San Diego Design Contest

Winners of the 25th annual Architectural Design Contest sponsored by the San Diego Lumber Association were announced at the awards dinner attended by 76 architects, instructors, students and members.

Competition was open to students enrolled in architectural classes in San Diego, Ca., county community colleges. There were 58 entries from three colleges.

Cash prizes totaling $1,400 were awarded by the association and the local chapter of Hoo-Hoo International, a lumbermen's fraternity. An additional $4,000 in scholarships was presented by the New School of Architecture.

The contest focused on the design of a mixed use commercial and residential building that accommodates an indoor-outdoor restaurant and art gallery on the ground floor and three residential apartments on the second floor.

The project specifications, and judging, called for the maximum utilization of lumber and wood products in the structure and cabinetry.

"This contest provides architectural students with creative. first hand experience in the design process, particularly as it relates to the versatility and benefits of using lumber and wood products," said Ray Bumbaugh, association president. During the quarter century of sponsorship, the contest has helped many students obtain scholarships, admission to leading architectural universities and financial assistance. he said.

New California Hardwood Mill

A new sawmill to handle Califor- nia hardwoods - noted for their difficulty and slowness in milling and dryinghas been opened in Arcata, Ca.

The mill is located next to Beaver Lumber of Arcata's operations and will sell its products through Beaver. Though owned by Beaver Lumber owner Richard Winkel, it is a separate company.

The small mill began sawing local black oak and tanoak logs into boards in late April, though production temporarily halted to have new parts fabricated. "lt's a slow process," explained sales manager Dave McCartney. "We built it from the ground up, and Cal Oak (Lumber Co., Oroville, Ca.) is the only other one I know milling local hardwoods."

SPIB Pullout Stalls AWPB Revamp

A merican Wood Preservers Bureau's reorganization into a treating industry overview group has been delayed due to reservations by Southern Pine Inspection Bureau members.

At an April 12 SPIB board of governors meeting, a consensus could not be reached to support the change from being overseen by an outside organization (ANSI) to an organization within the industry (A\\'PB).

All other phases of the reorganization, including approval by the other l0 agencies involved. were completed by the May l5 target date, said A\4'PB's Eric Yeadon. Yet

SPIB's ll5 subscribers account for about 45%' ol all southern pine production.

"lf they don't go along with it, the whole program will break down," said Yeadon. "lronically, they are the ones who instigated it two years ago."

A\\'PB and the Southern Pine Marketing Council continue to urge dissenting treaters to rethink their position. SPIB will again poll its subscribers in mid-July.

SPIB members expressed various reservations about the change, said SPIB's Tom Jones. "And for such a change, there must be a broad consensus." he said.
