The Wonders of Wood

Being an address delioered by John B. Egan at the Los Angeles lunch2on in obseromr,ee ol 'National Forest Prod'ucts Week, held October 26 at the Los Angeles Clwmber ol Cotnm.erce.

T ADIES and gentlemen, there are two u reasons why I am glad I am here. One, to talk about trees. I have been living ofi them and under them, most of my life. They have given me a modicum of income. I honor and respect them. Two, because I like to talk under auspices of Hoo-Hoo, a lumberman's fraternity, unique, the only one of its kind.

There are many weeks in the year. Not 52 as we learned in school, but lB2, according to Chase's Calendar of Events. May has 30 weeks, including National Pickle Week. It is also National Tavern Month. Tavern owners are much less modest than lumbermen.

Through the year we have Large EconoSize Week, Weigtt Watchers W'eek, ::Return Borrowed Books Week. Honev for Breakfast Week and Salute the Housewife \Feek (sponsored by the Laundry Association )

This week-October 2l-27-we find National Flower Week, National Wine Week, National Thrift Week and National Down.town Week, as well as Nationa], Forest Proilucts Week.

That is. why we are assembled here to. day. President Kennedy has proclaimed this week as National Forest Products Week. He has urged tltat ceremonies be held to direct public attention o'to the necessity for recognizing that a productive forest and a thriving forest products industry are elements in our economy essential to its continued growth."

IMPONIANCE OF FOREST PRODUCTS

The importance of forest products was well summarized by Senator McClelland of Arkansas in his introduction (June 20, 1960) of a resolution in the Senate of the United States asking for passage of a joint resolution by the Congress to insure the proper and deserved recognition of this vital industry in our national economy.

He said, 'oThe oldest industry in the United States, the forest products industry, deserves the public recognition of a special week set aside for the observance of a celebration honoring that industry.

"It is evident that the forest industrv. operating in every state in th" u.rion is highly significant to the well being of our nation's citizens and our nation.

"American forests cover 786 million

acres and are the nation's only re-newable resource,

'oOwnership of private commercial timberlands is diversified. Of the 4t/, million owners, 34/6 are farmers-166 million acres; l3/o are wood processing industries --64 million acres; 26/o are people like all of us here-127 million acres; and 2Wo is the federal government.

"The Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture is responsible for the management of the national forests, including selling the timber rights to private companies. Other lands are handled by the Department of Interior.

ooForest land management has as its primary objective, the growing of repeated crops of trees. The forest practices and forest protection necessary to accomplish this objective, usually result in many additional benefits. Among them-watershed protection, preservation of the soil. recreation for people and maintenace of forage for game and livestock

"The forest products industry, including lumber and wood products, furniture and fixlures, pulp and paper products, provides

direct employement in 57,000 operating establishments to its l/2 million persons, or 9/o of all manufacturing employees. Payrolls total more than $6 billion annually and value added by manufacture exceeds $lI billion. Expenditures for new plant and equipment by the forest industry total more than $850 million annually.

"The couutry produces 30% of the world's lumber, 4O/o oI its wood pulp, 43/o of its paper and paperboard, and 5l/o oI its plywood.

"Through the transportation of forest products during 1959, the nation's rail. roads earned more than $1.3 billion in gross freight revenue, representing l5/o ol total railroad freight revenue.

"It will be to the best interests of the people of this nation, including government, Iabor and management, to have the forest industry called to their attention annually through the proclamation of a National Forest Products Week."

This subject is so broad that we want to confine our remarks to four areas of discussion, and if we want a text, we have found one in the Ogden Nash poem-

"I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree.

Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all."

BEHIND THE BIITBOARDS

Let's travel up the highway and look behind four billboards and examine what we see:

l. The billboard of short supply.

2. The billboard of high price.

3. The billboard of poor quality.

4. The billboard of decreasing use of wood products.

1. The billboard ol short supply.

The United States is growing 25/o morc wood than it is harvesting. Widespread practice of reforestation accounts for this, plus more favorable tax laws which permit a land owner to hold his timber and not cut it before it is ripe.

The first actual beginning of the tree farm movement was the Clemons Tree Farm owned and operated by Weyer. haeuser and started in 1941.

Today 7,400 private timber owners are

fiirnanaging more than 38 million acres of

tree farms.

Tree planting has more than doubled be' theen 1956 and 1960. It has tripled since t!953. Itt the 1960 planting season, 2,135,'

rp0o acres were planted.

Use of gasoline powered chain saws has improved forest utilization to a large de' gree. With the use of a power saw it is possible for one man to quickly and econ' omically fell, buck and limb small trees and to salvage chunks and limbs.

in this class of material. New processes and equipment permit utilization of smaller, poorer logs, for both lumber and veneer, mask or correct many surface defects, in' crease the service life and improve the all' round utility of wood.

'' Like human beings, trees require food. They need water to drink. They cannot grow without the sun's warmth. They must ,have light. Like us, they are born, grow, reproduce, work, rest and die of old age. Some trees live 20 years and some live for :benturies, but all trees eventually die, or j are harvested for man's use.

In 1952 we find that total wood use is divided as follows:

Ltmber-52/o

Pdpwood-22/o

Veneer-plywood-A/o

Fuel wood-16lo

Other products-4/o

2. Thc billboard ol price.

r, I The forester might answer it in this way, ., "Trees may die, or trees may be harvested, but the forests can live forever."

' Thi, is true, because trees grow. Trees are an agricultural crop, much like wheat

, We can have plenty of wood to build :homes, make more new products of wood ,rrnd still have plenty of wood growing in our forests if these forests are properly managed and protected. ; or corn. They can be harvested and grown I again. One of the chief difierences is that

it takes longer to grow a crop of trees than does a crop of corn.

iiil,iree farm is a prlvately owhed area of Iorestland and voluntarilv dedicated to the of timber as a perpetual crop. All tree farm owners agree to protect their trees from fire, insects and disease. They agree to carry out a clean, systematic log harvest and grow new trees to replace those harvested. A tree farmer realizes that a forest is not static, that it is a living, dynamic unit and that, given a chance, it will reproduce itself as a renewable natural resource.

GOVERNIIENT OWNER.SHIP

The second largest ownership of forest lands is the government, with 2I/o in its control. National forests total 181,292,000 acres. For sxample, Alaska has 20,714,000 acres; Idaho, 20,300,000 acres; and California, 19,938,000 acres.

One hundred and two million people visited national forests last year. This was four times the annual visits of l0 years ago.

As a growing population centers in traffic-burdened cities, millions more people each year seek nature's tranquil byways. . And there is no better place to change the pace, to lull the spirit and renew the soul. Apparently multitudes are learning as the poet Bliss Carmen wrote:

r, '

"There is virtue in the open

There is healing out-of-doors;

The great physician makes his rounds Along the forest floors."

Tree utilization is improving each year: I9N-3O% sound wood in every tree ! converted to useful products; 1925-

37.6%; 1950-47/6; 196I-50% to 8o/o.

Let me quote you some price data lrom the U.S. Department of Labor, Bulletin 1295' Juneo 1961 (1947-49 equals rc0%). These indicate price increases of various products.

Structural clay products-160.2

Metal and metal products-153.6

Machinery and motive products-I53.O

Rubber and rubber products-l44.S

Non-metallic minerals--137.7

Gypsum products-I33.1

Pulp, paper and allied prbducts-I32.2

Concrete products-l29.7

Prepaied paint-198.&

Lum,ber and wood products-l2S.8

Price is an often misunderstood thing. It is the price applied that the customer looks at, not the price per foot. Thus, labor' saving devices and modern tools all help to reduce the price.

An analysis was made in 1958 in Idaho on school construction costs, as follows:

Exterior wall with masonry block and brick veneer-$4.92 per foot.

Wood frame with brick veneer-$3.87 per foot.

Wood frame with wood siding-$2.98 per foot.

3. The biUboard ol qwlity.

As quality timber in terms of large size, straight, fine textured, knot free logs be' comes scarcer, there have been important developments in technology which have in

part made up for the growing deficiency

In tronscribing ilr. Egon's nolcs for thir wrilten lert of his qddrass, we feel fhql we mcy hove lost rome of the chorm ond personol louch of his very effective prcsenlolion. For his cbiliry to od lib, to develop his fhoughrs by edemporoneou3 commenl' is whql oddr "leovec" lo lhe 3lruclurr of lhe lree,

Eorly in his remorks llr. Egon rqid thot he hoc o love for trees, ond o lovc for the peopte who orc in the fbr.3t producls industry. The genuineness of his scnllmenl shown through oll of his words, ond mode him o delight to listen to. Should lhc oppor' tunily ev.r prercnl ltself fo hesr fhir wonderful gentlemon tpeok, don'l miss ill And, olthough lir. Egon oficiolly retired on Oclober lrt, wc believe lhot he ls going lo be qclive for o long, long timc on lurl ruch orsignmentr os this In odvoncing "lhc Wonders of Wood."-*dilor.

A good deal of progress has been made and will continue to be made toward better and closer utilization of lumber by gluing short, narrow pieces into larger members, laminating t'echniques, and in combining lumber with other materials to improve properties and performance of fabricated products. These and other products of technology should not be minimized in apprais' ing the future need for qualitY.

We are no longer limited bY what can be sawn from a tree. Toilay the size of structural timber elements in assembly is limited only by transportation and erection facilities.

NHW HORIZONS

The use of timber as an engineering material has now been extended to new horizons by the improvement of glues and gluing techniques. No longer are we co-n' fined to the lengths and sizes that can be cnt frorn I saw log. Beasn cen be built up for spans of over 100 feet. Arches and spans of over 200 feet are structurally ex' tiemely efrcient since the individual plys are bent as they are glued so that the grain of the wood follows the line of principle stress.

Laminated glued structural units are timbers made up of ordinary boards glued face.to face under uniform pressure of over 100 pounds per square inch. Upon setting the glued joint actually becomes strong€r in reiistance to shearing stresses than the wood fibers in the individual PlYs.

4. The billboard ol limiteil use ol lorest proilu,cts.

We think too often of forest products as lumber we see at the lumber yard and used in construction.

Remember what we said that lumber was 52/o of. the product of the tree, and the balance goes into plywood, plup and other products.

.I was intrigued by a chart produced by the American Forest Products Industries, showing the use of all the products of the tree. These uses were divided into several categories, and with category:

Saw mills and produets.

many uses for each specialty mills--8

Wood distillation plants-I4 products. Wood hydrolysis plants-9 products.

Pulp mills--6 products.

Plywood, veneer mills-7 Products. Hardboard and particle board mills-2 products. -

Tarter, Webster & Johnson Celebrates Ten Years in San Diego with Great Open House

On Friday, November 2, the San Diego area lumber and allied building products distribution yard of Tarter, Webster & Johnson in National City celebrated their tenth anniversary in the district by hold' ing an open house for their retail lumber dealer and wood remanufacturing industrial customers.

The Tarter, Webster & Johnson yard, warehouses and planing mill cover $3/n acres at 1640 Tidelands Avenue in National City. To supply the retail lumber dealers and manu{acturing plants of the San Diego area, including Baja California, all o{ Imperial County including Brawley and El Centro, and Yuma, Arizona, an inventory of 6 million or more {eet of lumber and ll2 million feet of mouldings is kept in stock at all times. The company, which is the largest wholesale lumber distribution yard south of Los Angeles, also specializes in producing timbers with complete facilities for their manufacture and carries t/, million feet of timbers in stock at all times for immediate delivery.

