fit rnn summer of 1946, the new and I edarged Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service was presented to the retail trade. Subscribers to the Service and their contractor customers found it unique in several important features.
This Service offered in one package a complete home planning and home selling tool. It featured scones of authentic small home desigrrs unique, because each was the work of an outstanding architect . each was engineered by Weyerhaeuser for sound and economical construction. .. and each was buttressed with working drawings, material lists, and fast, accurate estimating forms.
To maintain the cumulative and continuing value ofthe basic Service, the program called for the addition of a fresh, new home design each month. This makes it possible for the lumber dealer to always have available the new knowledge of advanced design. of new, proved materials . and construction methods. Accordingly, the best and accepted of traditional design is constantly enlivened by the new techniques.
For?! consecutive months, the Weyerhaeuser
4.Square Home Building Service has been nationally advertised in the leading shelter
magazines. Millions of prospective home ownerst have seen each month's new design. The response to this advertising continues to be outstanding. . proofthat people are interested in homes that are architect-designed and engineered for greater home_value.
National advertising is most efrective when tied to the point of sale. Accordingly, each month tumber dealers who are offering this Service receive a complete local promotion program built around the cunent home design. You'[ find the contents of one monthly kit illustrated at left. In addition to current material, plan books are available for customer distribution.
Never static. always dynamic. asfresh and modern as each new home design - the 4-Square Home Building Service makes available the latest and best in the small home field. It is helping lumber dealers to protect their position in this field because it enables them to offelwhat their customers want most . greater home value for their building dollar . . the architect-designed, Weyerhaeuser-engineered home.
Leading Lumber Dealers are renewing their subscriptions to this constantly growing Service, because it enables them to better meet the planning needs of an ever increas' ing housing market.

Someone is al'ways suggesting that we "give the country back to the fndians."

There is pathos in that reply, for it is so fearfully, so regrettably true. I'm in favor of passing a law fixing the maximum salaries of movie folks at the same maximum enjoyed by the school teachers of the country. ***
A friend of one of the ten movie men of high salary now in the hands of the Thomas Committee for contempt of Congress, defended him by saying that as a youth he held a menial position at a menial salary, and that it soured him so that even though he now makes three thousand a week, he is Communistic. Wouldn't you think he would love and adore a country where a man could rise in such a fashion, instead of villifying it?
Someone asked Groucho Marx-so they say-what chance General MacArthur has for becoming President, and Groucho replied that, even though the general was in Japan, he hadn't a Chinaman's chance. ***
Which reminds me that this same Marx is credited with the wittiest remark of the season. Someone asked him what he thought of a new stage play, and he replied that he had seen it under adverse conditions-the curtain was up. ***

Money. There's a subject frequently discussed but little understood. I found out how shockingly ignorant I am on that subject at present (r've often admitted in this column (Continued on page 10)

I Hardwood fooring, more than almost any other building material, must be purchased on the reputation'of the manufacturer and the integrity.of the dealer who sells it. Flooring is received in wire-bound bundles, making it impractical to examine individual pieces, as you can do when unloading lumber. Furthermore, even closest scrutiny of every strip will not disclose shortcomings in seasoning or certain de-
fects in manufacture. These will become apparent only as the fooring is being laid, or after the foor has been in use.
When you buy fooring through unknown sources, you have no recourse. You don't know what you're getting until it's too late! Protect the home buyer, and yourself, by purchasing accepted brands of flooring and buying through recognized, reliable dealers.

that I don't understand money, and know few if any who DO) when I heard two very interesting speeches on the subject. I sort of gasped at what I heard, and all those around me seemed to be in the same fix. One speech was made by a distinguished banker to a bankers convention. His subject was "our irrefleemable currency." "The advocates of the 'easy money' policy and the unlimited issue of 'dishonored currency' are now in power," said the speaker, and from that springs
of disastrous inflation.
The second speaker talked on the same subject, but made it even plainer by the use of a very striking illustration. He read from the face of a bank note these words': "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private, and is redeemable in lawful money at the United States Treasury, or at any Federal Reserve Bank." Then he read the correspondence that was recently exchanged between a citizen and the Secretary of the Treasury, naming names and dates on the letters. A man lrrrote to the Secretary of the Treasury and enclosed a Federal Reserve note for ten dollars. He called attention to the words quoted above about "lawful 'money," and he asked that the Treasury send him ten dollars in lawful money in exchange for the note'
The Secretary of the Treasury, or his deputy, which is the same thing, replied by sending the man two five dollar United States bank notes. Immediately the man, eager to bring the matter to some sort of understanding of "lawful money," returned one of the five dollar notes and asked the Treasury to send him five dollars worth of "lawful money" in exchange therefor. The Treasury returned him the same note, with the terse statement that they have no legal interpretation of what "lawful money" means. And this closed that very interesting correspondence. Don't YOU think it's interesting?***
So that is what the banker, the other speaker I have referred to, meant when he spoke of "dishonored" and "irredeemable" money. I had no idea previous to that time that such was our money situation. When you ask for "lawful money" in exchange for a bank note, you just get other bank notes in return. Of course all the credit of the
United States Government is behind those bank notes; but that is true and has always been of all printed currency, only it used to be backed up by and interchangeable for coin of the realm. So now I am more confused than ever, if possible, on the subject of money. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who started this strange money ball rolling by taking us off the gold standard, probably knew as little about money as any living man; which did not keep him from tampering with it. So there we are. Or rather, where are we? Pull a bank note out of your pocket, read that statement about "lawful money," and then scratch your head a while. The banker speaker said that that was why money buys so little today, and predicted that it would buy still less before it buys more.
All of which reminds me of the very best story going illustrating our economic situation. A small sawmill was shut down for want of a combination fireman and engineer. Finally the mill owner hired a man who recommended himself highly in that capacity, and told him to go down to the mill and start the fire and get up steam while he, the owner, rustled up a crew of men. A couple of hours later the mill man walked into the mill and the boiler room was hot. while the big new man was shoveling in the fuel at a great rate. He glanced at the steam gauge (which is like the face of a clock with a hand-pointing to the steam pressure) and saw it pointed at 90. He shouted at the new man-"You've got it too hot-it's 9FI never saw it more than 70 before." And the fireman said: "NINETY HELL! THAT'S THE THIRD TIME AROUND !" And, after listening to those two men talk 3bout our money situation I decided maybe the fireman was right, and it IS the third time around right now.

The fifty-seventh annual convention of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo will ,be held at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, September G7-8-9, 1948, and the plans are now rapidly rounding into shape. There is much reason to believe that the attendan'ce at this meeting will be the greatest in Hoo-Hoo history, and throughout Hoo-Hoo Land the news is going out that this is one convention that nobody in the Order should miss.
The Biltmore Hotel has set aside a sufficient number of rooms for the meeting, but reservations must be made as early as possible so that the convention committees will be able to make suitable arrangements. Reservations should be made to D. C. Essley, 909 South Atlantic Boulevard, Los Angeles 22, California. Mr. Essley is general chairman of the entire convention, and no better man for the job could be found on land or sea. Let him know the type of accommodations you desire, the date of your arrival in Los Angeles, the time of day you expect to arrive, the number of people in your party and their individual flames, and the time you plan to leave.
Ably suppbrting Mr. Essley in the preparations for this meeting is the following stout bunch of Committee Chairmen: Finance, A._Bert McKee; Program, George Clough; Entertainment, Bob Osgood; Golf, Bill Ream; Registration, Ole May; Housing, Ed Bauer; Cqncatenation, Ifuntley Wark; Transportation, Harvey Koll ; Arrangements, Orrie Hamilton; Membership, J.

