THE CALIFOR}-IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

How Lumber Lrooks

The lumber markets generally continue weak. Engineering News-Record reports nationally that there is a definite spring upturn in general construction activity all over the nation, and makes a most optimistic report on the immediate outlook. However, the lumber market has not felt the improvement in any decisive fashion.

It should be remembered, in considering the building situation, that only the very unwise make their plans in the hope that inflation is normal, and that inflationary booms will last forever. That the present situation has developed, should occasion no great surprise, though regret is unavoidable.

For the rveek ending May 28th the West Coast Lumbermen's Association reports for 166 mills: production, 106,393,775 feet ; orders, 93,530,834' feet ; shipments, I09,1ffi,572 feet. For the week ending May 21, the same mills reported : production, 103,448,095 feet; orders, 105,895,897 ft; shipments 103,158,633 feet.

For the week ending May 28th the Western Pine Association reporting for 90 mills showed: production, 58,662,000 feet; orders 48,545,000 feet; shipments, 53,360,000 feet' For the week ending May 2l the same mills reported: production, 66,080,000 feet; orders , 56,512,m0 feet; shipments, 60,923,000 feet.

Where Wood lfeeds Irom DECAY and TERMITES

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

Penetrating preservative solutions are forced by vacuum-pressure treahnent, deeply into the wood fibres of WOLIvIANZED Lumber, to provide lasting protection under common conditions such as these:

l. Where erceseive ground moisture, rai. or lhawa cause early decay lailures.

2. Where wood uear tte grou:rd ie open to termite attaclg.

3. Wbere wood is in conlact with damp concrete or maeoDry.

4. IAIhere gteam and waler vapor ftom iaduetrial procesges promote wood decay,

5. Where walla, floors, ceilings are subject to con. deusalion lrom relrigeration.

6. Where wood is erposed to moisturE in artificially h'nidilied buildings.

Investigations by qualified technologrists prove that on installations where wate4, moisture, quick condensation and termites ordinarily shorten lumber life, WOIMIINIZED Pressure-Treated Lumber lasts THREE TO ITUE 1IMES LONGER than untreated wood.

And, only WOTMANIED Lumber is clean, odorless, paintable, non-corrosive to metal, nonleaching and glueable.

TNEATIITIG GOMPATY

God made the world. But He does not make YOUR world. He provides the raw materials, and out of them every man selects what he wants and builds an individual world for himself. The fool looks over the material, selects a few plates of ham and eggs, a few suits of clothes, a few dollar bills (or perhaps millions, in which case he considers himielf a great success) and is satisfied. The wise man builds his world out of wonderful opportunities, thrilling experiences, romance, adventure, friendshipS, and miracles Nothing wonderful ever happens in the life of the ham and egg m:rn. * ,n *

"Life

* i<

Charles A. Dana, the great editor of the New York Sun, gave his reporters the following advice: "Tell the truth always so as to shame the devil every time. You've got to square this paper with God Almighty and the Judgment Day every day you live. And that's the only way to edit a paper."

A Sunday trip to the beaches reminded me of what Will Rogers once said: "I never expected to live to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places theY do now.''

I heard Will lecture after a visit to Russia. He told about seeing the Russian people bathing on the public beaches, all of them stark naked. I recall how the audience roared when he chuckled and remarked that he "would have seen more of Russia if he'd seen less of some Russians"' * {. ,i.

f never believed that he made the oft-quoted remark that he never saw a man he didn't like. In his interesting life he saw many people of the worst type, murderers, rapists, kidnappers, wife-beaters, horse-thieves, and criminals of all sorts. I don't think that sweet-souled nian liked them, or that he ever said he did. ***

One of the fine traits of his character was that he could take a trimming gracefully, admitting the other fellow's strength. Shortly after Will's return from Russia, Arthur Brisbane, famous editor, wrote some strong opinions about Russia. Immediately in his daily column, Will Rogers needled his friend for talking about Russia without having been there. The next day Bris-

bane replied that one Leonardo had painted a world famous picture of the Lord's Last Supper, and that the painter not only was not at the supper, but was not even invited. I can imagine how Rogers chuckled at that one. But he didn't answer. He knew he had stuck his neck out, and got it axed.

