Building Code Man Says Local Action Better for Lumber Use Action on the local level is most effective in promoting wider use of lumber in build ing construction, Neil R Pin son, building codes expert for the American Lumber Mau facturer s association, told the local Hoo Hoo club last night. Pinson and representatives of the local lumber industry were to meet with Medford School Superintendent Leon ard Mayfirld and Central Point School Superintendent Charles Myers to discuss the use of lumber in local school construction. Dr. Mayficld had said ear lier that present regulations "preclude the use of lumber in schools here." Tom Oliver, Timber Products manager said at the Hoo Hoo club meeting. Speaking before the frater nal organization of lumber manufacturers and dealers, Pinson said his group is tour ing 24 Pacific Northwest cit ies conducting clinics with school official to explain the advantages of wood construc tion in schools. "Recent fire tests have changed the minds of many reople in the building trade on the fire durability of wood," Pinson said. "The general assumption is that any non-combustible ma terial is safer than wood. Wood will burn but structural timber will retain its shape and strength longer than steel," he said. "Temperatures of 1.000 de grees Fahrenheit or more are needed to ignite lumber. A man cannot survive 200-de-gree temperatures in a build ing, but wood at that tempera ture level will not scorch or ignite," Pinson said. "A building is not fire safe by being merely fire resist ant. Proper planning and ar rangement of rooms and sec tions is needed as well as use of firewalls and fire-doors," he added. Pinson illustrated his points with a movie showing wood beams and steel beams put to a fire test. After 13 minutes of intense heat and fire at 1, 360 degrees the steel support ed roof panel broke and fell, and the wood Beam remained in position and was only charred at five-sixteenths and seven-sixteenths of Inch in depth. A crew of men could walk on the wood-beam supported roof panel after the fire. The test showed that the steel sup- lice power over construction This can have a profound ef fect upon area growth. If building codes are too restric tive, commercial and indus trial building moves outside port lost its strength at 800 I the city. This means loss of to 900 degrees, Pinson noted. "The whole thing is that you can't sell lumber If the law won't permit its use." Pinson pointed out. "It's through building codes that a community expresses its po- taxes and employment within the city. It could also mean a stagnated area within a city." Pinson said there are four nation-wide codes which may be adopted by cities: southern standard code, national code, unifoi code or basic code. Medford uses the 1958 edition of the uniform building code with certain amendments. Amendments ninrie to cedes by local authorities are often more restrictive than the code adopted, Pinson said. He urged lumbermen to study their local building codes, particularly the local amendments. This should he done while a community is in the process of amending and adopting a cod.

"We ran help you mora if you call us during the code formulation period," Pinson said. "We have enntacted 1,. 500 cities and reviewed over 300 building codes."