The Swedish farm-hand was on the witness stand in a hearing concerning a very tragic head-on train collision. He testified that he was walking along the railroad track and saw an express train approaching at a high rate of speed. At about the same rnoment he looked the other way and here was a passenger train rushing at him from the opposite direction. Realizing that these trains were going to crash into each other, he ran out into a plowed field, and there turned and watched the tragedy take place.
Said the railroad attorney, cross-examining him:
"Do you mean to tell this court that you saw those two

trains rushing at each other on the same track, and that instead of trying to do something to prevent the horror you ran out into the field to a safe place, and then watched the trains pile up?"
"Yah," replied the Swede.
The lawyer became dramatic.
"In the name of God man," he roared, "tell me-what did you think?"
"Vell," said the Swede, philosophically, "Ay tank what a lousy railroad dis har ban, and what a hell of a wreck dey ban goin' to have !"

W. F. (Bill) Fahs talked on "The Plywood Story." He discussed both the foreign and domestic situations saying that hardwood plywoods were plentiful, and that some foreign plywoods are now available. Referring to Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir plywoods, he said the situation is "tough" and they. are hard to buy. Plywood prices are high, he said, but he doesn't look for any reductions for some time as labor, logs, and other manufacturing costs are high. The Southern Californ,ia market, he declared, is active and is absor,bing all the plywood that is shipped in.
Frank J. Connolly reported on "The Philippine Mahogany Picture." He said: "The progress that has developed since the em,bargo was lifted in December has been slow but quite satisfactory when we consider that all the lumber cut is on circular mills left by the Army; no band rnills to my knowledge are yet in operation. So judging from the lumber that has been exported, and the equipment available, the results are okeh.
The 25th annual convention of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association was held at the beautiful Santa Barbara Biltmore, "garden estate by the sea," Santa Bar,bara, June 17-18-19. Delegates from all sections of the Pacific Coast were on hand for the meeting.
The first business session was held Thursday morning with President Clarence C. Bohnhoff presiding who extended greetings to the delegates. He also expressed his appreciation to Secretary-Treasurer Stanton Swafiord who handled the arrangements for the convention.
The members paid a silent tribute to the late Harry White, who was the first president of the Association.
A telegram was received from George Cornwall, The Timberman, Berkeley, Calif., extending greetings to the delegates, and expressing his regrets that he could not attend the ,conven'tion. It was moved that the Se,cretary send a wire of appreciation to Mr. Cornwall.
Secretary Stantorl Swafford read the minutes of the last meeting, and President Bohnhoff appointed the following committees:
Nominations-Bob Kahn, chairman; Bruce Mclean and K. E. MacBeath.
Resolutions-Roy Stanton, Sr., chairman; Bob Sullivan and Norman Sawers.
Membership-Sterling Stofle, chairman; Jim Davis, and Leonard Hall.
"We do have many problems. It is true, for instance, the amount of 5/4" and,6/4" available is very small due to the fact that very few of the mills are qualified to cut these thicknesses. In small mills the block setters can only figure runs of l" and 7'. The making of shims in these small mills is unheard of. However. as soon as a few resaws are installed then l0/4" a4d I2/4" can be resawn to 5/4,, and. 6/4" but this all takes time.
"The 60-day requirement, while a good thing, has a tendency to slow down shipments for export, also many of the operators lost everything due to the war and now do not have sufficient finances to carry much stock for that period, so they sell it in the local market.
"However, the banks are now evidencing some interest in this situation and we hope by means of warehouse receipts this condition can be improved and more good export lumber accumulated.
"The lifting of the em,bargo f.rom 20/o of the previous month's cut to 50/o will also be a great help, and I wouldn't be surprised but the additional volume which will be developing from now on will have some effect on the price structure which should result in lower costs and place Philippine mahogany in a more competitive position with native hardwoods.
"We know since the embargo on logs has been lifted entirely that log prices have dropped gradually, and with the price of logs lower, lumber should react in the same way in the next several months.
"We have a different condition in the Islands, now that (Continued on Page 18)

they are independent, all logs and lumber must pass Bureau of Forestry inspection, and properly handled this could be an excellent thing for the buyers on the mainland. F'or instance, up to the present time in a period of four months we understand that the Bureau of Forestry has turned down some 800 M feet as not qualifying because of miscut and poor grades. In two cases, this experience was so discouraging to the outfits running the sawmills, they sold out to new people who are experienced in sawmill operations. This type of protection to the export trade should be welcome."
Vice Presfdent Don White presided at the Friday morning session.
Officers elected for the coming year were: President, Don White; Vice President, Bruce Mclean ; SecretaryTreasurer, Don Braley.
Directors elected were: Gordon T. Frost, E,. G. Reel, Alex Gordon, Fred Ahearn, Dallas Donnan, and Lar,vrence B. Culter.
Hal Von Breton announced that he and Don White have arranged for a two-week Hardwood Grading Course for hardwood yard personnel to be held in Los Angeles and San Francisbo. during the month of August. E,leven members of the'Association in Los Angeles and seven members in San Francisco are sponsoring the course. The course
rvill be given in Los Angeles the first trvo u'eeks of the month, and in San Francisco the last,two weeks. Inspector Swartzbough of the National Hardwood Lumber Association rvill be in charge.
The first rveek of the course will be given over to class room studies, while the second week will be spent on practical grading work in some of the hardwood yards. The course in Los Angeles is open to the personnel of the Southern California hardwood dealers, and in San Francisco it 'ivill be available for the hardwood dealers in the San Francisco Bay Area and Pacific Northwest.
The Association members were highly in favor of the grading courses.
The members were in favor of trying to get some lectures on hardwood lumber included in the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association educational program which covers the 30-day training course for retail yard personnel sponsored by the regional associations.
It rn'as also recommended that the wholesale hardwood distributors send in quotations on bids received from the government.
President Don White lvas authorized to write to the National Wholesale Hardwood Distribution Yard Ass'n., giving the viervs of the members on both these matters.
Davidson Plyrvood Co., Los Angeles, and Harbor Plyrvood Corporation of California, San Francisco, were elected to membership in the Association.
A tour to some of Santa Barbara's world famous gardens (Continued on Page 20)

The Hammond Lumber Company sent THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT one of the sightliest and most interesting books that has come this way in a long time. ft seems that Eureka, California, held a Redwood Empire Centennial Celebration on June 23rd to 27th, and this book is a souvenir program of the festivities. \Mhile it is supposed to be the program of the fair, rodeo, horse show, and other events of the celebration, more than half the book is given over to pictures and short stories of the history of the Redwood Empire, of Humboldt Bay, and of the lumber and timber interests of the entire territory, starting off with the history of the discovery and gradual settlement of that very interesting historical part of the State of California.
According to this book and its interesting pictures and illustrations, Capt. Bruno Heceta in his ship "Santiago,,' and Lieut. Juan Francisco de Bodega y Cuadra in his ship the "Sonora," both intrepid Spanish mariners, brought their two shipS to anchor off the California Coast on June 9, 1775, and they called the bay Trinidad Bay because the day was Trinity Sunday. But long before that time Sir Francis Drake saw.Trinidad Bay in 1578, and was the first European to see the coast of Humboldt County. In 1828 Jedediah Strons Smith, explorer and trapper, reached California by the overland route seeking Trinidad Bay, and entered Humboldt County and reached the pacific. Smith and two companions were all that survived an Indian massacre, but they got back to Fort Van.couver.
In 1849 Dr. Josiah Gregg came overland and discovered Humboldt Bay, arriving on its shores on Christmas Day. Dr. Gregg lost his life due to privations on the return trip toward civilization. They ate their Christmas dinner where Arcata now stands. Capt. Henry Buhne sailed'the schooner "Laura Virginia" north from San Francisco in 1850, and explored Humboldt Bay. He liked the country so much that he settled down and spent the rest of his life there. In January, 1853, two companies of United States infantry
were sent to Humboldt Bay and established a military post they called Fort Humboldt. Capt. U. S. Grant, later to become so famous an American, was in charge of that post at the beginning.
In 1854 the first Redwood sawmill was built on Humboldt Bay, being the Ryan and Duff Redwood Mill. It was built from the hull of the wrecked steamer "Santa Clara," and was powered by the machinery that had formerly operated the ship. Another step came in 1875 when John Vance, Mayor of Eureka, built a railroad from his Redwood sawmill on Mad River to the waters of Humboldt Bay. The railroad was built with hardwood rails and over this road Redwood .lumber came to the ,coast. And so the Redwood Empire started. There is on display at Fort Humboldt a strange looking locomotive that Mr. N. H. Falk used in 1875 to bring logs to his mill at Arcata. The wonderful old Carson home which William Carson built in Eureka in 1885 is shown in a full page picture in this book.
Eureka, the county seat of Humboldt County, was established by John Ryan in 1850, and incorporated in 1856. It is the most westerly city in the continenial United States. Humboldt County is the greatest lumber producing county in California, backed by some 46 billion feet of standing timber. Redwood and Fir lumber, Redwood shingles and shakes, and Fir and Redwood plywood are all manufactured in Humbolcit County.
These, and thousands of other interesting facts about the Redwood Empire, are to be found in this fine book.