What are the obligations of a Congressman toward his constituents? Shall he use his own best judgment about important legislative matters, or be guided by the folks who elected him? And how can he judge what they really want? That is a matter frequently discussed in this land. Abe Lincoln once gave his very definite opinion on that subject, when he was first running for Congress. He said: "If elected I shall consider the whole people of Sangamon as my constituents, as well those that oppose me as those that support me. While acting as their representative I shall be governed by their will on all subjects upon which I have the means of knowing what their will is; and upon all others I shall do what my own judgment teaches me will best advance their interests."

d<**

But the great Edmund Furke thought differently about it. He said: "Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serves you if he sacrifices it to your opinion." It is interesting to note that John Stuart Mill, James Madison, Lord Macaulay, and other great thinkers of those days, agreed with Burke. In fact James Woodburn, ?o ?cknowledged authority on government, said that "a republic is a nation in which the governmental power is exercised by the people through elected representatives." However, we are living in an era when the average man seems to think it the duty of our legislative representatives to be merely the mouthpiece of the voters, and he demonstrates that opinion by plying his congressman with letters, telegrams, resolutions, and advisory efforts of many sorts'

Burke's philosophy would be very unpopular today. However I have heard wise men say that a congressman who was not wiser than the average of his constituents, had no business in Congress. I lean toward that thought, myself.

Caught a nice nr."" of**nat* an" other day. It was by Margaret Morrison. "Justice," she wrote, "is never one-sided. Its demands are made equally upon a1l.' Justice demands equality of responsibility, equality of serv-

is short," said Emerson, "but there is always time forcourtesy."

Remember! Celotex Insuloting Sheqthing is . .. double-vvqterproofed

The Erclusiae Celotex Way

WATERPROOFED INSIDEI

- Every one of the millions of tough cane fibres which make up its insulating core board is

impregnated with a waterproofing agent during manufacture.

HERE'S PROOF of rhe kind of performonce thot hqr mqde Celotex the Greotett Nqne In lnsulotion. In o recent letler, Mr. A. J. A4cMullin, President of the Oleon lumber & Supply Corp., Oleon, N. Y., wrote:

"Our Compony opplied rhe regvlar Vz" Celotex Boqrd on the exlerior of our mill ln 1922. No riding of ony kind wos opplied over the Celotex Boord, ond consequently ii hor been subiected to oll kindr of weother, including roin, snow, summer sun, ond even o f,ood, when the Allegheny River went on rompoge in 1912, fl hos given very sotisloctory cenice los 27 yeors ond we hqve no inlention of rcplocing it, os it is rtill in good condition ond os good os onything we could reploce it with."

WATERPROOFED OUTSIDEI

JThis remarkably strong, durable insulating board is then coated on both sides, and on all edges,

with a thick, enduring "raincoat" of speciallytreated asphalt which seals out moisture.

* Yes, ilouble-wateryroofed,, yet it has more than twice the vapor penneability advocated by government agencies!

* Safe even under severe exposure during construction! Even cut edges are highly resiStant to moisture penetration.

* Enables contractor to resume work more quickly after the heaviest rain, thus cutting costly delays.

* Protected against dry rot, termites, and fungus by the exclusive Ferox process,

* Combines exceptional structural strength and rigidity with high thermal insulation.

* Builds and insulates, all at one low cost.

* Yet costs no more than ordinary sheathing.

It Write today for full details!

I wrote recently about our potato subsidy business; how our government paid $3.50 a hundred for potatoes and then sold them for as low as one cent a hundred, to keep them off the market and out of human consumption; how we kept the price of potatoes up at a cost to the taxpayers of more than three hundred million bucks a season; remember? Latest news in the papers is that because of falling farm prices it is going to cost the government at least five hundred million dollars more in the next year to keep food prices up and farmers happy. So I v.'as reading about the government egg situation the other day. It's almost as absurd and violative of all reason as the potato caPer'

It seems that our government has stored in a cave in the side of a hill at Atchison, Kansas, more than ONE THOUSAND CARLOADS of eggs. We, the taxpayers, bought these eggs at a cost of over fifty millions of dollars in order to keep up the price of eggs. These eggs are now dried and packed in barrels. Since the first of the year we have bought and rendered unavailable for familv use 160,000,000 dozens of eggs that were good, eatable food when the government bought them. The officials who handle the egg program are said to be hoping that some use will be found for all these eggs. All this, they say, to enhance the welfare of the people of the nation. We pay higher prices for eggs to eat, and then pay fifty million dollars taxes for government egg destruction. Know any words that would properly describe your feelings in such matters, Junior? ***

I know some pretty good adjectives, myself, but I discovered for the first time how feeble they are when I read and heard about the latest Lilienthal mess: how we are actually wet-nursing, supporting, and educating at the taxpayers' expense active, militant, avowed Communists, via our Atomic Energy Commission. I admit holding no love in my heart and very little respect in my mind for the ponderous and confused bureaucracy that has infested Washington since the spring of 1933. I admit that after the things that have been done, I consiiJered myself immune to surprise at anything further they might do. But when they put the chairman of the Commission on the witness stand and asked him the direct question, what would he'do if he found out that a man he was educating with government money was an avowed and active Communist, and he bluntly replied that he would keep on educating him at government expense-I gave up. There are no words, decent or otherwise, that could express my indignation. ***

Just shows how far v.re have drifted down the dark road. I doh't think there was ever a time f.rom L776 to 1933 when such a thing could have happened, without creating a spontaneous explosion that would have rocked the nation, and knocked the roof off the Capitol. Now, we are indignant-but we just talk.

