MAIL TRIBUNE
Plywood Industry Forging Ahead
Recent announcement of plans for establishment
of two large plywood plants in the Medford area
evidences the increasing interest in and utilization
of the various types of this material in many phases
of construction.
While plywood has been manufactured for ap
proximately half a century,
recent years that its use in building has reached a
point where greatly increased expansion of produc
tion has been found profitable.
"OUTPUT of Douglas fir plywood in the western
states in 1954 has been estimated at 3.85 billion
square feet, the highest production total in the indus
try's history. According to The Timberman, timber
industry journal, published in Portland, the addition
al 550 million square feet produced in British Colum
bia brought the total production of Douglas fir ply
wood to 4.4 billion square feet. In addition there were
275 million square feet of pine plywood, 26 million
square feet of redwood plywood and 87 million square
feet of other softwood plywoods, bringing the. total
softwood ply production for the western part of
North America to 4.75 billion feet. The area also pro
duced 127 million square feet of hardwood plywood
for a grand total of 4.88 billion feet of plywood in
the west
The Timberman reports that during 1954 there
were 159 separate plywood and veneer operations in
the west coast states, 112 producing plywood and 47
turning out veneer.
THE amazing growth in demand for plywood en-
couraged the , construction of eight new plants
during the past year, four of them in Oregon, three in
California and one in British Columbia. This year will
see 51 softwood plywood plants in Oregon, 36 in
Washington, 17 in California, 10 in British Columbia
and one each in Idaho, Montana and Alaska.
Six veneer operations were started in 1954, four
in California, one in Washington and one in Canada.
Present indications are that at least eight new
plywood plants will come into operation in the year
just starting.
If the two new plants get into production here
this year they will be able to help supply a demand
which the industry optimistically expects will take
10 million square feet more a week. Some of this
optimism is based on the fact that 1.2 million housing
starts are estimated for 1955 and recent records show
plywood is becoming an increasingly popular material
in this field. Remodeling, maintenance and repairs
plus warehouse and offices and heavy construction
are also other markets where plywood is expected to
gam.
THE past year wasn't all
in the first quarter and a
summer curtailed output. However, at the strike s end,
pent-up demand for the product pushed new orders
and production to new highs. According to the Inn
berman, conservative estimates put sales for the year
about two per cent ahead
Concerning the long-term outlook, The Timber
man sees broad and expanding markets tor plywood
and quotes the Stanford Research Institute report
made for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., as authority
for an estimated demand for 7.2 billion square feet
of plywood per year by 1975.
IN ADDITION to the expansion in ordinary plywood
1 production it is noted that new developments in
the general plywood family are gaining in acceptance.
Texture One-Eleven, a grooved plywood panel first
introduced m 1953 was being sold at annual rate of
about 36 million square feet
panels, brushed, striated and embossed, are bemg
produced by at least 14 plants at a rate of 53 million
square feet annually. Production of specialty panels
in 1954 was estimated at 118 'million square feet.
Particle board and hardboard, two products close
ly related to the plywood industry, are also forging
ahead. Particle board, a more recent development,
is now being produced by at least 23 firms. Hard
board, a similar but more established product, en
joyed a production of 1.59 billion square feet in 1954.
In the west, nine hardboard plants produced an
estimated 818 million square feet and the three east
ern plants turned out an estimated 770 million square
feet.
THE Stanford Research Institute report sees an in
1 creasing use of hardboard. More and more is be
ing used by the furniture and fixtures industry for
drawers, dresser backs, under plastic surfaces in
dinette sets, and for table tops in inexpensive furni
ture built for hard wear. In the fixtures segment of
the industry, it'is used for displayscounters and par
titions. The institute says total hardboard consumption in
all uses may be expected to go from the 1952 level
of about one billion square feet to around three bil
lion square feet by 1975. If this projection proves
anywhere near correct the time may come when lum
ber manufacturing interests in this region will wish
they had gotten an earlier start in this phase of the
industry, just as some now probably wish they had
given more thought to plywood earlier in the game.

