All Union Negoticltions

A group of some 40 San Francisco lumber dealers met in the offices of Gamerston & Green Lumber Co. last month to establish an association for the sole purpose of handling union negotiations between the association and the Lumber Clerks and Lumbermen lJnion Local 2559, and the Brotherhood of Teamsters and Auto Truck Drivers Union Local 85. Heretofore, in San Francisco, the lumber dealers had been negotiating with the unions individua11y.

Now, one month later, the San Francisco Lumber Dealers Association contains 43 member firms, with the membership continuing to grow, according to Harry B. Garnerston. In addition to Mr. Gamerston, president of the association. other officers include Milton Beronio, Beronio Lumber Co., vice-president, and Jack Kaefer, U.S. Plyu'ood Corp., secretary. Directors of the association are as follows: Bob Kahn, Forsyth Hardwood Co. ; Fred Windeler, George Windeler Co., Ltd.; Leon Cohn, Cut Rate Wrecking & Lumber Co.; J. E. Higgins, Jt., J' E. Higgins Lumber Company, and the aforementioned officers.

The association, representing practically every lumber concern with a yard or warehouse within the city limits of San Francisco, is made up of the following member firms:

Acme Manufacturing Co., fnc., Associated Plywood l,{ills, Inc., Bayshore Lumber Co., Beronio Lumber Co., Big Bear Lumber Co., E. S. Brush & Sons, F. S. Buckley Door Co., City Builclers Supply Co., Cut Rate Wrecking

tlumberments Informotion Forumt Stqrted by Son Jooquin Hoo-Hoo

Directors of San Joaquin Hoo-Hoo Club 31 have orgarrized a free "Lumbermen's Information Forum" to cover such important phases of the business as selling, merchandishing and spreading information. Admission will be free to all meetings. The club's directors are sponsoring the idea as a business-builder for members, believing that information and ideas are the life-blood of the industry and it can best present new merchandising methods, new methods of application for the do-it-yourself trade, and new building materials to dealers through the fraternal medium of Hoo-Hoo.

The first class was held November 12 at 8 p.m., featuring W. Daht Wheeler, Dale Carnegie instructor, on "Human Relations." The club pointed out that such a course would ordinarily cost plenty but was being made available free through the Hoo-Hoo membership.

There will be nine Information Forum meetings in all, one a month, to be held in the meeting room of the Marion Nine Lumber Co., Clovis and Ventura avenues, Fresno. Everyone in the industry is invited to the forums and, while Club 31 sponsors the idea, it is not necessary to be a member to attend them. Registrations may be made with Bud Barber, 1833 Broadway, in Fresno, Calif., or phone 2-7134. Hamilton Knott and J. C. Snead are the Lumbermen's Information Forum committee.

Myrrle Avenue Lumber Co. Grew on S-Point Progrqm With Budget Accounl Plcln rhe Customer Clincher

Eight years ago this past spring, the five-acre plant rvhich now houses the Myrtle Avenue Lumber Ccmpan,v, X{onrovia., California, lvas a typical Southland orang,e grove, and the first office of the organization was a onecar 8'arage.

With careful planning and aggressive merchandising under the guidance of General Manager Norbert Bundschuh, this retail lumber yard is now one of the most modern service organizations in the San Gabriel Valley, handling a full line of rough and finish lumber, paints, hardware, tools, plumbing and electrical equipment for the building trade.

The strong position in which this company finds itseif today rvas based on a five-point program:

1. Courteous service to all customers regardless of the size of the order.

2. Quality merchandise at competitive market prices.

3. Community goodrvill through participation in civic enterprises.

4. Constructive advertising campaigns.

5. Budget account plans for customers desiring sir rnonths' credit for anything sold by the company.

The first four points of the program have been policies that have been in effect since the concern rvas foundecl. The budget plan n'as established three years ago after r:areful study, to help the small homeowner and do-it-yourself iveekencl carpenter complete the job quickly and pay for it later.

"We believe a happry customer is our best advertiser and if rve can help by using discretion in extending credit, 'we have aided the builder to bring his project to quick conclusion," said Norb Bundschuh. The amiable personnel of the Myrtle Avenue Lumber Company rvill assist in full financing regardless of the customer's project, and no matter horv large, or small. the needs for the job.

Use Number System to Wait on Customers

The Ilfyrtle A'i'enue Lumber Company is located in a semi-industrial, agricultural and residential area, and carries every necessary item needed to complete an industrial or home job. On Saturdays and r,veekends, a number

system has been established and has been the answer trt orderly conduct of business.

"Where 25 to 50 customers are waiting their turn, it is essential that a first-come, first-serve policy prevail to rnaintain goodwill," Bundschuh declared.

"The weekend contractor and do-it-yourself r'vorker has become an important man to us, and this business has developed into a good percentage of our overall sales. So, it is just good businesf' to see that quality merchandise and good service go hand in hand," he continued.

In addition to various species of lumber, moulding and trim, this live-wire firm also stocks a complete line .,,f interior ancl exterior panels, both hardrvood and softwootl, imported and domestic. Attractive displays of all items zrre maintained to encourage over-the-counter sales.