To a national lumber convention held in Washington recently, Senator Robert A. Taft delivered an address, in which he said: "For the first time in peacetime, the President has demanded the right to fix prices; the right to fix wages; the right to allocate materials, which, in effect, is rationing; the right, if industry does not expand as he thinks it should expand, for the government to go into that business. * * x The basic issues seem to me to propose a fundamental change in our whole system of government'"

On the same program the well-respected Senator Ken. neth S. Wherry said, in part: "The financial stability of the United States of America is in question at this very hour. And the thing that gives us the most concern is the socialistic trend of our government. We hear much talk about the cold war with Russia, but right here at home, within the borders of our beloved country, some of us are engaged in a cold war for the preservation of our republican principles of government. Many are asking, 'Will socialism be our children's heritage !' My answer is that it WILL BE unless you and I and all the people who believe we have the best country on earth, get busy and do something about it. Too many of our countrymen are asleep-asleep to the dangers that confront us. They say-'It can't happen here !' Fellow Americans, IT IS HAPPENING HERE."***,,

Just to get this bad taste out of my mouth and mind, hark to this story-a true one-about Davy Crockett, who died in the Alamo. He was a congressman once, and when called upon to make his maiden speech, the courage that made him a great hero, deserted him, and this is what he said: "Mr. Speaker, I can lick airy man in this house; but right now danged if I ain't scared plumb stiff."

President Decorates California

Forest Fire Fighter

James W. Simons, of Los Angeles, a 38 year old employe of Los Angeles County's forestry department and the diiver of a bulldozer, was honored and decorated in Washington recently by the President of the United States for heroism and devotion to duty in fighting a bad forest fire' The ceremony took place on May l7th, at the White llouse. He was flown to Washington espe'cially for the ceremony by the American Forest Fire Foundation Awards Committee, and the program was in charge of Lyle F. Watts, Chief of the U. S. Forest Service. He was awarded the American Forest Fire Medal for heroism.

Last November, 1948, when a dangerous fire raged in Topanga Canyon, north of Los Angeles, he volunteered to drive his bulldozer across the front of the fire to create a fire line on which the hundreds of forest fire fighters might make a stand. He did the job, sometimes fairly enveloped by the edge of the flames. He cleared a fire break that saved 550 buildings, and emerged with his skin blistered, his clothing partly burned off, and his hair singed' It was a valorous piece of work, and was so declared by the many forestry and government officials who gathered in Washington on May lTth to do him honor.

\(/all Street Journal \Trites Up Lumber Town of Scotia

Scotia, Calif.-Looking for an escape from the high cost of living? Scotia is the place.

In this little. (population: 2,000) logging and milling "company town" at the upper end of California, lumber' jacks and millhands live in a tourist-type hotel for $15 to $18 a week, including room service, and eat food recomrnended by Duncan Hines f.or 67 cents a meal.

Employees with families rent the torvn's 300 neat 4, .5 and 6 room houses for $24 to $36 a month (and $6 extra for fireplaces) 'ivith water and garbage service throrvn in.

Scotia is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Pacific Lumber Co., operator of the world's largest redrvood mill. The company has its orvu polver station, fueled mostly by mill waste, to supply the torvn and mill. A mill-owned rvater system including a big filtration plant, furnishes Scotians their free water.

Herds of 1,000 cattle and 1,800 sheep on company ranches around Scotia supply meat for commissaries, hotel and family use. Meat is slaughtered and prepared in a company abattoir.

As the company is the only taxpal'er in the district, it foots the entire bill for Scotia's moderu grammar school. Company employees on the board of trustees are often able to rvheedle extra concessions from their big employer-taxpayer.

An employees' association maintains a modern fullystaffed hospital, providing hospitalization, surgical and medical care, including home services, for dues of around $1.60 a month to employees and half-price service to their f:rn.rilies. The company pays hospital deficits.

A company-orvned mercantile store supplies food and other commodities at prices tl-re same as those at independent stores in near-by communities (competitive pricing is done in order to avoid antagonizing the independent merchants). Other commodities and services such as a garage, tailor shop, beauty shop, movie theatre and barber shop are operated as concessions. A company-owned bank hanclles the community's financial affairs.

Scotia is one of the ferv California towns without a saloon, a cleliberate company policy, though packaged liquor is sold at the company store.

Nu-Wcy Builders Corp.

Sells Tension-tite Screens

Nu-\A/ay Builders Corp., 7326 Fslton Avenue, North Hollywood, has been appointed wholesale distributor in San Fernando Valley for Tension-tite Screens by Rudiger-Lang Corp.

