Birch Doors for Antarctica

A good argument for a building product could well be --where witt it be used? And, what factors contribute to its selection?

There wasn't a lot of debating when it came to selecting doors for a project being- constructed in Anturcti.u with the U.S. Navy and the National Science Foundation as Prime contractors.

Solid core birch doors from Simpson Timber Company's Columbia Door div. were selected for all ini"tiot doors. The specification of wood doors fulfilled three important faciors: high quality standards, good insulation and light weight. Since everything has to be flown into the site, weight was of paramount importance, second only to the need for a door that would stand up to the eitreme weather conditions near the South Pole.

The project is Williams Field "2" Camp, a replacement air facility, involving dormitory, barracks and support shop. The 150 man camp is situated on Ross tcd Strett and is part of the McMurdo Station Rloject' Ross Ice Shelf, about the size of Texas, is attached to the continent, but is a constantly moving force, movins about one loot per day. The sea ice must provide foi the weight of ski planes and helicopters.

The horising portion of the project is supplied by Trans-World Housing, Vancouver, Wa' Doors were manufactured by Simpson Timber Co. at the Columbia Door plant, Vancouver, Wa., and -slpplied through Lumber Products Co., Portland, Or. Valley Millwork is the pre-hanger. The Williams Field II project is being built over a three-Year Period.

Due to the isolation of Antarctica and to its severe *e"tt'tit conditions. each station and camp is staffed and equipped to operate virtually independently-in providing liie support services to all station and camp members.

After a day at the office, Jim really relaxes and assumes coaching duties forthe Dallas Panthers so@er team. Talk to him. He'll tell you how Willamette makes the lumber game a lot easier by efiiciently filling requests for top quality lumber and plyrood products .. sheathing, underlayment, studs, dimension, clears, boards and timbers. No matter how large or how small the ordef heand 1,000 other wholesalers-count on us to deliver on time.

Our vast timber holdings provide more than 50 percent of our timber needs for our 25 building materials plants. This gives us the capacity to keep them supplied through the toughest times and most demanding assignments. And we can meet industrial specs for cutting, routing and shaping.

We're proud of our close communication with our distributors. And depend on them for their knowledge of the market. That's why Willamette's alwaysthere atthe other end of the line, ready to back them up when they need it. \Ab're pleased when we can maketheir job a little less complicated. .with more time to relax. So ofi the job, people like Jim Nolte can put lumber buying worries out of their mind and think about kicking goals.

Relax.\rbu'\re got Willamette.