TEN DISTRIBUTION YARDS

The l0 California distribution yards o{ Tarter, Webster & Johnson, of which the National City yard is one, are a division of American Forest Products Corporation which operates 12 sawmills in California and Oregon. In addition to their own source of supply of Sugar Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, White Fir, Cedar and Redwood from their own mills, the National City yard uses the Port of San Diego facilities to receive large amounts of Douglas Fir and other lumber from Oregon mills by barge. They are local distributors and carry a large inventory of many allied building products. For instance, Tarter, Webster & Johnson are San Diego and Imperial County distributors {or all Celotex products.

Interesting figures about the TW&J National City distribution yard are:

T'arter, W'ebster & Johnson's annual business in the San Diego area is $4,000,000 a year. 40 people are continuously employed, including salesmen, warehousemen, planing mill operators and office force.

The concern operates a fleet of 6 trucks, several carriers for dock handling of lumber deliveries, and several lift trucks.

Over 300 San Diego area retail lumber dealers and industrial executives attended the open house in conjunction with the birthday celebration. Tours were conducted through the warehousing facilities and attractive displays were arranged of plywood. Cedar-Bord, Bond-Bord, Celotex and Glasteel products. A hot bufiet luncheon was served continuously during the duy.

From a small office l0 years ago, the present National City operation of Tarter, V'ebster & Johnson has grown to become an integral part of the building, construction and manufacturing industry in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

A first class banquet followed this pleasant interlude and then the party really got going in high gear. Wendell Paquette, a past president of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9, cut loose with a few thousand well chosen words praising the gals-and especially president Shirley Crumpler-for an exceptionally enjoyable evening "on the town".

Door prizes were then awarded, Bunnie Bidwell winning the "basket of cheer", and then it was back to the bar for more antifreeze, or a little twisting on the dance floor with the gal of your choice.

Lumber Groding Mqde Eosy

The loWouing has been submitte.d n us by an anonynous read,er, whose humor, hou)ener, mahes him owr'oFaoorile Contribunr" ol the month.-Edinr

Lumber grade inspectors, with written rules to go hy, differ on how these rules should be expressed. Some prefer the vegetable method; others like numbers and fractions. One observant inspector, with time to kill on an overnight stay in a quiet mill town hotel, put it this way in a nessage to his home office:

I received my copy of the new rules and your definition of defects. I have been studying these and have run into a little problem. fn your definition of a very light machine burn, I notice you mention a black char area of small pea size.

In order that we may all think,alike concerning a small pea, I would like to point out the following facts.

1. There are several kind of peas, namely, green, blaekeyed, field, etc. There are also "goober peas," these are, as you know, really not peas but ordinary peanuts. Also there is a sweet pea, which is of course a flower, and no doubt you didn't have this in mind when writing these definitions.

2. Peas are of various shapes and sizes. As an example, a blackeyed pea is oval or oblong and with practice may readily be eaten with a knife, while a green pea being round tends to roll ofr the knife when lifted from the plate.

3. Is this small pea cooked or raw ? As you are aware a pea when cooked in water tends to swell. This leads me to draw the conclusion that a cooked pea would be somewhat larger than an uncsoked one.

After further consideration and thought, I believe this method of comparing defects to vegetables, fruit and other items, has its merits, as some of us have trouble remembering sizes and defects when expressed in inches or fractions of an inch.

In view of the above facts, I would like to submit the following definition of defects to you for your consideration.

Taxpayers' Money

OF ALL THE LOST CAUS$ I think none is recalled more often than the unsuccessful attempt to do away with the expres_sion o'at government expense" or otpaid for by federal funds" and similar phrases.

$carcely a day paseos but what tlre new+

S'pap"r. report on some project which the

"gon"tn*ent will pay fo}."- Quite often a

politician will explain gleefully to his con-

stituents how_ he has slved them money.

The _new bridge or highway or municipai buildin_g or w[at havJ you will not, says or what have you wrll the politician, cost his beloved taxpayeis anything but a simple fee.

-'lT!" big expense," he tells the audience, "will be taken care of by federal funds.t'

_ Now, except for theii own contribution , ' through personal tax, politicians don't spend := their own money. When the President or the_Congress approved a gift or a loan of millions or billions of do-llars. inside the

i. country or outside, the moirey being spent j" doesn't belong to them. It ijn't Prisiient i Kennedy's money that's being spent, any Aenneoy s berng more than it was President Eisinhowert money or President Truman's money or Q"gIg_" Marshall's money under the Marshall Plan.

A kind of frlple ploy, this. Thir fiine edltoriol by floword Preston, editoriol writer for The Plqln Dealer lClevelcndf, firsf oppecred in the April ll, 196l edition of thor newspaper. ll wor fhen r€prinded in Union Lumber Compony's."The Noyo Chief," irsue of Scp- tdry-Ocdfar, 19$1. Our thcnlc io cfl ior permlsslon $o publl$ lhis in our nogczlne. --Editor.

The money is taxpayers' money; it is your money and mine, and for a long time I have scorched with a slow burn when the loot is referred to as qovernment money.

^ The implication is "when there is a jbint fin_ancing of some project, any part contributed by the federal government is o'found" money. As long as "federal funds" are used, nobody has to pay.

lt seems to me it is about time somebodv put to use known facts of financial life, the most prominent being that there are no such things as federal funds in the sense the government owns money. The governmeni doesn't earn a dime unless iou i.rclude some of the unintentional piofits it makes from its intrusion into business.

Because of this, I have suggested more than once that the phrase "fediral funds'o

be changed to "taxpayers' money.', Instead of accepting a statement that the United !!{91 government is spending $500,000,000 for development of a riveiin South America, I think the American Society of Newspaper Editors ought to .g."e to prittt such an item as follows: "The taxpayels of the United States today sent, etc. I .',

Instead of telling how the federal government is paying for some new building in Catchall, Kansis, through generous loan's at low rates, the item ouglit tJ read, "The taxpay+g_ cililens of 50 states today chipped ! $43,000,000 so that the peopli- in Catchall could have a new downtown development,"

In the first place, I think the people who come up _with the scratch, not thi gents who spend it, should get proper credii. In the second place, drumiring hime the poin! day after day, that there are no 'ofederal" funds but only taxpaying citizens' contributions might cause more people to zipper up the national purse stringl. At least, if migtit get recognition abroad for the hardworking folks who make it possible for our agenti to play Santa Claus.

Federal funds? Nuts. That's our doueh.

@,sgU of @ur frum\s un! [,ugtomor6. o.

The "Wright-Way" for Better Sales-Service-Profits

Wright Lumber Co., 2249 W aterloo Road, Stockton, recently constructed one of its "Wright-Way Homes" at its yard for use as its office as well as a display of one of the firm's prefab homes. Nothern California dealers considenng prefabrication could do well to drop by and talk to owner Bill Wright. Bill has spent a considerable .amount of time, efiort and money during the last three years working out a package house that is complete and practical. Wright has made all oI his own plans, drawings,

$15 Million Public Works Proiect Alloled to Notionol Forests

Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman has announced that $15 million of theAccelerated PublicWorks funds allotted by President Kennedy to the Department of Agriculture has been assigned to National Forest projects now ready to go throughout the Nation.

The $15 million represents an initial allocation by the President to the Department to get work started immediately. Additional funds for other Department projects are expected as proposals are reviewed.

o'Tl"re long-range planning programs of the Department are making it easy for us to swing into action quickly,"theSecretary said, "and I mean within a matter of days in some places. W'e have detailed plans all drawn up.

"Our projects will do more than create immediate employment lvhich is only one of the purposp of this program," the Secretary pointed out. "They will improve and provide for a greater use-of the National Forest resources, thereby revitalizing the economy of many rural areas."

As an example of an Accelerated Public Works Project the Secretary mentioned the construction o{ camp,and picnic grounds, which are needed on National Forests.

etc. and now has packaged homes in resort areas and towrrs in most northern California points.

The complete "Wright-Way" engineered home is sold in any combination of three phases. Phase one includes prefabricated wood floors and wood underfloor materials. It also includes prefab exterior wall, aluminum windows and siding installed, outside doors prehulg in frames and pre-bored for locks, roof lrusses, sheathing, composition shingles, as rvell as exterior trim, bracing and hardware.

Phase two covers interior materials, prehung interior doors, partitions, mouldings, casings, baseboard, medicine cabinet" kitchen sink set, Formica drainboard, dish closets, shelving storage cabinet materials and all interior hardware.

Phase three: complete plurnbing to outside rear includes prefabricated rough plumbing and,/or precut exact, sewer, drainage, water lines and venting system. Also included in phase three: five-foot tub, toilet, basin, sink and an electric 30-gallon water heater,

All Wright-Way homes are engineered to meet or exceed building codes and Wright Lumber will deliver free to the jobsite 200 miles from Stockton.

Men will be needed to prepare the sites, build tables and benches, put in fireplaces, rvater, and sanitary facilities, and construct trails and roads within the area. When completed, new recreation areas will bring business to larmers supplying food and to town shopkeepers who sell camping equipment, other supplies, and service automotive needs.

Other projects planned by the Forest Service are: construction of lookout towers, warehouses, ranger stations, roads and trails, range fencing and reseedingr tree planting and improvement of timberstands. This work will also provide immediate employment and bring long-range benefiF such as a stronger base for local woodusing industries.

Accelerated Public Works Programs will be carried out on 83 National Forests within counties sufiering from substantial and continuous underemployment and une.mployment. Labor for these projects will be recruited through local State Employment offices.

The Department's Forest Service is one of many agencies of the Federal Government which will administer Accelerateil Public W'orks projects. Coordinating the entire program is the Area Redevelopment Administration of the U. S. Department of Commerce.

Woodwork Institute of Cqliforniq Holds Millwork Seminqr in Sqn Diego

In observance of National Forest Products Week, the Woodwork Institute of California sponsored a Millwork Seminar in San Diego on Thursday, October 25,L962.

All the local architects, specification writers and conshuction inspectors were invited as guests of the W.I.C. San Diego members for dinner and the seminar program. It was also held as an official C.S.I. meeting.

At 2 p.m. Thursday, October 25, 1962, the doors opened at Del Webb's beautiful new Ocean House for the first W.I.C. Millwork Seminar ever held in the San Diego area. There were many interesting displays of millwork products by the San Diego area members. The W.I.C. had several displays graphically illustrating the W.I.C. millwork grades of casework, as well as finished lum. ber. In addition, many individual firms had displays of hardwoods, plywoods, doors, etc.

George Cordrey, secretary of the San Diego Lumbermen's Association, and his staff, had ample supplies of literature available from the various lumber trade associations regarding the use of lumber-and millwork in construction.

Joseph Marinello, of University Showcase and Fixture Corp., El Cajon, was general chairman and presided over the afternoon and evening sessions. Over 125 architects were in attendance, as well as 80 members of the millwork and Iumber industry. The afternoon session covered the subject, o'Fire Retardant Treatment oI Lumber and Millwork?', end was disou$ed by Ed PmI, U. S:; fllwood Corporation, Gerald Minser, Albi Manufacturing Co.,Louis Segal, State Fire Marshal's office, and Don E. Johns=on, J. H. Baxter Co.

This was followed by a showing of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association film "Comp"arative Fire Tests on Wood and Steel-Jo_ists", by Wayne,Gardner. After dinner, Al Macy, chairman of the C. S. I. Millwork Committee, discussed the new C.S.I. guide specifications and how the W.I.C. Quality Control Program was of assistance to the specification writer. Eugene Weiczorek, Iegislative Chairman, C.I.A., discussed the necessity of using ihe W.I.C.'s Grade Stamp Program to enable the constructio-n inspectors to determine the quality of the work they inspected.