As the town and mill are located on the Redu'ood Highrvay in the heart of a big recreational area, the hotel, the Scotia Inn, widely advertises its "lumberjack dinners" -the same food as the employees get-to attract the totlrist trade and puts up tourists when rooms are available.

Neat larvns and gardens in Scotia are stimulated by fat annual "memorial prizes"-tfuev run from $200 to $500Ior the best looking lawn in town, tl.re finest roses, best vegetable garden and other landscape features. County officials act as judges.

Scotia grel'v uP from a collection of shacks and bunkhouses set up in 1886 tvhen the mill started operations. The to\\.n represents a carrying-to-extremes o{ the old lvestern logging industry tradition that lumberjacks and mill hands rnust be lavishly fed and comfortably housed.

The town is run by a superintendent; it {ras a maintenance crerv of 33, including painters, paperhangers, pluurbcrs and laborers.

An employees' volunteer fire department, s'ith an espritde-corps typical of the days o{ the old West, operates upto-date equipment furnished by the company. Community affairs such as traffic and safety measures are threshed out in monthly management-employee conference grouPs.

Once a year the u.hole torvn and innumerable guests turn out for a n'hopping Labor Day barbecue in Scotia's big recreational park. "Assembly line" equipment especially designed for this affair includes pits big enough to barbectte a dozen steers at a time. As the meat comes out of the pit, 14 butchers cut it up and it slides dorvn stainless steel chutes onto seven steam tables with pans holding 60 pounds of meat apiece and on each table 600 charcoalheated aluminum plates for serving.

These tables are r,vheeled out to tl-re seven sections into u,hich the park is divided for serving the barbecuers. A second group of r,vheeled tables holds potato salad and other fixings-at last year's picnic they used a ton of salad. A third group of specially designed wheeled serving tables simultaneously holds dry-ice-refrigerated milk, butter and ice cream and steam-l-reated coffee. Feeding of as many as 4,200 guests in 28 minutes has been accomplished by the assembly line barbecue system.

How to Avoid Paint Troubles on Siding

John Reno, The Pacific Lumber Company, Chicago, Ill', writes that one of their distributors asked them to prepare a list of "Do's and Don'ts" on horv to avoid paint troubles on siding. Here are their recommendations:

1. IJse clear heart kiln-dried siding only.

2. Keep siding dry in storage.

3. Be sure sheathing is dry when siding is installed.

4. Paint ends of siding with thick paint when installingor before. (In pile.)

5. Use galvanized nails.

6. Leave no open joints when installing siding-butt ends of siding tight against corner boards and casings; also against ends of adjacent pieces of siding, including corner mitres.

7. Ends of siding against sloping roofs should be trimmed back at least 3A"-and should be painted.

B. N{etal corner pieces must be fitted rvater-tight.

9. Make tight construction at eaves to prevent entrance of r'vater during rvindy, driving rains.

10. Ilxtend roof sheathing and paper beyond the outside of r'vall siding, so that any condensation on underside of roofing material runs off outside of the siding, and not into stud space or under sidiug. Lorver edge of frieze board to be against outside of siding'

11. I-ou,est course of siding should be at least 6" above ground.

12. Carefully install approved vapor barrier as close as

possible to the rvarm side of the wall-especially when there is insulation in the wall.

13. Make sure the sheathing paper is not a vapor barrier.

11. Carefully install flashing over all rvindou's and doors, extending metal down over edges and ends of wellsloped water tables-prevent rvater getting in back of siding or jambs. Edge of siding should not rest do'r,l'n tight against "near level" lvater tables over doors or windows.

15. Use a good grade of paint-do a good job of painting-

16. Don't paint on a damp day-or a cold day.

17. After installing sicling, apply prime coat of paint immediately-before rain occurs. (Of course, priming all surfaces before installing would be ideal.)

1.9. l)o all plastering and let plaster d.y thoroughlv throughout its full thickness before applying second and third coats of paint. Leave windorvs open during clrying of plaster.

19. Prevent movement of moisture to stud spaces from basement or crarvl sPaces.

20. Ventilate attics that have insulated floors.

21. Start out rvith dry siding, keep it dry, and prevent u,ater or condensation getting behind the siding.

The building program itself includes:

1. A r-rerv 12,500 square foot addition to the main Marsh plant, in order to step up the production of the nerv Marble and \\rood-Patterns of Marlite.

2. Nerv rvarehousing and shipping facilities that will provide approximately another 31,000 square feet of floor space.

3. A complete nerv office building u'ith approximately 14,000 square feet of floor sPace.

The main Marsh plant addition is being built arounC and over the space presently occupied by the old ofifice building, rvhich is being torn down.