And last, but not least, a modern "planning room" is available rvhere the home builder can g'o over drau'ings, layouts, plan books and secure estimating service artd irdvice regarding any building problem, whether it be an improvement project of remodeling or the construction of a new home. The company does not do any contracting itself, but u,orks closely with the builder and his contractor to help bring every job to satisfactory conclusion.

Test Shows Southern Pine Deccry

Washinggon--A simple color test to detect early decay in Southern Fine, poles, piling, and pests in storage was developed recently by the Forest Products I-aboratory in Madison, Wis., the U. S. Department of Agriculture announced. When a solution of Alizarine Red S is applied to freshly-cut end surfaces of Southern Pine round stock, decay infected areas turn yellow, even in the earl.,' stages. Uninfected wood becomes distinctly red. The Forest Service says this discovery, which detects decay earlier than any other known method, will be a savings to plant operators who store stock to be treated with preservatives s,ince small amounts of decay may seriously affect the later performance of treated wood.

My friend, Doctor Jack Brannon, comes up with this one:

A motorist was driving past the insane asylum on the edge of town, when one of his tires blew out. He pulled over to the side of the road to change it. Just a few feet away was the high wire fence that circled the asylum.

As he proceeded with the job of changing tires, a man inside the fence watched him with interest. The motorist unscrewed the four lugs that held the ruined tire on the wheel, and dropped them down at his feet, then pulled off the tire. As he did so he discovered that he had dropped the four lugs into the manhole of the street sewer, and they were gone. Perplexed and disgusted with his own carelessness, he just stood and fumed.

The man inside the fence said: "Don't you know what to do?"

He said he couldn't think of anything at the moment.

The inmate said: "Look. There are four lugs on each

of the other three tires in your car. Take one lug off of each wheel, and use them to fasten your spare tire on the wheel. Then you will have three lugs on each tire of the car, which will take you to the nearest service station, and you can get fixed up."

The motorist listened in open-mouthed wonder. He said: "That's the smartest advice I ever heard. I don't believe you're ctazy."

The inmate said: "Oh, I'm crazy all right! BUT I'M NOT STUPID!''

Mr. Gaines then gave his annual address rrr rvhich he covered the accomplishments of the association during the past year, and thanked all of those who rvorked so diligently in helping to make the year that just passed a splendid success. He urged the continued cooperation of all hardwood men and asked them to clo their best to get others to help in the work of the association. He also paid credit to the Hardwood Exhibit rvhich is maintained in Chicago, and urged the entire hardwood industry to join in promoting it and supporting it financially.

In concluding his address, he said, "It is thrilling to see such a large registration of delegates at this convention, which I am sure denotes your continuing intere:it in your association. I cordially rvelcome you to participate in all the sessions, and trust that you will have a thoroughly enjoyable time. May you have a safe homeward journey, and may you be blessed with a bountifrrl measure of all the good things of life."

Martin W. Coffey, director of sales of the Philip Carey Manufacturing Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, was the next speaker and gave an excellent inspirational talk on the subject of "selling America." "There rvill be a prosperous and profitable market for those geared and equipped to handle the selling job ahead," he said. "Nothing ever starts until a sale is made." he stated.

A "Hardwood Market Forum" with Stanley F. Horn, editor of the Southern Lumberman, acting as moderator u'as the last subject discussed at the morning session. tt rvas the consensus of the forum although the industry is faced with ever-increasing costs that all firms, large and small alike, should emphasize their selling efforts and enlarge their advertising appropriations in order to obtain their share of the consumer's dollar for the hardr'l'ood market.

Wednesday Morning

President Gaines presided. L. C. Nicely, director c,f the John W. McClure School, introduced Carl C. King of West Point, Ga., one of the recent graduates of the Memphis school, who made a brief talk on u'hat the school had accomplished for him and his classmates.

Two members of the Corp of Er-rgineers o{ the U.S. -Army, St. Louis, w'ere introduced, Wayne Bradtey and Joseph Kochanski. In their remarks, they anticipated that purchases of hardwoods for the Corps of Engineers would be 5 to I0/o higher than last year.

The next speaker rvas Joseph F. Leopold, South Central Division Manager of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Dallas, rvhose subject was "IJncle Sam Must Ncit Compete With His Taxpayers." He said that the futur-e welfare of the country depends on getting the government out of business.

J. P. Hamer, chairman of the Rules Committee, recommended several changes in the rules. Each of the rules rvere taken up separately and after a full discussion by the delegates were given a favorable vote.

Carl Rishell, director of the laboratory of the Timber Engineering Co., presented a motion picture entitled "Teco Hardwood Research" rvhich pointed out to the delegates the fine work the research laboratory is doing.

fhursday Morning

The annual report of Joseph L. I\fuller, executive officer of the association, rvas made on Thursday morning, the closing session of the convention. Mr. Muller gave a detailed account of his stervardship together with that oi the staff of the NHLA {or the past year.

He reported that although the industry at large had suffered approximately a 23/o decline, the association itself experienced a l0/o decline in calls for service resuiting in a decrease of $81,01 in income from the inspectiorr department. During the 12 months, the inspection staff certified to 249,926,468 feet of lumber, as compared with 277,458,611 feet the previous )'ear.