The new Manual of Millwork and Certification Prosram were discussed by W.I.C. T'echnical Director, Niel Long. -A lengthy and interesting question and answer period followed afte, "acl speaker.

The final speaker of the evening was Jose Fernando Muchado, architect, newspaper publisher and humorist from Brazil, South America. He was introduced by the W.I.C. secretary. Bernie Bar. ber, Jr. His comments and humor were thoroughly Lnjoyed by all those in attendance,

After the W.I.C. Board of Directors Meeting Friday morning President Dick Delacy announced: ooJohn C. Kiner has been appointed W.I.C. Technical Director for the Southern California area and O. E. "Niel" [.rg has been appointed Technical Director for the Northern California area. George Lefler, former Northern California Technical Director, is semi.retiring and will serve the W.I.C. as a Technical Consultant in the future.

ooJohn Kiner has had twenty years experience in the lumber and millwork field. He has been associated with some of the largest millwork firms in Denver and the mid-west and was sales manager for Arrow Mill Co. in hs Angeles, and later when McCoy Plan. ing Mill merged with Dorkin Lumber, became manager of that firm. In these positions he has had the opportunity of calling on architects in several states and aiding them with their millwork specifications.

"Niel Long has been with the W.I.C. in Southern California during the past two years and is returning to his former home in the San Jose area.o'

Believing as I do that stick-to-itiveness is the most important thing in salesmanship, I was glad the other day to stumble over a remark made by the late Calvin Coolidge, when he was President. Coolidge said:

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is filled with edueated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve, the problems of the humanrace.tt

At a time when loafing and spending are almost as highly esteemed in this country as working and saving used to be, those words of the late president are as cooling water rippling through a sylvan nook. A very sensible, very sane, very practical man was thi" Coolidge. And very fine advice to studente oI salesmanehip rire his words on persistence. It simply means the courage to stay in there and pitch, when every lazy bone. in your frame is expostulatingi "Let's call it a day." *

At the same time I enjoyed the remarks of some less eminent

Mory Cbristmas

authority than Mr. Coolidge on the subject of salesmanship. The fellow who sent then to me didn't know the author. But his words have plenty of kick. He says that a successful salesman should have the following qualities:

The curiosity of a cat.

The tenacity of a bulldog.

The determination of a taxi driver.

The diplomacy of a wayward husband.

The patience of a self-sacrificing wife.

The enthusiasm of a teenager.

The friendliness of a child.

The good humor of an idiot.

The simplicity of a jackass.

The assurance of a college boy.

The energy of a collector of pasrdue bills.

The indirect tax is the tax that catches the poor man. The poor man generally objects violently to the a8sessment of a sales tax, because it is a tax he pays directly, AND TIIEREFORE FEELS DIRECTLY, and he says-it is a tai on poverty. He buys a gallon of gasoline and pays the highest tax on earth and never grumbles. The price of so much a gallon seems fair. If the service station attendant said to him, "The gasoline is so many cents and the tax is so many cents," he would raise Hades. The indirect tax is the one that grinds, but the payer doesn't know it.

I heard about a little eight year old girl who wrote a play about early colonial days, which she named ooBetsy Ross." The play went like this: First colonial soldier said to second colonial soldier: "Say! This here country of ours ain't got no flag!" The other replied: 'oGee. Ain't that fierce? Let's go tell the Captain." So they went to the Captain and said: "Say! This here country of ours ain't got no flag!" And the Captain said: "Gee! Ain't that fierce? Let's go tell George Washington." So they went to George Washington and said: "Say! This here country of ours ain't got no flag!" And he said: 'oGee! Ain't it fierce?" Let's go and tell Betsy Ross." So ihey went to where Betsy Ross was doing her housework, and they said: "Say! This here country of ours ain't got no flag!" She said: "Gee! Ain't it fierce? HOLD THE BABY AND I'LL MAKE ONE."

Forest Service Ropidly Exponds Recreqtionql Focilities

The U.S. Department of Agricultureos Forest Service is rapidly expanding camping and picnicking facilities this winter using manpower and funds available under the Accelerated Public Works Program.

The Accelerated Public Works Program, signed into law by President Kennedy Sept. 14, is designed to help in the initiation and speed-up of State, local, and Federal public works projects that will help provide immediate useful work for the unemployed and under-employed in labor surplus areas.

About 5,000 people, previously without a job, have been put to work by the Forest Service since it got the go-ahead signal to start, projects which had been planned under its long-range development program. Many workers are clearing land for new family units for camping and picnicking installing campfire grates, and working on the tables and benches needed.

TYPHOID

In the old days the medical profession believed that a generous supply of cold water was bad for a typhoid patient. And how many people died of thirst before our good doctors found out that water and plenty of it was the best thing for such a patient, the Lord in His infinite mercy only knows. But one day some poor devil who was burning up with fever said to himself : ooW'ell, if I'm going to die anyway, I'm going to get a drink FIRST, see?" So he crawled out of bed to where there was a big pitcher of ice water, and he drained it to the very dregs. And when the frightened family brought the old-fashioned doctor in, he took his temperature and found it was lower; he saw a gentle perspira' tion break out on the forehead of the sick man. But he wouldn't admit the great truth that the Lord Himself was holding before his eyes. He just threw up his hands and exclaimed: ooGood Iord! What a constitution this guyos got!"

Nqtion's Foresters Honor Richqrd E. McArdle

,, An award for outstanding service to 'forestry was presented on October 24 to Richard E. McArdle of Washington, D.C.,

,,at the 62nd annual meeting of the Society of American Foresters in Atlanta. Ga. The f:'' presentation was made by Society Presi; dent Paul NI. Dunn of New York City.

l'il tor of the National Institute of Public Affairs, Washington, D.C., retired March 17 'of this year after l0 years as chief of the l- Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agrii culture, and a total of 39 years of federal ' gervlce.

The medal constituting the award is in honor of t'*L^ late Sir William lSchlich, one-time inspector general of forests in India, later professor of forestry at ford University. During his lifetime Sir William exerted a powerful influence on the advancement of forestry throushout

the English-speaking world.

During Dr. McArdle's tenure as chief, outstanding progress was made by the Forest Service in the administration of the national forests, in forestry researcho and in better management and protection of state and privately owned forest lands. In international forestry he gained distinction by ably representing the United States in world conferences. In 1!)60 he served as president of the Fifth World Forestry Congress, which brought together at Seattle, Wash., sor.ne 2,000 delegates from 70 nations.

A native of Lexington, Ky., Dr. Mc' Ardle was educated at the University. of Michigan where he earned bachelor, master, and doctor degrees in forestry. He is the holder of numerous honorary awards, includine the President's Gold Medal for Distineuished Federal Civilian Service.

Over I l(X) Power Sows ShiPPed to Storm-Stricken Pqcific Northwest

McCulloch Corporation, Los Angeles, has reported that over II00 gasoline enginb powered chain saws have been shipped dur' ing five days of mid-October to areas of the Pacific Northwest battered by the hurricane-force storm,

The saws have been sent on an emergency rush basis, with cooperation from major airfreight carriers, to help clear the hundreds of thousands of trees that were blown down in Washington, Oregon and Northern California. In some instances, the demand has been so great it has equaled a normal year's business for chain saw wholesalers and retail dealers.

This urgent service to the disaster area was effected by long hours and extra-ordi' nary effort on the part of factory and field personnel. McCulloch is a leading national manufacturer of chain saws and other portable power tools.

ticular and the Harbor and Los Angeles in general will be irreplaceable. The material. and personal contributions which he made to so many worthy causes in our community were unique and the void created by his death cannot be filled. Though success had crowned Mr. Kil' stofte's business career, he remained always untouched by material wealth. He lost not the common touch nor did he ever rise above giving a helping hand to those whom he recognized climbine the hill he

himself had climbed. Though the Kilstoftes could have made their home anywhere they might have chosen, they remained here in Wihnington.

This newspaper in making this heart' felt tribute to so wonderful a man, feels inadequate to the task. But, we know we speak this farewell even so for the grateful and grieving people of this community.

We shall not see his likes again soon.

Hail and farewell !

Our thanks to the editor of the Press-lournaL and Harbor Mail, Wil' mington, California, for permission to pu'blish this editorial which appeaied in the November 18 issue of this newspaPer.

Mr. Kilstofte joined the Rossman Lumber Co., became vice president and treas' urer in 1930 and general manager in 1938. He bought out the Rossman interests in 1944 and became its president.

New Forest Produd Retail Display Approach Unveiled

' A nationwide study ofthe changing trend in merchandising display practices of retail g building materials dealers, recently comF pleted by Georgia-Pacific Corp.. has re: sulted in a new "space age" retail display ' prog.a* sponsored by the big forest prod'.: ucts manufacturer.

Retail dealers from all sections of the U.S., plus leading store planners and designers, cooperated in the study, G-P said. Selected from hundreds of sketches and L pilot models are seven master units being made available to dealers this fall.

IThey range from a deluxe model, -. tnounted on wheels and showins 20 full. sized 4x8-foot wall panels and several other types of building materials, to a small sample rack that occupies only three square feet of floor area but holds 20 interchanse1" ,able 2x2-foot samples plus sales promotion ' literature.

The G-P field study of dealers' changing needs and ideas was started more than a year ago. It underlines several interesting merchandising points that have been incorporated in the new point-of-purchase display program, according to E. L. Kimball, Georgia-Pacific's plywood sales promotion manager.

The study underscores severalkey points:

l. There is a strong trend toward display of full-sized wall panels rather than samples.

2. The home planning center is becoming a definite part of retail dealer thinking.

3. There is extensive remodeling or creating of new showrooms by dealers, and a majority want eye-level (or below) fixtures.

4. No single display unit, no matter how versatile, fits a majority of space and selling requirements.

G-P currently is serving more than 15,'000 dealers, Kimball said, of whom more than I,200 have major paneling displays developed by the company, while several thousand more sell from 2x2-foot samples, swatches, wall hangers and similar displays.

He forecast that, with the new "space age" program now being fielded, "the company's retail display exposure will be more than doubled within the next 12 months."

The seven new displays, gleaned from hundreds of designs and prototype models, are:

1. Portable Display Center-This "Cadillac" of the new line has eight swinging wings to display 16 full-size 4x8-foot wall panels, plus four additional panels on the base unit. It also has space for eight ceiling tile samples, literature, photo 'oidea" panels in color, and a perforated 4x8 hardboard back for shelf and hanger display and storage of paint, tools and other allied ma' terials. It is floodlighted and mounted on heavy castors for easy moving. Height is 105 inches, width 72 inches and depth 65 inches, including clearance for swinging panels.

2. Gondola-This space saver holds 20 interchangeable 2x2-foot panel samples with 2/s of its space available for tie-in merchandise display and storage. A perforated header allows display of additional tie-in materials. It is 66 inches high,72t/2 inches wide and only 24 inches deep.

3. Multiplex 248This holds 24 fullsize 4xB wall panels in 12 wings, all interchangeable. Each wing is equipped with roller separators. Wall mounted, it takes only 33 inches of wall space. It is either 105 or 99 inches in height, depending on use of 7 or 8-foot panels, width 33 inches and depth 54 inches.

4. Revolving Multiplex Floor StandHolds 12 panels 2x8-foot, revolves easily, is 110 inches high including removable header, and has a diameter of only 54 inches.

5. Multiplex l2E-Wall hung, it holds 12 full-size panels, is either 106 or 99 inches high depending upon use of 7 or 8-foot panels, 2I inches wide (wall area) and requires a 74-inch depth for clearance o{ swinging panels.