Edwin H. Percy Had Long Memory o[ Mandocino Coast

Edrvin H. Percy, who died on April 16th last, had been Chief Engineer for the Union Lumber Company, at F'ort Bragg, for 39 years, and was one of the most experienced lumber veterans of the Mendocino Coast arlcl its long time lumber industry. He was born in Eureka on September 7, 1881. His fatl-rer r.vas then superintendent for the Excelsior Redu,ood Company on Indian Island, Humboldt Bay, and from his earliest childhood he watched with deep interest the developn.rent o{ the lumber industry along that great Coast area and the Redwood emPire.

Shortly before his death this past spring he rvrote fronr memory a story regarding the interesting things he salv and remembered, which story is printed in "The Noyo Chief," the magaz\ne of the Union Lumber Company' dated May, 1949. It is a most interesting story that must bring keen recollections to the older lumber folks of that region. Particularly he described the great ocean rvharf at Fort Bragg which was used for shipping lumber by boat out of that lumber producing area' The rvharf was a tremendous thing, projecting 800 feet into the ocean, carrying five standard railroad tracks. This wharf was only dismantled during the last year or so, and the piling and timbers were sa\\'n into lumber. As far back as 1888 Mr' Percy rvatched the loading of lumber and mill supplies on this rvharf

Concerning \'Ir. Percy "The Noyo Chief" says: "He rvas ver)' valtlable to the company and community'"

Southern Chivclry

When picturesque Senator J. Thomas Heflin held forth in Washington, he frequently maintained that his native state of Alabama was the most chivalrous of all states.

"Nowhere is this more to be observed," he said, "than in that least chivalrous of all places, the court of law." And then he related the following story:

"An Alabama Judge, a courtly gentleman of the old school, had to try a case in which one of the witnesses happened to be an actress greatly admired in the South. The nature of the evidence was such that the usual question, 'What is your age?' was more than likely to be asked, so when she came to the stand his honor told the court clerk to suspend action for a moment; then' turning to the actress he demanded:

"'Madam, how old are you?'

"'Twenty-six,' she replied, although she was at least thirty-six.

"'Very well,' said the Judge, politely. 'I have asked you that question because if I hadn't it would surely have been asked when the attorney for the defense cross-examined you. And, now that you have told us your age' do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?'" (Christian Science Monitor')

Just a Gcg

"What's flat at the bottom, oointed at the top, and has ears ?"

"I give up."

"A mountain."

"What about the ears?"

"You never heard of mountaineers?"

Twilisht

Just asmokin' and adreamin' And athinkin' of your dear, Just alongin' and awonderin' And awishin' you were here;

Just awatchin' twilight fadin', Night afallin' from the blue, Just asmokin' and adreamin' Prayin' you're alovin' too.

Just asmokin' and adreamin', Buildin' castles in the air;

Just ahopin' and agrievin' And awonderin' if you care;

Just awatchin' lonesome shadows

Cross the empty hearthstones fall, Just asmokin' and adreamin' And alovin' you-that's all. -Forrest Maben KelP.

Lecrdership

A leader is best when people hardly know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him. Fail to honor people, they fail to honor you. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say-"We did this ourselves." (Lao-Tse.)

IMhv Indeed?

When late I attempted your pity to move, Why seemd you so deaf to mY Prayers, Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, But-why did you kick me downstairs?

Give Me cr Sense ol Humor

An anonymous worshiper once left behind in Chester Cathedral, in England, a poem of unknown origin that has been much quoted ever since. The two most quoted stanzas of the poem are:

"Give me a mind that is not bored, That does not whimPer, whine or sigh, Don't let me worry overmuch, About the fussy thing called I.

"Give me a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some happiness from life, And pass it on to other folk."

Stones

Lord Birkenhead proudly announced to his family that he had obtained a lucrative contract for a series of articles to be called "Milestones of My Life." They discussed what material he proposed to use in the writings.

Said Lady Birkenhead: "You might mention our marriage, and the birth of our first child."

Replied Birkenhead: "I shall write about milestones, my dear. not millstones."

Crossed Wires

The young lady tried to telephone a music store to ask 4bout some recordings, and got a garage by mistake. She asked:

"Have you 'Two Red Lips and Seven Kisses'?"

The garage man rePlied:

"We have two tom cats and seven kittens."

Pazzled, the young lady asked:

"Is that a record?"

And the garage man rePlied:

"It is around this joint."

Weyerhaeuser Report Strettet Plant Additions and Increased Payrolls

Further progress tor,vard Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's goal to insure its permanent operation u'as indicated today in tl.re firm's annual report.

This report reiterates the companv's determination to build for tl-re future through the operation of tree farms in Oregon and Washington, by diversifying its manu{acturing, grouping its processing plants, and developing ner'r' products and peimanent markets.