Bet I'd get a lot of votes at that ! More people know me as the leading building supply dealer in this locality, just because I handle Marlite plastic-finished wall panels and all the other Marsh products.
How come? Just take a look at the latest Marsh advertisement in the SATURDAY EVENING POST or any of those lllarsh ads in BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, HOUSE BEAUTI. FUL, SMALL HOMES GUIDE and SUNSET. That's where folks find out about Marlite's sealed surface, modern patterns and beautiful colors. And ir's the reason so many folks come in to see-and buy-Marlite and those other Marsh products.
Yes sir, Marsh advertising is doing a big job for me, not only in the home market, but in all those special markets where big Marlite sales .are made. I'm using all the powerful sales promorion helps that Marsh provides for its dealers coupled with that IVIarsh advertising, I get more prospects and more sales and that means more profts.

"Peelers" is the name given fir logs that go to the pllwood mills because a thin sheet of wood (veneer to manufactuters) is actually peeled from the logs.
The production record of the Douglas fir plywood industry traces a rising curve similar to the take-off trail of a jet fighter. Unlike the jet fighter, however, the Douglas fir plywood industry's rise has ,been on solid ground.
Prior to 1920 there was no plywood industry as such. Plywood had been manufactured in the Pacific Northwest for panels and drawer bottoms since 1905, but the first plant to be erected for the commercial production of plywood was built by the Elliott Bay Mill Co. of Seattle 15 years later. After 1920 new uses for plywood multiplied, and it was freed from its restricted role as a material for the door industry and drawer bottoms, pushing production up to 153,000,000 square feet* in 1925, with 12 plywood plants in the field.
On the tenth anniversary of the Douglas fir plywood industry in 1930, 16 plants turned out 305,000,000 square feet of the panels. Production fell off for only two years during the depression, dropping to 235 million feet in 1931, and hitting rock bottom at 200 million feet in 1932. The output for 1933 was nearly double this amount-climbing to 390,000,000 feet.
Douglas fir plywood production rose to an all,time high in 1942. In that year 3l plants manufactured 1,782,000,000 feet of the laminated wood for a nation beginning the grim drive to victory over Germany and Japan.
In spite of the increasing demand for Douglas fir plywood, the output fell off slightly during the remainder of the war years because of equipment and manpower shorttages (plywood workers were not deferred from the draft although the War Production Board later paid tribute to the industry for its contribution to victory). Many a Marine was carried to enemy beaches in plywood assiult boats and his broken bones set with plywood splints. And every serviceman came in contact with plywood many times during his military career, either in barracks or messhalls, or in the field where the miracle wood performed a thousand duties.
Plywood production f.or 1947 was at the highest level for any peacetime year with 1,630,000,000 square feet produced by 37 plants. And the output for 1948 is expected to reach as much as two billion feet.
Called the "miracle wood" because of its strength and adaptability, Douglas fir plywood is now the standard material in hundreds of products formerly made of other materials. Used for countldss new jobs during the war, plywood, by its demonstrated superiority, gained preference in many new fields.
The adaption of plywood as a basic material in construction is an amazing story in itself. During the decade preceding war plywood became a basic building commodity. It is used alike for roof and wall sheathing, sub-flooring, and interior and exterior paneling. In addition to its sup*-Calculated on the basis of tfi-inch rough thickness.
erior strength in these construction uses, plywood speeds construction, has appearance value, offers structural superiority.
Plyscord, an unsanded sheathing panel of unusual rigidity, is the plywood grade recommended for sheathing on walls and roofs, and for sub-flooring.
If a material is needed which will withstand permanent exposure or prolonged immersion in water, Exterior type plywood should be employed. It is made by a hot-plate synthetic resin process which provides a waterproof bond between the wood pfys. Exterior plywood is serving well as siding of homes and building's, on the walls of barns, as signboard material, and in the hulls of ships. Indicative of its reliability, Exterior plywood long has been approved for homes and commercial buildings in the Uniform Build-, ing Code adopted by 380 cities, towns and communities throughout the country.
For interior finishing, Plypanel is the grade most suited for smooth-surface walls, ceilings, cabinets, partitions and built-ins-or for the myriad other interior uses where one or both faces are to be exposed. Besides having the inherent strength of Douglas fir plywood, Plypanel is manufactured to best show off the natural bebuty of the wood grain.
Plyform, designed for concrete form construction, is the workhorse of the Douglas fir plywood family. Panels of Plyform are made to produce concrete surfaces requiring an absolute mimimum of rubbing or finishing. And it is economical, too. Contractors employing it on bridges and large buildings report Plyform panels withstand as many as 15 re-uses.
More than half of all Douglas fir plywood produced last year-or some 900 million square feet-was in grades intended primarily suitable for home building or other light construction. The great bulk of these panels, of course, went into conventionally-built houses although prefabricators, too, consumed sizable quantities of the miracle wood. The home manufacturers required perhaps six or eight times as much plywood as that consusred in their greatest pre-war year when they consumed an estimated 15,C100,000 square feet.
One of the problems of the Douglas fir plywood manufacturers is the education of plywood users, in the use of the correct type plywood for the various applications. For example, Interior grades of plywood are still used occasionally by some builders as outside siding or other exposed applications. This is a serious misuse of the material as delamination can ,be expected with resultant charges of the owner against the contractor and the creation of an unfavorable attitude toward the plywood industry among casual observers of the unsatisfactory house.
The proper material, Exterior type plywood, will with- ' (Continued on Page 34)

(Continued from Page 30) stand the rigors to which the ordinary house is subjected -and a great deal more. But builders, as a whole, have been remarkably quick to learn correct applications of the miracle wood. When we remember that the first widespread use of plywood in home construction came only ten years ag'o, it is gratifying to see how intelligently the product is handled by most construction people.
The Douglas Fir Plywood Association was organized in its present form in 1936 in Tacoma, Wash., to promote the use of the product, carrv on research and maintain the high standards of the product.
At the present time, with the demand for plywood continuing to exceed output, the emphasis on promotion'has been shifted to research in an intensified effort to develop even finer plywoods, and to find new markets for the future. Early in June, at the annual meeting of Douglas fir plywood industry representatives, the D.F.P.A. illustrated more than 1000 plywood uses-many of them in fields previously overlooked as markets for the miracle wood.
Rigid standards for the difierent types and grades of Douglas fir plywood are set forth in the U. S. Department of Commerce Commercial Standard CS45-47, and the plywood industry maintains a corps of inspectors in the plants to certify the panels for each category.
Plywood has been going to the ,city in large quantities for homes and commer.cial buildings, it has been going to sea in boats ranging in size from dinghies to ocean-going tuna clippers, but it was brought out at the industry meeting that plywood also is ready to serve on the farm as well. Because of its strength, ease of handling and complete weather protection qualities, plywood is ideal for many rural needs-silos, barns, hog houses, stables to troughs and chick brooders.
One of the most significant developments in the plywood industry is the increasing production of Exterior type ma_ terial in proportion to Interior panels. Only five per cent of the plywood produ,ced was of the Exterior type in 1941. Last year Exterior production accounted for %/o oT the total output. Exterior footage increased 30/o last year over the figure for 1946.
Twenty-nine Douglas fir plywood plants now have 50 hot presses or high frequency presses capable of setting the
square feet of Douglas Fir plywood in 1947, and will produce over 3@ million in 19€. Western Pine plywood totaled 75 million feet in 1947, and 1948 will show an increase. It is likely that the grand total of Fir and Pine plvu'ood produced in 1948 will reach the huge sume of 2,400 million square feet.)
phenolic resin glues -which bind the plys for Exterior panels. Last year 11 of these presses were installed, indicating a further rise in Exterior plywood production.
The Calpella Plywood Corp., which is manufacturing sliced vertical grain Douglas fir plywood at its factory near Ukiah, Calif., will also make hardwood plywood at this plant later this year.
Mahogany, oak and madrone sliced plywood panels will be produced. The mahogany panels will be made from cants shipped in from the Philippines.
Adrian Levy, president of the concern, makes his headquarters in the Mills Building, San Francisco. Sherman Cornblum, formerly in the plywood jobbing business, is secretary-treasurer and general manager. The company has applied for membership in the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