6. Counter or Wall-Hung Display-This economy unit holds 16 samples 16x18 inches and is only 45 inches high, 3l inches wide when open, and requires only 19 inches in depth for full clearance.

7. Floor Display Rack-Smallest of all, it requires only three square feet of floor area, is easily moved and holds 20 samples of factory finished wall paneling 2x2 (Continued, on Page 59)

Lumber Trqde Mission .To Promole Europeon Morkets

A do-it-yourself lumber trade mission will visit Europe and United Kingdom in under the auspices of the West Coast ,:Lumbermen's Association in a unique pro;gram to open up new markets for west coast lumber.

The privately financed lumber trade will spend at least a month in the lfarkct countries and in the $United Kingdom. It will include both sales I exprrts in the exporting lusiness and pro.'duction executives at sawmills interested in the exporting field.

Although this is not a government financed mission, officials of the Commerce Department will cooperate fully with the west coast lumbermen.

While the lumber mission will be made up of representatives of individual companies, information collected will be made available to other members of the association, said G. C. Edgett, executive vice president of WCLA.

There are a lot of things our industry needs to know about the utilization of softwood lumber in Europe, Edgett remarked. This group will interview agents, importers, re-manufacturers and industrial users of lumber on the trip, he said. We want to lj. find out about the possibility of opening

up a market in Europe for merchantable lumber as well as rough green clears. We want to find out if those countries, mainly France, Germany, Italy, Holland and England, will use lumber in other than the sizes they have customarily used, which present many problems to our mills in manufacture.

In short, Edgett pointed out, we want to find out whether there is a worthwhile market in Europe for west coast lumber manufactured in the U.S. and sold in competition with lumber cut in Russia, the Scandinavian countries and, of course, Canada.

The board of trustees of WCLA in Portland approved the European do-it-yourself lumber trade mission after it was approved by the association's import-export committee.

The lumber mission will receive a weeklong briefing in Washington, D.C., prior to departure for Europe. A Commerce Department specialist, as well as a representative of WCLA, will precede the mission to Europe and set up interviews, meetings and arrange schedules to conserve the time of the larger group and get maximum results. A Commerce Department official will also act as advisor to the group while it is in Europe.

Edgett said the WCLA board of {rustees had also tentatively approved a similar trade mission to Japan and Australia later in the spring of 1963 if it appears the European venture is a success. These four areasEurope, United Kingdom, Japan and Australiaare the four most likely areas for development of additional volume of west coast lumber sales, Edgett pointed out.

All members oI the Los Angeles Committee for "The Week" worked long and well to make this annual promotion a success. General chairman Dee Essley and co-chairman Jim Forgie did an outstanding job of producing a smooth operation, and Leonard Crofoot, to whose lot fell the job of gathering in oothe green sheaves". did his work so well that there even remained a tidy surplus. Stella Roach of the Los Angeles Home Furnishings Mart, who handled the publicity for the promotion, is to be especially commended for placing a substantial quantity of publicity in the local papers.

Prospecls For lncreqsed Trqde

Statistics on softwood lumber consumption presented at the 20th session of the Timber Committee of the European Economic Com' mission, held in Geneva, Switzerland, contain prospects for in' creased trade between U. S. timber producers and W'estern European customers.

Heavy construction programs presently under way in many European countries will continue in 1963, and the Committee reports from 23 nations attending indicate European softwood lumber needs by 1975 will show a 50 per cent increase, advancing from a present level of 9.5 billion board feet to approximately 14 billion board feet.

Opportunities for U. S. lumber sales are greater in special widths and lengths than in bulk volume because Soviet. Polish and Scandinavian sources are capable of filling present needs in smaller dimension markets.

Europe's consumption of softwood lumber in 1962 is running ahead of original estimates. The 9.5 billion board feet to be used in construction this year represents an increase of a half-billion board feet estimated at the beginning of the year. The outlook for 1963 anticipates a maintenance of present volume'

Prices for boih hardwood and softwood lumber are not expected to show significant changes from present levels.

Leadingf softwood lumber importing nations in the Europ-ean market aie United Kingdom, g'Z bi[ion board feet; West Ger' many, I.5 billion board feet; Italy, I billion.board feet, and the Netherlands, 900 million board feet. The USSR will again be Europe's leading export€r of lumber in 1962, shilping T, g.s-ti' -"t"d 2.5 billioi board feet to European customers. Finland holds second place with 1.9 billion feet, and Sweden is third with l'8 billion board feet'

The history of the Hirsch name in the lumber business is teresting. ThL first generation was engaged in saw milling Ellaville"on the Suwanee River in Florida right after the civil war ended. Gradually, as their timber became scarce' they {ound them' selves in the wirolesale lumber business and moved their headquarters to New York City. The old Hirsch Lumber Company -ade a sale to the city of New York corirprising the first water shipment from the Caliiornia River of Fir (then known as Oregon Pine) to be brought around Cape Horn in a sailing vessel'-

The member. Jf th" new firm are respectively the third and fourth generation of the family actively engaged in the lumber industrf. Hirsch Lumber Company will specialize in Vestern and Southein soft wood lumber and Plywood' The new firm is aware of the state of flux in which the lumber industry finds itself today and they do not intend to dwell upon their enviable history of bygone times but rather to take creative steps in intelligently merchandising and distributing forest products. One of the greatest Hirsch assets is their friendly relationship with so many first class mills centered throughout the West coast of the United States and Canada as well as the deep south. The reception received during the first few weeks o{ activity has exceeded expectations and shows every indication of a promising future.

Big Solvoge Job Underwoy

The hurricane that struck the Pacific Northwest in mid-October downed an estimated 3 billion board feet of timber in Oregon and Washington alone, West Coast timber companies report. Many firms are now working frantically to save as much of the downed tiimber as possible before insects take over.

The Big Wind marched up the coast, striking at northern California, Oregon and Washington, maiming large sections of forest along the way, finally blowing itself out as it reached Canada. It 'broke windows, uprooted and shattered trees, ripped roofs from houses and created a snarl of downed power and telephone wire that took more than two weeks to restore completely. Whipping fire from mill waste burners, it destroyed forest industry plants in several lumber communities.

It took foresters days of flying to evaluate the mess on the ground throughout the region's commercial timberlands.

Of the total downed timber, some 850 million board feet is on private lands, 803 million on national forests and 1,023 million on BLM holdings.

Forest land managers are reported regearing their timber harvests schedules and shifting logging crews into stricken ar€as to get the big salvage job underway. Clearing access roads to get equipment onto the ground is the first step in the task.

Foresters hailed the Pacific Northwest's growing network of forest access roads as a vital aid in the job ahead. Roads, they pointed out, are the key to getting at the scattered, downed timber before the bugs get it.

Forest industries are pushing salvage work to get at the fallen trees before the fir bark beetles arrive at the scene. Entomologists predict that additional billions of board feet of timber may be lost if the great volume of downed timber becomes host material for epidemic proportions of insects. Foresters also observed that weak-

ened roots and open scars from limb breakt age caused by the storrn to timber still. standing will take an additional toll of treeg.l during the winter months ahead.

One major company that experienced heavy damage on iis Tree Farmlands re. i ported it hoped to recover about 75 percent of its downed timber. A company spokes. man said the downed timber would be absorbed in the normal production schedule of its numerous mills.

. A leading chain saw manufacturer rushed Il00 powered chain saws to com...,_ mercial outlets in the stricken areas to help i meet equipment needs,

Cabinet Association Rewards Safety Records

Safety trophies and plaques for 12 member firms were awarded at the recent meeting of the Southern California Association of Cabinet Manufacturers.

The awards, donated by Simmons Hardwood Company, were presented to the winners by Roy Stilwell, Simmons general manager, in the absence of hospitalized Sid Simmons. Happily, reported Roy Stillwell, donator Simmons is through surgery and is well on the mend.

Companies winning trophies were:

The handsome, modern trophies were fronted with a bright-metal strip designatirg them as the Southern California Association of Cabinet Manufacturers Safety Award, followed by the date 196l-1962,

the company name and in small type at the bottom the donator's name. The plaques were similar in desien. Both had an encircled green cross on a white background with the word SAFETY across the center.

Three new active memberships and one associate membership were voted. Williamson Cabinet Door Division, Compton, Emil Benson Cabinet Shop, Covina and Morgan Cabinet Shop, Vilmington were voted to active membership. New associated member is Elkay Manufacturing Co.

A report on the association's new contract with the union was heard alone with other business.

The Stimson Lumber Company of Forest Grove, Oregon, has announced the starting of a new redwood subsidiary operation, the Miller Lumber Company, in Crescent City, Calif.

Construction of a sawmill and facilities on Mill Creek near Crescent City is to start immediately, and is scheduled for completion late in 1963.

The new operation will obtain its principal log supply from the large timber tract controlled by Rellim Redwood Company located in the immediate vicinity. The timber will be harvested on a sustainedyield basis and the new plant's sawmill capacity will be gauged to fit the sustained cutting program. The new sawmill, complete with drying facilities, will be the initial unit of manufacture in the timberharvesting operation.

Harold A. Miller, President, stated that currently much emphasis and work are being carried irut by the Forest Fiber Products Co. (producers of FOREST Hardboards), another subsidiary of Stimson Lumber Company, on the utilization of Redwood residue form the sawmill and logging operations. According to Miller, the research is directed towards a fully integrated and diversified operation utilizing Redwood sawdust, bark and fiber. Research is progressing in the development of products other than building materials.

New Sawmill for Stimson Lumber Company Will Be Known as ltiller lumber Company

The manager of the new operation is Darrell Schroeder, who is also currently manager of the Rellim Redwood Company.

The engineering and construction work will be under the supervision of Bud Keeney of the Fisher Marcola Company, Eugene, Oregon.

The Stimson Lumber Co. purchased its oiiginal timber in the Forest Grove, Oregon area as early as 1885. Construction of the present mill was started in 1930 and the first logs were sawed Oetober 13, 1933, just two months after the devastating Tillamook fire.

The company was one of the largest land owners in the Tillamook burn area and a substantial part of its timber land was swept over by one of tlre worst {orest fires in recorded history of the United States. The company immediately turned to the problem of utilizing timber damaged in the fire. Stimson Lumber Company was the first to begin actual salvage operations in the burn area. In August, 1933, when the first logs from the burn area were dumped into the pond from railroad carts clouds of steam arose because of the internal heat trapped and retained in the logs.

The sawmilling operation started in 1933 and ran head-on against the problem of

utilizing as much of the damaged timber as possible.

The first attempt to overcome this prob. lem was achieved when a chemical engineer, hired 'by the company, developed a wood plastic. The new product was used to patch and upgrade lumber products. This original wood plastic has been further developed into a high-quality product and is packaged under the name, Fil-Tite. Today it is used by many of the plywood and door factories on the coast to upgrade their products. It is now manufactured in every wood color.

As an increasing amount of waste from the burnt timber appeared, additional effort was directed into research and planning. Some method had to be ,introduced to utilize more of the small parts of the log and the ends of lumber. There was good sound wood in these pieces, but it was not marketable as lumber. The result of this planning was the decision to build a hardboard plant.

In May oL 1949 the first panel of hardboard (tradename, FOREST Hardboard) was produced in the new plant. In the 14 years that the hardboard plant has been in operation its personnel have been instru(Continued, on Page 60)

mental in many important hardboard advances, and they have been first with many NEIV hardboard products

As the economics of the lumber business changed, the principals took a third step to produce greater utilization of the timber. They found that a better conversion resulted in peeling certain logs into veneer rather than sawing them into lumber.