Top-Rqnk Housing Officiols Tell Decrlers of Building Outlook, Loclns clnd HelPful Aids crt NR.LDA Meeting

New York-A comprehensive picture of the new Housing Act and its implications for the public and the retail lumber dealer were presented to dealers by three top ranking housing officials at the October board of director's meeting and marketing forums held by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association during the Exposition October 2-10. The speakers were Albert M. Cole, administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency; Norman P. Mason, commissioner of the Federal Housing Agency, and C. B. Sweet, director of FHA's Title I program.

"I know a little bit about lumber dealers. And froin what I know, they're good men to call on when you have a tough job to be done. You see, I know a lumber dealer myself his name is Norman Mason," said Mr. Cole.

"And f don't know anyone who better exemplifies the private business man as a public-spirited citizen than Norm Mason. He took over a difficult job when we needed him. He didn't seek the job and he didn't really want it. But rvhen the President asked him to assume the duties of FHA Commissioner, he said he would.

"Mason Accomplished Outstanding Results"

"And rvith energv and enthusiasm, he has accomplished outstanding results under uncommon diffrculties. He has given the FHA a new morale and a new public esteem. He I.ras made the FHA into the strongest service organization in our history. But I didn't come here to sell you on Norman Mason. I know you don't need to be sold on him . and besides, he isn't for sale.

"I came here to sell you on something else . . on the leed for actionresolute, hard-hitting, uncompromising action-to bring more homes, better homes, and better cities to the American people. We can make the coming )/ears our best years in housing and community living if rve are ready to respond to that kind of call.

"This is not a nerv kind of job for you. You've been selling ideas for better homes in your communities for lnany years. That has been your business.

"You've got to form those teams yourselves in your olvn home communities. As I told you, I have a lot of confidence in you lumber dealers in this sort of game I've got a good one on my own team," concluded Cole.

Norman Mason told the dealers: "This housing program of President Eisenhower's is geared to the private

enterprise appproach. The principal recipient of its benefits is the fellorv for r,vhom it was designed, and that's the borrower-the consumer. I{e gets the primary benefits and he pays the bill-nothing very radical about that. One of my jobs is to see that this fellow who pays the bill gets his money's worth.

"Almost immediately after the President signed the Housing Act of 1954, home buyers rushed to FHA's field cffices from coast to coast. They made last August the biggest August in FHA's history in terms of home mortgage applications. Nearly 54.000 such applications r'vere received by our offices.

Describes New Housing Act Terms

"We hope to develop housing standards which will assure the home owner of a more livable house r.vhich will cost him less for gtaintenance in the long haul. When news gets around that a $17,000 home can be contracted for today with practically the same down payment as that formerly asked for a $12,000 model-that can spell only one thing-increased demand.

"When people hear that thev can put dorvn only half as much as tl-rey formerly needed and still move right into a $12,000 home-that spells business. That's right-only $1,200 cash is needed today for a $12,000 house. BeIore the second of August, it was $2,400. I don't have to tell you what this change rvill mean to the market.

"Your supply of materials today is the best in our history. ft augurs well for your chances of meeting tomorrorv's increasing demands. Recalling the shortages and restrictions we labored under in '47 and '48, when I rv:rs your president, I think gratefully of your rvell-stocked racks and the quality of the products today.

"I can't picture any sudden dropping off in the neecl for dealers'services. There'll be cycles, of course. Bu,t I think of the growing, continuing need for building materials; of the everlasting need for renovating the old and building the new," declared Commissioner Mason.

Cy Sweet Tells of Program

C. B. Sweet told NRLDA's board of directors, "The particular program with which I am concerned is a self-.ustaining one. It is not the type that is conducive io cleveloping bureaucrats. It is not a tax-eater in any sense of the rvord. It is a Droducer. Out of the income from

insurance charges the program not only has produced enough money to pay all claims and operating costs since 1939, but it has made full return to the Treasury of the 8 1/3 million dollars originally advanced for operating capital and, in addition, it has built up a surplus of over 30 million dollars in the Title I fnsurance Reserve Fund.

"While I am on this point, I may add, too, that the over-all activities of FHA for the fiscal year 1954, for instance, produced an income of 128 million dollars while the outlay was only 74 million, leaving a net earned income for the year of about 54 million.

"For the past two years repair and modernization loans insured under Title I have exceeded one billion dollars annually. Practically all of these loans involve materials which are stocked by the local retail dealers.

1,500,000 Title I Loans Annually

"Title I loans are now being made at the rate of a million and a half annually, the average of which is about $600. There are two types of loans made-(l) direct-toborrower, and (2) dealer-originated loans. Between 80 end X)/o are of the dealer-originated type.

"There are six principal steps the dealer takes in the origination and consummation of a Title I loan transaction: First, he computes the total cost of the job; Second, he has the customer complete the credit application; Third, he sends the completed credit application and copy of the contract to the lending institution; Fourth, he does the work; Fifth, he has the loan papers executed, including a completion certificate signed by the customer; Sixth, he presents the note and related papers to the lending institution and receives cash in full payment for his services,,' pointed out Cy Sweet.