There's an old story about the group of businesSmen who were discussing the great inventions of history, and in turn the inventor of the telephone, the cotton gin, the gasoline engine, anaesthesia, sulpha, and scores of other things that have made our modern civilization-rvas named and praised. And then a thoughtful guy was heard to remark that "the fellow who invented interest was no slouch, either."
I agree. And at the same time I want to add another to the long list of inventive benefactors of humanity, whoever he was-the man who invented plywood. It has been well said that the man who invented shoes carpeted the earth with leather; and the man who first thought up plywood is slowly but certainly carpeting the earth rvith wood -with stout, practical, attractive wood, and doing it in the smartest sort of fashion.
We used to think that a board could be no wider than the log it was sawn from. Plywood taught us better than that. We thought a board could be no longer than the log it came from. But we can make boards out of any possible length desired-with plywood. We used to think that the clear lumber we could get out of a log was just the total number of feet of clear boards the log would produce. And now we know that ten to twenty times as much clear lum-
ByJrck Dionneber can be produced from a log as the number of board feet of clears. We used to think that the lower grades of lumber could be used only for low'grade purpoies; and plywood taught us that we can so cut and arrange and glue and press that low grade stock that it becomes the strength and muscle of plywood cores, without which the beautiful outer slices of clears could not function.
Yes Sir, every time I watch men making plywood that is as attractive to look at as the most beautiful solid board, yet several times as strong, as unbreakable, and as useable as the solid boards made from the same tree, I say to myself that the guy who thought that thing out and put it into practice was "no slouch," either, any more than the inventor of interest. He made it possible for the lower grades of the wood to serve a greater purpose as plywood cores than they ever could have served as boards; and made it possible for the world to have the use of many times the clear wood surfaces in the shape of plywood it ,could ever have as sawn finish. He multiplied the quality wood, and gave strength and pride to the lower grade core wood. He gave the tree more to be proud of, more to offer in the way of human service than it ever had before.
To the guy, whoever he was, that invented plywoodmy deep respect !

A Douglas fir log oi t.uly legendary proportions was delivered io the Oregon-Washington Plywood Co. of Tacoma, Wash., recently. Even Paul Bunyan would have blinked his eyes at the nine-foot-in-diameter, 34 foot-long "peeler."
One of the largest logs received by the plywood plant in several years, the giant fir was peeled into veneer for some 24,000 square feet of Douglas fir plywood-enough to make four complete all-plywood five room homes.
The log was the largest section of a big tree cut near Kosmos, Wash. It was carried on a standard logging truck over 100 miles of mountain roads and busy highways preceded by a pilot car to warn other vehicles at curves and hills.
While plant workers watched, the truck moved slowly along the edge of the tilting dock until the big stick slipped over the side and splashed into the log pond.
From there it was pulled into the mill and cut into eight-foot lengths suitable for mounting on the huge lathe, where it was peeled into a flowing band of plywood veneer.

Striking yellow stained Douglas fir plyrvood exterior rvalls and unrestrained modern architecture are only two of the features which characterize the home of Charles H. McDonald, president of Savage Lumber Co. at Seattle.
For Architect Paul Thiry of Seattle faithfully observed two other prerequisites when completing plans for the structure. These requirements rvere : maximum use of allowable lot area and attainment of privacy for the home owners. These were achieved rvitl-r marked success.
In reality the home is a U-shaped structure built around a central patio rvhich is viewed from living room. dining room, sitting room and the master bedroom. Large n'indow areas in all walls facing the patio take full advantage of the garden space to the extent that it seemingly is a part of the house itself.
The house is oriented to catcl-r the south light, the patio extending almost to the south property line u'here a plywood enclosure effectivelv screens the outdoor area from the outside.

Panels were installed vertically and given a yellon' light stain to color the mateiial but retain the natural u'ood grain. Trvo coats of varnish \,l'ere applied for protection. Wide soffits are of the same Exterior plywood bttt of fuinch thickness. These horizontal surfaces were painted with three coats of lead and oil.
The Exterior plywood garden enclosure rvas finished to conform with the house sidewalls.
Throughout tl-re interior, walls are of t/s-inch birch plyu'ood manufactured by The Wheeler, Osgood Co. The

finish is natural in all rooms including the kitchen and bathrooms. Radiant heating coils are above the plastered ceilings: floors throughout the home are of asphalt tile.
The 3-ply built up asphalt roof is over ft-inch sheathing grade Exterior type fir plywood.
Included in the home are living room, library, dining room, kitchen, utility room, three bedrooms, two baths and a sitting room. The garage, approached from the alley, is attached.
The Davis Hardwood Company has provided increased space in its new plant at 757 Beach Street, San Francisco, for the manufacture of hardwood panels. This company is the only one in Northern California that makes hardrvood plywood commercially. This plywood is used mainly for fine furniture, store fixtures, cabinet work, and interior paneling in homes, offices, and department stores.
The plant equipment comprises hydraulic presses, veneer taping machine, a 54" glue spreader with rubber rolls for synthetic glues, veneer jointer, and sanders.
Panels have been furnished during the past 25 years for some of the finest buildings and stores in San Francisco. Recently panels were supplied for Samriels' jervelry store, and veneers for Magnin's new San Francisco store.
they would have been crushed by a thorough job of hoop fiohfeninq
There were, however, several factors indicating that the old cylinder might be reconditioned economically. The base was unusually sound, and the structure was especially straight for its age as it had been protected from wind by other nearby buildings.
Accordingly, it was determined to reline the old building rvith 5/16-inch Exterior plywood to prolong its usefulness.
Hoops were tightened as much as the condition of staves and threads would permit. The plywood panels were coated on one side, that which would be against the inside of the old silo, with emulsified asphalt and the coating permitted to dry before panels were installed. Then, the plywood was applied vertically being nailed with 6d nails approximately 6 inches on centers at panel edges and 12 inches on centers elsewhere. Panels were fastened to every stave in the old silo.
Plywood edges were merely .butted both at the vertical and horizontal joints.
Finally, half of the new inner surface of the silo was given a coat of asphalt paint from the base to the top. The other half of the plywood was left unprotected for comparative purposes.
A 30-year-old silo, previously considered beyond ordinary repair by replacement of individual staves, again is proving its usefulness after being relined with Exterior type Douglas fir plywoo<i.
Located at Western Washington Experiment Station at Puyallup, the silo now is filled with grass ensilage for the second time after the rejuvenation project. The lining is expected to extend the life of the silo by l0 or 15 years.
According to John Alswager, dai'ry husbandryman at the station, use of the reconditioned silo has been entirely successful to date with virtually no spoilage of silage during the first storage period.
Tight construction, which prevents air infiltration or leakage of juices is, of course, one of the features of allplywood silos. Lining of the deteriorated structure with the panels is believed to have accomplished to a high degree the same conditions.
Lining of the silo was undertaken after it was determined in 1944 that the general poor condition of the then , existing building did not warrant further repair work by replacing a few staves at a time. Threads of some of the steel hoops had rusted so that proper tightening was impossible. Fnrther, some of the staves \\,'ere so rotted that
During the relining it was learned that the silo, although it appeared straight and plumb, was smaller in diameter at the mid-section than at the top or base. fnasmu'ch as the plywood already had been cut for butt joints throughout, there remained V-shaped spaces between panels at the top and bottom when installed. These, however, constituted no serious problem and were merely given a heavy coat of asphalt.
Experience during the project indicates that for silos that are not true cylinders one or two other lining application procedures might be followed. Each plywood panel may be plumbed and the edge trimmed to fit against the preceding panel, at the same time keeping the top of the course level. Or, it is feasible to over-lap each panel approximately 2 inches to take up irregularities, keeping the top of the course level. Overlapping, the panels adds to the reinforcement.
Nonetheless, the appli,cation technique used for the Puyallup silo probably remains the simplest to follow and results to date indicate the project entirely successful.
Calaveras Forest Products Corp. has been manufacturing California pine plywood at its plant at Toyon, Calif. since January 1.
This concern is a subsidiary of American Box Corporation, and the sales are handled by Tarter, Webster & Johnson, Inc., San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Stockton.