After further investigation and planning, a veneer plant was constructed and put into operation in 1956. With the addition of the veneer plant to the plastic wood and hardboard divisions of the sawmill, a completely integrated operation was realized. GonL are the days of the waste pit and burner, and in their place are the reserve fuel storage and pulp chip supply.

The overall operation of the Stimson Lumber Company-Forest Fiber products operating divisions now utilizes l0O% oI the tree's wood and lumber. The Forest Grove operation employs some 350 people with an annual payroll near $2 million.

_-The refining and final-stage processes in all future units to the Miller Lumber Co. will probably be located in the immediate vicinity of the proposed mill near Crescent City, Calif.

They've Been Shipping a Lot of Plywood!

There was cause for a special celebration recently at the W'illamette Valley Lumber Company plant at Dallas, Ore. It was the occasion of the shipping oI the lr/+ billionth {oot of Teco-Tested plywood by Willamette and four other associated plants in less than a four-year period.

One and one-quarter billion feet of plywood, figured on a 3/g-inch basis, is a lot of plywood any way you figure it. If the panels were laid end to end, it would be a continuous strip of more than 60,000 miles. This would make quite a wooden walk into outer space, if scientists could find some way to support it.

Other plants which help turn out this large production of Teco-Tested plywood are the S-illamette National Lumber Company, also of Dallas; Western Veneer & Plywood Company, Albany, Ore., and Santiam Lumber Company, with plants at Sweet Home and Lebanon, Ore.

The five plants are producing about 600 cars of Teco-Tested plywood monthly, or an average of 30 a day.

Four years ago this fall, the "TecoTested" quality control process was inaugurated. At that time this group of plywood mills felt the need for a day-to-day inplant grading and testing service by an independent organization. Timber Engineering Company, W'ashington, D.C., performs testing procedures in accordance with FHA to assure compliance with its standards. Teco technicians are stationed at each plant.

The technicians are employees of Teco

and are occasionally shifted from plant to plant. The manufacturer also knows that tests are being made continually at his plant.

Since the inauguration of the program, Teco has established a regional laboratory

at Corvallis, Ore., and other West Coast softwood plywood plants have joined in the program. The coveted Teco grade stamp, earned only after passing rigid inspection, now appears annually on upwards to l0 million feet of plywood. I

Burning Chqrqcteristics of Cross Piles of Wood

.summary: The burning ol cross pilcs ol uood. ot the National Bureanr ol Snnd'ards is one ol the initial, steps in an ouerall inaestigation of the use ol rnod'els to stud,y the d,eaelopm,ent and, growth ol fires in buildings. Su,ch expeimen'Is are intend,ed to increase the und,erstand,ing, ol the mechanism inud,ueil in the spread, ol fires anil should, grearl'y redace the number ol more expensiae full'rcale tests required.

Lack of basic knowledge regarding growth and propagation of fires in building structures has hampered efiorts to evaluate the true degree of hazard represented by flammable interior finish materials. As part of a long range r'gsearch program intended to provide technical information on fire growth phenomenao the National Bureau of Standards has recently completed preliminary experiments involving the controlled burning of simple, symmetrical cross piles or "cribs" of wood of varying sizes. Daniel Gross, of the NBS staff, has conducted such experiments to study the effect of the model parameters involved in fire propagation.V Thus far, the work indicates the possibility that siinple models may eventually be useful in analyzing fires in enclosed rooms and buildings.

A recent study by the Committee on Fire Research of the National Academy of Sci- ' enees --- National Research 'Council, has spurred research in fire investigation. Funds made available to NBS for fire re-

search will be used for both theoretical and experimental investigations of ignition, combustion, and fire growth phenomena, and the detection, inhibition and extin' guishment of fires.

,YIATERIATS STUDIED

Douglas fir, a common building mate' rial, was used tnost extensively in the cross pile tests. Limited use was also made of balsa, mahogany, and ash to determine the effects of density and thermal properties on maximu.m rates of burning. Sticks of square cross section varying from 0.16 to 9.15 centimeters were used. The length of the stick in each case was l0 times its width. Sticks of the same size were stacked in layers with cticks in adjacent layers at right angles. Ten layeri were used to make a cubical stack. The number of sticks in each layers of a particular test crib was constant; however the' number of stieks per layer was changed with each test in order to examine the efiect of porosity.

The cribs were ignited by burning eithernormal heptane or alcohol in a square pan beneath the fuel pile. AII tests were con. ductcd within a high-ceilinged closed roorn to minimize the effects of wind and draft. The crib weights were recorded before, during, and after burning. Measurements were also made of flame height, temperatures, and radiant intensity.

RESUlTS

Data gathered from the series of experiments showed a definite sequence of buining: (a) The ignition stage, characterized by a gradually :ncreasing weight loss per unit time, (b) the active combustion stage, corresponding to a maximum'and relatively constant rate of weight loss, and (c) the decay stage resulting in the collapse of the pile and the exhaustion of burning, Information from the series of cross pile experiments can be considered in terms of the maximum r6te of weieht loss andporosity factor.

The Wonders of Wood (Continu,ed, lrom Page 4)

We have a total of 6l products with hundreds of uses.

Paper was first made by the Chinese in 105 AD. The first paper mill in this country was established near Philadelphia in 1690. Today 700 paper and pulp mills in the U.S. are producing nearly one-half of the world's paper and pulp.

In 1960 the paper consumption of every man" woman and child in the U.S. was 431 pounds each. It is interesting to look at paper consumption of other countries in the world (1960 figures):

Canada-28O lbs. per capita.

Sweden-265 lbs. per capita.

United Kingdom-236 lbs. per capita.

Denmark-I98 lbs. per capita.

Switzerland-I95 lbs. per capita.

Norway-l8O lbs. per capita.

New Zealand-176 lbs. per capita.

And Russia is 36th, with 33 lbs. per capita.

It is said that there are over 5,000 products made from wood. In thinking about that in preparing these notes, I

.€lsrted to list some of the products I live with everv dav that are made of wood:

'We have looked behind four billboards that too many people notice on the highways-the billboard of short supply, the billboard of high price, the billboard of

poor quality and the billboard of decreasing use of wood products. A summary of what I have said, and of some things time does not permit me to say, is well worded by Robert W. Olin, a wood technologist with Potlatch Forest Inc., in Lewiston, Idaho. Under the heading of a paper, ooWood Is Good", Olin says,

"If wood were discovered today, it would startle the world. Mankind has lived with this odiscovery' so long that it is too often taken for granted.

"This new material is available in vast quantities.

"The supply renews itself so the product will always be available.

o'It is strongly competitive in cost.

"It will not shatter when struck. Its resilience permits it to absorb shocks that would rupture or break other materials.

"It has fine natural insulating qualities.

o'It can be produced in large sizes. It can be readily worked into items of exceptional delicacy. It stands up ruggedly under abuse.

'oWhen properly used it will last indefinitely. Left in its natural state, it ofiers an infinite variety of beautiful patterns.

tPainted, it presents a smooth, attractive, enduring surface.

'olt responds to manipulation with the simplest of tools and may be employed repeatedly.

"It is relatively light in weight, yet possessed of great strength.

"There is a reason why wood has remained a primary construction material for thousands of years. The reason is simply that no competitive material has all the advantages of wood,

"A great many things are happening to wood, and the end is not yet in sight.

IAAN'S BEST FRIEND

Wood is man's best friend, Let us consider a few of the countless instances wherein man has been inextricably related to wood.

The Colonies' first exports to England were wood-Our first president lived in a

wooden house-Lincoln's log cabin was made of white oak- Lincoln split black walnut into rails-The wheels that carried settlers to the West had oak spokes and hickory rims. The English Navy sailed to some of its greatest victories in the lSth Century in ships with masts and yards of New England white pine.

A tree has the power of reproduction and the power to repair injuries and go on with a stout heart. It can overcome obstacles, split rocks apart, travel far in thirsty search for water, It can adjust to circumstances. It can endure with an immortality all its own.

Wooden piles under the streets of Venice have been found intact after 1.000 vears. White cedar in the swamps of eastern Virginia has laid buried an estimated 3,000 years-yet is being dug up today and sawed into boards that may last another l,(X)0 years.

Each tree is an individual; no two are alike, nor two boards from the same tree. Each piece of wood with its grain and rings is as difierent as your finger prints are from those of anyone else in the world. Wood reminds us, in its pliancy and resilience, of human flesh and, yes, evm human spirit.

Say if you like, wood has no thoughts and no tongue to speak them. But let him who says this, look into his own heart and produce for us a thought that will warm the hearth of a friend. or endure 1.000 years.

Let me conclude simply by giving you Joyce Kilmer's famous poem, "Trees."

"I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree,

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree."

Weyerhoeuser Estoblishes Automoted Ordering System

The first one-step automatic order transmission system in the lumber industry was presented to retail lumber dealers by Weyerhaeuser Company at the ninth annual convention of NRLDA in Chicago Ocr.20-23.

Purpose of the system: to cut to 24 hours the time to transmit to the producing mill, a dealer's order {or lumber. plywood and other wood products of the firm. The speed-up means faster service to dealers; important, too, the automation assures greater accuracy since rewriting of orders is eliminated.

And the system also permits fast message communication between area sales offices across the nation, Tacoma, Wash. headquarters, and producing mills for speedy handling of inquiries.

Now in {ull operation, the circuit uses 15'500 miles of leased wires, a complex of sending and receiving equipment at Tacoma headquarters, 50 teletype machines and 28 Flexowriter machines' It also consum,es thousands o{ feet of punched paper tape a day for electronic transmission and automatic duplication of orders in various offices for order control and shipment scheduling.

All of the 27 Weyerhaeuser area sales offices, the wood products manufacturing plants, and the Tacoma communications center are connected by the system.

Though based upon the now-familiar teletype communications method, the new fast-and-sure automated ordering system incorporates a major refinement. An electronic Flexowriter makes possible (t) transmission of the order in final form, (2) printing of multiple copies on actual order forms, and (3) the cutting of duplicate tapes for re-transmission to achieve maximum efficiency of the circuits.

Then, too, the transmission rate has been upped to 100 words a minute, more than 50/o iaster than by older methods.

Many Northwest timber-owners and foresters have yet failed to recognize the emergence of red alder from the status of a o'weed tree" to that of a recognized and valuable commercial species. Those who handle their timberlands for luture use, rather than {or the past, are quite generally interested in retaining this multi-purpose species.

CATIFORNIA IUTIIER MENCHANT

An early protot)?e of our modern credit was England's pawnbrokers who loaned money on valuables left with them in trust. An ancient version o{ our present day lenders. I'm sure that those early day lend' ers never realized that credit would blossom out into what we accept today as a basic part of Americas' economy. Credit has come a long way.

In that age when credit was still young, certain more daring retailers took up the practice of selling merchandise on a "buy now and pay later" basis. They too re' quired security in many forms and penalties for not paying were severe. The decision to penalize dead-beats in those days may be the origin of our present day laws that are not as severe but give todays creditors some privilege to collect through the courts.

Although history proves otherwise, it is believed by many merchants that credit is a twentieth century development and the time for experimentation is past if adequate control of receivables is to be maintained. They stop right there. Far too many retailers fail to recognize that credit merchaadlsing is e profession-an exact science-as practiced by the skilled credit man or woman. In my opinion, there are far nrore consumers who are ttcredit-wise" than-by comparison-there are retailers "credit sales wise."