"fn my opinion, we now have the most practical housing legislation this country has ever known. I am confident it will stimulate record activity both in the construction 'rf new homes and in the rehabilitation of existing homes. It will permit you to expand your operation. It offers you the opportunity to do a better job than ever of serving your own people.

Rely on Dealers for Home fmprovements

"The elimination of the crooked salesman and fly-bv- night dealer will greatly improve the position of the established retail lumber dealers in the local communities. And it is here where you, if you are not already participating in the program, may step in and better your own respe,ctive communities. They, in turn, will learn to rely on you for home repairs and modernization rather than rx glib salesmen from out of town who seek to get their money for shoddy work and inferior materials rvithout giving value for the money received,,' continued the Cali_ fornian.

"ft has been estimated that to meet adequately the real housing needs of our people it will require an average an_ nual construction of 1,400,@O new homes, and the new conditioning of another 600,000 existing dwellings each year for the next ten years. The new Housing Act will be of tremendous help along this line. And in another five or six years it is quite likely that our current housing sights r,vill have to be raised still further," concluded Mr. Sweet.

TilC SfeffORD SUDI: A'IIERICA'S DEMAND FOR WOOD

1929 - r97s

Summary of a report by Stanford Research Institute, Stanford, Calif., to Weyerhaeuser T'imber Company, Tacoma, Ilash., 1954.

Part IV

The roof is now the most important component of the dwelling unit in terms of actual lumber consumptionl Next is the floor, followed by exterior and interior walls. These four components account for more than 7O/o of. the lumber consumed per dwelling unit.

Offsetting the shrinkage in the roof market due to decreasing dwelling-unit size and lower roof pitch has been a change in lumber consumption in roof sheathing due tc the trend from stiff wooden shingles, which required only ligh't, spaced sheathing, to limp coverings such as asphalt shingles and composition roofing, which require solid sheathing. Furthermore, as pitch decreased, the size of supporting members increased, which aided lumber's market for roof framing. The increased proportion of onestory houses also increased average roof area per unit. The decline projected to 1975 in lumber consumption in roofs reflects expected increasing competition from sheet materials.

TOTAL CONSUMPTION OF LUMBER PER DWELLING UNIT BY TYPE OF LUMBER

Lumber consumed in floors dropped more than 50o7b irom 1920 to 1953 due to inroads made by slabs, the decline in the percentage of dwellings having any subfloor, aind increasing competition from plywood and hardboard subflooring. Lumber's share of the potential floor market declined from about 96/o in 1920 to about ffi/o in 1953. By 1975, lumber is expected to have about 37/a of its ,inaximum possible usage in floors.

The 360/" drop in lumber consumption for exterior walls between 1920 and 1953 was due primarily to the shrinkirrg size of dwelling units and the shift toward single-story construction. Offsetting losses in sheathing, caused by inroads of sheet materials, has been the increase in the proportion of frame structures to total structures. The expected continued decline to I97S is a result of the anticipated increase in masonry construction, a decline in the percentage of dwellings using sheathing materials of any type, further losses in the participation of lumber in the sheathing market, and a drop in the share of the exterior facing market taken by wood siding.

In addition to the decline in perimeter of interior walls, owing to the decline in average size of dwelling units, a drop in average ceiling height has accounted for a market loss. The consumption of lumber in interior walls is expected to remain at about today's level for the next 25 years, however, as the average cubic footage of dwelling units is expected to remain virtually unchanged. Lumber will probably continue its dominant position in the interior wall framing market. In interior wall surfacing, dry-wall construction increased ftom 20/o of the market in 1940 to 7O/o in 1953. Gypsum board is the dominant dry-wall material, accounting for more than 9O/o of the dry-wall potential.

Framing lumber had about 62/o of its maximum possible market in 1920, as compared with about 53/o in 1953. By 1975, f.raming lumber is expected to have abofi 48/o of. its possible maximum market. (This includes a minor quantity of finished boards used for interior walls and ceilings.)

Sheathing lumber accounted for about 8O/o of. the sheathing market in 1920, but only about 58/o in 1953. It rs estimated that by 1975 sheathing lumber will have only about 43/o of the potential sheathing market.

Although lumber siding increased its part in the exteriorfacing materials market from about 2l/o to about 281/o between 1920 and 1953, total consumption of siding per TABLE 7

LOSS OF LUMBER MARKET TO OTHER WOOD PRODUCTS IN NEW RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION (Millton Board Feet)

Board Foot Equivalent

<iwelling unit has slumped from about 400 board feet to about 325 board {eet. It is estimated that about 250 board Ieet of siding rvill be used per dwelling unit in 1975, representing about 23/o of total siding potential.

Hardrvood lumber consumption in 1953 accounted for only about 64/o of the maximum possible hardwood lumber market (flooring and millwork), as compared 'ivith a.bout 9B/o in 1920. It is estimated that by 1975 hardwood lumber rvill have 39/. of its total market, due largely to the loss of flooring markets, but also to stiff competition from other materials in millu'ork markets.