Highlight of the report was the fact that the company last year spent $31,576,185 for additions to plants, equipment ancl roads. Payrolls during the year were increased approximately sevetr million dollars, from $24 million in 1947 to $31 million in 1948. This expansion and other expenditures on ne\\: products are part of the company's program for greater utilization of the forest crop, thus creating greater stability for both the company and the communities in n hich it operates.

In the annual report, J. P. \Veyerhaeuser, Jr., presider.rt of the company, commeuted on the changes in the price trend during 1948.

"During the first three months of 1948," he said, "lve extended to retailers a 10 per ceut reduction in prices of lumber for homg construction, although this failed to affect the bpoming market. It might be fairly said, hou'ever, that our restraint in pulp prices did help to hold the inflation line. In the case of both lumber and pulp, prices sometin-res 50 per cent in exccss of ours lvere recorded during the year.

"In the latter part of 1948, buyer discrimination in many fielcls became more and more evident. Hesitation translated itself eventually into sharp price redttctions for lumber and plyt'ood.

"In spite of the break in the price 1evel late in the year," continued \\ie1'erhaeuser, "1948 produced large earnings measured in terms of the current dollar. The lorvered purchasing po\\'er of the 1948 dollar rl'as perhaps best eviclencecl to the company by tire fact that during the year it actually reinvested in plant additiorls and improvements more than the total net earnings of tl-re company for the year."

Net income for the year was reported at $25,962,537, ot $8.49 per share. A total of $31,576,185, u'as spent on plant and vessel additions and replacements. Major expenditures were : for logging facilities, a sawmill, and a container boarcl mill at Springfielcl, Oregon; for a sulphate pulp mill ancl expansion of the plyu'ood plant at Longvierv, Washington; for the construction of logging truck roads at Coos Bay, Oregon, and for trvo cargo vessels.

l)ividencls of $3 per sltare, the same as $1947, were paid' The company's annual report revealed a strengthening of total lvorking capital position. As of last December 31, rnorking capital n'as $25,058,883, as compared r'vith $15,31i,735 a year ago.

Shrinking profit margins rvere predicted for tl.re year 1919 tn the report. At the same time, the company expects to offset to some extent this trend through earnings from nerv units.

Plywood Will Spend Million for Advertising ,

Tacoma, \\/ash., May 23-The youthful Northwest plyr,r,oocl industry, oft-described as an offshoot of lumbering, has dipped into the big chips and come up rvith a $1,@0,000 aclr'ertisir-rg program to build an even greater rnarket for the big panels.

"I)rastic cuts in plyrvood prices l.rave been made as a post-\var readjustment, thus making the panels immediately con-rpetitive dollarrvise and opening many new markets'" That rvas the announcement of Arnold Koutonen of Olympia, president of Douglas Fir Plys'ood Association, the industry trade-promotion organization, as he told of the sales prot't-tt-rtion Program.

"Since the readjustryent of price levels has not been accompanied by a corresponding reduction of manufacturing costs," Koutonen explained, "producers must look to expancled sales volttme to rvard oft- substantial losses'"

And he added that the manufacturers feel nolv is the time to broaden demand as fir plyrvood is again in good supply throughout the nation for the first time in r-ears'

Some 36 firms operat\ng 44 separate. factories in 30 Washington. Oregon and north California cities and tolvns are subscribing the money.

New Attachment System For Abbestos Cement Siding

(From Arizona Sun.)

HAPPY JACK-This forest timber sale camp 42 miles south of Flagstaff was recently the scene of the annual training school at which Coconino National Forest seasonal employees were taught forest fire-fighting techniques.

Right across the road north is "Saginaw Camp," rvhich is headquarters for the logging operations for the two big Flagstaff sawmills, Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., and Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company.

More than 60 men, including representatives of Sitgreaves, Tonto and Kaibab forest in addition to Coconino, gatl-rered here for registration preparatory to the training program which concluded with the actual setting of "forest fires" and demonstrations of bringing them under cnntrol.

The "llres" r,vere watched closely and forest service officials say that there was no danger of them "getting away."

With 60 men on hand, all highly conscious of fire-fighting techniques, there was little possibility that if a fire should really get started, it would have a chance to become a big one.

The annual training school was omitted last year because the fire season started so early that the fire-fighters received their training fighting real fires.

United States Gypsum has just announced a new "tool" to promote sales of gypsum sheathing and asbestos cement siding. Called the Shadow-Lock Attachment Systenr, it permits the application of asbestos cement siding directly over gypsum sheathing. Detailed information may be obtained from local representatives of the company, or by writing United States Gypsum, Department 122, 300 West Adams Street, Chicago 6, Ill.

