Resource Recommendqlions

The 1968 Economic Council of the Forest Products Industry believes thot the resource problems of the forest products indusiry ore so vitol to the economic well being of its mony elements thot such problems should not be overshodowed by other industry needs ond occordingly recommends the following:

{ll A broqdened locol bose of support for the respective roles of AFPI, in forestry educotion of the public, ond NFPA, in government, forestry, ond legislotive progroms.

(2) Industry implementotion of the Forest Products Industry Orgonizotion Committee recommendotion for oppointment of on oction committee, from orgonizotions inierested in forestry io develop o progrom for encouroging full porticipotion in ond support of notionol forestry octivities-NFPA to coordinote this effort.

(31 Strong endorsement for on immediote ond continuing notionol economic lond use study to be funded by oll ossociotions interested in row moteriol problems.

In conclusion, the 1968 Council notes thqt totol funds being generoted for oll purposes through existing ossociotions hove been shrinking, both in dollor volume ond in the progressively diminishing purchosing power of present budgets. ln view of increosing needs in oll oreos, the industry must give serious considerolion to ihis situotion.

EN YEARS AGO I said to a great gathering of retail lumbermen: there are three ways for a retail lumberman to get business: Waiting, Fighting, Merchandising.

The most admirable division, of course, is the Merchandising. Listen, Mr. Dealer, if you don't sell every home owner in your community something in the line of building materials at least once every year you are not doing justice to your job. If you are working for someone else, you should quit. If you are working for yourself, hire some competent person to do it for you.

The average man, unsolicited, won't come a-shopping or asking for your stock ozce in five years. But being constantly solicited, he will frequently find use {or building materials and services. And that's wher.e the Merchandising department steps in.

Will Rogers And Bill Bryan

Th,e story is told of the meeting of the famous comedian Will Rogers and William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Bryan said: o'Oh, yes, Mr. Rogers, I have heard of you. I understand that you make humorous talk, say things that sre funny. Of course, I also do lots of talking, but mine is a different line. My talking is of a

serious character. Your aim is to make people laugh. Mine is to educate them."

"Wouldn't it be funny," responded Rogers, "if we were both wrong?"

Rent

Rent is a monthly reminder that you are not a home owner. Rent enables the landlord to run round in limousines, and the tenant to run round in circles.

It is a lot harder to pay for the upkeep of a circle than it is for the upkeep of a limousine.

Koppers Exponds in Denver

Koppers Co., Inc., has announced it is installing facilities for pressure-treating of utility poles and other wood products by the Cellon process at its Denver, Colorado, plant.