Some of the loss o{ lumber markets in residential building is to other forest products such as plywood, hardboard, and insulating board. These products accounted in 1953 for a little less than 72a/o of lumber's total loss of markets to competing materials. All three are expected to shorv substantial growth in residential building uses by 1975, and they are expected to account by that time for about l5/o of the total loss of lumber markets to competing materials.

Nonhousekeeping Units

The bulk of expenditures for nonhousekeeping units is for larger structures such as hotels and motor courrs. Lumber constumption per dollar of expenditure for such units has declined from 3 board feet in 1920 to 1.5 in 1952. It is estimated that by 1975 about 1.1 board feet of lumber lvill be used per dollar spent for new nonhousekeeping rrnits.

By ,combining this lumber-use factor with estimated ex1'renditures, 274 million board feet of lumber are expected

to be used in new nonhousekeeping units by 7975. This is about the same as the 278 million board feet consumed in 1952.

Additions and Alterations

Consumption in additions and alterations in 1953 represented about 4/o of total lumber consumption in construction of all types.

It is estimated that about one board foot of lumber was consumed per dollar of addition and alteration expenditures in 1953 ; it is expected that this lumber-use factor rvill decline by 1975 to about 0.85 board feet per clollar. Competition from ply'rvood, hardboard and insuiating board rvill tend to reduce the boards consumer per dollar of expenditure, but the quantity of dimension lumber consumed per dollar will probably remain at present levels.

The expected decline in the lumber-use factor, however, is offset by probable increases in total expenditures for this type of construction, from $1.1 billion in 1953 to $1.25 (at 1952 prices) by 1975. As a result, lumber used in additions and alterations is expected to remain close to present levels (about 1.i billion board feet annually) throughout the period to 1975.

Lumber Used in Nonresidential Construction

A special survey made in 1953 by Stanford Research Institute of 1,000 large non-residential contractors sholvs that lumber consumption in non-residential construction of all types can be allocated by end-use as follows:

don't you think

Lumber is used in preference to plywood, hardboard, or steel in concrete forms because it is more economical when large, smooth surfaces are not required. Lumber can be re-used for concrete forms and later utilized for bracing, shoring, or for temporary buildings and fencing. Because of the many possible re-uses, it appears likely that lumber will retain a portion of the concrete form market in future years. Plywood and hardboard provide the greatest competition in concrete forms where smooth surfaces are desired.

The closet competitors of lumber for framing, scaffolding, bracing, shoring, and decking are steel or concrete and steel. The principal advantage of lumber is its lower cost and its workability, resulting in lower total installed cost or total use cost. In many cases, however, steel or steel together with concrete are used because they offer additional strength.

An over-all decline of about 45/o in the board feet of lumber consumed per dollar of nonresidential construction is expected in the period between 1953 and 1975. These declines in lumber-use factors range from about 25/o in institutional building to 50/o in highway construction.

By combining these lumber-use factors with estimated expenditures for each type of nonresidential construction, estimates were made of lumber consumption for each of the target years. Estimates for 1953 and 1975 are shown below.

Supreme Senior Hoo-Hoo George Clough Addresses Son Diego Club Meeting

A rousing good meeting of the San Diego Hoo-Hoo was held October 22 at the San Diego Club there. The highlight of the evening was an informal talk by George Clough of the Clough Lumber Co., Los Angeles, lvho rvas elected Supreme Senior Hoo-Hoo at the recent Houstorl annual. He reported firsthand on the convention and a subsequent meeting of the Supreme 9 in Nerv York Citv.

Following the hospitality hour, an excellent baked harn dinner was served and Snark Bob Baker called for each man to rise and introduce the man on his left' The HotlHoo Quartet gave one number and then N{r. Clough spokc.

It is becoming increasingly important that local HooHoo clubs have the best possible programs of activitv, Clough reported an International recommendation. He said that new fnternational President Dolcater believes all locals should send their presidents to the annual each fall. The snark's expenses probably can be stood by the local clubs, it r'vas believed ("Probably by a retailer," spoke up a retail dealer in the audience).

Clough said there are no\v 13,000 paid members of HooHoo International, and current assets are $50,000. He reported that Charlie LeMaster, Sacramento, became Secr of the House of Ancients at the convention. Clough also urged members to study the club's monthly bulletin, 'ivhich he reported it costs $18,000 a year to produce. He added that California has the largest Hoo-Hoo membership of any state.

A standing vote of applause was tendered George Clough for his sincere talk.

Lyle Seibert, who also attended the annual, was called on to add a ferv remarks and was thanked for his prolific correspondence from Houston. An unknown voice from the audience volunteered that Seibert sent a postcard a{ter every meal.

Snark Baker next praised immediate past Snark Herschell Larrick, Jr. for having sent the incoming officer to the annual. Baker then announced a list of future special events of the San Diego club. They are:

February 25, the first Concatenation ; April 15, the "49'er;" May 13, an open meeting and "Old Timers' Night;" June 10, a dance; July 17, the annual Fish Fry, a poptllar event of the past six years, and August 12, Concat and election.