To substantiate my opinion, original computation of unsecured receivables in 5 building supply outlets I have assisted in recent months showed over $71&936'00 on the books. Nearly a million dollars. Further analysis revealed $401,851.00 delin' quentover 56/o of their receivable investment overdue.

The Srufi Thql Trends Are Mode Of

One of the most significant qualities of the Red Cedar shingle is its adaptability to new trends in residential design. Thisperhaps more than any other thing-has assured the shingle of continuing popularity.

From stylish mountain cabins to the rambling homes of the Pacific Southwest; from traditional and stately Midwest architecture to the wild and yacky spiraling Vacation, Village of San Diego, California, the Red Cedar shingle has proved itself versatile and increasingly in demand.

If you look carefully around you, there are new trends and trends that are not so new at all. The shingle sidewall, long a traditional favorite in New fingland, is finding its way into Cali fornia architectuie. In the Facific Northwest, high pitched roofs are once again in vogue, cornpeting with low, flat roofed homes that sprang up so swi{tly in the 1950's

, In the midst of this, the Red Cedar shingle and grooved sidewall shake continue to capture the fancy of architects, builders and homeowners. There ape good.Feasons: firpt, the cedar shingle is a natural product, cut from the light, strong Red Cedar log. It has the rugged textures and cleair lines that appeal to the aesthetic sense. Beyond beauty, there is dirrability. Red Cedar shingle

roofs will last the lifetime of a house in many areas of the country, most of them maintenance free. A third quality is resistance tqi,r the elements of nature, which goes hand in hand with a earned repuation as "nature's best insulator."

Versatility, beauty, durability, rugged any trend is made of.

Dear Ole:

Will jo0 kindly change the mailing address for my Merchant to my new address? Gotta have the Merchant, or how would I ever be able to keep track of my lumber friendslike Bill Stuart, for instance. I'd have to address them at Little Joe's Club, if I didn't have the Merchant.

I will continue to sell hardwoods from Arizona Hardwood Inc., whenever I can, but my main sales have always been soft woods, and they do not handle that to any extent, so I found that I was devoting too much of my time to waiting on "drop-in-ers" at the plant, and not enough time outside selling my other lines, so decided to move out of the Watkins location. :

Besides, I am entirely too young to be cooped up-I need fresh air and exercise, OF ALL KINDS, if you follow me, lantern jaw.

l',Stolement by Mr. leonqrd L. Frqnk President, Notionol Associofion of Home Builders On lssuonce of Executive Order on Housing

As home builders, we shall do our best to fulfill our responsibilities and duties as citizens in relation to the new Executive Order. The Government, the nation's communities and their people have similar responsibilities.

, We do not believe the blemishes of our society can be erased by Executive Order. What is required are skill, toleranci, patience, understanding and education.

- The issuance of the Order now places the burden of acceptance squarely up to the people in our communities all across the nation.

The Federal Government, too, cannot forego its responsibilities in this tremendous social problem. Its full resources must be used to lessen the impact on our nation's economy.

The President and his advisers, we feel sure, studied a recent NAHB survey sent to the W'hite House concerning the possible economic impact of an Executive Order against racial discriminaia housing.

The survey reflected the opinion of many builders throughout the country that such an Order would cause a cutback in housing

production, have an adverse eflect on the entire economy and, consequently, on jobs and incomes.

We fear the health of the home building industry may be sapped by the Executive Order. Any diminution oI home building's vigor, of course, will hurt other arteries of the nation's economy.

The White House apparently arrived at conclusions other than those found in the survey. For the economic and social welfare of the country, we would hope that the President's assumptions prove correct.

U. S. Plywood Comes Through On Huge Emergency Plywood Order

Ten days after the island of Guam emerged from the worst typhoon in its history, with 90 per cent of the civilian buildings on the island destroyed or rendered useless, the backlash of the storm struck the Northwest plywood industry.

It came in the form of an emergency order from the Navy in November for 2 million feet of plywood for delivery to the SS Canadian Bear in ,Oakland, necessitating assombly of the entire order within 48 hours.

According to Niedermeyer and Martin of Portland, the firm

And Best Wishes For 1963

which placed the order, United States Plywood Corporation was the only firm in the industry which could fill the bill.

Harry Ryback, manager of the company's West Coast Purchasing office in Eugene, got the order at 9 p.-. on a Saturday. Working virtually around the clock Ryback and his stafi surveyed stocks in the company's own and contract mills. Special production crews were organized at various points on Sunday. The first trucks rolled out of Oregon for Oakland dockside SunCay a{ternoon. By Monday night the balance of the order was on hand at various loading docks, and the last truckload involved reached the Oakland dockside Wednesday night.

o'It was the toughest problem in logistics we ever encountered," Ryback said, oobut we came through on time thanks to the complete cooperation of the trucking companies, our own mill managements and the contract mills who participated in the order. We never could have done it without the unique organization the company

Mhas developed over the past several years lor dovetailing market'i requirements with mill capabilities." ,i

U. S. Plywood, which is the world's largest distributor of build- 1; ing materials, markets about 14 per cent of the Northwest plywood industry's output. The company produced approximately 65 perli cent of the order with the balance coming from its regular sources 1. of outside supply. Thirty-nine truckloads from 12 mills were involved in the delivery.

According to U. S. Plywood officials, the order may largest shipment ever assembled in one 48-hour period. normal conditions the .order would have required three weeks to process.

Solvoy Process Producls Chemicql

35-50%

Better for Fighring Fires

Allied Chemical's Solvay Process Division today announced new facilities for the first domestic production of technical grade potassium bicarbonate. a chemical with exceptional fire quenching properties.

Wilbur H. Brumfield, division president, said the _finely powdered product, used as a base in dry chemical fire extinguishers, will be made at Solvay,s Syracuse plant.

Other potential commercial uies for tech- nical grade potassium bicarbonate which

U. S. consumers have had to import from Europe, include detergent formulations, cleaning compounds, blowing agents in rubber and plastics, dusting agent for plastic sheeting, fertilizer compounds and leather tanning.

Field demonstrations have indicated this type potassium bicarbonate is from 30 to 50 percent more effective than existing dry chemicals in combatting flammable liquids such as gasoline and oil.

Mr, Brumfield said the "growing need for potassium-based chemicals for a multiplicity of purposes has become apparent

in recent years."

Solvay, serving as a leading supplier of potassium alkalies for many years, has' added the bicarbonate to help fill industry needs," he added.

Solvay's new product technical grade :'i potassium will be shipped from the Syrdcuse plant in bulk and 100Jb. bags.

Solvay Process, first United States Company to offer a domestic source for technical grade potassium bicarbonate, established the nation's alkali industry in 1881 when it constructed the country's first soda ash plant.

lmpoct of Notionol Standordizotion

Twenty-nine Northern California lumber mill executives dis' cussed the irnpact of national standardization of lumber grades on the redwood and Douglas fir industries at.a special meeting o{ the Redwood Inspection Service in Santa Rosa, Monday, November 19.

RIS President Harry Merlo of Rockport Redwood Company introduced the speakers, who included Philip T. F4rnsworth, Secretary of RIS; Gerald F. Prange, Vice President, Technical Services Division, National Lumber Manufacturers Association; Kenneth Smith, Business Consultant; and Russell Ells, President of the Willits Redwood Products Company and a member of the NLMA Executive Committee.

Mr. Farnsworth spoke in the absence of Carl W. Bahr, Vice President of The Pacific Lumber Company and chairman of the American Lumber Standards Committee. He gave a brief outline of the Committee's procedures. Mr. Prange told the lumber executives how the proposed standardization of grades would affect the merchandising of lumber.

Mr. Smith said that redwood's grade standards were ahead of the rest of the lumber industry, and warned that acceptance of standard grades might mean that the redwood industry would be going backward to the level of grading of other species.

Mr. Ells was asked to give the producer's viewpoint. He said that standardization of grades was a natural result of industry trends.

At a discussion in the afternoon, the lumbermen agreed in general to keep watch on developments in the field. It was pointed out that it would be at least two years before any grade changes would begin to take efiect, and that RIS could keep its own grade names and sizes as long as these equalled or surpassed national standards. All persons present, and all other interested parties, were invited to send their opinions on grade standardization to RIS Secretary Philip T. Farnsworth, 5T6 Sacramento Street, San Francisco 11, California, before the December l0 meeting of the RIS Board of Directors.

Conodion Lumber Produclion Running Aheqd of Previous Peok Yeor, soys Bonk of Novo Scotio

Canadian lumber production for the first eight months oI 1962 was ahead of its previous peak year 1960 and was ll per cent higher than comparable 1961 figures, according to a recent analy' sis of the industry by The Bank of Nova Scotia's Economic Department.

"In the first eight months this year, estimated production (of Canadian lumber) totalled about 6,089 million board feet, up roughly ll/o irom the comparable period in 196I (5,477 million board feet) and an appreciable increase over 1960 (5,677 million board feet) the previous peak year for lumber production," the bank reported.

New residential construction in the spring and summer months coupled with increased activity in industrial and commercial construction during the middle of the year were determining {actors in the increased production. The Bank cautioned, however, that "seasonally adjusted estimates of spending on new housing indicate a somewhat flat trend in housebuilding activity and a similar levelling off has taken place in non-residential construction suggesting that lumber demand for house-building purposes will remain at about the same level throughout ther final months of this year."

Canadian Iumber exports haye inbreased this year over year earlier levels, according to the liank's'report. Higher demand for Canadian lumber in the important U.S. market accounted for almost all of. the l3/o gain in total exports during the first seven months oI 1962.

Building Stondqrds Commission

Directors of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce have urged the City Council to establish a Building Standards Commission for correlating and eliminating overlapping building regulations.

A resolutioh calling for a commission composed of representation from the construction industries and similar to that used by the State has been forwarded to the Mayor and City Council.

John Case, chairman of the Chamber's Construction Industries Committee, in announcing the Board's decision, said, "There are at least 15 different departments in the city now writing these ordinances, often without apparent regard for existing regulations of other departments.

"One set of rules can virtually eliminate the conflict that exists and save the taxpayer, as well as the construction industry, great sums of money," he added.

Case said modern codes must be a product of constant research devoted to the evaluation of new products and building methods.

ooModern regulations must have flexibility so that these new products and methods may be used as soon as they are practical and safe," he said.

"The review of building regulations by one central agency, in full cooperation with

all concerned, would present requirements which are practical and safe standards," he added.

Case pointed out that often inspectors from one city department refuse to accept standards another department has established, thereby causing loss of time and money to both contractors and the city.

Noturolly Termile Resistont

When taking precautions against termites, one should not forget that there are two species of commercially available softwoods-California redwood and Tidewater red cypress-that are naturally termite resistant. Naturally resistdnt to rot also, they are ideal for use close to the ground where decay and insect hazard is the greatest. Only the heartwood of either species contains the substances w.hich discourage termites.

The manufacturers of redwood and cypress lumber do not, of course, claim complete immunity from termite damage for their wood. Ilut the record is amazing. An all-redwood building built in the tropics by the U.S. Department of Agriculture resisted all insect attacks for sixteen years (when it was smashed by a falling tree) while scientists counted 45 different species of termites in other species in the area.

For this reason, redwood is widely used

in the tropics and in sections of the United States where the termite hazard is high. In Hawaii and Florida. architects have found they can have the traditional warmth of wood, safely, by specifying redwood for homes. In Florida, redwood is coming into wide use as supplies of the native Tide. water red cypress decrease.

