In the year since these two words first came into public use they have been blamed for every thing but the common cold. In the last two weeks, lumber producers have been getting a con centrated lesson in what the two words encompasses. At a meeting of the Western Forest Industries Assn. in Vancouver, B. C, and another meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. in Portland they were told that there are aa many ramifications to what ia go ing on in the housing business as a band saw haa teeth. Each of these ramifications haa some effect on home construction. In 1955 home building waa at an all-time high of 1.350,000 atarta. Lumbermen couldn't aeem to satis fv the demand for forest product. Mortgage credit waa free and easy. In fact it waa too free and easy. The Federal Reserve Board, keep ing a aharp eye on the atate of the , economy, foresaw a burgeoning inflation and clamped on some con-' trols. The board, through it re gional banks, began charging more for the money it loaned to mem ber banks. It became less easy for homebuilders to get credit and financing. At the aame time, the industry itself apparently underwent a change. There was a shift from many relatively low-cost units to fewer, more expensive nouses. Early in 1956. lumber and ply' wood producera watched housing start slide off their peak. Fewer than 1,100.000 new bouse were started that year. Lumber demand akidded down' ward almost In pace with the new start. By the beginning of 1957 the monthly lumber production rate was 7 U 10 per cent below the five-year average. Western producera acrambled to hold their markets and to develop new one to cushion the drop. More serious for most Western Oregon mills was the aharp drop in lumber prices. Buyer began to dicker.

In manv cases, these prices ! there waa little left in between for logging and milling costs, let alone profit. The result was a general cutback in production during 1956, and pro bably during most of 1957. This is why you probably can find someone in your neighborhood, Eerhaps even yourself, who has ad a pretty lean time of it. In many cases the mills have been able to soften the shock to individual employes by working shift on alternate weeks giving each man one week of work out of every two or so or by cut ting back from five to four day weeks. The picture is not all bleak. There are some encouraging aigna for the near future despite pre dictions that house construction starts this year will be down around one million or even less.
