Rare ll Bill Urged

The 97th Congress and the Reagan Administration have an opportunity to reverse the government's status quo policies and programs for forestry, according to Howell H. Howard, president and chief executive officer, Edward Hines Lumber Co., Chicago, Il.

The key to the situation, he said, is resolution of the RARE II (Roadless Area Review and Evaluation) issue which has kept millions of acres of National Forest timberlands out of production.

Speaking in Washington, D.C., before some 300 retail lumber dealers attending the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association's Annual Conference with Congress, Howard urged NLBMDA and all segments of the forest industry to work together to secure passage of legislation giving statutory direction for the non-Wilderness multiple-use management of lands recommended for non-Wilderness in RARE II. Such legislation, he said, should also declare the final environmental impact statement for RARE II to be legally and factually sufficient. This would remove grounds for lawsuits

Asbestos Data Ordered

High-tenrperature wallboard and texture paint are the only products sold in large measures by building material dealers to be covered by the new Consumer Product Safety Commission order on asbestos in products.

The order requires manufacturers of specified categories of consumer products to furnish information concerning the use of asbestos in the products, the form in which the asbestos is present, the purpose served by the asbestos, the that could tie up the return of nonWilderness land to multiple use, he said. It would also settle the court injunction against non-Wilderness management now keeping nearly a million acres of National Forest lands in California out of production, he said. marketing and use patterns of the products, and available information on any testing of the products for asbestos fiber emission.

The order will expire onDec.22, 1981, with update information required to be submitted through that date. There is no requirement for building material dealers to submit information to the commission. However, the information submitted by manufacturers may form the basis for future action with respect to these products.

Club Founder Retires

Winding up a 50 year career in wood products, Anne C. Murray, founder of the Hoo-Hoo-Ettes, a growing sorority for women in the lumber business, is looking forward to having more time to organize additional clubs.

Roy Forest Products, Colton, Ca., where Anne spent the last 25 years as secretary-office and credit manager, honored her retirement with a party. Employees and their families were on hand to present her with an official plaque engraved with a special poem written by the company's Pat Tilley.

After years as a hardwood saleswoman for Western Hardwood Lumber, Los Angeles, Ca., starting in the early '30s, Anne later worked at the old W.E. Cooper Lumber Co., Los Angeles, from l95l to 1956. When she went to Roy Forest Products early that year, they were located in Van Nuys, Ca. In 1976 they relocated in Colton, Ca., and Anne started a daily 130 mile round trip from her Los Angeles home. She says that she finally retired only because of a back injury.

Anne is now organizing HooHoo-Ette Clubs in Minnesota and Texas. The organization, founded in 1951, has 17 clubs at present in California, Oregon, Arizona, and Hawaii. The international convention is set for May in Eugene, Or.

Energy Saving Tax Glaims Low

The average claim, according to the Intemal Revenue Service, was for less than $100 althoueh the allowable limit is $300.
