SFPA Saddles Up for Chase

It'll be "High Noon at the S.P. Corral" when Southern Forest Products Association members move into Houston, Tx., for their annual meeting, Oct. l0-12, at the Houstonian Resort.

The western-flavored theme reflects the urgency of the many threats facing the Southern pine industrya dismal economy, the depressed housing market, a flood of Canadian lumber imports and lowpriced western lumber entering the southern markets, according SFPA.

They have called in a hired gun, Frank Cappiello, to help track the desperadothe economyin hopes that his insights can guide member companies on a survival course.

Cappiello, who will address the Oct. 12luncheon, is recognized as an expert on the national economy and an authority on investments.

The meeting agenda includes tactical sessions for the association's marketing, public affairs, forest resources and other committees. Status reports from the National Forest Products Association, the American Wood Council and the American Forest Institute will be heard.