He describes the miniature
war involving Nationalist is

as an OVERTURE TO THE BAT

He adds that full-scale war
may break out at any time.

em editor Bill Mathews cf the
Arizona Daily Star in Tucson.
Bill is a globe-trotter. He has
been all over the world. As he
travels, he uses his eyes and he
uses his head. He savs: .
"Anyone who says the world
can not exist part slave and part
iree contradicts all history. Co

Deen a normal fact of history

AS proof of what he says, let's
take a Innlr at 'Rri-rain
Over the long centuries when
the idea of freedom of individ
ual men was taking shape in
.cngiana, Jtngiisnmen were rela
tively FREE as freedom went
in those days. Everywhere else
individual men were enslaved.
So
You see
In those centuries, the com
paratively free British coexisted
with the practically enslaved
peoples of the smaller world nf
that day. Out of that coexistence
came the BETTER world of
TODAY.
As BUI Mathews savs. co
existence CAN WORK.
That is one of the important
lessons of history.

U agan. In those centuries she
fought often. At one time or
another, she was at war with
every nation of Europe. At one
time or another she was AL
LIED with every nation in
Europe. . ,
But
Through it all she was fight
ing for an objective that was
vital to her own welfare. That
objective was to see to it that no
nation became powerful enough
to DOMINATE Europe. If that
had been permitted to come to
pass, the little island of Britain
would have been a goner.

While this went on -The

and are usually found voting on
the same side.
Britain agrees with the United
States that the time has not yet
come to admit the Chinese Cou
munists to the U.N.
When the U.N. took up the
issue of the imprisonment of 11
American airmen by the Reds,
the most eloquent and most force
ful speech in favor of U.N. ac
tion was made by British dele
gate Anthony Nutting.
Nutting also said that Britain
would be "involved" if the Chi
nese Reds attacked Formosa.
U. N. Involved
That caused quite a stir in Lon
don, though it was obviously
right. Britain and Nationalist
China are fellow members of the
U.N., and an attack on any U.N.
member naturally would "in
volve" the others.
Finally, Britain is a member
of the Southeast Asia treaty pact
which is aimed directly against
possible Chinese Red aggression.
. The Peiping government has
started to make it plain it does
not like Britain's policy.
Red Prendre Chou En-Lai
said in a speech on Dec. 21 that
Britain's support of United
Statea policy toward Formosa
"impairs the relations between
China and Britain."
"The Chinese government can
not but feel great regret at this
attitude of the British govern
ment," Chou said.
The British Labor government
recognized Red China on Jan. 6,
1950, immediately after Gener
alissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Na
tionalist government was driven
from the mainland. It is much
easier to enter diplomatic rela
tions than to break them, and
there has been no suggestion that
Britain would consider such a
break.
Obviously, however, Britain is
in a diplomatic jam in its con
flicting East Asia policy. Sooner
or later something wiU have to
be done about it. But it would
take a major prophet to suggest
what.