Some Tests on the Gluing Characteristics of Four \(/est Coast

Hardwoods: Chinquapin, Tanoak, Calilornia Laurel, and Madrone

Forest Products Laboratory,l Forest Service

U. S. Department of Agriculture

INTRODUCTION

Some of the soft'ivood species of the Pacific Coast region have been utilized commercially to a great extent, rvhile irr. contrast, the hardrvoods used on a commercial scale in this area have been largely brought in from central and eastern areas of the United States even though the Pacific Coast has several native hardwood species. To promote closer utilization of hardwood species native to the area, the California Forest and Range Experiment Station has sponsored investigations of the properties of California laurel (Umbellularia Californica, best knor,vn to the novelty trade as Oregon myrtle), chinquapin (Castanopsis chrysophylla), tanoak (Lithocarpus dumosa), and madrone (Arbutus menziesii) to determine whether they are adaptable and satisfactory for commercial use. The U. S. Forest Products Laboratory rvas requested to assist in evaluating the characteristics of these species. Tests to determine their gluing characteristics rvere among those considered important. This report, therefore, presents results of tests to determine rvhether the four species can be satisfactorily glued lvith casein, starch, animal, urea, and resorcinol glues. As the amount of material available at the Laboratory from each species \vas limited, tl.re results may not be completely typical for each species, but they are probably inclicative of the quality of glued joints that may be expecte<i rvith these species under good gluing conditions.

The data in this report apply dircctly to laminating applications, in rvl-rich the tangential or radial surfaces of the Iumber are. glued, and the grain of adjacent pieces is in the same direction. In general, rvood in the form of veneer of the same species can be expected to give similar results rvhen glued into ply'ivood, in rvhich the grain of adjacent pieces is usually at right angles. It is believed, therefore, that none of these four species rvould invoh'e

irlry ur-rusual gluing problem in making plywood. The initial dry-joint quality of such plywood would be expected to be in the same general order as shown in the present tests rvith the same glues.

Procedures

All species were at about 8 per cent moisture content and were prepared lor gluing by cutting into 11/16- by 2i4- by l2-inch pieces. Four joints, each consisting of trvo pieces, were made with each species with each glue, except the laurel, for which only three joints could be made u.ith each glue because of lack of sufficient material.

The glue was applied to only one of the joining surfaces and the gluing conditions were as given in table 1. After being taken from the press, the joints rvere allorved to remain in an atmosphere at 80o F. and 3O per cent relative humidity for 1 week before block-shear-test specimens rvere cut. Five shear specimens n'ere cut from each joint and rvere tested dry in a universal-testing machine with the shearing head moving at a rate of about 0.015 inch per minute.

Results

The average results of the shear tests of the joints are given in table 2. The data in table 2 indicate that California laurel offered some resistance to gluing rvith caseirr ancl vegetable glues, and that joints of inferior quality resulted in all four species rvhen animal glue rvas usecl under conditions favorable to starved joints. Horvever, good c1u:rlity joints u'ere obtained with all four specics rvhen animal glue was used under good gluing conditions. Joints made ir-r laurel lr'ith casein and vegetable glues and animal glue under good conditions l'ere adequate for many purposes, although percentages of rvood failure rvere lower than rvith most other hardrvood species listed in U. S' DeTd"intain"d at Madison, Wisc., in cooperation with the University of .Wisconsin.

partment of Agriculture Bulletin 1500, The Gluing o{ Wood. The other three West Coast hardwood species generally produced joints with higher wood-failure values thaii did California laurel when tested in the block-shear joints. Except with vegetable glue, chinquapin appeared to be thc easiest of the four species to glue.

In describing the gluing characteristics of these four hardwoods, it may be helpful to compare the results with those obtained on other species with the same types of glue. This was done by comparisons lvith data in U' S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin 1500 and in Forest Products Laboratory Report No. 1342, "The Gluing Characteristics of 15 Species of Wood with Cold-setting, IJrea. resin Glues." In table 3, the species of the present study are grouped, Tor each glue, with species shown to have nearest observed wood-failure values in the reports mentioned. No co-mparison could be made for resorcinol-resin glue because this glue has not been investigated extensively for gluing a large number of species. These comparisons indicate that when reasonable care is used in selection of gluing conditions a species might be expected to produce joints of about the same quality as the species groupecl with it for a particular kind of glue. For example, tanoak may be glued with vegetable (starch) glue under normal or average conditions to produce joints of about the samc quality that would be produced by this glue in sycamore,

black tupelo, or water tupelo. The hardwood species used for comparison in table 3 are not native to the West Coast. To afford a comparison with one of the more commonly used western hardrvoods-red alder-it can be said that (of the four species studied) the gluability of chinquapin compares closely with red alder when animal or casein glue is used. When vegetable glue is used, madrone compared more closely with red alder in gluability. These comparisons are not, holever, so close as those given in table 3.

