New Products and Energy Saving at Builders Show

More than 650 building product and appliance manufacturers spread their wares across an area the size of six football fields at the recent National Association of Home Builders' Convention/Exposition in Las Vegas, Nv.

Energy saving materials and construction techniques were a major theme of the exposition with products to add a touch of class to today's smaller homes also attracting attention.

Many solar displays and a variety of heating and cooling alternatives were displayed including the Sunmaster system with evacuated tub collectors which retain heat in much the same manner as Thermos bottles. Cornell Energy, Inc. had a solar water heater with a collector designed to look like a skylight when mounted on the roof. Energy Kote exhibited radiant heating panels for the ceilings while Conservation Technologies, Inc. showed ductless heating and cooling systems. Goettl Air-conditioning featured an evaporative cooler for energyefficient cooling in dry climates.

Also in this field were fireplaces by both Preway and Majestic which also demonstrated heat circulating inserts for existing masonry fireplaces. CorA-Vent's continuous ridge, hip and soffit vents to siphon off hot, moist attic air; U.S. Gypsum's extruded polystyrene insulation panels; Convenience Products' instant foam sealant and insulation, and Power Controls Corp.'s dimmer switch were other energy savers.

For the retrofit market Viking Energy Systems showed an interior storm window which seals magnetically around the interior frame. Capitol Products Corp. had a line of outside flange windows and Therma-Tru featured a French patio door with solid polyurethane core.

Bathrooms apparently are destinedto take on a new look with Maurice Herbeau Creations' handpainted earthenware basins with brass fittings shaped like swans or mythical beasts ; Ondine's watersaver massage showerhead, and Leonardi Gilbert's hand massage with special attachments as well as an underwater massage and a full length shower massage. The standard toilet can be converted to a bidet with International Hygenic's toilet seat.

Hot tubs retained their popularity with California Cooperage into a second generation of insulated, fourmassage jet tubs. Crown Spas and Watkins Manufacturing Co. showed portable models. Amerec and Ultra Sauna displayed modular and precut saunas.

A solid-state refrigerator/freezer from Lady Kenmore equipped with a door-mounted monitor that beeped when the door remained open for three minutes or more attracted lots of attention. Other messages from this kitchen robot included "Ok" when everything was functioning properly; "Fresh Ice" when new cubes were done; "Warm" when a good storage temperature had been ex-

Timber Changes Proposed

Louisiana-Pacific chairman and president Harry A. Merlo has proposed procedure changes for selling national timber to insure "a consistent, reasonable and orderly flow of funds to the U.S. treasury and the local government bodies with National Forests within their boundaries."

In a letter to Max Peterson, chief of theU.S. Forest Service, Mr. Merlo suggested strengthening federal timber sale contract terms to dampen speculation and promote fiscal responsibility.

His key recommendation is that federal timber purchasers put up a non-refundable cash downpayment at the time of the sale with half of this amount to go to local governments as partial payment for their share of the timber receipts.

Mr. Merlo also recommended a fixed payment schedule for purchase of federal timber so that budget plan- ners for local and federal governments could depend on a more orderly flow of funds, whether the timber was cut or not.

Charlie Goodman and Ron Noero, Goodman Lumber, as well as Shel Sussman, Inland Lumber Co., participated in the program.

Oregon Retailer Aids School

The Bill Bowerman Fund to benefit the University of Oregon library and school of music, as well as provide scholarship aid for academically superior students has been estabIished by the owners of Scharpf's Twin Oaks Builders Supply, Eugene, Or.

To finance the fund, William and Doris Scharpf, Albany, Lois Scharpf Reed and George Scharpf, Eugene, have given and pledged stock in Nike,

I

Inc., which manufactures athletic shoes originally designed by Bowerman for athletes at the U of Oregon where he was track coach. The Scharpf family was amongthose providing capital for the development of the company.

The fund is set up so that others may contribute to it. "We feel that the announcement of the family's gift and pledge is more a plea for others to contribute to the Bill Bowerman Fund than a tribute to us," William Scharpf said.

Minutes Equal Lost Hours

Man hours lost by employees wasting time can be cut by establishing these practices.

o Establish routines. For example, distribute paychecks at a set hour every payday to keep workers from watching the clock and wondering when they will be paid. o Be strict in limiting lunch hour to set time every day including Friday, but establish exceptions on special occasions such as the day before a holiday. o Do not allow employees to eat breakfast on the job after workday starts. o Establish the practice of having employees make up "to do" lists for the next day during the final minutes of the workday instead of gossiping or shuffling papers.