Although the construction of railroad cars may seem far removed from the activities of retail lumber dealers supplying builders and home owners, actually the use of Douglas fir plywood in building railroad rolling stock is important evidence of plywood's durability.
In few other uses will the mira,cle wood be subjected to more rigorous conditions. Used as the sides of railroacl cars, it must withstand the impact of cinders and dust striking at speeds up to 90 miles an hour besides exposure to rain, hail or hot sunshine.
The Great Northern Railway Co. recently completed 1500 freight cars with inside and outside walls of /s-inch Exterior Douglas fir plywood with ceiling inner surfaces of fu-inch panels.
From Canada the CPR reports each of its nerv plywood boxcars to ,be 1600 pounds lighter than the older type of other materials. These cars are also sheathed with srt-inch Exterior Douglas fir plywood.
And in the Pacific Car and Foundry shops at Renton, Wash., 1000 new plywood-lined refrigerator cars rolled off the assembly line at 40-minute intervals for the pacific Fruit Express Co. This company ordered its first plywood reefers in 1939.
In addition to the cars built at Renton, pFE has orders for 4000 similar refrigerator cars with four other plants. Altogether, more than five million square feet of Exterior Douglas fir plywood will go into these rail reefers.
Several thicknesses of plywood are used in the cars. The sidewall lining and the ceilings a.re 9/16-inch, but sfi_inch was selected for the end wall lining. Plastic-surfaced pan_
els of 3/16-inch are being installed as a sub-lining to provide space for air circulation.
Ice bunkers with walls of one inch plywood can be retracted, making more room for cargo not requiring low temperatures. The outside surfaces of these reefers are of steel.
At Los Angeles, Pacific Fruit Express is applying plastic overlay panels to reefer car exterior surfaces in an extensive rebuilding program. The cars are stripped down to running gear and steel end walls before being built up with all new materials. Outer walls are 9/16-inch overlaid plywood, and l/S-inch overlaid single ply is applied over blanket insulation to form the interior surface.
'The selection of plywood for these refrigerator cars also is high praise for the products, becau'se the outdoor temperature may be over 100 degrees while inside it is close to freezing. Or, in cold winter weather, the inside temperature may be much higher than outdoors.
Plywood's ability to "take it" accounts for the rapidly growing demand among railroad car builders for more of the miracle wood.
The new plywood plant of Evans Products Co., Coos Bay, Oregon, will be ready to start operation in October of this year, according to an announcement by V. J. Johnson, vice president, and general manager of the Coos Bav operations. The new plant is under construction. The building has an area of 110,000 square feet, of which 90,000 square feet will be used for plywood production.

To display a new line of kitchen cabinet accessories and related hardware items purchased by women, Washington Hardware Co., Tacoma, Wash., has recently completed an outstanding fixture room designed for appeal to the feminine shoppers.
It was with this basic idea in mind that W. A. Wollander, Tacoma designer, proposed a mezzanine display room, complete with comfortable lounge and attractive Douglas fir plywood cabinets to show the merchandise to its best advantage. The latter feature is important since it was in this location that the new kitchen cabinet accessories, "Kitch'n Handy" designed by C. Morrison Johnson of Washington Steel Products, Inc., Seattle, rvere to be introduced to the public.
Occupying one end of the room, a handsome padded lounge provides a welcome to the tired shopper. Surrounding walls are lined with a variety of household and storage cabinets where modern conveniences are displayed as actual installations.
Opposite the lounge, the structure of rvhich is almost entirely plywood, is an array of display cupboards extending the length of the wall. The cupboards have slanted glass faces which slide to the side. These cupboards, occupying the upper half of the wall space employ plywood for the glass framing, backs and sides.
Below these, extending to floor level, are smartly designed plywood merchandise storage cabinets. Cabinet faces appear to be wall paneling, rvith the use of half-
ol the dieplcy room. Flush type plywood doorg cre enhqnced by the digpltry ol bright chroure door pulls. Note thct the modern rnetql "Kitch'n Hcndy" rccks cre mounied on the bcrcks ol the %-inch pcnel doors, round molding placed on the outside edge of the flushtype doors. Three-fourth inch vertical grain fir plywood is used for the doors and rotary cut fnterior type fir plywood for the framework. Cabinets are "hidden lock" construction, a greater pressure than that required to close the doors causes them to open.
A light stain in salmon color, which allows the beauty of the wood grain to show through, gives an attractive, restful finish for all plywood surfaces.
The remaining wall space demonstrates a complete plywood kitchen cabinet arrang'ement with a utility closet at one end. A stain finish in honey color was employed here, too. As an actual cabinet installation of fir plywood it has proven a superior background for display of the "Kitch'n Handy" line.
To completd the -attractive sales lounge, asphalt tile was installed as new floor covering. Here again plywood contributed to the desired effect as the smooth, rigid panels rvere laid over old rough flooring to provide a perfect base for the floor covering.

The old saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention," has been proved again. When Jerry Holeb, display artist at Fisher's Department Store at Tacoma, Wash., was asked to make a portable stage for the Tacoma Yacht club fashion show, he put on his thinking-cap and came forth with an unusual piece of equipment.
A circle five-feet in diameter constitutes the center of the stage. There are three sections on each side with each end seition tapered to become a ramp. Over-all length of the dais is approximately 40 Teet. It affords a platform 20 inches above floor level.
Horizontal ftamework for the various sections was made up of bandsawn plywood fu-inch thick. Vertical members are of solid lumber. The l9-square-foot surface of the circle was built without a single bracing member except f.or 2x3 fir backing where the plywood panels were joined. All of the sections providing 3-foot-wide tread at either side of the center platform were constructed with minimum framework as the builder capitalized on the inherent plate-like action of plywood.
The top or walking surface of each section is fu-inch Douglas fir plywood with maroon carpeting glued directly to the smooth panels. Miniature posts (8 inches high) were inserted in holes bored in the outside edge of the floor surface at lf-foot intervals. Gilder rope run through an eye near the top of each removable post adds a striking note.

