ARTZONA'S 50rh

(Continued, lronr, Page 7 ) as $I,000 for an uncorrected hazard and $1,000 for every day therea{ter that the hazard remains uncorrected. Prison terms can also be invoked.

That afternoon, May 14, the Rev. Harry E. Olson urged in his inspirational speech that we all should "reach beyond our grasp" so that our final achievements in life will be even greater than we might have expected.

Everett Yost. a lumber dealer {rom Nebraska who also is a consultant and a yard broker, called for the need to make decisions to keep up with the accelerating pace of market shifts.

Ticking ofi various areas of dealer business such as truss,es, components, kitchens, land development, mobile and modulars and other added lines, gave a quick reprise of each area noting both: opportunities and problems.

Setting obtainable goals for everyone, including the owner, is an effective way for a firm to increase every individual's output.

The panel on housing reviewed the dramatic increases in mobile and modular housing, the dealer's presently limited role in this ballooning business and how he can enlarge it. Codes, factory inspection and transportation were also touched on by panelists Loren Dorman, NLBMDA, W.D. Page, Everett Yost, Dale Lusher and Dan Mardian. Richard Bullock, exec. vp., National Association of Building Manufacturers was the moderator.

A Rand study on Operation Breakthrough concluded dealers have no part in industrialized housing, so Loren Dorman said NLBMDA has been attempting to correct this situation. He suggested dealers investigate the Farmers Home Administra- tion's rural housing programs as an avenue to federal financing of low' cost housing. Yost observed that dealers can sell manufactured hous' es, develop land for them, arrange financing and a myriad of those services and thus take part in manu' f a c t u r e d housing's continuing growth.

It was also suggested that becom' ing fill-in suppliers to plants, a deal" er-builder and a supplier to parks and tenants are also sales slots now mainly unfilled by dealers.

The past president's luncheon was admirably mc'd by Jay O'Malley as he verbally pictured the men and events figuring in ALBSA's past 50 years. Three men who were at the first convention at Grand Canyon in l92l were present, Joe Tardy, Jack Halloran and Sam Shrigley. Also honored were William Francis Edens and Gus Michaels, who managed the association for 17 years.

The thirteen instructors of the building materials course at Phoe' nix College, instituted in large part by the association, were honored with plaques.

A poolside cocktail party tuned the members for that night's annual banquet, with its well'received speaker, Calvin Dean Johnson.

Outgoing president Ace Mason introduced new president Dean Drake as part of the closing ceremonies for the biggest convention ever' the 50th golden anniversary convention.
