duties as a tirrber cruiser and logging superintendent. For two years he was wood technologist at Rayonier, Inc., Fernandina, Fla. wl.rere he originated and carried out procedures for correlating quality of incoming logs with qualitv of finished high grade dissolving pulps.

During World War II, he served as a First Lieutenant in

Artillery and the Air Corps. In this latter assignment he headed the Wood Unit of Materials and Processes Branch, Inspection Division, Air Technical Service Command, WriSttPatterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Among other duties he had administrative control of Air Force wood inspectors in six procurement districts; !!'as responsible for preparing quality control and inspection manuals and approving inspection requirements of new Air Force, Army-Navy and Joint At-yNavy materials and processes specifications; provided test checks for various types of glued construction.

Since separation from military service, IUr. Butler has been employed by Tidewater Plywood Co., Brunswick, Georgia and Darlington Veneer Co., Darlington, S. C. His work at these mills has covered all phases of plywood production including such duties as plant engineer, supervisor of quality control inspection and. testing, foreman of gluing operation and supervisor of dry kilns.

R. A. Hertzler, chief of the Wood Utilization Division, Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, Asheville, N- C., presented an interesting and informative talk on Southern hardwood timber in which he strongly urged the standardization of hardwood log grades in the South. By the use of pre' pared charts and with survey figures for the years 1937 and 1947,he shou-ed that the percentage of hardwoods on southern timberlands is now 4O% of the total and is increasing. This

increase, however, is in cull trees of desirable species and those species whose usefulness has not been established. Despite heavy demands for it, yellow poplar has increased in supply. Among his suggestions to increase the volume of hardwoods in the South and also improve their quality, Mr. Ifertzler recommended more planting of hardwoods, improved cutting practices, and research to develop better utilization of all hardwood species.

Association members and their guests were impressed by the forceful presentation of current emergency production planning by M. C. I-nrenz, Procurement Section, Corps of Engineers, St. I-,ouis, Mo. He gave in some detail those factors which make such planning advisable and explained how individual plywood manufacturers may cooperate in this voluntary production allocation program. Basically the program is a vol-

untary agreement on the part of a manufacturer to furnish certain kinds and quantities of material to the government in the event of a national emergency. When M-Day, the day of total war mobilization is declared, the manufacturer immediately begins production on those previously agreed items for the government, and in turn is assured of receiving those supplies required by him to produce the government orders. Those manufacturers present indicated a desire to cooperate in this emergency production planning program.

The inspection service of the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association is available to both member and non-member plywood manufacturers in the South to assist them in grading, gluing and other manufacturing problems. Arrangements can also be made for Mr. Butler to inspect and issue reports on disputed shipments of hardwood plywood, veneer and doors. Further information about this service is available from the Southern Plywood Manufacturers Association, 728 West Peachtree St.. Atlanta. Ga.

C. A. Smith, president of the Coos Bay Lumber Company, of NIarshfield, Oregon, died suddenly at his home in Berkeley, California, on December 9. He u'as one of the most prominent men that ever invaded the Western lumber and timber industry. He t'as 73 years of age, a4d came to the West from Minnesota, though he was a native of Srveden. He organized the C. A. Smith Lumber Company, rvhich acquired huge stands of timber on the Oregon coast, and rvhich was succeeded by the Coos Bay Lumber Company. He built the mill at Marshfield, probably the largest single unit sawmill ever built on earth, capable of cutting 50,000 feet of lumber per hour.

Here are lumber species production records for the year 1923: \\rashington produced 5,M7,712,m feet of Douglas fir; Louisiana produced, 2,598,754'000 feet of yellow pine; Michigan's production of maple exceeded that of any state for any hardrvood species, and Arkansas ranked second in its production of oak.

Tree Farms in Western Oregon and !(/ashington Total 3,677 ,7O7 Acres

Portland, Oregon-West Coast tree farm acreage in west_ ern Oregon and Washington jumped to 3,627,702 acres with the certification of 407,015 additional acres in the Douglas fir region.

E. ?. Stamm, chairman of the Forest Conservation Commit_ tee of Pacific Northwest Forest fndustries, said the new lands included in the tree farm intensified managemenr program covered 144,789 acres in eleven new tree farms as well as 262,226 acres added to tree farms previously certified.

Stamm said the sensational growth of the tree farm move_ nrent since its founding in this region in l94l was one of the great industrial stories of the nation. He cited the present national acreage of more than 22 million acres in 28 states as proof that private forest owners are making tangible progress in improving the sound handling of forest crop land.

The conservation leader said a tree farm is an area of private, taxpaying forest land dedicated to the perpetual growth of forest crops under consciously applied forest practices. He

said West Coast tree farmers have much higher than the minimum state requirements.

standards

Four small tree farms in Washington and two industrial tree farms in Oregon totaling 3,852 acres lost their certificates for violation of the committee's rules.

In Oregon the conservation grdup approved the tree farm applications of McGrew Brothers in Douglas and Jackson counties and The Long-Bell Lumber Company properties in Polk county, both totaling 16,979 acres.

Washington had nine new tree farms certified: Charles Rowlands, King county; Oscar Rose, Frank Taylor, Milo Sexton and M. G. Harnden, all in Skagit county; G. S. Williams, Whatcom county; Pilchuck Creek Tree Farm, Snohomish county, I-ong-Bell Lumber Company Tree Farm, Cowlitz county and Skykomish Tree Farm of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in King, Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties. These nine new tree farms total 127,810 acres.

Tree Farm areas now certified in Western Oregon total 1,303.006 acres. Washington has a total certified acreage in the western portion of 2,374,701 acres. Stamm said that the regional inirease in tree farm acreage in 1950 was 12.4 per cent over 1949.

ri 103,000 New Dwellins Units Started in October

The Nation's homebuilders started 103.000 nerv Permanent nonfarm ds'elling units in October, according to preliminarl' estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. This rvas a drop of 12,000 units, or l0 per cent. from September, but almost equaled the 104,300-unit volume for October 1949, rvhen housing activity was at peak for that year.

October marked the first month this year that new housing volume ltas under the level of the corresponding month last vear. The Bureau stated that at this time the efiect on housing starts of credit Regulation X and related curbs cannot be determined.

During the first l0 months of 1950. a total of 1,209,1CX) nes' drvelling units were put under construction, 42 pet cent above the 851.300 started during the same period last year. Of the 1950 aggregate, public housing accounted for 23,000 units. 30 per cent under the corresponding total for last year.

Final estimates for the first 7 months of 1950 show some increase over last 1'ear in the proportion of housing built in urban places, and a decline in the proportion of rentalt1'pe housing put under construction. Of the total number of nonfarm ds.elling units begun during the first 7 months of the year, 59 per cent rvere started in urban places during 1950, compared rvith 56 per cent in 1949. Rental housing (units in 2-or-more familv structures) comprised 17 per cent of all nerv drvelling units started during January-July 1950. Last vear, for the same months, the proportion was 23 per cent.

The rich, rain forests of Oregon yield the large and sound Douglas fir that comes to APMI mills for ply*ood manufacture. From the woods, "peelers" afe transported to the mills by rail or truck. Only selected logs are chosen for plywood production. Only skilled craftsmen operate the specialized machinery that creates APMI's exterior and interior type panels. And only when these panels pass dual inspeccion (that of the company and of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association) does APMI plywood go to market. There is a type, size and grade of APMI plywood for every building need. Each panel is identified by a grademark and by the company trademark-your double guarantee of qudity.