The craft was constructed ih his shop during spare time betrveen guide trips last winter and drawn to his own specifications especially for the hazardous trip. In recounting the "impossible" run that was completed, the river guide comments, "It was a grand experience, and it gave us a great deal of personal satisfaction. Without the combination of a rugged boat and a reliable, porverful motor, horvever, we would have been in constant trouble."
Rogue Woter. For this lirst up-river trip ever uccomplished on the Bogue river lrom the Pqcific Ocecn to Gr<rntg Pqss, Ore., River Guide Glen Wooldridge selected c boctt oI Exterior Douglcs fir
Turbulent, treacherous Rogue river, knorvn to sportsmen throughout the nation for tl.re fighting salmon rvhich it spawns, for some 20 years has presented a chailenge to Glen Wooldridge of Grants Pass, Ore., river guide and boat builder.
Wooldridge, who as a youth fished the river commercially, in recent decades has made hundreds of successful down-river trips through the rushing, boulder-infested waters of the Rogue guiding fishing and hunting parties. But until this summer, neither he nor any other man had ever made the up-river trip Trom Pacific Ocean to his Grants Pass headquarters.
The racing *at.t., which drop 950 feet in the 120-mile circuitous route to the sea, had always ,been a one-way lvaterway.
Nolr., however, Wooldridge's burning desire has been accomplished. He, together with river guides Chuck Foster and Bob Pritchett, accomplished the hazardous journey this summer in a specially built river boat of Exterior type Douglas fir plywood. They completed the up-water trip in l4l hours running time in a rugged but light 20-foot craft pushed by a 221 h.p. outboard motor. The trip, lrorvever, consumed three days-May 14-17, 1947.
Having long calculated the dangers and the moods of the Rogue, Wooldridge had insisted, "With the proper motor, the right equipment and a specially constructed boat, I can make the run."
He did. And here is his olgn account of the boat he con-
\\rooldridge is to use the same plyrvood boat zgain this summer on a similar experiment in up-river travel, probably on another challenging stream. It weathered the terrific beating with scratches and minor scars but without any major damage. "I have used just about every kind of boat material I know of in building craft to brave the Rogue, and I will settle for fir plywood. It's good enough for me," the conqueror of the Rogue and able guide said after the trip.
Incidentally, others of his guide boats are of plywood construction, three of them having traveled 3,250 miles each in guided down-stream expeditions on the river last summer and fall. This represents considerable "mileage" througll the very rough 'ivater of the boulder-strewn river. "All the craft are in good condition after the terrific pounding of the water, on rogks and along the bottom in rapids. We will continue to use these plywood boats in the years to come."
The plywood plant of Coastal Plywood & Timber Co. at Cloverdale, Calif., will not be built until after the company's nelv sawmill is completed, according to a recent announcement.
J. W. Norberg is president of this company. Bert E. Petersen is vice president. F. A. Johnson is secretary and K. E. Burkes is treasurer.
The first manufacturer of commercial plywood made from Douglas Fir was the Portland Manufacturing Company, of Portland, Oregon. Samples of their first products are now on display in the Forestry Building in Portland. They were made in 1905, and were shown at the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition that year. They rvere strictly for door making.
The California Panel and Veneer Company, 955 S. Alameda Street, Los Angeles, has just enlarged its office space by adding a new reception room and executive offices.
The reception room is finished in flat-cut mahogany; the office of William Fahs, general manager, is done in rift oak; and the connecting secretary room is of brown ash. The ceilings in all the rooms are of Simpson acoustical tile. All offices are air conditioned. The entire decorative scheme is modern. Furniture and furnishings were all made to order. In addition, the old offices have all been redone by adding Simpson decorative tile and plank on rvalls and Simpson acoustical tile on ceilings.
As one recent visitor said as he walked tl-rrough: "If this doesn't sell fine rvoods and decorative insulation to anybody who comes in, there's no hope for business."
Mr. Fahs admits that there is a great deal to that statement. He planned the new offices rvith exactly that in mind -a perfect showcase for a variety of beautiful woods.

A lZ-foot, flat bottom rowboat in which Thomas C. Birk gf Aberdeen, Wash., has fished up and down the streams of the Olympic peninsula for the past 13 years has the longest use record yet reported for a boat built of plywood with waterproof phenolic resin gluelines.
The reason is a simple one !
Birk's boat, constructed in 1934, was built from among the very first sheets of plywood of this type ever produced. Harbor Plywood Corp. began production of Super-Harbord, panels with the phenolic resin gluelines, late that year, and some of this first material went into the simple, rib-free utility boat.
Actually, the skiff was originally built by Dave Sommerville, an amateur builder then living at Aberdeen but nor.v residing at Tacoma. Birk bought the craft from Sommerville a year later and used it continuously until it was purchased by Harbor Plywood Corp. this fall to be established as a permanent exhibit of the endurance of the outdoor type plywood.
_
Sommerville used rl-inch plywood (panels with phenolic resin adhesives suitable for marine applications and permanent outdoor exposure now are identified as Exterior type by the fir plywood industry) both for sides and bottom.

Work is progressing rapidly on construction of the new Shasta Plywood plant 10 miles south of Redding, California on Highway 99.
Starting in January, this year, the plant is scheduled for completion in the early fall. Covering a floor space of 120,0@ square feet, the main plant building will house the latest manufacturing equipment. A completely equipped maintenance and machine shop, and the latest materials handling equipment will help speed production.
Production is estimated at 200,000 square feet daily, on a /g" ,basis. Present plans are to produce principally pine paneling for use in interior finishing, cabinets, furniture, etc. Sales and distribution will be handled through United States Plywood Corporation.
The principal source of timber is a stand of approximately one billion feet of mixed conifers, principally Sugar and Ponderosa Pine and Fir, located rvest of Mt. Lassen in the Shingletown-Viola area.
With an individual average of over fifteen years of plywood manufacturing experience the management personnel consisting of Don G. Birmingham, general manager; Robert Cox, engineer; Orville D. Douglas, plant superintendent; Steve Franko, assistant superintendent;. and Harry Russell, logging manager, are qualified for their tasks in constructing and operating the nerv plant.
At Grants Pdss, Oregon
Announcement has been made that the recently formed Southern Oregon Plyr'vood Corp. rvill build a plywood plant at Grants Pass, Oregon.
Jack Villair, lumberman o{ Cave Junction, Oregon, is president. John Nylund, Grants Pass is first vice president; Archie Anderson, Grays Harbor, second vice president; E. C. Coates, Grants Pass, treasurer, and Mabel Villair, Cave Junction, secretary.
The Wheeler Osgood Company, Tacoma, Washington, manufacturers of doors, plywood and allied millwork products, has moved its Los Angeles sales office to a nerv address, Norman O. Cruver, president of the firm, announced.
Wheeler Osgood's new address is 5100 South Boyle Avenue, Los Angeles 11. The telephone number is LOgan 5-6245. Wheeler Osgood's new office will be headed by Harry E. Hart, well-known in lumber and stock millwork circles for many years.
A complete line of Wheeler Osgood products will be available through the new Los Angeles office, according to Cruver. Leading the list of famous names in the Wheeler Osgood line-up is the Tru-sized Door. A modern design dobr of Douglas Fir, the Tru-sized Door comes to the job sized and squared to new pre-fit size and scientifically resin prime coated. Tru-sized doors are also available bored for standard tubular lock and machined for standard hinges..
Laminex Plastic
Another recent contribution to better building is Wheeler Osgood's Laminex Plastic Faced Plywood. This versatile building material is made by welding a cellulose-fiber plastic surface to Douglas Fir Plylvood during tfie actual plywood manufacturing process.
Some of the ma4y advantages Laminex Plastic offers farms, homes and industry are these: it is. waterproof, weatherproof, parasite proof, stainproof, washable, fadeproof, and resistant to abrasion. It has almost unlimited uses in all types of construction.
Wheeler Osgood's Tacoma plant is now getting into full production of another great new idea, the sensational factory-built Tru-sized Door Jamb. With only three precision_ milled pieces to handle on the job, the Tru-sized Jamb cuts installation time from l-lft hours to 8-10 minutes.
Tru-Sized Jamb
The Tru-sized Jamb eliminates the time-consuming work of making dados, placing and fitting blocks, squaring and plumbing with wedges, gaining for hinges and cutting and