In table 4 another means of comparing the gluability oi the four western hardwoods is presented. In this table the species are described as easy, moderately easy, or difficult to glue with the several glues, depending upon the amount of wood failure developed in the joint in the block-shear tests (table 2). In table 4 a species is classified as easy to glue if the wood-failure values were between 90 and 100 per cent, moderately easy to glue if between 50 and 90 per cent, and difficult to glue if between 0 and 50 per cent.

Considering all the glues used, chinquapin could be glued most easily, followed by madrone, tanoak, and Cali: fornia laurel, in that order. fn summary, the four species do not appear to present unusual gluing problems, although good joints cannot be expected without moderate control of gluing conditions'

F.H.A. Explcins Pressure Trected Lumber Requirements

Fedeial Housing Administration District Director H' T' Neilson, of Southern California district, has issued a circular clarifying its rules on pressure treated lumber as follows:

"There seems to be a mistaken impression on the part of some builders since the City of Los Angeles modified its requirements for pressure treated lumber that it is no longer necessary to install pressure treated girders and posts in structures insured by the F.H.A.

"Our requirements in this respect are not changed and are that all lumber below the bottom of the floor joists, including posts and girders, be treated in accordance with Paragraph 409-C, of the Minimum Property Requirements, when the clearance between such members and finish grade is less than 18". In cases where the'clearance is such that treated girders are not required bearing blocks of redwood are required under them. Mud sills shall be treated in accordance with Paragraph 4O9-C or may be of foundation grade redwood."

Selling Time Returns

"My faith is in American salesmanship as it is in American production. We produce the world's best goods, but also the world's best salesmen. Historians will probably refer to the decade of the 4O's as the period of record-breaking production expansion, and the decade of the 50's as the period of advanced selling."-(L.

New Typ. of Lawn Chair

Production of a ne'iv style lawn chair by the Longview factory of The Long-Bell Lumber Company has been announced.by company officials. The chair, made from Douglas Fir, will be sold in package form and will be assembled by the purchaser.

'Each package contains 30 pieces of wood cut to the required sizes and shapes and, when assembled, forms a sturdy chair designed to fit the curvature of the body for the greatest comfort. The design difiers from those manufactured in large quantities by Long-Bell several years ago.

The chair may be put together with nails or screws and glue is recommended for use on some parts. Assembling instructions are included with each package to give the purchaser a clear and concise method to f'ollow for putting the ' chair together.

"CANDID FORESTRY," an educational cartoon on interesting and little-known facts about West Coast forests, appears for the first time today in The California Lumber Mer'chant. This unusual feature is drawn by Art Bimrose, rvell-known Portland newspaper artist, and will become a regular monthly feature of this newspaper.

Foresters, educators and writers have pooled their knowledge of the forests into this distinctive feature which is ably drarvn by Art Bimrose. We believe it 'ivill answer many of the questions about our great Douglas fir forest' lands and in a style which will appeal to all of our readers from the youngest to the oldest.

There are I75 Tree Farms in the Western Pine region covering 2,694,447 acres.

New Redwood Movie

San Franci566-"gs-Oervirens," the story of the ,,everliving tree," is the title of the new documentary 16 millimeter motioq picture whi,ch has been released by the California Redwood Association

In 30 minutes, running time of the film, "sempervirens" not only shows how modern forestry works with nature toward perpetuating redwood supplies but also explains milling and grading procedures in terms of intended uses of the rnaterial.

A production in kodachrome complete with sound, the movie sholvs how redwood has become one of the most widely used of the world's woods even though it grows in the most restricted area of any lumber-producing species.

Because of its unique combination of properties, redvi,ood has been found better, for more jobs, than any other wood in the world. lfowever, because of all the lumber produced only one board in 50 can be redwood, it should be used with care to do the jobs it alone can do best.

"Sempervirens" tells the story of,finding the best market for the various grades of redwood and illustrates the uses of redwood in industry, in agriculture, and in the home. The use of redwood for tanks, for cooling towers, for decks of aircraft carriers, for barns and silos, for the exterior and the interior of homes, and for countless other diversified purposes is illustrated in detail.

An important part of the movie was filmed along the narrow strip of land on the 500 miles of Northern California coast where Sequoia sempervirens grows. The story o.f second growth and the practice of selective logging, whereby a selected number of trees are left standing as seed trees in each area to rebuild the forest, is explained and illustrated.

Sempervirbns also tells of the segregation of park and commercial areas and of the importance of conserving the redwoods as a raw material.

The film was produced by Gene K. Walker productions of San Francisco and was supdrvised by philip T. Farnsworth of the California Redwood Association.

Bookings for lumber groups will be given special priority. Write California Redwo6d Association, 405 Montgo*.iy Street, San Francisco 4.
