Intensive Advertising Gives
West Coast Lumber Top Spot
In Country's Retail Marts
Oregon's famed West coast lumber has now been given charm
and distinction.
In three short years of intensive national advertising, in competi
tion with the nation's best known products. West Coast lumber has
become the most sought after of all lumber species.
It is being demanded, in ever
Increasing quantities, by milady,
who has a pretty big say about
how the country's new homes are
built. More and more, architects
and designers specify West Cosst
woods for new schools, churches,
commercial and industrial build
ings. Much of this increased demand
for West coast woods, much of the
wider scceptance and greater ap
preciation of Douglas fir and other
species from this region, stems
from the three-year, nation-wide1
advertising and promotion cam
paign of the West Coast Lumber
men's Association. Results of this
program to personalize one-time
drab wood have been surprisingly
successful. ,
Lumbermen from this region,
members of the West Coast Lum
bermen's association, are being
given a larger share in planning
and executing the industry's 1950
nation-wide promotion and adver
tising. Douglas C aunty Men Named
Six Douglas county lumbermen
have been named to important key
committees of the association by
President D. W. Gossard.
Named from Douglas county are:
Henry N. Jscobion, Youngs Bsy
Lumber Co., Roseburg; D. B. Kee
ner, Sutherlin Timber Products Co.,
Sutherlin; C. B. Tobin, Yoncslla
Lumber Co., Yoncslla: M. L. Hall
mark, Douglas County Lumber
company, Roseburg; C. C. Studley,
Robert Dollar company, Glendale,
and Jim Whipple, E. G. Whipple
Co., Drain. ,
These men will serve on the
strong traffic, trade promotion and
car supply committees.
Gossard ssid that Douglas fir
and other West Coast lumber spe
cies have won the widest accept
ance they have had in more than
a quarter of a century. Each year
since 1946, with the stsrt of nation
al advertising of West coast woods
in 20 lesding national magaiines
and periodicals, lumber sales from
this region have increased, with
1941 the biggest year since the
roaring '20s.
Local lumbermen will be asked
to help shape plans for selling West
cosst lumber to the American con
sumer in even larger quantities.
Gossard paid high tribute to the
association's national advertising
and selling program, pointing out
that though lumber consumption
dropped off nationally in 1949, the
Douglas fir region reported gains
in sales and shipments.
"Douglas county's prosperity,"
Gosssrd said, "depends on whether
local mills can maintain full pro
duction and full employment. We
have had ample demonstration,
during the last three years, of sales
possibilities when we get out and
really promote West coaat lum
per.
"Every sawmill and every em
ployee in western Oregon profits
from the association's merchands
inr program." Gossard stated. "It
is to the interest of all local mill-
men to join with their time and
money to make certain this re
markably successful national lum
ber promotion program does not
lag tor want ol full industry sup
port." The association chieftain, him
self one of the outstanding lumber
ssles msnagers in the West coast
region, said the entire promotion
campaign costs the average saw
mill less than the wsges of a clean
up man around the mill.
Gossard said any mill operator
In this region not participating in
the national promotion effort, who
desired to help, should contact As
sociation headquartera in Portland.
In addition to national advertis
ing. Gossard said the association
hss supplied more than 1,100,000
pieces of literature on lumber use
on request to every state in tne
Union during 1949. A new color
and sound motion picture. "Lum
ber for Homes," is now ready for
showing and should prove a power
ful tool to help retailers sell more
West coast lumber, he said.

Establishment Of Second Capital
Would Present Tough Obstacles
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
There's lots of talk these dsys about having a second capital
for the government to skip off to in case we ge into an H-bomb war.
Rep. John Rankin, the Mississippi fireball, suggests we go under
ground at Mammoth Cave.Ky.
That presents some challenging
angles. Right off, a big problem
would be to find some echo-proof
chambers for Congress, for not
even the lawmakera could endure
a constant play-back of their own
sonorous phrases. It's bad enough
that they bump into them now in
the Congressional Record.
They shouldn't have too much
trouble running interference among
the stalactites, stalagmites and oth
er rocky obstacles dotting their
underground path. Years of experi
ence in fending off job-seeking
constituents would come in handy
here.
The standard gripe about climate
won't exactly fit at Mammoth,
though some undoubtedly would
find the place a trifle cool and
moist. We could expect a big boom
in sales of footwarmers, de-humidifiers,
heavy woolen goods.
And despite all cries for econ
omy, some new agencies would be
bound to spring up. Certainly a
federal bat control authority would
be one. Today anti-stream pollution
control gets attention. At ' Mam
moth, anti-stream control would be
more to the point.
Many members of capital offi
cialdom probably would feel safer
if their cave-dwelling were an
around-the-clock affair. But others
would surely prefer to climb out
of the hole at sundown and scatter
to snug Kentucky hide-outs. Vice
President Barkley, who hails from
Paducah, could easily slip home
weekends.
Ground Hog Day likely would be
matched by Congressman's Day.
If a lawmaker climbed out of the
cave and saw his shadow, it would
mean another year of an unbalanc
ed budget.
Vacations would pose a difficulty.
For short trips, near-by Fort Knox
might have some appeal. The place
could be expanded to include a
few choice suites. Snuggling up to
all that gold would be comforting
to men who had just voted another
ten billion.
About the only passable substi
tute for Florida or California would
be the giant Carlsbad Caverns in
New Mexico. Plenty of space there,
but you have to bring your own

Demoralizing Cod Shortage Stalked Nation's Industry During Last Week
By G. A. Phillips
NEW YORK, -41ft K demoral
ising coal shortage sulked the
nation last week. It imposed hard
ships on millions of individmls
and crippled business and indus
try. At the end of the week no re
liable evidence waa at hand to in
dicate how long the struggle be
tween the United Mine workers
and the coal operators would con
tinue. A federal court pondered the
union's guilt in ignoring a back-to-work
order and set Monday as
the earliest date any development
could be expected. The White
House continued a hands-off po
licy. The coal operators rested on
a point of law and John L. Lewis,
chief actor in the drama, mourned
the loss of a brother in Spring
field, IU.
But it was clear that unless
coal moved in the near future
there would be an immeasurable
increase in industrial paralysis, ec
onomic stagnstion and human
hardship.
Hardly any aegment of business
escaped the consequences of t h e
great coal strike.
Retail trade waa hurt by exten
sive brownouts and curtailed hours
of shopping in numerous cities as
officials sought frantically to chan
nel what little coal there waa on
hand to the place where it would
do the most good for the most
people.
The populous and heavy coal
consuming state of New York waa
among the places where drastic
rationing waa in effect