At Inverness, Ill., outside Chicago, principals in the plywood distribution firm of Fiddes-Moore & Co. of Chicago have just'completed two ranch-type structures in country settings which in effect are expositions of plywood.
The homes, designed by Architect Frederick E. Sloan of Golf, Ill., have siding of Resnprest Exterior type Douglas fir plywood and fir plywood for structural applications inside and out. Further, the interiors of the delightful homes present a repertoire of woods.. For numerous different hardwood panels were specified to enhance the atmosphere of individual living spaces.
Emory E. Moore and Jack K. Fiddes are the owners of the pleasantly modern structures. Both are well known in Pacific Northwest plywood circles, and Moore was in plywood production prior to entering the jobbing business in the midwest city.
These hardwood plywoods were employed by the architect for interior finishes of various rooms in each of the structures: white oak, walnut, prima vera, mahogany, elm, walnut, birch, gum and cyprus. In most instances the panels were stained to retain the natural wood beauty, but in some rooms of either house, the plywood was papered or painted.
While Douglas fir plywood is little in evidence in the completed homes, with the exception of the exterior siding, the basic construction plywood was used throughout for sheathing, subflooring and roof decking. Walls of the homes are sheathed on the outside with fu-inch fir plywood, and this same material in the 5/I6-inch thickness was utilized as sheathing on all interior surfaces as a backing for the finish paneling.
Both homes are of low, rambling design with attached garages. Extreme dimensions of the Moore residence are 93' l" by 69'7" including a large porch and the attached double garage. A wing at one end provides three bedrooms

and two baths; center area is devoted to a living room, dining room, study and recreation hall. Kitcheil, breakfast riook, laundry and maid's room with bath are grouped at the end opposite bedrooms.
Extreme length of tl-re Fiddes home is 107' including the breezeway and double garage which, together, account for about 35 feet of the over-all length. At its widest point, the wing in which three bedrooms and two baths are located, is 53'. Central part of the home, appreciably narrower, provides living room, dining room, recreation room, kitchen, breakfast room and fourth bedroom with bath.
Exterior Douglas fir plywood siding was installed on both structures in 16" widths and with panel edges beveled slightly to provide horizontal shadorv lines.

Socket head machine screws then bolt the plywood surface to the framing members below. This affords a flush joint between sections with only the small counter-sunk, hexagonal screw breaking the surface of the panel. Lateral plywood joints are staggered.
The plywood sections are lettered on the back to indicate the exact position where each belongs and to facilitate i.nstallation of the floor. The plywood is finished with a special preparation for gymnasium floors manufactured by the Hillyard Co.
Now the management's difficulties are solved. Once the basketball game is over, the floor sections are taken up, sticked on skids and hauled to a.storage shed. It tl,en takes but a short time to smooth the ice surface in preparation for the hockey practice or league game to follow.

The use of Douglas fir plywood in the construction of portable basketball floors is not new. However, its use in this field has solved a unique problem at Philadelphia, Pa', thus adding to the long list of applications that in the aggregate prove the extreme versatility of the panel material.
The management of the Philadelphia arena, home floor of the Philadelphia Warriors professional basketball team, and ice rink for the Philadelphia Rockets hockey team, was confronted with a serious problem. A league basketball game and a hockey match were scheduled for alternate nights. This meant that once the ice had formed on the concrete floor for the hockey inatch, there wasn't time to defrost it and lay a wood floor for the basketball game the following night.
Solution of the parodox was achieved by laying a sectional floor of Exterior type Douglas fir plywood directly over the ice. This was accomplished in six hours with a crew of ?0 men.
The /a-inch panels were laid in 4 x I?-foot sections supported by l% x 4-inch joists, or battens, placed flat and 15 inches on centers parallel with the length of the panels. Plywood is secured to battens with wood screws and waterproof glue. Battens along two adjacent edges of each section extend 2 inches beyond while the battens along the opposite side are set back 2 inches.
Joining of the sections, with the plywood of one overlapping the batten of the other, is accomplished with special'anchor nuts manufactured by the South Chester Corp. oI Chester, Pa. These special serrated anchoring devices were inserted and glued into both the plywood panel and
To provide better service for West Coast users the Roddis Lumber and Veneer Co. of Marshfield, Wisconsin, announces the establishment of a new plywood and door wholesale outlet in San Francisco. The new concern' Roddiscraft, Inc., a California corporation, will operate a 30,000 square foot warehouse at 345 Williams Ave. The phone number is Juniper 4-2136.
Now in operation, the warehouse'carries a complete stock of native an{ imported hardwood plywood; Douglas Fir plywood and allied lumber products. Also on hand are Douglas Fir panel doors, the Roddiscraft solid core flush door and the Roddiscraft light weight flush door. Specifications are tailored to fit local requirements.
Included in stock on hand are such special items as bending panels, counterfronts, hardwood cupboard doors and die stock. In short, every effort has been made to offer Noithern California and Northwest users a complete range of material to fit their specific needs.
The warehouse will be under the management of Ed. F' Halligan, formerly in charge of the Roddis warehouse in Milwaukee, Wis'consin. Mr. Halligan, a 37-year-old former New Yorker, came with the Roddis organization a few years ago from the eastern office of National Gypsum. He will be assisted in the new office by Ted Magarian, formerly rvith the Roddis Lumber and Veneer Co. at Detroit, Michigan.
The opening of Roddiscraft, Inc. marks the l2th wholesale warehouse for the company and the second on the west coast. Roddis California, Inc., was opened in Los Angeles in February L947.

constructing a lightweight boat for use on various rivers on the Olympic peninsula. Particularly, the boat was intended for use where it would have to be carried in about three-quarters of a mile, and minimum weight rvas of the essence.
Today, longitudinal framing wherein plywood planking is employed without transverse ribs is favored by a number of small boat builders.
"I can safely say that I have traveled more than 1,000 miles-perhaps 2,000-up and down the streams of the llympic peninsula in this sturdy boat," Birk reports. 4 re,cord of the streams that he and his friends have fished sounds like listing of the rivers of the area: the Satsop, Wynoochee, Quinault, Chehalis, Sol Duc, Hoh and Skokomish.
In addition, the boat was used for five years on llood Canal the year around. It has traveled as far or farther in salt water, therefore, than fresh. Most of the use on the canal, of course, was with an outboard motor whereas most of the use on streams was with oars.
Birk, the olvner of a drug company bearing his name and with stores at Aberdeen and Port Angeles, announced the boat was in good condition and ready for many years of service when the plywood company "bought back" their material this summer. In fact, he took the boat out {or a final spin on the Wynoochee river before surrendering it.
A factory which will produce one million feet. of rough fir plywood a month is now under construction at Willits, Calif., by Industrial Plywood Corp.

The Kalpine Plywood Company, Klamath Falls, Oregon, produced approximately 24 million feet of plywood in 1947. They plan to increase their production to 30 million feet in 1948, and their cut so far this year is proceeding at that rate.

An informal meeting of members of the Philippine Mahogany Association was held in the office of President Walter G. Scrim in Los Angeles on June 11, at which was discussed the recently announced increase in freight rates on logs and lumber from the Islands to this country. As a result of the discussions, the Association sent a cable to the Associated Steamship Lines at Manila, protesting against the increases, and questioning the wisdom of the move by the steamship lines. The cable called attention to the fact that Philippine lumber has been out of the American markets for years due to the war, and that it is only now being re-introduced to this trade, and that increased costs of bringing it here at this time would be very likely to result in loss of sales and tonnage to all concerned. Postponement of the proposed freight increases was requested.