The Quartet sang additional numbers and gave encores by popular demand. For one number, they called on Bill Cowling, general manag'er of the Dixie Lumber Co., t'l join them in song. The evening's entertainment concluded with the showing of a color film on free enterprise in business, produced by the DuPont Company.

PAINT R,OSY PICTUR,E OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY BUITDING

One of the most impressive reports of the Los Angeles region's progress in California history was disclosed recently by the research department of the Security-First National bank, of which Conrad C. Jamison, a vice-president, is manager. The survey showed that total building and construction in Los Angeles county seem headed for a new, all-time high in 1954 after building permits atid engineering construction during the first nine months totaled $942,407,000. The county's population is believed io have increased 190,000 in the past year.

Allor,ving for seasonal factors, the nine-months figure is equivalent to approximately $1,2'10,000,000 per year. The previous record, by a substantial margin, was the

total of $1,226,872,00O established last year.

During 1954's first nine months, permits were issuc,l in Los Angeles county lor 64,415 family drvelling units --equivalent to Detween 84,000 and 85,000 per year. During the last nine years, permits were issued for 682,?1.1 family dwelling units in the county. By September, the real estate index had climbed back to the highest point since .fuly 1953. Present indications are that real estate loan recordings in the county will exceed $2,100,000,000 in 1954.

The present home price level averages 16/o higher than April 1950, and about 166/o above the 1940 level. Home building costs in the area are now about 2l times '*'hat they were prior to Word War II. "Passage of the Housing Act of 1954, with its liberalized provision for financing both new and existing homes, has had a stimulating effect," the survey says, and also discloses remarkable progress in Or:ange county, part of the Los Angeles Metr';politan district.

Builders Urge Speed-Up In GI-FHA Approisqls

New York--Home building industry leaclers at their annual fa1l conference here October 8-14 urged the immecliate hiring of additional government hottsing personnel to help clear up the existing backlog of applications from 'ivould-be home buyers who are seeking GI or FHA-insured mortgage loans. The builders warned that fast action rs needed to break a log-jam in the governmerit housing agencies which is preventing many thousands of families from ,rbtaining homes.

In quick response to the builders' recontmendations, Albert M. Cole, administrator of the Housing and }Iome Finance Agency, announced to the meeting that clearance has been received for the hiring of about 300 additional FHA employes to work on the backlog of mortgage insurance applications.

The conference, presided over by NAHB's President R. G. "Dick" Hughes of Pampa, Texas, covered the entire range of operations in the home building industry, vrhich is now in the final quarter of the second biggest year in its history. The home builders put particular em2hasis on the need for more help in VA and FHA field r;ffrces.

The building industry leaders endorsed the 1954 llousrng Act as "the most comprehensive and orogressive housing legislation of th6 past 20 years," but they urged strongiy that some of its more restrictive provisions-notably those dealing u,'ith guarantees-be modified in the interests of both home buyers and the industrv.

Normqn frloson Tells CREA Of New FHA Processes

Floyd Lowe of Palo Alto was elected president of the California Real E,state Association for 1955 at its golden anniversary convention held in San Francisco last month. The CREA now has a membership of 18,500, largest of any such organization. The convention was attended by 4,000 realtors.

Predictions of record construction and housing rehabilitation activity as a result of the nerv Housing Act o{ 1954 r,vere made to the delegates by FHA Commission,:r Norman P. Mason at a convention banquet, his first ofticial appearance on the Pacific coast as commissioner.

Immediate relaxation of FHA appraisal requirements on a major class of home loans rvas promised by Mason. He said the nerv policy was necessitated by heavy homebuyer demand created by the Housing Act of 1954, n'l-rich lowered dorvn payments and extended FHA loan terms.

Other new steps Mason described to expedite FHA processes were (1) in subdivision approvals, a prior commitment for loan insurance will be made based on a typical home plan, subject to final approval of the amount ,.rf insurable loan, so that plans can proceed lvithout ar,vaiting final FHA approval; and (2) deposits on property may be accepted and the option of the buyer to rescind may be eliminated by writing into the deposit receipt an estimate of the appraisal of the value of the property for FHA loan insurance purposesif the FHA appraisal equals or exceeds the value, the deposit is not rescindable.

Five Mistqkes in Life

1. The delusion that individual advancement is made l.ry crushing others down.

2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.

3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it.

4. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

5. Neglect in developing and refining the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading fine literature.

Officer, Do Your Dufy

Policeman-"Judge, this man is arrested for being drunk and disorderly."

!1snl-"Jour l{onor,'Man's inhumanity to man makes thousands mourn;' I'm not as debased as Swift, as profligate as Byron, as dissipated as Poe, or as debauched 29 -.,,

Judge-"That'll do. Thirty days. And officer, if you see them othere., run them in, too. They're as bad as he is."

The Moin Schedule

Time comes winging, whispering: "What about the years?

What about the darkness as the coming sunset nears?"

To which I have one answer, when all I have to say Is-"Never mind about the years-what about today?"

Time comes winging, whispering: "FIow the years go bv!

What about the twilight where the shadows hide the sky?"

