"The Unpardonable Sin" 



"The unpardonable sin of the business world of 

 the future will be waste." 



"Waste of material or labor of time or of 

 money and only less heinous in degree than 

 the sin of commission will be the sin of omission." 



These quotations are extracted from an excellent 

 editorial of the same title appearing in the 

 October 15th issue of "The Gulf Coast Lum- 

 berman." They are equally applicable to the 

 waste that results from failure of protecting 

 structural wood against decay. 



The "Sin of Omission" is*" neglecting to become 

 informed regarding the practice of wood pres- 

 ervation and the potential economy of its 

 application. 



The "Sin of Commission" is willful disregard 

 of the factor of durability the attitude of "tak- 

 ing a chance;" the erection of timber structures 

 where influences favorable to decay are known 

 to exist, without employment of remedial 

 measure 



(Green wood cannot be effec- 

 tively creosoted by non-pressure 

 processes It should be air-dry. 

 In regions of moist, warm cli- 

 mate, wood of some species may 

 start to decay before it can be 

 air-dried. Exception ahould be 

 made in auch cases, and treat- 

 ment modified accordingly.) 



;ng: Applying Carbosota to enda, mortises, and ' 

 f caps and stringers for trestle. 



Preservation of structural wood from decay is 

 essentially a conservation measure, and then 

 beneficial to the entire nation. 



Non-pressure processes i. e. the Open Tank 

 Process and Surface Treatments, such as brush 

 applications, spraying or dipping are particu- 

 larly adaptable to the conditions, of average 

 consumers and are practical as well as efficient.
