THURSDAY, JULY 2S, 1963 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON 'New Look' in Forest Lookout Towers Developed Madison. Wis. - A "new look" forest lookout tower, with interchangeable strut tural timbers and panelized prefabricated cab, has been designed with the aid of sci entists at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory here, working with engineers of the Forest aervlce and a Se attle, Wash., firm. Designed for quick, easy assembly in remote areas to which the timbers and panels can be brought by helicopter if necessary, the tower can be erected in heights from 40 to nearly 100 feet, according to the 1962 annual report of the Forest Service laboratory iust issued here. The Forest service plans to build the first tower of the new design, a 63-footer, this year at the Heybrook lookout on the Skykomisn district Snoaualmie National forest. in Washington, according to J. Herbert Stone, Portland regional forester. If the pro totvoe tower proves success ful, the design may be stand ardized for similar towers on national forests elsewhere in the West. The annual report also re views findings In many other branches of forest products research under way at the laboratory, which is main tained here by the U.S. De partment of Agriculture. Report Highlights Highlights include: 1. A new method of pre stressing glued laminated wooden beams thai greatly in creases their load capacity for floors and roofs. 2. Promise of bigger pulp yields from wood by im proved chemical pulping pro cesses. 3. A method of stiffening paper that also makes it less prone to shrinking and swell ing with humidity changes-a boon to color printers, paper box makers, mapmakers, and producers of tabulating cards for electronic computers. 4. A low-cost chemioal treat ment for concrete that kills termites crawling over It. The chemical is Incorporated in freshly mixed concrete for house foundations and other structures. 5. New chemicals that have economic promise for making plastics, foams, films, liu mcctants, and other industri al products from low-grade wood now unusable. 6. New knowledge of the chemical nature of llgnin, a major component of wood now largely discarded at pa per mills. Besides results of research done by its own staff, the re port covers studies done else where for the laboratory un der grants of funds. Among these were results of experi ments with laser light beams and high-powered water jets to cut and machine wood.