Yes, the mists are gathering, Time is on the way, But never mind about the years-what about today?

Time comes winging, whispering: "The frost is in your hair;

The heavy mists are closing in where shadows only fare." Who bothers with the distant drum, or winds along the chart

If winter snows be on his head when spring is in his heart?

Moking Your Own World

The man who thinks the world is full of good people and kindly blessings is much richer than he who thinks the contrary. Each man largely peoples the world for himself. Some men live in a world peopled with princes of royal blood; some in a world of paupers and privation. You have your choice. To our moods the world is a looking glass. It smiles back at us if we smile; if we frown, it frowns.

Don'f Worry

Don't worry if your job is small

And your rewards are few;

Remember that the sturdy oak

Was once a nut like you.

The Wooden Axe Hcrndle

Why has the axe a wooden handle? As a matter of fact it would cost much less to equip an axe with a handle of various other materials-steel tubing, for instance. But these other materials, lacking the resiliency of wood, cannot absorb shock as wood does. The shocks would be transmitted to the hands. The wearing qualities, strength, and shock absorbing qualities of wood make it the perfect handle.

Dissqtisfoclion

Dissatisfaction with one's lot is the lever with which handicaps may be lifted, the motive power with which horizons may be pushed back, the food on which both mind and soul may grow to undreamed-of-dimensions, reaching even unto the infinite. Few are the dissatisfied people who are not in some measure benefited by contact with education, with culture, and refinement. From contact with these comes the wish to make more of life, not in the sense of accumulating mere things, but through appreciation of the high value of things unseen.

They Hcrve ttGive Intt

Mose-"Ah sees de ladies has finally give in."

Sam-"Whut you mean, give in?"

Mose-"Ah sees a sign down de street-'Ladies readyto-wear clothes'-dey mus have give in."

A Troubqdour's Proyer

Sweetheart, our life's a-wing, And youth's the time for mating, Where were the nests of spring, If birds were all for waiting?

Old age may chide the kiss

That found your moon-lit shoulder; But youth must seize its bliss, And age comes-when we're older.

If love be a dream that dies, Let day be far from breaking!

Cherish the faithful lies

That seal our eyes from waking. If all our heaven depart, With dreams that are but seeming, Then, let us dream, sweetheart, Till death, and die in dreaming.

Located about six miles south of Marysville, California, on highway 99E is a molding manufacturing plant owned by the T. M. Cobb Co., of Los Angeles. Leroy Smith, manager, recently constructed a trvo million foot capa,city lumber storage shed using the methods of economical poleframe construction.

This structure is 110 feet wide and IO feet long and is supported by six ro.lvs of Chemonite pressure treated poles set five feet in the ground. The poles in the outside rows are 25 f.eet in length, those in the intermediate rows are 271 feet in length, and those next to the aisle are 30 feet. They were placed on 2Gfoot centers in the rvidth of the building and on 22-loot centers in the length of the structure to provide room for placing lumber by mechanical fork lifts.

The structure was assembled in two sections, rn"ith a 3O-foot aisle between to provide easy access to any part

FHA Tokes Emergency Action to Speed Applicofion Processing

Emergency action to speed processing of applications for hardpressed homebuilders and lenders doing business .with the Federal Housing Administration was announced by Housing and llome Finance Administrator Albert M. Cole. Under a special arrangement for an increased rate of expenditures, FHA Commissioner Norman P. Mason authorized all FHA field offices which have backlogs to put in night rvork as necessary, and instructed all such field offices to remain open on Saturdays until further notice.

Commissioner Mason has also wired field offices the .-,-uthority to add another 300 employes to assist in processing applications on hand and additional ones coming in. Mason had earlier relaxed a long-standing FHA regulation in order to permit the temporary use of fee appraisers from private business to speed up handling of appraisal requests in the FHA offices.

Cole explained that since the passage of the Housing Act of 1954 by the last Congress, with its liberalized terms ior FHA insurance on both new and existing small homes, the field offices of FHA have been swamped with applications from builders and lenders. "The response has been r-nuch greater than the offrces could handle r,vith their present staff, even though we had already authorized some increases," Cole said. "The .ivhole thing was getting to be a very serious problem, because backlogs n'ere growing up and in some cases it took rveeks before a home builder could get a firm answer on which to base his plans."

Eurekq Redwood lumber Compony Publishes Two Color Brochures For Nqfionol Deqler Distribution

Two beautiful color brochurcs have been placed in circulation by Eureka Redwood Lumber Company, Eureka, California, a subsidiary of the M and \4 Wood Working Company, Portland, Oregon.

"The Titans," a story of the west's oldest lumber mill, is an illustrated history of the realm of the "lumberjack" and takes the reader back more than a century ago when Eureka was a small trading post protected from Indians by a military force commanded by Captain U. S. Grant.

Research credit and authentica- w' t' "Bltt" BRAUNING tion of material used in "The Titans" is given to W. L. (Bill) Brauning, general sales manager of Eureka Re,lwood Lumber Company, and Hyman Palais, professor of history and director of social sciences at Humboldt State College.

