T HE National Lumber and BuildI ing Material Dealers Assn. annual Conference with Congress is scheduled for April 28-29, in Washington, D.C.

During the past three years our National and federated associations have made tremendous inroads on Capitol Hill. We have become recognized as an industry and a group of industry members that have a great concern for the nation. We have industry members that attend many hearings on industry

It requires time and money. Not every dealer can afford the time and expense but there are many that can but do not. California has two senators and forty-three representatives which is a lot of power in Washington but we have only a small contingent of five or six that are willing to take the time to attend the Conference with Congress. With so few dealers in attendance it requires us to break into three teams and attempt to visit as many of our representatives as possible.

We make appointments to visit the representative in his office and attempt to persuade him to give favorable consideration to the needs of our industry. There are many issues at stake and every representative should be contacted, yet it is physically impossible with only six dealers.

There are many of you that should consider the Conference with Congress as a priority on your list and attend to help protect our industry. Our opponents, the consumer advocates and the environmental groups, are not hesitating to show their strength and as a result they are gaining on us. It will only be a few more years until they force us out of the type business we now operate. .unless we, as an industry, realize we must become involved. Plan to attend the Conference. Call your association.