Is That So?
By Eugene Burnt
Ringer-Naturalist
Facts vs. fallacies. This one
is about snakes.
Fallacy: A snake can inflict
poison and sting with its forked
tongue. v
Fact: The flickering forked
tongue is soft and Incapable of
inflicting any injury. It is a
highly developed sense organ
used principally in touching and
as an aid in smelling. That is
why, as the snake goes about, it
darts its tongue in and out con
tinuously, particularly when its
suspicion has been aroused.
Fallacy: A rattlesnake s age
can be told by the number of
its rattles. '
Fact: This belief stems from
the assumption that the rattler
sheds its skin once a year and
in doing so adds a rattle. How
ever, the rattlesnake does not
shed its skin once a year regu
lary. It sheds its skin, depending
upon the amount of food it eats.
It may not shed at aU, or it may
shed several times, two or three
in fact, comes closer to being
the average. And although a rat
tle is; usually added with each
shedding, old ones frequently
break off.
Fallacy: Snakes can charm
birds, animals and even humans
by their cold stare.
Fact: It. is true that some peo
ple are so frightened by snakes
that they are frozen immovable
but this reaction is not the same
as being charmed or hynotized.
May Become Frightened
Furthermore, most naturalists
do not believe that snakes can
charm smaller animals any more
than they can charm people. But
it seems possible that some of
the. smaller creatures may like
wise become so frightened that
they cannot move until it is too
late. It must be borne in mind
too that some animals "freeze'1
becoming immobile, to avoid be
ing seen by many of their foes.
Some mother birds flutter
dangerously near a snake to give
it the impression of easy capture
until it has drawn the snake a
safe distance from its nest when
it miraculously recovers and
flies away. Occasionally, a moth
er bird. underestimates the rap
id darting of a snake and its cap

Duff Ideal Choice ,
To The Editor: I am pleased
with Medford's city council in
their appointment of Mr. Robert
Duff as city manager. 4
For a number of years my
family and I lived in Grand
Junction, Colo., a city about the
size of Medford. They have had
the city manager form of gov
ernment there since about 1925.
For several years I was em
ployed by the city of Grand
Junction in their shops and dur
ing that time saw a number of
managers come and go. It
seemed those from other states
and with the highest recommen
dations sometimes cost the tax
payers the most money for ierv
ices rendered.
It is reasonable that a man ac
quainted with the affairs of
Medford and as well known as
is Mr. Duff, would be the ideal
choice for city manager.
Medford has made many gains
in the 8 years. we have lived
here and I feel confident we wiU
continue to progress undejr our
new city manager form of gov
ernment. Again, I wish to express my
appreciation to the city council
for their choice of .Mr. Duff as
our first city manager.

Regarding the New Year Date
To the Editor: I noted in yes
terday's paper an editorial over
your initials in which you state:
Up to the time of Julius Caesar
the Romans had dated the New
Year from the beginning of win
ter ... -
If I remember my history cor
rectly the fifth and sixth
months of the Roman calendar
or Quintilus and Sextilus got the
present names of July and Aug-
ust in honor of Julius and Au
gustus Caesar but the- seventh,
eighth, 9th, and 10th months of
the Roman calendar still bear the
names of these numerals, i.e
September, October, November,
and December. But if December
meant the "tenth" month at the
time of Julius Caesar, then
March must have been the first
month and February the last
which would seem logical as it
has an odd length compared to
the other months which ere of
either 30 or 31 days.

However, those who can re

if they keep their fingers
crossed.
Whoever Is. running this
show has always had a bad
habit of raising hopes highest,
when old Humpty Dumpty has
been just about to fall off the

Brother, you have said i
mouthful. From all signs and in
dications it won't be long now.
When bankers and investment
"counselors' (with their hun
dred percent record of stupidity
and miscalling the turn over the
past 50. years), along with most
other forecasters, come out with
"reassuring" statements that the
present stock market boom "is
not like 1929 because it aint,"
and our synthetic prosperity
(supported for the past twenty
years solely by fantastic public
spending) is the real McCoy and
destined to go on and on? Well,

The Greek word translated
"wise men" is "magi" and means
magicians or astrologers. Show

Acts 13:8-10 where this same .
Greek word "magus" (singular
of magi) is used to refer to Ely

called a son of the Devil. (God
condemned astrology among the
ancient Israelites see Isa. 47:13)
the "wise men" were led by the
star to murderous King Herod,
and only after such visit did it
come and stand over Jesus.
Would God have sent un-Theo-
cratic astrologers, guided them
by something the Jews were for
bidden to worship, and sent them
to a heathen king who wanted
to kill Jesus? Only Satan, the De
vil would plot such a thing! Also,
the wise men didn't come bear