The first successful sawmill was established in Humboldt county in February 1852. One year later, early in 1853, the Bay Mill was constructed by Martin White, and this is the site of the present Eureka Redwood Lumber Company. The story continues through the decades of vast lumber production and steps that have been taken in connection with forest conservation. Long range planning to assure future crops through propagation, protection and efficient utilization of timber is the function of good forest management as supplied by the company to assure another century of service and quality lumber from its mills.

A11 of this, and more too, is told in the story of "'fhe Titans," which is available free to all retail lumber dealers throughout the United States.

The Malarkey Redwood "Brochure of Grades" in natural color is a I?-page tariff published for the exclusive guidance of lumber dealers, and covers every detail of sizes, thicknesses and uses of the Eureka Redrvood Lumber Company products. This brochure illustrates in full

"We Use ACE DOORS Becouse of Their Excellent Quqlity qnd Pro m pt, Eff icient Service"

color the widths available and Redrvood and its application.

The "'Brochure of Grades"

the actual appearance cf is a handy reference for salesmen, clerks and purchasing agents, and it, too, is available to the retail dealers at no cost. It is standard 8x10 size for filing along rvith other data used by progressive lumber concerns.

Both publications, "The Titans" and the "Bro,chure of Grades," may be obtained by contacting Dean Jones, Southern California sales manager, 7i81 East Firestone Boulevard, Dolvney, California, or from the home office of the company, Second and M Street, Eureka, California.

September Housing Srors Up

Nonfarm housing starts advanced in September to ll4,000, contrary to usual seasonal trends. The number of new nonfarm dwelling units started was 3 percent above the August figure; it exceeded September 1953 volume by 20 percent, making the second best September on record, according to preliminary estimates of the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Private housing starts, alone, stood at 111,900. On a seasonally adjusted annual rate, this represented l,Z3Z,Ufi starts. This annual rate lvas greater than for any month since January 1951. The strength of housebuilding activity in September may be attributed in large degree to the liberalized mortgage loan provisions of the Housing Act of. 1954, and to the ready availability of mortgage money on easy terms in most communities.

During the first nine months of 1954, the number of nelv dwelling units put under construction totaled 906,500, about 5 percent more than in January-September 1953 arrd above the total for any comparable period except in 1950. The near-record volume thus far in 1954 was achieved despite the drop in public housing over the year, from 32,6ffi units to 17.100 units.

"The mounting volume of housing construction, cottpled with a strike-caused curtailment of output in thc West Coast fir region, increased the third quarter demand for lumber from the Western Pine region. In s;pite of the fact that up to l5/o of our region's procluctive capacity was down during July and much of August, the region produced 2241 million feet, only 2.6/o less than during the third quarter of 1953. Shipments of 2257 million feet were 8.7/o ahead of last year.

"Lumber stocks in the region were reduced slightly during the third quarter. This is the first time in many years that shipments have exceeded production in that period' Stocks of about 1680 million feet are 101 million feet lower than a year ago and are better balanced because nearly all mills have disposed of any excess of low grade boards and dimension.

"Industrial consumption of lumber is lagging, except by those industries whose products go into construction. The rlemand for box shook has been running at least 20Vo behind last year. However, these bearish factors are more than offset by the fact that housing starts have exceeded last year's by 15 to 2O/o for every month since Mav' Furthermore, retailers who let their stocks decrease during the strike may be expected to increase them somewhat to take care of their current volume of business.

"Based upon such factors and all other available information as to prospective demand, it would seem probable that during the fourth quarter of 1954, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 1900 million feet, or about 8/o more than

Hollow Tree Redwood Compony to Long Beoch Heodquorters

Bill Moores, president of Hollow Tree Redwood Company, announces that headquarters of the 'ivholesale lumber concern has been moved to 110 West Ocean Boulcvard, Long Beach, California, in the first-class Ocean Center Buildir,g, where the company has maintained its sales office for the past several years.

Max Barnette, well known Southern California lumberman and former sales manager for Hollow Tree in the southwest, has been appointed general manager and will make his headquarters in Long Beach, according to Mr' Moores.

In line with the general changes taking place, Barnette has transferred F. L. "Brownie" Brown, eastern sales representative, from Chicago to Long Beach. Brown is a veteran of over 30 years' experience in lumber sales and, prior to joining the Hollow Tree organization two years ago, was middle-western representative for the Hammond Lumber Company.

Barnette also announced the appointment of Jim Hennessey, prominent in Northern California lumber circles, to head the Los Altos, California, sales offices with headquarters at 501 Los Ninos Way' Ken Schmidtke, who has been with Hollow Tree covering Southern California retail dealers and industrials, will remain in Long Beach

"In line with our general reorganization and remodeling program, the mills at Ukiah have been completely renovated. An additional Moore Dry Kiln has been installed and a new storage shed for finished products has recently been completed. Also, the company Pre-Drier is in the pro,cess of completion, rvhich rvill increase our production of dry lumber by many thousands of feet daily," declared Mr. Moores.

Last month Bill Moores, accompanied by NIax Barnette, flew to Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, Texas, calling on various lumber dealers and representatives of Hollorv Tree in the southwest.