The California Redwood Association, in its data sheet No. 2D2 "Durability of Red. wood" (available free from Dept. PF9 California Redrvood Association. 756 Sacramento Street, San Francisco ll, California) cautions that proper constiuction methods must be followed when the heard wood o{ a durable species is used. Thq Association advises builders to remember these points:

I. Clear all wood debris from the sitei especially from foundation and crawl spaces.

2. Provide for positive site and building drainage.

3. Separate from known moisture sourcea ' to prevent excessive abdorption, allow for peiiodic insepction, and provide necessary physical barrier for termitg protection.

4; Thoroughly ventilate all spaces undei the building.

5. Use soil poisons if the termite probl lem localfy is severe.

Northern California lumbermen's Tournament-pix on opposite page

Looking over the scores of some 150 golfers who participated in the 7th Annual Northern California Lumbermen's Tournament, one has the impresiion that the industry must have shut down for that day! In addition. another 50 lumbermen headed their trusty iron steeds into the parking corral of the Sierra View Country Club in Roseville and gathered at the oasis within to cool their parched tonsils with the rest of their golfing brothers. Final count was 192 for dinner.

Hats ofi to George Dufi and Cecil Schiffner for another fine job of organizing this big annual non-profit event.

The tournament officially began at B:00 a.m. and for the rest of the day the exoellent Sierra View course was the- scene of joy and anguish, exultation and despair. By 4:30 that afternoon, the "Oasis" was the center of a sizable group of lumbermen displaying mixed emotions about the game in general, but happily settling down to a game of gin (and tonic?) or a game of "boss" with the boys. A fine banquet capped the afiair and the management of Sierra View can rest assured of a repeat for next year.

The winners? Well, there were 63 trophies in all, but we'll do our best to list

them and hope the spelling is correct. Here we go:

In the Big Time circle, Bill Blattner walked ofi with the Iow net (77-14), Don Miller took second low net (won on a draw), Harry Lausmann pounded out a low gross of 76, and John Sarlo came in second with 78. Special trophies were also awarded to Bill Toms (longest drive), Bob Dronberger (accuracy drive27"), and, Al White (closest to hole in one-28").

In flights one through six, Billy Main, Ralph Lamon, Dean Lambert and Al White finished in that order in the first flight. Second flight winners were Clyde Henry, Dick Korman, Norm Winsor and Hal Hartzell. Third flight trophies went to Bill Knab, Stan Rossman, Walt Pfister and Paul Gaboury.

The fourth flight lineup included Bob West, Grant Potter, Ed Heilman and Beryl Robinson. The fifth flight finished with Dave Pfister. Bill Johnson" Bob Korn and Art Triebwasser in the usual order. The sixth flight winner was H. R. Neel with Bob Butcher, Jack Crane and Ben Ward right on his he€ls.

In the blind bogey, the lineup was as follows: Warren Jimmersono Bill Novak, Wavne Fuller. Bob LaHatt. Glen Butler.

Bill Sayre, T. C. Abell, Peter Murphy, Sterling Mentink, Clarence Bowers, Donald Whitmer, Bud Jones, Harry Robinson, Hugh Rosaaen and George Cameron.

Finishing that list leaves us to ponder if there was some one who didn't get a prize? If so, please tear out this page and mail along with the back of the carton of your current breakfast food and mail to George Duff c/o Cal-Ida Lumber Co.. Auburn.

Progrom for the Lumber Industry

Lumber Dealers' Merchandising Institute, Inc., of St. Paul, Minnesota announces that "programmed" courses for use with teaching machines will be available for the retail lumber industry beginning in January, 1963. The Institute will also be a source o{ supply for the teaching machines themselves.

This new technique has created a dynamic revolution in edu' cation. The teaching machine (illustrated in the accompanying photograph) is a simple device for conveying instruction. The "programmed" seulsss-divided into convenient lessons-are the heart of the system.

the user is able to check his progress immediately. He receives a "reward" for each right answer that encourages him to continue.

Teaching machine instruction is self-instruction, which enables the student to learn faster, better, with more lasting results, and without negatiue leelings about stud,ying. Extensive research with this new technique has conclusively proved that students are excited and thrilled by the process, and by the results they obtain. Subjects that normally take a year to cover have been mastered in a few weeks. What is learned is remembered much longer and used more eftectively, Each learner proceeds at his own pace. But slow learnerso who take longer to finish a course, score nearly as well as faster students on subsequent tests.

A growing number of major American companies have begun to use programmed instruction to train and educate their personnel. But as far as can be ascertained, the LDMI courses are the first to be prepared specifically for an industry.

Tu'o complete courses will be ready for distribution in January. The first is "Selling and Salesmanship"; the second is "Credit and Collections." Both courses are designed for retail lumber personnel and are based on the proven knowledge and experience of the most successful lumbermen in the country plus many months of research.

Included in the first two courses are sections on Package Selling, Contractor Relations, Selling Against Competition, Installment Selling, and other key subjects. Several additional courses are in the planning stage.

All programs are being designed under the direction of John Driemen, Executive Vice President of LDMI, and for many years natio,nally known for his work in Management, Personnel and Salet Training.

Information about programs and teaching machines can be obtained from Lumber Dealers' Merchandising Institute' Inc., First National Bank Building, St. Paul l, Minnesota.

Why should t.he remodeling business, now heavy in summer. bt: allorved to taper ofi in winter?

According to the Department of Commerce slatistics on the "Residential Alterations and Repairs" market, in 1961 the summer accounted for 6l per cent. of the billions of dollars spent. while the winter month-s had only i39 per cent oI the business.

"Most lumber attd building supply dealers would prefer a better balance of business throughout the year." suggests Earl W. Hadland, general merchandise manager for Masonite Corporation. "The truth is that the winter months can produt'e a larger itrcome from home modernization lrusiness. It's really up to the dealer."

He explained that the €lovernment figures showed 50 per cent oI the total, or $6.5 billion. was spent for inside work whit:h t:ould be accomplished in winter as rvell as summer.

He cited an American Home N{agazine survey of 196l whic}r gave the dominating indoors home improvements made during the winter months as general interior remodeling, finishing a basement, adding a bath. converting a garage to living area, and remodeling a kitchen.

"The dealer who steps up his efiorts to capture the remodeling dollar is the one who lands this business and helps eliminate his seasonal imbalance of income." Hadland said.

"In order to achieve this, dealers identiiy their place of business as Remodeling Headquarters and let people in their r:ommunity know of the remodeling services they have to offer.

"This means the use of local advertising, improved salesmanship, telephone and door-to-door canvassing, better use of present customers for leads, publicity, direct mail and ot.her selling aids.

"Through knowledge, training and application of good selling principles, the lumber dealer can equip himself to ber:ome the home modernization center of his community. In its D.S.C. (Design-Service-Counsel) program, Masonite Corporation is at-

tempting to help registered dealers serve their communities in this manner."

Hadland said the manv registered dealers who have followed through on the program have reaped the l:renefits of increased business for all materials related to home improvement.

In it-q own promotions. Hadland pointed out, Masonite is making it easier lor all its dealers to fill out the lean winter months with home modernizing business. Because its TONIGHT Show television schedule lvas successful last winter in launching its {actoryfini-qhed lloyalcott. panel lines, the company currently is using this same TV program to iutroduce a ncw product. Presto Peg-Board, as well as making consumers aware of the broad Masonite line of hardwood products including interior paneling and a wide range oI horizontal and vertical sidings.

Consumer demand lor these products makes itself felt in the rctail yards, where orders are taken not only for the hardboard lrut for lumber. hardware and allied materials needed to complete the job.

Stondord Committee Relotes Sizes to Moisture Content

The American Lumber Standards Committee, acting under Simplified Practice Recommendation 16-53 issued by the Department of Commerce. has approved the principle that American lumber standard sizes should be related to the moisture content of the lumber.

The Committee appointed a suli-committee to study proposals heretofore made to the Committee hy the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau, the Western Pine Association. and the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau. The sub-committee will also study proposals of the I)epartment of Commerce to revise the standards. This sub-committee is made up of representatives o{ manufacturers. distributors. specifiers and consumers of lumber, and is to report back to the full Committee not later than May, 1963.

Unusuql Use of Point on Chicogo Stote Street Disploy

The Martin-Senour paint company of Chicago recently filled a most unusual speciai order for nearly 200 gallons of exterior finishes to paint authentic replicas of 10 Scandinavian shopfronts in the heart of Chicago's Loop.

Carson Pirie Scott & Co,, nationally famous department store, covered its entire State Street facade with a false front of Scandinavian shops. The mammoth outdoor display is as long as a football field and 4b feet high.

Built by Silvestri Art Manufacturing Company of Chicago, the display calls attention to Carson's special ,,spotlight on Scandinavia" storewide promotion from Sept. 24 through Oct. 13. The promotion includes Scandinavian merchandise in all departments of the store, with more than 200 special guests from Scandinavian countries representing various phases of arts, crafts and manufacturing.

The 10 shopfronts heralding the promotion are each of different design and color. The paints were specially tinted to give the effect of old, weathered buildinEs.

Christmos Porty for Son Frqncisco Boys Club

San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 will stage its big Annual Christmas Party for 50 underprivileged children from the San Francisco Boys Club on Friday, December 14, according to cochairmen Dave Mackin and Frank Billings. The party will follow ihe pattern set by previous parties, wives and secretaries most cordially invited to gather in the Italian Room of the St. Francis Ilotel at ll:30 a.m. {or a relaxer, luncheon with the kiddies {ollowing in the Colonial Room at 12:30 p.m.

It is interesting to note that several San Francisco firms have cancelled their plans for that horrible saga that most of us endure each Christmastime. We refer, of course, to the custom of clearing o3 the desks, the dispensing of Old Faithful in paper cups, and ...f:er a couple of belts the reappraisal of that Mils Finch (usually is the Old Man's secretary. oI course).

This year, several lumber firms will participate in force in Club 9's Annual Christmas Party, substituting the cold setting of their offices for the plush interior of the St. Francis. So spread the word to the fellows with offices in the Bay Area. Tell'em they can even bring Miss Finch if they want !

Ducats for this year's production are now on sale $5.00 each and available from Lloyd Hickok of J. J. Moore & Co., or any of the {ollowing hard pushing directors:

Jim Hall (presents for the kiddies), Chuck Dickenson and Max Cook (publicity), Bill Carter (donations), Fred Ziese (children's transpoitation), Ed Brush (entertainment), or Shirley Krumpler (reception).

Leose or Buy?

A third edition of its popular study analyzing the merits and demerits of truck fleet leasing plans compared with company ownership has just been published by the Foundation for Management Research,

It is entitled: "Truck Fleets: Lease or Buy? An Analysis of Truck Transporta- tion Costs." The 82-page study has been revised to include data from a new survey covering fleet operation practices of more than 4,500 corporations, as well as leasing plans offered by national truck leasing organizations.

Four complete tables are included in the study, which analyze costs of companyowned fleets and compare those costs with leasing. The study develops a "cutofr point" to aid financial officers in determining when it is more profitable to lease

truck fleets and when it is more profitable to own them. The study also analyzes various lease plans, pointing out advantages and disadvantages of each.

Single free eopies of "Truck Fleets: Lease or Buy?" may be obtained by executives by writing to the Foundation for Management Research, 121 West Adams Street, Chicago 30, Illinois.

Gloss Fiber Screening Commerciol Stqndqrd Adopted by l'ndustry

Glass fiber insect screening can now be manufactured under a commercial standard spelling out construction characteristics of the product as well as quality standards for the finished screening. The standard was developed in cooperation with the U. S.

Department of Commerce by glass fiber sereening manufacturers including OwensCorning Fiberglas.

