U. 5. Grants S65,9OO
For Standardization

The Producers Council said today
the Commerce Department had con-
tributed $65 5000 to the campaign to
standardize building parts. ,
The campaign, growing Shing, is
aimed at taking the hand-tailoring,
and hence lot of the cost, out OF
building.
The grant has been made to the
Modular Service Association. This
group is trying to set up industry
wide standards for building prod
ucts. Under the standards every
manufacturer of window frames. for
instance, would make the same sizes
and shapes. Time now spent cut
ting and fitting materials at build
ing sites would be eliminated. The
same would go for doors and other
building parts.
The Producers Council and the
American Institute of Architects
both are backing the drive. &
The Standardization plan would
use a 4-inch ''module" approved by
the American Standards Association.
The scheme would be extended TO
masonry materials and metal parts
rs well as doors and windows.

Ample Supply
OF Lumber in
U. 5. Reported
Association Cites
Ropid Upswing Of
Production in 1916

The. back of the lumber shortage
has been broken, thanks to rapid
upswing of production in 1916, the
National Lumber Manufacturers
Association said here this week.
Apparently a month ahead of the
Government in its statistics, the as
sociation estimated last years lum-
ber output at more than 32,000, ,000,-
600 board feet. This is 4,500, ,000, 900
board feet more than 1945.
The Civilian Production Admins
tration reported earlier this week
that November lumber production
again exceeded 5000, 1000, 600 board
feet. The agency said production
for the first II months last year was
81 ,889, ,409, 900 feet. Thus, it appears
the association estimates for the en-
tire year are conservative. y
4 Hardwood Flooring Scarce.
'In general the association de-
clared, "the lumber shortage is now
ended. Construction lumber is in
ample supply"
The report noted that certain
special lumber products, like hard
wood flooring, are still scarce in
some areas. Production of flooring
however, will soon be up to demand,
it added.

Der not solved completely is distri-

New Growth Equals Drain.

years lumber output was four times

In these days of housing short

families to double up. This not
only means severely restricted
space in which to carry on house,
keeping but hearly always a lack
of adequate kitchen facilities. To
overcome this a very compact and
complete kitchen unit has been
devised and is available now. 1t
occupies space of only eight square
feet, and if it can be recessed into
the wall it will, of course, require
still less room.
The assembly is made of steel and
has all the needed units for cook
ing, refrigeration and storage. It
is shipped complete, ready for the
necessary connections to be made.
These kitchen units provide for a
ventilation system that carries the
heat and cooking odors through a
duct to the outside air.
With Gas or Electric Range.
Each unit has a range and an
electric refrigerator. The overall
dimensions are 46x81hx22A inches.
Side units can be added if these
are wanted and possible in the space

My advice to those who want to get the

needs when you buy it, it has to be constantly

Pure Oil Loss

Loss of oil production caused by the
long continued Pure Oil Co. strike is not
the only loss which is involved in the dis
pute between the company management
and Oil Workers UniOn-CIO.
BY its stubborn attitude i'm rejecting
every offer to help, including that of the
L-M-C, its refusal TO bargain in good faith,
its stalling for the obvious purpose of
breaking the strike of its employees and its
public be damned" attitude, the Pure
Oil Co. has lost public confidence and
shown its scOrn for both the public and
its employees interests.
! On the other side of the picture, we
find the Oil Workers Union ready now.
as it has been ready ever since the begin
ing of the strike, to talk out its controversy
with the company across the bargaining
table, or, when this failed, and il is still
falling because Of the stalling, obstinate
position taken by the company manage
ment, to submit its case TO arbitration.
Every attempt which has been made
to aid in the solution Of the strike and
bring complete industrial peace TO Toledo,
which is now free of strikes with the ex-
ceptiOn of the oil workers stoppage, has
met with resistance and refusal by the
Pure Oil Co.
Such an attitude which cannot be
justified under any circumstances, is an
indication that the company must have
something to hide, that it dares not take
its case before arbitration and that it is
striving to break the union for the pur-
pose of saving face.