"Red Label" is the new grade name grade red cedar shingles, according to by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau.
an announcement
The change in name, states W. W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager of the Bureau, has been made in deference to hundreds of requests from retail lumber dealers in all sections of the country, who have stated that the sale of this excellent shingle would be expedited if it had a name more in keeping with its merits than the numerical designation previously employed.
"A great mAny dealers have reported to us that their sales of our second-grade Certigrade shingles are being retarded by the No. 2 name itself, which does not adequately reflect the many features of the shingle," Woodbridge said. "It has been pointed out that these shingles are clear of knots and other defects for a full 12 inches above the butt and that in roof construction this provides two complete layers of all-clear wood throughout the roof. Furthermore, being 12 inches clear, these shingles are excellently suited for sidervall construction where extended weather exposures are poPular.
"The member mills of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, in view of these many requests, have voted to eiiminate the number o'2" from the label and substitute "Red Label" as the official narire of this grade shingle," Woodbridge continuecl. "It will ,be remembered that the No- 2 Certigrade label rn'as printed in a red color and so this new Certigrade label rvill conform to the old one in this respect, as 'ivell as in general layout and form.
"It should be emphasized," he stated, "that this is a change in name only, and that the grade remains the same as before. The change is being made solely for merchandising purposes-to help the dealer in selling these shingles' It also should be remembered that the Certigrade labels on other grades ars'not affected or changed in any way."
Woodbridge pointed out that the new grade-name rvill affect th6 output of approxiinately 100 red cedar shingle producers in the Pacific Northwest'ivho comptnise the membership of the Red CedarShingle Bureau and whose shingles are ideniified by the well-knorvn Certigrade tradename.
Contractors are being told why it is so important to buy h4rdwood flooring through recognized sources of supply in current advertising of E. L. Bruce Co. appearing in leading builder magazines.
A typical Bruce advertisement is headed "Hardwood Flooring has to be bought on confidence. There's no bigger gamble than the purchase of unbranded flooring through 'fly-by-night' sources of supply." It then goes on to say:
"I{ardwood flooring, more than almost any other building material, must be purchased on the reputation of the manufa'cturer and the integrity of the dealer who sells it. Flooring is received in wire-bound bundlbs, making it impractical to examine individual pieces, as you can do when unloading lumber. Furthermore, even closest scrutiny of every strip will not disclose shortcomings in seasoning or certain defects in manufacture. These will become apparent only as the flooring is being laid, or after the floor has been in use.
"When you buy flooring through unknown sources," the Bruce advertising reminds contractors, "you have no recourse. You don't know what you're getting until it's too late ! Protect the home brlyer, and yourself, by purchasing accepted brands of flooring through recognized, reliable dealers."
The current Bruce advertisement to contractors appears on page 9 of this issue.
Since Earl Long, brother of the former Gove.rnor and Senator Huey Long, became Governor of Louisiana, he has increased the severance tax, which includes timber, one hundred per cent. Increased taxation on business all along the line is being developed by the new administration, some taxes having been_ raised six or seven lrundred oer cent.
Jhe Japanese Ministry of Agriculture and.,tbrestry annoinces that the Japanese log production in 1947 totalled 6,256,464,Un feet, as compared with 5,497,954ru0 the previous year.

The following resplutions..were adopted: (1) Urging the Motor Vehicle !.epaltment qt 9_"lilqrni4 tg a{jqst Jegisl tration .fees on lift trucks.

It was announced that the Lumber Merchants A'ssociation of Northern California and the Southern California Retail Lumber Association will act as joint hosts to the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association at their annual convention to be held at Hotel Del Coronado, Coronado, Calif., October 17 to 21, 1949.
The directors voted to hold the annual convention of' the Association in the spring rather than in the fall as in the past. This was done in ^oider to cooperate with the other regional associations which hold spring" meetings; and also to avoid conflict with the annual fall meeting of the National.
President George K. Adams presided at the luncheon and introduced the speaker, Ed Gavin, of Chicago, editor of the American Builder.
Mr. Gavin gave an excellent talk on present day conditions in the building industries, and in conciusion said that the dealer's big job today is to offset the left-wing propaganda to the effect that the housins industry is less efficient and less economical than other industries, and that the best way to do this is through their regional associations and the National Association. He stressed the :point that houses are a better buy than almost any other commodity, and recommended that dealers publicize this fact

That the timeless and gracious charm of colonial archi. tecture and woodwork are adaptable to modern livingand are high in public preference-is illustrated in the "guest house" recently opened by F. Schumacher & Company, well-known decorative fabric concern at 54 West 40th Street. New York.
Ponderosa Pine Woodwork has been used exclusively throughout these rooms, which are a duplication of some of the better-known rooms in the Williamsburg Restoration, Williamsburg, Va.
Karl Bock, preSident of the American Institute of Decorators, who supervised the installation, states that, despite demand in some circles for modern design, decorators today receive more calls than ever before for traditional settings that are representd by the Williamsburg Restoration.
Numerous surveys made by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork also indicate a strong preference for traditional architecture as well as for the charm and friendliness which Ponderosa Pine Woodwork provides.
Much of today's stock design Ponderosa Pine Woodwork still embodies the basic lines of early American design, thus enabling today's home owners to capture the everappealing colonial atmosphere. For example, many panel doors of Ponderosa Pine are directly descended, in design and proportions, from originals found in historic houses. Many Ponderosa Pine windows, too, embody distinctly colonial characteristics and are therefore ideal for use where it is desired to create a colonial atmosphere. Ponderosa Pine officials point out that the moderate cost of Ponderosa Pine stock woodwork makes it possible to use it even in the low-cost home.
Hammond Lumber Company has erected at the St. Helena, Calif., yard a wet-mix conerete*plalt, which is now ready for busirress.
The installation includes a new all-steel Noble batching plant, and two Rex mixing trucks, each of 4f-yard capacity.
The company will continue to handle dry cement.

Portland, Ore., June l7-Despite floods, a boom men strike and early vacations, the Pacific Northwest's Douglas fir lumber industry has continued to maintain record production.
In the first 21 weeks of this year, the cut was 100 million board feet above the like period last year, reports H. E. Smith,'secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. He said the 3,343,336,000 feet manufactured so far this year is proof of the industry's capacity to supply the nation's lumber requirements.
Full impact of the destructive flood which has closed virtually every sawmill along the Columbia River, will be reflected in June and July production figures, Smith pointed out. He said some mills may remain closed for repairs for two months after flood waters recede because the damage is so extensive.
Despite these disrupting influences on production, Smith said the possibility is excellent that this year's cut will match or exceed last year's 8,344,000,000 board feet.
Weekly average production in May was 139,472,000, or 89.7% of the 1942-1947 average. April's production was 148,339,000. Orders in May averaged 160,684,000 weekly and shipments 154,649,000.
The industry's unfilled order file stood at 754,O20,000 board feet at the end of May; gross stocks at 447,407,60.
Lumber shipments of. 414 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer, National Lumber Manufactdrers Association, were 10.1 per cent below production for the week ending June 12, 1948. In the same week new orders of these mills were 13.2 per bent below production. Unfilled order files of the reporting mills amount to 62 per cent of stocks.

Nerv York, June l7-Full support of California's efforts to reduce forest fire losses was promised today to Governor Earl Warren by Robert G. Fairburn, president of The Diamond Match Cornpany.
Mr. Fairburn told Governor Warren that in line with established policy to conserve tl.re nation's natural resotlrces the company had launched a campaign in California and eight other states, using book match covers to rvarn of carelessness with fire.
"Our cohpany," Mr. Fairburn told Governor Warren, "has begun free distribution to vacationists, fishermen, hunters and visitors of book matches bearing cautions against carelessness with fire in the woods. These book matches 'ivill be handed out by employees at the company's 67 lumber yards and other facilities in your state as well as by members of the U. S. Forest Service. We are hopeful that the caution printed on the matches will be helpful in reducing losses by 'rvarning the smoker and the camper at the very moment he makes a light.
"This same free distribution system is being used in other states r,r'ith more than 700,000 books of matches to be printed as a starter for the campaign."
The ladies were invited to attend the dinner meeting of the Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club. held on Wednesdav evening, June 16.