Visual evidence of the new commercial standard will be a certification and labeling program by which screening meeting standards will be clearly identified.

Quality requirements established by the standard include criteria for weatherability, flame tesistance, color stability, bond and burst strengths, stiffness, and blocking resistance.

Owens-Corning Fiberglas led the indus' try by offering a 10-year guarantee on its screening in 1960. The guarantee was made possible after years of laboratory testing and field exposure and applies to screening for approved uses in windows, screens, porches, breezeways, patios, and pool enclosures.

O'Brien lo Produce Own Lqtex Polymers

Nearing completion at The O'Brien Corporation's main plant, South Bend, Indiana, is a quarter-million dollar expansion project which will enable the company to produce its own latex polymers; the basic materials used in the formulation of latex paints for home and industry use.

According to J. J. Crowley, president of O'Brien's multi-plant opeiation, the fast-growing demand for latex paints of all kinds was an important deciding factor in the costly new addition,

"By making our own polymers," he asserts, "we expect to further protect the jobs of our employees by using their skill and long experience to produce even better quality than we can buy on the, open market. In addition, we also hope to save money to better our pricing position in today's competitive market."

O'Brien's latest building and equipment expansion project is a modern concrete block and steel structure which will house a 1,500-gallon. stainless steel reactor capable of processing many new types of synthetic resins, in addition to emulsions. A second reactor is planned for a later date.

Crowley states that the flexibility of the new equipment was another important consideratiort since production equipment must be able to keep step with new developments coming from the company's Basic Research Department.

Many of the tanks, fixtures and pipes that complete the installation of the new expansion are not only specially designed, but are either stainless steel or stainless steel lined, Crowley explained.

Buried outside the new 30-foot high building are one 8,000gallon and two 10,000 gallon tanks for raw material storage.

In addition to the reactor, the building itself, houses: a 5,2C0 gallon water-cooled tank and agitation system for blending latices; an 800-gallon tank with agitator system for monomers, the raw materials which go into making latices; a 600-gallon heated tank for water, stabilizers and other chemicals needed in the process, and several heavy-duty pumps with stainless steel parts.

In order to lift the 3,450-pound reactor and the tanks weighing up to ?,150-pounds over existing power lines and cables, industrial cranes had to be used, Equipment was placed in position then bolted to steel beams before walls and ceilings were completed.

Crowley added that, a small l0O-gallon "pilot" reactor similar to the new production reactor-one of the few in existence in the paint industry today.-is already in operation.

This. "pilott' unit, he explained, makes it possible for the company to move accurately from laboratory test-tube formulations thrcugh small l'control" batches. and then to full-scale production with less possibility of error during the very critical production process.

Emulsions produced by the new equipment will be shipped in tank-wagon and drum lots to the company's four other plants in Baltimore, Oklahoma City, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Right Anitude Poys Oft!

Having the right.attitude has resulted in an all-expense-paid weekend holiday in Las Vegas, Nev., for nine Masonite Corporation Design-Service-Counsel registered lumber dealers.

They're the winners in the hardboard manufacturer,s recent Key Word contest who will be guests of the company at the famous Flamingo Hotel. To win, they picked the word ,,attitude" as the key word in Masonite's slide film, ,,Opportunity Knocks Twice.',

The winner in this area is R. A. Babicky, Lausmann Lumber Co., Loomis, California.

Whittier Eugene

"A dealer's success or failure in the retail lumber business is a matter of attitude," says Masonite's general merchandise manager, Earl W. Hadland, in explaining why this is the key word. "His .:: attitude toward new merchandising principles, his attitude toward ,r,r a clean, organized shopping place for his customers, his attitude i toward brand names and new products introduced by his suppliersr -;: his attitude in accepting innovations in marketing techniques are the key to his future."

"Opportunity Knocks Twice" explains the benefits ofrered dealers .'' wtro plrticipate in the D.S.C. program, the only complete manuc 'l facturer-sponsored national program to help lumber and building materials dealers get their rightful share of the vast and profitable'," home improvement market. D,S.C. is not a plan to sell jtrst Masonite products, Hadland points out, but is designed to help the dealer sell all building products.

Its purpose is to bring the lumber dealer back to his rightful ;: position of prominence in the home modernization field, providin$ ,'i him with the identification, merchandising tools, and step-by-step ,1, procedures required to obtain home remode'ling business fast and ! profitably. Over 2,000 retail dealers have joined the program. ,i:

Price Cqlculqlor from U.5. Plywood Speeds Estimqtes

A pocket-sized calculator for quick estimates of retail prices on Weldwood prefinished paneling is being ofrered by United States Plywood Corporation.

In one operation the slide rule card gives seven answers. A pull tab aligns an arrow indicator in the desired wood species to any one selection of four typical room sizes-10'x14', I2'x16', 74'xl8', and t2'x20'. Seven small openings in the calculator card then reveal price per square foot, price per panel, prices for short and long walls 8' high and four walls minus 10% allowance for doors and windows, plus style numbers of matching Putty Stiks for grooves and faces.

The price guide covers 18 wood species in the company's prefinished line, reeently bracketed into three price categories and color labeled to facilitate handling and stocking-gold for top of the line, blue for moderately-priced and red for low-cost,

"This simple calculator supplements the new colorlabeled merchandising coneept of a panel to suit every budget-a concept which was designed to aid dealer sales," says John Ball, hardwood-plywood manager. "fn seconds, the dealer has detailed price information at his fingertips."

The complete Weldwood paneling line is identified by wood species and color style as well as prefinished trim styles, numbers and prices,

view, with one wide face concealed by being placed against the wall or other surface.

When flat grain is used under this condition, the wide exposed face is the 'obark" face and the two exposed edges are vertical grain surfaces-all trouble free. To illustrate, take the item of a mullion casing. It is a piece of trim placed over the outside or inside of a mullion of a window wall or multiple window. Flat grain is best for this purpose.

If vertical grain is used under this condition, the two edges are flat grain sur{aces and one of them could cause trouble {rom erain loosening on the edge.

Three Good Fqces on Eqch Boord

When the best job is wanted, just remember you have three good faces on a board; the two vertical grain surfaces and the o'bark" face of flat grain. Specify your lumber either vertical grain or_flat grain so as to get the best results for the least money.

In items like flooring and ceiling, only one face is exposed and vertical grain is best. You get a smooth {ace and a minimum of shrinkage. Vertical grain is best where two faces and no edges are exposed.

First choice {or stadium seats is vertical srain with the ,.bark,, edge to the front and next choice is flat eiain with the ,.bark,' face to the top.

Whether flat grain or vertical grain is ordered for any purpose, specify all edges eased unless there is some definit" ,"uroni fo,

not doins so.

Those"*ho ur" familiar with the causes of loosened srain orr Iumber know that it occurs on the heart face of machinellumber, because no machine work can be absolutely perfect. Holvever, con-

siderable siding, such as board and batt, etc. is now being utilized in rough (unsurfaced) lumber. Since no machining has been done on this stock, neither the o'heart" nor "bark" faces will cause trouble by grain loosening. Accordingly, either face may be used as the exposed face when a sau'ed surface is used as the outside face.

Monthly Lumber F<rcls

Output for the Douglas fir region in the first l0 months of 1962 lell 840 million board feet behind the identical ten months in 1959 as the industry took a further beating from excessive Canadian imports.

Only bright spot, said G. Cleveland Edgett, executive vice president of West Coast Lumbermen's Association, is that output was slightly above the same period in 1961, but that was not a very good year. First ten months of 7962 was ofi 234 million board feet from the cut for the region in a iike period in 1960, Edgett said. The industry has repeatedly urged President Kennedy to invoke a quota on Canadian imports without avail.

The weekly average o{ West Coast lumber production in October was 151,210,000 b.f. or 95.2/o of the 1957-6I average. Orders averaged 151,461,000 b.f.; shipments 148.060,000 b.f.; weekly averages for September were production 160,330,000 b.f., I0[.g% of the 1957-6L average; orders 152.800,000 b.f.; shipments 16I.842.000 b.f.

Ten months of the 1962 cumulative production 6,749,342,0A0 b.f.; ten months of 1961, 6,595,551,000 b.f .; ten months of 1960, 6,983,685,000 b.{.; ten months of 1959, 7,589,079,000 b.f.

Orders {or ten months oI 1962 break down as follows: rail and truck 5,198,973,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 1,143,803.000 b.f.; export 299,209,000 b.f.; local 316,274,000 b.f.

lof Introduces New Line Of Custom Push-Pull Bcrs; Booklet Gives Full Dotc

Architects, designers, building owners and professional craftsmen in the construc- tion field will find Libbey-Owens-Ford,s new Push-Pull Bar booklet a valuable source of technical data on the companyrs new line of custom hardware designed for use on its standard and non-standard size tempered polished plate and tempered rough plate glass T\rf-flex Doors.

The 16-page illustrated product catalog emphasizes the new 300 Custom Series comprising a broad range of styles and sizes of push-pull bars to add a decorative, functional note, to the appearance of buildings such as stores, schools, churches, hospitals or offices using Tuf-flex Glass Doors. Included in part are sections showing the complete line with dimensional data, information on desigrl limitations, typical fasteners, plus an outline on obtaining personalized push-pull bars, a service wherein LOF weleomes the opportunity to work with designers and architects or bars of special design to meet customerst needs. fn announcing the new catalog to company distributors, F. Dwight Haigh, Jr., LOF manager of pattern and specialty glass sales, points out that most of the bars in the 300 Custom Series have exactly the same details for attachment which allows the line to be furnished in any combination of face plates or pulls. This is made possible by fabricating all but three of the styles for mounting on doors having

12 inches between hole centers in a vertical position.

"The advantage of this layout is that it permits prompt delivery service when used in combination with our standard size Tufflex Doors,t' he said.

Copies of the booklet TF-3A are available from LOF distributors listed under "Glass" in the yellow pages, or from any of the company's district sales offices.

Monlqnq Mill Sixth New DFPA Member

Successful completion of production test runs by the J. Neils Lumber Company, Libby, Mont., division of the St. Regis Paper Company, has qualified the plant as the sixth new member mill of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association during 1962.

The plant, opened earlier this year, has a capacity of 5,000,000 square feet of plywood per month according to A. J. Agather, resident manager. Timbev used for production will be western lardr, a tree which grows abundantly in the Western Montana area.

Utilization of westerrr larch for plywood was difficult until a few years ago hcause of a sug:ary substance which interfered with the gluing process. Research by technicians of the plywood association, a non-profit industry-wide research and promotion organization, developed methods of gluing larch veneers and opened up a whole new industry in Western Montana.

The J. Neils Libby plan! !s producing a line of interior-t1pe sheathing at present. Fuiure plans, Agather says, include expansion to include production of exterior-type

panels and sanded panels as well. Marketing of the production from the mill will be handled through rega'lar J, Neils contacts from the Libby office.

Other officers of the new DFPA mernber mill, beside Agather, include: Arthur Neils, assistant resident manager; Richard Neils, sales manager; Howard Hunter, assistant sales manager; Al Muenchow, controller and Eldon Pilker, superintendent of plywood. W. H. Rathert is the division president located in the Portland, Ore., oftces of thd St. Regis Company.

The other new members of the plywood association added during the year include the Grants Pass, Ore., mill of Vancouver Plywood Co. of Ore., the St. Helens, Ore., mill of Crown-Zellerbach Corp., the Yakima, Wash., plant of the Boise-Cascade Corp., D. L. Veneer and Plywood Co. of McMinnville, Ore., and Carlson Hardwoods Co.. Sonoma. Calif.
