Nixon on Timber Supply

"More lumber and plywood to build more houses will require growing and harvesting more trees through improved tim-ber management," James R. Turnbull, exec. vp. of National Forest Prod' ucts Assoeiation, has said, citing President Nixon's o'Second An' nual Report on National Housing Goals" as his authority.

He quoted tle official Nixon housing report as stating:

"The analysis undertaken considered probable demands for softwood timber and plywood stemming from both the housing industry and from the remainder of the economy. The study showed that only through an accelerated management program in both public and private forests could there be any reasonable expectation of adequate supplies of such lumber over the decade to meet all the likely needs at reasonable prices."

PR Push for Building ldeos

The first national public relations program for both the general public and every segment of the building industry on the transi' tion to industrialized building has begun. In support of their Industrialized Building Exposition and Congress, due this fall, Cahners Publishing Co. is underwriting a total communications program to sell and gain wide acceptance for industrialized and iystems building in both shelter, commercial and institutional fields.

While the building industry professionals now generally agree that industrialized construction can help solve many of the prob' lems of rising costs and short labor supply, this conviction must now be shared by this public, they stress.
